God bless you all niaraland members.

For a little now I have been privileged to serve God as a pastor in a newly planted church, to the Glory of God. There is no great building yet, just a temporary structure made with wood. I am not bothered about that, because humans are the church and not the building.

Now my experience is this, I have come to realize that many of us are going through economical problem, rather than spiritual problem. Anyday I am sitting in church for counseling purpose, majority of people that comes for counseling are those looking for what to eat, you will hear things pls pastor whatever you have give me to eat.

One day I shed tears, because I could not have anything to help some persons. My conclusion is this, churches should help each other. I am setting up a day for compassion purpose, even though we are not much in number yet, members we be encouraged to bring what they have to help others.

Kindlt send me a PM or reach out to me on whatsapps using the number on my profile. It's my private number and I put there for you. I will remove it tomorroe so pls hurry and get it.

No calls whatsapp only.

Cheers!

The stronger party in conflicts always spoils for war. But when war is asymmetrical, no one can determine its outcome and those that suffer are the non-combatants. IPOB should understand that they are not in a position of strength at the moment and discipline and ideology doesn't always win. It is on record that the Biafra, despite being a better organized party, lost the 1967 civil war because it lacked arms to prosecute the war. It's more than 50 years since the end of that war and it is unlikely that IPOB has the capacity to match the Nigerian government that has been buying arsenals for 50 years. This is why de-escalation is the right strategy right now. The 1967 scenario must not replay bearing in mind that the odds against the 1967 Biafra was 4 to 1. I read somewhere that military analysts said had the odds against Biafra been 3-1, that the outcome would have been different. Presently, I do not think the odds are any better.
On the other hand, the Nigerian government must know that opening several theaters of war is invitation to destabilization of the country. We do not want to become another Libya or Somalia. The population around here is such that any humanitarian crisis would be catastrophic. Let's all give peace a chance by addressing the underlying causes of agitations which has caused the proliferation of ethnic militancy.

I am based in Lagos but currently holidaying in the east. The price of things there will shock you, particularly those things you import through those checkpoints.

Ever heard of an igbo man getting any good government job through the front door? Perhaps an army officer's Job?

I remember when I took federal common entrance as a child and our teacher read the cut off mark by state.. Imo state was the highest followed by Anambara. 750! Northern states and even ecowas states had less than half of That! This meant that as an igbo boy if I scored 500 I wouldn't get addmission into a federal government school but the northerners who scored 300 was eligible.

Listen, you can't cheat me and my generation forever. Ths day when I can take it no more must come.

The east will never be in strong position for a war but it looks like we must fight it again to be free.

See who is preaching peace, you are worst than the fulani's. Your ESN is doing more harm than Good, taking lives of innocent police officers. You sent young men early graves by inciting them to be killed by security operatives

Another useless video that proves Nothing?

Simplyleo:
Hmmm.

There will be a remarkable difference between these movies about to be launched and the previous ones.

Different key actors.

But most importantly, lamidi cownu was able to brainwash good number of clowns who he eventually used as shield. Sunday Igboho and Asari Dokubo can't boast of good number of brainwashed followers.

The bottom line is, the duo should know lamidi passed through so many hitches before he finally moved to London and started cashing out.

They should therefore be ready to face some challenges because there are no much illiterates in their zones they can easily brainwash.

Anyway, lemme quickly get another UPS on standby for my TV and Dstv system. I don't wanna miss a single episode.

IPOB says it formed ESN to protect rural Igbo communities but others accuse the armed group of armed robbery, murder of unarmed civilians, fatal assaults on the police and theft of weapons.
By Taiwo-Hassan Adebayo
On January 25, 2021, many Hausa traders in a market in Orlu, Imo State, barely had a moment to process what they were seeing as vehicles stopped with a screech, masked gunmen jumped off and started shooting directly at them. The gunmen later set the market on fire.

“We just saw about four vehicles with correct, correct guns, driving wrong-way towards where we were,” said Ahmadu Ali, a leader in the market situated just behind the town’s stadium.

“They just opened fire pa-pa-pa-pa; there was no stop.”

Mr Ali said three people were shot dead and one Salisu Sala was burnt. He said other traders escaped through the stadium road, many of them with gunshot injuries.

He named those killed in the unprovoked attack as Usman Ali, Mohammed Rabiu and Nura Muhammadu.

Except for Nura, who was from Nigeria’s northwestern Sokoto State, the other dead victims were from Niger Republic, although of Hausa ethnic stock.

