ubongutioh: The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has threatened to sack any chairman that allows the flag of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) to be hoisted in his Local Government Area.
Wike charged the 23 council chairmen, and youths in the state to fish members of the proscribed IPOB.
He made this assertion during a meeting with all the 23 Local Government chairmen, Community Development Committees, and youths leaders at the Government House, in Port Harcourt on Monday.
So proud of this. This is what is needed to curb this rising terrorist organization. They are quickly turning to Boko Haram and need to be addressed before it gets out of hand.
saaron: Seperation is the best option. Our 60 years living together on pretence has led to massive loss of lives. Better seperate and live in peace than stay together and live in pieces.
Danger95: You say that I should make it clear that Nnamdi Kanu is stupid, okay Nnamdi Kanu is stupid...Does that change his cult of followers no, Adeyinka's Grandson is hustling for YouTube views, he have viewers not followers, if you don't address Nnamdi Kanu's case with diplomacy, he can set a fire that will very well destroy my people and your people, he don't care about anybody, he only care about the country in his head, more like a psychopath but he is not stupid, that's what I'm trying to let you see, he is not in the same class with Adeyinka's Grandson, Kanu needs help, Adeyinka's grandson is plain stupid, kanu is sick, he needs help, that's what I had been trying to let you see. But it up to you anyway
My guy, you are overthinking the situation because you don't want to put the blame where it needs to lie. He has a cult following because a large amount of Igbos supports his opinions. Simple. Hitler had a cult following because there were enough people who agreed with him, same with Mussolini. Kanu isn't forcing a gun to their heads to agree with the hatred he spews on yorubas. They support it WILLINGLY because they AGREE
tsdarkside: if igbos realy wanted,they would have kicked that animal away long ago....
but what did they did....??
they lobbied and cried day and night to release the animal from prison....
now the loud mouthed nobody escaped....
cownunu is not the actual problem....you igbos are the main problem....!!
There's a lot of truth in this. He spews the things they think and want to say but don't want to have to say it. So they support the man online. If they were really against him in masse, he would've stayed in jail. They support him so much they wanted him released. Yoruba Ronu.
tsdarkside: they dont understand....you cant be callin people names and disrespectin them....
thats insanity....
shey you igbos say una like to fight,yorubas have people that like to fight too....
go ahead....finish each other off....
as for us,deltans,we are stayin neutral....
Exactly. It seems every other tribe sees this except them. The truth is they don't care about the hate they spew. It's only when it reaches THEIR OWN DOORSTEP then their traditional leaders start acting like they have sense and will be calling all yorubas helter skelter to beg them to disavow Adeyinka Grandson. While they continue to act like Nnamdi Kanu does not exist. Absolute hypocrisy.
I want to thank you all for the cordial responses. Let's keep this conversation civil and intelligent. I will log all responses and update the first post with the vote tallies everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day.
Moferere: I am just laughing whenever I see some of them bragging unnecessarily. They don't understand the country. You said that you want biafra, good. Leave with the five states in the east. But greediness has pushed them to say, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Benue are Biafra lands. Werey pipu
They really don't want to leave. They are the ones who are in every other state the most, yet are the loudest on seperation. What sense does that make? It's like if the Americans were clamoring for the US and their best and brightest lived and stayed in the UK permanently. It's backward and makes no sense. And if they want to stay that's great. What I DON'T like seeing is them wanting their cake and eating it too. You can't be supporting a man raining hatred on yorubas and then claim to be the best friends to Yorubas. You cant be supporting the desire for biafra, but at the same time be clamoring for representation in Oduduwa government in Lagos. Pick a movement and stick to it. All these bipolar actions has become annoying.
Danger95: I won't respond to your gloating over the heartless killing of innocent Igbos, I won't wish anybody what you guys are wishing the Igbos, this pure venom you are spitting but I just simply want to make something clear to you, you killed us yesterday, you kill us today, one day you will meet your end, ask the Germans, this much venom you spit, but we are here today, we cried yesterday, let it be known we will resist any attempt to annihilate us, holocaust is not funny but then if you have a chance better preach peace, history hardly repeat itself exactly the same way
And this is why you need to preach peace and kindness to Nnamdi Kanu. His attacks is doing more damage to Yoruba/Igbo relations than anything else. He birthed Adeyinka Grandson and Adeyinka Grandson will birth many more. I don't know why Igbos don't have sense to see this. It seems that once they realize the damage Kanu caused, it will be too late.
As Nigeria descends into chaos, it seems that only 2 things will fix our current situation and give the people the calm that they need to stop looting and stealing from politicians as well as their fellow countryman small businesses owners. It is either RESTRUCTURING or SEPERATION. This is a poll. Which one do YOU want? VOTE
Let's keep this conversation civil and intelligent. I will log all responses and update the first post with the vote tallies everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day.
Moferere: Maximum retaliation? Definitely you are not a student of history. Your people were killed in Ọrẹ, Ondo State the very day you tried to encroach our land.
That's how Biafra died.
