Na wa o if these bastards find a way to dominate the roads between Abuja and Nasarawa like they have done between Abuja and Kaduna then there is a serious problem

That warthog Wike is actually worse than Amaechi last last

Nigeria is free for all nigeria, let the innocent find solace in a peaceful place,
They have every right to stay, provided they obey the law of the land.
No one will ever chose to be born in a war torn and savage environment, but out of circumstances we should accommodate them.

These are not from any war torn place. They come from foreign countries to settle and grab land.

But why must they live in the forests by force. Why not pay government for land to use as a ranch This thing no hard

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has asked herders in Ondo state not to leave their locations and resist moves to be labelled as criminals.

In a statement on Wednesday, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a spokesman of the forum, asked Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo, to rescind the ultimatum given to herders to vacate forest reserves in the state.

He described the governor’s order as provocative and unhelpful.

On Monday, Akeredolu gave herders a seven-day ultimatum to leave the forests, citing the rising insecurity in the state.

The governor said “bad elements” have turned the forest reserves into hideouts for keeping victims of kidnapping, negotiating for ransom and carrying out other criminal activities.

But Baba-Ahmed said Fulanis will not accept unfair treatment, challenging the governor to isolate criminals and treat them as such.

“Northern Elders Forum is shocked at reports that Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, is asking a Fulani community to leave its lawful location, in addition to other restrictions on activities of Fulani people who have lived in the State for a long period,” Baba-Ahmed said.




“Governor Akeredolu is a senior lawyer who should know that the constitution does not give him the power to deny any Nigerian the right to live where he chooses if he does not break the law in the process. His duty to protect and improve the security of citizens and all people in Ondo State cannot be challenged.

“No Nigerian has the power to take punitive action against citizens on political grounds. The forum believes that the action of the governor is provocative and unhelpful

Liposure:
abacha is the only soldier that participated in every successful coup in nigeria including the 66 counter coup. Had orkar had abacha on his side who knows...

Thats why he was so paranoid when he became Head of State. The Orkar coup was done with the aim of excising Northern Nigeria from the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria so Abacha could never have joined them.

V7place:
I remember now! Thanks for this. This is Why We Struck?
I read this book years and years ago when I was probably 12 years old. Especially the Tai Solarin part!

Whilst not excusing the killings, maybe this is why they did it.

The coup itself was to prevent greater evil. If they were more mature I am sure they wouldn't have killed people. They were just boys at the end of the day

kettykin:
If this is true then the real threat to the igbo nation is not the north. I am still trying to figure out what was the real mind set of igbos who carried the January 15 coup, was it naivety or patriotism or they were simply fooled into it and betrayed

It's true o. Sardauna planned to use the Army to level the Western region and kill intellectuals like Tai Solarin

babzo:
Hmmm...ironic that the 2 coups carried out by mid level officers and revolutionary in nature were rushed and both failed! 1966 and 1990.

Very correct o. Coups by Generals are more successful.Orkar's coup might have worked if not that they were all very high on cocaine and failed to seize Abacha who mobilised and countered

Christistruth00:
I always maintained that 2 people were killed in Akintola's Compound

My mother like a lot of people in Ibadan visited Akintola's Compound on that day to see what had happened with their own eyes Akintola's Nephew was operating the Generator when he was shot dead

Why are you so afraid of the Truth

This thing you posted even proves my point

Oguchi and his men could not storm the place and arrest him because the Prime minister of Cyprus was with Okpara. I do find the story of Ifeajuna very dodgy because Ghana is nowhere near Enugu so how did he get there? Did he go back through Lagos again? Thanks for uploading sha

kettykin:
If the 1966 coup did not happen, the state of emergency and chaos in the west would have grown out of proportion to an insurgency.

Awolowo would have probably died in prison.
The eastern economy which was the fastest growing economy in the world as at then would have transformed the east to where south Korea's economy is today or something higher.

The sarduana would have continued his unbridled March to bury the Koran in the Atlantic.

Nigeria would have generally been a much better place and country.

Lessons learnt. Igbos should mind their business even when Nigeria is on fire ,mind your business.

Igbos repeated their mistakes in the end SARS protests and the revisionist almost made it an igbo sabotaging lagos economy but for the social media

Ademoyega in his book confirmed that the coup was supposed to take place later in the year but he found out from H.O. Davies that Sardauna, Balewa and Akintola were planning a very bloody crackdown on the Western Region and the Middle Belt. They then rushed their plans and staged it on January 15

Christistruth00:
My mother visited Akintola's compound on the day he was murdered 2 people were killed the other person was first shot while starting the Generator it was that shot that made Akintola Arm himself and he would have been able to escape had the Soldiers not threatened to shoot his family if he escaped.


The rest is Propaganda
Even the Police report said 2 People were killed in Akintola's compound

Your story no balance.

First paragraph you are claiming 3 were killed

Second paragraph you are agreeing with the more correct account that only 2 were killed (Akintola and the generator operator)

BabaOwen:
Ojukwu was losing the war, there was no hope especially after the 2nd and 3rd marine Division started attacking from the south, he should have surrender earlier than he did. If he surrender early, millions of Igbos won't have died.

