ChiefkeefGB4:
When it comes to good governance, accountability and transparency you won't compare Nigeria to USA. It is only when it come to perks of office fantastically corrupt politicians and their supporters make comparisons to the greatest civilizations in the world like USA,UK and Canada.

Situations differ, when the question demands it we look for Best Practice anywhere we can fond it.

The picture is a Best Practice. Deal with it!

This rogue is still talking. Why is Makinde afraid to probe him?

Oyo State should focus on improving lives of its citizens and Yorubaland at large. We are not interested in probes in SW. Our goal is development and forward growth. We should set correction....but probe is out of the question.

The Speaker is on roll....haters can quench!


Team Lagos!

Sanders is not even a President yet....just a candidate yet his SS agents stand in the snow and cold and bear out wet precipitation ....just to guard an empty vehicle!


God punish haters of Gbaja.

Team Lagos on the move.....

Team Lagos!

Haters go die!

I've been hearing this nonsense talk about tinubu been president, I've been thinking it's some kind of joke seeing his past criminal record. Okay let's forget about his age and past record,lets focus on his religion.

A Muslim can't be president after another Muslim in Nigeria, it's impossible, except Yoruba people want to divide the country. Your religion tolerant might work in Yoruba land but definitely not Nigeria, we don't want it and we won't hide our bigotry.

Tinubu is a Muslim from south west, osibanjo,fayemi can contest but definitely not a Muslim man

Some of you have brain matter deficiency syndrome, BrainMDS. But dont worry we have doctors here to set your brains right.

You attempted this shyyte with Atiku and failed. Now your wailing mode has taken over and you are beginning to pull different straw everyday to see which has roots to hold you from drowning.

So you did not see any wrong in muslim Atiku succeeding muslim Buhari in 2019 elections?

She visited White House or....she visited white's house?

The background was blacked out, why? Lets see the sorrounding landscape.


Anyway, may God console Mrs Sharibu's heart and return Leah to her safely.

MACBAN leadership during the South East Security Summit in Enugu said Umahi is the next president of Nigeria after Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure ends in 2023.

In exchange for all that what do they want?

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state have been proposed for Nigeria's presidency in the next election in 2023


- Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state have been proposed for Nigeria's presidency in the next election in 2023


- The governor was endorsed by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) on Thursday, June 20

- According to the leadership of MACBAN, Nigeria needs visionary leaders like Governor Umahi to steer the country in the right direction

The leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) on Thursday, June 20, proposed the governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi for the 2023 presidency, the Nation reports.

MACBAN leadership during the South East Security Summit in Enugu said Umahi is the next president of Nigeria after Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure ends in 2023.

Speaking at the summit, the national president of MACBAN, Muhammadu Kirowa said the governor as the chairman of the Southeast Governors' Forum was able to ensure civility between herdsmen and their respective hosts in the south east.

Represented by the national secretary of MACBAN, Othman Ngalzarma, the national president of the association said MACBAN is impressed that the Ebonyi state governor was able to persuade his other counterparts in the south east to cue in to his programme of peaceful coexistence.

Ngalzarma said: “We say a big thank you. We really appreciate your wonderful disposition and your outstanding desires for peace. What this country needs are visionary leaders like you."

He said: "South east will not boil. If south east is going to boil we will not be at this summit in large numbers. South east is also not stubborn, otherwise we will not be here today”

Commending the governments of Enugu and Anambra states for the establishment of peace and security committees, Ngalzarma called on MACBAN members to respect the traditions and culture of host communities and be open for dialogue at all times.

“MACBAN stands for truth, just it and equity for all and does not and will not condone criminality even within its own fold," he said.

Represented by the Ebonyi state governor, Umahi said Nigeria is facing a very serious security challenge.

"If it is not rustlers, it is the herdsmen, if it is not bandits, it is armed robbers and kidnappers. There are even cyber criminals ravaging the internet," the governor said.

He further called on the leadership of the association to prevail on its members to always respect the traditions, custom and culture of their communities in order to have a sustainable relationship between the farmers and the herdsmen.

Ngalzarma gave the advice on Thursday, May 16 in Abakaliki during a stakeholders meeting convened by Governor Umahi on ways of permanently resolving the incessant clashes.

Ngalzarma urged the association’s members in the state to respect the rights of farmers to reciprocate the commendable level of accommodation afforded them by people of the state.

