Ebenezer Akwanga, the human rights activist and former political prisoner, in the interview granted to the IBTimes UK has said that Biafra movement in Nigeria may join its forces with Southern Cameroon to achieve independence.

Akwanga supposes that human right violations of secessionist mobvements in Southern Cameroons are the same.

The man, who is now the president of the Southern Cameroons Youth League, was imprisoned and tortured in 1977 in Cameroon for six years due to his political activism.

The activist believes his people might collaborate with pro-Biafrans in south-eastern Nigeria, who are also willing to become independent.

“Political sequences took place which affected our culture, language, traditions, everything that makes us a people,” he saidhttp://www.bengist247.com/2016/02/biafra-cameroon-may-fight-for.html?m=0

PPP To Buhari, NASS: Commence Referendum For Biafra Agitators

The Peoples Progressives Party (PPP) has called on the federal government and the National Assembly to, as a matter of national urgency, immediately commence the process to organize a free and fair referendum on the issue of Biafra, saying such step will avert the tide of ongoing killings and bleedings in the country.
A statement issued in Abuja on Monday, the national chairman of PPP, Dr. Damian Uzoma Ogbonna, said Nigeria must abide by its obligation under the UN Charter and international law to approve an orderly referendum to address the Biafra question, adding that such is the only way to a fair, lasting and enduring solution.
“Nigeria is a signatory to the Charter of the United Nations; Article 1 of the UN Charter states that nations, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no external compulsion or interference.
“We acknowledge that this universal principle does not state how the decision is to be made, or what the outcome should be; whether it be independence, federation, confederation, protection, some form of autonomy or full assimilation; which allows every signatory to the Charter, such as Nigeria, the obligation to address the needs of the Charter on the basis of its own peculiar circumstance.
“We make haste to add that this principle is enshrined for the very same purpose of avoiding attrition amongst member nations of a state; tending towards civil wars, genocide, deaths and human rights abuses of all kinds and manners. By virtue of this, right a nation is provided with the option to freely determine their political status and to freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
“PPP therefore calls on the Nigerian Government and the National Assembly to, as a matter of national urgency, immediately commence the process to organize a free and fair referendum on the issue of Biafra. This has become necessary in order to stem the tide of ongoing killings and bleedings in our country.
“No union should exist under the barrels of a gun!”

That some Nigerians derive joy/comic relief from trivial things such as these, clearly shows how pathetic and sad their lives must be in reality.

This act alone from a so called examination body, shows what an epic fail our education sector is.

Nuells:
Oh, Lawd! Save the "sophiscated"

segalex:
How did they carry out their study? I've spent over 20 years of my entire life time in ekiti and I'm proud to say this study does not in anyway represents the true picture here in the state.
I cannot remember the last time I saw a house without toilet, yea most of the toilets are pit latrines especially in the small towns but that they don't toilets at all? nothing can be father from truth than this

Aigbofa:
What type of brain numbing journalism is this from a supposedly reputable newspaper?
How was this study carried out? Ekiti is arguably one of the neatest states in Nigeria.
The writer of this junk must be high on some very potent weed.

Ekiti State is believed to have the highest of persons who openly defecate in Nigeria About 1.8 million residents of the state out of a total population of 2.7 million is believed to engage in the menace.

In her presentation, a Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS) facilitator and a staff of Rural Water Sanitation Agency in the state, Mrs. Lanre Ayeni, said 748 million of the global population, lack access to hygienic water supply.

She added it was so regrettable that 1.8 billion people still use contaminated sources of water, which she said has caused a lot of damage to their health and body systems.

“When you take a water that has contaminated by cheat (faeces), the person will have ten million viruses, one million bacteria and one hundred thousand parasite eggs in her body system.

“Advocacy for open defecation free in Ekiti and good water sanitation is yielding results. Enforcement in the past by CLTS coordinators had failed, what we now use is persuasion and people are gradually changing their perception about this concept.”

Mohsena, who disclosed that several achievements have been recorded through UNICEF/EU WASH programme in Ekiti, using Gbonyin and Ekiti West as pilot councils in advocacy for open defecation Free and WASH, said the two international organisations have been funding the programme and rendering technical supports.

“In Ekiti, an estimated number of 180,000 people are gaining access to good source of water through provision of hand pump boreholes. In the same way, 29,582 people in Ekiti have gained access to safe water through rehabilitation of 65 hand pumps in Gbonyin. 965 pupils from four schools now have access to child and gender friendly water supply.

