Really congratulate you on your new appointment, it's God's doing and it's marvelous in our eyes.

Wanna plead if you can fit me in into the position you left, at least someone must fill that position. Till then.

08136456133 please do reach me

Pastor Alp Lukau is a real time man of Godm yes I can vouch for him anytime anyday. My sister and his Husband attends the church and are doing very fine.
Please don't speak I'll against him for now.

How do one gets to benefit from this evolution. Cause am open to such opportunities

It's actually one of the phones you can get in place of other expensive and too fragile phones. The phone cost 500 EUR
When converted to naira it goes for 219000.

Lead-way Tech offers you services on phones such as sales, way bill, repairs etc. Will be coming up with the specification.

Thanks bro for helping me along this line too.

c2far:
Congratulations on the feedback you currently have.

It's a radio station and one of the things they are interested in would be the basic. Take a deep breath at this moment and relax. I have a good feeling you will get the job.

Someone asked if they are paid well. Yes, they are relatively. The least you should get is about 100k. Some pay as high as 400k depending on the depth. You see that dude that said he did not apply because it was not freelance? Make him your friend. He or she understands how the industry work. That is where you should strive to ultimately be. That way you can manage social media account for more than one organisation. It's like earning 200k from more than one source. It's not an easy take but it is doable. It is a job for the future. It's one of the new jobs that appeared following the new media age. While a few others will disappear, it will get stronger at least for the next 10 years.

Back to your interview, these is what you should do -

1. Buy data and school yourself at this point. Run to YouTube to ask all the questions you want to ask and then see videos on how it is done.

2. Go online first and check all the online presence of the radio station. This is your arsenal and should be your focus as to promising what you can do.

3. Your role will include growing the twitter and instagram following and also the Facebook page likes. Explain to them that in terms of Alexa ranking, these are the top three social media platforms in Nigeria.

4. You already know the issues - sport and it looks like tour writing skill is good enough. Give them insight into how you will write engaging content that will lead to more interaction with the radio station. Tell them your target is to grow the station by word of Mouse, not Word of Mouth! The latter is for the marketing guys.

5. Tell them about hashtags and how you will draw a social media calendar for the station. A calendar means you will look at all the public issues and event that will trend in each month in the year and then pre-design contents ahead. In February for instance you will need to guess what the hashtag will be and tell the key commemorations in February - Valentine, Int'l Day of the Girl Child etc. You will need to fit a social media plan that syncs the radio station into this.

6. Someone mentioned you having good graphic skills. Run to Canva.com and quickly learn how to use the tool. You can design anything yourself afterwards for DP etc. You also will need to know how to do research on social media. Guess what, universities are already coming up with a means and style through which social media updates can be used in research work. It tells you of the huge potentials available.

7. You will need to name drop. The top blogs in Nigeria. What they do. Their costing plan. You will also need to promise your deliverables carefully by telling them what you will need from them. For examples if the radio station is not streaming online, you need to ask for that. That it will be cool to have a camera in the radio station. You may also ask that they pay for adverts on Twitter and Facebook etc. SEO, SEM, Mail Chimp, Eskimi, Badoo, Google Analytics, Retargeting are names and acronyms you must drop to seem very capable. Don't worry if you do not know all. What we need is that you get the job first. Then 'sacrifice' 70k to do your first training.

8. Let me know if 1-7 makes sense to you. I will continue from here tomorrow morning. On the contrary, I am ready to prep you for the interview at zero cost to you. Let's say my own way of wishing you a happy new year.

Best wishes bro.

AWon ole

You people have no plan for the masses save for your innate desire to loot and destroy

2019 you will not succeed

I never forced him on you fellow but rather defending my choice. But then list out his offence till then he is a force and a better choice for nigerians

A nonentity, always displaying crass stupidity

WHY THE CHOICE OF ATIKU ABUBAKAR AS THE NEXT NIGERIA PRESIDENT SHOULD BE THE BEST CHOICE

1. He is one of the few Nigerians that have what it takes to capture power back from this desperate government.

2. He has consistently developed himself while in office and after he left office.

3. He is not just telling Nigerians what he can do, but what he has done as well.

4. He has developed blueprints outlining the myriads of problems of Nigeria and practical solutions.

5. He has created more than 50,000 direct jobs and hundreds of thousands of indirect jobs. So job creation is part of his skills.

