Politics / Who Is Worth Celebrating Among These Governors ? by Magicians: 5:05am On Jan 25, 2020
Our brother from the East have been celebrating the government house by Ebonyi governor like it's the best project from governors in Nigeria but am moved to ask if this is all a governor not taking kickbacks in dollars can do how come a governor taking several kick back is able to execute beta n more meaningful project ?

I realized every problem afflicting Igbo land is attributed to Tinubu this is the reason I opened the thread for sound n not bigoted mind to comment so we can tell the foolish governor that looted the wealth n glory of their state with rubbish n pathetic project to show the citizen of such state always being the one making the loudest noise complaining about Governor like Ganduje Sanwo n Co that have proven to be trillion times beta than the failure they celebrate.

With the above observations I like to ask who should really be tongue lashed daily among the two corrupted governors and why does a section of the country praise failures like Ikpeazu Umahi Ugwuayi Ekeweremadu Abaribi while those performing beta n stealing less are cursed n insulted daily on NL.

Politics / Re: Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance by Magicians: 10:38pm On Jan 24, 2020
Only a foolish tribe will expect the enemy he is at war with to provide him food so he can continue fighting him. It is baffling one foolish n cursed tribe can expect to hold a 3rd world country accountable to such standard. Did your bigoted father not teach you the story of Idi Amin or the geno id's in Rwanda? Even the Britain n USA you look up to for moral n world standard are busy killing civilians in Afghanistan n Iraq on a daily basis, talk less of 3rd world Nigeria with every moral to exterminate a bigoted tribe filled with hatred bigotry n extreme foolishness.


Sanchez01:

I don't want to dwell on the weapon of starvation as warfare the Nigerian Government used on the then Eastern region. I honestly don't. I wish I could re-upload the Associated Press videos on my laptop and then share the links but last time I tried, they were removed from YouTube immediately on violation grounds.

Below are some things to take away from the clips:

1. Ojukwu's 'world press' conference prior the war saw him boasting that the Nigerian government would be surprised. He grinned and stroked his beard in the interview which had so many white pressmen around him. He claimed food had been saved to last his people for so long. This video is still on YouTube, on AP's channel.

2. Ojukwu's mercenaries from Sweden and Belgium trained and worked with the Biafran soldiers and left months after he had no money to pay them. This is also on AP's channel.

3. When the Nigerian Army blocked Port Harcourt, Ojukwu knew he had been dealt a major blow but went on and food ran out among the people. Whatever food was left got stashed in Ojukwu's mansion on his order. From there, he feed only his family and the family of his high-ranking soldiers. Taken down from AP's channel. I saw it at some point but couldn't find it again. Fortunately, it was part of the videos I downloaded on the war from AP's channel.

4. With no food and farms destroyed, the people resorted to feeding off corpses. It started with enemy soldiers until it became almost all corpses. There is a video of how this started on AP's channel.

5. Famine in the Eastern region took a different dimension when younger boys would go very far into war territories to look for corpses. As it became dangerous to proceed, the younger ones felt it more. The war could have been ended on account of the people but Ojukwu immediately asked the white press men attached to his mansion to do another world press conference and a documentary of the starving children. It would later be sent to Europe. The initial goal was to get the military and support from certain European countries. This should still be available on AP's channel.

6. The UN rallied and sent several aids through drop planes to the Eastern region and also missionaries who set up a refuge camp to look after the starving people. I'm sure we've all seen this one video.

7. Ojukwu wanted to use the UN drop planes to bring in more weapons which the UN didn't agree to. The UN claimed it only render aids and not take part in wars. An obviously frustrated and angry Ojukwu barred UN planes from bringing food and medical supplies as he perceived the UN as an enemy since they weren't willing to 'help his people'. To cover this, he sacked all white press men attached to his mansion as they started negative reporting against Ojukwu and the AP claimed 'he was more interested in his ego than his people'. This video should still be on YouTube. A further indictment by the FBI some years ago fingered Ojukwu and Gowon as the primary culprits responsible for the death of several.

8. Ojukwu's last blow was the advancement of his army to 'seize Lagos'. Unfortunately, he was dealt a heavy blow at Ore and that accounted as his major defeat and the decisive loss that led to his fleeing surrender.

9. Meanwhile, Azikiwe had just one goal; to capture Western Nigeria through his NCNC and become the most powerful politician in the South. It was what led to the Awolowo forming the Action Group, to not only checkmate Azikiwe in the West but end Ibo domination. Did Awolowo succeed? Hell yes!

Is your bigoted father able to see tomorrow to judge if an unwritten agreement will be kept or not or you are just writing out of delusion bigotry n foolishness as expect of every average biafrans ?! Make Tinubu nightmares no kill u the way it obliterated your father, grand father n unborn generation.

