Like the other Igbo guys escaped because they are connected. Your big lie that he strangled the lady has no support in the evidence at the trial of Danjuma for crimes of which he is acquited.
What is good fir your Igbo BROTHERS is good for Danjuma. Infact he was acquited by the Courts and those who are guilty were punished.

Ignorance is truly a disease. I suggest go and seek help. Someone posted more than once even the names of the officers involved in the apo 6 killing and NONE of which are igbo yet you are still too clueless to comprehend wtf you read in the first articlr despite multiple have broken it down to a minor level that even a child should understand it.

Go back to school and get back whatever money you paid for your education. It's obviously mediocre.

ChimaAgbalajob:
Although i vehemently disagreed with Ipob plan for boycotting a meaningless gubernatorial elections just to test their power. I dont think Ipob has been defeated for that single silly miscalculation.

Nigeria lopsided structure and lack of fairness in anything will keep IPOB alive except there is restructuring or some sincere effort to address the imbalances in the country

Infact i believe IPOB will emerge stronger and wiser in time

All IPOB did was give avenue for obiano to outrig the other candidates considering he's the incumbent governor. That's all. Usually, desperate politicians would contest the results but that's given avenue to IPOB and given them exposure that their boycott made impact thus, would rather lick their wounds than showcase biafra is what the people wants so rather accept the results. All IPOB did was benefit obiano. Idk who was the genius behind the boycott the election thing but, he or she wasn't thinking straight when they though that up.

Personally, what ipob should have done is foster someone up as their candidate and used their popularity to gather votes for that person. They bleeped up in my opinion. I honestly pity Anambra that they had to have that obiano as governor again. A shame!

More of "dead and buried" act of IPOB

How? You rigged the hell out of an election and yet couldn't even muster up to 500,000 out of 2.6 million that registered to vote and you call the people that made that possible as "dead and buried"

Heck the few collected voting ballot that INEC cooridnator exposed to social media, the number reported as 'official results' reported by INEC differentiate from what gotten in the polling booths.

Rigging an election intensively and even writing "high turnout", posting old images from other states election and then that same day only to go back and lick your vomit to report that it was "low turnout" despite earlier you reported to us that it was "high turnout" says highly on how desperate you people have gotten.

Heck if we go by statistics, based on what INEC reported as anambra registered voters, that means more than 2 million anambra supports ipob and biafra while not even up to a million supports Nigeria even if we used the rigged figures inec reported as the "official results"

They are sure "dead and gone", the same way you 'technically defeated' boko haram

jpphilips:
Your ignorance stink, what is the worth of 10,000 biafran pounds outside Biafra, I dont want to talk about Africa or the world, lets talk about Lagos.
What is the Biafran pounds worth in Lagos?
Give us exchange rates how the Biafran pounds exchanged at the time?

You had useless 10,000 Biafran pounds but recieved £20 of real value, yet you have mouth to talk rubbish.

jpphilips:
You must be a child when that policy was rolled out, igbos who still had money in the banks changed it to Biafran currency a worthless currency with no global recognition.

As a matter of fact, the Biafran currency had no exchange rate so it is practically useless, except amongst Biafrans. Other Biafrans used Nigerian pounds for "Ahia attack" during the war.

After the war, the FG used that policy to mop up the useless currency from circulation by giving out those £20 notes of real value. So that was a huge favour in real value.

SIRTee15:
The 20 pounds was for people who had biafra pounds in their bank accounts....
The strategy was to mop up the biafra currency in circulation...
The policy was to give 20 pounds to anybody who has biafra pounds in his bank accounts irrespective of the amount....
It doesn't matter if it's 1 million or just 100 biafra pounds....
So long u can prove u have biafra pounds in your bank account, the whole amount will be exchanged for 20 nigerian pounds....
Even if its one biafra pound...
Of course the igbos had hoped their biafran pounds will be exchanged for the nigerian currency at a fixed n reasonable rate....
Thus it's understandable if they were disappointed at the policy...
But the policy has nothing to do with those holding the nigerian pounds....
Let's not forget some igbos stayed back in Lagos during biafra....
Thus it would have been stupid if FG started confiscating bank accounts with ibo names...
Pls let's be enlightened....

Then explain to me why my family was affected with the 20 pounds saga then oh history distorter. I'll be waiting.

