I does not knows why people are can't do without Igbo dishes that came from the core of the east.

You should be proud of the pant of the country you came from and your dishes that orijin from there.

Chai!

You are afraid and you know it.

13. The international community cannot remain silent and not condemn the horrendous suffering caused by what, from all indications is a state-backed programme of brutal depopulation of the Rohingya inhabited areas in Myanmar on the bases of ethnicity and religion. We fully endorse the call by the Secretary-General on the Government of Myanmar to order a halt to the ongoing ethnic cleansing and ensure the safe return of the displaced Rohingya to their homes in safety and dignity.

14. In all these crises, the primary victims are the people, the most vulnerable being women and children. That is why the theme of this session: Focusing on People: Striving for Peace and Decent Life for All on a Sustainable Planet” is most apposite.


15. While the international community grapples to resolve these conflicts, we must be mindful and focus on the widening inequalities within societies, and the gap between the rich and the poor nations. These inequalities and gaps are part of the underlying root causes of competition for resources, frustration and anger leading to spiraling instability.


20. I end my remarks by reiterating Nigeria’s abiding commitment to the foundational principles and goals of the United Nations. Since our admission as a member state in 1960, we have always participated in all efforts to bring about global peace, security and development. Nigeria will continue to support the UN in all its efforts, including the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Mr Bubu, do you understand what you just read?

This man is truly daft.

I hope they will b better lovable with your loved ones involved.
I see nothing wrong with what they did to IPOB, that was how boko haram started.... that's if u read or understand history..

You don't see anything wrong with what they did to IPOB yet you can't stand my harmless post?

Perhaps you reason through your ass

BTW, my family can never and will never be part of you. We believe in justice, equal rights and of course, peaceful coexistence among people.

I hate gory sights, but I am loving these.
Keep it up, Boko guys.

These are lovely pictures we have here.

We need to see more of that from that region.

NB

The only things I don't like about those pictures :

1. Those guys appeared to still be alive.

2. These beneficiaries, as it were, are very few.

Boko guys, next time, ensure that you don't miss your targets. Make sure they die 'instanta'.

Also ensure you hit densely populated areas so then many people can benefit from your benevolence.

mike404:
DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO SPEAK UP WHEN THEIR BROTHER IS THE SECOND IN COMMAND

You mean the lackey? the stooge?

The "owners of Nigeria" know who is truly the second in command.

That brother of theirs is a mere commissioner, like they called him.

Ra88:
At least some Niger Deltan with fresh brain. We Southerners might not want to be part of Biafra, but if the country breaks up, it's win win for us Niger Deltans, I can't believe some idiots are still supporting the Scam called One Nigeria.

Like I always say, Nigeria belong to the North, No Southerner have the right to claim a Nigerian. The only reason why an Hausa or Fulani are screaming 'One Nijeria, One Nijeria is because of oil. If that oil dries up today, our own don be be dat. I support Nnamdi Kanu 100%.

That is the deal, my brother.

Unfortunately, most Yoruba's on this forum can't see beyond their nose

ShobayoEmma:
If you know this and still go ahead to kill or instigate them to achieve their plan, then Buhari government will be recorded as a total failure.

It is a colossal failure already

paschu:
For those of you who revel, rejoice and justify the mindless killings of unarmed civilians by the Nigerian army, "whoever justifies evil never escapes evil".

If you are informed about American politics, you ought to have known that IPOB has not done or said even 1/10 of what folks in California and elsewhere in the US are doing and saying to USA and Trump. Some even destroy America's historic monuments, and physically attack anyone that opposes them. Yet, none of them has been killed and no military activity was deployed there.

The problem of the FG is delusion. They see IPOB as a minority group of touts - which is so laughable and cannot be further from the truth.

FG is totally way out of touch with the reality on ground in the SE and SS. Someone should tell them.

I just want to hope it's not already too late.

Bro you have said it all.

I wonder the type of constitution and people we have in this part of the world.

Its even more shameful when you see them celebrating a president we should have all come together and tagged a terrorist.

In the last presidential election in Nigeria, they gullibly followed him because he told thm of change. Unknown to them, he and his people actually meant "change of power from the south to the north". Today we are seeing the dividend of their fruds. Now the new slogan is that our unity is non negotiable. Which type of constitution is that, does it represent the interest of the people? Were the people adequately represented when it was been put together?

If not, let us all clamour that it be jettisoned. Living together is not by force, except of course the parasites won't just let go of their hosts as it is now.

