warrior01:
The Nigerian government headed by Buhari has been begging the Boko haram terrorists to come for negotiation but has chosen not to engage and assuage these legitimate protesters in a dialogue to assure them of government to develop all parts of the country irrespective of political and ethnic divides. Shame on Mr Buhari and his advisers.

kushma:
Biafra have come to stay cattle rearers and yoloba should take note.

vkeydon:
Buhari will soon start experiencing the 10 plagues of Egypt

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in southeast Nigeria on Wednesday to demand the release of an activist who operated an illegal radio station calling for a separate state of Biafra.

The demonstration in Aba was the latest by separatist groups on an issue that has again exposed deep and longstanding ethnic fault lines in Africa's most populous nation.

A previous unilateral declaration of an independent Republic of Biafra in 1967 led to a brutal civil war that left more than one million dead in nearly three years of fighting.

In Aba, the commercial hub of Abia state, some 2,000 people carried placards with slogans such as "Biafra or death" and waved the Biafran flag -- a golden rising sun on red, black and green.

Others wore t-shirts and caps with the image of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) pressure group.

Some sang freedom songs and carried the outlawed Biafran pound currency.

"Getting our leader out of detention is our immediate concern but ultimately we want to be free from Nigeria," IPOB's Abia coordinator, Ikechukwu Ugwuoha, told the crowds.

"We are tired of this forced marriage imposed on us in 1914 by the British colonial authorities. We don't want anything to do with Nigeria again because we have not benefited from Nigeria."

- Criminal conspiracy -

Radio Biafra was taken off air in July this year after the government accused it of being a "seditious pirate radio station" which broadcast "unsavoury hate messages".

Kanu was arrested last month and charged with criminal conspiracy, membership of an unlawful society and criminal intimidation.

A judge in Abuja on Wednesday ordered Nigeria's secret police to produce him in court next Monday.

Tension has been building since Kanu's detention, culminating in demonstrations in major southeastern cities and fears of a crackdown against protesters.

In Port Harcourt last week, police fired shots in the air and teargas to disperse hundreds of pro-Biafra supporters.

The Aba demonstration came after a planned blockade of the Niger Bridge on Tuesday was cancelled because of warnings from security personnel.

The bridge crossing the River Niger which links the southeast with the rest of Nigeria was the de facto border during the civil war.

Pro-Biafran sentiment has persisted among the dominant Igbo people in southeast Nigeria because of perceptions they have been punished for breaking away.

But the man who led Biafra during the civil war, Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, warned against a second bid for secession in an interview before his death in 2012.

Nigeria's military ruler at the time of the civil war, Yakubu Gowon, last month said he recognised people's right to protest but the concept of Biafra was "finished".

"I don't think it (the increased pro-Biafran sentiment) is any threat," he told Nigeria's Channels television on October 23.

"If there is anything of this sort, anywhere in any part of the country, just like the problem of Boko Haram, we, Nigeria, should deal with it in a mature way."

- 'No going back' -

On the streets, however, there was defiance. IPOB member Jude Chukwu Akiaba tore apart the green and white Nigerian tricolour, calling the country "dead and buried".

"The Nigerian government has neglected the Igbos for long," the group's women's leader, Uzor Amaka, told AFP. "There are no social amenities like roads, electricity, hospitals and jobs in the east.

"Our people are still being made to suffer for the civil war. So, it is better to call it quits with Nigeria and put our destiny in our hands."

Osmond Lekwauwa said he was ready to die for the cause.

"What's the point of belonging to a nation where you cannot have basic necessities like good roads, water, electricity and jobs?" he asked.

"I left school (university) six years ago and have not been able to secure a paid employment. I have been doing menial jobs to survive. At 32, I cannot even raise a family.

"I will rather die being a Biafran than to remain in Nigeria," he said, urging local political leaders to back their campaign.

"There is no going back on the struggle," he added.

korel9:
I hope the gullible Nigerians and regressive northerners can now see what they've been blaming GEJ for in the past govt.

Seems like the body language of the kunu sipping one a.k.a "new sherrif" is incapable of putting a stop to these killings.

Imagine the shameless one tweeting that we should "join hands together" to fight this scourge, join which hands?

What did he do or say to help the last govt to stop the killings?

The last govt had an excuse of refusal of USA to sell weapons to it, what has this govt got to give us as an excuse judging by all the supports it is getting?

Instead he's busy "fighting kwarupshon" and all perceived enemies while the economy of the country hastens towards recession.

You (Nigerians) asked for it and here you have "cluelessness and certificatelessness" on a full scale including ethnic bigotry.

chukkiephil:
Whenever you see "source " in a story, just know that its propaganda and you don't need to be told where it's coming from?

