VAT or cooked books, Ndigbo want out of the shithole called Nigeria. The teste of the pudding is in the eating. After the actualization of Republic of Igboland or even Republic of Biafra, Kano State and Republic of Arewastan can enjoy their VAT to the fullest. There is no force which can stop what has been set in motion to actualize Republic of Igboland or Republic of Biafra.
Movic1: The most extreme settlement in Nigeria is the Makoko slum. Makoko is an environmental eyesore, environmental nuisance, security risk and toxic pollutants of water. The LASG should demolish makoko and relocate the occupants to another place..
[quote author=360degreess post=108998759].. Regulate what?.. You are irresponsible.[/quote]
You are one reason Nigeria is shithole. What crass irresponsibility are you talking about? The dude (Wikesogie) is authoritarian and have no place in democracy.
zhike: Does Nigeria have a proper army? Why is the army unable to bring stability in Nigeria?
I do not think there is such thing as proper or improper army. In addition, it is not the duty of the army to maintain internal peace. Any army is set up to protect the territorial boundaries of a country or nation. I guess the maintenance of internal security or peace of any country falls on the laps of police force and other security agencies.
kmcutez: Can we create opera sounds and blend it with other sounds like rap, Afrobeats etc. Our language sounds similar to Latin and we also sing with high pitch voices, so I feel we can do it. Just check out this masterpiece. It’s the number one song in almost all countries and trending as the top sound on Tiktok.
I another "Wannabe" on the loose. Try to encourage Urhobo, Isoko and Edo to stay in their lane. One of the Nigeria's best musicians of all times was an Edo.
The question for the caption would have been, "When will Nigerian rogues in politician clothes ever say things like these!!". Nigeria does not have politicians but criminals.
zhike: Ok, does crude oil have impact in the war that is happening in Nigeria? The good part about Afganistan is that outside forces were fighting with indigenous.
About Nigeria fellow Nigerians are fighting with each other
If you think all the happenings in Nigeria today do not stem from the crude oil war known as Nigeria/Biafra war, it is safe to say you are a backbench learner.

Since the idea of Nigeria was conceived, Yoruba have not assumed the responsibility of their actions. In one instance, Yoruba did not have enough men with balls, I mean soldiers in Nigerian army to tell Gowon to move up north. However, when the war was won by Nigeria and its allies, Yoruba claimed to have won the war. Yoruba arrested Awolowo, prosecuted Awolowo and sentenced Awolowo to life in prison yet Yoruba had the affrontery to hang the blame on others.
okrote4real: Following the claim that former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan handed over a prosperous economy to the Buhari administration, the Special Envoy on Diplomacy & Good Governance of the International Peace Commission of the UN, as well as Global Vice Chairman, Advocacy for Good Governance Network, Amb. Hussaini Coomassie has come out to debunk the claim by former aviation minister, Osita Chidoka that President Jonathan handed over a prosperous economy to the Buhari led administration.
According to him, if GEJ had handed over $5bn to Buhari as claimed by Chidoka, how come was he borrowing to pay salaries?
He also added that if truly president Jonathan left behind a massive chunk of $5.6billion Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Dividends and a 2015 budget of over N4trillion along with a total of $2.2billion in Excess Crude Oil Account to president Buhari, why was Jonathan borrowing to pay salaries?
"In a May 2015 report by Premium Times, it was revealed that the Federal Government borrowed about N500bn to pay salaries and to fund the 2015 budget. Okonjo-Iweala said that the government resorted to borrowing as a result of a decline in oil revenue. This revelation by Okonjo-Iweala is in sharp contrast to the picture that Chidoka was trying to paint in his response to Amaechi’s remark.
"Even though Amaechi may not have been 100 per cent accurate in what he said (politicians like to exaggerate the failures of their rivals), but things were not as rosy as the former Minister of Aviation wants us to believe. The economy was bleeding under Jonathan and the administration was desperately looking for funds to keep the government running.
"Another evidence that the economy under Jonathan was in a mess was the fact that from 2014 to May 2015 when Buhari took over, the GDP was in constant decline. It was not until 2017 that Buhari was able to arrest the decline and the economy recorded its first quarterly growth since 2014.
