The skoskomen republic

Tinubu is a strong man who saw tomorrow when he spoke against buhari in 2003. -saying that buhari is a bigot, agent of destability, but the same tinubu has 3 weaknesses.
1. He is highly egosentric,
2. He is unforgiving
3. He is short sighted.
Adeboye is a great man of God, I respect him a lot. However, he seem not to have sought God concerning Buhari government before giving it full support because of his spiritual son (V.P).
Had Tinubu and Adeboye listened to Afenifere in 2014, to support Jonathan rerun and be guaranteed of implementing the confab report, Things would have been a lot different now.
But they allowed ego, unforgiveness, short sightedness, sentiment and political miscalculation to deny them of farsightedness in avoiding this evil that is erupting this nation today.

This means that Ipob would start arm struggle very soon.

Na wa . These Edo people are insensitive. They called his statement an insult,while a dangote truck was arrested in Edo with arms and ammunition heading the Hausa community there. Instead of fighting nnamdi kanu. Look at latest events in Edo and think.

Hausa try ooo, Hausa no get tribe for kogi, yet, them colonize kogi. Kogi na Hausa word! No wonder them no get national identity, Hausa dey use their star shine!
Adamawa:- hmmm. Fulani na minority yet na Fulani get that town, every other tribe there dey conquered. Fulani worrior wey conquer them name na em them take name the town. Fulani dey use their star dey shine.
Things dey happen o o.

they are after the sea port in lagos, kano does not have. by the time they colonize the sea port in next 50 years, they will tell the south west that the northern land mass contributed to the viability of the seaport and that it was built and maintained by northern money. they may even come up with the idea that they share in the ownership of lagos because the refinery investment of their kano son- dangote.
why is this coming after the south west is being decisive about that atrocities of the herdesmen in south west.

Don't hit her, don't even think of it. Ask God for grace to help you contain your emotions and also pray for her. If you can afford a place, get a place and move. If you cant, look for a friend's place you can go to for some days or weeks just to give her space.

Pray for her always. God will help you overcome.

Location and price please.

Where is the school situated please?

It would be recalled that on the 16th may 2017 the coas warned against a coup plot, telling the military not to romance politicians.

the army spokesperson Brid Gen Usman said the some individuals had been approaching some military officers for an undisclosed political reasons

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Sen. Bola Tinubu has warned soldiers planning a coup d’etat in the country to stop it as they would be resisted.
Tinubu gave the warning at the Lagos Assembly Special Parliamentary Session to celebrate Lagos at 50, Second Anniversary of the 8th Assembly and official inauguration of L-Shaped Assembly Complex.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the army had, in a statement on May 16, warned all officers and soldiers to steer clear of politicians trying to woo them.

Following speculations of imminent military intervention in the nation’s nascent democracy, the British Government on the 18th may 2017 warned of dire consequences should there be any ‘non-democratic’ change of government in the country.
It specifically warned Nigerian Army against “non-democratic” change of government in Nigeria, amid speculations of military coup as fear heightened over President Muhammadu Buhari’s health.
“The British government believes that democracy is actually critical in Nigeria,” the United Kingdom High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright,

