Lagos — Following palpable fear of crisis and alleged tension generated by unguarded statements by some politicians, over the coming general elections, an Igbo leader and royal father, Eze Fred Nwajagu, has called upon Ndigbo in diaspora to diversify their investments and move home wards.

Nwajagu, who is the current Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, spoke to our correspondent at the investiture of patrons by the Igbo Global Initiative (IGI), held in Lagos.

According to him, "Non-diversification of investments by Igbo sons and daughters resulted to the colossal loss of properties by Ndigbo shortly after the unfortunate civil war, whereby the then senator David Mark-led committee classed all properties left behind by Ndigbo who had escaped for safety to Igbo land, as abandoned properties.

The royal father, who is also the founder of IGI, regretted what he described the "hitting up of the polity by some unpatriotic do-or-die politicians".

He urged Ndigbo not to be intimidated in exercising their civic responsibility, but should vote according to their conscience.

While counselling Ndigbo in Lagos against embarking on mass exodus, to the East during the elections, Nwajagu also appealed to them not to carry all their eggs in one basket, but should invest in Igbo land to avoid regrets.

[i]"The Igbo are known to be developers of cities where ever they go, [/i]but great injustices and some ugly experiences in the past is a pointer that Ndigbo must remember their home land while investing outside.

The abandoned property saga should be a good lesson to all Igbo resident outside the Igbo land to diversify their investment, so that in event of any such situation, they will have something to fall back on.

Also, diversification of investment to the Igbo land will help in developing the our home, he advised.

Earliar, IGI secretary, Deacon Maxwell Iwuchukwu had, while commending the efforts of Mike Umeh Udemba, stated that the NGO was borne out of the need to fight injustices against Ndigbo world wide, as well as to support any government that is development oriented.

To those saying Okorocha will be next after Buhari, as long Ohanaeze is alive thats not going to happen.
Ohanaeze will ask him to step asids for Ibos to supporta Yoruba man.

aguiyi:
pls always set the records straight whenever the opportunity presents itself.

@ topic

chadian forces did not bomb boko haram locations, it is the multinational joint task force (MJTF)that did.

Nigerians should stop fanning the ego of this dimwits . Fighting in a foreign land is easier than fighting in your home as you will be careful not to harm your own innocent people.that sense of extreem care is always there. ask Nigerian military that has gone for several peace keeping missions and you will understand

This is the political message that needs to be broadcasted. Not "Chadians bombing territories.in my country, and we want to congratulate Jonathan for the achievement"

I find no joy in a foreign army boots on my soil...and to say they are in my airspace throwing bombs down on the land is abominable.

PDP and its pekple, from top to bottom are truly clueless.

Barcanista,
I thought you will have a broader perspective on the report of this bombing....Im dissapointed!

SkinnyDude:
if you not from Anambra, you shut up your mouth. we ndi Anambra dont like Buhari and APC. that's why Ngige lost the governorship election.

You are from where...

Onitsha in order to ensure that our candi­date bares his mind on how he intends to restore the manufac­turing capacity and the industri­al glory of the Southeast region of Nigeria.”

None ever existed!
How do you restore what you never had?

May his soul rest in peace.

Nigeria will soon deploy experts to teach the Yoruba language in Brazil, Aminu Nabegu, the Director monitoring evaluation and research in the Directorate of Technical Aid Corps, said on Friday.
Mr. Nabegu said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the countries were already discussing the modalities for the implementation of the programme.
He said once the agreement was reached the government would deploy the teachers and some cultural experts to Brazil.
“The Yoruba-speaking communities of Brazil, found in the Bahie region of Brazil, are the major targets for this programme.
“That is where we have large numbers of people believed to be the descendant of the Oduduwa,” he said.
Mr. Nabegu said a centre for the study of Yoruba culture and language had been opened in Brazil.
The Director also said a similar programme had been extended to Yoruba-speaking communities in Benin Republic.

