These are words on marble.

As much as i pray against war in Nigeria, everyday i see there is truly no way of avoiding a second civil war the way thing are going in Nigeria. The only thing is that this time, a lot more Nigerians will decide to fight for semi-independence autonomy to rule themselves than outright breakup of Nigeria.

A war will come to Nigeria at some point, but it will have different set of combatants from the first civil war.

I pity those Igbos still going into the far north to invest their life's savings. They will lose everything and unlike in the past, not even their fellow Igbos will pity them this time.

I think there will be no war.
I think this region trying to create this war will have a rethink because, Ecowas, African Union, British parliament etc are all have started taking practical steps to prevent it. Inside Nigeria, the divide line in war time now will be based on religious/regional divide and no more the sym metric Biafra vs Nigeria war, but asymmetric war....more like fulani herdsmen killings, government securities etra judicial killings(because they are nepotically...I mean the fulanis occupying the highest positions within the army, airforce and other government security agencies. Internet, social media, IPOB, all have done marvelous jobs in bringing Africa/the world to focus on Nigeria. Former US ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell now with the council on forign relations just released a book "NIGERIA; all you need to know about NIGERIA"....3 days a go. The election is right around the corner. I also think that I have started seing some signs...towards creating state police. So in a nutshell, all these signs indicate an asymmetric strategy that will not fulfil its agenda. "Nigeria will survive this".

saaron:
Terrorist at the corridors of power have recruited another fellow terrorist to continue the narrative that politicians are the ones behind plateau genocide. Since politics is everything to them, changing narratives grilled with lies about the real cause of genocide in middle belt is what Terrorist/murderers do hide their demonic agenda and confuse people. All of a sudden its no longer climate change or herdsmen from Libya. Its no longer anti open grazing law (According to Buratai and IG of Police) or 300 slaughtered cows. It's hitmen from Israel.
Let's see how the terrorist govt will solve "Plateau Genocide" with Grazing Colonies for terrorist herdsmen from Israel.

They are not even smart enough to come up with a reasonable figure. They had to stick to "300" hitmen from Israel. The original figure Miyetti Allah terrorist used to justify plateau massacre over slaughtered cows.

Bloody terrorist.

He should be ignored.

This is what's called disinformation & propaganda.

....But Nigerians have way passed that stage.

Nigerians for now see those who are killing them as secondary. The most crucial/critical issues in the minds of most Nigerians now is the attitude of the President who seems indifference towards the killings.

OMANBALA1:
I knew the fall of Nnamdi Kanu was imminent when people started bowing down for him...ego and pride is the fasted route to downfall.
Just like Odumegwu Ojukwu that drag Ndigbo to a war he knew he had no chances of winning but pride wont let him. He wanted to show Gowon he is more educated and from an affluent background. Ndigbo are so dumb they didnt even know why the war was fought ...The war war to prove to Gowon that the ALMIGHTY IKEMBA NNEWI AND EZE IGBO GBULU-GBULU is superior to Gowon. He lead an unprepared people to war and not only brought death but untold hardship that we are still suffering today.

Most of these Ipob members are block heads raving with unbridle emotions. I thought Nnamdi Kanu was gonna give them history lessons just to keep them informed and aware but he was to busy enjoying his brief kingly status. I hate IPOB and everything they stand for because they sound dumb as hell.
I will equally laugh at them when Yorubas mock them because they dont want to listen to my teachings.

....So even with all these killings, genocide on Christians, nepotism of the highest order, etc...you still haven't figure out that the war was forced on you unprepared?.

SSGN:
In 2014 Sudanese President said the CIA and Mossad, which by extension means the United State, was behind Boko Haram, we all thought he was crazy. Today the Pentagon has deployed thousands of U.S troops to Africa as part of the Pentagons strategy to train and advice regional forces. The United States has been conspicuously absent in Africa for over a decade. Africa, the Hopeless continent as the Economist said, was not seen as a strategically vital to U.S interests. That is, until the Chinese moved in.

In recent years we have seen a disguised pivot to Africa on the part of the United States. The United States, a country near economic bankruptcy with ballooning debts has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars in Africa in recent times.

