gidgiddy:
What you posted even proves that Ironsi did not abolish the Region. Each Region was a group of provinces and Ironsi appointed a military Governor for each of the 4 groups of provinces or Regions

As I said in the first page, when Ironsi assumed power in January 1966, Nigeria had 4 Regions that had resource control and were financially independent of government

When Ironsi was killed on 29th July 1966, Nigeria still had 4 Regions that had resource control and were financially independent of government

So where did Ironsi abolish the Regions?

And yet I have posted Gowons decree 14 where Gowon abolished the 4 Regions he inherited from Ironsi, created 12 states, and took away resource control

Show the portions of Gowons decree 14 that took away resource control not already taken away by Ironsi' decree 34? I bolded the part that took away control from the states and handed it to the National Military Government.

gidgiddy:
May be you should read the title of the thread well, this about if Ironsi was the one who abolished the 4 Regions Nigeria had in 1966

Forget the 4 and concentrate on Regions. States, Regions or provinces, they mean the same thing. They can be used interchangeably.

General Ironsi abolished Regionalism (which incorporates resource control) with decree 34 of 1966.

If you cannot comprehend the portions I highlighted in my screen shot, let me quote it again reddening the most relevant section.

"For the purpose of administration each group of provinces shall subject to the authority of the Head of the National Military Government, be under the general direction and control of a Military Governor appointed by the Head of the National Military Government;"

gidgiddy:
Now where in what you just cited did Ironsi abolish the 4 Regions Nigeria had in 1966 or take away resource control from the Regions?

Nobody is disputing if Ironsi was a military ruler, and there was no democracy. What is being disputed here is if Ironsi abolished the 4 Regions

If after reading the section I highlighted and you are still asking these questions, then it'd either you are deliberately being unreasonable or you are ignorant on the meaning of regionalism.

Blessedmercy8:
She's a biz woman who deals in interior decor. Some sources said the money was meant for her childrens school fees abroad. She kept the dollars at home so it would be easy for her to make payment when they travel instead of having to source for dollars at the die min which might even have gone up then.

Was she going to carry the money physically abroad to pay her children's school fees in cash? Does she do business in dollars?
Did they catch the house girl red handed in the process of stealing or the found the dollars in her person or belongings while searching. I expect her to Japa to her village if she actually stole that amount of money.

We are yet to hear the house girls side of the story.
The story looks staged.

Agbegbaorogboye:
To my mind, you interpret issues based on the narrative you wish to push.
Let's even accept for a moment Tinubu was indeed born poor but later inherited wealth.
If he was then asked how he made wealth, I think he will first point to his escape from poverty and not inheritance.
Let me make clear to you that even poor people have inheritance as well. But there's a different level of inheritance that translates to wealth.
So if a man points to inheritance as the source of his wealth, I think it stands to reason he sees the inheritance as the major source and not just a contributor as you claimed.
Go and check his previous explanations in other interviews before this one. There's a popular one he gave where he claimed he got over a million dollars while working with Deloitte on Saudi's Aramco account.
That account now conflicts with this new narrative of inheritance.
I hope you can see clearly now.

Tinubu's story changes like a chameleon. Each day another story.
He earlier explained away his wealth by saying he got $1.8 million from working with Deloitte on Saudi's Aramco account as an accountant. (Mind you Tinubu never qualified as an accountant)
So which story are we to believe?

gidgiddy:
Then you better go read Decree 34 well because Ironsi did not touch resource control of the Regions, infact, Ironsi's only budget of 1966 was based on the Region controlling their resources

It was Gowon Decree 14 that took resource control away

Attempting to rewrite history once again. Every so often, you guys come to nairaland to attempt to blame General Gowon for abolishing regionalism instead of General Ironsi whose decree 34 abolished in clear terms regionalism.

It is you who needs to read The Unification Decree No. 34 of 1966 very well.

Read section 1(d) and comprehend it's meaning and implications

abbey621:
Go and read properly, he said it contributed to his wealth, keyword contributed. Abibatu Mogaji owned several lands/properties and most definitely had enough money to mingle with the rich and famous.

Abibatu Mogaji owned several lands/properties but Tinubu said his parents were too poor to send him to school?

Abibatu Mogaji owned several lands/properties but Tinubu went to the US and was surviving by doing mental jobs

Abibatu Mogaji owned several lands/properties but Tinubu's attended a community (public) college (2 years) and a community (pubilc) University (2 years). That's the total record of his academic background.

Tinubu at first said in the past that his parents were too poor to send him to school and now he says that his parents were so rich that they left him with several properties. Which one are we to believe.
Besides, where are the properties? At least we need the address of the properties to verify his new claim.

