Pukkah: This report rests on 4 pillars:

Enugu airport, Orient Petroleum, Census, and crude oil in Anambra/Kogi.

Right?

Odimegwu goofed with his comment. Fact. Jonathan did the right thing by querying him and he resigned. Who do you blame for this? Let's be honest.

Yar'Adua approved Enugu as an international airport and as a REGIONAL hub? Fact. Right?

I've provided links to what Peter Obi said on Orient Petroleum. Right?

Crude oil exploration is also baseless as Abia is an oil producing country. Why wasn't Abia denied by the so-called 'owners of Nigeria'?

Did I leave anything out?

I'm not even supporting Obasanjo and I have serious issues with the way APC is going about some things. While I criticize him, I have also suggested many things to Jonathan as I believe he could and should have changed many things.

This report, I maintain, is spurious and calculated to create some imaginary enemies for the SE and SS. I'm not saying the SE or SS don't have enemies but this report pieced together rubbish assumptions and tales just to create hatred, panic, and pandemonium.

Erm, why are you defending the report, are you the author?

Let me start from the bottom and then trace it up, first thing first, I am not defending the piece as you wildly assumed neither am I the author but just linking up events together to arrive at my conjectures, Nigeria remains an artificial creation of the British whereby their stooges from the North were delicately placed in 'control' you may google 'Glover's Army' which consist mainly of the Hausas! But that aside, I am of the strong opinion that 95% of what the article entails are FACTS that cannot be refuted, why? Obasanjo still remains a puppet in the hands of the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy (the Kaduna Mafias), I have also raised the major plank to the wheels of progress to the development and full integrations of the Igbos shortly after Biafra that gave birth to the current suspicions the Igbos have against the rest of us when it comes to Nigeria's Polity, but it seems you don't want to address that. Of course, the points you picked from the article are facts too, but this one.....

[quote author=9ja_I_hail]If there's element of truth in this report, then it should be an eye opener to my fellow misguided igbos who believe that GEJ should be kicked out of Aso rock. We that understood the game these monsters played after the civil war will remain steadfast with GEJ. Now this report gave more insight to Amaechi last week rants , Asking if they are (BIAFRANS)[/quote]You are a wise man, I have always maintained that any attempt to smuggle in a Hausa Man back to Power will definitely spell doom for this country and may likely lead to a national 'Political Conflagration'! Jonathan for now is the surest bet in the midst of this political logjam!

Pukkah: Oh, I didn't see this thread on time. There's another thread with the same story on which I've posted some things and tried to educate some fools.

I will reproduce some of my posts from the other thread.

...and who are those fools you were trying to 'educate'?

Bishop Juice: Leave the ediot and his aimless rantings.

You wondered at why I was expecting his own 'version'? He seems to know Nigeria more than those at the top, the truth is what the thread is about is nothing but the absolute truth about this contraption called Nigeria! Shortly after Biafra Civil War, Gowon promised them the 3Rs which he eventually declined on the long run, for that singular error, the Biafrans were formally emasculated which had denied them the Presidency in a country they sweated blood to build with other ethnic groups! Gowon shouldn't have defaulted on that Marshal Plan for the Biafrans even the Literary Icon of our time, Chinua Achebe posited on that in this article; http://sunnewsonline.com/new/opinion/of-achebe-awolowo-gowon-and-biafra/

Pukkah: You are the one that's sick and the sickness is in the head.

Open your eyes and your brains to read and argue with facts.

The useless and provocative report you put up there contains exaggerations and half-truths.

In a sane society, you should be offering apology for misleading people and not to be up in arms with the person correcting you.

Ok Sir, tell us your own version that is devoid of exaggerations and absolute truths please don't disappoint

Pukkah: There's nothing 'spot on' in his post.

All these fabled conspiracy theories aginst the East should stop.

I have given you evidence that Yar'Adua approved Enugu airport to international status and a regional aviation hub.

What do you have to say to that.

Let's stop this 'we against them' or 'they hate us' mentality.

