Corruption was high under other Presidents. But it is more worrying under the Dictator General because now there is increasing Sharia-supremacist terrorism and even if brave Dr Mailafia hadn't told us, we are not idiots and can see the money must be from public funds, ie Niger Delta and Lagos taxes.

This is what Oodua People's Federation, Middle Belt Congress and Lower Niger Congress (SE and SS together) in their Alliance as Movement for New Nigeria (MNN) have been saying all along. All the needed information is on the Lower Niger Congress Facebook and websites. Links here: https://web.facebook.com/lowernigercongress https://www.lnc-usa.org/blog/lnc-mnn-notice-board/ Brethren of South and Middle Belt, daily Arewa brings death and backwardness upon us. They are changing the demographics of our ancestral lands by using state power for genocide and to pour in their people into our lands, hidden in trucks. They have brought Boko Haram, ISIS, Fulani herdsmen militia and now Al-Qaeda upon us. So why are we delaying in supporting the strategy of MNN? To whose benefit is our delay? Will our children thank us? Come on, go to the websites above and get involved! Then send Tweets and WhatsApps to raise awareness. |

We know USA and the West are at war with Al-Qaeda (the international war on terrorism) so with these people in our country we are at high risk Video here shows a large group of fighting aged men intercepted from a truck in Shagamu, Ogun State. Their presence is changing the DEMOGRAPHICS of our ancestral lands. One Nigeria allows free movement through our ancestral lands. We need to control our borders because One Nigeria is NO MORE the Nigeria of Independence and we must deport Arewa back to Arewa land. We cannot risk USA and West sending their troops to our lands in search of Al-Qaeda. ALL the terrorists in this One Nigeria are from one same part. The Sharia area.

Religion / Pentecostal Bishops Calls For End To Southern Kaduna Killings - Premium Times by meavox: 11:32am On Aug 15, 2020 |
PENTECOSTAL BISHOPS CALLS FOR END TO SOUTHERN KADUNA KILLINGS Premium Times August 11th, 2020 Pentecostal Bishops Forum of the 19 Northern States (PBFNS) in Nigeria has called for the immediate fortification of security arrangements in the entire Southern Kaduna communities. The Chairman of PBFNS, John Praise, who made the call at a news conference on August 11, 2020, in Abuja, said that the killings in Southern Kaduna must stop. “The situation had assumed a dangerous dimension of ethnic cleansing, going by the methodology and clinical decimation of the population of the indigenous people with mindless ruthlessness. At the last count, communities have been attacked by armed herdsmen, alleged to be of Fulani extraction while many have been killed and rendered homeless. “The audacity of the recent attacks and the inaction of the relevant security formations to bring the perpetrators to justice suggest a wicked collaboration, double standard, and sabotage in certain quarters. And this gives the impression that a sinister script is being acted out to overrun the people and forcefully annex their ancestral heritage in all ramifications,” he said.

Politics / The Deceit Of Amending The Null And Void 1999 Nigeria Constitution-Ndidi Uwechue by meavox: 6:14am On Aug 13, 2020 |
THE DECEIT OF AMENDING THE NULL AND VOID 1999 NIGERIA CONSTITUTION By Ndidi Uwechue African News Today 11th August 2020 For the sake of authenticity and thus validity, Nigeria’s Constitution must truly be made by the people, and not be imposed upon the people (unawares) as was the 1999 Constitution. In the past twenty-one years much has been written about the forgery that the 1999 Constitution is. Briefly, “We the people” did not prepare or agree any part of this Constitution as falsely claimed in its preamble. Furthermore, the current Nigeria is not a Federation as stated in the Constitution, instead it operates under a Unitary system. These are just two ways that make the 1999 Constitution a clear forgery. Since the 1999 Constitution is a forgery, it is not binding because it is NULL AND VOID. It therefore cannot be amended but as a forged instrument must be discarded, then new, properly made “We the people” Constitutions be legitimized by Referendum. APPEAL TO POLITICIANS – PAST AND PRESENT Just like managers are hired to manage a company for its owners, politicians are also “hired” via elections to manage Nigeria for the people, who are the true owners of Nigeria. Nigeria as an entity lacks credibility nationally and globally because the Constitution that upholds the Union of ethnic nationalities is a forgery. All the “constitutional amendments” are a farce because no amount of amendments can legitimise a document that is null and void. In a few weeks we will be marking the 60th anniversary of Independence so this is a good time to do the right thing and declare that the 1999 Constitution has been terminated so that we can fix this territory called Nigeria. APPEAL TO LAWYERS AND JUDGES More than anybody else, lawyers and judges know that the 1999 Constitution is a forgery, and know how this document has aided corruption and promoted national retardation. Nelson Mandela was a lawyer who used his knowledge of law to improve his country, not his pocket. His admirable example can still be followed. APPEAL TO CHRISTIAN LEADERS The lie about the 1999 Constitution is now completely exposed so it is expected that priests, reverends, pastors, bishops, archbishops and cardinals be committed champions of truth. Nigerians look up to religious leaders for guidance so this class are well-placed to play an honourable role in ensuring that the sham 1999 Constitution is discarded. Just like Archbishop Desmond Tutu immersed himself in removing the unjust and ungodly Apartheid system in South Africa. APPEAL TO CULTURAL AND TRADITIONAL LEADERS Monarchs, chiefs and cultural leaders have much influence over the people. With the 1999 Constitution also being an impediment to progress and development, sensitizing and guiding their people to rightly get it discarded should be a first concern. APPEAL TO NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS Many NGOs and CSOs are either directly or indirectly fighting corruption and injustice. It is therefore important that they