Let me just digress a little before i focus on the main topic.

I read yesterday about how Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu (INEC Logistics commissioner) was referred to as the Biafran in INEC, and accused of being responsible for last week election postponement. We all remember The INEC Chairman ascribed the problem to "sabotage" (will talk about it later) and logistical issue.
I now took my time to google Prof. Ibeano's response to Dr. Jibo Ibrahim on "Resolving the Igbo Non-Question: Pitfalls of Jibo’s Single Strand Ethnic Narrative"

The link can be found here:
https://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2015/12/05/resolving-the-igbo-non-question-pitfalls-of-jibos-single-strand-ethnic-narrative-by-okechukwu-ibeanu/

Here are some of the excerpts from his response:


" I need not say that the Biafra agitation is more than relations between an ethnic elite and ethnic lumpen youths"

"The worst repression of the Biafra agitation was under Jonathan"

"Repeated reduction of voting in the Presidential election in the South East to ethnicity is somewhat curious". (even though S.E gave GEJ 2,464,906 votes, compared to PMB's 198,248 votes).

TO THE MAIN TOPIC:
As a young researcher (M. Eng holder), i browsed online to search for Prof. Ibeanu's publications and one of the results directed me to researchgate where i found a publication which is the title of this thread. It was co-authored by Nkwachukwu Orji and Kelechi Chijioke Iwuamadi", published 2016 (Ibeanu et.al., 2016).
You can download a copy from this link:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312129707_Biafra_Separatism_Causes_Consequences_and_Remedies/download

The introduction part talks about how 2 policemen and 9 protesters were killed during IPOB protest in Anambra on 2nd October 2015, he later refereed to Radio Biafra as " the most high-profile and radical movement for a separate state of Biafra.

He narrowed down the causes of Biafra Agitation into three main strands, which are: ethnic divisions and competitions, economic frustration and state-society relation.

He also used the book to indict the Yorubas of colluding with the Hausas to kill the igbos during Kano riot on 16th May 1953. He claimed the numerous riots in the North and the Northern counter coup lead to the civil war but he forgot to dwell more on Kaduna Nzwogwu's coup that led to the death of mostly Northern and South western leaders, and how Aguiyi Ironsi refused to punish the coup plotters.

The book proposes some measures to address IPOB agitations. Some of the measures are:

1. The Nigerian government should prosecute without delay and in accordance with
international fair trial standards all those implicated in the killing and abuse of
Biafran supporters.

2. The Nigerian government should set up a high-level Peace and Reconciliation
Commission to engage with pro-Biafra groups with a view to devising an effective
approach to the resolution of the agitation foot Biafra.

3. Nigeria’s development partners should issue public and private statements
denouncing excessive use of force against and human rights abuses of Biafra
supporters, and call on the Nigeria government to hold abusive security agents accountable.

However, as part of the measures to address IPOB agitation, i thought Prof Ibeano would caution The IPOB leadership as regards constant threats and hate speeches. A typical example is how Nnamdi Kanu threatened to Stone Rev. W. F Kumuyi to death if he says come to the east for his crusade.

ABOUT THE ALLEGED SABOTAGE:
It's no more a news that The INEC chairman said sabotage and logistics were the reasons why the election was postponed. i agree with him based on two reasons:

1. The Minister of State for Aviation , Senator Hadi Sirika , on Sunday said the country’ s weather was good for flight operations on the eve of the elections , contradicting claims made by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu .

https://punchng.com/you-lied-about-weather-minister-tells-inec/

Prof. Yakubu on Saturday blamed the postponement of the presidential and National Assembly elections on bad weather which affected flight operations .

2. I chatted with a church member serving in Katsina State to know the situation of things. He told me no election materials was on ground as at 11pm on the election even (scroll down for screenshots).

Meanwhile, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Ibrahim Zarewa, has admitted that there was a serious mix up in the materials sent to the state.

https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/masari-shema-others-speak-on-postponements.html

In conclusion, The INEC chairman was right about The Sabotage issue. But who could be responsible for it. ? Could it be the person in charge of logistics that has shown is open sympathy towards Biafran Agitation ?
The chairman also blamed the postponement on Logistics. Who is in charge of logistics ?

God Bless Nigeria.

