Politics › Re: Igbo And Yoruba Can Save Nigeria If They Bury The Hatchet For Once. by WIZGUY69(op): 12:37am On Oct 14, 2014
•••••••••••••• The Nigerian Youth Movement was out to
champion the cause of the people and to fight
British Imperialism. Dr. Azikiwe did very well, to
begin with, but he made his first mistake when
he turned the movement to a political party he
subsequently named as NCNC (National Council
of Nigeria and the Cameroons). It did not take
long before former members of the Youth
Movement, who found themselves in the NCNC
began to feel they have been marginalized as
most of the important positions in the party were
taken over by the Ibos. The party became an
Igbo party. Awolowo, a staunch member of the
movement, read the hand writing on the wall. He
quickly moved on to form the “Egbe Omo
Oduduwa” in London which later metamorphosed
into the Action Group, with Ooni Risa Adesoji
Aderemi as its first grand patron.
The NCNC under Azikiwe began to view Awolowo
and the Action Group as competitors and rivals
from that point on. Sardauna Bello around the
same time had created his own party which he
called “Northern People Congress” meaning that
only northerners were welcome to the party.
Sardauna Bello was not as politically-savvy as
Azikiwe and Awolowo, who were more educated
and knew right away that a parliamentary
system like the one Nigeria has embraced could
hardly thrive with a tribal party like the NPC.
Those who called the Action Group the first tribal
party in Nigeria were being disingenuous. The
first tribal party in Nigeria was the NPC. The
mere fact that Azikiwe would agree to form a
coalition government with the NPC could only
mean that Azikiwe and the NCNC’s tolerance
level for tribalism was far more strident than they
were prepared to admit.
Once partisan politics took hold in Nigeria, the
two dominant tribes in the Christian South began
to drift apart. You would have thought the Igbos
and the Yorubas were natural allies because the
Igbos were predominantly Catholic while the
Yorubas were also Christian but with many more
denominations like Catholic, Anglican, Methodists
and Baptist, while some Yorubas in a few Yoruba
cities like Ogbomosho, old Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan,
Oshogbo and Ede, Abeokuta, Ijebu, and Lagos did
embrace Islam. The Igbos and the Yorubas as
Christians should have formed a coalition to rule
Nigeria after independence, but their rivalry
would not permit that. •••

[b]°°° You hardly find any Hausa/Fulani Nigerian in the
Diaspora blazing that kind of trail for other
Nigerians to follow. In my opinion, any Hausa/
Fulani man with that kind of drive and
motivation would have returned home to be
made a federal minister or a state commissioner
or an adviser to the president or state governor,
because northerners, as a rule, don’t have to
work hard to make it in Nigeria. Some of them
claim they are born to rule, because they know
the Igbos would forever side with them to rule
Nigeria knowing the Yorubas and the Igbos don’t
get along and probably never will.
If Omoyele Sowore or Rudolf Okonkwo or Chuck
Odili or Martin Akindana were to be Hausa/
Fulani, they would have been appointed the MD
and CEO of Daily Times or NTA or Minister of
Information in a heartbeat. SaharaReporters has
become a leading source of breaking news on
Nigeria while two of its ace reporters, Rudolf
Okonkwo, otherwise known as Dr. Damages, and
Adeola Fayeun of “Keeping it Real” have become
very popular on YouTube because they are very
good in what they do. Omoyele is doing
something news-worthy in America, producing
new generations of television reporters, camera
men, production managers, moderators, and top-
notch comedians and anchormen, not just for
Nigeria but for many countries in Africa.
I am doing this article because I now know for a
fact that the never ending feud and distrust
between the Igbos and the Yorubas has become
a major obstacle to Nigeria’s progress. If the
two tribes had maintained the collaboration
passed on to them by Herbert Macauley as the
first leader of the Nigerian Youth Movement,
Nigeria would have made so much progress by
now. Herbert Macauley on his death bed had
named Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igbo man, as his
successor. He could have picked a Yoruba man
to succeed him but he wisely chose Azikiwe. Dr.
Azikiwe, a very powerful journalist at the time
and one of the leading pan-Africanists of his era
was a very good choice. °°°°°°°°°°°[/b]
Politics › Igbo And Yoruba Can Save Nigeria If They Bury The Hatchet For Once. by WIZGUY69(op): 12:34am On Oct 14, 2014
If you are a frequent visitor to the African Forum
website pioneered and moderated by a Nigerian
and a Yoruba man named Martin Akindana, you
will clearly see why the endless rivalry between
the Igbos and the Yorubas has now become a
concern for some of us. I give credit to Mr.
Akindana for creating that forum and effectively
using it as a platform for Nigerians to freely
express their views without the need to always
put names to what they write. However, hat
anonymity has afforded many Nigerians the
freedom or the opportunity to criticize and abuse
others using fictitious names and appellations.
Mr. Akindana, the President and CEO of Chat
Afrik and African World Forum, lives in Maryland.
He has been a leader in internet journalism just
like Chuck Odili, the President and CEO of the
Nigeria World website and Omoyele Sowore, the
President and CEO of Sahara Reporters and
Sahara Television based in New York.
Two out of these three distinguished Nigerians
are Yoruba men and the great majority of their
writers and columnists are either Yoruba or Igbo.
The Yorubas and Igbos quite often collaborate in
America to do great things. Their brothers and
sisters back home have so far failed do what
they are doing abroad with great success.
Omoyele and Rudolf Okonkwo are two Nigerians
who have worked together to make
SaharaReporters the envy of social media and
internet journalism in the greatest city in the
world, to borrow a cliché from Dr. Damages of
Sahara Television. I can testify to that as a
volunteer in their organization.

