The first one is made up of people against security personnel for their unlawful killings and extortions just like Robin Hood of Old. They avoid civilian casualties as much as possible and have so far been successful in avoiding civilian casualties.
The second one is made up of political thugs recruited by Nigerian security agencies on behalf of anti Biafra politicians who desperately seek political power in Igboland and see IPOB stance on election boycott as a threat to their ambition. This group kill civilians and to implicate the first group, kills security personnel as cover up.
APC are the ones behind this Political Unknown Gunmen which is different from the real Unknown Gunmen that avoids civilian casualties.
The aim is to cause chaos until 2 things happen;
1) State of Emergency and deployment of military personnel to help rig election.
2) Election boycott is canceled to help pave way for Hope Uzodinma type of supreme court victories all over southern Nigeria starting with SE.
Have I not been vindicated today based on the happenings in the past weeks
Malawian: Blackman will not sit together on a table and discuss partitioning of their country the way white men sat in Berlin. They must fight and kill one another like savages. I am very ashamed of the black man's thinking facilities.
Something is seriously not right with the mindset of the Blackman
I suspect God colored us black to help Him remember that something went wrong during His creation of the black bloodlines
afube: I agree with you wholeheartedly but I have a feeling that IPOB militancy and the extraordinary rendition of MNK ( which I feel he plotted) may have put Ndigbo in the good running for the presidency in 2023. The west will probably never support a full restructuring of The Nigerian federation but they may be willing to apply political plaster aid to the federation.........I see them pushing for a western trained Igbo lackey to take the place of Buhari come 2023 elections...........MNK with the scarce resources available to him is in no doubt the most consequential political figure in Igboland today...............he needs to continue playing hardball but also be pragmatic to take advantage of any political openings.......... Just Like Tinubu used his legions of road transport union workers to occupy and hold political ground in Yorubaland, and Fulani have used so called Nigerian security forces to do the same..........MNK has to dominate and hold the political ground in Igboland no matter whose ox is gored! IPOB must go into politics even if surreptitiously!
Your suspicious is what MNK is actually doing
Using the clamor for Biafra to secure political changes for the Biafrans at National & State levels which is not his calling.
In the end, he will be discarded by the Spirit that stirred him up and will be replaced by another
Ojukwu & Uwazuruike paid dearly for similar actions of which Ojukwu in particular regretted the most for losing focus.
MNK will some day shed tears for losing focus on his calling
PROUDIGBO: You’ve not heard IPOB say they’re a non-violent organisation? If you’re unhappy with their methods, you could start you own separatist organisation and do things the way you suggest!
Remind me again of any country that got independence through talking.?
Remind me again if the US got her independence through talking.?
Don't go and get ready for the final push
Smartless people like you are the ones who do not know that the Fulani terrorists will rather commit mass suicide than allow Biafrans to secede without a fight
kettykin: ANd the same inept and useless security agents cannot arrest the bandits terrorising the president's state , local government area and village and kidnapper's who visit Abuja with mayhem but have the effontery to kidnap Nnamdi kanu from Kenya. Charity begins from the home and not from kenya
You nailed it
Buhari who can not defend his village is whom udele1 is supporting against IPOB
MrMaestro: The West and their imperialism has started again! They’re trying to prevent Ethiopia from industrializing and becoming a world power themselves. With the Renaissance dam that’s near completion, they would be a NET EXPORTER of electricity to neighboring countries, by about 50% of its electricity! They want to keep Ethiopia and Africa DARK as a result. So that people don’t get smarter and start demanding for their OWN natural resources. Instead of giving it to Apple, Microsoft, etc. at such cheap prices to make their computers, tech, and other products for western economies. When Africans realize they are poor because they are not building their OWN Apple, Microsoft, Nestle, etc that is syphoning off Africa’s natural resources for the west, and keeping that wealth for themselves, the west will plummet and likely enter a period of an African centered hegemony they may never be able to recover from.
They are doing to Ethiopia what the west did to DRC, and tried to do to Zimbabwe and other countries. When the EFF in South Africa wins more elections, a party for black South Africans, and when they give the people back their land and Diamond mines, the west will come after South Africa next. I promise you white people are the most wicked people on earth.
Why did Abby's govt violate Ethiopia's constitution that gives room for secession which the Tigray people implemented in their quest for independence.?
afube: Tigray has always been in the opposition and fought the Mengistu government for decades, yes they lost power in an election but the Ethiopian federal government should have dialogued instead of sending forces to kill the tigrayns ...................... Buhari better learn from Ethiopian debacle......forces can align differently in times of war..........Tigray started the war alone but they have Oromo region forces as allies and I suspect Egypt may be aiding them as well.
Egypt supports them because of Egypt's desire to see the ccontruction of the dam over the Nile river in Ethiopia stopped as it threatens Egypt's source of fresh water
CyberWolf: That’s very interesting and it seems their tactic worked because according to the news, thy are closing in on Addis Ababa. I also heard that all goods coming from China by sea to West Africa pass through their territory, is it true?
