Its time to vote a technocrat... a renowned businessman. Atiku has done justice to Nigeria through his philanthropy and service. We appreciate that , but we must understand he was Obj VP, and he is over 70yrs. Let's try something new... PETER OBI/ JIMI AGBAJE 2019

lunatics everywhere

patriotic9jaboy:
This is to appeal to every southerners that our future is in our hands. A united south is what we need now to stand against northern oppression and divide and rule tactics. We must ensure we work together to restore power to the south by 2019. The north obviously has a grand plan of retaining power for so long and this is obvious in the way Tinubu is been put in check so as to limit his influence in the party decisions and made irrelevant in the scheme of things. We never expected such treatment from the north after all we did to support Buhari in the last election.



God bless SW /SS and SE

Young man, the fact that the south has to unite to wrestle power from the north is not just true but also necessary. The south need to wrestle this power and also restructure the country in order to make sure that in the future no single region can hold the country to ransome. But the SW must come to terms with the fact that GEJ performed, he built roads, schools, airports, hospitals, even YouWin. The economy boomed under him. He consolidated our democracy. He didn't not fight corruption fiercely probably because of his temperament, but also remember that we learnt about this corruption because he signed the FOI bill into law.

The truth is that the SW followed their leader who made a wrong calculation, if you guys come to terms with this fact then we can iron out the way forward. I also strongly suggest that BAT shouldn't limit his bridge building in the SW because SW alone can't save him from what is coming.

He is the first American President-elect never to have served in Military or held any public office prior to being elected.

This is very true. Unfortunately they don't care about that, all that matters is power. Power is supposed to be a means to and end(in this case development) but so far so good it has been an end in itself to the northerners

Neyoor:





Young Man, Civil War has come and gone into extinction. Truly, we might be suffering from the aftermath of it but it is bygone and it is impossible to expunge the past.


Isn't it even funny to subscribe to the notion that a war for unification that was won in the past is the cause of today's imbroglio?


The earlier we understand that we need ourselves for mutual greatness, the earlier we forget the past and work to ensure a better country for all.

That has been the problem, the war was fought for unity but unity never been born from war... you can conquer a people and rule over them but you can only unite a people by idealogy.

Op stop all these symptom treatment. Nigerians are divided because of the CIVIL war, That is the sickness we need to treat not the symptoms (which include but not limited to hating each other). Nigeria have to come to face this facts, apologies tendered, amends made, a new reliable constitution which reflect the will of the people adopted, qouta system set aside and merit given a chance etc. Until then we will always remember and profess our tribe.

Anambra has built a reputation of not borrowing, this is not entirely good. There is no where in the world where govt provide necessary growth infrastructure without borrowing (except Arabian golf countries). Anambra need to embark on capital intensive project that will not only stimulate growth but bring returns on investments.

A project like an international cargo airport will be a game changer for the state. A project like this will generate funds and bring businesses to the state. A railway line from Onne seaport would also change a lot of things. Its obvious the FG don't care, so its time for the state to fend for it self.

Obiano is obviously working hard trying to turn agriculture into a profitable venture and I commend him for that but make no mistake Anambrarians are not farmers, trading/manufacturing is our comparative advantage and we must exploit that fully.

Ambode was recently abroad canvassing for loan to build another seaport in badagry. Anambra need to key into such projects.

God bless the Light of the Nation

Erisco foods relocate to China 1500 workers to lose jobs as Erisco foods relocate to China ON NOVEMBER 2, 20169:56 AMIN NEWSCOMMENTS By Jimoh Babatunde Over 1500 employees of Erisco Foods limited are about losing their jobs as the company has begun the process of winding up its tomatoes paste factory in the country sequel to relocating to China.

The Company’s President, Chief Eric Umeofia, who announced the plan Tuesday in Lagos, said they are being forced to take the decision due to the refusal of the Central Bank to allocate FOREX to them for importation of raw materials as well as collaboration between some government agencies and importers from Asia to flood the market with substandard paste. “It is saddening and painful that we have started the process of relocating our factory out of the country, thereby forcing us against our wish to create jobs in foreign lands due to the evil and wicked desires of unpatriotic Nigerians who frustrate every effort we have made to create jobs in the country and earn foreign exchange.”

