And the cable could not obtain the name of the "mewly promotef customs officer". Do you think ee are all fools like you?
Verifier indeed!

Before Buhari became president in 2015, very little was kmown of the young man called Nnamdi Kanu. However, 6 years down the line, the Buhari administration have propelled this little known young man to a world renown freedom fighter, that a whole british empire had to send a special envoy to witness his trial. With my little knowledge of histoty, I cannot recall any Nigerian living or dead whose trial attracted a foreign diplomat. Even the treasonable felony trial of Obafemi Awolowo in 1963, was hardly reported outside Nigeria. Also MKO Abiola was under trial before his demise, not even a single envoy from neighbouring Benin came to witness his trial. This tells you how poor diplomacy can create an enigma out of a little known activist. Everything is not gra gra and propaganda. President Buhari and his advicers still have an opportunity to redeem their already battered image. Simply release Nnamdi Kanu, you can put him under house arrest in Abuja, just release him. That is the first step. Then call an enlarged stakeholders' meeting with Igbo leaders, including IPOB and deproscribe IPOB. Listen to their grieviances and attend to their grievances. I am sure that if the Igbos have a sense of belonging in Nigeria, noone would be talking about sessesion. Every Nigerian should feel belonged, then Nigeria can move forward.
If Buhari and APC continues to mismanage this already bad situation, by thinking every problem can be solved by deploying the armed forces, then I am afraid to say that the bulkanisation of Nigeria is a matter of time. A word is enough for the wise.

I said it and I will say it again. Anambra is APC.

Same thing you said about Edo.

kahal29:
There must be something this Andy Uba is doing right that is making people to flock around him.

Leave matter for mattias! We saw more than this in Edo State, even serving commissioners, Ward and LGA chairmen, including chairman of Obaseki ward decamping to APC. It is their way, the results will show who owns Anambra State. By then, you will realize that these are all purchased decamping without grassroot support. Who was APC campaign coordinator in Edo again? Uzodinma ... who is coordinating APC in Anambra, same person. So, why expect any difference! This strategy can only work in the North because the people are led like sheep. It does not work in a society with high level of education like Anambra or most SS and SE states

DeltaFire:
THE BIAFRA PHENOMENON AND WHY IT CAPTURES THE IGNORANT
By Ndidi Uwechue
Sahara Reporters
19th October 2021

Those who continue being under the spell of the word “Biafra” remain ignorant but with an additional adjective, ARROGANT. They are “arrogantly ignorant”.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Let me start by saying that everyone can be called “ignorant” under the right conditions. For example, I know nothing about weaving wool so if told to sit in front of a loom and ordered to get on with it and make a rug, I would not have any idea what to do. Similarly, if made to sit in the cockpit of a plane and told to fly it, I would not be able to. In both these scenarios, I would be “ignorant” of the task I was told to do. However, being a bit intelligent, I would seek advice and training from experts, then decide whether to give up the challenge, or do the required training.

Now holding that thought about what being “ignorant” means, let us examine what I call the “Biafra Phenomenon”. There are several groups most especially among the Igbo people, that attach the word “Biafra” to themselves taken from the horrific civil war of last century. The word “Biafra” was then laid to rest, but brought back to life nearly thirty years later, in 1999 and it gathered a following.

To ordinary people captured by the word “Biafra”, it symbolises freedom and an ideal country. Nevertheless, none of them have sat down to define it, or give it detail. It is simply the cry of a deep longing for freedom – and it is a VALID cry! However, it reveals their “ignorance” because those still crying “Biafra” are those who have not done their research. Those among them who did do some reading found that “Biafra” cannot bring the freedom they seek, so abandoned the word, and have gone for another word: “self-determination”, because they learned from their research what works. They moved from being ignorant, to being informed.

Those who continue being under the spell of the word “Biafra” remain ignorant but with an additional adjective, ARROGANT. They are “arrogantly ignorant”. It is quite easy to come to that conclusion by their manner of seeing this issue. For instance, Igbo is the name of a people and an ethnic nation, handed down over the centuries. In their arrogant ignorance, those captured by “Biafra” with no authority whatsoever shout loudly that Igbos are “Biafrans” and that Igbo land is “Biafra land”. In their arrogance, they somehow seem to believe that if they use social media and media to pour forth the words: “Biafra”, “Biafran” and “Biafra land”, that by magic Igbo Nation will surrender to those words? This Biafra Phenomenon needs to know certain facts that may cure the arrogant ignorance out of many of them. It is these:

1. If Igbos want to change their ethnic name to “Biafran” (or to anything else), it will be done in a PROPER way, using intelligence and democratic processes. Firstly, Igbos would have to agree that there is something wrong or bad with the word “Igbo”. When that consensus is reached, then all those with replacement names would come forward explaining why the word they propose is the best one. Igbos would then vote on it. Once a new name for Igbos has been democratically obtained, it would be officially communicated to the global community.

