Nigeriabiafra80:
As usual igbos will be blame
Yet they can’t allow them stay on their own
Nawaooo
The north that have been killing southerners every little issue starting from cartoon Mohammed till buhari loss in 2011
Maybe shekarau ,is an igbo name
I laugh at people thinking that ipob will divide this country
The division will come from north
We are watching

Just watch some hoodlum hail them because they mentioned igbo ,honestly the hatred is too much

This is why I keep warning most Igbos but they won't hear
* Why would any Igboman wanna be president in this country of hate?
* Why would an Igboman agree to any idea in governance or so?
Leave these people to lead Naija to its nemesis till they're tired

Arrewa:
who are the people that attacked Hausa community in Rivers state??

Who are the people attacking Hausas in obigbo??

Who are the people looting and burning down trailers in the East??
We have not Reciprocated for a very good reason.

We have already held several meetings about the killing of our brothers in the East.

We would respond to the East at the appropriate time!

Mention the trailer looted & burnt with the vehicle no or even a description or pics of it.
You guys are heartless truly
Upon all the drums of blood you've shed in this country you guys won't look inwards but keep accusing others
Same way Buhari went round the West asking them.to stop killing his brothers whom already were killing Yoruba farmers?
You said, "We would respond to the East at the appropriate time"
Like are you serious?
Bros, honestly the people I personally respect most with their ingenuity in this country are the Yorubas, Ijaws, Efiks, etc not the North
Without an alliance of these with you guys, bro what have you been able to do?
Just a section of NE experienced terrorism and the whole world is still contributing to feed them whereas the whole country came against the Igbos for a whole 3yrs but they rebuilt themselves without a single help & you think your threat will work?
First go save your people from BH, bandits and other serious issues before you come for Igbos cos it will be suicidal attacking many troubles from all sides same time

Arrewa:
Boko haram are terrorist killing people in Borno villages not all over 19 Nothern states.

Bandits are killing and kidnapping people in kastina and Kaduna villages not all over the 19 northern state.

Ipob in South are targeting the Hausafulani Muslims killing and burning their properties in the south.

If you people want... Keep defending the evil your brothers are perpetrating against the north.

E go soon be be una like film.

Can we get a proof?
Please mention 1 property of Hausa/Fulani destroyed in the East or by Igbos?
Honestly it is a shame for the NEF to go round doing this whereas Fulani herdsmen has destroyed both people's farms and lives without remorse across the country
Truly the NEF should be ashamed of themselves that more killings has happened in Benue, Taraba, Kaduna, Kano, Borno & Jos as a result of intertribal conflict than anywhere
Just last week over 40 people were murdered at your backyard by your own only for you to loose it on others?
They must be daft

IamWonderful:
Wike said something similar

Now Wike has become a standard for you I hope he remains so for all his words against you and your fellows?

helinues:
Which reaction?

So IGP should allow some miscreants to cause chaos and confusion all in the name of senseless protest?

Shoot at sight awaits any protesters for now... If life don tire una, why not find the nearest lagoo instead of disturbing other Nigerians with senseless protest

Other Nigerians that ain't living in peace?
Being killed daily?
People like you got Nigeria cursed and where it is till date

She's a strong woman honestly
I can only do this with a car
With a motorcycle with the risks, she's soooooo good

Sammy07:
Lol, honestly.
I see many of them writing it like that I don't understand
If the person nah none Yoruba, it's understandable.
But if nah Yoruba, haba nah.

Can I go to the market and tell them I want to buy Kpomo? Doesn't sound well self.

I'll create a thread for it self.

Even as an Igbo guy, I know "p" is Yoruba while "kp" is Igbo
Correct them ooo, na so some of us dey spell our village names with English vowels n consonants

SilverNorGold:
.. This news is worse than the death penalty to wailers..

Watch them invade this thread with: "it's a lie!", "lie Mohammed", "propaganda!", "story", etc..

