You can say the same about Czechoslovakia, United Kingdom, Northern and Southern Ireland and

Nigeria/Biafra, even husband/wife

Both USA and Russia are fighting for their self interest around the world because of they have the might.

Africa should be the best environment for Africans but since we sell ourselves and resources to outsiders;

Which country can an African survive better apart from Africa?

A305:
You don't understand my man.

There is freedom of association, fine but that is politically agreed upon but we talking territorial tusle here.

Ukraine is historically tied to Russia as well and Belarus and other countries around Russia.

Think of it this way: Let's assume you a big brother with 4 siblings and 1 of them starts misbehaving and likely to cause the family generational disgrace, won't you call that 1 sibling to order?

Russia is trying to call Ukraine to order (using military) because Ukraine exist just close to big brother Russia otherwise, any slip up will result to Russia insecurity thereby loss of Russia power or vulnerable to NATO domination.

Not even Fire at the Central Bank of Nigeria?

World politics is African politics.

Most Russian leaders have been overthrown by Palace Coup.

Both United States and Russia are looking for land grabs all over the world.

Just as the Chinese. Once any country including African countries acquire power, they look for land grabs.

Russia communist system is not attractive to Africans.

Putin is on his way out the way he showed Boris Yeltsin out.

I think the Op is taken literally.

In this day of women's lib. with prosmicuity embedded, a man may need DNA test. One of Bill Cosby children that was not his threatened to sue him because she was not getting enough money after she had tuition fees, vacation once a year and spending money.

Cosby had to resort to DNA test.

Again, the Op is right literally because if you are well off, your brothers and sisters children call you Dad. Even househelps in the same compound call you Dad. We also have big Dad and small Mummy. Sometimes the kids ask: how many mums and dads do I have?

Situations have changed, money is scarce and nobody wants others' responsibilities, especially from a promiscuous woman.

What foolery coming from a respectable Oba to mamagai a desperate man.

Yoruba Ancestor ko, Igbo Ancestor ni.

Alafia knows Tinubu must reap what he sow in Lagos.

Funso Williams, Pa Dawudo and Adeniran Ogunsanya will not sleep until Yekini Amoda Ogunlere is banished to Iragbiji.

How long is it going to take before it deteriorates for lack of care or before someone steals it again and sell it to the highest bidder.

The only time we value our own is when the West put a price on it or honor it.

There are many artifacts languishing throughout Africa. We are only interested in money, nothing else. Deny this all you want, realities speak.

Your language betrays your background from the environmental dumpsters.

Invictuse:
Did anyone of the two told your father Tinubu sent them to their graves ?!

Some much noise about those Tinubu "made" and became ingrates

After rolling and begging on the floor for Pa Ganiyu Dawudo and Adeniran Ogunsaya, Tinubu sent them to their graves as broken men.

Yeah, the denigration comes from all regions of the country.

But if the WEST is so poor why do people from all over the country, West Africa and the world up to the 90 at least, cross border to become boiboy, gatemen, house helps, laborers in Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti and Ogun States?

Even today, transportation from other regions keep on trooping into Ogun and Lagos States at an unsustainable rate over running all services.

Those that have made it as billionaires in the West, built mansions at home refused to go back and live in them. Whenever they are haunted in their regions, their first choice of refuge is in Ibadan or Lagos.

Who in his right mind runs to poverty stricken areas?

All the complaints are not at their home regions but in the West about Yoruba.

Una not dey taya?

Cool temper.

This was written in 2017 as a joke!

DrGoodman:
It also means the government has lost their legitimacy over the people.

Regardless of parties, they vote in the same characters in again and again.

It is now common for every militia in Nigeria to demonstrate how powerful they are to close markets and business activities either in the who country or their region.

Who is gaining and who is losing?

Aregbesola going against Tinubu show that the end of Tinubu is here.

No matter how powerful you are, there are time to sit back and advise.

Tinubu overestimated himself labeling those that made him ingrates for not holding him up like Yaradua.

