By Emma Amaize WARRI—AN Ijaw group, the Ijaw People’s Development Initiative, IPDI, in Delta State, weekend, called on President Godluck Jonathan to grant presidential pardon to the former governor of the state, Chief James Ibori, before his exit from Aso Villa, next month. National President the group, Mr. Austin Ozobo, in interactive with newsmen, said: “Chief Ibori has suffered enough and there is no justification for not granting him clemency, as had been done to others. ” Ozobo said Ibori was not the only corrupt leader in the country, but unfortunately, he has undergone indescribable hardship more than others. “Ibori should be freed. Hundreds of persons, who looted heavily from government coffers are walking freely in the streets. The continuous incarceration of one corrupt man among a million other corrupt citizens cannot change the menace of high level corruption in the country. ‘’Ibori’s imprisonment could be seen as a witch-hunt and such is highly barbaric and provocative and the Nigerian government must quickly do something about his matter. ‘’Despite the ordeals Ibori is passing through, Deltans hold him in high esteem and his great achievements while in office cannot be discountenanceded. ‘’There should be no sacred cow among political office holders. Ibori’s case is not different, he is a victim of circumstances. Release him and let him breathe fresh air and let other corrupt public office holders be tried as well.” SOURCE: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/grant-presidential-pardon-to-ibori-ijaw-group-urges-jonathan/#sthash.0d61rS8k.dpuf |

Whenever i remembered the death of your second in command during your military rule i feel sorrow; it was a painful death. The cause of his death is widely known. We do not want you to die or short live. My president, his Excellency Dr Goodluck E.

This is in fact one of the beautiful things he did not only for Nigeria but also for Africa and the world at large. I am hundred percent sure that he can not mean any harm to you. But what about the people that are not happy about your victory at the poll. They can do and undo using any social gathering to carry out their evil.

By Perez Brisibe UGHELLI – THE series of killings rocking Ughelli metropolises, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, took a different dimension on Thursday night when gunmen suspected to be assassins killed in cold blood, the Ughelli branch chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, Barr Austin Icheghe. The incident it was gathered happened around 9pm at the 14 Ekredjebor residence of the victim in the presence of his immediate family. When Vanguard visited the Icheghe residence on Friday, the pool of blood of the victim was still on the ground with sympathizers and family members thronging the residence to mourn with the family. Speaking to Vanguard, a niece of the deceased, Egunor Uviesa said her uncle was shot in front of his apartment while alighting from his vehicle at the close of work. She said: “As soon as he came down from his vehicle, they accosted him, and shot him on the head with the bullet damaging part of his face. He was immediately rushed to a private clinic here in Ughelli were he was confirmed dead.” Meanwhile, the Executive Director, Center for the Vulnerable and the Underprivileged, CENTREP, Barr Oghenejabor Ikimi while condemning the incident, described it as barbaric and wondered why anyone would want to sentence a lawyer to death. Reacting to the incident, Ikimi said: “The killing of the NBA chairman brings to mind the incessant killings in Ughelli which is on the increase in recent times. We are tired of cases of unresolved murders and assassinations nationwide. “A year ago, two lawyers in the State were murdered by unknown gunmen on their way to court and the police are yet to arrest the culprits till date. We are calling on the State Commission of Police and his men to wake up and checkmate these killings because we are tired of these killings.” SOURCE: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/gunmen-kill-nba-chairman-in-ughelli/#sthash.2bh6fgiY.dpuf |
[size=18pt] IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO BAN THESE TWO TRIBES FROM NAIRALAND? SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN INTELLIGENTLY ADDRESS ISSUES AND OFFER SOLUTIONS [/size] |
My guy and I have been together for the past 10 years. We have been living together but we are not married and my family is kicking. I have always felt like we had a pretty good relationship and although I am away for work quite often, I have never felt tempted to stray. But last year, I met another guy at a conference and we clicked well and ended up talking for hours. However, one thing led to another and things happened that I never intended to happen. It’s not really a big deal but I’m actually dying inside over the guilt I have now. I haven’t seen the guy again but I am struggling because on one hand, I want to tell my partner but on the other, I feel like it will hurt him so much. I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do. |
The President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, said on Friday that xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals were on the increase. Anyene told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on phone from Pretoria, South Africa, that the mechanic workshop of a Nigerian was completely destroyed early on Friday in Johannesburg. ‘’ In the early hours of today (Friday),the mechanic workshop of a Nigerian, with 10 cars and all the tools inside, was destroyed by some South Africans. ‘’ The build up to the attack started last night when the South Africans started gathering in the neighbourhood of the Nigerian. ‘’The Nigerians living there did not sleep and early today, the South African struck,’’ he said. Anyene said when the South African police intervened, the attackers dared them and opened fire. He said though the police chased them away, the attackers re-grouped and still carried out the act. ‘’ The attacks are spreading and Nigerians do not sleep again. They keep vigil to ensure that they are not taken unawares. ‘’ There is tension everywhere. Nigerians have closed their shops for fear of being attacked,’’ he said. Anyene urged the Federal Government to engage the South African authorities in dialogue with a view to halting the attacks immediately. ‘’ South Africa has lots of businesses in Nigeria and they are doing well. Also, South Africans live in Nigeria and it is on record that Nigerians have never carried out xenophobic attacks on fellow Africans,” he said. He said though the South African government had been responding to the attacks, it was not enough because more foreigners were being attacked every day. Anyene added: ‘’ Though no Nigerian has been killed, it may get to that because we have had close shaves with death. ‘’ The real truth is that Nigerians have lost so much in their businesses to the attacks. The time has come for the Nigerian government to make a categorical statement on these attacks. ‘’ We are not happy with what is happening and something urgent must be done to stop these attacks.

