sarrki:
Kanu is working for PDP

Where is FFK and fayose that are hailing him now ?

Kanu Know get sense at all

Sorry I forget say nah dropout

Please show your best at this time. Chase no more trouble by this inciting speeches. Let's encourage tolerance and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians, irrespective of language, tribe or creed.

sarrki:
No food for lazy man

Ipobs lost out completely

There activities now will be unlawful

They are now a terrorist group

Kanu did not managed his fame well

He allowed pride and hate to ruin it

Sarrki, please, you may chose to be patriotic now, instead of the usual argument with the ipobs on who wins and or, who loses.

This is not the time for us versus them. Please, for once, join the voices of moderation. You will be welcomed in the group of those who use their MB to moderate the situation.

We need peace all over Nigeria. I presume you are a supporter of Baba Buhari administration, so do so by calling for peace instead of chest beating. Please, its a plea.

BiafraIShere:
I don't know why blacks don't reason, Nigeria is so messed up that this country can never develop even in a hundred years time. In sane climes they would have had a sober reflection and make radical changes but here they keep sweeping everything under the carpet and still wondering why poverty and destruction has remained their lot.

They only postponed the doomsday by using massive force of suppression on an otherwise peaceful agitators while fulani terrorists are given covert support with state resources.

The zoo will still break up in no distant time. I just pray my brothers will divest from other regions, especially the north and bring such investments home.

USELESS COUNTRY!!!

Which home??

You IPOB has now caused Igboland to become an endangered place. If this Python dance goes on this way, soon people in northern Nigeria will experience tranquillity more than people in the place you call "home".

Don't forget, all houses in Igboland are private owned, so also majority of the infrastructure there. Now your IPOB will cause the destruction of lots if them, yet, since after the Biafran war, the three " R" has not been effective in Igboland. Why are you group causing more havoc?

Be warned, never you people harm Hausa-Fulani people in the south. Or you will not like it

YourTerror:
Will you keep Kwayet you criminal. Umunne anyi na anwu na ike ugbua makana Nnamdi Kanu sara ha isi (brainwashing). Has Nnamidiot Kanu not sent his wife and child back to London? Why is his wife running? You thieves compare him to Mandela. Was Winnie Mandela not flogged and beaten? Where is Lolo Kanu to collect Python beating?

I know this will come as a suprise but I will not support the breakup of Nigeria again. After taking my time to go through stories on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that;

(1)IPOB looked for trouble and should bear the responsibility alone. You can't fight a federal might and win.

(2)We Igbos brought trouble on ourselves. We first of all declared war on Buhari. Prior before election, we filled the cyber space with hatred and malice against him even Even though He should have forgiven us as a father knowing fully well that we are his children and he is a president of all.

(3)Further championing the Biafran cause will alienate us further from the Nigerian bread and make the needed developments not come to our side.

(4) We Igbos are very arrogant and have refused to learn to stop chest beating. We see every tribe as not suffering and we ourselves as the only people that suffered to make it. This is a pure lie.

(5) The Yorubas have every right to protect the Nigerian state. If they still want to stay in Nigeria, it is their right. I will forever stop calling them Afonja. Same goes for the good people of Calabar, Bayelsa, Rivers and Idoma who have made it clear that they will never be part of Biafra. I will now respect their opinion

(6) I have come to realise that even if Nigeria restructures today or separates, Igbos may bear the brunt more ooo. I have to be objective. Forget chest beating and making noise like wounded goats. We no get anything ho haa for our land. The Benue we insult for refusing Biafra has food oo. North has food oo and are preparing for post oil period. Our South East states have little or nothing to sustain us in the eventuality of a Biafra. Forget the oil in Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom. Those people are not our "brothers" as we usually tag them. Even the first secessionist state in Nigeria was crushed by an Igbo man... Aguiyi Ironsi They themselves have almost been rendered impotent by the Nigerian state of which the big 3 tribes are the champions in marginalization.

