A. it's like you're underestimating the power of social media the evidence is daring and you still have the shame to support nonsense.

B. don't you think that Buhari is creating an anarchy government for himself and you expect pdp to just silently goto court without raising alarm isn't that dumb of you to think so?

C. don't tell me shut up next time

...guy shot the hell up.....was the last dss boss non partisan...oh marilyn orgar or whatever the spelling of her name is wasnt partisan.....keep wailing

Omenkata:


will you say this if it's Gej?
for Christ sake and for our conscience sake let's for once call a spade a spade with bias mind remember this is supposed to be an independent body.
your hypocrisy is just damn stinking it's better to keep mute if you don't know anything to say rather saying trash.

....

see this demented and degenerated mugu.....its simple...if you have a case go to court ......
so the last one wasnt partisan abi....oh you must have forgotten what happend to ekiti and osun state elections....foo*ls....Infact
if buhari dosnt rig the 2019:elections to thr favour of his party then he is the bigest fool ever...so u think the guy should be fsir...maybe u should ask the wailing party pdp if they were..

barcanista:
The DSS is part of the Civil Service like other Security Agencies. No member of the service are supposed to be linked with any political party. The loyalty of the DSS boss is to the Nation first because he has constitutional mandate. The position of DSS is not like the NSA or Ministers. It is a shame that Buhari is bent on soiling the reputation of the service in the name of partisanship.

...
hrt attack want kill ds guy.......oh..the last one wasnt partisan abi...maybe you,ve forgotten what the dss did in ekiti and osun state elections.....youre to matured to be this bigoted

helpee:
While i rarely reply quotes, i must inform you that the trio of obama, joe biden and clinton ran the most divisive democratic presidential campaign in the history of democratic party in USA. So, if you must know, joe biden contested against obama in 2008 presidential campaign . In order to bridge the gap, obama chose joe biden as vice president and when they won, chose clinton as secretary of state so obama and biden were very much in opposition

my freind tell your pple to learn hw to play politics without bitterness....tell them to learn how to love the progress of other tribes and not to put your eggs in one basket...nd you should stop comparing nigeria with usa...if u blive the us has an advance military nd economy than nigeria then you should know that their democracy and ours would be different....other wise you can keep wailing....#wailing wailers go nd dieeee

jelal007:
#Yawns........wailing wailers. When Ihejirika was COAS,why didn't u complain? Its pathetic how people continue to peddle ethnic jingoism in d society (same tin dat brought GEJ down). Is it by appointing people 4rm ur place that matters? Or our focus should be good leadership? Let's ponder pls.

INTROVERT:
Well spoken. I don't think much will change after all the President has said on live tv that he won't treat the various regions in the country fairly based on "rlectoral votes" which if truth be told is very undemocratic, myopic and callous. Just like the examples given in the write up of "true" democracies in the world. GMB and APC are further eroding the trust and belief that we can coexist as one country in peace.


I must however add that despite all said GMB is a man of intergrity and even though the SE might not get many political offices as many have pointed out that in GEN administration many appiontees where of southern extraction. This north south east west divide will eventually break Nigeria and lead us to ruin because a house divided among itself cannot stand.

story story...as i have said b4 nd i would say again....if the igbo entity are tired of nigeria..they can declare independence and let the nigerisn army do the needfull...all this noise no go reach anywhere....come to think of it...i taugth the wailing wailers dont accept anything from SAHARA REPORTERS ......oh i guess this a special case...SMH

What i have noticed about the south south people is the fact that they are smart and matured on national issues unlike the warlords nd war losers of Sumtin.East.....no wonder despite their minority they were smart to produce a president unlike the other one that calls it self *one of the three major language nd yet....it has not produce a politician with a national strenght nd recognition

argon500:
Despite elaborate efforts to sweep it under the carpet, facts have shown that a strategic alliance agreement between the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited Limited (AEDCNL) has helped parties in the agreement to swindle the country. After wide-ranging investigations, Assistant Editor ADEKUNLE YUSUF uncovers the details of the deal that set back the country by about $2b.

