bk.babe97y:
What was the last book u read? And when?

how does that change the fact that you know nothing about nigeria and its history judging from your analogy and all your post on nairaland. you dont even know who first rebeled against nigerian govt. matching GEJ as Napoleon wetin i no go see for nairaland

cap28:
so,  as i was saying,  timid puppet GEJ is now being compared to one of the world's most brutal mass murderers and dictators - Stalin (napoleon)  -  wonders shall never end!!!!

And Awolowo a rabid tribalist has now been elevated to the status of Karl Marx - a man who beleived in the equality of all men and who championed the cause of an egalitarian society - funny, last time i checked, Awo was responsible for championing the cause of starvation as a legitimate weapon of war against a marginalised people, i reckon Awo had about as much beleif in egalitarianism as Babangida has in sincere leadership, transparency, honesty and justice.

your on point ,but why worry yourself ? let them be abeg . the most ridiculous analogy ever

The reckless use of state funds by Chief Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom to bribe the largely impoverished indigenes of the state turned bloody yesterday as five students died in a fracas that ensued at the bribery fest in public glare at the government house in Uyo.

The students died as they scampered to share the N15 million naira bribe money while several of them sustained serious injuries. The chaos was complicated by the involvement of security agents on duty as they too engaged in the struggle for free cash.

SaharaReporters gathered that the Akwa Ibom state government house has turned into a Mecca of sorts for the over 3,500 support groups engaged in praise singing for Akpabio. these hired crowds throng the seat of power for cash disbursements aimed at buying the gubernatorial election since the governor flagged off his re-election campaign recently.

Akpabio had bussed over 5000 undergraduates of tertiary institutions in the state from University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Asura and Uyo City Polytechnic to create an appearance of popularity and youth support in the April governorship election.

however, the situation got out of hand at Government House when most of the students realized that the coordinators of the bribe reserved N5 million for themselves from the N15 million booty Akpabio had made available to them for the bribe fest.




State government officials mostly from the protocol unit of the Government House and security men on guard duties responsible for coordinating the whole sharing exercise snatched and disappeared with the bribe money during the fracas.

The disappearance of the bribe money sparked off wider protests that saw students barricading the entrance to Government House which later escalated to a riot and confrontation with security operatives who had called for reinforcement after making away with the money.

Reacting to the clash between security men and students over money , Aniekan Umanah, Information Commissioner of Akwa Ibom state on Friday announced that henceforth the venue of such ‘solidarity visits’ shall be shifted to the PDP secretariat located on Ikot Ekpene road in Uyo.

“Henceforth, shows of solidarity and political processions among others are not allowed within and around the Government House premises,” Umanah said in a statement.

The statement urged individuals and interest groups, including student bodies, to direct matters concerning the ongoing campaign to the PDP secretariat and Akpabio’s campaign office.

SaharaReporters had revealed that Akpabiois one of the governors identified as the major financier of the Goodluck Jonathan election campaign according to a letter of appreciation exposed by SaharaReporters recently.

In the early life of his regime, SaharaReporters had exposed Akpabio's penchant for using state funds to give bribes as we provided a trail of his purchase and delivery of a brand new, a Mercedes Benz GL 450 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) to the EFCC chairperson, Mrs. Farida Waziri.

Residents of Omole Estate, Ikeja, have been placed on the alert following reports that a suspected rapist is in their midst. Notices signed by the Chairman of the residents association, Ade Popoola, and posted on every street advise the residents to be at alert as the suspected rapist has successfully gained entry into several houses in the estate.

Mode of operation

The suspected rapist was described to be a stout man, dark in complexion, and with a scar on his face. He was last sighted on December 29, at Debo Aina Street in the estate but escaped after the residents of the house he attempted to break into sighted him and raised alarm. “The information that came to us from the streets and sectors show that there is a short young man with a mark on his head, having a dreadlocks, going around raping ladies and trying to scale the fence into various homes,” said Mr Popoola. “And after performing his evil act, he will jump the fence again and go into another house, and that is why we put up the notices to warn people to secure their doors when they are going to bed such that if it happens that the rapist comes along, they will be well prepared against the one man gang going about in the estate.”