PREMIUM TIMES obtained horrific photographs showing the victims, lifeless and drenched in blood, and their cleaned remains, prepared for burial.

Also, we received still and motion pictures of the razed market. Mr Ali explained that the market was razed as the fire from Mr Sala’s body caught inflammable materials in his shop and quickly spread to other shops in the market.

“They were quite a number,” said Golden Marvin, who said he witnessed the attack. Mr Marvin identified the gunmen as members of a militia group, Eastern Security Network (ESN), because of the “inscriptions on their vehicles” and their clothing.

His claim was corroborated by the police who said some arrested members of the group confessed to the attack.

Several residents interviewed for this report said they witnessed the killings of the Hausa traders and how their shops were looted and destroyed.

Survivors said there was no help from the police as the attack on the market went on. The police did not deny this claim.

Hausa traders are now unable to trade at the market, leaving many of them in hardship, Mr Ali said.

In February, when PREMIUM TIMES interviewed him, he said he had just arrived from the neighbouring Anambra State “to find something from my brother for survival.”

“That was not the first time we would be attacked,” he said “But we don’t have a problem with anybody and those that died have passed. We just want to live in peace now. The government should protect us and support us to continue our trade.”

Since the attack on the market, at least 10 persons, including four soldiers and two women who were hit by stray bullets, have been killed in related violence in the town.

ESN is a new armed formation of the proscribed separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Nnamdi Kanu, seeking an independent state for the Igbo ethnic group from Nigeria. The separatists were initially unarmed and had been victims of massive extrajudicial killings by the armed forces and police between 2015 and 2016, a PREMIUM TIMES’ Global Shinning Light Award-winning investigation had uncovered.

IPOB’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told PREMIUM TIMES that ESN was formed to protect rural Igbo communities against violent herders in the face of the government’s alleged abdication of its duties. But ESN is doing much more than that, state government, residents, and security officials said, accusing the formation of criminal activities, including armed robbery, the murder of unarmed civilians, fatal assaults on the police and theft of weapons.

“What I fear is one of the effects of insurgency, which is instability that affects business and leads to a rise in criminality,” said Cheta Nwanze of Lagos-based SBM Intelligence. “Essentially, the so-called ‘protectors’, in this case the ESN, turning on the very people that they claim to be protecting.”

How soldiers were killed
Before the attack on the Hausa market, the gunmen, who had emerged from the Okporo-Umutanze axis of the town, first attacked a local police station but were repelled.

But as the gunmen left the market, apparently driving off to disappear into the bush, which had been their fortress, they came in contact with a passing military vehicle. Soldiers told PREMIUM TIMES that the vehicle was not on a combat mission.

“The soldiers were ambushed and four of them were killed,” a military source briefed on the attack told PREMIUM TIMES.

Among the four fallen soldiers was Olaoluwa Adedeji, a band personnel, whose family in Ibadan, South-western Nigeria, was contacted by PREMIUM TIMES.

The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, immediately declared a curfew and, based on his invitation, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army sent reinforcements.

A storm of gunfire followed.
After the joint operation kicked off, reports were rife, especially on social media, that the military was also targeting civilians in the area.

Asked if he saw the army targeting unarmed people, Mr Marvin said, “No,” and added, “But there were cases of stray bullets hitting people.” Asked to comment if the stray bullets “hitting people” were from the army or the suspected ESN operatives, he said, “Not sure…wouldn’t want to lie.”

Abraham, a commercial motorcyclist in the town, who said he witnessed the incident, said he saw two women killed by stray bullets.


A soldier with knowledge of the military intervention in Orlu said, “It was an ambush, an attack and four soldiers, out of others in the vehicle, died. There’s no way something like that would happen without the Nigerian Army sending out soldiers to rescue their remaining men and when it happens like that anything could be done, you know.”

The joint military operation that followed the killing of the soldiers has left some with fears Nigeria now has another armed group to engage, apart from terrorists and bandits tearing the country’s north. But analysts and security sources say the eastern threat is unlikely to be as disastrous as those in the North.

How hell was let loose
Although largely unknown to the public; that late January violence, as well as the immediate background to it, offered the largest measure of the increased radicalisation of the separatists, who state security and intelligence community believe are behind the rising cases of fatal assaults on the police in the south-eastern region.

The army and the police on one hand, and the ESN on the other, had had confrontations on a number of occasions but the closest before the January 25 violence was a military operation against the separatists at the end of the previous week.

