Nyanmiri are strangers to political wizardry. The accolade which is strictly reserved for the sophisticated Afonjas, you already know.

Truth is mine*

afonjas are never part of the game at the center. They are being sent back to where they belong because they have proven unfit for the national game

Every minute of your day is spent on thinking about the west
How will your region develop?
You leave you matter for ground carry another person matter for head
Yorubas are above you
That's the truth
I know it hurts but the truth is the truth
Spewing gibberish online don't change anything
Accept your position

continue decieving yourself. your short lived national relevance is over. OUK has chased the Jagajaga the coward. Buhari is an incompetent dullar.d and will never have our support, however, we will not allow afonja capitalize on that to claim knowledge of national politics since they have never been there in nigeria's history, so their chestbeating has no substance. so we sent all our bad and rejected politicians to give them a run.

Pro Biafra protesters in southern Nigeria on Sunday 8 November, 2015

Recuring protests seeking an independent Biafra have been seen in the past year
Nigeria's security forces have killed more than 150 peaceful protestors since August 2015, a human rights group has claimed.
Amnesty International said the country's military used live ammunition and deadly force against pro-Biafra protestors who were campaigning for independence from Nigeria.
Nigeria's police denies allegations that it used unnecessary force.
The country's army said Amnesty was trying to tarnish its reputation.
Amnesty's report is based on interviews with almost 200 people, alongside more than 100 photographs and 87 videos.
Among the allegations contained in the report are what Amnesty called "extrajudicial executions", when 60 people were shot and killed in Onitsha, in the two days surrounding Biafra Remembrance Day in May 2016.
Should new calls for Biafra worry Nigerians?

Biafrans keep independence dream alive
"This reckless and trigger-happy approach to crowd control has caused at least 150 deaths, and we fear the actual total might be far higher" said Makmid Kamara, Amnesty's interim director for Nigeria.
Other victims detailed in the report include a 26-year-old man who was shot in Nkpor, but hid in a gutter, still alive. He said when soldiers found him, they poured acid over him, and told him he would die slowly.

Another woman said she had been speaking to her husband on a mobile phone when he told her he had been shot in the abdomen. He was calling from a military vehicle, she said, and she heard gunshots. She later found his body in a morgue with two more wounds in his chest, leading her to believe he had been executed after the call.
The human rights organisation said pro-Biafra protests had been "large peaceful" despite occasional incidents of protester throwing stones and burning tyres - and one occasion when someone shot at police.
"Regardless, these acts of violence and disorder did not justify the level of force used against the whole assembly."
But army spokesman Sani Usman that "the military and other security agencies exercised maximum restraints despite the flurry of provocative and unjustifiable violence".
A Biafran state
In the past year there have been a series of protests by supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The movement wants to create an independent state - Biafra - in the southeast of Nigeria, home to the Igbo people.

A previous attempt to establish a state triggered the Nigerian civil war almost 50 years ago, in the aftermath of Nigeria's 1966 coup.
Unaddressed grievances from 1966 lie at the heart of the Biafra movement's resurgence.
Many Igbos feel that Nigeria is still punishing them for their previous attempt at secession.

LAGOS, NIGERIA —
Nigeria’s military has killed at least 150 peaceful protesters in a “chilling campaign” to repress renewed demands to create a breakaway state of Biafra in the southeast, Amnesty International said Thursday.

The military denied any “killing of defenseless agitators.” Security forces have “exercised maximum restraint” in response to violent protesters who in May killed five police officers and wounded several soldiers, said army spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman.

Evidence analyzed

The London-based human rights organization said an analysis of 87 videos, 122 photographs and testimony from 146 witnesses showed “the military fired live ammunition with little or no warning” into crowds protesting in several cities between August 2015 and August 2016.

Hundreds of people have been arbitrarily detained and some tortured, Amnesty said.

The report quotes one woman in Onitsha city who said her husband called her May 30 to say a soldier had shot him in the stomach and he was in a military truck with six others, four dead, and then whispering that the vehicle had stopped. Then she heard gunshots. The woman later found her husband’s body at a mortuary with three gunshot wounds, one to the stomach and two in the chest, the report said.

