Don't say what you don't have perfect knowledge off.

The civil war 1967-1970 came about as a result of reoccurring massacre of igbos by hostile and intolerant Hausa/Fulani beginning from 1945.

The current agitation for Biafra is borne out of injustice and repression of igbos over the years such as neglect of the region's roads,presence of military personnel everywhere in the east as if its a war zone while other regions are allowed to enjoy normal life etc.

"Such as neglect of the regions roads. ...." yet you guys were giving 99% votes to PDP for 16 years....... had 4senate presidents from the east ........ had the minister of finance , CBN governor , SGF. .....all this while no one realised the roads in the south east are in bad shape
But the moment PDP lost power at the centre their eyes open and start blaming other NIGERIANS for their misfortune even when its clear to all that they are the architect of their own misfortunes.

What has IPOB done to you that would make you tag them intolerant, dishonourable, disrespectful or lazy?
These people have an objective to protect their own from those who wish and do them ill, and they [IPOB] go about their campaign in a peaceful manner through peaceful street protests, sit-at-home boycotts, flag distribution and pasting, and generally creating awareness.
Just like their sister organization, the movement f

What will you call Nnamdi Kanu's hate speeches on radio biafra ? Freedom of speech abi?
IPOB activities is the opposite of tolerance .

Igbos are tolerant

Then

Islam is a religion of peace.

you are ignorant of what you are saying....who is pdp, who is apc........ vast majority of apc are cloned from pdp
#change my foot#

You are the ignorant one and I don't blame you, I'm sure some network provider has given you some free MB which you are now abusing by using it to make false statements. The fact is that the nPDP members in APC are just about 10%. The vast majority of APC members are from the legacy parties of ANPP....ACN....CPC and a faction of APGA. all were opposition parties that were slugging it out with PDP in their various regions .
Educate yourself and stop listening to beer parlour gossips...

By Dr Tom Ohikere

The clarification by the management of the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) that Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye truly graduated from the institution did not only lay to rest the malicious and self stretched allegation of certificate forgery against him but it also showed how jaundiced the media has become in the contemporary democracy.

A controversial online News medium, Sahara Reporters had alleged that Senator Melaye did not graduate from ABU, alleging that, the Kogi West Senator did not pass some core courses which could have qualified him for graduation. Senator Melaye has since sued the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore to a federal High Court sitting in Abuja for alleged defamation of character and cyberstalking.

Senator Melaye is demanding 5 billion naira for damages. Surprisingly however, some main stream media also joined the Mêlée of self-tagged investigative journalism aimed at denting the image of distinguished Senator Melaye and possibly silencing him from ventilating his mind while carrying out his constitutional assignment as a distinguished senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Punch in its Sunday edition being 26th March, 2017 alleged that its investigation into the certificate forgery allegation took a new dimension as it said, Senator Dino’s name was not found on the ABU Alumni’s website thereby lending its voice to the belief that Dino did not graduate from the school. This has further proven the dearth of investigative journalism in Nigeria and endanger nascent and reduce the trust that people have in the media.

However, some analysts have said that, the certificate scandal could be traced to the Senator Dino’s stand and his outspokenness on some issues of national importance which is perceived in most cases to be variance from the prism of the power that be. A point of order was subsequently raised by Senator Ali Ndume calling the attention of the upper chamber to the alleged certificate forgery as reported in a section of the media which necessitated the Red Chamber to mandate its committee of Ethic and Privilege and Public petitions to investigate the case. The committee which was headed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, met on Monday with Senator Melaye and the Vice Chancellor of ABU, Prof. , Ibrahim Garba in attendance.

Meanwhile, On his part, Prof Ibrahim who sighted the school’s record, said Senator Melaye successfully graduated from the school with a third class in Geography. As the time Senator Melaye was studying Geography in ABU, geography department was still domiciled at the school’s faculty of Art before it was later moved to the faculty of Science after a deliberation on the scientific nature of geography by the school authorities. This explains why his certificate reads BA in geography.

However, while addressing the committee, Senator Melaye tendered several documents before the hallowed committee to substantiate his stand that he truly and successfully went through ABU and has his certificate to that regards. Among the document tendered by Senator Melaye included, his admission latter, the acceptance letter, his final year result, his statement of results and his NYSC discharge certificate. Still for the records, senator Melaye who is presently pursuing his 2nd degree of masters in law enforcement and criminal justice, after acquiring masters in international affairs and diplomacy.

