Kai...for more than 3 hours now there have been intermittent sporadic shots around Owerri Municipal. Adjourning Wetheral road leading to Douglas road and Ama Awusa. A friend just informed that there was an ongoing gun battle in that area. And Hausa boys were scraping their matchetes on the tarred road along Nekede-West End axis...
TheLionofLasigi: You still haven't answered the question I asked....what economic or political gain is there by attacking army and police check points? How does that weaken the supposed enemy? And do you think this human rights crimes that you speak of don't also exist in other parts of Nigeria? What leverage do you guys have? ....... reactionary men may seem brave but they hardly win wars.
You are talking of economic and political gain when revenge is involved. When someone kills your loved ones, you don't sit down to think about your political and economic gain before exacting revenge, do you? Taking a life of those killer security officers is the payback they UGM care about.
Daisukee: After dating for four years online, I have finally gotten visa to Bulgaria to meet my Bulgarian love, I am 33 years old and she’s 52. We have tried and applied for visa twice but it was rejected twice, once for tourist visa and the other for student visa even though I was given admission by the university. But finally I have been given visa and will be off in a month time. But I have a problem, they are two, one: I have a very strong body odor, I got this when I travelled to Kenya January this year but I and my friend were looseguarded by our host and we slept in the street for two weeks without bathing for a single day, I came back to Nigeria and I have tried all sorts of medications to no avail and secondly: I want to whiten my teeth as my Bulgarian woman has told me she would love my teeth whiter, I am currently in ore and will be in Benin city by next week, where can I improve the shade of my teeth and how much does it cost ? Thanks for your inputs and jah bless .
Where una dey see all these stories dey tell us Biko? Make una do give away dash us some na, make we too follow trend
Great minds respect great feats, little minds detest what they don't understand, cos they are wired to comprehend only little things. Mock Ikonso (Holy Cup) all you care, but at least he died for what he believed in. Now that's a noble man..
ChrisOsaEdo: The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC has suspended Channels Television with a fine N5 million for breaching the broadcast code.
In a letter to the Managing Director of Channels Television signed by the Acting Director-General of the Commission, NBC, Armstrong Idachaba, the Commission referred to Channels 7pm live broadcast programme of Sunday, April 25, 2021.
According to the NBC, the TV station erred by allowing a leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB to make secessionist and inciting declarations on air without caution or reprimand.
Mr Amstrong added that such act contravenes broadcast code.
It also accused the station of allowing the guest speaker to make derogatory, false and misleading statements about the Nigerian army, despite being proscribed by a court of law.
And here we were feeling bad about Twitter ignoring Nigeria while choosing Ghana as her African base. Ndi ala...... Uncultured Philistines heading the ship of our nation.
Plus5: It is no news that Chadian strongman Idris Deby has passed on. (May Allah grant him journey mercy). What is still news is that the circumstances surrounding his death are unclear even to his aides. Today, I will tell us the latest gist on the streets of Ndjamena, from Chadians themselves.
Latest sources confirm the late president visited the frontline, but he was not in harms way and he was with sufficient security around him. This position is not contested as no sane security team will take a sitting president to the combat zone. So, yes he visited the frontline but not the hot spots. No president would be put in direct harm. No way. It is unthinkable.
Chadians say, none of his security details saw a rebel nor was there active fighting when Deby visited. Thus the story making the rounds that he died on the frontline is partly incorrect. He was not in the fighting area.
His security details have said, they did not hear gunshot until the bullet struck Deby. The bullet from nowhere just hit Deby straight in the chest. No one heard the shot or saw the shooter. And the bullet hit Deby in the chest which indicates a Target. All security men around him were unscathed. Which leads to one Conclusion. SNIPER . SNIPER. SNIPER. SNIPER. An inside mole must have leaked the president's movement which allowed a SNIPER to position. These don't sound like Rebels work.
The debate now is, (A) would rebels have a SNIPER. A well trained SNIPER that can target accurately from hundreds of miles away ? Your answer ?? (B) would rebels know when and where exactly the president is visiting to insert a SNIPER ?
