Hiding in a hole?

By Joseph Erunke ABUJA-

THE Defence Headquarters, Friday, declared that it does not know the whereabouts of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

This came as it asked citizens not to panic over hitherto October 1st deadline given the Ibos by a group of Northern youths to vacate the region, saying the threat was no longer effective. The DHQ which said contrary to some reports,it did not raid the IPOB leader’s home, said it was not the place of the military to declare Kanu wanted.

The DHQ equally explained that it was constrained to move special military operations against the dreaded herdsmen because they were neither visible nor carry out their activities under an open or known group.

Director of Defence Information, Major General John Enenche, who addressed the media at the Defence Headquarters, denied that Nnamdi Kanu was in military custody. ” Nnamdi Kanu is not in the custody of the military,”he declared. On whether the military would declare Kanu wanted since his whereabouts is unknown, Enenche said:”It is not the responsibility of the military to declare Nnamdi Kanu wanted.” Enenche also said contrary to reports in some quarters, the military did not proscribed IPOB, just as he said due process was followed in the group’s proscription. “The military did not proscribe IPOB. Due process was followed to proscribe it.

The job of the military was to diagnose security issues and warned the public of consequences and that is part of our media operations. “We did our media operations very well, otherwise that weekend would have been the longest weekend in this country and we are also very careful choosing our words and we know the law very well, “he added. He also denied that the military troops on Operation Python Dance raided Kanu’s home. Hear him:” Nobody raided Kanu’s home and I stand to be justified, not from the information I got. I was watching it live, I was monitoring it live and also speaking with them on the ground. “The people that came out there that I saw were the Biafra security service and Biafra National Guard. ”

I think I later confirmed that there was nothing to actually justify them legally to mount roadblocks. I saw the militancy, nobody told me and I saw the action there. We are still investigating.” He spoke on the post military operations in the South East thus:”For the past couple of days since the operation started, the feedback I have been getting from that place is that yes, they are happy. “Some of them were actually afraid even before the operation started not from our troops but from the people that we actually getting them fighting, people that are actually intimidating them. But now, they have a lot of relief. “We have our sources of information as information outfits of the armed forces.

We also get information from the general public using our own sources as a form of checks and balances.” Enenche said the country was not militarized contrary to the position of some people. “Other countries passed through this, if you go into history, before getting to where they are as developed countries today. “Like in China, you see one policeman inside a car, you hardly see a military man outside and it depends on the developmental process and what you passed through. “That’s why in simple terms, I will tell you that we are not alarmed at all. “For example, the last terrorist attack in the UK, 24 hours after the attack, the government asked the military to take over the area. ” If the UK government can tell the military to take over, to back up the Police, I think we are just about 100 years old of amalgamation and we about 57 years old, it’s not out of place, “he stressed.

He expressed disappointment over the position of some legal practitioners on military involvement in the IPOD issue just as h said some of them got it right in his assessment of various contributions to the issue. “Of course, there will be competing demands on who is to do what by the military, the executive, the legislature they are all arms of the government and they all have responsibilities,”he said. ”The statement that came through me is not at par at all with what the Chief of Army Staff came out to clarify. People had mindset and they were In a hurry to attack the military because of their mindset and because of that it is a pity to say that somehow some people lost their reputation,”he clarified. He said the various operations and exercises under the Defence Headquarters were being sustained in the North East, North West, North Central, South West, South South and South Eastern parts of Nigeria.

He also said troops of Operation RESTORE DEMOCRACY in the Gambia have been rotated. ”The contingent earned the operational medal, due to their outstanding performance. A new set has been inducted into the mission (ECOMIG). The Defence Headquarters, according to Enenche,” reaffirmed the unalloyed loyalty of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari.” It also reaffirmed “total subordination of the Nigerian Military to constituted civil authorities,complete dedication of the military to its constitutional roles as well as dedication of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to the protection of lives and property of all peace loving people where ever they live in Nigeria.

I believe Cable TV is a thing of the past

It’s a lie. Photoshop!

This looks like a pistol to me. Stupidity is when confront an army battalion with a pistol.

Kanu didn't manage his fame properly. Instead of building strong institutions around his support and gather more support from the ruling class in the SE/SS, he was busy dishing out threat to individuals.

