Then you can offer your wife to the terrorists if they demand for her.. simple.

They don't ask, but take it by force.


And when they come to your village, you can act Rambo for them, that's your choice. But for those who can't do so, you are wrong to shame them on their misfortune

franchasofficia:
They have started again.


The coup was not carried out by only Igbos. There was Yoruba, Middlebelt, and today Niger Delta soldiers among the coupists but you unscrupulous elements always make it look like it was just done by only Igbos soldiers.


You guys also intentionally ignore to tell the world why Michael Opkara the Eastern Premier at Enugu at that time was spared; Archbishop of Canterbury visited him that day and the coupists didn't want to attract British wrath, so they spared him.


Nnamdi Azikiwe the President was marked for killing but unfortunately as it was, his cousin, Ifeajuna who happened to be among the coup leaders leaked the coup information to him and Zik sneaked out to the Carribeans on health vacation grounds.


You guys also forgot to tell the world that Akintola was told about the coup weeks before and he communicated to Sir Ahmadu Bello his best friend whom he aligned with to persecute Obafemi Awolowo which was the main thing that even angered the young soldiers to carry out a coup to stop the political turmoil in Western Nigeria today Yoruba region between Awolowo and Akintola in which they unjustly jailed Awolowo that angered most of the young soldiers that carried out the coup.



Go and read "Why we struck" by a gallant Yoruba soldier that was part of the coup planners and leader.


When Akintola learnt about the coup, he said went and purchased a pistol swearing to kill anybody that near his residence thinking it was a child's play while Ahmadu Bello laughed it off believing his juju would save him.


Tafawa Belewa was not marked for killing because the young soldiers liked him, they only believed that Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were misleading Belewa but when the coupists discovered that the coup was already failing in parts of Nigeria like Enugu, etc, they angrily shot Belewa, a very huge mistake they made cos Belewa was a nice man




The coup was a military affair but they made sure it was turned to an Igbo people affair even when civilian Igbos were never carried along nor consulted.



And why will Igbos who controlled most sectors of Nigeria carry a coup; Igbo man was the President though with less power which he did willingly by allowing Belewa to become Prime Minister after winning the election while he became President which has more foreign influence while PM ran the day to day activities of the nation, Igbo man was the Senate President (Nwafor Orizu), Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi), a man loyal to the Igbos, who also came from Eastern Nigeria then was the IG of Police, Igbo man was the documented richest man in Nigeria then (Sir Louis Ojukwu, Ojukwu's father).


Igbos dominated even Northern civil service because they were the most learned and qualified then which made Bello to issue a statement that they will stop hiring Igbos and start hiring foreigners if they can't find Northerners to fill the position, and also made Awolowo to start free education in Western Nigeria to enable them catch up with Igbos occupying virtually all positions including in Western Nigeria.



So there was no need for Igbos to carry out coup, the coup was entirely carried out by young, naive soldiers of which majority were Igbos from today Southeast and South South/Niger Delta in their foolish effort to rescue Nigeria from the hands of corrupt Nigerian politicians the British people handed power to.



But due to the already brewing envy against Igbos for cheerleading in most sectors in Nigeria then by the Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, the coup was conveniently tagged an Igbo coup just as Yorubas conveniently tagged Peter Obi an Igbo Presidential candidate despite Obi winning massively outside Igbo states including in Lagos, Middlebelt, Northeast and Abuja.


Una go tire sha.



We will keep exposing you guy's lies and hatred for Igbos, all thanks to social media and Internet, so gone are the days of spreading dangerous propaganda against Igbos using Lagos-Ibadan expressway brown envelope newspapers

Series of lies concocted as truth to suit a tribal sentiments. But as long as they pacify your hard conscience concerning the widespread tragedy your blood brothers instigated on innocent families across the nation, which also affected your own Igbo people during the civil war, then you are free to hold on to your selfish belief.

But the facts, according to the living witnesses of what truly transpired on that inglorious day, certainly disproved your self made history above.

NSK4U:
Which they forever pay the price? Are you better off than them? If you are, why selling all your land to them to japa? The same people that you claim are paying price bounced back to compete with you that never lost any property to war and you don't think you are holding yourself down trying to hold the moving train down?

The ship of progress has left, it's sailing safely for the Igbos, those who think they are better off should first free themselves of almajiri and 'uncle please give me money to eat voices echoing in every corner of their streets'.

Keep on deceiving yourself, your people who the same Almajiris recently kidnapped along Enugu Nsukka road, have you rescued them?

kettykin:
No Igbo is crying here. What we’re witnessing is pure selective amnesia, FFK. You’ve conveniently jumped into the middle of the book, ignoring the critical beginning.

Let’s set the record straight: Awolowo was rotting in prison, serving time for treasonable felony—a lost cause in every sense of the word. Western Nigeria was under a state of emergency, chaos engulfed the region, and no one was weeping for him. Yet, here you are, fast-forwarding to a chapter where a group of military officers stepped in to restore order, conveniently skipping the blood-soaked prologue.