A media house-(pointblank) reported that.
Sensing another scenario that would signal the loss of political power and a replay of the latePresident Musa Yar’Adua/Goodluck Jonathan scenario, elements from the core north are allegedly making undercover moves to salvage the situation should President Muhammadu Buhari die in office or resigns due to illness.
Recall that late Yar’Ádua from Katsina State, where Buhari hails from in the North-west geo-political zone, died in office in 2010 after a protracted illness, automatically forcing the zone to relinquish power, following the constitutional provision and zoning arrangement adopted by the then ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), with the swearing in of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Pointblanknews.com checks have revealed a plot by northern oligarchs, using the military to create confusion and ensure that power is retained in the zone.
It was gathered that an army major and Buhari’s kinsman (names withheld), who is a member of the presidential guard, has been given the nod by the plotters to coordinate the alleged putsch.
The planned violence, security sources revealed, would be activated in the event that the president is declared incapable of continuing with the business of governance.
Pointbanknews.com has also uncovered an interesting part of the plot. The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are to be arrested and accused of being part of the plot to poison the president.
The Northern Elders Forum recently declared that Osinbajo cannot replace President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 should anything happen to Buhari who has been abroad for a medical follow-up.
Chairman of Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, said should President Muhammadu Buhari failed to seek re-election in 2019, the North must retain the presidency by fielding a candidate through the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Dr Junaid Mohammed spoke in same vein last week ” one thing I know is that, if Vice President (Yemi) Osinbajo becomes the president from whatever date to 2019, he cannot contest that position again…if we don’t have a remedy for it, it may lead to the breakup of the country. We should be very careful. It cannot be the kind of thing which happened under Yar’Adua whether you call it divine intervention or Doctrine of Necessity. This time around, the concept has to be revisited and those who have lost out twice have to be compensated. Otherwise, there may not be much of Nigeria to think or talk about and our democracy will be gone.”
Pointblanknews.com further learnt that considering the fierce loyalty of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Yusuf Buratai to President Buhari, and Buhari’s sympathy and benevolence to the Kanuri stock as evidenced in his appointments from the North-east geo-political zone, Buratai and his kinsmen are being carefully avoided in the plot.
Unknown to Buratai, Hausa-Fulani officers attached to his office and other strategic army formations in the country are being recruited into the plot. They are expected to neutralise any counter measures to be deployed by the army chief.
Sequel to Tuesday’s statement by Buratai about a subterranean plot to sack the current administration via a coup , it was gathered that the recent redeployment in the Nigerian Army was not unconnected with the alarm.
Just hours after he left Nigeria, Buratai, it was learnt, requested to see the Osinbajo.
At the meeting in the presidential villa, Abuja, Buratai was said to have presented Osinbajo with intelligence that some prominent politicians were hobnobbing with Army officers and soldiers in a bid to compromise them.
Osinbajo, it was gathered, thanked Buratai and said he trusted the Army Chief to put his officers and soldiers in check.
Buratai responded by pledging his loyalty to the Buhari administration and hinted that he would carry out “immediate changes”, to counter any plan to topple government.
Ex Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode said today ” Once he dies the northern ruling class have already decided on what to do.
They will give Vice President Yemi Osinbajo an ultimatum and they will threaten him and ask him to resign.
They have resolved that they will not allow power to go to the south and they will encourage their senior officers in the military to effect a coup.
In doing so they are only doing what they have ALWAYS done when they feel sufficiently threatened with the loss of power. That is their way. And that is the measure of their ruthlessness and determination to hold on to power.
They would rather have a core northern military dictator in power than a southern leader or President.
And they are prepared to kill anyone, no matter how highly placed, who stands in their way or who attempts to oppose or stop them.
The only options that exist if they are to be stopped is, firstly, if someone beats them to it by effecting a “progressive” Rawlings, Orkar or Nzeogwu-type coup of junior southern and Middle Belt officers.”

What is the state of Buhari's health? can he continue as the President in the nearest future considering health concern?

The north could never have given the igbos quit notice so soon, as it would have economical consequences on its region ( northern region).

The only valid motive for this quit notice to the igbos is stop the South westerner from becoming The President of Nigeria using the igbos as proxy for the breakdown of law an order beyond Osibanjo's control for the coup to take place.

Sometimes ago I had a dream I shared with my wife, how war broke out in Nigeria, between the north and the south , instead of the north to invade the old southeastern region, they rather invaded lagos, ogun and osun states.

Should anything happens they will surely invade the southwest ,especially lagos for its access to international waters and protection of Northern investment in it, especially dangotes'. but will sure sieze lagos from the yoruba.

Some yorubas are already asking igbos to leave the west.
It is time for the south and middle belt to become one and resist this emerging Evil!

