o.k. lemme show u this, even within your country u guyz suffer from inferiority complex don't ya?, Yourba's claiming they betta than Igbo's and Igbo's claiming vice versa lol y'all a funny bunch,

as big as Nigeria is, all I see is u bragging with Abuja and tht shows how sad your situation is mahn ,
we can both boast of beautiful places and nasty places in these 2 countries but the fact will be tht Nigeria got more bleeped up places than Ghana without oil after all u guyz are the one's trooping down here innit?

I LUV GHANA, its alwayz fun to play these anago games
this is Abuja too btw and those pix were also abuja

And you still haven't answered my question or ever explained why ur on this site.

dappssee:
I had said it that the amnesty is a tactical end of militancy in the ND region. As far as the FG is concerned, militant activities has ceased in the region and those who brandish weapons will be regarded as criminals.

After the Amnesty program is over then what happens to the ex-militants?

@otumfor

I never got ghana's obsession with nigeria. Why are ghanaians always trying to compare with nigerians? Do you all suffer from inferiority complex? If not why dont you compare with neighboring countries such as Togo or Benin?

Scary

malabite:
Why are people mentioning the Europeans here. The British know that the word tribe is derogatory, they don't use it for themselves and they stopped using it for Nigeria after independence. No British refer to any where/people in Nigeria as tribe, be it BBC or British newspaper, they always used ethnic group. It's Nigerians themselves who refer to themselves as tribes, even in national dailies and television debates.

You must be living on Mars because the british and europeans still 100% do refer to African Nations as tribes. You seriously must be a martian for saying what you just said.

WARRI — A bloody gun duel erupted in the creeks, Wednesday, between regrouped militants and soldiers drawn from the Joint Task Force, JTF, with both sides allegedly suffering casualties suspected to be up to 15.

The battle started at about 2.00 p.m. with some of the JTF gunboats also damaged.
At press time, the JTF had ordered reinforcement and more soldiers drafted to the battle zone, while villagers in a neighbouring Urhobo community to the militant camp were fleeing in droves.

Vanguard learnt that in line with the order of the Ministry of Defence to wipe out new militant camps in the Niger Delta, the JTF deployed soldiers with 12 gunboats.

It was meant to be a surprise attack but the militants who announced the formation of NDLF on Tuesday fought back when the soldiers opened fire.

A source said the militant group fought to retain the new camp.

Their leader, “General” Togo who led his men in the onslaught escaped unhurt.

Details not clear

Details of the gun battle were still not clear, last night. All a senior JTF operative told Vanguard when contacted was: “It was a serious battle, we have casualties on our side, many of our men were injured but we don’t have information yet.”

Sector Commander, JTF, Warri, Col. Jamil Sarhim, was said to have given fresh directive after being briefed by his officers that the militant camp must be destroyed. Efforts by Vanguard to speak to him failed as his mobile phone rang out.

Spokesman for the JTF, Lt.-Col. T. O. Antigha told Vanguard at about 6.40 p.m that he had not got the details of the attack.

Spokesman for the NDLF, “Captain” Mark Anthony, told Vanguard that the soldiers attacked the militant camp unexpectedly yesterday and the few fighters in camp rose up to the occasion and repelled them.

“So many soldiers were killed and others injured. Our intention for setting up a new militant camp was to draw Federal Government’s attention to the fact that some of us who accepted amnesty before were abandoned and that they should dialogue with us, but the JTF came for war.

“Now that they have attacked us, they should be prepared for the real war, we are ready for them. We are not against the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, all we are saying is that they should call a conference of all ex-militants to know how the amnesty programme is going and take necessary steps to correct the deficiencies,” he said.

Claims 3 militants were killed

He claimed about three militants were allegedly killed and the major casualties were on the part of the soldiers.

A villager told Vanguard the army allegedly went in about 14 gunboats to attack the militant camp but were trapped after four hours of gun battle and had to send for reinforcement.

At about 6 pm, Vanguard was reliably informed that soldiers were towing back the damaged gunboat to their base.

Nevertheless, it was gathered that Colonel Sarhim insisted that the camp must be destroyed.

FG deploys more troops

In a related development, more troops were yesterday deployed to the mangrove creeks of Bayelsa State by the Joint Task Force as part of moves to stem the resurgence of militancy in the region.

The noticeable large movement of soldiers to the Yenagoa jetty for onward journey to the creeks is also expected to boost the dwindling confidence of travellers on the troubled waterways due to the recent resurgence of piracy and criminality on the routes.

It would be recalled that some unfortunate commuters on the waterways in the last couple of months have lost their lives while others were raped, maimed and dispossessed of their valuables by pirates operating in the labyrinth of creeks.

The movement of the troops to the creeks, a security source told Vanguard, was to sustain the ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to rid the Niger Delta of criminal elements masquerading as militants.

He said with the granting of amnesty to all illegal arms bearing groups in the region by the Federal Government which also promised to address the problem of development in the Niger Delta, government would not fold its arms and some criminals plunge the region into another orgy of violence.

The source who said the security outfit had the responsibility to nip in the bud all threats of militancy and restore investors’ confidence in the Niger Delta, citing last week’s sacking of a militant camp at Forupa in which incriminating materials and documents were recovered by men of the Joint Task Force.

JTF confirms military operation

However, Coordinator of the Joint Media Campaign Centre of the security outfit, Lt Col Timothy Antigha, had in a statement, Tuesday, confirmed the military operation in the Niger Delta to stem the resurgence of militancy in the region, even as he allayed the fears of the natives.

His words: “You will recall that in the last few weeks, criminal gangs masquerading as militants have been engaging in all atrocities, like kidnapping, sea robbery and illegal boarding of oil production platforms.

