Buhari's nightmare

You can say that again.

post=60619419:
what you posted external debt from 2011 to 2017, Anambra is least most indebted state in Nigeria under Gov Obinao, Anambra state was only state in southeast that wasn't bailed-out by FG.

So a state whose foreign debt moves from less than $30M under Obi to $85M under Obiano didn't take a plunge? I'm comparing Anambra's debt under Obiano to Anambra's debt under Obi not Anambra vs Lagos or Imo. Let's be guided.

globemoney:
No trouble looming ignore fake news from peter obi goons like nwabobo

NBS is now controlled by Peter Obi?

Dude, your level of intelligence suggests you are from Yobe state, are you?

globemoney:
Yes, healthy debt is welcome, the people are feeling the impact, now, what legacy project did peter obi leave after 8 years, No salary increase, no workers employment, no civil service promotion, what indeed did the soft spoken criminal do with Anambra money

Bros I've been very busy lately when I have time for you and Obiano, you'd know.

.

External debt now $85.4M. Where are Obiano's vuvuzelas?

Foreign and domestic debt.

And you know what your brothers that are everywhere doing to bring shame to Nigeria and Nigerians?

Nothing brings shame to Nigeria and Nigerians more than this.

newspaper Report as evidence LOL

All evidence is valid.

ThatCEO:
You guys are really taking this Nnamdi kanu like a big deal.

I miss Kanu simply because I enjoyed reading through the gullibility of his followers.

Most people knew d nigga won't last but he was able to brainwash a sizeable portion of the Eastern youths, n 4 that, he deserves some good credit.

And you think he's no longer an issue? You need to think again.

tballeyy:
other tribe will be talking useless igbo too will wan to contribute, who know u clueless igbo in abroad like yoruba in d world

This is what yip get when contraceptives fail.

Apart from the UK and US, where else do you have Yorubas in large numbers? Have you ever seen a Yoruba man pick up his bag and travel to a country where he knows nobody to hustle? Have you ever seen a Yoruba man relocate to a country where he has no aunty, uncle, sister or brother?

Buhari on his way to New York while his ADC carries the load of evidence he has gathered to present to world leaders against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB on why they should be declared a terrorist organisation.

Afam4eva:
Watch how this thread zooms to the frontpage even though it's false.

To paint a false narrative that Ndigbo are receptive of Buhari.

Genuine pics of Ndigbo marching will be released tomorrow.

Some people are against the labelling of Indigenous People of Biafra a terrorist group simply because the government is yet to do same for "suspected" Fulani herdsmen that have been causing havoc in parts of the country. But I disagree with such line of thought.

There is no need to be emotional about this subject, people should familiarise themselves with Nigeria Antiterrorism (Protection) Act to see what constitute terrorism, so as to properly appreciate the situation.

IPOB is a terrorist group when you consider the conducts and deeds of their leader Mr Nnamdi Kanu and the group itself and juxtapose them with what constitute terrorism according to the Act. Their conducts contravenes Section 2b and 2c of the Nigeria Antiterrorism (Protection) Act 2011.

That IPOB is classified a terrorist organisation does not in anyway justify the atrocities of the suspected herdsmen.

The problem with that of the suspected herdsmen is that the "herdsmen" is a term for people in the business of cattle rearing and you can't classify those in the line of business as terrorists, you can't even classify MACBAN/Miyetti Allah as such because the association itself does not "openly" support the evil act perpetrated by some of the members as alleged unlike IPOB. Some of them even argued that cattle rustlers not herdsmen are behind the evil attributed to them.

Also, you can't classify "Fulani" a terrorist group because Fulani is a tribe irrespective of the ethnic group of the alleged perpetrators of the heinous crime, same way Igbo wasn't classified terrorists but IPOB despite IPOB members being predominantly Igbo.

Personally, I classify suspected herdsmen that engage in killing of innocent Nigerians as "terrorists" masquerading as herdsmen but I refused to classify the herdsmen itself as terrorists as doing so would be unfair to law abiding people that are engaged in that line of business. Same way it is absolutely wrong for anybody to credit the irresponsible deeds of IPOB group to Igbo tribe or the entire Biafra apologists- we all know that there are thousands of Biafra apologists that doesn't subscribe to the IPOB ideology and it will be of great disservice to humanity and unfair to them to rope them in for what they neither subscribed to nor encouraged.

This is not a matter of sentiment let us be guided and embrace peaceful coexistence and even if "we" want out, there are legitimate and proper route to follow because self determination is the right of all.






May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

Inigenous people of Biafra is also not an organisation but thevremanahts of those from the region hitherto known as Biafra who survived the war and their offsprings.

TonyeBarcanista:
army did not declare IPOB terrorists, it was only a 'pronouncement'...

How market?

When are you going back to PDP?

