He was a conqueror of murderous rebels

He was a conqueror of your insanity war.

He was a man of wisdom that used words to end a war of 2 and half years.

He was and still is and will forever be the Ojuju Calabar of Ojukwus and Osus

He was a man that sent your cowardly sissy war hero into exile with mere words of wisdom.


If he killed 3million of you and you could not do anything about it, it actually depicts how pathetic all of you are.

There has never been anyone like him in Igboland and there will never be any one that would be as great as him from Igboland.

Very pathetic indeed. Heroes are those that died in the war front, and not those that drank poison. If you have any atom of shame, you will stop refering to that Fulani toilet paper as a hero. Well I am not surprised, it's only in your region that failures are refered to as heroes. Region of weeping generals

almarthins:
My friend sssssh! Awolowo carried guns or what ? How did he murder 2million. Was he d commanding head of states?. You people should stop twixting history to get more ignoramus to ur side. You lack both wisdom n knowledge

of course he murdered two million, civilians both pregnant women, women, girl and children including little babies. He will never have peace even in hell. And all his generations will definitely reap the curse he sowed.

Naija9090:
If Nzeogwu is a treasonable felon, What is then Awolowoo who murdered in cold blood 2 million Biafraan children? Also a Martyr? Lol..Afonjaa and their reasoning! You wonder if they get their education the same place other Nigerians get theirs.

You are wasting your precious time replying none entities. People whose region has been reduced to beggars. Are they not among those that will soon start receiving 5000 naira of poverty alleviation of Buhari? Poverty is contagious brother, distance yourself from those cursed species

asuustrike2009:
They're ignorant.Most of them are easily moved by sight without asking the mind of God.I really pity Nigeria Christians because Satan is going to use those extremist to populate hell and virtually reduce Christianity to nothing. The era of building big churches are over now is the time to build men and women, soldiers of Christ that would withstand the devices of the enemy. Until all the churches team together and pray, what before Turkey would happen if care isn't taken

Let them keep dragging for members in order to increase their tithes and offerings just to puff around. I think the herdsmen is a great tool to use against those Pastors so that they will sit up to their real calling; saving souls and not milking souls.

Fantastic2m:
Its the Afonja and iPod that are suffering together

IPOB are not suffering, did you see any region In IPOB included in 5000 naira promised to the poor masses? Only the Afonjas are suffering. We will soon get our independent because definitely iron and clay can not mix, so Afonjas should worry about the masters they love and adore so much. We are out

bonechamberlain:
Useless pastors and men of God, if they are truly men of God they should have seen that buhari is evil and urged all right thinking individual to vote anyone but buhari. Mbaka is the greatest disaster among them he has since kept mum.

Only Mbaka? The word of God said that the wheat will be separated from the chaff, and this Buhari's presidency has confirmed those that are men of God and those that are wolves in sheep clothing. God knows those that are His

NaijaMutant:
I'm angry in my spirit right now

The problem are Christians whose Tribe is superior to their faith

Christians who don't care about their faith as long as their political and tribal urge is satisfied

You thought you were punishing a particular tribe but you ended up selling yourself into slavery like Esau

Unfortunately, the South east and South South should brace themselves for the challenges. This is the only place where Christianity is practiced in Nigeria. The west is like bats, they are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold when it comes to religion; counting on them as one of us is just suicidal and betrayal as usual will be the result of such action. The only Christian I have confirmed in that West is Winners chapel. Others are hypocrites

comshots:
It is a know fact that buhari,elrufai and their northern Islamic brothers are indirectly turning Nigeria into an Arabic republic under the guise of one Nigeria.

They will only succeed in annexing the entire Afonja land. The south East is a no go area, If I lied ask Usman Dan Fodio

Buyeradvertcom:
The hope of the poorest and most vulnerable to experience a change in their standard of living since the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2015 may have been dashed, following an alleged hijack of the Federal Government’s monthly stipend meant for them.

The Presidency had two weeks ago announced the payment of the stipends to the poor through the Conditional Cash Transfer of its Social Investment Programmes.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, who disclosed this, explained that under the CCT, one million Nigerians would receive the stipend as a form of social safety net.

Akande said the exercise had commenced with the first batch of beneficiaries from three out of nine states the pilot scheme would cover already collecting the money.

Under the arrangement, he explained that Borno, Kwara and Bauchi states had started paying the money, while beneficiaries in Cross River, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti states would smile soon.

However, investigations by SUNDAY PUNCH correspondents in Borno, Kwara and Bauchi showed that top politicians were the ones choosing people to benefit from the scheme.

Potential beneficiaries also alleged during separate interviews with our correspondents that they were not carried along, despite the fact that they fall within the catchment area.

