This was Gowon saying he released Awolowo when he visited Awo’s wife in Ikenne.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/191679-why-i-released-awolowo-from-prison-gowon.html

Do you think Gowon is stupid to lie in the front of Mrs. Awolowo about releasing her husband?

Mind you this is the last time I will respond to you. I don’t spoon feed adult.

You're a big time victim of Ojukwu/Gowon publicity b.s
Facing facts here, ask yourself why Awolowo was purportedly released from "Ikoyi prison' in camera while he was actually held in Calabar?
Did Gowon have control of federal facilities in the east at the end of July 1966.
When Awolowo petitioned Ironsi in July 1966, it set off a frenzy between Ojukwu and Gowon about who would get credit for releasing him. Ojukwu released Awo at the end of July, but it took a few days for Awo to get to Ikenne, and then Lagos where Gowon staged the publicity stunt of the release on camera.
Awolowo was not the only federal prisoner released by Ojukwu.
Ever wondered why Awolowo never addressed the release issue openly when he was alive?

Please educate yourselves.

Ojukwu Released Awolowo From Calabar Jail,QED:”I released Awolowo from jail. Even that, some people are beginning to contest as well. Awo was in jail in Calabar. Gowon knows and the whole of the federal establishment knows that at no point was Gowon in charge of the East..”–Odumegwu Ojukwu

New York[RR] Awka–In this interview with Rudolf Okonkwo, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu categorically said that he released Awolowo from Calabar prison, he added, that Gowon and all federal establishment knows that Gowon was at no time in charge of the East, Republic Reporters gathered.

Mr. Okonkwo troubled by multiple argument font and back with S’West and East, pointedly asked Ojukwu whether there was a meeting, “Did the meeting take place, and was there such an agreement?’. Ojukwu response was that, he indeed released Awolowo from Calabar Prison house.

Hear Ojukwu speak for himself:
“We’ve said this over and over again, so many times, and people don’t understand; they don’t want to actually. If you remember, I released Awolowo from jail. Even that, some people are beginning to contest as well. Awo was in jail in Calabar. Gowon knows and the whole of the federal establishment knows that at no point was Gowon in charge of the East. The East took orders from me. Now, how could Gowon have released Awolowo who was in Calabar? Because of the fact that I released him, it created quite a lot of rapport between Awo and myself and I know that before he went back to Ikenne, I set up a hotline between Ikenne and my bedroom in Enugu. He tried like an elder statesman to find a solution. Awolowo is a funny one. Don’t forget that the political purpose of the coup, the Ifeajuna coup that began all this, was to hand power over to Awo. We young men respected him a great deal. He was a hero.

Ojukwu, added, “I thought he was a hero and certainly I received him when I was governor. We talked and he was very vehement when he saw our complaints and he said that if the Igbos were forced out by Nigeria that he would take the Yorubas out also. I don’t know what anybody makes of that statement but it is simple. Whether he did or didn’t, it is too late. There is nothing you can do about it. So, he said this and I must have made some appropriate responses too. But it didn’t quite work out the way that we both thought. Awolowo, evidently, had a constant review of the Yoruba situation and took different path. That’s it. I don’t blame him for it. I have never done. he said.

The Federal government need to stand up for his citizens , enough of this white man bullshit .

Nigerians arise and don't kill your own .

Agree with you!
Air Peace makes flights competitive in Nigeria. Imagine where only mostly US and European airlines only ply Nigeria

No such thing as natural bow legs as people have tried to say.
It's called vitamin deficiency when you're under 12. An orthopedist could have straightened those things out easily.

A Male nurse has taken delivery of a baby with its cord around the neck in a Keke Napep (tricycle) after an undisclosed hospital denied care of the mother in Lagos, praizenews report.

The male nurse, Edeaghe Jeremiah Oyakhilome swung into action after he heard the cry of people in the neighbourhood when a woman in a keke napep went into labour, he had to take delivery of the baby whose cord was round the neck single-handedly.

According to the twitter user who broke the news, He wrote;

Thanks to God for ending the Nigerian Civil War and uniting Nigeria again. Kudos to the elders that saw to the peaceful resolution of Nigeria.
The South-East lost many or almost everything during the civil war: these include: education, businesses, career, wealth, people, peace and so on; but with perseverance, diligence, hardwork, dedication and so on, it is now one of the prosperous regions who have met up with the education, businesses, wealth, career and people in Nigeria. It is also doing well in other aspects of life. It is also an oviously rich region.

Thanks to God for such.

Lesson: Never give up, you can rise again.

Please tell us that you really don't know that one of the biggest frauds in Nigeria was reconstructing the west while the war damage was in the east!

Osaze007:
I was just wondering
What is middlebelt today wasn’t North it was for west and east
Also if you look at fight for independence you see mainly Yoruba Igbo Niger delta
But when it was time to hand over power Na Fulani Dem give

During civil war Fulani enjoyed British support
During military rule same thing

So any reasons for this particular phenomenon

Also shame on zik and Awo for not working together
If they did Nigeria would have been built into an equitable union not the one they were antagonist against each other

A little education leads to a little information.
A little information leads to a little knowledge
A Little knowledge leads to a little more question
A little more question leads to people calling you Igboman
A little after that, they call you Biafran
..and then you'll soon be sounding like Nnamdi Kalu!

