Trump had already prepared for this, that's why he barricaded white house, and added extra security

The real loser here are the Republican that handed over their Political structure to Trump

The local democratic party activists with their appointed judges are doing everything to deny the Trump the presidency but they will fail. The idiotic liberals are very hard to turn US into a backwater. They behave like Africans. Nobody continues balloting when the polls are closed. In some places, the counting of ballot has been stop to be continued another day a scenario of backwardness in country such as US.

Pennsylvania will be the deciding factor...

Winning Georgia will tip the coin in favour of Biden nonetheless.

He has 244 votes secured.

Georgia is 16.
Pennsylvania is 20

Trump is currently leading in Georgia and Pennsylvania with around 102k and 695k votes respectively.

Pennsylvania mail in votes could potentially generate extra 700k votes for Biden.

What do you think?

You are a biased onlooker. How many potential extra votes will Pennsylvania mail-in vote generates for Trump? Nigerians show sign of insincerity at any slightest of chance.

Igbos using their hand to destroy sympathy one has for them

You can freaking shove your sympathy where Sun light does not reach. Who gives a ratass about sympathy from bunch of goons who forbearers had once taken up arms to kill fellow country men and women whose only crime was to sue for independence. Is Rivers State the only state in shithole called Nigeria where #EndSars protesters damaged few properties? Why would any sane person hide under the guise of IPOB to kill innocent people of Obigbo LGA? Whatever happens now is irrelevant because Wike, the Bini fool, and his Obio\Akpor clan are moving targets.

The people from southeastern Nigeria are very wise people. They appreciate anybody who had the gut to develop his\her country. Trump typifies such a person who wants his country first before any other country. I wish Nigeria will have someone who has such patriotic zeal as Trump to think Nigeria first before any other thing.

But u know the politics of then, that involves changing names of Igbo places. The real name of oyigbo is obigbo but it was changed to obigbo to reflect the state it was been zoned to.

Our argument to Ogoni people claiming oyigbo satin oyigbo means my friend, we ask them what does Ogoni mean in Ogoni language them no fit answer till today

It was the same foolish claim some idiotic Ogoni peeps put up for Eleme. Until the Ogoni miscreants were told the Eleme does not have any ancestral linkage with people from Akwapim-Togo region. Ogoni could as well claim Iriebe.

The site which someone archived the document is no longer working if not I would have posted it here.

The people of ndoki/asa are divided into 3 one set are in rivers state, one set is in akwa ibom d largest is in rivers state.

Back then their was nothing like geopolitical zone all the states were under eastern region so the people doing the boundary adjustment saw nothing wrong with zoning oyigbo to rivers in order to mark the territory between rivers and old IMO state present day abia. It was opposed but nothing could be done.

Obigbo was put under I think whether khana or bori LGA, the reason ogoni people are trying to lay claim to it is that back then based on the war and creation of rivers state plus ignorance and illiteracy being rampant they did not believe their were Igbo's in rivers state not to talk of sharing same LGA with them, since oyigbo was under khana/bori they believed oyigbo was part of their land, it was the creartion of oyigbo LGA that adjusted it. But some people are still he'll bent on ignorance

As of 1977, Khana was not a LGA. Bori LGA comprised Gokana (Bori), Khana, Obigbo, Tia and Eleme. The northern regional elites gave in to the change of name from Obigbo to Oyigbo in order to suck the fools dry of crude oil. Even the dumbass fool named Sara Wiwa was commissioner for education in Rivers State yet his two younger brothers were in high school in East Central State before the spilt of state in 1976.

Obigbo has absolutely nothing in relation to Ogoni. Obigbo and Ogoni have never been in the same province talk less related. I was born and raised in the vicinity of Obigbo. When Ogoni was in Calabar province with Opu obu (Opobo), Obigbo was under Owerri province. Even Opobo later agitated being in Calabar province and later moved into Owerri province under Ahoada Division along with Port Harcourt. As of 1975, Obigbo was under Ukwa LGA which was formerly Asa County Council. My father represent Ipu South constituency in Asa County Council in 1965. The original Eze of Obigbo now domiciled in Owaza due to ceding of Obigbo to Rivers State in 1976 vehemently opposed joining of Obigbo with Rivers State under Bori LGA.

Concerning the issues in/at Oyigbo


It has come to our notice that certain persons without good intention are promoting false narratives of events.

miscreants trying to control the narrative against the interest of Rivers State with false narratives and ethnic colored Propaganda


They stoked a war, started a fight they didn't have a strategy on how to finish, when challenged with the consequences of their ill-planned actions, they then begin to throw accusations around.



