That's not a coat but rather a suit.

Bros you are correct. Chief Kemte Giadom was Ogoni not Ijo.

He.Could have been, we all call them Ijaw by omission. I met him in the early 80s at Obi Wali's residence in Port Harcourt during the NPP days.

Duru1:
The bolded is not true. The name, Biafra, for the eastern region of Nigeria was suggested by Chief Frank Opigo, an Ijo man, former principal of Okirika Grammar School, former administrator of Yenagoa Province of Biafra and Minister of Natural Resources in Biafra.

Ok, let's agree to disagree. I should know as not only that I was around at the time but my father was a member of the assembly and special assistant to Ojukwu through out the war as a major.

What do you mean by stealing in his name? Are you forced to drop offerings or tithe? Once you have given money or anything in the house of God it's no longer your business what it's used for. If it's your practice to keep poking your nose into what use the money is put, sorry you have simply wasted that money because it means you never gave it whole-heartedly in the first place and no blessing shall accrue from such.

What makes that venue the house of God? Stealing is not only done through the use of force. 429iers never you force, do they?

Rotteness will always attract dirty flies. When their so called churches becomes like a bank it will definitely attract the undesirable elements.
The Ak 47 armed robbers were only robbing the Bible armed robbers inside their cave of thieves.

Asiri1991:
I always taught on how names are generated particularly in Igbo land. For every name in Igbo land, the must be something that is synonimous to it. Eg, "Ebonyi" from the river - ebonyi,"Enugu" from the hills of Udi, "Anambra" from the Anam people, etc. How did our father come up with the name - BIAFRA? No insult please.

The word Biafra is a geographical term that has existed well before the formation of Nigeria.
Just like the geographical terms like gulf of Guinea or gulf of Mexico, so too is the Bight of Biafra.
After the civil war Nigeria authorities renamed the term as the Bight of Bonny.
Biafra as the name for independent state was first suggested by Chief Kemte Giadom (an Ijaw man) on the floor of the old Eastern Regional Assembly. It was debated and was overwhelmingly adopted and was recommended to the executive that adopted it. Not Ojukwu's idea as many are meant to believe.

delugajackson:
Biafra is a failed state and will forever remain a failed state..Nigeria will remain one.,period!

Can't you have Nigeria without those that do not want to have it as you?
It seems you love the choice you made but hate another person making his own choice as you.
I don't understand this obsession with Biafra. Are you people telling me that Nigeria cannot functions without Biafra in it?
If that is the case, why not boldly tell Biafra that you cannot imagine existing without them, maybe they will then rethink or call your bluff?
Outside of that reasoning, I cannot understand the rationale of forcing one Nigeria on everyone in this 21st century.
It doesn't make any sense. You cannot force anyone to love you or be relationship with you if they don't want to. Having that choice does not in any way threatened your own existence.

Based on its foundational history, Nigeria should have by now had a referendum on its existence. It will make it more secure than pretending to love each other when the opposite is the case. They can easily even rig the out come as they normally do, if they wish. One Nigeria desperately need a measure of legitimacy which it hasn't get.
You can keep a gas by pressure storing it, but there is a limit to what pressure you should exert to contain the gas before it explodes.

If the the Scottish people were not allowed to have their referendum by the UK government, the Scottish National Party would still be saying now that majority of Scottish people wanted independent. But now they cannot say that anymore.

Nigeria should swallow their fear and give Biafra people a referendum with a straight choice question on the ballot : Do you want to remain part of Nigeria or an Independent state? and that will put to bed the idea of Biafra, if the majority, even by one vote said No!.

Banning Radio Biafra won't solve it. Soon they will be broadcasting through a free to air news TV channel. And then what?

worksmart:
How is the section of my post you quoted anything to do with imagination?

All of it.

worksmart:
PMB has not attended any live public events where his presence could be confirmed by ordinary Nigerians.

These live public events includes:

Live press conference where he answers any questions on current issues.

NAss , that he was expected to inaugurate.

Armed forces day ceremony which was attended by Osinbajo instead.

Meeting with APC lawmakers that caused their absence in the NAss chambers at the time Saraki and Dogara were being selected as house leaders.

Has anybody seen the Facebook story in which an organisation says that PMB is being secretly detained under house arrest?

This could explain the mystery.

Why not seek a professional help?

