mrvitalis:
So u telling us that 6 years into your rule u can't solve the issue ?

APC talk as if the military handed PDP a perfect Nigeria

We are talking about Nigeria with huge debt , low revenues , corruption ...but PDP never complained of that once


If u failed to fix the problem why not step aside

may our ancestors bless you more for this truth

Can't such a think happen in Aso rock?

And you can't tell us how much you bought it ehhhh? Make I do sha go collect the share wey I invested in ShopRite before it's too late

Some body should pls help me check the economy activities going on this Badagry road and Daura to Niger Republic road, I just want to check something

this table you are shaking this morning ehhhhh if the leg finally break I will leave you and runaway

Amotolongbo:
If losing by a lone goal is the slimmest margin, what about losing out on the sudden death of a penalty shootout?

lolxxxxx hahahaha I swear guy u Wicked sha. See as u counter him

Amotolongbo:
Has Guardiola won the champions league without Xavi and Iniesta?

Just asking cos someone said on Twitter that Guardiola without Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, even with over £2billion is just an upgraded Mikael Arteta.

lolxxxxx hahahaha guy why u no add wickedness join ur name na. U say na upgraded Mikael who?

DesignAndBuild:
Insult? At who? First like ogbiwa has said above this is not a comparison of Messi and Kante as both players are not like for like, and then even secondly, Kante has won the world cup, Europa and Champions League in addition to his local league and played a central role in each of them, Messi has won the Champions league and his local league, so you may want to think again before knowing who you think is insulting who. Finally Kante and Chelsea outplayed Mancity yesterday so they're fully deserving champions. And this is from a non Chelsea fan

may our ancestors bless you for this truth bro

Amotolongbo:
Against tougher team, I will prefer Kante.

Against weaker team, I will prefer Messi.

Moreover, Kante doesn’t need Xavi and Iniesta to win the Champions league

lolxxxxx hahahaha I swear dis gal, u Wicked fa. For weaker team u will prefer mesi?

DesignAndBuild:
Can't I have them both?

Anyways I don't know about Messi cos he's on another level but I'll rather trade 5 Neymars for just one Kante. My what a player! And this is from a non Chelsea fan. I couldn't keep count of how many times he won possession back in a dangerous area or made a well timed tackle or critical interception. The mancity players were scared of him because of the way he appears from nowhere to steal possession. And then he was still running all over the pitch tirelessly even in the 97th minute. And all with a smile. No angry reaction even when he's tackled or decision goes against him. He just gets up and runs back into position. I think he's the BEST team player any team in the world can ask for. Kante for Ballon d'or pls. A player like him deserves to win one before retiring he has tried.

lolxxxxx hahahaha I swear guy u dey mad ooooo see as u made me nearly wan craze here while laughing when u said mancity plays where scared of him because he appears from nowhere. Mennnnn I don die here lolxxxxx hahahaha

LegendHero:
Many things led to the civil war Chief Osoba, do you want to say you don’t know history or you’re just trying to be politically correct?

Often many people believed the killing of Saraduana and Balewa are what led to the North uprising against the Ibos in the North but this is half truth. The Unitary decree of Aguiyi Ironsi caused as much harm as the coup. Infact, it was what led to the initial killing of Ibos in the North, and gave the fertile ground for the counter-coup.

I will give timelines of events below, if anyone need proof of any of the point I raise I will provide it.

Besides the killings of other tribesleader by the majorly coupist of Jan 1966 which everyone knows, the below are some other side of the story.

Decree of 1966:
--May 1966, Ironsi announced that the regions are dissolved and there will be unification of the Public Service.
-- Note: The Ibos have the highest number of civil service candidates then and they are more itinerant than other group, which implies that decree will favor them.
--That decree was popular in the East and the Northerners received it as a blow on them and an act of marginalization against them because they have low number of civil servant. Remember Saraduana video that was trendy then.
--To crown the fears of the Northerers, General Ironsi announced the unification decree while the constitutional report group he set up under the chairmanship of Chief Rotimi Williams haven't concluded their report yet. So he acted on this own.

