mekaboy: We Igbo's can pretend all we want that Kanu and ESN are not behind the attacks in the SE. Like the bible says, " you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free".
This freedom we claim to seek outside the truth, can never be achieved.
The question they can't answer is why the police stations are not attacked in the SW?
So we continue to play the ostrich. When the attack police checkpoints, kill and burn cars, they are UGM and we celebrate.
The attack prisons, release criminals and burn cars, they are UGM.
They attack Anambra, burn cars, and in the process 2 school children are killed, they become DSS.
Now my question is, what is the bargaining power of the ESN/UGM?
The Niger delta protect the oil, so they must be paid.
The fulani terrorists have their member as president. So they can be compensated. Even with the presidency and all the funds made available to bokoharam and other groups, there is still insecurity in the north.
Now Kanu and his ESN/UGM believe they will be called to the table for negotiations and settlement.
Why will the federal government call them? They attack all the police stations in the east, release all the prisoners .
They criminals terrorise the east. Whats buhari's business?
They start to attack government house and kill governors.
The noise becomes too much, buhari sends troups to the east. Declare state of emergency. The fulani headed army takes over igboland.
The air bombing begins. The intentionally target the main markets in the east and bomb them, destroying goods worth billions. They just have to claim that ESN membere went into hiding there.
Target the factories and all industrial areas in the east for bombing. Flights are cancelled to and fro the east.
Food supplies are cut off from the north. The markets are burnt down. Farms are bombed.
Zionmdde: Wat is all this rubbish na Questions Igbos should ask themselves at this point What did those Ipob guys said their aim Is? Protect igboland and ensure peace
What is the outcome since ESN was formed? Escalated bloodshed, insecurity, people fleeing their homes, apprehension everywhere.
Why is kanu still in UK instigating violence? Because he is afraid to come home for the fear of being killed
If he loves life then why is he pushing others to their death? because those obeying him reek of stupidity
Who stands to loose in all these things? IGBOS.
How? No peace, no conducive environment for commercial activities, no conducive environment for investors, Anarchy, kids will pull out of schools, massive suffering. Ariaria market will close up, onitsha market market, grounding of commercial activities
Wat of the politicians we think we are giving a hard time? They are enjoying themselves, they have houses overseas, money keep flowing even more into the face of unrest. An igbo adage says "Ala adi ghi mma bu uru ndi nze How do northerner regions see this? They will be very happy that its not only their region is burning. U can't expect those who hate u to feel sad wen ur house is burning
Wat will happen in the long run? Innocent citizens will bear the brunt. Wen a region is in anarchy army will kill anybody they want and tag the person ESN and get away with it.. People will no longer be safe in their own homes, take a clue from borno state.
Wat Igbos should do? Stand vehemently and fight these ESN guys, stone them wherever u see them, let dem know they are not fighting for ur security.
As for herdsmen, we all arm ourselves ready to deal with them wen they come.
MrMaestro: See how Igbos and Fulanis will be jubilating in this thread.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I implore ALL Yorubas to come to the solution they ALL foreigners in Yorubaland are your ENEMIES. We first need to establish Oodua Nation and then expel them ALL. Otherwise your unborn children will suffer the consequences.
And for the One Nigeria Yorubas damning the future generations to hell on earth, may God give you the justice you deserve.
Armaggedon: Fulani herdsmen invaded school hostel at Igbariam and killed students, the police didn't comment but when the people replied, the police vowed to arrest them.
Biased nairaland. All other papers said 9 herdsmen were killed but you picked mayetti Allah's version published by a discredited website and quickly pushed it to front-page.
kevapet: Helinues, Sarrki account has bn cloned or what do you think? Where is simplyleo, buhariguy, seunsmg, uptimum123, tunjiajayi, abiodun555 self. Naptu2 when is the fact check coming
Ekealterego: It seems your own BMC payments is based on writing on Igbo people.. Poverty is a disease... Imagine, all this stress for 40 euros monthly... kaikai! e no go better for poverty. Imagine me doing this work for 40 euros monthly? I will rather hang myself on a tree.
