Those ridiculous illegal police and military extortion checkpoints, interstate levies, and other inneficiences in the logistics and food chains should undergone reforms and get ruthlessly implemented since early 2023 (and even years before 2023). These are the low-hanging fruits that I've emphasized upon for years now.

There's just no sense of urgency on the part of a lot of those in charge of governance at all levels. This isn't rocket science so they BETTER get it started NOW in order to crash the prices of food items and introduce the CNG-fueled trains that Kayode Opeifa talked about.

Commercial farming using AI applications, soil tests, agri-drones, greenhouse ecosystems including hydroponics and aquaponics in peaceful environments are the new normal is you want to be successful in agribusiness and deliver foods from the farmgate at lower costs.

However, the ongoing reforms in the NNPCL and the newly launched Central Command facility of the NNPCL based off of the Saudi Aramco model

This people are devil worshippers and satanist.

Why encourage travel to a area with a spiritual overlord?
I'm not an adherent of the Ifa cosmology or the Yoruba religion, BUT YOU must learn to RESPECT other people's faiths and religious beliefs. I have read a lot about Ifa cosmology and the Yoruba religion for years now and I respect them because they emphasize on the spiritual laws of cause-and-effect. What you sow, you will reap. You cannot escape the vibrational laws that guide the universe. The Yoruba religion is an international religion and even in past Vatican Church meetings, Professor Wande Abimbola who is an internationally respected Ifa Priest (or Babalawo), and the two-time Vice Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife was invited to the Vatican city along with other major world religion leaders to those meetings. If they are what you ignorantly say they are, would they have been invited to an international gathering of such?

Update yourself on the knowledge about world history and comparative religion studies (which I have done since the year 1980) in order to free up your mind from mental enslavement of the orthodox clergy who want to control the masses. "Applied Knowledge is King." Period.

Great work as ever, you really need to create your own thread in the Diary section like nap.tu2 has.
Ah! He's the ultimate guru in that area because he has staying power in the Diary section.

My area of strength is in sharing credible historical insights "on the go" with people who are open to updated views on global events based off of the knowledge I've gathered from reading advanced books and archival materials for nearly 5 decades.


I was telling one boy on an NL thread dealing with Ekpa's trial in Finland 2 days ago that the iconic General Yakubu Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord by over 90% with evidence from 3 well-read Ibo men who affirmed that Gowon IMPLEMENTED the Aburi Accord. In his book, "Power Sharing in Nigerian Federation," Chukwuemeka Nwokedi wrote that, “Apart from MINOR adjustments to the Aburi Accord, in other to still retain the corporate nature of Nigeria”, Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord with Decree 8; “and the regions acquired MORE powers than they have ever had”. That was months before the continued wrangling between Ojukwu and Gowon led to the creation of states (on May 27, 1967). But did Ojukwu not declare Biafra and we marched out to war on the mantra, “On Aburi We Stand”. According to other writers, the MINOR adjustments Gowon made to the accord was the cancelation of TWO articles of the accord, which stated that any region can secede from Nigeria at will, and that the federal government can, on no account, impose a state of emergency on any region. Ojukwu’s advisers urged him to accept Decree 8 because Gowon had “gone more than far enough”. He refused.

Tochukwu Ezukanma whose brilliant articles on the Aburi Accord were ALSO published in 2017 in a Business Day newspaper affirmed this as well, to back it up but that boy was blinded by ipob propaganda and the usual victimhood exhibited by a large number of his fellow kinsmen who like to deflect attention from their own historical blunders and blame other ethnic groups for Ojukwu's Nigeria Civil War blunders of 1967 despite the fact that his Ibo advisers as of 1967 told him NOT to go to war because a large part of the Aburi Accord had been implemented but he ignored them and illegally declared secession on May 30, 1967, leading to the deaths of his kinsmen and others. Then he ran away by airplane from an airstrip with his family to Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire looking chubby and well fed in videos and pictures.

