| Politics › Re: Igbo Ekunie Initiative: Another Pro-Biafra Agitation Group Emerges In Nigeria by Melkizedeck: 10:31am On Jan 04, 2018 |
exlinklodge:
Reports that a newly formed Igbo socio-political group, the Igbo Ekunie Initiative, has emerged. They have advised President Muhammadu Buhari to engage self determination groups in Nigeria in a fruitful dialogue that would ultimately address their grievances and permanently end agitations in the country.
The group, which had existed for about two years in the Diaspora, apparently came out in the open to fill the gap created by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
President of the group, Mazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, who spoke with reporters in Awka, however observed that violence and marching on the streets would not achieve any objective, insisting that dialogue remained the best approach.
In his words;
We, the Igbo Ekunie Initiative, submit that time has come for a fundamental restructuring of the Nigerian state to a structure and system that provides optimal governance that meets the needs of the populace and allows each region develop at their pace.
“We note that the fundamentals of restructuring suffer no conflict as all proponents virtually agree that more control/autonomy in all facets should be given to the states and regions as the case may be.”
“Government systems should also be modified and streamlined for more effective governance such that there should be rotation of power for purposes of nation building. “Efforts should also be made to eliminate corruption and security enhanced so that development and welfare of the citizenry should be the clear and unambiguous goal of government at all levels.”
He described as an irony the federal government’s proscription of IPOB, while, according to him, the same government was treating the killer Fulani herdsmen with kids glove, despite the pains they were inflicting on the people.
He said further: “2019 general election is around the corner and it is time for government to take decision. Herdsmen cannot be killing our people and somebody would be looking the other way, but had to proscribe IPOB that is innocuous. It is unacceptable.
“We call for immediate withdrawal of all charges against IPOB members and the unconditional release of all their detained members. “In a democratic and heterogeneous state, dialogue should be championed above repression as that is the only way to achieve lasting peace.
“It is unfortunate that President Buhari’s government is returning Nigeria to full blown marginalization and vexed politics of exclusion. Ezeoke said it was obvious that the status quo was unsustainable; adding that attempting to retain it was at best, suicidal.

ApostleT:
It is a scam! The reasons are these:
1. That indicates bulk mail. When you are offered a job your employer will address you personally e.g. Dear Sango,
2. - This is funny but ridiculous. There is a suggestion that the US has an embassy in the US. The use of the word "the" indicates a specific diplomat however no name was mentioned.
3. - This is a Nigerian English. Where is here? If you have an idea how different nationalities write. This line is clearly written by a Nigerian.
4.There is an indication that your nephew got his visa without applying for one. That borders around insanity. Employers can sponsor your visa application they cannot post your visa. Did your nephew apply for US visa, work permit and employer authorization card? I guess the answer is NO and if he did he would have applied for visa at the US embassy in Nigeria not the US embassy in the US (a ridiculous concept to begin with)
5.
The mysterious diplomat has now taken up the postman position  . The emphasis is on the cargo delivery which is written in capital letter. This should activate an alarm bell in your head. This is scam. Requesting a payment from an employee to complete employment contract is a confirmation of the fraud. I am sure this so called company paid more than $250 to process the work permit.
Finally the use of language is similar to other internet scams. May God bless you for this analysis. You should be a detective |

BREAKING: EFCC files fraud charges against Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma
• PREMIUM TIMES
The anti-graft agency, EFCC, has filed fraud charges against Innoson Motors and its embattled chairman, Innocent Chukwuma.
The third defendant in the suit is Mr. Chukwuma’s brother, Charles.
The four-count charge is dated November 30, and filed at the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division.
Mr. Chukwuma was arrested last week and released a day later.
His arrest follows allegations he forged some documents in a transaction involving GTBank
The businessman has denied any wrongdoing.
Details http://anstalk.com/breaking-efcc-files-fraud-charges-innoson-motors/ There must be a very daft reason efcc is bringing up this issue that appeared to have taken place about ten years ago! Besides he might be framed up! only time would tell. one advice for the Igbos; you all should intelligently team up behind this man with every resource at your disposal. By resource I do not mean wailing and playing the victim card! You are a major tribe, use your strength wisely! Notice how they play divide-and-conquer by attacking Ike Ekweremadu who has strongly voiced out against this mess! You cannot fight the Federal Government militarily but you can fight them to a standstill using other means. Even though this man employs EVERY Nigerian irrespective of tribal affiliation and has no criminal record! It is only a matter of time we would find out IF the oyibos has a hand in this or it is a local problem!!! |

