Yet those that continue to produce have nothing to show for it

Useless and brainless people full that body. They would still be suffering like the masses and still be the same idiots that would come after protesters trying to redeem the country.

Now, he's been used and dumped, he's crying wolf, shameless people!

He should do what he thinks he can do, maybe he thinks he's the only smart and entitled Nigerian that's denied entitlement. Next people I'm expecting are the soldiers. All of them are suffering the country yet don't want people to even express themselves because of their loyalty to their oppressors.......

As a graduate from UI, I sometime ask myself, if UI despite its defects, is still considered top-notch, it raises questions about the standards in other universities and the quality of their graduates.

Look at Gowon in his 90's still lying about Aburi because he knows he caused the war. Aburi was such an important matter that it was hosted by the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah. After the meeting and Gowon and Ojukwu reached an agreement, they signed the agreement in front of Ankrah. General Ankrah was so happy, he shook hands with Gowon and Ojukwu, popped champagne, drank with both of them, before taking Gowon and Ojukwu outside to the Press to announce that an agreement had been reached and signed. The pictures are below

Ankrah would ride in the same car with Ojukwu and Gowon to the Airport to see them off

Little did Ankrah know that Gowon would return to Nigeria and deny the agreement, which caused war. All Ankrahs effort at peace were destroyed by Gowon

It's still yorubas that told him not to accept the contents of the Aburi agreement
Today, the same thing they advised Gowon against is what they are running from pillar to post and calling it restructuring to make it a bit appealing.

DomPerignon:
Firstly, Abure wasn't a peace summit as widely circulated over the years by the Upper Iwaeka pseudo historians.

Abure was a make shift venue of the then Supreme Military Council chaired and headed by Gowon with other regional military governors, the Inspector General of Police and the Heads of the Navy and Army in attendamce.

Abure was chosen as a venue because Ojukwu refused to attend any of their previous meetngs that were held Lagos and Benin.

Ojukwu cited security concerns for his own safety as reasons why he will not be in attendance in any meeting held in Nigeria and insisted that the next council meeting should be held in Enugu or he won't be in attendance.

Abure was chosen to placate Ojukwu to attend


Abure wasn't a peace meeting but a Security Counsel headed by Gowon

Now imagine that Abacha or IBB summoned a Security Council meeting and a military governor refused to attend citing security threat to his life . will that officer not be thrown in court martialed and jailed instantly for direct insubordination?

Being a Military dictatorship headed by Gowon, the Supreme Military council only offered advice to the HoS and not in anyway a joint decision making board .

Ojukwu did not recognise Gowon as HoS and that is why he refused to obey Gowon's command or recognise his authority


By the way, no one elected Ojukwu or Gowon in the first place and any agreement made in Abure during the illegal Supreme Military council meeting was not binding to any one in Nigeria .

Same Ojukwu who applauded Ironsi seizing power for himself after Orizu and Zik refused to swear in the deputy PM but went on air to hand over to their brother Ironsi .

Same Ojukwu who was the only Military Governor to welcome the Zik dictated Decree 34 passed by Ironsi can not be crying over Abure because on what authority did Orizu draw to hand over to Ironsi in the first place and what powers did Ironsi have to abolish the constitutionally recognized regions and also discard our constitution at independence?

Ohaneze is only angry that the then young Gowon alongside David Ejoor put an end to their tribal agenda

Yorubas Keep writing and writing to change the narrative of Biafran story. Their reason for that, I don't know but it keeps making Igbos understand who the real enemy is. Even today, Yorubas are agitated and hateful at the mention of Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu more than any other tribe or ethnic group in the world. One day , they will bring up another fat lie on how it was not Awo who brought up the Idea of starving Biafran families through blockade. How people who did all such evil yet still want to remain in the same country with Igbos is really amazing. But, their reason for hating Igbos who are genuinely pursuing independence/Biafra, I don't know. I only know one clear fact, which is they can't expressly state what they have benefitted from one Nigeria since it was created. All I see are people who are not courageous enough of their survival without other tribes the British lumped them with.

Kindly read Frederick Forsyth and other foreign journalists on what really happened about Biafra and stop trying in vain to sell lies from Nigerians who are no longer proud of their people's role and trying everything to appear clean.

If everyone did so right except Ojukwu over the Biafran story, why did Nigerian government ban history in schools? Guess they thought their new generation lies would become believable

How on earth would someone be teaching you to wear bra in public and you can't feel remorse for failing to learn such decency from home, instead you are raising eyebrows and making more mockery of yourself.

The school should really be commended for their gesture and having time to even address such nonsense despite prevailing social and economic issues in Nigeria

Afterall Maazi Kanu already said all that's happening now. They were sold out with the politicians propaganda instead. Pity

IJAYA001:
Okay, Thanks for teaching me what I know. I'm a political scientists. IRE O

Wow, a political scientist justifying election rigging and manipulation as features of election..... your school deserve commendation

ariesbull:
was that man creating job or was he somewhere earning salary ?