Nigeria is America’s 4th largest supplier of crude oil, accounting for eleven percent of all U.S oil imports, and this is not just any crude. Nigerian bonny light crude is attractive because of the ease of refinement. The United States has invested a lot in Nigeria. They have invested so much in the oi and gas sector and they need to protect that investment. In Iraq America spent trillions of dollars and young American blood and billions in rebuilding the country’s infrastructure, only to have the Chinese and Iranians secure lucrative oil and infrastructural contracts, with American companies losing out.

China’s economic influence in Africa, especially in infrastructural developments is the real reason for U.S troop expansion in Africa. Its not to bring democracy or help the local populations, but to protect American interest. There is a new scramble for Africa, particularly between France and the United States on one hand and China on the other. To put things into perspective, the United States Navy operates its only permanent overseas naval base on the African continent at Camp Lemonnier in Ambouli on the southern side of Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport.

Then in August 2017 China opened its very own first oversea military base in Dbouti, effectively expanding China’s military projection capabilities in the Indian Ocean. Unable to match China economically the United States will use its military might if need be to protect her interest. In the space of just two years the United States has built four drone bases in West Africa. Each of these drone bases costs $100 million. America’s second drone base in Agadez, Niger Repoublic was recently completed in March to the tune of $200 million.

The U.S is borrowing massively to rebuild its infrastructure and there are signs it may raise the deficit to records high, that’s over $16 trillion in debt.Will a cash strapped America spend $1 Billion in three of the poorest and least developed countries in Africa just to help these dictatorial regimes monitor Boko Haram?


Unfortunately the U.S is able to get away with this because the American populace are basically ignorant. Most Americans don’t see the U.S as imperialistic, but that’s because most Americans are asleep in the snow. They are clueless, and their understanding of U.S foreign policy is in the level of seven-year olds.

The incredibly inept and corrupt government in Nigeria and the resultant social upheaval has provided the United States with a legitimate reason to come to the most resource rich region of the continent. The constellation of American drone outposts around Nigeria should keep the Nigerian government up and night.

Camp Lemonear, north of Somalia has been America’s main military facility on the continent for nearly a decade. It houses about 4,000 military and civilian personnel. But in 2014 it was forced to stop flying drones in the area after a string of crashes and growing anger from locals.

Just listen to the excited remark of John Kerry  : :




But whats not so exciting is the astronomical growth of Jihadist and other militant groups on the continent. Thousands of American soldiers are gearing up for missions in Africa as part of the Pentagons new strategy to train and advice a African militaries to deal with the threat they created after they destroyed Libya and stood by and watched as Gadaffis vast armoury was looted and distributed to various extremists groups, chief among them ISIS and Boko Haram. It’s certainly not exciting for the two million Nigerians displaced from their homes by Boko Haram armed and equipped via proxy by the West.

The Americans have failed to combat terrorism in A-STAN or anywhere else. Their presence in West Africa will only bring more terrorists to the region. The most tragic thing is that we have ECOWAS countries laying down the red carpet for the United States and France to turn the region into a military warehouse. There is no sorrier case than the case of Ghana. A country so addicted to competition with Nigeria, its been blinded by its lovehate relationship with Nigeria and has effectively ended Ghana’s neutrality in the global power chess game.

Ghana, traditionally a docile country thinks this is an opportunity to be a good friend of the United States, maybe attract some investments. In their ignorance they fail to realize they risk losing an awful lot. Nigeria’s concern about the militarization of West Africa has fallen on deaf ears, this indicates Nigeria’s dwindling diplomatic influence.

The question Nigerians should ask themselves is this. How does a terrorist organisation manage to surface practically overnight, which is capable of committing terrorist attacks on a scale that sees them relegate ISIS to second place as the deadliest terrorist group the world has ever seen. Where do they get the weapons and knowhow from to make bombs and improvised devices? and most importantly who is going to benefit from the destabilization of Nigeria, a country with the 10th largest proven oil reserve in the world.?..and what terrorist organization carries out its first suicide bombing attack on a United Nations building?

There is no doubt that the CIA, and by extension the United States and France are responsible for the creation of Boko Haram as part of a U.S destabilization campaign against Nigeria. As far back as 2009 the CIA predicted a breakup of Nigeria by the year 2015 and even held wargames mimicking the scenario. What country spends millions of dollars carrying out military exercises in preparation for the breakup of another country?

