Another APC guy writing to justify PMB's incompetence.make I ask please, who should d government arrest in regards to the insurgency in Katsina? I guess op will mention Gen. Gusau.
Come February, Atiku da Obi zamu zaba
Ashiru da Sunday 4 Kaduna state
Justify incompetence? How do you do that, I didn't know you can justify incompetence.... wow! shocked You can explain incompetence and hide incompetence....but justifyhuh

There is no insurgency in Katsina. I doubt you know what insurgency is, in form and substance. You hear its usage and jumped on the bandwagon to throw it out. Insurgency is what was reported in Baga recently. A total stoppage of lifestyles due to non-conventional combat.

Learn to use proper words and sense when you communicate in public forum, particularly when you pick a heat! wink

The President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari must act and get Aliyu Gusau out of circulation if he wants a fair and violence free election next month. There are stockpile of ammos already in this country and these people are ready to go to any length to return to power and expand their military-industry complex to Niger Delta, after selling off NNPC and NPLG. Gregory Copley did not hide his ambition, he said it many times. You also saw him repeat last week, word for word, a script he once played on Jonathan in 2011 and in which he clearly declared other hot points where terror will flash up.

Gregory Copley on his part must be reported to his home country and warned about his interference in our political affairs. His lack of discretion and outward display of love for terrorism could destroy good trade relations. In fact he ought to be sanctioned as a threat to policies in Africa.

Aliyu Gusau, the former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI) according to sources had assured Atiku and core members of the group that once he returned as NSA before the Presidential election proper, he would use the resources and authority of the office to work for the victory of a candidate from the north that would get the group’s nod. President Jonathan however did not fall for the scheme and talks ended with the NPLF.


Having failed again, Gusau has once again taken his campaign abroad where his influential contacts in the United States Jewish community helped pressure the United States Government to nudge then Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to hand him back the NSA job having been sacked by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Below is Gregory Copley working to plant and infiltrate Military- Industry complex sponsors into Jonathan Admin back then. This was back in 2011; compare with Copley attacking our military leaders last week and suggesting Buhari is unable to do the job.

They are preparing Atiku to come in. If Atiku comes in Aliyu Gusau will return. Atiku will hand our defense apparatus and structure to him. There will be more hot zones in Nigeria, Niger Delta will be one of them as Copley already told us in one of the posts above.....and in fact, Atiku also already declared he will sell NNPC. If Delta becomes a hot zone, it will no doubt touch SE. That's reason Peter Obi is secretly picked without any dialogue or negotiation. There 's a calculation into IPOB and Delta. Nnamdi Kanu's escape was facilitated. The guy must not die...because they need him for a future project.

Gusau wants to run for President again in 2015, sources close to him have disclosed, and he has started his campaign very early. A well-orchestrated propaganda campaign in the local media as well as western intelligence and diplomatic communities started as far back as 2011.

The local media campaign had focused on blaming the leadership of the national security community as being unable to manage the security crises that engulfed some northern states in the aftermath of the presidential polls.

A Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis report by Global Information System, ISSA formerly known as Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily, founded in 1972, the March 22, 2011 analysis painted a picture of scary uncertainties that awaits a Jonathan presidency in the north if he doesn’t include aggrieved opponents of his presidential run in his administration.


The report specifically recommended General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, the retired Zamfara State politician as one of the key elements to guarantee a peaceful northern Nigeria.


“The seriousness of Nigeria’s fragility at this point cannot be overstated. Unless Nigeria is able to begin the healing after more than a year of Abuja infighting for power, then civil unrest could become profound national breakdown. One longtime British professional observer noted privately: “There are similarities between Nigeria’s condition today and its condition just before the outbreak of the Biafra civil war in 1967.”


“Dr Jonathan’s ambition — and that of his wife — drove him to override all objections to sustain his bid for the Presidency, but he will need to turn to at least one powerful and truly nationally-conscious figure to rebuild the Presidency and the country. It is a man he mistreated, but now cannot do without. And if he attempts to do without him now, Nigeria will continue with its protests, its anarchy in the Niger Delta ener¬gy states, and its debilitating inefficiencies due to its skewed and corrupt political structure.