It is an adventure laced with shoddiness. That perhaps is the most fitting silhouette for the Strategic Alliance Agreement (SAA) between the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Nigeria Limited. From all available documentary evidence, the SAA, which paved the way for Atlantic Energy to operate some oil blocks during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has left the country short-changed of about $2billion, excluding hundreds of millions of dollars as bank loans and money owed to workers and contractors. After four years of the alliance, everything suggests that NPDC and Atlantic Energy owe Nigerians a lot of explanations regarding how some oil blocks – OMLs 26, 30, 34, 42, 60, 61, 62 and 63 – were handled between 2011 and 2014, including outright theft of proceeds from all the millions of barrels of crude oil lifted during in the four years.

A portfolio company

Like a well-choreographed movie, it all started on a measured pace. On July 19, 2010, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Limited (AEDCNL) was incorporated as a portfolio company. That was barely three months after Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, former Minister of Petroleum Resources, assumed office after her redeployment from Mines and Steel Development Ministry. Curiously, the company changed its name to Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited (AEDCNL) on October 27, 2011. However, Atlantic Energy, even without prior record of successful experience in the oil and gas sector, announced that it had entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (SAA) with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) in April 2011. That was exactly six months before AEDCNL was legally born. In a capsule, the company that claimed to have signed the SAA with NPDC was not legally in existence when the deal was shoddily consummated in April 2011. As unknown portfolio company, Atlantic Energy was operating from a temporary office accommodation before it opened office in 2012 at 32a Adetokunbo Ademola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, after the NPDC fortune had smiled on it. With the NPDC contract in its kitty, Atlantic Energy embarked on a massive recruitment exercise, poaching good hands in the oil industry, which it used to actualise its planned scheme to play big in Nigeria’s highly shady oil and gas sector.

But all that never dissuaded partners in the deal from embarking on a hot business romance at the expense of the country. The SAA covered 4 Oil blocks: OML 26 – FHN; OML 30 Shoreline; OML 34 – Niger Delta Oil, and OML 42 Neconde, all sold by Shell /Agip and Total. It was obvious that the NPDC granted the SAA in absolute secrecy without following any due process as stipulated in the government procurement laws and policy. With the sale of the four oil blocks, in which the Federal Government owns 55 per cent, the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), which oversees national investments in Joint Venture Companies (JVCs), Production Sharing Companies (PSCs), and Services and Services Contract Companies (SCs), transferred the ownership to NPDC as the upstream producing arm of the NNPC. Although the NPDC should have paid NAPIMS a signature bonus, no payment was made, leading to a loss of asset by the federation and loss of revenue that should have accrued to national coffers. This was confirmed by the recent PwC audit report, which audited remittances from NNPC to the Federation Account after the allegations by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who is now the emir of Kano. The audit findings showed that remittances into the Federation Account were not up to date.

An unholy alliance?

The SAA is to enable Atlantic Energy provide fund and technical services and lift oil. Being a funding mechanism, the SAA is meant to enable the owner (NPDC) to accept its strategic partner (Atlantic Energy) to partake in the production sharing of the oil field at a fee called signature bonus, while the strategic partner is expected in return to fund the operations and provide technical support so that it can be reimbursed directly from the production in subsequent periods. Although a good idea that is said to be critical to the survival of the country’s oil and gas industry, the SAA was obviously not managed in the national interest, for it has helped parties in the deal to embark on a stealing spree of public fund after production liftings.

Up till now, industry watchers are still in a shock over how NPDC, which is peopled with some of the best engineers and technical experts, granted the SAA to a company that paraded no track record of requisite experience in the sector – all without following any process as stipulated in the government procurement laws and policy. Besides documentary evidence, findings within the sector showed that the deal was an unholy arrangement between Alison-Madueke, top NPDC officials and the duo of Kola Aluko, who is a known business ally of the ex-Minister, and Jide Omokore, a controversial business mogul who is a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, financier and kingmaker to some governors as well as many senators and members in the House of Representatives. Aluko and Mrs Alison-Madueke have denied any business ties.

NewTable New1Of the two promoters of Atlantic Energy, Omokore had no easily traceable previous experience in the oil and gas industry, while Aluko had.

However, drawing on its connections in high places, Atlantic Energy swung into plum business, having won the hearts of those at the helms of affairs – from the ministry and the Presidency. As contained in the SAA document, Atlantic Energy was supposed to pay a signature bonus of $245 million to NPDC, but it ended up paying $135 million – no thanks to legal terminology and simple mathematics that only parties in the deal could explain. The balance was remitted to the account of unknown people.


