naija and hypocrisy. We speak against child marriage bt we smack our lips at de sight of a ripening teenage breasts. Child marriage and polygamy would go a long way to eradicate some marital and sexual abuses

buhari thinks intimidation and murders by the nigeria army is de only solution to every cry of de masses. Soldiers whose primary duty is to keep out external forces are now used against de people they are to protect. Buhari is exactly what my father described to me abt 1983.....smh

lies

okosodo:
Since they are still attackimg army convoy, by june 2017, i have to say the nigerian army is useless. Lets assume that these boko haram are christians, would the army still be allowing them to attack their convoys at this time? The nigerian army is deceiving the south and they know it

deceiving the south abi deceiving themselves

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said he would never give up his agitation for the restoration of Biafra Republic. Kanu who made the assertion on Monday, May 8, noted that he wants the reward for his agitation in this world and not when he dies and goes to heaven. According to Vanguard, Kanu also vowed to challenge his stringent bail conditions, saying they were unconstitutional. Kanu spoke in Enugu when he paid a thank you visit to the leadership of the Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA). Recall that the ECA appointed Kanu its leader in absentia when he was in detention in Kuje Prisons. Nnamdi Kanu The IPOB leader was received by top members of the ECA, including Mrs Okwor and Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Ukoh, among others. On those he left behind in the prisons, he said: “We are making efforts to see that they come out because they committed no crime. All we are seeking for is freedom; a return to the values we had before the advent of white men. A situation where people move their cows into our farms and slaughter our people will no longer be acceptable.” Kanu’s scheduled visit to the Second Republic Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, at Oko, Aguata in Anambra state for the same purpose was cancelled at the last minute due to alleged unforeseen circumstances. He was also scheduled to visit President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, to express the same sentiments but the visit was postponed because Nwodo travelled to the United States of America. However, expressing his gratitude for the support showed to him by some Igbo leaders and groups, Kanu said he chose the option of fighting to liberate the people of Biafra, adding that there was no going back. His words: “I have chosen the option that we must be free as a people; that we must be liberated as a race and that we must have every freedom due to us as given by God. I would not want to go to heaven before experiencing it; I want to experience it here. “I thank all of you that worked very hard, especially the Igbo Youth Movement; I must be specific, and the Eastern Consultative Assembly and all the market men and women, those that closed their shops to see us and all those who made efforts to ensure that I was not consumed. I thank all of you. “I desire Biafra, I want Biafra, I want nothing else other than Biafra. I will not settle for anything else other than Biafra. That was what I was born to do and that is what I will do till the day Biafra will come that we may live as free men on this very earth as the Most High God, Chukwu Okike Abiama, ordained it.” On his stringent bail conditions, he described them as obnoxious and unconstitutional, vowing to challenge them in the days ahead. The IPOB leader declined to speak with journalists, citing the bail conditions given to him by the high court.

The media is agog with news of the release of 82 Chibok girls who have been kept hostage by the Boko Haram jihadists. NAIJ.com earlier reported that Boko Haram released a batch of more than 80 of the Chibok high school girls who were abducted in mid-April 2014. Sahara Reporters had earlier reported that 80 girls were freed but sources close to the deal however insisted that only 62 girls were released. The report said the release abducted school girls came after further negotiations between the Islamist group and the Muhammadu administration. Some details of the negotiation involved in the release of 82 more Chibok girls by the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists were released on Sunday, May 7. According to Sahara Reporters, a combined team of military and Red Cross negotiators involved in the negotiation flew two Boko Haram commanders to Banki town in Borno state in exchange for the girls while the Nigerian army took custody of the girls who were handed over by Boko Haram representatives. The Department of State Security (DSS) was also heavily involved in the negotiation that led to the release of the girls. Sani Usman who resides in Baki said they were apprehensive when they saw the military planes landing. “We were not sure why the helicopters were landing until we saw two men handcuffed and driven away in a military convoy and also the Chibok girls driven into town under heavy military escort.” Taking a second look at the development, Fiona Lovatt, a renowned educationist, raised some vital points regarding the entire deal. Below is the conversation stirred and afterwards are 4 vital points noted.
The issues that must be given critical attention 1. Did the government use the exchange to Nigeria's advantage It would be nice to know that the jihadists that were given in exchage for the girls, were not just released to go free, without their release being of value to Nigeria. Is there a way the government would use the release of these terrorist to bring an and to the insurgency war? 2. Are there proper arrangements to re- integrate the girls back to the real life, away from the captivity they have experienced? The government must show readiness to give help the girls fully recover from their dilemma. Academically, they must given the best to get them up to speed, medically, they must be given all the care to help them survive the trauma they have been through. 3. What is the fate of the girls back in the communities When the released return to their homes, it is important that they find it welcoming. There are cases of the girls being stigmatized. There has to be campaigns orienting the people on why the girls deserve their love and respect. The government must also ensure that the babies they return with are protected, there are some who would rather treat them as outcasts, and label them bastards. 4. Now that we are negotiating with terrorist, what is the fate of the remaining girls held hostage There are still some Chibok girls left out there in the dark, the release of these few suggest that their return is possible. Kudos must be given to the Buhari-led administration for bringing some of the girls home. However, there used to be a time when negotiating with terrorists was off the table, one wonders what the government will do next, now that this negotiation has been confirmed. Beyond negotiating for the girls, shall the nation also negotiate for an end to this war? Shall we also broker a deal for repentant Boko Haram fighters?

