Abasilim:
Are these governments you mentioned practicing democracy? Ignorance would be your undoing

You mean the Democracy we now see in the SE Nigeria, where Policemen and Police Stations are legitimate targets for murder and arson by the Terrorist Kanu and his brainless supporters?

Franking:
Amnesty should leave us alone. We love our Buhari. Sai baba. We love Buhari. We love Herdsmen. We love nepotism. We love ineptitude. We love chaos. We love disorderliness. We love Nigeria.

We love Onion thieves we love police killers of the East, we love Kanu the war lord and destroyer of democratic institutions. We love UGM.

In a number of cases, governments and other authorities take unilateral action to block Internet access to Twitter or its content. As of 2019, the governments of China, Iran, North Korea, and Turkmenistan have blocked access to Twitter in those countries.
Amnesty international can go to these other countries and impose Twitter on them.

Elrufai inciting NLC to go on strike

Strike Only in Kaduna. Southern States are sacred cows.

Shameless people onion thieves . So foolish they don’t think of the Lorry loads of their building materials, spare parts, drugs , provisions for their supermarkets, textile materials and more being taken to the north everyday and even now as we speak. If the northerners were animals like them 100 trucks would have been on fire by now.

ICTWeb:
will will import our food with oil.

Palm oil ?

PropaMan:
This one is just thinking about food he'll eat, na crime to chop food without onions?? i hate all this stupid onions talk

You are not wise if you think it’s only onion we are talking about.

In defense of onion thieves. These cretins calling themselves Ohanaeze will not talk about their psychopath War Lord Kanu who is responsible for the war situation that is brewing in their hunger stricken erosion ridden enclave.

His Highness,
The Emir of Kano,
Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero

Your Highness,
ALERT ON UNFOLDING SCENARIOS FOR DESTABILIZATION OF NIGERIA:
We address this letter to you with a deep sense of patriotism and concern for a strong and prosperous northern region in the context of the current Nigerian nation with respect to both historical and current trends and the underlying character of the Igbo people of the South East.
We address you Sir, consciously believing that as critical stakeholder in the affairs of the northern society, you will accept and treat this as a warning from history which repeats itself, according to Karl Marx, once as a farce and twice as a tragedy.
1. LESSIONS OF HISTORY
It is instructive to recount that the Igbo have benefited more than any other tribe in terms of economic monopoly and are the most accommodated and tolerated of all the ethnic groups in Nigeria, despite their notoriety for disregard to every rule of decency and etiquette globally.
They have persisted in spiteful and vile threats on the whole nation as catalyst for the kind of violence that the country faced in 1966 following the first ever military insurrection by their kith.
Setting the protocol for the unfolding agenda, the 1966 coupists decapitated the Prime Minister and the political leadership of the Northern and Western regions, leaving the zenith of Igbo leadership at the federal level and the Eastern region intact.
Since that time, the Igbo have continued to intermittently taunt and rebel against the Nigerian State, demanding to secede and form an independent country called Biafra which was among the key elements that culminated in the Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970 that resulted in colossal death and destruction.
2. RESURGENCE
Decades after, Nigeria is again witnessing the resurgence of separatist agitations, especially by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its ilk, as strategies employed to achieve the results that the coupists of the First Republic failed to realize.
The scene began with the regrouping of the Igbo to launch a brazen, though relatively decent campaign for Biafra under the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
This was eventually hijacked by another rogue group called the IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu whose violent campaign went beyond public lectures to the spread of xenophobic, hateful war messages, targeting the Nigerian state and other non-Igbo ethnic groups.
Kanu and IPOB's activities grew exponentially, ranging from ordering people of other regions out of the South East - particularly northerners, to open declaration of amassing of arms to fight Nigeria.
As these dangerous contours began to spiral with repeated calls to arms by the IPOB leader, the CNG in 2017, took the bold and necessary step to issue a "quit notice" in the famous Kaduna Declaration and followed up with series of communications to the then acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and all major foreign diplomatic missions represented in Nigeria, in which we drew attention to the emerging trends in the country that were pregnant with complications and unforeseen consequences.
Those truly patriotic representations by the CNG aimed to anticipate and forestall the current drift toward anarchy and bloodshed in Nigeria, and also to alert the international community as to where responsibility would ultimately lie if such momentous and terrible events ever came to pass.
Since 2017, on almost a daily basis, IPOB/ESN have coordinated violent attacks, indiscriminate killings and destruction of properties of northerners that continued unceasingly in almost all South Eastern states and some South South communities
The threat grew more existential with revelations of catches of arms meant for the Boko Haram insurgents routinely smuggled into the country and intercepted by the Nigerian authorities, traced to Igbo merchants.
Evidence also abound of how IPOB'S incitement to mass atrocity and possible genocide against the North, and outright rebellion to the Nigerian state, manifested in the ugly incidents of the#EndSARS protests resulting in attacks and killings of security personnel, non-Igbo residents in the East and arson across Western States like Lagos.
The attacks went on literally unchecked climaxing with the cold-blooded massacre of 19 innocent members of a pastoral family in Anambra and more recently, the gruesome assassination of Dr Ahmed Gulak in Imo.
3. THE NORTH
The typology of the current disturbances spreading across all northern states where the fissures between ethnic and religious groups are much more accentuated, suggests a wider plot to cause greater national instability by first diminishing the northern economic, political and educational viability.
It began with an exponential increase in the level of drug addiction and substance abuse driven by outside forces and players particularly Southeastern traders and "pharmacists" who are the main sources of the substances and drugs that target the North.
There is also an established correlation between the arms trade and drug trade in the North, both of which are intended to cause the disintegration of the region and bring about its weakening from within.
OUR CONVICTIONS
The CNG is convinced that the bulk of the support for the violent Biafra agitation coming from the younger generation of the Igbo in the fifty-year bracket with pent up jealousies against the North and its people, are direct results of the dangerous indoctrination and radicalization by their forefathers, political, religious leaders over a long period.
We are also convinced that the dimension of the current agitations and disturbances that have been ongoing ceaselessly since 2017, are aimed at rendering the country practically ungovernable, and ushering in of anarchy and instability thereby occasioning an inter-regional crisis possibly leading to civil war or general unrest that could portend towards the breakup of the country.
Thus the targeting of the North and its people for attacks and irreverent treatment by IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, emboldened by the active support of all Igbo leaders, aim at sparking off retaliation in the North with subsequent attacks to be perpetrated against Northerners in the South-East, thus making it even more likely to insist on dividing the country.

4. OUR STAND
In the light of the observations and inferences drawn above, the CNG hereby arrives at the following inevitable positions:
a. That with the dimension taken by the Biafran agitation that involves attacks and destruction of public utilities, national security assets and personnel, and violence against fellow Nigerians from other parts of the country particularly the North, it has become no longer reasonable to expect us to continue having the Igbo as a federating partner.
b. The fact that the strength of the Igbo agitation rests on youth who are mainly below the ages of 50, with diseased mindsets induced by their forefathers and encouraged by their political, cultural and religious leaders to take up arms against the Nigerian state and northerners, confirms that the nation's unity is definitely negotiable.
c. It is therefore unreasonable for those older Nigerians who are mostly above 70 to insist that the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct whereas the people executing the dangerous Southeast secession agenda are almost entirely below 50.
PRAYERS
Committed to constitutionalism, peace, security, fair play, decent patriotism, love of our country and fellow citizens and respect for elders, CNG hereby urges you as respected leaders to:
1. Act to get the Nigerian state and other critical stakeholders and international players to accept the reality that the only remaining option to avert a civil war and bloodshed is for the Igbo to be allowed to have the Biafra they have used intermittently for decades to destabilize the nation and deny peace to other components of the country.
2. To take urgent steps to check the mass movement of people from the proposed Biafra land into the vast interior of the North as well as the permanent nature of that migration.
3. To set up a machinery for the final evacuation of all Biafra indegines from the North to their new country and for the safe relocation of all northerners from the South East.
CONCLUSION
Finally Sir, we submit that the level of anger elicited by the activities of the IPOB and its sponsors at home and in the Diaspora has reached the inevitable point where the Igbo must be separated from us by invoking the relevant statutes on self-determination entrenched in various international conventions and treaties to which Nigeria is a signatory.
And for the avoidance of doubt, the North should no longer be expected to be restrained from paying back any further act of aggressive provocation on northerners living as minorities in any part of southern Nigeria.
No one needs to be reminded that a destabilized Nigeria also comes with negative consequences for peace and security in West Africa sub-region as well as Europe and the US and the rest of the global community.
As such the North shall no longer be disposed to relating as Nigeria with the violent Igbo secessionists nor relate at any diplomatic level with a Biafran nation that may emerge now or in the future.
Thank you.
Signed

