Lies. No Nigeria president will ever restore subsidy

Ndi saner cline.

Make you come see saner US

FSBoperator:
Awo didn't say that.

Awo was referring to the excesses of northern troops harassing Ibo civilians in Western Nigeria especially in places like Ibadan and Lagos and told Gowon that the entire Western region now appeared to have been occupied by the north and stated that the excesses of northern soldiers was triggering and promoting Ojukwu to secede and that the Western region will not tolerate a continuation of northern excesses in the Western region and will consider declaring independence if Gowon does not reign in northern troops.

This was however when Yorubas in general were still sympathic to Ibos following the pogroms up north and were challenging northern troops whenever they were harassing Ibo civilians in the western region.

Yorubas said they won't tolerate northerners harassing Ibos in the western region.

But all that changed when Ojukwu demanded all non Ibos leave Eastern Nigeria including Midwestern non Ibo people and Yorubas alike.

But the major incident that led to a 180 diagrammatic shift among Yoruba populace towards being sympathetic to the Ibos residing in western region was when news broke out of the then Ibo VC of the University of Ibadan paying 6months salary in advance to all Ibo staff of the university without any approval from the University board. After paying themselves 6 months salary in advance , all Ibo staff that got employed by Zik's chronic nepotism fled to the East. The university was left insolvent by this very act which was seen as a big betrayal by the non Ibo staff and students alike.

Then the incidence that led to the Military Governor of Western region reciprocating Ojukwu's expulsion decree came after an Ibo man was caught with a truck load of dynamite at the gate of the university.

The Ibo man on interrogation said he wanted to revenge against the sacking of Ibos from the university by blowing it up.

The Ibo VC and lecturers had been spreading lies to justify their theft of Ibadan university funds to fund their return back to the East by claiming the university had sacked them. This lie had taken root not only in the Ibo community in Ibadan but even back in Eastern Nigeria.

As I said , this lie was concoted by the Ibo VC and lecturers to claim the money they paid themselves from the university accounts was their severance package.

Most of them however foolishly converted their stolen loot to Biafran pounds which will become more worthless than the paper used to print it.

So know now that Awolowo made that statement to Gowon over hoe northern troops were harassing Ibos in the western region and was to tell Gowon that it was one of the things Ojukwu was using to persuade his people to key into seccesion and return back home.

Awo then stated that the western region will not remain a vassal of the north if this happens and will ensure western Nigeria leaves the union to avoid being a northern vassal.

Thanks for the insight.

This your explanation make sense.

That is why I laugh when some Igbos say they had millions in their account before they left for the east only for awo to give them on 20 pound.

Most of them withdraw their monies from the bank and gave to Ojukwu to convert it to Biafra money.

NaijaHelper1:
You're the one distorting facts. Awolowos commitments was made in the presence of other members of the team who confirmed same in independent reports. The public declaration was the outcome of private talks which was not contested. What are you on about?
Well we'll remind you of this when the time comes. Better bookmark it. Good thing your usual bed partners are ravaging your lands and ravishing your lands and your women. Karma is a bitch ain't it?

Ojukwu must be very stopid and f00lish to believe that awo without any military battalion can break the south west out of Nigeria.

What awo said was for Gowon. He said that if the federal government allow the south east to successfully breakout of Nigeria, then south west too will break out

NaijaHelper1:
The war to your doorstep was an offense to play defense strategy. Nobody had the permanent intention to take your land or whatever you're insinuating. It was intended as a route to get to the capital. No way we could get to the capital without crossing the west. The West could have declared neutrality if their intentions were good for the Igbos offering safe passage.

Bros just calm down, you don't know much abt what really happedurof the war

Did you see the letter Ojukwu wrote t l banjo about the invasion of the south west

Banjo was the war lord that was supposed to capture the south west.

Banjo is from southwest but he was fighting other side of Biafra.

Ojukwu actually wanted tb annex south west and that was one of the major reasons he lost the war.

Don't believe what I just said, try to do your own independent research.

Kingpele:
They should rejoice because no terrorists or bandits will attack them again

But a 12 years old sad boy can wake up one morning and shoot them all up.

Abeg, wetin be the difference?

AWONEYAN:
Let even the whole of Aso rock come to Osun.

Adeleke is winning

He go hard o.
The election can go any way.

happney65:
I just shock my head when I saw it. I wasn't surprised because no be today. Them plenty here for nairaland too

Up till date,it is abuses from that gets them triggered . You see them throwing their fists in the air and shouting "obi supporters are this and that' wait till when someone from the North abuses them,they go to hide inside a hole and do as if they no see am.

Very timid set of people.

Timid set of people, yet they did not allow your father to vote in Lagos during the last election.

I saw port Harcourt, onne, warri and Calabar port.

I thought some people from a particular region said it's only Lagos port that is functional.

Svoboda:
Nobody is talking about subsidy here. There was subsidy when Dangote obtained license and began construction. The original Nigerian govt idea was to increase local capacity while subsidy is withdrawn. Even at that, one may ask what subsidy has even got to do with local refining when some countries with enough refining capacity still subsidize fuel for their respective populations.

I insist that Buhari takes the sole credit. The licensing, construction, and commissioning happened under him, even to the point that it was alleged that emefiele sold cheap dollars to dangote. Tinubu could have tried to sabotage, after all, we all heard of the Malta blending controversy when Dangote was content creating over a lack of crude supply and fighting off rumours that his products burnt faster than the imported variant, until the govt ostensibly yielded to pressure.

