Why can the soldier go inside the forest and comb it? Since most of the bandits have their hideout in the forest...

What kind of country are we building for ourselves? It is so obvious that it is sth sinister finishing in the army...

In the north, they have a civilian JTF, and some group of people volunteers to be a civilian JTF in the south, then you said that they should not go inside the forest as if you love them...and you are protecting them....

Fulani government, some of us are on our knees praying, that God should turn all your sinister plans and strategies to foolish...no matter what....all your coded evil plans will fail....

Can you imagine, soldiers that suppose comb all the forest, they stayed outside and some civilians volunteered their lives to go and die with the bandits...this is what the soldiers cannot do....

Who runs a country like this and succeeds?

My problem is not about the Twitter ban but about taking the wrong to ban Twitter without weighing its consequences on the ordinary improvised and hustling citizenry..

This is the clear indication that this administration is good at taking a wrong decision on our behalf....because I can't see any improvement in our economy since the inception of this present government in 2015. It is all about, charade achievement...

Sunofgod:
Our constitution does not recognize 'human rights'....

Section 19-38 of the 1999 Constitution is on human rights....but the implementation of it is what I don't know....dont ask me, ask Barrister Femi Falana

Charly boy is still called Charly boy but wiz-kid change is name to Big wid

Move it to kano state at your own peril.

If you are going to the north with your pig...remember to write your will and give it to your lawyer to read it in case you never return alive.

ThEGodFaThEr103:
Better than Tinubu, the Opolo eyed drug baron who went to the north and dash them 200 million Naira that he stole from Lagos and abandoning his Afonja conehead brothers Fulanis massacred in Shasha market.

Did you read my comments before you type this trash? because the two are at variance...

Bye Bye

SmartPolician:
Nigeria has so many nonentities.

Gosh!

No.need to dignify a pig by responding to his ignoble and debasing comment...


Tueh.....I spit on his flatted head


Bye-bye

They should even stop the distribution of all their evil food products to the south and let's see who will suffer it most...

Carry your pepper, tomatoes, Yam, and fruit back to your Fulani land and see who will buy it at the rate you use to sell it to the southerner in your land...

We are not afraid of your poor distribution and diversion of your farm products....stop selling them to the south and let see how it goes...

And the niger-delta region should take full control of its crude oil...and refineries...

Nobody can become a champion forever....

Serena Williams also is struggling to clinch on the title...champion no dey last forever

Premiumwriter2:
I'll personally draft and create a contract and get the very first investors to sign that at all times I'll own 60% of the shares.

All share sales and dilution will come from the remaining 40%. Can't come and form a company and then some modaf*ckers will push me out.

I can sense the domineering spirit in you....
I can never partner with your type of person because you will restrict the growth of the business to your control alone....selfish people everywhere
Steve job was sacked from the company he co-founded...

China loves to help in this kind of situation....since the presidential Twitter handle is involved...

China hack AU and ECOwas information by pretending to help fix and installing their IT free of charge....

So, be expecting China magic on our vital security information....


I laugh in Fulani language

Buhari has been sent as a leader to the country to make begin to call on the name of the Lord....many people have neglected God and start serving another god


Buhari will make us cry to our God for help...oh God, help us

SmartPolician:
Why is Ayo Fayose silent in the face of the world's most incompetent leadership?

Fayose is one of the major critic of this president government...i dare any governor from the BiaFRaudn Republic to do the same.... even though they are the opposition party, we didn't see their opposition fight....probably they are thinking of joining APC...

Leboska:
I just opened a Twitter account today, because I know anything the presidiot condemned or banned is good, he doesn't like good things.

Watch your back Malami or Patani is coming to pick you inside your room

UncleKoboko:
One of the reasons why Yorubas won't choose Igbos over northerners is because, YOU PEOPLE ARE FAR WORSE.

