prinsam30: For goodness sake how can we av two strikers and not starting any of them, this is to show u guys that both of them are trash especially that hajlund
No top club in the English Premier league would have either Hojlund or Zirkzee as their main striker because the two of them are practically useless. This is probably why Ruben Amorim has gone with Mainoo as the false 9 in this game.
United seriously need a centre forward and a new goalkeeper in the summer.
Softmirror: Same person and his gang said in the past that the Finnish government can't even arrest him but today he has been arrested without bail.
I remember he said Ekpa was a Finnish military veteran and that Finland would NEVER arrest him to please Nigeria. At times some of these IPOB enablers on this forum just speak before they use their brains. The kind of things some of them post everyday just shows that their brains are just mere decorations in their skull.
gidgiddy: I read what some people said, that the the self styled 'Prime Minister Of Biafra', Simon Ekpa, will be extradited or repatriated to Nigeria from Finland, and I laugh. Here is an example of why that won't happen
In 2022, with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Finland applied to join NATO. Finland was told that in other to join, all 30 countries that make up NATO must vote yes. Turkey decided not to support Finlands entry unless Finland extradited some members the Kurdish Workers Party(PPK) who Finland was harbouring. PPK is a group that is fighting for the independence of Kurdish people from Turkey, they have long been designated a terrorist organization by the Turkish government
Finland said a flat 'no' to Turkey stating it is a signatory to the European Convention On Human Rights(ECHR), and is barred from extradition people to a place where they face persecution. Turkish human rights rating is nothing to write home about
Nigeria has an even worse human rights rating than Turkey. So if Finland refused to extradite PPK members to Turkey over NATO memership, why do you think they would extradite Ekpa to Nigeria? Turkey eventually backed down and Finland became the 31st member of NATO in April 2023
Forget Simon Ekpa ever being extradited to Nigeria, Finland is barred from doing so by ECHR
Finland is not Kenya
More wailing and lamentations from a confirmed terrorism enabler. Anyway this thread is book marked for future reference when your hero Simon Ekpa is extradited to Nigeria because I distinctly remember you blabbering and chest beating that Ekpa would NEVER be arrested by the Finnish police on the request of Nigeria. So where is Ekpa now?
kettykin: What exactly is treasonable felony and why is Sunday igboho not yet kidnapped and put in Nigeria custody.
Your WHATABOUTISM is exasperating. Why compare apples with oranges? Ibos never surprise me because you have a penchant to twist history. You have a penchant to start something and never finish what you started before you start acting the VICTIM. Kanu must stand trial for his terrorism and criminal instigation of terrorism on HIS OWN PEOPLE. No amount of antics and playing to the gallery can save him from this trial. He and his charge and bail lawyers can only delay the process of the trial.
By the way I suggest you watch this YouTube video by your brother. These are the legacies of Nnamdi Kanu/Simon Ekpa/UGM/IPOB as well as terrorism enablers like yourself kettykin,and others such as,gidgiddy Igbopromise, franchasofficia Bigkoko and others on this forum.
gidgiddy: The unity beggars and the 'one Nigerianists' all want Kanu to remain in jail to protect their useless 'one Nigeria' that has not worked since 1960.
What they fail to see is that in 3 years of Nnamdi Kanu being in detention, Nigeria has only gotten worse on all indices, proving that Kanu is not the problem.
It's because Nigeria cannot work that there's an Nnamdi Kanu, and why many more Nnamdi Kanu's will be coming in the future
Lol....😀😀😀 You have found your voice this morning after going underground yesterday. Your regular lies and lamentations are music to the ears. Your tears are equally delicious. You may want to listen to your brother in this video here. Lilu is a LEGACY of your hero Nnamdi Kanu and his terrorism.
lokito: South East Enugu was where this whole drama started. That should be the area of jurisdiction in my humble opinion
So that IPOB will intimidate the judge or attack his family members or worse still attack the prison or DSS facility and whisk Kanu out of the country to a foreign land where he will reignite his terrorist activities. No one is falling for your tricks because your intentions are well understood.
kettykin: This man will stay a little longer in jail from the look of things but that would be the beginning of high scale injustice in Nigeria as political figures who are unjustly imprisoned in future will have no one to fight for them.