OsunOriginal:
With the deployment of soldiers in SE and militarization of key Biafran towns, my advice to Nnamdi Kanu is to handover himself to Nigeria military or SSS to avoid loss of lives and properties. If he fails to do this, SE leaders should do the needful and hand him over before the rain of destruction starts. It will be too late to start calling UN and/or AI for help after the fact.

Typical

seguntijan:
You may criticise the Nigerian Army for going to the South East but NO country will watch this level lawlessness and allow it continue. A country can only have one flag, one Commander-In-Chief, one Army, one Secret Service and one President.
In Nigeria, IPOB's Nmandi Kanu created his own Biafra Army, his Biafra Secret Service, Biafra Navy, and orders his members to hoist Biafra flags, routinely checks and harasses those who are not in support of his pursuit. No country will condone that. Not even the Zoo.
Insurrection. Lawlessness. Civil Disobedience. Somehow, something has to give.
And it is not too late for the South East leaders to contain this growing monster. They can still contain this and return to the dialogue table. And those pursuing their rights to self determination should follow the lawful process within the ambit of what is permissible under the Nigerian constitution.
These are my personal views in this unfolding madness. Constructive debate is allowed but no insults otherwise it is block/ delete. God bless Nigeria
- @gloria_adagbon

What lawlessness are you talking about?

Thesame BSS without guns or any form of ammunition? Or which "Insurrection, lawlessness and civil disobedience could be more worrisome than the Fulani herdsmen that are terrorising Nigerians everyday? Which between the two should give a serious government more concerns?

No one has ever complained that IPOB guys are threatening him/her, not even the Hausa's in the south east.

I have not seen or heard where the government of a country will roll out tanks to fight unarmed civilians. So with the way things are falling apart now, would you say I am wrong if I say Nigeria is indeed a zoo?


You see, I have not also seen anywhere there is an entry point but no exit, except of course the Nigeria constitution.


The constitution that says once you are united you can no longer separate even when you are hurting and dying, should be jettisoned if you ask me.

AUWAL999:
SEE WHAT KANU WANT TO PUT NIGERIA INTO AND THE USELESS GOVERNMENT ARE STILL WATCHING HIM NIGERIA WILL NEVER PROGRESS...

Wetin this one dey talk?

Let me see if security personnels will also be provided to secure Igbo as it was the case with the Hausa's in Aba.

ZKOSOSO:
Like this ma Edo people....!!
U don yan de matter finish..... I just pity some Auch. Fulanis wannabes!

The Auchis are not Fulani's, neither are they Hausa's. They are Edo's. I am one. My love and loyalty is for and with my people of Edo state first before any other.

I love justice, equal right and then, peace.

My heart goes with every Igbo man that is been persecuted by Nigeria as it is today.

limeta:
Edo should be at the forefront of this struggle
Have we not had enough of this master slave relationship

Backward state

You see, my sister; it beats my imagination when I see these so-called youths from southern Nigeria hailing bubu and his military men for their animalistic humiliation of the unarmed IPOB members.

They think Biafra struggle is all about the Igbo, instead of trying to see the bigger picture.

Now, as an indigene of Edo state, i know you know that there are lots of heights of excellence you can NEVER attain in this country. This is not because you are not qualified academically but because you are from a particular part of the country that some see as minority.

It is no longer news that a core northerner with 3rd class has a better chance of being employed in the federal ministry than a southern graduate with 2¹ courtesy the qouta system.

Lagos, as it is today could be called a Country in a Country, I don't have to tell you why. But how many local government are there? The answer is 20, whereas Kano state has 44. Don't forget that Jigawa was earlier carved out of it with 27 LGs. These made a total of 71.
Now how many LGAs do we have in the former Midwestern region (Edo and Delta)? 25 + 18 = 43.

Where is the money with which these LGs and more are being financed coming from? And if you think the self acclaimed "born to rule" of this country will allow for a shift from the status quo in the name of restructuring, then you must be a comedian.

Support NK and IPOB not because you are part of Biafra, but because you are against injustice in the country.
If the Igbo can gain their freedom then we can at leat be able to renegotiate for a fair deal in this country we call our own.

lafflaff123:
Shut up.

Go back to SOMORIKA where you come from near Kogi,and let the real intelligent Edo People write something sensible.

And who are those so-called intelligent Edo you refer to?

What's more intelligent than what he just said?

BTW, I never knew that some Edo's are "more Edo" than others.

uyiekpenn:
Biafra was a distant idea until Buhari came and breathed life into it.

