charzyn: Attention gentlemen. Please i want to tell anyone that are condenming biafra agitation to go and hug naked transfomer. I am not an igbo , i am from ijaw but i must to tell you hausa and yorubas that we have learnt from our mistakes by diffrentiating ourself from igbos due to the sudden lies to us south south from the evil nigeria that the igbos wants to control our resources. May i ask question please, after we follow the nigeria side to fight the civil war against biafra that you claimed to control our resources have wr from south south have any right to our resources since the war ended from 1970 till now neither it was the greedy yorubas and hausa fulanis are the most wicked and our greatest enemies whom stood on top of our resources and developed thier regions while messed up our region and kept it in darkness with no employment, no food, no light, no road , no government offices. Now tell me who is our enemy ? Igbos are very right to fight for thier sovereinty and we south south must go when igbos are actualize thier struggles because we cannot stay with this useless and greedy yorubas and hausas. Mind you that we in the south south and the igbos has the same cultures and share things income than yorubas and hausa. Go and read todays punch news paper to see the warning from the cross river state government to the nigeria government threatning that another civil war is looming and if it occures i bet you all that south south will support the igbos to fight to finish because we have known whom is our enemies. Thank god that all the states in igboland are oil producing state and all the state in south south are all oil producing states of which we have all equal and equity to fight to finish . Do you think that selling bakassi to cameroun will just swept under the carpets. Very soon the trumpet will sound so that everyone will answer his fathers name rather than sucking from our resources to develope thier region. Achebes revealing secret is not a new thing to me because my parents has already told us the truth blwhom is our greatest enemy before achebe unveiling the secret.

my brother dont mind them , these yorubas are very bitter people but of course they will enjoy their nigeria with their hausa fulanis slave masters when we eventually leave this cursed country. my father always say that the biggest mistake ijaws mad was to withdraw support for biafra.that single mistake caused biafra to loose . we would have been better off by now but thank God our second chance to correct that is coming. after the next split up i wonder which ethnic group will be dumb enough to remain with these bitter yorubas and backward hausa/fulanis.

and how is it your buisness, the same lagos gets federal allocation from akwa ibom oil . who are you to decide who lives where in nigeria?.

Awake9ja: omo cyberG,
do you see why we all blv dat only yorubas hate ibos gravely in nigeria. can u read wat u just write above and told me if its not wicked and evil. no group can speak such if not yoruba. your opinion above is held by many yorubas both elites and common.

wit such minds set many yorubas i meet has spoken ill of the ibos, but y i dont know. they cant even make a point of that hatred.

we all may not like ibos but i bet you its clearly to me that there is no reason for that hatread. in my home state we dislike yorubas and ibos but we hate hausa fulanis.

on the case of yorubas its bcus of their tribalism mentality and occupation of most of federal government companies etc in my state. ie: ones a yoruba is made GM of phcn in our state wat you will see after 3months is massive employments of yorubas. we hate that we have graduates too.

on d side of ibos no body has ever givin me reason,i wil be glad to hav one. i accept disliking ibos till now.

on the side of hausa fula they are animals and having them among u is backward to your state and future disaster.
unlike the ibos who pay for everything they obtain but not so to yorubas hausas and fulanis.

the thing tire me ooo , same here i dislike both yorubas and igbos but yorubas are really sick in the head , they only have bad intentions for everyone. the saddest part is that these yorubas depend on food stamp from niger delta oil yet they run their mouth the most. what that cybej wrote should be taken seriously as it is what is in the mind of most yorubas, yorubas have a wicked heart. as for igbos i think they are more confused , its like the more they are disliked the more they invest outside their homeland.

BIAFRA DRAGS NIGERIA TO COURT!

On behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Bilie Human Rights Initiative has filed the case, Suit No. FHC/OW/CS/102/2012 in the Federal High Court of Nigeria in the Owerri Judicial Division against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney-General of the Federation seeking to enforce the rights of indigenous

people of Biafra to self-determination and independence.

