Haters will not stop masturbating, posturing, and losing sleepless nights over this lady even after the wickedly EFCC found nothing to hold on to in their pursuit of her.

With police, army, and customs suppression, and don't mention the neglect of federal roads and infrastructure, why would anyone expect foreign investment in SE!

Sounds like dictator Abacha already.
Buhari depended on UK, US, and EU to come to power, but now he has no need to listen to them?

Every Nigerian, except:
Dasuki
Sowore
El Zaky
Dan ladi
....the list is too long.

Unfortunately for you, the man is not even Hausa Fulani.

Tribalism and bigotry miss road.

You know nothing about Nigeria, but you know a lot about tribalism and bigotry.

Oh, let me guess. He's from Buhari native country of Niger republic!

Any northern Muslim is better than even better qualified southerners. Go ahead and defend it!

Until all the Hausa Fulani people are all fully employed by this Buhari administration, other groups just have to be patient.

Yesterday a South African won miss Universe.
This year they won a bid to host Netball world cup.
This year they won rugby world cup trophy.
They are building Africa 's tallest building - leonardo tower.
They build Sandton from scratch after they won democracy.
They built world's larger coal fired power station last year (medupi and kusile)
They built africa's first bullet train - gautrain.
they hosted soccer world cup.
they hosted cricket world cup
they hosted rugby world cup.
they built largert telescope in the world - meerkat
South africa govt official are not going outside the country for medical purposes

Nigeria has great plans but they fail to execute, for example eko atlantic city

No Fulani hold on SA.

So called northern illiteracy is by design, and a fiction from a realistic view point.

Anambra has no billionaire. Stop using billionaire as cheap word.

We have only four Billionaires in Nigeria
1. Aliko Dangote
2. Mike Adenuga
3. Folorunsho Alakija
4. Ishaku Rabiu

Any other billionaire is fake

These are billionaires thanks to government patronage! Everyone of them.

Well you should stop racing against time and stop confusing yourself.

@the first bolded, The video circulating shouting people carrying placards with Tinubu’s mom name was when Awolowo first appeared on the street of Lagos (after coming out of prison) on his way to the national conference convened by Gowon. She never said she had a hand in releasing him and all major groups in Yorubaland welcome Awolowo with several banners. Stop trying to use false narratives to back your opinion.

@the second bolded, I’ve been telling you and your kinsmen to provide me just one evidence that give credence to your fact. None of you provided any evidence and I’m but ashamed of the whole Igbo race. What is the usefulness of your education if none of you can provide just one evidence to support your argument. So shameful!

@the third bolded, calabar prison was a federal prison bro, do you even know Ironsi already made some promise to release Awolowo before his demise? Although the Yoruba bloc later learnt to know that he’s just playing politics with it. Gowon not only released Awolowo but other prominent AG party prisoners like Adekunle Ajasin, Anthony Enahoro, etc.

@the fourth bolded, stop confusing yourself, there is no mention of Ikoyi prison in any of the article, where are you seeing Ikoyi prison?? From the evidence above you can see that it was states that Awo was flown from calabar prison in a helicopter and Gowon received him at his office. So where do you see Ikoyi prison that you keep mentioning? Is everything okay?

@your last statement, yes fake news exists and the empire of fake news is Biafra republic. Ojukwu was a propagandist up to his death while Nnamdi Kanu has a doctorate in fake news coz we all still remeber his Buhari is Jubril news.

See the pics attached below. You can see that it was stated that Awolowo was flown from calabar prison to meet with Gowon at Doran barracks where they shook hand. That was exactly the video I uploaded in the former thread.

If you're going to earn your keep from the Tinubu establishment in pushing this false narrative, it behooves you to prove :
1. Calabar prison, and maybe Calabar city was under the Gowon federal government July end, and early August 1966.
2. That there was a federal Activity, namely, military, espionage, etc that might have freed Awo without resistance from the controlling Biafran regime.
3. That Gowon freed other federal prisoners held in the east like Nzeogwu and some of his co plotters.

You can't confuse people much longer with your infantile postulations devoid of basic reasoning: even if you are paid to lay the political foundation for Tinubu and his mom to claim important roles in the release and reception of Awolowo.

Either you work harder or they'll replace you with someone with bigger gray matter!

LegendHero:
Lol I don laugh tire for this your statement. You have more bigger talent ahead of you as a comedian and you will excel by making use Igbo language as your comedy language.

@the first bolded, if you’re not visually impaired, you will see from the guardian paper I attached where they said he was flown (helicopter) from calabar prison to Lagos. Go back to the evidence I provided to see that and come back here to apologize.

@the second bolded, do you mean after Ojukwu released him in late July, Awo started trekking from calabar and eventually reached Lagos in August 3rd to do a photo op with Gowon?

