How can any sensible human being find any non existing relationship between a more sophisticated and rational yoruba race to a backward jihad loving tribe whose sojourn around Sub-Saharan Africa was of bloodshed and forceful conquest.

WesternOligarch:
Lol....this confused social political climber.

The article is full of sophistry, falsehoods and fallacies sprinkled with half truths, sentiments and biases targeted majorly at diluting the indigineous people of Yorubaland while tactically not talking about the ethnic syncretic of the north. Yoruba's and northerners have absolutely nothing in common. From our ideologies and attitudes to life there's a big difference between both people.

We Yoruba's aren't known for religious extremism or terrorism.

Yorubas are largely progressive and socialist liberals. Hausa/fulani are largely retrogressive and conservative extremists.

Yorubas believe in orderliness and don't subscribe to grazing cattle openly destroying people's property.

Yoruba's live in cities and villages like normal human beings. Fulani lives in the forest reserves like wild animals with their cattle.

Yoruba's don't subscribe to oppressing our women or girl children, women in Yorubaland are given equal freedom and opportunities as men(too much freedom in some cases) and we also don't subscribe to child marriages.

Yorubas rich and poor believes alot in education and it's ability to advance societies. Hausa/fulani believe that western education is Haram.

We Yoruba's don't pardon yahoo boy's, terrorists, militants or bandits. Hausa/fulani believes that terrorists are humans like us and should be pardoned and reintegrated back into society.

We believe in freedom of expression; it's why bobrisky is still walking freely in Lagos. Northerners believe in breaking beer bottles and banning mannequins because it is Haram.

We produce Noble laureates, tech Titans, globally recognized scientists, athletes, execs and self made business people. The north produces military men, presidents with school cert results and a large voting population.

There might have been intermarriages and inter relations with neighboring Northern tribes but hausa/fulani are never one or the same people.

Lastly what really makes a person Yoruba apart from his paternal genes is his embodiment of qualities known to Yoruba's and the tribal loyalty you have towards Yoruba, it's people and it's interests, if you find yourself scheming against or working against Yoruba interest it's most likely that you're not Yoruba but either an imposter or a bastard. Yoruba isn't just an ethnic group but a religion, a state of mind and an ideology

Farooq A. Kperogi like most non Yoruba's are quick to talk about Yoruba history trying to delegitimize the rights of indigineous Yoruba people and pushing silly narratives and agendas but would hardly talk like this about their regions or tribes..... ibadan men like me will see straight right through your bvllshit Mr Kperogi.

No bad blood with Northern people but it's an insult to say yorubas and fulanis are alike. It gets me really triggered.

A right thinking individual still not seeing the obvious scam and shenanigans of most religious tenets need to get his brain examined by a psychologist.

iamDrRhymes:
Well, things are much complex than how the writer placed it. There is a politics in the Nigerian Music Industry- individuals that sit and decide who gets what.

Efforts can be frustrated by ‘Unknown Hands’. I know what am saying. It’s never about who has the best song or who is working hard.

you're right about the politics, even though I don't know how the music industry politics works but I know for sure that politics is the order of the day in most of our creative industry.
Meanwhile I'll like you to explain better how the music politics works.

How to Get To the Republic of Benin Through Seme Border
There are different ways to get into Benin from Nigeria
Idi Iroko Border
The Seme Border

The Different Options To get into Benin Republic
1. Flight - Getting a flight to Republic of Benin is often difficult, flights are only available on specific days
2. Boat - This is another option to cross into the country, however this is not well-structured

Cost for Crossing Seme Border
To be sincere I do not know why they do this, but you will be made to pay before your passport is stamped. You pay about 1,000 for already passport passport and between 3,000 to 7,000 for virgin passports. Note: You wont get a receipt for these payment, this means it is definitely not going into the Govt pocket.

Op, I worked in a hotel for 6 years before deciding that the job is not for me anymore.
There is nothing hidden under the sun that I've not seen or heard before....
I personally think everyone should have the "hotel work experience" Because the job will prepare your mind to always expect the unexpected.
In my 6 years of working in a hotel, I've seen things that have changed my life and my psychology , I've seen things that can destroy marriages, businesses, familes etc.

It was a wonderful experience but I just decided that I was done with it and needed to move on.

ubunja:
Women will not buy the cow if the milk is free.