Considering Asaba was not among the Biafra and my family lived in Lagos prior to the Biafra war, none changed their money to Biafra pounds. Therefore, history rewriter, explain to me why my grandmother couldn't take it her husband's own money from the bank despite she had evidence it belongs to her husband, instead she received 20 pounds. I'll be waiting for that answer. Thank you.

"To me personally, I believe that Sw it's the least progressive region in the country despite all their claims. My reasons being they literally the only region that didn't have any hindrance ( something they pride themselves with) yet all the regions that did (ss, se and north) are literally neck to neck to them in all the statistic provided. That's speaks alot sadly, especially we now see they decorate the poo out of their papers before presenting it. A shame if you ask me."

This statement by ikechuob is the real reason I dont take SWers serious when they try to compare themselves with igbos. Imagine the only region that didnt experience war in Nigeria. They should be on a level of development of some south african medium sized cities or some north african citiies. Ikechuob, you really exposed the incompetence of these people.

That's why I said I see them as least progressive. They should be MILES ahead of every region in that country due to that single factor. The fact they aren't and aren't even ashamed of that speaks severely on their developmental point. I laugh and smh most times because these are the same set of people that reports their ancestors built this and that, developing blah blah before whites came, and I look at them now, the first thing that runs to my mind is "so what happened to that same prowness they claim their ancestors have.". Even when I look at the Yoruba community in other African country, like the ones in Benin, etc, they equally underdeveloped. Porto Novo ( the one in Benin, not the one in Cape Verde or Spain) belongs to them, yet that City (despite being as capital) is one of the least developed African cities I've ever been in my life. It speaks so much. I honestly start questioning all the stories this people have said about their "developmental" history considering the amount of paper decoration we see them do just to "look good."

ayzTIGER:
Nice one bro. I like it when they do the paper decoration just to win the e war and most likes while their region keeps going down. The last time Fayose's brother pointed out how dilapidated Ibadan is they fiercely attacked him just to save face.

I think its time we leave these people to wallow in self deceit with every of their concocted statistics so that with time they will see what they have done to themselves .


Even in Education they are now dragging last position with Northerners.

Who else does it hurt but them. In few years while every region surpassed each region is currently reporting, they'll still be doing the paper decoration in other to look "most progressive" while hunger and poverty kills them.

I recall reading here that during the beginning of the recession, they were the only region were people were literally breaking into neighbors home just to steal food. It speaks highly on the reality on ground over there. Truly it's a freaking shame.

Tolexander:
Before, the excuse was Goodluck Jonathan hated the state and was withholding large part the state allocation.
Now, another excuse.

When he was contesting for the gubernatorial election in 2011, all his manifestoes were centered on how Osun state will be self sufficient on her IGR, not relying on the allocation from the FG. As a commissioner in Bola Ahmed Tinubu's cabinet, Aregbesola cited Lagos state as a case study, where the State allocations for months were withheld by President Obasanjo, how he was able to help in generating more IGR for Lagos state.

What is now his excuse after coming out to tell us the monthly IGR of the state has increased from 300million to 1.6billion and still increasing?

I remember starting this to a Yoruba who claimed " you can't argue fact on stats".

When your reality contradicts your "facts reduced to stats", your stats is something to laugh and mock at. When your stats in 2013 was exposed as fraud simply by a reduction in oil money, your stats is something to laugh at. When stats claiming high IGR can barely feed or pay salary's and continually beg for handout and bail out, your stats is something to laugh at.

Match your reality to your stats if you want it to be taken seriously. Let's use the Anambra you competing yourself with. Anambra people claim their state is progressing. Thus far, they report that no salary is being owed in their state, the government is not begging for hand outs and bail out thus, their reality proves their statement. You on the other hand, your paper statements does not even collerate with your reality.

Your reality would continue haunting you no matter how much paper decoration you try to do. Match up your reality with your paper stats if you want it taken seriously.. Mkay

It's a shame SW always do paper decoration to try and save face and appear "most developed and most progressive" they delude themselves with. What's the benefit of having high IGR on paper, decorating your rot with beautiful numbers, yet starving? It's like a man showing pictures of gorgeous houses, cars, clothes, etc but yet not having any money to feed himself. Who does it benefit to lie to yourself? Who does it benefit to form? It's like they are too ignorant to realize they are harming and mocking themselves, noone else.