Is it not better just keep your ignorance, and hatred for Igbos?

I'm coming back to get more tonight, just get everything ready for me as usual.

Khd95:
audio plan

before these plans will come to life, maybe 5000AD

...and after the Hausa Fulani people are done with you!

Is there no limit to which gory images can be shown on NL?
Moderator, please.

Any speech could be hate speech, depending on the interpreter.
These people should read history books.
From Roman and Greek blasphemy laws to Massachusetts burning of perceived witches spewing hate in the 1600s, now all of a sudden some Nigerians have actually come up with the same historical stupidity?

tartar9:

Why still demolish the building even after the activities has been stopped
That doesn't make sense.
Unless the structure was illegally built,the governor simply has no right to do so.

Demolishing the building is not enough, the proprietors should be locked up too

Rehabilitation is a medical specialty that should not be run from a religious point of view, but by trained medical professionals. this is 2019, not 1600 AD.
Good job Gov Makinde!

Just wait and see how many minutes to would take Nigeria to use juju sink all South African fleet!

Corruption, stupidity, and illiteracy: na the same thing!

Prayer cost plenty money.
When will the churches and mosques get their budgetary allowances from the army?

Unbiased1:
This Osaze op is clearly obsessed with Igbo matter. All his thread are just to spite Ndigbo.
My people just allow him do the worrying for us.

He wishes he had been born Igbo!
But, no way. Like people with similar name, he sees Igbos in his dream every night!
Let him keep praying and working harder to uplift himself, maybe in his next life, God would have mercy and make him Igbo.

This story is so weak, I can't imagine who's going to believe it. While unemployed northern politicians rally round a story purportedly pointing fingers at Igbos in the south east, they simply try to divert attention from what's really going on in the north. The story, of all it's catchy nature failed to reveal names. If an Igbo sounding name had been involved in any way at all, it would have made the NTA news for sure!!

Anyway, we know whose religion and cultures are children-unfriendly in Nigeria.
Ask the Fulani herdsmen recruiting potential criminals, ask the incorporated begging companies lining the streets of Onitsha with sympathetic looking children, or ask the Kaduna Almajiri torture houses:

https://thenationonlineng.net/how-i-founded-kaduna-house-of-horror/

t has been one month of bizarre discovery in Kaduna State, as three houses of torture operating under the guise of rehabilitation centres have been busted by the authorities. ABDULGAFAR ALABELEWE reports on the twists and turns of the incidents.

First, it was Sheikh Ahmad Bin Hambal Islamic School and Rehabilitation Centre in the heart of Rigasa, Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State where about 300 chained inmates, including children, were rescued by the police. Three weeks later, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai led security operatives to bust another popular rehabilitation centre called Malam Niga Centre, where he freed 147 inmates.

The dust was yet to settle on the discovery of the two homes of horror when men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps also unraveled a decade-old torture chamber called a rehabilitation centre in Zaria, also in Kaduna State. Although they are slightly different in terms of ideology and structure, the three rehabilitation centres are not different in their outlooks as homes of alleged torture and sexual abuse where inmates are chained like animals.

Unlike the males only Sheikh Ahmad Bin Hambal Islamic School and Rehabilitation Centre in Kaduna and the one based in Zaria, Malam Niga Centre kept 147 inmates of both genders under alleged dehumanising conditions as inmates were allegedly raped on a daily basis.

In separate interviews with our correspondent, some of the rescued inmates narrated their ordeal, saying that, they were daily subjected to torture and sexual abuse but could not report to their unsuspecting parents who came on occasional visits.

One of them, Hauwa Muhammad, an indegene of Nasarawa State, who lived with her parents in Abuja before she was taken to Malam Niga Centre by her father 11 months ago because she was addicted to hard drugs, alleged that she was raped repeatedly by some men at the centre, including the son-in-law of the proprietor.

Hauwa said: “I was abused by a lot of boys. I was abused several times by the son in-law of Malam Niga, Hassan Sani Dauda. We told Malam what Hassan was doing to us but he refused to believe because Hassan is his daughter’s husband. And he even refused to investigate the allegation.

“For his sexual pleasure and desire, Hassan made us to make love with ourselves. I mean he subjected us to lesbianism and would watch us for his pleasure. And when we refused, he would hit us with the gora (big stick) in his hand. Look at my wrist, my hand is no longer straight, because he hit me with stick.

“It was not only me; he raped seven of us often. In fact, there was a girl he deflowered and raped through her anus.

Another inmate, Maryam Lawal, a 21-year-old indigene of Kaduna State, said she was molested, raped and beaten on a daily basis. “Hassan beat us, raped us and they made us inhale smoke that they called medicine. It is not medicine but mere punishment.

“On a few occasions, I almost passed out during the smoke inhalation process. My breath ceased. It was only God that helped me; I would have died. They would tell us that, we must not drink water until after 15 minutes of the inhalation process. We used to choke and gasp for air,” she said.

