So how come those names are not championing the Biafran cause?.
Oh I forgot some Igbos are more Igbos than the others.

That's shouldn't be your problems.
Allow igbo nation to decide on that.

m140:
Na cus that war then no collect you,,,, if any igbo state no look like dubai now , wetin your biafra wan become. Dem hold una governor hands to do well,,,, keep deceiving yourself there

That's shouldn't be your headache.

Tell me how you will develop the way you want when you are not in charge of aviation, transport and power.

FG decides the seaport to function.
FG decides which airport to work on.
FG decides what each states gets on power.

Ogun rapid industrial development was because of the power OBJ channeled.

What stops FG from resolving the dispute between EEDC and Geometric which would have given Aba 24hrs electricity to aid their industrial sectors?

If FG is sincere, why did buhari canceled el-rufai recommendation for stare to take over Disco?

What stops FG from establishing regional grid?

OmarEl:
Most you sound Rude before you State your Facts?
OP was only Concerned about the Stagnant Operation of the Cement Factory!




It's high time we learn how to express ourselves without been Sarcastic!

He was never concerned.
My response served him well and was in order.

Iamundisputed:
Ikwerre...my mistake. I have given you something to feed on. Clap for yourself.

You think we are in 70s or 80s that the effects of the Nigeria uncivil war made them deny who they are.
Go to amaechi's page or pat utomi or Peter odili or dakuku peterside and tell any of them that they are not Igbo.
You have no business with igbo clans. You must be a parasite to be afraid of Nigeria dissolution.

Are u a thief? Why do you want to exclude igbo clans from the great igbo nation? It will shock you.

I told your earlier. I have no business with your tribe or what happens to your people. Stop discussing about the great igbo nation. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Iamundisputed:
You just called an Itshekiri man Igbo? Someone with a first name of Yoruba origin? I can see you guys aren't even worth the time. Bye!!!

How old are you? So rotimi chibuike amaechi is an itshekiri man?
You should concentrate on your undergraduate courses/jamb preparation.

Iamundisputed:
And Warri, Calabar, Uyo et al are part of the South East?

Go to the Niger Delta and see how quick they are to dissociate themselves from Igbos. You are living in a mental contraption...

Do you know the percentage of niger delta that is igbo land? What you don't know, you won't know.

Go to elele, Asaba, ahoada or ndoki and tell them that they are not igbo. Go to rotimi chibuike Facebook page and tell him that he is not Igbo. I'm sure you won't come back the same.

Talk about your tribe and stop looking at the great igbo nation that you are not part of.
Why are you afraid of Nigeria dissolution? Unity beggar.

As an igbo man, all I want is a great igbo nation to emerge and nothing else. Ijaw, Efik, ibibio, ogoni and others in old eastern Nigeria can group as they deem fit. I don't want to share a nation with them.

God bless Nnamdi Kanu and his team.

They have done well on this.

It's left for FG to sit up or Nigeria will witness a revolution from the indigenous people been killed in their farms by bandits and herdsmen.

The so called G.Os and CAN have failed the Christians in Nigeria. This has shown that they are only interested in tithe and offering.
God will punish them severely with deadly ailments.

I advice every LG Chairman to organize an armed vigilante numbering not less than 100 per LG where these attacks are prone. These vigilantes should comb all the forest in their territory to make sure no bandits are residing there.
The time to act is now, so as to avoid the anarchy that Is looming.

This killing has to stop. #Enough is enough. #Enough is enough.

This is just the beginning.

Everybody should get their immune booster from a store.
Try As much as possible to consume fruits, ginger, honey, vegetable and vitamin c daily.

This is just the beginning.

Death rate will increase too.

Let's expect the worst mid July.

There is no way there won't be oil in Enugu, Ebonyi, benue, and kogi states.

Is it viable? That's the question.

Okoroawusa:
Why start your statement with abusive words?

Give me your correction n leave it at that. Show that you know better than him. Cure him of his ignorance.

You can see that he doesn't know n even if he was trying to be mischievous let him see that you are a better person n well informed.

Thank you

He didn't seek for knowledge.
My response served him well.

Enugupikin:
I think the Eastern governors should have sold Nkalagu cement factory to Dangote or BUA group.If they did it would have been functional by now and employed lots of Easterners instead of selling it to Ibeto who doesn't have the sagacity to develop it.

What do you all think??

Get lost. Ibeto is building two simultaneously.

It will start production soon. They are through with the upgrade and maintenance.

VirginSearcher:
You have made a solid point but then how do we overcome this problem and which language do we adopt as our lingua franca? we can't continue like this

To overcome that, we should restructure along tribes and create like ten to fifteen units which will include igbo, youroba, hausa/Fulani, tiv, idoma, Ijaw, idoma, urohbo, ibibio/Efik, ogoja/northern crossriver and among other nations.

