Every Nigerian Single ladies want to get married and of course wants to impress the man of their dreams.There's absolutely nothing wrong in showing off your good womanly skills and why you will make a better wife than your rival.

Buh there are some wifely duties you should avoid with your boyfriend if you want to have a good future ahead.


7 Wifely Duties Nigerian Ladies Should Avoid With Their Boyfriends

1. Mingle With His Friends

This might be fun if you knew him through his friends, buh nevertheless, you should cut down on all familarity with his friends once you start dating him.This will save you from the stress of your good intentions being misinterpreted,Or his friends knowing too much of you to begin to decide whether they like or approve you or not.

2. Do His Laundry

You should be focused on building your relationship, not how great a housekeeper you're.There are laundry shops on almost every street in Nigeria cities.If he tells you his clothes need washing, offer to call your laundry man for him or help him drop his clothes at the laundry shop.

3. Spend The Weekend At His Place

Most Nigerian ladies do this a lot and it's becoming a norm.You just want to have the feel of what it will actually be like living with him.It starts by sleeping over because it was too late for you to go home, then it progresses to you consciously going there for the weekend.What happened to the place you paid rent for? Smh..

4. Visit His Family Regularly

First things first, don't be in a haste to meet his family, or for him to meet your family unless he's planning to marry you.And when he finally introduces you to them, avoid paying the regular and uncalled for visits.The idea is not to get too involved with his family until you start bearing their name.

5. Depending On Him To Take Care Of You And Your Family

This is very common among Nigerian ladies, where a single lady assumes that all her financial burdens will be relieved by her boyfriend.Only lazy girls depend on their boyfriends for everything and if you want him to appreciate you, show him you're capable of taking care of your needs as well as that of your family.

6. Sleep With Him

Sex is sacred and was designed for married couples.You giving your body to your boyfriend goes against God's plan and also defiles your body and values.Stop giving him your body whenever he calls you up for it.Until he puts a wedding ring on your finger, then he's not worthy to receive wife benefits from you.When you become his wife, he will get treated like a husband.

7. Public Display Of Affection

Nigerian ladies are too fast in doing things when they are in a relationship.Try as much as possible to avoid going everywhere together, holding hands, kissing in public, uploading his pics on your social networks account and all that love birds do to drag attention.You might see it as part of spicing up your relationship buh it'll have negative effects on you if the relationship doesn't end up at the altar.

I drop my pen at this Juncture.

God bless you my brother. You just nailed it. He who has eye let him hear.

What do the igbo's want? Same people that cheered this statement are now complaining.

I don't think they are asking for too much by saying let there be equity, Justice in everything we do. Let there be no marginalization or abandonment of a section of the country, if we say that we are one. They are not allowed to rule, yet they are not complaining but, provide good roads for them to do their business is problem. Now they said okay, since they are not part of the country then, allow them to go, you still say no.

HungerBAD:
This is wrong.

You do not reward criminals. The Militants should be getting jail terms,and not money.

This is very wrong.

In as much as I don't support the activities of some of these youths in the creek, I think what FG has done is a wise decision even though is not a long term solution.
It won't be nice to label them as criminals because, that will only lead to further hardship in the country as a result of pipelines destruction. It pays nobody if FG chooses military action beside, it can never solve the problem. Even if you kill every youths in the area, many unborn will still agitate tomorrow. FG must draw a master plan for the development of the ND especially, the oil producing communities. A developmental projects that will ensure that every stakeholders and the youths in the area must be directly involved.

CHRISTIANITY: The True Meaning.

A dictionary definition of a Christian would be something similar to “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point but, it falls short of really showing the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian. The word “Christian” is used three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). Followers of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ. The word “Christian” literally means, “belonging to the party of Christ” or a “follower of Christ.”

Unfortunately over time, the word “Christian” has lost a great deal of its significance and is often used of someone who is religious or has high moral values but who may or may not be a true follower of Jesus Christ. Many people who do not believe and trust in Jesus Christ consider themselves Christians simply because they go to church or they live in a “Christian” nation. But going to church, or being a good person does not make you a Christian. Being a member of a church, attending services regularly, and giving to the work of the church does not make you a Christian.

