Racoon:
I guess those "Few Nigerians Holding Most Of Nigeria’s Wealth" this hypocrite is talking about are mainly himself, close family members, aides, cronies(Gandollar, Abba Kyari, former NHIS sec etc) many of the criminals turned saints in the APC today & the fella that was arrested and deported from Hearthrow recently.

kettykin:
One can only imagine why APC Members who has been going around with the campaign Slogan of change and Next Level , with prominent Pastors in their Midst not ensure Fair Play in the Party and select an Igbo man to fly the flag for 2023.

For the benefit of dispute , they can select Ogbonnaya Onu who is a buhari Loyalist and a first class chemical Engineer to fly the flag, other people are Allen Onyema who has sacrificed for the well being of Nigerians in Diaspora but who is not a politician .
Others include Chris Ngige , Joe Igbokwe, Oji Kalu , Rochas Okorocha etc.

If igbos in the South East are not enough then Igbos in the South South come be chosen amongst whom are Rotimi Amaechi, Patric Utomi , the present Governor of CBN , the former Minister of petroleum etc


While will pastors be the people to deny igbos a fair deal in Nigeria

*DESIGNATED TOLL GATE POINTS ACROSS NIGERIA*

-South-East 56 Toll Gates
-South-South 21 TollGate
-South-West 22 Toll Gates
-North-Central 14 Toll Gates
-North-West 12 Toll Gates
-North-East 9 Toll Gates

Why this rude insult to Nd'Igbo?
2. We MUST have to resist this.
3. We demand emergency meeting of South-East Governors
*Rt Hon Chuma Nzeribe*

1. 5 states of SE with 56 toll gates

2. 7 states of NW with 12 toll gates

3. 6 states of NE with 9 toll gates

4. 6 states of NC with 14 toll gates
*Total toll gates in the 19 states of the north are* = 35

Irony of the who thing is that SE with only 5 states have more toll gates ( *56* ) than the entire 19 states of the North with 35 toll gates - higher with and by 21 toll gates. Who then can say that SE is not under siege and properly exploited. SE has more police checkpoints than any other region in Nigeria. SE has the greatest numbers of dilapidated road networks than any other region.

5. 6 states of SS with 21 toll gates = 99 toll gates

6. 6 states of SW with 22 toll gates

7. 5 states of the SE with 56 toll gates
*Total number of toll gates in the South* = *99*

South = 99
North = 35
Difference = *64*

The north claims to have the highest population and yet, will pay the lowest of the toll gate fees.

God bless Nigeria

How is this news for God sake? So we are talking about 2023 in 2019? This must be a joke

We all knew that the closure was a serious SABOTAGE to the Igbo zone by the corrupt elements of state in Nigeria.... They are indeed forcing the sun to rise quicker than expected

LegendHero:
Lol, @the bold statement, you are a defeated entity in Nigeria, you can’t even summon an iota of courage to contest in 2023 under PDP that you swore allegiance to.

The worst thing with Yoruba is that ALWAYS assume they are smarter than everybody else

Why should Igbo contest in PDP and not APC? So Yoruba is good to contest in APC but not Igbo?
APC should give it's Presidential candidacy in 2023 to Rotimi Amaechi! Afterall, he has contributed more than any person in APC today.

LegendHero:
Lol, I’ve always told people, the Igbos are the biggest set of cowards ever known to mankind. You’ve been defeated psychologically and you are the definition of the empty vessels make the loudest noise.

If you see the configuration of Nigeria, the Yourbas right from the first republic have always behaved as a co-owner of Nigeria and not second to anyone, not even the North.
.

Typical Yoruba !

Yoruba man will always whine like a baby and say "all the things he told" someone else about Igbo when they don't get their way

Anyhow, whether you told Igbos that Yorubas are conmen or you told Yorubas that Igbos are cowards, it changes nothing for you

Igbo Presidency will come, but not in 2023! Igbos will NOT contest 2023 Presidency and APC is wise enough not to carelessly lose the Presidency by fielding Tinubu and then the opposition party will field a northerner. You already know the result of the election. That is why you are whining like a baby. lol....

When a certain extremely foolish tribe think it is better than the rest n the foolish tribe is not among the British
Greek, Romans tribe that at a point in history was said to conquer the world, it is not among the resurgent Chinese tribe with the 2nd largest economy in the world, it is not Arab that brought the renaissance of the 19th century both a completely foolish tribe of no significance at home or abroad. A tribe that never contributed anything whatsoever beside chest beating n cocaine rustling to the human race that's why.

Fidelity Bank Plc, top Nigerian lender has handed over a well-equipped, state-of-the-art Kitchen/Catering Laboratory for the use of students at the Girls Correctional Home, Idi-Araba, Lagos. The project, according to the bank, is a clear demonstration of its unwavering support towards enhancing the lives and wellbeing of less privileged members of the society.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony in Lagos recently, the bank’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Nnamdi Okonkwo said that the decision to embark on the project is borne out of a deep-seated realisation that vocational education remains vital to the development of any society.

Okonkwo who was represented the bank’s Head of Legal Division, Kingsley Ohiri thanked the Ministry of Youth & Social Development for giving them the opportunity to partner with the State and hoped to do more in the future. He also mentioned the bank had, in the past, carried out some CSR projects in the State such as the Correctional Centre for Boys, Birrel Avenue, Yaba where vocational training tools were provided for the use of wards at the centre.

