U think say everybody dey like dino,fayose wey go travel go china to full himsef, wasting ekiti money! She doesn't need to travel to usa just to prove a point. She's first lady of a country for cris sake.

FYI, Aishaliburton Buhari is "officially" not the first lady of the country. She is "officially" a mere wife of the dullard of Daura President of niGERia (The Zoo). Pls take note of that and thank me later

If the name of the African Hitler Muhammadu Buhari (AHMB) is NOT on that list then it confirmes what event watchers have being saying about the dullard of Daura. However, the report may not be allowed to see the light of the day courtesy of the African Hitler.

Imagine this lost soul using the struggle by IPOB for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra to make comparsion of how we will hate ourselves if Biafra is restored because of an entirely niGERia and Igbo political issues?. If you don't know the ideology guiding Biafra then you had better shut up than making clueless and kindergarten comparsions? Btw, what do you intend to achieve with this article? To get the attention of Peter Obi to be rogered? Or what exactly?

Complete jargon. So disappointed I spent my precious time reading his disjointed and senseless quip. Disgusting!

NO! Aishaliburton Buhari is "officially" not the 1st lady. She is just a mere wife of the her dullard of Daura husband A.K.A African Hitler Muhammadu Buhari (AHMB) So next time try and get your facts right before exposing your ignorance in public. Thanks in advance for heeding his advice. Then thank me later.

