There is no space at the oba palace where a world-class museum can sit. The land left therein is fore other traditional and social functions.

DrHighchief:
what's so special about FTC?

I don't know. That's why I long for it

This happened again. Instead of me to comment, I was busy reading. Now I've missed FTC.
Moral lesson: when faced with problems, solve the most important first, not the easiest.

I know of his bitterness towards Gowon. Gowon was his superior in the army so he had to stand down and watch Gowon take over power. I am also aware of his bloodless coup; Gowon was out of the country when it happened.
What I really don't get is the whole conspiracy surrounding Kaduna. From my findings, he fought for the Biafran course, but was eventually executed by Ojukwu for treason. Kaduna was brave and daring! Ironsi is the Jonathan of that era if you ask me.
There's no excuse for the atrocities committed by Murtala in Asaba. If you justify the killings, you might as well justify Hitler's crimes against the Jews. Will you still make excuses for him in the role he played in the 1966 anti Igbo progrom?
This whole episode reminds me of Josef Stalin. Hahaha, he is being revered by many people in Russia as a hero.

Someone here said that he didn't order the massacre. That Mj. Taiwo who undertook it without his consent was severely punished. Is it true?

YorubaAssasin:
You seem a pretty civil individual and hence, I find it worthy to hold a civil conversation as called for.

A retrospective background on the genesis of the Igbo issue and 1966 coup...

The Murder of Ironsi was apparently a revenge counter-coup from the Northerners. Ironsi was a FOOL! (no disrespect). He didn't make the needed strategic moves to bulk himself with the necessary ammunitions when he had the chance.

Major Nzeogwu (God bless his heart... the only gallant Igbo soldier I respect till date) handed power over Northern Nigeria to Ironsi out of respect for his superior office and probably cultural values. To me that was where Igbo gave up their chance to rule.

Ojukwu, who held Maj. Nzeogwu to a ransom as he did him a favor by releasing him after turning himself in to the Fed. gov't. He in turn treated the Major with disdain and disrespect by disarming him even, during the Biafra war. This all becuz of unnecessary pride and ego ( to prove to him who the real boss is in the SE region) as he (Ojukwu) realizes the gallant Major was gaining more popularity and affection than him.

There're very solid, again, I say very solid evidences that Ojukwu strategically killed Major Patrick 'Kaduna' Nzeogwu. He never fought for Biafra as widely believed. His murder was well planned that his eyes were gorged out of his skull. He agitated for one Nigerian with Awolowo as the president. He and his men were given shelter by late Tai Solarin at Mayflower in Ikenne.
This was where he surrendered to the FG. Till date, ask any Ex-Mayflower student... there's a very popular road named after him, "Major Chukuma Kaduna Nzeogwu road". Tai Solarin loved him dearly. His own Igbo pple didn't even accord him such regard and reverence.

I'm not objecting your claim regarding the massacre... but, common we all know this is Military where everything is under authoritative command!
Murtala is a very guy that represents the epitome of simplicity and discipline. His coup that ousted Gowon was bloodless. Did you know that Murtala was systematically robbed of the Head-Of-State position given to Gowon. He felt bitter and aggrieved all thru Gowon's 8yrs yet, bloodlessly ousted him.

To be continued ....

Bro please I need full detail. Help me with it in anyway please. I like your analysis

Balderdash! Preposterous!

Why did she have to post this birthday on social media? So the world should think she's a good mother or what?

It might be that the daughter was by her side when she posted this.

Wow, Vexxy, that must be the worst Valentine's day gift possible!

I'm not sure if I've gotten one in the past - if I have, then it must have been a cheap card with a hand-written note. My ideal Valentine's day gift? A debit card with thousands of dollars loaded!

If you've been recieved a really nice Valentine's day gift in the past, why don't you tell us about it?

Not commuting yourself totally to Christ. Serving God only when things re going well, and turning from God when things go south.

No news again tonight

mrvitalis:
First of all it has been proven time and time again Buhari never took part in any coupe

Secondly until I see a detailed argument of what Buhari did that's bad and what he was supposed to do instead ...all this are rubbish

Buhari has his issues ( herdsmen handling and few others )but the effort to stablise Nigeria can be seen ....our economy is growing contract are flowing in to people that seek them

Until I see a better alternative ( not atiku or fayose ) I would stick to Buhari

My own opinion

Throughout my teenage years I never indulged in anything that is remotely considered as youthful exuberances. No parties.. No hangouts.. No rebellion.. No fun.. No girls.

I'm what you'll consider as a pretty decent kid. Been always studious and devote. I felt those stuff were distractions and a waste of time. so I was always buried in books and church activities.

I thought being uptight and serious would make me "successful" . Unfortunately.... It appears I might have been wrong. I see my friends who practically live in orgies and revelries enjoy life and still have things work fine for them. So I guess screw seriousness!

Recently I've been having a strange feeling of emptiness. I read up some books and most suggested that lack of love/companionship can be a major reason for feelings of emptiness.

It then dawned on me that I've never asked a girl out in my entire life. I've never dated. I never thought it was a big deal and I pretty enjoy my company alone. I assumed I'll get a girl when am ready for marriage. But hey... I don't even know if I'll be alive that long (tomorrow isn't guaranteed).

I've recently been feeling very lonely .. do you think it's a problem I've never experienced relationship with a girl at my age? I'll be 23 next year.

I don't care about intimacy cus you can easily get that without dating no body.

Constructive suggestions please

Read Psalm 73, Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Mark 10:28-30.

Just try

What keeping him from marrying her? Some ladies are just so stupid and have no worth for themselves. I'm sure she's comfortable and proud to be just his babymama

The art of deception is sacrosanct, one every political enthusiast must learn and whatever is worth learning is worth mastering.

Well, you made a mistake. #EndSARS

Dear Nairalanders. Firstly, I'd like to thank God for the inspiration for this song released by my brother.
It's a Gospel song titled "Olorun Ikore" (Lord of the Harvest) by Ainose x David's Generation. This is a song for Thanksgiving to God.
