I’m currently building this structure. It’s a 3 bedroom duplex.

I’m at the decking level now. How much do you think will cost me.

please, do you mind pasting the upper floor plan, i like the plan.

Attack On Ekweremadu Got More Responses Than All The Herdsmen Attacks In 3 Years. This is just the beginning. Soon every part of Nigeria would be beating up politicians.

successmatters:
Ekweremadu fought for Nnamdi Kanu, but Abaribe was the one who came out in the open.

go and listen to the speech by Soludo about politicians who're using IPOB to secure something for themselves at Abuja, he warned them that they're creating a monster because IPOB are not fools, they would eventually realise that the igbo elites are part of the problem. Ekweremmadu and others were only using IPOB to negotiate for themselves in the coming election then, even now, they're using them to negotiate 2023 igbo presidency for themselves. Whereas IPOB and the Biafrans on the street wants out of the federation.

Story for the gods by political jobbers, he went to Germany to eat new yam when he has been silent on the issues at home, he got what he deserved.

Lovely speech by prof Soludo in his words "it's only a matter of time (before Biafra is achieved)" and " those thinking they can use IPOB to negotiate something for themselves at Abuja are creating a monster that would consume them because IPOB are not fools, they would realise with time that the elites are part of the problem" plus many other nice quotes. What he said just started with Ekweremmadu.

seborrhic:
This is just wishful thinking by a woman that has not uttered a single word against the Fulanis that are ravaging her kindred lands,raping,killing and maiming as they try to fulfil the plans of Uthman Dan Fodio to move down south, something that they couldnt fulfil beyond Kwara,being resisted by Abike's forefathers.
But always quick to ignite tribal hate when it comes to the Ibos.
Besides she clearly doesn't understand how real democracies work and that if any arrest was done as she wants to revel on,it's just to caution the culprits and advice them to not attacking an individual physically after picketing a venue or stopping a person from speaking.
It's even more likely the German police would advice "high profile or controversial Nigerian politicians" to suspend any travel plans for Germany they have because of "sensitivity of some Nigerians in Germany" and high probability of venues being picketed and events being disrupted.

You took the words out of my mouth, i seriously doubt if any arrests were even made.

Who asked for his opinion? What concerns him with Igbo or Biafran issues? The guy just want to remain relevant by reacting to any trending issues.

Her phone was tracked to a Fulani settlement where arrests were made but along the way, the police started behaving funny because of orders from above. Honestly, i'm tired of Nigeria, it's time to migrate to a safer African country for a start. Finally, we would make it to Australia even if it's in 15 years time but i must leave Nigeria asap.

…Distraught mother cries out: “Anybody that is keeping my daughter, please release her in God’s name.” By Emma Nnadozie, Crime Editor Sorrow and anguish has continued to prevail, palpably, at the home of the Nwawuikes in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos state following the mysterious disappearance of their daughter, Cynthia Amarachi, 25, after she boarded a vehicle from Ibadan to Lagos to spend weekend with her parents on March 15, 2019. The political science graduate of University of Lagos who was undergoing her National Youth Service in Akure, Ondo state was said to have boarded a commercial vehicle at Iwo road, the penultimate day, and even exchanged pleasantries with her friends in Akure before the vehicle took off.

However, her expectant friends who looked forward to hearing from her after arriving her parent’s home in Ikorodu, Lagos, safely, were astounded when consistent calls to her telephone did not elicit any response. In trace of parents Her deeply worried colleagues resorted to facebook to trace her parents and, luckily,, they succeeded. Similarly, the shocking news of her disappearance from her friends triggered off serious tension in the family of six that spent all their savings to train her in school.
Her mother, Mrs. Constance Nwawike, a primary school teacher who spoke about the anguish the family is going through narrated her story in tears. “On the fateful day, 15th of March, 2019, I called my daughter’s number but it was switched off. I thought it was network. I didn’t call again. On Monday, I called the number again but no response. I continued for three days without response. I then alerted my husband. It brought tension on everybody in the family. NYSC reacts The entire household were in tears and even my younger daughter expressed surprise that her senior sister, Cynthia, did not wish her well on her birthday which took place that weekend. Suddenly, somebody called from her service centre and said that they were looking for her. Before I got the news, it was on a Friday, a week after that 15th. The state Coordinator also called and reported that they didn’t see her after she travelled home. Shocked at the unfolding drama, I also informed them that she did not return to our home at Ikorodu. I made further enquiry, the Coordinator said her friend, also a corp member told them that she travelled to meet us in Lagos and since then, she has been calling her number without reply. I asked the man to give me the lady’s number. I talked to the lady and she said that she has been trying to reach me. In fact, that Saturday, I wasn’t myself. I went to Ikorodu police station and reported the case. They said that I should go to Ibadan because the lady made it known that she took Ibadan -Iwo road and when she got a vehicle going to Ikorodu straight, that they had conversation. She told her that she has boarded a bus going to Ikorodu and her friend said she wished her safe trip. Since then, she hasn’t seen her and she hasn’t heard from her. Trip to Osun I went to Osun where she is serving. The head teacher there told me the same story. I know my daughter. What actually happened was that my daughter called her to say that she had boarded bus coming to Ikorodu straight and she asked her about the fare which she said N1,200 and since then, she has been trying her number because she agreed calling her when she gets home .

