anything you do in Nigeria is anti igbo. I'm eating in my room because I hate igbo.

As if the INEC officials in the east are not easterners.

His brother in Italy are going against immigrants.

Who ever thought he could bring biafra independence must be an illiterate.

Many people commenting don't even understand what he's saying.

SMH.

Accidents as part of violent crime?

ibadanfinest:
Be informed, We don't have it at UI. we don't use catchment area. Are you an undergraduate/postgraduate or alumnus of UI that you are arguing with a UI personified.

Even Unilag and Ife that has it, all southwestern states are favoured

Yeah I just confirmed U.I doesn't have. But we both know that a student from Oyo state will still have an edge over the ones from Ondo and Ekiti.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Aside Imsuth, Imo state lacks a medical campus too. And the bulk of Imo medical students school outside the East

You just said aside imsuth.

ibadanfinest:
Not all school use quota system UI/Uch does not. Even where they are used, all southwestern states are on favoured.

That shows you don't understand quota system or catchment area in admission process. Every govt owned school has it.

Origamist:
There is OOU in Ogun State.
those in Ekiti and Ondo (Eksu & Unimed)are yet to graduate their first set of med. Students.

Yes. I should remove Ogun. But ondo and Ekiti students have to jostle for few quotas in other states in other to study medical ourses. I'm a victim

ibadanfinest:
What are you saying. so the medical schools in oyo and osun is for their native alone.

Do you understand quota system?

It means students from Ondo and Ekiti have few slots compared to the indigens.

This should be expected as there are no government schools in Ondo and Ekiti states that with Medical Faculties. More Schools, more quota for admission. Osun and Oyo should lead in the southwest because of OAU, Lautech and UCH all have medical schools.

FBIL:
na who Yoruba epp? If you like speak Ijebu-Ekiti, Yoloba can never help you, if you're not a Yoloba pesin. But Awusa and Igbo can help you whether you're from their tribe or not. Thank God those schools mentioned don't worth anything. I dey my house here for NPA road, Warri, come make my boys break your neck.

ibo epp who? have you helped the osus you discriminate against?

what about the other non-abia civil servants sacked from abia civil service?

what about the catholic priest rejected on the basis of not from Mbaise?

Sapeleboy911:
Luauable effort u say? What if other instutions,in different regions of the country follow suit? If it was all about language preservation there are better ways of preserving it. And if it was due to the popular saying that "Lagos is no man's land" every learned and civilised man knows that is not true.
But making a particular language compulsory, in order for you to gain admission into a higher institution in Nigeria.Is an act of disintegration and tribalism.

You still don't get it. Yorubas don't care what happens in other parts of Nigeria.

The ibos have similar law. They discriminate among themselves.

Abia sacked imo indigens from civil service. An ibo catholic priest was rejected because he was not from the town.

There is osu and freeborn dichotomy. The list is endless. forget their noise on social media.

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has revealed how a former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, ensured the emergence of Ifeanyi Okowa as governor of the state.

Secondus explained that Ibori called him from London where he was serving his jail term prior to the 2015 governorship election and pleaded that the National Working Committee of the PDP should support Okowa to emerge governor.



He added that the party had no choice than to support the decision.

Secondus spoke on Saturday at a thanksgiving and grand reception organised by Olorogun John Oguma, a chieftain of the PDP, in honour of Ibori at the Ibru Unity Square, Ovwor-Olomu, in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “Before the 2015 elections, I received a call from our leader (Ibori), and I asked him the direction. He (Ibori) told me Okowa should be supported.

“I was then the Deputy National Chairman. I gathered all my people; I said I have received an order from our leader. Your Excellency, I am grateful that your decision was right. That is how we supported Dr. Okowa because the leader spoke to us.”

The PDP national chairman, who called on Nigerians to support the PDP to rescue the country from what he described as the looming total collapse under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress government, said that the lies and propaganda upon which the APC rode to power wouldn’t work in 2019.

He noted that under the APC-led Federal Government, Nigerians had been subjected to hunger and insecurity as bloodletting pervaded almost all the states in the country with the government becoming helpless.

