This was Ngige's response when asked about the Biafra struggle by a journalist:

Biafra? What Do You Mean By Biafra? Senator Chris Ngige Asks Journalist. Nigeria’s minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has finally opened up on the protests by the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) for a sovereign state.

The former governor of Anambra state, who spoke with us in Alor, venue of his late father’s funeral ceremony, insisted that there is nothing like Biafra. According to him, the protesters are only a group of discontented people, a situation which is not peculiar to the eastern part of the country where they are domiciled.

When asked what he thinks about the incessant protests by the pro-Biafrans, he noted with a lot of assurance, that the protesters are to the east, what Boko Haram is to the northern part of the country and the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) in the southwestern part of the country. He said, therefore, that there is really no need for Nigerians to panic about their presence or activities as they would be handled the same way others were dealt with by the federal government. “Biafra? What do you mean by Biafra?” he retorted rhetorically when asked about the struggle by the protesters. “There is no struggle anywhere. There is even no agitation. It is just discontent.” “In Yoruba land, they say they are OPC, Oodua Peoples Congress; in the Niger Delta, they say they are militants; in the northern part of Nigeria, especially the northwest and northeast, they say they are Boko Haram. They are against western education. They say that it is from western education that they learn how to steal money. “So, it is discontent.

Were you the one who interviewed Chris Ngige? If you weren't then why did you use your blog as the source? This is outright plagiarism.

Kindly provide a reputable source if you know you weren't the one who conducted the interview.

Thanks.

God bless you! I always maintain that we are in politics for the good of our people within Nigeria. After election is concluded, sensible people will drop any political disagreement to advocate for their group's growth and progress(through partnerships and constructive criticisms). I think Fayose though a ***(lips sealed) should be commended for his loyalty to his race. I saw how he advocated for Fayemi's clearance and stuff.

The embolden reeks of ethnic sentiment and you know it. So your peoples growth comes first? Ahead of the growth of every Nigerian? And you call yourself a nationalist and wanting what's best for Nigeria? Tsssk

OP where is your source? Provide one and stop diverting our attention with your bull sms whatever...

Why many would want to applaud this, I'll just say 'okay' I want to see all those who made mockery of our military behind bars!!!.

Cc bitterleafsoup, you wanted to know how much has been recovered right?.

Available.

Bitterleafsoup:
Me a bigot or tribalistic mba! Just a realists.
Go to slide share and type in Nigerian Ministries they posted all the details in power point presentations.
FMINigeria in slideshare go through all the proof. Don't be hard on yourself for not knowing. GEJ did not promote it he thought Nigerians would recognize.

This is just two years in office

Recognized what? His incompetence and blatant support for corruption and ineptitude? Come one.

The link you is just what the Jonathan government is good at doing, spreading lies thereby deceiving the foolish multitude. I was hoping and believing you will provide proof of what Jonathan achieved, not something thrown at our faces for all to swallow hook, line and sinker.

Bitterleafsoup:
Yes of course.

Airports moderinized and built
Hospitals built

Abstracts and rhetoric! Nothing more, nothing less. Please name Jonathan's achievement one by one, because even I too can indulge you with abstract and rhetoric. Lol.

Bitterleafsoup:
My friend go and sit down and list the progress of APC. Did you experience fuel shortage with GEJ?

Yes oh. Were you not in Nigeria when during the waning days of GEJ petrol became gold, and it sold for 300 to 400 Naira per litre? Now how can you miss that

You waste your time poking holes in this government when you couldn't even do the same with the last government, but came up with frivolous excuses. Come on dear, in as much as I like you, I don't want to see you as an avid tribalist and someone who is bitter.

Bitterleafsoup:
Reports probes reports probe invitation probe...
Rubbish not one solid conviction, how much has been collected thus far? From who? Wettin they do with it?

APC the ejectulators jacking Nigerians since 2013.

Calm down my dear, just calm down eh, just like to complained and whined when their was fuel shortage, that's what you're doing now. So I tell you, is fuel still scarce? Even you have changed your profile picture from that nonsense to this one that makes sense.

So calm down, when the convictions start coming, I bet you'll change your tone again, just like you changed after the fuel issue was resolved.

Bitterleafsoup:
What has this government done in 9 months. You people said give them one year, guess what we are there. Next you will say give them 2 4 another 4. Look at Anambra State Governor that is what is called hit the ground running. Mediocrity is not good goverance, real plans and projects on the ground is what we want. Promises given us we have not forgotten even if you have!

We didn't hear you complain for six years when your man Jonathan was in Aso Rock, why now are you hell bent on complaining and demanding progress?

Bitterleafsoup:
Go ahead admitt it you have nothing to show as progress. I know its painful to break the broom spell, but your eye go clear by rainey season.

Can you boast of something the PDP government under Jonathan achieved?

Laveda:
We've gone past that stage?

Oh really. Then send me a message via the 'unusual' way... LOL.

