When the masses loot, it is hunger.

When politicians loot, it is wickedness.

When would both amount to wickedness in your eyes?

They are all wickedness.

What I'm trying to say is this: in the mist of massive hunger like we have in Nigeria, many heart breaking treatments like this will emerge.

There is a reason why countries with lower rate of poverty tend to have lower rate of crimes compared to those with higher rates of poverty.

southniyikaye:
All these politicians are learners when it comes to some Nigeria's wickedness

No, the politicians weaponized poverty! Nigeria has some of the most wicked political structures and leaders in the world.

This is why I laugh at those who seek for presidency as if the presidency has helped any region since the beginning of Nigeria.

The political class is united in wickedness.

The masses are hungry! To be the poverty capital of the world is no joke! It is a time bomb. People may start eating one another if the rate at which the country sleeps into poverty continues.

TecM0:
After a year we make $3 billion USD for VAT... This one show say people's purchasing power in Nigeria is low, money no dey circulation, atleast Na who buy anything go pay VAT

Purchasing power is very low in Nigeria na. It is the poverty capital of the world. And has the worse middle class in the world.

The govt spend so much on over head maintenance of political office holders while they spend a little on critical infrastructure.

Also, the govt over the years, through bias, has refused to massively invest in regions with Greta human resource potentials.

U see naija, it is a time bomb.

Poverty, pls illiteracy, plus high population gives u time bomb waiting to explode.

But why can't we have southern governors forum?

Concerning the issues in/at Oyigbo


It has come to our notice that certain persons without good intention are promoting false narratives of events.

miscreants trying to control the narrative against the interest of Rivers State with false narratives and ethnic colored Propaganda

They stoked a war, started a fight they didn't have a strategy on how to finish, when challenged with the consequences of their ill-planned actions, they then begin to throw accusations around.



Go and check the record, Rivers have always had an unfriendly posture with Police and army throughout Wike's tenure.

IPOB made Oyigbo, Rivers a security threat by inviting outside forces to the region and when things go aflame, they begin to cry aloof, Wike this, Wike that.

Cross over to Abia and begin to kill armies and then summon Ikpeazu to summon the navy to fight the army.

I'll educated miscreants.

It has become glaring that some ethic jingoistic of the SE extraction has been brandishing false narratives of events that occurred. And claiming all sorts of nonsense.

If you can't abide by the laws of any land you feel isn't homeland, go home. Return home and go and be lawless there. Nuisance


You want Eungu preserved by all means but want Rivers to burn.


Foolish things. We won't allow you control the narrative with your so called " blessedness" that people want you down because they have fear for you.


There are more igbos in PH, than in Oyigbo. They are not been killed or attacked in anyway.


We won't tell you to stop the false information peddling, but will tell you to return to where you call home and feel safe at home and go and be completely lawless there and see if the consequences of lawlessness won't reach you regardless of location.


Miscreants

DISCLAIMER :


IPOB Must be held accountable for everything happening in/at Oyigbo








I will never allow them to mess Rivers state up though I'm not from Rivers, have never stepped foot on Rivers soil, don't have any relative or friends from Rivers. But I'm intelligent enough to look at facts and speak the truth without fear of losing friends even business associates. The truth is my path. I have hardly met anyone from Rivers and have always considered my igbo brothers as my brothers and all my life have always held a pro-igbo stance. From today, I'm throwing it away. I won't appease a people who are intolerant of people they consider different from them who try to drown the voices of others with their false ethnic colored Propaganda.


I won't tolerate it. IPOB invited the Nigerian Army to Oyigbo and are the enemies of the igbos, not persons who are non-igbo.



False narratives when people with a situation to depict an entire event which as intelligent people should know isn't always as portrayed.


Condolences to the bereaved. Utmost respect to the dead and we must never allow the dead go to the grave without grieving with the mourning. We will however not let this hijacked by persons who have I'll societal objectives.


No


No one is happy about the deaths of youths, male or female. However, we must promote file narrative of events


IPOB must be held responsible for the deaths in Oyigbo. It's IPOB. IPOB brought the army to Oyigbo to kill igbo youths.