Ibos are nothing but COWARDS!

Not too long ago they issued a life ban to FFK never to step foot in Iboland if he cherishes his life. They promised heaven and earth he will not come out alive. Well, not only did FFK go to Iboland....he rubbed poo in Ibo face join.

They are on to the same COWARD trail threatening to deal with Gowon if he goes to Ojukwu University.

Have these mofos forgotten their kith and kin are spread all over Plateau State? Do you think if anythying happens to Gowon the Plateau people will not respond?

In my psychoanalysis of the Ibos, which I have posted in NL numerous times, I maintain that these mofos act first and think later....they are animals guided by instincts, zero reasoning!

Always positioning the wagoncart in front of their horse and then wondering why the horse is not moving to get them to where they want to go.

Bloody pygymies...

Segeggs:
Does the below guy smiling handsomely look like someone who works at a bar or short to your Osu Ibo self?

Try harder, Osu Ibo

Mayor of Lagos has endorsed this message.

Poor councilor...

This is what happens when you circle yourself with Ibo as friends. I mean, look at how they ruined this guy's career. Same way they ruined Jonathan's administration.

Jimi Agbaje, take note...

Fani-Kayode’s visit to the Igbo heart­land and the speech he delivered at the last-gasp administrative head­quarters of the short-lived Republic of Biafra, Umuhia, on March 8 clearly had a three-point agenda: invoke painful memo­ries of the 1967 pogrom among Ndigbo, incite them against Muhammadu Buhari and the North, and cause them to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections.

The highly reckless speech of the media director of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) and the failure of the Presidency and PDP leadership to rein him in constitute further proof that the rul­ing party and its presidential candidate are ready and willing to do and say anything just to retain power.

This mindless determination, regardless of whether or not the stability of the nation and peaceful coexistence among the various tribes and enclaves are at great risk, is a real shame given that ruling parties in such less-endowed nations as Benin, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Sierra-Leone and Zambia have lost and re-won cyclical elections devoid of the devil-may-care nuances and hair-brained plots this supposed giant of Africa has been subjected to over the years.

But what baffles me is that PDP chief­tains of Igbo extraction and their guests re­portedly roared with laughter and clapped with reckless abandon as they listened to a kid lecture them on a history many of them authored with their own blood. Fani-Kay­ode’s theatrical performance at Umuahia is abominably akin to a teenager taking it upon himself to describe to the father the events that took place in the labour ward when exiting his mother’s womb!

The doting audience very regrettably permitted itself to fall victim of the Machi­avellian proposition that Fani-Kayode’s mandibular wakabout was strictly a vote-getting gimmick and therefore inconse­quential, as long as it enables their candi­date win the election. But, as they say in a particular area of the country, “na small shit dey spoil nyash”!

This was exactly how the Germans suc­cumbed to the twisted emotionalism of Ad­olf Hitler and his minister of propaganda, Josef Goebbels – the outcome was World World II and its attendant atrocities and tragedies of humongous proportions.

And come to think of it, how old was Fani-Kayode when the tragic events he was narrating took place? He surely was no more than a toddler just weaned from his diapers, without a care in this world besides simply having fun with his many toys in the ambience and opulence of the official man­sion his family occupied in Ibadan when the head held sway as the deputy premier of Western Region.

Have Ndigbo so easily forgotten that it was exactly this same kind of treacher­ous dissimulation committed against the leader of their Action Group Party, Obafe­mi Awolowo, by the likes of Femi’s father (Remi Fani-Kayode aka Fani Power) and Samuel Ladoke Akintola that snowballed into the poorly executed military coup of January 15, 1966, the ‘counter-coup’ of July 29, 1966 – in which millions of Ndigbo were brutally massacred in ALL parts of Nigeria – and the civil war that lasted between July 1967 and January 1970 – in which millions more died and properties worth billions of naira were declared ‘abandoned’ in a sec­tion of the nation?