Nnamdi kanu was an unknown figure until Buhari came and turned him into a patron saint.

The separatist struggle has been a non violent struggle but the blood thirsty Buhari has now introduced violence into it.

Let history record it.

Let it be recorded that Buhari is forcing the people to take up arms and defend themselves..

Let it be recorded that ,as at today ,the people have no guns, and, have not killed anybody in their peaceful struggle.

But let it be known that there is a natural inclination for people to defend themselves especially when they are being gunned down for no reason other than to satisfy Buhari's thirst for blood.

As Chinua Achebe would say, you can not put a burning charcoal in a child's palm and ask him not to react.

You are a true Edolite. We must all speak up against this inhumanity, pure hatred and satanic orchestrated move to ethnically cleansed the Igbo race.

We may not have what it takes to stop them, but let our voices in unison echo our grievances into distances. The world must know that there are some Nigerians who truly hate what is happening now.

All thanks to bubu for putting the country into anarchy.

To all of you celebrating this broad day light genocide against the Igbo, I hope you will not cry when the tides turn.

NiajaXionist:
The entire family of my sister (5 of them) were killed by IPOB guys, she's the only survivor because she too wasn't home when the incidence happened. But no matter the provocation from Kanu and his few IPOB members, i won't support retaliation on the innocent northern Igbo's in our neighbourhood. I swear to defend them because they commit no any offence, the same way our Hausa people committed no offence against IPOB. There problem is between them and Nigerian Military. But mark my word the blood of my loved ones is in the hands of Kanu & his followers. No matter the time it will take he most pay the price.

If what you said is true, then accept my condolence.

But if na lie, then I ask the powers that be to visit you and grant what you just asked for.

Iseh.

LordOfNaira:
Can you tell us why you think Goodluck was better than Buhari?

He doesn't owe u any explanation.
You can chose to remain a zombie till eternity, no one cares

They deny everything.
They are as useless as their president

royalamour:
MY EXPERIENCE WITH IPOB BOYS TODAY.

All my life I have never had a first hand experience of public harassment like today.

As part of our normal routine in the office and the scheme at large, we left for facilities inspection at Aba, and off Aba along port Harcourt road.

After we were done and coming back, we got to enyimba Junction/bakassi,coman see ipob boys terrorizing people, everyone running for their lives. We kept on moving but slowly and noticed that the road was kinda dry. Before we knew it ipob boys rushed out from nowhere and attacked our hilux, they where more than 15, carrying different weapons, one of them used shovel and hit the hilux hard, before I could blink my eyes they opened the door and started dragging us out, I heard my oga chorused , NO please, we are BIAFRANS " I joined them o, and was shouting, biafra, biafra.. This boys weren't even listening, one used a heavy big stone and was hitting my oga,others were removing the car Cover seat that's made of Nigeria color /coat of arm. That we are not biafra, that's why we had that on, that were is our flag or means of identification.... I didn't know what to do, they dragged me outta the car, I came down didn't know what to do, I thought of hiding under the hilux but no way because they were just everywhere. I was just praying my last prayer just incase they decide to kill us. Ever seen or witnessed any case of jungle justice? Now, that's exactly the scene today.

The other part of the road was another set of ipob boys damaging a truck full of goods, and another dangote truck full of cement on fire already.
All this I witnessed/saw within 20mins...

Finally I heard oya enter your motor and run for your life.
We sped off.
It was just I, the coordinator, and the driver. I started asking the driver why they allowed us go, our driver said he gave them 500naira that's why they said we should go.

On our way still driving carefully, because they are everywhere, we saw soldiers in their convoy coming down to calm the situation.

On entering umuahia, the check points are tight, every living thing except the driver inside a bus, car, keke must come down and raise his/her two hands up to be sure the person isn't with any weapon.
Oh well... �

Until there's a legal/defined way to go about this biafra thingy, there will never be peace. If you haven't experienced this ipob boys and there madness you will not understand , it's not about writing epistle on Facebook in the comfort of your home that they should give us biafra this and that. This boys are terrorizing us, their people, the igbos per se.
Imagine if they had killed us or any of us. Just like that.
Most of this ipob boys are touts, and thieves, I almost forgot to say that they took our drivers phone too.
And returned it when he gave them the money.

This is too much really.

My heart is still heavy.

Find attached the selfies I took before and after, u'll notice the car seat cover that was removed. I couldn't take pictures of the other scenes because I was scared.

I just Thank God we came out of this alive.

