PoliticsRe: Imo, Uzodinma Under Attack By Enemies – APC by obailala(m): 7:07am On Apr 27, 2021
OdumegwuOjukwu:
All the politicians are disgruntled, and many of them are criminal. All I'm saying is that rather than they burn down the state, Hope Uzodinma, who is currently unable to run the state should resign for peace to reign. This is especially the case since his position as governor cannot be explained by any meaningful logic. If he had problem with other politician in Imo State, he should settle it with them. For goodness sake, he's not the first politician that will have problem with other politician in Imo State, let alone in Nigeria. What is his security vote for? To buy Rolls Royce?

Don't forget also that he has blood on his hand. His invitation of the military against IPOB/ESN in the state is also part of the problem. Even if Imo State doesn't have herdsmen crisis, what is wrong in preparing? Wasn't the case that it is the unprepared state that are suffering? What exactly is Hope Uzodinma's contribution to Imo State security other than inviting military to terrorize the state? Uzodinma's action is the cause of insecurity in the state, directly or indirectly. Dude is just going about making enemies all over the places.

I repeat my call that Hope Uzodinma, the Ogboso 1 of Imo State should resign for peace to reign.
If he resigns, that would set a very dangerous precedence, not just in the south-east, but across Nigeria. What happens next will simply be, once politicians in a state dont like the governor, they pay masked thugs to go about unleashing anarchy across the state until the governor resigns. So I'm sorry, Uzodimma resigning isn't a solution to the current problem.

You said he invited military against ESN, but No, what he did was more like inviting the military against paid armed thugs who were already constituting a nuisance on behalf of disgruntled politicians in the state, and of course disguising under the mask of ESN to draw the sympathy of the people (that's all a scam, you're free to swallow it if you want). THe real ESN has been preparing and doing their thing in the shadows in other states, how come it's in Imo they suddenly started showing face publicly if they aren't doubling as political tools?
PoliticsRe: Imo, Uzodinma Under Attack By Enemies – APC by obailala(m): 6:44am On Apr 27, 2021
OdumegwuOjukwu:
The whole incident is sad and scary. Condolences to the bereaved. I hope it ends well and fair to all concerned.

But Hope Uzodinmna is not the face of democracy; if anything his coming to power is nothing but the opposite of democracy. Personally I think he should resign in the interest of the state. He should resign and leave the state to give some semblance of 'victory' to his so called enemy, and perhaps peace will return. I know politicians don't like resigning, but this is the most logical thing to do.

Isn't it better that one man (Hope Uzodinma) is sacrifice than for the whole state to be lost. Or is he going to rule with force; the military at his flanks, always, for next 3 years?
So because one of two disgruntled criminal politicians are unhappy with Uzodimma, they unleash violent thugs all over the state to go about shooting sporadically, killing security personnel and innocent people under the guise of ESN or Unknown Gunmen (UGM), and then your solution to the madness is for the governor to resign? Isnt that exactly what the sponsors of the mayhem in Imo want to happen? And if the governor resigns, hasn't that set a very unpleasant precedent for politicians to repeat same in other states?

I shake my head at the ignorance of the people applauding the nonsense going on in Imo, thinking it has anything to do with IPOb or Fulani herdsmen, whereas it's purely just anti-APC / anti-Uzodimma sentiments at play. Fulani herdsmen have attacked every other state of the south east, but there's not a single record of herdsmen attacks in Imo. How come the ESN or UGM that's meant to be fighting killer herdsmen has chosen a peaceful eventless Imo state as the epicentre of their activities?

Of course we wouldn't notice the flawed logic in these trends because sentimentally, we hate Uzodimma.

You don’t know how to swim u jumped into a river to save a girl, very sure u would not do that for a fellow man? At last girl was rescued, Nigger drowned, many Yoruba men are better simps..
There's no way he would have jumped in the water if he didnt know how to swim. But being able to swim isn't the same thing as being able to rescue a drowning person; rescuing a drowning person takes much more skill and experience, but so many people (even good swimmers) don't know this.

