Matters arising

SouthSouth1914:
Since you mentioned objectivity, let’s start on that front! The questions we are suppose to be asking is what were the policemen doing there st that point in time? Are we going to continue with these vindictive tendencies of the Nigeria government led by buhari? Are there not court orders regarding these issues that have to be obeyed?

IPOB like every other ethnic group have the right to protest whenever they feel marginalized by the present government! The issues that have led to these protests have not be addressed in any way, rather it has been worsened by the despicable acts of violence and inhuman treatment of these protesters by the police! Killing innocent protesters at will. Have you lost someone to the cold hands of death before?

Go back to the 1st page of this thread and read the reason why the police had to come, paying particular attention to points 1 and 2.

BaaleOko:
Why are you trying so hard to paint the Nigerian police in a good light and minimize the facts about their proclivity to crudeness and barbarity? Have you ever been these solicitive when they kill unarmed civilians without the slightest provocation in many instances? man your grandstanding is a double edged sword, just look at how you have passed judgements even before confirming the authenticity of the report, or hearing the other side of the story at the very least.

I guess you have comprehension problem, go through my post again, I was only trying to exonerate IPOB members who may not have been involved as alleged and you're saying trash

gidgiddy:
Dont you find this story strange? The Police go to arrest Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer and IPOB who have never been armed and have never killed anybody attack and kill armed police?

There are questions to be asked.

Why is it that Police say they went to Kanu's Lawyers house but the pictures we see of the burnt patrol car was in the middle of a major road? Does Kanu's Lawyer live on the road?

Also, why were the police men burnt in the back of the patrol car?

There are too many holes in this story, I will wait to hear Kanu's Lawyers version

Keep quiet please, you were one of those that were praising IPOB yesterday for attacking and killing the policemen when we were correcting you that it may not be IPOB members that were involved as alleged. The patrol van on the road means nothing, what if his house is just some meters from that spot and seeing that the road to his house cannot be accessed decided to park there and go on foot to his house?
Use your brain next time

ornicus:
Could be hate speech. Get a picture of police who died in an accident ,tag it murder by ipob, sit back and watch the sparks fly.

and that would be ironic - but this is exactly what hate speech is about. this is what was happening in mynmar

it will be good if the originator of this video can be tracked down

What is even crazier is the fact that our iPob keyboard soldiers are cheering an act that may not even have been carried out by them, when they know what will come next. hard reprisals.

This is the funniest part of it all, IPOB may not have been involved but see them gloating everywhere, if the police decides to descend on their members who know nothing about this, what would they say since they had implicated their members? I thought what they should be asking is that the police should prove that the dastardly act was committed by IPOB members.

BaaleOko:
STFU with the noise, the era of police brutality and unbridled acts of thuggery against unarmed civilians has been an act of brigandage gone too far, it was just a question of time before it had to be checked, if you act mad on my turf, best believe I'll respond with equal and more savage madness... Because you have a gun and wear a uniform doesn't make you exempt from the madness when jungle finally matures.

Let me ask you, what really happened that finally led to this and tell us everything from the beginning to the end.

CoolAmbience:
University of Transportation, which groundbreaking was just done is now more important than the Maritime University already completed and in use in the South south; 2nd Niger Bridge that is steadily progressing; Itakpe-Warri Rail project which was redesigned to connect the Onitsha Main Market from Agbor running through the 2nd Niger Bridge; the Akanu Ibiam International Airport that is currently being expanded and upgraded; the completed Ikot Ekpene-Alaoji-Ugwuaji Switching Station and Transmission Line; the Lagos-Ibadan Rail project that is almost completed; the Zik Mausoleum project that was completed in 2018 having being initially awarded in 1996; the N500 million pension paid to retired, war affected (ex-biafra) police personnel granted presidential pardon since year 2000.....


Before you go ahead with talking more nonsense, I am a son of the soil, a bonafide, well-informed Anambra man. So, don't play your next ethnic card...'cos it is as good as failed.

I hate to do this but I have to. Isn't it rather shameful that we ask quite so much from Buhari the things we ought to have gotten from PDP or are we saying that there was nothing we gained from supporting PDP for 16 years because we seem to be lacking everything, actually. No, no, no, no....don't tell me we just did 'follow follow' with PDP for 16 years with nothing to show for it? Please, don't.

That isn't how politics is played bro. Don't tell me that our claim of being the elite and sophisticated ethnic group in Nigeria is a scam....you mean say even 'gwari' (no offence intended) better pass us?

You want to say you aren't aware that there is a Federal University in Otueke or that Buhari completed the multi billion naira Central Ogbia Regional Water Project within 2 years in office, which former president Jonathan couldn't complete in about 4 years?

