At least this is one area we must condemn.

World Bank’s 775 million dollars support to the North East focuses on restoring basic education, health services, agricultural production, and livelihood improvement opportunities.”...

And the whole country is paying for this debt, used only for the North East rehabilitation.

They should share these debt only to the NE, NW, North monthly allocation account, recoverable in instalments.
PoliticsRe: The Real Problem With Northern Nigeria by isnovic(m): 6:11pm On Oct 13, 2017
I am piqued by people naivity.

The North has shown they are skillful in the art of politicking and would not falter in this issue also.

mark my word, any means to stall the question of resource control will be employed plus threat and overt display of force if need be.

They will stall until a befitting tinkering teams comes up with an avenue to profit, or until the extensive exploration activities in the North hit commercial oil deposit.

If the South knows anything, they should insist, scheme, lobby, threaten the FG until resource control is achieved, this way they will catch the North completely pants down.

Anything except this, will play into the Northern game plan of buying time until a perfect anti-political play is obtained or commercial oil is discovered.

Well written speech.
Delivery is not as good as the speech.

Rightly observed, the speech is laced with hypocrisy.

Plus it piqued my interest to note that the examples he gave are mainly of Muslims country with him championing a re-visit of the 1967 UN terms of two states solution in Israel-Palestine conflict.

He should really practice what he preaches, but again he is a typical politician and one expect nothing less.
PoliticsThe International Conspiracy To Install Hausa Fulani Theocracy In Nigeria-ffk by isnovic(op):
Mr. Jean-Claude Junker, the blunt, strong-willed and battle-tested President of the European Commission blew hot about the precarious plight of the Igbo people and the dangers faced by members of the Indegenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) in Nigeria last week.

He said “it is the people’s right to agitate and make a request from their government. Self-determination is a right enshrined in the United Nation Charter. The people of Biafra have every right to request for a referendum. They have been in this struggle for a while now. They have never killed or shot a bullet instead they are the victims of attacks and murder. The EU hereby condemns the brutal attack on IPOB members and leadership under the pretentious disguise of a military exercise (Operation Python Dance). The Nigerian military is warned to adopt democratic tenets in handling citizens. The EU will not sit by idly and watch things go undemocratic in the largest economy of the West African region”.

This is an excellent assesment of the situation and it provides a timely warning to the Buhari administration about their grave indiscretions and obvious excesses.

Yet instead of addressing the deep concerns that the EU, Amnesty International, the United Nations and many other notable players and organisations on the world stage have about what is going on in Nigeria, Mr. Lai Mohammed, President Buhari’s Minister of Information and a man who told us just a few years ago that it was wrong and unlawful to ban Boko Haram, had only the following to say:

“IPOB is a group sponsored by a coalition of political parties and looters who are bent on derailing the fight on corruption embarked upon by Buhari-APC led government.”

Such unadulterated poppycock and pernicious lies and such baseless allegations and nonsensensical assertions, even when they come from a man whose credibility is at best questionable, beggars belief.


Instead of attacking and insulting those of us that have condemned the slaughter of Igbos and alleging that we are sponsoring IPOB the Buhari government would do well to consider Jean Claude Junker’s words and what the European Union have said about the barbaric killing of the Igbo and the universal right of self-determination which is protected and guaranteed by international law.

Since when has it been acceptable or the norm to unleash the dogs of war against a group of innocent, unarmed and defenceless young people and their colourful leader simply because they dared to ask for a referendum?

The fact of the matter is that whether anyone likes it or not, the attempt to break, subjugate, demonise, belittle, villify and wipe out the Igbo race through the auspices of intimidation, disinformation, manipulation of the media, mass murder and ethnic cleansing by the Buhari administration shall fail.

The truth is that this whole thing is not about IPOB but about the consistent expression of an irrational, illogical and pathological hatred of the Igbos by the maximum ruler of the Nigerian state.

And if he gets away with it and manages to achieve his sinister and nefarious objective he will come after the Yoruba, the Ijaw, the Tiv and everyone else in a matter of time!


