ScamHunter: I thought they claimed Opobo are Ijaw? You see how wicked these people are? So it's time for reward, Opobo are now Igbo. When it's time to steal their oil, they become Ijaw. Nigeria is a very evil country. Just the way they claim there are no Igbo in South South when they want to steal Igbo oil, but when they want to brew their Igbo hate across board, Delta State becomes Igbo because of Nzeogwu coup of '66.
Opu Obu (Opobo) are NOT Ijaw!!!!! Nigerians are very deceitful.
noleflendum: •Shortlists 8,800 for overseas scholarships
As part of efforts to boost the capacity of Nigerians to work in the oil and gas industry, the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) has shortlisted 8,800 candidates from over 26,000 applicants for this year’s Overseas Scholarship Scheme, OSS.
The PTDF OSS is an annual programme that awards scholarships to Nigerians for MSc and PhD studies in partner universities in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China and Malaysia.
Speaking on the process for this year’s selection, Mr. Bello Mustapha, Manager, Overseas Scholarship Scheme, PTDF, said the process which started in December 2021 would see the shortlisted candidates interviewed across centres in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kaduna and Bauchi.
He said: “Over 26,000 people applied for the scholarship and over 8000 were selected to come and do the interviews.
“We conduct the interviews in the six geopolitical zones of the country but we are doing in five geopolitical zones of the country this year because of the issues of insecurity in the Southeast.”
Mustapha explained that candidates in the Southeast have been advised to pick centres outside the region to enable them participate in the interview process.
“We sent them mails to choose any centre. In all the geopolitical zones we have, you can actually choose any centre that you want. You may be in the South East and you decide to come and do it in Abuja, or you can even go to Bauchi”, he added.
You can take entire Nigerians who fought Biafra to Overseas Scholarship Scheme, OSS, Ndigbo will always surpass you. For almost three years Nidgbo and Biafrans engage you in war of attrition, you enjoyed the patronages from the petroleum profits. I guess you have jobs for them in northern and western regions of Nigeria.
FatherOfJesus: From your genuine, non-tribalistic and rational mind. Do you think Nigeria deserves to remain a country?
Can you not see that the nation is failing? In infrastructure, justice, education and security.
Don't you think That dissolving Nigeria to let those who are agitated go is good? If no, what's the solution you are proferring to make this country work and to contain agitators because obviously military actions cannot work forever?
Lalasticlala and seun, I need this on fp.
The answer to the bolded is NO. From an intelligent mind bereaved of any form of bias, the amalgamated areas known as Nigeria should have been, at least, two countries.
FlyingKing: [/b]Are they fighting for a country for the dead or the living? [b]
The country for the living even if one man stands. Most idiotic Nigerians seem to want everything US but emulate. During struggle for independence US patriots said, "Give them freedom or death". Freedom is not cheap.
Paretomaster1: Thunder gbugie Dia, you, and your likes..... We're u not all warned when u start this madness Nairalanders warned u severally, and caution y'all, but u turn deaf ear, now u denying your atrocities as well.
With all the glaring evidence, if u still saying all this nonsense, then u need help... Serious mental help.... Gerraheremehn..
The bolded would strike you before any other person. This is a piece of the Iceberg. It is freedom or death. The earlier the idiotic government of shithole called Nigeria at the center decides to heed the call of IPOB for independent homeland the better for every goon in the zoo called Nigeria.
Buckeyemedia1: Kanu will regret this menace he unleashed, they warned the egotistic idiot.
Why should people who want to decamp from the shithole called Nigeria trouble you to the point of being a murderer? If certain dunces in the cesspit called Nigeria were healthy enough, at least, to stand on their two feet, the IPOB calls for independent homeland should have been forgone conclusion. IPOB does not want to be compatriot to crowd of foolish fools in Nigeria.
SecretAgent7706: The Christian Association of Nigeria on Wednesday asked the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra to stop criminalities and killings under the pretext of fighting for independence.
This is as the Christian apex body also condemned, in strong terms, the gruesome murder of Lady Fatima and her four innocent children by some “unknown gunmen”.
