WE HAVE GIVEN BIAFRANS/IPOBIANS OLOKUN AND YEMOJA SINCE THEY’RE JEWISH IDOL WORSHIPPERS. THE KIND REVENUE LAGOS WILL GET IN FEW YEARS WILL COMPETE WITH NIGERIA NATIONAL REVENUE AND THE WHOLE OF SOUTHWEST WILL BE POSITIVELY IMPACTED.

YOU CAN ADD OLOKUN AND YEMOJA TO YOUR CHILDREN IN IGBOLAND. WEREY

Freak! Lagos generate revenue for who exactly? This is what they feed you. Lagos generates revenue, yet indigenes of Lagos have no voice or authority over Lagos. What is benefit of the revenue generated in Lagos but used to fund projects and scholarship in Sokoto and Zamfara?

Ekabo o. Otojo meta ati abo.

Legend my brother.
I'm very pleased to see you again.

I thought Ndigbo would by now have a solid candidate. I'm dissapointed that 11months to election they are still wanking over Tinubu or no Tinubu, APC or no APC, Biafra or no Biafra.

Igboid,
Listen to what your Ohanaeze said.

https://www.nairaland.com/7049258/south-east-presidential-aspirants-not-assertive#111406839

Igbo sons are not politically assertive. Your role is to endorse, that's the best you can do. Most times even your political endorsements miss the target.

Igboid:
Ogbonnaya Onu has to show interest to contest before Buhari loyalty can be tested.
Moreover, Politics is all about money.
Onu has no money to rival a former governor of a state like Rivers who probably looted and have a healthy stash of funds stored somewhere that could fund a presidential election.
Patry delegates are only swayed by money.


I think Umahi should be Igbo best choice in APC.
He has the money to finance a presidential election.

What interest has Amaechi shown? Infact Amaechi has maintained his disinterest in running. Yet you are doscussing him becoming a consensus candidate.

Transfer the zeal to an Igboman. If it's your turn and you can't step up then Igbo is not man enough to do what others do.

YarAdua had no money when he became President. Goodluck had no money when he was made Vice President.

It's Igbo turn, stop beating others down and front an Igboman. Put your zeal towards an eligible Igboman.

You are naive to think APC will give flag to Umahi. How old is Umahi in APC?

Tinubu has sold Yoruba coast to fulani. They took one fulani out and replaced with another fulani MD. Very soon Yoruba will be forbidden from worshipping Olokun and Yemoja.

Igboid,
Please do me a favor, read this and respond.

Ogbonnaya Onu is an Igboman to the core and has been a very loyal and productive member of CPC, pre-APC days, and remains steadfast with Buhari in APC. He stood with Buhari through series of losses in presidential contests and when others abandoned Buhari's failure to seek glory elsewhere this man stayed put.

What stops Buhari from using consensus to declare Chief Onu his successor?

Stop wasting spit on a bastard Igbo, focus on a true son of the soil and make noise with your people to bring Onu out into eligibility.

Looking at that picture from op, one starts to wonder why a bombed building is still standing upright on its structure. This is a diversion from the traditional warfare that demolishes structures and properties.

I'm thinking Russia has different capacity explosives. The type used in this picture does not demolish, nonetheless it destroys cavities of standing buildings. It would suggest Russia intends to preserve these buildings for rebuild. Why would an enemy preserve assets from the ruins of war?

Is Russia planning a long term strategy to use Ukraine as a buffer territory? This is called between a stone and a hard rock, Ukraine could become the new age East Germany as West and East face off in a new era cold-war.

iwaeda:
ABUJA–PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has blamed the crises in Nigeria on ignorance and lack of proper education, saying the problem can only be addressed through the provision of proper education.

This was as he tasked universities to begin to develop curricula on self-education, saying a shift in focus and orientation of students was very necessary at the moment.

Noting that education “supports all efforts and developments in terms of social, economic, political and religious undertakings”, Buhari, who spoke, Saturday,at the 11th Convocation ceremony of the National Open University of Nigeria,NOUN,held in Abuja, said his,”Administration is committed to making education affordable to all, through the Open and Distance Learning,ODL.

2023: Buhari’s timely intervention has resolved APC crises – Orji Kalu

“In this connection, the National Policy on Education,NPE, had provided for lifelong learning that transcends all barriers through Open and Distance Learning,ODL), the president said in his through his representative and acting Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. David Gende. said his “administration has done and will continue to do a number of things to support the operations of the university by placing priority in the provision of critical human and material infrastructure through annual budgetary allocations and interventions from Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND.