Also, contrary to widespread belief that the N5,000 will be shared per person, the administrators of the scheme in Kwara were observed giving N5,000 to an entire household.

KWARA

In Kwara, government had said 10,700 ‘households’ were currently benefitting from the first phase of the programme in the state.

But two factional Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Mr. Iyiola Oyedepo and Mr. Sunday Fagbemi, said they were not aware that anybody or any of their party members had got the stipends.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Media and Communication, Dr. Muyideen Akorede, however, insisted that 12 local government areas were participating in the first phase, while the remaining four LGAs would be considered for the second phase.

Akorede said the Kwara State Government was fully involved in selecting the beneficiaries.

He said the selection process was based on data collected for the World Bank-supported Youth Employment and Social Support Operation, where each community identified those considered as poor.

But Oyedepo said he was not aware that the payment had commenced in the state, adding that PDP was not carried along in the selection of the beneficiaries.

Expressing a similar opinion, Fagbemi said, “I have not heard of a single fellow from PDP that benefitted from such. The scheme should be for everybody.”

According to the state government, beneficiaries in the 12 councils of Asa, Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Oke-Ero, Isin, Ifelodun, Offa, Edu, Patigi, Kaiama and Moro, have started benefitting from the scheme.

But some indigenes of Offa said they were not aware of the stipends being paid.

Among those who spoke on the issue with one of our correspondents were a 40-year-old commercial motorcycle rider, Omoboriola Abiodun; a 52-year-old petty trader, Mrs. Yusuf Adijatu; a 62-year-old grinding machine operator, Mrs. Lydia Oladele; a 50-year-old bread seller, Mrs. Racheal Olayemi; a 55-year-old bread seller, Mrs. Taibat Omojasola; and a 54-year-old motorcycle rider, Mr. Musliu Rahman.

Rahman said, “I have not heard of the scheme or the payment. I am not aware of any list of poor people in Offa. I don’t think poor people in Offa have received it and I have not been contacted by anybody over the payment of any stipend.”

A recharge card seller at the Muritala Muhammed Way, Ilorin, also stated that he had not benefitted from the scheme.

Likewise, a foodstuff seller at Oja-Oba (market), Mrs. Sadikat Monruf, and a street trader, Saka, said they had not been contacted by any government official concerning the scheme and that none of them had received any stipend.

BORNO

The situation got worse in Borno State as top politicians, including a prominent member of the Senate and a highly placed presidency official from the state, disagreed openly over the beneficiary list.

Few persons were said to have collected the stipend shortly before payment was suspended following a ‘fight’ between the two politicians.

SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that a manual social register was generated for the scheme which gave room for manipulation.

A top government official, on condition of anonymity, said, “It was the pressure mounted on the state government by the two political gladiators that made us settle for manual registration.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the state government failed as calls made to both the mobiles of the Secretary to the State Government, Usman Shuwa, and the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Mohammed Bulama, were not responded to as of the time of filing the report.

A social activist, Mr. Grema Terab, complained that the administration of the scheme was faulty from the initial stage in Borno.

He said, “The whole exercise was faulty from the inception in Borno; there was no way for many to be registered as there was no formal registration office or centre.

“The state was only able to initially register 6,000 out of its quota of 13,000 due to complacency on the part of those given the task of handling the registration.

“People have no easy access to the form as it was politicised by the coordinators in the state.

“There was no clear information on what they (the applicants) should do or how to go about it was given.”

Many Maiduguri residents also expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which the scheme was being carried out in the state.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “My name is on the register but I’ve not received payment. When some of us that had not been paid made enquiries last week, we were told we had a problem with our registration.”

Another resident, who also craved anonymity, asked the Federal Government to stop politicians from interfering with the beneficiaries’ list.

He said, “I am aware that two big politicians determined the list and with this, the real poor people won’t benefit. The government officials will keep the money and give out peanuts to those who go to their house.”

BAUCHI

SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that the payment of the N5,000 monthly stipend had yet to commence in Bauchi State, contrary to the presidency’s claims.

The Special Assistant to the Bauchi State Governor on Development Partners and Non-Governmental Organisations, Manu Soro, however, said his office had received confirmation from the Federal Government that the money had been disbursed to the state accounts.

He stated that 10,800 beneficiaries drawn from 12 out of the 20 local government areas had been captured in the scheme.

“We have received confirmation from the office of the Social Safety Net that payment has been effected by the Federal Government to the Interbank settlement system for onward transmission to the government-approved bank, which is Guaranty Trust Bank.

