Did I not warn about this? Isn't this the third example? When will Nigerians learn?

3) Naval Officer Yerima, Known For Confronting FCT Minister Wike, Allegedly Bypasses Airport Screening With Pistol, Slams ValueJet For “Disrespect” After Interception

naptu2:
There are two things to take from here:

1) I wrote the other day that Nigerians do not know their history and so their ancestors fought hard to liberate themselves from problems, but present day Nigerians are fighting hard to return to those problems.

Every normal person should know that subordination to civilian authority is the hallmark of a professional and disciplined armed forces. The nonsense that we had under military rule in which members of the armed forces acted as if they were above the law is an aberration. But today Nigerians are celebrating because they believe that a military officer has shown that he is above the law.

This guy served in the US military and he said that he would have been court-martialed immediately if he gloated that he had been able to overpower civilian authority.

(The kids that are praising this action have not had it happen to them. They will start blaming Nigeria if we go back to military rule and soldiers start misbehaving and "disciplining" them).

2) But the second issue is that Nigerians joke with everything. I say this because I am certain that the account that he is responding to does not belong to the naval officer, it was created to gain views and revenue (and I am sure very many similar accounts are being opened on every social media network).

How many ipobs fo we have? or is it a faction or another group entirely? undecided

One person says this and another says something else.



naptu2:
And that reminds me, I haven't given you an update.

1) Ralph Uwazurike created the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) in 1999.

In 2009 Uwazurike funded the creation of Radio Biafra.

2) Uwazurike had a dispute with Nnamdi Kanu (who ran Radio Biafra) and stopped funding it. Lack of funding caused the radio station to shut down. The station was restarted in 2012 and Nnamdi Kanu became the director of the station.

Nnamdi Kanu also created the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in 2012.

A civil war broke out between supporters of Ralph Uwazurike and supporters of Nnamdi Kanu.

3) Nnamdi Kanu had given instructions that Simon Ekpa should be made the lead broadcaster on Radio Biafra after he was arrested in 2021.

However, the DOS structure that Kanu created sacked Simon Ekpa because he refused to follow instructions. In response Ekpa said that he had sacked the DOS from the Biafra liberation movement.

Simon Ekpa created his own group which was originally known as the Autopiloters. It later transformed into the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) and Ekpa declared that he was the prime minister of Biafra.

A civil war broke out between supporters of Nnamdi Kanu and supporters of Simon Ekpa.

4) Simon Ekpa was arrested and Ngozi Orabueze, who was the chief of staff and deputy prime minister of BRGIE, declared herself prime minister. Supporters of Simon Ekpa opposed her and Ekpa's lawyer filed a lawsuit against her in the United States. They accused Orabueze of launching a hostile takeover of BRGIE.

A civil war broke out between supporters of Simon Ekpa and supporters of Ngozi Orabueze.

5) Two days ago a group of Biafra supporters announced that they had removed Simon Ekpa and elected Ogechukwu Nkere as their new prime minister. It was the Ogechukwu Nkere group that hired lobyists in the United States to convince the Trump administration that there is a Christian genocide in Nigeria (I posted photos of Nkere meeting with US senators a few days ago).

However, the Ngozi Orabueze faction released a statement that Ogechukwu Nkere had been expelled from BRGIE and that he was not prime minister of Biafra.

There is a civil war between supporters of Ngozi Orabueze and supporters of Ogechukwu Nkere.

At the heart of all of this is a competition for power and for control of donations made by Biafra supporters around the world.

No railway. Even in 2026?
It's obvious we don't learn anything after visiting other sain countries
That's why there is space between the two carriageways. The space is for the rail track that will be in the middle, between the two carriageways.

Biafrans please ignore the announcement that IPOB Worldwide called for Monday sit-at-home starry from 2nd Feb, 2026. Please disseminate widely to those who were previously misinformed about the total lockdown.

Governor Soludo's closure of Onitsha Main Market

1) Every sensible person knows that Nnamdi Kanu began the practice of declaring sit at home protests. He usually threatened to declare sit-at-home protests on elections days (though he often made U-turns when politicians approached him). There were also sit-at-home protests to mark specific dates that were significant during the Civil War.

2) Every sensible person also knows that Kanu and his faction of Ipob abandoned the sit-at-home protests after he was detained. They were seeking a political solution to his detention and staging sit-at-home protests would make things difficult for him.

3) Every sensible person knows that Simon Ekpa and his autopiloters hijacked the protest. Armed autopiloters usually staged violent raids on Sundays in order to frighten people and prevent them from coming out on Mondays. I created a lot of threads about these raids and Ekpa often boasted about it.

4) Everybody knows that Ekpa held unending fund raising campaigns in order to raise money to finance the attacks.

5) Everybody also knows that the violence drastically reduced after Ekpa was arrested.

6) The violence reduced for 3 main reasons (A) Ekpa was in jail and so could no longer finance the terrorists. (B) The new leadership of the Autopiloters decided to focus on hiring lobyists to help them get American politicians on their side. It would look bad if they were meeting with American politicians and also financing terrorists.