I can recall that the south west was given the opportunity to produce the speaker in 2014... Even tho they were in opposition to pdp

Speak after your hangover clears. There was no vacancy in the Speakership in 2014.

Warship:
My brother I know that the cursed soul is from the waste that is why I told him to see me at the next war.

We will rather go into extinction than be enslaved & Islamized by Fulani terrorists

Westerners dont hide identity. People that are not proud of their roots hide their identity.

You have three types of Yoruba identities here, those of us in your face with declaration of who we are. We come in two modes...1)the ones that do not understand ibo like moi, 2) the ones that hear, speak and write ibo fluently. The third type take on monikers like Chuckuma, Nwafor, Ebere....but they openly defend West at all times and attack East like they are terrorists, very fanatical.

All three types do not hide their roots and what they are here for.

If the person is not in that three then they are not Yoruba.


....and let me add, there are many non-Ibos that can speak and write your language better than even some of you. There are Fulanis that converse in Ibo like its their native language.

Find who Juliusmalema is. He is not Yoruba.

I didnt say SE o.
I no dey inside SE matter.

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has described the demand by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association to set up a security outfit in Igboland as an implementation of age-long agenda to Islamize the people of the area.

They spoke in reaction to the call by MACBAN for the establishment of Fulani Youth Vigilante body in the South East.

MACBAN explained that the establishment of the vigilante group was aimed at ensuring adequate security in the region.

But in a statement on Friday by Comrade Uchenna Madu, Leader of MASSOB, he said that the Miyetti Allah, which has the overwhelming backing of the Federal Government could not have made such demand without the knowledge of the ruling government.

Madu said, “For the Fulanis to boldly issue out this sacrilegious and abominable statement proves that the establishment of their vigilante is already in execution stage.

“They merely want to know the reactions of Ndigbo which will always be the temporal noisemaking.

“In a few weeks, the President Buhari-led federal government will establish a biased national paramilitary security body to assist the police in combating crimes all over Nigeria; the Fulanis will take over the leadership control of this newly created civilian police, both in national and state levels, they will be equipped and armed for the sole purpose of conquering Igbo land and other Christian dominated states.”

He reiterated the MASSOB’s earlier warning that “until the Igbo political, traditional, religious leaders recognize the potencies of the pro-Biafra groups and engage them on the security of lives and properties of Ndigbo, Igbo land will continue to be a playing field for the devourers of our people.

“The South West leaders have never condemned or proscribed the activities of OPC or other Oduduwa pressure groups, instead they are working with them for the general interest of Oduduwa land.

“Even in the northern region, their leaders have never condemned the terrorist activities of Boko Haram and MIYETTI ALLAH. Igbo governors, State Assembly members, Senators and House of Representatives members are all cowards and political errand men.”

“The MIYETTI ALLAH is free to establish their hypocritical security body in Igbo land as nobody will oppose them. Ndigbo should stop deceiving themselves with numerous media noisemaking and whatsapp group chat. Many Igbo known and unknown groups and individuals will engage in media noisemaking without any proper and effective plan to counter this genocidal onslaught against our future existence.

“Though MASSOB and other pro Biafra groups are non violent, we still have our own traditional means and mechanism to protect the lives and properties of the people of Biafra,” he further stated.

Team Lagos!

rikithor:
the coward south yeast governors are playing the role of helpless Ortom of Benue(when he was in ap shit)buhari killing boys were slaughtering Benue indigene' throat,he was lazying invoking a lifeless man's name for help

Lol.

QueenSekxy:
He's a very stupid man. You can imagine paying terrorists for destroying people's farmland.

What's wrong with southern governors?

Lol

He should be compensating his farmers, not fulani herders.

How does miyetti allah even get access to enter govt house to begin with?

Can the chairman of okrika clothe sellers or the president of spare parts auto dealers get audience with a governor?

Juliusmalema:
ON FULANI HERDSMEN:
“Fulani herdsmen will not be part of any security arrangement in Abia State. Such strategy could work elsewhere but not in Abia State. We have our own plans which we will be willing to share with other people if they are interested. Our plans do not have provision for Herdsmen as Vigilantes.
"One of the reasons why we have no instances of Herders-Farmers clash in Abia State is because we adopted an innovative and unique strategy which takes a human view of the situation. I spent seven years in the north as an undergraduate and postgraduate student, and I have a fair idea of how the average Fulani behaves and thinks.
"One thing we have done in Abia is to set up Mediation Committees at the State and Local Government levels. When cows destroy crops, the cows don’t know the difference between cash crops and normal grass. Someone must take responsibility. I have mandated the mediation committee to investigate real cases of destruction of farmlands and even, the killing of cows and when such instances are confirmed, I choose to pay either the owner of the farm or the cow owner as the case maybe. I prefer to pay for one or two cows to losing any life. One human life is more expensive than all the cows put together.
"However, our major emphasis is on ensuring peaceful coexistence amongst all those concerned. This is why we hear little about clashes in Abia State. There are herdsmen in Abia but we have managed to create a template that ensures peace”.

Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu
Governor, Abia State

Thats not a security strategy. This is compensation or amnesty to appease grievants, not a security strategy at all.

Wahala dey o!
That first picture killed it. Wetin dat boy tie together to make headphone like this?

goodnessme1:
God bless mazi Nnamdi kanu.
I love him.



Enemies of igbos and those impostors that claims to be igbo don already go mad on this thread.they are the one hating mazi Nnamdi KANU.

See them UP There,many will still comment.

Hajiya, you come behind me and make comment against the responses above you. Are you aware that my comment is in fact directly above you? Shey na me you take style dey call enemy of Igbo?

MONIKERREVEALER:
you are not fronting as an igboman yet you have been writing igbo all over the place without stating what tribe you come from categorically even to the igboman, warship, who you were e-battling with before I showed you up?!!

is that not the same way you wicked souls say that the first coup was an "igbo" coup but later say southsouth have no igbos?!!!

na pesin wey no sabi una wey una go brainwash with una propaganda oyorubas!!!

gerraway from here you nincompoop!!!

you disgust me!!!

You said he failed to identify his tribe but you concluded he is Yoruba. Yorubas in Nairaland dont hide behind pseudos we come frontally to assault, and then we take ownership. Find a way to figure out his root if its that important you must know, dont get lazy and just give him a tribe....particularly not those who are bold and mighty proud of their roots as Yorubas are.

UdechiHD:
The guy you're quoting is a non-Nigerian. He's Ghanian trying to cause ethnic tension in this country. By trying to make nairaland an international forum, Seun brought in these infiltrators from Ghana, South Africa and Kenya unknowingly by posting battle threads vs Nigeria to push traffic. The Afonja and IPOB battles even before the coming of Nnamdi Kanu is Seun's doing.
Only Seun can expose these outsiders he brought in years ago. The likes of JuliusMalema (SA), Osagyefo (GH), Kasovich (GH) and countless monikers in their hundred have helped in heating this site, stamping hate and ethnic chauvinism amongst the major tribes in this country, even them foolishly engaging each other unknowingly. Only Seun can expose the local tribal warlords who have reign supreme here, some now in their fifties and still mentoring younger generations in the hate trend.
All thanks to Nairaland and it's years of hate propagation. The infighters here have helped spread hate into other cyber forum in this country. I won't be surprised if nairaland helped mentor Nnamdi Kanu and Adeyinka Grandson both of which nurtured their hate here as members.
Vulgar words unknown to the humane vocabulary of this country where invented or rather grew in leaps from here. Eg.
Flat Heads,
Cone Heads,
Brown Roof,
Erosion region,
Potopoto republic,
Ewedu guzzling monster,
Tiger claw face,
Scratched face,
Biafuro,
Yoruba fallen demon,
Ijaw drunks,
Ibo cannibals,
Skull miners,
IPOB pigs,
Afonjas,
Baby factory,
Ashawo Bini,
Aboki almajiri goat,
Boko Haram northerner,
And many more.

I have maintained that it's not too late for Seun to change the pshye of his forum. They are technological sophistications to put in place and he knows them, eg face feature and others. He either puts an end to he financial gains of traffic at all cost syndrome which breeds hate and unhealthy rivalry or reinvent this site as a partway for national unity and growth.
Failure to do this will surely finger him an accomplice in an event of civil war or genocide in this country. And shall be judged by the Hague as a sponsor of hate just as Radio Hutu.

The last statement should be considered a threat.

Nairaland was not in existence the whole decades spanning over 50yrs that inter-tribal conflicts were rampant in Nigeria. Do you fail to notice that since Nairaland we hardly hear of religious riots in North anymore? They are not now as frequent as was before Nairaland.

It is fair to say Nigerians are now depleting their anger and frustrations on the internet and places like Nairaland, twitter, facebook have become the Sabongari, anyone can enter there and vent their anger on others, no need to take dagger and sword into homes and markets in Sabongari and butcher lives.

