Nwodo is asking Igbos to repatriate home and invest in Igboland, not elsewhere. Meanwhile he has invested in land in Ogun State to build a business plaza. What's wrong with Ibos and bad leadership?

Is Ogun State Igboland?

HAUSA CORPER FLOGS BOY FOR WRITING ‘BIAFRA BOY’ IN HIS NOTEBOOK.

BY AYOMIDE JUMS · NOVEMBER 22, 2016

There was trouble at Nkpor, Anambra state as a school boy was beaten to stupor for writing the phrase ‘Biafra boy’ in his textbook.

According to a report exclusively gathered by an Ebony tv news reporter, the incidence occurs in Ideal Minds foundation secondary school, nkpor anambra state.

The school boy who was fanatical about Biafra wrote ‘BIAFRA BOY” in his student textbook, and submitted his class work to a Hausa corper drafted to the school to complete his one year mandated National Youth Service Corps.

The corper was said to be so fierce and angry with what the boy wrote and immediately drags him to the principals office where the boy was said to have receives 21 strokes of the cane.

All efforts to speak with the principal of the school by the Ebony tv reporters proved abortive as staffs of the school refuses to comment on the issue.

Reacting to this incidence, the residence of Nkpor says this is an intimidation of the highest order.

A person who was interviewed but declined to be named says that this kind of a thing will never happen in the North. If it where in the North, the principal and the corper would have been burnt alive by now.

We encourage all current serving Corpers and about-to-serve corpers to ensure they are aware of every individuals basic human rights and respect anyone they come across with

Who supported who and what has nothing to do with what transpired, it was more about due process, party rules and guidelines.

Ignoring the party's rulings and bylaws and picking a candidate to represent the part after the legally constituted party committee called for fresh elections was fraudulent, gross rigging and impositions apart from assault on the party's integrity which is now in question.

Exactly! APC is going to die not because of Tinubu but because of irreparable damages done back to back by the incompetencies calling themselves Abuja.

Saraki and Dogara disobeyed the party they failed to correct it. They failed in Kogi to exercise the rule of succession and put the deputy in after Audu died. They failed in Ambassadorial appointments and denied their own Governors the opportunity to fortify base and grassroot support. They appointed strange people unknown and outside the caucus of political base. When you have people standing by a Governor through thick and thin when oppoertunity come to appreciate you do so, first to them, before you go out to the distant crowd. Wtf! APC is just top-dumb!! .....and now they have gone against BoT and usurped power against process in Ondo.

QuotaSystem:


I'm well aware.

So who is Akeredolu in the sphere of Tinubu's political circle "of influence"?

Tinubu churns out greatness, he takes a hopeless grunt thrown at the back office of a dead end law practice and puts them in line for political success. Then they become successful and are now talking about he is overbearing. Didnt his @$$ feel Tinubu's over bearing demeanour as he cleared path for his political ascension? Why didnt they complain about Tinubu long before now? Ungrateful bast@rd$.

You know what? I even see some reporting that Abuja won over Tinubu.

Really? Abuja can never win over Tinubu. Never ever! How quick you all forget about Obj and Gej.

Gej shut Obj endorsed candidates out. Some people hailed him then and said Obj is finished, Jonathan is the political don on the scene, Obj should pack it up. Where is Gej now? Look at Obasanjo, how has Gej's action back then dented the influence and power Baba carry?

Look, if Buhari die today or become incapable to rule,do you know what CPC will do to Fashola, Fayemi and Akeredolu? They cant touch Tinubu cause they are scared of him...but they will turn these Yoruba men out of their ministries and give to small boy just finishing his post graduate study in Islamic Jurisprudence. Its the fact. These guys will go off the limb far enough that they cant run back fast enough to the safety net when Buhari pack up.

QuotaSystem:


I'm quite sure you're aware you're not speaking to a toddler.

If Tinubu did not support Oke's candidacy (AD), why all the grievances at Aketi's emergence? Shouldn't APC's victory be a cause for celebration by Tinubu and his supporters?

Can you also outline what Tinubu did in support of his party's candidate?

Kindly ferry your juvenile shenanigans elsewhere.

In fact Akeredolu was mentored into political limelight by Tinubu. How many of you know that?

Godprotectigbos:
i just they pit tinubu

Were! Wetin concern Tinubu with this power project nau?

Politics is an innate culture to Yoruba, second to our nature. Aimed at winning our focus become so caustic that we become like the proverbial aguntan whose hunger for sweet flowers is an instinctive passion that blinds him, under impulse he marches all over the pile of fine china ahead and causes destruction and loss.