The Christian body made the demand in a statement signed by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, the Special Assistant to the CAN President, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle.
CAN also demand justice for the victims while calling on security agencies to fish out those responsible for the wicked act in order to stop the senseless killings in the country.
The statement read, “This criminality is totally unacceptable, unjustifiable, and reprehensible to CAN and all right-thinking people. We call on the security operatives to wake up to their responsibilities. The criminals are now operating with impunity while those who are expected to stop or apprehend them appear powerless. This cannot be the dream country of those who fought for her independence from the colonial masters.
“It is disheartening and unfortunate that nowhere is safe again in the country as killers, bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers are on rampage in every nook and cranny of the country and all the government is able to do is to issue periodic statements condemning them without any decisive action to bring culprits to book.
“CAN calls on the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra to stop these criminalities in the pretext of fighting for independence. Are they fighting for a country for the dead or the living? They should know that their criminalities are not helping the case of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
They should not turn the Southeast to a ‘No Man’s Land’ in the interest of the founding fathers of this country who hailed from the zone. Their actions are not only giving the Ndigbo a bad name but they are creating an atmosphere for Ethno-religious wars. Will a reasonable group be committing crimes like this?
“We call on the political elites, religious leaders, and the traditional rulers of Ndigbo extraction to prevail on the violent groups in the Eastern part of the country to stop needless bloodshed and tension they are causing for economic prosperity and wellbeing of the region.
“CAN commiserates with all the bereaved of the senseless killings especially the immediate family of lady Fatima and the recently murdered Honourable member of Anambra State House to Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye. May God console and comfort them as He pours healing balm on their wounds in Jesus’ name.”
The so-called CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) is noted idiotic organization. How on hell did these goons determine the UGM (Unknown Gun Men) are members of IPOB? They foolishly buried their psychotic heads in the sand when dealing with the knowns such as the Islamic zealots from the northern region of Nigeria who had just murdered a young girl who happened to be a Christian.
These useless accusations are enough to divide the shithole called Nigeria. Nigerians do not truth each other therefore there is no bases for unity. Please I suggest the north organize Islamic Republic of Arewastan while Nidigbo operate Republic of Igboland.
Alot of tremendous life threatening tragedies has happened to me in the past but this hit differently for I see zero chances of survival but God kept me.
It was like a film, in a blink of an eye I face my death one on one and saw my life slipping away in a terrible way that I could never imagine...
On Tuesday 10th may 2022 I was on my way to aba from awka with my 2by2, I followed my favorite route (umunze - arondizogu- okigwe -aba) because I no get strength for the happening in imo state, I was trying to avoid any story that touches the hrt not knowing that I'm heading to ultimate violent that I'm trying so hard to avoid because this is the road that I prefer to travel with all the time and same road was what I routed back to Anambra on Saturday 3 days before the incident.
The truth that this road is so bad and very unmotorable* but I still prefer it because 2by2 knows no bad road, and there's less disturbance on that route. ....as we were going, we saw SUV that seems to have occident and I was like wetn this person dey drive for this kind bad road that will lead to dis kind accident of jumping inside the bush like this, in all honest there's no reason for this man to jump inside the bush like this if he's not in a very high speed and lost control of the wheel, but no normal human will be speeding on this kind of bad road nah haaa unless someone is after his/her life, I was saying this to my friend and also trying to wrap my head on what the reason might be, I was still thinking of the possibility of what might be the reason then here comes another suv that was packed in the middle of the road with the glasses wind down, aaah I said if person motor spoil for here the person go hear am oo this road is too lonely and bad even to find mechanic go hard (I thought the car was faulty) to find mechanic go hard even to see motor to transport the person out of here go be war because there was no vehicle in sight for the past 10-20 minutes we have been on this road, the road is so bad and I thought the loneliness is due to how terribly bad the road is, because na only 1 Tipper dey our front since we enter this road..
I was still wallowing in a wild thought when we heard the most terrifying multiple gunshots from sophisticated Guns, the sound alone will send one to obodo afudebe, it was an ambush attack!!�!!! My hrt jumped out my soul from my body.