That is why it is important to refuse to be intimidated, to stand firm, to hold the line, to resist him with every fibre of our being and to insist on the restructuring and the renegotiation of Nigeria.

Fifty years after our brutal and genocidal civil war we have learnt nothing about the cataclysmic and devastating consequences and spiritual implications of slaughtering innocent people in the name of keeping Nigeria one.

Why do you think nothing works in our country and that our people are mostly unfulfilled, poor, miserable, afflicted and deprived? Why do you think there is so much suffering in our nation despite the fact that we have been blessed with so many human and mineral resources? It is God’s judgement.

Until we stop electing pyschopaths, sociopaths and cruel men of blood into office and until our leaders stop killing innocent people whose only “crime” is to express their desire to be free from slavery, bondage and tyranny and to be allowed to determine their own future nothing will or can change for the better in our beleagured country.

As long as the ethnic cleansing and mass murder continues and as long as our people cheer on our leaders as they commit these heinous crimes against humanity Nigeria will continue to be a basket case of a nation which is ruled by unrepentant and wicked tyrants, garrulous court jesters and certified village idiots.

If we continue to condone and refuse to desist from state sponsored repression and the mass murder of Igbos, northern Christians, Shiite Muslims, Niger Deltans or any other group of people who are seen by our collective oppressers as soft and easy targets our nation will continue to be perceived as an abominable and accursed dwarf that crawls around like a helpless, crippled and stunted child in the comity of nations.

Nigeria was once the hope of the black man but sadly in the last two years she has become an embarrasment and burden to Africa and a reference point for everything that is reprehensible and shameful in the world.


A nation where savage and insensitive beasts murder innocent men, women and children in the sanctity of their homes whilst the people cheer them on and embrace their murderous barbarity with joy and glad tidings.

A nation where political opponents can be locked up for years without any recourse to the courts and without any form of due process.

A nation where opposition members and dissidents are villified and subjected to every form of shame, malevolence and indignity simply because they refuse to bow before the maximum ruler and worship him as a living deity.

Can God’s prescence possibly be in such an arrangement and can God’s blessing possibly be in such a place?

Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN, one of the true crusaders for justice and human rights in Nigeria and a man of remarkable fortitude and immense courage captured the mood and painted an accurate picture of the situation when he said the following:

“The Fulani herdsmen who go on rampage daily, maiming, rapiing and killing and those responsible for the Agatu massacre, Shiites massacre, Southern Kaduna pogrom, indiscriminate killings, brazen quit notice givers across Nigeria, etc, have never been arrested, prosecuted, let alone been proscribed and stigmatised as terrorist organisations. We must surely have and operate two sets of laws for two sets of people in Nigeria”.


How true this is! Yet even if the majority within the Nigerian political class and media are not prepared or able to confront and expose this great evil and speak truth to power, the international media, who are thoroughly and understandebly mortified and shocked by what is unfolding in our country, are evidently ready to do so.

For example the Washington-based Newsweek International Magazine, in an excellent article written by Mr. Connor Gaffey just last week, focused on the fact that “many Biafran Christians” had been subjected to “extra-judicial killings” by a northern Muslim-controlled and led army.

They condemned the activities of the Nigerian military in the east in very strong terms, decried the dangerous situation that is unfolding in Nigeria and echoed President Olusegun Obasanjo’s laudable call for dialogue between the IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Buhari.

In their own contribution to the debate the respected New York-based Huffington Post published the following artice which was written by Mr. Bruce Feinn, a highly celebrated and distinguished human rights lawyer and a former Deputy Attorney General in the Reagan administration. He wrote:

“The United Nations will live in infamy for lending its megaphone on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, to Nigeria’s elected military dictator Muhammadu Buhari.

The Hausa-Fulani Muslim strongman is currently orchestrating genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention against Nigeria’s 50 million Igbo people because of their ethnicity and unwavering devotion to Christianity. Buhari’s genocide marks the culmination of a long train of Biafran subjugation by radical Hausa-Fulani Islamic terrorists. The dictator’s power is anchored to an illegitimate constitution decreed by a military dictator in 1999 to hold the Christian Biafran people in bondage to Hausa-Fulani Muslims. Nigeria’s constitution has never been approved by Nigerians.

