How do you go about giving people money on their sick bed. How about you pay for medical fees in private. Politicians always playing politics when situations present themselves. I won't be surprised if they were the one that sent the people who opened fire on the church members, so that they can show up with an envelope.

It's not all abt medical bills they need money to feed n attend to other immediate needs too if u ve nothing to say u shut up ur dirty mouth

na only mouth police get, on top of d situation my foot

Attributing this crime to drug war without thorough investigation done by police is lame

richietunes:
oga wisdom sir, this comment of yours shows how dumb you are...how will you feel if anyone says this about your son

Who is this goat pls

Awusa-Fulani i thought they said Western education is evil, he shld join is boko haram brothers in sambisa forest joor

Yawns

And then ? Free d dude abeg

Ijaya123:
Has Kanu named the capital? It could be Benue state, you can never tell.

Benue ke

Ok ooo until Biafra is created sha

Op is a lazy brain

Yaya Bello of kogi state is barely 40 yrs n I can see dt kogi is a paradise nw. Mumu op

Orji uzor Kalu was 38yrs as Governor of abia state n Abia is a paradise abi

Demeji bankole less than 38 as house speaker n he stole mercilessly

Chimaroke Nnamani in 1999 as Governor of Enugu state was 39 yrs n he nearly killed everyone n stole d state dry

Capacity and capability has nothing to do with age, lets vote d right man irrespective of age. Most young ppl in Nigeria care abt nothing but money they will suck the country dry n prove our elders to be learners in looting if voted into office.

Infact political office shld be for ppl b/w 50 n 65 yrs if u ask me. Young ppl shld first prove themselves in a career or business b4 politics.

Our problem is systemic with non functional institutions n agencies of government dt even if u bring an Obama to lead Nigeria it may not work. We need to restructure d country n ve strong laws against corruption

Sure movie

Ijaya123:
When Kanu is from Abia state?

It doesn't matter ojukwu named Enugu capital though he was from Anambra

Bus conductor/ motor park Agboro

silence just bone her, sleep in d palour seeter

Lol

The question is not relevant or shld I ve said kanu's occupation b4 his Biafran struggle is unknown.

He won me over BC he spent 18 months in prison for this struggle. Buhari made him a world legend by arresting n jailing him for over 18 months. Kanu is ready to die for Biafra n dts all dt matters

Ijaya123:
I have another question to the deluded and gullible ipob miscreants, where will the capital of Biafra be located?

Enugu

Micro nonsense

They are second fiddle in everything even the man dt studied Zoology, Botany or pure Biology is preferred than microbiology when it comes to teaching Biology in secondary schools.

Medical laboratory scientists and food scientists/technologist plus environmental scientists ve made those that studied microbiology irrelevant

Joe igbokwe is the chairman of " pigs and idiots"

I dnt blame him he has been eating Ewedu all his life

abacus:
Without arrest and detention, nothing to write of Kanu..

Yes dts what brought him to lime light, he owes his fame to dullardino boooohari

Anyone dt can spend 18 months in prison to free his ppl is an uncommon human being. Ppl like dt comes once in a century got dt. Kanu is only 40yrs (1977) n did most of these in his late 30s.

Kanu is a Prince n was brought up in affluence just like great Ojukwu

NNAMDI KANU CALLED ME A HUNGRY SLAVE RESIDING IN LAGOS AND I HAVE FOUND THE NEED TO TELL MY STORY AGAIN FOR RECORD PURPOSES. I WANT NNAMDI TO TELL HIS OWN STORY TOO. PLEASE READ THIS:

In 1971, after my primary school education, poverty drove me to Lagos to find something to do to help my poor mother and siblings. Civil War devastated my father’s thriving business in Onitsha and we all suffered from 1966 to 1970 when the war ended.

With four wives and 34 children, my parents could not cope any more. My brothers and sisters dropped out of school to learn a trade. Because I was a little ‘sharp’ in school, my father encouraged me to finish primary school. It is needless here to recall how I and few of my siblings survived to finish our primary education. Consequently when my mates were taking Common Entrance Examination, I did not because there was no need to do so. No money, no three square meals a day, no good clothing, just nothing.

My mother encouraged me to travel with friends to Lagos. We landed at Sawmill Ebute Metta where I worked as a sawdust carrier at seven Shilling, six Pence a day. My job was to pack sawdust from the Machines to the Lagoon from 7am to 5 pm daily. I did this for nearly two years and later I became a danfo conductor plying Idioro/Ajegunle axis. From there I joined my brother in a supermarket business at Ijesha Road, Surulere. I did this until I returned home during Christmas in December 1973. I came home to meet my friends I was beating academically in school trying to make me feel and look inferior. Again I also noticed while in Lagos that if I fail to go to school, I may end up doing menial jobs meant for illiterates till the end of age. I decided to go back to school to add values to my life. But where are the school fees? There was nothing. How I managed to get the first school fee to start and what happened thereafter will take a book to do the narrative.