I throttled down immediately, they were shooting at us sparotically, I was speeding on the bad road, I bended my head(trying to dodge bullets for my mind) I couldn't see the road clearly so the car was jumping the potholes and swading from left to right, right to left in a full speed, when I raise my head I saw them massively trooping out the bush with their raffle shooting at us with so much energy.
To me there is no how I'm going to survive this because all I'm hearing nonstop was gunshots from different angles but I have to keep moving waiting for the bullets to hit me because there is no way I'm stopping since they want my life they have to work for it, at this point I have to raise my head murmured brief last prayer n focus on driving while I wait for my death because the more we move the more they kept surging out of the bush shooting, I was thinking that they have condemned all the car with bullet because it still beat my imagination how I'm Still alive, I have already asked God to accept my soul, I didn't pray for survival because I stand no chance from my point of view and look of things, mana uche mmadu aburo uche chukwu, I only prayed to God to forgive my sins, console my mum and accept my soul.
Also praying for 2by2 not to stop before I die cos it has receive a lot of serious hits from the bad roads and bullets (I thought they have condemned the my yacht with bullets) if these people catch me alive it won't be funny because I have stress them alot they will skin me alive n feed me with my own flesh so I was left with no option than ahead ahead, obe oku nyulu Kam wusa owala there.
Miraculous, magically unbelievably we stopped hearing gunshots and I'm still breathing, how come?? How manage we are still alive?? Am dreaming?? I was still speeding i noticed that 2by2 is moving with wheel that the tyre don burst since, the tipper people were waved at us to pulled over that we are safe now, we don reach where there's is houses so I managed pulled over, one of them dragged me out of the string and gave me a very tight hug, while praising my bravely and driving skills,(osi noo bravery and skills?? u no go like shot up and thank God I said in my mind) my body dey shake, I was shivering because I can't just believe what happened and why I'm still breathing and unharmed it was a war zone back there and where all those bullets went to because the car only absorbed about 6bullets out of countless magazines they emptied ontop their papa head....
They carried us to okigwe town asked if I have spare tyre, and sent some people to go get 2by2 ,(volunteerilly) they came back with the yacht it was around 7pm, they asked me to lodge at okigwe, calm my nerves and continue my journey in the morning, I thanked them for there support and kindness, buy us some drink n goat meat, give them some money in appreciation and continue my journey, I got to aba around 8pm...
Meanwhile my mother and Lily Okafor was calling me back to back, We are so bonded that whenever I'm in danger they feels it...
This my story with Fulani herdsmen...
It's not of he that willeth or runnet but of God that showeth mercy...
I'm product of grace n mercy...
I will be going to Thanksgiving tomorrow being Sunday 22nd may 2022 at the Christ the king parish Isuaniocha, you are all invited to celebrate with me for the gift of life...
Igbo: You condemn ‘the murder’ in Sokoto but you don’t have the courage and the conscience to condemn the murderous activities of Gunmen and unknown Gunmen in your area (shokoto),including the slaughter of a legislator; that is hypocrisy and cowardice.
To think you were once a senator is very torturing. Do you have any sense of logical comparison? It is funny you called them UGM (Unknown Gun Men). Do you know any of the gun men? The recent Sokoto debacle was a mob action borne out of idiotic religious fanaticism.
Can you expatiate on the above crap? I walk the streets in Igboland without armed guards. Where did you get the remote idea of cutting off head? Real men and people do not hide behind closed doors and throw stones.
EmeeNaka: You must be a member of the outlawed IPOB/ESN terrorist organization.
It's important for people in this platform to understand that IPOB/ESN terrorists are also in this Nairaland and they're the people that tries always to provide assorted covers for IPOB/ESN terrorism. Nigerians must know that IPOB/ESN doesn't exhibit Igbo behavior and are not working for Igbos and that's why they're destroying igboland.
This is likened to a scenario when dumbass Nigerians tells a person water contains certain nutrients. The last time I check though, Nigeria does not have a functional lab to test a dirty water talk less of aggregating the content of a potable water. Nigeria is a foolish example.