The Bible teaches that the good works we do cannot make us acceptable to God. Titus 3:5 says, “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” So, a Christian is someone who has been born again by God (John 3:3; John 3:7; 1 Peter 1:23) and has put faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 tells us that it is “…by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

A true Christian is a person who has put faith and trust in the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His death on the cross as payment for sins and His resurrection on the third day. John 1:12 tells us, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” The mark of a true Christian is love for others and obedience to God’s Word (1 John 2:4, 10). A true Christian is indeed a child of God, a part of God’s true family, and one who has been given new life in Jesus Christ. One who has forsaken his/her old sinful ways of life and has follow the lifestyle of Christ whose seed (Spirit) dwells in by being born again.
Therefore, a Christian must not continue in a sinful lifestyle after redemption. Romans 6:1-2 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?. Also 1John 3:8-9 says that, "He that commits sin of the devil... Whosoever that is born of God doesn't sin because, the seed of God is in him... So, a Sinner is not a Christian and a Christian is not a sinner. 1John 5:17 states that "all unrighteousness is sin and 1Corinthians 6:9-10 confirms that unrighteous person cannot enter into the Kingdom of God..". So, you need to know where you belong so as to make amends.
What category of Christian do you belong?. Remember, it is only you that can answer this above question.
Therefore, I implore you to answer truthfully, surrender your life to Jesus, confess and repent from your sinful lifestyle and follow after righteousness and holiness. Be ready for the RAPTURE!.

A COUNTRY OF HYPOCRITES!!!
A woman was beheaded for allegedly
blaspheming the name Muhammed (S. A. W)
some months back. No women protest.
Another one was butchered and killed like a
cow just because she was only exercising
her right to religion by preaching the word
of God ( May his name be praised forever)
No women group protest to condemn the
barbaric act.
Now, just because a Man merely threatened
to beat and impregnate a woman just
because she is highly placed. A group of
various toothless women Screaming out the
top roof. Planning a big rally to protest a
mere threat.
When are we people going to stop being
hypothetical about issues?
Is an harmless threat to Remi Tinubu more
important than lives of those women
terminated without a course?
I have said mine, abuse me, its left for you.

NB: am a christian bt i wnt to knw wat wil happen that were born before christ came. because i leant those that that died and didnt believe christ will rot in hell. so wat will nw happen to those that were born before the birth of christ and didnt have a chance to know christ

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18New International Version (NIV)

Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Also see 1st Corinthians 15vs50-55

KEEP THE FAITH!
In an era when the Word of God is diluted, we need a revolution that will redirect the hearts of men back to the FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH as originally spoken by God through the Holy Spirit! Keep The Faith is all about that! KTF!

TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS by Debby Tryon
It’s a blessing sharing with you once again. A song writer says "Blessed be the Lord through my trials and all my struggles".
There is a thin line between our TRIALS and our TRIUMPHS and that is DECISION. You can either "decide" to give in after you must have struggled to the best of your ability or you "decide" to bring in the one who has overcome the greatest trials of life "Jesus Christ". Interestingly He is willing to help us overcome all of our trials, which are heavy burdens and give us triumphs (Matthew 11:28).
At the temptation of Christ, He was placed at a place of “deciding" to give in to the devil’s promises, but he chose to rebuke Him and that gave Him victory. (Matthew 4:1-10). We have to "choose" to defeat our trials, and this can happen only through the Word of God and in the place of Prayer. We equally have to remember that most of the times trials are a stepping stone to breakthroughs, other times they are deliberate; permit me to also say trials are a necessity to growing spiritually as it helps you exercise spiritual authority.

What do we do to Turn Trials to Triumphs??