They say lightning does not strike twice in the same place. But by failing to imbibe the hard lessons of our past history, it would seem some over-ambitious politicians of Igbo extraction are opening the door for the man-child to yet again set in motion a chain of processes that may needlessly set the na­tion ablaze; and there’s no prize for correct­ly guessing which tribe will suffer the most in any ensuing post-election violence, given that Ndigbo are the most widely dispersed.

Fani-Kayode even tried to sow a seed of discord among illustrious Igbo sons by pon­tificating, for example, that “Before Gover­nor Theodore Orji became governor of Abia State, the state had the notorious title of be­ing the nation’s kidnap capital. He came on the scene and within a short period of time he reversed the trend, put an end to kidnap­ping and transformed the state into one of the most peaceful and safe, crime-free states in the federation.”

But it was actually during the early part of Theodore Orji’s administration that Abia inadvertently became the “nation’s kidnap capital.” The incumbent governor must be commended for ultimately putting an end to the menace but it must be said that prior to that, the state had been very peaceful and safe under his predecessor, Orji Uzor Kalu, as Aba was home to the original Bakassi outfit that was exported to quell acts of brig­andage in other parts of the Southeast. But that’s the kind of distorted history a Fani- Kayode knows how best to concoct!

I hate writing about the antics of Fani- Kayode because I’ve come to realize that he revels in attracting public attention – the more grotesque the better! His political ca­reer is eloquent testimony that Nigerians at­tach too much importance to labels and not content. But if that’s what an expensive elit­ist education at Cambridge University is all about, who then needs it?

Lest we forget, it was this same individu­al who called our very own Professor Chin­ua Achebe all sorts of unprintable names for rejecting the national honour bestowed on him by his boss then, and who went on in the same breadth to subject Ndigbo to highly insulting remarks? Fani-Kayode was the same man who cryptically warned that Ndigbo should tread circumspectly in the Nigerian polity else their huge investments in the western part of the nation where he hails from would be decimated.

He is the same man who questioned the intelligence quotient (I.Q.) of Ndigbo back in the days of a needless raging debate about whether Achebe or Professor Wole Soyinka was ‘more qualified’ to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tufiakwa!

I’ll start believing Fani-Kayode when­ever he says he loves Ndigbo more than they love themselves the very day he asks the people of Odi (Bayelsa State) and Zaki Biam (Benue State) not to vote for Jona­than because it was a PDP government that killed many of their compatriots and sacked their towns.

Until then, Fani-Kayode is well advised to shut up on Ndigbo and focus instead on the Southwest geopolitical zone where he hails from. I’m very sure that once the Yor­uba hear and understand that this same Bu­hari committed crimes against the Yoruba that equally make him “an automatic can­didate for the International Criminal Court at the Hague for crimes against humanity and war crimes,” they would immediately dump him like a ton of bricks with automat­ic alacrity and queue behind Jonathan, Fani- Kayode’s “man of destiny, compassion and character.”

@the bolded, how can she, when she is a product of child marriage?

Here we go, "she is a product of child marriage"......the broadcast from village rumor mill is spreading.

I read the article. It is presumed on Aishat Buhari being a 35yr old woman. The way this woman looks, is that how 35yr old women look in village?

Anyway, feed on this...

Awka — About 5000 women of Igbo origin met in Awka, Anambra State capital, where emotion was let loose as they decried a plethora of harmful practices perpetrated against women in Igbo land.

The women at the end of what became a rally of sorts attended by Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, his wife, Ebele, and the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 9, Usman Gwary, was represented by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Finham Adeoye, sought the passage of a Violence Against Person Prohibition (VAPP) bill by the Senate. The bill had passed its first and second readings and referred to Senate Committee on Judiciary on Human Rights and Legal Matters for further legislative work.