“The triumph of Pres. Jonathan spurred predictable protests, but the outcome of the election was always likely to have been for the candidate of the PDP — this time Pres. Jonathan — provided the party itself remained intact as the only truly national party in Nigeria.

“Moreover, when the opposition to Jonathan coalesced loosely around former military head-of-state (December 31, 1983 – August 27, 1985), Maj.-Gen. (rtd.) Muhammadu Buhari, 68, of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the situation was never in doubt. Buhari had appeal only in three Northern Nigerian states, and even there he is seen as abrasive and dictatorial.

“One question which should be asked is why the PDP did not fracture when Jonathan violated his own party’s rules to stand for the Presidency at a time when the Party dictated that it was the turn of a Northern candidate to stand.

“It did not fracture because one of the founders of the PDP, and a man who had himself positioned himself for the Presidency, Lt.-Gen. (rtd.) Alivu Mohammed, decided that it was more important to preserve the party over his own personal ambitions.

“And it is former National Security Advisor and one time Chief of Army Staff Aliyu Mohammed — often referred to as Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, because he was born in Gusau — who must make the PDP and the Nigerian system work again.

“After the Armed Forces, the most significant truly national entity in Nigeria is the PDP. Even the Federal Civil Service is heavily skewed through its domination by Yoruba people and is only “national” by virtue of its geographic spread and its domination of the bureaucracy in the Federal capital, Abuja.
Go to link and read the rest yourself. Aliyu Gusau and Gregory Copley are two motherfckrs behind bokoharam. They plan a comeback with Atiku to expand their terror zones to Delta. Copley keeps saying that in every article where he mentioned bokoharam. Atiku has negotigated a dealto made President in exchange for NNPC privatization.

Gusau is behind fulani herdsmen weapon supply by himself.

Senator Makarfi, Now PDP Caretaker Chairman Said Aliyu Gusau, Atiku Abubakar, Izala Sect Plotted 2002 Miss World, Sharia Deadly Riots In Kaduna
As Many As 5000 Were Killed In The Violence That Year
Says Riots Are Staged From The Night Before When Agents Drop Tires At Strategic Locations To Be Burned The Next Day
Says Then VP Atiku and NSA Aliyu Gusau Sponsored The Violence Using Islamist Groups Like Izala (Saudi-financed), With Aim To Embarrass Obasanjo
Says Arrested Suspects Said They Were Paid To Burn ThisDay Office
Make sure you follow the second link and read the whole article on this quote.

When we think of the terror that evolved and reached full capacity during Obasanjo’s tenure, the single person to blame—apart from the President—who was in charge of our national security was of course our NSA, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau. MEND acquired arms under his wonderful watch and reigned limitless terror in the Niger Delta while Aliyu Mohammed Gusau was NSA. That is ‘commendable.’
Likewise, Boko Haram, north eastern maniacal terrorists created camps, gathered arms and unleashed terror while Gusau was our ‘great’ head of national security. Then called Taliban, when President Obasanjo asked about these boys in the north, on September 14, 2011 reported that Aliyu Mohammed “told Obasanjo that no such group existed in the country.”
With Yar’Adua taking over, Gusau was dumped and replaced with Major Gen. Sarki Mukhtar. A great army general known for his antagonism of late Sani Abacha. The difference was clear. Under Major Gen. Sarki Mukhtar, Boko Haram was swiftly and surely decimated with no mercy and empathy. Over 700 terrorists were slaughtered and even the leader, Mohammed Yusuf was ‘accidentally,’ terminated while ‘he tried to escape.’ But not only was the right approach used to deal with Boko Haram, but the other terror threat of the Niger Delta was also addressed appropriately in consideration of the peculiarities it held. An amnesty was appropriate and Major Gen. Sarki Mukhtar and Yar’Adua established this to curb terror in the creeks.
Nigeria for once saw what a sensible and patriotic, none terror facilitating administration was like. There was a chance for safe growth with security.
With the unfortunate demise of President Yar’Adua, which some say may have been speeded up with poisoning, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau was again returned as the NSA by Obasanjo’s brain-child, President Jonathan. It appeared there was no one who could secure the nation as NSA better than the one person who never secured it while he was NSA before.
Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, Babangida’s right-hand man, under whose watch, all types of ammunition were imported into the country and made available to terrorists; who has also been fingered in the recent cache of arms discovered in Kano in the hands of so-called Hezbollah agents, as reported by the NigerianPilot. Think- importation of arms in containers, allowed by the top level national security office.
With Gusau back, once again, Boko Haram terror continued seemingly unabated. Bombings occurred and not a single culprit and sponsor was arrested. Boko Haram seemed simply impossible to contain.
Now, there is another story in Aliyu Mohammed Gusau’s resume. He wants to be president of Nigeria by all and any means necessary. Aliyu Mohammed Gusau is a die-hard to occupy the top position. He apparently was at that table where Babangida, Obasanjo and Abacha sat and placed bets that they each must rule and ruin Nigeria.
Googling keywords, ‘Gusau’ and ‘WikiLeaks reports,’ the internet is awash with sickening tales of how Aliyu Mohammed Gusau kept running to US ambassadors in Nigeria to discuss his odds at becoming the next President and report on all Nigeria’s top security issues. Gusau, Nigeria’s top security man was an open cannon, delving all top level intel to the US according to tons of WikiLeaks cables exposed by Julian Assange.