Dpharisee:
What will Tinubu do now, it seems the North is not ready to keep to the unwritten gentlemen agreement for power rotation with the South.
This is the reason it's difficult to trust a Fulani man with power and the reason behind their fight against Amotekun, they want to be in control of every aspect of our security and use it to dominate.
America is as strong as Somalia without its military and weapons under their control which can be deployed against those whom they think are against their interest, same way Python Dance can be used to crush any part of Nigeria that disagrees with them.

I wish to commend the SE for putting aside their demand for 2023 presidency to support Amotekun, the level of intermarriage between Yoruba and Igbo means that they should be concerned about each other's security for the sake of their children, Uncles, cousins etc across the divide.
That's why Igbo vs Yoruba fights end in the media and no fear of physical attack, but quarrel with the Fulani can see them deploying Boko Haram, Herdsmen, Bandits, repentant Boko Haram, kidnappers, beheaders, Nigeria Army, DSS, Police, under their control and command to attack and burn down any community like the did last week in Bayelsa under the cover of FG legality.

ChiSomtoChi:
See them playing victim cards here!
They will tell you how Igbos were prevalent in Tafawa Balewa's cabinet. But ask them how many cabinets Tawafa had, they won't answer.
Tafawa Balewa had 3 cabinets. All cabinets contained 3 Igbos, 3 Igbos, and one IGBO respectively. Greater percentage of the cabinets were filled with people from the western and northern region. Here is the link;

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_Abubakar_Tafawa_Balewa


They will tell you how Igbos planned a coup to overthrow the government due to greediness! Ask them about the "usual identity crisis amongst Igbos" they usually support. The two major Coup leaders were Ifeajuna ( an Onitsha born ) and Major Nzeogwu ( an Anioma born). The foolish uneducated Yorubas will lay a strong support for the motive that " Aniomas are not Igbos" and " Onitsha are BENINS" just to make sure Igbos are divided! But here we are seeing right in our eyes, laying claim that Ifeajuna and Major Nzeogwu are Igbos. I thought you supported the motive that Aniomas and Onitsha are not Igbos! Hypocrites!

There were 5 major coup leaders in that coup, 4 were from Igboland and 1 Yoruba. If we can go with Yorubas' postulation that Aniomas and Onitshans are not Igbos, then which means 3 out of 5 were not actually Igbos. Only 2 core Igbos present. So therefore, the coup was a Benin/ Yoruba dominated coup. Why can't you guys think about this and air it out?


They will say Igbos killed their leaders in the coup. But ask them of how Northerners started the ethnic cleansing by killing Igbos in thousands during the 1945 and 1953 massacre in the north? Here is an article of how Northerners were planning a genocide on Igbos in 1964;
Hate of the Igbos: Northern House Of Assembly Proceedings, February - March 1964
Below is an extract from the proceedings of the Northern Region House of Assembly between February and March 1964, less than four years after Nigeria’s independence from the British. I have nothing to add. Read and judge for yourself:
Mallam Muhammadu Mustapha Mande Gyan:
On the allocation of plots to Ibos or allocation of stalls, I would like to advise the Minister that these people know how to make money, and we do not know the way and manner of getting about this business. We do not want Ibos to be allocated with plots. I do not want them to be given plots…
Mallam Bashari Umaru:
I would like (you), as a Minister of Land and Survey, to revoke forthwith all Certificates of Occupancy from the hands of the Ibos resident in the Region… (Applause)
Mr. A. A. Agogede:
I’m very glad that we are in a Moslem country, and the government of Northern Nigeria allowed some few Christians in the region to enjoy themselves according to the belief of their religion, but building of hotels should be taken away from the Igbos, and even if we find some Christians who are interested in building hotels and do not have money to do so, the government should aid them, instead of allowing Ibos to continue with their hotels.
Dr. Iya Abubakar (Special Member, Lecturer, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria):
I am one of the strong believers in Nigerian unity, and I have hoped for our having a united Nigeria, but certainly if the present state of affairs continues, I hope the government will investigate first the desirability and secondly the possibility of extending Northernisation policy to the petty traders. (Applause)
Mallam Mukhtar Bello:
I would like to say something very important, that the Minister should take my appeal to the Federal Government about the Igbos in the post office. I wish the numbers of these Igbos be reduced…. There are too many of them in the North. They are like sardines and 1 think they are just too dangerous to the Region.
Mallam Ibrahim Musa:
Mr. Chairman, Sir. Well first and foremost, what I have to say before this Hon. House is that we should send a delegation to meet our Hon. Premier to move a motion in this very Budget Session that all the Ibos working in the Civil Service of Northern Nigeria, including the native authorities, whether they are contractors or not, should be repatriated at once…
Mallam Bashari Umaru:
There should be no contracts either from the government, native authorities, or private enterprises given to Ibo contractors (Government Bench: Good talk and shouts of “Fire the Southerners”). Again, Mr. Chairman, the foreign firms too should be given time limit to replace all Ibo in their firms by some other people.
The Premier (Alhaji the Hon. Sir Ahmadu Bello, K.B.E., Sardauna of Sokoto):
It is my most earnest desire that every post in the region, however small it is, be filled by a Northerner (Applause)
Alhaji Usman Liman:
What brought the Ibos into this region? They were here since the colonial days. Had it not been for the colonial rule, there would hardly have been any Ibo in this region. Now that there is no colonial rule, the Ibos should go back to their region. There should be no hesitation about the matter. Mr. Chairman, North is for Northerners, East for Easterners, West for Westerners, and the Federation is for us all. (Applause)
The Minister of Land and Survey (Alhaji the Hon. Ibrahim Musa Cashash, O.B.E.):
Mr. Chairman. Sir, I do not like to take up much of the time of this House in making explanations, but I would like to assure members that having heard their demands about Ibos holding land in Northern Nigeria, my ministry will do all it can to see that the demands of members are met. How to do this, when to do it, all these should not be disclosed. In due course, you will all see what will happen.

Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:

"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).

"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.

Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.
Anascopeterson: When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

Anascopeterson: The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.

Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.

So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement.

OP this is the truth that all Igbos are ashamed of, you can tell with how many of them are canceling the write without any thing to counter the claim in it. The biggest bigoted tribe in Nigeria n in the world I I na I at is the Igbo tribe n that is the reason Igboland remain a shit hole all Igbo can't wait to be evacuated from.

ipressplay:
One thing I admire most about the north is apart from humongous foot soldiers who blindly obey without subjecting instructions to any lucid thought process, they are extremely strategic in their planning and follow-through.

They also have a small team of highly intelligent strategists who they listen to.

Unfortunately for most of our leaders in the south, like "cerebral" as we say we are, they can be incredibly asinine in the decisions they make.

Rather than make long term strategic plans which will ultimately benefit their people, they prefer decisions that will provide instant gratification to massage selfish egos.

The Buhari federal government recently tried to forcefully, subtly take over ALL waterways clearly with a subterranean intent.

The resistance and blowback are just dying down and yet they've successfully infiltrated at least one southern state, one with one of the largest water bodies in the south and unarguably with the largest water body in the South West.

Tinubu/Sanwoolu just made Kabir Ahmed a native of Daura in Katsina state the wait for it; COMMISSIONER FOR LAGOS STATE WATERWAYS!

I don't have a problem with a non-indigene being made a Commissioner. In fact, I welcome it cos it integrates our diversity and the non-indigene could in fact bring a fresh perspective to bear on governance but for Tinubu/Sanwoolu to cede control of Lagos waterways to an agent of the same person intent on encircling and locking down the south through its waterways boggles my imagination and my very small intellect!

They could've given Mr. Ahmed any other portfolio but it had to be that particular one! I guess the carrot Tinubu got in return was too tempting to resist cos I know he's very intelligent but as is usual Asiwaju has no qualms about denying his heritage for a selfish recompense.

If the untoward happens despite all our outcries, posterity will judge Tinubu et al, who have consciously, without being coerced constituted themselves into Afonja replicas against their people's interest very harshly!

I concede one point to the north however reluctantly.
They are very strategic, focused and tenacious.I may not like the ends those traits are used to achieve, but I do admire those traits, very much.

People in this forum sometimes show that they are ignorant. Fulanis in those countries you mentioned are peaceful because they are not in power . They are not allowed near power because they are virulent. It is only in Nigeria they unleash mayhem because they are in power in Nigeria and yorubas unfortunately gave them power .

So it is wrong for Buhari to increase teacher's salary or what exactly is your wail about ?!
oldman112:
So the ones in private schools are instructors, poor country, poor government. When was the last time teachers were recruited and you are here paying old people that hardly enter classes. Nigerian government has killed many dreams, growing up I loved teaching, it made me went to College of Education and did my B.ed, but you only wake up with the passion, little or no motivation comes from the other side. Today I settle for business and many of my colleagues still don't believe it. The Nigerian Educational system is good but not favorable to75% of teachers. Good move anyway

This new Lagos state government has not meaningfully and strategic plan towards Lagos. All they is wake up one morning, look for a new way to make life unbearable for its citizens without creating an alternative to ease the suffering.

If you think you're currently experiencing the worst government in Nigeria, just wait till the next one comes in and you'll be amazed.
