$1b....??....seriously....??.....thats chicken change for serious military hardware....

Rich4god:
Fact is, defeating Boko Haram on our territory isn't a big deal. But it's unfortunate that our leaders and top military official have decided to sacrifice the lives of young Nigerians in exchange for monetary gains.


Just ask yourself this question, why is it that our military are always on the defensive side in this war. How often times have you had that we went offensive in this war? Where are the Boko Haram militias hiding? How come ethat the can gather and move in covoy from their base into borno town, attack their targets for about an hour and still retreat back to their base without been traced? Or are we fighting desert spirits.

This war, a lot of top men don't want it to end.

you have no prove for that....

boko haram is not only a nigeria issue....

nigerians are dangerously naiv....

do you nigerians even understand that you are not only fighting nigerians that call themselves boko haram....??

boko has gone international tey tey....

nigerians are very slow in understandin situations.....

boko haram even announced that they joined toghether with iswap that operates in middle east....

how can you people forget that announcement....??

i always shake my head when some nigerians ask ,boko no dey finish....??

this is nigeria for you....only very few take their duties serious....

all we care about titles and free money....

You are just confusing yourself and you won't divert this to a baseless point by removing and adding to my comment. What I said is still there in my post.. Gold coast changed back to Ghana and Rhodesias changed to Zimbabwe and others, is still where I stand. Ghana was Ghana before Gold Coast and then back to Ghana. Zimbabwe, Zambia and others were both of Rhodesias before changing to what they are today.

Yoruba was an independent country with clear boundary that even missionaries who were there saw testified. The point you wanted to suppress in my post is the fact that you all are afraid of being the true you and want to be lumped up and hide behind others to keep this unworkable jungle called Nigeria going. And I repeat your fears, why can't ethnic nationalities within Nigeria change back to their previous name like Yoruba country and what others are known by them? Everyone is known by a name even if they were hidden in the forest, what exactly is the point of keeping the useless name like 'Nigeria' when it's been more than a curse?

their is no such thing as Yoruba country....

we didnt used country system....what we had was either empires or loose ethnic groups....

wowcatty:
Ode, you keep your mouth shut if you don't know what to say.

sharrap....!!

you think i will keep quiet when you abuse him....!?

sharrap their....!!!!
na you be ode....

atleast if you igbos gather and speak with a voice,you would have a chance to win....

but nooooo,una are scattered everywhere like running from something....

and when anybody try to advice una how to win,una shout am out quick....

Stingman:
You enjoy the misery that engulfs your fellow country man?

What will a Kenyian say...?

When people say Nigeria is not a country some of you will start wailing and begging for fake UNITY.

no be you dey put yourselves into miserys continualy....

i mean ipob....!!??

its not nigeria that is divided,its you people.....

sheisse....!!

this people no dey shame atall atall....

onyeopobo:
We deltans? there's no tribe called deltan, Why don't you state your tribe in Delta state and then speak for it. And yes, a couple of the tribes within Delta state were not part of Aro...And we know that you're not from the tribe that was part of it, so no one's talking about you, friend. And this is an old thread why bring it back up?

i didnt noticed it was an old thread....

i didnt bring it back up....

EdiAbali:
It's hard to see someone who reason like you in the the South South even South East.

Thumbs up

wait wait....we deltans are not aro....

aro was a union of igbo chiefs....

demandin that all tribes in the delta join biafra is madness....

asari is not pure igbo....he has his own agenda....add to it,he is muslim too....
una real wahalas didnt even started sef and you are already havin issues....

i dont think sunnis see it the same way like you....

you not happy with nigeria then migrate to iran....
lets see how many of una this persians will tolerate before kickin your black butts....