After all, let's look at now. We all keep wondering what happens to their high IGR. Most don't believe they shouldn't be helped because their leaders claims they are sufficient enough to take care of themselves based on the reported high IGR. Then you have others whom don't believe their figures anymore as it rarely matches their reality/what's on ground and then you the set that flat out believe the stats but now see them as the most corrupt set in the country since almost all their reported IGR seems to be embezzled. In end the paper decoration does nothing but damage their image and make them a laughing stock yet they still continue. What a shame. I once said that only God knows the real figures of SW states and I still believe that.

To me personally, I believe that Sw it's the least progressive region in the country despite all their claims. My reasons being they literally the only region that didn't have any hindrance ( something they pride themselves with) yet all the regions that did (ss, se and north) are literally neck to neck to them in all the statistic provided. That's speaks alot sadly, especially we now see they decorate the shit out of their papers before presenting it. A shame if you ask me.

BabaRamota1980:
If you need a total inclusion of Igboland go talk to your Ikwerre brothers and your Efik brothers that they are all Ibo people. Wetin concern me with anything in your family affair.

Even your leadership identify and submit to the Yoruba advancement. Pictures dont lie, and culture is a powerful tool of indoctrination.

We rule...you try to be like us, but you will never be us!

Not shocked you resulted to rambling. People want to be like them . Okay whatever you say to appease your deflated ego.

Also not shocked the ignorance I speak of earlier displayed again considering this thing thinks the ikwerre are the only igbo outside of SE. Not shocked at all.

Leaving with the same statement I said before... Only region that had no hindering yet all region that did are neck to neck to you. What a shame!!

BabaRamota1980:
Here we go...Ibo has no point left in defense and runs outside to find rescue.

After starting shiit, when you are hit hard, you begin to look for help outside.

Wetin concern me with pakistan and taliban country?

The point is between Yorubaland and Iboland. Leave outsiders alone to their own issues.

I say the feet are witnesses against your mouth. Count Yorubas in Iboland and count Ibos in Yorubaland.

Our sons in your land are travellers that eventually return home and keep their attachment in your region very scanty. Your sons here in Yorubaland have even paid for burial plot sef. They dont want anything to do with Iboland ever again, not even in death.

So where is your progress?

Ignorance is when you can't even understand what I wrote contradict the statement you presented. Re-read your earlier stamens then re read my replies. If you still can't get it, call someone to translate it to Yoruba for you if it's too much English for you.

If you say so. Next time you make a story as the bold, make sure the story you trying to tell does not contradict igbo culture. If Igbo in far away USA, UK, and other foreign nation still pay the thousands it cost to return their dead relatives home so he or she can be buried home, the Bleep will the case be different for Lagos. Let me guess, Lagos is so more progressive than aboard. Next time make up a story that's believable. Mkay.

BabaRamota1980:
We know Anambra is the best state in Iboland. If you remove Anambra Iboland is nothing. Anambra is below par with any part of Yorubaland.

Oyigbo LGA alone contributes more than your entire region does hence your clan tries as desperate as you can to plaster SE as the only igboland and tries as desperate as you can to push the rest of us out of the igboland title cause you are aware us and them together, you ain't shit. Even at that SE still surpasses una. They started from Square 1 from little to zero help yet they right next to you in matters of few years despite you didn't have to start from Square 1 like they did and had government assistance multiple times unlike them. Joke of the century.

If you say so. Tell that to people that haven't been to your Yorubaland. They are more likely to believe it.

I did not ask you for story, this is more like a WAEC question.


Is Ogun state collect g more IGR than all your ipob villages combined, yes or no?

I'll repeat my question again... Is the IGR only seen on paper? If not, why the state seek bail out repeatedly. Why are the indigenous begging more than those it supposedly has higher IGR than?

Question again: is it only on papers the IGR seen?

deomelo:
[s][/s]



I did not ask you for story, this is more like a WAEC question.


Is Ogun state collect g more IGR than all your ipob villages combined, yes or no?

Does ogun have to bail out more than once before they can't pay common salary. If so, what happened to the IGR? Is it only only on paper it can be seen?

Are there more beggars in ogun than "ipob villages combined"? If so, what happened to the IGR? Once again, is it only papers it can be seen?

deomelo:
See major crying and wailing all because Ogun state dey collect more IGR than all your ipob villages combined?...

