Why should i insult you? I only have to draw your attention to facts that you are ignorant of... If you say the south east is land locked now answer these questions it will help you discover the truth about SE being land locked or not.
Does Onitsha not have a river port sitting on the river banks of the river Niger?
Where does the river Niger empty into?
Have multinationals and other companies not used the niger river to get heavy equipments from the Atlantic to the Onitsha port?
If the Obuaku seaport does not empty into the Atlantic why was the sea port propose there by several previous administrations?
I hope you typed your post out of sincere ignorance and not out of hate that you have for igbo's in SS/SE.

Do you have to show us your inability to read and comprehend wtf you read? This your post and even equating it as what the article said showed you don't even know how to read whatsoever. I doubt you even understood wtf written up there. Agbero goat

Well then I'm not shocked. You Afonja are the biggest illiterate known to men. Una rather be agbero than go to school. Wtf do i except from a bunch of savages whose oba begged English men to come and colonize them to stop them from killing each other of like rats. I don't know why the British did as una asked, they should have allowed una to wipe each other of the face of the earth. The less black Savage monkeys in this world, the better.

Ojukwu the legend. The slayer of the Yoruba race. The dragon who strike fear into the hearts of the hausa's/fulani's. The only man powerful enough to tear Nigeria apart. Nigeria's division was what you wanted but they disagreed. Now they are regretting. Continue to rest in peace the intrepid great warrior.

What have your tribe got to do with Buhari's illness and why do you single out Igbos as scapegoat for Buhari's misfortune?
Fayose and FFK are they Igbos too and what about Junaıd Mohammed who said Buhari's presidency is over?
Why do Nigerians always like to scapegoat Igbos in everything that goes wrong in this country?You voted for a man who was obviously sick and ill prepared for the job ahead and still turn around to blame Igbos.SMH.
Op I am sorry for you if you are actually Igbo.

The Vampires, The Otokotos, The Osikankwus, The Baby Factories, The Okijas, The ''Army Robbers'', The Kidnappers, The Drug Traffickers, The Fake Drug Selling peeps, Prostitution etc Others can add more of what they are well known for.

In their myopic sight, they are the only hardworking ones and others are lazy.

Intellect20:


Afonja...I bet this has been bothering him since last night and didn't sleep. They think about Igbos/Biafraans 24/7!

So a whole daura of all places doesnt've a seat n bubu wife is roaming about showing us her charity work na wah oo

Charity they say begins at home buh Aisha"s charity begins outside

Wat a shame

ChimaAdeoye:


Exactly.
Igbos really don't need presidency now. Igbos need to live in freedom, away from oppression from anyone. If Biafra is what freedom means, then we should all support it. If restructured Nigeria will bring freedom, then so be it.

That presidency thing is a mere distraction that can be tackled later. For now supporting a northern progressive such as Atiku will make more sense as we address this issue of treating Igbos as second class citizens of Nigeria and the SE as an alien territory.

Let us deal with the big issues first.

CFCman:
If these two Igbo groups can raise N500bn for a mere presidential election, why can't they do so for improving infrastructure in the South east?

HOW THE YORUBAS BETRAYED AWOLOWO, AND HOW HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Twenty –three years after he suddenly was
reported dead of natural cause and two years
shy of his golden jubilee , facts are now
emerging on the reasons that led to First and
Second Republic political heavyweight ,Late
Chief Obafemi Awolowo committing suicide
It was learned that he did it to stem the tide