Trust me, these wailers are not just pathetic, they're evil. Yesterday made me realize this truth.. I was having a discussion with one of my neighbors, Nnamdi, yesterday when he told me something that shocked me so greatly. He said that if God should ask him to kill his father, mother, brothers and sisters as the only condition to make President Buhari to resign, that he would accept. I asked him why, he said because Buhari is a devoted Muslim and he doesn't like him naturally.

Of course, his reasons were nonsense to warrant such a deathly and heartless fate for his own family. Guys, that was why I ended our relationship cos he might murder me one day for having a different opinion.

I just hope our Nairaland Buhari's haters are not like that else, e no go good.. May God help us all.

NL just have so many mad people commenting today.
Nnamdi will have his family dead just to see PMB resign?
Are you ok?
No news from FG has been credible from pre-election till now; $1=N1 to BH technically defeated.
I mean what's true about this govt?

ThatFairGuy1:
[/s]
Someone that bought State shares IN HIS FAMILY NAME right?

Source?
Which of the state shares so I'll clear your doubt?
Guy, Obi understands what it means to invest. He bought shares for Anambra State at AB InBev & other businesses
Bros you don't know Obi well

360degreess:
Go out and protest if you have the mind.#ENDSARS equals Looting, crisis,chaos, thuggery, killings etc.No reasonable government in any part of the world will fold it hand and allow such nonsense..

Werey, but they will allow killings of innocent citizens day-in-day-out?
That Shekau will openly claim to have killed more than 43?
You must be mad

You're seriously daft
I am ashamed of the fact that you're Igbo and doing this shit
If this isn't sarcasm.then you must be sick

Mouth Gig:
HIM TU LIE, MR CHINA









STINGY THIEF

You know you're daft right?
Even as a former governor, Obi has not missed any of his tax payments in all his fixed assets in Anambra
He's the only Gov, financial scandals never got to after he stepped down

Cyberterror:
Even with all the insecurity in the north, it still has better infrastructure than the south. The east was a kidnap haven during the regime of Jonathan. This too shall pass.

Mad man let out from a rehab
East a kidnap haven?
Wetin concern East for the volume of blood wasted in the North over a century now?
From the days of Usman Dan Fodio conquests through religious killings due to burning of Koran in Denmark, Kidnap cases on Abuja-Lokoja road & Lagos-Benin road by herdsmen to Boko Haram & bandits
Oga, make Una keep Una awards to unaself and leave the East out of this
Blood is being wasted in huge volumes and indices of standard growth ever in the decline in the North while you claim gibberish?

Kyase:
You think say zulum no know wetin e dey do?
Even Buhari knows what's happening in the North
Buhari has successfully disbanded/destroyed BOko Haram in 2017.
What you are seeing now is not boko haram, they only recruit their fighters for this new mission, just wait and see towards the end of his tenure........

O boi, most if not all of you are so deluded; Buhari indeed destroyed BH
So, you're openly accessing PMB of knowing what exactly is going on and he's recruited new pawns who waste blood on his behalf?
(We dey see you)
Helinues says Zulum that has truly been fighting against the BH course, taking risks for his people should resign but Shettima of pre-2015 shouldn't resign, it was GEJ whom was clueless and incompetent?

Rubbish
So na my SE better the SW people own?
Oga every damn state in this shithole is bleeding profusely

byinks:
But the agenda of both UN and CNN is clear... they're expecting a bloodbath in Nigeria in the nearest future

If 43 isn't a bloodbath to you, I won't know whatelse will ever get your eyes to bleed again
Una hearts has been turned hard by this crazy environs

Kyase:
UN don join the bad gan
They want to set Nigeria ablaze like they did Libya

All you supporters of vampires are all mad
Is Naija not on fire like this?
How many deaths in October & November?
Ain't BH tactically defeated again but traditional leaders up North ain't safe anymore?
You defenders of rubbish should be ashamed of Una worthless brains

majamajic:
And people will still come and say there was no shooting , why not visit these named hospitals and make enquiries ?