Secondus added, “On Monday, we will be in Jigawa and will move across the nation to let Nigerians know that it is only the PDP that can rescue this nation. An APC senator, Dino Melaye, said that in three years, APC borrowed N11 trillion. PDP ruled for 16 years but only N6 trillion was borrowed. Who is more corrupt? Where is power?’’

While congratulating Ibori for his safe return to the country after serving out his jail term in the UK, Secondus said the ex-governor was a man worth celebrating.



He added, “Our leader (Ibori) has passed through political tribulations because he believes in the people and considers the poor. He believes in the masses; that is why God delivered him.’’

Okowa said Ibori should be commended for laying a solid foundation for the past and present administrations to develop the state.

The governor said, “I’m the only governor who had the support of the first and second governors. That was because there was good following that has continued to beget following. I understand our leader (Ibori) because he trained us well as politicians. I have learnt the game from him so well. I am happy that we recognised our leader (Ibori) as a good man’’

In his remarks, Ibori, who called for unity among Urhobo leaders, particularly the political class, said he bore no grudges against anybody over his travails which led to his conviction in the UK.

He said, “Your prayers have brought me back home. When I attended the thanksgiving service of Olorogun Aguariavwodo, I told people that the journey was an act of God and not the will of man. It was not man who did what happened to me. I have forgiven everyone both within and outside. That’s how God said I should do it.”

Also, Oguma said chief Ibori had impacted positively on the state and stabilised the political terrain.

The event was attended by a former Governor of the state, Emmanuel Uduaghan Prof. Godwin Onokerhoraye, members of the PDP National Working Committee and the state PDP Chairman, Kingsley Esiso, among others.

The Nigeria Customs Service said it had given the importer of the military wares which allegedly belong to the government of Kogi State, a 30-day ultimatum, to produce the End-User Certificate from the Office of the National Security Adviser.

The Public Relations Officer of the NCS, Mr. Joseph Attah, confirmed this during a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Saturday.



The Service had confiscated the items at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

The imported items include 100 pieces of military camouflage, 26 pieces of military camouflage jungle boots, 20 pieces of plastic knives, 24 pieces of black bullet proof vests, and 28 black boxing gloves.

Others are 26 pieces of arctic hunter bags, 40 pieces of training mats, 20 pieces of black batons, 100 pieces of black T-shirts, 31 pieces of protective glasses, 25 pieces of black sunglasses and 29 pieces of black uniform belts

Attah told one of our correspondents that the agent, who imported the items, had been identified.

He said when contacted, the agent claimed that he was in possession of the End-User certificate, which is usually issued by the National Security Adviser.

Attah said based on the claim of the agent, he had yet to be arrested as the service was still conducting investigations.

He explained that the agent had been asked to produce the End-User Certificate within 30 days and that if he fails to do so, after the ultimatum, the items would be forfeited to the Federal Government.

He said, “We have identified the agent who imported the items and he claimed that he had the End-User Certificate.



“We have asked him to produce it. He has 30 days to do that. If after the expiration of the 30 days period, then the imported items would be forfeited to the Federal Government.”

Senator Dino Melaye had, on Thursday, raised the alarm that the Kogi State government was behind the military items illegally imported into the country.

A source within the Kogi State Government, however, described the entire incident as ‘bad politics’.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous because he wasn’t authorised to speak on the matter, admitted that some military items and security gadgets were imported for Kogi State Government’s use.

He, however, denied reports that military uniforms were brought in.

The source said, “We planned to buy vehicles and lace them with security gadgets, GSM security jamming system, bulletproof etc. So, we engaged a security firm, which helped us to procure the gadgets for the Kogi State Government and they required an end-user certificate to bring them in.

“The governor wrote to the National Security Adviser over three weeks ago for the end-user certificate and we have evidence. The NSA is working on it even though it hasn’t been issued.

“However, the consignment came in before the end-user certificate was ready. So, when the gadgets came in, the Customs challenged us and asked the owner of the equipment to come forward and the governor has sent his officials to the airport to claim the goods.

“We didn’t import any uniform. We have the letter of the contract award.”

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party has described the linking of the alleged illegal importation of military items to the All Progressive Congress interests, particularly in Kogi State, as revealing.

