I would like to touch on a recent incident. Do you recall that the police in Lagos stopped a 58-year-old textile merchant from jumping off the Third Mainland Bridge into the lagoon over some debts she had incurred?
I am sure that most of us recollect this. Much later, it was gathered that she was being tried under the obsolete Lunacy Code and ordered to pay a fine of about N500,000. Before our own eyes, despite our acclaimed social exposure, professional and economic proficiency as Nigerians;

someone who was stopped from committing suicide is being punished by a competent court.
It is a shame that Nigeria is still administering obsolete mental health laws that already belong to antiquity. It means that we are still fixated essentially on the gory past and we have not developed at all. Let’s not forget that hidden mental health challenges often lead to suicide.
One of the common causes of suicide is depression, which is not just profound sadness, but also a mental illness that can lead to grave consequences including death, if not treated. The Lunatic Ordinance was passed into law more than a century ago when mental illness was deemed to be caused by demons and suicide was viewed as a product of deviant behaviour.
It is a shame that we still use the Lunatic Code of 1916 for the administration of mental health issues in Nigeria. Mental health is on the front burner of the policy framework of most developed countries and United Nations’ agencies have adopted mental health as a paradigm of discourse in tackling social problems all over the world. If any of these international agencies know about the legal and, of course, the policy instruments that are being administered in Nigeria, it will be a huge shame to this country.
This actually illustrates the attitude of our politicians, leaders and even policy makers towards mental health. I am aware that the Association of Psychiatrists of Nigeria has made several attempts to change this reality without any fruitful outcome. Beyond treatment of the mentally ill, a responsible government should put into place a policy framework to provide economic and social incentives for this vulnerable group of people. These are some of the issues spelt out in the bill, which could have prevented the kind of punishment meted on someone who was prevented from committing suicide.
Unfortunately, there is no class of people that cannot experience mental illness, just as there is no family that does not have someone struggling with a mental health challenge, not even at this time that the country is experiencing a recession, a factor that precipitates mental illness.
I call on the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, the Senate Committee on Health, all State Commissioners for Health to please call an emergency meeting with the National Mental Health Action Committee with the stakeholder’s forum to address this shame.

"The Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stones. It ended because we invented bronze tools, which were more productive.” Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, (former Saudi oil minister). ------------------------------------------------------- The oil age is fast drawing to a close and the signs are everywhere. For example, throughout the world, except in Africa due to backwardness, massive work is going on installing charging points for electric cars. The EU has instructed that all new housing developments must have electric chargers for the next generation of automobiles. Once motors go electric, oil prices would collapse. And once the cost of producing oil exceeds the selling price, oil companies will divest and leave the sector. Apart from newer technologies replacing oil, one development within the oil sector itself will sink the price of oil and make it even more worthless- fracking. Fracking involves the pumping of water at high pressure into ancient rocks to release the oil and gas entrapped in them for millions of years. This technology which is already in use in the USA and UK means that all countries where there is rock can produce its own oil and gas. And all countries have ancient rocks so all countries can be oil and gas producers! No need to import oil from any other country. The end of the oil age is no longer a speculation belonging to sci-fi, it is here. When this happens, all rusting oil installation in the niger-delta will become artefacts of exploitation and black stupidity just like the discarded chains of the slave trade. This raises the question: so where are we now? To answer this question, lets sketch the story of oil in Nigeria. [b] The Colonial Geological Survey of Eastern Nigeria & the Plot to Cage the Igbos. The geological survey of the entire Eastern Nigeria was concluded in 1929 by the British colonial government. This survey showed that the area was saturated with oil and gas- the energy which drivers of the 20th century economy. Signs of these survey are still visible in areas from Afikpo in Ebonyi state all the way to Egbema etc. where capped oil wells and cement markers are common sights in the bush and some streams often get contaminated by crude oil. But the biggest concentration of crude oil was in the area then known as Aba and Owerri. provinces. To exploit this oil, Shell D'Arcy (later known as Shell BP) set up its HQ in Owerri, but it ran into serious opposition by the natives who did not want oil exploitation on their land. This matter went to the colonial courts where it was fought vigorously and frustrated all efforts to open an oil well in Igboland. Then, Shell & co went back to the drawing board, perfected a horizontal drilling technology which enabled them to open a commercially viable oil well a remote none-Igbo location at Oloibiri in 1956. The rest is history which we learnt is no more taught in Nigeria. The Biafran War & the Mantra of "Niger- delta Oil" But Shell and its foreign backers still had to contend with the Igbo resistance factor made worse by the likes of Zik et al in the Nigerian independence fight. It was obvious for Shell and its owners that to exact the ruthless exploitation of the oil and gas of eastern Nigeria, they must get Igbos out of the way by all means necessary. That opportunity came with the military coup of January 1966. What began as a patriotic anti- corruption revolution against ten percenters was soon turned into anti- Igbo riots by foreign intelligence agents based at Ahmadu Bello University which snowballed into pogroms, secession and war. During the Biafran war, several efforts at a negotiated peace at Addis Ababa, Kampala etc. were frustrated by Shell and its backers who not only supplied weapons and diplomatic support but also urged the Nigerian side to agree to nothing but a military solution- defeat of the Igbos. Their aim- to get the troublesome Igbos out of the way and exploit oil unhindered. The Aftermath- US$600 billion Expropriated from Eastern Nigeria. Once Igbos were out, the ruthless exploitation commenced in earnest. Between 1970 and 2016, over US600billion of oil was taken from Eastern Nigeria. While this was going on, the eastern "minorities" now hired to watch oil pipelines conveying the wealth to Kaduna, Lagos and sundry places where programmed to chant the mantra: "Ibos are after the oil wealth of Niger-delta". Even when Fulanis from the margin of the Sahara desert parcelled out oil wells in the niger-delta and distributed them among themselves, this mantra persisted. Fifty years down the line, US600Billion has been taken from the area. Some of that money went to develop "federal capital" in Lagos, Western Nigeria. Part of the money went to create another "federal capital" in Abuja, Northern Nigeria. The rest of the money went into coded Swiss accounts, golf courses in Europe etc. Eastern Niger got nothing but polluted farmlands, rivers, carcinogenic emissions from over 50 years of gas flaring. And now, the Yorubas have moved their capital from Ibadan to Lagos, asking Ibos to leave the erstwhile "federal capital" or face deportation. The Hausa-Fulani have claimed Abuja too, issuing quit notice to Igbos or face death. Funny that the same ones who once declared "Niger-delta republic" over governance in eastern Nigeria which lasted for 6 years (1960-66) could do nothing but wring their hands for 50-odd years and counting. Empty Gin Bottles, Chains & Enduring Artifacts of Stupidity. When coal was discovered in Ngwo, it led directly to the founding of two leading cities in Eastern Nigeria today- Enugu and Port Harcourt. But when oil was found in the area, human vultures from everywhere descended on the area to ensure that nothing, absolutely nothing came out of it for the people. Even their investments in the so-called federal capitals have become an instrument of ethnic blackmail. The slave trade lasted for over 400 years. When it ended, key players like Europe and USA were left with robust economies and infrastructure which endure till today. By contrast, the Niger- delta, a key centre of the trade was left with nothing but empty ogogoro bottles- Schnapps, Johnny Walker, Gordon gin etc. and discarded chains and broken people. As the oil age draws to a close, history is about to repeat itself due to self-hatred, only this time as a farce. NG