Even more hypocritical is your silence on Awolowo’s eventual forced suicide, a tragic culmination that elicited no national mourning. Or the thousands slaughtered during Operation Wetie, victims of unspeakable violence. Where were the tears then?

And now, you dare shed crocodile tears when soldiers tear each other apart but turn mute when the same horrors are inflicted on innocent civilians? Spare us the double standards. This is not selective memory—it’s deliberate hypocrisy.

If it was about Awolowo, according to your self-serving narrative, why was he not released by Ironsi immediately power was handed over to him by his power hungry Igbo kinsmen? Why was it left until Gowon took over government before Awo was released?

The other tribes in Nigeria are very much aware of the Igbo domineering attitude and nepotism, and are wary of you taking over governance in this country. Because you people will only selfishly and greedily take over every sector of the economy with impunity, with total disregard to other tribes' feelings or complaints.

Besides your people never love the country, but yourselves alone, and we all know that you are only praying for the destruction of the country, so why should we hand it over to you?

Last Friday, January 10, 2025, Oyo State Government announced Prince Akeem Owoade as the new Aláàfin of Oyo-elect. The state government said that its announcement was final. Hours after the announcement, an audio went viral. In the audio, the Àwíse Àgbáyé (Chief diviner worldwide), Professor Wande Abimbola, spoke about the circumstances surrounding the selection of Prince Owoade as Aláàfin-designate.

The former Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, said that following the near impasse that characterised the selection of another Ikú Bàbá Yèyé for Oyo, he was contacted by Governor Seyi Makinde to use Ifá divination to select a new Aláàfin. He added that he travelled down from his US base to Oyo, and spent 10 days on the divination mat, asking Ifá about all the eligible princes. Ifá, he added, picked Owoade and the report, 21 pages, was put together by the Òyìbó wife of the Àwíse and sent to the governor.

My curiosity arose when Baba Abimbola said that almost a year after submitting the report, Governor Makinde called again to ask for another Ifá divination to select two alternatives to the first choice by Ifá. The renowned Babalawo said that that could probably be to avoid a situation where, after investigation on the character of the initial choice, there were found some blemishes on his personality! I was alarmed that Àwíse Àgbáyé could express that line of argument after Ifá had made a choice among many princes presented for divination!

Like Baba Abimbola said, nobody has ever questioned his integrity in all the positions he has held in academics and politics. The hallmark of a Babalawo is truthfulness. Asking the Àwíse Àgbáyé to consult Ifá on the all-important matter of Aláàfin is the right choice. But I am worried that when Governor Makinde asked for a second divination, he did not lecture the governor that Ifá kìí paró (Ifá does not lie), Òpèlè kìí s’èké (Òpèlè does not play tricks), and insisted that there would be no second divination.

I am shocked that Baba did not insist that Ifá is Elérìí Ìpín (the one who witnesses destiny), and as such, knows the destiny of Owoade right from his conception, and that Ifá would not in any way make the mistake of choosing a picaro as the Aláàfin! I am not a Babalawo, but I know that Baba Abimbola knows that no matter what anyone might have done in the secret, Ifá has the capacity to reveal it as contained in the common refrain by Babalawos that “ìtànsán oòrùn yí ó fi ó hán (the breaking of the sun will reveal you)!

My second problem with the selection process is the fact that it was the governor, and not the Òyómèsì (Oyo kingmakers), who consulted the Àwíse Àgbáyé for divination. In that audio, the Àwíse asked all Yoruba to stick to the culture of the race. One of the cultures of the race pertaining to the selection of an oba is that the kingmakers are the ones who do the selection through the guidance of Ifá.

Umuinyioku:
What's your level of education?

I want to know because you sound half baked and crass illiterate.

Government is a continuum. If Buhari arrested him and has left Office, the incumbent has statutory role to play in adjudication of the case. That's why I am question your level of education and intelligence.

Tinubu can make pronounment on the matter because he is the president.

Illiteracy is a disease!

Without your daily dose of insultive comments, you will lose your insanity. Hope you are getting okay now with your mad venting on this thread? If not, try more insults and you will be alright las las.

As for your man, MNK, let me repeat for your insipid mind to digest. Beg Jubril Elsudan, who initially jailed him, to release him, because if you are waiting for Tinubu to do so for you, then my mad bros, you get an eternity to wait for.

Umuinyioku:
If Your Tinubu is sincere, Why has he refused to release Nnamdi KANU since he holds ace to peace in the region?

Beg Jubril Elsudan to release your man, and not Tinubu who has nothing to do with his incarceration.

wiseone28:
Not yet

Okay I thought this was the final when the match went into extra time. My bad.

Against all odds, Man U won the FA Cup this year. Big congrats to them.

