This is what Ambode was trying to solve once and for all

The same party has ruled Lagos since the inception of democracy in 1999 and this is the result. An agberocratic government

Imagine the tout leader saying that the governor called him and his rival for a peace meeting. People that should be in jail...

Praxis758:
This question have been agitating in my mind.

We've seen and heard how presidential aspirants have been consulting ex heads of state like OBJ, IBB,
and Abdulsalam, including Gen. Aliyu Gusau and Gen. Theophilus Danjuma who are not heads-of-state.

My question is, why is Genera Gowon being left out or ignored when touring/consulting by these aspirants or politicians? Is it that Gowon is irrelevant in the present national discuss?

Gowon has no political capital at all because he was a figure head Head of State with little or no power base when he was C in C outside of officers of his Angas tribe who were few and were eventually neutered after their coup that killed Murtala.

Politicians seek the support of influential people to boost their chances, they know Gowon has no influence over any constituency, not in the army, not even his own region

Ibos would never see anything wrong in their gang up against Eyo ita who was sacked by ibo dominated regional assembly to subsequently elect Azikiwe as eastern premier.
Minorities were so oppressed such that Zik would rather have them marginalized than create a referendum for a separate COR states.



-Viper

Zik made that mistake by himself not his tribe. However minorities were not oppressed in the Eastern region, the OPs article says so clearly

I no receive my share. Nothing for oga Chicago

Hey, stop the lies. There was no projects done in the SW by GEJ. Just stop the lies. GEJ focused on the North but they still hated him. Leave the SW alone. They did not cause your political misfortune

GEJ did a lot for the SW and North infrastructure wise but you both still hated him. He gave you the rail you are enjoying today, water projects, irrigation etc

Nigerians love the SW but Nigerians don't like Tinubu touts. There is a clear difference here so don't try and conflate issues

Investigative:
Am here to appeal to those who ride on pushing hatred on Igbo as campaign strategy in 2015 that such strategy will not work again because this social media have been taken over,and Igbo youths won't allow you spread such calumnious vile against igbo because of Nigeria politics
This is coming from those who introduce tribalism into Nigeria politics,they used this tactics for years which they used against azikiwe leading to first cross carpeting in Nigeria history
They also used it against Jonathan to gain popularity,calling Jonathan so many unprintable names
Using of such Igbo hatred just to solicit vote and support from north won't be allow any more...
My fellow igbo youths won't allow
The famous lagoon speech again

they think that 2015 format will work again. Fa maro ka anyi si kwado

Stole another man's house, somebody's hard work and was posing in front of it for picture

Today in History: Aburi Accord took place.

On this day, January 4th and 5th in 1967, Aburi Accord (agreement) was reached in Aburi, Ghana, by the FG delegates and the Eastern Region delegates led by Col. Emeka Ojukwu. Its purpose was to carve out a...

way to prevent a looming war in Nigeria.

Aburi, a town in the Akuapiam South Municipal District of the Eastern Region of South Ghana, was specifically chosen as the venue of the meeting because the Eastern delegates and their leader, Col. Emeka Ojukwu's safety could not be
guaranteed anywhere within the Western and Northern Nigeria.

Issues Discussed At The Meeting Were:

Total Overhauling of the Army
Constitutional Agreement
Issue of displaced people within the country
To stop using force in the settlement of dispute.

List of Aburi Delegates Are:
Lt. Gen. J.A Ankrah (Chairman of the Ghana National Liberation Council).
Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon
Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu
Maj. Mobolaji Johnson (Gov. Lagos State)
Lt. Col. Hassan Katsina (Gov. Northern Region)
Lt. Col. David Ejoor (Gov. Mid-Western Region)
Joseph Wey (Military VP)
Col. Robert Adebayo (Gov. Western Region)
Kam Selem (Police Chief)
Mr. T. Omo-Bare.
note:Aburi accord suggested Nigeria return to regional government,so why did yakubu gowon renegade from aburi agreement he signed?
The above named Governors came with their secretaries headed by S. Akenzua who later became the Oba of Benin. In response to the accord, the Federal Military Govt. promulgated Decree No. 8 which
was an embodiment of the Aburi accord. The accord later broke down due to different interpretations from both sides and later led to mindless bloodletting that exacted millions of casualties of Ndi Igbo.

It's worthy to note that it was Awolowo & S Akenzua that suggested to Gowon
to relegate the Aburi agreements to the background and he accepted. Another school of thought believed that it was the discovery of Oil in Igbo land that also contributed to Gowon's rejection of Aburi agreements. Failure to implement Aburi Accord led to the death of over 3.5
million Ndi Igbo.

Gowon also decided to abandon the agreement because he claimed Ojukwu went to Aburi prepared while others were not. One can rightly say that Gowon masterminded the genocide of over 3.5 million Ndi Igbo. On Aburi we stand!

