Today I noticed restrictions on My two active accounts on access bank and fidelity bank.

My debits cards affiliated with these accounts have been rendered "Inoperable"

I think the government have frozen my bank accounts for supporting the #Endsars protests

Did you receive funds for the protests in your account?

Vulcanheph:
I used to judge nnamdi kanu based on what I used to read here on nairaland .... but after watching his videos/audio speeches I've come to realise that not only is he intellectual but every single word that comes out of his mouth is the gospel truth..... FYI I'm not IPOB , I'm not even Igbo, I might not support him 100% but I believe he is right about Nigeria.... for anyone badmouthing him kindly indicate or state where anything he has said that has been wrong or a lie.

He said 99% of Igbo women are Prostitutes.

He said Blacks are evil and Satan is a black man.

He said Buhari is dead and we have an imposter sitting in Aso Rock.

He said 100% of the resources that sustain the whole of Nigeria come from Biafraland.

He said when Biafra finally comes, the world will come to an end.

Its obvious the man is sick.

Whoever wrote this report is an enemy of state. God is watching.

Neddstark:
Some people were shot

Sanwo-Olu never clime he saw protesters with gunshot wounds. I cant say the same about hoodlums though.

Same fake video collated together with gunshot noise superimposed on it.

drskyfly007:
This argument is needless..I'm a medical doctor and I can confidently tell you there were casualties at the lekki shooting...

Not every one supports sharing of their loved ones dead pictures all over the internet..Some prefer confidentiality! don't be insensitive pls.

Why are we even arguing about the number of death whether 1 or 20?

A life lost is so painful....pray you don't lose a loved one!

The grouse of the matter is not whether people were shot dead or not but for the fact that soldiers used live ammunition to shoot at unarmed protesters..

Which hospital did you see the dead bodies?

Alxmyr:
He has always been a noise maker then.

We will find out if he is in 48 hours.

Abuja natives say they won’t vote APC in 2019

GOODNESS ADAOYICHIE 03/19/2018

Abuja natives are not happy with the Buhari-led APC.

A group, Abuja Indigenous Association, say they will not be voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019 general elections.
Addressing journalists in Abuja at the weekend, spokesman of the group, Ahmadu Yunusa Yusuf, said Abuja natives have lost confidence in the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government.

Yusuf accused their stakeholders of failing to channel their pressing problems to President Buhari.

The group blasted President Buhari for failing to appoint an FCT indigene as minister.

“We can’t imagine that none of these council chairmen has ever gone to the media asking Mr. President to appoint an FCT indigene as minister. And we want to make it categorically clear that we will not vote APC come 2019 election,” he declared.

He said the natives would soon embark on another protest against the APC government in the coming weeks.

Are we supposed to off the mic?

Where is the evidence he made these threats?

BafanaBafana:
Who is Nnamdi Kanu? Was he the one who started endsars?
I've never heard of him

No, he is the escapee on the run from the Nigerian courts. I hear he is hiding in Germany.

iddonla:
I am a yoruba guy, an ikale man from okiipupa local govt in ondo state..

and I want the southern nigeria to unite before the elections..

yoruba has been president,same with south south.

I think it's time of the igbos..

we yorubas should rally round a igbo man with good record..preferably peter obi, this hausa/fulani are really taking us for a ride..

using divide and rule all the time..

NNPC, DPR has workforce of 95% northerner in key positions.

SOUTHERN NIGERIA ..Pls wake up and unite

Mind you a lot of northerners will disguise as igbo or yoruba to spite either of this great tribe against themselve..

We wil choose the best candidate, not based on ethnicity or religion. That should be the message here.

ibedun:
This horrible statement by the Nigerian Army should be shouted down by every living person in the South. The Nigerian Army is constituted to protect the people NOT to be used against the people by a ffcking Ethnic Fulani government that we have in Nigeria.

This people are really crazy!!!!!

The southerners MUST stand up against this nonsense!!!!

Making it a North v South issue would bring the whole thing to an abrupt end.

SARS has been disbanded. Let every "youth" return to their homes and wait for the reforms that have been promised.

holaralph:
REMOVE ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH END SARS IN YOUR PHONES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't ignore. Read through and warn your children.
Just as I left the hospital

Before I got to the intersection.

They pulled before us in a black Toyota Sienna.

Blocking us from moving further.

These men.

In black and blue jeans.

And black tight t-shirts.

Heavily armed.