Wahala dey o....

I ask that same question again....is ignorance natural or have all that ritualism now created a brain damage over there hence ignorance is so common among the yourbas.

News flash ediot... I'm Delta Igbo and I'll still call you unprogressive community for exactly what you are unprogressive despite your claim.

You the ONLY region in the entire country with zero hindrance in terms of development. Ss had Miliants and Biafra war, SE had Biafra war and 20 pounds saga, North has boko haram, you had NOTHING yet all the other regions are running alongside you and neck to neck to you despite they had to stop for awhile before returning to the race. You are the least progressive region in the country.

GoldNiagara:
This reminds me of Mariama Ba's So long a letter! Ba made some sense, for you bro, you are trying too hard. Facts reduced to stats can't be wished away. This stats is gonna haunt you guys until you will catch up.

MyNewJackeT:
BRUTALITY

Bros abeg write this as a new topic and remind them that it was 20 Nigerian pounds not British pounds.

hope to comment if you create a new topic

Feel free to create a topic with the statement...I have no problem with it. You very likely won't see me on this forum for awhile again

I'm trying to limit by time on NL because this place reeks of too much stupidity, ignorance and political buffoonery especially by the end yourbas and I want no part of it anymore.

I'm curious on something...are yourbas naturally ignorant or was it all the ritualism they do have started to affect the entire region.

I'm sorry to say this but you have to a complete buffoon not to realize comparing yourself to a region which had to start in the beginning while you didn't and showing The entire world that they are very very close to you in matters of 40 years while you that had no hinder makes you looking unproductive, not them. You mocking your own self dum dum. Don't you people have any shame at all?

SE you trying to mock started from Square 1 after the war with little to zero help while SW which had ZERO hinder is literally alongside a region which had to restart the run and you aren't even fucking ashamed of yourself?

Newsflash SW, you are literally the only region in Nigeria that had no hindrance in development yet all region, north included, is running alongside you proves you aren't developmental as you think. You should be MILES ahead of everyone yet YOU ARE NOT. Speaks volumes on the uselessness that is you.

Secondly, the fact your region had to be bailed twice like they pointed out while the state you are comparing yourself to didn't proves what you provide is nothing but media statistics and PROPAGANDA. A state that supposedly makes more IGR than a region didn't need to be saved several times before they can pay common salary. What happened to the high IGR?

We all remember this about Osun having higher GDP than all SE, all came from NBS stats in 2013
https://www.nairaland.com/1439842/osun-state-gdp-higher-than/5

And when oil money reduced, we all saw in our eyes how much of a PROPAGANDA that Osun stats was. Ironically, from NBS

In addition, isn't it funny that it wasn't until a Yoruba became leader of NBS that stats started favoring SW. Question is why is it that such occurred only when a Yoruba took over? We all recall the data circulated on NL where a non Yoruba was the NBS leader which listed SW as the most poverish region in South. A year later after a Yoruba took leadership that data changed in matter of one year. How that miracle occur in a year is still beyond me.

Lastly did I really see someone compare SW to USA. Are you fucking kidding me? That's a huge insult to USA for that. First of all, not one single USA state owes it's citizens salary. Secondly, not one USA state is begging for bailout. Third of all, not one single USA state IGR does not reflect what's on ground. Yes there are some poor in USA but not to the extent of SW. In addition, each USA state compensate their poor by providing necessary living things for free to the poor. The same can't be said for SW. Lastly, you rarely see beggars in streets in any USA, excluding big cities like Miami, LA, NY, Chicago, etc. Majority of the beggars in USA have some form of illness be it mentally and or physically handicap thus, having difficulty getting a job or they have a huge substance abuse problem thus, have difficulty keeping a job. In SW, the opposite is the case. You see niggaa, able bodies, begging all over the street. Hell I recall when ojukwu died, some literally provided images of you lots in your streets as well traveled to SE to beg during the burial of a man you claim to despise. Sorry to burst your bubble but your reality NEVER matches your paper stats just like Nigeria having 'the highest Gdp in Africa, blah blah" never matches that nation's reality.

Lastly, before anyone start shouting Oxford blah blah. In case you fools aren't aware, foreign companies and universities use the data provided by the government of the country the data is on. So yes, NBS data gives the info of foreign statistics. Like a big fat duh? I know this for a fucking FACT because my school had to a statistics for Costa Rica and we used what the government of that country sent us. I was part of the data collector for the stats of that study so I know this for a fucking FACT.

