Dude WTF is wrong with your bigoted self!? So you’re digging for negative news from the south-east to the extent of now posting old news….taking your time to gleefully extract screenshots to upload on nairaland!

You look for negative news from the south-east to post, and when it comes to the south-west, you always look for rosey, positive stuff!

If Ndigbo don’t know by now that they’re sharing the same country with envious and wicked people, then they will never know and continue to let their guard down! With this shocking level of hatred towards Ndigbo, one can begin to understand why the pogrom and other acts of inhumanity against Ndigbo happened and continues to happen today in ‘one Nigeria’!

Nnamdi Kanu campaigned for One Nigeria when PDP was in power. PDP lost and he became a freedom fighter.

Obi is on the ballot now, Una no dey call Nigeria zoo again.

Since some of us think president is about sentiment, so if Tinubu wins, what personal benefits are you going to enjoy ?

There seems to be some political interest in this thing

How come it's only when Buhari APC came to power that sit at home and other security unrest started in the east

The security situation in the Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State appears to be worsening as gunmen have issued a 10-day sit-at-home to mourn in the entire council area.
SaharaReporters gathered that the sit-at-home was to mourn their colleagues killed by security agents in the council area.

In a warning issued by the gunmen, they ordered all residents of the area to desist from going to a popular market, “Eke Ozzi” at Ogrute, the headquarters of the council area or face the wrath of the dreaded group which has been wreaking havoc in the council area. The declaration it was gathered has sent residents into a panic.

The hoodlums were said to have started seizing motorcycles with Nigerian Number Plates and also warned school authorities in the council area to dismantle all Nigerian flags hoisted at all secondary and primary schools in the local government. They equally ordered schools using any uniform which has “green and white” colours on it to change to other colours or face the wrath of the dreaded group.

A resident of the local government area who pleaded for anonymity told SaharaReporters that people are being killed almost on a daily basis at the council area.
He said that the recent sit-at-home order came on the heels of renewed onslaught on their members by operatives of Ebubeagu and Nigerian soldiers which resulted in burning some residential houses of some of their leaders at Imufu, Umuagama and Aguibeje communities in the local government area.

Another resident of the area who equally pleaded for anonymity said, “The trouble started when some politicians in the council area split a group of thugs which they have been using during elections in the local government and trained some of them as Ebubeagu militias.

"The splinter group are now in a supremacy or cult war with the trained Ebubeagu militias in the local government area and that is why there is chaos and insecurity in Igbo-Eze North now. Those fighting are neither members of the Indigenous People of Biafra nor Eastern Security Network," the source explained.

Bothered by the escalating insecurity in the local government area, women who wore black attires protested in the local government area on Friday but some of them were arrested and others dispersed with teargas by the police.

The women were reported as saying "We are angry that we do not have peace in our villages, our state and county. We want our leaders to stop the killings of our children and other loved ones."

Efforts to get reaction of the Enugu State Police Command were unsuccessful as the Command's spokesman DSP Daniel Ndukwe, could not answer his calls.

Support group that aren't upto 30 people

The electoral fortune of the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar suffered at the weekend when 10 support groups defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The groups also pledged support for the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima.

A statement on Saturday by the North-West publicity secretary, Malam Musa Mailafiya Mada and spokesperson, APC North-west Presidential Campaign Council, Mohammed Lawal Shehu Mflash, idenfied the affected groups as: Atiku Support Organisation, PDP Transformation Ambassadors, Atiku Abubakar Kawai, PDP Mobilisers Initiative, Kasa Daya Al’umma Daya, Atiku/Okowo Frontiers Movement, G7 Business Community, Katsina Biyayya Forum, Atiku Women and Youth Initiative and Atiku Nigeria Transformation Ambassadors, among others.

The statement said Zamfara Governor, Bello Matawalle and the APC National Vice Chairman (North West), Salihu Moh Lukman, received the members of the support groups of PDP into the ruling party in the North-west zone in Gusau, Zamafara State Capital.

The statement reads: “Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state in his capacity as the Zonal Coordinator North-West of the Presidential Campaign Council together with APC National Vice Chairman North-west Vice of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Salihu Moh. Lukman spent hours receiving the PDP and Atiku support groups on Friday, November 25, 2022.