Sunglasses as usual.

Climbed out of the vehicle.

My driver exhaled heavily.

"These people again."

Eight men.

Two moved toward the Taxify.

Gun raised.

Cocking their rifles as though they had caught some criminals.

I sat calmly.

If you are a young man who frequents Taxify or Uber in Lagos, you'd probably get used to that embarrassment.

I had nothing with me just my phone.

And the medication I had gotten from the hospital.

I was so weak.

Massive headache.

While they approached I asked my driver.

"Who are those guys?"

"Haaa. Bros, na SARS o."

I said.

"I thought they have banned these guys?"

He looked at me.

"For wia. Na today?"

I sighed.

The two approached one on each side of the car. I kept my hands in plain sight and made no sudden moves.

One of the men shouted at my driver.

"You no go wind down? Abi you want us to beg you?"

The Taxify driver quickly hit the window button as he screamed forcing a smile.

"Aaah officer of the law no vex, sir! I throw way salute."

The one who had shouted approached my window.

I was looking away.

He shouted.

"Oga, you no dey greet person abi you no see us?"

I slowly turned my head and looked at him.

"Officer, good afternoon, sir."

"Afternoon. Who are you?"

I was about to answer.

He shouted.

"Oga, come down?!"

One of his folks standing a few steps away shouted.

"Who be dis person wey no dey hear us? Na one of those protesters? Devil go welcome am for hell now if he be one of those protesters."

He cocked his gun and approached my Taxify.

It was a lonely road.

No onlookers.

A few cars passed by the other side of the lane.

I gently got down from the car.

I greeted again.

Both of them.

"Officers, good afternoon, sir."

My driver came out and said.

"Na my passenger! I pick am from that hospital down the road."

The one who had asked me who I am shouted at him.

"Shut up! Did we ask you anything? You dey mad? Your moda!"

Then he turned to me.

"Oga, who are you?"

"My name is Kyrian Chiemelie, sir."

"What do you do? Wetin dey your pocket?"

"I am a writer, sir."

"Journalist?"

"No, sir. Author, scriptwriter, filmmaker, sir."

"Oga, wetin dey your pocket?"

"My phone, sir."

"Bring it out."

I dug out my phone.

"Unlock it."

"Why?"

The other one shouted attracting the rest, pointing his gun at him.

"You are asking us questions? Are you stupid?"

I said.

"No, sir. But none of you has the right to search my phone. I didn't do anything wrong."

One shouted, running toward us.

"Who dey yarn that rubbish? Na one of the protesters? Shoot the modafuvker!"

The other one said.

"We never know na when we search him phone we go know."

The Taxify driver said to me.

"Please, unlock your phone. You know what is going on already."

The one pointing rifle at me shouted.

Eyes widened.

Dark lips.

Unsmiling face.

"Oga, unlock your phone for the last time!"

As I used my fingerprint he snatched my phone from me immediately.

Handed it to the last folk who approached us.

He seemed to be the leader.

He started to go through my phone as he said.

"What did you say you do again?"

"I am a filmmaker, sir."

"Actor?"

I shook my head.

"Basically writing."

He looked at me.

"You look tired."

I said.

"I just dey come back from the hospital. The one down there."

"Wetin dey do you? COVID-19?"

"No, sir. Na stress and little sickness. My doctor has given me some tablets, I will be fine in a couple of days."

As he scrolled through my phone the others watched.

Gun pointed up, down. A few at me.

I remained chilled.

He asked.

"And you are not one of the end SARS protesters."

I remained silent.

One of them moved toward me as though he wanted to hit me his rifle.

I dodged.

"Oga, dey ask you, you dey ignore am."

The man said.

"Leave am. Make I see end SARS pictures on his phone first and he is gone with the gun."

I was still silent.

A few minutes later.

One said to the one with my phone.

"Oga, did you see any pictures of end SARS on his phone?"

"I never see one."

I said.

"Sir, can I go, please? There is nothing on my phone."

He looked at me.

"Are you teaching us our job?"

"Not at all, sir. But there is nothing on my phone. My doctor said I should not stand too long."

Two laughed.

"You dey tell us na. We wey no get doctor make we die. We wey dey use chamist cure our infection and malaria."

I didn't say a word.

One of them approached me and showed me some images on his phone.

Dead bodies.

Fresh corpses of youth, both male and female.

Lying by the bush.

Blood gushing from bullet wounds.

