Just listen to yourselves fools.....

Nigeria Army ll soon show you what war is all about.....

You and your kinsmen will wallow in agony and pain after Nigeria Army must have dealt with you and your fellow idiots.

If Nigeria can stand and deal with Jihadists called Boko Haram mercilessly despite their die hard doctrine, Ipobs and militants(Their communities) ll be dealt with like ragtags they are.

Bring it on.... Odi ll be a child play compare to what is about to befall you and your communities.

I think you forget that the Nigerian Army never wins any war without massive international support. The only reason that the Nigerian Army managed to get anywhere with Boko Haram was because Chad, Niger Republic and Cameroon joined the fight. It is much better for Buhari to call the Niger Delta militants to dialogue than try to fight them because such a fight is not winnable. The militants don't even have to fight. All the have to do is to keep sabotaging oil intallations on their lands to cripple the oil industry. So anyone advocating fighting them should perish the idea and encourage Buhari to call them to a round table meeting.

The man is talking with the mentality of someone who lives on planet Mars. Self determination recognised by the UN and most civilised countries now amounts to terrorism to him? Dullard!

APC winning anything in Anambra hoping for Snow to fall in Sokoto

Based on the 8 months of Buhari so far, I would say that his administration is a monumental disaster.

rhymaster:
This same stupidity resulted in the killing of 700 Ibos in Asaba, Ibos are crying massacre till tomorrow. Hope when the Nigerian forces unleash force on the dull-heads daring a bullet they will not cry that no one cried for them. If you can willingly step in front of a moving train, then Nigeria can watch you all ground to paste! I will have no feelings for such foolishness!

Typical Nigerian. That's how your Nigerian Army went and slaughtered 1000 Shiites so that Chief of Army staff can make an appointment with an Emire on time and you people were hailing that act of genocide like a bunch of morrons. Instead of questioning why your armed forces are conducting themselves in such an unprofessional way unbecoming of disciplined military men, you people are playing the blame game. Here is video evidence of Soldiers not being attacked in anyway but are raining bullets on the very people they are paid to protect, tomorrow you people are the giant of Africa. Giant of what? Highly despicable

RickyTan:
Okay please tell me where Metuh EARNED the 400 million from in one day? Was it his salary?
Magically money showed up in his personal account

That is the question you should allow the man to answer in court before you call for his conviction. You have to allow a person to die before you decide they should be buried

TonyeBarcanista:
All your own na 'claim claim claim'. Nobody claim anything, you are just being ignorant,mischievous or both. As for Ndoki

I don't have time to speak turanchi. As for Igbos in Rivers, I'm not aware of any and I wouldn't be drawn into that.

So your postulation that Ndokis are Igbos is based on the fact that a long time ago, some Ijaws headed that way? Laughable. Even the surname of the Ndoki guys report is 'nwa-Igwe' I could tell you what that name means in Igbo, can you tell me what it means in Ijaw? BTW, why did your Ijaw brethren who left the coastal areas to head inland drop their Ijaw names to adopt Igbo surnames? As for this claim that you don't know that there are indigenous Igbo people in Rivers state, I can only say that contrary to what you may have been led believe, Rivers state does not start and end in Okrika.

RickyTan:
Metuh? Metuh is a thief (at least that is what he is charged with - looting.) He brought shame to Igbos and you are here talking about more support for a thief?

How can you call a person a thief when he has not been convicted of such? Where you there when he recieved the money? So when any allegation is raised against a person, you APC people assume it is true without allowing the accused to tell his own side of the story in court? You APC people are even worst than PDP. Even PDP supporters were not this narrow minded

NgeneUkwenu:
Good!!! That means next time he appears in court, it must be in Chains and Handcuff...

Good Riddance...

That isn't going to dampen the spirits of his supporters one bit, if anything it will make them more determined than ever. This has gone beyond bringing someone to court in handcuffs. They tried that with Mr Metuh, it backfired and gave Metuh even more support from his kith and kin than he had before.