(7) Nobody is marginalising Igbos. We are marginalizing ourselves because we have refused to play smart politics. The Yorubas are better here. I must commend them for that. They are usually smart and play to the wind of what is in place. Those people saw on time that Jonathan is failed project and ran to align with North. The gamble favoured them. Mind you that prior before now, Buhari ha approached us with Chuba Okadigbo and that Nnewi man. We totally rejected him and labelled him a terrorist. He became a president and and appointed people the constitution mandated him to appoint. It is not a must we will be in his kitchen cabinet. Mind you that we labelled him a terrorist. If I were him, I wont appoint Igbo man oo. Period. Because we pose a threath to him. If you want, call me Afonja. Abum ezigbote nwafor Igbo. Anaghim atu ujo.
I swear.

[8] O Boy forget propaganda and fake news. Nobody offered Nnamdi Kanu any oil well and Vice President. That Young man na pure renegade, wounded lion and a failure that bought into the so called marginalization of the Igbos. Because some Igbos felt sidelined by Buhari, they now fell back on Nnamdi to get a pound of flesh. They don't necessarily want to pull out of Nigeria. If you doubt me, why are some of us giving subtle support for Atiku who is a well known...... let me leave it there.


(9) We Igbos atimes tend to be greedy oo. We have been licking this oil oo. The oil is not our own oo as we usually chest beat. Everybody has been licking it. Our politicians are now planning to lick this oil alone and sideline other tribes. Biafra can never work oo. If you doubt me, tell me why a state as small as Bayelsa with all its big federal allocation and 13% derivation still owing its workers? My eyes have opened that this is class warfare oo. Even if we get Biafra today, the same set of criminal elements will still not be satisfied even if you give them all.the oil wells!

(10) The so called SEDC failed at the house because of the arrogance of our representatives and senators. I may be wrong but don't be surprised that our politicians from the East failed to lobby others before submitting the application due to their chest beating and arrogance. We need to learn to work with other regions to achieve good things for our peopl back home. We see Yorubas as Afonjas and See Hausas as Animals. But I have come to discover that some Igbos are the ones becoming Animals oo.

(11) Even though am not an IPOB member but I have been an ardent sympathiser and supporter, I have gone come to discover that these people are Barbarians oo. Believe me when I tell you this. I have gone close to them to discover that these people are just waiting for rhe right time to become terrorists. They are metamorphosing. Believe me. And they will be more terrible than Boko Haram.

Ndigbo gekwanum nti. IPOB abughi ndi unu ga enye ochichi. They have already written down names of those they will kill when Biafra comes. Most times, you see them discuss about how they will revoke all lands and which buildings to pull down in order to build their Utopian Biafra. These young men are heartless oo.

(12) Most of the people you see screaming IPOB and Biafra online are jobless Igbo youths in Germany, Malaysia, Cambodia, London and CHINA. They are screaming war and battle from their room but they have nothig oo. IPOB is being funded by drug and illegal money. They also get legal money through brainwashing children of the poor and down trodden especially those from Ebonyi and Enugu. Believe me on this.

(13) I knew Nnamdi Kanu was mad the day he said he will go to Abuja and come back with Buharis head. That was when I started suspecting his sanity. You can't make such volatile comments against a presidency and expect to go scot free. He even went as far as floating a BSS.

(14) I swear down. Buhari is very tolerant and tried ooo. Forget all these brainwashing by Radio Biafra that Hausa hates us. Its a pure lie. Abum Ezigbote onye Igbo si Anambra. If I were the president and my powers wittled as Nnamdi tried to do Buhari, by now, I would have crushed the person oo.

(15) Forget these hoodlums like Fani Kayode, Fayose, Reno Omokri and other iddots that are playing Ludo with our emotions. These people don't love us. They are our real enemies. They only need us to distract Buhari government and when they achieve their aim, they will abandon us! Look at that foooolish Fayose that can't manage Ekiti wants to become president! Can you imagine? Fani Kayode the hoodlum is only looking for how PDP will come back so that he will continue looting. Same goes for reno omockri the criminal whose principal supervised the greatest lootocracy of modern times!

