Our problems in this country are just few and can be resolved without any violence...

North is stil our major problem, those jihadists still think violence is the answer to every problem..that's the height of it all...

no be by gra gra., they threaten everything even their fellow cows.

Igbochief001:
Wike is from ikwerre ...and they are benefiting from Nigeria present structure

Most of this big minority tribes , anag ,efik , ibibio ,ikwerri , uhrobo , Benin all have little or no oil but control the large oil money given to their states ...apart from ijaws the rest are land locked with little or no oil

They try as much to suppress the real oil producers like oron ,ibono , obolo ,opobo , bonny ,nkoro , bile , anioma , oyigbo ,ekpye and the rest

So when Igbos call for restructuring they are against it , they know it would expose them , it would remove food from their mouth ,

Truth is Nigeria problem is complex ...wish igbos can just be given kudish kind of government in Nigeria let's stay on our own with our own government n army

Pls why are igbos carrying other people problem on dir head? Did those minority tribe complain to u people? Focus on developing ur land locked area which by the way is less than jigawa state in the north and allow us to breath.

Newzik:
While most people may not be comfortable with the activities of IPOB which have been largely peaceful, it's rather considered too hasty for Wike to ban IPOB and place bounty on an individual when other state governors are still setting up committees to investigate the situation. Wike no doubts rides on the benefits of cases Ipobs are making daily, keeping Nigerian government excesses on its toes and drawing attention of the global community.
IPOB as a watchdog is an offshoot of threadbare injustices southeast and South South have borne for a long time. Wike should tread with caution not to be used by the enemy. He should learn from Oshiomhole and Tinubu. Betrayal is like over-speeding, it thrills but pays badly in the long run. While some elements may disguise as IPOB to cause chaos, it's too hasty to make unguarded utterance you may regret when the enemy comes for you. We must have unity of purpose, defend our own and keep quiet when unsure. Nigeria's theory now is dog-eat-dog.

TooMuchStuff:
U again...! Every demographic data...bla bla bla !
Is demographic data same as religious dichotomy data?
SS 99% Christians
SE 100% Christians
SW 70% Christians
NC 70% Christians
NW 30% Christians
NE 42% Christians

So have you added this "demographic data" too?

Muslims are loud and violent minority who uses any political advantage to advance the course of strictly Muslim domination like Buhari is doing now. While any Christians in power always play fairness and justice to all.
Christians are silent Majority. Take note

MhisTahrah:
Lagos will eventually be rebuilt, it may take time and plenty of resources but can the lives lost at Lekki toll gate ever be recovered?Will they ever get justice with this constant denial of fatalities?

3Ceagle:
My friend will you shut up, how will the Ibos destroy where they have huge investment? Common sense is not common. Better help fish out those who participated in the crisis rather than looking for somebody to blame with your false narratives.

Am from the middle belt region, and I tell you, a United south is unshakable, we stand with you too...

kunlesufyan:
Recent happenings proves that Nigeria's problem is her leaders. Yorubas fighting Igbos is a total waste of time.

teacherbim:
he was not touched by the angry youth because he is not one of the useless ones

Ikorodurealtor:
What's all this tribalism about?
Who in his right senses would reject a Good talk because the person that said it isn't from his/her tribe?
That's foolishness to me.

Same way they are saying it's igbos that looted and burnt places in Lagos.
Playing the tribalistic games to distablize the calls for the end to bad governance and protests.

Nigerians wake up and stop falling for tribal sentiments.

jesusjnr2020:
As I said earlier to someone else, you don't have to believe it for it to be true.

By the way, this happened way back in 2003.

If it were you, I'm sure you'd remember everything.

Good cops have nothing to fear !

Rabiu Garba is the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at Fegge Onitsha. He built a borehole for the neighbourhood without any fund raising.

He organizes soccer tournaments for the youths of Fegge at their stadium where he also goes to play table tennis weekly.

For Rabiu Garba, Fegge is his home. Fegge is his community.

