Gibberish. Who is tinubu for the igbos to support? A man who hates the igbos with passion? Together with his fake pastor of a wife.. Nonsense!!

Please support your insinuation that Tinubu hates the Igbos with hard evidence.

A man who had a Joe Igbokwe, an Ibo man, in his cabinet.

pinkPUSSY:
We have gone beyond this tribal politics of a thing, some Igbos are supporting Tinibu while some yerubas are supporting Obi


Stop dragging Igbos into ur mess Fredrick

Who are the "yerubas"?

Just curious.

edungene7:
says who am certain u have been brainwashed stop going to burdillion for food I bet u will get yr emancipation

Argue logically when faced with opposition.

Insinuation takes you nowhere, except to harden your opposition stance.

What has bourdillon got to do with a city development? Is Tinubu the only governor from the inception of Lagos State to put its development challenges on him alone?

Politics will end, and will not put kobo into your pockets. Leave politics to the polithiefcians, and free your mind.

edungene7:
Dele have finally agreed that Lagos is a glorified slum wia people fall into drainages during training season although Thiefunubu hijacked an abounded city Lagos built by the military for economic benefit he only successed in creating an Army of agberos and looted the state to stupor now Lagos is the highest indebted state despite is high IGR what u find in modern day cities can't be found in Lagos yet some idiots of the federal republic want him to be president it can't happen never lighten does not strike twice on same spot

And what are you, or your family member doing in the Lagos, if you hated it so much?

Besides, what is the population of the Berkane, compared to Lagos? What's operative in a small city cannot work in a big city like Lagos, and New York.

All you tribal & religious bigots, for your information, Iam not supporting any presidential candidate due to religious or tribal reasons, that's rubbish! The problem of Nigeria is much bigger than that. I don't need a president who's coming to enrich himself, family, friends/cartel. I need a president who's ready to render his best services to the country, I need a president who has positive plans for the country. I need a president that Nigeria & the whole of Africa can be proud of. I need a president who's ready to serve the country with so much patriotism, diligence & commitment. We've played with the future of this country alot & I think it's time for us to be serious & get things right this time. As for me, I've forever pledge to myself that henceforth, I will always vote with my clear conscience, I will never be biased/sentimental in my decision making anymore. Perhaps the candidate I support doesn't even know me, so what am I even going to personally gain from him if he eventually wins? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. Iam voting for a candidate who's ready to work, a candidate who has something to offer, not a candidate who wants to be a president simply because it's his turn, which some of us here know fully well that he just wants to be the president, not that he has any positive agenda for the betterment of our country, not at all. The energy is not there anymore, it is very clear for us to see, yet some tribalistic, religious, selfish, & greedy set of people/caucus are pushing him to go & sit there as the president while they go on with their usual criminal & evil activities in government. Some people are just so evil & wicked, and they will never die well in this life. No conscience at all, only after their personal interest. They just don't give a f*ck about the situation of the country simply because, the situation doesn't affect them because, they always have the opportunity to always steal from Government. I don't blame them sha, I blame some of the people who blindly & foolishly vote such type of politicians into power. But the question that sometimes bothers me is; "How much wealth can a man acquire before he can be contented?" No amount of wealth at all. To be honest, Man is insatiable.

So after all this your turenchi, who is the political "messiah" you are planning to vote for?

If you like yourself, on the election day, you had better stay in your house, munching agbado and abacha, and watching Nickelodeon with your family, rather than sweating in the sun for a useless polithiefcian.

lhordspy:
Just another plot to put the iranian in a bad light to the world. But the Iranian president is no coward like our African leaders that licks the feet of the Europeans.

Amanpour knows the iranian president so well, she knows he will never accept to that, so why schedule an interview with him when you know you can't dress according to the president's religious doctrine.

It was definitely planned either for clout-chasing, cheap attention seeking, or portraying the already battered image of the iranian president or iranians in general in a bad way right in the face of the world.


Thank God, Jesus wasnt around this time. This present day propaganda dishing set of medias would have made us believe he is bad just because he wont do to their bidding.


I think CNN, BBC and other european maintstream media are the problem of this world. You want to interview me without headscarf which is against my doctrine, i said No. Everyone can go their way then. Must you cry to the world? Na by force?


Modified : For everyone quoting me and coming right at me. We Nigerians are just usually unnecessarily emotional about religious sentimentalism. We are blind by religious sentiment, it doesnt even matter even if we are to be packed like chickens inside a single bus, or be reffer to as a third-world country. As far as our colonizers are christians, and we are too.. We dont give a damn about what they do to us and how they treat us.

For goodness sake, can't you see behind your religion blindness that this was planned by CNN and Amanpour incojunction with the US to put the iranian president in a bad light in the face of the world.? You guys dont know how dirty foreign politics can get. You think it is by peter obi vs tinubu type of gbas gbos Nigeria childish politics we play here. Foreign Politics is filthy, they will always tend to want to bring you down in one way or the other.

He knows their plan.. He stood his ground, he is not a coward like our african leaders that can be bully into submission. He should get a statue, he is a man after my heart, just next to vladmir Putin.

Your argument is not coherent. Which side are you supporting Amanpour or Raisin, the Dictator who is not allowing religious freedom in his country?

Amanpour, brought up in Iran, reiterates that she has interviewed many Iranian presidents outside Iran, without being forced to wear head scarf, so why is Mr. Religious Extremist forcing her to do so before being interviewed? Iran is not America, therefore if you are in Rome, behave like the Romans, or else, stay in your lane.

And what has JESUS to do in your argument, He served no purpose there. Why not Muhammed?

Both names previously identified for high level corruption in government.

All high profiled criminal minded individuals are Buhari's highly esteemed friends.

What a country!

ScamHunter:
Bola has been tinubulated by the Northerners. Suffersticated politics has backfired on the face of our Yoruba people. I just pity them. After 2023, they'll go back to the opposition politics that they're specialists in since 1960. Since they think they could sell the rest of the south to please one man as they did in 2015. I pity them because they're permanently relegated. Now northerners do not trust them and Southerners do not trust them. That's the consequence of being double faced, double mouthed chamelons that betray everything betrayable. I like what the north is doing. Betray the betrayers. They thought singing Sai baba at the expense of the south would permanently keep power rotating between the SW and North to spite Ndigbo and Jonathan. Man no be God.

HISTORY NEVER DIES....*

What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

Agboola321:
Traffic offence is a crime but I feel the rule is quite harsh if he had to spend 3 years in prison. That's a whole lot.

LASG should come up with a more refined and humane approach.

I am very sure it is not for contravening traffic laws that he was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. It must be for another serious offence.

lookingfly:
why always insult peter? What has he done to you? So tinubu, atiku and kwankwaso are not senseless. Hatred and sentiments has made some people blind.

So when you are passing your own insults to the "agbado urchins" and the "mikano pikins" of Tinubu and Atiku, hatred and sentiment have not made you blind?
