The Hausa/Fulani controls Nigeria's security and government apparatus so they think they can use it and decide who to or not to arrest. the world is watching. |
he Igbo apex socio-politicalgroup, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, hascondemned the Federal Government’s call for the re-arrest and bail revocation of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief NniaNwodo, who gave the statement on behalf of the group also accused the Federal Government of bias, double standard and violation of Kanu’s fundamental human rights especially for refusing to arrest the Arewa Youths whom he said issued threatening and hate speech to Ndigbo.Chief Nwodo also urged the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN to “please respect your oath of office,” wondering why the AGF would move to re-arrest Kanu while refusingto do anything to stop the Arewa youths whom he said only ‘pretended’ to withdraw the quit notice they issued to Igbo in the North.Kanu was granted bail on April 25, 2017, after spendingseveral months in detention.Chief Nwodo spoke in a release titled,‘Attorney General of the Federation, please respect your oath of office!’Parts of the statement read, “It has just been brought to my notice that the Attorney General of the Federation hasapproached the courts to incarcerate Nnamdi Kalu for flouting his bail conditions.“I am amazed that the distinguished attorney is prepared to contest the superiority of the provisions of the constitution on fundamental human rights of freedom of movement and freedom of association over an erroneous judicial proclamation violating those rights.“I am equally miffed by the audacity with which the Attorney General displays hisbias without regard to his oath of office.“A few hours ago under the watchful eyes of the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and in totaldefiance of the Head of State’s proclamation of the rights of a citizen of Nigeria to live anywhere in Nigeria and to do business anywherein Nigeria, the Arewa youths, pretending to withdraw their quit notice gave qualifications to the Head of State’s proclamation, issuingconditions for enjoyment of citizenship status.“These same Arewa youths are supposed to have been arrested on the orders of the Governor of Kaduna State and the Inspector General of Police for acts of treason, conversion and sedition.“As the Chief Law Officer of the Federation, the Attorney General looks the other way. He does not go to court to seek an order of arrest or prosecution.”“Nnamdi, as a citizen of Nigeria, is free to hold any point of view no matter how displeasing to anyone so long as they are not inciting or provoking any criminal activities.“I and some Igbo leaders have differences of opinion with Nnamdi on a number of issues. We have been insulted and abused by RadioBiafra but we concede them their right to differ from us. We concede them their nature to be exuberant as youths but we cannot be judgmental about their rights.“This is a democracy. In democracies, leaders are abused, pelted with rotten eggs and booed at, as the former Edo State governor was booed in Abuja a few days ago. These acts are not necessarily criminal.“I urge the Attorney-General not to exacerbate our alreadytense nation by commencing a legal action which portrays him as biased, insensitive and misdirected,” the Ohanaeze leader said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/breaking-ohanaeze-accuses-fg-of-bias-in-call-for-kanus-re-arrest-bail-revocation/?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C6014360870 |
The United Nations has called for the arrest and prosecution of a coalition of northern youth groups for issuing a quit notice to Igbo living in the northern part of Nigeria. In a statement issued yesterday in Geneva, three UN experts urged the Federal Government to arrest those behind a song that sought to disparage the Igbo. The experts include Mr. Mutuma Ruteere, Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance; Mr. Fernand de Varennes, Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues; and Ms. Anastasia Crickley, Chairperson of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The statement reads: ‘’We are gravely concerned about this proliferation of hate messages and incitement to violence against the Igbo and their property, especially considering the previous history of such violence. “The government must be vigilant, as hate speech and incitement can endanger social cohesion and threaten peace by deepening the existing tensions between Nigeria’s ethnic communities. We are deeply concerned that some prominent local leaders and elders have not condemned the ultimatum, hate speech, and the perpetrators. “We call on the government, media and civil society representatives, local and religious leaders, to reject and condemn hate speech and incitement to violence unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms. Incidents of hate speech and incitement to violence have to be investigated and the perpetrators prosecuted and punished. This includes the people behind the ultimatum and those responsible for the creation, publication, and circulation of the hate song and audio message.” This came as a former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar commended the Northern groups for withdrawing the quit notice, adding that the group must drop its other demands for true reconciliation. Atiku in a statement yesterday, called on other ethnic groups that might have issued counter quit notices to rescind their decisions. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/quit-notice-un-experts-call-arrest-prosecution-arewa-youths/

GoroTango:According to KANU 'The Buhari Presidency will hasten the actualization of Biafra'. Think about that. |
Self determination is a my right which Buhari must respect. according to the UN Charter: The right of people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law (commonly regarded as a jus cogens rule), binding, as such, on the United Nations as authoritative interpretation of the Charter’s norms. [1][2] It states that people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity , have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference.

