Before you do you Igbo unification, make sure you return Enugu and Onitsha to the Igalas because Igalas own Onitsha and Enugu

Learn history you say no. Igala don't own Enugu or Onicha, Nsukka people came under the influence of Attah Igala at one point but they later fred themselves of that influence with the help of the Aro, Same happened in Onicha. These places are indigenous Igbo settlements.

stuffs2002:
Igbo unity means stealing other people land

Igbo unity means denying the identity of non Igbo who are neighbours to Igbos

Igbo unity means forcefully calling different tribes like Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Isoko Igbos just to steal their lands

No igboman has ever called ijaw, itsekiri, Isoko and especially Urhobo Igbos, the people who always clarify These ethnicities as Igbo are Yoruba and the Hausa Fulani people.

YouTube source - I guess Khomeini's mouth was moving in that video?

The intercepted shipment you linked to IMN was consigned to Gambia. The shipment manifest literally says that and even Nigerian authorities said the same.

Iranintl, which is a media company based in London - owned by a Saudi Arabian-British citizen, adf magazine which is directly sponsored and funded by US Africa Command (AFRICOM), westpoint.edu which is a federal service academy operated by the United States Army under the U.S. Department of Defense - are your source, and deep in your innermost thought - you think you have an idea of what you're talking about?

How is Boko Haram receiving funds and weapons? Have you asked? Or Is it Iran too?

Tah!! Carry that you Taqiya lies and go sit down.

"According to Nigeria’s foreign minister, the weapons were destined for a warehouse in Abuja, but shippers altered documents to send them to Gambia (presumably for anti-Senegalese rebels in Casamance).48 Nigerian security officials arrested four individuals: a senior Quds Force officer; a Nigerian who formerly studied in Iran and worked at Radio Tehran’s Hausa language service; and two Nigerian customs officials.49 A fifth Iranian suspect, Sayyed Akbar Tabatabaei, who was the Quds Force Africa Corps commander, took refuge in the Iranian Embassy, flew back to Tehran with Iran’s foreign minister and was reportedly reassigned to Venezuela to run Quds Force operations in Latin America.50 One month after these arrests, $10 million worth of heroin hidden in auto engine parts suspected of being linked to the weapons shipment in October was seized in Lagos from a ship originating in Iran."

👆🏽👆🏽 The shipment was not consigned to Gambia, it was destined to a warehouse in Abuja originally, the shippers only altered the plans mid journey.

Did you also read this: Iran’s role in weapons trafficking resurfaced in May 2013 when Nigerian security forces uncovered a weapons “armory” in a Kano home owned by the Lebanese consul to Sierra Leone.52 The security forces arrested three individuals, all of whom admitted to receiving training from Hizb Allah, including: a Lebanese citizen, who owned a supermarket and amusement park in Abuja; a second Lebanese citizen, who was arrested at the airport in Kano before boarding a flight to Lebanon; and a dual Lebanese-Nigerian citizen.53 Although the weapons were rusted, Nigeria’s director of the State Security Service said they were “serviceable,” and a Nigerian brigadier general said they were intended for attacks on U.S. and Israeli targets in Nigeria.54 Nevertheless, some of the munitions, such as anti-tank mines, are more compatible with rebel groups than a terrorist group and may have been linked to the weapons and heroin shipments in Lagos in 2010.

And this:In February 2013, three months before uncovering the “armory,” Nigeria announced it also uncovered an Iranian-funded cell whose leader admitted to plotting attacks on “prominent Nigerians” to “unsettle the West.”56 Such leaders included Nigeria’s former military leader, Ibrahim Babangida, and former sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki, as well as Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Nigeria.57 The cell also conducted surveillance on USAID, the Peace Corps, an Israeli shipping company, a Jewish cultural center, and hotels frequented by Americans and Israelis in Lagos.58 The cell’s leader, a Shi`a imam in Ilorin, attended a course at Imam Khomeini University in Qom in 2006.59 In 2011, he trained in the use of AK-47 rifles and improvised explosive devices in Iran, and in 2012 he traveled to Dubai to receive funding to form the cell.

Abi those did not appear in the write up when you read it or you intentionally ignored it?

Since you have the habit of disregarding all the human rights groups and news publications that don't say what you like to hear, how about this report by Al Jazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/5/questions-after-irans-government-releases-victim-list-in-protest-killings

This is a report of Iranian government admitting to killing those protesters on January, now tell me that Al Jazeera is a western based news network.

I can also see that you dodged the other points that I raised about the innocent people that Iran has executed for flimsy reasons like demanding for Human rights, refusing to wear hijabs etc.

And the fact that Hezbollah has been well known to Kill and assassinate Lebanese citizens who don't agree with them as well as having a hand in the deaths of millions of Syrians.

