CALABAR FOR PETER OBI.
Sometime ago i told some foolish urchins that the only reason Kwankwaso was trending was because of Peter Obi due to the Labour Party & NNPP merger,
& the foolish urchins attacked me by saying Kwankwaso was bigger than Obi.
Please i am asking those foolish urchins where Kwankwaso is right now?
Ever since he stupidly rejected the chance of a lifetime by accepting to be V.P to Obi, nobody hears about or talks about him again.
The foolish tribalistic man is only popular in Kano state, so let's see if only Kano votes would make him win the election.

The Chinese company sowing his red caps had some logistics issues. He will paint KANO red soonest when the caps arrive.

Meanwhile Obidients are creative self-motivated youths who are ready to give their all to build a better Nigeria

Can Tinubu supporters in the same Calabar show us their morning jogging pictures. I don't want pictures that will emerge during campaign after the vaults have been declared open and bullion vans begin distribution of money.

We need pictures of self-motivated supporters. We need to check something.

Only idi0ts will say this.

Yardua was never sick.to.walk without aid, or stand without aid or wears diaper.

Or had shaky hands and shaky legs or slurred speech or dementia.

Yardua was strong and healthy until his body rejected the donated organ and went into coma.


Btw are you guys so dense? Tinubu is even healthier than his supporters who act like robots zombies

Do you need to school the zombie.

Prof Akintoye Writes Buhari, Says Yoruba People Want To Officially Leave Nigeria Over ‘Killings By State-sponsored Fulani Militias, Others’

Prof Akintoye Writes Buhari, Says Yoruba People Want To Officially Leave Nigeria Over ‘Killings By State-sponsored Fulani Militias, Others’
—————————————————
Professor Banji Akintoye, says the Yoruba ethnic group is in dire need of its own country out of present Nigeria.
Renowned historian and leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba Self-Determination Movement, Ilana Omo Oodua, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye, says the Yoruba ethnic group is in dire need of its own country out of present Nigeria.

Akintoye disclosed this in a letter dated August 6, 2022, sent to President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the letter was to formally give the President “notice of the decision of the overwhelming majority of our Yoruba nation and people to exercise our right to self-determination to have our independent and sovereign country separate from the country of Nigeria”.

He said it was to formally inform Buhari “that we desire to commence this process of self-determination officially so as to establish our independent and sovereign country as soon as possible, hopefully in constructive dialogue with the Government of Nigeria.”

“We Yoruba people solemnly and unalterably reject any arrangement that would subject us to continued membership of Nigeria,” he said in the letter.

The letter read in part, “Even much worse, Mr. President, you and we do know that, consequent upon, and beyond, all these serious distortions and devastations, a bloody and generalized war is now imminent in Nigeria.

“As these would-be conquerors and their allied terrorists continue to unleash their devastations on indigenous peoples across Nigeria, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo (president 1999 – 2007), has publicly alerted the world that war has become inevitable, and is imminent, in Nigeria. According to countless additional sources from all parts of Nigeria, including statements and threats by terrorist and bandit groups, this final war will be triggered by a massive invasion of Abuja by a combination of terrorist and bandit forces, followed by claims by these forces that they have taken over the authority of the Nigerian federal government, and followed by a general demand that the peoples in all parts of Nigeria should surrender their homelands, and that since the indigenous peoples will not surrender their lands to the Fulani and their terrorist allies, the war will spread all over Nigeria for years to come and lead to massive refugee floods from Nigeria into most parts of West Africa, generating massive disruption, poverty and human suffering across West Africa .”

He said, “We can no longer continue to watch as we face the probable extermination of our people through the unprovoked and persistent aggression by another ethnic group with which we are living together in the same country.”

According to him, the people of the South West region have been attacked by heavily armed marauders and militias, who have been invading “our homeland for many years from the Northern part of the country of Nigeria to which we belong”.

In the letter, the Chairman of Ilana Omo Odua proposed as follows: “That the Nigerian Federal Government, in view of the serious urgency of the situation, shall, within the coming days, but not later than Friday September 30, 2022, inform us that they have graciously agreed to our proposal for negotiation and that they have set up a negotiation team that will meet and dialogue with our Yoruba nation’s representatives.

