At least two suspected armed robbers.

Reports made available to NjenjeMediaNews revealed that the suspects came on a motorcycle, allegedly robbed some residents at Awada of undisclosed amount of money, phones and other valuables and shot sporadically in the air to scare people before escaping.

How more daft will ezeoke of njeje media and udele appear? Just read again, albeit slowly the report above, and ask yourself how that is connected to enforcing sit at home. Some of you are actually dumb and can't read, talk-less of comprehending.

[quote author=Buckeyemedia1 post=109549613]

What concerns me whether he is ipob or not? Whether you like it or not in your self denial he isn’t seeing freedom anytime soon.

Illiterate, learn to read, and comprehend first. Why are you parasites allergic to education and at ease with street begging?

Buckeyemedia1:
You kindergarten ranting about what?, whether he is ipob or Ohaneze, he is going to Prison for a very long time 25 years & more, only a presidential pardon will grant him an early release.

Zombie brain, make quick and jail him already, why are you fools postponing his judgment? Isn't he in your custody? Perhaps, you brainless furadenunu zombies don't have a prison in your dungeon?

Buckeyemedia1:
How can he deny that he is the leader of ipob worldwide like he rightly claims in his propaganda videos?

His owns words will be used against him in his indictment.

Illiterate zombie. When will you ever learn to read, talk-less of comprehending?

Buckeyemedia1:
He is the law onto himself, I wonder why he did not try these nonsense in Britain who are the people that joined Ndigbo with Nigeria?

So you have been disappointed? So it' was actually a fake news and you were ranting all over the www? Time to show your useful idiot anger.

Muna4real:
You need to see them on twitter, happy about the fake news. What's there to be happy about? These bmc people won't stop amusing me.

That's how zombies behave. Like flock of sheep. Brainless!!

*To Those Insinuating Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Denied IPOB*

Common sense is not common and in all thy getting, get understanding. I will briefly state this clear;

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is NOT a member of “PROSCRIBED IPOB” and will not accept that in any court of Law. Why must the Government, attach the word “PROSCRIBE” to IPOB? How on earth do you expect an intellectual like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to accept being a member of “A Terrorist group IPOB”? NO.....

He is an IPOB activist, not a member of proscribed IPOB or Terrorist group. Now, every IPOB activists must take note of this, when arraigned in any Court or asked by anyone. We are IPOB activists/Family members, not Proscribed IPOB members or Terrorist group called IPOB.
Not accepting a negative tag on your Biafraness, doesn’t mean you denied your originality. He is challenging the baseless proscription, Terrorist tag and when allowed to speak, will prove to the Court, he is an Indigenous Person Of Biafra, hence no negativity should be tagged to that glorious name.

The prosecutor Mr Labaran, must savvy that, Self determination is a constitutional right, hence no Terrorist tag should be glued to any movement exercising such inalienable right, if he anticipates an acceptance. Don’t tag proscription or Terrorism to IPOB, we don’t belong to that class. Let IPOB be IPOB, let Terrorism and Proscription stand on its own. Don’t surround a pit with flowers, expecting us to fall into it.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is too lettered for your gimmicks and will defeat his human right violators, anywhere and anytime.

Ibeh Gift Amarachi.

WHEN EASTERN NIGERIA WAS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD!!!

No one conversant with the history of Nigeria in the I950s and 1960’s will miss the overwhelming impact of Dr M.I. Okpara on the nation. After all by 1964 he was fully in charge of the fastest growing and industrialising economy in the world- the Eastern Nigerian economy. Nothing illustrates the warped sense of history and the complete abandonment of the values of merit and excellence in our national affairs as this wilful omission. And now to the review.

