Whenever there is a sit at home in South East, there is limitation of inter regional movement especially within the South. Example: someone cannot move from Lagos to Port Harcourt or Benue to Uyo because a lockdown state was supposedly enroute e.t.c.

This thread has clearly shown one thing. An average Nigerian is hungry, angry and (perhaps, rightly) frustrated.

Their default response is just attack, condemn, lambast hoping it would make them feel good. But, it wouldn't.

Dangote Refinery is one, every Nigerian should look forward to as the benefits would be massive. It's a shame, we gleefully consume a minimum 75% foreign goods. So where would the forex come from?

I detest this hopeless government, but I must give credit where it is due. I am impressed with Mele Kyari for his vision and actions so far. Especially with bringing up local refining and with the ambitious stake in Dangote Refinery.

Let's hope it pans out well. Everyone would benefit!

Oracle26:
ALERT: IMO PDP WANTS TO DESTROY IMO STATE

By Collins Ughalaa KSC

It appears we have not heard the last of Emeka Ihedioha's post-defeat stress disorder. Yesterday, the Emeka-nized Imo PDP released another cocktail of lies titled IMO ASSEMBLY: UZODINMA AND REIGN OF TYRANNY. In this propaganda, the deserted party tried to project Governor Hope Uzodinma as a tyrant. They tried to clothe him with every vice commonly known to have characterised Ihedioha's seven-and-a-half month misrule in Imo. Ever since this haughty Emeka was cast down from power, he has tried relentlessly to inflict Imo with his delusions to no avail, yet he continues to try. Although fully aware that the said write-up, as usual, was prepared for the diaspora, with a view to discouraging investment (the party is despised at home since it adopted Emeka as sole heir) we respond for the sake of posterity.

Did you know that despite posing as Governor for 231 days, Imo people never forced Emeka Ihedioha to return his illegitimate salaries and jumbo allowances? Terrible mistake. Actually, the thinking was that with all his talk of integrity "my word, my bond" and all sorts of borrowed mantras, Emeka would promptly reimburse the state, issue a tearful public apology and proceed on sabbatical. Emeka's illegal reign was nothing short of an insurgency, a rebellion against the voice of the people and the voice of God. In other climes, impostors like Emeka are stripped naked and hurled into exile. In transport parlance, riotous passengers like Emeka are immediately off-loaded. Here we continue to harbour him because of our good nature as a people and the magnanimity of the new Sheriff, Governor Hope Uzodinma.

How does Emeka repay this unmerited favour? Sabotage, blackmail, and hate preaching.

Not only has he bullied the PDP into zombie mode, that party now churns out barefaced lies, untruths, and hate sermons targeting the government and people of Imo State. All at Emeka's instance.

Desperation, and mass hysteria have become the defining features of the political opposition in Imo State.

In any case, the claims of the PDP are, as usual, patently false. The PDP does not even know the meaning of tyranny, otherwise it would have sensed that the ill fated Ihedioha regime was the epitome of tyranny. The facts speak for themselves. It was the Ihedioha regime that slapped the wife of Uche Nwosu, former governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA), and invaded the private residence of former governor Rochas Okorocha, now Senator Representing Imo West. The PDP chased Okorocha out of the State and declared him persona non grata. As if that was not enough, the Ihedioha regime led thousands of thugs chanting warsongs to the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, to waylay Okorocha. The thugs, led by the former Secretary to the regime Barrister Uche Onyeagucha (we dislike to associate him with barristers) also stormed the IICC, blocking the ever busy Warehouse Junction in search of Okorocha.

This same Ihedioha slapped his security aides, (those who put their lives on the line for him) and ordered them to frog jump because "they did not salute him".

But in its hypocrisy, the PDP glosses over these acts of tyranny by its Messiah - Ihedioha - and chooses to describe a thorough democrat, consensus builder, a performing governor Hope Uzodinma, as a tyrant, when he has not displayed any act resembling tyranny.

On the contrary, it was Emeka who handled the House of Assembly like his bunch of keys. The moment he laid hands on the certificate of return in 2019, Emeka put up key positions in the House on sale. As so-called governor, he presided over the literal bargaining of principal posts of the legislature from one auction House to the next under the cover of darkness. At some of these meetings brave House Members rebuked him for daring to pollute the sanctity of the legislature and fights broke out.

In the end, Ihedioha single handedly selected the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly and the entire leadership of the House. He was a regular visitor to the Officer of the Speaker and he pocketed the House. The House did his biddings so much so that the speaker at the time relocated to the Government House and was consequently dubbed Follow-Follow Speaker. Ihedioha whimsically removed elected Chairmen and councillors of the 27 Local Government Areas of the State. He also whimsically removed tenured appointees. If these were not acts of tyranny, what else are?