People like NGpatriot & kestolove -hater
They will have same fate

Agbegbaorogboye:
It is in this context. Buhari or his media handlers rather always justify the continued stay of Buratai and monguno by the fact that they come from the most affected areas in Borno state and thus know the terrain well enough.
I'm sure you'll agree if the same reasoning was to be applied by the allied forces, they'll require a German or Japanese who "knows the terrain" to lead the forces.
A closer one will be to say the commander of the federalist forces during the US civil war had to be from the south or from the East in the case of Nigerian civil war.

Oh, sorry bro
I get you now, your contextual use is highly appropriate
Forgive my aproko head

Agbegbaorogboye:
The highest Buhari can do is to have them replaced. But he can't due to his paranoia and lust for personal loyalty above competence.
Shame on him.

And why brandish their states as if it's a precursor to being effective in those posts? You see that's the problem we have in Nigeria when we become selectively blind to the duplicity of our leaders. The GMD of NNPC is also from same Borno or, has always been since the start of this administration. Is Borno an oil producing state? Is Buhari telling us no one from the East or West for that matter can do a wonderful job in those positions except indigenes of that state? The second world war commander for the allied forces Dwight Eisenhower was neither Japanese nor German yet he was very effective in that role.
Maybe Buhari should borrow some ideas from the playbook of that period if he can muster enough strength and presence of mind to read.

You captured it rightly bro, very apt
Nepotism is the #1 reason Naija remains here
However Dwight Eisenhower was a US officer who led the allied troops(the allied troops included US, UK, Canada, etc.) against Hitler's dictatorship (German & Japanese alliance) so this analogy isn't appropriate
(Humbly correcting bro)

NGpatriot & co make Una come defend oga as usual

sammy329:

So, now the soldiers were actually there, no more photoshopped videos?
So, they fired live shots?
So, they didn't give protesters water?
So, CCTV cameras were on afterall?
May you and your generations be treated by GOD & humans same way the soldiers & NGA govt treated the Lekki toll protesters

Inasmuch as I don't see this entirely wrong, my issue with it is why then threaten to sue twitter CEO, block accounts of #endsars protesters, arrest some & restrict some for same thing you did?

https://peoplesgazette.com/exclusive-bank-documents-expose-how-dangote-wired-funds-to-npas-bala-usman-during-general-elections/

Hadiza Bala Usman did not play an open role in the 2015 campaign, but her share of the election spoils has been rapid and significant.

AHMED OLUWASANJO • NOVEMBER 27, 2020

In the heat of the 2015 general elections, Aliko Dangote transferred N200 million to a bank account run by Hadiza Bala Usman, a BringBackOurGirls activist who has been the managing director of Nigerian Ports Authority since 2016.

The transactions were sent in two tranches from two different bank accounts of the Africa’s richest man to Ms. Bala Usman’s account with Access Bank, financial records seen by Peoples Gazette said.

Ms. Bala Usman received the first N100 million transfer on February 6, 2015; while the second N100 million came through three days later on February 9. The transfers carried ambiguous descriptions that made it difficult to conclude their purpose.

Since November 3, neither Mr. Dangote nor Ms. Bala Usman clarified the purpose of the transactions to the Gazette despite multiple requests for comments. Mr. Dangote’s spokesman Tony Chiejina declined to confirm or deny his principal’s initiated the transfers.

But Ms. Bala Usman pointedly denied knowledge of the transactions to the Gazette, despite being told of the date, amount and the specific bank account with which the funds were received.

“I am not aware of any such payments made to my account,” Ms. Bala Usman told the Gazette. She declined to elaborate.

BringBackOurGirls or BringBackBuhari?

Even though Mr. Dangote and Ms. Bala Usman declined to clarify the transactions, at least two sources close to the APC campaign told the Gazette that the N200 million was part of the campaign donations channelled to the opposition campaign through proxies like Ms. Bala Usman.



Ms. Bala Usman largely restricted herself from partisan politics during the 2015 elections. She was widely known at the time as a key voice in the #BringBackOurGirls campaign — for which she was profiled by the Financial Times and other Western media outlets.