Gregory Copley - Head of a front that calls itself Think Tank, but really a huge financier of military-industry complex.

He had this to say few days ago....

Excerpts from the report states as follows, “The conflict will almost certainly prove the undoing of the present government of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 16, 2019, presidential elections.

The report further stated, “No significant economic or political progress can be achieved in Nigeria until the issue of the Boko Haram insurgency is resolved. Other insurgencies are also expected to emerge, or re-emerge, particularly in the Niger Delta.
No kidding!



He went further....

The report stated that the death of a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal (rtd.) Alex Sabundu Badeh (who became Chief of Defence Staff), and that of a former Chief of Administration of the Nigerian Army, Major General Idris Alkali, on September 3, 2018 were not a mere coincidence .
Of course it is not. Read this, Jonathan begging Gusau....

President Goodluck Jonathan has continued sending emissaries to help him convince his newly appointed Minister of Defence, Aliyu Gusau, to rescind his resignation. The Minister was barely one week old on the job when he resigned today following an ominous blowout with the country’s military chiefs.

However, SaharaReporters had spoken earlier with the Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musikilu Obanikoro, who confirmed there was a disagreement between the new Minister and the military top brass.
Here is an expose of collusion between Gregory Copley and Aliyu Gusau to fund and expand terror in Nigeria for personal gains. Read what Gusau says about framework and root cause of the terror in NE Nigeria. This is the man that introduced the phrase that bokoharam is an attraction for mercenaries from elsewhere. Listen to a onetime Defense Minister and two times NSA speak helplessly and with resignation that there is nothing he can do because this is a trend. grin Gusau started the narrative of Libyans and ISWA and Al Shabbab coming to Nigeria to fight. He gave three presentations and popularized the idea.

General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, two time National Security Adviser as well as a former Minister of Defence of Nigeria has thrown into question the Islamicist claims of Boko Haram, saying that it is a secondary consequence of Cold War and post Cold War conflicts in Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and Libya, leading up to export of terrorism, insurgency and crime in other parts of Africa. Gusau is categorically asserting that Boko Haram in north eastern Nigeria draws sustenance from the safe haven of radical groups in Somalia and Sudan in addition to unfolding instability in Libya which he attributed to “ill-conceived intervention by the major powers in the Libyan political crisis triggered by the Constitutionalists in Cyrenaica protesting Muammar Qadhafi in 2011. But Libya has, in his view, added the factor of a conduit for what he called movement of radical fighters and weapons into West Africa.
Who sponsored this publication? You damn right...Gregory Copley!
In what seems his most explicit intervention in the discourse of Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria, Gusau said in a book chapter titled “Controlling Crises in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea” that current challenges manifesting in the Boko Haram insurgency, for instance, have their origin in conflicts, rivalries and ideologies of Cold War competition or post Cold War vacuum and the revival of great power competition. The book published earlier in the year in the US for the triad of The International Strategic Studies Association in Washington DC; The Gusau Institute in Kaduna, Nigeria and The Water Initiative for Africa based in the United States recently became available in Nigeria. It is also downloadable for free.

