Uchek:
The interview is medicine after death.  History will judge Awo for what he did before the war than after the war

Awo said over 10 years before Biafra that Nigeria was a "mere geographical expression"

Awo knew that the counter-coup by Gowon and his Northern brothers was not for a united Nigeria where justice and inequity will reign, but for the domination of the rest of Nigeria.

Awo saw the pogrom and massacre that was the Easterners (mostly Ibos) suffered in the hands of the North

Awo saw that  federal government under the control of the North never punished anybody, stopped the killing or compensated the victims.

Awo saw all this things yet joined hands with Gowon to perpetrate this evils and enthrone Hausa hegemony.

He who sees evil and inequity and keeps quiet and much more join hands to perpetrate  it is guilty of evil.

Awo had the chance to say NO to Gowon and his blood-thirty brothers. His rejection of Gowon's appointment would have have altered the pre-civil war event. The North ( and the rest of Nigeria would have forced to deal with the terms of our unity as a NIgerian.

This is the crux of the matter.

Word! Couldn't have said it better.

bigdoo:
Buhari is not fit to rule Nigeria.  He is a tribalist and an Islamic fundamentalist.  He should aspire to rule his state as governor where he is free to establish Sharia rule.  He does not stand a chance to rule Nigeria again.  He should be thankful to his Allah that he once ruled Nigeria by overthrowing a civilian government or else his name would have never been written in Nigerian history.  Ruling a nation like Nigeria in the 1980’s by force in a military government is quite different from getting elected democratically in a free and fair election in Nigeria of today.  Buhari should say goodbye to Nigerian politics having found out more than once that he is not and will never be the people’s favourite.

+100

Retardeen MumuNmadu Buhari should go and rest. Nigerians have rejected him 3 times already!

Another Retarddeen Buhari thread?


Na wa ooo

Okija_juju:
BIAFRA!! Thats all bullshit sentiments that will die out in the next 10 years!

Ojukwu! Is not a hero!! Never was! And Never will be!

My Take is this; Anambra State can declare a week of Public hliday and mourning to mark his exit (Its not like the State has anything important they are doing anyways).

But any State that lowers our National Flag to mourn a man who fought to divide our unity, That states government and assembly men should be arrested and tried for treason.  

In my books he was no hero!!

To others he was a God!

But that said, Nigeria will not give a terrorist a state burial. NEVER!!  

Indeed well spoken. Ojukwu was no hero to you;

But to millions of true Igbos, and honorable Nigerians, Ojukwu is not a Hero, he was a legend, a mythological figure.
Awed in life, revered in death.

True Nigerians, and those who REALLY MATTER know who and what Ojukwu is. Those are the people that count and should be counted, not some faceless Nairalanders like you and I.  

Chart your own path or cry your heart out. And if any state decides to fly the useless Nigeria flag at half mast for the legend, there is nothing any body dead or alive can do about it. Your treason call is nothing but frustrated chant borne out of crass ignorance.

Ojukwu has achieved immortality!

How Ikemba Ojukwu will be buried or not, thankfully will be not be decided by the myopic lots of Nairaland.

For all I know he will be given state burial;
By Nigeria or Biafra, either way Igbos are cool with it; the struggle for emancipation of (or from) Nigeria will continue.

Nice development.

As for subsidy removal, it's just a matter of time.

Yes Sanusi is wrong on the economy but Tinubu/ACN is right. Clap for yourself, you are very sharp.
Maybe Tinubu should become the CBN governor while you Gbawe take over the leadership of SE.

As for showing me where I blindly support my kinsmen, I am curious to see such. Show me!

"Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives."

Ojukwu is dead, but he truly lived!
RIP Soldier!

buhari, n co should keep their crocodile tears and quit using Ojukwu's death to revive ailing political career. very shameful

sad that abokis are the ones bringing this nation to the brink with their relentless blood letting. very sad.

The CBN Governor must be in cahoot with the selfish SE leaders since he also favoured subsidy removal going by your warped reasoning?

Don't mind that lying tongue Ahj harem. Umeh the chairman of APGA is on record calling for SNC, but lairs like that discredited aboki would want to say otherwise for selfish purpose. SNC is necessary today to prevent war tomorrow!