The present balance of political equation beckons on true Igbo patriots to stand firm and hold the bull of politics by its horn of emerging political challenges. The greatest political disaster the Igbo will attract on themselves is for the crop of her political leaders to aimlessly drift to the soon to emerge ruling APC in the name of being afraid to be in opposition. What is most important for the present political terrain is for both the South East and South-South to further cement the political gains of common solidarity for Jonathan by building a strong force of opposition.[size=18pt] I THINK BUILDING A STRONG FORCE OF OPPOSITION THAT ONLY COMPRISED SE AND SS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO DO THE MAGIC. THE OPPOSITION FORMED SHOULD BE ABLE TO PENETRATE THE NORTH AND SW AS WELL. THEY SHOULD BEAR IT IN MIND THAT POLITICS IS A GAME OF NUMBER [/size] |
THE 1967-70 Nigeria Civil War, for the Igbo was a battle of historic survival against the forces of national darkness that roamed in the form of periodic unrestrained anti-Igbo riots and massacres, and subsequently the chilling pogrom of 1969. It was not only a battle for survival but for the upholding of the Igbo man’s dignity, which, as previously feared got swallowed up by the events of the civil war. Those who supported Biafra did so not because of the capability of the Igbo to win the war against the World Powers-supported Federal might but for the case of conscience. The likes of Presidents Houphouet-Boigny of Cote d’Voire, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Omar Bongo of Gabon, Papa Doc of Haiti and to some extent Siaka Stevens of Sierra Leone, Jomo Kenyata of Kenya, William Tolbert of Liberia, and the French Government of the time did so out of conscience against the forces of darkness that ruled Nigeria at that time. This explains why, even at the final defeat of the Igbo they never abandoned their vanquished friends-turned brothers. Today there are sprawling Igbo populations in these countries with many of them not only becoming full citizens of their host countries, but even playing very important Government roles. As the Igbo would often say, “no land exists without the presence of the lizard”. So it has become customary to say that no battle takes place without the active roles of saboteurs. The Nigeria civil war, like any such war of its kind no doubt witnessed a number of Igbo citizens playing the Vidkun Quisling role against their own people, sabotaging the survivalist sacrificial efforts of their down-trodden people by supporting the Federal troops, prophesying the doomsday for their people’s struggle for survival. These people not only celebrated the defeat of their own people but shamelessly rushed to seek Federal Government appointments and contracts while those who sacrificed, endured and survived remained in perpetual penury for decades and for life. Today, Reverend Ejike Mbaka in the event of General Muhammadu Buhari’s victory presents himself as a champion of God’s prophecy, just because he vaingloriously assumed that his words are the words of God verbatim. But there remain certain clear indices to determine if an event is truly the act of God in the manner a visioner or soothsayer presented it. We know that Ejike Mbaka is from Awgu district in Enugu State and it is not disputable that his people of Enugu State overwhelmingly voted for President Goodluck Jonathan. Secondly, Mbaka should let us know if the massive failure of the Jega’s rigging machine miscalled Card-readers was the act of God. Thirdly, let Father Mbaka tell Nigerians how the God he worships approved the fraudulent permission of under-aged children to vote in the northern part of the country. For we all know that the God of the Roman Catholic Church of which Reverend Father Mbaka belongs is a just God who hates cheating in whatever form it is presented. Unless Reverend Mbaka is telling us that he has another God other than the one Almighty God we all know and acknowledged.Yes, if the victors said the defeat of Biafra was the act of God, the Igbo could not have denied such a statement, just as the on-going victory of the blood-sucking Islamic State in Syria and the Levante (ISIS/ISIL) and their budding children in Nigeria called Boko Haram could also be attributed to the act of God. Those who truly worship God in truth and spirit through any form or medium truly know that God’s ways are hard to fully predict by mortal man. For whatever it was worth, the massive Igbo support for President Jonathan was a patriotic call to duty. Yes, President Jonathan might not have met the greater part of our expectations from him as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But for the Igbo, he wiped out the ignominious tears of second-fiddlers in Federal Government affairs. For the first time since the end of the Nigeria civil war, the Igbo occupied in one stroke the positions of Secretary of the Government of the Federation, two Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces at the same time – the Army and Navy. At least the second Niger Bridge is presently under construction. Beyond these, the massive Igbo support for the President was a cementing force that eventually obliterated the political cancer of rivalry and mutual mistrust between the Igbo and their South-South ethnic brothers that began with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Professor Eyo Ita in the 1950s. Today, the contentious State creation agitation by these neighbours of the Igbo from the defunct Igbo-dominated Eastern Region has been resolved with the existing multiplicity of States. The civil war has come and gone. But could we say that the reason for which the Igbo took up the arms of defence against the Federal Government no longer exists? The Niger Delta militants took up arms against the Federal Government in defence of their rights and have through that experience chiefly identified who their friends and foes are. Have the Igbo actually identified who their friends and foes are in the matrix of present politics? The historical experience of any people so oppressed like the Igbo, no matter how checkered it might be, fundamentally calls for reflection and in essence a lesson. The emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria most importantly calls for reflection primarily for the Igbo. It is a matter that evidently put the Igbo on the balance of sustained political principle via-a-vis a taciturn principle of progressive opposition or wobbling edifice of political harlotry. The present balance of political equation beckons on true Igbo patriots to stand firm and hold the bull of politics by its horn of emerging political challenges. The greatest political disaster the Igbo will attract on themselves is for the crop of her political leaders to aimlessly drift to the soon to emerge ruling APC in the name of being afraid to be in opposition. What is most important for the present political terrain is for both the South East and South-South to further cement the political gains of common solidarity for Jonathan by building a strong force of opposition. What has become customary in the acquisition of political power in Nigeria today, except for the Igbo, is that ethnic generated conflicts often end in Presidential compensation. President Olusegun Obasanjo reaped from the blood-watering conflict of June 12 presidential election annulment. President Umar Yar’Adua benefited from the dastard incarceration and eventual death of his senior brother in the hands of General Sani Abacha. President Goodluck Jonathan invariably reaped from the Niger Delta struggles for economic emancipation. And now, can one deny the fact that General Muhammadu Buhari evidently reaped from the on-going Boko Haram insurgency? What did the Igbo reap from the 30-month long civil war? The Igbo had since the end of the civil war engaged in competitive licking of the political ass of most past Federal Governments except in fact that of President Jonathan. Will this be the case with President Muhammadu Buhari? Dr. Tony Nwaezeigwe is an acting director , Centre for Igbo Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