The Biafran ghost
by Sam Omatseye,
Like Banquo’s ghost, the past haunts us today, again. Forty nine years after the civil war, we are still fighting the war. Some think the war is over. They are wrong. The war is with us because we are a nation of self-deceit. We lie to and at ourselves. We say peace whereas tribulation lurks and detonates everywhere.
That is why Boko Haram harangues us in the North. It explains the resurgence of the IPOB and MASSOB and the rumblings of the Niger Delta Avengers and the barbarous entitlement of herdsmen. Even before the past few years, when bombs were literally quiet, tongues exploded between tribes. Rhetoric rattled rhetoric. Tribes and tongues differed by saying tribes and tongues differed. The June 12 excitement was a rebirth of the divisions of the 1960’s.
We did not solve the problem when it confronted us. When Gowon exploited his name as an acronym of unity, GO ON WITH ONE NIGERIA turned out to be an empty epithet, a feel-good delusion from a victor. Nothing concrete was resolved other than fell the enemy in battle.
Did we resolve the issue of abandoned properties? Leading up to the war, pogrom lit up the North in incandescent murders. Not only Igbo were killed as many tendentious literature say. Even Adichie’s Half Of The Yellow Sun, for all its strengths, portrayed the single story that the author has campaigned against. The slaughter up North targeted anyone who was not Yoruba, and that included the sweep of minorities in the today’s Niger Delta. Urhobo, Itsekiri, Edo, Efik, Ogoni, etc were mincemeat in the cauldron of death.
Now, did we have any enquiries into that sanguinary chapter? The northern elite, including political, feudal and military leaders, reportedly encouraged the barbarities. Has anyone been punished or even been officially reprimanded? We have not even officially investigated. We know too that Nzeogwu’s coup was seen as tendentious, and it inspired some Igbo to provoke northerners with their proprietary swagger, boasting that they had taken over the country. Have we looked at that, too? If the swagger was bad, the killings were never justified. But even at that, have we addressed them as a people? Ironsi enacted Decree 34, and some analysts said it was naïve because he did not intend to introduce a unitary system to impose Igbo hegemony. If that act was naïve, what of the second act? He did not want to try the coup plotters. That, according to critics, gave him away as an Igbo jingoist.
Have we revisited the Aburi meeting, and its aftermath, and how that confab either ossified or laid bare the fissures of our inter-ethnic relations? Were there blames? Where there acts of overreach on both sides? Was the war avoidable? Did the pogrom make war inevitable? How come a region that knew it was tactically and materially inferior to its opponent take the plunge into war?
So, we also had the war atrocities. We saw what Ojukwu’s army did in the Midwest when Biafra invaded, and the resentment overshadows conversation up till today. We know of the killings of the Igbo in Asaba and how Murtala’s Second Division teased out trusting locals to welcome them and killed them like animals. Gowon, who could not rein in his generals, only had an apology over 40 years after. The apology, however heartfelt, never brought closure.
So, when hostilities ended, Gowon declared that there was no victor and no vanquished. We know that was as vacuous as GOWON. We just wanted to move on, like a child who walks into a party from a bathroom without cleaning up. The smell and mess linger.
The ghost has followed us ever since. In education, over whether we should have catchment areas or not. In the Orkar coup. In Saro Wiwa’s murder. In the Matatsine imbroglio. In the meltdown of Fulani and indigenes relations in the plateau. In the June 12 logjam. In the choice of Jonathan as president. In the choice of Buhari as counter president. The list is endless.
So, when many, including the self-serving Atiku, called for restructuring, it was because the civil war and ghosts of the many dead are still with us, walking the Nigeria earth, apologies to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Developed nations understand the merits of closure. Last week, Britain unveiled the Chilcot report and picked to pieces all the facts of that ignoble chapter of the Iraq War. Tony Blair was exposed, as well as some of the intelligence community and the parliament. The nation looked itself in the mirror, and mea culpa replaced a sense of righteousness.
On the Iraq war, the New York Times issued a lengthy apology for allowing the emotion of the day sway its professional duties. Next time, both England and United States will think deeper before throwing innocents at the teeth of battle. The crisis of the Balkans is still lapping up its culprits today. Enquiries have dredged up the bad guys and they are subjected to the rule of law. The Hutus and Tutsis have also had theirs and those who inflamed the land to butchery have been exposed and punished. Apartheid in South Africa had its Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Second World War could not be concluded without a clear resolution through the Nuremberg trials. The First World War was concluded without such an enquiry. The victors simply punished Germany and isolated it. The result: a resurgent Germany with the Hitler of hate.
A people must always learn not to take its injustice for granted. During the Peloponnesian War, Athens fell because it merely slaughtered its best generals who did not pick up its dead at sea as was the custom. The parliament did not reason. The absence of its best brood of soldiers allowed Sparta to crush it.
So, when Buhari stands accused as nepotist and regionalist in his appointments, it is because he has not transcended the hubris of the civil war. He invokes GOWON but he denies it when his pen signs an appointment. When does a chief of staff to a president become a board member of Nigeria’s choicest corporation? How do we call a truce with the Avengers when the NNPC board is lopsided and has only one name from the oil producing areas?
The civil war haunts because the hostilities have never really ended. Unnerved on his throne, Macbeth could not exorcise Banquo’s ghost. He said, “Avaunt and quit my sight. Let the earth hide thee, thy bone is marrowless and thy blood is cold.”
The Biafran ghost still spills cold blood. We may deny it and say our nation is not negotiable, but the past keeps growling and badgering. The more we claim we are together, the more apart we get.

Majority of those agitating for the Biafra are those who dont even know what the Biafra entails...

Igbos who are thinking an ijaw, ukwani, uhrobo, itshekiri, ilaje man will join their struggle are just daydreamers.

The Biafra nation to me is as impossible as man living in the mecury.

I pity the Biafra agitators. Even if you are successful at it..... What lies beaneath your struggle is very enormous.

Ranging from Language barrier to differences in culture and traditions to the fact of who will lead.... You should all think about this.

Biafrexit seems to be the topic on every lip?

BIAFREXIT?
By Obi Nwakanma

Sam Omatseye’s piece in the Nation, “The Ghost of Biafra,” this past week adds to the growing discussion on the inevitable impact of the new secessionist movement in important ways. The kernel of that column is that Nigeria as a nation runs in vain from its obligation to effect closure on the Biafran experience. Omatseye, of course skirts certain issues, and fudges a few, including the important question he raises: “how could a people knowing that they did not have the arms still plunge to war against an overwhelming armed opponent?”


Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, at St Peter’s Square Rome, during their visit to Pope Francis at theVatican.File photo
In other words, why did the leaders of the East fight, when they knew they were outgunned? The simple answer is that (a) The East fought to survive. They did not levy war against Nigeria. War was levied on the East when the federal side reneged on the terms of peace arrived at in Aburi.

The Federal Government initiated the war on July 6, 1967, by opening two fronts from the North: the Nsukka front and the Gakem front. Ojukwu evacuated Enugu, and responded with a  defensive strategy; (b) as a means of easing the pressure of attack from the North, Biafra’s Liberation Army led by Brigadier Victor Banjo and Colonel Emma Ifeajuna as his Chief of Staff opened the Midwest corridor to foreclose the attack formation already planned from Jebba by the Federal forces, through the Midwest using the Military Division already established for that purpose led by Murtala Muhammed, circumventing Benin through Auchi, moving through Agbor to the East.

The movement of the Biafran forces on August 9, into the Midwest, ruptured that plan. The Liberation Army would have arrived Ibadan and secured Lagos, and the tides of the war would have been dramatically turned, but for the extraordinary meeting between Banjo, Ifeajuna, and Mr. Bell, the Deputy British High Commissioner in Benin City as the Biafrans moved in a claw formation from Warri through Benin and through Auchi towards the West. Banjo’s dilemma, regarding the threat to bomb Lagos from the sea by the British frigate and turn the West into a theatre of war, and the threat to wipe out Banjo’s family still in Lagos left him with very little choices, other than to stymie the Liberation Army in the Midwest, order a haphazard withdrawal, and the rest is now history. As a matter of fact, one of the key actors in that event, the playwright and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, already waiting in Ibadan with a “reception party,” has written about this in two of his very important memoirs, The Man Died and You Must Set Forth at Dawn.

But Nigerians hardly read these days, except for religious tracts. But Omatseye is right: War is a messy business. The after effects linger and take doggone time and supreme effort to heal. Nigeria has not healed from the last major war. It is that war that is the ghost that haunts Nigeria. That war is also the spectre rearing up today in the self-determination movements that are now challenging the basis of Nigerian nationhood. The IPOB/MASSOB and the Niger Delta Avengers are now raising the question of a “Biafraexit” – the call for a referendum on Biafra to constitutionally determine whether Biafra should be allowed to exit Nigeria as a separate nation.

The Separatist movement has been gathering momentum since 1999, and has been recently fueled by President Buhari’s adversarial, isolationist, discriminatory and conquistadorial domestic policies. It does now seem that the greatest threat to the continued survival of Nigeria is the president of Nigeria himself who seems bent on pursuing a narrow revanchist agenda, as well as the use of coercion to stop the secessionist movement which has grown as a counter force to his revanchism. Recently, the president declared that Nigeria’s “unity” was “not negotiable.” Happily many people, including Wole Soyinka, have told him that Nigerian unity is in fact negotiable. The president of course is not talking about real “unity.” He is talking about the unity which the late Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu once described as like the relationship between Jonah and the Belly of the whale.

Unity cannot be legislated. Unity is the product of a felt sense of shared destiny and values. And this is the point that the Biafran secessionists are making. I’d like to say this: every Nigerian must support the right of the Biafrans to seek self-determination through the plebiscitory process. The Biafrans must have their referendum, as permitted in International Law, on the question of “Biafrexit.” In 1964, the founding father of the modern Nigerian nation, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, wrote in the US Foreign Policy magazine, warning that though he preferred an organic nation, it might yet be better for the leaders of Nigeria to meet, and sit, and negotiate how “we will all go our separate ways peacefully” rather than push Nigeria, then lurching towards a bloodfest, to the ultimate evil of a civil war that would claim millions of Nigerian lives. Azikiwe was prescient in 1964, and I stand with the great Zik on this. It is important to settle this question of Biafra’s secession once and for all by peaceful means through a referendum. To that end, I think that those calling for secession should do the right thing: they should collect the required signatures and write the National Assembly to initiate the referendum, with a copy forwarded to the United Nations. Thereafter they should campaign for support. Here is what the Biafrans are arguing: they are arguing for a restructuring of Nigeria because Nigeria in its current formation is oppressive to their interest and survival; if Nigeria does not want to restructure constitutionally, they are arguing for peaceful exit through referendum. They are arguing that the federal government failed to meet its own obligation under the truce called “No Victor, No vanquished” by not fulfilling the promised three R’s in the old East, and by launching policies that have discriminated against, and isolated the East, especially the Igbo people, since the end of the war. They have argued that the Federal government has repeatedly failed to protect Igbo lives and property from the indiscriminate attack nation-wide, and therefore they no longer trust the government of Nigeria to secure their lives.