What destruction and death are they sending to us? Isn't it a shame that a market like Ochanja doesn't have a fire service attached to it, despite goods and trading worth billions transacted weekly? What has been done since the unfortunate fire incident? Do we now have fire services in all the large markets in the SE? Who is responsible for putting these fire services in place in the SE? Is it the Yoruba or Fulani man?

Bro, let's stop this reckless irresponsibility... It won't do us any good. Every time, 'Hausa and Yoruba hate us', do we like ourselves and how much? Can you freely eat and drink in your village when you visit? Try it this Christmas and let's see....or have our villages being taken over by people from Daura who want to poison and kill us all?

Bro, whenever there seems to be a problem.... start your check from 'within'.

You nailed it perfectly, some kids are so programmed to believing that the world hates Igbos

Omoodua007:
Unverified list
Most industrialized states are
Lagos
Ogun
Rivers
Oyo
Ondo
Edo
Delta
Anambra

Just Lagos, Rivers and maybe Ogun would be before Anambra.
Ogun got into the chat because of the spillage from overcrowded Lagos

Wiseandtrue:
You will never hear such comment during the Islamic festive season, it's only towards December 25th, you will start hearing reckless talks about scarcity

God knows I love everyone irrespective of where you are from

But in this 21st century, with all the increment, why should we be talking about fuel scarcity when many countries we compare ourselves with have moved further

January period is another story of untold hardship why can't this government make a Policy that would put smiles on people's faces for once

When was the last time you heard about scarcity around the yuletide and January?

rexwalters:
Two faces of Ipob, useless masquerades.

Let's wait for more clarification, at least you were not there where it happened

Fianze93:
Check Blaze 91.5 Fm Oraifite Facebook page.
They have updates of the situation... Although they are just about 85percent truthful about the issue.

They have the root cause of the issue too. And as an ezigbo nwafọ Oraifite Anaedo, I can tell you this stuff happened.

IPOB and MNK are just being economical with the truth.

I read on their page that it's a fracas between two masquerade groups who wanted leadership,

Fianze93:
Very sure.

As I'm talking to you now.

Soldiers are on retaliatory attack... All shops in the area of the attack has been demolished. Nkwo to Nkwo Road blocked... Even as they have set Barr. Ejiofor's House set ablaze.

Reporting from Oraifite

Damn!!
This isn't funny at all

FuckDaMods:
Yorubas are in jittery mode already.. Face your business, the policemen deserves it.

Yorubas were not mentioned but you have brought up the usual ethnic nonsense you're used to

Fianze93:
No IPOB member was comfirmed dead.

The only comfirmed casualties are the two burnt officers.

They were killed in the Ibolo axis of Nkwo to Nkwo Road, Oraifite, after a failed attempt to arrest some IPOB members who were in Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor's country home(Urudunu, Ifite Oraifite)... As they were driving to (probably) Oraififite Area Command Headquarters, in Isingwu Oraifite, in a bid to escape the imminent danger, the IPOB boys caught them. Some of the officers successfully escaped. Unfortunately, two were caught.

The IPOB saying their members were killed should show evidence.

I saw the scene, and only the Officers were there... Ablaze.

Are you sure of this?

The fact is that nothing proves it was orchestrated by members of IPOB, nothing even proves that they are policemen, let's all be calm till we get the full gist.
The OP gave us two narratives of what may had happened and so not sure for now.

gidgiddy:
For a long time, they have been shooting and killing unarmed IPOB members. I knew a day would come when the youths would say enough is enough

You'd sit in the comfort of your room and won't go and fight with them

We shouldn't forget some of our open markets, during the day when the sellers know that buyers would look out very well to know how fresh the fish, meat they buy but in the evenings and night, they bring out left overs of days ago that may have start to rot and sell because buyers may not have the time to check properly and it's dark too.
Some Nigerians can be greedy.

Kapeter:
Useless ignoramus Nigerians that will blame FG for everything while they leave their SG to embezzle their future.

School feeding is handed to states. FG doesn't see to it, they provide the allocations to it while the states oversee it. Find out whichever state is that (if the thing is even real/true self) and go criticise the state governor insead.

Moronic people

Thanks for that because I was about coming in on that video, the FG provides the funding and the state is supposed to do the rest by coordinating, yet it is the FG that must be blamed. Why didn't the woman shouting in the video tell us the name of the school and the state so that Nigerians can take it up, how do we know if she wasn't the one that paid the other woman to buy bread and cut?
Her video is of no help so she should sthu.

mrvitalis:
Lol what has it done for them ? Are they better than the south east ? Are they more educated ?


What's your business what we do ...u are supposed to be happy we are to be slaves

I'm happy for you or was there anywhere I said otherwise?

mrvitalis:
What's the difference between what u did in 2015 n 2019 n what we are about to do in 2023 ?