Go and check the record, Rivers have always had an unfriendly posture with Police and army throughout Wike's tenure.

IPOB made Oyigbo, Rivers a security threat by inviting outside forces to the region and when things go aflame, they begin to cry aloof, Wike this, Wike that.

Cross over to Abia and begin to kill armies and then summon Ikpeazu to summon the navy to fight the army.

I'll educated miscreants.

It has become glaring that some ethic jingoistic of the SE extraction has been brandishing false narratives of events that occurred. And claiming all sorts of nonsense.

If you can't abide by the laws of any land you feel isn't homeland, go home. Return home and go and be lawless there. Nuisance


You want Eungu preserved by all means but want Rivers to burn.


Foolish things. We won't allow you control the narrative with your so called " blessedness" that people want you down because they have fear for you.


There are more igbos in PH, than in Oyigbo. They are not been killed.


We won't tell you to stop the false information peddling, but will tell you to return to where you call home and feel safe at home and go and be completely lawless there and see if the consequences of lawlessness won't reach you regardless of location.


Miscreants


#TruthSeekers



False narratives when people with a situation to depict an entire event which as intelligent people should know isn't always as portrayed.


Condolences to the bereaved. Utmost respect to the dead and we must never allow the dead go to the grave without grieving with the mourning. We will however not let this hijacked by persons who have I'll societal objectives.


No


No one is happy about the deaths of youths, male or female. However, we must promote file narrative of events


IPOB must be held responsible for the deaths in Oyigbo. It's IPOB


From the above junk, it is fair to say the poster immensely contributed to the fact Nigeria is tagged as shithole. Does the poster understand denotation of the ward, start? It is a fact Nigeria had 36 states and #EndSars protest was not limited to Rivers State. Lagos, Anambra and Enugu States experienced more of the brunt of #EndSars protest than Rivers State yet these states did not change the narrative of #EndSars protest to IPOB miscreants.

The poster of the above crap have idiotically alluded to start of Nigeria\Biafra war. There is no doubt Nigeria did not work hard enough on its educational system hence the poster seemed to be ignorance of the meaning of start. Even a dunce could have done better than the poster of above rubbish by discerning that Biafra was not even given 6 months of existence in order to think of starting a war. I bet my last cent that if Biafra was given 6 months of existentialism, Nigeria\Biafra war would have been avoided. In 1967, Nigeria was led by hoard of ignoramuses such as the poster of above carp therefore could not even reason through their anus if given entire century to do so.

It is beyond the cluelessness of a dunce to remotely fathom IPOB should be blamed for #EndSars saga talk less of Obigbo massacre orchestrated by a dumbass Bini fool in Wike who parades himself as governor.

IPOB or not, it is a display of utmost imbecility for a mere governor of state out of the 36 states in Nigeria to hide behind Nigerian army to kill the people of Obigbo.

Wike is not the only governor in Nigeria and Rivers State is not the only state in Nigeria where #EndSars protesters caused damages. One wonders why Wike singled out IPOB and Obigbo as the originators of #EndSars saga. This is not the first time Wike has blamed any cult activity in Rivers State on IPOB. Wike cannot be the governor of Rivers State forever and it is pure idiotic on the part of Wike to hide behind Nigerian military power to commit genocidal assaults on the people of Obigbo LGA in particular and Ndigbo in general. Wike and his people of Obio\Akpor LGA will never escape the retribution of this idiotic act.

Nigeriabiafra80:


THE "TERRORISTS" OF IPOB

I watched my brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's interview with my brother Chief Dele Momodu on Thursday evening and I was inspired and encouraged.

Nnamdi spoke with such eloquence, passion, courage and strength. He is brilliant and irrepressible. He cannot be underestimated or ignored.

Every African should listen to that interview. He cleared a lot of misconceptions about himself and made his position clear on so many issues.

Most important of all is the fact that he had the decency and humility to tender his regrets and apologies where he may have got things wrong. That is the mark of a great leader.

I have loved and trusted him dearly ever since the first day we met and spoke for 3 hours when we were both incarcerated at Kuje prison in 2016.

From the first minute we got on like a house on fire and we have been close ever since. There is nothing that binds men together more than being locked up together in prison or being on the battlefield together and fighting side by side and shoulder to shoulder against a common enemy.

The truth is that Nnamdi is not just a friend but a brother. We do not agree on everything but we agree on many things and the fact that we can tell each other the blunt and bitter truth whenever we feel either of us has gone wrong is the source and strength of our relationship.

Most importantly we stand as a moderating influence on one another both in our public and private affairs and trust me when I tell you that this man is a stabilising force, a good family man and a peacemaker.

