Sophisticated fire fighting

They should arrest the lady that owns that car for set up and induced robbery.
Dont get me wrong,
1) Why would she hand over her car keys to a hungry looking man like that?
2) Why did she keep such amount in a car that she wants to hand over to a valet knowing fully well that the man is hungry?
3) If she didn't intend to set him up, why did she search for the money immediately after the ordeal and even recorded everything immediately when she is supposed to be shocked?
4) Finally, why is she moving around with such amount in cash when there is POS and private ATM machines in most Hotels?

Like I said, the woman should be arrested for set up and induced robbery

This is the case of a bigger thief (Police) hijacking the loot from a smaller thief.
Nothing new

And the travellers that survived are standing there, waiting for the kidnappers to offload those they caught, then come back and kidnap them.
Black people sha

Laptop is outdated.
The future is mobile phones.

You were actually writing well until you got to number 3.
There you exposed yourself.
This is mere propaganda from Oyigboupdate desk

OfoIgbo:
The SS Republic would have been a huge scam.

I am glad that Ijaws are now thinking in terms of bringing about an Ijaw nation, the original NDR.

If Igbos will be alone, then every ethnic group should also have the right of being left alone.

Ibom Republic and the Ijaw Republic are welcome developments.

The Edos should form their own republic and stop hoping on forcing the OBA down the throat of other Niger delta people.

Igbo Biafra is alright.

If Edos need access to the sea, they can negotiate with the Igbos or the Ijaws to get that access

Edodefence abi na Edodefense, how body?

Edo and Ika will be one hell of a united Landlocked country.
I can't wait for us to fence them out

But these Fulani people mean oh.
They used Arrows hang Afonja like flag for the whole world to see then kick Yellow bar people's smelly yansh when they attempted to take their land back again

My dear stop crying, they conquered you people fair and square.
The fulani used their mental superiority over Yellow bars to turn Afonja against another Afonja to take Ilorin.
Stop playing excuse and indirect victim card.

How did an Igbo speaking Major Okonkwo manage to be Governor in the newly Occupied non Igbo Majority Midwest why did Ojukwu replace the Urhobo Col Ejoor and put and Igbo Speaking Okonkwo in his Place

So you were expecting to do the same in the Western Region..

No wonder the Biafran Army suffered such a disgraceful defeat at the hands of only 179 Soldiers at Ore

Even God was not on your Side
That was why it started raining at the most Critical moment

You still dey carry this your lie around like you people normally do.
Tell us the number of casualties your mystical 179 Spartans inflicted on Biafran troops

DonroxyII:
I swear ... This girl needed to be helped ... she even managed to get to 300L despite home front challenges....

Yes something is not just adding up.
Look at the way everybody attested to her innocence and introvert nature plus the unavoided complement on her beauty. It is beginning to look like she is saying all these things due to intimidation by those their dick has been standing since they had her in custody.
And the wife needs to be investigated as well

T9ksy:
If no shot was fired at Ore, why then did the biafran Liberation Front did a "usain bolt" back to their short-lived republic?

Banjo was loitering around Benin and holding meetings up and down with his fellow Yoruba people. He never wanted to invade Western Region which was why he was recalled and tried.
He wasted two solid weeks in Benin doing nothing. Two solid weeks during wartime, do you have any idea what it means?

christistruth01:
179 Soldiers defeated the Biafran Army at Ore

" After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier."

This is why I said that our definition of battle and Yoruba own is different.
To us it involves killing and struggle but to una, na just noise making.
Tell me how many people your 179 soldiers injured talkless of killing?

Like I said before, NO shot was fired.
This is how you people run up and down spreading fairly tales as history like you did with Oyo fairly tale while in reality it took a bunch of teenage girls to dismantle.

How many soldiers did your troops injure?

christistruth01:


Do you think that it was Amala Cooking Sticks that the Women of Ore used to Chase Ojukwu's Biafran Army out of the Western Region and back to the East in absolute Panic and disarray ?!

What are the numbers of the casualties if shots were fired?
It is not news that our definition of battle is different from your peoples own.
To you guys it's about shouting.

Investigative:
Honestly Nnamdi kanu
Is another breed
I can’t tolerate what that man tolerate
I swear
Kanu is an extra ordinary human being

That is the only reason why people respect him.

Reading this news again I realised that this girl is super strong.
She single handedly strangled a full grown man while maintaining her innocence

That lecturer that repeatedly talked about Chidimma's beauty should be arrested as well.

Only God knows how many times he has jerked off with her picture in mind.

BTW, the DPO of that Police station should be investigated because from the way all of them are focused on that girls beauty, her hole region doesn't look safe in their care

TripleOh7:
Lol. Even the Bini people raising shoulders are Yoruboid.

The Itshekiri speak a Yoruba dialect that is very very close to that of Ondo people.

If an Itshekiri person speaks their language, I can understand.