“It is common knowledge that the root cause of most of the recorded crises of nationhood we experience in Nigeria is as a result of ignorance which can only be through the provision of education.

” The University, as the only single-mode, Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institution in Nigeria, was established by the Federal Government of Nigeria to bring equitable access to all eligible Nigerians who are being constrained by the limited space in the Conventional Universities.

“I am extremely happy to note that the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is indeed delivering on its mandate by taking affordable University education to the doorsteps of Nigerians irrespective of their location, tribe, sex, and religion,” the president said.

Açcording to him,”Education as we all know, supports all efforts and developments in terms of social, economic, political and religious undertakings.

” It is common knowledge that the root cause of most of the recorded crises of nationhood we experience in Nigeria is as a result of ignorance which can only be through the provision of education.

“This is why this Administration is committed to making education affordable to all, through the Open and Distance Learning (ODL). In this connection, the National Policy on Education (NPE) had provided for Lifelong Learning that transcends all barriers through Open and Distance Learning (ODL).

“This A)administration has done and will continue to do a number of things to support the operations of the University by placing priority in the provision of critical human and material infrastructure through annual budgetary allocations and interventions from Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND),” he added.

The president said,” It is gratifying to note that the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) continues to record more successes at the national level by expanding access to higher education as well as making it affordable through the establishment of more Study Centres across the country.”

” In this regard, the National Open University of Nigeria has created a niche for itself in both national and global spaces,” he further said.

The president, while noting that,”it is pertinent to restate that the nation’s educational curriculum be geared towards placing emphasis on entrepreneurship education”, said there must be a paradigm shift in the focus and orientation of our graduates towards employment opportunities.”

” The realisation of this objective lies with our universities to develop new curricula that will lay emphasis on self-employment,”he insisted.

But the president said,””It is pleasing to note that the National Universities Commission (NUC) is about to conclude the comprehensive review of the curricula of all programmes in our universities and placing premium on entrepreneurship.”

“This as we all know is a driver to increase productivity and reduction in unemployment figures among our youths.

” The Federal Government through various interventions has created the enabling environment in support of this drive. It is our hope that our graduates will utilise these opportunities by embracing all the various programmes that have been put in place.

“I salute the efforts of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Management and the Governing Council for making sure that Government funds released to the University are judiciously utilised in erecting top-class facilities as exemplified by iconic structures on this campus,”he added.

“I urge you not only to maintain the tempo but to continue to improve on your performance as you pilot the affairs of this great University,” he told the students.

The president congratulated the graduates “who despite all challenges, have endeavoured to put in their very best to attain their dreams of being proud holders of university degrees.”

” I, therefore, charge you as you go into the larger society to be good citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, our Country. In addition, endeavour to utilize the various Federal Government interventions to reduce unemployment,” he added.

On his part,the Vice Chancellor of NOUN,Prof. Olufemi Peters, described the convocation as the unique in many respects,given that it was the first he was presiding over since he took over the mantle of the institution as vice chancellor.

He used the opportunity to request for a speedy appointment of a substantive chancellor for the National Open University of Nigeria,NOUN, following the death of the chancellor-designate, His Royal Highness,Agabaidu Elias Ikoyi Obekpa,Och’ Idoma IV,who was billed to be installed at the occasion if he had not died.

The convocation,he said, did not only hold at the convocation arena but also across the state capitals in Nigeria “and indeed, in all,in all but 48 of the 103 Study Centres of the University.”

” This feature of our convocation brings into prominence the fact that the National Open University of Nigeria is indeed a class of its own. It also underscores the significance of the “gown to town’ credo of the socio-educational development of our people in Nigeria.”

A freaking illiterate supreme cow herder!

We gained independence in 1957. This is 2022.
Compared, we were not half as educated then, yet Nigeria was progressing crisis-free.

In case some are wondering about 1957, Western Nigeria, Eastern Nigeria were self ruling ahead of Nigeria's self rule in 1960.

Bandits took over NDA, took over Nigerian Army Command HQ Jaji. So what is Airport?

They finally told us to form a line. We got on the line. They started beating us, stealing our phones. As I am talking to you, we are still standing outside. Just look at what they are doing to foreign delegates. This is very unacceptable and the government has to know this. I came all the way from Canada and this is what we are getting”.

Awon were!
Come from Canada to be delegate in Nigeria. Have you lost your mind?