Awolowo's starvation policy which Gowon implemented, killed 3,000,000 civilians. Biafran military casualties were about 40,000 and they died in conventional warfare

Gowon chose to starve 3,000,000 to death
Simple and short

Christistruth00:
Did Akintola's Nephew or Prime minister Balewa or Okotie eboh or Sardauna and Ademuleguns Wives also open fire

Wickedness will always be wickedness no matter how nicely you dress it up

Why didn't Nwobosi visit Okpara and Osadebey weren't they Premiers too

Why didn't Ifeajuna shoot Okpara Premier of the East when he met him on the day of the Coup after Ifeajuna fled to the East was it because he was Igbo?

Why didn't Ifeajuna eliminate Osadebey Premier of the Midwest when he passed through Benin on his way to Enugu was it because he was also Igbo speaking?

Instead with Okpara's knowledge Major Ifeajuna who had Murdered a whole Prime Minister was hidden for 2 days before being smuggled to Ghana

Wickedness can never be justified

Akintola's nephew was not killed. You are typing fiction you can never prove

Ifeajuna NEVER came for Okpara. Lt. Oguchi was the one that went for him and Okpara was in the presence of President Makarios of Cyprus and cooperated.

It is wickedness that has kept Nigeria from progressing.

BabaOwen:
It has been healed.
Nigeria didn't do any bad thing against the Biafrans.

There is no country in the world were someone will just rise and say he is taking is region/people out of the country the way ojukwu did, and it won't lead to war.

When Ironsi was the head of state of Nigeria, Isaac Adaka Boro decided his people are been marginalise in the Eastern region, so he declared the Niger Delta region as an independent country.

War was declared on Boro and his men by Maj. Gen. Ironsi. Col. Ojukwu should have learnt from Boro ordeal.

Did Ironsi kill 3,000,000 ppl like Gowon did?

Christistruth00:
What did Premier Akintola do to Capt Nwobosi who killed him and his nephew also?

Akintola opened fire on Nwobosi and his men. A bullet grazed Nwobosi's neck. They returned fire and killed Akintola.

Fani-Kayode cooperated and was arrested unharmed few minutes before

I saw this post earlier today on FP.

As expected NLders began to bash the president and DSS. Truth is that story followed from a post by Sowore on twitter. What the writer failed to mention is the real offence of Emmanuel Akuma. What did he say in criticising Buhari.

Attached here is the twitter post that got him in trouble. You think because you have freedom of speech then you can say anything? Or because you are behind a keypad, you think you cannot be traced.

This is a warning to youths especially, be careful of what you post online.

No serious country will take that post as a joke.

Emmanuel Akuma is learning an important lesson in life the hard way. Many more are already languishing in various prisons. Mind what you say online.

We have seen northerners threaten the lives of southerners on social media especially during election cycles and nobody bats an eyelid. During GEJ's admin he and his family were cursed almost everyday yet he never used DSS or the court to harrass anybody.

LargeBreed:
Onitsha is made of 3 natives: the igalas, the Igbos from the western igboland and the umuezechima from Benin. Some of you give the wrong account by stating that Benin people are originals. This is false because, Ezechima migrated from Arochukwu to Benin and from Benin to Onitsha where lived with the igala and fellow Igbos thereby co-founding Onitsha. Ezechima brought some elements of Benin culture along with him to Onitsha. No Benin person nor prince founded Onitsha, instead Ezechima(who is Igbo from Benin) co-founded Onitsha.

I thought Ezechima came from Anioma

You don't know Jaja's name, his family, and other things but you know where he came from. Pathetic pathological liars. All records except for Igbo revisionist history refer to Jaja 1st as an Ibani Chief and later one of the migrants to another Ijaw Island. Again Pepple was not from Pepper but another Ijaw word .You cultureless , ignorant Jewish wannabes actually think Pepper was European introduced hence a King was named after Pepper. Get educated and stop displaying your ignorance publicly.

I suspect you smoked dry shit this afternoon

Britannica encyclopedia sef na Igbo revisionists get am too.

candidtalk:
There should be a 'social net' of some sort in place to catch those genuine cases and prevent them hitting rock bottom.

That should be for Lagos to try and provide. The fact remains though that too many people are still arriving Lagos from everywhere with no idea where they will live or how they will make money to look after themselves and posiibly dependents. That should stop.

Very correct. Its that lack of a social safety net that makes crime so rampant. These shanties have always been there but it has become more common now in Lagos and Abuja because rising poverty. Jakande was the only governor of Lagos to try and create houses for the poor. The rest have wanted it to be elitist

People will always migrate to cities for better opportunities . That's the world of today for you. In the olden days I would have been in a forest in my village hunting antelope or learning how to make Iron ore into farming tools.

PHijo:
There is no history of Jaja being an Igbo man except the fictitious history in the minds of Igbos. The evidence we have was that Jaja migrated from Bonny to present day Opobo which was an island owned by an Ijaw clan.

His migrated with other Ijaw chiefs. At the time migration Jaja was a chief like the others.

Ijaws were capturing Igbo people and selling to the white man. Eventually one of the slaves became your king.

If you know you can not afford a standard living in Lagos pls go to hell or back to your village where your generation are from,don't come to Lagos State and hide inside one slum and think you live in Lagos,let embrace 21st century with decent living and approach.

It's not only new arrivals in Lagos that live in shanties. Some people fell on hard times, others are rendered homeless by circumstance and move to these slums because it's all they can afford.

One despatch rider in a place I used to work lived in a shanty, was going to polytechnic at weekends and had a wife and child. He eventually took office loan and got a room in a better hood near satellite town