Since then my daughter has not called her and she has been calling too but she didn’t get her. Since then I have been trying my possible best, even we have gone as far as consulting anti kidnapping squad and they told us that they have tracked her number at Kano. Anti kidnapping unit told me later that they made arrest and I asked how far but the policemen there kept on posting me. Last week, I called them but they said that they will call me back but they didn’t call me back .I also reported the case in Osun state police command. They later invited me for interview but when I got there, they said I should connect them with the anti kidnapping unit investigating the matter in Lagos which I did only for the police in Osun to say that they have been trying the telephone number of their colleagues in anti kidnapping unit, Lagos without success. All my pleas to them to intensify efforts and locate my missing daughter fell on deaf ears. In fact, at a stage, the police in Osun told me point blank that their counterparts in Lagos do not want to relate with them over the case. Tears flow freely (In tears, she continued) I kept on asking my missing daughter’s friend called Yetunde if there was any quarrel, does anybody visit them, she said no. I have tried every possible thing I can do up till now since 15th of March this year, I have not seen my daughter. She is 25 years. How would you describe your daughter? “She is very cool , she is not a wayward type, she doesn’t go out unless I tell her to go out.” Aside the police, did you make any other effort? Trip to churches “I went to churches, all the churches I have visited, they will be telling me that she is alive.” What are you suspecting? “Actually, I don’t know because when she was coming, she didn’t call me. The state coordinator also told me that it is not in their character to restrict any child going home on weekend, if it is during the day that she would have filled form, now it was during the weekend. So, they don’t know what to say but I don’t suspect anybody because since she went to Osun, she had visited us at least twice. I don’t see her with any friend.” Any boyfriend? “No, she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Because she schooled in UNILAG and most times, she comes to my school near her school, most times she comes home and stay at home.”

My plea What do you think should be done now? “I am asking for help, to just look for her. I called the line on the 4th of June last month and the line went through but the person did not answer. I sent a message. The message was, ‘ please anybody, if you know that you are a child of God and you are in possession of my daughter, please, release the child for the sake of God.” Uncle reacts In his comment, factional Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress and uncle to the missing Corp member, Chief Joe Ajaero lamented that he had spent fortunes trying to trace her whereabouts without success. Confusion, sorrow envelopes family “The entire family have been in confusion and sorrow after my nephew, Cynthia, disappeared mysteriously. After we received the sad news, her mother went round all the motor parks; we went to hospitals, mortuaries without any trace. So, the matter continued and we decided to take it up with the police. We took it to the Anti-kidnap squad in Lagos. When they went for operation in some areas, they got some link based on the people who are still using her lines, they went there and made some arrests, about 2 or 3 suspects were arrested. They arrested them in one of the forests in Ogun state. They took them to their office, I wouldn’t know what happened between them and higher authorities and they were released. Then, her second number, the person did not remove her SIM card, the person was still making calls with her number and it was traced to Kano. We got across the anti kidnapping squad in Kano and after some efforts, the details they gave us was not encouraging at all. Some of the guys in Lagos again had to go to Kano to join them. After some days, the man was still using the SIM to call and up till now, the man didn’t show up and the authorities have not gone beyond this up to this moment. It is a case that kept the family disorganized because we don’t know whether she is dead or alive. And the issue now is why the police could not take this matter serious that is my problem although some of the police chaps who are working on the IT side were able to actually trail the areas where the people using those lines are but beyond that, nothing has happened. We have prayed and we have done everything humanly possible without success. Cynthia was posted to Taraba state but she redeployed because of insecurity and that was how it ended A very friendly, very honourable, I have never seen a lovely chap as that chap , you cannot say she has any disagreement with anybody that’s why up to this moment, everybody is still praying that she should be found.”


