Juliusmalema:
Yes they are touts, thugs, criminals disturbing the peace of the society.

In the name of Ipob they are perpetuating heinous crimes in our society.

Nigeria security should rise to their duty and bring an end to such madness.

Please explain how this is the situation. Also list a few of these heinous crimes.

How far?

SHEGZYRAY:
Have you received yours? Or, has anyone else received?

PatEinstEin:
I just got the invitation. Please what should I expect for the aptitude test? Thank you.

I DON SEE MINE O.

WETIN WE GO READ?

Good morning gents.
I do not have these information because I am just an observer.

The correspondence I have is also an applicant. He was the one that brought the invite message to my attention. Unfortunately, he is still undecided whether to proceed until he confirms the pay package, career prospects and working conditions. He'll probably be viewing this page on guest mode so anyone with useful and first hand info should educate us.

I actually suggested he gave it a try but when he mentioned that the company is run by Indians I gave up.

Griezwoman:
The members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday staged a heavy protest peaceful procession in Umuahia, Abia State capital today.

According to reports, the IPOB members appeared on a Jewish attire with Insignia on Biafra and stormed(?) major streets in Umuahia.

The protest later turned bloody when the men of the Nigerian police attacked in a viral video and left many killed and their bodies taken..

Misleading report.

sweetrace:
Please spare me from this.... so, she’s not allowed to be on Twitter? And I don’t even have the time or inclination for this. If you don’t know that people who are severely sick can recover, then please continue to mouth Jubril.

Nope, not what I asked. Why is she no longer active like before, that's the question. Meanwhile, you're contradicting yourself ma'am.

The only person who was in the limelight was Zarah.

...they are generally a family that shy away from the limelight. It was APC that made them so visible because they wanted the public to relate to Buhari.

Yes, people fall sick...very severe ones too and recover; but does recovery involve looking decades younger than you were even prior to the sickness
The treatment he underwent with public funds and the nature of the sickness was kept secret, I'm sure that's also none of our business.

sweetrace:
How do you know that they’ve been unusually withdrawn from their father? The only person who was in the limelight was Zarah. You are the one who does not know what you’re talking about. Zarah is nursing her baby at the moment. Moreover, they are generally a family that shy away from the limelight. It was APC that made them so visible because they wanted the public to relate to Buhari. To see him as human. It is the same reason they dressed him in different cultural outfits and took him round Nigeria. Before then, you knew nothing about his kids. But like I said, you’re not in pursuit of truth.
Please ignore my passion. Focus on what is real. The main problem with this country is how Nigerians tend to focus on frivolities and not real issues. You’ll rather believe in the cloning impersonation of a man in his 70s, than address the ineptitude of government. And we wonder why we have always been stuck with corrupt leaders who don’t their jobs.

I have some questions I'd like you to address:

- Was APC responsible for her twitter presence in the past?
- When was the last time she was heard of?
- Considering the fact that her "dad" is running for second term, isn't it necessary that she should have been making a few twitter posts to garner support?
- Why has the wife of the president been acting strange in the last couple of months? Don't tell me you didn't notice. Or could it be that she is also hungry for power and was sidelined in the scheme of things? Could it be that the feeling of alienation made her publicly condemned activities of the presidency on several occasions?
- How do you explain the Paris summit scandal? Why will the president's media team deceive the public with old pictures and doctored images?

- Watch this clip, skip to 0.45
I'll like to know your thought.

sweetrace:
Because the children and grandchildren have been raised to have and show respect for themselves and others. It is demeaning for them to address such a stupid non issue. Imagine expecting them to say that is our real father! Even if they did, you still won’t believe them, because this is not a pursuit of truth for you. It is case of ridicule and cruelty. Why not just point out how he has not met your expectations as a president and mobilize his exit? That will be the sane thing to do.

The way people defend what they know nothing about is quite hilarious. I admire your passion but what you've said is more of sentiment than logic. How do you explain the fact that they've been unusually withdrawn from their "father" all this while... Emotional trauma?

