Fucckking Biafran!

Blah, blah, blah, post your rent receipt here or shut up. You don't own a rat's ass.

I live in many places by the way, owerri, Abuja, Lagos, , depending on the season. Osun looks more attractive now. Thinking of buying land there already since everyone is on the one Nigeria brand wagon.

Oh, wait, I don't remember asking your input on anything now did i?

deedeedee1:

Welcome.

Averagely electricity supply in osun state is good. But for food, food items are not that cheap... As you know now nothing is cheap everywhere.

But the standard of living is not that high sha.

Mind you, don't expect Lagos liveliness to osun because most places in osun state can be boring. But for an online business person like you. No internet traffic jam like that like that.... You get?

Understood, bro

Hi, people,

I need to ask a question and I need all the frank answers I can get before arriving at a final conclusion on a decision that could make or ruin me.
I wish to know all about Osun state becuase I'm about to move down there. Basically, I'm relocating due to my (online) business there from Lagos due to this horrible power supply issue. I pay heavy bills and NEPA only brings light for three hours at midnight Spend more on generator and fuel but the damn machine won't start when you need ti most. I'm sick of Lagos, it's killing my business.

I read a thread here last two months that said Osun state has the highest power supply rate in Nigeria, averaging 22 hrs daily. Made some inquire and found this to be true but you see, I want to know more so I know exactly what I'm getting myself into here. What better place to acquire knowledge than Nairaland?

Here goes....

1. How expensive are food and accommodation down there? It is hell here in Lagos and I sure don't want to run from frying pan to fire.
2. I'm Christain and I heard that Osun is a very Muslimised state...how will this affect me?
3. I'm a single Igbo guy and naturally I'm worried about my prospects of getting a good wife in a state like that, it's bad enough in Lagos here and there are Igbos here.

These are my main worries and they boil down to a few words....how expensive, suitable and sociable is Osun state to a single Igbo guy looking to make the best of his online business.

All knowledgeable responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Darkcrisp:
Err...I'm allergic to contests

I replied your PM a few seconds after I got it last night. I must confess u got me curious

Queenlovely:
Nairalanders please I need your honest advice on this issue.

My brother opened up to me about his marriage yesterday. I promised I will give him a reply today. He has a marital problem. He complained bitterly that his wife has never said sorry to him. 11 years of marriage and she has never apologised to him anyday. He usually takes the initiative to beg when they have an issue.

Recently she went behind her husband to borrow money from his friend. My brother Is a very quiet person and dislikes third party involvement in his marriage. She keep on repeating that her husband has never done anything for her. My brother had to sell his new bike for a song, just because she wanted to settle a financial problem.

My brother is fed up and wants to call it quit, but for the sake of their baby. What should I say to him

I'm something of a psychologist sir, basically I read people like books, read their character and know their thought from minor actions and words.

from your description this is the woman your brother married.

1. One who feels she is bigger than her husband
2. one who feels her husband cannot do without her but she sure does not need him.
3. one who is very likely to cheat if she is not at it already.
4. one who will walk away if she can hook a rich fish
5. A proud woman who will never have her husband's best interest at heart
6. A woman who 'most likely was never in love'
7. A woman who will have no second thought abt putting her husband in trouble....you know, the kind that will sell his house when he travels

I could go on bro, bottom line, don't let that one baby fool you. That marriage is a disaster waiting to happen.

put my points stated above to your brother and if he has not noticed or suspected at least half of them come back here and call me a big fool.

cheers!

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday, backed out of the planned talks between the secessionist group and the South-East Governors Forum.

The IPOB leader had met with the governors at the Enugu State Government House on August 30, and both parties agreed to hold further talks to seek an amicable resolution to the issues raised by the pro-Biafran group.

Another meeting was scheduled to hold between Kanu and the governors on Friday, September 15, but, in a statement he personally signed, which was made available to journalists, the IPOB leader said he would no longer continue with the talks.


He blamed the development on an alleged plot by soldiers to assassinate him while on his way to the meeting with the governors.

He also alleged that he was currently attending to his injured and bereaved followers, who had allegedly fallen victim to attacks by the military in the course of the ongoing Operation Python Dance 2, started by the Nigerian Army in the South-East.

Kanu, in the statement, hinted that the leaders of the IPOB intended to meet to vote on whether to drop their non-violent approach, and instead, use force to confront the Nigerian Army.

Parts of the statement read, “In view of the concerted effort by the oppressive Nigerian state to shatter the peace and tranquillity of the South-East and the rest of Biafraland through military intimidation, it has become necessary for me to clarify why, regrettably, I may not be able to attend Friday’s meeting with the South-East governors as earlier agreed, for three main reasons.