“That as soon as we receive the communication from the Nigerian Government, we shall forward the list of our negotiation delegates to the Nigerian Government.

“That the Nigerian Government negotiation team and our negotiation team shall meet to appoint co-chairpersons, and to agree on a date for the first negotiation meeting, the procedure, and the venue.

“That ECOWAS, the African Union, and the United Nations shall be invited to send observers to the negotiation meetings.”

“Mr. President, we eagerly and most respectfully await your response to our proposal as spelt out above.

“Mr. President, we include below in this letter a Map of Yorubaland in Nigeria, depicting our desired sovereign Yoruba Nation-State,” he added.

The letter read in part, “Mr. President, we, Yoruba, have taken our time to consider various options available to us as a civilized people in today’s civilized world. We have arrived at the most reasonable conclusion and the most sustainable option in the best interest of our people. “Throughout the past sixty years of independent Nigeria, we Yoruba, having attained to a considerably higher level of modern education and other modern developments than all other Black African nations before the coming of European colonialism and the amalgamation of hundreds of peoples to form the country of Nigeria, have patriotically and consistently made positive efforts to impact the lives of the other nationalities of Nigeria with our high standards. However, our efforts have not yielded any much of good results for our people or for the other different ethnic nations, owing to serious divergences in cultural and value orientations, amounting to a clash of cultures.

“Yoruba people have now decided to manage their own affairs and to command unencumbered control over their lives and destiny. The Yoruba are denied the opportunity to exercise their God-given rights in a Nigeria that is dragged down by a ponderous, ineffective and bloated central government that is regularly burdened by contentious religious involvements, by a powerful culture of public corruption, and by the headstrong efforts of one ethnic nation to subjugate the others. Mr. President, you might be aware, given your military service history, that in a memo in early February 1969, only nine years after Nigeria’s independence, the IC (Intelligence Community advising the US Government on the Biafran war) asserted that ‘further disintegration of Nigeria was likely’ and that the Western World might have to live with a ‘loose confederation’ or ‘formation of several completely independent countries’. What we Yoruba have now chosen is formation of our own independent Yoruba country separate from Nigeria.

“Mr. President, it is essential to remind you as the president of Nigeria that during the discussions leading to the independence of Nigeria from Britain in the late 1950s, Yoruba leaders at the time strongly advocated for the inclusion of a secession clause in the constitution, but they were overruled by the colonial administration. Thus, right from the onset, the doubt about the different nationalities co-existing in one country was very clearly expressed. Present-day Nigeria amounts essentially to something like forcing the nations of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Belgium together as a country and expecting such a country to function optimally.

“You would remember also, Mr. President, that all the persons who served at the top of Nigeria’s affairs in the formative years of the 1950s and 1960s expressed serious doubts about the wisdom of keeping the many peoples of Nigeria as one country. Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the then foremost Yoruba leader and one of the foremost negotiators of a federal system for Nigeria, wrote at the time that ‘Nigeria is a mere geographical expression - - -” and that ‘if a member of a Federation became predominantly anarchistic, the other members of the Federation should, if they disagreed with such, be able to discontinue their association with the country.’

“Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the man who, as Prime Minister, headed the Nigerian federal government in the years immediately before and after Independence, said on a number of occasions before and after Independence, ‘Since 1914, the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian peoples themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs, and do not show themselves any willingness to unite. Nigerian unity is only a British intention for Nigeria’. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa also once said during a visit to the University College Ibadan in 1964, that the toughest part of Nigeria’s insurmountable problems was the fact that the three largest Black African nations (the Yoruba, Hausa-Fulani and Igbo, each of which should be a separate country) were being forced together in one country. Even Sir Ahmadu Bello, the foremost leader of Northern Nigeria before and after Independence, once described the Amalgamation of 1914 as ‘the mistake of 1914’. In August 1966, General Yakubu Gowon who had, only a few weeks before, become Nigeria’s Military Head of State, made the following very deep statement: ‘Suffice it to say, putting all considerations to test – political, economic, as well as social – the basis for Nigeria’s unity is not there’.

