Nigeria Advances to Semi Finals a proof that Federal Character does not WIN Football matches as Nigeria advances with its best team thanks to gutsy BIG BOSS Stephen Keshi

		Yes there is no Obafemi Martin, no Osaze Odemwingie, no Yakubu  but its the BEST TEAM for Nigeria and the team is still as diverse as it can possibly be . Federal character is a mediocre method that does not win matches . It ensures Hausa , Yoruba , Igbo  are reprented in a team almost equally without being the best team Nigeria can produce. Over the years this foolish idea has continued to hunt Nigeria and has never stopped leading to below average perfomances. Some coaches have tried to toss this aside and when they did it produced result , talk of Clarence Westerhof,  a highly successful Nigerian Coach from Holland and  by all indications he did not believe in that and resisted power Lobbyists in the then NFA who wanted to select the teams for him. He took Nigeria to the Quater finals of that Worldccup in 1994. Many others who followed soon fell to the huge powers behind Federal character selection in Nigerian football. Big Boss Stephen Keshi has towed the footstep of Westerhof by selecting the team himself and taking responsibility of the results. This bold move has yeilded results for him as we all saw today against Ivory Coast. Just last week we all read an ethnic Bigot by name Tokunbo Aremo Odua, who was ranting about team selection being dominated by more of Eastern Nigeria names, he did not however congratulate the Nigerian team on beating Ethiopia 2-0 , so what do you say to such educated illiterates ? We congratulate Stephen keshi and his Boys for a job well done against over rated and Over confident Elephants of Ivory coast  !

 

Emmanuel Emenike is mobbed after scoring

Tournament favourites Ivory Coast crashed out of the African Nations Cup at the quarter-final stage after they were beaten by Nigeria at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.Emmanuel Emenike gave the Super Eagles the lead just before the break and although Cheick Tiote equalised early in the second half, Sunday Mba's deflected effort won the game for Nigeria, who will now face Mali in the last four on Wednesday.

 

  His name is Sunday Mbah, he won it for Super Eagles.

 Sunday Mbah.

He plays for a local Nigerian team, Warri Wolves.
Activist" Tokunbo Aremo Odua Complains That $30k Match Bonus to Eagles Unfairly Benefits Igbos

A so called "activist", Tokunbo Aremo Odua, who happens to be an ethnic Bigot has complained that the $30,000 match bonus giving to the Super Eagles for winning their match against Ethiopia is against the Federal Character principles as it enriches the Igbo nation to the disadvantage of other players.

Tokunbo said because most of the players are of Igbo origin the dole out is unfair.

The activist’s post is reprinted below verbatim;

 

 

 

Nigeria Police vows to, "unravel the mystery behind the floating Unidentified Bodies found in Anambra River, No community in Anambra State has reported Missng persons..so far !

"The unidentified bodies is now  been perceived by many as victims of extra judicial killings by government security agencies".

 

Just because it was dumped in Anambra state does not mean its from or by Anambra people or state. Chicago in USA has the highest gun crimes in USA but the toghest gun laws because the neighboring states like Indiana dumps the guns there by selling  guns like Popcorn with no identification. A teaching lesson for Ethnic Bigots in USA to think before they rant...

                                       In what looked like prolific actor Kunle Afolayan's water acrobatic display in the making of multiple award winning movie,"Figurine", forty(40) bodies where found floating in Amansea community, along the border of Anambra and Enugu State. The unidentified bodies has been perceived by many as victims of extra judicial killings by government security agencies. As usual, government officials and the Nigeria Police had vowed to, "unravel the mystery behind the floating bodies", one can only be skeptical of what they can truly unravel when the country lacks basics numerical statistics of how many we are. Everybody just dips hand into their vault of assumptions and peg the nations population between 140 -160 million!

Even the last population census conducted in 2006 to arrive at 140million was greatly flawed with irregularities and baseless hype of figure to earn cheap political advantage, which is more motivated for selfish reasons rather than selfless for nation building. The result witnessed no specific departure from what 1991 census threw up, with Muslim northern states accounting for over half of the country's official population 140m . Laughable as it may sound, Kano's population was more than that of Lagos. While a sizable number of citizens were not enumerated at all. So on the long run, the 2006 population census was a sham, shame and surreal!

