MNK has warned us all and any who had ears had heard

I pity Yoruba people, they don't even have the balls Hausa had when Fulani finished with them

mrvitalis:
So you want igbos to support an incompetent person so that one random igbo man would become president for 8 years? No thanks we are not that stupid

South East has the highest HDI of any region despite getting the lowest allocation

Maybe you guys should learn from igbos

Igbos would vote who we believe is the better alternative, if he is an igbo man good if he is from sokoto we don't care trust me

yarimo:
I was also right, HBP is real

yarimo:
take it easy HBP is real

DeclanR:
Do you Think Kwankwaso would want to deputize for Obi?

The light of wisdom from the God of the universe has visited you and brightened your mind to set you free

See as Igbogho is looking like a Scarecrow



That Omonile koward

Omoawoke:
Catholics hurt me too..


You see black African Catholics, all the saints are whites.
Mother Mary is white, Jesus white..-angels white
And dem go dey bow down to white images…

How foolish? Like it’s beyond words… it’s better to worship your village idols than bowing down to people who enslaved you

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
The same question can be asked of various tribes and ethnicities in Nigeria. Examples include: Igbos hate you, why should you be in the same country with them if they want out?

aswani:
The madness of not following a legitimate and legislative process in removing your tribe from the country.

HoleLickerz:
Omo I swear.

Unfortunately that legacy is now dead.

The visionary leadership style of the great Awolowo is now replaced by Baba Sope politics of handouts.

The current crop of Yoruba leaders have so abandoned education that Southwest region is now the least educated region after the north.

Or tell me why we visited Ibadan and went to eat at Amala Sky at Bodija and all the girls working there neither spoke nor understood basic English or even pidgin. The manager was the one interpreting to them. And I’m talking about grown up girls o that are working in the heart of the city of Ibadan.

You can’t find anything like that anywhere in Southeast nor Southsouth.

So, Awolowo’s legacy is dead - unfortunately.

aswani:
This is the difference between Ndigbo and Ndi Yoruba.

Sunday Igboho can't raise even 50 people and Ndi Yoruba as a whole will never take him seriously. A (sophisticated) tribe that is full of eminent people will never ever follow Sunday Igboho to carry out his madness, they wil simply laugh him back to the rock he crawled out from..

Dalohad:
Laughable, I pity the 50,000 Yoruba youths wey go just die sara for this conman...

kettykin:
Isn't this a declaration of sovereignty. What then happens to the commando in chief of the armed forces. Does he still exist.


Why then is NK still in Sokoto

gidgiddy:
Yeah, What Ironsi did by putting the civil service of the 4 Regions under his office was so bad, Decree 34. He is an Igbo man

But what Gowon did by abolishing the 4 Regions entirely, creating 12 states, taking away resource control, and putting the civil service of the 12 new states under his office, is commendable. He is a Northerner


Nice one

Omoawoke:
Good, it means you are among the very few black Africans that is not foolish

gidgiddy:
Thats because you guys dont know what unitary governance is. You can't have unitary governance where there is resource control, resource control is the most important aspect of federalism, and Ironsi kept resource control, while Gowon removed it. The only thing you people keep making noise about is a civil service Decree, Decree 34. While Gowon who balkanised your Regions with Decree 14, created 12 states, took away resource control with Decree 15, is out there laughing at you all

gidgiddy:
In other words, what you guys care about is ethnicity and nothing else?

Ironsi and Ojukwu are Igbos, and supported decree 34, a civil service Decree

But Gowon is a Northerner, so his decree 14 that abolished the 4 Region and created 12 states, and his decree 15 that ended resource control, are highly welcome

Ok

aalangel:
Dear Writer, you would have even stated what is in the Aburi Accord for your readers to understand more.

The Aburi Accord was a 1967 agreement reached in Aburi, Ghana, between Nigeria's federal government (led by Gen. Yakubu Gowon) and Eastern Region representatives (led by Col. Chukwuemeka Ojukwu) to prevent civil war. It proposed a loose confederation and decentralization of power, but failed due to conflicting interpretations, leading to the Nigerian Civil War.

Key aspects and outcomes include:
Purpose: To resolve the political crisis following the 1966 coups and massacres of Easterners.

Key Terms: The agreement emphasized regional autonomy, creating area commands, and requiring the Supreme Military Council's unanimous consent for major decisions.

Collapse: The agreement broke down after both sides failed to agree on its implementation, particularly regarding the interpretation of the resulting Decree No. 8.

Consequence: Its failure resulted in a 30-month civil war (1967–1970).

Christistruth03:
That was the dismantling of the Regional Autonomous Power

Gen Ironsi controlled those states and they lost their independent Law making Powers

The Western Region had all its assets seized by the FG including its UK Embassy building on Great Portland Street in London


Before Ironsi the Western Region had its own Embassy in London
Its diplomatic staff and assets were forcibly taken over by the Ironsi FG

ElSudani:
What is the difference between how Arabs and Jews treat Africans?

gidgiddy:
Each Region was a group of provinces same as each State into today's Nigeria is nothing but a group of Local governments. If I choose to call Anambra State 'Anambra group of Local Governments', does not change the fact that Anambra state is still there as an administrative unit. The terminology did not make Anambra disappear. So if Ironsi's administration chose to call the Western Region, the Western group of provinces, thats what they were anyway.

It was military rule, not democracy. In military rule, you take orders from your boss. How do you people expect military rule to be democratic? Are you people aware that Ironsi didn't take away resource control from the 4 Regions? That each Region controlled it's resources under Ironsi? Are you people aware that after Gowon came in, he abolished the 4 Regions with Decree 14, created 12 new states to replace them, then he removed resource control with Decree 15?

I laugh at peoples ignorance

gidgiddy:
Ironsi said it in broadcast yet Ironsi had 4 Military Governors of 4 Regions the day Ironsi died? Or do you people not know that Lt Col Fajuyi was Military Governor of the Western Region the day he was killed alongside Ironsi? The same Western Region you people say Ironsi abolished with a Broadcast.

gidgiddy:
All of this is not the argument. The argument is that you people said Ironsi abolished the 4 Regions Nigeria had

edcas:
Jesus never used any form of magical powers or charms to perform miracles. The turning of water into wine, feeding the multitude with five loafs of bread and two fishes, or any other miracle was made possible by the divine power that is Him (Jesus). Let it be known to you that no magical power or charm can withstand the power of Jesus, because the power and authority in Jesus can silence any magical power or charm. The Bible says, "At the mention of the name of Jesus, ...... every knee must bow" (Phil. 2:10-11). Jesus Himself said, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18).

Christianity may be seen as a foreign religion, but the gospel of Jesus Christ is not foreign to any culture because Jesus Himself commanded that this gospel be preached to the uttermost part of the earth (cf Acts 1:. So if you want to be a Christian, be careful to follow His teachings, and avoid any practice that is not in alignment or agreement with the teachings of Jesus.

It was all about the civil service
