THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN OBI'S PETITION. HOW CAN YOU CITE RUMOUR AS A LEGAL GROUND. SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE CALLED IBOS.

This guy don real broke and Obi’s loss don dash im hope for cash gifts.

Reports that Peter Obi in his election petition is not seeking to be declared the winner of the election is false and misleading. I’ve seen a copy of the petition. Peter Obi has prayed that he should be declared the winner. The law allows a petitioner to seek alternative reliefs.

That is what Peter Obi and Labour Party have done in their petition before the Court of Appeal. They are seeking reliefs in the alternative; either that he be declared as the winner having scored majority of lawful votes cast, or that the entire election be nullified.

There is no issue here. Those who are making issues out of the imbalanced media reports on the contents of the petition are doing so either because they’ve not seen and read the petition, or they are mischievous or they don’t understand.

Let’s see how this turns out eventually.

You can read the entire prayers that the Petitioners (Peter Obi and Labour Party) are seeking below.

Of what importance is this ? Is he the first person that wii challenge presidential election in court? You people like to celebrate mediocrity and valuelessness .They have been doing it since 1964 ,and no challenger has ever won . His own case is even worse, a third-placed contestant seeking to be declared the winner. Don't go back to your business, election is already won and lost. Your Obi is giving free lunch to his lawyers.

[quote author=nnamdiosu post=121381274]Your dream is an indication of your future ministry. I strongly sense, you will have a ministry that fights against the marine kingdom, that's why they are even trying to have you on their side in the first place.

The dream speaks a lot. Its to let you know...

1. How they operate (by convenants)

2. How they deceive (see how she tried doing pity pity to invoke sympathy? See how the deceived the sailor to come back to her )

3. To let you know ahead that in many cases, the deliverance of people is in their own hands and sadly, not everyone will be saved. Not because God can't save them, but because they were deceived to think their case is hopeless.

4. Their weak point. What they dread or fear.

Note: that sailor in the dream, doesn't generally mean a sailor, but people who have sailed the way of the marine or strayed I to their camp. People who have ventured into their domain.


Lastly that ground of fire? That's the begining of the gift you have. That's the begining of the effect you will do in the spiritual realm when you are

Don't mind him ,he's an agent of Satan. Satan never likes truth about himself to be revealed. That guy ,and other like him here, is sent here to discharge people from believing this about the Satanic kingdom.

You can even start from the World Court .

It's not the Southwest, but the Southbeasts that are in dire need of that peace that they may stay in Lagos, and any part of Yorubaland for that matter, in peace. I wonder if the Southbeasts would have sought and agreed to peace if they had achieved their insanely delusional desires .If they like let them continue in their madness, we will tame them. This same Uba never sought peace when his fellow Southbeasts were running a rampage insulting and cursing the entire Yoruba race and desecratiing our culture. Is on duty now that the Southbeasts need to make peace to be able to remain in Yorkubaland peacefully.

Of course , for the Southbeasts like you.

Let the end of tribalism start with you. Now u know Gbadebo is a good leader, he is also half igbo and half yoruba. If he fails in lagos. Let us now show yorubas we are not tribalists.. Can we now gather our self to buy labour party Governorship candidate form for Gbadebo for Anambra governorship to contest against soludo. So he can use his wonderful ideas to change Anambra.. So that when yorubas see what he has done in turning anambra and continuing the legacy of obi.. Lagos can now vote him in after Sanwolu... I think is a good idea.. Don't you think.. Let Eluupee people push this idea and let everyone support him as they just did in Lagos..

It's perfect since there's no reasons and intelligent that can rule not just only in Anambra but the entire Southeast. All na so , so mediocres , empty-heads and charlatans. You need a Yoruba man, whether half or full, to teach what governance, not just good governance, is.

 Attack Polling Units, Injure Over 16 INEC Officials In Anambra by beerfraud: 3:57pm


Over 16 Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, adhoc staff were attacked, and electoral materials including ballot boxes were destroyed on Saturday at Odoakpu Ward 7 Onitsha South Local Government Area Anambra State during the House of Assembly Election.

