Good and the EU is presently deliberating in the future of Biafra.

xest:
If this is wat he said,then Indeed he has foresight. The presidency is quiet abt the activities of this idiots. Gradually dey r growing wings sprouting from all nooks and cranny. Only God almighty wil save us.

I can personally confirm all those words. To be honest, NK said many things that are now coming to pass, including the failure of this govt in lifting the economy. Believe it or not, we are just as one foot away from a civil war just as he predicted that Somalia will be a paradise compared to Nigeria.

No gunmen did it. This was done by Fulani herdsmen!

capricon:
I'm more disappointed with the people of Enugu state.

No you don't need to be... In all honesty, these Enugu people couldn't have done any better, they were taking unawares, imagine invading a community by 3 am, what do you expect them to do by that time? This carnage was done with full impramatur of the president, and as such the community fell for this dastardly act. What we should be considering now is how to stop further acts from occurring. We should try to be vigilant at all times.

Whatever thing they are planning I tell you IPOB is always one step ahead. Are you aware that tomorrow the EU commission will be discussing Nnamdi Kanus incarceration and Biafran referendum? Are you also aware that IPOB will be holding a peaceful protest at the eu headquarters tomorrow? Are you also aware that this Enugu massacre happened at a time ICC IS in Nigeria? So at least ICC will be seeing first hand the nuisance Nigerian govt has turned itself to. To be honest, IPOB has nothing to fear, Buhari has already been exposed, we are only being patient and strategic, very soon the results will become clearer.

I know thousands of igbos who called Kanu names and forsook IPOB and it's ideology, many of them are silently regretting and others have come out to denounce buahri. I tell you Buhari is drawing more resentments to himself and unifying the igbos more than ever before. I love what is happening.

Bawsse:
I'm Igbo and #IStandWithBuhari

But if buhari cannot stand against his people killing my people, buhari I'm sorry, I'm igbo first, Nigerian second..

No no no, you should keep standing with Buhari, it will very soon get to your community, maybe by den you will not only be standing with Buhari, but you will also be sleeping with buhari.

Very true! In fact Buhari has surpassed the untenable records of Abraham Lincoln. His body language alone has fixed all he problems in Nigeria. Who knows, by the time he finishes his first term Americans will be struggling for refugee status in Nigeria.

Hagm0nd:
So the villagers knew they were to be attacked and they cant organise vigilante and arm themselves
imagine fulani telling the communities that their land belong to them for grazing,raping women and many more
and the slowpoke of a governor could only talk about prayer and fasting
this is what ipob should arise and confront not insulting yorubas
unless they are a bunch of cowards

To be honest, I know you're a Yoruba, but I think you made a point. We ndigbo, should realize that we really need to stand to the excesses of these herdsmen, otherwise we will not have any place to call home. It is high time we get started and become more proactive and serious. I stand for everything IPOB AND MASSOB stand for, but I'm sick and tired of all these internet rants. We just need to get serious!

Beremx:
President Muhammadu Buhari gives me reasons every time why i regretted voting and campaigning for him.

just imagine him not taking national issues seriously. I am so angry right now.


nobody should just quote me!!

Sorry for breaking your instructions.

One thing I want you to know is that life is a learning process, it's nEver too late to learn something. Also, I want u to always look at the both sides of a coin before making any decision. Some of us know Buhari too well, and we were warning people against this man, but people like you on the other side of the isle ignored us completely without any consideration and voted for Buhari. Well, we are just seeing the results, and don't even think for a moment that things are somehow going to get better, to be honest it will get worst.

Jonathan wasn't perfect, but he sure as hell was better than Buhari, like I said you shouldn't light your hair on fire over your decisions, you should just learn from them and move on. One of my uncles campaigned vigorously for Buhari, including spending his own money, I tell you since January the guy has been in pains. Just see this as a lesson and think thoroughly before making any decision/s.

PapaBrowne:
My take is this:

Its time for us to wake up and decide a clear cut strategy to protect ourselves.

Rather than rant on social media, we need real strategies. Anybody waiting on a Buhari's protection is wasting his time.
The perpertuators are on a well calculated genocidal mission. And you know what, they have a clear cut strategy. And they are working hard and fast at it. What they are currently doing is testing the will of southerners. They've done it in the middle belt, nothing stops them from doing it down south.