Reports reaching Igbere TV news desk have it that IPOB has called its members to disregard the information circulating that Nnamdi Kanu who is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra agreed that elections will hold in Anambra after meeting with Igbo leaders today Read below.. ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION: Biafrans are hereby urged to disregard the fake news circulating online that the leader of the indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB) mazi Nnamdi kanu backs down on his call to boycott the upcoming governorship elections in Aambra state following a meeting of some igbo leaders in owerri. A confirmation of this report from RADIO BIAFRA justifies the facts that the Nigeria media elements are biased. Therefore there is no going back on #NO ELECTIONS IN ANAMBRA http://igberetvnews.com/423284/biafra-no-election-in-anambra-igbo-leaders-are-liars-ipob-insists-reveals-what-nnamdi-kanu-discussed-with-igbo-leaders-today/ |
Nairaland that post was not the full write up of FFK. Pls visit his Facebook page to get the whole writeup : https://mbasic.facebook.com/Femi-Fani-Kayode-62188827209/?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C5048104498 OR READ it here: ONE HUNDRED DAYS ABROAD AND STILL POSING FOR PICTURESPresident Muhammadu Buhari has been away from our shores for over 100 days in a stretch treating an undisclosed and mysterious illness in far-away London.Since May 29th 2015 when he was sworn into officeas President he has spent 350 of his over 740 days in power abroad treating the same strange ailment.Those that demand that he should "resume or resign" are being attacked and brutalised by securityforces and agents of the state.The Buhari government is a murderous contraption that has no respect for human rights and civil liberties.Charly Boy Oputa, Deji Adeyanju, Ariyo Dare- Atoye, Jude Ndukwe and other notable figures and leaders of the "Our Mumu Don Do" movement were brutalised and almost murdered by Buhari's savage footsoldiers at Wuse Market in Abuja the other day simply because they dared to go on a demonstrationand ask for the President to "resume or resign".If that had happened Nigeria would have exploded yet no arrests have been made and the government seems unperturbed.Tension has gripped the land as we approach October 1st and the Nigerian people have expresseddeep concern about what is unfolding yet all we are fed with on a daily basis are pictures of an ailing Buhari, posing like a fading and ageing Playboy model, holding court in London and granting audience to his friends, political associates, family members and loyalists.The whole thing is not only inappropiate and undignified but it is also deeply insulting. Simply put it is sordid. The Nigerian people never banked on or voted for a fragile picture-posing foreign-based mannequin to be their President.Meanwhile the world laughs us to scorn and mocks our nation as one in which even a walking corpse that is clearly suffering from dementia can lead and hold sway.We are a nation in which an Acting President who is scared of his own shadow, who appears to have losttouch with his senses and who has forgotten the history and heritage of the people that he supposedly represents, has been reduced to a mere national co-ordinator and that is in the power of a faceless and tiny cabal of neo-nazi racists, religious bigots and power-hungry geriatrics.The truth is that we are now a full-fledged dictatorship that is being controlled and presided over by a tiny cabal with a religious and ethnic agenda.This, together with an unrelenting, though unsuccessful attempt, to demonise and crush the traditional opposition and silence all forms of dissent has resulted in the irresistable rise of powerful and well-organised secessionist and separatist groups such as the Yoruba Liberation Command (YOLICOM) and the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).The fact that the Federal Government is incapable ofencouraging national cohesion and integration but is instead saddled with a morbid obsession to try to destroy President Goodluck Jonathan and rubbish his excellent legacy speaks volumes.The lies and propaganda of the Buhari administration are second to none. Simply put they are filled with deceit, deception, mendacity and hate.They have sought to demonise and destroy more innocent Nigerians than any other Government in our entire history.They have killed more innocent Nigerians than any other Government in our history outside of the civil war.They have locked up more innocent Nigerians and subjected them to shameful and barbaric witchunts and media trials than any other civilian Government in the history of our country.Under them murderous soldiers slaughtered over 1000 Shia Muslims in one afternoon in Zaria and buried them in mass graves.Under them thousands of IPOB youths have been butchered by security agents.Under them hundreds of thousands of innocent Nigerians have been raped, maimed, robbed and massacred by well-armed, well-funded and well-organised Fulani militias and herdsmen all over the country yet not one of the perpetrators has been arrested or brought to justice simply because they are members of the President's ethnic group and they are his loyal footsoldiers.Under them Boko Haram has resurrected, restored its fortunes and won back virtually all the territory that they had lost when President Goodluck Jonathan was in power.Under them more Christians have been butchered and more Churches burnt down than any other Govermment in the history of Nigeria.Under them northern youths have given a chilling quit notice to our Igbo compatriots to leave the north. They have also threatened them with genocide and mass murder if they fail to do so by Octobr 1st yet not one of those murderous youths has been aprrehended, questioned or arrested.Under