Massacres and pogroms were carried out with either connivance or active support of the security forces outside the then Eastern region who did next to nothing to protect innocent civilians especially the......

Some of my Northern friends have defended the lopsided appointments made by President Buhari thus far as they talk about competence and qualification as the yardsticks.I hope the people saying this understand the fact that it is easier to defend a Nigeria with Southerners holding over 90% of the appointments and positions based on academic qualifications and competence than it is to defend a Nigeria with Northerners holding up to 65% of the appointments and positions......

Still on Chief Arthur Nzeribe's earlier anti corruption recommendation - link every asset or property to the owner and let the owner explain the source of wealth or money used to acquire the property.Who steals money without using the money to purchase physical items?This idea of even jobless people suddenly buying cars and houses without anyone (especially family members and friends) asking questions is bad and encourages all sorts of crimes out there by people that......

So Biafra is the new cash cow Asari is banking on to remain in the news while hoping for a business opportunity since he cannot talk about marginalization of the Niger Delta after GEJ served as vice president, acting president and president, right? And some Igbo people are excited that Asari is now more Biafran than Niger Deltan? How about a Niger Delta Republic or Kalabari Republic? Abi, hin no like am like that? The fact......

All from the same man----1. GEJ's government was very corrupt.2. We didn't find any evidence of corruption against GEJ but he should be held responsible for the actions of his people3. Okonjo Iweala diverted money (a response from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala made nonsense of the allegation)4. GEJ's agricultural reform was a scam (Adesina just rubbished that statement) 5. Jonathan's lootings forced me to secure $75m loan from World Bank -----There is life outside politics and power is......

So, top civil servants are now selling off their choice properties just to escape the eyes of anti corruption agencies?Was it not Chief Arthur Nzeribe that made a recommendation in the Senate when he was a senator that solving the problem of corruption in Nigeria was a very simple thing since all that needed to be done was tie assets and properties to their owners and then ask the owners to explain source of income or......

This is easy to figure out because politicians always look forward to getting returns on their investments. Some of them borrowed money, sold properties, some even killed political opponents and may have buried alive both human beings and animals as directed by their juju cum religious leaders.President Buhari freeing himself from the stranglehold of APC is a positive development yet this is risky if he surrounds himself with and listens to people that do not know......

Any serious fight against corruption in Nigeria would see almost all the civil servants, politicians, policemen, PHCN workers and businessmen either executed or serving life jail terms. If you eradicate corruption a lot of people would commit suicide because being corrupt is the only way they know and without corruption they will simply shut down. This is how bad the situation is in Nigeria and this is why no serious anti corruption fight has taken place......