I want to believe that YOU ARE ALRIGHT

Bishop Juice: Nothing new.

Akpabio made mention of this when he asked why the reconstruction embarked on after the civil war did not begin in the east were the war was fought.
You also have the SE coastline being neglected in place of congested Lagos port. Even where ports are available in the southeast, the FG through Customs and shipping rules designated PortHarcourt, Calabar and Warri Ports for specific cargo only while Lagos can handle virtually any cargo.

This is the legacy of the civil war that has instituted mediocrity and underdevelopment to the pace of the North and southwest. The fear of Ibos and their individual entrepreneurship is borne mainly out of envy and jealousy.


I can't blame the north as this policy is mainly by their cabal elite but the SW with all their numerous enlightened peoples who have served in governance at one time of the other know fully well about this policy and went full throttle with it.

This is why I have come to look down at most SW people.

Spot on Bro, I was shocked to the marrow when I stumbled on this page on my facebook page, I just knew a lot is going on that we (citizens) are yet to know, the more reason I keep praying for him to stay longer than 2015 to save us from the grips of these 'strong ones'!

Indeed, there are lots of things going on in the dark concerning this country that even a Mandela or Mahatma Ghandi would be consumed if they have been privileged to rule this country!

While the country [Nigeria] grapple with the oily grips from the quibble between a political godfather and a political godson, little is made of the actual behind the scene factors that led to the crack in the formerly rosy relationship. Information available to 247ureports.com through sources close to the principal actors within the warring camps reveal what appears an unspoken truth – that dates back to the fall of Biafra to the Nigeria troops led by the then Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo in Owerri, the then capital of the federal republic of Biafra.

According to the consortium of sources who spoke on the true causative factors responsible for the turn in demeanor in the former People Democratic Party [PDP] godfather, General Olusegun Obasanjo towards President Jonathan, indicate that the chief reason for the effort to halt Jonathan’s presidency before 2015 points to the formerly agreed upon policy towards the former eastern region – which later became the Biafra territory – that then lost the war the Nigerian troops.

According to a competent source, the self – acclaimed victors of the Nigerian civil war, the likes of Buhari, Babangida, Obasanjo, Gowon, Murtala Mohammed and company – had an agreed upon policy of under-development of the region – to aide sedated the urge for another agitation group to find its footing. The policy was particularized for the south east zone.

Such policies focused on denying the region of an international airport, ability to source crude oil and refine, ability to access international trade and technology – among other sensitive developmental vectors. Through the successive government that followed after the military fall of the Biafra effort, the policy was implemented without error. Obasanjo’s regime during the civilian era ensured that the marginalization policy remained unchanged.

The talk of locating an international airport at each geopolitical zone in Nigeria saw a defiant Obasanjo when the discourse included South East region. The Obasanjo regime also saw the placement of an oil refinery in the South East as going against the agreed upon policy of the winners of the Nigeria/Biafra war. The exploration of crude oil deposits around the Kogi/Enugu/Anambra belt remained abandoned during his regime.

The surprise and uncharacteristic coming of Dr. Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan to the presidential seat brought an anomaly into the equation. The said owners of the country did not expect what his presidency may result to – as per the agreed upon policy towards the south east region. Obasanjo had promised his “co-owners” that he would be able to “control” the excesses of President Jonathan – “that Goodluck was his boy” and will be held with a short leash. Obasanjo’s northern partners were able to rest their nerves in that President Jonathan will serve a mere one term and that by 2015, he will step down from the mantle of leadership and allowed for the owners of Nigeria to continue along the path already set out by General Gowon.

A source close to Obasanjo told 247ureports.com that the former head of state had stated in serious discussions that Jonathan chances putting Nigeria at risk over his conversion of Enugu Airport to International Airport because of the history of the area. He also mentioned the opening of the Orient Petroleum oil drilling and refining services as near treasonable – because it allows the region access to precious cash commodity [as crude oil] should the region chose to declare independence from the Nigerian Union again. The source pointed out that Obasanjo sees himself as a defender of the present day Nigeria dating from post Nigerian civil war. The sources continues that Obasanjo sees himself as responsible for ensuring that the country stays together as one unit. In his mind, the eagerness of the Jonathan presidency to ease the tariff placed against the former Biafran region points to a dangerous precedence that may be copied by other leaders – if not checkmated.

