The ones caught in Alaba international market are from where? See this guy...

One was caught recently who buried her sales girl under the shop after using her, an Igbo business man.

MANAGING Director of Brikari Nigeria Limited, waste management contractor of Bayelsa State Government, Mr. Bright Ayebakari, has disclosed that no week passes without officials discovering corpses of little children, severed body parts, arms and ammunition in refuse receptacles in the state.
Ayebakari, who spoke to NDV in Yenagoa, on refuse disposal and challenges in the state, said: “In our job, we are not supposed to pick corpses, but we see corpses, we see body parts, we see arms and ammunition at times, these are supposed to be classified. Most times, we see corpses, there is no week that we do not pick corpses of little children.

“Sometimes, the medical facilities amputate body parts, the recent one we evacuated was someone’s leg, an adult, somewhere near the New Commissioners’ Quarters in the state capital.

“I think it emanated from a medical facility located around the area and each time we see things like that, we call the attention of the Commissioner for Environment or the Permanent Secretary and the Police, and if it is a corpse, those agencies will do the needful and bury the corpse.


“Occasionally, we pick arms and ammunition and in such cases, we call the police. Recently, we picked two locally made guns and cartridges and we called the attention of the Special Adviser on Security to the Governor. That is to tell you that our workers don’t want anything to do with crime,” he said.


Human waste enclosed in bags.

Ayebakari added: “Another thing that results to issues is that we do not have toilets here in some houses, especially the indigenous communities, they do not have toilets. They package their human waste in a polythene bag and take it to the refuse receptacles. These are the major issues we are facing. In this part of the world, we do not sort refuse, everything is packed in one place.

“We have medical wastes, organic wastes, metal wastes, plastic wastes and so on and they are not supposed to be bundled up together, but here, it’s complete confusion because everything is bundled together and we are used to it.

Bag of US dollars.

“We are not used to attacks, sometimes some public spirited persons give our boys money. There was a day we even picked US dollars in a bag, but something funny happened. We picked this bag of dollars from the refuse receptacles, loaded it and threw it away at the dumpsite, the driver is not used to dollars, so he said that they were fake dollars.
“Then those who picked it called the local bureau de change operators and when they came, they discovered that they were real currency, and before you knew it, some of them got N5 million, N3 million and so on. So apart from bad things, we equally see good things too,” he asserted.
We notice native doctors’ concoction
On spirituality, the managing director told NDV: “So we see the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes we pick native doctors’ concoction too. If not for God Almighty, we can have some spiritual problems or issues too. That is the kind of environment we operate in.
“Therefore, we have a complete church in our yard. If you are a Muslim, we give you yours and you manage your beliefs. We have four resident pastors, every morning after preaching and prayers, the safety officer still reminds them of what is expected of every staff.

Cancer-causing operation.

“Our total workforce is now 728 staff. The job is an essential job, we work every day, we do not have public holidays, especially we, in the Administrative department, because we supervise the operations. I, as the managing director, I work every day, no leave.
“In our kind of job, there is the tendency to have epidemic. So among these 728 staff, we have a medical team, we have a technical workshop called TechShop where we have all kinds of mechanics. We also have welders because we do welding and fabrication. We have fuel attendants, we are self-propelled and we have a complete fuel dump in our yard.
“We are in the front-line, like the Covid-19, they will say when you sneeze, use a tissue and dispose it in a refuse bin. They will bring all those things to the receptacles and we will pick them. We know the effects of the kind of job we do, we do not see this job as a contract. I see this job as a call to duty and my contribution to society.
“So we do not see it as a contract, we see it as a service to the people and our contribution to society. I tell my workers, we all work together, the money comes in a pool, and we share and call it salary. We have a complete clinic, laboratory and pharmacy.
“We also have the fumigation department because before you touch anything, we fumigate; after evacuations, we fumigate again so that nothing will incubate there. In the South-South region, I do not know any state capital that is free from refuse as Yenagoa. I travelled round the country.
Not business as usual
“I used to have some friends that will come and tell me that this is not the way to do this job. You do not have to use all the money for the job, this is not how the refuse job is done. In some places, there will be refuse and I ask some of them what they mean by that. Another one that is retired now, but used to be a civil servant in the Ministry of Environment would come and tell me; ‘look, this job is not done like this, come and settle us because we are the ones that write the report.
“I told him to leave my office, I am from Bayelsa State, I do not betray, this job is a public trust, do not try to advise me to misbehave because if I advised you to go naked, you will not do it so do not come to advise me,” he said.