It will be recall that the Wife of the President, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, in February this year inaugurated the company’s N4 billion tomato paste processing plant that can process 450,000 tonnes of tomatoes in Oregun, Lagos State. According to Umeofia, the idea of the new plant was borne out of the need to resolve the glut in the tomato products from farmers, particularly in the northern part of the country, who are losing about 75 per cent of their produce due to the absence of storage or processing facilities. While disclosing that it will be taking the company about six months to complete move its factories out of Nigeria, Chief Umeofia said “CBN refused to give us approval till date to use our own deposit of USD460, 000.00 generated from our foreign operations, but the same CBN approves Nigeria’s scarce FOREX to other companies to continue to import sub standards products into the country.” He added “CBN refused to give us FOREX to import machineries, machine spare parts and raw materials to be used for processing of Nigeria fresh tomatoes into tomato paste in our Lagos factory.
In addition, CBN refused to give us enough intervention funds after several promises to import agricultural tractors, improved tomato seedlings, fertilizer, and chemicals for our Katsina Project. Umeofia said it is regrettable that the same CBN approved intervention loan and FOREX to companies mostly owned by foreigners to import finished tomato paste at cheaper rate and other items like frozen fish and other items that can be produced in Nigeria. “Recently, USD 15.1 million was allocated to an Indian company among others in one bidding at the exchange rate of N280.00 to a dollar and the CBN claimed it was for future contract, while, Erisco Foods is running its big company with FOREX sourced from parallel markets at the exchange rate of over N450.00 to a dollar.”” Chief Umeofia said they expected the government to place a ban on the importation of tomatoes paste into the country as they did in banning importation of cement and fruit juice, but regretted that that was not done. He added that the company with over 2, 000 workers has the capacity to meet all the tomato needs of Nigeria and even export if they produce at full capacity. “But since inception, we have been producing fewer than 20% because of dumping of substandard products by Indians, Chinese and some unpatriotic Nigerians.” The Erisco Foods’ boss noted that the tactical supports given by some government agencies to importers of sub standards tomatoes paste into the country is forcing them to close their factories and join the importers to flood the market with finished goods as they have lost over N3.6 Billion due to dumping of finished products in the past. “We have over N6billion of finished products not sold due to the activities of nefarious activities of importers and over N13 billion of raw materials in our warehouses. Also, our foreign supplier bills for collection line worth over US$20m were cancelled due to CBN frustration.””

mulattoclaroo:
God bless you my brother. I'm a Bini man and my grandfather told me the atrocities these people committed on Benin soil. Edo was never part of the proposed biafra but yet they invaded Edo and looted our CBN. They'll never tell you that part but are always quick to play the victim card.

They invaded Edo and looted your CBN. Asaba was Nigeria(not Biafra), yet Nigeria soldiers killed them in there hundreds. Even killed those that came to show solidarity with the soldiers.

“I looked around and I saw machine guns all around us. Some of them were also carrying automatic rifles. One of them shouted an order, and they started shooting.”

With these chilling words, Ify Uraih describes how the massacre of hundreds of innocent civilians began in Asaba more than 40 years ago. Here we document how this terrible event unfolded, why it is important, and why the people of Asaba now demand recognition. It started on October 4, 1967, when Nigerian federal troops entered Asaba, the Niger River town that was then part of Nigeria’s Midwest Region. The war over the secession of the predominantly-Igbo Eastern Region, renamed Biafra, had broken out in July; in August, the Biafran army had advanced across the Niger Bridge and progressed through the Midwest, headed for Lagos. Federal troops counter-attacked, pushing the Biafrans back across the Niger at Asaba. The Biafrans blew up the Onitsha end of the bridge, leaving the Federal Second Division, commanded by Col. Murtala Muhammed, on the Asaba side. Asaba, although ethnically related to the Eastern Igbo, remained part of Nigeria, and supported the government’s ideal of a multi-ethnic “One Nigeria.” As Wole Soyinka wrote in 1972, the Midwestern Igbo, caught between their desire to remain part of the federation and their identity with Eastern cousins, became “the most vulnerable Nigerians.” Asaba had a long tradition of high education, producing a disproportionate number of professionals and high-ranking civil servants, who had contributed to a sense of allegiance to a united Nigeria, and trust that Federal troops would behave appropriately. Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, had issued a military Code of Conduct, so when troops arrived, the townsfolk were unprepared for what followed.

