sugarfrank: This guys are just a dot in a circle, why not allow them go? Why cling unto them if you so much hate them? Buharia ndi mmuó, listen to the words of your people and do the needful. BUT, on a second thought, What if we elect a leader that carries every region along with equal treatment, appointments and opportunities? Will the Igbos still clamour for Biafra? I really don't think so, Buharia ndi mmuó only exercerbated the whole referendum thing with his neposistic and loop sided favoritism for his clans. Anu mpam!

Le124: There has been outrage over the demolition of 12 churches on 2nd Avenue, FESTAC Town, Lagos State, by officials of the Federal Housing Authority.
Our correspondent was told that a market and a car mart were also affected in the exercise carried out on Sunday.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the demolition started around 5am and continued till around 3pm.
The leader of the Gate of Righteousness Evangelical International Church, Pastor Joshua Obong, said he started his ministry in the community 18 years ago and wondered why his church was targeted for demolition.He said, “The officials first came last week and started marking our buildings. After they were done, they left and returned two days later. That was when they gave us a seven-day notice, which expired last Wednesday.
“On Sunday morning, around 5am, we suddenly saw bulldozers at the First Gate, FESTAC Town. They got to my church at exactly 11am; they demolished all the churches along the road, except the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Communion Chapel and CPM, which they spared. All other churches were brought down.”
Obong said there was no other warning prior to the seven-day noticeHe claimed that the government took advantage of the strike action by judicial workers, adding that nobody could approach the court for injunctions to stop the demolition.
“We wrote to them, seeking extension of time, but the letter was not even acknowledged,” he added.The Overseer of Christ Gospel Church International, Pastor William Ehiorenren, said a senior government official had advised them to send a lawyer to Abuja to sort out the matter.
He stated, “He promised that they would not touch any church till the lawyer returned. Our lawyer was still in Abuja when they came on Sunday, a day of service, and demolished our churches. The lawyer called all their staff members, but they switched off their phones.
“We heard that they want to re-allocate the land and sell to moneybags and make millions. I have not seen where seven days would be given for people to vacate their property.We have been in that area for years and we spent millions of naira in building our churches. They could not even give us time to move, because they had mapped out their evil plan to sell the land to people.”
Ehiorenren said his church usually paid tenancy rates to landlords, who he claimed had legal claims to the land.The cleric accused the government of leaving certain churches, because their leaders had political connections.
He explained that his church was not served any notice of demolition.The Deputy Director, Social Security and Intergovernmental Relations, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Lagos State, Pastor Barnabas Otoibhi, said 12 churches were demolished by the government.
He explained that the owners of the churches cleared a swamp and built their structures, adding that the affected worship centres had been in the community for between 13 and 20 years.
According to him, the government accused the pastors of “encroachment and erecting illegal structures.”The Deputy Director, Social Security and Intergovernmental Relations, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Lagos State, Pastor Barnabas Otoibhi, said 12 churches were demolished by the government.
He explained that the owners of the churches cleared a swamp and built their structures, adding that the affected worship centres had been in the community for between 13 and 20 years.
According to him, the government accused the pastors of “encroachment and erecting illegal structures.”The notice they sent to them, they called it final notice, without serving them any previous letter. We asked that they should be given time. We were discussing this when the bulldozers came in on Sunday morning. The first church was pulled down at exactly 5.45am. Aside from the churches, they also cleared those selling cars in that line. Only a few buildings were spared.”
The cleric said a protest was planned for today (Tuesday) to kick against the “shabby manner” in which the churches were treated.The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, did not take his calls or respond to a text message from our correspondent over the matter.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, FHA, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, did not take his calls, which rang out several times.
However, an official of the agency, who did not identify himself, said the government would address the matter during a press conference on Wednesday.
He explained that the government was in the process of restoring FESTAC Town to its original plan.Ask those people for their letters of allocation and approved building plans. They don’t have them. So, if you have been staying on somebody’s land illegally for over 15 years, how does the person owe you adequate notice? What notice are they talking about?” he queried.
Ofodirinwa: So 2 million homes enter the market, and you fill them with 2 million homeless nigerians, and this, in your mind, will end the housing deficit in Nigeria? 1 million empty apartments in Lagos and you think it there will be a Lagos the next year? You fill them with people who currently can't afford a home. What happens next? Because they have a free apartment they now have the money to pay the rent? Lets say 1 million people are refusing or unable to pay rent, what happens to the landlord? What happens to the property? How will anyone sell another house or rent another flat again?
If this is the best your brain can do economically, enjoy your free apartment.
there will Lagos before and after biafra that the truth if 30m igbo move to the ethnic enclave the will be 180m Nigeria left the Lagos port will service the 180m Nigeria left Nigeria will still retain it postion at the largest markets and most populated Nation in Africa. Lossing the igbos is like lossing a single toe this will not stop you form standing. But loosing the Nigerdleta is like loossing your leg u will survive but might lip . The abandon houses will be used as social houses allocated to area council to the allocate to unhouse citizen . We have horde of homeless people .people that can rent are already renting and keep renting .while new business oppurtunity that will be available from the igbo exit will be filled up by other Nigerians. The igbo dont build space carft and computer chip so they are not in high tech skilled which will be missed .na buying and seller from.china and Taiwan. If 100 igbo tile seller move out of orile today 150 yoruba trader can able to open Lc and ship from china and sell to 180m Nigerians that need tiles .
