dem wan scam this one....common sense will tell you that if illuminati and the way they talked about the cult group is true then they would never send such messages on socia media literally begging an artiste to come and join them most especially a failed artiste like jaywon when there are bigger and more successful artistes and people all over the world ......there are many scammers out there pretending to be from illuminati...even some of them dey create different threads on Nairaland....use your street sense.......be wise....

Point of correction oga, they don't look for ready-made people, but desperate to be famous and get-rich by force pple especially frustrated entertainers... Those are their easy targets, cos they will promise them what they are lacking or dying to have

marv1:
Useless set of people only trying to defend corruption indirectly. Is he not in a position to legislate an anticorruption bill and make things easier for the executive? But they can legislate looters to return 70% of his loots and be forgiven but someone that stole a phone can be jailed 19 years.
Useless dis- honourable people.

Their quiet prayers is for the executive to fail or get distracted in its corruption war so they can can have peace of mind while leaving office. I noticed that they are always at loggerheads with the executives when it comes to anticorruption. LEGISLOOTERS!

dlondonbadboy:
You are talking about corruption because the interests that Nigeria money is producing is not made known to you...Because some money that the country is producing is not being made known unto you..that's the corruption.

You fool...you are always silent about things that affects the average Nigerian..

Uhnn! I think you are making sense

These Legislators would prefer someone that would be eternally grateful to them and also see them as "the untouchables"-a paper tiger in short. Someone they can spoon-feed. The gang-up will fail

RoyalUc:
No doubt, Magu is not the only Nigerian with the capacity to run the EFCC but what's the ground for rejecting him? DSS report? Is DSS report a court conviction? Why is Saraki who is standing trial for alleged forgery still the Senate President? If Magu has failed thier integrity test, has Saraki or the chief agitator, Melaye passed thesame test?
On building strong institutions. Yes, Nigeria needs strong institutions and not strong individuals, but did you know anything about NAFDAC until Dora came? Did you hear anything about EFCC during the last administration that built strong institutions?
If they're honest, let them remove Saraki then Magu will go.

GBAM!!!

An average thief does not like disciplined law enforcement agents, likewise our Legislators[looters] would never see anything good in Magu other than to eliminate him so that they will have peace of mind. Àwọn olè gbogbo!

This is the kind of educative thread that I wish it lasts as many weeks as possible, though without the insults. I have now known much about the Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi, cos it has really perturbed me why they are so detached from the rest of their kins in the south west. Keep it up guys

I pray earnestly that this kind of day should come quickly in Nigeria. A day our Senate will wish they were never born Nigerians

So if one or two buildings are burning, does that make the whole university to be on fire?

I don't blame them, what have we done with the money they've been given us for a while now? We're wasteful in this part of the world, we will rather waste it on our Legislators than to develop infrastructures that will benefit generations to come.

Good development. But hope the price would not skyrocket locally?

A normal man controls his mouth /utterances, but for Fayose, it's the other way round.

lofty900:
They'll always cry domestic violence but will never say the atrocities they committed to warrant such. Imagine beating a sick old woman?

Na so our women be o. After attacking first, they will now be in the defensive attracting sympathizers

Some women are masters in RESURRECTING the DEAD DEMON in a peace-loving man...

A middle-aged man, whose wife was rescued from his grips, while he was beating her, has said that he was provoked by her ill-treatment of his sick mother.
At the moment, his wife, Joy Abiagan, is nursing an injury in her right eye in a hospital in Ogun State.
The victim, who also complained of body pains, accused her husband of striping her naked in public at their Ifo home, Ogun State.
When contacted, her husband, Francis Abiagan, accused his wife of being disrespectful to his ailing mother.
According to him, “I have been married for 10 years. My mother had stroke and no one was available to give her special care. My greatest undoing was to bring her home, as my wife would not allow her a moment of rest.
“I have been accommodating all her siblings, but in return for my gesture, they (siblings) have turned my life into a nightmare.
“First, she started by starving her so I decided to hire a house help, who would be cooking and caring for her.
“But the humiliation on my mother came to a height after my wife was seen dragging my mother on the ground, calling her a witch. I have been enduring all other insults, but I could not bear this particular one.
“She told the cook not to come again. The church where we worship organised several meetings for us, urging her to change, but she refused.
“I gave her the treatment she deserves.”