The life of Dr Michael Okpara will make a fascinating and historical story anytime. The surprise for me is that it has taken so long for a full length study of one of the most important men that Nigeria has produced to become available. He was born in December 1920 and died on the 17 December 1984 at the rather young age of 64. But in those 64 years there never was a dull moment and the impact of his life continues to reverberate till today- thirty years later. It is of interest to note that he was born in Umuegwu Okpuala in the Ohuhu clan of present day Abia State and died in the same place sixty four years later after his peregrinations round the world. This is indicative of the fact that he was largely moulded by the environment and circumstances of his birth.

At the time of Dr Okpara’s birth Nigeria was merely seven years old, the amalgamation whose centenary we are celebrating today, having taken place in January 1914. It was therefore a period of transition-from the Igbo traditional society to the emerging new colonial society in which new patterns of trade, the new proselytising Christianity and the new forms of education brought by the Christian missionaries were grappling with the old patterns of life of the people. And that contention was evident even in the Okpara household for his father Okpara Asonye was a committed craftsman whose main vocation besides farming and trade was the making of colourful masquerade dresses and we know the significance of masquerades in Igbo traditional society.

But he was also one of the early Christian converts who in time was active in the pioneering Christian evangelism of the primitive Methodist church. This dual heritage was an important conditioning factor in the values of the young Michael- an unrepentant and non- apologetic Igboman with a rock solid commitment to the values of the Christian faith of the protestant variety- those values of industry, thrift, enterprise, truth and service to his fellow man which moulded his professional life and later his politics, honed by his practical intellect. The duplicity, deceit and double dealing that passes for politics in our contemporary society had no place in the Okpara dictionary of life and politics. It is therefore not surprising that his politics exuded such disarming courage, candour and commitment.

The book is organised in nineteen chapters that takes us on a journey that encompasses his education, the development of his social conscience including his activism in community and society, his entry into politics and his journey through the party and the government culminating in his emergence first as the premier of Eastern Nigeria and later as the leader of the ruling party, the NCNC, the vanguard of Nigeria’s nationalist struggle. The primary documents which are woven into the text provide important sources for future research.

His education from the Methodist primary school in his village to Methodist College, Uzuakoli less than ten kilo- meters away for his secondary education and his later sojourn in Lagos as a student of the Yaba Higher College- the first centre for tertiary education in Nigeria – provides us with broad a canvass of the factors that shaped his character, values and leadership ethos. For at each of these stages there was always some incident or action that pointed the way to the emergence of an unusual and uncommon leader whose feet were firmly planted into the milieu of the emergent transitional society of colonial and post-colonial Nigeria that he was growing up in.

While at the Yaba Higher College, two tendencies grew as part of his emerging adulthood- a heightened sense of national consciousness which later crystallised into his decision to participate in politics and a growing consciousness to help improve the conditions of the rural poor in his home community. It was the latter factor that nudged him towards his decision to return to his dear Nkwoegwu to practice medicine- after his qualification from Yaba and his brief sojourn in Maiduguri. Indeed later events suggest that this may have been what he shared with the other missionary and medical statesman Dr Akanu Ibiam whom he appointed Governor of Eastern Nigeria when he Okpara became the Premier of Eastern Nigeria.

In addition this commitment to the local community drew him into active participation in the Bende Divisional Union which was later to provide him the political platform first in the politics of the NCNC and ultimately in governance and national politics both as Premier and later as party leader. This commitment to the welfare and general improvement in the condition of the people were carried over into the exploration of the ideological foundation of the party when he became the national leader of the NCNC.

The party manifesto as reflected in his first speech as national President tilted towards what he recognised as Fabian socialism which he was to amend later as pragmatic socialism. Perhaps, it may be said that the favourable disposition towards an intellectual and dynamic brand of socialism as reflected in fabian socialism predisposed him to the acceptance of free education and the farm settlement projects that he pushed so vigorously during his period as the premier and which became hallmarks of his administration and the foundation of the phenomenal development in the economy of Eastern Nigeria.