SEXUAL VS NON SEXUAL NEEDS.
Women's needs are divided into two groups: non sexual needs and sexual needs.

Men's needs are also divided into two groups: non sexual needs and sexual needs.

Sexual needs are sex, cuddles, kisses, MouthAction, massages, sex pics, sexting, phone intimacy etc. Anything that is sexual.

Non Sexual needs are food, shelter, money, clothes etc. Anything that has nothing to do with sex.

Women date for non sexual needs.

Men date for sexual needs.

That is, women date FOR THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX: i.e a man's resources, money, time, energy, protection, skills, investments etc. If a woman already has these things by herself she will see no reason to date: "I make my own money I don't need a man"
Women don't see a relationship as a source of sex the way men do. Women ALWAYS get sex offered to them everywhere they go. They don't need a relationship to get it.

Meanwhile men date FOR SEX AND THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SEX. And a man who gets plenty of sex from plenty of women will see no reason to date, e.g a Player.

For men relationships are sexual. The loss of a relationship usually means the loss of sex.

Men and women do not date for the same reason: Women date for financial security. Men date for sexual security.

A woman dates to monopolize a man's finances and have exclusive access to his resources. A man dates to monopolize a woman's sexuality and have exclusive access to her body.

THE MILK.
If the milk is free the cow will not be bought.

Women's milk is anything that is sexual - sex, BJs, kisses, hugs, sex pics etc - their Sexuality. If women give their sexuality free to men, then men will not buy the cow. The cow is the woman. And buying the cow is marrying the woman. Since marriage is the One thing women want from men. Since marriage is the One thing that gives a woman access to all his resources, even after he dies.

Men's milk are the things a man can do for a woman OUTSIDE of sex. THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX : his time, energy, money etc. If a man gives these things free to women, then women will not buy the cow. The cow is the man. And buying the cow is giving the man sex.

In a marriage, you are a husband because you bring the Non Sexual Things.

And a woman is a wife because she brings the Sexual Things.

Hence a man who can no longer provide is replaced.

And a woman who is no longer sexually appealing is similarly replaced.

DADDY GOVERNMENT.
When the government provides women with money, assistance, protection etc - things that have NOTHING to do with sex - we say women are now married to the government.

The government is now their husband.

Because a husband is not a husband by bringing in sex but by bringing in things that have nothing to do with sex. A wife is the one who is a wife by bringing sex and things that have to do with sex.

A WOMAN'S MILK.
A woman's milk is her sexuality. And her sexuality are the things she does for a man she loves. Some of these things may not be strictly sexual, like cooking, washing and cleaning for him, but they're nonetheless intimate. A wife will be pissed if she finds some woman cooking for her husband or washing his clothes. Because it's as good as that woman is sleeping with him. Because no woman does those things for a man she's not intimate with.

Which is why if a man asks a female stranger to wash his clothes or cook for him she'll reply, "Am I your wife?"
And if he asks for sex, again she'll reply, "Am I your wife?"
Which is the same exact response to two different questions because household chores and sex fall under the same category of Wifey Duties. And Wifey Duties ARE the woman's milk.

If a woman gives a man this milk free, then the man will see no reason to marry her. Because already he has a wife without a wife.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY women give milk free to men.

Because of the way women's logic works.

When women date a man, they test his ability to provide by making him spend as a boyfriend. If he consistently provides at the boyfriend stage, women conclude, "There must be more money where that came from". And there usually is. Now, women take that same mentality, that same mindset, and apply it to sex.

Women feel they must do household chores for a boyfriend and especially sleep with him for him to see what they can do, for him to "sample the goods", to give him a taste of things to come, to show him what he can look forward to if he marries them. To show him "there's more where that came from".

But here's the problem; men NEVER view sex as a sample.

To men sex is a conquest. Always. As a woman, once a man tastes your pussy, he's NOT wondering how sweet it will be after he marries you. Or what he must do to wife it up. Instead he's wondering how your best friend tastes like, compared to you, since she has a bigger booty. He's wondering how your sister tastes like, since she's younger and fresher. You, he's done with you.

The only way a woman can give a man a foretaste or a sample of the goods, is in how she dresses. She dresses to feed his imagination. The glimpses he'll get of her thighs and breasts will show him there's more where that came from.

