Stupid police men, if u no give them 50 naira dem go delay u.

Too bad it's too much and we have representatives not saying anything about those..... whenever I travel down east I intentionally do count those....from onitsha down to ABA it's just too much...

Even inside town they position themselves to extort motorists. Southeast is militarized to the teeth and we have those who claim to be close to the seat of power..what do they do with it? Look for the common man to oppress.

Your representatives can't do anything about it.
Even the governors who are called chief security officers don't have control over any force, and you are talking about representatives.
The point is Nigeria has two different laws. The laws in the south are different from the laws in the north

post=97508507:

you are exaggerating, from Awka to Onitsha is just one check point at Ukpor junction, Onitsha to our boundary with Imo is three Checkpoints on normal day, it's because of Yuletide they increase the numbers of police and road safety officials

Taaah

The kidnapping is too much in igbo land. The ibos and fulani are partners in kidnapping activities hence the check points everywhere in the East.

lol big bro

Why Is This So In The South East?? I Need Explanation

So today I decided to travel to Owerri from onitsha for a business meeting, the journey was meant to be a 1hr30min journey or less, but the check point for such short distance was sooo much!!

Like literally every 1km of the road has checkpoint, it's so bad that from a particular check point, you can basically see another check point ahead.

Ranging from the Army to the police to FRSC. Basically every force is on the road and all of them including the army were collecting bribe from the drivers. I actually felt bad for the drivers because it was too much. I felt really disgusted as well because I expected them to distinguish themselves but no they didn't.

I guess this is why the transport rate here is on the high side.

Now I've spent 4hrs on the road due to traffic induced by these forces from blockage of the road

Last week I came back from Abuja to Anambra and the check point were few across the north and I kept wondering.

Is there insurgency in the SE or is the crime rate high here or what exactly is the cause of this excess checkpoints / extortion points

THat is why people will continue to be sympathetic to MNK because they know what it is to be oppressed

who's talking about control here,? They have the contacts....they can bring it up in both houses....they can visit the heads of those agencies and talk about it....they can make it a national discuss....they can influence changes there so don't tell me that they can't do anything.....

It is Buhari way of show of force to the easternerns because of Nnamdi kalu activities, he want to ensure no form of opposition comes from the east.

He started that program from 2015 when he came in. He removed all the checkpoints in Abuja and the north and sent them down to the south,the east in particular.

Before the jihadist took office, there used to be a heavy policing of Abuja and its environ, but he removed all of then, the CCTV in FCT were all removed. Can u believe Abuja is the only city in nigeria without CCTV? He doesn't want his fulani foot soldiers activities monitored.

I travel every month around the north, u can hardly see any check point even with heavy presence of his terrorist brothers every where.

From Abuja to kontagora is about 400km drive, there is only four places u can see police patrol vehicles parked. The only place u may see a check point is after yekila, and they are brisk, nothing else. That is why the bandits and terrorists are having a field day here in the north. There are no checks.

The marlian bandits are now moving Enmass into the country because of the lucrative robbery and kidnapping business.

Very soon, the south west will be overwhelmed by the activities of this bandits because they can easily find a common ground to launch an attack,the mosque.

Nigerians are still jonsing, thinking their politicians will do some thing about it. But, they will be taken by surprise.

Bros...
They can't make it a national discuss because it's not a national issue.

Why did I say so?
Check the number of reps from the North West/North Central (without the North East) then compare it with the number of reps from South East/South West/South South.
If you check it you will see the reason why it can't be discussed. Because it's not happening like that in the north that has more members in each of the Chambers of our National Assembly.
Even if it's discussed, it won't change anything because the Service Chiefs are only answerable to the President.

they can.....if they take it up , they can.....that's just it

andrewmeddy8:

one thing you don't know is that Northern metropolis enjoy peace it is some of the outskirts of the town that is ravaging with insecurity so there wouldn't be much need for check point

Lol..
Northern Metropolis?
How many percentage of Northerners live in Northern Metropolis?
So it is the East that is not enjoying peace,even in the Outskirts?
The forces mounting roadblocks in the East are after their pockets and not because of any security challenges in the East..
Some of them BEGGED to be posted to the East..
Zero threat to their lives,maximum extortion of motorists,what else is more ideal than that?

andrewmeddy8:
bad boys dey dia wella

wella than the north? sometimes we need to be telling our self the truth.

Gazzy88:
You wonder why SE is treated like a warzone? It's because aliko has interest in your tiny region. He doesn't need the people therein, just the red soil for his construction business. Don't worry you will be absorbed in Niger state. It's big enough to accommodate all of you.

