Has Anyone Else Noticed This Current Online Media War? by CandyOps(m): 4:53am On Jul 14, 2023 |
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the media war being waged against the Igb0s ? I noticed this few months b4 the elections started. Yes I know, mudslinging is a political tactic used to tear down your opponent's image and public perception. But the one currently going on agai.nst the igb0s is just too alarming and obvious! It's happening everywhere -- on Lindaikejisblog comment sections, on popular blogs on IG comment section and lots of other places online including NL. Once the topic is related to the South East you already know some uncultured fellow is down in the comments spewing BS And they aren't even creative about it... They act like kids who are set to get on your nerves lol. They try to get you emotional with their dirty style of trolling They are also usually from monikers whose accounts are dedicated to trolling Igbos online. And nothing else! They act like they've been given specific instructions to troll the hell outta Igbos online and to paint a bad image of Igb0s. Now, if you are Igbo I want you to understand that there is what we call 'Media War' It is a very important tactic of politics and should never be left to chance! I search for Peter Obis case online against INEC and the results that popped up with articles explaining the court process was from Vanguard. The rest just barely scratch the topic before ending the article. Then when I scrolled down I was only seeing Peter Obi vs Ngige from years ago. What a big shame to P.O and his team. Why isn't anyone from the Igbo side launching a proactive precalculated counter attack on this alleged Media War?? I think Igbos are too reactive. They don't think steps ahead. Employ the services of strategists and P.Rs There are people whose job is to create the kind of image buzz you want to. It mustbt6be evil, vile and nasty like URCH1Ns do... On the contrary, you can even employ the P.O style... But be gentle and formless. And funny thing is that the DSS would never seem it fit to track those scrupulous elements hiding behind a screwn to cause this tensions online I mean.... It's a very easy thing to tra.ck someone using his online footprints.. why are the State Security Service agents keeping mum about this ?? I almost forgot .. this is Nigeria! A.k.a anything goes. This is the more reason Igbos should be intentional about their online image and public perception 22 Likes 1 Share |

You see the Nigerian elections was painted out to be a tribal one lol They politicians spun the story so well especially with their 30k monthly pay online trolls.. that anyone could have sworn the elections and the violence that played out in some places was purely tribal. If you believe this then that means you are still a baby. You are asleep and your third eye is not woke. And the reason is because the past elections was all about vested interests. Nothing concern tribe or religion inside. And I'll explain... 7 Likes |

Typing .. Someone posted this on his WA status and it kinda makes so much sense now The FGN approved the sell of some shares of ExxonMobil by another oil company named, Seplat, just few days before the election. The deal was worth $1.3billion If you follow the chart on the picture the same Standard Oil whey be John D Rockefeller family monopoly oil business (back then) broke out into many other branches so that they can accommodate other big players in the oil industry. Before elections... Talks have been on about 1 Like

CandyOps: Back to my topic on how the URCH1NS are spending millions of naira on the Media War against the 1gbos... So looking at the chart u will see clearly that STandard Oil is also Exxon. Now, in the year 2022 Exxon bought off Mobil NG and is now called ExxonMobil. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/513979-why-were-selling-mobil-nigeria-to-seplat-exxonmobil.html?tztc=1 Stay with me... It gets shady real soon.. August, 2022. Months after the acquisition, ExxonMobill is bought off by Seplat oil company and Buhari approved the deal for a whopping $1.2Billion USD As usual, NNPC gets 20% cut as 'eye wey see' And we all can remember who the last Min. Of Petroleum was, can't we? 🤔 NNPC blocked that deal and had Seplat oil and gas company up the offer by an extra 300million USD making it a total of $1.6billion approx. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/nigerias-buhari-grants-consent-seplats-buy-exxonmobils-nigeria-unit-2022-08-08/ With few weeks to the elections the FGN, NNPC and CBN had a surplus amount of FX and could afford to mop up the old naira notes in circulation. Now, before we go deeper into the rabbit hole... Remember that Seplat Oil & Gas is majorly owned by one Maurel Bernard family -- a big huncho and ally of the Rothschild & Co So basically, Seplat is still owned indirectly by Standard Oil. The shocking question here remains this- why would Standard Oil sell its oil company to itself? 🤔🤔 And the answer is for the Buhari's govt to cash out that 20% of 1.2billy! Do the maths! . Wow... This deal went down weeks before the 2023 general elections in Nigeria And let's not forget Africa's richest 'business' man and CEO -- Dangote Group of Companies. What about him??!! Lol when did he get his private import licence? Yep you got it right! Just before the elections in fact, he started the application almost same time ExxonMobill mobile was being bought off . What's the connection? He is the money cleaner! 💰 So if you believe it's about tribe you better check again. Which is why I believe that P.O legal team and petitioners at the elections tribunal should have a field's day in court with this case against the defence. I'll be surprised if he doesn't eat up this case. This is just 1 deal. We don't even want to go into telecommunications deals that went down. Now if you convert 20% of 1.2billy to naira it will give you around ₦186billion Take a moment and ask yourself what the FGN can do for that money to be diverted to private pockets? Yea!!! A.k.a f*uck the masses!