Why do we find it so easy, at the meet of a human barrier in our political stride, to change loyalty? Stories abound all over Yorubaland, and in every state, of political candidates that shifted loyalty from their platform to opposition because of what they thought is an easy path around obstacles blocking them from victory. With so many jumps inbetween the loosing party and the gaining party end up in competition for winning offices, rathern than serving the people. This is why Yorubaland is not moving forward with ideas and political supremacy, in spite of the many assets and infrastuctures to our credit. We are simply not commanding the political landscape in tune with our social values.

We need a critical review of events leading to loss of Ilorin. How and why did communication between Alaafin and Afonja break down? If we can begin to manage communication between conflict points we should get a good result in unification of purpose and vision and thus mitigate painful and irreversible losses.


On the ongoing issue with Tinubu the underlying problem has to do with concessions.

No doubt we have had many great leaders in Yorubaland, Tinubu leadership comes with a new flavour that matches nicely into the challenges of modern Nigeria. The single challenge facing Nigerian ethnics is self-preservation. Any region that refuses to nurture and manage its domain with strategic policies for sustainability will end up in a struggle to save it from ruin and neglect. Today in Nigeria Yorubaland is an exception to the overall ruin and neglect witnessed in other regions. This is made so courtesy of Tinubu and his graduating corps of administrators. His vision is to produce a cadre of public administrators deployed in abundance across Yorubaland to mirror and achieve in their own states what he achieved for Lagos. These administrators in turn become mentors like him to raise their own sets of managers to help build and sustain our urbane culture and values.

Under ACN, an incoming governor meets the outgoing, they shake right hands, the outgoing stretches out his left hand and passes the "blueprint" to the incoming. The transition is complete, simple! No administrator comes into office twiddling thumb wondering where to begin....its contained in the blueprint. He adds his own in the course of accumulating exposure and strength. When he leaves the blueprint he passes on is more enriched with Best Practices than the one he inherits.

Another part of Tinubu's vision is tenure. Four years is insufficient amount of time for a governor to exercise and deliver on the principles we Yorubas hold dear in our society, each governor is therefore strenghtened by the party to serve an eight year full term. The exception has been Fayemi. He took his eyes off the ball.


In discussions leading to the merger of ACN with other parties into APC Tinubu got far more concessions than others because ACN was the only party in the alliance with the broadest ruling power and acceptance. In terms of delivery his voting bloc has the brightest opportunity to change destiny. Most of those concessions were geared towards protectivism for West. Tinubus forehead would almost touch his knees when he bowed to Buhari....but when the meeting ended himself and Baba Akande left with pockets overflowing in political goodies.

Tinubu had to relinquish some of these priviledges when it became expedient to do so. For instance in the absorption of renegade PDP governors and senators that crossed and came to APC. He had to ask some of his stewards to yield state leadership and allow the incoming PDP governor senator to take leadership. This was not the plan going in but this is the strategy of changing destiny. Kwara state, Kogi state, Adamawa state and Kano state were badly impacted by this decision. Tinubu showed flexibility in leadership.

In the APC primary, held in Lagos, Tinubu was able to win some more concessions for Yoruba states.

The CPC wing of APC did not believe Buhari could win after trying and failing for a decade and a half. Buhari himself did not believe in a win and was more fortified with plans for break down of law and order than he was of a plan to rule the country. This laxity in strategy and confidence was exposed in his wobbly decisions after taking office. In that interim CPC came to realization that they came out short in the negotiation for merger and also in primary. The Yorubas are sitting on a administration that was won by North. So they plotted to chip away at the Yoruba advantages.

The Saraki/Ekweremadu and Dogara/Lasun caught the President by surprise but not Tinubu. He knew where that enemy came from...CPC.

Then he was betrayed again in Kogi election. He had intended to reward in Kogi those who stood by APC when PDP deserters were brought in to head leadership. So he felt bad that one after the other his words and promises to loyalists are not holding because a new column inside the party was undermining him.

The Northerners were the first to cry out that Buhari was being manipulated. Then his wife cried out.

In Ondo, primary was rigged in favor of Akeredolu. The party's own BoT looked into the issue and agreed and obtained commitments from party chairman, Oyegun and the candidates to redo primary. Oyegun then came out, in disregard for his own BoT to say there will not be another primary and Akeredolu is the party candidate. Im not sure Oyegun gave thought into the consequences of that action. Tinubu was furious! Beside the damage done by Oyegun's action, Ondo is Yoruba state. This is his concession. Why are they robbing him of agreements commited to at the merger and the primary?

