Desperately wanting to be seen as a major leader of the EndSARS movement, and hopefully getting a sweetheart deal from the federal government for herself.
We need to know the exact steps that will be taken by government, and at what time those steps will be taken.
They must include, ensuring the army, DSS and other non-Police outfits are not allowed to do the work meant for the police.
Anyone killed, maimed or harrassed by these non-Police actors must be prosecuted with the heaviest consequences of their punishments, swiftly meted out on them
No more killing of IPOB or ODUDUWA peaceful protesters etc Banners and placards are neither guns nor bombs
I know they don't disturb there, but you should show solidarity to those suffering here. This is not politics. This is about human lives.
Erase the argument of SARS stopping armed robbers, they don't do shít, they're only concerned about extorting youths. During lockdown, million boys and other miscreants were robbing people in their homes, where was SARS? When I was robbed a few years ago along Okene - Lokoja road where was SARS? Have you ever seen a gun battle before in Nigeria between police and thieves?
Please let's stop all these #ReformSars rubbish. The simple thing is #Endsars and criminalise their existence afterwards.
Better still we can have a vote to determine the states where it will be implemented and those it won't. I think that's fair enough.
Meanwhile
God bless you for the attachment and your above message. That is real intelligence and superb focus.
The war has not been won, by any stretch of the imagination
I also hope Sowore and his group can tag along and gain traction from what is currently happening
spearman: Do not end the protest. End bad governace. Demand for a new constitution.
You have the power. Take charge of your destiny. The hijackers of your country are in panic. They are on the retreat. Do not let them escape. Nigeria must be reconfigured. Freedom calls.
Obamaofusa: Cowards. It is the norm in the SW for us to protest genuinely and get positive result.
Let me leak this secret,maybe the govt knew,it would have snowballed into a revolution,it would have been bloody but..... Govt did well in acting promptly.
Coming next is.... #Truefederalism or dissolveNigeria#
SW almajiri, we Igbos have been complaining of these also. Just thank Aba, Awka, Asaba and Nnamdi Kanu for messing with Buhari's mind.
The protests don't really need to stop. SARS is not the only unit involved in gross human rights abuses.
DSS, the army etc should all be totally reformed.
If Sowore knows his onions, this is the time to take advantage of this movement to advance his cause. REVOLUTIONNOW.
I'm sure Kanu and his group will be more likely to help him out there, as it is more of a total overhauling of the system
I can assure you that its his own personal View and not the view of every Igbo man.
Sometimes, it will be wiser to give it back hot individually instead of dragging a whole tribe into the web of a single clown.
If you don't control your temper, these clowns can drag you down to their bigotry and beat you silly with experience.
I apologise on his behalf
Hey you clown, where on earth did you read me protest against the #ENDSARS movement?
I'm quite supportive of the movement as I observed them humiliate a fellow young traveller and held us for nearly two hours because someone was using and iPhone earphone. This happened about a year ago.
Anyway, these EndSARS people still need to give kudos to the east and Nnamdi Kanu for upping the ante, and forcing your lifeless president to act.
Proeast2: Maybe you should also check the last few paragraphs of your screenshot. Didn't you see where it was written that ships have the right to pass provided they didn't do anything detrimental to the neighboring country it is passing through?
Ships coming to any port in Biafra will not do anything to detrimental to Niger Delta because they will simply sail past peacefully.
You guys will be the ones calling for trouble when you try in any way to harm ships to our country because that will be seen as act of war. You can't sabotage the economic interests of another nation for no reason without expecting severe consequences.
Live and let live!
Anyway, Ubani and Opobo will still be parts of Biafra,
There is no way on earth, that Ekiti will be better off than Abia, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Enugu, Imo state. This is just a heap of trash.
All the talk about Anambra being the least poverty-afflicted state, is just to make this article seem authentic and fair. It would have required a huge mental somersault for anyone to believe that there is a Nigerian state with least number of poverty cases than Anambra, so he had to throw that one in, as it would have been impossible to disprove, and to give the impression he is being balanced.
Etrusen: I really appreciate the fact that you realize that someone post it there
that is that same way the Op of this thread post his
that was how Zik his own
or you are now wiser or older than Azikiwe ?
to have known the history of onitcha better ?
Of course I know way more about the Igbo culture than Zik.
Even in Onitsha, Zik was never an authority on Onitsha history. Hundreds of Onitsha people were more knowledgeable than Zik on Onitsha matters, when he was alive.
That he got a Phd in a US university didn't automatically confer on him, the mastery on Onitsha or Igbo history and traditions.
Let alone moi, that has Nri ancestry, and thus privy to details of Igbo existence that the normal Igbo person is not privy to.
If Zik had sojourned in Nri and learnt from the Nri elders and cultural custodians, then he would have had a tiny hope of being on par with me, with regards to the knowledge of Igbo traditions.