6. He is not only educated but he has one of the best and largest university and group of schools producing part of our best graduates today.

7. A detribalized Nigerian that accommodates people irrespective of their ethnicity and religion. There is no region that is not represented in his employment. And people of every tribe are all around him.

8. A man that accommodates people of different religions as both Christians and Muslims are all around him(eg HIS WIVES).

9. He carries the youths along and has promised to give youths adequate representation in his government.

10. He also promised to groom the youths to take over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria so as to actualise the #NotTooYoungToLead without casualties.
11. He has the money to match APC money politics at the poll
So brethren think Atiku Abubakar

ATIKUNATION MEDIA TEAM

Coppied

His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR GCON is different from others!!

Can anyone prove which court or tribunal has convicted His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR for corruption both here in Nigeria and outside Nigeria?

Now beg u to find time to read the Supreme Court's judgement on ATIKU vs INEC.

His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR was never involved in any bribery or corrupt trial in USA. During the trial, Atiku 's name was never mentioned.
If Atiku was involved as many foes claim, why didn't the USA court issue extradition warrant against him?

Why has the US court not issued warrant against him or the interpol would have arrested him and arraigned him by now.
This is a clear case of "giving a dog a bad name to justify hanging it".

Halliburton scandal is dated back to 1994 and it has nothing to do with ATIKU ABUBAKAR.

But if u forget easily the three Nigerian leaders mentioned in the scandal are:

1. Late Gen. Sani Abacha
2. Gen Abdulssami Abubakar
3. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo

His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR was never mentioned.

However, Williams Jefferson was video taped by the FBI for collecting bribe.

FBI obtained a search warrant and conducted a search in his house and found a huge amount of money. He claimed that he collected the money to give to His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR to motivate him to establish a business in Nigeria and His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR has denied his allegation.

Now Let's ask these questions.

1.Was ATIKU ABUBAKAR seen in the crime scene?answer is No.

2. Is ATIKU ABUBAKAR Jefferson's business partner? Answer is No.

3.Which business does he intend to set up in Nigeria? The answer is No.

4. Is there any document to show ATIKU ABUBAKAR involvement? The answer is No.

5. Why has the FBI not invited ATIKU ABUBAKAR for interrogation?

6. Why didn't the court invite ATIKU ABUBAKAR?

There is no phone conversation between the duo to suggest any transaction.

Did ATIKU ABUBAKAR have any contract awarded to him as VP? The answer is No.

By 2006 him (ATIKU ABUBAKAR) and his boss were involved in serious crisis and had lost power. So, How then can he influence anything?

Jefferson has long been sentence why has he not mentioned ATIKU ABUBAKAR again during his trial?

Remember His Excellency ATIKU ABUBAKAR GCON remains the only Nigeria political leader that was declared crime free by the U.S government.

These are questions begging for answers.

With these, I humbly rest my case my fellow Nigerians.

Do not be deceive by the enemies of Nigeria progress!

For a reborn and new Nigeria!
Think ATIKU for President 2019 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATIKUNATION MEDIA HOUSE

Despite being a graduate of political science have never come across with some of these terms. Kudos ops. Political science is a course where anybody can make inputs without restriction.

