Your definition of a great man is skewed and partial...

Ojukwu d bull swore to go to war with biafrans and die by their side.

Only for him to lead his blind entourage to the slaughter house and hand to his enemies, his father's machete...

Left to me you are all d same...you won't hesitate to abandon ur fellow kinsmen when the pan garners more heat.

To think u can call such a coward ur hero is the height of ur shameless stupendity.

Biafrans are not one...clearly proven by Ojukwu himself...

Even if u do secede, you lot will end up killing each other like the animals u really are.

Ojukwu was a great man and a hero. He led Igbos to war, went into exile, came back and still led his people. As the heir to the wealthiest Nigerian at the time, he was not greedy and only interested in securing his wealth which was mostly in enemy territory, Lagos. He stood like a man and said enough; you cannot continue to kill my brethren. What is traitor-like in that. He did not reason like your brothers today who boot-lick just to amass wealth at the expense of his kinsmen.

Anyway, I wonder why you are crying more than the bereaved. If, as you allege, Ojukwu abandoned us, how is it your problem? It's none of your business. Shogbo?

If the Igbos had a warped sense of reasoning like you and your ilks they would not have given him a rousing welcome the day he came back from exile. And today, that APGA is still standing is because of Ojukwu.

Why don't you mind your business and ruminate over the cowardly act of awolowo who took rat poison, and the more cowardly act of his brothers who are too ashamed to tell the world how their hero died. We all know how Ojukwu, Fajuyi, Fela, Azikiwe, etc died. But how did Awo die? Do a research on this it will do you good.

TRUTHTOPOWER:
Discretion "to run from battle" exercised after death of about 2 million of your own people is nothing but wickedness laced with cowardice. Assuming Awo and Abiola chose to fight like your hero, I guess Yorubas will be talking of £20, Kwashiokor, genocide, marginalisation, secession. Why Awo and Abiola would have the likes of Bianca as widows and fat estates for their children. go on brother, I suppose some people are to pay for their leaders "heroism" with the blood of the followers. Funny enough Kanu's own heroism is already being paid for again with blood. We don't envy your place as the canon fodder of your heroes. I rather want my hero yo die for me!

My friend, have you heard about the cliche: 'no dead heroes'? I bet you haven't. There is even a movie titled after this cliche.
Only enlightened people know that a hero is better alive than dead. Ask Wole Soyinka, David Mark and Tinubu who ran away from Abacha into exile. They recognized the principle of self preservation.

It still beats my imagination why someone who killed himself through the most ignominious way should be regarded highly. I believe it must be out of collective idiocy by people who believe their heroes should commit rat poison suicide without anyone taking up the gauntlet in their dead heroes' place.

Ojukwu is a traitor...it's only because u ppl are lily livered that it took this long for the chosen one to be born or reincarnated again. grin


U ppl are such dumb fools


I forsee Nnamdi kalu running amok limbs over head from battle

To you he might be a traitor, but to me he is a great man. Regarding the Ikemba a great man or traitor depends on the side you are on.

The first high profile traitor to be convicted in Nigeria was Awolowo; he was convicted for trying to topple the government of the day in the 60s. He had treason running in his blood and eventually killed himself just to escape the consequences of another treason committed by him in the 80s

According to Channels TV, Brigadier General Sani Usman who is the spokesperson of the army has claimed that since 2014, the Nigerian Army never ever declared Shekau dead.

Sani said the army has never declared Shekau dead before and reiterated that he will be captured soon.

He said: “From July 2014 to date nobody especially on the part of the Nigeria Army has ever said Shekau was dead

“And If you are following things carefully, there is an individual that is coming up on the social media to claim responsibility and leadership of Boko Haram, that is the person we are talking about.

If you are in possession of our wanted terrorists’ poster, you would have known that is the person we are talking about and we are so determined to meet up with that deadline to either kill him or capture him”

The army has vowed to carry out the order given by Tukur Buratai to capture the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, dead or alive within 40 days.

According to Channels TV, Brigadier General Sani Usman who is the spokesperson of the army confirmed this in Buniyadi, Yobe state.

This was during a close door session Buratai had with the troops particularly the troops of 27th Taskforce, the Nigeria Army Special Forces School


The soldiers applauded Buratai for his work and concern and promised that Buratai will be captured within 40 days.

Sani said: “The clearance operation of the remnants of these criminals that calls themselves Boko Haram will be decisively dealt with to a logical conclusion”

Sani said the army has never declared Shekau dead before and reiterated that he will be captured soon.

u call dat coward a great mahn....

Yes. Only a great and wise man would know that discretion is the better part of Valor.

So many men have died, not from bravery, but idiocy.

People like Ironsi, Abiola, Awolowo, etc. all died because they thought they were being brave. You catch my drift?

Igbokwe is only acting in accordance with the meaning of his name: (if Igbos agree).

He has not done anything after finding out if Igbos will accept it or not. He acts first and then begins to ask Igbos to accept his ideas.

Integrityfarms:
Apc have always been confused since the day they won the election

I agree with you.

They were shocked and confused that they won and that GEJ conceded defeat. Perhaps they expected a fight from PDP over the outcome of the election.

