Also disturbing is the continued disruption of business and social activities in the South East region over the Sit-at-Home directive purported to be coming from the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, when the body has publicly denied issuing such directive. What is going on in the South East therefore is essentially a criminal activity that must be nipped in the bud, with all hands being on deck, security agencies, and the people alike.

There you have it folks, the bastard that wishes to be a president!!

He says IPOB denied their involvement, therefore that's what it is. It isn't ipob but criminal gangs responsible. Would this effeminate imp also absolve Boko haram of they denied involvement in the carnage in the north and attribute the activities to "criminals"?

Obi keeps showing time and time again his affiliation with the terror organisation. I'm very sure to him, ipob isn't even an armed group, after all, they're his "neighbors" and he "lives with them".

Such an awful dolt.

I'd keep saying it, with the disposition of the leaders of the East towards the security situation in the region, it would be a major setback to the FG to take any action against the terror group in the region. When the people have had enough, they'd themselves fix the problem. The best thing the FG can do for now is adopt a "Sidon Look" approach.

Imagine with everything Ekpa has been doing, this pothead still feels someone else and not ipob is responsible. Every time he speaks, I become more and more convinced Nigerians did dodge a lethal bullet.

mrvitalis:

Run away you little Agbadoite ... When you are faced with superior intellectual debate you run away like your Agbadoite president

Run away little boy

All ipob supporters are a million light years away from the faintest glimmer of sense or wisdom.

It's exhausting having a conversation with a people as daft as that. One only ends up talking to dead woods. It's pointless.

Rossikk:


There will always be an accusation of misdeeds by federal troops, made by IPOB supporters, no matter what happens.

We told you this when you created the other thread calling for deployment of troops.

You're seeing it yourself already.

Look dude, when they've had enough they'd fix the problem themselves. For now, they're comfortable with the level of destruction going on. The tipping point is still far off to them.

mrvitalis:

I'm not responsible for your lack if comprehensive skills sir

Go after criminals no body would complain

But using it as excuse to carry out innocent killings is a no no..

Can you boldly say the last Nigeria army operation in South East has been professional?

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

mrvitalis:
Go after ikpea boys no body would complain

But I repeat but this should not be a repeat of what happened the last time when Igbo youths were just accused of being IPOB and killed anyhow

Do your job earn the trust of the people

They've started complaining already.

This is why I insist the federal government completely hands off this matter. Let the state governments and locals deal with the issue themselves.

There's absolutely no way Abuja would intervene that these nutjobs wouldn't use the exercise as another bait to recruit more idiots into the terrorist group.

saintkel:
Can't see any Fulani look alike over here.....I just hope dis is truly what it is

Just say it as you feel deep in your heart. You're saddened by the death of criminals and killers. You'd have found it alot more refreshing had the story been the opposite of what is reported. You and everyone who like your comment.

ebufa:





I will not abuse you with the gory pictures of the mangled bodies of your Benue compatriots, you are the quintessential blundering and fumbling Black African,that has become a reproach to the known world! You should check yourself into a mental institution because it is apparent to any psychology student ,that your insistence on putting your shameless mouth in Igbo business is a mental escape from the shame of your emasculation by fulani herdsmen! Instead of taking your penile excision like the sissy you are.........you run down to Enugu from your agatu region to lament your woes.


Omenka be a man and go free the land of your ancestors.........come down from the laps of your girlfriend and GO FIGHT like the gallant men of the true ESN ....not the fake ones formed by people like you!

Emotional balderdash. Like one of your brothers on another thread said, you guys haven't had enough to the pains and misery yet, that's the reason despite the glaring evidence before you, you still insist on forging the same path of anarchy.

iboboyswag:


You don't know the Igbos.

Look at it this way... Someone (like the moniker above) is afflicted but when conversations about his affliction is discussed, he agrees that he is afflicted and suffering but would only allow help if the authorities release a terrorist and instigator of mass murder, MNK. What does it say?

Don't it tell you that he hasn't suffered enough? If he truly is tired of the troubles these people (his creation) are wrecking, he would not give a caveat for anyone to help him. Now, this is why I have said that any attempt for Abuja to try to quell this without acceding to their demands will backfire and be used for negative propaganda.

