obailala: On Wednesday morning, people just pack their lives and start heading to Umuahia. Obviously a sign that the people carrying this thing on their head are just jobless folks, students and shopless 'umu oso ahias' who believe a change of country name would automatically change their fortunes to riches and comfort.
Huge indictment on Nigeria that such number of people are jobless, and it has not triggered a national emergency.
However you twist, IPOB has the superior narrative, if Nigeria was a serious country, the ones you terms as "jobless touts" will be gainfully employed.
maupe: If out of that 40, the southwest was allowed to present 30 applicants and the east only got 10 applicants. Then it is a win for us. As wise men say "Half bread is better than buns".
As long as fulas give u some crumbs, their ar.se must be licked clean nunu.
The state police command in a swift response has confirmed the arrest of 20 members of different cult groups in the state.
The gangster war which started on Sunday evening extended till Monday evening with two members of a rival group killed within the town.
According to an eyewitness, a member of the cult group was shot to death on Monday evening at the NEPA area by gunmen suspected to be cult members.
The deceased was said to have been with some of his friends at the time of his murder and effort to save him were not successful as the killers confirmed him dead before leaving the spot of the incident, shooting indiscriminately.
Markets and shops within the area were hurriedly closed amidst fear of possible clashes between the deceased drop and the other rival group.
The killings occurred across major streets of the state capital which include, Obanla, Roadblock tipper garage and other area of the town.
A resident of Akure, Kunle Akinfolarin, said the cultists usually move in threes on Okada, armed with dangerous weapons and guns.
Speaking on the development, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Femi Joseph disclosed that no fewer than 20 suspects have been arrested by the police in the state in the last two days.
He however gave the death toll recorded by the police in the last three days to three while he disclosed that the suspects have been involved in killings and armed robbery within the state capital in the last three days.
According to Joseph, preliminary investigation revealed that the victims of the attack killed at various point were cult members and we’re killed as a result of reprisal attack by rival group.
He assured the people of the state especially the resident of Akure, that the police in the state will not rest on it oars to flush out criminals out of the state.
However, the police image maker said the five suspects arrested on Monday at an uncompleted building beside the state House of Assembly were ex-convicts
According to him, three out of the five suspects just regained their freedom after serving their jail terms in the state prison.
Please don't conflate statements . I know the Nigeria of today is an eyesore. What I'm questioning is why you feel it was built to be this way. This is important because it reveals a lot about your mentality. If you believe Nigeria can never be great, it's a no brainer it will never be.
As for bloodshed, the United States holds an unenviable record for murder and crime rates, as compared to other developed countries. Heck Washington DC was once called the murder capital.
Does that make the foundation of the United States "wicked"
A white man came and said "you you you you, from today you are to be called nigerians", without recourse to the deep cultural differences and ways of life of different people he joined together, my brother, let me be frank with you, we are even managing to tolerate one another because of oil, when oil no dey, nigeria go turn killing field. Don't worry keep pretending.
Finally Nnamdi Kanu clears the air on why he demanded for guns and bullets in America
We need guns and bullets to protect our people, our farmlands from murderous fulani herdsmen, self-defense is our right, and you don't do it with catapult.
Why everybody is in panic mode is because they know as long as it is IPOB, then the order is 100% done already, some people who have ulterior motive want this struggle to continue for as long as possible,so they can get to chop their own from Nigerian dirty politics.
jaychubi: Yes Nnamdi kanu is courageous but he lacks wisdom
They have been saying such since 2014, but he keeps proving all doubters wrong.
On the video today, he said if INEC will sign a written agreement that the election in Biafraland will be free and fair then he will advice IPOB top guns to run, but they want to rubbish IPOB with Nigerian elections, exactly the same thing they did to Ojukwu.
"if Nigeria wants to reorganize itself and live in justice and equity, why not give it a try, but if our people have checked everything, right from the end of the war, to the 3 Rs which I did not see any till this now, and then we say staying on our own is best for the long term, we all have to come together and support it".
"Nnamdi Kanu and his group has been peaceful so far, but it pains me so much when I read and watch videos of how police and soldiers kill our young ones, it broke my heart".