The great man. Don't mind your infantile critics. Nnamdi Kanu has kept the flag flying high.

Continue to Rest in peace.

Self-inflicted. Lubbish.

Op, kudos to you.

Security and Regulatory Agencies are part of the problem with Nigeria.

chinoxstock:
Did I discriminate anybody? We loved okorocha that was why we voted for him even though we knew of his simple background, small beginning and paternity status..but he disappointed his people, betrayed them for his personal gains.
So his time has passed.

Kanu is the king. Ohamadike is bigger than Nigeria politics..

Bros, no mind that igbodefender guy. He lacks understanding of the meaning of discrimination. Okorocha does not have the genuine interest of Igbos at heart because he is not himself a full blooded Igboman.

APC house of commotion.

He is the worst, in fact the most clueless and confused.

Buruku Bridge ko, Burukutu flyover ni.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has described his party as undemocratic in the way its leaders carry out their activities.

Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, lamented the alleged refusal of the party to organise statutory meetings for the organs of the party.

The Sun reports the former vice president, who spoke at the second Inter Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC) annual conference 2017 on internal democracy, complained about the alleged lack of internal democracy in the APC and other parties.

Atiku said: “The issue of internal democracy in our political parties has been with us for a long time, indeed since the restoration of civilian rule in 1999.

“In long-established democracies those statements would seem trite. But I recognise that our democracy is young, and our parties are also rather young.


“As a result, they are still wrestling with issues of party building, party structures, internal democracy and the nature of the relationship between parties and members, parties and legislatures and parties and government as well as among parties themselves.

“We had a very long period of authoritarian rule in Nigeria, ending in 1999. The legacy of that period is still with us as can be seen in our various governance institutions.

“Indeed even elements of that authoritarian past still wield power and influence in our country as we try to transition from that legacy.


“Also the structure of our economy is such that the state remains the most important source of economic opportunity.

“This heightens the struggle for state power and helps to shape the relationship between parties and members, among parties and among the various arms of government.


“It is, therefore, a huge challenge to democratize governance and the political parties in our country.

“But, as the theme of this conference makes clear, internal democracy in our political parties is very important for the parties, their members and for the country.

“The absence of internal democracy in our parties is a major reason our democracy remains fragile and why the quality of leadership that we produce has not matched our expectations and the challenges facing us as a nation.

"It is also one of the reasons it has been very difficult to hold leaders to account. Internal party democracy is important enough that it was one of the areas addressed by the Electoral Reform Committee headed by Justice Mohammed Lawal Uwais many years ago.

“But we know that power wielders hardly voluntarily enlarge the democratic space. That is why I’ve often opined that internal party democracy will only come with genuine electoral reforms in the country.

"Such reforms, broadly along the Justice Uwais Committee Recommendations, which will further strengthen the independence of INEC and ensure that votes count, will encourage parties to field popular candidates in elections.

“And that in turn will encourage parties to allow internal democracy so members have the freedom to choose and express their opinions. Thus the role of godfathers and executive intrusion in the affairs of parties and elections will be diminished.

“In my view, there is a close relationship between democracy within political parties and democracy within the nation. Put simply you cannot give what you don’t have.

“You cannot build democracy on a substructure of dictatorship and intolerance.

“A political party that constricts the freedom of its members cannot really offer freedom to the citizens of the nation. Democracy is not just an idea; is a cultural practice.

“For a number of years now we have had political parties, even governing ones, which hardly hold meetings of their important organs, including those meant for the democratic selection of their leadership, or even constitute institutions prescribed in their constitution.”

Atiku said that was not party building but party bullying.

“And it’s certainly not a way to democratise parties and aggregate their members’ opinions, interests and aspirations.

“This means that efforts to deepen Nigeria’s democracy must include efforts at democratising our political parties.

“The institutionalisation of democracy in our internal party processes will help us deepen democracy in Nigeria.

“Leaders are more likely to tolerate opposition from citizens and other parties if they tolerate it within their own party.

“The lack of internal democracy in political parties is one of the reasons for the fraught relationships among parties and their elected representatives and the legislature and the executive.

“The loyalty of some in the legislature and executive lies not with the party but with a godfather who sponsored them, and the godfather may even be in a rival political party.

“Such anomalies will reduce if internal democracy flourishes in our political parties, and by extension the wider society.

“The selection of leaders in a democracy is a serious business because so many other things ride on it. Whenever we get it wrong the nation or a part thereof suffers.

“We must strive to get it right most of the time. And it is the voters who should freely make that determination. I therefore thank the IPAC for organising this conference and for inviting me to chair it.”

Op, I thought you said '4 SMART things to do'.

Visit ko; Tour ni.

I think it's number 7.

Commendable compilation, good grasp of the different character-trait of each persona in the GOT.

Picture, or ADONBELIEVIT.

Buhari, always in the news for the wrong reasons.

Those lips are a put off, look discolored from smoking. And the last picture be like say she hold cigarette.

OK.

But is what I hear about the abandonment of the economy by Buhari genuine?

Is it true that people are dying on a daily basis due to starvation?

Is it true that unemployed youths, men and women whose business couldn't cope with bad economic recession have taken to crime just to survive?

That our little girls are taking to prostitution just to feed?
