kITATITA:
My dear, Buhari is sincere. The honest truth is that those who worked for his election and put their lives on the line should feel the impact of the government they voted for. He also assured all regions of justice and there won't be any discrimination. I voted for him on the three previous occasions he lost. I expect leadership and someone who would demonstrate control and I see that. South East where you and I come from, show me what we can boast of after 16 years of supporting PDP. Show me what we got from 'our brother' Ebele Azikiwe. Let's not think with our hearts.

Why do people get easily sentimental?

Something that looks like a fraud was discovered, instead of finding out how these ills happened, and seek measures to stop them, we are busy letting our bias have the better of us.

Remember, the day anyone accepts a public office, he or she becomes a public citizen, and are held accountable and responsible for his or her actions and inactions.

If as a nation, we don't hold people we put in position of trust accountable, then we set the ball of impunity rolling, and of course, that has been the case with us as a people over the decades.

But all that has to change... Now.

Peter Obi should know that the state and her people reserves the right to ask anyone to come forward and give account of their stewardship if the need arises, and if their hands are clean, it further highlights their impeccable nature and integrity.

This is a practice all over the world, and Nigeria should not be an exception.

simpleseyi:
[s]Yes, It was an Igbo coup and they paid dearly for the coup. Because the coup failed, Igbos started the civil war and they were humiliated. They will continue to pay for the Jan 15, 1966 coup and the selfish civil war. Even their children's children will pay for the two atrocities.

owobokiri:
As far as I am concerned, Nzeogwus crime was that he didn't kill enough. Ditto Ifeajuna and co. Some of you hang a huge question mark on your intelligence when you defend ijiots that turned this countrys politics into a primordial contest between waring ethnicities. Nzeogwu didn't just wake up one morning and started killing people. From 1964 to 66, operation weties in the west, orchestrated by Sarduanas/Balewas NPCs deadly alliance with Akintola has sent awolowo to jail, decapitated AG, corrupted the army, brought back the british through the back door and ultimately led to the killing of thousands. . This was/is the fact the op won't mention. . The military officers killed by Nzeogwu and co were in bed with these political leaders whose diabolical politics was setting the young independent country on fire. Time was given for them to see reason and retrace their steps, they didnt.

The 1964 elections were so massively rigged by balewa, akintola and the sarduana that Zik as the president, refused to invite the so called winners to form the government for months. Infact, it is a great injustice to history that these days, we seem to willfully villify Nzeogwu and co for trying to arrest anarchy while making little or no mention of the fact that the country was imploding slowly as a result of balewas tribally driven blood gulping politics. What we see these days are peacefull pictures of balewa and sons resting in bauchi, nobody shows us the endless streets of ibadan ,strewn and littered with corpses.. . Nzeogwu as a great revolutionary should have maimed more. That way, counter revolutionaries like murtala, babangida, buhari and danjuma, who usurped power 6 months later and turned Nigeria into an eyesore would have been taken care of.

nduchucks:
Despite all you've written up there, I maintain that the pogroms which lead to the civil war would have never happened, if the January 15th coup had not taken place with the effect that of the six plotters, only one (Ademoyega) was not Igbo, and going through a list of their victims, there was only one Igbo man (Lt. Col. A. Unegbe) killed. And more importantly, the North lost the core of its political elite (Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello), and some of their best military officers.

The acceptance of these unfortunate facts is necessary for any meaningful healing to take place. If you continue to hang on to the belief that the pogroms were bound to take place because there were disagreements back in 1940s, then you sir need to stop burying your head in the sand.

You people need to let bygones be bygones, and join hands with the rest of Nigeria to build this great country and move it to the next level.

oduastates:
The first coup was followed by a second one ;a palace coup by Ironsi. it was as tribal as they come . The purpose for which was ethnic domination regardless of the one or two token members of other ethnic groups .
That tokenism was exhibited even under Jonathan where a SE dominated government essentially installed themselves in the post that matter, marginalised others bar one or two touts from other regions , totally messed up the country and are now trying to destabilise the government of Buhari with the sponsorship of radioactive Biafra .
Ironsi did not all of a sudden ,develop or conjure that unitary decree out of nowhere. This was obviously preplanned

Candybob:
The way to go is solar...
I would have preferred a decentralized system tho. Smaller mini grids spread across the country and individual private participation that the solar pv allows should have been explored, creates more opportunities and encourages local participation than all this centralized systems. In my opinion this project is prone to failure...
I hope i am wrong Nice initiative all the same.

Nigeria when are we going get serious about our energy need?

vanunu:
U must be lie muhammed's younger brother,
Why do u nigerians lie shamelessly. In Jos in 1945, hundreds of igbos were killed for no fault of their own, and the igbos did not accuse the whole of the north for organising the killings . Also in kano in 1953 and 1956, thousands of igbos were again killed.

Wsdm:
I am yet to come to terms on why the other part of the country will not allow these people to simply go away and form their 'Isreal' in Africa. Each time they have an opportunity the maim the North and destroy its essence- a study case is the proxy war on Boko haram where Ihejirika led the army to kill General Shuwa, destroyed the largest cattle market in Africa(Potiskum), destroyed the largest fishery market in Africa(Bama) and thousands of innocent civillians all in the name of fighting boko haram. I have started telling my Northern friends that if the present elite refuses to devide this country, we shall do that during our time. Buhari should just stablise the Northern economy and let us seperate. If the Northern elites did not seperate this country at the apropriate time;one day they will slip into power like GEJ and also look for an opportunity to destroy any development we have achieved. Every body in the North seems to be in total darkness about boko haram. So is not a rocket science that someone is truly behind it- and who could that be order than the people in power who have shown such desdain to the North. They have done that before, did it now and shall be happy to do it again. Just imagine the amount of destruction that happened to the North and all these people could do is to blame the North for salvating themselves by voting out the 'plague'. The seperation I shall scheme for as long as i live. Proudly Arewa.

wadetaw202:
If Igbo's were not selfish and self centered to kill sadauna of sokoto and other northerners to pave way for January 1966 coup, all these wouldn't have happened. The very selfish demonic plans of igbos in January sowed the seed for northern violence against Igbo's. Before the nzeogwi-ironsi coup, there was nothing like violence against Igbo's and Nigeria was also at peace. Nzeogwu and co's decision to stage a coup sowed the seed for tribalism and ethnical violence in Nigeria.