Even trump and Biden granted clemency to a good number of prisoners but in Nigeria it is the other way round. The APC-led regime has more innocent people in jail than Even the Aguiyi Ironsi government that imprisoned coup plotters.
You guys never get tired of these LIES! You can blatantly see that Kanu and his charge and bail lawyers keep on instituting different suits in different courts to frustrate this treason case from taking off. This has been their modus operandi since this trial begun. Now they are trying to get the case transfered to the south east with a south eastern judge so that they can use IPOB and UGM to intimidate the judge and his family or even attack the court and spring Kanu from detention into a foreign country.
The authorities will never fall for Kanu's antics. He must face trial in front of Justice Binta Nyako for all his crimes against his own people. If the court sets him free,then so be it. If he is found guilty let him face the music. Simple .
Dalohad: Unfortunately if the security situation does not improve in Orsu LGA in Imo, it will not improve in Lilu and the enter Ihiala LGA area.
Those criminal elements have camps in Lilu to Orsumoghu up to Isseke. The topography of Lilu makes it difficult to police because it is very hilly and bushy.
You could walk 4 Kilometers in Lilu going down or up a hill with bushes all over. Perfect safe haven for criminals.
The Imo-Anambra governments should form a joint security force to police Orsu-Ihiala-Nnewi South LGAs. Curfews should be imposed. And Security men should take over policing these areas with night vision googles tracking down the UmuOma killers in their hideouts and neutralising them in the bushes.
Having Ebube Agu in Imo without working in synergy with Agunechemba is a waste of time. These areas have no clear borders. You could walk in through the bushes from Orsu into Nnewi South.
Sounds like anarchy with bands of criminal gangs holding innocent citizens hostage. This situation ought to be tabled in the national legislative houses but apparently the reps and senators from these areas are blind to reality and probably not interested.
Watch the YouTube video made by Dr Paul Ezike on the state of insecurity in his village called Lilu in Anambra State. In this video he explains how the Lilu village has become a desolate area,completely over run by terrorists and terrorism activity. He claims all houses in Lilu have been abandoned to these criminals. In fact he states that the traditional ruler of Lilu has abandoned his throne and taken to his heels. The Anambra State government needs to look into this issue if terrorists can be allowed to sack a whole village and turn it into their camp for terrorist activity and kidnapping. Members of this forum from this Lilu village need to speak out and if this Dr Paul Ezike is lying they should expose him.
Cc gidgiddy,big koko,Igbopromise,franchasofficia your comments would be appreciated on this burning issue.
IfnobeGod20: This is the problem of some of you, always thinking anyone that says any contrary thing against government opinion is Igbo. What a silly thinking from the pit of hell. With your jaundice profiling me as Igbo rendered all you said watery and baseless.
ARE YOU DENYING YOUR ETHNICAL BACK GROUND? WHY ARE IBOS ASHAMED OF IDENTIFYING WITH THEIR CULTURAL ROOTS AND YET GET ANGRY WHEN IKWERRE PEOPLE DENY BEING IBO. LOL.......😂😂😂
udemzyudex: That means they can as well force the trial and end it once and for all, after all there was judgment that granted him bail which he was never granted.
Right? If they can keep him, they can as well force him to stand trial before the judge. This Kanu case is taking forever.
At bolded, Please don't get things mixed up. This particular case is about treason and attempt to commit treason. The case you are referring to is Kanu and his lawyers going to ANOTHER court to demand that the treason case be dropped by the Federal government. Kanu won that case and the judge ruled he should be set free,BUT the Federal government appealed against that ruling and a Supreme court judgement was obtained that OVERTURNED the ruling of the lower court and determined that Kanu MUST stand trial for the treason case.
These law suits and counter law suits are what have tied up this case in the courts for so long. Apart from that Kanu had earlier JUMPED BAIL before being forcefully brought back to Nigeria from Kenya. Also bear in mind that Kanu has consistently called out each of the three different judges assigned to this treason case for biases and they have each had to excuse themselves from the case until the Chief judge refused this final time and insisted justice Binta Nyako should try the case. This is the same Binta Nyako that Kanu has reported to the NJC so the case will probably be stalled again until the NJC determines if Nyarko is biased against Kanu or not.
baralatie: Oooh So technically trying to run from justice Well you learn everyday
This is the 3rd judge to handle this case Nnamdi Kanu keeps on accusing them of being partial and threatening them in court as such the judges keep on excusing themselves from the case and the case remains on a stand still. The current judge Binra Nyarko excused herself from the case after Kanu accused her of partiality last year. This was when the chief Justice put his foot down and said she must handle the case because an accused person cannot keep dictating the judge to handle his case.
