Buhari does not have to love the Igbo on augu

File Photo.

There has been a spate of criticism and worry from the Eastern end complaining that President Buhari’s appointments thus far have been lopsided, and has generally ignored the South-Eastern Igbo in large part, and the minorities of the South, to some extent .

The president’s profile of appointments to key military, security, and corporate institutional positions has tended more to be from the North. In a sense, the President has made the office of the president, the face of his administration, a profoundly regional one. The most disturbing to most people was the quick overturning of the appointment of Mr. Nwabueze C. Obi, as the acting MD of the National Maritime and Safety Agency, NIMASA, replaced with Mr. Haruna Jauro in quick order on the orders of the president.

There is on the surface, a very clearly regionalist bent in the president’s appointments so far, which prompted Dr. Ezeife, reportedly, to snap at the president’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu as the new MD of the NNPC – the first of the president’s Igbo appointees.

 “It is not enough!” Dr. Ezeife says. In a multi-ethnic state, such as Nigeria, with a history of distrust, people have come to regard familiar faces and familiar names they can identify as the basis for securing group interests.

There is very little doubt that the Igbo are a very robust group of Nigerians with their own sense of a strategic interest, and anyone who ignores the Igbo does so at really great risks.

 I feel certain that President Buhari knows this too. The Igbo have proven precedence of action, once they choose to create synergy, and common cause. And their impact could be devastating. I will cite four historical examples.

Between 1895 and 1930, with British colonial forays into Africa late in the 19th century, the Igbo put up one of the toughest resistances against British colonization in Africa. While the Igbo fought, some of its neighbors fell in quick order.

For instance, in January 1903, twenty four British officers led a column of 700 African soldiers of the new West African Frontier Force, many of them Hausa, fresh from the Ashanti campaigns, and marched on Kano, and defeated it at the battle of Bebedji. The Emir of Kano, Aliyu, was in flight, while his brother, Muhammed Abbas was installed as a British puppet.

 Emir Aliyu was soon captured, exiled, and locked up in the British military garrison in Lokoja where he died in 1926. The British defeat and killing of Sultan Attahiru, and the Magajin of Keffi, among many in Burmi on July 27, 1903, marked the formal end of the Caliph’s resistance in Sokoto against the British.

Southwards, exhausted by internal rife and the hundred-year civil war following the collapse of Oyo, the Yoruba historian Johnson wrote that it was the Yoruba Obas themselves who wrote and invited the British to come and colonize Yoruba land. Oba Ovoranwen of Benin was quickly defeated by the British and exiled to Calabar, where he too died in exile. 

But the British fought the Igbo for thirty years, in five campaigns from 1900to 1930, until the British forced the High Priest, Eze Nri Obalike, to appear at the Awka Courts in 1930. Historians like Don Ohadike have written eloquently about the Ekumeku movement and the Igbo use of guerrilla warfare against the British.

Meanwhile, the previous year in 1929, Igbo women had driven away the colonial warrant chiefs, imposed on the Igbo by the British. All that prompted, in an attempted to understand the Igbo, the British government under the Colonial Governor-General, Sir Ralph Cameron, to send a series of Anthropologists to study the Igbo. 

One of them, Sylvia Leith-Ross, came in 1930, and wrote the book, Among African Women, with the preface by Lord Lugard. She noted thus in her book about the Igbo: “these people are not intimidated by us, and are rather amused by us. They watch us and learn quickly what we know. God help us the day they climb the ladder.”

By the 1930s, following their work as technicians, tradesmen, mid-level clerks in commercial and government jobs, and artisans helping to lay the North-South Rail lines, the Igbo, had fanned across and settled in what is now modern Nigeria.

From 1937-1957 they had enough national density to mobilize and rally round Dr. Azikiwe, and were the arrowheads in the anti-colonial nationalist movement that forced the British colonialists out of Nigeria. By 1967, finding Nigeria no longer suitable for their collective interest and protection, they staged an exit and declared their own state of Biafra.

 The Igbo remain the only one of the major groups in Nigeria to mobilize an army, create an independent state, and fight in defence of their interests; and they have the capacity to do so again if they feel themselves, and their collective interests threatened. For three years, they fought, and in 1970, exhausted and surrounded, they agreed to a negotiated end, and returned to Nigeria.

But I do know that they did not feel themselves defeated, as elements of the S Brigade under Tim Onwuatuegwu, among whom my uncle, now a Professor of Geophysics, had been trained and prepared to activate the guerilla phase of the war nation-wide should there be need to defend the Igbo in 1970. 