Since Federal-State allocations are absurdly based more on population, land mass than on equality (equal shares per state), social development, and revenue generated, one could easily visualize what warrants the distortion of rare population facts. We are just one nation that benefits from distortion of basic facts. Government enslaves us with it while the citizens makes sure it never gets better, that's why a president would lie to the world that power(light) has improved when we still sleep for weeks in darkness. We lie about our income, expenditure, poverty rate, social service, National identity cards and everything one can think of. That's why combating crime still remains as elusive as tracing the source of a rainbow, but something needs to be done. Why would human bodies turn water hyacinth and security operatives be so clueless of the cause?

Though surrounding villages in Anambra and Enugu have claimed none of their members are missing, one irrefutable fact is that, the Nigeria government lacks grounded mechanism to identify her citizens either living or dead. The records are not just there. Take it or leave, those bodies are sons, brothers and fathers of Nigerians. And if they are immigrants, do we have their details? Our borders are so porous that you can ship a 20 truck loads of human beings in if you know the right Custom and Immigration officers to pay. Our attempt to identify citizens can only be told in the tales of former Internal Affairs Minister, late Sunday Afolabi's saga. Over $214m was committed into that National ID card project. All those who stood trial along with Sunday Afolabi are today national award holders and still living large at tax payers expense.

Personally, I hold no faith in the story that might later spring up in respect of the floating bodies (if there would even be any) but I do hope this would be the last of such shameless lack of responsibility on the part of government and security agencies. Government needs to step up the ante of surveillance through a bio-metric data base with central and state control boards. This data base would be a panacea to planning and aid government policy plan, a means to identify fraud, combat terrorism, create a leverage to citizen's entitlement and to access public services. Inasmuch as I don't like comparing Nigeria with the United States of America, there is nothing stopping a responsible government from running a Social Security number (SSN) system for permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents (Nigers, Ghanians, Beninios, Malians etc), if we need do big brother, then it should be with more security caution and management of the borders. These security numbers can further be used to manage tax collection and social welfare. But the government would choose not to do the project in view of the tax benefit simply to run away from the responsibilities of an all inclusive social welfare.

In 2006, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the Identity Cards Act 2006 which provided National Identity Cards, a personal identification document and European Union travel document, linked to a database known as the National Identity Register (NIR). The Act specified fifty categories of information that the National Identity Register could hold on each citizen, including up to 10 fingerprints, digitized facial scan and iris scan, current and past UK and overseas places of residence of all residents of the UK throughout their lives and indices to other Government databases (including National Insurance Number) which would allow them to be connected. A government that cannot manage the identity of its citizen does not worth their respect. According to world fact finder, Wikipedia, Identity management (IdM) means the management of individual identities, their authentication, authorization, roles?, and privileges within or across system and enterprise boundaries with the goal of increasing security and productivity while decreasing cost, downtime, and repetitive tasks.

In 2007, the National Assembly passed the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Act, a replica of that of UK. It has the mandate to establish, own, operate, maintain and manage the National Identity Database in Nigeria, register persons covered by the Act, assign a Unique National Identification Number (NIN) and issue General Multi-Purpose Cards (GMPC) to those registered individuals, and to harmonize and integrate existing identification databases in Nigeria. The Director-General, National Identity Management Commission, Mr. Chris Onyemenam, in order to achieve this magnificent feat( I don't want to believe it's impossible) as promised to "recruit the best available talents to fill the spaces within the commission". All things being equal, the Identity registration of Nigerian citizens will begin nationwide in April 2013. And that is where I have my strong reservations.

As much as I want to believe the NIMC, glaring realities put my believes on hold. If truly registration would commence in April, then I don't see the readiness. The NIMC is still grossly under powered with the basic resources to have an integrated centralised demographic database for the country. Except am mistaken or due process of selection has been subverted, the much taunted recruitment of young, vibrant and talented hands has not been done. Barely three months to commencement. Won't the new hands be trained or are we on the part to Sunday Afolabi/Sagem again?

The NIMC must understand that the ability to properly identify a person to their true identity is central to their operation, with wider implications for operations against crime and terrorism. These can't be done by a shabbily put together team. Comprehensive training has to be carried out with a broad based campaign orientation that would reach the hinterlands and all those staying outside the shores of the country. In recent times, illegal immigration has become one of the key political issues for the country, because of unending menace of Boko haram whose buck base of suicide bombers are from neighboring countries like Niger and Mali. To get anywhere, we must be ready to adequately manage the borders!

