blabulu2000:
Obi Peter is a disaster and some of.you including the OP stupidly still voted for him. It is only in Nigeria that we don't research on some political candidates before sheepishly cast votes for them..
All kind of people....
I remembered during the presidential campaign...a.lot of people followed the cloud and trending fake messages on social media platform about Obi Peter...whenever I post any contrary message about him then, it is either I banned or the message removed ....even nairaland politcs MoD played lots of nonsense discrimination against some.of us who her not in support of Obi Peter...

And this is a lesson that shouldn't repeat itself again among the youth ....you don't follow bandwagon..try and have the mind of your own...those political influencers here on nairaland are ordinary school graduate like you ...the exception is that they studied and make more research in order to know how to market any political candidates and this is what some people like Reno Omokri, Fani Kayode , Festus Kemayo do that usually fetch them lots of money ....
As a youth , you have to develop yourself to the capacity of selling any bad product political candidate...most of this generation youths are are superficial and casual in the.matter of politics , nevertheless,you will see them comment on the matter they have little or no clue about....

Now, 2027 is approaching, the same people who always cook political propaganda will also repeat the same again about so many people in numbers will fall for it ....

Categorical, I can tell you that Obi Peter is an epitome of IPoB , Igbo agenda and Biafra ...and all the Igbo people know about this ..there is nothing great about him except to really establish what Nnmadi Azilwe couldn't have the opportunity to do achieve during the first republic and what Ojukwu couldn't achieve during and after the civil war...and you know that Obi Peter is a political son of Ojukwu ...and Ojukwu is a godson to Azikwe ...so, if Obi becomes the president of this country, he will fulfill all what his ancestors were unable to fulfil during their lifetime...and this might not generally benefit all the non-igbo tribe..and this is true ....his antecedents as the governor of Anambra state attested to my comments...where he deported non-Anambra state indigene and employed only a native of Anambra state...and this is why he cannot take position for anything.... because most of what he supposed to say is against his Igbo principles and agenda...so, he kept on giving double words at different forums and kept contradicting himself ...he kept on changing bodily colours like a chameleon and sometime speak stupidly...you observed atiku doesn't have any concerns about all those issues in public forum...the only issue i have against Atiku is that he is corrupt and he will maintain status quo about this normal Fulani superemacy and he is also a Fulani like Buhari. ...
So, if you are a non-igbo , some of these agenda might not work towards your favour if Obi Peter become elected..and now , that you know what Obi Peter stands for will you still keep shouting in support of him ?

Wisdom is key....

Good luck....

He's very shallow for that comment. Obviously, he is shortsighted and can't see the bigger picture.

The coastal road will bring in way more tourism than just one business. Imagine how many coastal businesses will spring up along the whole coast including international standard hotels and other investments.

turmacs:
This country is a joke. And the funniest part is that some set of people will be happy with all these demolitions, thinking they're doing a certain tribe, not knowing they're doing themselve. Go on twitter, you'll see some people cheering that misplaced priority of a project, saying Igbos should go to their region and invest, they don't want Igbos investment in Lagos bla, bla, bla. But what they don't know is that other investors who are not Igbos are also watching and taking notes.

I just they laugh those people because by the time they realise what they doing to themselves, I'll be like when Zimbabweans began chasing white people and their investments out of their lands in the 1980's thinking they were doing the oyinbos, only for the country to suffer from one of the worst economic crisis known to mankind a few years later


Lastly as a SS babe, this is for those of you saying "God bless people of SS & SW", deceiving yourselves, if Nigerian divides today and for some reason, SS are not able to get their own country, We would rather go with the Igbos than join ourselves with the same corrupt people that have been responsible for our sufferings and the sufferings of Nigeria at large since 1960. Make una continue to dey deceive unaselves, we know our true friends and know our true enemies.