[quote author=CaseSensitive post=140717719][/quote]

Regarding the story that Iran "killed thousands of their own people in January" or the story about Hezbollah killing Lebanese and Syrian citizens - I think you've been watching a lot of CNN/BBC or reading from them and iranintl, jerusalempost, those NGO 'Human rights' reports etc. It's like saying security operatives kill civilians in Nigeria when in fact civilians were caught in a crossfire between security operatives and whoever they're up against.

The Iranian government themselves acknowledge to killing thousands of it's people https://www.iranintl.com/en/202601255198
👆🏽👆🏽
This is an Iranian news outlet by the way, not western on.

Here's a video of Khomeini admiring to the killing of thousands of protesters 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arOiKgoYW0w?si=WmrbyhAesRsdYSBh

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/16/g-s1-106345/iran-protests-cleric-ayatollah-ahmad-khatami-trump-threat


Hezbollah's involvement in killing civilians is not a "Western narrative", it is a documented pattern of violence acknowledged by Lebanese and international bodies.

Hezbollah has also responsible for the assassination of numerous Lebanese politicians, journalists, and activists, including the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, which killed 241 Lebanese citizens . The 2021 murder of activist Lokman Slim is widely attributed to Hezbollah, they were a key military ally of the Assad regime in Syria, contributing to a conflict where half a million Syrians have lost their lives . Hezbollah's role in supporting the regime's crackdown on Syrian civilians is well-documented. Thousands of Lebanese were kidnapped and sent to Dungeons in Syria to be tortured and killed, when Assad regime fell the survivors of these dungeons were giving eye witness account on Al jezera of what they went through in Syria. You absolutely have no frigin idea what you're talking about.

Also if you know how M0554D operates, you would know why Iran executes its own 'citizens' Do I agree with execution as punishment? No I don't but I see why it's a strong enough deterrence for Iranian citizens who would want to work for their arch enemy against their own country. Those figures are massively exaggerated by the way.

Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how many innocent Iranians were even executed when the Ayatollahs came into power in the 1970s? And? These people weren't even killed because they supported the enemy but their offense was that they committed a crime against God, Masha Amini, Armita Geravand were both executed because they refused to wear the hijab, Toomaj Salehi was killed because of a social media post demanding for Human rights in Iran, Mohammad Gobadiou who was mentally disabled was executed by the IRGC despite the Supreme court squashing his death sentence demanding for a retrial. There are so many other cases of innocent people getting executed in Iran.

Regarding El Zakzaky, he is a Shia muslim cleric. Iran is largely Shia muslim nation too so they share a religious ideological ties and receives support from Iran. By "support", I don't mean with arms and weapons. Even El Zakzaky has said numerous times that his IMN movement is non-violent. Has IMN been involved in violent confrontations with Nigerian security forces? Yes but it's not terrorism, suicide bombings, or insurgency. They are not another "Boko Haram." In fact, the IMN is ideologically opposed to Boko Haram, and Boko Haram is hostile to Shia Muslims. "Boko Haram" are Sunni muslims who are ideologically linked to UAE and Saudi Arabia.

You don't know what you're talking about unfortunately. The IMN have been importing Iran made military weapons into Nigeria since at least 2010, El zarzasky is a shia, Taqiya is Their mode of operation, him saying that they're non violent group is Taqiya to deceive the gullible,

👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽https://ctc.westpoint.edu/the-islamic-movement-and-iranian-intelligence-activities-in-nigeria/

Nigerian security agencies intercepted 13 shipping containers at the Port of Lagos containing illegal weapons,including 107mm Katyusha artillery rockets, rifle rounds, and other explosives, shipped from Iran. Investigations by Nigerian authorities and intelligence assessments indicated the weapons were sent via an IRGC front company and were tied to Quds Force operations in the region. Nigerian security officials arrested key figures linked to the shipment, including an Iranian Quds Force officer, Azim Aghajani, and local operatives. Reports and diplomatic documentation indicated that the network had ties aiming to supply local radical elements, with the intended logistics infrastructure designed to support broader militant activities.

Moniya4Real:
Stop making distinctions between The US and Iran bro- they are one and the same- both terrorizing the world in their own different ways. One is doing that in the name of Democracy whilst the other is doing so in the name of Islamizm

I didn't make any distinction, I just pointed out that Iran also has been killing it's citizens, terrorising their neighbours and even Nigeria through their proxies

HacheNoire:
That won’t work! It’s just a bait to soil the US reputation in the eyes of international community.

The US cannot meet the terms of Iran and that guarantees more bombing!

With high energy prices and Trumps approval rating in the mud, Iran holds all the cards and just baiting the US.

So why were the workers protesting that he should pay their money if he was not the one owing them...

Because governance is continuum.