Okoyeeboz:
Then that answers your question below

In case you don't see the difference, I'll educate you.

One party planned an assassination, the other planned a fraudulent cover up of supposed death.
The assassination was believed to have been successful until the subject unveiled himself after recovery.

The fraudulent impersonation, on the other hand, is still being defended even with all indications pointing to that fact; the subject is yet to prove himself too.

Okoyeeboz:
When Ipob pigs said Kanu was killed by the Na, why didn't his family say a single word?

Was that not the plan?

Okoyeeboz:
Why are they running away?

Isn't it Biafra or death?

...asks someone who will most likely stumble while running away when he discovers the cockroach has wings.

I'm sure you'll still have condemned their act if they had done what you're suggesting...unarmed civilians challenging fully armed military men. To think one would shamelessly celebrate this victory against a non-violent procession beats my imagination.

sweetrace:
Nonsense. You are a cruel and insensitive person. Imagine someone saying this about your own father. I hope you realize he has kids and grandkids that will be reading that their father is dead. Address his lack of good governance and stop with the stupid talk.

Miss, common sense...
Why have the kids and grandkids not said a word up till now?

GuyWise101:
Jubril is real, Buhari is dead, Aisha and the children are in sorrow, the country is being ruled by an impostor!!!

Now those doubters doubting about the Jubril claim can now rest and know that an impostor is our President and shall whenceforth chanel their energy towards voting Jubril out and sending him back to his home country in Sudan.

You fail to see that has been the game plan all along. Why do you think they've been hounding Peter Obi and not Atiku who they claim is corrupt. Atiku is assured the presidency in exchange for silence...anything to keep power in the north.

Those who can be bribed have been bribed, those with existing files are being blackmailed, some others are mute because they claim national security is at risk yet ignorant youths will defend an obvious fraud as if their life depends on it...well maybe it does.

Nigerians are being played and those who claim to be intelligent don't even have a clue.

Warship:
China, France and Soviet Union told Ojukwu to exchange oil for freedom but he refused only to regret it years later after realizing that sometimes, tactics/strategy must be altered in order to achieve results.


Soviet were both supporting both sides until after Ahiara declaration.

By Soviet supporting both sides you mean by selling weapons.

The British provided Nigeria military intelligence and technical expertise, that's what I consider support. Every other thing is just business, and that's what France had with Biafra hoping to be positioned for oil exploits after the war.

Warship:
The smaller African countries become the lesser their military strength to oppose China, Russia, etc.

Do you know why US can't bully India.? Because they have both the tech and population to oppose the US and other major powers.

Then explain to me why Russia (and China if I'm not mistaken) backed Nigeria in the 1967 civil war?

India happens to be an ally of the US so I don't see where the need to bully comes in

Warship:
It will not backfire because Russia and China are not Pro Nigeria.

Nigeria is also a threat to their global aspirations and therefore a disintegrate Nigeria is good also for them.

Banom and Kanubiafra take note

Explain further please.

Warship:
That is why I said prepare for that crisis so that, the military can be easily overpowered when that time comes.

I hope you, banom and kanubiafra now understands.

Nigeria is a country filled with uncivilized and undemocratic ethnic groups and therefore, it is expedite we prepare for arm struggle just as the Irish prepared and prevailed in 1916.

That'll be full scale civil war. My concern is not even the bolded but the likelihood that it might backfire and become a business venture for superpowers who will be in a race to outdo themselves selling weapons.

Juliusmalema:
Yes they are touts, thugs, criminals disturbing the peace of the society.

In the name of Ipob they are perpetuating heinous crimes in our society.

Nigeria security should rise to their duty and bring an end to such madness.

Please explain how this is the situation. Also list a few of these heinous crimes.

Igboblog:
Igbere TV gathered that the security operatives stopped the Biafran Jews at Isigate which made the Jewish protesters to remove their garments to disguise their looks.

