Show us the full report. Who wrote this? Who edited it?
I know people who pronounce and write ‘house’ as ‘ouse’ or hat as at...The report says...The Union ‘as’ stated instead of ‘has’...what kind of mushroom newspaper and editor permitted that?

BeardedMeat:
Your opinion is inconsequential you know.

It is inconsequential. I am aware of that but IPOB need to tone down the anger or at least know where and how to channel that anger.

The ‘Eze onye agwanam’ kind of approach and attitude is causing more harm.
If you are Igbo and understand Igbo well, then you’ll know that is arrogance. You’d think you are marching forward but you are only sliding backwards, like a good swimmer who dived in to a tide. That’s foolishness.

PlayerMeji:
This calls for mutiny...

Whether he is historically correct or not, there is a message Reno is trying to pass across.

Igbo needs to unite politically!

Don't throw the bathwater away with the baby.

Yes, Igbos should unite. I was disappointed not seeing all the South East governors at the last south south governors meeting.

I had my doubts about his ethnicity when he was speaking Hausa. I never believed he was Hausa/Fulani.

He was very wrong to harass the players. That was very very wrong. IPOB are creating more enemies for the Igbos. This is not the way to go about it.

Two things made the Igbo more susceptible to slave-raiding than other ethnicities.
The first was the Osu caste system, which made many Igbos sell their own kith and kin to others.
The second thing is that the Igbos never united under one king, neither were they willing to submit themselves unquestionably to one person. That made it possible for other smaller ethnicities who had united under one king to raid Igbo villages.


Reno need to do his research properly. I think he was in haste to write and upload this.
Slavery was successful in Igbo land because the major players were Igbos themselves and it wasn’t due to disunity or the raiding of Igbo towns by smaller ethnicities.

There were people and families who were infamous for slavery in Igbo land. Those families are still there. It’s very much like the Evans of those days.
There were notable merchants from Awka, Amawbia, Agulu etc. These people raided villages or captured vulnerable individuals along (agu/ogboli/ozala) routes...then there are some very unpopular individuals from Arondizuogu who kidnapped and traded people around the Atlantic coasts.

Awka people sold slaves across the Niger . Slave merchants from Arondizuogu traded at the Atlantic coasts. Other ethnicities around the riverline areas assisted as middle men. The big players of the infamous business were actually Igbo merchants. I see them same way I see kidnappers of today. There is nothing to celebrate and brag about slavery.

I do not doubt that the bini moat was built by slaves, I don’t believe that the binis crossed the river to raid towns. They would’ve been captured and sold off themselves. They wouldn’t have survived the competition.
Apart from the known individuals who traded big, there were others Ogidi, Okija, Nri who captured and sold across the Niger or to the ‘big’ players from Awka and Amawbia.

I’m in interested in knowing which Igbo towns that were raided by other ethnicities. Across the Niger and the present day Onitsha was more of a fortress.

The merchants initially got their weapons (swords, machetes, spears) from black smiths at Awka. Some around the Igboukwu bought weapons from Isuofia...Umueze community of present day Isuofia bought weapons from Akulu village where every household had a blacksmith...

The merchants traded and brought Dane guns to facilitate their businesses. These daneguns were replicated by Awka and Isuofia blacksmiths who in turn sold these weapons to other ethnicities.

Fahdiga:
Why do FFK love Igbo women more than the women from his tribe? Is there something wrong with his people that we don't know

The same reason some short men marry big tall women.

Power.

Who is sani Friday Nnaji again...Igbo Muslim?

Show some respect.

He is....Alhaji Malam Sani Friday Nnaji the Diji 1 of Uzo Uwani, Okuo opunite 1 of Nigeria.

When Igbos wear agbada, they wear it with style. Can’t you see his babanriga is heavily starched.

Anyi ana achikwanu.

@Golden147,

I can understand your predicament but you lied. You might be 24 but definitely not in further education or in your final year. Nothing to be ashamed of bro. You sound like a nice person but you are either naive or your academic limitations are being exploited by some people.