I can't deny that I'm disappointed in these abokey fool ani savage animals, but Igbos too are not any better.
I have lived in Abia, Delta and Enugu for many years.
Igbo governors are the WORST in this country. Even a state like kogi is enjoying a better governance than Abia state.
Igbos are their own first enemies! Lack of unity and love for themselves.
I wonder how BIAFRA can work out for them if they finally get it.
In the 21st century, they still practice the OSU caste system. Imagine that nonsense.

Within the same so-called igbosy, groups such as Ikwerre, Etche, Ika, Ukwuani etc would be called Igbos, right? Goodluck to you in trying to convince these people that they are Igbos. They look so Igbotic and speak what seems like a dialect of Igbo but would die before they agree to be called Igbo.

Now if you can’t convince someone who bears Emeka, Nngozi, Nkechi etc as name to joining an Igbo country, how can you now lump Igbos, Yorubas, Edos, Efik-Ibibios, Ijaws etc into one single country.

I’m not saying it’s not possible, Afterall Nigeria happened. What I’m saying is that there are several factors that will come to play. One of which is ethnicity.
Second is Religion.
The best bet for us is to spilt into many independent countries or at least, CHANGE THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT TO FEDERALISM (REGIONAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT)

Yoruba people joining Igbo is even worst than this present condition. The level of hatred of Igbo to other tribes is beyond narration....all that you see them doing is eye services in the office but inside them are poisonous cobra to other ethnic majority or minority group.

The C in C will feel unconcerned about this incident....but they can send a troop to the southeast to kill some ethnic groups...

We are deceiving ourselves...i implore the OPC and Amotekun to force a network of security in this area...nobody is ready to protect anybody....the agenda is to install the Fulani caliphate in every part of West Africa...

PataAlhajaKeji:
PDP should shut the fucck up!

Buhari is the country's chief executive officer and C-in-C of the armed forces ...

A group of Americans in Twitter's headquarters in California shouldn't belittle and undermine the president's power without getting spanked.

Twitter should tender an unreserved apology to the president with a promise to always delete tweets that compromise the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria.

The hunch-back, ashewo-fuckin', demented, IPOBic albino based in the U.K should also be permanently banned from Twitter.

Without doing the aforementioned, the ban remains.

PDP and Jack Dorsey can fucck themselves in the anus. Awọn were!

Foolish comment...
Does Twitter know any user as president of a country? ..must Buhari accept the term and conditions of social media platforms like Twitter...Buhari has a choice ....he can build his local social media by desisting from using private company social media...

There are terms and condition your president to accept before he can sign in on Twitter.. His social media aide should advise him better...
Twitter annual budget triple Naija budget annually.
China has accepted to help him....let him embrace china's offer.

PDP is not good at being an opposition party....they didn't even put the ruling party on their toes for once. APC see the opposition as their slaves....
This might be just a mere noise....the spokesman for pdp didn't even help matters unlike Olisah Metuh.... a very vibrant and intelligent lawyer. ...PDP has join forces with the ruling party to disgrace this country...

Shame on the PDP chairman, shame on the PDP exco members...shame on PDP national leaders...

Grace001:
The lives and interest of south westerners is greater than Akeredolu’s membership of APC.

Aketi will not trade the lives and interest of yoruba people for nonsense APC membership.

Our ancestral land isn’t for grazing, let the killer Fulani herdsmen get that to their cow watering brains.

Akeredolu is not like Tinubu and his wife who are bent on trading the Yoruba interest on the altar of their political ambition for the Fulani government

Generalnomercy:
Yoruba as are cowards.

You ran away from threads where terrorist Fulani's your brothers are killing your people in their numbers, commiting genocide on Yoruba land, but you're here cheering the police for killing innocent Igbo youths.

The evil you wishes Biafrans will sudden come upon you like a thief cometh in the night.

Evil soul.

I will be decorating a black sheep by responding to your comment...shoe get size... Bye-bye.

Kogi people will suffer...This man has started squandering Kogi State money for his political ambition...
Kogi people, prepare for great hunger ahead...Yahaya Bello will be the last person I will endorse as the president....does he has any good antecedent? If he has in Kogi State, let him show us....the man that came to power on the platter of gold.....no merit...

