I would clearly love to state from this onset that I am not from Kogi State and most importantly, I am a card carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party. After undertaking a short visit to Kogi at the invitation of my very good friend, Robert Arome Eboh, it is important I give my honest assessment of the situation I met on ground. Robert has been my very good friend since my secondary school days, we have both participated in protests, peaceful marches and share a similar view when it comes to politics. In 2019, Robert worked with me as the director of contact and mobilization for the Progressive Youths Initiative of Nigeria, a support group for former vice president Atiku Abubakar. As an activist, he has been one of most dedicated people I know, you can’t buy him. Robert constantly led series of attacks on the government of Yahaya Bello in its early days. He was a strong critic of the government. During the 2019 elections, Robert called me one Sunday afternoon and as we were drinking, he opened up and said, “Mike, I have been criticizing wrongly, Bello has been a product of a negative media attack by the PDP”. I was shocked to hear this. I wondered and asked if it was the same Bello that was owing workers and he said “I took a trip to Kogi after 8months of not traveling, I could not recognize my community. Good roads among other amenities. The PDP never did this things for us. When I spoke to my leader, Austin Okai, he said we shouldn’t care, all we want is to get back power.” READ Tinubu Respects Me As Buhari’s Political Son – Bello I advised Robert that if what is on ground is better than what is in the media, then it is his duty to tell people the truth. He told me that people will say he has been bought and I told him that a clear conscience fears nothing. On the salary issue, Robert found out that the past government had thousands of ghost workers on its payroll and Bello was not committed in allowing such to happen. He wanted all workers to be digitally identified and they said he was owing workers. Who in their right senses will just wake up and owe workers for months? A year and six months later, as he took me round Kogi State, I was impressed with what I saw on ground. Recently, the economic numbers coming out of Kogi has been great. Robert showed me at least a project done in each LGA by this government. Something that has been lacking in previous administrations.

all these paid media supporter are worst than devil by misleading people. So you did not travel with your phone to take picture of the good work that boy is doing. Can you mention name of project that yaya bello has commissioned. Can you mention on economic economics or developmental policy that he has initiated. Pls medical should stop packaging bad products to us. If bello want to be a president he should wake up from his dream. Nigerian are now wiser

Blue3k:
If government intervention caused the issue then reducing it the solution. They should simply allow cement imports as you suggested. There's political pressure against it even from the masses who vote in protectionist politicans.

what annoy me most is that most if not all materials use is cement production are local materials(local content) why will there be increase in the price of cement. Our media are useless. No one have ever invited dangote or probe the company to know the reason.

If they can't regulate it then let them allow free market to regulate it so that importer can import to compete with the local made. The day the allow the importation of cement in Nigeria, that day you will know the actual cost of cement. That day you will know how much dangote is making from the poor masses.

Beautiful year ahead

So present that alternative to them, I can’t even go to my village and occupy any land , I just don’t like the euphoria accompanying the drive the Fulani out, let’s give the true ones a chance, we can’t live alone, I don’t think they understand that they have to make certain arrangements before they dwell in a place, the ones with guns and cattle rampaging farms she be dealt with.

how will you know the good once especially the IMPORTED once. The alternative I will suggest is that they should go to the host community and rent a house and land space to keep their animals. Every morning they can go to work like other Nigerians to feed their cows in the bush and return in the evening(but should avoid people's farm) this will help the befriend with the host community and everyone will live together happily

adadike:
Stop this rubbish right away. As long as they are peaceful, let them be. The last thing I will love to see in this new year is a reprisal attack of any kind. Amotekun go after rogued herdsmen, do same and let the peaceful ones be

I seriously need to think about this advice

Happy new year all

In this way they will be able to regulate , control and enhance their activities. The group also need a huge sum of money to function well. I am pleading with our leaders to key into this

they will support them soon. Mark my words after 2022, almost all igbo people brain will open. After all the political parties have selected their presidential candidate. Mark my words, they will not only join Nnamdi kalu, they will also ask for forgiveness. This is after fulani man has done with them. The thought the get the presidential ticket especially that umahi.his brain will reset

WHY FED GOVT SHOULD MOVE FOR KANU’S EXTRADITION – THE NATION NEWS
By Damian Duruiheoma, Owerri
The Nation news
December 22, 2020

Following the launch of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a pan-Igbo group, the Movement Against Dissidents in Nigeria, on Monday urged the Federal Government to initiate the process of extraditing IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu.

