PoliticsWhy Donald Trump Maybe Right On His Comments About Africans by maximunimpact(op): 4:13pm On Nov 06, 2015
American businessman turned politician and the presidential standard bearer of the Republican, Donald Trump has once again unleashed his trade mark verbal outburst, this time his vituperations is directed towards the black race, Africans! During his campaign on October 25th in Indianapolis, Trump referred to Africans as “lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery”

In his words, “African Americans are very lazy. The best they can do is gallivanting around ghettoes, lamenting how they are discriminated. These are the people America doesn’t need. They are the enemies of progress. Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries. From the government to opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required. How do you trust even those who have ran away to hide here at the United States hiding behind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side. These are people who import everything including matchsticks. In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self-governance”

While these statements has elicited a lot of controversy and disdain towards the American business magnate, cynical minds has derided him as a racist and anti-black. But Donald Trump has made a career out of controversial statements over the years, his objectivity is beyond doubt, even in the face of risking millions of votes from African Americans, Trump did not totter in expressing his views about the bitter truth.

Before you join the bandwagon in condemning Trump, let us take a critical look as some of the points he made. In order to comprehend his comments I am going to list them out numerically for easy understanding:

1.Africans are lazy
2.Only good at love making
3.Africans complain a lot about discrimination and racism
4.They are not productive
5.They are corrupt

In my understanding from all intents and purpose these five points are what can be deduced from Trump’s statement. Now let us critically analyze these facts to know if this American made a valid point against the black race.

AFRICANS ARE LAZY: this is what a Chinese entrepreneur said about Africans couple of years back: Raymond grew up in China, found it too fiercely competitive, and came to Africa in search of easier opportunities. Now he owns a clothing factory, toils long hours and makes a steady profit – but only because he violates the law by paying below the minimum wage.

“Here the people work too slowly,” he complains. “Even if they could get more money, they would rather drink beer or something.”

Raymond is one of dozens of Chinese entrepreneurs who own clothing factories in Newcastle, an industrial town in an impoverished rural region of South Africa. With unemployment at nearly 60 per cent in the surrounding region, the factories have a steady supply of workers – but they’ve been condemned by unions for ignoring the wage laws.

As African countries increasingly become the target of a wave of Chinese investment, they face a dilemma: should they accept the money and the entrepreneurs in every case, even if the jobs are poorly paid and illegal? Are any jobs better than no jobs at all? How many concessions should be made in exchange for Chinese investment?

Across the continent, Chinese businesses have invested billions of dollars in African economies, creating hope for the future. But they’ve also clashed with workers in a number of countries. In the most notorious case, two Chinese mine managers in Zambia were charged with attempted murder after they allegedly opened fire on workers who were protesting against low wages and poor working conditions. Eleven workers were injured.

Raymond sees it as a culture clash between Chinese entrepreneurs he thinks are hard-working and South African workers he considers lazy. He routinely works a grueling schedule from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and sometimes all night when he has an urgent shipment to prepare. Many of the Chinese factory owners in Newcastle work such long hours that they sleep in a room at the back of their factory to save time.

The profits that Raymond reaps at his factory have a simple purpose: to pay for the education of his son, who is studying at a university in the United States and wants to be a doctor. When his son graduates and begins earning money, Raymond will finally retire.

“Chinese people think that tomorrow will be better,” he says. “If you don’t work hard, you won’t make money. But here in South Africa, the people think that tomorrow you could die, so you should live today. It’s a different way of thinking.”

Unfortunately this Chinese businessman is right on this one, it is a general consensus among elites and businessmen all around the world that Africans are lazy, they live only for the moment and does little or nothing about the future. An average African in western countries have this mentality of low self-esteem, always consumed with a self-destruct notion of “it’s all about now”. They don’t care about what happens in the future, this reason is why Africans are very lazy compared to other races.

With that said above, can you honestly consider Trump’s statement about Africans as racism? I do believe Africans have a lot to do to improve their mentality about “working for the now” and “working for the future”

AFRICANS ARE ONLY GOOD AT LOVEMAKING: A hilarious statement right? Maybe not! This was said in the most serious context, there is a presidential ambition on the line, moments like this can make or mare the chances of any presidential candidate of winning an election, not just any kind of election, we are talking about the United States of American Presidency! So this isn’t joke at all, Trump meant it when he said Africans are only good at lovemaking.