Nastura A. Shariff,
Chairman, Board of Trustees,

Na wa o. Wife found and married on the same day. No KFC, no cinema, no phone calls. Nothing. This just reminds me of those phones they sell at one plaza back then called non tested. You'll see a big phone for 3k but it's non tested meaning when you take it home, whatever you see in the phone you take it like that. Pls note that by non tested I mean marrying someone you know nothing about, not marrying someone you've not had sex with

Sex before marriage is fornication - just in case you are a Christian.

The wise fox enjoying their money....

An armed forces set to annihilate civilian populations in many parts of the country in order to perpetuate Fulani hegemony over Nigeria.
No armed forces in the world boasts of killing citizens of its country, except Nigeria’s armed forces.

And no citizens in the world boast of killing its policemen and soldiers and destroying police stations and security units.

Or destroying villages and killing citizens and raping women or kidnapping fellow citizens for huge ransoms.

Meanwhile the IPOB Supreme Commander is living large thousands of miles away, while his misguided brainless foot soldiers are killing presumed enemies including their own brothers and themselves in S/Eastern Nigeria.

What’s the problem here? Guys should buy cucumbers for their women if the men’s work requires going off-shore for weeks.
Finding cucumber is a good reassurance, better than finding a guy on top of her.

A retired soldier threatening online to genocide an entire region of the country, a ghost president, a coward, why can't he open the reply section of his twitter account when be make that threats?
Useless. Powerless. Shameless.

Very Good, Mr. President has said it all , although a little late. When they deal with these terrorists aka UGM let them not shoot the faces so that we can identify them before the go into mass graves. Not genocide at all, just bringing justice to the murderer criminals.

The lift may work for upto six months.

oyokometer:
DO WE NEED REFERENDUM OR ELECTION COME 2023.?

Can the northern region accept restructuring which allows a level playing ground and enables those that produce higher to get higher?

Check the below and see if restructuring will ever be accepted by the northern region.

We the people must act now!
Some will brand this write up “evil and a lie”, but facts and numbers don’t lie. Mathematics they say is a universal language anyone can see with his eye.

LET'S SET RECORDS STRAIGHT

Out of the total of 360 House of Reps members, the entire South has 169, while the North has 191.
Here is the breakdown:

South East
Imo 10 Reps
Abia 8 Reps
Ebonyi 6 Reps
Anambra 11 Reps
Enugu 8 Reps Total= 43.

South South
Akwa Ibom 10 Reps
Bayelsa 5 Reps
Cross River 8 Reps
Delta 10 Reps
Edo 9 Reps
Rivers 13 Reps Total= 55 Reps.

SOUTHEAST & SOUTHSOUTH GRAND TOTAL =98 only.

South West
Ekiti 6 Reps
Lagos 24 Reps
Ogun 9 Reps
Ondo 9 Reps
Oyo 14 Reps
Osun 9 Reps Total = 71 Reps.

North West
Kano 24 Reps
Kaduna 16 Reps

Zamfara 7 Reps Total = 92 Reps.

North East
Adamawa 8 Reps
Bauchi 12 Reps

Gombe 6 Reps
Taraba 6 Reps
Yobe 6 Reps Total = 48 Reps.

North Central
Benue 11 Reps
Kogi 9 Reps
Kwara 6 Reps
Nassarawa 5 Reps
Plateau 8 Reps
Niger 10 Reps Total = 49 Reps.

FCT 2 Reps.

