1. Louis Edet as IGP was from Cross River (that is not South East).
2. Zik was from Onitsha, Anambra


In the appointments of leaders of different parastatals, there's never been anywhere that mentioned that the positions were favoured for the igbos, rather it was based on merit. Aguiyi Ironsi was the most senior in the military (rank wise) and thus should've been naturally the GOC. I'm also surprised not to see the name of Adekunle Fajuiyi amongst the list of military personnels. He was a Lt. Col. as at the time he and Ironsi were killed.

After the first coup, the plotters were detained. I do not understand how the author says that they were treated as heroes while in prison. If Adaka Boro was also put in prison and not killed because of treason, I do not understand how Ironsi would've killed the coup plotters. The dots dont connect.

Adaka Boro was sentenced to death by ironsi. He was to be killed in Dec 1966.

I love the confident in obasanjo. But I don't understand why the president will be regarded higher than the kabiyesis

Buhari was Kabiyesi's boss in the military.

I love my Yoruba friends, but I have to say this.... igbos are ... Betrayals, disloyal, unfaithful, breach of trusts, duplicities, deceitful, false-hearted, back-stabbers, double-dealing, untrustworthy.

I know you igbos are very wise but you have to be more careful when dealing with people with such sickening attributes I listed above.
.

I have noticed that Yorubas are always trying their best to stage the igbos against the Hausa fulanis. Hausa Fulani and igbos live in peace in the north, but it looks like the north attacks the igbos during crises but it's not so, the igbos are much up north bc of their business nature so it's natural for them to record more hit in any attack on Nigerians up north, do you know that even Yoruba Muslims are attacked and killed during crises? Yorubas die too during crises, other ethnic groups die too and I have my facts, I know of a prof who was hacked to death in the north, but when ever there is crises the Yoruba medias make it look like the igbos and the house Fulani are at war, they are trying to fan reprisals and a continuous circle of violence.
.
.
I have said something times without number that the Yorubas should always bring on healthy competition like Nnamdi Azikiwe and other igbos always do and stop all the envy.
For example, stoping people from voting a party of their choice is not a healthy competition, it shows fear and cowardice.

A Yoruba man once told me he can't understand how an Igbo man would just move from bed sitter to self contain then one room and palour and then two rooms..... Build a house first in igbo land and then hustle towards building one in Lagos which a good percent of them do. In his tone I sensed envy. It's wrong not to rejoice with people that are progressing.

God bless my Yoruba friends, God bless the north, east and middle Beltans and God blses naigezee.

You just described your entire generation.

How many times have igbos kidnapped yorubas like olu falae, drag him on the ground, burn his farm and collect ransom to release him?

Do you know how many people evans kidnapped in Lagos? Do you know how many igbo criminals and armed robbers in SW?

Counsel for nine-year-old Aisha AbdulAleem who instituted a case of violation of fundamental human rights at the Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta, over the use of hijab in public schools in the state, Semiu Akinbami, has kicked against the decision of some traditionalists to join the suit.

The traditionalists in the state, under the aegis of Traditional Healers Association, on Wednesday appeared before the court to show interest in the suit.

Aisha had instituted the case against the principal of Gateway Secondary School, Abeokuta, Mrs Kushimo; Comissioner for Education, Modupe Mujota, and her counterpart in the Ministry of Justice, Dr Olumide Ayeni.

The counsel for the traditionalists, Chief Bode Akintubuwa, announced his appearance at the resumed hearing on Wednesday.

When the presiding judge, Justice Bamgbose Alabi, told the counsel for the traditionalists that he had yet to see his application to be joined in the case, Akintubuwa explained that he had applied for the processes.

The counsel for the claimant, however, described the appearance of Akintubuwa as “another twist.”

Akinabami said, “Our case is against the government. He is just here to waste the time of the court.”

Akintubuwa argued that the traditionalists decided to apply to be joined in the case because it is of “public interest.”

He said, “We want the court to make a ruling whether it is fundamental right to go to public institution to wear religious apparel.”

So "...going through the National Assembly is just a waste of time"? In other words, 'the distinguished Prof/Lawyer' is saying the legislature is a useless arm of government.

I think we're in an Autocratically Fascist government.

You are just a dunce. Saraki, Ekweremadu, Dogara are in Pdp and are the leaders of the house. If they believed in restructuring like they want yo to believe, let them move a motion to that effect. But Osinbajo knows they are all against it that's why he said you can't achieve it through the national assembly.

For your info, The executive can't restructure the system, only the legislature can.

And they call him Professor of Law, when in essence he is Tinubu's boy boy.

What is wrong in a professor of law telling you to go to court?

Would you rather he tells you to go violent?

Brainless dolts disparaging a man they can never achieve 1% of his achievement in their generation.

Ademola Babalola and David Olorunsogo

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday told proponents of the restructuring of the country to approach the court.

The vice president was of the view that those agitating for restructuring should walk their talks by approaching the court to seek legal solution to their agitation.



