Jesus. Take control Lord. Nigeria is bleeding. Innocent souls. This is terrible. Sad. Thoroughly Disturbing.

I just have simple questions. Prior to the 1966 coup that led to the death of Sarduana and Tafa Balewa, Was there ever any incident of Northern Agression against igbos or yorubas or any other tribe recorded in History ?

Is it true or is it a lie that there is a video online where Nzeogwu talks proudly about how he killed Sarduana?


Even Sarduana had issues with igbos which was againist the so called national conscience independence fighters of nigeria had.

Is it a bloody lie that songs existed on how the igbos were taunting northerners after the coup and pictures even existed ?

Why didnt Ironsi kill the coup plotters?

Akintola(Premier of western region) Died in the coup. Fajuyi(first military governor of the former Western Region, Nigeria) died in the counter coup.

All in All, The no Victor no Vanquished speech was not what we needed. Wounds of the first 1966 coup havent healed. Northerners are still bitter. We need a truth and reconciliation panel like the oputa panel kind of thing before we can even talk of secession or restructuring.

I support the biafran movement for one simple reason;for the next 100 years, none of the 19 northern states will ever vote an igbo man or woman as president however we need to discuss the war and its causes and the way forward . I dont think igbos and northerners ever had issues in recorded history prior to the killing of Tafa Balewa and Sarduana by igbo led officers and ironsi didnt take decisive action

Salvation is the only thing the devil cannot give. That promise of eternal life cannot be gotten from the devil or sitting on the fence. Making heaven is very very difficult. God help us all.

Absolutely nothing would have been gained. 'They' will ignore that though as it doesn't fit their narrative.

As for Ojukwu, may his soul rest in peace. The man did something that not many Igbo leaders are willing to do in this day and age, even if he was a bit naïve at times.

Had ojukwu stayed and fought till the end and died in war ,he would have died a martyr and people would have seen him as a true hero and it would have fuelled a greater desire for biafra . If not for nnamdi kanu, the desire for biafra died in 1970. Another issue is the nature of his escape . Try and read Philip effiongs account of this. Finally, he really shouldn't have contested to be president of Nigeria. All in all , Thanks to nnamdi for reviving the movement . I'm yoruba but I can say without prejudice that the igbos are marginalized for the simple reason that an igbo man or woman will never ever be president of Nigeria while we have 19 northern states. The best bet is for an igbo man or woman to be vp then the yaradua situation happens. That's why I now support biafra for the igbos. However, ojukwu wasn't a hero or icon.

Open up the seaports in Rivers, Delta, Cross River state and see if the VAT will not increase, the Lagos we see is because of the see ports and the airport, there's nothing special about Lagos, all the. Coastal states had same value both they neglected them and focused only on Lagos, but if the Govt should open up all the ports in the Niger Delta, you would experience a lot of growth.

How do you then explain ogun state.

Call me bad belle but this is vain as vain can be. Only if the likes of elon musk or Jeff bezos or Bill gates would do the same. Empty barrel making the loudest noise. No iota of humility. Sad. And he had to top it off with a sarcastic prayer. Shallow. No wonder his wife left him . Olobe nigga.

Deuteronomy 29:29New International Version (NIV)

29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

My people, as it stands the Nigerian project is hopeless. All these power mongers and opportunists have ruined the country . Abati is saying the truth . This is the same abati that was very vocal back in the day in patitos gang. But even abati is or has been a problem to Nigeria too. All in all. If you can leave Nigeria please do before it's too late. If you cannot please ensure you give birth to your children in the USA or Canada so they can get citizenship. Nigeria will not get better under APC or PDP. And there's no hope in the kind of youths visible in Nigeria today with the likes of adebola Williams and cashtivists like omojuwa among many others
All in all, there's no hope for Nigeria.

wow. Just wow. Only if lai mohammed can be this honest

I doubt if any of them including GTB can match the current black market rate. It's madness for GTB to be charging 370-380 when black market rate is less than 370. It's cheaper for you to get a dollar card and fund it with dollars you buy from mallam

YourImaginaryBF:
this corrupt senate has refused to confirm Magu because there are currently 8 lawmakers, Senate President inclusive, that have cases with the EFCC. Not confirming magu meant limiting his powers.

Your point is valid but should we discard the dss report ? Or do you think the Senate influenced the dss on both ocassions ? Is the dss not under the executive? Maybe the Senate should invite the dss staff who published the report . Is magu the only angel in efcc ? Cos magu is Nigeria's j edgar Hoover abi ?

Jesus is the master key

After that Tunisia 94 Atlanta 96 team, no other Nigerian football team of any grade level has come close.

I'm more concerned that osibanjo and buhari spoke for an hour and couldn't take a picture together . Thats weird.

I never wanted to help because of idiots like you

I said i would provide the home address, that's all, did i tell you to give me money

Bastard

Biko no vex. I get your point that you can't just gate crash her place. But if we can get pictures or if one way or the other we can get her email or if at least she can be made aware of this thread one way or the other that will be so nice. We have been on this search for a long time. If she acknowledges this thread or wants to be interviewed, some of us can send our questions to the creator of this thread and we can get an interview from her. This reminds me of a documentary I watched recently, searching for sugarman. The difference is our own search is online. I really hope she wants to talk about her career and pray she doesn't turn out to be another Charles onyeabor who also has his own documentary the fantastic man but refused to be interviewed. Please help any means you also deem fit apart from the ways I have suggested . Thanks .

Really missed that sweet voice

I think this song was by princess bunmi olajubu. She's late now. I don't know if funmi Adams also did a cover .