them a frightful and barbaric song has been crafted and is being shared and sang all over the north which openly calls for the ethnic cleansing andtotal elimination and annihilation of every Igbo in thecountry yet the song has not been outlawed or banned and its authors have not been arrested.Under them a culture of silence and fear has been imposed on the Nigerian people and few are ready torisk life, limb and liberty by speaking truth to power or resisting and standing up to tyranny.Under them the worst economic recession that we have ever experienced in our history has been established and the Nigerian people have been afflicted with pain, hunger, hardship, suffering, poverty, uncertainty and despair.Under them cows (yes cows!) have taken over our city streets, schools and places of worship and the lives of cattle are deemed to have more value than that of human beings.There is no gain saying that Buhari and his followers are not only a curse and a terrible affliction on our nation but they are also a very real danger to our unity as a people.Their objective appears to be to turn Nigeria into a nation of quislings and vassals and a colony of pliantand cowardly slaves.They refer to every northern Muslim that resists theirevil agenda and that does not support them as a traitor and an infidel and they refer to every southerner and Christian as a slave and an unbeliever.Their's is the language of hate, violence and division and it must be condemned and resisted by all men and women of goodwill regardless of their faith and ethnicity.More than any other Government in our entire history the Buhari administration has divided us along ethnic, religious and regional lines and they don't appear to give a hoot about the implications of doing so.As a matter of fact the contrary is the case: they appear to enjoy doing it and they feed on the dangerous divisions that they have created.As regards Buhari himself, I have said it before and I will say it again: he is the darkness that seeks the darkness and the most divisive and destructive leader that Nigeria has ever known. He is the quintessential biblical Amalekite and the classical"troubler of Israel".The Bible says "the tender mercies of the wicked arecruel" and Buhari is cruel indeeed. As a matter of fact he is not human and he is incapable of exhibiting any form of genuine compassion or kindness.He is a demonic incarnate. He is what the great writer and historian David Icke describes as "a shape-shifting reptilian" with sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies.Cold-blooded and ruthless, he thrives in the shadows and he is led and guided by the dark spiritual forces and entities that brought him into this world to do havoc.And like all reptilians, to maintain his human form hedrinks human blood and eats human flesh.Simply put he is a wicked and unrelenting sadist whose failures as President are glaring and manifestfor all to see.Worse of all, he hates the children of God and despises the forces of light. Malevolence is his forte and destruction is his delight.He thrives on both and he feeds on the energy, essence, glory and souls of his innocent victims.May the Ancient of Days deliver our country from hisevil clutches and may the Lord of Hosts save us from those that regard and worship him as a living and cultic deity.Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following.So obsessed, so primitive, so provincial, so evil, so insensitive, so petty, so cruel, so crude, so paranoid, so deluded, so out of touch with reality, so reckless, so hateful and so obsessed with President Jonathanand the PDP is the Buhari Presidency that they went as far as to say that the great lady and former Minister of Information Mrs. Dora Akunyili was sent to her premature death and early grave because she was given a job by the former President.Never in the history of our nation has such a vicious, nonsensical, baseless, malevolent and specious mendacity been pronounced by an official of the Federal Government.One wonders whether Buhari and his minions have any shame? One wonders whether they have any respect for the dead?One wonders whether they are not all suffering from dementia like Buhari is himself?One wonders if they have any decency or humanity left in the deeper recesses of their antedeluvian and pyschotic souls?Nevermind the fact that the statement was issued by a very junior staff of the Presidency who I gather is as much of a palm-wine guzzling low-life and woman of easy virtue as she is an ugly old drunkard: the truth is that she looks and reasons like a blood-swirling ritualist and the product of an incestuos union. Imagine having to come home to that every night?Yet whatever she is, whatever she drinks, whatever she smokes, whoever her parents are, whichever poor soul she goes home to every night and however repugnant her looks may be the fact remains that what she has said is morally reprehensible.It is also a clear reflection of the callousness, the grave psychological degeneration and the deep intellectual bankruptcy of the Buhari administration.Whatever Buhari and his minions may feel about Jonathan, the People's Democratic Party or anyone else they should please leave Dora Akunyili out of it because this profoundly good lady that brought joy to the hearts of so many is not here to speak for or defend herself.They should allow this great daughter of Nigeria whowas not only my colleague in the Obasanjo administration over ten years ago but who also served our nation honorably and creditably through the auspices of no less than three PDP President's and Federal Governments to continue to rest in peace.Buhari and his staff talking about Dora is like the the devil talking about an angel. They are not fit to mention her name or to lick the bottom of her shoes. |