focus their good work onto taking down the fraudulent 1999 Constitution and make this task a priority. Such organisations are in key positions to flag up to Nigerians and the international community that the imposition of a sham Constitution is against both human and civil rights of the people. APPEAL TO PARENTS The world of today is different from that of the past. This is now the information age where every individual has a responsibility to get himself informed. Information is placed on the internet so that citizens of the world can access it for themselves no matter where they are. Parents have the added responsibility of having to acquire knowledge and information for and on behalf of their children. Nigerian parents can see that the lives of their children in Nigeria is so very different from the lives of children in other parts of the world, so they should act as if they loved their children above all else and get involved in discarding the 1999 Constitution which is an imposed forgery. Nigeria has reached pariah status, and matches the definition of a “rogue state”. There is all manner of Sharia-supremacist terrorism, genocide, land grabbing, and open corruption, plus retardation in every sector. Young people including our much-needed medical professionals are fleeing abroad in their thousands. Nigeria has defied development for a full sixty years now. We have outgrown the simplistic and constantly-given explanation that this is due to “poor leadership” and “bad governance”. The real source of the problem of Nigeria is the imposed 1999 Constitution which is a forgery! It is both anti-development and pro-corruption. It has created a Nigeria that is NOT the Nigeria negotiated at Independence for there to ever be a Union of ethnic nationalities. That Nigeria ended in 1966 with the first military coup. The various “constitutional amendments” have been nothing but a grand mockery of Nigerian people, taking advantage of their ignorance of constitutional matters, and deepening the deceit carried out upon them. The 1999 Constitution is a huge (and merciless) fraud on the people of Nigeria. Lies, dishonesty and deceit have displaced the pre-Independence Nigeria and what we now have is a failure that approaches a rogue state. Now more than ever, an Alternative Culture of “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way” should be embarked upon. Let this deceit end. The 1999 Constitution is null and void, so unenforceable, and cannot be amended. If there are any honest people in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, you need to speak out! #BinIt9ja #BinItNG SOURCE: http://www.africannewstoday.com/politics/opinion-the-deceit-of-amending-the-null-and-void-1999-nigeria-constitution/ 2 Likes 3 Shares |
Politics / Video: Nigeria’s Constitution Is Military, Illegitimate – Professor Akin Oyebode by meavox: 6:24pm On Aug 12, 2020 |
Nigeria’s constitution is military, illegitimate – Professor Akin Oyebode Feb 11, 2020; Channels TV, Sunrise Daily A Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence, Akin Oyebode, has described the Nigerian constitution as military in nature and illegitimate. “Military decree that is masquerading as a Constitution is worse than useless, then of course we have to go about REPLACING IT…” Prof Akin Oyebode here explains that it is NOT for any National Assembly to do, but we need a Constituent Assembly either elected or selected by the people who will prepare modalities and a Draft Constitution. Two questions are asked: 1) Do we want to live together in a Union? 2) If so, how? The Draft Constitution is then given out for the people to decide by Referendum. Then a legitimate Constitution is obtained. Nigeria’s Constitution is military, illegitimate – Professor Oyebode 10½ minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6BpTwUCFss Oyebode made the comment Tuesday on Sunrise Daily during a discussion of the Nigerian Senate’s recent decision to review the constitution. He noted that the current constitution does not reflect the will of the Nigerian majority since it was cobbled together by a few people and imposed on the country. The renowned academic also pointed out that it was not in the Senate’s place to give Nigerians a new constitution. “We got it wrong,” he said. Oyebode went on to call for the composition of a constituent assembly that represents the totality of Nigerians. The new constitution, Oyebode noted, should elaborate on true federalism. What Oyebode actually said? “It is not for the National Assembly to give Nigerians a constitution. It is the constitution that will give birth to the National Assembly. The job of the National Assembly is to make workaday laws for the peace, order and good government of Nigeria. So it is the constituent assembly that will deliberate and fashion out a fundamental law for Nigeria. “If we agree that the military decree that is masquerading as a constitution is worse than useless; then of course we have to go about replacing it with a basic law of Nigeria. “We have to elaborate on true federalism. We need devolution of powers. We should not be running to Abuja for every little thing. “What we have been operating under the military constitution is a quasi-federal arrangement. So the constituent units don’t have the freedom to legislate on matters that affect their constituents. “It is not the national assembly that should give us a new constitution. We the people or our representatives formed into a constituent assembly should discuss the modalities of living together. “What we’ve been having, talking of the Decree 24 of 1979, is an illegitimate instrument. Where did we people gather to discuss and agree to live together? We never had that. It was a product of a military dictate. What you had was the Abdusalam constitution – I believe 29 Nigerians were constituted to draft the 1999 constitution. “Nigerians now have the right to enact to themselves the fundamental law that will regulate how they are living together. “If the infelicities of that constitution are well known, we would be wasting time recounting how unworkable a quasi-federal set up is for a country that has over 400 ethnic groups. And that’s why we’ve been in the jam that we find ourselves. “I think we have to get it right finally by setting up a Constituent Assembly that will produce a draft constitution which will be voted on by the generality of Nigerians.” (Source: https://www.channelstv.com/2020/02/11/nigerias-constitution-is-military-illegitimate-professor-oyebode/) |