“We are currently busy attending to our dead and injured from this latest round of unprovoked military onslaught against innocent civilians in our own land. All the casualties so far were shot by men of the Nigerian Army deployed in my house and those stationed along motorways leading into Umuahia, my hometown.

“I have been reliably informed also that a detachment of this same soldiers, responsible for the murder of innocent unarmed IPOB family members, have now been stationed near Enugu to ambush and assassinate me on my way to the meeting with the governors on Friday.

“On that same Friday, the 15th of September, 2017, the leadership of IPOB, through the instrumentality of the Directorate of State, headquartered in Germany, will be meeting to vote on the viability or otherwise of continuing our struggle in this non-violent manner.

“There is urgent need to begin the process of defending ourselves in the face of relentless murderous attacks from the Nigerian state.”

Kanu explained that the prevailing situation in the South-East was not conducive to meaningful discussions with the governors.

“Accordingly, we will not engage in any meeting with anybody until the atmosphere is conducive and peaceful enough to allow for such,” he said.

In the same vein, he warned anti-Biafra Igbo, whom he described as “collaborators and agents of the oppressor”, to immediately go into self-imposed exile.



A [b]few hours before Kanu’s statement, however, the Rivers State Police Command alleged that one Sergeant Steven Daniel was killed by IPoB members.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ahmed Zaki, told newsmen in Port Harcourt that Daniel was shot dead by IPoB members during the crisis in the Oyigbo Local Government Area.

IPOB members and security operatives clashed in the area on Tuesday with the report that one person was killed.

Zaki pointed out that three arms and 68 rounds of live ammunition were taken away by the sergeant’s assailants, adding that 32 persons had been arrested by the police in connection with the clash in Oyigbo.

He stated, “The same group, who have no justification for their action, also attacked a police van from Nonwa Police Training School en route from Port Harcourt International Airport, and burnt the van to ashes.

“The driver of the van, Inspector Emaikwu Ochochi, was badly injured and is currently on admission in a hospital. The attackers also carted away one AK47 riffle with 60 rounds of live ammunition and one Barretta pistol with eight rounds of live ammunition.

“At the end of their rampage, many vehicles were damaged and scores burnt.[/b]

“However, the command was awaken with yet another attack today (Wednesday), at about 12.10am, where some members of IPOB regrouped and launched a surprise attack on mobile policemen stationed at Oyigbo junction, killing a police sergeant identified as Steven Daniel, attached to Mopol 19, injuring two others and burning down their patrol vehicle.”

The state CP further alleged that one sterling SMG riffle, belonging to the deceased officer, was taken away by the attackers, adding that they (attackers) were repelled by the police with nine of them arrested.

He stated that the nine arrested members brought the number of suspects to 32.

Meanwhile, some security operatives took over the expressway in the Oyigbo area of the state on Wednesday.

It was gathered that social and economic activities had begun in the area barely 24 hours after the clash between the security agents and IPOB members.

There was heavy security presence in places close to the expressway, while policemen embarked on a stop-and-search.

People passing through a point before the Oyigbo Junction were asked to raise their hands while some, who were suspected to be part of Tuesday’s crisis, were arrested.

A resident of the area, who identified himself as Okenyi Johnson, said policemen were everywhere as early as 5am, adding that he could not get any commercial vehicle to his place of work because no vehicle was allowed to pick passengers.

“I had to trek to a distance before I could find a bus that conveyed me to Eleme and from Eleme to Etche. I am still in Etche as I speak because I am not sure I will get a vehicle that will take me to my house,” Johnson said.

Meanwhile, the three-day curfew, declared by the Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, paralysed business activities in Aba and Umuahia on Wednesday.

A trader at Ariaria International Market, Aba, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone, said many shop owners did not open for business for the fear of the unknown.

It was gathered that the soldiers were stationed at the Osisioma junction and other strategic locations in the commercial city.

Biafra agitators berate Ojukwu’s son

Also, a pro-Biafran group, Biafra Zionists Federation, has expressed disappointment in Emeka Ojukwu Jr., the son of the late leader of the defunct Republic of Biafra, Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Leader of the BZF, Benjamin Onwuka, who recently named himself the ‘Interim President’ of Biafra while announcing the formation of a ‘Biafran government’, said this in Enugu.

The Biafra activists are unhappy with Ojukwu Jr. for saying his father indeed had a meeting with Buhari in 2003, during which they allegedly foreclosed Biafra.

Onwuka described Ojukwu’s son as a ‘saboteur’ for admitting that the said meeting took place.

