Leybari: If you're so sure that Eastern elites and one Nigerianists are in the majority, why not clamor for a referendum? Your voice will go a long way..
What happened in Alaba is just a mirror of things to come.
KingAzari: If it's gonna bring life back to normal, it's a step in the right direction. It will help everyone of us that is now fully vaccinated to yank off the mask and enjoy outdoor moments with our families once again.
and who told you this rubbish you are writing? vaccinated would still get the covid. unvaccinated would still get the covid. whether you are vaccinated or not, you will still wear the mask and maintain your social distancing and avoid crowds. its people like you that are easily deceived
Redcrafton: The best for the colonial masters of Africa is to ensure to their colonies practice confederation, so that the tribes can develop at their own pace, than a particular tribe dominating others. With this, their won't be any much interest heading the central government.
Nigeria type of governance is heavily flawed.
But this present system benefits them. I doubt if they would make that kind of move. They feel we are slaves. I don't blame them.
udele1: By now sensible already know that Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is a fraud and a cancer to igboland. But i must describe the people in the fraud and the groups they belong.
1) Dropouts.
This is the first category. People like Nnamdi kanu that were expelled or dropped out of school. Who were not lucky enough to travel out or learn a skill. So they are already frustrated and hopeless.
2) Victims of Northern Crisis.
These are people that might have lost family members, property and business to Crisis in the north. They have hatred for the north and Kanu feeds them with hatred. They believe if Biafra comes the North will suffer. 3) illiterate traders.
These are the ones that are not educated and can't research. Kanu takes advantage of their illetracy , using Biafran sentiments.
They are the first to close their shops ones they announce sit at home.
4) touts & criminals
these are the ones that did not go to school and did not learn any skill. They live on crime, from pick pockets, to kidnapping to robbery etc.
These are the ones Nnamdi kanu uses to grow his business. They believe that they will be generals when biafra comes. See them below.
These are the ones that left Nigeria out of frustration. Most of them left with no education or skill. They also did not study over there, so they are left perpetually in minial jobs and crime to survive.
Kanu belonged to this group, but ill explain further.
In this group, most of them travelled through the sea, some sold land to travel to countries like India, Malaysia, Pakistan, South Africa etc. Only to get there and discover that there is no employment. And those who they saw come back during Christmas with money are just few out of the millions of Igbo's in that country.
Some are seeking asylum and Need igboland to burn to increase their chances.
The most critical of this group are those in countries they cant work, they cant also get documents. So their only means of survival is crime. They are the ones that jump from story building and die to avoid arrest.
Then there are those who did not learn a skill, travelled to those countries, engaged in crime, went to jail and were deported. These ones carry Biafra matter on their head.
When these people who have no jobs because of lack of papers and those who are stock with minial jobs because the lack education, hear the Biafran message, they believe that Biafra will end their suffering abroad. [b]
Whatever category they belong, they all hope fornone thing, that is a better future.
That future is that magical country Nnamdi Kanu is promising them. He is banking on their frustration to solve his own problem.
The people Nnamdi Kanu is promising freedom, do not know that Kanu was in the same situation with them.
He did not attend university in Nigeria and did not attend abroad. Neither did he take any professional course. Luckily for him, he learnt how to barb hair and was working in a barbing salon.
The son of the so called king in Nigeria that could not afford tuition fees abroad.
Now if you do not attend university abroad or have good certification, you will be limited to these kind of jobs. Even if you stay abroad for 100 years, you will never rise beyond such jobs without furthering your education.
But because most of his followers have to travelled and are not exposed, they believe anyone who is a British citizen is well to do.
Well, the good thing is that u can do what makes you happy. You can use the latest phone and pay installation. Same with cars etc.
You can also do 2-3 jobs save and go on vacation etc. But you can never be rich by Nigerian standard. Your mates in Nigeria who are doing well in Nigeria, will visit and dash you money.
You might never be able to save up to 40 million to buy a reasonable property in Nigeria. By the time you save up to 40 milliom doing those jobs, the price of land would have gone up to 100 million and you have to save for another 30 years.
But they will always tell them Nnamdi kanu is fighting for you, if he wants he can forget biafra and just be living his life abroad.
