₦airaland Forum

Siddiki said: “It is evident that our organization’s advocacy for peaceful coexistence among indigenous farmers and herdsmen is increasingly making successes in the South East. “This explains our surprise at the latest stand of the governors, which, if implemented, will not only frustrate our people from carrying out our legitimate livestock rearing business in this part of the country, but might be suggestive of a kind of suspicion that might undermine the mutuality of the claim of brotherhood.

“We are mindful if the various negotiations and consultations still going on in respect of the contentious issues of ranching, colonies and grazing areas across the country, we are hopeful that these issues are considered dispassionately in the interest of Nigeria and the generality of it’s citizens.

“We of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders of Nigeria, south east zone, consequent upon the existing understanding we enjoy with our hosts, and in response to the latest stand by the south east Governors forum, wish to reaffirm our confidence in the capacity of our host governors to encourage the growth of our legitimate trade in their geo political zone.“It is a very trying period in the history of Nigeria and it is our candid view that the south east whose citizens are the major bonding elements among the people of Nigeria, would provide exemplary leadership in accommodating other Nigerians in their midst, in so far such persons are legitimately engaged in their economic pursuits.” The South East governors had at the weekend in Enugu, during their meeting, agreed that open grazing by the cattle breeders would not be tolerated in the zone by any reason

Though I dont trust the Fulani bandits this is actually what their leader said every other thing in the post is trying to stoke hatred btw the Igbo and fulani

NwaEzefuNaMba:
You are right.
In Bayelsa we have the following tribes:
1) Ijaw
2) Epie
3) Akassa
4) Ogbia
5) Nembe.
So anyone saying that Bayesla is a homogeneous Ijaw state is completely ignorant.

Bayelsa is a homogeneous Ijaw state whay you did now is like someone saying, imo has 5 tribes Igbo, Orlu, Mbaise, Egbema etc whereas they're all Igboclans

Babcock University in Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, has graduated 1,926 first degree holders, among which was Mrs Edafe Dogo, a mother of two who graduated with a 4.95 cumulative grade point average, to emerge the overall best in the 2018/2019 academic session.

Dogo, who is a staff of the school, said she chose Business Education because of her love for teaching, a trait she picked from her mother who was an elementary school teacher.

While speaking with journalists at the 17th convocation of the institution held at the University Stadium on Sunday, she also disclosed that the support of God, her husband and lecturers enabled her to achieve the great feat.

“As a wife and mother of two children, I will say it was God and I trusted Him from the beginning because I didn’t know how to go about it. My family was wonderful, they cooperated with me. My husband helped out whenever I was tired and couldn’t meet up. Throughout it was just God, because without God the waking up early and sleeping late to read would have been in vain. I also had the best lecturers. They never gave up on us, they kept on pushing us until we achieved. I owe my success to my lecturers, family, colleagues and classmates.

“I feel it was easier for me because I was doing something I loved doing, every class or exam was enjoyable. When the results started rolling out I was amazed and just surrendered to God’s will. This is simply God’s will, there is nothing super about me,” Dogo enthused.

Speaking on the topic ‘Faith, Fact and Fiction’, the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair at the University of Texas in the United States, Prof. Toyin Falola, said the days of the government taking care of everyone was over, as he noted that there was a need to combine skills acquisition with the acquisition of certificates.

Falola said, “We need not say we want to separate faith from knowledge because we can combine them to produce better citizens that can have more integrity. Students can collect a degree and be spiritual and also knowledgeable, this combination is very positive for the development of the country.

“However, the important question is to what extent can the government assist private universities like Babcock. They can do scholarship for students because they are Nigerians. A scholarship will be the best because that way they divert money to the private university. The days when the government could absorb everybody has gone and we need to combine the acquisition of skills with certificates. It is not wrong to have a BA in English and have a skill in plumbing or painting. So, we have to rethink the packaging of these degrees to make sure they are infused with skills element.”

He further advised the graduates to use the values they learned to develop themselves and the country.

On his part, the Secretary to the Federal Government of Nigeria, Mr Boss Mustapha, said it was essential that the government ensured that the standard of education was not lowered.

Mustapha advised, “One of the things we need to do is to ensure we prepare our graduates in every stratum of our educational system for the world market. That means we have to give them skills or resources to be able to face the challenges of employability. It is not only about graduating with a certificate if you don’t have the desired skills to be employable it constitutes a problem.

“Our education system should tilt towards the direction of making our graduates skilled in such a way that they will not rely on the government for employment but become entrepreneurs and job creators.”
The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Ademola Tayo, said he expected the students to become job creators rather than job seekers because they were taught entrepreneurship. “Most times education in Nigeria trains only the head alone without training the hand and heart that is why some are very clever mentally but they are not able to use their hand to add value to the society. Babcock believes in holistic education, training the whole man; the physical, spiritual and social aspects of man, so that wherever they find themselves they can cohabit with other people.

What u av written here does not in any form prove that they are truly siblings. I don't think any man in his right sense would do this.

Besides are their parents so poor to the extent that they lost it?

This can't be true.

