All of them were fighting for their pocket. If he was alive he would have also been hustling in politics like all his 70yr old mates are currently doing now. They were good looking though. Especially his partner in crime.lol. Fine boys hustling gone wrong.

What do you know about why they did what they did? Nzeogwu also fought in the civil war....did he do that fir money too?

look at how grown men are making a spectacle of themselves... I can see men old enough to father Davido in that video misbehaving... What is wrong with people?

Nairaland is just a funny place. I foresaw this and i tried to help really, i did try to help out of the goodness of my heart.

But they buried the the thread that could help people, and instead brought the one celebrating failure to the front page.

i forgive you guys though.

Now the truth is that making resolutions by themselves simply may not work. You need to take certain steps to ensure that you do not simple forget your resolutions after a few days or weeks. If you are serious about your resolutions, i suggest you read this:

p.s i have nothing to gain from this... not promoting a blog or anything. I just really think this can help someone.

so why call them dirty??

kenonze:
There was no Ambode then

Lol. But there was Nzeogwu and co and i doubt this mike boy would wish what eventually happened to Chief Okotie-Eboh on himself.

mengho:
I wonder who is saying the truth amongst them cause both are really gud at information manipulation

Read between the lines:

The army may indeed have taken such steps but do nor wish for it to be in the public domain given that as they said, any premature and overt aggression towards the Gambia may endanger Nigerian citizens in the Gambia and aggravate president Jammeh ahead of the second round of peace talks due to hold today.

Knowledge9000:
OP...I don't know your tribe but appreciate your objectivity and honesty! Though Enugu should and must be there! I endorse this!

I was expecting Enugu to at least be number 4 or so...certainly among the Igbo states, enugu appears to be the prime destination

Why does he have to apologize for his perfectly valid opinions? Does it detract from Nigerian music if it was inspired from Ghana?

chiefoluigwe:
how come this enthusiasm was not seen until thousands died in the hands of boko haram

I suppose you should be asking Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan?

Lol...the racist response was clearly out of order but the Nigerian guy was being annoying.

Why not simply get to work, do your best and make your excuses after? I would never hire a person who behaves like that to work for me.

I can see most people do not even understand what has happened here. I think Nnamdi Kanu is enjoying life in Kuje that is why he is delaying the proceedings of his own case.

How was their procedure professional if they never even checked with the Nigerian Army in the first place? Then who did they check with?

Thought Unilag was supposed to be the school for super-smart people...

So after all the killings that have taken place in that state, you mean the governor actually knows enough to make such a move?

These so-called leaders never cease to amaze. May God protect these helpless minorities in the north.

1 million naira collectively for a team of champions?

I seriously doubt that Jammeh is interested in assylum in Nigeria. These guys should focus on other things abeg.

pchukwudi:
For Biafrans to leave the North and South West compulsorily, Nigeria will have to leave Ecowas and the UN.

Seen how senseless you are?

Biafra will be an Ecowas state, which means Biafrans will have visa free entry to ALL Ecowas member states.

As we speak, despite Brexit, millions of Brits still reside in the EU, and many of them do not plan to go back to the UK.

The population of Jews in America is larger than that of Isreal.

I guess no one from your village lives abroad, since it 's suddenly abnormal to live in a foreign country.

I can see you are really unreasonable so this will be my last response to you in particular.

Compulsorily? Why would it be compulsory? Do one is driving you away, you are the ones who say you all want to leave. If you say you want to leave Nigeria, and form a new country, and you are serious i suppose your first act would be to move to the territory that forms the new country?? In 1967 that was what Igbos did: they packed up and moved out of the country they did not want again into the one they wanted.

What you are essentially saying here is that you want to leave but you want to stay at he same time. You hate Nigeria but you love being in Nigeria. You are so politically naive.

Besides i only proposed this question to you as a litmus test to determine how much your compatriots are in support of the Biafra idea.

