“The Supreme court did not raise a dead PDP, they only brought out the rotten corpse of a dead PDP for all to smell the bad odour”- Alhaji Lai Muhammed, Minister of Information, Daily Post, 15th July 2017.
I am trying my best to remain magnamonious in victory and to remain restrained but this diaper-wearing, foul-breathed, big-nosed and lying APC Minister of Information has once again brought out the worst in me.
Not only has he told yet another dirty and collosal lie but his deeply offensive and disrespectful characterisation and depiction of our great party the PDP is as inappropiate as it is provocative.
The truth is that it is the APC that are the stinking corpses and the rotting cadavers and not the PDP. They smell like rotting Chinese fish and a Calcutta brothel all rolled into one.
They stink to high heavens and they have fouled up the Nigerian space with their compelling and overwhelming stench and their fecal aroma.
They should bury their heads in shame. They sought to bury the PDP but by the grace and resurrrection power of the Living God we have risen again.
They commited blasphemy and heresy by bestowing divinity and infallibility upon their ailing leader and by deifying themselves.
They came to believe that they were all-seeing, all-knowing and all-powerful. They thought that they were omnicient and omnipresent and they equated their power with that of the God of Heaven.
They sought to turn us into a nation of quislings and slaves. They attempted to cage and impose their will on the Judiciary, the Legislature, the fourth estate of the realm (the media), the civil institutions, the opposition parties and groups and indeed all of their perceived enemies and detractors by the most violent, crude and aggressive means and through the usage of naked tyranny.
They attempted to crush, with an iron fist and steely will, all those who refused to remain silent and continued to opppose them with a lethal display and cocktail of abusive power, impunity, arrogance, brutality and propaganda.
If there were ever such a thing as a civilian dictatorship in Nigeria this was it.
They became blinded by their own delusions yet the bitter truth is that they are nothing more than a rabble-rousing gathering of incompatible bedmates, wandering spirits and vagrant souls.
They are a misguided association of pernicious liars, confirmed Luciferians, practising satanists, accursed corpsocrats, blood-sucking ritualists, unrepentant beasts, godless coprophiliacs, gruesome undertakers and unconscioble necromancers who have a deep-seated and unbreakable covenant with the spirit of death.
They are not a political party but a satanic lodge of devil-worshippers and a cult of death. They bring nothing but death, decay and destruction.
They thrive on death, they feast on death, they wait on death and they worship death. Everything they touch results in death. It is no wonder that they have cut out the heart of our nation and almost killed Nigeria.
It is no surprise that their leader and our President has vanished into thin air for the last 70 days.
It is no wonder that his office is evidently in the grave and that, for the better part of the last two years, he has been attending a prolonged and turbulent meeting in hell, struggling with the angel of death.
What a tragedy these misfits have proved to be and what a terrible affliction and spiritual plague they have brought upon our country.
Yet it does not stop there but rather it gets worse as they become emboldened by their madness and insatiable lust for even more power.
I say this because the APC spokesman, one Bolaji Abdullahi who I gather used to be a PDP Minister until he decamped to the APC, added his own brand of disted verbiage to the discourse when he advised the PDP “not to push their luck too far” by thinking that they will come back to power in 2019.
One question os relevant here: is this faceless, conflicted and strange little man God? Can he tell us what will or will not happen tomorrow with any precision or certainty? Is he led and guided by the Holy Spirit or by his own carnal delusions and lust for everlasting power.
What a cheeky, self-serving, self-righteous and intellectually dishonest young man this is. What a nerve he has.
Let him be warned that the game has just started and now that the PDP has reclaimed its soul again we shall provide the kind of relentless and unspairing opposition that will keep them on their toes and that will give him and his other party grey hairs and sleepless nights.
He mocks those of us that are facing politically-motivated criminal charges and malicious prosecution and he seeks to indict us for, according to him, “failing Nigerians for 17 years”.
He forgets that his mentor, the Senate President, has just been through a similar ordeal and barely escaped it by the skin of his teeth.
He forgets that when they are kicked out of power in 2019 both he and virtually the entire APC Federal Government will most certainly be called to , prosecuted and sent to jail for the monstrous atrocities that they have committed in the last two years.
And if his contention is that the PDP failed Nigerians he, together with virtually all the key stars and players in the APC Federal Government, APC-controlled Senate and amongst the APC state Governors, were part of that failure because virtially all of them used the PDP platform to serve our country in one capacity or other before decamping.
