Omooba77: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. |
AnonPoet:This should have been done a long time ago by past governments but it's BETTER late than never. Period. However, the ongoing reforms in the NNPCL and the newly launched Central Command facility of the NNPCL based off of the Saudi Aramco model are some of the tectonic shifts in the oil and gas industry. Kudos to them for that. |
BlackViper:My concern is for the safety of peaceful Iranian citizens who are under the bondage of the Iranian mullahs. A complete regime change must be made now otherwise if they are allowed to stay on, they will become deadlier. |
Aaronsrod: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. |
aswani: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: 1]=>https://www.nairaland.com/8150717/igbo-not-harmless-blameless/1#135797500 2]Igbos Are Not Harmless or Blameless Businessday NG, 2017 Tochukwu Ezukanma =>https://businessday.ng/analysis/article/igbo-not-harmless-blameless/ 3] Misinformation that continues to poison our (Igbo) minds Businessday NG February 9, 2017 Tochukwu Ezukanma =>https://businessday.ng/analysis/article/misinformation-continues-poison-minds/ |

Conciousnigeria:That was very assertive and had an aura of mystery to it... "I may or I may not." |
aswani:@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. |
TouchNfollow:That MUST be a Danish Viking shoe since they were frequent on the British Isles. The Vikings (with blue eyes and LARGELY blonde hairs) from among the Danish and Norwegian Vikings were fierce warriors with their use of fast-attack boats to invade vulnerable settlements. |
Chilipepper:What kind of semi-literate talk and logic is this girl spewing? A guy might NOT have a car but knows how to drive a car perfectly. She simply is dealing with self-esteem issues and wanted to announce to the world that she now has a car. Period. |
Factcheck0001:The man wanted more biological kids and had lost his first wife, hence he had to remarry a younger broad. Personal wealth in terms of a high net worth breaks down a lot of social limitations including a young lady marrying a much older man. |
Chilipepper: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. |
aswani: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. |
Love800: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. |
aswani:@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). |

blamingthedevil:INEC has been and remains the backbone of Nigeria’s democratic journey; its role in conducting free, fair, and credible elections is central to the trust our people place in their government and in our democratic process.” - President Tinubu, at the flag-off of the construction of the new INEC headquarters, said it is only right for a pivotal institution like INEC to be housed in a structure that reflects the dignity, responsibility, and national significance of that institution. |
@aswani 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.

aswani:@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." |

PAQ: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: SHOCKING TWIST 🔥 HAUSA WOMEN & OTHERS SEEK ALLIANCE WITH YORUBA & IGBO TO FIGHT FULANI CONQUERORS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnK4qQnjyg?si=okSbKUb7jomYjEkF Naija Star News • Jan 18 2025 |
BlackViper: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. |
shortgun: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. |