Yet whatever anyone chooses to say or feel about him the truth is that he won millions of new friends and supporters after that interview from all over the country.

I thank Dele for giving this great man the opportunity to express himself to the Nigerian people on a mainstream platform such as his which has a massive reach.

After listening to the discussion I was prompted to meditate and ponder on how IPOB is wrongly perceived by many Nigerians and to write the following. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride.

[/b]You call members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) terrorists yet you refuse to bring to justice those that have slaughtered or illegally detained and incarcerated 30,000 of their members in the last 5 years.

This number was given to me by Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, IPOB's lawyer, whose home and community in Orifite, Anambra state was also attacked, burnt down and plundered whilst many of his people were slaughtered in a joint operation by the Nigerian military and police in a matter of hours. [b]

I was there to spend the day with him and mourn the loss of his brother on a Sunday and the tanks rolled in on Monday morning just a few hours after I left!

When Ifeanyi called me early in the morning to say that they were under attack, that his house and his late brothers house had been burnt to the ground, that his elderly mother had been beaten to a pulp, that the Church building that I had given a speech in the day before had been pulled down and destroyed and that many of his people had been killed for no just cause, tears rolled down my cheeks.

Had he not fled for his life and gone into hiding Ifeanyi himself would have been killed on that day.



Any group of people that have been subjected to that kind of barbarism from the Nigerian state would have resorted to an open armed struggle by now but Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB have refused to do so.

Their struggle and quest for Biafran independence has remained relatively peaceful despite the provocation from the Nigerian state and the massive persecution they have been subjected to for 5 years.

Now tell me between IPOB and the Nigerian state who are the real terrorists? Who has done the killing? Who has terrorised? Who has spilled the blood of the innocent? Who has operated unlawfully and committed genocide and crimes against humanity?

Who has sponsored and protected the Fulani herdsmen and refused to curb and condemn their barbaric activities or declare them as a terrorist organisation?

Who has been soft on ISWA and Boko Haram and released and reintegrated thousands of their members into our Armed Forces even after they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of defenceless Nigerians, including women and children?

[/b]Who has unleashed their troops and security forces on their own people and killed thousands of their own citizens? Who has crushed and destroyed the lives and families of the innocent?

Who has burnt down Churches, slaughtered priests at the alter and who has sacked, pillaged, levelled, captured and renamed towns and whole communities?

Who has seized the land of farmers and raped their wives and children, butchered Christians and Shia Muslims and slaughtered thousands in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina and the core North.

Who has hacked to pieces thousands in Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Benue and murdered protesting children in Mushin and at the Lekki Toll Gate?

Was it IPOB or members, associates and friends of the Buhari regime and those they encourage and protect? [b]

I am not a man of violence and I do not support the use of arms. Where anyone or group of persons, including IPOB, involves themselves in violence I am the first to condemn it.

I despise those that shed innocent blood and those that unleash mayhem, havoc and tyranny on innocent people.

Yet the bitter truth is that those that have done more of this than anyone else in this country over the last 5 years are the Federal Government and their friends, associates and allies and not IPOB, OPC, YOLICOM, MASSOB, YWC, Yourba Summit Group, MEND, NDVF, IYC, the Lower Niger Congress or any of the other regional or self-determination groups.

I am not a coward and neither am I chicken-hearted. Truth is my sword and the Lord is my shield and armour. I fear nothing and nobody other than God.

It is for this reason that I refuse to be cowed or browbeaten into joining the gullible and ignorant herd of lily-livered cheerleaders who take pleasure in attacking and demonising the victims of the state like IPOB instead of condemning the unbelievable cruelty and crushing wickedness that has been unleashed upon them by agents of the state.

And the only reason they do this is because IPOB has not been given adequate fair hearing in the nations media or the public space to explain and defend themselves or tell their own side of the story to the Nigerian people.

The bitter truth is that more than any other group in this country over the last five years IPOB have been misepresented, villified, attacked, demonised and subjected to the greatest and most horrendous form of misrepresentation and negative propaganda. If anyone is attacked in the south or any police station burnt, according to our media, it must be IPOB.

Thousands of their members are in cells all over the country as we speak and yet no-one speaks for them, no one cares for them and no one empathises with them. This is unacceptable. This is inhuman. This is unfair. This is unjust. This is evil.

Worse still to compare IPOB to Boko Haram, ISWA or the Fulani herdsmen is like comparing Little Red Riding Hood to the hungry and ravenous wolf or like comparing Mother Theresa to Jack the Ripper: it simply does not make sense.

