Religion / Re: Imam Suleiman Njoku & His Reverend Sister, Celebrate Christmas Together by AsiwajuNdigbo: 7:55am On Dec 26, 2020 |
LegendHero: Naptu come and see what you caused. I asked why you didnt put yoruba instead of Igbo for this showcase. My question is almost 48hrs old and you still have not answered. If you had not focused on Igbo somebody like this ewedu guzzler that do boyboy for Tinubu would lack the effrontery and the audacity to make such insulting statement. Ive been watching some people in this nairaland, people like legendhero that hate Igbo for no reason. Because of his slave worship of tinubu who is morbidly anti Igbo, this legendcoward will say anything spiteful and disgusting just to harass Ndigbo. Mr naptu, so tell me, upon the fact that every yoruba family have muslim/christian make up, who in your opinion ought to be poster child for Imam/Deacon sibling pair, shouldnt such model come out of yoruba? eehn? Do you know how many yoruba pastors there are in nigeria? Over 50 prominent ones, not to mention the counterfeit ones. Are you aware each of these 50 yoruba pastors also have yoruba sibling who are muslims, and can be paired to form your thread? Infact, dont you know pastor bakare has a muslim sister? Dont you know bishop oyedepo has a muslim sister? Infact pastor osinbanjo, the vp of nigeria has a muslim sibling in their family. Are you trying to ridicule Ndigbo with this Imam Njoku story? Na by force say we must accept islam? Legendcoward do not reply me o. Im waiting only for reply from mr naptu on this post. |

Too late. US Congress has opened hearing. They are looking into acts of genocide. This is no time to plead with nigerians at all. We pleaded with Buhari many years he told people to go solve their dispute and live peacefully with fulani killers. US is looking at acts of genocide and also acts of massacre of Lekki protesters.

gidgiddy: I cannot fathom a division between my own brothers. But we need to tell each other truth. Infact many people here will tell you I advocate a Igbo brotherhood anyday. If I see people open too much thread that are stats focused i ask them to include all our states instead of singling them out. People have been crying to Igbos in diaspora, come home vome home vome home and invest, bring your capital to East. How? Business need security. Now we have volunteers and a leader trying to establish security and people are scattering the efforts. What kind of stepidity is this? Go and check people criminalizing Kanu and Ipob and see where majority are from. Its Anambra. This is not about division but I want to shame the people to stop this backstabbing and allow us to develop our own homeland. Look, how long shall we blame yoruba and hausa for holding us down. Lets rise together instead of jealousy. Im pleading with Anambra people to support this goal of putting security on ground. Time waits for no one. Our region need growth. Guys are ready to bring capital and investment, we ready to vacate other paople land and storm East. Help us guys. Campaign fervently for security in East. I dont hate but i love my brothers, sometime you have to shame and humiliate people to open their awareness to what id wrong. 1 Like |