Finally, I'll say it again. You people aren't aware how dumb you look with each attempt to chest beat. I'll say it one last time for a region that had no hindrance competing with regions that did and those regions are literally neck to neck with you actually proves you as the least progressive. You should be ashamed of yourself, not jumping up and down as una doing.

ruggedised:
now I believe ipobs are miscreants, this is uncalled for, why looking for innocent abokis to kill Operation eke dance has bring out their true colours. I totally condemn this act

****

From your own insurgency history, when Niggerian military attacked Boko haram, they went after the CIVILIANS. Likewise the session situation for Niger Delta militant.

Eventually this would escalate to them going after your military. You lots are to stupid to actually learn from your history.

As for those shouting "this is evidence of IPOB terrorism. ICC, UN, etc would not go after Nigeria army after this.".

I'm going to leave you with this new
https://www.google.com/amp/dailypost.ng/2017/09/13/un-monitoring-nigerian-armys-operation-south-east-siasia/amp/


They've been monitoring the activity since your military invaded that region.

What this shows to UN and pretty much everyone else excluding maybe niggerians with illiteracy is a group of peaceful group PROVOKED by your military. There are videos and images of IPOB getting killed and made to even swim in mud by your own soliders before anger took over. UN once labeled SE the most peaceful in that your nation before your military came in so you have to justify wjy it was necessary fpr yoir military to invade a peaceful region so Goodluck using this as evidence against the UN, ICC and USA case. I want to see how your military or rather your government plans to use a reaction from their provocation to defend their acts prior to that provocation. Please do make sure to cc me when una start. I'll love to see how that pans out in court.

A nation filled with illiterates. No wonder niggeria is the backwards mess it currently is.

Fulmigati:
I have not met one Igbo in diaspora that supports One Nigeria. They are overwhelming in favor of secession and some of the biggest backers behind this agitation.
Nigeria love consoling herself with delusions.

You have some, they limited though but mostly it's due to lack of knowledge. The ones that don't keep in touch with what's going back home are the ones that still supports Nigeria. One thing I've noticed is the news about the military siege in Igboland have finally reached up here and ppl are starting to talk about it and trust me, even the ones still clueless will get the info especially considering how fast the gossip is spreading.

Currently, there's this woke movement going on among igbo abroad. Since NK came into picture, the Biafra talk have escalated not just among the igbo home but those here as well and in Euope. I've lost count how many biafran discussion/history learning held in the last month alone, talk less this entire year.
One thing I can give Nnamdi Kanu is that he single handily woke up all igbo be it at home or outside. The dude did magical!!

RoyalUc:
What if the group reside in Ghana or Benin Republic?

I did a Web search of am for ya

https://www.google.com/search?q=Southeast+Professionals+in+Diaspora&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Besides this declaration from "SE professionals in diaspora." about supporting operation python. oya show me anything else fron the so called group. I'll be waiting.

RoyalUc:
Don't be angry bro., which part of 'abroard' do you live?

I live in USA.

And I'm not angry dude, I look at that government as pathetic and pitiful With a capital P

Heck if the morons are going to make up a fake group at least be smart enough to make up what type of groups you'll find aboard. I dare you Google the so called group and I bet you a billion dollars that other than this article, nowhere else do they exist.
Heck there's unity between us and SE igbo so you'll never ever ever see a group meant specifically for SE in diaspora. The group tend to be igbo of all regions or states separately or towns separately, never region. That's the idiocracy of this their "igbo diaspora" story. Not even smart enough to learn how things are done outside of that niggeria.

Anyone believes this article your dumber and gullible as f2k. I live aboard and I loudly tell you I've yet to meet ANY igbo diaspora who agrees or supports the army movement in Igboland right now. I've not met NOT ONE.

Moronic useless government using us to shield their worthlessness.

Throwback:
Do you know that Boko haram lead by a living mohammed Yusuf almost took over power in a Northern state and unleashed mayhem and were killing Christians all over the city for 2 solid days before the police with army could suppress them?

Do you know that many Christians were captured alive by boko haram and were delivered to the stronghold of Mohammed Yusuf in the city. They were subsequently executed after forcing them to renounce their faith.

