Two armed robbers have met their end while on operation at 5th avenue Gwarinpa area of Abuja. The hoodlums after gaining entrance in a compound in the area, started to rob flat by flat before a distress call was put out by a resident to the police. The security operatives immediately showed up -gunned down these two while the other two escaped.

Read what was shared by a witness, Ijeoma....

Ok everyone,God showed up.dead hours of the last night at 5th avenue gwarinpa this guys with two others showed up.drastically dealing with the security man and his family,they had their way in and started robbing each flat.

I will have to commend the police for showing up not too Long after a my friend distressed call was given to one of them who's station is at gwarinpa police station.two were not caught,but this two paid for it.Am full of Joy,And I bless God cus my friend's flat was the only one they couldn't break into.His call put an end to it,saved the whole house and sent this two who has refuse to repent were they belong.Thank you so much Jesus,am grateful.

[/quote][quote author=obainosis4real post=47372415][/i]Well, I so believe that d wisdomkomsi must be an Abakaliki, Izi, Ezza or Ikwo man or not an Ebonyan. talking about academically backwardnes, Ebonyi state is not d first in Nigeria neither is it d last, we have other states that are backward in terms of Education. If they are 10 accademically backward state in Nigeria, Ebonyi state is not among the first seven(7). Cus d part of Ebonyi state i came from are not uneducated. Precisely, I'm from Ebonyi south, more precisely Afikpo.... Would u say dat som1 like Akanu Ibiam is not educated, what of professor Onyebuchi chukwu former minister for health, Mike chukwu former CBN director, steven nwachi present director Chi pharm ltd, and d host of others even d first president of nigeria married from my home town name: Uche Azik iwe, all these from a section of Ebonyi state called Afikpo... Now let's look at Ebonyi south in general, the former senate president during Obasanjo regime, a destined and ingenious politician Ayim pius Ayim and during Jonathan he was the secretary general of the federal number 5th person in Nigeria then, what of d present minister for science and technology who was d governor Abia state when d section was under Abia state Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu. These are recorded in one of the senatorial district in Ebonyi state (ebonyi south). is rare in all d sate 2 hv all these in one section of a state, u can check records or conduct ur survey. Moreso, it would be very prposterous 2 say, and I quote, "Ebonyi is the poorest State" how did u get dat fact? Though is true but we are just a developing state just like Nigeria, in nigeria, a state without oil, densily populated area like lagos or without any mineral deposite is a poor state. I knw my Governor didn't get it right but u don't nail him for dat cus other Governors have made or yet 2 make such mistake and nothing will be said about them but ones is Ebonyi state some pple will b flipping their flipper flouting all sort of foolish fables about the state... The Governor is from d southern part of d state, so is a brother, pls pardon him for that. He will always stand corrected I knw him for that. Thanks my good pple of nairaland. Nice platform. We dey c nonsense lagos ni

We might not have a sizeable number of ebonyians in schol, but I will categorically tell yu..ebonyians r hungry for success, the insults hurled at us from adam is what is pushing us. And I know we gon get there someday!!!

Bia, take time o, don't even provoke me further. Stop misleading people. Mention any HOA member that doesn't have a car good enough to attract respect. Must it be 2016 Prado, did you know how much each of these cars cost? Should that be his priority as a governor?

You talk of him asking ebonyans to come home, to where exactly? has he prepared any place or done anything so far to assure them that if they come they'll be protected?

Aren't you stupid to think that he is right to buy such expensive cars for people that can take care of themselves. Didn't you hear of what Ayade did in cross river? Buying over 20 coaster buses to subsidize transportation.

Haven't you heard of the increased tax rate imposed on house owners and transport companies? Does he has to place a yoke upon the poor for the rich to benefit from? Is that what governance should be?

We're coming for him, we'll remind him why we voted him if he has forgotten.