Aside the collation of the bio metric data and ID card now, a sustainable upgrading mechanism needs to be devised. Nigeria is one of the few countries, you can enter without adequate documentation and nobody cares. You don't even have to state when you would be leaving the country "sef". NIMC needs to work out collation strategies for births and deaths, liaise with the High courts, Prisons, and Police to get updates on criminal records. With National Emergency Management Authority to get details during disasters, Immigration agencies( Airport authority, sea ports, borders), etc. The recruitment exercise of NIMC needs to put in mind the number of agencies and places it would have to station staff permanently to enhance continuous monitoring and update.

Again and most importantly, NIMC must be conscious that the ID card bring about socio-economic and political integration as against segregation that might be caused by nepotism, ethnic bigotry and religious fanaticism. The horrible scenarios of Rwanda Tutsi and Hutus must not be allowed to replicate itself here.

Arewa Youths Consultative Forum Kicks Against Farouk Lawan’s Arraignment without Femi Otedola

WHAT WAS A CHOP AND CLEAN MOUTH BY FAROUK WAS A BOBBY TRAP "

                             A group of Northern youths has condemned the move by the office of Attorney General of the Federation to single out Farouk Lawan for prosecution over a bribery scandal while leaving out his partner in the crime, Mr Femi Otedola.

Reacting to the trial of Hon Farouk Lawan by the Federal Government, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, President of Arewa  Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF  in a statement issued at the weekend in Lagos, accused the Presidency of connivance and bias in the handling of Otedola/Farouk saga.

The Arewa Chieftain said by isolating Farouk Lawan for prosecution and tacitly dumping the House of Reps fuel subsidy probe resolution, the Presidency appeared desperate to tilt both the subsidy scam and bribery scandal in favour of its protégé; Mr Femi Otedola

Alhaji Shettima Yerima however accused Otedola of also trying to influence the course of justice by maliciously sponsoring some notable activists to compel the Federal Government to charge his counterpart; Mr Farouk Lawan to court over the bribery saga involving both of them

He said under the law the Nigerian Presidency has no justification to leave out Mr Otedola from the ongoing prosecution of the bribery allegation because according to him both givers and takers of bribes are conventionally culpable of bribery offence

“What is the intention of  the contrived bribery by Otedola in the first place? Our structures have been inundated with reports of the subtle conspiracy between the presidency and Mr Otedola to undermine the House committee probe on fuel subsidy scam which found Otedola and his cohorts culpable

We however, wish to warn the Federal Government not to compromise equity and justice in this matter. What is good for the gander is good geese. Femi Otedola must also be brought to justice for admitting masterminding bribery and for his alleged culpability in the fuel subsidy scam”

Condemning what the group perceived as a ploy to discredit and jettison the House Report on the Fuel subsidy scam on account of the masterminded bribery plot, the group urged the Federal Government to immediately commence action on the lawmakers’ resolution in order not to provoke its mass intervention in concert with other civil society groups.

Former Chairman of the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on fuel subsidy probe, Farouk Lawan and the clerk of the panel were today remanded in Kuje prison, Abuja by an FCT High Court pending when their bail applications will be considered on February 8 .This was the outcome of  their arraignment in court by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on a seven count criminal charge bordering on conspiracy, bribery and corruption contrary to the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi, had yesterday granted leave to the ICPC to prosecute the duo on criminal charges under Section 185(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).They pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Prosecution Counsel Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) had told the court that investigations have been concluded with the list of witnesses filed while he is ready to proceed with the trial.

IMO STATE BOILS AS GOV OKOROCHA EMULATES GOV OBI BY EMBEZZLING L.G.A FUNDS

GOV PETER OBI LECTURES GOV OKOROCHA ON HOW TO EMBEZZLE L.G.A FUNDS WITHOUT MUCH ADO FROM THE PEOPLE , BUT IMO PEOPLE (EKWUEME) ARE NOT ANAMBRA PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE REACTED TO STOP OKOROCHA IMMEDIATELY .

How Rochas Okorocha Looted N130 Billion LGs Funds – ALGON

Chairmen of the 27 local government areas of Imo state under the aegis of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON has accused the Executive governor of Imo state, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha  of embezzling the sum of N130 billion belonging to the local government.