When the Soldiers finally caught him, he had taken many lives. Yet the soldiers still handed him to the police alive, before he was killed.

A monster was killed. A monster who had no human rights. Yet an Igbo man trying to win an argument says the government turned boko haram towards violence?

All the historical facts I have detailed above sounds to you like boko haram was a lovely country club pressure group?

Shame on you.

No i did not know that. Since it's such a historical facts, please do provide evidence to back up your story or should I just take your word for it.

But while I'm at it

Here's the chronology of what happened

Around 13 years ago, according to the United States Institute of Peace, the sect that became known as Boko Haram was a small, isolated, peaceful community dedicated to practicing strict Islamic Shariah law. In 2002, a group of extremist Muslim youths who worshipped at the Alhaji Muhammadu Ndimi Mosque in Maiduguri, or the capital of Borno state in northeast Nigeria, decided to depart from Nigerian society and the corruption they saw there and embark on a religious pilgrimage modeled after the Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Medina. They traveled to Kanama, near the border with Niger, to create their separatist commune. Mohammed Ali was their leader, and he called upon the group to follow “true” Islamic law.


Even after Nigerian security forces in 2003 killed the majority of Boko Haram’s members over fishing rights in a local pond, the group didn’t follow up with any violent reprisals. Police killed most of its 70 members—including Mohammed Ali—in the 2003 episode, but the group managed to reconstruct itself.

The few survivors returned to Maiduguri. They were led by a young cleric named Mohammed Yusuf, who established a mosque for the group. The community offered shelter to refugees from neighboring wars in Chad, opportunities for young jobless Nigerians, and food and resources for anyone who wanted to live there. Authorities left them alone and the group operated its own governing cabinet, large farm, and police force, which upheld the community’s strict religious law.

“Although from the outset, the sect’s mission was to impose the Shari’a on Nigeria, the leadership went about its preaching peacefully,” Simeon H.O. Aloziuwa wrote in the Costa Rica-based University for Peace’s Peace and Conflict Review in 2012. A report produced by the European Parliament also described Boko Haram as “originally a peaceful Islamist movement.”

Peaceful Democracy Ambassadors, a Nigerian group committed to human rights and peace, describe Mohammed Yusuf as “a charismatic young cleric” who founded Boko Haram “as part of his push for a pure Islamic state in Nigeria.” Though it’s not certain where the group received its money during its first few years, some experts believe that Yusuf received donations from Salafist contacts in Saudi Arabia or wealthy northern Nigerians. One Boko Haram donor who spoke with the United States Institute of Peace claimed it was part of his responsibility as a good Muslim to give money to charity—in this case, Boko Haram.

There is some disagreement about when exactly the group’s turn toward violence began. Many experts believe that in 2007, Mohammed Yusuf may have ordered the death of a prominent cleric who had criticized the group.


When the group again made headlines in 2009, it was for clashes with the police after an argument about traffic regulations. Then Boko Haram threats escalated; Yusuf released viral videos speaking out against the police, which attracted a large audience in Nigeria. The government and police both tried to crack down even more aggressively on the group, arresting hundreds. Boko Haram attacked multiple police stations. When the authorities regained control of Maiduguri, they reportedly began executing hundreds of Boko Haram members.

A local journalist told a researcher at the United States Institute of Peace that police likely “disappeared” and executed over a hundred local imams and rulers, or suspected sympathizers with Boko Haram. Yusuf, the Boko Haram leader, was allegedly arrested by the army on the street and handed over to police—where he was executed within hours, according the United States Institute of Peace. The police claim he was killed while trying to run away after being interrogated. Regardless, Yusuf’s death marked another transition. The remaining members of Boko Haram fled, their locations potentially including radical camps from Algeria to Mali, only to return in 2010 more violent than ever before.

Shehu Sani, the president of the Civil Rights Congress in Nigeria, spoke with PBS’s Frontline about his assessment of Boko Haram’s turning point, which differs slightly from other research:

The [2009] killing of Mohammed Yusuf was a result of a security traffic incident. And as a result, the subsequent killing of hundreds of members of the group [after] a simple traffic conflict between the group and the police became the ignition that spiraled into the violence and bloodshed that we have been suffering the last three to four years. So we had a movement that was peaceful and that was crushed by the Nigerian army, Nigerian police, and later they went underground and became more monstrous.