They not only abandoned the PDP ship after benefitting from it and using it to come to national prominence but they also sought to scuttle and destroy it by demonising its key players and actors and using the coercive organs of the state to criminalise, humiliate and attempt to destroy each and everyone of them.
Honestly this little Bolaji Abdullahi should keep his mouth shut and bow his head in shame and he should meditate on the fact that the day of reckoning is surely coming. It is just a question of time.
After 2019 he and his party will pay a heavy price for their evil ways and sheer insolence and the Nigerian people will get to know the bitter truth about how they rigged the 2015 presidential election and who was really behind the mysterious and gruesome death of the INEC Commissioner for Kano and his entire family.
After 2019 the Nigerian people will also get to know the true story about the Chibok girls and those who were really behind their abduction.
They will also get to know who is behind Boko Haram, who sponsored it and what its real purpose is.
They will also get to know the names, nature and identities of the evil cabal that has highjacked the Federal Goveenment and that runs the affairs of our nation.
They will also get to know who gave the order to butcher over 1000 Shiite Muslims and thousands of IPOB youths and bury them in mass graves.
They will also get to know who the forces are behind the Fulani herdsmen and why they unleashed them on the good people of the Middle Belt and the south.
They will also get to know why the Federal Government sat back silently and refused to arrest even one Fulani herdsman after they murdered 808 innocent Christians in the sanctity of their homes last christmas eve and last Christmas day.
They will also get to know why the APC Federal Govenment was hell-bent on implementing a hideous religious and ethnic agenda which has divided Nigerians and pushed us to the very brink of conflict, civil war and disintegration.
They will also get to know what the secret to the gross incompetence of the APC is and where they got the demonic inspiration for their well-documented ineptitude and their chronic failures.
They will also get to know why the so-called “war against corruption” of is subjective, vindictive, malicious and selective.
They will also tell us why they have turned our nation into the joke of the century, the laughing stock of the African continent and a virtual pariah on the international stage in the space of just two years.
They will also tell us why they pamper, protect and encourage merciless and ruthless terrorists and hardened criminals in their ranks.
They will also tell us why they are obsessed with silencing and intimidating of the opposition and indeed all their perceived enemies.
They will also tell us why the wife of their leader and our President saw fit to call Nigerians animals and why she likened our people to “hyenas and jackals”.
And finally they will also tell us why they would not allow their ailing party leader and President to resign even though he vanished into thin air for much of the two years that he was in power and they will tell us about what really incapacitated him and what finally knocked him out.
The truth is that the APC has many questions to answer and in spite of whatever weaknesses the PDP may have had whilst in government they never treated Nigerians with the brutality, impunity and disdain that the APC has done over the last two years.
And most importantly they never brought us to the brink of conflict, civil war and disintegration.
Bolaji Abdullahi and the party he speaks for should prepare themselves for a very rough ride in the next few months because the Nigerian people will call them to and the new PDP will give them hell. Of that they can be rest assured and all the grandstanding and veiled threats in the world cannot stop it.
Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following.
As if the scurrilous commentry of the lying Minister of information and the weak and tepid purring of the APC spokesman were not bad enough, a celebrated and notorious APC mole also felt that he had to jump into the fray and kick the PDP in the teeth as well.
This ugly, uncontrollable and bloodthirsty beast, whose name is not worthy of mention by my lips and who called the PDP all manner of names after we won the case at the Supreme Court, is the biggest fraud and thief that has ever held public office in Nigeria.
When he was in that office he did not build one school or construct one road but instead he put all the money that was made available to him into a fixed deposit and collected a monthly commission.
When he left office he carried all that money with him, left his successor with nothing and left his people in stark poverty. His only legacy and the only thing that he left for them was Boko Haram. Sadly his evil did not stop there. It goes further.
Apart from being a political prostitute who can be used to harm and destroy his own people and his own party by any government in power,
he is also a merciless murderer and a callous psychopath.
He has snuffed out more precious souls and butchered more innocent lives than ANY other politician in the history of Nigeria. That is the beast that is now talking. Truly Nigeria has suffered.
Truly the APC and all their friends, moles, associates and agents need to be swept from power and buried alive in 2019. It is duty for us to do this and to pull our nation back from the brink.
This is solemn promise that we have made and this is an obligation that, by the grace of the Living God, we shall honor and keep.
Anything less would be utterly catastrophic and would plunge our nation into the gates and fires of hell.