Secondly, in ancient times, Nri-IGBO people were the royal lineages of all the monarchies in Igbo and Igodomigodo.
It would have been a huge and unacceptable sacrilege for a non-Igbo to form the royal lineage of Onitsha. Definitely IMPOSSIBLE.
Nri was already the cultural and political overlord of Benin in those times, and there were lots of NRI titled men perambulating all across Benin territory, so an Eze Chima would have been one of such people.
Onitsha is crawling with lots of Nri-introduced cultural practices, one of which is the fact that Obis of Onitsha were crowned by the Nris, up until the 1960s.
All these your outlandish tales are just fictional tales.
NRI looms large over the Igbo cultural tapestry, thus making it extra difficult for any history falsifiers and interlopers to break in and introduce fake tales
horsepower102: Ikwerres are not igbos. We should only focus on the Igbos that identify with us like the oyibos, asa people etc. the rest can do whatever they want.
You cannot be embracing anyone who has consistently denied you since 1970s.
Ikwerres are not Igbos, until they start realising they are Igbos and acting like Igbos.
Please listen from 18:23 to hear the request the Ikwerre gentleman made, in an Ohanaeze Ndigbo meeting. If this can be carried out, I will have no problems in accepting Ikwerres as fellow Igbos.
Sinzumoney: the Igbos don't need the SS because they add nothing to us. The SE is not landlocked the azumili river in between akwa ibom and rivers can serve as pathway way to sea the Igbos can easily create a seaport there obuaku in abia state is closer to the sea than Porthacourt yet there is a seaport in PH. if Nigeria break up they won't be any thing like niger Delta republic. Nobody will want to be in an ijaw dominant country the Efik/Ibibio will form their own country and the ijaw and ikwerre will form their niger Delta republic. so nobody can claim the water since it is in-between two countries and since it comes from imo we have the right to dredge it(only to deepen we can't dredge to widen because we will be entering another country's land and we don't need it because the river is big). we have oil but not in large quantities so we won't be oil dependent and Most of Nigeria gas reserves is in imo and abia. And the world is going green due to climate change so very soon oil might become useless. I think is very good because we Igbos are business driven and we understand each other so we can easily develop our country and since the SE is small it won't take us much time and money. If we create a country with the SS it may been a smaller Nigeria and instead of Boko Haram we will have militants and the SS we just be screaming our oil money everyday. and instead of launching satellites we will be trying to stop the ijaw itshekeris and urohobo from killing themselves over who owns warri.
Ikwerre will NEVER want to be in the same nation with Ijaw. So you can discard this your dream. Ikwerres, Ogbas, Etches and other Igboid groups now will not want to be in a nation with the Ijaws, especially as Ijaws don't want to be with the greater Igbo nation.
What makes you think these Igboids will wanna be with Ijaws. No way whatsoever. They will rather be with their fellow Igbo speakers.
gregyboy: Lol, you're pained but i cant help you i can only make it worse, i forsee your ethnic cleansing on your people in the nearest future, thats why we wont allow the edo-igbo people join biafra before people like you will tag then edo-ohu, or osu, i know, the osu people of pure igbo ancestory would rather join edo than join biafra not to say edo-igbo subgroup Instead of you to accept history instead of fighting it, if Mandela had fought the white out because they were invaders what would be of south africa today.....
I need your tears and your pain to keep me on nairaland, you see the dark pics... Those two kings are wearing the benin queen idah mask, one from the left is a kogi monarch the right one from anambra...
The first picture is the current Attah of Igala. The second pic is an Eze Nri of Oraeri.
That image is not a Benin thing. It was issued by the ancient Eze Nris to kings within the Nri cultural sphere. Attahs of Igala received it from Eze Nri in Agukwu. Oba of Benin received it from the Eze Nri in Agukwu. The Eze Nri in Oraeri also received one, on their coronation.
According to archaeological finds, Oraeri is far older than Benin. Oraeri is perhaps the same age as (or possibly older than) Igodomigodo
Sowore, even though he played a huge part in bringing in the current disaster of a president, he has done quite a lot to redeem the situation, and for that, he has earned my utmost respect.
The BOY is just trying to cash in on the Fela aura. Nothing more, nothing less.
Etrusen: simply put " you are pained" because the ikwerre people reject nri and choose benin. I have no time to discuss this with you
that video is from one of the leader of the Great Benin descendants forum you obviously don't have anything to prove please am done with you.
That is Izoduwa proving the Benin links to Ikwerre people. That proves my point that Benin people have been playing an active role in secretly trying to convince this people of some Benin links.
Izoduwa is a Benin man, and definitely not an Ikwerre person. The information at my disposal is that very many such secret moves have been made in the past by Benin people, in their effort to convince Ikwerre people