It has become a pattern. What happened to Obiora Agbasimalo, the Labour Party candidate in the Anambra governorship election?
The people that are calling for people to be beheaded believe that all politicians, religious and traditional leaders from the East are saboteurs and any wealthy person that does not contribute money to their madness is a saboteur. To them, any government official, like an Inec worker or a security operative from the East is also a saboteur.
I ask why certain goons are afraid of disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria? If Nigeria disintegrates today, it will not stop the imminent launch of weather satellite or disrupt the production of nails.
gozmok1: Put ipob and ESN aside and fight the senseless killings heads on, it's no longer fight for freedom, evil men and blood sucking individuals have taken over the land, today it's Anambra and Imo State, if care is not taking they will expand their criminal empire to Enugu, abịa and Ebonyi, this guy's perpetrating this evil acts are no freedom fighters, they are heartless criminals and lethal force is needed to tame their excess and neutralize them. Unleash the full wrath of Nigeria law enforcement on them. Imo State is now becoming too hot for them because of heavy military presence, now they have relocated to Anambra, his excellence unleash your military forces.
I guess you want war. However, the manner in which you write is a dead giveaway you are a lily-livered joker.
EmeeNaka: IPOB/ESN members and their sponsors doesn't deserve the life they have and they have no ability to choose. IPOB/ESN is a terrorist group and if you're a backer in any fashion, you must stop now or you will be stopped.
Talk is very cheap among characters with less intellect than human.
Christistruth00: The Biafran Soldiers didn’t have enough Vehicles to flee as well so those fleeing on foot just shot dead Non Igbo Civilian Occupants of Vehicles and took over their Cars in their desperation to escape the Federal Forces
That was why Both sides of the Road from Benin to Agbor was full of dead bodies of Non Igbos
What a stream of thought from a deluded punk. If Biafran soldiers did not have enough vehicles to flee from the battle front yet have time to search and commandeer vehicles, it means the pursuing Nigerian army did not have vehicles to chase. Nigerian had enough vehicles to race from Lagos to Asaba within 24hrs bearing the stubborn resistance from the Biafran units. Do you realize war is kill or be killed? Please I suggest you continue to masturbate on your 1959 doctored picture of Nigerian army officers.
HIGHESTPOPORI: So what is the use of Esn, why did Ipob attack security agents whremainsich caused break down of security when they can't protect the people.You see why we are all blaming Ipob.Since they claim they are not responsible
Are you this dull? You cannot strike a difference between street and bush. ESN has remained in the bush flushing out Fulani herdsmen. Where did you get the whiff of the so-called security agents? I guess you have lapses in memory. Have suddenly forgot about "Operation Python Dance"?
HIGHESTPOPORI: So that you and your group will kill him and later blame Fulani abi
I walk the streets in Igboland without armed guards from Fulani armed forces cum Nigerian armed forces. Also, I know that armed men and women who shoot people in Igboland do not speak Igbo language. The people who have encountered them attested the gunmen do not speak Igbo.
after4: see nah just gutter propaganda as usual, subject it to empirical scrutiny you go see the guy start dey run. nonsense and classified files wey dem no dey see
Bro the type of skillsets who post craps on nairaland made me believed Nigeria is indeed basket of fools.
The Biafran Army killed all the Non Igbos on their Withdrawal route between Ore in the Western Region and Agbor
When they reached Agbor they Slaughtered every Non Igbo they could find
The Mainly Muslim Town Of Abudu along the Withdrawal route from Benin lost almost its entire Population
You wrote like an idle civilian who have not read OP manual on tactical withdrawal. Units whose enemy is right at their tails do not have time to organize a firefight talk less of searching and sorting out civilians to kill.
spearman: The cold-blooded massacres in Midwest were not monopolised by the federal troops only. In a US confidential report of 15 October 1967 recorded that, “as the Biafrans retreated from Benin to Agbor, they killed all the men, women and children they could find who were not Igbos. The town of Abudu, one of the larger places between Agbor and Benin lost virtually of its population with the exception of a small proportion that fled into the bush.”The British expatriate teacher, Anthony Charles Stephens was killed there when he refused to surrender his car to the retreating Biafran forces. Father Coleman an Irish SSMA priest said before Biafran troops left Agbor “without a fight” they killed off most of “non-Ibo men, women and children.”