FRIEND YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. THE BEST YOU COULD HAVE DONE IS TO HAVE MAKE SURE YOU SETTLE THE MATTER BETWEEN THEM OR BETTER STILL YOU HAVE GOT HIS CONSENT BEFORE TAKING HER TO THE HOSTEL. I THINK YOU SAID HE IS YOU FRIEND AND FROM YOUR STATEMENT, HE DEMAND YOUR LOYALTY MEANING THAT HE MUST BE YOUR VERY CLOSE FRIEND. AND BY THAT, YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING EASIER FROM HIM. LADIES ARE VERY VERY UNPREDICTABLE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT SHE WILL BE GETTING CLOSER TO YOU IN PRETENSE OF BEING IN AN EMOTIONAL TRAUMA AND THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE |

Ralphlauren:thanks |
Ralphlauren:please read it very well, you are two there. it is either yoruba and ibo or ibo and yoruba |
The alarming rate at which the Igbos and the Yorubas are harassing each other on this Nairaland is getting out of hand. No matter how good any thread is, inasmuch as these two combinations are there, that thread must end up in assail. If any bad event happened to one of them, the other will be rejoicing or if any good thing happened to one of them the other will be angry. Why? This is worrisome. Is this only existing on Nairaland or is it real? This development warrants this question which I need either of these tribes to answer. QUESTION: For instance you find yourself (Igbo/Yoruba) in the same street with other tribe (Yoruba/Igbo) in London. These other tribe (Yoruba/Igbo) is implicated in a crime of which he is innocent and which could fetch him 10 years in jail before deportation. But you have evidence that can prove his innocence and that can exonerate him. (It is assumed that he knew you are in the same street with him but he did not know you have anything that can free him). What will you do? Please identify if you are Yoruba or Igbo |
[size=18pt]WHY BE SAY THESE TWO TRIBES NEVER WISH TO SEE EACH OTHERS PROGRESS? IFA PLEASE TELL US[/size] |
WHAT DO I HAVE TO SAY IN THIS MATTER? |
THIS IS SERIOUS; GOD PLEASE HELP |