Learn to be innovative and create opportunities a.d jobs and Dom sit and hope for job to be earning salary

Well, a civil servant up to his level should at least be able to live a comfortable life if things are the way they were supposed to be

IJAYA001:

You are so naive, Peter Obi won 99% of Eastern vote yet he won in south West and North. Atiku won in south west and anybody that wanted to vote for other party in your dot com. Shall be threaten, let me tell you the bitter truth if Peter Obi contested 100 times he will not win same thing happened to Awolowo in his days because the 11 northern core Muslims States will never vote for Christian but they would rather vote for Muslim Muslim tickets. IRE O

You see, we don't tell ourselves the truth even when it takes nothing away from us. I remember reading about OBJ saying that even the best candidate will not win the 1979 election and he was clearly referring to Awo. Similar things happened in 1993 and 2007 when the politicians always try to give the people a different person from who they voted. But has it ever changed the fact that people are always conscious of what usually happen during the elections? No! Trying to justify the shady role of inec itself by switching off the server and claiming technical glitches for only the presidential election while at the same time, announcing someone as winner only leads to the 'illegitimate' president we have, who would never have the support of most people. It doesn't matter whether the court sealed the deal or not, people are not that dumb and stupid in this age.

Thunderfayamods:
How many people can afford 5 million in Nigeria?
Nigerians have been migrating abroad before Tinubu. Where are you people getting all these false informations?

He's not far from truth actually if you do objective assessment. 2 of my very good lecturers when I was in school just relocated and I know some others that are still processing theirs. Some still take loan after selling their land, just to escape Nigeria because Tinubu is totally without direction and to make matters worse, all the corrupt people we have been waiting to see punished are all joining the same party to erase their sins.

As I am, I'm seriously planning my exit because it's not just for myself but for my children. The future of Nigeria looks too bleak and one becomes helpless when even the poor ones are supporting their tormentors in the name of tribe and religion and political party, it's just irredeemable!

NiceLegs:
I'm happy for them.

If u have the financial means, better leave o.

If u like, be listening to those telling u not to move.

It's in future, u will realize the truth

This is exactly how one of my exam officers put it to me the day I went to collect my result.

He said he had regretted his decision to remain in Nigeria after the school retained him as the best graduating student in his faculty in the 80s. He said that some of his mates back then didn't waste the opportunity they all had but relocated to US and UK. Today, they have their permanent residence and have all moved their families there while he's still fighting for minimum wage.

I looked around his dusty and rickety office and he started pointing at his fan and AC that neither was working. As I tell you, till today, this man has made it a point of duty to always call me every week just to remind of the need to leave Nigeria while I still have the energy.

IJAYA001:
I can see you know noting about politics, ask any political scientists they will tell you rigging is part of election. Best rigger always emerged any where in the world. Mind you vote buying, harassment or cohesion, all sort of manipulations either tribalism or religion influence are all rigging during election. Now tell me who among the three leading candidate can be exonerated in 2023 election. 2027 is very near. IRE O

Thank you for clarifying the fact that Tinubu didn't enter Aso Rock with people's mandate but a stolen one and it's all I needed to hear. So, it's understandable why he's just as clueless as his supporters on what to do to move Nigeria forward.
No wonder you can't even say a single good thing he's been able to do since he stole Obi's mandate. Yet you still support him despite seeing Nigeria sinking under his watch, haaaa how unpatriotic can you! Is this the kind of country you want to leave for your children or you think it all ends in proving petty points on social media while people are escaping the country with no plans to return?

IJAYA001:
Don't let me just waste my time because if I tell you --- you will block your ears , if I show you --- you will close your eyes because you don't want to see or hear anything good about 8 years of Tinubu regime. IRE O

Please tell me, just one GOOD single THING of Mr Tinubu. I will not close my eyes and I will appreciate it but first, stick with the 4years they rigged him into Aso Rock, we will talk about your 8 years delusion after 2027 election

They are all using Kanu name to advance their political future because they know it's a name that appeals to Igbos. Who is he calling on if at his level, he doesn't know what to do to ensure Kanu is freed? Speaking for the camera

IJAYA001:
NO, they are not obedient but obedient like all negative news about Nigeria they want to govern. IRE O

You that like good news about Nigeria, can you tell me one good news that can be attributed to Nigeria since Tinubu was rigged into office?

There is no evidence that they are angry here, when I see one, I will recognise it.

If they were truly pained by happenings around them, they would have staged counter protests the same day their paid brothers were cheering Tinubu and alia up few days back.