Not really.....!! Buh u decided to be among his sheeples by following him in the first place, So there should be limit in the way u criticise him

Lol....

NaijaRoyalty:
That was a mistake which I've since corrected .
You've passed the first brain test .

A brainless person can never give a brain test. Go get yourself a brain first.

NaijaRoyalty:
Go get a job and stop constituting nuisance all over the forum .

What happened in Instagram should remain on Instagram

Don't bring your bullshits to this forum to pop annoyance

Fuckoff

Olodo. It's twitter, not instagram.
So you don't the difference between Twitter and instagram ? That's ridiculous!!! Ara oko oshi. lol...

More.....

Slynation:
Yes u deserved it....
How can u be following someone and hating from the inside....

How does criticism amount to hating ? So Reno wants me to be agreeing with whatever he says even if it's trash.

NaijaRoyalty:
I would Do the same should you come on my page and insult me.

It is normal

Celebrities do it .

Same person that abuses Buhari with uncountable derogatory words. So, you and Reno can't handle thesame insults you people dish out.
By the way, he wasn't insulted but criticized and he couldn't handle it.

After Reno Omokri's failed attempt yesterday to label Ex-Governor Tinunbu a tribalist through his released tape, Nigerians descended heavily on him. He could not take the criticism and he started blocking people. He blocked me too

Here are the screenshots :

C

Dude has even blocked me. lol...

HomeOfMe:
I'm not a Tinubu fan,but to be sincere "Awon okoro" is not an abuse. My sister is married to an Imo state man and I call her kids omo okoro. My husband's younger sister is living with her igbo husband in Manchester UK,and my husband calls her kids omo okoro,so it's not an abuse Reno should chill small.

Reno should just chill. Tinunbu even took his time to hail the igbos. Reno just want to intentionally create confusion.

Kearl:
Meaning your so called education has not impacted your thinking and way of life. So thousands/ millions like you are a problem to the advancement of this country.

Thanks bro.

What has being a graduate got to do with my comment

Is Buhari a graduate ?

It's obvious you can't have a meaningful conversation without mentioning Buhari. Is it Buhari that fed you with fake news ?

NaijaRoyalty:
I didn't watch the video because I know tinubu would end up spewing thrash from his cursed mouth .

I wish Ogun state people injured him with their stones.

Tinubu "Ole"
Buhari "Ole"
Oshiomhole "Ole"

So You didn't listened to the tape and you simply believed Reno Omokri in order to suit your bias. If you are a graduate, i can bodly say you are one of our problems in this country.

Reno released the second part of his tape about Tinunbu this afternoon and Nigerians used the medium to tell him to stop creating confusion and not to lead the nation into war. They also made it clear that Tinunbu was not insulting the Igbo but was hailing them for the red cap they made for him on Valentine's day.

And so? You guys call them all sort of bad names, from Nama(which means meat or animal) to Almajiri(which means student but in the Nyamiri quarters referred to as beggars) and so on, but they don't complain...

When Wike dressed up a goat and tagged it Buhari, you praised him.. forgetting that you dont plant a mango seed and expect to harvest Apples

Now they call you Nyamiri, you are opening a thread..

Don't mind them.
They all kept mute when Rev. Father. Ebube Muonso said One Igbo man is equivalent of 6 hausa men. This morning on Radio Biafra, They still called the Hausas Ndi Gworos and Yorubas; Ndi Yoruba.
They are hypocrites!

onatisi:
those who didnt watch the fight wont or cant understand, and to be honest i think denontay is overrated mainly because he hasnt been matched against any top fighter like fury, fury is his first major test unlike fury and aj who have fought and won against well seasoned fighters

You are right bro. Wilder is beatable! How could a boxer rely so much on one hard punch and lagging behind in other aspect. Aggression and hard punches doesn't win fight at all times, he should ask Foreman and Tyson. Fury obviously outclassed him today but he was robbed by Alejandro Rochan. People are already blasting Foreman on twitter for saying "the draw is a good decision".

cocococo:
White Privilege saved Fury. The match was a daylight robbery! I could take a draw for a one-knock down. But 2 knock downs? Hell no! The only way this could be a draw is if Wilder's hands was tied together all through the match and he didn't throw one single punch except when he knocked out Fury! Fury is good but for this match, he didn't deserve a draw!

