hough Jonathan is clueless but they should not heap all the blames on him alone.after all Gowon and Obasanjo are still alive because they are the people that did the pact with Cameroon by blocking relieves that were meant to the then Biafra soldiers in other to win the war with the consent of the local bakassi indigence. and that reminds me about that good for nothing talkative woman called florence ita giwa that was busy Chilaxing while her father's house she represents in the senate was on fire,just feel for them because am human, but if we should bring ten years since the judgement was passed into consideration i think people of cross river state were more focused on federal allocation as oil producing state and staging carnival in the name of promoting tourism rather than making it known to the world about the injustice inflicted on them by Gowon and Obasanjo's Goverments by given out their inheritance without properly consulting the local community involved.

point of correction,Arochukwu is not the only igbo community that have something in common with the ibibios or the efiks,both Abiriba and all the old bende faction in the present Abia state all had a temporal stay at the present cross river and akwaibom state during their migration period in the olden days before they finally settled in the present day Abia state.

he report says Lagos is the only Nigerian coastal city that might go under if nothing serious is done to stop the effects of climate change and the poor environmental attitude of the residents.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) based in France, had, in a study entitled Ranking of the world's cities most exposed to coastal flooding today and in the future, revealed that Lagos was at risk of being submerged in the next 50 years. Lagos was among cities in the developing world facing similar fate. Cotonou, Liberia and Abdijan in West Africa were in the number.

OECD said that "in the 20th century, sea level rose by an estimated 17 centimetres but conservative global mean projection for sea level rise between 1990 and 2080 ranges from 22-34 centimetres. Oceans which have been absorbing 80 per cent of the temperature increase attributable to global warming are expanding as ice sheets in the North and South poles melt. These events have led to a rise in sea levels and increasing flooding in coastal cities. The projected rise in sea levels could result in catastrophic flooding of coastal cities."

A University of Lagos don, Dr Emmanuel Enyeribe Ege, said the prediction about Lagos and other cities re-echoed in Rotterdam in June this year at a programme entitled Urban Development Tools and Climate Change and its implication for the world. It was organised by the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. Dr Ege, who teaches in the Department of Geography said: "From what I observed, what they (in Europe) are doing regarding climate change and what we are doing here are poles apart. It is clear that we are too complacent with climate issues.

mm this lawan of a guy use to look honest if we are to judge him by his face value but falling into this kind of trap make someone to have a rethink. i hope this is not well planned set-up by some crooks.

HBD.but if you was like your father that defends the power instead of the other way round.

i think is high time we forget everything about abiola of a guy and move on, after all he deserve what he got.( MILITARY ERRAND BOY)

When on February 21, 2012 some copies of the Quran and other religious materials were removed from a detainee facility at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan for disposal, they were inadvertently burnt by United States soldiers.

The Qurans were included for disposal because they had “extremist inscriptions” on them, which aroused the fear that they were being used to fertilize extremist communications. John Allen, commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force, said that the decision to burn them was not because they were religious materials, nor because it had to do with the faith of Islam. He said it was done in error and when they discovered the documents, they immediately stopped and intervened. This singular action sparked off violence of immense magnitude in Afghanistan. President Obama had apologized to Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, promising to hold his subjects accountable – an apology that the rebels dismissed as “mere slogans” and some Americans saw as unnecessary.

In 1988 when the British novelist, Ahmed Salman Rushdie, published The Satanic Verses (a collection of some verses in the Quran alleged to allow intercessory prayers to be made to three Meccan goddesses), Muslims said it made a mockery of their religion which resulted in fatwa (Islamic death sentence) by the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989. Then, in July 1991, Hitoshi Igarashi was stabbed to death for translating the book into Japanese.

In 2004, Theo Van Gogh released his documentary film, “Submission”, which documented violence against women in the Muslim world. This cost him his life as Mohammed Bouyeri, an Islamic extremist, murdered him in broad daylight. And even as you read this, a Dutch member of parliament, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who worked with Van Gogh to produce the film, is under twenty-four-hour protection. Bouyeri, the murderer, was convicted to a life sentence without parole. In a courtroom during his trial, Mohammed Bouyeri told his mother that he felt no sympathy for her because she was an unbeliever.