We are all aware that Kanu is somewhere in Nigeria trying to hide his head from the head prefect. I won't say he is a coward per see for this, but I believed he disappointed his followers by not walking the talk.

The Abia State Governor stated that “there will be gradual withdrawal of soldiers on the streets of Aba and Umuahia from tomorrow”. This should not be misconstrued as withdrawing of troops earmarked for Exercise EGWU EKE II. The GOC 82 Division has not said such thing.

Too long

Hahaha...Senator of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF ZOO ....Jokers everywhere

Histrionic personality disorder.......seek help

The police in Abia state has arraigned 10 members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) before a magistrate court in Umuahia. The IPOB members, the police said were arrested for instigating a clash between the group and soldier of the 14 Brigade Ohafia on Monday, September 4, at the popular Isigate in Umuahia. The suspects - 10 tricycle (Keke Napep) operators - were arraigned before Chief Magistrate L. Ugbaja on an eight-count charge bordering on conspiracy to commit felony to wit, riotous assembly.

The offence, NAIJ.com gathered, is punishable under section 516A of the criminal code law cap 80, Vol- 3 laws of Abia state 2005. The suspects include: Maduka Okoro, 42; Kelechi C. Okoro 29; Onyekachi Eyera 33; David Eke 38; Udochukwu Omekara 34 and Chinedu Ogbonna, 25. Others are Chukwudi Mmesoroonye, 24; Okwudiri Nwagwu, 41; Ihedigbo Monday, 45 and Sunday Eze, 25.

Other charges leveled against the suspects include; act to commit a misdemeanor and malicious damage to property; taking part in riotous act; willfully and unlawfully breaking the wind shield of a Hilux vehicle property of the Nigerian army; resisting arrest and injuring a private soldier Eze Kenneth. But in his argument, counsel to the suspects G. I. Chionye said the soldiers have no business being at Isigate extorting money from motorists. Chinonye while applying for bail also argued that the offence is bailable.

Having heard the argument, the Chief Magistrate the suspects bail of N400,000 each and sureties whom will produce the same amount of money. The Chief Magistrate also ordered that the sureties must tender before the court evidence of three years tax clearance. He further adjourned the matter to Monday, September 18, for hearing. NAIJ.com earlier reported that there was a clash between soldiers and some members of the IPOB at the Isigate in Umuahia. The clash began after a disagreement between the soldiers at the checkpoint and a commercial tricycle operator. Members of the IPOB said the soldiers shot at and injured some individuals who had remained peaceful at the scene of the clash. They also appealed to the Nigerian Army to release their members who were arrested by the soldiers during the clash.

imagine people saying what's Op's biz with d lady? when it's been clearly stated they are blood-related. I give up on some NLanders sense of reasoning.

meanwhile, the problem is her attitude and it's already evident since u claimed her ex left her for that sole reason. so,unless she changes that,she might find herself to be among a group of folks I will call 'the old ladies',coz even if she marries, there is no guarantee it's gonna last.

You don't understand, many of these ladies are unmarried and are close to (or more than) 29. They are simply venting their anger on the poor guy. What else will they do?

It may not be as good as the REAL thing,but the BEST GPS or Camera is still the One you have with YOU at ALL times and for that REASON,Smartphones TOTALLY replaced these items..or are you going to suspend taking THAT perfect Opportune picture until you can go and grab your Digital Camera..

To me, GPS navigator is not made irrelevant because I have one app on my phone. A navigator is so important that I had to buy a cheap for about $120 some months back. If you are in a new city and you don't know your way around, don't rely on your smartphone, get a functional GPS navigator.

Professional photographers don't rely on their smartphone to take pictures, they get those expensive Cameras. It makes a lot of difference.

In that case Messi should throw away all his Balon D'or trophies.