“The JTF is currently in an operation to rid the Niger Delta of these criminal elements, in order for the region to experience the needed peace and security which are imperatives for sustainable development.

“All law-abiding indigenes of communities hosting these criminals are advised to remain calm and promptly report suspicious characters to relevant military authorities

The Commander of the JTF, Maj. Gen Charles Omoregie, had last week warned all illegal arms-bearing groups masquerading as militants or emerging militants to retrace their steps or have themselves to blame.

“It must be stressed that lack of development can no longer be given as an excuse for irresponsible behaviour, criminal and treasonable activities in this region, because development and other forms of engagements with Niger Delta interest groups are ongoing and require peace for their sustainability,” he declared.

If you don't accept the death of Biafra in peace, like the Aboki said, they ( Almajiris ) would have to beat it out of ya, AGAIN! You should listen to him! I think he knows what he is talking about.

Hey whatever beef you and the "Almajiri" have it is between you two, don't drag me into it.

Onlytruth:
And you are the GOD to say so?
Your word is law?

This earth is God's, and God removes all people who shed innocent blood.

So my friend, don't talk like God!

Onlytruth, there is nothing they,you, or I can do about it, Biafra is already going to actualize. It's a done deal. This stuff that they are talking is just internet talk.

Gyanosei1:
Giant?

Giant.

Gyanosei1:
Who ever said that, must have been slow. [b]Ghana is indeed the pace setter for Africa [/b]and the shinning light for the rest of Africa. No insult intended. I am just saying it as i see it.

No wonder Africa is at such a slow pace.

alj harem:
i understand that, but i think igbos,yorubas, edo, ijaws etc are starting to mix up quite well, with intermarriges

but the problem is that each group does not like the other to feel superor above each other

it is like 2 brothers fighting for who is older

i know the yorubas and igbos in the usa are a bit of a rivary but the ones in uk and nigeria are mixing quite well (slowlly but surelly)

but on the internet, i think they should try and unite as much as possible for one goal.

the more united they are, the stronger they become, or what do u think

i know if u see me outside we will liklly be friends but on the internet we are enemies because i protect the northern interest 

thank u brother

Of course,This is all internet stuff, most of the people on here i argue with on NL there is no way if they met me in person we wouldn't be kool. But on the internet gotta protect my people's psyche

alj harem:
chyz, in as much as i do not like u, your reasoning here is perfect

i believe southern nigeria should unite for one cause, one believe.

i understand that igbos are individualistic in nature without no king, but that was then. now is time to unite for one cause from yoruba to igbo to ikwerri to edo etc

i mean why keep fighting and not have one cause

what do u think

I agree, i really do but others don't. The taste of greed, power, and high-handedness is too great.

abadaba:
The non Igbo are heterogeneous in nature and without zoning, The Igbo will rule forever. Am Igbo speaking by the way but I want fairness.

But don't u think that we igbos tend to vote for who we believe is good regardless of tribe? For what i've seen amongst the Igbos is even if you're Igbo, if your bad you are bad and if the good good or better person is another ethnicity then so be it we will choose him.

SOURCE?

Mai Suya:
@chyz, you obviously know something that we don't. . .pls suspend the suspense

debosky:
You are not intelligent at all. . . .did the foreign minister of Iran travel to Nigeria over this issue for the fun of it?

Do the statements of the Iranian foreign minister that the arms were indeed shipped to Nigeria mean nothing?

But no, chyz' pea brain is more credible than the comments of the countries involved.

Are you not aware of all of the sanctions that have been put on Iran by the West. Iran has been successful in repelling Western control for a long time now and are falsely made to look like a terrist country. The is a major oil producing area in Iran that the West has been trying all that it can even supplying them with weapons to cede from Iran iand become its own nation or apart of Iraq but they have not been successful. The west has now conquer Iraq which has vast amounts of oil,it would have been a plus for them to have gotten that oil producing area out of the hands oh Ahmadinejad. I believe the place is called Kuzestan.

Nigeria is being drag into this whole propaganda to help paint Iran as a terrorist country and trying to add more sanction on Iran. It's dumb. Wheren't be just labeled a terrosrist country earlier until we bowed down and kissed azz? Nigeria does not need to drag itself into that nonsense. its already a effed up country as it is.

Look at this nonsense article.Can you believe this!Nigerians are funny. Lol :

I agree the word "Tribe" should be banned. Some of us have even discussed the usuage of that word on various thread. It is a word used by Europeans to describe people who think they are subordinates. For instance, African "tribes", Native-American(Indian) "tribes", Arab "tribes". Why is the English, Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, Irish not considered or called tribes since by all actuality they should be according to the definition given by Europeans?

Ileke-IdI:
My post was self-explanatory.

He wasn't being rude about it. All he said was he was banned for trying to post history. It was a spam-bot problem.

PhysicsQED:
What is the meaning of the bolded?

It's a joke my friend laugh laugh. you know people say you people are like a mixture of yoruba and igbo.

Ileke-IdI:
Even tho I have nothing against abagworo, I believe he needs to remain banned until he can respectfully ask to be unbanned.

Ordering and demanding that the mods unban you, and esp coming up with ludicrous excuse like "I was banned because I'm Igbo" is unexceptionally rude.

Until you guys can learn to address the mods, you'll continue to remain banned. imagine how you'd feel if you were a mod dealing with a rude nler. Get used to your new ID, or better start thinking of another one. By the rate you're going, another ban should be expected.

Good job seun and jarus jare.

Ala gbushukwe gi. what do u mean he should stay banned?

PhysicsQED:
Gworo-Aba was banned for spam, not hate. It happened to me too and I'm not Igbo.

Well your Edo so your kind of Igbo.That could have been the reason.
