Umahi z making suspicious movements, he z romancing with the SGF, and Buhari, he is the only PDP gov that z too close to the APC, and the media was a kind of insinuating that Umahi will likely decamp to APC to avert the current Minister of Information and Communication Technology Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu who hails from the same state and also eyeing the number 1 seat from using federal power to unseat him come 2019.

nextprince:
Bro, the issue is not that supplies were cut off completely. But sometimes, in the interest of safety and achieving the set goals, there are things which need to be sacrificed. Ambushes/mines could be laid on expected routes and in situations like these, u have no choice but to create alternatives.
Why is no one asking why the food items were conveyed by air rather than by road? These are what should be asked.
Do u know most of the top military commanders in the north east are practically on their toes on issues relating to soldiers' welfare? Or u think they are not aware of the dire consequences of loosing control of their men?
If soldiers could revolt for cases like these, then where lies the endurance expected of a military personnel?
Where is the much trumpeted discipline in the armed forces? No food for two days and the GOC himself accompanied food food items to their location and by air, then the next thing is to start revolting. Are they civilians or paramilitary? What sort of nonsense is that?
Note also, I have friends and relations in the military out of which some are presently in that maiduguri and I will tell u that some of these things are exaggerations. Some of them are doing everything possible to be taken away from there and that is cowardice which is a serious offence in the military.
Finally, pls give me link(s) to mutinies in other countries due to less harsh conditions.

I hv been reading ur analysis so far, and I go with u, mines and ambush re Laid by the enemies along d possible land routes likely to be used by the military.
When u see Some young Nigerians aspiring to join the military, it is not as if they hv the morale to fight a battle n secure their country, itz because they want to brag about appearing in Khaki /military camouflage, I can remember when we were at NYSC orientation camp, they do deliberately cut off our water supply and banned against the use of water bottle on parade ground, their reason being that it z part of Endurance training even though we were only engaged with paramilitary training and man o war drills.
And the military in the other hand hv undergone more sophisticated training and discipline to endure in case they find themselves in a situation where there is no food or water.
To me that behaviour is unprofessional and against the ethics of military, it shows lack of discipline.
if I should be enlisted into the army 2day, I will just comfort my mother not to weep much any day she couldn't see me anymore, I may in addition get my girlfriend pregnant for my Remembrance. military requires sacrifices.
I do read Al Jazeera reports of wars in the Middle East, US, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Turkey, Afghan,etc have lost countless of soldiers in battle with terrorists recently, yet there re rare cases of mutiny if at all there is over there.
Though I am not in support of poor logistics supply to our military but they should not be scared to fight even in the face of death, Bc that is what military is all about and they sworn an oath to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the country even if it amounts paying the supreme price.
#may God Strengthen our soldiers .
#Victory z from God Alone.
#God Bless Nigeria.

if only the faith/hope the MMM participants hv on the returning of MMM come Jan2017 will be converted to our hope/faith in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, it will do more good in our lives.

I am not a civil engineer but common sense do tell me that the strength of buildings re been reduced by shabby ratio of sand to cement mixture in a bid to make higher profit by block industry operators, poor reinforcement of pillars, poor ratio of stone:sand:cement mixture in the course of making a concrete, Owners of some buildings in Nigeria hv turned out to be an adviser to the bricklayers/mason men in a bid to cut cost, The regulatory agency hv been compromised as giving them their stipulated charge will cause them to approve ur structure and if u refuse to cooperate they will deem ur structure illegal n mark it for demolition/removal. So pathetic!

.If I hear...

the fear of Mugabe is the beginning of wisdom for an average Zimbabwean even those that have migrated to South Africa dare not criticise him for fear of being sent to jail anytime they steps their foot in Zimbabwe and those who dared risk being kidnapped and extradited by Mugabe foot solgers working as spies in neighbouring sadec countries


Basically, most of them I've interacted with prays and hope he dies, when ever Mugabe is down with sickness, lo and behold, the joy and celebration in anticipation of his death


infact it could be best described that every citizen of that country are under bondage you dare not talk of getting a justice if you are not a notable figure

just cast your mind back how Abacha was using Al mustapha and sgt Rogers to silent anyone that opposed him

wow! dunno b4. dats very bad of him. Maybe he wants to die on a presidential seat

There are elements of truth here
If u drive all Africans out of Africa today n probably swap them with the Americans or Chinese, they will automatically transform Africa to be most developed continent.
Africa z really blessed
Most African countries hv high deposit of crude oil like Libya, Angola, Morocco,Tunisia,Nigeria,Gabon,Algeria etc
We hv large deposits of gold, diamond, iron ore,columbite,copper,tin,lead,timber etc
We hv good fertile soil and the best weather in the world with less natural disasters lik earthquake, tsunamis, tornadoes /hurricanes, except drought in Sahara desert.