World Press Release:

Gentlemen of the Press, we are here today to let the world know what is happening in Nigeria. The safety of the lives and properties of indigenous people of Biafra living in Nigeria are no longer guaranteed. The Biafrans were forced to surrender their sovereignty and become Nigerian citizens on the promise that their lives and properties would be protected by the Government of Nigeria. Now, it has become clear that the Government of Nigeria is impotent and incompetent to protect the indigenous people of Biafra who were not consumed by the war. In fact, the Nigeria Police and Army Officers have continued to harass, intimidate, arrest, detain and kill Biafran human rights activists who are agitating for the self-determination and independence of Biafra by peaceful means but spare the militant activists from other nationalities agitating for similar outcome. There is clear and demonstrable policy of discrimination, marginalization, oppression and racism against the remnants of the indigenous people of Biafra living in Nigeria which has caused some of them to deny their identity in order to receive favours from the Federal Government of Nigeria. The situation has compelled Bilie Human Rights Initiative to file multiple suits against the Federal Government of Nigeria and its agents on behalf of the indigenous people of Biafra to protect their human and peoples’ rights. At the moment, the two suits Bilie Human Rights Initiative has filed are as follows:

(a) Case number 1 is for the Self-determination and Independence of Biafra

(b) Case number 2 is an order seeking restraint on the part of the Federal Government of Nigeria and her agents from the continued intimidation, harassment and threat to life of the publishers and distributors of Eastern Pilot Newspaper and violation of the publication’s freedom of expression as guaranteed under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Case for Self-determination and Independence of Biafra:

On behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Bilie Human Rights Initiative has filed the case, Suit No. FHC/OW/CS/102/2012 in the Federal High Court of Nigeria in the Owerri Judicial Division against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney-General of the Federation seeking to enforce the rights of indigenous people of Biafra to self-determination and independence. The said suit brought by way of originating summons requires the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney-General of the Federation to appear in court to answer fundamental questions impinging on the rights of Indigenous People of Biafra which to date has remained unanswered and untested in any competent court of law.

LET the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney-General of the Federation within thirty days after service of this summons on them, inclusive of the day of such service, cause an appearance to be entered for them to this summons which is issued upon the application of BILIE HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVE representing INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA who are indigenes of the South East geopolitical zone of Nigeria, parts of the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria and parts of the Middle Belt zone of Nigeria seeking to enforce their right to self-determination pursuant to Articles 19 - 25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990, and to redress all wrongs occasioned on them by the Defendants in consequence whereof the Claimants pray for the determination of the following questions:

1. Whether the Indigenous People of Biafra who are the remnants that were not consumed in the Nigerian-Biafran war of 1967 – 1970 have the right of self-determination pursuant to Articles 19 – 25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap 10, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990.

2. Whether the Claimants who identify themselves as Biafrans by indigenous identity are committing any offence by doing so contrary to any provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 or contrary to any provisions of the Criminal Code and whether it is a crime under any national or international law to mention the name of BIAFRA or for the remnants of the Indigenous People of Biafra who were not consumed by the war to maintain their indigenous identity as Biafrans with their native emblems and symbols as they do now even though they are Nigerians by citizenship and nationality laws; and if the answer is in the negative, whether the Defendants are justified to arrest, detain, shoot and or kill the children of the Claimants for identifying themselves as Biafrans by indigenous identity contrary to the rights of indigenous peoples as guaranteed by Articles 19 – 25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap 10, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990.

3. Whether by the interpretation of Section 2 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 it is a crime for the Claimants and or the people of other ethnic nationalities held together in Nigeria against their will to exercise their right to self-determination by seeking for independence under the law as guaranteed by Articles 19 – 25 Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and the United Nations Resolution 61/295 of 2007 known as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

4. Whether it is lawful under the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 for the Defendants to hold the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria together by force against their will who now constitute the six geopolitical regions namely: South East, South South, South West, North Central, North East and North West, in a forced marriage akin to slavery contrary to their human and peoples’ rights of self-determination as there is no provision in the Nigerian law or international law that makes it a crime for a people to seek for freedom by the rule of law.

