It is a joyous moment for the authorities at Yankari Game Reserve in Bauchi state after an exciting discovery was made on Monday (yesterday). A leopard was recorded wandering by a WCS camera-trap at the game reserve. According to officials, leopard had not been recorded at the game reserve for decades as they were presumed to be extinct.

Here's the solution below:


THE IGBOS AND THE YORUBA 'COLD WAR'; A CASE FOR SOUTHERN UNITY:

By Charles Ogbu

"Power is like a shadow. It resides exactly where men who are under its control think it resides"

The above is true with regards to the situation of Southerners in the Nigerian experiment.

We think the Fulanis are the ones that have been holding power and because we think and believe so, it actually look so. Because of this assumed knowledge, we hand over our destinies, our future and those of our children to a people who are not above 11 million, have little or no education and contribute little or nothing to the national pulse.

What if I told you that the real power rests in the South and with southerners but that the mutual distrust and foolish superiority contest between Igbos and Yorubas is the biggest obstacle to wielding this power? This senseless feud between these two Southern giants is also the biggest enabler and promoter of the fulani Oligarchy.

The southern part of Nigeria owns the oil which feeds the entire country. Without the oil today, there is no economy and there is no Nigeria. The same south controls the commercial sector of the economy. The media is still owned and controlled by the South.

When a people owns the only thing that is feeding a whole country and still control commerce plus the media through which people's thoughts and opinions about anything can be shaped and can equally boast of the best human resources, what else does it take for such a people to wield power in such a country?

Unity!

The few fulanis who have been running this country directly and indirectly since independence, what do they have?

Unity!

When the fulani Oligarchs want to achieve an aim, they effortlessly find a way to get every northern minorities such as Christians and middle Belts on their side even when they almost always end up discarding these same minorities and even killing them once the aim is achieved.

Now, ask yourself: how have the fulani Oligarchs managed to turn the entire Nigeria into an 'Animal Farm' with them as the only "Napoleon' despite their low education and the fact that all the prerequisites/bargaining chips for acquiring and wielding power are domiciled in the South??

Igbo-Yoruba 'cold war'! This, right here, is the answer.

The day the two biggest southern ethnic groups --The Igbos and The Yorubas --decide to put a stop to their needless bickering and channel all their energy towards confronting their common enemy --the children of Danfodio--, that is the day the Fulani Oligarchs will understand that even though the king is the one with the crown, he is nothing without the kingmakers and the people.

The Fulanis are not runing Nigeria because they are smarter than others. Far from it. They are messing with the destinies of over 180million people because the two Southern big brothers with the wherewithal to end their murderous reign of impunity are busy chasing rats while their houses are afire.

I am no historian neither do I pride myself as a man of letters but I know for a fact that the biggest weapon of the fulanis is neither guns nor bombs. Their biggest weapon is their ability to identify their opponents' weak points or even create one where none exists, magnify it and use same to create division amongst them just so they would effortlessly implement their Divide And Rule tactics.

Sadly, they have succeded in using this weapon against Southern Nigeria's two biggest ethnic groups.

Throughout history, all the wars and woes visited on both the Igbos and the Yorubas all came from the fulanis. There is no record of ethnic clash between these two humane southern Nations.

No time has these two people ever disagreed violently.

Strangely, the mutual suspicion that exist between these two great peoples seem far greater than the one they harbour against their common oppressor, the Scions of Danfodio.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned Awolowo and killed thousands of Yoruba youths who protested the unjust imprisonment for days in different Yoruba cities in 1963. It was the fulanis and the killing was done by another fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari, who was the then platoon commander, 2nd infantry brigade, Abeokuta. That same year, Buhari was gifted with double promotion on the same day by the govt of Tafawa Balewa.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned many Yoruba leaders, forced others into exile and killed others like Abiola after annuling his presidential victory.

It was not the Igbos who attacked Yoruba citizens in Lagos neither was it the Igbos who desecrated Yoruba cradle of civilisation, Ile-Ife by cutting off the head of a Yoruba citizen and parading it along the street, thereby sparking off a bloody ethnic clash that ended in the arrest of only the Yorubas including an Oba by the fulani president and his fulani security agents.