The recent open letter to the President of the federal republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck E. Jonathan by the former president, General Olusegun Obasanjo is believed by our source to be part of the program to halt the trend of easing the economic blockade against the south east and south south region. One of the principal fears – according to the source – concerns the upcoming national census exercise scheduled for 2016. The recent public utterances by the former top boss of the national population commission, Odumegwu, stating that the previous census figures were either wrong or falsified, exacerbated the fear harbored by the self-proclaimed owners of the country. It lead to the likes of Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso into issuing threats to the President charging that he sack the census commission boss – or face the consequences. President Jonathan bowed and unceremoniously sacked Odumegwu.

But Jonathan’s body language of wanting to continue his leadership past 2015 has the former president and one-time coup-plotter unsettled. Both President Jonathan and Obasanjo are reported to have met severally behind closed doors over the upcoming 2015 elections – with Obasanjo impressing on Jonathan that his desire to contest will throw the country into bloody revolution. At a recent secret meeting in Abuja [not Aso Villa], the two were said to have met at a home belonging to a high personality in Asokoro – where Obasanjo continued to remind President Jonathan that he will be embarking on a potentially catastrophic mistake should he continue to be adamant about the 2015 venture. Some of Obasanjo’s northern partners were reported to be present at the meeting – when President Jonathan responded that a truly democratic Nigeria must not be allowed to degenerate to bloody chaos over constitutional rights and freedoms. The President was reported to have made it categorically clear that Nigeria remains a free democratic society for every citizen regardless of which geopolitical zone one originates “justice must fear no evil” – to which Obasanjo retorted, “You may not survive this”.

Whatever it is, Jonathan should watch his back because Obasanjo hardly forgives especially at such a time like this. Obasanjo should not be held closely by the Presidency because the man is more dangerous now.

Ezeife spoke like a true wiseman, he captured the true colour of Nigerian politics imaginatively well, if Jonathan is dull, not good enough to rule according to APC and their 'rented supporters' definitely to somebody like me, a Northerner is not an option worth considering! Jonathan still remains the best option for now!

ketoprofen: Local politics that dismantled ur sophisticated politics.

guy you just shut that niggy up

Kasamu is right on this one, my predictions still stand concerning Ekiti and Oyo Gubernatorial Elections that APC will lose big time. The end of Tinubu's grip in Lagos politics is near no doubt!

Na wa for this 'Man Of God'

SELENAqueensy: God pls I need dis kind of love from a guy

You go tire

Idoma Likita: Flog the Corpse 24 lashes of the koboko before burial

Kai you too funny, but won't you just accept that a soul is gone never to be seen again, people love (perhaps lust or infatuate) for the wrong reasons most times RIP to the dead!

Adekunle Adebambo, a graduate of Architecture from the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) yesterday January 1, committed suicide by hanging himself in an uncompleted storey building.

According to , Adebambo’s body was found around 1 a.m. yesterday dangling from a rope tied to the hook of a fan in an uncompleted
storey building at 1, Alice Ogunsona Street, Hilltop Estate, Eruwen, Ikorodu.

The deceased was found by his younger brother after reading the suicide note he left in their sitting room.

He allegedly blamed his action on his girlfriend’s father who refused to allow him marry his daughter.
A friend of the deceased disclosed that Bambo, as he was fondly called, killed himself because his fiancee’s father, who is from Ondo State, said his daughter cannot marry him because he is an Ijebu man from Ogun State.

Many of the sympathisers who gathered at his residence found the excuse for his action difficult to believe.

Efforts to speak with his fiancee proved abortive as she refused to talk.