Five INEC adhoc staff were seriously wounded while over ten sustained minor injuries during the attack by the hoodlums who were moving from one pooling unit to another in Ward 7 and other Wards in Onitsha South L.G.A.

According to Mrs Ozoha, “We were surprise about the attack and their reason, all we know is that election was going on peacefully before the invaded the voting units and started beating us and destroying the materials while carting away ballot boxes.

A candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr. Jude Umennajiego, who was accosted at the headquarters of Onitsha South Local Government Area, as he was about taking some of the wounded INEC adhoc staff to hospital, told newsmen that the APGA candidate in contest with him discovered that he was going to be defeated in the election abd desuded to procure hoodlums to destroy the electoral materials and ballot boxes.

“He knows that Odoakpu Ward 7 is one of strong holds in Onitsha South and he has seen that I was heating him hands down so in order not to allow the election to continue he procured hoodlums to disrupt the election. I came here to take the wounded INEC adhoc staff to hospital because am human.

“The violent act by APGA procured hoodlums started when the Onitsha South LGA senior official visited the affected areas.”

k Nweke Jr has called out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for deploying thugs to intimidate voters in the state.

He said this while speaking to newsmen after casting his vote.

Nweke said, “There is a clear order from the military high command and police high command that all movements across communities are prohibited, and as a law-abiding citizen, I must abide to.

“But it is regrettable that information reaching us from various parts of the states has not been as savoury as one would have wished.

“If you go to Maryland, for instance, there is a gentleman called Freedom Nnam who has been identified very clearly as coordinating thugs who are actually intimidating and threatening people that if they don’t vote for the PDP, they will be harmed. We have received several reports. There have been a lot of security breaches. People are being attacked. Voters are being intimidated by the Peoples Democratic Party, that’s what it is. It is by the PDP, the nation deserves to know what is going on



 fewer than 140 political thugs have reportedly been arrested by Nigerian soldiers in the Nsukka local government area of Enugu State, Southeast Nigeria.

The soldiers providing security in Enugu for the Governorship and House of Assembly elections arrested the hoodlums allegedly deployed for today’s (Saturday’s) election by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which lost the presidential and Senatorial elections to the opposition Labour Party in the state.

A security source told SaharaReporters that some thugs who were armed with weapons including AK-47 rifles have confessed that they were deployed by a local government chairman, Hon Walter Ozioko.

An inside source disclosed that the hoodlums were picked up at the popular Carolina Hotel in Nsukka.

if votes didn't count politicians won't pay for it

anyone who thinks politicians who pays heavily for vote do so out of mere generosity/benevolence in a jungle like nigeria needs to be flogged with matchet

But what happens to the votes no paid for. Do they count?

Xxxxtentacion2:
Politics should not be a do or die affair...

No . Not for the animals from the Southeast.

Look at this shameless old hag . All of you will soon find out that your new President is not a jellyfish lily-livered Buhari who always doesn't know what to do . Where were you when your fellow Igbo animals were attacking Tinubu morning day and night. The is the reason no Iboman will ever President in Nigeria. Look this whom Obasanjo made a minister, not because she had any value to add ,but such the sex maniac could always have her around anytime he was in his heat which was constantly.

No chance for an Ibo surrogate and an IPOB terrorist in Lagos. The Centre is hour own . If he thinks election is like the #ENDSARS riot that he sponsored and supervised, he will soon find his dwelling place behind the bars at Kuje . Let him not stir up the lion of Bourdillon, lest he springs and capture.

That's they can't leave the Southwest, and desperately desire to become Southwesterners by force intimidation. The southeastern is the real animal kingdom. Nothing works.

That's not a Party agent, that's an IPOB terrorist trying to forcefully snatch the BVAS.

The sorrowful wailing of a loser . To which end beyond the court? Do IPOB control the court? And if you think this is like #ENDSARS protest that you sponsored and supervised and start any trouble with your IPOB terrorists, you WILL end up in jail.

