What troubles me about my people, the Igbos is our overwhelming desire for peace and avoidance of conflict. It has come at a heavy price for us collectively.
You won't be calling us victims if we were ruthless like others

The way u sound, a stranger would believe that the great Igbo tribe is a minority tribe in Nigeria.

Always playing the victim card.

99thEnemy:
No contradiction, you just didn't comprehend.

For instance, if the Military or Police is asked to stop protesters from protesting, does it concern them if the so protesters are protesting for a right cause or not?

Edit:


Then the Airmen in the Airforce should also stay solely in the air too, and also, no military JTF should exist then.

No offence, but what is your level of education?

See yourself, there is no assumption here, we are dealing with facts, matter of land in relation with the provisions of The Land Use Act which is enshrined in section 315(5) & (6) of the constitution 1999 As Amended.

Under the law Nyesom Wike like the Governor of a state is the person in which all land in the state is vested in, in this instance Nyesom Wike as Minister of The FCT.

I am not arguing on your own level of knowledge, in this matter dealing with land in The FCT, Nyesom Wike cannot be wrong, he has the final say.

So your talk talk, or assumptions or analogy are all worthless.

Lol.

You must be joking.

We know, na the poverty statistics u wan dey inside.

When The Guinness Record books send am message to send account for payment, na then u go realize the hustle.

Freshandfitpod:
Just as tinubu broke the record of Making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world for the second time in a row.....

U must be speaking from a personal perspective?

The richest black man & woman in the world are from Nigeria, na that kind crowd I belong in.

MatrixCircle:
Anioma proposed state has the best and strongest argument among them all. Anioma should be the sixth state for SE.

Impossible, capital of Delta state is in the Igbo speaking part of the big heart state, so called Anioma is dead before arrival.

shortgun:
Nigeria must always cheat Igbos in everything.
Despite its status as an oil producing region, the southeast is the only region with only 5 states, it's the only region without a refinery.

Always claiming victim in every situation, even when Ndigbos dey argue amongst themselves, they will still claim victimization?

99thEnemy:
Well, that is a civil matter, which is not the concern of the Lieutenant on active duty.

The sooner one understands this distinction, the better one can make sense of the situation.

See as u dey contradict yourself, isn’t guarding private property a civil matter?

By the way if u are not aware, active duty for a navy personnel na on top water, not land.

Let alone activity on land owned by private citizen.

LagosOrigin:
How many battle Wike wan fight and lose at the same time like this ?

Looks like everybody don get the code to defeat Wike in almost battle.

Two days ago, he lost to a young officer, yerima.
Today, he has lost against PDP.

Wike is fast becoming a serial loser ..

Wicked Wike your Tormentor now a serial loser, You really wish in your wildest illusion?

After all said & done las las, u will still blame the APC for your woes.

The clown said I've not bought land before
So you that you've bought land before is unaware that land bought can be resold?
What are the terms of the right of occupancy
Did you even read where Lere said they have reallocated it from parks and recreation to public and commercial building
So if the ex-CNS is building a plaza there it is still violating the right of occupancy abi
You nor just wan get sense. Ba sense sam sam

Please go back & read it again, instead of believing the lies in your imagination.

Olayinka recounted how the land was allocated in 2007 to one Santos Estate Limited for park and recreation purposes.

He said the company did not develop the land because it was designated as a parkway and walkway.

Olayinka said in 2022, Santos Estate Limited requested the FCT to convert the land’s use to commercial use, adding that the then minister of FCT refused to approve the conversion.

He said following refusal, the company allegedly began partitioning and selling the land, including to the former naval chief.

“That particular company was allocated in 2007 to Santos Estate limited for park and recreation. The company did not do anything on the land because that place is a parkway, a walkway,” he said.

“In 2022, the company wrote to the FCTA to convert the purpose to commercial. Probably in anticipation of the minister’s approval for conversion. The man started to partition the land and sold it to people, including the formal chief of naval staff.

“I want to say the former chief of naval staff was scammed and he has realized he was scammed. Instead of him coming out to seek help, he now resorted to using military might.

“In 2022, the minister of FCT declined the request for conversion but the man had already sold the land by then. Wike wasn’t the minister then.

So u in that your small boys quarters knows more than the Minister of the FCT, who under the Land Use Act is the custodian of all land in Abuja abi?

99thEnemy:
I will repeat: Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima was following orders, that is his job.

He was not sent there to play property lawyer or adjudicate land disputes.

Expecting him to question the legality of every instruction he receives is naive at best, insubordination at worst.

The Ex-CNS may have abused influence to get personnel deployed, but that does not make the lieutenant guilty of wrongdoing.

Military duty is about execution, not judgment, and confusing the two is a civilian mistake that keeps getting repeated.

The military operates under a different legal framework from civilians. Active-duty personnel are primarily governed by military codes, such as the Armed Forces Act in Nigeria.

Ahmed Yerima was on active duty, following orders from a superior was exactly what he was required to do.



Let us use an analogy: imagine you were a child, and your father or mother told you not to let anyone into the house when they were not around.
Now suppose a property lawyer shows up to check the property. Would you just let the person in because they claim to be the lawyer?

An obedient child would not. The parent gave clear instructions, do not let anyone in.

The child does not concern themselves with whether the building is leased or owned, or whether the lawyer is doing their job.

All the child knows is that it is the parent's house, and no one is allowed inside without permission.

Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima did exactly what he was supposed to.

