LoL northern hate him because we southern now control Abuja,take heart northerner

On the contrary, my Northern brothers actually love him, and always sing his praises at every given opportunity.

Wike active! The results are clear in the F.C.T. Forget cho cho cho!

yarimo:
Bitter Obidients will soon invade this thread with hateful comment against comrade WIKE

Dem don full thread sharperly.


The working F.C.T Minister, abeg dance relieve stress jare!

These items are even cheaper in some supermarkets compared to some shed sellers.

May depend on the location though.

He did not spend up to 3 hours with the police; he has since be released.

Criminals cannot use our police as a tool for intimidation.

There are a plethora of cases of advance fee fraud with intimidation of the victims (locally and internationally), and it appears the rate of these crimes is on a steady increase.

This is of serious concern regarding societal and moral values of a lot of Nigerians.

AlaafinOfOyo:
We are not landlocked if you know history. Look at this 1856 map of the Igbo country before the British and Nigeria politically shrinked the Igbo territory using state creation, as a result of the loss of the civil war. Even the 1911 map still showed that the Igbo country the British met extended to the Atlantic. Is Opobo and Bonny landlocked? Are they not Igbo territory from that map? Even with Azumini alone, Igbo have clear access to the sea. How were slaves shipped from the Igbo hiterland to the coast? Azumini river.

Even the support IPOB is getting from many Igbo is because they are tired of Nigeria. IPOB is too small for Ndigbo to deal with if the people decide they're a nuisance, but the fact is that their agitation resonates with many Igbo.

In all sincerity to yourself, you believe the British, on their arrival accurately drew the earlier maps labelling 'Ibo' on those areas, then subsequently decided to 'shrink' Ibos?

The fact remains that within a short time, they had better understanding the territories of other Ethnic groups and continuously redrew maps during their expedition. That's why you'd see multiple maps with latter ones being more detailed than the earlier.

Did the British come along with the Kalabaris, the Okirikas, the Ijaws, Itshekiris, Urhobos, Efiks, etc to take over 'Ibo' land?
Who transacted with the Portuguese and Jews centuries before the arrival of the British to the coastal areas?

Having a preference for an earlier British map to latter ones does not change facts, history nor the heritage of indigenous people in those areas.

chopnaira:
So that you won't say I am lying.

Ps: Ibos are also not indigenous to Bonny and other coastal towns.

They know that. A few are just playing ignorant. And think history can be changed online or by telling lies to one another.

Wahabfuture:
Your post make nonsense, anyway you can continue to live in denial and delusion non of my problem, don't make such statement when you get to Opobo or Bonny otherwise your body parts will be feed to vultures, my advice

As predictable, vituperations with no substance.

You go to Opobo and Bonny and announce to them they are Biafrans and find out!

At this point, the F.C.T commissioner of Police needs to be questioned.

What's this senselessness of using the police as a tool for intimidation?

Information reveals he was arrested by a certain fraudster he called out. That one proceeded to use the FCT police to intimidate him.

We're not in a banana republic.


Update:

He has been released.

JagabanB:
Nobody fought for 3 years to keep you, the fight happened to prevent u thièvès from steaIing other trîbès in the Niger Delta, as it is now, if u guys decide to Petition the govt tomorrow to let your 5 states go, we will support u tóxîc foIks to Ieave.

That is even impossible as many Igbos within the 5 States won't even support such. It is more of a socio-cultural problem which needs to be sorted out from within, definitely not by the activities of the likes of Kanu, Ekpa and ipo.bs who aim to feed off the ignorance of the uninformed few.

Voyagerr:
Igbo will rule Nigeria over and over again and again. Time is too long , the world won't end in a thousand years

This is actually a fact. It's only a matter of time.

The saying: a particular tribe will never lead the Country is rather disingenuous and unattainable.

Masterminds of the 1966 coup:

Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Chris Anuforo, Don Okafor, Humphrey Chukwuka, and Adewale Ademoyega

These guys were Majors (in rank) in the Nigerian Army at the time. They invariably had to involve senior officer(s) - Kaduna Nzeogwu, who was Lieutenant Colonel.

On realisation that the coup had failed, Ifeajuna escaped into Ghana dressed as a woman and only returned to fight with the Biafran army (before ultimately, his principal also followed suit), while Nzeogwu Kaduna was apprehended.

This is just to clear the erroneous assumption that Lt Colonel Kaduna Nzeogwu was the mastermind behind the coup.

Major Adewale Ademoyega who was one of the masterminds was not Igbo, so calling it an Igbo coup based on participants was very unlikely. Besides many lower-ranking personnel across the Country partook in the operations aspect of the coup.