You can read more about the 3 Ibo men who affirmed that Aburi Accord was implemented in 1967 contrary to the WRONG claims of Emeka Ojukwu's propaganda machinery, in the 2014 NL thread right BELOW:

PoliticsRe: Hausas Refuse To Be Linked With Fulanis—we’re Either Hausa Or Fulani, Never Both by Konquest: 10:48pm On Jun 18, 2025
Itaekuson3:
HAUSAS REFUSE TO BE LINKED WITH FULANIS—WE’RE EITHER HAUSA OR FULANI, NEVER BOTH WITH TERRøRISTS!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPsio7Gcxwo
In this video, we're diving into a strong message coming from the North—straight from some Hausas who are boldly speaking out and saying enough is enough.

They’re saying clearly: "We are either Hausa or Fulani—not both!" And they’ve had it with being linked to the Fulani, especially when it comes to terrør and violence happening in Nigeria.

See, a lot of Nigerians still believe in the idea of “Hausa-Fulani” like it’s one group. But according to these voices, that’s a big lie. Hausa and Fulani are completely different people, with different cultures, different languages—even different roots.

One speaker in this clip says it plain:

“We don’t speak the same language. We only share religion, that’s all. We need a public divorce!”

They even go as far as calling Fulani the biggest problem in Northern Nigeria today. From the ongoing farmer clashes… to the killings… to the way herdsmen roam with weapons unchecked. They say Hausas are paying the price, getting blamed for everything Fulani does—while staying silent.

And now, that silence? It's breaking. One man says:

“We’ve lived in peace with every tribe in Nigeria until the Fulani issue came up. Now everyone hates the North—and it's not fair!"

They’re demanding a public separation—no more hiding under the same name.
They’re saying:

"We must speak out before everyone turns against us!"

Guys, I’ll let you watch this video for yourself so you can see exactly what I’m talking about.

Southern unity school but my memories of it are not the best and I couldn't wait to leave in truth.

Thanks for the detailed history lesson, another reason not to give up on this great portal despite certain people being hell bent on spoiling it for the rest of us simply because their oga came third in elections.

Ah, so that's where the Moors ended up when the Spanish chased them away. European history programmes never investigate where they went to after they were run out of Spain and I suspected they were too sophisticated to have become subservient to another culture somewhere. This makes sense, they seemingly morphed into Fulani's (through interbreeding or whatever) and no doubt conquered the Northern part of West Africa all the way across. Fascinating stuff.

I can only wish the Hausa's the best of luck in breaking away from under the Fulani yoke as I believe Al quaeda and/or ISIS are now in bed with Fulani marauders and are supplying them arms to continue to destabilise that immediate sub Saharan region.
@aswani

You've spoken very well and have a perfect understanding of the @bolded subject matter through out your feedback here.

The Moors (Berbers) and some Jews who didn't convert to the Catholic religion were EXPELLED finally from Spain in 1492 like I stated and the Muslim Berbers simply came back into North Africa and proceeded to create chaos by attacking other West Africa kingdoms and empires with their more superior weapons (muskets) which the African fighters of Songhai who were more in fighting population didn't have and hence, the smaller Moorish (Berber) contingents easily defeated the Songhai army. [From there, these North African Berbers
would have captured the Songhai women and other women from conquered territories in West Africa, and proceeded to use them as concubines or sell some off into slavery, hence the fathering of mixed children and the emergence of the new mixed breed called the Fulani evolving around the Mauritania and Senegal area]. This military deficit on the part of Songhai empire emphasizes even right till today the importance of being militarily updated otherwise a small army from another country can easily defeat Nigeria in modern warfare using tech-based weaponry and more in battle and take people as prisoners of war or worse case scenario, enslavement or forced labor on concentration camps.

History repeats itself.

Since I bought a car, I started finding it very hard to date a man who does not have a car - Anthonia Umerah reveals.


Since I bought a car, I started finding it very hard to date a man who does not have a car. In my head, I am usually imagining how the experience will be like. Will I be parking my car at home while we use taxi to go out on dates or will I carry my car, probably drop him at him place after the date before going home instead of the other way round and being the one driving a man🧐

Abi I will carry my car key give man?🤣😂

See ehh, is not like there’s anything wrong about a man not having a car at the moment but, it became weird for me to date one. There’s one I met few days ago, from my observation and our conversation, the guy is okay o. His only offense was just that, he does not own a car and I felt like it was affect my steeze🤣

This was previously not a problem for me at all when I didn’t have a car and I know there are woman who naturally don’t like dating men who do not own a car despite not having and it is still very VALID but my own issues about it started since I bought a car and I don’t know why.