Shalom ✌️

1. The road will connect all the 7 ports in Nigeria together

2. The road will serve as alternative to lagos-ibadan expreway.

3. All major cities in South West and South South will be connected together.

4. The 700 kilometer road is not entirely new as there many federal roads within it so it served as way of repairing the bad federal roads

5. The coastal road will have rail, this will assist the new refineries to easily move their products.

Kenochi:
This is a very good initiative by the Federal Government,it shows that they are really ready to walk their talk.And as for the compensation,be sure that it is only those who have perfected their titles that are entitled to any type of compensation
This is why I keep telling property owners that it is not enough to buy a property,you must make sure you do your Survey,Get a Deed of Assignment, Governor's Consent or Certificate of Occupancy

I don't think you read what you posted there. Aguyi Ironsi created 4 provinces. Northern provinces, Eastern, Western and mid-west provinces. He never abolish resources control of those province. kindly read to understand what is the bone of contention here.

gidgiddy:
I read what Reno Omokiri said about Decree 34, Decree 8 and the Aburi accord, and wonder why this guy keeps pushing out false narratives? Is he such a poor student of Nigerian history or is this deliberate?

Reno Omokri said that Ironsi abrogated Regional rule, seized the resources of the Regions with Decree 34, the same old lie that has been told for decades. Why cant Reno Google Decree 34 and read what is in there? There were 4 Regions when Ironsi came in, the same 4 Regions were there the day he was killed, so which Region(s) did Ironsi abrogate? Decree 34 was nothing more than a civil service decree, at no time did Ironsi tamper with the boundaries of the 4 Regions that existed at the time, nor did he deny them resource control

If Reno wants to know who really abrogated Regional rule in Nigeria, let him Google Gowons Decree 14 that abolished all 4 Regions Nigeria had,and created 12 states in their stead, as well as Decree 15 that ended resource control of the Regions

The Reno Omokiri pitifully tried to defend Gowon over the Aburi accord, claiming that Gowon had to renege on the Aburi agreement because Ojukwu announced the agreement first, rather than let Gowon do it. Has this Reno guy lost his senses? When you sign an agreement, it becomes binding, who announced the agreement first is irrelevant

Ojukwu signed an agreement in front of the President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, the three other military Governors of the time also signed, but the reason Reno is giving why Gowon could not implement what was signed was that on return to Nigeria, Ojukwu announced the agreement first?

Reno Omokri is a laughable character

BabaRamota1980:
Yoruba.

Not only did Western Region educate its own people, the Yorubas, it also educated minorities belonging in non-Yoruba ethnic class, including the Anioma Ibos.

None of its peers, Eastern Region or Northern Region educated its minorities.

People migrated out of East and North and relocated to find quality education in Yorubaland.

Fact!

Did Igbos kill millions of your kinsmen to force you to stay in One NIG?


Did Igbos force u to fight a war to remain In NIG?

Spot on. The ibos forced Nigeria on us but now cry foul because the ineffectual buffoon lost...

gidgiddy:
I used to like his analysis of the security situation in the country until he supported the declaration of IPOB as a terrorist group despite the group being unarmed at the time and touching nobody. He urged the federal government to use full military might on IPOB. But when killer herdsmen were massacaring people all over Nigeria that same year, he urged the federal to use dialogue. I lost all respect for him then.

After the proscription of IPOB and the security situation got much worse, as some us predicted it would, Colonel Stan-Labo then decanted and urged the federal government to release and dialogue with Nnamdi Kanu, but the damage had already been done

epainos:
By smuggling weapons into the country? Dey play. By ordering closer of a state every Mondays?

Terrorists are brianwashed that they are right and others are wrong. You are exactly like the herdmen and bomo haram. You are killing people...and that's self defence to you. Lol.

Don't worry...carry guns with them...one day...dem go waste you.. I don't discuss with terrorists and their supporters. When you are dropped 6 feet below, we shall see who needs medication for his/her ignorance.

Though a brilliant mind, he was stubborn and quick tempered growing up. He would not have lasted a day in business with those attributes.

thesicilian:
He's not lying. I read about him years ago in the book Emeka by Frederick Forsyth. He talked about how Ojukwu was honest and modest almost to a fault, and was driven to declare war because he felt he had no choice based on how the Igbos were being treated especially in the North. What I'll never forget most about that book was how Ojukwu was in a position of power in the military, directly responsible for procurement of weapons and equipment for the Nigerian Army, and Ojukwu was one of the very few people who chose to actually use that money for what it was budgeted for, instead of embezzling. It's ironic that it was those same weapons and equipment that were used against the Biafrans in the civil war, and had he embezzled most of the money like most army personnel do, there's no way the Nigerian Army would have defeated the Biafrans.

lekbel09:
yorubas were not interested in the war initially until biafra decided to attack lagos which provoked massive recruitment of yorubas into the army it is awell known fact that yorubas fought on biafran side

Kukutenla:
Good one by Atiku and his team.
I'm sure he was able to expose this rot due to his knowledge of Tinubu as a man who enjoys shady dealings.