Though anything like murder scare the hell out of me.

I still pity the lady sha.

You may be right but it helps a great deal if his name is Adamu.

Oba Olutayo, Ojukwu and two others knew what they were getting into in the military. Yet they joined at low level derided as "book soldiers". They later got promoted. But never trusted. Obasanjo eventually retired Oba Olutayo.

The fact remains that they are feared and never trusted because they know one day they are going to become their boss. So, they would rather frustrate them out. How can a degree be useless in such a large organization?

In this case, you cannot discount the Igbotic factor.

asanausana91:
what you don't know just shot up. As far as he enter the police before getting those degrees, especially when he is in rank and file, your degrees are useless even if your name is Muhammad.
Just like the military,there are many doctorate degree holders who are still other ranks.

It always amaze me how gimmicks like wearing local clothes in the region, buying on the streets and marrying local ladies as 5th wife works.

People are not stupid, they are just hungry and empty bellies fall for immediate gratification. This why looters give tokens and stomach infrastructure to gain fame.

Igbo are not stupid.

These ingenuities are going on all over Nigeria and must be appreciated no matter where they come from.

It does not matter if it is original, copied or stolen. As long as it is in progress from every corner and village.

However, Africans have to get it into their heads that Government creates enabling environment not wealth.

Wealth comes from Esusu encouraging individuals like this guy. We have many moneybags spreading "gifted" on the social media. This is what they should be encouraging with their money.

Look at the comment below, with the right idea but expecting Government in Nigeria but individual firms in America.

ugodson:
Nigerian government will not do quick and collect this guy untill a firm in America or Europe will come and carry him away and give him what he needs.

Sanusi primary training is in Islamic studies not economics. But he was enmeshed in economics later and on the job training in banks because of his Fulani privilege.

It is not surprising that he manipulated his privileges into Central Bank and as Emir.

Laslas, he could not wait to get out when he felt persecuted by the same Fulani
privilege givers; then seek refuge out of the North.

Where else but in the refuge capital of Africa, Western Nigeria.

Ignorant people are afraid of the truth for fear of learning what may contradict their entrenched belief.

Find out where "Northern Egypt" was. It might surprise you that it was SUDAN!

Emperor88:
We still have some africans they still walk half naked...you can do your research mumu. Why dId the slave girl not teach her fellow Africans vaccination. And Egypt is not Nigeria or Ghana....They are brown skin not blacks and finally they are Arabians not mum u like you. Yes civilization started in Egypt but never went past the other Arabian African countries.

Nothing but the truth though bitter and hard to take.

You may not like the comments quoted below.

Even well before Independence, any reasonable leader knows the Gold Mine, Brains and Education that brought Nigeria into Modern State originated in the WEST.

The Father of Modern Age country called Nigeria was Herbert Macaulay.

If you want to get informed, go for free Education in the West Nigeria.

If you want to become wealthy, go to Western Nigeria.

If you are looking for labourer jobs, mai-guard, boiboy, beggars and other jobs to make a living, you go to Western Region.

Even today, there is no other place to run to when you are persecuted in your regions than Western Region.

They will never let go Western Region. Pay attention to their one and only ambition to capture the WEST!

VeryWickedMan:
Afonjas are very good at stealing other tribes properties.

Mark my words, once Nigeria breaks up, Oduduwa Nation will be colonized by either Arewa or Biafra.

Any Yoruba that risks his life for Igbo cause is a capital fool.

Wole Shoyinka almost died of torture as a younger man in Northern prison for Igbo Cause. Today he is their enemy.

The daughter of Oba of Lagos Oyekan, followed her husband to the East after Ojukwu called them home against all pleas from her families. She live(d) to regret it.

Fajuyi died for Ironsi, the creator of Unitary Government. Igbo labelled him a traitor.

Obasanjo brought out the Igbo from the dog house after the War and appointed them into leadership positions occupied by Yoruba from Central Bank to Police and Military positions.