"To all our people in high political places, whether APC or PDP or any party you are in, you see the yearnings and agitations of our people and you shout "No No No", because you want to better your own lot, your family and grand children, be wise, there is nowhere food is cooked and kept ready for you, if you want to use your people and do politics, let me say this to you, what is coming, you will feel like you are immune to it, but you will be the first one to be cut out and reduced to nothing".
UzuegbuProsper: This is the thickness of the 8 lane road expansion going on in Owerri now. Tomorrow fake reporters and haters of good works will come to social, print and electronic media to call it China road and you that is not even in Imo State will come to argue with me blindly. Take the first-class information with pictures for verification purposes. This is Bank road Owerri or you call it Asumpta avenue Owerri.
Tokety7: U are far a worst looser ursef than i can ever think of. For u to even think that i am expecting miracles from him from day 1 suggest to me that u can never recover from ur "looser status". he never promised us miracles so only the extremelly foolish will expect such. when he was promising all over the country, u and ur kind were busy watching ait propaganda video and looking for his certificate that was never lost. u see ur life now.........
ogmaskman: Prior to these appointments, Buhari had hinted on his anti-Southeast stance as he promised to favour only the regions that massively voted for him, using the commonwealth, hugely generated from the Southeast. And to further justify the Buhari’s stance, John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman of the APC condemned the Southeast region for voting the candidate of their choice, saying that they committed a political blunder “putting all their eggs in one basket”. The Southeast still await Buhari and Oyegun to explain if Buhari is the president of only those regions who voted for him.
This kind of open lie is the reason you guys are not making progress. Firstly ekweremadu is the #5 citizen of Nigeria against all odds. Secondly, the southeastern part of Nigeria is not the goose that lays the golden egg. Thirdly, even though the east commited political blunder, which is true, the president has embarked on doing the unthinkable for them but for their short sightedness. Second Niger bridge, coastal rail and aba/ikot ekpene/itu/odukpani road budget distortions comes to mind.
Now these are just surface facts to counter the OPs lies about this administration. If we go deeper more lies will be unearthed.
The world is a global village and there are globally acceptable ways of doing things. Whoever said all will be well at a go. The same gowon you blamed for most of the woes, according to you, the igbos a passing thru, is the same man the #1 igbo political figure in Nigeria made the chairman of his book launch. Guess what the title of the book is?...........
The ipob and Masson ships are rudderless. Till the day credible leaders surface, so long biafra.
Last bullet. Call me Yoruba or Hausa fulani na u sabi. The truth is the truth. Proudly Nigerian.
SUPERPACK: its quite unfortunate that the igbos threw all their egg in one basket due to ethnic hatred, the GEJ administration can't boast of a single project in the south east zone, bt the igbos insisted on voting him rather than vote a northener Buhari. GEJ has and will always be the worst thing that happened to the south east. . I challenge anybody to mention a complete federal project in the south east executed by the GEJ administration.
benzion72: let them catch any armed robber, drug Barron and couriers, what of prostitution, all na your people. you cannot eat your cake and have it again. ask your grandpa about his loss during the first Biafra war .your people lost one million souls. war is not a child play
Mrbigman1: When buhari came to do campaign in Onithsa, dis same man and Ngige was telling d igbos to vote buhari and we should never put our egg in one basket shebi?
Now u re paralleling?
Abeg, leave d guy make him flex him power, na god give am.
lastpage: Do you by any means "stammer"? Just kidding, l guess it was your keyboard that was stammering up there!
On a more serious note.... and l will not mince word with you so you might not like what l would say but l am giving you the mindset of "others" which you might not be aware of.
1.) There is no equity in Nigeria, not even amongst the Yorubas who were part of the #teamvictory in the war, the only luck Lagos has was because it was the capital and anywhere in the world, the Capital comes first in development.
2.) I agree that the Northerners who held sway on power after the war, did not go overboard to let you guys feel welcomed. Its a combination of "anger, vissionlessness, selfishness and post-war vendetta" . That was not right if and when we are trying to forge a united Nigeria. ND suffered similar neglect despite being the Apple basket!
