If not that Seun is Ponu, why should the opinion of one individual Briton makes the headline on his platform? Have you not seen Britain arresting people who turned protest into riots or those disturbing the peace and movement of other citizens who are not part of their protest?
nedekid: If it is you that has interest in importation, with all the infrastructure, eg tank farms etc, will you alow dangote refinary to work? What will happen to the investment in Malta when dangote floods the local market with petrol? Don't you realize that local refining be it pH, kad, warri, dangote cannot be allowed to work as they will be spoiler for billions being made daily? The earlier we realise we handed ourselves to gangsters the better.
Give it one year from now, all that will be a thing of the past.
These Eboe women wey dey cause trouble, na Dem still dey find Yoruba men to marry. So after Dem fail to grab a Yoruba man for themselves, Dem now want kpai all Yoruba people. Which kind evil be this?
The FIRST video right ABOVE shows another careless and garrulous man speaking. The hateful rhetorics being spewed by that lady in Canada echos or mirrors Ipob propaganda and influence on her because that is how the other females with Ipob affiliations that I have seen in video recordings also speak. The BBC's Global Disinformation Team also did an exclusive report on how some Ibo women living abroad (in places such as Italy, Asia, etc) with secessionist affiliations were spewing hate speech in online videos while calling for the outright beheadings and death of some prominent people in Anambra. These death threats were eventually carried out. The two BBC Weblinks and one other Weblink are right BELOW this paragraph. Second, in 2023, a male ipob member in two separate videos insulted the Oba of Benin and called Edo youths STUPID, USELESS, and uncircumcised including their Oba. When told by Edo folks online (and even some Delta State people) to apologize to the Oba, the Ipob member doubled down in a second video and insulted the Oba of Benin and Edo youths the more and it was totally unprovoked. Some of the inciting videos are still online and I have attached one of the video links (the second video) right after the first video ABOVE. Third, there was also another inciting video back in 2018 that was made by a light complexioned Ipob member insulting the Oba of Benin while casting aspersions on Ile Ife where he said the Oba came from or had ancestral connections. This led to a push back from Edo folks and the Bini Palace elders online and offline. There is a dangerous strand among some Ibos that lack complete decorum when speaking and hence tar other Ibo folks who just want to lead their normal lives in near-absolute peace.

Ipob: Biafra 'media warriors' call for killings on social media - BBC Africa
I have to NOW step right into this convo for the FIRST time ever so that things can be really put into proper historical perspectives with video EVIDENCE and dates. I'm a veteran of the Nigerian Civil War history and I have books in my home library written by combatants on both the Federal and rebel sides that I have had since the 1980s so as to gain proper perspectives of events. The GENESIS or ORIGINS of all these toxic hate speeches started off because of the loss of the July 1967- January 1970 Nigerian Civil War (which lasted for exactly 2 years and 6 months) and since then, some Ibo irredentists have repeatedly engaged in insults and the relentless use of toxic hate speech towards other Nigerian ethnic groups (offline from the 1979 Presidential election cycle right into the 1980s) and (online right from the 1990s) towards the Ijaws, Ikweres, Yorubas, Binis, Delta State ethnicities, Hausas, Fulahs, Kanuris, Tivs, Efiks, etc, who they accused of alleged betrayal over abandoned properties, and generally all prominent ethnic groups that featured as combatants in the Nigerian Armed Forces and civilian resistance towards the secession and encroachment on non-Ibo areas or lands of the defunct Old Eastern Region (WITHOUT a referendum being carried out) by Col. Emeka Ojukwu (rtd) on May 30, 1967. It's as a result of those unprovoked toxic hate speeches online and offline that other Nigerian ethnic groups started pushing back strongly at the attacks by some of the Ibo irredentists. The younger generation who were born in the 1990s and 2000s do NOT know the genesis of how this toxic hatred started because they were NOT born or they were babies then, but those of us who are older can tell you how these cyber bullying and hate speeches, laced with FAKE news started because we witnessed the birth and usage of the Internet back in the early 1990s and saw how this toxic hate speech gained momentum from the late 1990s right to the point when Massob was founded in Lagos State in 1999 by a lawyer, Ralph Uwazurike and intense hate speech and falsifications or embellishments of Nigeria Civil War history and other historical events and disinformation was taking place on those rabid Ibo-owned secessionist Websites in the early 2000s before even Nairaland was created and launched by Seun Osewa in 2005. I used to visit those secessionist Websites with an open mind to read some of what they were chatting about back in the early 2000s (to know what was going on) BUT I was stunned to know that there was high-level TOXIC mind control and brainwashing of the young ones going on in order to make them fit into a false historical narrative. These young ones were then used to push out fabricated stories or half-truths on other discussion forums such as X, FB, NL, YouTube, and more.