After thorough observation and investigation looking into the reasons many people are opposed to ESN, we were able to narrow down the opposition and its epicenter. Anambra people are the ones leading and bank rolling this antagonism to ESN. They are determined to overlook the many benefits and values inherent in the formation and operation of the newly created security corps. Many leaders around the world agree on the need for community policing and at different scale befitting the need and in slresponse as a countermeasure to the level of imminent or perceived threat. As such, these world leaders agree unanimously on the concept of ESN as a local protective shield. Let me add that shortly after its creation there was a chorus of acknowledgement and kudos to the show of gallantry and organization in the ESN structure. The world is joyous and happy with us. From what we learnt, the video of ESN on drill grounds in uniform and color guards has made its way to the security briefing in Oval office. This is very very significant and raises the trust and credibility of Eastern Security Network in the eye of the world. We thus ask, are there any counter voice to what the world has accepted as a good policy? In fact, we found plenty opposition here at home. Yes, right in East. The people that ought to jubilate and lay wrappers on ground ffor Eastern Guards to march on as they enter town in triumphant glory, they are bitter and sour. They fail to see what the rest of the world see, they fail to focus where it is appropriate, on security, safety. Instead they are attaching ESN unecessarily to IPOB, to Kanu. They are turning their back on security and safety and embracing jealousy to attack one man and his organization. ESN is not ipob. We shall call them EASTERN GUARDS. They are drawn from all over East and its a volunteer group. The call went out and people joined voluntarily. They are patriots. Who are the dissenters opposed to these patriots? Anambra people form the arrowhead of the opposition. They are flooding internet and flying banners and bankrolling people from other states to reject Nnamdi Kanu and reject ESN. God will not give them victory. We shall not rest to advocate for and support Eastern Guards. We love them, they are brave men and women and very patriotic. May God bless East May our fallen heroes not be in vain Biafra shall rise again Big love to Eastern Guards Jealous and haters can quench. 3 Likes |
Politics / Nigeria Loosing Control Of NW Region (arewa) by AsiwajuNdigbo: 1:41pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
This month, BBC’s Hausa language service, which covers northern Nigeria, reported a remarkable story of 12 Nigerian police officers being kidnapped along the Katsina-Zamfara expressway in the country’s northwest region. It was the latest in a growing list of attacks and kidnappings in Nigeria’s northwest that have often been underreported in Nigeria’s national media and almost hardly ever covered by international media. For the past decade and more, Nigeria has been battling the deadly Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram in an insurgency that has cost up to 30,000 lives and displaced 2.3 million people in and around the northeast region of the country. The group, which has carried out attacks in the country’s capital Abuja as well as in neighboring countries Chad, Cameroon, and Niger, remains very active in the northeast even after splintering into the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and the Jamaa’atul Ahlis Sunnah (JAS), with both carrying out attacks on civilians, aid workers, and the military. However, for the past five years, the northwestern part of Nigeria has also become gradually engulfed by violence, with much less media coverage because these attacks have been carried out by groups that have been described locally as “bandits”. These are not Islamist terrorist groups with international affiliations which would more easily capture the imagination of global media. Bandit is used here as a catch-all term to describe numerous groups that have carried out vicious attacks on local communities, killing scores of people, and have also been kidnapping as many as they can for ransoms. Zamfara, Katsina, and Kaduna states are the epicenters of the growing crisis. The genesis of the lawlessness is not as clear-cut as the Boko Haram insurgency as it is a combination of various factors. The northwest region makes up just over a quarter of Nigeria’s landmass and is composed of seven states, including some of Nigeria’s poorest. Zamfara and Sokoto have high poverty rates like in the northeast. But unlike the northeast, the northwest region is more homogenous in terms of ethnicity and religion: with the exception of the southern part of Kaduna State and parts of Kebbi State, it is mostly peopled by the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups, and mostly Muslim. Most of the actors are Fulani, the ethnic group that spreads across West Africa and is known for being nomadic pastoralists, while the communities being attacked are mostly Hausa farming communities. The current violent dynamic started soon after vigilante groups formed from the Hausa communities for security purposes carried out extrajudicial action against Fulani pastoralists as tensions mounted from increasing competition for land and water resources between the pastoralists and the farmers as the effects of climate change exacerbate. This has all coincided with an increase in cattle rustling in the region by armed gangs, again mostly Fulani, using increasingly sophisticated weapons and staging attacks from nearby forests. It is these gangs that have now been attacking communities and killing indiscriminately in a bid to exact revenge. There is also a nexus between the banditry and illegal gold mining in Zamfara state, with the miners accused of being collaborators but have also fallen victims to the armed gangs. “The population in the state, which is mainly made up of herders and farmers, have been affected heavily as they have been unable to carry out their economic activities,” says Yusuf Anka, a political commentator based in Gusau, Zamfara’s state capital. “There is arbitrary taxation on the communities by the bandits before they can plant and harvest crops. Everyone in Zamfara has suffered a personal loss to this banditry.” Given there is very little or even no state presence in most parts of the northwest region beyond its state capitals and major towns, it has become very easy for non-state actors to run rampant in the deep rural areas. It is made worse by the fact the nearby national border in the region is very porous and for many years has become a conduit for smuggling illicit drugs, weapons, and even humans. Together with a high rate of unemployment and poverty, these factors have served to ignite and sustain the seemingly unending cycle of violence. “It has been terrible in Zandam in the Jibia local government area of Katsina state, where we’ve experienced about five attacks in the last year,” says Gidado Suleiman Farfaru, a local civil society activist in Katsina. “All the resources of the community have been wiped out.” He said three people were killed in these attacks; and another nine people have been reported as kidnapped. An uncertain calm has returned to the farms and surrounding areas after the government sanctioned the deployment of 60 mobile policemen in the village for the last two months, says Farfaru. The BBC story of the police kidnapping highlights the risk for even uniformed security officials. But the disruption is not limited to rural areas anymore as there have been numerous kidnappings on major highways in the region and even attacks in cities: for example, traveling on the 190-kilometer expressway linking Nigeria’s capital Abuja and Kaduna is fraught with risk due to the high rate of attacks on travelers. This has made the train link the safer choice for traveling and even an air shuttle service being mooted. “The deteriorating state of security in the region has also provided opportunities for jihadist groups to take advantage,” says Murtala Abdullahi, a climate, conflict, and security reporter with Humangle News. “There have been reports of the Boko Haram factions trying to extend their reach from the Lake Chad region while groups active in neighboring countries such as Mali, Niger Republic, and Burkina Faso are getting increasingly active close to the region.” The insecurity is also impacting Nigeria’s agricultural production and food security with more farmers abandoning their farms due to fears of being attacked. “The insecurity in the northwest is causing significant problems for farmers. In many areas, they now pay bandits to have access to their farms in order to harvest—with fees often ranging in the hundreds of thousands of naira,” says Ikemesit Effiong, the head of research at SBM Intelligence, a geopolitical consultancy based in Lagos. “Even with this quasi-taxation, security is not always guaranteed.” Effiong is worried about a fast deteriorating situation. “Food insecurity is now a national emergency and the federal and state governments in the northwest need to urgently and closely cooperate to re-establish an adequate security presence in farming areas, so normal activities can resume.” To be clear, in its efforts to restore security to the region, the Nigerian government has launched numerous military operations over the past four years but with an overstretched military that is deployed in multiple concurrent operations across the whole country, the impact of these operations has been very limited. “Military approach is important but it needs to be done in a way that is not excessive and targets only the right persons,” says Abdullahi. “Other approaches need to be utilized as well, addressing surrounding issues such as justice, rural development, and state presence, and improving livelihood.” Other approaches such as a peace deal brokered with the bandits by state governors in the region only held together for a few months before it collapsed, leading to at least one state officially pulling out of the deal. This is likely due to the fragmented nature of the actors in the conflict with so many groups involved such that it is hard to have an agreement binding on all of them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/africa/1935821/nigeria-losing-control-of-northwest-region-to-bandit-herdsmen/amp/

fineboynl: Ol boy, that girl is from a herbalist background. Either the mother or someone on her father side was a herbalist or priest. She is carrying on the legacy. There are dos and donts for herbalists and people in the healing practice. One of their ethos and sacred oaths forbid using their knowledge of herbs, plants and earth, to hurt any life knowlingly. You have a lot to gain if you marry this beautiful girl. What you call dull dark skin is an essence of purity. People with this tone are often disease free. You and your children will have a blessing in her traditional practice. If you love her, and she loves you,I see no reason you cant make her a wife. Be a blessing to each other. 4 Likes 1 Share |