Unknown Gunmen Now Known. They Are Igbos Who Kill For Human Organs – Soludo

AFTER wrecking havoc in various communities in Anambra State for several months during which many people were kidnapped, killed and sometimes beheaded, many of the so-called unknown gunmen have, at last, become known.
In a space of one year, no fewer than 30 persons, including security operatives, lost their lives through the activities of the unknown gunmen. Many police stations and operational security vehicles were also burnt by the gunmen during their operations.

The situation was so bad that the November 2021 governorship election in Anambra State was threatened such that the electoral umpire, INEC, almost muted the idea of suspending the election. It was at the height of the unknown gunmen saga in the state that Dr. Chike Akunyili, the husband of the late Professor Dora Akunyili, was killed. Akunyili was felled at Nkpor in Idemili by gunmen after attending a programme in Onitsha where he picked a posthumous award for his late wife.

Other killings by the unknown gunmen were to follow, including those of the lawmaker representing Governor Chukwuma Soludo in the state House of Assembly, Dr. Okechukwu Okoye, a former member of the state House of Assembly, Hon Nelson Achukwu, a woman and her four children who were killed at UGA and an Onitsha based man, Sir Paulinus Mbanugo.

When Governor Chukwuma Soludo assumed office, he could not settle down properly for work immediately because no day passed without stories of gunmen burning police stations and attacking local government headquarters, or killing people. Many communities had to inform their relations residing outside the state not to come home until the situation improves.

Realizing that no meaningful achievement could be recorded under such a situation, Soludo swore to recover the state first before going into the execution of his promised programmes for the people. And so, the battle began. First, he revived the Anambra Vigilante Group and empowered them to be able to face the usually heavily armed gunmen. From all indications, results of the governor’s action are positively showing.

Recently, eight persons suspected to be connected with the murder and beheading of the late Hon Okechukwu Okoye, the lawmaker representing Governor Soludo’s Aguata Constituency 11 and his aide, were arrested by security operatives. Few others have also been picked and they are assisting security operatives in locating the camps in the forests. In these forests, such items, including coffins, charms, dangerous drugs, women, cars of all makes and large sums of money were common features.

Following the routing and smoking out of these gunmen from their camps in the forests, normalcy is gradually returning to the various communities. The routing started with the destruction of one of the most dreaded camps located in the thick forest along the bank of Oseakwa River bordering Ihiala and Ogwuaniocha in Ogbaru local government area where the supposed king of the gunmen, popularly known as Double Lion, held sway.

On the day he and four of his members were killed, Double Lion didn’t see it coming as they were easily gunned down by their breakaway colleagues who have since repented and are now working for the state. It was gathered that they had to eliminate Double Lion and his gang because they jettisoned the original plan by extorting and harassing people during weddings, burials and other ceremonies.

Double Lion, who hailed from Awoidemili in Orsu local government area of Imo State began his gun activities along the now abandoned Awka Etiti – Utuh- Ukpor- Orsumoghu- Lilu- Mbosi- Isekke axis, which used to be the connecting route between Anambra and other states of Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states because of the traffic gridlock along the Onitsha-Owerri road.

The armed gang also created a new operational camp in the Unubi bush, a town located in Nnewi South local government area of Anambra State. However, when the gunmen made that axis their haven and set up similar camps inside Orsumoghu and Lulu forests, motorists abandoned the route after many people had either been kidnapped or killed.

Happenings on that road made Governor Chukwuma Soludo to impose curfew on the entire Anambra South senatorial zone and banned the use of motorcycles at certain times in the zone.

The governor, who was seriously challenged by the gunmen, swore never to surrender the state to them, insisting that his administration must reclaim and make Anambra a livable state.

In the words of the governor, majority of the unknown gunmen are Igbo. “Let us be very clear: These criminals causing mayhem in Anambra are Igbos (dominantly from other South East states) whose real objective is lucrative criminality and foisting their idolatrous religion on the region. Why is it that everywhere they gather and in every camp they operate, there is a deity/idol to which they routinely offer blood in sacrifice? Igbo are known for their enterprise but these criminals are bent on killing Ndigbo businesses.