Umahi ought to be ashamed of himself. He's fast turning out to be the Amaechi of this administration.

It's obvious Atiku is playing very vibrant opposition on this matter. The project is shrouded in corruption and what is more shocking is the claim that the project will take 8 years (a total lifespan of a possible two- term Tinubu presidency) to complete. Anyone can easily see that it's a lie and there's a huge possibility the project will be used to settle friends and cronies and then handed over to a northern govt who will waste no time in abandoning it just like the Kano to Abuja road and the Maradi rail has been abandoned since this new administration took over

Ikechuob:
Then explain to me why my family was affected with the 20 pounds saga then oh history distorter. I'll be waiting.

Considering Asaba was not among the Biafra and my family lived in Lagos prior to the Biafra war, none changed their money to Biafra pounds. Therefore, history rewriter, explain to me why my grandmother couldn't take it her husband's own money from the bank despite she had evidence it belongs to her husband, instead she received 20 pounds. I'll be waiting for that answer. Thank you.

Sleek P, I am not here to apportion blame to anyone as that will veer off the course of this topic, which is Ejoor's views.

Please read his account with a neutral mind and tell me how many holes you can find. Unlike you, I am not going to blame Awolowo or even Gowon, because they did what they felt was in their best interest during war time. Am I condoning their tactics ? Hell no, but thats another topic.

I have read many books on the war and I know enough to know what the truth looks like. My Uncle Smart was a Major who died in Nsukka sector. His younger brother, De Martin was a 2nd Lt, a real combact soldier who fought all over the place. He was among those that made it back from Ore on foot (more than 300 KM) when Banjo abandoned his men. Was among the last Biafran troops to pull out of Calabar. Was holed up at SPC Calabar for six days with a few men with his LMG to cover the retreat of other troops holding back  the Federal advance, returning fire for fire, ripping  federal troops apart and watching his men fall by their guns.

I Had many Uncles that came back from the north before Biafra was declared having lost all their wealth. How can you possibly justify the killing of hundreds of thousands of easterners just because Five eastern soldiers led a coup which had at least two Yorubas as well ?

May all those who are in agreement that innocent people deserved to be killed because of the acts  of their kinsmen, meet the same fate when someone from their ethnic group goes on a misguided adventure.

Have you ever read about what happened to Eastern officers and passengers at Kano Airport before Biafra ? Let me school you a little bit son; Men were rounded up by their colleagues and shot dead in the presence of foreigners. Eastern passengers suffered the same fate on that day. It was open season on easterners following Ironsi's overthrow and Gowon looked the other way.

You said to let it go. Face has already let go. Most Igbos have let go and moved on. Most Nigerians have not and derive pleasure in opening up old wounds just to hurt other people. This Issue is very sensitive to me and other Igbos but you guys just wont let us be.

Why do you guys act like this ? Is it because you failed to humiliate us as you planned when you declared war on us ? Is it because you are upset that your £20 could not achieve what your hunger strategy could not achieve ? Or is it because, the man you thought you'd kicked down is still standing.

You set higher standards for us in every thing and you think its fair ? All we want at this point is the right to be treated with respect just like we treat you with respect.

FACE:
Blatant shameless liar. "Ojukwu's father made the Brits leave Nigerian Army" See hin mouth. It is on record that Ojukwu helped foil the Jan 1966 Coup.

Igbo people were annoyed that they did not have power and wanted to grab power, but they contacted you and the man (Gowon) whose people they wanted grab power from to help them. Tell that to the birds dickhead.

