ENSEPA please employ street sweepers.

Otherwise your efficient waste disposal system will be in vain.

Afam4eva:
Some of you don't fail to dissapoint me. The issue here is not whether they are fighting for Biafra by how they're going about it. Some people see the name for an independence from Nigeria why other don't. What I won't support is for one idiot to be inciting people to violence.

Thank you so much.

Many people are totally missing the point.

discusant:
Your usual and trademark short sightedness in demonstration here..
They are using violence to intimidate all of Nigeria to embrace a particular religion, and you are turning the other cheek.

I don't know who Nnamdi Kalu is, hardly listened to radio Biafra, but instincts tell me that Igbos that talk favourably about Biafra keep the rest of Nigeria mindful that there must be a limit to anti-Igbo sentiments, religious ideologies and politics in Nigeria.

Those Igbos that march for Biafra wherever they are, they are the most brilliant, most politically educated, and most thoughtful about Igbo future generations; not people like you who see some urban development in your once village domain, then believe that all is well with Nigeria as presently structured and governed.

You have not listened to Radio Biafra and yet you jump on a thread you have NO information about.

What has Boko Haram's violent ways got to do with Biafra's actualization.

Are you suggesting we copy them?

MAYOWAAK:
Radio Biafra is an avenue for those with a siege mentality to vent, it must not be banned or sabotaged. -

The call for a ban on Radio Biafra is an irritating distraction for the following reasons.

1. Biafra Radio operators are guaranteed free speech and do not operate on Nigerian airwaves, they are free to agitate for the State of Biafra so long as they do it without violence, call to violence or promote violence against persons, or promote ethnic war against others.

2. Agitation for the State of Biafra is not a crime as individuals/groups can advocate for a right to self determination, what would be wrong is for them to dismember themselves from the territory of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without the consent and agreement of the other federating units. Biafra agitators would have to wage a war against the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do that and would have to be prepared for the consequences (Positive or Negative) of such action.

3. Banning Radio Biafra would just be playing into the agenda of the operators who are making a kill financially from those who buy into whatever agenda they promote, a ban will increase the funding and drive sympathy to the platform.

4. Radio Biafra and other voices should be encouraged to speak openly rather than drive agitators underground.

5. MASSOB (Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra ) is a good example of how lame the power base of Biafra agitators are, like most other pretentious platforms, Radio Biafra will end up like MASSOB and should be left to be.

6. Best way to counter the narrative of those who operate Radio Biafra is to treat ALL Nigerians equally irrespective of region, religion, tribe, sex or political affiliation, if that is done, platforms such as Radio Biafra would remain an avenue for those with a siege mentality to vent and let the steam out and they must be allowed to let it out in a peaceful way.

I love your write up but the whole essence of this thread is that Radio Biafra has continually breached your number one point.

They have unapologetically encouraged and called for violent means.

I cannot agree with that.

ollah1:
break it down

Just re-read your previous post and the thrash you spewed about Ojukwu.

discusant:
Your usual and trademark short sightedness in demonstration here..

You must be viewing from warped lenses then.

ollah1:
I didn't want to comment initially but i have to input this. This Biafra Radio of a thing is very dangerous and delicate. This was how boko haram started now they are uncontrollable. You guys need to watch hotel Rwanda(Tutsi and Hutu). The movie talks about everything that might happen if this thing continues, when the war started no foreign aid came to their rescue. They only helped their citizens.

War isn't the thing we should be wishing for at the moment. In times of war the gullible and poor are those that suffer. Do you actually think Asari or this kanu et al would be on the battle field? You guys need to ask urself the real questions.

During the civil war, where was ojukwu?
Was he in the battle field?
Who are the sponsors of this fraud?

I thought he was a leader, he was supposed to lead them to the war with is presence but the coward left the country for the gullible ones to fight and die. The sponsors of this fraud are either abroad or rich enough to fly out with their family when things is about getting ugly.

What this kanu wants is power. Let the war begins, he seats in his apartment in London and tune in to CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC and watch how people are been killed and murdered. When the war ends after a couple of years, he flys down to Nigeria to lift the flag of Biafra claiming to be a boss.
Don't be deceived. An average IBO MAN CARES ONLY FOR HIMSELF

I laugh in swahilii.

