In the regional government you are craving now,

Was it not akintola and awolowo that nearly burnt down the whole Western region in their usual roforofo fights that killed many?

My friend, stop acting sanctimonious about anything, we know you guys for the chameleons yo all are.

The regional arrangement remains the best ,in a multi diverse country,it so in Ghana, southafrica,Kenya,use,great Britain etc.it is only in communist countries you centralize like this ,not in a multi lingual ,tribal and religious country.

You know zik was always a chameleon who was jealous and made sure they hang up against awolowo.

SLAP44:
@ bolded words of yours is why Igbos are not coming out to jump up and down like agberos asking for tribal presidency. Sums up the uselessness of this topic.

Igbos are not the most educated in Nigeria and you know that ,your literacy rate is high among women and low among men and you cannot compare the output from yorubaland.more doctors, engineers etc.

SLAP44:
Igbo unitary government made you guys be hunting for fresh and dry skulls?

Tell us another lie joo

Yes ,in a decentralized system, you will have employment offices,social security for people,free education and healthcare ,once you have the basics ,you will never think evil in any way.all government jobs in yorubaland have igbos and hausas working ,so this smart ,intelligent yorubas guys do not have options expect a visa or other methods for survival.

SLAP44:
It will take your people another 100 years before they develop the balls to throw stones. You have capitulated. , just pushovers.

Throwing stones at people that were trained to kill people does not make sense.all I we the world ,the most educated people are always very reserved and calculative and they don't act based on emotions.education helps the mind to act differently when compared to the uneducated.

SLAP44:
I think the immediate present should concern you more.

The number of poor beggars are on the increase across yorubaland

the attacks by herdsmen has displaced strong farmers like falae and others from farming

The natural disasters like flooding is washing away most parts of ogun and lagos

badoo has taken over ikorodu

head cutting and skull mining is more lucrative than oil company jobs in the SW

live in the present and stop crying for peaceful regions.

These you have mentioned is the result of unitrary system of government ,created by igbos to steal from other people.this is what centralization brings .yoruba land is rich and can take care of 60million yorubas.you people keep moving on a daily basis to Yoruba land for survival.

NaijaRoyalty:
What have you got to say on the 3 bullion vans that drove into Tinubu house on the eve before Presidential election ?

A thief like Tinubu will never rule this country .

Did you see the contents and is it your money?have any court proved him guilty?you think he his so stupid to engage in ilegality?this guy invested in Nigeria .it's not your business or money.

SLAP44:
Ibadan and abakeleke
Who's living better here

It has the best healthcare system in Nigeria with a reputable university ,which is rated number 1in Nigeria.

SLAP44:
Ask that the country be balkanized so that every one will contain their madness in their own region.

When will you people grow such balls?

You know you guys don't have strategy,you were throwing stones at soliders during operation python dance,you know that was sucide.we have all be surrounded and you need to use your brain to reduce casuality,not just emotions like you igbos do.

SLAP44:
"Sometimes, choosing to do nothing is a grand strategy" - Achike Udenwa, 2007.

doing nothing with free money ,cannot be a strategy,it's an opportunity ,because you don't earn the money you receive monthly in all you states .so you get free money generated from other places .so you can reach a mileage in development and when biafra comes,you don't need airports,railway,schools etc.you will focus on newer development.

SLAP44:
Stop foaming in the mouth, say one thing at a time.

Breathe in, out.

What were you saying?

that is it ,you mentioned the roof top of houses,it does not measure living standards.

SLAP44:
Crying more than the writer of the article. Wipe your tears and live in the moment. Buharri is still in power or are you trying to throw him out for osinbajo.

They know it is inevitable , restructuring will come,igbos don't want it.this guys know and they have opened a dry port,a train link ,and massive road connections,but your people are busy hating tinubu without anything to show.anambra home to inewi market generated only 10billion .That is your power house .

SLAP44:
Mind your front, keep chasing presidency after Obasanjo and Osibanjo, keep thinking that's what will change the roof colour of Ibadan or resettle the millions of poor beggers in Abeokuta.