In 2006, a Danish cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, published a cartoon of Mohammed wearing a bomb. A Somalian fundamentalist broke into his house nearly four years after the publication with the intent to murder him but for the timely intervention of the police. The cartoon was the most controversial of the twelve Jyllands-Posten cartoons of the time.

In 2007 at Unity High School in Sudan, Gillian Gibbons, an English schoolteacher, was arrested, humiliated, prosecuted, convicted, imprisoned, and later deported. And what was her offence? “Blasphemy!” The children in her class named a teddy bear Mohammed. And so, Sara Khawad, an office assistant, filed the complaint and was a key witness in the prosecution. Not even the testimony of one of the school children named Mohammed that the teddy bear was named after him could save the situation.

The catalogue is endless. Everywhere and at all times, the Muslim world is inflamed. In Nigeria, the story is not different. The country had at various times experienced and still experiences carnage of enormous magnitude occasioned by the abuse of the sacred name of the Almighty. Whoever doubts that Prophet Mohammed is an envoy of God cannot be helped. Someday, he will have this truth forced upon him – and perhaps, with considerable pressure too.

But man has shaped, reshaped and twisted divine messages to suit his purpose and convenience, dimming the purity and distorting what meaning that ever was in the “word” to satisfy his ego. This warped view of religion is not only incompatible with the moral code but also contradicts the laws of evidence.

Much as we cannot reduce the import of burning a sacred book, we cannot also rationalize killings in the name of God. When was it ever heard that it is man’s duty to fight for God? When was it man’s place to accept or reject apologies for crimes committed against the Almighty? If we claim to be true servants of God, it must be through a demonstration of true humanity and not otherwise. But at these times, this particular attitude of mankind, of playing contrived roles of divinity, is the most astonishing thing in our time.

Man is held accountable for his actions and inactions through the immutable laws of nature, whether he wills it or not. And so, if a man wakes up and gives to his dog the names of all the gods at once, why should the worshippers at the shrine of those gods lose sleep on the development? At a time in history, the late M.K.O. Abiola ordered the sinking of three million copies of the Bible in the high sea. The container load of the holy book was bound for Nigeria when he used his influence to seize and destroy them. The Christian world did not bat an eyelid. When on August 22, 2011 the Iranian authorities intercepted six thousand five hundred copies of the New Testament Bible and burnt three hundred of them “in order not to deviate [their] youth”, the Papacy did not raise eyebrows and the Christian community did not flare up.

These many deaths and persecutions brought about in the name of Him who is life and peace, to say the least, robs man of his dignity. A rational thinking person would easily see through the falsehood and sham of self-centred truth and must recognize the only truth which is in God and which is God. Intolerance to religious practices is unjustifiable and pictures man’s image worse than he is. At the root of all authentic religious beliefs and practices, love is fundamental – the greatest of all virtues. It conquers all and holds the key to the salvation of man both in this life and in the hereafter. It is man’s duty to pursue peace at all costs and make the world a better place irrespective of creed.

that is yoruba race for you they never stand on the part of truth just like their sectional father awolowo.

one thing with yorubas is that they like celebrating mediocrity. take adekunle for instance, this is the man the praise most times but the same adenkule killed Isaac jasper adaka Boro the man that fought with his people side by side with adekunle to keep this FLEECE called Nigeria as one but he later killed him in other to take the glory.even their almighty regional leader was corrupt because he is the only old premier that enrich himself with public money, and if you are doubting it check Michael okpara and the other northern premier records you will never see a company or property they acquired through direct or indirect means so i think yorubas are the course of Nigeria failure so i don't think abiola or any yoruba man deserve any national recognition after all they prefer sitting on the fence when real men are needed.

