This thread is about the insecuty in the southeast. Maybe you did see the topic or read through
South East is in Nigeria. And insecurity is in almost everywhere in Nigeria.

From north to south no where is safe. This has made the prices of foodstuff gone high as farmers can't go to farms again mostly in the North. In the east it has affected businesses in the west it has also affected businesses.


The government need to step up and come out with a solid plan to tackle this crises

The reason you are alive is because you're in Lagos.

Go to the East and sell cars there. Let's see what happens to you in 3 months.
I was born and raised in lagos that's why I'm here. if I was familiar with the east I would be there. Are u saying there are no people there alive?

In an attempt to paint the SE as unsafe,you have forgotten that they kidnap and kill in thousands in the north since over 2 decades!!

No country in the world has agreed to designate IPOB as a terrorist organization!

Some communities and local govt in the north are controlled by terrorists!

SE is not moved by your propaganda,you can continue to release repentant terrorists…
God bless igboland!
Are you very sure of what you are saying? Pls what part of Igboland do you live presently? Are you saying all the killings and kidnappings are fake? Are you saying a brother to a friend of mine kidnapped in Imo since December is fake? Bro this thing you said up here baffles me a bit because it is people like you statement that has made those criminals refused to repent in your believe you are defending igboland which is very very wrong.

Pls what is bad is bad regardless.

The fact that a slave was born in the palace doesn't make the slave a prince.

Go and stay in the East for 3 months and you will see how useless yourself kinsmen are.

You are already comparing the East to the North. Shows how stupid you are. Comparing your region to a war torn area. Smh.

*Anambra State being the hardest hit, as families shelled out N350.2 million in ransom payments.

*Imo State paid N39 million as ransom, Abia State paid N25 million, while Enugu State and Ebonyi State paid significantly lower amounts, with N4 million and N1 million.


This is embarrassing and sad.

The useless governor in Anambra thinks by bringing down obi he could be picked for vice president in the future. This was how he was fighting ngozi as cbn boss.He was actually voted by Anambra people because they thought as a Prof he could perform. He has failed like a pack of card.He can not manage his internal security. The kidnapping happening in Anambra are igbo boys looking to cash out.He should initiate his own internal security even if it involves going traditional way.I governor who could not hold his daughter wedding in his state because of insecurity. He is so useless

What do you want the government to do when the people who are paying the ransom are here defending the kidnappers and turning it into a competition....

Most of the Igbos who have commented this far,please just go through the comment session and see them defending and deflecting.
Lol....😁
They are all known enablers of terrorism on Nairaland.

Yes
But this particular topic is about the insecurity in the South East.

Can't you read? or you are just dumb?
Can't you see that the topic is clearly about south east.
When a thread is opened about insecurity in the northeast and middlebelt states like Benue And Plateau state we deal with the issues accordingly, why are you forcing the thread about southeast to change....?

Yes. Just a decade ago, the SE was the safest region in Nigeria. And then some mass psychosis spread through the SE because Buhari won the 2015 election, and we empowered thugs and riffraff, led by a mentally ill charlatan, to terrorize their own people in the name of secession agitation. The chaos and anarchy they brought to the region has created fertile ground for criminality and banditry. Your conspiracy theories cannot negate the fact that residents do not feel safe in Anambra and there's a palpable climate of fear.
Also this impulse for many of you to water down the situation in the SE by pointing to insecurity in the North just shows how small-minded you are. It reminds me a funny cousin I had as a child who finished close to the bottom of his class in school and was telling his parents about the 2 or so students that did worse than him in school. That's exactly how juvenile and shallow you sound. I care about me and my family feeling safe to travel to our hometown when we want. I don't give a flying fucck about what's happening in the North and I don't know how any right thinking Igbo man would be spewing such apologetics.
I. will take note of this moniker going forward.
You are indeed a reason why people should not generalize.

Feeling inferior before the Igbo also drives them to propagate falsehood against the Igbo.
Fear of them losing cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger delta region if Biafra is restored - that fear gives them goose pimples; so on a daily basis, they churn out propaganda of falsehood to denigrate the Igbo.
Coordinated from Bayo Onanuga's office.
Is Niger Delta part of Biafra?
Is there any cultural affrmity Igbos have with Itshekiri, Urhobos, Ibibio, Anang , Ijaws at least to mention but a few ?


The need for the teaching of history in schools indeed can not be over stated.

lolzzzz....the delusion of the average yoruba man needs to be studied in higher institutions. Go and ask your brethren living in the villages what they're suffering. SW doesn't begin and end in Lagos
I'm in Osun state, tell me something new. The kidnappers that have been arrested in Lagos environment were your brothers and they have been weeded out. The few ones that happened outside Lagos state were carried mostly by other tribes other than Yorubas. And Amotekun made sure that they there was no place for them to hide in SW

Sorry, you're the ignorant one. South West is not just the ritual capital of Nigeria but also the kidnapping capital of South.

After NW and NE, the highest number of kidnappings and consequent ransom payments occur in SW. Nobody who lives in Nigeria and is fully informed will argue these facts!
Can you see now why your life might be a total failure if care is not taken. The stats was about kidnapping and ransom payments, you're mentioning ritual. Are you delusional or something?

Clown I'm not looking to be a lagos indigene when I can be a British citizen. I'm just enjoying the city like every other yoruba non indigene from ekiti or osun.

And by the way I mentioned North not South or lagos I don't know how lagos got into this conversation about ransom payments??

Are u a bigot by any chance? undecided
