Hehehehe. Nice try but D.O.A. And Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross-River were part of the old Eastern Region but today they are SS. Besides, you will never meet a Yorubaman in Kwara deny his Yoruba affiliation -- at worst he'll claim to be a product of Fulani-Yoruba inter-marriage. But the same can't be said about your Ikwerre neighbors who denounce igbo affiliation and still hold on to seized igbo properties. Guy, just drop this coz you are picking the wrong fight.

Per the bolded, it is a silly attempt to be hilarious. Ikwerre did not seize any Igbo properties. The property seizure was carried out by Nigerian government spurred by Yari.ba and Ijo.

T9ksy:
And only non-ibos are corrupt in the country? And who made you ibos the prosecutors, jury and the executioner?

I am not surprise form the above post. The coup was never Igbo thing but Nigerian army’s stuff coincidentally led by officers from Igbo extraction. Those who partook in the coup were soldiers who knew the level of rot such nepotistic tendencies will impact on Nigeria army. However, few miscreants in Nigeria turned it into Igbo thing.

T9ksy:
Oh, so according to you and your impish folks, because Tafawa Balewa allegedly introduced nepotism into the Nigerian Army, that was enough reason for your brothers to snuff the life out of him? Am certain you and your ilk will tender "genuine" reasons for every non-ibos your blood-thirsty brothers killed in the jan 1966, coup.


It was a good thing Awo was in prison at the time 'cause am sure you guys would have had him murdered too, for one reason or the other, irrespective of how preposterous it sounds to sane minds.

I have known you for a while and realized that when you shout fight corruption, it is only a mindless gesture of a hypocritical whiner. Are you among those Nigerians who thought corruption is limited to embezzlement? Actually, embezzlement is the most junior in the class of corruption. Well, Awo was in Nigerian prison located in Calabar which was part of eastern region of all places. I hope you are not insinuating that Calabar was in western region.

If you have problems of your true ethnicity as demonstrated in a previous post where a dumbass jackass such as you claimed Hausa/Fulani, please do not attempt to drag Ndiigbo in Delta State into such moronic melancholy. There is no ethnic group in Nigeria known as Hausa/Fulani. However, there is ethnic group known as Hausa or Fulani or Kanuri or Nupe. Please try to identify your blackass properly before you foolishly dabble into issues beyond your intellectual stratum.

TonyeBarcanista:
Buhari will make the biggest mistake should he replace the sacked directors with ONLY his tribesmen/regional men.

Do you think a Fulani herdsman such as Buhari understands your grammar of civility?

wolesmile:
So, now these stagnant fools think they are Jews, But why don't they embark on exodus to Isreal instead of trying to destabilize our own country? Awon alaimon eyi tii kan.

I guess it takes one stagnant fool such as you to recognize another.

Idrismusty97:
He was executed by Ojukwu! At least he taught the beast how to dress like a woman. You killed an innocent Northerner then get killed by your own kinsmen while doing what will benefit them. Now that's Karma at its best! Didn't the monster Ojukwu still negotiate a ceasefire at the end? But it was already too late, 3 million lives have been wasted.

Shut up your putrid mouth and stop punching above your weight class. You are an intellectual midget. Only dumbass rapscallion will term Tafawa Balewa an innocent northerner. The jackass who introduced nepotism into Nigerian army and produced un-certificated deadbeat generals such the Daura Dumbass and other goons from northern region of Nigeria.

The Daura Dumbass is a product of corruptible endeavors. The dude is a walking fraud.

TonyeBarcanista:
It is not unexpected. He can even go-ahead and sack Osinbajo. This administration has been about fire, sack, relieve appointment and retrenchment. No positive so far

It is a calculated design to "northernized" Nigeria. Unfortunately, it is a government of Yari.ba and northern Nigerian elites by the northern Nigerian elites for northern Nigerian elites.

The cartoon is classic. Nigerians who idiotically hunger for change will see no change.

It is laughable to read about reasonability and Obasanjo in one sentence. Most Nigerians are clowns.

As part of the measures to carry out Buhari’s
directive to rid the nation of corruption,the new
Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs
Service, Col. Hameed Ali has demanded for the
files of top officers of the service.


Ali on Friday evening said corrupt officers and
men of the agency will go to jail and that all
Customs Area Controllers, heads of units and
departments will be accountable for infraction
dealing with false declaration, deliberate
misapplication of the tariff, undervaluation and
concealment.