President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari
Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s former military ruler, was seeking a return to power in the election that was initially scheduled for February 14, 2015. But when the exercise was postponed on February 8, Mr. Buhari’s allies flooded the country with claims that the then-ruling PDP was trying to starve them of funds.

The APC was reported to have exhausted its campaign war chest before the elections were extended for another six weeks until March 28.

The APC was, however, able to sustain the campaign until its victory on March 28, buoyed by alarming rates of insecurity, ineptitude and corruption that characterised the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

“She played a helpful role during the campaign through the backdoor,” a senior party official in APC Lagos chapter told the Gazette. “She received money towards Nasir El-Rufai‘s campaign and, by extension, the Buhari-Osinbajo campaign.”

Our sources said Ms. Bala Usman’s rapid rise through political ranks — first as chief of staff to Mr. El-Rufai in Kaduna and later as MD of NPA — was largely as a result of her political mobilisation for the then-opposition party.

“Those who have been grumbling that she was handed a juicy position like NPA even when she did not campaign with us have a minimal understanding of the role she played in 2015,” another APC source in Abuja told the Gazette this week.

Ms. Bala Usman’s account also reflected multiple transfers to other APC players, including Balarabe Abbas Lawal, Mr. El-Rufai’s cabinet secretary.



At least nine transactions worth nearly N400 million went to Mr. Lawal during the 2015 elections.

No hiding place

Mr. Dangote himself has long endured allegations of oiling his vast industrial empire by keeping friends with people with policymakers and potential policymakers.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Dangote was widely criticised after his company received a special waiver to export its product through Nigeria’s land borders, which have been closed to all companies since August 2019.

Atedo Peterside, founder of Stanbic IBTC, criticised the government’s action as unsustainable, saying it could have a negative impact on the nation’s economy.

But the billionaire has largely brushed off the allegations, especially because evidence of his involvement in partisan politics and finance has rarely been published.

While both Mr. Dangote and Ms. Bala Usman have rights to engage in partisan politics with their time and resources, their status in the society demands that such activities should be disclosed, according to anti-corruption campaigner Halima Abdullahi.

“Personally, both of them can support anybody they like in their individual capacity,” Ms. Abdullahi said from London. “But they should be transparent with it.”



Ms. Abdullahi said Mr. Dangote was amongst a group of supposedly non-partisan statesmen who prevailed on Mr. Jonathan to concede the election in 2015 to Mr. Buhari, which made the Gazette findings “even more damning in the general context of Nigeria’s democratic experience.”

Ms. Bala Usman was known worldwide as a #BringBackOurGirls campaigner, but it now appeared as though her actual intention was to return Mr. Buhari to power 30 years after he was ousted in a military coup, the London-based activist said.

“If you paid attention, you would see that the Buhari government has been treating #EndSARS campaigners as opposition,” Ms. Abdullahi said. “It is because of people like Hadiza who have undermined genuine activism for partisan political gains, allowing politicians to keep tagging every civil movement as an opposition.”

“If we want governments in Nigeria and other African countries to stop seeing activists as undercover political operatives, then it has to start with getting honest people to occupy the civic space,” Ms. Abdullahi said. “But those who continue to hijack meaningful causes to advance personal agenda should also know that, ultimately, there would be no hiding place.”

Standing5:
Just psyching up his party's stronghold.

The reason given here applies far more to Hausa's than Igbo's. They supply food which is essential part of life. Cut out oil money and they will be feeding but Igbo's will say customer no grew come o.