Queenlovely:
I must confess I dont know the section to post this. But I have a serious question I must ask.
Is it necessary to have a house in the village when you spend most of your life outside the village? My uncles hardly visit their mansions in the village. Other people are just occupying the property. They only come back once in a blue moon. They can just breeze in and breeze out tomorrow.
My question now is, is it not better to have that mansion in the city, than rent an apartment in the city. You are a tenant in the city in one poor make-shift house, but own a duplex in the village that is empty. Is it even economically wise? It baffles logic and common sense. Dont give me that shity excuse about Home town and burial.

He must be Igbo I guess.

My sister, during the war when Ndigbo returned in droves to their villages, some did not have a place of their own to lay their heads despite having mansions in the cities. After the war, a lit of those properties in the cities were lost to the indigenous of those cities who claimed them as abandoned properties.

Since after the war, the average Igbo man makes sure they build their first house in their village so that if something happens, they know they won't lose it and also have a place to run back to.

Published on September 18, 2017 By Wale Odunsi

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Nigerian government and military of withholding details on the whereabouts of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group said it was convinced that Kanu may have been killed, lamenting that he has not been seen or heard, days after troops stormed his residence.


This is contained in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful on Monday.

It reads: “IPOB and it’s leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the notice of the whole world that the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents are still unknown to mankind since the attack in his compound last week.

“IPOB have been searching for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents no where to be found since last week, we are challenging the Nigerian army and police to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi since it is a prerogative right for him to make statement inform his confidants and teeming members all over the world about his condition.

“For the army systematic withdrawal and deployment of police and the posting of police to every strategic places around his compound and the entire community proves that the Nigerian government knows the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whether he is alive or dead because the army have done the job they were sent to do by picking Nnamdi Kanu, men and women of good conscience across the globe to prevail on Nigerian government and her security operatives especially the Nigerian army with the South East governors to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before it is too late, because we have gone so deep in search for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu no where to be found.


“Since last week attack and onslaught against Kanu’s compound at Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia Abia State no eye have ever seen Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the IPOB leader. We also ask the world to tell Nigerian government if they arrested our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents or killed they should tell the world and Biafrans.

“It is high time the whole world ask questions about Nnamdi Kanu’ whereabouts because Kanu’s family were inside the compound during the attack. We also observed that during the and heavy high handedness on Nnamdi Kanu’ family about 22 IPOB members were killed and their dead bodies were taking away by Nigerian army and police officers who were drafted for the attack.

“We cannot ascertain where IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents are since then. We are worried how Nigerian army and police officers drafted to carry out this heinous crime would carry out would pick up our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents during the onslaught without making it open and they are still keeping quiet and mute over the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents up till this time.

“We were made to understand on the newspaper publications that the order before coming for the attack was to get Nnamdi Kanu alive or dead, we ask if they have assassinated him with his parents they must let the whole world know about it and stop keeping quiet over the life of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


“It is worrisome for the Nigerian army and police to came to unleash attack on our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has been on bail without getting permission from the federal high court that has been handling the case in Abuja.

“The court granted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu bail on 25th April 2017 since then Nnamdi Kanu has never traveled out Nigeria or hide for any reason rather he was busy organising his people for upcoming referendum and court case in Abuja on 17th April 2017 which must hold for Biafra freedom no matter what the Nigerian government and her security operatives and few politicians do to intimidate our people.

“We all are aware that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a fearless human being and determine to restore Biafra and he has already promised the Nigerian government during the peaceful rallies at Ekwulobia and Aba that he will be in court on 17th October 2017 with over two million members of IPOB and Biafrans on that 17th day of October 2017 for the hearing of the case between IPOB and Nigerian government.


“As it is today, we observed that the Hausa fulani dominated security operatives have living up to their threats by taking our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu down to kaduna or kano prison where nobody can hear or know anything from him, if he still alive.”

This is certainly not Emma Powerful's grammar. Nice propaganda on their part though if it is.

DickDastardLION:
They have erased the mack. Few will get my drift. Kanu is cold already. Python dance is basically to forestall any riotous outcome.

Keep deluding yourself.

nwabobo:
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai on Monday evening stated that the Defence Headquarters did not declare the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB a terrorist organization in the country.

Speaking during the official launch of Operation Python Dance II in Abakaliki, the Army Chief who argued that what the Defence Headquarters did was a pronouncement on IPOB added that the statement of the military gave room for the right steps to be taken on the matter.

According to Buratai, the action of the Federal government concerning IPOB was right and that the military did not over step its bound towards the protection of lives and properties in the country.

“You have to get it very clear. First of all, what the Defence Headquarters did was to make pronouncement. It wasn’t a declaration per se. But this has given room for the right step to be taken. I think the government is doing the right thing.

“It is not that we are overstepping our bounds. We are still within the limits. And I ensure you that what the military said was to set the ball rolling and to bring the awareness to the public that this is what this organization is all about. I’m happy that the government has done the right thing right now.”

General Tukur Buratai further assured the people of the Southeast that the Army will abide by the rule of law and rules of engagement in carrying out the Exercise Egwu Eke II which kicked off on Saturday in the region.