Akeredolu doesn't forget the son of the soil...
Weldone sir...

Sanwoolu is yet to send any message concerning the demise of TB Joshua....what a shame...!

dat9jaguy:
If he chooses to use any forum to communicate that's his choice but for a social media platform to be used in constituting a threat to national security,and showing open bias against the government then the ban is justified.
The president swore an oath to defend the sovereignty of Nigeria and neutralize threat to national security.

You are dodging my question...on every social media e.g nairaland, there are rules of engagement...irrespective of your title in your country, you will follow the rules of engagement of each social media before you can have an account with each social media...

It is even better that he delete his account on all social media so that all these embarrassments will not occur to our amiable president again...

Seven countries have banned Twitter in their countries and I checked all these seven countries and discovered that all these countries are ruled by dictator leaders. ..


Food for thought

See the future of some family wasted.....

I always believe in dialogue....war is just a waste....Nnamdi Cownu is on self-exile commanding his slave to be killed in Nigeria...
I dare anybody that will be commanding me like the way Cownu is commanding these people.....deja vu....1967-1970 Biafra killing is repeating itself....

Where are the elders in Igbo land?.... Nobody wants to b controlled.....round table talk will make more meaning than all these nonsense

Sunmolar:
By anonymous

I begin this write-up by saying that I mean no ill-thought towards the Biafran struggle or Igbos in general. What I’ve written here are mainly my personal reflections concerning the Niger Delta, especially with regards to non-Igbo groups and their stake in the Biafran movement which has been rebirthed for some time now. I am not a mouthpiece for the Niger Delta but I believe I’ve been in the Niger Delta long enough to know our problems and our stand. I’ve also interacted with many Niger Deltans to know their stand in the Biafran struggle.

When I use the term Niger Delta, I am referring to the region covering Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River states. However, I understand that the region also covers Ondo, Imo, and Abia states. I’m not concerned with the latter because they are either Igbos or Yorubas and have their own struggles. The ethnic groups within my coverage include Urhobo-Isoko, Bini, Esan, Itsekiri, Ijaw-Epie-Ogbia, Ogoni, Afemai, Efik-Annang-Eket-Oron-Ibibio, Ogoja, Ejagham, and other groups in Cross River North. Ikwerre, Ukwuani, Ika, Aniocha, Ogba, and other Igboid groups, are not included. Historically, Biafra covered all the Niger Delta states EXCEPT Delta and Ondo states. This fact must be emphasised.

Pro-Biafrans are welcome to debate and address my issues in a civil manner. I understand that most pro-Biafrans resort to insults when salient issues are addressed.

Please let’s set a good precedence from hereon.

1. Biafra may not be better for Niger Deltans because Niger Deltans may end up living one form of subjugation for another. The argument Igbos have made for their freedom is the desire to be free from Hausa-Yoruba domination. That argument also applies to the average Niger Deltan. Igbo, no doubt, will be the major ethnic group if Biafra is actualised. Ijaws may have a stake due to their numbers. What about the Ogonis, Urhobo-Isokos, Itsekiris, Efiks, etc? Where will they fit in at the national level? The sad reality is that another Nigeria will just be made manifest and resentments will build up. What will really be the fate of minorities? Will they fare better in Biafra or alone? In Nigeria, big groups such as Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo checkmate each other’s excesses very well. Who will checkmate that of Igbos in the new nation?

2. Where will the capital be located? If we are to follow the notion of central location, the capital of Biafra won’t be Enugu but around Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene axis. Will Igbos allow their capital to be sited in a non-Igbo location? This is a very salient issue because you don’t expect the riverine Niger Deltan in Twon-Brass, for instance, to journey all the way to Enugu to see their President. It has to be a location where ALL BIAFRANS can access easily. Enugu won’t go.

