Lol are they doing it for the rest of the country to care?

They are dismantling and crippling all federal government forces in the East. Once they are done with that, they will raise their flag and close their boundary.

How will they close their boundary?




People can be so thoughtless, lol

But then the aim isn’t really about Biafra, it’s about creating chaos for the benefit of external powers...

France is a force for evil in the world.

For Africa, Nigeria especially; if there’s anything like karma, France is doomed. That nation holds black people in contempt and more than any European types, sees blacks as subhuman, treating them like pets at best. No number of black deaths means anything, so long as they can exploit some aspect of their existence

You're running your mouth now, when the criminals will turn around and start killing and raping you, then you'll still blame Nigerian government!

@post, I keep reiterating it, if you are an Igbo person and you know you love Igboland, this is the time to act and show your love. The police and security agencies should provide dedicated phone numbers for patriotic Igbos to report these criminals in IPOB, ESN and co. Those people live in our midst and we cannot continue to shield them at our own detriment.
Anybody who is an IPOB member should be seen as a suspect and should be brutally dealt with. Useless barbarians who claim to be educated, yet cannot use their intellects to go about their quest for self determination.

Is he/she/it Nigerian, is he/she/it even in Nigeria? The efficacy of debating individuals online is limited since you’re ignorant of whom you’re actually debating or arguing with. You cannot make someone who is not Igbo but pretending to be Igbo and wants anarchy, for whatever motive, care about the consequences of anarchy for Anambra, Imo or elsewhere in the east.

Except for the benefit of the gallery, arguing with someone online is nearly as useful as pointless.

I still believe negotiation is the only way to sort this out. If GMB was the one ruling Nigeria during the militancy period in the Niger Delta, there would have been a full blown war in the Niger Delta.

Today, Oduduwa Nation agitators stormed the idiroko border post protesting and even opened the border

As for me, GMB failure to address the herdsmen issue and some other issues like the END SARS protest is part of the reason we are where we are now. Imagine make civilians dey disarm custom officer for broad daylight.

Are these people Nigerians? You might say Oduduwans, which might be funny for a little while. Yet, why is it so called Nigerians that I read on Niraland always seem like cheerleads for Ghana, South Africa, Benin republic, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania etc? The most important, pressing, issue for Oduduwa is border opening with Benin republic.

Stupid people with blockhead conspiracy notions, why don’t you numbskulls just rush to airports and push immigration officials aside and let Covid Indians, the Chinese, and everyone in freely since these people are restricted not by immigration requirements but by the Fulani government trying to deprive Lagosians of potential job creators and trying to stop railways being built down south?

Dear god free Nigeria from the tyrannies of internet empowered mass stupid!!

Frankly these arsonists, thugs and criminals, are doing the state a good turn by burring down these substandard buildings that jokers label Police stations, HQ, Customs etc. Actually, if these attacks weren’t symbolic, I might have concluded the perpetrators idiotic for unnecessarily risking their lives attacking buildings that need not help falling apart.

FreeIgbos:
The tragic irony is that while these Nigerians can easily protest in a foreign country, they can't dare to do so in their own country!! The few they tried in Lekki and Kaduna was violently disrupted by their own government that sent police to use live bullet on them, while others were brutalized by hired sponsored thugs

Here is South Africa, a fellow African country and not America or an European nation. Now, consider these scenarios and tell me if Nigeria is indeed not a zoo. SMH!

First convince South Africans that they are freer to express themselves in demonstrations, with the rigour of Nigerians without fear of police brutality, before trying to convince those of us Nigerians aware of international realities.

Once upon a time, Nigerians would respond to such increases by making their own bread or turning to yams, gari etc made from what they grew in their plots of land, backyard or bought locally, but now Nigerians first response to adversity is to cry ‘we are SUFFERING” or “BRAKE UP THIS COUNTRY!!!!’ Nigerians are becoming annoying and irritating like the rest of stupid, helpless Africans elsewhere. You know, my first degree was in political science and my thesis was on the Politics of Hunger. I learned during my research that the UN , UNISEF, WHO etc turned to a study on Nigeria in order to find ways of alleviating the poverty in East Africa that was leading to incessant famine across the region at the time. They wanted to discover why with Nigeria’s large population and poorly distributed wealth from oil, deforestation etc Nigeria never suffered from same afflictions. The upshot of their findings was that majority of Nigerians –from towns, cities to villages- often kept small farms, allotments; kept small livestock such as chickens, ducks, guinea fouls, pigs, goats, cows etc. In order words Nigerians were self-reliant, including flexibility in the range of foods they were willing to consume and wide verity of staple foods. These organisations took this model and used it in their work with East Africa at the time.

