No one uses witchcraft powers for good! A witch, no matter d race (black or white) he or she belongs, is an agent of d kingdom of darkness nd brings no benefit to d society. Don't b deceivd by ignorant superstitious belief common among black Africans which tends to attribute d differnt inventns or technologies we enjoy today to whitemen's witchcraft powers. Dat is a terrible lie nd very far frm d truth! It is such a radiculous superstitious belief dat hav kept negroes backward in technology as they hav resigned themselvs to fate, not makin efforts at all to compete wit d whites. Black Africans 4got dat GOD ALMIGHTY gave humans great power of creativity, ingenuity nd knwledge which blacks hav not used or explored to d fullest unlike d whites. |
basilo101:Which land they shuld vacate? Dia own ancestral land? Was it not u Igbos dat migrated into dia (Ikwerre) lands in droves few centuries ago due to populatn pressure in Igbo mainland, nd consequently altered dia original language in d course of history d same way as happened in Ikaland nd Ndokwaland? |
ty4real4gt:Don't deceiv d public! Christians ar d majority in Burkina-Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Benin, Cameroun, Surinam, Guyana, Sierra-Leone nd Uganda. So they ar neva Islamic countries as bin portrayd by u. Even Nigeria is not an Islamic country. |
GogetterMD:Point of correction! Muslims ar not mor than 40% of Nigeria's populatn. Forget those false past propaganda aimed at projectin Islam as largest religion Northern Islamic leaders. I hav bin to different parts of d country: north, south, east nd west, so I knw what I'm sayin nd u can't deceiv someone like me. Christianity remains d largest religion in Nigeria. |
GudluckIBB:D equator is an imaginary line which divides d earth into two equal halves namely; (1) Northern Hemisphere nd (2) Southern Hemiphere. Dat spot they stood on symbolises where d earth is divided into two equal halves of North nd South Hemipheres. Dat means when u cross dat spot u hav practicaly movd frm one hemisphere to anoda. D equatorial line runs across many countries frm Africa to Asia nd South America. Infact, d Republic of Equatorial Guinea here in Africa was named after d equator dat passes thru it. |
hedonistic:Stop fooling urself mr Igboman! D man (Tompolo) u ar braggin about knows dat he has no such capability to fight d present FG. It's obvious u ar not frm d Niger-Delta like us, as such u ar not even current wit devpts in d region. Camp5 had long bin destroyd by d JTF around May-July 2009 even bfor d grantin of amnesty to repentant militants by Yar' Adua's administratn. |
hedonistic:Do u hav problm wit understndin? Where in my write-up did I mentiond dat it happend durin Obasanjo's regime? Was it under Obasanjo dat Brgdier-Gen Sarki Bello whom I said dismantled Camp5 servd as JTF Commander? Go read my post properly bfor comin here to misquote me. It was durin Yar' Adua's regime dat Gen Sarki Bello was JTF Commander in d N-Delta. I made it clear in my post dat Tompolo only came out of hidin to receiv pardon wen Yar' Adua grantd amnesty to repentant Niger-Delta militants. For avoidnce of doubt, Camp5 nd other camps belongin to Tompolo were taken-over nd destroyd by JTF followin d unprovokd ambushin nd killin of som military personnel includin a colonel by Tompolo's boys. It happend around June/July 2009, nd was all over d news then. |