Order phone from Alibaba or were ever the check the cost igbo man sells cheaper
If u no Sabi business u no Sabi business
u must be a very big clown .There hunderd of thousand of importer of phone in Kano,kaduna,jos,ibadan ,that are not igbo infact in Kano igbo are least in the chain of phone dealer in Kano...igbo dominated trade are medicine, spare part ,electrical buiding material. Hausa man dominate trade include commodity,forex ,gold,textile ,hide and skin and beef production.
Igbos are Global players and Nigeria is too small a market for Ndi Igbo.
Response to second statement;
No Nigeria is the greatest beneficiary by having Ndi Igbo in it's enclave because even the phone you're typing with was made available to you by Onye Igbo. Without Ndi Igbo some people in Nigeria might still be using leaves as clothes.
Wonder why Nigeria don't wanna let people they hate so much leave?
Na YAWA if they leave.
Last response;
We must travel because all the instruments of commerce was taken away from us. Make the Eastern ports functional, get foreign missions to have consulates in Ala Igbo and Grant landing rights on Eastern airports to foreign airlines then we would drastically stop traveling to your area.
Your last statement is wrong Nigeria is such a country.
Even during the war while we were being hounded to be killed, it was Lebanese and Indians that were running Nigeria commerce.
so u actually think is only igbo that can travel to Dubai and China to buy phones and sell in Nigeria?So it only igbo people that know how Alibaba and FedEx works abi ..this is clear example of swine thinking pattern .
Ekpeitit: See people wey hunger kill 2 million of them during the civil war. This time around na 10 million of una wey hunger go terminate. Hahahahahaha.
war never start ENS swines are all falling sick and depending on sugar cane to survive if real Ariel bombardment and blockage start na starvation to death. War is not a good thing imagine a bank manager now eating agama lizard to survive
SlayerForever: Any city where Igbos have great numbers will experience this if they chase Igbos out. Economy will drop to near zero. I don't know why hate won't let people see this.
unless city filled with lazy youth and men .a trader is just a middle man .The igbo are not investors like the Chinese. No the arrive a commercial city with potential to generate the capital here. all the capital to build houses in sabon gari kano came from the sabon gari markets not from inewi. If a igbo spare part dealer leave a Yoruba trader will import the parts and open shop and sell. If the igbo pharmetical dealer choose to be mumu and fellow swine kanu a hausa trader will travel to India to import drug and sell. There notting special they are doing is not like farming. The world is now a global village .
Ofodirinwa: basic economics. Let anyone emotionally incapable of handling the conversation overheat
there is 17m housing deficts in Nigeria,with the exit of the igbos as IPOB a minority terrosit group claim. The housing needs will be balanced. Example if 1m empty apartments spring up in Lagos as a result of the exodus 2 m homeless Nigeria living rough in ijora mushin agegunle,shomolu will move in by govt allocation .this will be Nigeria social housing project .other will be community centres ,igbo are around 30m in Nigeria so the exodus will help make 180m Nigerian population more manageable. Crime rate ,adultration,419,brothel operation and baby factories will reduced by 90 percent in the first instance. Then the Nigerian state will earn forex from the export of tomatos,bean yam beef ,onion,pepper Millets,sourhgum,ginger corn to biafra republic so all the 30000 barrel produced in abia and imo will be used up .go futher millions of igbo federal civil servant will be sacked and deported east .
Born2Breed: This should be replicated in all northern states.
Keep your cows there and only bring them down south to the markets where they will be sold off and butchered the same day or week.
No more roaming of cows.
southern firms and famer should go into the business of selling grass to the northern herder so he will not have to travel down south for grass. And transfer the final cost of rearing and production to the final consumer . (Suya lovers)
aluma: People of asaba and agbor wake up to receive this note of ultimatum give to the delta state governor okowa that he has 72 hours to reverse the ban of open grazing or except attack on asaba and agbor
lies and stupidty when did herder started writing on paper and distributing with boko haram picture.
Ishilove: This past Wednesday, they embarrassed the hell out of my colleague who was owing them 40k. They sent this text message below to all her contacts, myself included. In an instant her phone started ringing as all her contacts reached out to her to know what happened. Some of them even called me and the other staff to hear gist.
By the end of the day she was an emotional wreck. The embarrassment was something else.
Officialgarri: How can someone who isn't a murderer have the guts to beat another man repeatedly and/or continuously with all manner of objects, extreme strength and without pity for a person with bruises all over and extreme pains —especially when not in the case of self-defense.
It means both kidnapper and the punishers are all evil and are in the same category.
This is barbaric in 2021
u wouldnt understand untill they kidnap you or your family.
Nairaland was down for two hours due to a minor miscommunication with our host that was related to copyright infringement.