They have argued that as republican people, they have nothing in common, culturally, with the rest of Nigeria, and that they reserve the right to pursue their separate destiny, and redeem their society from underdevelopment and poverty using their talents and energy freed from the inherent draw-backs of a Nigeria with feudal and monarchical traditions and tendencies that squelches the Igbo spirit, and the spirit of their Biafran neighbors with long, cherished republican and democratic traditions. And they have also argued about the criminal exploitation and expropriation of resources from their oil rich region which has left the region very impoverished and ecologically devastated and they want the right of self-determination in order to have the power to restore the ecological balance of the delta. These are very powerful arguments, and I am quit.... http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/biafrexit/

SuperS1Panther:


I am not troubled in anyway, in as much as the people selected execute their responsibilities objectively.

Same way that their appointer has been executing this responsibilities objectively with this fulfillment of his 97%:5% dullardic motion?

SuperS1Panther:


let us stop all this northernization rhetoric and be objective for once.

How large is the north? The whole of Borno is almost the size of the entire Eastern Part of Nigeria.

how many ethnicities are in the north in comparison with the south?

If they are qualified to hold the position, abeg they should, as long as the appointment is objective.

So. Are you not troubled that sudeenly under the Dullard of Daura only body from the South is qualified again except those from his region -North.

#FREE Chidiebere Onwudiwe

DSS Under Buhari now involved in kidnapping of citizens? If they have anything against Chidiebere why not charge him to court? Why always giving these Biafrans an opportunity/platform to continued to be justified that niGERia is struly a Zoo? d

#FREE MAZI CHIDIEBERE ONWUDIWE OR CHARGE HIM TO COURT

That the present Nigerian government under the leadership of its president popularly known as the African Hitler Muhmmadu Buhari (AHMB) is guilty of acting in total disregard of the human rights of accused persons is no longer news. What seems to be unfathomable to most people is why the government takes pride in media trials of her accused persons rather than taking them to the law court to prove any charges against them.

The DSS (DESTAPO – DSS) in her continued penchant for media trial had on the 2nd of July, 2016 released a press statement titled ‘’DSS UNCOVERS PLOTS TO BOMB COMPUTER VILLAGE LAGOS, WORSHIP CENTRES, PARKS’’ where the GESTAPO organization made insinuation that they have uncovered a plot to bomb Computer Village Lagos, Worship Centres and Parks and that one Chidiebere Onwudiwe, a graduate of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering was the lead brain behind the plot.

Its however unfortunate that the GESTAPO DSS in her haste to cook up ‘’something’’ against Mazi Onwudiwe did a very poor job with the content of their press release. If not, they would have known that Chidiebere is a very peaceful person who can’t take an innocent life, who hates injustices and loves freedom thus the claim of his alleged involvement in planning of attacks any where in the country is baseless, unfounded and mere imagination of the accusers especially since he has "business interest" in the supposedly Computer Village that the GESTAPO DSS wants the world to believe that he wants to bomb. Claiming that he intended to bomb ASO ROCK would have made better "political reality" (apologies to AHMB)

For the records, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, who incidentally is the Biafra land coordinator of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was kidnapped from his hotel room on the 22nd of June in River State for no known reason other than being an outspoken coordinator of IPOB.