3. The issue of annexation comes to play. For so long, e-Biafrans have annexed Niger Delta as part of the proposed nation. The map below shows us what Biafrans have drawn to constitute the new nation:

If we judge from this map, it means all groups in the Niger Delta have been annexed. My question is whether the leaders of these groups have been consulted before the annexation was done. I, for one, know that Urhobo-Isoko and Efik-Ibibio leaders have not approved of Biafra neither have anybody in these regions declared Biafra. So how and why were they included in the proposed map? Little things like this bring distrust and I understand that many of these non-Igbo regions have disowned the map and pledged allegiance to Nigeria. The declaration by the Delta State government is a case in point. I see this as forceful annexation. The so-called e-Biafrans have also not done much in calming the nerves of the people of the annexed regions. I’ve seen comments such as “if you don’t like it, go and stay in Sokoto”, “all land in the South is Biafraland”, etc. Is it not ironic that a group of people who want freedom want to annexe others?

4. What languages will be made the official languages of the new nation? I have seen several posts by e-Biafrans where Igbo was proposed as the official language of the new republic. What then will happen to other languages such as Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe, Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Ogoni, Eleme, Okrika, Kalabari, Bini, Esan, etc? Will they die off because of Igbo? Certainly NOT! If English is made the official language, the Igbo majority factor will kick in. If your name isn’t Chukwuemeka or Oliseh, Amarachi or Nneka, etc, you won’t get any appointment nor shall you be recognised. These are things we can’t deny. We are very ethnocentric in Africa.

5. What and what have Igbo nation done for Niger Deltans to gain their trust? Every day I see Igbo youths making enemies where there were none. They constantly use the agency of the internet to sprout controversy, hurl insults at dissenters and make unfounded claims. There is this general air of mistrust for Igbos by some Niger Deltans, particularly by Urhobo-Isoko and Bini people. What have Igbos done to checkmate this? Has any Igbo leader or group extended the hand of friendship to the Niger Deltans. Mistrust cannot be wished away. Most Niger Deltans would rather follow Hausas as slaves than follow Igbos as kings. This is the real reality and truthfully, Igbos caused this.

6. Who will lead the new nation? Obviously, Nnamdi Kanu, their hero, has fought tooth and nails for Biafra and he is currently cooling off in jail. If Biafra comes today, who will be the interim leader and what modalities are in place for subsequent leaders to be elected? Igbos have been the only ones fighting for Biafra since time immemorial with a handful of other groups here and there. Will Igbos allow other groups to rule over them? Will they allow an Urhobo man to be President, for instance? This is not a case of mere wishing. We have to understand that Niger Delta groups MAY NEVER BE ALLOWED TO RULE BIAFRA IF IT IS ACTUALISED.

7. Still on the issue of leaders, are the new leaders going to fall from the skies or they are simply going to change addresses from Abuja to Enugu. If so, what will change in the new nation? It is not arguable that Igbo national leaders are the most corrupt persons in Nigeria. If these same people are the ones to rule the new nation then there is no hope because corruption will be so rife that the economy of the new nation will shut down like a knocked engine. If we argue that new and younger leaders will arise, we still have the issue of who fought for Biafra to contend with. Most pro-Biafrans will not allow someone who sat at the periphery of the struggle to just come and waltz power away from the “heroes” of Biafra. If this is true then we will not have a proper democracy in Biafra.

8. Will Biafra be a utopia? The impression that e-Biafrans give is that Biafra will be perfect and we all know for a fact that this is not true. Apart from the issue of corruption and sentimentalism that have been addressed, we still have the issue of development. Where will money be generated from to develop the nation? In the whole of the proposed Biafra, only Port Harcourt and Onitsha are economically viable cities. Where will the investors come from? Why should they invest in a volatile country? Only in Warri, we have Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo at loggerheads, imagine what would happen to the whole nation. Secondly, I am sure that no Niger Deltan will allow his “oil” to be used to develop Enugu like what happened with Abuja, and is still happening today. Niger Deltans are getting wiser and by the time the new nation is formed, matters that border on oil, wealth distribution and infrastructural development will be raised.

9. The current structure of the proposed nation, as shown in the map earlier embedded, favour Igbos with more states. Urhobo has one, Efik-Ibibio has two, Itsekiri has none, etc. How will this be addressed? Certainly, every ethnic nationality will want adequate representation and so the structure on that map will never work.