In 1979 I left Okongwu Memorial Grammar School Nnewi with Division One and was the school Head Boy. I taught in the same school as an Auxiliary Teacher from 1979 – 1980. In 1980 I got admission to read Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nigeria Nsukka and graduated in 1985. I did my Youth Service in Ogun State and thereafter I returned to Lagos in 1986 to begin a journey to where I am today. I walked the streets of Lagos from 1986 – 1988 until the then military government headed by Gen Ibrahim Babangida set up the National Directorate of Employment, (NDE) to encourage graduates to start their own businesses. I got a loan of N27,500, using my NYSC discharge Certificate and my Degree Certificate as collateral at 9% interest rate. I set up a Restaurant Business in Western Avenue, Lagos and hit an instant success. While doing this business, I spread my nets also to the auto spare parts market in Lawanson, Surulere where my brother thrives as a very successful importer. I opened a shop there and got a boy to take charge of the business. From there, I entered into Auto dealership in Western Avenue Surulere. I paid back that loan in full and collected back my certificates.

In 1995, I wrote my first book, Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra. I also established National Vision Newspapers in 1997. In 1999, I wrote my second book: Heroes of Democracy. In 2004 I co-authored 2007: The IBB Option with my good friend, Peter Claver Oparah. One thing led to another. I became an opinion molder, a public commentator, political analyst, writer and an advocate of the peoples’ cause. I bought my first car in 1990 and became a millionaire in 1995 after launching of my first book.

In 2006, the then Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made me the pioneer General Manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) and I was there for almost 10 years. I served Asiwaju’s government for the remainder of his days as Lagos Governor. I served His Excellency Governor Babatunde Fashola for 8years. In September 2015, His Excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode moved me to Wharf Landing Fees Collecting Authority Apapa as Chairman. I became the Publicity Secretary AC, ACN, and APC since late 2006 till date. By the grace of God I have been the Chairman of Conference of APC Publicity Secretaries (CAPS) in Nigeria since 2014.

These positions and exploits have put me in the limelight in Lagos and Nigeria since the early 90s, and God has been kind to me. These offices have opened the doors of the rich and poor to me. They have opened the inner ways,byways, subways, expressways and highways to the corridors of power in Nigeria. I have been connected to the pace setters, policy makers, the movers and shakers of blue chip companies, newsmakers and the powers that be in Lagos. The magic of Lagos, the beauty of Lagos, the dynamics of Lagos, the glory of Lagos, the momentum of Lagos, the capacity, capability and the strength of Lagos touched me in no uncertain terms since 1986 (32years ago) till date…..and still counting.

My sojourn in Lagos for 32 years has also opened my eyes as a historian as to what Lagos has done for my people from South East. Today as I write this Igbo do not have a quarter of what they have in Lagos in the South East in terms of investments. As I write this book, Igbo are the second most populous ethnic group in Lagos. Today, Igbo exert tremendous influence and capacity in Lagos and its success story. Few years back two prominent sons of Nnewi told me in confidence that they did not know they have been wasting their time in Nnewi until they came to Lagos. They said Lagos opened doors for limitless opportunities and endless possibilities. I have seen people come from other parts of Nigeria to hit gold mine in Lagos.

I got married in 1990 and all my five kids are all Lagosians and so are millions of Igbo kids born in Lagos. They have lived most of their lives in Lagos, schooled in Lagos, worked in Lagos, made friends in Lagos and have keyed to the Lagos success story. They know any other place except Lagos. Lagos is their home. This is not limited to Igbo alone but all other ethnic groups and of course Yoruba from outside Lagos. Lagos is a melting pot, a mega city, a cosmopolitan beehive. Lagos controls the heartbeat of Nigeria, its wealth, its influence and its strategic socio-economic and political hub. Lagos changed my thinking and original thoughts, Lagos emboldened me, Lagos motivated me, Lagos challenged me and Lagos made me. I can say no less. This is the story of Lagos, my Lagos. It is still unraveling, not for me alone but millions of other Nigerians, to the glory of God."

Joe u r one of the idiots n pigs answering Biafra name but fighting Biafra

Nnamdi Kanu is nt ur level he wants to engage intellectuals not idiots n pigs

coolhamid:

mkoabiola:
Am wondering why the so called ipob leader,Nnamdi KANU has not be rearrested respited flaunting one of d bail condition,
As one of the bail condition ,he was told by the court not to be seen in a gathering of more than 10 people but as of today,he is addressing crowd and making hate speeches.
When will he be rearrested to douse the tension in the country especially the south east.

Fine things are going fine but I am still looking for more better life. Need to save a lot in order to achieve my dream.. A friend borrowed $400 like 2 years ago, he never even talked about it. I have dodged others but this particular person has been on my neck for months now. He needs N500,000 .. Just imagine..

My problem now is " Never lend money you can't afford to lose" . N500,000 no be wasa.. How should I handle the situation without hurting his feeling cos I am not even sure of lending N100,000 talkess of N500,000