He has attended almost every church and every event in the area as he is invited because he is accepted as one of them.

When the rampaging youths came to burn his Police Division yesterday, he neither fought nor fled.

While his men were panicked, he walked out to meet the mob with the courage of a man who had nothing to fear.

They recognized him and the angry chants were silenced! Most of the youths could vouch for him as a professional cop and a role model for many young men in the community.

They even granted him audience to address and counsel them before the mob dispersed.

It had nothing to do with his tribe or religion he is just a model cop

jesusjnr2020:
The Day I Faced Police brutality For Preaching The Gospel Of Christ on The Streets Of Abuja

This actually took place in the outskirts of the FCT, Karu-site to be precise. It was after I had just began preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God with my megaphone on the streets, sometime in 2003, as I had often done since the beginning of that year.

All of a sudden, I saw a man get up from a bench he was seating on close by, come close to me and ordered someone else, a guy to take me, but they were both on mufti.

While I was yet wondering what was going on, someone else, another guy, came and said he was going to follow me to wherever they were taking me, to see what they up to and probably to stand as a witness, because he didn't see anything wrong in what I was doing. In fact he was already attentive waiting to hear what I had to say before the interruption.

Although I was moved by the gesture, it appeared to offend the men as they now, I think, handcuffed the both of us with one handcuff, and dragged us to the Karu-site Police Station which was just close by which confirmed that they were actually policemen.

But when we arrived at the Station, instead of taking us to its reception so we could be properly interrogated, they took us somewhere hidden, at the back the back of the Station, probably a room where they torture some of those they arrest, to show that the arrest was ulterior motivated and unwarranted.

Then once we had entered into the room, and the man who brought us there had leveled some accusations, which I can't remember, against me before the policemen inside the room, and the supposed offense of the other guy which was his decision to follow me, they began to brutalize us.

It wasn't that seriously though, but we had received a few slaps and blows to our body and our heads were hit together.

I can remember after one of them slapped me, i turned the other cheek for him, but he rejected the offer and still slapped me on the same cheek.

One of the policemen, probably their boss there appeared not to find any fault in what we had done that warranted our arrest, so was casually telling them to release us.

After they had stopped hitting us, one of them, the same who rejected my offer of the other cheek, compared us to Paul and Silas. He jokingly said something about both of us praying like Paul and Silas, and imagining what it would be like if the same thing which happened to the prison they were happened to the Police Station.

Not long after that they released us, so our brief stay there seemed to end on a lighter note since it was clear that we hadn't committed any offence that warranted our arrest. However by then, the guy who arrested us had already left, but before he left he had given me a stern warning me not to see me doing what I did again, which was to preach the Gospel of Christ on the streets of Abuja, otherwise I would see what he'd do to me.

To be honest, I was quite shaken a bit by his threat since it was the first time I got arrested and persecuted for such, but that wasn't enough to deter me as I continued preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom on the same streets probably that same day, and continued doing that for a while.

Although it was an experience which I took in my stride as part of what comes with the life i'd begun to live for the sake of the Gospel of Christ, because Jesus had already warned us that we would face such brutality for His Gospel and namesake, that doesn't justify what the policemen had done or absolve them of their wrongdoing.

And this took place as far back as 2003 during the tenure of Obasanjo to show that police brutality didn't begin today or with this government as some think, but has been here for a long time. It's only gotten worse over time.

Hence the #endpolicebrutality protest is a very welcome development, and perhaps long overdue, because the essence of the Police Force is not brutality but the security of lives and properties.

God bless Nigeria.

Lol, I'm not ibo.

I read what she wrote and it makes sense.

It doesn't mean.
After all I'm a fan of Zulum

Seerade029:
Lol

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for president.

Honestly, if Buhari read this speech to everyone.
Most Nigerians will applaud him.

ScotMisile:
As many that have chosen to lie against the helpless Dead,may you die their death a thousand times on Earth and in Hell....Amen Amen Amen!!!

ProfAmaben:
Are you a Nigerian? If Yes, do you have any power after voting?