Now let us look at this issue critically. Are Africans truly about lovemaking? An average African will rather chose to read a topic that has to do with “how to make a woman scream hard” than reading a topic about “what great men did that changed the world”! It’s the bitter truth that when it comes to romance and finding the best possible ways to impress a woman in bed, Africans are Champions. We take lovemaking so serious around here that we can put anything on the line to lay a woman. It’s rather disturbing that the rest of the world has finally realized this about Africans, thanks to Donald Trump! Say what you like about him but this man nailed it on this one.

AFRICANS COMPLAIN A LOT ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM: Even in a developing country like India, Africans over there have had reasons to complain about discrimination and racism, but why? Read what a local Indian newspaper writes about this issue:

Africans staying in and around India’s commercial capital, Mumbai (Bombay), complain of indiscriminate racism and constant police harassment, reports the BBC’s Zubair Ahmed.

Nigerian Sambo Davis is married to an Indian woman and lives in Mumbai.

All his documents are valid, but he was arrested by the police recently on suspicion of being a drug dealer. He and 30 other black Africans were detained for hours before they were let off with an apology.

But the following day, Mr Davis said that he was shocked to read in local newspapers that they were “arrested for drug peddling”. “The police treat us Africans like dogs,” he says.

Mr Davis claims he often faces discrimination when he goes to restaurants or when he tries to rent an apartment in gated middle-class communities.

If Africans don’t have papers, then deport them, don’t put them in jail But he is nevertheless one of the lucky ones. He found a decent flat to rent, thanks to his Indian wife.

But his fellow countrymen, he says, still face discrimination: “When they go to rent flats in a normal building they are told – ‘you are a black man, you are Nigerian, and you are not wanted’. This is racism.”

There is no official data on how many Africans live in Mumbai, but since India’s economic progress gathered momentum in recent years, many have come to work in and around the city. Unofficial estimates put their numbers at more than 5,000.

Most of them are engaged in exporting garments to Nigeria and other African countries.

Many others are students, enrolled in the region’s prestigious educational institutions.

But there are also hundreds of Africans, mostly Nigerians, who live as illegal immigrants in India. They have either “lost” their passports or their visas have “expired”.

Every day, these people play hide-and-seek with the police – if they are caught, they are sent to jail.

Ikeorah Junior from Lagos runs a cafe for Africans in a crowded market on Mumbai’s Mohammed Ali Road. “I don’t understand why they [police] have to go from house to house to arrest the people who don’t have their papers. If they don’t have papers, then deport them, don’t put them in jail,” he says. (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-21826366)

But why should Africans be the ones always complaining about racism and discrimination? Trump said it all, it is because they are lazy! Since they cannot develop their mother land, any other continent becomes a place graced with greener pasture, after all this is the reason given by Africans abroad, “searching for greener pastures” Maybe our land are not green enough!

AFRICANS ARE NOT PRODUCTIVE: Trump nailed it when he said this: “I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side. These are people who import everything including matchsticks. In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self-governance”

Please take note of the bolded! Who can dispute that? We Africans rant a lot using a platform owned by the west to criticize them, yes Trump was right, we can be shut out if they so desire! What really does Africans own? We virtually depend on anything foreign that is why we import even the most bizarre and lowliest item: “matchsticks”! Can you beat that? Maybe Africans need to be recolonized a hundred years again for us to wake from slumber. I still believe in constructive criticism, if you must raise eyebrows on Trump’s statements, let us start from critically look at his points one by one as I have done here. Instead of condemning him, let us use this as a wakeup call towards productivity and high self-esteem.

Civilization actually started in Africa no doubt about that, but over the dispensations past, we Africans have sold our birthright away by depending on other continents to produce goods and services, while we just seatback and “import” just about anything.

AFRICANS ARE CORRUPT: In what could be seen as the most valid point raised on this topic, Trump made a strong argument, in his words: “Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries. From the government to opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required”.

