Wishing you the very best Sir! Enemies of the state will not derail your efforts. Success is already assured!

Foolishbuhari:
A major electoral UPSET is unfolding in far away Northern Ireland this evening, and it presents a great learning opportunity for IPOB\IGBOS. I am talking about the IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY (IRA) of Northern Ireland.

For non students of history, for decades, the IRA, had a running battle with the British government, for almost identical reasons and more as IPOB started out with. It was a non winnable war for them, against a better armed and funded British government.

In the mid 90’s, the IRA changed tactics and joined the electoral process. They nominated their own candidates, who armed with the goodwill of the IRA and the masses behind them, started winning seats after seat in the governing process.

A national election was held this week and from all indications, they have won and taken control of governance in Northern Ireland. Even the British gov has now admitted defeat, and will now have to follow the rules made by their once arch enemies.

As it currently stands, IPOB and their leadership can toe same line. The longer they wait, the more their chances slip away as more gruesome crimes are being perpetrated by TERRORISTS both from within them or those claiming to represent them. Denial is always “good” for the denier, but Reality is a different thing. Reality is, they are losing goodwill as more and more Igbos are killed, regardless of who is doing the killings and tagging IPOB.

Second Reality is, the MISCREANTS and TERRORISTS who are killing Igbos, lack the intellect to lead and run an effective nation, IF or when their armed struggle succeeds (which is very much unlikely by the way). Take a closer look at what just happened in Northern Ireland. Don’t like Northern Ireland? Take a look at LEBANON. Same model, same results. If it worked in these two nations, it will also work for you guys. The Templates are already there; simply copy and paste.

I've always maintained that you don't change a system from outside... You do so from inside! You're yet to have a strong political claim on your own region but you think you can pull a miracle by succeeding in secession from a lawless country like Nigeria?

I know the stupid, useless, never-do-wells amongst you will come to rain insults upon me but you see this truth, I will always say it, much to the chagrin of the dissenters. I come in peace! God bless us all

Some part of this article is copied from @CbianBen on Twitter.

Good Bless you a million times. Your analysis is apt and only the blind will disagree. IPOB is loosing it and will loose it completely if they continue the path of savagery and barbarism whether committed by them or not. Igbos are not savages. It’s not in our culture. That’s why we have unions and organisations where people voice there opinions and we disagree to agree. But we never spill blood. We recognize the sanctity of life. We even call it “MMADU…beauty of life”. So to degenerate to what we are seeing today in our society with the acts of ESN and Unknown Gunmen and the violent rhetorics of IPOB is unIgbo and will never be accepted by our people.

If IPOB has the interest of Igbos at heart, they must disband ESN and take power away from criminals and savages so that we can at least know who is responsible for these heinous crimes committed daily in our land. It’s not too much sacrifice to ask for given that the same people have made so much economic sacrifices with the frequent sit at home enforced by IPOB and some have also paid with their lives. So, it’s time for IPOB to also come to the table and show people that they are compassionate to their challenges.

Then IPOB must encourage their members to take elective offices so we can see what they can do for the region given the opportunity. Actions speak louder than a million words. It’s simple. Sitting at the comfort or luxury and safe haven of western societies and issue threats while the people are suffering the impact is cowardice. They need to come and push/canvass and convince the people that they can govern them if and when the time comes.

We must continue to speak so that our forefathers will bear us witness that we did not keep quiet or hide while the she goat gives birth on its own tied to a stake (okenye adighi ano n’ulo nne ewu amuo n’ogburi).

God bless the Igbo people! God Bless our ancestors! God bless our children unborn!

All politics, as they say, is local. Peter Obi is wasting his time seeking The Presidency in 2023 until he has IPOB, ESN, DSS(?), UGM, et all issues sorted out.

As what? What apparatus does he have to settle it? Has Buhari and Osibanjo with all the federal might settled Bokhoram and all the Banditry in the country?
Some comments here are really outrightly childish.

Ishilove:
From the Meta wall of Ivan The Machine. Poignant truth.

His post is a reaction to some social media users of Igbo extraction who are claiming the gruesome video was doctored and that the incident happened years back, in Cameroun.

God bless you for the clarification. Even Bokoharam are not as barbaric. The perpetrators are Igbos no doubt about it. I am still having nightmares from that video and will continue for a very long time.

IPOB/ESN/Unknown Gunmen are responsible for these havocs. You know why, because their members are criminals in thoughts and actions. They do not represent anything about Igbo where human blood is sacred. But I’m very certain that their end is very near.
God Bless Igbo land and the spirit of our ancestors!

2elliot:
What don't you understand by false flag operation?