Rather than rant on social media, we have to start discussing real ways to protect these villages.

Over 600 years ago, the Binis built a Moat around the city to protect itself from invaders. Isn't it a shame that in this era of technology, we(not Government, but we the people)can't even come up with a simple strategy to confront this menace as well as protect ourselves??


A few things we can start today>

Operation Boycott Beef.
Everyday you eat beef, you are putting funds in the hands of the genocidal perpetrators to buy ammunition to kill your people. If 10 Million southerners boycott beef, even if for the next 3 months, the cattle industry will feel the bite immensely and the leadership would be forced to act.
This is the simplest most impactful action that can deal a healthy blow to the murderous gang of herdsmen.


Design a Defense & Response Strategy for each and every Village.

As an Igbo guy my heart is filled with heaviness over this incident. But, like you rightly said, I believe it is better to die fighting than to die for nothing. I honestly believe our people should bein immediately to form armed brigades and deal ruthlessly with any invader. I can confirm to you that this will not be the last we've heard of this type of incident. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Signed!

Ekweremadu is a strong politician. It will be fool hardy for tinibu to think he can remove Saraki and install his stooge, in a senate with the likes of David Mark, Goodswill Akpabio, etc. it is most predictable that if Saraki looses the SP position (which by the way is MOST UNLIKELY) then undoubtedly Ekweremadu will emerge the new SP.

Op, this your story get as it be! Oooh!

Nonsense! Everybody now wants to associate with IPOB, well I don't blame the old man, he's seeing relevance.

Nonsense! this is just nuance twisting by FG. What is the difference between securing a loan and securing a fund for infrastructural devt. Won't the funds be paid back, either in cash or kind? Or is the fund a dash/gift, well, they have got gullible fellows who they can deceive at will.

TB Joshua warned about these things, some of us begged Buhari to have a rethink over his actions, but unfortunately we were talking to a statue. The coming weeks and months will be very interesting. BUT please, what I want to beg intelligent minds ( not zombies) is to always remember to place the blame accurately. Most people do not know that Jonathan saved Nigeria from disintegration by his selfless humility, yet we ridiculed him, now we have Saul in our midst who will out of arrogance and incompetence lead this country to doom. Well, like I will always beg - remember to place the blame rightly, don't blame anybody for your own mistakes.

Uduak2019:
Guyman02, compujyde, RevDesm0ndJuju, three posters I consider very knowledgeable in global affairs, neocolonialism, come and explain to us why the sudden shift of support for Buhari from the West. We are seeing more pro IPOB statements lately from ICC, Amnesty International, now EU, e.t.c., accusation of human rights abuses and violations, discovery of secret graves, unjust incarceration and silence of opponents, resurgence in missing Chigbok Girls in the media and more. Lets hear your analysis, what do you think will be happening in the next few months?

My brother everything happens in the fullness of time. What Nigeria is passing through isn't unexpected to enlightened minds. We warned about it and some people called us pacifists. When Buhari was shooting people with such reckless abandon, those cheering were his fellow nomads who do not understand the consequences of what their oga was doing. The reactions of the EU and USA are not unexpected, and don't ever SAY that it is because of the loan deal with China, after all Obassanjo signed a rail road deal of over $8 billion with the Chinese, though that didn't materialize, Jonathan also did a lot of business with the Chinese. Afterall, It was not EU or USA that asked/commanded buhari to shoot at innocent protesters.

My problem with some Zombies is that they blame everybody but Buhari, but thankfully no matter how much we try to deflect blame from buahri a time of reckoning is approaching fast. Don't ever think Nnamdi Kanu is stupid, some of us with some grain of brain, have been asking why is Nnamdi Kanu so bold in his countenance, now you have the answer!

There is even an Igbo woman acting as a judge in ICC.

HER name is Chilue Osuji. We will be contacting her...

poseidon12:
But for now, it seems you zombies are scared.
I have not noticed the usual chest beating.