“We have also bring improvement to 250 towns and communities in ODF by providing ten toilets per public. We have also provided technical supports in 313 communities, for them to know various ways to build and take ownership of low cost latrines and how to repair them in case of damage.

“Stakeholders would continue to step up sensitisation and advocacy in rural areas on the need to key into the total eradication of open defecation, to forestall breakout of diseases.”

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and European Union (EU) have lamented that over 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation globally, out of which one billion were engaging in open defecation.

They said these at the weekend during a two-day media networking and alliance building workshop on organised by European Union/UNICEF on Water Sanitation and Hygiene and Open Defecation Free campaign held at Ijero Ekiti, Ijero Local Government area of Ekiti State.

The UNICEF/EU delegation, led by Mohsena Islam, a WASH specialist from UNICEF, went on a field trip with Ekiti Media WASH group to Asasa and Temidire Olojofi farm settlements in Aramoko Ekiti, to assess compliance with the campaign against open defecation. CLTS Coordinator in Gbonyin, Mr. Kayode Eleso, said many residents have been arrested and prosecuted for engaged in open defecation, particularly in Ado Ekiti metropolis, while efforts, he said, were also on to compel every household to have their toilets.

He regretted that low manpower in the sector was responsible for the noticeable inefficiency of his officers , saying records show that no staff has been recruited since Ekiti was created on October 1, 1996.”

THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS NOT THE FOREIGN RESERVES . THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS HER PRIORITIES OR LACK OF.
Indonesia under Suharto was equally very corrupt but what did their corrupt official spend the stolen money on ?
What did they spend the money they did not steal on?
Did they carry their beggar's bowl around the world asking for help or foreign investors?




Scarce resources( whether private or public) are spent on luxuries or the wrong stuffs .
When I called out the consistent waste of money on Abuja ( a place that does not and has never produced any wealth ) and comparing it to the modesty of Canberra Australia ,I was criticised. some people will never understand the concept . The concept is so simple . Will you keep investing money in a business that does not return a profit .
Canberra was built to complement Brisbane , Sydney Adelaide.
Apart from a few government buildings , no further development was forced or had tax payers money wasted on it . It grew organically .
In Nigeria's case , a significant chunk of capital spending ( I won't be surprised if it approaches 40%) has been wasted since the 70's , forcing development on the place . Yet , Abuja Is still not producing any wealth.



From the leaders to the little man on the street .
I see someone about to be a guest of EFFC.
Unemployable people always have a way of getting right to the top in Nigeria .
A couple of weeks ago , I made mention of the fact that Nigeria suffers from a dearth of competent managers.
Those with good management skills never get to the top
If you look closely at the likes of Dangote and Globacom man , the critical department in their businesses are manned by expatriates. They employ Nigerians in positions where they cannot cause damage.
I have read many articles from Nigerian economists.
Most of them have been arguing about the theories. None of them have been able to answer my question .
How much does the social implication of official devaluation cost ?

1 How would the increase imported fuel prices from official devaluation affect the entire economy .

2 Most Nigerians have never seen a dollar bill in their lives .Their entire existence is based on locally made items . Food is about the most important thing on their worry list . Of what benefit is devaluation to these people .


3 Civil servants and minimum wage earners will see their income halved . based on the locally manufactured items they buy on a daily basis .


I have no time to type more but ,

Nigeria seems to have a 2 track economy .
One that works for the wealthy and politicians and the foreign powers that control them , and the other economy which does not work at all , come rain,come shine , for the masses .
Nigerian elites have had it so good that they want the gravy train to continue even if it keeps impoverishing the people .


I insist that Buhari must not listen to them ,
You can tell a banana republic by simply looking at the country's list of imports ,and comparing that list to the country's list of natural resources .
Almost all the Asian tigers have little or no natural resource , import raw material and machine ,machine tools and export finished goods . Nigeria on the other hand ........
As we speak , they are not asking for a change of behaviours , they are asking for devaluation ( as if that will improve the underlying problem .

All the brain-dead governors always running about for foreign investment and who keep handing construction contracts to foreigner (as if those people will not remove the money from the economy later) , Can anyone tell me how long it takes to train and equip the youth to handle such things .
It is only in Nigeria that the youths are not good enough , Nigerian engineer abroad all seem to be getting the job done .