You igbos destroyed a beautiful system and development is meaured by industries,education,healthcare, not the roof top of a house.India has one of the biggest slums in the world yet,it is an emerging markets country and fastest growing .in igbo land you have forest ,no development ,low GDP etc.

mightyhaze:
wipe your tears after that long wail and join hands on deck for an igbo presidency.. thats the only just thing to do...

your people cant be the only ones qualified to rule the country. for any professor ur people have,igbos should have like 4 or more. for every competent hand in yoruba land,be assured there are atleast 5 in igboland,..so shun primordial selfish and greedy tendencies

Did you read the article,he author said he his confused and don't know what you want,yorubas don't need presidency,we need restructuring of this system that was damaged and rearranged by igbos.a restructured Nigeria with a premier of yorubaland will be a powerful post that comes with enormous resources.what is president of Nigeria?making your people retrogressive ,and backward with a unitary system.

SLAP44:
Who's begging for positions apart from yoruba who's main headache now is that igbos don't want to struggle for presidency that's 4 years away.

Una no get work?

Yourubas are not looking for presidency for the sake of it,the approach is to capture power and do what you want to do with it.you are agitating for restructuring and your strategy is zero,seat at home?vote atiku sealed and delivered?baifra with ijaws,ibibios,etc.you want to continue to waste our time with your zero strategy.

NaijaRoyalty:
So tinubu and his Yoruba slaves are the ones to restructure this country ?

So want him to corner Nigeria the way he cornered Lagos and the entire South West ?

The first man to talk about independent power plant
The guy that created additional local government from 20 to 57.
The man that increased the revenues of Lagos from 600m to 40billion monthly.
Is that not re organization ,is that not restructuring at the state and local government levels.what have you guys done differently?

SLAP44:
Yoruba agree to dissolve this country? A yam will first grow eyes and mouth

You have never been in opposition before and even in the present dispensation you are begging for positions.yorubas have always used their brains not emotions like you.we always ask for restructuring.

NaijaRoyalty:
Yoruba people are one of the major problems of this country so let the north continue to rule if the south east aren't ready .

Ibos are the major problem ,and you have continue to be in denial.dont you think time is going and we need to restructure or dissolve the country into pieces.

NaijaRoyalty:
It's better that a northerner rules than Tinubu or his Yoruba boys rule this country .

You are short sighted and cannot see ,this country will be restructured,I know you don't like it and preventing it and does people that can make it possible,you also don't like them.

The Federal Government says it may downgrade Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu from handling international operations because of its inability to expand the runway.

Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, disclosed this at the 6th Aviation Stakeholders’ Forum in Lagos on Friday.

Sirika said there were some developments around the airport that posed security and safety threat to flight operations, adding that effort was on to address the challenges.

According to him, the state government decided to situate its free trade zone, market and radio mast too close to the runway, which is against international safety standard.

“We have some issues there and I have met the governor three times to discuss the issue.

“As you approach Enugu, there is a market there, there is an abattoir and at the end of the runway, there is a free trade zone and as you know, Enugu is the Kaduna of the East.

“A lot of passengers from the eastern part of the country travel through Enugu airport.”

The minister said that unless the market and the mast are removed, the government would have no option but to discontinue international flights to the airport.

The Yoruba deserve 2023 presidency, the Igbo are not a serious people
Fredrick Nwabufo in Top StoriesViewpoint
There is nothing as fatal as a blow from a “consanguineal fist”. A cut from a “sibling” hurts deeper than that from a stranger. I have been inflicted severe cuts – caustic verbal attacks – by some Igbo persons for advocating a president of Igbo extraction in 2023. While some of them are irritated by the attention that I have been able to generate for the cause, a few others see the “advocacy” as a means of cutting deals for filthy lucre.

The fiercest opposition to the cause, “president of Igbo extraction in 2023”, has been the people for which it is championed – the Igbo. While some of my kinsmen argued that they want restructuring and not the presidency, a great number of them say that they only want to “secure Igbo-land economically, politically and security-wise.” But when you ask them, how they intend to actualise these “dreams”, they just let off inchoate pieces of babble. As a matter of fact, most of these objurgators are just fortune seekers pinning and angling to benefit from “anything Igbo.”

I recall when Ifeanyi Uba, senator-elect, Anambra South, was trying to make an inroad into the fold of the dominant party at the national assembly, he was brutally hacked down with vicious criticisms by his own people. I have reflected pensively on what the Igbo political agenda could be, but at every point I become sectioned with a brain gay. What do the Igbo really want?