I do not subscribe to Radio Biafra but you have a rather simplistic and biased view of the issue.

chipet67:
your stupidity is CAPITAL.

Did you even read the write up?

discusant:
The author of the article is most unreasonable.

Author is worried that. talk of Biafra could bring political instability to Nigeria. But author couldn't see beyond the nose that Nigeria is one of the most politically unstable countries in the north.

And That a politically unstable country hardly develops. Political instability ws built into Nigeria by those who rigged the country's political structure through proliferation of states in one part of the country, and through the process denied some other areas equitable political representation on all of Nigeria's affairs..

Actually the writer is worried that the psychopath Nnamdi Kanu may succeed in brainwashing some gullible peeps to start a violent movement.

He lacks any form of diplomacy and spews raw hatred.
That is not what us needed.

Billygee2u:
what can you say about Akiolu and "THE LAGOON "?

What Akiolu said can NEVER justify the calls for violence by Nnamdi Kalu.

Are you saying it is right to reward such (Akiolu) with violence in a civil society.

Nnamdi Kalu is psychopath that should be shut up ASAP.
I can NEVER ascribe to such methods, what different is he from Boko Haram when he is calling for violence.
Violence does not appeal to me and I am sure it does not appeal to the overwhelming majority of Igbos.

That is why I find radio Biafra utterly disgusting.

And he should do well to change that name cause he does not represent what Biafra stood for. When was he even born.

Freiburger:
A visit to a German prison will give you a clear Picture of the damages those guys have done to the Image of the country

Just like Kashamu

Very sad indeed.

lomomike:
If the OP could confess as to a Honda, what would he confess when he drives a 2005 Altima not to even talk of a 2008 altima? And I'm not talking about even the 3.5L V6 SE models.


truth is Japmobiles aren't designed to do a particular task, they're designed to do set of varying tasks satisfactorily.

You just said my mind.

The Altima is considered the sporty jap in that category.

hansad:
withdrawing 3million cash? he invited the hoodlums.

In other words the armed robbers should be given a medal.
And the pastor should be punished for withdrawing money.

Konjour:
Some deranged loonies on here are actually blaming the dead young man for his own death. Makes one wonder deeply about what goes on the head of the everyday folks you see around you on the street.
These same halfwits will blame people who get hit by stray bullets for being where they were irrespective of reason. I hope y'all gonna live long and die by natural causes, but if by any chance any of y'all don't, know that the same blame you throw at others today will be leveled at your corpse likewise. Disgusting cretins.

Thank you so much.

I read with utter disgust posts that were blaming someone for getting murdered in cold blood.

What kind of sick society is this?


He attended a cultist's party and so bloody what.

Does that give them a right to murder him?

s3nn2x:
I listened to the programme and was shocked to my bones. Those people supporting the Senators should have their heads checked.

Is he the only Senator in the country or does he have two heads? The Senator was rude from the onset. The Presenter introduced himself and tried to strike a conversation with him, but the Senator kept telling him to keep quiet and not to call his number again. The Senator should be polite because he doesnt know who is who.

Can any of you compare Senator Effiong and Senator Abaribe? Both of them were called during the programme and both answered different ways. Even, Senator Effiong was kind of insulted by the Presenter but he did no lose his cool.

The only reason Senator Abaribe called back was because someone told him that the Presenter insulted him on air and called him an idiot. He only called because he was doing damage control and nothing else. At the end he did not even say anything.

Most people commenting on this thread do not listen to the programme and do not know what happens. Besides, the presenter did not insult the Senator even when his co-presenters we trying to make him say something against the Senator.

You do not put a public officer on a live interview via phone without any prior information.

The senator also has his own rights.
They should learn from Channels.

Ignorance.

Many of these trainings are NOT routine and involve a small often covert group.

Yeahreen:
I listened to d program live while I was driving this morning. He was Called, nd the senator said he was busy. He was expecting a call from "channels TV" cos he was to speak live on air. In fact when he picked the call, the first thing the senator said was "Is This Channels TV". When D Presenter Introduced himself as "Ordinary President" or something...
The Senator told him not to call his line again. As the presenter kept trying to explain, The senator said "Shut Up" that he's busy...
#Lets Not Get It Twisted#..The Senator's position was that he should be called before hand if they want to interview him online or send him an sms because he receives a lot of spam calls daily.