But it goes deeper than this.

If a man approaches a woman, it's because he's taken by what he sees and hears - her face, body and voice. All these are the woman's milk. And she must not freely give these away without compensation. Especially over the phone.

Phones have given men access to women's milk for free. And as a woman you'll have to severely limit your presence and availability over the phone and on Social Media. To guard your milk. This means:

No chatting with a man on WhatsApp or any chat app. Ever. If a man wants to talk to you he must call you - over the phone - not over WhatsApp or Skype. And even then you keep calls brief and push for him to come see you personally. If a man wants to talk to you for hours he must take you out on a date. Instead of spending on airtime he must spend on you directly on a date.

And this is going to sound crazy, but NO PICS online whatsoever. No dirty pics. No clean pics. No pics whatsoever on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. And especially no profile pics on WhatsApp. A man must come see you to see your pretty face, not take out his phone and open your profile pic.
If you absolutely must post a pic, then choose a dull one. As counterproductive as that may sound. While most girls use filters to enhance their profile pics and they become hotter in pictures than in real life, you oppose them: You post mediocre pics but dazzle in person. That way men will look forward to hanging out with you in person.

Be unavailable EVERYWHERE except face to face. And you'll score more dates from men.

And the more men take you out on dates, the more they're forced to spend and the more they spend the more they get invested and the more they get invested the more they'll take you seriously. We talked about this on Pleasures Of The Cash.

And on dates don't allow a man to take selfies with you. To miss you he must have no pics of you. And when he misses you he must know that the only way to see you is to come see you. Not open his phone gallery.

This is how a woman guards her milk.

A MAN'S MILK.
Everything that a man does for, or gives to, his MALE FRIENDS (favours, money, time, connections, etc), these are called Non Sexual Attention and they are the same exact Non Sexual Attention a woman wants from a man.

These are the same exact things that fall under the category of "Husband Duties".

Husband Duties and Friend Duties are one and the same thing. They are a man's Non Sexual Attention. His Non Sexual Attention is the man's milk.

The difference between what a man does for his friends and what he does for his wife is a matter of degrees. Levels. He does the same for them, only in varying degrees.

If it always appears like your girlfriend or wife is always competing with your friends for your time, money, favours etc. IT IS BECAUSE REALLY YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR WIFE IS COMPETING WITH YOUR FRIENDS FOR YOUR TIME, MONEY, FAVOURS etc. All which are your Non Sexual Attention. Your Non Sexual Attention is the one thing you share with your guy friends. The one thing you share with women. That's why your girlfriend is always complaining about your friends. Because she's COMPETING with your friends.

The very things men share with each other are the same exact things women want from a boyfriend or a husband.

Men better learn to guard these things jealously. Because they are the only thing of value they have that women want.

Some guys last had sex months ago, because they're doing women favour after favour that women should have been paying for with sex. Some guys don't have girlfriends because girls have seen no point in dating them because the guys are doing boyfriend duties without being boyfriends.

No one is going to buy the cow if the milk is free. Not men. Not women.

YOUR SEXUAL ATTENTION IS TRASH.
As a man your Sexual Attention, of which your dick is central, is worthless garbage. It literally has no value to women. A woman can't marry you for sex. Because women are offered sex 24/7 365. Everywhere a woman goes, men want to fvck her. Why will she marry for something freely available to her?

YOUR NON SEXUAL ATTENTION IS PURE GOLD.
While as a guy, your Sexual Attention is rubbish, your Non Sexual Attention, of which your money is central, is the diamond mine.

No matter you're the ugliest baboon in the hood or the fattest pig in the township, no matter you're blind, or in a wheelchair or you don't even have a dick; your Non Sexual Attention remains as precious as diamonds and rubies to women.

Because when a woman has heavy items to lift, and the ugliest baboon offers his help, she won't say no. When a girl is stranded far from home and the blackest ugliest man offers her transport fare back home, she won't say no. When the prettiest girl in class can't get her assignments done on time and the fattest unsightly boy in class offers to write them for her, she won't say no. When Ms Nigeria is being robbed and Nigeria's brokest man intervenes to save her, she will gladly welcome it.

All these things that these men are doing for these women are the men's Non Sexual Attention. It is the only thing of value men have to offer women. All because men are stronger, smarter and faster. This is the selling point of men. It is their treasure. Their milk.