CaseSensitive:
The only 'nation' killing and destroying people and countries in that area is Israel. Iran didn't carry out the genocide of 75,000 people, including kids, in Gaza. Iran didn't bomb their own kids studying in school. I'm also sure Iran isn't carrying out ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

But Iran killed thousands of their own people in January, continues to execute innocent Iranians who criticise the government, until recently they were executing women who don't want to wear hijabs. Iran also were the sponsors of Hezbollah who have the blood of countless Lebanese and Syrian citizens on their hands.. also Iran have been the ones sponsoring and arming the El zarzasky and his IMN in Nigeria, a group of insurgent who have been fighting and attacking security personnels in Nigeria.

BATified2023:
u ibos will.later regret all these things u are doing sooner or later.

U are ready to bring down any ibo son just to promote obi, u have said many bad n uninspiring things about them simply because u want obi to be seen as the messiah..... okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

So when obi loses out again in 2027 n its the turn of the south to produce president again tell me, how will u promote those u have said bad things about them?

With all the bad things u people have posted on social media about soludo, how do u convince us to pick him when presidency comes to d south again?

U are gradually destroying your tomorrow just to raise obi as your messiah when everyone already knows obi is a fraud

Oya now

Let me just tell u that everything u say about your leaders so as to make obi messiah is been kept n we will use it against them at d right time

You people really lack self awareness.

So you criticise the Igbo people for criticising Soludo because he's an Igbo son but yet you want the same Igbos to support a Yoruba son, Tinubu, against their own Igbo son Obi?

The Igbo don't promote that they have deemed as not good enough, you don't see the Igbo promoting Orji Kalu, Hope or Rochas, and you'll never see them promote T A Orji or Ikpeazụ. Igbos don't play politics based on Tribe but on integrity and capacity to deliver unlike Yoruba people who don't mind promoting a drug dealer just because he's from the same tribe as them.

If you believe that Soludo is good and doing well you wouldn't need the Igbo to convince you to pick him as president. The Igbo have been trying to convince you to pick Obi but you wouldn't due to ethnic sentiments, so it doesn't really matter to you whether or not the Igbo think Soludo or any Igbo is fit for president, you will still choose your candidate based on Tribe so spare us the sermon.

"U are gradually destroying your tomorrow just to raise obi as your messiah when everyone already knows obi is a fraud" ....
👆🏽

I hear you, as if you won't also label Soludo as a fraud and insincere person using his very attacks on Obi as a weapon to demonise him if he comes out to contest for presidency against your tribes person.


"Let me just tell u that everything u say about your leaders so as to make obi messiah is been kept n we will use it against them at d right time"

👆🏽👆🏽

Exactly, so it doesn't really matter to you if Soludo is saying the truth or not, if he's being sincere or not or if he's fit to be President or not, as far as he's Ìgbo you're not going to vote for him. All you're doing is to use him to fight against his fellow Tribes man so as to keep yours in power.


You're not deceiving anybody.

A lot of people have said this, those people are no more. There's a more possibility of the stars falling on earth than Israel getting destroyed in the nearest future.

The fake European Jews as you call them still shares a matching DNA as the people in the Levant, but you are interested in those facts

Botragelad:
See, this is exactly the problem. Israel said several times that some of these Gaza based “journalists” have links to Hamas and other jihadgroups, also some participated in or filmed October 7. And a number of those journalists have worked with Al Jazeera.

Now a journalist has reportedly admitted filming Hamas capturing and torturing Israeli hostages but kept the footage hidden because he feared releasing it would “put Palestinians in trouble.”
These are the exact people spinning the genocide narrative.

https://en.politis.com.cy/news/world/1034168/gaza-photographer-i-didnt-publish-hostage-footage-to-protect-them-from-being-identified

"The photographer also described an organised mechanism for intimidating journalists, run through a WhatsApp group which, he said, was managed by a senior Hamas media official at the Rafah crossing. Personal details and phone numbers of journalists were posted in the group, he said, so that online activists could launch coordinated attacks against them if they said or wrote anything that displeased the organisation."

The propaganda machine that Hamas deployed is arguably the best ever in history. Also, this also reveals that a lot of these activists are all working for a terrorist group, Greta and her flotilla nonsense can't spare a thought for Sudan which is experiencing a worse humanitarian crisis than Gaza.

Gingerly:
Not true bro.
The state government even pays better attention to Enyimba than Abia Warriors.
It's just that they did nepotism with appointment of the club chairman when they appointed Kanu, the governor's brother as the chairman and he is still there even after he has destroyed the club.

About treating Enyimba better, do you know that Abia Warriors don't have a stadium of their own, they are currently using the Enyimba stadium.

They should upgrade that stadium at Umuahia so that Abịa warriors can have a home of their own.

HacheNoire:
One critical questions needs to be asked about western civilization with regards to the Black race!