Hmmm..... I guess he didn't know how to swim... hit something in the water and got knocked out... or got sucked down by under currents. People do spring into action in such situations without thinking of the dangers. R.I.P
AsherAmari:
What made him think he could do that without a safety vest or some safety kit? Huh.

Please, people should always think before acting. I know he meant well but he could have just waited for the rescue team to do their job which they eventually did. So sad.

May God give the parents the fortitude to bear the loss.
One thing I know for sure is, there's absolutely no way in the world he would have jumped into that river if he didnt know how to swim. But something a lot of people sadly do not know is that being able to swim is totally different from being able to save a drowning person. Saving a drowning person requires a whole different level of skill and experience.

This is actually a very sad story to hear, RIP to him.
Christianity EtcRe: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by obailala(m): 10:08am On Apr 25, 2021
obonujoker:
Are you smoking to glorify God, or to bring more people into God's kingdom?
Lol... If we must be practical and true to ourselves, then we must understand that not everything we do even as Christians must glorify God or bring people into the kingdom.

How exactly does eating meals in a nice restaurant, or watching football or movies, or going on holidays, or playing a game of tennis glorify God? Does that necessarily mean these things annoy God?

The only case against cigarettes is that it has the potential to harm our bodies when consumed in excess. God wouldn't exactly smile at us for harming ourselves intentionally.

I doubt if Mr spells can even handle a smart phone and I don't know of any endorsement or contract he got from anyone

His IG page was handled by some dude who gave him token and ignored him when he runs dry

So how is that a form of help??
Put these sentiments aside, business was conducted and he was paid for his services; no one really owes anyone anything.

The same way we go about with suits and ties looking for an employer to give us a job contract, do you then say the employer 'used and dumped' you after your contract expires? Were you not paid? Would it have been better to remain unemployed and unpaid?

You claim 'he wasnt helped', but No, when someone sees me hungry and gives me a job which pays me, albeit for just a while, that person has helped me. The person isnt my father and cant be expected to keep feeding me for life so we really need to toss these sentiments aside.

Hypocrite? Are you sure you know the meaning of the word you just used? Several people have already explained to you on this thread why the govt had to use the plane of a private individual for that trip/ transaction, but obviously in your bigoted ways, just to fuel and justify your religious intolerance, you chose to believe the FG was arming the military to kill Muslims; that's all you and your folks could interpret from the fight against bokoharam because a Christian president.

Bokoharam members were obviously 'Muslim brothers' to you then cos they engaged mainly in bombing churches. I hope you and your brothers up north are happy with what bokoharam has become, murdering your people in thousands and rendering your region a wasteland. You've even added banditry to it to completely waste yourselves and you support these vampires at every opportunity cos some divisive cleric taught you to believe Christians are your problem.

So the fight against bokoharam terrorists is indeed viewed by northern Muslims as a fight against northern Muslims?... Buying arms for the Nigerian military is interpreted by northern Muslims as a ploy by Christians to exterminate Muslims.

Nigeria is indeed an ireedamably messed up place. Nigeria is truly finished.

The year is not even halfway yet, but we've secured more TECH investment than the whole of last year.

Tech Investors are rushing to Nigeria with their investments, but according to you, Nigeria is not investor-friendly.

grin grin
Nigeria is actually not investor friendly, very far from it... Infact, Nigeria as it is currently is extremely hostile to investors, both local and foreign.

The only reason investors still come to Nigeria despite the harsh environment is because of Nigeria's market power; i.e. there's just so so much money to be made in Nigeria, so some investors brave the odds. Even the twitter guys just said it openly, despite not opening shop in Nigeria (for obvious reasons), their target market is still Nigeria, because of the money to be made.

You talk about tech investments rushing to Nigeria, the summary of my point is, if the Nigerian govt can wake up and do what its meant to do, the influx of those tech companies would multiply in exponential proportions. We are very far from where we should be.

PoliticsRe: Why Sowore Supports IPOB Terrorist Leader Nnamdi Kanu by obailala(m): 5:00pm On Apr 09, 2021
thebosstrevor1:
In 2019, IPOB terrorist leader, Nnamdi Kanu and sowore met in Newyork, the meeting was an alliance between IPOB, Revolution now and Sahara reporters. Nnamdi kanu wants Biafra and Sowore wants a revolution in Nigeria, with the help of sowore Sahara reporters, they can achieve their dreams.