Nigerians should thank General Gowon, and the late MD Yusuf, who made it part of his policy, to absorb key members of the Biafran Organization of Freedom Fighters, into the Nigerian Intelligence Services to tamp down that possibility.

The Nigerian government knew that the Igbo were the only part of Nigeria that had highly trained combatants with field experience who had circulated into civilian life as traders, artisans, students, university professors, civil servants, teachers, and other professionals, and you do not mess with people like that. 

Nigeria gave the Igbo their due up till the middle of the 1980s. I have outlined these simply to suggest that President Buhari, himself a combatant of the last war, knows the Igbo, and that he would not take Igbo interest for granted.

General Sam Momah, once Buhari’s Principal Staff Officer has reminded the Igbo that some of the President’s best friends are Igbo. I do believe him. I also think that this president has a right, indeed an obligation to his office, to choose whomsoever he likes, from any part of Nigeria, to do the job. 

Fair representation is fantastic. But the president is possibly signaling an important message, that these ethnic or regional considerations, should not be at the detriment of competence and trust. The people he has chosen so far, seem competent.

 All we need to do is keep them under scrutiny. What the Igbo should campaign for is that no matter who occupies a public office, no Nigerian, Igbo or not, must suffer discrimination, or be the subject of selective targeting, in the exercise of the function of any office.

 Nice as it might seem to see a familiar face in the picture of the president’s team, I should prefer that the president be pushed more in the direction of influencing more direct federal investments in Igbo land, to alleviate the problems of the high unemployment rate in the region.

The president does not need to love the Igbo, but he must assure them just and equal protection in his government in terms of direct benefit to their wider number. Not to do that will certainly rouse the Igbo to seek justice by all means necessary.

Besides, President Buhari will not be the president forever, and the precedent he sets today, might mean, that whoever becomes president after him, may as well choose his key staff from his region, for as long as they satisfy the criteria of competence, integrity, and fairness in the execution of their jobs. The Igbo should therefore be patient, and circumspect on this matter of the president’s political appointments: let him do his job, with the men and women he can trust to do it.

Why official release of manifest is delayed – Bristow official

The delay in the official release of the names contained in the manifest of the ill-fated helicopter that crashed into Lagos lagoon on Wednesday has been attributed to the need to get consent of the deceased families.

A management source from the Bristow Helicopters Ltd, owners of the crashed helicopter, told NAN on the condition of anonymity, on Saturday in Lagos, that the airline was still contacting the victims’ families.

He said that their client, SEDCO oil platform offshore, was still contacting the victims’ families and would approve the release of the victims’ names in a few days.

“We cannot release the victims’ names without the consent of our client, SEDCO Oil, which is still in regular contact with families of the victims,” he said.

According to him, the withholding of the names was in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Annex 13.

He said also that the airline and the accident investigators lack the capacity to disclose the names on the manifest.

The source, however, called on the public to exercise little patience with the airline and appropriate authorities in releasing the manifest.

“Even though we have submitted the manifest to the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), we will still have to give them the matching order to release it with the consent of the victims’ families.

“You and I know that Bristow would have been ordered to release the manifest because of the investigation the bureau is carrying out and it is something they ought to have because of the nature of their job they are doing at the moment,” he said.

Dr Felix Abali, the AIB Commissioner, had said on Friday that the bureau did not have the power to make the victims’ names public until the airline contacted the victims’ families.

Abali said he was in touch with the airline and would make the names public immediately he received the nod from the airline.

He said that aviation protocol must be observed before the manifest would be released. “The families must be briefed first. It is the responsibility of the airlines to release the manifest, they have to contact the families first before they release it to the public,” he said.

NAN recalls that the Sikosky 76 helicopter marked 5N-BGD crashed into the Lagos lagoon as it approached Murtala Muhammed Airport, in Ikeja.

Six of the 12 passengers on board in the helicopter died while six others were rescued and taken to hospital.

Nicki Minaj's PinkPrint Tour concert in California ends in a fights break out and fans get pepper sprayed

Nicki Minaj brought her Bay area concert to a close on Friday night after fighting broke out and people got pepper sprayed.

The Anaconda singer, 32, played to a packed house at the Concord Pavilion as part of her PinkPrint Tour.

According to a cell phone video shared on social media, Nicki called out over the microphone: 'Stop, stop, stop.'

'This girl that just got sprayed with mace in her face,' she said. 'Come here. Bring her over here. Come here, come here, quick.'

But when she noticed that a number of brawls were taking place and saw a young woman get maced, she stopped the music 

It's not clear what sparked the initial pushing and shoving in the front rows of the auditorium but according to the Music Times, 'concert goers began fighting with each other, causing security to come in and spray those involved in the melee.'