*NNAMDI KANU VINDICATED AGAIN... You hate him for telling you the truth, but the truth has come out from your white God.*

*READ AND SHED TEARS*

*"DONALD TRUMP'S SPEECH ON WHY HE HATES AFRICANS & ARABS".*

*We are not obliged, even for a second, to try to prove to anybody and especially to blacks and Arabs that we are superior people - we have demonstrated that to the black and Arabs in 1001 ways.*
*The America we know today was not created by wishful thinking.We created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat, and blood.....we do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks - We must admit, without any fear, that we don't like them, and for so, so, many valid reasons.*

*The fact that blacks and Arabs look like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. if God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently. Whites, blacks, yellow, the rulers and the ruled. intellectually we are superior to the blacks and Arabs.That has been proven beyond the reasonable doubt over the years.*

*I believe that a white man is an honest, God fearing person who has demonstrated practically the right way of being a human. By now every one of us has seen it practically that blacks and Arabs cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other.*

*They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives, alcoholism, witchcraft, indulging in sex, pretending in church, jealousy, fighting and complaining of bad leadership; but, yet refuse to take a decisive action and protest to remove the brigands from position of power.*

*Their only main concern (which according to me is stupidity of the highest magnitude) is same - sex marriages.They keep pointing fingers to us, we the west, that we have legalised it in our countries, and that we always outspokenly support gay people around the world. And because they always foolishly want to demostrate their ignorance, hatred and fear about the subject, some of them have even enacted harsh laws to codemn their own gay citizens.This shows that beyond illusions and doubt, what people do with their own bodies is Africans main concern. I hear they even strip their women publicly.*

*Let us all accept the fact that the black man is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence.To make the matter worse, he can do everything possible to defend his stupidity. Give them money for development and they will fight and create hatred and enmity for themselves. Drill oil wells for them and they will not have peace all the days of their life.*
*See, for instance, what's happening in Nigeria (a Country blessed with abundant resources), Southern Sudan, Malawi, DRC just to mention a few.*
*"This proves to anybody including a stupid fool that Africans do not know what they want. isn't that plausible"?*
*"They are like monkeys looking for already ripping banana all over the world!!!.*

*Therefore that the white man is created to rule the black man, Africans will always have day dreams.*
*And here is the creature (black man) that lacks foresight but only sees what is near him and still fails to know what to do"*
*A black man is stupid to the extent that he cannot plan for his life beyond a year. Therefore how can they develop and live longer.*

*"Corruption in the west (And China) is a big abomination, but in Africa, it's so huge that it is slowly becoming an acceptable way of life!!!.*(Shame, isn't it?)

*They sing and rejoice to their corrupt political leaders.They worship their scandal-ridden religious leaders like their gods. Lest you forget, these so called Africans are praising, dancing and praying for the people that have impoverished them,and who comes to hide their loot here.*

*Then which fool argues that the black man is not born a beggar, grows a beggar, looks a beggar, falls sick as a beggar and dies a beggar. this has been proven beyond reasoning.*
*I wonder why even up to now most Africans still go to school by force, and those who are at school are are just drug addicts who don't know what took them there. This is a pregnant stupidity in Africa that needs Jesus's immediate second coming. the body of Africans is a very fertile ground for all diseases in the world because they don't fear even HIV/AIDS.*
*This leaves me with a question: Are our eyes created the same with those Africans? I hear there are still cultures in Africa that prohibit them from using latrines which is very annoying.*

*"They cried for independence but have failed to rule themselves". For sure being African is a very untreatable disease that even prayers are not enough.*
*They have minerals but they cannot do anything with it. Therefore let us (whites) go to Africa and pick what we can pick and leave what is of no use. Poverty is a disease to the whites, but to the blacks it is very normal.*

*"Look at what is currently going on in Nigeria National Assembly. Legislators amending the constitution to favor themselves at the expense of two (200) million Nigerians. The present administration now have no economic blueprint plan, rather than noise and false propaganda. Characterised with hatred and witch hunt/impoverishment".*
*"Majority of these legislators are treasury looters who are intellectually barren but using the ill gotten wealth to oppress the citizens of that great country".*

*"What a shame"!*
*Black people with black sense, and a sick president in London for medical tourism!!!.*