April4th:Which "camp 5" ar u talkin about? Was it not d same "Camp5" JTF destroyd nd razed down in just one military offensive carried out by d military in Gbaramatu Kingdom, durin which Tompolo fled into hidin nd was subsequently declared wanted by Brgdier-Gen. Sarkin Bello, d then JTF Commander in d Niger-Delta? I'm frm Delta State, nd was aware of wat happend then. All of Tompolo's camps were over-ran nd destroyd by d JTF as his boys fled leavin behind large cache of arms nd amunitions. Okerenkoko nd Oporaza communities were almost completly burnt down includin d palace of d traditnal ruler(Pere) of Gbaramatu Kingdm. It was d amnesty declared by Yar' Adua dat brougt Tompolo out of hidin. So stop over-ratin Tompolo nd his gang. I hav bin to Okerenkoko nd Oporoza bfor. There was even som disputes btw him nd som of his kinmen over acquisatn of dat swampland. |
kendrick9:If u Igbo pipo hav a secret plan to annex other tribes lands against dia wishes, then ur Igbo Biafra actualizatn wil continu to remain "a mirage"/" a mere pipe-dream" just d way it was in d 1960s, because we non-Igbo Niger-Deltans wil resist such invasion or act of aggression. If u pipo ever try dat, we wil fight nd chase u Igbo rebels out of our lands even befor arrival of Federal Troops just as our pipo did durin d 1967-1970 civil war, when Igbo military occupational forces were pursued nd routed out frm Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, Benin nd indeed d whole of d Niger-Delta region. |
sunnyb0b0:U ar talkin out of ignornce, maybe based on exaggeratd rumours u heard about exploits of d ex-militants. If u hav eva bin to d creeks or hav ever stayd there bfor, u won't wish for return of militancy to d Niger-Delta. Those who sufferd most durin d heat of d militancy were stil d ordinary Ijaw men nd women who eck out a livin in d swamps. They sufferd frm both d JTF nd d militants activities just as d pipo of d North-East hav sufferd under BH crises. D creeks were heavily pollutd frm effects of vandalizd oil pipelines renderin Ijaw fisherman jobles nd hungry. JTF mountd restrictn of movt in d waterways makin it difficult to supply foodstuffs to d riverine villages. Many Ijaws turnd refugees nd villages were razed down. No sensible Ijaw wnt a repeat of dat. |
cokoduck:I'm Urhobo we non-Igbos thru our various socio-cultural organisatns hav since disowned ur Igbo Biafra. We ar not part of u. So don't just repeat d mistake of invadin our lands as ur forefathers did durin d 1960s civil war which they paid dearly for. . I stand for peace nd love. |
Know2020:Stop mentionin SS because we hav repeatedly disassociatd ourselvs frm ur Igbo Biafra. I'm surprised why u Igbo pipo keep decievin urselvs nd spreadin false propaganda dat we Niger-Deltans ar part of ur Biafra. Next time wen talkin of SS wit regards to ur Biafra, just restrict ur mention to "only d Igboid part of d Niger-Delta" because "we non-Igbos ar not interestd in ur Igbo Biafra". No matta how u pretnd about it or try to deceiv others, Biafra is "an exclusive Igbo affair" nd not for us. |
ihearYou:Don't mind him, he is just a noise-makin kid typin frm d comfort of his parents home wit no capacity to "raise dust". It's dia nature (Igbos) tryin unsuccessfuly to drag us (Niger-Deltans) into joinin them in dia sentimental hatred for PMB. But we Niger-Deltans ar wiser than dat. Was he not d same person or someone else who threatend to unleash "fire nd brimstone" if APC wins Kogi State guber electn? Yet APC won d electn nd no public peace was disturbd. |
manup:I'm frm Ethiope East LGA of Delta State. Can u tell me where u ar frm? In Delta State pipo ar tired of PDP because of dia misrule nd corruptn. All PDP did to remain in power in Delta State over d years is riggin. PDP don't believ in free nd fair elections, because they knw dat witout riggin they won't probably win. If u can conduct a research poll on randomly selected Deltans to seek dia opinion on PDP, u may b surprisd how they hate dat party. Go to Warri, d town remains largely under-devlopd despite d billions of Naira comin to d state as monthly federal allocations in additn to IGR. |