Politics / Nigeria Needs Negotiations Among Ethnic Groups, Not Restructuring –akintoye, by meavox: 6:50pm On Aug 11, 2020 |
NIGERIA NEEDS NEGOTIATIONS AMONG ETHNIC GROUPS, NOT RESTRUCTURING –AKINTOYE Olufemi Olaniyi Punch August 9, 2020 The President of Yoruba World Congress, Prof Banji Akintoye, has said restructuring is no longer capable of solving the problem facing the Yoruba race in Nigeria as well as other oppressed ethnic nationalities. The professor of History said rather than agitating for restructuring, what Nigeria leaders needed to do now was a negotiation of how they wanted the country to be. He said this in an interview with our correspondent on Saturday. According to him, various ethnic groups need to come together and agree on their relationship with Nigeria. Akintoye said restructuring would not stop the invasion of various ethnic groups and massive destruction of lives and properties that had been going on for some years. He said, “I respect people who are asking for restructuring but I belong to the large number of Yoruba people who have come to the conclusion that restructuring is no longer capable of solving the problems of Nigerian people. “I was one of the people fighting for restructuring before now and I have written more than 50 articles on restructuring but in the light of what has been happening in Nigeria, especially since 2015, it is obvious to me that restructuring is no longer capable of solving the problems. “For instance, I ask people, “Are you saying mere restructuring will stop the invasion of our land by the Fulani? Are you saying the people who are threatening to conquer our land, exterminate us and bring their tribal men from countries in West Africa will stop by just restructuring? “Are you saying restructuring will be the solution to the people who are bringing foreign terrorist organisations to conquer every tribe in Nigeria? Those who are asking for restructuring are free to go on. “But restructuring is no longer the appropriate thing to be fighting for now if a particular ethnic group is bringing foreign terrorist organisations to kill you and take over your land. Why don’t you demand a negotiation – a thorough renegotiation of our relationship rather than talking of restructuring?” SOURCE: https://punchng.com/nigeria-needs-negotiations-among-ethnic-groups-not-restructuring-akintoye/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0Wn3VL16UvB-BdKIAZfY_JRnTyPpjqzDA4NK1jMtcWltMKphziYlqGgS8#Echobox=1596971477 1 Like |

Politics / Restructuring Preferred To Igbo Presidency Under The 1999 Constitution: Ohanaeze by meavox: 9:22am On Aug 11, 2020 |
IMMEDIATE RESTRUCTURING IS PREFERABLE TO OHANAEZE NDIIGBO THAN IGBO PRESIDENT UNDER THE 1999 CONSTITUTION – Nwodo Okenwa Nwosu Lower Niger Congress 11th August 2020 John Nnia Nwodo, a two-time minister in Nigeria’s central government and the incumbent President-General of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo, was a guest on Arise News where he answered a lot of questions on pressing political, socioeconomic and security problems facing Nigeria, particularly the Igbo ethnic nationality. As usual, he handled his interrogators with the ease that only knowledge, experience and self-confidence can impart. Many individuals and groups claim to speak on behalf of Ndiigbo. But it is only through Chief Nwodo’s voice that a rational and balanced viewpoint about the Igbo’s place in contemporary Nigeria can be reliably and consistently sourced. Having been intimately engaged in politics Nigeriana in the past 40 years, Nnia Nwodo’s knowledge on matters of national discourse is encyclopedic. He aptly handled the condescending attitude of a Northern ruling oligarch like Tanko Yakassai, who volunteered to lecture Ndiigbo on how to reach out to other Nigerian stakeholders as the only means to secure the presidency in the 2023 general elections cycle. Nwodo went on the limb to remind Yakassai and others that the Igbo are the most widely dispersed ethnic nationality in Nigeria. Ndiigbo take their economic activities to wherever they are domiciled. They’ve built a tomato factory in Sokoto, hotels in Abuja, a university in Ogun state and many commercial hubs of which the Alaba International Market, Lagos is one. The Igbo are being deliberately marginalized and excluded from the governance of Nigeria despite their immense contributions to national cohesion and socioeconomic development. When asked whether the Ohanaeze Ndiigbo would prefer the so-called Igbo presidency or Restructuring, his response was curt and unmistakable. He did not only ask for Restructuring but also to have it done NOW. He narrated the history of how the General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s regime, which he had served as a minister, secretly wrote and decreed the 1999 Constitution into existence without involving the Federal Executive Council (FEC) that was supposed to be the highest governing body at the time. The 1999 Constitution, which was promulgated by the ruling military junta in camera, was never released to the public until after the incoming Obasanjo had been sworn into office as president. As a trained lawyer, Chief Nwodo remarked that the 1999 Constitution is not autochthonous and thus lacks legitimacy and approval of the Nigerian constituents. He believes that the agitation for Biafra among Igbo youths is necessitated and engendered by well-orchestrated marginalization of Alaigbo developmentally as well as the deliberate exclusion of Ndiigbo from many aspects of national governance. He wonders why youth agitators in other parts of the country are glossed over or even often rewarded while undue negative attention is always focused on their Igbo counterparts. Answering a question on why Ndiigbo have not given equal attention to the development of their ancestral home base as they do elsewhere around Nigeria, the Ohanaeze PG used the opportunity to disclose the establishment of the Alaigbo Stabilization Fund (ASF) which is designed to radically transform the economic fortune of Igboland in remarkable ways.