@the third bolded, have you read Awolowo book called “Awo on the Nigerian civil war”? The image is attached below.

You deserve to be tied to a tree and flogged to reformat your thinking. Even nnamdi Kanu will envy you coz your own case overshadows his comedy rhetorics.

Definitely not going to stoop down to trade childish bs with you, because like many people, I used to wonder why the fervent pitch to misinform reality until I started seeing another thread that showed Ms Tinubu, yes the mother of Tinubu himself was being hailed as one of the people who organized Awolowo release and welcome with the young Tinubu assisting!! How nice will it sound for the Jagaband himself to stand on a podium to narrate how he released Awo, even as a child

Then it all made sense. I can't argue facts with a person paid to argue with me, remember who said that?

Ojukwu mistake was not putting a big tattoo of Biafra on Awolowo face, so that people like you would have not need to argue blindly.

That's why despite being your fulltime 24/7 job, you have not been able to convince anyone with facts, except images made after the fact!

If you are unable to prove that Calabar was not under Ojukwu control, and that Ojukwu ran the prison where Awo was being held, and that there was no documented forcible federal activity to release Awo, then you are definitely fixated on your predetermined conclusion.

Have you even wondered why Gowon took the extraordinary photo op to show Ikoyi prison? Awo was not released from Ikoyi. It showed the reason why there were numerous publications falsely claiming that Gowon had released Awo.

Too bad, you are daft to even assume that average reasoning Nigerans will not know the sequence of events. Fake news did not start with Trump you know!

Yes, the victor gets to write the war history, but not the facts.

Oh, now I understand why the renewed interest on who freed Awo from Calabar prison?

Tinubu, via his mother wants to take credit too

Gowon who freed the man from"Ikoyi prison " will not be happy!
After so much press, videos, and false editorials, Tinubu mama, the real person who freed Awo from jail has finally emerged!!!!

Fayose for president!

Nigerian police was designed for the 1940s, today it's designed to be ineffective and super corrupt.
Today, it's an instrument of enriching the ruling Fulanis.

dboss12:
A practical Christian, a man of God,
YAKUBU GOWON, a Nigerian saviour.

Gowon emerged a minute to time,
To save Nigeria from disintegration,
He cleared the mist of uncertainty,
And established hope to the waiting nation.

He proved his valour beyond doubt,
He showed kindness without delay
He showed kindness to everyone,
Political prisoners were released to go.
Awo and Eyo were promptly released.
Enahoro and others were free again,
Nigerian citizens received the news,
With jubilation everywhere.

Gowon dug into nation task,
He promised to keep Nigeria one,
He appealed to the nation for full support,
He prayed all to forget the past,
And come together for our country's sake.

Other tribes in the federation,
Gave the appeal an immediate support,
but lbo tribe did not cooperate,
because the leader was not lboman.
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,
The then Military Governor of Eastern Region,
Took the lead for lbo people,
Proved his wisdom beyond bounds,
He did his best to cause confusion,
To disintegrate the Federal Nigeria.

Mr. Gowon, go write your own book about the war, and stop coming to speak anonymously.
Are you still a coward, even to write a book about your shameful history?

Benefits of sharia as seen from the north:

1. Better education? NO
2. Better security? NO
3. Better economy? NO
4. Better peace and harmony? NO

Someone please, please list what the backwards north has gained from sharia over the past 10 years. Thanks.

Whatever makes a sick people with kidney failure go to the church instead of the hospital is the main reason why we are backwards.

voltron14:
Did Onyeama and his cohorts fake documents and signature?

Is that considered fraud or should he get a by because he's Igbo, Nigerian or black?

Nobody is saying he should get by because he is Igbo, however, unlike your zoo, people actually have to be proven guilty despite the charges against them.

Don't celebrate too soon my friend, IRS law suits is a rite of passage for many businesses people in America, its not a big deal, that's why they call it white collar crime!

OruExpress:
1. He's not white.
2. You don't even know his race, so you can't explain what he's saying? You can't explain how he looks, how can you explain what he's thinking?
3. I'm telling you exactly what he's thinking. I live in the US.
4. I agree that tribalistic people are going to take advantage, but Onyema is competing at a global level and likely doesn't read Nairaland and Twitter.

Just like how you say, " I live in US"
Did you just come yesterday?

jayfolarin:
Nigerians always ready to suck the white man's dick and discard their own without much thought.

Whatever air peace chairman has done is nothing compared to what billionaires do to game the US financial system on the daily. How many Wall Street bankers went to jail despite putting the whole world through recession in 2008?

You have a CEO of an indigenous airline that could become a huge competition to foreign airlines that have been making bulk off our skies and suddenly he becomes the target of some money laundering investigation?? USE YOUR BRAINS

I will make an educated guess and say the next target of investigation is Nigeria's first auto maker, Innosun

You said it all.
Unfortunately for those rejoicing, they fail to understand the import.
Regular and reasonable airfare to Lagos on a competitive field doesn't benefit the Igbos alone!