By Samuel Oyadongha, Yenagoa Ijaw youths from the states of the Niger Delta region have vowed to proceed with their planned protest and
shutdown of the headquarters of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State over the failure of the
Federal Government to address the issue of wrongful appointment of a sole administrator for the commission. The youths under the aegis of Ijaw
Youth Council (IYC) worldwide faulted the report credited to its embattled President, Peter Igbifa on the alleged reversal of the planned protest and
shut down, describing it as “frivolous.” . The Ijaw youths represented by Comrade Tobin James (Chairman, Eastern Zone), Chief Frank Akiefa,
(Chairman Western zone), Comrade Clever Inodu, (Chairman Central zone) and Chief Diplomat Adam Ogomugo Marbo (Chairman Abuja Chapter), in
a joint statement in Yenagoa, declared that the planned protest and shut down of the NDDC headquarters is an action against President
Muhammadu Buhari refusal to set up a board for the commission as provided for in the Act establishing the NDDC board. ALSO READ: PHOTOS:
Passing out Parade for Community Police, Special Constabulary Officers in Lagos They said despite the unfounded statement credited to Igbifa, the
plan to shutdown NDDC headquarters is in top gear by all structures of the Ijaw Youth Council, ”Peter Igbifa never supported the agitation of a
substantive board for NDDC and so doesn’t have any right to halt or call for the stoppage of the protest. “The only reason that will stop the protest is
for President Muhammadu Buhari to do the right thing by appointing the substantive board in NDDC that will carry out its functions properly. “We
are calling on all well-meaning Ijaw youths not to be distracted by the statement of Igbifa which does not reflect the decision of Council.” Contacted
on the development, the National Spokesman of the IYC, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe confirmed the development, insisting that the decision of the
zonal leaders to embark on a protest and shut down the NDDC headquarters is legitimate and those calling for the cancellation of the protest are
enemies of the region. Ebilade reiterated that the protest is born out of the genuine desire of the Ijaw youths to demand a substantive board that will
facilitate development in the Niger Delta region. ALSO READ: Court dissolves 4-year-old marriage over wife’s drunkenness “It is a people-driven and
people-oriented protest that cannot be cancelled by anybody who has never been a part of the ongoing protests in the region. “The protest will go
on according to plan as all structures of Council have been fully notified for the showdown and they are all ready and waiting for the signal. “Our
intelligence unit has gathered that there is a grand plan to use security to intimidate Ijaw youths during the protest. ”We warn that any attempt to do
that will be catastrophic as rights to protest is protected by law. Finally, for those who have been contracted to infiltrate us in other to course havoc
and chaos, be rest assured that we shall fish you out and deal with you decisively,” Ebilade said. Vanguard News Nigeria
thebosstrevor1: When the army comes for revenge. Social media and nairaland plus ipob supporters wont stop crying injustice.
Our soldiers with families at home were on duty, you carry your guns and killed them, when they come back to collect the bodies of their fallen men with force, you start acting like a victim
so the igbos they killed dont have families ? what kind of fuckery is this?
helinues: One of the Top ESN miscreants just bite the dust, those who made this recent attack should not sleep with their eyes closed cos hell awaits them..
Resurrection212: I want to say this again especially for imolite that supporting ESN I noticed something about this kanu supporters some of them never step out from their village these people are stark illiterate.
You are supporting ESN to destroy your state killing your brothers and sisters? Please go to bonu and see the damaged this bokoharam terrorist organization done to the state let me burst your brain bonu is one of the finest state in northern Nigeria
Imolite use your brain dont let Anambra people destroy our state how many incidents of this ESN in Enugu and Anambra state even including the home of that fake general kanu?
And for you idiot promoting terrorist thinking it's not going to be easy for federal government to destroy ESN you are joking have you ever think of your region land mass bonu state where shekaru is being a king will swallow the whole of southeast in three time. Southeast gonna be easy for federal government to mapped out just the way they did yesterday to ESN commander.
helinues: Check within your heart and see who is with dark soul.
Someone preaching on how to avoid war /fracas by any means
Or someone fanning/beating the drum of war to his region unconsciously...
I never see you on threads apart from the ones talking about Igbos or ESN. What you wish for Igbos would come back to haunt you and those who you care about. You are always happy when Igbos are killed or are in misfortune. You have a very dark soul and Karma will pay you back a hundred folds.
owobokiri: The government with the DSS are working round the clock to turn the East into a "Theater of Carnage".. But what they don't understand is that for wars and mayhem to ceaselessly thrive in a given environment, you have to have an already existing culture of killings and bloodletting. You have to have a pugnacious habit within the enclave and you have to have a good reason to war..