heaven was let open at the weekend when Prophet T.B Joshua of the Synaguoge Church of All Nations led the people on a two-day high power crusade to Paraguay. he atmosphere was filled with high expectations as Paraguayans from all walks of life and government as well as religious leaders trooped to the Estadio Defensores Del Chaco in the capital, Asuncion to receive God’s touch.Not less than a hundred wheelchaired people were healed of various ailments asthey were seen leaving the magnificent stadiumwith their wheelchairs raised while they walked unaided for the first time in many years.The two-day crusade which rounded off on Saturday August 12, started at about 6pm local time on Friday, August 11 and saw many streets deserted, albeit with massive pockets of traffic on major roads leading to the stadium.Over two million people from the city of Asuncion graced the occasion. Some of them who spoke with local media said no such miracles have ever been witnessed before in Paraguay. This was corroborated by one Mr. Mario Martinez, a Mexican who came all the way from Mexico City to attend the crusade.The high point of the crusadewas the official presentation of highest National Honour by the Paraguayan Parliament to Prophet T.B Joshua.He was also presented with the key to the capital city of Asuncion by the Municipal Council – an indication that the city has been handed over to God for His blessing through Prophet T.B Joshua.It would be recalled that the man of God was received by highly expectant Paraguayans at the nation’s International Airport. The Secretary General of the Parliament of Paraguay, Dej Medina Paredes, led the country’s high-powered committee which received Prophet Joshua upon arrival.She said: “I am very excited and can see a lot of expectation in the people from Paraguay because they are waiting for a spiritual transformation through the coming of this message fromChrist. All of us are waiting for that spiritual transformation.“We want to receive him very well, we want to be healed and as a Member of Parliament, I appreciate his coming. We are a privileged nation to have him visit our country.The local media had also reported that most of the hotels in the capital, Asuncion were declared filledwhile many international visitors were seen making hotel bookings for the event.Earlier, Prophet TB Joshua had held crusades in Columbia, Mexico, South Korea and Peru. His international crusades have always been huge successeswith many suggesting that no other African Pastor has been able to match him internationally. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/t-b-joshua-shuts-paraguay-powerful-miracles/ |
Everything about power generation and distribution should be on the the Concurrent List. Not a situation where state are to generate but have no legislative back up to distribute. |
Recently, a video that was also attached with pictures of President Muhammadu Buhari and his presidential aids in London has been making wave online. The news which reported that Buhari recieved his presidential aids in London, stating that his doctors do not want him to come back in Nigeria for medical purposes. A picture has also emerged as a counter to the visitation as a concocted fallacy by the federal government of Nigeria to decieving the citizens of the country and also the general public. The picture caption indicts that the said visitation was made since December 2016.

"I don't play the politics of Militancy, I don't, I also don't play the politics of Amnesty payment, it’s of no use, I don't play the politics of settlement; I play the politics of Freedom. Edwin Clerk never asked me why I am stopping Anambra state election, because if he had asked me, I will tell him that as old as he is, I want to set him free. The reason why the so called elders and the Igwes want the election to hold is because of the oil allocation, and because of the monthly payment. They don't care about the masses and their suffering, because if they do, they will go to Osibanjo to negotiate the date for referendum instead of election... Edwin Clerk is fighting for resource control of 13%, may be moved to 15%, Nnamdi Kanu is fighting for resource control of Ijaw people, so that they can control their resources 100% through our freedom" |
Husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage, husband means master.The reason for most problems in Christian marriages is the fact that women refute God’s definition of marriage and form theirs. They believe they are equalpartners.If most women had their fathers bold enough to talk to them, they will be very successful in their marriage and they will be very happy people. Most women have never been taught by their parents, their fathers particularly and that’s their biggest problem because they don’t know who a man is, they think he is another woman.In marriage, you have the man who is the head of that union and because he’s the head of that union, its important to understand him. You think he’s the one that needs to understand his wife and that is where you are wrong. He will eventually but you haveto know the type of man you are married to and his needs.When you say you are marrying a man, you are coming under his authority. The Bible says, the man is the head of the woman (1 Corinthians 11:3) so when you marry him you come under his authority, you are not authority sharers even though you are both heirs to the kingdom of God.When you decide not to subject yourself to that authority, you are a rebel and God is not going to accept what you are doing because you are not functioning correctly. Why did God make the woman?Making woman was not God’s original plan because after God created Adam and before He made Eve, He said in Genesis 1:31 “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good”. God made woman because of man so woman was not Hisoriginal idea. This is reality.Genesis 2:18a “And the Lord