You igbos have done a job of propaganda like no other and you score 10 on 10. This is why you are here and known but like everything fake, it will fail. Only truth last forever. People that fell for Putin is bad because of the media will find out that he has actually saved mankind, just like people are finding out that you igbos are irrational. What's new, you have claimed to be what you are not and people are finding out that it's all hot manure. You claim to be power behind Nigeria but nothing in your region will affect Nigeria, even if you sit at home for 10 years except for igbo refugees that will triple in Yorubaland. Now that you want to push your luck harder on propaganda, you will just be a stankin mess that people will avoid. See ehn, there are more igbos in China but Chinese govt want Yoruba language because they know that igbos have nothing tangible to offer, you are a quarter the tribe Yoruba is. Yoruba are the gentle giant, the one with yam and the knife, THE BOSS! 24 Likes 5 Shares |

This keeps getting interesting because my checks now on where Atiku stands in this election issue shows he had already been settled since tey teey! Here is what I mean ... We all know Atiku used to own the largest logistics company that transport free base petroleum orders and warehousing internationally called. Integrated Logistic Services (INTELS) Nigeria. Okay.. that facts. Now guess what? You wouldn't believe he sold his interests in INTELS for 100m usd Here is where it gets interesting, he sold the shares to Vanguard Groups which are croonies to Shell Oil. And not just that H.E Atiku was alleged to have a pending pilotage fee to remit in the tuneif almost 200mill USD. And it was wiped off his slate. Plus the $100m he sold it off for so wmhe got like $300mill on approx off the deal. So with these information we can all assume he only contested the elections to fulfil all rightousness. He's noting but a distraction. Okay guys. Do with this information what you please. Bye! Day done break make I go find wetin belle go chop because e get people wey done collect their ₦20 or ₦30k already. E go be! ✌️ Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk expose 2 Likes

CandyOps: As usual Play the victim But Lately the wool has fallen from peoples eyes.... especially those that had some sympathy for igbos because they didn't like buhari....everyone has now seen through your deceits. Especially the deception called Obi which 99.9 % igbos supported. Even the foolish woke Yoruba kid have retraced their steps save for those that still needs igbos validation for their hustle like seun Osewa. What worrying you is that media spaces you used to dominate now carry news against you...and the comments go against you....you people used to dominate Twitter Facebook Instagram and LIB....LIB that is even owned by an igbolady has now seen the truth.

ycat: Like I said earlier, it's purely a waste of time and energy responding to these guys logically. Just be illogical wth them. Or ignore them. How can somebody come and open his mouth, "whaaa!" Without even thinking?? A quick Google search could have saved you this embarrassing showoffs you're putting up. Check your Google for the annual IGR for Nigeria and you will find out S East states seems unaffected by how much try generate for the nation. What you should check on the other hand is why other states aren't outperforming South East states not withstanding the steady interruption of work days But no you didn't do any research you chose to display how mentally lazy and latent you are Talkin' bout 'sit-at-home' and how it will turn Igbos to refugees abi slaves. Then here is a pro tip -- don't just compare IGRs of each state, juxtapose it with the Annual Debt per state and minus it.. Then u will have a picture if what states are wasting money and which is profitable 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Well, it's for those with time on their hands essentially. Anybody busy with putting bread on their table for today and tomorrow will not have that much time to dedicate to this war, so that probably explains why the online debacle has been one-sided for a while now. It was a different scenario when there was/is public holiday. Every other day, not so much. We're busy, my Gee. We keep busy, stay busy, not just for today but for tomorrow. Everytime we come online to see us in the mentions. North and South West fighting over who got the most allocation and why, Innocent Igbos get dragged in out of nowhere. In their words, APC is a North and South West alliance but APC-criminal in Emefiele from Delta State (South South) stars in their media magic, Innocent Igbos and 5%-ers (South East) gets dragged in. Hell, Hilda Baci from Akwa Ibom (South South) won GWR with her cook-a-thon with Nigerians fully behind her, but when 'Chef Dammy' hastily took on an identical enterprise, Innocent Igbos got dragged in with the narrative 'Hilda Baci did it for Igbos, Chef Dammy' will do it for Yorubas' Personally, I would leave such responses for leisure time, like now while waiting for my colleague to round up and let's zoom off. Engineering and living to respond to such attacks is a waste of relevant energy, to be honest. OP, I would advise you let dead dogs stay dead😂😂 2 Likes 1 Share |
