There is no polling unit on Social Media..

Go out on saturday and vote for your preferred candidate.

This is painful mehn.. RIP to the deceased.

Our people say.. ko si kekere irinajo.
You moving from your gate to the next junction on your street is as risky as you travelling from Lagos to Maiduguri by road.

May God give their families the fortitude to bear the loss

You are not entirely correct. Adding secession clause then, wouldn't effect anything in present day Africa . Let's take for instance, your right to speech in a Constitution which claims to be secular but has a religious criminal code; why are you being attacked for free speech?
There are so many events from '67 till date, that your Constitution frowns at but somehow, have found a way to be forgotten because of one simple mistake;
" the amalgamation of immiscible fluid (oil and water) in 1914"

This mistake was to be corrected in Aburi, but Gowon looked the other way.

The mistake was from Zik and his followers.. the Whites gave room for our people to choose what they wanted in the constitution but Zik scuffled the whole process laying accusations up and down.

Moreover the aburi accord is NULL & VOID in the face of the law cos it was put together hurriedly by soldiers without consent of elected representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Gowon couldn't have honored such agreement.

He is the sitting Vice President for crying out loud.. The SW governors and speaker house of reps are doing a great job already.

I hope they lock shops so y'all won't see sniper to buy after saturday..this obsession is just too much.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
Vote Peter Obi, if you want Ekpa to lose his relevance and love Nigeria so much.

You obviously didn't watch the video.. Ekpa confirmed that Peter Obi has over 15 million dollars in offshore accounts as exposed by Pandora leaks.
You my friend are a tribalist worse than Ekpa if you think Obi is a saint because he is your tribesman

That's the illegality and violence from the Nigerian state he is talking about. Why should a mere word earn you a bullet if it isn't a jungle? And why shouldn't you apply all logical action to escape such union?

The irony is that Nnamdi Azikiwe fondly called Zik of Africa, an Igbo man like Simon Ekpa fought against the inclusion of secession clause in our constitution with the statement.. "Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable". That was what empowered Aguiyi Ironsi, the then Military head of state, also an Igbo man to go full force on Adaka Boro and his men, all Niger Deltans when they asked for their own republic away from Eastern region.
The same law was used on Ojukwu when he declared the republic of biafra and no country could interfere, not even Great Britain.

You see in this life.. What goes around comes around. Had it been Zik listened to Obafemi Awolowo (a lawyer) back then to have secession clause enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria so that no one tribe will trample on rights of other ethnic groups, Nigeria would have probably been the greatest country on earth now devoid of Fulani and herders killings.

This is why we have to return history to our schools so our young ones can learn and avoid repeat of past mistakes.

Lol. But you know the national assembly can't fly the issue of referendum because of the assembly structure?
So you're wrong.
There is no fast way to get referendum , especially in Africa.

Well you might be correct in a way.. but for Ekpa with Military training, he ought to know the "oath of office" most soldiers are bound by. "Obedience before complain and you obey the last order". That's Government for you, REAL POWER.

The mere mention of biafra in front of a soldier can earn you a headshot and nobody will hold the soldier accountable for murder.. Check the Oputa panel for example, the presiding Justice made it clear the soldiers were not on trial in any way but to give their own account of events. Reason the issue of secession or referendum is delicate.

First time I'm watching anything Ekpa.. the guy is actually sound and looks smart but he is pushing way too far. Threatening a soverign state and international community likewise is a no no..

The fastest way to any referendum is to start from the National Assembly, not private individuals or groups issuing threats. If all the Igbos in the National Assembly and Federal civil service put forward their resignation en masse that they no longer wish to be part of the system, I believe the Nigerian government would have no choice than to take them seriously.

Issuing threats to a country like Nigeria won't materialize into biafra.. Ojukwu that tried it and fought war later begged and even contested for elections in Nigeria years after the war.
Nobody or region has monopoly of violence.. Fulanis dey jump jump because their person is in power, not that they are special or brutal than the others.