Thats true, but when you are over 40 years and realise that you will be a barber for the rest of your life, its not funny. The older you get doing the same job without any promotion, the more frustrated you become.
This is the stage Nnamdi Kanu was before uwazurike brought him into biafra. He hijacked it and saw that this business could change his life forever. It could make him stop working for money. It could make his enter family stop working. Even his inlaw master
[6) The frustrated Nigerians
These ones are the ones that went to school but Nigeria frustrated them. They are the ones that lost their job for some reason. They are the ones whose businesses collapsed for some reason.
They might even be looking for jobs and cant find. And dont know how to do anything else than what they studied.
Out of frustration, they are sold the Biafran lie and they buy it.
They believe their problem is as a result of the fulani hatred and marginalization of Igbo's. And that they will become central bank managers in Biafra
Well good luck with that dream.
They forget that this problem of unemployment, failed business etc is not peculiar to Igbo's . People in every region face it. Instead of finding a general solution, they want to isolate igboland to solve the problem.
Note: this problem is caused by bad leadership in all regions. And those bad leaders in igboland are friends to the one that is promising them Biafra.
7) Beneficiaries
These are the ones that know that Kanu's Biafra is a scam, but involved to get their share. These are the Likes of Uche mefor, Emmanuel Kanu, Kanunta, Chika edoziem, Chinasa Nworu, Nnenaya anya etc. They are in it for the money.
Master prophet and his wife do not work for money anymore.
Its until he was arrested this time that the likes of Nelly Ofoegbu in US began to discover looted funds. Unfortunately she is attacking Nnenaya anya and Chinasa nworu.
These people belong to the beneficiary category. They fired her instead of investigating the fraud. How can people who share money investigate themselves.
Nnamdi kanu the powerful president who decides who lives and dies, became powerless towards Nnennaya anya. Because if they start tracing this money, it will lead to him.
Do you know that there was a time Nnamdi Kanu travelled, was carrying Ashawo and was paying them from IPOB account?
Like they look at IPOB bank statements and see payment of ashawo from hookup sites.
This is why i feel so frustrated when i see igbo youths who have no insider knowledge, dying for a scam.
Why do you think he gives their members oat to be loyal to him?
Forget the fact that i am laughing, this js very annoying. Alot of igbo blood is wasted in this. Alot of our women wont find husband because of this.
Our doctors and professors are killed for this.
Willie obiano and atiku gave them money the last time they said no elections in Biafraland. Bought a prado jeep that Emmanuel kanu drives today.
When kanu left Nigeria, he was flexing and eating his money. Carrying women, and lavishly spending.
Immediately elections were about to start, he knew it was time to make money.
How else can you decieve igbos and and Nigerians, if not with religion?
So he had to appear in israel to pickup from where he stopped in the scam.
4 years later, he was targeting Anambra elections again with more armed men. Unfortunately, he was arrested. But he already activated his plan of bloodshed in Anambra for settlement. They will be giving him feedback in detention and negotiations are on going.
But alot of Anambra people have been wasted for money.
Nigeria is frustrating no doubt, we are all in it. Trust me, most people abroad are more frustrated than people in Nigeria. The major problem we face here is insecurity.
Abroad you are not only frustrated, knowing that the minial job you are doing is what you will do forever if you don't go back to school . The worst part is that there is nothing like miracle or chairman dash you money. You work for every penny, that is why they are hoping so much on this miracle Biafra kanu is promising them. They are also hopeful and donating to it.
The worst part of it is the loneliness. In Nigeria by 6 o'clock, everybody has closed from work. You can go to the bar with your friends and chill till late. Saturday and sunday is for resting.
Abroad, nobody has time. By that 6 o'clock, people are going for their second work or going home to attend to family. They work Saturdays and Sundays too.
Because your earnings depend on hours you put in.
Kanu was getting old and tired of that life before the Biafran business opportunity came. Today he has gotten financial freedom, but paying for the blood of Igbo's he used to get it.
Nnamdi kanu is the only one preaching the message of hope. However, that hope is a false hope. A biafra without a map.
Thats why he tells them Israel will help them, years later he tells them Donald trump, now its Ambazonia.
Kanu has made so much money from this business, his only problem is that he cant leave the people following to enjoy the money. He can't say he is not doing again and relax and be enjoying the money.