Soldiers occupied the town, and began killing civilians (mainly boys and young men) accused of Biafran collaboration. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, were killed in the next three days, some apparently randomly, while others appeared to be targeted. Stanley Okafor, then a university student, described how he and several relatives were summoned by troops: “we got to the police  station and there was a huge crowd. And then they would come around and they would say do you know Mr. X, Mr. B, and do you know his house? They had names they wanted to kill. And once in a while they’d pick someone from the crowd, go to the back and you hear gunshots. And the crowd would wail.” Patience Chukwura, a young mother expecting her fourth child, saw her husband Eddie gunned down near the police station, along with his brother, Christian: “That made me hysterical. I held onto the soldier and said, ‘Why did you kill my husband?’ The man, with the butt of the gun, hit me on the chest and said, ‘woman, if you’re not careful, you’ll get killed as well.’ We feared they were going to wipe out everybody in Asaba, especially male children.” Troops invaded homes, demanding money, executing men and boys, and abducting women, often before setting the houses ablaze. The streets were littered with corpses. Patrick Okonkwo recalled that his compound was crowded with extended family members, when soldiers entered and shot his two brothers, a cousin, and two other relatives. His father buried them in shallow graves in the compound. On October 7, in hopes of avoiding more violence, Asaba leaders summoned everyone to gather to show support to the troops by making a pledge to One Nigeria. Hundreds of men, women, and children assembled, dancing and singing. According to survivors, as the parade reached a major junction, troops removed women and young children, and directed men and boys into an open area.