Ironsi was supportive of the coup and the best he could do was send Gowon on a course to London to pave way for the plotters, when he could have have easily summoned your raw behind, detained you and relieved your stupid arse of any post you had if he felt you were a stumbling block Swine !!!

Silly old fool. The Igbo people have never wanted to seize control of Nigeria and never declared a war on Nigeria. We only declared an independent state of Biafra when your inept Nigerian govt failed to protect the people of eastern origin and your Gowon in turn declared a war on Biafra and cast the first stone of the war.

The easterners stood their ground, fought bravely, refused to hand an easy victory to Gowon, won major battles against Nigerian Army, made their own weapons, refined their own petrol (a feat peace time One Nigeria is unable to achieve) and never lacked petrol throughout the war.

We lost but not in shame . We are as proud to have fought the war as the Brits are proud of defeating Hitler only that we lost. That the Ashanties lost to the Brits does not mean that the Brits do not acknowledge their bravery and that the Ashanties shouldn't have fought for their land. We have taken our defeat straight on the chin like men and have moved on.

I do not blame Gowon for declaring war on Biafra. He did what he did as a head of state who did not want the country to fall apart under his watch. I do blame him for not taking actions that would have averted the civil war i.e guaranteeing the safety of easterners in the north, just like Ojukwu guaranteed the safe passage of Northerners in the east.

Lives were lost during the war, but the war had to be fought. Igbos lost short term, but are winners in the long run as they have picked themselves up and forged ahead with their lives.

Easterners earned their respect (fear ?) against all odds and both sides will think twice before fighting another war . Although northerners still go on a bloodfest rampage from time to time, they never will they attempt it in the scale as seen in 1966 in connivance with the govt.

This thread is about some of the scorched earth policies the Nigerian state instigated against the igbo Nation and how it it backfiring.


Policy ;The deliberate exclusion of the igbos from commanding Posts of the Military.
Backfire ; Today the Military is a big Joke , most parts of the Nations are under the grip of militancy, insurgency , banditry,Ritual killing , 1 million boys etc.

Policy ;The deliberate removal of igbo speaking territories to other states .
Backfire; Today Igbo is a major language in the Niger Delta with igbo speaking Governors and first ladies in 2 core Niger delta states.

Policy; The exclusion of South East from the National Rail way Program funded with borrowed loans from China
Backfire ; The sovereignty of some sections of the Country has been signed off to a New super power triggering fears of another economic colonization of certain parts of the country

Policy; The unjustified closure of the Enugu International Airport with an unsual very long maintenance Period.
Backfire ; The South East was shielded from the Covid Pandemic helping the region to prepare and get ready to reduce the casualties , the south east has least casualty figures.

policy; Policy of political Marginalization of the Igbos 5% and 97% policy
Backfire; the 5%ters are now Ministers in Foreign First world Countries, Parliamentarians, Supreme court judges, First class scholars, first class bankers, firstclass Engineers, business leaders etc

Policy; The imposition of 20 pounds policy for the Bank deposits igbos had before the war
Backfire; The 20 pounds was a turning point for the igbo nation as igbos had to look up to God and look inwards ,today Igbo seat on the chair of most successful companies in Nigeria from telcos , banks to indigenous oil companies and ICT companies , at present igbos control the retail, banking and ICT business in Nigeria

