---- The groups that were represented at the summit included the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), the Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF), the Oodua Foundation, Afenifere, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), the Coalition of Yoruba Autonomy (COYA), the Oodua Democratic Coalition (ODC), the Ominira Yoruba Apapo, and the Agbekoya Organisation. ---- When serious issues are on the table serious minded people will show up and discuss the issues. I hope those shouting Biafra Biafra from their rooms,...
GEJ claimed that powerful Northerners were supporting Boko haram and frustrating the FG's war on Boko haram. The FG under GEJ went further to claim that the US was frustrating the war on boko haram. He was called a weak leader who could not arrest the sponsors while others claimed he was the person sponsoring boko haram. Now, Nigeria Army under President Buhari have repeated the same thing about powerful Northern elders and Western nations using...
When some of us warned that GEJ contesting the 2011 presidential election (not to talk of the 2015 presidential election) was wrong and that it would hurt the Igbos (who gave him massive support) more that it would hurt even his own people we were called names. I remember being called pro North, Yorubanized Igbo man, pro Islam etc by mostly ignorant and unintelligent people who couldn't see beyond their noses. Now that the damage has...
He may not be perfect, he may not be the best but he is honest about his views and positions on issues unlike overwhelming majority of his supporters who are simply put, chronic liars and dangerous propagandists!!! Each time President Buhari speaks you get to hear something different, sometimes radically different from what his supporters and APC people have been trying to deceive Nigerians with. Let President Buhari engage Nigerians more, we are tired of all...
Some years ago I posted an update on facebook concerning President Buhari when he it was reported that he was ejected by his landlord in Abuja because he could not pay rent.I talked about how a former military head of state could not afford to pay rent in a country where some LGA chairmen have several houses and some state governors have houses in Abuja and even outside Nigeria.I saw the development then as evidence that...
Each time I try to update the campaign promises (92 of them were captured -http://nicaprom.com/promises/profile_promises.php?name=Gen-Muhammed-Buhari-%28Rtd%29&id=30) made by PMB I run into problems because only an uncommon miracle would make any Nigerian president achieve 30% fulfillment of these political campaign promises.PMB rode to the presidency based on his integrity both real and perceived and in my opinion that remains his strongest asset and it is in the president's best interest to protect and defend his integrity.If these...
Biafra Republic existed between 1967 and 1970 This period was when the people of the then Eastern region were forced to secede from Nigeria since the lives of the people from the region could not be guaranteed and protected by the government of Nigeria. Massacres and pogroms were carried out with either connivance or active support of the security forces outside the then Eastern region who did next to nothing to protect innocent civilians especially the...
Some of my Northern friends have defended the lopsided appointments made by President Buhari thus far as they talk about competence and qualification as the yardsticks.I hope the people saying this understand the fact that it is easier to defend a Nigeria with Southerners holding over 90% of the appointments and positions based on academic qualifications and competence than it is to defend a Nigeria with Northerners holding up to 65% of the appointments and positions...
So Biafra is the new cash cow Asari is banking on to remain in the news while hoping for a business opportunity since he cannot talk about marginalization of the Niger Delta after GEJ served as vice president, acting president and president, right? And some Igbo people are excited that Asari is now more Biafran than Niger Deltan? How about a Niger Delta Republic or Kalabari Republic? Abi, hin no like am like that? The fact...