You can answer yourselves the questions that Chadians are asking themselves.
The current thinking now is that the Rebels probably hit a Jackpot or that the Rebels didn't kill Deby. The latter is more plausible because you cannot hit a Jackpot with a bullet to the chest. That was a Target.
So, who killed Idris Deby? And Why?
Well, few Chadians know Uncle Tom killed Idris Deby. And still attended his funeral.
Buy Why?? Chadians don't know and are still asking. Why ??
African presidents must take their security very seriously. They must weed out moles from their inner circle. And protect their movement and residences. This is very important, we are in interesting times.
I love your analysis. When I heard of the news of his death last week, my mind immediately went this ; Inside job!!
After mingling with criminal minds and getting exposed to gangland how-tos/histories especially mafia (The Godfather, Last Don etc), my eyes are opened to the modus operandi of these guys. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". That maxim is the number one rule for any leader wants to go far and live long as the late Fidel Castro did. Imagine surviving over 40 assassination attempts. Enuff said!
Permesso: you won't talk about when he said Elohim told him if Biafra doesn't come 2019- 2020 respectively he will drop the struggle on his Audio clip, What happened because we're in 2021?
He is right. Biafra has already arrived in the Spirit, what is just remaining now is the physical manifestation. This is deep and needs to be understood from the the standpoint of the spiritual...
TheLionofLasigi: Assuming these guys are attacking actual fulani's or federal state resources it would have made sense.....like what's the economic gain of attacking a check point if oil pipelines run through your region feeding northern states...I still don't get the logic of these ipob guys.
The security forces have been on the matter of IPOB for a longgg time. Remember Operation Python dance? Remember the mass murder of Biafran youths in various south eastern states in cold blood? Are you aware that there are so many needless security checkpoints extorting money in the South eastern states? Are you aware that the Nigerian Army and her sister forces are all loyal and obedient to the Fulani government?
If you cannot see, do you not hear that the herdsmen are being aided by the Nigerian Army? Herdsmen are walking free even when they're known as the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the world. Boko Haram are being given amnesty and integrated into the Army why civil IPOB were being treated as second class citizens in their own land. Why would the army go after the ESN who are going their homeland and ignore the herdsmen?.The list goes on...
From my above write up, I hope you are catching the message now behind what ESN and IPOB are doing?
kettykin: people like you create more problems than solutions, if the attack of the police and military did not stop boko haram why then are you encouraging such with the false belief it will silence ESN/UGM. a while ago these IPOBs were unarmed demonstrators doing their street protest until the ignorant imbeciles in uniform started killing them , now the battle has gone to beheading soldiers and you are urging soldiers to continue
adekolaelect: continuing celebrating unrest in you region while other state governor's are commissioning developmental project in their states and later claiming to be a developer of another man's lands.
Epic lame. What is the use of developing your so called area for marauding evil herdsmen who will come in and take over very soon? Wake up and smell the coffee ooo. One thing I hate about guys like this commenter above me is that his type are quick to point fingers at the effect without taking a thought for what caused the effect.. Grow up son.
Resurrection212: 11 soldiers You lied boy, do you know how many number of ipob terrorist gunned down? You think the soldiers only killed the terrorist commander. They only posting his picture because he is a ring leader and a big fish for the ipob terrorist organization. Nigeria army can kill 100 ipob terrorist without posting them if they don't popular among the team.
Mozegee: 93 and she still look like 63. Money is good and don't come and preach to me here that money is the root of all evil.it is only poor in spirit that always preach that.
That's overstatement ooo. She looks older than 63 biko..Though she is aging well sha.
Nice one. I like men who dote over and take care of their mum cos I am one. Though mine is late.
Shame on those who say only women care for their aged parents. That statement dey pain me eh. I am like do they mean that men don't take care of their parents too. God bless Tony Elumelu as we keep rewriting the narrative. Sweet mother God bless your age ma.
