According to Asari Dokibo; COVID_19 has come to lay bare a lot of assumptions that we have taken to be true. It has clearly exposed the lie that makes up Nigeria. Our people were made to believe that without food from the North, we cant survive but starve to death. That is why I am behind Governor Wike (irrespective of our differences) in his fight against those thinking to be superior to us.
Wike closed the borders of Rivers State for months, and we did not starve to death nor have kwashiorkor. It is they who are insisting that they must bring food to us. It has shown that we do not need them. We do not need their food. We can survive.
I stopped eating food that comes from beyond Benue State; I have stopped eating cow meat, goat, ram, and other food sources from the North. Even the rice I eat is now bought from Ogoni.
Surprisingly, it's the Christians that are crying Islamisation of Nigeria that still empowers their oppressors by buying cows, goats, and other foodstuffs from the same Northern states; even down to Government houses from the south patronize the same people who in turn use the money to finance those who kill us.
He ended the video by advising people to boycott products from the North since COVID-19 has shown that we can feed ourselves.
All I see here is karma the thausands of souls wasted in benue and other states since this buhari's regime came into office are now on a revenge mission.
Balenciagaokey: OHANKU ROAD, ONE THE "USED TO BE" BUSIEST ROAD IN THE OLD ABA, GETS IT HOT, AS A PRIEST TOOK A DRASTIC PROPHETICAL MOVE, CALLING ON THE GOD OF ELIJAH TO INTERVEN ON THE LINGERED POOR STATE OF THE ROAD
The Revd Acha David Okechukwu, a serving Methodist Priest in charge of umuogele circuit, Diocese of Aba East.
This road used to be one of the busiest roads in Aba, Enyimba city,the ecomic hub of the Eastern heartland. It connects to many villages, cities and towns including Ngwa road, Iheorji, Mkpumkpu evule, Ama-nwadi-Ala to owerri-Aba, Ugwunagbo, Ukwa east and west, azumiri, Ndoki, Asa, connecting Akwaibom and Rivers states.
This area has produced many prominent men and women including the former minister for labour and productivity during GEJ administration Chief Emeka Nwogu.
But this all important road has remained impassable under many administrations in Abia State. The above mentioned priest received Divine instructions from God with his priestly robe to walk through this road from one end to another even in the moulky water for divine intervention.
He was crying, ''Where is the Lord God of Elijah"
Abia state will never develop like other states in nigeria until the people living there revolt against all the Indian shrine oath taking evil corrupt politicians that have held the state to ransom over the years.

kingzizzy: Nigeria is an incredible place. A place where IPOB that is only carrying flag is a terrorist group but Fulani herdsmen that are carrying AK47 are not a terrorist group
That's what you will get when fulani jihadists takes over the leadership of ur country.

kingawothefirst: You stupid fool, we won that war. Below is another picture of a war we won this one was the sweetest, even sweeter than the Ashanti one we won.
Which war have your people ever won?
Which war did you people win the one that was spearheaded by the british and her allies?
Am not surprised bokoharam war it's all political the north is using it to generate money to develop their land this is the reason why the war won't be ending any time soon. I just pity southern soildiers who they are using as sacrificial lambs.
Only a novice who doesn't know anything about nigeria will believe that this man didn't say such. These are people who have been committing genocide all over nigeria with impunity without any prosecution from this buhari's fulani govt.
The oil is from her backyard she only took what rightfully belongs to her. If buhari really wants us to believe that he is truly fighting corruption in Nigeria criminal politicians like tinibu and fellow apc corrupt politicians are supposed to be in jail by now.
So why are you northerners ever ready to go to war to stop the disintegration or the restructuring of nigeria? Every region have been surviving thausands of years before the British almagamation of nigeria in 1914 but the discovery of crude oil in the niger delta have made some greedy people up north to become more power drunk and abandoning the development of their human and natural resources.
If only men where God almighty does this proud man and his bloodthirsty fulani brothers even knows exactly what will happen in the next few years from now? Pride always goes before a mighty fall.

This would have been swept under the carpet by the evil and looting party. They would have shared it among themselves as the norm in their 16 years of failure and looting. God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari and his amiable Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo for all they are doing to make our once battered and looted nation to work again.
God bless Nigeria.