And they need to guard it jealousy.

WOMEN'S NON SEXUAL ATTENTION.
Women's Non Sexual Attention - of which money is core - is worthless and has little value. That is why a woman can come into a marriage broke and empty-handed and a man be okay with it.

A woman's money and a man's dick have the same value: ZERO. Men don't date women for money, just like women don't date men for dick.

Meanwhile, A woman's pussy and a man's money also have the same value: IT'S PURE GOLD. Men date and marry for sex. Women date and marry for money.

"HEY! CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOUR?"
A woman, instead of asking for money from men, she can instead ask for favours. And because men don't mind doing things for women as long as those things don't cost money they'll do it for her. But what men don't realise is that a favour or a free service is really money in another form.

A man's time, a man's attention and a man's money are the same thing because they're equal and have the same value. Since Attention = looking, and looking = Time, and time = Money. Giving someone your attention is giving them your time and your time is really your money.

That is why in Red Pill philosophy money and attention are used interchangeably as the most valuable thing men have. And the sweetest thing in the universe for women.

A WOMAN IS NEVER A STRANGER.
Women are the weaker sex and they won't last one day if men dealt with them the way men deal with other men.

Men are hard on each other and don't do each other favours unless it's between friends. If you're a guy and the other man doesn't know you he will never give you a lift in his car, buy you a drink, pay your transport fare, fight for you, give you a place to sleep or buy you food. That only happens between men who are friends.

But here's the thing, when a man deals with a woman, a total stranger of a woman, a woman he has NEVER MET BEFORE whose name he doesn't even know and whom he'll never see again in this life, that man, by nature, deals with that woman the same exact way he deals with a long time friend who is a guy.

As long as he's dealing with men, A guy will only allow a close friend he has known for years to spend the night in his house. Yet a girl he met barely 10 mins ago he'll also allow her to spend a night at his house.

Even if she's a stranger, a woman is never a stranger to a man.

While Maxwell needs to be friends with Isaac to get favours from Isaac, Sandra here doesn't have to be someone Isaac knows to get the same favours. Isaac doesn't even have to know Sandra's name or where she's from. The fact that Sandra is a woman means that even if she's a stranger to Isaac, she automatically gets the same benefits from Isaac that Isaac reserves for guys he's been friends with for years. Sandra whom Isaac just met barely 5 mins ago will get the same level of favours that Maxwell has earned over many years of loyal friendship with Isaac.

Even if she's a stranger, a woman is never a stranger to a man.

A WOMAN WITH MANY MALE FRIENDS DOESN'T NEED A BOYFRIEND.
The best strategy for a woman to properly benefit from a guy, without giving the guy any sex whatsoever, is actually to ask to be his Friend.
To never make him her Boyfriend.

Men are raised to treat all women nice. That is what it is to be a gentleman. So even if a man is not in a relationship with a particular woman, he'll still treat her well. Now if a girl has many men regularly treating her well, that good treatment will add up to the treatment he could get from an official Boyfriend.

Which is to say, If a girl gets about, say 8 guys who give her platonic friendship benefits, if she combines all that help it will equal the help a romantic boyfriend will give her. Because what a woman needs from a lover are the same things she needs from a platonic friend. ---------> RESOURCES.

If a girl has enough guy friends he won't need a boyfriend. The more guys a girl has in her friendzone the less she needs to make any of them her boyfriend.

This is the reason why friendship with women is highly discouraged in Red Pill philosophy because it's like the woman is dating you but you're not dating the woman because she's receiving GF benefits from you but not performing GF duties on you.

Even if you're just helping a girl with a lift to work, that may seem insignificant to you, but if at the same time, another guy is helping her out with lunch money (something also insignificant to him), and another guy, living next door her, watches over her (something also insignificant to him), while three other guys help her out with her rent (something also insignificant to them), and the guy at the local store gives her free groceries (something also insignificant to him), at the end, combining all the help from all these men, A WOMAN WILL NOT NEED TO HAVE A BOYFRIEND. She'll simply get a vibrator and live her life.

The Milk has been given to her free so she doesn't have to buy the cow.

A girl won't enter a relationship for what she's getting without a relationship. She's not dumb.

You and those other helpful men, by being gentlemen, have disqualified yourselves from being made a boyfriend.