When faced with trials and you are at the verge of giving up, remember your past victories, it seemed you would not make it, but you actually did. That is a boost to overcome. It will also help to keep a "Book of Victories"; write down previous triumphs and when faced with new ones, go over them to gain confidence.
When faced with trials, do not center on them. Put your mind and focus on Him who has the power to help you overcome.
When you are faced with trials, Bless and Praise the Lord. Let His good works be spoken of by you, portray the attitude of Triumph, (Psalm 29:11, Psalm 34:1).  That way attention is shifted from trying issues to victory.
When faced with trials pray to God, rather than talking to people who may never understand and can only give human help. Pray to God to help you grow from it, pray He helps you and leads you to the write people that will help you overcome, pray He enables you put on the best attitude through it all.
When faced with trials, never doubt God. He is always there, He leads you, (Psalm 23, Hebrews 13:5).


When faced with trials avoid listening to counsel from unbelievers, they are likely to talk from a perspective that spurs you to give up. Trust the word of God.
 When faced with trials, study the account of youths like us in the Bible, study scriptures that helps you overcome temptations, (2nd Peter 2:9, 1st Corinthians 10:13).Our trials are mostly disciplines to stay clear sin (lying, stealing, cheating, pornography, masturbation, deceit, fornication) and other small challenges that taint our garment.
When faced with trials remember how strong you are in Christ, remind the devil that he has lost, that he has been made an open shame, remind him of the name Jesus, remind him that you operate from a stand point of Victory (Jesus Christ), remind him you have power and you are safe under Gods wings. Finally remind him he has been defeated thousand of years back, and in the words of Jesus tell him, "Get behind me Satan!"
See you at the top!

http://punchng.com/afenifere-ohanaeze-disagree-president-says-nigerias-unity-not-negotiable/

Ogah Sir, Marriage is never by force, Nigeria unity is negotiable o. The initial Union was a scam because, different tribes that made up the entity called Nigeria today have never come together to discuss how they can live together, and that's why the country has never experienced peace and unity. So, if we must continue together as a country then, every region must seat to negotiate.

South-East, South-South groups call for referendum By Emmanuel Uzodinma on July 3, 2016

Different pressure groups from the South East and the South South rose from a meeting in Umuahia over the weekend calling for a referendum on the 2014 Confab resolutions, as the only way forward to save Nigerian.
The groups condemned what they called the hounding, arrests and intimidation of IPOB members, innocent youths, “whose only sin is their loss of faith in the lop sided, unfair and unjust unitary Nigeria where some regions are continuously treated as conquered people.”

They insisted that the confab report must be retrieved from the archives, and early referendum conducted to determine the fate and future of Nigeria.


The well attended meeting tagged “OLD EASTERN REGION MOVEMENT,” had representatives of Traders Organizations, Students Groups, Traditional Rulers and Town Unions.

Others were representatives of CAN, Age Grades and Socio-cultural Organizations from the South East and South South zones, Igbo in Academia, South East Professionals, Niger Delta Youth Forum, PFN, World Igbo Congress, South East Traders Associations, Igbo Survival Movement, South East Congress, Igbo Women Assembly, amongst others.

They agreed to be meeting bi-monthly until a larger and broad based coalition is built amongst like minds in the South West and Middle belt for a stronger demand for a referendum on the 2014 confab resolutions.

Interim chairman of the group, Bishop Micheal Ibeneme lamented the continuous heaping of false allegation on the IPOB members in order to criminalize them, saying such wicked plots will only deepen division in Nigeria.


“The IPOB are unarmed, non-violent mass movement of millions of young people, who are completely tired of the injustice in Nigeria as presently constituted.

“Everyone knows they are a big headache to the FG, but the resort to laying false allegation on them in order to incriminate them, has turned out the last straw, there is a limit to what people can take.

“This obvious plot to continue killing and arresting them in the hope that they would eventually turn around and suddenly fall in love with this unitary Nigeria where they have been permanently relegated to second class status will never work. The F.G. is clearly applying the wrong strategy. We want a referendum now”, he said.

