They shot at unarmed people trying to remember their fallen heroes. They killed them in cold blood. Young boys, who only wanted to have their stories heard. I saw it all. My life was threatened. I ran like a mad man. I hid. I was made to treat the wounded, without police report. I thought I was going to be shot dead by the same soldiers who shot at the wounded that I was made to treat. We hustled for tools, blood and, ambulance to transport those that we were able to resuscitate, under severe pressure, to bigger hospitals where they would get specialist care. Soldiers were stationed, positioned, along the streets like there was a war going on. Young boys with nothing but, Biafran colours and songs were shot and killed. News men were denied access. And holding a phone meant being shot at. I was made to put my own life at risk; what's if the soldiers who shot the IPOB guys, came and fired at the junior doctor who had no hand in the violence, a terrified doctor who was on...

"Before leaving you today, I will raise for you(hunters) #2.5m, Secondly, I will raise #2.5m again for the affected families. "I want to say it very clearly, everything you want me to do, I will do. Because the moment you are not secured then I had better resigned as a governor. "If I cannot provide adequate security for you, it is better for me to leave this office. The only reason you voted for me is because you know I am competent to do the needful in circumstances like this. Nobody will take Ekiti away from us. "This killing of our people must stop. It is deliberate and we must take all actions to stop it. "They have killed two, they have killed all of us, a fight against one Ekiti man is a fight against everybody, the President must rise up to the challenge and stand this decaying security situation in the face, we cannot continue like this. "When they defeat you they will go to the next community, when they defeat that community they wil...

Rescued Chibok Girl Is A Scam- Fantastically nonsensical propaganda and deceit of the highest order from Buhari Led Administration. This rescued Chibok girl can’t read, speak and understand English but wanted to write WASC examination. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? This is a ploy to justify the squandering of foreign aid donated for the rescue of the real chibok girls (i.e those ones preparing for physics exam). This is why Nigeria lacks credibility. The most cruel conspiracy in all of these mess is that Buhari and the Arewa Elders unleashed Boko Haram Pedophiles on Nigeria for cheap and heartless political gains. Chibok girls. These girls were the pawns on the political chessboard to stampede Jonathan out of Aso Rock. We saw the script last week. Buhari had nothing to celebrate on May 29th, 2016. So, he put together this comic soap opera. Country of riddle and jokes, the civilian JTF found her while they were fetching fire wood, took her to her mother then to military and then...

"Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 and they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M. Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, and brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, and Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with appointments - we have examples of MT Mbu who became Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a Federal Adviser at 27 and so on and s...

"We remain on the side of the people. We feel their pulse and their pains. We believe the removal of fuel subsidy is a great misadventure, and have conveyed our stand on the issue in a letter to the President, though we never got a response." ‘’President Jonathan did not tell Nigerians during his electioneering campaign, that his administration will only be able to deliver the dividends of democracy by removing fuel subsidy. Therefore, it amounts to arm-twisting the people to say that funds saved from fuel subsidy removal will be used to construct roads, build hospitals and schools and other expectations from the government. "The government should have been honest enough to say it is seeking ways to raise money for governance, and Nigerians would have been glad enough to let it know how to raise money without resorting to a phantom fuel subsidy removal. "Our message to the President is that if he feels he cannot explore other areas to raise money for development,...

The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarkin in Gobir (now called Sokoto) hosted a Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his group in February 1804, as a result of this and since 1808 the whole of the northern region lost its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani emirates. King Yunfa is said to have been killed in 1808 and the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established Sokoto caliphate, making himself Sultan. Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged and taken over by the Fulani emirs. The ethnic groups in the core north were the first victims of Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred because the people were given access to grazing land as a result of the hospitality of the hosts. They however failed to overrun the Bornu kingdom, so the Shehu of Bornu remains paramount till today! The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824 And Ilorin, a Yoruba town und...
