Please go check 2006 Census figures an see for yourself that the Middle East is least populated in Nigeria despite being home to one of the two largest single tribes. You need to go back to JS one to learn the difference between population and population density. Your explanations above would earn you an F9 were it an examination. If Landmass is inconsequential then why trying to grab the South-South Benue and parts of Kogi into your Biafra rather than go it alone? Haven't you ever seen Kanu's map version? The coup was an Igbo coup not by the composition of the planners but by the ethnic composition of the victims. Who and who were assigned to Adegboyega to kill? Mention just one. Nigerian Census figures are manipulated. They are as good as tissue paper. I'd rather look at stats from JAMB, WAEC as well as Unity school enrollment stats and Colonial population estimations which Ndiigbo had always topped. No one is trying to grab anyone! Referendum had always been the key word! But I understand, why you see expansionism in everything, seeing as you come from a blood sucking empire that her expansionism plans were put on halt by the British. Why should I listen to what an inconsequential person has to say and not on what the coup plotters themselves had to say? Your question is irrelevant! 3 Likes |

Deadlytruth: What superiority do you speak of? Enugu is Igboland. It doesn't exist in isolation. Your Edo is a minority amongst minorities and are many places behind Igboland in all aspects of development. WAEC list just came out. Edo is still behind Abia and Anambra! Here is unity school enrollment stats: outh East: Abia – Male (130) Female (130) Anambra – Male (139) Female (139) Ebonyi – Male (112) Female (112) Enugu – Male (134) Female (134) Imo – Male (138) Female (138) South South: Akwa-Ibom – Male (123) Female (123) Bayelsa – Male (72) Female (72) Cross-Rivers – Male (97) Female (97) Delta – Male (131) Female (131) Edo – Male (127) Female (127) Rivers – Male (118) Female (118) South West: Ekiti – Male (119) Female (119) Kwara – Male (123) Female (123) Lagos – Male (133) Female(133) Ogun – Male (131) Female (131) Ondo – Male (126) Female (126) Osun – Male (127) Female (127) Oyo – Male (127) Female (127) Edo could only beat Ebonyi in the entire SE Like I said before, You are no match for Anioma, let alone the entire SE. By the way, your AAU first state university claim is bogus, considering that it was established in 1981, the same year as Abia state University. While ESUTH formally known as ASUTECH was founded in 1980! 3 Likes |

pazienza: You obviously lack knowledge of the difference between founding and establishing. AAU was built and began to function before ESUTECH. Go figure. On the WAEC statistics: Performance figures across all categories of schools are generally not a true reflection of the intellectual prowess of the states due to examination malpractice culture which is known to thrive briskly in private secondary schools of the SE. A more accurate idea can however be got by limiting the sample space to Federal Government Colleges which are known for zero tolerance to exam malpractices. Find Below the WAEC 2016 FGC statistics in which Edo leads the pack........... Punch Newspaper. Performance register for the 104 Federal Government Colleges: 1. Federal Government Girls’ College, Benin, outshined the others with 230 of its 232 i.e. 99.14% pupils getting the university admission yardstick. 2. Federal Government Girls’ College, Kazaure came second with 98.10% 3. Federal Government College, Rubochi, came third with its 146 candidates out of 156, i.e. 93.59%, beating the university admission yardstick 4. The Federal Government Academy, Suleja; FGC, Okigwe, and the FGC, Nise, came fourth, fifth and sixth respectively. 5. FGC, Ijanikin, which occupied the seventh position in the rankings, emerged the best in the state with 357 out of its 387 candidates - 92.25% 6. Occupying the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th positions are the FGC, Okposi; FGC, Ikole-Ekiti; FGGC Efon-Alaye; FGGC, Minjibir, and the FGC, Jos, in that order. Unity schools are not the only schools in existence, so your use of their statistics alone is misleading. States with high Unity Schools enrollment obviously lack alternative schools relative to others. Moreover it is the total number of enrollment for WAEC that can be relied on to know which state has the least incidents of drop out along the way. Find below the 2016 WAEC enrollment figures for some states: WAEC Registration 2016: State Registered Candidates Lagos 141, 963 Oyo 78,896 Ogun 75,944 Kano 62,511 Edo 62, 327 Abia (SE) 52, 801 Anambra(SE) 46, 385 From the above it is clear that most students in the Middle East drop out before getting to SS3. It also lends credence to the credibility of 2016 census in which the MIiddle East came out least. 2 Likes |

