If Nigerians should relocate to their ethnic enclaves due to the menace of Boko Haram or any other religious group, it is prudent that each ethnicity takes total control of the resources located its area of abode.

This can only be achieved if every right-thinking person associated with the geographical expression called Nigeria supports its disintegration. This is the perfect opportunity to terminate the project known as Nigeria.

we must terminate this union,that will be our collectively fight to cut out from these people,i swear with my blood these country will not last,

look!! we are taking too much from these idieeoots they will pay for it, am sure of that these monkeys are killing prominent igbos with money,that have dependants families,mums,dad,sisters,brothers, relatives, i hate these people with passion

People of adazi nnukwu we pray that GOD will give you hearts to take the lost we are sorry governor obi now it has affected your own people everybody is not happy but ka anyi chere ka umu igbo kwa ikemba na udo,after that they will surely pay for their genocide killings of igbos in the north

here is the news

Boko Haram: Adazi mourns death of 13 indigenes

Adazi-Nnukwu, a sleepy community in Awka, the state capital of Anambra state is in pains. When information came to Anambra State last week that many people of Igbo extraction residing in the northeastern town of Mubi in Adamawa State were killed by members of the infamous Boko Haram sect, the people of Adazi-Nnukwu community never imagined that 13 indigenes of the community were among those killed.

Members of the dreaded sect had sprayed bullets on a group of people holding a meeting at Mubi. The said meeting was convened by members of Adazi-Nnukwu Town Union in Mubi to plan the burial ceremony of their member, Mr. Simeon Aso killed earlier by the sect while relaxing with a friend in the town.

It was gathered that midway into the meeting, trigger-happy members of Boko Haram swooped on the people and gunned down 12 of them instantly. That incident caused a chain reaction as the meeting ended abruptly and those who survived narrated the story to the families of the deceased members.

According to a survivor who managed to come back home, all the Igbos residing in the town had to seek refuge into the police barracks for fear of being exterminated.

“We started hearing many gunshots through the windows,” said Okey , 48, who attended the meeting. “Everyone scampered for safety, but the gunmen chanted: ‘God is great, God is great’ while shooting at us.”Okey said he hid under a table and escaped from a back door.

The gunmen also carried knives and machetes and in less than 24 hours after the incident, the various families back home in Anambra State had received the information, thus turning the Adazi -Nnukwu community into mourning.

Some of the families that lost people were Obiakonwa family, which lost one person; Aso family, which lost one person; Aghachi whose only son was killed; Aforka whose family member was killed along with their sister- in- law and Mgbemena family which also lost one person.

When Saturday Vanguard visited the community, it was like a ghost town as even the Afor Adazi-Nnukwu market was virtually empty with many people paying condolence visits to the bereaved families.

Boko Haram members in action

Churches in the town and other parts of the state have also been praying for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives to the sectarian killings in Mubi and other parts of the North.

Apart from Adazi-Nnukwu, the neighbouring community of Agulu, which is Governor Peter Obi’s home town, lost two at the Mubi killings, while some other communities in Anambra State also recorded loss of their people. Some Igbos who have managed to return to the East said the official figure reported as the casualties was much less than the actual number of people who died.

Emmanuel Aso, a relation of Semeon who was the first victim of the massacre whose burial arrangement caused the death of others, said at Adazi that the family had earlier urged his late brother to return when the threat by members of Boko Haram started. “If only he had listened to us, he would have been alive today,” Emmanuel said.

Another indigene of the community and member representing Anaocha 1 Constituency in the State House of Assembly, Mr. Ebele Ejiofor told Saturday Vanguard that when the casualty figure from Adazi alone was made known, the entire community was thrown into confusion.

“Can you imagine what it means for a community to lose 13 of its people one day in far away Adamawa State through such an ugly situation?” According to him, many of them are well to do people in the community, adding that the loss was just too much to bear.

Barely 24 hours after the incident, Igbo residents in Mubi sent an Save –Our-Soul, SOS, to their people back home to find a way of rescuing them, saying they were trapped in the Northern part of the country. In the message relayed through their member, Mr. Anthony Ezenwakwe, who is already back home in Anambra, the people said they were finding it difficult to get means of transportation to convey them to the East.