Fayemi and Fashola on their end are reacting to pressures. Northerners have sent letters to Buhari to call Fayemi to order. He is accused of stepping over civil servants of Northern background to put his Yoruba people in lucrative positions. This is not true but its a strategic pressure point to give the apperance of incompetence and then an imminent loss of his job. In reaction he allies with the Abuja group to pacify their fears.

Fashola has also heard from the Northerners who highlited that they have the largest land area and thus highest need for electricity and they are not sure he can meet their needs. In other words, your are a minister of power for the southern states. Isnt that crazy? To make their claim a reality they went ahead and contracted GE to build five feeders for power generation and distribution in North. Where will the money from?
Remember VAT and NE Recovery and Development fand?

So Fayemi and Fashola are only acting in self preservation...but how about the VP who remains steadfastly with Tinubu? Like Aisha Buhari, the VP is on the ground to see what is happening in the Presidency. He sees it all, and steers clear of it. He was not appointed, he was voted in and his job is statutorily protected. He can tell the columnists to fvk off if he chooses and thrre is nothing they can do to his job. Fayemi and Fashola were appointed and can be fired....moreover, they are not in Aso Rock to witness the maneuvres but they understand why and where the Northern pressure on them is coming from.

There is nothing in the Presidency for Tinubu to loose, its not his administration....but there is plenty for him to loose in Yoruba States. So I say to my fellow Yorubas, those cheering and jubilating Tinubu loss and his humiliatiin, you are jubilating loss and humiliation of Yoruba states. Our states collectively are a higher political heirarchy than any individual component state or administration and far above status of Tinubu, Akeredolu, Fashola, Fayemi or Buhari.

This id not Abuja vs Lagos, this is not Tinubu vs Akeredolu or Buhari.....this is CPC vs ACN and their intent to weaken our political gains, a calculation into permanence and complete eradication of any idea or agenda championed by Yoruba to restructure Nigeria.

Take heed and stop feeding an imaginary battle line within. The true battle line is outside and from North.

It appears they were carrying flammables or some chemically unstable materials. They were coming from Asaba, possibly heading to Abuja.

Nigeria ke, you mean NorthWest Nigeria.

omonnakoda:


We are being told to believe that this whole ancestry story was made up because of Biafra

BIafra itself is a borrowed name from the coastal Ijaws.

Thank you for your clarifications here jare.

SillyMods:

What has Akeredolu done wrong so far? Contesting an election against Tinubu or by having the president's support?

Was Akeredolu not Tinubu's candidate in 2012?

The problem with some of you guys is believing that Tinubu is always right.

Well, it's not too late to swallow some pride and mend fences with PMB and APC. I don't see any other good option for him as things are because more than ever, votes now count. And majority of the electorate are moving away from "baba so pe" politics of godfatherism.

Its simple!

Fayemi and Fashola are pushing what appears to be APC agenda but in truth are CPC doctrines for West.

Tinubu is steadfastly pushing his ACN doctrines of protecting the West and giving Yorubas a self governance that is not FG dependent.

Khd95:
i heard fayose,governor general of the opposition wailing confederate wants to change platform in 2018.


Pdp how market nau

We have heard of a new political direction in SW and is getting ready to take shape.

kcnwaigbo:

My dear Tinubu is finished politically!!!!It has begun in ondo,Amosun and Ajimobi will soon give him the booth

And if they don't....

SillyMods:
Tinubu brought this on himself.

He's too overbearing and domineering, which if not put under control will cause him more loss of influence.

Can anyone imagine Tinubu romancing with Fayose just because you lost out in Ondo and a few other places!

Well, those the gods want to destroy, he first makes them mad.

Ok here comes the conjectures!

How did he romance with Fayose?

Whynotthetruth:
It is getting to that period in Nigeria diary when politicians are out of their wits, trying to outdo themselves in convincing Nigerians to their side. Nigeria is a UNIQUE country in that EVERY decision is analyzed, weighed, accepted or rejected after going through three(3)distinct criteria;
... Religion
... Ethnicity
... Political Party
These trio criteria has also ensured that Nigeria has never reached her potentials and won't attain such if she doesn't look at individuals beyond these myopic lens.

ATIKU Abubakar is by no means a saint but stands out among the Northerners to be considered for presidency given his not being contaminated or hindered by these myopic criteria in his dealings so far. Some other outstanding factors for which I feel ATIKU is among the best candidates from North include;

1) Exposure, Experience and Expertise:
ATIKU has proved himself worthy of emulation in several, different and diverse sectors. He rose to echelon of service as a Custom's Officer. As an Entrepreneur, he has broken bounds and achieved uncommon success. And as Public servant, led successfully the privatisation exercise of government as anchored by BPE, alongside other assignments as Nigeria Vice President between 1999-2007.