"Ordinary President " what kind of introduction is that.

He is probably under the delusion that everyone knows him which is very annoying and naive.

It is not ethical to put someone on live broadcast for an interview without foreknowledge.

However, the senator should learn basic telephone ethics.

Is it Rochas that plunged Imo state into heavy debt.

The one that littered his state with substandard projects that are falling apart before his eyes.

I can see Nigerians are their own worst enemies.

funlord:

Wetin dey worry these "mumu hajiyas"! Dem never hear say even states no fit pay workers salary? Better go and continue 2 fast and pray 4 naija at home oh! That 5k fit be 2nd term project!

2nd What!!!

In your wildest dream.

State governors greedily shared the excess crude account instead of working hard towards generating revenue.

Now oil prices are down and they go cap in hand.

Where is the change?

APC is a scam.

Recent turn of events has really exposed those responsible for the reason why Nigeria is finding it difficult to weather the fall in oil prices.

The greedy governors who felt it was better to share the excess crude account instead of working hard towards generating revenue.

This article is about Lagos basically.

The rest of the states in the SW don't add anything significant relative to Lagos.

Will you sell 500k?
Fraudster!

Fraudster!

Is this some sort of gift for a script well played.

hakanai:
Am a proud Northern Muslim and its time the Muslim folks particularly the northern ones grow up and begin to see the light. The so call Sheik should also remember that the prophet encouraged Muslims to do charity , to give rather than recieve. Because of its immence blessing.If so why should you always choose to be recieve. It is more rewarding to strive ,making a living and give out in alms to the needy.
We cannot Continue to live this way, always wanting to get without going to find.Again as Muslims that should be just and show fairness, the money generated is from all faiths and not for Muslims alone. In such a case you are not being fair to others residing there that do not share our faith.
The rich folks amongst the Muslim faithfuls and the shiek should start by giving out to the needy.We have enough to go round. Muslim folks can volunteer,after all is an act of ibadah and rewarding to a believer. If the governor wishes to give out of his personal wealth so be it. We as Muslims need to be up and doing.
Lastly for the misguided people who still choose to call Muslims terrorist may Allah grant you enlightenment.
Ramadan Kareem!

Your post has really renewed my belief that there are good Muslims out there who are unbiased in their reasoning.

You couldn't have put it any better.

Buhari has no plans whatsoever for Nigeria.

Time is ticking away.

You have no finance minister.
No economic team.
No petroleum minister.

No health minister
These are the key sectors.

Imagine if the Ebola outbreak occurred now.

This man should just resign If he does not know what to do.

Python regius is the species found in Anambra.

Python regius is a nonvenomous python species
found in Africa . This is the smallest of the African
pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due
to its typically docile temperament.

It is also known as royal
python or ball python . The name "ball python"
refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball
when stressed or frightened.
In captivity, they are considered good
pets, with their relatively small size and placid
nature making them easy to handle. Captive bred
adults rarely bite unless severely threatened.

chival:
I am from idemili LG which comprises towns where the python is the recognized totem. I do not condone the practise or support it but I'd like to correct some misconceptions.

1. Not all snakes are revered in Idemili. Only the python (eke) is.
2. The python is the people's totem and not a god. It is not worshipped but revered and believed to be a protector/guardian.
3. The snakes come and go freely like the OP observed, even in my own village/family home, and I believe this largely because pythons are non venomous snakes and secondly, they have come to exist peacefully over so many years with people of the area so neither the python nor the people regard each other as a threat.

You are spot on.

Pythons are non venomous
The species of python found in Anambra is harmless to humans.
It is not the large boa constrictor (heck even the larger python species hardly pose a threat to humans because of their relatively sluggish nature).
Burmese pythons which grow to much larger sizes are popular pets in many parts of the developed world.

It think the positive side of this practice is conservation and control of rodent population which the pythons prey on. I don't care for the fetish aspect and many towns no longer practice the burial rites aspect but they have gotten so used to not killing the pythons.

Presently with increasing emigration into Anambra towns, the python population has been on the decline as many nonindigenes kill it for food or out of fear.
I personally think they should be left alone not because of any fetish reasons but because it is a good conservation practice and they keep the rodent population in check.