At a briefing in Owerri, the Imo State capital, its co-convener, Obinna Osita, said Kanu should be brought home to answer to alleged offences committed against Ndigbo through IPOB.

He lamented that Kanu and IPOB had been “thriving on their kinsmen’s blood to maintain their profligate lifestyle that entices you to shed more Igbo blood”

According to him, statistics shows that since IPOB started operations, 28,000 “indoctrinated and brainwashed” Igbo youths have been killed.

He also alleged that no fewer than 30,000 Igbo youths are currently languishing in different jails in Nigeria for violence and civil disobedience.

Osita added that IPOB has created more than 30,000 widows among Igbo daughters and that Kanu had rendered old fathers and mothers childless, forcing 45,000 children to drop out of school, having made them fatherless.

“IPOB has some set of reckless, gullible, ignorant and untrained minds called members.


“We must caution here that if this group of untrained and bigoted minds is encouraged by Nnamdi Kanu to carry assault rifles and other weapons and unleash them on Nigerians, we are doomed in this country with a new set of dangerous militia group in Eastern Nigeria,” the group said.

Ta he group maintained that Kanu has never spoken for Ndigbo and does not have any authority to do so because he “lacks the credibility to demand a new independent state of Biafra with the manner he goes about it”.

Ndigbo, he stated, could lose their over $1.5 trillion investment in the North and South because of Kanu’s antics and daily drums of war.

But Kanu, in a statement on Sunday, said IPOB does not need the approval of Southeast governors to run the security outfit.

Southeast Governors Forum Chairman and Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi had described the IPOB vigilante group as “very laughable and should be totally ignored”.

Reacting, Kanu accused the governors of being against the wish of the masses, describing their disapproval of the outfit as “very shameful” and “cowardly”.

He said: “They only further exposed their emptiness and detachment from the people.

“At a time when well-meaning individuals and groups from entire Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt are hailing the setting up of ESN, the so-called governors are busy advertising their opposition to the people they claim to be leading.

“Anyway, they never had the mandate of the people. So, we are not surprised.

“The train has since left the station and can’t reverse its course. It’s pretty too late to have a rethink.

“The people have got what they long desired which the cowardly governors failed to give them because of selfish political interest.”

mmmm and Nigeria government claimed they don't kill ipob. I love this statistic. This man won carry style pull Nigeria government leg

They should share the money I will take care of myself. Sorry let me first punch my calculator. What is the population of Africa?

how I wish I am in lagos

Philistine:
Have you ever been to the North? You Nairalanders like exposing your ignorance on social media. No State from the south will make Top ten of Best road network in the country. I am from the south by the way.

kaduna should be there

BastardWike:
Well, if Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB group can raise a security network with thousands of volunteers, fully armed, trained and kitted with the Nigerian government being unaware, then they're capable of anything.

I'm happy they're taking the science and technology route, that's the way to go. Develop remote controlled rockets that can travel hundreds of miles. Bombs that can be remote controlled, biological weapons that can be released remotely and all because whatever happens, we will never allow any war to be fought in our home soil again instead focus on Abuja.

If Nigerian government fails to negotiate with IPOB and call for a restructured country, I don't see Nigeria surviving beyond 2023.

I watch the video. The essence of the remote is to enable land exactly at the target

Take it to wazobia park gwagwalada. Negotiate with the big luxury bus. At least you will get 50% price reduction but you have to go on time and make sure you select a good and sound vehicle.

Another advice is to sell it when you get to lagos you add money and buy new one

Bonesking:
Where did you conduct the study to say it is the popular opinion of Igbos to want Biafra? Is it Ndigbo who fought a war we’ve learnt from or another tribe? So out of over 40 million Igbo, 1 million IPOB miscreants will decide our fate? You people are just deceiving yourselves. One thing is sure, IPOB will not last 5 years. When the head is cut off, the sheep will be scattered. The end of Nnamdi Kanu is near you can take that to the bank.

