Proudlyngwa: Read what you wrote and ask yourself if it made any sense
That guy said that he is Simon Ekpa's friend and that he is deadlier than Ekpa. I wouldn't take anything he writes seriously. He is about to go where he belongs (as soon as I get back).
I wonder if that funny character is directing his question at me or the military.
If the question is directed at me, then my reply is to ask whether he doesn't have hands and a brain. If he wants Northern pictures, then he should stop being lazy and go and get northern pictures himself. That's why God gave him hands and a brain and he should use them instead of being lazy.
naptu2: The ESN Autopiloters have also reported the battle on their YouTube channels. Search for "Osina Imo" and fine tune your search to "Today" and you'll see it.
One of the interesting things here is that the Autopiloters say that they battled the military. Go to their social media channels and watch their videos of the battle.
But people who don't know anything will tell you that it was "armed robber", "banger seller" and all kinds of nonsense. Do they know better than the two groups that were involved in the battle? Were they there??
ESN said that they fought the Army, the Army said that they fought ESN, but Mr Nobody is saying that it was armed robbers.
Former governors James Ibori of Delta State and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and the managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Dr Samuel Ogbuku along with the minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, also visited the President earlier.
Okezie Ikpeazu @IkpeazuOkezie
Yesterday, I paid courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos along with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his lovely family. We appreciate the magnanimity of the President for this privilege.
I visited the President of the Federal Republic, H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at his Lagos residence during Christmas to share the season's joy.
This visit provided me with the opportunity to express my gratitude for his commitments to the sustainable development of our Niger Delta region. I also assured him of our unwavering dedication to implementing the Renewed Hope agenda in the region.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with President @officialABAT who was in Lagos for the festive season holiday. It was a truly exciting moment to celebrate this special time with our dear leader and reflect on the remarkable progress we are making as a nation under his visionary leadership.
We take great pride in the strides Mr. President has achieved so far through the Renewed Hope Agenda, which continues to inspire confidence and optimism across the country.
As we transition into the new year, today, I led a team from our dear State for a very strategic meeting with our leader and President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
During our meeting, we discussed the pressing issues facing our party and explored innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the welfare of the citizens.
As we go into 2025, I am dedicated to implementing strategies that will foster significant progress and create a brighter future for our people.

Troops of the 34 Artillery Brigade on Friday, 27 December 2024, neutralized members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), during operations in Osina, Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State.
Responding to a distress call about an IPOB/ESN attack on Osina Community, the troops, who were returning from routine patrols, swiftly engaged the terrorists with overwhelming firepower. The dissidents, caught off guard, retreated in disarray. Regrettably, two security agents were killed in action, while another remains missing. Their weapons, including an AK-47 rifle and a tear gas launcher, were seized by the terrorists. The bodies of the fallen agents were recovered as troops launched a pursuit of the fleeing assailants.
Contact was re-established with the criminals at Nkwachi Community, leading to another intense firefight. During this engagement, one of the dissidents was neutralized, while others fled into a nearby forest, unable to withstand the troops' superior firepower. An AK-47 rifle with a fully loaded magazine was recovered during this operation.
Undeterred, the troops pressed deeper into Umalouma Forest, where a fierce encounter ensued. Overwhelmed by the troops' firepower, the dissidents abandoned their weapons and fled into the dense forest with severe injuries. The following items were recovered: Five AK-47 rifles,One Fabrique Nationale rifle,Two magazines, One tear gas launcher.
Troops continue to exploit the area, trailing the injured terrorists and seeking to dismantle their hideouts and places of refuge. Members of IPOB/ESN and other criminal elements are urged to surrender to the nearest military location or face decisive action. The Brigade remains committed to ensuring that the people of Imo State enjoy a peaceful and secure Yuletide season, free from fear or intimidation.
We appeal to peace-loving residents of Imo State to support ongoing military operations by providing timely intelligence on the movements and hideouts of these criminal elements. Together, we can rid the state of all forms of criminality.

Everybody knows that Bola Tinubu went to treat his knee during the campaign (although some funny people were writing that he was dead, he had cancer and all kinds of funny stories). Anybody that claims that he doesn't know this should not be taken seriously.
That guy that is posting about chair should not be taken seriously. This issue has been thoroughly examined very many times on Nairaland and everybody knows the truth (he knows the truth even though he is not a Muslim).
He was trying to sow ethnic division and he failed.
He should be regarded as an entertainer that has come to entertain us, he shouldn't be taken seriously.
Princewell2012: You mean the president is among the disability. Or does the coran have a different law for the presidents. Even if Buhari have once done that means it is islamically right. ? Or show me the pictures of any Arab Nations and their presidents sitting on the chair in their mosques?
Princewell2012: It is islamically wrong to sit on the chair doing jumat or any Islamic prayers, the Iman even knows this, nobody fear God this days because of money and position.
Princewell2012: One thing I like about Buhari or nothern Muslim president, they will actually sit on the mat to observe their prayers anywhere. Nowonder the northern Muslim does not regard southern Muslim as an original Muslim. You can take that to the bank.
Yet Nairalanders criticised President Buhari for sitting on chairs in several mosques.
The Oniru was Bola Tinubu's ADC when Tinubu was governor of Lagos.

"Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, 'The most beloved of all people to Allah is the righteous and just leader.
"We have seen righteousness in you and fairness and justice in you. Please keep it up and sustain it.
"You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed, someone who does what is praiseworthy. This name has been reflected in your past actions, and we hope it will reflect in your actions now," Imam Jamiu said.