He said, “It is very disappointing for Emeka Ojukwu Jr. to join Buhari in saying that his father dumped Biafra when he was alive.

“We have said it before that Buhari lied; we are saying it now that Emeka Ojukwu Jr. is a chronic liar and a saboteur.

“Why is he supporting Buhari who is sending troops to be killing his own people if not for selfish interest, for stomach infrastructure?

“Since he said he was aware of the meeting, we demand that he should provide the date, the venue, the transcript, the signatories to the agreement and the witnesses.

“We also demand to know why he waited till now to say so.”

Military occupation, plan for state of emergency – Uwazurike

Reacting to the military operation in Abia State, a former President of Aka Ikenga, the think tank of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, described the current occupation as a ploy by the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state.

Uwazurike, in a series of text messages sent to The PUNCH on Wednesday, called on the government to withdraw soldiers already deployed in Abia State and other parts of the region.

Uwazurike stated, “The current show of force in Abia State is a ploy to declare a state of emergency in the state. It is a well-known fact that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra do not carry weapons and are only known for holding rallies and punching the air in a black power salute.

“If any of these two actions is a crime, then they should tell us whether the constitution of Nigeria should be obeyed.”

South-East elders decry militarisation of Igboland

Also, the South-East Elders Forum decried what it called the militarisation of the South-East geopolitical zone by the Federal Government.

It said the face-off between the members of the IPOB and the military had turned the zone to a war theatre.

The Convener of the forum, a former Ohanaeze Ndigbo national president, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, who stated this in Nnewi, Anambra State, condemned the spate of alleged deaths resulting from the operation.

He said, “I advise the civilian population to be calm, go about their business peacefully and lawfully. The army should ensure that their exercise inflict minimum interference in civilian traffic on the roads, lanes, byways and waterways. To the best of my knowledge, there is no war in the South-East geological zone.”

APC calls for caution, PDP seeks dialogue

Meanwhile, the two major political parties in the country, the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party, have called for caution in the South-East, saying Nigerians must shun war-mongers.

The APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in Abuja on Wednesday, advised IPOB and other separatist groups against lawlessness.

The APC also expressed regrets over the incident at the Nigeria Union of Journalists’ secretariat in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, where some journalists were assaulted.

Abdullahi stated, “While the party insists that security agencies must adhere to globally stipulated rules of engagements and laws governing their operations, we must allow our security agencies to conduct their constitutional roles of securing lives and property without hindrance and provocation.

“We also call on citizens, social commentators, media influencers and other stakeholders to be careful and mindful of their utterances on the clashes.

“Stoking tensions by inciting utterances, hate speech and all other forms of awful propaganda will only push the country to the precipice.”

The APC said the devastation of the North- East by Boko Haram, the 1966 Nigerian Civil War and similar conflicts in other countries were effects of internal strife.

On its part, the PDP called for restraint in handling the ongoing conflict.

The party, in a statement in Abuja by its spokesman, Mr. Dayo Adeyeye, stated that now that tempers seemed to be rising, dialogue remained the only viable option to resolve the problems in the South-East.

It stated, “What the country needs at this time is an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, without which no meaningful positive development in whatever sector can be attained, and the situation unfolding in the South-East, which is a very important component of the Nigerian family, is no doubt inimical to our collective quest to take Nigeria higher.

“It is, therefore, in our enlightened interest as a people and as a nation to rise up to this challenge intelligently without undue egotism, and with the best interest of the country at heart.”

Biafran agitation meant to topple Buhari —Northern groups

But the Coalition of Northern Groups said the agitation by IPOB was aimed at removing Buhari from office by any means.

The group, at a press conference in Kano, on Wednesday, said IPOB was bent on making the country “ungovernable” for Buhari.

It stated, “As cultured people with a long history of tolerance and respect for constituted authorities, we call on northerners to resist the temptation of carrying out reprisals and playing to the gallery,” said the spokesman for the CNG, Abdul-azeez Suleiman.

“The agitations and disturbances that have been ongoing ceaselessly since the coming to power of the Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo administration in 2015, are aimed at rendering the country practically ungovernable, and ushering in anarchy and instability, thereby occasioning a change of government by whatever means and tactics.”

Reps’ S’East caucus condemns operation

The South-East Caucus of the House of Representatives condemned what it called the show of force by the military in the zone.

The caucus, in a statement on Wednesday by its leader, Chukwuka Onyema, said the show of force violated the rights of the people.

The caucus stated, while the military as spelt out in the constitution had the right to discharge its constitutional duties, “there is no gainsaying that internal military operations can only be conducted without doing violence to the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental human rights of citizens.”

Fake! Fake!! Fake!!!

......