It is not Igbo herdsmen that kidnapped a yoruba son, Chief Olu Falae and have been going about terrorizing and killing Yorubas in Osun, Ogun, Kwara etc with govt-sponsored impunity.

On the other hand,

It wasn't the Yorubas that killed thousands of Igbos in the 1945 Jos pogrom and 1953 kano pogrom.

It was not the Yorubas who slaughtered millions of Igbos in the North after the first 1966 coup.

It was not the Yorubas who jailed an Igbo son, Alex Ekwueme who was only the vice president while the president, Shehu Shagari, a fulani, was left in a cosy apartment in the govt house. It was a Fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari who did this in 1984 after overthrowing the then govt in a coup.

Was it the Yorubas that is holding Nnamdi Kanu? Or was it the Yorubas who rained bullets and acid on hundreds of Igbo sons and daughters praying inside a school field in Abia state on Feb.9th, 2016 and those remembering their Biafran heros inside a church in Onitsha on May 29-30, that same year?

Is it Yoruba herdsmen that have been killing, maiming and raping villagers in Nimbo, Nsukka, Awgu Bende Council etc, all in Igbo land?

Today, even Jack, my two day old puppy knows that Nigeria CANNOT work as presently constituted. It was the rejection of the Aburi Accord by the Fulani Oligarchs which would have restructured Nigeria as a Confederation that led to the Biafran war. Today, the Yorubas want a restructured country. The Niger Delta want the same thing. The Igbos want Biafra BECAUSE Nigeria has refused to restructure.

Who are the only people resisting the call for restructuring, thereby holding everyone to ransom? Your guess is as good as mine.

Dear Yorubas and Igbos, what exactly are you dragging?

Why have you refused to realise that you have a common enemy, a very ruthless common enemy who have kept you busy fighting among yourselves while he's busy ruining your future and that of your unborn generation?

Can you not see that your siblings; Ijaws, Urhobo, Edo, etc are all looking up to you for that 'big brother' leadership and direction?

Can't you see that the fulanis are not really the problem? You are! Your disunity is!

You have no reason to be fighting.

Was it not a Yoruba man, Lt. Col Fajuyi, who chose to die with his visitor and commander-in-Chief, Thomas Umunnakwe Aguyi-Ironsi, an Igbo man, rather than give him up to the Hausa/fulani soldiers on 28th July, 1966?

Was it not an Igbo man, Odumegwu Ojukwu, who released Obafemi Awolowo from calabar prison and sent a squad of Eastern Nigerian policemen who escorted him to Ikenne, Ijebu, his home town?

You pride yourselves as the two most educated people in the country, yet your best brains have been reduced to playing 2nd fiddle to the Scions of Danfodio who are mostly without even a secondary school certificate.

In 1979, it was one of the best Igbo brains, Alex Ekwueme, playing 2nd fiddle to Shehu Shagari.
In 1983/84, it was Idiagbo playing 2nd fiddle to a Buhari who had no certificate.
In 2015, it is a Yoruba professor of law still in political purgatory under the same fulani-born Muhammadu Buhari who has now acquired a certificate........NEPA bill certificate.

Ojukwu is dead. So is Awolowo. And since I was born, Igbos and Yorubas have never killed each other. How about we put the gory stories of the war behind us and save ourselves and unborn children from this danger that is staring us in the face?

It is always the descendants of Danfodio doing all the killing, all the subjugation and slavery and we, the entire south have always been the victim.

In a nutshell, Charles Ogbu is simply saying that the Igbos and the Yorubas should channel their energy towards confronting their common enemy. You can join forces to fight a formidable enemy and still remain ethnically patriotic to your respective ethnic groups!

timunstopable:
A lot of people dont know what is going in arepo

Ijaw bois ve been staying in arepo for years

They are the ones being used to go to the water side where the pipeline of NNPC is... a lot of kilometres into the bush

U know ijaw and anything water na friend

They go by boat from residential area in Arepo.