The visit was a high powered white house tourist tour.

Buhari is dumber than his cows.

LadyExcellency:
I thought someone posted the true story to clarify this propaganda

atbu1983:
Isaac boro in 1966 wanted an Ijaw Republic. Isaac boro hated ibos with passion because of d way he felt when he was in UNN during his campaign for SUG president which he won mainly with d votes from non ibos. Isaac boro felt the money generated in IJAW land was used to develop the current south east state in the defunt eastern region with enugu as capital.

Nigeria was a working federation then. Until a power hungry IBO man in d name of Agunyi Ironsi made Nigeria a Unitary State.

D igbo man Agunyi Ironsi fought d IJAW nation in 12 days and Jailed Isaac Boro for Treason.

It was a Northerner GOWON who gave ISAAC BORO freedom and he join d Federal army to fight BIafra.

I am from Edo state. We rejected Biafra because when we allowed them to pass through the Midwest as ally, they started behaving as if they conqured us. That was when the benin empire started killing Biafra soldiers.

Wale was a guest at the White House yesterday for a “beating the odds” summit which aims to encourage kids to sign up for college.

While most will applaud Wale serving as a positive role model for American youth, a lot of Americans chose to criticize Wale’s choice of dressing rather, which was a custom made Igbo attire popularly known as Etibo made by Zini Couture, who also makes attires for Olamide and the YBNL crew.

He was criticized for not looking ‘professional’ enough.

Unfortunately for the (probably bigoted) critics, Wale actually changed into that attire for his performance. While giving a talk during the lecture part of the summit, he was dressed conventionally in dress shirt and slacks.

Not like there was anything wrong in the Etibo anyway.

Wale’s response to the criticism was,

Presentable? I performed in a Nigerian native top & hard bottoms. @Zinicouture is presentable. Suit to perform? No.

Today, NASA announced that scientists have found an Earth-like planet, Kepler-452b about 1,400 light years away from us. This new Earth-twin exists at such a distance from a star Kepler 452, where water could exist. This discovery (and more) is a result of about analysis of four years’ data from the Kepler Space Telescope which has been looking for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars similar to our Sun.
This Earth-like planet, or what people are calling Earth 2.0, orbits its star in a habitable zone i.e. a region where water could exist in liquid state. During its four year work, Kepler Space Telescope found about 500 exoplanets, out of which 12 are of size comparable to the Earth. This Earth-like planet receives about 10 percent more light than Earth currently does and in another 1.5 billion years, Earth will receive the same amount of sunlight. This means, Kepler-452b is Earth’s older cousin.

Kepler-452b is the first one to be confirmed as a planets and its star possesses an interesting similarity to our Sun. It is just 12 percent brighter than our Sun and four percent heavier. This Earth-like planet Kepler-452b orbits at about same distance as Earth, taking about 385 days to complete one full revolution.

Let’s take a quick look at what we know about the Earth 2.0 so far:

It is about 60% larger than Earth 1.0 and the closest exoplanet so far.
It is at a distance of 1,400 light years from Earth.
It is rocky, thus confirming a sold surface.
It orbits its very own star named Kepler 452 at a distance near-about same as Earth’s orbital distance.
It completes one revolution is every 385 days.
Earth 2.0’s star is about 6 billion years old i.e. about 1.5 billion years older than our Sun.

During the long-awaited announcement, NASA said that it right now they don’t know if there’s life on Kepler-452b. The Kepler data analysis head said:
“It’s simply awe-inspiring to consider that this planet has spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is long than the age of the Earth. That’s considerable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on the surface … should all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life on this planet [exist].”

Stay tuned with fossBytes we’ll keep you updated with the news of Earth 2.0.

HungerBAD:
Rapists are a funny breed.

They get their kicks from hearing women beg and cry. These guys are sick, and unfortunately in Nigeria, they usually settle outside the court and are never jailed. In the United States for instance, after you serve your jail time,your name is put into the National Data of Sex Offenders,and you will NEVER find a Job again.

You will never be able to rent a House/Apt, you will need to register as a sex offender anywhere you go to. In short you are finished.

One day Nigeria will get there, and these rapists will start receiving their punishments.

They want you to think buhari is the best thing to happen to nigeria since slice bread and we were widely disrespected until his buhariness came and saved the day!!

President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that he is ready to negotiate with the Boko Haram insurgents if that will lead to the return of the Chibok girls captured by the group.



Speaking on Tuesday night on the Cable News Network (CNN), the president, who is currently on a trip to the United States, said he was very concerned about the plight of the Chibok girls and would do anything, including negotiating with the Islamic sect, to get the girls back.

"In Southern Nigeria, militants are blowing up pipelines, kidnapping people and asking for huge ransoms, In Northern Nigeria Bokoharam is still active"PMB

In summary, everybody outside Nigeria is going to believe the whole Nigeria is on fire, and everybody is dead!!


Oh, and did anybody notice how he managed to emphasise the militants issue, while downplaying the boko rampage??

Ermm....which Chibok girls are you negotiating over? The ones that are being rescued, pregnant and not?? Abi the girls still remain??
