History 601 -- In 1964 the World Bank named Eastern Nigeria the fastest growing regional econ­omy on earth. At the time of this assess­ment, Eastern Nigeria was made up of the present five states of the South East, plus four out of the present six states of the South South. Reason for the assessment was that in 1964, Nigeria was the world’s largest producer and exporter of palm oil and palm kernel. Above 90 per cent...
How can APC ask Ekweremadu to resign so that they can give the post of SFG to an Igbo man? The request is pure nonsense. Let APC give the post to anyone from the North or South West the Igbos don't bloody care!!! They should also exclude the Igbos from ministerial positions under PMB and we won't give a damn! If they want Ekweremadu out they should talk to the Senators and secure 2/3 votes, after...
The recent arrests, prosecution, difficult to meet bail conditions and detentions of politicians including governors should be celebrated and the fact that it is the same EFCC leadership that is doing all these simply means that Lamorde led EFCC didn't feel he had the backing of the former president to go after high profile politicians. The Ibrahim Lamorde I know will go after anyone if the government of the day gives him a free hand to...
---- Federal government of Nigeria orders reinstatement of road blocks across Nigeria ---- "The President never ordered demolition of Road blocks, he was misquoted." - Sambo Dasuki ------------------------------------------------ What then happens to the plan by IG Arase to deploy special highway patrol vehicles based on the initial and widely publicized removal of road blocks nationwide? Shouldn't the president/presidency have a proper information/communication channel where pronouncements, policy statements and announcements made by him can be published for...
Sambo Magaji wrote: Amaechi lol. Afam is a Buharist who temporarily lost his way. ---------- I chose to abandon Buhari 2 months to the last presidential election (February date) for 2 good reasons 1. He was not the same Buhari I campaigned for in 2011 considering the fact that he was depending on the likes of Bola Tinubu and Rotimi Amaechi to become president. My fear was that this was a different man that would be...
I detest any form of independent Igbo nation that includes non Igbos and only ignorant Nigerians keep talking about crude oil outside Igbo land being sought by the Igbos because such people do not know that majority of the oil wells in Nigeria (outside those offshore out there in the Atlantic ocean) are in Igbo lands whether in the present day South East or parts of the Igbo lands in Rivers state for example. Any non...
Timipre Sylva, Fani Kayode, Buruji Kashamu all discharged and acquitted with charges brought against them either dismissed or dropped. Murtala Nyako has returned to Nigeria and nothing against him. Rabiu Kwankwaso is asking the court to prevent EFCC from arresting him. All these either happened or are happening under PMB/APC administration and you still have the audacity to accuse GEJ/PDP of not fighting corruption even when GEJ was using technological innovations to make it difficult for...
If Nigeria can guarantee these things then no one will be calling for any independent Igbo nation or Oodua nation for example. It is either we make this marriage work well or we go our separate ways. It is wrong to threaten, maim or even kill people from certain parts of the country because they are living in your own region and when they begin to call for separation you begin to complain. Nigeria prevented people...
Same way some of our people defended the blind and total support we gave GEJ in 2011 when some of us were pointing out the possible consequences and how Ndigbo will be the greatest losers after GEJ anytime he leaves office and we were told that we would rather support any body or even a goat than to vote for a Northerner is the same way some people are defending this Biafra project that is neither...