Chidiebere’s only known crime seems to be the interview that he granted Sun Newspaper which was published on Saturday 18th June, 2016 edition where he reiterated the guiding principle of the struggle for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra under the command of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that even if ‘’the Nigeria security officials should kill every Pro-Biafran activist that it will not the struggle or the coming of Biafra and soonest too’’. It seem that the GESTAPO organization was taken aback by the audacity of Mazi Onwudiwe to speak with such boldness and to dismantle the lies in certain quarters that the cold blood murder of over 140 armless Biafran youths at Nkpor on the 30th of May, 2016 have diminished the quest and resolve of Biafrans especially those living in Biafra land to continue with the struggle.
Our source within the DSS equally confirmed that the GESTAPO organization was disappointed that Mazi Onwudiwe busted the report that they (GESTAPO - DSS) had given President AHMB. Our source showed evidence to confirm that the GESTAPO outfit had assured AHMB that based on the way and manner that they ‘’dealt with miscreants called IPOB’’ through (very high rate of killings and terminal injuries inflicted) on the group that they can bet their "2 months salaries" that the agitation for Biafra was dead and buried.

The top hierarchy in the organization were however alarmed at the audacity of a ‘’small boy and an unknown entity’’ like Mazi Onwudiwe to rubbish their bets and cheat beating assurance before AHMB almost immediately that it was made.

Chidiebere was reported to have said during the interview that …….

‘’We (IPOB) are not in the habit of exposing our approach but be rest assured that we are continuing to bring the might of the international opinion and condemnation to weigh on this murderous regime. In our usual manner, we have presented all evidence to every institution on this earth capable of bringing Buhari to account and they are working on the information in their possession. The world is no longer a place where a DEMONIC DICTATOR will live without being answerable to the crimes he committed against innocent civilians. The world is on our side because the manner of barbarism witnessed at Nkpor on the 30th of May is shocking even by the primitive standards of brutai African leaders. Every person involved in the killings of IPOB family members on that fateful day will be hunted down and brought to trial from Buhari to Obiano and all those that pulled the trigger. We know where their children are and someday they too will bury their own children since they have no regards for the lives of other people’s children’’.

The above was Mazi Chidiebere responses to the question by the interviewer asking ‘’What is your (IPOB’s) next line of action after the 30th May killings? Do you intend to take the Army or other security agencies to court in Nigeria or international?"
Our source is emphatic that decision of the GESTAPO outfit to kidnap Mazi Onwudiwe and keep him incommunicado for a very long time was based on the need for him to stop embarrassing them before AHMB after their the assurance to him of the death and burial of the Biafra restoration agitation.

However, what the DSS failed to take note about Mazi Onwudiwe is that keeping him incommunicado for so long will not break his spirit. Chidiebere is a very mentally tough Biafran who has vowed to remain unmarried until the coming of Biafra because he does not forsee himself training his unborn children in a cursed entity like Nigeria.

Its therefore in the interest of the Gestapo outfit to either release Mazi Chidiebere Onwudiwe or charge him to court if they have anything against him as his continued detention without trial is an infringement against his fundamental human right and his UN enshrined right to advocate and push for self-determination for his people. The standard practice worldwide is that the accused is charged to court within a "reason time" incase he/she is found wanting in any way. Keeping him in detention without trial for almost a month further confirms the position of IPOB that Nigeria is truly a Zoo. Chidiebere’s right to fair hearing must also be respected and that can only be done by him having his day in court not by indefinite detention. Mazi Onwudiwe's continued detention without trial further proves what is known in all quarters that the GESTAPO outfit have absolutely nothing against him but are just desperate to please the African Hitler.

However, GESTAPO DSS should know by now that His further detention will not break him nor make him give up on the quest for Biafra. Ditto for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other arrested innocent and detained IPOB activists thus it is clearly an exercise in futility. http://lm.?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebiafratimes.co%2F2016%2F07%2Fbuhari-and-dss-are-terrorists.html&h=AAQFqT1pu&s=1

It’s official, Naira now Africa’s worst performing currency of 2016....Current value will shock you


The Nigerian naira took a dive on Thursday at both parallel and official markets, becoming the worst performing currency in Africa in 2016.