He was hoping Atiku would win in 2019 so that he can hand Biafran people over to Atiku. Tell them they have reached an agreement, get Atiku to do some things in Igboland and he can rest.
Unfortunately, when Atiku lost he felt so disappointed and tired, knowing he has to continue with this stories for another 4 years.
But he came up with the ESN format, which increased donations and wasted more lives. Kanu knew the ESN members will be killed. Because they were not backed by law like the Yoruba's Amotekun. But he went ahead with the plan, because their death even means more money from donations.
Uche Mefor, though he was earning 4000 pounds monthly from the scam, did not support the idea.
He knew that ESN members will be killed and also the plan to kill people in Anambra his state, during election.
When he could not convince kanu from wasting igbo and Anambra lives, he left. They actually denied him access to radio, because they felt he would use the radio to discourage their plans.
Kanu went ahead with the plan. While blood of Igbo's flowed on the streets, donations flowed into the business account.
What kanu is doing is like what pastors and prophets do in Nigeria.
Members who are facing economic hardship like himself, come to his church looking for miracle and solutions.
He promises them a better tomorrow, then asks 1000 of them to sow a seed of 1000 each.
To each member, they believe what is 1000 to my pastor. But when that 1000 is contributed by 1000 people, its 1 million.
Pastor uses their seed to fix his present situation, while promising them a better future.
Kanu promised Igbo's a better future in Biafra, while using their donations to create his own Biafra.
If Biafra was truly coming, Nnamdi Kanu's brothers would be leading ESN.
If Biafra was truly coming, Nnamdi kanu would be investing his money into it, instead of being paid.
If Biafra was truly coming, he would be ready to die for it. He told ikonso it is Biafra or death. But he is saying he might die in DSS if he does not get medical attention.
Many youths have died because he told them jt is Biafra or death. But once he got information that the army was coming, he fled.
Those he told Biafra or death do not have dual citizenship or british passports to escape with.
[/s] Some times you wonder the kind of education people get these days.
UN should Keep deceiving themself on this unity in diversity shit A nation comprises of people of same tribe.
why is it only in Afica?
Have you seen any western country with diverse ethnicity? Its only in Britain and currently they have secessionists wanting to pullout, greedy people!
Nigeria will loose this time
All that game will fall before Gowon, Obasanjo, Babangida and Buhari they will live to see hOw nigeria will pieces:
please help me tell those monkeys. Imagine these greedy and devilish western countries telling us how we as Africans are to live. If they had not drawn up artificial borders like they did in Nigeria merging we southerners with those people with no future ambition and very low iQ, why would we as a people elect a cattle rearer and a terrorist sympathizers as leaders? In this 21st century.
Redcrafton: The United Nations Security Council has been told that the failure of Nigerian leaders to deal with diversity was the root cause of the Biafran crisis.
The person who made the presentation, was South Africa´s former president Thabo Mbeki, who lived in Nigeria for a few years in the late 70s during the anti-apartheid struggle.
Mbeki addressed the UN Security Council on Tuesday and listed African countries, apart from Nigeria, where the failure to deal with diversity was a root cause of conflict.
He blamed the current clashes in Ethiopia´s Tigray region, also on the failure to manage diversity.
Mbeki recalled that the Nigerian government was victorious against secessionist-seeking Biafra 50 years ago and its leaders announced “that they would follow a policy of no victor, no vanquished.”
Looking at the “painful example” of the ongoing conflict between the Ethiopian government and ethnic Tigrayans, Mbeki said, “this is exactly what Ethiopia needs.
Thabo Mbeki cited “the centrality of failure properly to manage diversity” in the conflicts in Congo, Burundi, Ivory Coast and Sudan.
He pointed to the 2004 report of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission “which tells the naked truth, that it was as a result of the failure to manage diversity that the country experienced a very costly 11-year war which started in 1991” — and there is a similar failure to manage diversity “in the violent conflict which has been and is still going on in Cameroon.”
France´s U.N. ambassador, Nicolas De Riviere, had some additions.
In the Sahel region stretching across northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea, “terrorist groups use differences to stir up hatred between communities,” he said.
And ethnic and religious violence is also prevalent in the Middle East including Iraq, Yemen and Syria.