I looked at him, in fear.

He said.

"Shey dem dey shout end SARS we no dey catch anybody again o. But na make we see pictures of end SARS for person phone the person is gone. Dis ones wey you dey see so na some of the protesters o. Shey dey don die like dis? Dey will keep dying."

One shouted at him.

"Why you dey tell am this thing? Why you dey leak our secret? Do you know who he is?"

"Shey he talk say na filmmaker? He won't do anything."

Goosebumps rushed over me.

In actuality of how these guys are killing in reckless abandon.

The one with my phone said.

"I no see anything for him phone. He is free to go."

He handed my phone back to me.

Then said.

I took my phone and said.

"Thank you."

As I headed back to the Taxify, a Lexus Jeep was approaching behind us.

They rushed immediately and flew it to stop.

The Taxify driver got in and we started to drive off.

While I looked behind, watching as they dragged five guys out of the car.

About three wore t-shirts.

Boldly written 'EndSARS'.

The Taxify turned right at the intersection and I couldn't see anymore.

He shouted.

"Ah. These people are in trouble."

But I heard it barely ten seconds later.

It was loud from a distance.

Pooo!

Pooo!!

Pooo!!!

Three gunshots.

These guys are evil, I repeat very evil, kindly delete anything that has to do with ''ENDSARS''in your phone ����

This looks like an IPOB report. No other mainstream outfit carried the story. The guy is obviously a good writer.

Redcrafton:
Every region should be semi-autonomous.

You don't need to go to Abuja for building your roads.

One region can decide to build their road and toll it...keeping the roads in good shape...while the other region might decide not to toll their roads and have them in bad conditions. Its up to them and their people.

This is against the current situation where the minister in charge in Abuja decides which roads to build.

Don't we already have each state building its own roads and we see the mess they have made of it. State roads are worse than FG roads.

eyiolarhomisore:
I foresee Nigeria breaking before 2023

You funny die. Unless there is another word for breaking.

Simplyleo:
Kidnapping and armed robbery higher in the north than anywhere else?

I still dont understand why old men will lie to themselves, then give themselves pat on the back and everybody goes back home knowing very well they lied to themselves.

Could this be the reason biafra exists only on the internet?

You dey mind them.

Techm0:
You talk as if Drinking beer or driving a car is a luxury that Nigerians should not enjoy

Look if you drive a Toyota Corolla (2003- 2007) Honda Accord EOD(04 to 07) or Toyota Camry (99 to 05). You are not living luxurious but living very economical....

Bike fare from your house to any junction is ₦100 to ₦200, regardless of your mode of transportation in urban Nigeria , residential area to business districts would cost you ₦500 so to and fro journey you are looking at ₦1000 to ₦1500 where as 10 litters ₦1600 in a 4 cylinder engine would take you far more..

So in the real sense people taking public transport pay faaaar more in Nigeria since we don't have a metro system


And most hardworking men in most countries relax after work taking beer and watching TV with family and friends or having sex and hanging out with a fine woman.. both beer and fine woman are no longer available for Nigerian men and they have psychological needs for escape pleasure after hard work


whichever side you belong, North or South, APC or PDP facts remains things are abit harder

.

Nobody is saying things aren't harder but lets not just make things up just to buttress the point.

While things are more expensive, a lot of people have also seen increase in wages and income albeit not significant enough to cover the increase in price of transport and products. Bus drivers have increased fares, market sellers have increased prices. These guys are earning more from the rest of us. Some of us have increased salaries of our staff, including domestic staff who now earn up to N40k per month from the days of N25k per month. The real issue is the world economy is taking a serious beating right now and it has nothing to do with North, South, APC or PDP. And things are going to get worse unless God intervenes which we should be praying for, and not only in Nigeria but worldwide. So let those who still have money to drink beer, abstain for a season and save that little extra bob for the rainy day. Trust me, they will thank God for the times they could drink beer hen the real worldwide recession starts.

Techm0:



A cup of rice is ₦100 similar price for
Noodles and bread, petrol of 10 litters goes for ₦1600, a bottle of beer goes for ₦300 to ₦400

For an average Nigerian, drinking 3 bottles of beer ₦1200, driving around your car ₦1600(if you don't fuel a Gen also), and eating good food daily with your family ,runs you close to ₦5000 to ₦10000 daily especially factoring other daily living cost

You shouldn't be driving a car and drinking 3 bottles of beer if you don't have a decent income. People in the so called developed nations get rid of the extras when their income reduces. That is common sense.