No
Ethiopia is landlocked by Eritrea.
Somalia is the location that Chinese ships have to move to the Mediterranean Sea through the red sea or to Southern Africa enroute to West Africa through the Indian Ocean before getting to the Atlantic ocean
CyberWolf: Okay that’s interesting.. I never know that Oromo people are also from Ethiopia, that’s me as they’ve really formed a formidable force against the Ethiopian government. Watched the news this morning on Aljazera and came to NL to read more about it but surprised the news isn’t here yet.
Oromos occupy 2 regions
Abby parents are Oromo/Amharic but his paternal side seeks independence from Ethiopia
In short, 2 years ago there was a big riot by the Oromo people the way the Biafrans did months ago before UGM erupted
CyberWolf: That’s interesting but why did they declared independence because I read that they’ve been in power for years but just lost power recently.
They wanted election conducted during Covid 19 but Abby said No which offended the Tigray whom suspected that Abby wants to extend his time in office
So, Tigray declared independence but Abby got angry and invaded Tigray who retreated into the mountains regrouped and struck back the way Biafrans will do very soon against murderous Nigerian military invading Biafra land
CyberWolf: For them to be closing in on Addis Ababa means he should act quick. I read they teamed up with another rebel forces, maybe that’s what is giving them military strength against Ethiopia’s Army.
The Tigray joined force with the Oromo people who are the second largest ethnic group after Amharic people
Oromos want independence
Some day wise ethnic groups will rally with the Biafrans and violently secede from Nigeria IJN Amen.
Awkabigboy: Which govt persecution. The Tigray people are like Nigerian fulanis who just lost out of power and decided to take it by force again,research bro
You are wrong
Tigray declared independence like the Biafrans only for Ethiopia to invade the new nation the way Nigeria is invading Biafra with jihadists Nigerian military
helinues: Perhaps you have not been following the events in Ethiopia.
For Abby to win Peace Nobel Laureate award, he was willing to dialogue with Tigray people but those people think too much of themselves. Probably relying on the obsolete weapons the had when they were in power.
The world leaders are behind Abby cos they have seen his sincerity on this issue
What nonsense are you writing
Tigray people declared independence only for fascist Abby to invade Tigray which ignited the civil war
Same will be the fate of Nigeria if the case of Biafra is not addressed wisely
Truvelisback: I know of someone who has the same mouth odour issue. I have advised the person to paste. Person do paste but the smell still continues. I have been helpless on what to do to help the person too.
He should use powdered charcoal to fill his mouth and sleep with it every night so as to allow the charcoal to help deodorize his mouth
Every morning after brushing, he should fill his mouth with close ulp toothpaste for 1hr before rinsing in order to allow the fluoride to kill the bacteria causing the mouth odor
Islamic scholar Ahmad Gumi warned that such a declaration would come at a price. He scathingly described those pressuring the Muhammadu Buhari administration to equate banditry with terrorism as arm-chair critics and “semi-illiterates and half-baked tribal heroes who have nothing to offer besides promoting tribal xenophobia”. He argued his case so forcefully and with philosophical undertones, not to say searing abuse, that it is hard to see the administration caving in to general pressures to expand its list of terrorist groups in Nigeria.
According to Sheikh Gumi, “…The acts the bandits are committing now in the Northwest have gradually, over time, become tantamount to terrorism because wherever innocent people are fatal victims, it’s pure terrorism. Yet, innocence, these days, is relative. We agreed if their children and women are also killed, they are guilty by association or collateral damage; so also the bandits may think the same way…However, the moment they are termed terrorists – Islamic for that matter – the direct foreign Jihadist movements will set in in force. And many teeming unemployed youths may find it palatable and attractive. Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ plus AK-47 against a ‘secular’ immoral society where impunity reigns are the magnets for extremists and downtrodden – the majority of our youth…”
It is hard to place the argument of the Islamic scholar. On the one hand he agrees that the bandits’ actions are terroristic in nature, and their victims unfortunate collateral damage. But he concludes, despite the logical premise of his argument, that labeling bandits as terrorists was inadvisable and would worsen the attacks. The sole plank of his argument against the reclassification, in fact proper classification, of bandits is that the word terrorism has a magical, seductive and sanguinary impact on the bandits and their vicious trade. Once banditry is described as terrorism, said the scholar, particularly of the Islamic hue, it would serve as a magnet to terror adventurists from everywhere. Sheikh Gumi has a strange mind.
Not only have bandits dissociated themselves from religion, making it known that their animus is against those – particularly Hausa vigilantes and farmers – threatening their existence, they have also subscribed absolutely to no religious objectives. They will be amused that Sheikh Gumi, who has befriended them and offered himself as their intermediary, is investing their largely ethnic and existential struggle with religious colouration. Indeed, they will be bewildered. The scholar abuses everyone who disagrees with his point of view. He claims inalienable right to hold on to his self-serving arguments, but denies the same right to those who disagree with his definitions and aggressive suppositions.