God said “for it is not good for a man to be alone..” The Bible didn’t say “lonely” but “alone”. There is a big difference. Man wasn’t lonely but alone. Genesis 2:18b “…I will make him an help meet”. He didn’t say a partner or a supervisor or a special advisor or someone to tell himwhat to do.I will make him someone to help him. God gave man a responsibility so woman was made to help man achieve that responsibility.If this is understood in every home then you won’t have problems.I tell people that you don’t need a marriage seminar, you need the Word Seminar. Let me tell you, no husband wants another mother, he has had one all his life. He doesn’t want an older sister, he probably had one.Your secret is in obedience, your secret is in listening to your husband, your secret is in doing the things that please him. When you don’t do the things that please him, you take the role of a mother or of an older sister.A man loves the one he serves (God) and the one thatserves him (a good wife). He fights the one that wants to be at the same level with him (a rebellious wife).To be happy in your family and home is the easiest thing in the world, just take your role. Take your place. That place that God gave you is a beautiful place. Its a place of peace. Its a place of love. It’s a place of excellence.Every wise person listens to wise voices (advice) but he listens to a wise voice that is presented wisely.Everyone rebels against the voice that is trying to make a fool out of him. When you want to correct your husband, don’t lord it over him,present it as a wise suggestion. Humble yourself and be smart.A wise woman will always be an influence to her husband, the foolish one will always annoy the husband, make him mad, make him angry and when you make him angry, you will be the victim. Learn to listen to your husband, practice it, tell yourself that you are going to do it because that is where your beauty is.Once you stop listening, your beauty evaporates. Youwonder why you are dressing and he can’t see it, he doesn’t remember your last hair style. Beauty is in obedience. That’s where the Glory is.God bless you! COPIED Rev Chris Oyakhilome Ds.c DD |
The Northern States Governor’s Forum has set up a high-powered committee to look into the implications of restructuring on the region and the country in general. This was the position of the northern states’ governors in a statement issued at the end of their meeting in Kaduna, on Friday, which was read by the Katsina State governor, Alhaji Aminu Masari. The governor said the committee was mandated to collect and collate the views of the various agitations for restructuring from individuals, groups and corporate organisations. The committee is to come up with an acceptable, tenable and sustainable position for the Northern Region, in consonance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended and as well as take into cognisance the current constitutional amendment processes going on in the National Assembly. According to Masari, the committee would be headed by the Sokoto State governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal. Other members of the committee are the governors of Nassarawa, Benue, Gombe and Kaduna states, the emirs of Kano, Gummi, Zazzau, Etsu Nupe and Gbong Gom Jos, while the deputy governor of Plateau State would serve as the secretary. The Forum also reaffirmed its commitment to national unity, peaceful co-existence and the rights of all Nigerians to reside and own property in any part of the country, as guaranteed by the constitution. “We reassure all Nigerians who live in the North of our readiness to protect their lives and property. We therefore call on our colleagues in the South to emulate this gesture,” Masari said. Meanwhile, the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, carpeted the northern governors for setting up the committee, describing the action as deceitful. This was contained in its reaction sent to Saturday Tribune, on Friday, by its spokesman, Mr Yinka Odumakin. “The northern governors’ decision on restructuring, coming hours after their parliamentarians shut down devolution of powers in the National Assembly, is a mere taunt. Like their fronts in APC chose anti-restructuring Nasir el-Rufai to define the term, they have chosen Tambuwal to head their own panel. “It is laughable that the descendants of those who demanded for confederacy to return to after they walked out from the federal parliament in protest against the Action Group (AG) motion for independence and at the 1967 Ad-hoc constitutional conference called by General Yakubu Gowon can now be pretending not to know what federalism means. “They are free to play the ostrich while the Republic gradually disappears because of the temporary advantage they hold over Nigeria. The bell surely tolls as it is pretty clear that Nigeria can no longer run successfully on the current terms,” he said. http://tribuneonlineng.com/northern-govs-set-committee-restructuring-•it-mere-taunt-afenifere/ |

More than half the foreign-trained doctors and dentists failed examinations to secure practice licence of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria this year. A total 334 doctors and seven dentists who graduated from medical colleges outside Nigeria sat for the assessment this year. Only 160 doctors and four dentists passed--a 40% success rate. At their induction at MDCN headquarters, health minister Isaac Adewole called the pass rate "worrisome." "Parents, please ask questions before you send your ward to overseas institutions," he warned. "The fact it [the institution] is foreign does not make it good or excellent. Shine your eyes before you spend your hard-earned dollars sending your child to a school that's not good." Acting MDCN registrar Tajudeen Sanusi called the council examination "a check of knowledge and skills" to ensure that the standards of medical training Nigerian students get abroad measure up to standards in Nigeria. Passing the exam determines eligibility of new practitioners to be provisionally registered by the council. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/50-foreign-trained-doctors-fail-practice-test/205534.html |
The Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua has warned of an imminent revolution capable of grounding the country. He said protest could be stopped by the use of anti-riot security agents but a full-blown revolution could not be stopped which has the capability of causing or inflicting a huge damage on the country. ''Every revolution, he said, starts by protests which the powers-that-be could stop but when it snowballs into a revolution, it becomes impossible to stop because it will consume everyone'' Speaking further, he said as people take to the streets with placards it would be initially mistaken for protest whereas it is not but soon after a moment it will dawn on everyone it is a revolution in which everyone would be ready to die. The dangerous scenario, he said is gradually unfolding in Nigeria. The man of God whose prophecies seldom fail rounded off by saying ''This I see happen'' http://dailyglobewatch.eu/index.php?url=2017%2F07%2Ffrightening-fear-anxiety-as-tb-joshua-drops-bombshell-on-nigeria.html#.WWS9F6Owr2U.facebook |
Alhaji Ahmed Gusau has said the subversive activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, will be met with an appropriate response soon. He stated this in his article to our newsroom titled 'Kanu & co-travelers to meet their Waterloo soon' He metaphorically compared Kanu and his co-travelers as drowning men who are only clutching the reed on the river bank to save their lives which he said will no longer work having exceeded all known tolerant limits. Further in the article, he 'advised' Kanu to quickly declare the Republic of Biafra since he has so many supporters in the five Igbo-speaking states of the south-east. This, he said, will facilitate the Republic of Biafra. He said: 'I wonder what has been holding him back to declare his Biafra Republic since he enjoys and have the backing of the Igbos in the region he comes from. If Ojukwu did who was then not his age, what is restraining him to openly declare the secession he has been agitating for. Soon we will answer him, whether he renounces now or not, it does not make any difference because he must pay for his subversive activities no matter whose ox is gored.'', he threatened. Read the full article below: ''We here in the far north love peace and peaceful co-existence with other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. It was only recently that a few misguided and socially undesirable elements amongst us hiding under Islam which preaches peace to unleash terror on Muslims and non-Muslims alike calling attention to Boko Haram's activities to actualize a sovereign Islamic State within Nigeria. So far this has been met with a violent response from the Nigerian military. The war has been difficult to fight because it is an insurgency. The Boko Haram insurgents are not a regular army. They infiltrate the civil populace and the Nigerian military can not be killing its own people while prosecuting the ongoing war with the insurgents. Be that as it may, we used to sleep not only with one eye open but with two eyes open which is now a thing of the past since the Boko Haram has been effectively degraded by the superior firepower of the Nigerian military. This is what the US which is reckoned to be the most powerful country in the world is finding difficult to do in countries like Afghanistan and Somalia. The Nigerian military has been able to effectively combat the insurgency in the northeast. I had to digress in this piece because I often read on the pages of Facebook what Kanu's Facebook soldiers always say that the Nigerian military does not have the capability to confront Nnamdi Kanu's soldiers in the event of a full-blown war with Nigeria. Since they are of that view, that is the surest way to quickly realise Biafra. I will advise Nnamdi Kanu to capitalise on the purported weakness of the Nigerian military and declare the Republic of Biafra and use the soldiers he is training in the 'USA and Israel' to overrun Nigeria. I wonder what has been holding him back to declare his Biafra Republic since he enjoys and have the backing of the Igbos in the region he comes from. If Ojukwu did who was then not his age, what is restraining him from openly declaring the secession he has been agitating for. Soon we will answer him, whether he renounces now or not, it does not make any difference because he must pay for his subversive activities no matter whose ox is gored. Kanu should as a matter of urgency declare the Republic of Biafra in any of the Igbo-speaking enclaves of his choice to speedily actualize his Biafra to allow peace reign in Nigeria when he succeeds. Of course, he says, he is a demigod and the Supreme Lord of the Igbos for he has been so variously addressed by his followers so much so that he now runs a parallel government in Nigeria. Kanu for sure is doomed and can never extricate himself from his culpable acts whether he renounces Biafra now or not. We will continue to keep a track record of his activities, his backers, his sponsors in this perilous journey together with his provocative statements until the Rubicon is crossed. There is no one single Nigerian leader he has not insulted and under normal condition, can he insult any of his mates or even a child and expect the child to swallow the insult? Certainly not. We want to hear more from him before he is finally crushed once and for all. It is better for him to remain in the south-east where he is presently an overlord because leaving that region for any other part