But Ironsi set the foundation for others to follow.

No he did not, Ironsi kept the 4 Regions as they were and even allowed them resource control

Others came in and scrapped the 4 Regions all together, as well as resource control

Since 1999 we have had Obasanjo(Yoruba), Yar'adua(Fulani), Jonathan(Ijaw) and Buhari(Fulani), as Presidents

So the question is, are Yorubas, Ijaws and Fulani's suffering any less than the rest of us that have not produced the President?

Lagos island was not entire Lagos State. BTW, Calabar and Lokoja were once capitals too. Why ain't people rushing to these places?

Neither Lokoja nor Calabsr were capital of Nigeria for over 70 years. Lagos was already a mega bustling city long before Tinubu was Governor

donphilopus:
None. That's because Tinubu made it possible.

Lagos was capital of Nigeria for 70 years, long before Tinubu was born

kettykin:
Nigeria should either restructure or create commercial, business capitals in each region to curb migration. The lopsided federal structure is why an igbo man will leave the east to Lagos to come and import or go to embassy etc

People have been talking about restructuring since before the war. If it has not happened since then, it will never happen

donphilopus:
Yet he governed Anambra and the indigenes have still been taking night buses to sleep under bridges in Lagos. Y'all think you're talking to kids here? The worst candidate in this election is Peter Obi and God would never allow that failure to win.

16 years of wailing for you.

Do you know any state in Nigeria where the indigenes dont take night bus to Lagos to sleep under the Bridge?

newsc:
Ndigbo in Nigeria owe to themselves a sincere and unemotional answer to this question before it is too late: what if Peter Obi does not win the 2023 presidential election? This is precisely the question the governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, courageously confronted in his piece which he titled, ‘History Beckons and I will not be Silent (Part 1)’. But rather than sit back and ponder over the strong possibility of Obi not emerging and the attendant implication for Ndigbo, the issue was treated with sentiment driven by...

If Peter Obi does not win, life goes on. The future of Igbos is not based on whether Peter Obi wins elections or not

IPOB always denying yet they are guilty.

If allegation is guilt, then anyone can be guilty as anyone can make allegation

Going by the earlier thread that made it to the front-page earlier....
(Soludo Visits Road Site Unannounced, Terminates Contract Over Incompetence)
https://www.nairaland.com/7464642/soludo-visits-road-site-unannounced


I couldn't stop wondering about the things which the Governor said inside the video.

1. That he had already called the Commissioner for Works to terminate the Contract -- and that the contract had already been terminated.

2. That the new contractor that would take over from the old contractor would be on the site the next day to take over from where the other contractor stopped...


Like, is that how Governors can make calls and have contracts terminated??
And then, a new standby contractor given the job already through making phonecalls,, without passing through the appropriate due-process protocols for contract-awarding??

It all depends on the terms of the contract both parties signed. I have seen some government contracts that states that the Governor can terminate the contract at any time if the level of compliance is not met

OsunOriginal:
I'm still wondering how Obi, a contestant without any governor supporting him, think he can make an impact in the coming election. Those who don't understand how elections work in Nigeria are in for compulsory election 101 lessons in Feb 2023. Unfortunately, the lessons may not be palatable.

The 36 Governors only equate to 36 votes

Tsaku001:
Atiku Abubakar of PDP and his Running mate Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa looks more serious and ready for the presidential seat than any other candidates of the 15 political parties contesting for the presidency of Nigeria.
His seriousness is shown clearly in his ability to engage a lot of people as regards his vision and policy for this country.

VOTE ATIKU ABUBAKAR OF PDP COME 2023.
#atikuorganisingforaction

Thise that are serious about elections are also serious about stealing your money

ScamHunter:
I'm wondering... Between APC and PDP which party is a greater calamity.

Personally, I see PDP as a thieves but APC as armed robbers abi bandits.

Both parties, APC and PDP, are so bad, they make the Devil look good

pdppower:
Peter Obi must warn his useless mob and gangsters of supporters to desist from threatening my wife and family, they have have done nothing wrong. He should be bold and man enough to face me squarely.

He should not push me to providing evidence that will tell the world about his cocaine scandal that has banished him from Malaysia. He should not make me explain to the world how I helped him pay $58k to security officials in Kuala Lumpur when they almost bursted him.

He still has my phone numbers. Ask him about Chief Ignatius K. Chinadozie.