“The people of the South East, especially Anambra, are predominantly Christians. But with this gang, idolatry is back with vengeance. They forcefully try to convert people, especially the young ones to idolatry by initiating them into cults, swearing oaths to their deities, with the promise of invincibility. Consequently, these youths join them as members and informants.

“Spilling of the blood of the innocent is considered an abomination by our culture and by our Christian religion. We understand that they and harvest human organs for rituals and human sacrifice in their so called camps.

“With their new religion of idolatry and deadly weapons which they use to kill at random, they have tried to create a culture of fear and silence. More recently, the people have begun to question their propaganda, motive and means and they know that they have lost the sympathy of the people. That explains why they desperately tried to ignite a national inter-ethnic crisis by killing some innocent northerners who have lived peacefully in our state for decades to divert attention from their criminality and then seek to re-brand themselves as “defenders of the people.” They have failed, and would continue to fail.”

Five months gone in his administration, Soludo is winning the battle, such that the so-called unknown gunmen have become known.

Those of them who have succumbed to the superior power of the state security apparatus have been ranting and confessing their escapades in the state.

Take the case of Chukwudi, alias 50, for example. The hoodlum, who said he has been part of the unknown gunmen in Anambra State for the past one year, confessed that he had so far killed four persons, including two policemen and two civilians.

‘50’ was caught inside a forest at Ukpor, his home town, in Nnewi South local government area of the state along with other members of his gang by security operatives.

The security operatives had last week stormed the camp and arrested some of the unknown gunmen and destroyed the camp. Items recovered during the raid include arms and ammunition, police and military uniforms, a coffin containing charms and various kinds of drugs.

He said that although many people had been killed inside the camp, including those whose relations already paid ransom, he had not killed more than four people, adding that the last person he killed before their camp was destroyed was at the instance of their leader who ordered him to kill the man because he was a saboteur.

He said that their leader, Ezemuo, (King of spirits) now at large, was doing most of the killings, along with the late Double Lion who was killed at Ihiala.

Chukwudi said: “We killed some people because they were accused of monitoring us and acting as informants to the police and government. The two policemen I killed were at Ozubulu and I did it because the commander ordered me to do so.

“Our commander, Ezemuo, is from Imo State and he has run away, while Virus,

Most communities in Nnewi South local government area, including Utuh, Ezinifite, Ukpor and Unubi have been abandoned by their prominent sons and daughters because they have been under attack in recent times. Same goes for towns in Ihiala local government area namely Lilu, Azia, Okija, Orsumoghu, Ubuluisizo, Isekke, Amorka and Uli However, the good thing is that security operatives have been invading the forests and have been destroying the camps of the gunmen.

The President General of Ogidi community, Idemili North local government area, Chief Chuka Onubogu traced the issue of gunmen to the increasing menace of cultism among the youths, saying it is disturbing that about 70 percent of the youths aged between 18 and 35 years were neck deep into cultism which is a precursor to their participation in the activities of gunmen.

He said: “Insecurity is taking its toll in Southeast and that is because we have failed in the upbringing of our children. Many parents concentrate more in acquiring wealth than on bringing up their children. If you train your children very well they will refrain from crime. All hands should be on desk towards curtailing the situation.

“What we are doing is managing it because drug is involved. What of the rich men that engage them? So it is a complex situation. That is why we talk of unknown gunmen in Igbo land. I think there is no more value for life. We get scared when we see unknown gunmen.

“These unknown gunmen have given themselves license to kill, not knowing that he who lives by the gun shall die by the gun. I usually hide my PG identity when I see those unknown gunmen because they don’t value life”.

While calling on the various communities in the state to intensify support for government in its fight against criminality to flush out the bad eggs among them, Governor Chukwuma Soludo said: “These people are not unknown gunmen. They live among our people, some of them have families and operate from various communities. We need people to help us identify them so that they can face justice.

“The gunmen came with their strange religion, but there is no relationship between light and darkness.

“Their gods drink blood, but ours doesn’t and that is why we need to fight them together. There is the need for the various communities to adopt ‘operation know your tenants,’ which he promised, would commence with his town, Isuofia in Aguata as a way of identi
