TheRealestGuy:


Let me make it clear to you.

You see, the average Igbo mam, while supporting Biafra will not support hoodlums going about harrassing people in the name of IPOB.

Also, there were shootings by police and military in places like Mushin and a few others but nobody took it up.

There is a reason why the Lekki massacre made international headlines.

If you cannot understand that reason then to Jesus be your glory.

Nobody in Igbo land supports criminals/hoodlums.
Lekki massacre made headlines because Lagos is more important to igbos than oyigbo right?

They have been desperately trying damage control by denying or suppressing any evidence; especially that of a viral audio recording of their Dilector Kanu clearly coordinating the attacks in Oyigbo and also elsewhere against selected targets in the SW including Tinubu's hotel and Lagos Gov. Sanwo Olu.

Now they're the ones looking for global attention.

Lol.

Just wait till Oyigbo becomes a national /global issue then we will exhume these recordings as evidence to show the world the kind of violent, genocide seeking murderous terrorist group that ipob is.

you can't realy kill the whole nationality of a people because you feel the locale they live in is yours.
You are not God that you should decide where their ancestoral home should be.
This is equally the reason some of this ethnic minorities are their own oppressors.
Tomorro now wike will pair up with Gov Tambuwal as VP and will be asking for Igbo votes


Does Wike have a problem with Igbos or IPOB? Are you saying all Igbos are IPOB members? or maybe you have comprehension problems?

But one wonders why this sort of measures are not taken on areas where fulani herdsmen are running riots and slaughtering human beings.

You will live long brother, Omenka am sure you are listening ,ask yourself why Buhari did not take this same measures when Fulani Herdsmen were killing and still kill your brothers in Benue state, rather you keep carrying Igbos and Igbo matter for ur head.

But then what do I know ? A slave is not allowed to think independently.

I sympathize with the innocent ones caught in the imbroglio between the millitary and Ipob.

That said, it is interesting seeing the quietude in the South East in the face of what is happening. So much so that one Gidgiddi who prides himself as an Igbo leader on the forum waved it aside saying FORGET WIKE.

It is now obvious Igbos react to the death of Igbos depending on who is responsible for the killing.

We saw it with Peter Obi when he killed tens of Igbos in Akwuzu, and now Wike.

They even seemed more concerned about the incident at Lekki than this in Rivers, with nearly all Lekki threads running into no less than 8 pages!!

We live in very interesting times.

Your observation is very correct! If this was happening under a SW governor social media would have been on overtime, na so we for don dey hear Tinubu dis Tinubu that....

Do you know that a lot of innocent people have being killed as a result of the Cross fire ? You're talking like you don't know the Nigerian Army ..... Oyigbo is just a suburb of PH yet look at what is happening . Imagine trying such in Aba ? A city with over a million people ! The loss of innocent lives will run into thousands ! I'm not encouraging IPOB but this is the wrong way to go about this .
So what's the right way to go about it since IPOB are killing our soldiers who are meant to protect us.. How come you all are not condemning Nnamdi Kanu who sent them on the erratic mission.

Wike has already crossed the line so he and his family members must suffer the consequences.
He has killed 100s of innocent OYIGBO people so he should be ready to face the music when it comes calling on him or his family.

Now regarding your other point about Kanu making wild statements, I am in agreement with that. For many years I have tried to tell his diehard supporters that Kanu can never be my leader because there are characteristics that he lacks that a very essential for the job, and his supporters attacked me in this forum for my constructive criticisms.

For many years I have always written that Kanu should have remained as the director of Radio Biafra, and let the real creators of IPOB, lead the group in a civilized manner. Not now that keke drivers and loads riders are running the show.

Wike has just proven himself to be a keke driver sort of leader, just like Kanu. This episode has hopefully helped in exposing both individuals, but the bounty on Wike must stand. Human life must be respected
Terrorist bounty on Wike must stand and yet you're condemning the military actions against the terrorists.. U never start

Obigbo/Oyigbo is just a typical example of the cluelessness of the country called Nigeria. There is nothing that happened in Oyigbo that did not happen across the South of Nigeria during the ENDSARS protest. Almost every state in Nigeria experienced the burning of Police stations, destruction of property and loss of lives on both sides.

So why is it just Wike that is shouting terrorism, proscribing people, imposing long curfew and inviting military? Its all about politics

What happened in Oyigbo was a combination of a 3 way battle between Oyigbo residents, Northerners and the security forces. Add ENDSARS protest to that mix.