TMZ is reporting that, according to local law enforcement, a 22-year-old man was arrested for assaulting a security guard.

Nicki herself only obliquely referenced the tumultuous end to her performance when she posted a pic from the concert on her Instagram account Saturday.

Alongside the photo of her on stage, the Super Bass star wrote: 'Sold out show in the Bay Area last night ❤️. They were more than turnT... Let's just say that. Lol. Can't wait to see u guys again.'

20 Things You Must Do Before Turning 30

So, before you get to that big milestone age, here are things you should make sure you do in your 20’s, while you still have the time and youthful energy on your side. These list also helps you prepare for life after 30.

Get a degree: Yes, this might be expensive, but it is certainly necessary. Getting the required education and degree is best done in your 20’s before big responsibilities set in and could distract you.

Volunteer: You will spend years and years of your life chasing paper and trying to make more money to fit your lifestyle. But your 20’s is the best time to do something you really want without thinking about monetary compensation. You can help the needy, feed the hungry or just volunteer with organisations that are lending a helping hand. Trust us, it would leave you feeling good.

Work at your dream job: No one knows what the future holds, you might end up stuck in a job you do not like simply because you have no choice. But before this happens, give yourself a chance to find your dream job, even though this might be an unpaid position.

Have an epic love: You hear about that crazy, dysfunctional, passionate and heated love that some couples have and a lot of people do not understand. Give yourself a chance to find this kind of love at least once in your lifetime. It might not last, and might not even make sense to others, but the 20’s is the only time in your life that you can afford to do this.

Make Love: Have you been saving yourself for the right one, then your 20’s is the best time to enjoy what s*x has to offer. Have great s*x, crappy s*x, intense s*x, boring s*x, whichever. You are only young once.

Have a baby: If you are looking to have a big family, then the best time to begin is in your 20’s. This way, you are young , imaginative and energetic enough to keep up with the kids and you have a lot of time to have more babies.

Eat Healthier: There are a lot of health issues that is connected to terrible eating habits. So, before you turn 30, make sure you begin plans to eat healthier and have an all-round healthy lifestyle

Buy Something Expensive: Splurge on one expensive thing that you really love. Be it a car, handbag, shoes, etc. It should be something that you are utterly in love with and would leave you feeling a sense of achievement for years to come.

Forgive Someone: Sometimes, we hold on to some animosity towards people that did us wrong, but your 20’s is the time to let go of this negative feeling so you will be freer to move on. Pick at least one person in your life who hurt you, and forgive completely.

Throw a big party: Another thing you just have to do in your 20’s. Throw a huge party and invite your dearest and closest.

Read/Watch a classic: Before you move into the sophisticated life of your 30’s, do something sophisticated like reading or watching a classic. There are a lot of books/movies (think The Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, Roots) that experiencing them would give you something smart to add to any conversation.

Find a true friend: Friends come and go, but true friends last a lifetime. Instead of surrounding yourself with the wrong kind of people, pick one or two that you consider and believe to be your true friends.

Visit a foreign country: Visit a country foreign to what you are used to. Taste their cuisine, see their sights and enjoy the people, it really is a beautiful experience.

Move out of your parents house: You cannot truly experience life if you are stuck living under the rules and laws of your parents. Move out, get some freedom and be make a few decisions on your own.

Learn useful skills: Your 20’s is the time to learn little skills that will come in useful in life. Learn to change a tire, fix a light-bulb, cook, bake, etc.

Stay up all night: It does not matter what you choose to do, just pull an all-nighter while doing something you truly love. By the time you are in your 30’s you will be way too tired to do this.

Have a one-night stand: It is exciting, exhilarating with just enough risk keep you going for weeks. There is something freeing and sexy about having s*x with someone you know you will never see, or be with that way again.

Fall in love: Not the insane kind of love, but true, mature love. Get into and maintain a true relationship with someone who cares about you and respects you.

Get married: Big wedding, small wedding, no wedding at all, whatever you are into, your 20’s is the best time to take the plunge. This time should be filled with making great memories and having new beginnings, what better beginning is there than finding someone to spend the rest of your life with and proclaiming your love to the world.

Have a friends-with-benefits: Having someone you hang out with and also enjoy sexy time with without the both of you being in a relationship could be a really fun experience. You get the perks of good s*x without the complications a lot of relationship come with. It can be very liberating

So, how many of these have you done?

At 62, Kollington still hot in bed, says young wife

Fuji Maestro Alhaji Kollington Ayinla, popularly referred to as Kebe N Kwara, has always been a big bag of tricks that is as unpredictable, as sweet as the beautiful music he plays.

