MartinCorridon: Nigeria doesn't have such leverage over Finland.
If I were them, will call their bluff.
Call their bluff because of who? You think Europeans are stupid.They will act according to their national interest. You think Finland will choose Simon Ekpa over Nigeria?You must be joking.
Tradepunter2: All you fking hypocrite..... But you cheer on when these same guys threatens Israel with icc and recognition of Palestine state..... Make Una dy play
Israeli government are killing and eliminating Hamas terrorist around the world, Simon Ekpa deserves same treatment.
gidgiddy: You think know Europe is backward Africa? You come and tell Finland to handover its own citizen to a third world country like Nigeria based on what? Laughable
The only reason Finaland have not acted against Simon Ekpa is because Nigeria is run by incompetent corrupt olodos.During election time Nigeria pressured Finland and Ekpa was briefly arrested and questioned and there is no way if Nigeria take the issue further and threaten to cut diplomatic relationship with them that they Finland will not throw Ekpa under the bus. Kurdish separatist who are citizens of Finland and some of them in their paliament whom Turkey considered as terrorist and demanded they should be deported back to Turkey both Finland and Sweden have complied in return for NATO membership.
SpatialKing: Severel Hamas terrorist wanted leaders have visited Nigeria in the past did Nigerian Government arrest them on behalf of the west? Instead Nigeria protected in Abuja
You can't ask for what you can't give
Turkey also supports Hamas financially and diplomatically more than Nigeria.
BossGerald: Others are saying no to orlu state, except that rep member that propose the bill and very few of his confused followers.
Come to Anambra and ask people, you can't be online talking bla bla bla.
6th state for southeast is not all about Orlu and some parts of Anambra I think that Hon Ugochinyere rushed that bill without due consultation with stakeholders.There are other parts of Igboland who are eagerly craving for a new state.Anambra is smallest state in southeast in terms of landmass and shouldn't be divided any further.
BossGerald: Nobody is dividing already small SE into any state.
All the SE states are among top ten smallest states in Nigeria and you want to divide it more??
Any additional state that isn't coming from Anioma, Adada or ikwerre is dead on arrival...period.
Yes I be Anambra
That is your opinion that is all.Others have their own opinion too.6th state is political agenda of ndi Igbo and they gonna get it unless Nigeria return to regional government..
BossGerald: No body is dividing already small se into any state.
Why can't you people live together in imo state??
What current advantage is orlu state to se?? The part of Anambra you're dreaming to add in your orlu state can never, I repeat never join you in your pipe dream
I did not mention Orlu state,the clamour for 6th state in SE have been on for decades.There was a time Adada,Etiti states was proposed. And by the way I not even from Imo talkless of being an Orlu man.The 6th state should be created where it is wanted.
Nigeria should threaten to cut diplomatic relationship with Finland if Simon Ekpa is not arrested and deported to Nigeria to face charges.This is why I like Turkey a no nonsense nation that told Finland and Sweden no NATO membership for una unless they stop supporting Turkish separatist in their countries and deport them back to to Turkey to faces trial.At the end they complied.
Adaisback: We want Anioma not orlu state. Don't knot UGA with orlu, it won't work. I stand with Anioma state . It's long over due. Anioma state all the way
Ada I think we should focus on how 6th state should be created out of current 5 states of southeast we should allow Anioma people to decide for themselves.You can see anti Igbo elements from Anioma who are suffering from identity crisis are already kicking against the idea as suggested by Senator Ned Nwoko.
saphiere: Reno Omokri, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, has come to the defense of President Bola Tinubu after a video surfaced of Tinubu slipping while climbing a military vehicle. Omokri shared a video of Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, also slipping, with a caption that highlighted the importance of empathy and understanding. By sharing the video, Omokri aimed to show that accidents can happen to anyone, regardless of age or status, and that mocking or ridiculing someone for a momentary lapse is unnecessary. "This Is Peter Obi Falling. I Never Mocked Him Then Because I Knew It Could Happen To Anybody, Even Me!", he said.
[quote author=Khyrvxjzy post=130437585]everyone love abiola but obedient hate him
this man fought for our democracy but obedient hating him is mystery[/quote
Is it Obidients that killed him? Me I like Abiola way more than thifnubü.He was a flamboyant multi billionaire politician and businessman and the pillar of sports in Africa. He was a very colourful human being.
seunmsg: Not a bad response. Anybody can trip and fall at anytime so it’s no big deal. We’ve seen several world leaders trip and fall so it’s nothing. In fact, it goes to show that our leaders are just humans like the rest of us.
It is true some world leaders like Biden do trip but I think he is the first Nigeria leader to do so if I am not wrong. OBJ,Yaradua,GEJ never did.
SoNature: The commission should get the Chief of Defence Staff to get rid of countless police and military checkpoints in the region. Between Enugu and Port Harcourt, there are over 50 checkpoints extortion points. No, I am not exaggerating it.
In short, the way soldiers order people to alight from their vehicles and trek past the military checkpoints will make you wonder if the region is at war.
So that ESN/UGM will completely take over our highways abi. Most of those military check points was extablished during GEJ/Ihejirika admin.