I have written a couple of essays, expounding the reasons the Igbo deserve the 2023 presidency and why all Nigerians of dispassionate interest and untainted conscience must support the group in actualising this noble goal. I still believe, for the sake national cohesion, the southeast region deserves a shot at the presidency. But it appears they are not ready for it.

In my essay, ‘With Buhari’s 4+4, Igbo presidency in 2023 is now non-negotiable’, I wrote: “I believe healing will begin for Nigerians when political justice is seen to have been done to all. At that point we can build a country defiant to disunity. But political justice must be done to all to get to this stage.”

However, I failed to add: “Political justice must be demanded when it is not given”. How can justice be done to a people who have resigned to hopeless fate? How can a people who are stuck in political stasis be called to the table for negotiations? How can a people who are on the path of no certain destination be taken seriously?

Really, I was surprised at the reactions to the essay by most Nigerians from the north and the south-west. I have messages from reputable Nigerians across ethnic divides in my phone log, telling me that it will be grave injustice if the Igbo are schemed out of the 2023 presidential race. I remember one retired general asked at the end of his message to me, “But what is the southeast doing about the 2023 presidency?” I only responded with a “smiley OMG”. But the answer to that is, “nothing; just whining, blowing hot air, fantasising about restructuring and mouthing off about Biafra”.

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. I can see the southwest positioning itself strategically and making the necessary noise and calculated connections for a 2023 presidential bid. I cannot begrudge a people who are resolute about what they want, and who are, most importantly, feisty about their destiny. The cake will certainly be taken by a fiercer cat; it will not be handed to a gutless kitten.

You can demand political justice when it is not given; injustice only persists because you allow it.

Suspect
Edit
Ibrahim B. Haruna has sometimes been named as the officer who ordered the massacre, following a report of his testimony to the Nigerian Human Rights Violations Investigations Commission, known as the Oputa Panel.[1] This article quoted him as claiming responsibility (as the commanding officer) and having no apology for the atrocity. However, Haruna was not present in Asaba in 1967. He replaced Murtala Muhammed as C.O. of the Second Division in spring 1968. While there are no eye-witness reports of Muhammed ordering the killings, he was the Commander in the field, and thus must bear responsibility.

In October, 2017, the Asaba community marked the 50th anniversary of the massacres with a two-day commemoration, during which the new, comprehensive book on the massacre, its causes, consequences, and legacy, was launched: "The Asaba Massacre: Trauma, Memory, and the Nigerian Civil War," by S. Elizabeth Bird and Fraser Ottanelli (Cambridge University Press). This book, which draws on interviews with survivors and military and government figures, as well as archival sources, discusses how and why the massacres happened, and the impact of this community trauma, decades after the event.

Massacre
Edit
The Federal troops entered Asaba around October 5, and began ransacking houses and killing civilians, claiming they were Biafran sympathisers. Reports suggest that several hundred may have been killed individually and in groups at various locations in the town. Leaders summoned the townspeople to assemble on the morning of October 7, hoping to end the violence through a show of support for "One Nigeria." Hundreds of men, women, and children, many wearing the ceremonial akwa ocha (white) attire paraded along the main street, singing, dancing, and chanting "One Nigeria." At a junction, men and teenage boys were separated from women and young children, and gathered in an open square at Ogbe-Osowa village. Federal troops revealed machine guns, and orders were given, reportedly by Second-in-Command, Maj. Ibrahim Taiwo, to open fire. It is estimated that more than 700 men and boys were killed, some as young as 12 years old, in addition to many more killed in the preceding days.

The bodies of some victims were retrieved by family members and buried at home. But most were buried in mass graves, without appropriate ceremony. Many extended families lost dozens of men and boys. Federal troops occupied Asaba for many months, during which time most of the town was destroyed, many women and girls were raped or forcibly "married," and large numbers of citizens fled, often not returning until the war ended in 1970. The total death toll during early October was in excess of 1,000, although the exact numbers will likely never be known.

In August 1967, three months into the Biafran War, Biafran troops invaded the Midwest Region, to the west of the River Niger. They spread west, taking Benin City and reaching as far as Ore, where they were pushed back by the Nigerian Second Division, under the command of Col. Murtala Muhammed.

The Federal troops gained the upper hand, and forced the Biafrans back to the Niger, where they crossed the bridge back into the Biafran city of Onitsha, which lies directly across from Asaba. The Biafrans blew up the eastern spans of the bridge, so that the Federal troops were unable to pursue them.