of a possible military court martial into an
insurrection he was planning to lead
alongside his political associates at the time
when it became evident that then Military
President ,General Ibrahim Babangida was
intending staying in power forever.
In a no-hold barred interview with FS Online
recently,a grass root politician ,Mr Adebayo
Adeyinka who lives within the College Road at
Ifako-Ijaiye axis in Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos,
Nigeria was livid with rage when he learned
that a key politician connected to the issue
was denying the incident.
He revealed that Chief Awolowo wanted to
lead some kind of guerilla warfare or militant
campaign against the government of
President Babangida so that he can be
overthrown through a popular or people -led
putsch.
According to him , the Elder Statesman
summoned a meeting of his core loyalists
over the issue and this was even filmed so as
to strengthen the extent of commitment of
each of the politician that attended the
meeting..
He pointed out that however unknown to all
of those who were privy to this meeting and
clarion call , Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande
,Former Executive Governor of Lagos State
had a different plan as he betrayed them to
the military .He Said:’ But unknown to them ,
Chief Jakande was planning to betray them,
he went to President Ibrahim Babangida and
promptly showed him the tape
“Papa Awolowo was invited for a meeting
with President Ibrahim Babangida who was
then staying at Dodan Barracks which was the
seat of power as at then and the truth of his
clandestine meetings was revealed to him by
the gap –toothed General
“He gave Papa some options and that was for
him to be ready to face a court martial , be
ready to go to a prison or better still go on
exile
“At this stage Papa felt instead of allowing
some ambitious khaki boy to mess him up he
should just pack it in and call it a day ,so
Chief Awolowo decide to commit suicide so
as to save himself from the ignominy of going
to prison for the second time in his lifetime .
“But before he did this he called his core
loyalists for a meeting ,before then he had
called up Late Chief Bola Ige [Cicero],since
the latter had a very strong understanding of
the Hausa Language having had his formative
years as a young man in Kaduna but
discovered that the late Esa-Oke strongman
was innocent after he was interrogated by
Papa
“He called others for enquiries while asking
them to tender the video cassettes of the
meeting they all attended to discuss the plans
to topple President Babangida for
examination ,at this juncture Chief Jakande
developed a cold feet as he could not
produce his own copy of the video which was
freely distributed to all that was present at
the meeting previously before the betrayal
and that was how the cat was let out of the
bag
“So he cursed him at this point and pointed
out that he will never have any form of
relevance politically as far as Nigeria was
concerned and till today members of the
Awolowo Dynasty avoids him like a plague.
“I was their when the letter he wrote to the
family to beg them for forgiveness over the
unfortunate incident was read in the presence
of all present ,if he continues to deny I am
ready to confront him publicly again on the
same issue as I can even remember that
elders asked him to go to the grave of the
late sage to plead for forgiveness
“When he was questioned he lied that the
National Security Organization now State
Security Services had visited his house to
check on him and in the process took the
tape in question but” Awoists” knew that this
was a very weak argument as he did not
inform their political group of this
development before their enquiry on the
subject
“That was how Senator Abraham Adesanya
assumed the leadership of the Awolowo
camp of Yoruba politics after the demise of
the man ,he was not even so close to
Awolowo during his lifetime like Chief
Jakande and that was why many called him
Baba Kekere on account of this cosy
relationship
“Beforehe gave up the ghost , he said his
prayers and then took the poison which killed
him almost immediately but the public was
not fully aware as they were given a different
account of what happened.
“We were simply told that he died while he
was brushing his teeth in his bathroom at his
Park Lane,Apapa residence here in Lagos
“He was stupendously wealthy during his
lifetime, infact there is know company at Oba
Akran in Ikeja ,Lagos where he does not have
at least a five percent equity, Dideolu Court in
Ogba alone cannot be valued at less than N10
Billion ,that was the place that he had in mind
to be his Seat of power if he was elected as
Nigeria’s President.
‘He owned Shonibare Estate but the man he
was using as a front and who later went to
prison over some issues which Awolowo
himself was privy to eventually laid claim to
the estate
“He got all of this wealth due to a great
measure of goodwill and tax waivers he gave
to investors whenever they come to establish
their business.
“Anytime you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola you