I guess you are an only son. Your mum knows that you support this girl financially and she’s ok with it. If you are a student, what’s your means of sustaining your self and this girl?
One of your girl’s brothers owes you N250k!!
Be honest with yourself. You suffer inferiority complex because of your status. You are into business possibly buying and trading. Am I wrong? You seem to be a hardworking person, reserved, shy and worried.

Your woman’s brothers know what you do for a living and they see how you take care of their sister. They all want slices of the cake that you bake and distribute. You are their Obi Cubana lol.
They know you top up their suster’s phone credit all the time and I’m sure when this girl is home, everyone borrows her phone to make call knowing that she’s well insured by you.

As an only son which I think that you are, your mum is worried. She wants you to get married ASAP and she see your girl as a nice daughter in-law.

You need to man up and make decisions. I’d say...focus on your business. Apologies if I got it wrong.
Focus on whatever business that you are doing. Stop being a Santa Klaus to the brothers. Shine your eyes. The brothers need to pay wherever they are owing you. Don’t be afraid to speak to them. You owe them nothing.
If you are really 24 which I don’t believe that you are, you have years ahead of you to work on your business and on your self.


Btw...you said you were going for ‘Martial’...rite. That word is ‘marital rite’...you can’t be going to your in-laws for martial rite except your woman is a Fulani girl...in that case, be careful of the brothers...I heard that fulanis mercilessly flog the potential bridegroom.

Who made this man a chief? Deji Fasuan whoever he is needs psychiatric evaluation.

He is a pathological liar and should not be writing. He is not very good at it.

Nnamdi Kanu was never bothered about presidency and isn’t fighting because ‘our people’ are not in power.
Igboho started because of incessant Fulani killings in the south west.

Nnamdi Kanu did not jump bail or run away...why are people being dishonest?

NwaliE01:
Hmmm. Did you later die?

How do you expect him to remember that? It must’ve happened ages ago.

EMMY76:
Where is even the whereabout of that yoruba guy in London that always threatening to wipe out igbos and the fulanis in yorubaland on social media? This is the right time his services will be required in this yoruba nation agitation but he has gone silent like a coward.

Adeyinka Grandson

Madness get level. Since the start of Covid-19, he has gone quiet. Maybe he has started seeing a different psychiatrist. There’s a new kid on the block though and his name is Sunday Igboho.

Onepeople:
Ugo is his real name ,mother and father are igbo. Atoukumpo or whatever are Greek names.

Broda, take an easy.

Boudiccao:
What makes you think this little boy doesn't run around in school?
Some people are just predisposed to more flesh and will slim down as they grow up.
Stop body shaming a child.

He will slim down when he spends hours reading and then relaxing with the latest PlayStation or Xbox console.

Call it body shaming...it’s a new defensive term. We all will pay for this neglect when our ten year old kids wear size 38 waist trousers, 44 inches jackets with stretch marks all over their bodies.

MT:
This lawyer has destroyed any shred of invincibility igboho has left. The lawyer was trying to whip up emotions and sentiments and destroying his client in the process.

Igboho should better change lawyer and look for the one that will work on facts. Courts are not interested in all these gibberish.

I’m surprised that his lawyer would say that about him. Igboho shouldn’t have anything to do with such an individual.

donbachi:
Real men dont weep.

The lawyer shouldn’t be saying that. He is embarrassing Igboho and his supporters.

Igboho should look for another lawyer, how can this man be embarrassing igboho like that.

Imagine his lawyer saying that Igboho and his wife were crying while Igboho was crying like a baby. He shouldn’t be representing Mr Igboho.

lkillbrokehoes:
The only nuisance here is you, the man said my mind, he's so right.

He has mental issues. Of all the places to display his madness, it was inside a vehicle full of female footballers representing the country?
What was he expecting the players to do? Join in his protest, boycott their Austrian tournament and stop playing for Nigeria?

Silly man.

GuyWise101:
Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The man really made sense but as usual the foolish Nigerian youths sided with their oppressors simply because they boarded a plane.

He may likely be a Northern minority as to how he was so fluent with Hausa language.

He was also bold and threatened to call police on anyone who touched him

I love his guts

The man is a nuisance.

