PoliticsFed Govt Discovers More Gas Resources Offshore Lagos by mitchmang(op): 12:06pm On Jun 06, 2018
The Federal Government has said more gas resources are being discovered offshore Lagos.

It also stated that the relative peace in the Niger Delta, coupled with the additional discoveries in Lagos, would boost Nigeria’s gas supply to the West African Gas Pipeline project.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, who disclosed these on Tuesday at the West African Gas Pipeline Project’s Committee of Ministers’ Meeting in Abuja, said Nigeria, along with the partner countries, had nurtured the WAGP project and were looking at further addressing the challenges that had hindered the achievement of their set targets.

“I am pleased to be able to welcome you all at a point when the Niger Delta is stable and gas supply from Nigeria is becoming more assured, and when more gas resources are was discovered offshore Lagos, which could present more option of gas supply to the West African Gas Pipeline project,” Kachikwu stated.

The minister told his guests that the WAGP project was being celebrated all over the continent as the flagship project for the New Partnership for African Development, and called for the sustainability of the project through the cooperation of all parties.

The Managing Director, West African Gas Pipeline Company, Walter Perez, said although significant improvement had been recorded over the years in the firm, the collective effort of the committee was still required to attain the promise for further regional integration.

He stated that WAPCo had been able to upgrade its compressor, and that this led to a growth in its output from 70 million British thermal units per day to 85 million BTU per day in 2018.

Perez said, “However, the situation has significantly improved as a result of the work completed by WAPCo in 2018 to upgrade our compressor station in Nigeria to operate at reduced pressures. As a result of this, we have been able to demonstrate the capability to transport over 85 million BTU per day.

“In addition, this upgrade has allowed us to be more consistent in delivering gas to our customers despite variations in pressure at Itoki. With the imminent completion of critical infrastructure projects in Nigeria, it is our hope and prayer that force majeure will be lifted or the foundation value chain contracts restructured so that it will no longer be necessary to operate on a best endeavours basis.”

Perez told the meeting that Ghana had paid a significant portion of its legacy debt to WAPCo and additional payments were being made.

“I am happy to report that additional payments are currently in process. However, more work is needed to retire the debt. To this end, we are encouraged by the assurances given by the ministry that the legacy debt will be fully retired in 2018,” he added.

PoliticsIbori Asks South-south Governors To Insist On Restructuring by mitchmang(op): 11:53am On Jun 06, 2018
Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, on Tuesday tasked the governors of the South-south states to stick to their demand for restructuring of the country.

Ibori gave the advice at the inauguration of multi millions projects in some parts of Delta State by the Bayelsa State Governor, Sierake Dickson, who was the guest of the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.

The former governor who commended the efforts of Okowa’s administration to transform the state, urged the governors of the region not to back out of their demand for the restructuring of the Nigeria.
“Carry on with the battle for the restructuring of the country to the finishing line,” Ibori said.

“It is worthy to state that governors of the region, few weeks ago, at a meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, stated that “everyone is aware of the ongoing clamour for devolution and a return to essential founding principle of this great country and we, in our meeting, resolved as we have been speaking over sometime that we associate fully with the clamour for restructuring, true federalism and devolution of powers that are so concentrated at the centre to the federating units.

“We have agreed to support ongoing moves in that direction by working with like-minded Nigerians who mean well for the country so that we can all have a stable, prosperous and peaceful country.

“While we are not against the withdrawal of $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) by the federal government for national security, we believe that such should be done by adhering strictly to constitutional provisions of paying 13 per cent derivation,” the South-south governors said at the end of the meeting.

Speaking while inaugurating some projects scattered in two local government areas of the state, Chairman of South-south Governors’ Forum, Dickson, described Okowa as prudent manager of resources.

Dickson inaugurated road projects at Jesse, Ethiope West Local Government Area and the multi-billion naira Sapele Market in Sapele Local Government Area of the state. The market has 1, 532 shops, developed shoreline and four jetties.

According to him, “This is an international market, we are overwhelmed by the quality of projects you have executed, we have seen the wonderful roads you have constructed.
“These are special projects that will touch the lives of the people, improve their economy and the economy of Delta State.”

While paying glowing tribute to Okowa’s administration, he asserted that “Okowa came at the time of recession, and we have heard about what he is doing in the state, and today, we are witnesses, I wonder what Deltans will see in his second term.”