I call my friends wives.. Iyawo or amaria.
How is Iyawo or how is amaria..

@OP What gives you the effrontery to be calling your friend's wife by her name?.. is she your girlfriend or blood relation?

Even when an old man with grown up kids marry a much younger woman.. the woman automatically becomes their step mother and they must regard her as that regardless of age.

Rural ruggeds dey gyrate.. @OP don't catch ideas.
The song sweet sha but it's inappropriate

Notice it's southerners they are always trying their shlt with.. Na dagger and suya knife wey sharp pass anything ab0kis go use slice their throats if dem try rubbish reach North.

The records are there.. the most slaughtered ethnic group in the country after cattle.. check history of pogroms in the North up to Middle Belt and the cause of those genocides. You'd see they were the loud mouths provoking Northerners.

He has been going around saying he'll cut cost of governance.. How? I assume he is planning a massive downsizing of federal civil service where he'd keep only Igbos cos na only them be saints, na only them sabi work.

National Assembly memvers are there earning jumbo pay, earning the highest take home in the world whereas Nigeria is in massive debt.. he won't see that one.

The same Obi they are trying to sell refused to pay workers the minimum wage as at the time he was governor. Imagine the kind of clashes, disputes and court cases that kind of person will be having with labour and the joint workers union in Nigeria.

I remember saying something like 15yrs back on agitations and Miltancy in Nigeria... I think the whole thing started with President Yar'adua's amnesty for militants in the Niger Delta region.. I said other regions too will form their militant groups to get amnesty and share of national cake. Look at Bokoharam and call for amnesty, Ipob and call for amnesty, bandits etc.

Those behind all these agitations feel cheated, reason a Southerner should take over from PMB and after 8years, the North gets the chance.

Make FFK sorry o.. wishing him quick recovery. They must have grilled him like grilled fish for him to land in hospital.

Maybe na coma Emefiele go enter once he is caught.

Kingsley34:
You better start getting ready to behold his portrait in every single you approach come may 2023

but no enter depression oh

A winner will emerge in the coming presidential election that I and my household are bound by law to accept and support.

A man like Datti whom I thought was even intelligent than his running mate turned out even worse.. making careless statements in a democracy as if it's Military dictatorship we are in. So unwise of him to make such statements on recordl.

Failure + dictator (abi imbe.cile sef) ticket in LP.. may tyranny and suffering not be our portion. Amin.

@OP Tell that mistress that another woman will possess her man and drive him crazy.. what goes around comes around. 'O do oko oloko, won ma do oko ti e no'

You ruined another woman's home and expect to settle in peace.. No na, karma has to do its work.

Atiku is even better than that Datti.. kai, that guy talks like a dictator.
IImagine a learned person asking why governors should have immunity.. na so una desperate reach? Tufia!

Emefiele, Mr treason Datti and co... how market?

In my humble submission.. religion has done more harm to the Nigerian state than alcohol.
Most people behind terrorism are clergymen turned fanatics who use religion and verses in their respective holy books to radicalize and weaponize their vulnerable followers.

Should we now say religion should be banned in Nigeria?

Notice I didn't mention any religion but we know the ones prone to extremism.

geniusaustin:
CHAI! IF TO SAY THIS BATTALION KNOW THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO ZAMBISA FOREST.

The Military guys are here to maintain law and order.. no room for senseless destructions in Lagos.
If you like no hear.. shebi you get two lives.

Na so dem dey warn Ojukwu then wey he dey do gra gra up and down.. he even went to eat asun in Ghana with Gowon before start of civil war.

Just a masterstroke from superior Intelligence of the Yorubas defeated Ojukwu and his biafra army.. "No be currency dem see dey spend to buy food and weapons? change that currency"..
Na wetin defeat Ojukwu and all his international allies be that.. after looting the CBN and stashing enough currency notes to prosecute the war, ended up in exile after heavy defeat and casaulties.