*The worst tragedy in Africa is that if you dare stand up and speak up for what's right, you may end up regretting.*
*"The few wise and open-minded Africans who have tried to educate these fools about civilization have met the worst.They have been pushed hard on the wall, they have been silenced and others have been killed".*
*Before I finish, let me tell Africans that before you jump and call me a racist, an anti-blacks or whatever term you may wish to use against me,1st tackle runaway corruption, dreadful terrorism, tribalism, poverty, unemployment, diseases, illiteracy, ignorance, and inequality, that have put your whole continent on the verge of collapse".*
*"Hate me or love me, I don't care.I know this is the plain truth which will never see the light of the day to the cowards that are afraid to be told as it is".*
*"Jesus please hurry and save Africans and Arabs". A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.*
*By- Donald .J. Trump.*

*PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERY AFRICAN AND POLITICAL LEADERS SO THAT AFRICA IN OUR OWN TIME WILL EMERGE AN INDUSTRALISED CONTINENT TO PUT THE TRUMPS AND WHITE SUPREMACIST TO SHAME.*

*IF YOU READ THIS AND YOU ARE NOT CHALLENGED AS A HUMAN YOU ARE A BORN FOOL!*

You can say that again

The Vadoma people, also known as the Bantwana tribe, which means children/descendants, are a tribe living in the north of Zimbabwe, primarily in the Urungwe and Sipolilo districts on the Zambezi river valley.

There are many in their community, who can't wear shoes due to the shape of their feet. They only have two big toes on each foot.
They don't have middle toes and the two outer ones are turned in. They still can walk but with some difficulty according to the shape, running is also difficult to them. It is said this condition helps them while climbing trees, though. The elders of the Vadoma people claim that their remote ancestors were bird like beings who came from the stars and mixed their DNA with early earth women to produce offspring. The elders state that their ancient ancestors came from the star systems of Sirius and first established colonies on a planet within our solar system that they refer to as Liitolafisi.

A substantial minority of vaDoma has a condition known as ectrodactyly in which the middle three toes are absent and the two outer ones are turned in, resulting in the tribe being known as the "two-toed" or "ostrich-footed" tribe. This is an autosomal dominant condition resulting from a single mutation on chromosome number 7. It is reported that those with the condition are not handicapped and well-integrated into the tribe. While possibly an aid in tree climbing, the condition prevails because of a small genetic pool among the vaDoma and is propagated by the tribal law that forbids members to marry outside the group.

Due to the vaDoma tribe's isolation, they have developed and maintained ectrodactyly, and their comparatively small gene pool has resulted in the condition being much more frequent than elsewhere. The Eastern Shona Kalanga of the Kalahari Desert also have a number of members with ectrodactyly and may be related. -WIKI/CLUEBEES