The group in a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC as well as the  Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC dated and submitted on December 17th, 2012 detailed how the governor diverted and looted over N45 billion of public funds within few months of a tenure of four years.

Already, indicated emerged that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC confirmed has commenced investigation on the petition it received. The source said “the Commission is already investigating some of the weighty allegations of embezzlement levelled against Okorocha in the petition sent by ALGON, Imo state chapter to our Commission. Our own probe has nothing to do with what the EFCC is doing there, we will handle those offences that fall under our purview to deal with.”

The full text of the fraud allegations leveled against Governor Okorocha and his aides is reproduced below:

PETITION AGAINST MISAPPROPRIATION, DIVERSION, FRAUDULENT CONVERSION AND GROSS ABUSE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATUTORY ALLOCATION AND FUNDS OF THE 27 (TWENTY SEVEN) LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS OF IMO STATE BY THE IMO STATE GOVERNMET, AGENCIES AND FUNCTIONARIES NAMELY:

1. THE GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE CHIEF ETHELBERT ANAYO OKOROCHA.
2. THE PERMANENT SECRETARY MINISTRY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND CHIEFTAINCY AFFAIRS, MRS. L. ASUZU.
3. THE HON. COMMISSIONER FOR FINANCE IMO STATE, MR. CHIKE OKAFOR.
4. THE HON. COMMISSIONER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND CHIEFTAINCY AFFAIRS IMO STATE, CHIEF GERRY OKOLIE.
5. THE PURPORTED TRANSITION COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN OF THE 27 LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE, (Names attached)
6. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL OF IMO STATE, MR ECHE
7. THE SECRETARY OF THE IMO STATE GOVERNMENT, PROF GOZIE ANWUKAH
8. CHAIRMAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE COMMISSION, CHIEF JUDE EJIOGU.

On the 5^th day of July 2012 in a landmark judgment the Federal Court of Appeal Owerri division reinstated the 27 Democratically Elected Local Government Administration of Imo State, illegally dissolved by the Governor of Imo State in a statewide broadcast of 6^thJune 2011. On resumption of office it was discovered by us as follows;

(A)   That the Imo State House of Assembly in a House Resolution approved for the Governor of Imo State to borrow the sum of N45,000,000,000.00 (FORTY FIVE BILLION NAIRA) FROM ZENITH BANK PLC, the said sum having been actually borrowed using the Imo Local Government Statutory allocation as collateral for a three year tenure;

(B)   Another sum of N28,000,000,000.00 (TWENTY EIGHT BILLION NAIRA) was also approved by the Imo House of Assembly and said sum also borrowed from DIAMOND BANK PLC with Imo Local Government Statutory allocation as collateral for a three year tenure. It must be noted that the respective Local Governments are by the extant laws entitled to originate the sourcing of loans and relevant projects for their respective local government areas.

(C)   That 90% of road contracts awarded by the government in Imo State with the above whopping sums were without due process. There is a clear evidence that except for grading haphazardly no appreciable work has been done for more than a year now on the road projects.

(D)   It is on record that contractors handling the road projects in Imo State were not issued with contract papers. The ministry of works that ought to supervise the award process became a total stranger to these frivolous contracts.

(E)    It is also on record that the Secretary to the State government never invited tenders through the Imo State Tenders Board and where contracts were awarded no publications were made to show the names of contractors who won them and till date nobody knows the value of those contracts.

(F)    It is also on record that most of the contracts were unilaterally awarded by the Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly and his colleagues without tender or any iota of due process. It was with a view to compromising the state legislature in its constitutional oversight functions that the leadership of the house of assembly became a contract awarding agency of the Imo state government. In fact it was so arbitrary that even market women were aware of the wanton disregard for due process by the Imo State government.

(G)   It is further revealed that the Manager of Zenith bank Owerri Mr. Chike Okafor who is now on secondment as Imo Commissioner for Finance, packaged the above jumbo loan with apparent disregard to guidelines on state loans and public procurement despite knowing that he was using the wrong collateral (Imo Local Government Statutory Allocation).