Nigeria's Igbo Jews: 'Lost tribe' of Israel? - CNN

A Shabbat service is underway at the Ghihon Hebrew Research synagogue in the Jikwoyi suburb of Nigeria's federal capital territory.
Fourteen year-old Kadmiel Izungu Abor heads there with his family. They walk alongside stray goats on a road covered in red dust and potholes, lined with open sewage. They are nearly 20 kilometers away from the modern multi-story office buildings and sprawling mansions in Nigeria's capital city of Abuja.
About 50 people gather in the synagogue. They pray from the Siddur, they read from the Torah and as they chant, Abor's mellow alto begins to rise.
In a country of 162 million people tensions often lead to violent uprisings between Christians and Muslims and being part of the religious minority can be an issue. But Abor wears his kippah and his identity with pride.
"I am a Jewish Igbo," he says.
The Igbo are one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups with population estimates ranging from 20 to 50 million. Abor is convinced that the Igbo's ancestors were Jews.
"The son of Yaakov, Jacob, [was] Gad and I learned that he was among those people who went out of Israel to exile," Abor says. "So from there he had a son called Eri and a son gave birth to a son called Aguleri and that's how the Igbo race began."

From generation to generation, some Igbo have passed down various versions of a migration story framed around Jacob, a patriarch of Judaism. A popular version of the narrative holds that Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, had three sons who settled in present-day southeastern Nigeria, which is predominantly inhabited by the Igbo. Those sons, Eri, Arodi and Areli (as mentioned in the book of Genesis), are said to have fathered clans, established kingdoms and founded towns still in existence in southeastern Nigeria today, including Owerri, Umuleri, Arochukwu and Aguleri.

Eze A.E. Chukwuemeka Eri, the king of a community in Aguleri, claims he presides over the throne of Gad's son, Eri.
Wearing a white shirt with the Star of David stitched on the front, King Eri points to a calendar on the wall of his palace that lists the names of his 33 predecessors. He has no doubts that Eri is his ancestor. He has even acquired land to establish an educational center for the study of Jewish culture.
"Israelites and Igbos are brothers," he says with a broad smile.
King Eri, like many, claims that the Igbo are the Jews of West Africa. They believe they are descendants of at least one of Israel's lost tribes. In the eighth century B.C. the Assyrians invaded Israel's northern kingdom forcing 10 tribes into exile. Historians say it is not unlikely that these tribes migrated westward to Africa.
Throughout history, large populations of dispersed Jews also became "lost" through forced conversions and cultural assimilation.
"There is evidence that is scientific that the Igbos descended from the people that evolved in Israel," says Remy Ilona. He began investigating the stories from his youth more than a decade ago.
"When I grew up I heard, like virtually every Igbo here, that the Igbo people came from Israel," the Abuja-based lawyer says. His field work in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Mali led him to conclude that Igbo and Jewish culture are not just similar, but "identical."
In his latest book, Ilona draws parallels between Igbo rituals and customs and those practiced by Jews. Shared traditional practices include circumcising male children eight days after birth, refraining from eating "unclean" or tabooed foods, mourning the dead for seven days, celebrating the New Moon and conducting wedding ceremonies under a canopy. Some historians have noted that the Igbo were practicing these customs before their exposure to the Bible and missionaries.
Daniel Lis, from the Institute for Jewish Studies, University of Basel, Switzerland, is one of the foremost researchers on Jewish identification among the Igbo. He says there has been a clear continuity of Jewish identity among the Igbo. "It's not just something that happened yesterday," he says.
The Swiss-Israeli anthropologist says that Igbo-Jewish identity can be traced back to the 18th century. Cross-cultural comparisons have been documented by people ranging from George Thomas Basden, the influential Anglican missionary and ethnographer who proposed that the word "Igbo" evolved as a corruption of the word "Hebrew," to Olaudah Equiano, a freed Igbo slave living in 18th century British society.