s the crowd began to realize what might be happening, panic grew, as Peter Okonjo explained: “Women who came with their sons were removing their skirts and blouses to disguise them. And I looked at the whole place, there is nowhere to escape.” Ify Uraih was 13 years old, and had joined the parade with his brothers and father. He described how the officer in charge, identified by several witnesses as Ibrahim Taiwo, gave the order to open fire, and the massacre began: “Some people broke loose and tried to run away. They shot my brother in the back. The rest of us just fell down on top of each other. And they continued shooting, and shooting, and shooting. I don’t know how long it took; after some time there was silence.” Hundreds died; survivors report climbing from among heaps of bodies when the soldiers finally left hours later. Ify Uraih survived, but his father, Robert, and brothers Emma and Paul were dead. His brother Medua was shot multiple times, but survived. Between 500 and 800 were murdered, in addition to many from previous days, and many people fled the town. Although there is no firm death count, our research suggests that more than 1,000 died at the hands of the troops during October.  Most were buried in mass graves, without observing requisite practices, and the town was destroyed, with most of the houses looted and burned. The long-term impacts of these tragic events were profound; many extended families lost multiple breadwinners, and the town’s leadership was decimated. Survivor accounts and reports by relief agencies show that Asaba remained in dire straits until the war’s end, most inhabitants having fled or subsisting in refugee camps. Soldiers assaulted and abducted women and girls with impunity. The destruction was so complete that Asaba disappeared from the official roll of Nigerian towns in 1969. The atrocities at Asaba remained virtually absent from the published record, and have largely remained unacknowledged. A major reason was lack of media coverage at the time. Of course Biafra became world-famous, but its public, international narrative developed after the retreat of the Biafrans across the Niger, after which the federal government imposed a blockade, effectively starving the East into submission, and searing the images of emaciated children into the international memory of the War. This contrasts with the lack of attention in 1967, when the Midwest people suffered most. The Federal government suppressed accounts of military action against civilians in the Midwest, and the international media were carefully managed. The 1967 massacres received almost no press coverage at the time. In later historical accounts, the Asaba events, if mentioned at all, are usually dismissed as aberrant or unproven. In 2001, some Asaba survivors testified to the Nigerian Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission (HRVIC, or Oputa Panel), commissioned by President Olusegun Obasanjo, and charged to consider the history of human rights abuses from 1966 to May 1999, of which civil war events were part. The Asaba accounts were included in the Ohaneze Petition, presented by Barrister Chuck Nduka-Eze, and drawing on earlier research by Emma Okocha, as well as testimonies recorded in 1969. The HRVIC’s report was never officially released, although it is now available on the internet. Obasanjo declined to offer formal apologies, although in a landmark moment, Gowon publicly apologized to the people of Asaba in 2002, opening the door to further efforts at truth and reconciliation. After the Oputa Panel, Asaba leaders formed a committee to develop a memorial process, seeking an academic partnership to research the history of the event objectively. We responded, and with the support of our university’s Holocaust and Genocide Studies Center, have been researching the events of 1967 and beyond. Our work is based on an array of sources, including archival collections on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as videotaped interviews with almost 80 people. Most are direct witnesses and survivors, while others testified about the long-term impacts on Asaba. They were interviewed in several locations – Asaba, Lagos, Ibadan, Benin City, and the United States, and their stories produce a compelling, detailed, and consistent account of the atrocities that befell their town.
Our research has produced several interrelated conclusions. First, it shows that the killings in Asaba were unprovoked, and stemmed directly from a chain of events that started before the war, continuing through the Biafran offensive across the Niger, which stirred up simmering ethnic hatred that had previously resulted in violence toward Igbos. This fueled the undisciplined actions of the counter-attacking federal troops against Nigerian civilians. Second, although the Federal authorities worked hard to suppress the news, people fleeing Asaba spread the word, and the killings of large numbers of people of Igbo ethnicity bolstered Biafran claims that the war was one of genocide. This helped steel the Biafrans’ resolve to continue the eventually hopeless war, and so represents a pivotal moment that directly contributed to the progress of the conflict. More broadly, the Asaba killings raise issues that go beyond the tragedy of one community. The war has left a bitter legacy; many today argue that the violence and ethnic hatred endemic in contemporary Nigeria are partly attributable to an institutionalised unwillingness to come to terms with it. Thus the Asaba events are instructive because they provide a vivid case study of the unresolved consequences of ethnic tension and state violence which have created barriers to reconciliation. Today, our work suggests it is time to “recalibrate” the nation’s collective memory, putting Asaba’s fate in its rightful place as a key event in the Civil War. Martina Osaji, who dragged the body of her father Leo Isichei from among the dead, speaks for many in Asaba:  “There is nothing you can do to replace my father — no amount of compensation.  I would rather have my father and my other relations. But I want the world to know this happened; that’s the only way we can remember them. God knows why I had to survive—for me to have a story to tell. And that is why I’m telling you now.” Thus the people of Asaba rightfully demand an acknowledgment of the sacrifices they made while expressing support for Nigerian unity. And they also wish to use their experience as a way to open dialog and invite reconciliation – so important in this Nigerian Centenary Year. Our research shows that wartime atrocities are complicated. For instance, several survivors recalled that amid the brutality, individual Federal officers and soldiers stepped in to prevent violence and protect civilians. Some, notably a Captain named Matthias, are remembered in Asaba for their actions, as they rose above the horror being inflicted – warning people to escape, shielding civilians, or even spiriting whole families out of town. Such stories show that good may transcend ethnic hostilities, and can offer opportunities for moral reflection. It is important to acknowledge the horrors of history; accounts of “upstander” soldiers help us understand our common humanity, making repetition of evil less likely. We are documenting all our research on our project website: www.asabamemorial.org, where readers may find a short video based on our interviews, our longer academic articles, and information about the ongoing research. We invite readers to peruse our work, consider how much Asaba is owed, and reflect on ways to avoid such horrors in the future.

mpowa:


At least they know that Dasuki Confessed, Koro confessed, and one and only PEJ confessed - Those are from the horses' mouth not media

So who among these people has been convicted?

bakynes:

Your argument is not what the issue is about. The igbo scholar is countering FFK's submission of Yoruba's been the first graduates in various fields.

The submission is not abt Igbos now topping results in Jamb, WAEC etc.

To me if Yoruba's first encountered the British before the rest of other tribes and the Western region was the first to declare free education,built the first Nigerian University then it's most likely that they produced the most first graduates in various fields more than other Nigerian tribes.

But you chose to turn a blind eye to the fact that Igbo happened to be pioneer indigenous Vice Chancellors in the Yoruba universities.

Lemme give you a yardstick to measure with... go to any University in southeast you will find out that 90% of the students are Igbo. Then go to Unilag, OAU, even LASU, you will find Igbos constituting up to 30% and even more in Unilag. Do the maths.

One thing is certain, nobody loves PMB more than Aisha. She must have tried her best to get to her husband only to be frustrated out. All these people around PMB are just grabbing as much as they can, all selfish interest. When you flog your child, it's not out of hate but because of love. Aisha wanted to get the husband's attention to the reality on ground, and history will remember her for that.
PMB is the one that needs a letter not Aisha.

