Dat is a civilised response to King Kong the great Ape.

Dont u think Igbos are too civilised to share country with manner-less, uncultured Ape like that Yoruba Lagoon Oba?

mangoman00:
When pride comes disgrace fellows.Some people are playing God Nnanna has displayed humility and maturity. I expect that Oba to learn from Nnanna.

CSTR1003:
It was not necessary.

But as a civilised human being, it is the least we should expect.

I hope one oba and some top government officials will exhibit even a quarter of your civility and humanity.

Built2last:
So in a nutshell, even a Kingibe who abandoned the mandate, broke bread and went to bed with the Annuller-in-Chief of that election is more deserving of recognition on democratic credentials than the man who conducted the election and left no one in doubt as to who won

And, Nigerians are clapping for this double faced President.

bigtt76:
But what id Prof Humphrey Nwosu did to deserve an award? He did not and still refused to divulge the final result. If he had gone ahead and announced the results and dare the powers that be, then we can say he deserved something, buh right now, I'm personally struggling to understand his contributions ....no pun intended

5. Business
I must confess that Lagos is way up the league in this area, as there are many opportunities abounding in Lagos...What's the essence of business?Is it not to make money, send your children to school, pay bills, buy a car and build a house?Sure, you can make money anywhere if you have the right information and materials at your disposal...Some people are making millions of naira at the comfort of their homes without the 9-5pm type of jobs...Thousands of people are making it more than those in Lagos...Business in Lagos is over hyped...You can virtually make your money anywhere.

You have a machine that detects Eboeness or you just inspect their heads?

Sometimes your unintelligence is epic.

How many people work at Alausa?

So because YOU have been to Alausa you are now an expert on the demoographic configuration of Lagos State Civil Service?

What perenntage of Lagos state civil serviice are in Ikeja ? What proportion of those in Ikeja are in Alausa?

You think you know Lagos State when indeed you know nothing

.The kind Tax CRSG will knack you ehn!
Infact you go just lock up ur office.
Those guys are not smilin'when it comes to Tax, they survive on Tax like U.K
Their 13% derivation is not much, &they have a very effective Tax drive to generate Internally as a result.
But this does not stop you from investin'in the Peoples' Paradise, they make good use of ur Tax mon€¥.

Best bet sit down on a round table behind closed doors &negotiate with Govt.officials, CLO on how the employment quota gonna look like.

Most Companies coming into Rivers State usually adopt this system.
The reason behind "Community Chance" slogan in P.H where Indigenes are given opportunity to work via their CLO whether they qualify or u put 'em thru' Trainin'

Infact Corpers posted to Rivers were restrained from posting to companies so as to not take up the few available vacancies mearnt for their own indigenes when they return from service from other part of the country. This was what the previous Govt did.

Rivers Corpers must Teach or if u know ur way u can always fix urself somewhere &earn xtra ca$h!

Though Some CLO do sell some genuine slots to whoever that is interested especially to non-indigenes who can afford to pay Ca$h!

Nigeria: Igbo Language Compulsory in Imo Schools
Owerri — Vexed by the disappointing manner Igbo language is spoken across Igbo land particularly in Imo State, the Imo House of Assembly has passed a bill mandating teaching of the language in all schools in the state beginning from pre-nursery to secondary schools across the state.

The Assembly, in its plenary recently at its hallowed chamber where it passed the bill, warned that it would not hesitate to sanction any school or school head, who fails to comply by the law. http://allafrica.com/stories/201007130326.html

Obiano makes Igbo language compulsory | Posted By: Nwanosike Onu On: November 27, 2016 |
Addressing the crowd, Obiano announced that Igbo language had become compulsory in all the schools in the state, while students should be wearing Igbo native attires every Wednesday.

Also, every school in the state must make speaking of Igbo language every Wednesday compulsory, while the era of folk tales should be brought back with immediate effect.

The governor said with all these measures and establishment of Igbo radio in the state soon, Igbo language would not die as being speculated.

He also promised to take one or two persons of the Igbo group abroad each year, during what he called Anambra Day and World Igbo Congress (WIC). http://thenationonlineng.net/obiano-makes-igbo-language-compulsory/

Igbo Language Now Compulsory In Anambra Schools
Anambra State Government has decreed that the study of Igbo language is now compulsory, in secondary schools in the state. The state Governor, Mr. Peter Obi made this known at the weekend during a cultural competition in Awka, the state capital.

Obi, while addressing the crowd during the event that took place along the boulevard leading to the abandoned Government House complex said that the government was now determined to bring back the old glorious days of the people.

