Politics › Re: IBB Defends Executing Childhood Friend, Family Demands Restitution by Vinod007: 2:52pm On Feb 22, 2025

Housing:
He is lying he broadcast the annulment of June 12 election by himself. He addressed the nation that particular evening and pronounced the annulment of the June 12 1993 election. He doesn't want to handover power it was General Sanni Abacha that put his feet down that he must abdicate power. And on the 26tj August 1993 he said 'I am stepping aside"

Thank God for Obasanjo that killed his political ambition when he wanted to contest 2003 presidential election. He IBB masterminded so many killings.

I remembered that day of IBB's announcement cancelling the election. It was done outside his abode in Aso Rock. He looked so drunk on that day, stuttering and swagging. It was on that day that he threatened that they were not only in government but in power. I now wonder why he is exonerating himself from the mess even if there were other accomplices.

You people have started distorting what Babangida wrote. Can't you see that what you intentionally posted to mislead people is an incomplete statement continuing on another page. In what you posted, he was only referring to speculations about the reason for the coup. His answer to that should be on the next page, which you have intentionally hidden(if you have access to it) to create mischief.

So to you these criminals and failures that destroyed Nigeria and made it the joke of a country it is today are leaders?

I really thank God no Igbo man is among them. It goes to show that Igbos have no hand in the destruction of Nigeria and if Nigerians had sense enough, they ought to have gathered and handed over to this Igbo man Igbos are hyping so much to see what he can do.

Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas destroyed Nigeria and made it the joke and failure of a nation it is today, they should be ashamed of themselves and not gathering to celebrate rubbish and lie to themselves to feel good.

You should have read and known what is going on in the setting before you bring in ethnicism; if not, you would not have written this comment. Babangida launched a book where he said 'his hands were tied' during the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election won by MKO Abiola; that he takes responsibility for the action and apologized. In the book, he reeled out names of those who through their activities and court cases contributed to the annulment: names like late Arthur Nzeribe, Clement Apamgbo, Nduka Irabor and others. Are these not Igbo names? Did they not contribute to the destruction of Nigeria? Even IBB has now come out to say that Humphrey Nwosu, the then Electoral Commission Chairman, should have finished announcing the results since he already had them. He said he wondered why he suspended it, because he did not give Nwosu such orders. He said it was the suspension of the results announcement that paved way the more for Nzeribe and his cohorts to get court rulings to annul the election. My brother, no tribe is free from blame in the destruction of Nigeria.

I marvel at how contributors on Nairaland comment on issues; mostly according to their sentiments,thus discarding logic and comprehension. The first question is how many cases on River State were brought to the Supreme Court for adjudication today? There were many cases; such as which faction constitute the right membership of the House of Assembly, who is the authentic Speaker, was the 2024 budget presentation to a 3 or 4 member assembly right or wrong; were taken together. Fubara's counsel withdrew the case because they knew they had no case to present as they already lost all the cases at the lower court. Despite asking for withdrawal, the counsel of 27 members of the house asked for the dismissal of the case as they already filed their various briefs before then. The judges aligned with this and dismissed the case. The implication is that Fubara lost the three cases; all his actions are illegal. The other case has to do with the local government election instituted by APC. The judges reserved judgement on this.

I don't think members of the committee know much about India that they are using as an example of a country retaining her citizens and discouraging them from migrating overseas. Statistics in most countries of the world show that India has the highest number of immigrants. Even for their IT experts, their government is in an agreement with developed countries like UK and some others to export their IT talents to such countries. In UK, there is a special visa channel for Indian IT experts.

Crime › Re: 10 Passengers Kidnapped On Owo-Benin Highway In Ondo by Vinod007: 11:53am On Feb 06, 2025

Konquest:
Gosh! The epicenters of these criminal incidents you are talking about here are Auchi and Esanland in Edo State. Are you sure about this and have the media agencies in Edo State been reporting some of these concerns? NO doubt, the kidnappers are indigenous to that area based off of the relentless kidnappings

I recall going through some Police and intelligence crime statistics (the vicious armed robberies and kidnappings in Ondo State back in the 2010s) and what caught my attention was that interstate armed robbers from Delta State and some from the South East, Edo and Kogi States were responsible for those crimes in the state capital and along the highways leading to Edo and Kogi States.

Small drones with surveillance and attack capabilities have to be urgently deployed right in that geographical areas of Ondo State and the Auchi-Ekpoma road to surreptitiously monitor events and the death penalty has to be enforced by the Governor of Edo State and other States ASAP. Anybody who cannot sign the death warrant has NO business being a Governor. These drones aren't too expensive and do the job of aerial surveillance effectively.
You are not far from the truth. Most of the kidnapping going on in Ondo State and Edo State are carried out by people from Kogi, especially the Ebira, in cahoot with some Fulani. Some locals are also now involved as informants.