Politics / Mercenary Accuses Nigeria Of Squandering Gains Against Boko Haram (2018) Uk News by meavox: 7:53am On Aug 11, 2020 |
Now that Al-Qaeda is in Nigeria plus all the other Sharia-supremacist terrorists, we need to ask who has allowed them into our ancestral lands. Being a land that welcomes terrorists is a "rogue state"! This impacts on the indigenous people of Nigeria as we are the real owners of this land. As a rogue state, the global community has a right to protect themselves from us. Read my posts, and Google what this means. ======================================================================= MERCENARY LEADER ACCUSES NIGERIA OF SQUANDERING GAINS AGAINST BOKO HARAM MADE WITH HIS HELP By Colin Freeman The Telegraph UK 26 NOVEMBER 2018 A South African mercenary who helped the Nigerian army recapture huge amounts of territory from Boko Haram insurgents has accused the country's government of squandering the gains it made with his help. Colonel Eeben Barlow, a veteran commander in the apartheid-era South African Defence Forces, led a team of mercenaries who secretly trained up an elite Nigerian strike force back in 2015. Hired by then President Goodluck Jonathan in the wake of the Chibok schoolgirl abduction, the mercenaries were credited with driving Boko Haram out of most of their strongholds in north-east Nigeria. But after just three months, their contract was cancelled by incoming President Muhammadu Buhari, a former general, who told The Telegraph at the time that the Nigerian army should be able to do the job alone. Col Barlow has now broken his silence to accuse Mr Buhari of needlessly prolonging the war by dispensing with the mercenaries' expertise. In a posting on Facebook, he said: "It is sad that the President preferred defeat above victory, as soldiers can only do what they are trained, equipped, and led to do. "Do it poorly, and they die." He added: "Many of the men we trained... have remained in contact with us, pleading for our return to Nigeria. They have also told us that they have been used to a point of exhaustion." While Col Barlow's comments could be seen as "sour grapes" at losing his contract, they echo wider concerns that Boko Haram is now regaining strength. Kidnappings and killings have continued on a large scale, despite Mr Buhari's claim last New Year to have crushed the group in their "last enclave" in Nigeria's Sambisa Forest. An Isis-alled Boko Haram faction has also mounted 17 attacks on army bases this year, with up to 100 soldiers reported in one assault in the remote desert town of Metele on November 18. Col Barlow added: "Raids on villages and the slaughter and kidnapping of the innocent and defenceless has continued—and in some instances intensified—under the reign of the President Buhari’s government." He said that back in 2015, his firm had warned the Nigerian government that unless the strike force was allowed to decisively "annihilate" Boko Haram, the group would spread into neighbouring Chad, Niger, and Cameroon, where it has since become well-established. "These intelligence warnings were all rejected in favour of a false belief. Neighbouring countries were advised not to listen to us as it was claimed to be a cheap attempt to ‘get a contract’," he added. Col Barlow was a founder of Executive Outcomes, a private military company made up of many ex-members of South Africa's security forces. One of the first modern "private armies", in 1995 it successfully helped the government of Sierra Leone defend itself against the rebels of the Revolutionary United Front, notorious for chopping off the arms of their enemies. His new company, known as Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection, is thought to have sent around 100 men to Nigeria.

The manipulators behind the page ride on the popularity and integrity of The Guardian Nigeria to perpetuate its agenda and as well post propaganda content against the Nigerian government. A recent post on the fake page headlined “Arrest Nnamdi Kanu And IPOB Now To avoid destruction In Nigeria – Tony Nnadi Tells Buhari Government” has since been reported to Facebook by The Guardian and action has been taken already. But unfortunately, the screenshots from the post are still being circulated by some people. The Guardian Nigeria will like to emphatically state that it does not have any affiliation with the fake page and the post was never at any point published on its platform. While the fake Facebook page is named Guardian Nigerian Newspaper, the authentic page is Guardian Nigeria with over 800,000 followers. All the Guardian Nigeria social media pages – Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram – have been verified and have the blue verification badges.

Politics / Three Lies About Nigeria From The Pit Of Hell by meavox: 12:25pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
THREE LIES ABOUT NIGERIA FROM THE PIT OF HELL Every day, everywhere, every time whether on TV, radio or any place we hear these 3 lies from Nigerians about Nigeria: 1) Nigeria is rich. 2) Nigeria is destined for greatness. 3) Despite all the "challenges", God will one day make it all go well. ARRANT NONSENSE! All these are lies from the pit of Hell. When the Sharia-supremacists agenda is that our ancestral lands should become an estate of their grandfather Usman Dan Fodio and that the Fulani will dip their Koran into the sea, nothing good can ever come out of Nigeria. Just as we see: since 1960 Independence just chaos and corruption and backwardness. This is how God will make it well for the indigenous ethnic nationalities: Dissolution is Nigeria's solution. This will end the Sharia-supremacists agenda of terrorism, genocide and land grab foisted on us. |

You see Nigerians, there is a list of Failed States, now called Fragile States instead of “Failed” for political correctness sake. So, in the world list of Failed/Fragile States Nigeria ranks as 14th! (Google it). Nigeria is high on the list of Failed states and is quickly turning into a ROGUE STATE because it is becoming the home of terrorists. Nigeria has: • Fulani herdsmen militia - In 2014 named the 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world by the Global Terrorism Index. • Boko Haram • ISIS/ISWAP • Al-Qaeda ALL these terrorists have ONE ideology in common – they are all SHARIA-SUPREMACISTS. ALL these terrorists have ONE agenda in common – they want their form of Sharia-Islam to be the only belief in all Nigeria and they are carrying out genocide and land grab to achieve it. Middle Belt is already facing it, then if not stopped the South too already being slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen, will face it more. There is a SOLUTION. We must be able to control the borders of our ancestral lands. Dissolution is Nigeria’s solution. We must separate from Arewa and form our own countries so that we control our borders and so control who can enter our lands. This is why countries have Visa so they can control their borders. Note: A rogue a nation/state is regarded as breaking international law and posing a threat to the security of other nations. A rogue nation/state meets certain criteria, such as being ruled by authoritarian or totalitarian governments that severely restrict human rights, sponsoring terrorism etc. By multiplying terrorists, this is becoming Nigeria’s destiny. So let us leave Nigeria to those turning it into a rogue state! Our children’s future in this world is at stake, and we must not hand them a worsening Hell. Dissolution is the only solution to get out of a failed state heading to become a rogue state. Please forward to all the people of the South and Middle Belt. |

