Nigeria just invented a new kind of Terrorist, "a powerful terrorist that has never taken a single life".

Even America that leads the war on terrorism will laugh at us when they hear that IPOB is a terrorist organization. A govt that has not worn any law suit against local politicians in its own court want to take on a mass movement. Why is this govt so poor in strategic thinking, it believes it can dismantle an idea that survived the civil war by sending hungry python to dance naked in the East.

Mtcheeeeew.. How did I end up with some of you fhuckers in the same country..

The house was built in 1976.. That makes it 40 years old plus. And remember it's a commercial building meaning it's had more use than a private residence.

None of you have any information on the structural integrity of the building yet you are all cursing the Governor. The same you Guys will travel overseas and come and be telling us stories and sharing photographs of fine buildings you took pictures inside. Yet when you return here you will all run out with machetes to stop the Government from moving a Market away from the Center of town.

If that building collapses tomorrow, you people will start shouting how government is inefficient of how the dead people were used for election sacrifice.

The person that posted that nonsense and her family are in the United States.. If that building collapses and kills anybody, they will just lock up and not return to even help bury the dead.

Please some of you need to start using your brains more. Poverty is not an excuse to be foolish.

Does that warrant demolition without notice or compensation, should all 40yr old buildings in the country be demolished without concrete evidence of structural defect? How can a sensible govt pull down a widow's source of income based on verbal notice.

This Gov has become a curse to his own people. Why does power intoxicate this much?

This ignorant man in Imo should know that any alliance between any 2 major ethnic group against the 3rd will succeed. If the position switches between Igbos and Hausa, they will still win. He is busy selling off his people in order to gain votes from the north for his presidential ambition but his failure will be catastrophic.

This man is becoming a great embarrassment. How was the Governor of old Anambra state determined when Enugu was under Anambra? Was C C Onoh who was former governor of Anambra not from Enugu? It's one thing to campaign for Buhari who has ended up a failure and another thing to root for a faulty status quo called Nigeria federation.

Shows he has also lost interest in Buhari, if this was 2015 he would have said "they will beg Buhari to run even if he doesn't want to".

The Mod that still hides this thread in obscurity should be ashamed of himself. How long shall we cower in fear and intimidation? Thisis crass madness from the govt. It amazes me that this same strategy that couldn't keep the SE down for 50yrs even in military dictatorship is still allowed to persist. News like keeps pushing neutral minds towards IPOBs ideology.

The south east all put their eggs in one basket and lost, and they are are shouting marginalization. their's is a case of someone who ate his cake and wanted to have it at the same time. IMPOSSIBLE!

Be careful, wishing for a winner takes all could come back to hurt, it's SE today but could be yours next. An injustice to one should be injustice to all else there is no nation.

If this is not a propaganda then I fear for this country, the earlier this tactless gov't quenched this raging Fire the better for all of us.

The problem of Buhari is poor education, the only power he knows is the barrel of gun, am sure he knows nothing about alternatives dispute resolution. Else he would have known that the pen can be mightier than sword, gun or bomb.

The poor education of the north is a threat to us all if not how can an educated group view referendum as war mongering?

Why is the North so much afraid of IPOB? Why are they so much afraid of an armless group wwhile silent on Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram. It's obvious the non violent posture of IPOB has incapacitated the Fulani controlled FG.

About 5yrs ago I sat with this couple in church at Magodo and they looked so lovely, what could have gone so bad. I was admiring them in my heart wishing to have a family like his. Am so disappointed in what has become of them.

See this girl with ugly past is criticizing another person, you are Lucky am not like you. Am surprised your opinion is even making a headline. How can you throw stones from your glass house?

Does it show real time view or old pictures? If old pictures, how old are they? Answers will be appreciated.

The amount is outrageous but it's a lesson for those that engage in media trial and assassination of character.

These communities are the riverine people. I know Igbedor is mostly Igala but the other communities I think are mostly Igbos. They are underdeveloped because of the difficult terrain and their location is kinda-off out of sight. Most of their business is Agriculture,so farmland are valued. I never saw it that they are marginalized but they are minorities so it's possible. I visited Umueleum(not sure of the spelling) 13yrs ago and their road was very bad. I don't know if that has changed. Riverine Anambrians need good roads and a link road to the upper land will make the area appeal to investors. Obiano please take note.

