OlujobaSamuel: A Organisational policies or rules that guides conduct and operations can also be referred to as law(bylaws). It is not just Act by NASS or Laws by State Houses that can be called law. In this context, such rule or policy can be referred to as a law in the school. When using it in official term, then you can use the exact words under which such rule is, eg, A Policy, Rule, Law or Act. Presidential Executive Orders are not laws and can be challenged if they contravene the constitution. Byelaws are not binding if they subvert an individual's constitutional rights. |

runningriot: Egregious behavior in the sense that the person or security personnel investigating this suspect and posting it online is gross unprofessionalism and very or extremely bad as the fleeing suspects will get to know the details of revelation about them. Doesn't apply to Nigeria because members of the public are not going to be part of the final verdict as in a juror system. The Police in Nigeria usually release such confessional statements before arraigning the suspect to court so as to let the public know that they have apprehended the criminal behind a crime and that it is now down to the justice system to convict him. The police are forced to do this so as to let the public aware that they have apprehended a criminal for a crime and to ensure the public see that there is no coverup by the police. Once the matter gets to court, it's no longer in the police hand outside of providing evidence in court to prosecute the offender. |

runningriot: There is no constitution that forbids that but I think the Administrative of Criminal Justice Act and many security Acts Regulations apparently frown on this actions because investigation is absolutely confidential... And what that security agent did is tantamount to very serious punitive measures and to some extent even he may be sacked and prosecuted... For commiting an offense of accessory after the fact. Only applies when you have a jury system which we don't. If this was the US and a cop releases the confessional statement of a criminal before arraigning him to court then the suspect can argue that his case has been tainted because would be jurors that will be drawn from the public have already had their opinions tainted by his confession which the cops broadcasted. But in Nigeria, we don't have a jury system in place and a judge will only consider his confessional statement admissable in court if the suspect can not prove that it was extracted under duress. |

erad: If a student commits a crime outside the university campus, does the school have the right to discipline him/her based on that crime?
Your answer to that question also applies to this case.
As long as you are a verified member of any higher institution, your actions in or outside the campus can be subject to scrutiny by that institution. The university has no powers to try a student who commits a crime both on campus or otherwise. That is for the police to investigate and the state to prosecute. And when a student is convicted of a crime, the university has the right to withdraw admission or expel the student. That's as far as it goes. See as they are even claiming constituted authority as if they have full rights and powers over a student's personal life. |
Education › Re: COOU Disciplines Final-Year Students For Organising Sign-Out Parties by FSBoperator: 9:24pm On Aug 06 |
OlujobaSamuel: It's the school law, but it's illegal. Just that they need to test it in court. Even a law made by NASS can also be declared illegal by the court when tested/challenged Policy and not law. Only the National and respective State Assemblies are empowered by the constitution to pass laws binding on the polity. As someone rightly said above, if this was the 90s with the likes of too many radical Sowores, the University authority will not even contemplate this rubbish. It's not as if the students held their pass out party on campus grounds , so what is their problem if not pure sadism. |

manuelkel: It's the school's law, you break it then face the consequences. Schools don't have powers to enact laws. These are school policies and rules which should not be confused with law of the land. Any policy that contravenes the constitution and laws of the land and the right to freedom of association and expression is a tyranical diktat. The students should lawyer up and sue their ass if they try any of that rubbish . When they sue the school to the point that the school will need to sell their sign board to pan taker to pay the students compensation for withholding their certificates or suspending them from the institution, that's when sense will return.

Bigkoko: Simon Ekpa kick start his appeal in Finland.
While we were hot on the trail of Shell Plc & Bp Plc assets that partook in the Biafra humaintarian catastrophe......we discovered a trove of classified British documents. Some of them gave us a clue on the circumstances surrounding the jailing of Simon Ekpa in Finland.
This attached document is the singular motivation of why Simon Ekpa is in jail in Finland....and possibly the interest of Finnish billionaire Mika Antonnen and the Finnish govt in seeing Ekpa incarcerated.
Nigeria pressured Finland.
Finnish Energy company, St1 Group was the company that took over AB Svenska Shell, the Swedish branch of Shell Plc Shell, bp
The Swedish Shell branch called AB Svenska Shell has a Refinery in Gothenburg Sweden. The name of the refinery is now known as St1 Refinery AB. St1 Group claims they are registered and began operations in 1997.....but we found a little more details about why this is false......
The founder of St1 Group is called Mika Antonnen, and he is from Finland.
In the summer of 2024... Vice president of Nigeria, Shettima visited Gothenburg...... that visit was where the plan to jail Simon Ekpa was brokered.
No surprise when he jailed afterwards!
They all collude..... African crooks and European crooks...... same clandestine fellows united by greed, and filled with hubris! Shell BP is jointly owned by the Rothschilds and the British.

