LeoDeKing:
Reno is so useless, noted.

But between Northerners and South Easterners, who can you appropriately describe as honest?

You may lie to yourself though.

IrawoKross:
Reno, good at playing the ethnic card.

Tomorrow, the fool will call northerners backward tribe in education. Today, he will insult Igbo, next day, he will tell you that his grandfather, Olu Don Domigos colonized Yoruba, next day, he will say the igbos are too proud.

Fools take him seriously.

Thank you for your feedback. It is not because of any bias against a certain ethnic group, as some have speculated. This is because of the cultural and ideological differences between the North and the Southeast.

Mmesoma Ejikeme Joy's case trended because she received massive solidarity from her geopolitical zone and her ethnic group, who largely defended her and cast aspersions on the integrity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, with many even citing the ethnic origin of the JAMB registrar as the reason for his bias against the girl.

But with the case of the Northerner, not one person from the North came out to defend the wrong that their fellow Northerner did because, by their culture, Northerners generally value honesty above ethnicity.

That means they are ready to go to any length, including fighting a war, to defend the truth, but will not be manipulated by ethnicity to support dishonesty.

And when the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board went after that person from Kaduna, they did not make it about ethnicity or religion. They recognised it for what it was, a public institution simply performing the duties for which it was set up by law to perform.

No victim mentality, no inferiority complex, no suspicion of other ethnicities. Perhaps we can all learn a thing or two from them.

Let me end by citing this quote from the late Chinua Achebe:

"A boy sent by his father to steal does not go stealthily but breaks the door with his feet."

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

The trial of the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, Frederick Nwajagu, on a terrorism charge brought by the Lagos State Government could not commence as scheduled on Tuesday, owing to the absence of his counsel.

The proceedings were stalled at the Lagos High Court, sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos as the defendant told Justice Yetunde Adesanya that he was surprised his counsel was not in court.

At the last sitting of the court on May 9, Nwajagu, aged 67, was arraigned by the Lagos State Government on a nine-count charge bordering on an Attempt to do Acts of Terrorism under Section 403(2) of the Criminal law of Lagos State, 2015; Participation in Terrorism Meeting to Support a Proscribed Entity, Attempt to finance an Act of Terrorism, and Preparation to Commit an Act of Terrorism under Sections 12(c), 18, 21, 29 & 12(a) of the Terrorism (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022, among others.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to all the nine counts and the trial was adjourned to July 4 and 5.

When the case was called in court, the prosecution counsel announced his presence but there was no legal representative for the defendant.
Asked by the court about his counsel, the defendant said that he was surprised about the absence of his counsel. He said that his lawyer had promised him that his junior counsel would be in court.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya has adjourned till Wednesday, July 5 for the commencement of trial.
Eze Fredrick Nwajagu was arrested on April 1, following a viral video in which he threatened to invite members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos to secure the properties of Igbo people living in the state.

On April 5, Nwajagu was docked before the Magistrates’ court by the police on a two-count charge of conspiracy and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
The police prosecutor, SP Thomas Nurudeen told the court that the Eze Ndigbo and some others at large committed the offences on March 26 at No. 2, Akeem Shitu Street, Ajao Estate, Lagos State.
He alleged that Nwajagu put fear in Lagos residents when he threatened to bring IPOB to the state. Nwajagu was also said to have publicly stated that IPOB would shut Lagos State for one month.
According to Nurudeen, these alleged offences contravene Sections 168 (d) and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

Being a remand proceeding to ensure lawful detention, the plea of the defendant was not taken.
The court simply ordered the remand of the defendant at the Ikoyi custodial facility for 30 days pending the legal advice of the state’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Dr Babajide Martins.
Following the receipt of the legal advice which indicated that the defendant had a case to answer, he was arraigned by the Lagos State Government at the State High Court.

The Nigerian government is an embarrassment

Someone is in Finland dishing out one week sit at home order and the state government is running helter skelter

What an embarrassment

Sweetrosie:
Haha, bad belle no go kee you...you always wish bad for Anambra state.

But you're not God

Essence20:
I can't engage a low-minded nonentity like you. Igbos and everything Igbo represent are way higher than you and your generations. You and your lots are quite insignificant, little wonder you're only seen online hoping from one ethnic biased post to another. After which you retire to your poor homes to feed on your remaining agbado and cassava meal- the only food you can afford in the present renewed shege promax administration, your druggie president has ushered in. Enjoy your low life miscreant, we don't have your time

mrvitalis:
Even if I do would u understand?

Go through my post u should see enough

Essence20:
People like you that Tinubu and Sanwo Olu have replaced their brains with agbado and corn are the ones portraying Yorubas as tribal bigots. I know they're many sensible Yorubas and I will always cherish and respect them. You better liberate yourself.

They're not your problem. Face your front Agbado-eating miscreant.

LOL, are you not in denial? We are the only people who voted against buhari twice, voted against tinubu and will do if again if he remains what we think he is , we are the only ones who had the gut and balls to stand against all of you joined together and some world powers and all of arabs join, we are the ones that you can't insult away or wish away or hate away, we are standing between all of you and the fulani and islam taking complete control of all of you and you think we are afraid? Wouldn't you want to be that type of afraid, I almost forgot to add that we are the only ones whose all wealth and properties were stolen by your shit hole and we're allowed 20 NAIRA only out if whatever amount we have in the bank and we bounced right back and challenging again, are you telling me you are not aware of all this or you are being politically nigeria correct? You know naa, for you to belong or benefit anything in nigeria, all you have to do is hate on IGBOS or say whatever lies even if those will be disproved immediately

Burruchaga71:
I support MNK 100%

Fejoku:
As you wish others so it shall be unto you. Woe betide you if you complain by that time.
God bless MNK and IPOB.

Fejoku:
You asked for the claims I made about Mandela and I provided them. You asked for source and I also provided them. If your head is working fine, shouldn't have asked me to provide you with the arson South Africans carried out. It means you still didn't believe the sources I presented to you. Like I stated before, hatred and prejudice is always an inhibition to common reasoning and fairness. You can choke on your hate.
Freedom for MNK and Biafra.

Will it change your perspective against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB? I doubt.
You're highly motivated by hate and prejudice so it will barely make a difference to you.
We don't care anyway.
Freedom for MNK and Biafra.