I feel like; being the one to drive a man up and down is a masculine trait and i want to be feminine 😂😂

One thing that also scare me about this, is that, a lot of Nigerian mèn have insecurîty issues. Situation like this may bruisè the ego of an insècure man and he will start telling you “is it because you have a car in every little misunderstanding”.

That was very thoughtful of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu. Most men usually resist the urge to have their wills documented and UPDATED regularly as things evolve through a legal practitioner or a trust because of the fear of passing on thereby leaving chaos behind in their families. Look... Just do it NOW!


Second, the remarriage part cracked me up a bit. I can just imagine how he's monitoring her moves from a "higher 7th vibrational dimension" with a cosmic sledge hammer to strike any man who tries to marry her... Lmao. Seriously though, I assume the whole arrangement is for her to maintain focus in taking care of her kids and the business interests. However, the cyclical female hormones will kickass and she'll definitely have a "side bobo" to warm things up even when NOT married which is her prerogative. It is what it is. I remember reading the Punch interview one of Chief Iwuanyanwu's daughters had over 10 years ago where she indicated that her father had to remarry a younger woman after her own biological mother (his first wife passed on). She stated that she gets along very well with the new wife which I found impressive. It was in that same interview that I got to know that the older sister (of the lady granting the interview) was ALSO married to a Yoruba guy who she said could speak fluent Ibo and that was what disarmed her father (Chief Iwuanyanwu) because he ORIGINALLY wanted all his children to marry Ibos.

I have to walk my statements back then that inferred this might be a Fulani herdsmen thing.
Actually, I suspect the Fulani guys with Gaddafi guns, who are not necessarily herdsmen, were paid by these vested interest politicians, to do the mass murdering.

Those guys are callous and have no care for women or children. Bottom line is whoever is behind this must be found out and flushed out.

Per the Hausa thing, I genuinely doubt anything can be done, the Fulani political and administrative class have them in a chokehold and have done so for a long time.

When you consider that Fulani's are not indigenous to Nigeria, that is quite impressive though repugnant in their perpetual overlording of the native Hausa.

To my eternal shame, despite attending a unity school, I can't tell them apart.
Really? Was it a Northern Unity school or Southern?

For the Hausas, they will have to fight hard to liberate themselves from the Fulanis just like the Spanish were able to militarily defeat in 1492, the Muslim Ummayad Berbers crossed over from Morocco who had colonised Spain for over 700 years. Incidentally, the Fulanis are paternally of Berber origin as well from North Africa. The Fula political domination and hegemony over the Hausas will NOT be easily won but can be achieved through a combination of bloodshed and litigation. They will have to engage with the larger Nigerian population to achieve their dream of maximum liberation since the 1804 Fulani jihad which was just a grab for land, slave trade and domination through colonial rulership and NOT to spread Islam.

The Fulanis are usually slimmer in terms of facial and body size. I have some of them as friends (academically brilliant guys though) from back in the day due to my cosmopolitan background.

The Bororos who are purer Fulanis than the town Fulanis (who are mixed) otherwise called "Fulanen gida" in Hausa language (loosely translated as "house Fulani" or town Fulani) are usually lighter in skin complexion with curly hairs. The Fulanis based on accurate oral, written going back to about 800 years ago, and recent advanced DNA test results that I've seen in ALL Fulanis from the certified DNA testing company called AncestryDNA show North African Berber paternal descent from the Morocco/Algeria regions
which is the location where Berbers are indigenous to. The Muslim Berbers or Moors had invaded the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), conquered and colonised it for over 700 years till 1492 when a combined Spanish force defeated them and expelled them entirely from Spain which the Berber-Arabs called Al-Andalus. Spain would have been a major Muslim country today if the Spanish hadn't mustered military courage to get rid of the Berbers of the Ummayad Dynasty in Spain who had crossed over the Mediterranean Sea in large numbers from North Africa.