Cut out oil money from govt, Bros the average Northerner will have serious issues, that's the reality
Cut out FG support my guy it won't be easy oooo
You say for Igbos dem.go.say customer no gree come, right?
So the food Hausas sell aren't to customers?
You'd say food is essential right?
Bros the world has evolved that I can bet you some people will rather buy data or even common cloth to trend on IG & starve for weeks telling you the essentials for living have changed over time

Badonasty:
lol....if only Igbo people could use all these energy to develop their homeland it would have been more better

If only you knew the truth you'll know they've done well at this too
Imagine the billions donated/spent on the NE during GEJ & now just to feed & support the NE due to the BH crisis.
Now imagine another region was bombarded for 3good yrs by federal power backed by UK-US alliance & other world powers then, after which they were handed 20 currency bill each(NB: I'm not against this entirely, maybe cos we engaged the war) & hardly with any support from the FG till date.
I'm from Anambra & over 30yrs old but the 1st FG project I know was built in my state by OBJ in 2004 or so (Onitsha-Owerri expressway & rural water projects) & the road is still ok till date; reason why alot of Onitsha-dwellers love OBJ.
Imagine we grade our roads in the villages in Anambra. I used to stay somewhere in Lagos 3yrs ago where the street road was bad, it took me till I left there pleading with fellow dwellers to contribute money & do the roads cos they never imagined what we readily do in the east.
Bros, no Nigerian region has been bombarded like the East, it's prime educated population died in the war but today from Primary to University level you can tell the story yourself
In all indexes of growth the SE is either average or at the top
Are we not supposed to be the lowest since we rebuilt our region with no help?
However, we Igbos need to do more in our states, with a seaport at Onitsha & railways linking other parts of the country you'd see more

Kestolove:
People like invectus obi

Lol

2by40ft:
Crap
Headquarters of baby factories

Yes oooo
No be today dem dey call us Easterners HQ of baby factory
And yes you're not wrong, if we're shamed enough we'll stop it in our region.
I agree with you
But you see this issue of bloodshed up North, they must stop it

Nbotee:
Is it dat U have issues with basic comprehension or Ur problem is with English as a language? Stop embarassing urself becos it is very clear U do not understand their post. Seriously U lots are jus pathetic. How many times have the govt who "gave authentic figures" changed their story? First d govt and army claimed dey weren't at d toll gate and den d army and govt were in denial as to who invited who and den dey were there but didnt open fire and den dey did open fire but with rubber bullets and now dey went there with live ammunition

If you knew this op here on NL you wouldn't have tried to reason with him, the guy is a walking dead man I tell you
He is filled with half-truths just to make a point
The issue with this tweet isn't that CNN is trying to deny the no of deaths but the source of their info which was Amnesty international but op in his bid to cover govt's atrocity pushes it to mean people didn't die
In Nigeria patriotism is now loyalty to a govt than truth
This op will never tell you govt denied every single word they said from being there to shootings to blanks to no one died after Sanwolu saw atleast 2deaths himself
The op is a wayward retard supporting all possible evil & quiet a heartless being
Human beings like him were shot at for saying they'll do exactly what PMB & co did in Lagos; just imagine that 2 escorts at 2 different instances this wéek alone killed about 2 innocent people.
The protest wasn't against govt but like op the heartless govt don't have their priorities right
I pity Sanwolu whom atleast presented the case to PMB who openly laughed at it, what else can the Gov do?
Yes Kanu should be charged with his words but they won't tell you about Adeyinka Grandson
They won't tell you that all caught guys who stole police ammunitions were not from other regions
They don't know that the Yoruba youths won't buy this rubbish, they're wiser
Don't mind this op

powerkey:
I believe the Mods haven't seen the level of ABU's on this thread by this fellow abusing and threatening other tribes.

Violation of rule 2 and 3.

Let's see if Nairaland supports abuse of other tribes by Yoruba's here..

But the guy you quoted only responded naaaa so why should mods ban him?
I am Igbo & I don't support injustice
All of you are redirecting this thread instead of focusing on the foolishness of the post; a mud building of over 50yrs above the life of a youth

And of all these pains you have about the building(that should have been brought down before now) you missed the dead bikeman shot by the security man for not tipping him?
I keep saying it, one is wise until they become politically inclined to most Nigerian govts

Kestolove:
Buhari is d saviour of south east, he has help dem more than jesus

I just hope you won't start up another killing spree if Mohammed is mentioned?