Before now, ABU, Zaria has sent his transcript to University of Jos for advance diploma in law, security and conflict management. He is also presently rounding up another masters degree in policy analysis in university of Abuja, he has since completed his course work and presently working on his thesis for defense. Having failed in his malicious attempts to nail Dino to the wall of disgrace, Sahara Reporters and his cohorts are now wallowing in their self inflicted pains and are still finding it extremely difficult to nurse their wounds. Rather than being ashamed of his biased reports, and for unnecessarily heating up the polity, Sahara Reporters who always claims of being an Omnipresent Media house still went ahead to discredit what ABU’s VC said. It is only with Sahara Reporters that a department’s exams officer of a university has powerful voice than the Vice Chancellor who by laws is known as the Chief Executive of the school.

The truth is, Sahara Reporters has overstayed its welcome in our country and it is high time appropriates authorities regulate the activities of the media and probably shift off the non professional among them otherwise, it will reach a point whereby the same media that was used to fight for the return of our democracy will still be the same arsenal to kill the democracy. It has become a whipping stick in the hands of the power that be to attack those who see things differently from the view of its paymasters, otherwise, how would Sahara Reporters whose Publisher studied Geography and Planning think that, an individual can forge a geography certificate from a prestigious university, such as the Ahmadu Bello University and get away with it?

This also showed how fake the so-called journalistic investigation of this era has become. I am a not graduate of ABU, Zaria, but one thing we have known ABU for over the year is its precious integrity. ABU’s glory over time is in the integrity of its certificate. And the pride of ABU over the years lies in the joy that each of its graduates can always be proud of its certificate not minding the class of the degrees. Let me put the record straight without equivocation that Senator Dino never says he served in 1999 but posted a photo of his final year set of 1999/2000 Academic session set in NYSC camp who were posted to Kaduna for service. It suffice it to say that, Senator Melaye presented his NYSC discharge certificate on Monday while addressing the aforementioned senate committee but it should also be noted that Senator Melaye’s NYSC discharged certificate did not read 1999 as those who are in the business of blackmailing are alleging.

A perusal through Dino Melaye’s NYSC discharged certificate shows that, he started his national service year between 9th July, 2000 through 8th July, 2001 and he served at the Police College, Kaduna. The record is there for any doubting Thomas to verify. The intelligent Senator did only serve his fatherland with lethargy but with always the passion and energy within his which made him to win the Director General NYSC’s national price. An uncommon feat that could only be achieved by dedicated corps members who have vowed the serve their fatherland both in the sun and the rain.

A lot of people who do not know much about Senator Melaye may not know that, the distinguished Senator is not only courageous and outspoken but he is also an intelligent individual with good academic records from his formative years. Dino melaye has exhibited many leadership traits from birth as from class one to five in primary school, he was the class monitor while in class 6 he was made the school’s head boy and in secondary school, he was the class monitor from form JSS one and later emerged as the school’s deputy head. Besides, Senator Melaye was the president of the school’s press and debate club. He attended AbdulAzeez Attah Memorial college, Okene.

It is therefore instructive to tame unprofessionalism associated with the modern day journalism in the country especially that the country is warming up for the 2019 general elections whose timetable has been released by the Nation’s electoral umpire, INEC.

This long epistle for a case that is already before a court of law? Yet you say some journalists are jaundiced
what will you be called ?
Ignoramus
wait until the outcome of the court case.
Useless paid writter

PMBNG:
Obasanjo is not a presidential aide in this govt.
as at now he is just an ordinary Nigerian just like you.

come to think of it, is it not this same Obasanjo you want to portray as a saint that introduced ghana-must-go bags in National Assembly because of his 3rd term agenda?

Obj introduced Ghana must go to NASS and the thieves there didn't reject the ghana must go because they lack integrity. ....all this happened under PDP

Under Apc nothing like that is happening, yet some of you will still say there is no change .
INDEED THERE IS CHANGE EVERYWHERE FROM NASS TO JUDICIARY.
CHANGE IS HERE.

numericalguy:
Na wa ooo... This brown envelope blogger called Sowore is so desperate to tarnish the image of Dino that he is now using his Nairaland accounts to attack Dino.