Why is the army not killing fulai youths since fulani herds men cause kill villagers up and down?

But north is still the poorest region.

Bro, are u sincerely happy the way Nigeria is? Come on, this country should have more developed than South Africa. People like u are giving these failed leaders excuses.

LordviccoDaGuru:
Oga u want make anti-spam bam me again me again baa? I posted the tweak here before 30seconds I was banned.

Do check your DM

I am ashamed of the black race... no dignity at all!

Doing all these to ur own citizens... how do u expect other countries to rate u and treat ur people well?

Arrewa:
Yet these same people will come online to tell you how backward and underdeveloped the north is!

God bless Arewa land!

So, this is how all Arrewa is?

I wonder why Arrewa is not pushing to even break away from the country!

Nigeria will live fine if u remove political unity from us.

Humans generally don't like to be dominated by another group of people. This is why we need a system of govt that does not impose another tribe on another tribe.

This will go a long way to reduce the deadly tensions experienced in the country.

As a policeman, resign, take ur family and move to nearby country and start life afresh.

This country is not worth it.

The politicians, the citizens, and the security personnel are not mentally stable. It is due to long history of poor governance.

The leaders of this country should a matter of urgency forget about political greediness and reconstruct this country.

The UK political model is okay. Sincerely. This will save many lives.

If u guys insist this country shouldn't path ways like Europeans did, pls adopt the UK model of 6 nations. Pls, pls pls.

Anyone reading this should help as much as they can. The way lives are wasted in Nigeria is too much. From southern kaduna to Southern Nigeria. It is a shame.

Wow

But one wonders why this sort of measures are not taken on areas where fulani herdsmen are running riots and slaughtering human beings.

Gush, see how people are begging here!

It is such a shame!

Jobs like this shouldnt be based on connection. It is our tax used to pay these people. It should be open to all and not based on slots!

No wonder the country is so backward and someone even justified it!

I fear who no fear the black race!

iamDrRhymes:
Emotion aside, the army is right on this one. It's a slap on the Nigerian army to appear before a civilian panel.

The other day, the army facility was invaded without a prior notice. Please let's respect the military.

Chaii, chaii, years of maltreatment has really reconditioned the minds of an average Nigeria to think upside down.

The military is not above the constitution of the country. The constitution is a civilian ruled constitution and not the military.

Lagos state setup a panel with the full authority of the state and even the FG to investigate the killings.

The panel is acting on behalf of the state govt and FG here.

The panel can invite anyone, anybody. Come on, what kind of race is this na? Why are we like this?

This is why I don't scream when other races abuse us. We are not even helping out at all. The military should be loyal to the constitution and not to individual. F uck this country aswear

Igbochief001:
Na his recommendations won't work ...we need 6 zones ...let everybody decide which zones they want to be part of ....the states as we have them today can't still function well ..most are mini Nigeria ....kogi ,kwara , kaduna , bauchi, gombe , taraba , rivers , Delta ,Niger , jos

Southern kaduna has no business being in north west , Yorubas have no business being in north central , some part of Niger have no business being in north central,
Oyigbo ,etche , asaba , egebema , omuma have no business being in south south
Same with Igbos in benue and kogi

Let's have 6 zones ..let each zone create as many Provence as they wish in the structure that would fit them

Election should be done by number of zones u win ...u only need to win 4 zones to be president
Number of voters in each zone done really matter ...

Perfect �

when will u guys understand that the current Naija system will not work o? If u like, bring saint Moses as the president and governor, it will not work. Only the politicians enjoy this system simply becus the system has a way to make them under perform. It is too unitary!

Una dey do sentiments. Europeans and even Americans understood this long ago, that is why Europe has more of sovereign nations than states. And in situation where they have sovereign states, they ensure that the system is not unitary.

The current system makes the state and local govt useless. State is overburden with little control over major factors that determine economy of their state. While the central govt is busy flexing in Abuja..