The naira, which began trading at around 283 to the dollar at the interbank market on Thursday, depreciated to 284/$1 to become the third worst performing currency in the world for 2016.

Nigerian naira, according to Bloomberg data, came ahead

of only two currencies in the world – Venezulan bolivar and Suriname dollar.

At the Nigerian parallel market, the naira fell to its lowest level since the start of the new foreign exchange regime, trading at 363/$1 and 485 to the pound in Abuja and Port Harcourt.

The Euro traded above N390 in Lagos and under 380 in the nation’s capital, Abuja.

In 2016, the naira has lost 29.61 percent of its value on the official market, following the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to allow for a floating foreign exchange regime.

The top three performing currencies of 2016 are all universal currencies; Silver, Gold and Platinum, which have gained 45.93 percent, 25.11 percent and 22.79 percent respectively.

These currencies are followed by the Brazilian real, the Russian rubble and the Japanese Yen.

The best performers in Africa are South African rand, Zambian kwacha, Somali shilling and Botswana Pula, which have gained 8.88 percent, 8.69 percent, 5.54 percent and 4.95 percent respectively.

At the base of the African currencies are the naira, Mozambique new metical, Sierra Leone leone, and the Angolan kwanza.

The CBN remains “reasonably optimistic” that the naira would eventually settle at 250 to the dollar at the interbank market.

The local currency has been on the downward swing following a plunge in crude oil prices and a consequent decline in Nigeria’s foreign reserves.

Chai! This man has done it again. It seem that he is here to repeat the hardship that he inflicted on the citizens in 1984 again?

IGBO ETHNIC HATE AND BIGOTRY WORRY ME....Igbo Igbokwe. Ever since President Buhari won the 2015 Presidential elections he was destined to win having labored in 2003, 2007, 2011 and then 2015 a very vast preponderance of South South and South East indigenes have descended on the President, pouring invectives, calling him names, abusing his person and his exalted office, preaching hate, and ethnic divisions. I have followed this dangerous trend over a year now, and it is not abetting. It is growing like wild fire everyday. In recent times the South-South people whose son lost the election have moved on except the criminal avengers who are fighting for their pockets only and destroying their environment.

I have seen spirited and genuine efforts being made by the leaders of South-South to bring peace to the Niger Delta, and I heartily commend them for this. It is in their own interest. But in the South East, our people have refused to move on. In the diaspora, in Nigeria, in schools, in the markets, on the streets, in Churches, in Town Meetings etc Igbo have refused to move on. Every move the President makes to rebuild and reposition the country is abused, castigated and ethnic meaning read into it. The dangerous trend has become so embarrassing that one is compelled to speak out. While leaders of South-South have made interventions to make way for harmony and peaceful co-existence, Igbo leaders have maintained a deafening silence but this silence is no longer golden. Ethnic bigotry and hate speeches our people both at home and abroad dish out everyday endanger our people living in all parts of Nigeria. President Buhari belongs to a section of Nigeria and must not run away with the thinking that his people will be happy and clap for us when we malign and abuse one of their own.

No ethnic group in Nigeria moves and settles in any part of the country like the Igbo. They settle and do business in almost every part of the country, and when we throw stones to other Nigerians, we endanger their lives and their businesses. The worst sets of Igbo guilty of this dangerous trend are those living outside the country. While some of them are engaged in meaningful employment, many of them are unemployed. They have become economic refugees and cultural savages. They have formed an association of hate preachers and wailing bigots. They have through actions and deeds created millions of enemies for Ndigbo in Nigeria while they waste their precious gift of time abroad doing nothing.

