Bros, how now?
You have the means to win a war but you choose to use restraint and got over 3million of your people killed? Please, say something reasonable now.
You’re missing the point entirely.
After Gowon failed to honour the agreements of the Aburi Accord, the Eastern Nigeria Consultantative House of Assembly which was made up of all ethnic groups in Eastern region passed a resolution which compelled Ojukwu — by a unanimous decision to declare Biafra.
Every tribe stood behind that call.

If Ojukwu had gone ahead to accept the oil for weapons deals on his own , it would have meant betraying the very people who gave him that mandate. And where we come from, betrayal is an abomination.

You clearly don’t know the Igbos. They are a people who will always choose death over chains and oppression.
Read about the Igbo Landing of 1803 on St. Simons Island, Georgia — one of the most powerful acts of resistance in human history. When captured Igbo slaves faced with the horror of enslavement, rose against their captors and collectively walked boldly into the sea and drowned while singing in Igbo language. They chose death with dignity rather than a life of humiliation. That same spirit runs in the blood of every Igbo person today

The bolded above is a the same delusion that always plays out in igbo several claims.


We could have do this but but but
We could have done this yet yet yet

DEL LULU DELUSION
Exactly, the Igbos are indeed a mystery. Even the Europeans were astonished when they first encountered them — they wondered how a people so capable with every advantage to conquer and dominate others around them, instead chose to allow others the right to identity, dignity and independence something even the colonial powers themselves could not practice.

The Igbos chose death over slavery and that unyielding spirit made them targets of the white man’s resentment, a sentiment that still lingers today.[m


Among Nigeria’s major ethnic groups, the Igbos stand out as the only one that didn't build empires or kingdoms on the blood of neighboring minorities. This single trait defines their uniqueness and enduring moral strength.

Alaigbo:
Gowon did not owe a defeated Biafra anything. When two nations or two people fight the lower in this case Biafra does not have any right to dictate any terms. So to hell me Biafra n Aburi accord.

If the Aburi accord was so valid make Ojukwu enforce. A foolish man beaten blueblack can not tell who as beaten his foolish soul to death how to share the profit he was beaten for.
grin grin grin

You clearly don't know anything about the Biafran War and the moral discipline that guided Ojukwu and the Igbos.
Ojukwu had every opportunity to win the war.
For your info, France and several foreign interests were willing to recognize and support Biafra fully with weapons, machinery and troops in exchange for oil. Yet, Ojukwu refused to compromise the future of the minorities or sell out the Eastern Region for foreign gain.

He could have turned the struggle into a purely Igbo agenda but he chose to protect the unity and dignity of all the peoples under Biafra, including the minorities .
That decision wasn’t foolishness, it was a display of conscience and leadership that valued justice over victory.


So, while some of you with limited knowledge may boast about defeating Biafra, history will remember that Ojukwu and the Igbos fought with honour and restraint. They had the means to win but chose not to betray their values and that’s something no amount of military triumph can erase.....

EducationRe: Jamb No Longer Mandatory For Admission - Fg Gives Institutions Power To Decide U by shortgun(m): 7:22pm On Oct 16, 2025
Adblg0610:
Removing JAMB as a standardised entry requirement may lead to inconsistent admission criteria across institutions, making it harder to ensure uniform academic quality. Without a centralised exam to benchmark candidates' readiness, schools might lower standards to fill quotas, potentially admitting students who are academically unprepared for tertiary education. This could lead to weaker undergraduate performance, higher dropout rates, and a general decline in the quality and credibility of Nigeria’s higher education system.
Many capable students who excelled in SSCE usually perform poorly in JAMB due to exam anxiety, poor testing conditions, systemic irregularities and lately technical glitches, not necessarily because of a lack of intelligence. The overreliance on one central exam like JAMB as the sole measure of academic potential has not served its intended purpose.

Peter Obi has said it all.
Obi’s point strikes at the heart of Nigeria’s political reality. In a complex nation like ours, the mass defection of politicians to the ruling party will not guarantees public support. Nigerians have become wiser.
They now judge leaders not by the colour of their party flags but by the content of their character and the impact of their actions.

In today’s Nigeria, the people’s allegiance is shifting from parties to principles. Voters are watching, questioning and demanding good governance

PoliticsStop The Destruction Of People's Properties - Peter Obi by shortgun(op): 3:58pm On Oct 14, 2025
Stop the Destruction of People’s Property

I like to reiterate my strong condemnation of the willful destruction of people's property, and goods by governments at any level without notice.

The recent demolition of citizens' structures and the destruction of their goods and merchandise remains condemnable.
An administration whose policies and style have sent several million Nigerians into poverty in 29 months should show compassion for its citizens.

This is happening across the country at a time when the government is supposed to be lifting citizens out of poverty. Instead, it is plunging them deeper into hardship.


These demolitions destroy livelihoods, undermine businesses, and threaten the economic security of hardworking citizens. Many of these shops contained goods worth billions of Naira, representing years of investment and toil. What legal authority justifies the destruction of private property—clearly not used for criminal purposes—without prior notice or due process?

We must ask: are these actions genuinely in the public interest, or are they arbitrary and disproportionate exercises of power? Citizens deserve protection for their investments, livelihoods, and dignity. The government must ensure that urban development and enforcement respect the rule of law and the rights of the people.

ThierryJay:
Oga stop using emotion to reason. Do all state government agencies have the same mandate?

Lagos State Ministry of transport issued a certificate of approval as a registered auto dealer at a confirmed address/location. They already verified that the business is located at the address stated on the certificate.

Does this mean they are the ones saddled with verifying whether the confirmed location has the necessary building approvals? That's obviously beyond their mandate as this would fall under that of LABSSCA which is the authorized agency.

What Skyewise should have shared is the building approval from LABSSCA. Then we can talk about the lack of integrity from the LASG.
You’re the one being too mechanical with reasoning here. Governmeny agencies don’t operate in isolation their actions are all interconnected.

If the Ministry of Transport officially approved a business at a specific address, that approval indirectly validates the premises as suitable for the intended commercial activity. Otherwise, what’s the essence of an approval tied to a confirmed location?


That's the rascality that the Lagos State government is now known with where different state government agencies can decide to operate outside the laws of Nigeria.

Ttalk:
Please type in English because what you wrote up there has no meaning and you haven't say anything.

Non oil revenue has surpass oil revenue that is the main discussion, stay within the confine of the subject matter.

Your above post says, "because
oil remains the main source of federal government revenue"


Is untrue, misleading and outright misinformation accept and move on and stop embarrassing yourself for lack of knowledge
Yes, oil remains the main source of federal government revenue
You don't even understand what you posted.
All the "non-oil revenue has surpassed oil revenue" you are salivating on are technically comparing:

non-oil tax revenue (VAT, CIT, import duties, customs, etc.)
vs.
oil-related tax revenue (Petroleum Profit Tax, royalties, etc.)

They are not comparing:
Total non-oil revenue vs. Total oil earnings (crude export proceeds + taxes + royalties + NNPC remittances).


So whenever you see a headline which say “non-oil has overtaken oil revenue,”
What they’re really saying is:
Tax from non-oil sectors is now larger than tax from oil sectors.
not that Nigeria earns more from non-oil than from crude oil itself.

Even the so called non oil revenue is still gotten from companies and economic activities tied to the crude oil value chain

This may be too much for you to understand but that's what it is in simple terms
