buckeyemedia: God forbid, so people like you are want will make up your disillusioned Biafra? Your heart is too dark for a closet coward, no wonder you can’t prosper in life & using the excuse of Biafra as pretense?
Prosper you say? Lol....you are a joke. Obviously you are a kid, or you are a norther,cos if not, common sense would have told you that igbos are the most prosperous people on the face of earth.
And place do your findings, that guy must have been used as a sacrificial lamb in the BH battle field. This is not the first or second time this is happening.
I can tell you know nothing about your military. Gullible!!
PrinceOfLagos: I will never support the killing of innocent people but please , the ESN and UGM should shealth their swords .
If Namdi Kanu is really serious about this freedom he so wants to have , then he should come back home and fight for it.
I got friends in Imo and Enugu and their safety gives me concern .
Same goes for Buhari, if he is really serious about killing BH he should lead the war himself. Afterall the late Chadian president did it not once not twice, same goes for Jordan King who led the team of bomber air fighters to raid ISIS when a Jordan citizen was executed by ISIS on live video. Buhari should lead by example.
joeluv: That’s the way IPOB insults anyone that has a different view. Very intolerant lots. Is that how u plan to run your country? Who the hell woud want to be in a country with gutter mouthed people like u.
I do, it is far better than your safe heaven called Nigeria.

BluntCrazeMan: CONSTITUTION REVIEW HEARING: WHAT WOULD YOU WANT REVIEWED IN THE CONSTITUTION?
The Senate Zonal Public Hearing on the Constitution Review Comes up Today (26th May 2021) and Tomorrow (27th May 2017) in two centres each across the Six Geo-political Zones in Nigeria. The Public Hearing would happen simultaneously in all these 12 centres between 10am and 5pm, both today and tomorrow. These Centres are listed below:
I. North-Central 1 - Jos Centre (Plateau, Nasaraws and Benue)
2. North-Central 2 - Minna Centre (Niger. Kwara, Kogi and FCT)
3. North-East 1 - Bauchi Centre (Bauchi, Yobe and Borno)
4. North-East 2 - Gombe Centre (Gombe, Tarnba and Adamawa)
5. North-West 1 - Kaduna Centre (Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa and Katsina)
6. North-West 2 - Sokoto Centre (Sokoto. Kebbi and Zamfara)
7. South-East 1 - Owerri Centre (Imo and Abia)
8. South-East 2 - Enugu Centre (Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra)
9. South-South 1 - Asaba Centre (Delta, Edo and Bayelsa)
10. South-South 2 - Port Harcourt Centre (Rivers. Cross River and Akwa-Ibom)
11. South-West 1 - Lagos Centre (Lagos, Oyo and Ogun)
12. South-West 2 - Akure Centre (Osun and Ondo). .. .. In as much as many Well-Meaning Nigerians would have wanted to be there at the hearing, the painful truth is that they may not end up being there in the end. And since there are no alternative online/virtual means for citizens to contribute to the hearing, it then means that the reviews that these well-meaning Nigerians have in their minds for which they couldn't get themselves to the venues of the hearing in order to contribute, may end up remaining with them forever. .. Nevertheless, I earnestly hope that those persons who finally made it to the venues of the hearing would point out “Many” of those issues which the supposed “absentees” were having in their minds. .. For me, - and that is, speaking for myself - I would be very happy if these issues I am listing here below are reviewed (or added to the Constitution):
1. “Independent Candidacy In Elections”. Let it not be a compulsory factor that a candidate must come from a political party.
2. “Electronic Voting”. Let the options for electronic technologies be allowed in our elections, and let the options allowed not be restricted or specifically mentioned, this is because, as technology continues to advance, better technological options may become available.