Calms down shebi Dino don sue them wait until trial and see evidence against Dino before concluding. So SR is now brown envelope blogger because they are exposing your fraudulent mentors but if they were to be exposing other people they will be white envelope blogger abi . Continue

And
THIS is husband Number what ?

chuksbogus:
This is how stupid ,biased and unreasonable we can be in this. country. See how Dino issue is raising dust.some shouting present your certificate !my class mate this my class mate that.Buhari had this same issue and some mumu people were saying even if he like let him bring bread label that he is qualified.Till today Buhari have not shown us his certificate.

Even if Dino was rusticated he is qualified to be in that house !!! what is good for the geese is also good for the gander

Buhari cannot show you any certificate because he has told you all repeatedly (if you refuse to listen its your problem) that his waec certificate along with other documents were destroyed by soldiers who raided his house after he was overthrown .so even if you will see a buhari waec certificate it will be a duplicate and not original.
Dino has not said his certificate is lost so DINO SHOW YOUR CERTIFICATE
Dino has not come out to say anything

sgtponzihater:
The greatest problem with Ponzi schemes is that you can never plan a life out of it. The moment you think you'll make a withdrawal and meet a deadline they come bringing rules that leave you either frustrated or desperate.

It's with a sense of humility that I tell you that GHWW crashed as predicted. Several people missed deadlines or had to loose important business or academic pursuits because of that Ponzi scheme. As always GHWW blamed enemies for their travails whereas they themselves where the enemy of the people. They where ripping our people off with reckless abandon and Sgt Ponzi Hater had to fight back not with a gun but with a voice.


Today a cycle of Get help is gone. That cycle left many disillusioned and frustrated. A neighbour turned enemy apogized passionately to me. A friend I had warned not to invest had previously bought me a drink but came with an artist to do a free hand drawing of me at no cost. He thanked me again, the money he would have thrown away was for a major project he just wanted to raise it with 30%.

There are die hard Ponzi fans I agree but many singing the praises of GHWW exclusive are greedy desperate folks who want their money back. Don't let the scammers fool you.

Innovate,

Shun Ponzi Schemes.

Sgt Ponzi Hater

When I saw your Ghwkiller thread I started warning my colleagues who were into it to stop immediately but they refused now the thing has crashed and they are all still shouting bad press, enemies. ...... smh

Princesaha:
What concerns Biafra with the issue being discussed here. Anyway, i do not blame you. It is obvious that the mere mention of Biafra gives u hypertension and also shortens your life span. Anyway, just know that it is an ideology and nothing you can do about it. If it vex you too much, strap a bomb to your waist and waste your useless life just as your people used to do. Ode.

Who be this biafra erat ?
that's what I'm telling you guys you are now paranoid and jittery any mention of a contrary opinion to yours is one of the 'the enemy'
you will soon die of hypertension

tifany89:
You are part of the problem of this country. If u actually read all that n all u could come up with is such a daft comment. Where in this write up did u see anything about religious n ethnic bigotry. Even if dere is, can u fault the writer? Am sure ur comment would v been different if ur friend or a family member was involved

Mumu read again the first paragraph and cone here to masturbate on my mention .
ASHAWOOOOOO

intrepid:
Hahahahahaha @Rolings.

I knew from the outset that your fear, and the instigator of that terror in your mind is the "Biafra" hint.

Why are you so scared?

Calm down bro. Biafra won't hurt you and please, save yourself the heartache early enough and stop wishing that it never happened because, for your information, it's a concluded course.

Biafra is already here and 1 billion of you and your "Nairaland" (I wonder what you mean by that), cannot stop it.

Begin to adapt or learn how you gonna adapt to the reality cos it a moving train that would crush folks like you if you dare stand on its way.

Your shouting that Biafrans or IPOB is a terrorist group doesn't make sense anymore because people now know the truth.
Deal with it bro.

The real people who are afraid are the Igbos who still have the victim mentality ingrained in their brain...... Your leaders have lied to you over and over again that other Nigerians are your enemy , that you should watch your shoulder every time and read tribal and religious meaning to everything around you . After years of this propaganda and brainwash you have become paranoid and if care is not taken will eventually lead to your end.

Again

NAIRALAND SAYS NO TO BIAFRA

hedonistic:
People like you are disgusting. So the only thing you can identify in this thought provoking and revealing article is bigotry? You are blind to the bitter facts and injustice exposed in the article, merely because you identify with the religion or tribe of the chief susoect? Why not comment on the MAIN POINT of the article? You people are just too disgusting.