Killed in the millions might I add. The Black Scorpion (army Colonel Benjamin Adekunle) has given future generations nightmares. They don't want to go through that a second time. The loss of their financial investments in Lagos will take the igbos back to the stone age.
ajl: Which yoruba will support him? I don't understand. What kind of people do you think we are? It's probably because most Nigerians and even many Yoruba do not understand the foundation of their culture and philosophy. A single proverb is enough hammer to hit this mosquito buzzing in our ears.
Trust me, many Yorubas are listening to this guy. He's stated MULTIPLE facts. Igbos want to remove yoruba strong men to "takeover lagos". Igbos support Nnamdi Kanu in all his hatred epithets amongst yorubas. Igbos are clannish and will never allow yorubas to gain political positions in igboland but will come to Southwest to do that. See how they brag about it publicly. Now tell me, which one of these are lies?
adejumobi1451: Is this not what the South East's Governors should also have done against Kanu?Kanu will soon cross his boundary with other region.
Don't you know the igbos proudly support the hatred Nnamdi Kanu spews on Yorubas? And the ones that don't surely have friends and families that do and will say nothing to them.
Love the unity that we're seeing from the Southwest governors. And I thank Tinubu for setting up good leaders in the state of Lagos that continue to lead Lagos and the Southwest region forward.
GOD BLESS SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA!
Also, see how Adeyinka Grandson has seen a METEORIC RISE in the time span of 1week. The southwestern governors watching his videos says that he must be saying some HARD TRUTHS. Or else he wouldn't be getting the focus he's getting. We shall see what happens.
Whiteangel1234: Yorubas should stop this looting don't push Nigeria into another brutal civil war an igbo man love money and hiss business more than life itself that is an area that must not be touched or the war will be brutal and deadly . #endsars have ended you people continue looting our shops and business
Look at people quick to blame Yorubas. Yet will go into another thread and tell people to stop tribalizing the looting. Ooooh but when it is YOUR OWN you know how to tribalize it to Yorubas. But when it is the Obas Palace you're saying don't tribalize it to ibos. Ibos and FORKED TONGUE are like 5 & 6.
Kyase: On the contrary, Tinubu handled it the way it should be, enough of trying to be the nice guy.
Why should he prove himself to anyone, Tinubu is not the president and at such can't order the army to shoot ( I'm doubting the lekki thing sef)
What I saw in Tinubu yesterday is a fearless Man, stamping his ground.
Tinubu just won himself a fantastical fan and supporter in myself.
Ride on jagaban
This. Yorubas need to learn from Tinubu. Hopefully he ushers in a new mentality for younger Yorubas. DROP the niceties and being the nice guy. Demand respect for family and tribe through power and influence and everything else will work itself out. PERIOD!
LegendHero: If they go there to assess the situation you complain, if they don’t go to asses the situation you complain.
Idiots not knowing how building a country works. Or where exactly does money come from to invest in the youth if not for taxes and toll rates? Maybe we should pluck money from trees and give it to them. I'm a youth but some of these youths that think they're smarter than the older generation are actually SO DUMB. I hope they aren't the ones that will go into politics because they can take us back even further.
Sulele04: YOU ARE UNDER A DECEPTION AND DELUSION IF YOU THINK IPOB/IGBO ARE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST, IF ONLY YOU READ HISTORY THATS EVEN IF YOU ARE TRULY YORUBA.
THEY ARE CHEATING US IN OUR OWN LAND, IT IS ONLY IN LAGOS YOU WILL SEE IGBOS AND NON-INDIGENES TAKE UP POLITICAL POSITION IN OUR STATE(DESMOND ELLIOT A TRUE EXAMPLE) GO AND TRY IT IN AN IGBO MANS LAND AND SEE IF THEY WILL NOT KILL YOU.
IT IS ONLY IN LAGOS YOU WILL SEE IGBOS BECOMING JUDGES AND MAGISTRATES IN OUR LAND WHILE INDIGENES ARE DOING CHARGE AND BAIL.
THE CHEATING MUST END. IGBOS LEAVE YORUBALAND OR DIE.
nairanaira12: Im a Yoruba man and I know you are not speaking for the Yoruba tribe. You are speaking for yourself and those that paid you to make a fool of yourself
I AM YORUBA AND I CAN SAY THAT HE'S SPEAKING FOR THE YORUBA TRIBE!!!
Rugaria: Tinubu is as legitimate a target as say Amaechi who was beaten by ipob in Spain or ekweremadu, who was beaten by ipob in Germany! Those ones never contracted one Adeyinka godson to fight their battles.., never ethnicised the issues..These are political actors whose actions or inactions have effected Nnamdi kanus constituency negatively! If Tinubu wants kanu to stop mentioning his name, he should also stop imposing religious radicals and polarising characters as presidents over kanus constituency! As long as Tinubu is still very visible in national politics, he is a legitimate target and will always be viciously attacked for contributing to the mess that is Nigeria today!
And why should Amaechi or Tinubu answer to IPOB? IPOB isn't a democratic organization, they haven't gotten any elected leaders. They weren't chosen to represent anybody. They simply preach hate online. They're a terrorist organization, no different from Boko Haram.