Okowa, at the event, thanked God for making the project inauguration exercise a reality, disclosing that the projects were initiated by Ibori’s administration.
“Every good project that was started by previous administration must be completed. We will not have uncompleted projects in the state,” the governor assured.
PoliticsNational Assembly Threatens To Impeach Buhari, Lists Demands by mitchmang(op): 11:45am On Jun 06, 2018
passes vote of confidence on Saraki

…no confidence vote on Police IG

The National Assembly (NASS) has tabled a list of demands before the Muhammadu Buhari administration, asking it to implement them, lest they invoke “the Constitutional Powers of the Parliament”, a bye-word gor impeachment.

The demands were listed as part of the outcome of an emergency executive joint session of both chambers of the National Assembly on Tuesday.

The meeting passed a vote of confidence on Senator Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, now the subject of police investigation over the 5 April robbery in Offa, Kwara state.

In contrast, the National Assembly members passed a vote of no-confidence on the Inspector General of police, who they want the president to remove because of what they considered to be his “outright disregard for constitutional authority of both the executive and the legislature”.

The lawmakers who met for over three hours in closed door, did not spell out what the “constitutional powers of the Parliament”, is but legal pundits said the only power they have is to set in motion an impeachment proceedings against the President.

Among the list of demands, the legislators want the Buhari administration to address the current security situation in the country.

They frowned at the constant harassment of legislators and other political actors, especially those who seem to hold a contrary view from the executive or those who are critical of the executive arm.

The legislative arm called on the executive to show sincerity in the fight against corruption, adhere to the rule of law and refrain from the “intimidation of Nigerians”.

They threatened that they may be forced to invoke their constitutional powers if the conditions were not met.

Below is the detail of the conditions from the Joint Session of the National Assembly:

1.The Security Agencies must be given marching orders to contain all the sustained killings of Nigerians and protect the lives and properties of Nigerians — as this is the primary duty for any responsible government.

2.The systemic harassment by the executive of perceived political opponents — people with contrary opinions in the legislature and the judiciary — by the police and other security agencies must stop.

3.There must be strict adherence to the rule of law and protection for all citizens by the President and all his appointees.

4.The President must be held accountable for the actions of his appointees and must be ready to sanction, those that carry out any act, that will ridicule or endanger the country and our democracy.

5.The government should show sincerity in the fight against corruption by not being selective and also prosecute current appointees that have cases pending against them.

6.The sanctity of the National Assembly should be protected and preserved by the federal government… and prosecute those who invaded the Senate to seize the mace.

7.Democratic elections must be competitive and inclusive by removing the current reign of fear and intimidation — particularly as we approach the forthcoming 2019 elections.

8.The National Assembly will liaise with the international community through the IPU, the APU, ECOWAS Parliament, Pan-African Parliament, EU, US Congress and the United Nations to secure our democracy. The National Assembly will also engage with civil society organisations, trade unions and NGOs to further deepen and protect our democracy.

The President must take immediate steps to curtail the growing level of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria — especially now that we have an advantage of high oil prices.

Both chambers of the National Assembly hereby pass a vote of confidence on the Senate President, the Speaker and the entire leadership of the National Assembly.

We also hereby reaffirm our earlier resolution on the vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of Police, who does nothing but preside over innocent Nigerians with an outright disregard for constitutional authority of both the executive and the legislature.

The National Assembly will not hesitate to invoke its constitutional powers if nothing is done to address the above resolutions passed today.

BusinessIn 1964 The World Bank Named Eastern Nigeria The Fastest Growing Regional Econ­o by mitchmang(op): 4:53pm On Jan 01, 2018
In 1964 the World Bank named Eastern Nigeria the fastest growing regional econ­omy on earth

In 1964 the World Bank named Eastern Nigeria the fastest growing regional econ­omy on earth. At the time of this assess­ment, Eastern Nigeria was made up of the present five states of the South East, plus four out of the present six states of the South South. Reason for the assessment was that in 1964, Nigeria was the world’s largest producer and exporter of palm oil and palm kernel. Above 90 per cent of the palm oil and palm kernel came from Eastern Nigeria. Nigeria was the world’s largest producer of cassava. Above 60 per cent of Nigeria’s cassava was produced in Eastern Nigeria. By 1964, garri, yam and palm oil from Eastern Nigeria were sold in South Africa, Great Britain and the United States. Coal mining had reached commercial production and Eastern Nige­ria had started making money from Nige­ria’s coal export. By 1964 the Eastern Ni­geria Development Corporation (ENDC) was Eastern Nigeria’s next highest em­ployer of labour after the regional govern­ment itself; producing high quality garri, rice, vegetable oil, fresh eggs, frozen fish, frozen chicken, frozen beef, frozen pork and pork sausages, for domestic distribu­tion and export.