Slawomirr:
Damnnn niggar
Look at the way she is just shouting bloody thief bloody thief as if say she herself na saint

Why she nor keep the money for bank

I surprised too o What is madam doing with $11,000 in her home, in these times and age? Abi she dey operate bureau de change? To open a domiciliary Account a very easy. Saving money in crypto (USDC) is even easier and more secure. So why risk saving foreign currency in your house. She even lucky say no be "awon boys" that came visiting.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Lol okay. I never said I believe the rumors personally you moronn. I just asked questions. I have seen these pictures before (and yes she still looks like a boy there, or at least a very ugly girl ) but the more important question is why is it suddenly such a bad thing to you if people think she is trans?

Is it now bad or shameful to be trans? I thought you idiots said anyone who discriminated against trans people is bad

You confused liberal dummies keep falling for all our traps.

Michelle looks like a man! That’s my opinion. If you don’t like it then go eat shit fool.

I am shocked you bought that "Michael" turned Mitchell Obama conspiracy theory. And you pride yourself into being ivy league( or its equivalent) level of education. You seem to have bought into every conspiracy theory ever spawn by far right conspiracy theorists from brietbart to QAnon, whose main audience are illiterate and semi illiterate conservatives.

benalvino3:
I think Bill Bar was there to do a job, not drain the swamp with trump. Trump also put swamp creatures over and over again in charge of various authorities.

If Bill Bar was one of them, then it's Trump's fault for not understanding who and who is pant of the problem he says he wanted to solve.

The FBI have done a lot against trump before he was president and after he was president.

They had that laptop and know about hunters dealing with Ukraine and other nations, they remain silent and watch as they impeach trump on it.

Then they come out to tell Facebook just before the election to censor any new misinformation knowing Guiliani has a copy of the hard drive after he was raided.

Then they put up CIA's and other corrupt 3letter orgs to say it was a Russian disinformation. In the debate with trump, Biden was quoting the lies by the FBI and CIA

Republicans cannot do anything if they don't fish out these hacks. Trump tried but he didn't understand what he was up against.

All this are documented facts. CoolUsername has tried, basilico has tried to spread these facts, but it's only when sense enters the head of people they can be able to use it.

Everyboby hates Chris Trump....
But he still hopes to be president.

co787:
I don't need her approval to prosecute her brother whether she and her mother likes it or not the boy will be prosecute and the divorce will still take place

The minute you report to the police, a war will commence between you and her family and between your own family and her family.

They will try to deny the whole thing, they will look for another justification for your 2 year old daughter's broken hymen. I hope you have a medical report. Even with a medical report confirming rape, they would try to put the blame on an anonymous stranger. The whole family and the whole village will support the boy given they are all complicit in covering up for the crime. Who will your wife support?

There is no way your wife will not be implicated. She has to explain to the courts how her daughter was raped serially without her noticing at first.

Which ever way you look at it, your marriage will never be the same again. She will be torn between her loyalty to her people and loyalty you and her daughter. Even if she says she chooses you, she will never be at peace with the marriage. Even your family will never forgive her.

Mindlog:
The boy won't go to prison because he Is a minor but would be committed to a remand home

Yes. But the wife and her mother that were either complicit or criminally negligent and then tried to cover up the crime will be prison bound.

stevups:
It's a family matter.

It's not. Its a criminal matter.
Family matters are civil matters.

SocialJustice:
You can't correct without being abusive? Typical. Common sense couldn't tell you that was a mistake of omission. That the girl is even 2 is more reason this matter should die without further chaos. Let him tell the world that his daughter was raped. The world will remember and taunt her with it until she leaves this earth.

And you call yourself social justice. Shouldn't all perpetrators of this dastardly crime face social justice? Should the 14 year old get away with the serial raping of a 2 year old girl, to be embolden to tape others? Should the heartless mother continue owe more allegiance to her extended family than her nuclear family?

In sane countries the baby would be taken from the woman as she is not fit to be a mother. A caring mother would put the welfare and safety of her baby above all else. She would first report to a doctor for examination and treatment, then to the police to start prosecution. She should informed the husband after taking those steps and suffer the pains and trauma as a family.

I hope the man does not plan on having more babies with her.

Elclamour:
Seriously your wife and her mother is a disgrace to motherhood, womanhood and everything hood.

Covering such a crime against her own toddler, 2 year old for that matter is encouraging the younger brother that "yeah do it again, we will treat her and cover u up, you my brother after all."

If what I read well is true d boy has being raping the girl continuously. Omo your wife is too b blame for not caring for d girl n covering such heinous crime. She just show that she can cover a murderer crime of her brother ( God forbid) if you were the victim.