But do please provide a link of your so called "historical facts". I'm sure you know more than several, including people who monitored their activities, have written about them.


From the words of an ambassador, a member of the EU parliament, civil rights congress of your own nation and a professor.... Boko haram was as the EU parliament stated "peaceful Islamic movement" which your own government stupidly turned violent in 2009

Do please back up ur historical facts up with links. Thanks

masterpolyglot:
I have now seen than you don't have a single atom of common sense, keep ranting, I won't respond to you anymore.

When can't defend their nation stupidity, they result to rubbish

Answer this question...if the Nigerian military did not kill Yusuf, who was peaceful, would Shekau have took over?

Use your "atom of common sense" then and explain it.

masterpolyglot:
Can you see how stupid you are? So they should wait till the militia start carrying arms and killing human beings before acting. Wasn't that how Boko haram started? If you went to ordinary secondary school, you would have known that an individual or group of individuals cannot start a militia without the government responding in kind.

What your military is doing is EXACTLY what turned boko haram into carrying arms. Duhhh. Have any of una even bothered to read the history at all?

If your military didn't harass BH repeatedly as well as attacked and even killed the BH leader, it would have still been a peaceful group today. Your military turned boko haram into the violent militant they are doing. Our of una stupidity of "show of force". You're in the process of doing that to another group. You did it to ND militants, did it to Boko Haram and in the process of doing it to IPOB... It's like you f2kers don't even learn from your history

ritababe:
ask buhari abeg, abi you nor hear when he appoint 50 DSS from his state when the whole south south no even reach 30?

I repeat my question again: since he's a "Nigerian in a Nigerian state", how many southerners are police commissioner in northern state. Abi they aren't "Nigerians" worthy to commission "Nigerian state"?

masterpolyglot:
When he was launching a militia and a security service in Nigeria, a federation, you expect the army to leave him and watch you people trample on the nation? You must be insane.

And did that militia kill anyone compare to the Fulani herdsmen?

So why are the murderer of SEVERAL communities ignored but a group asking for referendum which have yet to kill one soul until yesterday get the entire military running towards them

Una hypocrisy sticks to high heavens.

Like I said the death of those Hausa and the army falls squarely on BUHARI

Fulmigati:
I don't see IPOB killing, raping and kidnapping, women and children. That is a good way to lose the support of the people. The anger and wrath should be directed at strictly Nigerian Army . So the narrative can be we took up arms against an oppressive force.

Dude go and read Boko Haram history.

In the beginning process of both them and IPOB are similar.

During the beginning process of BH radicalized, whenever the military attacked them or provoked them, the people that took their reprisal was civilians, not the military.

Is that not the case of what happened with IPOB yesterday?

Who did ipob attack yesterday as reprisal? Military or Hausa civilians?

Soon enough it will escalate to them attacking both the civilians and the military. The history is already repeating itself in our face as we speak.

I honestly don't see IPOB raping and kidnapping people that's for sure but the killing...there's so much a person can take and your own insurgency history proves it.

Ngozi123:
Unfortunately, I see this being the case as well. The only difference being that everyone will see that it was the Nigerian army that pushed them to this .

Right!!

Like several are shouting about the Hausa they attacked in oyigbo and aba. Question they all seem to forget to ask is, before the military came and heated up the area, where the Hausa community in oyigbo and aba ever attacked before?

Was this not how BH started. When the military attacked them in the beginning, did they or did they not go after the civilians instead of the military?
Wasn't that the pattern until they became bold enough and started going after both the military and civilians.

Something sounds similar in the beginning process. Let them continue

LordsApostle:
you don't understand do you? You blacks are all savages...
The only difference between those boiz and the military men are the guns they are holding, if they start insurgency those military men cannot stand them.. We should be sensible enough. The same way Boko Haram started small, these military men formed Boss and massacred them, when they came reinforced, they (military) started running and removing their uniforms, and claiming they didn't have weapons to fight.
Things are not done this way, don't give people reasons to take up arms, else everyone suffers..

That's the reason I don't even call boko haram terrorist anymore or even blame them for their act.

The niggerian pushed them to that act.
History shows that boko haram was once a peaceful group.

I slowly see that history repeating itself.

They did it to ND Militant
They did it to Boko Haram and now in process to do it to IPOB

I ask the first two they did it to, have they stopped them yet?