The President of the women also known as Umuada Igbo (Igbo Daughters) Dr. Kate Ezeofor, said the group was planning advocacy visits, rallies and meetings to the communities, villages and towns to educate their members on their inheritance rights.

Ezeofor said grassroots mobilization for community sensitization made women to deliberate on family planning, reproductive health and rights and its legal implications.

In his remarks, Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, commended Umuada Igbo for the commitment in pursuit of their rights.

The IPAS Nigeria country Director, Dr. Nihinlola Mabogunje, was represented by Princess Nnenna Emele, the Lady incharge of IPAS- Nigeria in the South East.

Others who spoke on violent practices against women yesterday were former commissioner for education, Dr. Uju Okeke, who represented Anambra's First lady, Chief Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano.

The former commissioner for women's affairs in the state, Lady Henrietta Agbata, who is state coordinator, Umuada Igbo commended the women for the unity and IPAS-Nigeria for its commitment on women related issues.

Mayor on the metal...

Khalessi:
Bro, have you ever heard of toothpaste and brush?

from your reflection I can see you're wearing a taxi driver suit and a bicycle seat on your head.

you should be admiring women instead of poring and remarking on men's pictures. Right?

Ayoolajumoke:
Oh, really?
Maybe you're right

Hey sweetie, I sent you a contact request.

May his soul rest in peace.

Ayoolajumoke:
Oh, really?
Maybe you're right

....I am interested. You will hear from me sweetie.

First, given the precedence in the history, yes, it is prudent for them to demand a signed agreement and commitment they will not become a political victim in a repeat scenario.

Second, the generality of Yoruba, old and new vanguards of nationalism, have settled on the urgency of detaching our land and our future from dependency on the center. 

Third, Jonathan's regime is the first time in our history that Yorubas are relatively absent in the central executive power. Yet, we are, by all indices of wealth, success, growth, and security, the fore runner of the socio-political landscape....we are even ahead of the center!

So, what is there in the center that we want so much to lead us into jeopardising the warm and healthy cordiality we and the Hausas have had and sustained through centuries of trade, marriage, cultural bonding and political alliance? None!

Therefore, I see Yorubas equally demonstrating prudence and restraint in the event our next President, Muhammadu Buhari dies in office before the completion of the agreed terms, whatever they may be.

No need to go far to find answer on that....here it is!

SomebodyLovesMe:
Kidnappers should be given fast-tracked trials and summarly executed. I am not a fan of Madueke, but kidnapping is outright unacceptable.

...what is the difference between a kidnapper and Ijaw militant that is on federal payroll?

Why pay one and kill the other?
I say kill them all!!!

who are the kidnappers? This is big windfall!
I need their address.....im coming to rob them after they get paid.

Ayoolajumoke:
See me.

Jumoke, you are beautiful and there's a deep sensuality in your eyes.
Lovely!

Whynotthetruth:
Sometimes, it serves good for you to remain silent especially if there's nothing meaningful you have to contribute...

Can I come into your family and be the first son and lord it over you guys?...why force a strange leadership on a set you have nothing in common with?...

Is that your understanding of what my signature says?

While Min. For State 2 Foreign Affairs will handle all foreign Ambassadors and Councillors here in Nigeria.
We can only imagine what will happen when some portfolio and documents are revealed to Koro... invoking the FOI Law of our Land"

Who wrote this?
Another bloodline of "clueless". Diplomatic missions have immunity against the sort of discoveries you insinuated here. At the moment, Koro is unpopular in Nigeria or outside Nigeria after revelations of his deeds in Ekiti.

I doubt he will get a warm and open hands cordiality from the diplomatic circles.

Jonah had no place to stick him....remember, this appointment is not on merit, but rather a consolation award for his swindled loss to Agbaje in Lagos.

MarkJessy:
Minister of State, Foreign affairs? This is really serious.

He is there to negotiate an exit plan for those with dirty hands unsure of their fate after Buhari is sworn in. Many will end up in self imposed exile.