Read it again, this was before crude oil so all the non Igbo speaking parts of the then Eastern Region that believe the Igbos need your oil should understand that our people were on the world map as regards economic development before crude oil.

Yet, crude oil was first found in places like present day Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra and of course Imo and Abia about 40 years before oil was discovered in present day Bayelsa state.

So, if without crude oil the Igbos could achieve this record what makes you think they won't achieve more with the crude oil in Igbo land?

Did you notice what they said concerning coal? The coal in Enugu will banish darkness and provide 24hrs electricity in the entire region.

Over 40% of the electricity being generated in the US come from coal fired power plants. Common sense should tell you that what you have in Enugu can provide constant electricity to the entire country if need be.

So, all those Nigerians that keep talking about Ijaw oil should cure themselves of their own ignorance and realize the fact that people are beginning to see through their lies and propaganda.

I strongly believe that most opposition to an independent Igbo nation is based on envy and fear that the Igbos on their own will so develop that the rest of Nigeria will be like 1,000 years behind.

Who is afraid of healthy competition and why?

Once you know the truth no amount of lies can change it!!!

GOD BLESS THE IGBOS

That's life, we pay for every of our life mistakes...Igbos paid the price.

Hausa/Fulani are now paying the price for killing innocent unarmed Igbo civilians they killed in 1966 pogrom....through Boko Haram which no one can explain.

Tiv and Idoma people are also paying the price of involving in that 1966 pogrom as Fulani herdsmen keep murdering them in their own home.

In life, you must pay for every wrong you do whether you repent or not.

I am not against killing of Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi in the counter coup....i am not against killing any Igbo soldier in the counter coup because that's part of every military coup; soldiers kill soldiers, but I am totally against involving innocent unarmed civilians living peacefully in your region during your military-political power tuzzle, which was where the north got it wrong and still getting it wrong.

North must learn not to involve ordinary civilians in issues of national politics.

If you kill innocent unarmed person in life, u must pay for it, more especially, if u kill a visitor, a sojourner living in your land, nature hates it, God hates it, if you kill someone who did you no wrong just because someone from his tribe or race or region wronged you, nature will reward you in many ways, nature can reward you by putting enemity and sword between your children so that your children will turn enemies and kill each other as we can see happening with Boko Haram.

As we can also see happening between Tiv, Idoma and Hausa/Fulani. Plateau people vs Hausa/Fulani too....these people were close allies before the civil war, but today, nature has put enemity between them and they now fight each other every now and then.

My people desist from shedding innocent blood but if anybody attack you, defend yourself to live!‎
HealthRe: Idps Are Being Raped – Nigerian Govt Raises Alarm Over HIV/AIDS Rate by mitchmang(m): 5:14pm On Nov 05, 2017
Gowon's timidity and lack of character and principles led to the civil war. Gowon encouraged the genocidal massacre of more than 60,000 Igbos in cold blood in Northern Nigeria. Now his people are still being killed by those who used him to sustain this shithole called Nigeria.

There were 2 problems. Killing of Igbos in the North was one. No 2, Ojukwu was senior to Gowon and would never take orders from his junior. But the Hausa/Fulani have had a long history of disregard for principles and standing due process on its head. They forced Gowon as the head of the Supreme Military council. Ojukwu laughed at their stupidity but didn't want war.

He and Ojukwu went to Aburi in Ghana at the behest of the international community's mediatory efforts in a bid to hold a round table meeting to avert the war. Sincere agreements were reached and so the Aburi accord was signed. Confederation of the various units and resource and territorial control with a weaker administrative center.

If Nigeria had stood by the Aburi accord, we would have been 100 times richer than we are now.

What did the block head do? Immediately he came back, he reneged on the agreement he signed the previous day. Thereby creating a point of no return by both parties.

As part of the Aburi accord, igbo soldiers in the North were to be allowed to come back to the east with their weapons while nothern soldiers in the SE were to be allowed to go back with their weapons. The SE complied in good faith but the North collected the weapons of the Igbo soldiers, lined ghem up against a wall and executed all of them. Their bodies were sent back in trucks and train cargo cabins.

Gowon's lack of the character required for leadership of the military is the reason why Nigeria can never, and will never be one. His place in history is assured. They say he kept Nigeria as one but I say he consolidated the Norths right to assist the British in plundering southern resouces; their right to refuse education and maintain the lowest cut off marks in Africa; their rights to still come and insist on ruling without certificates and kill the merit system.