Lusola15:I think d operatives of d NA, NN, NAF, NPF, NSCDC, NPS, nd even Immigratn service, ar calld "public servants" nd not "civil servants". Military nd paramilitary organisatns ar not normally counted as part of d "Civil Service Commission". I think d Nigeria Police Force alone has over 100,000 personnel. |
chukwudi44:Frm d way u talk I knw u ar not frm Delta State. U ar just talkin based on rumours. I'm frm Delta State, nd u ar just over-exaggeratin d strength or capacity of Tompolo. |
menix:Tompolo has tasted wealth nd comfort. He moves about wit escorts provided by Nigerian security, nd u don't espect such a person to d creeks nd suffer again. Tompolo has his investments to protect nd maintain. I'm frm Delta State, nd I knw his beautiful villa where he stays in Bendel Estate, Ugborikoko Uvwie LGA, near Warri. Of course u don't espect such a man used to enjoyment to leave d comfort of his mansions nd relocate to d creeks where he may face daily threats frm security forces, mosquito bites, wild animals, hunger, fear nd other discomforts. |
menix:This is how u pipo over-glorified all these ex-militant warlords nd exaggerate dia strength, because u don't live in d Niger-Delta like us. What do u mean by when Tompolo starts? Start what? We dat ar in d Niger-Delta knw dat d capacity nd platform needed by these greedy ex-militants to fight d FG again is no longer there. D regime of GEJ had exposed to us dat many of d ex-militant leaders were only afta dia personal gains, nd ar not fightin for d general benefit of d Niger-Delta pipo. As such many of d youths today ar wiser, nd ar not ready to b used as willin tools by these greedy so-calld freedm fighters. Do u even knw dat many youths of Gbaramatu Kingdom ar not so happy wit Tompolo d way he cornerd gains meant for dia community to himself nd cronies, accusin him of bin greedy afta usin them to gain popularity? |
zinachidi:Guy, d military is not as befor again. Just com to Delta State nd see how soldiers ar bin used as mere gatemen nd errand boys by not only d politicians but anybody rich enorf to pay for dia services. We hav seen soldiers bin sent to take children of d rich to schools, nd runnin errands for d wealthy elites of d society. Dis is a common sight in Warri. Do u knw dat Tompolo nd other ex-militants move around wit military escorts nd dia compounds gates mounted by soldiers durin d tenure of GEJ? |
I enjoyd his unique style of reading news in NTA then. May GOD bless him abundantly. I also wish him good health, long life nd prosperity in JESUS NAME. AMEN. |
warrior01:All these black South African women ar very funny somtimes. Them go tie wrappers dey wear canvas. Which kain African dressin b dat? |
santosesq1:Who fed u dat lie? Can u tell me d title of d king of d Igala pipo/tribe of Kogi State? Is it not "Attah Igala"? Was he titled "Attah of Idah" Town where he rules frm? What of d "Tor Tiv" who is king of d Tiv pipo wit palace in Gboko Benue State, d "Ochi Idoma" king of d Idoma pipo wit palace in Oturkpo Benue State, d "Etsu Nupe" king of d Nupe pipo of Niger State, or d "Ashante-hene" king of d Ashante pipo wit palace in Kumasi City, Republic of Ghana. D question is why those kings I mentiond not titled after d respectiv towns they rule frm? And why were they rather titled after d respectiv pipo/tribes they rule? Frm d exmples I gave it's very obvious dat kings can either b titled after d towns they rule frm or after d pipo they/tribe rule. Even look at d "Queen of England", she lives in or rule frm Burkingham Palace in London, yet she is not addressd as "Queen of London". |
Temix:If monarchs are not named after tribes, what then do u hav to say about d Attah Igala who is d paramount ruler of d Igala pipo/ethnic group based in Idah Town, Kogi State? Other examples of kings named after dia tribes nd not after names of towns include: d "Etsu Nupe" of Nupe tribe in Niger State, d "Tor Tiv" of Tiv tribe in Benue State, d "Ochi Idoma" of Idoma tribe also in Benue State nd d "Ashantehene" of d Ashanti tribe in d Republic of Ghana. |
