Ameachi is repeatedly accused of looting rivers state. Why didn't he launch a suite against those behind the defamation?

From 2018 through election week things gonna be temporary OK do the willdisappoined, the economy floats.

You talk before you think?

yarimo:
Well done sir, may God continue to bless you. Carry on till 2023 haters beware

Who is hater. Can't you be reasonable, positive and objective once in your stupi..d life. Buhari's message is for love and peace, not hateful. He meant it or not is his business. But you, you wallow in negativity.. Change!!

After Apostle Suleiman condemned kill against Kaduna christians he became adulterer and extravagant the next minute. FFK have been in and out of EFCC because his stand as opposition to APC. Dino Melaye's life is in danger because of continued criticism against APC. Dino should extend his accusation to certain extent. Is not only Isa is after him.

You lot are just sick with this tribalism.

Tribalism is innate in that particular tribe.

Dogs suppose to be watching your brother's shows because I understand that you guys are celebrity of dogs. Your qualifications remains "Davido brother" apart from that you're as good and relevance as dogs.

It's just a run of the mill normal runway. I see nothing 'beautiful' about it.

You can't see the beauty. Is not your field. Pilots and related professions are consigned. How can you compare the technology of 1982 to 2017? maybe you're not born. The aircraft of 35years ago and today has experienced great change. Technicians wrote off the formal runway because of technical reasons. Conclusively, change is a mandate.

Yyeske:
I tell you, the Brits would be regretting why they ever granted this country independence. Imagine a known criminal being celebrated, late Alams was given national honour by the clueless one

Aru gba afo oburu omenala". All Nigerian's public servants are the same... All man is protecting their own thief.

Jeffboi:
Lolzz, aba boys fit rehabilitate am ooh, or ladipo boys

The only gift you received from God is tribalism. It is innate in you. Shame. If not Igbos is gej. You need total orientation of the damage your parents caused in your coconut head. Empty vessels.

Xkalaban:
I give u kudos bro. U seem to have a good head on ur shoulders. That's what we need on NL. Ppl who talk sensibly.

That guy is sound minded

coolzeal:
The North cannot detect for us all in this nation. If the collective effort of the better South put politics and tribes aside, no one can stop us from restructuring.

Yorubas and Igbos gave Hausas platform to trample upon them. They should re-examine themselves before they can navigate Nigeria to the right direction. Enough is enough.

southniyikaye:
someone should pls tell me why we won't have the following
Recession
Scarcity of forex
Increase in goods and commodities
See hoarding for Christ sake

Gej is a useless man believe me.up on till now I still have respect for him but seeing all these,he lost my respect cos all these evil was perpetrated during his rule.
Towards the end of his reign expecially the campaign period,money was given out,shared in dollars.


FOR ALL THOSE WHO COULDN'T CRITICIZE CONSTRUCTIVELY,
THIS IS FOR YOU

All these bulky cash is not necessary from looting of government resources or treasury. Illegal bunkery , drug dealing and related activities can easily fetch such cash to criminals.

Great news and welcomed idea. But please add number 21 as follows:- Anambra airport shall not collect #400 for passengers trolleys. Only in Nigeria around the world that passengers pay for trolleys to convey their luggage to car parks. What a shame?. I landed in Kaduna international shameful airport on Sunday 9th April,2017 laughed Nigeria should push ethnicity behind. How can that hall be tagged. "international" let Nigerian leadership be real.

Martinez na real otondo

Penalty

Eleney in central defensive mid field and Gabriel in defense gives opponents advantage . Sorry.

MrEgbegbe:

You think this will help those dumbasses that voted for a 98 years old donkey ??

Tell me how someone who voted for a drink illiterate would be concerned about the use of words

Be objective once in ur life. Comment on the information from the op. What is all this nonsense about ethnicity , tribalism and political sentiments in everything? You voted him in knowing his old and he is your president. I didn't vote. If you're not Yoruba, you're Igbo. Nonsense.

Congratulations Runtown you deserve the award. I only listened to your master piece"mad in love" just last February. I pushed to DJ for a repeat. She told me but the artist is Nigerian. Am like woow, really? Others are busy showing watches n shoes , loss women of south Africa and 17 baby mamas' on social media. Your work speaks for you. Congratulations once again.

Moderators and op, this trend is trash and shouldn't have made it to front page or come up at all. How do you measure the word of God and the message these men preach?

Moderators and op?

Benz4pimp:
I am so sure you wouldn't have typed that trash if she was ur sis...Hypo Hypo hypocrite

But Stephanie have exhausted her reserved dignity. I would have disowned her as a sister.

reuben79:
in history of nigeria Biafra never ve human rit lawyer............and u open ur mouth and call falana attection wat?u must be a sickler

I greet you guys ..Yoruba and Igbo. Hatred. Every news must be narrowed . Human rights or not doesn't really matter.

simonlee:
I don tire with this una matter. Buhari dey Bleep us up and our only hope is here battling each other over chairmanship. Which way my people

Like Yorubas and Igbos fighting each other while Hausas feast on their futures..

Tonto dike against her husband and Stephanie Otobo against Suleiman should join olu

brainpulse:
Good one. The first very active and working VP Nigeria ever have. Even more active than the past ineffectual buffoon(GEJ) that two fighters nearly beat yesterday at one meeting.

..
Any day u stop mentioning Gej your miserable family life will change for good. Goodluck Jonathan didn't cause your misfortune. Leave him alone. Your evil nature detest good things. You will vote recession again and continue to complain in that miserable country without water and electricity. Six years; just that he came from somewhere of no recognition yet you're livelihood depends on his backyard. Let him go ...no let him live no...accept him no.. Wicked tartaric face generation.

And how much to the poor and needy? Show the receipt please.

