Always talking about Messi. This is hero worship taken too far.

Buhari has always been a president of northern Nigeria. We are not surprised. No be him ask World bank to focus on the North that year? Ofcourse he denied it.

If he could be so 'north-centric' in the Change era, you don't expect anything less now that we've entered Next Level. We just have to roll with it.

The military, especially under this administration, has never been seen in good light.

vertueptime:
Jst from show us ur certificate, na him we de drag for years now, from one court to another, one blame to another, it is well

I tell u. He'd rather recruit SANs and lawyers to defend him in court than produce a piece of paper. Bring this paper make we see. No way. Why is it so elusive?

End of the road for that Lauretta and her corrosive mouth.

Instead of getting ready for Next Level, Soyinka is there lamenting.

Charly boy should lay low and finish the bribe money APC gave him first.

Typical of Nigeria, the action is coming late. The worthless BBNaija should've been banned (or at least restructured to eliminate the needless sex scenes) eons ago.

Sick, depraved terrorists.

MJBOLT:

they said she is too western to raise a child but if a court had done something similar in england,italy or spain,this religious bigots will start screaming "islamaphobia".

No mind dem.

Better stop complaining and brace up for Next Level.

"Consensual incestuous relationship". Look how stupid that sounds. Promoting evil all in the name of freedom.

Tloc:
Only for you to be conquered by HERDSMEN. Quite sad.

No way!

Can't see the fun in BBNaija. Quite a useless show.

This guy is always blowing his own trumpet.

So none of the soldiers saw him crawl out of the bus after it somersaulted?

Very creamy ride.

President General of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has
attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for refusing to implement the report of the community set up
by the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the purpose of restructuring the country.

The APC had set up a committee onrestructuring headed by the
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai and they came up with the report that was accepted by the national leadership of the party.

Nwodo said the President has not been faithful to his manifesto, adding that he (Buhari) is looking for his own personal interest.

Nwodo, speaking on Arise TV, said the military carefully structured the 1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria against Ndigbo.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo President-General noted that the constitution was based on extreme discrimination and jaundiced against the Igbo people.

“The military designed a
constitution at the end of the war to contain the Igbo.

“We have the smallest number of local governments of all the six geopolitical zones; smallest number of representatives in the National Assembly; the smallest number of local government councils, two states in the North West of Nigeria have as much local
governments as we have in the
South East,” he said.

“The president has not been
faithful to his manifesto. After he won the election, his party set up a committee on restructuring headed by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai and they made this report that which was accepted by the national leadership of his party,” he added.

“And when he faced interviewed by the press, he said that our problem was not structure but process.

“He swallowed his manifesto; he swallowed the decision of his national executive committee and he says we are looking for our personal interest. It’s rather the president that is looking for his own personal interest,”Nwodo stated.

The immediate past senator, who represented Kaduna Central in the Eighth National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has lampooned those suggesting the idea of the North holding on to power beyond 2023 after President Muhammadu Buhari’s term.

Sani, who said it would be ungrateful for the North to attempt retaining power in 2023, cautioned that southerners of Igbo extraction
could not continue to be punished for the offence they were not architect of.

The senator, who was reacting to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s recent call for abolition of power rotation, said it would be unfair for the North to hold grip of power in Nigeria and others being denied of such privilege after eight years of Buhari’s government.

Governor El-Rufai had last week
described the zoning of political
offices as a barrier to political
equality.

Sani, who spoke yesterday when he paid a Sallah homage to the first Executive Governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji AbdulKadir Balarabe Musa, said categorically that southerners, particularly the South-West, did everything possible to support the northern candidate to emerge as the president in 2015, hence the need to relinquish power.

Meanwhile, Balarabe Musa, who
later fielded questions from
journalists, cautioned the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) over the arrival of erstwhile INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to the party.

He said the party was deregistered under Jega’s leadership as INEC chairman.

Musa, who stated that INEC under Jega refused to recognise the party despite being reinstated by the court of law, however, said that it was a welcome development to
receive the former INEC boss into the party as every Nigerian has right to association.

According to him, “Jega was
Chairman of INEC and under his
chairmanship, PRP was deregistered and it was a struggle for us. We went to the court, the court reinstated us and we still had problem of exercising our fundamental right in spite of court decision.

“Now, the same person who
deregistered us is now coming
back to PRP. We can’t reject him but we have to exercise care and caution.”

AlexyA:
it seems Fani Kayode have forgotten the three R's implemented by Gowon. Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction. Is this not more than an apology? Gowon even went on to say no Victor no vanquish. How many times did Ojukwu apologized to the Igbo nation and everyone for embarking on a war uncalled for. Go and learn more about what preceded the counts coup on Ironsi. if Ironsi had did the needful then there won't be any FFK spewing thrash. Don't play victim card with ethnicity. if right is right let it be right, if wrong is wrong then say it is wrong.

As if the three R's were ever implemented in the East.

Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode has said the various prayer sessions being conducted by former Military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon remain a waste if he does not apologise to the Igbo over the genocide against the group during the Civil War.

Fani-Kayode, in a statement on
Monday said 300 Igbo army
officers, including an Igbo Head of State, were murdered on July 29th, 1966 by northern army officers, while 30,000 innocent and defenceless Igbo civilians (many historians say the figure is actually over 100,000) were slaughtered between September and December
1966 by savage and barbaric
northern mobs in three separate pogroms in the north before the outbreak of the Nigerian civil war.