Following the message from Ezenwakwe, Ejiofor who represents the constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly called on the federal and state governments to protect the lives and property of his people from further unlawful killing and destruction of property.

According to the Anambra lawmaker, “many families in my constituency whose relations are residing in Mubi and other parts of the North have been making enquires on the situation in the North. We are confused as to what to tell them since the reports coming from that part of the country were frightening. My plea is that government should do something immediately to arrest this ugly development because human lives are involved.”

Though the Ezeigbo in the area, Chief Malachy Agbazue was said to have been liaising with the Lamido Mubi, Alhaji Issa Amaodu to ensure that no further killings take place, the people from the Southern part of the country were believed to be still apprehensive and were eager to return home. It was gathered that Lamido has been assisting those who fled their homes financially, while waiting for further action from government.

GUO OKEKE

STRONG MAN, AGU DI NA MMADU  


I DID NOT PLAN TO BE A TRANSPORTER; I STARTED FROM SCRATCH– G. U. OKEKE
It is not always that people plan to undertake a particular kind of business before they go into it. Circumstances and situations, as well as providence, could lead people into engaging in businesses they did not initially plan to go into. Sometimes, they get into such ventures and still prosper.
Chief G. U. Okeke, chairman, G. U. O. Group of Companies, which includes Motor   Transport, is one of those providence must  have led into transport business and he went into it with full determination, honest and handwork and has indeed excelled.
Daily Sun went in search of this transport magnate to find out the secret behind his success, and some revelations were actually made. Though this hand working, successful business mogul almost tactically withdrew from active business to give rest to himself as he advances in age, he still always has cause to go out and oversee a few things, even at odd hours. He gave this writer an appointment to be at his house before 8am on the interview date and even before he got there at 7.45 am, the chief was already out. He came back an hour later, and eventually granted the interview.
Excerpts:
Tell me briefly about yourself, your parents and what they did, which possibly influenced you.
My names are Godwin Ubaka Okeke (MON). I am a native of Adazi-Ani local government area of Anambra State. I was born in the mid-40s into the family of late Chief Joseph Okeke and Late Mrs. Christiana Okeke. My father died at 80, while my mother died in 1997 at 82.
Both my father and my mother were traders. Though, initially, my father was a carpenter. I am the sixth child in a family of eight children – seven boys and a girl.
Where did you have your primary education?
I attended Central School Onitsha for my Primary Education and then Community Secondary School, Nnobi, for my post primary education.
How did you come into business?
During the war between 1967 and 1970, I was coordinating officer for Biafran Army, and I later became their contractor, evacuating food items from Ihiala Airport. From my school days, I was helping my parents in business and, through these, I gathered experience and developed interest in business. I learnt a lot from my parents.
When the war ended in 1970, I trekked from Adazi-Ani to Nnewi to see things for myself. That was a distance of eight kilometres, and I saw that everywhere was peaceful.
How did you start the transport business?
In fact ,I did not plan to go into transportation. What happened was that two days after the end of the war, I drove down to Onitsha in my car to observe the event. Everywhere was calm; the soldiers were not molesting anybody. After going round, I saw some people who were going to Enugu, and they requested that I took them to Enugu at one pound each.
That was a lot of money then. I carried them to Enugu in my car and also brought some people back. That day I made sixteen pounds, and I was encouraged. I was combining that with my trading business. I did that for a few months and raised a little capital, with which I started going to Lagos to make purchases.
Where was your business stall located at that initial stage.
I had my stall at Fegge in Onitsha, where the market was located and when the then Administrator of East Central State, Mr. Ukpabi Asika, completed building Ochanja Market, I moved it, along with other traders.
What was your stock in trade then?
I was selling towels, ’Kerchiefs, head ties, underwears, bed sheets, baby dresses and some fancy materials.
How did you eventually develop to a big time businessman that you are today?
In 1973, I travelled to Japan, Hong Kong, China, Holland and UK. By then the exchange rate was between 34–36 kobo per dollar. In Japan, I bought some goods and started developing good relationship with some of the people there. By 1971, I had started buying Kombi buses.
You are one of the largest Luxury Bus owners in the country today. How did you come to that level?
I bought my first two Mercedes 911 trucks, one each from Ekene Dili Chukwu and Izuchukwu Transport companies. By then the cost of one was N9 million. The 911 started carrying goods from Onitsha to Lagos and back.
By 1980, I went into luxury buses with the old model Mercedes 0362. We had advantage later by purchasing 0364 model, which was the latest model then.
How many vehicles do you have in your transport fleet now?
I cannot tell you that now. My children can give you the answer to that, because I have started handing over to my children. I no longer play very active part.
What was the number before you started withdrawing from active service? Just give a rough estimate?
Before I started handing over, I know I had more than 100 vehicles plying various routes. They were financed by different banks.
What would you say has been the secret of your success as a business man?
I must tell you that the secret of my success is honesty. When we started, some of us borrowed money from the banks but failed to pay. I have been borrowing since then and will continue to borrow. The banks lend to me because I pay. If you add honesty to hardwork and wisdom, then the fear of God, you will be blessed and you prosper.
What are your major challenges as a stakeholder in transport industry?
There are challenges confronting  transporters – bad roads, armed robbery operations, high interest rate and high cost of vehicles. Some factors are not favourable to transport operators, but we have been wading through the tide. I think the Federal Government owes a lot to transport operators, especially the Luxury Bus owners. The price of diesel was increased from about N40–N150 in the last one year and we have not increased transport fares. That is sacrifice, which should be appreciated by government. We need to be compensated.
There has been debates on the proposed removal of oil subsidy, what is your take on that?
I want to advise that Nigeria should listen to professionals and heed their advice, so that we do not repeat the mistake we made during the administration of General Babangida. Nigerians were then advised by professionals to accept devaluation of the Naira as an economic measure to avoid the travails we went through, and we all, rather than accept that wise professional advice, clamoured against it and compelled the General Babangida’s government to take the Structural Adjustment Programme pill, which later adjusted our economy out of tune, to the detriment of all and sundary.
History is about repeating itself. Those who are benefiting from the oil subsidy are busy pushing Nigerians into rejecting the subsidy removal and majority of the people are, once again, basing their argument on sentiment rather than sound reasoning. The fact is that very few are making billions out of the subsidy, while the country is losing. We must listen to the professionals if we must develop our economy and the nation. And the professionals are saying that oil subsidy should be removed. I stand by their advice, based on their expert advice.
People are saying that transport fare will increase, if fuel subsidy is removed. Remember that the cost of diesel increased from N40 to N150 in the last year and the transport fare has not increased. It will be the same with petrol. People are charging the atmosphere for nothing. It is those that are benefiting from the subsidy that are making noise. The subsidy money should be invested in building good roads, providing security, hospitals and improving our education system. If they are utilized well in those areas, Nigeria will compare favourably among the developed countries of the world. It is important to check and ensure that the money is not used in funding unnecessary oversea trips.