Completing project initiated by your predecessor is as good as initiating one of your own. Initiating project just to have your name stick to it without any intention of completing it has been the bane of Nigeria. I would be more than happy if GEJ completes just 20% of over 2000 abandoned projects in Nigeria.

Or simplify the whole process and bury him with full honour as late President of Biafra. That will surely keep the amber of Biafra alive.

Nigerian hero or Biafran legend, Whichever way Ojukwu will not be buried like an ordinary man.

Lay off south-east leaders you blood sucking myopic clowns. They have taken their position while your leaders sit as usual on the fence.

Subsidy on fuel should go. ENOUGH SAID!

This is a good one, coming from the private sector.

Rest In Peace Ikemba.
Rest assured that we have learned from your deep philosophy and shall carry on your vision.

Good Night!

lol.

AregbeRascal might not be coming alone oo.
2,000 OYES Gbosa is looking for you!

Beaf:

Don't mind them, o jare!

Poor Aregbesola, imagine him being falsely blamed for not paying 3 months salaries, gallivanting in Lagos and the fact that Osun's students have been at home for months!
We must find the blackmailers that are responsible for these things! How can they spoil Aregbe's name like that?
We must dig out the winshes that chose Aregbes commissioners after a whole 9 months of doing nothing!

Police must lock up anybody that says Aregbe is the most useless politician in 9ja, just because instead of paying workers, he sent only 19 buses of aluta's to fan Tinubu's horridly torrid arse in Abuja.

We must find dem o!!!

Aregbesola must slap anybody that says dry season has come and Harmattan is even almost almost setting in. They are only saying it to spoil the RASCAL's name.

Aregbe must slap dem o!!! TAWAI!

I hope you still have your helmet?

At this rate, Aregbe would not only slap you Tawai, he would dropkick and Karate-kick you.

20 die in fresh Plateau crisis
Friday, 25 November 2011 00:00 From Lemmy Ughegbe (Abuja), Njadvara Musa (Maiduguri) and Isa Abdulsalami (Jos) News - National


FRESH violence in Plateau State yesterday led to the death of 20 people and the destruction of property as Berom natives and Fulani herdsmen clashed at the Barkin Ladi Local Council of the state.

And from the fundamentalist Islamic sect Boko Haram came yesterday what was far from a whimper of a cringing, defeated foe. It was rather an expression of a steely resolve yesterday as the sect vowed to attack the offices of political parties nationwide.

In the sect’s first public statement since the court convicted its alleged spokesman, Ali Sanda Umar Konduga, it denied any links with politicians and disowned Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, former Borno State Governor,Ali Modu Sheriff and Konduga.

The conviction of Konduga on Tuesday was expected to weaken the sect. But from indications yesterday, that expectation is far-fetched.

Speaking in a phone interview with reporters yesterday at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) press centre in Maiduguri, a spokesman of the sect, Abu Darda said: “What we have been reading on the pages of newspapers, are not true, because the State Security Service (SSS) is employing Ali Sanda Umar Konduga to smear the image and reputation of the sect by associating its activities and members with politicians and parties in the country.”

He said that the association of the sect with politicians and political parties was against Islam and the full implementation of the Sharia legal system in the 12 states in the North.

He said that to prevent further association of the sect with politicians and their parties, the sect would attack all political party’s buildings at the federal and ward levels in the North. It further warned that failure to revoke the agreements on renting out such offices could lead to the possible assassination of their owners by the sect before the end of this week.

The Special Adviser to the Plateau State Governor on Media, Mr. Pam Ayuba said that one Inspector of Police who was dressing for work at Barkin Ladi Police Division was shot dead in his house. A councilor, Pam Choji Pam, lost four children and his car to the violence.

Since the security agencies could not just shoot at people at random especially when the two warring sides refused to sheathe their swords, the Special Task Force (STF) immediately imposed a 24-hour curfew on Barkin Ladi until further notice.

A brief statement by the STF spokesman, Captain Charles Ekeocha, said the measure had become necessary in order to forestall further destruction of lives and property. “Lives have been lost. Houses have been burnt. The casualty figure and the number of burnt houses are not yet known. Residents of Barkin Ladi, by this curfew, are advised to remain indoors as STF has taken this measure to prevent further loss of lives and property,” he said.