See d Iziot fingers like AIDS patient

Mugabe, the Monarch, but seems Zimbabwe people like him Sha, hv not heard them complaining, It z only US that z carrying the matter for head, as if they hv done better in Syria, Libya

I am currently serving in the North but My Observations: Seems it z d poor n gullible that sticks to hijab, and also the extremists do insist that their wives or daughters should put on Niqab/hijab
Why Aisha Buhari dem, Sanusi dem wives n children, Dangote dem wife/children no dey wear hijab??
is it not Zahra curvy hips that I am seeing so, and their necks, bosoms, is it not Haraaaaam! in Islam

Since hw many years, go to young Ebonyi created in 1996 with three Ultra modern flyover being constructed on Tran Saharan Highway, almost 90% completion, to be commissioned by Buhari come March 2017.
And it z be done by a governor that z less than 2yrs in office, with 3 more to follow suit.

OLAADEGBU:
What baffles me is that many so called christian would discourage believers from giving in their churches and when they give generously to build they still complain. What do you guys actually do for the people you are so much concerned about?

Call to discipleship z supposed to be driven by a self will to serve and win souls for Christ, not as a career as it hv turned out to be.
I am not against willful donation to raise a church building or do any other evangelism work, that one z quite okay but using God's name to extort money from gullible followers and venture into biz like school which more than 90% of the church members can't afford to enroll their wards z a scam.
Missionaries when they came to Africa were known for raising schools and hospitals, that z affordable to the common man, as rendering such services re part of evangelism, the church ran many motherless babies homes. The Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterian, Methodist etc churches made much impact in times of building schools and hospitals
Take a look at Jehovah's witnesses for instance, I am not a member but I guess d way the church z ran z deserved of any church, no career pastor, no tithing, no extortion, just free~will donations.
Tithe z an Old Testament law that commands d 11 tribes of Israel to give out 1/10 of their produce to the tribe of Levi that had no share of d land in the promised land, as they re reserved to work in God's vineyard.

I am a Christian but churches of nowadays re business oriented, Pastors hv turned into entrepreneurs, instead of Charities that the early church and missionary churches re known for.
Even Israelites that were told to pay tithe re no more paying it, yet Nigerian pastors will be charging people to pay tithe.
And tell me hw many of them[gen. Overseers ]will do what Jesus told Nicodemus to do, "To sell out his belongings, give to the poor and become his disciples " .
They will always groom they son to take over from them to tell u what they are up-to.

gsainttrinity:
ahh! we would kuku leave Christmas for you guys in the north to enjoy. we in the south will wait till we sight harmattan. Lol

#NoharmattanNoxmas

it will definitely surface b4 25th of Dec. itz probably due to climate change

gsainttrinity:
wow...

I didn't know Don Moen has taken up Nigerian citizenship.

By the way have the government postponed Christmas? We have not sighted harmattan.

u re probably in the South, we hv been experiencing harmattan here in the North since November

I only saw a courageous woman that z open n bold about her sexuality unlike some shy ones, This z less expected of an avg African woman.
But no vex o, Seriously u must be sexually hyper active.

Biblically Cousin marriage is allowed
Read Leviticus 18:1~30 [Rules about Sexual Intercourse ] it was given to the Israelites and by extension to the Christians.

This why some Nigerian prisoners abroad refused to be repatriated.
Nigerian prison z a purgatory not rehabilitation center.
I pray I will never commit something that will take me to Nigeria prison. God forbid!
I pity the small boy.

Rather put it this way:
##Med/Surgery
## Nursing
##Med Lab
##Pharmacy
##Law
##Computer Science
##Mass Comm
##Banking n Finance
##Public Admin
##Accounting
## Economics
##Biochemistry
##Microbiology

Frustrated hypocrites on the sprawl...

Fine face, ugly heart, face OduaArewanistan republic and mind your business with your Fulani masters...

FFK ON NK
Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of IPOB and easily the most courageous, powerful and credible Igbo leader in Nigeria today.
...
I was amazed at his depth of knowledge, his immense courage and his deep convictions.

...we must give honor to whom it is due. Consequently I have no regrets for what I have said.
...
I have associated with, met and worked with many men of influence and power since I entered the combustible fray of politics thirty years ago but this one was different.

This was a man that had what I would describe as a Mahatma Ghandi-like quality. That is to say he is one that is prepared to sacrifice everything and anything for his beliefs, his people and his cause.
Like the great Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace I have no doubt that if he deemed it necessary he would go as far as to sacrifice his very life in the struggle for freedom and independence for his Igbo people from the Nigerian state and from our internal colonial masters and for the establishment of his beloved Biafra.

Not all may agree with him on that course but they must respect his determination, passion and courage.

