Osagyefo98: IPOB: Nigerians in America write Trump, seek immediate clampdown on emerging terror group
A Forum of Nigerian Professionals in Atlanta, Georgia, has urged United States President, Donald Trump, to put measures to in place to stamp out the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) terror activities. These well-meaning Nigerians made this known in a letter jointly signed by Pat Alao- Moses and Moses Omotosho, its President and Vice-President, addressed to The White House on Friday. According to the professionals, the piece was necessitated by IPOB’s persistent threat to their compatriots in the US and other parts of the world. The group reminded President Trump of IPOB’s long-history of intolerance, disregard for constitutional authorities, bloodshed as well as failed attempts to constitute itself into a parallel government. It is on this premise the Nigerians called on the US to activate all the necessary mechanisms towards ensuring that IPOB members are well-monitored. Being a terrorist group in Nigeria, the Forum advised Mr. Trump to set up firewalls to deny fugitive leader Nnamdi Kanu entry into the country – else a repeat of the unfortunate 9/11 attack could be on the cards. Mr. President may wish to recall that the Nigerian authorities recently raised a red flag on the activities of a group operating under the name Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This is on the heels of the attack on a former Deputy President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Germany by members of this group. Mr. President may wish to be informed that the history of IPOB in Nigeria is replete with tales of blood and sorrow, and they have attempted to constitute themselves into a parallel government in Nigeria which was resisted by the Nigerian military. IPOB as a group has exhibited a great disdain for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has in times too numerous to mention declared the creation of Biafra from the Nigerian state. Mr. President, the nefarious activities of IPOB in Nigeria is not limited to confronting security agencies, burning down police patrol vehicles, attacking critical government infrastructures such as oil pipelines, government buildings, and vehicles, as well as killing and maiming innocent Nigerians who do not share in their ideology. Mr. President, the last three years in Nigeria, has witnessed an uprising by IPOB, which has consequently resulted in avoidable deaths of over 300 innocent people that consists mainly of women and children. This action prompted the Nigerian security agencies to move to address the situation quickly, and in the process, its leader, Nnamdi Kanu escaped from Nigeria alongside many of his lieutenants to other parts of the world including the United States of America. Mr. President, you may wish to know that IPOB now has links with global terrorist networks and its continued operations in the United States of America may have far-reaching consequences for the safety of the lives of American citizens. Mr. President may wish to see the threat posed by IPOB as real, and therefore there is an urgent need to activate all the necessary mechanism towards ensuring that IPOB members that dot the nook and cranny of the United States of America are monitored and consequently shown the way out of the United States. Mr. President may wish to know that in Nigeria, IPOB has been proscribed as a terrorist organization and its leader Nnamdi Kanu jumped bail in his ongoing treasonable felony trial before a Federal High Court. Nnamdi Kanu as its stands is a fugitive on the run, and there is a tendency that he might seek to enter the United States of America from where he can coordinate the activities of IPOB. Mr. President, we consequently wish to inform you that IPOB members are scattered across in the United States of America and they have been suspected to be holding nocturnal meetings at residences, offices, restaurants, pubs, clubs to evade the prying eyes of the security agencies. Mr. President, we are afraid for the consequences of the continued existence of IPOB in the United States of America and wish to send an SOS to you to do all within your powers to nip in the mud the threat posed by the presence of IPOB in the United States of America. Mr. President, the Forum of Nigerian Professionals Atlanta-Georgia, USA, is sending an SOS to you to ensure that Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is not granted permission to enter the United States of America under whatever guise. This is because his presence might have unpleasant consequences for Nigerians residents in the United States and who do not share in the ideology of his terrorist group, as well as Americans who are going about their daily endeavours. Mr. President, The Forum of Nigerian Professionals in Atlanta-Georgia, USA is counting on the support of the United States to protect every citizen and residents of the United States of America from the terrorist activities of IPOB. Mr. President, the unfortunate attack of 9/11 is still fresh on our minds hence this letter of appeal for your urgent intervention in addressing the security threat posed by IPOB members in the United States and its leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu should not be allowed entry into the United States of America.
afrorossiyatv: Today I went to the streets of Saint Petersburg Russia and asked Russian girls if they like dating black guys.
There are so many stereotypes and western propaganda about Russians mostly from people who haven't set in Russia. One of the stereotypes is on how Russians absolutely hate black people so today I decided to hear from Russian girls themselves about what they think about black guys.
Here is what Russia girls have to say about black guys
SmallmebigGod: See We all know this news is tribalistic in nature and only aim to 'balance' criminal tag. Every tribe has criminals both home and abroad , that's a fact. The news that came from FBI was unfortunate but the attempt by Nigerians to even cook up more crime story trying to smear the other tribe is even more unfortunate because you are only doing more damage to the country's image by such fake news
This is not fake news stop denying what is in front of you.
SmallmebigGod: Sowore is not my own and I don't know him, post the link to sahara reporter side of the story. Same way someone will say Nairaland shared it so is genuine not knowing there is no due diligence in it. You mean it wasn't shared on Saudi media, not on aljazera ,someone just cooked up a story

OnyeOGA: Zombies will always be zombie. They cried for revolution but here it is. They are now defending same politicians that are root cause of their suffering.
Odinaka00: Honestly I 've watched the Netherlands play, USA, France, Brazil, Italy. These guys are way better than the African team.. African teams are too lazy, can't run, no attempt on goal.. How can you score a goal when you don't make attempt? How can you get freekicks when you don't mount pressure on your opponents? Must we always depend on miracles or luck? [b]And above all they are too ugly [/b]I must say.. I watch these girlz from France they 're too sexy and fuckable but African ones Father Gawd I can't deal.. Andizi.
amc: Really? And who has been heading the NNPC in the last 3 years? Definitely not an Ijaw man.
You guys are petty and losers, focusing on the wrong things. There are Ijaws in high positions in companies owned by Yorubas and Hausas. I don't see the junior Yorubas and Hausa staff complaining. Nigeria does not have discriminatory laws and there is freedom of movement all cross the country.
Learn to read and comprehend, where did I say I'm an Ijaw? You're definitely Yoruba for you to insert them into this conversation. How is it fair to indigenous of Warri that their industry is dominated by foreigners? You would not tolerate this crap, but you expect them to tolerate it for the sake of one Nigeria?
How come Ghana don't release names? These are not Nigerians that is why they don't release names. I remember reading a BBC pidgin story about a "Nigerian" gang that robbed in Ghana. The name of two of the gang members caught are Nana Israel Damascus an Daniel Ackan. What region do they come from? I don't even like Nigeria but can smell propaganda miles away
Kenturkey048: me self know say no be Nigerian...why didn't they give us the name of the Nigerian...even their citizens commit...them go say na Nigerian.
The day one of these smelly Indians or Chinese abuse me racially, I'll make them regret their life. I'm a different breed, I was not raised to look at my Black skin as inferior.