The reason for the destabilization campaign is Nigeria’s increasing influence amongst West African states. After 40 years of military rule Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, modeling its system of government to that of the United States down to the architecture. Within a decade this once impoverished nation has grown exponentially to become Africa’s richest economy by a large measure. Nigeria’s very large and powerful military was tampered down with Nigerian soft power and culture in such a way that the tiny ECOWAS member states, while awed by Nigeria’s size and power had to reason to fear a potential Nigerian expansionist agenda, a trait very rare among powerful countries.

Nigeria’s growth has benefited ECOWAS member states. This remarkable progress, in contrast to Francophone states casted a bad light on France. It is an embarassment that the only remaining autocratic regimes and the poorest and least developed African states are all former French colonies.

Perhaps what the Franco-American alliance feared more was Nigeria’s pervasive culture and ECOMOG. ECOMOG is Africa’s most successful military alliance. It was created by several ECOWAS member states for military support to be able to help each other in the case of crises or revolt and to prevent civil wars. This growing influence by Nigeria is not favoured by the strategic influence of the United States and France.

Most troubling to the U.S is Russia’s, North Korea and China’s increasing engagement with Nigeria in the economic and defence sphere. To forestall the rise of Nigeria the shadow government of the United States, utilizing the CIA began to take actions to check Nigeria’s rise before it became too powerful. The ineptitude and corruption of Nigeria’s leader made their job much easier.

A wikileaks document revealed that the U.S embassy in Nigeria has been used for destabilizing actions against the Nigerian States. This entailed the wire tapping and blackmailing of leading politicians, as well as the financing of rebel groups, with the largest of them being Boko Haram.

It is reported that Boko Haram has been receiving training and indoctrination for quite some time along the border with Niger, Chad and Cameroon. What do these countries have in common? They are all dictatorships. Idris Derby and Paul Biya have held onto power for 30 years and 37 years respectively. They all house American and French drone bases. They all have strategic military partnerships with these two countries.

Jobless and disguised northern youths were gathered and trained in these camps to be insurgents. The goal of the CIA, after studying Nigerian culture was to social unrest and strife along religious and ethnic lines so that by the time of the next elections in 2015 Nigeria will be divided so badly that inevitably the United States and France will have to come to an intervention. A divisive tactics we have already seen in Libya, Syria and Ukraine. The winner will be the USA, which will then contain the Chinese and Russian engagement in Nigeria, and secure Americas access to the oil and other raw materials in the country. We talking about 40 BILLION barrels in oil reserve worth an estimated $3 trillion USD.

Just three days before the 2015 elections, while rich and unpatriotic Nigerian celebrities were running to London (to escape what was to come), President Obama sent a detachment of 600 U.S Marines to Ghana, ready to move into Nigeria and evacuate Americans and other westerners trapped in Nigeria. Unfortunately they underestimated the resolve of Nigerians to stay united. Rather than civil war the election turned out to be the freest and most peaceful the nation has ever witnessed and the first peaceful transfer of power from an incumbent to the elected.

Fast forward today. The Nigerian military, thanks to Russian and Chinese weapons have managed to roll back Boko Haram advances, taken back all lost territories and pushed Boko Haram out of its impregnable fortress in the Sambisa forest. The Sambisa forest in itself has been turned into a shooting range for the Nigerian army and sporting competition. One would think that with the weakening of Boko Haram Nigeria’s socio-political climate would have cooled off to allow for reconstruction and development. Instead we are now faced with he spectre of another conflict borne along ethnic and religious lines, a conflict that threatens tobe more destructive than Boko Haram. All this is happening at a time of an increase in American presence in the region.

Its high time Nigerians really begin to examine precisely about the real motive when countries like the United States and France suddenly engage as super saviours in countries that are rich in raw materials. Nigerians should also examine the motive as to why French-speaking countries and relatively rich countries like Morocco, a country with an ego so big it moved out of the OAU and requested membership in the European Union, decides to join ECOWAS, a relatively unstable and impoverished region. Nigerians should also ponder the reason behind Tunisia’s bid, coming shortly after Morocco’s bid was approved.

Mr man listen and listen very carefully. Igbos have reached a higher level of political consciousness more than the other two groups that have being controlling Nigeria period.