5. Whether the amalgamation of the peoples of the south and north by the British Government to form one country called Nigeria was with the consent and agreement of the indigenous peoples of the lands; and if the answer is in the negative, whether the Order-in-Council 1910 – 1913 made by the British Government to create Nigeria in 1914 was null and void ab initio for lacking legitimacy as it could not form the basis of the Nigerian Constitution thereby rendering the amalgamation invalid.

6. Whether by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1963 which took effect on 1st October 1963 and remained in force until the midnight of 30th September 1979 the Defendants were right to seize and confiscate the assets, properties, money, and all treasures belonging to the Claimants by promulgating the Abandoned Properties Act of 28th September 1979 while the 1963 Constitution was in force, being more than nine years after the war and after the declaration of “One Nigeria” while regarding the Claimants as Nigerian citizens but depriving them of their properties, money and assets; and if the answer is in the negative, whether the Defendants are still justified to withhold the said money, properties and assets belonging to the Claimants.

7. Whether the Defendants were justified to violate the International Humanitarian Law and the Laws of War known as the Geneva Convention 1949 (to which the Defendants acceded and ratified on 20th June 1961) by bombing the Biafran civilians, killing the Biafran civilians and using starvation to kill the children, women and the elderly of the civilian population of the indigenous people of Biafra in the war of 1967 – 1970 in order to win the war.

8. Whether the Defendants by registering Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) in 1986 and licensing an Islamic Sharia Bank in Nigeria under the 1999 Constitution contrary to Section 10 of the Constitution of Nigeria have violated the Constitution and turned Nigeria into an Islamic country; and if the answer is in the affirmative, whether the Claimants have the right to dissociate themselves from the Defendants and refuse to answer the citizens of an Islamic country in the exercise of their right to freedom of worship, freedom of association and self-determination as a people.

AND LET THE DEFENDANTS TAKE NOTICE that the Claimants who are called Biafrans by indigenous identity and Nigerians by nationality have commenced the legal processes leading to their referendum for self-determination and shall at the hearing of this summons pray the Honourable Court for:

(a) An Order declaring that the Claimants have the right to self-determination pursuant to Articles 19 – 25, Cap 10, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990, and are therefore free to exercise their right to self-determination for independence or any other political status of their choice.

(b) An Order declaring that the ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria are not held as slaves under Section 2(1) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and therefore have the right of self-determination to decide their political status by the rule of law.

(c) An Order declaring that the Defendants are liable to pay to the Claimants by way of compensation or reparation the present value of all the money, properties and assets of the Claimants seized by the Defendants as a result of the Nigerian-Biafran war of 1967 – 1970 since the properties were not seized in wartime but nine years after the war based on the post-war discriminatory policies and laws made by the Defendants to suppress the Claimants from generation to generation.

(d) An Order directing the Defendants to comply with the provisions of Article 20 (3) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and consequently give all assistance to the Claimants in the exercise of their right to self-determination for a peaceful conduct of their referendum for independence or for any other political status of their choice.

(e) An Order granting judicial protection to the Claimants, their homes, their offices and their correspondences individually and collectively as they exercise their right to self-determination and an Injunction restraining the Defendants, their agents and privies, from interfering, arresting, molesting, intimidating, disturbing, hindering or harassing the Claimants or doing any act or omitting to do any act aimed at frustrating the Claimants’ exercise of their right to self-determination which they have commenced with a referendum.

(f) An Order compelling the Defendants to release from its prisons and detention centres all indigenous people of Biafra who are agitating as pro-Biafra Movements for Independence of Biafra by peaceful means and to drop all charges of treason or treasonable felonies made against them and to release all their properties seized by the Defendants.

(g) An Order affirming the Memorandum of Ohanaeze Ndigbo dated 28th June 2012 submitted to the National Assembly for the restructuring of Nigeria into six autonomous self-governing regions, namely: South East, South West, South South, North East, North West and North Central, as a manifestation of the Will of the People in the exercise of their right to self-determination and directing the Defendants to present an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for a law granting autonomy and self-governing status to the six geopolitical regions in Nigeria; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, in the role of the Judiciary as the last hope of the common man, an Order directing the Defendants to present an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for a law dissolving Nigeria in peace along the compatible ethnic groups instead of allowing the country to break up in bloodshed.