Politics › 850 Soldiers Returning From Liberia To Be Quarantined by WIZGUY69(op): 8:37am On Oct 13, 2014
bout 850 Nigerian soldiers on peacekeeping
mission in Liberia are to be quarantined for 28
days when they return to the country in March
2015.
There are two battalions of the Nigerian Army in
Liberia.
Investigations revealed that soldiers in one of the
battalions were drawn from the 331 Artillery
Regiment, Kontagora.
A source said on Sunday that the Army
personnel were scheduled to return to the
country in January but that their arrival would be
delayed till March 2015.
According to the source, when they arrive in the
country in March 2015, they will be quarantined
in Gwagwalada, Abuja for 28 days before being
allowed to go to their formations.
It was gathered that the soldiers returning from
a similar mission in Sudan were not likely to be
quarantined because Sudan had not recorded
any Ebola case.
The source said that the Army authorities
decided to ensure a painstaking observation of
soldiers returning from Ebola infested countries
because of the danger posed by the disease.
The source said, “You know that our soldiers in
Liberia are to return to the country from two
mission areas, Liberia and Sudan.
“The men of the Nigerian Army Battalion 43, in
Sudan, will arrive in the country in December, and
may be allowed to go their units on arrival in the
country.
“But the arrival of their counterparts from Liberia,
who were initially supposed to arrive in the
country in January, will be delayed. The UN has
not approved their movement so they will leave
Liberia for Nigeria in March.
“Another thing is that even when they arrive in
the country, they will be kept at a military
barracks being built at Gwagwalada for 28 days
before they are released to go to their units.
“I think the authorities are just being careful;
there is no intent to demoralise anybody because
we all know the dangers of this Ebola Virus
Disease.
“With the arrangement, only medical personnel
would be allowed access to them.
“You know that the World Health Organisation
has declared Nigeria Ebola free so all efforts
would be made to keep that status,” the source
said
The Head of the Nigerian Army Medical Corps,
Major-General Obashina Ogunbiyi, had said
during a meeting of infectious diseases experts
under the aegis of the Ebola Treatment Research
Group in Abuja on Thursday that some Nigerian
soldiers had been quarantined in Liberia
following the death of a Sudanese who went to
their camp to pray with them.
The Sudanese was said to have died two days
after the prayer session and was believed to
have died of the EVD.
The Ebola Virus Disease “has landed among our
troops in Liberia after the death of the Sudanese.
The Sudanese entered the troops’ camp to pray
and two days later, he died. All troops were
quarantined this morning (Wednesday)… We
thought we were getting away but Ebola is still
with us. Anyone of those soldiers can come
home on holiday,” Ogunbiyi reportedly said.
Also, the Defence Headquarters said in a tweet
on its twitter handle on Friday that “all
necessary steps are being taken to ensure that
no Nigerian soldier is infected with the deadly
virus while serving in Liberia.”
The DHQ stated further in another tweet that the
troops were quarantined for “preventive purposes
and medical observation following the case of a
Sudanese, a UN employee who was reported to
have manifested … (the EVD).”
It was added that while no Nigerian soldier had
shown symptoms of the disease, they were still
confined to their camp.
Investigations further revealed that the Federal
Government might not send troops to replace the
two battalions in Liberia at the expiration of their
mission.
It was learnt that the remaining two battalions in
Liberia might not be replaced not necessarily
because of the Ebola threat, “which though is a
coincidence, but because the mission is winding
down.”
When our correspondent contacted the Director,
Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen Olajide Laleye,
on the issue of the move to place returning
soldiers from Liberia under observation for 28
days, he said that the Corps Commander
Medical, Maj.- Gen Ogunbiyi, was the most
competent person to speak on the issue.
He advised our correspondent to wait for a
statement from Ogunbiyi on Monday.
Laleye said, “The Corps Commander, Medical
Maj. Gen Ogunbiyi, will make a statement on it
on Monday; you are advised to wait for the
statement as I cannot comment on it.”
The Army spokesman also said issues relating to
the deployment or withdrawal of troops to
Liberia could only be decided at the policy level.
“The decision to send troops to Liberia was
taken at the national level and the decision not
to send troops can only be taken at the strategic
level. I cannot comment on that,” he said.