I will continue later....

Apologies to Madridguy, Sarrki and a host of others. Some of them like madridguy are true patriots. Am discovering this late.


NB
Before you tag me Afonja, I was a former hardcore Biafran Supporter, A lover Of Igbo and an IPOB sympathiser.

Abughi kwam onye Hausa ma obu Yoruba. Abum Onye Igbo. I have only decided to live above hate and start loving other Nigerians.

I didn't do this for likes or favour. I am doing this because I love my Igbo brother. Nnamdi Kanu wife and son don run go London. Mazi Kanu has disappeared. Our brainwashed brothers are still shouting Biafra or death and being used to test run the new weapons the Nigerian army bought. Mind you that the Nigerian army has Igbo people among them.

I am now Python Dancing. Ndi Igbo unu etufukwele ndu unu maka Nnamiidiot Kanu. We have been sharing oil money but our politicians have been stealing our own and not working. Hold your politicians responsible. Case closed!

Nwanne daalu.

If Kanu or any Igbo person wish to pursue Biafra cause, let him/her do so without inciting violence which endangers Ndigbo.

Watch it now, by this Python dance, all the inhabitants of South East are endangered. It becomes like a war- time situation such that you must be careful in talking, moving, socializing, driving, and even gathering.

Why do Ndigbo find themselves into this messy situation if not just because Nnamdi Kanu foolishly landed us into it.

One man should not land the entire Ndigbo into this trouble, he should repent or be removed.

Let's heed the content of the post I quoted.

For Ipob members attacking Hausa-fulani community in the east, I condemn them 100%.

But Soldiers ought not to shoot to kill in armed civilians IPOB or not.

What is suitable for the ipobs is to arrest them all and detain them in the prison where there head will cool off after a long time.

burkingx:

Why now?

Why have you photoshopped our leaders like this ?! ??

Mine is question:

@OP, what if two or three people in your office environment qualifies and acts as your 'work spouse'?

Will you carry all of them along? ( at least, making you have polygamous work environment) or will you select one and ignore the other(s)?

This is madness. What the hell is Kanu and co looking for.

They should all be arrested and retained until their heads cools off in the prisons.

What nonsense?

Udmaster:
Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east,
lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu,
a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos,
this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now,
even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start,
they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity!
ipob is sponsored by opposition party to disrupt buhari administration,
Igbos wake up! War is looming
Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring?
Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ?
Why cant Ipob reason with their brain?
Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance,
please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil opposition agent Kanu will be arrested?
What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again,
why making things difficult for ourselves?
seccesion is war because this is Africa,
and who are you secceeding with?
Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map,
go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA
Abum nwa afo Igbo,
a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi
ndewo nu

I concur!

Restructuring is the only option in benefit of both Ndigbo and Ndi ozo nile.

Ka anyi birinu n'udo.

Ndewo nuooooo!

Cars differ. Peugeot, Mercedes, Toyota, etc. All differs.

The more modern a car, the better in fuel efficiency under AC. But Peugeot is credited with high efficiency so that even under ac use, its less fuel consuming compared to other cars.
406 comes to mind here.

Those are men and women of great faith, indeed. Thanks OP

Please, I may sound awkward, but I want to know why Lala's name is always mentioned when snake thread is opened. Someone enlighten me pls.

I won't be tempted to believe our amiable Turakin Adamawa is joining wailers' club.

Isn't the forms exhausted yet?

WenysAD:
Dem for post d pix of the girl wey d guys got flogged for leading to d death of one of d suitors so we can decide if it was worth it

No, you already know that no matter the beauty of a Lady, a man should not die for her and vice versa.

This is one of the cultural practices that is obnoxious and run counter with our laws.