The influential African news journal, The Africa Report, in its Wednesday, November 23, 2022 issue, carried a story under the headline, ‘Nigeria 2023: Outrage as children litter voter register 100 days to election’. The report said: “Less than 100 days to the highly anticipated elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has published the full list of the over 93.5 million voters that will elect Nigeria’s next President. However, the presence of children on the voter register has raised questions over the credibility of next year’s poll.”
This came after another report quoted the INEC Chairman Prof Mamood Yakubu as saying: “After a rigorous cleaning-up of the data using the Automated Biometric Identification System, a total of 2, 780, 756 (22.6 per cent) were identified as ineligible registrants and invalidated from the record, among them double/multiple registrants, underage persons and outright fake registrations that fail to meet our business rules. Consequently, the number of valid registrations (post-ABIS) is 9, 518, 188.”
But the Chairman’s statement on the matter contradicted INEC statement on the issue of underage voters through its spokesman Festus Okoye on September 12, 2022 which stated that the correction affected only those who registered between June 2021 and January 2022, and not about under-aged voters. The INEC spokesman words: “On the issue of underage voters, this Commission published the entire registered voters in Nigeria in various local government areas and all the registration areas.”
The inconsistencies in the position of the Election Management Body (EMB) has raised fresh fears about how underage voters can be an issue in the 2023 polls despite the reforms INEC has carried out in the conduct of elections in Nigeria with a view to eliminating rigging through the use of technology.
Let us recall that the National President of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Baba Usman-Ngelzarma, was quoted in a January report as boasting that MACBAN had about 16 million members as voters ahead of the February presidential election. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Usman-Ngelzarma statement can only come out of Nigeria where religion and ethnicity—the two fundamental factors that define the character and identity of a modern nation-state but which are excluded from the nation’s census data. I remember Eze Festus Odimegwu in 2013 who as Chairman of National Population Commission (NPC) stated that “no census has been credible in Nigeria since 1863.”
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and then Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State immediately demanded Odimegwu’s removal and no Southern Christian or political leader stood out in his defense except then-Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor who spoke through its Public Relations Officer in the 19 Northern States and Abuja, Mr. Sunday Oibe. Kwankwaso ridiculed Odimegwu then when he said the former Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Breweries “had consumed too much of his product [beer] to be capable of conducting census.”
It is valid to argue that northern elites have carefully and ingeniously plotted their way to beef up the voting strength (and population figures) of their region through underage voter registration and that enabled the North-West to overtake the South-West which had the highest voting strength as of the 1993 elections.
Of course everyone knows that this was aimed at giving them the much needed advantage during elections.
Meanwhile the onus lies on INEC to explain to Nigerians why the voters registration in Kano, Jigawa, Borno, Yobe and Zamfara states should not be declared spurious and therefore invalid based on the following indices of moral and technical judgments founded on the history of voter manipulation and spurious exaggeration by these northern states.
The first instance was the votes by the six geopolitical zones in the 1979 presidential election with the total votes of 16, 846, 633 which came in the following order of numerical strength:

South-West — 4, 354, 417
North-West — 3, 926, 545
South-East — 2, 362, 393
North-East — 2, 348, 789
South-South — 2, 018, 565
North-Central — 1, 825, 236

The foregoing shows that the South-West topped the voters table while Kano State, which, at that time, included the present Kano and Jigawa States, had a total voting strength of 1, 195, 136, slightly ahead of Lagos State with 828, 414 votes.

The foregoing shows that the South-West topped the voters table while Kano State, which, at that time, included the present Kano and Jigawa States, had a total voting strength of 1, 195, 136, slightly ahead of Lagos State with 828, 414 votes.
The second instance was the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election result which remains the most credible election in Nigeria and conducted through the Option A4 method with 14, 440, 003 votes cast and distributed in the following order of numerical strength


South-West — 3, 561, 519
South-South — 2, 564, 965
North-West — 2, 478, 525
North-Central — 2,320,130
North-East — 2,109,984
South-East — 1, 44,880

The South-West still maintained its voting superiority and North-West taking the third place. Lagos State alone had 1, 033, 397 votes; while Kano State had total votes of 324, 428 and Jigawa State 228, 388. Strikingly, one of the presidential candidates in that election, Alhaji Tofa, hailed from Kano yet the state could not muster total votes of 350, 000 and Jigawa from which it was carved out could not equally make up 250, 000 votes. These are the states now turning out millions of voters.
The third instance is the 1999 presidential election in with total votes of 29, 848, 441 cast, but which ushered in the present political dispensation and witnessed the gradual alleged manipulation of the northern Muslim voting population to ‘correct’ the embarrassing revelation of the June 12, 1993 election, although with Lagos still maintaining the lead with total votes of 1, 751, 981. However, the South-West had now been allegedly manipulated to the second place with the Muslim North-West taking the lead from its distant third place in the previous presidential election in the following order:

North-West — 5, 569, 470
South-West — 5,519,189
South-South — 5, 431, 427
North-East — 4, 964, 780
North-Central — 4, 936, 867
South-East — 3, 287, 097

