The trend of appointing the northerners in the key positions... It's obvious and deliberate what the president is doing

The issue of Fulani herdsmen is a national issue, as every ethnic nationality is affected. As a pragmatic Igbo person that I'm, I believe Igbo should pressure the SE governors to do more in terms of mitigating against the excesses of fualni herdsmen. Kanu and his terrorist Ipobs are using the saga of fulani herdsmen to cash out from gullible folks. How many herdsmen have ESN/IPOB/unknown gunmen stopped/killed? The answer is NONE. Kanu is only interested in capitalizing on the issue herdsmen. Besides, kanu is a runaway fugitive, who has no constituted authority to float any security outfit. To you mr wisemam....do you know the office of ESN/unknown gunmen? So you want a situation in Igboland where a security outfit (ESN/unknown gunmen) with no fixed address, only be answers to a deranged coward in London, will be the order of the day in the name of security? Never going to happen!
The SE has elected officials and it's their responsibilities to float a security outfit,,,,,,one that can work alongside the police and miliatry, not ESN/unknown gunmen.

And if you have any brain cells to comprehend the issue of niger delta militants, I only used them as an example of what a slippery slope may look like in the SE, if we decide to tow the path of amnesty for these ipob/ESN terrorists.. I don't give a hoot about how other regions manage their criminals/bandits/terrorists. I only care about how we deal with these terrorists called IPOB/ESN and their runaway coward leader Nnamdi Kanu.

Ojiofor:
If you are not an Igbo man what stops you from creating your own version of ESN in your region or invite them to come and set your home ablaze in the name of fighting Fulani herdsmen like they seem to be doing in SE?

It is with heart ache that I've read some comments online from disillusioned and misinformed Igbo youths that Ipob/ESN should be granted amnesty and "reintegrated" into the society. Their reason being that boko haram, fulani bandits and niger delta militants were all granted amnesty. In essence, what these misguided Igbo youths are saying is; 'North has terrorists, therefore we must have our own. The SS has militants, hence we must have oours'. These unreasonable Igbo now see criminality and violence as a form of "national cake" in which Igbo must have her own share in. These ill-informed youths have now forgotten that elections are going to be held in Anambra and the presidential election, which is the ultimate ticket/means to having a substantial part of the national cake is just 2years away. While their counterpart in other regions are strategizing on how to navigate the Nigerian political spectrum vis-a-vis the national collective menace of fulani herdsmen, they are now focused on the distraction known as ESN aka unknown gunmen as directed by the greatest runaway coward in modern history- Nnamdi Kanu. This coward is in London, hiding, having a good time with his family-thanks to money donated to this conman/coward by misguided Igbo, while many keep loosing their lives for a fraudulent cause.

Back to the main aim of this topic; my main reason for being opposed to any form of amnesty to the terrorist organisation called Ipob/ESN is because of the bad precedence such action will torpedo to. If president Muhamadu Buhari and SE governors have the best interest of Ndigbo at heart, they will NEVER grant amnesty to these terrorists IPOB. On the other hand, if the president decides to yield to the outrageous cry of granting amnesty to these vermins, then I would conclude that Buhari hates Igbo.

The resultant effects of past amnesty:

NIGER DELTA MILITANT AMNESTY:
Amnesty was granted to MEND militants by the late president Musa Yahadua, most of the youths were being paid 65k per month. This has lead to able bodied men and women lazying around, with no atom of skill. The only thing these folks are good at is shouting 'our oyel, our oyel, our oyel'. Most of these youths in this region are now into cultism, because of this entitlement mentality.

Boko Haram/Fulani Bandits: The insurgency in the north is now in its 12th year, with no end in sight. The northern leaders funded, groomed and nurtured these monsters, and now they've become multi-headed hydra monsters, completely out of control.

The Igbo I grew up to know:
Growing up, I saw most Igbo parents, like mine push their kids to be the best in whatever they set out to do, especially in education and the ability to decipher truths from fiction (I don't know if such drive still exists in the Igbo parentings of today). The Igbo I knew was a Igbo with the 'can do spirit'. A people who always excel when you don't expect them to and a people with immense wisdom. That's why our ancestors never had kings, hence the phrase-Igbo eweghi eze. We are only led by the wisest amongst us, who must have demonstrated exemplary leadership quality, the most important being the ability to listen to other people's views and to weigh his actions and utterances very carefully, especially how it affects his people.
If amnesty is granted to these IPOB/ESN terrorists, I foresee a situation were most Igbo will engage in a life of crime, making the SE inhabitable. The Igbo 'can do spirit' will gradually fizzle out. Our competitiveness that has made us develop an apprenticeship scheme, which in turn has helped us to develop the largest middle class in Nigeria, to the awe of our adversaries, will be completely destroyed.
Ipob members must dissociate themselves from Nnamdi Kanu. When you study his actions very well, you'll know he has nothing to offer anybody. All he's after is his pocket. To all those who are bamboozled by his ESN, it's all fraud. Kanu video-shopped the the videos of the Ambazonian training camp. His ESN is not even upto 50 misguided youths, 16 of which were killed in Aba last week by the military. Kanu even denied them when they were caught. ESN/unknown gunmen is a ploy by Kanu to keep raising money, because when you keep seeing ESN, you will keep sending money, thinking he's working by safeguarding the SE.

How ESN Operates:
ESN attacks police and military checkpoints. Steals their guns (Kanu is so greedy, he couldn't even buy his ESN an ordinary AK). ESN then buys a cattle from a fulani herdsmen, takes the cow into an isolated bush. Then they video themselves running and shooting, claiming they are chasing fulani herdsmen. They build a few small huts in the bush, burn them down and tell you it's fulani settlement they burnt down. All na format! They are desperate for cash, hence the continued videos of their childish acts. who records himself, shooting and chasing fulani? Enough of these stupidity or else, it will lead to the destruction of the SE.

vybzkartel:
I have this lady friend, who is actually married. She has told me she loves me and wants to get down with me. I am not interested and have told her.

The problem is, she keeps texting and calling me. I feel bad ignoring her calls and texts,

I feel bad destroying the friendship because of her desires

Please, how do I handle this without destroying my friend ship with her? Is engaging her on the phone on normal discussions bad of me? Thank you

Otuegbe:

babamoha:
please what is the value of the naira to Zambia currency? with that we can know how good or bad the dangote guy is.
and main thing is that our government is our worst enemy

samwash:
Let's face the reality, many factors comes into play in the production industry.
lets compare Zambia to Nigria in terms of
Economic growth
Government policies & tax
Dollar exchange rate
Source of raw materials
Market competivenes
Manpower & Technology
Security, Power etc.
A company that has its factory in two different country ( lets say Nigeria & Benin Republic) will not sell a particular product the same price in both country even if they are neighbors.
Note; the value of the country local currency plays a major role that's were inflation comes into play.

IamNumeroUno:
Almost every public institution is on strike, including the president.

We are now left at the mercy of "president" Garba Shehu and vice president Malami. While Ambassador Osinbajo is running errands as usual.

I wonder why they seem not to want to ever promote Osinbajo from his role as an "errand boy".
Heard he was in Ebonyi state some few days back, while there, he stopped by the Afikpo market to check the status of his 10k loan. Damn, guy is a workaholic!

Tell me who's not neglected in this country except politicians and their families.