still ask on what purpose are Nigeria rioting 4?if transportation is gonna be the same price hw can it affect food price? fuel cabals free your people from poverty is not on,

GUO okeke, former chairman of onitsha main market vigilantes, thank you for your good work,GOD will reward you 4 helping umu igbo

justice justice we will shame the evil men and women,blood suckers

only the blind foools can ignore what is happening

Sam_Ikenna:
I'm Igbo, do I really have a right?
My ethnic group is Igbo, do my people have a right to choose their country?
I'm a christian, can I worship as I deem fit?

If you say yes to the above then why are you hounding me over subsidy protest? Why are you angry at me for leaving in 1967? Why are you killing me in the north even when I was fleeing for  my "landlocked" homeland?

You won the war, you have all the states and local government areas, you have the army, you have the navy, you have FCT, you have taken most of oil producing Igbo communities out of Igboland, you killed 50,000 of my people in 2 months (1966 pogrom), you killed over 2 million of my people when you declared war on us for daring to leave you, you rigged the census and have continued unabated, you gave my people 20 pounds, you have no federal presence in my land, you systematically purged my people from civil service after the civil war, you created hate between my people and their neighbours, you designated my people's property as abandon, and you have all the presidency to yourself before and after the civil war. You have it ALLLL! You don't need me! Leave me alone, please I beg you leave me alone! What more do you want from me?  