Gayigaskia:
This tread is already infected by a lot of idiots above. GEJ was the worst thing that happened to Nigeria fact.

You are the bigger idiot! You will forever remain in perpetual darkness. Just as you prefer darkness to light may your eyes never open. Zombie!

PDP are looters with human face. When they were looting, the price of food stuffs and other commodities were 300℅ lower than the regime of the so called "saints"! Whereas PDP were thieves the APC are armed robbers.
APC are looters with animal face and heart.

ZKOSOSO:
Great...!!
Would have personally brought fire from Heavens on them.

Oshiomole wanted to hand over our beautiful state to his masters up North free of charge.

Next move is to start eliminating Fulanis from our farmlands across the state and Delta.

Presently, akoko-edo is filled up with these filthy wild beasts with AK47 parading our farmlands and claiming ownership.

Pls let's. Do more.

We will. Edo is a no go area for the blood sucking Fulanis/Tuareg herdsmen. We will not give them an inch of Edo land. They are a treacherous guests.
They are like lepers. Give them a handshake, they would want to embrace you.

Total Number for Sekona ward 8 Ede South LG is APC 218 PDP 1,086.
Ooh boy see massacre

OVI75:
Wsh Of The Bills,EDHA or The Purported National Grazing Bill ?

EDHA

GRAZING BILL; which would have;

* Ceded our agricultural lands to the Tuaregs
* Afforded Fulanis arms hoarding facilities
* Make our people vulnerable to foreign invasion
* Render our security system ineffectual
* Put our people in perpetual fear and subjugation,

Have been roundly condemned and jettison through the collective efforts of our people who at the first public hearing loudly spoke against it when;

(1) The Edo Chief Legal officer representing the Edo executive arm trounced the content,

(2) The civil society Reps denounced it in toto and,

(3) The traditional Council ( Reps by Chief Edebiri,the Esogban of Benin)insisted that EDHA should throw the bill to the nearest dustbin.

The grazing bill is dead and dead!

I love my people who rose above the politics of PDP and APC to unite as one to avert this great threat.

Long may our Oba,HRM,Ewuare the second, reign in peace and prosperity...Isee!

princeofpeace22:
They have paid me relax you will get your alert it is because of the public holidays
Normally they supposed to pay before sallah ,the way gej use to do

Fed ministry of health.

Thanks for giving me hope! Its just not easy.

The Acting president and the finance minister must explain to the federal civil servants why their salary of June has still not been paid. Though a few agencies got theirs, majority of the mdas were not paid.
The Muslims celebrated the Sallah without their salary. We were hoping to be paid immediately after the festivity.
We were told sometime last year that all federal workers will get their salary latest 25th of every month.
Please APC and the Acting president, have mercy on the poor workers, whose miserly salary your policies have reduced to nothing. Though the rate of inflation has more than treble for the past 2 years, the salary had remain the same. If you don't know, sir, the workers, and by extension, the masses are not only leaving from hand to mouth, they are scavenging from garbage bins!

naturalman:
These 2 Nigerian states are indirectly operating a well structured/modelled and equipped state police....

They call it different names just to divert the attention of the FG.

The states are::

LAGOS STATE ( Neighborhood security)

ANAMBRA STATE( state vigilantes group).

This state police are scattered across all LGA and every nook and crany of the states..

These are like Boy Scout. Come to most northern states and see state police in action. They call it different names. In Kano for example, they are called Hisbah. These guys can arrest and detain you. They can also prosecute you in a sharia court.