The Hausas are more Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria features in body and facial looks because they are largely indigenous to Nigeria.

Oyo empire covered Togo and Benin Republic?
Yes.

The Oyo Empire extended from modern Nigeria to Benin and Togo. This is why if you carry out further readings, you will see the map of Yorubaland in Wikipedia extending from Nigeria to Benin and parts of Togo (the Atakpame region of Togo). Benin Republic has over 25 Obas or traditional rulers in different Yoruba cities and towns in that country from Ajase (the indigenous Yoruba name for Porto Novo), the Kingdom of Ketu (spelled Ketou in Francophone Benin) and many more.

The Yoruba descendants are ALSO indigenous to Ghana such as the Ga people of Accra and neighboring towns who have Yoruba bloodlines with the Ga King recently paying a royal visit to the Ooni of Ife and affirming their Ife ancestry, and the Ewes of Togo and Eastern Ghana also have oral traditions of migration from Ile Ife.

The Oyo Empire which engaged in long-distance trading and conquests ALSO CLEARLY included non-Yoruba people who the Imperial Oyo army had conquered and made to pay annual tributes such as parts of Nupe and Bariba in the modern Kwara State area and the Aja people of Benin and Togo, Dahomey and other parts of Togo. The Fon people of Benin Republic evolved as a result of the ancestral mix between the Yoruba and Aja who the Yorubas had conquered. The Eguns (now called Ogus) are a further mix of Fon ancestry and Yoruba ancestry hence are related to the Yorubas as well.

That's my take, it isn't diametrically opposite to yours though.
@aswani

Absolutely well said.

The Hausas have to key right into the planned constitutional amendments and ensure they do NOT vote for the minority Fulani Governors again and replace them with their own Hausa kinsmen in all the Hausa States because I believe that once State Policing is approved in those Hausa States currently being governed by the minority Fulani political hegemony, they will use the State Police apparatus to further embed themselves in the system and use their Police to harass the Hausas
again and again.

Second, I watched the full AIT interview the current Governor of Benue State, Alia, granted recently online and he emphatically said the current killings and insecurities in the 3 Local Government Areas of his State are politically motivated. That confession befuddled me a bit because the propaganda out there is that this is a Fulani militia invasion and killing. He said information reaching him shows the killings have political undertones (from WITHIN Benue) among rogue politicians.

It then suddenly occured to me that this may have been the reason why 'Bayo Onanuga's press statement indicated that the President called for negotiations and dialogue. So, it's VERY CLEAR that this is what Governor Alia told President Tinubu and that informed his comments which many of us thought was careless because how do YOU negotiate with Fulani terror groups? So, it seems (If the Benue Governor is right with his intelligence report) 5th columnists within the Benue political circles are behind the recent mass killings in those 3 LGAs of Benue State and NOT the Fulanis as is widely told online and offline. Although we know the Fulanis have historically been responsible for the killings of people in indigenous Tiv communities straddling both sides of Benue and Nassarawa States, and other ethnic groups too fell victim in the 6 political regions of Nigeria in the past decades especially right from the GEJ Presidency).

I wanted you to watch this video right BELOW so that you can really understand what's going on in relation to the relentless killings by foreign Fulani herders and bandits. The video shows an angry Hausa woman from Katsina State rebuking the foreign Fulanis and their kinsmen collaborators for invading Hausaland, killing her Hausa people, and taking over their lands for forceful resettlement. This video narrative from the Hausas EXACTLY mirrors the same accusations by the Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna folks who say the Fulani militia are taking over their lands and renaming those communities to Fulani names. It's VERY obvious that there is an invasion of these insidious foreigners from Sahelian countries running away from conflicts in their countries.

The Hausa lady ALSO revealed that NO single Hausa person is currently the Governor of any of the Hausa States except the minority Fulanis and a Hausa person has NEVER been the President of Nigeria since 1960! Indeed, NO minority colonizer should be allowed to cunningly dominate indigenous Hausas in Hausaland and Nigeria as a whole like the Fulas are doing in 2025.