No toilet in many homes

The waste management boss asserted: “We can only advise because we do not have the power to enforce. Get your refuse packed, bring it to the designated fenced receptacle and drop it, avoid indiscriminate disposal of refuse. Those who are supposed to enforce the laws governing the tenants and landlords should let the landlords know that they owe the tenants the obligation to provide toilets.
“Many houses do not have toilets, especially the indigenous people, they must know that the state capital and its environs is a complete urban place. Defaulting landlords should be arrested and prosecuted,” the waste management boss noted.

these guys really brought us down low. It is pity

As a student , this has caused upset within and outside the school environment.
My FUTO cliques can’t even explain better . Why Imo .
First Supreme court governor, prison break , Orlu massacre, ESN, UGM , and now disputed professorship .
Everything forced down on ndi Imo.
Why the sudden interest of federal government in Imo ?
That’s one reservation I had about Rochas . In his quest for presidency , he brought APC to the East and Imo in particular, gave out ancestral land to Hausa/Fulani people , to be in the good books of Northerners, and since then , ugly events have continuously birthing in Imo .
Hopefully, time will tell and heal .

kettykin:
The killings is bad and unacceptable. However the civil war these folks are spinning will consume them, the first time the DSS is able to pin point the crime source within seconds with no one apprehended, let no fool think starvation of women and children will work this time around , it will be pure combat and winner takes all . With non combating sides like middle belt and south south neutral.

BKayy:

That is where they will be disgraced like that fake Oyo calvary.
Yorubas don't even have indigenous clothing but most of them here don't know.
Like the OP bundarina, most of them swallowed the fake things their dubious blogs and fake historical books fed them whole but God/Nature has a way of doing things.

She (Nature) makes them to jump into arguments like this so that they will be exposed and helped to reconnect to their roots (Their original history and culture that they are running from).

In matters like this, I present evidences that makes them realise that those books have been deceiving them all along. For example, the picture below, just one have already summarised who clothed Yorubas and where the cloth came from. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani. You can see Aso oke, Aso whatever and other names they call them in one picture.

BKayy:

He is right.
Take your time and read real history not your usual Yoruba blog articles.

BKayy:

Honestly, most these Yorubas are filled with ignorance.
Did one say Ijaw make clothes? Lol
Not just make clothes but export it to Ndigbo

I saw one claim head dress as part of Yoruba culture. The same Yorubas that their women either plait hair or wear Chinese kind of hairstyle?
Most of these Yorubas have deep inferiority complex. The way they rush to claim ownership of what isn't their culture is shamefully amazing

bundarina:


Lmao the copium is real for you. Actual history instead of your cope.

bundarina:


Drop the weed you are smoking, i don't care for delusional statements. Answer the question and stop being a class clown.

And the Sokoto Caliphate is in the north. Ife (Yoruba) iron smelting and art predates others in the Niger-area and is known for its exquisiteness. Akwette came about rather late (19th century) and was modeled after fabric sold by the ijebu Yorubas and the Portuguese to the igbos, all this is well documented.

PressMyButton:

In 1930, Nigeria had grown beyond village compartments into a bigger entity with southern and Northern Amalgamation. There was ethnic stratification and each tribe was uniquely identified from each other. People from different tribes were trading among each other in city centres along north & south. This was 1930 not 1903.. Let your brain conform.

