Oh yeah? Awolowo one of the most important figures in the history of Nigeria/Africa. The man who came up with free health care, free education, coined our currency “Naira” erected the tallest building in the nation at that time.

Same Awolowo easily shot by Ojukwu and nothing will happen lol haha you people have lost your minds, you are just doing comedy now.

Got anymore funny stories, abeg make we hear am

Are you in doubt Awo would have been easily shot?
Then tell me Abiola or Abacha were not easily poisoned.

lx3as:
Which enemy? Do you think the war just started immediately Gowon took over? Look for books and read about events that preceded the war.

Even there was hostility, there were still dealings and negotiations in which Awo, who was already appointment as minister of finance, was part of...

Definitely true. However, Ojukwu had all it takes to detain him.

The war was already building up...mind you

KingJa:
Please provide a credible source to back up these outlandish claims, so we can believe you and personally apologise to all biafrans for Awolowo’s betrayal but other than that enough of your lies.

They have lead you to the path of destruction.

Hehehehehe...there they come again.....
Why do you think history was erased? It's because of arguments like this.

The Ojukwu interviews.

nyzeo:
I am 33 and I come from a state from the south south. I met a girl in Lagos 4 years ago who is from the south east and we have been very good friends ever since then.

I have developed very strong affection for her over time and we started dating. We really love each other now and we have have finalized plans to get married anytime between this year and early next year.

The issues now is that my parents are insisting I marry from my state, somebody who speaks the same language. It has caused me to have issues with my mother because she is the orchestra of all this tribal bigotry.

Please lala and house memeber make una advice me abeg. I have found someone who truly complements my life I really sincerely love this lady. Thanks

Can't you guys breathe without mentioning SouthEast?

It was not immediately Gowon became Head of State and Ojukwu as Governor, Eastern Region that Civil war started.

A Governor could not just release a Federal prisoner in Calabar prison and the prisoner would walk directly to head of government in Lagos.
There's no way a governor would just release a Federal prisoner. Why didn't Adamawa Governor release Obasanjo when he was a prisoner there?

Notwithstanding, Gowon would not come to Calabar to personally release Awo. Ojukwu as a Governor would have been briefed since Calabar was under his jurisdiction. This is what so difficult for some people to understand.

Only Gowon as the Head of State had the constitutional rights to free Awo and he met him when Awo got to Lagos. I would not also doubt whether Awo met Ojukwu or not. If I was the Governor of Eastern region then or the Calabar prison Head, I can also say I release Awo. It now depends on your brain capability to reason contextually and logically.

So, contextually and logically, Ojukwu obeyed his enemy?....I believe we are speaking logically and contextually now...

Do you know that Ojukwu would have easily shot Awo
And nothing would have happened.... because, just like El Rufai's wife said: In war all is fair.

Do you know Ojukwu could have easily detained Awo as a prisoner of war....and nothing would still happen?

We are only ranting on Nairaland because Awo wasn't shot at once....

Both sides acted in defense of their regions.
RIPP to all our heros past.

Let the past stay where it belongs.

A lot of you don't understand the psychology behind what happened.
1. CNN is the reason why the Arabs formed Aljazeera News.
2. The same reason why we have some other indigenously global news channels.
This is so because CNN,SKY and co have a way of telling you what they want you to hear.

Truth is Awo was like a Father to Ojukwu, considering their age differences.
Ojukwu never had any supremacy battle with Awo..Ojukwu respected him.

Ojukwu released Awo on the premise of an agreement they had,which is to form Oduduwa Republic just like Ojukwu. But,Gowon being the beast he is overruled that agreement with either we run you down or we make you the next President.

If Awo had resisted Gowon,trust me Awo would have been killed quickly and easily. But, Awo had to plead and please with Ojukwu to reconsider their agreement. Unfortunately, we are Igbos we don't back down to no bullet!...and that was it .... Nigerians unleashed the war against Ndigbo.
Hey you!!!! Make no mistakes, Awo was only acting so not to loose his head.
Awo ddnt betray Ojukwu to feel good. He just never knew Ojukwu could standup to the NIGERIAN army.

Awo was quite dissappointed....
Awolowo is 100percent Yoruba
Ojukwu is 100percent Igbo
Gowon is 100percent pro-North....So, water and oil don't mix... except in the heat of fire.

Which is what you and I are still experiencing till today.

WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER.

I cant help but laugh at some people's lives. They are working very hard to change the narrative that Ojukwu released Awo.
The bitter truth is that it will continually hunt their conscience.
Even the war Lord said he has nothing against Awo.
Both Britain and America were enemies to Biafra. So, they had to recognize that the release of any prisoner has been authorized by the only president of NIGERIA.