Yes, the president has enormous powers, no doubt, but there are blowbacks to major actions.

We all saw him fold when he ordered the refreezing of the Osun state account.

Person whey no fold when he removed subsidy. Something a whole mighty Buhari was afraid of doing.

That Tinubu whey you dey see get mind die. If he wan wicked Nigerian, he will and nothing will happen.

I don't think the feeding of 5000 people and feeding of 4000 people is a different story.

I think it's another person's view of the same story.

And who counted the people? How come they were round figure of 5000? Why not 4996 or 5003? This shows that that figure of 4000 or 5000 was an exaggeration. Yes people were plenty that were fed but nobody knows the actual number hence the 4000 and 5000 story.

Tithe is like tax in the Jewish culture. Tithing is like paying tax to the government. Then, the church was the government.

It is not right to force Nigerians to pay tithe in church after they have paid Tinubu tax already.

Voluntary donations is good cos the church needs money to run her operations but blackmailing people to paying tithe is the sin in itself.

Telling people that they will go to hell if they don't pay tithe is twisting the word of God and I see it as a very terrible sin.

I went to one RCCG church some years back, the first banner I saw in the church reads thus'

"Have you paid you tithe this month? Do you know that things will be tighter for you if you don't pay your tithe?"

This is pure blackmail.

AMINDA:
Thanks for confirming that it is the president who instructed EFCC to cease the case on Okowa, Obasa and Yahaya Bello. He is also the one using the ICPC to persecute Elrufai. It will go round.

Why you dey do like small pikin?

You no know all these things before?

Very good. Let us even try something different.

Meanwhile, Regional government is the goal.

I don't know why Nigerian are not clamouring and pushing for regional government, it seems some people don't want this regional government.

I hear the north are having cold feet about this, not knowing that this federal system of government is really inhibiting the full potential of the north. If the right things are put in place, th le north cam feed the whole of west Africa. The north have enough food crop to earn billions of dollars for them.

I hear that south east are scared too. They have everything to be sacred of cos that their side is not too productive. But they have aba business hub, Nnewi spare part hub. I hear they have plenty gas and they also have small crude oil. Every region wld eventually find their feet and be good.

Because its actually not easy.

Put head, bodi go tell you.

Slippy:
Lol it's a money laundering operation

Chagoury got paid for mobilizing Northern elites for Tinubu's election victory

Lol.

Is Chagoury a northern?

PDPdestroyer:
No, for now. But should Obi lose in 2027, Kanu will become greater than Obi once again

Obi will definitely lose in 2027.

Warldbest:
Mazi Nnamdi KANU is a good man. The greatest Igbo man alive. Time shall tell

Is kanu greater than Peter obi?

LagosOrigin:
Many prominent Yoruba people don't like tinubu and they also see him as a failure and highly corrupt man with zero conscience

And yet you come here to insult the whole Yoruba race every day.

Kudos to the forest guard.

I like this APC governor in Enugu state.

The man is really trying.

Kalulu44:
If him like let him stay there till the kingdom come. If we can survive Abacha and Buhari, we will survive him too. But just know that he can't escape death when it comes knocking

He will conduct election in 2031 and a northerner will become the president after his 8 yrs.

But for now he is you president and the president of Peter obi, the president of your father, the president of nnadi kanu and the president of your whole generation till 2031.

It's the truth, I might be saying it in an arrogant way (just to pepper you and your generation) but that doesn't void what I am saying.

Have you seen anyone that escaped death. Even your father can't escape death too.

Penguin2:
Don’t forget to add that Tinubu and Umahi abandoned that road and was building Coastal Road to nowhere.

It had to take Peter Obi taking pictures on the damaged portion of the road before they could act.

Are you Igbo?

Semaj77:
Although I don't support your tribalistic and hedonistic tone but it is what will still happen

How is it tribalist when it is what it is?

Please make it make sense.

Mitsurugi:
Breakthrough via corruption of course. Was it on merit?

Not everyone is into drugs o.

I started my logistics business two years ago and all my suffering in 12 years ended in less than 1 year.

Look for a service people need and profefer a solution to it and you wld make money.

Nigeria had the population for you to trive in business you just need to think outta the box

If I tell you what my logistics business is about, you wld marvel how just thinking outta the box can rake in good income for you.

I didn't even need much capital, just money to set up my what's app customer service.

expert234:
Lolz
You support anything because of tribalism

Please who should I support if not Tinubu?

Who?

Obi or Atiku

SeeWahala:
OMG!

See your dàtá b0i profile

If suffer no dey taya you, bros abeg ask your sister oo

I don't know why you lots thinks everyone is suffering like your folks.

In this Nigeria, there are several people that have made their breakthrough in this Tinubu regime.

If you and your family are suffering, then it means you are not intelligent enough to know how to make money.

SeeWahala:
We go drag this tilumbu trousers put for ground before campaign season even begin self

Make Una drag am well well o.

But he will still be your president till 2031.

He will keep making policies (positive or negative) that will affect your generations yet unborn.

He will be the one to decide if the VP in 2031 will come to your region or not.

And lastly, he will be the one to either release Nnamdi kanu or kpai him in Sokoto.