There is no basis for the contest, in as much as it endangers life, but they engaged in it any way. Now the father who allowed his son to venture in it is the complainant at the police.

Let's discourage such inhumane practices in our societies because we are now in twenty first century and we now value lives, unlike in the primitive days.

saintandsinnerz:
Lol, look at this one! You can keep on hating the Igbos while they keep on progressing. The only thing your hatred for Igbos has brought you is poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, almajiri, boko haram, extremism and giving birth like pigs! Just keep on hating them you hear, very soon you will go the way of others before you. By the way, you reversed the quit order because you're bloody parasites and cannot survive a day without the Igbos in the North. Have you forgotten that majority of your people are poor, hungry and lack basic education? Abeg go suck cow breast joor , that is the only thing you guys are good at.

Please, if really you are an Igbo person: I urge you to represent Ndigbo well.

You are right to say "Igbos are progressive" but you failed to remember that progressive people loves all and do not occupy their heart with hatred.

A true Igbo person speaks with the voice of moderation. That is what myself and my Igbo folks stand for. Please join us and be a voice of moderation.

Stop hating the way you have exhibited. Please JOIN THE VOICES OF MODERATION.

I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF COMING TOGETHER OF ALL TRIBES AND LANGUAGES IN NIGERIA TO DIALOGUE AND AGREE ON HOW BEST NIGRRIA WILL MOVE FORWARD AND ENGENDER HOLISTIC PROSPERITY FOR ALL CITIZENRY.

LET ALL AND SUNDRY SUPPORT THE DIALOGUE APPROACH. IT IS STILL THE BEST OPTION FOR COLLECTIVE GOOD OF IGBO, HAUSA, YORUBA, AND OTHERS.

Reference:
Under this structure, corruption can never end. How can a whole Auditor General say 'he forgot' to audit the one and only account the government has. The singular financial achievement this government trumpets everywhere. He forgot indeed but has not forgotten to collect his wages the past two years....next please.

Your surprise is similar to mine.
If auditor general forgets to audit the only account the government is using to keep or hide funds; what then is he doing? Or what has he not forgotten?

One may have to look at his tittle again "Auditor General"?

THERE IS ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN OF CONCERN TO ME, AND I THINK ALL NIGERIANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED TOO. THAT IS:

GEJ WAS LABELLED CORRUPT;
NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA WAS ALIKE LABELLED.

BUT I GAVE THEM BOTH KUDOS FOR ONE THING:
THAT IS BECAUSE THEY LEFT CLEAR RECORDS OF ALL THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE GOVEENMENT DURING THEIR TENURE.

IT HAS NOT BEEN DIFFICULT FOR THE PRESENT APC-LED ADMINISTRATION TO FIND THE RECORDS OF ALL MONIES (BOTH INFLOWING & OUTFLOWING) OTHERWISE CALLED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.

NOW, MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS APC-LED ADMINISTRATION MAY NOT LEAVE NIGERIANS, AND INFACT, NEXT ADMINISTRATION WITH SUFFICIENT RECORDS OF INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.

IT WILL BE FATALLY DANGEROUS FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT CAME WITH CHANGE MANTRA, PROMISING BETTER DEAL FOR NIGERIANS, IF THEY LEAVE OFFICE AT THE END WITHOUT CLEAR DOCUMENTATION OF HOW FAR (WHETHER BETTER WORSE) NIGERIA FAIRED UNDER THEIR WATCH.

I CAN'T IMMAGINE LAI MOHAMMED EXPLAINING THAT.