That's why they have names like Omawumi, Omatsola, Oritsejafor etc.

Those are classic Yoruba names.

But I thought we've all come to the agreement that names, language and culture doesn't define who is part of a larger ethnic group taking the case of Igbo in SE vs SS in consideration

Investigative:
As long they are not included in biafra I don’t care if they join Nigeria or not

If they don't continue, Nnamdi Kanu might be tempted to add them again. You know that man no get heart at all

Investigative:
am happy
We have do away with ijaw
Biafra without ijaw is my dream

Same here nwanne.
I just wish they can withstand the temptation of being bribed with bottles of Ogogoro and continue with their self determination

TripleOh7:
I don't understand you.

It is one of the main criteria of becoming Olu of Itsekiri. Something that generated controversy here when the contemporary was denied the right of ascending the throne because he was begotten from a Yoruba mother.
So there will be serious push and forth between you guys and Bini for that Itsekiri.
It won't be easy

TripleOh7:
We do share a boundary with them definitely.

I'll post the map once I can locate it.

The Olu of Warri confirmed a few years ago that they are descendants of Oduduwa.

You mean the one that must have either a Bini or Itsekiri parents?

Christistruth00:
We know History it was not only the Fulani Jihad that tried to overun Yorubaland and seize Lagos

Ojukwu did too in 1967 hence the Yoruba Proverb

"Ogun Ore, Ole Ku"


Interpretation :

The Battle of Ore was as tough as death.


It was at Ore that the Biafran Army was stopped by 179 Soldier's led by col iluyomade

Nobody imagined that the Biafran Army could attempt to invade Lagos because according to Ojukwu they were fighting for their own Survival in the East






We were least prepared for war when Biafran soldiers attacked my command in Ore — Major iluyomade


Colonel Oyinlade iluyomade (rtd) is a civil war veteran, renowned for his role in curtailing the onslaught of the Biafran army at Ore, Ondo State.

Your role during the civil war, particularly how you curtailed the onslaught of the Biafran soldiers at Ore has been spoken about by fellow military men like General Alabi Isama, what exactly happened at the war front?

When the civil war commenced around June to July 1967, I was based in Ibadan where I commanded a small unit. But I joined the military in 1952 with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha, who were my colleagues. I was sent to India for military training to be commissioned as Infantry, that is, to fight wars. The war started from the north, but it got to a point when the Biafran soldiers wanted to break through and conquer the West, they believed that if they conquered the West, it would be easy for them to manoeuvre their way through to the North. So, they wanted to break through Ore into the West, then straight to Lagos. But, at the beginning of August, I was despatched to Ore village to act as Security Officer, to ensure internal security and, to make the civilians aware of the presence of the federal troops. I was there with 33 soldiers. Later, Biafra captured Mid West, and arrived in Benin. This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place.

I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West.

After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier.



One can deduce from your exploits then that you were proactive and strategic in battle, do you observe such qualities in today’s military operation?

I was the only officer, the others were other ranks so I commanded them. I don’t know how the current Army is deployed and how they work. But, the way I look at them now, I would not want to comment but they know how they operate. But, in our own days, we were tough and well-trained; we were dedicated and had the ability to withstand any odd.



Are these qualities lacking in today’s Army?

I would not say they are lacking. I think money now has a great role to play. Money is used to dampen soldiers’ professionalism. If soldiers know that money is now so much available, you can understand their current thinking. Moreover, those who fought well during the civil war were not compensated. Those that did not fight at all were the ones promoted. Those who ran away were promoted. I would not want to mention names.



I recall you once complained that you were never promoted to the position of a General?

I was not promoted, even to the position of a full Colonel. Maybe because I am a Yoruba man, I can say this boldly anywhere. Look at what happened to late Benjamin Adekunle, for example. Who fought the civil war more than Adekunle? But, he was neglected, Why? The exception was Akinrinade that managed to become the Chief of Army Staff. Ariyo was driven away, someone just placed a letter on his table that he was retired; he never saw the person. What offence did he commit? Just because he was Yoruba; so many Yorubas, like that, were neglected. Nothing was given to us. It is very terrible.

The force is dominated by the north and they want to continue to enjoy the largesse of the military. They claim that Yorubas have many engineers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals hence we should not wrest the military from the Northerners. We are still angry with how we were treated; we just bottled it up. And from the beginning till end of the war, people like me never left the war front. I was one of the five brigade commanders that ended the war.



You have bottled up your anger for so long, is it time for you to let out this anger as you now have a fellow soldier, also from the North, now elected as President?

No, Buhari is a nice man, he is a fellow military man. He is an amiable man, a very nice man, plain-hearted, a gentle man to the core. I know him.



You seem to know Buhari so well, can you tell us more about the Buhari that you know.