It took the Biafran war, genocide, support of world powers in that war, massive migration and interaction through trade, mix marriages within Nigeria and outside Nigeria, engaging in illicit drug trafficking( paying the price through capital punishment around the world), being marginalised for decades that encourage migration to different part of the world, no sea port/ real international airport in the East and etc have earned the Igbos/ and led them to the light of understanding naturally the global geo-political calculations of world powers on Africa/black race. The Igbos learnt by force. The Igbos have developed world veiw( every developing country especially in Africa due to our huge natural resources, huge consumer class, the coming of China into trade and infrastructural space need world veiw and understanding of world politics). Igbos have deeper understanding that in Africa, the Western World creates problems, defines the problems and create solutions for the problems(heagelan dialectics) through military intervention. Igbos understand that the British per capita income of about £40000 and the world' strongest currency are not viable in an economy that doesn't export much....chaos anarchy and genocidal deaths in countries like Nigeria can only sustain that economy. China have risen and the battle to save the US dollar will destroy the countries with huge natural resources who have zombies in the helm of things who are incapable of reasoning. Nigeria can never never transform into a modern society, industrialized etc because they lack world veiw and are incapable of connecting it to their domestic realities. Thats why IPOB refer them as zoo or lugard contraction. Thats why an Igbo Innoson choose to dive into this sacred path....because of world veiw. Once the Chinese economy reaches a GDP of 16 trillion equal to that of US where the global reserve currency will tilt towards the yuan, and Chinese currency will stand tall as dollars, Africa will become a battle ground for extreme global power play.

Yoruba foolishness and envy and wanting to join forces with extremist North to destroy Igbos for decades have provided the US and her allies to trying to recolonize Africa or at list prevent China/Africa win win relationship into becoming a reality. Under Obama the US pivoted to the pacific South China sea where 100% of trade between China/Africa passes through. Jonathan government provided the crucial African vote in UN that saw U.S., France and Britain into libya knowing fully well that the weapons will flow southwards after the carnage.

Yorubas, your hatred for Igbos have consequences for yourself, the Country you love so much Nigeria and Africa.

Saao:
let him continue, I don't really blame but Nigeria

You know what I think guys,...(1). IPOB ceaseless campaign against Nigeria have started to take its tool on the Country.(2). Boko haram, fulani herdsmen genocidal campaign against some targeted groups have exposed the Country from the rear. (3). The music industry have made Nigeria extremely visible. (4). Nigerians intellectual prowess in every human endeavor have raised the world curiosity towards her.

Conclusion: I just hope, that the whole world don't come to judge Nigeria like the South Africans......because then, the world will discover that the group responsible for the tragedy that is Nigeria are "the sophisticated morons".

casualobserver1:
Moghalu cannot win a presidential election in Nigeria. The best he can hope for is VP to a "bolekaja" candidate that can connect to ggrassroots, CBN Governor or Minister of Trade and Investment.

It is just the sad reality because the man is a genius. This is someone that can manage the economy, but people like that cannot successfully navigate politics in environments like this because they cannot connect with the masses.

Is it market women or rural youths that can barely read that will connect with Moghalu? No way. Is it Almajiris that will stand in the sun for him? No way. That is the problem.

I think the guy is gunning for VP slot. Atiku with this man as VP will make sense because it looks like Soludo is nowhere to be found.

It is sad that someone like him cannot win but

Moghalu can win a presidential election in today's Nigeria where every Nigerian is craving/wailing for a rescuing change from a country that have failed them tragically for almost six decades. More packaging of his vision will probably see him win a powerful swing state like Kano where he started laying the foundation of his vision for a new Nigeria. If ordinary Nigerians and the local market women you alluded to can understand/feel misery and hardship in extreme poverty, they definitely will understand the difference each candidate can bring to the table by careful listening to them. Nigerian are not fools.

mctowel01:
.
Personally, I believe Sowore is the best candidate for presidency given our certain climate. Its not enough for someone to come with theoritical knowledge and expertise. I believe Nigeria needs more. We need a true leader and I ve observed one strong difference between a true leader and a mere motivational speaker. One has character which stands tests of trials. Prof Moghalu will undoubtedly make a good CBN governor/minister of finance/vice president. I really do not see him being bold enough to stand up to rots of corruption in our system. Afterall, wasnt he deputy cbn governor when politicians were giving slots to their kids in CBN via back doors?