“Biometrics are being concluded and as soon as the internal processes in GTBank are concluded, beneficiaries will receive their money. Any moment from now, these funds will be available for them to access.”

Asked how the list was drawn, Manu said the state used a National Poverty Map as a guide to draw up the list.

He said officials carefully selected by the government went round the communities to get the list of the vulnerable and poor people.

He said, “The state Planning Commission, through the State Coordinating Unit, was saddled with the responsibility of generating what is called ‘single social register,’ which was generated in collaboration with the World Bank officials in the state.”

The Special Adviser denied allegations that only APC members were being considered for the scheme, stating that all those who qualified, irrespective of party affiliations, would benefit.

“We have no political interference in this scheme,” he said.

However, a stalwart of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Bauchi State, Yusuf Alkaleri, who spoke to our correspondent on the phone, said PDP members were not considered for the scheme.

He said the members were shocked to hear that the list had already been drawn.

He said, “To be very honest with you, no PDP member who is poor and vulnerable has been captured to benefit from this scheme.

“All we know is that a list was drawn and taken to President Buhari and he approved it. We didn’t know when they drew the list because it was done secretly. We don’t even know how it was drawn. They’ve made it an APC affair.”

A cross-section of poor and homeless people in the state capital told SUNDAY PUNCH that only people with links to politicians were beneficiaries of the stipend.

One of them, Abdu Hassan, said, “It is for only people who are connected to influential politicians. I have no salary, no pension, nothing. When I heard of the policy, I was happy because I felt I would enjoy it, but unfortunately, it was not so.”

Another respondent, Datua Manga, said, “I looked for the form to fill so I can be enrolled but didn’t get. I went to the National Identity Management Commission office three different times hoping that I will get the form but my efforts were fruitless.”

EKITI

As of Friday morning, over 700 out of the 3,600 beneficiaries on the list had received the N5,000 monthly stipend in Ekiti State, according to the Special Assistant to Governor Ayodele Fayose on New Media and Public Communications, Mr. Lere Olayinka.

But the state Commissioner for Information, Youths and Sports, Mr. Lanre Ogunsuyi, faulted the list being used by the Federal Government to pay the money, and insisted that it was different from that compiled two years ago by the World Bank.

Besides, he said, anyone operating a bank account should not be categorised as a poor person which the scheme was meant for.

According to him, the programme is bereft of definition and is deceitful as to who is qualified.

“It is highly politicised by the federal agencies handling it. The first set of states that qualified did so because they have a social register. But in the case of Ekiti, they jettisoned the social register.

“They are compiling their own list in the air. The modus operandi is also faulty because you can’t have a bank account if you are indeed poverty stricken. It is spurious that through out 2016 the Federal Government did not commit money to the scheme even after withdrawing from the account.

The people receiving the money are not the same people compiled by the World Bank; probably their names were compiled in a political meeting. It is possible that somebody benefiting from the state social scheme will still benefit from the Federal Government’s N5,000.

“We have 10,000 people benefitting under the state scheme with data capture and finger printing. We see their faces and pay them by hand. Whoever has a bank account cannot qualify to be a poor person because keeping a bank account pre-supposes you are saving some money for future needs.”

We’re using Jonathan’s register for disbursement – Presidency

The Presidency insisted that the disbursement of the fund was not designed to benefit only members of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, said this in an interview with one of our correspondents.

Akande said the social registers being used to determine beneficiaries in the states were prepared about three years ago, “long before the inception of the present administration.”

He said, “The CCT was not designed with partisan consideration. The social registers being used were prepared by the World Bank about three years ago.

“We understand that some Nigerians will doubt the government’s intention because of their past experiences.”

Akande also disclosed that money had been released for all the nine states that were pencilled down for the pilot scheme of the programme.

The states are Borno, Kwara, Bauchi, Cross River, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti.

He said the current challenge in some states was how beneficiaries without Bank Verification Numbers would be able to access the fund.

He however said arrangements were being made with banks to ensure that the money got to the beneficiaries irrespective of where they reside.

cursed Zoo

[quote author=Incredible120 post=52808665][/quote]I wonder the unrealistic campaign slogan they will come up with this time to deceive their gullible masses. I don't know when Nigerians will get wise. These stock of old fools that have been running this country since independent without any meaningful achievement, yet people keep voting them. Nigerian masses when will you ever say no to these rotten monkeys called politicians. On the day of the election, sit at home to let them know you don't believe their rubbish.

MrPresident1:
What will happen is that they will all dump APC and move to that new party, and then point to APC as the architect of your woes,

And then you will vote for them again , and your poverty will continue...