Leader of the Igbo Women Assembly Chief (Mrs.) Maria Okwor, who is deputy Chairman of the meeting said, only a referendum will solve the problem now.

“Our children are massacred daily, arrested in their sleep on trumped up charges of planning to bomb China, Canada, and Germany. No evidence, no proof, this Abacha style is only designed to intimidate and cow everybody into fearful silence.

“Instead of restructuring Nigeria into true federalism, the F.G. is employing brutal suppression to terrorize and intimidate citizens. We insist on an early referendum to decide the future of Nigeria. Brutality and suppression will never work. We can’t be intimidated. I am 81 years and Buhari and the DSS cannot intimidate me”.

Founder of Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) and deputy secretary of Igbo Leaders of Thought, Evang. Elliot Uko, said the meeting should expand and bring in more credible people.

“This meeting should invite more people and enlarge the coalition in order to harness opinions from more experienced minds. Yes, there is bitterness, discontent and anger in Eastern Nigeria today, but we must try and carry everybody along. Those who are yet to see that restructuring is the only way forward must be converted.

“We would open their eyes to see that Nigeria can never move forward unless we revert to true federalism”, he declared.

The groups will meet again in the end of July.

Contestant 1


Mimzy


Mimzy is in her early twenties currently running a part-time H.N.D programme (Business Administration and Management) in Yaba College of Technology. She also works as an Account Executive & Administrative Officer in a Law Firm in Lagos State. She hails from Lagos Island in Lagos State, Offin area.
She enjoys any meal of bread and her hobbies are reading, swimming and experimenting in the kitchen (she even follows several food blogs, Dooney's kitchen being her favourite). Her role models are God and her mum.
When asked what friends and family will describe her as, she said, "I had to ask two friends and one relative to describe me bluntly so I could get an unbiased description of me and here is what they said.
Friend 1 - "Aramide, I think you're considerate, loyal, trusting and sensitive with a balanced sense of judgement"
Friend 2 -
"Ermmm..okk. I would like to describe you as a very straight forward person who likes to take things in her stride in a very level headed manner. Life is quite exciting to you as it has galores of opportunities and experiences to offer and you feel one should always make the right use of it. You are adventurous by nature for you like to take up new challenges. It gives you the zeal and impetus to work towards excellence. One thing you firmly believe in is that one should always strive towards individual betterment, in whichever form it may be. Therefore you are never tired of beginning where others end".
My sister - "You are one very troublesome girl with a good sense of humour, fun to be with and very emotional at the same time"
On the thing that makes her different, she said, "I will refer to my favorite quote in response to this question... I will not say I am different from the others but I will say that I have constantly tried to be myself even amidst pressures to be who I am not and that makes me outstanding"
Her favourite quoteis that of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
She believes she deserves to be crowned Miss Nairaland, because,
"I believe in teamwork and that everyone, no matter how seemingly detached from the ongoings are, brings something unique to the table and hence, they should be consulted. This is one of the reasons why I opined during the campaign that EVERYONE IS MIMZY'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER. To Mimzy, everyone is important. I see values in people and how they can be harnessed. I see rich values In Nigeria's diversity and how we can use them to positively turn around the current animosity that exist.
I'm daring as well as adventurous and I can boldly represent this forum when service calls. My persona wouldn't change even when I win the competition. I'd always be the open, friendly, rational yet opinionated Mimzy everyone knows. I am confident in my own skin and I believe in the dignity of female folks.
I am as real as can be. I am for One Nigeria, One Nairaland".