[quote author= post=59139050]If you have your own credible, peer-reviewed studies refuting those, post them. No one cares about your illiterate claims that posture as fact. All available studies suggest homosexuals in advanced countries are better educated, wealthier, more law-abiding and conscious of their civic duties and their struggles against discrimination and ostracism only enhances their empathy and solidarity with other oppressed groups in society. People like you that think your sexuality is indicative of your moral core are utterly mooronic cretins. I'm heterosexual, just like 97% or thereabouts of society. I never made a conscious choice to be heterosexual. There was no time in my life when I made a moral choice to be heterosexual. I simply grew up knowing I was attracted to girls and not boys. That doesn't somehow make me any morally superior to someone whose body chemistry makes them more inclined towards homosexuality. Those who cannot empathize with the feelings of others are the ones who should feel the shame. At your core, you're no less vile than a white supremacist that thinks black people are sub-humans.

Oh, and while homosexuality will always be in the minority of sexual expression, it is far from "unnatural". Apart from the fact, it is as old as man's existence, most mammal species show homosexuality in a minority of the population.

That second bolded quote is the most reetarded of all your reetarded moralizing. You might as well ask, what happens if every woman is barren. Homosexuality will always be in the minority. I don't see the point of such foolish conjecture. Relationships are not just about procreation except to illiterate Africans. No wonder our continental population comes close to doubling every 20 years in the midst of poverty and backwardness.[/quote]#Obi1kenobi, you are demanding for an authority from me because you cannot think for yourself. Pls start thinking for yourself by yourself.

Signs of illiteracy is all over your comments-abbusive words.

You may wish to go back to school, and become learned, not just schooled

MadCow1:
Hehehehehee... First of all doubt homosexuality is enticing to straight people same way women are not enticing to a Gay Man.

All Homosexuals don't need to hide their heads in shame for something they can't seem to control. I say so because I can't control my heterosexuality, if I see a fine woman, all I think of is making sweet love to her and making her call on the name of God and scream and groan, begging me to stop and keep going in the same sentence whilst I am putting in work on her and sweating like a pig. So if Homosexuality is anything like mine, then they can't help themselves. Their Brains are programmed to like the same sex.

Preferring Polygamy to Homosexuality is comparing Apple's and Oranges. Homosexuals can also be polygamous. They also cheat on each other like heterosexuals. So that preference does not hold in this matter.

Natural lifestyle is what supports life on earth and that's true. But here is the thing, natural lifestyle also gave birth to homosexuals. Every homosexual on earth was born by a sperm and an egg. So if you say make them extinct then we would have to start killing our children that develop into homosexuals. So I say why stop their. Autism isn't natural behaviour either, dwarfs are not natural humans either, so are conjoined twins, Heamaphrodites, Albinos, children born with deformities and more. So do we kill them to make them extinct? Or should we leave them alone. Now if your statement is based on adoption of kids in that maybe kids adopted by homosexuals will turn out homosexuals then you need to provide research to back that up because there is nothing to prove such. Homosexuality isn't an acquired behaviour like smoking a cigarette, it is a part of the person. I know a Nigerian kid that I went to secondary school with and that kid was born and raised in a straight and very christian home but he was more effeminate that even girls. He walked like a girl, talked like a girl, acted like a girl complete with feminine mannerisms and it didn't matter the amount of teasing and bullying he got from the guys he just never could change. Till today he is still the same even though he tries to really hard to blend in. Many times i have looked back and regretted the way I bullied that Boy. He is about my age and still not married even though he still has more female friend than I do.

Orphanages have been proven time and time again to not be good environment to raise a well adjusted child. This your point is very moot and not worth the effort. Orphanages can't even be compared to a home with a single parent let alone two loving adults.

You say If homos loved or could love children why have they chosen to be homos.. First problem there is they haven't chosen to be homos, they just are. Secondly even many straight couples have said they don't want children and have stayed so. There is no point using your prejudice against homosexuals from depriving less privileged children of a loving home. That just makes you evil. It's not like you are adopting all of them. That bag of rice and carton of noodles you take to them once in a blue moon does not substitute for the deprivation of a home they feel. That bag of rice does not hold their hands when they are sick or make den fresh breakfast in the morning or stands at the door waiting for them when they return from school. That income does not comb their hair or tuck them into bed at night. You need to check yourself bro.