Lol..
The East are treated like a war zone?
Yet you are the ones living in a War Zone..
Just keep your bunch of blood thirsty 1mbecile hoodlums ravaging your region up there with you..
We shall be praying for you..

For the northern cabal ruling Nigeria irrespective of where a president comes from, the desires are:

1) the crude oil and gas in the Niger Delta must be secured for Nigeria through heavy policing of the Igbos by Police and other armed forces.

2) Strangulate the SE through continuation of economic war after the shooting civil war.


But strangulation of the eastern part of one’s country while unchecked insurgents destroy the northern parts of the same country amounts to destruction of the whole country.

Nice observations.


When I stayed in the north, you hardly see such. The Nigerian Government has always been against the South.

Because the political structure of 36 states and Abuja created by northern soldiers for the benefit of the north practically consigned ownership of Nigeria to the far north politicians who lead the rest of northern zones.

If there is security check point on the road, you complain it's too much...

If there's no check point on the roads, you will still complain that the security agencies have abandoned eastern roads...

What exactly do you people want??

but most of those security personnel over there are your brothers/sisters so who is against who?

If it is so in the North then u guys need to ask the security personnel over there cause 98% of them are ur brothers/sisters.

Money is exchange hands on the road instead of security

When you bring another protest all of them go scatter

Originalsly:


Hmmm.... really? You throw so much light on the topic with this your short comment! So if the senators can really do something about it.... and doing nothing.... then isn't it for the people to vote out the senators?



@ owobokiri...... just curious...what's your view on the above? .... your earlier comment shed sooo much light on the problem and to me soo on point regarding the topic.

The east has the lowest number of senators and HoR members in the federal legislature. To worsen matters, most are in opposition., And under the APC regime, being in the opposition or not voting for the "Messiah-president" is actually a crime against humanity. . You can only get a motion approved without any back up actions.. That said, I tpstill think if they come together to agitate against that under a humane government, action will be taken. But is buharis a humane government? That which is right is right! We have a sitting IG, a police affairs Minister, a minister of the interior, why should they allow this to be normalised over time? I just think that if you don't do roforofo in this country, nobody takes you serious. If the youths start a massive protests against this, you may start to see some changes but then it will also create avoidable bad blood between the police and the people. Bad as their imsge looks, the police is still an integral part of a modern society.. I just think every interest group fighting against this evil should keep it on the front bunner until noticeable changes are effected..

I don't think so, it's the south south/south east that permits it....... that is why these force men bribes their way to these region

There's a reason that made Ojukwu to declare for Biafra.

It's not only the East that are in it, the west are also in it but everybody knows that some who claim to be civilized, don't want war or utterances that could lead to war are rather enduring their fate, hoping on God to send Moses than taking care of the situation. While in the north, they say and act anything that comes to their mind, down south, even expression of observation will attract fellow southerners to condemn and claim not to want war as if you asked for war in your factual observation.

Why should you claim ownership of Nigeria when you are not equally treated with another Nigerian?

Only Cowards fear to speak and act out their mind for the fear of fight, only zombies are comfortable to be identified as second or third class citizens when their co-citizens are seen and treated as first class for no reason other than birth place.

Those check point are just for collecting bribes and killing innocent citizens who stands for his/her right not to give ........
It's not so in the north.......
Like the corruption rate is very high in these region........

Kinematics:
Too many criminal elements in the SE.

True talk.
The East is unsafe due to crimes

Leave eastern representatives outta this n face ur govt

The way money exchanges hands between the motorists and security operatives in South East is alarming.

-Biafraland is an occupied territory by Nigerians and their forces. Today, we might not have an Ojukwu or a standing Army but one day we shall fight back through other means.

-Many of those armed robbers(Army, Police and FRSC) you saw on the road gave massive bribes in Abuja to be posted to our land of milk and honey. Those lazy fuckkers can’t survive without our money, neither can Nigerians.

This is so true. An hausa friend open up to me they always bribe to be posted in the East

IamWonderful:
Yes I love the way they killed us very well in Oyigbo/obigbo and Enugu and our leaders are under Buhari's table begging for crumbs, they cannot even condemn the act, your house of Representatives members have apologize to Buhari

See how you're disgracing your ancestors.
Fish brain. Ode.
A sensitive topic like this you're constituting nuisance.
Shameless mofo.
I spit on your empty skull.

To be sincere, I can't leave in the southeast. The oppression is just too much.