As you can see from this report Kanu is still trying to frustrate the case from taking off by still accusing Nyarko of bias because an inferior court asked for him to be released when in actual fact the Supreme court which is a superior court has overturned that ruling. Meanwhile Kanu mindless mob followers keep on ac using the government of frustrating the case when it is actually Kanu and his lawyers that have consistently frustrated the case through delay tactics,adjournment and legal technicalities.
Chegesnd: What a country! Where imbeciles discuss important issues.
Your father in the house is not half as intelligent as me,so what does that make him and you if I am an imbeci1e?
This is the third judge to handle this particular case. Kanu has consistently accused each judge of partiality. Does this look like he is ready for any trial? Yet lunatics like you are labelling your intellectual superiors as imbecilic.
udemzyudex: Is she the only judge in Nigeria that can handle the case?
She is the third judge to handle this particular case. Kanu keeps on accusing the judges of partiality so the judges keep on excusing themselves from the case. It is Kanu and his lawyers that have frustrated the case for 4 good years. Apparently Kanu likes being detained in the DSS facility.
Nnamdi Kanu knows he will go down if this trial is allowed to proceed,that is why he is using every available legal technicality to frustrate the taking off of this trial for over 4 years now. Yet his lunat1c fringe supporters keep on blaming the Federal government for the stalling of the trial when in actual fact it is Nnamdi Kanu and his demented charge and bail lawyers that keep on frustrating the trial with different legalities. It is obvious that Kanu prefers to remain in the DSS detention cell than to face trial.
IfnobeGod20: Mr. Man, this is opened forum with people identities hidden. The nature of my job affords me to be exposed to the case in contention. When I tell you exposure matters, I know what I mean.
You know my joy, you still went buttressing my point, on how they bribe their way getting the chieftaincy titles through the village heads of their respective communities without the village heads having recourse to the local government laws.
At bolded, Stop twisting my points. I did not buttress anything you said. You engaged in the usual Ibo whataboutism,while I was being factual and pointing out the illegality of Ibos unilaterally crowning themselves as kings and chiefs all over Lagos state without recourse to constituted authority. You talked about your job,which in my opinion is the usual empty chest beating which is the usual stock in trade of Ibos. I do not need to perform any job to know and see that Ibos illegally crown themselves as kings and install chieftaincy titles upon themselves without regard for constituted authority. Anyone doing this is an impersonator . They therefore deserve to go to jail like the buffon at Ajao estate. My last response to you on this matter.
christistruth01: Can you believe that at the time Azikiwe did this interview below on the 16th of Jan 1966 Gen Ironsi had not yet taken Power look outside the Window you can see it is broad daylight Listen to Azikiwe
Dr Orizu who was the Acting President didn't invite Gen Ironsi to takeover Power until 10 minutes to midnight on that same day (16th of January 1966 ) which couldn't have been less than about 6 hours after Azikiwe gave this interview to the British Press yet Azikiwe was speaking as if Gen Ironsi was already in Power
Gen Ironsi didn't take Power until 17th Jan 1966 the next day
From his replies you can see that Azikiwe was completely uninterested in finding Prime Minister Balewa who had only been kidnapped and was only missing at the time of this interview and whose body was not found until almost a week later but see how so confident Azikiwe already was that Balewa wouldn't be found alive
Thanks for this YouTube video. Ibos are specialists in telling lies and passing off same as the truth. I noticed the one who claimed to be a PhD holder claiming Orizu Nwafor was the next in line to succeed Balewa as Prime Minister. This skewed reasoning stems from ignorance and lack of understanding of the parliamentary system of government operation. Nwafor Orizu was a member of the NCNC party who had formed an alliance with the ruling NPC party who were the senior party and were consistently supposed to produce the powerful prime minister position while the NCNC were supposed to produce the powerless ceremonial position of President of the Republic. So following this logic the NPC was supposed to produce the acting prime minister in the absence of Balewa and the most senior minister was Zanna Bukar Dipcharima. The Ibos in their usual cunning and crafty way in order to do away with the powerless ceremonial presidency occupied by Azikiwe used their military wing to seize EXECUTIVE POWER AND AUTHORITY through General Ignatius Ironsi. So while the NPC ministers were still holding on to Tafawa Balewa being found since he was presumed to only be missing. The acting President Nwafor Orizu with active conivance of Nnamdi Azikiwe( who was hiding in the Caribbean) surreptitiously HANDED OVER EXECUTIVE POWER TO HIS IBO KINSMAN IRONSI and left the NPC and Dipcharima betrayed and in the lurch. This is how the Ibo through the activities of January 15th 1966 moved from occupying the powerless ceremonial position of President to holding executive power and authority as HEAD OF STATE through General Aguiyi-Ironsi. It was the usual serpentine political game play of the Ibos.