ChisomGloria: Do go to my other posts as the pathway has been found. Simply, it is by TAKING DOWN the IMPOSED 1999 Constitution which is a FORGERY so NULL & VOID and not binding, so can't be amended. Once that happens Nigeria ceases to be. There are UN procedures that come into play and we get a Transitional Govt for 2 or 3 years while new Constitutions are prepared. Then, there is a Referendum to legitimize these new Constitutions. The most popular future is 4 countries: - Oduduwa - Middle Belt - Lower Niger (SE & SS, the name will change when the people of this Bloc vote in a new name) - Arewa There is an Alliance between these 3 : Oduduwa, Middle Belt, and Lower Niger to bring this about plus also afterwords so our properties and businesses in any of these Blocs remain intact. The method used is Constitutional Force Majeure. Go to my posts as I have websites and information there. Tell all your network too. Happy Sunday! 1 Like |
Politics / Warnings As Freedom From One Nigeria Comes Closer by meavox: 6:17am On Aug 09, 2020 |
Copied from a WhatsApp post. Do consider copying and forwarding via your own WhatsApp and other social media. ==================================================================== WARNINGS AS FREEDOM FROM ONE NIGERIA COMES CLOSER As the unravelling of the failed Union of One Nigeria continues, "willing tools" have as expected begun to shout out in pathetic stupidity that our slavery cannot end and that One Nigeria can never end. These "willing tools" are from every part of the South and Middle Belt. They are rewarded when they put obstacles in our way to freedom, and when they sow disunity, and try to demotivate those who plan and hope for freedom. Let us mark these sons of devils. NOTE THIS: 1) Restructuring will not work because Middle Belt and South must have BORDERS CONTROL in order to keep out Fulani/Arewa Sharia-supremacists. Never forget their agenda is for our ancestral lands to be an estate of Usman Dan Fodio and for Fulani to dip their Koran in the sea. Therefore Restructuring will not work as they will still be able to walk about into our lands if we remain one country. The only way to keep them out is if they need a Visa to enter our lands. That means we must have a separate country from Arewa. So that we control our borders! This is essential for our safety. 2) Restructuring will not work even if we are promised to have a Christian Vice-President. Even now the VP is supposedly a Christian but he is spearheading Fulani RUGA under the name of National Livestock Transformation Plan. 3) Restructuring will not work even if we are promised Presidency for the South. We already had OBJ and GEJ yet they were controlled by the Sharia-supremacista who openly say they are born to rule. My friends, Restructuring will never do. Southerners and Middle Belters must be able to control our borders from Fulani herdsmen, Fulani militia, Fulani Sharia-supremacists, Arewa Boko Haram, Arewa ISIS and now also Arewa Al-Qaeda. We must have: - Borders control - Resources control - Self determination - Our sovereignty regained - Peace Therefore Dissolution is Nigeria's solution. Nothing at all but this. The current Union of One Nigeria is not the one our forebears had negotiated before Independence. We need not deceive ourselves any more. We owe no allegiance to an imposed Union whose aim is to carry out genocide on us and grab our ancestral lands with their Sharia-supremacist ideology. Dissolution is Nigeria's solution. Please broadcast to the people of South and Middle Belt here and the Diaspora. 2 Likes |

Brethren of Middle Belt and South, WE SHALL BE FREE! We shall regain our Sovereignty. Don't mind the Sharia-supremacists Fulani. There must be international laws to make sure that the area that gets the loan money pays the loan money. Also, if these Sharia-supremacists don't stop the ethnic cleansing genocide of our brothers in Middle Belt, any gas/oil pipelines from the South to Arewa will be cut off from the South. So they better start acting like human beings and end the genocide. 2 Likes |
Politics / Opinion: What Do These Biafrans Really Want? - Pomonua (for South & Middle Belt) by meavox: 8:23am On Aug 07, 2020 |
OPINION: WHAT DO THESE BIAFRANS REALLY WANT? BY POMONUA African News Today July 21st, 2020 I asked this question because the noise from their agitation is really taking a nuisance pitch and dimension. Let us set the records straight, the British continues to have an interest in the affairs of Nigeria and its governance. The country is a major source of earnings for them. When they departed upon independence, they entrusted its affairs in the hands of those they could trust; those who will allow them unfettered access to those things that fueled their economy. That is how the Fulani came to be in power. Biafra knows that Britain is the unseen hand working behind the scene to frustrate its actualization, even though the face of the Fulani is what you see. If in doubt, watch this video of the confession by Harold Smith, one of the principal participant during that episode. Given an opportunity, we know more than 80% of Ibos will vote a ‘YES’ in a fairly conducted Biafran Referendum. That is why we have held back such opportunity. Our job is made easier by the discordant tunes within your groups. We see the internecine “wars” within your ‘factions’ – MASSOBB versus IPOB; IPOB versus LNC/MNN; OHANEZE versus IPOB. Please keep it going. Nnamdi Kanu and Tony Nnadi are individually set in their ways. We hear that despite the best efforts of your elders, even with the intervention of “Nzuko Umunna”, they still could not get them to agree. We wish that your rancorous “mumblings” does not abate, to enable us coast-on to 2023. By then, we should have successfully put in place the structures that solidifies the position of the North within the Nigerian State. We would have totally revamped all infrastructure in the north. That has been our primary focus since inception in 2015. By 2023, we should have amassed sufficient resources, readiness for a restructured Nigeria or a Post-Nigeria Arewa Nation. As of today, we have fully entrenched our foothold in all the key agencies of government. We have super-imposed our ‘men’ in large enough numbers in core-positions. It would take, literally ‘forever’ to undo what we have put in place. Our traditional ally, Oduduwa Nation has began to turn against us, no thanks to your propaganda machine. These were very pliant people, never used to question our authority. They accepted whatever we gave to them as their share of the cake. They were not people to foment trouble, knowing as it were, that we could really ruffle feathers. Through our controls at the centre and constitutional manoeuvre, we stymied their industrial development. We promulgated economic and fiscal policies to render comatose all manufacturing concerns within