These folks don't know they are at the mercy of Yorubas in Nigeria.. ogbon ju agbara lo.
If you see a man intelligent than you are, respect him and be humble.

YoungBlackRico:
To put you ibo miscreants in check no doubt, the werey wey una no fit perform for una region no come perform am for Lagos , there will never be another endsarrs madness in Lagos, cus na una plan come 27th

Yorubas will say.. 'okete to boru, ko salo, o sun ojo iku e siwaju ni'.
You do one run, e sweet you.. you wan come back for part 2.

E go shock all those arsonists.. those that love destruction will be destroyed eventually. Interesting times ahead.

Anambra is PDP for presidential election and APGA for governorship.. Zombiedients don't know politics.

Obi ma lule in his own home state.. He is busy visiting markets in Lagos where he won't see up to 5 percent votes. Which Igbo man will leave his business to go and queue to vote Obi? ordinary mega rally, dem no gree turn up.

Pray that elections hold to avoid anarchy.. k'olomo kilo f'omo re.
Naija go hot in the coming days with the way things are going..

Nice development.. let's see the Ipobs that will gather at Lekki to cry foul after their fraud comes a distant fifth or worse in the coming election. If PSquare, Marcaroni, Falz and co. like, they should go and block roads or constitute nuisance, na their dead bodies dem go carry come back.

Oshey.. intel chief with legit intels from Aso rock. dey play.

Wailing go soon start on this thread.. ndi equity and fairness.

You think say election na nzobu nzobu child's play.. No polling unit on social media.

Yaribanzaonic:
[b]You are hungry...go eat. Do you actually read what you write before dropping foolish yarns??
You Agbado supporters that are even paid to support who you claim to love is pathetic.

Una be beta muguu..spits[/b

Na you jump into my mentions.. still dey cry on top.
Bia take sweet go lick.. no be me koba you and Peter Obi.

Hendrixky:
Don't worry

The world is already seeing you guys as the problem of Nigeria

Because they are shocked with the ways things are with tinubu still you guys are supporting him

It was not only my Ghanaian friend that mentioned this about yorubas are the problem of Nigeria

A friend of mine from Benin Republic mentioned it before this earlier

Alot of

None from Ivory coast and Togo?... dey mum.u yourself.

porka:
A section of the leaders in southwest has shown that all the pretenses to good morals are useless after all.

All the so-called southwest avowed moral high grounds are demonstrably useless as at today, as per the embrace of a morally deficient individual as their preferred candidate among the very excellent hardworking millions of Yoruba people across the world.

What these leaders are clearly saying is to the youths is that yahoo yahoo, drug trafficking, fake identity and other deficient morals are not important for leadership.

All that matters to this tiny section of individuals is just money.

The youths have mostly internalized this and are not interested in doing what is right again.

How this set of corrupt minds gained prominence in the southwest to drown the voices and influences of the very upright majority is baffling.

Coincidentally, other interest groups are awaiting the time when these particular leaders in the southwest would raise issues with anyone's morality in the country.

Pele o.. self appointed Minister for Yoruba affairs.

Your own youths now see drug trafficking as full time job... crystal meth, cannabis sativa, indian hemp and other hard drugs prohibited by law are their new found jobs due to the failure of your societies in Igboland. Able bodied Igbo young men in their thousands on death row in prisons across Asia and Europe waiting to be killed and Yoruba is your problem.

Cannibalism is on the all time high in Igboland today, yet you're not bothered.. it's Yoruba and their choice of candidate that is giving you headache.

I no blame una sha.. it's people like Tinubu that gave you people liver to be making sounds in Lagos

Cry us a river.. wailer!

We told you back then when GEJ marginalized Yorubas and Igbos were rejoicing that nothing for SE in this Nigeria again.. not with Yoruba support.
Una eyes don dey clear small small.. your Ipob project is going nowhere.