Obviously if you form your own country, your citizens will not quite have the same rights as Nigerians in Nigeria. The government can still decide to close the borders for any number of reasons which ECOWAS will not do anything about. The continued presence of huge numbers of Igbos all over Nigeria shows that apart from a few like yourself, the vast majority are content to live life and do business as Nigerians. There is no popular movement of biafrans.

The facts are staring you in the face. You quote Brexit and i'm now beginning to wonder how you actually think. Has anyone told you that all Brits are in support of Brexit?? Obviously the ones who stay back in Europe are not likely to be in support of it because they know things will not be as easy for them as before. The same goes for your brothers scattered across the four corners of Nigeria: they are very unlikely to be in support of Biafra. And that was the sole point i was making by bringing this up, so thank you for reinforcing my point.

pchukwudi:
So in your childish thinking, the agitation has stopped?

So you really think that PMB can now stop a movement which a 3-year old genocidal war could not stop since over 40 years ago? You are seriously funny. You actually have no idea what you are dealing with. And that kind of makes me wonder why I'm even having this chat with you.

Bye.

lol.

Sure... it's all about big talk on the internet. But if the movement is so unstoppable, can you list the political gains the biafra movement has made since 1967 to date? any achievements? For over 4 decades it has only been a barrage of talk, seditious talk, and more talk. Even your own people are tired of you.

anyway the internet is here for you. oya continue.

bye bye.

pchukwudi:
You are actually confusing yourself.

1. As aforementioned, an average primary school girl won't need to scratch her head to figure how an ideology that's in motion differs from all labes being used to drive it.

2. If your ilks are really in doubt as per how Kanu's ideology resonates with the Biafrans (mind you, not just Igbos) in relation to what was led by Ojukwu, why not call Kanu's bluff and root for a referendum?

Let's put all the speculations to test once and for all.

My brother, take your time to read and understand what i have said to you before rushing to press quote to upload all your frustration onto the world wide web.

If the biafran struggle was genuinely of the biafran people, there would be a million Nnamdi Kanu's. Just as the anti-apartheid struggle did not go to jail with Mandela, Sisulu and co, and it did not die with Biko and co, a true movement of the people will never be about one figure-head.

I don't mind the Igbos going... i am all for self determination but not on the terms of one man. No one will grant you a referendum just because you asked for it but they might have no choice if you demanded for it. What am i saying? The voice of Nnamdi Kanu is not sufficient to coerce action but if the voice of sufficient numbers of the Igbo people demand for it, then fine. However we have not seen the Igbos united behind this cause since 1967-1970, and even at that they were doing so in reaction to an extreme spate of events.

Calling for a referendum is far beyond the scope of what we may or may not do on this forum, but we can take a little litmus test:

If the Igbo people are united as you imply, behind the separatist movement, then the first sign of seriousness is that they would have relocated to their motherland. Don't you agree?

So the test before us is a question of how many Igbos remain in the North and South of Nigeria and plan to do so for the forseeable future?

PROVERBZ:
OK today about 10am in the morning , my dad rushed back from work called me and then handed me his phone, the man on the other end of the line claimed to be an officer by name ayuba working at the nigerian defence academy in Kaduna,
we was saying something about the school re inviting me again for another interview after I had already been disqualified by the board earlier last year.

My dad had put in a lot of effort in order for me to get admitted. into that school so that it was a great news to us more like a second chance for us we drop all our suspicions of the call being a scam when the caller mentioned my full name and the name of my dad, at this point we were willing to do any thing cuz the news kind of sounded true.

