.....good news this is the time i've been waiting for, I know that ipob/massob will be push out of non-violent fight, now their terrorist name have been baptise and the federal government would have the legitimate power to fight the biafran, the God of Nigeria has caught them!

Quit deceiving yourself! fighting them as you said will precipitate the fall of the z..

I will even want IPOB and FG to square it out so that the UN will come into it and then we shall know if self determination isn't a sacred article in the UN charter.

The only reason why UN and major world media have not done anything about this Biafra thingy is because IPOB has been peaceful and as such there is nothing to report, investigate or conclude on. Once this thing goes out of hand then we are witnessing the final days of nigeria, you can bank on that

@OP,

Consider the bolded (Before blowing your trumpet) even though the source is quite questionable.

A. Indigenous differences among the peoples of Nigeria
The causes of the Nigerian Biafran war—which Nigerians describe as a civil war and Biafrans, a war between two nations—are exceedingly complex. More than fifty years ago, Great Britain artificially carved an area out of West Africa containing hundreds of different groups and arbitrarily unified it, calling it Nigeria. Although the area contained many different groups, three were predominant: the Hausa-Fulani, which formed about 65% of the peoples in the northern part of the territory; the Yoruba, which formed about 75% of the population in the southwestern part; and the Ibo, which formed between 60-65% of the population in the southeast
Each of these groups was so distinctive politically, religiously, culturally, and socially, as to constitute what in Europe in most circumstances would be thought of as a separate nation. The profound differences between them account, in a large sense, for the disintegration of the Nigerian Federation during the past several years.
The semi-feudal and Islamic Hausa-Fulani in the North were traditionally ruled by an autocratic, conservative Islamic hierarchy

consisting of some thirty-odd Emirs who, in turn, owed their allegiance to a supreme Sultan. This Sultan was regarded as the source of all political power and religious authority.
The Yoruba political system in the southwest, like that of the Hausa-Fulani, also consisted of a series of monarchs. The Yoruba monarchs, however, were less autocratic than those in the North, and the political and social system of the Yoruba accordingly allowed for greater upward mobility based on acquired rather than inherited wealth and title.
The Ibo in the southeast, in contrast to the two other groups, lived in some six hundred autonomous, democratically-organized vi1lages. Decisions among the Ibo were made by a general assembly in which every man could participate.
The different political systems among these three peoples produced highly divergent sets of customs and values. The Hausa-Fulani commoners, having contact with the political system only through their village head who was designated by the Emir or one of his subordinates, did not view political leaders as amenable to influence. Political decisions were to be obeyed without question. This highly centralized and authoritarian political system elevated to positions of leadership persons willing to be subservient and loyal to superiors—the same virtues required by Islam for eternal salvation. One of the chief functions of the traditional political system was to maintain the Islamic religion. Hostility to economic and social innovation was therefore deeply rooted.
In contrast to the Hausa-Fulani, the Ibo often participated directly in the decisions which affected their lives. They had a lively awareness of the political system and regarded it as an instrument for

achieving their own personal goals. Status was acquired through the ability to arbitrate disputes that might arise in the village, and through acquiring rather than inheriting wealth. With their emphasis upon achievement, individual choice, and democratic decision-making, the challenges of modernization for the Ibos entailed responding to new opportunities in traditional ways. For the Hausa-Fulani, however, modernization required and still does, a complete change in values and ways of life. The Yoruba were somewhere between the Hausa-Fulani and the Ibos regarding their need for achievement and emphasis upon individual choice.
These tradition-derived differences were perpetuated and, perhaps, even enhanced by the British system of colonial rule in Nigeria. In the North, the British found it convenient to rule indirectly through the Emirs, thus perpetuating rather than changing the indigenous authoritarian political system. As a concomitant of this system, Christian missionaries were excluded from the North, and the area thus remained virtually closed to Western education and influence. During the ensuing years, the Northern Emirs, thus were able to maintain traditional political and religious institutions, while limiting social change. As a result, the North, at the time of independence in 1960, was by far the most underdeveloped area in Nigeria with a literacy rate of 2% as compared to 16% in the East and 18% in the West (literacy in Arabic script, learned in connection with religious education, was higher).
In the South, and particularly in the Yoruba areas, the British were able to establish themselves more firmly and Christian missionaries rapidly introduced Western forms of education. Consequently, the Yoruba were the first group in Nigeria to become significantly modernized and they provided the first African civil servants, doctors, lawyers, and other technicians and professionals.