Also during a courtesy to Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe, the Chief of Army Staff noted that the exercise was targeted at improving the security situation of the zone which according to him, was very strategic to the security of the country.

According to him the exercise will help to bring about the much needed peace and security and also be used to train the Military in basic internal security.

“They army have taken into cognizance the security of the people in deployment of it’s personnel for the operation”.

He said the army in carrying out the operation will liaise and work with other security agencies in the region.

“The army is very sensitive to the cultural norms of the people and will abide by all the rules of engagement and code of conduct that have been laid down which is quite in tandem with the Constitution,” he said.

According to him, some of the activities of the exercise will include Patrols, indoor battle exercises, Civil-Military cooperation activities like medical outreach, sanitation, donation of books to schools etc.

He therefore appealed for understanding as it is just an exercise to help improve security of lives and property within the zone.

Governor Umahi promised that the people of the state will cooperate with the army throughout the duration of the exercise.

He noted that the first edition of the operation last year was peaceful and successful and urged the military to carry out the exercise with high sense of discipline that the Nigerian Military is known for.

He urged the Military to pay more attention to the state’s border with Cross River while carrying out the exercise which he said have been decimated by boundary clashes.

omenka:
Good morning.

History, I always say, has a way of redressing the conduct of the present, and as Nigerians, we sure have as much history as one can possibly care for, especially as it relates to politics.

Some of us have been around long enough to know that the cries of those who seem frustrated by the positions we've chosen to take as regards the ongoing clampdown on the terrorist organization, IPOB, deserve no consolation.

We have a good memory of recent history and will always share that memory to the benefit of those with either short memory or those who are genuinely ignorant of where we are coming from.

Before I proceed, I'd like to remind us that we know just about every single individual who supports Kanu and IPOB is either a supporter of Jonathan, or at least, sympathetic to PDP. There's no denying that fact. Their comments to this day on national issues bear credence to that.

So, we were here just over two years ago, during the final sprint to the general election, when news reached us the residence of BAT was being monitored by soldiers stationed just meters away. The politician had not been charged with any offence to warrant such surveillance, neither did he pose any threat to national security. His only offence then, as we all know it, was that he posed a threat to Jonathan's victory in the forth coming elections.

Events were reported as follows.. (just excerpts)


https://www.nairaland.com/2140496/30-soldiers-monitor-tinubus-ikoyi

Now, for those who appear, today, to be great advocates of human rights and the need not to deploy the military into civilian populated areas, especially when such a place had been relatively peaceful, here were their comments then..

Remember, neither Tinubus residence nor his street was experiencing any sort of security problems or restiveness. It was as calm and quiet as can be.

Follow me.. .

Our very own Dickdastardly found it humorous and says..



This dude here says Tinubu is a criminal and that necessitated the deployment. Guess what, this comment garnered 131 likes!


This guy took it to the next level..






Of course Firefire came to party as well.. He posted this, accompanied with a mocking picture..




Firefire again. Tinubu he says, is an enemy of the state!


Someone who's had their account deactivated says this..











This one says the president should be commended for so doing..




This one who's deactivated jeers at Tinubu saying he hid under his bed..




One might wanna ask the Chucks guy below why Abians weren't happy with the extra security.. .




This guy here bared it all!


At the risk of sounding verbose, i'd stop here. There are tons of such comments applauding the deployment of those troops to Tinubu's house as the thread ran eleven pages!

Now, take these comments and place them side by side those we see today, you then understand where some of us are coming from.

They say "karma would visit us" and I tell them, that is exactly what they are enjoying!

We don't forget folks. We don't.

Have a productive week ahead and say no to terrorism.

God bless Nigeria and all those who bless her.

Military siege with no Pictures of the siege. We asked for pictures then but git none.

Have you got one now? Even a photoshopped one will do, thanks.

Was the Ohaneze president before the last one not from Anioma?

Cacawa2:
In June 2013, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan proscribed Boko Haram as a terrorist Organisation. This, he did, without any recourse to the High Court as most people would expect; and reasonably so.

There are two sections in the TPA act that may be deployed into making such declarations: Section 2 and; Section 9.



The TPA act makes provision for the declaration of a group as being a Terrorist group on a number of grounds.

It is very easy to refer to[b] Section 2 of the act[/b] which makes provision for a process that involves judicial processes, procedures and pronouncement. Most applicable to local terrorism.

However [b]Section 9 of the act[/b]makes express approval for the executive arm to immediately declare a group as a Terrorist group. This is specifically in relation to international affiliations and sponsorship.

In the case of IPOB, there is reliable Intel available to the Nigerian Army suggesting the foreign links and backings of IPOB to certain international terrorism networks.

The move by the Nigerian Govt. is therefore in order and can only be upturned by any aggrieved person who takes the matter to a court of competent jurisdiction. In the mean time, the declaration remains in full force and anybody (either physically or over the internet), found to be soliciting for a terrorist group may be found culpable.

Let us be enlightened.

Regards,

CACAWA2