P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that
Adebambo, 30, studied Architecture at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and did his national service in Abia State. A resident of the Hilltop Estate, Ibrahim Adeola, who said he participated in bringing down Adebambo’s body from the ceiling, recalled that he was dead and stiff when they brought him down.

“When the family raised an alarm and we came here, he was already foaming in his mouth and his hand was clenched in a fist. This signified that he struggled till he died,” he said.

What a rich letter, the question now is, what prompted the Ebora of Owu, to pen that unnecessary letter to Jonathan in the first place? Now see what the old man is facing

mgbeketoto: She must have been doing 419 testimony and HER GOD decided to silence her for ever. . .?
Who knows?
Everyday for the tief!

This is new year chief, say what you know something about or forever shut your mouth

Na wao, even this chimp is worried.....

Yomieluv: to either party,Fasola,and GEJ,the same logic applies here,I always tell people to take it easy on GEJ cos the president is saddle with problems as a result o neglect of yesteryear..so either for GEJ,or Fasola,Nigerian shouldn't expect miracle.

Ok then, you are covered!

lekkie073: story
fashola is spending Lagos money, and we the aboriginal lagosians are not lamenting. not federal govt money like Stella oduah! case closed!


and just in case it makes homepage/ front page.....
I am highly honoured by God to be the first to comment on this issue. so I forbid anyone to say anything negative about the original 'face of good governance' in africa, babatunde raji fashola

Were you a SLAVE to someone in your former life?

Boss13: Can we be progressive and stop retrospect attacks on a man who was once a former president and less effective to the progress of Nigeria.

Stop retrospect attacks? What? Why? If not for the magnanimous nature of Jonathan, Obj should be in jail by now for his unguided statements against Jonathan that are yet to be substatiated with evidences/facts as the case may be! Obj is a loose canon and bloody hypocrite!

Yomieluv: How do you expect a governor to fix the rot of many years of neglect,if other governors had been performing,fasola's input would have been felt,so don't expect miracle to happen too soon.

I didn't mean to digress from this rich thread but just to suggest that if it were Jonathan, the rot must be fixed immediately but becos it is Fashola's (Mr Eko o ni baje o) turn he should be excused and perhaps given more time what a logic!

@Op, you will live long in the land of the living! You have captured succinctly well the true color of Jonathan's Transformation Agenda beyond any doubt. As for me, Jonathan remains the BEST President since the emergence of this contraption called Nigeria! I have always maintained that no President (whether dead or alive) had achieved this much within a short time despite the avalanche of unnecessary oppositions against this gentle man from Ijaw Kingdom! I pray for him everyday becos he is d BEST!

owobokiri: Obasanjo gave you GEJ, Shagari and Yaradua. He could have retired Buhari, Babangida and Abacha since most of them have held political offices before he left in 1979. Obasanjo didnt mind Abiolas stolen electoral victory and tried a 3rd term when he had a rare oppurtuinity to reset this countrys politics post 1999. For the first time in the history of Nigeria a head of state left office and became an instant billionaire. It was not the case with Balewa, Ironsi, Gowon or Murtala before him. They were all poor in relative terms even if they underperformed. Obasanjo didnt just underperform, he stole everything in sight and started a farm that can not be said to be a legitmate product of his pensions. This was in the 70s and 80s when the highest cases of corruption were just occassional cases of '10%'.He taught officialdom in Nigeria how to loot in billions. HE KILLED, MAIMED, STOLE AND HANDED OVER TO UNPREPARED CHARACTERS so he could look better. Jonathan is not leveling Bornu as Obasanjo did Odi, Zaki Biam and others. Obasanjo destroyed this country. He is by far the greatest curse placed on Nigeria by Lucifer.

YOU ARE A WISE MAN!

superstar1: Happy new year bro. Let's forget our end of year fight of last year.

ojubi: Am so inspired by this man's story.
Mind you many of his mates here on NL are blaming GEJ for their inability to pay their house rent.
Show me a man who blame government for all his life failures and I ll show u a shameless looser who was sleeping when his mates were hustling.

You can say that again! You have said it all, I wish you the best in this promising YEAR!
