Presenting a honorary degree from a non-accredited univerity is not something I would make a lot of noise about.

But if it is due to this fake honorary degree that he is labeling himself "Dr", that is, he has no medical or doctoral degree, then his appointment needs to be cancelled asap.

Those kind of Nigerians we don't want in government.

This sums it all up. I mean guys it's needless defending some sh*ts.

OP: This your aba made atlas. Your point is that Biafra existed and there was no Oyo Empire abi? Kontinu

There's some truth to it because Cairo was already screaming about this before the end of GEJ's tenure. Trust GEJ, he wasn't the one to ruffle anyone's feather much less his powerful SGF.

Same way Anyim cornered all juicy appointments to SE while other regions were astonished if GEJ was sensitive at all.

The senseless crop of journalists rather than beam their searchlights on the whistle blown by Dr Cairo were busy writing about Anyim's sleeping habits.

I know some stewpid people will refute all these but facts are sacred.

I am not an APC apologist btw but I just couldn't forgive GEJ for messing up.

The Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has dismissed the sentiments shared by a former Governor of Anambra State that the Igbo have not been treated fairly in the governance of Nigeria.

Ezeife had argued that President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who hails from the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State, to head the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, was not enough to satisfy the South-East.

But in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, Mohammed criticised Ezeife, insisting that people of the Igbo nation have enjoyed favourable treatment.

He added it was wrong to reward the Igbo simply on the basis of the Nigerian Civil War, which lasted between 1967 and 1970.

Mohammed said, “If it is about Buhari making the appointments based on merit, I have no problems with it. I don’t believe Buhari or Nigeria owes any Igbo anything. I don’t care what Ezeife says; if they had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria today. As people who acted outside the interest of Nigeria as a country, to expect compensation is a very odd logic.

“If the Igbo don’t like it, they can attempt secession again. If they do, they must be prepared to live with the consequences. Nobody owes them anything and nobody is out to compensate them for anything.”

The doctor-turned-politician also condemned claims that Buhari’s appointment of northerners into key positions in government was done out of ethnic sentiment.

He said, “They (critics) should tell us which ethnic groups have been favoured by Buhari in the course of making his appointments in parastatals and agencies. Those who are making those allegations, particularly the Igbo, have not told us exactly which parastatals.

“For example, an Igbo man has just been appointed as the head of the NNPC, one of the most important government agencies in Nigeria. And over 50 per cent of those appointed before him were also Igbos. So, if people decide to be mischievous, there is nothing anybody can do about it. As far as I am concerned, those appointed have been good and credible persons.”

On reports that Buhari may head the petroleum ministry for the next 18 months, the northern leader stated that there was no living Nigerian at that public level who knew as much about the ministry as Buhari.

According to Mohammed, there is full justification for Buhari to be petroleum minister for as long as he desires.

He added, “Moreover, the consequences of what happens in the oil ministry are so dire. When one looks at the track record of the past minister, one can see what we have to deal with as a country as a result of her being made a minister.

“In fact, I encourage him to retain the defence ministry because we are in a state of war and he is a distinguished retired general who has headed every single division of the Nigerian Army during his service. If he decides to be the defence minister, I would be more than glad.”

It is not enough. They deserve the presidency too.

Adonbiliv that Soyinka said all that. the grammer is too poor to be linked with Soyinka. in fact, from your heading, Soyinka has already been alienated from what ever statement claimed to be made by him. lastly, the news is as old as Methuselah, Oxford has already awarded her professorship to another guy, Soyinka only took second. a beg no quote me ooooo

Correct guy.

My observations from 2015 elections..APC and its supporters wanted to run a govt of exclusion and vengeance..they started calling people who didn't vote for them traitors. We wanted APC to take the high road like PDP, but they let theirs followers define them with vitriolic and hateful message of vengeance and exclusion. Fact1, PDP lost to AD in 1999 in southwest , but neither of its supporters nor chieftains called for exclusion of SWners from national appointment. Fact 2: Buhari won in North in 2003, 2007 and 2011 and none of his supporters were called traitors nor killed because of their vote. Their choice was respected unlike what happened in 2015.

In fact, some of ANPP members were offered appointments by OBJ and Yar'dua. When Oba of Lagos threatened Igbos with drowning in Lagos Lagoon, most of these APC fanatics didn't ask who would be the the beneficiary of Igbo votes- Jimi Agbaje, a Yoruba man,was likely to be the beneficiary- so how could you label someone a tribalist when he's actually voting for your kinsman instead of his brother?

GEJ accepted defeat and congratulated GMB; something GMB has never done to any presidents! Amechi, one of GMB's staunch supporters and financiers swore to make Rivers ungovernable by refusing to even hand over..

Tinubu is the first and only Naija to single-handedly pick a VP and impose him on a party. He wanted to hand pick NASS leaders- something no political leader has ever done. Even IBB and co who were alleged to have given OBJ N100m he donated to PDP in 1999, didn't extract such concessions from him. Emeka Offor also donated N200m to OBJ campaign in 1999 and didn't get to impose any candidate.

NASS leadership elections exposed the cracks and greed that bind this fragile union of APC members together- unlike PDP, which always solved its problems internally before NASS leadership elections were held, APC leadership was threatening NASS members who were in disagreement with BOT instead of compromising and rallying behind their preferred candidate.. APC wasted a huge political capital by electing a PDP member as the DSP with a huge implication of having an opposition member in all executive and inner-caucus deliberations- a PDP mole has been openly planted into APC by APC ! This party is on a high speed rail of self implosion or destruction- if I can't have it nobody-is gonna have it mentality.. Buyer remorse has kicked in after all these unfolding events.. These past eclections have brought out the worst racists and greedy folks in us all-Naija is irredeemably sunk!
BTW, I was a GEJ staunch critic and supported GMB and still hoping that he can succeed!!

Thanks bro. It is that same politics of exclusion expounded by Tinubu that infuriates me most about the man. Yet some would want me to believe that he is the best thing since slice bread.

As for the OP, he is just being clever by half. I'm sure he was in diaspora when Tinubu directed his party members to scuttle the emergence of Speaker of the 7th assembly from the south west. That began the implosion of PDP. Nobody should blame the PDP for returning the favour.

Whoever wants to foam in the mouth should go ahead. I am full blooded Yoruba and I don't have to prove it to anyone.

Etsu Nupes have always been Chancellors of OAU. Tony Fash and others had a raw deal from Ndayako (Fmr Etsu Nupe and Emir of Bida).
In any case, i guess the old man just had to do the biddings of the dark-goggled general.

Reading between the lines

The deceased was trying to push the accused's sister into the lagoon (stagnant water) and she angrily reacted.

The politicians succeeded in creating tensions in the land for their selfish interests and the poor people are killing themselves.

If after shouting and fighting your friends because of APC and PDP and your situation does not change after four years, you must be a foool.