Last week the Vice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo was in Afe Babalola University Ekiti State as Guest Speaker during the University’s Convocation ceremony. In the cause of his speech, he told his capacity audience the Niger Delta Avengers are not freedom fighters but those fighting for their pockets only. I saw the story on facebook and other sites on the internet. The one on Facebook caught my attention because of nearly 400 reactions as at the time I read it. I took mental note of the reactions and the names attached to it. 95% are Igbo names and they abused and called the Vice President unprintable names for speaking the truth. This is a shame. Ignorance should not be a virtue. Ignorance is a disease. Foolishness is a tragedy. This is ignorance stupid. This is mental darkness. A roaring lion kills no game. It is only a river that wants to get dried up that forgets its source. A Chinese proverb tells me that “He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is half way there. He who blames no one has arrived.”



Now, it is time for the Igbo to move on and join other Nigerians to begin the process of rebuilding Nigeria. I want Igbo Governors, elected Senators, elder statesmen, House of Reps Members, House of Assembly members, political leaders, traditional rulers, Igbo intellectuals, professionals, market leaders, town union leaders, village heads, etc. to rise up to defend the integrity and honor of Igbo race. Are these ignorant ones who preach hate speaking for us? Are they representing us? Are they our brightest and bests? Are those asking for Biafra and using it as business venture speaking for all of us? Have we taken a look at the situation in South Sudan today? Shall we continue to sleep pretending that all is well? Can we be honest enough to see the real danger ahead? For how long will our leaders continue to be silent on these weighty issues? Can elders continue to sleep while the kids wear snakes as necklaces? Can the young teach tradition to the old? Who will bell the cat in Igboland? Who will call the ignorant kids to order?

Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB? Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996? Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999? Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internet and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones.

Case Rested!

A Reply To Joe Igbokwe And "Others" With Plenitude Of Insults On The Issue Of Igbos Political Stance:

I hardly respond to quotes especially when they degenerate to insult but since you decided to respond with some civility and a spark of some intelligence comments, I decided to make an exception by correcting you in almost all the points you made. And I will do so with facts and history.

Let me start from your last points. You stated that 'your history' shows that yorubas beats other tribes in politics. That's a very big historic lie. Are you aware that this is the first time in Nigeria's history that yorubas got their alignment right. Let's go down history lane. In the 1st republic, Dr Awolowo under AG contested and lost to Zik of NCNC. The prime minister, Tafawa Balewa became like the VP(it was a parliamentary govt). In 1979, Awo came up again under UPN and lost to the new breed of young politicians of Shagari/Ekwueme of NPN. That was when he cried that if only 'he could be allowed to be president for even a day.'

Then in 1999, the yorubas lined up behind Falae/Shinkafi of AD/APP alliance while the south east and south south with the help of some North central states backed OBJ/Atiku. In 2007, Tinubu fronted Atiku for A.C.N and yorubas lost with him. Buhari under ANPP/CPC won a few north west states but the south east, south south, north central voted Yar'adua/Jonathan. In 2011, the yorubas went with Ribadu/Adeola and lost again. So I wonder why their 1st ever successful alliance will qualify them as ahead of anybody.

In your other point, you declared that Igbos are bigotted. On the contrary go through the history again. Igbos and south south voted overwhelmingly for OBJ(a yoruba man) even when he defeated Ekwueme that formed the PDP. We did not cry foul. We did not hate OBJ for that. We still backed him while his own people followed Falae and lost woefully. In 2007, Yar'adua of PDP won in the south east and south south. Is he an igbo man? Igbos are never bigotted. Instead they are the tribe who are least considered in making any decision in any sphere of our national politics. Is GEJ an Igbo man?

But the yorubas only backed their tribesman since Nigeria's independence.

You claim that igbos are the most backward in democratic settings. That's a big lie from the pit of hell. Many historical records and books from the british show that when they arrived Nigeria, their records claim that igbos were already with democratic institutions. That is why the south east was the last region they could capture because they couldn't find one single man with totalitarian power to influence. Everything was discussed by each village's council of elders and put to a voice vote. They now had to use military force and then enthrone warrant chiefs. No central sultan to buy over, no Emir over a large region, no Oba controlling over large region, no Ooni etc with absolute power. I can post one of such reports for you here. No single man in igbo land wields absolute power, it must be subjected to vote which is now in practice nationwide.