A girl gains far more from 10 guys in her friendzone than she gains from 1 romantic boyfriend.

That's why friendship with men is so important for women. And that's why men must not be friends with women. Because to be a woman's friend is to be her boyfriend but without her being your girlfriend.

If every man everywhere became as selfish and as stingy with his time, money and favours the way every woman everywhere is selfish and stingy with her pussy, kisses and ass, society would reorder itself in record time. And especially women, having been left to navigate a dangerous world without the male protection and provisions that they take for granted, will be kinder, gentler and more respectful to men. Most importantly every woman will seek her own man to get protected and provided by and there won't be so many single lonely men.

But instead the opposite is happening...

Guys are going above and beyond the call of duty for girls they don't even know. Doing women favour after favour, paying bill after bill, satisfying need after need, of women. For what? To be thanked and made to feel like a "real man"! For validation. SMH.

As a result women are seeing no need to date. They're just hooking up with the few pretty boys for sex and that's it. The rest of what they need they can get without having to date.

If The Milk Is Free, the cow won't be bought. Women are not stupid.

THE FEMALE SOURCE CODE.
In the writeup The Female Source Code, we talked about how attention means so much to women that if a woman gets a lot of it from many men, it will cancel out her need for a man. And maybe some readers thought that was too farfetched a concept. Check out the first picture below and see a girl choose the attention of her Instagram followers over her relationship with her Boyfriend.
Here's the original tweet: https://mobile.twitter.com/theebryonnaab/status/1327690562108084224

Maybe guys will have something of an idea of what makes women tick at the most basic level.

If they ban all those clubs mentioned banks, corporate sponsors will abandon the game of soccer in droves.

FIFA/UEFA watched as clubs evolved from amateur weekend only entities to become self supporting, professional establishments in the 30's 40's and 50's.

FIFA/UEFA watched as clubs exchanged their supoorters ownership structures for corporate identities in the 70"s, 80's and 90's.

FIFA/UEFA watched as billionaire moneybags from the west, oligarchs from the east and oil sheikhs from the middle grabbed elite soccer by the jugular stating two decades ago.

FIFA/UEFA have stood idly by watching the pussycat turn into a 300 pound ferocious feline. What exactly did they expect. What did they think would happen when they sold their birthright in handing Qatar, Qatar OF ALL COUNTRIES the hosting right to the 2022 World Cup.

They shamelessly made a stand for money and now it is tearing all world soccer apart. Everyone wants to leverage on his strength and grab as much as possible. Covid has shown that Papa FIFA cares for himself only. The kids want to fend for themselves.

aptly written, only emotional fans will get rilled up in this power play. The truth is that everyone is out there to fight for his own interest.

Not all igbos see ojukwu as a hero. I have two igbo friends these guys don't want to hear that name.

Although I have read this content in one of his book...Awolowo did anything wrong to ibo .

exactly Awolowo did no wrong, he was just trying to act in the best possible way he knew he could.
Though ojukwu's grouse against him was not joining forces with the Biafran army to divide the country.

a lot of blessings to him wherever he is.
The story just proves that people love believeing in lies and sensational things.
A lot of lies concerning the Civil War that need to be disproved.

CIVIL WAR

[b]
Question: Chief Awolowo, …Your stand on the civil war, however unpopular it might have been to the Biafrans or Ibo people, helped to shorten the war. Today, you’re being castigated as the sole enemy of the Ibo people because of that stand, by among others, some of the people who as members of the Federal Military Government at that time, were party to that decision and are today, in some cases, inheritors of power in one Nigeria which that decision of yours helped to save. How do you feel being painted in this role, and what steps are you taking to endear yourself once again to that large chunk of Nigerians who feel embittered?