They work with co-operation with Police, Nscdc, Soldiers

Police get their cut, Nscdc their cut few soldiers
are also involved

Bt it is mainly the Police and Civil defence that these bunkerers settle

The bunkerers are notified by NNPC sources when fuel is pumped thru the pipeline.They then strike put them in different 50litres kegs .The ijaw bois them bring them from the waterside to the middlemen who then distribute to sellers who are mostly yorubas, ijaws, resident, even landlords .Different cars come to pick up

Opc from ibafo came down to exercise their authority on the recent contract awarded to them

Opc caught the ijaw bois unaware both at the water side and sone streets in arepo

one of the women shot is also a bunkerer bt the news wont tell u that. (Ijaw &yoruba women also involved nothing innocent abt those killed)except the damilola that was killed in this story I cant verify she is also a bunker

BT I am 100% sure every other casualties are all bunkerers


Ijaw bois regrouped with spears, cutlass, jazz and even automatic weapons and faced Opc

residents close to the scene of the event had to flee the scene

I feel Opc wants to exercise their authority so as to become a force also .So that if they create fear theu can also be collecting tax from the bunkerers


believe u me the whole system is involved in the bunkering .From Oba of arepo down to some members of Resident association down to Dpo down to Nnpc down to civil defence

it wi take a lot to stop this menace more than Opc

u need a separate task force straight from the presidency that will come with soldiers and must be men of intergrity

police cant even face these people face to face cos they ve compromised

The lady is innocent. She is a lawyer.

Jlow2:
we hav police, civil defence, army, navy, and airforce yet gej gave contracts worth billions of dollars to criminals, touts n hoodlums to guard pipelines, if ppl say gej is clueless its an understatement, he is unfit to be lga chairman and naive, thats why he was scamed of 2trillion naira in the name of supportin his relection, he is a DISASTER!!!!

I know this area very well. There is a permanent police team on ground to check vandalism, the army has been in and out, and the NSDC makes a show of coming to control the menace every once in a while, unfortunately, none of them has been effective. They don't even try to attempt to stop the 'business' anymore. Anytime any of this "trained" forces attempt to stop it, people die. The vandals would come en-mass out of the creeks, shoot indiscriminately and vandalise the police outpost to protest the interference. The case of the 13 ? policemen and NNPC engineer killed in the same place about two years ago is still in court. So, that the unfortunate incident happened not because it was the OPC. Even the police people fled when this was happening.

Yes, it is not good to use ethnic militia to handle the statutory functions of the security forces. There is a high tendency of this degenerating to inter-tribal war, as OPC is Yoruba, and most of the vandals are described as "ijaw". But the unfortunate fact is that the organs of government with the statutory duty to protect this pipeline has not shown enough evidence that they should be trusted...it should not have degenerated to this level

The truth is that Fayose owns the copyright here. Unlike the others, he has always done it and even now that he has won the election, he still stops by in a buka to eat.

Why do people assume that every thing is about money? Anyway, he also met with Yoruba Council of Elders and other interest groups, so there is no point casting any particular tribe as mercantile simply because they met with Jonathan.

- EFCC and ICPC are dead.
- Police have become weapons to frustrate opposition.
- Using N670m to buy gold iphones.
- Projects are being completed at extortionate prices.
- Sheppopotamus lying to the public while using their money to go abroad for public treatment not available to common Nigerians.
- Sheppopotamus trying to use $26m to build a talking shop for her and her other useless fellow first ladies without any results.
- A president that sent Sheppopotamus to go and welcome and rejoice with a man just released from prison for corruption.
- Vice President wanting to build a residence for $100m.
- No infrastructural development, just looting with friends.
- A president that refused to declare his assets.

Hello Php developers/Webmasters. I'm looking for somebody who understands x-cart and can integrate it with interswitch.

Pls respond.

I wish Deenee would stop confusing issues. The aquisition of bad loans is a separate and concluded transaction. AMCON has spent about 220 billion on that already in intercontinental, to acquire about 340 billion bad loans. In fact, if we add that to the 550 billion they now want to inject before selling for N50 billion, we will be talking about total investment close to N800 billion! Dancewithme has said it all- if Access is buying a bad bank, let them pay N1 for the assets and liabilities and fill the purported N550 hole themselves, otherwise I maintain they are buying a completely restored 330 branch bank for N50 b at taxpayers expense.

deenee:

Please let’s get it right. AMCON has not inject equity into these banks. Though, it has the power to do this under the jurisdiction of the CBN, what it has simply done is to acquire eligible bank assets(loans and advance) as stipulated in the AMCON act. I have attached a link to the AMCON 2010 act below for further guidance.