7) The people on those threads cannot say anything meaningful and their little attempt to make sense is turned into nonsense by the next thing that I will write.

8 ) Nigerians governments, both at the federal and state levels, have done a lot to end the violence in the East. Governor Soludo did not just wake up and close Onitsha Main Market as his first step in solving the problem. Quite a lot of things have been done to solve the issue.

9) The Nigerian Federal Government put a lot of pressure on Finland to solve the problem of Simon Ekpa and he was eventually tried and jailed. Troops were also deployed to deal with the terrorists in the forests.

10) Governor Soludo met with Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS cell in Abuja in order to get him to end the protest. Kanu told the governor that he had nothing to do with the protest. Days afterwards, when his lawyers visited him, Nnamdi Kanu gave them instructions that they should make a press statement that he had disowned the sit-at-home protest and that he was against vilolence.

11) Governor Soludo also met with traders, unions, the clergy, politicians, etc in order to end the violence and sit-at-home protest. They even held a Holy Mass to signify the end of the sit-at-home protest.

12) Governor Soludo has donated a lot of equipment to the police, military and other security agencies in order to help them tackle the problem. The last round of donations was just a few days ago.

13) In fact, the Anambra State Government went as far as creating its own security outfit called Udo Ga-achi

14) These measures have worked. Previously I made threads about Autopilot attacks almost every week. Nowadays we rarely hear about attacks. People now use Mondays to hold weddings and other parties. As the governor said, he passed other markets on his way to Onitsha and they were open.

15) The fact is that there are Ipob and Autopilot sympathisers that do not want the sit-at-home protest to end. I have told you about all the measures that government has taken to end the violence and protest, these people have launched massive propaganda against all of them.

16) They said that Autopilot attacks were being done by Fulani herdsmen and all sorts of people, they said that Simon Ekpa was sponsored by Bola Tinubu, they said that Nigerian Army was massacring innocent people, they said that Simon Ekpa had not been arrested, they claimed that Udo Ga-achi was killing innocent people, there is nothing that they did not say.

17) Now the story is that Soludo has not done anything to provide security, that he is wicked, that he didn't consult anyone, etc. The simple truth is that they do not want the sit-at-home to end.

It gives them something to complain about.

As I said, many of them are Ipob and Autopilot supporters and they'll never want it to end.

Meanwhile the government constructed that market so that economic activities will take place. It generates revenue from the economic activities that take place there. It is a market, anyone that does not want to use it to trade and raise revenue for the government should be removed and replaced with someone that's ready to trade.

yes we have, recently last year in the gulf of Guinea. you didnt get the picture of what i said. why are we celebrating some few km of road not yet completed
1) You said that other nations are having naval drills in the ocean, as if Nigeria has never had naval drills in the ocean. Don't try to run away from your position.

2) This word "celebrating" is just a trick to try and bring negativity into what is a good thing. Nobody is celebrating anything, we are simply informing ourselves about a project that will benefit us. Is that a bad thing? Should we be crying because a project that will benefit us is being done??

I'm getting old. I'm now mixing up Operation Seadog and Operation Odion and I can't remember the name of the 1995 operation in Lekki.

I can still remember what happened, but I can't remember which was which.


I think it was Operation Odion (in 1987) that President Babangida flew from Ribadu Road to NNS Aradu in a navy helicopter and he and the service chiefs observed the operation from the deck of the frigate. Nigerian Air Force Alphas and Jaguars participated in the operation and I saw as they flew past the ships.

Now was it Seadog or Odion that featured NNS Ambe? The point of the exercise was for NNS Ambe to land amphibious troops in Lekki and for the troops to invade land from sea.

I think Operation Seadog was in 1985.


There was another operation that I remember very well, but I don't remember its name. That was an army exercise in Lekki. They put up fox fire signs all over the place.


naptu2:
Senator Sekibo's statement that NNS Aradu is like Air Force 1 reminds me of the only time that I saw that happen.

I think it was Operation Odion in 1987. A helicopter flew President Babangida from Dodan Barracks to NNS Aradu and he and the chief of general staff (Admiral Aikhomu) and service chiefs observed the operation from the ship (I can't remember if it was the MiGs or the Jaguars that the Nigerian Air Force used in that operation). We saw Babangida on the bridge with his binoculars, watching as the fighters flew past.

Of course the difference between that and other events is that it was an exercise, an operation and it was held on the open Atlantic.


What we had in 2005, 2010 and 2023 were fleet reviews. A presidential launch was acquired for the 2005 fleet review (this caused controversy in the media because people complained about the cost) and President Obasanjo watched the review from the launch. That review was held on the Elegbeta Channel. The launch was refurbished for the 2010 review which was also held on the Elegbeta Channel. The 2023 review was held on Commodore Channel and President Buhari watched the review from aboard NNS Sokoto.