The truth is that intra-national diplomacy is at play here.
Any prisoner released in any Nation is assumed to be released by the President. That is diplomacy.
But, reality is that Ojukwu released Awo, but Ojukwu understood the diplomatic implications. He however,ignored international diplomacy to free Awo.

The same CNN that reports false news about NIGERIA has become an irrevocable reference point.
SWesterners should wake up to the smell of their own coffee.
That history is just too ugly for their conscience to accommodate. So,the natural thing is to disrepute the news.

Quite unfortunately,as nature may have it. Ndigbo are a different species of the African Gene: We don't back out.

“UMU ABA” IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION...ITS AN ATTITUDE.

By Dr. Chike Amobi, MCIArb (UK)
Most people have probably seen one or two of these “Umu Aba videos challenge currently trending on social media. I have published one myself. Please pardon me for being a little silly. ��‍♂️It is basically a short video clip of people reciting their own Aba experiences and usually concluding by suggesting that if you didn’t have these experiences Or didn’t grow up in Aba, you missed out on the good life! That’s Basically the idea.

However, a combined evaluation of the contents of these different videos makes it clear that different people had different experiences from this same town. Obviously Based on their generation and the side of town they happened to grow up in. But one underlying common denominator in all these experiences is the fact that the “Umu Aba” attitude is present in all of them. It is That audacious “Nwa Aba” attitude that makes you believe that if you didn’t grow up in Aba, you ain’t seen nothing! The attitude that causes you to go to Ahia Ohuru or Ekeoha market and buy a second hand designer jacket, take it to the drycleaners and wear it like you just walked out of the designer shop in Beverly Hills. Or better yet, take it to your tailor and have him make you an exact replica.

It is the attitude that empowers you to sit as a broke passenger in a tricycle or KEKE, but still have the effrontery to tell a person in his Land Cruiser Jeep to “buru nkpokoro motor gi puorom n’uzo. The attitude that causes you to rebel against the “Ajebutter” lifestyle that your parents probably exposed you to and seek instead to go the “Kpako” way. The attitude that made you wear a Designer Impostor Cologne as a young broke man (If you like OBSESSION, you will love bla bla bla) and still rock it like it’s the real deal. That makes you spend your last kobo to buy a TREND, MISTER, MAURI or other designer shoes and feel good looking good, Not minding that you may not have a single dime left in your pocket.

That causes you to go to a joint and order rounds of drinks for everyone, making them believe you have a pocket full of money where in fact you don’t even have your taxi fare home. The audacity to go into 3 to 5 Star hotel as a teenager with your friends act loke grown ups, pay for a room and order room service. And still give a nice tip. To see “Big Boys” spending their money lavishly but rather than “hate” on them, believe in your heart that you can do it better if you had their funds and resources. The mental resilience to go out of town and see your mates from other cities whose “warheads” are probably higher than yours but believe deep in your heart that “onwee ihe ndia chi”. That they are “Jew men”. Basically, The impetus to “fake it till you make it” with an unwavering belief that you WILL make it...eventually.

That is the “Umu Aba” attitude, and it is present in ALL Aba people, regardless of whichever side of the railway you grew up in. And regardless of your state of origin and your income bracket. Whether you went to primary school wearing CORTINA shoes from BATA SHOES and white socks, or whether you went barefooted, Aba did not care. Regardless of whether as an infant, you crawled on persian rugs or on concrete floors, it doesn’t matter. Whether you learned how to swim in the pool of Aba Sports Club ( our Ikoyi Club of those days, or the flowing streams of The waterside river.

Whether you snacked on chicken and chips or “Agidi Jellof and okpukpu. It doesn’t matter, the attitude is still the same. And this is regardless of your state of Origin. I, for instance am from Anambra state but for Umu Aba, it doesn’t matter. Because once you grow up in Aba, your State of Origin is immaterial. And your parents” income bracket is also immaterial. So what if you are a Dangote or Otedola, that Nwa Aba in you will still empower you to say “Taa! Gbafuo. Iwu mugu! �How audacious! That’s the “Umu Aba” attitude, and this is what you now see in Umu Aba everywhere. London, Paris, New York and California. And still have the nerve to say that Aba, even in its present decrepit and run down state, is still the best place in the world to grow up!

That chameleonic ability to adapt to any circumstances and merge into any environment we find ourselves. You go high, we go high, you go low, we go low. We drive our V8 Engines and still enter KEKE when we need to. We drink Good champagne with rich people and still drink “pure water” with you if that’s all you have. The ability to spend the night on the 10th Floor of Transcorp Hilton and still go out to find a nice “Mama Put” joint to have breakfast in the morning. So long as the food tastes good. That’s the attitude we carry to all parts of the globe. In Rome, we become Romans with an Aba twist. In Los Angele, same thing.

