It will stop soon. Just try to figure out your thoughts and their purpose. Don't react. Use reality to filter them all.

Iron and clay means government of the people by the people for the people:

DEMOCRACY!

The Bible explains that during the time Nebuchadnezzar ruled the power of the ruler is none challengeable that's what makes it Gold but gradually power given to human rulers began diminishing until our time when the subjects have a say in fact they determine who rules over them as well as policies because they go out to protest against their rulers but in Nebuchadnezzar's time things weren't like that.

So the rulers represents the iron while their subjects represents the clay.

May you have peace!

Interesting. Something new i came across .

Thank you

If going by the the Biblical Prophecy by Daniel. Concerning the nation that will dominate the world. We know we are on the last phase which is the iron and the clay.. which kingdom or country should we be looking at.

It's high time the government ban herdsmen from carrying any form of arm. But what do I know.. the selfish government is fully concentrated on 2027

Good they buy land no issue.. but security alarm is a good thing to be raise.. any insecurities in the state especially from the owners of those people who bought 5000 plots will be dealt with..
There is no problem on land acquisition but respect for security of life and property should be paramount.

That former Managing Director of the NNPC and his lieutnants were obviously a very corrupt bunch, as has always been the case with almost all the crooks appointed to those positions since the 70s when one Muhammadu Buhari appointed as the inaugural MD, turned the place into a cesspit of corruption. The Petroleum ministry and the NNPC are the ultimate "come and chop" positions in Nigerias political appointments. That evil has since been normalised..

Problem with this report though is that it is starting to look like certain groups within the presidency are desperate to showcase the dubious acts of the former Director and his appointees for sectional interests! They make it look like the corrupt cases at the NNPC are isolated. But that is not the case. The whole of this government is enmeshed and awash with kleptomania. Unleashing all these propaganda just to justify all the recent tribal appointments by the president into the NNPC is simply diversionary..

No one wants to fight corruption here, just fighting all obstacles against total "state capture"..

That doesn't mean corruption should be allowed

Is there a tallest building that can beat first bank in lagos ??

When are they going to do it for monitoring herdsmen activities in the farm

[/color] No one cares about his satisfaction, all I said was that he couldn't do anything without consulting Tafewa balewa. He was a paper tiger[color=#770077]

That's how you put or see it.. go check the real role of prime minister and head of state. Both are paper without each other.. one is the ceremonial and signature needed the other is the planner and director

Thomasankara:
[color=#770077][/color]so what's the babe of your argument now, argue constructively for once. I just lectured you on parliamentary system of government. Now could you tell me,who gives assent to bill in Britain, is it the prime minister or the king?. On another note,do you mean Awolowo who was a dethroned regional leader was more of a threat to Azikiwe and mattered most in the scheme of events? I don't understand the angle you are coming from. Please enlighten me[color=#770077]

You said Nnamdi Azikiwe was not satisfied with the position of a head of state. And clarify his role clearly. Cause you said that Nnamdi Azikiwe was eyeing the role of a prime minister. That's why I clarified the role he had was much satisfactory for him than such. He even lobbied for that position..

pesty100:
What is happening? It's funny people don't know that Trump is doing this as revenge for his first term impeachment that Zelensky help in.

You and propaganda.

Wetin concern zelensky with Trump impeachment

Trump should help them reclaim their land

In response to their agreement

Thomasankara:
[color=#770077][/color]for your information, Nigeria operated parliamentary system of government at that time, where we have head of state and head of government. Tafewa balewa was head of government,while Nnamdi was head of state

Laughable...the lies you choose to hold on to.

Awolowo was angry that he didn't get any position at the helm of affair kand choose to fight back .......

Tbh a head of state has the chance to be in office for long compare to the prime minister.. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a ceremonial head representing the British empire. And his position cannot be influenced by the prime minister or anyone... In sequence what will be his gain for someone who lobbied himself to that position to fight unnecessary fight.. his position was not a tenure term unlike the prime minister that has tenure. And most effective execution also needs his signature

Thomasankara:
[/color]Nnamdi was a toothless bulldog, he was a ceremonial president that would never sign bills[color=#770077]

Both of us are not above 60 years old

Don't conclude on something you hardly know about

babat89:



Balewa was head of state.
Azikiwe was only a figurehead.
Don't twist history.

Azikiwe was conveniently away from the Country during the coup.
He obviously knew about it.

....also NOTHING happened in the east, nothing!

Your quote shows you are uneducated

History needs to be modified and sets well for future progress .


And for some people who said no leaders was killed in the south west..

The record said ahmadu bello was pushing for Islamic law implementation in Nigeria that push the more quest to kill him.

As for Tafawa Bello though a quiet man they felt he strongly align with Ahmadu Bello ideology and also since the picture was to put in Awolowo there was no second consideration..


As for Akintola, the record said they had no intention to kill him but to put him in prison.. however he opened fire on them and this created exchange of bullets.

As for okpara and Azikiwe. The news quickly escalated. Ifeajuna who was to kill both men was quickly subdue and most igbo officers was killed on the spot.


Obiechuna stopped the coup. Which led to aguiyi ironsi first control as the head of state. Though triggered annoyance from the northern sphere on why aguiyi is yet to prosecute them


But on a serious note why will it be an igbo coup when nnamdi Azikiwe is already the then head of state

Obasanjo - west- not igbo coup
Ademoyega - west - not igbo coup
IBB - north - not igbo coup
Ojukwu - East - not igbo coup
Effiong - south - not igbo coup


All these men are old and some in the afterlife.