It was the civil servants, particularly the Perm Secs like Akenzua and Omo-Bare that killed the aburi accord, convinced Gowon to cancel the regional system and create states

Is this true about Tinubu?

Omojuwa is a bloody hypocrite. He and his fellow APC coven people that could not stop talking about Jonathan before the 2015 elections but now they want us to "promote our own candidate" and leave Tinubu alone.

What a joker

obailala:
Whether old or new picture, that's irrelevant. The mere thought of the possibility of having a Tinubu/Gandollar ticket isn't only amusing, it's scary and ridiculous.

Na God we take dey beg Tinubu, he's a spent cartridge with a lot of baggage; he wouldn't be accepted by anyone. In the interest of Nigeria, Tinubu should better just pull a last minute shocker by pushing PYO forward.

If hubris will allow him

I've not seen a Tinubu supporter that is not a brainless tout or an unscrupulous mercenary

I don't care if Osinbajo wins to be honest but that Bourdillon drug addict has already failed

After "Operation Press Jorginho" during 2019 elections in Lagos, any Igbo that doesn't detest Tinubu is a mugu.

Before then we knew Tinubu hated Igbos, he doesn't hide it, neither does his lousy tout of a wife or his urchin followers who exhibit murderous hatred/racism against Igbos both online and offline

Landmack:

He was there from the beginning;even when others were busy badmouthing and throwing stones at the airport foundation...in fact,ndi Anambra have indirectly handed the airport to him. He deserves every mention

That's why Onyema is successful. He didn't allow bad belle talk to distract him

Air Peace dey enjoy that airport pass they have made mad money this Xmas season as they were the first.

Other airlines will soon start struggling for a piece of the action

Goodmorning Nairalanders.
I had this completely randomized argument with one of my couzins early hours of this morning on the topic above. It was Unusual but deliberate given the fact that I said I love following church service online via the Net or cable dish.

She immediately opposed me and we both started to clearly state our points in bid to render the other person defeated.

It was like a rap battle until she said going to church will enable you, amongst other things take lots of selfies and pictures with others people– Òmó, I became mute and yielded.
Which do you prefer and why?

Bible says "Do not forsake gathering of the saints" - meaning gather in worship. The comments section of YouTube stream is a gathering while you hear the Word

It also says we are to "Worship God in Spirit and Truth". You can be physically in church but your mind is elsewhere or scoping one fine sister/brother. A person who is alone at home with the distractions but still decides to watch is usually a serious worshipper.

I like both. So far the Word of God reaches you

PMB is a stand up guy; he doesn't forget his old comrades.

That's the only quality I can say Buhari has. If you were ever loyal to him he will never forget you no matter what

Head prefect of Lagos common CSP carry you shine for Magodo

Igboid:


Yes. But they were not the only blacksmiths in Igboland.
They were just the most popular. There were Nkwerre, Ehugbo, Agbaja(Okpogho town), etc blacksmith centres in Igboland too.
Awka was just the finnest and most travelled.

Wow. Interesting

Igboid:


Let it be known that just as the Igbo are the most advanced black race in terms of metallurgy in the area called Nigeria in precolonial era, so were we in clothing weaving.

Akwete became the most famous cloth weaving centre in Igboland, just like Awka became the most black smiths, but as a matter of fact, there were hundreds of cloth weaving centres scattered all over Igbo interior in precolonial area, and the quality and quantity of their products were unmatched by those from elsewhere.

Awka metal workers were in high demand even outside Igbo land. The Benin kingdom's demand for their high quality weapons made many of them very rich

Lol @ Bourdillon mongrels

I personally know two people whose family members were kidnapped in the east this Xmas holiday by these same people

ACF did not say pim when herdsmen massacred scores of villagers in Enugu State but banning cows in the east is what they see as war https://www.sunnewsonline.com/how-we-survived-nimbo-massacre-2/

RuudVan:
Every negative vice from endemic corruption, ritual killing and abuse of power is prevalent. While we lay the blame today on the Saraki's, Peter Obi's, Tinubu's, Atiku's, Ibori's, El-Rufai's, Odili's, Alaibe's,Ganduje's etc for failing the country.

The blame should lie in the leaders that ruled before them that failed to instil the proper values and necessary checks and balances to create strong institutions. Presently, the Nigeria we live in certain individuals are more powerful than state institutions.

If we had got it right in the 70's and 80's and the proper values were instituted, Nigeria would have had the same kind of infrastructural development and strong institutions like Algeria, Morocco and South Africa.

Yakubu Gowon was the worst president and did the most damage.

Reneged on Aburi accord

Abolished regions and created states

Created the revenue "sharing formula" regardless of whether your state is productive or not

Created a fund to cover the expenses of the governor's office monthly no matter how much (legalised corruption)

Etc etc

That's why Festus Odimegwu had to go...

I swear, if I no hammer this year coz of the coming presidential election, make I know wetin happen.