Moghalu is light years ahead of Sowore. For 17 years under United Nations, he is being involved in rebuilding failed third world countries like Nigeria. He established a think tank org, dealing with the same critical issues as nation building. Sowore on the other hand is bringing a simple grass root approach to the critical issues of miss governance in Nigeria, but this is not enough for him to qualify above Moghalu truthfully. Foreign investors will trust Moghalu more than Sowore or Buhari due to his international exposure & intellect. To me, Moghalu epitomize that transformational force that will close the chapter on Nigerian gruesome tragic history of hell that is nigeria of today. Sowore do not have enough experience. Moghalu has the vision, world veiw, intellect, the philosophy and complex economic understanding to transform Nigeria from a third world economic status to that of a modern society within a decade. As a Nigerian, you own it to your self and your children to just youtube kingsley Moghalu and listen to him for your self.

Ever8054:
is that why you have to quote everything just to drop such a useless comment?

Honestly, Yorubas are the problem here. They have done Igbos evil through their partaking in genocide against Igbos and shawn no regret and eager to partake in another genocide by voting in buhari to destroy the Igbos. The worst is when Igbos want to pull away from their lagos/nigeria/their western region, it got them rattled and are willing to sacrifice their life to pull the Igbos back at the same time guide jealously to their own only advantage two major infrastructures( sea port/ international airport) that could have advanced faster development in the East. Complain, they call you children of hate etc.....but how can Igbos hate them at the same time they share in the love of Igbo womanhood through intermarriages(the highest # of intermarriages among Africans)??. Compare that to the genocidal, hateful extremist Hausa/fulani they suckle up to with less intermarriages compare with Igbos, you begin to question their sense of objective reasoning & rationality.

They are dangerous

They are epidemic to global peace

Are you sure you are not talking about bokoharam/fulani herdsmen??....

Osibanjo now you are praying for nigeria, when armless IPOB members were protesting for their inalienable right, you sent soldiers to murder them and hurriedly proscribed the group in a kangaroo arrangement, now that Armed bandits are killing, raping and chasing people out of their ancestral lands, you are praying.
Keep deceiving yourself and your gullible followers.
Hypocrite.

Perfect, perfect response!!.

E pay make man kuku marry warri or yenogoa girl than some beards gang. We go come dey compete who get beards pass. God forbid.

Is about time you Yorubas must value your overall relationship with Igbos above any other group in this world.......is priceless period. Igbos/Yorubas could have become like hausa/fulani by now because, we intermarry & intertrade(with most Igbos speaking and emulating Yorubas in dressing and etc), if it wasn't for Yoruba envy and hatred towards Igbos, which led into Yorubas participating in genocide against the Igbos bringing in permanent divide. The Igbo/ Yoruba union have brought beauty/economic prosperity to Africa( Nigerian entertainment/ lagos mega city) and to the world.

Blakjewelry:
finally a Nigerian life is worth an house fly

The millions and millions of Igbos killed during the civil war have open the flood gate of easy unabated killings in the Country. As more killings are piling up on top of previous killings, weapons of mass killings may suffice one day in other to keep the killing culture aflot.

PrettyCrystal:
Over 23 unidentified corpses were found inside a forest in Zurmi local government area of Zamfara state. According to reports, some of the bodies had their throats slit while others died of gunshots and no one could actually tell why they were killed as most of the victims were adults.

The bodies had already been buried.

The spokesman of the state police command SP Muhammad Shehu said the police got an information that bodies were seen in a forest in Zurmi local government area and they went there to ascertain the claim.

"Our team of operatives were there and they recovered the bodies. Descreet investigation has commenced in earnest and the perpetrators will soon be fished out," he added.

Zamfara has suffered series of deadly assaults by suspected armed bandits and cattle rustlers. Dozens of people were killed and a large number of properties destroyed in attacks on rural communities in the state.

I hope ffk the slowpoke is happy now, for he has already hoodwinked the international community into thinking this is about ethnic cleansing and killing Christians.

Mental? Some Nigerian Christians are so unfair for saying Christians alone are being killed.

This is simply a plot by the evil opposition and IPOb to dismantle the country and say nonsense
The jobless aggressive idiotic lazy evil mad pigs of Biafra and PDP will not go unpunished.

Change buhari and the violence will reduce to a management level. Osibanjo was in control for few weeks, the herdsmen killings went down and naira started to appreciate.

A Nigerian doctor identified as Valentine, has revealed how he felt working in the same hospital with his mother in the United states. The young man who works at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, Los Angeles, California - also revealed how his m,other introduced him to almost all her co-workers with pride and joy written all over her face.

He shared the rare 'mother-son working moment' on his Instagram page two days ago.

