But I thought the police offered monetary rewards for any one that helps in re-arresting the criminal? How come this guy has not collected the money?

Hi nairalanders, how do I get to 8/14, Ijaiye Road, Ogba Estate, Lateef Jakande House from Surulere??
Urgently needed

You should be able to get a direct bus to Ogba from Ojuelegba, if not take a bus to Ikeja and take another one going from ikeja to Igba, alight at the last bus stop any bike will take you to your destination from there.

Nigga be like : Oya kill yourself Na

I have kept quiet over this Biafra vs North issue hoping it will fizzle out without degenerating to a bigger problem, at this juncture it's time to speak out.

Let all parties sheate their swords,. This is not looking good. The 1966 progrom could be blamed majorly on the North, but if anything happens this time, the narrative will be that the Igbos started it, there are evidences all over the Internet to justify this assertion.

There is nothing wrong in agitating for a separate nation but doing so with hate speeches is totally uncalled for. Let's stop all these hate speeches now before it's too late.

In the event of a war no one is assured of survival, even if you survive, what of your relatives? How sure are you that they won't be touched? With peace, what looks bad today will be better by tomorrow.

Thank you

South West!

[quote author=Mazeltovscotty post=58263630]this is how it will play out.

SCENE 1: The Nigerian government will have the support of the west (Britain). Reason is because Britain will not allow the entity they created to fall. we have seen it countless time and they are not hiding it. My reference is here if you doubt me. https://www.nairaland.com/3728523/britain-says-it-not-allow
With Britain in support of Nigeria, trust me America will join the queue. I stand to be corrected but since I was born I have seen where America and Britain went against each other when it comes to international politics. Anybody thinking that these devils would support Biafra is dreaming.

With Britain and America friendship, then tell me what will happen to United Nation. Sometimes I do laugh at some people writing and taking petition to UN, who doesnt know that UN is being controlled by the West.

The only countries that will support Biafra are countries like Russia Iran North Korea China and so on. It is just a repetition of what is happening in Syria and I dnt expect any Nato Member to go against the wish of their daddy ( America) this time around.
At the end of the day, the battle will still be West( America) vs. East(Russia) just like what is happening in Syria today, Nigeria will be turned to a place where these giants display their Military superiority to the world. With American Military base scattered all over africa and some other military asset, it is a matter of time before we start seeing Virgina class submarine and Nitmaz Carrier in the Bayelsa, Akwa ibom or lagos state while Thaad or Patriot system will be rolled out in the north, F-16 in the west.
Trust me, America will flex her muscle on Nigerian oil. They see us as a ripe fruit.

As for Russia, well I dnt see Russia or its ally wining on Nigeria soil which means I dnt see Biafra wining the war. The first thing America will do is to impose 'NO FLY ZONE' in Nigeria especially in oil producing state and the case is closed. [/quote

You really over rate your importance, america and Russia will fight over Nigeria? Russia will not go beyond selling weapons to any body with money and America will hypocritically talk of horrors of war in Nigeria, they will never go against Britain who will surely be on the side of Nigeria. Ojukwu was a soldier it was easy to organize an army to fight Nigeria, IPOB can't even face a detachment of mobile policemen talk more of any army at all.

The rich and the mighty flock together, let the poor,
particularly the umeployed ones occupy the social media and keep firing cyber bullets up and down.

Markfemi2:
British built the ports not oil money
Yorubas have access to sea via lagos Ogun and ondo

Niger delta has 4 states with access to sea

Go and build your ports no one is holding you back there's one in rivers already

Sea port built in 1894, Oil became commercially viable in 1971 in Nigeria, how can oil money of 1971 build a seaport of 1894 i just wonder

GavelSlam:
You guys think too highly of yourselves.

A nation can decide to severe ties with any other nation, nationalise any business within its confines and tax any business anyway it so desires.

In 1978 Nigeria under Obasanjo nationalised British Petroleum and turned it to African Petroleum(AP). If Nigeria could do so to Britain, how easy will it be to do so to an African nation?

grandlexuz:
Ever heard of the saying "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN NIGERIA" Even as a non Catholic I have immense respect for Pope Francis.

The whole world respects the pope, even Donald Trump dare not oppose him openly.

I would never have imagined that in my life time a day will come when priests would openly rebel against the pope....but it's happening live...the world has gone crazy.

When this issue started it was funny, now it is ridiculous. Such an uproar just because the bishop does not speak the native dialect, what if he is from sokoto, there would have been a third world war.

milantustorin:
He is not sharing Garri..
He wants to unite with his igbo brothers... common sense

He wants to unite with his brothers with words like 'You take yours, I take mine? And to you there is nothing wrong with that? Common Sense indeed.

hammer6:
I HOPE I MADE ALITTLE SENSE?

PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A THINK.

U WANT NIGERDELTA TAKE UR KALABARI ISLANDS DAT ARE LEFT AND GO, WE WON'T STOP U.

HOWEVER, DONT TOUCH THE IGBO AREAS OF RIVERS.

ALL IGBO GROUPS ARE CLASSIFIED AND EVEN THE UN KNOWS DEM, SO NO DEBATE.

U TAKE URS AND I TAKE MINE, NO FIGHTING.

Na human beings una dey share so like garri Jesus minorities don suffer. U take urs and I take mine What insolence!!!!

boluvet:
ok since you ask, i will kindly oblige your request. I dont know how old you are now, but just incase you are not old enough to remember what Nigeria was like before Obasanjo took over office in 1999, let me quickly remind you. First and foremost, there was almost zero foreign direct investment in the Nigerian economy beyond the oil and gas sector. it was a time of despondence and despair for many Nigerians. It was an official policy of the government not to employ ie there was an EMBARGO ON EMPLOYMENT. As say an engineer if you didnt get a job in shell or chevron, you were sure to remain unemployed or remain in penury. The salary of the civil servant was absolutely nothing to write home about all the way to the very top. If you were not in the military, you were definitely a poor man. Telephone services were a thing for the rich in society. I remember my father used to have what we called not nine not 090 in those days and he bought it for 350,000 naira when the exchange rate of dollar to naira was under 20:1. He was using 50,000 monthly to maintain it. This is a time when neighbouring countries like benin and Togo were already using GSM. It was at this same time David Mark who was the then Minister said that telephone services is NOT for the poor. Mobile telephony was grossly resisted by the cabal in NITEL at the time because they were making and siphoning tonnes of money through NITEL. Nigeria was neck deep in international debt. A sizeable chunk of our GDP earnings through oil was used to service debt while our people suffered. I grew up in Lagos and i got my first driving licence in the year 1995. I remember driving in Lagos at the time and it was literarily impossible to drive faster than 40kmph except you wanted to die. The roads EVERYWHERE. i MEAN EVERYWHERE were death traps with potholes, no traffic lights, nothing!!! Nigeria and indeed Nigerians were in a state of despondency. Even if you had money then, there was only Nigeria airways which was grossly unreliable to carry you around. TV stations were just NTA, CHANNEL 5, 7, AND LTV 8 in Lagos.DBN and Channels had just been established just before Obasanjo came but they were just barely surviving. There is plenty plenty more, but I will stop here for now.

Now enter Obasanjo in 1999. 1st and foremost, the fact that we can even be chatting over the internet like this is the direct result of Obasanjos policies. Through the encouragement and stimulation of foreign direct investment in the telecomms sector against the cabals in the ministry of telecommunications and NITEL at the time Econet, and later MTN and later Globacom and even MTel invested in telecoms creating hundreds of thousands of jobs directly and indirectly. It was massive. For the first time, graduates actually had hope. All of a sudden because of the influx of capital, banks suddenly became viable and new banks began to spring up again creating jobs in the hundreds of thousands directly and indirectly. The financial sector became viable. Again because of the viability of the financial sector, the stock exchange which was hitherto moribund picked up pace and there was massive capital running through the NSE. It used to be old yorubas i knew who traded in shares, but all of a sudden many Nigerians got involved. Minimum wage. Obasanjo raised the minimum wage substantially. I was in the university of Ibadan in 1999 prior to which my lecturers simply did not have cars and only professor had very old rickety vehicles. After Obasanjo became president, prosperity swept through the civil service like a Tsunami. Civil servants could for the first time afford to send their kids to private schools and some even abroad. Study grants. Obasanjos Policies in educaional cooperation encouraged study grants to come to schools helping lecturers at the time to get training and exposure abroad. National Debt. For the first time, in our national history, when obasanjo was leaving office in 2007 Nigeria was able to negotiate her way out of DEBT. We were at ZERO debt. for the first time, all the money we earned could be focused on national development. if i am taking this point alone, i would say it was his greatest achievement, but it doesnt end there. CORRUPTION. Obasanjo established the EFCC AND ICPC and gave these institutions teeth to bite. Under the watchful eyes of Nuhu Ribadu, for the first time in my life i since Buhari in 1983, i saw a serious attempt in government to fight corruption. There was no regard to tribe, or religion or any other factor. For the first time, i saw big men gettiing jailed for corruption from Jolly Nyame in the North, to Tafa Balogun, the former IG of police, etc. The FCT took shape under the watchful eyes of Nasir El rufai and for the first time our capital city was looking like something to be proud of especially for Nigerians who had foreign friends. Lagos roads became motorable all the way through OSHODI!!!!, traffic lights everywhere amazing things happened (although this was Tinubu, but still Obasanjo was president). I can go on and on and on even to power generation, and other areas but let me stop here for now and take your questions as they may come.