We have a unique language that enables us communicate to each other without non-Aba people understanding what we are saying. And which allows us detect an authentic “Nwa Aba” with just one sentence. So if you happen to go by a dingy Mama Put joint in any city, and see a Mercedes G-Wagon, a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Bentley parked out front, surrounded by “okadas” and Keke Napeps”, chances are, an Aba Boy is in the house. And chances are, everyone present will get a FREE meal on him. You can take this to the bank! That’s the Aba attitude. The acknowledgment that God created all men equal and the unwavering belief that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!

That’s really the sum total of the Nwa Aba attitude. Its not arrogance, but to those who think it is, the Nwa Aba response will probably be, Taa!! Iwu Mugu! �So, please excuse us people. “Umu Aba” is more than just a location, it’s an attitude!

What has been a near death experience to you?

Mine was when I was a little girl, playing with 2 of my friends of about the same age, we thought it was a good idea to take turns to carry each other on our shoulders.

When it was my turn to climb onto the shoulder of one, I immediately knew it was a bad idefa when I got on because, one, I had the fear of heights, and so I couldn't keep still

I wanted her to put me down immediately, but we didn't know the easiest way to do that...omg!
We kept wobbling back and forth because I couldn't keep still out of fear. The other kid was laughing, while I was beside myself with fear
Lastly, I fell so hard with my stomach slamming on the hard ground with a loud thud ( the most painful experience), I swear, for some seconds I couldn't breathe

While I was on the ground gasping for air, desperately trying to breathe and fighting to grasp onto life, my two so-called friends were laughing hysterically
When I was finally able to catch my breath, I cried so loud and hard....I cried ehn then they knew how serious it was.

I swear, I could have died that day and my parents would never have known what killed me.
Of course, they never knew what happened because I never told them. Heck! I never spoke about it ever. I just sucked it up.

As little as I was, I knew I could have died that day because what happened was serious...I just knew

That is not a near death experience. A near death experience is when you actually die,see the world beyond,see the people mourning you......etc...but miracluosly or mysteriously you came back to life. That's a near death experience.

Enraged wife poisons husband to death; chops off his manhood after discovering he was dating her best friend in Nasarawa

33-year-old Janet Ekpe who hails from Nasarawa killed her husband of eight years, Sunday Ekpe, after she discovered he was allegedly having an affair with her best friend, Hellen, in Zumbagwe community in Karu local government area of the state.

A report by the The Nation details the life of Janet and Sunday before and after the incident. According to the report, the couple had two children and seemed to be living a happy life until she noticed that Sunday’s sexual desire for her started to decline after they welcomed their second child.

According to Janet, her late husband was a sex addict when they got married and this made her become one. She said she became worried after she noticed that his desire for her sexually had declined, and so at a point, he withdrew completely.

After much investigation, she discovered that her late husband was meeting his sexual needs through her best friend, Hellen, who is a widow.

Janet said she had previously boasted to her friends about her husband’s prowess in bed and that some of them had even asked her to “borrow” him to them so that he can also meet their sexual needs.

Janet said she grew tired of her husband giving excuses severally as to why he was no longer able to have sex with her. She said at some point her late husband told her to fantasize about the times they had sex in order to satisfy her sexual urge.

Janet said she got angry one day and decided to kill him for causing her so much emotional pain and denying her what was duly hers – his body. She poisoned her husband and watched him die slowly and painfully within an hour. She also ensured that she chopped off his manhood.

In her confessional statement, Janet said,

“We were married for eight years with two children. It was three years ago I discovered that my husband had fallen in love with my best friend, a widow, and had been dating her. Since then, he stopped sleeping with me; he began to starve me sexually while satisfying my best friend.

When we got married eight years ago, sex seemed to be the only thing on my husband’s mind. He was always in the mood. We would make love three or four times before morning, and when he woke up, he would be ready to continue. There were days he skipped work and we would spend the whole day making love.

We had sex in the bathroom, in the kitchen, and anywhere it caught our fancy in the house. I became used to constant sex through him and also became the envy of my close friends, including my best friend who he later fell in love with.

Whenever we shared stories of our exploits in bed, my friends felt I had the best man and jokingly begged me to allow them to have my husband just for a day because their husbands could not satisfy them in bed. But shortly after we had our two kids, I began to notice his disinterest in sex with me and his performance level began to drop.

While we were having sex on a regular basis before, it came down to two times in a week and later became so bad that we could stay for three or four months without making love. Initially, I was not bothered because I felt that he would come around it after the babies were weaned. But I was wrong. He began to starve me of sex for months on end. It got to the point that I would be begging him to sleep with me but he would rebuff my requests.