Txonyi:
i have read with amusement the comments of people on the thread that gave an update on nnamdi kanu's case saying that the court THREW OUT THE SIX CASES OF TREASON BROUGHT AGAINST HIM BY THE DSS
and granted the LEGAL TEAM OF NNAMDI KANU their request of remanding him in prison against the FG COUNCIL TO KEEP HIM IN DSS CUSTODY
now my reason of opening this thread is to ask all of you who commented negatively on the other thread these
1. didnt you guys notice that the court for a record 3rd time didnt buy the TREASON TRASH?
2. didnt you guys notice that the court again REFUSED TO LISTEN TO DSS bu instead granted NNAMDI KANU'S COUNCIL their request?
3. dint you guys notice that nnamdi kanu is the winner here?
i see a pattern emerging here the JUDICIARY is not happy with buhari and they are showing it. i see buhari doing something silly as regards to nnamdi kanu. i see buhari ending nigeria
i dont know o, but i have said my own.
for you APC fan boys commenting and insulting nnamdi kanu, please read that post again and answer the three questions i asked here.
thanks

APC supporters and their 'saviour' Buhari have something in common, they don't know anything about the law or the rule of law. APC supporters read that Kanu is heading for Kuje prison and were rejoicing that Kanu is going to suffer but they didn't know that the ruling was in Kanu's favour. Kanu can now recieve visitors, have access to his legal team and communicate with outside world which was impossible when he was kept incommunicado by the DSS.


I'm not sure if the court actually struck out the 6 charges against him. That part is still a bit confusing

bakynes:
Be reasonable here, freedom of speech is still restricted. So if I say I will bomb the US and kill everybody in the state of California on radio or TV. You don't think the next minute I will be talking to the FBI. When you threaten the state that's not freedom of speech anymore. If he had called Nigeria a zoo or Buhari a terrorist that can still be pardonable but when you threaten to take a section of a sovereign nation away to from another country and threaten its citizens by saying you will procure arms to fight her then my brother that is an issue of urgent National security.

If you say you are going to bomb California and kill people, you may picked up. But as soon as as the authorities find out that it's just mere talking, you will be let go in a few hours since you can't be charged for 'talking'. Nobody can be charged to court in a democratic country for talking or making a threat by talking. So it doesn't matter what Kanu called Nigeria or Buhari or the fact he solicited for guns, it is still 'talking'. It isn't until he acts that you can charge him. That's why the case around Kanu is baseless. Nobody can be charged in Nigeria for making verbal threats, wether it be against people or against the nation, it is not in the constitution

bakynes:
You call that free speech, Go to America or the UK and threaten their prime Minister or threaten to bring in guns to fight them and see if it's free speech. Ordinary Racist comments on social platforms they pick you up. You think it's coz our government here gives us free hand to say anything we like, you think that's how it is done everywhere all in the name of free speech.

You don't know what is happening in the world. Do you know how many far right organisations in Ameica are calling for Obamas head the destruction of the USA? Do you know how many anti-Monachist are calling for the head of the queen in Britain? I even once saw on CNN people in a park close to Buckingham palace openly call for the queens death in front of the British Police . During the war in Iraq, British Muslims regularly held protest marches in London calling for the bombing of Britain, the introduction of sharia law and terrorism in Britain because of Britains involvement in the war. All of these things are on YouTube and online. Nobody was arrested because by law, they are entitled to say those things. As for racism, in the Nigerian context, I don't think we have any laws as regards that since Nigeria is almost 100% black.

Nnandi Kanu is allowed under his right of free speech to say anything he likes. A person cannot be convicted in any democratic country for what they say with their mouth, they can only be convicted by their actions.

Nnamdi Kanu actually wanted to go to leave DSS custody for prison. This is actually good news, now he can recieve his legal team and visitors as well and prepare for his case. Kanu has won again!

bakynes:
So you don't know what a treasonable charge is?
1.you operate a pirate radio station
2. You told your listeners to contribute money to procure arms against the zoo.
3. You called the President of the zoo a terrorist
4. You said the zoo will fall before the end of 2015

Should I go on.

And they all fall within his constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech

NgeneUkwenu:
A lot of noise have been made by the PDP and other "patriotic" Nigerians about President Buhari not respecting the "Rule of Law in the fight against Corruption, "disobedience of Court orders and other manufactured lies they dish out daily to protect the looters.

However after some retrospection by yours sincerely, I have now come to support this side of the argument by the PDP, that indeed President Buhari should tone down and see the benefit and results of fighting Corruption, the PDP way;

1. Abdur Rasheed Maina, the maelstrom that sucked up N195 billion pension fund, has escaped out of the country to enjoy his loot in a small exotic Island because the rule of law provided a cover for him to go for medical treatment from which he never returned for trial.

2. Farouk Lawan demanded a $3 million bribe. The rule of law was invoked to permit his fundamental human rights. He got away with it. Today, the trial is dead.

3. Mohammed Abacha has a case of N446 billion hanging on his neck. The rule of law guaranteed that he walks free and enjoys his loot to the fullest. Nothing has been heard of the matter till today.