Nigerians today don’t know just how much the rest of the world covertly and overtly admired them and how much the rest of Africa resented them. Perhaps multi party democracy has done Nigeria a disservice. Irresponsible party politics, in which political parties not in power resort unrestrained to every sort of name calling, insults and demonising of the Nation just to undermine the ruling party has resulted in Nigerians loosing respect for themselves in every aspect.

As I’ve continually stated, those clamouring for the return to regions are superimposing their political ideas on reality and mistaking this for what the people want. Given the opportunity many would rather more states in order to express their ethnic interest within Nigeria than much of the other propositions such as regionalism or break-up. For me, devolving of powers at the centre means empowering as much grassroots as possible, which means more states and local authorities not less. Those that believe many so-called minority tribes will settle for anything less than thire own nation, if Nigeria break up, have another thing coming. Many of us are willing to work on the Nigeria that we have now, to make it work, but if you're going to break Nigeria up, claiming that it was a mistake and unworkable, we are not going to want to go into a second similar relationship, we would rather find our own paths. It is all or nothing.

O God! Why is Buhari so predictable?

The moment I saw Burundi, I knew right away, the Ambassador will be a 5 percenter. While fulani are sent to civilised countries.

You're funny.

mrvitalis:
Would yorubas remain in Nigeria if igbos leave ?

Would south south remain in Nigeria if igbos leave ?

If Biafra is what you want, you shouldn’t concern yourself with whether Yoruba or south south remains Nigeria. This need for Nigeria to break up entirely suggests the agitation isn’t about Biafra and that Biafra is the excuse used for a bigger agenda more likely to do with the West or others in Africa.

You’d suppose that by now authorities would either better protect “Remote Police Stations” or use them as traps.

Why is it that what seems like the majority of nairalanders tend not to question, doubt or keep an open mind about narratival articles put to them?

Op is probably right; for my part, I have no doubt that in any fare referendum, the ethnicities he sited would vote for Delta or some new nation separate from Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa and so on. Heck, most would want Ethno nations specific to each if it could be had, which is why you may find that, far from a redacting of states in the current dispensation back to regions, majority of Nigerians would want more State creations if put to the vote.

Whyem15:
Reading a book on the rescue attempt of the chibok girls, the US government was able to get an Sattelite imagery of several people being held hostage around that time. What Sattelite imagery does is to provide visual(and other types depending on the payloads of the satellites) coverage over wide swathes of land and when anything unusual is discovered, the relevant agencies will know where it occurred, the current status, what to expect there and even how it occurred.
High optics Sattelites would have been able to pick up the location of the kidnapped kankara and jangebe students and plan a reasonable rescue mission with the information provided by the Sattelites, but using it during such operations will be a gross underutiilization of the technology when you can use it to detect the camps/groups of criminals and destroy them before such criminals are able to execute such missions.
With satellite imagery, I am able to get information on the defenses of garrisoned towns in the north east.
As for the scenario you are trying to play out, I do not know if there are Sattelites capable of detecting such small numbers but numbers far more than that can certainly be picked up.

In terms of understanding the socio-political importance of the "Space Industry", for want of better a term, and possibly related investments, it seems as if Buhari’s Nigeria is not as forward thinking as was Goodluck Jonathan’s Nigeria. Buhar’s admin is backward in this regard.

Sailing through the smooth waters of vacuum, a photon of light moves at around 300 thousand kilometers (186 thousand miles) a second. This sets a firm limit on how quickly a whisper of information can travel anywhere in the Universe.

While this law isn't likely to ever be broken, there are features of light which don't play by the same rules. Manipulating them won't hasten our ability to travel to the stars, but they could help us clear the way to a whole new class of laser technology.
Physicists have been playing hard and fast with the speed limit of light pulses for a while, speeding them up and even slowing them to a virtual stand-still using various materials like cold atomic gases, refractive crystals, and optical fibers.
This time, researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and the University of Rochester in New York have managed it inside hot swarms of charged particles, fine-tuning the speed of light waves within plasma to anywhere from around one-tenth of light's usual vacuum speed to more than 30 percent faster.
This is both more – and less – impressive than it sounds.
To break the hearts of those hoping it'll fly us to Proxima Centauri and back in time for tea, this superluminal travel is well within the laws of physics. Sorry.