Tribute to Emeka Ojukwu - by Yakubu Gowon.

Never mind, I once referred to him as 'Rebel Leader'! That was the appropriate language of the official perception of his role at that time, during the Nigerian Civil War; but he was His Excellency, Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu - Ojukwu, Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria. However, i can testify that he was not only a remarkable and interesting man, he was also a brave and courageous Soldier - Statesman. I say this because i knew him as a colleague and he was my friend.

However, owing to the fact that we were on opposing sides of the civil war, many had thought that Emeka and I were arch enemies. We were not. I never refered to him or the Igbos as enemies, privately, personally or officially. However, as the leader of the government of Eastern Nigeria that sought to break away from Nigeria ( a factor that led to the Nigerian Civil War), Military Governor Ojukwu was seen by many as my adversary because at that time, I happened to be the Head of the Federal military Government of Nigeria. But I did not see Emeka Ojukwu as an hostile adversary or enemy and the worst endeared way I can describe him was a ‘rebel’! We were friends and colleagues before the events leading to the civil war and would like to point out that we were contemporaries after he enlisted as a graduate cadet officer and later commissioned into the Nigerian Army and joined us in late 1958.

I believe that Ojukwu and I had one thing in common. We were both principled men and it might even be said that the Civil War resulted largely because we both stuck to our principles! We swore an oath of loyalty to our country, Nigeria. This was the ideal we both held before the crisis that engulfed the country on 1966-1967. I concede, in all honesty, that Emeka Ojukwu could be justified in taking a stand for the defence and protection of his people in the circumstances of the country at the time. I was trying to do the same at the national level at that time. I understand and respected his position but not the extreme position he took which I felt was misguided. I wished we had toiled more to avoid secession. I strongly believe that if Ojukwu was in my shoes he would have done exactly the same as I did during those crucial years. What was done was not a personal or group dislike or hatred. Emeka was never my enemy nor are the Igbos. We never disliked each other. We only disliked the stand and actions taken by the other.

The cumulative effects of the events of 1966-67 unfortunately brought about the schism between us personally and officially that ultimately led to the unfortunate civil war of 1967-70 which regrettably brought out the best and worst of our human nature. Thankfully efforts from both sides brough about the resolution of our crisis, with Ojukwu in the interest of his people to have peace, left to sue for peace and for his successors to end the armed conflict and for the Federal side to offer end of hostilities with a ‘No Victor, No vanquished’ policy and a robust programme of the 3Rs – Reconcilliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction programme which heralded the historic reconciliation to the credit of Nigerians from both sides of the divide.

I feel happy that ultimately Nigeria was preserved and reconciled, and enabled Ojukwu to return to Nigeria to continue to contribute his quota to the growth and development of a new and better Nigeria. It is also instructive that he was able to contest national elections into the highest office in the land. He will always remain relevant to our history, history of Nigeria, by the legacy he left behind.

After the war, when we were both exiled and outside Nigeria, Emeka, on a visit to the UK made a telephone call to my home in London while I was at the University of Warrick and spoke to my wife Victoria and left his telephone number and contact address with her. On my return home at the weekend, I reciprocated by calling and visiting him at his hotel, Mont Calm Hotel, Marble Arch in London where I could say our personal and initial ‘reconciliation’ began and sealed the national reconciliation that had earlier taken place in Nigeria. Thereafter, we had met many times in various parts of the country endorsing our personal and national reconciliation. I was also able to visit him at his home in Enugu after our Nigeria Prays Programme in that city in April 2010. I paid a condolence visit to him and his wife, Bianca for the death of his late former wife, Njide, and his father-in-law, former Governor C. C. Onoh with whom I was very close. I was very warmly received by the family and my leave taking on that occasion was so moving as the staff around showed much appreciation and love. His eldest Son, Chief Debe Odumegwu Ojukwu whom I know from childhood wrote a touching endearing letter to inform me of his father’s demise which says it all ‘...you may have fought a war against each other...a facade to the outside world, but to us the family, especially myself.. you ingeniously remained friends till the very end. Let his death soothe and garner lasting peace for our country Nigeria...’ I say Amen! Let all say Amen!!

When I learnt of his admission to hospital in London and i rang to speak to him and or his darling wife Bianca, the call was answered by his young daughter, Ebele who was the only one available at the time holding forth and keeping watch over her sick father. She told me that Daddy was sleeping. We had a pleasant chat and i gave her a message, to tell Daddy that he had no right to be sick at this jostling time and that he should hurry up and get well and out of hospital and return home so that we can continue with and finish our fight! Young Ebele burst into ecstatic laughter of understanding that touched my heart and promised to relay the message. Subsequently, I learnt fron Ojukwu's Chief of Staff that she faithfully relayed the message to the family, her mother and all that were there. I am sure the old Soldier got the message and would have smiled, smiled of approval!

On learning of his death, I called to commiserate with the family. His Chief of Staff, Bob who answered the call promised to relay the condolence message. I salute the memory of a brave soldier and worthy friend. The only regret I have is that I did not make an effort to draft Emeka into our Nigeria Prays ministry to join me and many others in praying for Nigeria. Who knows whether with his experience of the horrors of the civil war and the powers of prayer we would not have sooner been saved the scourge of the violence, bombing, kidnappings and mayhem being lately experienced in the nation. My prayer is that the Lord may have mercy on his soul and uphold the lovely family he left behind and grant Nigeria peace and love of one another.

I join all my Ndigbo brothers and sisters, living and the dead, all Nigerians in mourning and celebrating their and Nigeria’s illustrious Son, my brother, friend and old colleague – Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Adieu dear brother and friend, rest in peace till we meet again at our Lord’s presence.

General Yakubu Gowon, GCFR

Who is Author Eze, who is the governor.
Explain at least by their outfits.