President 'Bola Tinubu has to wake up and immediately trigger the constitutional amendments that would remove all security and economic inneficiences in Nigeria for sustainable growth. He should listen less to the Fulani Governors up North over the bandit attacks because they will never tell him the full truth about the bad security situation by foreign Fulani herders and militia because they are all kinsmen with paternal Berber roots in North Africa.

Morning and super educative posts on this thread again sir, I hope you have a memoir somewhere in case the usual suspect evil beings succeed in bringing this site down one day.

Acaraje is what they call it and the interesting thing is, unlike here where we fry the paste and just start eating it, they fry it, then slice the àkàrà sideways, stopping just before the end, and stuff it with things like sliced Avocado, prawns and a few other stuff.

Those cats in Bahia are super proud of having Yoruba ancestry, even the ones that are effectively white as a result of generations of intermarriage.

Colombia actually has black cities too but they don't hold on tight to Yoruba/Òrìṣà culture like the ones in Bahia.
@aswani

Good morning and thank YOU.
My memoirs are still on my head but you got me thinking about having somethings penned down. My paternal grandfather wrote his own autobiography in the early 1960s so that's an inspiration for me. I even have a 1949 copy of my grandfather's book by the British Colonial Acting Governor-General of Nigeria, Sir Allan Burns, entitled: "The History of Nigeria" that I have in my library collections.

You're spot on about Colombia and acaraje (Akara). Colombia has adherents of the Yoruba religion and Ifa but they are NOT as robust as Salvador in Bahia State. It was right in Bahia that a Muslim revolt led by Yorubas then others even took place because they were not allowed to pray and felt oppressed. However, the early 1800s "Male revolt" with "Male" being shortened in Brazilian Portuguese from the Yoruba name for Muslims (Imale) was crushed by firearms and some of the leaders were executed while the rest were deported to Ghana and this is why the descendants of deported Africans who led the Bahia revolt still live in Accra Ghana.

The Acaraje made in Brazil looks bigger and creative with all kinds of stuffing like you said but some Naija folks who have eaten it say it's NOT as tasty as the original Yoruba-styled Akara or Hausa-styled Akara (kosei). A business-savvy Naija dude or babe can easily go to Brazil and jazz up the Acaraje by taking some of their recipe ingredients and adding it to our recipe and voila you come up with a blended mix and flavor of "Brazilian-Nigerian Acaraje."

The killings in the past decade is worrisome. Thank you for your response i will check it out.
Your feedback and worries about the Dane guns use are absolutely on point because that's truly what MOST of the community vigilance groups in Nigeria largely use which leads to them being decimated by those Godless foreign Fulani herders and militia bandits operating in Plateau, Zamfara, Southern Kaduna, Benue, Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, and more.

The Journalists Hangout crew brilliantly gave deep insights and suggestions on how to tackle that menace. I'm still a bit pissed off by the gross miscommunication in the press statement of the respected pro-democracy activists and veteran investigative journalist 'Bayo Onanuga over the comments made by the President 'Bola Tinubu for dialogue and tolerance when most of us with the knowledge of deep security analysis know already that the bandits who have attacked Benue State, Southern Kaduna and Plateau are foreign Fulanis who have ALSO done the same over the decades to the indigenous Hausas of the North West of Nigeria. You have to see the videos that I have seen of angry male and female Hausas openly declaring since 2024 that these foreign Fulanis are attacking them right in Hausaland and dispossessing them of their ancestral homelands while resettling and renaming those indigenous Hausa communities. To make matters WORSE, the Hausas States are all governed by the minority Fulani political hegemonists who surreptitiously planted themselves in positions in majority Hausa-dominated States such as Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, etc, and the Governors are NOT protecting the Hausas. This exactly matches the accusations in Plateau, Benue, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara, that the Fulanis are deliberately taking over their ancestral lands to resettle their foreign Fulani kinsmen facing Civil Wars are terrorism dislocations in Mali, Niger, Northern Burkina Faso and elsewhere.



@PAQ, You can ALSO watch this video right BELOW to get a hang of what I'm saying here about the Hausa anger and revolts against the Fula political domination in their Hausa homelands:

Science/TechnologyRe: Israel Is Doing The Dirty Work For All Of Us - German Chancellor by Konquest: 5:19am On Jun 18, 2025
BlackViper:
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday expressed strong support for Israel in its military campaign against Iran as he spoke with German media on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada.