"Indeed, Amaechi was not far from the truth as GEJ handed over to Buhari an economy that was in terrible shape as well as high rate of insecurity," he concluded.
The bolded spoke volume. Is Buhari, as a person or president, responsible for civil servant salary? Why do countries, including the shithole called Nigeria, have a budget? This dumbass fool called Hussaini Coomassie has no business around Diplomacy & Good Governance of the International Peace Commission of the UN. This is one of the reasons I believed UN is a waste pipe.
Njokuobinna: UCHE NWOSU'S ARREST CONTROVERSY: THE FACTS AND MERITS OF THE MATTER.
+ Njoku MacDonald Obinna
Owerri, Imo State.
A variety of methods are carefully and critically deployed in getting audience while promoting one's political view , in pressing home one's sailent points, and exercising one's force of argument through superior opinion during political debate.
Thursday night , December 30th, 2021, millions of people around the world tuned unto Channels Television as Mr. Kayode Okikiolo, in Politics Today program, engaged Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, former Chief of Staff to the Imo State Government House, and Barr. Dainel Bwala , an APC spokesman who represented Imo State Government , after the controversial and embarrassing arrest of the former by a joint security forces acting on the alleged order of Inspector General of Police, IG Usman Akali Baba, last Sunday; during an outing thanksgiving burial mass of Ezinne Jemimah Nwosu, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu 's late mother, at St. Peter's Anglican Church, Eziama Obirie, Nkwerre LGA, Imo State.
Barely five days aftermath of the controversial arrest of Uche Nwosu, the print media, new media, electionic media and social space had been awash with series of accusations and counter -accusations from the supporters of both parties , name -callings, varying interpretations and misinterpretations, defenses, blind arguments , poor analysis and dangerous attempts to divert attention, as paid media hirelings and hack writers rolled their sleeves to work while our collective peace in the cyber space is polluted like black sooth.
However, staying clued to the television with raptured attention as an independent publisher and opinion moulder, I can honestly say without being guilty of sounding immodest that Ugwumba Uche Nwosu was prepared for the debate and was also in total control as he kept his narratives straight to the point, equipped with facts, and was responding to the questions thrown at him by the moderator - Kayode Okikilolo, with such endearing vivacity while getting sympathy from the viewers across party lines and geopolitical zones being a victim of political persecution even when he is no saint.
Unfortunately, the present government has continued to take actions and decisions that usually keep it under undue public opprobrium and political bashings. Who is Dainel Bwala ? A lawyer , public analyst and APC chieftian from far away Borono State.
Bringing a stranger from the North to defend Imo State Government in a home affair is not only a slight to the Shared Prosperity Administration , but a big indictment of Governor Hope Uzodimma 's leadership inability to make out time and thoroughly assemble his ' Best First Eleven ' to run a proactive, respsonsive, constructive and effective people - based government.
Where are the likes of Barr. Onuegbu Enyinnaya and Dr. Fabian Ihekweme? What about his SA on Political Matters Dr. Batos Nwadike ? Sound, articulate, vibrant, proactive and smart politicial tacticians that have all it takes to defend the government , its policies and fast denigrating image ? Does the government lack human resources to engage Chief Uche Nwosu on a widely followed national television like Channels ? Bringing a stranger who is not on ground and couldn't pronounce Okorocha, Uzodimma, Ihedioha, Nwosu , etc, to represent Imo State does not only sound alien but also reflects the leadership style of the governor who finds it diffcult to relate with the people at the grassroots.
Just in football, arguably, the greatest game to grace the world. Watched, adored and played in every aspect of every mankind. No good coach goes to any serious competition or tournament without freaturing his best first 11 players.
On the contrary, at assumption of office as Imo State governor , on January 15th, 2020, His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodimma started on wrong footings by appointing 'his men' as a way of compensating them rather than look out for seasoned administrators, financial experts , policy formulators, political strategists, and a carefully select economic team that could help him drive the 3R Policy Thrusts of his Administration.
Admittedly, while there is nothing wrong in compensating your friends and political allies with appointments, but sacrificing merit over friendship is also a disservice to the oath of office under which mandate you promised to serve ndi Imo . This is what stands Chief Emeka Ihedioha out within the short period of time he held sway as an 'illegal occupant of Imo State governorship seat' going by the controversial Supreme Court verdict.