Awolowo: As far as I know, the Ibo masses are friendly to me, towards me. In fact, whenever I visit Iboland, either Anambra or Imo, and there’s no campaigning for elections on, the Ibo people receive me warmly and affectionately. But there are some elements in Iboland who believe that they can maintain their popularity only by denigrating me, and so they keep on telling lies against me. Ojukwu is one of them. I don’t want to mention the names of the others because they are still redeemable, but ….Ojukwu is irredeemable, so I mention his name, and my attitude to these lies is one of indifference, I must confess to you.
I’ve learnt to rely completely on the providence and vindication of Almighty God in some of these things. I’ve tried to explain myself in the past, but these liars persist. Ojukwu had only recently told the same lie against me. What’s the point in correcting lies when people are determined to persist in telling lies against you, what’s the point?. I know that someday the Ibos, the masses of the Ibo people will realize who their friends are, and who their real enemies are. And the day that happens woe betide those enemies. The Ibos will deal with them very roughly, very roughly.
That has happened in my life. I have a nickname now, if you see my letterhead you’ll find something on top, you’ll find a fish done on the letterhead. Some people put Lion on theirs, some people put Tiger, but mine is Fish. And Fish represents my zodiac sign, those of you who read the stars and so on in the newspapers; you’ll find out that there’s a zodiac sign known as Pisces, in Latin Pisces means Fish.

So I put Pisces on top, that’s my zodiac sign being born on the 6th of March,….er well, the year doesn’t matter, it’s the day that matters. And then on top of it I wrote Eebudola. All of you know the meaning of that. You know I don’t want to tell a long story but………………Awolowo school, omo Awolowo, the school…… started in Urhoboland, in the Mid-west in those days. They were ridiculing my schools, I was building schools – brick and cement, to dpc level, block to dpc level and mud thereafter. And so the big shots in the place..”ah what kind of school is this? is this Awolowo school? Useless school” and when they saw the children..”ah these Awolowo children, they can’t read and write, Awolowo children” that’s how it started, with ridicule, and it became a blessing, and now they say “Awolowo children, they are good people” no more ridicule about it, that’s how it started, so the 'Eebu' has become honor, the abuse became honor.

And so when I look back to all my life, treasonable felony, jail, all the abuses that were heaped on me, to Coker Inquiry, all sorts, and I see what has happened to the people who led, who led all these denigration campaign, where are they today? Those that are alive are what I call 'Homo Mortuus' - dead living, 'oku eniyan', that’s what they are, those that their lives have gone.

So when I look back, I come to the conclusion that all these abuses which have been heaped on me all my life for doing nothing, for doing good, they have become honor, and so 'Eebudola' is one of my nicknames. So I’ve cultivated an attitude of indifference, I’ve done no evil to the Ibos.

During the war I saw to it that the revenue which was due to Iboland - South Eastern states they call it, at that time..East Central State, I kept it, I saved the money for them. And when they ….were librated I handed over the money to them - millions of pounds. If I’d decided to do so, I could have kept the money away from them and then when they took over I saw to it that subvention was given to them at the rate of 990,000 pounds every month. I didn’t go to the Executive Council to ask for support, or for approval because I knew if I went to the Executive Council at that time, the subvention would not be approved because there were more enemies in the Executive Council for the Ibos than friends. And since I wasn’t going to take a percentage from what I was going to give them, and I knew I was doing what was right, I wanted the state to survive, I kept on giving the subvention – 990,000 pounds almost a million, every month, and I did that for other states of course - South Eastern State, North Central State, Kwara and so on.

But I did that for the Ibos, and when the war was over, I saw to it that the ACB got three and a half million pounds (£3,500,000.00) to start with. This was distributed immediately and I gave another sum of money. The attitude of the experts, officials at the time of the ACB was that ACB should be closed down, and I held the view: you couldn’t close the ACB down because that is the bank that gives finance to Ibo traders, and if you close it down they’ll find it difficult to survive. So it was given. I did the same thing for the Cooperative Bank of Eastern Nigeria, to rehabilitate all these places, and I saw to it as Federal Commissioner for Finance that no obstacle was placed in the way of the Ministry of Economic Planning in planning for rehabilitation of the war affected areas.

TWENTY POUNDS POLICY
That’s what I did, and the case of the money they said was not given back to them, you know during the war all the pounds were looted, they printed Biafran currency notes, which they circulated, at the close of the war some people wanted their Biafran notes to be exchanged for them. Of course I couldn’t do that, if I did that the whole country would be bankrupt. We didn’t know about Biafran notes and we didn’t know on what basis they have printed them, so we refused the Biafran note, but I laid down the principle that all those who had savings in the banks on the eve of the declaration of the Biafran war or Biafra, will get their money back if they could satisfy us that they had the savings there, or the money there. Unfortunately, all the banks’ books had been burnt, and many of the people who had savings there didn’t have their savings books or their last statement of account, so a panel had to be set up.
I didn’t take part in setting up the panel, it was done by the Central Bank and the pertinent officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance, to look into the matter, and they went carefully into the matter, they took some months to do so, and then made some recommendation which I approved. Go to the archives, all I did was approved, I didn’t write anything more than that, I don’t even remember the name of any of them who took part. So I did everything in this world to assist our Ibo brothers and sisters during and after the war.
And anyone who goes back to look at my broadcast in August 1967, which dealt with post-war reconstruction would see what I said there.