pazienza:Interview with Major Nzeogwu By Max Siollun on February 20, 2008 13 Votes Nzeogwu Another nugget from Nigerian history. This is the text of Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu’s famous interview with Dennis Ejindu in May 1967. This interview took place just before the start of the civil war. It is probably the most detailed question and answer session with Major Nzeogwu. Enjoy…. Ejindu: I am glad to meet you, Sir. How would you feel if you knew that you are being regarded as a hero? Nzeogwu: Very pleased naturally. But the truth is that I am not a hero. If there was any famous Major Nzeogwu, I have never heard of him. Ejindu: It is rumoured that you have just finished writing a book, what is it like? Nzeogwu: Good gracious! Ninety-nine per cent of all the stories you hear in this country are false. I have not written any book because there was nothing to write about. You can only write about a finished job. It would have been a useful means of warding off boredom though, but one did not do it for the fear that the authorities might seize the papers. However I had enough time to make detailed notes on what happened, and one might use them if in future there was any need to write something. Ejindu: Before you went into prison, the cloud was so clear above this country that one could see very far into the future. Now that you are out, what do you see? Nzeogwu: A job very badly done. If I may borrow your metaphor, the atmosphere is admittedly somewhat cloudy. But I don’t think there will be rain. Indeed if you look steadily up you will find that the sun is not yet set and might still peep through. The trouble is that people generally can’t tell which is a rain cloud and which is not, and as a result they tend to be confused. As you know there is too much bitterness at present in the country, and in the past people had imagined that they could conveniently do without one another. But the bitterness will clear in the end and they will find that they are not as self-reliant as they had thought. And they will long to be together…. The .same applies to the Northerners. It may take ten or fifteen years for them to come together again but there is no doubt, as far as I can see, that they will. You see, in this world of imperfection, it is sometimes very difficult to capture the ideal. But we can, at least start with the second best. Ejindu: What is the second best? Nzeogwu: A Confederation. Ejindu: Before I come back to that, may 1 take you back to January, 1966. What exactly happened at Nassarawa (the premier’s residence at Kaduna) on the night of the 14th? Nzeogwu: No, no, no; don’t ask me anything about that, I don’t want to remember it. Ejindu: All right. A lot has been talked and written about the January coup. But how tribalistic was it really in conception and execution? Nzeogwu: In the North, no. In the South, yes. We were five in number, and initially we knew quite clearly what we wanted to do. We had a short list of people who were either undesirable for the future progress of the country or who by their positions at the time had to be sacrificed for peace and stability. Tribal considerations were completely out of our minds at this stage. But we had a set-back in the execution. Both of us in the North did our best. But the other three who were stationed in the South failed because of incompetence and misguided considerations in the eleventh hour. The most senior among them was in charge of a whole brigade and had all the excuse and opportunity in the world to mobilize his troops anywhere, anyhow and any time. He did it badly. In Lagos, even allowing for one or two genuine mistakes, the job was badly done. The Mid-West was never a big problem. But in the East, our major target, nothing practically was done. He and the others let us down. Ejindu: You must have anticipated that Gen. Ironsi would let you down in the end. Why did you surrender to him the way you did? Nzeogwu: I was being sensible. The last thing we desired was unnecessary waste of life. If I had stuck to my guns there would have been a civil war, and as the official head of the Army, he would have split the loyalty of my men. Again, you must remember that the British and other foreigners were standing by to help him. Our purpose was to change our country and make it a place we could be proud to call our home, not to wage war. Ejindu: It has been said that Gen. Ironsi set out to complete your job for you. Was there anything you did not like in his administration? Nzeogwu: Yes, everything. First he chose the wrong advisers for the work he halfheartedly set out to do. Most of them were either mediocre or absolutely unintelligent. Secondly, he was tribalistic in the appointment of his governors. Thirdly the Decree 34 was unnecessary, even silly in fact. Ejindu: But you wanted a unitary government? Nzeogwu: No. Not a unitary government as such. We wanted to see a strong centre. We wanted to cut the country to small pieces, making the centre inevitably strong. We did not want to toy with power, which was what he did. Ejindu: Tell me, what do you think of him as a soldier? Nzeogwu: I am afraid I cannot tell you that. But I will say that as a person he was very well liked and as the Supreme Commander, his orders were promptly carried out. Ejindu: If he joined the Army as a gunner, he must have progressed as a military strategist? Nzeogwu: Yes, if he had, he could have done so. But he actually joined the Army as a tally-clerk and was a clerk most of the time. Ejindu: From the present chaos, what type of Nigeria do you envisage? Nzeogwu: In the first place, secession will be ill-advised, indeed impossible. Even if the East fights a war of secession and wins, it still cannot secede. Personally, I don’t like secession and if this country disintegrates, I shall pack up my things and go. In the present circumstances, confederation is the best answer as a temporary measure. In time, we shall have complete unity. Give this country a confederation and, believe me, in ten or fifteen years the young men will find it intolerable, and will get together to change it. And it is obvious we shall get a confederation or something near it. Nothing will stop that. Ejindu: Do you think there will be any war? Nzeogwu: No. Nobody wants to fight. The East which is best equipped and best prepared for war, does not want to attack anybody. The North cannot fight. And Lagos cannot fight now. If they had attacked the East in August or September, they would have had a walk-over. Today, I think they will be ill-advised to try. Ejindu: An Englishman said to me the other day that the best thing Ojukwu can do is to take over Lagos. Do you think he can do it even if he wanted to? Nzeogwu: Yes, I think the East is strong enough to do it if they want to. But it will serve no useful purpose. It can only serve to destroy life and property. You see, the effective power does not lie in Lagos but in Kaduna, and if you remove Gowon somebody else will take his place. If you capture the South against the North, all you can achieve is civil war, disintegration and border clashes. Ejindu: Finally, let me come to the controversy over your release. Much as it has been a popular action you have been released by the east government against the wish of the federal government. What do you say to that? Nzeogwu: All I can say is that I am happy and grateful to be out. We feel grateful to the Nsukka students for their persistent demand, and to the boys in the barracks for their pressure on the authorities in the east. And to the Nigerian public in general for their concern over our welfare. Those were the words of one of the very few honest and sincere particpants confirming a tribal execution pattern by the South by Ifeajuna and other Igbos. 1 Like |

