Always focusing on the mundane. The work of the DSS is national security, Federal crimes.

The police should handle this and let our DSS focus on more important things.

You’re wrong. This is a national security matter

You see?

It means even if Atiku had been declared the winner you would have opposed it.

It must be your candidate or nothing.

It is their destiny

aribisala0:
There is already evidence of interference so the claim is ridiculous
If he is sincere than he should allow Kanu to be transferred to prison and let the police instead of the DSS provide security at the court

I also do not Buhari releasing Kanu because that would make him look like a nice guy and I doubt that kanu wants that either . Let them go to court . If Kanu is convicted then we can talk about amnesty/clemency etc but for now the court process is not flowing

The guy is better kept with the SSS as he is a threat to National Security and basically I have not come across it anywhere that an accused person of that magnitude (treasonable felony) can't be held/remanded at the facility of the SSS so long it's backed by the court and not just ordinary detention.
Yes, I also the court process too, he should have his day at the court to determine whether he's guilty as charged or not. They should come back and beg for clemency by then.
However, if he denounces his madness, he may be pardoned. There are ways to seek self determination and independence other than being unnecessarily stupid which has led to the shut down of the South East causing violence and hardship on the Igbos, the same people he claimed to be fighting for.

Businesslist:
There were not many military leaders who were Generals in the Army before they became heads of states in Nigeria. Some were Colonels, Brigadier Generals, and only a sparse number were Major- Generals.

Before going any further, it is necessary to be acquainted with senior ranks in the Nigerian army. Starting from the lowest, they are: 2nd Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General.

During the Military regime in Nigeria, there were a total number of eight heads of state. They include: Aguiyi Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abubakar Abdusalam.

Listed below are the past Heads of states in Nigeria and their military ranks:

1. Major General Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi:

Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi ed the Nigerian regiment in 1842 as a private with the seventh battalion. In 1965, he rose to the rank of a Major General.

He became the military head of state in January 1966 and was killed during a coup in July that same year.

2. Lieutenant Colonel Yakubu Gowon:

Yakubu Gowon was commissioned as a second Lieutenant in the Army on the 19th October 1955, his 21st birthday. He became a Lieutenant Colonel in 1966 before he became the head of state. However, by virtue of his political post, he was promoted later to the rank of General.

3. Brigadier General Murtala Mohammed:

Murtala Mohammed was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in October 1971. He was a part of the coup that brought in Yakubu Gowon, and although he wanted to occupy the post at that time, he was a junior.

He became the head of state in 1975, until his assassination in 1976.

4. Major General Olusegun Obasanjo:

Olusegun Obasanjo enlisted in the Nigerian Army in March 1958 due to his family's inability to send him to the university. He served as head of state in Nigeria from 1976 to 1979 before relinquishing power to civilian government.

5. Major General Muhammadu Buhari:

In 1963, at age 20 he was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed platoon commander of the second infantry battalion. He later became head of state in 1983.

6. Major General Ibrahim Babangida:

During the regime of Muhammadu Buhari, Babangida became a Major General in the army. He later became head of state in 1985 until his resignation in 1993.

7. General Sani Abacha:

Sani Abacha served as military head of state from 1993 until his death in 1998. According to Wikipedia, in 1993, he became the first Nigerian Army officer to attain the rank of a full military General without skipping a single rank.

8. General Abdusalaami Abubakar:

He was initially in the Nigerian Air force before ing the Nigerian Army. He became head of state a day after the death of Sani Abacha in 1998.

Obasanjo was a Lt. General and Abubakar was a Major General before becoming the Head of State. Pls take note

For putting on a Biafran dress which is not even against the law?

There is no law in Nigeria that bans Biafra or the Biafran flag

Only IPOB as a group was banned, not Biafra or the Biafran flag

Isn't that the insignia/flag of a proscribed organization or does IPOB have another insignia/flag different from that of the Biafra?

Promoting an outlawed organization under any guise either by what you wear or display is the same thing as going against the State which you will agree is a bigger offence. And so you need to look at the wider picture and not some myopic line of thought.

Your human right (to wear promote anything you like) is insignificant if it is inimical to National Security. Allow that to sync.

kcnwaigbo:


What portion of our constitution barred anyone from adorning Biafra themed attires?

Did you seriously ask that?
What part of our laws says IPOB is a legal organization that you can publicly express for or show off your hip without being straighened up?

Buhari is planning a genocide in Southern Nigeria. Twitter ban is a part of silencing voices that would expose his plans.

Buhari is also working to crumble the Southern economy so that nobody can resist his genocidal moves. That's why he's sending his henchmen to terrorize a region that used to be a haven of peace before 2015. Now, he is killing off illustrious Southerners like Dr. Akunyili out of envy and trying to hang it on IPOB.

Who tells you that all the so-called Yahoo Boys being arrested in the South are criminals? He is arresting our forex and crypto millionaires also because he wants to silence every possible resistance to his evil moves.

Twitter's return will be useless because everything you post will be vetted and tagged hate speech. But, it will remain on record that it was when Buhari threatened SE with genocide and Twitter deleted the threat that BUHARI BANNED TWITTER.