Kano geometrically rose to 904, 713 votes and Jigawa to 548, 596 votes, yet the total votes of both states could not meet up with the votes of Lagos. But the most phenomenal geometrical figure came from Borno State which produced higher figure than Kano’s votes of 915, 975 and Katsina State which produced 1, 193, 397 votes.
The fourth instance was the 2015 presidential election which produced 28, 587, 564 votes; and it turned out that this was an oligarchic war against then-President Goodluck Jonathan and the poll subsequently became the point of what many people believe to be the institutionalization of voter population fraud with gross impunity. I call it gross impunity because it was the first time underage children were allegedly registered as voters and voted against the law with daring impunity. This alleged underage child-voter impunity subsequently produced the following voter-statistics in favor of the North-West:

North-West — 8, 505, 577
South-West — 7, 068, 792
South-South — 5, 168, 330
North-Central — 4,159,083
North-East — 3,672,321
South-East — 2,701,745

REGIONS…
North-West — 24, 099, 310
North-Central — 21, 306, 187
South-South — 14, 450, 271
North-East — 13, 478, 291
South-West — 12, 342, 739
South-East — 10, 626, 240

STATES…
Lagos State — 7, 155, 920
Kano State — 6, 026, 850
Jigawa State — 1, 828, 455
Borno State — 2, 514, 228
Yobe — 1, 365, 913
Zamfara — 1, 717, 128

What is clear from this analysis is that as of the 1993 elections, South-West was leading North-West with almost one million votes (South-West — 4, 354, 417
North-West — 3, 926, 545) but just 30 years after, the situation has not only reversed, the North-West is leading South-West with nearly 12 million votes (North-West — 24, 099, 310, South-West — 12, 342, 739). Was this made possible by underage voters? The outcome of the 2023 elections will tell if INEC’s claim that underage voters have been removed from the voters register with the reforms the electoral body has undertaken and the technology it has introduced into the voting process.

1. Did Biafra lose the War based on Obasanjo's or yorubas military prowess or the formidable forces of Britain which sent Miliatry arsenal enough to wipe out Nigeria 3 times against Biafra , or the Soviet Union which was the most powerful technology/military power as the time sending MIGs,Kalanishkovs and other harware or the Arab world led by Egypt . it would be right for you to know why Biafra lost and that Biafra did not looses against Yoruba whose higest military office ws second in command to ironsi
2. you talked about rule of Law and how yorubas follow rule of law to the letter , if that was so how come there was operation wetie in yourba land which contravenes every rule of law and this led to a break down of law and order and the declaration of a state of emergency in the western region. If Yorubas follow rule of Law then Abiola would not be coup sponsor for 1983 coup and rule of Law would not be when you are hold the short end of the stick.

3. MKO did not hold Nigeria Hostage , rather Nigeria held him hostage for 5 years until he died after Abacha.

4. 1. Northern General imprisoned Abiola (the field Marshall of yoruba land ),OBJ the Yoruba only Head of state ,Adisa,Diya vice president and Olanrewaju and other numerous Officers ( which i can provide if you want it ) .
If Goodluck Jonathan was a Yoruba man he would probaly be serving his 5th year imprisonment with Ogomudia ,Owoye Azazi and all Ijaw Generals for plannining a coup he does not know anything about . And that by every standard is not obeying rule of law. this has happened to 2 yoruba genrals (genrals in rank) Ogundipe and Diya , the same thing almost Happened to Obasanjo in 1976 after the Regime of Murtala Mohammed was overthrown but OBJ was Saved by T.Y Danjuma who insisted he be allowed to take over .

5.from my reading and Experience living and working all over Nigeria Emirship is a symbol of Fulani control and domain All the Emirs in the whole Nigeria (except Emir of Bauchi) are all Fulani and decendants to the founder of the Sokoto Caliphate "Usman Dan Fodio" that there is an Emir in Illorin means the Fulanis control the Rulership of Illorin .
when the British Produced the Governor General of Nigeria , it meant the considered Nigeria their Colony.
6. Joseph case does not arise here , Joseph went to prison as a slave and not as a general in country , Please show me any other tribe that has had all their generals sent to prison by a single General or anyother general shitting and pissing in his pants before a Major