4. $6 billion fuel subsidy scandal has been swept under the carpet and all the criminals that shared this loot are walking free because the rule of law says so.

5. Peter Odili plundered the Rivers state treasury to the tune of about $500 million. The rule of law protected and gave him an everlasting immunity from prosecution so that the man can be left in peace to enjoy his loot.

6. Dan Etete and his gang of seven or more thieves shared $1.1 billion in the celebrated Malabu oil scandal. The rule of law ensured that they walked free and have all relocated out of Nigeria.

7. Abubakar Kigo and his gang of five stole almost N33 billion police pension fund. The rule of law gave them a feeble slap on the wrist with 2 years jail term and N750,000 fine.

8. Steve Oronsaye, the former Head of Service of the Federation was found culpable in mismanaging and diverting N123 billion and the rule of law has made sure that the matter never saw the light of the day again.

9. Sambo Dasuki, after mismanaging, looting, diverting and sharing $2.1 billion arms purchase money to his friend and cronies is asking to be let out to travel abroad for medical treatment because the rule of law guarantees him that privilege. A trip if he be allowed to make will ensure he never returns to the country to face trial.

10.The PDP and lovers of corruption are asking and demanding for the release of Olisa Metuh from EFCC detention because the rule of law guarantees him freedom for corruptly enriching himself. Olisa Metuh, a man who collected over N400 million of arms purchase money for his personal enjoyment to the detriment of our soldiers and innocent Nigerians who are killed daily by Boko Haram.

These criminals still enjoy their loot while many workers fo unpaid.

Whose interest does the RULE OF LAW serve?

The rule of law is: Innocent until proven guilty in a competent court of law

You don't like it, tough luck! Nobody gets to pick and choose what part of the constitution they observe or don't observe

TonyeBarcanista:
Another IPOBian on the loose.

He was born in "Kiribo"....%100% Ijaw land
His tribe is Ijaw-Apoi..... 100% Ijaw


FYI: Ijaw is an ethnic group with different clans having distinctive but sometimes hey speak Yoruba, that doesn't make him Yoruba. Camerounians speak French, Tunisians speak French, Qest neighbour(s).

The Ndokis speak Igbotic language
The Andonis/Ibollos speak a language relating to Ibibio
Edewin Clark's clan speak a language that relates with Urhobo etc...


What is the business of the Ibo op?

Ijaw nation have no central language. But we are bound by our Izon ancestry.

Don't you ever quit? How many Ndoki people have told that they are not Ijaws but Igbos? They even told you that their ancestral name is 'Ndi Oki' or 'Oki people' in Igbo before you guys came and 'Ijawnised' their name to Ndoki. I'm quite surprised that you have not tried to claim Ikwere and Ogonis as Ijaw. You claimed Opobo founded by an Igbo man, you claimed Andonis, you tried to claim Obigbo/Oyigbos they chased you away. You also came after Porthacourt even though you know that the original site of the city was called 'Iguocha' (or Igweocha to some Igbos) I'm starting to think that Ijaw people don't know who they are. Someone told me that any group of people who settled by the coast call themselves Ijaw. Well, in the words of Asari Dokubo:

There are only three tribes in Rivers state, Ijaw,Ogoni and Igbo

Treason, managing unlawful soceity, announcing secession are all charges that someone like Uwazuruike has faced many times. Guess what? They all came to nothing and Uwazuruike is a freeman walking around. He even started another 'unlawful group' recently lol. The charges are baseless and are already crippled by Kanu's freedom of speech and freedom of association.

Eddygourdo:
I find it absolutely shameful that people are so partisan to their DNA. They could sell their mothers just to stand right with their idiosyncrasies. This country is greater than any party, the development of the country should surpass any desire by each party faithful to be supreme.

Any right thinking patriotic Nigerian knows corruption is a major issue hampering our development. Even with a clueless government Nigerian will still perform averagely if corruption was stamped out. This should be the main worry of a Nigerian. Thank God we now have a government which is hell bent on chasing, humiliating corrupt elements. Yet people are grumbling. Accusing the President of selective vendetta as though common sense has become extinct.

Please I apc should double more efforts to chase down every pdp member from past governments and collect our yams, such retrieved yams should make up 40% of out missing yams.

Please in 2019, other opposition parties should rise and challenge at national level because the Nigerian electorate has a more genuine love to opposition than the incumbent.

Please whichever opposition than wins in 2019 should chase and harass all apc member from past government to collect our stolen yams, such retrieved yams in combination of that gotten from the pdp should amount to 80% of our missing yams.