[/quote][quote author=comrChris post=47350580]as in eh anytime I see a writeup like that I feel sorry for the persons ignorance or rather lack of sense...nl has indeed turned into a child play,a place where people fantastically showcase their ignorance, imagine people like op did not care to know the reasons/ conditions behind the giving of those cars and now he has come to nl to show his foolishness and his types here are pitying or consoling him lol what a deluded set of people

op those cars are not free,the money will be deducted from their allowances for the period of 3 years they have to stay in office and beside ebonyi is not the first to do this,as a matter of fact its legally right for fg n state govts to provide cars for their legislators which to the best of my knowledge has also been done at the federal level earlier this year..umahi is one of the best working governors among this set of governors

jokwa dinwa Bros, its as if we are from the same place Ehugbo( Afikpo North)?

I just pray and hope that the present administration will stumble upon what Sam Egwu saw during his spell as Governor when he attend Governors' conference in Abuja that made him reduce the tution fee for their state uni and also pay bursaries to every indegenious student of the state so as to encourage them and strengthen their parents as well

Bro one of the probs there os naivety and most if our influencial peeps there are corrupt and greedy..
It's there dat you will see a politician with govt approved designated cash for project.he will use it on his personal project while his people will be suffering



It is in my state dat they use Rice and Salt..when i mean rice.i mean a tin Delica of rice with #50 salt and smallest tin tomatoes to lue people to their side and after election. The people are left to die in starvation and with series of diseases like lassa fever etc as some of them see bush rat as their biggest bush meat to their reach


#I CRY FOR MY EBONYI PEOPLE

Dgaffer:
At op, you're right to some extent. I'm from Akaeze in Ivo LGA of Ebonyi state, i did my Degree program in Ebonyi state Uni but I'm here in Lagos state for my National Service....i must say that the state govt is trying in infrastructural development which is necessary but what abt human development which is essential as most of our Eboyians are hustling in the streets of Lagos and Onitsha with no place to lay head on..
The Govt should reduce the school/tutution fees in their state Unii so as to encourage the indigens to opt out from their minal jobs on Highways. Just as Senator Dr Sam Egwy did duribg his era as Governor..

I believe and know that Ebonyi will be better soonest considering the fast growth it has received so far within it's creation year

CyerSeries:
what are you talking about? I'm from Ebonyi state and since I heard the news yesterday, I was so shocked that I don't even know what to say.. Why is the ediot wasting our money buying expensive SUV for legislators that does virtually nothing? Why didn't he buy one of these Toyota sedan cars that is cheaper? What happened to Inosson? With 5m each, innoson can make a very nice official car for them.. I support the OP, the governor goofed on this one.. So all the tax the masses are paying through their is just for them to live a luxury life? We will mobilize and send a strong message to them starting from the legislators.. Anyone seen driving that SUV should be dealt by the masses.. Nonsense

you this boy... Its either u are not from Ebonyi or u dont live here... I stay in Ebonyi and I can tell u dat what he did was in order.. Have u heard dat One of our HOA members was publicly disgraced by d CP citing reasons dat She didnt know because the police does not know their cars? Do you know dat some of our HOA members use their Friends and relatives' cars? Do u know dat these HOA members have not recieved any official car which is dia constitutional right as contained in d laws of d State? Do u know dat those cars were included in d 2016 budget which he is executing as well as other developmental projects? Do u know dat he has not bought any car for his cabinet members(commissioners and Special advisers)? U say Ebonyi people make up 75 percent of those hawking in Lagos, have u heard all d announcements dat Ebonyians should come back home? Should he go and arrest or bundle dem back to d state abi those wey dey d town dey hustle na mumu? U talk about poorest state, do u know how much IGR Ebonyi state Generates in a month? If u want to talk Sh*t about ur So called state Ebonyi, visit am 1st..... Peace.. Unu jokwa

AtlanticBreeze:

not the poorest, one of the poorest but it doesnt matter though

Blastos:


my dear friend, i only asked some question dat u were supposed 2 answer, instead u started raining abuses on me.. The Governor bought Innoson vehicles last year for the HOA members and they bluntly refused it. He returned it citing lack of funds pending when d state economy becomes Robust. So if u have a p, take it out with d HOA members not d Governor.

Blastos:



old man, dats what was budgeted. If he uses less dan dat without dia permission, he'd be probed