“Even till today, Mr. President, the same kind of wisdom concerning Nigeria continues to be expressed with emphasis by leading Nigerians. For instance, Professor Ango Abdullahi, former Vice-Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, generally respected as the foremost intellectual from Northern Nigeria, said the following in a public interview in 2017, ‘If Nigerians are tired of staying together, they should be prepared to accept divisions instead of remaining in agony and disappointment with one another. - - - We are always talking that the Nigeria state is not working and asking how can we make it work. And if the best option is to call for separate countries, why not?’ In 2020, Alhaji Mohammed Mahdi Shehu, Chairman of Dialogue Group, Kaduna, said that the 1914 Amalgamation was done ‘out of mischief without taking into consideration the peculiarities of Nigeria and that since independence in 1960 Nigeria has stumbled from one form of calamity or tragedy to another. He added that, obviously, not even an angel can ever unite Nigeria.

“He added, ‘It is better for Nigeria to break into smaller, smaller, countries - - - to save properties, lives, relationships and posterity. - - Let us go to the negotiation table, break the Kola, and distribute the country to everybody’s peace. If we do not do it now, the future generations will curse us’. Mr. President, we Yoruba people have now painfully, and upon very careful and deep thinking, concluded that the false hope of unity promoted by the British colonial officials and imposed on all of us at Independence has not been achievable in the past sixty years of Independence. Rather, not only has unity proved impossible to achieve, outright anarchy has taken over. We Yoruba therefore seek to discontinue our association with Nigeria, and to do so in an orderly and peaceful manner.

“As you know, Mr. President, we, the Yoruba, are a well-defined and universally recognized indigenous nation or distinct ethnic group with substantial cultural and linguistic homogeneity. It is a well-known fact that we Yoruba have a rich history of accommodating foreigners and strangers in our homeland and extending to them the respect and protection required of civilized peoples, without prejudice to our rights over our territorial space and culture. Throughout our history in Nigeria, we have always respected and advocated for fundamental freedoms and human rights for all Nigerians and all Nigerian peoples. We are known worldwide for religious tolerance.

“Because we are an ancient civilization with solid modern achievements in education today, and a people with an old tradition of accepting and interacting smoothly and productively with various peoples throughout our history, we can live harmoniously with ethnic and cultural diversity in the same country. But we have painfully concluded that sustained attacks by one ethnic group on us and other ethnic groups in the same country, and a plan of conquest and subjugation by one ethnic group against the other groups in the same country, represent a conclusive negation of the existence and legitimacy of Nigeria. We can no longer bear the pain and indignity of living in constant fear and mourning, like a conquered and subjugated people, in our homeland.

“We can no longer continue to watch as we face the probable extermination of our people through the unprovoked and persistent aggression by another ethnic group with which we are living together in the same country. We have been attacked by heavily armed marauders and militias, who have been invading our homeland for many years from the Northern part of the country of Nigeria to which we belong. These marauders have relentlessly killed our people, destroying farms and villages, raping and killing our women, kidnapping our people, and extorting large amounts of money for ransom. There are no official numbers for our Yoruba people who have been violently killed in these atrocities (because the government shows no real concern about the killings), but a rough estimate of 29, 000 is now generally circulating among us, an estimate which many of our people believe to be too low. (It is important that even the Sultan of Sokoto has once said that the killings across the country are being ‘under-reported’). These atrocities have forced an estimated majority of our farmers to abandon farming altogether – a development that is now pulling our nation down into a devastating famine, and into unimaginable poverty.

“Our people know for sure that the Nigerian government does manifestly command the power and resources for stopping or measurably curtailing the atrocities of the marauders, and our people have therefore concluded that the Nigerian government’s total failure to stop or curtail the atrocities is proof of the government’s collusion with the marauders. Indeed, various proofs of such collusion abound on a regular basis – in police officers’ pointed tolerance of public possession of guns by the marauders and bandits, in police releasing the marauders and bandits even after they have been apprehended while killing and destroying, in government’s discriminatory demands that non-Fulani citizens should surrender to the authorities all guns (even guns that are licensed) while the marauders publicly carry guns, in government’s continual efforts to use legislation fraudulently to grab land for the Fulani across Nigeria.

“We have most painfully watched as our traditionally prosperous Yoruba nation is being impoverished. Unhappily, a significant percentage of our people have become street beggars and scavengers, a practice alien to our cultural heritage.”

The renowned professor also condemned the incessant killings being perpetrated by some criminal elements across the country.