Amnesty said it has “evidence of mass extrajudicial executions by security forces,’’ including at least 60 people killed at a May 30 rally in Onitsha to commemorate the 1967-1970 civil war to create a Biafran state for the Igbo people. One million people died in that war.

Usman accused the secessionists of targeting other tribes in “a reign of hate, terror and ethno-religious controversies ... (threatening) national security.”

Protests increase

Protests have increased, along with military violence, since the October 2015 arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, who has broadcast incendiary statements in southeast Nigeria through the group’s London-based clandestine Radio Biafra.

Amnesty said that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to investigate but done nothing about its previous reports documenting the December 2015 military killings of more than 300 Shiites and the deaths in military detention of some 8,000 people in the war to curb Boko Haram’s Islamic.

Are you surprised at nyanmiri level of thinking?

Truth is mine*

He is surprised at Nyamiri's hidden political wizardry.

omofunaab:
Really

Put afonja to check ?

Yes. afonjas self acclaimed political mastery is all a ruse. we will send all our rejected politicians to APC to neutralize afonjas

zero8zero:
Nyanmiri lack understanding of politics-- OUK.

Truth is mine*

Nyamiri refused OUK ethnic coloration making him more desirable in Abuja than the tribal lord aka jagajaga ban who is now on the run

The governor seems too local sha

zero8zero:
I was thinking nyamiris would refer to Buhari's approval of the event as an attempt at Islamizing & marginalize the East. By the way, call me when Trump arrives as the chief guest.. Stupid Trumpanzees.

Truth is mine*

Lol, Dullarpo will still have his as.s kicked. we are not swayed by all the recent romance out of desperation to get off recession, but we will enjoy while it last

I love that he is in APC to put afonjas to check. but he will remain in the political dustbin in the East. we will only support him for national level, but he must forget about controlling a sitting governor

Donbiggi:
Nna, since last week na so so beta news from east dey full nairaland.. sumtin wey our own no do 4 us na 'em dis fulani man wan do. God bless baba buhari, God bless igbo land, God bless nigeria.

govt is a continuum. could buhari give approval for FTZ if not for the international airport constructed by last administration?

Switzerland is landlocked, without towering skyscrapers, no natural resource, but remain the richest.

Nwannedinamba 1 of Igboland, the only fearless afonja

going through the thread i saw the level of yoruba ignorance on the diversity of nigeria. i am surprised yorubas can't recognise Edo name

Gala business is still far better than Agberoism

Say NO to Afonjaism

Aufbauh:
I have told those who care to listen that no matter the level of destruction of oil facilities our political appointees will not feel the brunt like the common man.

If the oil fails to flow any day Buhari & Co will comfortably lived on non oil revenue without blinking. So my rationale is that,what do you gain when the one you felt that you were spiting by your actions is not adversely affected personally?

Hunger pangs have intensified in Osunistan, they received 300 million last month. Parasites are being dealt with

HtwoOw:
It's rare to see Yoruba forming ibo

It's either you pissed that person off or you insulted him


On the other hand however, every parody profile gmbuharii, dabuiiit, obafemiawolowo, Yorubaboy ,BiafraudExpose, rapistomenka, omenkata, cowardseun and several thousand other monica's are created by flat heads to spite Yoruba people and thier opinion

Many afonjas claiming igbo have been bused, just like the one above. afonjas always living in denial. It is not rare, them full nairaland. funny how you give excuse of them being pissed off or insulted, as if igbos can't be pissed off or feel insulted too. See pic of an afonja with igbo name

pol23:
Yes a typical Yoruba guy 'll run to fight another Day.
Soldiers do defence and offence simultaneously.
I hate Tinubu though!
But that man's rich and influential.

So why diss Ojukwu for running after fighting when you run before the fight??

omofunaab:
I liked the method used by VP YEMI OSIBANJO , this is how it should be done.

Igbos are enjoying buhari's administration. . .no more marginalization

Igbos full ogun state list Baje Baje.. .azin the reasonable ones not those ones donating money to buy helicopters

Ok, the money donated to buy helicopters has yielded results, the zo.o is scared of the incoming helicopters and their brain reseted.

he is on the run again. Running before the fight starts