- 5 –

In Ibo areas, missionaries were introduced at a later date because of British difficulty in establishing firm control over the highly autonomous Ibo villages. (Audrey Chapman, “Civil War in Nigeria,” Midstream, Feb 1968). However, the Ibo people, highly individualistic and achievement-oriented, took to Western education zealously. By the 1940’s they had transformed themselves into one of the most educated, wealthiest, and politically unified groups in Nigeria and presented a serious challenge to Yoruba predominance in the civil service and the professions. Moreover, severe population pressure in the Ibo homeland combined with an intense desire for economic improvement, drove thousands of Ibos to other parts of Nigeria in search of work. Many went to the Northern areas where their entrepreneurial and technical skills were in particular demand among the traditional and generally uneducated population. There they took up positions as merchants, government civil servants, and clerks in private European companies. In time the Ibos came to occupy in Nigeria a position somewhat analogous to that of the Indians in East Africa or the Jews in Eastern Europe. In the North and to a lesser extent in the West they came to be looked upon as alien outsiders occupying positions in the economy that “rightfully” belonged to tile indigenous inhabitants of the area. They were perceived as aggressive and pushy, and were envied and resented because of the rapidity with which they acquired education and wealth.

100% Supported.

The idi.ot also should be in jail for perjury. Why did he lie under oath? Well dis govt can deceive its group of hirelings, but not the real gees.

Garbage.

The man is an attention seeker!

Did he say anything new? Aren't elections rigged in Nigeria? Did APC not try to rig Bayelsa state election? Is Buhari's election perfect? This govt is filled with propaganda,

Prolly, they want to deflect peoples attention from the gargantuan loan they are seeking from IMF, I beg Nigerians not to allow this wuruwuru gov deceive them.

It has been two years since the Ekiti state election, what does he want us to do now? He testified in court that the election was perfect, so what's this nonsense all about? Infact this idi.ot should be arrested for upsetting public peace.

Shameless attention seeker!

OFFICIAL336:
The primary charge there is crime against humanity and human right abuse, war crime is only a secondary charge to give more weight to the charge sheet. Google the profile of that lawyer, he is the best for that job #Thanks
To educate the ignorants, the complaint was filed by IPOB, Netherland on behalf of 15 'Biafrans' murdered in cold blood. IPOB, NY has their own case pending in court, IPOB, Nigeria has 2 cases pending in Nigerian court, IPOB Elders, has a running case against the Nigerian state, I don't knw abt IPOB, Worldwide.

IPOB NY case? I tot the case was discontinued.

Yeah, the first step to the case in Hague will be for the prosecutor to accept the case for prosecution, once that is achieved hmm we will begin the second leg of our struggle.

OFFICIAL336:
The Nigerian state shouldn't forget in a hurry the CIA prediction about Nigeria, they should tread with caution. You need to read that document, those Biafrans are intelligent.

I read it, it's about 90 pages. I know IPOB must be cooking something judging from Kanu's body language. Things will begin to happen in quick succession these days that will take everybody by surprise.

Softly softly the Chinese say catchee monkey.

Revolution is loading...

Buhari will regret this...

xtrorphy:
Lies of hypocrisy to divert attention from the very obvious!

They are seeking for FG attention and yet NK has refused every inducements and bribes to quench BFR agitation.

They are seeking for FG attention and yet many of you minions are gladly making a living by pay-per-post, out of another's quest for self-determination!

They are seeking for FG attention and yet your murderous security outfits have killed many of them in cold blood for your fun!

Bunch of greedy parasites who rarely stand for anything and yet dictating for another on how to live when they are being ravaged by diseases, penury and illiteracy.

Xtrophy my guy, you're just too much. One man squad, I salute you!

Only you've been able to wage war against those liars, carry go we dey your back!

OFFICIAL336:
Let me educate you. Biafrans are intelligent, I went through the official complaint document they filed against Nigeria. The complaint has nothing to do with Nnamdi Kanu, but against 15 non violent protesters murdered in cold blood who were protesting against continued detention of Kanu after court order granting him bail. Since those kids were not armed, what happened to rubber bullets and tear gas?
Those inciting statements were made by Nnamdi Kanu and not those 15 that were murdered. So the case against the Nigerian state is for crime against humanity committed against her citizens.
I love my president, but Nigeria didn't try with the way they handled that issue. Not even an apology from the Presidency.

