Yoruba bigot, you didn't complete the story...

Didn't you remember how Adaka Boro ended his life after helping the Yoruba braggart, Benjamin Adekunle a.k.a the Black Scorpion, to kill Biafrans in the war?

Benjamin Adekunle eventually had to kill Isaac Adaka Boro just to claim his exploits for himself. Imagine backstabbing and killing someone who helped you in fighting to penetrate Biafra, just for your selfish end!

Trust the Yoruba man/woman at your peril.

Without doubts your Benjamin Adekunle is a coward like the rest ass-lickers. Adekunle's exploit was mainly in shooting defenceless Biafran civilians.

During that 1967-70 civil war, Benjamin Adekunle  mocked the pope, Red Cross, Caritas, world council of churches, UN etc, and boasted of his killing spree on the Igbo civilians.

And how did his life end on earth?

He died a miserable contractor, he was literary begging for contracts just to feed.
This is a man that ranked higher than IBB, Danjuma, Obasanjo in his hay days in the military. 

The Hausa-Fulanis used him to prosecute the unholy war on Igbos, and they dumped him after mission accomplished. He died a miserable contractor, he was literary begging for contracts just to feed. The black scorpion ate his own excrement, begging Igbos to pay his medical bill to ease his pains until he chose death in 2014.

The bloody general was stripped off his military title; he was discharged dishonourably without his benefits, till he died he never received a single pension from the Nigerian State. It was indeed a miserable life for the tribalist.

But before his death Adekunle apologised to the Biafrans for his atrocities. And he owned up by revealing the fact that Yorubas and their Northern co-travellers declared war on Biafr* because of crude oil in the Eastern region and not for unity of the country!

And you thought that Aso Rock doesnt have a Missile defence system....Oga nawa oooh I know you dont like Nigeria and probably the ruling government. But dont underatebus till we now look like Sierra Leone or Liberia...Have a Nice Day.

Ikechukwu183:
This people are like the devil that never rests. I read upto a point where he said Adaka Boro's forces decimated Ojukwu's own, and hence celebrated for that, meanwhile people celebrate him for ND struggle. In fact, this south.waste people never take their brains along with them.

Vulu:
Even a pea-brained cow knows that write up was penned down by a yorubaman who is morbidly scared of the cemented unity in SE and SS. The Dunce threw an Igbo name as writer. yorubas have been left in the lurch like orphans. I dey laugh!

Ezeego1:
.

That's what the government fails to understand. They might not bomb Aso rock per say, but there are some soft targets they mentioned which might be easy for them to bomb.

People just have to be more careful, underestimating them won't be the solution.

I can see that some western countries are behind them, especially Russia and Iran.

Hey mr, don't deviate from the subject. If you lack comprehension skill or understanding you simply ask, no shame in doing so. I repeat, in this article posted here, it wasn't stated anywhere that the gas prrice hike was caused by the activities of NDA. If you prove me wrong, highlight the sentence, screen grab & post it in your reply. #gracias

Chukzyfcb:
Hey miss, although you make sense with this comment but I'll like to inform you that the pipeline bombing by the NDA has nothing to do with the gas price hike. If you take your time to go through the article, you should observe that its simply the CABALS at work.
I quote verbatim " .....because a couple of people have HIJACKED the government’s good gesture of installing the domestic scheme.

Aegon:
as a Greek gift to the Niger Delta peoples so they won't clamour for resource control. Sir, the national conference you organised was thrown into the archives because it was going to restructure Nigeria. You see the Northerners don't like restructuring so the president of the north confined it to the archives.

Also sir, the term host community has been redefined to mean the whole country, meaning if Shell spills crude into my village stream and my grandmothers fish pond, the compensation should go include kebbi kwara and yobe states, they're now part of the "host communities" .

HEIR:
OP guess you're a little ignorant about this subject. we can hardly say Edo and cross river are ND States, even though they're in south south.
How many oil well are in Edo and cross river? oil well in Akwa Ibom state are mostly in the shallow waters and eket.

I don't support violence in any form. But these people are suffering, amidst to much wealth from their region. Just one visit, your mindset would change.

The brainwashing Kanu put these guys through is just beyond rationalisation..... ....it is proof that the mass suicide cults such as Jim Jones and David Koresh were no myths....

When on March 15, the Secretary of the Benin Traditional Council, Mr. Frank Irabor, announced that “the leopard is ill in the Savannah bush”, we knew exactly what had happened to the Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa (CFR), the 38th Oba of Benin, who was born on June 22, 1923 and ascended the throne on March 23, 1979.