Since that meeting, sowore have published everything favourable about the terrorist group IPOB and everything negative about Nigeria.

Sowore is very smart, he wants revolution, his calculation was simple, he knows that Nnamdi kanu cannot get his biafra while sitting in London and that biafra is unrealistic but for him, as long as ipob can create choas and tension ,the easier for him to get his revolution.

The Endsar was an eye opener, when Nnamdi kanu commanded the destruction of properties through the help of so called influencers, he sowore quickly brought the revolution now project out but it failed because of lack of support.

No matter what, sowore plan is still intact for 2023, Ipob creates the tension he wants, he spreads the tension through Sahara reporters, choas is created all over Nigeria and he can start a nationwide revolution campaign to gain power.
Hmmm... never knew it was IPOB members who conducted ENDSARS protests and also vandalised properties in Lagos and other locations.
PoliticsRe: Owerri Prison Break: Uzodimma Blames 'Known Imo Politicians' (Video) by obailala(m):
This actually makes sense somehow. I've always asked, "why Imo state?"

ESN is meant to protect the southeast against marauding herdsmen. There have never really been any cases of herdsmen attacks in Imo; so why is Imo suddenly the starting point and epicentre of the so called ESN / unknown gunmen activities? How exactly did ESN suddenly lose focus, leave herdsmen and start going after police stations and prisons?

Something tells me the so called 'unknown gunmen' have absolutely nothing to do with ESN but are just armed political thugs playing politics. The current crisis in Imo is just a local ApC vs PDP vs AA, Rochas vs Uzodimma political battle.
PoliticsRe: Gunmen Attack Mbieri Police Station In Imo, Kidnap Policeman, Free Suspects by obailala(m):
Penguin2:
I insist that Uzodimma brought this upon himself.

ESN were a sleeping lion in the bush but you invited soldiers on them.

Reap the fruit of your stupidity Uzodimma.

Meanwhile, why haven't we heard of any herdsmen attack anywhere in Imo state state?

Even herdsmen cannot can grin

They too are scared of Unknown Gunmen.

For those foaming in the mouth that the SE is about to become another NE and that Imo is about to become Borno, I say thunder fire you.

Since all these things started, how many civilian casualties have been recorded? None.

Ndigbo place value on life and can never ever started killing innocent citizens.

The message is simple...

Nigerian Armed forces should dismantle thousands of checkpoints in the Southeast. This place is not a war zone.

You mount roadblocks extorting Igbo peasants and being trigger happy by killing anyone who resists giving you #50.

Enough!

Forever!

If there has to be another war, let there be another war.

If we perish, we perish!
When bokoharam started, they first started as a peaceful sect, attqcking no one. When they eventually began attacks, for several months and even years, they never attacked any innocent civilians, they only attacked police station to station, throwing bombs, chasing policemen away, and freeing prisoners. When they eventually started attacking civilians, they started with Christians and southerners.

We all know how things progressed after northerners kept making silly excused for them; the monster grew wild cos whether North, East, West or South, baby monsters will always grow wild and one day consume their masters.

By the way, Imo state has never really recorded any cases of herdsmen attacks even long before ESN or 'unknown gunmen'. So why on earth is the supposed ESN campaign against herdsmen having Imo state as its centrepoint? Why is ESN flexing muscles by burning police stations around Imo state where there's really no herdsmen menace? Something tells me this is just a local political APC vs PDP vs Rochas gimmick against Uzodimma.

Well, i wouldn't monitor or stalk anyone; I would only apply a little bit of wisdom in my daily activities. E.g. I wouldnt encourage a situation where my friend or even brother goes over to stay with my wife alone in the house repeatedly or for extended periods. If that's what you refer to as 'monitoring my significant other as a child', then oh yes, I will... Not that I dont trust my wife's discipline, or my brother's discipline, but rather because I'm wise enough to know that discipline alone isn't sufficient to prevent certain regretable mishaps. Believing in the strength of your discipline is usually the mother of all f**kups.