Politics › If He Hadn't Already, Buhari Should Put Surveillance On Aliyu Gusau Immediately! by MetaPhysical(op): 4:07am On Jan 03, 2019
Rtd Gen. Aliyu Gusau had always worked with the foreign Military-Industry Complex and had his hands in terror in different hot spots in the North. He is from Guau, a village in Zamfara, the new hot bed of rising terror.

Terror is a very lucrative business around the globe and those who supply manpower and resources for it are well rewarded. In fact, terror and military expansion go hand in hand, hence you will also find that those who foreign governments rely upon for peaceful negotiations are the same warlords and sponsors behind the violence. Sponsorship of terror is a quick and fast way to go from a nobody at zero level to world prominence in just one atrocity of bloodshed captured for the world to see. Hence, media is also a party in it.

There is so much to cover and say in the link between Aliyu Gusau and terrorism that I believe I should just present resources and graphics for readers to form their own individual frame of mind for who Gusau is.

My own reason for asking for his surveillance, and possible arrest and imprisonment, is because of a recent but not new show of interference from Gusau's partner in US, Gregory Copley. Copley is trying again, as he once did to Jonathan, to interfere in the defense structure to propagate a fresh round of stealing and embezzlement. Gusau has his hands in the upsurge in Zamfara terror. He has always been involved and in connection with bokoharam leadership.


Aliyu Gusau is the one steering PDP, not Uche Secondus. In fact, Aliyu Gusau is behind Atiku picking Peter Obi. It's a calculation. You all have heard of Atiku repeatedly speaking about restructuring, but has anyone wondered when Atiku became a voice for restructuring? I will leave that for another day.

Recent surges in boko attacks, zamfara, the appearance of strange herders in Sokoto, fulani herdsmen access to stream of supply of ak47....these are all hot spots and agenda for political and creation of a localized military-industry complex in Nigeria. Buhari is a roadblock to that agenda. If they succeed in removing him Aliyu Gusau will run our defense department from the convenience of his bedroom. The oil in Delta will have new owners and NDDC and Amnesty will be a thing of the past because the resource and its institutions will be taken from Govt and sold to private hands.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari and anyone else accusing him of being corrupt to report him to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.


The former Vice President said this while dismissing corruption allegations levelled against him.

Atiku challenged those that have accused him of corruption to make their case known before the anti-graft agency.


The former VP said this in an interview with the Voice of America’s correspondent, Aliyu Mustapha.

Atiku said, “I have challenged everybody publicly or otherwise, that if you have any evidence of corruption against me while I was in public office or as a politician, feel free to go to EFCC or the court, but nobody has come.”

Atiku further explained that stronger laws and processes are needed to try those accused of corruption.
A truly un-Presidential, un-patriotic manner of talking, and show of disdain for the law. Thugs dare the law to come and catch them...not an Ex-VP who should be regarded as friend of the law. grin

Who was questioning their right to freely campaign? What does questioning the ethics of Federal Executive elected and appointed officials invoking crude, parochial interests have to do with "rights"? Who was questioning their rights to campaign?
Federal Executives are not barred from expressing personal opinions whether on official assignments or not, but there is a thin line and it doesn't take much to cross the line, hence the guideline is always to exercise discretion and restraint. They have sworn to an oath of service and whatever a government official says is usually not retractable with a disclaimer, it sticks. It is best t o study infractions on a individual case basis.

On this particular instance The VP was on Party assignment. He was in Oyo to secure endorsements for the Party candidate. They had a stop over in Alaafin's Palace. The environment at that point has changed from public official to cultural subject. The Alaafin is a political stool. When you take a political request to Alaafin for endorsement you have to attach cultural tangibles and explain the "what's in it for Yoruba".