Osinbajo, who spoke at the 80th birthday celebration of a former governor of Osun state, Chief Bisi Akande, on the theme, ‘Nigeria: Achieving National Unity Through Peaceful Restructuring.’ faulted the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar who had been promising to restructure Nigeria.

At the event were the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Governors Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo); Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun); Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo); Gboyega Oyetola (Osun); Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Idiat Adebule; and Senator Biyi Durojaye, among others.

Osinbajo said Atiku and the PDP once opposed restructuring when Tinubu, as the governor of Lagos State, called for it in 1999.

Osinbajo said he was part of the Lagos State’s history between 1999 and 2003 when Tinubu used legal means to achieve creation of more local council development areas in the state.

He said, “The government of Lagos State demonstrated that it is possible to have restructuring and devolution of power by process of litigation. As of 1999 when I first had encounter with the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, he made it clear to me that one of his objectives for us is to pursue fiscal federalism and devolution of power for our state.

“We spent a lot of time and resources to look into how we could do it. We know that going through the National Assembly is just a waste of time. We then decided to use process of litigation. As a matter of fact, we went to the Supreme Court on 12 different times on what we can describe as restructuring. The Federal Government at that time opposed every move we made.


“Today our dear presidential candidate of the PDP says he is an expert on restructuring, but in those years when we were fighting for restructuring, he opposed every step we took.



“Fortunately for us, we were able to record successes. The achievements are gains of litigation. We can only get it through the court. As a region, if we are talking about restructuring, we should look at it from the point of view of the court.”

Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, who was the keynote speaker, said the recommendations of the APC committee on restructuring were the best for the country.

He said, “APC Committee on true federalism submitted its report last year. The committee recommended that the federation be re-balanced with more powers and responsibilities devolved to the states. The committee also clarified that the federation is a relationship solely between the states and the Federal Government, and that each state should be allowed to operate the system of local government that best suits it.

“Successful restructuring depends also on our national resolve to protect the idea of a common citizenship. The rights guaranteed under the constitution should be enjoyed by every citizen, no matter where they reside, and no matter which part of the country they hail from. A restructuring of mentality and values is a key factor in the success of restructuring of the governance and political structure,” El-Rufai said.

A former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani, who was a discussant at the colloquium, said the APC was not opposed to restructuring.

He explained that the problem the party had was the way the opposition parties presented restructuring.

The Secretary, APC Committee on Restructuring, Senator Olufemi Adetunmbi; and Prof. Adigun Agbaje, who were also discussants aligned with Nnamani’s view on generating innovative strategies that would make restructuring a reality.

Meanwhile, Osinbajo on Wednesday said even the worst critics of President Mohammadu Buhari knew that he was not a thief.

Osinbajo, who spoke at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, before proceeding on door-to-door campaign of the APC, said no meaningful development would take place in the society with high level graft.

He said the forthcoming elections should be seen as important by the Yoruba nation and called on the people to support Buhari’s re-election because the President had good plans for the country.

The vice president, who spoke in Yoruba language said, “The forthcoming elections must be seen as important by all Yoruba. It is our election. If they approach you to sell your votes, don’t listen to them.

“Even President Buhari’s worst critics know he is not a thief. They know that he is not corrupt. No nation will develop when corrupt people are in positions of authority.”

Ogunwusi said Osinbajo was representing Yoruba’s interest at the federal level and commended him for providing exemplary leadership.

Osinbajo and his team later visited the Sabo area, before moving to the palace of Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Moses Oyediran, where he called on the residents to vote for Buhari.

A man who wanted to break up with his girlfriend ended up accidentally proposing to her with the ring he had intended to give to a love interest, he had been dating secretly at work.

The man, a Reddit user named Propermistakeregret, said the last new year’s eve was a nightmare for him, as it was the time, he mistakenly proposed to his longtime girlfriend, whom he had intended to break up with. He placed a portion of the blame on alcohol though, reports Metro UK.

He shared his story with fellow Redditors and how much he regretted it. He said, “I’m seeing someone else, wanted to break up with her. I bought the ring for a work colleague, wasn’t planning to propose until the holiday we planned.



“During New Year’s Eve, I proposed to my girlfriend. It’s been posted on my friend’s Snapchat, my girlfriend’s Facebook page, everywhere.

“I saw people proposing so I wanted to go with the flow and proposed to my girlfriend whilst partially pissed. Can I get the ring back and cancel the engagement please?”

Unfortunately, law experts on Reddit explained, it wouldn’t be possible for him to get the ring back unless perhaps it costs a fortune and he was able to show that he was so intoxicated that he lacked legal capacity to offer a gift.

After a few unforgiving comments from users including pleas for the poster to see a therapist, he posted an update, that he is now marrying his original girlfriend.

He said, “I’ve had a long and hard think to myself, I decided to hand in my four-week notice to my boss and start afresh.