(h) An Order declaring that the Defendants by registering Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) have turned Nigeria into an Islamic country contrary to Section 10 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and therefore the Claimants being Christians have the right to dissociate themselves from the Defendants and refuse to be called the citizens of an Islamic country.

The facts of the case and exhibits relied on are contained in a 44-Paragraph Affidavit filed with the suit. Bilie Human Rights Initiative is by this legal action accelerating efforts to bring legal clarity to the issue of arbitrary arrests of indigenous people of Biafra. We believe that what Biafra lost after the war was its sovereignty and not its people since we were not annihilated by Nigeria as Rome annihilated Carthage.

About 99% of the population of the indigenous people of Biafra are Christians holding tenaciously to their Christian faith, believing in freedom of worship, freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of conscience, freedom of thought and freedom of expression, and separating the State from Religion. We believe in democracy as the only system of government that guarantees our fundamental human rights. Unfortunately, the Moslems from the North who were merged with us in the country called Nigeria do not believe in democracy and do not separate their Religion from the State. They do not believe in freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, freedom of thought and freedom of expression. In a conflict between the law of the State and the law of Islam, the Moslems insist that the law of Islam must prevail while we insist that the law of the State must prevail. They regard democracy as a false religion as shown by the fliers and posters they are spreading in Britain, America, Nigeria and other countries of the world where democracy is practised. This shows fundamental irreconcilable differences in the ideologies of the two peoples. All the efforts of their ethnic militia called Boko Haram are aimed at Islamizing the whole country and forcing us to become Moslems! The Biafrans saw this Islamic virus ahead of time and sought to free themselves in 1967-1970 but the odds were too much against them since Great Britain and other developed countries of the west could not see what the Biafrans saw. In the Ahiara Declaration, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu revealed that the Biafran Struggle was not only a political or military struggle but also a struggle for religious freedom. In his words, “The Biafran struggle is, on another plane, a resistance to the Arab-Muslim expansionism which has menaced and ravaged the African continent for twelve centuries.

Our Biafran ancestors remained immune from the Islamic contagion. From the middle years of the last century Christianity was established in our land. In this way we came to be a predominantly Christian people. We came to stand out as a non-Muslim island in a raging Islamic sea. Throughout the period of the ill-fated Nigerian experiment, the Muslims hoped to infiltrate Biafra by peaceful means and quiet propaganda, but failed. Therefore, to militant Islam, Biafra is a stumbling block to their plan for controlling the whole continent.

Nigeria obtained only a military victory over Biafra but not spiritual conquest. Nigerians and their Governments treat us like a defeated people though mouthing “No Victor No Vanquished” in hypocrisy. Any person who identifies himself as an Ibo or Biafran receives persecution, hatred and rejection from Nigerians. Fair-minded Nigerians have acknowledged that the Government of Nigeria is designed to marginalize and persecute us. Alhaji Salisu Lamido Salisu, in his Conference Lecture at Arewa House in 1999, said concerning us as follows: “They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity. The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman’s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate… Now, with this government, the marginalization of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb”.

Yes, indeed, Nigeria is sitting on a time-bomb. Fair-minded northerners and westerners have acknowledged that the Government of Nigeria has been quite unfair to us. The maltreatments and persecutions have caused some of our people to deny their native identity in order to survive in Nigeria. Some of our people in the South-South region have changed their names to sound foreign in order to escape the persecution while some towns and villages have been forcefully assimilated into neighbouring tribes. Our spirits are still alive despite all the persecutions we suffer in Nigeria. This is why we are insisting on regaining our freedom because we still believe in our indigenous identity as Biafrans.

