Gas flaring that could be generated into industrial energy is wasting & polluting the atmosphere down south,but it is what our aboki's are doing up North we are more concerned with?Charity begins at home. Hypocrites.

Kagd10:
Lmao. You could only resort to insult once you knew you couldn't refute the claim?
You had better tell yourself the absolute truth and apologized to Nigeria for all the atrocities your ancestors embarked upon. If not, you will always meet your water loo, even as God isn't a sentimental nor emotional being but one who is all for the truth at all times. The karma that will beseige you is still being cooked.

Yeye dey smell.

Gotze1:
Because you are daft. Go and read Robert Says Goldstein letter to ojukwu. Robert was working with ojukwu before quitting. Read his letter and in it, you will see the reason he quit working for ojukwu.

i have been resisting talking about politics since after the presidential election and this is one of the reasons why.

I888:
hmmmmm

I888:
it is no fault of anyone if they are not ambitious enough to compete with their peers. God gave us equal hands, legs and brains. must we continue to feed these over grown babies? what are our leaders doing?

Bede2u:
man! Yorubas are evil. Just look at someone sat down and wrote bold faced lies and passes it off as truths simply to turn others against igbos.

Dont quote me again bro. We knw ppl like u and we dont join issues with people like u

Kagd10:
Refute what was stated in the post or shut up. Yeye

Carlyscales:
I think power generation is actually in d exclusive list just like natl Defence, police, aviation, customs, state creation etc.

Infact almost all critical components of development in Nigeria is in the exclusive list. It's all intended to besically to gather more power n control in d center so that no matter how any region or state pushes, other week regions will be carried along.
It's actually counterproductive now.
That's y many bouyant states are not really interested in providing there own power.
Because if u generate? U can't distribute it urself

Any, what do u expect when the Constitution was literally written by a northern controlled military.

Muhammadu Buhari is the Nelson Mandela of Modern Nigerian Democracy.

From a young boy who lost his father at four years old, and was raised by a poor widow, You can call him the hope of every African child, You can call him the Abraham Lincoln of Modern Nigeria Politics or Nelson Mandela of modern Nigerian democracy. But I will call him the Napolean Hill inside every African dreams of never giving up, that everytime you fail, never stays down, you can always fight back to life.

A man who fight back to life the serious medical problems that almost kill him in his first tenure where he spend months in hospital in London, even after figting an ilness that will have buried an ordinary man, rumours had it that one of the doctor in london in charge of his treatment call him a great fighter and not a quiter.

A man who spend 11years in shadow battling out the might of PDP for over a decade, before he actually fight back to light .You like him or not, He his a man who has re-define the Nigerian Politics as the first man to defeat an imcubent President in Nigerian History.

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état.

Muhammadu Buhari was born to a Fulani family on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief, and mother Zulaihat. He is the twenty-third child of his father. Buhari was raised by his mother, after his father died when he was about four years old.

The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government. He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.

This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.

If you have been on criticism press journalist side like me, you should pause and take a look from different angles like I am doing now so we can all focus on next four years of developing our dear country.

I believe in Nigeria, I believe in African that
with Buharism we can be on the right parts of development.

You may not be a Buharism like me but
Nigerians have choose him through their
vote. clearly showing we must work
together to move forwards together.

Bede2u:
bro..i wont lie to u...ojukwu made a mistake at the begining and it was hard to correct later in the war...

But let me ask u...do u think things would have turned out better for the east and west if ojukwu and awolowo teamed up in that fight?

Remember that no matter hw u hate the igbos....igbos didnt come together and decide to do a coup. Infact the igbos who were involved in that coul were mostly living in north and lagos at the time. And remember that wat started the war is wat is currently happening in middle belt whr hausa-fulani are killing people while the president is acting like the situation was out of his control.

Take a few minutes and imagine where we would all be nw if ojukwu and awolowo decided to declare south nigeria republic. I dont blame ojukwu for seceding...he was not zik who was for one nigeria...but i blame awolowo for not seceding as well. The reason is because had awolowo seceded...the north would not have won. They would just be another west african poor country struggling to enter into south nigeria

Kagd10:
Lmao.

It's either you're a political neophyte and you are just choosing to be dishonest. Was it not the Ibos who had formed alliance with the north to conspire agianst Awolowo? So what exactly are you saying?

Besides, Awolowo and Yoruba weren't scavenging in the North nor adamant to have want to drag the Northerners land with them unlike the Ibos, so what nonsense are you saying? Awolowo and the Yorubas had never overstepped their boundary. They respected the North and gave them their boundary. All what Awolowo had wanted was to govern the affairs of the Yoruba and nothing else but Azikiwe was envious of him and the Yorubas at large. Azikiwe and other Ibo leaders went ahead to conspire agianst Awolowo and landed him in prison. Even Akintola was even calling Awolowo for being a dunce because Awolowo would rather want to be alone than to allign with the North which Akintola wasn't o support of because he had seen how Yorubas had been sidelined while the Ibos who had alligned with the North were feeding fat and getting into many political posts and all. If your stupid ancestors hadn't alligned with the North, Awolowo wouldn't have been jailed. Same thing happened with Abiola whom Ibos rejected in favour of Tofa and Abacha. So shut your stupid trash.