When I first read his statement, I was almost in tears! Can anyone sincerely dispute these facts? On more than one occasion we have had foreign courts serving judgements on our corrupt leaders, think about this for a minute, here a great continent with all the natural resources, with human resources in excess, every day we hear of our leaders milking our economy dry and investing same in foreign lands!

Do we honestly think that these western countries do not know this? Thanks to Donald Trump who have revealed these facts in the most visible fashion putting his chances on the line on the altar of objectivity.

We may not entirely wave our hands in applause to this American for his boldness and determination towards the truth, but we can sure appreciate his decision to bring Africans to the sense of consciousness. There is an absolute need for a total overhaul of the system here, until we fight laziness, corruption and low self-esteem, we can as a people live up to our full potential in the committee of nations.

Let us therefore use this as a wakeup call towards creativity and productivity, inside us there is always something we can offer, instead of hosting your blog with a foreign hosting company, why not patronize our local companies? Instead of giving superiority to foreign business why not patronize our own? We can sure do better if we can be moderate about women and lovemaking, isn’t time to do something about corruption? If we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill us.

Maybe we should take Trump’s comments in good fate, remember in his words, “even the internet we use to rant belongs to them, they can shut us out anytime if they so desire, maybe their generosity may not allow them to shut us out, but we must prepare ourselves against that, we must make sure we do not let that happen, Africans have all it takes to beat the completion, yes we can do it!

BusinessWhat Level Of Service Does Your Bank Give To You? by maximunimpact(op): 9:48pm On Oct 20, 2015
We all know for a fact that most Nigerian banks offer the same product and are all guided by a uniform policy, thanks to CBN. Most of the charges on account maintenance has been unified, there is virtually no difference between one bank and another as far as policies and product features is concerned.

But why should i chose to put my money in Bank A? what is it that this bank does that everybody is talking about them? the answer lies here: “CUSTOMER SERVICE”! customer service is everything, the world is moving so fast, there is a client waiting to be payed, your child or spouse is stranded somewhere waiting for an alert, and you have been queuing up for about two hours waiting for your turn, and now it’s your turn after three hours of a long wait, and then the cashier waste another thirty minutes figuring out how to consummate your transaction. You keep standing and gazing at the officer but no word is given as a reason for the delay.

The above scenario happens all the time in Nigerian banks but there is a standard and a service level agreement that should be adhered to in order to give a great customer experience. In this article am going to identify three basic customer service level obtainable in the industry and each level of service determines the customer experience.

MEET NEEDS: This is the first service level in customer service, it is a situation were a customer is given a raw service only targeted at meeting the customers’ needs. What is the basic need of a bank customer? They are basically check balance, make deposit, withdrawal, make some basic enquirers etc. Although these needs may be meet, but there is nothing standard about it! It can be obtained anywhere. It is like a bus driver beating his chest that he took his passengers to their destinations even though he wasted hours on the road as a result of bad driving. This kind of service have no oil in it, it is at its best a dry service, although the customer gets what he/she wants, but there was no passion of a nice treat in the service, the bank only meet the customers’ needs or basic needs with this level of service.



IT WAS EASY: This kind of service occupies the second slot in the service food chain. It is slightly better than just “meet needs” to a more refined “easy” way of getting attended to. You may not not have to queue for hours, or made to wait unnecessarily to get what you want. Yes it was easy! but it all ends there. There is little or no relationship with the customer, even if the officer in charge did not smile at you it doesn’t matter, at least i got what i want “easily”. This could be the disposition of an average bank customer in getting an easy service, but then there are other cautious customers that will demand more than just “meeting their needs” or giving them “easy service” this brings us to the last service level.



SATISFACTORY SERVICE: This is the highest level of service any customer can get in any Nigerian bank. Or what more do you want as a customer after being satisfied? This kind of service comes with a great worm smile as the officer welcomes you with a well placed salutation. Not only did he/she welcome you, they politely ask you “how may i be of service?” As soon as you roll the ball out of your court by saying what you want, you can be rest assured that you will be all smiles as you get served as a “king” and leaving the banking hall satisfied and only anticipating getting all your friends and family to switch ship.

