lol. . . I don't know what you mean but it is obvious that the Igbo people have been very tactical in this issue, keeping the golden mean between saying too much and saying very little. Even during the debate at the NA one could hardly decipher our stance on the issue . .lol. . Shows a new political consciousness and orientation very different from the past. I kind of like it though, you can neither tell if we were here nor there. . This is very strategic and important for posterity sake, gone are the days when we go it all regardless of what it might portend for our political future.

Let's say we are learning to play the game, Nigerian style. Good luck and be careful with police bullets during the protests. Jisie ike.

Why the diversion? U av run outa ideas.

I don't do rumors. Please prove your claim then we can start the debate. Thanks.

Mai-suya:
Shame on all u clowns that claim to be christains. As I said before I have never seen any Muslim or northerner say on naira land that they support the senseless killings of christains in the north, infact everyone of them condemned it.

But today I saw so called chrisatains atheists come out here saying kill them Muslims all. Shame on you I say.

There are many supporters on facebook and they hinge their position on the claim that Christians did nothing when Muslims were killed on Idelkabir (sp?) day celebrations in Jos sometime ago. Were those Muslims killed by southerners? Were they killed because they were Muslims? Is the crisis in Jos not between fulani and Berom, and therefore is ethnic rather than religion motivated? Why extend the animosity to others?

Sorry loser, cant help you.

dayokanu:
What do you expect him to say? When plan of the subsidy is to increase State governors allocation

1. He is PDP

2 He is IBo

3 he is a governor

How much did Wale Tinubu and Femi Otedola, owners of the Yoruba-owned company and the richest of the fuel subsidy conmen, pay the Yorubas to demontrate for them?

deleted

rhymz:
hahahahaha. . . Cunning guy!!
Yeah right, we dey represent Igbo. . Lol
guy I dey represent my future Nwanne.[b] I understand how politically strategic the Igbos are going about this whole strike giving past events [/b]but I don't think it is right for anyone to discourage or even ban ppl from protesting their displeasure of this policy cos after all said and done the pinch is in my pocket and whatever progress that comes out of it will be for everyone. Let's look at the bigger picture here.

With you and 1000000s other Igbos over there representing us in the protest, the statement in bold is no longer necessary, no?

sheyguy:
if everyone har the right to protest if they decide to, why is the governor restricting them from exercising their rights?

simple question, why is the Governor restricting the citizens of Enugu state. What of igbos or even hausas in that state who would like to express themselves.

That is what the news paper said. Do you really believe that? Have you heard from the gov? There is always two sides to every story, remember?

Freedom of speech
Freedom to accent or dissent
Nigeria is not Iran.
Down with cyber bullies.

As far as I am concerned, the strike/ protest was a stupid idea to begin with. But I will not begrudge those protesting since they have time on their hands.

Fuel subsidy needed to go because it is not sustainable and has not served its purpose, but instead has enriched few cabals like Oando and co. The more it is delayed, the more the doomsday is postponed. How come no one protested all the killings by Boko Haram? I see!! In Naija a gallon of fuel is worth two human lives. Why are we not calling to question all the past leaders who mismanaged the refineries such that we have now to import fuel? Why the focus on oil anyways? Why not we develop our other abundant natural resources in each state?

Those protesting have a right to protest. No one can/should ever take that right from them unless they turn the protest into a destructive riot (as happened in the current protest)

But others have a right not to protest that those protesting must respect.

That is the beauty of democracy: the right to choose

And I have been thinking: since not every state participated, in the protest, I guess it is time to break up NLC and TUC into states, after all we are practicing a federal system. Everything must be decentralized.

We want state police, so we must also want state unions, state resources and state everything

That is the essence of a federal system as practiced by the big brother USA (that we all look up to)

Watcha think??

rhymz:
Nchara
Abeg speak fot yourself individually biko. I am igbo and I am very much in solidarity with the strike; matter of fact, I trekked to Yaba to join the protest but unfortunately, I was late.
Make no mistake, choosing to protest is an individual choice and has nothing to do with region or tribe. There are still Yorubas who did not support the strike both at the NA debate and today, at the protest ground. Just like there are Igbos both in the SE/SS who want to protest but do not have the right atmosphere to do so giving the fact that most of the states in the eastern region are PDP controlled states. I was watching most of the contributors today on the fuel subsidy issue on channels TV, many of them were Igbos.

Thanks for representing Igbo. You and millions other Igbos there are protesting in Lagos for us. So we do not need to protest again here. Ndewo, nwanna.

sheyguy:
Nchara, pls get this rite, if Igbos in Lagos r protesting why not the one in Abia? and for those who say they weren't going to protest b4 the restrictiön was ordered. Why restrict them if they av no intention of protesting?
I think someone is trying hard to play some politics here. Let them express themselves, its their right.