Madam, you are a liar. Your story is not adding up.

By the way, you may continue. There are so many zombies here to give you a thumb up.

lofty900:
dont tell him to shut up. He made a mistake doesnt mean he cant correct it. He is better than those dying in silence

Don't tell me you are referring to Oga Tinubu o.

Mantain:
My president. We must diversity our economy

Chai!

Meanwhile, we should allow the Fulani herdsmen to continue to humiliate us but must not retaliate until you are able to figure out what to do, right?

Old man, if there is any integrity still left in you, please resign now.

The Federal Government, at the weekend, said the intractable clashes between herdsmen and farmers may not end soon. It explained that permanent solutions to the conflicts required a lot of planning and funds, which was lacking at the moment.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who disclosed this in Abuja, noted that government was not leaving any stone unturned in its commitment to engender an ecosystem where everybody would live peacefully, devoid of clashes and killings.

He stated that the National Conference on the Transformation of Nigerian Livestock Industry, holding in Abuja from tomorrow, was one of the creative approaches to finding lasting solutions to the issue.

He pointed out that the situation became deplorable because of the total abandonment of the livestock sub-sector over the years.

“I can’t give you a date when the conflicts will end but I can give you a date when the conference will end. I can give you a date and I will, when implementation begins. And we will start as soon as possible.

“To solve this problem requires a great deal of planning and expenditure. You can’t think that after one meeting, then recommendations come, you want to solve the problem; you don’t have all the funds at once, because this is a problem that has been with us for quite a while, it’s just growing and getting worse.

“The budget we have can’t cope, the state governors must be involved. Other stakeholders who want to keep ranches, cattle must be here. If we don’t have the money, we ask the FAO, the World Bank or AfDB because that is their job- to help us out. Then, we draw our design, do a costing and pass it on to them.”

The minister stated that one of the major sub-themes of the conference would be access to land and land tenure security, expected to address farmers-pastoralists conflicts and implications on internal security; land tenure system, grazing reserves and mainstreaming gender issues in livestock production.

“The reason for this new approach is to put this matter before all Nigerians. It’s our problem. Quarrelling, hauling abuses at each other, raising suspicions, anger and all that will not help. We have a problem, we must solve it and solutions are not that difficult to find, which is why we have invited virtually everybody we think will help in providing solutions- state governors, experts, ministries, consultants, the World Bank, the FAO- we want to sit together and design a solution. A country which has at least 45 million hectares of empty land has no business allowing farmers and cattle rearers to fight,” he stated.

Former Lagos State Police Commissioner, Abubakar Tsav, backed the Federal Government on its claim that the clashes would not go away overnight. He argued that not even the anti-grazing law, already passed by both Benue and Taraba states, was enough to put an end to the incessant clashes.

“The anti-grazing law made by Benue and Taraba states will have no effect because the laws were made in a hurry an in violation of the rights of the herdsmen. The state governments ought to have carved out areas as ranches and provide water, veterinary clinics, nets, schools and so on before making the law.

“They ought to have consulted widely. Herdsmen have a right to movement under the constitution to carry out their businesses. By creating ranches, states will improve and expand their revenue base. A law which has ethnic and religious connotations can only tear us apart as a people in one nation. The current law without alternative grazing area is an indirect way of sending herdsmen out of the states.”

But former member of the House of Representatives, Bitrus Kaze said it was unfortunate that anybody in government, at whatever level, would contemplate such a pessimistic statement.

“If a government that promised to end Boko Haram is making such a pessimistic statement on herdsmen/farmers’ conflict, then it goes to show that the herdsmen have powerful people in government. Very clearly, we know that in this government, the herdsmen have the upper hand and if anybody in government at the federal level is making such a statement, it is a complicit statement and it is very unfortunate. It also suggests very well, to me, that somebody somewhere in government is enjoying the crisis between farmers and herdsmen.”

The Secretary Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Ukoh said the statement suggested that the herdsmen were above the law.

“So, we are not surprised that the herdsmen were neither arrested nor detained, there was no Operation Cobra Dance or Dancer Dance for the herdsmen… So, we are under siege and the herdsmen has been favourite and chosen warriors of government who cannot be arrested, who cannot be prosecuted and this has deepened the anger, bitterness, delusions and hatred in the land. We hope the government actually do have advisers because all their moves are usually wrong.”

Chief Femi Obakayo, a community leader in kabba tasked the government to do all within its power to stop the crises as it posed grave threat to the nation’s democracy.
