Why all this tears
I thought Buhari was dead?

Nobody is sure and it is dangerous to try and prove it because the law protects the president.

Secondly, Mr President is in full control of the Army, national assembly and the judiciary. He have absolute power after God in Nigeria. Only God can remove him

It is very clear that Mr. President dot in a circle statement was to portray people from the Southeast as insignificant people. However Mr President made great mistake in selection of words and I blame his advisers for not educating Mr President on use of words during national broadcast.

Although some may argue that the Southeast will be enclosed and cannot have access to the coast. However, that should not be an issue because we have many countries in the world that do not have access to the sea.

What then is the problem. What I believe that Mr President meant by dot in a circle is that he is scared of the igbo leaving Nigeria because he believes once they leave Nigeria will not stand.

Dots are extremely important in our everyday life because of the following
1. The circle cannot exist without a dot.
2. In mathematics you cannot draw a circle without using your compass to create a dot in the center
3. In computer images are represented by dots called pixel. Without this dots you cannot do anything with your system.

The basic fact about this is that without the dot, there will be no computer and hence no technology. The circle, Nigeria cannot survive without the dot.

The dot is actually very small but the most important part of the circle, computer, technology and development.

Indirectly Mr President is saying that southeast cannot go because of benefits it is giving to the entire Nigeria. That is why Mr. President didn't show any aggression against ISWAP during that time because he is more concerned about holding Southeast Nigeria captive.

This is a modern time slavery system I will called 9jaColonialism.

System202:
Your opinion is usless it will end here in nairaland, it can change nothing and southeast governors are usless governing the DOT pigs

As for the dot in a circle
It is a well known fact that

1. The circle cannot exist without a dot.
2. In mathematics you cannot draw a circle without using your compass to create a dot in the center
3. In computer images are represented by dots called pixel. Without this dots you cannot do anything with your system.

What this means is that Mr. President is confessing indirectly that without the igbo he cannot survive.

That also explains why the CGN have been having sleepless nights in issues that doesn't concern them

System202:
Your opinion is usless it will end here in nairaland, it can change nothing and southeast governors are usless governing the DOT pigs

In a civilized society, some of the things happening in Nigeria will never happen. Even the termites have a better government. Nigeria is really a zoo.

System202:
Your opinion is usless it will end here in nairaland, it can change nothing and southeast governors are usless governing the DOT pigs

As far as I am concerned, it might not change anything because the current regime is a banana republic that the Southeast people call zoo. It is indeed a zoo.

It is extremely very funny that the CNG have decided to poke their nose in things that doesn't concern them.

Their fight against the Southeast Governors over the security outfits exposes the fact that the CNG are the bandits that have been killing innocent citizens in the South East. They don't want to be exposed.

According to the name of the group, Coalition of the Northern Group I wonder why they have been having sleepless night over the Southeast while the north is on fire. Kidnapping is almost a daily occurrence in the north. They should learn how to remove the log in their own eyes so they can see clearly to remove the speck from their brother eye.

This shows that CNG do not care about his own people as they have never made a statement over the problems in the north the way they do for the Southeast people

Amotekun is there in the South West, why did they not attack it as well.

The southeast governor's have the constitutional duties to protect the lives of his people. I actually don't know why the governor are delaying deployment of the security outfit which is their constitutional duty to the people since FG have refused to protect lives and properties by introducing a better policing system. If I am a politician I will not delay the process further.

This is just my opinion.

The CNG must be responsible for the banditry in Nigeria. That is why they don't want the South East governor's to protect his people. Amotekun is already operational in South West. So I don't see any point in there baseless accusation

congrat to those that shouted sai baba in 2015. I hope u are enjoying yourself. However those currently feeding on the national cake would not see anything wrong

It is still terrible. For more than 5 years FG could not return the naira back to how it was before they took over power. I will be extremely happy with the government if they could do that or make our currency better than that

Casmir Ibegbulem, an oil worker who was arrested and detained by the Imo State Police Command, after a raid for unknown gunmen, has narrated his ordeal in detention, saying the police locked him up in an underground cell and demanded N10 million as his bail. Ibegbulem, who was labelled and paraded as an Eastern Security Network (ESN) gunman and member of the Indigenous People of Biafra, did audio after his release, narrating how the army waylaid him, transferred him to the police who then brought all of them to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where they were locked up in an underground cell.