Now, don't forget to service your brain before quoting me. The other thread where you said this to me was locked so I came looking for you here.

Mix fuel and fresh honey to wash away the mugu symptoms, I hear it works for people like you

Fake fake fake

You must be Buhari's brother

Iscoalarcon:
the real criminal is Nnamdi KANU that orders his supporters to terrorizes innocent people

Open a thread. Publish a copy of that order and mention me. I will stop being an Igbo man that day.

Igbos do not bow to nonsence and that man never said a thing.

Next u will say he gave buhari the order to attack d east under guise of phyton dance....make up your mind bro

sarrki:
You are a patriot

Blind man, how u take see am?

Blind man, how u take see am?

I don't want to know or associate with a terrorist

u mean Fulani terrorists with cows and armored cars right?

sarrki:
We are ever ready for you and ipobs

I Quote your leader KANU

In view of the concerted effort by the oppressive Nigerian state to shatter the peace and tranquility of the South-East and the rest of Biafraland through military intimidation, it has become necessary for me to clarify why, regrettably, I may not be able to attend Friday’s meeting with the South-East governors as earlier agreed, for three main reasons.

1.) We are currently busy attending to our dead and injured from this latest round of unprovoked military onslaught against innocent civilians in our own land. All the casualties so far were shot by men of the Nigerian Army deployed to my house and those stationed along motor ways leading into Umuahia my hometown.

2.) I have been reliably informed also, that a detachment of this same soldiers responsible for the murder of innocent unarmed IPOB family members have now been stationed near Enugu to ambush and assassinate me on my way to the meeting with the governors on Friday.
3.) On that same Friday the 15th of September 2017, the leadership of IPOB through the instrumentality of the Directorate of State (DOS) headquartered in Germany, will be meeting to vote on the viability or otherwise of continuing our struggle in this non-violent manner. There is urgent need to begin the process of defending ourselves in the face of relentless murderous attacks from the Nigerian state.

It is impossible to engage in any meaningful conversation with the governors in the midst of so much bloodshed, abductions and military siege of our town and villages. Accordingly, we will not engage in any meeting with anybody until the atmosphere is conducive and peaceful enough to allow for such.

u and who exactly?

madridguy:
I'm with the facebook poster. The leader of the pigs and idiots should be man enough to face the Nigeria Army.

Kanu come out and dance the python dance together with Buratai's boys.

Shut up O thou son of a pig and a colossal idioto.

msylva2147:
then be rest assured that all info will continue to be fake, and for your info I was rtu this month match as a a result of suicide bombers fragments that affected my left leg, therefore that your issue of light to charge battery you are wrong even while we were there we still charge our phones. maybe you should start developing a new strategy to get a better info not just to meet your so called refugees. you only hear of camp zero according to you but is camp zairo. go and get a better info before coming to boost of writing some fake news for people to patronise. I have been in the north east since 2014, so there's nothing any of you will say that will even surprise me. note that the only reason why I am telling you this is because of what you said concerning soldiers to go and capture shekau if they are gallant as if to capture the shekau is something that you will just wake up over night and do it. if you don't know anything about something don't even go there. if you claim to be a journalist why can't you go to that camp zairo like the way we use to see Americans are doing instead of going to the refugees camp to look for a story to cook and sale.

Sorry about your leg.
You must have been in Maidugari for that to happen.

'Ground zero' not camp zero.
Ground zero is an advanced military term for 'where action actually took place". When someone is on ground zero 'military wise' he is where the big action is breaking or took place.

You seem bitter, understandable considering your injury. But I don't need more input on my book or research for it is accurate and complete as a work of fiction.

My sources of info included, one relief worker who got me info from be refugees and 2 soldiers. I always compared info before I swallowed it as fact. I don't see how you can do better.

Have a nice day.

brainpulse:
If the Nigerian army really wants to act and show its strength, all of this won't deterred them. And nothing will the UN do, Nigerian government already has video evidences of Kanu calling for arms and instigating war and genocide against other tribes.
The other thing that will happen is for Federal government to call for state of emergency then it will become red for una, you will be sleeping and waking up with the military.

The military could not defeat bush men called Boko Haram. you think think they will defeat these guys or you think all this agitation has no plan B?

I'm Igbo, and tell you this. when my people are jumping up and down like this thery've had enough of wherever it is you are selling and they certainly have backup u are not seeing.

Zico5:
I pity these ignoramous called ipobs. By the time Nigerian army finish with u, then u will know no one is bigger than the government. Even some fools who don't even know what war is all about are calling for it. Give igbo all the country resources, yet they will still not be satisfied. I sincerely pity their generation.