The period of Okpara’s stewardship of Eastern Nigeria is truly the golden age of Nigerian development. As I pointed out in a public lecture in 1995, by 1964- five years after Okpara’s ascendancy to the premiership- Eastern Nigeria as recorded by a research group in Michigan State University in the US, Eastern Nigeria was the fastest growing and industrialising economy in the world – ahead of Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. How did this happen? It was the culmination of Okpara’s unique vision in which agriculture and industrial development were the twin pillars on which he built the Eastern Nigerian economy. In agriculture his plans had a two-fold thrust- the development of the farm settlements as the anchor for food crop (such as rice) and poultry development, as well as the establishment of estates of oil palm, cocoa, cashew etc which were processed for export. Alongside the agricultural projects, were numerous industrial projects scattered over the length and breadth of Eastern Nigeria.

In one frenetic burst of energy, a wave of maniacal and frenzied activity was on-going all over Eastern Nigeria. As the book reminds us “ by January 25, 1963, the Michelin Factory at Port Harcourt was opened. The tyre factory was a USD 3,000,000 undertaking. On March 22, the headquarters building of the Universal Insurance Company was opened in Enugu. On May 10 the Nigeria Gas factory was commissioned at Emene near Enugu. On May 16, the Aluminium Factory at Port Harcourt was opened. On August 24, the Glass factory became operative in Port Harcourt. On October 18, the Asbestos Cement Factory was opened in Emene.

On November 9, the foundation of the Central Bank was laid in Port Hacourt. On November 30, the Golden Guinea Breweries was commissioned at Umuahia, for the production of larger beer and allied products. On December 13 Hotel Presidential was opened at a whopping cost of BPS 2,000,000…..The burning fire for industrialisation led to the establishment of the modern ceramic industry in Umuahia, textile mills at Aba and Onitsha and a shoe factory in Owerri.” There was a catalogue of numerous small industries that were also established simultaneously with the major ones during this period.

It was during this period that the first phase of the farm settlements scheme were established- Ulonna in Umuahia province, Ohaji in Owerri Province- Igbariam in Onitsha province, Boki in Ogoja province, Uzo Uwanni in Enugu province, Abak in Annang province. Each was to accommodate over 5,000 farmers and what was remarkable was the scrupulous effort for even spread of the settlements throught the length and breadth of the region. All these activities had been elaborated in his vision for the development of the region after the general elections of 1961. As he stated…the period immediately following the elections was a period for building the economic consciousness of the people”…it is this consciousness and burning desire to raise the standard of living of our people, the unflinching determination to assault poverty from all fronts, that has been distilled into the 1962-68 development plan.

Inviting the people as citizens of a democratic region to examine, approve, criticise or condemn any portion of the plan (the plan is the peoples plan) it provides for the development of the small village, it touches on the requirements of the largest city; it caters for the need of the smallest peasant industry and prescribes the means for the mounting of the biggest industries…” what was remarkable in his vision was the appreciation of the role of the private sector. As he observed to achieve rapid economic growth and raise the standard of living of the people, it was necessary that “the private citizens, the ordinary men and women everywhere must participate by taking a fair and equitable share in our development and industrial projects…” He elaborates on this vision when he states

“…..In encouraging and participating in the industries established in the Region, our government was doing so on behalf of the citizens of the Region. It was, as it were, holding its shares on trust for the people. As and when the industries have overcome their teething problems and the risk of failures minimized, government proposes to divest itself of most of its shares and the money realized used in pioneering into new industrial projects…”

Thus, the visionary did not only recognise the role of the government as the steward on behalf of the people but more importantly acknowledged the government’s fiduciary responsibility. It was an incredible display of courage in the midst of rampaging risk factors and the energy to pursue longterm goals on behalf of the people. It was a remarkable demonstration of transparency and accountability. It was a vision that was forty years ahead of its time. These latter values were illustrated by his commitment to participatory democracy as shown in the fact that he inaugurated an annual series of leaders of thought conferences (a total of five in 1960, 1962, 1963 and 1965).