.

Thanks for that explanation, but you needn't have to explain to those buffoons our strategy. Let the, keep being happy, we will only take them by surprise.

SalC:
I may be wrong though but didn't the Kenyan president had to hand over to his vice sometime ago to answer his case with the ICC?

You're not wrong. I think the guy you quoted was trying to be a bit politically correct. But you see, the strategy for IPOB wants to use is to drag Buhari to the world and expose him, that's the most important thing to us. With ICC entertaining our petition against Buhari, that will be a big morale booster to this struggle and equally lend legitimacy to the struggle. With the case also going on, we can be sure that we will be able to rally the world to our cause, and if IPOB goes into arms struggle that will be explained as defensive action against a murderous butcher (Buhari).

Please stop consoling yourself.

Since Buhari came in, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Nigeria will break up under his rulership.

Only the wise will understand.

Emekamex:
->All our problems narrows down to disunity amongst tribes.
->Corruption is just a ripple effect of this disunity where one tribe feels it is being marginalised and another feels it must rule always regardless of others.
->This creates a situation where a political holder from one tribe prefers to loot or favour a particular region while he deems it fit, knowing fully well he might not have that privilege in the nearest future.
->For Nigeria to work, all government efforts should be encompassed on helping all tribes equally thereby making all of us feel like one which will also hinder hatred and focusing on frivolities like tribalism and party politics.
->In summary, relative unity is the solution to most of our problems and if we can't achieve this, it is better we tell ourselves the truth and go our separate ways.

God bless you. Don't worry that will be achieved real soon.

Larrey:
I too attend white garment oo.I'm proud of my church

You look beautiful in your pics, but just a question, what is it about your church that many people despise it? I heard you guys are into some sort of voodoo worship? Please can you tell me what Cele is all about - because to be honest, I fear white Garment people. I'm even shaking (afraid) writing this reply to you. Abeg no offense (pun) intended.

jlinkd78:
After an open media trial n 'conviction', u are pushing for secret trial in d court.

Honestly, this time s what I don't understand, secret trial, after open medial trial. Well, I know Buhari will fail for sure!

Whe we tell people that Buhari is the grand father of corruption, they call us wailers, Well, only time will tell. This year has got many surprises, as for me, I've fastened my seatbelt and just dey observe.

Wike should not panic, we got his back.

This is what you get, when you build your party on propaganda.

Honestly, I do wonder about this guy barcanista. Without sounding sarcastic, I think the guy is just a loose canon who tries to gain emotional stability from his engagements on nairaland. His posts all the time seems very contradictory, I stopped following him when I discovered he has no content to offer, but just derives fun from posting things on nairaland in order to generating traffic.

PROPHETIC BOMBSHELL! Biafra 70% accomplished –Prophet Olagunju 1
BY OUR REPORTER ON JANUARY 3, 2016 COVER


■ Says Nigeria’s break-up imminent

STORIES BY OLAKUNLE OLAFIOYE

The agitation for self-de­termination by pro-Bi­afran groups may eventually climax in reality if the p r o p h e c i e s of a popular Ibadan-based pastor, Prophet Wale Olagun­ju, Presiding Bishop of Di­vine Seed of God Chapel Ministries, are any­thing to go by.

Prophet Olagunju w h o s e predic­t i o n about the vic­tory of Presi­dent Mohammadu Buhari in the 2015 general election was widely ap­plauded for its accuracy on both the outcome of the poll and the margin of votes between the APC presidential candidate, Mohamma­du Buhari and other candidates, also predicted that the North will remain in power for the next 12 years just as he foretold the possibility of Nigeria’s eventual break-up.

Prophet Olagunju, in a 51-point prophecy for the Year 2016 said the agitation for Biafra nation is 70 per­cent accomplished and advised the President to be cautious in handling the issue.

Below are his prophecies for the nation:

■ During one of my prayers for the nation, I saw Buhari in thick darkness trying to bail out the country from disaster. God said, we should com­mence prayer now for the President that God should rise in his defense and rescue him from the antics of wicked and corrupt people.

■ God said we should commence serious prayer for Buhari that God should grant him good health and long life, so that he will be able to ac­complish God’s purpose.

