What kind of Human being kills an 80 year old grandmother ?

Watch people just as despicable as these murderers and genocide perpetrators try to justify it.

Yoruba was never what Oduduwa and early founders or settlers of South West Nigeria called themselves.

They were usually called by different names of their different dialects. E.g Ekiti, Remo, Ijebu, Awori, Eegun, Egba, Ijesha, Ilesha.

What can best be used as a collective name is Omo kaaro O jire or Omo Odua. That word Yoruba isn’t appropriate but what do I know.

This is a disgrace to the police and all Nigerians

This is because it's only UNN that offers BSc (Nig.), others offers BSc based on their locality... For instance,

UI - BSc (Ibadan)
Unilag - BSc (Lag.)
OAU- BSc (Ife)
ABU BSc (Zaria) etc

Shawarmagirl:
Even Yorubas will not allow Tinubu be their President if the country split.

Igbos will never allow the likes of
Rocha's
Uzodinma
Umahi
TA orji
Orji Uzo Kali, to think of becoming President in South East.

We all know what we are doing in this zoo called country.

XXXOGBA:
Let me speak English for the sake of those reading the thread.

We the Ogbas are not Igbos.
We have no links with them that would make us even relatives.

XXXOGBA:
This is the first time I'm hearing this lie, Igbo man.

No be your Ojukwu annex us by force? Everybody e annex na Igbo?

XXXOGBA:
Unity beggar. We no be Igbo.

Ye vu nde Ogba.

An Open Letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

Proposal to Rename the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in Honour of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, GCFR


Your Excellency,

I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to you as a concerned citizen, deeply appreciative of Nigeria's rich history and the pivotal figures who have shaped our nation's democratic journey. In this regard, I humbly propose the renaming of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), to honour the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, GCFR.

Chief Abiola, born on August 24, 1937, in Abeokuta, was a distinguished businessman, philanthropist, and politician whose life was marked by an unwavering commitment to democracy and social justice. His victory in the June 12, 1993, presidential election, widely regarded as Nigeria's freest and fairest, was a testament to his broad-based support across ethnic and religious lines. Despite the annulment of the election results and his subsequent incarceration, Chief Abiola remained steadfast in his pursuit of democratic ideals until his untimely death on July 7, 1998. His enduring legacy was further recognized when he was posthumously awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) in 2018 by Former President Muhammadu Buhari, and June 12 was declared Nigeria's Democracy Day in his honour.

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, established in 1960, stands as a beacon of Academic excellence and National unity. Founded by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, it was the first indigenous University in Nigeria, embodying the vision of a nation capable of charting its own educational and developmental course. The university's motto, "To Restore the Dignity of Man," resonates profoundly with Chief Abiola's lifelong dedication to human rights, democracy, and the upliftment of the Nigerian people.

Renaming UNN after Chief Abiola would serve multiple purposes:

1. National Unity: It would symbolize the bridging of regional and ethnic divides, reflecting Chief Abiola's pan-Nigerian appeal and the university's national character.

2. Honoring Democratic Sacrifice: This act would immortalize Chief Abiola's contributions to Nigeria's democratic evolution, inspiring future generations to value and uphold democratic principles.

3. Educational Inspiration: Aligning the university with Chief Abiola's legacy would motivate students and faculty to emulate his virtues of resilience, philanthropy, and commitment to societal betterment.

I acknowledge that such a change requires careful consideration, including consultations with stakeholders, alumni, and the academic community. However, I firmly believe that this initiative would not only honour a National hero but also reinforce our collective commitment to the values for which he stood.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I am confident that under your leadership, Nigeria will continue to honour its past while striving towards a more unified and Democratic future.

Sincerely,
Livingsage
(Concerned Citizen)

The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Reverend Callistus Onaga, has condemned the pervasive killings and criminality in the South-East, labelling it as "self-destruction."

Onaga, who spoke during his Christmas media briefing on Tuesday, expressed concerns that the people of the South-East had become cowards of their own actions, allowing a few individuals to profit from their destruction.

"Why will we sit down and plan our own destruction and few people will be profiting with that," he questioned.

Onaga noted that the region has been plagued by violence since 2021, with locals killing each other under the guise of fighting against their oppressors.

"Here in the South East we started killing ourselves saying that we are killing those who are supposed to be killing us. We are destroying ourselves. We have done it for the past three years since 2021.

"We have become cowards of our own actions here in the South East."

He emphasised the need for forgiveness and an end to the cycle of violence.

The bishop also drew attention to the alarming ethnic cleansing in the North East and North Central Nigeria, where locals are being killed and their properties destroyed by both state and non-state actors.

He criticised the tendency to blame foreigners for these atrocities, insisting that Nigerians themselves are responsible.

Let's go over to the North East and all other parts of the North politics and ethnic cleansing," more especially in Benue State where the people are subjugated.

"We are doing a little bit of ethnic cleansing in some areas and then we are blaming the foreigners. No we are the one doing it," the Bishop Onaga insisted.

Speaking on the economic situation in the country, the Bishop appealed to the political elites to prioritize the welfare and well-being of the people.

"Can our politicians think otherwise and begin to make things easier. Will our politicians begin really believe that we the led have some measure of intelligence."

Bishop Onaga prayed for the country to overcome all the challenges impeding development through the coming of Christ and Christ celebration in this Christmas.

"My dear fellow Nigerians let us not add to the sufferings that are coming onto us by making things more difficult. At the Christmas celebrate with everybody, bring down your prices, bring down whatever you are doing.

"Yes even in the church you should do something bring down whatever lavies so that people can really feel the impact of the celebration of love and celebration of joy at Christmas."

Onaga's comments come as a call to action for Nigerians to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a more peaceful and harmonious society.

Activist, Aisha Yesufu has declared that the leader of the Conservative Party leader in the United Kingdom, UK, Kemi Badenoch is not a Nigerian.

Yesufu berated Badenoch for saying repatriation due to colonialism is a scam.

Posting on social media, the co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group reminded Badenoch that the United Kingdom was built on the pains of colonised people.

He wrote: “Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch that said repatriation because of colonialism is a scam and we should focus on the future not the past is still hung up that a policeman stole her brother’s shoes!

“Gullible citizens, our enemy’s enemy is not your friend. He/She can be your worst enemy.

United Kingdom grew on the back of people’s pain and anguish. Looted Kingdoms, destroyed systems and killed people and Kemi says their wealth isn’t from people’s pain.

Anyway, like I said earlier, Kemi should move on! She is not Nigerian and we get it!”

History proves Yoruba's are the early settlers and land owners of Onitsha & Owerri. They lease the land to Igbo people who eventually settle there till this present time.