IPOBians are really daft people. lol

Where is the proof that TSTV has the broadcast rights for the English Premier League?

Cryomancer:
So they've finally agreed that they are running a fraudulent administration..

This is the 3rd time subsidy is being removed since 2015 and I hope they will not remove it again in 2022

It's obvious this current administration never had any economic plan, all they wanted was just to be the rulling party.

You obviously can read and comprehend what he said. Shame.

eejo:
If Islamic State is not defeated their leader show go and pray in Mosul Mosque. Iraqis defeated Islamic State two years ago but late last year the regional players started having issues giving the Jihadist time to build sleeper cell in the Northern Iraqi Mountains. Islamic State of West Africa is different from Boko Haram. Don't twist my post.

You are just exposing your ignorance with each new post.

ISIS is a terrorist group. They don't go about turning up in public places to prove their existence. Their mission is to spread terror using unconventional methods like bombings and hit and run attacks.

Like I pointed out in my earlier post, Islamic State is still carrying out hundreds of attacks in Iraq every month. They have not been defeated.

eejo:
I made reference to Islamic state. There are many groups in Iraq along sectarian divide and they always target Americans and their Allies. Boko Haram and Bandits can be defeated if Nigerians rise up against them like the way Iraqis rose up against Islamic State.

Iraqis have not defeated any Islamic State terrorist group. Stop peddling false information.

ISWAP - The Islamic State in West Africa
ISIS - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

Both are the same group. The only difference is the place they operate. And note that [b]ISWAP [/b]were never in Iraq. That was [b]ISIS [/b]and they are still there bombing and killing Iraqis on a daily basis. There are a lot more ISIS terrorist attacks in Iraq than Boko Haram/ISWAP attacks in Nigeria. Not even close.

ISIS launched more than 100 attacks in Iraq in August, a sharp uptick from previous month
https://www.foxnews.com/world/isis-launches-more-than-100-attacks-in-iraq-throughout-august-a-sharp-uptick-from-previous-month

eejo:
I cannot explain why a Country with over 150 million people are under the torment of Terrorists who are not up to 100,000 souls. [b]Iraqis rose up and drove Islamic state out of their country. [/b]The day Nigerians wake up from their sleep and storm these criminals hideout the country will be free from insecurity. I challenge the Nigerian Army to lunch a final battle plan and ends this once and for all.

You sure Iraqis have driven out terrorists from their country? Or your intention is just to spread false news?

Diplomats: Roadside bombing targets British convoy in Iraq

By Samya Kullab | AP

September 15, 2020 at 1:09 p.m. GMT+1

BAGHDAD — A roadside bombing targeted British diplomatic vehicles in Baghdad on Tuesday, the British Embassy and Iraqi officials said. There were no injuries but the attack is fueling concerns of armed groups outside of the state’s control.

The attack targeted an embassy convoy on a Baghdad highway close to the Umm al-Tabool Mosque, the British Embassy and Iraqi security officials said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing.

The roads and the area of the attack, between the airport and the heavily fortified Green Zone, are often used by diplomatic missions, the Iraqi official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The Green Zone is home to the seat of Iraq’s government and also many foreign embassies, including the British and the U.S.

“The safety and security of our staff is of paramount importance and we are in close touch with the Iraqi authorities,” said a statement from teh British Embassy.

The attack is the first in months to target a diplomatic convoy and comes amid near daily rocket attacks aimed at the Green Zone and Iraqi army bases hosting U.S. troops. Rocket attacks have rarely lead to significant losses.

Tuesday’s bombing is the third attack in the last 24 hours against foreign missions.

Two rockets were fired at the Green Zone late on Monday but caused to casualties; one was intercepted by the U.S. embassy’s C-RAM defense system, two Iraqi security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity under regulations.

Earlier on Monday, a roadside bomb targeted an convoy of vehicles carrying equipment for Americans on the main highway in Babylon province, south of Baghdad.

The rocket attacks surged at an alarming pace when Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi traveled to the U.S. last month to conclude strategic talks. They have put pressure on his administration, which has promised to reign in armed groups acting outside of state authority.

The recent attacks come as al-Kadhimi introduced sweeping administrative changes, including naming a new governor of Iraq’s Central Bank, which provoked criticism from some political blocs.

Whoever wrote this must be very daft.

Here we go...

baralatie:
