CHARLY BOY SPEAKS ON BIAFRA FOR THE FIRST TIME: HISTORY SHOULD TEACHES US THAT NATIONHOOD IS BLOODY !

Read what he wrote below...
I guess it about time I break my silence on this matter. From 1967 to 1970 my youth was scandalised with the horrors of the Nigerian civil war. I was never on the front line as a fighting soldier, but I was in the boys’ brigade transmitting from the naval headquarters then in Oguta. With the daily air raids and the smell of death all around us, we were thankful everyday we managed to stay alive.
I remember a sight that have never left me till today at the tail end of the civil war. I was walking down the street on my way to the stream to fetch water, lo and behold was the sound of death (air raids) As we all ran in different direction looking for a safe place to take cover, I turned around to figure the direction my friends were running in, all of a sudden I saw the head of one off them yanked off the body, as a result of the fighter jets that killed innocent civilians for fun, what a horrible sight for a 17yr old. The words of plato “only the dead see the end of war” were forever engrained in my thoughts.

I am a proud Igbo man, a home boy and a native fowl. No demo. My friends call me Igbotic not because am a nerd, or a jewman.  But because I represent and symbolise all the characteristics of a typical igbo man pre the civil war. The Igbos may have short circuited their political growth, but it doesn't take away the fact that we are great Nigerians.  I have learnt to be more Igbotic than I ever expected. As an igbo man, I have learnt to be more profitable in the things that I do. I have perfected the art of being tenacious in any dream I chase; to be industrious, consistent and powerfully focused. All the lessons I learnt from my brothers in the tribe have made me dogged, hardworking and exhibiting the ability and capacity to survive in any kind of weather. I am an original Nwa Biafra.

Needless to say that the igbo man is known to be one of the most entrepreneurial mind in the country. So it is particularly pathetic and unfortunate when some ignorant youths talk about this illusion called Biafra. History should teach us that Nationhood is Bloody, Hard and almost impossible when fantasy is the currency of demand. Even as Nigerians, see how our docility is killing our humanity. Didn't the fall of Biafra after the genocide and the suffering of my people teach us anything? Haven't we been marginalised enough? I Believe the Failure of the igbo nation is the fault of the people elites and decision makers. Why have we not poured our energy, capacity and Ability into making the South East the Dubai of the Nation as well as the engine room of the Nigerian Economy? Who would be our leaders when the south east is infested with political power grabbers, 419ers, mindless criminals and looters of our commonwealth and resources? Need I mention names?

See how we have migrated to different parts of Nigeria and the world which is good, made it home and developed our immediate environment. Why are we neglecting our home base, why are we running away from developing the South East?

Our problem may not after all be the man in Aso Rock from Daura or the ordinary Hausa or Yoruba man on the Streets of Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Warri or Ogbomosho. The problem is the lack of men of integrity and a progressive mind set. We lack the right kind of leadership that will fight for the interest of the People. Let it be clear to all that the suffering of the People from the South East is also the suffering of the people from the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria. It is therefore retrospectively insane to begin to think that a people with a problem would suddenly be relieved when they are attached with a tag #BIAFRA; What Nonsense and Insanity! Now how do you begin to imagine that while the agitation for the state of Biafra is being demanded by the gullible Ibo youths, those who have been or are in position of authority are either not interested or are continuing their expansive investments in other part of Nigeria? Who dem dey deceive? They divide us daily with Religion, Tribalism, Ethnicity and Petty Bigotry even among the Tribes and Ethnic composition in the South East there is divisiveness. Why is Namdi Kanu yet to realize that the Dreams of Nationhood are lost in the Altar of Deception.

Have we even considered that the population of my people from the south east outside the Region is twice the population of those in the south east? How can we who are supposed to be looking at making the South East the centralised Industrial Hub of the Nigeria Nation be the ones who are driving a wedge of unrealistic fantasy between Nigeria and our own people? When President Muhammadu Buhari sings the localisation and Nigerianazation song; We should be the ones to drive the narrative, because We Can.. When you have a willing Partner, who is interested in the Nigerianization of the Nigerian Economy; Why are some of my people busy creating or Poisoning the environment that are ordinarily designed to favour that which will promote the industrialization of the South East. Why have we become the enemy of our own home? Why hasn't the "think home mentality” arrested every igbo billionaires and millionaires? Why are we eliminating the chances of Ibonising the Nigerian Economy by Nationalizing the Ibo Thought for a United and Prosperous Nigeria as well as for the benefits of all?

I cannot STAND here and tell you there are no problems of trust in Nigeria. I will be the last to say that the Ibo nation has not undergone persecution. I will be foolish to ignore the hunger that was used as a tool to starve the Ibo Nation during the civil war. I am perfectly in the know about the problems of the Nigeria structure, Abeg make we know our History but use am to work today to perfect tomorrow.

No one can argue the facts, and the facts are clear. The major problem of the Ibo Nation is also the major issue with the Nigeria State. 'The Mindset'. The Mind must first be liberated, the thoughts must be harmonised and the people of the South East, my dear brothers and sisters must know that the development of the region is horrible because the leaders in the region have failed. Politically, Religiously, Societally and Communally. Over the past decades; where is the Accountability from the leadership with regards;

1.    FAAC;

2.    IGR;

3.    LOCAL BONDS;

4.    FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTAL LOANS;

5.    AIDS; GRANTS & BUDGETARY SUPPORT;

6.    THE MANY FEDERAL PROJECTS IN THE REGION etc

The Failure of Leadership is evident in our agitation for Fairness, Justice and Equality for every Nigerian not just for every Ibo man. And so the Mind of the typical Ibo Leader Needs a Revolution to be realigned for the Interest of the People rather than the interest of their pockets. Biafra is not the Solution, I truly don't think so. So, Igbo ndi Oma. Let's focus on our home land and begin to demand accountability and responsibility from many of our Scammers, Riffraff’s and Fraudsters in the Ibo Kingdom called leaders. Let's us pause on the fantasy tagged Biafra for now. Let's us dutifully work ourselves back into reckoning, by industrialising our home base.