Below is what he wrote;

I got slammed all night at this ER last night but you wanna know what the highlight of it all was?Calling my Mom at 3am and finding out she's working the same shift, on the 4th floor. I had to endure her introducing me to every single one of her coworkers, but the joy written all over her face seeing her son literally at the same hospital has made my night.

-Have you ever worked side by side with your Mom? Man it's not everyday I get this opportunity. It's definitely a special feeling. She won't be working that much longer soon so I'll go ahead and cherish this small moment in time while it lasts.

The way Yorubas think and reason about nigeria/ buhari is frightening!.

Ijaya123:
Mere rants devoid of any verifiable & authentic facts, as usual. Baseless boasting is in some people' DNA. A sure sign of inferiority complex.

Yorubas are miles ahead of Igbos. Kiss the truth.

Verify what?. That Igbo per capita income is not higher than yoruba again?. All these "lets fill up the pages" positings doesn't change the facts that Igbos are still leading in most sectors like importation, commerce and industry, transportation, sports, beauty/fashion, education, diaspora remmitances, real estate, indigenous manufacturing. Should I continue?.

Typical Igbo loser.Nnamdi Azikiwe,the first graduate amongst the Igbos in 1930+ also deluded himself and his people that they had many educated people while the truth was he was the only and first Igbo graduate by which time Yorubas had produced doctors,lawyers,engineers etc while he was Igboland very 1st graduate .
Ojuku too deluded himself and the gullible Igbos that he had the best army in Africa even with his sticks wielding and patch patch deadbeat old world war weapons gifted them by France.
It is not a surprise to see another Ojuku saying that they have even half of the businesses owned by the hardworking Yorubas.Even the world knows you do not come close to the Yorubas in businesses home and abroad and this thread and the Igbo' empty,steal urhobo and other people's businesses' thread is an attestation of the ingenuity and versatile nature of the Yorubas.
Every index shows that you need a lot of catching up to do.

......For as long as Igbos are of extreme confidence of their socio-economic potential, and demanding to extricate themselves from you less confidence Yorubas, Igbos are above Yorubas in overall human endeavors. Is only natural for rich countries through their immigration laws to restrict poor people from migrating into their societies because they are better than those poor people, but here, Yorubas who are above Igbos in overall human endeavors are unity beggers with socio-economic advantages tilted towards them. Will they stand a chance with the Igbos if in reverse, the Igbos have the advantages of the major international airport, the major sea port and higher concentration of infrastructure??. Is not a level playing field and the Igbos are still winning.

Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace on Monday matched its pledge to always ensure gender equality with action, giving one of its female pilots, Sinmisola Ajibola command of its cockpit.

Sinmisola, who joined Air Peace in February 2017 as a Senior First Officer (SFO), made history as the airline’s first female captain. She is from a family of pilots - father and four brothers, three of whom are with Air Peace.

Presenting the new captain to the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema for decoration, the Chief Pilot, Capt. Victor Egonu said he predicted Sinmisola’s elevation on the first flight the latter did with him.

Wellington Eyimina and Chief Pilot, Capt. Victor Egonu, Onyema said he was proud of her achievement.

He urged the new captain to sustain her outstanding performance in and out of the cockpit.
He praised the airline’s pilots and their other Nigerian colleagues for displaying excellence in the cockpit as well as standing tall among their counterparts across the globe.

Onyema insisted that Air Peace caused a revolution in the nation’s aviation industry in the area of pilots’ benefits.
Air Peace currently has eight female pilots in its employ.

Women also occupy most of the top positions in Air Peace - from the Vice Chairman, Mrs. Alice Onyema to the Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief of Administration and Finance, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha, Head of Maintenance, Mrs. Maureen Udale-Ameh, Human Resources Manager, Mrs. Olubunmi Akano, Cabin Services Manager, Florence Opia, Airport Coordinator, Mrs. Clementina Ukonze, Head of Legal and Corporate Services, Paulynne Ikem, Planning and Production Manager, Mrs. Melodie Zotachi, Head of Procurement, Mrs. Obiageri Akano, Head of Monitoring and Compliance, Joy Imeli, Business Development Manager, Tracy Osakwe, Revenue Manager, Ihuoma Ukairo, acting Information and Technology Manager, Chidinma Anumaka and Training Coordinator, Mrs. Eira Gafar.

If Igbos and Yorubas(good ones) are in control of Nigeria politics as was Yorubas and hausa/fulani, Nigeria could have been transformed into a modern society long long time ago, but the Yorubas in most part choosed the dark path(hausa/fulani path).