Your response is nauseating . The main point is that a judicial process has been exhausted and a verdict given yet someone here is saying its because a criminal is igbo that's why he was sentenced even when a case is proved against him and a criminal is hausa that was why he was let go even when no case could be proven against him.
when you stop having the victim mentality when you start seeing beyond your being igbo and when you stop seeing other Nigerians as your enemy you will begin to have sense.
gerahahia

Most of the comments here shows most people are ignorant of what the rally was all about and the blame goes to the OP who misled them into believing this was A JAMBOREE RALLY MEANT TO WELCOME THE PRESIDENT BACK FROM MEDICAL LEAVE.

FAR FROM IT

The rally was among other things meant to pressure the president into signing into law the peace corps Bill and to formulate policies aimed at the providing jobs for youth. The national president of NYCN was on a programe of Radio Nigeria to talk about this rally yet someone is here saying it was a jamboree rally

intrepid:
THALAMUS, it's really painful how things happen here. Fact is that we have too many vampires and sadists in the army and police. We also have those who always see anything that wants to expose the ills of society with jaundiced eyes. Example is the comment from ROLINGS.

Why won't some soldiers and police be stupid and wicked when guys like Rolings(he may be a soldier or pilice), are always out to defend them?

I posted an article about obvious miscarriage of justice which obviously tints towards ethnicity and your bigoted eyes and mind d refused to see it but instead turned to call me bigoted.

May God save his people from this country

You and Thalamus I insist are ethnic and tribal Bigots. There is no miscarriage of justice anywhere in the case and its only because you are blinded by ethnic and religious beliefs that makes you think there has been a miscarriage of justice .

The problem with you BIAFRA agitators is that having failed to convince mainstream Igbos into your agitation you have become jittery and paranoid that you are pursuing a failed cause......no matter how you try to whip up sentiments for your failed cause you will FAIL.

NAIRALAND SAYS NO TO BIAFRA

samfuntua:
Sir, Your comment makes me believe there is no hope for Nigeria
Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shame on your generation

Princesaha:
You must be crazy, dude. For your information, they were discharged and acquitted because they are Northern Muslims. Simple and short.

Thanks for calling me crazy because I'm mad at fools like you who only think religion with every aspect of their life . Im sure you ask your pastor before having sex with your partner.
A criminal is a criminal . Whether muslim or christian . Hausa Igbo or yoruba.
As far as reasonable humans are concerned it is a judicial process that has brought about this judgement and not ethnic sentiments. Those police guys made self confession is it because they are hausa or igbo? Did the armourer named Chukwu who planted guns on apo6 do it because they were igbo?

You are an ethnic and religious bigot

The moment you stop reading religious meaning to everything you start seeing clearly. Your write up would have made sense if you had not made it a religious thing. Crime is a crime no matter the religion of its perpetrators.
You are a religious and tribal bigot.

The Christians have sent their Archbishop of Canterbury (I guess he is the closest since the pope is in Rome) to confirm if PMB is really alive .hale and hearty

Weldon

Babachir was right its the Christians that wish BABA sickness and death.

Shekau should surrender too

With time he will

mykelmeezy:
check the meaning of flaw


i don't fully agree with the op certainly not


but he asked a meaningful question we are all ignoring


sustainability



first off I believe the dollar crisis was man made


the government brought out the policy n scored a political point



but on the long run..(worst case scenario)


is it sustainable


if the reserves start falling?
if the militant starts bombing?
are we willing to continue the policy or


there will be the sudden but this time more excruciating rise in dollar price?

So much contradicting statements from you. The government brought out the policy to score a political point because the last government depleted our reserves and gave out our foreign reserves to political godfathers coupled with dwindling oil revenues .......... what then did those who stole our dollars do? They unleashed their boys in the creek to cripple the economy all in the hope of making the government backtrack on its policy ............. but the strong determination of the government to ensure the right thing is done made sure they didn't succeed ........... now they have unleashed their internet warriors and paid bloggers just like the CBN governor have been saying.

mykelmeezy:
mentality like this is why nigeria is stagnant


op had some flaws in his post but was he wrong??


no


how long can we sustain it thats the

million dollar question

Even if the OP made some points should he lie and mislead people? Dollar is nowhere near 400 naira officially. The Op Is a forex trader and any appreciation of the naira is bad news to him hence this write up.
For so long people like the Op and other speculators have held the whole country to ransom but that will end soon.

TRUTH

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