Ali read the Riot Act at his first meeting with all
officers and men at the Customs Headquarters, in Abuja. He said: “Since I took over yesterday
(Thursday), I have been receiving briefing notes
to enhance my understanding of the Nigeria
Customs Service. I have articulated some ideas
to start with, and I have found it necessary to
share these ideas with you. These ideas shall be
the guiding principle and platform for a smooth
takeoff.


“First and foremost, it is important that we
know where we are going. We can start by
ensuring that we pick up the mantle of Mr.
President’s policy thrust. Therefore, in
conjunction with you, moving with you and
fighting with you we will fight corruption and
restore discipline through attitudinal orientation
for effective service delivery.


“However, I must stress this for emphasis. I will
not tolerate indiscipline. I will not tolerate
corruption. I have zero tolerance for corruption.
“Considering my military background, I believe
punishment must be punitive for others to see it
as a deterrent. Therefore, as an officer of the
Nigeria Customs Service, if you are caught
involved in corruption, I am not only going to
dismiss you, I will make sure I prosecute and jail
you. That is basic!”

Do these moronic Nigerian dingbats understand the meaning of corruption? The appointment of the dumbass fool as DG of the Customs epitomizes core corruption.

Abagworo:
The twisting of facts and outright falsehood by media houses affiliated to political parties should be put on check. 3 Governors of Akwa Ibom, Imo and Abia embarked on that economic trip but only Imo has been grounded. And who said that civil servants have not been paid. I can reliably say it loud that Imo State has paid one month ahead. So in essence the Government is not owing any active civil servant but has rather overpaid till September. Even the parastatals are being paid at this moment.

Its time for Buhari to take strict measures against false and manipulative reports from paid media houses.

Are you one of the civil servants in Imo State? Okay for the sake of posterity, how could this Okorocha's delusional trip Turkey of all places expose Imo State to industrial Greenland? Is this idiotic trip a part of industrial crash program that required 100 people in the entourage? How long will the crash program last in order to give the 100 people enough skill set to fire off industrial revolution in Imo State? This is the type of behavior that creates funny names for Africans.

A night with Nigeria’s Chief of Army in Gamboru

The border town of Gamboru, a town in North-Eastern Nigeria, has witnessed several attacks by Boko Haram insurgents. Apart from attacking the village and sending residents fleeing to nearby communities including Fotokol in Cameroon, Boko Haram also occupied Gamboru and for about a year lorded over the area.

However on Wednesday, one week after Nigerian soldiers recaptured the town after fierce battles with the insurgents, the Nigerian Army chief, Tukur Buratai, vowed the town would never fall to insurgents again. In an unprecedented move, the army chief not only visited Gamboru to fraternise with soldiers, he slept in the quiet town.

In a display of strength, Mr. Buratai, a Lieutenant General, also ordered the hoisting of Nigeria’s flag that was a taboo during the Boko Haram conquest.
For anyone that saw what the terrorists made of the once bubbling and economically vibrant Gamboru, having a army chief pass a night there would be one of the craziest things a top soldier would consider doing.

The Trip

The trip from Maiduguri to Gamboru is just 145km. But it took about 12 hours to get there, as the Explosive Ordnance Department of the Nigerian Army had to sniff every inch of the route for land mines. Many land mines buried by Boko Haram were unearthed and defused by the bomb experts.

But one went off, injured some soldiers and destroyed one of the Armoured Personnel Carriers.
The Chief of Army Staff alongside other top army rednecks arrived Gamboru at about 5 p.m. on Wednesday. PREMIUM TIMES and other journalists were also part of the trip.

Mr. Buratai’s first  task after addressing cheering soldiers was to hoist Nigeria’s flag in the liberated territory. Boko Haram had forced the residents of Gamboru to flee their homes for many months now. Most of them are still taking refuge in Fotokol, about 500 meters away. Nigeria and Cameroon are separated in that area by a river, which has a concrete bridge across it.

PREMIUM TIMES observed that when the Chief of Army Staff and his troops arrived near the bridge to hoist the Nigerian Flag, the quiet area almost turned chaotic as over 3000 Nigerians taking refuge in Fotokol went wild in excitement,  hailing the soldiers from the bank of the river on the Cameroonian side. The mood caused tears from some observers especially as the poor villagers, who had spent months looking at their devastated hometown from across the river, continued to chant ‘Sai Baba Buhari, Sai soldier (meaning ‘all hail President Buhari, all hail Nigeria soldiers).