The caller now asked for payment so he could buy us form we live in jos so it was a relief because he said the administration would stop selling the purchasing of this form as from tomorrow

We then enquired how we would make the payment, he said we should send mtn recharge card of 3000 naira and send to him

My dad knew how much I wanted to be at the academy so he didn't want the blame on him may be because he didn't do enough so he bought the card and sent it to him

Then we asked him what's next he told us to wait he would get in touch with us, after some time he called back again saying he had to do something about medicals and it required 7000 naira now my dad began doubting him as he refused to give us his account name and number for payment he was insisting on payment in form of recharge cards my dad refused

Then he became furious and said if we don't believe in him we should just forget and he refused to refund the money we sent to him earlier on

We tried calling him since then but his phone has been switched if since then
I don't understand how people live by scamming other people

The surprise about this is how he got my contact information I only submitted this to Nigerian defence academy so this scammer must be somebody who works at the academy

If Nigeria was a better country I might have considered sewing them to court

abeg o, please don't sew our Defence Academy to court bros...are you a tailor?

You sent 3, 000 naira to someone over the phone and you want the whole world to cry with you or what? just 3, 000 for that matter. Why would the busy staff at the NDA offer to buy you the form for you when he doesn't know you from anywhere? Plus you were obviously not qualified. Next time, stop and think.

majour:
Every igbo man here is an online warrior, what have u done to further his course, shout and argue with this cowards, the international community will not speak on this cus they benefit from the Nigerian union, the Biafra war is an evidence of this, its all about oil and big business, open ur eyes brothers and see the truth for what it is, wake up and do something tangible rather than come here and form warrior.

Why not motivate them by telling them what you yourself have done?

pchukwudi:
For at the bolded, it's either you are super ignorant of all what happened at the court today, or you are not yet up to 20 years old.




Even an averagely bright primary school girl in Nigeria, can tell you that the core of Kanu's movement preexisted Kanu himself.

This is a faceless forum and insults whether implied or express are mere puffs of nothingness. Besides you would be best advised to refrain from such when you are making watery arguments and cannot even understand a simple statement.

Now, everyone knows that there has been a movement for secession form the Igbos, however i did say a "popular movement" which as yet we have not seen from the Igbos. Whether it be MASSOB or IPOB, the seccession movement has not garnered support from sufficient amounts of the Igbo nation.

Ojukwu could be considered a revolutionary, however Nnamdi Kanu is not.

Whenever i can i try to watch NFPL on tv. I like the action-packed nature of the game but there is very little flair or star quality. The difference is stark when you flip the channel to South African League.

Govt needs to realize that a population of 100 million football crazy and fun-loving people is a potential source of diversification for the economy. Ideally in cities like Lagos, Enugu, Ibadan, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, Benin, Aba, etc where you have millions of residents, a well organized league should be able to pull at least 25, 000 people per game. Manchester has only 2.5 million people, London is about as populated as Lagos but has at least 5 Premier league teams vying for attention with huge followership, not to mention the championship and 1st division teams there. What am i saying? With a little substantial investment in star quality, Nigerian clubs can build huge fanbases.

So to get started there is need for the government to step in and fund the signing of certain players. People like Obafemi Martins, Osaze and co should be govt-paid and given endorsement deals to come back home and play here. All good Nigerian players playing in poor european leagues such as the Dutch league, Belgian league or so should be paid salaries that would match whatever they are getting there, to lure them home. Then home-based players should be propped up such that if you are not playing in the big 5 leagues of Europe, you must be playing in the Nigerian league, or you can forget about the national team.

From there private investors may be lured to take over. You have to spend money to make money but the money is surely there to be made.

Presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako storms out of court room

Politics Nigeria has exclusively gotten photographs from the secret trial session of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

It was learnt that the case between Nnamdi Kanu and the Federal government of Nigeria kicked off at exactly 10:23am on Tuesday morning after the arrival of Justice Binta Nyako. Nnamdi Kanu and the other accused persons, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Chidiebere Onwudiwe were led to the shielding apparatus set before the court where the secret witnesses were to be paraded as well.

It could be recalled that Justice Binta on the 13th of Dec 2016, ruled that masked witnesses would be allowed to testify against Kanu. She quoted circumstances under section 36(6) of the 1999 constitution, whereby witnesses are allowed to conceal their identity.

She held that the court will be able to see their witnesses, but it will be restricted to the representatives of both parties. She added that the court is going to be arranged in such a way that only the defendants and the defense counsels will be able to see the witnesses.