Akwamkpuruamu:
I am not against Yorubas defending their own but I am against Igbo leaders not standing for MNK

You and the Op are not being honest with yourselves.
Igboho has the support of lots of Yoruba elders. How many times have you heard him berating and disrespecting Yoruba elders?? Be sincere.

It’s hard to defend Nnamdi Kanu in my opinion. Nnamdi Kanu is mister know it all. He is more intelligent than everyone. He doesn’t listen to anyone, he calls people names all the time, abuses and never see anything good in the so called elders. His right hand man Emma Powerful does the same. If you disagree with him or his method, you’ll automatically become a Fulani slave or saboteur.

He sees himself as a demigod. His method clashes with that of those before him and with lots of Igbos. I give it to him, no one has his passion and energy but is this the man that will lead us?

Instead of criticising Igbo leaders, let’s ask him where IPOB and Biafra allies are. How can you be loggerhead with everyone? Ijaws, Tivs, etc. Where are the international allies?
What exactly do you expect Igbo leaders to do? Nnamdi Kanu is a ‘messenger of God’.

Wike is still standing, Buhari whom he called Jibril is standing strong. Remember IPOB advertising Buhari’s funeral years ago!

You don’t do that. Nnamdi Kanu don’t dislike Buhari the way many of us do...but how can someone like Nnamdi Kanu believe that Buhari has been cloned or impersonated?? Many of us feel embarrassed. I’m sure lots of people believe that Kanu is actually God’s messenger. They believe that in one or the other, Kanu will get Biafra on a platter. Biafra won’t come with falsehood or silly propaganda.

There are lots of people who are hurting seeing him locked away or picked up the way he was picked up.

People are being victimised or some have lost their lives because they were branded saboteurs but Abba Kyari walked into Anambra, frolicked with the high and mighty, smiled at camera and left Anambra majestically.

How do you start to defend Kanu? Every sec that Kanu spend incarcerated is an insult to Igbos but truth be told, Kanu need to chill , re-strategise, listen to advice and accept that this is not a one man show. He should also be aware that the stone he is carrying can break him to pieces. He needs help but too arrogant to listen....That’s if by some miracle, he frees himself from federal government claws.

NobleSeed:
me not understanding you ooh .
To the people way dey talk say make him asked God ,what exactly did you want God to do or say? That he should marry the one who made him rich and that will stress him to die before his time? OP wisdom is profitable to direct says the holy book.if at this juction you can decify what really you want ,then I'm signing out.

Your Desmond Elliot’s photoshop...

Did someone sit down to create this?

phemmyfour:
Body shaming this little boy?....You should be ashamed of yourself

Shame on you too. Are you one of those parents who focus on their kids reading lots of books while neglecting sports and physical activities? That’s child abuse and neglect.

Shame on you

myright:
What if the federal government of Nigeria gives this condition to the Israeli government? Just thinking aloud. What do you think would be the reaction of the Israeli government?

Nothing will happen. Nigeria is not Uganda. If Israel gets hyper, Buhari will speak to them in a language that they will understand.

Buhari will abduct Naftali Bennett, Netanyahu, David Barnea and Yossi Cohen.

Have you not heard of DSS or Abba Kyari??

Commentor:
I thought the hospital was like the one in Vegas.

It will be if you’ll pay for it. Do you know how much he charges for consultations or for a 30min pain treatment??

FreeBiafra2018:
Let me address your ignorance and idiocy economically. Are you directing your above Ignominy to the ordinary IPOB members or to the top command of IPOB? Do you seriously believe that Nnamdi Kanu is walking all alone that non of his aids will know that he's in a bad state after no communication for a whole 8 days? You must be a big full if you think so. Since the circulation of his arrest, are you not also disappointed that you have not seen the expected actions from IPOB? Is the silence of IPOB since his arrest not giving you concerns? The reason we're where we're today because we have always operated out of your line of thoughts, that's one of the things we mean when we tell you that we're several steps ahead of you. IPOB is the largest global mass movement and the most discipline organization, all our actions and activities are directed towards the benefits of our goal and not to satisfy your Ignominy and Naivety.

Emma powerful is a clown and shouldn’t be a spokesman for any organisation.

flokii:
Sanwo Olu should drop this guy ASAP.. let him go back to Anambra his home state where he is needed.