“This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us,” Merz said in an interview with the ZDF broadcaster.


"We are also victims of this regime. This mullah regime has brought death and destruction to the world,” he said.

In a separate interview with Welt TV, Merz also suggested Israel’s attacks on Iran could lead to the demise of the Islamic republic’s leadership.

“I assume that the attacks of the last few days have already weakened the mullah regime considerably and that it is unlikely to return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain,” Merz said.

“To be honest, I can hardly imagine the mullah regime returning to its old functions,” he added.

“Large parts of the military leadership and the so-called Revolutionary Guards are no longer alive, so things will not be the same as they were.”


Asked whether he thought the United States might get involved in the military campaign against Iran, Merz said he believed there was “no decision yet from the American government”.

“It now depends very much on how far the mullah regime is prepared to return to the negotiating table,” he said. “If not, there could be further developments of this kind.”

Israel on Friday launched a surprise aerial campaign targeting sites across Iran, saying the attacks aimed to prevent its enemy from acquiring atomic weapons.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also suggested the campaign could have wider aims.

Netanyahu on Monday said Israel was “changing the face of the Middle East” with its campaign, which could lead to “radical changes” in the country.

Iran has been ruled by clerical leaders since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and has long been accused by Western countries of human rights abuses and brutally repressing dissent.

The leaders of the G7 industrial democracies on Monday called for “de-escalation” in the Middle East starting with the Israel-Iran conflict, stressing that Israel “has a right to defend itself” and that civilians needed to be protected on both sides.

shortgun:
You throw around old UN estimates and war memoirs like relics from a shrine, ignoring the fact that even international observers later admitted underreporting death tolls to avoid accusing Nigeria of genocide. But sure, let’s pretend 1.5 million is the hard cap...because starving toddlers to death over three years is somehow acceptable if the body count stays under your preferred quota.

You conveniently skip over Gowon’s infamous “no victor, no vanquished” PR stunt, which was immediately contradicted by the systematic exclusion, marginalization and economic strangulation of the Igbo after the war.
From the £20 policy to abandoned property scams, Igbo survivors were legally robbed after being physically starved. That’s not peace. That’s punishment.


You keep deflecting to the January 1966 coup.
But here's what you're not going to do: act like Aguiyi Ironsi’s failure to punish the coup plotters justifies ethnic cleansing. The coup did not target “Northerners” because they were Hausa or Fulani, it targeted a corrupt political class.
And you conveniently leave out the counter-coup of July 1966, in which Igbo officers and civilians were butchered en masse, including Ironsi himself, whose body was desecrated.


You act like Ojukwu just woke up one day and declared secession that triggered the war. Let’s not pretend 30,000 Igbos weren’t butchered in the North before a single shot was fired by Biafra. That’s not “taunting gone too far.” That’s genocide by pogrom plain and simple.

In January 1967, after the 1966 pogroms in the North where over 30,000 Igbos were slaughtered, both military and civilian leaders from Nigeria met in Aburi, Ghana, to resolve the crisis. The agreement which was known as the Aburi Accord was crystal clear: a confederal structure would be adopted. Each region would have control over its affairs, while the central government would coordinate only on key matters like foreign policy and defense.Ojukwu and Gowon agreed to Aburi in Ghana.


When the Nigerian delegation returned, they reneged. The accord was discarded and replaced with Decree No. 8, that centralized power at the center which directly contradicted what had been agreed.
Had the Aburi Accord been honored, Nigeria would have evolved into a peaceful confederation.
No bombs. No starvation. No mass graves filled with innocent children. Just regional autonomy within a united framework.
Instead, Gowon's refusal cost millions of lives and created wounds that still haven’t healed today.


And let’s talk about the minorities you claim were “dragged” into Biafra. You forgot that several non-Igbo leaders including Frank Opigo (Ijaw) and Philip Effiong (Annang) stood with Biafra not because of tribe, but because of Federal betrayal and Northern domination. A jnumber of Eastern minority leaders actively participated in Biafra, knowing that under Nigeria, they’d be perpetual vassals to the North. Stop pretending like they were all anti-Biafra. It’s a false narrative meant to prop up the illusion of a “one Nigeria” that was never consensual.
Biafra wasn’t just a secession, it was a desperate attempt at survival after 30,000 Igbo innocent civilians were slaughtered in broad daylight and the Nigerian state did nothing but look the other way.