A photon's speed is locked in place by the weave of electrical and magnetic fields referred to as electromagnetism. There's no getting around that, but pulses of photons within narrow frequencies also jostle in ways that create regular waves.
The rhythmic rise and fall of whole groups of light waves moves through stuff at a rate described as group velocity, and it's this 'wave of waves' that can be tweaked to slow down or speed up, depending on the electromagnetic conditions of its surrounds.
By stripping electrons away from a stream of hydrogen and helium ions with a laser, the researchers were able to change the group velocity of light pulses sent through them by a second light source, putting the brakes on or streamlining them by adjusting the gas's ratio and forcing the pulse's features to change shape.
The overall effect was due to refraction from the plasma's fields and the polarized light from the primary laser used to strip them down. The individual light waves still zoomed along at their usual pace, even as their collective dance appeared to accelerate.

From a theoretical standing, the experiment helps flesh out the physics of plasmas and put new constraints on the accuracy of current models.
Practically speaking, this is good news for advanced technologies waiting in the wings for clues on how to get around obstacles preventing them from being turned into reality.
Lasers would be the big winners here, especially the insanely powerful variety. Old-school lasers rely on solid-state optical materials, which tend to get damaged as the energy cranks up. Using streams of plasma to amplify or change light characteristics would get around this issue, but to make the most of it we really need to model their electromagnetic characteristics.
It's no coincidence that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is keen to understand the optical nature of plasmas, being home to some of the world's most impressive laser technology.
Ever more powerful lasers are just what we need for a whole bunch of applications, from ramping up particle accelerators to improving clean fusion technology.
It might not help us move through space any faster, but it's these very discoveries that will hasten us towards the kind of future we all dream of.

Looking ever more plausible that France and not Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Quarter etc are ones lurking in the shadows of terrorists destabilising Nigeria.

First France funding destabilisation in Nigeria through paying ransom for prearranged terrorists kidnap victims in Cameroon and now prearranged Nigerian transporting arms to Cameroon as a pre-emptive mechanism to avoid being accused of destabilising Nigeria by funding Ambazonian incursions into Nigeria...

Premiumwriter2:
This looks interesting. Some things our journalist should be doing but they rather sit in office and waiting on social media to form useless pieces

Indeed, but can you blame them? it’s easier to sit in the office with nothing more difficult to do than make up stories, full of drama and negativity which Nigerians seem to enjoy reading. When the Nigeria media consuming masses become more sophisticated, evident in them becoming more questioning of what they read instead of accepting all that is presented to them, journalists will have to become more investigative and professional .

Spare Parts Dealers Association lol; actually, why be limit to President of Igbo small parts dealers and not Nigeria small parts dealers? See, intrinsic in Ethno nationalism is thinking too unambitiously. Why run away from Herdsmen? Have they got three bullockos that make them think of conquering entire swaths of West Africa, while you, with possibly as many people, are running away and trapping yourselves in ever smaller and smaller enclaves?

Some eminent public figures and their political bases in the media bellyache altogether too much, Nigeria just needs to get on with the practical business of Nationhood. To these bellyaching individuals I’d like to suggest that you’re wasting your time trying to convince us Nationalists since it is clear to some of us that your arguments are counterfeits, evident in your obviously double false positions: false position no 1 that Nigeria is illegal as a British construct and this may be cause of whatever insurmountable problems clearest, actually, to your clique than majority of us. Majority of Nigerians want competent and judicious leaders at work, talk of military imposed constitutions and how this validate or does not validate Nigeria means nothing to them. False position, 2: that Nigeria isn’t, for you, working due to our Tribal heterogeneity, hidden in this is your pretend positions as Tribal advocates when in actuality you couldn’t give a Bleep about your Tribe. Your true positions are as self-seeking individuals either invested elsewhere by Nigeria’s disintegration or concluding that you and those nearest to you have better chances of getting your grubby hands on the livers of National power in smaller tribal nations.
