Politics › Re: Blasphemy: Nigerians Drag Atiku, Peter Obi, Others For Being Quiet by omenka(m): 8:33pm On Aug 29, 2020

Now the horse has bolted out the stable!!

The jury is already out and if Atiku comes out at this stage to make a statement, be it FOR or AGAINST the ruling, it would still reflect badly on him given that he knew all along this was happening yet thought he could sit it out only to make a statement after being dragged.

Even Deji is shaking tables. Wonder if he's out of his ICU and back in the country yet.

This one's a real spoiler.

It isn't about animal rights alone, what about the conservation of our natural flora and fauna? What about the preservation of our wildlife for the purposes of tourism?

In this age of a pandemic with origins allegedly from wildlife, you people still carry on as though everything is good and fine.

I'm not denying there is no hate.. I have lived in the north. There is even an institutionalised hate there, if you're Igbo you're charged a higher NEPA bill than an Hausa and stuffs like that,.. The east isn't really habitable for outsiders maybe due to divisions amongst its people along state lines..

But then again even in your Benue state, there is hate between TIV and Idoma, and an idoma can't even be governor.. So stop Making it sectional

Politics › Just Like Buhari, A Twitter User Predicts Tinubu's Death Ahead Of 2023. by omenka(op): 7:09am On Aug 29, 2020

A die hard Atiku/PDP supporter, @AustinaNwabufo, has predicted that Bola Ahmed Tinubu would die in the last quarter of 2022.

This prophesy he made on his twitter handle on August 20th, but the tweet has long been taken down due to it's violation of Twitter community rules, but before it was, screenshot was taken by readers and saved for posterity. A walk through his timeline would leave one in no doubt the composition of the poster's mind.

It is instructive to note that Tinubu himself hasn't stated ANYWHERE he would be running for president.

This is the same sort of toxic politics played by the PDP in events leading up to the 2015 election and it appears they aren't ready to turn a new leaf.

Things like this are the more reason we need that social media bill so we can get ahead of this corrosive hate before it consumes us all. People have to be held accountable for their utterances and not hide behind freedom of speech to instigate avoidable public disturbance.

Politics › Re: Ohanaeze Ndigbo Condemns Reported Killing Of DSS Personnel By IPOB Members by omenka(m): 6:43am On Aug 29, 2020

That with remorse and pang of guilt, we regret that Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB have won the average Igbo man anywhere and everywhere, a national and international nest of enmity, hostility and aggression, visiting us with unfathomable, indefinable and bottomless abhorrence, the magnitude of what remains unseen in our entire history of consciousness.

Ndigbo has finally taken the Right First Step towards making amends- admiting there's a problem and the nature of the problem.

These lines capture what we've been saying since 2016.

Weve always said we aren't against anyone breaking free from the Union, but how one goes about it is what makes the difference. Ipob led by Kanu has gone about it EVERYWAY THEY SHOULDN'T. They constantly reference Catalonia but have NEVER gone about the struggle the way Catalonians do.

Some of us are willing and ready to extend a hand of friendship and brotherly affection once the other party is as well willing to. Hate and wanton hostilities amongst us would take us nowhere.

God bless Ndigbo and God bless Nigeria.

Before Seun takes the first steps towards rebranding, he has to get rid of his utterly compromised Mods and Supermods.

In addition he should make it possible for one to block members from seeing their profile or posts.

With these done, we can start talking about other aspects of rebranding. Seun makes rules without any intentions of observing or enforcing them, for example, that useless thread stuck at the very top of the politics section.

That is not true. No one but people like you would RATHER HAVE PREFERRED THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN so you can always project your insidious lies about Buhari hating Ndigbo. Thia surely pokes numerous holes in that narrative.

Buhari hates no part of the country, but it is only unfortunate he seems overwhelmed by the demands of the office he occupies, especially wft security and corruption. If he could work on these two and make things better, then we would have made a great president.

And why should I hold brief for ipob or anyone for that matter? I am a citizen of Nigeria and reserve the right to share my thoughts on whatever tickles my fancy.

If anyone decides to have their own opinions, that's their prerogative. The eyewitness said many things, including that which I quoted, and which is MY RIGHT TO.

The report clearly shows that they were peacefully having meeting and exercising untill your murderous DSS went there to open fire on them and they took different objects to defend themselves

I do not know why an area will be peaceful but the security forces will go there to bring unnecessary violence and death

You're saying an entirely different thing. I haven't said they weren't having a peaceful meeting, neither have I said they should have AK9000, my message is VERY CLEAR. They killed two people and they did so with the ARMS at their own disposal, bottles, stones, planks and sticks.

Except you want to say the eyewitness lied on this part but was honest on all other things he said.

Dharniel600:
protection of life and properties is the primary purpose of Government. How can he even reason correctly when those useless Fulani herdsmen has turned The state into Fuji house of commotion? I stand with the governor on this.

I suppose starving families to death by ensuring their breadwinners arent paid salaries for more than a year, constitutes *protection of lives and properties*.

Sending thugs to beat up anyone found criticizing you publicly constitutes protection of lives and properties.

Flogging protesting septuagenarians protesting in front of the government house over the non payment of their pensions constitute protecting their lives and properties.