Those nations/tribes that feel like emerging should be allowed to do so on their own in the case of niger delta, middlebelt and Co.

Thanks.

Jungle justice is bad but our judiciary doesn't help matter.

If this guy is handed to police, he will be released without trials to come and continue from where he stopped.

Just look around, all the bad Boys that were arrested last year are all roaming the street. What do you call that?

Say no to robbery.

chariisGRACE:
In MI's voice "But that would never happen".
This sh*t is a mission to Buhari, and he must accomplish it.

He wont succeed, though blood will flow.

South west have done well with their Regional security outfit. Their governors should empower them with sophiscated arms in preparation to what is looming.

South East and South south governors should do same too. Creation of regional security outfits. We have to be prepared for whatever they are coming with.

Finally, our southern governors should emulate Israel and Koreans. Every young adult must be proficient in handling of arms and self defence. They should introduce "defence mechanism " in our secondary school syllabus.

What PMB and presidency should have done to save this country from religious war is simple.

Let him send a bill to national assembly that will enable each state to have their police formation.
FG has no business with police.

If this is not done, then religious war will erupt in less than five years and this will start from the north central, followed by South East and South south and finally south west in a space of six months.

Those who have ears should listen. The indeginous people are not happy with these invaders. They will have no option than to defend their lands which will lead to anarchy.

PMB and FG should act fast.

The violence in Nigeria could end in genocide – both Christian and Muslim populations need help now

The true cost of the fighting is felt in lives and in hope for Christian communities increasingly dreading extermination, and Muslim communities affected by the vicious Boko Haram
A recent open letter to the G20 leaders – an initiative coordinated by Gordon Brown – underlined the extreme urgency of planning a response to the impact of Covid-19 on nations in the developing world. Limited infrastructure, inadequate healthcare, urban overcrowding and various other factors will undoubtedly increase the death toll from the coronavirus in such circumstances.

But one of the major factors increasing vulnerability is endemic and violent conflict. Displaced populations are obviously going to be at greater risk; people who have lost their homes and livelihoods, often living in crowded and disease-prone environments, will feel the impact heavily.


The fact that Nigeria’s already fragile public health budget is being cut at a time when infection is spiralling has helped to bring into focus the risks developing in many African nations. However, Nigeria’s level of internal conflict is such that we may well expect it to be worse affected than some of its neighbours.

A new report, released on Monday by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, entitled Unfolding Genocide? provides a horrifically detailed picture of how inter-communal violence has spread in the “middle belt” states of Nigeria over the past decade.

While reliable statistics are hard to come by, a conservative estimate of the number of displaced persons is approximately 300,000; last year saw at least 1,000 deaths in the ongoing struggles between farmers and nomadic herdsmen in these states. Readers should be warned: the extreme barbarity of many of the killings, involving rape, mutilation and burning, leaves a scar in the imagination.

The roots of these struggles read like a checklist of the most serious international challenges of our times. Environmental degradation has ruined huge tracts of grazing land and natural resources (the surface area of Lake Chad decreased from 15,000 square miles to less than 1,000 in the last forty years of the 20th century, and the rate of desertification has reduced both grazing and farming land in the Sahel by 80 per cent). Governmental policies on land development have frequently been disastrous in this connection, and policies about managing grazing land and practice have, at best, been inadequate and ineffectual.

Violence in various other countries, not least Libya, has fuelled a substantial illegal arms trade. Political leadership has been remote or corrupt, with a widespread culture of impunity in regard to alleged abuses by government forces. Fake news is rampant and hysterically alarmist; international social media managers have a tiny number of people who have the cultural and linguistic skills to monitor this effectively. Add to this a rapidly increasing population and a rising number of alienated and unemployed young men, and you have enough to guarantee a high level of tension and anger.

But what has made this particularly lethal in Nigeria is the added element of religious rivalry. Nigeria is a nation divided almost 50-50 between Islam and Christianity, with a very slight preponderance of Christianity. As in so many other contexts like the Middle East, a history of slightly uneasy but normally manageable coexistence has been disrupted by the rise of Islamist extremism – often directed, in Nigeria as elsewhere, against other Muslims as well as Christians.

We ignore Islamist terrorism in Africa at our peril.
Who are Boko Haram and how are they funded?
Longstanding protocols for resolving tensions between communities have in many areas been swept away as new populations of nomads and pastoralists with no history of relationship with farming neighbours are driven southwards by environmental change, into what have been predominantly Christian areas, reviving deep-rooted historic anxieties – however wrong-headed – about “Muslim invasion”.

