we need a permanent solution to this triibal issues... and am not suggestion separation.. infact, am against it, we are strong as one.. God help us

How can we solve the tribal roars permanently, if not to separate? This tribal thing is embedded right inside our heads and can't be cured , except you are suggesting total brain wipe. We are all hausa , igbo, yoruba before we are Nigeria, and that is the problem.

I don't reply bonkers... Have a nice day

Tanoid is your father as educated as Buhari?GMB is a graduate of NDA and US army war college.Tell us the uni your father graduated from! GMB is known to be honest,sincere,he say things the way they are,not necessarily to impress his supporters or depress his opposers. Tell us one legacy ur father is known for.

If GMB had been sincere like he is now without minding the impress his supporters during his campaign.... I doubt if he will have a single vote during his election

1966 coup was never an Ibo coup.. Below are the names of the coup plotters..

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu(Delta Igbo)
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of "Why we struck"
3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba)
4. Maj. Ifeajuna(Igbo)
5. Lt. Fola Oyewole(Yoruba) author of "The reluctant rebel"
6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esean)
7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/ Fulani)
8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba)
9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali)
10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt)
11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Urhobo)
12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw)
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Hausa)
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv).

Looking at the above list... tell me how did 1966 coup become an ibo planned coup? That an ibo politician wasn't killed doesn't make it an ibo coup.

sweetgala:
My people say that "ori to ba ri oba fin ni oba nge" the head that insults the king is ripe for beheading, when ojukwu with support of the south east igbo decided to risk it all and declared war on the federal republic of Niger , you know what happened after. When Hitler decided to attack central Europe, Poland ,France and Austria after the war you see what happened to Germany and what they lost.

It is on record that Awolowo and Gowon ensured that the lands and property belonging to the Igbo which had not been looted in the SW, middle belt and North were returned to them, however the case of the SS is different. The ones with monies outside SE came back to meet their money there but the ones with their monies in FG banks in the SE rightly lost it all that was their gamble and the FG could not protect that.

The OP has decided to omit one fact. When the Igbo retired from the north and SW and went to the SE , they withdrew all their monies from the banks and took it with them , banks were raided by Biafra soldiers in areas close to SE and lodgement books were destroyed and lost with it proof of the account or balance. A federal law was passed that any perosn who could produce a dated lodgement book or proof of monies in a bank had to be given his/her money, those who make a claim can only be given 20 naira where such proof is absent ; which makes logical sense.

Go and read bro.. The Easter Nigeria never declared war on Nigeria. It was Nigeria that declared war on Easter Nigeria. After all negotiation fail, and the pogram continued in the North, The Eastern Nigeria declared itself independence, and the Nigeria declare war on them.

The ibos never retire from North and south, they were being massacred especially in the North. Only those who escaped make it to the east. So where did you get the fact that the Ibos lined up in the bank to withdraw their money b4 leaving for east?

Jian Feng, a man reportedly from northern China, sued and divorced his wife after she had a son who was
“incredibly ugly” and did not resemble either parent. Initially Feng sued for adultery, but it later came to light that his wife had spent $100,000 on plastic surgery before she met him.

“I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first son, we began having marital issues. Our son was
incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me,” Feng said

Feng then sued his wife, who has not been named, for marrying under false pretenses, since he had no knowledge of these surgeries before they wed. The judge reportedly agreed, and awarded Feng $120,000 from his wife.

Created by Anthony Finley (1790-1840), American Cartographer. “A beautiful example of Finley’s important 1827 map of Africa. This map predates the explosion of African exploration that occurred in the mid-19th century. Much of the interior remains unknown. The Ptolemaic Mountains of the Moon are drawn stretching across the central part of the continent with the suggestions that they are the source of several branches of the Nile. Several speculative courses are drawn for the Niger River, one of which joins it to the Nile, another of which flows south of the Mountains of the Moon into the Congo, and yet another of which, correctly, bends southwards to empty into the Bight of Biafra.
Identifies numerous African tribes throughout, including the Pomba, Jaga, Tbook, Tuareg, Tibboos/Iboos, Bambara, and others. Also identifies a land of Cannibals in Mozambique.

You must be a comedian... I guess if someone is aggressively coming toward you with a knife , you will just watch and see if he will actually butcher you.

Really, common sense isn't common

As far as the united Nation is involved and Nigeria remains a member, the Nigeria Government has no power and will not confiscate the properties of biafrans if the country is finally divided. Nigeria will not be the first neither will it be the last to divide. Property owners will surely be compensated adequately. Go and read about other countries that have divided and see the how things were done.

Police and extra-judicial killings are like bread and butter

phyllosilicate:
How would you know the North protested, so far there were many Igbos would you care?