Mum is the word

According to Mr Popoola, though he had gotten reports to confirm it, the victims have refused to speak with the authorities because of the stigma associated with rape. “Well, the people that come to us are family members living in the house,” he said. “The estate is organised in sectors. It is the central chairman that reported to me that they are having such complaints. You know this is Africa where nobody will walk up to you to tell you that they have been raped because there is a sigma. It is not like advanced countries where a lady will say it on TV that ‘my father raped me’.”

Living in fear

A housewife, who did not want to be named, said she was yet to see the suspect, but confirmed that the neighbourhood have been awash with stories about his escapades. “Everybody in my family is at alert and in the highest security conscious mood,” she said. “We do not want to leave anything to chance. We pray that this rapist is arrested soon. I have not seen any rapist, but we have been hearing of his activities. We have taken precaution by putting up more security in our house.”

Police response

According to Mr Popoola, the incident was reported to the police. “We reported the case to police and they said whenever we apprehend the person, we should bring him to the police,” he said. “The police also sent several patrol teams to survey the area. I visited the police station and had discussions with the DPO. We had some assurances that they are on the lookout for the rapist. Also our private security men in the estate are on the lookout for him. The challenge is that he comes in at odd hours and he does not come in through the main gate.”

When contacted, police spokesperson, Samuel Jinadu, said the police are not aware of any rapist at the estate. “We don’t have any report of the suspected rapist, and if there are any, the police will definitely swing into action to arrest him,” he said.

i watched this on tv, the girl is crazy i think she into drugs from the way she was talking , she didnt even feel sorry for what she did, i think she just came back from jand

poverty and fraustration , we r finished in nigeria, we have graduated from robery and kidnapping and rituals to killing of spouse, sibblings and parents. i wonder what lies ahead

Aigbofa:
Actually, I think the hens should be the Niger Deltans, while ibos should be the sheep.

I think BKBabe was unusually nice to ibos by comparing them to the hens. With people like Nzeribe, Andy Uba, Daniel Kalu, Chukwumerije, Aondoakaa and ibo's meager contribution to the national purse, I would definitely compare them with the sheep.

you see why you  are a fool ,considering your people top efcc record why  not make them the sheep and aondoakaa is not igbo u slowpoke

as for the post i didnt bother reading it , i already know nothin good will come out of that scum called bkbastard.

i wonder why such stupid threads make front page ,this bkbastard should be hanged his hatred for igbos can no longer be tolorated every negative thing about igbo people on the internet can be traced to NL

noNonsense:
Ibo naw, na dem do rituals pass

wrong na yorubas do ritual pass

started during the military regime ,most of those guys are still alive and active in our government, infact the same people are still running the affairs of the nation

i thought we are ijaws

for those yorubas threatning violence i hope you also have an escape plan for millions of your people in ph,aba ,onitsha ,enugu, if you dont then just shut up and accept democracy and one nigeria as it is(pratice what you preach and fought for)

Egocent:
There is no need to be tribalistic about this issue, statitics have shown that Ibo men are prone to domestic violence. I am Ibo and do not dispute this fact at all.

One thing we must understand is that living abroad is not easy, especially for the woman, usually, you do not have any help and you have to do everything yourself, and if you work and your spouse is one of those egocentric men who believe, that he should just sit down watching TV while you return from work and serve his dinner and clean up after him then you are in big trouble.

After serving his meal, you do the dishes, bath the kids put them to bed, you are totally exhausted and at night the man wants you to open your legs for him, like he is doing you a favour, You dont want s, e, x, you just want to sleep cos you are tired, when you complain about him helping out in the house, all you hear is ranting about how He married you and payed your bride price and how you are his property.