STARVATION POLICY
Then, but above all, the ending of the war itself that I’m accused of, accused of starving the Ibos, I did nothing of the sort. You know, shortly after the liberation of these places, Calabar, Enugu and Port Harcort, I decided to pay a visit. There are certain things which I knew which you don’t know, which I don’t want to say here now, when I write my reminisces in the future I will do so. Some of the soldiers were not truthful with us, they didn’t tell us correct stories and so on.
I wanted to be there and see things for myself, bear in mind that Gowon himself did not go there at that time, it was after the war was over that he dorn himself up in various military dresses - Air force dress, Army dress and so on, and went to the war torn areas. But I went and some people tried to frighten me out of my goal by saying that Adekunle was my enemy and he was going to see to it that I never returned from the place. But I went.

But when I went what did I see? I saw the kwashiorkor victims. If you see a kwashiorkor victim you’ll never like war to be waged. Terrible sight, in Enugu, in Port Harcourt, not many in Calabar, but mainly in Enugu and Port Harcourt. Then I enquired what happened to the food we were sending to the civilians. We were sending food through the Red cross, and CARITAS to them, but what happened was that the vehicles carrying the food were always ambushed by the soldiers. That’s what I discovered, and the food would then be taken to the soldiers to feed them, and so they were able to continue to fight. And I said that was a very dangerous policy, we didn’t intend the food for soldiers. But who will go behind the line to stop the soldiers from ambushing the vehicles that were carrying the food? And as long as soldiers were fed, the war will continue, and who’ll continue to suffer? and those who didn’t go to the place to see things as I did, you remember that all the big guns, all the soldiers in the Biafran army looked all well fed after the war, its only the mass of the people that suffered kwashiorkor.

You won't hear of a single lawyer, a single doctor, a single architect, who suffered from kwashiorkor? None of their children either, so they waylaid the foods, they ambushed the vehicles and took the foods to their friends and to their collaborators and to their children and the masses were suffering. So I decided to stop sending the food there. In the process, the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers will suffer most.

CHANGE OF CURRENCY
And it is on record that Ojukwu admitted that two things defeated him in this war, that’s as at the day he left Biafra. He said one, the change of currency, he said that was the first thing that defeated him, and we did that to prevent Ojukwu taking the money which his soldiers had stolen from our Central Bank for sale abroad to buy arms. We discovered he looted our Central Bank in Benin, he looted the one in Port Harcourt, looted the one in Calabar and he was taking the currency notes abroad to sell to earn foreign exchange to buy arms.

So I decided to change the currency, and for your benefit, it can now be told the whole world, only Gowon knew the day before, the day before the change took place. I decided, only three of us knew before then- Isong now Governor of Cross River, Attah and myself. It was a closely guarded secret, if any Commissioner at the time says that he knew about it, he’s only boosting his own ego. Because once you tell someone, he’ll tell another person. So we refused to tell them and we changed the currency notes. So Ojukwu said the change in currency defeated him, and starvation of his soldiers also defeated him.

These were the two things that defeated Ojukwu. And, he reminds me, when you saw Ojukwu’s picture after the war, did he look like someone who wasn't well fed? But he had been taking the food which we sent to civilians, and so we stopped the food.

ABANDONED PROPERTY
And then finally, I saw to it that the houses owned by the Ibos in Lagos and on this side, were kept for them. I had an estate agent friend who told me that one of them collected half a million pounds rent which has been kept for him. All his rent were collected, but since we didn’t seize their houses, he came back and collected half a million pounds.

So that is the position. I’m a friend of the Ibos and the mass of the Ibos are my friends, but there are certain elements who want to continue to deceive the Ibos by telling lies against me, and one day, they’ll discover and then that day will be terrible for those who have been telling the lies.