VP told Alaafin what Yoruba will benefit in 2023 by taking a course of action in 2019. This is perfectly normal.

If VP had denigrated or spoke of any people in illwill then we can say he stepped over the line. His statement is all in interest of bargaining with Alaafin for endorsement of the Oyo candidate and securing a political continuance for Yoruba.

Politics › Okorie Blows His Top! OBJ Told Me Igbo Can’t Be President For 150 Yrs by MetaPhysical(op):
Chief Chekwas Okorie is the National Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP); in this exclusive interview with ADOYI M. ABA and PATRICK ANDREW, he speaks on why the party has decided to go with President Muhammadu Buhari in his re-election bid. He also talks on the position of the Igbo in the country’s political re-alignments as next year’s general elections draw near.



Endorsement of Buhari

A few things informed our endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for second term. We didn’t just wake up overnight to take that decision. The party had been invited to a number of meetings for the purposes of coalitions, including the one spearheaded by the PDP and Balarabe Musa’s PRP, among others. We sent delegations to attend the meetings and send their reports. When the NEC of the party met on the 17th of August, we took a look at the reports and decided that we had not seen what people where looking for in regards to Coalition even as we decided not to field a presidential candidate in 2019. The National Executive Committee mandated the National Working Committee to continue exploring the possibility of a more acceptable Coalition partner that we think will be in the best interest of Nigeria. A number of things pointed in the direction of President Buhari. One is that he is going to serve out his second term in 2023.


Rotation pact

Before now, there had been a rotational agreement that is not in the Constitution of this country, but has become a Convention. From President Obasanjo in the South, it went to Yar’Adua in the North, came to Jonathan in the South and back to Buhari in the North. Following that convention, the PDP, immediately after losing the 2015 elections, met and zoned the presidential candidate to the North for 2019, almost four years in advance of the elections, thereby giving more credence to this conventional rotation.

In our own party, that is more inclined to the person coming from the South-east, we said that we will be swimming against the tide if we produce a presidential candidate. Since it won’t be long before it will come to the South, we decided to use the time to build necessary bridges, consolidate our structures and be ready to weigh in again in 2023. Supporting Buhari’s second tenure is the shortest, surest cut to that participation in the presidential race after his second term.


Anti-graft fight

Second consideration is that he has shown single-mindedness in fighting corruption, which is the bane of Nigeria’s society. Those who accuse him of being partial are just being mischievous and propagating propaganda that cannot be supported by logic. Our people say that the river cannot drown those whose feet it has not found. You don’t expect me, Chekwas Okorie, to balance the 16 years mismanagement of the PDP.

Corruption issue is not something that can expire overtime. Somebody has to start somewhere. If you think they are those that have not been arrested, wait until he is through and you can continue from what he has done. That’s why we decided that Buhari should be encouraged.

I also looked at the South-east where PDP has done so much damage to the political psyche of the Igbo people since 1999. No political party in recent history has shown so much hatred for Ndigbo more than the PDP. Unfortunately, this is an aspect that has never been highlighted.

It was the PDP that deceived the entire Igbo people and husbanded by the military. All the military generals, apart from Buhari, were the original founding members of the PDP. They established an unwritten policy that no Igbo man will become the president of Nigeria until 150 years. Obasanjo said me that pointedly; it is not a rumour or hearsay, but something I can defend anytime. I have said it many times and he never debunked it because he invited me to say it after the 2003 elections.

The PDP then came up with the policy that the president will come from the South, but any presidential aspirant that failed to deliver his geopolitical zone will not be eligible to contest, so the Igbo people went all out to deliver the zone for Dr Alex Ekwueme. This was after giving him the impression that they will bring him in as a compensation for the loyalty he showed to Shaghari.

The Igbo people delivered 100 per cent of the whole five states, state assembly to PDP…they made sure that the election took place before national assembly and presidential election primaries. So, when they had their convention in Jos, the governors and state assembly people went there as governors elect and house of assembly elect.

