Aguyi Ironsi acts and greed for power was/is part if not the main cause of Nigeria's problem, whereby people in government want to get to top even if it means killing their follow country men and expect people to worship them for it.
For his actions dia was a reaction, an eye for an eye makes Nigeria go blind sha.

Wasted life.

And by the evening,his name would have been forgotten.

When will people learn from history?thousands died during the civil war,but can any of us even remember the names of any?

But we do remember Ojukwu's name,that led them to their deaths,and also General Gowon,that liberated and ensured Nigeria remains one.

And how did Ojukwu that led thousands to war,and also fled from the War die?in his sleep.

He died peacefully after leading thousands to violent deaths.

To those that have ears,do not be deceived. Tell the likes of Kanu and Unwazuruike,to be on the front line too,to lead the chant for the break up of Nigeria,instead of giving orders via a Radio show.
Ignorance is a disease. Do a little research on the civil war, it helps you align your thoughts.
So sad for you

You can't really blame people who panic. There is usually no smoke without fire.

A client of mine once shared a story of how he was able to get his funds out of a bank some years ago before it "packed up". Just before the bank went under, an insider asked him to withdraw ALL his funds. He is forever grateful to this individual.

It may interest you to know that way back November 2015, some sources warned of the current situation. See below;

You should be properly informed before responding to my post.

Who told you skye bank has gone under?

Your friend withdrew all his money last year. If I may ask, Do you know of any one which skye bank has not met his or her obligation as at yesterday?
The point is that people like you think you are informed, but sadly you are not.

The test of a distress bank is one which is unable to meet his obligations to its customers.
CBN has CRR ratio which all banks must meet at all times. In Nigeria this ratio is as high as 18%. Some banks is as high as 20%.

This is only a control indicator. It does not mean the bank is distressed.
If you need a more informed education let me know

OlujobaSamuel:
do you really think it's the fault of those raising the panics?
we are in a nation where you don't easily get credit facility, where you hardly get apologies talk more of compensation, how do you expect citizens having life savings to react? it's not just about withdrawals, shareholders too will be selling off their equity, you can't also blame them since there is no guarantee for higher value tomorrow.
Panic is not just about Skye or Nigerians, it happens anywhere an organization dealing with public fund is in distress, it's similar to fuel scarcity.
If anyone has fears, let him or her share it. It's wrong to write misleading articles with wrong analysis that would instigate fear and unjustifiable actions

If you have 5000 Militants in the region, and you pay them 20k every month, that would be a 100Million in a month, and 1.2Billion Naira in a year.

In a region of over 10million ppl, is this how we should be operating.

I would rather the government open a farm, and have those ex-militant go and earn a living.

What message do we send to the hardworking, crime free citizen earning a minimum wage of less than 20k in a month.

can government foot the bill if every mail in the region pick up arms and wait to be settled? what have has the money spent sofar brought to the region?

The Government was right to stop the payment to the ex-militants. let us learn to do thinks right.

[b]So why has Buhari finally succumbed to naira devaluation? Economic experts had advised him long before now and he remained restive? Why? Just to show that he is Buhari? And his blind empty brained applauding him from the sideline.

Did someone say NDA should stop pipeline vandalism? President Musa Yaradua in his wisdom granted amnesty to Niger Delta Militants and paid allowances to parve way for peace.

President Goodluck Jonathan awarded contracts security of pipelines to Ex militants and OPC knowing that they were respondsible for vandalism. This helped reduce vandalism almost to nothing.

PMB came on board and said the approach by the past administrative was structured to promote corruption and decided to scrap it.

Empty brained supporters were applauding at the sidelines and taunting the wisdom of the past government.

With all the effort to discredit the decisions and wisdom of other past administration, am yet to see this APC government putting up a more superior and better workable policies.

Her killing can never ever be justified...I agree

[size=18pt] But talking about religious tolerance, can we do something about the use of MegaPhones from street to street...for crying out loud, it does not make sense.[/size]

Let us learn to respect each other's faith. She may have been killed by frustrated youths, or extremists, but who knows, she may have been frequent in that neighbourhood...and if it is anything like I am used to hearing...the message will be "it is not about religion, where do you wan to end up? give your life to christ, he is the only one that can save you...it is not about fasting, Jesus loves you..."

Why will you walk to the front of the mosque when Muslims have woken up to worship God, and start telling them to repent and give their lives to Jesus. In Front of the mosquehuh In a hausa community? That is outright provocation.

So, if the local imam had said..."chase that woman away"...he was only acting by instincts. But who ever thought of stabbing her has transgressed.