IGBOSON1:
As much as i detest Trumps comments, i'd take him any day over a hateful and bigoted Buhari who sees nothing wrong in spilling Igbo blood!

because he took out a sect that wanted to turn nigeria into another somalia incident....

ipob is nothing but another sect....

yeah yeah....we don hear....now chill....its sunday for crying out loud....ceasefire....

comshots:
Mentioned one African American trump has killed through racist white and I can mentioned countless of killings carryout by backed Fulani herdsmen by buhari. Why have one killer not been arrested if the president is sincere about tackling insecurity?

buhari is not the leader of all fulanis....

accusin him of that is laughable....

wowcatty:
You are just an iddiot trying to sound smart! Why do I need to do a research to know that Gold Coast was the name given by the colonists and was later changed back to Ghana which was the previous name? Same way with The Rhodesias that have now change to Zimbabwe and the rest, theses are common knowledge. There was a Yoruba country so I figured other had countries too or what were you called? Anyway, some of you are forest people, but Yoruba had a country alright and colonists/missionaries wrote about it. When you see me make a comment here, believe it I know what I'm saying, I don't just jump.

The billion$$$ question now is, why is Nigeria holding on to this name?

forgive him....

u cant know everything,the same way he knows things you may not know....

Randerl:
Acts 13:1

thank you....

Laurene:
when you can't hold a coherent argument you resort to insults . How long will you keep pointing fingers at the so called original criminal? I'm sure if you don't eaten this morning you will still blame them

what the hell is wrong with you....??

you think am the only person pointing fingers at them....??

let me guess....:
you are connected to them somehow,or maybe you are a halfcast....

ni = have....
ger = strenght....

MobileGees:
What does the name Nigeria mean to you?

Nigeria is simply a geographical expression of the imperialists’ greed and spite.

Recently, I was on a flight from Dallas to London when I struck an interesting conversation with an American professor of African history. We talked...

about the human race and countries.

America, he said was named after an Italian explorer called Amerigo Vespucci. Amerigo was known to denote his discovered land a “New World”. So long after her independence, the New World appropriated quite well with the dream of all Americans

“What about Nigeria”? He asked me.

“Flora Shaw Lugard coined Nigeria and her inspiration was the river Niger”. I replied.

“Wrong”. The historian responded. “Republic of Niger was named after River Niger not Nigeria”. That’s what white historians want you to believe.

I don’t understand the gullibility of blacks. With resources but won't research but dwell and believe all the white man says” He added.

Nigeria simply means “The Nigger Area” or “Land of the Black slaves”. Nigger was a common derogatory slang used for slaves” He bluntly said.

His words hit my heart sharply and I was grateful the cabin lights were dim so he couldn’t see the expression on my face. It was a night flight; we had 9 more hours to our destination so I had all the time to listen. Sipping slowly on my orange juice I beckoned on him to continue

The West African Region identified as Nigeria today was known to have supplied more slaves than any other country. The quality of human “cargo” was supreme and priced much more than slaves from other West African countries. The men were strongly built and expert cotton farmers.

Only wealthy plantation owners could afford slaves from “Nigeria”. Little wonder, slaves from your country were nicknamed “black gold” and the British slave ship named “White Lion” brought them into Virginia.

“I am still not convinced” I shot at the grey bearded historian.

“Very well, lets start this way” he continued...

What gave River Niger its name?

I looked blankly at him…

It’s the European Slave traders and done for easy mappings. That river was the longest cutting across many black lands.

River Niger simply means the River of Niggers or Negroes as you wish to say.

Listen dear Natasha, you must have an open mind to first agree that most of what you were taught in Nigerian history is distorted and made to confuse the people.

I said nothing and he kept on talking

The imperialists were very brutal with no humane sentiments to Africa. Their business was simply to exploit and trade for their advantage. The Berlin Conference of 1885 legalized Africa as distant colonies to the imperialists.

Most African countries were named by what suited the “masters”

Ghana was named Gold Coast because the abundance of gold Britain exploited.

Zimbabwe was named Rhodesia by Mr. Cecil Rhodes who treated the country like his company.