3. “Expanding the Conditions and Options for the use of REFERENDUMS”. Referendums at the moment (according to the current Constitution) can only be used when there is need for the creation of a new State or LGA or to adjust the boundaries of existing States or LGAs. It can also be used when a legislative member is to be recalled by the constituents who voted him/her. That is a very shallow and a very narrow use of Referendums in Nigeria. Provisions should be made to expand the use of Referendums. A full section should be included in the Constitution about Referendums; and it should be in such a way that the Legislature Calls for it in order for it to be used to decide some important national issues, and then the Executive Council Approves it, and finally the Electoral Body Conducts it.
4. “Separation of the Local Police, State Police, Regional Police, and Federal Police”. This one is simple. No much explanations are needed. Or alternatively, let all policemen be posted back to their Local-Government-Areas. (Police is not Military. Police is mainly for maintaining the internal peace and order, and this should be done with the use of Minimum Force. When the case gets bigger than the use of Minimum Force, then a Tactical Team should be deployed. Policemen shouldn't be moving around with deadly weapons).
5. “Total reformation of the Police Force”. All the functions and operations of the Police Force should be boldly stated inside the Constitution. Where their powers began and where they ended should also be included. For instance, the use of firearms should be highly restricted for the police. Also, police should stop operating as if they are military men.
6. “Total reformation of the Military”. All the functions of the Military should be boldly stated inside the Constitution. Where their powers began and where they ended should also be included. For instance, the military should not be seen anyhow in the cities and on the highways as if they are Policemen. The Military functions are totally different from Police Functions. Let it clearly stated that Military can only be seen at places where there is serious unrest, or at places where there is total breakdown of peace and order. ... I think these are all that I can say for now. If I remember others, I can add them in the comments below. .. YOU ARE ALSO FREE TO ADD YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS BELOW..
Irrelevant shii. If they won't include provision for a referendum, they should forget it.
CilicMarin: Police arrest suspected gunmen kingpin (Blood) in Ebonyi:
On the 20/05/2021, following Intelligence report, One Eluu Ekpehu Emmanuel was arrested, leading to arrest of their gang leader popularly known as "Blood" alleged to have been terrorizing the area and the master minder of the various attacks on three Police Divisional Headquarters in the area, namely Onicha, Abaomege and Ohaozara.
Blood was apprehended with gunshot injuries and the following items recovered;
1 Double Barrel English Gun, with eleven live cartridges. 1 Locally made Single Gun. 1 Riot Police Smoke Gunner, stolen from Ohaozara Police Divisional Headquarters when the division was attacked and on the 6th May, 2021. 3 Police Bartons 1 Hand Grenade 1 Canister of Teargas 2 Police Belts 2 Police Radio Communication Handset with Chargers, all Stolen from from Onicha Divisional Headquarters which was also attacked and set ablaze on 4th Feb. 2021. 4 Biafra Flag and 1 Juju Box.
The suspect later gave up the ghost at the hospital.
Simplyleo: Since the death of COAS in a plane crash, several conspiracy theories have emerged and still emerging.
Also, meanings are being read to Buhari's absence in the burial of the late COAS.
The question now is; why exactly was GEJ absent from the burial of Yaradua? Was GEJ quarreling with Yaradua or he was simply heartless?
Here is the the reason.
But he was there 30 minutes after yusuf had an accident with the bike. I smell fish, this whole thing is very fishy.
On Mr President's absence yesterday at his COAS's burial? The most reasonable, and I dare say, most incontrovertible answer is this: ��
For a President to be at any funeral or event outside the presidential villa, it must have at least 48 hours for intelligence operatives to do surveillance and clearance before the President can go based on the Security report.
In a case where the COAS and his team died yesterday and had to be hurriedly buried today, you don't expect the President to go there where there is no security clearance.
The minimum time of 48 hours wasn't met. In insecurity parlance, funeral ceremonies are where politically exposed persons face more risks.
GEJ could attend Azazi’s burial because it wasn't done within 24 hours.
Security issues and securing the president are not done by emotions or sentiments. There’re laid down procedures that must be followed.
Copied!