 In the 1980s when he was at his prime, news of his sexual escapades were always in the air and instead of it bothering him, he actually reveled in it.

25 years down the line, it doesn’t appear he is slowing down as his young wife who now lives with him confessed to one of our reporters that the acclaimed ‘General’ of Fuji is as  hot in bed as ever.

he said reporter had gone to interview the ‘Baba Alatika’ as he is called in some quarters, at his Alagbado residence and found him to be  in good health and of delightful disposition.

 Throughout the interview session, he was said to be of good cheer and took on questions with candour, even though, he took exceptions to answering some sensitive ones which he perceived as sheer effrontery to his private life. 

Nonetheless, he was a consummate host, our reporter claimed he would want to visit him again.

It was while the lively interview was going on when his wife, simply called Hajia showed up clad in the conventional veil the Muslims call Hijab. 

On sighting her,the reporter invited her to join in the conversation but her reply nearly knocked her off the chair she was sitting.

“Please leave me alone for now, Alhaji has just reduced me to near nothing in bed”, she said, obviously revealing they just had sex.

Like a shark, it was a smell of blood to our reporter, who went for the kill by asking her if the Fuji Maestro is still very active in bed at his age.

 “ Please leave me alone, this man can kill in bed. I don’t want to talk about it” she replied and retired into the inner rooms, looking truly worn out.

Lamar Odom has issues with ex Khloe Kardashian dating James Harden', plus she 'plans to hire a bodyguard' after his surprise Ambush.

She was said to have been 'freaked out' after an early morning encounter with ex-husband Lamar Odom and now Khloe Kardashian is looking to hire a bodyguard.

The 31-year-old reality star's new romance with basketball player James Harden, 25, sparked the alleged verbal attack by Lamar as his ex left SoulCycle in Beverly Hills on Wednesday morning, according to People.

'Lamar has been trying to contact Khloé, but she is done and has ignored him,' a source told the publication. 'Lamar has issues with Khloé dating Harden.'

Kim is encouraging her to get a bodyguard. She told Khloé that his behavior is inappropriate, and she needs to nip it in the bud before it escalates,' another anonymous source told People.

'Khloé is in full agreement and they're going to start looking into private security right away. Kim says that there's no reasoning with Lamar right now, so it's better to be safe than sorry.'

What do you think guys, should Khloe Kardashian get a bodyguard to protect her from her ex Lamar Odom ???

Oscar Pistorius will be released next week but will only leave home to attend Church.

Oscar Pistorius will only be able to leave his house to go to church when he is freed from jail next week.
Oscar who is supposed to be a devout  Christian, whose faith is said to have deepened over recent months, must be accompanied on trips to attend mass.

While under "house arrest" at his uncle's home he will be allowed few visitors, who will have to be approved by the court, and someone will have to shop for him under strict parole conditions the Sunday Mirror can reveal today.

There was an international outcry when it was revealed the Paralympic gold winner will serve just 10 months of a five-year term for killing his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29.

During his trial ­Pistorius, 28, was seen clasping rosary beads and intensively reading the book Breakthrough Prayer: The Power of Connecting with the Heart of God, by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church's pastor Jim Cymbal.

He is since said to have been studying the Bible.
His release terms mean he will remain a prisoner in his home ahead of an appeal to have his manslaughter conviction overturned.

A mystery donor is said to have offered to help fund the bid, which could lead to a retrial.
A source on the Pistorius legal team said he has been told his release date will either be August 21, 22 or 23.

The source added: 

"The appeal court can't send him back to prison, they can only order a retrial. Is it impossible? No. Is it likely, also no."

His team say the appeal is based only on a legal issue and nothing to do with the State's initial version that he wanted to kill Reeva and that he has an uncontrollable temper.

Amnesty for looters

A former Chairman of Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service Matters, Senator Aloysius Etok, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to introduce what he termed 'self amnesty programme' for looters of the nation's treasury.

Etok, who represented Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District at the National Assembly from 2007 to 2015, said the idea is to enable those who looted the country's funds from the different sectors to willingly return what is left of their loot.

The senator commended the efforts of President Buhari in tackling corruption.

He said as a senator he started the anti-graft war with pension fund managers that had looted the money meant for pensioners.

Explaining his idea of the self amnesty programme in Calabar, Etok said those who looted the nation's treasury as being gradually revealed by the President Buhari-led administration should be allowed to bring back to government coffers what they have left.

He said

"Let us have self amnesty programme for those who looted the economy. If for instance you have stolen N6 and you have eaten N2, you should be allowed to return the N4 that is left. That should be the starting point."