Last June, Buhari tacitly endorsed a Hausa-Fulani threat to expel by force and violence and to plunder 11 million Igbos in twelve northern Nigerian states that have adopted Sharia as their legal codes if they did not abandon their Igbo homes and businesses by October 1, 2017. During the past few years in northern Nigeria, Hausa-Fulani terrorists have destroyed thousands of churches and religious schools and displaced millions of Christian Biafrans.

Hundreds of innocent civilians have died and more have been injured or terrorized by Nigeria’s military acting under Buhari’s direction in the last week alone. A courageous and influential Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has had his home attacked and quarantined by Nigeria’s armed forces and his followers killed. Grisly videos and photos taken at scenes of the harrowing crimes are conclusive. What they prove amounts to state terrorism—the systematic employment of violence to intimidate or coerce a civilian population.

[b]Instead of providing Buhari a megaphone, the United Nations should be expelling Nigeria from membership under Article 6 of the United Nations Charter. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should be referring the dictator and his henchmen like Army Chief of Staff Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, to investigate for complicity in genocide. The UNSC should also be imposing an arms embargo on Nigeria under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter until the right of the Biafran people to self-determination is secured through a free and fair referendum conducted by the United Nations Electoral Unit. At present, dictator Buhari is diverting arms purchased for ostensible use against Boko Haram, an international terrorist organization, to the terrorizing of Biafran Christians. Buhari has no interest in defeating Boko Haram because its threat triggers military and financial assistance from the United States in its global war on terrorism.[/b]

These sanctions against Nigeria would honor twin objectives of the United Nations: (1) “to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained;” and, (2) “promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to religion”.

The genocide of Biafrans is not a “domestic” matter within the exclusive jurisdiction of Nigeria. Genocide is a crime against all of mankind which concerns every country. Moreover, if dictator Buhari is permitted to kill and enslave Christian Biafrans with impunity, Nigeria could degenerate into a Hausa-Fulani Islamic theocracy and could become a state sponsor of terrorism. Nigeria’s example would embolden the persecution of Christians elsewhere.

Nigeria’s 190 million inhabitants make it the most populous nation in Africa. It is a model not only in West Africa but throughout the continent. It is too important for its fate to be left to the roll of the dice.

The international community planted the seeds of contemporary Nigerian and African strife by arbitrarily carving up the continent in favor of colonial powers at the1884-1885 Berlin Conference. The United Nations is saddled with a moral obligation to help remedy the dystopias spawned by many of its key members.

While the suffering and persecution of Burma’s Muslim Rohingya have captured headlines and the attention of the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, Nigeria’s far worse oppression of Biafrans has been largely ignored. It is difficult to resist the conclusion that the international human rights community squints when blacks kill blacks”.


He concluded by saying,

“Chad had its Hissene Habre, Libya had its Muammar Gaddafi and Nigerian President Buhari should learn from those examples before continuing his genocidal murders and torture of Biafrans. Justice will pursue Buhari as tenaciously as the Furies pursued Orestes. He would tremble if he reflected that God is just, and that His justice will not sleep forever”.

These are valid and legitimate observations and laudable assertions from a respected individual that has dedicated his entire life to the cause of protecting human rights and a medium that prides itself on the highest standard of literary excellence and investigative journalism.

Let us hope that President Muhammadu Buhari and his military commanders are listening!

PoliticsRe: Video Of Nnamdi Kanu's House After Army Invasion; His Dog Killed by isnovic(m):
These are not the real issues.

The current government are so power drunk that all issues are readily blamed on politically disgruntled elements and national treasury looters from the opposition party.

A political narrative fixated on my enemy: The opposition.


These are the fact:

1. The world and the US secrets service, has since gone ahead to recognise the Herdmen from the Fulani tribe as terrorist.
Ranked 4th Most dangerous.
The Nigerian Government rather than recognise the group as terrorist, passed a law to give then grazing right all over the country.
Guess who is the grand patron of this group: Your guess is as good as mine.