The statement in red could never come from US, a country which has been battle-tested on numerous occasions. Anybody who stepped feet on a parade ground knows a retreating soldiers have no pleasure to search and sort who was Igbo or not to be killed.
EmeeNaka: IPOB/ESN terrorist group and their backers here in Nairaland and elsewhere across the world, hinged their phantom liberation struggle on the need to emancipate the SE/SS and Some parts of Benue from the so called 'Fulani-dominated' NIGERIA and also from the grip of Fulani terrorist/Herdsmen who are noted for killing villagers and destroying farm produce across different communities in Nigeria. IPOB/ESN is led by Nnamdi Kanu, a university drop out and a barber in UK, who out of frustration, and the need for personal enrichment enrolled with MASSOB. But after losing out with MASSOB, he joined IPOB and currently lead them even in Jail. IPOB was blacklisted by Federal government of Nigeria, as a terrorist group due to their vengeful vituperation and hate filled assertions. Currently, IPOB/ESN has launched violence across SE and SS of Federation, committing dastardly acts, destruction of lives and properties, beheading, rape, kidnapping and Human sacrifice. Violence led by IPOB/ESN has led to more death and loss of economy to Igbos and SE/SS residents in one year than by Fulani terrorist in 15 years. IPOB/ESN's claim of fighting for Biafra is a huge lie. Their plan is now laid bare which is to hijack the system of government and economy through terror for personal enrichment. They have no mercy for the people they claim to be fighting for. IPOB/ESN has set SE 10 years backwards and they still have worst act to perform. If IPOB/ESN are not crushed now, ' Onye obula ga-agulu ife ohunyere n'oku'
I warned about IPOB/ESN.
I had taken a monkey over you in the department of intellect. Freedom is not cheap.
Maxymilliano: Igbo People Are Largely Responsible For Killings In South-East, Not Fulani, Other Outsiders – Ebonyi Governor, Umahi
Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi has identified the unknown gunmen terrorising southeast Nigeria and killing people as those who hail from the region and not outsiders.
Some southeasters and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have accused some governors in the region of sponsoring outsiders to terrorise the southeast.
But while answering questions regarding the identities of the killers on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Umahi said the atrocities committed in the region were largely carried out by youths from there.
He said, “People tend to be funny at times when they say that we have been invaded by outsiders, but it is not true.
“We have people from other regions that are in the South East. There’s no tribe that doesn’t have criminality. I wouldn’t say some of these people from other tribes don’t engage in criminality.
“What I call bandits are people that engage in violence; and they are our people, South-East people. The youths, some of them are in this category.
“So, when people say insecurity in the South-East is being imported, I do not buy that. Because I am a Governor, I do security reports.
We have arrested a number of these people, and it should be that they are about five or 14 per cent of those outside the South-East. If we have 90 per cent of our youths engaging in these things, you cannot say the South-East is being infiltrated.”
He also said, “We engaged with some of the bandits, we made contacts with some of them. We had to say, what is your problem? If it is infrastructure, we have done that.
“If it is jobs creation, we have addressed that through direct labour. The bandits are angry about the lack of what to do, and we said to them that if your only trouble is that you didn’t have formal education, there is no job for you to do.
“We put them together and said, if you will stop attacks on our strategic infrastructure, killing of our people and attack on security agencies, we can rehabilitate you. So, we have rehabilitated a number of them.”
I would love for this moronic loudmouth to work the streets in Igboland without heavily armed guards from Fulani armed forces cum Nigerian armed forces.
FERNANDEZISBACK: That was some Lucky dude..have you ever thought of having a private gun with ya?at least you are gonna feel safe and all..
The ban of private ownership of guns in the shithole called Nigeria is a major contributor to the anarchy. The law of gun ownership in the shithole called Nigeria favors the criminals. The criminals include the so-called law enforcement units.