Here is a fellow who spends whatever it takes to arrest the likes of Kanu and Igboho in foreign countries. But, he pretends not to see his killer foot soldiers disguised as cow herders.

Buhari's government is scored low on many fronts and indeed very low especially in the area of security and economy, however, can you substantiate these claims/allegations with facts or you're just the regular and misguided propagator of beer palour gists?

Truthissupreme:
Jack still use spokesman to address the issue

While a federal minister is the one dealing on behalf of a nation with spokesman of a private firm


Says alot about who is on the receiving end

No, stop being ridiculous and stay objective. Negotiations are on and both sides are not denying it. That Federal Minister is the government's spokesman, that's his portfolio. Help yourself.

Government has nothing to lose to Twitter's irresponsibility, it's just Twitter and people like us who have refused to use APN one day until Twitter starts behaving itself on the Nigerian soil.

And you know what, I'm not losing anything anyways.

So you should commend the two sides for even seeing the need to trash the issues out in the interest of Nigerians who are doing real businesses on Twitter instead of being mischievous early Tuesday morning.

I was also of this wrong notion that Lugard was the culprit until I found out Sir Walter Egerton, Sir Ralph Moore, Sir Reginald Laurence Antrobus George D. Taubman Goldie were the ones that came up with the idea initially, in fact its said that it could have been the singular idea of that Sir Reginald Laurence Antrobus to make the southern and northern protectorate into one country. So please dey try redirect your swear to right person maybe we go fit comot for this shit on time

So suit is the thing that will aid performance?

Abi o. I don't Obasanjo and Yar'Adua wearing a suit either, may be Jonathan wore it a few times sha.

This said post is from Sowore of Sahara Reporters. The same way he said Lai has gone to America to meet with Twitter weeks ago only to find out later that Lai actually went to the US to interact with some organizations but Twitter.
Can anyone discern this?

We await the suspension of ChannelsTV and the arrest of the gentlemen, only then will I believe this news.

Cheers

NSNA:
According to Facebook post by Sowore following the interview which alleges Governors and persons in Buhari's government as sponsors of Boko Haram, President Buhari has reportedly ordered NBC to suspend Channels television over the interview.

I really hope this won’t create more problems

So long as he doesn't try to escape. It shouldn't create problem for him.

He was the most hated wrestler at one time. A nightmare to kids. I really enjoyed him when Paul bearer was his manager

I actually hated him for beating Hulk Hogan, but I got to love him later on.

Mightyhaiz:
Haba.. in her own country again? What's the anger about?? Or is Nigeria now 2? Is Nigeria not one again

State appointments are not Federal appointments. Why can't you just see the reason why Ondo state people are not down with the appointment of a non indigene for such a post while a lot of Ondo graduates are not yet engaged?

Rather than looking into the substance of the matter, you chose to play the victim instead.

It's even more sensitive that the young girl is from the Governor's wife's home state.

Juliusmalema:


Since they have entered. Ondo state should take them in or put them in Isolation.


Them been in Ondo is like also living in their own State.

That's not correct now, they came in illegally knowing fully well that there is a law in place restricting movement into and out of the State. Isn't that mischievous?

NO INTERSTATE MOVEMENT, what part of that statement is written in Latin?

So they must return to wherever they were coming from. When the pandemic is over they should come back.

We can't afford to be careless at this time.

Make your wall look exceptionally beautiful by laying a beautiful paper on it. It stick to the wall with the help of gum and doesn't tear easily. A roll contain 5.3 square meter which means a roll will cover 5.3sqm of your wall. We deliver nationwide. Different colors available

On the average, how long can it stay on the wall before it starts to tear/peel off?

MISSCONGENIALITY:
I don't have much to say because I'm not ready for people who have not even attain manhood to start flexing muscles with me.
But let me say this. It's left only for the woman involved to decide what to do. People will advice her to stay while some will tell her to leave but at the end of the day she is the one wearing the shoes and knows where it hurts. Instead of killing the man, just walk away.
But if a man can cheat and be forgiven, a woman should also be forgiven for cheating.

You sound well educated and foolish at the same time!
A terrible pity

Your father sounds well educated and foolish all the time since you don't know how to address people in a public forum.

Solidstarr28:
People cant even pay last respects to their dead in peace. PMB and the people around him are very funny. How come they are this scared of one man?

You are very wrong, if Kanu is not scared of PMB why will he run away disgracefully putting Abaribe in trouble and why does he find it very difficult to come back to his Biafra land if truly he leads and rules the entire Igbo nation? Col. Ojukwu ran away too anyways, so what do you expect from Kanu... Only to start what they can't finish.

Kanu's family should bury their dead. But I the FG saying it won't allow any proscribed organisation to attend as though they are still legal. If Kanu's followers wishes to attend the burial, then they must attend as normal citizens who wishes to pay last respect to departed elders/monarch. As long as they wish to display the flags/insignia of an outlawed organisation, then the military/police too can do as they want.