Police efforts Investigations carried out by Crime Guard unearthed details of efforts made by the police to trace the missing corp member. Police sources at the anti-Kidnapping Unit, in Surulere, Lagos intimated that after the report was made, they worked on two telephone numbers belonging to the victim and three suspects were arrested inside a thick forest hugely inhabited by Fulani herders in Ogumakin, a boundary between Ogun and Oyo states. According to sources, the three suspects who are soft targets were the father of the main target, his wife and sister. They were brought back to Lagos for further investigation. They were later granted bail to reliable shortees because they are not their main target. Trip to Kano Sources said that when the detectives came back to Lagos to work on the victim’s second number which was earlier not accessible, they discovered that it was going through and they tracked it to a town called Rijazaki in Kano state where a girl suspected to be the girlfriend to the main target was arrested. The girl reportedly interacted with the main target who claimed to be in Kastina state on phone in the presence of detectives and he told her to meet him at a nearby town called Rijaremi in Kastina state. Unfortunately, when they all got there, they could not arrest the target as he failed to show up as expected. While they were still with the female suspect, a human right group quickly intervened insisting that police cannot continue to detain her by proxy. Based on that, the detectives now handed the female suspect over to the leader of the town they call Mai Angwa after making a video recording of their activities with the suspect on the condition that he should produce her anytime her attention was needed by the police. Video copy It was learned that they handed over a copy of the video recording to the missing corp member’s uncle and kept one for their use. Sources further said that the detectives laid ambush in the town for days expecting to arrest the main target without success prompting their return back to Lagos. Before returning home, they also contacted Police Tactical Squad in Kano and after briefing them, the unit assured that they will continue to monitor the target. Unfortunately, more than five months after, detectives in all the formations involved in the search have been unable to locate the whereabouts of the corp member, dead or alive.

SexyDenzel:
Due to the wicked, illegal acts and intimidation of the NPF on the everyday ppl I don't feel shitt for them, the soldiers can kill them all off for all I care. This country zoo is full of shitt so many charlatans, unprofessionalism in every sector and I agree with Trump when he questioned if Africans are really human beings. Animals in human skin.

The idiots have been giving similar stupid reasons over the killings at Nnamdi Kanu house and Nigerians were either in support or quiet, the police were also captured on camera stealing in his house, the police gave another stupid reason and the same people supported or kept quiet. Now it's their turn to eat each others flesh, let them enjoy it.

Nemesis909:
Did you read that they don't pay ransom in Ghana?

Ghana that regularly deploy soldiers against Fulani herdsmen ( Google operation Cowleg 1 and 2). Even their current president launched another operation against Fulani herdsmen. So it's possible in Ghana because the government is not supporting those terrorists.

Nemesis909:
What would happen if Nigerians stopped paying ransom?

Fulani herdsmen would kill the hostages without remorse.

Fulani herdsmen are gradually overruning Enugu state from Kogi and Benue States while the state governor is playing politics with Buhari. What the state needs is an anti -grazing law not forest guards. This man was kidnapped from his home o.

I saw hell in hands of herdsmen, says Ayogu
ON AUGUST 6, 20198:00 AMIN NEWSBY TONY
By Ikechukwu Odu

Nsukka—Nathaniel Ayogu, younger brother of Enugu State’s former Commissioner for Environment, Ambassador Fidel Ayogu, has recounted his ordeal in the hands of herdsmen.

Nathaniel, who rejoined his family on Friday after he was freed by kidnappers, said he trekked on barefoot for three days in the bush without food or water.

He spoke to Vanguard at his country home, Egu Ego Umuopu, in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of the state yesterday, adding that he was tied to a tree and abandoned each time it rained, while his abductors covered themselves with waterproof materials.

Nathaniel said one of the gunmen told him that he joined kidnapping business to fend for himself, as his late father’s cattle were shared when he was still a teenager without him getting any, a situation which the gunman said exposed him to economic hardship.

However, while he has reunited with his family, his friend, late Job Ali, who was with him when the gunmen stormed his house was not lucky as he died last Thursday at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Ituku Ozalla, from gunshot wound he sustained from the hoodlums.