Very few Nigerian leaders have that level of selflessness and commitment to any cause and, simply put, I admire it.

I looked deeply into his eyes as we spoke and I touched and weighed his soul.

I can tell you, without any fear of contradiction, that he is a profoundly good man who loves his Igbo people deeply.

He is also well-educated and widely-read and he is a formidable intellectual.
...

He is not a politician in the true sense of the word but rather a freedom fighter and a charismatic leader who has managed to inspire millions of Igbo youth all over the world to once again have faith in themselves and their collective cause and aspirations. In my view that is a good thing.

I can also tell you this: he is a man of great faith and conviction and his rise to prominence is not ordinary but instead prophetic.

He cannot be destroyed or silenced by any government or man born of woman because the Lord is with him and He is using him. He is using him to say and do the things that many believe but that are too scared to say or do.
Other leaders have had their time in the past and now this is his. He is paying a very heavy price right now for what God will use him for in the future.


Very few leaders can or would be willing to take the pain and make the kind of sacrifice that this man is making today.

I am a very cautious and circumspect person and it takes me a while to warm to people or for them to win my confidence. Yet this case was different.

Nnamdi and I, rather like Che Guevera and Fidel Castro at the beginning of the Cuban revolution, connected immediately and he won my trust, respect and admiration.

If there is anyone that can truly build the much needed bridge between the south-west, the south-south and the south-east it is Nnamdi Kanu.

This is because he is pragmatic and sincere. It is because he is respectful and accomodating of alternative points of view and dissenting opinions and he speaks from a position of knowledge and strength. It ibecause he is very proud of his Igbo heritage and he would never betray his people or prostitute his principles.

The truth is that he is not just a combination of Owelle Nnamdi Azikwe and Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu: he is a combination of Azikwe, Ojukwu AND Major Kaduna Nzeogwu all rolled into one.

The fire of revolution and the yearning for fundamental and equitable change burns in his blood and resides in his bones.

He has spoken up for, defended and fought for the preservation and dignity of his people just as those other three leaders did in the past at different times in our history.
...
His love, remarkable courage and sheer passion for his people and their cause is boundless and unfathomable.

The Igbo is blessed to have him as one of the most respected and reverred leaders in our entire history as a nation."

good write up, well done.

disumusa:
so you expect buhari to release terror like kalu

Kanu z not a terrorist, he has not killed anyone, he has not bombed anyone, he is just a freedom fighter. He is a prisoner of conscience
I would rather say Buhari hv exhibited a terrorist tendencies when insinuated violence that lead to the loss of lives n destruction of ppties in 2011 after losing presidential election.
if a particular group of people z opting for secession, u call them to the negotiation table n hear from them and know why they are aggrieved and address the issue, not clamping down on them with force.
if this type of a thing happens in a civilized world, they do conduct a referendum to determine the will/wish of d people.
at times I do ask why z Nigeria afraid of losing Igbos? even though they are perceived as being mischievous, can't u just let them be so that they can go with their problems.

Haniel18:
it is people like u dat becomes slaves to d white..if it's a white nw will still say dat we don't respect culture

There z a difference between embracing ones Culture/tradition and Being obsessed with unnecessary Coronations and title giving, it z driven by pride,arrogance and greed on the part of the traditional ruler that looks 4ward for compensation inform of money, cars, appointment from d politicians.

Paretomaster:
and what is wrong in writing, and conversing in ur own Language?.....

abeg let's stop dis colonial mentality, Germans, Chinese, and other all prefer to use their own language....instead of English.

why did u think Hausa is second or probably d most spoken language in Africa?....or would it have been possible for Facebook, VOA, and other world class radios to adopt Hausa as a means of broadcasting...

let's embrace our own joor...

u re misunderstanding me guy, I like their doggedness, unlike some other tribes that hv a allowed d English language to drive their native language into extinction, I am even insinuating if it can be possible to translate all Subjects taught in schools in the North to Hausa, Bc their children will definitely understand better, just d way it z done in China, Korea, Japan etc.
I never meant to belittle them, I am teaching Hausa students currently as a corp member, and I know what I am encountering,and that z why I insinuated d adaption of the Lang in d 1st place.

Nyerhovwo101 :
there are great difference between those who worship God in truth and in spirit and bench warmers

bezimo:
I never stated the bolded, perhaps you are referring to some other post of someone else.

K hv realised, it was actually this guy Nyerhovwo101, but Bc u replied I thought it were u.

North would have been better if they are given a country of their own where they will adapt Hausa Lang as their lingua franca, Most Hausa's find it easier to conversate n write in Hausa than English

If you d pains these criminals do create on their victims, u will believe dat some deserve jungle justice, if u hv been robbed b4 u will understand what I am saying.