A remarkable aspect of his industrialisation plan was the collaboration and cooperation with foreign investors to undertake the large industries such as Michelin Tyre factory in Port Hacourt and the Nkalagu Cement factory in present day Ebonyi state. Indeed in Okpara’s long term vision as he told me in a conversation in his home in Nkwoegwu in 1983 was that Port Hacourt through Aba and Umuahia going on to Enugu would have developed into a globally significant industrial megapolis and conurbation. This drove his passion for the development of the University of Nigeria for which he has not, in my view, been given adequate credit.

He provided the money through his prudent management of the resources of the region. If the politics of those times had been better managed, Eastern Nigeria would have been ahead of South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore for we were indeed ahead of these success stories of the second half of the 20th century. What was most remarkable was his spirit characterised by his disarming humility and rock-solid determination to confront all the odds frontally. These were exemplified by his return to medical school after the war!

We cannot end this without recognising the unique strategies he adopted for the management of the government and the instruments he adopted for his far reaching economic programmes. For the latter, the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation was the engine room for the pursuit of his economic development plans. His management of men and resources was imaginative, innovative and revolutionary. The most remarkable attribute is that after his stint as Premier of Eastern Nigeria he returned to live in his father’s modest bungalow even as some members of his cabinet had vast estates in their hometown and elswhere. That speaks volumes of his integrity.

He had arrow heads who coordinated the activities of the government in addition to the informal agencies of democratic participation. He ceded the day to day running of the party to his old friend Dr L C Mbanugo, the civil service to Sam Oti, the intelligentsia to Professor Kalu Ezera and the economic domain to Odumegwu Ojukwu Snr. These were his kitchen cabinet at it were and beyond the formal structures of the party and the bureaucracy. Thus, he could exercise an inspiring overview to the business of governance through the formal structures of governance, even as he recognised the validity of the informal networks that are the eyes and could invigorate governance. In the final analysis his success ultimately rested on his understanding of his people and the operative environment that had shaped him and his people. He certainly deserves intense study if we are ever going to appreciate where the rain started to beat us given our present circumstances. The book is an honest effort but is riddled with avoidable typographical and other errors but it is a treasure trove of information on the Okpara years and a wistful reminder of what Nigeria could have been. Nevertheless, the vision must survive and endure.

NONE IS SAINTLY

Was Awolowo a saint:? No.
But he was given the opportunity to lead the west and he performed wonderfully well compared to other two regions.

Tinubu is neither a saint.
When he had the opportunity to govern Lagos State, he ruled creditably compared to other 35 states.

Awolowo was our Skipper when it came to federal call. But, we rubbished him.
Are Yoruba about to rubbish the captainship in Tinubu in another federal contest.

Yoruba ronu.

The region that performed far much better than all other regions in the dungeon was the Eastern Region and the name of their leader then was Michael Okpara. Don't compare awolowo to this Giant of a man called Michael Okpara.

This trash in the bin tony nnadi and his daughters of whores, so you useful idiots still exist after the yoruba nation group booted out you fools?

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is who we know.
Stop polluting the www space with your nonsense and garbage.

RichDad1:
Good development. Instead of those lousy NURTW collecting dues and feeding fat on the liquidity of the public transportation system, the someone of the money should also go to the state government coffers.

Why are some of you brain dead, daft and dumb?

Biafran flag is easy to buy from the market. We know who owns the weapons and it's definitely not IPOB or ESN.

Good news!! One nigeria for life!!

Awkabigboy:

Nwanne nke afu di iche , it is by choice and no one will hurt you trying to get help but you cant try it in this one and you know the truth

Thunder will soon cut that your almajiri finger you use to write nonsense. Isi ewu,

One nigeria sweet me pass.

80% of the gas is from Igbo territory. The dungeon must fall. Imagine terrorists from th futa jalon coming into my land to dictate and manage my resources for me. I blame the useful idiots amongst us.

SarkinYarki:
That one dey sha .. Osinbanjo is the best among all of them but God dey

Oshi-banjo the thief is the worst of them all.