The oral stories and historic notations of cultural resemblances between the Igbo and the Jews have proven compelling enough to lure a diverse array of people to southeastern Nigeria.Michael Freund, an American Jew based in Israel, is planning his first trip to Nigeria to get a first-hand look at the culture of the Igbo.
"I've read about them but of course there is nothing like actually hearing the stories of the people themselves," he says.
Discovering "lost" Jewish communities around the world is what Freund does.
He is the founder and chairman of the independent non-profit organization Shavei Israel. According to its media spokesperson Arik Puder, Shavei Israel is the only organization in Israel that focuses on finding descendants of the legendary lost tribes.
He says the Israeli government does not recognize ethnic communities in various countries claiming to be descendants of lost tribes.
"They cannot prove that they have a Jewish grandfather or grandmother," Puder says. "But they do have an interesting story."
Freund says he has received numerous letters and emails from Nigerians trying to connect to Israel. But with a rising number of groups around the world attempting to link their ancestry to the ancient Israelites, he is aware that some of those claims are "wishful thinking." He hopes that the future will yield strong genetic evidence to help the search for the lost tribes.
"As DNA technology improves there will be a growing stock of scientific evidence which can perhaps buttress the claims of an Israeli ancestry," he says.
A 2012 documentary called "Re-Emerging: The Jews of Nigeria" featured the country's Jewish community.
The film featured Rabbi Howard Gorin. He retired from the congressional rabbinate in 2012 after 32 years as the spiritual leader of a Jewish congregation in the U.S. state of Maryland. Gorin has played a significant role in the rise of Judaism in Nigeria since his first trip to the country in 2004.
"I embrace them and support them as brothers and sisters," he says. He ships books on Judaism to synagogues in Nigeria.

More support comes from groups like Kulanu, a New York-based non-profit group. Kulanu assists emerging Jewish communities around the world, like the one in Nigeria. But most of the Igbo who practice Judaism were not born to a Jewish mother and have not converted according to halakhah, Jewish law, so many Orthodox Jews would not recognize them.
Even among Igbo people, the claim to be Jews elicits strong criticism. One critic, Catherine Acholonu, attributes Jewish identification among the Igbo as a result of Christianity brought by missionaries, since most Igbo people are Christians.
"Everybody is excited to say they belong to the people of the Bible because the Bible is reigning -- it's in," says Acholonu, a prominent researcher on Igbo history and culture.
In her award-winning book "They Lived Before Adam" Acholonu proposes that Igbo civilization is older than that of the Israelites.
She feels that Igbo people are whitewashing their history and diminishing the value of their own culture by attempting to link their heritage to the Jews.
Peter Agbai, who says he is a "proud Igbo man," strongly disagrees.
He started practicing Judaism in 1991 after leaving the Methodist church. He says that the more he followed the commandments in the Torah, the more he realized that he was doing what his parents had always done as followers of traditional Igbo culture and spirituality.
"I have seen that the traditions of our people are similar to those in the Bible," says the 66-year-old, making references to aspects like ritual bathing and polygamy.
Agbai is one of the founders of the Ghihon synagogue. He plays an important role as a spiritual leader in Abuja's community of Igbo Jews. He attended Abor's bar mitzvah last year, an experience that Abor says made him feel like a man, and feel closer to the Jewish culture.
He wants to go deeper into Orthodox Judaism and take a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
"I want to live in Israel," Abor says. He hopes that there, he will get a better understanding of his forefathers.

"Both gambling and lotteries are presented as games, and the risk of losing is well known in both. I would say an essential element of a Ponzi scheme is deception, as it is a loss presented as a guaranteed win. Ponzi schemes present themselves as safe investments with guaranteed returns, not as games of chance where both a win and a loss are possible. Thus, I think it would be unwise to refer to gambling or lotteries as a Ponzi scheme, when in fact it's the exact opposite."

When any Ponzi scheme start to change goal post, know say wahala dey!

I sincerely think ponziponzi is doing a great job. These Ponzi schemes owners are mostly heartless scammers. I remember very clearly how MMM said there'll be a December bonus of I think 40%, people rushed to put millions to benefit from the bounty. Then days later the system crashed. They maximised the gains then, and termed it freeze, other Ponzi sites call it maintainance, while other outrightly blame unseen enemies like Ponzi hater. Good bless you Ponzi Ponzi at least you are warning people before it happens, unlike another analyst who comes to paint sweet sounding words immediately the system crashes.

MMM will crash in weeks, and don't ever say u weren't warned.

Shun Ponzi Schemes.

Thank you, sgtponzihater1. What else can we do for humanity? The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The hottest part of hell is reserved for those guilders. How can men be this wicked, they all know that this thing is going down but they still don't care. All they can think about is the bonus they will get. How can someone make himself/herself as a tool to defraud their innocent countrymen?