Pls What concerns "Igbos" with the topic at hand? You claim the North protested against the confab nomination and jonathan overlooked their protest. Can you post the source of your claim?

phyllosilicate:
Prior to the commencement of the confab, I read several protest from the North that they were not fairly represented, Jonathan turned a blind eye. Can you imagine the 3 regions in the north were represented by 189 people, while the 3 regions of the south were represented by 303 delegates.

Can you post a news link of the protest by the North.... Stop saying what you don't know. The North never protested.

Abugab:
Biafra is a fantasy

Oduduwa and Arewa are fantasies

CreampieAngela:
your hatred for PMB is making You go bananas .... So Murtala Mohammed is now 'a good Northerner'? The same Murtala whom your biafran parents refer to as Buthcer Mohammed. The same Murtala who was the brain behind the July '66 counter coup that saw the massacre of several Igbos.

Two Battalions in Murtala's Division burnt down the Onitsha Market on the 12th Oct '67 in their first attempt at taking the town but according to you, Murtala is now a good Northerner just because you want to spite PMB. Shame

As far as your dumb brain is concern, everybody who doesn't like buhari is an igbo man. Oneday, the word Igbo will chock you . Poo-pie

….promises brighter future for Nigeria.
By Levinus Nwabughiogu
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in
Yaunde, Republic of Cameroon said to Nigerians to
accept the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the oil-rich Bakassi penisular to Cameroon in good faith.

The president spoke during an interactive session
with Nigerians residing in Cameroon. Buhari who left Abuja for Yaunde yesterday to hold talks with President Paul Biya on measures to end insurgency in the countries within the Lake Chad Basin commission said this to some Nigerians resident in Cameroon who had complained that the inhuman treatment by the country’s authorities since
the ICJ’s ruling.

“Since Nigeria allowed the case to go to court and we lost, we have to abide by it” he said But the president assured them of adequate protection.

He also stated that the future of the country was
bright even as he expressed optimism in the midst of the economic crisis the country was facing.
He said: “Fellow Compatriots, permit me to say, as I
have done during my inauguration on 29th May 2015, I am committed towards bringing positive change to Nigeria and I will do everything possible to achieve that. Despite the numerous challenges confronting us, the future of our country is very bright.

“You all know very well that your fellow Nigerians are resilient, hardworking and patriotic. These qualities have always seen us through our most difficult national challenges and they will do so now.
“However, this government’s job is to see that we
unite and work together for the common good of our country.

“The recent economic downturn occasioned by the
fall in oil prices at the global market, which
drastically affects our national revenue, is a serious
cause of concern to us.”

According to him, his government was taken
measures to diversify the economy, even as he
pledged total war on corruption.

“As a responsible government, we intend to continue to build a stable economy through prudent fiscal policies and providing favorable environment for both domestic and foreign investments. The aim is to guarantee growth and development in all the sectors of our economy, cut waste, ensure fairness and equal opportunities.”

“We are determined to end this callousness against
our innocent citizens. The defense of the territorial
integrity of Nigeria and the protection of lives and
properties of Nigerians and all those who live in the
country are our top priorities. We shall explore all
reasonable options to enable us to bring this
rebellion to an end.

“We are also working with all our neighbors,
Cameroon inclusive and other friendly countries, so
that together we can fight and stand firmly against all forms of terror and trans-border crimes.

“Whereas, many successes have been recorded in
routing the insurgents and limiting their activities, the war is not over yet.” He noted

President Buhari however urged the people to be
mindful of Boko Haram activities, stressing the
understating between Cameroon and Nigeria.

“We must also support our gallant security and
military personnel as they fight to defend our
country.

“That is why we maintain these high level contacts
with the government here and the reason why I am
here. Nigeria and Cameroon share so much in
common and the potential exists for even greater
cooperation between our two countries.

“I am delighted to hear of the peaceful relations that
exist between you and your Cameroonian hosts. I am very proud of our Nigerian Diaspora; wherever I go I meet extraordinary Nigerians doing great things and contributing positively to developments of their host countries.

“I urge you to continue to project the image of our
dear country well, through your hard work and good conduct in order to promote good neighborliness.

“I also urge you to continue to respect the laws and
customs and policies of your host country. I urge you to continue to live in peace with your brother and sister Cameroonians.” He stated

Earlier in his remarks, a Nigerian living in Cameroon, Paul Okocha told the President that Nigerian companies were contributing a lot to the economy of the country.

He pleaded the president to help liberalize
international trade between both countries by
completing a link road.

This is even as another resident, Ebere Valentine
congratulated the President on his victory at the 2015 Presidential election, expressing hope that Nigeria would occupy its pride of place under Buhari’s government.