SlyDev:
The federal government of Nigeria (FGN) has taken-in the sum of N8.6trn as taxes for the year 2021 from Yorubaland.

Mainly from Igbo people's businesses and investments.

This has exposed Tinubu and his gang of thieves. His sacked henchman at this same Mr. Babatunde Fowler was reporting under 5 trillion and was found out and sacked like a thief he is.

saintruky:


I bought 12.5kg 8'000 yesterday...

And you are happy. Go and check the prices in other African countries of this same 12.5kg. You are happy and can't complain because foreign migrant fulanis are the ones selling the gas to you. Imagine if it was Igbos that are in charge of this government and dubiously raised the price of gas to over N8,000 for 12.5kg. Google up other countries that imports gas to sell to their people so you can see the prices.

Gas that comes mainly from Igbo land is what foreign migrant fulanis are selling at dubious price and ripping off the owners of the gas. All because they have guns and believe in violence with some useful idiots doing their biddings.

richmond500:
u are right and we support u, but wen will u ban allocations to ur states and stop migrating to other parts of Nigeria

We shall seize all the allocation money very soon because the money is coming from our land. Prepare for life under cocoa and groundnut. No more free oil money from Biafra land to support your lazy way of life.

adekolaelect:
ok sir but go back to your region to stop unknown Gunmen killing before you come back to me.suoth west is a seed that is growing silently while yours with noice can only attract destructions.

I am not in South West, the red roof republic. I am in Lagos, a no man's land built and developed with oil money from mostly Igboland, and for the fact that Igbos owns more than half of the houses in Lagos. How would you refer to Lagos as part of South West?

udele1:


At least that power was used to bring the cancer of igboland back.

How many years ago did terrorism start in the north? The SE will gradually catch up if kanu and his gang are not properly dealt with.

Today it is chike akunyili. Tomorow it could be your family member.

For peace to return to Biafraland, you the terrorist slave boy, and your gang of slaves of the terrorists must have to be properly dealt with.

adekolaelect:
seat down there dey deceive yourselves. The professor only speakes his opinion which doesn't represent what Yorubas stand for. Who know him ? Who are his supporters in Yoruba land . Oga .... Yorubas can never choose the way of destruction the way Igbos are doing.

Unity begging hypocrite, your dungeon is already under auto self destruct. You don't need Igbos to destroy what's already gone into the dustbin.

The mugu called udele keeps confirming his daftness and dumbness on a daily basis. Keep serving the terrorist's interest for peanuts, but remember that one day, monkey go enter market................



There'll Be No Governorship Election Anywhere In Yoruba Land In 2022 — Self-determination Leader, Akintoye

Akintoye said the next elections Yorubas would participate in, would be in their own country after having achieved their nation from the self-determination struggles.


Yoruba historian and leader of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Prof Banji Akintoye, has said there won’t be any governorship election in any part of Yoruba land in 2022.

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by Maxwell Adeyemi, the spokesperson for the Ilana Omo Oodua group.


Prof Banji Akintoye

His statement comes even as the Independent National Electoral Commission is set to hold governorship elections in the two South-West states of Ekiti and Osun in 2022.

The second term of Governor Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and the first tenure of Governor Gboyega Oyetola (Osun) will be ending in 2022.

Akintoye said the next elections Yorubas would participate in, would be in their own country after having achieved their nation from the self-determination struggles.

He also noted that popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) would soon be out of detention.

Akintoye had said, “With great gratitude to God, I Banji Akintoye, bring this message to all my Yoruba people at home in the Yoruba homeland and all Yoruba people in the Diaspora in almost all countries of the world. In particular, I congratulate all of us who have in one way or another contributed to the Yoruba struggle for self-determination. I thank and congratulate all Yoruba self-determination organisations and agitators.

“In the struggle for Yoruba self-determination, God has granted us a great deal of success towards the attainment of our Yoruba Nation State. Most of our self-determination organisations have grown stronger and more focused and the result is that the Yoruba self-determination struggle has become unassailable.