2. The word “Biafra” is a non-starter when it comes to obtaining self-determination. “Biafra” will NOT WORK and the reasons can be found in several United Nations or International Law documents such as the “Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States”. The word “Biafra” does not meet their four requirements. There is NO DEFINED TERRITORY for “Biafra” as it means different things to different peoples. Therefore, who make up the “permanent population”? This rules out having “government” (in an acceptable sense). That also means it cannot meet the requirement of “capacity to enter into relations with other states”.
The “United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples” (UNDRIP) is another document that shows that using the word “Biafra” when seeking self-determination is futile, and hopeless.

What is certain though is that the leaders of the “Biafra” groups know that they cannot bring freedom to their followers using the word “Biafra”. It is all pure deceit. They seek unmerited power and relevance, together with the money that those captured by “Biafra” can be manipulated to give them. The same goes for journalists and influencers who promote material linking “Biafra” with obtaining freedom. They too seek cheap popularity, and are not concerned to use their positions to spread facts and truth.

What leaders of the “Biafra” groups fear the most is being asked to SHOW EVIDENCE for the freedom work they claim to have done. Ask them for their Strategy and the logic behind it (to prevent them copying the material of others). Ask them for the names of the foreign government officials or United Nations diplomats they claim to have had meetings with. These conmen “Biafra” leaders will evade every request for evidence of their claims. Instead, they will talk about how “Fulani herdsmen are killing us” or how they are a “security outfit”. Essentially, they will try to hide their “Biafra” scamming by pretending to be addressing some existing problems in the community. Alarmingly the “Biafra restoration” group IPOB, in actual fact a street gang, has recently been condemned as a small terrorist group by a Professor and Executive Director of the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore. That is how dangerously far a “Biafra” scam can get to!

The real Biafra of 1967 – 70 civil war is over. It had been promising and was the vehicle used at the time. This newer Biafra Phenomenon is a rogue one, unable to bring self-determination, and that is ruining the positive feelings that old Biafra aroused. “Biafra” has now been bastardised.

It is difficult to reach the arrogantly ignorant, because often it is a waste of time – but it must still be done. The hope though, is that articles like this one would prevent more people from joining their ranks. Any Igbo person or group, or any indigenous persons from the Middle belt or South who is serious about self-determination should avoid the word “Biafra”, for the answer lies with the NINAS Movement that declared a Constitutional Force Majeure on 16th December 2020 to Decommission the imposed and illegitimate 1999 Constitution which hijacks the self-determination of indigenous ethnic nationalities.

This is a new one - Laitheif Mohammad
I saw this on Nairaland and I hvve been laughing. Nigerians are really creative. From minister of masqurades to Liar to Liatheif.
This is somene's grabdfather.

When is Premium Times and her collaborators going to unveil the secrecy around "Genee Papers", the Arabian Connections? We are waiting ooo!

I have a feeling that these lawyers have been lieing to IPOB about these visits. The latest statement sold them out.
And to think of it, I remembered that DSS arrested this guy ... what was the charge again? My thoughts are that this lawyer may be working with DSS to deceive people about the state of things. Or DSS might be blackmailing him to spew whatever, just to buy time thinking the tension would die down.[/b][b]

IF FG refuses to bring Nnamdi Kanu to court on Thursday, know that he may not be alive, or he is, he has been deformed hence, FG would like to continue playing delay tactics.

Terrier99:
Buni is there at the pleasure of the Court. Small injunction, he's gone.

And that signals the end of APC,Those who live in glass houses ...

Jiamed:
The attention of the general public have been brought to an illegal rally scheduled to hold in commemoration of last year's police brutality of 20th October 2020, the criminals have strategized how to highjack the peaceful rally to criminal activities, individuals and cooperate bodies are advice to take precautions ahead-FFk

Thought this guy was a London-trained graduate!

Ambode is like "he that is down need fear no fall".
This was the main reason he was removed in the first instance, because if was still there by now as a second term governor, Tinubu would not be able to control him. If this news is true, then Ambode is about to truncate Tinubu's presidential ambition. Karma is about to raise its urgly head. But a note of caution ... Ambode should be very careful and ensure high security apparatus is provided for him by his sponsors. I am sure he remembers what happened to Funsho Williams

APC is using you people to play chacha. Osinbajo is the lead chacha man. APC will wait till Feb 2022 and start deploying, you know why? For elections. FG no get the money and time for una, you guys are just political pawns
Una mumu too much!

eazzzy1:
SMH this is google bullshit, I live and work in Canada, I was doing the ACCA before I left Nigeria. The first person who told me it was a waste of time was my lecturer. ACCA and ICAN has equal levels in Canada, being that you have to convert them to CPA. No employer in Canada gives a shit about ACCA.