All Trump is say is employment and admissions should be merit based. As for the Africans in the US, many of them are very qualified in their vocations. From doctors to nurses, Africans have earn their place in the American society. I am not talking about African Americans oh. Those ones deserve another chapter.

You are getting the meaning of equality and diversity wrong. What Trump is promoting is the opposite of equality and diversity. He is saying there should no longer be equality in employment opportunities and that it is no longer compulsory that diverse group from different colour and culture are given opportunities for employment.

Don't mislead people. In the UK medical apprenticeship scheme, students are attached to a trust, usually a NHS trust as apprentice in a hospital while they also study in a university. The advantage of this is that the burden of school fees payment is removed as the trust Zpays the fees and the student works as apprentice.

Politics › Re: Florence Italy Is Also A Brown Roof City Compared To Ibadan by Vinod007: 6:52pm On Jan 18, 2025

PulaPower:
Of course, no one has ever denied. Ibadan is not a today city! A city that people been building houses for more than 200 years, how did you expect the roof to look like?

Majority of those homes are now ancestral home that even government can’t try it. Amosun of Ogun state tried it a little and they changed it for him..

So it’s no biggy!

Describing Ibadan as a 'brown roof' city depicts the years of civilization in the city. Most of the brown roof areas are ancestral areas while the larger part are modern with modern aesthetics. Some who tend to lampoon Ibadan do not know that the city is even bigger than some of their states. Ibadan shares some semblance with Florence, Italy, as cities of civilization during various era. Florence used to be home to philosophers, scientists,great artists during the Middle Ages; it was a city many around the world rever. Ibadan was the city that heralded Nigeria's civilization. The city had the first television station in Nigeria, the first University in Nigeria, the first stadium in Nigeria, the Cocoa House which was once the tallest building in Nigeria, the first teaching hospital in Nigeria ( which was patronized by the Saudi royal family) and other firsts. Such a city cannot be compared to cities just getting to be known not too long ago

Brutal indeed.. 15 January, 1966 the day Igbo coupists struck..
How did most of them end?.. they were either killed in the July 1966 Northern counter coup, some like Ifeajuna were killed by Ojukwu in defunct biafra, Nzeogwu killed by Federal troops close to Nsukka.
When you draw first blo0d, expect to pay the price.

I read a piece where the Yoruba among them claimed the coup was not an ethnic agenda.. Why then was no Northerner among the coup plotters?. The North I know will never conspire with an Igbo to kill their Premier, instead that Igbo planning such will die first.. but the fo0lish Ademoyega allowed coupists kill the Premier of old Western region Akintola and other top Yorubas in the Military.

I am not an ethnic jingoist but the sad reality is that what played out in the sixties is still repeating itself today. Most Igbo do never agree that they are wrong, they always proof sanctimonious. They are quickly the ones to vilify leaders from other ethnic groups but are always ready to protect their own, especially if they are in a common agenda to do so. They co-opt others, especially some Yorubas who know nothing about the Nigerian history, to vilify their own leaders while protecting their own. This, the core northerners can never do. I do not support leaders who are bad, but while calling them out, do not protect your own while gaslighting others to kill their own.

Nigerians never experienced untold hardship under Obasanjo regime. We only experience it in Tinubu government. Obasanjo policies had a positive impact on the average man on the street unlike your emilokan anti people policies.

I don't know where some of you have this good impression about Chief Olusegun Obasanjo; either you were so young when he was president or you were not versed in his policies. Obasanjo was the first president in the current civilian dispensation who had the opportunity of setting the pace for a better Nigeria. He started well but when over ambition and greed got the better of him, he messed up the whole polity, which we are still suffering the dire consequences till today. He was such an hypocrite that he said he was fighting corruption but was deeply entrenched in it just like the 'chichidodo' in Ayi Kwei Armah's The Beautiful Ones Are Not Yet Born. This was a bird that said it does not eat excrement but eats maggots. Where would it find maggots if not from excrement. Obasanjo was the one who laid the foundation of the corruption in the National Assembly, 'organising do or die election and corrupting INEC. He had the record of superintending over the worst elections in Nigeria in 2003 and 2007. He fraudulently cajoled Nigerians to invest in his Obasanjo library and established the Bell University as a sitting president. How many people can still remember his shareholding in companies, especially the one in which Ndidi Nkeruike was the DG then? What of the several billions of dollars wasted on Turn Around Maintenance of refineries and electricity? Obasanjo failed Nigeria. This is why I usually feel pained whenever he now turned sanctimonious, always seeing bad in all his successors right from Yar'Adua, to Jonathan, to Buhari and now Tinubu. I am not saying these leaders have performed well, but Obasanjo should never be in the position to promote himself as a saint.