I worked with Buhari when we were together in Marine Commando. He was GOS next to the General Officer Commanding and I was Divisional Training Officer, I was training and teaching other ranks. That was where I met Buhari. He was very nice, amiable to people. He was also a wonderful Head of State and he is a disciplinarian. He does not condone nonsense and I love him.



You have claimed to love Buhari so much, however, Nigerians would only love him so well if he lives up to expectations. Do you think he can live up to the high expectations of Nigerians?

Why not? To become a Major, you are well-read, hence you can tackle any problem. Mobolaji Johnson was a Major when he was appointed Administrator of Lagos. To become a major, you would have passed through the Staff College, attended several trainings, taken exams, attended different courses, partook in seminars to brush you up and acquire intelligence. Military men also read personally. I have a personal library where I have good books. I read on military, politics, philosophy among other aspects of life. Winston Churchhill read up to Class 4 and became the Prime Minister of Britain and the whole Commonwealth. And he led the Commonwealth military to victory. Adolf Hitler read only up to Form 2 level and he wanted to conquer and rule the whole world. What audacity other than the fact that he read wide. It is not about having a PhD; what is PhD to us? We read wide.

Do you canvass for the inclusion of retired military men in the new government?

Yes. For example, if I become a minister in Buhari’s government, my ministry will shine. Consider Brigadier General Samuel Ogbemudia in Bendel, he developed Bendel. Which governor has developed Bendel, now Edo State, the way Ogbemudia did till date? None. He was a military man. Back then, money was not the issue, but we fought to win the war. It was about being a real man.

What about fears that the dictatorial tendencies of military men, if largely involved, will be laid bare in our democratic practice?

The world is civilised and there is no more dictatorship. Democracy is practised around the world now. There is no country that practices dictatorship that will progress. A civilian should come up with policies that are beneficial but where the civilians fail, there may be the need for. For example, there is no reason all roads in the country should not be tarred. We should have water, electricity. Why can’t we have adequate power supply in the country? We lack dynamic leaders. We have voted them in now. Rather than for some of them to better the country, they will be after enriching themselves. What for? It is out of lack of imagination. But, I have confidence that Buhari will deliver. I can shout on top of my voice about this.

I am sure you did not read this thing you posted.
No shot was fired at ore
According to your article, the man and his boys Hid and while the rain stopped the Biafran troops. He even said that if the troops saw them and their number that they would have decided to overrun them.
It still boils down to the truth that no shot was fired

TripleOh7:
Itshekiri people are coming with Yorubas for sure.

Yoruba does not share boundary with them, so how are you guys going to it?
And are you people ready to fight Bini for it because they are their only hope to have access to sea

Graysons:
Port harcourt is own by two people.
The ikwerres own half of it
The Okrikans own the other half.
These two ethnic groups are the owners of port harcourt Opobos do not own any land in Port harcourt not even an inch, just clearing your ignorance.
And btw, Port harcourt is not an igbo city and neither is Opobo an igbo clan.

You know within yourself that you are lying to yourself alone.
Make Opobo people no catch you for bending corner

Goodmarlian:
Everybody abandoned ogoni why now?

Who deals with a snake?
If na you, you go collect Ogoni?
OK collect na, on behalf of Igbo and Ijaw, we dash you

Sincerely I wish and hope this news is true.
I wish the Ijaw people are really ready to fight for their self determination but within me I know that 4 bottles of Ogogoro each can change this news to one Nigeria forever

See these ones oh.



My dear Northern Coalition,
On behalf of the great Ndigbo, I wish to announce to you that "we ain't going no fụ́cking where" until we wake the indigenous Hausa people.
The wild fire of indigenous Nationalism that we are fanning must reach the Hausa people that you lanky desert people have subdued for centuries. Until they are awaken, we are going nowhere.
Yours Sincerely,
Igbo man

DenreleDave:
So did your useless Ojukwu intended to storm the west to kill the Yorubas but thank God our men at owo dealt with him...

We avoided the fate that befell the deltas your people killed and raped

Mr man no shot was fired at ore.
Major Banjo wasted two weeks there and came back with nothing
Biafran troops did not reach Owo

budaatum:
I have looked at my post again, and instead of criticising you for assuming no one knew, I should have commended you for educating those who might not know.

So please kindly accept my apology for my knee jerked response. The fact you posted it is commendable.

Apology accepted brother

Chai this life eh!
One group dey hustle make money to but houses, another group (Fulani) that is not even indigenous to the place is concerned about how many houses the previous group is buying.
You see eh, in this life you don't need to learn hating to be wicked

budaatum:
You are not a child who needs to be spoonfed. You are supposed to do your own research instead of relying in what you are told, and those of us who bothered already knew some Yorubas supported Biafra and agitated for Oduduwa Republic.

Let me get this straight.
I researched and brought out an information you never knew existed and you are telling me that I am not a child to be spoon-fed.
Oga between me and you, who dug out the information?