Your comment that the joy of easing a child is felt when you are the biological parent just made my jaw drop. A lot of women who are straight up barren will read that comment and feel like killing themselves. You my friend really need Jesus.


Finally, the whole world can never turn homosexuals. And if the world was going to turn gay, it wouldn't be because we allowed homosexuals live a free life, it would most likely be mother nature playing the switcharoo on us and in that case we are all royally fhucked.


Seriously Bro, You need two things; A brain and Jesus. Get them.

Mmmmhh!
I have two comments for you:
1) Its good and reassuring to know you are not gay yourself. Thank God you are natural and can use your God-given d**k to feel nature. Keep it up. Do not change pls, or else, you will not follow us go to heaven. You will rot in hell fire rather, but may God forbid.

2). I have taken you as an activist (human right activist) who speaks for the rights of others.

However, will you be an activist who campaign for the right of people whose lifestyle contradicts the will of God?

Am now making reference to the will of God because you said I needed Jesus. I assume therefore that you are not a satanist.

So bro, if you are not a satanist, why will you campaign for the right of the ungodly who chose to go against God and His purpose for humanity?

If you chose to side devilish acts against God's will, it follows that even if some people chooses to feed on human flesh, provided they always arrange for persons who offer themselves willingly to be eaten by their group members; people like you will come out to say it isn't wrong because their meal offered himself for the carnivorous cause.

ALL ACLAIMED RIGHTS ARE WRONG IF IT GOES EXTREME.
Take note bro.

PLEASE ACCEPT JESUS NOW. I CAN BE OF HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Nota bane: I have not used abusive word or you, let's maintain maturity in this discuss.

nurey:
If you have a blow out at low speed all your statement is ok

If you have blown out tire at high speed 100km/h plus, the story is different as only God will determine the outcome also depending on the tire location and i prefer you lift your leg from the accelerator and maintain gear in drive not neutral so engine braking will take effect immediately, driving in neutral disengages engine braking now imagine going down a slope

You are right. He too is. Combination of both approaches is needed with wisdom

The guy in black in the 3rd picture whose shirt reads "kill them.." Is standing in a lady's posture.

Just watch him, that is an effeminate kind of body posture.

cosade:
What does the scholarly research say about the wellbeing of children with gay or lesbian parents?

Overview: We identified 79 scholarly studies that met our criteria for adding to knowledge about the wellbeing of children with gay or lesbian parents. Of those studies, 75 concluded that children of gay or lesbian parents fare no worse than other children.

This madcow1 and co should not entice any one here with the perverse lifestyle of homosexuality.

All homosexuals should hide their face in shame.

I rather endorse poligamy than encourage homosexuality. At least, the former is natural while the later is unnatural.

Natural lifestyles is what supports life on earth. Unnatural lifestyles leads to extinction.

For those clamoring for legalisation of homosexuality, arguing that they can adopt children and nurture such children better than the orphanage homes; its all lie and fallacy.

If homos loved or can love children, why have they chosen the lifestyle that makes it impossible for them to have children of their own?

The joy of raising children is natural and full only when a person holds and nurture his own genetically sperm/ womb originated child. The rest isn't as pleasurable as this.

My Question:
If homosexuality is the way to go; what happens if everyone turns gay?
Who will born the children to be adopted?
Oh, they will now resort to cloning, isn't it?

The guy in black in the 3rd picture whose shirt reads "kill them.." Is standing in a lady's posture.

Just watch him, that is an effeminate kind of body posture.

ugly sissies...the one on red trousers@ the third pix,is still imagining how to drill,that Guy's ass...nonsense

You are funny.
Iam still baffled that people (esp. Men) can chose this perversion.

How do they feel?