Last Monday too, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State stated unequivocally during the Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) in Abuja that there were no ambiguities in defining what constitutes terrorism. Blowing up railway tracks and bombing communities and massacring farmers and traders are nothing but terrorism, he said. On the same podium was Kaduna State governor Nasir el-Rufai who only recently became converted to the terrorism label after initially appeasing the so-called bandits in the early years of his governorship. He needed the intensification of the attacks and killings to appreciate the terroristic evil constituted by the armed militias claiming to resist genocide against the Fulani. But Sheikh Gumi will not be persuaded. He empathises more with the ‘bandits’ than with the victims. It is not even clear whether wholesale genocide will persuade him to relent in his obtuse classifications.
It is also not clear what scale of attacks ‘bandits’ have to deploy to persuade the federal government that bandits are in fact terrorists. Mallam el-Rufai suggests that a new classification was needed to enable the government go all out against the bandits as well as use all means without running foul of international law. As an aside, what stops the government from using all legitimate means to quash the attacks laying many communities in the Northwest waste? Is Mallam el-Rufai suggesting unrestrained and illegitimate force for a problem that has its roots in socio-economic grievances but has lately become somewhat ethnic, a problem that can in fact be also partially and successfully handled by political means and other economic interventions? What is clear in all the back and forth arguments is the poverty of national leadership. Sheikh Gumi, contrary to the impression he gives, is prejudiced. The dithering federal government is inept and complicit, hiding behind definitional confusion to avoid coming to tactical and nomenclatural grip with the festering problem in the Northwest. And the governors themselves, whose decades-old misrule encouraged the breakdown of law and order in their states, have been criminally negligent and unimaginative in dealing with the nightmare.
Whether it declared ‘bandit’ attacks as terrorism or not, the federal government should have dealt with what was a largely socio-economic problem before it morphed into ethnic conflict. The government should be pressured into living up to its responsibility, a duty it sadly repeatedly disavows when the pressures become intolerable. Alarmingly, Sheikh Gumi is trying to indirectly invest the conflict with religious overtones. They should also not let him. Terrorism is a wave of violent attack, or waves of violent attacks, often to achieve political objectives. Bandits do not have to wave self-determination flags before they qualify to be labeled as terrorists, as the federal government erroneously thinks. Their indiscriminate violence qualifies them. Flags of self-determination, on the other hand, do not constitute terrorism, again as the Nigerian government ignorantly presumes.
Both the administration and Sheikh Gumi will not allow facts, science and truths to inconvenience them. They have chosen not to apply terrorism label against bandits. They are unlikely to shift ground, regardless of the ethnic and religious connotations many disappointed Nigerians read into that failure. The public should, however, pressure their government into dealing with the menace destroying the Northwest, however they choose to do it. They should not hide behind definitional fog to be indifferent to or pull their punches in dealing with the bloodletting going on in the zone. If labeling the menace banditry will salve their conscience, let them embrace that label. What is not an option is to let banditry live on. It is cruel and shortsighted.

You will be called to submit your true details or CBN does it itself.
Often, people make life-mistakes because of their lack of the inner workings of destiny. There is what's called destiny helpers in life, and often they don't come in hue and size we have wish for. Be that as it may, if you pray for actualization of your dreams, like Philip in the Bible, the food might not look holy, but eat for thy Lord has answered thy prayers in ways beyond you. Again, I say, agree.
SILENTandSMART2: Both of your questions are only imaginary, you don't know what future is,
We watch this in movies though it happens sometimes, the fact that you don't know your destiny no need to stress yourself.....
Thinking rationally, all what you stated you imagine it and it can be another way round....
Bitter truth to your question, it's easier for male to say yes , infact 8 out of 10 won't care to marry, but for girls ,if she say yes nah wash , 8 out of 10 girls will say yes to finish her education and move on with another guy , even if the marriage is forced her uninterested attitude will make the marriage collapse within months. ...
Thank you....
Will you as a lady accepts if you find out that the law of Karma is attached to the deal.?
MufasaLion: Why should I make you my partner when you don't even have the qualities I want?
I'd rather come straight with you and tell you that I can't marry you. It's left for you to decide if you wanna still help or not.
Anyways, this is still tricky because I'm the guy that doesn't joke with my life, hence the reason I'm gonna accept her offer but I ain't gonna marry her after making it. I'm only gonna accept it only if that's the only option left in which it's not even possible in today's world.
You lose the job if you fail to keep to the agreement and secondly she has good characters but ugly in your sight.
Halfamilli: Sorry man, my kind of streetistoo rough for y'all to understand. In society that worship nothing but money and only money..... I would say yes to both proposal if I was in the shoe of any of the subject because who cares if I don't I fulfil my part of the deal......
You lose the job if you fail to keep to the agreement.
