North central is not the issue at hand. The name biafra is in the caption of this thread and that is where SS comes in, not north central. If you want me to comment on the issue of north central, you have to open a thread for that.

The most important consideration in the composition of any group is the freewill choice of the proposed . Pakistan was once part of India but with time they exercised their freewill to separate from India. Likewise some states in the US today weren't originally part of the union but later they exercised their freewill to the union. Back in the days, the present Edo and Delta States together with the western parts of the present Bayelsa State were all part of the Western Region but they later exercised their freewill to separate from it. Therefore the fact that some states of the present SS were once together in the SE Region doesn't automatically deny them the freewill and freedom of choice to choose another political group they may now love to belong. They have repeatedly made themselves clear that they are not interested in Biafra and that they were never collectively interested in it.

Your most viable options are:
1. As a person who can teach Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics, you are a very hot cake and even though private schools managements in Nigeria are generally mean, there are still few out there that are reasonable enough to appreciate you for these subjects and never play with your occupational welfare. So look out for another school. But it is important that when you are in the process of searching for another school, you don't present yourself as desperately looking for that job as that is usually the foundation of the disdain and ill treatment you will later get from the management.

2. Find a way to be self employed. Going by my own personal experience, I can boldly say that your residing in Lagos is already an advantage in regard to this because Lagos is practically the only city in Nigeria where your skills sell fast especially if you are excellent in those skills.

Even the market know say NSEMPA and Morgan people came to the market today

Seems the frequently cited theory here that NSEMPA are not buoyant enough to influence prices is being proven wrong with yesterday Morgan's system glitch standing as evidence.

Irony1:


Under the Unitary decree Nigeria formally ceased to be a Federation and was renamed the ‘Republic of Nigeria’, the Federal Executive Council became the ‘National Military Government’, the Federal Executive Council became simply the ‘Executive Council’ and Lagos the ‘capital territory’. The Regions were formally abolished, but the Provinces (the next largest istrative division below the Regions) were grouped into ‘the Northern Group of Provinces’, the ‘Eastern Group of Provinces’, etc. These Groups corresponded exactly with the previous Regions and the four Military Governors continued in office istering the same area as before.

The Military Governors however lost the power to incur expenditure on their own responsibility without prior consent. The federal and regional public services were unified into a single ‘National Public Service’. Control over the most senior posts was centralized. The power to appoint and dismiss ‘ persons to hold or act in the office of permanent secretary to any department of government of the Republic or any other office of equivalent rank in the National Public Service’ was vested in the Supreme Military Council. The National Public Service Commission was to be consulted before any such appointments were made. The power to appoint, promote, dismiss, and discipline in relation to all other istrative posts was vested in the National Public Service Commission.

This power was delegated except for the most senior posts to Provincial Public Service Commissions. The power to appoint the of the Police Service Commission was vested in the Head of the National Military Government (under Decree No. 1 it had been in the Federal Executive Council).

Unfortunately, in all your responses you have not been able to address the question you are asked which is simply; what did Ironsi mean with the bolded lines in his broadcast? Until you answer this question very directly, you will remain an Ironsi appoligist shying away from the naked truth.

Reminds me of @Deepsuk

That monicker could actually be the return of Deepsuck in disguise.

abidem4real:

Eku ise opolo ooo🙌🏼🙌🏼 you can be saying all these now when obviously you elders have improvised Nigeria and you are now far from power. What did you do when you had the opportunity to rule as a youth?
Come to think of it, what makes you think the youth of nowadays will get it better given the opportunity to rule as peradventure president? Dey play! The youths have already been perverted by the incessant misrule of you elders all these while and the probability of them coming to their right senses is near zero.
It's only God that will give us a leader who truly has the will, ion and love of the country at heart through our trial and error.

Another sensible comment.

MadamVanessa:




So impossible. Majority of southwestern youths are clowns 🤡 let me not even talk of the northern youths, those ones live and act under the detect of imams.

The only youths we have in this country are south east and south south youths, never forgetting my ever rugged and ruthless Edo youths, I love those guys.

Others claiming to be youths are all stooges programmed to defend undefendable actions, justify unjustifiable deeds, rationalize irrational policies of these old nonentities called leaders.