The PDP said Nigerians had been wondering how weapons and other military equipment got into the hands of marauders, who had been ravaging the nation, adding that the discovery could be an unfolding development, into which an open investigation must be conducted.

It also expressed fears that the development could be part of the alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress to compromise the nation’s security system and set the stage for the intimidation of Nigerians during the 2019 general election.

The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja on Saturday, also asked the Presidency and military high command to immediately come out with explanations to Nigerians on how Governor Yayaha Bello of Kogi State allegedly secured the permission to import military items, a function exclusively under the purview of the Presidency and the military.

He said, “From the reports so far, it appears that we are now having a clue into how weapons and other military equipment being used by marauders and criminals to ravage and murder our citizens are illegally sneaked into the country and by which interest.”

Buhari Second Term will be hell for Ndigbo- Sir Don Ubani, Ukwa leader

Allowing Buhari to do a second term will be as bad as one opting to burn from fire to hell. It would be better to allow a broad-minded patriotic northerner to replace Buhari in 2019. His tenure could be negotiated. Leaving Buhari to go for a second term would amount to unmitigated disaster.

There online miscreants are busy masturbating on Tinubu's matter while we plot their total annihilation.

Igbo voting for APC in 2019 hoping to become president in 2023 will be making the biggest mistake of their lives. They will in effect be voting themselves into irrelevance and second-class citizenship in Nigeria. How can the APC where the leadership consisting of President Buhari, Vice President Osinbajo, the chairman of Party, Odigie-Oyegun and national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu midwife an Igbo presidency in 2023? How will that happen? It cannot happen. As Chief MKO Abiola asked: How can you shave a man’s hair in his absence? The best option for Ndigbo is to look for an alternative where they are represented in the center of power in 2019. Ndi Igbo being represented at the centre as Vice Presidential candidate in 2019 will ensure that they are not dealt out in the backrooms where who shall become president and who becomes vice president are settled. If Ndi Igbo are in an alternative political party that absorbs a third force, this will put them at the center where they will make sure that they are represented. They cannot afford to wait till 2027 and so, the northern presidential candidate in this alternative party shall serve out the remaining four years and no more. All those advocating that Ndi Igbo should wait till 2027are enemies of Ndiigbo and consequently, enemies of Nigeria because Ndigbo are nation builders. For emphasis, the Igbo ethnic group cannot endure beyond 2023. The restiveness in Igbo land and the neo-Biafra agitations are self-evident and only opportunistic ambitious presidential candidates will fail to see this restiveness. The tenure of the president that will emerge in 2019 must be for years only. If Mandela with all his greatness did four years, the next President of Nigeria must do four years and give way in the interest of peace and political stability. This was what the north had expected of President Jonathan in 2015. The rest is history. Ndigbo must avoid like leprosy any presidential candidate whose body language indicates eight years especially those of them who have no views on restructuring which is the topmost Igbo agenda currently. For the Igbo, restructuring is top of the agenda. The presidency is second. And good governance can only happen when there is peace and security. Restructuring brings about massive devolution of power and resources from the centre to the federating units and stops the massive roguery at the centre. The Igbo position is that there must be devolution and restructuring of Nigeria. Those benefiting from the present unfair structure are the ones resisting restructuring not realizing that they are hurting themselves in the long run. The summary is that if Ndigbo vote for APC in 2019, they will be voting themselves into slavery in Nigeria. So, the alternative should be for them to look for a platform that offers only a four-year waiting period, a platform where an Igbo man is at the centre, preferably as the running mate. That’s what the Igbo should be looking for. Ndigbo expect that any Nigerian whether from the north, south-west or South-South will show understanding that continuing to exclude a major group in Nigeria from the presidency is wrong and a recipe for political instability

when did you speak against your massob brothers drowned in ezu river by the clueless one?

you conquered slave.

Your lunatic lord is still missing, swallowed by the python of your fulani masters.

I received a text message from npower team saying I have been existed from the program.... just like that when I did all my best to carry out my duty. Even till date am yet to receive January and February 2018 stipends

This is saddening. Why are we like this in Nigeria. Why can't we do things right? Some ogas would be diverting this funds and make innocent people suffer.

shallysgirl:
You started the cry, I joined you. Rabbish. It sucks to be a rejected caliphate slave.