It is further revealed that Statutory allocation to Imo state local Government which is supposed to be disbursed after Joint Allocation meeting with Executive Chairmen in now kept in an illegal account ‘tagged’ project accounts domiciled with zenith bank plc the erstwhile employers of the commissioner for finance. The Hon Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs Mr Gerry Okolie as the sole signatory. The said money is disbursed and used arbitrarily with reckless abandon. It is materially and legally settled that Local Government allocation can neither be disbursed nor used without the elected local government chairmen attending JAAC meeting and approving such disbursement and or usage. If proper disbursement during when elected chairmen were out of office may be excused, which is not conceded; is there any legal or exigent justification for disbursement and use of July 2012 allocation when federal Court of Appeal reinstated the Executive Chairmen on 5^th July 2012. The above question is for the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Permanent Secretary Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to answer.

(H)   It is further revealed that at local government level, monies meant for projects were withdrawn and misappropriated by 27 Former Local Government Transition Committee Chairmen as we discovered that HOD works of the 27 Local Governments provided no evidence for any projects carried out. When this became public knowledge, the local government Directors of Administration and General Services and Treasurers were assembled at some hotels in Owerri, to falsify papers for which they were paid bribe sum of 250,000 naira each.

(I)     It is to our collective knowledge that for almost a year now a large chunk of the allocations meant for the Local Government from the Federal Account are being deducted at source by the respective Zenith Bank Plc and Diamond Plc in repayment of the aforesaid jumbo loan grant which is under serious misappropriation with the then purported Transition Committee Chairmen signing out their blue forms provided for them by the Governor evidencing receipt of their various Local Government allocations with little or nothing done on ground except staff salaries which are being paid irregularly and at venues outside the respective local governments headquarters. It is also evident that despite the court of Appeal Judgment, the illegal Transition committee chairmen and members were paid July 2012 salaries.

(J)    It is on record that the above catalogue of withdrawals, misappropriation, disregard to public procurement rules, happen under the nose of the Accountant General of Imo State. He has connived, aided and abetted gross financial impropriety in Imo state.

(K)   The above functionaries of Imo State Government ought to explain what the whopping sums of money obtained as loans on behalf of Imo State Local Government as above.

(L)    They are also to explain what happened to over N57,700,000,000.00 (fifty seven billion, seven hundred million naira) received as statutory allocation of Imo State Local Government from the federation account between June 2011 and June 2012 (the breakdown list is attached for ease of reference).

(M)  The need to investigate the misappropriation of the statutory allocation of Imo State Local Government arrears since the inception of the Okorocha administration is imperative not only because the court has declared that the dissolution of the elected chairmen is illegal, but also because of the aggravating and reckless manner of the dissolution given the presumption that the Attorney General of Imo State and Commissioner for Justice must have advised him.

(N)   More importantly the fact that the projects claimed to have been executed with the money by Imo State Government – the proposed 15 kilometer road project and general hospital project in each of the local governments which projects are still at shell stages all over the state, despite the projects having commenced more than ten Months Ago.

(O)   We further urge you sir, to use your good office to ensure a speedier intervention in this matter with a view to seeing that the Imo State Joint Local Government Account which now serve as a conduit for the said unholy act of misappropriation of the State Fund is blocked in order to save the good people of Imo State from enslavement, underdevelopment and shackles of indebtedness, and to further save this month’s allocation of the Imo State Local Government Council, from the Federation Account.

(P)   We wish to restate the obvious fact that the above stated huge loans obtained from the various banks have not been put to any good use but have been diverted misappropriated and fraudulently converted to their personal uses by the Governor and his Government officials listed above.

The 27 Local Government transition committee Chairman (TC Chairmen) whose named are annexed herein are the Principal agents and conduit for the gross misappropriation and diversion as non of the councils in Imo State have witnessed any development project on account of the huge loans.

It is regrettable that the Local Government Administration in Imo State is grossly abused, raped and systematically being destroyed by a Contrived recklessness and Unrepentant Corruption.

The company ROCHE, an acronym clearly similar to ROCHAS acts as clearing house for all contracts and projects warehoused under the said funds. A thorough investigation of the operation and ownership of the company which came into operation in Imo State only after the election of Governor Rochas Okorocha will reveal a lot.

There is no doubt that the company is a big conduit for diversion of Local Government funds.