NNAMDI KANU CALLED ME A HUNGRY SLAVE RESIDING IN LAGOS AND I HAVE FOUND THE NEED TO TELL MY STORY AGAIN FOR RECORD PURPOSES. I WANT NNAMDI TO TELL HIS OWN STORY TOO. PLEASE READ THIS:

In 1971, after my primary school education, poverty drove me to Lagos to find something to do to help my poor mother and siblings. Civil War devastated my father’s thriving business in Onitsha and we all suffered from 1966 to 1970 when the war ended.

With four wives and 34 children, my parents could not cope any more. My brothers and sisters dropped out of school to learn a trade. Because I was a little ‘sharp’ in school, my father encouraged me to finish primary school. It is needless here to recall how I and few of my siblings survived to finish our primary education. Consequently when my mates were taking Common Entrance Examination, I did not because there was no need to do so. No money, no three square meals a day, no good clothing, just nothing.

My mother encouraged me to travel with friends to Lagos. We landed at Sawmill Ebute Metta where I worked as a sawdust carrier at seven Shilling, six Pence a day. My job was to pack sawdust from the Machines to the Lagoon from 7am to 5 pm daily. I did this for nearly two years and later I became a danfo conductor plying Idioro/Ajegunle axis. From there I joined my brother in a supermarket business at Ijesha Road, Surulere. I did this until I returned home during Christmas in December 1973. I came home to meet my friends I was beating academically in school trying to make me feel and look inferior. Again I also noticed while in Lagos that if I fail to go to school, I may end up doing menial jobs meant for illiterates till the end of age. I decided to go back to school to add values to my life. But where are the school fees? There was nothing. How I managed to get the first school fee to start and what happened thereafter will take a book to do the narrative.

In 1979 I left Okongwu Memorial Grammar School Nnewi with Division One and was the school Head Boy. I taught in the same school as an Auxiliary Teacher from 1979 – 1980. In 1980 I got admission to read Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nigeria Nsukka and graduated in 1985. I did my Youth Service in Ogun State and thereafter I returned to Lagos in 1986 to begin a journey to where I am today. I walked the streets of Lagos from 1986 – 1988 until the then military government headed by Gen Ibrahim Babangida set up the National Directorate of Employment, (NDE) to encourage graduates to start their own businesses. I got a loan of N27,500, using my NYSC discharge Certificate and my Degree Certificate as collateral at 9% interest rate. I set up a Restaurant Business in Western Avenue, Lagos and hit an instant success. While doing this business, I spread my nets also to the auto spare parts market in Lawanson, Surulere where my brother thrives as a very successful importer. I opened a shop there and got a boy to take charge of the business. From there, I entered into Auto dealership in Western Avenue Surulere. I paid back that loan in full and collected back my certificates.

In 1995, I wrote my first book, Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra. I also established National Vision Newspapers in 1997. In 1999, I wrote my second book: Heroes of Democracy. In 2004 I co-authored 2007: The IBB Option with my good friend, Peter Claver Oparah. One thing led to another. I became an opinion molder, a public commentator, political analyst, writer and an advocate of the peoples’ cause. I bought my first car in 1990 and became a millionaire in 1995 after launching of my first book.

In 2006, the then Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made me the pioneer General Manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) and I was there for almost 10 years. I served Asiwaju’s government for the remainder of his days as Lagos Governor. I served His Excellency Governor Babatunde Fashola for 8years. In September 2015, His Excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode moved me to Wharf Landing Fees Collecting Authority Apapa as Chairman. I became the Publicity Secretary AC, ACN, and APC since late 2006 till date. By the grace of God I have been the Chairman of Conference of APC Publicity Secretaries (CAPS) in Nigeria since 2014.

These positions and exploits have put me in the limelight in Lagos and Nigeria since the early 90s, and God has been kind to me. These offices have opened the doors of the rich and poor to me. They have opened the inner ways,byways, subways, expressways and highways to the corridors of power in Nigeria. I have been connected to the pace setters, policy makers, the movers and shakers of blue chip companies, newsmakers and the powers that be in Lagos. The magic of Lagos, the beauty of Lagos, the dynamics of Lagos, the glory of Lagos, the momentum of Lagos, the capacity, capability and the strength of Lagos touched me in no uncertain terms since 1986 (32years ago) till date…..and still counting.