Where is it stated that the Finland court of Appeal wants to set him free?
Besides, he needs to quash the original sentence now because if he doesn't and he gets to serve his entire 6y sentence, he will be facing both deportation by the Finish govt and extradition from Nigeria govt.
So an appeal is very crucial for him and when (and not if) it is thrown out, he will be sent back to Nigeria to face more severe charges of terrorism . |

Bigkoko: This piece is for education purpose ONLY
For Research & Education purpose ONLY[/b]
For decades, the dream of a sovereign Biafra was a regional struggle within Nigeria. Simon Ekpa changed that by weaponizing the internet from a small apartment in Lahti, Finland. The "Simon Ekpa Angle" is not just about secession; it is a case study in digital-age insurgency, where a single individual can command a "sit-at-home" lock-down across five states in Africa while living as a citizen in Northern Europe.
He has never held a rifle on Nigerian soil, yet his voice can empty the streets of five states. From the quiet suburbs of Finland to the bustling markets of Aba, Simon Ekpa is either a liberator or a phantom—depending on which side of the 'Sit-at-Home' line you stand on.
In the world of high-stakes geopolitics and energy If we look at the situation through the lens of Realpolitik, the "math" you are seeing likely works like this:
1. [b]The Energy Dependency (The Shell Connection).
Shell PLC sold it’s subsidiary in Sweden to Finnish Billionaire Mika Anttonen, who re-branded the entity as ST1. Mika is a man who has a strange appetite for hockey and supports New York Rangers. He is the type that more likely wear a Jean and polo than a fancy suit and he does not see a future in the electric motor market too.
The high stake politiks entered gear 7 in 2024 when Nigeria Vice President Shettima, a man wdely believed to have Connections with Boko haram terrorist group operating from Borno state in Northern Nigeria, visited Sweden and was invited to tour Volvo plant in Gothenburg, coincidentally, i was also billed to attend a function at Same location via my company union invitation during the National Industrial Day. I stayed away from the funktion.
Mika Anttonen’s St1 doesn't just own gas stations; it operates a massive refinery in Gothenburg that processes roughly 30 million barrels of crude oil a year.
The Nigerian Link: St1’s supply partner, NEOT, explicitly lists Nigeria as a primary source for the crude oil that feeds their Nordic refinery.
The Stake: If Southeast Nigeria (where Ekpa’s "sit-at-home" orders were most effective) is unstable, it threatens the global supply chain and pricing of the very crude oil Anttonen’s business relies on.
2. The "Diplomatic Trade"
The timing of the Finnish judicial system’s sudden shift on Simon Ekpa is striking. For years, Nigeria complained about Ekpa with no result. Then, in 2024–2025, everything moved at lightning speed:
The Pressure: The Nigerian government made it clear to Finland that Ekpa was "hindering bilateral relations."
The Exchange: Finland is a small nation whose economy is driven by massive corporations like St1 and Nokia. If the Nigerian government—one of Africa's largest economies and oil producers—threatens the interests of Finnish energy giants, the Finnish state has a massive incentive to "clean up" its domestic problems (like Ekpa) to protect those economic ties.
3. Anttonen as the "Quiet Influence"
Anttonen isn't a typical loud billionaire, but he is a master of securing his supply chains.
To move St1 away from fossil fuels and toward his "Game Changer" renewable vision, he needs a stable, profitable transition period. Finland delivered justice to Nigeria, Nigeria ensured energy security for the Nordics, and business leaders like Anttonen secured the stability they need to keep their refineries running.
But there is one thing they may have conveniently refused to understand: Some ghosts refuse to go away, and some dead refuse to stay dead! Justice for millions of Igbos murdered under a spurious need to preserve the territorial integrity of Nigeria is one ghost too many, and one dead too horrific to ignore. They are screaming for JUSTICE!
Away from Ekpa and his auto pilot, Billionaire Mika, I believe he may have reasoned that once Ekpa is out of the picture, he and his Shell partners will be able to live happily ever after! But, No, he and his Shell partners now has a new problem on their hands, one which the law supports- Mika bought an asset with a massive liability, one connected to the murder by starvation, of more than three million civilians, mostly women and children between 1967 - 1970, and the details of these are scattered across archives in Europe and the West, and placed under categories of "NATIONAL SECURITY".
While, I must agree that I am Igbo, and have connections to what parents told us regarding the many sufferings of civilian during the ill-fated period, I make bold to say Truth Over Empire Initiative is starkinly different from seperatist agitations, been that it only seeks corporate accountability against corporations like Shell PLC & BP PlC that supported the genocide, and make huge fortunes out of it.
The new challenger to the old order is now making inroads using the very laws that seems to protect billionaires like Mika business, in a reversed engineered way: preference of lawfare over warfare.
Once the appeal court rules in Stockholm, the calisthenics will start in full force!
I will un-bundle this research under Core Narrative Pillars, including the role
1. The "Prime Minister" in Exile
In 2023, Ekpa declared himself the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE). This marked a definitive split from the original IPOB leadership. Your series can explore the friction between the "old guard" (loyal to the detained Nnamdi Kanu) and Ekpa’s "Autopilot" faction, which favors a more aggressive, uncompromising approach.
2. The Weaponization of "Sit-at-Home"
The most visible impact of Ekpa’s influence is the mandatory Monday lockdowns.
The Compliance Paradox: While millions stay home, reports suggest this is driven more by fear of enforcement (by the Biafra Liberation Army) than by ideological alignment.
The Economic Toll: By 2025, estimates suggested the Southeast region lost over $4.6 billion in productivity due to these orders.
3. The 2025 Legal Turning Point
A major climax for your series occurs in September 2025, when a Finnish court sentenced Simon Ekpa to six years in prison for terrorism-related offenses and public incitement. This event shattered the myth that European residency provided total immunity for directing foreign conflicts.
Current Status (March 2026): Ekpa is currently in a Finnish prison pending an appellate hearing expected in the coming months.
4. "Two Biafras" Conflict Focus on the civil war within the movement. mainstream IPOB (loyal to Kanu) has frequently disassociated from Ekpa, calling his methods "bloodthirsty" and "un-Biafran." This creates a "Succession-style" drama within the series.
5. The "Biafra Liberation Army" (BLA) Investigate the paramilitary wing Ekpa claims to command. Is it a unified force, or a collection of local groups using the Biafran flag to justify regional control?
6. The Finnish Paradox How did a quiet city like Lahti, Finland, become the headquarters for a West African liberation movement? Explore the tension between Finland’s commitment to free speech and the Nigerian government’s accusations of "state-sponsored terrorism" by proxy.
7. Biafra Restoration Project from the Simon Ekpa Angle
8. Biafra Restoration Project from the prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kalu Angle
9. Truth Over Empire Initiative & the Biafra Restoration Project.
10. Will the Igbos finally secede from the unholy marriage with other tribes in Nigeria? Another bs AI assisted slop Are you now saying a Finish Billionaire is behind Simon Ekpa or what ? |