At that point the Igbo people had been soaked into the PDP, they set aside that policy, knowing that the AD had cornered the whole of the South-west and their preferred candidate was one of their own, Obasanjo couldn’t deliver his zone.

Having set the zoning aside, they proceeded to deliver Obasanjo. I have never seen such political 419 and mass deceit of an entire race as perpetrated by the PDP against the Igbo. We thought it would stop there, but look at the 16 years of the PDP. I challenged one of the governors I spoke with who was worried that I led the movement to support Buhari to name for me any project completed by the PDP in the South-east in 16 years. Even if it is a pure water factory owned by private individuals, at least people should be working there, but as little as a kilometre road was started and abandoned. The South-east became a place of abandoned road construction sites.

But, in spite of the statistics proving that we gave him five percent, Buhari did not sack the PDP contractors, but he funded them to return to site and these very high quality projects are going on. The second Niger Bridge that was awarded by the PDP under public private partnership at astronomical figures was cancelled and awarded it by the direct funding of government, so that the toll gate that would have been mounted there for several donkey years to recover the money will be the usual toll gate in other places. Coming to the democratic practice itself, he has never interfered in any election anywhere, but it was the PDP that will return results with 100 per cent of unregistered voters voting for them. All these things have not been happening; so we decided to support Buhari to continue.


Peter Obi and emancipation of Igbo race
This is also the mass deceit of my people that has taken place over time. Late Dora Akunyili came up one day and nicknamed Jonathan Azikiwe. By that nickname, our people were politically sedated as we accepted Jonathan as our son. That held them down for that period and nobody saw anything wrong with PDP again. Here we are and there are throwing up the issue of Peter Obi. I am happy with Peter Obi for having been appointed the Vice Presidential candidate to Atiku Abubakar. He will bring tremendous value to Atiku’s ticket.

But whether that value will erase Atiku’s moral and political baggage is yet to be seen. We have had a vice-president in Dr Alex Ekwueme, who was by every standard better than Peter Obi in academic qualifications and every other thing, and we know not much came out of being vice-president in terms of physical developments. Even at that, we can ascribe one major project that happened under Shaghari and that was the Enugu – Port Harcourt, Enugu – Onitsha expressway, which PDP destroyed. They allowed it to rot, but it is now being built by the Buhari administration.

Atiku complained severally that he was a mere spare tyre under Obasanjo as vice- president and he is aware that he has just recruitedanother spare tyre. So, why should we be excited about that? If we want to be excited about anything, Oby Ezekwesili is our daughter and she is contesting and has all the qualifications. Kingsley Moghalu is also contesting and they are both eminent Igbo son and daughter. Nobody is giving them any chance. The propaganda is towards promoting a running mate.

But our people are beginning to see the other side of the argument. That is the role I am playing. Whatever I am doing now is what Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe did in the first republic, when he led the NCNC into a Coalition with the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC).

In the second republic, he did the same. He led the NPP into a Coalition with NPN. At that time, the Late Chief Ume Ezuoke became speaker and Dr Alex Ekwueme became VP. Igbo people have never had that combination again. Our people are not cut out for opposition. I am the longest standing Igbo in opposition. Nobody has matched me in that area of opposition. I can tell you authoritatively that it is a lonely road.


State police, community-policing

It is not everything the president has done that we have given a pass mark. He is a human being. Even if you go to Google, you will find out that i am one of those against the lopsidedness of his appointments, especially with regards to the exclusion of my people in the National Security Council. I also opposed the lukewarm attitude of the governors over the issue of herdsmen. The issue of restructuring, which includes the state police; note that the vice-president has several times shown his interest in the issue of state police.

If the police are such an avid hater of the state police, he would have asked him to resign. Generality of Nigerians are inclined to the issue of restructuring, so the APC set up a committee led by Malam el-Rufai and they went round Nigeria and came up with recommendations. I have seen the recommendation in a booklet form. It is very extensive and if implemented is close to what we are looking for in terms of restructuring. They have handed it over to the party and I think NEC has accepted it. As a party administrator, I think all that is required is to present it to party convention for adoption.