The Tinubu alleged but unproven scandals will be a joke when I reveal those of Peter Obi..... I use to like you my brother until you betrayed me. The evil..... against my people have gone on for far too long but sadly, you are not the one to salvage the Igbo Nation. Remember what you did that unfortunate night at downtown Chinatown where you abandoned me and fled because you suspected guys following us were Police officers? I have more to reveal but don't make me do this

I'll be telling the world about the contracts you got to bring in coke for some gangsters in Bukit Bangsar, a suburb of Kuala. Remember your popular "We don make am" slang Or do we get started on how you built your Next shopping mall...Okwute, you won't like me.

And pls, send my $58k I need the money I don't care about your presidential bid or anything cos you're worse than Tinubu and Atiku combined and the Igbo Nation should stop their obvious hypocrisy right away. I will be coming on air soon to grant interviews if you don't desist from calling my name and sending your hoodlums to threaten my family.

Asari Dokubo has taken you up on this issue. He's a man who knows your past just like I do. He's challenged you but what did you do? instead of taking him to court you sent your killer squad to hunt him down with the leader being Chisom fearless from Durban, South Africa.

I put it to you Gregory that you are a merchant of illicit drugs and narcotics. Meanwhile, the footballer you destroyed his career, remember him? The guy who played for Selangor FC was arrested 5years ago for attempting suicide and he's currently suffering from depression. Your drugs destroyed him, Okwute. You have somehow found a way to secretly drive away the families of Abuchi Ngwoke and Ekene Collins, students in your school of gangsterism who've both been sentenced to death for drug crimes.

Despite my warnings, Okwute you found your way to bring cultism into Malaysia and in most cases use these boys to settle scores in your drug wars. Now, there are cult wars everywhere in Malaysia and the image of Nigeria have been badly damaged. Needless to remind you that the methamphetamine which you are part and parcel of as a cartel leader has destroyed the lives of our youths in Igboland. Hope you're happy seeing the frequent deaths in Igbo land these days because it's the result of your handiwork. Hope you will kind enough explain to the people you seek to lead that your campaign finances are from IPOB sympathisers outside Nigeria.

Igikay writes from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It is he who alleges that must prove, if he cannot prove, then the allegation is baseless

adecz:
When Igbo people make up posts
about what led to the civil war, they
always, avoid the details of the January 1966
Igbo coup.


They fail to mention that the real cause
of the war happened on that January
morning, when Igbo soldiers of Eastern and
Midwestern extraction went about a
well planned action of killing all the
political and military leaders of northern
extraction in one single night. Yoruba
political and military officers were also not spared.


They did this without touching a single
Igbo politician or military leader.


⏩Ahmadu Bello North Premier (N200 note)
⏩Tafawa Balewa Prime Minister(N5 note)
⏩Akintola Western Region Premier
⏩Brig Maimalari (Top ranking North military man)

And dozens of other Northerners were
killed by Igbo soldiers and Igbo expect
that the north will just keep quiet.



If the 1966 coup didn't happen, no
Civil war would have occurred.


Without provocation,You go to a
neighboring village and kill all their
Chiefs and they later come on a revenge
mission and kill all your men and children
and you you are now complaining to
the whole world that your children and
men were killed without mentioning that it
was your own people who started the conflict.

What you are calling Igbo coup happened 18 months before the war started. It was not what started the war, otherwise, it would not take 18 months to start

Igbo:
Thanks to Simon Ekpa

This one only saw the IPOB part of the report, he did not see the boko haram and bandits part of the report

As soon as he saw IPOB in the report he stopped reading. He couldnt even finish reading to see that the report said that IPOB and Boko haram threaten elections in different ways, while Boko harsm and bandits will actually attack voters, IPOB was threatening, not attacking

He cared less about those they say will attack, and cared more about those that they say pose a threat

fuckJones:
obi says, they are not terrorist

Nobody in the South East says IPOB are terrorists

It is only those who are not from the South East that say IPOB are terrorists

And thats why it makes no sense

He who wins the Southern part of the country is likely going to win the entire race. Who is more popular between Peter Obi and Ahmed Tinubu in SW, SS and SE?

Like for Peter Obi

Share for Tinubu

Outside the South West, Tinubu is a nobody in the rest of the South

Hmmmm

A protester who heckled King Charles as he visited York, Northern England, has been arrested by British Police

The man who has been identified as 23 year old Patrick Thelwell, a University student and part time Gardener who once stood as the Green party council candidate in York city, managed to throw 4 eggs at King Charles before British Police pounced on him, but all 4 missed.