■ Almighty God warned that Pres­ident Buhari should be careful not to allow favoritism, religious sentiment, nepotism and regional corruption to spoil his government and make him lose the love Nigerians demonstrated in voting for him.

■ Buhari should be careful so that what happened to Murtala Mu­hammed will not happen to him. He should rely more on God for his se­curity and should not joke with the physical.

■ For equating former President Jonathan with our Lord Jesus Christ, God said Fayose’s days as Ekiti State governor are numbered. God said He has torn his government and has given it to whom He wants and the govern­ment will henceforth be moving from one crisis to another until he gets out of office.

■ The controversial governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, will end up in failure if he fails to pray now, for God revealed him to me in handcuff.

■ God said He will, beginning from 2016 begin to vent His anger against those false prophets and pastors using demonic powers to perform miracles because they are not sent by Him.

■ God says for legalizing the sin of fornication and adultery, He will stir up serious adversity and dreaded disease against the American nation very soon.

■ God says the end of Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria is at hand.

■ Failure of President Buhari to set up a balanced national confab and restructure Nigeria will pave way for another militant group that will terror­ize the nation.

■ It will take the greatest miracle of the century for the current Senate President Bukola Saraki to complete his term as Nigeria’s Senate President.

■ The time for Seyi Makinde to rule Oyo State as governor is at hand as revealed to me by Almighty God, but he needs fervent prayer.

■ In Ondo State, Governor Mim­iko and the ruling Peoples Democrat­ic Party PDP should forget ruling the state in the next governorship election.

■ Rapture is very near.

■ Nigerians should pray for Oba of Benin and the Olubadan of Ibadan Land.

■ Break-up is imminent in Nigeria. Another generation is coming that will break Nigeria without any war.

■ There is going to be retrench­ment in NTA and FRCN.

■ Nigerians should commence serious prayer now to forestall death of prominent emirs, obas and some eminent Nigerians in 2016. Nigerians should also pray against fire and mo­tor accidents.

■ The ruling APC should be care­ful so that the race for 2019 Presiden­tial Election will not break it and take Nigeria back to square one.

■ Rasheed Ladoja should pray seri­ously against terminal sickness.

■ Nigerians should commence prayer for IBB against stroke and death.

■ Sunday Oliseh, as revealed to me by God, is not the right coach for the Super Eagles.

@Irondome,

Thanks so much I appreciate. I regret not knowing about this earlier, I would've been in a good position by now. Albeit, no time is late. Please I will be contacting you again later. Thanks very much Sir!

@Irondome,

Just a little more clarifications, (sorry I ask too many questions - this is confusing)

The LMIA I understand can be gotten by one entering the Job bank, if i am right, how can I get into the job bank.

I've a contact in Canada, can I ask them to arrange an offer letter for me, you know, just to prove that I've a job offer? What do you advice.

Lastly, do you've any book or material, for me to ace the IELTS exam.

Thanks.

irondome:
All documents are required after ITA, with the exception of ECA and IELTS (as you have to fill in their report numbers during profile creation). Invariably, your first step into the process would be to get your ECA and IELTS test done. After which, you create your profile and wait for ITA. While waiting for ITA or scouting for PNPs, you can start gathering other required documents that might prove difficult to get (e.g FBI report, POF, reference letter of your skilled employment, etc). Please note that at least one year of skilled employment in NOC category (A,O, B) is required to be qualified for FSWC, and must also meet the 67 point criteria.

Use the CRS tool below for an estimation of your CRS point.

God bless you!

irondome:
Yes, your US masters overshadows BSc. Trying to get the 2 degrees (MSc and Bsc) evaluated would only slow you down. Evaluate only your Masters

Good, thank you. I have to see what I can do about the fund. But, when do they ask about the fund, is before ITA or after ITA.

^^^^
@Irondome God bless you.

I noticed you answered those concerns I raised with an easy apt. Please are you in Canada? I asked because I do wish to speak with you on phone if that will be convenient for you.

I noticed you said I should get my MSc degree evaluated, but I think Canada and US have the same GPA system. However, it will be easy for me to get my MSc degree evaluated, than getting my Nigerian cert evaluated. So I want to know if Msc Cert covers or overshadows my Bsc degree. I want to know so that I don't get into the unnecessary loop of trying to get my transcript from Nigeria, which could be very painstaking.
Thanks