You are totally wrong. ICAN is evaluted as equivalent to Higher Diploma in Canada, quote me. I have not checked recently, but as far back as 2018, ACCA, ACMA were admitted to CPA. Check link https://www.cpaontario.ca/become-a-cpa/why-cpa/internationally-trained-accountants/member-of-accounting-body-outside-canada

As an experienced insider at global and international playing field, I will advise you to focus on ACCA, not because it is more valuable than CFA, but because your brain needs to be highly charged to pass CFA. You could become frustrated in level 2 and 3. On job opportunities, you are sought after with CFA than ACCA. Simple Demand and supply law.
However, if you have such funds for CFA, why not head to LBS for MBA? More prestigious in Nigeria and you can get WES evaluated equivalence in US and Canada. Goodluck.

guy222:
So what should we now say about obaseki and ortom? Very usless set of criminals.

APC can go to court if they have any case against Obaseki and Ortom. Mattawale and others did not win the election. The APC as a party was disqualified and PDP was awarded the results. By joining APC, he and all the legislators technically disqualified themselves. As far as 2015 elections in Zamfara is concerned, APC was not part of it and cannot be in government.

Mattawale is a GONER!!!

They should first revert to 2014 elections wherein Buhari averred that his certificate was with non-existent military board. The court of appeal will obviously dismiss the case and matter will move to Supreme Court where judgement would be delivered between December 22, 2022 to January 20, 2023. Then Jonathan or Atiku would be sworn in.

Alasotele:
Is that why boborisky ass looks big

Na wa oooo! Them think say devil dey give free gift. I can imaging leaking yansh, if he mistake fart, na shege!

Fayemi just knocked himself out of the 2023 equation. His children as with children of other politicians either serve at home or never ever serves, yet he wants to sacrifice poor people children for a clmpromised system.

Tinubu is not contesting ... the posturing is so he can remain relevant to those contesting. The APC candidates to watch are Osinbajo, Fayemi and Orji Kalu.
However, PDP will defeat APC in the polls, winning 20 out of 36 states. PDP will take back Ebonyi, Imo, Kogi, Kwara, Kano, Ogun and Cross River. APC may take Oyo and Sokoto from PDP

And they say kwara beating is islamic training

priscaoge:
Onye si ka oburu, o buru ya I love this song

Egwu Igbo na ato pieces

Ok

The bloid of innocent Nigerians murdered in cold bllod still cries for vengance. APC under the suoervusion of LASG used the army to kill innocent Nigerians and covered up the crime.

Olay he is now Emir of Bandits Emirates

APC - Next Level

Naajjii:
95 percent of Ashawos are Christians . Oloshi ,karuwa

Yet, you will leave them, holy muslim girls to go marry Ifeoma, a prostitute from Anambra. Why Check most of your leaders, they have Christian wives, why Majority of wives of Nigeria governor's are Christians, vecause their exposed muslim husbands are not interested in your fake holiness.

Let us face it. Muslim girls are waywrd, reason their parent lock them up. Locking them inside may look like a good practice, but let the parents die, that is when you realize that Amina is a porn artist. As a young man I had a Fulani muslim girlwhile still in the world and not born again. A friend who had a business within Hausa quarters introduced her to me. A beautiful slim Hadiza. She frequented my house evry Sunday, wears something she says prevents pregnancy. I do not know how she convinces her parents to go out but every Sunday, from 13pm, we were cool. I seved in Bauchi, I know of one particular girl that covers head to toe. You know what, they bang her in the office after 5.00pm every Friday, no missing. Op guess who are the highest prostitutes in Dubai, iranians "There are many Iranian prostitutes in Dubai and some of them stay in the city for a long time. In 2014, Iranian Immigration & Passport Police Office announced that the number of Iranian prostitutes in the UAE is growing." Why do yiu think NYSC deliberately avoid posting muslim girls to the South? Let NYSC start posting muslim girls to the South, not one of them will return home. Freedom is powerful.

So, you are rearing kids and not children What do you call a little goat, do you call them children?

KingOfAmebo:
The question is, Since taxes are ment to cater for the development of a country as obtainable in developed nations, Why would our so called businessmen, politcians and clergymen chose to pay taxes "secretly" to economies of other countries while leaving the country they claim to love impoverished?

Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44, TonyeBarcanista, Midolian, NwaAmaikpe, Officialgarri, Fergie001, SupermodelVicky, Omenka, Modath, Ireneony, Abeg make una help us ask them ooo.

Op, I earn my income in country my business situates and pay taxes there. If I earn income in Nigeria, I pay taxes to FIRS. If my investment in UK makes profit, why should I pay double, one to UK and another to Nigeria? You are not learned enough forthe topic you embarked on