of Nigeria will be too risky for him because of the insults he has heaped on every region. I wonder where his strength lies. We shall soon see when it comes to the crunch. We will act soon, we will respond soon violently and overwhelmingly for the freedom he seemingly enjoys now is nothing but a bait and Greek gift. We will do this when all is set for the final battle to destroy all forces of evil which he and co-travelers represent. Our radar is on his sponsors who we know one by one and we want to identify more of them. The night of wonder to free Nigeria from the deadly grip of these demons has set sail and it will be executed soon when it berths like a ship. Certainly, Kanu cannot escape the devouring wrath and division which his hate speech has caused Nigeria. Soon it will be met with a violent and overwhelming response. *Ahmed Gusau writes from Bama, Borno State. http://dailyglobewatch.eu/index.php?url=+2017%2F07%2Fbiafra-confusion-as-prominent-northerner-ahmed-gusau-betrays-the-north-backs.html#.WWJBW4pT1F8.facebook |

'The man who gave the name Biafra to Biafra was an Ijaw man, Chief Frank Opigbo.' so the name Biafra was given by an ijaw man. Why the talk about Biafra been an Igbo concept. what a revelation. |
But investigations by weekend Vanguard in Kaduna has revealed that beyond the public condemnation by political leaders of the quit notice issued by the Arewa youths to Igbos in the north, the move appears to enjoy the support, and active sponsorship by conservative northern oligarchs. According to our investigations, although the initial plan for the Kaduna Declaration was the handiwork of the groups, who were signatories to the declaration and have always been available for any group to be used to advance their political agenda during the sixteen years of the Peoples democratic rule, the idea assumed a life of its own when one of the signatories to the declaration contacted a former northern academic to intimate him of the plan. “From the point the former academic was contacted, the issue assumed a different dimension, necessitating the shifting of the press conference from Monday to Tuesday. It became obvious that we were on the right path and we seized on the opportunity to make a point that at that point, we knew we had the backing of the majority of the people of our region and especially the leadership at the grass root” one signatory to the Declaration who did not want to have his name in print told Vanguard. But while other northern leaders prefer to operate from the shadows while giving moral and financial support to members of the northern youth coalition in their declaration, Professor Ango Abdullahi, the former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and the modern face of northern irredentism did not only openly declare his support for the youths but also publicly condemned the Kaduna state governor for ordering the arrest of the youths. Abdu Speaking to newsmen in Zaria, Professor Ango Abdullahi who is a member of the Northern Elders Forum maintained that it was hypocritical for the Igbos to continue to live in other parts of the country while agitating for Nigeria’s break up. Insisting that what the northern youth groups did was not a sin, Abdullahi said whoever feels Nigeria “is not conducive for him” should quit. “I am disappointed in the decision taken by Northern Governors’ Forum disowning and condemning the agitation by this young agile and progressive youth groups. “Let me ask these Northern governors, whom are they representing, are they representing spirits, ghost or people of the north? “Recently, people from eastern part of this country, specifically Igbo, were busy calling for the Sovereign State of Biafra and from all indication their leaders including governors are behind them. Nobody has come out to condemn them. What are our people saying?” he queried. But while the views expressed by Ango Abdullahi may represent the extreme position, very many Northern leaders feel that the emergence of the youth group was a good counter poise to what they feel is the relentless denigration of the whole northern region by the agitators for the so called state of Baifra. According to a lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University who spoke with Vanguard, ‘majority of the northern elites feel that we should also have our own ‘noise makers so that when the chips are down, we will have a point to trade. It is not as if people want Igbos to leave the north as declared by the youth groups. Our support for them stems from the fact that we cannot afford to continue to portray a spirit of docility. Majority of northern elites support these guys because they are expendable and they are saying the right thing that our people want to hear. We know that when the chips are down, the Igbos have greater things at stake. We want them to know that we also know what to do when push comes to shove. The north did not set out to recruit those guys but they filled a vacuum at the most appropriate time. When El Rufai said he was aware that some people were reluctant to carry out the arrest directive given by his state government, he knew exactly what he was talking about and I can tell you that none of those guys can be arrested in the north. We are behind them” For now, while Nnamdi Kanu and his misguided supporters in the east push for Biafra, they have found an equally misguided ally in the north. With the support that both groups enjoy from some people in the zone, other Nigerians will wait to see whether the will of a few misguided youths and their sponsors will prevail or the majority of Nigerians who are more interested in the vicissitude of daily living will be giving an opportunity to live their lives in peace. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/arewa-youths-public-condemnation-private-support/ |