Is the land he was sent to purportedly protect military property?

Are u not aware that under The Land Use Act, that all land in Abuja belongs to the Minister who has all powers under the law?

Las las the general will appeal to Wike, & they will sort him out, all na paddy paddy government.

Kukutente23:
This clown and misuse of words
How was the ex-CNS scammed
You confirm that Santos estate owned the land and was given approval to use it for parkways and recreation
You confirmed that it's same Santos estate that sold the land then you turn around to claim it was a scam
Are you by any means implying that someone with ownership of land in Abuja does not have the right to sell it?
You need to shut up abeg

Let us pardon ur ignorance, quite obvious say u never buy land b4?

First the land was allocated for public use by the government for recreation & park purposes, not for residential or commercial purposes.

The prior owner applied for the Minister’s consent for it to be converted, it was rejected by the prior minister of The FCT, notwithstanding he went & sold it to the former general who started constructing whatever he was building on it, thereby violating the terms of the right of occupancy.

My certificates are genuine yet I don't have a job and we have certificates forger holding important positions in a country as big as Nigeria. It is well

These 2 men were extremely & highly successful in the private sector before they decided to play the game of politics & got into government, don’t blame them for your own misfortune if u cannot find work with your so called certificates.

owobokiri:
They will all be released very soon...
No be Naijeiriyaa again?

Just like u were released after that indictment abi?

So your message is that if you’re Igbo, don’t expect to get justice in Lagos state?
You’ve just confirmed it’s no longer about the law, but about identity.
Well, for the record, the Nigerian Constitution which every governor swore to uphold forbids discrimination against any citizen of Nigeria. Singling out Igbos or any ethnic group is no longer governance, it’s illegality and a direct affront to the Constitution

Guy whatever conclusion u choose to draw, na your prerogative.

shortgun:
So, what you’re saying is that there’s a state-backed victimization of Igbo people by the Lagos State Government.
Ah, so Lagos has moved from Center of Excellence to Center of Selective Demolition.
Thanks for clearing that up.😏

Dude me I am not Yoruba, I live in Lagos State, as well as Delta State, just as many Igbos have a bias against Yorubas, so many Yorubas have against Igbos.

If u are Igbo & fall victim, & go with your chest out to Alausa to make noise, most likely u will be frustrated in a manner, one would have no option only, but have pity for u.

Lifestone:
I'm not sure if the last paragraph is relevant to Yorubas, we were not in GEJ and Buhari government and heaven did not fall, we were not traumatized, so if by 2027 we lost, heaven will not fall, we will reorganize and come back.
We are not cry cry baby

And the irony, is that they are not losing in 2027.

It is impossible for President Tinubu to lose in 2027.

shortgun:
Exactly what many like you said in the past when the same Lagos state government illegally demolished houses which the courts later reversed and fully compensated victims of the state's lawlessness.
It has happened before and it will happen again.

Not all cases are the same, no matter how similar they may be perceived to be, the Lagos state government has lost so many cases, & have won so many also.

U don’t want to be in the shoes of these persons who their properties were demolished, the Lagos state government will frustrate them, u don’t want to be a victim of Alausa, most especially if u are igbo.

AMI3:
Is that justice works? Who made Simon Ekpa kanu's lieutenant?

Justice is by evidence provide the evidence against him let whole world see his wrongs.

The bandits that killed innocent people and still go ahead to negotiate why is there no justice for the innocent people that they killed?

Please answer that question before any other engagement.
Thank you

The precedence has been set in far away Finland, if Simon Ekpa, Nnamdi Kanu’s self acclaimed lieutenant & discipline is guilty of terrorism against the state of Nigeria, his Oga Nnamdi is equally guilty also.

shortgun:
It's very clear you have limited knowledge on this subject.
See the sections you are quoting, how do they relate?

It is always the ones like yourself that have nothing, that will always purport to make the loudest noise.

Lagos State government, will not give them 1 Naira, & if the Lagos state government catches any of them so called owners near those demolished properties, na police cell for festac town dey go sleep.

AMI3:
Not selective but a bandit was seen negotiated .
Not selected politicians are milking us dry.
Not selective a common man can not find justice in the hands of the elites.
Dey play

If the Finnish government said that his lieutenant Simon Ekpa is guilty of terrorism against the state of Nigeria, how can his oga Nnamdi be innocent?

LagosOrigin:
At this point, the federal government should let go of Nnamdi kanu.. he has done nothing wrong .

But his lieutenant Simon Ekpa that did way less, is serving 5 years in a Finland prison for acts of terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

seunmsg:
Political differences aside, I lend my voice to the call for the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu. This is a position I’ve clamored for since 2024.

Release for him to go home, or release to the hospital for treatment?

Macphenson:
You guys were employed in a Refinery, You started doing Union nonsense. Now you guys have moved from PENGASSN to CEMENTSSN and SUGARSSN

Very funny.

shortgun:
Cry all you want but illegality is illegality. Just like every victim of Lagos state lawlessness in the past got justice at the end. These ones too will definitely get justice with full compensation.

I doubt any Justice will be served or compensation will be received, if they are not careful they will be fined heavily for their illegality, the land use act which is enshrined in section 315(5) &(6) of the constitution 1999 as amended says for overriding public interests, building shops or whatever for personal use on federal land is not for overriding public interests.

aribisala0, Putinofrussia, aswani, lanretoye & Co are correct.