So, it will now become part of the manifesto and social contract. When you blame the president for not showing interest in restructuring, what about the national assembly? It is the duty of the national assembly to make necessary amendments and present to the president and if he fails to assent to it, they can veto it. So, it is not a one man show. There is a conspiracy of the national assembly which includes the PDP senators, especially the Senate president that is now back in the PDP; so I wouldn’t like it to be shifted to just Mr. President. He is not the one to give fiat on the matter.


South-East Governors

The truth is that no vice president has ever become president. Anybody thinking that becoming a vice president will automatically translate to becoming a president may be referring to another country, not Nigeria. Even when Jonathan eventually became president, he was an executive president; we went into the election as an incumbent for two years. Once you have that in mind, you may want to think about stretching your luck or optimism so far. We are looking at eight years and don’t forget that PDP has never made any commitment to Ndigbo since 1999.

In 2015, they didn’t hesitate to zone to the North; so, why can’t they now say they have zoned to the South-east in 2027? They are afraid to make commitment because they made the decision that no Igbo man will become president until 150 years. That is the original policy of the PDP. If people don’t know, let me say it again that president Obasanjo called me into his study in April 2003 and we discussed so many issues. One of the ones that I took away with a heavy heart was when he told me that Nigeria is a very tolerant country for allowing someone from an area that wanted to break away to become vice president barely nine years after the war.


Should anything had happened to Shehu Shagari, Alex Ekwueme would have become president and that it could not happen in other countries. Now, look at me, Chief Okorie, you went and brought someone who led the secessionist programme to become the presidential candidate with all entreaties – by doing that, you have committed a political sin. The moment you did that, your party APGA became a national security issue.

So, every problem in APGA emanated from that very discussion. Then he asked me this rhetorical question: do you know that it took 150 years before somebody from southern part of America became the president of America after the American civil war. I said yes, the person is Jimmy Carter and he is still alive. He said okay, you are conversant with your history; so you should be able to know where your people belong.

This was Obasanjo and he was talking about the script of the PDP and our people don’t see it. So, if I am alive and know what I know and allow myself die and be buried with it, even God will not accept me in Paradise.


Have you divulged this information to your people at any forum?

I have done town hall meetings in many parts of the country. There is hardly any Igbo Congress I have not presented a paper – in America, Europe and other parts of the world. That is why they feel the only one they have standing is now going the other way. But many of them are seeing that it is in their best interest. It is too late in the day for me to go against my people. I have fought the Igbo cause for 42 good years since Ohaneze was founded. I was there from the very beginning.

Only four original founders or foundation members of Ohaneze are alive today. They are Chief Uwazurike amechi in his 80s, elder Onyeso Nwachukwu, 95 years old, Anayo Ezukpe, a medical doctor, in his 80s. I am in my 60s because I joined at a young age. I was the one running the errands. I have been a member of the elders’ council or Imeobi of Ohaneze from the inception of that Council. Till today, that is the policy-making body of Ohaneze. There is no way they can decide anything and I will not know about it.


APC in Imo

To deepen APC in the South-east is not my business at all. My business is that UPP should build bridges all over the country. We are even struggling for space to care about what happens to APC in Igbo land.


UPP in Anambra election

Our candidates are excited, without a single exception, with the collaboration with Buhari. Many of them now design their posters to include the president with our party logo. I wouldn’t say we have many candidates across the country as we didn’t want to spread across the country. We know areas we can win election and will consolidate from there. What happened in Anambra is one of the things that the Independent National electoral Commission (INEC) is trying to resolve now.

The issue of vote-buying reached its highest point in Anambra and they called it after the election a bazaar. In a bazaar situation, nobody will say he didn’t spend money to influence voters, but the highest bidder in a bazaar will win. The 21 local governments in Anambra were won by APGA.

Nostradamus:
an example of aura is if you see a man and you said 'I love that man, he has the aura of a gentleman'. Or if they accuse someone of having the aura of a tout.