GRAND TOTAL OF THE NORTH =191
The question is, how dare you upstage this people in a vote?
Even if Southeast, South-south and Southwest joined together cannot upstage the North.

More facts coming...

INJUSTICE OF OIL ALLOCATION IN NIGERIA (1)

North Central receives 20%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North East receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North West receives 21%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
Every month, the 19 Northern states receive a minimum of 57% of 100% of oil revenue to which they CONTRIBUTE 0.00%.

South West receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 3.97%.

South East receives 11.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 25.07%.

South South receives 15.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 70.64%.

More facts...
LGAs in NIGERIA:
Nigeria has 774 LGAs.
The North has 19 states, and the 19 states have 419 LGAs.

The South has 17 states, and the 17 states have 357 LGAs.

Working with the data from the office of the Accountant General as published by the Ministry of Finance (2013 April), the 357 LGAs of the 17 southern states receive 45.1% of what they contribute is 100%.

The 419 LGAs of the 19 Northern states receive 54.9% of what they contribute is 0.00%.
So those hoping for a hopeless hope for restructuring should wake up. The north will Never allow restructuring because they know that they can't survive in a level playing ground.
Let me stop here for now .....alot on my mind.

Now you see that the north is seriously draining and stifling the development of the south?

One Nigeria is the biggest fraud ever and MUST end.

What the people of Nigeria need is a referendum to end this evil contraption called Nigeria and an emergence of the stifled nations within.

We CAN NOT be silent about it. He that is silent in the days of the adversity of the oppressed, is more guilty and has taken the side of the oppressor.

Let’s keep sharing it to create more awareness. Please share.

You forgot to tell us that each of the 5 states in the SE is the size of many of the LGAs in the North and the whole of the 5 states of the East put together are less than half of the size of a number of states in the North. It is not language that constitutes equity. The criteria for equity are well known and population and size are just two of them.
To mention East, West , and North is misleading, if you don’t give the details as per population and per sq km.
The East is an important minority but it is getting more than it deserves in the country’s share of resources.

FreeIgbos:
These are some of our best brains being murdered by those that should protect them. How can one accept a country like Nigeria? How please?

And you are blindly following the commands of the terrorist cretin Nnamdi Kanu. You have no brains at all.

bhella10:
What do these people think they to be issuing threats? Fulani Heardsmen have murdered innocents they murdered a whole king in Ondo heaven didn't fall no threats was issued, let them do their worse. Idiats!

Little mind

afonha:
When you started writing i almost thought you are reasonable, but you went off target by spilling trash about a people known for progress. You said they should call back their professionals and the likes, have asked yourself that after this who peopy are removed from the process called Nigeria what will be your date. You are still very young, that is why you talk like this. Have you ever asked yourself why your so called elders and governors jitter when the exit of the ibos are mentioned? My brother you don't want to know. So please instead you to start making useless talk about the ibos, let's spend time praying for the peace of Nigeria, like somebody rightly puts it that 1966 is different from 2021. When you see a child dancing in on a pathway, there is someone beaten a drum for same. Open your eyes ibos are not your enemies, you know your enemies but you just chose to hate. #pray for peace in naija.

It scares you stiff to know that Igbos will not be welcome in any part of Nigeria after separation. They can only come on strict visa and and heavy taxation and cannot own land, They can only rent. You can’t eat your cake and have it.

Igbos don’t see anything wrong with stealing

helinues:
First flyover in 21st century while Atiku was VO for good 8 years.

Shameful

You mean bad 8 years?

Veqtor:
Not surprised at all... it's typical of northerners to have low thinking faculty. What is ipob's business with Gulak?
The thing is, there's nothing anyone can say to convince them otherwise, especially after der elites nd clerics have told them what they need to believe.
We want d separation more... that's d reason for all dese problems in d first place.

I also want you Igbos to have your own country. I hope you are truly interested separating from Nigeria.
But Criminal activities led by the cretin Kanu is not the way to demonstrate determination to separate. Killing Gulak or any northern politician is not the way. Neither is killing the northern traders and northern menial workers in East which you are doing.
The way to demonstrate your seriousness is to call back all your legislators, call back your military officers, call back your police, call back you university students and academics from all institutions in other parts of Nigeria. Call back the spare parts and building materials dealers back to the east and send all non Easterners back to their home states in other parts of Nigeria.

