Has the creation of IPOB ever been in doubt? Did Nnamdi Kanu ever deny he is not the creator? IPOB was created way before Buhari came to power and Bandits have always been around even before anyone of us was born

No sir
Buhari second term provoked ipob to come out fully just the way gej provoked boko haram
Both bandit and ipob started full operation in buhari regime

Four Golden lessons as an advice from Steven Weinberg:

When I received my undergraduate degree — about a hundred years ago — the physics literature seemed to me a vast, unexplored ocean, every part of which I had to chart before beginning any research of my own. How could I do anything without knowing everything that had already been done? Fortunately, in my first year of graduate school, I had the good luck to fall into the hands of senior physicists who insisted, over my anxious objections, that I must start doing research, and pick up what I needed to know as I went along. It was sink or swim. To my surprise, I found that this works. I managed to get a quick PhD — though when I got it I knew almost nothing about physics. But I did learn one big thing: that no one knows everything, and you don't have to.

Another lesson to be learned, to continue using my oceanographic metaphor, is that while you are swimming and not sinking you should aim for rough water. When I was teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1960s, a student told me that he wanted to go into general relativity rather than the area I was working on, elementary particle physics, because the principles of the former were well known, while the latter seemed like a mess to him. It struck me that he had just given a perfectly good reason for doing the opposite. Particle physics was an area where creative work could still be done. It really was a mess in the 1960s, but since that time the work of many theoretical and experimental physicists has been able to sort it out, and put everything (well, almost everything) together in a beautiful theory known as the standard model. My advice is to go for the messes — that's where the action is.

My third piece of advice is probably the hardest to take. It is to forgive yourself for wasting time. Students are only asked to solve problems that their professors (unless unusually cruel) know to be solvable. In addition, it doesn't matter if the problems are scientifically important — they have to be solved to pass the course. But in the real world, it's very hard to know which problems are important, and you never know whether at a given moment in history a problem is solvable. At the beginning of the twentieth century, several leading physicists, including Lorentz and Abraham, were trying to work out a theory of the electron. This was partly in order to understand why all attempts to detect effects of Earth's motion through the ether had failed. We now know that they were working on the wrong problem. At that time, no one could have developed a successful theory of the electron, because quantum mechanics had not yet been discovered. It took the genius of Albert Einstein in 1905 to realize that the right problem on which to work was the effect of motion on measurements of space and time. This led him to the special theory of relativity. As you will never be sure which are the right problems to work on, most of the time that you spend in the laboratory or at your desk will be wasted. If you want to be creative, then you will have to get used to spending most of your time not being creative, to being becalmed on the ocean of scientific knowledge.

Finally, learn something about the history of science, or at a minimum the history of your own branch of science. The least important reason for this is that the history may actually be of some use to you in your own scientific work. For instance, now and then scientists are hampered by believing one of the over-simplified models of science that have been proposed by philosophers from Francis Bacon to Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. The best antidote to the philosophy of science is a knowledge of the history of science.

More importantly, the history of science can make your work seem more worthwhile to you. As a scientist, you're probably not going to get rich. Your friends and relatives probably won't understand what you're doing. And if you work in a field like elementary particle physics, you won't even have the satisfaction of doing something that is immediately useful. But you can get great satisfaction by recognizing that your work in science is a part of history.

Look back 100 years, to 1903. How important is it now who was Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1903, or President of the United States? What stands out as really important is that at McGill University, Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy were working out the nature of radioactivity. This work (of course!) had practical applications, but much more important were its cultural implications. The understanding of radioactivity allowed physicists to explain how the Sun and Earth's cores could still be hot after millions of years. In this way, it removed the last scientific objection to what many geologists and paleontologists thought was the great age of the Earth and the Sun. After this, Christians and Jews either had to give up belief in the literal truth of the Bible or resign themselves to intellectual irrelevance. This was just one step in a sequence of steps from Galileo through Newton and Darwin to the present that, time after time, has weakened the hold of religious dogmatism. Reading any newspaper nowadays is enough to show you that this work is not yet complete. But it is civilizing work, of which scientists are able to feel proud.

The dot(.) And 5% careless misyarns didn't help matters either

raumdeuter:


Is this different from the position in bold


BokoHaram under GEJ gave the justification to allocation trillions to defence while Dasuki and co share it as spiritual counselling fees to Imams and Oritsejafor while GEJ collected his own part

When did you hear from Shekau last. When the FG was serious Shekau that became Maradona under GEJ was neutralized

GEJ scuttling PDP arrangement was responsible for the escalation of violence by BH - Azazi (Fact)
GEJ and his cronies(Dasuki etc) were profitting from making BH continue to terrorise Nigerians in form of security votes - (FACT)

In other words, we are back where we started

GEJ is Boko Haram and Boko Haram is GEJ!

Long may ur Amala turning stick live

Exactly GEJ cannot exonerate himself from BokoHaram like his NSA said

obainojazz:
I get some of your point…. You’ll barely see those IPOB hooligans in Awka or Onitsha causing wahala.

My bro has been in Awka and is yet to experience any of that.

The issue is uncertainty…. As long as those guys exists, one day they’ll reach where they haven’t previously.

People won’t invest, indigenes out of state will be scared to go back… the drawback plenty jare.