Officials directly briefed about the operation said the army had gone to the bush where ESN operatives were camping, “to dislodge them.”

“So, the following Monday (January 25), they came out for reprisal,” said one of the officials, asking not to be named for lack of authority to speak to the press. “They had wanted to attack the police station but they were repelled before they went to attack the Hausa traders, killed four of them and set their market ablaze.”

But before the army “took the operation to dislodge them,” police had lost officers and weapons in attacks by the suspected ESN operatives, according to security sources.

According to a police record reviewed by PREMIUM TIMES, the police had suffered losses at least three times between December 24, 2020 (less than two weeks after ESN was inaugurated) and January 5. The police’s own record shows how weak the force had been in responding to ESN threats, resulting in yielding the ground to the army to lead.

One, the attack of December 24, 2020, left two police officers at a checkpoint dead from gunshots by suspected ESN operatives chasing a man, who was said to be driving a Lexus car and had gone to withdraw money from the bank, according to the record. The man was also killed by the suspected ESN operatives, who were alleged to have also taken away the rifles of the cops, according to the record.

Two, on December 27, 2020, two other police officers were shot dead and their rifles stolen at a checkpoint allegedly by ESN operatives, who were also accused of killing a civilian and stealing his car.

The third incident was on January 5 when Mobile Police personnel, who had chased suspected ESN operatives after “they collected a car from another man and moved to Okporo/Umutanze area,” were killed and their rifles stolen.

“While all these were going, the police were gathering intelligence based on which two men were arrested,” a senior police officer told PREMIUM TIMES, speaking to the record also reviewed by our reporter. “The two persons confessed to being IPOB and ESN members and they led the command operation to their camp somewhere around Okporo and Umutanze.

“A gun duel ensued and police retreated. But they killed a policeman and seized two rifles and two vehicles, one of which they burnt.

“Then, soldiers intervened to lead, while the police withdrew from the front to focus on intelligence,” the police source said. “That was the reason the army took that operation to dislodge them before their (ESN) reprisal of Monday, January 25.”

What’s fueling IPOB-ESN?
The renewed separatist struggle comes decades after the late Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu led the Igbo to pursue secession from Nigeria. The secession failed after a humanitarian disaster and millions of lives lost in a 30-month fratricidal war (1967-1970).

However, with Biafran sentiments undying among many Igbo, Mr Kanu formed IPOB in 2012 but gained significant prominence after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

Barely two years after his inauguration, Mr Buhari was speaking at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington DC, where he infamously said the part of the country that “gave me 97 per cent cannot be treated, in all honesty, the same way with the constituencies that gave me only five per cent.” The president was making an apparent reference to the outcome of the 2015 presidential election in which the South-east and the South-south massively supported his opponent and then incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan.

Seemingly divisive statements such as that made in the U.S. and perceived nepotism in filling political and security command offices may have provided Mr Kanu with some points to inflame intense secessionist passions, observers say.

Other factors, according to observers, such as the Buhari administration’s perceived bias in handling the troubles associated with herders – mostly of the same Fulani ethnicity as Mr Buhari – contesting for space with farmers, and deepening socio-economic hardship may have also helped Mr Kanu, known for his fiery commentaries and conspiracy theories.

Mr Kanu, a British-Nigerian, fled Nigeria after he was released on bail, in September 2017 amid a major standoff between the separatists and the army in his home state of Abia. It was then IPOB was proscribed and pronounced a terrorist organisation. His trial for treason remains open. But it appears the separatists are getting more radicalised and Mr Kanu remains popular among a significant number of Igbo youth.

“The main problem with the ESN, from my point of view, is a combination of frustration at governance and high unemployment, which has created a fertile ground for a demagogue to take root,” said Mr Nwanze.

“Unfortunately, the high-handedness of the federal response coupled with its one-sidedness in dealing with the various issues facing the country have effectively silenced voices in the South-east that would hitherto have provided a counterweight to the narrative pushed by IPOB, thus giving them more latitude than they’d have had a decade ago.”

During ground reporting in Imo State, while residents expressed concerns with the activities of the ESN, affirming they were involved in violence and criminal activities, some said they were self-conflicted, accusing the government of political marginalisation and failure to check herders’ aggression.