“Your footprints have manifested in Nigeria and
beyond since you became the President of Nigeria”,
he said

May God help us

Nonsense ! I don't believe this news . Will believe when I read it from a reliable source.

This is how they posted a video of a young girl been stoned to death on somalia, and claim that its the boko boys stoning the chibok girls to dead. All in the aim of driving traffic to their blogs.

Even the news headline is so unprofessional .

End time

ENUGU—Enugu cleric, Catholic Priest and founder of Enugu Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka,
yesterday, celebrated his 20th priesthood anniversary, describing it as victory over enemies of
truth and blackmailers. This came just as President
Muhammadu Buhari hailed the patriotic spirit of Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka saying that ”Father Mbaka is a great priest who was not afraid to speak truth to
power, even at the cost of his own life or being hated by leaders in power.”

It should be re-called that Mbaka’s message of
change, which he delivered before the March 28
presidential election, attracted criticisms, especially
from the supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Speaking at the Christ the King Parish, Enugu, during his 20th anniversary mass, attended by thousands of worshippers, including the wife of the Enugu State Governor, Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, the cleric said despite all the attacks against him, God continued to protect him because he remained on the side of the truth.

He declared: “I am not tired after 20 years, 20 years
of good health; 20 years of miracles from God; 20
years of hard apostolic work; 20 years in the hand of God.

“There was a time they blackmailed me; they were
saying such things like ‘Mbaka why? Mbaka this,
Mbaka that’, but I have remained in the hand of God.”

He, however, said he had forgiven his attackers,
praying God to “forgive all those who have fought us on the course of this ministry and bless those who have stood behind us.”

In a special message, entitled, ’20-point agenda,’ Fr.
Mbaka said he was praying for President Buhari “that God will protect him so that enemies will not destroy him. I also pray for Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi so that God will not allow occultic men to steal his vision.”

In a brief chat with journalists, the spokesman of the ministry, Maximus Ugwuoke said blackmail and
unnecessary criticisms had rather strengthened the
cleric.

According to him: “Those who are saying he should
stay out of politics are misguided. It is part of the role of priests. So, they are merely trying to cow him down but I can tell you that Fr. Mbaka is not
somebody to be intimidated; the more they do this,
the more he is strengthened.

“In these past years, you can see how God had
vindicated him; you can see his prophetic message
before the general elections; at a time, he was
repeating that prophecy even in the face of threat to
his life. So, today, we are celebrating victory against
enemies of truth.”

President Buhari in a statement by a Senior aide on
Media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, President
Buhari said “Father Mbaka is a great priest who was
not afraid to speak truth to power, even at the cost of his own life or being hated by leaders in power.”

According to the statement, “Mbaka was a
remarkable example that religious leaders are the
conscience and moral compass of the society.”
The statement further stated that the priest “rose to
the occasion to add his voice in support of good
governance and identify with ordinary Nigerians in
the face of despair and uncertain future.”
It also explained that adding “one’s voice to make
one’s country better has nothing to do with politics”,
and that as the “conscience of the nation”, religious
leaders cannot afford to be aloof or indifferent to the miseries of the people.”

According to the statement, President said “though
honest opinions attract hostility from leaders
detached from reality”, history would be kind to
Father Mbaka for courageously speaking truth to
power, even at great risks.

President Buhari, who said he is “overwhelmed by
Mbaka’s sincerity and patriotism” prayed to God to
grant the Priest more good health, long life and
wisdom in the service of humanity, adding that he is a fountain of inspiration to all Nigerians.

Awka – THE pan Igbo socio-cultural organization,
Ohaneze Ndigbo, said yesterday that it was not
surprised at the way the appointments of President
Muhammadu Buhari were going, insisting that it had shown the president’s deep rooted hatred for
the Igbo nation.

Anambra State president of Ohaneze, Dr. Chris
Eluemuno, in an interview at the state –owned
Anambra Broadcasting Service Television in Awka,
said the situation would still have been the same
even if the entire Igbo voted for him.

He said: “I said it during the campaigns that General
Buhari does not like Igbo people and it is happening
now with all the appointments he has so far made
since he came into office on May 29, 2015
“He appointed five service chiefs and there is
no Igbo man, even though Igbo have qualified people to occupy the positions.

“His party has completed the selection of principal
officers in the national assembly and despite the fact that the speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara made case to apply the federal character in allocating the offices, the president jettisoned it through his intervention and left Igbo APC lawmakers out.

“He also exhibited his vindictiveness during his
recent visit to the United States of America, USA,
when he travelled with only governors from his party, leaving out governors from the opposition parties.

“He was also quoted as saying that he would favour
those who voted for him and our position is that
there is no way the president should expect all
Nigerians to vote for him in the last presidential
election.That statement contradicted Buhari’s earlier stand that he belonged to everybody and belonged to nobody.”