Take a look at ur national assembly, they practically do nothing but get highly paid! Make una dey dey laugh agitators of restructuring or separate country when una beloved country is not working. Nigeria is not working and can never, ever, ever, ever work even in the next 50 years as long as we continue like this. Those people agitating for restructuring or separate country love Nigeria more than u all who have refused to support this.

There is no country with multi ethnic composition like Nigeria that practices unitary federalism that is developed. Lie lie!

Fmghewzy:
Speak for yourself
,I love dark skinned chocolate babes,only senseless girls go about bleaching.

If your black is shinning forget boys will approach you

So there are no natural brown skin girls or guys in Nigeria anymore?

So anyone who is ligh skinned is bleaching?

Bro, once u live a good life, comfortable and relaxed, if carry light skin gene inside u, it will manifest.

There Nigerians, he is one of our problems. These men steal with reckless abandon. They have no mercy. They are our enemies and not your fellow struggling masses, pls.

HundHunter:
Good narrative but purely a conjecture. Do you agree?

Bro, if I was killed at the protest, God forbid, my family wouldn't be on Twitter to shout, neither would they be on TV to shout.

Many families in Nigeria don't have access to the media and may not be properly educated or enlightened to know why they should.

Illiteracy and poverty are massive in Nigeria bro.

Coldie:
This your comment is not driven by reason it seems to be driven more by hate.

If Nigeria wasn't working the moment covid19 lockdown came we would have witnessed mass starvation and famine did it happen?

If Nigeria was not working endears protest would have lead to a refugee crisis cause the govt would HV capitulated and anarchy would have taken over, did it happen?

Do u know the meaning of a country not working?

Oh, my bro, I am not hating okay! Covid19 didnt have strong effects on west africa generally! And Africa at a large. Ur reference to Endsar protest is not reliable, pls! That was just a protest hijacked by thugs used and dumbed by govt!

Now, let me list out what it means for country not to work:

Nigeria is rich in natural and human resources but heavily unused! This has led to Nigeria to become the poverty capital of the world.

Nigeria is among the top countries with citizens who run away from their country to hustle in other sane countries!

Nigeria till date can not boost of clean drinkable water supplied to households even with many access to water!

Nigeria till date still has the worse roads on earth! I mean, for a country as rich as Nigeria, such roads shouldnt be a problem!

Nigeria has an almost failed education system. We see our pry and secondary schools, we see where a many of our citizens learn their pry and secondary education. It is a shame for such a rich country!

Nigeria has too many illiterates. A country as rich as Nigeria shouldnt have such record at such an alarming rate!

Nigeria's health care system has collapsed and ur politicians and wealthy ones are avoiding to use the health care system here!

Nigeria is on the list of top terrorists countries on earth with countless deaths recorded in the hands of Boko Haram, fulani herdsmen! We see the images of those places attacked by these sects and we wonder if humans still have such a place in 21 century, in such a rich country that has made trillions of dollars over the decades!

In fact, Nigerians die via road accidents than covid19 could kill Nigerians!

Till date, Nigeria is still struggling with electricity!

Nigerian politicians are among the highest paid in the world, yet they rule the country with the highest rate of poverty in the world. It doenst make logical sense.

Have u driven on a Nigerian road? Do u see how chaotic it is? Such a rich country shouldnt be at such chaotic state!

Have u ever traveled to a sane country? If u have, u would understand better what a working country looks like!

There is no single area that Nigeria has gotten right in her 60 years of independence: Health, electricity, fuel, security, roads, education, trade, housing, city landscape, etc. No area at all.

What Nigerians live here is merely struggles in a chaotic society full of shortened lifespan! I can go on and on! Nigeria has talented footballers everywhere and sportsmen generally, yet Nigeria can not boast of a formidable sport league that can compete with sane climes! None!

Coldie:
No reasonable Igbo man thats right thinking and sane would ever push for Nigeria to break

Like seriously? Oh, come on bro, Nigeria is not working, will never ever work! Come on, it wont work..

Archive this comment, if we continue like this, return in 50 years, Nigeria would av become worse..

Nigeria actually becomes worse each decade!