ME: Remember that Jonathan didn't also attend Yaaradu's burial which came within 24 hours of his taking oath of office. Jonathan wasn't quarrelling with Yar'Adua; must be because of the same protocols.
ablejesus26: First and foremost,it's not every seccessionist in Igboland that fancies ipob and their mode of operations. Yes ipob has the center stage but they are not the only seccessionist group. The Esn is a fine Initiative that shames the Eastern leaders,but you can't change the reality that so long as they are tagged to ipob, picking up arms makes them a militant sect. They don't carry the mandate of Igbo, bcus it's a creation by and from a sect of Igbo descent. Who and who was represented in the creation of Esn, or are we now under the govt of ipob that they will make decisions for Igboland??
The FG is shameless and everyone knows that they are very nepotistically charged when they deal with matters regarding Igboland. Ipob should stop dragging them into our midst bcus in the end the common man suffers most.
I am a seccessionist by heart. I will sign my yes when the time for a referendum comes. But I do not stand by any group or persons that will keep putting Igboland in unrest.
There are more middle men in the SouthEast than people in seccessionist groups,let's put them into concentration when making decisions.
First, you lost me when you said "They don't carry the mandate of Igbo." I looked a little shocked, but not surprised cos I doubt you have lived in the east. I mean...have you seen IPOB rally before? Cos if you have, they you will understand that they are made up of not less than 5000 men, women, and children. And have you seen the so-called gathering by Ohaneze Ndi Igbo? Baba...IPOB is Igbo people and Igbo people are IPOB.
And you asked who where consulted before creating the ESN? Guy... just take a look at the 5 Eastern governors, that's where you get to find out what the word USELESS really means. Are they the same people you are waiting to sign an approval before you save yourself from an invader that is bent on taking over your land, killing and raping women? Is it the drunkard from Anambra, or the supreme Court Fulani slave in Imo, or or the loyal idiot that thinks they will pick him for VP position in 2023? They are all useless.
The responsibile ones are underground, they were the ones that gave approval for such move. And if you think that NK works alone, then you are making a mistake. Igbo elders are fully involved, but the more you do it underground, the better your chances living to see tomorrow.
My brother, ESN and IPOB are doing a great job, any responsible igboman should suppothem in any way possible. Forget the UGM rubbish, that's DSS cheap blackmail. We know them, we know what they can do. So...na so I see em oo
ablejesus26: No every Igboman is Massob. Or don't you know the meaning of Massob??. This news is just an over excavated war propaganda. Yes there was air movements but no such thing as air strikes. It would have been good enough if the army has the sensible intelligence to gp after the bloody killers they are looking for and their sponsors.
This is why I always stand against that fraud ipob. Trouble is all they dish out. Now the innocent will live in fear bcus of the senseless actions of creating a militant group by ipob.
Still getting all wrong. IPOB is an umbrella group of all igbos who want secession, and there nothing wrong with a part of a country seceeding from their original colony.
It is still a surprise why and the Nigerian government is making it look like a crime. If you are talking g about ESN, they are just their to protect the igbo territories which are almost outrun by Fulani terrorist, you and I know this.
So, why and who exactly is the army fighting? Why killing unarmed civilians and burning houses in Eastern villages? Where has IPOB, massob, or ESN bombed since there inception? As for the unknown gunmen, you and I also know that this looks like the handiwork of the DSS.
They have done it before during the EndSARS, and they are doing it again. The army should go to sambisa, that's where they are needed.
johnmartus: I'm not supporting the killing of igbo people I only happy and celebrate whenever our gallant soldiers killed ipob terrorist just normal way we celebrate the death of bokoharam.
Oha stop confusing yourself, do you even know the meaning of IPOB? Every igbo man, woman, and child is Ipob. So if you are celebrating it, then you are celebrating a genocide. Tell your president there are no terrorist in the east, you guys should leave us alone. Go to sambisa, that's where the enemies are.