their territory. Over the years, we succeeded in stagnating their educational sector, while hoping we could bridge the gap between them and us. You have awaken their erstwhile ‘docile consciousness’. Worse still, you have emboldened them. Their visible trepidation of our ‘invincibility’ has suddenly evaporated. These people really used to look to us with awe and temerity! After their leadership witnessed the treatment we meted out to Aguiyi Ironsi, their most senior Officer in the military, Brigadier Ogundipe did not dare wait to mount the podium even when he should naturally replace Ironsi. That was how potent our message to them was. Even when General Murtala died and we called his then deputy, General Obasanjo to take over; he refused, fearing for his life. We assured him of his safety, (if he does as he was told). It is not enough that you want Biafra, you are also planning to set Oduduwa free, even when they did not indicate they wanted out of the union. Your overzealousness has created all these bunch of agitators yearning for an Oduduwa Republic: Citizen AY, Maiyegun General, Frank Bello and Heritage Multimedia Television. We even hear they are planning an Oduduwa Radio Station. Do you realize that once they succeed in launching an Oduduwa Radio, it becomes a formidable instrument of awakening the sensibility of the entire Yoruba Race? We nurtured an opaque enough system that they did not even notice the “discordant” coloration in our political appointments. They accepted all, with equanimity. They conceded that God’s time is the best and were mollified in the fact that they were, at least better served in key positioning than the Ibos. No thanks to your propagandist broadcasting, they have realized that they were actually cheated out of key appointments. They now reason and ask why, despite having the seaports in Lagos, the Comptroller General of Customs has always been Hausa/Fulani. They have started questioning why, in spite of the preponderance of their tribe in accounting, the Accountant General of the country is Hausa/Fulani. You have now allowed them to see that despite the high number of cerebral lawyers in their land, we appointment less qualified individuals from amongst our own as Chief Justice, plus Minister of Justice/Attorney General. They have now started to think they will do much better as a Sovereign Oduduwa Nation without the Fulani. We succeeded in keeping them down and quite all these 50+ years with threats of another civil war. Where that threat failed, we tell them we will open up Port Harcourt, Warri or Calabar ports to rival their acclaimed Lagos (Tin Can/Apapa) Ports. We did not even have to mention the risk of their losing the 2023 presidential slot! Now, you have finally made them realize that we were bluffing all the while. You have finally exposed to them that Yoruba and Middle Belt Officers actually fought the Biafran War for us, that we only took the credit for it. We had perfected the art of managing these people. Did you not see how we managed them during the MKO Abiola episode? We only need to identify the one among them that is a rallying point. We humiliate that one person to humble him. Usually, that sends a strong enough message of our “No nonsense’ to all of his followers and that is the end of their trouble. If their noise becomes ‘too loud’ we look around, take one of them to replace the one that has been humiliated. Think back at Awolowo & Akintola, MKO Abiola & Shonekan. It is for the same reason we were able to ridicule Gen Oladipo Diya and Chief Olu Falaye. As for General Olusegun Obasanjo, we reached a firm agreement with him, that he would protect and defend our interest before he was installed, in both 1976 and 1999. Yoruba has never been our problem. You, the Biafrans have always been our headache. It was for the same reason that Ebitu Ukiwe constituted a nuisance value to Ibrahim Babangida, which made IBB get rid of him. As for the Middle Belt, we only need to decimate a few of them and others will fall in line. What did it take for that stubborn Governor Ortom of Benue State to capitulate, after we ravaged so many of the villages within his domain? You ask yourself that question!! How about the Berom people in the Plateau? Still on the Middle Belt, how are you even going to convince an Ilorin man who always believed he is Fulani to go against the dictates of the Sokoto Caliphate? When we appointed Professor Ibrahim Gambari as a replacement Chief of Staff, we effectively cemented Kwara State to the North, in case you still fail to understand out clandestine political intrigues. It is no thanks to you that all the ethnic groups who, over the years, without scrutiny, assumed themselves to be northerners are now beginning to re-examine and question their “notherness”. The Nupes, Igalas, Afemai, Idoma, Tiv, Ebira, the Junkuns, Biroms, even Ilorin, whom Afonja, the Oyo War General helped us to conquer, have started to re-examine their affinity to the Yoruba race, all because of your nonsense “TWO-WRAPPER’ logic. Since you have chosen to awaken their psyche, and with the table turning against us, we can only now hope to manage them through their religious divide. The christian/muslim split within them is the one weapon of division that we may have to rely on and insha-allau, we hope our game therein is not laid bare. You see, the contemplation of any form of association, much less collaboration between Biafra and Oduduwa has been our worst nightmare. Such collaboration would not only be disastrous, it would actually be suicidal for Arewa Nation. It would amount to setting ourselves up for immediate catastrophic failure. It may even potentially, make us a laughing stock in the comity of West Africa Nations, if not beyond. It is for this reason that we continue to do anything and everything possible to thwart any “confluence of common interest” between Afenifere and Ohaneze or between IPOB and Yoruba World Congress (YWC). We would use every resources and machineries available to us at the Centre to frustrate such agreements. We are comforted however, because we know that there are no shortage of greedy and avaricious individuals within your ranks. It is not difficult to carefully identify and isolate such elements to use for our purpose. As you well know, for every Hope Uzodinma, there is an Ibikunle Amosun. For every Chris Ngige, there is a Bola Tinubu and for every Joe Igbokwe, there is an Aregbesola. There are no shortage of dishonorable men within each of your two Nations, those who are willing and ready to sell off their kinsmen for a “pot of porridge”. They all have their prices and remember; we have a very deep pockets. In truth, our plan was, and is still, to create enormous poverty in the entire South. Poverty of such scale as would frustrate and silence all voices of opposition and ultimately send them on self-imposed exile. That way, our move for total domination is unobstructed. Why else did you think we were signing all those loan agreements with absolute nothing on ground to show? Do you think we really cared about developments! Did you think we were borrowing to make the life of people in the South better? Some of you accuse us of emptying the National Treasury. Yes, we are actually taking out all we