Good work continue! Sir E Obilo

Mazi Simon Ekpa calls it a dangerous diversity. He's right afterall.

[@etemoweiaguamah5940]

Indeed there was never a country

[@kingdike2115]

Singing praises for Buhari was a sign of a visionless mind. Their actions and decisions destroyed Nigeria. People without law , leadership and direction ,.... Have no country

[@FairButFirm]

They have been doing it since 1966 when Awolowo was released from prison and preferred to pitch camp with the Northerners who are British tool to halt any commonsense development of Nigeria. Today they are all crying. I do not understand why people will be stupid to help outsiders destroy their country.

​@@FairButFirm Nice story. Now, are you gonna tell us about how Zik's NCNC formed a coalition with the same North in 1959?

[@FairButFirm]

@Cogiito You mean Herbert Macauley's NCNC? Even at that, it was same NCNC that formed UPGA with Awo's AG to save Awo and the West from Akintola's brigandage with the North in western region. Re.ber UNDP. Problem is you people sweep Akintola under the carpet and looking for Igbo to complain.

[@Cogiito]

@@FairButFirm Off point. Did the NCNC under the leadership of Zik form an alliance with the NPC or not? Are you gonna talk about that or it doesn't suit your agenda? Come clean, man.

[@Cogiito]

@@FairButFirm Off point. Did the NCNC under Zik's leadership form an alliance with the NPC or not? Give a clear answer or does the answer not suit your agenda?

[@UsifoSamson]

Mr Obilo continue the good work

Achebe's classic - "There was a country" isn't a reference to the fallacy called Nigeria, but rather a soulful description of what would have been had Biafra survived. Let's not conflate the ideas.

I never knew that somebody campaigned for Buhari and his Government until now. Sad. Very very sad indeed!

[@aframaco9491]

Nigeria's stagnancy does not come from our diversity, but from our stubbornness to grow up !! We knowingly retard ourselves! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!!

[@jkauto7836]

Nigeria before 18 hundred there was never a country called Nigeria before the advent of the European

[@Sankara80-v5f]

You see, the minute the old man said, I am proud of this country I skipt the whole broadcast. If in his age he still is proud and celebrates absolute failure then something is not right with his mind. And there are many like him. There is no apology for the failure of Nigeria. It was never meant to work, it was only meant to supply western powers with whatever they need. At his age he should be promoting yoruba Nation, to be taken serious by me!!

[@Dekhohko1234]

Sad… Buhari finished everything… Nigeria project is a scam… we can never coexist in peace… Nigeria is a mistake.. I regret having anything to do with that country… who did we offend? 😢😢😢😢

Going to U S Congress was an act of ignorance but I'm with you on other things.