Suspect33:
I just love the way the Igbos have distanced themselves from Nigeria's drama and politics, they might be right after all, Nigeria is not working

Igbos are great. They have the highest level of political consciousness in Nigeria today.There extensive travelling, engaging in commerce/trade, mixing/intermarring with other cultures in Nigeria/Africa/world wide have elevated their level of socio-political consciousness above Yorubas & others who are still stuck with "one Nigeria" nonsense. Biafra have its root in this elevated group consciousness that Nigeria's complexities are historical, foundational, structural with religious and ethnicity thrown into the mix. They understand the problems are systemic and not leadership per say unlike the Yorubas who see Nigeria problems from A to Z as leadership problem.

Lot13:
The daft evil seems to be docile cos of some unimaginable crime they have committed against the Nigerian people.

If only the number of people killed by the actions or inactions of the PDP government is visible for all to see, I'm sure you will see the evil genius as a lesser evil.

I still believe the looters of our common wealth who wants to come back to power at whatever it takes have a hand in these killings with the sole motive of making Nigeria ungovernable for this president and his team.

It's only a matter of time before the truth and those behind these dastardly acts are revealed.

You're a sub human ape period.

Even if all that you vomitted is true, what about your terrorist/jihadist/genocidist president innactions?.

OlufunkeAwoyale:
Reno Omokri is the aide of ex President Jonathan... During their regime, Boko Haram almost kill all Northern Nigerians, what did they do to stop the killings?
The politics of stupid criticism and blind condemnation coupled with hatred and hypocrisy playing by this man called Reno Omokri and his boss.
Nobody is happy with the killing but they are using the killings to get consideration attention from public...
This government is far better than the previous one.
I have confidence that this administration will put an end to the incessant killings and bring every evil perpetrators to justice.

Do you know you Yorubas are forever guilty of crimes against humanity by your slavish & blindly agreeing( with hausa/fulani) to all the genocides perpetrated in this country's history till date.

CilicMarin:
Let him forfeit the 300 Million Naira and then spend some time in Jail. Perhaps next time, he will think twice before standing as surety to a Criminal terrorist.

I spit on his pig head.

You really qualified the description by whites that some Africans are sub-humans & are incapable of reasoning....look around you,....here the news dog!.

Mandynews:
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the killing of 200 persons in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Plateau State.

He wrote;
"On Saturday, scores of Nigerians were reportedly murdered by armed men believed to be herdsmen in Barkin Ladi, Plateau.
On Sunday afternoon, in Jos, rioters attacked other Nigerians they believed to be Muslim in Jos, in apparent reprisal attacks.What is obvious from these attacks and the reprisals is that Nigeria is experiencing a historically abysmal failure of leadership.
When people don’t feel they are protected or given justice, they resort of self help, and innocent people lose their lives as a result.The security of lives & property is primary role of government & its time our FG takes its responsibilities seriously, by not just deepening security of these known conflict areas, but also reassuring all Nigerians that when people murder innocents, they are brought to justice.It is simply hypocritical that the ruling elite are able to provide world class security to themselves using tax payer money and public resources, yet leave the Nigerians who voted them at the mercy of armed bandits. It is enough!"

Atiku agenda is the same as with buhari/fulani agenda. Did anyone see how he tactically made it seems like the killings are both sided.

FortifiedCity:
The weekend was filled with news and events around the world. Some were delightful like Nigeria winning their match against Iceland while others were not good at all most notably the demise of Dbanj's son out of carelessness and the fulani invasion of plateau.

The fulanis have proven to be an enemy of diversity, civilization and peaceful co-habitation. Since buhari took over government and deliberately put them at the helm of affairs, it has been killings and killings and killings with no one asking serious questions or bringing the perpetrators to book. The truth is these people have an agenda to eliminate people who are not them all over the country. When I say Buhari is aware of these, some people will think I have personal issues with him.

Now this is not a case of farmer-herder clash, this is a deliberate wipe-off, it is ethnic cleansing. this is genocide in all its ramifications. The President is silent, the police is silent, the army is silent, the navy is silent, the customs is silent, NSCDC is silent. Practically all those we entrusted our safety into their hands are silent simply because, THEY SUPPORT THE CARNAGE. THEIR PLANS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED.