SaharaReporters on June 3 reported that the 40-year-old oil worker and father of one, who was wrongly raided and paraded as one of the unknown gunmen, had been released after this newspaper reported about him and others.

Ibegbulem is a “Permit Holder” staff of an oil company at Bonny Island in Bayelsa State and a native of Ogwa Community in Mbaitoli, Imo State.

He had returned to Imo State for the burial of his in-law, which was to take place on May 28 but was arrested in Owerri on May 25 when he came to pick up some personal items needed for the burial.

Police patrol personnel had pounced on him at gunpoint and arrested him.

“He was paraded same evening alongside four others. Ibegbulem is married to Onyekachi who is seven months pregnant,” SaharaReporters had exposed in its report.

In the audio he did after his release, Ibegbulem narrated his sordid ordeal in the hands of the police.

He said, “With little or no investigation when they raided us, they tied me and others and drove straight to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Owerri. We were beaten and molested, with our phones off and no sort of communication to any loved ones.

“Two days later, we were asked to enter a vehicle, and it was after we crossed Onitsha, that they told us we were being transferred to Abuja. Immediately we landed in Abuja, we were sent to an underground prison.

“While there, I was scared and hopeless, hoping that a miracle would happen. Later the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) in charge of my file, summoned me and told me my case was a serious IPOB case, more like a kidnapping case. He asked me if my people could afford to pay N10 million as bail. I insisted I would not pay.

“I was bargaining for N800,000. On the second afternoon, I was fortunate to come across my uncle – a military officer who came around to the police headquarters in Abuja. He was shocked because he wasn't expecting anybody, due to the lapse in communication.

“That was how they worked out my bail. On the next day, I wrote a statement for the first time and I was granted bail.”

A report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, a civil society and research group, had detailed how the police and the army raided South-East residents and labelled them as IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra) and ESN members.

“In all these, we have received over 100 phone calls and messages from members of the public testifying in favour of the abducted and slain citizens named above. Intersociety hereby calls on the Nigeria Police Force and Nigerian Army to immediately and unconditionally release all the citizens arrested illegally.

“We urge them to desist from the perpetration of frame-ups and trumped-up allegations or charges, abductions and disappearances, extrajudicial killings and other forms of genocidal operations going on in the South-East,” Intersociety had said.

This man is lucky. Some where killed and others have no newspaper to write about them. Many that the police claimed that they killed as ESN members do not know where ESN usually hold their meeting. Their offense is that they are igbos

na wa ooo

I am surprised. However he will soon be retired compulsory because of his tribe. Let us wait for few more years.

However I see a problem. The military might be trying to use him against his own people. After military bombing of perhaps innocent civilians, he will have to deliver a speech to declare the incident as normal. It is wish he resigns now. If he wait for genocide to occur he will have to say whatsoever he was told to say or face putiny. (I don't really know much about military laws) If I am the person I will thank them and resign

Rissimenky:


Only a slave like you cares about some unknown private entity in the US creating some stupid list based on their fake, biased criteria.

Look at America. They've had 8,000 gun deaths this year so far.

Annual rate is around 40,000 a year.

That's like 50 Boko Harams operating at once!

The US has had an incredible 270 mass shootings so far this year:

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/12/us/us-mass-shootings/index.html

Police brutality, institutional racism, mass shootings, drug-fuelled gang violence, an Opioid overdose casualty rate of 70,000 per annum.