If within 5days, a weaponless group ( armed with pelting stones,machete); A disjointed group with following here and there can go from a group demanding peacefully, with little skirmishes here and there, for an independent country to becoming a terrorist proscribed by the Nigeria state.

Then the FG is hereby put on notice to within 24hrs declare the Fulani herdsmen a terrorist group and proscribe all their activities within Nigeria borders.

2. Like PMB, Kanu speeches are for his audience. If PMB is not held accountable for his incitement speech in 2011 that took so many lives, properties and caused a major fracture in the ethno-hetrogenous Nigeria then I do not see why the speech of NK should be paid any mind at all.
Except one is made by an Ex-Army General of blue blood and the other a 5% bloody civilian.


3. Kanu is presumed innocent of all charges until a competent court , declares him guilty.
One should not forget in a hurry, how the FG stand in breache of the bail/release orders of the court.
Did the IPOB members take matters into their hands, No!!!
they waited for the court.
Was PMB house under siege of his refusal to obey the court, No!!!


So why the Army?
oh!! I forgot.
It is in the nature of the latter to disobey all laws of the land and get away with it.
But cannot stand it if another does same?

4. If you do not have a moral compass, you will fall for every actions taken by a puritanical government like the APCs when they are guilty of the offences they claim Kanu has committed.
In the run of play for 2015 eletions, the amount of misinformation, slander, hate speech and in some cases flat out abuse and ridicule to the person of Goodluck Jonathan and his wife was so palpable that you will curse within yourself why Jonathan was such a gentle man. Even till today, he is called all sort of names by people who will not dare to mute same word about Buhari.


They went as far as threatened to form a parallel government if they do not win, enough reason to hound all of them and put them in the prison for treason and unlawful incitement to mass chaos and destruction.

But were they...No!!!



5. Have we forgotten how many lost their lives, I and my family were a victim in Niger State where i had to hide my family of 2 little girls and my wife, until the imbroglio occassioned by PMB statement of the monkeys and the baboons soaking in blood after he lost the 2011 elections passed.

Then I was a young engineer trying to make ends meet. All Southerners were targeted in the incitement and order to destroy. I lost my jallopy car to the hoodlums of Hausa and Fulani descent on the bridge head to Minna.


His following were not even held accountable neither was he.
Additionally, the Arewa group of recent past, who threatened genocides.
Created hate songs, 3 versions re-mixed and chanted all over the North.


Where are they now?

Why is the Army not laying siege on their homes, kill maim and destroy their families?

Sorry I forgot, they are bluebloods, and the rest of us are redblooded animals



See if you do not stand for anything, you will fall for everything.

Kanu has his audience and following as Buhari has his.
Both are fanatical about their leader.

Just like it is said, if you are not a fan of either change your channel. it is that simple


His rhetoric are mostly speeches at that, and no more. So why the high handedness.


My fear is a generation of young Nigerians with no moral boundaries.

A generation swayed by what is written rather than thinking for themselves.
A generation who thinking that force via the army guarantees the solution to civil issues
A generation without a standard becoming of a good leader due to the series of bad leaders festered on them.


Nigeria leaders should model their example in the founding fathers of Malaysia, Singapore and UAE.

If he is a good student of these founding fathers, he will immediate remove himself from such trivialities and build a Nigerian society we all have a stake in and can die for.
He should rid his heart of hate and vengeance. As at his age, he should know that neither is healthy for his soul's destination.
He should see himself first as a Nigerian before a Fulani.
He should see his position as a means for the betterment of the greater good and not to serve some primordial and parochial few of tribe.

The thinking by the military command is:
Strike and eliminate the head and stop the IPOB/Biafra struggle is so clear by the evidence ongoing in both print and e-media.

If planned last year, with current situation at hand why not push forward for strategic reason?

Someone should tell the clueless Nigerian Military that their damage control is useless.

