omenka: Was going through the forum's archives and came across a thread about the IPOB'S leader's dressing to one of his rallies in the SE and something caught my attention in one of those pictures.
Given how unforgiving both PDP and ipob supporters have been when it comes to fashion choices made by the current leaders of this country as they are always quick to tell us how much Buhari's shoe is worth it the millions Aisha's gown cost "tax payers", I was sorta disappointed when none of these people made the slightest attempt at telling us how much Kanu's shoes costed ipob sponsors.
Now, it should be clear insults from ipob trolls don't bother me anymore and I have developed very thick skin to them, so such would be pretty much expected here. In addition to those insults, it is my hope someone would be kind enough to give us an answer to this:
How much does Nnamdi Kanu's Zanotti shoes cost?
Mynd44, Lalasticlala, I hope you take this to the fp so we can have our team of investigators give us some credible answer. Thanks.
givbitcoin: If Nnamdi comes to Lagos and go free without ambode arresting him, then I'll know certainly that the Biafran agitation is a Yoruba conspiracy against the North.
TonyeBarcanista: You are talking of 1959 when there was Igbo dominated Eastern Region.
Meanwhile as far back as 1912, the Ijaws (Okrika) signed the first treaty with the British for the establishment of Portharcourt. A second treaty was entered with Rebisi Chiefs (Ikwerre) (brokered by Ijaws) in 1913. That was prior to amalgamation.
Go and collect it back oga Sir if you aren't satisfied with the status quo
The status quo is that Port Harcourt is Igbo land and we are satisfied with the status quo.
EDonHappen: The General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and miracle ministry, Pastor Chidi Okafor recently cursed a woman to go blind for being a witch.
The pastor, during a deliverance section called out a young lady identified as Blessing, who was suffering from issue of blood for six months.
Okafor claimed God ministered to him that the person behind her ordeal was her mother, Dorcas, who was also present in Church during the ministrations.
However, drama played out during the deliverance as the woman, believed to be in her 60s denied afflicting her daughter with the strange ailment when confronted by the pastor.
Angered by her denial, the pastor asked God to strike her with blindness for ten minutes.
In what looked like a set of Nollywood flick, the woman suddenly went ‘blind’.
After she confessed and admitted inflicting her daughter with the sickness, the pastor prayed and her sight was ‘restored’.
MalcoImX: There's a rapper called The Game. Was it not Uwazuruike who was seen visiting northern leaders in order for the threat not yo be carried out? MASSOB's and all this Biafra noise should henceforth be called The Game.
Uwazuruike was expelled from MASSOB long time ago.

LAGOS — A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has granted an order mandating the Federal Government to apply a uniform cut-off mark to all candidates seeking admission into Federal Government Colleges, also known as Unity Schools, irrespective of their states of origin. Trial judge, Justice John Tsoho, in the landmark decision, declared as unconstitutional, the state-based admission inequality in Federal Government colleges.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, in the suit against the Federal Government and the Minister of Education, had challenged the prescribed different cut-off marks for different states, based on candidates’ gender and their states of origin, arguing that same violates the candidates’ fundamental rights to freedom from discrimination guaranteed by Section 42(1) of the 1999 Constitution. He had argued that Section 42 of the 1999 Constitution prohibits administrative or executive actions by government that discriminate between Nigerians on grounds of ethnicity, gender, religion and place of origin. He had asked the court to declare that the administrative act of the respondents, particularly the Minister of Education, which prescribes and applies different requirements including cut-off marks for candidates seeking admission into Federal Government colleges, based on gender, ethnicity, states of origin, etc., is discriminatory against applicant’s grandchildren and the group or class they represent, on grounds of ethnicity, states of origin, gender, etc. and therefore violates Section 42(1) of 1999 Constitution. He also prayed for: *An order directing the respondents, particularly Minister of Education to apply uniform admission requirements, especially cut-off marks to all candidates seeking admission into Federal Government colleges, notwithstanding their gender, states of origin, ethnicity, etc. *An order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents, particularly the Minister of Education, whether by itself, its agents, servants, privies or otherwise howsoever from further acts of discrimination in admission to Federal Government colleges. Agbakoba in a 19-paragraph affidavit had averred that since the inception of the Unity Schools, the Federal Government had maintained great disparity in admission requirements for candidates wishing to be admitted into Federal Government colleges. In particular, he had argued that the Federal Government prescribed different cut-off marks for different states, based on candidates’ gender and their states of origin.
After hearing arguments from counsel to parties, the court ordered that the Federal Government and Minister of Education should apply uniform cut-off mark to all candidates seeking admission into Federal Government Colleges, irrespective of their states of origin.
