Sshia:
If they fail to adhere to this order, don't fight them, don't talk to them if they encroach on your land. Now this is what to do:

1) Buy garmaline(the chemical used in embalming dead people locally), spread it on the path inwhich they move the cows. Wait for sometime and see the result. This chemical is extremely cheap and that of #200 will do wonders.

2) If you can't have access to garmaline, mixed local snuff with water, spread on the path inwhich they move the cows, go home and hear the wonders

OdumegwuOjukwu:
It is a good idea but unfortunately unenforceable.

If indeed this is the position of the South East governors, the least they can do is give it some legislative cover by passing it as law through our State House of Assemblies. As it is now, they can't even direct the Nigerian Police to enforce this. I'm not sure any Task Force has been set-up to monitor let alone enforce.

Unless there are other enforceable laws which governs that type of activity i.e. moving cattle on foot, other than that this is playing to the gallery.

mrstevenwa:
Obijackson should have done this

allcomage:
I am not partisan but I quite agreed with pdp on this.5 months after election, he is yet to appoint ministers. Buhari is so hollow, wicked and useless. He is only active on fulanis and cows issues. Cow president.

SouthEastFacts:
But yoruba moslems no gree nah. They said RUGA will create jobs.

According to Deomelo calculation, SW alone will generate about 2.1 Trillion from RUGA.

Christian Ooni said no to RUGA while moslem Alaafin of Oyo went live to give tacit support to RUGA and even blamed Ndi Igbo for trying to cause disaffection between yorubas and fulanis.

I have never seen a king so stoopid.

alBHAGDADI:

The King of Saudi probably wants some lap dance in the Holy Land. I just pray this doesn't result in some bloodshed somewhere far away, like in Northern Nigeria.

phamarsenal:
I had to watch d highlight BTW super eagles and Cameroon, where we defeated dem 4nil, wit virtually almost d same squad DAT we HV nw apart from some few changes here and dere...BT d most notable difference BTW d present squad and d other one is d absence of a certain victor moses, his trickery and pace on d wings and surprisingly his unselfishness was a thorn in d flesh of d indomitable lions. I don't wanna say we miss him, even though he would HV been a good addition to d squad BT I believe DAT we HV similar players DAT can do damage to d Cameroonians even though dey r quite young. He has to start either chukwueze or onyrkuru on Saturday because dey can stretch DAT defence and open up opportunities for others to score. BT if he decides to play safe like he always does, den am afraid we should jst start to book our flight tickets back home because dere is no way we would win if dat match goes to penalties, not with DAT Cameroon goalkeeper

LAGOS, Nigeria, Tuesday, Jan. 13—Biafra, with its last de fenses crumbling and its sup plies of food and ammunition exhausted, capitulated yester day to the Nigerian Govern ment.

Brig. Philip Effiong, the Bi afran Chief of Staff, who took over the leadership Saturday night when Gen. Odumegwu Ojukwu fled the besieged rem nant of the secessionist region, announced on the Biafran radio this afternoon that the attempt at secession had failed.

[Unconfirmed reports from Lusaka, Zambia, said Monday night that General Ojukwu was expected to arrive with in the next day. It was un derstood that Zambia had of fered him asylum. Page 15.]

Brigadier Effiong ordered Bi afran forces to disengage from battle in an orderly fashion and said that he was sending repre sentatives to Nigerian field commanders to negotiate an armistice.

Gowon Accepts Offer

Immediately after the broad cast Gen. Yakubu Gowon, head of the Nigerian Government, issued directives to troops in the field to provide full pro tection of surrendering Biafran forces and to shoot only if they encountered resistance.

He ordered that particular care be taken to insure the safety of civilians in the lib erated areas. To relieve some of the fears of soldiers and civil ians in the vanquished republic, he ordered civilian policemen to accompany troops.

At midnight, more than seven hours after the offer of sur render, General Gowan made broadcast to the nation stating that he accepted in “good faith” the surrender offer.

“We have arrived at one of the greatest moments in the history of our nation,” he said, “a great moment of victory for unity and national reconcilia tion.

“Our objective was to crush the rebellion, to maintain the territorial integrity of our na tion, to assert the ability of the black man to build a strong, progressive and prosperous modern nation.” he said.

News Spread Slowly

The news of the capitulation had taken a while to spread into the streets of Lagos. There was little obvious excitement. Not everyone has a radio good enough to receive the frail Biafran transmitter, but by last night the news was moving rapidly through Lagos.