“The uninformed may be tempted to see only the divisions between and among our self determination organisations. But the truly perceptive will see that all these apparent divisions are a product of the eagerness of our young people to have a Yoruba country of their own.

“For our youths, the struggle has started and there is no looking back. Our Yoruba people will do whatever it takes to obtain our Yoruba nation's sovereignty and our own country in the world.

“The positive achievements of the self-determination struggle are visible in very many directions. For instance, one of our organizations, Ilana Omo Oduduwa has achieved a worldwide structure and image and some more of our other organisations are following suit.

“From the activities of these organisations, great things are happening. In the past few days, Ilana Omo Oduduwa launched a truly revolutionary invention with the name Pajawiri. Pajawiri is already spreading out like wild fire all over Yorubaland. When it is fully spread out and perfected, it will offer protection to every Yoruba man, woman and child at any time in any place.

“We Yoruba humbly and painfully acknowledge that we have a serious security challenge. Another Nigerian ethnic nationality, the Fulani, have for six years now been busy threatening and trying to seize our Yoruba homeland from us by force.

“They have come killing our people, destroying our farmers' farms, villages and farmsteads, raping women and kidnapping people for ransom. They have forced many of our farmers to abandon farming altogether, and they are striving to plunge us into famine and uttermost poverty.

“They started coming by themselves as cattle herders and militias, armed with sophisticated weapons, but in more recent times, they have been coming increasingly with hired terrorists from the homelands of terrorism in distant parts of the world.

“The Fulani cannot but know who we the Yoruba people are, and they know that we are the largest, strongest and most educated nationality on the African continent. They know that we are a giant nation that chooses to be humane and gentle. Yet, they have recklessly plunged themselves into this assault on our homeland.

“Happily and proudly, we have been responding to their assault, and our responding is getting stronger and more sophisticated. Pajawiri is the latest addition to our mechanisms of response; and bigger and better ones will soon follow. So I congratulate our youths in all parts of Yorubaland for mounting increasingly stronger responses to the Fulani invasion.

“One thing is certain, we shall not lose even a square inch of our territory to the Fulani Invasion. Meanwhile, in addition, we shall achieve our self-determination and sovereignty, and then we will not have any Fulani threats or attacks to contend with anymore.

“First, our dear son, Sunday Adeyemo, will soon be blessed with liberation from detention. Secondly, the Yoruba people will soon be blessed with their Yoruba Nation State, the greatest desire of their hearts. Thirdly, their new Yoruba country will quickly blossom into a marvellous country of peace, love and exceptional prosperity.

”Before closing this message, I need to touch on some more issues. The first is that among most Yoruba self-determination advocates worldwide, the determination exists and is growing that there shall be no State Governorship and House of Assembly election in our homeland in 2022. The next election that we Yoruba people will engage in will be the first election in our own new country.

“The second issue is that the Yoruba self determination struggle will employ the powers of the law more emphatically to resist the abuses of human rights in our Yoruba homeland. Instances have increased dramatically of Human Rights abuses committed against our people.

”The most serious of such abuses occurred against Chief Sunday Adeyemo and the residents of his home in Ibadan. Others occurred against our people who are carrying out a peaceful rally in Lagos. In Ekiti State, one Yoruba citizen was arrested for no clear reason at the time of the attack on Sunday Adeyemo's house and he was locked in custody for months.

“In fact, he could have died in detention. From the beginning of 2022, we are going to take serious actions against all cases of Human Right abuse against our people. The Yoruba nation must prepare itself now for such Human Rights initiatives.

“In conclusion, I am sure that all Yoruba people everywhere are expecting me to make a statement about our dear hero Chief Sunday Adeyemo. How I wish I could announce now that he has been released. Unfortunately, we are not blessed with that wonderful news today. But I join all Yoruba patriots everywhere in the fervent hope that he will soon be released.”
