Thank you my brother! You said it all. APC regime is a govt of propaganda.

CodeTemplarr:
Nigerians hardly travel any longer. It is waybilling most are doing now. I wonder what the new roads will achieve. No security on older ones. No power to increase productive output. No health to keep people health and growing. Food is up up up these days and they are busy threatening and confusing us with huge unrealistic figures.

Totally agree with you that the wrong you support today will come back to bite you in the near future.

ClearFlair:
Fix your country. If you support incompetence, the result of that incompetence you supported will be waiting to meet you in front in the near future

So true!

Gjrich:
The Ebonyi Airport serves as a prime example of a white elephant project, characterized by high maintenance costs and low economic returns.

Its lack of viability is exacerbated by the fact that 90% of Ebonyi residents cannot afford air travel.

Instead of prioritizing such costly endeavours, investments in human development and essential infrastructure would propel Ebonyi to become Nigeria's richest state.
Key areas for investment include:

1. Free education (primary to university)
2. Free healthcare in state-run hospitals
3. Vocational training for youths
4. Empowering farmers through sustainable agricultural research and development
5. Agricultural livestock (cattle, goats, pigs, poultry)
6. Crop farming (rice, cassava, palm oil, plantain, banana, mango, oranges, maize, sorghum, cowpea, groundnut oil, cashew, rubber, soybeans, coconut)
7. Essential infrastructure (borehole water in all villages)

Inspiration can be drawn from the Governor of Niger State's initiatives, investing in massive Rice farming.

Currently, Ebonyi indigenes struggle to make ends meet, resorting to street hawking nationwide.
The prioritization of grand projects over people-centred initiatives facilitates the embezzlement of public funds.

Leaders must adopt sustainable, people-focused approaches, avoiding white elephant projects resulting from:

1. Poor planning
2. Inadequate demand assessment
3. Misallocated resources.

It's time for leaders to prioritize the well-being and prosperity of their people.

What is your ethnicity?

DomPerignon:
They made their reasons abundantly clear from the beginning on why they wanted out of Nigeria and it was down to the overbearing arrogance and domineering ibo majority that had cornered everything to themselves both resources wise and job opportunities

Enugu was made the capital of Eastern Nigeria in 1959 but prior to that all resources were being channeled to develop Enugu at the expense of all so-called minority provinces.

A lowly clerk position in the local government in western Caneroun and other provinces like Calabar , PH were reserved for ibos. Land grabbing with the full support of IBO officials and even Ibo magistrates will side with their fellow ibo to legalise ibo land grab was a norm. Even ibo settlers in western cameroun were notoriously hostile in the face of their hosts as was and still is the case where ever you find ibos in Nigeria with the exception of the north which taught them a bitter lesson how to be civil.

Note that it wasn't only western Cameroun that had grown tired of being yoked to you ibos in the British lumped Eastern Nigeria.

The so-called minorities wanted out before independence and were pushing to have their own special region but Zik was able to ensure the British kept them stuck to you out of pure parasitism.

Going back a bit, and you will recall that on the eve of balkanizig Southern Nigeria into Western and Eastern Nigeria, present day peoples of Benue and Taraba were once part of Southern Nigeria but once they learnt that they will be in the sane region with you ibos they demanded that they will rather join northern Nigeria.

Moving forward to post independence Nigeria , the so-called minorities began a renewed aggitarion to leave the old Eastern Nigeria citing marginalization , oppression and suppression by the IBO majority .The minority people of eastern Nigeria were inspired by the peaceful seccesion of Midwest out of the old Western region that did not see any opposition from the majority Yoruba . In Enugu , the situation was the opposite with the IBO super majority doing every dirty trick to stop any motion by representatives of the minorities to call for a referendum. Frustrated at Enugu, the minorities took their plight to the Federal Parliament and had secured the support of Northern ,Western and Midwestern Parliamentarians to grant a referendum for tthe minority people of Eastern Nigeria for the creation of the Calabar -Ogojaa-Ribers region. This was in late 1965 and the matter was to be presented oficially in Parliament after the Christmas break.