“We perceive their violent activities,” said Aloysius, an Orlu resident, who asked for his full name not to be used in this report over concern of being attacked by IPOB loyalists, referring to IPOB-ESN and highlighting their “strikes” targeting police and civilians. “But our people are crying over the menace of the Fulani herdsmen and the South-east has been politically marginalised.”

Stating further, Mr Nwanze said, “The data available to SBM shows that the South-east is still the least violent of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, but the army’s reaction in the region has always been overbearing, essentially feeding a vicious cycle. The region is ill-equipped for a battle of attrition, and if this situation deteriorates even further, Ndị Igbo will be the loser.”

Asked if he fears an insurgency could be emerging in the South-east, he said, “No, I do not fear an insurgency in the South-east because I don’t think it will happen.

However what I fear is one of the effects of insurgency, which is instability that affects business and leads to a rise in criminality. Essentially, the so-called “protectors”, in this case the ESN, turning on the very people that they claim to be protecting.

“As has happened with Amotekun in the South-west and the various Hisbah forces in the North, the ESN in the little time they have been around have shown that they are badly trained and have no idea of what due process and rule of law mean.

“The difference between them on one hand, and Amotekun/Hisbah on the other, is that they are non-state actors, so no one can put pressure on any state government officials if there’s a need to check them. It is only the FG that can act, and the current FG’s kind of reaction is always going to risk escalating the situation.”

“With strong response”
Since the January 25 violence, soldiers and police officers have continued to occupy the streets of Orlu and the military has conducted aerial operations to target the ESN operatives in Imo and neighbouring Anambra State.

Army spokesperson, Mohammed Yerima, did not categorically affirm there is an ongoing military operation targeting the ESN but he said, “If any group or subversive element is threatening the peace of the country and killing people, certainly the security will not fold their arms and look away. We must act.”

But the police spokesperson for Imo State, Ikeokwu Orlando, said, “it is a national issue. A not-so-full operation is ongoing and the army is leading.”
He said at least 15 members of the ESN had been arrested, with stolen rifles recovered.

IPOB’s lawyer, Mr Ejiofor, denied allegations that ESN had been involved in criminalities and said the military operation was in response to the ability of the ESN to check the herders.

“The federal government and the willing hand they have in Imo State don’t want that to happen, they don’t want herders to be stopped from killing our people,” he said. “The military should rather be deployed to where bandits have overrun in the north.”

But officials in the country’s security and intelligence community said the ESN had only emerged under the guise of protecting the people against herders.

“What’s the significance of the herdsmen’s violence in the South-east? ESN say they are protecting the people but they mask themselves, stay in the bush and only come out to attack people and the police and steal police rifles,” one official, an intelligence agent working on ESN matter, said.

“They are kept in the bush with weapons. Of course, their material needs would press them to go use the weapons to satisfy their needs. Who is feeding them, who is paying them and how are they getting their weapons, apart from those stolen from the police?”

However, the country’s security and intelligence community believes that with a “strong response” by the government, IPOB-ESN cannot present a significant threat compared to Boko Haram in the North-east or armed bandits in the North-west, the agent said, giving four reasons.

“One, the South-east does not have the kind of large forests that can aid guerilla warfare. Two, an Igbo does not have endurance like the Fulani and does not want to die. They easily confess and give out their own comrades and reveal their camps, with minimal force.

“Three, the South-east does not lie on land borders; so, that makes arms importation difficult for them and we think that is why they are attacking the police to steal weapons. Four, the neighbouring ethnic groups that have international borders like in Cross River State may not cooperate with them,” the agent said.

But Mr Nwanze canvassed job creation for the youth, not only in the South-east but nationwide, to deny “drivers” of trouble easy recruits as foot soldiers.

Nnamdi Obasi of the International Crisis Centre said the evolution of the threats from the South-east would depend on the government’s handling.

He advised against a “high-handed indiscriminate military operation” but stressed that attacks on the police must be “totally” stopped with “targeted response to actual people behind the attacks, not indiscriminate operation.”

Although many of my brother from Anambra state believe that I am Yoruba why many think I'm Fulani trying to cause problem between IMO state And Anambra state.

Sincerely we IMO people are not igbo but I blame white supremacy that mixed goat with sheep . Do you know why Alvan ikoku took zik to court in 1954? Zik as a premier of old Eastern Nigeria concentrated on building Anambra and he ignored the rest.

We IMO people are not igbo count us out of your useless Biafra.

I am Imo. From orlu area precisely.

Jones4190:
ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

You tell a very convincing tale designed to put out exactly what you want others to hear.