gidgiddy: It is the same what about ism that makes you people only remember January 15 coup, but never any of the 7 other coups that later happened
The same whataboutism is why Nigeria can take a murderous coup plotter like Murtala Mohammed, who killed hundreds of people in his own coup, and make him a national hero on your currency, but call out Nzeogwu whose coup claimed 20 lives.
It's the same whataboutism that makes you Nigerians blame Igbos for how Nigeria is, even though it's the rest of you who have been running Nigeria for the last 60 years.
All this whataboutism goes to show that we have no business being together in one country , and that the British colonial contraption called Nigeria should have been dissolved a long time ago
So why are you lot still clamouring Peter Obi for President, when you should be agitating that your governors, senators, assembly men, representatives, and ministers withdraw from Nigeria and move for a referendum? You and I know that Ibos are a janus,two faced type of people who want to eat their cake and at the same time have it. All your propaganda, falsehood, lies and lamentations are aimed at only one thing. Ibo domination and subjugation of all other tribes and appropriation of their lands. You shout Peter Obi for Nigeria president and at the same time shout Biafra or death. What a serpentine group of people.
My dad doesn't need such stress, he is currently in my hometown enjoying his old age away from the stress and troubles of this world.
You an 80yrs plus man that still have the strength and energy to be throwing banters, insults and enjoying the internet buzz of today must be a magical human, well done sir, I salute your strength and energy at 80yrs plus
At bolded, Teach him to be active and exercise his brain cells. The fastest way to become a vegetable and lose cognitive strength is lack of brain activity. A word is enough for the wise.
What did you say? You were born and an adult when the January 1966 coup happened?
That means you are my father then hahahaha
My father that fought in the war as a forced teenager is currently 85, and you claim to be an adult or teen that witnessed the 1966 coup? Wonderful
Let me not argue that, you could be right, you alone knows your age.
But even my father that was a teenager then didn't know much about what transpired in the coup except through my late uncle's classified stories.
You could be right that you have a high profile personality, but you are not sounding polished and mature enough with how you are carelessly throwing insults, tantrums, banters and hate words while claiming to be exposed, it's contradictory you know.
As one becomes more exposed, educated/learned, advanced, traveled and financially empowered, it reflects on your lifestyle and approach to life. Dangote cannot be caught talking the same way MC Oluomo talks.
Dr Adesina cannot be caught throwing insulting words carelessly the way a motor park lout will do. The more traveled, learned and advanced one becomes, the higher their demure and composure in public.
Meanwhile, I repeat, you are entitled to believe that the 1966 January coup was an Igbo people's coup, and we are also entitled to tell those the care the untold truth that have been hidden for decades due to Yoruba controlled newspaper propaganda of the past.
So you have the absolute right to believe whatever you were told or witnessed like you said.
If you did witnessed the coup as a teen or adult, then you should be above 80yrs, I respect your age, peace
If your aged father does not understand or know how to use the technology of the Internet then that is his business and cup of tea. I taught myself to move with trends and I am never too humble to move with trends. Don't tar everybody with your fathers refusal to learn new things.