2) Extremism & Extremists Views:
ATIKU seems liberal in his views and his continued support for decentralization of government which most northeners don't support make him to stand out as a man with a mind of his own. Who also considers the views of his neighbor's in taking decision and not necessarily selfish decisions always. Fanatics and extremists have done Nigeria more harm than good.

3) Leadership Quality;
A journey through his successful career will put flower to this point. He has succeeded both in personal, public, and organizational leadership positions.

4) CORRUPTION TAG;
It is a fact that this tag came to life when he challenged the unwholesome appetite for power by his then boss; Obj .Nuhu Ribadu who led the onslaught against ATIKU then has not denied begging ATIKU for forgiveness for wrongful accusation.
US government has declared through some recent publication of having no case file against him as against public perception. With no court conviction against him with regard to corruption and looting of Treasury, we can assume him innocent in that regards.


5) ECONOMIC BLUEPRINT;
Any avid follower of APC primary election in 2015 will agree with me that ATIKU Abubakar was the ONLY APC presidential candidate with VERITABLE, VERIFIABLE, & VIABLE economic blueprint . He has always being ready for the job with his simple, concise and implementable blueprints.

There could be other good products from the North yet to declare open their interest but in all, ATIKU is a FAR UPGRADE on a country that could tolerate a Buhari presidency.

Thanks and God bless us all...

Tell Atiku lnot to waste his money anymore. Since 1993 he has been trying and still not get the Presidency. What ideals and visions does he have for this country that he is hell bent on becoming President bh fire by force? Whatever it is he needs to share with our currentgovernment so they can review it for best practice integration.

He needs to give it up.

Let people like Adesina come forward, Soludo come forward, tell that Governor in Jigawa, Abubakar to come forward, Fashola, ....these are people we need now.


If you need someone from North Governor Abubakar of Jigawa is definitely my choice. He was a multi millionaire long before becoming Governor. He does not sound his own trumpet but that guy is doing so much for his people that of all the people in North Jigawa are the only ones content and making progress. He talks less and work more. Not only that, you dont see him parading up and down everytime a King is having birthday or celebrating anniversary or burying their mother. Instead of showing face everywhere he delegates his commissioners and empowers them to represent and do their job. Ive been watching him and I love what he is doing. Great man, family man, good model! One of his daughters got married recently nobody even knew. Thats how government is supposed to be. Everytime Atiku marry off one of his children the whole airwave is filled. Tell Atiku get the fvk off!

Thats the same member that in 2014 when PDPprogressives were locked out of National Assembly, with Dino Melaye and a host of others climbed the fence to gain access and then went on to trash the assembly.
He was big then but even bigger now.

omonnakoda:
Well we first have to define what is Ibo

Arabs bear Ibrahim and Jews bear Abraham,Solomon Suleiman and so on. So rather than say they are "Ibo names" Ikwerre can claim they are Ikwerre names appropriated by Ibos. What makes the names Ibo? because Ibo are more?. There is no logic to that .
There is also another hypothesis that both groups have the same origin but are distinct and the names come from that earlier origin.
The other thing is Language has very little to do with origin.
The fact that most of the SW speak Yoruba does not mean they have the same origin or ancestors.
The vast majority of North Africa now speak some variant of Arabic but they are not really Arabs ethnically
Certainly Egyptians are not Arabs but many have now forgotten that

Very cogent! I cant argue this.

Good luck to Ibo and Ikwerre.

Her recommendations do not work for our country. If they did she would have implemented them herself. Go and see if they need her help in Kenya.

Omonna,
Educate me on their history. Who are the Ikwerres, ethnicwise?

omonnakoda:
Why did you think that?

In all Ikwerre names Ive seen Im yet to see one that is not Ibo. You cannot pronounce Ibo name and with sense and meaning unless the tongue is also Ibo speaking or proto Ibo.

If Ikwerre is going to reject a Bible written in Ibo because they claim they are not Ibos, in all fairness they should also reject Ibo language. Find a new language thats not Ibo. Find new names so Im not confused if im speaking to the Ibo Obinna or Ikwerre Obinna.

Find new customs. If all the indigenous customs native to that land is Ibo then its either Ikwerre is Ibo or they wiped out the native Ibo they met on that land, a situation parallel to Hausa extermination by a non-Hausa tribe who assimilated into the customs but retains its ethnic distinction.

omonnakoda:

The Ikwerre Bible is not a plan but a reality and it is published in the Ikwerre language

I thought Ikwerre speak a dialect of Ibo.