What should have gone to Nigeria
Inside the raw deals

Atlantic Energy approached two Nigerian banks for loans. Going by the books of Atlantic Energy, the loans were meant for the payment of signature bonus and cash calls to NPDC. Therefore, in 2011, it took a loan of $490million, with First Bank contributing $370million and Skye Bank $120million. At the beginning of the deal, Atlantic Energy actually paid the signature bonus of $135 and cash calls of $68 to NPDC from the loan, totalling $203 million out of $490million lifeline provided by the two banks.

But another weighty, if not damning evidence that was to expose the shoddiness of the SAA came in the early life of the deal. In 2011, shortly after securing the juicy contract, it was NPDC that lifted crude oil (947,096 barrels) on behalf of Atlantic Energy and remitted $102m into the coffers of its strategic partner; instead of Atlantic Energy to lift oil and remit proceeds. Why? It was because Atlantic Energy, a mere portfolio company at the time it was handed the sweetheart contract, was still too new and untested to even secure an export permit for such a venture as at the time, thus showing the level of involvement of the top echelons of the Petroleum Ministry and NPDC officials.

A detailed scrutiny of the cash calls schedules and other papers also showed that the plundering galore continued till 2012 and 2013. For example, in 2012 alone, Atlantic Energy paid cash calls worth $168m, but lifted crude oil of about 3million barrels valued, conservatively at over $350 million. Despite the differentials in remittances, NPDC continued to look the other way as Atlantic Energy lifted about 2million barrels of crude oil in 2013, valued at about $240million, but paid cash calls of $68million. In 2014, records also revealed that Atlantic Energy paid zero cash calls and lifted about 500,000 barrels of crude oil, valued at $54 million, with all the funs siphoned abroad as payments for vendors sources say are phony.

Table2Again, the promoters incorporated the Atlantic Brass Development Company Limited on February 5, 2013. As usual, it was hurriedly granted another set of SAA. The SAA covered another set of 4 blocks: OML – 60; OML – 61; OML – 62; OML – 63. Unlike in the previous deals in 2011 and 2012, when it paid a fraction of obligatory funds, the company simply pocketed all the proceeds, paying pay no signature bonus or any cash calls at all despite lifting about 8 million barrels of crude oil, valued at $800 million at the time. Instead various amounts of money were transferred to the accounts and investment companies in UK, Dubai and Switzerland. They also opened mirror accounts of Atlantic Energy Brass in the UK and Switzerland (see the table on foreign accounts).

However, with the fall of the administration of Jonathan, the chicken seemed to have come home to roost, as the NPDC, which seemed to have condoned all the infractions of its strategic partner, has suddenly woken from slumber. In a letter from NPDC, dated May 6, Atlantic Energy was asked to pay its outstanding indebtedness OMLs 26, 30, 34, and 42, totalling $573,668,090 (five hundred and seventy three million, six hundred and sixty eight thousand, ninety dollars).

“This is to inform you that we have not yet received any payment on outstanding cash call obligations after our reconciliation sign-off, dated August 28, last year. Kindly remit the sum of $573,668,090 (five hundred and seventy three million, six hundred and sixty eight thousand, ninety dollars) only, being amount due to OMLs 26, 30, 34, and 42,” said the NPDC.

An analysis of the reconciliation sheet revealed that the $573,668,090 was just a fraction of the cash calls, as some huge returns that were yet to be subjected to technical and financials by the two parties were not included.

But the bad state of finances on OMLs 26, 30, 34, and 42 paled when compared with that on OMLs 60, 61, 62 and 63 where Atlantic Energy owes NPDC a staggering $1,250,644,474.54 (one billion, two hundred and fifty million, six hundred and forty four thousand, four hundred and seventy four dollars).



“This is to inform you that we have not yet received any payment outstanding cash call obligations after our reconciliation sign-off, dated August 28, 2014. Kindly remit the sum of $1,250,644,474.54 (one billion, two hundred and fifty million, six hundred and forty four thousand, four hundred and seventy four dollars) only, being amount due on OMLs 60, 61, 62 and 63,” the letter said.