It is known world over that IPOB have been a non-violent group since inception

Its widely known that IPOB has yet to kill any human since inception despite the latest provocation

Its stupidity for the Nigerian army to reference activities post invasion of a hitherto peaceful region as acts of violence

Can the Nigerian clearly outline their reason for rolling tanks into peaceful neighborhoods that have not recorded violence in decades?

We know who the violent ones are who have massacred humans from the middle belt down to the delta in the name of Fulani herdsmen. this government is yet to name these group of killers as terrorist but quick to name a group that has never hurt anyone as a terrorist group. We know who the subtle sponsors of bokoharam are as well.

All globally renowned security outfits consider Fulani herdsmen as the 4th most dangerous terrorist group in the world of which the Nigerian president is a grand patron. Its no news that the FG have refused to acknowledge their highly placed terrorist status but quick to name a globally renowned nonviolent movement as a terrorist group.

We might not retaliate but we are no fools and we wont forget and we will make sure our children do not forget as well.

[Quote]


My dear did I hear you call me Miscreant?

You have no idea!!!!

Did you say incessant burning of Dangote's truck!!! what is your data based on? and in what situation was your data based on, normalcy or riot?

Ifeanyi Uba's case buttress my points earlier, an investment is cited closest to factors of production, plus infrastructure for production/distribution.

Where is the sea route in Nigeria currently, Lagos.

Where is the coal deposit and where can the purest coal be mined currently in Nigeria and where else today do you have any existing coal mining infrastructure? Enugu.

It is that simple. Forget your rationalization and line of best fit data narrative.

Dangote's distribution and haulage truck ply the Eastern network daily and nothing happens to them.

An isolated case is not a measure for reference. I maintain, the current situation is collateral damage and his company was just unfortunate.

If he is a smart business man as you claimed, he remains unlabored. Why?

That truck is already insured and situations like this is already provided for.

Why crying more than the bereaved?
Why tag the burning of the truck to Igbo hatred for Dangote and other investor and inferring that this attitude contributes to the lack/abundance of investment in the Eastern region.

Till date there is no unhealthy investment climate, neither is there any insecurities in the East so your conclusion is based on faulty assumptions.

The East has been deliberately sidelined in investment and infrastructural development and in some cases as a deliberate policy of starving it. Try suggesting that the Capital of Nigeria be taken to Enugu or Anambra and see what follows then.

The very thought will drive the North to near madness. The South West will cope but will complain about it giving philosophical explanation why it is not the best decision. But the North will call for secession immediately or rain fire and brimstone until all is burnt to the ground.

Even the very thought of it will be offensive and revolting to those accustomed to seeing instrument of power in their region.
.

Do not be gullible, from someone who has worked in the Government and as an Expat working outside the country currently, not all the things you see are explained in " how to be a Nigerian " manual neither are all things written in black and white.


You must discern the unwritten intent and letters to understand what is really going on.


I guess you also support the siege in Kanu's residence, and the intentional shelling of his home and if injured or killed, tie it to accidental discharge right?

His fault?, His views are not exactly in tandem with the Government's and so he needs to be eliminated.

Even if my views are not the same as yours, the world is large enough for different views. You defeat flawed idealogy by sound, intelligent argument which is thoroughly lacking in the present government.


See like science, every action inherently produces sometimes equal and not so equal, opposite reaction and like chain reaction anyone of these actions set off in one place can reverberate far from the source of the action.

So because Dangote's trucks are involved in accidents, is that your wise justification of why random Dangote trucks should be set ablaze by ipob hoodlums at the slightest unconnected provocation?... Go back and read what you just wrote, does it make any sense to you?

Was it because of an accident that the Dangote trucks burnt in Onitsha and the one burnt yesterday were burnt?...

And who told you the SE does not need investments? Is this some sort if resentment for Dangote due to his success or due to his tribe?.... What sort of childish reasoning is that?
Is it only in the SE that Dangote's truck has been burnt.

The truck is only collateral damage and nothing more.

Same fate other have suffered why the singular reference.

Dangote knows why he is not investing in the SE and the SE don't need sympathetic investor.

Dangote imports coal from SA, but the coal in his backyard, Enugu is comparatively of similar quality as the SA.