Nathaniel told Vanguard: ”My friend, late Job Ali, visited me at about 5p.m. in the evening on the day I was kidnapped. We had finished drinking, when he told me that he wanted to leave.

“I pleaded with him to exercise patience so we can eat and stroll together. He just came out to ease himself and met the hoodlums. They started shooting sporadically and shot him on the stomach.

“I stood up when I heard the sound of gunshots. I noticed that they have cordoned off my house. They had Army , and AK-47 rifles. They were six in number. Then, I decided to run for my dear life.

“One of them chased me and threatened to shoot me. When I looked back, I saw one of them holding my child. This made me to come back to meet them.

“The one that chased me continued to threaten to shoot and I dispossessed him of the gun, but I fell down in the process and he collected it back from me.

“At that time, his members have ransacked my house, taking all my money. They started beating me with machetes and ordered me to follow them. I asked them where they were taking me to and they said ‘Let us go and see Oga’.

“They dragged me into the bush and we started the journey from there. This was happening at about 7p.m. in the evening.

“When we got to the bush, they told me that they were kidnappers and demanded that I should cooperate.

“They asked me to call my brothers, that was when I told them that I was the eldest son.They gave me my daughter’s phone, which they took from the house, and I called my wife to inform her that I am alive.”

CBN lending rate is below 15.5% actually.

My weapon is mightier than their jihadist swords.

I will be very glad and pleased to make up the list of those who terrorise the satanic Buhari led APC govt.

Pls hurry up and submit my name to your Khalifa

nice write up but change your status message, this Igbo vs Yoruba online war is actually fuelled by paid government online change agents, don't fall for them.

God bless Biafra, the land of the rising sun. Nigeria matter don tire me completely.

The Enugu state governor is in bed with Fulani herdsmen because of Buhari, nothing would be done to them just like in previous attacks.

atoleybaba:
I as a person believed that this Fulani herdsmen of a thing is just some bunch of criminals trying to distabilize the nation until I had a chat with someone who is based in a village in yola, Adamawa. He once worked with us in a fish farm in Lagos before going back to his state. He is a Hausa Christian. Well we were chatting this morning, and what he said wasn't to nice at all and just made me overly disappointed with this country. See the chat below

your friend is likely an Eggon from Nassarawa, they're better off than some other weaker tribes suffering under Fulani attacks.

Good day nairaland good people. I'm gearing up to start up foundation on a 50*100. By the Grace of God I'd be giving updates on the process stage by stage

Moulding blocks will commence tomorrow as my engineer also advised 1500 blocks (500 - 9inches and 1000 - 6inches)
Total of 50 bags of cement was given to give 1500 bags.
Moulders will be taking N800 per bag on 6" blocks and N900 on 9" blocks. Please advise if this rate for moulders is okay. I really don't know much about building


Location: Benin City
Thanks in anticipation

Godspeed on your project. Post the floor plan.

medicine after death. all these unnecessary propaganda is a waste of resources.NB - correct me if I'm wrong but the terrorists can bring down helicopter gun ships by shooting them with RPG?

on different threads that made the front page, IPOB proved that no police man was killed and also made it clear that none of it's members were arrested. The police are trying to turn the local masses against IPOB by the use of lies and terrorism, the market association should get involved ASAP to secure their early release.

I just love the zoo. They would always behave against common sense

It's just a video of pigs eating pythons.the zoo army just got served what they deserved by karma.

arabbunkum:
It's a big lie. I know someone who ran away from the army when they were confronted by BH in the North and he is living freely here in Lagos. Don't let anyone deceive you. You can bail yourself with your legs o

lol, I know but if he's arrested, he'll face a court-martial.

Another attempt to distract Nigerians in this election season.

The moderator that pushed this sponsored write up to the front page deserves a one year ban.The APC sees everything as childish propaganda. By the way, what happened to the one billion dollars illegally collected by the zoo army to combat Boko Haram? what most people don't know is that Buratai was the army director of procurement during the GEJ regime, that explains how he was able to afford his expensive Dubai properties, the same thing is happening again under Buhari.The war against Boko Haram is a money making venture for both the politicians in power and the Boko Haram jihadists, therefore, it's not ending soon.

no source?

Nigeria under Buhari is ruled on lies and the masses are keeping quiet because of ethnic hatred, Nigerians deserve the governments that they have.Good one from IPOB.