can take. We are systematically hedging against the future, in readiness of what may become the faith of what you call “the British Contraption called Nigeria”. Based on all the dramatizing going on with Biafra and Oduduwa agitators, it would be foolhardy not to anticipate that a Restructured Nigeria, infact, a totally disintegrated entity is not imminent. Consequently, we have ramped up efforts to put infrastructural facilities in Arewa Nation in good shape. It was for the same reason that, we urged the World Bank Representatives to focus all their development projects in the North. It is for the same reason that we are running the gas pipeline from the Niger Delta, through Ajaokuta, Kaduna and Kano. As you could see, we never denied giving that directive nor embarking on that project. It was for same reason we directed Sadiya Umar Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, to focus the Covid19 Palliative handout in the north. Never mind her denials; she had a clear mandate. Historically, what we would do in the face of such high tempo separatist movements would be to call “our boys” in the army to take over the rein of governance. By so doing, we ensure that power remains in the north since the army is essentially northern. With the way things are going and given the extensive and elaborate exit planning we ourselves have been making, there might not even be a reason to exercise that option. It is not for nothing that we are selling Crude and carefully warehousing the proceeds. It is not for nothing that we are making all these recoveries of stolen monies and in addition, obtaining all these loans!! And just so you know, we are deliberately and systematically crumbling your infrastructure that gives the South that sense of superiority over the North. We have effectively crippled your Stock Market. We have enacted and implemented policies that inhibit the performance of your industrial base and the Southern economy as a whole. We have the wherewithal to render you rudderless. Do not for once forget that we are in charge of everything, and I mean “EVERYTHING” – The Customs, Immigrations, Central Bank, Armed Forces, Ministry of Finance, The Senate, The House of Rep, All land, sea and Air border points, Sources of Money Supply (National Security Printing & Minting Corporations- NSPMC), National Security, All Para-Military… you name it; Our Men are in charge – We Hold The Four Aces. We only need a few Fiscal and Monetary Policies to crash you. Since we closed your borders in the South, what did you do about it? Probably grumble and that is all. Do you remember what happened to Diamond Bank? How about Oceanic and Intercontinental? You have a few more standing i.e. Zenith Bank, Fidelity Bank, Access Bank… we can send ‘Undertakers’ after these ones as well. Do not dare us! Moreover, do not count on Godwin Emefiele at the CBN, just because you assume he is Ibo. He is totally bought over and is on our side now. He himself knows not to derail. And your people in the Public Sector?; that would be a slam-dunk. Our men hold all the key positions and they have only one assignment: keep their eyes open to frustrate any Biafran interest. Let me see how you survive that. We know that you are ahead of us in all ramifications. That is why your mere mention of Biafra sends jitters down our spines. We see all your exploits. We noticed your inventions during the war of 1967. We have seen how you have been able to pull yourselves up by the bootstraps even when we only availed you 20-pounds after your war defeat. Thereafter and in barely 50 years, you created successful stories in the likes of Innoson Motors, Stella Okoli of Emzor, Ohuanbunwa’s Neimeth, Nduka Obaigbena in Thisday, Cosmas Maduka’s Coscharis etc. You have created industrial hubs in Aba, Nnewi, Abriba and Onitsha…all of which from the ashes of your defeat. In 1970, we thought you had been crushed, body, soul and spirit, leaving you in penury. Yet you emerged with all these Professors of Astro-physics, Aeronautics, Engineering, Social sciences, Mathematics and Medicine. From the ashes of defeat, you have produced world acclaimed writers like Chimamanda Adichie and renowned scientific brainpowers like Philip Emeagwali. In comparison, what do we have? How many Fulani professors of Mathematics, Engineering, Aeronautics and Medicine do you see around? We admit – we are comparatively, intellectual lightweights and do not possess your level of cerebral faculty. That is why we stick to schools in the North; schools that will afford us some latitude and accommodate our deficiencies. How would you imagine we could cope with all those your energetic and competitive students at OAU, UNILAG, UI, UNN and UNIBEN? You keep whining that we are allowed to enter Unity Schools with scores as low as 10 while requiring a child from Anambra, Imo, Ogun and Delta to score over 100! After implementing the “Federal Character” recommendation for decades, are we anywhere close to bridging the educational gap between the North and South? Imagine if that option was not available! Okay, maybe we have a Dangote, who we elevated through fiscal policies purposely crafted in his favor. Mind you, the constitution was written by Fulani for the benefit of Fulani and most importantly, to the detriment of Biafrans, Oduduwa and other minorities. We make no pretences nor apology for this. We have embedded within the Constitution provisions that allow us to give privileges to our people. Such loopholes have also enabled us to create a few millionaires trading in Forex. What Manufacturing or Industrial base do we have? How much Capital Market prowess do we have? Biafra and Oduduwa have their citizens all over the world, remitting huge chunks of cash inflows to their two regions. Do we have that? NO. What is a Fulani man or woman going to do in foreign lands where he would be matched-up against other skilled professionals from around the world, including China, India and Russia and then be judged based on their competence and productivity? How can a Fulani man stand up to such scrutiny of accountability and organisational value added? The one and only other thing that we had to hold on to; political leadership, you are asking us to relinquish. As earlier stated, we foresee a possibility of a Restructured Nigeria or perhaps, even a total geographical disintegration and formation of new alignments. It is no use pretending this tenuous string will not snap anytime soon. There are lots of bad bloods and pent-up anger on all sides. “Better a declared enemy than a doubtful ally”. In the very likely event, the breakup is inevitable, (as it is increasingly looking); it must be done on our own terms. It must be within a timeframe that affords us a smooth, non-turbulent landing. While we may not have a choice but to accept the tough reality that the impending divorce portends, it would be in the overall best interest of Biafrans and Oduduwas, in anticipation, to commence a gradual downsizing of their assets in the Arewa Land. Otherwise, our people are waiting in the wings to take possession. I do not think the United Nations Charter on the rights of a people for self-determination addresses the topic of recovery of “abandon properties”. Do not say you were not warned.

