Great news

But shouldn't we be way past this in Nigeria by now? I mean doesn't celebrating this as an achievement seem mediocre? The dude got paid for doing his job, not like they're dashing out the money

I guess being mediocre is the Nigerian way

powerfulsettingz:
See what abi op no get job for this Monday morning?

wow, take it easy friend. Today is not Monday morning, today is Sunday junior. So relax, it's a holiday.

Let's see any past Nigerian president eat like this in peace in public even in foreign countries.

Okorocha learnt the hard way

Comment when you see what is wrong with this pic

Drchristian:
The designer of d visual album is a Nigerian but a yoruba, and d visual art is Osun's pose (yoruba goddess).
Beyonce and jay z has been inspired by fela kuti amongst other yoruba's culture in d album lemonade...You can see d ORI paintings in her visual arts they are all yorubas.

Yorubas don't carry matter 4 head as you people go dey do.

i said clothing..learn to read and comprehend before masturbating all over here. Glad freeglobe has straightened your claim.

Now you want them to be Nigerians but if they commit crimes they're "igbos"

Op, the designers of Beyoncé's clothing in the visual album is also a Nigeria...an Igbo. That's also something you should add

The foundation on these women's faces is enough to plaster a 30 story building..

Lol..hunger in paradise.

Am just glad the 5% and 95% are equally suffering

Every politician in Nigeria shares money. I went to Apc convention once during elections and my friend got paid in dollars. It was reported here but no one took it serious.

The girl I buy vegetables from here in enugu is finer than this. I don't even use the vegetables, I just like it when she bends over in front of me to select them for me..she has the fullest boobs ever.

I threw away the vegetables I bought from her one time after she refused to gimme her number.. ...I still wave @ her whenever I pass by though and she waves back with that killer smile

omenka:
Love this guy. Doesn't give a fvck, just doing his thing with his branded clothes.

Very lucky folks, Anabrarians.

even when you pretend to be nice, **** Worry about your president's $10,000 Italian shoes..@least he's buying Nigerian

Mrjo:
I'm nt sure u read/understand that post. Tribalism destroy this nation.

dont mind them. If they hear news like "international community gives Buhari an award" you'll see them jumping up and down here. Now we should ignore "international"

Some people will throw up in their mouth and swallow it back after reading this report.

Op, good luck on getting this topic to front page

FKO81:
Great man, so far Gov Willie Obiano is working I'm ok, PMB can travel to mars na him sabi

Another giant stride from the land of Giants

He should crush the Fulani herdsmen killers before anything else.

Fulani herdsmen have killed more than a thousand Nigerians jst dese few months, pipeline vandals have killed none..yet he's focusing on vandals, lol. Priorities mr. Man..priorities man

Wch Boko haram did he crush? Just last week they killed Nigerian soldiers and you're here bragging. Cos news agencies don't carry report on Boko haram activities anymore doesn't mean Boko haram has been defeated

Jubilation as Obiano Commissions Anambra MDGs-CGS Water Supply Scheme at Umunze

An Anambra MDGS Water Scheme that will serve well over 35,000 households daily has been commissioned by Gov Willie Obiano at Umunze in Orumba South Local Government Area.

The Water Project located into two zones within Umunze has a total storage capacity of about 870,000 litres of Water with a recticulation potential of 50km.

Gov Obiano, who urged the people of Orumba to take ownership of the project by ensuring the safety and proper use of the facilities provided, also used the opportunity to inform the gathering of ongoing construction of the 10km Ufuma-Awa-NdiUkwuenu-Amansea road which has 3 Bridges and 28 culverts while announcing that work will soon start on the Ezira Road.

Men and women; Young and old as well as APGA party faithful could not hold their joy as they were thrown into cheerful jubilation.

Here are some pictures from the event...

The dude is obviously deluded and seeking attention and they're giving it to him...its like discussing with a mad person, it's painful to watch.

They just want to feel important by talking to igbos

fulanimafia:
May he rest in peace.

Considering his antecedents as a master of disguise to escape the law, and the corruption case he was involved in when he reportedly suddenly died, we would require full photo and video evidence of the burial to keep some lips sealed.

making jokes about the dead...really? How low can a human sink?

It's a shame you're this smart and dollar is 400#, no light and no fuel in your country. isn't it obvious we're cursed

Can I help?