For quite a while now, the loquacious and arrogant general has not been seen or heard from. What is wrong? General Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff, was the poster boy of the Buhari's war against those perceived as waging war against the government. From ipod to the Niger Delta militants and boko haram, Buratai has not disappointed in telling all who cares to listen that he was determined to crush them.
Since the release of Nnamdi Kanu, ipod leader, the resurgent of boko haram, hightened insecurity in the southern states occasioned by the daredevil attacks of the fulani herdsmen, Buharai has become dumb.
Has he been caged by the cabals? Or the suspension of the grass cutter, Babachiar Lawal, has humbled him. Or has he been discreetly suspended for stealing our money to buy houses in Dubai?
Pls somebody tell me. Has our Burantashi failed us?

braimeddy:
Why not compare with population instead of land mass. Wetin u wan use the land take do?

Do you know land mass is one of the criteria for sharing federal allocation?

IN the context of the recent calls for the dismemberment of Nigeria and the series of accusations, counter accusations and name-calling that have followed, it is important to ask who really are those who want Nigerians to go their separate ways. An answer to this question will not be easy to come by but it is neither too difficult nor impossible to know. At least an attempt to find an answer to the question may give us a sense of who are behind the calls and their motivations for fueling the embers of separation. This is in spite of the attempts by the Nigerian state to pretend to be a neutral party in the whole controversy. At least that is what the shuttling around, meeting with traditional rulers and community leaders by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, would suggest. The Vice President has in the last couple of weeks met with leaders from different sections of the country. This was in a bid to diffuse the tension caused by the initial quit notice issued by the Coalition of Northern Groups CNG, to the Igbo to leave the north by October 1, 2017.
But in his latest message to Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari or his minders who made available the Eid Fitr message he delivered in Hausa, may be fueling the embers of disintegration, rather deliberately. Or what is the point in a president who, at his inauguration, boasted that he belonged to nobody but to everybody becoming the one constantly taking provocative steps that call into question his belief in Nigerian unity? Was this an old speech of the president’s presented as new? Or was this a desperate move by the cabal of presidential minders to prove that the president has no speech impairment as is being alleged? If so, then the opposite effect has been achieved. By this speech, Nigerians can confirm that the president can’t be in the best state of health at this time. We all knew the president was ill before now. But he may be worse now or he would not choose to address the nation in Hausa at a time when ethnic tension is at a cutting edge and his deputy is desperately running around to douse it.
Buhari is convalescing in the UK. Could he be standing outside and throwing stones at the people inside? Is he taking advantage of his absence from home, far from the scene of tension to cause trouble back here? And for what purpose would he be doing this? Mischief or plain ignorance? Having told Nigerians of his obligation to those who voted for him at the expense of those who didn’t; having constituted a cabinet that is as exclusive and unrepresentative as it could possibly be, is the President not yet satisfied? Is he bent on bringing down the roof on us all? Or what is the meaning of the kind of insensitivity he appears to relish and exhibits at regular intervals? Why all these attempts at aggravating Nigerians? A want of wisdom, a desire for throwing tantrums or disdain of others? Does the President not feel concerned about the tension around? Or is he content to lead a part as if it is the whole? Which question takes me back to the CNG’s quit notice to the Igbo.
That call has been met with condemnation from many parts of the country and among Nigerians of diverse ethnicities including the north. But as with most things Nigerian, it has been impossible to clear off the maze of ethnic sentiments that have characterised responses to the call. Of course, the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, the group whose activities prompted the quit notice by the CNG, has not been silent. It has been encouraging the Igbo people in the north to move back home as if it has ready-made homes and jobs to settle the returnees into. Indeed, the likely consequences of such capricious call to arm that both the quit notice and the counter responses from IPOB implicate have been overlooked in the ego war between the warring groups and their partisans. Orders and counter orders are just being issued by civilians who have never handled a weapon but pretend to be war generals. They shout out commands and intimidate everyone who does not appear to share their war-mongering into silence. There is hardly any thought for those whose lives they seek to bring disruptions to.
The irony of these calls to arm and for separation is that those making them are the least qualified persons to do so. They are far less likely to bear the brunt of their calls than those they urge into the trenches. Nnamdi Kanu carries a British port and when the heat got too much for him at some point, he or his ers sought concessions for him on of his being a British citizen. They called for the intervention of the British among other western governments and institutions including the United Nations. Not much is known of his immediate family and the likelihood that they reside in the United Kingdom, far from his beloved Biafra, is very high. One of the co-conveners of the CNG, Shettima Yerima who is at the forefront of the Igbo quit notice, is a resident of Lagos. Although now his cover has been blown he wants the world to know that he lives more in Kaduna than in Lagos. Whether Lagos or the UK the point is that he like Kanu is far from the point from where he issues his war cries, which leads one to believe that, like Kanu, he may be hungrier for attention than for war.
The point is that championing ethnic calls in the name of fighting for self-determination has, like kidnapping for ransom and armed robbery, become a very lucrative shortcut to wealth in the wake of military rule. We know this from how stupendously rich many former ethnic warlords and militia leaders have become after taking or threatening to take up arms. But how quickly did they abandon their warring ways for very quiet lifestyles soon after making fortunes from causing mayhem and bloodshed? They have abandoned ship for others hungrier than them to take over. And so do we continue with the constant recycling of ethnic warlords and latter-day Black Scorpions who were not born when the civil war they so blithely recall raged. Many of the internet warriors that wake up chewing curds of war reside abroad. They’ve been cut off from home and separated from the realities of what it means to live in contemporary Nigeria. The less they are taken seriously the better for those they urge to war.