point of correction abiola wasn't popular in the East as you are trying to sweet-talk us to believe. because his stuck-up statement that he can do without the IGBOS was his first wrong step to his political demise that led to his incarceration due to his loudmouthed and overconfidence. so i repeat he wasn't a figure in the East he was just an ordinary moneybag that was looking where to throw public stolen money around and the smarter ones got better of him and lied to him that he got the IGBO nation behind him, and as a typical yoruba man he started organizing parties when the victory is not yet assured.

barring phone use is not the problem. the truth is that you lack the technical know-how to lead the eagles, just look how fat you are.how can you handle your players when you cannot even train yourself? happy you are seeing what others saw so you have been given a chance to proof your mantle with nothing to proof upon all the noise about playing the leather game to the highest level. the answer still remains that Nigeria needs a technical adviser that understands the modern game not an opportunist that talk talk talk.we need the era of westerhorf and we can only achieve that with a sound technical adviser and more preferably a DUTCH coach.

Abiola was fighting for his pocket when he got caught and the worst part of it is the inec then wrote self acclaimed winner so he wasn't declared winner as some misguided few puts it so he never won in the first place but lets just sympathize with the family because of the way he was poisoned though there was no concrete proof for that so declaring a day off for his regional few is not much no matter they claims that he was fighting for the common man when we all knew how he sponsored most of the past military coups because of his thirst for power.

i don't know why all the yoruba leaders are all section leaders both old and present and they still ask for national recognition. just saying this because if they don't turn a new leave it will hurt them at the long even if they are not yet already feeling heat.

let me rephrase the post again, i think what Arochukwu in pictures means is not showing us masquerades and social events rather edifices,ancient dwelling houses and modern arochukwu of today and not showing pictures of dignitaries attending social events.please we are still waiting for the pictures because i have not been to that place before though we have things in common as an Abiriba man.

English Abiriba.

how are you? ime aghu or ime aghi

come and eat. bia rie ife

i love you . afumughu enya or ifeghi dim mma

a thief. onye oshi

you are a coward gowon we don't need your explanation.even after ojukwu's demise you are still afraid to stand in his presence.this your last stunt shows that you are the Nigerian number one enemy instead of Dim ikemba you tagged enemy of the state,well we are enjoying the show as it lasts because what goes round comes around gowon,and lets i forget, hope you are defending the nation with everyday massacre of your people in the middle belt? damn fresh air isn't it? but let me remind you that you have missed the last chance of saying sorry to the igbo nation in other to move on as a nation for the pogrom you committed even when you are not the rightful person to take the mantle of leadership.we are watching though it looks like you are afraid of your so call brothers you join forces to fight the BIAFRA sovereignty, because your people are been murdered in their sleep like goat. or are you still planning for strategies? lets see how you can save your own people this time around poor general that murdered innocent unarmed children and women in cold blood.

he is just a glorified opportunist that corrupt present and past government use as plan B to hide their loot in case of unexpected,so their is no big deal about his ratings hence is stolen money.

i think the yoruba nation need to call urgent meeting over this issue. because they have already planned it just waiting for the right time to execute it before this Junaid Mohammed of a guy leaked it.unless you guys want to be butchered like cow in the night.

so sad.rest in peace dear.

is high time you guys man up and stop blaming others for your laziness. i am from OLD BENDE region and i have been waiting to hear any of you saying that we are the cause of your slavery but hence you guys canott confront your fear you will remain where you are till God knows when.but if you need the truth go and ask your forefathers why they sold out just for stock fish and a bottle of schnapps.until then i rest my case losers.

i think is high time we stop this gospel of hate and discord and look for a more positive way to move African race forward.i am an Igbo man from Nigeria and i have never in my life talk down on our brothers in America(Aa's) and don't see any reason why we should be running each other down for no sane reason,though we have our little cultural differences due to many years of separation but we should not try to make a mole out of it anytime something that has to do with Africa is brought up. because anything i call you is what other race will use against me, it doesn't matter the title you add to your own.so lets end this madness in other to move forward.hope am talking to human beings?

is not because they are fun been with or whatever but the gospel truth is that they use jazz on men.period so lets stop deceiving ourselves.

i don't have anything against him but i will like him to prove t Nigerians that he is not a sectional pastor by building one his universities in the south east.