According to him, since the people abandoned their culture, all sorts of evil had multiplied as some people commit abomination and get away with it. "We have made the study of Igbo language compulsory in all secondary schools in the state. Anybody who wants to read in the state must read Igbo language. The reason why there are so many problems in Igbo land is because we lost our values and culture in our lives. We have no values. People come from anywhere and commit atrocities and get away with it. So we want to tell people that we come from somewhere," he said. https://www.naijarules.com/index.php?threads/igbo-language-now-compulsory-in-anambra-schools.25093/

Nigeria: Igbo Language Law Debuts in Anambra | By Chukwujekwu Ilozue | 7 JUNE 2010 |
Onitsha — Principals of secondary schools in Anambra State who promote pupils from Junior Secondary School III (JSS III) to Senior Secondary School I (SSS I) without the pupils passing Igbo language are to be removed from their positions and fined N5,000, for each of the pupils so promoted.

Also, any state or privately owned tertiary institution in the state which is found not to have established an Igbo language department or made Igbo language a mandatory general studies course by September, 2011 shall pay a fine of N100,000 for every month in which the offence continues. http://allafrica.com/stories/201006080539.html

NNPC is is criminal contraption posing as a pseudo regulator instead of mere state owned oil company....I know the NNPC very well bro ..I had brilliant career in the upstream oil industry in my 20s and I know what I am saying ..I am not speaking from a street point ..That thing called NNPC needs to be rethought ... how come NNPC has never gone out of Nigeria to look for oil like it's mates till date ...

SalamRushdie:
I wasn't talking about shell or Mobil Nigeria ...NNPC is supposed to be an oil producing company but today nobody knows what it is...it doesn't own any oil producing process or staff but just keeps doing nonsense Joint venture where it contributes absolutely nothing to the venture aside from collecting it's 60 percent and looting it . Is NNPC a regulator or participant company..tell me ?

WOCKHARDI:
How old are you?
So your parents didn't tell you that even with the annulment pronoucement, Prof Nwosu continued to announce the results only to be arrested by the regime, rough handled, slapped and even tortured for disobedience.
Much later, he published/launched a book where he actually confirmed Abiola as the winner of that election. So get your facts right before ranting.
Between Nwosu and your Jega who do you think supervised over a rigged election?
Answer me before Amadioha will .........

SalamRushdie:
Then shut it down ...what kind of nonsense talk is this ? Is NNPC bigger than Mobil producing or Shell or PetroBras? The truth is that the presidents of Nigeria including the current Buhari always connive with the people they plant in the NNPC to rape and plunder Nigeria resources .. Till date no one even knows what the NNPC is , whether it's an oil production company or a regulator or ministry we don't even know ... The NNPC needs to be rethought all over because as it's stands the NNPC is not a company nor a regulator nor a ministry but just a vehicle for mind boggling fantastic corruption .

Saudi Aramco's market value has been estimated at between $14 trillion and $21 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world. It is one of the largest companies in the world by revenue and, according to accounts seen by Bloomberg News, the most profitable company in the world. Saudi Aramco has both the world's second-largest proven crude oil reserves, at more than 270 billion barrels (4.3×1010 m3), and second-largest daily oil production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Aramco

I know your type too. We all know the kind if girl you will marry. The kind that will pretend for you and show you correct pepper down the line. Waiting for you to post your lamentation story on nairaland.

They won't listen o. All these ”people are making money from blogging" gang. Na so so copy and paste.

24hoursreporter:
Yeah, that is the problem. If you want to make it big blogging, don't be desperate about making money. This is what push some people to do somethings that will get them banned

rubyjan:
This man has just exposed his wife. She can neither cook a good meal nor keep a house all in the name of being a working class lady. Such a shame and he is even bragging about it.
There are women out there who cooks, clean and still help out financially as much as they can.
Hiring a maid and a cook shouldn't be every man priority.
Anyway common sense is not common.

vertueptime:
. All u said is true but dnt u think abacha wldnt hv killed or jailed nwosu or threaten his family or rather he was put by abacha to do the job he did

Akolawole:
I have read Nwosu 's book . To be honest, what about ;

1) Arthur Nzeribe, the leader of ABN who started the whole problem?
2) Who was our attorney general of the federation who also play a big role at that time?

Both are southerners.

History will judge many people.

TroubleMaker47:
Leave the hypocrites.
I remember them screaming, Lagos is yoruba and yoruba is Lagos, others can go to hell!
Forgetting that Lagos was once an FCT hence the entire nation pulled their resources to make Lagos work!.
What's most hurtful about that dammed law was that it compelled ALL schools!(private and public).
If Ambode is not part of Nigerias disunity then i wonder
Who is!

Tiphareth:
This will not be successful because such laws fall under the Exclusive List, i.e. only the FG can make such law. Besides, this will create tribalism, favoritism and nepotism.

Do not compare this law to the one in the UK. The UK does not discriminate among their citizens. The UK comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island. Any person from any of these four countries is treated equally in all respect.

I have lived in the UK for more than 15 years now and have not filled a form where I am asked of 'my state of origin'. They always ask your place of birth only, and how long you have lived in your current address.