Whats the difference between an 'Official Visit' and a 'State Visit'

It will cost you , I tell you, go and do some research.

Did I just read the name Marilyn Ogar about a PDP complaint? Wow! How time changes.
Zik did say it that " No condition is permanent".

major466:
while some Nigerians are making noise obout Buhari's scheduled trip to America, Americans are not even bothered about Buhari's coming. Apart from State Officials, most Americans have no idea that a Nigerian President is coming to their country.
Funny how Nigerian media houses make a big deal out of Buhar's scheduled visit to United States when the US media organizations are preocupied with more important matters like the Confiderates.

Why would the US media make noise about it and what sort of noise?
It's an official visit and not a state visit.

Just be careful on what you wished for. Because, next time he might just pick your honourable senator Kashamu to accompany him, then you will whine again.

chukwudi44:
You are a big fool. Buhari's forgery case is yet to be settled, we are yet to an authentication letter from WAEC

Thanks for the name calling sir/madame.
If it's has not been settled in your own personal court, probably it got something to do with you having nothing serious in your life to occupy your thoughts, hence busy trying to settle a non issue in the first place.
Even Olisa Metuh or Fayose's of this world has moved on from that, but you here scratching your back side pimples about certificate.

Am not an Arsenal fan but I have to say that it seemed that this guys life had never been the same since he left that club for more money.
It goes to show that more money does not guarantee happiness and content. In life, often we always thinks that it's greener on the other side while it isn't.

Whatever you are doing in life, there is nothing like being comfortable in your working environment and that trickles down to other parts of your life including your personal relationships and family.

This is why I called those calling on Lionel Messi to leave Barcelona in order to prove himself to them stupid. As you can see that he has a comfortable relaxed life in the club he joined as a boy. Why uproot it , just to prove something to foolish people?

Am sure that, if Adebayor had stayed with Arsenal, maybe he wouldn't be where he is now, thinking that Islam will solve his problems.

nightmile:
Yoruba nation will not defend any of her citizen found accused of wrong doing. See bigot Igbo tribe already defending the criminal.

Really, so you admitted that Yoruba got criminals too, I thought you are all saints? Lol

anwo247:
After Buhari's certificate forgery, I don't take forgery as anything serious in nigeria



Mtcheeeeew

Which certificate did Buhari forged? I thought that election is fought and won, and politics over and people can get their thinking caps back? Obviously some people are still deluded.

highmood:
where was the constitution when Buhari certificate saga came up. Where was the police. Even, the court could not speak any more? Who is fooling who in this country? Bunch of Nitwits!

A saga PDP created for politic and some who cannot think for themselves bought the nonsense.

Tolexander:
cos forgery is a crime!

When the IGP went to lock out the Pro-Tambuwal members of the house from entering the Green Chamber, these same people were the one praising the then IG, telling us it was constitutional.

Exactly, I never thought about that. If one poo in the middle of the road while traveling, while returning, flies will welcome him. If you abused the law because you are in power, one day you will be out of power and harvest what you planted when you were on top.

Karlman:
What's IGP's business in house rules?




IGP should not let himself be used by APC



IN FACT EKWEREMADU SHOULD IGNORE HIM



LET APC DO THEIR WORST, EKWEREMADU IS DSP TILL 2019

By the virtue of the Nigeria constitution, IG is Nigeria chief law enforcement officer and forgery supposed to come under his jurisdiction. Any more questions?

I thought it's the tribunal court judges that determines election petitions? So what has INEC hit person got to do with it?

shachris:
You brain seem jammed. I said, we do not care what they are transmitting with. And who ever said we are going to use analogue to jam? We are not going to set up an FM station to jam, if that's what you mean. The technology is way above what your scammy director can fathom. Wait till they give us the go ahead.

What if they jam yours, since you are an expert on radio frequency technology?
. Have you asked yourself why the late dictator Abacha could neither find nor jam Radio Kudirath in those days?

You cannot be this ignorant talking something you knew next to nothing about.
You lot are pissing on yourself about a radio station, what will you do when Biafra News 24 satellite free to air TV still under construction is ready? Poo on yourself?

shachris:
silly. We are not worried about what ever tech they are using to transmit. FM transmission is pretty archaic and very jammable. We would jam their signals on close ranges, in the SE. Had it being they are using DRM or DAB+ i would have being very worried.

Who or what is this effing we?