The last time I checked, igbo are the crying losers all over Nigeria and your weeping just began 5% slaves seeking elusive freedom.

OfficialAwol:
All I can see is a Tinubu reciting the book of lamentations.

APC has said that there's no document or communique containing the phrase "tenure elongation".

Tinubu's quadratic equation was solved with almighty Formula.

The only way for him now, is down.

I'm not celebrating the rise of the Fulani mafia though.

I didn't see a single mention of Tinubu in the write up but igbo losers must be happy to shout the name of their master Tinubu.

stephleena:
oyegun,the new jagaban of APC..Wailer's forms are off the market ask sarrki.
tinubu should,pls enjoy his "reconciliation" job

Tinubu is a bastard drug dealing vagabond - sarrki

yoruba demon, son of the fallen oduduwa.you are not better than any Nigerian, we are all in this Nigeria together suffering it. Even your mere commissioner VP has no clout except the one given to him by his boss.
Clout indeed and Tinubu is being thrown around like a bloome bloome.
Self deluded brownroofers all over the place.

Lol. Stop crying. I feel your pain. 5 more years to cry.

It sucks to be an osu outcast.

SpecialAdviser:
What is wrong with DAT? Is it not shameful that Africa has refused to develop despite all the God gifted resources. We cry over deportation in another country instead of thinking how to develop to deport others. There was a time we deported Ghanaians, today they deport us.

If only we could channel our energy to bringing about proper change in our country. We Africans should be ashamed and stop all these complain please. Nothing works in Africa. Absolutely nothing. Ordinary Libya is slave trading your brothers and we are not ashamed.

Everything black has problem abeg. We voted in a man without WASCE cert, at almost 80yrs and some people still praise his incompetence.

My brother we should be ashamed.

coming from an Igbo man. SMH

pantherblack:
And i'm smart all of a sudden if i say Tinubu comes out on top? The same way people become corrupt-free the moment they join APC like Musiliu Obanikoro. Biko Gawagi.

I am not in for a long epistle on a concocted news to make people feel happy. However, I'll try to give you some points.

Tinubu is not a saint when it's comes to corruption, but the man is above any Nigerian average politician because of his penchant for good governance and progressive ideas. If you hate Tinubu and happy for his perceived sidelining and at the same time blame him for foistering buhari on the nation, then you are confused.

APC is in disarray today because of the minimal input of Tinubu in government. The few progress recorded in the area of tax and income generation are by his men in power.

Buhari lost it when he was indifferent to the leadership selection in the national assembly. If Tinubu's men have been elected, today we won't have a legislature that is an opposition to the executive even though they are from the same party. Now we struggle to pass budget and confirm appointees in govt. How can there be any progress when the two arms are flexing their muscles. Today the masses suffer.

you guys were happy when Oyegun was having his way in Kogi, but you are hurling insults on Bello today forgetting you supported him against Tinubu.

pantherblack:
yeah yeah yeah, big grammar doesn't equate sound reasoning. Go back and check all my comments on this thread and show me one single comment that throws a swipe at Tinubu. Ode, oponu oshi. My uncle who leaves just 30 minutes from me is and has always been his direct P.A. since Mobil, till today, if anyone should be singing his praises i should be one of them.Albeit, not ebven against him. I simply stated facts abour Buhari and how APC is being run and without checking to read through my comments you run like a headless chicken they have come. I'm not even igbo, i didn't post any anti-Tinubu comment. So your pseudo high intellectualism isn't any better than a wasted tampon deekhead

You are not smart. Tell me what is going to happen to Tinubu vis a vis Saraki and Atiku.

pantherblack:
Your mates are gathering under the umbrella of Christ that redeemed the world, all of you all are returning back to where God removed you from, to idols and gods of this world. I hope you can embrace what y'all get. According to Hitler and Putin, one political tool that has never failed is tell any group of persons they are under attack from another ethnic group.Such is the case

Hate filled mongrels like you dare talk about God?

Wonder shall never end.