[size=15pt]Those saying they were disappointed never wanted PMB nor voted for him. So, we expect them to always be disappointed in whatever the president does. It's like expecting the Chief Wailer (Barcanista) or the Chief Abobaku (Chukwudi) to appreciate any action by the president. It will NEVER happen!

And anyone who actually wanted and voted for Buhari (change) must have sincerely had a reasonable expectation that those around him (Amaechi, Fashola, Lai Muhammed, Ogbonna Onu etc) would be made ministers. So, what is the disappointment in the list?

So, if you say you're disappointed, it's either you never voted for PMB or you didn't know what you were doing then. Which one? [/size]

PoliticsNEMA To Use Stringent Actions Against Sit-tight Inhabitants Of Flood-prone Areas by maximunimpact(op): 1:27pm On Sep 16, 2015
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), says it will soon use strong measures to compel inhabitants of surge inclined areas to migrate to more secure dwelling places.

Malam Abdulsalam Mohammed, NEMA Zonal Coordinator (North-Central), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Jos, that the Agency has no other option but to embrace that approach.

``We have tried enlightenment campaigns , and even begged people living in flood-prone areas to relocate, but while some have heeded, others are adamant and still there.

``NIMET has warned, and we have alerted everyone. We may have to go the extra mile and force out some of these people because danger appears imminent’’

Mohammed marveled why the residents were hesitant to relocate after several cautions and even after some of them suffered the consequences of such floods some years before.

``Sometimes, they tell you that their fore fathers lived on the buildings and insist that the ancestors were still there and will be angry if they relocate.

``Some people will also tell you that they purchased the lands and had no plans to leave their investments. Very funny excuses,'' he said.

Mohammed advised Nigerians to heed to the voice of reason and be pre-emptive so as to save themselves from impending cataclysms.

The Federal Government had earlier warned of massive flooding across the country with the impending gradual release of excess water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam and the heavy rains expected in coming months.

This, the government said posed serious threat to lives and property in Nigeria, adding that three types of flooding were being expected- river flooding, coastal flooding and flash flooding.

Some of the flood-prone states are Niger, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Anambra, Taraba, Nasarawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, Adamawa, Kogi and Benue.

PoliticsBREAKING: Bukola Saraki Nailed 13-count Corruption Charge By Code Conduct Bureau by maximunimpact(op): 4:53am On Sep 16, 2015
President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki has been banged a 13- count charge of corruption by The Code of Conduct Bureau.

In charge number ABT/01/15, dated September 11 and filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau, Mr. Saraki is indicted of offences ranging from pre-emptive declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara state.

According to the charges, as obtained by a national daily (PREMIUM TIMES) Wednesday morning, the Senate President is also accused of not to declaring some assets he acquired while in office as governor.

Among other offences, including purportedly acquiring assets above his legitimate earnings, Mr. Saraki is also accused of operating foreign accounts while being a public officer – governor and senator.

The offences, the charges held, violated sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.

Mr. Saraki is also said to have breached Section 2 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and punishable under paragraph 9 of the said Fifth Schedule of the Constitution.

The charges were arranged by M.S. Hassan, a deputy director in the office of the Attorney General of the Federation. It is unclear on Wednesday morning whether the document had been served on Mr. Saraki, Nigeria’s number three man.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, he and his aides could not be directly reached. But a source at the Code of Conduct Bureau said the Senate President might be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal this week.

BusinessFacebook To Add A "Dislike" Button, Do You Support It? by maximunimpact(op): 1:10am On Sep 16, 2015
Facebook is to add a "dislike" button to its social network, founder Mark Zuckerberg has said, as they has been considering the idea of a dislike button for some time.

In a Q+A session held at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, the 31-year-old said the button would be a way for people to express compassion.

He said Facebook is "very close" to having it ready for user testing.

A "dislike" button has been constantly demanded by some users since the introduction of the now-iconic "like" button in 2009.

"People have asked about the 'dislike' button for many years," Mr Zuckerberg told the audience on Tuesday.