Throwing social media critics of the government into cells implies protection of their lives and properties.

Creating a state vigilante group who go about marauding and extorting rural dwellers means their lives and properties are being protected.

Demolishing the apartment of an 85 year old women without making provisions for her relocation because you're trying to upgrade a hotel you recently acquired, means you're protecting her life and her properties.

Benue people are asking very hard questions and never a time have they felt so let down by a government in the state, but you outsiders who, probably, have never been to the state, seem to know better than them.

I've always told you people, if you think Ikpeazu is a failure then you've never met Ortom or know anything of him.

Okoroafor added, “Unfortunately, one of the DSS guys missed their vehicle and he ran across the road looking for an escape route. I learnt he was one of those, who started shooting at the unarmed IPOB boys. So, the IPOB boys pursued him with sticks, stones and planks and eventually caught him; they brought him to the main road and stoned him.

“Those IPOB boys were not bearing arms, but what I observed was that some of them had charms, because when those DSS operatives were shooting at them, the IPOB boys were pursuing them and when the situation got tense, the operatives jumped into their vehicles and ran away. I am not telling you a story. I was there as an eyewitness.

“I learnt that the one person, who was killed and burnt, was filming them when they were protesting and when they wanted to take his phone, he resisted; that was what I was told.”

Interesting.

People of the world, know ye this day that "not bearing arms" doesn't cover GUNS ONLY. If you bear objects that could inflict futile injury on people, including bottles, sizable stones and "planks", as explained by this "eye witness", you are ARMED.

These were the same objects they used to KILL the officer and whether it was that was videoing them.

Just to make things clear.

Why does it seem like we're averse to seeing or promoting green culture in this part of the world?

I find it so irritating when I see edifices surrounded by nothing but concrete floors. Whatever happened to making walkways and parking lots with concrete, while allowing trees, lawns, and flowers to cover the rest of the surroundings of the edifices? This would not only enhance the quality of the air in the surroundings, it would also do great wonders to the aesthetic appeal of the structures.

Infrastructural development we all desire, yes, but it is also imperative that we did it in the right way.

The story is about Ortom and Benue, not Buhari, and I'm speaking from the perspective of one who KNOWS what's happening in my state, not some useless political nutjobs who think everything has to be about support for political party figures, even when they know not a squat about what's going on in the place under discussion.

Even when Ortom was in APC, I strongly condemned his actions. From the very time he took office and set out to buy extremely expensive cars for his commissioners when the country was under recession, I knew he could be a gargantuan failure and I wasn't wrong. You pdp supporters attacked him then when he was in APC, but he became an unblemished performer when he decamped to pdp, a performer beyond reproach.

I dont play that sort of foolish politics.

I have criticized Buhari several times, especially with respect to corruption and security, notwithstanding the fact I support APC. You pdp supporters should learn to do the same, no one would kill you.

Foolish failure jailing people who criticize his government on social media.

Ortom is worse than the devil himself. A man who could boast of ONLY ONE good tarred street in MAKURDI in nearly SIX YEARS of his administration.

Pensioners are owed over twelve months arrears while civil servants are owed 5 to 11 months salaries. Rather than fix these problems, all he's doing is buying up choice properties in Makurdi. Look at the gargantuan castle his wife's brother is building in Ankpa Quarters. What is his source of income?

Whenever people start talking about his failure, he begins to play the Fulani card. Thankfully, the people of Benue state aren't buying that crap anymore.

Foreign Affairs › Mike Pence Disinvited From Wisconsin Lutheran Commencement Speech by omenka(op): 10:14pm On Aug 27, 2020

By Betsy Klein, CNN
Updated 12:23 PM EDT, Thu August 27, 2020

(CNN) Vice President Mike Pence is no longer invited to deliver a commencement address to the graduates of Wisconsin Lutheran College amid ongoing unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after Jacob Blake was shot in the back seven times by police.

Pence had been slated to give the address Saturday to the Christian college in Milwaukee, less than an hour northeast of Kenosha, which his office announced in a press release Monday. The college cited "escalating events" as the reason a different speaker would be presented.

"After further review with careful consideration of the escalating events in Kenosha, the WLC Board of Regents and the College's Administration have jointly decided to present a different speaker instead of the Vice President of the United States, Michael R. Pence, at the Saturday, August 29, 2020, commencement," the college said in a statement Thursday.

A spokesman for Pence confirmed he would no longer be speaking.

"Vice President Pence understands and supports Wisconsin Lutheran College's decision to prioritize the safety and well-being of their students, and wishes the students well as they celebrate the accomplishment of graduating from college and as they embark on their next journey," Pence's press secretary Devin O'Malley told CNN in a statement.

A local pastor, Rev. Mark Jeske of St. Marcus Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, will deliver the speech instead.

The decision comes amid some vocal opposition from alumni and current students who penned a letter earlier this week, updated Wednesday night, renouncing Pence's participation and claims from the college that the event was not political.

"We are concerned about the college's blatantly inappropriate decision to invite the vice president to speak for this monumental event for the Class of 2020. Not only is the invitation disrespectful, but also the remarks provided by the college fail to recognize the reality of the decision," the group wrote in an open letter.