When the street orchins won election, APC, PMB, and Nigeria Moslems where busy gallivanting around the world, in UN general assembly meeting,calling supporting, promoting and funding the creation of free state of Palestinian, and western Sahara, with out consulting anybody, Even Nigerian ASUU president DR Isa Fagae and others were busy organising campaign for free western Sahara state, forgotten that they have the worst case in thier back yard(Biafra state) ohhh! They thought that after promoting,campaigning and funding the independence Palestinian and western Sahara, isreal and Morocco will clap for them and prepare indomie and egg for them. They too are now funding, supporting, sponsoring, campaigning calling for self determination of both Palestinian western Sahara and Biafra, they said Biafra case too should be treated equal. The UN, AU,ECOWAS trestie that Nigeria is a signatory to allow self determination through referendum. When ECOWAS court want to use that to rule in favour of Nnamdi kalu, Nigeria threatened to evict and stop funding ECOWAS, Morocco decided to leave north america and apply for ECOWAS member so he can accommodate and fund ECOWAS with isreal if Nigeria government do otherwise. ECOWAS can not abandoned thier treaties BC of Nigeria, Nigeria accepted to release Nnamdi kalu to avoid ECOWAS doing that by ruling in favour of nnamdi kalu and ipob, but vow never to allow referendum. why do u think Morocco's application to join ECOWAS was accepted by ECOWAS head of state last two week, why do u think all ECOWAS countries are supporting Biafra except president Baro of the Gambia, why do u think Israeli prime minister visited ECOWAS head of state in their last meeting. Why do u thing Nigeria and the Gambia boycotted the meeting for the first time since the history of ECOWAS. OBJ went there on his own to beg. Why do u thing OBJ adviced fg to beg agitators at yaradua center. Look ignorance of APC and PMB, thier unpreparedness to power,and injustice in Nigeria is what is destroying Nigeria today not Nnamdi kalu or IPOB. The UN general assembly meeting is on August, what do we expect? A declaration of self determination and referendum for Palestinian, Western Sahara, Catalonia, and Biafra, or maintaining status quo till next 5 yrs? Thier is a pressure on Nigeria from Islamic world led by Saudi, Palestinian people, western Sahara people to let Biafra go so they too can have freedom. Even Turkish is mounting pressure. So u can see thier is little of what Nigeria government, police, army can do about this matter now, that why they can no longer keep Nnamdi kalu on detention, he can not be rearrested again, IPOB members can no longer be arrested, soldiers are no longer shooting. The only solution now is meeting, meeting,meeting,and meeting, consulting, consulting consulting, begging begging begging and begging, and that is what osinbanjo is doing, but I think he should listen to OBJ and call Nnamdi kalu and beg him, talk to him. Ask him what he want because with PMB 97% and 5% statement on aljazera interview and his loop sided appointment and hatred to biafrans by some Nigeria, are making the osinbanjo move impossible. look, education, and exposure is so important in choosing a leader, see the big problem PMB created for Nigeria, and he is not here to quench it. When OBJ adviced to ignore Nnamdi kalu and his radio Biafra the way he ignored sharia law, PMB threatened to crush him. The same way he threatened to crush militant. What is coming is bigger than Nigeria. Now u know why Nnamdi kalu is still talking tough. Now u know why isreal RABBI have to sign his bail, if anything happened to him, we are in UN AU Morocco and isreal mess . our attitude on Facebook is not helping the matter, today osinbanjo is having a meeting with media editors . Nigerians, this might be the end. My solution is restructure Nigeria now. .

Wow, thanks for this timely post... Also had an experience with a girl called NIKE.. The first experience with her was under a stir case, I grind and dig until I cum on the floor... When she noticed it, she frowned at me and never wanted to talk with me... I pleaded and asked her why the change of mood... She then told me she wanted it inside her. But I felt the day was still fresh and she was going to work, having it in her would stain her, but she refused saying it wasn't my problem... Since then I feared her and every street girls... Please your advice

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again!

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to other people....Who will know?

macho44:
According to a Facebook user who shared this story with us, he claimed the narrative is a true life experience, passed down from his ancestral lineage. The story begins this way;