Ask yourself why an investor would rather spend the millions in import and transportation rather than develop the one at home as backward integration to his Cement manufacturing companies.

The bias is a silent agreement, but the Igbos are strong and do not seek sympathetic investors.

The Nigerian Army and Government has played into the Biafra strategy.

Am afraid as this not-too-well-thought-out action/plans is amassing tons of evidences against the FG.

Even media and print media evidences are being documented and their cases are being built up.


They have also evidenced the cry of foul, of marginalization by the Eastern Nigerians to be true.

It is funny that the same highhandedness was not extended to the Northern Hate group that issued a "fatwa" for ethno-cleansing of the Easterners.

Why all this double standards.

The Igbos will be glad if harms come to Kanu, as full civil disobedience and chaos will be unleashed.

The plan to institute a marshal state in the East will not work.

As plans may be aloft to ensure voting is not done in the SS and SE to provide a smooth sailing for a Northern Presidency come 2019.

The last time IPOb had a crisis in Onitsha, some hoodlums went ahead to set 4 Dangote trailers on fire. Now again, some idiots have gone ahead to set Dangote trailers on fire unprovoked. And we begin to wonder why Dangote is skeptical about placing any of his serious investment in the SE? undecided

While I would have simply dismissed this as an act by daft illiterate hoodlums, reading through this thread reveals that even some educated persons approve of the destruction of Dangote's properties as a sensible way to protest against government. God help us!
The several deaths the ill-safety conscious Dangote trucks have caused is enough to have sanctioned the company for their poor safety records.

On a daily basis, we read of multiple deaths and accidents these trucks have on the roads and in the South-West in particular, but no inquisition, industrial safety investigation or sanctions have been raised against Dangote.

Why? He supplies the South West and other regions millions of investment but kill and maim daily helpless Nigerians from these regions.


If for only these reasons, the SE do not need such investment.

Though we fall daily,
Though the soldiering numbers wane at the battle ground,
Though the injured continues to pour in,
Though the barbaric Carthage rages on, non-stop.

Though the Hoards of murdering hades from the North linger on our street.
Though the East lay in siege and the South-West in awe, nay of fear
Though her streets, markets, homes bleeds and flow with the blood of the innocent.
Though the maddening noise to stop rent the ears and media-both social and non-social alike.


Howbeit though, He steels his nerves, deafen his ears, hardens his heart
Though convinced his action is pretentious, sacrilegious and biased
The more he screams death! death!! death!!! to the East.
The macabre dance of death is cheered on by blood thirsty audience whose roots are in Rome.


A dance,
nay a ritual dipped in the macabre blood of the innocent forged in operation python dance.
A reminder of treacherous past, of bloodletting and the most heinous war contrived.
Spartans, Nay Northern gladiators converged in thoughts and brutality.



All Hail, the conquerors of the East.
For you have sowed the blood moons and may you reap a thousand more deaths.
The pardoner of the Northern marauders
May you reap the indignation of Edom and the kiss of death for appreciation.

If the Nigerian army really wants to act and show its strength, all of this won't deterred them. And nothing will the UN do, Nigerian government already has video evidences of Kanu calling for arms and instigating war and genocide against other tribes.
The other thing that will happen is for Federal government to call for state of emergency then it will become red for una, you will be sleeping and waking up with the military.
Nothing the UN will do?
Your Buhari and Buratai will not smell the air of freedom talkless of see sunlight.

Keep spurring them on as they continue this show of cowardice.

It is really a sad commentary on Buhari government, that Soldiers are now used to protect a certain ethnic just because he has constitute the military as a nuisance in the East.

I do hope he provides the same cover for all easterners when the time comes as we are watching how state resources and paid public officers are being used for parochial ethnic sentiments.

....Yes I have my limitations like I said, there are certain things I wouldn’t do because of where I come from and the religion I stand for. If I show that I am ignorant of things, I have family and I know what the people in the north are capable of, that’s why I am being careful.

This right here tells you the inherent danger that lies in Nigeria near fanatic religious North.