We can never allow a pschopath and his army of zombies destroy us a 2nd time. Chukwu nna ekwela ihe ojo. We’ll rather assist in ending him than follow him to that Golgotha.

the way they killed Yusuf and bokoharam stop. Has the death of ikemba 1(ojukwu) stopped biafra? Why hasn't BIAFRA war that killed many igbo deter Biafra. I think you are not a student of history and lack common sense. People like you are the problem of Nigeria. So if you are in a position to advise government you will advice them to kill Nnamdi kalu. Do you think the death of Nnamdi kalu will stop ipob or Biafra agitation. The only thing that can stop ipob or BIAFRA is justice and equality for all no matter your tribe. It seems you are benefiting from this government that is why you are yanning dust

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Genocide in Nigeria 'happening before our eyes,' congressman says at hearing
Sunday, December 20, 2020 9:28 AM

WASHINGTON — The Catholic bishop of Gboko, Nigeria, and the Knights of Columbus added their voices to a Dec. 17 congressional hearing spotlighting sectarian violence in Nigeria in which thousands of Christians have been killed simply for their faith identity.

The hearing of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission was spurred by recent developments: the fatal shooting of 51 peaceful protesters in Lagos Oct. 20; the kidnapping of over 300 schoolboys in Kankara, which government officials there said was instigated by bandits masquerading as the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram; and the Dec. 7 State Department designation of Nigeria as "a country of particular concern" under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.

The boys were rescued Dec. 18, and while the hearing included discussion of a congressional resolution of condemnation plus the imposition of sanctions, it didn't get into the specifics of either response. Sanctions would become a decision of the incoming Biden administration.

"This is a genocide that's happening right before our eyes," said Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey, the commission's co-chair.

"It is depressing that our Middle Belt region has truly become a vale of tears, a region where mass burials are very common," said Bishop William A. Avenya of Goboko. "Since the consistent attacks began some five years ago, there has hardly been a single day without killing in one part of the region or the other.

"In fact, one cannot give the accurate figures of those who have been killed since the beginning of these atrocities," he said.

"Interestingly," Bishop Avenya continued, "no one has ever been arrested or questioned or prosecuted or convicted of any charge related to this spree of killings. Yet, these killers are not invisible, neither are they unknown. Instead, these atrocities are made to look as though they were ethnic or communal clashes."

"Nigeria's Christians have suffered grievously at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups," said Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, in a statement. "The Christians of Nigeria, both Catholic and Protestant, deserve attention, recognition and relief now."

The death toll from the conflict in Nigeria's Middle Belt region caused by the pastoralists, or cattle herders, who are mainly Muslim and ethnic Fulani, against farmers, who are predominantly Christian, relies on analyses from humanitarian groups, since it is never verified by the government.

An estimated 2,000 are believed to have been killed annually between 2011 and 2016 as the conflicts over land and a dwindling water supply, exacerbated by climate change, continue.

Religious organizations have urged the American government to pressure the Nigerian state to provide protection.

Earlier this year, the International Committee on Nigeria calculated, based on what they said were primary sources on the ground, that since 2015, Fulani militant attacks are "exponentially increasing," killing more than 9,700 in the past five years.

Adding to the urgency, the latest statistical risk assessment of the Holocaust Memorial Museum's Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide calculated that Nigeria faces a 7.3% risk of experiencing a new mass killing by the end of 2021, the 6th highest in the world. In 2019, Nigeria was ranked 17th with a 5% risk.

Genocide has become virtually a daily threat, said Annigje J. Buwalda, executive director of Jubilee Campaign USA. "We would additionally ask that more consideration be proffered to ... the rising frequency of deadly midnight attacks on predominantly Christian farming communities in Nigeria, which are carried out by groups of heavily-armed radical Islamist Fulani militants," she said.

In November, Democratic Reps. Al Green and Joaquin Castro, both from Texas, introduced a House resolution supporting the peaceful protest movement in Nigeria.

"The resolution is not enough, but it is something we can do," Green told the hearing. He said it meant "that Black lives matter, no matter where they may be."

Robert Destro, an assistant secretary of state, said he hoped for an "early warning network" to detect atrocities before they occur.

But he said one principal difficulty is Nigerian officials have told him it's "impossible" that religion is a factor in the killings. "They need active ground-level intelligence to be able to protect themselves."

Destro said of President Muhammadu Buhari's government, "They're going to have to want to change."

Nooo wonder. This is why the are kidnappings people from president village (kastina) and also self kidnapping people from Muslim schools to make it look like the Muslim are also affected. The want to proof to the world that the attack is not limited to Christians alon