He said, “Nigeria has become so grossly insecure that even you, Mr. President, cannot travel the roads in various parts of Nigeria with complete confidence that you will be safe from attacks by terrorists and bandits along your way.

“Recently, your motorcade on a journey from the Nigerian capital city of Abuja to your home state of Katsina was ambushed by terrorists and bandits, and some cars in the motorcade were damaged while some persons in the cars were killed.”

“In short, Mr. President, in the past seven years, Nigeria has enabled terrorists and bandits to acquire so much clout and confidence that Nigeria is now incapable of controlling them or their activities, as a result of which some foreign countries are now classifying Nigeria as a ‘state sponsor of terror,’” he added.

And APC state. Please show Tinubu some love and donate your hut.

nzeobi:
Time to bring competent technocrats into government, no more square pegs in round holes.

This is the bane of APC. They were too closed minded.

All ye supporters of imbeciles where art thou?

Wike should calm down o.

KingKO22:
We should take back our country and give it to a man who has been part of Nigeria problem jumping from APGA to PDP to LABOUR

Obituarists have caused more problems to Nigerians and he is not the solution to our problems

We all saw what he did in Anambra and we don't expect anything more from him

Obituarists is only good at talking rubbish but he can not condemn the IPOB

A man who cannot condemn the IPOB/Unknown gunmen before election will not be able to fight against them if he becomes president

When will ASUU strike be called off? APC is still the ruling party

Nemesis.

Faber:
If you are clapping for Nnamani, like some persons above me you're a big fool.

Nnamani stole 5billion from Enugu state Treasury.
Outside ESUT what was his achievements
He contested Senatorial seat in 2011 with PDC he formed and failed woefully. Na Mumu Ugwuanyi go bring this one back from retirement. His follow mad man Ekweremadu is now languishing in UK detention

He is now being paid to distract the youths. You're in PDP, you're supporting APC, is that not being anti-party. Man is petty, thank God I no dey Twitter, me and him for slug it out. I know all his Bleep ups from a to z

People don't know why some Igbos didn't not pity Ike Ekweremadu when he was arrested. Time to retire the old fools embarrassing Igbos is now. How many of their mates from other regions are openly disgracing themselves with gen-Z on social media?

yang:
Believe this man at your peril

Chimaroke is a known criminal

Rumor had it that he had a killer squad back in the day

He is supposed to be spending the rest of his days behind jail if Nigeria is not a zoo

He became disobedient immediately someone from his senatorial district picked gubernatorial ticket of labour party. In short the PDP structure has been unsettled since then. Everybody is just watching them dance naked in the public.

mankan2k7:
It is time Nigeria should call family meeting on the Igbo. They are bent on destroying naija image at all costs. We should beg them or plead with them to pity this county. #begigbotoday.

What does Odego mean in Igbo language?

Lol. Nnamani zukwanuike.

NaijaRoyalty:
Nice one

Some foolish and unfortunate Tinubu urchins will soon arrive here to spew rubbish as usual

See below how Tinubu supporters insulted Goodluck Jonathan and his wife in 2013 and 2014, but they get angry when been served the same insults they served others

They have short memory

robinso01:
I don't want to sound tribalist, but it's true that igbo don't really accommodates other none indigenes. But, just because of the Claim of that doesn't mean you won't see one or two other indigenes doing well there. I'm in Anambra and I know what I'm saying, even some igbos from other part of the state always claim this that they find it difficult doing business and works here because the indigenes discriminates against them. I once met an Ebonyi man in viewing center that told me that he prefers to stay in Lagos than this Anambra because the way he's been treated here. My customer within the street is from Enugu, he claimed his shop had been robbed four times and no other shops has that happened to, just because he's not an indigene. This is happening to the same people easterners not to talk of other tribes. The recent Anambra state teachers recruitment that was done of recent, it was written that you might not be selected due to tribe difference. I have igbo friend that said he knows that his tribe is not just opened to other tribes. Look around igbo states and see the numbers of other tribes in the state compared to other regions with the numbers of igbo working there. Though I met 2 or 3 of my tribe here, but in my state, in every 10 people you meet, there's 2 or 3 igbo there. I'd say igbo people are not really opened to other tribe. That's their flaw, the same way other tribes have their own different flaws.

