Okay. Thanks for updating me

GanagiBitrus:
There should be a Playoff competition between Copa winner & Euro Winner let's know who be King.


OK. Just confirmed it newly started after the last Copa & Euro.
Argentina beat Italy 3-0 👍

I think you should tag FIFA on this, it's a brilliant suggestion

Tellmeastory:
Is it beyond you people to build your streets like this?

This is not London. It's Kigali, Rwanda who have no oil.

Haaa. These roads here can't match roads in Asaba. Why do you guys always see other places better than yours, so much inferiority complex.

agadez007:
Dont mind those y.ibos,they should come to Ogun state and see world class roads
Okada riders don’t need to go far to look for water to wash their bike,the ultra modern bike wash in the roads of Abeokuta build by Eleyi one of Ogun state can Cather for that

My Brother Dapo Abiodun is a disgrace to us. Ogun State has so much potential.

Nonybb:
Up till now I don't know why they haven't arrested Okezie Ikpeazu for looting Abia state for 8 years. Is it because of this affiliation with Wike; a man that bought Chief Justice position to his wife.

How much did Wike pay. If you are arrested now, you will be shouting. Why do you think that Woman does not merit her elevation? Your hate is stemmed from your hating of her husband.
By the way, Wike's wife was elevated to the court of appeal and not Chief Justice. You lacked knowledge and your mouth still dey leak.

hisgrace090:
Musk is right..
But in Nigeria nobody dares to support an opposition candidate openly do to high level hipocrisy.

In everything, you guys must find a way to drag and diss Nigeria. At the end of the day we are all doing ourselves bad. An event that has no bearing with Nigeria. Wetin
You will surely have a share of the effects

FuckTheMod:
Most Nigerians are hardened greedy and arrogant criminals. Dangotè is one example.

19 dollars will actually build 3 standard refineries with bigger capacity than the dangotè refinery.

ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT SURPRISED THAT DANGOTÈ IS CLAIMING TO BE BUYING CRUDE OIL FROM USA? YET THE BASTARD IS CRYING THAT SOME INTERNATIONAL CABALS (WEST THAT INCLUDES USA) ARE TRYING TO PULL HIS REFINERY DOWN.

HOW CAN YOU BE BUYING FUEL FROM USA WHEN NIGERIA IS THE 6TH LARGEST PRODUCER AND EXPORTER OF CRUDE OIL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Why not build your own at a cheaper costs. That will help you, Nigeria and humanity

iamphilips:
At least they're seeing visible progress ( electricity, Good roads n Good economy) unlike US here. Food prices, inflation n insecurity wan finish us here.

That's why you think he should seek reelection after 24 years in power

Dshocker:
I can bet this woman is not yet married, and she draws advice from her experience.

Meanwhile, she used to be on the board of directors leading feminism in Nigeria.

Now she has seen the bitter truth that feminism leads them to nothing but sadness and rejection.

mrvitalis:
Zik only argued against succession... The decision to put it or remove it was with the British and it's was 1956

Don't worry na u would keep having igbos in your face.. U can only run to faceless forums like this to complain

I don't have a single hate for Igbos. I have very good Igbo friends, including many Imo and Anambra girls, we roll real good.
My point here is that you should stop pointing a finger like Sanwo Olu, because the other four fingers will be pointing at you.
You must also agree mistakes were made in the past which is why we are human. One of us, Yoruba made mistakes in Ilorin century ago, that's the reality. You can't see any of us defending such mistakes, this is where we are a different from you guys. Stop defending the mistakes your past leaders made
One love Bro

Mbanda:
Has Soyinka celebrated Obi before on his birthday? Which law made it compulsory that it must be only Obi that should be celebrating Soyinka?