Federal government attempts to regularise or rationalise grazing practice have predictably been seen in some quarters as an aspect of the same agenda, with the fear that they will further reduce land available for cultivation. And while pastoralists can count on substantial profits from increasing sales of cattle – whose price has rocketed in recent years, with spectacularly wealthy cattle barons lavishly subsidising the purchase of up-to-the-minute weaponry for militants – farmers have far less opportunity to generate surplus cash.


These conflicts have so far involved a death toll more than six times that associated with the better-known activities of Boko Haram further north and east in Nigeria. But the rhetoric and methods of Boko Haram and other militant Islamist groups have been borrowed with enthusiasm by some herder militants in middle-belt states such as Jos and Kaduna. Increasingly this is seen on both sides as a campaign to eliminate the Christian farming communities. Attacks on villages involving wholesale massacre are becoming more common; some well-informed observers argue that this conflict is being instrumentalised by Islamist radicals to push the country towards an open religious war.


There have certainly been reprisal attacks by Christians against Muslim herders. However, the numbers strongly suggest that the Christian communities are suffering more acutely, partly because of the adoption of the new radical language and agenda of the Daesh (Isis) franchises in Nigeria. Social media content continues to feed the flames, and there is a lot of pressure for Christian communities to organise their own militias, given the weak or complicit response of government security forces.

The APPG's report pulls no punches; it does not simplify the background factors but shows with exemplary clarity how the manipulation of religious tension is a match thrown into a petrol can in the region. Unchecked, the current patterns of conflict could indeed lead to a genocidal climax.

Yet policies to avoid this are not that hard to identify. Education for nomadic groups is an urgent priority, with access to routine political and social involvement. The National Livestock Transformation Plan devised by the federal government needs to be implemented with full consultation with all interested parties, especially agriculturalists. Existing restrictions on the small arms trade must be enforced.

A joined-up environmental policy needs to be in place, stopping exploitative and irresponsible development of what should be farming land. Not least, professional training and accountability for local police and national or regional security forces is imperative. This is one of several areas where international aid and encouragement should be targeted. And it is essential to identify and support those religious leaders, Muslim and Christian, who have preserved a larger perspective and are willing to risk creating contexts for mediation – and to keep up articulate and honest advocacy with government.

The cost of the middle-belt conflicts to Nigeria runs into billions of dollars, but the true cost is in lives and in hope for Christian communities increasingly dreading extermination, and Muslim communities affected by the vicious apocalyptic fantasies of Daesh and Boko Haram.

This report is essential reading for anyone concerned to understand the multiple vulnerabilities of African nations in our globally interconnected world – anyone who wants to protect civilians.

He doesn't need a degree to be qualified. His school certificate is not even needed.

You are doing your job. You need to defend your boss.

You need to enumerate what Ugwuanyi has done in the 17 local government of enugu state.

I will like you to start in this order.

Igbo etiti.
Isi uzo.
Aniri.
Uzo uwani
Igbo Eze north.
Igbo Eze South.
Agwu.
Ezeagu.
And among others.

Tell us what he has done with regards to roads, education, health and water scheme in the above mentioned LG.

I need to engage you.
This is not time for propoganda.
He has less than 36 months to go.
Tell us what he has done in the past 60 months.

Thanks.

And when captured, they will be reintegrated into the community.

Here comes the question! What will stop other radicals from joining them when they know they will be released if captured?

That's for those joining our forces.
RIP gallant men.

Ugwuanyi is a thief. He has constructed a single dual road of 12km with minor bridges in 5 years.

This is what idiots are praising him for.

Compare what Ugwuanyi achieved with Dave or Obiano achievements and you will see who is a bigger thief. God will punish him for reversing Enugu state development and growth.

Umahi's three interchanges with dual lane of 22km in Abakiliki cost more than all the road projects this dunce did in Enugu.

We talk about education, Dave's school of nursing and EBSU college of medine in uburu defeats all the nonsense they are praising Ugwuanyi for.

Just look at the township stadium at nsukka and the one Dave built in abakiliki. Ugwuanyi is a thief.

Take a look at the Airport going on in Abakiliki and tell us what Ugwuanyi has achieved.

Take a look at the abakiliki international market and abakiliki shopping malls. What has Ugwuanyi done with over 700 billion naira budgeted in the past five years?

Ugwuanyi won't escape prison nor prosecution.

I pity people that attend pentecostal churches.

All those G. O are after their pockets.

These people spoilt Christianity and what it represents.

If it is not catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Apostolic, and methodist I won't attend.