Even Ralph Uwazurike granted an interview in 2015 where he said he had to EXPEL Nnamdi Kanu from Massob because he was using the platform to spread a lot of TOXIC hate speech targeted towards others on his secessionist radio station that he recruited Nnamdi Kanu to handle from London in the 2000s.
Ralph Uwazurike was already a marked man under the former President Obasanjo administration. Starting in 2003, the Department of State Services [DSS], began to monitor him and got him arrested so he had to find a new approach using a secessionist radio station.
Kanu used Radio Biafra to spread a deeply sectarian and militant propaganda message, as he put it "… Biafra or Death", often referring to Nigeria as a "zoo" that was destined to go up in flames. He ALSO CLEARLY solicited for "guns and bullets" in a video BELOW when he went to the U.S.
Nnamdi Kanu Solicited Guns To Fight Nigeria At World Igbo Congress
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Nnamdi Kanu said of religious leaders from the South-West and North-Central of Nigeria's Yoruba ethnic group, “It's always Yoruba people, head of Pentecostal, head of Catholic, head of Anglican. Hausas are killing us, Yorubas are sucking our blood."
“If you’re attending a Yoruba church, you should be ashamed of yourself”, he continued. “Anybody attending a pentecostal church with a Yoruba pastor is an idiot, a complete fool, an slowpoke. They are worse than Boko Haram. If your pastor is Yoruba, you are NOT fit to be a human being.”
It was after Nnamdi was EXPELLED from Massob after a splinter group came into existence that he created Ipob in the early 2010s (2012) to continue the fabrication of history and relentless hate speech targeted at other ethnic groups..
The reason why the Yoruba and Ibo violent confrontations online is so pronounced is simply because both ethnicities have a much larger online presence due to overall population size than most Nigerian ethnic groups, so it's NOT surprising that Yoruba folks had to fight back easily at the falsehoods and fake memes being relentlessly spread online by younger Ibos such as the persistent LIE that Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, "committed suicide by drinking rat poison" after planning a coup against Gen. Ibrahim Babangida which is one of the most ASININE LIES and insults ever fabricated online because Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo who was a lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) passed on peacefully and was given a national burial in 1987 being also a GCFR, with General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and Ibo leaders such as Ojukwu himself greatly eulogizing Chief Awolowo, by calling him "the best President Nigeria never had."So, how did these young Ibo kids end up FABRICATING the FAKE story and online memes stating FALSELY that Awolowo "committed suicide" by rat poison? It was via those highly defamatory and toxic secessionist, propaganda Websites and blogs from the early 2000s. I was alive in 1987 when Awolowo passed on and witnessed the events of Awolowo's grand funeral in the media and I can say here and now that he was well eulogized by many Nigerian and world leaders who had worked with him back in the day.A second historical fabrication and LIE that I have been seeing online including on Nairaland is a fake meme being uploaded by younger Ibos showing General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida in military uniform calling Yorubas "cowards" in 1993. That is another CLEAR EVIDENCE of secessionist fabrication of history. IBB NEVER made such a comment either in English or Hausa languages and he's still alive at over 80 years of age (though recuperating on a wheelchair) to debunk that irresponsible lie. He is a man who has close friends among Yoruba folks and wouldn't insult the people he had as friends within and outside the military. When you tell a lie online and offline, you have to keep covering it with another BIG lie but you will be found out because there is ALWAYS a digital trail leading to the TRUTH.
The healing process has to start from within through self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, and self-love. Nobody is gonna do it for those Ibos who are still bitter about the past and have allowed themselves to be relentlessly manipulated via mind control methods by secessionist propaganda Websites and social media platforms to hate other ethnicities and play the highly offensive arrogance and victimhood like the guys in those videos above are doing because victimhood makes them feel good. Whether those who have allowed themselves to be used for bigotry and incitements will become self-aware and change from within is another thing entirely. Justice is key in any society. Forgiveness on all sides is key as well. Period.
P.S. Chinua Achebe in his last book that he wrote before he passed on has this to say about an "offensive" strand in contemporary Ibo behavior.
“I will be the FIRST to concede that the Igbo as a group is not WITHOUT its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and THOUGHT LESSNESS, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is NO doubt at all that there is a STRAND in contemporary Igbo behavior that can OFFEND by its NOISY EXHIBITIONISM and DISREGARD for HUMILITY and quietness.” - Chinua Achebe

Nonexisting1: Brother if you look closer, you'll notice that the woman is much older and likely a hairdresser or a tailor. She is a hard worker and all she wants is a man to call husband. Such people don't give unnecessary troubles. The man on the other hand seems to be a golddigger who premeditated his plans to swindle her. You know I can be very objective as long as our resident daughters of Eve haven't provoked me here. Once they do, I throw away objectivity through the widow. Right now, I'm in good frame of mind so I'm trying to be fair. The man is a scammer and what he did needs to be condemned first before we begin look the woman anyhow eye. Stay hydrated with beer bro.
How much will he get from swindling her? This is crazy.