I am enlightened and most of my contemporaries are enlightened. The error of the Nigeria elites to keep quiet in the spirit of no Victor and no vanquished after the civil war of 1970 was a grave error because it only emboldened the Ibo propaganda machinery to slowly and quietly revise and distort the history and events that led to the January 15th 1966 Ibo coup through arch purveyors of propaganda such as Chinua Achebe, Uche Chukwumerije and the plagiarist Cyprian Ekwensi. These Ibo writers were able to twist the narrative and through their cheap Onitsha market books push out consistent falsehood as truth. The Ibo propaganda and falsehood machinery has been handed over to people like you to push your evil agenda but it will be resisted. Ibos can not gaslight anyone in this country ever again. Your eternal game of playing the victim has been exposed since and will be resisted. No amount of gaslighting and victimhood can change what the January 15th 1966 coup was. It was an Ibo, tribal,lopsided coup aimed at Ibo domination and subjugation of all other tribes.
gidgiddy: But we are still talking about a Nigeria that honoured the coup that happened after, led by Murtala Mohammed, that killed over 300 people. Why is it that Murtala Mohammed was given a place of honour on you national currency, has Airports named after him, has seminars done in honour. He was just a murderous coup plotter!
Why isn't Onwuatuegwu on the national currency? Why isn't Airports named after Nzeogwu?
The lesson to be learned here is that you people only remember that coup is evil if Igbos are involved. If Northerners do it, it is good
That's why Nzeogwu coup claimed less than 20 lives, but una no gree man hear word. But Murtala Mohammeds coup claimed over 300 lives, and you guys honoured him by putting him on the N20 Naira note
When I say some of you are nutters,it will seem like an insult but just imagine the insane whataboutism? What led to the Murtala Mohammed coup? Was it not the lopsided,tribal January 15th 1966 Ibo coup? Actions will also trigger reactions. It is a simple law of nature.
The penchant for Ibos to trigger an action then when the reaction comes they will activate their pity party mode and claim victimisation is unrivalled in this country. This is 2025,you guys should shove your lies,falsehood and propaganda up where the sun don't shine. Nobody is buying your rubbish. We refuse to be gaslighted. Your pity party propaganda is dead on arrival. The January 15th 1966 was an Ibo coup aimed at Ibo domination and subjugation. The July 29th 1966 coup was a reaction and revenge coup. Actions beget reactions. The Ibos recieved a duly deserved comeuppance in the July 29th 1966 revenge coup and the civil war in its aftermath. There is no beating around the bush. The Ibo got what they deserved and people like you Gidgiddy would not be here running your mouth like water from a tap,lamenting in pains and sorrow if General Yakubu Gowon had done the right thing and allowed the Nigeria Army to push that conflict in 1970 to its logical conclusion, instead he rewarded treachery and high treason with monetary rewards and a cuddly hug of NO VICTOR AND NO VANQUISHED. That is why terrorists like Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa can raise their scrawny necks today to agitate for another civil war of terror and people like you Gidgiddy, will serve as their terrorism enablers on Nairaland.
gidgiddy: Some people may not know who Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi is, but he was the last surviving member of the nine officers who executed Nigeria's military coup on January 15th 1966. After the coup failed, Nwobosi was imprisoned in the East by Aguiyi-Ironsi, however, he was released by Ojukwu when he declared Biafra, promoted to Colonel, and later became Ojukwu's Chief Of Staff. Nwobosi would later fly out with Ojukwu into exile at the end of the war, made his way to Guyana where he became a Military advisor to the Guyanese government. He later moved to Canada where he lived for many years before returning to Nigeria. He retired to his hometown, Obosi, near Onitsha, and was given the title 'Ogene Obosi' by his people. Emmanuel Nwobosi died in November 2020 at the age of 81, but before then, he wrote a book called 1966: THE DARK TRUTH that was later published by his son after his death. This is what Nwobosi said in 2020 in his book about why he and others carried out the January 15th 1966 coup:-
Emmanuel Nwobosi
I am the last of the original coup planners of January 15, 1966 with Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. I knew Nzeogwu well. We went to school together. We trained at Sandhurst Military Academy, UK. We lived together. Nzeogwu was our first Head of Military Intelligence and uncovered terrible plans to wreak havoc across the country. We organised a group of progressive military officers to carry out a coup on 15th January, 1966 to stop a Jihad and bring sanity to a Nigeria steeped in nepotism, corruption and mass murders. The Government of Tafawa Balewa, controlled by the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, were using us in the army to repress the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria. Houses and cars were burnt. Thousands were killed. All these happened between 1962- 66
There were nine of us that planned the January 15 Revolution: Majors Nzeogwu, Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Chukwuka, Okafor, Onwuategwu, Obienu and myself. However, four of us started it. Major Ifeajuna and Major Ademoyega in the South; and Major Nzeogwu and myself in the North. We then united as a single revolution. I am the last of the four original revolutionaries. None published the complete truth. Only me, Colonel Nwobosi, is alive today, to tell the Final Truth, so that the lies will not triumph forever.