Atlantic Energy has also defaulted on the bank loans from First Bank Plc and Skye Bank. Instead of moving the proceeds of the liftings to the two banks to repay the loans and pay the obligatory cash calls, Atlantic Energy has transferred the funds through various related party companies. As at now, the loans have not been paid while the mounting interest element is also long overdue.

In a letter from Skye Bank, dated April 10, Atlantic Energy was reminded of repayment its outstanding obligations ($39,232,428.16) on the $120 million loan facility it took from the bank.

“Kindly refer to our various correspondence and discussions regarding your outstanding obligations on the above subject facility ($120 million). This is to remind you that the total sum of $39,232,428.16 plus accrued interest is past overdue for payment on your facility,” the letter said.

The letter was signed by Tutu Alu, manager, corporate banking group, and Tosin Faniro-Dada, relationship officer, corporate banking group.

Another letter from First Bank, dated February 20, tacitly refused a request from Atlantic Energy seeking to restructure the loan facilities it has received from the bank, hinging it on some stringent conditions.

“We refer to the meeting held on 19th February 2015 and your request for a restructure of your facilities coupled with lenders’ consent to change the ownership structure of Atlantic Energy. We wish to state that, even as we are mindful of the set timeline, we are constrained to progress your request further until we receive the following documents: (1) copy of the executed NPDC/Atlantic Energy reconciliation, (2) copy of executed NPDC repayment plan, (3) addendum to the SAA, (4) NPDC consent to the restructure of the company.”

The FBN letter also included the following conditions that must be met before considering Atlantic Energy’s request: “provision of standby Letter of LC to secure crude oil liftings, and payment of all overdue obligations, coupled with the injection of $100 million to reduce exposure to lenders.”

The letter was signed by Deji Abisola, business manager, corporate banking group (energy and utilities), and Jide Ayeronwi, group head, corporate banking group, (energy and utilities).

Also, in spite of the billions of dollars it has enjoyed over the years, Atlantic Energy has not filed its accounts with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) as stipulated by law. Using an influential lawyer, who sources said is the company’s legal backbone, Atlantic Energy has continued to hold on to the legal advice that it is not liable to tax.

In a letter from FIRS, dated February 17 , Atlantic Energy was warned of the consequences of its refusal to submit the accounts and returns within the next ten days. It was signed by the duo of Okeowo Taiwo, and Ocheja E.F., FIRS’ manager (tax) and deputy manger (tax) respectively.

It reads: “It is worrisome to note that we are yet to receive the draft accounts/returns as promised. Let me remind you that the accounts/returns are long overdue for submission. You are advised to submit the accounts/returns within 10 days from the date of receiving this letter, failing which FIRS shall enforce compliance with the relevant tax laws.”

Transfers, cash withdrawals

Sadly, a company that could not meet its financial obligations was on a spending binge, with its directors living ostentatiously (owing private jets and armoured jeeps) and transferring huge sums – sometimes in billions and millions of naira and dollars – into accounts of both local and foreign organizations. And if the local transfers raised some red flags, so were the numerous transfers of millions to foreign accounts (see a table on foreign accounts) of Expedia Marine Company Limited, Energy Property Development Ltd, Petrochemicals Offshore, SPOG Petrochemicals Limited, Premium Aviation Services Ltd, Ibalex Nigeria Limited, and numerous others, where funds were paid at different times.

Interestingly, Atlantic Energy is enmeshed in huge debts – albeit self-imposed. But it seems the embattled company is not ready to go down alone. Not only has it closed its office, it also did not pay its staff for more than one year. It has equally defaulted in the payment of workers’ pension and PAYEs, leading to a mass resignation crisis that swept the company even before it closed its shop recently. Even business partners were not left out, as Atlantic Energy, which kept booking flight tickets and enjoying services from international and reputable companies, did not meet its obligations to its numerous clients, wrecking havoc on several businesses. Now, Atlantic Energy owes NPDC about $2billion, banks $550million, workers $5million, and other vendors $20million. This explains why the banks as well as NPDC appear helpless, as Atlantic Energy is frantically looking for investors to buy the company and the massive debts to boot.