What does this mean

Warship if this kind of thing keeps happening, that cr1ses might be inevitable after all.

Zi:
Yes it is possible. EA only requires a minimum of 6 in all of SLRW for IELTS. If you get your desired score in one sitting, then no need to re-write

Thanks

I need to confirm something again from Zi's post about EA assessment cos I'm getting confused.
I know one must have English test result before one can apply for assessment but what I need to confirm is whether it is possible to submit LRWS - 7 7 7 7 (for instance) and apply for EA assessment while preparing to retake the English test to get LRWS - 8 8 8 8 which will be used for EOI.

Please help me clarify.

My advice to FG is to connect private companies with the universities on the following basis:

1) Upgrading of the labs/workshops.

2) Financing and Commercialization of research works.

3) Tax break every 10years to motivate private companies to continue supporting the universities.

4) First 5years Tax exemption for every new products developed within our universities.

I agree with the general idea but it is not this responsibility of government. It should be an initiative taken by the institutions as a contractual agreement between their institution and the companies.

These are some of the things that the Deans of faculties, especially the STEM faculties should be looking into.

I don't see why at this age and time a project supervisor will ask his students to work on grinding machine as a degree project, some of which end up as scrap lying around in the workshops; even the reports are tossed into garbage bins and this is no joke.

Methinks, Deans of faculties should establish some working relationship with companies so that the energy and funds students expend will at least count for some worth. Permit me to go crazy here, all these cockroaches running around causing nuisance in the house... Can universities not carry out research on how to weaponize them for military offensive?

Obi1kenobi:
This is the equivalent of saying "I've been working hard and my career is not moving forward. Let me try something new and sit at home". It doesn't make any sense. I've outlined all the ways it doesn't make sense. One thing about many Ipob supporters is that many that shout loudest about boycotts were never voters in the first place. The South East has always been known for voter apathy. Many of these boycott advocates have never involved themselves in any serious way to influence their domestic politics. 99% of them can't name their LGA chairman. Yet, they critique a system that they have never tried to reform.
Plenty of charlatans in history, like Kanu, know how to whip up anger and resentment and bitterness and hate. But charlatans such as these are often more interested in their own power than governing. Communist movements throughout history for example have often exploited mass anger at the elites by the poor masses in trying to reform the system to create equality for all. But every communist government eventually end up as totalitarian regimes under which those same masses end up suffering more.

Anyone that cannot advocate practical solutions, but offers only anger and resentment is a charlatan and will never yield anything productive. And that is all that Nnamdi Kanu and Ipob are good at. They are very good at anger. They're very good at insults. But they're incapable of channeling their anger to productive endeavors, which is why despite building a movement with millions of followers, they have zero political power and only exist to be nuisances. They lack the intellectual capacity, or the temperament. All they have to offer is anger.

No it's not. I can change jobs, change career, start a business, retire early and tour the world...

Unfortunately no advanced country is recruiting for the position of citizens. That analogy no follow at all.

Bro, I ask again, we have been voting-in and voting-out governments, how has it improved our lives.
Truly, most Igbos don't bother about the electoral process because it's a waste of time. Northerners are passionate about elections, whose living standards are better off...do the maths.

Obi1kenobi:
It sounds far more practical than calling for election boycotts.

I'm still not convinced.

Again, as I have continued to repeat, every country in the world resists balkanization and I don't expect Nigeria to be any different.

When there's no justice and equity in a country, you can not write off these kinds of uprising.

No, I meant consequential. Read the sentence again.
Nnamdi Kanu is Ipob, and Ipob is Nnamdi Kanu. Ipob is not an open space for ideas. It is entirely reflective of the tyrannical whims of the person they declared "supreme leader". It is more a cult of Nnamdi Kanu than a serious intellectual movement. If Nnamdi Kanu didn't call for election boycotts, we wouldn't be here arguing about it.