A night with Nigeria’s Chief of Army in Gamboru

After a brief ceremony and statement from the army chief , everyone at the venue sang the Nigerian National Anthem in high pitch, as a soldier who was the last bearer of the flag after it went through the hierarchy of command from the army chief, hoisted the Green-White-Green flag. The villagers, chanting from across the river bank, provided a rhythmic melody to the national anthem. Even the generals shed tears as, once again, Nigeria’s territorial control and integrity was restored in the Gamboru area.

General Buratai’s words echoed from the loudspeaker over the desolated  town of Gamboru and into Fotokol as he delivered a brief speech at the flag hoisting ceremony.

“We are here today to observe this significant and symbolic ceremony of hoisting the Nigerian national flag,” he said.”If you could remember, this town of Gamboru was occupied by the Boko Haram terrorists for almost one year ago. The Chadian troops came to help recapture it but could not hold the town, so they later withdrew and the Boko Haram returned again.

“In line with my vision which is to have a professionally responsive Nigerian Army that is abreast of its constitutional roles, and one key underlying phrase in my mission is the constitutional role,  today, under my command, we are here to discharge and redeem our territorial integrity as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Today we are hoisting our flag and we will never allow any bunch of criminals in the name of Boko Haram to come and take an inch of our territory again.”
Mr. Buratai thanked soldiers who partook in the operations to recapture the town.

“I will like to commend officers and soldiers of the Operation Lafiya Dole, especially the officers and men of 7 Division and indeed the 7 Division Strike Group, who have proved to be resilient, dedicated and highly patriotic. Nigerians are proud of you, Nigerian Army is proud of you and indeed Mr. President is very proud of you.

“We have to maintain the momentum and from now on you must maintain an aggressive posture to constant patrols along this routes and all other routes into this area.”
More Work Needed

The Army Chief lamented the ability of the insurgents to still lay mines in territory in control of soldiers.

“The incident of mines being laid along the routes must be stopped! Troops are not here to come and sleep at night while Boko Haram bury mines on our roads.

“We still have a lot to do. The war is not over. The terrorists have changed their tactics from moving out from their camps to attack communities to now moving in pockets, planting IEDs via humans or vehicles.

“On our way to this place, we saw how some IEDs were uprooted from the road by our troops and unfortunately one of the mines got detonated and affected our vehicles, from which some soldiers got wounded.

A night with Nigeria’s Chief of Army in Gamboru

We once again, thank Mr. President for reposing his confidence in us to help deliver his mandate. We are making progress and definitely we would achieve that mandate within the time given by Mr President. On this note I have the singular honour and pleasure to present the Nigerian Flag to the Commander Operation Lafiya Dole for hoisting and never to come down again.

Shortly after the flag had been hoisted, Mr. Buratai moved across the bridge to address the Nigerian refugees down the bank of the river in Cameroon and spoke to them in the local language of the area – Kanuri.

The atmosphere went electric, as the people applauded every assuring word of Kanuri being uttered by the number one soldier.
Soldiers danced and exchanged pleasantries with their counterpart from Cameroon.

At night, the senior officers simply took their seats in one of the destroyed fuel filling stations that momentarily became the makeshift Army Headquarters and continued to interact with the gallant officers and men in the field.

At about 7:30 p.m., the army chief had a private chat with non-commissioned officers and soldiers for about two hours during which he personally took down the complaints and suggestions each soldier made.

The dark night was even more petrifying as some of the soldiers informed PREMIUM TIMES reporter that “there is 50/50 chance that we may be attacked by the Boko Haram because that is what they do every day. But we are ready for them; and that is if they will be bold enough to come here after how we dealt with them days back.”

Meals were cooked and two rams were slaughtered and barbecued for soldiers and journalists.  Then the army chief led other officers and soldiers to ignite a burn-fire that lit the bushy surroundings. Soldiers danced wildly as they sang at the top of their voices – chanting different lyrics that ridiculed the Boko Haram.

“They (Boko Haram) are hearing us even now that we are here singing”, said an excited Corporal.

