Igala people are your masters; you’re their slaves. They own the state and should be allowed to take charge of it. This is not about number of people - they own you and your ancestors 💯

The mistake you Qwara state slaves makes is thinking that Igala had influence spread throughout Igboland.No they only came in contact with few communities in today's Anambra and Enugu state.We in Abia,Imo and southern Igboland have nothing to do with Igala and do not even know about their existence.

CockAndBullStor:
The historical underrepresentation of Igala people in Anambra State's governance raises important questions about equity and inclusivity. Despite their ownership, significant presence and contributions to the state, the lack of due recognition in leadership roles points to deeper issues of political dynamics and representation. Addressing this imbalance requires proactive efforts to promote inclusivity, diversity, and fair representation in governance, ensuring the Igala people have a voice and opportunity to contribute to the state's development and decision-making processes.

Igala people, you are the true owners of the state and all its inhabitants; stand up and reclaim what rightfully belongs to you. A slave cannot be greater than his master!

There are more indigenous Igbos in Kogi state than there are Igala in Anambra state.Have Kogi state given their Igbo citizens any recognition?

And police could not use the informant to arrest the bandits.Very incompetent.

ImmaculateJOE:
Imaginary group
Imaginary names
No source of the news .

Southeast people should not sacrifice their demand for a sixth state to these people.

gidgiddy:
So Nigerian Soldiers kill unarmed people?

Are you asking me?

gidgiddy:
General Council to IPOB, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has given guardian Newspapers 12 hours to retract a publication it made on IPOB, and issue an apology, otherwise face legal action

Guardian Newspapers had on 19th June published a piece where it claimed that IPOB leader condemned the killing of Soldiers in Aba, but went on to emphatically claim that it was IPOB that attacked the Soldiers, even though it had no evidence to make such assertion

It's just that Nigeria is not a serious country. In other countries, if you accuse someone, or a group, of murder, you will be taken to court to provide the evidence you have, failure of which could result in a heavy penalty in compensation.

But you gidgiddy defended the killing of soldiers as a revenge for the killing of unarmed IPOB protesters years ago.

StreetFight:
Yes you are right. Tinubu, Shettima, Gandollars, e.t.c. are the people that stole Abia's money

They are thieves in their own various states.

Kim Jong has a trust issue so i can bet that he won't be riding that car.



Well with this their new signed relationship, USA won't be happy about this.

Kim value that car more than his wife because it was gifted by Putin.

0001Lagos:
They are partners In crime

I ain't defending nobody

Okay nice.

0001Lagos:
Tinubu YES

You mean the other two are free from corruption?

0001Lagos:
Kalu is supposed to be chilling in prison for all the atrocities he committed as Abia governor . But this is Nigeria where anything goes.


Otti, you're blessed sir. Continue with the good work you're doing in Abia state, second term is guaranteed in Jesus name Amen.

You are right,he s supposed to be sharing same cell with Tinubu,Shettima,Gandollars etc....

kettykin:
Why on earth will anyone in his right senses attack vigilante

All security agents is considered a threat to their existence.I mean unknown gunmen.The founder of UGM told them to kill every vigilante where ever they see they.They practically declared war on Ebube Agu.

Lagos state money they stole.

yyba:
Obidients are the ones bringing hate to peter OBI with all this lack of respect to others opinion and choice

The hatred for Obidients more important than high cost of living?
I do not think so.

Sharpsharp00123:
don’t b stupid haba

It was proposed n tinubu didn’t approve it haha can’t u people just read or hate has so much blinded u

Reno made it clear that 3 presidential jets haven’t been serviced since then

Haba this igbo hate is strong, haba now u won’t even bother to read u will just b looking for ways to twist d narrative

Everything is hate to you because that is all you live for. This country belongs to all of us nor matter our party, regional or religious affiliation. So be calming down. Today you feel that your tribe and party is in power tomorrow they will be in opposition go ask pdp.

Sharpsharp00123:
even after reno schooled u n your mini god u still hold on to this madness

The jet was proposed 12 years ago during d regime of Jonathan, reno set d record straight but as an igbo who is obsessed with tinubu

He will blame tinubu for what was done 12 years ago

There are other proposals of that era that will benefit the nation but he choose to buy new jet. Why not revisit national constitutional confab? Yeye dey smell.

buzugee:
i need your input on how a resource impoverished nation like britain is one of the richest in the world ? is this non-resource prosperity sustainable ?

Imperialist Britain stole the wealth of other nations worldwide to become rich.

JagabanB:
Who made the proposal to buy jet?

It's a simple question, you don't know the answer?

Do your research or ask Bayo who responded to Peter Obi and still defending purchase of a new jet.

JagabanB:
The fact that Obi's name is mentioned shows it's false already, who made the proposal for the jet?
Don't be sentimental, sentiments won't make you grow.
Who made the proposal, where was it discussed?
By Tinubu?