The killers were happy that they praised Tinubu and decided to strike harder since they demonstrated their happiness with the unabated killings going on for long, shouldn't they continue the praise singing as they have succeeded in adding more deaths? When you play politics with your brothers and sisters lives, this is the result........shameful!

dominique:
I don't understand the correlation between counting the votes and counting the person. Different people go to polling booths to vote different candidates. So as we're counting the person, are we going to be asking who they voted for? Does that not defeat the purpose of a closed ballot system?

Closed ballots are not needed in the event of technical glitches or inability to count before voters. Everyone has been made to know that when the electronic way is failing, all should resort to manual and that's what's going to play out, whether as electoral staff or police, your job is to cooperate with the electorates if you desire to be alive and hear the final result

ALISMILE:
This one is obviously still living in his own delusion of guaranteed victory failing to see that he had far better chances of winning in 2023 than he would have come 2027
He will still emerge 3rd in 2027 but with far less margin

For the records, your lots said more than this in 2023 only to start switching server while chanting technical glitches and sneaking out in the dead of the night to announce an acclaimed winner..... they should really arm those going to conduct 2027 election because any one willing to be used for another technical glitches will be going up in flames right from polling booths to the collation centres

obama30:
A nation that didn't show any remorse for killing over 3 million people of their own gene, is calling out a nation that's is fighting terrorist.

A nation that enjoys watching their citizens slaughter by sponsored terrorists in disguise as herders is talking.

A country that hide and protect terrorists from facing justice is talking.

A country that pardon terrorists that kills citizens and military men is telling country that know how to handle terrorist to stop.

A country that tell citizens to use prayer to quench hunger that causes by terrorist is talking.

Shameless people, I hope minister that initiated this call has send soldiers to protect citizens at Benue state.

Thank you for reminding us of this, I will always amplify truth and I will copy it humbly

Lots of young Iranians wanted it to happen, to get rid of their tyrannical government.

Tinubu should have known what young Nigerians are waiting to happen with the political class at this moment and stay out of issues concerning US/Israel and Iran. He can't handle ordinary bandits/herdsmen yet speaking into world powers affair

This is how to address shameful acts from rulers like Adams oshiomle who think only those within corridor of power deserve regard.......a prophet is not needed to recognise leadership

klawaaa:
Nigeria, which way? See how they waste national resources on unseroius being. Someone commited treason and they are just being political and tribal to make decision.

You can rant all you want, the head of a lion is only a vain wish for the dog. If you can do more than the DSS, please locate their office in Abuja

Factcheck0001:
so far your Messiah rots in jail


At least he will learn his lesson the hard way

Well you will have to pray hard for that to happen. At least your relatives should have told you that he is different from Abiola who was poisoned in jail and the culprits still walked away freely. Do I also need to remind you that he has a different fate from your forever demi god -awo, who ended up in suicide due to frustration of failing to be president?

Please pray harder for your wishes to become true bruh

Thank you Mr Dele. Yoruba senators were sweating hard on the floor of the house arguing against immortalising Humphrey nwosu because according to them, nwosu lacked the liver to declare abiola president. But none of them including all their Vocal representatives ever remembered what Dele just reminded us of how the electorates in 1993 were allowed to exercise their freedom of voting and their votes counted despite being in a military era and manual collation. Did any of those senators ever had the liver to condemn how Yorubas, our "accommodating and acclaimed educated tribe" were openly restricting and massacring people who looked like Igbos from voting in a democratic government in today's century of 2023? How more hypocritical can a people be? Safe to say that what even happened in 1993 that many were condemning was a child's play to the robbery, disenfranchisement and the brutality of 2023 general election, we can only hope that someday, people might look themselves in the mirror and admit what truth they have been denying all their lives

Factcheck0001:
they want to show him what it means to call Nigeria a zoo

So just observe as things unfold

You that they are not showing what it means to call Nigeria a zoo, how is life for you and those around you? Oh I remember, mental poverty is the greatest of all sickness, and as Fela described your lot...."Suffering and Smiling"😊😁

Will soon join readers association, e no hard

ALISMILE:
This your comment made me laugh hard!

Oga I no be from SW oooo

Oh I thought you are...... But even, some families in South west don't do the accommodation stuff. Talking from experience I had during my school days.

I have had to meet landlords and landladies that refused to give me house on the ground of not being a Christian and not a Yoruba. Some of us just don't talk about them, not because we don't notice them but for what purpose?

😂😂😂😂😂 Just 2years and he has all of that? Let me wait to see the next move of renaming Nigeria after him before his 4yrs tenure ends

Ibadan was more developed than the entire SE Igboland then and now.
It was more developed than Lagos then.

Which part of Ibadan please? Only the secretariat you mean? Smiles.

I had my second degree in Ibadan, you can't even get a clean apartment, oh I forgot your development must be patching or at best, refurbishing dilapidated buildings