FYI Ekiadolor was an over 25 years old College of Education upgraded to a university just two years ago. It is on the left hand side when you are departing the outskirts of Benin to Lagos. Edo University was built afresh and completed by the administration of Oshiomnole. You can check google for the ongoing admission. Evidence University (private) was awarded licence three years ago. On your way from Lagos to Abuja it located near the boundary between Edo and Kogi but in Edo. Please do your research well before you argue. 1 Like |

Re: 10 Most Developed Local Government Areas In Nigeria-opinion by Deadlytruth(m): 5:36pm On Mar 18, 2017 |
legislatively:is accreditation the same as license award? A university is given licence not accreditation. Accreditation is for courses being offered. It begins to happen after the university has taken off and each time the university adds a new department. An old and already existing university like Unilag may decide to add a new department today and will therefore call on NUC for accreditation of that course. It is of no use engaging you because you don't even know the differences between some fundamental concepts relating to the establishment and administration of tertiary institutions: Take a look at your blunders 1. A technical college can't be upgraded to a university 2. I have never heard of Uniben, AAU, AP, BIU. Then later, "I know them all as secondary schools" 3. A university that is not accredited can't exist. I only engage people whom I believe I can learn from. Thanks and bye. 1 Like |

For him to have stated as such could only mean that tribal considerations later came in thus the reason why they ended up leaving their own Eastern Region unattended to. Why finding it difficult to apply here the philosophy and logic you took in 100 level assuming you ever saw the gates of a university? So logical deductions are the same as conjectures?
