And I should believe these lies? How do people not living in Nigeria sound? Small fry, go and say that to the marines.

You don't sound like them...You don't know your left from your right...What lies? That your president is not receiving treatment in the hospital abroad, or that you have a bad network of roads?

kabrud:
Rubbish, trash and I should believe these claims on a faceless forum? Perhaps this thing is already wrapping some consignment for necessary delivery.
Or at best hustling for customers for his oga at Ladipo spare parts market .
Small fry, I don't brag about economic/educational status on social media, I rather leave that for the hustling types like u making efforts to be noticed. Empty gallons can be very noisy, I swear.
These are the types selling akpu in the name of phones to unsuspecting buyers at Computer Village.

A thread was just opened about all these online status.
I no blame u, na data wey don become 5GB for N10 I blame. Gerarahia.

Do I sound like I live in your slimy country, with no light, no good roads, none performing refineries, poor hospitals (your president is resting in a hospital in Europe, rather than your country), etc, etc...You really have no shame. I repeat we shouldn't be in the same country, as we are totally different. Deal with it...

bantudra:
some of them realy shove stuffs up their asss to transport abroad...its shameful...

i rather do a honest job than doing that...

taking from behind by stuffs...

first time i heard that,i was shocked..

and those that are addicted to this stuff are not even better..

sniffing somebodies elses asss...ridicoulous...

i dont see a difference between them and homosexuals...

Do you see any difference between you murderers who strap explosives and blowing yourself up and barbarians...?

kabrud:
Hahahahahahahahaha, the almajiri is doing fine with the 5k, small fry, anything wrong with that? However, @ 40, Stingman is thinking of shoving some wraps up his anus with the aim of 'developing' another man's land after several unsuccessful 'attempts' on the highways.

At 40 Stingman has many degrees, one from Ivy league schools...You want to drag me into the gutter...you terrorist...Your next action will be strapping explosives on your dry bones and killing yourself and you family members...Mister, you can see we are totally different...We shouldn't be in the same country...

kabrud:
At 40, the average age of the albino, Bubu was in charge of the armed forces with full force, energy and vigour.

...at 40 where was kabrud....? At 40 your albino can boast of commanding millions, but kabrud could just be one of those almajiris, receiving 5000 government stipend...

CallmeGlad:
They are actually putting their money where their mouth is.Its called fore sightness,smart,calculative,investment......

They have long time realized Biafra is a very pipe dream.Unlike most of you,they refused to be brain washed

I know you are stuck in the unproductive Nigeria...When you go abroad, most cities have similar infrastructure....The government does not just develop two cities...Soon the people who live in those two regions will lay claim to the cities....That's what happen's in Nigeria. Nigeria is not made up of only the north and SW? You can get that into your brainwashed head...

bantudra:
look...its better you are ready for it,or you will not be trusted with any positions in the goverment no more...

that is our condition for you to get anything...

you must be ready to die for each and every nigerian...

Yes, you are correct...just as Buhari is ready to die for each and every Nigerian..?Continue to deep your head deeper in the sand...

kabrud:
U mean the master in the master/slave relationship?

Master, with the highest literacy rate, highest poverty rate, highest infant mortality rate, highest cases of preventable diseases, highest number of street beggars...You are huge joke, even to yourself....

Cry Baby.

Reckless UNITY BEGGAR!!!

Chief John Nnia Nwodo (Jnr) was elected as the President-General of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, recently. A lawyer and economist by training, Nwodo is not new to public life. He had served as minister of civil aviation (1983) and minister of information and culture (1998-1999), amid other national and regional assignments. He aspired for the presidency on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003. In this explosive interview, Nwodo speaks on his new responsibility and the state of the nation, baring his mind on issues like the alleged marginalisation South-east by the incumbent administration, the separatist agitation in the zone, restructuring and the economic recession ravaging the country, among other issues.

The secessionist agitation by the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) is one of the major problems confronting the country at the moment. The continued detention of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has been giving impetus to the agitation. How does Ohanaeze intend to handle the issue?