Yesterday’s attack was a fall-out of the Sunday attack where about seven people were killed in Razat village of the same Barkin Ladi. There has been tension since that incident.

According to a resident in Barkin Ladi, “I saw armed civilians in the morning who mobilised themselves and stormed the town. They started burning houses and killing people they met on the road. I don’t know who the people are. But right now, Fulani people are mobilising themselves towards Gashish and Kurra Falls villages in Barkin Ladi. One Islamiyya school in Barkin Ladi, which belongs to the Hausa/Fulani, was burnt while about three churches were also burnt.”

The Commander of the STF, Maj.-Gen. Olayinka Oshinowo, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Emmanuel Dipo Ayeni and other security chiefs have shifted their offices to Barkin Ladi. Cars and pedestrians going to the town were all turned back because of the curfew.

It was also gathered that the government’s project, African Training Centre (ATC) was nearly burnt by the hoodlums but were prevented while a mobile policeman was allegedly wounded in the encounter.

An eyewitness said that since Sunday, there had been an upsurge of indiscriminate stabbing of people leading to heightened tension. People were witnessing casualties being carried to the hospital, prompting questions as to where the dead were coming from.

According to the eyewitness, “on Wednesday, two people who rode on a motorcycle on Barkin Ladi Road shot at three passers-by, killing two and wounding one while a stray bullet hit a man who went to charge his cell phone nearby.”

Although the STF spokesman said that there was an uncountable number of burnt houses, the casualties were not as many as burnt houses. The Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Apev Jacob said that he did not have the details about what happened in Barkin Ladi because he had not been briefed.

But Ayeni said that “there is an emergency.”

Briefing journalists yesterday evening, Commissioner for Information, Mr. Yiljap Abraham, said that casualty figures were still being collated and would be made known at the end. He added that 60 arrested hoodlums had been brought to Jos, pointing out that the cause of the attack was still being investigated.

He disclosed that the Police Inspector who was killed was Dalyop Pinda.

Meanwhile, the trial of Shuaibu Abubakar and five others accused of complicity in the bombing of the Suleja Office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been adjourned till today.

At the resumed trial, a former suspected member of Boko Haram, Ahmed Hassan Ezimakor, revealed how he assisted six members of the sect to procure detonators and cables allegedly used for the bombing of INEC and the All Christians Fellowship Mission also in Suleja, Niger State.

Another witness, Mohammed Dalhatu also known as Zimbo also testified before Justice Bilkisu Aliyu that he procured the detonators and delivered them to Malam Shuaibu Abubakar who is the first accused person.

Under cross-examination, Malam Dalhatu, however, told the court that he did not know the purpose for which the detonators and cables were bought by Abubakar and the five other accused persons.

Eleven people, mostly National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members died in the bomb explosion at INEC’s Suleja office on April 8, 2011.

Sanusi Lamio Sanusi said

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

Zilch.

@Topic,
In summary,

In administration he achieved a - retreat.
In educating he achieved an attempt.
In agriculture he achieved a strategy.
In OYES, 2000 contracted grass cutters at 10000 a month.
In Tourism he achieved promises.
Overall he would lay foundation (perhaps for the next administration)

Aregberascal, carry go nothing do you. You are the best governor in Nigeria.

Aregberascal for president 2015!

[size=18pt]117km Enugu Monorail System To Cost $1.5bn[/size]

ACanada-based engineering firm, Globim Corporation, handling the Enugu Monorail System, has said that the 177-kilometre long project  will cost approximately $1.5 billion.

However, the first phase of the project will cost $246 million.

The Chairman of the company, Dr Jude Igwemezie, who disclosed this in a statement, said the first phase of the project expected to be completed in three years would be 21 kilometres long with six lines.

According to him, “this will be the lowest cost of any monorail of similar size and capacity ever built anywhere.

“In all, the 117-kilometre equivalent single line monorail system in Enugu will cost approximately $1.5 billion.

“The monorail, which will be electrically powered on a straddle beam, will not depend on Nigeria’s epileptic power supply, as diesel generators strategically located on the lines will power the trains.”

He stated that the project would be 100 per cent financed by Globim Corporation, “which would deliver the best, safe and most conducive intra-city transportation system.”

He made it known that the project would be executed at no cost to the state government, while Globim will deliver over a concession period of 30 years from the initial opening and operation of the lines.