Laveda:
Yes

Send me a pm, and I'll sing like a bird. LOL.

JigsawKillah:
The institutions the NUC discredit on yearly basis, if they were up to standard, would they have been discredited?

Which institution is that la? How can an institution be discredited and still be in operation, to the point that it gets discredited on a yearly basis?

TonyeBarcanista:
He has failed to realise that politics is local anywhere.

Can you tell me the number of student the school of oceanography located in V.I, currently has?

JigsawKillah:
Why is Amaechi getting supporters though? I'm sure most of his supporters are Tribalists. What's wrong with The Petroleum Training Institute? Who's laying claim to it? Was it not due to the marginalization that they indigenes of Effurun staged a protest? What's wrong with Warri? And what does Amaechi mean by who'll attend it? Are there not worse universities in Nigeria?

Can you name one please?

Laveda:
A post you talked about married men not going direct to their houses but would rather prefer hanging around in beer parlours...

The Val's issue and a thread created by a romancelander..

Hmm. You want to know the romancelander I was talking about?

Good. Keep up the good work.

modath:
The people I'm talking about left his firm long long ago, like 6 or even 7yrs sef, for bigger & better things, one of them even was saying on sunday that he
thought Karma exists, same part of the country person...

Then he wasn't even Publicity Secretary, he was South East Dep Chairman... He loves to throw his weight around & enjoys the "Do you know who i am" self aggrandizing speech.....

That's the usual statement of the self sufficing, arrogant bastards who make it their habit to owe people salary and boast about it.

Honestly, should Metuh be found guilty and he's not given life in prison, PMB's anti corruption crusade is nothing but a hoax.

Laveda:
Something different wouldn't be bad, or, what do you think?

Waiting to read from your next update
Gone through it already, there's even something to show for it

LOL. I was hoping it will bore you to death, apparently, it didn't.

So which post caught your attention? Lol.

Laveda:
You have a diary?
Lemme go read
I think all the awards I've witnessed here wasn't biased..my thoughts sha...

Yes ..

Don't bother to read it, its not the usual one sided juvenile stuff you share. Lol.

But knock yourself out. Lemme even check it, been thinking of updating it recently...

modath:
Where are his supporters? ??



Joseph1832 ... He not only doesn't pay his staff on time, he is rude & abrasi

Hmm. Now why am I not surprise about this. Giving a girl $2 million dollars to invest for him and owing his workers salary.

Honestly, I won't be surprise if that girl is holding the table for him. Its the same with Dopkesi. Collected billions and not only could he not meet his bail condition, he's even owing his workers salary.

Na wa oh!.

midolian:
I doubt if he'z got a brain..And if he z got, I doubt if he uses it..

Well who knows if he has indomie for brains like Doyin Okupe.

But honestly, PMB should start probing all these private businesses who make it their point of order to owe workers salary, just because they know and believe they will get away with it. The last time I checked, its still FRAUD!.

Laveda:
It seems you're lost on Nairaland..
The award thingy is done yearly..before the main award thread is created, there's always a nomination thread in which all members of that particular section are allowed to vote. Which means such award is accepted in that section.

Em madam, I also have a Diary remember. An award where friends and family nominate each other can't be said to be fair is it

Anyway, enjoy yah sef! Life too short. Hope you dey read your book sha?

Laveda:
The awards I congratulated were worth it...
One person didn't just wake up, create a thread and start dishing out awards..it was well recognized In each section ...

LOL. And who gave the organizers the power to organize it? And how did you know it was well organize? What were the criteria used for selecting winners? Etc.

Honestly, I just can't begin to reason why Metuh was busy throwing stones at the person of PMB when he knows fully well that he has skeletons in his cupboards.

Please and please, I will also like to enjoin the EFCC and other relevant bodies to please investigate Metuh whether he actually pay his workers their salary, because I won't be surprise if he is owing his workers 6-8 months salary without the hope of paying.

I mean, judging from the way he's been shooting his mouth, and flaring his arrogance, he seem the type because he has the over inflated ego that usually scream "nothing dey happen".

Thank God say him don know say something dey happen!!!

Laveda:
Well I wasn't insinuating one person needs to decide it...
All I'm saying is there's no point coming out to create a thread giving out irrelevant awards too....
Most active user? What for ?

Well like I said earlier, you should have said all this when the Diary section award and the rest were being given, because what's the point, just like you said.

If you can poke holes in this award, I see no reason why you didn't when you were winning awards but instead, you was busy congratulation every tom, dick and harry who won.

So Burna Boy, Flavour, Patoranking sing pop music I bet if Michael Jackson was told this in his grave he will burst out laughing out loud and hard!. Lol.

Laveda:
Well, the award isn't necessary..

I see. So who decide which award is necessary and which one isn't?

Laveda:
Shey you've come oh

I'm of the opinion I didn't leave before. Lol.