The pain I bear you don't know, the humiliation you brought to me you don't realize, the anger in me is better left unleashed, please let me be.

In my heart of hearts I wished you would leave me and at least enjoy your war booty but I have come to understand that the reason you refused to leave me alone is not because you are inherently bad, its not because you are perpetually evil, no its not. The reason you have refused to leave me alone is because you are incapable of doing so.

You may gloat on my pains, anger, loss, etc but I will forgive you. However, the humiliation and shame you brought to me is personal and will carry consequences. I counted my losses very very long time ago and during that time I stopped crying, I stopped seeking for your justice, I stopped believing in you, I knew I was on my own and embraced my fate, I knew you owed me in material terms, I knew you owed me in blood and tears, and then, and then, I knew that someday I would find you and I would reciprocate your "kindness" knowing you wouldn't consider it personal.

this is it.well done

all sort of FAKE ID trying to talk igbo and SS nonsense,SS even no that we don't need anybody to stand tall,we have enough both human and natural resources to cater for ourselves,so all those inciting hate between SS/SE will not work   even they will be silly to fall for your tricks never again,you took oil from who and gave it to who?guess what!be truthful for once.WHO is fooling who 419 tricks to steal from somebody at the sametime brain washing them, of all the oil marketers how many of them are from SS?

true talk they are so jobless that in Lagos, even common touts on the street help and  rescue some patients in eko hospital,they were demanding for some change,now how can u reason with people with that kind of mentality? well you don't blame them is the system,the system is fuccked here is the video





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B39DrCVYhI

why cant you help your fellow man and feel better that you saved life,must you ask for compensation?not only here alot of business people go through hell from this touts. on a daily basis

One_Naira:
I will not be surprise if this is another Alj_harem ids. You people are aware insulting others, would not force them into a protest? You are aware of that. We are not living in Holocaust era. Igbo mentioned they are mourning their brothers, now that translate back to using them to make money.  Keep showing you true colors, the amount of Biafra succession increased dramatically in less than a year because of una. ROFL. Continue jor, it will help our course in the long run. I actually thank una.

Whatever puts you to sleep at night. Nigerians are so ignorant it is becoming a disease. A group of Nigerians gathering together supporting the belief that Nigeria will dis-ingrate by 2015 yet you believe they want presidency of Nigeria in 2015? What stupidity is that? Na wa ohh. As for the Igbo up north, I will not defend them, they refuse to learn their lesson thus why SE/SS aren't fighting like we did before.

This is pure hatred and jealousy.  Even I know all this is a pure lie and i'm not from SE, though Igbo.
Nigerian roads in SE is worse than other Nigeria? seriously? didn't they have a thread like this before which opposed everything you wrote? Dude I highly doubt you've left your village and traveled SE at all.
I actually found is comical the amount of denial NL Nigerians provide to themselves. In almost every stastics done of Nigeria be it improvement, landscape, etc SE defeats all Nigeria region excluding SS region and you all still deceive yourself into thinking otherwise. More grease to your elbows, I laugh in Nigeria. I believe those living in a messed up region shouldn't criticized others.

---one I'm from Asaba and I'll do not appreciate devils trying to separate my people from our people. Asaba is an Igbo city whether you ignorant buffons like it or not.  PH has Igbo community, Ndi-Igbo of SE are welcomed into our community as much as they want, no matter the hatred maggot such as yourself display to them. Only ignorant Nigerians will believe you.  Festus Odimegwu reside in Owerri Imo state though has household in some regions of Nigeria including other states in SE Nigeria stop talking crap.  Arthur Mbanefo is not a traditional ruler, his stool was suspended by the Obi of Onticha first of all, secondly he is the ambassador of Nigeria to UN, of course he would reside outside of SE.  Prof. Laz Ekemekwe reside in Anambra state, ROFL. I'm not surprised some NL Nigerians are supporting you, talking about how truthful you are without even knowing any of the people you mentioned. Typical, if it support their bigotry, whether truthful or not, it is a good saying. NL, comical to say the least.