Let me say, first of all, that both the press and the government have an unfair treatment of the Biafran struggle. Boko Haram is worse in terms of treason than IPOB. Boko Haram is an armed attack against Nigeria’s sovereignty. It is a movement determined to Islamise Nigeria and to impose their own concept of Islam on the entire country. It is a movement intended to wipe our entire educational system and subject our women to lack of education. And where they physically conquered in the past, they erected local authority, traditional authority and hoisted flags. What could be a greater challenge to our national sovereignty than Boko Haram? I don’t see any.

The Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) is a militant organisation in the South-west; they move in convoys not confronted by the Nigerian Police or the Armed Forces. There is now streaming on the social media an Oduduwa Republic, advertised with the full complements of a national characteristic – the estimated GDP, the parts of Yoruba land that constitute Oduduwa Republic, their mineral resources endowment and what have you. They are actively encouraged by the intellectual class in Yoruba land. It has not even got a mention anywhere in the media, print or electronic. No security agency has invited anybody for questioning and the names of people who promote it are advertised. Nobody has been once invited to be asked why he or she is proclaiming an Oduduwa Republic.

Now, the people of the Niger Delta have sought for some independence of their own, if nothing else, fiscal independence. In pursuing this, they have turned into an arms struggle. They have blown up oil wells and oil pipelines. They have disrupted businesses and law and order with reckless abandon. Government is negotiating with them every day!

But the boys in IPOB have only asserted their rights to freedom of expression and freedom of association under the constitution. They are unarmed! The only instrument of mobilisation that they have is a radio station, which was not licenced. Meanwhile, all over the country, all kinds of people now have radio stations that are not licenced. None of them has been subjected to indefinite detention like Nnamdi Kanu. The discriminatory treatment of IPOB is a microcosm and a symptomatic of the macro subjugation of Igbos to second-class citizens in Nigeria.

Let us assume for the sake of an argument that they have done something wrong, which I don’t agree with. They are treated in a worse manner than other people in Nigeria who have done equally things that are very, very wrong. And as their father, I speak for them; I grieve for them and I champion for them. I have no apologies for this; they are my children and the justice of their case cries to high heavens. You see, the fact that a child explained loudly to his father what his grievances are is a symptom of love. If they were grieving internally and keeping this to themselves, they could be instruments of insurrection in the kind of a submarine. But they are crying aloud in the streets and saying, ‘we are not happy’. A good father would call them and say, ‘sit down my children, what is your problem’, like they are doing to the people of Niger Delta. They are negotiating with their fathers and negotiating with the militants. All the militants there have become billionaires overnight. They have an amnesty programme for them. But on the part of the IPOB people, the only answer is force, intimidation and total subjugation of the rule of law in their treatment. I say that this is wrong and I will continue to say so.

Are you inviting the government to negotiate with IPOB?

Yes, I am! I have only downed my pursuit of a negotiation with government on this matter because of the unfortunate health situation of our president. The President has been quite charitable to my executive by extending his hand of fellowship to us so soon after our election. And I salute him for this; it is magnanimous on his part. I also extended my hand of fellowship to him. The President is my personal friend. I was with him in the same political party; both of us ran for the presidency under the same party. So, I intend to explore that degree of relationship and his hand of fellowship with a view to seeing that this policy towards IPOB is reversed and we can sit round the table and discuss.

But what do you see as the root cause of this agitation because from every indication, those guys are not relenting?

You read my inaugural speech. We are completely shut out from the intelligence paraphernalia of this country. No Igbo man heads any of the intelligence agencies of the country; we do not head any arm of government. We do not sit in any sensitive ministry. The allocation to capital projects in Igbo land are made to achieve some kind of propaganda effect because in actual implementation, nothing is done. The Enugu-Onitsha expressway has been on very budget since the end of the war till today. Recently, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), assured us that in the next 17 months, those roads would be reconstructed. But we had been given such assurances in the past and they never came to anything. The Enugu-Port Harcourt road has remained like that since the end of the war. We had been given assurances in the past and nothing has happened. Contractors like Julius Berger don’t come to the East to work; contracts in Igbo land are awarded to second/third rate contractors, who do very little work. The Niger Bridge has remained in its comatose state for a very long time. Jonathan promised us that he would not leave office without the construction of the Second Niger Bridge but it never happened. Under this government, the project was suspended for a long time. I hear that work has resumed but I hope that it is so and that very soon we will see it completed.