The Nation learnt that the promoters of Atlantic Energy are negotiating a soft-landing with some people that are very close to the corridors of power with a view to refunding a paltry amount. Their stratagem is to sway the new administration to avoid the “unnecessary controversies” that a probe may generate so that they can be asked to go and sin no more. As part of a grand strategy to achieve their objective, some foot soldiers have been enlisted, including some highly-placed Nigerians, to reach out to President Muhammadu Buhari to strike a deal on their behalf, fearing that any inquiry into the books of NPDC and other agencies in the highly opaque oil and gas sector will most likely unearth a can of worms. Will President Buhari, who is widely revered as an incorruptible man, allow them to walk away free after what seems like clear financial crimes against the country? Time will tell.

I am not talking about what happened during the civil war, I am talking about things that happened before war broke out; things that caused the war, I am talking about the 1966 NORTHERN POGROM. Google it.

There was no war when the pogrom was carried out by northerners against the Igbos.

Was there war in 2011 when northerners killed people just because Buhari lost a presidential election?

The north is synomous with killing of innocent people at any slightest national political disagreement and if u say it is good and also insist that northerners are right to carry out the 1966 pogrom against Igbos, then I can only wish you and your tribe the same fate by nature.

I rest my case

keep dreaming. the north and the yorubas can nd will never go against each other....maybe youve firgtten we have indigenous yorubas in northern states...come to kogi and kwara....part of niger state....but if you the igbos mess with us...all the igbo for north go entrr river kaduna as we dont have lagoons...bt the crocodile infested river kaduna will be ok for them

ChikezieU:
, really, now that the Notherners are occupying the key positions, and down playing others what is your take on that.
A historian should also know that history is not written just for the weak of memory, but that the past occurrence should not repeat it self. Nigeria is expired.

really.......oh..you mean the last 9 appointment done by PMB less than 2 weeks ago....one must be dement*ed to compare the two....as i said earlier in some thread ago..*if THE IGBOS ARE MEN ENOUGH..STOP THE SOCIAL MEDIA WAR AND COME OUT OPENLY DECLARE INDEPENDENCE AGAINST THE NIGERIAN STATE...AND WE WOULD USE THE OPPURTUNITY TO REDUCE YOUR POPULATION SINCE YOU CANT LEARN FROM HISTORY...YOU CAN ALSO START BY LEAVING NAIRALAND AFTER ALL...IT IS A FORUM FOR THE NIGERIAN LAND NOT BIAFRA......ASS*HOLES

No he wasn't. He actually stopped the coup in Lagos, seeing as was also listed to be killed by the coup plotters. Another thing you don't know is that Ojukwu stopped it in the East too. So these are the men who saved Nigeria then; Ojukwu and Ironsi.

That said, I liked to ask what Sardauna and T. Balewa did when Igbos were butchered in the streets of Kano in 1953? You see Northern Nigeria keeps shouting about their leaders who were killed while Igbos keep asking who asking why their brothers were also killed and those leaders did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop it. In fact Sardauna actually made remarks which may have fuelled the crisis further. So for all you who clamor for heads to roll remember the 5 thousand that did in Kano and the North went soundly to sleep after.

mr man...go nd read your history first.......those crisis came as a result of the killings of the northern leaders...and the injustice faced by the northern pple in the federal civil service....anyway if you feel the death of northern leaders were justified..then you ve faced the consequences of it...stop complaining

Taylor86:
While Osibande was busy taking pictures with Chalk foundation

meanwhile they left buhari, saraki, atiku,IBB and other known political muslim's

just to bomb the longer throat pastor-turned-politician

Boko-haram is Anti-christ the bible talked about

and their supporters will forever suffer memory lost and tongue twisting

una wan kill Osibande so that a northerner will emerge as VP that will succeed the president

to think that 14 pple actually liked your comment is heartbreak...the level of the low IQ of this wailers is becoming alarming...may God give them common sense

Kimoni:


Chizoba, the bolded is why single men get discouraged when it comes to courting single mothers. They guy was not part of your decision to have a child outside wedlock, so why do you want to make it a condition for you to love and settle down with him? That's very selfish in my opinion.

If you choose a good man in the first place, he will naturally be civil towards ur child and loving ur child as his own would be an added bonus and it's something that you would expect yo happen over time and not be a precondition for you to love or date him. That's why people will always end up with pretenders because they set unrealistic goals for their partners.