Nigeria is a joke hence I can't be tired laughing at it.

The same Edo youths against whom you lots sustained for six good years a very rabid campaign of calumny and unprintable name calling like Fulani slaves, fake SS people, cousins of the SW, black sheep of the SS Region, betrayals, etc for the 'crime' of giving Buhari as much as 40% votes in 2015 election?
What has now suddenly changed?

ezechi24:
Obasanjo should shut his mouth up....he mislead this beautiful country when he had the power to lay a solid foundation, Now things aren't going his way he wants the youths to take power, how many youths did he help when he was the president, instead him and atiku where there selling off every company that would have been a blessing to the future generations while putting useless laws and redering the companies that werent sold useless.

If any politician deserves to be killed today I'd pick Obasanjo to be killed first, the decay started from him.....spits

This is the most sensible comment on this thread.

Mbanda:
You are the inferior one here for answering Niger Delta and SS Do you even know the meaning of niger delta?

Is there anything like SS in com or the four cardinal points?

There is also Nothing like North Central in the com points but you haven't because of that denied the people of the present North Central Region their right to separate existence. So why is it only the SS' absence from the com points that pains you lots so much?

Mbanda:
But you lots always tag Kaduna Nzeogwu's coup as "Igbo coup" can you tells why?

First and foremost, the coup was plotted, hatched and led not by Nzeogwu but by Ifeajuna - a native of Onitsha in today SE Region. That said, the coup is correctly tagged Igbo coup not because of the tribe of those who plotted or executed it. Only a very dishonest person would pretend not to understand that a coup plot which is a very secrete endeavour by its very nature could only be shared with very trusted and close friends who are most likely to be from one's own ethnic group. However the coup is tagged an Igbo coup because of the pattern of casualty. Pray tell us how many Igbo politicians were killed in comparison to the other ethnic groups' politicians who were killed in large numbers and in the most cruel and gruesome manners. Were all the Igbo politicians in government back then saints and smelling of roses regarding the corruption which the coupists cited as their reason for stricking?

Spandau:


What Ironsi did was not patriotism. It was an attempt to bring to fruition the Zikist ideology of superiority and dominance. He needed not to have tampered with the arrangement ab initio, if he had any integrity. Patriotism my foot. Guess you see where the 'patriotism' has brought Nigeria today? Did history show you how he was brutally executed by Northerners? Now you're screaming for Biafra. You can't eat your cake and have it.

Don't mind them. When they commit serious crime against others they call it patriotism or nationalism. Imagine a supposedly educated person describing a blunder as an act of patriotism just because his brother committed it. But the same people villify Gowon for equally creating states to frustrate Ojukwu thus keep Nigeria one. How a people so brazenly use double standards without any shame or conscience pricking them at all remains a puzzle to me. So Ironsi a barely educated soldier knew what patriotism entails more than the seasoned graduates of some of the world's most prestigious universities who drafted the Independence Constitution?

Neckpresser101:


Igbos are never the cause of anyone's problem

I would say this a thousand times igbos are by far the most patriotic Nigerians


You lots hate Ojukwu for declaring Biafra


You also hate ironsi for trying to keep the country together

.if Igbos are patriotic they're blaimed


If they're not , they're still blaimed



About Adaka Boro declaring Niger Delta republic


You realise some parts of Cameroon was part of eastern region they left by a referendum no one had issue with people following due process then


Adaka Boro picked up arm against federal troops to declare Niger Delta republic


Even if it's Yorubas or Hausas are general in charge military positions then,
The attempt of breaking away from Nigeria would have still been futile no nobody sit down and watch militia group declare a republic and hail them!
It's not done anywhere! Biafra was faught for same reason.


Both arrest of Adaka Boro and Awolowo were ordered by then prime minister Tafawa Belewa
Zik was just a ceremonial president



Had Niger Delta combined with Biafra declaring independence from Igbos will be easier than anything


We saw it happen when southern Cameroon left eastern region via referendum



Again

Ironsi was blaimed for being patriotic to keeping Nigeria one


Ojukwu was blaimed for trying divide same country you don't want united!