"I vote mimzy cc:Nljega"

and paste on the thread....and you would have done us a huge favor!.

jlinkd78:
Simple negotiations turned out yet inconclusive. Methinks d FG is being smart by half here as their main line of reasoning seems to be to hold d NDA at bay pretending to be planning to negotiate with them while discreetly unleashing d Security Agents after them when their guards are down and then arresting them as criminals in addition to creating divide & rule situation in their camps. This d NDA guys, who have always posited that they are young and very intelligent, appear to be having upper hand. The manner in which these guys carry out these coordinated attacks shows they are actually sophisticated and knows their onions in this struggle very well. The DSS has been challenged to parade d suspects they claimed were mbrs of d Avengers to reporters. U can't claim to have arrested d militants when they offered a window of truce/cease fire and expect hostilities not to resume for them to counter Ur lies. For me this propaganda by d DSS was d immediate cause for d resumption of attacks with 5 major oil trunk lines within 24hrs .Same way they will arrest d IPOB in their bedrooms in d midnight and charge them to be on their way to bomb computer village. Cronyism and Nepotism as currently practised by d FG will definitely be archived into d golden book of remembrance for this adminstration and will surely be bookmarked. The FG must be reminded at this juncture that d Avengers are not interested in financial settlement but have their 10 point demands listed on their website which includes but not limited to d unconditional release of one innocent 5%man.

Dear thanks for speaking the truth. Our leaders both past and present know this obvious fact that true fiscal federalism is the only way we can remain a country but, greed and hunger for power to enrich themselves never let them do the needful. we are just deceiving ourselves here because, there has never been peace and unity in this country because of this feeding bottle system of government we are currently practicing. Disunity is a symptom. We just live in a denial here and keep massaging the truth. The solution to all these agitations lies in ending this feeding bottle structure that we practice which encourages neocolonialism, the amalgamation of North and South is a big fraud. There is so much injustice, inequity, subjugation, winner-takes-it-all. There can't be peace under this structure, and if there is no peace there can't be unity or progress. Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. In this present structure where you have too strong center, one people use the instrument of the state to oppress and marginalize others. And when they protest they get killed. And we are talking about peace and unity. Let's be sincere, where in the world would security operatives open fire on unarmed civilian doing peaceful protest? Let's stop massaging the truthThis feeding bottle system of government we are running in this nation is the cause of all these problems. We need to end this structure. I am in total support of true fiscal federalism where every zones contribute a token to the centre and take their future and pace of growth in their own hands, and express their cultures and religion freely, and practice their vocations unhindered. I strongly believed that this is the only way to end these agitations. People must agitate for self determination and for resource control when they feel marginalized and abandoned.
Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. Any Dialogue is just a short term solution. INJUSTICE AND INEQUITY IS TOO MUCH IN THIS UNION.

Anambra isn't an oil producing state yet it doesn't take loans & doesn't owe salary. Anambra proves that True Federalism can work in Nigeria

https://mobile.twitter.com/benmurraybruce/status/743675378565185536?s=08

I don't even know why some people are oppositing this true fiscal federalism. What are they scared of? Simply means managing your resources while contributing a token to the centre. It will ensure rapid development in many states and regions of the country. Let's stop relying on crude oil because, we were all living before the discovery of the crude oil. It will discourage those politicians from non oil and rich states whose interests in politics is to come and embezzle money from participating in politics. Etc

WHY APC IS STRONGER THAN PDP. .
1. It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197,
but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N350.
...
2 It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but it
took APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill
and bury Nigeria. ...
3. It took PDP 16 years to make fuel price N87 per
litre, but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per
litre. ...
4. It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt,
but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria
Fantastically corrupt.
5)It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at
N7,000 per bag, but took APC 1 year to project it
to N18,000 per bag.
6) It took Jonathan 5yrs to travel to 15 countries,
but it took Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.
7)It took PDP 16years to apply resounding
economic policies that made banks grow, but took
APC 1 year to apply policies which they beg banks
not to sack more staff.
CONCLUSIVELY; I am beginning to think that while
PDP is better in administration, APC is better in
opposition, that's why APC is still
campaigning,blaming, promising and playing
opposition party despite being the Ruling party after
one year.

DropShot:
Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun, this is clear violation of rule 2. Please do justice.

Stop calling them after all you started the insult, "I doubt you have any credible certificate.

Some certificates are not worth the piece of paper they're printed on. Yours surely is such.

And get over the election loss trauma. The loss is irreversible." So ?

irunooboo:
They must make biafra agitations and any form of secession a crime punishable by death penalty. No group of people must be allowed to break away from Nigeria.