You are lucky bandits were not nearby to kidnap you.

These people believe in the deceitful mantra that Nigeria can be redeemed. Very annoying.

onumadu:
It was always obvious to anyone with even half a brain, that the sit at home order must end at some point.

THIS IS THAT POINT!

IT MUST END so that Anambra citizens can breath, be free to create wealth as they are naturally endowed by God.

We stand by our genius new governor to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Majority of Anambra citizens now believe (and with clear evidence) that those enforcing sit at homes in Anambra state ARE NOT from Anambra state! They should (and MUST) leave our villages and forests to return to their own states to continue their reign of anarchy and terror there.

It also seems likely that those enforcing the sit at homes may not even be Biafran agitators, because such strategy defeats the goal entirely! I mean if you conduct a Biafra referendum in Anambra today, it would not get up to 10% support. Who wants to live in a country ruled by irrational emotional illiterates?

It is almost likely that those enforcing the sit at homes are sponsored by anti-Biafran elements.
But that is NOT the point here.
They point is that it must stop regardless of whoever may be sponsoring it!

What annoys us educated Anambra folks is that these people are mostly illiterates.
Has anyone ever seen a rat swallow an elephant before?

How can we surrender our lands and homes to a bunch of asinine illiterates who can never understand the rudiments and intricacies of economic development?

Do they think that the achievements recorded by Anambra citizens are products of brainless emotional actions? How many millionaires have they ever seen that built wealth on emotions? Ask Ibeto or Innoson how HARD it is to set up and run a truly successful business!

Economic development is a very DELIBERATE, DISCIPLINED effort.
99% of people fail at it because of this fact! The 1% rule for a reason!


Wealth can only be created/built through cold calculations, physical efforts, sweat, and discipline.

These people running around in our bushes lack all of these attributes, and that is why they cannot understand the damage they do to our economy by enforcing sit at homes every productive Monday in our state!

Why is the sit at homes most brazen and most enforced in Anambra state than elsewhere in the whole east? Why Anambra state?

More importantly, how many Anambra citizens are taking part in the criminal act of killing innocent citizens who go about to hustle for an honest living?

Our governor has spoken and soon any village or town that cooperates with these cowardly terrorists should be considered accomplices and be dealt with too.

Asi na oburu na agbaghi uzo owelle mgba o dighi echi!

If these terrorists violate the governor’s order after April 4, 2022, the governor should invite the entire Nigerian army (and the rest of us will bring the money to sponsor them) to declare one week sit at home to enable the army COMPLETELY flush out these terrorists from our land once and for all!

If the Nigerian army is not up to the task, the governor should consider inviting mercenaries from anywhere to do this job of freeing the state from agents of chaos, retrogression and anarchy.

Anambra is the LIGHT OF THE NATION. That light MUST BE DEFENDED.

The sit-at-home order is an uncommon but practical reaction to a civic contract that lacks honor, fairness and justice. The advocates of sit-at-home are synonymous to the advocates of civil rights for blacks in America represented militarily by Black Panther.

Black Panther brought the attention of American government to what is possible and what to expect if the peaceful demands of bus boycotts and counter sit-ins are not acknowledged with positive and legally binding changes. Efforts of Black Panther in the background led to acceptance and embrace of Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Whether we admit or not, sit-at-home has made some positive gains and earned respect for the Igbo resolve, which before now had been taken for granted. Nigerian Security has taken note...and learnt the risk of engagement in Igboland.

Governor Soludo can't just outlaw sit-at-home and not acknowledge their grievance and lay out a framework to treat issues of injustice and persecution of Igbos in their own homeland.

It is good to end sit-at-home, but will ordinary Igbo begin to enjoy the fruits of his/her labor without unnecessary harassment and negative profiling in the political and justice system? The challenge is on His Excellency, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to become the homeland hero and bring respect and honor to Igboland.

mymadam:
TWO southerners? This will not fly... yet

You did not pay attention to his drift before you condemned it.

The first key in his post is a treatment of an identified problem, which is, "breaking Northern domination"! It means not expecting support, votes from North and likewise ignore their outcry.

The second key in the post is the solution or remedy for progress of South, "a combo of seasoned technocrats" to lead forward. An expectation of using resources and electorates in South to navigate our progressive economies and societies.

Both keys are achievable, and YES, two Southerners, no one can stop it but South itself. It takes resolve.

Always reflect deeply before condemning inputs.

Is this Tinubu or chairman of miyetti ala?

Where is the hat?