While commissioning the project, the Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Olusegun Dawodu said that the kitchen would provide the children the means to learn a new vocation which they would use to benefit themselves and the society at large.

Dawodu also reiterated the resolve of the State Government to prioritise the needs of the teeming youth saying, “The Lagos State Government would continue to support and empower the children and youth in the State with relevant skills in order to play active roles in the Nigerian economy, thereby creating wealth and reducing the rate of unemployment and criminal activities among the youths and children”.

He specifically thanked Fidelity Bank for supporting the Government and especially the youths in the State by initiating and extending their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to ensure that the society is impacted positively.

On her own part, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Yewande Falugba, emphasised the need for well-meaning Nigerians and organisations to emulate Fidelity Bank by partnering with the State Government in ensuring the social well-being of the youths and children.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Ayo Opadokun, elder statesman and Secretary-General of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) has described as untrue the claims that the late Obafemi Awolowo betrayed the Eastern Region during the Nigerian civil war which lasted from 6th July 1967 to 15th January 1970.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Independent, Opadokum said if there is anybody to whom the Igbos should express gratitude for his role in the civil war, it is Awolowo.

“It is the height of mischief for anyone to claim that Awolowo betrayed the Igbos during the civil war. Many of them have been indoctrinated to so think and behave over the years. If there is anybody the Igbos should appreciate, it is Awolowo”.

” How could he have betrayed them? Are they claiming he betrayed them by not following them when they were seceding?”; Opadokun queried.

When asked to explain why there's still no sign of commencement of works at AIIA, the new explanation Hadi-Sirika has dreamt up now is that heavy machinery don't need to be rolled out as soon as the airport is closed...that rehabilitation of the airport has commenced in other ways! You couldn't make it up!

I remember when they were doing the runway at Abuja airport, they transferred int'l flights to the hurriedly refurbished Kaduna airport. Why can't they divert int'l flights meant for AIIA Enugu to either Asaba or Owerri airports? They also gave a firm timeframe, announced the contractor for the job, and gave the cost of the job to be done. None of this has been done in the case of AIIA Enugu!

I just laugh at gullible 'one Nigeria' Igbos who think the Fulani see them as equals in a fair and just Nigeria!

Apostle Johnson Suleiman plans to airlift 20 Nigerians. Uncle Muric, where are you? We need action now not too much noise and cheap talks. Pls someone who knows him should contact him and ask him for us.

ChimaAdeoye:
I can see some Nigerian tribalists already asking for the names of those children before they decide if they will sympathize on the plight of some of them or not.

Such a shameful country!

Curlieweed:
Trust Niggerians to ignore the substance and chase shadows. People are worried sick and ashamed of symptoms while ignoring the root causes.

You hear that your country is the global capital of poverty but you’re more worried that we are exporting wh0res. As if whoring and poverty are not daughter and mother.

Osinbajo receives Imam who hid 200 villagers in mosque




An 83-year-old Imam, Abdullahi Abubakar, who hid 200 villagers during attacks on Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State was on Thursday praised for his courageous act.

Abubakar got the commendation from Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The VP called him a hero and an example of one who could put their own life at risk to save others.

Recall that on June 23, 2018, bandits attacked communities in Barkin Ladi.

Over 200 of them were said to have found refuge in a mosque in Yelwan Gindi Akwati village, Gashish District, where Abubakar is the Chief Imam.

He had insisted the villagers were his “guests” and prevented the bandits from killing them.

The cleric visited the Villa on Thursday in company with several community leaders and diplomats from the US, UK and the European Union.

The VP said, “I commend you for your wonderful act. Imam Abubakar has demonstrated one of the most courageous acts any man can possibly do by risking his life for those who are not people of his own tribe.”

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Mr Laolu Akande, quoted Osinbajo as saying that Nigeria would be a lot better if people would truly love one another and not on the basis of tribe, religion or ethnicity.

“When people have been wronged, it is always easier for people to accept that revenge or vengeance is the right approach. But as you know, vengeance breeds bitterness and hatred and doesn’t solve the problems created, but causes more deaths and harm.”


The Imam, in his remarks, said he was not looking for publicity when he rescued the villagers, but felt that God only used him to save their lives.

The cleric, who spoke through an interpreter, added, “I pleaded with the attackers not to harm my guests. By God’s grace, no one was hurt. Such an incident (the attack) is rare in my community, but I hope such does not happen again.”

Those on the visit with Abubakar were the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington; Deputy Chief of Mission, US Embassy in Nigeria, David Young; an embassy official, Kathleen Fitzgibbon; and the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Bernhard Schlagheck.

First appointment Igbo so they will not complain when the main appointments rolls in.

Exactly!

The next silly appointment announcement will be another Igbo as principal of Federal Government Girls College, Chibok, so that Igbos won't complain when they are excluded from the ministerial list or service chiefs

KakiP:
Smile ko.

Obasanjo smiles because he wonders what manner of integrity Buhari has to steal someone's mandate and he shamelessly waves his hands on TV pretending to be waving at Nigerians he knows did not vote for him.