While they are planning to be the masters in 2023, you are planning to become the latest slaves.
The north, SS and SW had all had their taste of president and VP since 1999, you who haven't gotten anything is not even campaigning for an Igbo, it is a northerner, slaves.

LabDNA:
Evasiveness when cornered with no where to run.

If you have nothing to add to the thread, please leave, topic said OUK and Igbos and how the Yorubas came in is what I don't understand.
Don't derail, open another thread about the Yorubas

mrvitalis:
U mean u have been slaves to north since 2015 ?

You called others slaves to the north and they're trying to "liberate" themselves unlike you you rushing to be slaves, you can't stand on your own, it's either attaching to the SS or north and good enough they know your intents

LabDNA:
You said 'Ibos hate themselves and don't vote for themselves', I simply wanted to know why yoruba also hate their own candidates too.

Topic is about Orji Uzor Kalu and Igbos, were the Yorubas mentioned or is OUK a Yoruba man now?

LabDNA:
Gani fawehimi, Dele momodu, Oluremi Sonaiya, Sowore, Fela durotoye were all yorubas whom yorubas betrayed and refused to vote at the polls at different times. Rather they opted to vote Ribadu, Atiku and Buhari as AC, ACN, and APC candidates respectively.

Stick to topic please or you open another thread for that

mrvitalis:
Play your politics let's play our politics ...there are Igbo's APC we would use them to make sure Yoruba's never get the ticket

Shabi u called it politics of interest allow us play our card na

I dey hold you, same politics you played in 2015 and 2019 and wishing to play in 2023, nobody send una. Give your 5% to the north and continue being slaves to them

mrvitalis:
Lol trying to make it Igbo affair ...so Igbo's now control yorubas ...why didn't u Vite north then

To show u how selfless Igbo's are we sacrificed our turn for the benefit of Nigeria ....yes we did n yet not respected

After buhari done borrow 40 trillion u want an Igbo man to suffer ...we are not going and neither would Yoruba's

All I know is that take your 5% to the north and stop begging APC for a slot in their party.
Igbos are selfless indeed, you fight for others to be uplifted but you are down below and retrogressing.
You vote others because you know they are better than you not because you are selfless

mrvitalis:
The whole south rejected it , Yoruba's inclusive

We are not apologetic about it ......south saw a way to end Fulani domination ...but 2015 south west brought them back to power

2023 Igbo's too are giving them the power back

Lies, Igbos did reject the gentleman agreement in the PDP before other Southerners came in, Igbos were reminded that the SE was to produce the president in 2015 but they refused, even if the SS and SW didn't care, why couldn't the SE wait for just 4 years?

Your last line, you want the north to get the presidency in 2023, let me see you lamenting again that APC and PDP won't give the Igbos the presidency slot. 5%ters.

mrvitalis:
We respected zoning ...we respected the agreement we had ...

If we voted our self Una for still say we only vote ourselves

Why didn't Yoruba's vote the many Yoruba candidate in 2011 , 2015 and 2019 ? Why

Why did Ohaneze, Peter Obi and other Igbo politicians reject the zoning arrangement in 2011? Zoning is dead, fight for yourself

gidgiddy:
It's better to be a good trader and have money in your pocket to take of your self than to play the useless politics of Nigeria where a few greedy politicians only take care of themselves

Good and rightly said so stop contributing into discussions about Nigerian politics, face that spare part business

Edygrin:
Well since this is coming from an Igbo man there's nothing I can say. They're truely their own worst enemy..

If an Igbo man is given 1 billion, he will invest 500 million in Lagos, build or buy a house of 100 million in same Lagos or Abuja. The remaining 400 million he lavishes in clubs in Lagos and goes on holiday to America or Malay then build a Flat in the East for his parents and maybe siblings then come online to fight for biafra.

And they keep wondering why nobody is taking them serious. This is Orji Uzor Kalu an Igbo man who himself is qualified to run for the president but here he's busy licking the ass of Tinubu

Orji Uzor Kalu is qualified but would the Igbos vote for him, have the Igbos ever voted an Igbo for president since 1999?

wizzyrich:
The amount of stones I've eaten because of Nigerian rice this week alone, only God can save my teeth and tommy.

Na so, those of us that had been eating local rice even before the border closure, all our teeth had fallen off.
I would've believed you if you said you were served a plate of stones and some grains of rice sprinkled on it

Cherez:
Like I keep saying, Nigeria is hell on earth because of citizens.
You watched this election and claim election was won?
You should be transfixed at what happened in Kogi.
Though I want Dino out but that election is sth to be ashamed of and I bet you Kogites haven't received their salary upon the released bailout.

There has been a rerun in the affected areas so what do you want Nigerians to do again, ask for another?