Someone is trying to shift blame and direction here:

Nigerian police say more than 300 men and boys have been rescued from a building thought to be an Islamic school where they were held against their will, sexually abused, starved and tortured.

Fox News reports, the rescue happened in the northern city of Kaduna. Reuters reported that most of the victims seen by a reporter were children, some in their late teens. One boy, holding a police officer’s hand as he wobbled unsteadily, had visible sores on his back, possibly the result of whipping.

The victims were kept in “the most debasing and inhuman conditions in the name of teaching them the Koran and reforming them”, Kaduna state police spokesman Yakubu Sabo told AFP.

“We found around 100 students including children as young as nine, in chains stuffed in a small room, all in the name of reforming them and making them responsible persons,” Sabo said.

The owner and six others who were said to be teachers have been arrested, he added.

Kaduna Police Chief Ali Janga told the BBC that police raided the building after a local tip. He described it as a “house of torture” and a place of slavery.

The building’s owner told police the children had been brought by their families to learn the Koran or because they had problems such as drug addiction. But police said the place was not licensed to run any reformatory or educational program.

The school had been operating for a decade.

Victims at the facility were found padlocked to car hubcaps and had their hands and feet chained. Others bore scars down their backs.

“The victims were abused. Some of them said they were sodomised by their teachers,” Sabo stated.

Police had been tipped off by complaints from local residents who became suspicious of what was happening inside the school.

During the raid on the school, police said they found a “torture chamber” where students were chained, hung and beaten.

Local police chief Ali Janga said that despite its claims to be an educational institution, the conditions proved that the facility was “neither a rehab (centre) or an Islamic school”.

Those held there “were used, dehumanised, you can see it yourself”, Janga said. Private Islamic schools are common in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria, where government services are often lacking.

‘Severe punishment’

One inmate quoted by Nigerian media described horrific conditions and treatment at the facility.

“I have spent three months here with chains on my legs,” 42-year-old Bello Hamza said, adding that he was meant to be in South Africa studying for his Masters degree.

“This is supposed to be an Islamic centre, but trying to run away from here attracts severe punishment; they tie people and hang them to the ceiling for that.”

I think Because of tribalism that run in the vain of Innoson that's the major reason he built his company to an unpopular location such as Anambra. For instance ogun state hosting a major multi national companies in Nigeria and their headquarters located at lagos .
Sincerely if innoson build his company in southwest the company will move forward and many will patronize the company more than his expectation. As we all know that environment can be a problem for a business owners sometime in the case of Innoson.

In the good old days, the Adebowales, Odutolas, and Olabukuns led the industrial pioneering of the west, unfortunately, today we have yahoo yahoo yahoo criminals/politicians like Tinubu running around, producing NOTHING, but wants to rule everybody, while genuine industrialists fade away.
The earlier you respect and appreciate the superior Igbo ingenuity the better for you!

Breakfast time: "Igbos are taking over Lagos and other Yoruba cities, they need to be checked, or thrown into the lagoon"
Lunch time: "Igbos need to go back to their states, and develop their own areas, and stop enjoying our big cities in the west"
Dinner time: " Igbo industrialists like Innoson need to re-locate their headquarters to Ogun/Lagos"

Choose one.

It is heartbreaking for ace Nigerian singer, Davido and his fans as his only son, Ifeanyi Adedeji Adeleke Jnr has being tagged an “outcast” by a traditionalist.

Hate speech, 100%!

The speed with which APC has fanned out to spread false rumor that an Igbo man is head of logistics department of INEC tells you that they certainly got a memo from H/Q to spread the misinformation.
Trying so hard to divert attention from Buhari's cursed niece Ms Zakaria pretending to be an unbiased INEC umpire!

Alexis11:


Your forefathers remain your forefathers. Even grammatically, I'm correct.

Generationally, you guys are eternal slaves.

I should be collecting tuition fees from you. But in the spirit of Igbos teaching hausa since 1900, I will let you pass for free.

In a few hours now, we go come discover na fake pictures be this.

BloggerAdmin:
And one Paul Asiegbu on Facebook was busy spreading falsehood like he appointed Amina Zakari himself...

PDP supporters and propaganda are 5&6

Go change it on INEC website first, before coming here to spread lies.

Alexis11:


It actually means "please give me water".

Their forefathers are beggars.

You can at least start with correct English by saying:
Their forefathers WERE beggars-if that's what you meant.

You will not believe it, but there's something called "past tense" in that language, otherwise stick with your cursed arabic.

Say no almajiri system in Igboland. Okoroawusa and his son-inlaw no go succeed.

rufaikoko:
Of course we won't vote for Yamiri baban doya. I wonder someone who does not believe in Nigeria wants to take number 2 position in the said land.

... and you vote for dan gwurugwu?

midolian:
pls shut it!

What have you to say about Wike calling Buhari a goat and patience Jonathan calling the hausas Almajiri born throway children?

You guys disgust me, honestly

You can't even cite a good example to support your cursed argument.
Wike calling Buhari a goat or a dog, which I think he is really, is not the same as calling all Hausa/Fulanis goat.
Obviously you don't know the difference between an individual and a tribe.
That's why you reason through your backside.