Why is it that some people in this country are always afraid that a tribe wants to break out? Does it mean that the remaining groups can't survive without them or what? I read that the amalgamation that brought us together states that after 100 years that any group can go if they wish. So, why should it be a crime? Just asking.

alizma:
PDP will now channel their strength in pursuance of this course and before they know it, here comes 2019.
and to add insult to their injury, Bubu will win again.

Law of power, no 39 and 48 activated by Buhari .

Why can't Mr. President save himself all these stress and embarrassment by simply providing his certificate and even make it public if he has one.

DaBullIT:
5% people no dey tire ??

They tried bOKO HARAM, THEY TRIED MASSOB,MEND,Niger Delta Avengers, they tried noising over ear infection ,


PDP has run out of excuses they are going to the propaganda they used before election

Those lawyers if he really has any lawyer might have donated their services

Everything Now is money for wailers and PDP whereas the ones they stole we haven't recovered all yet

My brother, let's just believe that those sans offer their service free of charge. The question here is, why all these stress and waist of time, why can't PMB shame his critics by simply providing his certificate and even publish it if he has one. Honestly, this is becoming very embarrassing.

WILLIAMS10:
I agree with u solemnly on everything save for the issue of neo-colonialism(colonialism through other means)..which according to Nkrumah is the last and most dangerous stage of imperialism. One major instrument of neocolonialism is Balkanization..the creation of non-viable states who become dependent on foreign aid..That one reason I'll stand against confederacy,because it will lead to "Somalianalisation" and ultimately slide into secession..Thereby create states of irregular sizes and viability. Francophone ex colonies in west Africa still rely heavily on France.;'weak states'

I appreciate your correction. Thanks

Greatings my noble compatriots, I've taken time to study and observe to polity which is already hitted up along political/ethnic lines. I realised that both party A and party B all clamour and yawn for a better Nigeria irrespective of their party idealogy but the route or method of approach in remoulding this great Nation back to what it use to be seems not to be working..
Having said that, I would want the great minds in these forum to come together as one and engage eachother in a great constructive discourse on the aforementioned topic above and see if we can at least set sail from
there..
What do you understand about True Federalism?

Do you think what Nigeria needs now at this critical moment of unrest both at the northern and southern axis is True fiscal federational government?

If you are against true federalism and total restructuring of the system, please can we have your reason and what are the other possible ways of cultivating an evalasting peace and oneness in this country...


Thanks as we await your intelligent inputs...

Dear thanks for raising this important matter. Our leaders both past and present know this obvious fact that true fiscal federalism is the only way we can remain a country but, greed and hunger for power to enrich themselves never let them do the needful. we are just deceiving ourselves here because, there has never been peace and unity in this country because of this feeding bottle system of government we are currently practicing. Disunity is a symptom. We just live in a denial here and keep massaging the truth. The solution to all these agitations lies in ending this feeding bottle structure that we practice which encourages neocolonialism, the amalgamation of North and South is a big fraud. There is so much injustice, inequity, subjugation, winner-takes-it-all. There can't be peace under this structure, and if there is no peace there can't be unity or progress. Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. In this present structure where you have too strong center, one people use the instrument of the state to oppress and marginalize others. And when they protest they get killed. And we are talking about peace and unity. Let's be sincere, where in the world would security operatives open fire on unarmed civilian doing peaceful protest? Let's stop massaging the truthThis feeding bottle system of government we are running in this nation is the cause of all these problems. We need to end this structure. I am in total support of true fiscal federalism where every zones contribute a token to the centre and take their future and pace of growth in their own hands, and express their cultures and religion freely, and practice their vocations unhindered. I strongly believed that this is the only way to end this injustice. People must agitate for self determination and for resource control when they feel marginalized and abandoned.
So, let every well meaning Nigerians begin to support the proposed fiscal federalism instead of engaging in all these tribal sentiments and insult because, it will only bring hatred and more agitations.
Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity.