Generalpatton:
I think its the relatively unknown colonel e.a etuk who was the brain behind all the victories of colonel adekunle.below is a brief history about him.

Notes on key commanders during the siege of Owerri



FEDERAL NIGERIAN SIDE



Colonel E.A. Etuk (rtd)



Throughout this essay I have referred to this fine officer as “Etuk.” In some publications he is referred to as “Utuk” but I have used “Etuk” because that is what was used in the most recent official Army publication on the Civil War. Colonel EA Etuk (rtd) [N415] was admitted to the “Boys Company” (Nigerian Military School) in 1954 at age 14. In 1958, he graduated from NMS and was a soldier at the officer preparatory school at Apapa in Lagos. He was selected for further officer cadet training at Fort Dix in New Jersey, followed by six months of cavalry and armored training at Fort Knox in Kentucky, both in the United States – as part of the USAAF Officer Leadership Training program of that era. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in June 1963, underwent further training and was welcomed home in 1964 by then Defence Minister, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu.



Etuk served as a subaltern in the 4th Battalion at Ibadan under the late Lt. Col. Abogo Largema. As a Captain he was deployed to the 2nd Brigade at Apapa under the late Brigadier Zakaria Maimalari. During the count down to the war he rejected an invitation by Colonel Effiong to return to the eastern region to fight under Ojukwu. He was subsequently a staff officer (operations), charged with weapons acquisition under Lt. Col. Iliya Bissala at AHQ and went on arms purchasing missions abroad for Nigeria at the onset of the civil war. In October 1967, Lt. Col. Bissala prevented then Lt. Col. Murtala Mohammed from drafting Etuk to the 2nd Division for the disastrous Onitsha assault river crossing. However, he was later literally “hijacked” by Lt. Col. B.A.M. Adekunle and deployed to the 3rd Division as the Officer Commanding the 8 Battalion in Calabar. After battalion operations in the Calabar-Itu-Ikot-Ekpene axis he was redeployed to Port Harcourt as Commander, 16 Brigade. As a Field Major, he took part in the successful 3MCDO campaign for Port Harcourt along with officers like Lt. Col. Filemon Shande, Lt. Col. Pius Eromobor, Major George Innih, and (initially) Adaka Boro, among others.



After the fall of Port Harcourt, Etuk was tasked (as a Field Lt. Col.) with the capture of Owerri as part of “Operation OAU”.



As the commander of the subsequently beleaguered 16th Brigade, he emerged among all the Nigerian field commanders of the civil war as the most highly thought of by his Biafran opponents. According to Madiebo,



“….. the enemy force at Owerri which was the [16] Brigade under a young Calabar officer called Utuk [Etuk], was easily the best fighting unit fielded by Nigeria throughout the war. Right from Port Harcourt, and particularly at Afam, it had become obvious that the Brigade was a force well led. Inside Owerri, they fought with extraordinary courage, flexibility and determination. The withdrawal of the Brigade from Owerri was tactically tidy and well planned and executed. Without doubt no other Nigerian Brigade could have withstood for more than a month the punishment the enemy [16] Brigade absorbed with patience for over four months. Only that Brigade could have got out of Owerri under the circumstances.”



After the Owerri debacle, Lt. Col. Etuk was temporarily appointed Garrison Commander for Port Harcourt before returning to command the newly reinvigorated 16 Brigade under the new 3MCDO Commander during “Operation Tail Wind” – the final offensive of the war. His second-in-command this time around was Captain Buhari, a former NCO and concessional commissioned officer who had distinguished himself during the Owerri breakout.



However, Madiebo is not the only former Biafran military leader to complement Etuk. When the war finally ended in January 1970, after Ojukwu and Madiebo had fled into exile, Etuk joined then Colonel Obasanjo for a meeting with the Biafran high command, which was going through the process of surrendering. After the formal introductions, Colonel Joe ‘Hannibal‘ Achuzia, who mostly commanded the Biafran ‘Republic of Benin’ Division but had faced Etuk in battle at various times in Port Harcourt and Owerri, asked,



“Are you the Etuk who gave us all these headaches and all these troubles?”



Etuk later privately hosted former Biafran Chief of General Staff and COS (DHQ) Major General Phillip Effiong for a meal. Effiong reportedly said:



“You, this boy, you gave us headache.”