Divide Nigeria and her problems will be half solved!

Look at Europe, see how they broke down them selves into smaller countries because they understand the problem of adding nations together under a centralized political system!

No wonder they are the most developed continent in the world today!

I simply laugh at those who laugh at biafra agitators becus the entire system currently only favours the ruling class. Nigeria is almost a lost battle!

temi1290:
One thing I hate watching in this country is political rallies,I see anybody attending that shit as a very dumb person,you go there to worship your oppressors.They come during elections to share ridiculous things like cups, printed vests,ludo and u will still see people fighting to get these things, then go back to loot fortunes.


The truth is our system doesn't allow for this guys to be to come under the hammer of the law because they are all corrupt and knows each other secret,the time where we start attacking them ourselves is coming.

Until we begin to attack them, the better for us. I don't attend political rallies, lie lie.

temi1290:
Misplaced priorities brotherly,we rather fight against ourselves than fight against those that brought us to where we are today.


Until we identify who our real enemy is,we will never get anywhere as a country

Thank u o! It is crazy how Nigerians glorify their politicians who are looting them endlessly!

temi1290:
This man just suffered the sin of thousands of corrupt police officers,so sad

And our politicians are never treated this way even though they are the cause of all the problems in this country.

I want to be a naija politician

J111333:
Why and how some people will travel abroad and still dey do university cultism for there beats my imagination.

I don't know why a lot of Nigerian youths have sworn never to get sense in this life.

Nigerians are truly problematic around the world.

JidennaJason:
The siblings of the late civil engineer are just being tribalistic.... They don't want a "stranger" to have control of their brothers property. If the lady happens to come from the same village with the husband, this nonsense abduction and seizing of property wouldn't have happened.


Your wife or son should be your Next Of Kin.

Wife should be only after some years especially if u as a married after u got made. Your kids should be ur next of Kin.

But why are Nigerians very difficult to govern? Nigerians are always in a rush.

RaptObserver:
If we get our educational sector to work well, the police brutality will not be there and the consequent hostilities towards police will also not be there. Education is key.

Police brutality is a function of poor education from both policemen and citizens. Many policemen are not properly educated. They can't engage in a decent arguement without resorting to threats. Many can't even read and write especially their rank and file. Many citizens are also not enlightened to know their rights and duties. Since the government has chosen for 60 years to ignore education, the chicken have come home to roost. In some countries, their prisons are virtually empty. Thanks to responsible government they have.

Bro, thank u very much. Thank u very much. This is what I keep saying. U see, many people are not really intelligent in Nigeria. This point u raised is one thing I have been saying.

The police deal with many people on daily bases due to nature of their jobs. The pry and secondary school educations in Nigeria are so poor. As a result, we recruit many poorly educated people into police and majority of the citizens the police deal with are illiterates and semi illiterates who actually don't know how to respond and interact with police men.
I kept saying it during the protest that we must begin to work on our pry and secondary school systems. I have seen naija systems, some poorly interact with police men and I have seen naija police men poorly interract with citizens. All these are as a result of the half baked education we have.

And finally, crime rate is too high in Nigeria. In fact, almost 4 out of every 15 Nigerian is into crime. This is too much. Most times, the police get to deal with a lot of crimes and we don't even have enough police men in the country.

Many police stations are ill equipped. To reduce crime, we need our govt to work. Crime rate in Nigeria is way too much. It is too much. With rate of crime and poor data base of Nigerians, the police has nothing to work with.

Even our house addresses are so bad. It is not easy to track people or identify people in Nigeria, so police gets to wrk most times using analogue system. This is bad. Nigeria does not even know exactly how many we are.

The problems are too much which is directly not even the fault of the police but the govt. Like I always say, we always find ways to exclude our politicians from the real problems we have. They are so lucky sincerely. Nigerians have a way of making politicians look good.

We need to fix our pry and secondary school ASAP. We need to properly start data base of Nigerians and we need to reduce crime. Communitiew should stop supporting crimes. Families should stop supporting crimes.

As usual, they innovate, black race buy with their stolen common wealth