Jesus is coming on or before the 20th of January 2017

Absolutely my guy, you just spoke the reality. And th gullible masses will troop in en mass to vote the rogues in the new party as if they've not been the problem of Nigeria. All these new party, decamp, etc is just a mockery of democracy. I have not seen America formed a new party or decamped to another party just to run an office. Nigerian politicians are monkeys, I have no regrets for saying this, It's like they feel shortchanged in this administration hence the need to form a new party and continue what they know best; looting the treasury. Shameless fools that have not achieved anything for Nigeria. Ear problem; they fly to london, headache; they fly to Germany, stomach problem; they run to America for treatment, Education; they send their children abroad. Demons with no atom of sense of pride. No electricity, good road network, good hospital, dilapidated institutions, God willl punish all those monkeys and blood sucking demons that parade themselves as politicians.

HungerBAD:
Only in Lagos.

Lagos is indeed a model State.

Heck,other States don't even have fire fighters. We can ask those from Rivers,Bayelsa and Ekiti.


Kudos to Tinubu.

Kudos to Fashola
Kudos to Ambode.

Despite my mild reply to you, you have just shown me you are a mad dog that needs to be dealt with. I can see on your profile that you've just spent four days on the forum. You must be one of those loosed mouth bastards that KP opening new accounts after being banned. Your post shows also the kind of mentally derailed parents that brought you up.

You need urgent medical attention like seriously.

I thought you've said good bye, this shows you are completely insane. It's only a mad man that will say goodbye yet remain motionless like a frozen corpse

dotman4real007:

davtosh:
You need urgent medical attention.

Free world but restricted to any relationship whatsoever with the Afonjas

Cadamlk:
Sometimes i do wonder why election is always like war in this country. We all witnessed the hitch free US election lately.
I stand with Donald Trump when he said Africans need to be recolonized .

Call them black monkeys and they will attack you like cat chasing a rat for a prey, yet they've not proved through their conduct that they are not monkeys

davtosh:
Your comment has no meaning. It only shows your state of mind.

It's only Senselessness that makes ppl comment like that about someone you've never met before.

get a life

It's you that need to get a life. Why are you pained that she praised her lovely brothers?

TheFreeOne:
If your brain can connect with your eyes you would have seen from the OP post that he's from a riverine area.

But in your haste to throw tribal slur you end up exposing your stupidity and ignorance...SMH

Honestly these Afonjas are 1000 years backward, just look at someone's hometown in 21st century. A governorship aspirant for that matter

tossie101:
Hm!.. i kno they do charms but dont know much abt this

My sister just try to avoid them as much as you can. They are more dangerous than the snake that deceived Eve

tossie101:
Charms?.. really?

Absolutely, they don't date them with their clear eyes. They often take their names to their fake cele prophets to manipulate them to agree, evil lazy desperate igbo girls chasers

obailala:
Wonderful!! Chidimma should be there to receive an anointed version

Your obsession with Chidimma requires an immediate medical attention. Just zoom off anything igbo and face your dilapidated animal species

davtosh:
An Igbo woman praising Igbo men. I even thought it came from a Yoruba or Hausa woman. Lousy, greedy, tribalistic , curropt minded specie of humans.

Who do you want her to praise before? Do you have any thing in your life worthy to be praised. Is it your parasitic, envious and wicked nature she will praise?

kettle84:
you are correct.one in my area labour to feed her SW husband.

That's the only reason, to have hardworking igbo in-laws they will exploit with their parasitic nature.

tossie101:
Lol. Their quest for sex

They should direct that quest to their women and leave our beautiful daughters alone

tossie101:
Truth

These Afonjas are too snaky. You hate people, yet run after their women. They need to mix with igbo blood at all cost just inherit the hardworking nature of the igbos, yet they won't accept we are not mates.

tossie101:
Lol. Boko haram ? No thats too extreem.
Just giv her reasons to avoid them and let ur no be ur no.

I think our igbo parent's didnt lecture us well abt the unthrustworthy character of yorubas .
Which i bliv is wat yoruba parents tell their kids as they grow up
Dats why some of igbo laidies misbehave

I hate those people with unreserved hatred. They are just exploiting the civilized nature of our girl. But I wonder why the idiots will not stick to their dirty women

tossie101:
Lol yes dear they are d best im currently enjoying my igbo boo.
And he dey do me well lol...cnt think of leaving him for another

Igbos dating Afonjas have questionable ancestry. I can't imagine a true blooded igbo girl dating an Afonja. It's an abomination, we don't want to be infected with lazy and envious blood. PLEASE stick to your women and leave our daughters alone, the irony of it all is that you are chasing after the daughters of the tribe you hate with passion. Are you not ashamed of yourself?