It shouldn't have taken as long as 2 hours to restore Nairaland, but it took a while for us figure out exactly what to do because it hadn't happened before, and we also had to wait for our host's support team to restore us fully after taking the necessary steps.
We are sorry for this inconvenience.
We know that keeping Nairaland working is especially important in this terrifying political climate, and we take it very seriously. Nigerians need a platform that they can use to share their views freely with each other. We believe that Nairaland is that platform.
Best Regards, Seun Osewa.
we have calling on the govt to banned it .cos instead of National cohesion nairaland is filled with tribalism,hate and bickering. Among Nigerians .
IamHeWrites: Popular Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has taken to social media to loudly celebrate her politician husband, Falegan Opeyemi David who is a year older today, June 10,Igbere TV reports.
In a series of posts on her Instagram story channel, the filmmaker sang his praises, reiterated her love for him and even posted the part where she serenaded him one time.
In another post, she shared a traditional wedding picture where she revealed that they were already married, and as at the time of this report, she changed her Instagram profile picture to one of their traditional wedding photos.
by the imaginary power of ipob supreme swine leader kanu this is unacceptable how can a Yoruba man chopping African Jews .to .to ...no way ...ESN must act now .
swine think upside down and only understand the chief swine kanu .U want to form a country but very busy opening business and new houses outside region .only swines think like that .
JohnBullMySon: He may have exaggrated it, but if you watched the interview with a straight mind, there's no way you would say that Buhari is treating the SE region fairly. See the way he subtly referred everyone as IPOB. Denigrating the region as if she doesn't contribute anything to Nigeria. Why will you define a region as surrounded? Are we fighting a war? And still make the same statement that caused you controversy?
Even people like you that hide under IPOB to call people pigs, shows how you think of Igbos.
the main resource the igbo contribute to Nigeria is human resource which is better than oil in the long term. Swine and pigs are ipob militants killing innocent people they are filty swine .
GodisFirst: Chai, but he didn't tell them to behave themselves when he was begging for their votes and making fake promises of creating jobs. Anyways, 2023, APC must be told to behave themselves if they need the votes.
they can keep misbehaving and doing yahoo ,drugs ,cults,gangs and suicide bombers and expect jobs .
EmmanuelScott1: Simp, what happened to the past six years of his governance. Asf all this you mentioned is not in our country before, making nonsense excuses.
Dunce
idiot 6 year ago over 30000 Nigerians where killed and investwment wort 300bn destroyed. Pig u didn't know that 500,000 youth where employed in Npower.
JohnBullMySon: I don't think he said that. I listened carefully to him, he said that he gives jobs to the most qualified. He said that Yahaya was experienced with BH/ISWAP
so why did the swine narrowed it to igbo?Are igbo the only Nigerians. There are over 200 tribes in Nigeria .
EmmanuelScott1: U dey mad, are you alright? What happened to the last 6 years when his madness began. The youths are burning buses too nonsense
very stupid of you ,if u don't burning of buses if among the numerous example of violence perpetrated by youths.others include culitsm,banditary,419, drug smuggluing and terrorism .but n.a IPOB school u attend understanding simple thing is a problem unless written by swine kanu .
ThumbzTNA: As elected leader, you are mandated to provide jobs for the populace. In civilized countries like the USA, one of the indices used to evaluate the performance of an administration is the number of jobs created. What this means is Buhari has intentionally chosen to fail the masses.
This man is the worst thing to happen to Flora Shaw's Nigeria.
he said if u go and burn 200 buses in Lagos who will invest ? Job are created in a secured enviromemt not one filled with cultist, arsonists and thuggery .so the youth must behave themself. U can't be forming aiye,virkings etc and expect investor to risk there money for jobs .
JohnBullMySon: He actually said it. Though not exactly. He said that he's happy that the SS are not part of it. He said that IPOB are not thinking, that igbos have businesses round Nigeria. And the proposed Biafra would even be surrounded by Nigeria entirely, creating import and economic issues.
where did he say igbo are not qualified to hold appointments .Simple question. Like the ipob pigs said .Simple and straight .
SavagesWillLose: Tyrant and ethnic bigot Buhari showed his hate and disdain for the Igbos again by brushing of a question asked about the ongoing agitation in the South East and the lack of Igbos in top positions in the army and federal political office.
1. On the issue of South East agitation, he missed the opportunity to reach out to the Igbos and bring a lasting peace to the region. Instead of appealing for calm and speaking to the youth as his children, he said (paraphrased) " I am happy that the South South elders have vowed that the South East will not have access to the Sea". In order words, they will be starved again as happened in the Biafran war. This man is evil, I mean evil.
2. He also said that the reason why Igbos are not in high positions is because they are not qualified ( by inference), because people have to earn their positions which is funny considering the intellectual bankrupt quota products currently occulting positions of high office.
This man has constantly made us know that he is an avid Igbo hater.
He side stepped the Fulani herdsmen question, trivialised it and used Taqiya to deceive his interviews and I dare say most Nigerians.
He is the worst leader to occupy the office of president worldwide. Him and his kind should and will, never get the majority support of the Igbos until they apologise and repent from their wickedness.