Looking out for a man that will shoulder your responsibilities as well as that of your child is the biggest scam ever. I would run far from any woman that tells me so. See, I am up for a man taking care of his wife and family 100% but when you start forcing the responsibilities of your love child on him, then, maybe, you are not looking for love but a maga. If a man will take such responsibility, it should come natural to him just like loving the child should too and not because you imposed it on him.

And guess what, men are usually not bothered about this stuff, once they love the mother, they find it easy to love and treat all the kids alike. Women are usually the one who discriminate against their husband's love children or step children. The most important thing for you is to attract a good man and the goodness in him will be transferred to your child but making this as a condition for love reveals you are the selfish one in your relationships. Pls don't do that.

All the best as you get a great guy!

...
best advice so far...OP should take note of the last paragraph

emmatok:


Unlike removing the wedding ring, which she failing to ask why.

Discussing your marriage with you Ex is not mistake but total betrayal.

Giving food to another man your husband don't like is not a mistake but a sign of cheating.

Will you be here defending the woman if you realize the other man she's feeding is you husband?

It is easy to chat on NL, but it the real world thing are different.

.....
God bless ds guy...atlast some one is been realistic.....the guy is too gentle for my liking sef

Dyt:


I am glad you said you are not matured enough

story...story....you want to eat you cake and have it abi
...single mother looking for fresh blood in this era of young ladies every where....my dear we have to be realistic......no make love movies deceive you...
which young guy will want to marry a lady with children..nt a child oh.....to be sincere if the O.P IS really searching fr love which is good cuz @ 35 she is still very much young and i dnt xpect her to stay alone..life is to precious to spend it alone..it should be in a matured man 40 nd above or a single dad like her.....if she goes for any guy below 35..it wont last oh..forget maturity..it wont last unless youre willing to share

Mutendiwashe:

It will always be easy for any 12year old child to come online and give advice on marriage when they have never been in a committed relationship before.

Marriage comes with its ups and downs and if you always think of getting off the next bus stop everytime an issue arises be ready to do the same with the next 5 or 6 women you will marry.

Show me a perfect man or woman and i will show you the world's biggest liar. Too many imperfect people expecting a perfect spouse.

This is something that can be worked on my being more open in the relationship. How can a person remove his ring and still expect the other person to be 100% perfect when they have given that person a million reasons to mistrust or grow distant from them.

To freelance777 if your excuse for removing your wedding is not either because you are allergic to the material or it was too tight, i would say you created reasons for your wife to find consolation in other people. You need to sit down with her. If her removing her wedding ring affected you this much, dont expect your removing your wedding ring to have done anything less to her.

Find the root of the problem and fix it. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Perfect women do not fall from the sky especially for an imperfect man.

...

are you saying the woman has the right to do all she did because he removed a wedding ring....anyway..the dude is to gentle for my liking...yeah marriage comes with it ups and downs but HABA cooking for your Ex...chatting with him even aftr its clear he has motives....The guy most be pathetic not to react

Omenka is not Igbo. He has never claimed to be. People from north central also bear omenka. He is only a useless musulimi ab0ki apologist That loves screaming "wailing walams!" all over the place. He is disgraced to whatever tribe he belongs to and a gay too(I can prove this).

hmm..how old are you ?..you talk like an 18 yrs old...or maybe the brain is 18yrs matured...

OfoIgbo:
Ndigbo ibem I hope you don't get carried away with this petty position meant to spite the SS.

Why didn't he sack NW or NE person and appoint an Igboman in his or her place, afterall his first 15 or so appointments have favoured mainly those two region?

Let Nwabueze assume his position, but we must put this appointment into perspective. It is simply a ONE STEP FORWARD ONE STEP BACKWARD sort of appointment, and let me use this opportunity to console my SS brothers who have been cheated by Buhari, in this appointment.

Buhari also played the same game when he appointed two SS individuals as service chiefs at the expense of any SE-ner. He was obviously looking to pitch Ndigbo against the SS but the bait was not taken

a typical village igbo man that would never be satisfied until he is killed...i keep saying and i would say again..if you guys so much hate nigeria proclaim independence from nigeria ..leave the south south out of it...and we would endeavour to reduce your number again since you cant learn frm history...i tire for this pple....so the right person for a job should be removed bcuz the igbos should be satisfied abi....go and die bl*oody nit*wit
