Stankovic22: South east Nigeria which was one of the most peaceful regions in Nigeria is now experiencing one of its worst security crisis since the civil war.
Today, at umuleri in Anambra state, a new sect called Biafra Motherland Warriors (BMW) attacked a security check point and opened fire on the men on ground.
In the video below, the men who spoke in igbo language can be heard pleading with the others to spare igbo officers caught in the gunfire.
NSCDC Anambra command has debunked this. This is not a recent issue. Please we should stop instilling fear in people's minds. South East is calm and peaceful.
amc: There are two different Miyetti Allah associations with different agendas.
Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore on one hand does not support the open grazing ban and are threatening to disobey any law. These are the militant group, always spewing incendiary rhetoric.
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) on the hand hand supports the ban. They are more reasonable and respect the sensitives of the other ethnic groups.
So not all herder associations are in disagreement with the new laws.
The lawless herders are in the minority. They will be biting more than they can chew if they want to go against the whole south. Even some Northern governors like Ganduje have condemned t open grazing. So they should be wise or chose to perish in their foolishness.
futurenix: Someone that has not been able to build a single standard road nor good drainage system is going to destroy people's shop in the name of redevelopment. No single road constructed in that state by that Governor has lasted 4 months without deteriorating.
The flyover that has taken ages is being constructed by bricklayers carrying head pan and mixed cement during their so called flyover construction working hours while states using Julius Berger has done more than 5 flyovers and still counting.
Is it the salary of the workers in the state that he has paid? Some have passed 2 years salary arreas.
You will see him soon contesting as a senator and eventually win whether the people want or not.
I really don't know who can make this nation better by punishing all these failed leaders.
Umuola road is still standing after more than 5 years. Same with Ukaegbu road, MCC road, Dr Chima Nwafor road etc. Please mention 1 road built by OUK in Aba that is still in good use. Starpaper mill road in Aba was abandoned and overtaken by weeds before OVI fixed it.
Granted there are many unattended roads but we cannot deny the fact that Ikpeazu is far better than the 2 governors before him in terms of building standard roads.
RomanGreen: This is absolute madness, wait o ....why am I even sympathetic to this same channels TV that lambasted and heavily criticized IPOB at the behest of the Buhari administration.... Oh I remember now, what goes around, comes around...e don dey reach every body.
I watched the interview of that Naval Commodre, that Yoruba man was simply fearless when he said "that the Buhari administration wants to Islamize Nigeria"
This is something Nnamdi Kanu saw since and has been warning Nigerians yet we choose to condemn him...una eye don clear now abi
The job of a journalist is just to ask questions and he can't be held responsible for the answers as Shehu Sani rightly pointed out... This is simply a warning from Buhari to journalists in Nigeria that there is nothing like freedom of speech not to talk of freedom of questions. All ye brown envelope journalists, have you seen what y'all have caused, y'all should not be afraid of this vegetable in Aso rock, he simply wants to intimidate and silence everyone when they can't stomach the truth. Shame on the zombies still supporting this evil govt.
Is he the first person to raise the alarm? Something sinister is going on. He worked in military for over 30 years. He spoke with authority. An ex deputy CBN governor has said the same thing. These are authorities who operated at top echelon of government.
Sirjamo: I am sorry to say this, but those officers were careless with their own lives. This unfortunate incident could have been avoided if they were vigilant enough, some heads must roll.
As for the fools blaming Buhari for this, do you expect him to personally secure the NDA and every military formations in Nigeria? Please watch Sunrise daily now. You will hear what will shock you.
Some people have the responsibility of securing that place, it's their failure that led to this unfortunate incident.
Godbless3: What is serious? You want to start a conspiracy theory? Before you do, go around all the mutuary and ask how many dead body is brought in on a daily basis and do same with hospital.
koondog: These afonjas at it again, like non stop to destroy Igbo people. They will go and dig up even nonsense, where there is no case or what we call malfeasance or negligence", all to paint Igbos black and fraudulent. And some of you very foolish Igbos don't see the evil these afonjas are doing to you.
Here is what happened: Ibe Kachukwu is a car enthusiast like Dino Maleye. So he bought a classic, very rare car from a private party seller in the UK and didn't know the car was stolen. He received all the papers and subsequently exported the car to US, where he is based. The US Customs ran the VIN upon arrival at the port and discovered it was reported stolen. Kachukwu's defense Lawyer is also suing UK Customs that allowed a stolen car to be exported. Their case is, the UK Customs failed to do it's job or verify the car was reported stolen. They accepted all documents, passed theft clearance, and shipped the car.