Didn't you see them in Abuja, a few days back? They couldn't call a spade, a spade.

IMO, they haven't suffered enough. Yes, they lament, but they haven't gotten to the elastic limit of their suffering.


Let me give you a little insight

What is happening in the South East is an agitation modelled after the NigerDelta Militant agitation but with the 1966 propaganda playbook of Chief Chukwumerije and Chief Okokon Ndem.

The error of judgement however is that, unlike the ND agitations, the South East has no prized bargaining chip - oil. Not that there are no wells in the SE but there are not enough to hold the country to ransom.

So, it is on this realization that most diehard secessionists would always argue for the unholy marriage of the SE and SS in their agitation to take back their homeland Biafra. They do not mind that these "forced partners" want nothing to do with them, and that of all of the other parts of the country, that they were afflicted the most by these people after the war - but I digress.

Tell me, how does on base his ambitions on an uncorporating partner? How do a seemingly intelligent people not realize quite quickly how mundane the whole idea of chosing to be landlocked in a growing global world sounds. In a world where access to the Sea is a huge geopolitical plus and a strong power wield?

My people are smart but on this one, they have failed like bunch of dunces. They have allowed sentiments, anger and hate to override common sense.

That they do not know that if Nigeria chooses today to grant them statehood, it can choose not to deal with them The whole idea that you can go and Nigeria will be forced to deal with you is beyond absurd.

The soft power play in the last 3 election cycles have given a glimpse of how the Nigerian state will treat the SE in the event of a breakaway and my people seem more to be blinded...

What's wrong with having the quality we claim we can bring to Biafra in South East? What's wrong with accomplishing all of those niceties we believe we can in Biafra under these same political construct?

You see it's either we are driven by blind hate or we don't have it in us. The SE has all it needs to develop and it's not Nigeria that's holding us back.

magoo10:
yes you can imagine being a supporter of evil.
At least since the past 8 years I have never supported anyone who has brought agony to Nigerians ,you are the one who is proud in doing so .yes the dogs and baboons comes to mind but there will be no rest for the wicked

Hurts deeply doesn't it?

magoo10:
the same people behind the unrest ,guess you are a happy and fulfilled supporter.

Just imagine.

iboboyswag:


Thank you. We will prevail. I am happy that more people are speaking up on here and Twitter and in some instances we have taken the conversation out to the public.

On your part, do not be gaslighted from speaking against these ills. They will call you all sorts of names including bigot and others, but pay them no heed. Those ones are lost and no one is looking for them.

The South East must be salvaged.

🙏🙏

magoo10:
this post is irrelevant just like bubu the dullard who is a nepotistic,sadistic and tribal bigot who should focus more on their sharia Islamic caliphate and leave the igbos alone.

Enjoying the current situation now I guess.

Stingman:
Lucid hypocrites...

With all you have, you voted for a president who has none of the what you desire....below...

1. Has no known educational exploits,

2. Has no known literary exploits,

3. Has no leadership experience,

4. Has no known sustainable means of livelihood...

How are you you big mouth better than those you are accusing?

omenka:
Good morning all.

I come in peace.

I'd begin this with two quotes.

Israelmore Ayivor once said..



George Bernard Shaw said..



These two quotes, in a sense, sum up the political blues emanating from South East Nigeria.

Nigeria is such a fascinating place and there is no other place in the country where you find such beguiling political nuances than in the South East, alot of which sprang to life just after the declaration of the results of the last general elections.

It was a chain reaction initiated by the loss of their preferred contestant, Goodluck Jonathan, and catalysed by their collective hatred for the person, tribe and religion of the victor, President Buhari, and those they perceive were associated with his victory namely Bola Ahmed Tinubu in particular, and the South West in general.

No sooner did he take the oath of office than they swarmed him with a torrent of unprintable insults and at best, criticisms, none of which came anywhere close to constructive. They jettisoned all courtesy typical of normal human engagements and delved right into a fray they created in a most sordid manner.