If not that the party has lost its conscience, it should leave the room when corruption is being discussed. The PDP is known as the 'share the money' party because of the callous manner in which the treasury is pillaged under its watch. True to form, Emeka epitomised this. In the seven and a half months that aberration endured, Emeka seized hectares from communities in the pretext of looking for contiguous land for state farms. His wasteful overseas trips (purportedly to secure foreign investment) yielded only promissory notes after gulping hundreds of millions of public money.

Emeka undertook an ambitious expansion of his mansion in new Owerri, ordered a brand new premium luxury Mercedes bus worth N280m at the time, and appropriated One Billion Naira to renovate his office, while pensioners starved. While he spoiled himself with brand new toys, he acquired second hand vehicles for the Imo State House of Assembly and re-sold at two times the market value to House Members. For almost five months of that regime, he subjected pensioners to a dubious verification exercise after which he declared that he would not pay any inherited arrears. Under him, the government ceased to be a continuum.

Under Emeka, the reporting of IGR was consistently padded apparently to impress lenders while he disbursed billions of state funds to prop up his flacid case at the tribunals. What about the billions spent chasing awards all in the pursuit of legitimacy? What about the mindless looting of the Local Government purse? When will Emeka show Imo people where he buried the N19.6bn siphoned through the Bureau of Local Governments under his watch?

When Imo people complained of bad roads under Ihedioha, the PDP either told them to wait for the next dry season, or referred them to Buhari. Ray Emeana, a member of that government and current Secretary of Emeka's PDP, went on the radio to chide Imo people for demanding good governance. He said Mr. President ought to come and fix the critical Owerri-Okigwe, Owerri-Orlu roads, etc. Imo wailed but Emeka hunted unicorns. PDP, the share the money party, cheered as Ihedioha began to share the money to cronies through a so-called 27 stadia project. Nothing could be more irresponsible. What says tyrant than feasting while the people starve.

Utterly engrossed in profanity, Emeka failed to see the handwriting on the wall. He had his shot. He blew it. Today, he wants to distract a performing governor. He wants to draw Imo into mourning. He wants his sorrow to be our song. God forbid! Emeka, and his circus, should know that as long as he continues to put his interest before Imo, as long as he seeks to eclipse the peoples' Hope, as long as he seeks the downfall of Governor Hope Uzodinma, God's universe will continue to resist him.

Prosperity has come to stay.

You know what? We love De Emeka!

madmohamed:
Buhari say IPOB is a terrorist but he went to UN and mention all his terrorist Brothers and didn't mention IPOB. Is he scared to mention IPOB as terrorist in front of world power

To yes he knows they will disgrace him he call us terrorist in Nigeria and went to international community call only boko haram and bandits not IPOB

Well, because he came to Imo state and you all ran into your holes like typical, shameless cowards. Only to start killing your people days later. Inconsequential?

Wow. Let's sit at home!

michlins:
Nnewi. My neighbor had a set of upholstery seat stolen. Another other neighbor had his tools and stuff stolen also

okay

michlins:
I may not travel than everyone else but I'm still sure that I travel more than you do.


Nigeria police is still the worst all over the world but their presence instills some level of deterrence into criminals mind.

My city is currently undergoing unprecedented level of criminality. My workshop was robbed just yesterday. So keep hyping them ugm, you will soon turn victim of criminality and you will get sense then

Where is that bro?

ivolt:
Most police everywhere in the world are not trained for firefight.
Even a dunce should know this!

They were given AKs for what exactly?

Nigerian police are cowards! Except their tactical squads. Most of their units are hardly ever ready for firefights, no gallantry. Strictly focused on #50. Tufiakwa.

Who has a history of killing innocent people, Igbo villagers or nigeria army? Why is your voice not loud for the innocent villagers. Or you're a killer policeman too. Don't worry whatever you are as far as you are against our liberation you will meet your end soon.

You dey mind am? I have not seen them release the Biafran Map of recent. Obviously no other tribe would agree to join the Eldorado as none of them participates in their nonsensical sit at home. Ndi Oji onu.

No single sense in what you wrote.

Una for enta Owerri that day naw. Frustrated lots foaming upandan.

Akonamasi:
Good if you don't know exactly what is happening shut up!

Ndi IPOB, always foaming. Buhari came and left peacefully, fear no gree una do anything. Immediately he left "DSS", "Fulani Herdsmen" and "Government Agents" started killing the same Igbos, they are meant to protect. Ndi ara.

