If you want to know what bias means, consider that two days ago, when the fake news came that Chicago State University refused to authenticate Tinubu's degree, many journalists and influencers jumped on it. But today, after Chicago State University verified Tinubu's attendance, and graduation and explained that they could only authenticate his records if he gave his permission or if compelled to by a court, those same journalists and influencers pretended not to see the story. It is essential for our media to publish their findings, not their opinions!

Former Anambra Governor Peter Obi made so many sweet talks on the Platform but these are some of the things he failed to tell gullible Nigerians as captured by a social commentator, Emeka Odionu.

Its not possible to extradite Simon Ekpa, no European country ever extradites its own citizen to a country like Nigeria that has bad human rights record, and Simon Ekpa is a citizen of Finland

IGBOs have so much finished you on Nairaland, that is why you cry on IGBO matters everyday.

If FG is sincere about fighting insecurity in SE, Ekpa should have Ben extradited since.

A coalition of Nigerian civil society groups, led by Rising Up for a United Nigeria (RUN) and the National Youth Council of Nigeria, has urged the Federal Government to employ all diplomatic measures to secure the extradition and prosecution of Barr. Simon Ekpa from Finland.

During a press conference held in Abuja on Monday, the group alleged that Ekpa has financed numerous acts of terrorism, thereby exacerbating the instability in Southeastern Nigeria.

Solomon Adodo, the President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, who read the statement on behalf of the coalition, said, “Mr Ekpa has sponsored so many acts of terrorism, directed from his safe haven and base in Finland against Southeastern Nigeria. He is an alleged criminal and his merchandise is in terrorism, setting the foundation for the crippling of the Southeast and adding to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s travails.”

The coalition also expressed deep disenchantment at the ongoing tensions and loss of life in the Southeastern States, drawing parallels to the Boko Haram terrorism in the Northeast.

“The signs and trappings of the Boko Haram terrorism have sadly become evident in the tragic developments in the Southeast,” Adodo added.

The group criticized the enforced Sit-at-Home order by IPOB, stating it has crippled the economy of the Southeast, with businesses folding up and investors and tourists avoiding the region.

They commended the efforts of stakeholders to end the policy, urging them not to relent until the zone is freed from the stranglehold of criminals masquerading as freedom campaigners.

The group expressed its concern over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s recent announcement of an Economic Empowerment Day (EED), viewing it as a veiled threat to the Nigerian state.

The coalition warned that such activities have the potential to escalate into another security crisis in the region.

“This veiled aggression must therefore be nipped in the bud even before its seeds of discord are planted,” Adodo warned.

Finally, the coalition commended the Federal Government for observing the due process concerning Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s matter.

However, it expressed dismay that Kanu’s visitors now serve as couriers to pass messages that run parallel to constituted government authority.


The coalition urged the government to expedite action in resolving Nnamdi Kanu’s situation to address the security crises in the Southeast.

The group concluded by restating their commitment to a peaceful, united, and progressive Nigeria. They also pledged to make their positions known to the United Nations and other international bodies.

Other civil society groups and activists represented at the briefing include: Prince Danesi Momoh, Convener of Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiative; Mazi Chukwudi Oluoha, Southeast Peace and Development Initiative; Zainab Sule, Northcentral Representative of Rising-Up for a United Nigeria; Comr. Stephen Eriba, President of Independent Public Service Accountability Watch; Mall. Abdulkadir Shuaibu, President of Arewa Youth Patriotic Front; Barr. Aniekeme Obot, Southsouth Representative of Rising-Up for a United Nigeria; and Comr. Victory Ameh, Representative of Guardians of Democracy and Development.

As small as this JAMB controversy involving 19 year old Mmesoma Ejikeme looks, it could have triggered in Nigeria the type of ethnic and religious violence now raging in France if the genuine highest scorer was not also an Igbo from Anambra.

The way and manner prominent people like Oby Ezekwesili and others made it about ethnicity when it was really about criminality could have set our beloved country on fire.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether that was the real plan all along. Because this unnecessary storm in a teacup happened a day after a prominent celebrity asked Nigerian youths to rise and bring down the system, just as 9% of France is currently doing.

And before that, there had been several gaslights to trigger ethnic violence, from the false allegation regarding demolitions targeted at Igbos in Lagos to the claim that the new Chief of Naval Staff is a non-Igbo speaking Enugu to Oby Ezekwesili falsely accusing Lagosians of "ethnic baiting" against Igbos.

Is someone trying to trigger something because they are not happy about the outcome of the #NigerianElections2023?

Imagine if the real highest scorer was from the North or Southwest. It could have triggered ethnic unrest that would have made #EndSARS look like child's play. I call on the DSS to thoroughly investigate those behind the forged results and bring them to book as a warning to others who would want to gaslight Nigerians using ethnicity and religion.

Tomorrow when soludo comes out with ambition to be president, they will remind us about how handsome he is, how he became a professor in his 30s and how he’s Nigeria’s best ever. But for now according to them he’s Anambra worst governor. Same pattern, so predictable lol

piggyyeasterner:
those unfortunate beings from that side are not normal

mrvitalis:
Same people saying igbos should run for presidency 2023 are same people shouting PDP won't give igbos the ticket

If igbos want pdp ticket there is nothing under the sun that can stop that

Everyone deeps down knows that among all the options we have obi is the best option

But hatred for where he comes from wont make them vote him

Personally I won't want an igbo man to suffer after buhari ...the economy would be so messed up ..the president that would come next would face so much hate