OruExpress:
He is mocking the company for footing a 1 billion dollar order? Air France, KLM and co make well over 1 billion dollars from Nigerians every year...why wouldn't an airline in that same Nigeria be able to foot a 1 billion dollar bill?

And you are 100% wrong on the 'preliminary class' statement, Nigerians are the most well educated minority in the US and every 'advanced class' is full of Nigerians, Kenyans, Ghanians, Ethiopians and Cameroonians. Everyone knows this. I think you just want to give the man credit because you think he's white (even though he's not, and that's how I know you have never left Nigeria) and you automatically feel inferior because of your strange choice to have low value and self esteem in life.. The race this man belongs too, has the lowest rates of literacy, education and graduation in the country.


Data show Nigerians the most educated in the U.S.
BACHELOR'S AND BEYOND


https://www.chron.com/news/article/Data-show-Nigerians-the-most-educated-in-the-U-S-1600808.php

A lot of confusion and sad misunderstanding!
I am not supporting the silly white man and his comments. I was trying to explain from a broader perspective, where he might be coming from.

And, I pointed out that his comments might be a vent for some tribalistic people to take advantage of the situation.

I thought you were out to take a cheap advantage of an ignorant white man comment to attack fellow Nigerians.

That's why the federal government needs to see stand up for their citizens for once

hammerD:
This paper is Tinubu war head.

This and TVC.

The paper is also INEC official press publication.

They know who won election before Inec.

The whole silly oil orchestration now makes sense!

That's why Tinubu stooge, Mr. Igbokwe said Air Peace refused to board him last week!!

OruExpress:
I think you understand, but in case you don't, his sarcasm says 'how can an african I don't know buy 1 billion dollars worth of planes'.

It sounds very benign, or even a joke, but if you have been in an advanced class in the US, and a white man asked you how come you are in that class, because he doesn't know any African who have ever passed the preliminary class, you probably won't consider it funny after all!

While he may be genuinely shocked that an African airline has $1B order, because of his ignorance, he may also be mocking the company at the same time.

However, for short sighted and tribalistic Nigerians, the white man comments will be the opening they seek to put another tribe down, and eventually their own country.

SalamRushdie:
Boeing owns 80% of Embrear commercial jets not 20 please get your facts right .. and I never said the US owned Embrear military but the whole design and patent of the Tucano belongs to the US and Embrear is only building them under some arrangement the same way the Americans allow Agusta Westland to build export version of the AH 64 Apache Helicopter..

Don't lose focus of the topic under discussion.
80 % of Embraer commercial jet division is not the same as 80% of Embraer, because Embraer has so many other divisions.

The focus is that Air Peace is buying more of a Brazilian plane ( even if it's partly owned by Boeing), not a 100% USA plane like Boeing. If you agree on that, then we can understand how some people might suspect that the whole incident may be directly or indirectly related to the court case.

SalamRushdie:
80% and most of the tech Embrear deploys is American , don't be surprised the entire revenue is paid into the US economy .. remember when Buhari paid for 12 Embrear super Tucanos he signed and paid for them at the white house ..

Boeing paid for about 20% of Embraer, because deal with Canada didn't go through. Note Embrear has other divisions like fighters and helicopters.

White House approval of Tucano sale to Nigeria was because of exclusivity contract between Brazil and USA, not because it was oil owned by USA.

Sales revenue went to Brazil, probably into Embrear account, even if it is partially owned by Boeing.

OruExpress:
because 'a white man' has never heard of a Nigerian airline, the OP thinks this observation is worthy of a thread.

Nigerians and slavery.

Do you have difficulty understanding the sarcastic tone of the white man?

SalamRushdie:
The same Embrear Commercial Jet where he ordered the ERJ 195 is owned by Boeing so this holds no water

How much of Embrear does Boeing own?
Where will the direct foreign revenue to after buying Embrear, Brazil or US?

Nigerian government doesn't see any economic interest in Air Peace, probably for religious or tribal reasons, otherwise why the silence on a company that employs more than 40k Nigerians.

They don't understand what it means to provide a fertile business environment, and I don't mean a corrupt environment.

Any company growing and pushing for international market share like Air Peace need the backing of the federal government 100%.

Eteka1:
So its the FBI and the DoJ that is now envious of Air Peace? Na wa for you o!

Even when Air Peace eventually buys more planes to grow its fleet to 50 it still won't be the largest airline in Africa. Ethiopian Airlines has 117 planes, Egypt Air has almost 60.

He said one of the largest in Africa, and the largest in West Africa.
Read it again.

Coal is history.
Why should it be what Buhari cares about in Enugu.
International airport please!
