The South East governors and political leaders are only being irrational, inconsiderate and selfish over their position on Turaki Adamawa picking Peter Obi as his running mate. South East leaders ended their meeting in Enugu with the conclusion that they await the proposed meeting with Presidential Candidate’s @Atiku over the selection of his Running Mate and the non consultation of South East Leaders. - Osita Chidoka Atiku Abubakar intends to become the president of...
You see why history was banned in our schools so that people would not know what happened in the past while being made to believe all the rubbish said about Igbos just to defend and justify the pogrom and killing of millions of Igbo people during the civil war. Written by a Northerner that is tired of defending and sustaining the lies. Every lie comes with an expiry date for sure. Read the following excerpts...
Get serious about fighting corruption by dealing with those with obvious cases of corruption against them. Deal decisively with the armed Fulani herdsmen attacks and counter attacks by locals and ensure people return to their homes. Defeat boko haram for real, not technically defeated or effectively defeated kind of defeat. Ensure Nigerians that have been given bails are released from detention. Sack ministers that have performed woefully. Open up sea ports in other parts of Nigeria...
Can honest people go into politics and keep their integrity intact? In my 4th year in the university I was approached by a politician that wanted to be councillor and he wanted me to contest as a delegate because the delegates would in turn vote and elect the councillor. It was the Option A4 system under late Gen Abacha and on the day of the election of the delegates I found myself contesting against much older...
South South may beg other regions to join them should proper federalism or break up happen once crude oil becomes less attractive because they have no plan B after crude oil. Shell threatened to leave Warri and Warri people said 'make dem go if dem wan go. Na we get the oil. If Shell go another oil company go come'. Well, Shell left Warri and shut down SPDC Warri in 2010. Till today that 'another oil...
Why is it that people that will always try to operate within the law and avoid breaking the law will have the mind to mislead others and urge them to break the law even when they know the consequences of breaking the law? Some of us correctly and rightly cautioned against the way the bail conditions were being made nonsense of and all some of the vocal guys out there could say was that we were...
The deliberate policies the FG put in place to punish and frustrate the Igbo man ended up working in favor of the Igbo man and Igboland even though the Igbo man has been slowed down and economic potential of Igboland not anywhere it should have been. A people that can write national exams and come out tops, have the highest standard of living and are the most hardworking and innovative Nigerians due to obstacles set before...
The average Northern youth is not more comfortable than the average Southern youth in terms of education and standard of living so this is not really about North vs South but about elites vs the masses. Didn't Senators from the South support and pass the North East Development Commission bill in record time? The North play better politics when they want something for themselves. The North Central even went against the core North and told them...
No Igbo man or Igbo group can cajole or blackmail Ndigbo into supporting a Biafra project they can neither defend nor define properly. The current blackmail by some Igbo guys is dead on arrival because the self determination aka Biafra that they have been talking about makes no sense because they cannot even correctly define the people that make up Biafra or the geographical boundaries that make up Biafra hence the plethora of insulting open letters...