3.) The fact that Igbos did not actually "openly accept" defeat (remember Ojukwu was still in Ivory Coast for some time before he wss pardoned to come back home) and accept their role in what led to the war (as they still do today) gave the impression that they were only "bidding their time" to start another war of secession.
4.) This created an atmosphere of distrust such that "others" were wondering what these Igbos might try to do, if you give them too much room and power. The impoverization was deliberate though we also have to acknowledge that the fact that the Igbos tend to be Nomadic and live outside their own domain also contributed to their under-development!
5.) Some Igbo "leaders" are also to blame as they play "sell-out" of their people, for personal gains. From Nzeribes, to Ojukwu himself (l know Igbos wont like that part but l think he should have been a God father "anointing from behind", instead of playing partisan Politics when he came back as that would have given him more respect and bargaining power; just my opinion). I also wonder why Igbo Governors have not find it in their heart to "come together and use their allocation to do meaningful collaboration projects that would uplift their area...they are not poor mind you, as a people! but have nothing to show for it in the East itself...maybe in Lagos sha)
6.)Even up till today, there is still that trust deficit between Igbos and other Nigerian tribes, not just Yorubas alone. Even their closest neighbour, the Niger Deltans still view them with distrust. But How can you "completely trust" people who dont believe in the nigerian project?
so we have a "chicken and egg" situation here: *Igbos agitate for Biafra because they are neglected by Nigeria and are not properly integrated *Nigeria feels Igbo are not trying to properly ingrate into Nigeria because they still want to actualize Biafra and cannot be trusted with anything, especially Power, in the nigerian equation.
Who should break the ice? I think Igbos need to show Nigerians that they are onboard the Nigerian ship FULLY. No tjust waiting to seize an opportunity! I say this because when you have a "chicken and Egg situation", you only need to go back and look at the "antecedents" to decide which should give first.
Take the last election as an example: Igbos wanted all hell to break lose so they can seize the opportunity to secede and actualize Biafra. But meanwhile, they were urging the ND folks on, like they were really rooting for them because they think some injustice is being done to them for trying to vote our former President Jonathan. Other Nigerians know and see this. It is this kind of scenario that makes "Nigeria" to consciously suppress Igbos.
Igbos have also been known to be unstable (forgive my use of that word) and to not stand solidly behind what is right, even if they dont benefit from it. Take the Saraki scenario as another example: Igbos knew what Saraki did was treacherous. Such Vile humanbeing MUST never be put anywhere near a position of responsibility but because it is a "dagger in the heart of Yorubas", Igbos are willing to go along with it. When you behave that way, you are sending out the wrong signals and telling others that you are "unreliable and undependable".
I can go back to the past thirty of forty years wherein Igbos have acted the spoiler role (NPN Vs.UPN, SDP Vs NRP, Abiola Saga, Renaming of Unilag, e.t.c). In most cases, it is directed at Yorubas but meanwhile, the Northerners who reap the benefit dont give a phuck about Igbos. For them, they have seem the Igbos thru and thru. Mind you, the Northerners are not that "indecisive" as the Westerner Yoruba when it comes to swift actions and they follow themselves dogmatically. Yorubas have this penchant for not following "orders", except they completely agree to it (Obasanjo's first term is an example)
In summary (l dont want to dwell too much on these examples as it will raise other arguments again), I think the igbos should throw the Olive branch first and let Nigerians embrace them. The likes of Nnamdi Kanu is not doing such effort any favors at all. I will also suggest that Igbos not put all their eggs in one basket because things dont always go as planned. That your sworn enemy might be your saving grace when the time comes!
It is not that we actually like the Hausas (Sharia and blood-letting Vs. Born-to-rule mentality) and we collude with them, but we have found them to be at least more reliable than the Igbos. We can tolerate their excesses and we can also make our own demands which they also know when to "bow to" (as in Presidency and other political matters) otherwise, they know what we are capable of doing without even fighting! Babangida will remember us, if not Abacha! Igbos too have to know when to stop boasting and use "deft tactics" to achieve set objectives!
Chai, who da phuck am l to turn myself into "igbo adviser" sef, abi dem don dash me wife?