When wise men speak. Kindly read this article by Onyebuchi Ememanka. A must read by people who appreciate history.

"BETWEEN OJUKWU AND NNAMDI KANU

On May 30, 1967, following a chain of events in Nigeria, and following weeks of serious consultations between Ojukwu who was the Military Governor of the then Eastern Region and a cross section of the people, Ojukwu made that historic announcement which proclaimed the sovereign state of Biafra.

The day he made that proclamation, the hall at Enugu was filled to capacity. The finest brains from this part of the country were there. Leaders of thought, Traditional Rulers, soldiers, members of the academia, etc.

In his opening speech that day, Ojukwu said...
"YOU, THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN NIGERIA...

After outlining several powerful preambles, he said...

HAVING MANDATED ME TO PROCLAIM ON YOUR BEHALF AND IN YOUR NAME THE EASTERN NIGERIA TO BE A SOVEREIGN STATE,

NOW THEREFORE, I LT. COL CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU, MILITARY GOVERNOR OF EASTERN NIGERIA, PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORITY AND ABOVE RECITALS DO HEREBY SOLEMNLY PROCLAIM....

Ojukwu was a wise man. He studied history at Oxford. He understood the psychology of the Igbos and our neighbors. He knew he couldn't act alone. He knew he needed the support of the people.

When that announcement was made, there was an explosion of joy across the entire Eastern Nigeria.
Our finest brains were fully with him. Sir Louis Mbanefo, the first Igbo lawyer accepted to serve as Chief Justice of Biafra. Others like Achebe, Okigbo, etc were there.

Ojukwu understood that Biafra wasn't an Igbo thing. It was never. He brought in an Efik man as his Second in Command. His name was General Philip Effiong. The Secretary to the Government of Biafra was, Chief N. U Akpan, from Ibiono LGA I the present day Akwa Ibom State also Efik astir were then. It was an Eastern Nigerian agenda. Even a Yoruba officer, Tunji Banjo abandoned his own people and fought for Biafra.
That is the power of ideas supported by popular acclaim.
Our people were happy. We were enthusiastic. The people had spoken through their leader.

In January 1970 when the war ended, Ojukwu had fled to the Ivory Coast. He handed over to General Philip Effiong, a fine gentleman from Ibiono Ibom LGA in the present day Akwa Ibom State. When there was no more sense continuing with the war, Effiong didn't just make an announcement on his own. He consulted our people. Even in the heat of an excruciating war, Effiong never acted alone.

In his last speech to the Biafran people, Effiong said...

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, I WAS ASKED TO BE THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THIS REPUBLIC ON JANUARY 10,1970...

I HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE CONSULTATIONS WITH THE LEADERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES BOTH MILITARY AND CIVIL, AND I AM NOW ENCOURAGED AND HASTEN TO MAKE THIS STATEMENT TO YOU...BY THE MANDATE OF THE ARMED FORCES AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.

He spoke and spoke. Commending our people for the resilience during the war but stated that it was time to end it.

He set up a committee to negotiate with the Nigerian government. That committee was to be led by Chief Justice Mbanefo, Prof Eni Njoku, Chief Bassey and Chief Aguma . Bassey was from Cross River and Aguma, from Rivers.

He then set up a committee of eminent persons to ADVISE HIM on the issues that will arise. That committee had people from across the entire Eastern Nigeria, from the military and outside. There were Igbos, Efiks, Ijaws, etc. They were men of honor and substance.

I have taken the pains to present this preamble so that our people can compare and contrast between the scenarios we had and what we have now.

All we hear and see today are unilateral proclamations. No consultation with anybody. This young man simply wakes up and makes far reaching proclamations. In doing this, he is urged on mainly by a coterie of street urchins and a mob followership, most of whom were not born when we fought the first war.
The latest in this madness is the proclamation that Igbos will not vote in the 2019 elections, starting with Anambra this November. He didn't ask the people of Anambra what they wanted. He just woke up and made an order and expects that Igbos are zombies. We shall see.

Education is very important. If this guy had the benefit a proper education, he would have known why indirect rule failed in Igboland but succeeded in other parts of the country. When indirect rule failed, the colonial leaders introduced the Warrant Chiefs who were Lords. The entire arrangement ended in a fiasco.
Igbos are by their nature, republicans and act after detailed analysis and wide spread consultations. No one can order the Igbo people around according to his own whims and caprices. Even if what you ask of them is right, the mere fact that you woke up to say it without asking them will make them resist it.
Igbos don't have powerful kings and rulers. Igbos don't by tradition prostrate before anybody. We act by a unity of purpose.