What people don't even know is that Buhari has been under ICC investigation since 2011 for the post election violence. Now he has both the Shias and IPOB case hanging over his head. In fact the eight cases are all for the dullard.

dabossman:
Thankfully, a few people here still have brains. ICC visits Nigeria and all of a suddenly the majority on this thread assume that it is all about human rights violations carried out during the present administration. Some people obviously don't know how long our list of human rights violation is from the days of the invasion of Odi and Zaki Biam to this present day (and I didn't even mention the military era). If in doubt, just ask Transparency International. No one knows where the axe might fall, if it eventually does? OBJ? GEJ? PMB? IBB? Who knows? Yet some folks are here getting ahead of themselves. I dey laugh.

Stop consoling yourself. There is a different between ICC and TI. ICC just as any court prosecutes offense brought before it. They don't rely on Media trial, instead a plaintiff must bring a plea against the defendant before the ICC, and this has never happened since the history of NIGERIA except now during the dullards rule. The other guys you mentioned Ibb, OBJ, can't be prosecuted because their crimes predates the birh of ICC. ICC can only prosecute crimes committed from 2003 onwards.

cosmo84:
Thank you very much. Most people don't seem to know that the majority of cases filed at the ICC do not end up being prosecuted by it. People quickly rejoice on hearing that their favorite has filed a case against the another. Mttcchheeww.

Nonsense, you didn't go through my post and as usual you jumped thinking I was exonerating Buhari. Far from it, I'm stating the facts in unequivocal terms that Buhari will be indicted, get used to that.

mykl01:
And by the time we start making pencils, Russia will quake! Nigeria is going somewhere, Sai Baba!
Wailers ICC Will not stop our pencils from hitting the international market

Are you being sarcastic?

LemonBoy1:
Brother i understand what you mean and i fear the worst. But what if Nigeria decides to resign her membership to the ICC body? i believe not all countries can be subjected to ICC?

Noooh, it doesn't work like that. He alleged crime was committed during Nigerias membership in the ICC, so even if you resign now the case will still go on. You should ask why didn't Laurent gbabgo or Bemba the president of CAR pull his country out of ICC, when it was clear they were goin to jail. Just Like ICC will not prosecute a case earlier than 2001 before its inception. And that is why scene like Gowon cannot be prosecuted for the civil war or even Obasanjo for the odi massacre.

Keneking:
I am observing ThisDay and Vanguard on their news reportage covering Nigeria.

I am.observing and watching

What happened to their news reportage. Aren't they reporting real events?

TkesterA:
@ Castrogee,

This is not a case of hyper use of force, but a case of war crimes committed against civilian population. That is what IPOB and Shias are claiming. Hyper use of force would be an application of undue force leading to injuries and destruction of property and not to killings of over 500 civilian population.

All the same I can't wait to see bubu dragged by the balls to face ICC.

Yeah, you are right. Things might get ugly real quick. To be honest I cant find any honest justification to the crimes committed by this administration against innocent civilians. But what Buhari didn't understand is that we live in an age and time where information flies like nothing. People were taking pictures and videos of all his atrocities while he was busy perpetuating them. Well, only time will tell.

nnachukz:
Jokers, adhering to high professional standard and protecting human right my foot. The Hague woman should not mind that joker. She should investigate Shiites killings, IPOB protesters killings and many others as quick as possible. Somebody needs to be dragged by his testicle to Hague to answer for his sins against humanity.

People don't even understand how the ICC works. It is a court that prosecutes crimes that fall within its jurisdiction, crimes such as: Rape, murder, massacre, destruction of a civilian society by any means, etc. They have professional judges. The prosecutor's team will first investigate the case submitted by the plaintiff to ascertain if the case falls within the court's jurisdiction and also to ascertain if the case should go on owing to the fact that some cases may be minor or trivial, like an unintentional killing of a civilian society. For example, if the police in trying to quell a riot accidentally kills people, though the ICC has the jurisdiction over such matter but they may not go on to prosecute the case, because such is the tragedy of our every day lives and in this case ICC will only issue a directive to the relevant organ or authority responsible to be more reasonable in their actions next time to avoid such human casualties.

All these go down during the ICC preliminary investigation, the preliminary investigation is conducted to ascertain if the case can go on to the next level which is now the full investigation of the various evidences rallied by the plaintiff against the defendant, needless to say that at this moment the ICC is almost certain that the case will go on, i.e the prosecutor is almost certain that he is ready to prosecute.