Well, to an average Benin man or woman, such an announcement is well-understood. The Benin people value tradition and culture. And they are proud of it. I am from Ufosu in the Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State that shares border with Edo State, so I should know.

The Oba of Benin is the traditional ruler of the Edo people and head of the historic Eweka dynasty of the Benin Empire.

The services of Oba Erediauwa are well-valued and will not be forgotten. Before becoming an Oba, as Prince Samuel Aiseokhuoba Igbinoghodua Akenzua, he was an outstanding civil servant. He, in fact, rose to become the Federal Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health before he retired in 1973.

Along with others, he attended the Aburi meeting held at the Peduase Lodge where the conflict of Nigeria was discussed between January 4 and January 5, 1967. Aburi is a town in Ghana and a 45-minute drive from Accra, the capital of Ghana.

Those who attended the meeting were Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, Col. Robert Adebayo, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Lt. Col. David Ejoor, Lt. Col. David Hassan Katsina, Commodore J.E.A. Wey, Major Mobolaji Johnson, Alhaji Kam Selem and Mr. J. Omo-Bare. Others were Prince S.I.A. Akenzua (Permanent Under-Secretary, Federal Cabinet Office.), Mr. P.T. Odumosu (Secretary to the Military Government, West.), Mr. N.U. Akpan (Secretary to the Military Government, East.), Mr. D.P. Lawani (Under-Secretary, Military Governor’s Office, Mid-West) and Alhaji Ali Akilu (Secretary to the Military Government, North.) The Chairman of the Ghana National Liberation Council, Lt. Gen. J.A. Ankrah, declared the meeting open in his capacity as then the head of state of Ghana.

The following was agreed upon: “That Army to be governed by the Supreme Military Council under a Chairman to be known as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Head of the Federal Military Government; Establishment of a Military Headquarters comprising equal representation from the regions and headed by a Chief of Staff; Creation of Area commands corresponding to existing regions and under the charge of Area commanders, matters of policy, including appointments and promotion to top executive posts in the Armed Forces and the Police to be dealt with by the Supreme Military Council. During the period of the Military Government, military governors will have control over area commands for internal security; Creation of a Lagos Garrison including Ikeja Barracks. In connection with the re-organisation of the Army, the council discussed the distribution of military personnel with particular reference to the present recruitment drive. The view was held that general recruitment throughout the country in the present situation would cause great imbalance in the distribution of soldiers. After a lengthy discussion of the subjects, the council agreed to set up a military committee on which each region will be represented, to prepare statistics which will show: Present strength of Nigeria Army; Deficiency in each sector of each unit; the size appropriate for the country and each area command; additional requirement for the country and each area command.

The committee is to meet and report to council within two weeks from the date of receipt of instructions. The council agreed that pending completion of the exercise in connection with re-organisation of the army, further recruitment of soldiers should cease. The implementation of the agreement reached on August 9, 1966, it was agreed, after a lengthy discussion, that it was necessary for the agreement reached on August 9 by the delegates of the Regional Governments to be fully implemented. In particular, it was accepted in principle that army personnel of Northern origin should return to the North from the West. It was therefore felt that a crash programme of recruitment and training, the details of which would be further examined after the committee to look into the strength and distribution of army personnel had reported, would be necessary to constitute indigenous army personnel in the West to a majority there quickly.

As far as the regions were concerned, it was decided that all the powers vested by the Nigerian Constitution in the regions and which they exercised prior to January 15, 1966, should be restored to the regions. To this end, the Supreme Military Council decided that all decrees passed since the military take-over, and which tended to detract from the previous powers of the regions, should be repealed by January 21, after the Law Officers should have met on January 14 to list out all such decrees.”

The decisions at Aburi amounted to, in terms of political and military control of Nigeria, that the country should be governed as a confederation.

Suffice it to say that the vocal military officers like Lt. Col. Murtala Muhammed, Major Martin Adamu and Major Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma did not attend the Aburi meeting. Prince Akenzua along with top permanent secretaries including Alhaji Yusuf Gobir, Phillip Asiodu, Eme Ebong, B.N. Okagbue and Allison Ayida deconstructed in Lagos, all that was agreed in Aburi.

On arrival in Lagos, Prince Akenzua discussed with Gowon and raised objections to what was agreed in Aburi. Gowon asked him to raise a memo which he did. I am sure a copy of the memo is with Gowon today while a copy is in the archives in the Presidency. Civil servants are to be seen and not to be heard and that is why Akenzua never released a copy of the memo to the world.

The memo dated January 8, 1967 began with: “Your Excellency, in view of my discussion with you last night, I am raising this memo in the interest our fatherland, Nigeria”. Akenzua traced the long hard road that Nigeria had travelled and stressed on the need to keep a United Nigeria.

