TRADEMARK:
Weak man, John Legend wannabe , always using her in most of his music videos, that should suggest to everyone that she is an attention seeker and blackmailer. She didn't remember the rape story during the Jonathan Era when they are regular visitors to the Villa by virtue of Timi being a Bayelsa man, now the tide has turned and they can hardly afford the luxurious lifestyle they are used to and possibly might have sold the Benz, Jeep and posh cars they were driving. Meanwhile church business rarely dwindle in business regardless of the government in power , hence their decision to blackmail Fatoyinbo to get some slices from him through Propaganda , Media trial, few court appearance and finally out-of-court settlement, at least to survive . The couple forgot that this guy used to be the Chief priest of the dreaded 7 fraternity, he is smarter than them and of course has the wherewithal to finally make them look like the foolish couple they actually are.

Until the constitution is amended and make it mandatory for every political office holders to send their children to schools in 9ja, our educational system can NEVER move forward. Either you are rich to send them abroad or not. Let them school at a public institution. That way more attention would be focus on the quality of our institutions.

Congrats to the young champ.

I know this girl when she was sick, I'm from same town with her in Anambra . The family members tried all they could to go public and seek justice for what the slapping senator did to their daughter but for the fact that the internet wasn't strong like it is now then; their voice was not heard. So i can confirm the authenticity of the story.

FreeBiafra2018:
The aim of their movement is contradictive .
Any Igbo youth that is not working towards restoration of Biafra is a counterfeit.

ManirBK:
I totally support the government of Taraba State on this one. Other States should do the same. What annoys me about kidnappers is that the politicians stealing our collective wealth are not being kidnapped. It is innocent and struggling Nigerians that are suffering in their hands.

wink2015:
WITH ALL THIS KILLINGS THAT IS GOING ON MOSTLY IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF NIGERIA.

THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD BE AT THE FOREFRONT IN CALLING FOR RESTRUCTURING.

THEY SHOULD DEMAND FOR STATE POLICE.

Ekpeitit:
Finally we have an intelligent Igbo man.
Yes,politics is a game of loyalty and reward,you support, you win ,you get something.
You don't support, you lose,you get nothing.
Only an Igbo man will expect to get Senate Presidency from a party they didn't vote for,a party they don't even like.
Funny how the Igbos think they are very smart but they are actually the most stupid tribe in Nigeria.
In 2023 they will do the same thing, vote for the wrong party again but expect to get all the juicy appointments after losing the election.
MUMU PEOPLE.

greymiles:
I thought they eat human flesh in calabar and surrounding towns before

Ayed44:
It was a honor. Some people criticized GEJ when he awarded GCON, an Honor essentially meant for vice presidents, to Dangote and Mike Adenuga.

Call one of this daughters-in-law for him that Baba is looking for whom to sleep with. Useless incest.

Time to ponder........

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

We have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023", they don't want us in the National Assembly".
Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has barely finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

All these guys below have all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu!!

See ya NL!

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo should be careful in his statements and stop making statements defamatory and indicting of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria in order not to put Nigeria in an avoidable tribal and religious crisis.
Baba is supposed to be an elder statesman by now.

You have to understand that cancer is a very complex ailment.

Benign breast tumors like fibroadenoma, breast calcifications and a host of others may not be diagnosed as cancer because in truth, they aren't exactly malignancies.

Yes, even with the most invasive biopsies. But all of that can change in just weeks. A patient's supposedly benign tumor could at the next exam become a stage four ductal invasive cancer. I've seen it happen a lot of times.

Now, I'm not saying it was what happened with Clara but it's a possibility.