At times, he would tell me I should relive the moments we had sex every day and wallow in that fantasy. When I pestered him further, he told me he was no more interested in sex as he had had enough to last him a lifetime. He even told me that sex is not food and that if I felt so sex-starved, I should get a man to satisfy me.

I reported the matter to our church and the pastor summoned him, but he could not convince our pastor. I reported the matter to his parents in the village and some of his relations around, but he ignored their invitation. Within this period, my husband started keeping late night, which was very unusual of him.

Unknown to me, my best friend, Hellen, who is a widow, started keeping distance with me, while some of my friends started hinting that she and my husband were dating. I watched the way they acted and how happy he always seemed in her presence. I monitored them closely and caught them five times in a drinking joint in new Nyanyan. When I confronted him about it, he said I was being silly; so I decided to believe the whole story. The worst was the day I saw a text message from Helen in my husband’s phone, thanking him for giving her the best sexual satisfaction ever in her life the previous day. I was devastated. I felt sick and angry. I was hurt that my own husband could do this to me. I went back to our pastor but my husband turned down the pastor’s invitation and even stopped attending church.

At this point, he stopped coming back home most times and resorted to sleeping in hotels with Hellen. I felt like a single mum and it upset me. I confronted Helen and told her she was hurting me and that their relationship was getting stronger while they were not taking my feelings into consideration. I could not stand the thought of them being so close.

I used to love and trust my husband but he turned me into something I never knew I could become: a murderer. I killed him. I poisoned him and watched him die in our bedroom, painfully. I mixed a deadly, colorless, tasteless, and odorless substance in his meal and drinking water which destroyed his intestines immediately. He cried and struggled uncontrollably after taking the meal. He gave up after an hour and I used a sharp blade and knife to chop off his penis, place it on his chest as evidence of what killed him.

If your penis is the one that is giving you the audacity to have feelings for my best friend and refusing to listen to the advice of your parents and even your pastor, it is better to cut it off. Mr Sunday (Ekpe), a cheating, filthy, lying bastard, ought to die for me to live. I deserve to live because I am human and have blood flowing in my veins. These foolish men, you give them everything, yet they choose to fool around and play with your intelligence. I had monitored him closely and tolerated him for long and his end has come.”

An uncle of the deceased, Adakole Onoja, who was also interviewed, said he called the late Sunday several times, warning him not to sexually starve his wife.

“When his wife reported the matter to me, I invited him to my house and told him the implications of his actions. You cannot completely starve your young wife of sex and resort to dating her best friend. Many people, including his parents in the village, his pastor, and his close friends, interfered in the issue but he turned a deaf ear to them.

Maybe that was how he was destined to end his life. His wife’s action may not be right, but she is a human being too.” Onoja said

How did we get here? Really, how did we get here? In spite of the no love lost feeling that many Nigerian tribes bear for one another, I have always known them to exercise decorum whenever death is the topic. Seeing the deterioration in manners and frankly common sense makes me weep. Our generation is f***ed, well beyond repair. I just hope those who will come after us will not be like us. We have not learnt from history and that would be our greatest undoing.

The coronavirus event may likely usher in young and new leadership lifestyles not only in the North but across Nigeria.

Also, I'd want everyone to know that as people are dying in Kano it may spread down South soon. Pls pay attention to your personal safety.

Moreover, save a lot of money. Things would be ugly till next year. If you have a wedding plan, pls go ahead and do it and save alot of money for yourself.

If you have access to cash, or a place to borrow look out for companies you can acquire or partner with especially in the Japan, US and European countries.

There some companies that manufacture basic things we use here that can be acquired for few cash, and start operations here in Nigeria.

Believe me, things would never remain the same after this pandemic. You must plan ahead of time.....

Olominira



Let me give more insight. Things we use everyday, like electronics, chemicals, drugs, phones, home appliances etc. As at last week Friday, more than 15k emails were sent from India to companies, Vietnam sent over 8k, Indonesia too calling on companies operating in China for partnerships. Many of them are privately owned according to a report. Some of these companies are looking for new operating sites.

However, some companies are in distressed in their home countries and you can find more information about those companies and reach out if you really want to.

Please,can I call you?

But,why do humans die...
Someone tell me why we die we die we die ..Bone thugs and harmony.......

People's minds are too small to understand the concept of vaccination as the solution. When a pandemic happens, it becomes an unsolvable crisis until a vaccine is developed and it was based on that knowledge that Bill Gates was predicting the solution.

These people are just shallow that's why they can't reason.