Unfortunately, this is where Nigeria is right now. The coming of the ICC prosecutor, the chief prosecutor for that matter is to signal to the Nigerian authority that the result of there preliminary investigation indicts them (Nigeria), and they will go into full investigation and also to intimate the Nigerian government to be ready for the investigation because certain govt officials will need to be examined. Now, IPOB is claiming to be in possession of forensic evidence against the Nigerian army i.e. evidence that shows that the bullets used against arm-less protesters indeed came from the Nigerian military (and this is scary), coupled with video evidence. This is the reason why the army is sweating to brand IPOB a terror group. But the truth is that you don't just label a group terrorists without strong evidence of their ties to destruction and untamed violence and evidence to show that they have carried out such crimes like ISIS is doing now. For Goodness sake the Nigerian govt should know that they are appearing before a panel of judges, learned and experienced judges for that matter that understand the terrain and they want to present these baseless charges before them?

Predictably, some of us saw this thing coming, and raised alarm, but Buhair being a dullard thought everything about power is fiat. he ordered his COAS to use hyper force on unarmed protesters, because he is buhari, well I wish him good luck. Now IPOB has said they will resume their protests once they get their TV station running, the implication is that this time they could hold the protests for the time they want without harassment because the world is now paying attention. I believe this shouldn't have gotten to this level had Buhari not been reckless with his decision. Over 8 cases have been established against Nigeria in the ICC, I told a friend of mine that the next battle ground in the world is Nigeria. Its unfortunate that it is only in Africa that you see unarmed protesters been shot with such reckless abandon, and yet Africa will claim to be unfairly treated by the west.

For those who don't know the prosecutor.

Here is a video of her. Buhari has just succeeded in shooting himself on the leg.

Story!

Fleshly:
WOW!!!

Tkester, who is this guy Missy89 that you just shredded him to pieces?

Nice write up you have there. But, please tune down the insults, it is too much.

Mehn, that write-up is classical. I have not seen any such personal attack on nairaland, since I started with Nairaland. The guy must be Trump in the making, A good example of a demagogue.

But all in all we shouldn't be too personal on opinions on nairaland.

Appleyard:
I agree with you completely, but as things stand now, if and only if the UAE and the house of Sauds make good their intensions, then Putin and Russia must be prepared for the task ahead. As Syria has promise to treat such deployment as occupied forces, the likelihood of a major escalation of events is in the offing, and should that happens, Russia would definitely be caught in the mix, for which she must defend Syria and her own assets, given the proximity entailing the certainty of a direct showdown between Syrian armed forces, Hezbollah and Iranian troops on one hand, against the Saudi, UAE and would be other troops on the other hand.

Putin must be prepared to walk the long road.

Is a point of no return.

Appleyard,

I'm not really a fan of Russia, but I'm a big fan of the vladimorivich Putin! I've studied Putin for many years, in fact I'm a graduate of putinism studies, in the Putinist department, lol. Jokes aside, I believe that Putin MUST have calculated all possible consequences of his action in Syria and must have developed appropriate responses to them, before venturing into Syria. Look how much he he been able to achieve within a little time despite all the doomsday prediction from the west, including even Trump who predicted that Russia will get bogged down in Syria, now tell me who is wrong?

Truth is, that the west and her politicians are still learners in this chess game, they need a 5 year lecture for them to catch up with the Vladimorivich! Sometimes, when I want to have a good laugh I tune into some western channels to hear their suggestions about Putin, and believe me whenever I do that, I always have the best laugh of my life.

When I begin to hear things like Putin wants to re-establish the Soviet, I do fall off my chair laughing, because while the west is still hallucinating about a possible restablishment of the soviet by Vladimorivich, he is actually doing that, in fact he is even developing a new world order that suits his fancy... Which honestly I believe that his new world order will be better than the existing world order.

mayorkyzo:
So you have spies in enemy territory and you announcing it to the world ...ode'...

That's a strategy. Don't you know that it will make Isis to kill all the Chechen terrorists in its fold, and that will somehow free Russia of terrorists.