Yeah Sweden in general is a low key country. It has to do with its location, also Sweden is a matriarch society. I read an answer about Sweden on Quora.

can you direct me to the post on quora please

TrueNigerian300:


Oga, people make up the federal government stop shouting like the federal government can do an undo as they wish particularly in a very divisive country like Nigeria. Now, let me let you know somethings because of the antecedents of various group in the past who claimed to fight for Igbo freedom but they were only fighting for their pocket, many Igbo didn't take Kanu serious at first and for preaching hatred in the beginning many Nigerians also didn't take him serious. Now, he has more support from many Igbo and even non-Igbo which has changed the game, the only thing the federal government is still enjoying is the fact that the foolish igbo politicians are still selling their people for political purpose. Now El Zakasy is a northern affair you have to remember that and you dont expect other region to fight for him.

People see things from tribal and religious angle in Nigeria, Buhari will not do what he did to El Zakasy to any yoruba man who has the support of his people. So there are no yoruba soldiers or you think they will be foolish to kill their people.

Forget the noise about federal government they will must trend careful to avoid war. As your reprisal is happening in the north to yorubas, hausas wont be safe in west as well. The northern political elites who benefit the most from Nigeria know this and that would be game over for them should Nigeria disintegrate. You guys make it sounds like federal government can just do anything they like. Smh.

this reply should keep that guy silent for now, except he just want to make a fool out of himself as usual.

dannybrasky:

Shouldn't be a problem. I will mention you months before,so we can plan ahead.
I dont know how OP couldn't get a flight,I travelled with air Guinea as at 2006 and they only fly on Wednesday to Gambia,a stop over at serialeon,Guinea and then Banjul.

alright bro

dannybrasky:


I was in Gambia 2006,fairly small country,not up to Lagos population as at then.
Base their income mainly on tourism back then.
Yes there is serious discrimination towards Nigerians,sadly it hasn't changed till now. I think it boils down to seeing us as a competition or let me say go getters,seems their men can be very very lazy. All you see them engage in is smoking their greens and drinking their teas.

I was almost torn apart for trying to woo a white lady,reason? They see these white women as their tickets to heaven.

I did enjoy my stay,I was in bakau in Banjul ,stayed at the friendship hotel close to the stadium. Toured serekunda, Went to one of their clubs i can't remember the name,I had to take off my jersey before entering the club because they had this rule you can't get into the club if your cloth is spotting a huge number lol.


Very quiet and peaceful place to be, but my turn off was getting extra dark from their weather lol.
I got back to Nigeria looking like burnt offering

Will be visiting again,just to see how well the place has developed. Like the kairaba beach hotel,the Hilton at the beach and so on.

big ups to you bro..
Can we both plan a trip anytime you're ready to visit, cause I'll definitely like to have some sort of guide when going.

Your best bet would be idumota market... That's where you'll get a better bargain for wholesales products

I will like to connect with anyone going to any northern state next week. So I can take advantage of his/her ride at a more efficient fee.

Hello all,

Finally went for capturing today at ikoyi office.
I got there around 10:30am, Immediately I was approached by these two minutes passport guys, I asked them if there would be need for any since capturing will he done and dey ended up convincing me on how I need at least 4 copies of white background passport, He collected 800 after much bargain for 8 copies, after which he started stories of how he know an officer with one eagle and one star that can help me and I will get it in two days. I told him I have already made payment but he still went on to tell me how online application will delay and the need for me to fastrack with his one eagle one star officer. I gave him a stern look and he just jejely left me alone.

I got to the gate and when I was asked what I came for, I told them I'm going to servicom office. Immediately he heard servicom he let me in with proper direction on how to get there.
At the front dest of servicom office I met the gentle looking vibrant officer adamu, immediately i saw his tag his name rang a bell, he aske what I came for and I explained to him, he asked for my documents, arranged them for me in a brown file signed and stapled what needs to be stapled and directed me on how to go about it.

Immediately I enter the long room, I noticed everyone else had white files while I was the only one with brown file and without intoducing myself all the officers started calling me servicom. I was shock when even senior immigration officers started using sir for me, then I realized I was holding a starboy file.
The whole process took less than 40mins including capturing and I was told to come back in two weeks for the passport.

DIY is the way