We want the Court to determine whether it is an offence for the remnants of the ancestors of Biafraland who were not consumed by the war to maintain their indigenous identity as a people and exercise their right to self-determination. We want the Court to determine whether it is an offence to mention the name of BIAFRA and believe in Biafra and preach Biafranism as a gospel of national liberation. We are fast-tracking legal efforts to compel the Nigerian Government to stop arresting anybody answering to or wearing Biafran emblem, insignia or any material that reflects their belief in Biafra. We believe that this a test case for the development of human rights law, not only for the benefit of the Nigerian legal system but also for the benefit of other countries of the world who are bound by the United Nations Charter on Human Rights.

Concerning our people who have denied their ancestral identity as Biafrans and Ibos in order to survive in Nigeria, we do not hold the denial against them as we see it as a self-preservation technique which is often caused by fear and lack of boldness. We remember the biblical example of the Apostle Peter who denied his Lord and Master Jesus Christ when his life was in danger. But as Peter repented and wept for denying his identity as a disciple of Christ, we advise our brethren who have denied their Igbo and Biafran identity to repent and return to their ancestral roots because our deliverance has come.

Gentlemen of the Press, we cannot comment on the merits of the case now since it is before the court but we enjoin you to follow the proceedings and give it a wide publicity in the interest of the public for the advancement of human rights law. The Court has fixed the case for 30th October 2012 when the parties will appear in Court for the first time.

Thank you, Gentlemen of the Press, for your patience and rapt attention to this briefing.

this looks like waste of time, if biafra wants to drag nigeria to court they should take it to ICJ.

CyberG: I think the judges should do justice to this case, so let us see. In my opinion though, let the ibos secede but their will be conditions which will NOT be negotiable:

1. Every ibo man will NOT have access or be allowed to live anywhere else that is current Nigeria, except iboland: Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi. They shall have ONLY 3 months to relocate to iboland. Every ibo who is not will be in contravention of secession agreement, will be liable for grave penalty, treason, become a legitimate target which includes capital punishment with all other options on the table.

2. They will be responsible for their local debts to banks, etc in their new country

3. If Nigeria is NOT good enough now, it WILL NOT be good enough for them later on ANYTHING, so no access to Nigeria's ports, airspace, oil reserves not on iboland, coast, currency, etc.

4. There will be NO economic cooperation with it and ANY parts of Nigeria.

5. Their military will be limited to 50,000 or a number as deemed fit by agreement at secession. Like Iran and other states, they shall not be allowed to make or buy heavy weapons, nuclear technology, etc.

6. There shall be an international body (including representatives from Nigeria) to monitor their compliance to 5 above.

7. Any break to the agreement will be met with BLUNT, BRUTAL FORCE that is not aimed at correction as Nigeria will not waste any efforts or resources bogged down in a stupid war over a land less than the size of Benue State. Also, Nigeria shall maintain permanent military bases, missile shields, and forward operating bases in Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Edo, Benue and Kogi States. Nigeria will also assemble new military divisions to be stationed off the Atlantic coasts with a fleet of aircraft carriers, battleships. Dive bombers and heavy bombers shall be stationed in all states mentioned above. Drones shall be allowed to roam biafran skies and fly at not less than 18,000 ft.

8. The agreement shall remain in perpetuity and immutable for NOT less than 100,000 years!

you must be slow to think any part of south south will remain with yorubas and hausas if igbos leave. everybody will answer his fathers name when that time comes but of course yorubas have the option of remaining slaves to the hausa/fulanis afterall tinubu have already sold your generation to them. see what living on oil welfare is causing.

Onlytruth: So Kogi does not share boundary with Anambra?
The extent people can lie just to make a point of fighting a lost cause.

i tire for the statement oo , i wonder what they teach in school these days, anyway emeka anyaoku should clean up his mess and i hope him and other anambra men learn from this. invest in your home states before venturing elsewhere. i dont see myself investing anywhere outside my home state if my home state have not arrived.