are enriching the Awolowo Dynasty ,go to
Ijebu Ikenne and you will discover that the
price of a bag cement there is different from
other parts of the nation due to the subsidy
that the citizens enjoy on account of Awolowo
who was their son and I hope you know that
West African Portland Cement is in Ewekoro
and not Ikenne.
“On account of this great betrayal Awolowo
family members regard the “Awoist” as a
group people should deal with using a long
spoon till this day and this explains why when
The Peoples Democratic Party Government
gave some of them political appointment
lately they accepted it without thinking twice.
“Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu was made
an Ambassador by Former President
Olusegun Obasanjo while , Mr Segun
Awolowo Jnr was given a plum job at the
Federal Capital Territory in Abuja as a
Secretary.
“Recently when Afenifere was disintegrating
Mama out of concern for her husband’s
legacies decided to call a truce because as she
puts it then, she did not know what she was
going to tell her husband the day they meet
in heaven
“He made Sijuwade rich , because he was his
business associate and in fact some of us held
very strong views that he was one of his
fronts and later the same man became the
Ooni of Ife”he added
Mr Adebayo Adeyinka recalled his several
years of following grass root politics right
from the days of Action Group to the Unity
Party of Nigerian era in the second republic
but now lamented that he had since lost all
interest in partisan politics due to the massive
corruption in our polity.
He listed such blue chips like Dunlop Nigeria
Plc ,Guinness Nigeria Plc, Neimeth
Pharmaceutical Nigeria Plc ,May and Baker
Nigeria Plc ,Vitafoam Nigeria Plc ,Wahum
Nigeria Limited ,CAP Nigeria Plc ,
International Paints of West Africa [IPWA],
Berger Paints Nigeria Plc ,Berec Nigeria
Limited ,Kabelmetal, Nigeria Bottling
Company Plc ,Leventis Nigera Plc ,West
African Portland Cement Company,
[Lafarge ],Wema Bank Nigeria Plc, Scoa
Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria
Plc ,Wemaboard Estates, Odu’A Group,
Livestock Feeds Nigeria Plc , Nigerian
Breweries Plc as places the Awolowo family
have commercial interest to mention just a
few.
Apart from this stocks analysts believe that
the most visible of his investment ,The
Nigerian Tribune Newspapers cannot be
valued at less than N100billion today in terms
of brand evaluation as Thisday Newspapers
was valued by the Owner ,.Mr Nduka
Obaigbena at N200 Billion recently during a
media chart while celebrating his fiftieth
birthday sometimes last year.
Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a leader
who believed that the state should channel
Nigeria’s resources into education and state –
led infrastructural development.
At his own expense albeit controversially ,he
introduced the free primary education for all
of the Western Region ,he equally established
the first television service in Africa in 1959
and expanded electrification projects in the
region using the proceeds from the highly
lucrative Cocoa export industry.
The Cocoa House in Ibadan regarded by
many as one of the major landmarks of
Nigeria’s architectural history was built as a
result of his economic blueprint which was
targeted towards the emancipation of his
people from poverty
He built the first stadium in West Africa , the
Liberty Stadium ,Ibadan and he coined the
name “Naira “for Nigeria’s official currency ,it
was previously called Nigerian Pounds.
During the 1970’s ,he was very critical of
Nigeria’s military expenditure insisting that
more should be spent on development
He ran a free health care programme for
children up till the age of eighteen years .
On his death on the 9th of May,1987 as a
mark of respect for his legacies ,The
University Of Ile-Ife which ironically he
helped to build as Premier of the Old Western
Nigeria was re-named in his honour as part
of a post humous celebration of his life and
times.
His portraits adorn public places in Nigeria
especially in his native Yoruba land where he
is seen as an icon.
His picture also adorn Nigeria’s one hundred
naira note.
He has been described surprisingly by some
of his greatest critics and even political
opponents as probably the Best President
Nigeria never had.
He struck a chord with the womenfolk during
his lifetime when in a rare show of public
affection for his wife of several years, Chief
Mrs Hannah Dideolu Awolowo told the world
that the woman was his jewel of inestimable
value.
Howright or prophetic he was because his
wife has continued to strengthen the mileage
of the husband’s name even in death.
During an exclusive interview with FS Online
at his Ilupeju home in Lagos last year, Chief
Lateef Jakande upon being probed with
questions over his relationship with Late Chief
Obafemi Awolowo on account of what feelers
were suggesting had denied that they had a
bad relationship shortly before his death.He
insisted that those that said that they had any
problems between them prior to Chief
Awolowo’s death were not been honest as
they were all telling lies.