“Finally 3 million innocent and
defencless Igbo civilians, including one million children, were targeted and butchered by the Nigerian Army and the northern “Gwodo-Gwodo” auxiliaries and militias during the Nigerian civil war between 1967 and 1970,” he said.

Fani-Kayode said if the Nigerian
people really wanted their fortunes to change for the better and that if they really wanted to be restored to the great and prosperous nation
and people that they once were, they needed to ask the Lord for forgiveness for what they did and what they were still doing to the Igbo nation.

“General Yakubu Gowon can
conduct all the prayer sessions that he wants for Nigeria but until he acknowledges the fact that the genocide that the Igbo people were subjected to under his watch between 1966 and 1970 was unacceptable and until he appeals to the Igbo nation to forgive Nigeria for what we did to them, things will get from bad to worse.

“Though it is unknown to most, our nation has been afflicted with a deep spiritual wound which was inflicted as a consequence of our barbaric actions over the years and
particularly before and during the civil war. This is a spiritual matter and sadly and regrettably we see its consequences unfolding in the
physical realm before our very
eyes every day.

“The shedding of innocent blood always results in divine retribution and it goes from generation to generation. Unless remorse is displayed, forgiveness sought and national repentance is established the cycle of divine retribution and judgement will continue unabated and affect the lives of millions.

“The civil war “Gwodo-Gwodo” militias, made up of savage, bloodthirsty, heartless, godless, dark and evil men from Chad, Niger Republic, Mali and parts of north-western Nigeria are the spiritual forefathers and the same dark
forces that have resurrected as
terrorist and killer herdsmen that are slaughtering our people ALL over the country today,” he added.

According to Fani-Kayode, “the whole thing has come back to torment and haunt us and only God can deliver us from their hand. The fastest way to make your nation the land of the accursed and rejected is by continuously
shedding innocent blood and
showing no remorse for it.

“We must recognise and accept this, we must endavour to stop the violence and killings, we must beg God and our victims for forgiveness and we must do the right thing. Anything short of that will not put us on the road to
redemption and restoration. May God open our eyes to see and accept these harsh realities and may He guide, help and lead us in all our endeavours.”

This so-called research is pure falsehood.

foolbuster:
Same soldier the army denied.

Its not an easy task to pinpoint who the greater liar is between the Nigerian army and lai muhammed. Both are seasoned liars.

See meanness. The guy no dey look anybody face. Maybe, he should have used a bucket. That cup is too small.

Mbaka better watch his mouth before he finds himself conducting his adoration from the DSS complex.

Why didn't he say anything about the arrested kidnap kingpin as he was dishing out his lies.

Idiotic soldiers. Na on top civilians then dey show force.

Baba Bubu indeed.

Good one.

Congratulations.

Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) has condemned the clampdown on demonstrators across the country, saying that the action was portraying the government in bad light.

The group also accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of turning Mr Omoyele Sowore and other members of the RevolutionNow group as heroes through their illegal detention and intimidation by security agencies.

Founder of IYM and Deputy General Secretary of Igbo Leaders of Thought (ILT), Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu – Uko, made this known on Tuesday in a statement in Enugu.

Uko said that it was surprising that the current leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), organized “Occupy Nigeria,” during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan about seven years ago without any harassment by the then government, wondering why the regime has now become intolerant of opposition.

The IYM leader, who is also the Secretary General of Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA) warned that it was unhealthy to arrest and detain Sowore and called for his immediate release.

The statement reads: “The arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore is bad news for the political health and image of Nigeria. The clampdown on the demonstrators makes it difficult for the government to continue pretending it respects the democratic rights of her citizens. The international community could not have forgotten the leaders of the Occupy Nigeria demonstration that shot down Lagos and Abuja, seven years ago.

“The world also noted, that President Goodluck Jonathan did not accuse the demonstrators of plotting to overthrow his Government.

“The world, therefore, wonders how and why the people who organized several high profile demonstrations against Jonathan’s government seven, six and five years ago, have suddenly become intolerant of opposition voices today,simply because they are now in government and therefore at the receiving end today.

“It is truly surprising, how government believes that clampdown and intimidation will ultimately resolve Nigeria’s governance, political, and structural issues that have only increased the number of disgruntled and disappointed populace in recent time.

‘This clampdown tactics deepened the secessionist agitations, popularised the Shite movement and created allies for them all over Nigeria today. This same clampdown tactics deployed once again, in a bid to avoid the necessary, unavoidable and inevitable conversation towards a new constitution and a new structure,will only turn the leaders and organizers of this demonstration,heroes and celebrities.

“Government should release Sowore and his colleagues and engage them without further delay. The tension in the land today demands truthfulness on the part of government and eminent leaders of Nigeria.

“Are there still intelligible reasons and excuses why the whole country should continue to pretend we can still drag on the way we are going today? Frightening broad day killings of priests and kidnapping of citizens simultaneously going on all over the country, demonstrators being
shot and manhandled in videos trending in social media, political, ethnic and religious divisions getting deeper by the day. Add these to the unemployment, hunger and frustration in the land, it becomes incomprehensible how any sensible leader could still continue to pretend that all is well.

“Nigeria is clearly at crossroads, eminent elders and leaders from the six geopolitical zones should as a matter of urgency, raise a committee of prominent, capable and patriotic leaders to begin the inevitable process to reinvent, reconcile,rejuvenate and recreate our country through the adoption at a referendum, a new people’s constitution, that would enshrine true federalism and devolution of power in our national life once again. “The game of trying to avoid the truth and pretending this military constitution will make Nigeria great by and by has become offensive.”