Enough of this accusation that the corruption fight should be a cross board, nobody fights his family members, that job should be left for perceived enemies which in this case is the opposition in Nigerian political sphere.

Why are we the populace who didn't gain a kobo from their kleptomania complain of selective blah blah blah, we keep talking of rule of law yet we forget our judicial system is poo (this doesn't imply we forgo the law). Apc is simply sowing a seed they will reap it's fruit in kind one day. Rather as good Nigerian we should support them because we see the big picture and not their crude methods.

Nigeria must rise, corruption must be killed, I advocate the death penalty, I advocate death by stoning, I advocate any measure that can curb out corruption wherever it may exist. Today it's the turn of the pdp, let them burn, let them produce our yams, it shall be in similar vein that the apc shall burn one day and produce our yams. I shall support all such efforts till the tyranny of corruption and lawlessness is wiped out of my country.

We have no other country, imagine if there was a refugee situation in Nigeria, with our current global image as theives, rapists and law breakers. Who will accept us or give us laxity. Just as is being offered to terrorism inclined arabs.

Nigeria must better, no matter whose ox is gored.

This mindset of yours is the reason why Nigeria and indeed black Africa is not moving forward. If Nigeria wants to be great, it pays to be pragmatic. Nigeria should look at what other great countries did and are still doing to be great. For one thing, Nigeria is running the wrong system of Government that is stifling the people. We claim to be a country but we are not. While corruption is a major issue for Nigeria and should be stamped out, it is not Buharis job to fight corruption. It is Buharis job to strengthen the institutions that ensure accountability. If a person has looted the funds, let the person be charged to court and Buhari should keep his nose out of the judicial system. I actually expected Buhari to set up anti-corruption courts by now and introduce new laws to strengthen EFCC and ICPC. Instead, what we have seen is the hounding of mostly people who have an axe to grind with the president and a president who came on national tv to tell the world he has no regard for the rule of law. We do not have a people's oriented constitution, we do not operate the right system of Goverment, we do not have checks and balances,we don't have national cohesion, we don't even have a comprehensive economic policy. What we have is a highly divisive president who has shown that he doesn't know what he is doing. If we want a better Nigeria, we must return to the regional system of government let the people manage their affairs. It is not for Buhari to manage my affairs for me, his role should be purely supervisory. As long as Nigeria keeps operating this unitary for of Government that makes Buhari and Abuja all powerful, Nigeria is headed nowhere no matter how many people Buhari locks up.

lofty900:
but they are going about it the wrong way. Causing havoc, looting shops, throwing stones, endangering innocent people. They are going about it all wrong

Nobody is looting any shop or throwing stones. The times the protest turned violent is when the Nigerian security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters. This I witnessed with my own eyes.

As an Abambra man, I can't say that Obiano has not done well for Anambra. The only thing I hate about him is how he handled the IPOB protesters who were shot by the Nigerian Army and Police. Even if he didn't want to condenm that dastardly act, he should have reached out to the families of the bereaved and those in hospitals

lofty900:
name them

The vast majority of the Igbos, the common man on the street. They are what counts not a few people in power who are saying no because they enjoying their position

ibotic:
I am from Nnewi and today our region director asked us to come to Aba for demonstration.
I was surprised that not many of our people were there.
Our oga did not show up but he left us alone to face soldiers.
what kind of leadership is this
Is his life better than mine?
I have suffered for Biafra but now I know I don't want to die.
Most of our members are dirty sad people.
My fight for Biafra is because I will have opportunity to print and sell but our director gave the contract to another person.
His wifes family got the contract and they made millions.
I am ashamed of my people.
It is true what yolubas say that our falt.heads is disturbing us.
Look at Kanu our leader arrested with prostitute in a fine hotel
meanwhile we are here dodging bullets?
Chukwu abiama o....

Yoruba woman who can't even write in Igbo well

lofty900:
Enugu government say no, rivers government say no, imo government say no, Niger delta people say no. Are these biafra people so daft that they can't see that they are fighting a lost cause?

What about those who say yes?

Unlawful assembly? No such crime exists! They are constitually guaranteed to freedom of movement so which one is unlawful assembly? The Police have lost their minds!

godson36:
Am always proud of this man.. He is a true example of Leaders that Nigeria need...

Nigerians need to be taken with iron hand.

All the other leaders that led Nigeria with an iron hand, were did it get Nigeria?