Rondrosco: This One Is Too Much Now… TEARS FOR ABIA STATE! EFCC TRACED N551 BILLION TO FORMER GOVERNOR SON'S ACCOUNT, WHO OPERATE OVER 100 BANK ACCOUNTS THIS IS MAN' INHUMANITY TO MAN JUST READ TILL THE END. Graft: Theodore Orji May Toe Same Path As Predecessor. Few months after securing the conviction of a former Abia State governor for corrupt practices, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has opened an investigation into an alleged diversion of N525bn by another ex-governor of the state, Theodore Orji. In a petition dated March 17, 2017, filed by Fight Corruption: Save Nigeria Group, the former governor was accused of receiving and diverting various sums of monies meant for the state’s development. According to the petition, the monies were N383bn revenue from federal accounts, N55bn excess crude revenue, N2.3bn Sure-P, N1.8bn ecological funds, N10.5bn loan from First Bank of Nigeria through the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Local Government Affairs, N4bn loan from Diamond Bank, N12bn Paris Club refund, N2bn agricultural loan for farmers and N55bn Abia State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ASOPADEC). The petitioners alleged that the funds were received by the Abia State government, and nothing commensurate to show for it. Based on the petition, EFCC commenced investigations and discovered that the former governor, who was a Chief of Staff to the convicted ex-governor Orji Kalu, was the Authorising Officer drawing N500m monthly purportedly as Security Vote, which was converted. After becoming governor in 2007, he continued to draw the N500m cash monthly from June 2007 to May 2015. The N500m, investigation revealed, was aside security funds expended on the Nigerian Police, The Nigerian Army, DSS, Navy anti-Kidnapping Squad, anti-robbery Squad, purchase of Security equipment and vehicles for the security agencies. Investigation was extended to his family members to ascertain the link and their culpability in the alleged fraud. The ex-governors first son, Chinedum Orji Eyinanya, who is currently Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, is now a frequent guest at EFCC Headquarters to throw light on his involvement in the fraud. He was with operatives of the Commission last Thursday. A check on his financial activities revealed that he had about 100 accounts in different banks, with over 80 percent of them still very active.

What moral justification does EFCC have for parading small boys with phones and laptops when these men are still roaming about with police escorts?
hybrid11: you called that clean rifle Is like u blind,that rusted iron Russian last used AK-47 was in the 2nd war world like 80years ago and yet Una d trip for m
Bros AK-47 still killing people in Nigeria till tomorrow.
seunmsg: The new PIA just like any other law is not 100% perfect. However, it’s a significant improvement over what we had before. Let’s implement this for a while and observe the shortcomings. We can then amend the law based on the observed shortcomings.
Criticizing the entire law simply because you don’t like Buhari’s face is silly. Jonathan is from the Niger Delta and he was president for about 6 years without passing the law despite having comfortable majority in both houses of the National Assembly.
So, quit the hate and let’s talk about the positives of the law. Host communities getting 3% OPEX of oil companies in the upstream sector is a big deal. This is in addition to the existing 13% derivation, Ministry of Niger Delta and NDDC.
What people from host communities should be worried about now is how the 3% OPEX will be paid. Who are the people that will manage the funds on their behalf? I sincerely hope the funds will not be administered same way NDDC is being administered.
I don't know why the noise all over the place. Why did Obasanjo and GEJ ( who is from SS) not push for the passage of the PIB during their tenure? If they think the bill is not fair, they should move for amendment.
JovialJune: So what I typed na insult? E pain u sotey you no fit type anymore, no be you dey display emotion liedis? Lmao, all talk no substance full here sha.
I am not pained at all. I made my point and have no I'll will towards you. I have also made my observation about your comment and advised you. This is a faceless forum and I expect you respond with decorum to people. Make your points without insults. I hope you don't expect me to continue haggling on this over-flogged topic?
tempest01: After thought image laundering. Whosoever knows this girl or her family should advise them to get a lawyer and not give any statement to the police alone. She is an informant and you did not charge her to court for 2 months?
It is the Igbo leaders I blame for allowing their people to be downgraded without speaking up and taking action.
Lol. Naija police no dey disappoint. Imagine coming out after public outcry to say this of someone in their custody for 2 months?
Righteousness2: The Bible says, a Man shall not put on a woman's Garment neither should a woman put on a man's garment. All that do such are Abomination to GOD.
Eternity is a very Serious Matter! It is a Personal Race so do not let anyone irrespective of title or Position make you miss your place in Eternity.
Nobody will answer or speak for you before GOD.
So Get the Word of GOD ( The Holy Bible) and stick to what it says not what Man thinks.
Heaven is Real Hell is real Don't play with your Eternity
I laugh at this quote. My dear pastor, this is misinterpreted. There are trousers meant for women and those for men. If you doubt me, go and buy women trousers and wear to your church and see if your members will not report you to the GO.
JovialJune: Oh so now I lack emotional intelligence because I referred you back to your village elders, cat got your tongue/hand? No intelligent counter point from you what happen? Thirsty males with low IQ that can't think straight.
Go back and read the first paragraph of your initial response to my comment and you will see more emotions, insults and lack of common sense.
JovialJune: You must be living in a cave if in this 21st century, you think there are no independent single and married women, are men not also looking for emotional support when they go into a relationship or get married? How old are you?
Who started the paying of bride price? Is it not men aka your ancestors? If you want social justice, work on your foundation by going to your villages, sit your elders down and tell them to abolish bride price and the nonsense bride price list before you come here to spill rubbish, after all the bride price is paid to a man, not the woman,
no woman will pay any groom price rubbish cos in the history of the world, women have not, and will not sit down to deliberate on any stupid list or price, till then, any woman that wants to cheat can cheat at her own free will, no particular gender has the exclusive right to cheat.
Please work on your emotions so you can enjoy this life. My little advice for you. My comment is not for people who lack emotional intelligence. You can run along.
SocialJustice: Cheating is no longer the exclusive right of the man.
First ensure paying of bride price is not the exclusive responsibility of men. Work on the foundation if you want social justice. Any woman who pays a man's groom price and foots the wedding bill has absolute and moral right to cheat. The man also has a right to cheat ( since it is free world).
Let's encourage our girls to work hard, be less dependent on men for financial and emotional support so they can be at liberty to cheat as they please.