Op, wonderful pix. I was in Anambra last week for a trad, and I must say that place Gracious. I don't even stay in Anambra but that place is a gem. Lagos can't even come close to that Anambra, trust me. Lagos smells with black dirty water everywhere and huge Mosquitos

When the previous administration removed subsidy, the same nigerians from a particular region hurled curses at the president. The former president couldn't do anything right in their eyes.

Now, the same folks are saying subsidy is a scam...smh

He had to use a child this time because he feels he can measure up to her intellectually. Another aljazeera incident might happen is he misbehave..well calculated sha.

Oga, stop playing around in the USA and come and suffer with us here, you put us in this mess now you ran off to go charge your phone and collect Ac in the USA

Heard of the housing project for widows. It was very thoughtful...I knw of a beneficiary to the housing stuff

A dog that always goes back to lick it vomit.

Was it not not this same FFK that once woke the country with a prejudicial article that the Igbos are popular for the "First Odds" in Nigeria?

Confused human being.

typical, attacking the messenger instead of the message..

EastGold:
I don't have time to read the jargons written by the lagos boy. He's fuming. Nonsense

Of course you wouldn't want to read it. In your mind 'it doesn't concern you' and you're already venting without reading it, lemme summarize it for you:

1. GEJ gave igbos a sense of belonging by appointing ihejirika etc to break the post civil war jinx

2. Farmers where attacked in the enugu by fulanis, farmers fought back, police came to arrest farmers that fought back instead of the fulanis

3. Murders of igbos have been the increase like the pre-war times.

4. Suppressing of igbo leader's voices by use of intimidation.

5. More igbos sympathizing with the Biafra cause because of this

...read the very last paragraph on your own

Most people would think "it's not happening to my people so it's none of my business". Nigeria is a sinking ship, it's like saying "my end of the ship is not sinking so it's none of my business". Regardless, when the ship sinks, we all suffer

Ipob is the only voice of the igbos now and everyday, they're gaining more sympathy over the vile of this admin

Thankfully under President Goodluck Jonathan the Igbo managed to do better than at any other time in our history. As a matter of fact this was so much the case that Nigerians from other parts of the country, particularly the Yoruba and the Hausa-Fulani, often sulked about it and openly complained.
Jonathan had a soft spot for the Igbo and I have little doubt that that partiality was borne out of his innate sensitivity to their historical trials and tribulations. It may have been sub-conscious but I have no doubt that it was there.
Unlike others he viewed the Igbo as equals and regarded them as human beings: he treated them with respect and decorum and he gave them their due. Consequently it was under Jonathan that Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika the first Igbo Chief of Army Staff since the civil war was appointed.

It was also under Jonathan that Senator Pius Anyim, the first Igbo Secretary to the Federal Government of Nigeria since independence was appointed.

Sadly when President Muhammadu Buhari was elected into office all that changed and eastern stars stopped shining. Under him the persecution, marginalization, humiliation, detention, state-sponsored executions and assassinations and sectarian and ethnic-motivated murder of the Igbo has reached pre-civil war proportions.

To add to that the Igbo have been treated with more disdain and contempt by the Buhari administration than any other government in our entire history. Permit me to share juat one example of that here.

A few days ago hordes of AK-47-wielding Fulani herdsmen and militants attacked some farms in Enugu state. Fearing that the Agatu treatment may be meted out to them and in order to protect their lives, their families, their property, their livestock and their crops from the murderous vandals and marauders the Igbo farmers organised themselves and fought back gallantly.

Consequently there were casualties on both sides. Instead of the police to come in to apprehend the Fulani aggressors and raiders, seize their weapons and bring them to justice they arrested 76 Igbo farmers. Up until today those farmers are in police custody and their families have had no access to them.

As far as I am aware not one Fulani militant or herdsman was questioned over this incident let alone disarmed, caitioned or arrested. As unbelievable as it may appear this patterm of behaviour by the security agencies has been the norm throughout the Middle Belt and the south since President Buhari has come to power.

They have displayed great reluctance to protect the indigenous people and farmers of those two regions from the pillaging, killing and raping that the Fulani herdsmen always subject them to.

It is also instructive to note that the political leaders of the igbo nation appear to have been so intimidated by this trend of events that none of them has spoken out against the abduction of the Enugu farmers or condemned the barbarous action of the Fulani herdsmen that raided their farms.