.Mallam El Rufai’s proactive condemnation of the statement by the amorphous Northern youths group in their so called Kaduna Declaration opened a floodgate of condemnation from other stakeholders in the northern part of the country because of the manifest implication such a brazen ultimatum to Igbos in the north could pose not just in the northern part of the country but also the country at large. The governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima who is also the chairman of the nineteen northern governors’ forum followed suit in condemning the declaration of the northern youth’s coalition. In a statement he issued a day after Governor El Rufai had directed security agencies to arrest leaders of the group, the Borno state governor in a statement distanced the governors of the nineteen northern states from the statement of the Youth coalition. In a statement he issued, the governor noted that the views of the so called northern youths neither represented the views of the political leadership in the north nor the generality of the people of the region. “On behalf of the Governors of the 19 Northern states, we totally condemn such irresponsible pronouncements by those groups. We condemn, we disown, and we are totally distancing ourselves from those faceless groups who don’t have the mandate of the people of Northern Nigeria to make such loud pronouncements. Section 41, Subsection 1 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is very explicit in safeguarding the rights of all Nigerians to reside in any part of the country with no hindrance whatsoever. But then, when you see a toad dancing in broad daylight, the drummer is not far off from the main road. We wish to call on the security agencies to beam their lenses on these groups, and unearth the faces behind the mask. “Some months back, there were cases of importation of arms, illegal importation of arms intercepted at the ports, and then we started hearing rumours of a coup d’etat. Now, a groups that do not have the mandate of the people came up with remarks capable of destabilizing the north and the country as a whole. ‘We are one nation tied to a common destiny, the governance of Northern Nigeria is not in alignment with those pronouncements, and we will take whatever measures that are necessary to safeguard the lives and properties of Nigerians living in any part of the North. I am in contact with most of my colleagues, and they are all talking to heads of security establishments in their respective domains because we cannot afford to take chances. We cannot afford to toil with the destiny of this country. “The 19 Northern Governors wish to call on our brothers of Igbo descent to remain calm and go about their legitimate businesses. Nobody can dare to intimidate, harass or dehumanize them in any of the 19 northern states. Our governors will not allow that.” Several other voices of condemnation from across the country have followed the high profile ones as represented by governor Nasir El Rufai and his Borno state counterpart, Kashim Shettima. |
When a coalition of northern youths group infamously issued three months quit notice to Igbo leaving in the nineteen northern states of the country to quit the region and go back to the eastern part of the country, the initial reaction of the government and people of Kaduna state was that of outrage. Governor Nasir El Rufai who blazed the trail in the gale of condemnation through his senior special Assistant on media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan was unmistakeable in his upbraid. Addressing a press conference at the Nigerian Union of Journalists office in Kaduna, Aruwan, who was clear in his condemnation, said the Kaduna state government which had passed a law outlawing hate speech in the state would not sit by and allow some people to use the serenity of the state to cause havoc in the country. According to Aruwan, the state government did not only condemn the quit notice issued by the groups but has also directed relevant security agencies in the state to hunt down the signatories to the obnoxious statement and bring them to account according to the relevant sections of the law. He said: “The Kaduna State Government condemns in the strongest terms the press statement by some self-appointed “northern youths” that threatened the safety and property of our citizens of Igbo extraction. Government assures every resident of our state that their constitutional and human rights to live peacefully and own property wherever they choose is sacrosanct. Even people who may feel unhappy about irresponsible comments or actions that have taken place in other states must know that two wrongs cannot make a right. “The Kaduna State Government believes in and will uphold the right of every Nigerian to live safely and develop his/her full potentials within its territory. “Reckless disregard for the rights of other citizens drips through the press statement by these “northern youths” who have chosen to use the discourse around restructuring to promote their own agenda of hate, division and incitement. This sort of opportunists cannot be allowed to distort debate, or turn it into a pretext for a barely-disguised agenda of displacement and dispossession of some citizens. “We will not tolerate such irresponsible statements and conduct in our state. The statement issued by the “northern youths” violates the laws of Kaduna State. Therefore, the Kaduna State Government has directed that its Ministry of Justice should prepare charges and prosecute the signatories and anyone complicit in arranging this egregious assault on the rights of fellow citizens. “Preparatory to prosecution, the police have been directed to immediately arrest, interrogate the signatories to the statement and investigate all the circumstances and persons that may be implicated in the matter” he said. |