Samuel Peter knocked down Wladmir Klistckho three times in 2005 and Klistckho still won by points. how about that. ? It was obvious Tyson Fury outclassed Wilder today

The clueless Jonathan should stop keeping malice with common sense. It's obvious he has not yet recovered from the shock of the defeat. His comment reeks of bitterness, i hope he get well soon.

I hate useless people..... betrayals

Hope you are not close to the lagoon ?

Agbaje is still nowhere to be found

Buharimustgo:
They are supposed to have 50% ,because of deliberate concentration of,and monopoly of Federal Revenue agencies.
Why will it be only in Lagos state that Nigerians will clear their containers?

Clearance fee goes to FG purse, not state. FG owns the port.

All you need to know about Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) Shiloh convention.

What is Shiloh?
Shiloh is an annual spiritual exercise by the Megachurch Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly addressed as Winners Chapel. The annual event is a fulfillment of God’s word in Joshua 18:1;



The meaning of Shiloh
In the days of old, Shiloh was the major place of worship for the Israelites. It is sometimes translated to mean peaceable. Shiloh is a place of rest – where God gives his beloved rest from all the troubles of life.
From the days of old, the name Shiloh has been synonymous with miracles, break-through, dominion, and even victory, as God always ensured the Children of Israel were victorious when they worshipped Him at Shiloh. Till today, God is still working miracles at Shiloh!

Miracles at Shiloh
God has always worked miracles through his chosen Prophets at Shiloh. According to Joshua 18:1, the Israelites were victorious after Joshua led them to worship at Shiloh. Also, in the account of Elknah and Peninnah in 1 Samuel 1, it was at Shiloh God wiped Peninnah’s tears by granting her request for a son, using his Prophet Eli to open her barren womb. She later conceived and gave birth to Samuel, who grew up to be upright, and was mightily used by God.

God is still working miracles at Shiloh. This time he chooses to us His Prophet Bishop David O. Oyedepo, the Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide.



Since inception, there have been countless testimonies at the Living Faith Church annual Shiloh convention, be it at the live venue at Canaanland, Ota to remote satellite locations across the globe and even online.
Its been such that there has always not been enough time to share the testimonies of miracles, as the custom of the commision gives every testifier just a minute to share what God has done for them, obviously, this is due to time restrictions.

The commission’s Press Publicity Service group tries as much to capture some of the unshared testimonies, but most are unaccounted for as Shiloh’s is attended by millions of people across the globe both online and offline.
Some of the recorded testimonies at Shiloh includes; healings from illnesses such as HIV, cancer, glaucoma, diabetes, asthma, spinal cord injury, pneumonia, deliverance from; spiritual attacks, death, miracle; marriages, jobs, babies, freedom from; poverty, addictions, etc.
Indeed, “When God wants to wipe the tears of his people, he doesn’t use handkerchief – he uses miracles”.



Shiloh 2018 Theme & Date
As declared by God’s prophet, the Presiding Bishop of the church. The theme for Shiloh 2018 is “Dominion” and the date is December 4th to December 9th, 2018.
The man of the miraculous, Bishop David O. Oyedepo has assured God’s people that;


Whether they’re attending at the convention ground at Canaanland, Ota, remote satellite locations across the globe or even online via the live stream. According to him,



How to partake in Shiloh 2018
The spiritual exercise is scheduled to hold at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota – Living Faith Church Worldwide, A.k.A Winners Chapel International world headquarters from December 4th – 9th, 2018.

The convention ground is always filled to the brim, and as such, some serious-minded participants make themselves available at the convention ground days to the event.

PureMe01:

I was surprised to see the post below on Radio biafra fan page. How true is it ? why so much hate for muslims. ?

Anaskie:
Which one is IPOB Leadership?

I know IPOB' s press statements are usually signed by a named official.

I doubt if this release emanated from IPOB.

People will just sit in front of their computers and manufacture stories to heat up the polity.

But then, what do I even know?

It's on Radio Biafra facebook page. Go and check

resurgent4oodua:
I am from the SW and I know muslims are terrorists. Not that I hate islam ooo, I just have a phobia for the religion and the violence it professes.

Congrats to the new congress women.

Keep deceiving yourself. Omoluabis' dont talk this way. K eep wallowing in your pool of delusion.