If you want to know who is behind everything that happened

Check who is enjoying the oil wells and everything now


I'm particularly glad Igbos are blessed beyond major


We are not bothered at all

The bolded alone clears all doubts of your ignorance of Nigeria political history. Tafawa Balewa was killed on the 15th of January 1966 and Adaka Boro was arrested in March same year yet you unabashedly claim here that Boro's arrest was ordered by a dead Balewa? Please look for comedy or romance section of NL and go and be playing there. Political history section is clearly not meant for you.

Aguiyi Ironsi dissolved the regions to keep Nigeria one, you say? Was anyone asking for the break-up of Nigeria before he took over power through the backdoor and imposed himself on Nigeria? If anything he actually divided Nigeria because his decrees were rejected by the majority of Nigerians and his insistence on letting them be led to the agitations for division begining with Araba calls followed by Niger Delta Republic declaration. Please go and read first before coming here.

Why the exclamation?!!!!!!
That means you are new in this business Nah.
Do you know I invested in union homes at 8+ in 2008 and also starcomms at 1+,I didn't see kobo to recoup from my 1.2 m naira investment then.
This is one of the reasons I became an emergency Jijoist till date.
Never fall in love with any stock.

That Union Homes broke too many hearts and took lives.
When I visited home lately I met a woman who told me her husband had been on hospital bed for three months without any progress being made on his treatment due to lack of funds, but that the man recently disclosed to them that he owned some shares which he bought at over a million Naira before 2010 and which if sold would take care of his treatment bill and still have left over. I asked her what company shares. When she mentioned Union Homes, my pity for her was not about how badly the price of Union Homes has plummeted but because of how difficult it would be to even find a buyer for it as of now.

I received a pay-off from Union Bank yesterday afternoon. I nearly shed tears of sadness. I obtained a loan of five hundred thousand naira in 2005, as a civil servant, and invested same on Union Bank shares, with no appreciable dividends declared, since then.
I was paid fifty thousand naira yesterday, for five hundred-thousand-naira investment in 2005. This is sad, and unfortunate. A discouragement on investing in shares, which I believe now should be for those who wish to trade in shares, and not for civil servants, who are thinking of life, after retirement.
Most of our investment on shares, between 2003 and 2008, were wasted by some Directors, of the quoted companies.

I too had a similar experience some time ago and the lesson I took away from it is that after buying a stock, one must not allow a single day go by without checking up the closing price on the exchange and searching the internet for any latest news about the company. In addition no stock on NSE is worth the kind of long-terming you did for Union Bank (2005 - 2023) i.e 18 solid years.

Thank you for reminding him of the role of Azikiwe in the creation of Nigeria.

This is funny , and the stocks you invest in are not businesses run by other people ?

So do you, by virtue of investing in a stock, automatically the staff of the company and therefore participate in the running of the business?

SugarSpill:

Edo South had it after igbinedion through Osunbor of the PDP but his victory was annulled by the courts. That was how Osho came in. But now Esan central don wise up, they are settling for anything less this time around and Edo South is with them on this.

Osunbor is not from Edo South. He is an Esan man and native of Iruekpen in Edo Central. Iruekpen is the next village you get to on your way to Benin immediately after Ekpoma. Check up your facts again.

currentprice:


Lol what do u expect na. where u want see grave rubber profit if not in stock mkt.

UBA for example... okay u are not lucky enough to enter at below 7 but u enter @ 10 with 15m

interim dividend alone u must have received about 675k and nothing less than 3m is awaiting by April, if nothing bad happen to the bank o.

house rent built for 50m cant even dash u that profit nor load on Trucks

I share your opinion. The stock market is about the only legitimate means to make over 500% profit on one's capital within 12 months. Ever since understanding the stock market and also how cheap Nigerian stocks are, discussions about the profitability of other businesses hardly interest me.

Mpeace:
Ever seen a fake full bid? Then monitor Seplat.
Directors already own overwhelming majority shares directly and indirectly, someone(maybe the same directors) keep clearing everything that comes up on offer side but won't allow the stock to appreciate in price.