My bad, I've modified it.
It's at your own discretion to describe NK any way you perceive though, all I can tell you is people are more likely to subscribe to actions if they understand why they are doing what they do. We have been voting for ages and nothing to show for it, let's try something new.

And don't delude yourself. IPOB are no different from those politicians. Power ultimately corrupts and Nnamdi Kanu is certainly a man corrupted by power. Hence the disgraceful images of people bowing and genuflecting and prostrating before him and kissing his feet and he accepted the reverential treatment rather than selling his movement as one of comradeship. Where are all those leaders of Niger Delta militants who claimed they were fighting for their people? Many of those militants like Tompolo, Asari Dokubo and Boyloaf are billionaires today from amnesty deals while their people live in the same squalor. If your politicians are incompetent, or they're corrupt, or they don't represent your interests, change them. Elect new officials. Wield the power that Ipob claim to have to effect grassroots change. That is hard work that shows you know what you're doing. Marching in the streets and shouting "zoo" upandan, and abusing Buhari and Fulanis is lazy and useless. If that is the only way Ipob can wield power, then it is an utterly useless organization. This is why serious intellectual movements should be led by people of intellect and steady temperament who can chart intelligent strategies and involve those they represent to contribute in an open space of ideas. If you leave your movement in the hands of crude, uncouth riffraffs, your movement would be one of riffraffs and no one would take you seriously. Again, name me any prominent Igbo sons that support Ipob. Why do you think they don't?

I say again, in due time we will all take stock.

Nnamdi Kanu has not outwitted anybody. He has not made one shred of difference to the Nigerian political space. He hasn't attracted international condemnation because the international community don't care about him and he's irrelevant to them. They're not exactly lining up to support or endorse him.

Are you in this country at all

Warship:
He said it in his first broadcast after his reappearance.

Go to YouTube and download Nnamdi Kanu's Speech for 2018.

I listened. Did he specifically say he is bringing armed conflict or you assumed so. That's what I'm asking you.

Warship:
From your response, it shows that you do not listen to Radio Biafra

Why if I ask you simple question you go dodge but you dey demand say I go answer your own. I ask again, did he tell you himself or you just assumed because he said he will bring hell that must mean a coalition of UN forces to invade Nigeria.

Shebi na "I will destroy the zoo..." naim him talk wey put Nigerian Army on battle mode whereas the statement ends "...with the truth".

victorvezx:
What about the war and crisis in Myanmar, Syria, Libya, Palestine and kurdistan? lol. World powers like USA, Russia and China are using the wars and crisis to make billions by selling expensive weapons. There will be nothing like world peace.

Good you recognize that fact. Civil war and armed crisis is a business when it does not involve you. US and Russia have been squaring up for years, North Korea has been grimacing at South Korea, China and India thesame... Who go draw first blood.

artofseduction:
Clamoring for restructured Nigeria is the easiest part.

Since we re nit the only region that wants it.

From there we can push in for total independence.

Use your sense and be realistic.

Pray tell, who is leading the call for restructuring so far?

Obi1kenobi:
A secession of the SE might lead to the Niger Delta fighting to form their own republic so that they would control 100% of their oil. The SW seeing that there is no oyel money again would also look to secede to solely enjoy the gains of being Nigeria's industrial hub and commercial nerve centre and gateway. All that VAT that Lagos are generating - they would want it to stop going to the North. These are the threats of allowing breakaway groups and the sensitive realities we have to navigate.

Now you see why your talk about lobbying does not sound practical to me. Other regions have more to gain in a Nigeria than as different entities. You forget also that in the course of a separation, the commerce you mentioned will be affected. If Lagos is generating all that income from ports, what happens when Igweocha, Warri and Calabar ports becomes fully operational. Don't you think more than 50% of revenue will be lost by Lagos cos I'm sure the SE will rather do ports business with a ND republic than Oduduwa if you consider closeness.