IgboPikin: THE BLOODY SIEGE IN NSUKKA "... Nsukka is a small town located North of BIAFRA. The federal army arrived there at the beginning of the hostilities so as to pacify her. Whole families were decimated! Young girls of nine or eleven years old raped and murdered! Men were killed along the roads, macheted or stabbed with lesser regard than a sheep or a cow at a slaughter house! Two hundred children were rounded up at a place, poured fuel and set ablaze alive in a mighty conflagration. Four hundred and thirty elderly women who were no longer of any utility to the occupation army had their breasts chopped off in chains. There also, like in butchery, Mmegwa a young girl of eight years old was asked the whereabouts of her parents to which she innocently answered: they had taken to their heels. They broke into laughter after which they poured bullets into her mouth and then across her nose. Later not contented with that they chopped off her two small hands and left her to bleed to death, there on the threshold of her burnt hut..." Source: The Death of BIAFRA (Tr.) genocide in Nigeria (1967-1970) by Ikechukwu Aloysius Orjinta pages 14 and 15
All these horrible actrocities surely have repercussions that's why killings will never stop in the north and nigeria at large until the nigerian state do restitution for this horrible genocide on innocent igbo people.
Traww: Suleiman Muhammad Murkthar @iMurkthar, a Muslim, Curator, Research and Communications Analyst has accused Tony Trace, an ABU Zaria student of raping over 70 girls.
With all these daily wastage of innocent souls how can nigeria ever make true progress like other developed nations? Nigeria is far worse than sodom and gommorah in the bible it should be totally destroyed to save millions of lives.
May 30, made it 53 years since the defunct state of Biafra was born. For 30 months, a savage internecine warfare raged between two armies of unequal strength and fire power.Overwhelmed, and faced with certain defeat, Biafra surrendered unconditionally.
Five decades on, the effects of the war still linger, resisting every effort at erasure. The mitigating post-war policy of the victorious Nigerian government led by Yakubu Gowon, aimed at reconciling, reconstructing and rehabilitating the defunct Biafra failed to make good enough.
Properties seized from the Igbo who constituted the bulk of what was Biafra, especially in Rivers State, remain abandoned till date while basic infrastructure in the five Igbo states of the Southeast remain in decrepit condition.
This situation is not made better with the subtle, but consistent effort in turning the Igbo out of doors of certain offices in Nigeria.
To date, certain positions have been denied the Igbo. But where such positions are made available to them, (which has been few and far between) they are caused to assume a refrain of favour, chorused by the state, its surrogate media and a few self-abusing Igbo.
Constant reference is made of such appointment with the government that effected it, singled out for unmerited praise.
Perhaps palsied by shock of the loss of the war, the intelligent among the Igbo became cagey, leaving the brash and the self-abusive compatriots to speak when silence should have sufficed. On many occasions, the appointment of an Igbo to a position he is entitled to has been made to look like a favour.
Even if the appointee was most deserving or the appointment came at the verge of retirement, expressions of gratitude were still lavish.
Inspector General of Police Ogbonnaya Onovo and Comptroller General of Customs Bernard-Shaw Nwadialor were some of those whose appointments to the headship of the two organs of the government conformed to the conditions above.
Neither was undeserving of the office he was appointed. Neither had enough years on the job before the appointment. Nonetheless, the appointments were celebrated by the brash and self-abusive Igbo.
The appointment of Brigadier General David Ndefo as the General Officer Commanding 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Kaduna, between 2000 and 2001 did not go differently. This time the media upped the game of reminding the readers that appointing an Igbo to a G.O.C position was a favour to be eternally grateful.
Major General Azubike Ihejirika’s appointment as the Chief of Army Staff was a tad above the ordinary run of reportage. It was advertised in the national dailies with comments of gratitude as if a mercenary was appointed.
Nigeria stands a chance of becoming a major economy in the world without her practised discriminatory treatment of a section of her people.
This is because apart from their quality contributions to Nigeria, the Igbo are a major stakeholder in the development of the country.
The full potential of any nation is not realized with a section of it consciously emasculated. Rather it is achieved by encouraging equality and availing each section limitless opportunities to aspire to any position.
The memories of the war should be erased permanently by consciously integrating every section of the country. Efforts must be made to eschew provocative statements capable of inflaming the state to a second conflict.
It is difficult for any nation to survive two civil wars. History is yet to record that any nation became great on account of repeated internal wars.
Countries that survived civil wars were known to be stronger and close knit perhaps because they learnt as did Bertrand Russell early that “war does not determine who is right, but who is left”. The lessons of war they also know are better appreciated in peace time.
Nigeria has a good chance of becoming great by leveraging on the ingenuity of the Igbo. It is fairly right to argue that the Igbo are the uniters of Nigeria. No other tribe has done as much.
Sadly, after the Biafran war, Nigeria deliberately ignored the Igbo. The ingenuity of the Biafran scientists was totally ignored. It died with the war.
No government saw the wisdom in adapting the technology. The effort at having the technology developed with the formation of Project Development Institute (PRODA) Enugu, was not encouraged by lack of attention. It has since suffered neglect.
Nigeria has failed to get her acts right with a succession of leaders without vision. The Biafran war and its attendant waste were avoidable had good reason prevailed.
Avoiding a repeat should be consciously pursued. Provocative statements as well as actions should be discouraged. The anniversary should be for reflection. It should be able to remind us of the cruelties of war and encourage us on the path of circumspection.
There can never be peace without justice for all any other thing is just prosponing the evil day.
kidap: An African youth body under the Aegis of African Youths for Integrity has called for the immediate removal, probe and prosecution of The President of the African Development Bank, Akinwunmi Adesina in line with recommendation of the United States of America.
Leader of the youth body Comrade Mutuli has accused Mr Adesina of massive corruption, Nepotism, Political interferences, Sponsoring politicians in African countries to leadership positions amongst others since he took over the leadership of the African Development Bank on 1st September, 2015.
The body has aligned with the United States to call for an independent probe of Mr Adesina for working against developmental activities in Africa, rather engaged in politics and giving of loan to friends, Nigerian banks, allies and countries that he has relationship with its Presidents. The youth body alleges that Mr Adesina has refused to give loans to struggling African countries but gives to the ones whose Economy is stable, negating the objectives of setting up the bank which is for development of less developed countries.
The youth body has called on Mr Adesina to stop running around looking for African leaders to save him instead of facing the probe. This development has shown that Mr Adesina is guilty of the allegations against him hence he is drumming up sympathy from corrupt African leaders.
The group also condemns Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo for calling on past African leaders to support Mr Adesina and shield him from corruption related probe.
The group has called on all anticorruption youth groups in the African continent to prepare for a massive demonstration in front of the African Development bank headquarters in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on Thursday 18th June, 2020.
The youth body is also calling on youths in all the 81 membership countries of the African Development Bank to join in the demonstration in their respective countries.
All demonstrations must comply with social distancing rules and remain peaceful.
We will release further information and website before the date of demonstration and what to inscribe on your placards.