DID YOU KNOW....

That Edo State (17,802 km2) is about the size of Lagos State (3,577km2), Ekiti State (6,353km2) and Osun State (9,251km2) combined?

That Edo State (17,802km2) is bigger than Anambra State (4,844km2), Enugu State (7,161km2) and Imo state (5,530km2) combined?

That Esanland, smallest of Edo State, is the size of Ekiti State and bigger than Imo state (5520km2), Anambra State (4,844km2) or Ebonyi State (5530km2)?

That former Bendel State is almost twice as big as the entire South-East Nigeria (Igboland)? Yet, they are asking for additional state in the SE whereas only Bendel State (Edo and Delta States) is bigger than the whole of South East but we are not asking for the 'national cake'? Why have we been asleep?

Oh you did not know? And you let them call you minority? Now you know.

Wake Up and Declare Your Stand.... Be informed and transformed.....

N'Edo Gha'a Ma.....

Information is POWER!

Minority! Pure and simple. None is big enough to dominate the others. The Ibos will swallow you up and make your tribe extint. Dominance is the reason the south south can not be part of Biafra. Running from a hausa/fulani dominated Nigeria to an ibo dominated Biafra is the bitter pill the south south are not willing to swallow.

Lies from the fertile imagination of the Buhari Media Centre (BMC).

Is it Pa Ojukwu or pmb we are talking about here ?

We are talking of the hypocritical Femi Adesina. We are not talking about the dead or the one that took off to share bed with the queen's husband.

Beverages:
_No source??

Seriously? Borrow Tinubu eye glasses or PMB own.

Can he say the same today to his principal? How power changes a man! Our hypocritical leaders

In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.

For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.

By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.

The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.

Other of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.

Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.

Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu ed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.

As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi? Foremost journalist and media , Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.

Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.

Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of age so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.