The FG deployed military might because Ipob were nuisances who generated provocative hate speech, and political thuggery that would have eventually led to violent conflict. Of course the FG overreacted and killing unarmed protesters is a moral outrage, but it was the state governors of the SE that asked the FG to intervene.

Power tussle...that's all. If it's about the interest of the safety of their states' citizens, I should remind you that when the rampaging herdsmen attacked villages in Enugu, the governor didn't take any military action but called for prayers.
The influence of Nnamdi Kanu is a slap on their faces.

The FG keep ignoring demands for referendum because it is not made by consequential people. Who the hell is Nnamdi Kanu - an unemployed, uncouth riffraff from the UK, to tell the FG what to do? How many of your elected representatives have you lobbied to represent your Biafran interests before the National Assembly? Which politician in the whole of Igbo land at any tier of government was elected on the platform of advocating the Biafran cause? WHy couldn't Osita Chidoka, who expressed solidarity for the Ipob cause, get even 2% of votes in the Anambra elections? You see why Ipob is an unserious intellectual movement who prefer empty noisemaking to coherent strategy, when they couldn't even mobilize support for sympathetic politicians and preferred to shout "zoo" upandan? How many of the Igbo elite (politicians, businessmen, corporate executives, industrialists, academics and intellectuals and authors, royal fathers and prominent traditional rulers etc) ever raised their voice to support the Ipob cause? How many? In Catalonia for example, plenty of their elite class (including even football figures like Guardiola and Pique) support secession from Spain? Name prominent Igbos that support the Biafran cause? Again, who the hell is Kanu for the FG to take him seriously? If Ipob are too lazy to mobilize support through political advocacy, then they can either pick up weapons and fight or shut up.

I'll respond by pointing out again that Nnamdi Kanu is not IPOB. He is only a leader who echoes the wishes of the many voices demanding for freedom. Meanwhile, let's not make the mistake of assuming that IPOB begins and ends in Aba or Igweocha or Upper Iweka (Enough said).
Secondly, all those congregation of politicians we have in Igboland are political jobbers, sycophants and self-enriching entities. They have not the interest of the common man, I am not deceived by anyone trying to feign sympathy to IPOB's cause to garner sentiment for political points and that is why they feel Nnamdi Kanu is a threat to the empire they are building.

Also, if those strong terms you echoed are actually the sentiments of this government, then it is a shame that an organised(?) government is consistently outwitted by a riffraff. Why is the Nigerian government always on the reacting side struggling to put up a coherent defence? Again, why has there not been any international caution on IPOB activities and Nnamdi Kanu if he is falling out of line? These are simple questions a lay man will ask.

The issue is not whether the SE is marginalized or not. That is not the point of my argument. The point is the strategy that Ipob have chosen which makes zero sense. I have never in my life heard a group that claims dissociation from politics is the solution to their problem rather than looking to reform the political system. If you're abandoning the political process, the only other strategy that makes sense is taking up arms to fight a war. Anything inbetween that like I said is a whole lot of empty noisemaking. Boycotting elections like I said earlier would be the equivalent of a prisoner in the Holocaust death camps in World War 2 going on hunger strike. If your jailers are already planning to kill you, why would they care if you eat or not? If the FG that are marginalizing you keep on winning elections while you keep on boycotting, what have you changed? Why would Buhari or his APC successor (who won't be Igbo for sure) care whether the SE votes or not? The less votes from the SE, the better for them, since the SE offers bloc votes to their opposition. Why would they care if you vote or not? What would you have achieved?

We shall take stock in due course.

victorvezx:
A crisis had to be triggered before the UN will bother coming in. Thousands of lives had to be lost for the UN to have justification. Yugoslavia, Eritrea and South Sudan are recent examples.

Bro, the world is changing constantly. Don't assume the fact that it was done that way before to mean it will always be that way. The new world order (coming of the antichrist if you please) is pro-world-peace. Even with all the tension and talks about WW3, it might not happen in the next decade or two sef.