While Imo people may have objected the choice of Lai, sorry, Chief Declan Emelumba Commissioner for Information & Strategy, why not look for a smart and thoroughbred party man to defend the state government on a weighty issue like this ?
Where are the likes of Ogu Bundu , Collins Ughalaa , Nwamkpa Modestus , Cajetan Duke , Okafor Nnaemeka , and Citizen Ikenna Samuelson Iwuoha ? Are they only good at defending and fighting for the Shared Prosperity Administration on WhatsApp groups and Facebook? The above reinforces my argument that Governor Hope Uzodimma pays little attention in raising a new crop of leadership in the state, with his alleged poor reward system which I doubt he may want to improve on until a few months to the next general elections. When it might be too late.
If he had raised men, there wouldn't have been any need to look elsewhere for someone to defend him on a national television. When you practically engage , empower and give some good exposure to your awowed supporters and trusted loyalists , you see them perform optimally and in their best ! A secured leader doesn't reduce his men to ' Hallelujah boys' to borrow a leaf from Ikenga Imo , but he grooms them into bold and independent minds that could take up issues for discussion in the public domain and also defend him.
No doubt, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu dusted Dainel Bwala in a number of his expositions, while the other man was busy chasing after cloud and name- callings; Okorocha and Ihedioha who were not on the program with him.
Another intelligent point embedded with sympathy:
`` Okorocha is my father in-law and no father in-law keeps queit when his son in-law is in danger .`` - Uche Nwosu.
Uche Nwosu was confident, relaxed, equipped with facts and free -minded. He might have won the fight , but not the war! The coming weeks and months promise to be interesting with underlying political intrigues and melodrama.
Judging from above, however, the dirty blow meted against Governor Hope Uzodimma 's public image by Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha , Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and their handlers in the past few days with the background assistance of the Nigerian media which seems to be on the side of the cruficied rather than the justified.
To this end, let me candidly advise His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodimma to do well by going for a return match to savage his battered image in the public space by the Okorochas, but he must be circumspect in doing that as the opposition against his government seems to be increasing on daily basis.
He should also do well to tell the story himself , no stranger or hired spokesperson can ever express your feelings better than you do. `` He who wears the shoe knows where it pitches him.``
So far, his team of image makers and handlers are loosing the media war! This is an undiluted truth and irrefutable fact. They can ignore it at their own peril !
I cannot believe the bolded is true. Does the Inspector General of Police have to authority to order the arrest of every and anybody in the shithole called Nigeria? Police and law enforcement agency have the authority to arrest as the crime is committed. However, the power to arrest any citizen for assumed offence must come through the courts via arrest warrant.
GodHatesBigots: Each tribe waiting for bad news about another tribe and then when there is bad news, they rejoice at the suffering of other tribes they hate vehemently ?
There are many idiots and losers on this forum - including Igbos, Hausas, Yorubas etc whose primary duty on nairaland is to search all over the Internet for bad news and then when the bad news is discovered they post it, mock their enemies and even wish them more evil. These losers celebrate rape, poverty and genocide. Evil people.
Let me assure you that God is not with you.
Repent before you enter into 2022.
Thanks.
The only thing which could stop the crass stupidity is disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria. It will be a humble experience for certain fools to beg for any help from the people they had wished doom.
Igbokid: Well, if you weren't dyslexic, you must be really suffering from some extreme mental retardation. Your IQ is probably in the single digits .
Awolowo was the leader of AG and no decision would be taken by the party without his approval or support.
True to your lying habits which borders on the pathological, you claimed AG and NCNC didn't have the numbers to form the government yet in another breath you said Awo/Ige were in Onitsha . Did Awo/Ige go to Onitsha to eat okpa If you needed to see a brain dead loser..just look in the mirror. I hope it isn't genetical tho because that would be disastrous for your scions.
Stop shifting goal post and get some proper book to read kiddo.
Lemme educate you since you are too dumb to recognise the fact. The reasons the coupists claimed for embarking on the so called revolution were widespread corruption and abuse of power by the NPC/NCNC led federal government .