How do you guys reason like this? So how then is Obi any better, this is petty

mrvitalis:
Is its not better we go our separate ways like the Balkans

It makes zero sense sharing a country with people u don't trust

First things first igbos had by far the majority of military officers then by far more than any other group mind you the British recruited all of them based on merit

So if military officers planned coup igbos would be the majority

Those who were killed died because the refused to surrender to the military officers

But that's too infancy let's blame the Igbo nation

I have said it before, Nnamdi Azikwe removed secession from the 1960 Constitution and by default the 1963 Constitution. Aguyi Ironsi removed the Regional government. The are both Igbos. So what are guys shouting about. Your forefathers are the Unity beggers. Azikwe even made a request for secession treasonable and so has it been till today.
To amend the Constitution, I will suggest that your Senators and House of Representative members should present such bill. Or All Igbos can relocate to the East.
For me it's hypocritical for Igbos to expect others to start the constitutional amendment to let them go.

phemmie06:
Congratulations, at least you will have a rest of mind and be yourself.

Sultan of Sokoto was a serving military officer when his father died in the ill fated plane crash with some family members and When he was chosen as the emir he retired voluntarily

He was chosen as the Sultan not Emir.

ChukwuEmeka00:
The January 1966 coup was a praise worthy revolution.

It didn't go as planned, but the coup plotters did what no one has ever had the courage to do since then.

How could you keep justifying this coup that obviously set Nigeria into the path of many deaths. Justifying and praising the plotters who are majorly Igbos simply opens old wounds and again show how insensitive people like you can be where events that concerns others are.

FreeStuffsNG:
The idea for a secession clause was mooted by Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1954, during the Lagos Constitutional Conference, but Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it and galvanised a majority of the conference attendees to kill the idea.

After this was rejected, Chief Awolowo again wrote to the then Governor General of Nigeria, who rejected the clause on the grounds that the majority, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, were not in support of it.

It was because of Nnamdi Azikiwe that section 86 was inserted into our constitution with the proviso that if any region should secede, it will be an act of treason.

Nnamdi Azikiwe himself wrote about this in an essay, which was published by the New Nigerian Newspapers in 1975, and has since been republished by other papers and by Mr Azikiwe himself.
This is shocking

Are just knowing this? Igbos can't blame anybody except themselves

Ballzproblem2:
embarrassing

He knows where his shoe was giving him pains. I pray you don't have such issues, you will not have shame to testify

SadiqBabaSani:
Jagajaga administration, the citizenship are so detached from this regime walahi

Talk of yourself. I fully support this initiative. I'm not an fan of PBAT, but this is a piece of an initiative that's long overdue

eleniyan2020:
obi is doing well on 25km Road he construct..I can bet with my life ogbomosho is far better than umbria!

Sorry Bro, are you supporting Dapo Abiodun? Please don't do that. Let's all join hands to call him out. Ogun State Roads are in very Bad shape

ariesbull:
I have been to Ogun and trust me Ogun is terrible ! I am focusing on Ogun from Itori to Ijebu to Sango are all bad roads

Horrible, simply horrible. It's simply a shame with the volume of Money going there.

ariesbull:
tell your brother

These pictures are Agulu road bro ...pictures don't lie ..East has gone far


They will all say you are Igbo ...but Agulu has fantastic roads ...also Abia is fantastic

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, on Tuesday commissioned the 15th road project executed in Aba within one year of his stay in office. Governor Otti commissioned the University Road, Green Avenue, and College Road, all in Aba, with a pledge to transform the commercial capital of the state into a modern, functional city. “We are glad to be delivering the 15th road in Aba. By the time we commission this roads, we would have commissioned 15 new roads that we to

I will lose count if I should start listing road projects in South West. But what's is in chest beating if Nigeria in a whole is still at this redumentary level of development. We all can do better

Alexiiydon:
tell me what your agulu fraud did in 8 years as a governor

Bro I'm a blue blood Omoluabi. I don't know any Agulu. We must all come together and called our leaders out. Dapo is a second term governor, he hasn't done well on road infrastructures. I was in Ifo not long ago, the state of the road is the worst in the entire South West.
If you work for Gov Dapo please, do find a way to bring this to his attention.

TechBaron:
He is right though...

But what he failed to understand is that "Nigeria is an animal farm where everything flies"

Even he that is speaking was sent to prison for one month...

He's not right. Maybe he should read that law again and school himself.