Akonamasi:
So the soldiers are allowed to kill village boys but not to be retaliated on?

"Village boys" "Innocent civilians". Anyway, the madness starts and ends in Igboland, likewise una Eldorado.

Akonamasi:
It's not mistaken identity. The priest is well known. He was just at the wrong place at that moment. He refuse to provide the soldiers who ran into the school to hide despite knowing they were hiding inside. The esn got annoyed and shot him.

Full blown terrorism.

edochie12:
is that your opinion,I am currently in staying in onitsha,we are not complaining,we have been buying fuel for 350 here in anambra while other region are selling 180,we are igbos,we are never backed down,our parents survive three years of civil war and untold hardship,they still come back and conquer your dormant region,I don't know your state in the south south but I want to let you know that we igbos are bigger than you all.

Oji onu

New meme loading. Lol

Any Livestream available?

Omicron007:



I am still perplexed and amazed how this kind of news would make frontpage on one of the most widely engaged forum in Nigeria.

Just because a governor of a state completed a single lane short road with open drainages, it is now worth celebrating?

This is the job of the governor. But because we are so backward and grossly underdeveloped, we rejoice and enter a frenzy mood whenever a politican does what he is elected to do.

After sixty years of nationhood, how do we rank amongst developing nations?
What is our growth index in terms of healthcare delivery, infrasctructure, security, housing, social services and justice?

The thing is Gburugburu as a person, is not really a bad person. But as per class he lacks it totally.

Roughly 7km into Enugu, from the dilapidated Federal highway from Onitsha, you will be welcomed with a heap and mounds of dirts and smoky filths. I am sure Sullivan Chime would never approve of such a sight of horror.

I pity more Nsukka people who clamoured for state creation as a result of Marginalization. Now, people are saying "you see", "we told you", "ochichi amaro unu ahu"



Person...Not bad at all.
Leadership Quality and Class... Grossly underwhelming.

KosiGee:
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.

Chai, can nairaland be made up of 10% of this guy and his contents? Only then can we start dreaming of a "great nation".

Kudos bro.

manitoba:
I still don't understand how 15km of road will take 6 months (June to December according to the report) to rehabilitate.

The people in charge of this should be fired.

See the trick all along. There's an election in Anambra state this year, so the APC government needed to have"something to show", that is why they completely abandoned the whole Enugu section(apart from the 9th mile to Obinofia Ndiuno axis;one carriage of the express, they did 2019/2020) and concentrated on the Awka to Umunya section.

Election is in November and they cannot afford not to maximize their political capital. The excuses about rains is all rubbish.

Is here not the same spot where they were praising the UGM?

Okay o.

adadike:
People are truly living in fear honestly . Today, I witness broad day light robbery in onitsha for the first time in my life.
Those outside igboland cheering ugm should come back home and see how your brothers and sisters are suffering.
Soldiers truly blocked Amawbia to Nise road in Awka
As for me, posterity will be kind to me coz I warned my people but they did not listen
Moving out of South east soon on a more permanent basis

Which part of Onitsha??

It's a Nigerian song that got some significant airplays around 2010s; sung by mostly women. It goes like this..."I'm home my Love oo, I'll be waiting for you, my love my love"...

Kindly assist.

Hello guys, any news??

It is called guerilla warfare. Best army cannot even win jungle and guerrilla wars. US v Vietnam, Soviet v Afghanistan, Cuba revolution. Che Guevera was a master of guerilla war.

Where is the jungle in Igbo land? Let's be careful o.

franchasng:
Muritala was the one giving the orders then, he was in charge of the Mid-West troops of the Nigerian army.


The truth was hidden for years by Hausa-Fulani controlled Military governments after the war. They made Muritala Mohammed look like a hero but he was actually a war criminal.


He couldn't face the well armed Biafran soldiers that wrecked havoc to his batallion at Abagana in which hundreds of Nigerian soldiers got killed by Biafran soldiers. So instead of using that anger to attack Biafran soldiers like him, he rather decided to massacre Asaba civilians in a heartbreaking military genocide that Asaba people will never forget.

Nigerian soldiers then were so scared of Biafran soldiers which made them rely more on British pilots air raids to pave way for them to penetrate Biafran side. The only thing they used to win Biafra was Awolowo's policy of starving Biafran children and killing of Biafran civilians instead of facing Biafra soldiers squarely.


Google "Asaba Massacre" and read more.

Asaba Massacre was in October 1967 while Abagana ambush was in March 1968. How could he have used the anger of 1968 to unleash terror in 1967.??

Good morning guys, how does one qualify to be an Offline or Online investor??.

Thanks.