He said in the memo that Gowon had given too much away in Aburi and that it would lead to the destruction of the country. He further added that Gowon had “legalised” total regionalism which “will make the centre very weak.” Akenzua alluded in his memo that a weak centre would lead to confederation and total disintegration of the country. It was the memo that prompted Gowon to summon a meeting of the secretaries to the military governments and other officials which was held in Benin City between February 16 and 18, 1967. If you look at the minutes of the Benin meeting presided over by Mr. H. A. Ejueyitchie, Secretary to the Federal Military Government, you will discover that it was a total rejection of what was agreed upon in Aburi. The Benin meeting interpreted in its own way the agreement reached in Aburi.

Till today, both sides (Gowon and Ojukwu till he died), interpreted what was agreed upon in Aburi in their own ways. One of the problems at Aburi was that a portion of the meeting was not recorded. The military excused the civilians at a certain stage during the meeting and it was alleged that during this informal chat that Gowon made certain commitments to Ojukwu especially on full regionalism.

Even till today, judging by the decisions reached at the last National Conference, we are still arguing on confederation or federalism.

As long as Nigeria remains one under federalism, the memo of Akenzua which was a wake-up call on Gowon and his efforts later will continue to be appreciated in no small measure.

The nation remembers and the nation appreciates.

Shym3xx:
Oil prices are controlled by supply and volatility - not demand since there will always be a very high demand for crude oil. The major players aren't the buyers - the suppliers control the market, hence Saudi Arabia and the gulf states are very instrumental in determining oil prices...not the countries you listed.

Also, there are different types of crude oil and the specifications/configurations for refineries vary. So you can't just wake up one day and say cos there's volatility in the Nigerian market you would move from naij's sweet crude - to Saudi's oil that has high sulphur. It takes time.

Anyway, in as much as this won't hike oil prices that much, it will boost it a bit.

ASL33:
Even yesterday it was on cnbc europe that the marginal gain in price is die to the fire incident in canada oil city and ND bombing in nigeria. Yoi people argue blindly most times.

fiizznation:
Dude don't sit down there and tell me horseshit. Tell me how the militants activities in the niger/delta control the international oil price and I will eventually deactivate my account immediately{besides am even tired of engaging little minds like you and the person that brought this horseshit here}. You guys can't be crawling out from whatever mushroom you reside in and be spreading total bullshit. Can't you people think for once or what? If someone tells me the gulf nations control oil price with a concrete proof, I will totally agree. But militants controlling oil price!!! Does that even make any sense to you? What is wrong with you people?

fiizznation:
You can't just ignorantly copy one piece of crap rubbish from western media houses and expect me to swallow their lies. I read economics at some certain time and am very vested in the field, especially in the prices of oil, gas, diesel and kerosene. I'm challenging you to tell me{since you were the person that ignorantly brought this horseshit plus junky analysis here without knowing how to intellectually defend the crap} how the sabotage by the militants is effecting the world oil price and you are telling me the stories of our ancestors. Are you for real? Assuming you were asked in the exam hall to defend what you pasted up there, are you going to tell the lecturer that he should ask the original poster? My friend we are in the 21st century, wake up please

Tycike:
Yeah I saw it in the news but I don't think is due to militancy.

By Levinus Nwabughiogu ABUJA – President Mohammadu Buhari is handicapped over the increase in the price of premium motor spirit, PMS, Vice President, Yemi Osinabjo has said. Seemingly rising in defence of the president amid the backlash of angry feelings among many Nigerians caused by the all-time drastic increase, Osinabjo said that though the president was opposed to the new price initially, he had no choice than to accept the change. According to him, the decision was necessary if the country must source for foreign exchange to import fuel. In any case, the Vice President said that even if the local refineries were resuscitated, the country would still need to import product as they would only run at 40 percent capacity. Osinbajo spoke Tuesday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book titled “Anatomy of Corruption in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges & Solutions, a collection of essays”, edited by a renowned lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Mr. Yusuf Ali. This is not the first time, the office of the Vice President would be exonerating the president from the hike.

Clearly from that photo all I can see is a list of countries that love their citizens unlike Nigeria.

My God! Just look at UAE the minimum wage in that country is N217, 362 and petrol is sold there for N36, 54 per liter

OK look at Libya they pay second to the lowest the minimum wage is N23,813 and petrol is sold there for N26, 69

Ladies and gentlemen please take a look at our great country Nigeria and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.

Plz don't give me that crap bullshit that oil price is falling cause they are in this too