We love deceiving ourselves in Nigeria. It's a way of life. Let me tell you, Nigeria is not progressing in any way. Nigeria, Malaysia and South Korea are contemporaries. Dubai of the UAE was founded in 1971. 11 years after "we started ruling ourselves". And here in 2017, we are still looking for restructuring. Nigerians are funny! Isn't it the same restructuring that was in the Aburi Accord? We are still talking about missing billions of dollars and Fulanis supported and protected by government to kill other Nigerians. What a shame!

As long as Nigeria remains 1 with the inclusion of the North, there will never be progress. Mark my words. They don't want to make progress. That's why they will forever hold on to lowest cut off marks. But they want to continue ruling. Can you give what you don't have

We need to go back to regionalism. Every region develop at your own pace and fund yourselves. No region should be allowed to use their illiteracy and willful backwardness, and unwillingness to work hard and succeed to drag others back.

Restructure now or divide Nigeria. There is no future for Nigeria as presently structured.
Crime*i Turned Gay After My Father's Friend Raped Me When I Was 14 Years - (photos) by mitchmang(op): 3:33pm On Oct 23, 2017
*I TURNED GAY AFTER MY FATHER'S FRIEND RAPED ME WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS - GAY MEN AND BOYS CONFESSES AFTER APPREHENSION*

23-year-old man , who called himself Femi were apprehended with other 42 gay men and boys in a hotel in July 2017.



The suspects were having birthday party with friends when apprehended by the police. They were dragged to court for carrying out "gay activities" and Femi spent a month and two days in jail.

After his arrest, Femi was disowned by his family and was chased out. He now lives with friends, ABC Australia says.

He lost his job as a cleaner, and abandoned his studies at the University to involve himself in paid sex activities in order to gather money to travel to Ghana where he is expecting to have freedom.

He explained that he "turned gay at 14" when his father's friend raped him and he later fell inlove with him. He said he continued a relationship with him without the knowledge of his father who always accuse him to being a gay and acting like a female.

“When he was angry he would start flogging me,” Femi says.
“Any mistake and he would hit me. Every minute, every hour.”
After a month and two days in jail following his arrest, an NGO bailed him out.
“I tried to bribe my way out of it and members of the [LGBTI] community went to speak with my father…[he] asked them to let me die in [jail],” Femi says.

During the administration of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan signed a bill which banned gay marriage and labelled 14years penalty and 10 years for same sex relationships in 2014.

The Lagos state Attorney-General Adeniji Kazeem said that the action taken on the gay men was to end the taking-advantage of minors by gaymen carrying out their activities.

Notwithstanding, a 15-year-old Doyin who was also apprehended claims no sex with minors was carried out. Doyin spent 7 days before he was freed and was not in danger to the wrath of the law unlike others.

“My parents know I’m gay. This is my lifestyle. This is what I choose and they say I should live my life,” he says.
“A gay is a human being and it’s God that created me like this .

I don’t have feelings for women. I have feelings for men. A gay is a human being [and that’s why I’m bold. I didn’t want my mum to know’

Tunde said the outcome of the apprehension was what he was concerned about.

“The police came through and started beating us so I covered my face because I didn’t want my mum to know,” he says.

Tunde said he was tortured by the president of the cell he found himself and the police assigned them to make him confess.

“This is when I had no choice … I said I was gay,” he says.

Tunde with other accused pleaded not guilty in court, however, his picture, HIV status and name was sent to the local media and was shares across the newspapers in the country.

“When I came out my mum found out and the people I work with were abusing me saying I’m a girl,” he says.
“My grandma bought the newspaper and said I was not part of their family anymore and that I should leave the house.”

As they are to return to court on November 22, Lagos activist Peter Kass, whose NGO was at the hotel said he carried out tests on some of the gays before their apprehension and also claims that some gangs used social media to catch gay which they will beat them or collect their valuables.

“What people do is ping you or you get chatting and then you talk about hooking up,” he says.
“When you get there you discover the person isn’t even gay and there are six or seven men there … who are just out there to beat up gay men.”

Born on September 6, 1945 into the family of Pa Okonkwo of Ogbunike in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, is Bishop Mike Okonkwo of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, TREM.



He was interview by Vanguard following the celebration of his birthday. 

Below is the extract where he talked about Nigeria.