Like Obama said

Africa does not need strong leaders, Africa needs strong institutions

APC wants Igbos to join them in "trial by media"

They want Igbos to join them in "Guilty before proven guilty"

We Igbos will not join that mob mentality, we Igbos shall stand by "Innocent until proven guilty"

APC can charge who ever they want to court but if they are expecting Igbos to join them in the flouting of court judgements, desecration of the constitution and supporting Buharis tyrannical tendencies then count Igbos out!

raumdeuter:
When you kill other peoples leaders, you dont tell them how to respond. They can choose to kill 2, 2million or 20million. When Osama killed Americans, Did Afghans tell America the number of people to kill in return?

Only one person ArchDuke Ferdinand was killed in Sarajevo and millions were killed in return during the 1st world war

So what is the point of one Nigeria then since it leads to millions of deaths?

SupremeCommanda:
Disclaimer:

This isn't intended as a bash thread whatsoever. For research purposes, I seek to find out why the IPOBians are so hateful and wish I'll on everyone else.


The Igbo people are enterprising, hardworking and unrelenting... as in, real sharp guys! A trait which has led them to spread across Nigeria and even beyond her shores.

For every enterprising Igbo man/woman, Nigeria has provided a market, and a platform to succeed. There's no nook or cranny in Nigeria that you'll go to and not find an Igbo person doing business or other ventures. For every good produced, there are over 170m people to market it to.

Non Igbo States Have Helped More in the Development of Igbo Talents Than Have Igbo States. The best and most successful Igbo people were born and raised outside of Igbo land. The environment you grow in goes a long way in influencing what you may become 90% of the time. Nigeria has been accommodating and has horned the skills of many Igbo athletes, sharpened academicians, and has given them the room to blossom!
You may argue that they made it simply because they are Igbo blooded, but I ask, why aren't the Azikiwes, the Ojukwus, Mikels, the NOI, P squares, to list but a few coming out straight from Anambra in droves? Or aren't they Igbo blooded as well? Truth is, Lagos in particular has done more for the Igbos than has all SE states put together.

Thousands of Igbos slaughtered in 1945

Thousands more slaughtered in 1953

Over 50,000 slaughtered in 1966 alone

Over 3 million killed 1967 to 1970


Man you are right, Nigeria has given the Igbos a lot indeed!

T8ksy:
Abeg, sharap jo!!!

We all had a chance to live separately before independence at The Lancaster House Conferences in London 1957 and 1958 but greedy ibos who were lustfully dreaming of dominating One Nigeria insisted that we should all live as one, impishingly chanting "Zik of Africa", mr. (fake) Mr. nationalist.

I don't blame Zik for believing in one big Nigeria. Until something is given a try, there will be no certainty if it will work or not. Nigeria has a 55 year try and I'm sure nobody needs a soothsayer to know if it worked or not. Zik, who was born in the north probably had a certain kinship with the northerners, maybe even more than he had with his fellow Igbos. At the end of the day, an enforced unity is no unity at all.

Brijet:
Op, u mean to say the yorubas are fighting with the igbos in Uk. Cos they want the igbos to live Nigeria with immediate effect. First and foremost, I don't like the fact that you guys are watching your dirty lingerie outside the shores of Nigeria, and secondly WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS TWO TRIBES?
What happened to the part where we can all live as ONE.
Why can't you all behave like the warrifians, who consider themselves as one despite the fact that there are comprises of so many ethnic group.

Living as 'one' is not something that should not be 'enforced', it is something that should be by free choice. Even a man gets down on one knee to ask a woman to be 'one' with him. The Igbo/Yoruba/ Hausa man lived thousands of years in west Africa without being 'one' and they didn't kill each other. Because Lugard came 100 years ago to tell these people that they are 'one', all three have been fighting and killing each other in the millions since then. That should tell anyone who has a brain something important


It should be noted that this brawl stated by the OP happend in 1968.

bashnorth:
This is d hard truth and we'll written piece of article. I dnt like it when northeners are always painted as blood sucking jihadist. May God help us.

So what will you paint them as when they slaughtered over 50,000 easterners, men,women and children in 1966 alone?

Men were beheaded, pregnant women bellies ripped open and foetus executed, children drowned in wells and young Igbo girl raped and killed.

On top of all that, most Nigerians expected Ojukwu to be dancing to music of 'one Nigeria' while his people were being butchered.

To cap it all off,the entire justification for killing 50,000 people what that the leader of the coup was an Igbo man and it was an Igbo coup. The 50,000 people they killed didn't even know who Nzeogwu was.