You overrated their value system obviously and underated the power of konji

Adagba1:
Majority of the people that want Oshoimole to go are pained wailers,he has dealt a heavy blow on them,. They are busy shouting that he has destroyed apc as if they care ,see their party chairman

Don't mock a man praying to God, later you will ask why you're not progressing in life

And yet we call notherners savages

GreyLaw:
Thanks for replying that useless post. In the oil states people from different tribes gather to look for jobs in oil firms. He thinks he's oppressing anybody by making such statement.

very annoying set of people, they think Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos, their brothers dominate companies as against indigenes in other states, but when it comes to Lagos they only want Yoruba ppl are allowed

nogragra:
Its high time all addresses by state governors of south west be done in Yoruba Language whoever needs interpretation can be given on request, this should be enshrined in the state constitution. Whoever is not happen with this should go back to his state or better still to the Lagoon and do the need full.

same with Abuja and states of the Niger delta, native languages should be required for jobs in ioc's, as one nigeria don tire all of us

When will Nigerian know the difference between Hardware/Networking Engineer and Software Engineer. Haba, am seeing Hardware/Networking job description and down, there is software technologies language too. Only one person will be a Hardware, Networking Engineer and also a Software Engineer that will develop web and other Web app.lol Nigeria

To get jobs iepn i.t u sopos be expert for "everything"

wirinet:
We that are on ground are generalising and you that is hundreds of miles away is telling us that 9/10 isn't factual.
10/10 of the community leaders, youths and traditional rulers in the Niger delta prefers cash to development. The youths would rather kidnap foreign health workers for ransom rather that receive free treatments and drugs. I have been involved in building clinics and we have to settled the community leaders and youths before we were allowed to start work on clinic which was provided free for them.

Lol, where exactly is the groung you're on, nairaland isn't a place to brag

Wiseoldman:
Wrong. The community leaders and youth leaders are the problem. I have seen a number of these communities were the leaders are actively stopping development. Chevron cannot build anything in that community without the concent of these leaders. And 9 out of ten times these leaders would request for the contract and not execute it or the would ask for kick backs which might be more than the cost of the contract.

Stop generalising every community is not the same 9/10 isn't factual in anyway

Bluffly:
It is the people that have the problem. When you embark on the development of Hostcomms as you said, they meet you and said stop and give us the money. This protest is a mischevious one. It is one of their leaders that planted. Chevron will only deal with the Government and community leaders, so, therefore, they should o and ask them

You're generalising, most communities want development and jobs, what they agitate for during development is jobs on site

domack99:
They should go and ask their community leaders and the youth leaders. Most times in the cou ntry we fight the wrong people and the wrong course

You obviously don't realise that these oil companies love division with host communities, they make payments to a few instead of embarking of development of hostcomms

Ekinematics:
This is a very good one. I have been expecting stuff like this for long. Pure water sack littering our streets making the whole country look like a dump site.

Plastics in the food and drink industry shouldalso be banned

Congrats to her, Islamic terrorism couldn't hold her future down

Reconnect with family and friends, engage yourself with hobbies you had in the past that made you happy like singing, writing, dancing whatever your fancy was, but most especially pray and read the word of God

Looks like dirty water, what an uncivilised people

hammer6F:
U want me to tell u how u have sabotaged and kept the entire Eastern region in a state of handicap to the North.

Ur repeated acts of SABOTAGE is wat have destroyed any prospect of regional progression in the East.

This is all vague, give examples of such sabotage

hammer6F:
U join Aboki and Afonja to destroy every development in our region of which u belong and start talking agenda.


which agenda is greater than enmancipating yourself from poverty?

Can you explain how Ijaw people have joined Aboki and Afonja to destroy development in our region ir you are just repeating ipob propaganda

hammer6F:
Talking like an Ogogoro drinker again.

Wat agenda is more important that addressing your poverty of the mind and wallet?

Its better than being a junkie or an emeka el chapo, go and address your poverty of the mind and wallet in your underdevolped villages that still have mud houses

hammer6F:
Listen, stop talking off point and changing the topic here.

U people need to stop twisting history to suit ur wicked narrative that Igbos have ever oppressed u.

Wen, the documented evidence is of u betraying/sabotaging the Igbos and forming alliance with our common enemies just to oppress the Igbos.

This is wat u do.

You are back with the victim mentality again how can members of a major tribe have such an inferiority complex against minority groups, from your statements it's clear that the problem of Igbos and other southern tribes is just a case of wanting your neighbor to always fall into place with your own agenda and brand it as common good,

hammerFC:
Not true.

This is a map of Kalabari coast. Where is the land?

Are you sure you have been to RIVERS state before

hammerFC:
THAT IS A LIE, U PEOPLE PEDDLE WITH NO HISTORICAL RECORD.

BESIDES, WE ALL KNOW KALABARI ARE LANDLESS COASTAL DWELLERS.

SO, U TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLAIM LAND FOR URSELVES.

ALWAYS SAY THE TRUTH.

Smh for you, victim mentality will not get you anywhere, go and sit with your father to tell you the story of the war, you seem like a misinformed youth.

hammerFC:
THIS IS A BLATANT LIE.

LISTEN TO THIS. IN AN ON GOING WAR "IGBO INVADED, OCCUPIED LAND IN A RIVERINE AREA AND CAUSED SONS TO RISE AGAINST FATHER."

HOW DID DEY DO THE LATTER?

RATHER, IT WAS THE OTHER WAY ROUND AND A WELL DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF KALABARI THEFT OF IGBO PROPERTY AND LAND IN PORT HARCOURT ON THE ORDERS OF ALFRED DIETE-SPIFF, A KALABARI MAN.

Biafrian soldiers rounded up men from many non Igbo communities during the war, Diette Spiff is from Nembe and what happened was redistribution of land to Rivers people after it was stolen by the then Igbo leaders of the Eastern region.

Iruobean:
We need to teach this guy sense. Let's go and report that his comment. If we get like 10k report they will suspend his Instagram account.

Is Obasanjo not a Thief, ole, barawo, Furubo?

aniomafirstson:
By your logic then Nsukka people of Enugu are not igbos because they share boundaries with igala/idoma communities
Abiriba people of abia are not igbos because they share boundaries with ekoi communities

It is normal for a community to have influence from other neighbouring communities but that doesn't mean we don't know their original stock.

If Abiriba was in Akwaibom believe me they would claim non Igbo, state creation goes long way in determining ethnic alignment