If this is the case and you are strongly convinced that the government agents have hijacked IPOB’s operation to create mayhem, then IPOB must make the necessary sacrifices to protect the lives of the people that they claim to love. People’s lives and means of livelihood cannot continue to be destroyed while we have the luxury of passing blames to the govt.

IPOB needs to disband ESN for the sake of the people and ensure compliance from its members if they are not criminals. Then anyone parading himself as ESN is clearly a criminal or terrorist.

2elliot:
who ever you see in the villages is your state forces on glass flag operations.

Sorry but without a concrete proof, what you say are mere allegations. But we know who goes around enforcing military style sit at home on Mondays and killing people at INEC registration centres. So everyone must comply with your rules otherwise be killed?

2elliot:
ESN have always been in the forest. Your govt agents are in the towns. Is that too hard for you to get?

But ESN regularly pays visits to villages to enforce their self serving interests while burning and destroying properties and killing people along the way. This is the truth. This is not freedom fighting!

There are testimonies about there evils and this is not govt. agents.

2elliot:
Where were you when Fulani herdsmen were killing with reckless abandon in the east and elsewhere? How many herdsmen were killed or arrested and tried by the secury? Guy, you be mumu eh.

No need for insult. You want to justify the harassment and maiming of innocent Igbos by ESN? Are these innocent Igbos being maimed and intimidated everyday by ESN also herdsmen?

Herdsmen are terrorists (undisputed) but so is ESN based on their current actions!

NnamdiKanu:


Zamfara isn’t your own? But IPOB is your own! How much really do they pay your guys? Disgusting human beings

Nobody pays me anything.

Yes I care about Zamfara people as a human being but Igbo land is my home and blood. What IPOB and ESN are doing in our land is criminality and evil. ESN said they want to protect our people against herdsmen but have turned to destroy, rape, kidnap, harass, intimidate and maim the same people. Our people are living in fear everyday. This is the truth and you know it. These people are criminals!

My own is that have to rid Igbo land of the IPOB virus. IPOB and ESN have brought nothing but pains and agony to our people. Their members are all criminals and rascals.

Very shameless set of human beings [/quote

PHIPEX:
God gave you a brain to reason with it, don't freeze it.

If the law enforcement agencies are interested in getting the truth, the guy constantly uploading these videos certainly gets it from a source and should be questioned. Telling learned Nigerian that IPOB committed a crime with all these contradictory information and no clear evidence can't sell, how did they arrive at the conclusion? Everyone who knows about traditional weddings knows the bride and the groom don't travel together on same day of the event, how come it happened in this case?

IPOB and ESN are the ones destroying East and creating havoc in the east every day. They said they want to fight Fulani herdsmen but rather has turned the region into a criminal enclave where people are living in total fear of the same people claiming to fight for their freedom.

IPOB should just disband this ESN arm and allow peaceful negotiations. This behaviour of harassing and maiming innocent Igbos has shown without doubt that they are simply criminals and terrorists.

Igbos are republicans and we discuss issues to find amicable solution to problems not using barbarism like we are currently experiencing in the East.

We must all put hands together to rid our land of this virus. IPOB’s sabotage and desecration of our land must be stopped. What is happening in our land is not in the nature of an Igbo man. These are criminals and terrorists.

slimfit1:


I know but you need to speak to the killers DSS to stop the killing.

Pls let’s be honest with ourselves and call a spade a spade. The people that have been going around intimidating innocent citizens are ESN gunmen affiliated to IPOB. It’s not a secret and there are numerous testimonies of their harassment. People are already stretched with the economic sabotage of sit-at-home but to also bear the evil we are now witnessing is unjustifiable. If this is the evil our people will bear for the actualisation of their pursuit, tell me is it worth it?

slimfit1:
I believe it is DSS, acting like ESN. ESN won't want to stain their names. They don't want to be seen as terrorists. The Nigerian security agencies will do anything to taint the image of ESN and IPOB. They tried to claim that chief Sunday was a terrorist to Benin so they go to any level to paint us evil. Chief Sunday who I support was attacked at his house then they said he wasn't them. The way they killed that woman tells me it was done by security. Igbo people don't kill their females to send a signal, I am not igbo but I can tell you that for sure.

It really doesn’t matter at this moment. This must never be allowed to happen again. IPOB must make all and every necessary sacrifices including disbanding it’s ESN wing to ensure this never repeats again. I say we must join hand to eliminate the perpetrators of this heinous crime and whatever they represent.
Human Blood is sacred in our land and I don’t want to be part of whatever course achieved via such spillage.