Oh, lastly he added, the oil colony of the Niger Delta part of Nigeria was called the Slave Coast.

It was so when Asaba was the capital of the Southern Protectorate under the ownership of Sir. George Goldie the founder of the Royal Niger Company which had headquarters in Lokoja

Natasha, I hope you know that Sir. Goldie sold the Southern Nigeria protectorate (land and people) to the British Government for £865,000 (eight hundred and sixty five thousand pounds) in the year 1899.

“Finally, finally” he added. “there was a debate on whether to name your country Negroland or Nigritia as you were the most populated black nation. However, those on Nigritia won and the word was added in the Century Dictionary in 1904 to mean a large territory of niggers/negros”

Thanks for your “lecture” I said

Listen, I am sorry if I upset you but your country is greatly admired world wide for its great resources especially its people. What happened to them is distortion of facts to enable indirect rule function at the detrimental discord of its people

All Nigerian people need do is reach out to their core and harness a common vision which can bring forth the missing patriotism. You guys will be a world power in no time with your fire and potentials. But first…

- reach your core

- find your truth

- build your nation

Hint: Ask for the Southern and Northern amalgamation contracts. These should be made public for Nigerians to know. Get to know what terms Nigeria was married upon.

I know the Royal Niger Company was given some dubious rights to half of all mining revenue for 99 years from 1900.

These documents should be with the British government, United African Company and Leventis companies as there were parented from the Royal Nigeria Company. That’s if they are missing at your government’s administration.

That’s right… UAC and Leventis are owned by ex slave traders and still grow their empires in Britain.

“Thanks once again dear sir. I need to get to my seat for some sleep”. I appreciated.

Just as I got to my seat, we hit turbulence and the seatbelt sign came on.

The plane shook violently, my mind went to late Pius Adesanmi and I made a silent prayer for him.

I took a look at the live travel map that showed we were flying above the “Natashquan River” in Canada.

What? A river bearing a similarity with my name sounding like “Natasha Can”

Maybe this is a sign that I should not let this experience go but research more and share with you.

So I arrived Nigeria and began to research deeply; bearing in mind the professor warned that not all books are published as some information are preserved for the “discerning"

I searched up the Century Dictionary, the Slave ship named “White Lion”, Flora Shaw and the naming of Nigeria (what a story), the naming of the Republic of Niger; the Slave Coast of Niger Delta, Sir Goldie, Royal Niger Company, History of UAC & Leventis. the amalgamation contract

Wait a second… I searched for the 1914 Nigeria Amalgamation contract and found no answer. We know the English men to be high on documentations and record keeping so where are the amalgamation papers?





If you still don't believe let me ask you some quick questions
Who signed on behalf of Nigeria?

- Awolowo was born in 1909 and was 5 years at 1914

- Azikiwe was born in 1904 and was 10 at 1914

- Balewa was born in 1912 and was 2 years old at 1914

- Ahmadu Bello was born in 1910 and was 4 at 1914.

It’s clear that the formation and naming of our beloved country is shrewd.


We are lost… but we can find our bearing if we begin not only to have discussions about our existence but take proactive remedial steps.

Some would shove this off as “mere history”. However, remember the proverb “a river that forgets its source runs dry”.



2019 elections may have come and gone. A lot of cases hope for redemption at the tribunal. But I say this, its not over yet. We all can put voices demanding for disclosures of amalgamation/naming docs.
However, legislative and executive power matters in quickening the processes.


The Kogi governorship election comes up later in the year. Going through history, you shall see the possibilities of a New World being born from Kogi state.

Its possible to get a governor who would begin discussions towards a willing coalition of regions.


Until then, Nigeria is just a name given to a lucrative land of strong negro... The poverty capital of the world… a land afraid to be great. A land which feels it doesn’t deserve to be industrialized, educated, healthy and wealthy.

What’s in a name they say?

EVERYTHING!!!