You are on point, the OP has a valid point regarding infrastructure but not on the ethnicity. I know the terrain very well, the only motorable road there is Umueze-Mmaita road which was started by Obi and completed by Obiano. The other major road is a federal highway linking Onitsha to Kogi and Abuja which is still technically dead.

However the OP must avoid misinformation on social makeup of the area.

The major issue I have with the OP is the deliberate misinformation on the components of Igala area in Anambra. Nzam is the only Igala town while the entire villages of Anam he listed has nothing to do with Igala apart from the fact that they are in same LGA. I doubt if the OP is from the area in question otherwise he would have known that Igala constitutes less than 10% of the local govt let alone the state. It's a height of Ignorance to say that Anam and Okpanam stopped being Igala after the war.

I however agree that the area is far behind in infrastructural development

This is the biggest lie of the year, I guess Unilag now has a lie dept.

If you think it's normal having one individual alone as the Head of the executive then you should go further to ask for the office of the VP to be permanently scraped.

What happens if Osinbajo too becomes indisposed, if Osinbajo is doing Buhari's job, who is doing Osinbajo's original work?

Nigeria has a monster to deal with, some people think it's just Ipob, if Biafra goes Nigeria dies. Let's restructure this country. Who in his right sense believes that Benue state, Plateau and Southern Kaduna will be better of with Fulani if Biafra goes, even Lagos will pull out let alone Niger Delta.

The task should be how to enthrone fairness and justice rather than coercion and injustices we currently experience

Very funny thieves at every corner. They budgeted 15billion in 2016 for 2nd Niger bridge but released nothing yet have the gut to disturb our ears here as if they cared. The little left in 2017 may also not be released.

The failure to restructure Nigeria by my father's generations is the result of the crises my generation is suffering now, if this my generation fails to restructure the country our children will suffer a much worse fate.

IBB and the band of 1960 generation failed to do the right thing, they thought they had every thing especially the media under control, they never imagined the advent of social media which is hurting their image so badly. The current generation of leaders are toying same path, Turning deaf ears to cry for restructuring but in a few years to come the coming gegeneration will ask them a question they will regret to their grave.

We shall all remain in a circle of conflict if we fail to change this wasteful formula of governance. Boko Haram is fading off just like Sharia violence of 15yrs ago and its likes but a worse fate is ahead.

I can't believe this guy masterminded the biggest robbery operation I have ever seen. I remember vividly the robbery operations at Nsukka, they robbed about 4 banks along university road, burnt down a police station and threw money in the air after the operation. Most UNN students hid in fear as the rain of bullets lasted for hours. This man should be properly punished.

The agitation has taken a dimension that's dangerous for Nigeria, if the govt keeps pretending that all is well, I can only say " there was a country". Am only surprised with supposedly educated people who think succession is tantamount to war, whenever Biafra is mentioned they respond with war threat yet foolishly tells an Igbo man to return to the East before making a demand.

At OP, great write up but Ill say the biggest mistake of Buhari was arresting Nnamdi Kalu, the govt indirectly made an unknown Nnamdi the face of Biafra. Biafra agitation was led by unemployed Massob but Kalu now has the attention of both the educated and the uneducated, that's a danger to Nigeria.

People like me are still on the fence but if Nigeria fails to restructure, they should expect bigger issues ahead. Enough of the pretence, the South East is marginalized.

Great one from Osinbajo. This road together with 2nd Niger bridge are the most politicized project in Nigeria.

The earlier the Nigerian govt realised what is cooking the better for this country. Enough of living in denial, this is beyond propaganda, the message is crystal clear.

This man is Tinubu's worst political investment. I remember him boasting during campaign that Osun does not need FG to survive, today Osun is almost bankrupt through his wasteful social projects.

How power easily intoxicate, what will she do when she becomes the first lady of Nigeria, to disband CAN? She's probably trying to prove to the man of God that afterall she too is a pastor. Pastor Taiwo better be careful because these politicians could set him up with either money or women to fight back and tarnish his image.

How can your husband be the custodian of Lagos tenancy law yet you gave a family man and a Pastor of your chaplain 24hrs quit notice, that's too mean and power display.

If this robot gets to Nigeria, the first thing it'll learn is how to collect bribe at checkpoints.

Glad that these are rural projects, let the masses feel govt presence not only urban beautification.