Arsenal have the the upper hand in this, and should win it. And they are certainly missing Bukayo Saka's deft touches. If he was in this match, it would not have entered extra time.

She is soliciting for money

So what? What's your own headache about that?

She is a widow, and she is poor, and in a civilised society this immediately entitle her to government assistance. If anybody therefore is willing to help her poor situation, why are you beefing about it, or envious of her?

It is time DSS and NIA agent infiltrate Nairaland to fish out the fake and defamatory news merchants here and jail them.

Bluntemperor:
For the first time, Americans are turning New Pages- by returning Nigerian Loot.
This is good.
Hope we get the Emiefiele loot back too, from different Continents.
•Most of our So Called Leaders,Past, Politicians,the Legislatures ( States and Federal),- are OLENLA( Big Thieves).
•They include - the NNPC, DISCOS,Nigeria Air,
that Fails to Fly,the Ministry of Poverty Alieviation,etc.
DISCOS -who refused to give Regular Lights - but to themselves and their Ogas,hence we get more Darkness,but they failed to allows Nigeria to get Industrialization.
They just corners everything and makes the People look Stupid, because the Masses are Powerless!
Kiss the Truth!

You failed to add the pension fund administrators and their owners who are greedily milking the Nigerian pensioners with no compassion.

Just like everyone in your side is a PhD holder even the spermatozoa that is swimming through the vagina is already a PhD holder.

You too Madam or Bro lone-father-burier, when are you celebrating your own billion Naira like all your kinsmen? Or don't you wish to be called your hamlet billionaire too?

Nairaland with useless news. Seun is brainless

Seun is brainless, yet he is making bagful of money out of your followership everyday. What an irony!

Originalsly:
Noooo!...I never said I believe her.....nor did I say she was lying. But I would more lean to believe she is telling the truth because rape victims are seriously traumatized and worse when raped at such a tender age can easily cause serious mental problems ....which she has. On the guy's side... I'm thinking if a guy is accused of rape ...he would flat out deny it ...call the accused a liar ...and accuse her of extortion.... even if he did it or not ... like P Diddy.... but the one thing he wouldn't do is get people who were not there to swear he didn't do it. If your homeboy was accused of rape ...and you know he is "not that type" ...would you be swearing he didn't do it?.....or would you be saying you doubt it was him because you don't know him to be that type? Getting the mother and brother to basically swear he didn't do it is fishy to me

Well done, Oga Judge, she only needs you as a witness, and with all your statements above on the case, and Sam Altman will spend long time in jail with no further witness.

You even disprove his Mother and Sister's defence for him as though you were there when he was allegedly committing the rape. Anyone who has you as a witness against him in a court case is doomed already.

Oga, stop judging, because with the measures you judge, you too will be equally judged.

I’ve been sick for like 5 years now. Major

Go to MFM Prayer City in Lagos and undergo 3 days deliverance session and you will be made whole. Trust me.

He must have been a very tough and forceful man while alive. All his pictures here depict this.

The person that caught you stealing plantains at Mile 12 market back in August of 2024. It's really a pity I saved you from them lynching you that day.

An intrepid liar spotted. Lying is a sign of insanity. Visit your therapist.

A cheap coach for a corrupt football federation.

I think Elumelu does this in a personal capacity and not a corporate one so it doesn't fall in the purview of this

I am a former UBA senior staff. Elumelu definitely falls into category. He uses the company money to throw lavish and exclusive end of year party, where he always invites A-list musician like Wizkid and Tuface, and during which you will see him behaving like a delirious celebrity, and not like the sober executive he should be.

Allogic:
which south, and what resources.

FYI, South are all states below the Niger, Benue rivers. While their resources are those economically profitable resources like crude oil, cocoa, timber, palm oil, which are far enriching than the terrorism, banditry and kidnapping being exported from the northern regions.

Rubbish. Mr governor, You are talking rubbish Sir.
Your Excellency Sir, you're not in touch with the economic realities on ground. The removal of fuel subsidy only freed up more funds to be looted by these thieves in power. Any Economic policy that doesn't put the welfare of the people into consideration is not only wicked, but evil and satanic.
Same Tinubu fought Jonathan in 2012 when Jonathan wanted to do this. Tinubu led a protest against same. Is Tinubu not a hypocrite for condemning his predecessor for wanting to do a thing then went on to do same thing?
I know what I'm going through due to this Tinubu-inflicted hardship. Since today, I haven't seen food to eat. No money. No support anywhere. Pls someone should in God's name help me cos I am weak at attempting to help myself without a headway

Old story. Don't you have anything new to tell us?

Na Arsenal dem dey play next o. 😏😕

So what? They will thrash Arsenal. They dominated Man City, they almost won today's match at Liverpool ground. And Arsenal are not giants, Manchester United will win them.

Man U will likely win today's match. They are holding up admirably well. But to win, they will need a dash of luck. Hope it ends well for them.