Riots due to the Decree:
--May 28,1966, A massive demonstration of about 20,000 people held against Ironsi decree in Kano which was organized to present a petition by the military authorities through the Emir of Kano. Slogans used were "Pure Federalism or We Bust", "We denounce abuse of power", We Separate Clearly". Infact that was when the North preached secession. 7 people were reportedly killed that day

Kano, Kaduna, and mining centers of Jos and Bukuru again protested with violence with placards saying "Let there be seccession". Infact over 92 people were killed in that weekend demonstration. They burnt Southerners quarter, houses and over-turned cars. Ironsi replied to the protest by saying he will declare certain area military areas, replace civil court with military court, and death penalty to anyone causing destruction in the North. He also accused the Arab world of being behind the protesters coz they are friends to Saraduana.

In June 1966, The government declared Dusk to Dawn curfew and these riots and killing still continued with rumors in the North that the Ibos will counter-attack. I don't know if Chief Osoba is referring to this.

--Over 100 emirs and Chiefs in the North gave an ultimatum to the Ironsi government to reject the decree. The resolution was presented by the 65-year old Sultan of Sokoto then who is also the uncle of Saraduana where they demanded Nigeria should stay Federal, and old boundaries should remain as before.

--The progom continues with several Ibos being killed across the North. The North sensed domination of the Ibos because the constitutional study group haven't submitted their report yet but Ironsi still abolished the system. Then the sentiment is that Ironis is running a Ibo regime just like people are talking about Fulani regime now. Gombe, Katsina, Bauchi also joined in the attacks mainly against the Ibos.

Counter Coup:
--July 1966, the mutineers arrested Ironsi and later killed him which set the ball rolling for more violent attacks here and there. Brigadier Ogundipe who is the Chief of Staff to Ironsi made a broadcast saying the military is still in control with but what happened in few days after showed that the mutineers want none of Ironsi regime and are all out for revenge. Cut story short, Gowon took power.

--Aug 1966, Gowon took power as a Northerner, first it is decisive, he is a Christian and he is from the minority so he is seen as a great asset not only in Uniting the North as a common force but also to appear to the South as being relatively acceptable. Then he ordered the release of Awolowo, Enahoro and other political prisoners which was a masterstroke, now you have the buy-in of some Awo symphatizers who are by far the vast majority of the Yorubas and some of the Edo areas.

All these contributed to other riots, killings, thousand Ibos killed in the North, Ibos retaliated in Port Hacourt killing 25 Hausas, plane evacuating Ibos, and eventually the civil war as the ending game.

wow!!!. May our ancestors bless you for this information

NwaAmaikpe:




Point of correction Mr Osoba, do not try to rewrite history.

Fake news did not trigger the 1967 civil war because the pogroms were already ongoing in the North before the war.
The civil war was triggered by the Hausa-Fulani leaders' decision to jettison a perfect resolution to the volatility that was agreed upon at Aburi, Ghana.

Sadly, this breach of agreement was encouraged by the Yoruba elites like Awolowo, Mobolaji Johnson and Adebayo who never considered that the accord was to their favour as well.
Today Sanwo-Olu is fighting for a special state status for Lagos State. Would he have to do that if his kinsmen didn't sabotage the struggle for a federated nation of sovereign areas?

The civil war could have been prevented if only Yakubu Gowon kept to his side of the bargain.

Just like as in January 4th of 1967, the escalations going on right now can only be defused by regionalizing the nation and abolishing the 1999 Constitution to create one that won't encourage the impoverishment of him who should be rich to enrich him that should be poor.

It is not fair that it is okay for someone from Kebbi who scored 110 in JAMB gets admitted on merit for Medicine in a prestigious university while another from Anambra who scores 360 can't get into the same school for the same course.

It is also not fair that it is okay to see a Fulani man clutching daggers and machete while a Yoruba man who holds a pen-knife is arrested for being in possession of dangerous weapons.

Is it fair that the proceeds of Crude oil gotten from the Niger Delta region are spent in the North while the proceeds of Gold mining only belong to Zamfara?

Is it fair that Kano State should benefit from proceeds of alcohol sale through the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) despite sabotaging the profitability of Alcoholic Breweries and threatening their existence by destroying alcoholic drinks?

To think it is okay for Bagudu to get some of Sani Abacha's recovered loot but the Federal Government has the exclusive right of that of James Ibori and not even Delta State whose funds it is in the first instance.

If different laws apply for different people, then it is only fair to split the country so as not to make anyone feel disenfranchised.

This is common sense but my suggestions can't be taken seriously since my only forte is in masturbationn.