They dropped him at a checkpoint and from there, he was brought home.”

Is anyone reading this? Kidnappers dropped victim at security checkpoint...

Is any of the kidnapper arrested or killed?

Same security that police our communities are the ones behind kidnappings also.

CyynthiaKiss:
Some of us Christian Yorubas are watching this madnesss..

Yoruba Muslims said they won't support yoruba christian presidency, and some of us Christian Yorubas won't also support them as well..
Let them keep waiting for their nothern masters to support them which I don't even see happening sef..

Tinubu and his puppets should be very careful with this religious Politics they are playing because they will surely be consumed by such..

The silence of some of us Christian Yorubas is not an act of cowardice..

Be careful!!

Biafran muslim. Well done o.

tollyboy5:
Just imagine!

Na mod even give you long break lol

Na dem. If say I be covid dem for hear wiehn.

Roniyke1234:
.


Yes. Amaechi was a key player that made Buhari win the APC primary election then. Buhari trust Amaechi

Dude, Amaechi was not a founding member of APC.

Moreover, Amaechi was not instrumental in endorsing Buhari candidacy in Lagos. He funded the campaign using Rivers State money and entered Buhari's inner circle.

tollyboy5:
Boss man you don dey online back.
You're among the knowledgeable people on this forum

The kind lock down mods gave me, covid sef no match am.

maestroferddi:
Buhari might not be so smart and strategic but as the president, he is surrounded by grandmasters in the chessboard of politics.

The biggest mistake Tinubu and his loyalists made was to underestimate a man holding the levers of power.

Bubu was just trying to manage impending crises..

I reposted in case anyone missed it.

mrvitalis:
Yoruba would get 35% in south east ? Ok no problem

Let's assume it's true
With that once north betray you ,you would come distant 3rd hope u know

You claim to be intelligent people but left your presidency hope in the hands of a group as greedy n power hungry as you

When you guys go back to the opposition ...this greed would be used against you for 50 years

When opportunities abound Tinubu failed the test of patriotism in his fatherland. He clutched to service for Arewa. In moments when benevolence was on his side to speak to Yoruba interest he deflected to protect Fulani interest.

Dangote was rewarded full economic control of the sea in Yorubaland. A petrochemical plant in Lekki, and in partnership with BUA (another fulani), commercial monopolies in both Apapa and TinCan ports. Endsars victims were further victimized by Tinubu, zero empathy for their voice or loss. Questioned authenticity of the killers of Pa Fasoranti's daughter. Has never issued a single public comment to condemn kidnapping, raping, killing and forced conversion of farmlands in Yorubaland. Stood on the fence and never came out to give reassurance against Buhari's determination using statutory clause to bully indigenes and steal indigeneous lands for exclusive use of foreigner race.

We shall pay Tinubu back. He failed leadership for us. When repeatedly reminded to stand up for Yoruba he dismissed those calls as unpatriotic elements seeking to divide Nigerians along ethnic lines. He will be dealt a stroke of flogging by the whip of unity in 2023.

Parachoko:
You can keep on deceiving yourself.

Why do you think all this meetings are holding? Is it not to unite the party members?

This Politicians in APC knows they have more to gain with APC wining next year, and they have a lot to lose with APC losing the presidential election next year

If you are an APC member, will you want the party to collapse?

Where you people even get the idea the APC will collapse they always surprise me sef.

People tasting power and have seen how sweet it is, will just wanna throw everything away?

Well, you might just be catching cruise.

You said the party will not break, but turned around to contradict yourself and admit they are holding meetings to unify.

They are ahead of us in the reality of a collapse. By meeting they are reacting to that reality.

Parachoko:
You got it wrong from your number one point.

If number one won't happen, then all the things you list out there can't happen.

Anybody that feels APC will scatter knows nothing about Nigerian Politics.

Buhari is feeding founding members and appealing for their support for successful convention.

Na so convention go in 2014? Or 2018? Why is it threatend to fail now?

In fact, I think people are going to convention "hoping" they would still have a party in coming days. No one is a believer anymore.

helinues:
You see, all this epistle is all about Tinubu without considering the interest of SW, or is it only Tinubu that is viable to represent Yoruba's?

You people should stop attaching too much of emotions to Politics.. We are merely a spectator not the players

It was about Tinubu in 2015. It was about him in 2019. It can be about him in 2023.

The interest of SW is to re-awaken its civilization for progress. We are weeding the land before time to plant!

treamabenh:
Bunch of crooks, it’s always about ambition and not service

Service ke? Thats for youths.