Thelwell stuck his tongue out at journalists as he was bundled away by Police.

King Charles will not be pressing charges and Thelwell is likely to be released without charge in a few days

Shame on all those who say Tinubu is a sick old man

A Nigerian Army officer, Major Samson Raymond, has been ambushed and killed by unknown gunmen suspected to be bandits, in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State

May his soul rest in peace

Answer truthfully

As much as some Online urchins are trying to use the Biafran agitation to demarket Peter Obi, the whole thing is hypocritical. Just because the political profile of a certain Igbo man called Peter Obi is rising, the online urchins are trying to spin Biafra and IPOB into it:

Before: IPOB is going about their agitation the wrong way! They should join politics and elect those that will push their agenda foward!

Now: Peter Obi is being supported by IPOB! He has IPOB backing! Dont vote for Perer Obi, he is an IPOB project!

Before: Peter Obi killed Biafran activists when he was Governor, he killed MASSOB at Ezu River! He declared shoot at sight against Biafrans! He sent James Nwafor after Biafrans

Now: Peter Obi is sponsoring IPOB! He is an IPOB member! His son wore Biafran dress! Dont vote for Peter Obi, he will declare Biafra!

Before: IPOB is making too much noise! They are heating up the polity! They should pipedown

Now: I no longer hear anything about IPOB and Biafra! They have transferred their movement to Peter Obi. Dont vote for Peter Obi! A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for IPOB!

Before: Dont listen to Nnamdi Kanu, the man makes no sense!

Now: Lets spread the audio where Nnamdi Kanu said Peter Obi is a thief and is gay, he now makes a lot of sense!

Before: Biafran agitation is nonsense, if an Igbo man becomes President, you wont hear anything about Biafra again

Now: Dont vote for Peter Obi , a vote for Peter Obi or any Igbo man is a vote for Biafra! If Peter wins, Biafra will be the only agenda!

The hypocrisy is too much

Ever since the supreme court imposed Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, ran to Aso Rock to invite Soldiers to Imo, the state has become a killing field. Imolites have accused the Nigerian Army of acts such torture, arson and extra-judicial killings

A few days ago, the Nigerian Army reported that it carried out an operation in Orlu where they busted an ESN camp or shrine, and killed 4 suspects.

Facts have now been emerging about this military operation in Orlu. Below are pictures of a Soldier who killed a suspect, piled tires on the dead man, then proceeded to set it on fire to hide the crime. He even took a seperate picture in front of the burning corpse

This is s clear case of extra-judicial killing and this Soldier must be identified and dealt with by the authorities

News broke a few days ago that Soldiers answering a distress call that IPOB were about to attack checkpoint, got involved in an accident with their MRAP(mine resistant ambush protected vehicle) on their way there.

Five Soldiers lost their lives in the accident. While some may see this as unfortunate, I see it as an act of God.

Had that accident not happened, many innocent Igbo youths would have been dead by now.

The Nigerian Army, notorious for abuse of power, human rights violations and extrajudicial killings, would have labelled young Igbo man they dont like his face, as IPOB, and killed the person

Had that accident not happened, they would have paraded the lifeless bodies of several innocent Igbo men, put guns and Biafran flags by their bodies, taken pictures, and sent it to the press, claiming they killed ESN exchange of fire.

Had that accident not happened, by now, Army spokesman Brigadier Onyema Nwankwo, would have released his usual cocktail of lies called press statement, about how the Army "repelled and neutralised" invading IPOB/ESN

Has that accident not, mothers who sent their son's on errand, wives whose husbands were returning from work and many Igbo youths simply going about their lawful business, would be no more today

Had that accident not happened, many people would have been hospital fighting for their lives from different bullet wounds, and thats the lucky ones that are still alive

That accident saved many lives. That accident was an act of God

When Shonekan was head of the Interim government, politicians all over the place in the two political parties of the time, NRC and SDP, kept shouting that the Interim government was illegal! They kept asking Shonekan to go.

Well, after just three months, Abacha kicked out Shonekan, banned all political parties, removed all elected politicians and silenced all the politicians

It was then that the politicians realised that to shout was a privilege in civilian rule, that you never get under military rule