These folks who were having such a fantastic ride with President Jonathan for over five years and literally asked anyone who dared to grumble about being left out or shortchanged to "stick it up their assses" suddenly remembered they've been "marginalised" since the Big Bang!

They found an enthusiastic ally in a sly character called Fani Kayode and he has been doing such a plumb job making sure they fortify their hate for the aforementioned people, he himself a very bitter loser. Most surprisingly, this was the same man whose head they called for just a couple of years earlier for criticising their conduct in Nigerian politicospare.

It is this unbridled hate and anger some opportunistic layabout in London saw and took advantage of, exploiting it to the fullest. Alas, IPOB was born!

This brings me back to both my opening quotes.

Now, if not for reason of sheer hatred, how in God's gracious name did a people who pride themselves as some of the most educated and enlightened people in the continent allow a character that,

1. Has no known educational exploits,

2. Has no known literary exploits,

3. Has no leadership experience,

4. Has no known sustainable means of livelihood...

take on such gargantuan responsibility as secession?

Upon this premise, the second quote is MOST APPROPRIATE.

Nnamdi Kanu would have remained the unknown and insignificant spec in the universe he was had the "losers" not bore such morbid hatred for their supposed enemy.

Some people argue the president lit the torch of their anger by the "5%" comment. Pray tell, would this be the first time someone made such comment? Didn't Jonathan make similar comment when he was the President? The "igbos are the backbone of my administration" comment, remember that? How many people from the North or South West huffed and puffed about it despite its impropriety?

Now, someone tell me, exactly what advantage has IPOB conferred on the South East since the beginning of their belligerent campaign?

Have more projects gone to the South East?

Have more FDI gone to the region?

Have their governors become more alive to their responsibilities?

Have more appointments been given them?

Do Nigerians love them more?

IPOB has but one agenda alone, chip away at the progress Ndigbo have made over the years in every endeavor they've embarked on individually and collectively.

When I look at what these guys are doing to their brothers, i shudder in disbelief.

Take the small town of Makurdi for instance. The most popular "supermarkets", D. O. Brothers, Togos and Nobis, are owned by Igbos. They own the biggest shopping plazas, Ndupet, Merit, O. G. Winners, Tonimas, etc. They are the biggest wholesale distributors of beverages (OFICON). Etc.

I can only imagine what's going on in such big cities as Kanu, Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja, etc.

What strategy of relocation does IPOB have for these people.

You know what they say about "a man who's got nothing to lose"... A most dangerous man. With no known means of livelihood or investments anywhere, Nnamdi Kanu fits the bill for such a character.

Cornered, bruised and humiliated, they've decided inflammable propaganda is the best way to go. The outbreak of Monkey Pox and the military medical outreach presented them with the opportunity to take another pound of flesh out of "their people" (I put it this way because I believe Neither the president nor the soldiers lost a thing from the events of the last one week, rather, school children did).

But for this silly hoax, one would have thought these people who profess to be very educated and enlightened didn't know we have professional doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc, in the military!!

How sad.

How an enlightened people could believe a government intent on depopulating them would go about doing so under the full glare of the public using such overt means as injection beats me. More disturbing is the fact their leaders have chosen to keep mum over it.

Let it be known to all who care to listen, the Federal Government of Nigeria won't be blackmailed into treating any particular group of Nigerians "differently".

Maya Angelou once said "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." That held true then, it holds true now, and it will for centuries to come!

Just like Boko Haram, IPOB has succeeded in bullying into silence moderate and sensible Igbos, but just like my friend on facebook, Gozicon Munachi, it is time for these moderate elements to grow some balls, step up to the medium and salvage what is left of the political and moral patrimony of Ndigbo. Failure to do this would have very far reaching self inflicted negative consequences.

The FFKs of this world would hardly make any difference should things deteriorate any further even though they play very critical role in their escalation. Folks like him have the noose around their necks already, and would do whatever it takes to make sure that noose comes off, it doesn't matter how many lives they sacrifice in the process, just as long as it isn't their family members'.

Even the all knowing and "omnipotent" Ohamadike was nowhere to be found when shiit hit the fan. He still isn't!