The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has promised us that the River Niger will be dredged; I hope that it is concluded under his tenure. He seems to be a man who does what he says and I anxiously look forward to seeing the dredging of the River Niger executed so that we can have a seaport there. But this has been on the table for decades. The child I had when the project was first conceived is already studying for PhD today. So, these children don’t believe that the system is fair to them.

Now, the coal in Enugu has been lying there for God knows how long. As we speak, the Federal Government has not even done a feasibility study to determine the quantity of coal that is available so that it can attract foreign investors. Nkalagu Cement Factory has been moribund for a very long time and it is taking an Igbo, Ibeto, to revive and expand it. Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment looks away. And they have directors on that company? Nobody cares about the salt and lead in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State. Igbo people have no equal access to the exploitation of our mineral resources. Among Nigerians who are allocated oil wells in the country, we are in abysmal minority. Those licences are not given to us. This is preposterous, unacceptable and discriminatory; we condemn it in its entirety. It has to change; we are equal partners in this federation. Unless we are treated so, Nigeria is asking us to ask for secession once more.

A chieftain of the ACF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, recently said that the North was prepared for Nigeria’s breakup and you have said here that if the status quo doesn’t change, Igbos might still ask for secession. Are you saying that Igbos too are ready for the dismemberment of the country?

At no time in the history of Nigeria has our togetherness been threatened as it is today. The mutual suspicion between participating units in the federation is at its highest peak. That is why I am holding the consultations that I am doing. This is our last desperate attempt to save the Federal Republic of Nigeria. No doubt, there is strength in diversity. This is the greatest African country in terms of land mass, population and mineral resources; and also in terms of potentials for leadership and development. It is in the interest of all of us to work together. But we have got to do it the right way and if we don’t get it right we might as well say ‘to your tents Israel.’ That’s all I am saying.

YORUBA leaders from various groups and organisations, including Afenifere, Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF), among others on Wednesday met in Lagos to chart a way forward for Yoruba nation and also step up struggle for the restructuring of country under a federal system of government.

The 3- hour meeting tagged, Yoruba Summit and held at the Lekki residence of Chief Ayo Adebanjo, an Afenifere leader, who also presided, had personalities in attendance including Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu, General Alani Akinrinade, Senator Femi Okunrounmu, former governor of Ogun State, Aremo Segun Osoba; former deputy governor of Lagos State, Chief (Mrs.) Kofoworola Burknor- Akerele; Prof. Banji Akintoye, Prof. Bayo Williams, Dr. (Mrs.) Tokunbo Awolowo- Dosunmu, Chief (Mrs.) Nike Akande and Chief Goke Omisore.

Others are, Chief Kehinde Sofola (SAN), Dr. Femi Olajide, Senator Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, Chief Supo Sonibare, Dr. Amos Akingba, Otunba Gani Adams, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, among others.

Speaking after the closed- door meeting, Afenifere spokesperson, Mr. Odumakin, informed that the meeting was not about a certain Yoruba group, but of cross section of groups and organisations in Yoruba land, including all leaders that were in attendance and those that were not as well as those that were yet to come on board.

According to Odumakin, Yoruba leaders at the parley resolved on the need to step up the struggle for the restructuring of Nigeria by ensuring unity among those in attendance and those that were yet to be brought together in order to be able to speak with one voice on issues of common interest.

He, however, noted that the meeting was a precursor of a larger Yoruba Summit which was in the offing and would be held soon.

“It’s a meeting of Yoruba leaders, who have come together to look at the state of Yoruba nation within Nigeria. You can see the people, the who is who are here and we resolved on the need for the Yoruba to step up the struggle for the restructuring of Nigeria, to work on our unity among those who are here and to bring in those who are not here so that Yoruba can stand as one and to pursue the economic growth in Yoruba land.

“And towards this, Yoruba would be having a summit where all shades of Yoruba people that are not even here would gather.