Did the interview in Lagos, got the training invitation, but yesterday I got a mail saying the training has been postponed? anybody with me?

Hello, did interview last week at MPI, since then no news from them. if you have received any communication from them please indicate.

I applied for Supply, did my digital interview about a week ago but no response till now. Hope they are preparing my success mail

What if I tell you Tinubu might be planning a new party or even a move to PDP before 2019. Make no mistakes Tinubu is not getting what he bargained for in APC, and the Tinubu I know is seriously brainstorming!!

The truth is that people are all rushing to criticize BREXIT, what we have seen so far is simply the initial shock born out of skepticism of business player. I strongly think people are all too fast in judging post-BREXIT England. Make no mistake the future of England lies with the inhabitants and they chose to leave EU, they have their plans, they can still reinvent themselves to retake the world like they did in the 20th century. For the records the stocks has stabilized and the conservative leaders are already jostling to take positions.

Finally, The APC came to Nigerians with so much promises, We gave them a chance, over one year and things have gone from bad to worst yet the are asking for MORE TIME, we must give England MORE TIME to prove her choice was right.

Pls... Somebody tell Fulani herdsmen to stay off Pls... Somebody tell Fulani herdsmen to stay off

same old stories... it is obvious this man has ear problem.. and what about restructuring the country to strengthen unity. Restructuring will restore trust and will encourage merit rather mediocrity and that in itself will create enabling environment for growth.

Any news on the rescheduling... I applied for rescheduling and it was acknowledged.. but no new date yet

I dont Know about Fashola but Peter Obi kept the promise even to his last day in office, interestingly Obiano is still keeping the promise...

omenka:
The lull in developmental activities that characterise second "termers" in Government Houses across the country, regardless of their political party, is really unfortunate. The only governor I've seen that kept the pace, back to back, is Fashola. Former governor of Benue state, Senator George Akume did perform well also, but handed over to a criminal who plundered the state for a good six years (I said six because there were some noticeable things he did in the first two years of his two terms admin).

This trend is encouraged by the fact they don't "need our votes anymore" but that of their constituents to run for the Senate (which is where they all want to go after 8years). This was the reason why I saw some merit in the 7years single tenure proposal. But God forbid we make a bad choice and have to live with it for 7 gruelling years!

EazyMoh:
Born-to-rule born-to-rule born-to-rule!
It is PDP southerners that always use that adjective to describe us. In our arguments, our campaigns, our ideals we never claim we are superior than anyone from any tribe. We all know those who claim to be the Lord's chosen people, the most special Africans and so on and so forth.
We only boast of one thing and one thing only, which is our population size.
FFK kept mentioning core north leaders core north leaders core north leaders! who are these core north leaders? He conveniently factored out some prominent northerners first by claiming they are from middle belt, but when next he decides to write another article he would claim North rule Nigeria for 39 years.
Playing ethic religious and/regional sentiment is a failed theory in modern Nigerian politics as witnessed by FFK and his PDP gang during the last election. If FFK likes he should keep trying hard to bring biased historical events in order to pitch southerners against PMB's government for one reason and one reason only, that PMB is a core-northerner, but I assure you. Nigerians are now very wise to follow that line of reasoning.

Boasting of your population and imposing your tribesman because you have the population is in itself ethnic!. Furthermore in the last election I think APC and GMB played the ethnic card more than anyone else, I was serving in Garko LGA in Kano and PDP supporters were hounded and chased out of town, they were made outcast even in their town, they actually left town or joined APC and APC leaders I believe encouraged that. We heard all the talks about Power returning to the north, infact there were nice shirts with "North 2015" being worn by many notherners not to talk of local music. So dear you need to do soul searching too

S!lly bloggers, there was no region called "Biafra" before the 1967 pronouncement, our present day Gulf of Guinea in part was called "Bight of Biafra". Biafra was adopted as a name for mostly south easterners in 1967.





The last legitimate assembly that existed in the east was dissolved in 1966 as a fall out of the coup of the 5 majors, there was no existing assembly let alone one to issue any mandate to Ojukwu, recall that no member of the so called assembly was represented in the Aburi conference where ojukwu proposed confederation as his solution for peace.
How could they have mandated Ojukwu to declare what they were not privy of? some unscrupulous historians have written series of fallacies to give legitimacy to Ojukwu's struggle by making it seem like a unanimous agreement, I don't blame you much because you are likely a victim of their lies.
The resistance Ojukwu met in the hands of our present Niger delta points to the fact that there was "NEVER" a unanimous agreement to declare Biafra.