Idiko1:


What constitutes the term criminals? In the history of Self-Determination, not every stiff should be involved in the struggle. By the same token, not every deluded punk will appreciate the methodology applied in the struggle. Those of you who want to stay in the shithole called Nigeria are welcome to do so but should vacate Igboland.

I have never been this angry and disgusted the way I felt after watching the video created by purported unknown gunmen after the inhumane act on the military couple. This is an abomination that must not be allowed to proliferate on our land whatever the reason. Elections will come and go, but the shame on this poor lady and her family will remain for ages. And the consequences for such atrocity is more devastation on our land.

I spit on any organisation that somehow finds justification for such atrocity. No course is worth such path!

I think social media is making these people popular. If no news agency or blog or newspaper or forum carries the news. It will be irrelevant and their nonsense can be stopped.

Seun tell your mods to stop celebrating mediocres.

Absolutely, especially Seun and Nairaland. They are major culprits and promoters of this evil.

Who is this Chinasa Nworgu and why is this on the front page?

Nairaland should be careful in propagating these destabilising falsehoods. Are you now their message board?

Seun, Seun, Seun pls warn your mods. This is unacceptable!

God saved me from death through CO suffocation some years back. Actually, I was living in one of the small BQs constructed by my retired landlord close to the main house where he stays with his family. Although, I didn’t have a Gen then, my landlord kept his own Gen close to my window. Not only was it extremely noisy, but the fumes used to enter my room at night. In one of the nights, I was chocking in my sleep but managed to wake up with my nose completely blocked. It took some hours before my nose cleared. It was a near death experience. I informed the landlord abt it but he really didn’t change the position of the Gen. It was an additional motivation to step up my pursuit for success in life.

CO gas is extremely dangerous. Till today, I can’t stand the smell of fussil fumes be it from moving vehicle or genset. I gives me strong phobia.

Prenonjebose:

Very correct. Having players that can do the 3 pointers for a change gives a lot of hope. Having 2 to 3 players who are good in outside perimeter throws is very valuable

Exactly. We’ve never lacked guys with strength and agility within the box. We’ve just never had excellent world class 3 point shooters to make a complete squad.

saajus:
I appreciate our boys but it's a friendly game. I watched the extended highlight and discovered USA didn't play hard at all. I am also skeptical about 3-point dependent teams. It's not always repetitive cos there will be some games that it won't just drop. What next when they don't drop. I've not watched a lot D'Tigers games, so I don't know if they have something else to show if 3 points are not dropping

It seems you haven’t been following Nigerian games. Our problem has never been within the box, it’s always been have players that can play from the perimeter when it matters. Thats why we loose many games because we always struggle outside the perimeter. Feels good to know that we have players that can now contribute from the perimeter.

This is absolutely amazing! With the wealth of talent at the disposal of Nigeria, it should challenge the world in all spheres of life.

Earthstorms:


I have replied your message

Thanks. I have sent you my no. Let’s chat via WhatsApp

Hello Earthstorms,

I’m setting up a PKO also. Can we talk?
I have sent you a private message.

I haven’t been to Alaba market or computer village recently but I buy a lot of things from online platforms like Jiji and most of the vendors selling there are based in Alaba or computer village. And you know what, sometimes I pay before delivery and some other times I pay upon delivery. But I have never been cheated notwithstanding that I have bought all sorts of things even in millions and have them delivered to my door step.

I am not gonna argue whether these markets have bad eggs or not, but they have served me with a lot better deals than I can get directly from the shops.

In any open market anywhere in the world, you need to always be street wise to avoid being cheated. Otherwise, you can go to the likes of “Games” and other big supermarkets but be ready to pay more. It’s that simple.

I don’t agree that Igbos dislike Abba Kyari being Igbo myself. I also ask the question why so much hate on the man. Personally, I see him as a sane, rational man in this govt even though they say he leads the cabal. Anyway, I think he has the best interest of the country in his heart. By the way he got infected and paid the ultimate price negotiating power infrastructure development with one of the best global providers in the world. I have not heard him involved in any kind of scandal like many of our leaders except that people say he leads the cabal.

You must understand that majority of Nigerians are frustrated, angry and easily transfer aggression to everyone and everything around them and most times ignorantly. So this unfortunate passing of a senior political elite will not be treated differently.

But his passing also calls for personal reflection and humility from everyone. This life should not be taken too seriously because it can be lost at anytime.

Please remove Tanzania from that list. It takes not less than 3 months to get Tanzanian Visa as a Nigerian. This I’m very sure of.

Moderators - Pls do the needful. We need to have this on the front page.

He’s got my vote for sure. We must do everything to encourage these new mindsets with our votes. This is the only way to eliminate bigots like Elrufai