ObiOfOnistha:
There is no concrete or strict political foundational structure in Igbo land their leadership structure entwined to suit the money bag or lavish spender, obi, Eze or igwes becomes insignificant at the sight of financial capabilities of a mere member of the community, the opulent and financially stable ones can easily rule a community even when the igwe is there, he buys the council of elders and chiefs with enough colanuts and goats, it is chop and chop structure of the highest bidder, the rich can easily upsurge and infiltrate so called council of elders and leaders to dance to his tune, it is evident in the case of the coup plotting igwes in Anambra that went to Abuja to report the governor when a money bag instructed them to do such, that is also why there is lots and lots of competition and get rich quickly syndrome that ravages the society.

Very correct.

My people. Who no get money no get mouth.

Niger republic has working refineries because they don't have a subsidy.Fuel costs 350 naira there

Subsidy is what government pays marketers to keep their prices lower than the cost of production or sale in return for them not raising it. Unfortunately that money is hardly enough


Also bear in mind that government keeping prices below the cost of production as regards fuel and other refinables is why our refineries are down in tbe first place.

Subsidy or not, the government is clueless, spineless and useless. That's what I am saying.

By the NNPC just issued a counter statement and these idiots have deleted their prior statement as posted on thir website.
You kind of wonder who is really in control,
OH, Wait! Buhari is the minister of petroleum

Permit me to add confused to the listing above.

You are not ready for marriage you can't afford to support a woman well. Hustle a bit more.

Forget what people say about money not being able buy or happiness. If you really wanna enjoy both you go pay well.

Godarz:
Well, the refinereis don't wrk because the government has since the late 1970's been subsidisng fuel...meaning that they force fuel to be sold at a lower price than the cost of production

This meant that there wasn't enough profit being made to fix refinereis....which worsened the bad state at NNPC

Once the refienreis went kaput in 2010/11, we strated importing fuel, and paying for the fuel to be sold at a cost lower than the cost of import...which means we spend a big chunk of our income keeping fuel prices low.

But you cannot do that forever. The cost of refining fuel is always rising...and so is the amount of money meant to subsidise it. Which is why in five years we ran through N4 trillion subsidisng fuel....money that could have been used to fix refienreies.

Also smuggling happens because all our neighbours don't sell fuel at the price we do. They sell it for higher prices...over N300...which is why there is smuggling. We sell it here at N162. Who no go smuggle? and make a clean proifit?

Remove subsidy,allow them makreters to contrl the price...and in return for high pricers, we get more refinereis built...with private money....to take advantage of the profits in the sector.

You get the problem but the cause.

Subsidy has nothing to do with selling the product below production costs. No, sir, no one does that. Even the water cooperation don't.

Subsidy has to do with keeping the prices below normal world prices.

Oil from Rivers state or Imo + production costs at refinery = petrol below 100 naira.
This is what I am telling you. But those refineries will never work cos of corruption. These people make more from corruption.
Common, think,.. Niger Republic has working refineries for gods Sake!


Furthermore, our neighbor sell fuel way higher than you think. The interesting thing to understand is they do this using tankers that drive all along the highway and across out borders with customs, police and immigration waving them on. Go to seme border at midnight and you won't belive your eyes.


The government is killing it's people but the masses don't even know that.

Well, removign subsides would improve things...but Bubu won't do that...so here we are still wasting trillions on subsidy.

Also, we are n't earning enough from oil to subsidse it totally...plus when we were subsidsing it...we were losing millions to smuiggling, and stealing.

We are an oil producing country. We get the oil from the ground for Free!
If our refineries worked and we added just 20 naira to refining cost petrol will not be more than 80 naira per liter and government will still make profit domestically. And then there is international sales.
Iran and Venezuela do just that and their money no better than paper. They both have the cheap petrol prices in the world domestically but sell oversea at high rates.

Corruption and bad Gove nave is the reason those refineries don't work
It's the reason why smuggling exists
It's the reason why subsidy, which works well in most nations, doesn't work Here.

Check well, Ruwanda subsidies almost everything that makes life tolerable in that tiny land country, from food to house rent,

I lived over a year in seme border area and saw the smuggling thing you are talking about first hand. It's goes on all night, every night. The funny thing is its the customs officers that man the gates and search lights there and the smugglers waltz past then in their ancient car tanks all night... who collect settle I wonder.

When we want all this rubbish to stop it will stop.