People have been identified as ibo, Yoruba, hausa, Bini, Urhobo, Fulani, Itshekiri, Igala, Ibibio, Ijaw, Tiv, etc. It was clearly stated that they were called the Isobos (Urhobos ). In fact many would easily refer to people from the east as Eboes in a sweeping categorization or generic terms even till date.

Dane Gun making in a traditional blacksmith using forge and charcoal cannot be compared with the ones with high calibre tech in modern era. Dane Guns were primarily for hunting back in the day. Today, Guns are used in security & wars.
Don't quote me again, you too dumb.

aribisala0:


Your people never evolved anything beyond village level administration

That s why small groups were able to sell you as slaves for centuries
Itsekiri would come carry Eboes go
Ijaw would come carry Eboes go
Ibibio would come carry Eboes go
Bini would come carry Eboes go
Efik would come carry Eboes go

Every one had a taste

That is the reality not these latter day revisions

aribisala0:
You have a need to have a history as you have nothing worthwhile so I sympathize with you

The reality is that Eboes did not a any time evolve beyond umunna level politics and that is why small groups like the Arochukwu, the Efik, the Itsekiri sold you as slaves for centuries

Yes the Aros are ruled by an Akpa dynasty and were not Eboe

PressMyButton:

I read about some itinerant blacksmiths called the Isobos (Urhobos) who migrated to Yoruba hinterlands in the early 30s with a slightly modified blacksmithing.
I wonder why you guys find it extremely difficult to make use of your brains in matters requiring basic logic. As at 1930, Nigeria had gone far beyond cutlasses, iron and gun blacksmithing. Nigeria was linking cities with bridges especially in Lagos. There were storey buildings, oil Mills, roads constructions, schools, there were handful of graduates at the time. Nigeria was not a kind of Stone age society as at 1930.
I wonder why you sounded so fulfilled about blacksmithing as though people were still living much as hunters and wanderers.

PressMyButton:

He just helped a man with over 27 years of experience in Oil & gas, financial services and Accounting, out of poverty?.. A man that has been established in the profession long before NestOil was founded. A man that was hired to help grow NestOil, if e easy why is ibo not the CEO EWT?
You think all senior executives of an organization are salary earners?.
You have no idea that some are hired on contractual terms.
The scope of industry is beyond ibos, just face your 2×2 jeje.

BKayy:

All you wrote is to you savages.
Ndigbo, Hausa and Kanuri have already mastered jewelleries before Europeans came.

Here is the picture of the account of the white British emissary "Baikie", when he attempted to buy one of those anklets the magnificent Igbo woman I posted her picture was wearing.
He noted that each cost an equivalent of whooping four able bodied slaves.

Damn Igbo women are goddesses that are adorned with wealth. Does an Afonja ugly woman deserve to wear something like that.
Can the whole of Afonja land afford to decorate one of them with such when the Alaafin does not even wear rubber.

aribisala0:




There was no such transfer of technology
That is a blatant lie
You have no oral traditions about the accidental discovery at Igbo Ukwu so how you can wake up and claim to have tranferred technology to anyone is just bizarre. Technology you did not transfer ANYWHERE in Eboeland ? Not to Owerri Oguta Aba or anywhere? but to Yorubaland
Foe all we know the stuff was Igala stuff from a period before they were forced out by later arrivals which would explain why there was no oral tradition or similar findings anywhere else

What I see here is a strategy to tell so many lies hoping some will endure.

PressMyButton:

Nitwit, where do I change mouth?.. A man who has had a wealth of experience before the existence of NestOil. The ignorant mofo called him a salary earner out of his acute buffoonery. He must have been hired by the owner to come grow his company with a specific template. He was sought after to help develop the company with his wealth of experience.
A typical ibo trader like you lacks the understanding of the dynamics of an organization which are the core competence of an average Yoruba man.

PressMyButton:

You're a airhead. I never said he was the most senior. I was referring to the day to day running of the company which is within his purview. He's the brainbox managing the affairs of the company.