*DATE: 7TH JUNE, 2017*

We wish to express our profound gratitude to God for keeping us alive today. Middle Belt Youth Council is extremely concerned about the ongoing regional tension in Nigeria today and we want to make our position clear to the world. In the light of incessant threats to one Nigeria posed by killer-herdsmen, we want to call on good people of Middle Belt to first of all, * the Anti-grazing Bill.* Grazing by Fulani herdsmen on our land has become the major cause of conflicts in our region therefore, we're calling for total ban on open grazing so as to save the lives of our people and their farmlands.
Secondly, it's no longer news that our country Nigeria is facing a daunting challenge of peace and unity but we want to assure the good citizens of Nigeria that we have been a peace-loving people and we'll continue to be. But, in an event one part of the country decides to go away as a separate entity, Middle Belt is also ready to make an independent statement. We want to clarify those who think that the Middle Belt is part of the North: God created everywhere and everyone and He gave it to whom He chooses and Middle Belt is a creation of God and not man (Usman bn Fodio). Therefore, we choose what to use our land for, how to run it and where we want to be. Middle Belt has been a home for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, South-South and the South-West without any form of discrimination against anyone. We've accommodated every Nigerian for centuries now. We deserve respect and commendations. If the Arewa youths are sending away Igbos from their states, we in the Middle Belt are ready to offer them accommodation in our land (which is an inheritance from God and nobody will take it away from us) for them to continue with their life and businesses. Southern Nigeria people should also know that 'Middle Belters' are not northerners and we can never be because we're not d in of culture, language, education, economy, and general lifestyle. The Biafran struggle did not come as an accident but as a result of injustice and unfair treatment to regions, people or religion. Over the years, our federalism has been a fat lie that deprives political rights and freedom of some sections of the country while others benefit immensely from it. Middle Belt has been at the receiving end of this inequitable arrangement in which our people in Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Borno, Southern Kebbi, Adamawa are under constant alienation and annihilation. Therefore, Middle Belt strongly stands for reconstruction of Nigeria not only restructuring. We'll hands with Southern Nigerian people to actualize it. In view of this press statement, we want to urge Middle Belters to remain resolute in making sure we protect our future against the claims by the Hausa/Fulani. More so, for want of peace and unity of dear country Nigeria, we call on Igbo nation to feel at home in the Middle Belt in an event they are sent away from the Arewa land.
God bless Nigeria! God bless the Middle Belt.

*Signed: President, Emma Zopmal*

I laugh in Ikwere! Your Amaechi has become an Ebola. Everybody is avoiding him. Else, why are the seats around him empty? Mr commoner, Amaechi is trying to avoid Wike at the Vip lounge. Understand, the lion slayer was in the lounge that day. Wike had being terrorising Amaechi since their primary school days.

You see this slave! So Buhari has become a business that who does not invest in will not benefit. wonders shall never end. Buhari was elected to manage our commonwealth. We have already created the wealth he is to manage. The south east who are Buhari's 5℅ are part owners of the nation's wealth. It is not fair that they are denied the benefits therefrom because they did not vote for the manager.
Slave Ngige go and hid your head in shame! Surely, you are not a true Igbo man.

Good to know that the APC is acknowledging that Wike was voted into office. In other words Wike election was not rigged as they've been alleging.

Tonye, you fall my hand by this apology. If PDP that everyone is claiming to be dead can score about 37℅ in an election in the President's backyard, those your informants were not wrong. APC days are numbered!

How many of these people took their party's mandate to another party. They mainly switched before contesting. Unlike our politicians that takes their party mandate into another party. Example, how many elected governors, senators or presidents in USA crossed to other party with their seats intact?

Whoever knows Mbaka should pls wake him from his dream. In fact he will be the first mallams will use for suya, if anything happens to their dear Buhari.
After all when the going was good, he was one of Buhari's well paid advisers. Now they have realised he is a fake and a fraud, he is denied access to the president.
Mbaka cry me a river. I dey my beat ooh, oya come beat me!

Extracted from a novel written by Taylor Caldwell, titled The Wide House.