I repeat it's very stupid to drag people's land with them. If they don't want you, then bring your ass back home. It's not by force. It's only when they also come into your region to attack you that you should scream blue murder. Yeye dey smell.

Gotze1:
Rhen why was ojukwu blocking food meant for civilians and give it to his soldiers.?

KGD10:
Simply call the eastern people living in the North to return home and continue their business and life in the eastern region and then wait for the perfect time to strike with the help of the Midwest and the Western but no, Ojukwu embarked on a war he knew he couldn't win and not only that, he invaded and attacked neutral regions such as the Midwest and the Western who weren't even part of his war. Rather than act diplomatic with the Midwest and western folks, just like the Israelites did with the the Edomites on their way to attack the Amorites, Ojukwu attacked them.

Ojukwu was just too senseless.

StOla:
Simple!

If Ojukwu had found reason to press on with a war due to Biafra's perceived non implementation of the Aburi accord by the federal government of Nigeria, then proceed knowing the consequences and be ready to surrender when it is obvious as it was already obvious from the beginning, that it was a war that can never be won by Biafra.

Rather, Ojukwu pressed on, hoping to win a propaganda war instead. Thinking, if the world see that we are suffering while fighting a war with Nigeria, the world will fight Nigeria on our behalf.

Is it not stupid that a negotiated surrender was passed up for an eventual unconditional surrender?

What then was the loss of lives for?

Instead you look for someone else from another tribe you know is peaceful, and begin to vent all the frustrations of your war time losses on him as though he gave you a false hope of help to win the war, or he commanded an army that could have come to your rescue, or drag his own tribe into a war because of you.

Even the help that Awolowo rendered with his position in the cabinet of Gowon to ensure that you feel accepted back into the country, what did he get from the Igbos in return if not their scorn and hatred?

If he had not cared like the rest of the war time cabinet of Gowon, who actually wanted the Igbos to suffer some more even after the war, then your hate would have been justified.

Rather, like cowards you aggressively hate the one you know you have no reason to fear, while whispering beneath your breath in the presence of those who have instilled fear in you.

successmatters:
People from his part of the world won't do anything about persecution, that's why they lost illorin and kogi. It's also very clear in the way tinubu is screwing them without any complain from all of them.

StOla:
Don't you ever get tired of being the tribe that has a score to settle with just about every other tribe in Nigeria?

In fact, you take decisions as a result of emotions that are traceable to decades in history, where you claim a tribe betrayed you, or hurt you or cheated you, or did not allow you rule them, or did not allow you dominate their civil service.

Only you must be served, only you is entitled to loyalty, and only you is right and just.

Only you term everyone else as cowards, yet history and recent shenanigans suggest that your cowardly streak is an inheritance passed on across generations.

What have you done for others? What selflessness have you rendered? What loyalty have you shown? What bravery have you exhibited?

Stop making noise and disturbing Nigerians when they are celebrating National heroes and patriots.

StOla:
Go and cry at Ojukwu's grave.

About 1 million Biafrans died from the war, but it suits your propaganda to claims as many millions as you can think of died. The same way Biafra thrived on propaganda, thinking it will win them a war that had already been lost the moment an economic blockade was successful executed by the Nigerian government.

Mourn your dead if you will, just as those on the federal side mourned theirs.

Awolowo did not lead you into war, Ojukwu did. Awolowo did not owe the Igbos the massacre of his own people on account of the Igbos desire to leave a union they made indissoluble.

Whose fault is it that you lacked the wisdom to accept defeat the moment it was inflicted and negotiate a dignified surrender, only to wallow in pains for many months before capitulating to an unconditional surrender?

God bless Awolowo for his kindness to the Igbos during and most especially after the war. He ensured they had the resources to thrive again.

StOla:
His people who revere him continue to celebrate his memory.

One of the many follies of the Igbo is to think they decide who is a hero and who is a villain in Nigeria.

History remembers the Igbos as the villains who never wanted to subject themselves to the same rules they subjected others to. History remembers you as the rebels who took up arms against the country, when they had themselves crushed the rebellion of the Niger Delta Republic a year earlier.

StOla:
You need a hug from those who know how to deal with you.

They kill you when they feel like, but you must always turn to them to feel some self worth.

You have learnt the hard way to give them their respect.

StOla:
I heard this is how Igbos manage to survive the PTSD from the suicidal war they bragged about.

I'm sure Awolowo in his kindness would not mind your lies, if it would make you sleep better. He was that kindhearted.

StOla:
Hahahaha!

This one is still suffering from the agony of self inflicted pains and tribal suicide.

It is only just that Ojukwu died as an invalid for the crimes he committed against his own tribe. Not to talk of the crime he committed against his own best friend, by ensuring he became the father of his best friend's grand children. What a shameless coward that should have been burnt alive for such taboo.

Even more just that Azikiwe lived to see the indivisible Nigeria he clamoured for, and the consequences he had stipulated as the penalty for trying to secede, being meted out to his own tribe.

I still blame Awolowo for trying to be magnanimous and humane to an ungrateful and overtly entitled lot.

immhotep:
Real sifia pains because of Igbo matter
