Abeyjide:

SillyMods:
Buhari has achieved more in less than three years than what OBJ and GEJ achieved in more than 13 years.

PMB till 2023.

The dead needs no fallalery, knick-knack, ornaments, gilding nor gewgaw.

The death of one is to remind the living of a compulsory price to be paid.

The mortician should let the glue of dust cum body rest. The posthumous fashion travesty is a risible futile action.
I luv your Grammatical expressions.
I wish I could learn from you.

From my understanding, 'Chidinma' means "God is good"

while 'Chidimma' means "God is good TO ME"

some even bear 'ChiMdinma' meaning, "MY God is good"
or 'ChiMdimma' meaning MY God is good TO ME"

There is no wrong or right spelling, its only wrong when you use a variation for an individual with another variation of the name. I know most bearers are always fast to correct the caller on which particular one they bear despite that fact that the differences are slight.

I am going to just make my observations on this Fulani herdsmen crisis, and then I will keep quiet.

First, the reason why we have all these issues is that Nigerians don’t believe in our Police. If a Fulani herdsman is attacked, he does not report to the Police. He goes to his comrades, who then launch a revenge attack. Likewise , if a farmer gets attacked, he does not go to the police, it is to his fellows, who then launch a reporisal attack, and then we keep on having attack after attack.

Second, I am sorry, but I don’t believe that the farmers are inncoent in this matter. It does not mean that I agree that the Fulanis are justifed in taking the law into their hands (see my above point), but I believe strongly that the farmers are attacking Fulanis and molesting their cows too. And the reason why we don’t hear about this in the media is because the media , like many of my fellow southerners and Christians is interested in an agenda...that thuggish muslims are attacking innocent Christians. Well...when the same innocent christians join the thug muslims in dancing to the same violence is the answer tune, the same media keeps quiet, while people sit down and justify such attacks with terms as ‘the Fulanis have it coming to them’

Indeed, there are people, including HURIWA with this their call for the govt to crush the Fulani. What exactly do they mean? DO they want the Army to start moving into Fulani settlements to kill and destroy, as if we are back in Kenya in the 1950’s when the British did the same to hundreds of innocent Kenyans? Don’t they get it that would only make a bad situation worse. IN 1999, the Army crushed Odi., ten years later there were millitant groups up and down. And in 2009, hundereds of inncoent North Easterners were killed by the Army in the name of Boko Haram, and that made things worse...until corrections were made in strategy by the last govt, and this one. And now, it seems that the same people who rightly condemm the army for forcing innocent Igbos into the muddy river to swim, are now backing measures that at best would lead to anarchy beyond what can be controlled.

Finally, what angers me is that people are not calling on their local govt chairman, their governors, their tribal leaders, etc to sit down and discuss solutions. I mean, once upon a time , Fulanis and farmers did not fight like this. What is provoking the fighting is increase in populaiton. IN 1963, we were less than 60million, now we are 160million. And a large chunk of that populaiton lives in the rural area...and Nigeria has not icnreased in land mass since 1963...and we even lost Bakassi in 2006. I would have expected government and the herdsmen and farmers to develop solutions that would help salvage the situation, and let everyone leave in peace. But , no Nigerians….are interested in playing Tutsis and Hutus. Well, last time that happened 800000 people died. Deaths that were conpletely unecessary….but are happening because Nigerians are not interested in solutins...they want to behave like their acnestors did back in the 17th century. Well...that kind of behaviour is why we got colonised in the first place, and we would have still been a colony if we did not put aside our differences, even for a brief moment to fight for independence.

SO, what am I saying. I just want Nigerians to stop this tale of innocent farmers and brutal thug cattle rearers. Because such talk is going to blow us to another Somalia. Instead...let us start thinking about serious solutions. And no...we don’t need to waste money we don’t have on another confrence. We need to think, and to think and to act with some wisdom.

IN short...we need to get matured.

(Anyone who insults me would be reported to the mods. If you are still sore over the last election, so am I. I am angry that we did not get a new direction for we coutntry., And anyone calling me a Muslim should know that I am a Christian, and I have seen violence , the worst as far back as the 80’s. But I also know that doing the same thing over and over again does not work. We need solutions now)

And all those commenter saying let us finish the Fulani....i say to them...Go ahead....jsut don't come back after fighting another chronic 20 year tribal war that you caused.Same goes for any Fulani justifying attacks on farmers.

Hmmm thank God Jonathan didn't succeed in his plans to make a sitting president remain in office for six consecutive years else Buhari would have still had 4 years can u imagine?

Now I cannot freely speak becos I am afraid of talking (where is my freedom of expression?)

Now I cannot move to the north becos I am afraid of the quit notice (where is my freedom of movement)

Now I cannot marry my Muslim girlfriend because I am Igbo (where is my freedom of association?)

Now I cannot even farm to eat because Fulani will kill me (where is my right to life?)