Bro, save your pity. I'm in Lagos now. if this gets hotter I will be enlisting in the east. I'm not ipob but I'm sick of being oppersed by d Hausa man.

Yours truly.

EponOjuku:
Let me explain something here.

This is similar to what happened before the civil war. After Major Kaduna Nzeogwu killed Ahmadu Bello, SL Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and others, he refused to kill Igbo leaders.

The Igbos in the north started taunting the Hausas about the killing of the Sardauna. The next thing that followed was the pogrom which led to the recall of all Igbos in the North.

Eventually, a few million Igbos had to pay for the foolishness of a minority.

50 Years later, Kanu proposed going on to Lagos to taunt the Yorubas and Kaduna to taunt the Hausas. Also, the Hausas have given the Igbos an ultimatum and the Ohaneze has called for a return of all Igbos just like 1967.

The Northerners have closed shop and the soldiers have their boots on ground. I'm having a feeling of dejavu. I'll keep my fingers crossed and my gunpowder dry. Another 3M are about to be harvested again.

So now u do understand why Nigeria will never he one. With people/farmers like u looking up and down for human harvest!

Your idea of history is even wrong.... who was it that made major Nzogwu pay for his crime?
Answer,,,, an Igbo officer.

TheCabal:
The Chairman of Traditional Rulers’ Council, Umuahia North Local Government Area, HRM Eze Philip Ajomuiwe

All this Kings with no bloodline in the east. So weak and docile. And they said easterners are republicans.

These guys are the least organized ethnic group in Nigeria. Their ancestral failure to consolidate power is the sole cause of their political insignificance.

I always wondered why the east is so fragmented. And it occurred to me. If they could not have at anytime one ruling house that cut across atleast 1/3 of Ibo land. They never could organize themselves.

Edo conquered far and wide, Nupe far and wide, Yoruba far and wide, Fulani far and wide, Hausa far and wide (even had a warrior princess)
Ijaw, Itshekiri, Calabar. All well organized.

The east has always been a weak but rebellious political group. They can only unite for death and destruction of themselves by themselves.

Remember Bokoharam in the north east. IPOB thinks, the anarchy will go pass the niger bridge. We have six geopolitical zones for times like these, to compartmentalize insurgency, madness and mass delirium

Go back to school and ask your teacher this question.... what tribe in Nigeria was the most dominant before the civil war.
millions of Igbo died in that war and still we are counted among the top 3 tribes in this country.

your thinking abt the bloodlines of our royal fathers is my thinking abt yours where a super idiot can come to power because his father was king that something that never happens in Igboland.

again go read history. of all the tribes in Nigeria, Britain consider the Igbo man's system of government the best.

pls don't take my word for it. go back to school, all the answers are in the history textbooks.

msylva2147:
but I am surprise you don't talk like a matured person you claim to be and besides you only send people to do the research for you but I am among the people battling to end the menace so I can tell you categorically what is on ground but not what they told you we deal with the physical aspect of it not the theoretical aspect. have a nice day.

Not interested in your standards of maturity or your suprises. if you are really on ground, u won't have light to charge your phone enough to kill time on social media.

Secondly, even PMB, and the army generals who give us updates on the goingons on the warfront how many of them have been to the WARFRONT?

We look for people who have been on 'ground zero' not just on ground....'ground zero'....they are the ones who have seel hell and lived.

I never look for info from people like you bro. I go for refugees who lost all or who had been captured.

msylva2147:
as developed as America is, do you know how long it took them to kill Osama Bin Laden? if you don't know anything better still rather than coming here to speak thrash.

Careful now, young buck, you got no idea who you are talking to. Bin laden was a billionaire with the whole world to hide in and Pakistan/afghan lawless borders where there are endless caves and tunnels and every tribesman armed with a rifle with hatred of america in their hearts.

The setting Boko Haram's situation is almost the same but far simpler to solve cos the guy is right there is Sabisia forest. Frontal bombardment is not d answer ...commando strikes is.

Wait, before you open you teeth to talk 'trash' do a careful search with my usermane and find one of books/stories here....'Dirty Diamonds of Boko Haram. i've the series now to 'A Billioniare's Ransom' part 1,2.3 and they available on amazon for $4 per copy but part is free!
Find the book and enjoy. I had to hire people in Bornu state to do my research for the part 2 which occurred right in sabisia forest.
Never talk trash to me again here pls.

Pesuzok:
So you think those guys with stones and sticks chased them away.

I am really surprised at most of the IPOB comments. Baffles me when it is coming from supposedly educated peeps

Power of social media chased them away. if that was 1963 when there was no internet or camera phone they would have plowed through the men.