Mister2:It seems dat ethnic sentiment has beclouded ur sense of reasonin. There was nothing like Olu of Warri until d 1950s when Awolowo fraudulently changed d title of ur monarch frm "Olu of Itsekiri" to "Olu of Warri", to punish Urhobo for supportin NCNC (Azikiwe) instead of his party AG. D Ovie of Agbarha-Warri Kingdom, Orosuen of Okere-Urhobo Kingdom nd d Pere of Ogbe-Ijaw Kingdom, were officially gazetted nd presented "Staffs of Office" by d then Military Administrator of Delta State, Col. David Dung in d 1990s. So why tryin to deceiv d readin public dat those kings were not officialy recognizd by d govt? |
D fact is dat, many of d establishments which make d name of Warri very popular in Nigeria ar actualy located outside Warri main City. They ar sited mainly in d Urhobo LGAs of Uvwie, Udu nd Okpe. E.g, Warri Refinery in Ekpan(Uvwie), Petroleum Training Institute in Effurun(Uvwie), Federal University of Petroleum Resources in Effurun(Uvwie), Nigerian Army Barracks in Effurun(Uvwie), Nigerian Airforce Barracks in Effurun(Uvwie), NNPC Housing Estate in Ekpan(Uvwie), PPMC Depot in Ekpan(Uvwie), Nigeria Gas Company (Uvwie/Warri South), Delta Shopping Mall/Shoprite in Effurun(Uvwie), Enerhen Junction (Uvwie), Osubi Airport (Okpe), Delta Steel Company in Aladja(Udu) Itakpe-Warri railway Terminus (Udu), etc. Also, many of d oil nd gas companies dat earned Warri d title of "Oil City" ar sited outside d city. |
BADNEAT:Dis ur comment shows dat u ar ignorant of effects or aftermaths of war? Don't u knw dat when war starts civilians in d theater of d fightin wil b displaced frm dia homes nd turned refugees? It doesn't mean IPOB wil intentionaly displaced dia own pipo just like it wasn't d intention of Ojukwu to make Igbos refugees durin d 1960s civil war. Refugee crisis is one of d consequnces of war. |
AfricanFinest:Can u just pls mention those Niger-Deltan states u assumed wil join ur Igbo Biafra? |
greatness22:Point of correctn! "Owo" ("Oghwo" is an Urhobo native soup nd didn't originate frm Itsekiri. If u ar in doubt of its origin, do a research on it or find out about it frm elderly pipo in Warri. "Owo" is abbreviatn of d full Urhobo term "Oghwo-evwri" (meanin "palm oil soup" . |
tunex23:Guy, d truth is dat MEND is an Ijaw militant organisatn. Or do u expect them(MEND) to invade d land of anoda ethnic group(Ukwuani pipo) nd liberate them? Where ar d able-bodied Ukwuani youths? Ar there no brave youngmen among them to defend dia communities against d Fulanis? Howeva, I pray for peace to reign. |
tunex23:Guy, d truth is dat MEND is an Ijaw militant organisatn. Or do u expect them(MEND) to invade d land of anoda ethnic group(Ukwuani pipo) nd liberate them? |
Jabioro:D indigenes appeard to b cowards. Ar they not even ashamed dat a few nomadic migrants hav d audacity to come frm far north down to d core south to drive them (indigenes) away frm dia own communities witout any resistance frm them(indigenes)? Wat sort of fear nd laziness is dat? Where ar dia young men? Ar they such cowards dat they can't stand to defend dia villages? Can any group of southerners dare enter Kano villages nd successfuly do d same thing to d Hausas witout d indigenes fightin back? D Ukwuani pipo shuld knw dat they can't always rely on govt to rescue them. They shuld b courageous to knw dat dis is dia fight nd if they fail to deal wit d Fulanis fiercely, d Fulanis may continu to harass them witout fear. For those who mentiond MEND, MEND is an Ijaw militant organizatn nd u shuldn't expect them to go Ukwuaniland to deliver d pipo. Of course, d Fulanis knw very well dat they can't try such rubbish in Ijawland. |