kingzizzy: On 30th May, Biafrans arrived at late General Effiongs country home. In a brief ceremony, they played the Biafran anthem, raised the Biafran flag and said a prayer the traditional way using libation(those who speak Ibibio can tell us what was said)
After that, they met briefly with Effiongs wife who thanked them for coming.
General Philip Effiong was the Vice President of the defunct Republic of Biafra and its last President.
Ooni: The one that makes me cry is the fact that our future ruling class will all have Ibo blood considering how our high and mighty marry Ibo girls. our leaders in future could end up becoming their mole.
MetaPhysical: Let us support Yoruba women and their spouse into Govt House. In every region of the country the woman in First Lady position is a daughter of the soil, not foreigner. Why can't Yoruba woman be First Lady in her own region?
When you make women of other regions your First Lady you also authorize to them a privilege to bring in and employ, above you, people of other region into your govt.
Yoruba may be sophisticated but Nigeria is crude. You bring crudeness into Yoruba government as we see happening in Ondo. Learn from this and do the right thing going forward.
Vote Yoruba woman as First Lady!
#yorubafirstlady
Then let yoruba men stop marrying Igbo ladies this post is just a waste of time Igbo first ladies in yoruba land will continue to influence political decisions and appointments there's absolutely nothing any Igbo hater can do about it.
lawaol2003: This is ALL that we need in our world today. HUMILITY, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. USA Police departments humble, repenting and asking for forgiveness for the horrible/terrible death of George Floyd. Commendable.
Can the nigerian army or police force ever do this for committing genocide against the igbo people during the biafran war?
EBMedia: What Pastor Adeboye Said About The Rape And Murder Of UNIBEN Student, Uwa Omozuwa (Photos)
IgbereTV reports that Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, has reacted to the rape and murder of Uwa Omozuwa in one of the branches of his church.
Nigeria is becoming even worst than Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible how can any sane human being rape a girl inside a church a place she is supposed to feel safe and well protected?