They are now bold and will soon expand their territories like Boko Haram

Nwanne, if you look closely you will see that what's happening is basically a propaganda war between IPOB and the state governments.

iamoyindamola:

So using Maths equation GEJ cancel Buhari

So BokoHaram = IPOB.

2 terrorist organization

And who suffer am pass? Was it not the local populace

Only that one of them is saying their area is actually secure and na skit dem dey do

OasisX:


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

.......raumdeuter! You are a Prophet.

A prophet of doom? 🤪

See below



According to the NSA, GEJ deciding to contest and going against the arrangement of the PDP caused an escalation of the crisis

How is it now GEJ fault.

What have they done to deserve that amount?

liveLongNprospa:
What have they done to deserve that amount?

They won elections to represent their “people” .

Have they not done enough to deserve the money ?

So which is it?
Have we achieved food security?

TEXT OF MEDIA BRIEFING BY MR. DELE ALAKE, SPECIAL ADVISER TO THE PRESIDENT ON SPECIAL DUTIES, COMMUNICATIONS AND STRATEGY ON THE DETAILS OF
PRESIDENTIAL INTERVENTION ON FOOD SECURITY, FOOD PRICING & SUSTAINABILITY ON THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023

Gentlemen of the press, i welcome you once again to this press conference to update the public on President Bola Tinubu-led administration's immediate response to the current food inflation in the country.

As a hands-on- leader who follows developments across the country everyday, Mr. President is not unmindful of the rising cost of food and how it affects the citizens. While availability is not a problem, affordability has been a major issue to many Nigerians in all parts of the country. This has led a significant drop in demand thereby undermining the viability of the entire agriculture and food value chain.

Accordingly, in line with this administration’s position on ensuring that the most vulnerable are supported, Mr. President has declared, with immediate effect the following actions:

• That a state of emergency on food security be announced immediately, and

• That all matters pertaining to food & water availability and affordability, as essential livelihood items, be included within the purview of the National Security Council.

As a direct and immediate response to this crisis, a number of initiatives will be deployed in the coming weeks to reverse this inflationary trend and guarantee future uninterrupted supplies of affordable foods to ordinary Nigerians.

As with most emergencies, there are immediate, medium- and long-term interventions and solutions.

In the immediate term, we intend to deploy some savings from the fuel subsidy removal into the Agricultural sector focusing on revamping the agricultural sector.

In an earlier meeting with Agriculture Stakeholders (today), we drafted a memorandum of partnership between the government and the individual stakeholder representatives that encompasses the decisions taken and actions proposed from our engagements.

The immediate intervention strategies are as follows:

1. We will immediately release fertilizers and grains to farmers and households to mitigate the effects of the subsidy removal.

2. There must be an urgent synergy between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water Resources to ensure adequate irrigation of farmlands and to guarantee that food is produced all-year round.

As a country, Mr. President has made it clear that we can no be comfortable with seasonal farming. We can no longer afford to have farming down times.

3. We shall create and support a National Commodity Board that will review and continuously assess food prices as well as maintain a strategic food reserve that will be used as a price stabilisation mechanism for critical grains and other food items.
Through this board, government will moderate spikes and dips in food prices.
To achieve this, we have the following stakeholders on board to support the intervention effort of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: The National Commodity Exchange (NCX), Seed Companies, National Seed Council and Research institutes, NIRSAL Microfinance Bank, Food Processing/ Agric Processing associations, private sector holders & Prime Anchors, small holder farmers, crop associations and Fertilizer producers, blenders and suppliers associations to mention a few.

4. We will engage our security architecture to protect the farms and the farmers so that farmers can return to the farmlands without fear of attacks.

5. The Central Bank will continue to play a major role of funding the agricultural value chain.

6. Activation of land banks. There is currently 500,000 hectares of already mapped land that will be used to increase availability of arable land for farming which will immediately impact food output.

Well, how many of us maintain the same stances on everything 7 years later?

This 8k is it for Ewa, cassava or Agbado

😩😩

Spy360:
Despite all these ramblings, SE has been largely less insecure.

Which makes IPOB less of a terrorist group compared to herdsmen and bandits yet to be proscribed.

What the SE needs is federal presence not army. Those obeying Simon Ekpa are doing so because of the dream of a better life in an imaginary Biafra. With more federal presence in terms of economic development, no body will listen to Simon or even Kanu.

Bring economic development to SE. Send the army to the north instead if they need combat.

So sitting at home on Mondays is not cause for army?

This thing done pass Monday sef cos I'm seeing people getting killed for not sitting at home from Tuesday to Friday sef.

Keep burying your head in in the sand, you will soon be singing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday like Nines

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday even on Sunday everyday of the week.

GloriousGbola:

Well, some of us think its unreasosnable to grant amnesty to terrorists who killed innocent citizens, burn their villages and kidnap their children for ransome and for forceful marriage.

We thought it was unreasonable then and we still think it is till date.

So politicians are suddenly allowed to "grow" when they are in a party you love? 🤭

Why would you send an army because of civil disobedience?

I gave an alternative which is to ensure economic development in the region like rebuilding federal roads and opening markets.

If you were genuine in your concern which I know you are not, this should be your first attraction to my comments.

I understand that some people just want to see military stretching themselves with easterners not necessarily ensuring peace. They just want to see people being subjugated rather than being set free.

Oga, any person with genuine interest in what's happening in the SE would not send the army as any possible solution. Sending the army will create more tension. Simple.