The security forces are free to do whatever they like with them and in the end, the respect everyone wishes to give to the departed monarch and his wife will be truncated. So it is advised that Kanu's followers should conduct themselves in a civilized manner as normal citizens for the burial to go as planned.

One thing that cannot be guaranteed is whether Kanu will walk free after the burial if he attends That is left for the FG to decide.

This car was first d 4 months ago. Why do you think it has not been sold today? It's because people no longer wish to pay for goods that are not commensurate with the price tags.

You could in the open, yet you refused to disclose the VIN in the open and with a rigidly high price tag. People want to see the vehicle information to ascertain if it's commensurate with your price or not.

What do you expect?

ahiboilandgas:
u don deal with woman that way ....u scope her .u dont tell to foot the bills u get the total bill then form at if u are trying hard to gather the whole sum then she will see reason to assist even more than your expectations

This is wrong. A real man doesn't 'scope', why should he? Is it not her wedding? Is he getting married to himself? Where is this entitlement thing coming from? What law, natural/scriptural/man-made stipulates that a man must solely finance a wedding be it Traditional or White? Chief, come out and come out plain. She must take responsibility.

Some women confuses privileges with rights, they are not the same. A wedding happens between two people and by implication, two families. The two families have a role to play in financing the wedding. Why should it be one-sided? Even if I have the money to finance a wedding I wouldn't do it solely, the bride's family must participate no matter how small, there must be the sense of responsibility.

When myself and my wife decided to settledown, I put the facts on the table; that my both parents are retirees, her father was late and her mum is also a retiree and so it's going to be 'our wedding'. So she got the message, whatever budget/model she wants us to adopt is good but she must have it at the back of her mind that we are both financing the wedding. This by implication expressly took away all unnecessary 'my wedding day wants/fantasies' and we went for only our needs. By the grace of God we had a relatively small but classy wedding of not more than 200-250 guests. Traditional, Registry and Reception on the same day... and it's been happily ever after for us.

This man, from his write up already spent a fortune on the Traditional wedding. Why then is the lady angry this time. When will she ever take responsibility for her marriage and yet-to-be-born family if she can't finance her own wedding. She's a working class with a relatively good pay, so what reasonable excuse will be her reason for getting angry?

Chief, please ignore, when she's done with her anger, she will come around. You gave too much and she chose not to appreciate your efforts on the Traditional wedding. Whenever she's ready you can start planning for the White wedding. You may choose to renegotiate the percentage on the condition that you are 'capable' not because she got angry at you bringing it up initially.

Finally, my two cents, give a lady an inch, she will go a mile. You have not seen the last of a woman trying to be evasive of her responsibilities to your Union and to your future family even when the means are there, just because you are 'the man' who must do everything while she sits back and enjoy the ride as the 'madam of the house' without contributing anything or too little to the family finance. Beware, now is the time to correct the anomaly.

Good luck in your marriage.

Venerable612:


This is wrong.

First off the name Amotekun has nothing to do physical semblance as such.

It literally translates - “one who knows as Ekun”.

Again, you are wrong that Yoruba doesn’t have a transalation for Tiger - because our fathers didn’t have an encounter with them.

In fact Tiger has two Yoruba names. It could be called OGIDAN or EKUN. That’s why they say this provide - “Ogidan o ni se Barber, ki aja de be lo ge irun”.

And “KAKA KI KINIUN SAKAPO EKUN, OLODE A MAA RODE.“ Mind you Lion in Yoruba is Kiniun. And no one will ever compare a Lion with a Leopard. No animal can stand the Lion grit for grit amongst the Cat Family other than the Tiger; hence, the comparison.

Also, when Yorubas jokingly refer to someone as Ekun - it’s to represent that the person is a Strong man.

Thus,

Lion - Kiniun
Tiger - Ogidan and Ekun
Leopard - Amotekun
Cheetah - Owawa.

Hope this helps.

Respect! You just delivered my speech

Off topic.

Among all the preachers, I still think oyedepo's kids are the most well behaved. You rarely hear them on social media nor do they miss yarn.
Asides that last born that tried one stunt that time, and I think papa must have talked some senses into her.

...but then Oyedepo is one of most 'not-so-well-behaved' adults in the news... The satire about Buhari from Sudan, the gate of hell and the rest comes to mind... Just because of personal hatred for the President.

sammyj:
This joke of this decades. I thought this discos are now independent of the government which was the reason why they were privatised in the first place. Imaging giving order without first making provisions for every home to be metered. Lets wait and see our it goes!!

Privatised but regulated by the FG through NERC.
About metering, go to NERC and update yourself. You can even pay over a 10-year period

letusbepieces:
Can the Yoruba now retrace their steps to an all Southern brotherhood.

It is very important. North west has the North east and the SE has the SS.

Who does the SW have?

Bitterness & hatred will one day kill you

PDP should name their candidate for 2023 we already have our own candidate in the person of pastor professor Yemi Osinbajo GCFR SAN

The Professor is a GCON o, not a GCFR