"Perhaps hundreds of people have asked about this, and today is a special day because today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it, and are very close to shipping a test of it."

Nonetheless he went on to say he did not want it to be a tool with which people could "down vote" others' posts.

Instead, it will be for times when clicking "like" on "sad" posts felt offensive.

Prof Andrea Forte, an expert in social and participatory media at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said users will not abruptly turn on each other's posts.

In an email, she wrote: "They may use a dislike button to express some negative emotions (like frustration with ads popping up in their feeds) but I doubt it will cause them to start wantonly disliking pictures of their friends' babies, dogs, cats and cooking experiments.

"I suspect it will mainly be used to express mild disapproval, or to express solidarity when someone posts about a negative event like a death or a loss."

The impact of adding this feature to Facebook will be great, and it does make a lot of sense to have a dislike button created for sad stories like kidnapping, accidents scenes, insurgence, corruption cases. Rape reports, and other social vices were users often use a like button to indicate that the post has been noted.

Although here in Nigeria, it could still have a negative impact as good posts may suffer a turn-off especially when beefing friends gives a “thumbs down” to an amazing post.

Do you support a dislike button on Facebook?

GPA – GP Calculations For NOUN Students






After the result has been released, what is next?

Well, am pretty sure that everyone are having good time. While many of us are curious about calculating our GPA or GP. While the others are just anxious to know more about what their GPA looks like at the moment.

However, this information is even more useful to those who remember to check their scores and even documented their scores before leaving the examination hall.

Okay, now is the time on how you can easily commence calculate your examination score. I’m pretty sure that many people are familiar with this calculation, while others don’t know how to calculate theirs.

It is also important that you should note here, for those who are yet to know, that they can calculate their scores using the examples below.

noun Nigeria

Example;
Let me say, i did a course ECN101, and I scored 65 in the computer based exam. My calculations will go like this;

65 x 70 = 4,550.

Then, you should proceed and divide it by 120, and this goes like this:

4,550 ÷ 120 = 37.9.

That means your score over 70 in the examination, is 37.9/70.

Please, also take note, that for all students, who did the full complete 150 (One hundred and fifty) questions in a particular exam or more, you will have to divide by the number of questions. It is not always 120.

Lets also assume you score for 4 TMAs were as follows;

TMA1 = 9.5,
TMA2 = 8.00,
TMA3 = 9.00,
TMA4 = 7.5, respectively.

For you to successfully and rightfully calculate this, you’ll need to calculate the best 3 TMAs, which will be like this;

9.5 + 9.00 + 8.00 = 26.5.

This will give you, a total of 26.5, and your test score over 30. That means you scored 26.5/30.

While for you, to get your overall score over 100. You’ll be adding exam score + test score= 37.9 + 26.5= 64.4. So, my total score for the course ECN101 would = 64.4/100. Which is a ‘B’.

Before we venture into GPA calculations; Note that;

70-100= A.
60-69= B.
50-59= C.
45-49= D.
40-44= E.
39 downwards= F.

Now, let us assume, I did 11 courses and this was how my score went in the 11 courses after calculating scores, with their units in front of them. Let’s assume these were my courses, grades & units;

1) ECN101 – B. 2unit course
2) TFC116- B. 2unit course
3) ENT121 – C. 3unit course
4) BAT128- C. 2unit course
5) GMB142 – A. 2unit course
6) BRF136- A. 3unit course
7) KFC108- A. 2unit course
cool GEJ158 – D. 3unit course
9) OBJ114 – D. 2unit course
10) IBB131 – E. 2unit course
11) FFK104- F. 2unit course

Now, we have 11 courses, with their grades & units in front of them. Let’s understand the grades;

A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1, F=0.

Now, let’s start with the first course ECN101 for calculation.

I scored B in ECN101 above. Since B= 4.
I’ll multiply 4 by the unit of the course, which is a 2unit course.
So; 4 x 2unit= 8. So for ECN101 = 8.