Enough of this street to street evangelism via MegaPhones...it makes no sense...the JW use pamphlets and magazines...that's more reasonable

And again, her killing cannot be justified.



N.B:
Some people have replied me asking why Mosques are allowed to use megaphones and yet the evangelist cannot.

Well, Mosques are allowed, just as Churches too are allowed.

But to take your own megaphone from door to door is a bit too extreme.
If I had my way...all religious centres should keep their sound systems INDOORS.

What their hero cannot achieve in 5 years, they want an innocent man to do within a year. They think Nigerians are fools
Deduct 1 year from 5years how much is left?

If 1 year is so little in your eyes why not endure the road until the saviour Buhari completes rehabilitation in 2 years.

BusinessRe: Central Bank Of Nigeria Claims “no Nigerian Bank” Is In Distress | Sahara Report by Icecomrade(op): 7:25am On Jul 07, 2016
Where are those mischief makers instigation the public against Skye Bank.
What do you people have to say now?
BusinessCentral Bank Of Nigeria Claims “no Nigerian Bank” Is In Distress | Sahara Report by Icecomrade(op): 7:18am On Jul 07, 2016
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has denied what it called “malicious rumors and unfounded speculations” that some banks in the country are in distress or may be in the process of doing so.

“Neither Skye Bank nor any other bank in the industry is in distress,” it said in a statement signed by Isaac Okorafor, its Acting Director, Corporate Communications.

The statement followed stories in the media, including SaharaReporters, over this week’s sudden mass resignation of the board of Skye Bank.

“The CBN wishes to reiterate in the strongest terms that these rumors and speculations are untrue and do not reflect the actual health of the individual banks and indeed, the entire banking industry,” the statement said.

The CBN described the infusion of a new Board and Management for Skye BankPLC as “a proactive regulatory action meant to ensure that the bank does not continue to fail in its relevant prudential ratios,” adding that the reports are the handiwork of mischief-makers who do not mean well for the Nigerian banking system and its economy.

“There is, therefore, no need for panic withdrawals from any bank,” the statement continued. “Going by both the CBN's Examination Reports as well as analysis from market watchers, International Credit Rating Agencies, and Development Finance Institutions, the Nigerian banking industry remains strong in spite of the global economic challenges emanating from the collapse of global commodity prices.”

Two days ago, we provided background information on the chaos at Skye Bank, stating that the so-called voluntary resignation of the bank’s top management arose from bad loans and insider malpractices by board members.

Bank chairman Tunde Ayeni, for instance, owed the bank at least N102 billion, a debt burden he had failed to service for several years.

While Mr. Ayeni was one of those who resigned on Monday, neither CBN nor Skye Bank, which also sought to refute our story yesterday, has said one word about the bank’s terrible debt profile.

Mr Governor you are not being denied anything. Are you not in court already? Did anybody stop you? Why are you being economical with truth? Why not say they want to deny you of Government funds to pursue your case at the Appeal? Why not tell the world that you want to remain on seat and be using state funds to pursue your case? Your fear is that you cannot live without state funds and allocation for now. It's so sweet that you are beginning to miss it already? By the way, when last did you pay salaries of civil servants ? Are you aware that civil servants are being owed 5months salaries? Are you also aware that civil servants in your state were last paid in January and this is July Mr Governor. Why are you so heartless Mr Governor? Last month allocation has just arrived and you want to waste it in court cases and political abracadabra? The God of Abians and your praise singers will not allow you do that........ He will rise on behalf of the poor masses and suffering civil servants in your state to deliver them from your hands and so see that you go to court from your house and not from Government house using state funds. If in the end you succeed you can come back to take your seat BUT FOR NOW - His Office Let Another Take.Acts 1:20

Maybe some people understand their rights. Some are not Cowards. And choosing not to succumb to cowardice does not mean they want to use government fund to pursue appeal.

The judgment is faulted and should not be allowed to hold sway. Thats promoting impunity.
It's only a court of final jurisprudence that can issue such order.

Appeal is a constitutional right available to you and Ikpeazu. You cannot excute a judgement that is heard on appeal.

So try a little to hide your ignorance when next you want to react to headlines on Nairaland

Skye Bank is still a healthy bank. Just wondering the basis for this long text book.

The reality is that the present economy is going to have an adverse effect on the financial sector. All the banks are burning hard under this government economy until something drastic is done.

CBN policy is killing. Today that useless CBN comes up with a policy, 1 or 2 months after, the policies are reversed. Income lines are yanked off. TSA taken away liquidity from the financial sector. Budget is delayed and passed without implementation.

Cost has increased with subsidy removal.

CBN should prepare for more of this.

This government will kill our economy.