Kwara: Politicians Buy Human Parts from Me – Ilorin Ritualist Human Parts Dealer





July 25, 2014  

By Demola Akinyemi

ILORIN —The Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, Mr Ambrose Aisabor, yesterday, paraded two suspects, among others, for dealing in human parts.

The third person paraded was said to be an accomplice.

Speaking at the Police Headquarters along Ahmadu Bello Way, Ilorin, the commissioner told newsmen that the two suspects were arrested with human head, leg and hand in Tabira village, Okuta in Baruten Local Government Area of the state.

Aisabor said the suspects, Amos Kareem and Abubakar Ladan, were arrested following a tip-off, stressing that during investigation they confessed to the crime.

One of the suspects, Abubakar Ladan, told Vanguard that Amos Kareem promised to give him a motorcycle if he could find him human head, hand and leg.

He said his desire to own a motorcycle prompted him to go to a burial ground and cut off the human head, leg and hand that were displayed.

Amos Kareem, when asked what he was doing with human parts, said some politicians used to buy the parts from him.

The suspects, however, refused to disclose the identity of politicians who patronise them.

The police also paraded a man said to be an accomplice, having accommodated the suspects in Tabira village, claiming that he never knew that the suspects were involved in such atrocity.

. A self acclaimed man of God with the Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Osun state, Pastor Clement Oyetunde, 35, was paraded by men of the Osun state police command on October 9th after he was found with human skull and other charms at his church premises in the Adeowo area of Modakeke in Osun State.

Tribune reports that In his confession, Oyetunde said: “I am a pastor of the Cherubim and Seraphim, Oke-Itura parish, Adeowo area in Modakeke in Osun state. It was Wasiu that brought the skull to me, We buried it at my backyard. Wasiu left immediately and I don’t know his whereabout, now.

“Few days later, while I was asleep in the house, I hear strange voices singing and drumming in Christian way as if they were worshiping. The tune suddenly changed into traditional song and some invisible spirits started telling me that I should return the skull of Iya-Orun. They told me that the skull buried in my house was Mama Osun’s skull and that the woman was from Ondo in Ondo state.

“They insisted that I must return the skull and the noise was too much for me to bear as my head was swelling.

“That was why I ran out from the house and called for help so that the spirits would not kill me inside the house. It was then that the people in my area gathered and they eventually called the police.”

Nigeria police is currently on the trail of the said Wasiu, who is still at large.