IFNOTGOD:
like someone once said u probably eat from ur parents table or probably one of those people who don't work for their money if not u won't request for a total lockdown.

now ask ur sef, with ur epileptic or next to nothing health care system in Nigeria for d past 3 months is it not enough for d cases in Nigeria to explode.

now few days ago zamfara discharged all 220 patients n yet Ncdc has not recorded dat discharge now ask ursef who is fooling who?

last week one of d state discharge a 100+ yet d Ncdc figures dished out did not capture same or in ur sense is dat an omission?

what is d total isolation centre n their capacity in Lagos n Ogun state?

if we are to go by their information it simply means Lagos should be using more private hospitals, schools n churches as part of its isolation centres.

no one is saying there is no covid 19 but den d figures do not tell d truth, cos Ncdc is up to something, cos dey want to lift interstate on Fri n resume flight next week dey have started dishing out figures to cause panic in d society.

do u know how dis has impacted on d lives of people?

dat u probably own a business centre or barber shop does not mean u pay anybody

It's well.
We will see how it ends.
In the next 28 days, all of you will beg for a total lockdown.

HoliMaree:
Lock down yourself and mind your business. It doesn't concern you what another person chose to do.

Good luck.
I hope you will repeat what you said by the end of this month.
It will be devastating.
Covid-19 is real and fast spreading.

Plead:
You’re a kid.

Thank you elder.

Hope you are fine.

Some of us work from office and we attend to files/reports once in a week.
As you go out daily for your business, contracts and hustle, remember Covid-19 is real.

Secondly, we don't have the capacity and resources to contain this Covid-19 if it explodes. The best option remains total lockdown.

Plead:
Both of you are probably kids still staying with your parents that’s why you guys are suggesting another total lockdown should be implemented. Rubbish.

Can you imagine! Do you know how many staff I have? It's not your fault anyway.

It affected my business but health first. Nobody gets hurt.

Francis95:
Lol Mumu NCDC.
Who believes this shit?

You need to go back to the basic.
The figure is far below the number of cases in Nigeria. We should have a minimum of 250,000 cases if we test massively.

Covid-19 is real.

Confirmedzombie:
Oh my God. Who did we offend. With this massive increase in cases, I dont expect the FG to allow any further movement.

A total lockdown of Two months should be enforced in all states. Everyone to remain inside his house.

People should stock their homes fully and all remain indoors. This is the only way this Pandemic could be defeated.

I call on the FG as a matter of urgency to lockdown the country indefinitely till further notice.

We are in big trouble in Nigeria and the FG lifting all bans and allowing its citizens suffer from this deadly virus.

I condemn it, I condemn it, I condemn it and urge all Nigerians to rise up to their voices and call for an indefinite lockdown till further notice.

Enough is enough now.

I'm with you. There should be 60 days total lockdown. 24 hours imposed Curfew.
FG and states should pay a month salary in advance and lock down this nation after one week.

Lostz:
the Ndokwas, Ukwuani and ikwere always point out they are not Igbo's.

what have you done all these while to Hausa/Fulani? they raped your women, starved you to death and dance python on your land

You are a thief.
Ikwerre, ukwuani and ndokwas did all that because of the civil war that we lost but all that have changed.
The great igbo nation knows why they did that and we have no issue with them. They have come to understand that the war is in the past.

You need to understand who was igbo before the war and after the war. All these denial came after the war.
Thank God, we are matching forward with the same spirit before the war. We are unstoppable.

God bless igbo land.
God bless igbo nation.

Lostz:
why do you Igbo's love to beg other tribes to join you? is it that you can't live alone? that they speak similar language does not mean they want to be with you.

building a country is just more than speaking similar languages that is why the Ndokwas and ukwuani are afraid of joining a country of Igbo's.
no one wants to join greedy people

You people have failed. There is no way you idiots will divide igbo nation again. We are united and moving with one voice irrespective of the states we find ourselves.
Which dirty tribes are we begging to join us? Shift abeg. GA chuwa ego.

Are anioma and other igbo speaking parts of South south now different tribes from igbo? This is why, I call you a thief. Anyway, Asari knows better because he mentioned the igbo clans in the present south south.
Do you care for the video?
It's a pity you "idiots" that have been trying to divide igbo nation is unaware of what is happening in igbo land of recent.

Face your tribe and leave the great igbo nation alone. Okowa has told you that he is unapologetically igbo. Same with Rotimi Amaechi, Dakuku peterside and Peter odili.

God bless igbo land.
God bless igbo nation.

Lostz:
where outside the southeast did python dance? where outside the southeast do you see people observing sit at home?

when you are ready for biafra, you will take your 5 southeast state and leave.

those people are big enough to form their own country. will you guys die if you don't include others in your biafra?

You are a thief. Why are you interested in igbo land? The biggest cities "portharcourt and Asaba" in South south belong to the igbo people and that's your worry.
It's a pity and there is nothing you can do about it.
Why are you interested in Etche, anioma, ahoada, egbema, opopo, bonny, ikwerre, ndoni, ndoki etc that are igbo speaking part of South south?
You should talk more of your tribe and leave igbo nation alone.

You are not an igbo Man and that disqualifies you from discussing igbo nation and her people.