If the utterly corrupt NPC/NCNC government wasn't in place , there wouldn't have been a coup and the subsequent events that eventually resulted into the civil war.
I'm sure this simple logic would fly over you abi should I do a craniotomy and paste the writing on your cerebral cortex
You are typical Nigerian who are loudmouthed yet cannot secure a job due to poor performance at the job interview. Awolowo being leader of Action Group Party did not make Awolowo the Action Group Party. Subsequent events that followed 1960 proved it as fact. Action Group Party continued as a political party when Awolowo was slammed into jail for treason. For curiosity's sake, have you seen a question from Intelligent Quotient Test? Even Zik was flabbergasted that Awo and Ige visited him in Onitsha. Awolowo was a typical Yoruba with Ponzi characteristics. Wow!!! Did I not mention being a typical Yoruba? Now the reason behind the precipitation of coup on January 15, 1966 was indeed corruption not Igbo wanting to dominate.
chrisxxx: There is one problem most you Igbo people have not come to term with. The Ikwerre people of which I am one understand this more than the Igbo people. Igbo people like brotherhood. This is true. Once you speak bear they see you as their own. The Ikwerre people like Igbo people. I like them. Wike likes them as well as Amaechi. My grand maternal mother was from Umuahia. My great grand paternal grandmother was from Orodo. This should be in Imo State. The bone of contentious we have with you people is when you guys come to wear us the robe that we are Igbos. You can't tell me who I am. There was never a time we were Igbos. Our distinctions are so wide and broad. We are brothers. Neither Wike nor Amaechi would deny this. But they will deny when you call them Igbo. You have seen my Igbo roots above. If by tomorrow I decide to dress like Igbo man it doesn't make all Ikwerre Igbos. You guys should understand this. If you guys are sensible as you guys claimed to be you would have call for a Union of Igbo, Ikwerre and other related group just as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Your brother is not you. Of course someone would see a similarity between you and your brother. That's the relationship between the Ikwerres and Igbos as well as Etche, Ekpeye and Ogba. Even with the similarities of language and culture we have with the Etche people we never call them Ikwerre. Even wh n people say Etche is Ikwerre we say no we are brothers. You guys need to cone to term with this. I come in peace.
For posterity's sake, is Ikwerre the correct and full name of the people you claimed as a part? However, Ikwerre is not Igbo. Who in his/her correct sense would want Ikwerre as compatriot in Republic of Igboland?
Igbokid: Are you dyslexic ? Isn't the bolded part clear enough ? You are a joke and should probably be in the sanatorium nursing your dementia
Any 2 of the 3 parties could form a government. Abi you knew more than Awolowo and the AG that were making overtures to Azikwe then ?
The silly excuse of the Zikists was that they didn't want 2 parties predominantly formed by Southerners to form the government . They apparently had the numbers if they wanted .
Sadly, we all know the outcome of the NPC/NCNC romance . Thousands murdered in 1966 . Millions murdered in 1967-1970. And your Fulani husband ensured you ended up as a dot in a circle
I do not suffer from phonological Dyslexia as you do. Only a dumbass fool who takes Awolowo for Action Group is dyslexic. In addition, based on the official tabulation of the 1959 parliamentary result, I deduced to know more than Awolowo and Action Group. Awolowo played a game of turncoat only known to Yoruba by sending a team of snitches to Kaduna while he joined Ige to Onitsha. Talk being dyslexic, only a sufferer can conclude that the 1966 pogrom in northern region of Nigeria was as a result of NPC/NCNC coalition instead of the actions precipitated by the putschists.
GetMeRight: Trust me, you're ignorant of what you are talking about. Some simply lost their jobs and no family or friends to support. them unlike here For the fact that you even believed that government can cater for all of them but they simply couldn't abide by the "rules" is the problem means you don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you take few minutes to educate yourself on this and come back with more knowledge about this?
The bolded stems from culture. You cannot be more correct. In most cases. it is by choice.
LegendHero: Lol we are talking about premiership and leadership of a whole region and you're talking about an inconsequential mayor.
@your bolded question, the tribe that have a disgraceful end after partnership with the North is the Igbos, let me tell you why: The North betrayed Azikwe by killing scores of Igbos between1966-1970 and they brole Azikwe spirit that made him renounce Biafra. The North disgraced Igbos in 1983/1984 when the jailed Ekwueme and freed Shagari, Ekwueme was disgraced by being placed behind bar.