Nigerians naively assumed that once we had a democracy that mirrored the American type, that automatically all our problems would vanish and yes, they were actually beginning to vanish but it wasnt because of democracy. It was because we had a leader who had vision. We had a leader who could recognize and utilize talent. We had a leader that was a gift from God, but guess what? Nigerians took it for granted. We did not know what God had done for us, so God took him away and gave us a sick president (Yaradua, who did his best by the way), Gave us a clueless president (who nearly sent us into civil war), and again gave us another sick president (Though a very honest man), who sadly cannot be in full control hence a cabal is ruling us. God did a miracle for Nigeria by giving us Obasanjo but we did not realize it. Now God is punishing us. Again i stand by the fact that Obasanjo is the best president Nigeria has EVER seen. I mean since 1914 amalgamation of Lord Lugard. We will be extremely lucky to get someone who even comes close.

I couldn't have said it better, When OBJ was leaving in 2007, we were of the opinion that these achiements were just normal, until we witnessed Yar adua, GEJ and now Buhari, even Osinbajo who is a professor has been clueless so far. Obj was simply a magician

Amnesty International report
Visa ban on your military personnel

And so how does that equate the blood of the innocent already shed? Amnesty international report and visa ban indeed. Bluff has never been a substitute for bullets, the North will do what they wish, the world will look the other way and play to the gallery as they always do.

But your folks will be the ultimate losers ask Boko haram victims if you doubt me.

HiddenShadow:


God bless you

You are wise

All Igbos should get a video recorder connected to the internet.

We should establish various internet sites connected to the United Nations to post the demonic killings of the Hausa Fulani people

Hahhah, I can't stop laughing, United Nations indeed, all the videos posted about how soldiers were shooting Ipob members for fun, what did united nations do about it, you stay in another's man's land and kept insulting him, he asked you to leave within 3 months you are calling united nations, very funny fellow.

Oladimejyy:
likewise your Father.
You igbos dont have respect for anybody.Didnt your mum nurse your bring brain before pushing you to lagos to sell Gala and Yoghurt.You just open your brain and type rubbish.
IF YOU DONT RESPECT YOUR ELDERS LEARN TO RESPECT YORUBA ELDERS OR ELSE YOU WILL BLAME YOURSELF

God bless you Omo Oduduwa rere, when we cherish our own no one will dare insult them. All these people typing gibberish, not one person in their own ethnic group can ever achieve 5% of what this great African statesman has achieved.

GuyWise:
Is that all could read from the whole write-up

That's the only thing I could pick from the whole write up, the rest are the usual mumbo jumbo, even this is trashy too just that its new.

The Igbo's say Yoruba's don't want them to get Biafra, now the Hausa's are saying that Yoruba's are the ones pushing Igbo's towards Biafra, now I am very confused, I don't just know what to believe.

The fact that the president is away for so long and the country had been stable far more stable than when the president was around must count for something, doesn't it?

The last time such a thing happened governance grounded to a total halt.

[quote author=NuclearWinter post=56962008]And if another genocide happens today on your people we will not complain

[/quote

No genocide will happen to anybody, this scare mongering tactis will not work. In any case you never complained during the June 12 crisis and we survived it. The only time you complain is when your chosen candidate is defeated at the polls and we are used to that already.

NuclearWinter:
Pray to your god for your FORGIVENESS.

We are not here to forgive but to never forget the atrocities of your people

So if you don't forget the attrocities what else can you do? Dance around once in a year to celebrate Biafra or sit at home or establish a faceless radio station to insult other tribes and be drawing maps up and down.

As far as you keep putting your loads on your heads and migrating to other regions to survive nobody will take you serious, whoever feeds you can as well poison you.

eph123:
That's Pastor Agu Irukwu, he leads RCCG Jesus House.

But I have read it here several times that all redeemed pastors are Yorubas may God forgive all of us.

I came to see pictures of Ambode's wife, she doesn't look like Jezebel to me though. But then nobody writes such things on the face.

It's not normal, I was in the same flight with him in 2014, he flew first class. 2019 is around the corner campaigns have started. Biko leave story.

mikky4all:
Remove the name Islam from terrorism and we all could solve this problem intelligently.

So until we remove the name Islam from terrorism, we would continue to enjoy the peace? Apt. Very apt.

Nobody would fight for FFK here, he is more than capable to fight for himself. I don't really like him but I admire his creativity with words. That guy is damn good with words.