DEAFandDUMB:
Wow!... This is getting interesting... What could be the reasons why many successive administrations has refuse to embrace true federalism since from all indication its the fastest and a sure route to making Nigeria great again... Are they afraid that the centre might fall and Abuja and Lagos be deserted?

Simple answer is GREED AND QUEST FOR POWER

AdiscoPele:
Where were they when PDP was in power?

They are not patriotic Nigerians, they are only saying this because they are no more in power.

Useless bunch of old men.

Brother, it doesn't really the party that's in power. The unity of this country is more important than any political party.
The truth is that disunity is a symptom. We just live in a denial here and keep massaging the truth. The solution to all these agitations lies in ending this feeding bottle structure that we practice which encourages neocolonialism, the amalgamation of North and South is a big fraud. There is so much injustice, inequity, subjugation, winner-takes-it-all. There can't be peace under this structure, and if there is no peace there can't be unity or progress.

I strongly believed that this is the only way to end this injustice.
So, I want to urge all Nairalanders and well meaning Nigerians to support the proposed fiscal federalism. Let's stop this tribal statements and insult because, it will only cause hatred and more agitation for self determination.
Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity.

One thing we forget is that 'you can only destroy a messenger but, cannot destroy the massage'. The fight he couldn't win is still on, the message keeps spreading and now there are many agitators everywhere.

The attention of the 82 Division, Nigerian Army has been drawn to a planned release of report by Amnesty International on the recent violent activities by IPOB and MASSOB on 31st May 2016 in which they were alleging that the Nigerian Army planned the killing of the protesters. This is not true but the usual calculated attempt to rubbish the Security forces in particular and the Nigerian Army just to remain relevant.

It should be noted that the Non-governmental organization has always been of the habit of being the judge and jury in matters of our national security without recourse to fairness, objectivity, all aimed at rubbishing the Nigerian Army for reasons best known to them. This could not be far from trying albeit unsuccessfully to be relevant and justify funding.

For the avoidance of doubt, what transpired that fateful day was that some elements of MASSOB/IPOB engaged in violent protests which led to outright breakdown of law and order. The pro-Biafra protesters who had chosen the day to mark the 50th Anniversary of Biafra perpetrated a number of unimaginable atrocities to unhinge the reign of peace, security and stability in several parts of Anambra State. A number of persons were selected for attack, killed and burnt. Two personnel of the Nigeria Police were killed, several soldiers were wounded, a Nigeria Police vehicle was completely burnt down while another of the Nigerian Army was vandalized. The strategic Niger Bridge at Onitsha was at the verge of being captured particularly with the coordinated reinforcement of the violent protesters from the Asaba end of the Bridge. In addition, wanton destruction of lives and properties were brazenly carried out by the protesters who employed firearms, crude weapons as well as other volatile cocktails such as acid and dynamites. In consequence, law, order and security were grossly threatened across the State and beyond.

The Nigerian Army in synergy with other security agencies under its constitutional mandates for Military Aid to Civil Authority (MACA) and Military Aid to Civil Power (MACP) acted responsively in order to de-escalate the deteriorating security situation. Instructively, the military and other security agencies exercised maximum restraints against the odds of provocative and inexplicable violence that were employed against them by the pro-Biafra protesters. The military and of course the other security agencies acted professionally within the extant Rules of Engagement to successfully de-escalate the budding anarchy. It is rather inconceivable for any individual or group to have decided to inundate the general public with an anecdote of unverified narratives in order to discredit the Nigerian Army in the course of carrying out its constitutional duties despite the premeditated and unprovoked attacks in the hands of the violent pro-Biafra mob as Amnesty International is determined to do.

Thank you for your usual cooperation.

All the while the security operatives in this country have been killing Ipob/massob agitators during their peaceful protest, I have not seen nor heard that a weapon was recovered from them. Why is there so much injustice in this Nation, where in the world would security operatives open fire on unarmed civilian doing peaceful protest? And we are talking about peace and unity.