Without a fight or rancour , then we will happily sit and discuss true separation. The rest of the world will understand and help us to ensure justice and peace.

But you are just bluffing. You know that you cannot survive among your wicked selves in the East.

The other alternative is of course for Buhari to use the rest of his time as president in conducting a referendum witnessed by international community. The fact is that the test of Nigeria is tired of the Igbo for many reasons.

You can’t send a snake after another person, snakes do not listen to humans. The nearest and easiest is to send a dog after an intruder and a trained rotveiler can produce similar fatal results.

Conner44:
gaboon viper

there is a saying in my place, if while you work on the farm and this snake bites you and you are able to resist the urge to kill it and immediately run across to another plot of land you will survive.

Yet another superstition. Africans should dedicate themselves to research and finding effective, available and affordable antidotes for snake bite.

eloquently:
Nnamdi Kanu should allow peace to reign, while upholding the need for security.. The situation on ground needs re-strategy for peace.... If everything is done in anger, it could lead to certain mistakes that are acute.

The igbos are aggrieved, and the insensitivity or low response to certain issues by the government in the past has led to this situation. The government should call for peace and negotiation now.

You cannot bring the igbos down. If you try to do that, they will ressurect again and overtake you in progress..... The igbos were almost brought down to nothing after the civil war, today they are solid.

You that enjoys seeing evil in igbo land, if your tribe own had used the opportunity they had after the civil war, they would have gone far by now without even looking at the igbos. But because they wasted opportunities, they are busy looking for the down fall of igbos.

Let’s see....

Both Shekau and Kanu are Terrorists. The only difference is that Shekau was leading from the front in Sambisa, while Kanu is a virtual leader, issuing suicidal commands from the safety and comfort of being protected by the British police.

El-Rufa’i, the kind of No nonsense President Nigeria urgently needs at this time.
To start with, he should be the VP to Prof. Osibanjo from 2023.

SimplyFacts:
The sleep paralysis I had few days ago was scary. I could feel/see something playing with my manhood, as if she (couldn't be sure of gender) wanted to use her mouth on me. With so much anger, I wanted to rebuke it but I was so powerless - couldn't talk or raise hands. I later woke up with fast heartbeats & said some prayers. It was in the daytime.

Could that be a spirit wife? I think I need to go for deliverance.

Awkward things happen in sleep paralysis. It can be very scary.
I sympathize with you.
Brief physical activity to raise your heart rate and even to sweat a little will always prevent the attack if you were expecting it.

Not wise at all

Kings999:
GOD BLESS ALL THE IGBOS AROUND THE WORLD
it is better you are caught in drug dealing and fraud in another man country than being in Nigeria and be killed by the Fulanis terrorist who are from Niger Republic but choose to waste innocent blood...

The Igbo man was arrested by fraud in Thailand, the people in Thailand are still richer than most people in Nigeria, what about the buhari son in-law who was declared wanted, most of you commenting on this couldn't comment when Buhari son in-law was declared wanted by fraud of $64m, that money can serve the whole Nigerians.. now make I ask you is Thailand your country, abeg make una keep quiet and face the problem in your country, whatever they wants to do to the igbo man let them do, it's no body business...

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO IN THIS LIFE, DON'T WASTE AN INNOCENT BLOOD..

As long as Nigeria is concern no one is a criminal, Buhari is a terrorist, a killer, a scarmmer, a fraudster, a theif, a liar, and and a deciever but the muslims and the Notherners still support him, who are my not to defend my Igbo man.. thunder fiiiiirrrrreeee all of you...

The major problem is that our Easterner brothers do not see anything wrong with crime. Morality means nothing to them. Although the vast majority of them claim to be Christians, they don’t understand the true meaning of Christianity and they don’t care. Give them their Biafra whether they like it or not. We can no longer continue to suffer international shame and harassment because of these primitive selfish and lawless tribe.