The IBO coup of Jan 15, 1966 was to prevent the Federal House from returning back from Christmas break to address the issue of COR region which was the first thing on the docket.



Your greed and foolishness is why everyone hated to be lumped with you and as soon as the British left , everyone wanted nothing to do with you.

Why did Ojukwu declare Biafra ?


It had nothing to do with ibos being slaughtered up north but because Gowon finally freed the minorities from your parasitic grasp through state creation.

Ojukwu went to war to preserve the British drawn colonial borders to continue the parasitic internal colonialism .

Yes o!

Kaycee9242:
Exactly what they said during Buhari time. Yeye people

Just ignore the DULLARD!

Dalohad:
Obidients are bullies, but violent agberoes who killed voters for Tinubu and insensitive tribalistic online bulabanns are your lovey-dovey pontiffs and Pacific doves?

You never talk wetin dey worry you. Continue your selective and self-deceiving hypocrisy masked in fake objectivity.

We know who you are and where you stand.

You said it all!

gidgiddy:
In a system of injustice and oppression, you don't fight for freedom because you are prepared. You fight for freedom because it's the only thing worth fighting for. But every slave sees a freedom fighter as a fool anyway

If there are people fanning the embers of hate and distrust, then it's a good indication that you have no nation. If you had a nation, the unity from that nation would have made it impossible to have any embers to fan.

We are just people brought together by the white man in their colonial project called Nigeria, and Nigeria has long failed, proving the Biafrans right.

What’s your ETHNIC NATIONALITY?

aswani:
I pray that the souls of all the innocent children that died during the war continue to rest in peace.

I pray that all those evil and wicked people, who indulged in a war that they had no resources for, perpetuated it despite knowing they had zero chance of winning and allowed those innocent children to suffer and eventually die continue to stay tortured.

Those currently fanning the embers of distrust and hate amongst Nigerians, because their candidate lost an election, should take heed, hell fire awaits if you don't change your ways.

Real convulsion loading for some people

Ignore this fella as Obi ignores Reno

Bobloco:
The way your bitterness toward Peter Obi is living rent-free in your head, it might as well start paying utilities.

They’ve been doing it since the days of BORO & Wiwa , and always coming out with the short end of the stick.

mrvitalis:
Oga it's politics let South South do what's best for them... If they are ok with Tinubu presidency let them vote him

South South owes South East nothing

Have your ethnic group lost it also?

hatchy:
This people and criminality....

Any tribe that have this "I must make it" mentality is completely finished.
The people of South east needs re orientation because they have lost it.

Sophisticated slowpoke!

Up till Tomorrow, l don’t understand why Awo & Yorubas aligned with North to fight against Ojukwu’s Biafra.

ccoolitempa:
I just don't understand with Yorubas sometimes....what possessed those people to defend people who hate us so much....never never never again....

OLODO RABATA!

Thundafireseun:
Buhari did worse…..

I’m sure if Peter Obi had the same opportunity he would have done same thing too … with the way he has been travelling since 2023 round Nigeria ….

God bless President Tinubu

God bless Nigeria

Totally agree with you!

Brendaniel:
Nigeria is not one, Nigeria has never been one and I don't think it will ever be one, why?

Because we don't share the same ideology - We may not be having this discussion if we were separate countries

OLODO!

PassingShot:
Why do I say this?

1. His mismanagement of the economy and encouraging his appointees, through his silence, to blame it on his predecessor (PMB).
2. His meddling in the Lagos Assembly leadership tussle that resulted in returning a speaker that was validly removed.
3. His undemocratic removal of Rivers state governor and the elected reps there, just to ensure that Wike has the final say. He could, and should have allowed Fubara to be impeached if he could not mediate properly. That would have been democratic and heaven will not fall had Fubara been impeached.
4. The revelation that the NASS members were bribed to support his military-styled removal of a sitting governor - something he had vehemently condemned in the past!
5. His son's involvement in how the country is governed.

