The thing that called himself human being rather chose to run to his grave with his tail between his legs than to face your slave masters by taking his own miserable life(no thanks to RAT POISON). Ojukwu remain a hero that the world acknowledge till date, and whether you want to belief it or not, Nnamdi Kanu is going to accomplish what Ojukwu started. |

oduastates: A number of weaknesses beset the Second Republic. First, the coalition that dominated federal politics was not strong, and in effect the NPN governed as a minority because no coalition formed to challenge its supremacy. Second, there was lack of cooperation between the NPN-dominated federal government and the twelve states controlled by opposition parties. Third, and perhaps most important, the oil boom ended in mid-1981, precisely when expectations of continuous growth and prosperity were at a height.
There were many signs of tension in the country. The Bakalori Project, an irrigation scheme in Sokoto, for example, became the focus of serious unrest in the late 1970s when thousands of farmers protested the loss of their land, and police retaliated by burning villages and killing or wounding hundreds of people. Widespread dissatisfaction became apparent with the Maitatsine, or Yan Tatsine (followers of the Maitatsine), a quasi-Muslim fringe group that who sparked religious riots in Kano in 1980, and Kaduna, and Maiduguri in 1982 after police tried to control this activities. The disturbance in Kano alone resulted in the deaths of 4,177 people between December 18 and 29, 1980. In 1981 teachers staged a strike because they had not been paid. As the political situation deteriorated, the federal government looked for scapegoats and found them in the large number of foreign workers who had come to Nigeria in response to the jobs created by the oil boom. In the crackdown on illegal immigration, an estimated 2 million foreigners were expelled in January and February 1983, of whom 1 million were from Ghana and 150,000 to 200,000 from Niger.
The recession that set in with the fall in oil prices after the middle of 1981 put severe strains on the Second Republic. For political reasons, government spending continued to accelerate, and the frictions among the political parties and between the federal government and the states only reinforced financial irresponsibility. Nigeria's foreign debt increased from N3.3 billion in 1978 to N14.7 billion in 1982. By 1983 the nineteen state governments had run up a combined debt of N13.3 billion. Heavy investment in economic development continued unabated. In addition to finishing a steel mill at Ajaokuta in Kwara State, for example, a second plant opened at Aladje, near Warri, in 1982. Steel-rolling mills also were built at Jos, Oshogbo, and Katsina--sites chosen for political reasons. By 1987 N5 billion had been spent on the steel industry alone, most of this committed under the Second Republic, even although the economics of steel development were questionable.
Corruption once again was rampant under the Second Republic. It had been a serious problem since the civil war, when wartime contracts often were awarded under dubious circumstances. Corruption became more serious after the war, most notably in connection with the cement scandal of the early 1970s, the Festival of African Culture (FESTAC) in Lagos, and the development of Abuja as the new federal capital. Corruption under the Second Republic was even greater. Major scandals involved the Federal Housing Scheme, the National Youth Service Corps, the Nigerian External Telecommunications, the Federal Mortgage Bank, the Federal Capital Territory Administration, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Nigerian National Supply Company. In addition, the halfhearted attempts to license imports and to control inflation encouraged smuggling, which became a major crime that went virtually unchecked. Umaru Dikko came to the attention of the international community because of an abortive plot to kidnap him in London and return him to Nigeria to stand trial for corruption. British authorities found him in a shipping crate on a runway moments before he was to be sent to Nigeria. Dikko was involved in many scandals, including the issuance of licenses to import rice--rice imports had risen from 50,000 tons in 1976 to 651,000 tons in 1982.
As elections approached in August 1983, economic decline that reflected low oil prices, widespread corruption, and continued government spending at record levels was proof to many that the Second Republic was in sad shape. The lack of confidence was evident in the massive flight of capital--estimated at US$14 billion between 1979 and 1983. The second elections under the Second Republic were to be its last. When the results were tallied in 1983, it was clear that there had been fraud. The NPN increased its control of states from seven to twelve, including Kano and Kaduna. Shagari was reelected president, and the NPN gained 61 of 95 Senate seats and 307 of 450 House of Representatives seats. Not even the supporters of the NPN expected such results. Considering the state of the economy and the public outcry over the rigged election, the Shagari government stayed in power for a surgprisingly long time. Try harder with this your abrakatabra. |