Oh, and they also invade more nations, export more weapons, and build more nuclear weapons than any other nation, hastening the demise of humanity.

But I'm sure they rank really high on the list of ''best governed countries''.

Rubbish.

Even if the US had 2 billion shootings, etc. One fact is that the US listens to the cry of its people. Not like Nigeria that is sympathetic to herdsmen attack.

2. The US will not allow a takeover of territory of Boko haram. They will go in and neutralize the terrorist silently without bombing civilians. Nigeria is fund of accidental release of bomb. The other time it was IDP camp. Recently it is wedding ceremony.

US will not shift blame to previous administration for its own errors

US will not make policies that will cripple the development of its people.

US will not hold people by force against their will. They will never tell you you must be a us citizens by force.

The fact that ISWAP overpowered Boko Haram in a single day without air strike is a MIGHTY disgrace to the Nigerian Armed force. A feat that the armed forces could not do for years with jets. It exposes the UNWILLINGNESS of the armed force's to protecting the territory of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The least is unending and continues. Let us call a spade a spade and stop beating about the bush

Thank you Mr. President. However you are not in the position to determine for the people. Since you are sure of this why not try and let Biafra have its referendum. You have nothing to loose. You will still be the president of Nigeria

thebosstrevor1:
Many of them died yesterday

What you don't understand is that death doesn't stop determined people. Did the killing of Nigeria soldiers stop people from joining the army? No. Many died before man was able to land on the moon. Death didn't stop them. The sad thing is that we have very terrible leaders that don't know how to solve conflict. Solution was easy to implement but could be late as a lot of people are already tired of Nigeria. The only people that are not tired are those eating national cake

Good roadmap for a great nation. However, I don't expect everyone to be happy on this roadmap. I will just advice other nationalities to take advantage and build their nation because once referendum comes and they did not prepare they might be entangled with the Fulani for live. Learn from other nations

helinues:
I wish Biafrans all the best..

But make una follow the proper way of referendum biko..

There is no referendum in Nigeria law. There is no right way of obtaining referendum in Nigeria. So the only way is by force. Nigeria loves holding people against their will.

For sure Biafra will become a reality oneday. It might tarry but it will be a reality

Anytime you see airforce jet, pray hard against accidental discharge. Very funny

PrinceOfLagos:
If ESN take them out now, Buhari will send soldiers .

Do we still have president in this country or a terrorist terrorising the peace and unity of Nigeria.

Buhari should be the last fulani man that will ever rule this country .

You're wrong. However, I wish you could be right. Mr president have the nation in his pocket. Nigerians have been sold already with the help of some foolish elite both from d Yoruba and igbo lineage. Fulani will always rule Nigeria until either God stops them supernaturally or the people fight the war they have been scared of fighting

I just came across this interview from Punch where one of the pro Buhari group confessed that she came out to support Buhari because of 1000 naira.
I am shocked because what it means is that if the same person is promised 1000 naira to kill his/her relative, they will do it.

This exposes the terrible state of the present day Nigeria.

https://punchng.com/video-we-were-promised-1000-naira-to-support-buhari-pro-buhari-protesters/

I will give you 3 simple answers:
1. SE people will be blamed for trying to destroy Lagos

2. SE wants to leave Nigeria for Buhari and form their own country. They are not interested in removing Mr President from office

3. SE are afraid that after the whole thing the Yorubas will join the Fulani to attack them

TheGoodJoe:


The only way to win this struggle is for the Igbos and yorubas to set aside their differences and fight for freedom.

Yes that is true. But SE people have learnt a lot from history. When SE want to fight they go all out for it.

The Yoruba are fund of withdrawal in the face of threat even among themselves. That happened during the war and we see it happening even within the Yoruba communities.

I have seen cases where everyone will agree to do a particular thing and when it is time for action you will discover that you are alone. If you ask person A, he will deny he was not there at all. However, we have some brave Yoruba people. But they're not much.