Kehinde and Tunde allegedly asked Tunmise to direct them to a street they claimed they did not know. As she was talking, the suspects stole her money and phone and compelled her to follow them quietly or else they would kill her.
Tumise was later seized and taken to their hideout along the railway line but while they were attempting to Molestation her, she managed to escape.

why didnt she call out for help or where they alone on the streets

all federal roads are bad

acidosis™:
ah! hausa men again why do they keep killing their children like ram

am not hausa but cases of child rape always comes out of yorubaland , its disturbing.

musiwa7: with this

you leave people no other option

https://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9978/89417074.png

u dey vex oo , i thought theres another international airport in delta so thats 2 airports in the west

yoruba men again why do they keep raping young children

bashr8: The study conducted in Oyo and Osun states in liasion with a non-governmental organisation showed that 80 per cent of girls, before attaining age 18, experience intimate violence and abuse while 31 per cent of girls experience intimate violence and abuse before age 13 in yorubaland by yoruba men

disturbing and till today nothing is being done about it .

just terrible.

A few hours after President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari took a swipe at former leaders, ex-Military President Ibrahim Babangida fired back.

He asked Dr. Jonathan to learn to accept criticisms and threatened to expose the “holier-than thou-attitude” of Gen. Buhari.

Gen. Babangida, who spoke through Prince Kassim Afegbua, his media adviser, reminded Gen. Buhari that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

He also advised Dr. Jonathan to look elsewhere, not him, if he is blaming past leaders that are criticising him.

Kassim said: “On President Jonathan, there is nothing wrong in criticism if it is constructive and in the interest of the country. Gen. Babangida is one unique former President who does not criticise a sitting President as a matter of courtesy.

“If President Jonathan is blaming past leaders, he should look elsewhere, certainly not IBB.

“On Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.

“He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister.

“Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund ( PTF) which records we also have.

“We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his. “records of performance during those periods.”

“Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. Gen. Buhari should be properly guided.”

It would also be recalled that Buhari's present protege, the controversial former minister of the FCT, Malam Nasir Elrufai, had in October of 2010 accused Buhari of a litany of improper acts. To quote Elrufai, he had said of Buhari that " That same prejudice accounts for the baseless claims of corruption Buhari levels against El Rufai. The fact is that Mallam El-Rufai served Nigeria with integrity and has never been convicted of any corrupt act. He is boldly contesting the false charges which the Yar’Adua government filed against him in court. It is strange that a Buhari who protests when unproven claims of N2.5 billion (about US $3billion in those days!) missing oil funds are levelled against him can gleefully elevate similar claims into facts when it concerns another. How would Buhari feel if the corruption allegations made against him by Group Captain Usman Jibrin, then a board member of PTF, are today reported as if they were proven facts? So much for “corrupt background” and “shoddy performance”.

Mallam El-Rufai wishes to remind General Buhari that he has remained perpetually unelectable because his record as military head of state, and afterwards, is a warning that many Nigerians have wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new. Against all canons of legal decency, he used retroactive laws to execute three young men for drug-peddling after they were convicted by a military tribunal and not regular courts of law. Buhari was so high handed that he gave himself and his officials immunity even from truthful reporting. That obnoxious Decree 4, against which truth was no defence, was used to jail journalists and attempt to cow the media as a whole. That tyrannical legislation shows the essence of his intolerance. These are facts of recent history".

they forgot to mention the inciting of religious extremist to kill christians as we saw in the post election violence that claimed many lives especially those of youth corpers.

dont even understand the message the writter is trying to send, apart from northern nigeria i dont know anyother part of nigeria where religious crisis happen, people marry from different denominations all accross the south , this seems like seeking for notice while unfortunatly making his own people look bad

the reason can be seen on this thread , we loose our daughters when they marry to her husbands family (even if she keeps participating in her fathers family affairs, her children wont neither will her grand children cus they have a role to play in their own fathers house)also women are just too emotional and sensitive to handle certain things.

mrperfect: Male is special just as female is,it just that it doesn't remain in their parent house as male do.

that is all , topic closed.

obadiah777: you ndigbo folks have a persecution complex. no one is persecuting you. and even if they were why is it injurious to you ? you are all black ppl. if anything i think it is more of a playful thing between igbos and yoruba. personally after having lived a huge chunk of my life abroad, any percieved persecution from my fellow black nigerians will be looked at as playful banter between fellow nigerians. thats how i view it. learn to take it as such.