Owing to the foregoing, I will not support the proposition of the current law in Nigeria except it discriminates against foreigners.

TroubleMaker47:
But how come some yorubas are crying foul?
Abi didn't they echo their support for Ambode when he mandated ALL schools to make Yoruba language COMPULSORY? (Like every other language doesn't matter!)
Who does that as part of a multilingual federation

I remember some yorubas commending the Governor for his "Pan Yorubaism" while screaming, other tribes can go to hell.

Well i just feel with the current crop of leadersrulers, this country is grinding to a halt, how soon it does all depends on the masses!!!

OBAGADAFFI:
I am really angry June 12 ahs now being turned into a Yoruba project.

I won't be surprised if some states outside Southwest ignore June 12 observation.

azpekuliar:
There was a kangaroo high court judgment stopping them from announcing the results. While he and his commissioners were in the process of appealing at the Appeal court, the AFRC in a preemptive move dissolved NEC on June 23. The results were submitted to the Appeal court. The question you should be asking is why didn't those who were in possession of the results after NEC was dissolved not announce the winner of the election? Did they too not know the winner?

On 10 June 1993, an Abuja High Court served the NEC an injunction to stop it from conducting the election, pending settlement of a law suit brought against the NEC by the Association for a Better Nigeria (ABN). The NEC , under Decree 13, ignored the injunction and the election took place as scheduled on 12 June 1993 (ARB June 1993, 11041; WA 21 - 27 June 1993, 1033; ibid., 28 June - 4 July 1993, 1078).

On 17 June 1993, following popular demands for the results, two court orders reversed the NEC's decision not to publish the election results and a Lagos High Court judge, Justice Moshood Olugbani, ordered NEC to release the results within 24 hours.

On 17 June 1993, Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti, the chairman of the CD issued NEC with an ultimatum to release the results within 24 hours or the CD would do so (ARB June 1993, 11041). Although the NEC's chairman was the only one originally authorized to declare the results (WA 7 - 13 June 1993, 946), on 18 June 1993, in defiance of NEC's decision not to publish the results, the CD released the election results and declared Moshood Abiola winner of the election. On the same day, Moshood Abiola reportedly "went on television to claim victory". http://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6ab8b4.html

Bobby4090:
That they betrayed Abiola nearly 20 years ago does not mean that they are not repentant now nor does it mean that they are not democrats. That they opposed Abiola then means nothing. It's the beauty of democracy. Freedom of opposition is the first rule of democracy.
The fact is that if they support Abiola being honored right now then they should be free to attend.

GavelSlam:
But he betrayed Abiola and he's eating from government today.

tiwiex:
Do you know what u are talking about at all? Humphrey Nwosu was one of the heros of June 12. If not for him, we would have no June 12. They tried to force him to stop the election but he went ahead. Abeg check your history bro.

DabuIIIT:
again,for once,2nd time,well spoken.
But be it known unto ye that what we had then was'nt Afonja as what obtains today. Note that for your health,HY.

Apina:
You are just pathetic, take your miserable frustrated life and stupid opinion elsewhere. Dont quote me again. Animal!

azpekuliar:
On Humphery Nwosu, compare apples with apples and not with oranges. The circumstances under which Nwosu worked cannot be compared to the circumstances under which Jega worked and he performed creditably well.

Firstly, there was nothing independent about NEC then, even now I would consider the current INEC to still be independent in name only. He was intimidated by the top military brass (a large section of whom did not want the transition program to go ahead) and all manner of kangaroo court judgement and injunctions to not conduct the election at all, yet he went ahead. Recall that this was a period where the military was known for gross human rights violations.

Secondly, he introduced reforms that revolutionized elections in this country with the option A4. A reason why till today the election is still adjudged to be the freest and fairest election in Nigeria's history, a feat that Jega did not surpass.

On not announcing the results (officially), the collation was beamed live on a billboard at NEC's headquarters. All the results were in except that of only 1 state - Taraba state. MKO was home and dry already. The results were known to all. I think at this stage he did not wish to push his luck too far against the anti-democratic elements in the AFRC.

I am convinced beyond any doubt that he displayed uncommon courage and forthrightness despite all the shenanigans of the time and such deserves a national award.

oluwaahmed:
Did u expect Humphrey nwosu to go against 4 military dictator who forcefully seized power from a general? Do u know how things were under military rule?
The main blame should go to those his Yoruba brothers that abandoned & betrayed him. Do u know IBB had damning evidence of voter bribery and fraud in the election that made the international community helpless in that situation? Do u know that Al-mustapha was set free bcoz he also had evidence of massive betrayal by high ranking Afonjas? Let themnjus honor the dead president without anyone else bcoz he was on his own during most of his incarceration.

DabuIIIT:
for once in ur life,H.Y laudate yaff finally spoken well.