Eluemuno, who is also the chairman of chairmen of
Ohaneze in the seven Igbo speaking states, argued
that Buhari had no reason to discriminate against
the Igbo because Igbonation played prominent roles in the development of Nigeria and should therefore not be discriminated against in the scheme of things.

According to him, apart from the Secretary to the
Government of Federation, SGF, the remaining
appointments are ministers and board members,
which constitutionally must go to all the 36 states of
the federation, adding that appointing an Igbo minister would not therefore be a favour to
them.

On the president’s threat to probe only the Jonathan
administration, Eluemuno said it would amount to
witch hunt if he limited it to the immediate past
administration, advising that the probe should start
from the PDP civilian administration that began 16
years ago with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who
governed for eight years.

He also advised the President not to jettison the
report of the Constitutional Conference convoked by
former President Goodluck Jonathan, arguing that
the Constitutional Conference report was key to
fighting corruption in Nigeria as it contained
recommendations that could help him succeed in his fight against corruption in the country.

Eluemunor said the president might also be
expecting too much if he thought that he would find
angels to make ministers, stressing that as long as
those he described as the corrupt civil servants were there, the ministers, no matter their background and integrity would still be corrupt.

“He should know that those who corrupt the
ministers are the top civil servants. They are the ones that show the ministers the way once they are sworn in. If he wants to fight corruption in the service, he should start by cleaning up the civil service,” he added.

He called on the Igbos to brace up to the challenge
posed to them by the APC- led federal government.

Omo is cameroon Crazy fish

The difference between a girl and a woman has little
or nothing to do with age. There are females above
30years who still have a "girl" behavioural attitudes,
and there are females below 20years who behave
like a "woman" (not like a girl).
Below are some differences between a dating/
marrying a girl and dating a woman.

1. A girl wants attention from men. The showing of
cleavage and posting of half Unclad or seductive
photos on social network are all attributes of a girl.
She does all this thrashing things to get attention
from men.
A woman wants respect , she carries herself in a
way that commands respect. Her dressings are so
decent and stunning.

2. A GIRL suffers from princess syndrome. She is
interested in what can be done for her. She banks
on a man to be her financial strategy. She can't eat
or take care of herself without a man. A man gives
her everything.
A woman plans to be financially independence, and
if she finally enter into a relationship with a wealthy
man, she considers it as a bonus and not the
expected life line.

3. A girl cannot be bothered with anything domestic
and is proud of the fact that she cannot cook or
clean. They often fix long colorful nails, and having
the believe that a man who truly love her won't let
her do things that will break her 3500naira nails that
she spent 3hrs fixing in a saloon . She always have
this dream of living in a big mansion with plenty of
maids serving her and her family.
A woman understands that being domestic is not a duty, but understands that it is one way of taking care of herself and others. She also understands that in the event she wants to create a family, having a person in the household who can contribute domestically is important.

4. A girl tries to change a man. They often have this
believe that men are like little kids and it's a duty of
a woman to train him to her test. You often see
them comparing their man with their ex.
A woman never tries to change a man, she accepts
him for who he is and will not compare him to her
ex. She knows you are the best and that you cannot
change another person no matter how hard you try.

5. A girl doesn't want to meet their boyfriend's
family or friends, she wants him all to herself. She
wants his every attention to be on her and nobody
else. Always unhappy whenever any of his family
members or friends visits.
A woman would want to know your family and
friends. She knows without them, you would not be
where you are, and who you are today.

6. A girl uses her physical beauty as her currency
and basis of value. A girl may be so used to feeling
validated through her looks and sexuality, that she
uses this as her primary tool to get what she
wants in life.
A woman, knows her worth is beyond her physicality. A woman bases her value on her
intelligence, her strength, her integrity, her values,
her contributions, her humanity.

7. A girl Lacks strong values or boundaries. She
believes whatever you say about her, good or bad.
Girls are often deceived easily by men with sweet
words. She depends wholly on what people say
about her, rather than what she think about herself.
A woman knows exactly who she is no matter what
you say, or don’t say. She has taken the time to
cultivate her values and understand what she want. She know exactly what you want, even before you
make the move for it.

8. A girl never respects her man, except when she
needs or gets something from him. She is so
stubborn and always want to be in control of her
man.
A woman respects her man no matter any
circumstance.

This is good move... And only bold fearless president will do such. All mosques in the northern war part areas in Nigeria ought to shut down. To curtail the spread of the virus, and stop them frm recruiting new members .

We all know most members of the Sec were recruit frm mosques

Some mango head still claim ibos are the problem of Nigeria, but yet they refused to support their agitation to leave Nigeria.

Who is deceiving who ?