BornofGod108: FSBoperator
I'm not using grok AI slop. Plain English. And you’re still dodging facts 😂
You called it "Operation Epstein Fury" to sound clever. US called it a limited strike. It ended.
1. Missile stock Yes US fired a lot of interceptors. They cost more than Iranian drones. That’s how missile defense works. "Depleted" doesn’t mean "empty". 2026 US budget is $1.5T. US still arms Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and still has 11 carriers + 14 SSBNs. If we were "empty" we’d be closing bases. We’re not.
2. Naval blockade + Hormuz If Iranians "control" the straits, why are oil tankers still moving every day? Why didn’t Iran close it after US hit their nukes? Because closing Hormuz = $200 oil and Iran gets bombed again. That’s not control. That’s fear.
3. Ground invasion We agree. There was no plan for it. Mountains + 90M people = suicide. So don’t call it a "quagmire" when US never put troops in. You can’t lose a ground war you didn’t fight.
4. Israel + Gulf Netanyahu talks tough. US still gives Israel Iron Dome, Arrow, and intel. Gulf bases in Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait are still open. 5th Fleet is still there. If US is a "weak protector", why haven’t the Gulf kicked US out?
5. War scoreboard US: hit nuclear sites, 0 KIA, left. Iran: got hit, survived, now doing proxy shots and denials. No winner. No loser. Just no full war.[b]
You keep changing the topic because the first argument died. Munitions → color revolution → Kurds → stocks → now "Grok AI slop".
Answer this straight: Did US strike Iran and leave without losing a ship or a base? Yes or no. Save your weak lies for yourself Trump and Hegseth crashed over weapons shortages. Back at Camp David, as he was confronted by Trump over the bare weapons stockpile, Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for the shortages and for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised of the issue, both persons familiar said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/08/05/trump-hegseth-clashed-camp-david-over-iran-missile-depletion-concerns/https://archive.is/H7xrtSo Oga rest