“This one is not a meeting of any group. It is not a sectional meeting, it is a meeting of all Yoruba leaders, who have resolved that time has come for us to speak with one voice, with one vote and to navigate our way to a properly structured Nigeria, and we want to live under Federalism,” he said.

When SE and SS people tell una, una no hear...Tribalism, nepotism, and religious fanaticism...was ahead of rational thinking.

Air passengers were thrown into confusion at the weekend when Bureau de Change (BDC) outlets at international airports nationwide declared foreign exchange, especially dollar, out of stock.

Notable BDCs like Travelex, Sulah, Bossy Clean Exchange and Ibro Resources that had often sold at about N400 to a dollar, all declared “no dollar” to all outbound passengers.

Intending passengers travelling on business trips were forced to devise alternative means to go on with their travel plans or simply returned home after loitering around the unyielding BDCs.

“It was through the same means that I bought a ticket from the U.S. There is no dollar here and the airline is not accepting naira for purchase. My method is funny, but otherwise I would still not be able to travel, as the visa will soon expire. It is so crazy around here. May God have mercy,” she said.
The President of the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA), Bernard Bankole, blamed the situation on artificial scarcity that should not have happened in an ideal setting.

According to Bankole, “There is no reason for this scarcity because the official rate has not moved and the rate we get tickets has not gone up either. The official rate is still at N305 or N306 and the black market is doing at N520 to N525. But the round tripping has increased. So, people are envisaging that there may be devaluation so that they can make more money. That is the unfortunate situation.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is holding the country to ransom, and it is a shame. I believe if they have lost how to manage their forex policy, they should just resign and go away, rather than put the whole nation to shame. Because that is exactly what we are seeing now,” he said.

Mekwen:
Have they ever complained about us like you in Lagos? Just think & stop creating stories

You are hardly there...so why would they complain about you? You parasitically steal their oil resources while miles away...

Mekwen:
That's the point, we have never claimed we developed those oil areas, or call the place "no mans land" but always respected their culture that's why we are still welcomed any time unlike Igbos in Lagos.

You are welcome...where? What is your contribution in the oil producing areas? How many properties do you have there...? What is your tax contribution...

Mekwen:
But you have spent your share each time you rode on the bridge, road,trains, & enjoy every of those amenities.Have you forgotten since when your entire descendants have been enjoying Lagos ? hence the difficulty in leaving.

How long have you entire descendants been enjoying the oil money coming from another region?...How many of them still do kola nut and cocoa pod farming? The oil money was used for all those infrastructures...and the money is still flowing till tomorrow...but you didn't think of that...Ogbeni what are you thinking about? Amala and pkomo?

Mekwen:
Don't say I dint warn you, if you stay for another 10 years you must continue to pay & develop Lagos o.If it tires you, better dey go now.GBAM!

...while you lazy around blocking the streets...doing owambe?

ab11baddo:
u nailed it..... I don't hate d ibos but its funny how they think other tribes hate dem.without dem checking d reasons for that... Instead of them heaping blames on other tribes

Igbos didn't say other tribes hate them...Igbos say the central government hates them because of the civil war... I hope this is very CLEAR?

tolguy:
because NO MORE FREE MONEY

Are you by any chance...writing this from Oshogbo IDP camp

Killitoff:
Playing the victim card as usual. If those aboki see all the shit you devils write about them on your radio biafra page, they will gladly slaughter you like ram. You hate others but cry like sissy when they return the hate.

Kindly tell us who is holding you from leaving Nigeria? You receive monthly allocations just like others, you have senators, reps and governors just like others. Who is now holding you? You troop to the SW and North daily and still cry online that they are holding you. Dont you have shame?

It is a shame that a grown up like you...have no idea...of the difference between federal budget and state allocation...Many afonjas received half education through the crapy FREE EDUCATION SCHEME...Now, ask people around for the difference...Then you can respond to my post, again...

origima:
Am afraid of this local Palmwin tapping IBO leaders wailing up and down shamelessly. The failed to react under Jonathan but wish Buhari dead

If you amala and pkomo eater, could reason well, you will find that they were not marginalized in GEJ era, than now...There was one service chief from their region...