Alexiiydon:
so he suddenly turn to VDM you’re a clown

How is he a clown. Maybe you are the clown here. Portable just used his platform to speak and call out Gov Dapo.
The best of Portable to date

Intellectt:
Portable is trying harder to stay relevant

The very best thing he has used his fame to do. Callout these politicians. I think other Superstars should emulate this

whatisthetruth:
Dude, you are so Brilliant

Meen, that is definitely a burn pattern that is consistent with every single one of them.

Oh my goodness, maybe you should be a detective or something, maybe not in naija sha, but your brain is definitely popping

Which Brain is popping? These guys were shot in the open confrontation with the Police at Ladipo Market. Why do you guys support criminals?

Akenzua01:
100% true.. Those guys were first tortured, because the marks are all over them..

This country is gone, no live is safe in nigeria again

But this criminal were at Ladipo to kidnap an Igbo Man, the Igbo Man notified the police and an ambush was laid for them. The criminals engaged the Nigeria Police in public shootout and they were outgunned.
Maybe you should ask Ndigbo in Ladipo.

Coldie:
I am not justifying the reason for his death, I am trying to make an analysis of y they were targeted, that’s my views of how I think was the reason they targeted them. Especially at the heat of the western crisis which they were DIRECTLY responsible for.


If u remove sentiments did I lie?

Lol. I can understand why the war. Your argument is seriously annoying

VinnyBaba:
Why CAN'T you read well? 😏

The OP already explained that Balewa, Ahmadu Bello,Akintola and Okotie-Eboh were all Killed because they are Actual Cause of the Unrest we had in Nigeria then.😒

You expect the Coupists to Kill Azikiwe who held no Important office?
Or Michael Okpara who had no Business with anything at the Federal level?

You are making my arguments. How do you then account for the top Military Officers officers of Northern and Western lineage that were executed yet, Agonyi Iroson escaped. Man you are laughable.
This is the position of the Igbos that conflagrate the whole situation.

Coldie:
January 1966 coup took place that saw the deaths of prominent figures from all over Nigeria, Except the eastern region. All the coup plotters were southerners and majority were of Igbo extraction.

For decades I kept reading people make accusations and counter accusations of if it was an igbo coup or not. I decided to look deeper. My findings are as follows:

Many Nigerians don’t know this but at the time when Nigeria employed merit in alot of things, at a time when justice and fairness was the order of the day, at a time when Nigeria never spoil, when corruption was minimal, when we were able to be a prospering economy even without being an oil producing nation, Nigerians thrived but one stood out amongst all. The igbo man. This standing out brought envy, hatred and plots against the Igbos simply for just thriving in a fair system. I would explain as we go on.

The interior east was amongst the last places that education got to, northerners and westerners have been educated long before easterners. Northerners were educated in the Islamic way, whether it’s not the western or secular education, they already had the culture of learning, westerners were amongst the first to meet the British, education penetrated the west far before the east. But when education got to the east, the speed it was embraced was so much that westerners that originally were educated earlier, had to declare free education to catch up, it reached the extent that during the progroms in the north, how they identify an igbo man is speaking English. As a result of this education, it gave igbos an edge in an impartial and fair world run by the British. Many people don’t know this but before 1967 igbos/Easterners used to make up 60% of the army. This was because entry into the army in the past required that u have a certain level of education, and igbos had it in abundance then. Igbos not just made up majority in the army, Igbos held high offices in the army.

Naturally if you guys are a majority in the army and hold the major posts in the army, any thing happening in the army would involve you. The 5majors were wrong in truncating our democracy and ushering in a military regime that would cause problems down the line, but that’s a story for another day. My major work here is to explain why it might look as an igbo coup but it wasn’t intended to, they were right and they were wrong.

All the victims of the coups except the casualties like people whose wives were caught in the cross fire m, the victims smhw instigated their deaths. Though I wish it never happened.

Ahmadu bello, I support him on certain things and I am against many things he did, I support the norths stance on Nigeria not being ready for independence, I am against Ahmadu bello dividing Nigerians after independence, after independence Ahmadu bello did an interview, and he talked about igbo domination, in this interview: he says if there are 10labourers in a camp, and one is igbo, within a year the igbo man would try to emerge as head of the camp, he didn’t accuse the igbo man of trying to steal from the camp, how is an igbo man’s individual effort to succeed a bad thing according to him? This his remarks is part of what made him a target. The second one involves his participation in the western crisis. Here I would bring in Sir Akintola.