Guyman02:
When are we going to have JEGA appear and tell us how he manipulated the card reader to favour APC and how it allowed thousands of underage children to vote in the Presidential elections in the North.

Flagrant violation of court orders, boothing out judges that refuse to dance to his tune.

I can feel the change.

permsec:
Once you are a PDP member, you are corrupt.

The moment you defect to the APC you are a saint.

Yet they claim not to want a one political party system.

OCTAVO:
May God give us children that will accept good morals.

nnachukz:
Nigeria a country without law or where her first citizen also known as the president doesn't even obey any law. To him the court is useless but expects to use it to get all his boys to power against the people's wish.

Xpaz:
The problem is That Buhari himself doesn't obey the law

chesterlee:
Thousands are dying daily while Buhari is busy battling Dasuki and Nnamdi KANU


How the hell did we end up with such archaic dictator as our president?



BTW Expect a twitter condolence from the dullard!

hinwazaka:
This is how they tried to kill Akpabio before he went for his trip abroad. This bast@rd we call our President has brought back the days of political assassinations. God will punish the 15 million Nigerians who thumbed us back to Egypt and pharoah.

luvinhubby:
Hope Nigeria has not returned to OBJ's era of political assassination that died down during GEJ's tenure.

Buuhhaaarrriiiii ooooo!

B69U:
APC and desperation. We are truily back in the OBJ age of politics. How did Nigerians get it so wrong?

The Cabal are back. This cannot be change but short change.

nnachukz:
Ekweremadu, you are eating with devils, use a very long spoon. Don't ever trust APC.

Opinedecandid:
Thank your God for sparing your life from the hands of the children of a bond woman.

Do we still have a country called Nigeria with a President as the Chief Security Officer?

Will silencing, probing, jailing, killing, and eliminating opposition elements in the country better the administration of President Buhari and his APC?

They promised us change,
WE HAVE BEEN SHORT-CHANGED.

They promised us to hit the ground running,
THEY HAVE HIT THE GROUND GROUNDED.

They promised to fight corruption,
THEY ARE NOW AIDING AND ABETING KWORRUPTION.

They promised to regulate global oil price and make pms available to Nigerians at a very low price,
NOW WE ARE BUYING FUEL ABOVE #200/litre, DESPITE HOW LOW OIL PRICE IS PER BARREL.

They promised to equate naira face-value with a dollar,
NOW, A DOLLAR GOES FOR OVER #220.

They promised to pay #5,000 to each unemployed youth,
NOW, THEY ARE DENYING, EXCUSING AND PROCRASTINATING.


They promised to create employment,
NOW, THEY ARE DAILY CREATING UNEMPLOYMENT. MANY COMPANIES AND JOB UNITS ARE LAYING-OFF, DOWN-SIZING, AND SACKING.

They promised us a better economy,
Now, THE ECONOMY IS IN COMATOSE .

They promised us increased security,
Now, WE HAVE MORE DARING INSECURITY.

Bobbystanley:
Who else if not APC

They can't handle the criticism of the Opposition.

Fayose, Senator Ben Bruce and Ike Ekweremadu are nightmares to the APC administration filled with lies and propaganda.


Thank God for the life of the people's senator.

RollingStones:
APC and their TERRORIST DULLARD are responsible.

It was Hell-Rufai the dwarf that told us the truth.

Buhari is a TERRORIST=Hell-Rufai.

Soneh:
God bless gej

I see a Bright future for nigeria

Congrats nigeria

dason4life:
That is why we do warn these ladies of abortion!
She has lost her womb knowing that she won't give birth again. Out of fear of being
dethroned to the position of a second wife (for being barren) she then decide to steal a BABY
TO FOOL THE HUSBAND.


****Oniranu****

greatestman:
I am speechless, well respected Governor (Before). Have throw his integrity to dogs just because he want to be relevant in APC.

iykepromotions:
you need to do more research if you're interested but majority of job opportunities posted online are nothing but scams with no traceable address. don't fall for it

MosakuAW:
I dont support what he did, but why will the company deduct N25k from a driver's salary.

What happen to insurance company where the car was insured. If at all they are to deduct the amount of damaged incure on the car, they could have done it bit by bit not 25k from his small salary.

The guy self don dey plan do this kind thing for so long, na the opportunity of salary deduction he used. Hope this will teach him sense.


There are always 3 sides to a story:

1: His side
2: The company side
3: The truth.

Dannyset:
This rogue Udoedeche is crazy and should be arrested for collecting bribe Somebody was giving you above 3million as Tfare at a sitting and ur here talking about you can't be bought. What kind of politicians are we even dealing with in Nigeria? And APC didn't even vet him before accepting him into the Party, now he's already saying rubbish.