“I think it’s best my girlfriend doesn’t find out about the affair, I’ve been having so I’ve spoken to my colleague and told her I’m not going on holiday with her and I’ve ended it with her.

“I’ve known my girlfriend longer and my mum gave me a call saying she’s happy and she’s always wanted grandchildren and whatnot, so I didn’t want to disappoint my mum. I’m going to marry my girlfriend.”

jonuel1:
i think its a drug addict and a fool that will tell us our president is well and fine (mentally and psychologically) yet he cant address a Presidential Media Chat neither can he be spotted in a public function in the country

How does having a media chat prove anything? Are you not going to see him on TV just as you have been seeing him now? Are you going to see him one on one?

Btw, having a media chat is not in the constitution. That's Jonathan's style. It's not compulsory he follows it.

The post quoted is how Afonjas do talk.

You don't even have a brain to see how asari subbed kanu wen he said 'bot running away from soldiers' he just called nnamdi kanu a coward and you said they agree on the release?

TruthinAction:
Stop deceiving yourself. The evidences are so overwhelming. The truth cannot hide for too long. Just because the north wants to hold on to power, they can go to this length to commit this terrible crime. Even the death certificate does not speak anything. Nigeria is indeed full of deceitful and wicked men. God will expose all those behind this. If he is the one, let him do a nation wide broadcast. Let him submit himself to interrogation by press men. Let us confirm his height. Let him do a DNA test. The allegations are so weighty that it cannot just be swept under the carpet by reigning insults.

What 'evidence' are you talking about? mirrored image from nnamdi kanu? Are you this brainless?

Have you asked nnanmdi kanu who was obviously dead and cloned to prove himself? Where was he for over year?

Ijaws owns half of ilaje although they speak oyoruba and ijaw language.
For example some ijaws in rivers state speak igbo and some in akwa ibom speak efik

I do see your ignorant hate-filled gibberish on this forum everyday. Are so unfortunate in life that your entire existence depends on hating on Yorubas? How does ijaw own half of ilaje? ijaws are not indigenous to ondo state. They are fishermen who wondered along the sea. Their population is not even up to 3000. The Apoi and Arogbo are not even ijaw.

No point arguing with your type. All your accusing fingers are pointing at you, smeared with oil and blood. It was Buhari that bred your kind filled with hate and so much bile with all his bad examples. Like father, like son. Imagine calling a human pig.

I know though that time is around the corner that people like you and Buhari will be extinct in Nigeria political leadership realities and discourse. And I'm not talking 2019 election. You don't know me, do you? So you can still go ahead to spill more hate garbage. No probs. Some of you think too much of Buhari. Lol.

How do you see hate in buhari's comment? hate filled dunce like you always project your bitter minds on others. can you proof buhari's hatred for igbos?

Should the president of a country hate any part or region of the the same entity he rules? How is that right? How is that presidential? How can you justify that? On what basis? Does a great man play the card of reciprocity of negativity or hatred? A president for that matter? Then such a person is of a little mind and unfit to be president in the first place if he can't be broad minded, no matter the circumstances.

It was wrong of Buhari to make reference to the war when bidding farewell to the Irish ambassador. Psychologically, it shows his mindset instead of thinking progressive and futuristic thoughts. Please, stop defending the indefensible. What is wrong is wrong and 2 wrongs don't make a right. I'm sure the Irish ambassador too would be bemused in his mind and his home government will be unhappy Buhari mired them unnecessarily about a war that ended eons ago.

But I don't really blame Buhari. I blame the electoral system that allows small and close minded individuals emerging as leaders. If the electoral law has insisted that to be elected president, a candidate must win majority votes plus at least 1 state in every region of the country, a Buhari can never emerge as president. And this law shall be promulgated someday soon.

Pigs like you only read headlines to be triggered. Your hate is inborn and there's nothing you can do about it.

He only thanks The republic of Ireland for their humanitarian effort during biafran war and the on going war in the north east. He is not responsible for your hate filled ramblings.

Ambode has won my respect for just the singular act of deciding not to asslick tinubu ever again !
One thing about every asslicker is that they are never comfortable in their ass licking job,but lacks the balls to say enough is enough !
They just can't ,even in their glaring misery .
The same apply to our live in many relationships today.
Thousands of persons are suffering the same slavery to another person because they lack the balls to drawn the line & admit the situation they are in ,is doing then more bad ( mentally, psychological etc) than good .
Even if ambode end up not winning, he has made his point clear ;

I'M DONE ASSLICKING !

And i'm proud of him for that ....

You are not bright. he asslicked before becoming governor. If that is the only thing your brain could process. Stop delving into matters you know nothing about.

Ambode is not a politician, if he was, this wouldn't have happened, he is not street smart.it is a pity when a sitting governor is tossed around by a former governor, it doesn't sound good, this can never happen in the south east, never, I say never, and i will say it again never...

So what's our business if it can't happen in the south east? why don't you face the south east and mind your business?