Read this article and learn.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, criticized the Federal Government’s plan to purchase new aircraft for the presidential fleet on Monday. He deemed the decision insensitive, especially as Nigerians face economic hardship due to government policies.

In response, the Presidency swiftly labeled Obi’s remarks as insensitive, questioning whether he preferred risking the President’s life with unreliable aircraft.

Speaking on Monday, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said, “Does Peter Obi want the President dead? Is that his wish? Does he want him to continue moving around in a rickety plane and die like the VP of Malawi and Iran President? Let him tell us. This is a basic thing any sane government will do. You can’t toy with your President’s welfare.

“The plane he used now, I learnt, was bought during (former President) Obasanjo’s era. That was over 20 years ago and I learnt it was a very small plane. The plane developed a problem the last time he travelled to Saudi Arabia. The President had to go from there to the UK on a commercial airline. Even those managing them said the aircraft needed to be replaced.

“Why will any right-thinking person still want the President to move around in it? In any way, it is the National Assembly that officially recommended that new ones should be bought. Sometimes, Peter Obi opened his mouth to make unnecessary statements.”

The House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence had recently called on the FG to buy new aircraft for President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima.

The committee’s recommendation was contained in a report released after it investigated the status of the aircraft in the presidential air fleet.

The recommendation comes a few months after three planes from the Presidential Air Fleet were pencilled down for sale.

But Obi described the move as unacceptable and a clear show of insensitivity to the suffering of the Nigerian people.

Reacting on his X handle on Monday, the former Anambra governor said it was rather unfortunate that at a time when the country was making headlines over the economic crisis, occasioned by hyperinflation, a falling currency and widespread poverty, the FG was contemplating securing new presidential jets.

He said, “This demonstrates extreme insensitivity to citizens’ struggles. With rising insecurity, poverty, hunger, and homelessness, this decision highlights the disconnect that is apparent between the government and the people. It is unacceptable as the situation in the country today more than ever demands a more compassionate use of resources, prioritising citizens’ welfare.

“It is on record that our presidential jets have an average age of 12 years, purchased when most Nigerians could afford necessities. Now, as our country faces significant challenges, including a high debt profile, our citizens are in even greater need. Instead of adding to our luxuries, we should be focused on alleviating their suffering and finding solutions to their problems.

“While we had earlier refurbished the old VP residence with $2m, the over 100-year-old US Vice President’s house has only undergone wide-scale renovations twice, funded by taxpayers’ money; in 1993 and 2021. Every new US VP is free to finance any minor refurbishing from his funds.

“It is, therefore, time to stop this impunity, insensitivity, and shamelessness and refocus on the needs of our people. We must prioritise education, healthcare, and lifting our citizens out of poverty. Let us work together to build a nation that truly serves its people, not just the interests of a few.”

JagabanB:
Tinubu wants to buy new jet?
Una get señsè so?

Na you wey no get sense.
https://punchng.com/presidency-obi-clash-over-new-presidential-jet/

Meanwhile Tinubu wants to buy new jet.

seunmsg:
You see this politics thing, leave am for Bola. E sabi die. Baba Obasanjo just dey rush Agbado wotowoto 🤣

Like Tinubu they sabi politics but to govern well them no sabi.

AbujaCitiBlog:
I dont know why some of you refuse to have sense. The idea is to increase the number of states for South East to Six. So, Anioma State is for South East not South South.

Na you wey no get sense see this mumÜ.
Did you not see many Anioma folks kicking against being joined with SE?

DMerciful:
How do you start dragging whether Anioma state should be in SS or SE that does not exist constitutionally?

The most important thing is that Anioma State is created in Nigeria.

Until we return to regional govt(very unlikely), we abide by the constitutional provision and not Alex Ekweume's thought

But SE have been agitating for a sixth state for long to balance up with other regions

DMerciful:
SE, SS, SW, NE etc are unconstitutional. Makes no meaning whatsoever

It is unconstitutional we know but still relevant in Nigeria politics and mind you Nigerians are debating returning to regional government .

Gerhards:
You are right and makes a lot of sense, we should support both

Exactly.

OfoIgbo:
The six geopolitical zones of Nigeria are not in the constitution, so what matters is just the creation of ANIOMA state.
The people of Anioma will choose the birds they wish to flock with.

Not at the expense of a 6th state in SE.

Objectivist04:
The proponents want the new state to be in south east, I don't think there will be any opposition to that

Even if anioma state fails, the best bet for igbos is Adada state that will bring in kogi and benue igbos into south east.
That just like anioma means additional population and additional land mass . We need to be strategic in this, further balkanizing the two smallest states (by land mass) in south east just doesn't make sense to me.

I am not against the proposal if they will be merged with SE.