Is it only the 5% that voted him in the election. If you have an iota of sence in that you ewedu cone head you would know that everybody is complaining against this cluelless administration with no economic direction. And funny enough, your lazy region who are about 70% civil servants are the worst hit. The 5% are waiting for you in their respective magnificent shops to collect their own share of your own miserable monthly salary. Leave the internet, go into the street in that your region and listen to what people are saying about this govt, they are feeling the heat more than the 5% because most of you are nothing but hunger ravaged civil servants who have been begging for the minimum wage, an amount an average shop owner in Ebonyi State can make in hourly basis talk more of Enugu, Onitsha or Alaba. Before 2019, the effect of this cluelless adm. Would make what happened in Osun state a child's play, by then it would be a state of emergency for your region, and this time not even UN aid can save you. Keep deceiving yourselves painting the wrong picture on nairaland while your people are groaning under the present economic hardship and cannot wait to vote out the chief of baboon in 2019 election. |

Politics › Re: Linking Ipob To Hijacked Ship Is A Grand Conspiracy From The Fg - Ipob by sleepingTROUBLE: 11:10pm On Feb 08, 2016 |
skultrick: In the wake of reports on the hijacked merchant ship which was linked to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, the group has however accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal Government of plotting indefinite incarceration of its detained leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu and other IPOB detainees with its recent linking of the group with the alleged seizure and threat to blow up a merchant ship.
IPOB Media and and Publicity Officer, Mr Emma Powerful said that President Muhammadu Buhari led government of APC has been looking for more reasons to continue the incarceration of their leader and other IPOB detainees without genuine reason, and now has resorted to making wild allegations of ship-hijacking, linking IPOB and other Biafra agitating groups.
“IPOB has uncovered another plan to continue to incarcerate our leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu, and other detained IPOB members. The recent plot last week linked IPOB and other Biafra agitating groups to the alleged seizure and threat to blow up a merchant ship which the military has denied . This has made nonsense of the Buhari-led APC government allegation against IPOB as a lie and one coming from a deceitful and dishonest government.
“We found that accusation an insult and a plot to continue to incarcerate our leader Mr. Kanu who is still in high spirit, inspite of the wicked treatment, intimidation, harassment and denials to damper his spirit. We wonder why the government of APC will busy it self in hatching plans to nail innocent agitators.
“This shows the inconstistency for which the APC and its government is known for or why will anybody, group or government be linking IPOB with seizure of ship in another country?
Are we living in the water, or do we carry arms? How can a government that claims to have saints in it be likening IPOB with hijacking of ship?” he said.
“It is shameful that a government that claims to be responsible should be involved in the highest level of indiscipline of disobeying court orders.
We are not surprised because this is a government of the people that threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable when they lost election, and also threatened that baboons and their brothers will soak in blood if they did not win election.
So, how can they respect the law now that they are in power? They have become so power-drunk and it will destroy them and their government. “IPOB does not carry arms.
Our leader is a refined, never say die, relentless, determined, focused, and unrepentant Biafra activist that is not interested in any government threat or inducement to drop the agitation of sovereign state of Biafra and no amount of blackmail will discourage him.
Source: http://nigeriainfohub.com/linking-ipob-to-hijacked-ship-is-mischievous-and-a-grand-conspiracy-from-the-fg-ipob/ Honestly, Nigeria is in a fix as to what to do with Kanu. It is like the proverbial tse-tse fly glued and sucking on a scrotum of a man. For those kids making childish comments about Kanu and how he is being fed with beans, can you now see your life. Your government is very miserably trying to link IPOB with terrorism because they have no evidence against this young man and IPOB in general. They are really sweating because they know the world is watching. IPOB being smarter, had filed a suit againste Nigerian govtI at the ICC with overwhelming evidence. It is now glaring that IPOB had really mapped out their strategies with Nigerian govt sweating playing catch up with this funny movie that even a kid can see through. Biafra is here to stay!!! |

Duru1: Do you mean the ethnic group whose trade in stock is cowardice? I have tried to put a finger on the source of the fear being generated the moment Biafra is mentioned. Even twin brothers and sisters usually go their different ways in life talk less of ethnic groups that have absolutely nothing in commonality. I think its high time we go on offensive so as to put them on defensive. I have come to notice that if you know these children of the devil and give appropriate response to every malicious post they post here, they tend to run away.