long sermon

- IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, insisted that the best thing for Igbo people is for them to separate from the Nigerian nation - Kanu blamed mutual hatred, suspicion and resentment for the lack of basic human, social and economic development of Igbo people - According to Nnamdi Kanu, Igbos must control their political destinies in order to develop critical infrastructure in the region Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has disclosed that only Judeo-Christians will be allowed into the state of Biafra. In an interview with BBC, Kanu stated: "Should any other part of Nigeria wish to join Biafra they are welcome to do so, as long as they are Judeo-Christian... the value system that underpins Biafra." While reiterating his call for a sovereign nation of Biafra for Igbo people, Kanu also insisted that the oil-rich Niger-Delta region is part of Biafra. During the interview which held in his father’s compound in Umuahia, Abia state, Kanu stated that the Igbo people were agitating for their basic rights. According to Kanu, the best thing was for them to separate from the Nigerian nation. He stated: "Basic human development, basic economic development, basic social development, can no longer be attained for the simple reason that there exists in the polity mutual suspicion, mutual hatred, mutual resentment. "So the best thing to do is to separate." Further making his case for Biafra, Kanu stated: "We (Igbos) just want to control our political destiny so we can build factories, (build)our roads, cities, bridges, not having to depend on somebody in (the capital city) Abuja."

why is it always war war

kingzizzy:
You have to first tell us which of these steps Lord Lugard did before he created Nigeria. If Lugard did not do these things then it means that Nigeria is an illegal union that nobody agreed to.

So you will have to go and dig up Lord Lugard wherever he is buried, get him to go through these steps so as to create Nigeria legally. After that, we can talk about Biafra.

just my advise

waiting for someone to start e-war

sense fall on u @op

i hope it's not that one dey use do bush shooting

sense fall on u @op

The then military leadership under General Abdusalami Abubakar had a rare opportunity of gathering Nigerians together to come up with a document meant to be the constitution, but it was bungled because what happened was that one man just sat down and made sure that the document was written to favour a particular section of the country and he called it the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Nigerian constitution is the only constitution in the world that tells a lie against itself and its people, when its first sentence says: ‘We the people.’ “That statement is a lie. “There was never a gathering of any people or group of persons to discuss any constitution. “Do you also know that the constitution was designed to work against people who are not Muslims as the word Islam, Muslim, Sharia or Mosque was mentioned over 200 times, while the word Christian or Church was never mentioned in the constitution? “And you say that same constitution is meant for all of us?”