Tranquill: Anambra people see it as a demotion to be carved into Orlu State with other Igbos from Imo and Abia States.
They want to retain their “I am from Anambra” bragging rights they will usually deploy to oppress their other Igbo people from Imo, Abia, Enugu and particularly Ebonyi States. But, what I find interesting is that a lot of them are excited at the prospect of being carved into Anioma State that was mentioned by Ned Nwoko.
Is there something that I am not understanding?
The proposed ANIOMA STATE by Ned Nwoko did not include any part of Anambra state.So who is getting excited over joining Anioma state.
will continue to remind the Igbo youths that it is a contradiction to face the barrel of the gun inwards.
“The primary duty of a freedom fighter is to defend and protect his people, and not the contrary. It is inconceivable how the destruction of Igbo economy through the intermittent sit at home syndrome will resonate with the central philosophy and aspirations of the Igbo in the present Nigeria.
The above is the reason why IPOB is the most useless terrorist group in the world.They kill their own people to remain relevant.
TimeManager: The majority will go and leave the minorities who want to remain in Delta.
-Kiss the truth!
The majority will have their way while minority will have their say.Isn't it? Conduct referendum if ANIOMA will like to join SE over 80% will vote yes.
TimeManager: So you want to leave Asaba behind?. Lol. This is mission impossible, y'all know it.
-Kiss the truth!
Was Benin city not their capital before?Was it not taking out from them when Delta state was created? What is the difference if ANIOMA state is created with Asaba as its capital while the rest of Delta state will have their new capital in Warri or which ever city they choose.
TimeManager: What's the argument about?. Enugu being the capital was not taken out of Enugu, was it?
-Kiss the truth!
Is Asaba going to be taking out to where? It is same scenario.New state new capital.
Was Benin city not their capital before?Was it not taking out from them when Delta state was created? What is the difference if ANIOMA state is created with Asaba as its capital while the rest of Delta state will have their new capital in Warri or which ever city they choose.
TimeManager: IF Obigbo/Oyigbo are homogeneous ibos and would want to join their kith and kins but Anioma is not homogeneous ibos, there are other ethnicities that comprises Anioma. Almost every tribe had been carved into another parts through fiats in the past but it is never going to happen anymore in a democracy.
-Kiss the truth!
What if majority of Anioma people decides to join SE what can you or anybody do about it? At the end it is for them to decide.
TimeManager: Obigbo/Oyigbo is a subject of controversy. Besides, back then, states were created by the Military through fiat but such a thing can never happen in democracy, all the people have to agree to be together under a new state otherwise, it is dead on arrival.
-Kiss the truth!
And today Obigbo people are now so called southsouth even though there parents were either born as Imo state citizens or East Central state citizens.Anioma people should be allowed to decide where they belong.Tomorrow if Obigbo people decided to rejoin southeast you will start crying that they belong to southsouth.
TimeManager: Honourable Ikenga who raised the motion for an Orlu state on the floor of the house was easier because the homogeneous people of ibos from neighbouring communities would be carved together into a single state. The opinion of Senator Ned on facebook was only building a castle in the air. Heterogeneous people of different ethnicities cannot be carved together and then pass them off as ibos under a SE state.
-Kiss the truth!
The heaven did not fall when Obigbo LGA was carved out from old Imo state and join them with Rivers state and same thing with part of Egbema in Imo state.Are you even from the proposed ANIOMA state,why are you crying bitterly?
TimeManager: Asaba is the state capital, it is impossible to carve out the capital into another state of a different region.
-Kiss the truth!
Enugu was capital of old Anambra state and yet it was carved out of it and Enugu state was created.It will not be the first.Abia and Imo was in same state before with Owerri as capital.
kedeojo: In your honest submission, did Obi win any zone in the north and south west. If he didn't win, how did he now win the last election. He lost woefully in all the core northern states and it was expected because he ran the election on religion and those states are majorly Muslims. For him to be trying to win their heart now, shows he knows he didn't even get the 25 percent required up there. You can be president of Nigeria for now, with out winning either north west or south west. He even lost the two and north central and north east too. Him and his fellow igbos knew he lost but want to use propaganda to his advantage but didn't work. Even if you win south south and south east 100 percent which hr didn't, it can't make you president. I was shocked that he didn't even tender evidence of vote but relying on certificate forgery and drug case in faraway America.
You rig election and have the boldness to claim he did not win just like Wike dashed Rivers state to Tinubu who ordinarily won't get 5k votes in Rivers for a ministerial position at the expense of Peter Obi.The same rigging happened everywhere.
God1blessBiafra: If you have not evidence then die the matter.
You're the one that called Mefor OSU.
Maybe you should check English meaning of outcast.
Him being there from day one is the main reason he will feel more pains and say unpleasant things about the group.
Or did he admit to have eaten human meat when he was member?
If no,how come it suddenly started after he was outcast?
Mefor is not saying anything new.Are we not witnessing the atrocities ipob perpetuate on daily basis? Some captured on videos and are avaliable online.Dr Chike Akunyili was murdered on the streets of Onitsha in the glaring eyes of the public when ipob was trying to intimidate ndi Anambra to enforce no election in that state.