Next is TFC116, I scored B as well. Since it is a 2unit course, I’ll calculate 4 x 2units= 8. So, TFC116 = 8.
Next is ENT121, it was a C. C = 3, which is a 3 unit course. So, calculation will be; 3 x 3units= 9. ENT121= 9.
Next is BAT128, I scored C, which is a 2unit course. The calculation will be; 3 x 2units= 6. BAT128= 6.
Next is GMB142, I scored A. A=5, which is a 2unit course. So; 5 x 2units= 10. GMB142= 10.
Next is BRF136, I scored A, which is a 3unit course. So; 5 x 3units= 15. BRF136= 15.
Next is KFC108, I scored A, which is 2unit course. So: 5 x 2units= 10. KFC108 = 10.
Next is GEJ158, which is a 3unit course, I scored D, D = 2. So; 2 x 3units= 6. GEJ158= 6.
Next is OBJ114, which is a 2units course, I scored D. So; 2 x 2units= 4. OBJ114= 4.
Next is IBB131, which is a 2units course, I scored E. E = 1. So; 1 x 2units= 2. IBB131= 2.
Next is FFK104, which is a 2unit course, I scored F. F = 0. So; 0 x 2units= 0. FFK104=0.

Now, having done all the 11 courses calculation, we will have to finalized it by adding all the course calculations together. So that will give us;

8 + 8 + 9 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 78.

Now, add the total units of all the course together;

2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 25.

So, divide the added course calculation by total units.

Which is; 78 ÷ 25 = 3.1.

So, there you have it, your GPA is 3.1. That is 2nd class lower.

Please, also take note that;

First Class: 4.50 and above.
Second Class Upper: 3.50-4.49.
Second Class Lower: 2.50-3.49.
Third Class: 1.50-2.49.

Alphaoscar:
Atleast none of them can be termed an ex-convict and Silva's issue is still based on allegations and until he is convicted of any crime his integrity is still intact. The other members issues you raised are just petty issues you raised just to discredit the team and if we are to go by your analogy, you are and I are not in anyway better than any of them. I don't know if you expect GMB to do all the tasks by himself in the name of integrity.
well said bro!

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari over the years has promised to appoint credible Nigerians into his cabinet. In fact, he is expected to come on board with fresh ideas and technocrats to help achieve his promises. However, a look at his Presidential Inauguration Committee gives one cause to question whether some of the members could really effect change that Buhari preaches. They are...

1. Timpre Sylva- Chairman Buhari Inauguration Committee

In February 2012, EFCC instituted lawsuit against Timpre Sylva for N5billion money laundering charge. Sylva fled Bayelsa state shortly after being sacked from Bayelsa state Government House by the Supreme

court. Corruption charges against him was filed in absentia.

saharareporters.com/2012/02/24/efcc-slams-money-laundering-charges-against-former-bayelsa-governor-timipre-sylva

May 2013: EFCC arrested and detained exGov Timpre Sylva for corruption charges that runs into N48billion. In fact, when the EFCC operatives swooped on Sylva's house,

his aides told them that Sylva was away, while he was inside. In the words of EFCC Source(as reported by Vanguard)

“Ironically, the ex-governor, who was said to be out of town, was later found hiding in a dingy corner in the upper chamber of his expansive mansion.

“He was immediately whisked away and is currently being interrogated at the Abuja headquarters of the anti- graft agency,”
.

Sylva had earlier been on the run in his bid to evade arrest.

5. Alhaji Babachir Lawal,Member Buhari Inauguration Committee

He is the National Vice Chairman (North East) of the APC. He shamelessly condemned the impeachment proceeding against exGov Murtala Nyako that bothers on corruption rather than address the allegation against the exGovernor. In fact he said impeaching Nyako will mean plunging the state into a state of utter despair instead of challenging the exGovernor to respond to the allegations of corruption against him. The Impeached exGovernor has been on the run since the day of his impeachment(to evade justice)

Ojukwu is a coward that turned his back on his so called people when he was needed most, the man never believed in the Biafrian cause, how can he explain his subsequent failed attempt to be the president of Nigeria, a country he staged a war with for three long years.

he cost about three million lives of the ibo nation, yet they unreasonably immortalised him as a symbole of igbo legend.

if this is all ibos gat, then they are a failed nation!

Biafra will never be a sovereign state as long as there is day and night!