But Nnamdi Kanu in quick response to her presposterous ruling, made an outburst

"Do i look like a fool to you? I won't take this. Buhari accused me in the public and the trial must be open to all, I won't accept this."


Today the 10th of January 2017, after Binta settled down to preside over the case of allowing masked witnesses and conducting secret trial, Nnamdi Kanu was heard thundering from behind the shielding apparatus that there will be no court sitting without the presence of Biafrans and his family members outside. When asked why he said so, he replied;
"Buhari cannot accuse me in the open and try me in secret."

At this point, Binta Nyako who could no longer hide her annoyance at Kanu's reaction and stormed out of the court room.

http://politicsngr.com/courtroom-photos-nnamdi-kanus-secret-trial-details/

Since when did journalists become legal professionals to be able to determine whether or not the ruling was in fact preposterous? i bet 90% of those reading cannot even grasp the core issue here: Nnamdi Kanu was not denied an open trial but the identity of witnesses has been shielded to offer them protection. For his outburst i really do hope he was held in contempt of court.

You cannot be a one-man revolutionary. History tells us that a revolutionary leader is the child of a popular movement of people but a man who is trying to birth a revolution (a violent one at that) on his own is an insurrectionist and must be dealt with.

Twaci:
You must still be a teenager.

All the more reason she needs understanding advice instead of a contemptuous retort

Ecowas have not gone about this well imo.

Instead of threatening the man, which has led to him rejecting their arbitration, What they should have done is first offer to oversee the entire petition and appeals process.

Now cue the people who have queued up to go off-topic by insulting Buhari.

I don't know why people won't look at things in the right light.

I believe the churhc organization is structured like a corporate organization and has to be regulated in the same way. This act by the FRCN would be unfair

erico2k2:
There is. Only one thing we Need In Nigeria that will sort both the poor and the rich
We need ELECTRICITY
Even if it takes the FG 2 years to achieve %20 I say go for it.see if people don't get employed . This is not an issue of now. And then FG . It's an issue of leadership . We need the Engine of Nigeria to start and that needs power . The FG is buying into the idea of welfare states when the Rich nations are trying to get out of it.

Are electricity and welfare mutually exclusive? Is there a reason why we can't have both? Is it not clear that the FG is working on power supply at the moment? Is it not also clear that even when power supply is fixed it will take some time for the effects to trickle through? And is it not also abundantly clear that until the effects have trickled through a move to provide an economic cushion is both smart and considerate?

What you need to understand is that every society goes through stages and where at a point the most advanced will be better served by being done with welfare, the less advanced might be better served by starting it.

Btw i said tell me what the previous administration did better in regards to solving the problem of the needs of the poor.

erico2k2:
So you sincerely think N5k is what the despirate poor in our society need ?

Obviously. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish but it is of no use if he dies of hunger before he has learnt to fish!

This is the impact of this move:

Economic

1. Billions of naira injected into the consumer market will stimulate spending and production, and growth
2. Poverty levels will be reduced. People can add this little amount to the little they already have and it may be just enough to push them above the poverty line

Social

1. Crime rate will be reduced
2. Trust in government will be increased. People will be less inclined to dodge paying taxes

Now, you tell me what it is that you think the poor need and how the previous administration provided it.

as usual, they will troop in here to celebrate mediocrity...







...no wonder we are in recession today, the president will budget billions if not trillions for themselves alone, while they give we the masses mere N5000 and you call it a good thing ?



..I shame for you

The job of the government is not to give handouts to the people. in any case, how much should be given to the masses for doing nothing? in a country of 170 million if 5, 000 is given to just 0.6% of the population (one million people) that is 5 billion naira already. So how much again do you want to be given to the masses?

softMarket:
Before election he said he's gonna pay All youths 5thousand!



Now he's talKing something am not understanding!!

They have created Npower and now this payment to the needy and you are still here making a spectacle of your intransigence?