To the poster of the above junk, your stream of thought matched very well with a high school dropout who turned motor vehicle detailer. The bolded in red in the above is one of the idiotic scribbles which emboldened the northern regional elites to assume Nigeria remains theirs for keep. Between 1966-1970, Nigeria (northern, western and midwestern regions) not the north betrayed Azikwe by killing many numbers of Ndigbo.
LegendHero: I stumbled upon the archive of the New York Times in October 18th 1959 on the eve of the election battle preceding the independence. The article clearly shows the genesis of the problem of Nigeria and how the Igbos and North both ganged up against the Yorubas because of their hatred for the success of the Western region.
Excerpts from the paper shows the Western Region is the most developed and richest region in Nigeria pre-1960, and it also capture succinctly what I have been saying that the Yorubas will be far better off with our Oduduwa Republic than remaining in this Nigeria that is pulling us down.
Below are the quotes from the Times newspaper:
The conservative North, 75 percent Muslim and containing about half of Nigeria's population, is governed by the Northern people's congress. The premier is Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, who carries the title of Saraduana of Sokoto.
In the East, where the intelligent, energetic Ibo tribes predominates the controlling party is the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, headed by one of the most dazzling of Nigerian politicians, Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, premier of the Eastern region, who is known throughout the country as Zik.
In the somewhat more developed west, which is Yoruba Country, the government is run quite well, it is said by Chief Awolowo, an able politician, and his Action group. The West points with pride to its universal free primary education, free medical treatment for children up to 18years of age, agricultural planning and other social programs of which no other Nigerian region can boast of.
On the Hatred of the Yorubas by Azikwe and Balewa: The Federal government whose prime minister is Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, a muslim notable from the north, is managed by a coalition of the Northern people congress and National council of the Nigeria and the Cameroonians, two parties that have very little in common except mutual dislike of the third (Awolowo).
Anytime the Igbos accuse Yorubas of being betrayals, you should direct them to this factual statement of their eternal betrayal of the Yorubas by being slaves to the North and being a coward to conspire with the north to hate Awolowo who would have made this Nigeria a great country.

When I read certain craps posted on this forum, I try to imagine the level of intellect of the goons who wrote the silly pieces and comprehensible ability of the posters. This is type of goofy tuff which seems to make the day for the dunces, such as "Two parties that have very little in common except mutual dislike of the third (Awolowo)". I did not know Awolowo was a political party. NPC and NCNC were two of many political parties which fought for parliamentary seats during 1959 election. The results as tabled indicated the coalition of NCNC and AG could not form a government. In addition, the coalition of NPC and AG could not form a government too. The most reasonable action therein remained a coalition of NPC and NCNC to form a coalition which guaranteed two-third majority in the legislature.
dasparrow: You are lying! I don't know what is wrong with some of you Nigerians. America is my second home. Lived in U.S longer than I ever lived in Nigeria or in Western Europe where I was born. There are more homeless people than there are homeless shelters. I should know because I used to volunteer in shelters in the United States. And no, the shelters don't take all homeless people in or help the homeless with jobs, health insurance, etc.
There are so many Americans who are not homeless and have no health insurance coverage how much more the homeless.
Also, not all homeless people are drug addicts or people with mental health issues. Some are regular folks who lost their jobs, could no longer make rent and found themselves on the street. Most Americans are only 1 paycheck away from ending up on the street.
REAL Americans tell the truth about their country America unlike African migrants like you who stay hyping other people's country more than your own. America is on a downward spiral. Americans know this and talk about it all the time but African migrants like you will come online to lie about a country that you don't even originally come from because many of you are so thirsty for validation from Nigerians in Nigeria and want Nigerians in Nigeria to worship your azz all because you reside in America.
So many Americans are running away from America and migrating to countries in South and Central America, Asia, Australia and to Africa. Yes, you heard me, AFRICA!
Keep hyping America and don't go and fix your homeland. As a Black African, you will always be looked down upon no matter where you live on earth until you develop your homeland. America is not your ancestral land. Go and develop your ancestral land in Nigeria Africa.