These freaks use gray hair to scale how much to loot. The honorable with most gray on his head is captain of the loot craft.

helinues:
And where would Buhari stands in all this CPC postulation?

He has positioned himself as a mediator. Remember these guys used to run to Lagos to consult Tinubu. When was last time you heard Tinubu waged in to resolve APC differences? Buhari took that away. Now everyone, including Tinubu, must go see sai baba. Not only that, what Buhari says is final.

How did Tinubu declare his interest to run? He said he expressed interest to Buhari and sai baba did not object. What if he had objected, is Tinubu saying he would put the interest aside? It's not hard to decipher the power grab.

Penguin2:
Early morning hallucinations.

APC is might to splinter; but only into two - CPC bloc and ACN bloc.

Yahaya Bello, Ogbonnaya Onu, Amaechi, Rochas,etc, will align with CPC bloc.

CPC cannot give Atiku ticket because by the time CPC is done PDP is done with primaries, CPC would be far gone in its own scheming to bring in a defector as flagbearer.

They need a skilled Chief Looter. Atiku!

They are not chasing power & leadership to improve Nigeria. They want a circle of looters led by a Chief looter.

helinues:
That number 2 is impossible cos the 2 don't share same ideology.

I actually stopped reading from there cos the remainder of the epistle would be full of junks

Ideology in Nigerian politics is only on paper. The excellencies and honorables of Nigeria chase loot.

The quad of Malami/Bagudu/Matawalle/Hadi are very ambitious to challenge Tinubu leadership in APC. They want to take over party leadership before Buhari hands over.

Abdullahi Adamu, Buhari's consensus candidate is from NE. Buni, chairman CEPC is from NE. Atiku is from NE.

They wanted to test run the temperature and see how power will shift after convention. So Buni faked a sick leave and handed over to Sani Bello on excuse he was headed to Dubai for medical treatment, but the freak ended up attending meetings with Buhari & Malami in London. Soon after that dissafection erupted. Now they see clearly who is opposition and what their defenses are. It was a trick, and it paid off.

Atiku has already started hinting where his VP will come from when he talked about the two Obis. He is not waiting on PDP to give him platform, he already has a platform waiting.

Osinbajo, Akeredolu, Fayemi, Sanwo Olu, Tinubu, Akande, none of them is a strong believer in APC of today. A far cry from their attachment and sense of ownership just two years ago.

1. APC splinters into its component parts.
2. CPC brings in Atiku to carry its flag
3. Ogbonnaya Onu is paired with Atiku
4. North and East consolidates behind CPC
5. ACN canvasses for West, Central and SS
6. PDP attempts to woo ACN.
7. CPC uses Amosun to water down support for ACN
8. Buhari releases Nnamdi Kanu
9. CPC approaches Ibori to split Wike support.
10. Yahaya Bello will defect to CPC
11. Kano will return to Shekarau, Ganduje will fail to deliver.
12. ACN returns to opposition government.

johntolu:
I thought Dr. Chris Ngige was a founding member as well.

Yeah he was.

For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Fayemi in response to a question from the audience accusing the President of imposing a Chairman on the party at the forthcoming convention, stated that the President's priority was the unity of the party and he didn't know about the President endorsing any candidate for Chairman. But that if indeed the President has expressed such a view, the President that he knows is a democrat and those who do not share the view may of course contest.

Fayemi is a boy-boy and a political illiterate.

A democrat believes in, and upholds principles of majority voice.

You cannot both be a democrat and an autocrat.

Buhari is an autocrat. His action at unilaterally selecting a candidate and forcing acceptance is preemption of majority voice.

That Fayemi is unable to distinguish autocrat from democrat is embarassing. If he knew the difference and defended it, albeit attempted to sell us boxed stone in place of tv, reveals him as a fraud and scammer.

We are too woke for this nonsense.

NotBeenPaid:

---

Tinubu and Osibanjo can't be your next president because the odds are against them already. You can bank on this.

---

Buhari is hearing whispers from the grapevine, planted by Malami to establish supremacy of CPC in the helm of affairs in APC.

Sai Baba is using this dinner as a psychologic blackmail. He already is aware the convention will result in dissapointments. Camps and factions are already smarting for showdown. The already compromised and biased Buhari wants to preserve himself as a mediator post-convention dissapointment.

Amaechi was not a founding member. He defected from PDP to nPDP and was adopted into an already registered APC.