Some people also call it vibe. It's an English word.i don't know the Yoruba interpretation,i know I will get the answer here.
So in conclusion you need to have the person in view in order to see and remark on the aura? If a person was out of view is their aura perceivable?

cooltola:
Because Lagos was the capital of Nigeria which has attracted many tribes to live in this lively city. It is only fair that an reasonable, honest Igbo man or woman should be given to opportunities to rule. Igbos have contributed greatly to Lagos and Lagos state is not going forward with all these Yoruba governors, a city that cannot boast at least 15 hours of electricity is a far cry from the being a top African city talk less of a world class city. Lagos traffic is one of the worst in the world. It is time to give another tribe a chance if that is what to take to move Lagos forward.
True it is fair to do that. Since when have you known any political bloc to do fairness to its own people, not to talk about people that do not belong to the bloc?

Igbo has become a political commodity traded around by desperate office seekers. Imagine the fury in Ibadan if we turn the table around and this kind of promise was made to Yorubas living in East or in North. It is now the norm to patronize the Igbo cheaply and still not deliver on whatever was promised.

Here is Ambode in words in 2014.

“I am one of you and I assure you that the next 4 years will be a continuation of the prosperity you have enjoyed in the past 16 years. What Lagos asks is your cooperation to remain in a prosperous mode, and I am grateful that you have given it”, said a clearly elated Ambode. He added that his government will not discriminate as it is poised to deliver excellence to all Lagos residents irrespective of ethnicity.
Here is Ambode in action in 2016.

Following the demolition of Oshodi market, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state has been declared the number one enemy of Ndigbo by the apex socio-Igbo cultural organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Oshodi market which is believed to be largely occupied by Igbos was destroyed on the first week of the New Year. Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the national president of the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) made the declaration alongside Okwu Nnabuike, the national secretary on Monday, January 11, at a press briefing in Enugu, Daily Post reports. Isiguzoro said Ambode had drawn a battle line between himself and the entire Igbo land by his actions.
Leave Igbo people alone to their own destiny and stop kicking them up and down promising this and that to get in office. Igbo people sef by now should have gained plenty sense and wisdom. What are you doing in almost 2020 still believing these lies? Even if Lagos promises these things to you, do you think Ibadan politicians or Oba of Lagos will watch and allow you to rule Lagos? Just think about that for a moment. Lagos may be its own independent state but the Yoruba Agenda continues to be spun from Ibadan and Lagos is a prominent stakeholder in that Agenda.

Ambode even dress in Igbo attire, just like Sanwoolu is doing now.

I agree with what macof said in previous page, I believe too that this thread has departed from discussion on Yoruba and entered fully into cultism. I believe it died when Olu and Obalufon spent over 10pages bck and forth on personal beef, and I thought we could resuscitate it but it doesn't appear so judging from this new descent into rubbish. Cheers guys, it's been nice exchanging information and knowledge. grin

Olu,
Have you told them about the meaning of "Aburo"? grin

Where is Metaphysical aand Absolutesuccess? Macof has chased everyone away with his yeye pseudo-proofs. Proof this, proof that....proof that the breast on woman chest produces milk. Upon all that he is yet to proof that Obalufon is an aborigene of Ife. Yeye. grin

Aburo (younger sibling) is an ancient Yoruba word that had its root in their customs back when the ancestors were in Canaan. This custom was mentioned in Bible, but the interpreters screwed up the tradition in their record.

Ab-Uro
Father - Head
Father blesses head.

grin grin


When Isaac placed hand on his young son he conferred on him the rights of the first born, AKOBI.

It is from here that child took the name JACOB.


The custom lived with us since ancient times.


What Jews and their record keepers will hide from you, me and Olu will bring to you. As he show it from Egypt side me I go show am from Mecca side. Allahu Akbar. grin


Yoruba is the most Superior race on earth!

I am reading what you post, you have very good points and positioning but I get a kick from your style of presentation, I can't stop laughing at your jest and taunt. I am interested in three points you raised. Please emphasize on the Aburo and Akobi. Share more. Also, when you say Elu is Blue, how did it become so? Elu is the tree leaf our Ancestors use to manufacture indigo. Is it not?