You ended up sounding tribalistic.

Thanks Mr Kolawole. We are voting Peter Obi. This is the same way GEJ was painted as a failure by you paid urchins and we ended up where we are today. Rather than focus on criticising Peter Obi who is miles ahead of who APC presented to Nigerians as the best alternative to PDP misrule, could you spare us the courtesy of explaining what went wrong with APC government to the point we are borrowing to service debts?

festacman:
Suggested conditions for plea bargaining:

- Ahmed Idris should return all the money stolen.
- He should describe fully the loopholes you exploited to steal the money and suggest measures which from your criminal experience will plug the loopholes to avoid future occurrence.
- He should apologize to Nigerians on camera for betrayal.
- He should face two years jail term spent ACTIVELY in Kuje prisons and not in hospital.

Tomorrow the rouge will come back to disturb us as a politician. He should be stripped of every kobo he stole including the money he earned legitimately as punishment for being this greedy.

Agricaddict:
I as a Yoruba muslim will never support anything Igbo, never in my life, those of you seeing PO as Messiah, it will surprise you this man is not what you think he is

Congratulations. Not surprised.

Snake charmer that has not won any election in his life.

NaijaRoyalty:
No one is safe in this country

APC really destroyed this country and for Tinubu to say that he would continue from where Buhari stopped is a threat to my life, my friends and the whole Nigerian people

Affliction shall not rise a second time.

The north has a very big security challenge.

Malory:
No wonder that an Igbo woman is his wife.

He has an open mind. No wonder he rose to the top of his career.

Ddokie:
You sound like someone who is foaming in the mouth or brain.

Firstly, I don't hate Tinubu. I just don't like his brand of politics, and I don't want him to be my president for a lot of valid reasons I honestly don't think you can grasp, because your emotions have successfully suspended your ability to be reasonable.

Secondly, I will like you to provide one thread on NL where you have seen igbos celebrating the failures you mentioned up there save for PO and Abaribe?

He is a yourba Muslim. They have a characteristic way of communication. Always cursing.

robinso01:
And there are thousands of igbo civil servants in South West. So, no big deal here.

It's a big deal because it refutes the claim that igbos do not accommodate none indigenes. He came as a Corp member and has risen to a director. He is from Osun. There are many others too.

Michelle70:
There are 216,855,573 million people in Nigeria which is 100%

Those who have registered in SE is 11,498,277

mathematically

216,866,573 =100%
.: 11,498,277 = 5%

Was the message passed?

No wonder you graduated with 3rd class.

Britishpea:
Until the kindergarten obidients know the influence Asiwaju cuts across the country and borders, they will know that this game is beyond being stentors.

People are waiting for electioneering campaigns before the alignment and public endorsements will start. This is just an eye of the needle for now.
visionary leaders always see better than myopia

Who is Onoh?

JealousCobra:
What will shock him??

There are people that will talk in Enugu that I will take serious not Nnamani, he literally destroyed coal city with his partisan policts, infrastructural development is abysmal.

Mbaka laid curses on him for not paying attention to worker's salaries nd demands, after they massively reelected him in office.

You can verify after his tenure what EFCC did with him?

All this ploys to smear ObiDatti will not work..
#GoAndVerify.

I was referring to Nnamani.

God1000:
Wike should join labour party for his own good

He should go to APC. We want to check something

Exactly!

A vote for Peter Obi is a waste of vote! Instead, sell your vote and use proceeds to eat cat-fish pepper soup with fresh orange juice.

Lol. He will be shocked.

1) Momoh Ojo Abubakar
2) Aliyu Yusuf Itopa
3) Auwal Ishaq Onimisi
4) Idris Ojo
5) Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza (One of the masterminds of the attacks)

Sadly, most of them are from Ebira, Kogi State.

Have they been arrested?

fykes:
Enugu is bordered on multiple sides by all the 4 south east states.

Okigwe in imo state is about 1hrs drive to Enugu state capital, Abakiliki in ebonyi state is also about 50 mins drive.
Awka, Anambra state capital is about 1hr drive from Enugu while, umunneochi Abia state is about 45mins

For access to airport, your best bet is Anambra...although the airport isn't anywhere closer.
But it's the closest to Enugu airport.

Ebonyi is the closest to Enugu airport.
