Femi Fani-Kayode “ I f you thought oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1959, you could pass your high school economics with that information. It was, however, actually discovered 50 years earlier. Did you know that oil from the territory was sold for almost 50 years before the approach of Independence in 1960 forced the disclosure of Oloibiri by Britain? Even at that, the quantities were concealed from the newly Independent Nigerian governments, until the counter coup of July 1966, when the North packed their baggage to head back North in the famous ARABA putsch. The then British High Commissioner to Nigeria, of course on the promptings and direction of his home government, zoomed in upon Gowon halfway and prevailed on him to reverse the decision of moving the North out of Nigeria, at a time Gowon already hoisted the Arewa flag in a temporary capital city, Ilorin . In the hurry to announce this reversal, the Gowon’s speech that was originally designed to take out the North, was...
IGBOS, THE ENDANGERED SPECIE. Any reptile that feeds on the mother hen can never spare its chicks neither can it love them. The natural order of things in the jungle is that the younglings follow after their older kind so that as a tiger pounces on an antelope, her cubs are not just waiting to feed but are also learning how to kill the offsprings of the same antelope too. Enmity is trans-generational. So when a killer reptile starts making some unfamiliar love gestures to its usual prey, there is trouble. No. Danger. Few days after the successful GTbank boycott by the Igbos in protest against the gestapo style invation, arrest and detention of Dr. Chukwuma Ifediaso Innocent, I watched in awe as the Islamic government of Nigeria invited him to Abuja. It was at the FHQ. Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai was there to sign a contract with INNOSON MOTORS and to collaborate with them in building APC's, gun mounted SUV's and some other military maneuver vehicles for the Nigeri...
The glaring video as the evidence of this invasion is at public disposal to see. On the 13th September, 2017, Nigeria military denied ever making attempt to invade the home of Nnamdi Kanu. But on the 14th September, 2017, the invasion was perfected and many IPOB members were seen laying dead as the military shot their way into Nnamdi Kanu's house. It's very obvious that no judge issued any arrest warrant for Nnamdi kanu, because if that had happened, Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer would have been served. As it stands now no one knows the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, his wife, father and the children. Everyone, including Abia state governor whose House is very close to Nnamdi Kanu's house has never made a comment nor even put up effort to stop such invasion even when the Eastern governors have a scheduled meeting on 15th Sept., 2017. All these amount to suspicion that Abia state governor is a collaborator in the military invasion. While we pray and hope that Nnamdi KANU is st...