When your salary comes in, he demands to know what you spend the money on, and if possible dictates what you use it for. after all, you are his wife(slave).

You have your dreams but he will use mind games on you, and make you relinguish your dreams for the sake of the family. It is very pitiful, He  expects you to worship him ,daily bowing your head to the ground to him for saving you from the life of poverty and bringing you abroad but he forgets that he married a white woman to get that paper he    holds on to so dearly, If the white woman laid the same claim on him for abandoning her after getting the papers, would he not be gunned down too?

After succumbing to this abuse for a period, one day, the woman is going to get really tired and would want to walk away cos she is actually getting nothing from the relationship.

We need to stop all this, Traditional Ibo men must step up and realise that marriage does not mean slavery, Times have changed.

what statistics and who perfeormed it cus it will be intresting to know and which which other group did they compare it with ? how come we have soo many igbo female professionals and politicians with their family intact? or did they kill their violent and God husband like your suggestin beofre they got there, if not then pls desist from such statements unless of course you want to tell us what happens in your family, tryin soo hard to brand igbo men as violent wont sell cus igbo men are not the ones killing people in nigeria .

@ Bash: and there you have it. Ivynwa sounds like an Igbo woman to me. Maybe if you listen to your women and stop being so defensive you will hear something. That's exactly what this issue is about.

whether she is igbo or not is not my concern people should stop playin tribal or racial card if we are goin to progress, am still waiting for her reply it could be useful how men of different tribes or races treat their women cus they seem to be 2 igbo tribes from nigeria and like i said if you read the original thread the man is a lunatic who attempted shooting a customer before this final event

ajo mmadu

sweetguy10:
Actually most igbo men I know here in Nigeria are always strict , commanding and beats their wives so it wont be a surprise to see them transfer the act and carry it out beyond borders , have you heard that adage about " taking the man out of the ghetto and not taking the ghetto out of him ?" Lots of igbo men are wife beaters I've seen/heard lots of experience .

what of the yoruba men that beat their wife what excuses do you have for them , also AA men , european men asian men etc what excuses do you have for them , i for one have not met an igbo man that beats his wife , my brothers dont my dad never did or any of my friends or neighbours so stop talking trash .

no more law and order in this world , we have lost all our morals just for paper

alphabet43:
This is the 'only' story you could find isn't it? You need to be more productive with your time and effort. Life is short

no its not , i keep old newspapers and i dont mind takin snapshots and postin, just stop pickin on peoples tribe

Lakeside247:
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my backyard?

your backyard i don dey suspect you oo

alphabet43:
@ bash Thats too silly for me to respond to. You and everyone know that. I didn't say it's Igbo culture to kill their women but feel they should be in total control of their women which 'can' lead to violence etc

thats not true we are not dominating even the bride price people rumour about that its high are all rumours there is no such culture in igboland that suggest men be in total control.the man is a lunatic and have been arrested before.

alphabet43:
@ bash now you're sounding silly. Saying 'Yoruba men are promiscuous' is like saying 'human beings eat food'. Promiscuity has no demographic. Educate yourself my brother and lets better ourselves. It's called constructive criticism, not bashing. I'm not here to make you or Igbos look bad. Lets just be factual and better ourselves where we can. God bless you. ONE NIGERIA!!!

you are the silly one ,did you read before postin , you typed that its in igbo culture for men to kill thier women and feel like God, if judging by that then its in yoruba culture to kill your mother and be promiscuos. you should be more concerned about hundres slaughtered daily, raped including children in the north and nobody is doing anything about it maybe igbo people and thier culture should be blamed too

its there in the crime(nigerian girl kills mother) section so am not even goin to argue with you, besides you have your internet , search and you will find .

look at you describing a tribe over 25 million from wat you know about ur pherhaps juvenile friends , if be it then yorubas are promiscous to a fault cus that how my yoruba friends behave.