She isn't fit to b a mother, If nah me it either the boy rape me and join or I kill him ( to hell with sibling if such was to happen), but all I know one person will go to jail.

But anyway I am ashamed of Ur wife as a woman

If I never marry, I for propose to you. I am glad some Nigerians still have a moral compass.

Abeg help me ask those talking forgiveness where the mother was all the while her 14 year old brother was serially raping her 2 year old daughter? A 2 year old should never leave the sight of the mother. Abi she follow another man go and leave her 2 year old unattended to?

pimplucious:
How on earth did you even get to arrest your wife? I smell humiliation and human right abuse in collusion with the police. We know Nigerian police you must have parted with money to get this done. How I’ll you keep someone in detention for a week or more without court order? If I were your wife I bet you that will be the last of such you will do.

Get your wife out of detention, plead with her, go to where the incident happened and get the rightful culprit arrested and not your wife.

That her 2 year old daughter was raped and she did not report to her husband and the police is a crime under any jurisdiction in the world. The act of covering up a crime means she is an accessory after the crime.

Omoapena:
Did I justify his act??


Only saying he wouldn't have known about that if he wasn't molested as well, he's a kid as well as the toddler who needs help...

Believe me, it would have come out -Sooner or later. One day husband would realise that the hymen had been broken before puberty. Furthermore the baby girl will in the future want to fund out how she lost her virginity.

I hate lies with a passion. My wife lying to me in such a serious case is the greatest act of betrayal.

oladipuposadeeq:
she can go to hell with her forgiveness, she ought to have thought about her husband b4 taking such decision so if the child died probably due to bleeding or sumtin she would have shoved it under the carpet.

Abi o. How would she have excused the death of her 2 year old if she died as a result of bleeding?

The one that burst my brain was the word serially. The 2 year old was serially raped.

abrahambest:
Few words. I understand you are hurt. Please give yourself some time. You'll heal. Please do well not to allow this issue break your home. Take care of yourself and your family

There is no home. That the woman can hide such grievous crimes from her husband to protect her extended family shows she valued her extended family above her nuclear family.

Omoapena:
Truth is, the 14 year old boy too must have been molested by someone older than him to make him do such act, if questioned properly, he will give details of his molester...

And how that one concern the guy? So that is justification for raping a two year old girl?

newcommer:

Oh, it's not worth divorcing his wife over. Someone you call your wife covers up the rape of your 2 year old toddler and it's not worth divorcing her.

When is it worth it then? When she cheats, right? It's all about the vagina and your sole access to it, abi?

Some worthless men will throw away their children over vagina. That's how worthless they are.

Gosh, I'm really amazed by comments from so-called adults. it's sad.

I'm out of here

It's not worth divorcing you wife over? Really? My 2 year old innocent daughter? Me I will kill her, her brother, her mother and probably her father too. And then burn down their family house.

I think Christianity along with its attendant hypocrisy has destroyed the Nigerian moral conscience.

InvertedHammer:
/

There is always religious oppression in Nigeria.

Muslims vs Christians.
Christians vs Traditional religion.

And within Christianity, Catholics vs Anglicans vs Pentecostal vs Orisiri them.

Each group only cries out when they are victims. Should the churches or mosques be destroyed if a Christian or Muslim turns out to be a criminal? I don't think any particular religion can be tied to criminality alone. A criminal is a criminal and must be exterminated.

I thought Soludo claimed to be using made in Anambra goods only. How come he is still latching unto a fable imported from Israel?
/

The religion was imported from Rome and not Israel. Israel rejected Jesus, remember?

DarkJeddi:
Religion and high IQ has no business together..
Especially the stupid,nitwit,halfwit and dim-witted African variety of religion..

So it's the equally stupid,nitwit,halfwit and dim-witted European and Middle Eastern variety you prefer.

Abeg help me ask Soludo, what is idolatry? And why is it only idolatry practiced by African traditionalists that he decided to criminalise?

Is idolatry a crime under the Nigerian constitution? I had thought Nigeria is a secular state with inshrined freedom of worship and assembly.
If traditional worshippers commit crimes, they should be prosecuted and punished the de way as pastor rapists and terrorist imams. But to criminalise a religion is crazy.

I thought Soludo was smarter and more expose than this.

Horerku:
The same tinubu who holds colloquium every year suddenly can't express himself? I am not a supporter of tinubu but you guys fighting him are too daft to actually know the right way to attack him. Everything you guys are thinking is just wrong. Cos he definitely can and will do them very well, tinubu is that smart. Think differently if you don't want him to win.

But I doubt y'all can stop him cos y'all thought process too damn slow.