Seplat is a very mysterious stock. The only times it appreciates for days consecutively is after it has fallen for days consecutively.
Therefore, I only buy Seplat if it falls by a cumulative 50% in four to five days so that in the next four to five days, it is likely to give you 100%. Anything short of that, Seplat is a no-go-area for me.

You should have just dropped it here back then at least for those of us who are fair weather fans of Japaul. With your revelation I would have loaded twice as much as I did last week when it retraced to 1.19.

Harvestock01:


They listed 190 million shares and did a Rights Issue of 1 for 3 to bring total OS to 253.333 million units.

With OS that tiny, any positive news about the company will spark of a protracted 10% daily gain. Imagine Mutual Benefits still doing oscillatory motion a week after releasing a fantastic result. Large OS is a red flag for trading.

Ozommadu:


But you were blind when igbos where directly threatened by mc oluomo? They even carried placard to warn igbos to stay off lagos politics?

So when does having an igbo mother or father became a crime? Only in yoruba land? Accomodators indeed.

Shebi fela grandson married igbo woman few days ago, I hope you're ready to hate his offspring till eternity?

I've come to realise that anything you yorubas accuse igbos of, you do worse in your enclave.

You be bini minority indeed... Olaniyi

I guess Oluomo just woke up one day and started threatening Igbos, right? Why wouldn't he threaten you when you stated trying to grab Yorubaland by terming it a no man's land? Wasn't it the same thing you did in 2015 that made Oba Akiolu threaten you with the lagoon? The same offensive and irritating attitude of yours makes Northerners give you quit notice every now and then. Have you ever asked yourself how come Oluomo didn't threaten other non-Yoruba tribes like Urhobo, Bini, Esan, Isoko, Etsako, Owan, Ijaw, Ibibio over whoever they choose to vote for? Why is it only you Igbos that natives of every other region are not comfortable with? It means there is something annoying about you. Even your supposed Ikwere brothers deny you so much that they claim Bini ancestry. Cant you see that you need to check yourselves?

Ozommadu:


All these long epistle na to cap nonsense??

Oluwole did you not label Obasanjo an igbo? Did you not dispise your own pa adebanjo because he ed an igbo candidate? Who's the worst hypocrite here?

We know you and you know we know you... Olaniyi

While I still maintain that you are a patient of the Igbo disease, it smacks of dishonesty on your part to pretend you don't know that Pa Adebanjo is said to have some connection with Igbo through his mum while Obasanjo and the alleged Igbo father are almost identical in appearance unlike Joe Igbokwe who is not known with any Yoruba blood links.
Didn't you lots kill your brothers who voted for Atiku or Tinubu in the SE? Hypocrite!

Nobody is forcing anyone

We have oil
We have gas too

Plus coal and other minerals and human resources to manage them

If ijaws and others are enjoying Nigeria. or controling Thier oil wells, I'll be see a tangible reason for rejecting Biafra but reverse is the case

Adaka Boro was killed by Adekunle and his cohorts after helping them winning the Niger Delta region
Even ken saro wiwa was hanged too by same people lol

Again nobody is forcing anyone

When you want to explain a people's nemesis by citing a problem, you cite the remotest origin of that problem and it is on that premise you decide who was really at fault. The murder of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa had their foundation in Ironsi's shortsighted greed and Ojukwu's arrogance. If Ironsi had listened to public opinion and therefore never tampered with the Independence Constitution, Isaac Adaka Boro would not have ever started the Niger Delta Struggle in the first instance hence Niger Delta agitation wouldn't have ever been part of Nigeria's history.
Secondly, When Isaac Adaka Boro declared Niger Delta Republic, if both Ironsi and Ojukwu had simply said to him, 'Congratulations and wishing you all the best in your new country' rather than use federal military might to force him and his Ijaw folk back into Ngeria, would Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa have still been citizens of Nigeria to warrant their participation in the Civil war and being killed by either Adekunle or Unknown Biafran soldiers? Anyhow you choose to look at it, Igbos were responsible for all the pains Ijaws and indeed all natives of the six SS states have ed through in this country.

Neckpresser101:

Who brought the name Biafra

Igbo or ijaw?

Lord Luggard's wife brought the name Nigeria. Did that automatically make her a Nigerian or does that mean that all her British folks were interested in becoming Nigerians?