To say the I'm disappointed in the ibos that turned this case into a tribal affair is to say the least.
I learnt that Innosson MD operated fatter accounts with both Fidelity and Diamond banks owned by Ibos in 2009 when he was seeking for loan but they did not believe in his dream. They also doubted his imtergrity being an Igno man. They would rather lend their money to fuel importers or non Igbo businessesmen.
GTB took a risk and lent this ingrate and unfaithful man called Innocent Chukwuma the money he needed and look at where we are today.
Why didn't this man turn against his tribesmen when they refused to lend him money for his business?
The man forged a document to clear his goods when he had not paid GTB but GTB was magnanimous with him and his business even after innoson confessed to the SFU (Special Fraud Unit) he forged the documents.
Unreasonable fellows are calling for their people to close their accounts in GTB. Whao!!
GTB makes over 76% of their profit from just top 350 customers. Some of the e-rats calling for boycott of GTB are actually burden on the bank.
Have the senseless tribalist thought of if GTB decides to sack their brothers and sisters working in the bank?
Innoson is doing well by setting up a manufacturing company in Nigeria but I must quickly add so also is GTB that is lending home grown companies money.
Innoson shot himself in the foot by turning the whole thing to a tribal affair.
His people are all over Abuja and Lagos with caps in hands pleading for soft landing while him and his lawyers are withdrawing cases instituted against EFCC & GTB but its too late. To be honest, I am so ashamed of your comment because it reeks of shallowness and tribalism to spite the Igbos! if you would believe hearsays that he met Fidelity and Diamond banks for loans; both of whom he operates accounts with and. was turned down, to the extent that you leveraged on this and weighed in your points, then we are finished in this nation! Something tells me people like you are being paid here online to sway opinions of people into believing your propaganda! This same efcc filing this suit embarrassed this man initially and let him go without providing weighty accusation(s). Only for them to turn around in about 3 days to file a funny suit they would have done initially?? Don't this tell you something? Especially after he, the victim that was supposed to press charges withdrew and EVEN claimed innocently that his kangaroo arrest was not tribal? Go and sack all the Igbos in GTB na. Just know something YOU ARE NOT GOD!!! It's high the Igbos applied serious wisdom and intelligence and shun emotional outbursts when they are hurt!!! |

| Literature › Re: 11 Facts You Didn't Know About William Shakespeare by Melkizedeck: 12:11pm On Dec 24, 2017 |
GeeStaff:
William Shakespeare is considered as one of the greatest playwrights in the history of the world. The English poet was born on April 23, 1564. He is often called the "Bard of Avon" portraying him to represent the identity, beliefs and principles of the British culture.
He is the best-selling fiction author of all time (selling over 4 billion copies of written works). His style, lessons and quotes span over 400 years and till reaps relevance in our modern culture - especially in the field of literature.
His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
While Shakespeare is known for his popular works such as The Tempest, Hamlet and Macbeth - most of these book being taught at schools and colleges, a little peep closer into the life of this gifted writer reveals some truths that are often not spoken about.
The purpose of this post is to unravel some facts about Shakespeare you (probably) didn't know.
1 . Shakespeare got married at a very early age. Can you guess…? 25 maybe? You're not even close. Shakespeare joined oath together with Anne Hathaway when he was just 18. The marriage took place in Stratford, Warwickshire.
2 . Shakespeare had twins.
His marriage union with Anne Hathaway saw the birth of three children: Susan and a set of twins, Hamlet and Judith.
3 . Some of Shakespeare's best works were produced between 1589 and 1613. He predominantly produced mainly comedies and histories which are often considered to be some of the best work ever produced in these genre.
4 . The actual date of birth of Shakespeare is unknown. Although it is predominantly observed to be on 23 April, which can however be traced back to an 18th-century scholar's mistake. The widely used date - 23rd April was actually the day he died.
5 . Shakespeare's wife - Anne Hathaway, was 8 years older than him. He got married to her at age 18 while she was 26!
6 . Shakespeare has been translated into 80 languages.
7 . Shakespeare used derogatory and insulting terms in some of his plays. Contrary to popular belief that his work were mainly censored comedies and romantics, his characters knew how to call you a "slowpoke" without stooping to simplism. A collection of some of his insulting statements are on litcharts
8 . Far from being a broke artist, Shakespeare's plays made him very wealthy. In 1597, he bought the second largest house in Stratford
9 . There's a possibility that we're all spelling his name wrong. Recorded spellings of his name range from Shakspere to Shaxberd to Shappere. No documented record of him actually spelling his name as "Shakespeare.
10 . There were no portraits of Shakespeare painted in his lifetime. Therefore all existing paintings you see are all guesswork.
11 . Some scholars think Shakespeare wasn't the original writer of most of his plays. They couldn't fathom How a provincial commoner become one of the most eloquent and prolific writers in history. Even in his early career, William was writing tales that had in-depth knowledge of history and international affairs. Record doesn't indicate he went to a university.

