11 billion for 22 schools is 500 million per school. The amount is more than enough for the project. The guy is a criminal and a con man. If an Igbo contractor did this in any southwest state Abike Dabiri and Onanuga would have been forming in the mouth by now 7 Likes 1 Share |

chrisxxx:The most horrifying massacres and atrocities during the war were committed by Nigerian troops, including the Asaba massacre perpetrated by the Nigerian army. Reports were often doctored, especially by the British media. Read accounts by neutral frontline journalists who documented the events of the war. Journalists like Frederick Forsyth, who was British but had to resign from the BBC due to the corporation’s coverage of the Nigerian Civil War, which was biased in favor of the Nigerian federal government and unfair to Biafra. Forsyth said his reports to the BBC were either edited heavily or rejected entirely when they portrayed Biafra sympathetically or highlighted atrocities by federal troops. Forsyth is quoted as saying: “I was told to report what London wanted to hear. I could not do that and call myself a journalist.” 1 Like |

The people of Anioma in Delta have been called upon to fully embrace their Igbo identity and join hands with their eastern brothers in building a stronger and more united Nigeria. The Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Prince Ned Nwoko, made the call in Asaba while addressing participants at the conference organised by Igbo Unification Movement in collaboration with the Ndi na Asu Bia Socio-Cultural Organisation, with the theme “Igbo Bu Ofu” (Igbos are One) in Asaba. The Igbo Unification Movement and Ndi na Asu Bia have in recent years become strong advocacy platforms championing the cultural, historical, and political unity of Igbo-speaking communities across Nigeria, including Anioma (Delta north senatorial district), Igbanke in Edo, and other border areas. The groups argue that reclaiming a collective Igbo identity is crucial to political strength, cultural revival, and correcting decades of identity distortion. Speaking at the event, Senator Nwoko commended the organisers for their courage and vision, noting that their efforts align with his long-standing philosophy on Anioma identity and the need for an Anioma State carved out of Delta North. “There is no argument about our Igbo-ness. I understand history very well. I have a degree in history. I know the migration of the Igbo people, and I know clearly that we, the Anioma, are Igbo. Time has come for us to reverse the old narratives that separated us from our brothers across the Niger,” Nwoko declared. The lawmaker, who recently sponsored a motion for the creation of Anioma State in the National Assembly, said the agitation is not about politics or personal ambition but about correcting historical imbalances. This is not about APC, PDP, or Labour Party. It is about identity, justice, and fairness. I have no interest in being governor, but I want Anioma to stand tall with its own state, with Asaba as its capital. That way, we also fulfill the dream of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which has always recognized Anioma as one of the Igbo states,” he said. Nwoko also recalled his childhood experience during the Nigerian Civil War when Anioma communities faced ethnic cleansing and were compelled to deny their Igbo identity to survive. He said the lingering identity crisis from that era must now give way to truth and reconciliation. He further praised academics and activists, including Professor Abigail Ogwezzy of the University of Lagos, whose research on Anioma linguistics and history has shed light on the people’s Igbo roots. Highlighting the wider significance of the gathering, Nwoko said: “The Igbo man is Igbo everywhere, whether from Delta, Imo, or Abia. Just like a Chinese man remains Chinese anywhere in the world, Anioma must rise to embrace its identity. That is the only way we can achieve unity and political relevance.” The senator urged the Igbo Unification Movement, Ndi na Asu Bia, and other cultural organizations to continue their advocacy, education, and mobilization, stressing that only through such collective effort can the dream of a united Igbo nation and the creation of Anioma State be realised. https://tribuneonlineng.com/embrace-your-igbo-identity-ned-nwoko-charges-anioma-indigenes/ 12 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerians are far too docile. In most other countries, things like this would never happen without serious consequences. I’ve personally dealt with those touts and made sure they learned their lesson. The moment they sense you’re calm, they’ll intimidate and extort you but when you show them madness plus craze, they won’t even dare step into your vehicle. 3 Likes |

This is a classic example of how corrupt government officials enrich themselves through corrupt means. The whole scheme was all planned from the beginning. Next is Ali Baba will sue AMCON and claim billions in damages and inflation. AMCON will hurriedly pay and everyone involved will share the loot. |

In African tradition we believe in reincarnation and we have seen it happen many times. Regardless of what science claims, we still see newborns bearing birthmarks from a previous life and some children even recall where they once lived and who they were before death. Deceased relatives are buried within the family compound so they may return and be reborn into the same bloodline — that's only if they had lived an honorable life. Those who brought shame, committed crimes or tarnished the family’s name are thrown into the evil forest to prevent them the chance to reincarnate within the family and serve as a lesson for the living. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

It’s pathetic that every African government has carried on the destruction of African spirituality from where the colonialists left off. Mosques and churches have caused far more harm to our societies, yet it is the traditionalists whom the government relentlessly targets. Today there are draconian laws strangling traditional practitioners, while the religions brought by the white man remain free from any such regulation to continue raping teenage boys and girls. 3 Likes |