A crowd gathered in Inde pendence Square, just passing the news to all who came by. The Daily Times published an extra edition with the huge headline “Rebels Surrender.”

The brutal, bewildering civil war in Nigeria had lasted just over 30 months. There may never be an accurate reckon ing, but it probably cost Nigeria more than a billion dollars and something like two million lives.

It has been estimated that at most there are four million peo ple left in what remains of Biaf ra. It had a population of 14 million when General Ojukwu, then a lieutenant colonel, raised the flag of independence on May 30, 1967. On July 7 that year it was plunged into this wasting war. Most of the two million dead were lost to starvation. At the very least, 1.5 million will need quick relief now from some measure of starvation.

The text of Biafra statement is printed on Page 14.

“I thank the civil population for their steadfastness and courage in the face of over whelming odds and privation,” Brigadier Effiong said in his broadcast. He spoke solemnly, but without faltering, in Eng lish. His six‐minute message was then rebroadcast by the Biafran radio in four other languages of the country.

Disillusionment Cited

“I am convinced now that a stop must be put to the bloodshed which is going on as a result of the war,” he con tinued. “I am also convinced that the suffering of our people must be brought to an immedi ate end. Our people are now disillusioned.”

He continued: “Those elements of the old government regime who have made negotiation and reconciliation impossible have voluntarily removed themselves from our midst.”

The reference was to Gen eral Ojukwu and some of the other leaders of the secession movement. It was still not known in Lagos where Gen eral Ojukwu, his closest follow ers and his family had gone.

SE, poorest region! Take it from me, I am Ibo.

facts1234:



We had players that could do this, but we left them because " they aren't doing well in their clubs". Yes, we had Musa Muhammed.

What have " those doing well in their clubs" achieved?

We struggled in an easy group and Madagascar walloped us?

Not a single Super Eagles player in the best 11 AFCON round one games? It would have been better to take only the best home based players to this tournament. The embarrassment would not have exceeded this. Also, we don't have to waste our scarce resources that would have been put to bettering the lots of more Nigerians.

Lastly, we need to lend our voices to the call of getting ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS for our team. We need to talk about it very often. Because of 'Mikel", people shut their brains to quality players? Who did this to us?

Oasis007:


Just bookmarked it.

Oasis007:
Super Eagles will tame the indomitable Lions and prey on them.

my predictions

TheSuperNerd:

You want Pep. Me I would go for Jurgen Klopp if I had my way. I will maks him the highest paid coach in Africa and tie him to a four year-contract for a start. But shaa... Klopp is out of our reach now. Lol


Who I can feasibly recommend now? I don't know really but maybe uhmmm.... The young German who isn't so typically stiff like Rohr. His name is Julian Nagelsmann of TSG hoffenheim. But he is on his way to RB Leipzig for the 2019/2020 season. He is young, Dynamic and knows how to get the best out of gifted youngsters.

ChrisKels:


No u re not, u rather are sticking out ur neck for Ighalo hoping he would clean up the mud he has pelted ur face with

With Ighalo and that amentia we call a coach, we aint got no business being in this AFCON.

U guys deluded urselves thinking Ighalo would suddenly turn a new leaf, in so doing, y'all swept under the carpet his well documented prodigalities in front of the post, it's dawn on y'all that after all, Chriskels was right to have said earlier that the bromance btwn una Iggy boy and Rohr was nothing buh a pig on lip sticks. I remember how the kids in here were weeping bitterly whenever I told them prior this tourney that Ighalo was a misfit, a certain psychopat even called me an idiot for saying that

People wont learn, they have started again by not calling a spade what it is, instead of criticising Rohr for his short comings, they are here once again, saying Rohr was a great man-manager but a poor coach, but, to me, he is neither a good manager nor a good coach. No Sane manager will criticise his player publicily, the way he did. We thought the one with KC was a one off, he is still treading that same path now with Chuks, Onyekuru and Osimhen. I believe u saw his response when quizzed on his decision to sideline the three youngsters.

Ighalo =useless
Rohr =useless

fabyom:
I am happy we lost at this stage.
This is the type of defeat that spurs team to success.
There is no cause for alarm, we lost to two fortuitous goals despite changing almost all our regular Midfielders.
We are winning this AFCON.

Not make sense for a party that call itself national party and continue criticize president on his appointments. Since Senate majority leader came from south then rep minority leader should be automatically zone to the north.

Yyeske:
All these white guys I see in Onitsha and all over Anambra these days, hmmm hope it's not what I'm thinking.
Is it because of the economic opportunities in the state or recolonization or what, somebody educate me.