Politics / National Livestock Plan Is Ruga In Disguise Nigerians Warn (sep 2019) - Guardian by meavox: 9:46am On Aug 06, 2020 |
WITH THE INCREASED TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN NIGERIA, FULANI HERDSMEN BY THEIR TRESPASS, THEFT, RAPE, AND SLAUGHTER OF FARMERS SHOW THAT THEY ARE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THIS LAND. IT IS HIGHLY WORRYING TOO THAT FULANI HERDSMAN CAN BE A GOOD DISGUISE FOR TERRORISTS. “RUGA” UNDER ANY NAME MUST BE RESISTED AS IT IS A CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER THAT WILL BE PUT THERE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. =============================================================== NATIONAL LIVESTOCK PLAN IS RUGA IN DISGUISE, NIGERIANS WARN By Femi Ibirogba, Head, Agro-Economy Desk The Guardian Nigeria 16 September 2019 Excerpts from the article: • As FG inaugurates first phase Nigerians have knocked the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government for re-introducing the infamous RUGA scheme through the back door in the name of the National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP).This came as the government officially inaugurated the programme in Adamawa State. It will be recalled that Professor Yemi Osinbajo, representing the president, inaugurated the NLTP at the Gongoshi Grazing Reserve in Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Tuesday, September 11, 2019. The vice-president said the plan was designed to run from 2019-2028 as part of the government’s efforts in collaboration with states under the National Economic Council (NEC).The plan was to be implemented in seven pilot states of Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and Zamfara, Professor Osinbajo explained. Meanwhile, on August 16, stakeholders in Benue State, including the traditional institution, the church, socio-cultural organisations, the academia and civil society, rejected the NLTP during an interface with a delegation from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.The Tor Lobi, Chief Moses Anagende and Tor Kwande, Chief Ambrose Iyortyer, speaking for traditional rulers, said the best thing for the government was to rebuild homes, schools and churches that were destroyed by herders and make efforts to heal the highly traumatised and displaced people. The thrust of their argument was that the NLTP document only talks about cattle and no other category of livestock, saying it was a way to re-introduce RUGA using another name. A lecturer at the Benue State University, Professor Amstrong Adejo was also said to have argued that as captured, livestock was holistic but the conclusion was particular about cattle…. The livestock policy also says, “The overall responsibility for the co-ordination of the NLTP will be carried out at the Federal level by the NEC NLTP Steering Committee through the Programme Coordination Secretariat (PCS) to be domiciled in the Office of the Vice President,” accounting for the inauguration by Vice-President Osinbajo recently, where he declared that, “I wish to emphasise that this is not RUGA. Because the idea of RUGA settlements launched by the Ministry of Agriculture created a problem when it was perceived as a plan to seize lands to create settlements for herders.” But, from the components of the policy documents, it is very difficult to convince Nigerians that the livestock policy is not exclusively for herdsmen. It appears, from the spirit and letter of the document, a reformed RUGA agenda.Commenting, Dr Chijioke Uwasomba, a senior lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, said, “The impression being created is that perhaps, given the agitated responses of Nigerians, especially the Southeast, South-south, Southwest and the North Central, this may be a backhand way of implementing RUGA”…. ….Arguments against the RUGA scheme and its offshoots have been that public resources are being allocated to the development of private cattle breeding and rearing businesses as a reward for attacks on farmers and killing innocent rural dwellers by herdsmen, while the affected farmers and villages are left to wallow in sorrow (over the loss of their loved ones), hunger and poverty. The proponents of RUGA or cattle colony have always argued that the government does support other categories of farmers, but had not supported herdsmen for once. The herdsmen, however have been destroying farmers’ crops for years with impunity. Not only that, other categories of farmers have always been either given subsidised inputs or loans. They had never been given other people’s land, free building and social facilities by the Federal Government, as espoused in the NLTP and the RUGA scheme. Farm settlements of the old regional governments were built on community’s land though; the same community people were the beneficiaries of the settlements, not other people. The name National Livestock Transformation Plan suggests a broader and a more inclusive coverage, but its policy statement and implementation components actually point to one direction: a RUGA project in another form.