Some have alleged that IPOB youths committed acts of violence throughout the East and parts of Rivers state during the #EndSARS protests. Unconfirmed reports suggest that some of them even killed policemen and other innocent Nigerians. I find these reports troubling but I do however question them.

The Nnamdi Kanu that I know can be impulsive and say some very harsh things at times but he is not a killer or a violent man. He is a formidable intellectual and a visionary leader and not a merciless, bellicose, violent, murderous and bloodthirsty barbarian.

God forbid such a thing but if he was a man that took pleasure in the spilling of blood he would have put one million Ak 47's in the hands of his followers by now and all hell would have broken loose. Violence is not in his blood and neither is it in his interest.

On several occasions he has told me privately and has said publicly that IPOB's struggle is and must always be a peaceful one and he is wise enough to know that anything outside of that will be counterproductive and would lose him a lot of support and sympathy.

If indeed IPOB youths, as opposed to thuggish hoodlums that are claiming to be IPOB or rogue elements within the organisation, have killed anyone anywhere then I wholeheartedly condemn it and such barbaric behaviour must stop forthwith.

Two wrongs can never make a right. The fact that the Nigerian state indulges in mass murder does not mean that their victims must also soil their hands with innocent blood.

And if anyone doubts that the Nigerian state is indeed a brutal and bloodlusting killing machine which seeks to crush dissent and silence those that do not key into its inherent barbarism then I challenge them to find out how many young innocent Igbos are being targeted and killed by security forces in Obigbo, Rivers state today in the name of fighting IPOB.

[/b]According to Amnesty International in Obigbo innocent people have been kept in inhuman conditions in a 24 hour curfew for the last 10 days without access to medicare, food, water and power and there are reports of extrajudicial killings with dead bodies all over the streets.

The group torture, psychological trauma and mass murder of Igbo people for whatever reason and under whatever guise in Obigbo is unacceptable. I condemn it in the strongest terms.[b]

Where is our humanity? Must the Igbo always be slaughtered like flies in Nigeria? Do they not have red blood too? Does any race or human being deserve this type of targetting and treatment?

I condemn the killing of security agents by anyone in that community but does that mean that every Igbo there must be treated like a prisoner of war or massacred?

[/b]What moral right do we have as southerners to complain when northerners kill our people when we in the south are so ready to kill one another in such a barbaric and cruel way? Today I weep for the South and I weep for Nigeria.

Children and youths were massacred by soldiers at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos just two weeks ago and today children and youths, of Igbo extraction, are being targeted, hunted down like animals and massacred by soldiers in Obigbo in Rivers state. This inexplicable MADNESS and unconciable BLOODLUST must stop![b]

If the truth be told the real terrorists in this country are in Aso Rock and not on the streets of Igboland or in the ranks of IPOB.

Calling for a referendum and seeking to peacefully exercise your right of self-determination after being subjected to and confronted with 60 years of subjugation, murder, ethnic cleansing, tyranny and genocide does not make you a terrorist, it makes you a courageous man of conscience and a freedom fighter.

I am not from the old Eastern Region of Nigeria and therefore I am not a member of IPOB. I hail from the old Western Region where we have our own struggles and where we also seek to chart our own course and determine our own future.

That struggle is for either restructuring of the country or, failing that, the peaceful establishment of our own nation which we shall call Oduduwa Republic.

This is a noble quest because Nigeria has failed us just as it has failed everyone else. And if things do not change quickly it is a quest that will be achieved sooner than later.

Yet the struggle for freedom is not for the Biafrans and the sons of Oduduwa alone: it is also for the ordinary people of the core North who have been through hell and who have been subjected to unprecedented levels of carnage and savagery.

Again it is also for the people of the Middle Belt and the so-called minorities of the north who have suffered for so long and who have been denied, deprived and suppressed more than any other people in Nigeria. They too shall be free from the yoke, bondage and cruelty of imperial Nigeria.

Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following. No matter how many IPOB members you torture, jail and kill and no matter how many of them you misrepresent and demonise, they cannot be stopped because an idea whose time has come cannot be successfully resisted.

Like the great Libyan warrior Omar Al Mouqthar who was known as the 'Lion of the Desert', their battle cry is "we win or we die".

Like the gallant and courageous Patrick Henry, who led the American people in their struggle for independence from Great Britain, their song is "give me freedom or give me death!"


That is their story, that is their song and it is ours too. Freedom calls and liberty beckons: one million tanks cannot stop them and all the misrepresention, disinformation, misinformation and lies in the world cannot deter them.

Maybe Wike is lying.

"May be Wike is lying" is a dumb cop-out. The fact that Wike lied is one thing however to allow yourself to be fooled by Wike is another subject matter.