I can go on and on. He is becoming a tyrant and he may easily destroy what is left of our democracy.

He is another disappointment. Seems all of them are, sadly so.

How is saying Nigeria is a zoo related to victimization?

alanto:
People from your side always assume Nigeria a zoo and you are stylishly saying the same, then you will cry victimization when other citizens fight back.

How is your post relevant to this topic? Have u won any war? Whose fault is the existence of insurgency?

AndroBlaze:
Yes, you people are the bravest in this country without a doubt. That is why you have won all wars, have no insurgency and have surmounted all hurdles placed in front of you.

Keep it up.

If you check properly, he’s Yoruba. The average Yoruba will cry against evil if he’s at the receiving end. But he will rationalize & defend a worse evil if it benefits him. He is amoral & morally dead.

Jflex07:
where was the evidence of voting? Stop supporting injustice

Trying his best with stolen money after his father & his cronies has pauperized Nigerians

He used and dumped by the born-2-rule Northerners after fulfilling his purpose -- ditto almost all the Yoruba military officers who fought against Biafra.

ScamHunter:
AI gave examples of his petulance:
Yes, Benjamin Adekunle had multiple clashes with authorities during and after the Nigerian Civil War. His outspoken nature, aggressive war tactics, and lack of political diplomacy created friction between him and the military high command. Here are some notable instances:

1. Clashes with Yakubu Gowon (Head of State)

Adekunle frequently complained that his 3rd Marine Commando Division was underfunded and undersupplied compared to other divisions. He publicly accused the Gowon-led government of neglecting his troops despite their frontline role.

His frustration boiled over in interviews where he criticized the government’s handling of the war. This did not sit well with Gowon and other military leaders.

His removal from command in 1969 was seen as a direct result of his open criticisms. He was replaced by Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who went on to take credit for the final phase of the war.


2. Dispute with the Supreme Military Council (SMC)

Adekunle was sidelined from major military decision-making after the war. Unlike other top commanders, he was not given a prominent post or major financial rewards.

He reportedly had issues with senior officers who viewed him as too arrogant and independent-minded. This contributed to his exclusion from the inner circles of power.


3. Clashes with Obasanjo

After Obasanjo took over his command, Adekunle felt betrayed and sidelined.

There were reports that he accused Obasanjo of benefiting from his hard work without acknowledging the sacrifices made by the 3rd Marine Commando.

Their relationship remained strained even after the war, as Obasanjo continued to rise politically while Adekunle faded into the background.


4. Fallout with the Military Establishment

Unlike other officers who transitioned into politics or lucrative business ventures, Adekunle became a forgotten figure.

In later years, he publicly lamented how he had been abandoned, making statements that further alienated him from the military elite.

Final Years

In contrast to generals like Theophilus Danjuma (who became one of Nigeria’s richest men through oil deals), Adekunle struggled financially and lived in relative obscurity until his death in 2014.

He once granted an interview where he expressed disappointment over his treatment by Nigeria, a stark contrast to his battlefield heroics during the war.

What is your ETHNIC NATIONALITY?

oilyngbati:
Vlodomyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine reminds us of Ojukwu of Igbo Biafra in the years 1967-1970, who ignored all advice against fighting an un-winnable war.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo went personally to meet with Ojukwu and advised him against any military confrontation with the federal government, but ojukwu in his nzogbu nzogbu mentality refused to listen and considered Awolowo a nobody.

Some Igbo elders like Chief Mbazuilike Amaechi, Dr. Michael Opara, Zik and the rest warned Ojukwu against that war, but he refused and even placed them under house arrest.