Tell me one decent and notable Igboman who is with this guy in this his movement.
Will he fight the war alone?

What does he think secession is? A cartoon film?

The original Biafra was not an Igbo thing entirely. While Igbos were in the majority, there were others too. Today, what we have is a purely designed Igbo agitation. This is not the Biafra that Ojukwu had in mind. The other people feel uncomfortable with it and have said no.

Finally, let me ask Kanu one question. If by his imperial order, Igbos refuse to vote in 2019, what of those Igbos who were elected in a state like Lagos?
Two Igbos are in the House of Reps representing two constituencies in Lagos State. One Igbo guy is in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
What becomes of them?

Those that know him should tell him to go and sleep over this his thing. He is a young man and should ask questions and consult his people before coming out to speak.

All through history, no single individual has spoken for the Igbos except the people ask him to, or he will be alone in the market place.

Finally, I will advise Kanu to go and read ACHEBE's books, THINGS FALL APART AND ARROW OF GOD. They were written by Chinua Achebe, one of the finest Igbo brains who took active part in the war.
In those two books, the republican nature of the Igbo man were in full display. The emphasis we place on unity and consultation. All decisions must be collectively reached for it to have efficacy.

In THINGS FALL APART, when Okonkwo got too powerful and decided to run a one man show, he ended up committing suicide and his body was buried by strangers in the evil forest. The people abandoned him. It didn't matter that he was the most popular and most powerful man in the land who had brought them honor severally.
Obierika, Okonkwo's best friend who was a more deeper man said to the white man...THIS WAS THE GREATEST MAN IN UMUOFIA, YOU DROVE HIM TO KILL HIMSELF AND NOW, HE WILL BE BURIED LIKE A DOG.

IN ARROW OF GOD, Ezeulu misunderstood that the allegiance the people gave to him was by virtue of his office as the Priest of Ulu, their deity. When he became too powerful and started toying with the people, the people arose against both him and the deity. The rest was history. Even while he reigned as Ezeulu, he was constantly questioned and harassed by some men like the rambunctious Nwaka.

Please tell Nnamdi Kanu to cultivate the habit of reading.

Russia!!!

Donald Trump hailed Monday’s Supreme Court ruling which partially reinstates the US president’s travel ban targeting citizens from six mainly Muslim countries as a victory for national security.
US President, Donald Trump
“Today’s unanimous Supreme Court decision is a clear victory for our national security,” Trump said in a White House statement.
“It allows the travel suspension for the six terror-prone countries and the refugee suspension to become largely effective. As president, I cannot allow people into our country who want to do us harm.

Beautiful! The more beautiful, the more problems they come with...

This is the kind of awareness those politicians would never pray the electorates would ever have, so that the electorates would be perpetually subdued, pauperized in the society. I never knew that there is an opportunity for the pple to recall any ailing senator. This is an eye-opener. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

"MIND WHO YOU MARRY". Later in life, this woman will be eager for a serious relationship/marriage, I wonder the guy that would want to risk any relationship with her. Any little misunderstanding, she'll start exposing her man's flaws to the whole world . very very uncultured organism.

obataokenwa:
Everything was calm till Churchhil replied that fathers Day picture and it has opened a can of worms. Nigeria don't have any news for us, so we petch on any news we see so as to keep life going.

Agree my brother! That Tonto girl is someone no sensible guy should ever pray to transact business with, talk less of marriage. As she's exposing her ex's shortcomings, she's also exposing her immaturity and inadequacies.

I'm getting irritated with this Tonto/Churchill family saga. Can't Tonto keep her issues private?Maybe na me dey show unworthy interest. Bullshit!

A man can be known to be a Doctor or accountant, but can still have some side-runs which can be criminal. Believing that all the money brought by such a man is from his accounting job would be an error. I think the right question is "where do you get this money from?". Knowing clearly that it couldn't have been from his legitimate job,that's if the woman is not greedy/have ants in her eyes/a gold digger.

What of the other corners - SW, SE, and NW corners?

She's a very good example of women that doesn't care what their men do to fend for the family, so far he brings money home. See the foolish talk she dey yearn. Gold digger