You have a right to protest. I can never take that right from you
But I have a right not to protest that you must respect, okay?
Dont be a dumb ass.

Wow!!!!

So this is how Gbawe and the gang of ACN and Buhari thugs wasted their time?
You must return all the bribe money you chop and failed to deliver!!!!

Rhinoceros I asked a pertinent question here. Can you answer it?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-815047.0.html

If you see 100 Igbo armed robbers, you will see 1000 Yoruba armed robbers. This is common knowledge. What do you think all those Yoruba touts do in the Night?

Have you forgotten what happened to the bodies of the 2005 Belview plane crash in Lisa, Ogun state? They were harvested and used for rituals. Do some googling or I can help you do it.

The main difference between Igbo and Yoruba kidnappers is that Igbo kidnappers (and some Yoruba kidnappers too) kidnap the rich to extort them
Many Yoruba kidnappers kidnap the poor and use them for money making rituals.

Rhinoceros
There are as many kidnappers in Yorubaland as there are in Igboland
What does gbomogbomo mean?
Do you want examples? I can supply, you know.

How many Igbos have been kidnapped in Yorubaland?

As for rituals, you are the masters. We only learned from you. Your Obas have to eat human flesh. Don't be dumb.

Yorubas are well represented in Asia. I can go on and on with examples.

Kolawole Michelle, Nigerian national arrested in India with 185 credit cards

A Nigerian national and a Mumbai-based Indian trader have been arrested in the Indian city of Mumbai for allegedly running an international racket of cloning credit cards and using it for shopping on the internet, the city’s Crime Branch officials said yesterday.

Kolawole Michelle from Nigeria and Surjeet Singh from Mumbai were arrested on Saturday with 185 blank credit cards, credit card printer and reader, laptop computer and other equipment used for cloning credit cards, they said.

During interrogation, the accused persons said they had got the cloned credit cards from a gang run by a Nigerian based in Mumbai, which were sent through a local angadia (a form of courier service), police said.

Following a tip-off that two persons, including a Nigerian, were hiding near Sarangpur area, police raided the place and arrested the duo. They have been booked under section 465, 467, 468 (forgery) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 66 and 65 of the Information Technology Act.

Last week, Mumbai’s city crime branch arrested four persons with 53 cloned credit cards of various banks.

NOLLYWOOD ACTOR WAS ARRESTED IN SOUTH DELHI WITH 10 GRAMS OF COCAINE;



One of the Nigerians, who were arrested by Special Cell of Delhi Police 10 days ago for running a cocaine racket in south Delhi, has turned out to be a famous Nigerian actor. According to the police, Akanbi Olamilekan Mohammed (30) revealed during interrogation that he has acted in several movies an d had come to India for a film-making course.

Three people, including two Nigerian nationals, were arrested on March 30 and 122 grams of the contraband were seized from their possession.

“We had first arrested a businessman who told police that Akanbi used to supply cocaine to him. Akanbi was later held with 10 grams of premium quality cocaine from Saket. He told us about his acting career and that he acted in four movies,” said a senior police officer who didn’t want to be named.

Police on Sunday arrested two Nigerian nationals from the upscale Jubilee Hills area in Hyderabad on a charge of drug peddling, and recovered 8 grams of cocaine from them.

Police team raided a place near Durgam Cheruvu main gate and apprehended Sakiry Oladotum Akinsola and Okechnkwu Ohazurike, said Inspector K Narsing Rao.

"The duo was nabbed as they arrived there to deliver cocaine to a customer. Police recovered 8 grams of it from their possession," he said.

Sakiry, who lives in Hyderabad, supplied spare parts to Nigeria. "He himself took cocaine, which he bought from `Jackson', a Ugandan national, Rao said.

Okechnkwu knew some cocaine buyers in the city, and Sakiry gave him a share of profits for getting customers.

I highly doubt that to be true in the US. Do you have any data to back it up?

In areas where Yoruba pre-dominate, yes, you'll hear of more incidents involving them.

But in areas where Igbos pre-dominate, you'll hear of incidents. And given that the population of the latter is higher than that of the former in the US. . .

In Asia, 90% of the time when you hear of a Nigerian being executed or jailed it will be an Igbo (least, this is my impression based on any crime-related articles I hear about from there)

Most Igbos in the US are decent. Take that to the bank. In Asia you are right but like I said Yorubas are also there. Watch an example. I can get more.

ekt_bear:
UK yes. Parts of the US where Yoruba are more, yes. But California and Texas, mostly Igbos

Could be true but in Asia too Yorubas have joined and their numbers are growing.
Overall, more Yorubas in US prisons, one even for terrorism