On the state of the nation

 So many things are going on in this country that we know nothing about. In fact, to hear that Chief Eric Umeofia, the tomato mogul, is the fourth largest producer of tomato paste in the world is amazing. I believe if we have more people like him in this country, youth restiveness and many social problems that we have will not be there because our youths will be positively engaged. Many people speak well of Nigeria but not many people believe in the project called Nigeria. I believe that God will raise a new generation that will believe in this country. I don’t want us to lose faith in Nigeria. Nigeria is greatly endowed by God and I know we have so many challenges as the enemy is fighting the country from different angles. We must keep praying for Nigeria and I believe that God will bring us out of the challenges we are facing. The plan of the enemy to bring confusion, violence, disintegration, bloodshed and insecurity will not succeed. Our desires about Nigeria will be accomplished.

What is your advice to government?

 They should be sincere about this issue of made – in – Nigeria goods. At times, some of the policies, as you heard the Chairman of Erisco Foods Limited said, are not pursued with honesty. You can’t be telling Nigerians to develop local content and at the same time favour those who import to the detriment of those who are making efforts to develop Nigeria and giving employment to Nigerians. So the Federal Government should really be sincere and honest to encourage Nigerian entrepreneurs.

There are calls for the balkanization of the country. What is your take on?

 Personally, I don’t subscribe to the calls for disintegration. I don’t think disintegration is the solution to the numerous challenges facing the nation. The key is restructuring. Nigeria should restructure. I have said it several times in the past: Anyone opposed to the restructuring is an enemy of Nigeria. He is not honest and is saying so because of what he is personally gaining. The truth is that restructuring is the way to go in the interest of Nigerians.

Some say the word restructure is ambiguous. What’s the colour of the restructure we’re talking about? 

The restructure people are canvassing is in line with what we had in the First Republic where the regional leaders used groundnut, cocoa, coal, palm kernel to build Cocoa House, established television stations and universities, and developed their regions. If our leaders are able to develop their states without oil and depend less on the centre for allocations, it will make for healthy competition and healthy development in different areas and the people will be better for it and more employment will be created and security would be guaranteed.

What therefore do you say to Nnamdi Kanu under whose leadership IPoB’s separatist agitation is creating tension in the country?

 If I happen to meet this young man (which I desire), I will advise him to link up with the Arewa youth, the Oduduwa group and the youths of the Niger Delta because all these people are agitating and they should together take on the political class which appear to have shown that they do not want Nigeria to move forward. They should understand that their future is being mortgaged. It’s not about secession or any ethnic stuff. We should be concerned about how we can make this country better based on unity and I believe that we can achieve more being together as a nation. To break a country involves so many things and many people will suffer in the process. I will rather we start with restructuring and let’s see how it goes and then we see whether we can now stay together or in future we go our separate ways.

If you see President Buhari, what advice will you give him?

 We should not use violence to resolve our differences. Agitations like the one we have in the South-East will come but the solution is not moving armoured tanks there. Like I said, these are not the days you use force or instruments of government to intimidate people because there are those who are willing to die. We should go to the negotiation table to resolve naughty issues. Take for instance recent appointments in the NNPC, why will people not agitate? This is one of the issues that make people agitate. You can’t give 10 slots to the North, three to the South-West, two to the South-South and nothing to the East and you want them to sleep. And you want Nnamdi Kalu not to talk again. At times, I ask myself: who are the people giving advice to government? Why are they giving such advice? I just heard of a rail project being built from Kano to Daura. What is the economic benefit of that project? We can understand the one from Kaduna to Abuja…because people who live in Kaduna can commute to Abuja daily to work. But in this case, show me the economic benefit of spending such billions to develop a rail from Kano to Daura? The states that generate these funds, we don’t have roads that connect them, how much more airport. The Asaba airport was built by the state government, not the Federal Government. The states that generate the funds do not have airports, no roads and you want them not to agitate? What’s really wrong? Is somebody playing games with people’s minds? Such things are not acceptable.
Politics*briton Confesses To Fraudulent Census In Nigeria* by mitchmang(op): 12:10pm On Sep 21, 2017
Briton confesses::
""""""""""""""""""""""
*BRITON CONFESSES TO FRAUDULENT CENSUS IN NIGERIA*

The man *Harold Smith* is not new in Nigerian history. He is one of the architects of colonial foundation that midwife Nigerian independence in 1960.

His response was *"I am in my 80s now; I have agreed but in the past' they' did not want me to say anything, but now I don't want to go to my grave without telling the truth about the atrocities perpetrated in Africa by the colonialists.*

Brothers and sisters; on Ben TV last Thursday, Harold Smith was on a program to reveal what went behind the scene before the independence.