As a matter of fact the only two politicians in the entire country that have publicly expressed concern about the safety, whereabouts and plight of the 76 Igbo farmers are both from the south west and they are Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state and yours truly. Fayose did so in an advert in the newspapers a few days ago and I did so in my column last week titled "Of Tyrants, Martyrs and Heroes (Part 2)".

Everyone else, including the Igbo Governors. Senators, Ministers, elders and leaders of their socio-political groups has maintained a curious, submissive and stoic silence on this matter. I guess that is a sign of the times that we are living in and I cannot blame them. Given the circumstances and the obvious constraints of their political leaders and elders why would the younger generation of the Igbo not agitate and fight for the establisment of Biafra?

This is especially so given the fact that it is self- evident that under the leadership of President Buhari igbos, and indeed other southerners, are not just being subjected to violence in the north but they are also being attacked by northerners down in their own states in the south.

Southern leaders are expected to live with this, accept it as the norm and most importantly they are not expected to defend themselves, defend their people or complain about the atrocities that they are being subjected to in their own land.

This hardly kindles hope for the future of our nation and it certainly does not engender confidence in our country or enhance national unity. It is clear that the contempt with which our government views the people of the south and particularly the igbo is obvious and glaring.

President Buhari himself, during one of his interviews with Al Jazeera and during the course of an earlier interview with Nigeria's NTA, displayed that contempt very eloquently when, in answer to a question about Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB's prolonged detention and the increasingly aggressive agitation for Biafra, he asked rather brusquely "what exactly do the Igbo want?"

When he was told that the Igbo felt marginalised by his government he went further on to ask "who is marginalizing who?"

Again before millions of viewers from all over the world President Buhari refused to watch the footage of the extra-judicial killing of some IPOB youths by his security forces when he was asked to do so during his infamous interview with Al Jazeera.

In that same interview he went on to dismiss the legitimate aspirations of and agitation by millions of young people from the eastern part of our country for the creation of Biafra in just one sentence.

He said that if they had any complaints they should agitate for more states in the east instead of yearning for their own country.

One wonders how state creation can appease a generation of angry young Igbos who genuinely believe that their people are being systematically killed off and that they have been turned into slaves and second class citizens by Nigeria.

And this coming from a man who has refused to appoint one single Igbo into the Presidency and who believes that he has done them a favor by appointing five Igbo Ministers into his cabinet.

He forgets that the constitution of our country compels him to appoint at least one Minister per state and that whether he likes it or not he must appoint those five because the Igbos control five states in the Federation each of which must be represented in the cabinet.

It may not be fashionable to say it publicly but the truth is that the Igbo are virtually an endangered species under President Buhari's government.

They have been robbed of their dignity, their sense of self-worth, their self-esteem and their self-respect by our government and the Igbo youth particularly do not believe that they have much of a future left in Nigeria. That is why the agitation for Biafra has reached fever pitch among them.

Whatever anyone feels about Biafra the fact of the matter is as follows: as my friend and brother Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, the former Governor of Abia state, said a few days ago, "the igbo have not been fully integrated back into Nigeria 46 years after the civil war".

The truth is that Nigeria is not working for most of the ethnic nationalities and everyone knows it. And as long as those that hold power at the center today remain in power things will not get any better.

As a matter of fact as long as they are in power things will get worse. In Buhari's Nigeria if you are not from the core north and if you are not a Muslim you do not have much hope of getting to the top or achieving your full potentials.

That is "chanji" for you and that is Buhari's mission and vision. We said it during the Presidential campaign but regrettably few would listen. Now the same people that would not listen are regretting it bitterly and they are saying that we were right.

In Buhari's Nigeria it is one law for the oppressed and another for the ''Born to Rule" oppressor. Whether we wish to admit it or not that is the reality and everyone knows it.

There is also a well-orchestrated attempt to Islamise our country and suppress the practice of Christianity in some parts within our shores. Kaduna state is an example and what is going on there is nothing but a test run for the rest of the country. .

Yet the truth is that everything has its expiry date including religious bigotry, bondage and slavery. The oppressor often forgets that the future belongs to the oppressed.

The Irish experience and the beautiful people of Eire and the Emerald Isle have taught us that. Far away London in merry England was once their capital yet today it is their very own Dublin. If God can do it for them He can also do it for us. It is just a matter of time.

Some will disagree with the contents of this contribution whilst others will hate me for writing it. To such troubled souls I recommend the words of Albert Einstein. He said:

“Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly".

I need say no more.