It appears there was some level of sabotage of the coup itself by partakers as leaders in other regions were eliminated while those of Igbo stock seemed to have been led to escape or were coincidentally nowhere to be seen.
That is where the perception of an 'Igbo coup' began to grow. Also, with sequence of events after the coup - political and social, this perception grew stronger.

David always acknowledges his Mom.

One of his attires during his wedding was a Benin traditional attire.

These ones are criminals nah!

panpan:
With this kind of harassment, most especially in the south, and north central parts of the country, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has ceased to be of any use to the general Nigerian population.

EFCC should be scrapped. It has become a harassment tool.
If there are any laws enabling EFCC, such laws should be repealed.

Exactly!

Slytiger:
I don't give a Bleep about ijele. He is just another IPOB pretending to be a good man 😂

He is paying, just like Nnamdi Kanu, for the pain, he caused innocent people.

The petition letter which was obtained by SaharaReporters reads: “This office is investigating an alleged case of Criminal Intimidation, Threat to Life, Cyber Stalking, Cyber Bullying, Conduct Likely to Cause the Breach of Peace in which your name featured prominently.

“In view of the above, you are kindly invited for an interview with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 7 Police Headquarters, Abuja on 21st March, 2024 by 11:00am prompt through Officer-In-Charge of Crack Squad.”

SaharaReporters learned that the police refused to release Ijele after he honoured their invitation and was subsequently taken to Keffi Correctional Centre in Nasarawa State on Friday morning.

When SaharaReporters contacted the phone number of the police officer on the invitation letter, the officer said no information would be released on the matter unless our correspondent showed up at their office in Abuja.

The question is: Why is he being detained for a civil case? Without any court hearing? This justice system here is terribly ineffective.

Imagine court officials demanding bribe before perfecting bail granted to the accused!

These are cursed people in our society!

OP, thanks for the reminder!

The 14 days never reach?

Jayhome24:
That is where the rejection is coming from. Next time he need to talk to people to hear their mind before making such move.

Seems you guys are underestimating how low some of these 'politicians' can go in order to ensure they remain in office for life.

The senator is not passionate about any Anioma State! He just wants to capitalise on the fantasy and nzogbu-nzogbu nature of ip.obs and sympathisers with the (im)possibility of stealing Delta North as they are desirous of expanding fantasy biafra.

With the increasing migration rate into cities such as Asaba due to the restiveness created by ip.ob in the Southeast, enticing them with such fantasy would have these people voting for him every election cycle in order to push such agenda on their behalf.

That's why you see many of them quickly abandoned and condemned the creation of Orlu State with speed.

Of course, such cannot be discussed with indigenous people of Delta North.

naptu2:
One very ignorant fellow quoted me and posted a screenshot of Wikipedia. Wikipedia! Can you imagine that??

😂

After editing rubbish there, they use it as a run-to source for confabulations.

sharone21:
Igbons and so called indigenous Igbons are the CONFUSED ones.

We have lived for centuries with our brothers, the Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris from SAME Bini roots in peace despite several decades of Igbos subtly trying to divide us with names and language for their selfish ambition.

Even with gun in the heads of us in Delta North especially the Ndokwanis and Ikas, we will NEVER say we are Igbos ( including Iseleukwu, Onichaugbo, Onichaolona Idumujunor, Idumujugboko,Ogwashukwu( has Iyase title holders) etc.

Traditional gods aren't the same with your amadioha ie olokun, orisha, ogun etc, we don't have same orientation, money worshipping, victim mentality etc like the Igbos.

After Senator went to Ndokwanis and showed his Igbo social media followers oil in the area, Igbos started salivating for DOA, ANIOMA State while as a Politician, he was just pressing Igbos ever mumu button.

U people even fought with our Benin brothers, Ikwerre people and subtly bringing division between them and the Ijaws. One Isoko guy told me, Isokos call the Binis, Aka.... Same name( shortened) of the Ancestral leader who led them out of Bini.

See, with this nonsense of forcing Delta North people to be Biafrans, we will SCRUTINIZE any political option involving Obi since he has never told us his stand about/ against Biafra.

As for any Senator who further seeks to please Igbos instead of the ACTUAL Delta North people that voted them in, Deltans will be recalling them.

💯

Any representative who attempts such selfish-driven misadventure should be regarded as a saboteur and recalled.

Different indigenous people of Delta North have come out and rejected such madness aimed at eroding their identity, heritage and culture.

