[/b] At the bolded, why is this only peculiar to South-East? Soldiers never kill civilians and burn their houses to avenge or protest the killings of their colleagues in the north. What is the difference?

Who else goes around the Southeast randomly killing people and burning INEC offices, Police stations, the Local Govt office and houses of perceived "Sabos"??......... We all know it's the Igbo unknown gunmen's modus operandi but their media arm come online to tag the Nigerian army to the crime.

They're online media arm are present on Nairaland here.

How frustrating this must be.

EYESofHORUS:
Thanks for this submission. I was shock when i saw people saying the buildings were old. Well i belive it is lack of information hence i had to write my little piece about it.

You're welcome. I witnessed this as a kid. My family house wasn't spared too. It was the rave of the moment and landlords were excited about this developments.

One moment, peaceful environment with Brazilian bungalows where families come out to receive the cool breeze and watch kids play in the evening.............. Next moment, crowd influx from everywhere shops and crowded markets choking out the initial residents.

Most of the crowd, market women, thugs and traders you see there aren't indigenes, they migrated there.

kettykings:
Must they be killed, common sense tells me they can be punished by burning their clothes or property as a deterrent, who ever did this is just a devil , no same Biafran would be this useless and daft

Even your common sense doesn't make sense.

Why punish someone for exercising his rights to free movement??

Why even think of burning their clothes or property?? Your kind are savages.

foryourminding:
This is clear as day that Nigerian "security" agents are killing Igbos in Igboland while disguising as "unknown gunmen".

There are plans to start picking people like you up from social media.

You'll explain whatever you know or your involvement soon.

Reference:
Not entirely true.
That area is old land and most of those buildings existed precolonial time.
What often happens is that they have been 'renovated' time and again over the years without due consideration to what happens beneath the surface of the ground. Close to the lagoon and with high water table foundation failures are bound when salt dances with concrete over a long period of time.

In the coming years more buildings are likely to come down all over Lagos Island and its shorelines as the 'sell by date' of their foundations arrive no matter what cosmetics are done to their facades.

What government should do should is to float a PPP Engineering outfit that specializes in foundation works and can offer shoring, underpinning and short piling services at a discount to landlords in these foreshore areas particularly for older buildings some of which have significant historical or archaeological value.

Wrong. This isn't the reason for the rampant collapse of buildings in Lagos.

In the late 1980s and early 90s ( Babangida's regime), some illiterate Yoruba developers swooped on various locations in Lagos eg Yaba, Lagos Island and convinced the landlords to allow them demolish their Brazilian styled Bungalows and build multi-storey apartment buildings with shops on the ground floor in exchange for agreed number of years rent to recoup invested funds while the land owners retain an apartment.

These developers built these shoddy buildings all around the state and got away with it due to the administrative rot ushered in by the Babangida administration ( Buhari's administration would never have tolerated this). They made their money back and disappeared, leaving those shoddy buildings all over the place.

Back then as a kid in Lagos Island, I knew those buildings weren't going to last and I'm not surprised they're collapsing every rainy season. They will keep collapsing and taking lives till an administration is bold enough to demolish every single one of them.

A possible solution is the govt arrange the same sort of joint venture with those same families but this time, building well designed apartments that will stand the test of time.

Post the video yoruba man

I'm not here to do your bidding, neither am I here to convince a faceless individual like you.

Sensible people know that IPOB lie a lot.

From "Buhari is dead"............ "Jibrin from Niger has replaced Buhari" ........ "Donald Trump says he will help us get Biafra" ....... "Biafra now has nuclear weapons" ........... "Nnamdi Kanu addressed the UN" ..........."It's Fulani herdsmen and DSS that are unknown gunmen"...... these guys are lies in human form.

Malory:
Absolute balderdash

Your mumu is on full display, you dey speak big English.

Malory:
At the end you said nothing

No be by all this one wey you dey yarn.

The stupidity of people like you resulted in the killings in Southeast.

Deal with it and go ask God for forgiveness.

Rugaria:
The government is totally aware of these killings in the East...
I mentioned how someone from Orlu confidently told me this week that most of the soldiers and Ebubeagu miscreants involved in these shootouts are not from Igboland and a re-tarded BMC member started lecturing his chi on why we should not believe everything... They shoot into markets and compounds unprovoked! Infact, the guy said that all markets in the Orlu area close whenever there is a report of these "security forces" around... People run from the military not from IPOB..