The Origin Of the Name “BIAFRA” and why South-South and South-East Must
Unite.
"Written By Russell Bluejack"
I write as an Ijaw son from Bonny and Nkoro in Rivers State. Ijaw is my tribe, but
Biafra remains my national consciousness. I have noticed an inexplicable and
unnecessary division in the South-East and South-South in analogy to the
reinvigorated quest to restore the Sovereign States of Biafra.
I think our people in these sister regions should reflect on these political and
divisive ascriptions and rediscover themselves.
We are neither South-South nor South-East. We are the people of the Eastern
Region, a people politically and economically impugned by our enemy in their bid
to break our solid SOLIDARITY. We were too formidable for our enemies.
Some of our people think Biafra is an Igbo thing because they are ignorant of the
origin of the name. Let me do justice to the origin of Biafra.
THE ORIGIN OF BIAFRA
Biafra is not aboriginal to Biafrans, since it was birthed out of the need to work
together and escape the pogromists, rapists, land invaders, and religious
fundamentalists called Fulani.
The leader of the Eastern Region, Dim Ojukwu, an educated military officer,
assembled stakeholders from Ijaw, Obibio, Efik, and other tribes that constituted
the region in his bid to come up with a name that would reflect the
heterogeneous ambience of the region.
Chief Frank Opigo, an Ijaw traditional ruler that hails from today’s Bayelsa,
suggested BIAFRA, and this went down well with everyone in attendance, for it
referred to the water body that covers the entire region. What Ojukwu sought
after was a name that would not be exclusionary to any of the tribes (Ijaw, Ibibio,
Itsekiri, Urhobo, Annioma etc) in the region. Biafra became the baby of that quest.
Biafra, having come from a non-Igbo stakeholder, became the national
consciousness of both the Igbo and non-Igbo constituents of the Eastern Region.
Thenceforth, the need to actualise the nation of their dreams, the Land of the
Rising Sun, became the aspiration of every easterner.
The failure of Nigeria to heed the Aburi Accord reached in Ghana for restructuring
stoked the fire of the agitation for freedom. The Sovereign States of Biafra was
declared, but it was short-lived because of avoidable internal wranglings that
spiralled into the loss of the Civil War.
The incongruity in the Eastern Region was the result of the feud between Ojukwu
and Dr. Kenule Benson Saro-Wiwa, an illustrious Ogoni son and Ojukwu’s military
mentality and disposition.
WHY THE STRUGGLE FAILED IN THE 60s.
Popular perception has it that the struggle for emancipation from perceived and
obvious oppression by Nigeria was scuttled by the Civil War. That is part of the
truth, not the whole. Biafra was rocked by internal wranglings.
Two prominent figures in the region, Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa, became estranged
friends over an issue that should have remained personal. In one of our serious
meetings, I was made to understand this side of the story. Legborsi, Emmanuel, a
very prominent Ogoni son who doubles as a formidable member of my team,
THE SOUTH-EAST/SOUTH-SOUTH COALITION FOR BIAFRA,
opened up the Pandora Box concerning the real cause of their feud.
Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa were caught in a love triangle, with Princess Amina, the
daughter of the then Sultan as the magnetic force. As scions (sons of very
wealthy parents), they had the needed charisma to steer the imagination of the
Sultan. Gowon, a senior military officer, joined the fray, but found himself as an
underdog, financially and academically, for the duo of Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa
were of both fabulous financial and transformative academic standing.
Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa, once friends, now rivals, had to slug it out. The laurel at
stake was Amina’s affection. Saro-Wiwa, dishonestly struck a cord in Amina’s
emotion and carried the day.
The Sultan, according to the veracious story, could not find his daughter and had
the innocent Gowon, the suitor he abhorred, to blame for it. A triangle of hate
became the result of this misdeed by Saro-Wiwa: Gowon hated both Ojukwu and
Saro-Wiwa; Ojukwu hated Saro-Wiwa for edging him out in the most dishonest
manner; and Saro-Wiwa burned in annoyance over the contest.
An Ikwerre elder, nonagenarian, corroborated this story when I met him. He told
me that the struggle hit the rock then because of two reasons:
(1) the feud between Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa
(2) the militarised mentality of Ojukwu’s.
The elder thinks that if Ojukwu, though well educated and exposed, were a
civilian, he would have appreciated the need to dialogue with other stakeholders
before going to war.
If the stakeholders had been told what each constituent would benefit from the
emerging nation, the leaders would have had what to say to their people to excite
them to take the struggle seriously. Ojukwu, on the other hand, wanted these
stakeholders to convince their people to fight first and discuss later.
This did not go down well with them. Some, however, saw the need to fight. The