Did you see underaged Almajiris that voted in 2015? Are northerners the only people in Nigeria?

Let them rule themselves, we don't mind, leave the Southern Nigeria alone. Leave our resources, leave our food, leave our brains.

ProfAmaben:
2023 presidential election may mark the end of Nigeria.

We are tired of the Northern hegemony.

Kleptomaniacs.

SLAP44:
Northerners are always happy to see massive destruction in the south. They have been online floating many threads to mock the south about a destruction they started when they sent hoodlums to disrupt the protest.

We must have the names of the commander and the shooters at Lekki toll gate.

The south should beware of the north.

SLAP44:
Buharri can rule you till 2099, the north can become Yemen while the south start to chase Dubai and Singapore.

That is why we are asking that the south must separate from the north. You can restrict your wicked policies to your compound and not drag the South West, South South, Middle Belt and South East down with you.

Yujin:
Adamawa, Taraba, Kogi, Nasarawa, Plateau and Benue.

Yujin:
Lies... northern Christians are majority in at least 5 states. They have substantial population in at least 3 other states. You can only deceive those who don't know.

Ogonimilitant:
Can you please remove middle belt states from that your 19 states?
Middle belt is not part of the North. When they want their ptotest they will do it as middle belt.

The core north can not use the middle belt again.
They are confortable with the south

VeeVeeMyLuv:
This their religion, they don't know the extent of damage it has done to them yet

Sirmwill:


This US way of punishing electoral offenders is sweet ooo

Before we know it,only the lower and middle class will be able to go to the US

Its Trump is having their time now...sheleee stupid ni?

Awol1:
Check with who?

When the Governor who is the state Chief security is saying that the guy was wrongly murdered.

What we know about the guy's acceptance of amnesty and dropping of arms, is it not coming from the Governor?

Awol1:
So are you saying the army was right to have killed a man who surrendered and dropped arms?

Awol1:
Nigeria's Fulani army eliminated the only threat to their subduing of the Benue people.

What happened was a revenge killing. Because nothing justifies the murder of someone who has accepted amnesty and surrendered arms; which the governor said all security agents were made aware of.

But the Fulani should hear this, that a thousand "Gana" shall rise from that land.

Fools!

No fewer than two Hausa indigenes resident at Oyigbo in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State are feared dead when suspected members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) attacked their base in Oyigbo.

Eye witness account had it that suspected irate IPOB members had on Saturday and Sunday launched coordinated attacks on Hausa residents in Oyigbo.

The eye witness said two persons were feared dead while two other persons sustained serious injury.

“The incident, which looks like a coordinated attack started on Saturday and extended to Sunday. Some youths suspected to be IPOB members invaded the area mostly inhabited by Hausa indigenes and attacked them with dangerous weapons. Two persons were said to have died in the attack while two other persons sustained serious injuries,” he said.

The Spokesman of the Northern community in Rivers State, Alhaji Musa Saidu, who confirmed the incident to our reporter, condemned the attack.

Alhaji Musa Saidu said that the deceased were allegedly attacked and killed by irate youths suspected to be members of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) at Oyigbo.

He said the problem started when the suspected IPOB members armed with dangerous weapons attacked a base in Oyigbo that has a high concentration of Hausa indigenes.

He said that the incident which happened on Saturday and Sunday had 2 Hausa residents who were petty traders killed while two persons sustained life-threatening injuries.

He said that he could not ascertain the reason behind the attack but pointed out that the attack might be an offshoot of previous threats issued to the Hausa community in Rivers State by suspected IPOB members.

He called on the police to step up action and arrest those behind the attack.

Several telephone calls put across to Rivers State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni to confirm the story was not successful.

But a source from Rivers State Police Command told our reporter that the Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan has directed the deployment of police tactical command to restore normalcy in the affected area.

In the meantime, the Chairman of Oyigbo Local Government Area, Prince Gerald Oforji has condemned the attack and appealed to Hausa residents in Oyigbo to remain calm and not to take laws into their hands.