You love quoting propaganda radio? How about quoting Archbishop Anthony Byrne, David Subua, or Markpress Reports that documented civilian bombings, mass starvation and war crimes committed by the Nigerian military.

And you have the audacity to whine about “IPOB disinformation” online? What’s really happening is this: the generation your government silenced with hunger and bullets has descendants with internet access and they’re exposing the cover-ups and all the lies.
This will be my last convo on this issue because I was very SUCCINCT in my earlier clarifications. I'm a veteran of Nigerian Civil War history so you are NOT having a conversation with a youngster here and I hit people with virifiable PURE facts not disinformation here. You are even wrongly using "over 3 years" as the duration of the Nigerian Civil War when in fact it lasted for EXACTLY 2 years and 6 months (OR 30 months) from July 1967 to January 1970. So, where did you get the extra 6 months you and some others have been padding into the duration of the war for bragging rights from?

Those figures are NOT old UN or relief agency estimates of 1.5 million deaths or underreported figures. That so-called undereporting is a pure fabrication of history. Those are the official death figures we ALL knew officially in school books and other credible documentations and even Ibos quoted these figures in their books that I've read right from the early 1970s throughout the decades and is still official till this moment. They are hard FACTS of history.

The revisionism and propaganda to inflate the figures for bragging rights to 3 million Ibos dead while some Ibo propagandists claim 4 million dead Ibos as if it's a badge of honor which is just delusional started with the rise of Massob in 1999 and the insidious ipob in 2012 and Nnamdi Kanu was an expelled member of Massob before creating ipob as a splincter group and he took the hate rhetorics and disinformation right into ipob as well.

There are 3 notable Ibos (one based in the United States) who indeed confirmed over the years that the Aburi Accord was largely implemented at over 90% and there was NO need for Emeka Ojukwu to declare that war. It was obvious that regardless, Ojukwu wanted war at all costs to take place and he had planned it months before BUT he miscalculated because he never expected the Soviet Union and other Western countries assistance to Nigeria in terms of weapons while he had overrated the presence of his own White mercenaries. Before the war, he had boasted into the video cameras that "the other side will be surprised when the war finishes quickly," BUT once he started losing on the battlefield he started wondering and appealing to the international community to come to his aid!

Last but not least, just because Philip Effiong and the Ijaw guy Opigo who suggested the name biafra and a few other minorities such as Mathew Mbu were on the secessionist side does NOT mean ALL of them were in total support of the secessionist rebels due to the fear of being called a "saboteur"and killed. The Ibibio man who was made the head of service of the" rebel enclave" stated these FACTS clearly in his personal memoirs. It also doesn't mean over 99% of the ethnic minorities population were in full support of that illegal biafra secession of May 30, 1967. Many of them were even forcibly conscripted to fight on the rebel side and I personally know Ibibio folks who say that they will NEVER forget the brutality they suffered in the hands of the rebel soldiers which led to them losing their relatives to gunfires from the rebels. Many Old Eastern Region minorities fought on the side of Nigeria as Federal troops like Colonel Etuk, Captain Elechi Amadi who is Ikwerre and several Ijaws of the 3rd Marine Commando led by Benjamin Adekunle, etc. The highly irresponsible invasion of the Mid-West by the biafra rebels who renamed it as "Benin Republic" was another declaration of war and the brutalized indigenous ethnic groups of the then Mid-West (Benin-Edo, Esan Edo, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Iroko, and parts of Ukwuani, Ijaws etc), got united to defend themselves and joined the Nigerian Army, Navy, and Airforce in large numbers because of that invasion.

A fresh batch of compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks owned by Dangote is being offloaded in Lagos as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to adopt cleaner and more efficient transportation.
Impressive... Next is to get CNG truck to move his cement bags and manufactured food products such as rice, pasta, etc, in order to lower their wholesale and retail prices for the end users.