But the narrative of the idiot called Wike is that IPOB just got up one morning, with no provocation, started killing people and burning down Police stations and killing Police/Army


Someone is claiming that IPOB killed Police and Army, snatched their weapons. But the same person has not mentioned the name of the security forces killed, no picture of them, no details of how they were killed despite being armed, and no corroborating evidence that IPOB did this

Just a mere statement. What is that? It is terrible because if it is just mere statement is all is needed to criminalise a group or a person, send military to an area, kill people unnecessarily, then the Nigeria we see today and its democracy is nonsense

So you believe in the publishing of names and photos of victims.

Nyesom Wike should not relent until the youths of Oyigbo rise and renounce Nnamdi Kanu and his violent and ethnic cleansing of northerners living in Rivers state.

Kanu should not also forget to remove the bounty he placed on Wike's head. It is very important.

It's quite unfortunate...When you have a reckless leader like Nnamdi Kanu,these results are what you get.
All his directives in the past have put the Igbo majority in deep shit..
From hate speech down to referendum & election boycott and now to placing bounty on a sitting governor.
Who even does that? Not even the bokos.
And you expect his tribesmen to congratulate your people living in his state on the event of his death.
I've absolutely nothing against IPOB..Infact they are running a just cause but the leadership of Kanu is so crude.

Rivers: Residents groan as military continues operation against IPOB in Oyigbo

*Residents beg Governor Wike to relax curfew

*Soldiers recovering looted items

Reports coming out from the ongoing military operation in Oyigbo, Oyigbo Local Government area of Rivers State indicate that there is serious humanitarian crisis due to lack of access to food, Medicare and other basic amenities for residents who have been shut in by the 24 hours curfew declared over the area since last Wednesday.

Most affected by the deprivations, according sources from the communities in Oyigbo, are women, pregnant women, children and the elderly.

The woes of the residents who were caught unawares by the sudden imposition of the curfew have been compounded by closure of major markets, pharmacies and hospitals.

While all the banks in the area are not operating, most operators of POS in the area have also ran out of cash. The very few POS operators still in operation do so secretly and charge as much as 20 percent and above as commission, it was gathered.

However sources also said that the military has been making “terrible discoveries in some hideouts with terrible names like ‘Waji Down Below,’ ‘kom-kom,’ ‘Mbano camp,’ and ‘Obeama.’

“Some of the looted items were recovered there. A number of arrests were made. But you cannot rule out intimidation and harassment of innocent residents when there is military engagement.

“The military aerial survey with Air force jets yesterday in Oyigbo sent jitters down their spines. I think they will be more scared tomorrow, (Saturday) because I learnt from military sources that there is going to be military show of force in Oyigbo,” said the source.

However, the sources who spoke to PM NEWS from Oyigbo, lamented the increasing hunger in the area as many of the residents have exhausted their stock of food.

They therefore advocated that humanitarian organizations like Rotary, Red Cross and National Emergency Management Agencies, NEMA and others should be allowed into Oyigbo to provide succor for the people.

They also appealed to Governor Nyesom Wike to relax the 24 hours curfew and allow residents to open the markets and shops for residents to have access to food and medicare.

The ongoing military launched following the events of Wednesday October 21 when hoodlums suspected to be members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, invaded Oyigbo and went on destruction and killing spree of security operatives and their outposts.

In the orgy of violence, the IPOB members allegedly killed six soldiers, and set four policemen ablaze.

They also allegedly burnt over 50 private and public vehicles, including an Armored Personnel Carrier, a State High Court building among others.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer for 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major Charles Ekeocha has insisted that the ongoing operation was not designed to inconvenience residents of Oyigbo.

“We are there to carry out operation to recover weapons carted away from our soldiers who were killed so that the criminals will not use the guns to kill innocent citizens in Rivers and outside the State. We carrying out our search professionally, said Ekeocha.

Most Nigerians are dumbass fools. Even the so-called journalists in the mold of Dele Momodu are patented dunces. I really wondered who wrote above crap for public consumption. If dumbass stiffs who pass as journalists in Nigeria are too lazy to verify what they represent to the public, they should limit their junk journalistic shenanigan on the activities of deluded Nigeria army instead of silly attempts to add twists to the matter. There is absolutely nothing strange in the name of places such as "Waji Down Below,’ ‘kom-kom,’ ‘Mbano camp,’ and ‘Obeama.’. Nwaji or Waji, Kom-Kom, Mbano and Obeama are everyday names and communities in Obigbo LGA. Kom-Kom village or community has been in existence since the Europeans visited Africa and existed since I learnt to call papa. Nigeria cannot tell the history of Nigerian eastern railway line without the mention of Kom-Kom and Obeama. I used to ride to Eke Obeama to buy sugar cane in good old days. One wonders where the idiotic author and collaborator of the murderous Nigerian army and Wike cull the idea that Kom-Kom and Obeama were strange name of places in Obigbo LGA.