@SuanusBlog
President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday night had a long meeting with the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr.Maikanti Baru. The centre of the discussion was the fuel supply situation nationwide.
President Buhari expressed serious concern over the situation, promising that all efforts are to be put in place to ensure a speedy solution to the situation.
At the end of the meeting, Dr.Baru assured Nigerians that there are sufficient quantities of fuel to last the country for the next twenty days. He promised that the queues will disappear soon as distribution efforts are been intensified.
He however lamented activities of some marketers who hoarded the products causing untold hardship to Nigerians, revealing that the situation is been dealt with.

Like i said earlier, the end of Innoson business has come
This is not a matter of wishing him bad but reality
Anybody in Banking sector ll understand what i am saying
As Innoson stands, all Banks both local and international have blacklisted that name for life
It ll be a financial battle for him
To worsen his case, he whipped the tribal sentiment and the publicity went viral to the point Igbos started boycotgtb tag online
This is the biggest mistake any person(small business man) talkless of an industrialist can make
All Banks work together when it comes to fraud and underviced loans.
No matter how much he pays tomorrow to GTank, the dent ll continue to hunt his business for life.
As we speak, Innoson credit worth to all local and international banks is Zero.
His kinsmen through their stupidity and victim mentality have killed his business by making all what he did behind closed doors went viral.
All Banks ll be scared to do business with him and that business can survive without loans. Well let's see who is right in the end. Things usually don't work the way you predict. You should know now that granting someone loan is a business advantage, especially one who has already established a big business. Again you should know that political administration is ephemeral. Innoson has come to stay. His business will outlive so many presidents and bank CEOs |

He was an humble businessman when he was seeking loan in 2009.
He cannot become a GTB shareholder through the back door.
Even if he wins the 6bn case of alleged charges in the supreme court,
he will certainly lose the fraud case which may run into tens of billions
at the 22% interest rate and a possible jail time.
I hope his lawyers can do the math.
Whichever way, it is in his best interest to settle out of court because
his media war will lead to nowhere. You are only being intelligent by half! There is no proof of forgery anywhere!!! except you would begin a kangaroo court process which will still be suppressed!!!

In the Bible, Jacob FRAUDULENTLY stole the right of his brother Esau, yet the entire Christian faith still justify and celebrate Jacob - simply because it is so written in the Bible.

On the Jerusalem issue, 128 countries voted against US decision (including major allies like France, Germany, UK, Italy, etc.). Most of these countries have significant Christian majority. Yet people like FFK will see this as an opportunity to advance their anti-Islamic narrative.

@POLITICSNGR
Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the chairman of Innoson motors has denied claims by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that he did not honour an invitation extended to him which is what led to his arrest.
Chukwuma says that no invitation was given to him and has not yet been told the purpose of his arrest. Below is a press statement obtained by PoliticsNGR signed by the Head of Corporate communications, Innoson, Mr Cornel Osigwe;
"Our attention has been drawn on a tweet by EFCC on its official Twitter handle claiming that the Gestapo kind of arrest of Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) today at his Enugu residence was because he didnt honour an invitation from the commission sent to him.
This claim by the commission is not factual and it tends to mislead the public and bring the personality and character of Dr Innocent Chukwuma to disrepute. Hence we want to state the true position so as to inform the general public the truth about this matter.
EFCC never at any time invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma either in writing or through any other means. We are aware that EFCC investigated GTB complaint against Innoson in 2012.
During the investigation, he was invited and he honoured the invitation. After the investigation, EFCC filed a charge against him at Lagos State High Court. The charge was subsequently struck out. However, Dr Innocent Chukwuma and Innoson Nigeria Ltd appealed against the order striking out the case on the basis that it ought to be dismissed and not struck out. The appeal - appeal no. Ca/l/1330cm/2017 Is till date still pending at the Court of Appeal Lagos division? Till date, EFCC never invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma again.
On this recent arrest, Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) has not been told officially the purpose of his arrest and he demands to know why."
https://politicsngr.com/2017/12/20/never-invited-efcc-innoson-demands-know-cause-arrest/ This is the part that gives this whole saga a tribal colouration! what brought EFFC to this matter? couldn't this matter be handled by the police? If Innosson was earlier invited as claimed by the efcc, which paper carried it? (at least Innoson is a big fish!) why has efcc not arrested Maina? Is this political?? |

Xcelinteriors:
Are you marrying her because you love her or because you want to turn her to maid. That girl should dump you as soon as possible. I am self employed and it is my husband that do prepare my baby for school every morning. I will just wake up like 7am and prepare breakfast but he will be the one to bath him and feed him. We brought the baby into this world together and should take care of him together, omolomo o le wa pa iyaoniya( ask any Yoruba to translate it for you) Stop sounding like you did your husband a favour!!! What do you mean by 'we brought the baby into the world together so we should take care of him/her together'? If your husband decides not to partake in any of the domestic chores but fully thinks of providing for his family, heavens won't fall!!! |