Sir Akintola was the premier of western region, at a time when they had their action group, while Obafemi swollen was of the opinion of extending the had of the west towards the rest of the south, Akintola was of the opinion that they extend it towards the north, during this period Akintola a power tussle between akintola abd swollen erupted and akintola ended up getting voted out of power. After he was removed from power him and his followers got violent and that was how the western crisis started. During this the federal government intervened, if u read up what I wrote above and even read up history, the antagonist here is Akintola, but what Tafawa balewa the then prime minister did was to arrest awolowo and charge him for treason, this is pure injustice. An election was done while awolowo was away and there was massive rigging, voters suppression and violence, the people that were seeing the people ontop do all those things while they followed orders were the military. And who make up majority of the military then “Igbos”. All these happened and Akintola was put back in power. This actions here was part of what I think made Akintola a target of the coup.

Sir Tafawa balewa, he was the prime minister the man at the top, tafawa balewa might be the man ontop but he was put there by Ahmadu bello, the votes that got him into power were from his npc party which was northern people party, which was the region Ahmadu bello ruled over. Tafawa balewa actions of declaring a state of emergency on the west over an isolated incident that happened only in Lagos which obafemi awolowo cried out against, his role in putting akintola back in power depute his atrocities and rigging of the western region elections, was what I think made him a target.

Sir festus Okotie eboh, back then the number one most attacked person on the media attacked by opposition [mainly the west] was festus eboh, reason is that he was the minister of finance and he was known for his extravagant lifestyle and had some corruption allegations against him, i think his name being the first poster boy for corruption was part of what made him a victim.

These above are the major victims of the 1966 coup. Everything I told you make ur personal research I can debate with anybody who thinks otherwise, make ur research and you would know they were guilty, only mistake those military officers made was taking laws into their hands.

The reason why there was no major igbo leader as victim.
Nnamdi azikiwe as at then was out of the country, Michael okpara then premier of the eastern region was not involved in the crisis. The crisis was a north/south west alliance push gone sour. So do you expect the young majors back then who thought they were fighting for Nigeria future, a future without tribalism and corruption, to just locate Sir Michael okpara and kill him for nothing just because they want the killing to be fair?

It has been said many times, it’s a fact, the coup plotters who survived said it many times, the original goal of their coup was to put Obafemi awolowo back in power, if this was an igbo agenda y would they go through such stress to put a non igbo into power? The major things those young military officers did back then was:
Taking matters into their hands, which was a big mistake, another mistake they did was killing, arresting the leaders should have been the last resort, but resorting to killing is what made things worst.

Say the truth?

You can see yourself. It's your type of reasoning that led to the counter coup and the civil war. How can you justify the killings of Sir Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and others?
Nnamdi Azikwe was conviently on vacation and Mike Okpara was not part of the problem. You can see that you are in no way different from the coup plotters who conviently spared their kind men by hinting them of impending coup this allowing them all to escape.
SAD

My people, I am.bothered about the decision my sister is taking... This is my twin sister she is 23years old... I am here in Lagos while she is schooling in Enugu... Now, she called our mom telling her dat she has found someone who wants to marry her, we were happy, I didn't have any problem with that... You know on a norms, I asked my sister about this man and what I heard didn't sit well with me at all... I am among those guys dat believe in a good healthy relationship dat grows with positivity I am against gold digging... But, unfortunately my blood sister is exhibiting gold digging.
The man in question she wants to marry is a man who is not fully separated from his wife and this man is in his 40s and has three kids already, but he is rich and that was what attracted my sister to him I know, but I am not in support... My mom as well is not in support, our younger bro is also not in support, but my sister has made up her mind🤦🏾‍♂️... She doesn't know what she is getting herself into...

Omo, naija girls sha

I think you guys should let her be. Polygamy is part of our life in Africa and sincerely do not see anything wrong with it. A woman seeks for a man that can provide, protect and love her, if all these ingredients are okay with her, why are you using your moral lense to decide for her?
She will be okay