Folks at Imo state are only upset with the apartheid government in Abuja and with their re-tarded godson at Imo government house! We are not angry with each other! Never been! There are no re-tarded almajiri ideological structures to enable a laughable "holy jihad" here. So those who are desperate to domesticate violence in the heart of igboland are ultimately going to be disappointed in the long run...
If there is ever going to be violence in Imo state, it's going to be against these foreign characters desperate to ignite one and not within a very highly educated and peaceful local population as the government is trying to engineer..
Don't mind them. They think an average Igbo man is as dull as an Aboki

blackpanda: This was how boko haram started.. The people were supporting them initially till bh started using their own kids as suicide bombers to blow up mosques. I pity my igbo brothers. You may have a sense of righteous violence now, but very soon u will be the one begging fg for help and military intervention. Let's hope it's not too late by then.
Nobody can be bigger than a nation.
A Nation? Is Nigeria a Nation? No one can be bigger than a Nation created by people with similar culture and religion. Nigeria does not have that recognition as a Nation in the eyes of Man and God. Eventually, it would end up like Yugoslavia.
He advised against further violence/guerilla warfare. Let us not misinform our youths biko.
Let the emboldened guide us.
The person I quoted knows what I am talking about. If you think I would stoop low to start a senseless argument with you then you must be as stup.id as I thought you to be. Sorry I cannot help you in your ignorance
Coronabirus: You need to know the damages BH is suffering from NA. The only thing I know is media enjoy reporting the victory of Boko boys. BH had the capacity to attack UN house & NPF headquarters, and some strategic places in Abuja and environ. Thousands used to be massacred in mosques and markets, Tertiary institutions theatres were not spared, prominent people fled abroad and more secured places all between 2012-2015 but today there is zero existence of BH in the entire North except Borno and some parts of Yobe and Adamawa. Insurgency is difficult to finish completely. The most painful thing to note abt this war is; UN have rules of engagement, u can't used heavy weapons on rebels yet Amnesty International is accusing Buratai for using excessive force on insurgents and attacking them when not on battle field which consequently affect the purchase of weapons from the signatory nations to that rules.
owobokiri: At the end of the Biafra - Nigeria war in 1970, the Biafrans had the option to pivot towards a guerrilla warfare but were convinced not to do so after General Effiong reached sundry agreements with the Nigerian State. Those agreements over the years have been thrown into the gutters by the federal government as an apartheid policy of containment was vigorously implemented.. It's now starting to look like the chickens have come home to roost.. All these loss of lives and property are totally avoidable if this country was not perenially visited with an avalanche of highly polarizing rulers desperate to corner every thing for themselves and their kinsmen..
You know your history. Many people don't even know about this.
Chigboboss: IPOB are bent on turning the South East to South Sudan.
We will not allow it.
No wonder some say we are our worst enemies, Tufia.
Did you even spare a thought for the innocent women and children you are putting at risk? The innocent young men that will be picked up in raids against "unknown gunmen"?
Just like Late Dim Ojukwu did at first before later repenting & pledging allegiance to Nigeria after millions killed despite being better prepared with foreign allies, some of us still think ragtag ESN can use force to overwhelm Nigeria because we now have smartphones. Lol.
What was previously bad in the SE will end up worse. Imagine what would happen to the multi billion naira hospitality industry in Imo if this violence is sustained. You think anyone can go to the markets with the sound of bomb-laden fighter jets over their heads?
Hearken to the wise counsel of Biafran General Phillip Effiong upon surrendering to Nigeria after Nnamdi Kanu Ojukwu fled:
helinues: I might not be the right person to post this, but reading the events happening in some part of Imo state is something all sane Igbo should be worried about...
The Igbo people that I know are peace loving people, how did you people allow a guy like Kanu to turn your region into unrest place...
Before the emergence of Kanu, SE region has been peaceful even though there are some one or 2 security lapses which is very common in other part of the country...
Imagine me logging in to check the update of what is happening, like seriously, God forbid bad thing...
Whoever might be behind UGM, ESN are your wards, whatever their grievances may be , which I think some are genuine should be listened to and presented to your political elites then presented to the FG...
You dont burn the house down because you want to kill a rat...
Na beg, I dey beg everybody including Nigeria army, do not make SE make unnecessary international news for bad thing..
We should all be considering the gentle innocent people that would be caught unaware with this .
Please, Ignore the messenger and if you indeed care about your region, then think about this...