They spoke at a U.N. Security Council meeting on “Diversity, State Building and the Search for Peace” that was organized by Kenya, which holds the council presidency this month, and chaired by its president, Uhuru
“The key message I wish to deliver today is that poor management of diversity is leading to grave threats to international peace and security,” Kenyatta said.
He said inequality within and between countries “is too often the result of exclusion on the basis of identity” that becomes institutionalized in governments and in economic relations.
[/s] it's really funny how these Europeans and western countries preach to us on how to manage diversity while they themselves have experienced the same issues we have now many years ago. If diversity was that important, Yugoslavia and the former USSR would still be countries today. The colonialist have 80% to blame for the problems in Africa since they have toppled most government who seek a better future for their citizens and installed puppets who protect their interest. These useless people still have the guts to preach to us about diversity. My the god of thunder visit them all.
AntiBMC: Is this not a personal vendetta? He was arrested, hospitalized and now this, all because he criticized politicians generally?
This continuous onslaught on that journalist is giving credence to the fact that Umahi might be one of the politicians, responsible for the UGM attacks in Anambra afterall. Just like Obiano alleged.
They would soon arrest you for hate speech. Nigerians especially those who are privileged to hold any political positions tend to misuse power not knowing that power is transient. Look at Rochas. Who felt he was a God in Imo state being messed up by a man who the people felt his mandate was a stolen one. Sometimes they don't think that the same measure would be meted out on them when they leave office. Please tell me what is the hate speech in the man's post? Did he call Umahi by name or accused him falsely? I hate politicians. They should remember that there is a tomorrow.
Frankdolzy1: Yoruba people are divided, while friendly and peaceful yoruba christians agitate for yoruba nation, the yoruba Muslims are antagonizing the struggle. MURIC, The foremost yoruba muslims mouth peace has always maintain that yoruba must remain united under the rulership of northern caliphate. It's clear yoruba is divided and if ever the new nation of Oduduwa is realized, it may further disinterested into North yoruba with moslems or south yoruba with yoruba christian majority.

[s][quote author= post=106657235]Still About Last Year October 20th. Here was our very first response to this so called MASSACRE thingy from the very first day. Sometimes in October 2020
Here comes one of the few OBJECTIVE POST ON THIS THREAD
Even if it was just one (1) youth that was killed It is a very BIG issue for some of us with brains and souls, If it was 7 youths as it was reported by the genuine protesters at Lekki, it is still so sad, and if it was 78 or 100 youths as it was circulated all over social media, We deserve to know the whole truth as a nation. So we can know how to table our matter to the international community. We want to know what is true and what are lies. We dont want to accept any lies from the Army and at the same time, We don't need some people (celebrities et al) fueling fake news on this heated country now. We are not fighting against Nigeria, We are fighting for Nigeria. #WeStandWithTheTruth Some Nigerians are waiting for what is the truth. #WeStandWithAPeacefulProtest. #AGoodCountryIsAllNigerianYouthsWant Again, We are not fighting against Nigeria, We are fighting for Nigeria.
Conscience is an open wound. Only the truth can heal it.
The Good people of Nigeria deserve to know the WHOLE TRUTH of this Lekki issue now. Heads must roll! Up till now, many Good Nigerian citizens with an open mind don't know what to believe.........still!
But throughout the aftermath judiciary set up, no families came out to say their children or family members were killed, 78 alleged bodies for that matter! May God help Nigeria and Nigerians. Btw, where is DjWitch
Amen. Thank you so much. God bless you real real good too!
updatechange: If you get money nothing wey u no fit influence, after all na people dey influence Boko Haram... Ride on my brother. Long live the king ohaneze
benuejosh: if you don't have anything reasonable to type just keep your mouth shut you bloody Samaritan. Biafra agitation led by Kanu brought the terrorist organization called IPOB. IPOB brought ESN and unknown gun men. Yet because of your hatred for Buhari, you sit down there with your daily 50mb for Opera mini and type nonsense. Don't be foolish.
[/s] very stvpid post. how can a human being with a brain reason like this?
potent5: It's a stoopid post. Op wants someone to invest in this country without level playing field, where a rich few are given import waivers and allowed to have monopolies.