There was a small girl, homeless and wandering, who after many footsore days of travel, and much hunger and loneliness and sadness, came to the high wall of a strange garden. Over the top of that wall she could see the branches of the oddest trees, each leaf shining and polished like metal, and bearing among them round and golden fruit of the most uncommon kind. Birds sat among the leaves, motionless and dreaming, plumaged in yellow and red and blue and purple. The
little girl longed for the fruit, and looked about her for a gate. She found it, sunken in the stones, and with fear, pushed it open. It made no sound. She entered the garden. There was no sound in it at all, and here the sunlight had a faint and gauzy light, as in a dream. Not a leaf fluttered.
There was no breeze. The birds sat in the trees and slept. There were many flowers here, drooping in the dim but mysteriously clear radiance, which was like that hour just before dusk. The little girl saw roses, with rich hanging heads, and rosemary, and phlox and forget-me-nots and pansies, and great lilies with open striped yellow throats, and hanging leaves. Paths wound among the flowers, paths of scattered stones, between which the thick green moss was growing.
The air, drowsy and dreaming, was filled with the most entrancing odours of flowers and shrubs, so heavy that the little girl could hardly breathe. There was the old and bewitched perfume of elderberry blossoms too, sweeter and more swooning than all the others. The little girl wandered down the paths, and looked at the sundials, and was vaguely surprised that, though the light was both soft and trans- parent, the sundials did not show the time. There was no shadow on them. Indeed, there were no shadows at all in this garden.
Everything stood, soundless and breathless, in this garden without time. Every- thing slept. There was no wind, but the elderberry scent came and went in long sweet puffs as if disturbed. Not a bird uttered a cry, or broke the silence with the rustle of a wing.
The little girl came to a pond, sunken in the thick green moss. It was like a round shield of glimmering pewter, and nothing disturbed it, not a ripple or the shadow of fish or the flight of an insect. Two swans, white and still, slept on its surface, which reflected the pale blue sky. Beyond the pond, the trees were thick and dark and ancient, bending their heads and showing their golden fruit, which shone like little yellow suns in the half-light.
And then the little girl was very frightened. She knew that she must leave this spellbound garden at once, and find her way back to the sunken gate and the highway. Perhaps her guardian angel had whispered to her urgent. And then she cried out that she was very tired and thirsty and hungry, and must eat of that golden fruit and rest a little. After that, she would resume her journey, and look for a home*
She climbed the branches of the nearest tree and plucked the fruit, and sank her little white teeth into it. She sat there in the branches, while the strange and beautifully-hued birds slept motionless near her, like fruit, themselves. The fruit was very sweet and juicy and delicious. It tasted like honey and wine, and its flesh was as satisfying as bread.
And below the little girl lay the wide garden of flowers and pond and swans and trees, drifting in a faint and luminous mist like pearl and last sunlight, with the odour of elderberry sweet and swooning on the warm air.
The little girl, satisfied and rested, climbed down the tree and stood beneath it. “ I must go , she said, aloud. She hardly heard her voice, which seemed to drown on the air. And then she became very sleepy, as if overpowered. She sank down on the warm thick moss and slept.
She must not have slept long, or another day had come, for when she awoke, the garden was just the same as she ed. She arose. She looked about her, dreamily. But she had forgotten who she was, and from whence she had come, and where she was going. She ed nothing but the garden, enchanted and timeless, full of sleep.
The little girl lived in the garden for a long time, but she never ed the days, and there were no nights, except for the pearly mist which drifted through the trees. She was very happy, this child in a dream. She ate of the fruit, and slept, and talked to the flowers and the silent swans, and smelled the elderberry. She looked down the tawny throats of the lilies, and stroked the roses, which had no thorns and never faded. She walked over the winding paths, and gazed up at the birds.
And then one day, she found the old sunken gate again. She was very surprised to see it. She did not it. She pushed on it and it opened soundlessly. She stepped out on to the rutted road. She looked behind her. The garden was hardly to be seen, now. The pearly mist had fallen over it like a translucent cloud. And from some- where the little girl heard the wind of Heaven, for the first time in endless ages. It was a loud and thundering sound, and it frightened her.
She wanted to run back into the warm and silent garden, but the gate gently pulled itself from her hand and closed. She put her hands on it and tore frantically at it, but it would not open. She tried to climb it, but it seemed to grow higher and higher, and to be filled with wounding sharp edges.
Finally, she fell down upon the ground, tired out, and memory came back to her, and she wept long and deeply, until she was exhausted.
And then she discovered that she was no longer a child, but a
woman, full-grown.
She got to her feet, and walked away down the highway. And it was winter now, cold and raw, with snow flying and the trees blasted and black, and not a bird to be seen.She never did find any one who really loved her. Not as she wanted to be loved, I am afraid. Worst of all, after the garden the world seemed very ugly and noisy and cruel and fierce to the girl. She could never get used to it. And one day she tried to find her way back to the garden and the elderberry scent and the golden fruit of dreams.
She never did. And so she died of a broken heart, in the snow .

This does not look like a catholic rosary to me.