DMerciful:
Almost half of Delta are Igbos.

Guy, this is a ridiculous lie!


I know a number of people who relocated from Onitsha, etc to Delta and were shocked to find out such talk is unfounded propaganda!
They actually expected towns such as Asaba to be 'Igbo towns', but understood the truth on ground.
And I'm sure this class of level-headed, successful Igbos are Not the ones feeding you these lies.

We've not talked of Central and South of Delta yet!

Many of you just come online to mislead the gullible few.

His grandfather was a migrant from present-day SouthEast

The ploy may be to let the South have the Presidency for 8 years; 2023 to 2031. But by 2027, they would rally behind a popular candidate for a rotation to the South-East to lead from 2027 to 2031. Then North (probably North-East/North Central) from 2031 to 2035/2039.

This tussle may be one of the core reasons for the Southern governors meeting taking place.

Heading to the next elections (2027), if coordinated properly by their key players, the SouthEast seems to be the wildcard.

Except this government expedites the process of instituting or introducing some sort of regional governance, these set of politicians in the North may likely execute plots similar to those against GEJ, but this time, not with BAT.

Eweduses:
Edo people are drug business sha, all their men and women are drug peddlers.

Meanwhile, from the report:

Sonia Chinonso Ezumezu and Risikatu Tijani were arrested during the intelligence-led operation on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 after the big black snake guarding the shrine was demobilised.”

“In the same vein, two suspects: Obi Ferguson,45, and Ernest Abanum, 46, were arrested on Saturday, June 22 when NDLEA operatives raided the Usen forest in Ovia South West LGA, Edo state where 209kg cannabis and a motorcycle were recovered.”

richie240:
Can you imagine.
That will surely lay a bad precedence.
What if tomorrow the northerners also rally round their own terrorists (boko haram) and seek their (unconditional) release.

This is the same kanu that has made the east a danger zone.
South easterners are their own biggest problem.

That's the politics at play here.

Join to push for release of this guy, then demand for release of incarcerated top bandits and terrorists for equity and justice. If not, there's an agenda against the North.

What happened to GEJ would be replayed.

It may be called 'Towel' or 'Saki', but it's actually the Stomach of the cow.
For the medically-inclined, Gastrium.

If I can deduce something from some ipo.b sympathizers here:

ipo.b declared 'sit-at-home' and DSS is helping them enforce it

Kaaiiii!!!! Omo!

The names on pics 1 and 2 are wrong (interchanged).

Secondly, the APC camp seems to be gathering strange bedfellows bound by one common factor - self-centered interests.

Zooposki:
Seems Anioma is actually IKA and not Igbo.

There was nothing such as Anioma at that time. Following waves of migration and settlements from the East, especially with the establishment of the first corporate entity - the Royal Niger Company (later UAC) in where present day Delta is, a lot of Igbos further settled there.

The name Anioma was given to the area in the 1930s.

IjawUnited:
Education is important my brother.

Is South South an ethnic group?

Who doesn't know after the war Igbo people were shrinked as much as possible in other to weakened them?

I totally understand Nigeria for doing that... Any good opponent with knowledge of war would have done same thing after victory to totally neutralize their opponent.

You can call it spoils of war.


It's left for Igbos to rise again and collect back their territories 😁

Map drawn by white strangers is what 'Ibo' wants to use to claim territory?

I hope you can see from the map that 'your territory' extends to present-day Taraba with the Jukuns as Ibos.

Funny people.

IjawUnited:
Bingo.
Shey na only Igbo u see for the map?

Oh! So you could see the names of other Ethnic Groups East of the Niger!

So what shrinkage of Ibo are you yapping about?

Besides, only dense individuals would attempt to claim territories using such map drawn by white strangers who only drew out the map(s) for expedition purpose.

You think they drew the map to investigate your identity?

Considering the level and pace of national development, cost of governance in Nigeria is too high.
That's why a lot of people who have nothing to offer see getting into political/ government offices as lucrative venture.

Once cost of governance is cut, eg minimum wage + basic benefits, mainly passionate individuals would partake in governance, across the various arms and tiers.

Meaningful, well thought-out policies not borne out of sentiments, emotions or self-interest would be formulated, implemented and regularly evaluated for the benefit of the people.

No doubt, there will be job losses following the implementation of a new minimum wage, not only in the private sector, but at the State and even Federal levels. While cost of products and services will invariably rise further.

I hope they are aware of the social effects of these changes.

It's a coastal highway; has nothing to do with the State Capitals or major cities.

It would traverse coastal towns and hopefully attract investments and development to these towns over time.