This day, I extend a hand of friendship to my Igbo brothers. We may disagree on a whole lot of issues, but we could always do so with mutual respect and courtesy. I hardly agree with whatever folks like Truckpusher or Tonyebarcanista say, but we respect some unwritten rules of engagement. I believe we can at well do the same.

Let us make the most of the union while it lasts. The only people that stand to benefit from the chaos that might ensue from our constant bloodbaths are the elites. If you ask me, they represent our common adversaries irrespective of their tribe, political inclination and religion.

Thanks and have a productive week ahead.

Hello brothers. I warned you guys.

Jakpon, look at this.

This was written by me six years ago. Everything as written has come to pass.

The presidency has yet to publish any list. Anyone parading any list is simply doing so on their own accord.

Timoleon:
Perhaps this is a witch-hunt because he rooted for Peter Obi?

Don't be silly.

Some of you Obidients just open your wide mouth capping shut about stuffs you know nothing about.

Nothing they do to Ortom would ever equate to a witch-hunt. Ortom deserves every ill treatment he gets.

Do you know what that man did to the people of Benue state at all? Do you have any idea?

Ortom failed to pay civil servants for 10 months, and pensioners for over 50 months.

Ortom built not a SINGLE primary school during his tenure, let alone a secondary or tertiary institution.

Ortom didn't build a single factory but ran those he met aground.

Ortom didn't build a single hospital.

Ortom met a debt or 35 billion, left with 147 billion!!

Ortom constructed only one housing estate comprising about 30 units, each with a price tag of 45 million!! Na who wan buy am if not he himself?

Ortom ran Makurdi zoo aground and built a private zoo for himself.

Ortom ran the few functional industries aground and boosted Oracle Business Empire, owned by him. They get just about all contracts in the state.

Ortom built no educational institution but built a private polytechnic owned by himself in the heart of Makurdi. Dude bought entire streets in Makurdi so much so the people nicknamed him "Atim Dyako" meaning "a gatherer of inheritance".

See, leave Ortom matter. It can NEVER be a witch-hunt to Benue people. Benue people are desirous to see the man in chains behind bars.

DaInferno:
If this man governed China...he'd be killed by now

Killed with his corpse fed to vultures.

BiafraInc:
The OP of this thread must be suffering from the fact and impending reality of life under cocoa with free oil and gas money soon to be cut off from his miserable life. Winder why he and his ilk are crying more than the bereaved. IPOB, MNK and Simon Ekpa are the best thing to happen to Biafrans since slice bread and butter.

Stupidest thing I've read in a long time.

24SEVEN:
Omenka aka Omenkata 1 of Nairaland, from the tone of your write-up, I can deduce that it is your fervent prayer to see IPOB aka Nnamdi Kanu Zombies to turn into another Boko Haram. Sorry to disappoint you, it won't work. IPOB does not have the cojones. If we order a hit on Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB dies a natural death.

Looking back, what do you have to say now?

There's nothing wrong with it breaking down. It's not a God but a man made machinery.

Some of you always want to cast aspersions on any good stuff you see around you. How about telling us this is just one out of probably 20 that were bought?

Smh.

Isn't it too obvious this Biafra thing has been turned into a child's okay by these hotheaded delinquent juvenile?

This is beyond you guys.

I remember when I raised a question about Kanu's educational background and what exactly he has achieved in the past to champion a cause as important as this. These same people lashed out and cursed the heck out of me saying my president himself presented a "NEPA Bill" as certificate to be elected president, so I shouldn't bother about Kanu.

Ladies and gentlemen, what you see happening today with IPOB is a direct consequence of having an illiterate oversee a cause such as this.

iboboyswag:

Absolutely incisive.

You sure are persuasive with your argument, I have nothing else to say but wish you and your people the best of luck in your efforts to put an end to this seemingly intractable conundrum.

gift2xl:
Initially I thought they liked it from the beginning.

Of course they did and majority of them contributed to fostering this anarchy through prompt payments of dues and levies imposed by the terror group.

Today, they're counting their loses.

I think they've learnt their lesson.