On the point you made about God. I had expected that a person of your intelligence would have understood that it was an allegory used to clearly illustrate the point being made. In simple words, it meant that the yorubas will ditch the best saint for the worst person once the worst 'satan' wins. Who doesn't know that the Lord is not a democrat but the Almighty Sovereign Lord. You made no point there, instead exhibited a lack of IQ.

And in your first point of it being just an election. Permit me to explain that for Igbos, their disdain for buhari wasn't about this election. They wouldn't have mind anyother northerner except buhari. They don't have anything tribal about it, afterall, they've massively voted northerners severally before. Their suspicion is with buhari whom they have always known by his antecedents to be an unrepentant tribal bigot from his track record. Tinubu would have even won in igboland if he had contested against buhari.

Ignorance is a disease, wish you cerebral healing.

Questions for you and your likes:

1). Did the truck differentiate between Muslims and non Muslims before crushing them?

2). How many Muslims living in your neighborhood have violently attacked you because you don't share similar faith?

Every time there's an attack like this, people jump into the band wagon of blaming Islam without considering the political and ideological struggle between the parties involved. Perhaps, a signal for religious hatred and intolerance.

For example, some of the Arabs fight the west and their allies for waging war on their land which is purely not for the sake of Islam.

Islam firmly and vehemently opposed spilling of innocent blood.

A guy killed 5 cops in Dallas, no one attributed it to Christainity.

For the fact that some terrorist claims to be Muslims doesn't mean they represent Islam.

Islam is a religion of peace and so shall it remain till the end of time.

I join billions of good people to condemn this act of terrorism and pray God grant the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear these losses.

Wow! Religion of Peace indeed. Have heard that lines so many times that it has become boring. If you know how many times that we have lost loved ones to this your peaceful religion in the northern states of niGERia here all carried out by islamic elements without any provocation you will stop penning these your boring defence next time.

So Anambra is not Almajiri? Keep on deluding yourself.

wait oh! Does it mean that no communique was issued at the end of this August meeting, sorry July waste of time gathering? If yes, can we have it? Thanks in advance

Kruzilano:
now their soil and water has bin stained, the govt careless for them, they keep destroying govt property... Who is to bear the blame? Both of course.. But "my pen is greater than the sword....my lord"

The govt shld be blamed. The govt started the destruction of their environment. The land is already destroyed before they (militanta) started the bombing of the pipe lines to draw govt's attention to her evil. The good thing is that it will take just one cleanup to remedy the polluated environment both as caused by govt originally and as artifically caused by the bombings.

Kruzilano:
truly the government gat some blame for failing to put up socio amenities fro the people whose land the federation feeds upon.....nevertheless, 2 wrong can't make a right.. We all point accusing finger toward our government, we forget da 4 are point back @ us.. Its high time we change this reasoning of looking up to the government for evrytin... If oil wasn't discovered in their land, what would they have done?? When mend fought, whr were they?? What is their state government doing towards their development? What are their prominent men doing Why do we love taking advantage of anything that crosses our path??

if oil wasn't discovered in their land, what will they have done you ask? They would have continued with their fishing and farming businesses. That is what their forebears survived on until oil discovery that have today become a curse on them (courtesy of the niGERia govt's penchant for stealing people's wealth without giving back to the local communities)

Nnamdi Kanu may Chukwu Okike Abiama continue to guide and guard you. Those of u that have had one and one rapport with you can testify that you are once in a generation kind of a leader. Your kinds are hard and rear to find. I will forever remain loyal to your command knowing that at the end that sovereign state of Biafra must surely come. Most of your prophecies have already come to past. We are however assured that very soon that the main one "the last miracle" - the restoration of the Chukwu Okike Abiama's kingdom on earth - will equally come to past.

This is funby. Ohanaeze is holding a summit but the press release is from Agboghoawusa appointee.....ROTFL

My the murderers and their households be hunted by the spirited of the murdered innocent Biafrans.