First of all I am from Lagos royal household and have one of the Benin last name like obido eletu etc.

What that said, there is NO WAY ON EARTH THAT WE WOULD BE LOYAL TO OBA OF BENIN UNLESS HE IS LOYAL TO THE OONI.

Benin should know that they cannot eat their cake and have it. One go turn deserves another.

thank u for ur first statement which proves dat de history dat oba of lagos royal household originated from Benin
and as for ur loyalty, de oba of Benin is not concerned abt ur loyalty as it has been taken away by de British a long time ago. but it doesn't change de truth.
as for de oba of Benin and de ooni of ife, there is an ancestral saying of mine dat translates "igodomigo(Benin) gave uhe (ife) a prince and uhe gave igodomigo a king"
go and read ur history lagosians

Olu317:
What is this one inferring?OBA OF LAGOS THAT WAS A SON OF ALAAGBA, AN IJESHA MAN. WHICH TOOTHLESS BENIN ARE YOU INFERRING? IS IT THE ONE BORDERING NIGERIA or WHICH ONE? YOU ARE A LEARNER . HE HAS NO POWER BEYOND IDUGANRAN AND SUBURB. CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN IGNORANCE. OBA AKIOLU has blundered.

my dear, Google the history of Lagos and also visit ur library if u don't trust Google

neocortex:
Can't you just stay on topic for once ?
If I told you about a rift that happened between awujale and Ooni,
I am sure you will find another benin-linked story to tell instead of defending
your original claim.

no matter how forgotten history may be, it can't be changed. no matter how long lie lasts. it doesn't make it de truth.

Celcius:
Arrant nonsense. Is this about loyalty or courtesy?
Didn't the Emir of Kano just meet with the Ooni of Ife in cordial and courteous manner?
This piece is highly misplaced.

kings are not meant to be corteous

schoolmaster:
quite inspiring, but are u also sure that this Same Oba of Lagos will accord the Oba of Benin the required homage if your historical analysis is true? because to me he appears too proud and arrogant.

pride and arrogance are fine qualities of a king. kings don't give respect, they are meant to be given. and u can't have de grace to disgrace de oba of Benin, cos he knows who he is and can't be seen shaking hands wit ppl at public function. he rules from his palace and cannot be tricked out of his kibgdom by societal functions and or societal gain. I hope u are familiar wit de Nigeria saying dat oba no dey go transfer. yea. dats de oba of Benin. he doesn't leave his kingdom and empire

neocortex:
The show off is a personal issue, if you know anything about Yoruba history you will know that the respect for Ooni's
stool is an heritage one not power-based. In fact their are many instances in history where Ooni and some yoruba
kings were at loggerhead, a popular one being the face of between the late Alaafin and the late Ooni.
Baghdad once conquered and ruled spain that doesn't make spain subservient to Baghdad, in fact, in modern
times most people who were once ruled view their conquerors as enemies to be treated with scorn not as superior.

Next time you should deploy better "theories" to prove your points instead of writing long epistles which adds nothing to the
discussion at hand.

if I may ask do u know why de old time rift btw de alafin of Oyo and ooni of ife exists. lemme telk u if u don't
oranmiyan, after leaving ile binu which is present day Benin, he went to establish his own empire, de Oyo empire. wen after his fathers death he was called upon to take over de seat of ife, he decline since he preferred to head de Oyo empire dat he founded to inheriting his fathers seat. so he put his fathers servant whose name was ooni which means escapee on de seat and appoint someone from Oyo to go and deputise (which literally mean to check and balance de activities of dis servqnt-cum-leader). dis deputy was named de obalufe of ife which means de king of ifeland of ife to dis day. use ur head to put two and two together. if u doubt, Google and wikipedia is ur friend