Thank you!

http://amcon.com.ng/AboutAMCON/CorporateOverview/MissionVision.aspx

Exactly. It has the power to do so, and that's what it is about doing as outlined in the various schemes, and that's the basis for all these turenchi - if AMCON must invest, as a public institution, we ought to demand that it gets commensurate value for the publics interest, not put in 85% and come back with 15%!!!

deenee:



Thank you for the response. However, I think that is expedient to understand what has transpired during the whole deal whilst opining that the analogy you have used re the nationalised banks does not add up. These banks were nationalised because even with the fresh injection of funds, there were still ‘ regular borrowers via the CBN ‘extended discount window’ and no ‘rational investor’ would touch them with a ten foot pole. More so, allowing them to become bankrupt (which is what would have happened if they were not nationalised) will just send another round of  ‘shock waves’ through the entire financial system and jeopardise the possible acquisition or merger talks underway.

At the’ point of sale’ or during the transaction implementation process, Intercontinental had more non-performing assets than liabilities hence the hole you have described herein and a very BIG one for that matter!

You also say that they should sell their buildings- who will buy them? Who has purchased the building of hitherto distressed banks like Liberty, the defunct National bank, All States Trust and others?  AMCON is not ‘Father Xmas’, so saying that AMCON has paid off the ‘liabilities’ (which should be called ‘assets’ in this regard) is a statement that should be given some afterthought! AMCON has only filled the ‘hole’ created by bad management/corporate governance at Intercontinental et al. and this has just been done temporarily. Have you bothered to ask yourself why the nationalised banks didn’t attract any investors?

Finally, Intercontinental is not ‘great’ again as put forward by you simply because the 550b non performing loans have be transferred to AMCON. What will make then great again is if they are able to make ‘real profit’, sustain it ,reward investors/ shareholders accordingly and trade at a reasonable market price. More so, the injection has only made the bank a ‘tenable investment worthy of consideration’ and 50b, paid by Access is perhaps the best offer it could get based on the current valuation (market price of stock on the exchange and assets-bear in mind that these ‘assets’-building et al. depreciate and lose their value as they ‘wear and tear’ whilst some are not even marketable) and a lot of other extenuating factors. But then again, this is a topic of discussion for another day!

I find your insistent assertion that no investors would touch the Nationalised Banks very curious.Check this headline "15 investors storm AMCON to buy nationalised banks"

Read more:http://www.gbooza.com/page.html#ixzz456 http://www.gbooza.com/group/bankingjoblisting/forum/topics/15-investors-storm-amcon-to-buy-nationalised-banks#ixzz1af8ujUY9

And I know this is no hype! We also have friends working in the Corporation.

The issue of "hole", weather big or small is not relevant to this transaction. To quote Access bank, "AMCON has completely de-risked the balance sheet of Intercontinental Bank". You may not know, but they do!

The bank, without the "hole", is great, and with a good management, (not undertaker committee as emplaced by CBN), that bank will make profit and pay dividends.

deenee:

The whole merger process is very valid. There is one point that we are all missing here; what is the current market price of Intercontinental shares now vis-a vis three years ago?

The price that Access will pay for the stake acquired in Intercontinental will be by and large determined by the current market price obtainable, hence if we are to go by this, Intercontinental would be sold for 'peanuts' compared with what what Access has put on the table! I am sure you will all agree that Intercontinental, like most other banks are trading at an all-time low. Also, the stake provided herein by AMCON cannot be converted ‘equity’ as some as suggested herein as it is meant to be a 'provisional investment' meant to create liquidity which has dried up due to the large number of NPLs most of these banks presently have in their books!

The process is valid indeed (lol), except that all the outputs are wrong.Thank God you also mentioned "the large number of NPLs most of these banks presently have in their books" - and that includes Aig and Herbert's perpetually restructured non-performing N16 billion loan in Intercontinental's books. Isn't it so nice they are profiting from this default?

What AMCON injected does not need to be converted to equity - it is equity. They promised to recover this by selling their holdings later. No core investor is scheduled to pay back any dime - go check the documents.

This thing has many "corner-corner". Please have a look at process defects as outlined by capital market operators here http://proshareng.com/news/15122 (Union Bank) and COMMENT - Issues in Banks' Recapitalisation EGMs - http://proshareng.com/news/15066