The Oxford University graduate had this to say about his role in Nigeria pre and after independence era.

*‘Our agenda was to completely exploit Africa . Nigeria was my duty post. When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; *strength, intelligence, determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused life style, great hope and aspirations*…

the East is good in _business and technology_
the west is good in _administration and commerce, law and medicine_, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power "at all cost" to the northerner.

They seemed to be *_submissive and silly of a kind._*

Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts. The west led in the fight for the independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. _They will not rule Nigeria !_

Harold Smith confessed that the Census results were announced before they were counted. Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 Million.

This was to be used to maintain their majority votes and future power bid. He stated that the West without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but we ignored that.

The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military.

According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south.

We truncated their good plan for their future. "I was very sorry for the A.G;
*_it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikiwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them"._*

We tricked Azikiwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power.

Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria .

However, Harold Smith justified the British agenda of colonialism in Nigeria , which he believed was originally to help build Africa after the ruins of slave trade, but lamented that the British only looked after themselves and not after Nigerian interest.

*The British really let Nigeria down.*

When I see Nigerian been accused of fraud and from what I saw on the streets of Lagos ; *the British were worst fraudsters*.

Looking at the northern leaders now he said, "If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria . He stated that the British look after the British people and this is so all over the world. He said the time has come now to see people of intelligent minds with an open and inclusive agenda for all Nigerians in power…people who will really look after Nigerians large population…but *"I still curiously and sorrowfully see now that the British has not let go of Nigeria…her wealth,. her potentials, her future*.

He opined that the Caucasian people now assert themselves as the keeper of the "New Age" keys.

He therefore said that it is only logical for Europeans to maintain their position of _power, scientific superiority, economic exploitation, they must continue to perpetuate their lies and falsehoods and this is the most unkindest cut of all in relation to Nigeria situation!_

According to him, Nigeria , a great nation was crippled not because of military juntas or corrupt leaders alone but by the British and American fear of Nigeria great future.

He confessed, _"The fear of the place that will be our ‘dumping ground' really occupied our minds"_.

Some of the things he said were not new to Nigerians or to the whole world but hearing it from the horse's mouth is quite revealing and established more reality zones.

He finally submitted that the colonial masters have caused havoc while they were in Africa , and planted timed bombs when they finally left.

What we see since independence, the administration of new internal colonial masters by fellow Nigerians holding sway in power is doing more damage to Nigeria . Instead of detonating the time bombs planted by the British, the north is planting mines. He added that ‘It was my duty to carry out all of the above and I was loyal to my country.

*Nigerians should try to be loyal to their country leaders and followers alike. Love your country. You have got the potentials to be great again and the whole world knows this'.*

I am sorry for the above evil done to Nigeria . _I can't say sorry enough……_
CelebritiesSee How Much Frank Edoho Earned On ‘who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ Before He Qui by mitchmang(op): 5:00pm On Sep 07, 2017
Frank Edoho, former host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire made a fortune in the 13 years he hosted the family reality game show.
His pay made him smile to the bank and also catapulted him to the league of millionaires.
It was revealed that he was paid a million naira monthly, making a total of N156 million for the 13 years he hosted the show.

Contrary to tales making the rounds that Frank Edoho demanded more money from the organisers of the show, encomium.ng can authoritatively state that his exit was on mutual.

Information pieced together by encomium.ng revealed that Frank Edoho opted out because he wanted to move on to greater things already catching his fancy while WWTBAM was rested, hence his refusal to resume as the host of season 14.

We also gathered that the organisers and Frank Edoho are still enjoying good rapport and he would part take in the process that would unveil a new host in no distant time

North must learn not to involve ordinary civilians in issues of national politics.

If you kill innocent unarmed person in life, u must pay for it, more especially, if u kill a visitor, a sojourner living in your land, nature hates it, God hates it, if you kill someone who did you no wrong just because someone from his tribe or race or region wronged you, nature will reward you in many ways, nature can reward you by putting enemity and sword between your children so that your children will turn enemies and kill each other as we can see happening with Boko Haram.

As we can also see happening between Tiv, Idoma and Hausa/Fulani. Plateau people vs Hausa/Fulani too....these people were close allies before the civil war, but today, nature has put enemity between them and they now fight each other every now and then.

My people desist from shedding innocent blood but if anybody attack you, defend yourself to live!‎