THE general belief held by most southerners about the North is that the region is not just mainly Muslim, but wholly Muslim. Whenever I meet someone from the South and introduce myself, I am correctly placed as a Christian. But once I am asked my state and I say Borno State, the next question becomes, ‘Are you a Muslim?’ This is despite my name being a very common Biblical name, Mark, which is the second Gospel. Matter of fact, I have been asked that question while attending a church programme, with a Bible conspicuously held in my hands. You could imagine my surprise at that question. This has also been the experience of a lot of friends with common names such as ‘Emmanuel’, ‘Daniel’, etc.
To start with, out of the 19 Northern states, at least five have a majority Christian population: Plateau, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Taraba and Benue. At least six more have at least 40 per cent Christian population. These states include Niger, Gombe, Kaduna, Kogi, Kwara and either Borno or Bauchi. That then leaves only Kano, Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara as having Muslim populations above 60 per cent. How then are we all seen as Muslims?This misconception could be excused when the person has an Arabic name, as there are many Northern Christians who bear names such as Jamila, Habiba, Halima, Sadiq, and Yunusa and so on. But when the person has an obvious Christian name and even attends church services, you really begin to wonder.
Another common perception of the North is that we are all Hausa. My usual response to this is to borrow the logical argument of Simon Kolawole, the Editor-in-Chief of THISDay Newspapers. In an article in which he attempted to educate his largely southern readership base about the North, he went thus:
“If out of the estimated 250 tribes in Nigeria, we can say that the South-West is mainly Yoruba with a few other tribes around Badagry area, the South-East wholly Igbo and the South-South being most diverse in the South with about 40 tribes, that still leaves the remaining 200 tribes in the North.”
How then are we reduced to one single ethnic group, Hausa? It is only the North-West that is close to being homogenous, mainly Hausa and Fulani, but with still some minority tribes in the Zuru area of Kebbi State and the multi-diverse Southern Kaduna. The North-East and North-Central is filled with tribes, many of whom I have never even heard of. For example, Adamawa State is so diverse that the largest ethnic group, the Fulani, is just three per cent of the entire population. In my home state of Borno, there is a local government so diverse that from one village to another, you are likely to meet an entirely different ethnic group. The number of tribes there are so many that we just address the people as ‘Gwoza people’, after the name of the local government.
Even though we all speak Hausa as a lingua franca in order to communicate amongst ourselves as trading partners over the centuries, that doesn’t make us Hausa people as much as communicating English doesn’t make you and I English people. As a matter of fact, in the North-East, Hausa people are a minority and virtually non-existent in the North-Central region.
Now, this is one belief that whenever I am confronted with, it takes me a great deal of self-control not to flip out and lose my temper.
Times without number, when I tell people I am from Borno State, I am asked how come I speak such good English. What the hell? What am I supposed to speak? Arabic? The general expectation is that someone from the North is not supposed to be this learned, this well-spoken and articulate in English, this knowledgeable. I remember when a friend asked me if my mother went to school, and the surprised look on his face when I told him that my mum earned her masters’ degree over 20 years ago. There was also a time when my dad met someone at the Lagos International Airport and they got talking. When my dad told him his profession, the man, in a fit of surprise, exclaimed, ‘I didn’t know that there were professors in the North’.
I admit the fact that the North lags behind the South educationally, especially the North-West and the North-East. But this is not due to our inability to comprehend what we are being taught, but rather due to the incompetence of leadership in the region to give education its premium importance as a form of human development. We, like every other human being on the face of this earth, can excel when given the opportunity. Talent and intellect abounds everywhere. Opportunity, however, does not. I personally know of many northerners who have excelled nationally and internationally. Daily, the story of young men like Ahmed Mukoshy, who is born, bred and schooled in Sokoto, and yet, rose above his environment to become one of the emerging forces in IT in this country in his early 20s inspires me. This is just one example among many that I could cite but for the lack of space.
I find it outright disgusting whenever people claim that if not for federal character and ‘zoning’, no northerner would be able to compete in this country. Last week, I was shocked when a friend said only 10 per cent of northerners in the Federal Civil Service deserved their places on merit, and went on to add that if he had not known me personally and I were to get a job with the Federal Government, he would believe that I did not earn it on merit.
The most ridiculous one I encountered was when earlier this year, former Minister of Finance, Dr Mansur Mukhtar was appointed a World Bank director. Most of the commentators on the 234Next article announcing this achievement for this Nigerian and Nigeria made the ludicrous assertion that the appointment was done to please the North, that Dr Mukhtar did not merit it. Little did they know that Dr Mukhtar had worked at the World Bank and the African Development Bank, prior to his heading Nigeria’s Budget Office on the invitation of the then and present Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and former World Bank Managing Director, who also recommended him for the post of Finance Minister when she rejected former President Umaru Yar’adua’s invitation to join his government. What is even worse is that they did not care to know: their minds were already made up and could not be confused with the facts.
Another common belief among southerners and most especially spread by southern newspapers is that the entire 19 Northern states act and think as one when it comes to issues of Northern politics. This is one of the biggest untruths about the North. Whenever northern Nigeria is mentioned, the people of Benue, Kogi and Kwara states do not feel it refers to them. Geographically, they are part of the North; politically, however, they and the entire Middle-Belt act independently. This can be clearly in the last elections where President Goodluck Jonathan won in 7 Northern states, even against his strongest opponent, General Muhammadu Buhari, who is a northerner. This was something I am sure a lot of people in the South, save for the political savvy, did not see coming.
One common sight of this perception being entrenched by newspapers is when politicians of Northern extraction speak on national issues. I have innumerably seen a washed-out Northern politician, without any influence or popularity speak regarding an issue, and the next day, newspapers carry bold headlines saying, ‘North rejects this’ or ‘North plans to do that’, quoting the same washed-out politician as speaking for the entire North. I have rarely seen a Bola Tinubu speaking and being quoted as the mouthpiece of the entire Yoruba ethnic group, or a Chief Edwin Clark for the Ijaw people. Methinks this is a way of selling newspapers by capitalizing on the image of the North as one single, political force which moves in a particular direction all-together
Admittedly, as people of the same region, we share a lot in common culturally and socially in the general terms: our mannerisms, modes of dressing, traditional titles (apart from paramount rulers with the exception of emirates), etc. Despite that, the Jukun in Taraba and the Kataf in Kaduna are very different in the specifics, as even the Bura and Marghi people of Borno/Adamawa States. To pick the attitude of one ethnic group in the North and attach it to all the others, is to put it mildly, a very short-sighted way of knowing and understanding the people of Northern Nigeria.
Another belief in the South is that the entire North is but an empty landmass with nothing but trees. I remember the controversy of the 2006 census when Kano State was said to have a slightly higher population than Lagos State. Many of my southern friends called it ‘an impossibility’. In the words of one of them, ‘Lagos is so populated that when you throw grains of rice into the air, they wouldn’t land on the ground, but on people’. However, they all forgot to factor in land mass, because Lagos State is a much smaller state than Kano State, and hence has the highest population density in Nigeria, hence making it look as though it was way more populated.