Very soon I expect people in Nairaland to start blaming the igbo people for this current protest as they did during endSARS protest. They will claim it is the igbo that lead the protest to destroy Lagos. You will start seeing a lot of hate talk against the igbo.

It is wise for the igbo to be quiet because they would be blamed at the end of the day

Yes, there's calm in SE. The title of the protest is not interesting to an average SE. SE people don't like Mr president, but care more for call of referendum which they believe is a better solution. However some members of SE eating the national cake will disagree with this idea.

This protest is seen as a good thing. The Yoruba people are trying to correct the wrong election of 2015.

Secondly, any protest in the SE is an instant massacre because soldiers will fire live ammunition and clean up the area.

They will be labeled IPOB even if they were not members.

To be honest SE is under serious military suppression. Mr president is more interested in suppressing the people in SE than fighting insurgency in the Northeast of Nigeria.

okonyia:
This is really serious. The question now is is this the democracy ?

We were never in democracy. Democracy died after 2015 election. To be honest with you no human being in flesh can remove president Buhari. No demonstration can remove him as well. If he wishes to elongate his tenure he would do that and the Senate and judiciary will surport him against their will.

World leaders cannot stop him. The protest will only expose his tyranny. However if protest continues indefinitely despite the tyranny, his administration will face a lot of pressure that might force him out of office. But Nigerians do not have the liver to continue protesting even in face of genocide. All Mr President need to do is repeat the Lekki Experience and protest will end.

Unless Nigerian are matured to protest even beyond a massacre more terrifying than that of Lekki, the way it is done in middle East and developed country, Nigeria will never be free of tyranny.

We have very few options
1. continue protesting in the face of massacre. Nigerian are not matured for this and this is very unlikely to happen

2. Wait for election to vote out APC. That is if the person was not killed by herdsmen before election. However that election is not likely to be be free and fair.

3. Pray for God to remove Mr. President. God might reconsider. I am not sure if He will. God gave us wonderful opportunity during 2015 election and we threw it away. Mr president is here to teach us lesson as a group of nations. However God is merciful and can decide to leave him there or change him.

Show of shame. Common Boko haram you couldn't overpower for years. ISWAP overpowered Boko Haram in a day. You only know how to flex your muscles on unarmed civilians. Go get an opponent of your own size

Tinubuadvocate:
I'm happy to hear that from igbo people they must started behaving themselves henceforth.

The igbo people here are tired of Nigeria. They want referendum instead of Buhari's must go

From studies, the igbo would not join the June 12 protest because that protest will keep them in "the zoo called Nigeria".

What d igbo man want is leave Nigeria. So it will not go well if they carry out their threat against the igbo because no igbo man will go against the protest. Rather than the igbo attacking protesters they will join the protest. There is no reason why IPOB will attack protesters. From studies so far IPOB attack only the government and the military.

Banmeallday:


They say he has died since and imposters are there with mask and the likes.

While that may sound truthful or foolish to some, the fact that there has been 0 live interviews or press conferences in nearly 2 years means that the person that we knew as Buhari is no more.

COAS died and he being a former General in a time of wide spread insecurity could not even attend funeral or speak publicly is another nail....

Even the Vice is not ALLOWED to speak to press because of course, they go ask him say Wetin do your OGA.....

Nigg Area Corporation at its finest

Whoa, this is serious. It is extremely dangerous for anyone to try to prove this. The only people that can help check this are the immediate family of Mr. President. However, I don't see that happening. Nigeria is in the paw of Mr President. He can crush whoever he wishes to crush at will and it will end up as Lekki Massacre. Only the Almighty can save Nigeria from Mr President paws

BigSarah:
This won't change anything, Worse happened before the Rise Of igboho... I'm sure the SW are making underground moves to ensure minimal chaos...
Wish others could follow this route, ensure minimal chaos

It seems that you people do not know what you are dealing with. Let us watch whether minimum choas will pay off