Finally front page. Hopefully someone will provide some key information. Thanks to the moderator

Biafra had existed for close to 3 years in the late 60s so everything is defined already and not new.

Here is the map

I get your point but as we didn't have a say in the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914 most of the people in what is now known as the Niger delta or south south didn't have much say in 1967. What we are saying is let every of these states in south south except Edo and south east vote if they want biafra or not. Anything less than that is repeating the problem of 1914 . If akwa ibom and bayelsa and others vote to join biafra then we can move to the next phase

I'm sorry but biafra is actually a south east movement. Trying to add oil producing states of the south south same. way ojukwu did is jumping the bandwagon but yet again that's hypothetical. Let the people of the south south decide if they want to join the biafran movement . Wish we could have this vote this year so that we can at least know how many states want to join biafra.

Hope he has done NYSC ? Not sure Zahra did nysc either

Lol. A bar midas near my house was raided and they arrested workers and some customers. This raid was also carried out in other bars in ikorodu during broad day light. This is the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen in my life. The bar near my house also has a pharmacist and barber's shop. The pharmacist was the one who went viral on social media pleading for his life and was released . This is just sad that innocent people were rounded up for drinking in a bar and will now be interrogated before being released. Badoo gang are errand boys. Go after their sponsors. All this nonsense is to save face. Ikorodu also has a huge cultism problem but pokiticans use these cultists so the police look the other way. Imagine if Evans for example was suspected to be drinking in beerhugz then police storms there and arrests everybody then take them to the station for two days before interrogation. Senseless. The ikorodu oba should be held accountable for badoo.

The oba of ikorodu is docile. If this was in the old days, the people would have deposed him. Badoo gang are most likely errand boys. The oba should use traditional means to go after their sponsor. There was nothing like badoo under the previous oba of ikorodu unless this oba is involved and doesn't want to expose the sponsors and himself

The government should do two things. Replace the DPOs in ikorodu with policemen from outside the region . Secondly the government should mandate the ayangburen of ikorodu to produce the killers in one week or be deposed. These killings didn't happen under the last oba of ikorodu. The badoo gang are just errand boys for the high and mighty in ikorodu who use the gang for errands for ritual materials used in their cults. Unless the oba of ikorodu is involved,this issue can be resolved traditionally. Some of the senior police men in ikorodu probably know the sponsors of these badoo gang . If these were the old days ,the docile king of ikorodu would have been deposed by the people. Unless the king is involved,he knows what to do

The government should tell the ayangburen of ikorodu to ensure the killings are stopped or be deposed. If you live in ikorodu you would have heard the rumours about how some high and mighty in ikorodu are the ones employing boys in this badoo gang for ritual elements. Even some of the policemen in ikorodu know this people the badoo gang are working for. one of them has a popular food buka in ikorodu. Another one is a bar and petrol station owner. Another one is a baale. That's the rumours and there are many others. Unless the ayangburen of ikorodu is involved ,there's no way the sponsors of these gang won't be exposed in one week. All this badoo crap didn't happen when the late king of ikorodu was alive Another thing to do is to change all the dpos in ikorodu and replace them with new officers from outside the region.

It is well.

These guys are part of the problems we have in this country. Dangote may seem like a saint but it's far from it. Dangote is a ministry on his own and has had several billions of naira in import waivers since 1999 that has applied to him alone and not others in the Same industry . That's why you have a kind of monopoly in cement and salt and sugar today . Otedola is also not working in the interest of this nation. Mr donald duke may have good intentions but the white elephant called tinapa had or has no valid business case and I doubt if Donald duke can swear he didn't embezzle one kobo has governor. The other guys there are just fronts and are often used by politicians for contracts or lobbying or whatever necessary.

I have this come to the conclusion that the best we can have in Nigeria is being competent and corrupt. Tinubu ,fashola and ambode are all competent but very corrupt. They work and chop. The worse version is those that are incompetent and corrupt also ,Yahaya bello is the ambassador of that category. As it stands Nigeria is finished and beyond redemption. I work in the aviation sector and it's just pure madness that there are more active private jets than active domestic commercial air planes . Advice I can give you guys now is to relocate overseas or at worst save up to give birth to your children in the USA so they can acquire the citizenship there.

Word on the street in ikorodu is that this gang are working for some old notable men in ikorodu town and they use them to get materials for ritual purposes. Even a baale of a community has been accused alongside two major petrol station owners in ikorodu alongside one popular man that has a bubbling road side bar in ikorodu. All these are word on the street and it is said that some of the policemen in ikorodu know the patrons of these bado gang but can't arrest them cos the police has been paid of.

This union leader is not serious. He should state the year of the car i.e Toyota Hiace 1999 or 2001 or whatever and also state the cost and whether it has features such as AC and if it came with seats so that the people can then decide if its actually a good deal. Corruption eradication is not just by explanation. it is about transparency. If truly his hands are clean, it wont cost him anything to release the receipts of payment for this bus alongside this his so called statement. He is just trying to buy time with statement of his:

I am not corrupt and I will never be. I am not fraudulent in all my dealings and I will never be. As President, this is just a stepping stone, if we fail here, we have failed the country looking up to us to save her from the current set of corrupt leaders we have. I would have loved to state the amount the bus was bought here but for accountablity, I want anyone who is interested or anyone who is vast about buses to find out how much a *Grade 1 Tokunbo Toyota 14-seater Bus* is being sold anywhere and put the amount public ‎for all students to see, after then we will release the amount, the receipt and location of where the bus was gotten from