I searched for Tinubu's colloquium speeches and I found the 2021 colloquium of 2021.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO2F5DIG5Sg

Tinubu's speech was fair, but he made some major gaffes. The one I found ridiculous was where he said that anyone who could clean a gun and shoot can repair a tractor. He also said that because you can create a logarithm in computer means you are technically inclined, no no no.

theredaddy:
Which kind mumu talk be this, surprisingly you are so full of market talk, .... i have friends that joined us in 200level using IJMB then, meaning they spent just 2yrs in uni. to get there degree, kini yato ?? oga you are not thinking things thru at all.

Tinubu did not get into Chicago state university with IJMB. Tinubu has presented no evidence of attending secondary (high) school or presented any o/levels results.
According to his revised CV, he did 2 years at Richard Daley Community College, a post secondary school to prepare student to enter university. Sort of like remedial school in Nigeria. The college offers short term certificate programs and free adult education classes for blacks and Hispanics.

You just talk as if, naa robot dey the other end, let me remind you in the 60's up to 80's university were begging youths that show interest with admission, and govt was given job & car to fresh graduate, infact save that bullshit of 289 jamb cutoff for your grandkids. even fastforward to 2022 where every parent want there child to go to school cut off is less 250
When you compare BAT with other main candidate, whether you chose to see it or not, his models and ideology are not just different from what Atiku & obi share they are precedent till-date, and the style of leadership he initiated in lagos can only be found in lagos, no state in Nigeria can boast of continuity which is even pertinent to democracy, progress & development.

I honestly can't understand your long winding diatribe. Even though I am not current with latest JAMB cutoff off marks, I doubt the cut off mark for medicine in Unilag, Ife and Benin would be less than 260. Competitive courses like Law, economics, architecture, medicine, pharmacy and a few others in the main federal universities are usually above 250 on merit. Except the educational standard had fallen beyond my imagination.

favor914:
Quite obvious you don’t have a concrete response, Jagaban is light years ahead of you people, same way the ignorant ones told APC & Tinubu you cannot choose a placeholder?

Light years ahead of who? Tinubu cannot debate my 8 year old daughter. Tinubu is light years ahead of me in dollars and is able to buy anybody. He is attempting to buy Nigeria. Tinubu has zero intellectual capacity. He has never written a book, never even wrote an op-ed. Obasanjo is light years ahead of Tinubu in terms of intellectual capacity.

shegra58:
that's why Tinubu is always ahead because he planned ahead.
His team matter a lot not after he win the election

So we are asked to elect a team and not an individual? Besides, what is the track record of the do called team? What's is the track record of El Rufai in security after 6 years as FCT minister and 8 years as Kaduna governor?

omokab:
you are daft just like your feloows who only good at criticizing . If you have been to hospital where a neurosurgeon was attending to a patient ,they go in group ,he will ask his colleague and the nurse the situation of the patient he's attending to . Despite the fact that he's the head of the team ,he will ask them their own opinion first . If the case is critical he will ask his colleague and even consult his books or Google . A good leader must delegate assignment to his subordinate and bring out ideas from the team.

You already have to be employed as a surgeon before you can head a team to an operation. Same way you have to be elected president before you can assemble a team to govern.

You don't take a team to do your medical exams and definitely don't take a team to answer questions thrown at you during interview to be employed as a surgeon. Like wise you don't take a team to interviews by the electorate who want to elect you for the job of president.

Aufbauh:
Indeed a lot of the opposition supporters are ignorant and some mischievous that's why they attack what the have no capacity to understand.

Tinubu is actually bringing to bear leadership innovation in contemporary era by showcasing the quality of his team through those Q&A session.

Anyone who listen to those that answer the questions will appreciate the depth in quality of what is to come in the Tinubu's administration.

In effect we are going to have a team of president

theredaddy:
Lolzz! all that breakdown for what, when the fact still remains BAT a certified degree holder from an institution rated above any university in Nigeria.

Chicago state university rated above any Nigerian university? You must either be highly ignorant or on some serious shit. University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan all rate above Chicago State University. Bola Tinubu was ashamed of Chicago State University and that was why he said he attended University of Chicago in his 1999 INEC form.
Believe me, you cannot compare a graduate of unilag who completed a 4 year course with someone that completed a two year course in Chicago State University.

If you are in anyway insinuating BAT got admission into an america higher institution without meeting required qualification then let see some of you try it tew, you have cousins or younger ones apply for dem into any foreign institutions and leave the school cert column empty let see the magic

During my time (in the 80s), before Andrew introduced the Japa fever, it was the less brilliant ones who could not gain admission into Nigerian universities that run to US universities. People like me got into Nigerian university with a JAMB score of 289 and 4 As with 2 Cs.