Buhari is seeking for re-election. That will the beginning of the strong-willed ending of the diversity of this country.

The south needs to wake up. BUHARI AND THE FULANIS DO NOT LIKE THE SOUTH AT ALL. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CONTROL OF EVERYWHERE. Be wise guys, be wise. God knows my problem with this country is bad leadership. I don't hate buhari, I hate his hypocrisy.

We need to stand and unite. If I have a problem with tinubu today, it's not him as a person, it's because his interest is what is most paramount to him and not you screaming your head off on the Internet. Therefore if he knows that buhari winning will bring him more dollars and power, forget it, he doesn't care if his neighbour is being maimed.

I have only one prayer, "MAY THE GOOD AND BAD OF VOTING BUHARI START WITH THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO WILL VOTE HIM IN 2019" AMEN

....but who put buhari in power?...Yorubas and their Tinubu and it looks like they are poised to do it again.

Yian1:
Shut up..I know people like you would talk nonsense. Even if we tell you the extremists and terrorists are not Muslims one billion times, your ignorance would not let you believe. Stop being an hypocrite, kid!
Change that bad mentality of yours or you need a brain transplant!

"My God", How dare you tryiny to convince an Eskimo to buy a refrigerator?. I know you don't Believe in evidences as they are abound all around you as to who are doing the killings from the onset of Nigerian history.

ProfDumbledor:
Each April and October, the World Poverty Clock data are updated to take into account new household surveys (an additional 97 surveys were made available this April) and new projections on country economic growth from the International Monetary Funds’s World Economic Outlook. These form the basic building blocks for poverty trajectories computed for 188 countries and territories, developed and developing, across the world.
The data highlight two new storylines about what is happening to global extreme poverty.
FIRST: EXTREME POVERTY IN TODAY’S WORLD IS LARGELY ABOUT AFRICA
According to our projections, Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extreme poor in early 2018, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could soon take over the number 2 spot (Figure 1 below). At the end of May 2018, our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty, compared with India’s 73 million. What is more, extreme poverty in Nigeria is growing by six people every minute, while poverty in India continues to fall. In fact, by the end of 2018 in Africa as a whole, there will probably be about 3.2 million more people living in extreme poverty than there are today.
Already, Africans account for about two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor. If current trends persist, they will account for nine-tenths by 2030. Fourteen out of 18 countries in the world—where the number of extreme poor is rising—are in Africa.

SECOND: IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE SDG 1 (ENDING POVERTY)
Between January 1, 2016—when implementation of internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) started—and July 2018, the world has seen about 83 million people escape extreme poverty. But if extreme poverty were to fall to zero by 2030, we should have already reduced the number by about 120 million, just assuming a linear trajectory. To get rid of this backlog of some 35 million people, we now have to rapidly step up the pace.
This notwithstanding, the fundamental dynamics of global extreme poverty reduction are clear. Given a starting point of about 725 million people in extreme poverty at the beginning of 2016, we needed to reduce poverty by 1.5 people every second to achieve the goal and yet we’ve been moving at a pace of only 1.1 people per second. Given that we’ve fallen behind so much, the new target rate has just increased to 1.6 people per second through 2030. At the same time, because so many countries are falling behind, the actual pace of poverty reduction is starting to slow down. Our projections show that by 2020, the pace could fall to 0.9 people per second, and to 0.5 people per second by 2022.
As we fall further behind the target pace, the task of ending extreme poverty by 2030 is becoming inexorably harder because we are running out of time. We should celebrate our achievements, but increasingly sound the alarm that not enough is being done, especially in Africa.

Decades and decades of Hausa/fulani + Yoruba trying to destroy Igbos economically have backfired. If the East have potential for commerce, industry, importation, manufacturing, services and etc...you site infrastructures like sea port, international airport, good roads and rail road there as enablers in other to enhance those potential fully for Nigeria because Igbos/East is inside the economic GDP of Nigeria not outside it. This trend is now impossible to reverse as a minimum of 7% economic growth is required to out pace 3% population growth. With the 4th industrial revolution(a situation were artificial intelligence and robots are set to take over production line of more advanced economy for their exports, Nigeria is doomed for ever.mind you India and China are twenty times Nigerian population and more skilled. Restructuring of Nigeria 20 years back could have position Nigeria. Obasonjo have realised the tragic misgovernance of past Nigerian governments of which he was at the center of it, but its too late now.