I know we can, and we should.

I also urge Mr President to show mercy on our brother Nnamdi Kanu; Him be Pikin.

Biafra, my Igboticness is always on my mind because #OURMUMUDONDO.

FAYOSE PREVENTS APOSTLE SULAIMAN ARREST BY DSS OPERATIVES IN ADO-EKITI (PHOTOS AND VIDEO)

Governor Ayo Fayose last night prevented the DSS men from taking Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministry by the DSS for speaking against Fulani herdsmen killing of Nigerians at his crusade last  Sunday.

Armed men of the DSS came in THREE Hilux Vans and were laying siege on Midas Hotel, Iworoko, Ado-Ekiti, to effect Apostle Johnson Suleman’s arrest before the Governor stormed the hotel to rescue him.

Suleman is hosting a two-day crusade in Ado Ekiti tagged ‘Help From Above’, his first  in Ekiti State.
Ayodele Fayose attended the opening of the two days crusade, and got wind of the DSS presence at the hotel where Suleman was lodged.

Governor Fayose drove himself to the hotel, and moved the Man of God to the Govenmentt House.

Speaking after the scenario, Apostle Suleman insisted that it was the handwork of the federal government and he would not be cowed.
“I’m not a partisan person, I’m not a politician. I’m sent by my Father to deliver messages and I’ll not be intimidated.
For attempting to arrest me for speaking the truth in one day, the damage they had done to themselves would take one year to repair.”
Apostle Suleman therefore wants the world, Nigerians and the Christian world to know that it is the Nigeria’s presidency that is after his life for his stand against a system that oppresses the Christianity,” reads a statement from the church.

Meanwhile, members of the Omega Fire Ministries in 51 nations of the world have reacted to the harassment of their president and founder, threatening to stage protests at the countries’ embassies to register their displeasure, calling the development ‘war against Christianity.'

HOUSEMAID FLEES HOME WITH BOSSES' DAUGHTER IN LAGOS

Panic has gripped parents of a 22-month old girl, Mayowa Aweda, of Unity Estate, Idimu, Lagos, after their housemaid allegedly fled home with their child on Monday.

PUNCH Metro reports that Mayowa’s mother, Iyabo Aweda, had, while she and her husband were going to work that morning, instructed Christiana to wash plates and clothes before she returned from office.

It was gathered that when the husband, Leo Aweda, came back from work in the evening, Christiana
had yet to carry out the tasks.

A few minutes after, Leo was said to have gone to a salon to have a haircut and took Segun, their first child, along, leaving Christiana and Mayowa at home.
“I came back from the salon around 7am to discover that Mayowa and the housemaid were not at home.
“A resident said he saw her going out with my daughter around 7pm. She left with a rechargeable lamp. That was the only thing she took away; all her belongings are still at home.
“We got her in July 2016 through my wife’s friend, called Iya Samuel. We enrolled her in a private school and my wife sends N5,000 to her mother every month. She is in Basic 5. She is from Iseyin, Oyo State. I didn’t want my wife to employ her in the first place. We don’t have her picture,” Aweda told Punch on Tuesday.
The mother said Christiana had once fled home after she damaged the rope used for starting a generator, but was intercepted by a security guard at the estate gate.

She stated that she had wanted Christiana to leave a few months ago, but the housemaid’s mother begged her to rescind her decision.
She said,
“When I was going to work on Monday, I was supposed to take Segun somewhere, but my husband said Segun would not go with me. He asked me to let him stay with Christiana. She was happy when I told her she would look after Segun that day.
“I told her to clean the kitchen, wash plates and her clothes, as well as the children’s clothes. I told her to pick up Mayowa at creche by 5pm. I do have a lot of meetings on Mondays, which made me to get home late.
“When I got home, I discovered that she had yet to do any of the tasks and had probably been watching television all day.
“I think she felt I would beat her for not doing the work. The fear probably made her to flee home with my daughter. But I have never beaten her before for any reason and we take good care of her. I only threatened to beat her so she could do what she was supposed to do.”
Punch adds that that the guarantor, Iya Samuel, was arrested by policemen from the Idimu division, where the case was reported, while Christiana’s mother had been informed about the incident.
“We called the woman this morning (Tuesday) to ask if she saw Christiana. She said she had not seen her,” Iyabo added.
Hours later, an enthusiastic Leo called and told PUNCH Metro on the telephone that the maid and his daughter had been found at Oshodi under bridge by the police.
“Praise the Lord, I just received a call that they have been found in Oshodi under bridge. I learnt that some policemen saw them under Oshodi bridge. She had yet to tell us why she fled home with the child,” he said.

UMARU MUSA YAR'ADUA UNIVERSITY ISSUES A REJOINDER ON REGISTRATION OF ASSOCIATIONS/CLUBS

 According to Lara Lara Wise,the school's initial reaction to the media outrage, was that the first memo (the part I  circled in red below) was directed at splinter Islamic groups fermenting trouble on campus. English isn't such a difficult language to write, especially for a reputable institution like this... "IN VIEW OF THE RECENT SECURITY THREATS POSED BY SOME ISLAMIC SPLINTER GROUPS BENT ON FORMENTING TROUBLE AND DISTABILISING THE PEACE OF THE INSTITUTION, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MUSLIM SOCIETY OF NIGERIA, MSSN, IS THE ONLY ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS GROUP RECOGNISED ON CAMPUS ". If the memo was so written, in part, we would not be having this conversation today.