Igbokwe seems to be forgetting his place as an outsider in Yorubaland.. that you're Tinubu's boy doesn't mean you're at liberty to deride or mock any Yoruba son.

Joseph Igbokwe is not from Anambra. Joseph is your brother and he is from Lagos state.
Do you know the meaning of Joseph?

His brothers wanted to kill him...he disappeared for years and became Pharoahs trusted aide...

Josephat Igbokwe will be the next governor of Lagos state. Obas will bow and prostrate to him and he shall rule Odua for a loooooong time.

Nice one little Cubana but your old man should also invest in a home gym and encourage you to win more awards in sports.

Mr Cubana’s little man is developing more man boobs than his chief priest.

Obi making HEADLINE again.

Aganju849:
Don't be a fool, those two obviously share a history, they probably went to school together or something

Yes, they went to school together, they were born the same day, they lived in the same street at Onitsha, they are from the same town.

Yes they share history.

GodHatesBigots:
A lot of 419ers are into real estate. I am not saying he is 419 please.

Just saying.

Yes, you just did.

Millimann:
Having gone through this your post, I must confess you made very valid points.

But the fact that he attended an occasion with him last year and then this one shows that this is more than spying. I've not heard that he attended any other person's occasion. Besides, he doesn't need to attend occasions to spy on anyone.

I’m not a fan of the new money men and their show off especially the one they call E Money with his stunt out riders. I think he and his mates have no class. I think he is childish, crude, offensive and immature. I know nothing about Obi until last week...but I’ll say this. I really don’t believe that Abba Kyari is his friend.

A law enforcement agent like Kyari has a lot to lose mingling with people like Obi ‘as a friend’ if that’s what he was there for but he isn’t a friend....he was there on official assignment.
He follows Obi around especially during funerals showing fake empathy, wears same ‘akwa uju’ with Obi whole keeping tab on him. He presses his mumu button and can even let Obi in on his personal secrets cos deep inside him, he believes that Obi isn’t a genuine business man....

That’s how criminal empires are brought down...befriend the boss, go on a hit for him, protect his family...make him trust him implicitly then...he opens up.

In Obi’s case, Abba Kyari doesn’t believe that he is legit...but if Obi doesn’t cock up by meddling with stuffs he shouldn’t...He will be fine and Abba’s suspicions and long term goal will come to nothing. If Obi isn’t genuine like some people think...Abba will be crowned as the most successful, brave and intelligent police man in the country. Books will be written about him...He was at centre of Chikelue Iloanusi’s dad kidnapping investigation, He tracked Evans down, stories of him and ESN, his phone media is full of photos to prove it just in case someone doubts him as his mates were there taking photos and just as Nnamdi Kanu was languishing in DSS cell, he came to South East, attended Obi’s mum’s funeral....all these when IPOB and Emma Powerful are tagging some individuals ‘saboteur’....then he majestically leaves Anambra and back to base with his reports.

As long as Obi stays out of trouble and mind his hospitality and entertainment business, he will be ok....if greed takes him further, you’ll see the real Abba Kyari.

You’ll see more photos of Kyari with Obi or Kyari with the E Moneys.

Millimann:
She
I some people saidAbba Kyari came to spy in Oba last week?

They're changing the story now. Abi the spying started since last year in Imo state?

I am one of those who said so. Abba Kyari wasn’t there as a friend. He is keeping tab on him and ‘young money men’.

He understands the environment and his job and employing every resources at his disposal to be on top of his game. You’ll have to give it to him.
He is doing his job, infiltrating every radius of the circles even getting to the dots at the centre.

Obi and his mates will be foolish to trust him.
Abba Kyari seems like one individual that will drink alcohol or eat pork with you to know what makes you tick.

I stand by my words. He is no friend.

Tajbol4splend:
This is not about tribe, how many families do you know in these tribes that makes you come to this conclusion

Ignore that man Rossiki. He is an attention seeking troll.

Daniel058:
See trouble making o !

The sang in good spirit bro. It was all done without any animosity. You’d be surprised to know the origin of that song. It wasn’t even from Ndi agbaenu.