if you think you have information you will be suprised by what i have myself so bring it on lets know who will go home with shame at the end of the day . nice gbakwa oku

alphabet43:
@ bashr post the link and dispute my tribal card. Facts are facts. I won't even begin to mention the God complex my Igbo friends have towards women. It's in you guys culture and it's factual. I've had to get involved multiple times myself. I was trying to be nice and for your information, I have more facts that I'm not even disclosing

alphabet43:
@ bashr4 which Yoruba killed their mother? To be honest, lots of not so good stories I've heard about Nigerian men from women in the US have been about Igbo men. Don't really know why and I'm not trying to bash anyone. Is there a reason? After hearing a few stories from these women, I started asking what their mens names were, and  You guessed it.

Controlling nature etc. Unfortunately we all (Nigerian men) get stereotyped

of course you woudnt know cause your only intrested in igbo news ,i bet u also dont know of the yoruba man one that killed both the wife and child with basebsall bat in the same u.s you live , when you stop playin tribal card then you will se all that.

all these nigerian pastors need to be watched carefully

eeeewwww

world should just end make everybody go rest

anyway na height of poverty dey cause all this nonsense for naija

I am the murderer, I am not the suspect, I will tell you the truth, I killed my mum because she is a witch," said 26-year-old Olubukola Adefisayo, who is in police custody for allegedly killing her 62 year-old mother, Adedoyin Adeife.

The suspect was arrested by the Aguda Divisional Headquarters Area C Surulere on August 21, after report reached the police that she had killed her mother at their Number 2/4 Bola Bumi crescent, Aguda, Surulere.

The suspect is a graduate of Accountancy from the Oklahoma University in the United States of America. She confessed to being a cocaine addict from the age of 9 and was sexually abused by her uncle at the age of 3.

"I have two children age 3 and 2, but I gave them up for adoption. When I came to Nigeria, I started working for my mum as an estate agent. But she will not pay me well. I got angry because she is very rich. I see her writing cheques in million to her sister, but anytime I asked her for money she will not give me.

"I am sane and I am the murderer, I killed my mum after I discovered that she is a witch and had been sleeping with our 12 year old house help, Segun," Miss Adefisayo said.

She said she was jailed in the US for attempted murder. "I was living in the US and one of my neighbours had an issue with me over the laundry machine. After that issue, I went to jail and I decided to come back to Nigeria."

Miss Adefisayo indicted her mother for her drug addiction. "My mum introduced me to cocaine at the age of 9 and since then I have been an addict. After taking my cracked cocaine one day, I had a flash back on how my uncle raped me when I was 3 years old. I began to cry and I asked our house help, Segun, if anybody had touched him in a way he does not like. Segun told me that my mum did and my mum had also given him cocaine.

"I said why should mum have sex with Segun and it got me mad, we used to be poor and suddenly, we became rich because my mum used Bunmi, my sister for money rituals."

The suspect said she used a sledged hammer to kill her mother. "Segun told me that my mum also initiated him into witchcraft. I got really angry. I used white clothes to cover the entire mirror in our house; I lit seven candles and waited for 9.45pm which is spiritual time. When my mum came in that night, I asked her if she was a witch, but she was reluctant. I threatened to kill her with the hammer and then she said yes she is a witch and she killed my sister.

"My mum tried to collect the hammer from me and we started fighting. I overpowered her and hit her with the hammer on the head, she just slumped and died," she said.

When the suspect saw that her mother had died, she said she told the house help to pour acid on the body.

Police spokesperson, Frank Mba confirmed the incident.

Mr. Mba said: "After committing the crime on August 19, the suspect took the house help and they went to lodge in a hotel. She put a call to her sister in the US telling her that she had killed their mother.

"The case was reported to the police two days later and they went to their house and saw the lifeless body of the victim.

"From her confession, it is a combination of many factors. She need a psychiatrist and we need to decide if she committed the crime in her lucid period or as a result of the drugs she has been taking.

"Meanwhile, the case is been handled by the homicide department in Panti."