You do not speak for Niger-delta. This is why I highly doubt you are from Niger-Delta. When concerning succession, a typical Niger-delta speaks for his people and just his people. Only ignorant Nigerians will actually believe you are a Niger-deltan.

LMFAO. Oh this scream dayokanu or Alj_harem, I will not be surprised this id belongs to either one of them.

i think the idieeot is just a clown

merengue:
For the people attacking alh harem, he is not me and if you don't like what I have written, suicide is always an option. I am an Urhobo living in Lagos, spent my service year in a horrible hellhole called Ibiasoegbe in Oru West L.G.A of Imo so when I talk about Igbos, I speak from a position of authority. If you are so brilliant in entrepreneurship, relocate and set up factories in your villages, lets see who you will sell your fake products to. The big men like Sunny Odogwu who made money off their suffering during the Civil War are living comfortably in Queens Drive Ikoyi, the poor zombies are still shouting "Biafra", how pitiful.

mr man!! you think you can bark abi? look if you don't want to get unexpected blow that will turn your legs like noddles,keep talking i will spike you with poison

Chidiansel:
Pure jealousy!Ibos ar hardworking,independent minded,industrious,resilint,creative and ar known for their entrepreneurial spirits.Those qaulities always attract jealousy to many other lazy tribes(u know urself),who rely heavily on govt and dubious practices 4 survival.We all know d tribes d so-called cabals come frm.I listened to d so-called conveners led by a political pastor who lost disgracefully at d poll,and who hav drifted frm divine precepts,by his unwholesome utterances,(a pastor dat should devote himself to prayer and ask God for intervention-a pastor,by mere label),i discovered dat many of them ar confused.They ar bundles of failed fustrated rival politicians who wuld not hav fared better had they found themselves in leadership.Nigerians problem is corruption,which is deep seated.One of d ways of fighting it is to stripe d cabals eating up d subsidy. Again i felt FG wanted to take all of them by surprise,instead of d anticipated april to avoid marketers hoarding d fuel before then.It sounds reasonable.Iam not against subsidy removal,but there ar better routes to it:1.D timing is not good enough.2.Certain imperatives wuld hav been put in place,like improved power,transportation network,fixing refineries,etc.3.It wuld hav been applied in batches.Lets go back to d point.Easterners ar on strike,but they dont hav to use invectives or uncouth tongue to drive home their point.They dont hav constitute nuisance to drive home their point.Dis ignorant  and ill-informed poster dat singled out d ibos among d lots,including his allies either hate d ibos or envious of them or both.Ibos ar scattered in all d nooks and crannies of dis nation making decent living thru phenomenal hardwork.How many yorubas ar in South East.They know they cannot compete favourably because of their laziness,parochialism and myopic disposition.Even in Lagos,d ibos outclass them.So d slowpoke dat says d ibos ar illiterates shuld think twice.

WORD!!! bro u cant argue much with people that are already brain dead

if you kill zik you have kill Nigeria, his is the founder mumu

asorocker:
What really is the prolem of Nigeria , is it subsidy or security or what , Are Nigerians ordering their priorities aright by Fighting for Subsid and not for Security , if a more civilized and balanced country was in Nigeria's situation will the fight for subsidy or will the rather get security right and fight for subsidy. i have been thinking about all these for a long time.

I understand the whole subsidy thing is really painful but at the same time i think Nigerians are getting their priorities wrong. and the 1 that confuses me most is Nigerians or rather paid demonstrators demonstrating in New york, London, Canada, finland e.t.c could be it be that there is something happening with subsidy money which Nigerians dont know, does the lives of some Nigerians in Diaspora depend on this subsidy. how come Certain part of the country are crying out loudest in this subsidy war. Are they plain parasites or are they being mischevous.

Coming back home Eastern Nigeria has other issues than subsidy, Most people buy fuel above 100/liter and will be indifferent to any further increase. i really wonder how a region that does not have refinery and even the new refinery allocation does not favour will come out and fight subsidy. A region that has very few Federal Government presence does not need to fight for the government.

both