My sojourn in Lagos for 32 years has also opened my eyes as a historian as to what Lagos has done for my people from South East. Today as I write this Igbo do not have a quarter of what they have in Lagos in the South East in terms of investments. As I write this book, Igbo are the second most populous ethnic group in Lagos. Today, Igbo exert tremendous influence and capacity in Lagos and its success story. Few years back two prominent sons of Nnewi told me in confidence that they did not know they have been wasting their time in Nnewi until they came to Lagos. They said Lagos opened doors for limitless opportunities and endless possibilities. I have seen people come from other parts of Nigeria to hit gold mine in Lagos.

I got married in 1990 and all my five kids are all Lagosians and so are millions of Igbo kids born in Lagos. They have lived most of their lives in Lagos, schooled in Lagos, worked in Lagos, made friends in Lagos and have keyed to the Lagos success story. They know any other place except Lagos. Lagos is their home. This is not limited to Igbo alone but all other ethnic groups and of course Yoruba from outside Lagos. Lagos is a melting pot, a mega city, a cosmopolitan beehive. Lagos controls the heartbeat of Nigeria, its wealth, its influence and its strategic socio-economic and political hub. Lagos changed my thinking and original thoughts, Lagos emboldened me, Lagos motivated me, Lagos challenged me and Lagos made me. I can say no less. This is the story of Lagos, my Lagos. It is still unraveling, not for me alone but millions of other Nigerians, to the glory of God."

Igbokwe you have done well.
You became an asset to your self and to your family. Then to Lagos state.

Kanu has no wonderful story like this to tell.

Atiku is known to be in APC.
When did he return to PDP?

Emereolevanwill:
no time , if you are Igbo come home.

OK!

The best way is still to budget your spendings then follow it religiously

paschu:
You are content about your present. You are confident about the future of your children. Those are the only two things you are craving to protect. You don't care one bit about the collective destiny of Ndigbo neither are you bothered about the future welfare of their posterity.

Unfortunately for you and your ilks, millions of Igbos (unlike you) are not content with their present circumstances neither are they confident about their children's future.

So, you see, my friend, there is no longer a place for the status quo. And rest assured that there won't be any war because it takes two to fight. And IPOB is not ready for any arms struggle. Not in this generation, and not as long as NK is still alive.

My friend, it is good you do not abuse people like the others.

My concern is on the safety and welfare of Ndigbo, not that I am comfortable with the status quo

NwaAmaikpe:


I respect Nnamdi KANU,
I believe in Biafra
But I am a blunt non-hypocritical realist.

Nnamdi KANU is taking this too far,
After watching the Owerri video today with soldiers I was very unsettled.

It's a very thing line between bravery and insanity.
He should not dare armed soldiers and policemen please!!!

He tried it in Ebonyi,
He's done it again in IMO
He might not be so lucky.

I commend the young soldier who restrained himself despite the taunts and abuses.
Nnamdi KANU, please, please stop courting trouble.
The IPOB crowd can even be infiltrated and they will disturb the peace with soldiers who will be left with no option than to defend themselves.

Long life Biafra.

Iam no supporter of Ipob/Nnamdi Kanu.
Whatever Kanu believes himself to be doing; let him slow it down and give wisdom/superior reasoning a chance.

However, the Arewa youths are already exceeded their right to freedom of speech. How can few young people assemble together to order the office of the Acting President on what to do, even with ultimatum

For Ordering the Acting president on what to do with ultimatum, the youths are also qualified for arrest too.

That is my problem with Nigerians, the do feel they know better and can act better than the constituted authority.

Nnamdi Kanu has been overzealous in what he is doing. The Arewa youths seems to be hell- bent on causing trouble worse than what Kanu is doing.

I ask: BUT WHY