10. Last, but not the least, is the issue of referendum. Some Biafrans are already calling for a referendum which will involve all parts of the proposed nation. I am pretty sure how this referendum will turn out. However, for the sake of being hypothetical, let us imagine that some ethnic groups/states vote against Biafra by the majority, what will be their fate at the end of the day? Secondly, will the result of such a referendum be true and honest? I understand that electoral malpractice forms a part of our identity. How are we going to get a true reflection of people’s thoughts? Thirdly, if states and ethnic groups do decide to vote for Biafra, what mechanisms are in place to contain Igbophobia, Igbomania, Igbocentrism, Igbo hegemony, Landgrabbing, and all issues that minorities have raised?

Above are the reasons why I feel that Niger Deltans will NOT subscribe to the Biafran movement. I have been very practical, philosophical and hypothetical in my approach. I do not speak for any group or persons but I present these issues for the pro-Biafrans to address. Niger Deltans can raise more issues that I have not raised. Finally, it should be noted that I expect insults directed at my person by e-warriors and keyboard mercenaries, as usual, but I won’t pleasure such persons with answers or altercations. If you raise good points, we can discuss like intellectuals.


Copied & reference removed

Some of these points are biased....since they have done it during Biafruad Republic, they can still continue their union. ....but an average Igbo man has a domineering spirit.....

Let them be dominating one another.....shebi, they are all Igbo people....Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu...form your Biafraudn Republic and let us see how it will last...

Danny50:
To be sincere Jack doesn't know human like buhari exist.

The annual turnover of Jack is far more than the annual budget of 20 African countries put together. ....if I'm lying....google it...

Simply put, Most of the president should always use other social media where their title will be considered before taking any decision....

Twitter jack Doesey is a president on his own world....he doesn't force any fucking President to subscribe to his platform....

Naija should domesticate social media through which Mr president will be communicating to his people....
You can't be on Uber car and be commanding me. ..the car is not your own, it is just rented for a period of time and for journey. ..you will still have to abide by the owner's terms and conditions..

dat9jaguy:
My point exactly. Freedom of speech comes with responsibilities. The albino cannot threaten security agents with blood shed and tell me that's freedom of speech and when the president warns them, you delete his tweet that he is being dictatorial.
So the albino has freedom of speech but the president cannot express himself
That's hypocrisy to me.

Just a question for you. .
Who force the president to stool so low and accept the terms and conditions of Twitter?

Nobody force me to come to nairaland, whatever is nairaland terms and conditions if I break any I should face the consequence of banning me for numbers of days or months or years.
Nobody no any president of social media...
Jack is a president of president in it own world of Twitter....if I delete my account on nairaland , then, I'm free from their terms and conditions..but since I have sign up on nairaland, I am under obligation to obey their rules or face ban

dat9jaguy:
If the freedom of speech Twitter so much cherishes is real then why delete the president's tweet in the first place?
There is no absolute freedom of speech anywhere so let's stop deceiving ourselves.

Nobody forces your president to use Twitter....it is by choice. . .and he also accepts the terms and conditions of the platform....he stool low to join a social media platform, he will also be subjected to the terms and conditions he signed.
But as a president, must you use your incumbent power to affect the source of livelihood of millions of Nigerians who solely rely on digital marketing for survival...like selling their products on FB and Twitter. ....

Wisdom speaks!

He gave us one bag of rice each in my office during the Yuletide period...I save money my money for rice for the Christmas period last year....
The man is a heavy giver. He gives a bag of rice to some organization every year...and for every festive period....he donates heavily to the organization......

Those organization that has benefited from his largesse knows what I'm talking about....

My worries about the church are the succession plan.. because the church has been locked because of the founder's demise...

May the church have a good succession plan oh

Do you think I care what is typed to me when I lose my loved ones at the middle age of their lives?

Keep your sentiments to yourself, okay?

I'm sorry....I'm having a conversation with the wrong person....pls don't be offended