“These are groups who were committed to supporting the PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar won the 2023 Presidential elections but was not given the deserved recognition by both the PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar.

“The groups include Atiku Support Organization, PDP Transformation Ambassadors, Atiku Abubakar Kawai, PDP Mobilizers Initiative, Kasa Daya Al’umma Daya, Atiku/Okowo Frontiers Movement, G7 Business Community, Katsina Biyayya Forum, Atiku Women and Youth Initiative and Atiku Nigeria Transformation Ambassadors.

“These are groups that invested heavily in the Atiku project since 2015 but noting that poor relationship with both PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar compelled them to leave both the PDP and its Presidential candidate and declared their support for APC and its Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

The statement further said Matawalle told the decampees that “APC is the only party that uphold to the principles of power rotation, saying the highest justice to be done to the people of the South is to be able to shift power to their region so that justice and equality can be ensured.

“He urged them to uphold the commitment they have exhibited over the years for the victory of the APC and all its candidates at all levels.

He told the defectors Tinubu, APC has mapped out strategic development plans that would help consolidate the existing reforms under President Muhammad Buhari.”

It's pretty clearer now that the Igbos wanted a better Nigeria for all but the corrupt elements in government were so against that back in the days

New York Times bestselling author and Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Florida, Uwem Akpan, has described the ill-fated Biafra Republic declared by late Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1967 as the greatest evil that beset the minorities of Niger Delta.

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a partially recognised secessionist state in West Africa that declared independence from Nigeria and existed from 1967 until 1970.

Its territory consisted of the predominantly Igbo-populated then Eastern Region of Nigeria which is now divided into the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria.

Biafra was established on 30 May 1967 by Ojukwu under his leadership as the governor of the then Eastern region of Nigeria, following a series of ethnic tensions and military coups after Nigerian independence in 1960 that culminated in the 1966 massacres of Igbo people and other Eastern ethnic groups living in northern Nigeria.

The military of Nigeria proceeded to invade Biafra shortly after its secession, resulting in the start of the Nigerian Civil War.

During an interview with Rudolf Okonkwo in 90MinutesAfrica, Professor Akpan argued that the Biafra narrative shaped by most Igbo writers over time was one-sided because it painted the Igbos as innocent victims of the civil war.

He insisted that the minorities were the biggest victims of the crisis as they suffered the brunt from both Nigeria and Biafra.

“In the riots that engulfed the north, at least a third of those killed were minorities. No one tells that story. It is always the Igbos who were killed in the north. The question now is: if both the Igbos and minorities were killed in the north, why were they not able to come back and form Biafra together? This is simply because even before the genocide in the north, the Igbos and the minorities were never together. Though they were all in the Eastern Region, the minorities always feel cheated," Professor Akpan reiterated.

The award-winning author further stated that "the minorities did not want Biafra. The Igbos under Ojukwu went out of their way to block the creation of minority states. They imposed Biafra on minorities. The Ibos were thus engaged in two wars – fighting against big-time Nigeria and fighting against small-time minorities. The minorities were massacred by the Biafrans. A place in Sagbama in Ijaw land even has a festival celebrating the fact that they survived Biafra, and there are few other places like that in minority lands.”

When the interviewer drew the attention of the Professor to the fact that some minorities supported the Biafra Republic, he acknowledged that there would always be individuals within the "colonised" who accept and are part of any "colonisation project".

"Today, almost all Igbos say they want Biafra but have you heard the minorities say they want Biafra? You can mention individuals in the minority who would support Biafra, but there is no groundswell of support like you have in Igbo land. The minorities have not forgotten how they were massacred in Biafra.

"The Western press did not cover the minority villages. In any case, there was some sort of understanding that if the Western press exposed what the Biafran soldiers were doing, Biafra would lose the little support it had," he said.

"In researching for my book, I spoke to a lot of former Biafran soldiers, and they spoke about what they were told to do in minority lands. It was a mess. Biafra was a terrorist state, especially in minority land," the author emphasised.