Emmanuel Ifeajuna, in September 1967 advised Ojukwu to surrender because Biafra lacks food, medicine, military equipment and international allies to prosecute the war. Ifeajuna even went on to offer to do the surrendering to the federal side, while ojukwu leaves for exile, but Ojukwu refused and later branded Ifeajuna a saboteur and executed him alongside Victor Banjo. Fast forward 3 years later, after over 3 million lives have been lost, the coward Ojukwu then did that same thing Ifeajuna advised him to do—-went on exile to Ivory Coast in 1970!

Today, in the Ukraine, we have Zelenskyy, stubborn and carried away in his own illusion of thinking he can win Russia. Even with all the NATO support, he has ended up setting Ukraine 100 years back. All over Europe, many Ukrainian young girls are trafficked for prostitution——reminds us of Biafran women in prostitution racketeering…this is what a stubborn leader brings to his people…destruction, death, misery, agony, hopelessness, despair and endless pain!

The Igbo Biafra say they are ready for another war and would allow Namadi cownu and Simon Ekpa plunder them into another un-winnable one. They say even if they loose, they can always recover, after all their fathers bounced back from the last one they lost.
Need I remind this generation of Igbos that their fathers recovered because of the magnanimity of other Nigerians and the Gowon’s mantra “no victor, no vanquished”. Nigerians were good people then, but I can’t say thesame for the present day Nigerians.
Any ethnic group that engages in war with the federal govt and loose, will not have it easy in trying to recover, so peace is the best option. There are more mouths to feed now and everybody eye dey red.

A word is enough for the wise….in war, all is fair. Think about the elderly, disabled, the women and children who are most vulnerable in most crises.

They’re USELESS!

Greenback:
Your darling Buhari worked directly under same Abacha as chairman of PTF and he is known to have truncated democracy in the 1980s but you hypocrites had no problems whatsoever making him president for good 8 years...I am very sure you are ignorant of this 😁😁😁😁

Totally agree with you. Abiola was an insider like them. When u add his popular mandate & his messianic zeal to change Nigeria after witnessing Mandela’s impact during his inauguration, he committed his life to changing Nigeria. I blame the cowardly Yoruba military who chickened out instead coming out with a game plan of forcing Shonekan at gun point to retire Abacha on national TV & install Abiola.

malali:
Babangida was never comfortable having friends that could look him in the face and call him out.
All the people he was comfortable with were "yes men"........
Even till today.....all the people you see around Babangida are "yes men"

MKO Abiola was nobody's "Yes Man"
He was jovial, nice and respectful....but if the candid truth had to be said, MKO Abiola would say it, regardless of whose ox was gored.

If you notice, Mamman Vatsa was also not a yes man
Dele Giwa was a journalist but not a yes man
Abacha was a loyal soldier but not necessarily a yes man

Babangida did not trust Abacha and he also did not trust MKO Abiola
But he trusted Abacha more....thats why he handed over to Abacha.
IBB had acquired so much stolen wealth, he just wanted to spend it in peace and not in exile.

Totally agree with you!

SeverusSnape:
The zombies you're mentioning are like Talibans (Mujahedeen), They don't have a thought process, They've been programmed to believe one thing to the end of their lives.

So much intellectually lazy nonsense online these days.

1. Igbos did not carry out any coup. Nigerian soldiers with a sizeable number of Igbos overthrew the corrupt, violent first republic to save Nigeria from imploding due to the crisis in the Western Region. The plotters were men like Nzeogwu, Ademoyega, Atom Kpera, Fola Oyewole, Ifeajuna etc. Igbo commanders like Ironsi and Ojukwu helped frustrate the coup.

2. Ironsi's Supreme Military Council appointed a special panel to investigate the coup from top to bottom. Gowon was the one in charge of reporting the progress to the council. M.D. Yusuf was in charge of the investigation. Gowon and co were planning their coup so they didn't bother investigating.

3. The only thing I agree with you on is that the Igbos were in charge of everything before the coup. Why would people with everything risk it all to take over what they already control See as you take dribble yourself