Thanks for inviting me to talk on a matter concerning SE. In case you were not aware, Ibos in Nairaland banned me from talking about their region. Ordinarily, and to respect the ban, I would not have said a word about this article but since an invitation like this is a voluntary solicitation for my input then I do not consider it ordinary at all, I am hereby returning the honor and giving my full input on this article.

First, I say may the souls of the gallant soldiers that served their various fatherlands on both sides of the dispute rest in peace.

Second, no one who put up show of gallantry and bravery in the war should be dismissed as anything but a hero and a brave warrior. War is not for simpletons. In the old days of yore when men go to war they scheduled it so that they will minimize suffering and hardship on the manpower at the fore front. Therefore wars were not fought during planting season or hunting season. You needed men in the field to plant crops and in forest to bring meat, you needed the iron for farming implements, not for forging swords, axe, machettes, daggers and arrows and darts or guns. With time and due to better means of farming and hunting, it was no longer necesaary to schedule wars and we started having spontaneous wars. It was reported that during Dahomey, Oyo wars if they were still on battle field when rains started Commanders on Gezo side will call for cease fire to allow return to farmlands. When they did not stop they would raid farmlands along the way to sustain supplies.

Biafran war was spontaneous, not well thought out. The cause was legitimate, the implementation was disastrous. The disasters came primarily from two sources - supplies and timing!

Third, in a war certain resources are key to success but here I will mention just one because it keys into your topic. Native help on enemy side! This resource is the make and break of all scopes in security and peace engagements.

The defeat of Yoruba by Fulani was possible because Afonja, himself Yoruba, marched against Oyo with Yoruba Baloguns. The counter-defeat of Fulani by Yoruba was also possible because when Ibadan captured the enemy camps they would set free the Fulanis but slaughter the Yorubas amongst them. They recognized without the Yorubas Fulani was not a match.

Colonel UTUK (Etuk) is a native in the Biafran territory. If he did not lead the front who else should?

So the mention that he led the advance force into territories in Biafra should not be the herald point for his heroism.

None of the Baloguns who led Afonja into Oyo is a hero today, nonetheless no Emir can sit on Ilorin throne without their say so and approval.

Utuk's heroism should come from patriotism and ideology. Bring him into political limelight through his political feats, and no just because he used his knowledge of terrain to assist invasion against his land.

Its a good topic and Colonel Utuk deserve good mention acknowledging his ideology and patriotism.

Fulani vigilante exists in SE already. Enugu has had it for months.

If Kanu was not busy talking about Jubril from Sudan and distracted Ibos away from what is important he and his people would have been aware and prevented miyetti from operating vigilante in the heart of Biafra.

I truly have a lot of information to share and show where and how this fulani vigilante thing started but im concerned Ibos in nairaland will accuse me of talking about SE. Im going to zip it....

Two young men paraded after being nabbed trying to sell an old woman’s stolen goat in Eke market, Anambra.

Something is going on in Anambra. Their poverty is the worst Ive seen. Crime left and right...everyday!

He said: “The Fulani Youth Vigilant body will be working with the security, the neighborhood watch or vigilante to ensure security in all communities, as it was done in Enugu state.

Fulani vigilante had been on ground and part of security force in the capital of Biafra for many months. What the fck is Kanu talking about?

Ngelzerma is only sharing that they will expand the operation in Enugu to cover entire SE. Why are Ibos on internet disturbing us with noise? Where were you when Miyetti Allah was authorized to form vigilante in Enugu?

Amanismone:
Let's start from the north.

North West
:75% Muslims, 25% Christians

North East:

55% Muslims, 45% Christians

North central

75% Christians, 25% Muslims

In southern Nigeria

Southwest

65% Christians, 35% Muslims

Southeast

99% Christians, 0.5% Muslims

South south

95% Christians, 5% Muslims.

You can counter it with proofs

You dont ask for counter to things that lack structure. What is the structure behind your claims, what institution did these numbers come from?

Nigeria has the highest number of seers, prophets in the world and the number continues to increase everyday.

We are the poverty capital of the world, so to show mercy the almighty made sure as our problems grow, more sinners and criminals become prophets overnight.

If the name and location was not there youd think just from picture alone this guy is Yoruba. Do you see the mark on his face? Thats Yoruba mark. This is how criminals in Anambra change identity and pass off as someone else.

Why do women easily surrender thrir lives to pastors and alfas? What are they going to do for you that you cannot do for yourself?