It is important for you to investigate also how the Governor leased Adapalm Ltd to Roche group for 3.5 billion naira which they did not pay a kobo for. Instead Imolites were informed by the Governor that he had directed the said foreign company to use the proceeds from leasing Adapalm to erect 305 primary school classroom blocks in the 305 electoral wards in the state. It must be noted that till date no such buildings have been constructed by Roche group and it is noteworthy that Imo state government lost the revenue accruable from this transaction (5% VAT and 5% WHT).

The Governor most unconscionably has acquired a private Aircraft with which he travels overseas at random. The Aircraft was purchased after he was sworn in to office as Governor with public funds and is serviced with Imo State Government funds. Most time this Aircraft brings him to work on a daily basis from Abuja to Imo airport.

We also believe it is the statutory allocation of Imo L.G.A.S that he is using in his claim of building 3 (Three) nos. five start hotels in the three zones of Orlu, Okigwe and Owerri for which he claimed in his 2013 budget speech to have paid 40% as mobilization for each hotel project. The Contract value and Contractors are unknown and there was no tender or building process for these conduit Projects which is contrary to Public Procurement Act and Fiscal Responsibility Act.

It is also noteworthy that the Governor has been able to repurchase all his private properties mortgaged or sold before he became Governor like the “Unity House” at area 11 Garki Abuja sold to Redeem Christian Church of God hitherto.

The Governor also fraudulently indicated an intention to relocate the Imo State University to his hometown in Ogboko Ideato SouthL.G.A Imo State. Surprosingly without presenting any bill to that effect to the Imo State House of Assembly for an authorizinf Legislation, he quickly mobilized resources of Imo L.G.A. As coming through the Statutory Allocation and illegally expended over N5 billion Naira in erecting new structures at the proposed site. The Governor has cancelled the plan to relocate the University while the huge development therein are selfishly appropriated for his benefit as a new private university. The attempt to get an authorizing legislation albeit retroactively is presently on in the Imo State House of Assembly. See the attached publication by the Imo Patriots.

It is sad that this large scale misappropriation of Imo state local government statutory allocation by the governor and his cohorts has functionally collapsed the cherished constitutional third tier structure with an indefinite staff in iMo state who he colludes with to make fictitious documents to cover the crime.

We attach for your ease of reference the under listed documents to wit:

(1)   The Court of Appeal Judgment of 5^th July 2012.

(2)   Distribution of Statutory Allocation to Imo State Local Government councils by FAAC in May 2011 – June 2012.

(3)   Lit of TCS (Transition Committee Chairmen) of Local Government Councils who shamelessly acquiesced to being used to siphon Local Government funds.

(4)   Publication by Imo patriots

We count on your speedy response.

Yours faithfully,

The undersigned Executive Chairmen of Local Government Councils in Imo State.

"Activist" Tokunbo Aremo Odua Complains That $30k Match Bonus to Eagles Unfairly Benefits Igbos

A so called "activist", Tokunbo  Aremo Odua, who happens to be an ethnic Bigot  has complained that the $30,000 match bonus giving to the Super Eagles for winning their match against Ethiopia is against the Federal Character principles as it enriches the Igbo nation to the disadvantage of other players.

Tokunbo said because most of the players are of Igbo origin the dole out is unfair.

The activist’s post is reprinted below verbatim;

********************************************************************************************************************************

This ethnic Bigot just like many from the Yoruba tribe is at it again. First a lot of these players based abroad make $100,000 and more a week, so $30,000 is a small change to many of them. Does football have to be federal character or the best player criteria. Nigeria is a failed Nation should never have been merged and will NEVER be one. Why waste more time , BREAK UP THE DAMN THING NOW !.

   Snow In London - Saturday, 19/Jan/2013

 See video as proof that the picture is real , the weather in London last week replicates the scenario where these Governors are standing .

 



Enugu State Governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime flanked by some members of the Governor’s forum; Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue state, Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom state (left) and Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State in London, Tuesday.
 

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State; the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF,  Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State and Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State who were part of the the delegation, confirmed to LiliacFire Agent that Gov  Chime has fully recovered and will soon returnto Nigeria.

The BIG question is why was the delegation not composed of a SINGLE SOUTH EAST GOVERNOR ?

 

LiliacFire confirms that Governor Peter Obi of Anambra state was in London last week till he returned suddenly due to the bodies dumped in his state from Kogi state.