The excitement was paused midway for the decoration of a gallant Major, Muhammed Abu Ali, to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Abu Ali, an officer in the Nigeria Armoured Corps, actively took part in leading most of the recent operations in the most dangerous Boko Haram camps. His colleagues described him as the panacea to Boko Haram when he drives his War Tank (T72). The Army spokesperson, Colonel Sani Usman, described him as “hero of our time”.

After the burn-fire, the celebration went on until a heavy rainfall began. There was no shelter for both officers and soldiers except the building of the filling station. Soldiers on sentry stood their grounds to ensure no Boko Haram crept nearby, while others took shelter in their vehicles.
Mr. Buratai and other officers like the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Yushau, the GOC 7 Division, Lamidi Adeosun; the Commander, Multi- National Joint Task Force, Major General Iliya Abba; a Cameroonian Colonel, Fonkon Djio Venerd Richard; and Chadian Lieutenant Colonel D’ Aviation, Mohammet Yahaya, continued to chat with journalists and some of the soldiers.

Sleep was an option many would rather not take. Some that tried sleeping only did so for about three hours before the officers asked everyone to board their vehicles at about 5:30 a.m. on Thursday for a return to Maiduguri, shortly after the morning prayers.

The Return

The 145km return journey that started at 6 a.m. from Gamboru ended 13 hours later. The convoy had to move at snail speed, about 12km per hour, as soldiers of the bomb detection unit, sniffed the route on foot ahead of the convoy.
At the destroyed Gamboru bridge bombed by Boko Haram in 2013, the convoy spent two hours manoeuvring the bridge.

There was apprehension during the remaining part of the journey after the bridge – through Dikwa, Logomani and Mafa – as soldiers had to charge their way through likely flash points for ambush.
Everyone arrived Maiduguri safely, except for the soldiers that suffered the blast from one of the land mines.

I guess you call this joke a military bravado. Most Nigerians are laughable. The dude covered any possible sniper window with trucks including armored trucks and troops wearing bullet jackets.

CSTR2:
Russia is not the most powerful country in the world militarily.
Even putin knows this.
You like russia doesn't mean you should lie to yourself.

You are right on the spot.

StOla:
And this Obasanjo eventually led the forces that got Ojukwu running to Abidjan while they conquered his Biafra. Same Obasanjo would become military head of state and democratic president, 2 great heights this same Ojukwu aspired to but fell short true to stature.

Where are most Nigerians always at the wrong end of intellectual exercise? The forces that got Ojukwu running, if it will make you happy, was led by Gen. Yakubu Gowon. It is only in a zoo such as Nigeria that ninnies such as Obasanjo or Buhari would become military head of state and democratic president.

StOla:
Whose certificate have you also seen if I may ask? Did you see Obasanjo's own or is nepotism nothern while merit is southern?

Did Buhari not already admit that his certificate had been destroyed during the course of his military career and sworn an affidavit stating so and referring to those copies duly submitted to the army as evidence of academic qualification?

Did the electoral umpire have any issues with this affidavit?

Did the army deny he did not have results tendered before entry into the army? Or whose responsibility is it to safely keep documents tendered by the admitted students?

Did his school not release a statement of result that tallied with what the army had in their own entry admission documents?

Did the school not also release the Cambridge master sheet with the same results already publicised by the army?

Did the Cambridge master sheet not contain results of other known and acknowledged classmates as truly scored by each candidate?

Did the other names of the classmates not buttress the widely circulated class picture of Buhari and his mates in their graduating year?

Did all the false stories about the North not offering local languages as a subject in that year not get shredded by the replies of Cambridge to queries on that subject matter?

At least, Obasanjo got to the British West Africa Military Academy in Teshie, Ghana were he was flunked not ones but twice by one Captain Chukwuemeka Ojukwu and he was weeded away from proceeding to RMA, Sandhust, UK.

ChukuAbiama:
Jobless Igbo bastard

No work so u spend all your time sucking Yoruba di.ck everywhere

When will u do investigation on Segunadewole and Olatundesalam, two Igbos like you claiming to be Yorubas

Chukwu Abiama has cursed ur life

Per the bolded, it takes one Jobless Yari.ba bastard to recognize another. You moronic loony is the one to be investigated since your current idiotic moniker is only 14 days old. What a dumbass dunce.

abduljabbar4:
Kill yourself id!ot!! You are a waste of 9 months

I guess it takes all of the above to recognize another. Besides you come across as a typical Nigerian that is completely empty in the area above the shoulder. You should do your moronic self a serious good by stinking off my post.