its not about refinery, it's about nikel found in jema'a southern kaduna! that is the real reason for this latest ethnic cleansing.

are the herdsmen above the law? if he had paid them to stop the killings, that means he knows them, could he not have arrested them? for them unprovoked killing is not a crime but chanting of biafra and bombing of oil installation is a crime.

kaduna refinery is in southern part of kaduna, most of the industies are in southern part of kaduna wiping them out is an agenda to control the political and economic lives of the southern kaduna people.

The day crude oil was found in south south nigeria, the north which is controlled by sarduana ideology: ( new nation called Nigeria should be an
estate of our great grand father, Othman
Danfodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change
of power. We must use the minorities in the North
as willing tools and the South as conquered
territories and never allow them to rule
over us or have control over their
future. ” (Sir Ahmadu Bello October 12, 1960) ).
perfected plans to control the resources in the southern part of nigeria as long as nigeria remains one.

2016 the kaduna state government, announced that it has discovered a natural resource called NIKEL in southern kaduna LGA of jema'a which is a Christian part of kaduna in commercial quantity.
Suspected Fulani herdsmen have unleashed
another attack in Misisi, Kaninkon, Jema’a local
government area of Southern Kaduna, killing the
village head and six others.

the fulanis has been armed to wipe out the original settlers of southern kaduna in what they called ethnic cleansing Just to have control of the trade of nikel.