maybe your blind but i will write it again, i am not igbo and if they had persecution complex they will be doing the same thing to yorubas with their websites but if you think its fun or just play to put on the front page every crime related to a particular ethnic group even if a man from that group slaps his wife while keeping others out then your head needs to be checked, if you read newspapers then you will know that apart from religious riots that happen now and then ,every nigerian group have an equal state in crime including the sharia states. if bella niaja, lindaikeji, nigerian best forum etc all start doing the same thing with yorubas will you see it as fun or just play ? trust me its becoming too obvious that seun and moderators are up to something.

obadiah777: well yall ndigbo folk had a flourishing site a few years ago called NAIJARYDERS. but the igbo mentality of IT IS MY OWN kicked in. the guy called NNABROS made the site private. and you have to practically beg him before you can join the site now. it takes like 2 weeks before they approve you as a member. so everyone ran away from the site. now you would be lucky if you found 20 people at a time on that site. so yall ndigbo folks cant run nothing. you may as well chill here and enjoy an Yoruba ngbatis site

am not an igboman but if igbo use their websites to do the same thing yorubas are doing to them with nairaland trust me yorubas will have no image left. i dont understand why yorubas people are hell bent of ruining their image on nairaland,i heard in the 50s and 60s igbos and yorubas where relating fine till awolwo started using media outlets to create negative image about igbos and calabar people(who where also considere igbos) while zik was busy using his to promote african unity it beats me, sadly i have talked to several of my igbo friends and they seem to careless ,, you can never do this to my people and get away with it, as for hausa fulanis there own case is different because they dont have much internet presence.

inufele2: Typical Igbo man, na Yoruba man force im go rob? Is the news fake? I wonder what you mean by Yoruba tarnishing Igbos image? Abi make dem no report d crime because it involves an ibo man?

first of all am not an igbo man but i work and live among igbo people, secondly i read mostly newspapers ,its only in nairaland that all the crimes in nigeria are commited by igbos and its very bad, seun and his moderators are trying soo hard to relate crime with igbos while in igbo websites (bellanaija, lindaikeji, 360nobs,iroko king etc)prmote every group positively especially yorubas ,if you see nothing wrong with it then bigotry must be in yoruba DNA.

afam4eva: Although i'm not in supporting of tarnishing the image of any tribe. But i think Igbos have to invest heavily in media because people seem to belive anything they see or hear in the media.Mind you there are Igbo owned sites like LindaIkeji and BellaNaija and NigerianBestForrum but they're not out to haunt anyone. It's unfortunate that Nairaland has decide to follow this path.

linda ieji and bella naija are women they careless about these things rather they are more concerned with entertainment, any group that dont understand the role of the media in this modern world then that group is lost. if nairaland were nigeria for real every single igboman would have been taged a criminal , its not too late though to start.

i have told igbo several times, until you people come up with your own forum to match nairaland ,yorubas will continue to tarnish your image with nairaland , at it is now ,its already getting late cause they are succeding with it. keep whinning instead of doing something about it.

yamakuza: they didnt keep her for 12 hrs per se

the guy spent the night in her hotel room. if u come and visit me and i lodge u, will i leave you in the hotel and go home, seeing as you know no one in lagos, and we have been e-dating?

why go home and talk on the phone when we can play catch up through the night?

of course, he could have used the opportunity to pry for information as well, but my point is that if the drugs had worked as planned, he would have been in and out in a few hours at most

gisting was just to while away time so the drug could take effect

from their video confession it was only one that was with her for 12 hours (probably over night sex which is expected as they have been chatting and he paid for her flight and hotel etc plus chat to get info) the other guy claimned he was called later to come help tie her, this is one of those mysterious nigerian police crime stories that we will never know what actually happened.

stagger: Wore mine for the first year and stopped as I was reacting to the material. I always react to jewelry, bet it watches or chains so I just don't wear them. I will start though as my wife has recently threatened to stop wearing hers: I can't have all those prying Abuja men causing me problems.

same here, i cant wear jeweries ,watches, rings etc, i react to them. am not marrie yet but am sure if i do i wont be wearing my wedding ring.