You ban Niqab which is a threat, I have no problem with that, face covering is crime on its own!

But why same energy has not been applied to Balaclavas and Ski Masks?

Seems it because it a tool blacks use to eliminate themselves but hardly you find a government that has banned it.

“Kill each other if you can! We don’t give a Kentucky fried fvcks”. That’s seems to be message!

The day you will make sense on this site would probably be the end of the world.

Both Ski masks and balaclava are equally banned in schools, and claiming that they're only worn by blacks is an IG_NO_r_an_t thing to say. Everybody wears balaclava and ski masks, it's not a black specific clothing and they're also banned in public spaces.

Moreover, these face coverings are banned so that individual could be easily identified when they commit crimes or general security reasons, it's not done to suppress any race.

And it's self depreciating to say that they don't care if blacks kill themselves in Europe, what sort of statement is that, as if Blacks don't have agency. If anyone wants to Kill themselves let them go ahead, the governments just want to be able to identify you as you commit the crime.

This is actually good for economyif you ask me

Lower prices : Direct access from manufacturers/wholesalers can reduce some middlemen and distribution margins.

More competition: Nigerian retailers may have to improve prices, quality and customer service.

Pressure on excessive mark-ups:
Where a product can be sold profitably at a lower price, competitors make it harder to maintain very high margins.

More China-related business activity: [/b]Nigerians who travel to China for sourcing may benefit from easier access and stronger trade links. China has also extended its reduced visa-fee policy for Nigerian applicants through December 31, 2026.

[b]Although Nigerian retailers will lose customers since foreign businesses sell directly to consumers at cheapest

In my conclusion,

More competition means consumers may have more choices and stronger bargaining power. It can put pressure on retailers to reduce excessive mark-ups, improve customer service and offer better value.

It could also increase the number of Nigerians travelling to China for business and sourcing, strengthening trade between both countries.

Competition is not necessarily bad for Nigerian businesses. It can force businesses to become more efficient and competitive instead of blaming government for every increase in price

At the end of the day, the biggest beneficiary should be the Nigerian consumerprovided the government ensures that every business, local or foreign, plays by the same rules.


Obembet opinion

It is good for a developed country with a very strong economy. It is suicidal for a developing country with weak economy to allow this to happen. But I'm tired of explaining economics to some of you here right now. Experience is going to be our best teacher for this one.

floss:
Time will tell if by 20 years time Nigeria doesn't experience the first Chinese governor or minister in Nigeria.... And a region will say it's a way to forster unity between Nigeria and Chinese

Same way a region invited bandits to stop Jonathan's government and today they can't chase them away...

The good thing is that the economical effects will hit on Lagos and it's celebrated IGR first before it starts spreading nationwide. So there's a possibility that people's eyes will clear by that time and those people who think they're spiting a particular ethnicity will be the very same people who will embark on a large protest stop the Chinese incursion into retail businesses.

At least it is good that the Igbo retailers were the first to raise alarm to this, so that when it starts getting serious no one is going to accuse them of conniving with the Chinese to destroy SW economy.


We will all learn Lessons on Economics soon in this country

Kelvinnchucks:
Imagine seeing on a reddit forum, increase in African stores in Europe and the they are discussing why the government is giving so much freedom to black nigerians and they should be restricted.

If whites start travelling here to school we'll start crying they are taking our jobs too. For years we've been convinced we are the saints and the foreigners are the evil ones.

Hope it's now clear we as just as pathetic as they are and we deserve all the racial discrimination we get.

Most of you people are just.. I don't even know what to say but did anyone of you study anything economics in school?

This issue has nothing to do with tribe, race or ethnicity, it's about economy suppression especially when it's about a developed nation and a developing nation.

Nigeria is a developing nation, it's citizens can go into retailing businesses etc in a developed nation and the economy of that nation will not be affected in any way because they're already developed. But when a developed nation which is also a powerhouse in manufacturing goes into a retail businesses in a developing nation, the economy of that developing nation will greatly suffer repression and stagnation.

We don’t manufacture and now we may be out of distribution too

Ghana that insist foreign business to have minimum starting capital of 1m dollars knows what they are doing

I know some will want to compare it to Nigerian running businesses abroad but the difference is we are a developing nation and can’t afford to compete on open field yet

Same china know what is doing by not allowing USA social media thereby giving room for her own ecosystem to grow

No ooo. We must allow them do whatever business they like in Nigeria, if they want to do retail then they're allowed to do it. Shebi it's when IGR starts tanking that we will all finally begin to take economics seriously in this country.
Those people who think they're using the Chinese to fight the Igbo retailers are going to be the ones to protest on the streets against these Chinese retails in 10 years time when the effects of these Chinese move starts hitting on everybody irrespective of your Ethnicity.