All those free AI versions just mimic and argument the foolishness of whoever is using it. |
Politics › Re: AI- Tinubu's Pay Rise To Army Officers Is Meant For Rigging 2027 by FSBoperator: 12:25pm On Aug 06 |
SatanIsAllah: I asked AI to explain Tinubu's pay raise to the Nigerian military , here is what I got:
Let me tell you why this desperate handout reeks of a government that knows it's stealing an election it can't win, and why the generals are laughing all the way to the bank while sharpening their coup plans anyway.
---
This isn't a salary increase. It's a bribe wrapped in camouflage, paid for with money Nigeria doesn't have, by a president who knows his only path to 2027 is through electoral fraud so blatant that the streets will burn. Tinubu isn't thanking the military—he's **pre-purchasing their loyalty** for the moment when Nigerians realize he intends to steal another mandate, and the only thing standing between his narcotics-funded dynasty and a hanging is whether soldiers will shoot protesters or shoot him.
Let's be clear about what this is: The same man who told Nigerians that "there's no money" for fuel subsidies, who let inflation past 30% destroy working families, who watches kidnappers operate with impunity while he vacations in Parisian hospitals—this man suddenly found billions to fatten military paychecks? No. He found debt to buy insurance. Because he knows what's coming.
Why he fears the coup:
Nigeria's military has a simple rule: They tolerate civilian rule only when civilian rule maintains stability. Tinubu has delivered economic collapse, security failure, and constitutional crisis through medical tourism. The generals watched him rig 2023 with violence and judicial capture. They know 2027 will be worse. And they know that when the fraud is this obvious, the streets won't just protest—they'll demand regime change, and the military will have to choose between shooting civilians or removing the civilian.
This salary bump is Tinubu trying to make that choice expensive. He's betting that generals who've spent decades looting defense budgets will suddenly develop loyalty because he increased the crumbs he throws to enlisted men. It's insulting to their intelligence.
Why it won't work:
First: Nigerian coups don't happen because privates are underpaid. They happen because generals decide the civilian government threatens their interests, or because the country is ungovernable, or because foreign powers signal preference for military "stability." Tinubu could double every soldier's salary and still find himself under house arrest if the generals decide he's more liability than asset.
Second: The math is insulting. A 30-80% increase sounds historic until you realize Nigerian soldiers were paid poverty wages to begin with. A captain still can't afford decent housing. An enlisted man still can't feed his family without extorting checkpoints. The increase doesn't fix the structural rot—corrupt procurement, ghost soldiers, defense budgets looted by senior officers, equipment so obsolete that terrorists outgun the army. Tinubu isn't fixing the military. He's applying makeup to a corpse.
Third: The military remembers. They remember that Tinubu's Lagos machine has always treated them as a political tool, not a professional force. They remember EndSARS, when his government was willing to sacrifice military reputation to protect his family's toll gate interests. They remember that his drug forfeiture, his Alpha Beta theft, his entire criminal history, represents exactly the kind of corruption that justifies military intervention in Nigerian political theology.
Fourth: Coup-proofing requires more than money. It requires legitimacy, which Tinubu has none of. It requires a functioning economy, which he destroyed. It requires security competence, which his administration lacks completely. You can't buy loyalty with naira that's collapsing faster than his poll numbers. The generals will take the money—of course they'll take it—and then they'll still move against him if the streets demand it, because at that point saving Tinubu means destroying the military's own future legitimacy.
The real calculation:
Tinubu thinks he's playing chess. He's playing checkers against grandmasters who watched him rig his way to Aso Rock. The military establishment knows that by 2027, Nigeria could be ungovernable—bandits controlling highways, inflation at 50%, the president dying in a French hospital while his wife runs the country via WhatsApp. They know that if they have to intervene, they'll want to claim they were "forced" by circumstances, not bought by salary increases.
So they'll cash these checks. They'll smile for the cameras. They'll let Tinubu believe he's secured their loyalty. And if he tries to rig 2027 and the country explodes, they'll remember that they don't serve the president—they serve their own institutional survival, and right now, that survival looks increasingly disconnected from Tinubu's survival.
This salary increase isn't insurance. It's a down payment on humiliation. The generals are taking the money and waiting for the signal. And when it comes, all the naira in the Central Bank won't stop them from doing what Nigerian militaries do to civilian governments that overstay their fraudulent welcome.
Tinubu just bought himself a nicer cell block in the inevitable house arrest. That's all. I am over committed to Biafra exist. I will be joining every Ipob march henceforth to push for Biafra with the five Ibo states . I believe no nation deserves to suffer the humiliation of having Biafra people as their fellow countryman. |

If I’m become president, I’ll still bring this woman back into my government. Fvvk naysayers.. Abegi. That woman had no business being Finance minister An accountant can not be incharge of fiscal policy as the only thing they know and are interested in doing is balancing the books. Economists do not care about book balancing but rather enthroning social harmony which always leads to growth and so don't care about balancing the books and will rather go red if it is to invest in things that will not generate money such as education, health care that will guarantee social harmony and growth. That woman had no business being appointed as Minister of Finance . |