Buhari has divided this country, he has crippled the powers of the constitution, he has thrown away the rule of law and he has denied me my fundamental human rights that even by typing this I M afraid the mod may ban me

That is why I will vote ATIKU come 2019

He is educated
He is not violent
He is not a religious fanatic


Thank you

Even the bible says he who breaks the edge the serpent shall bite. I think that a taboo too in christendom

Babalawos:
Because you are a Christian doesn't stop the hardship of life.

Spells, charms and spiritual aids takes away the struggles of life.

Most successful people in life unconsciously or consciously indulge in spells.

Most Christian Church service are filled with spells especially in Catholic Churches and White Garment Churches - the burning of incense and candle. Sprinkling of consecrated water, reciting prayers... Etc

Are you not aware that in 1979, Igbo has only two states, Anambra and Imo whereas Yoruba has four states.
Today Igbo has five states and Yoruba has six states.

Are you not aware that Igbo has six senators in 1979 whereas Yoruba has twelve senators. Today they have fifteen senators whereas we have eighteen senators. Calculate the percentage increase. Let us ask, who has been marginalized?

They will come to us that those Hausas are bad they are not educated, they are Muslims, they want to Islamise Nigeria, they are this and that yet they will go behind to form an alliance with them.
Strategically they have been reducing our economic potential because they have been able to increase their slots in geometric progression and ours is in arithmetic progression. More slots in Federal appointments whereas ours have continued to reduce.

Are you aware that the land mass that makes up the five Eastern states is not up to old Oyo state yet they have been able to create five states out of it.

The first group of people that started trading in spare parts are Yoruba particularly our people from Ijebu-Ode but they have been muscled out of the business.

The idea of Geo-political Zone was mooted by Ojukwu to favour the Igbo. Now through Jonathan conference they said they are being marginalized because they are the only Geo-political zone with five states. Can you imagine that? From two states. That is what I called strategic thinking. Unfortunately, Yorubas that went to that conference agreed with them foolishly particularly afenifere in the likes of Yinka Odumakin, Sen. Adefuye. What a tragedy. Let's ask them, what did Yorubas that attended the conference brought home? The answer is nothing.

The issue of Biafra being championed by Kanu is not by accident, it is a grand design to negotiate for more. Now it is coming out, South East Development commission. Why don't we ask, to be funded by who? If it is agreed they will continue to reduce our economic potential in the Nigerian state.

But, come to think of it why don't you let Biafra be. They are adding no value to us and I can bet you that nobody will miss them. Remember that they fired the first shot that started Nigerian civil war. Killing Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and some notable Yorubas.
Of recent, Chinue Achebe wrote a book "There was a Country". Accusing Awolowo of committing Progrom. What a tragic write up. The question to ask is who started the war? Can I continue to feed my enemy to have more strength to battle me.

Igbo would never change. Domination is in their blood and they can only be satisfied if they have what belongs to you and you have not

Thanks All .. Now let's Blog

Governor Willie Obiano has continued to garner more support as more groups declare their determination to mobilize for him.

Inaugurating the Akpokuedike Fan Club, yesterday at Professor Dora Akunyili Women's Development Centre, Awka, state Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke who spoke onbehalf of Governor Obiano, assured of continued delivery of good governance to State citizenry.

While expressing satisfaction at the level of support already garnered by Governor Obiano, Deputy Governor, Okeke noted that the Governor's commitment to leadership is responsible for such goodwill, saying that it's not out of place as they are exercising their right to a better life, as it is no longer just a matter of party affiliation, but about Governor Obiano's character and commitment to leadership.



Dr Okeke who assured of working with the Fan Club at the right time to mobilize people for the election to ensure Governor Obiano's return, stressed that in order for peace to continue to reign supreme in the State, the Northern part of the State should be allowed to complete a second term of four years.



He further emphasized that the success of the campaign is dependent on them, calling for increased actions towards ensuring that people are well sensitized on the need to come out and vote en masse, as well as protect their votes to make it count.


A former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain and the wife of the former Biafran War lord, Chief Mrs Bianca Ojukwu described the job of the members of the club as important, saying that APGA and its leadership remains a replica and model of late Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu's dream of a region where excellence prevails.


Chief Mrs Ojukwu underlined the need for the APGA dream to be upheld for posterity sake, stressing that those clamoring for the boycott of elections in the State should be well advised to begin such calls in their home State, adding that Governor Obiano should be returned for second term to sustain the dividends of good governance in the State.

She warned that Igbo Youths are the most endangered, as there is no visible federal government presence in terms of infrastructure, adding that APGA remains the voice of Ndi Igbo and should be supported.

Earlier, the President of Akpokuodike Fan Club, Barrister Chika Ekwunugo noted that their base covers the one hundred and seventy seven Communities in the State with a target of five hundred ambassadors in each Town before the end of September, with the only criterion being having a voters card, saying that their drive is engineered by Governor Obiano's approach to governance which had translated to positive revolution in governance.

Also present at the inauguration ceremony were the member representing Njikoka Two Constituency in the State House of Assembly, Dr Pete Ibida, Chairman of Anambra State Housing Development cooperation, Chief Godson Ezenagu, Special Adviser to the Governor on Youth Entrepreneurship and Empowerment, Dr Onyeka Ibezim, among others.