Dey whine yourself.

All the gunmen that made videos where they were killing innocent victims, police, kidnapped victims, corpses they planned to eat all spoke IGBO with the thickest accent.

Try another lie.

Malory:
The east is under siege by the state actors

Just look at this clown. Endsars protesters broke criminals out of jail, your kind cheered since it was "hurting" the govt

Unknown gunmen continued from there by killing Soldiers and Policemen, your kind cheered again.

The intelligent peeps here warned of these chain of actions but your kind called them "Unity beggers" accused them of showing fake love and to mind their business.

Now armed killings are occurring and you now turn around and claim it's "State actors".... another name for Fulani herdsmen and DSS.

Honestly, these guys think in an off-key way. No logic, no rational thinking.

famouscargo4u:
The only thing thing Aba had more than Ibadan is modern houses. Aside that, Ibadan beats Aba on other indices- road network, companies, landmass, GDP, security etc

Aba doesn't have more modern houses than Ibadan.

Heck, Aba doesn't even have a Central business district, just a Central Market district.

The informal sector dominates the economy of Aba, hence the large dirty markets.

The developed parts of Ibadan is multiple times bigger than the whole Aba. The old parts of Ibadan is also multiple times bigger than Aba.

Ibadan is far bigger and better than anything Aba has to offer.

This is coming from someone that has visited both.

Good.

Luring the perpetrators of the crime against the girls will be too easy.

Simply use another underaged profile on Facebook as bait and they'll happily bite it.

See American car prices from the 70s below.

gidgiddy:
And the Police Id cards?

They took them from policemen they killed.

If they can take guns and uniforms from policemen they killed, taking their I.D cards is no big deal.

See the phones that they use to log onto Nairaland to talk trash.

It takes an Igboman to open a thread to try and denigrate Nigeria in favour of others that don't give a toss about them.

These guys are mainly criminals hiding under importer/exporter.

These IPOBs aren't industrious, they're largely criminals.

Uknown gunmen dey use dem do target practice, dem no fit open dem mouth talk but dem dey call Yorubas cowards.

Even the Fulani herdsmen threat looks like a fake threat planned by IPOB to deceive their foolish followers and launder their image.

I experienced the same issue after linking my NIN to my Sim.

I solved it by having my Sim re-registered.

The Abuja light rail is done, dusted and moving people, in addition to the Abuja-Kaduna railways.
What else do ThiefNuibu's followers have to say, almost 10 years later exxcept to do another round of propaganda over Sanwo-Olu's inspection pictures?

You're just one ignorant, local man trying to rub shoulders with faceless people far above your level but you simply sound daft.

anonimi:
Are you campaigning for ThiefNuibu because of the N20k you collected? Or what is the analogy about

20k?? Even my workers don't earn that low.

You must think everyone here is on your 20k level.

caracas:
Oga Sharap,the development of lagos statistically is very slow, if lagos had continued with the pace that the federal government n military regime left it, it would have become something else, but your useless thief, Tinubu came n enthroned a thieving mechanism that completely slowed the pace of growth in lagos…..
I don’t know why you afonjas keep deceiving yourselves with lagos as if the rest of the country does not know the history of lagos n what or who is responsible for its enviable position amongst other states…..

If the development of Lagos is slow, the development of your region must be in reverse then.

anonimi:
If Lagosians are smart as they claim to be, should they not have been riding the light rail since June 2013 as promised by Fashola in January 2013? Are Lagosians really smart, or they are just as dumb as the 200 million Nigerians who enjoy suffering and smiling simultaneously?

You that's "smart", if they ask you what your preferred politician is now, you'll start mentioning Awolowo, Jakande and that weird, unknown politician you tried to campaign for (Probably after collecting N 20k).

You liver even fail you lass lass.

SlyDev:
Ipob terrorists are very foolish, hunger don dey wire them. You want to trick hausa to come and die to your illiterate terrorists

Elections are near and they now need Northern votes.

mrvitalis:
This is Igbo land when you impose a leader the land never rest

True, once you impose a leader, the people start acting real stupid, endangering their lives by engaging in the economic sabotage act of dangerous bunkering activities, fueled by greed.