You that is still yet to the other world keep strangling with lies when the truth is out.

It won't change anything but only effect you

Softmirror:


If it wasn't an Igbo coup the counter coup would have had Igbos as participants and not mainly a Northern extraction.

It is because it was a Igbo coup that is the reason why we had an aftermath called BIAFRAN WAR. It is simple Logic and very straightforward.

IBB plainly said the coup was halted by the igbos. And it was clearly seen when aguiyi ironsi took over control of the state.

Softmirror:


The picture you are not seeing is the BETRAYAL if the North, Hausas actually accepted him as one of theirs but went ahead to shed the blood of their most beloved in cold blood without being able to convince a single Hausa Army to him in the murder. Except his fellow Igbos.

Was your source..

Softmirror:


How does it align?! If IBB's opinion is that Kaduna Nzwegu is more of Hausa than Igbo why wasn't he able to rally Hausa Fulani Soliders as fellow coup plotters?!

Another question is, the counter coup was by Soliders mainly from which region?! And why?!

If he can as a hausa. And also commands battalion at the north. Even I read he was difficult due to the command he easily had in the north. And it's truth aside from his name he easily as hausa. So this question does not hold. He alone can't execute without his boys who will be also hausa. The counter coup was said to be an igbo person. The hatred stem up that after their agreement top personnel were not executed in the Eastern territory as expected.

loffyloffy:


You mean 6 months, was too short for Ironsi to send the people to trial?

This people killed the prime minister of the country and his wife, killed the premier of of every region except the SE, and they were arrested and kept in prison, where according to some ther were still flexing like people outside.

It was also said at that time, that Igbos were making fun of the northerners for all that 6 months, some even said most of Ironsi cabinet, were Igbos like himself.

Saddam Hussein was kept in prison for more than 6 months...


Many political prisoners in history of Nigeria and most part of the world also do this

Softmirror:


Which Issues? I don't understand. That Abacha annulled the Election and not him despite being the President, Head of State commander of the Nigerian armed forces?!

If you say he his playing maradona on something he can keep mute and nothing will happen. All I see is IBB testimony aligns with the old soldiers then.

There is nothing to gain for him if he lies

loffyloffy:


I can see that you conveniently jumped the 2nd paragraph that negated your point of view, and move on to underline the 3rd paragraph.

You are so intent on showing us that the Igbos are not complicit in killing all the top officers and politicians from other regions except their own, that you went with your microscope to come up with this your cut and paste evidence.

The important evidence out there is?

How come no Igbo TOP politician or Military personnel died in the coup?

How come Ironsi, an Igbo man and a major beneficiary of the coup, how come he didn't prosecute anyone , for one of the bloodiest coup in the country's history, even though he have most of the perpetrators in prison.

An Igbo , Hausa or Yoruba man, is not by just the language the person speaks, but by the mindset, mentality and culture that the person inherits and projects.

That is why we have so many 'Developers' in Lagos, who can speak Yoruba better than Igbo and yet their mindset is completely Igbo.

I think someone of his character is too slow maybe. Provided he had them in custody there case would have still be revisited again. But proper investigation had to be carried out

Softmirror:


IBB is called MARADONA and he still wants to dribble his way into his grave by telling all kinds of lies upon lies upon lie. One astonishing statement he made in his book about the 1966 coup was the exoneratiing the Chief Coupist as being more of a Northern, "HAUSA" with just an Igbo name Kaduna Nzeogwu, shifts IBB's argument and opinion to the question that if he will agree that it the Coup was a Hausa Coup?!

What of mko Abiola. Will the man who is close to his grave be lying on such issues

Ironsi even tried..he arrested most of the coupist especially his tribesmen. But failed to execute them.

Kudos to that igbo soldier who killed most of the coupist irrespective of their tribe

After reading the testimony of IBB
It all correspond to the testimony of
Ademoyega
Olusegun Obasanjo
And Ojukwu


What do we have to say about this

A young friend of mine in his early thirties had a conversation that worried him; he asked me if I married my wife as a virgin. I asked him why he asked such questions. Though I was a bit calm with him due to the nature of the question, I was a bit patient to know why he said such. He quickly muttered that he is a virgin but seems like he has come to the conclusion that he, being a virgin, will likely settle with a non-virgin. Cause most girls he met easily discussed with the group of friends that they are non-virgin and laughable, accept that it will be a difficult thing to see a virgin making it obvious that none of the girls are virgins.




I only told him to leave; I will get back to him. What do you think I should advise this young man?

Appleyard:


So what's you interpretation and conclusion on the quoted chapter?

if russia is to be the denominating one, bible scripture must be completely fulfill, putin might be impeached or kill to match the biblical meaning of fall

permit me to use this space the cross road between russia and ukraine doesn't implies the end of the world
or the fall of babylon, people should listen to the word of God and not mixed it, the end means someone whom must have
suffered fatal blow, whose kingdom according to revelation the horn on the beast head is fatally wounded.
to be simple in point. american still hold a chance to hit at russia in a way to end the reign of putin in russia
listen again they are seven hills, five has fallen one is, and the other is not yet come when he cometh, he must continue a short space
the beast is among the seven

the beast as described in revelation 13 verse 3 and it quote "and i saw one of its head as it was wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast, and they worshipped
the dragon which gave power unto beast: and they worshiped the beast saying who is like unto the beast
who is able to make war with the beast