festering relationship between Ojukwu and Saro-Wiwa led to a huge sabotage.
The bottom line of the accounts of Legborsi and the elder is that our people were
not united. Our disunity caused by personal grouse and lack of tact cost us that
war. It is incontrovertible that we would have won the war had our house not
been in disarray.
THE URGENT NEED FOR OUR UNITY NOW
Several years have gone by, yet the socio-economic and political inconcinnities
that gave rise to the agitation then still stare us in the face. As a matter of fact,
there is no gainsaying that if our fathers had reasons to fight then, there are more
reasons to fight now.
The situation today is worse than it was then. Oppression, socio-economic
exclusion, and glaring prejudice meted out to the South-South and South-East, the
real economic mainstay of this contraption called Nigeria, have reached
unbelievable and unimaginable proportions.
Even Ojukwu could not have conceived the precarious level of hate shown to us
by the sons and daughters of Uthman Dan Fodio. The unfair treatment we are
shown should make our unity imperative. Our personality issues and lack of tact
gave them the happenstance to divide us and make us conquerable. We, the
South-East and South-South people, are the victims of their jihadist rituals. Our
women get raped, our lands invaded, our crops killed, and our men butchered.
The Igbo, Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Annioma, Ibibio, Efik etc have always lived
together in love and conviviality. A critical observation of our values and culture
reveals our common ancestry. We dress alike, eat alike, behave alike, and worship
alike. How different are we, brothers and sisters? Let us come together and fight
this monster.
They have sent their soldiers to occupy our two regions out of fear of our
imminent reunion. Exasperated by their inability to stop us from uniting, they have
taken to poisoning our children under the pretense of immunization devoid of the
viva of the health departments. In their bid to hold on to power at all cost, they
flouted the constitutional proviso concerning absence of the President.
Their hatred for us led to the embargo placed on our Igbo brothers and sisters,
which makes it difficult for any of them to become President of Nigeria. We and
our Igbo brothers and sisters are the real victims here. We have to come
together, sit together, discuss together, reach documented agreement, and escape
together.
Our unity is the only leeway out of this fortress called Nigeria. Is it not shameful
that whereas we have all the resources the Gambari are the ones exercising
power over them all? Our Igbo brothers and sisters own both oil and the business
environment that sustain this oppressive dungeon called Nigeria, but travel to the
East and you will weep. They killed the Bill seeking the relocation of company
headquarters to regions where the raw material is fetched. They killed the Bill
seeking compensation to develop the Eastern Region. Whatever comes from the
South-East and South-South dies on arrival.
If bills that seek better welfare packages for our regions always die, who is that
mad person that is telling you that we can restructure this dangerous citadel that
they claim belongs to them? Was it not the failure of Nigeria to heed restructuring
agreement that sparked off the Civil War? The only way out of this quagmire is
the unity of South-East and South-South. Let us unite and live in peace and
harmony. Our sister regions need respite from rape, massacre, genocide, pogrom,
alienation, discrimination, and prejudice.
Let us keep our unreal differences aside and face the enemy together. They will
continue to defeat us as long as we remain divided. Our division is their strength,
but our unity is their weakness. Jasper Adaka Boro, Dr. Ken Saro-Wiwa, and Sen.
(Dr.) Obi Wali are some of the great men this fake nation has killed gruesomely.
We have not found Mazi Nnamdi Kanu even as I write. Do you see how they hate
us? The python that danced in the East has become a crocodile smiling in the
South-South.
Brothers and sisters, Saro-Wiwa was guillotined by Nigeria after a kangaroo
judgment. Boro was used and shot. Obi Wali was butchered like a condemned
chicken. Our beloved leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is nowhere to be found
because of his liberating activities. Nigeria is a place where it is a heinous crime
to speak up against oppression and neo-slavery.
Nigeria has become too dangerous for Christians. Nigeria has become too stuffy
for anything that breathes. We have to go, brothers and sisters. We have
overstayed in this prison.
We do not even know who signed the 1914 amalgamation, since all our
nationalists were either adolescents, toddlers, or unborn at the time. Nigeria is the
property of Britain’s under the management of the Fulani. Let the South-South
and South-East come together and rebirth Biafra. They hate us and we hate
ourselves.
Let love and understanding lead the way this time. Let us dialogue and end our
differences once and for all. The enemy has become vicious. We should become
more tactical now. May God bless us all as we heed this clarion call. May God
bless the entire constituents of the Old Eastern Region.