They used us to repress the Middle-belt and the Yorubas. When we saw genocide, we began to disobey orders and swore to stop them. For instance, Major Anuforo refused to release mass murderers caught with weapons, and was court martialled. He was replaced by Major Hassan Katsina, a Northern Muslim, willing to act. I was in Abeokuta but refused to repress Yorubas, instead I opened our barracks as a safe place for them to run to. They told many lies about the January 15 boys, to justify their genocide, but it is those of us that planned the revolution that they should have killed, not the three million innocent Biafrans that knew nothing.
For years I kept quiet, blaming myself and wondering whether at 27, I was too radical that my actions led to the deaths of millions. Today, the same evil in 1966 is being unleashed. As I watch, my sense of guilt has vanished, because we were not the evil. We were trying to stop the evil. That Evil is Radical Islamism. I have decided to speak out and warn the world of the impending disaster if we do not stop it.
Each time Radical Muslims plan a Jihad, in their religious mission to conquer the world, they will fail, but in the attempt, thousands and even millions will die. That happened to us in Biafra. At this point let me differentiate between peaceful, law-abiding Muslims and Radical Muslims who want to kill others to force their religion on them. The problem is that wherever peaceful Muslims are, there are some Radical Muslims amongst them. That is why they began a Jihad in 1966. That is why we had to stop it. That is why they killed millions of our people. That is why we declared Biafra, because we are a peaceful people and oil and water can never mix.
My story is a warning to Nigerians. For years, I was prevented from speaking the truth by exile, prison, harassment, poverty, surveillance and death threats held over many of the actors like Ojukwu, Zik, Awolowo, Ibiam and the January 15 boys that survived. But as I watch today, many of the events that led to our revolution are happening again: Boko Haram, Fulani Militia, Niger Delta Militants, Shiites, IPOB and mass murders.
Some people think we acted wrongly in carrying out the January 15 revolution, but they may not be fully aware of the realities then. We were trained by the British to be patriotic, to give the ultimate sacrifice for Nigerian and to stop anyone acting against the nation.
Instead of our leaders using us to defend Nigeria they were using us to suppress citizens. We, decided to arrest them for their atrocities because no one was willing to act. Not Zik, the President, who was powerless, not Ironsi, the Head of the Army, who was a conservative. There were many reasons why we had to act: 1. To stop the killings in Yoruba land and the Middle Belt by NPC the ruling Party; 2. To stop the invasion of Yorubaland on 17th January, 1966; 3. To correct the massive rigging of the 1964 elections; 4. To free Awolowo from Prison and make him the Prime Minister; 5. To stop the terrible corruption, nepotism and regionalism of the NPC, the Ruling Party; 6. To stop Ahmadu Bello’s planned Jihad.
It was good that we acted to save the Yoruba and the Middle Belt people, and we thought that was enough to stop the Jihad. We could not foresee that they would massively attack innocent Igbos. Blame those who decided to massacre our people for their evil.
The usual lies,lamentation and justification of a lopsided murderous event. Perhaps you would care to take time out of your propaganda workshop and watch the YouTube video of Solape Ademulegun, the daughter of Brigadier Ademulegun who as a kid had to witness the trauma of seeing her parents gunned down in cold murderous blood by Major Timothy Onwategwu on January 15th 1966. Onwategwu was a regular visitor to the home of the Ademuleguns pre January 15th 1966. He regularly Sat at Mrs Ademuleguns dinning table and ate and drank. On January 15th 1966 Onwategwu entered the bedroom of the Ademuleguns and gunned down his superior officer and his heavily pregnant wife in cold blood. What could be more treacherous and back stabbing than this?