Perceptions/feelings of a group of people or individuals can not be peddled as a fact, Igbos (Biafrans by extension) felt that the North was favored by the British but they quickly forgot that there was an election were several positions were justled for, secondly, Igbos had adequate representation in government at the time so people like us consider those perceptions as immaterial.






The Aburi conference was where both sides came to a round table to iron issues out and chart a way forward, first, Biafra had only ojukwu and his secretary as their representative while the Nigerian side had 31, including the 21 members of the supreme military council and people who make up our present day FEC.
With this arrangement, Ojukwu's demands was NEVER agreed upon by a vast majority of Biafrans, recall that the Governor general at the time was an Igbo man yet Ojukwu in his infinite wisdom chose to exclude him and presented his phoney demands alone.
Even at that, gowon did not completely renege on the Aburi terms, immediately he returned, he drafted decree 8 which i am sure most of you have no idea that decree 8 accommodated about 90% of Ojukwu's Aburi phoney demands.
the only part Ojukwu disagreed with was where decree 8 states that when necessary, the FG can declare a state of emergency which automatically will suspend the governor, Ojukwu felt it was a plot by Gowon to remove him as governor installed by his igbo Brother Aguiyi ironsi. In a nut shell, the Aburi accord failed largely because ojukwu was unreasonable.
If he accepted the terms of decree 8, there will be no need for any Biafra and the senseless war that ensued....that is the fact I am aware of!!





This is not a statement of fact, it is only an individual wearing an Igbo lens will make such allegation. recall that the mandate which empowered Gowon to create those 12 states was the famous decree 34 promulgated by Aguiyi Ironsi from the eastern region, are you implying that Aguiyi wanted to weaken his region? as a matter of fact, if Ironsi had lived another 6 months, he would have created the states himself.
The northern region was balkanized into 5 states, the west 4 and the East 3. going by your statement the north was more weakened than any other region.
Rightly put the states were created to weaken all the regions not necessarily the eastern region.





It was a war everyone got help, Ivory coast helped Biafra so did gabon etc, outside the "Ogbunigwe" (Biafran improvised explosive) I am not privy to any other ingenious "invention" of the Biafrans, I understand clearly that necessity brings innovation however, i do not think that modifying existing war relics to fit for purpose is an invention.





Hunger started after Biafran lost Bonny, Calabar then rivers to Nigeria being their access to the sea that should be in the 12th or 13th month not the entire 30 months.

For the records twisting facts and history is not the way forward with the biafra issue... i dont know where you got your information that 31 people attended aburi accord, anyways here is the list of those in attendance.

Chairman of the Ghana National Liberation Council -Lt.-General J.A. Ankrah-Chairman
Lt.-Col. Yakubu Gowon- Head of State
Lt.-Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu - Governor Eastern Region
Major Mobolaji Johnson - Governor Lagos State
Lt.-Col. Hassan Katsina - Governor Northern Region
Lt.-Col. David Ejoor - Governor Mid-Western Region
Commodore Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey - Vice President of Nigeria
Colonel Robert Adebayo - Governor Western Region
Alhaji Kam Selem
Mr. T. Omo-Bare
Others as follows:

N. Akpan Secretary to the Military Governor-East
Alhaji Ali Akilu Secretary to the Military Governor-North
D. Lawani Under Secretary, Military Governor's Office-Mid-West.
P. Odumosu Secretary to the Military Governor-West
S. Akenzua Permanent Under-Secretary-Federal Cabinet Office

You are right about decree 8 but if you were in Ojukwu's shoe would you have accepted the inclusion of the power to declare state of emergency and suspend a sitting governor of a semi-autonomous state And most importantly why would Gowon include that even when it was not part of the accord. In simple English Gowon broke the accord by including that which in essence means changing the terms of the agreement.

Finally if the FG is sure about it self and its commitment to the biafra people, why not put it to test? let there be a referendum, if the SS opts out, the SE will go alone or may be Nnamdi Kanu will find out igbos love Nigeria. UK gave Scotland a chance why is Nigeria not giving Biafran a chance That should be the question not you wailing about what was ingeniously invented during the war