Well, Anambra1stOaf says no such thing is happening on the East, that everything we see and hear online are mere propaganda against the good people of the East by their enemies.

Therefore, I do not believe anything written here. The residents of Enugu are enemies of Ndigbo to have said these things.

Sirjamo:
President Tinubu should quickly meet with SE leaders and ask them if they would like the military to step in immediately, I am worried about the vulnerable women and children being manhandled by the terrorists.


Meanwhile, to avoid the kind of situation where Buhari was accused of killing Igbo youths, an Igbo officer should lead the operation.



WHEN YOU CRY VICTIM ALL THE TIME, YOU MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE PRESIDENT TO DO HIS JOB. BUHARI DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE IGBOS

If such a meeting ever occurs, I'd advice the president makes it a precondition for such deployment be that the leaders of the region organize a press conference wherein they expressly demand for such deployment.

Anything short of that, no deal.

plaindealer:
Seriously, do you really have to be the president to speak and condemn terrorists and terrorist acts in your own community?

So you need presidential powers to do that?

The brand of deception, cowardice, tribalism and intentional bigotry in that part of Nigeria is out of this world.

I guess she was the president and commander in chief when she was making pronouncements about insecurity in other parts of the country.

What a bald headed witch.

donpapa:
Truth be told, Samuel Ortom underperformed for 8 good years. He was good at whipping up public sympathy against the former president (Buhari) which to me is his only achievement.
Nevertheless, the new governor should focus on delivering his electioneering campaigns to his people. Benue people deserves a true leader. He shouldn’t make this a political witch-hunt.

Nothing they do to Ortom would ever equate to a witch-hunt. Ortom deserves every ill treatment he gets.

Do you know what that man did to the people of Benue state at all? Do you have any idea?

Ortom failed to pay civil servants for 10 months, and pensioners for over 50 months.

Yen yen yen. Who gives a phvck whether he concedes or whether you'd accept?

It appears these ones think the Milky Way revolves around them. Cocky son of a gun.

Abeg make una post better news jor.

iboboyswag:


It is not in Abuja's place to stem any tide because any action from them will be used for negative propaganda.

If and when the people have suffered enough, by themselves, they will fight off their oppressors. When? I do not know.

See... I will let you know that this runs deep.

I have had conversations with people affected, that still think that the carnage is caused by state actors "Fulani supporter of APC". That IPOB and all its affiliates, the "Umuomas", "Umu Elohims", these gun totting miscreants are innocent.

Some others even believe, as absurdly as it sounds, that the killings is an act of "cleansing the land of saboteurs". That UGM kill only people who are "Sabo".

My people are gone, far lost. Only them can save themselves. When the politically greedy elders reconsider and come to their senses and the people are afflicted with more pain than they can bear from the UGM, ESN, IPOB or any other acronym they have ascribed to themselves, only then will all of these end.

You paint a very dark picture of hopelessness brother. I'd rather not believe we've come to this point. Nah, not possible.

Although some supporters of the "heroes" gone rogue around still pretend to have their backs, deep down, I believe they wish they could turn back the hands of time. No one affected by this carnage would genuinely still believe the oppressors are fighting a just cause.

It's not POSSIBLE.

001Lagos:
The criminal and her husband are just too shameless

They are the thieves that Omenka , Helinues, Seunmsg, afamed wanted us to support ..

Bleating illiterate 🤡🤡🤡🤡

001Lagos:
Igbo people are peace loving people and that's the reason why God has continue to bless and protect the Igbos .

Just a single sentence, yet you hopelessly murdered English. Perhaps this is one of the reasons you were thrown under the bus by your silly principal, Ihedioha.

IconicR:
Tinubu no get wahala, knowing him is loving him

No cap.

Bkayyy:
When your haters and enemies tell you to stop, know that you are getting it right.
A notorious Igbo serial hater like Omenka is advising Ndigbo to stop. That means IPOB has been getting it right all along.
If Ipob says that they are freedom fighters and you expect them to be at peace with the government then you are mad.
The fact that they have not picked up arms shows their level of unseriousness by the way

Now that they're "serious", how does it feel bro?