Mazi Kiwe left Nnewi in 1927 with his maternal uncle to Port Harcourt to learn carpentry. He served his master for seven good years before he was "settled" or freed to start his own workshop Igwe Ocha was renamed Port Harcourt by the colonial government. It was the main port for export of slaves and palm produce.
Many warriors in the hinterlands had their human barns or warehouses at Igwe Ocha where they would keep human beings kidnapped from their towns in the mainland and gradually be selling them into slavery to the Europeans.The big slave merchants had empowered buying agents who had gangs of strong men moving round the towns to kidnap able-bodied men and women for onward movement to Igwe Ocha for sales. Some unfortunate slavery victims were beaten to submission while many died as they resisted being captured.
Relatives were known to have conspired to sell their fellow siblings into slavery in other to inherit the victims' wives or land; or out of sheer jealousy or envy. On that fateful evening, Mazi Kiwe greeted Pa Douglas Lookman as usual and steadied his attention on his chisel as he worked on chairs he must deliver to a client the next day. His customer was a temperamental type who had paid upfront for the funiture delivery.
"Pa Douglas, I'm so busy as you can see and cannot play drought now, I have an urgent delivery of a pair of chairs to make tomorrow morning" Kiwe told his older friend.
But Douglas didn't come to play drought that evening. He had found Kiwe very trustworthy enough to tell him his well guarded secret. He left to return the next day.
"Kiwe my son", Pa Douglas began, "I have observed you for some years now and have come to trust you". Kiwe was confused as he had never seen his old friend in such a sober mood.
"I could tell from your accent that you are from Otolo Nnewi" Kiwe was shocked by such allusion as they had never discussed his village before this time.
Kiwe was particularly surprised because everybody in the yard knew that Pa Douglas hated Igbo people. Pa Douglas openly would rain invectives on Igbo race on slightest provocation hence making most Igbo co-tenants to avoid him.
"I know you are shocked by my statement, don't be because my mother was from Otolo and I can tell all the dialects in Nnewi", he continued.
"Who are you Pa Douglas?" Kiwe charged. "I will never listen to you until you reveal your real identity, perhaps you are okara madu okara muo or superhuman".
"Is Dim Ohachie still alive?" Kiwe's skin instantly grew goose pimples.
Every Nnewi youth was rattled upon hearing that name. The hearing of the of name "Dim Ohachi" could make a sleeping man wake up and scale a fence for safety.
"Dim Ohachie was my uncle, he sold me into slavery; I'm from Okpuno Nnewichi Nnewi", Pa Douglas said and started crying.
"Why didn't you go back when slavery was abolished by the colonial government? You can go back now" Kiwe advised.
"I can never go back to Nnewi; he will kill me if he hears that I returned; not after acquiring my father's land, palm trees and breadfruits.
"Besides, Dim Ohachie was onyemuo na afu uzo or a living evil spirit who has turned grasses and roots into his messengers.
"How else can I explain the method he used to capture me and sold me into slavery?
"I can vividly recall that he sent for me and I arrived at his house but what happened thereafter and how I ended up at Igwe Ocha, I could not remember till date.
"I was not the only one he sold from our village; after the ban on slavery and our eventual freedom, some settled in Ikwerre while I decided to live in Okirika.
"My real name is Anaka and my dead father's name is Nwokekeke. I had to change my names to Douglas Lookman to break away from my past.
"So my son, you can see why many of us were betrayed and sold by our relations from our various Igbo towns hate you and the children of our wicked relations.
"I have related my story to my children and have urged them to avenge my humiliation because an injury to one is an injury to all", Pa Douglas ended with a heart full of vengeance.
Until the whole Igbo people in the hinterlands openly and genuinely apologize to our brothers in Ikwerre, Obiakpor, Okirika, Port Harcourt and to those inhabiting the creeks of Rivers state, their hatred and inclination to have a pound of flesh on Igbos in the main land shall never abate.
Their ancestors told them of the atrocities perpetrated against them by their relations who sold them off into slavery in the most callous way. The heartless seizure of Igbo landed properties by Rivers people during and after Biafran war as "abandoned properties" was in retaliation of the injustice suffered by their ancestors.
The mindless taking of the abandoned properties belonging to the Igbo's was considered a tit for tat for loss of land in the Igbo mainland by their forefathers to the greedy relatives and slave merchants. The Igbo leaders shouldn't gloss over the injustices of the past.
Apology needs to be tendered. Who knows? Some of our brothers, upon genuine appeasement, might be touched to return the seized properties of their fellow Biafrans.
With a genuine reconciliation, Rumuokoro and other Igbo cities corrupted with "R" prefix by post-civil war government of Rivers state may be changed to their Igbo identity.
Truth be told, our forefathers were very very mean to our brothers"

This sardonic and barbaric... I apologise on behalf of my clan, the Agbodikes of Ihiala of any wrong doings to the Igbo's in riverine areas...