They called him the most detribalized Nigerian. Today he is their enemy.

Herbert Macaulay a Yoruba gave Azikiwe Igbo, NCNC. It was the last time Yoruba had leadership position in that Party.

Yoruba gave the same Azikiwe Lagos City Town Council leadership and Opposition Leader in the Western Region.

It was not enough, Azikiwe wanted to be the Premier of Western Region because Igbo are born to rule Yoruba.

Every Igbo that became a millionaire including Pa Ojukwu made it in Yoruba land.

Even Awolowo insisted stubbornly to form alliance with Igbo UPGA, against the advice of his deputy S. L Akintola. Their disagreement broke Western Region. Igbo preferred their traditional Northern ally and Akintola was vindicated.

Indeed, Igbo hate Awolowo and like Akintola.

Today all the Igbo who deserted their land to look for greener and greater pasture in the Western Region, have a few among crying abuse today.

Even when Fashola relocated them, they trooped back to the only place they could make it most, Lagos.

Why does everything have to be at the expense of Yoruba and in Yoruba environment?

Igbo have nothing, absolutely nothing to offer Yoruba but hate. Any Yoruba caught unawares has himself to blame.

Ask Wole Soyinka.

What about those still bragging and beating their chests today that they started as boiboy to tenants to landlords?

They also call themselves developers. Are you abused too by the accommodators?

This projected hatred taya me ai nor go lie.

Most of the farm hand laborers established themselves, some were given or bought their own farms, their children and families even melt into the culture.

Even in Lagos, some became offended if they are told they are not members of the families or Agbole.

This is also true of Yoruba workers, Hausa or Igbo. This is how people prosper for centuries in Yorubaland.

This manipulation of history to debase people you voluntarily left your place to serve in exchange for money is part of the oschecrested calumny against the fingers that fed you.

This is how well you know me since we grow up together, abi

Your inferiority complex has clouded your self reliance at home. You have to venture out and abuse the privilege rendered to you outside.

Otherwise, your hosts are jealous, tribal or ungrateful.

Make your village and your behavior attractive to others.

Bashir El-Rufai: They Now Want Unity & Togetherness All Of A Sudden by dokyOloye: 8:54am

laiperi:
It's so sad what Ndi Igbo children and those feeding them hate have turn to in Nigeria.

These are Nigerians that were well loved and respected. They took it for granted and squandered others' goodwill towards them.

dokyOloye:

Tell yourselves d truth,you've never liked even an Igbo dog.

It's so sad what Ndi Igbo children and those feeding them hate have turn to in Nigeria.

These are Nigerians that were well loved and respected. They took it for granted and squandered others' goodwill towards them.

Africans are running away from themselves so fast, no human can catch and return them to their civilization, sensibility and culture.

They want to be light skinned, change their beautiful hair styles including corn row they had embraced because white woman Bo Derek made it popular at one point.

Now it is tattoo, tribal marks, spiritual marks or whatever seen in other cultures. Even Senator style African top and pants have are now westernized with handkerchief and French suit.

What is the big deal about a culture you are free to ditch or embrace?

If the Romans or the Anglo Saxons we're practicing this today, they will copy them.

Your inferiority complex taya me.

Leff dem leff dem, make dem dey beat their chests blue and black over another man's filage while dem filage dey in ruin.

FBI attention has been drawn to this topic.

If de woman nor make am, na una fault.

She is not Yoruba, she is an in-law. Yoruba do not behave like the noisy neighbors.

You need to get your facts straight. Though it is true that the authorities are trying to discourage it.

Nobody would prosecute Mormons unless they go on TV to brag about it or the girls' family report to Police. Old culture hard to kill.

Oritna94:
You are wrong about the Mormons. You are refering to people who broke off from the main church. They are called reformed Church of Jesus Christ. Get your facts right

Who else is juggling between campaign for for President and medical consultations abroad. Tinubu we know, there must be others like him.

Youths please shun greed for a better which belongs to you. Feeble old looters will never share your future.
