Na wao; this is bad, real bad! Before I used to think that blacks are more irrational than whites probably due to how their press always portray us as being driven by adrenaline instead of our grey matter. So sad, even that innocent looking child couldn't be spared. That man is a demon and should be sent to the electric chair!

as we all came on board in the big ship,the rescue teams inside the ship searched each and everyone of us if we were with drugs or weapons and we were all giving a hand band which signify the conditions of our state before they found us, and the band had numbers on it and we seated in groups the way we where rescued.
we were giving some kind of plastic nylon, the type that is used to wrap valentine gift to cover because it became cold and windy latter at night, we also saw the first set of group that left us, and there boat was almost in the point of sinking before rescue found them
we meant people also from other part of african country inside, the ship was filled with all of us who were illegal migrants.
some people where being take inside a room in the ship for questioning so to identify the driver of the boats and the assistant, mean while before we saw rescue an helicopter came to snap pictures of us, so they already new the people they were looking for.
after the investigation the driver and the assistant where separated from the rest of us, then they shared bread, fruit juice, and apples to all of us.
and at 1am in the night the meditarranean sea showed his real colour to us, and i saw for myself how it feels like to be in a ship when the sea was bad, it was just unbelievable how the sea waves was waving the big ship not to talk of the boat we were in, then i told to myself thank God rescue found us.
we spent three days on the big ship before we finally arrived in palermo the capital of italian island in sicily on sunday afternoon.
the italian immigration police, cameras and journalist were waiting for us to come down,but before we came down from the ship, doctors came into the ship and check our body for any infections and one dead body that was recovered by the rescue team was taken away.
as we came down from the ship we were given robber sanders to wear and our names and ages taken by the immigration officers before we entered a bus that took everyone to different camps.


well to end this story i would like to add what i think about all of this journey i did

1) coming into europe as an illegal migrants is a bad move

2) europe was not what my life that i put on the line, all do everyone has his or her own opinion about it.

3) everything is hard as a migrant, we a left to do cheap works for them or beg for money, for the girls i wont say anything cause you already know.
and some people would ask why did you not change to another europian county if you did not get you document in italy, well even if you did go and succeed to enter the next country be sure of you asylum application coming out negative cause the rules consigning migration has changed.
i wish to go back to my mothers land nigeria where i dont feel or see racism or trying to blend in all the time.

i just hope this changes somebodys life in any way, and if you ever want to travel out of nigeria make sure you take a flight to any of the country you wish to go, that way things will be easier for you there.

thanks for reading to the end and may god protect us from the hand of the wicked ones.........................THE END

Jesus Christ!!! People go through all these just to get to Europe?? God forbid abominable acts, even if you give me free visa and free flight ticket to Europe, I won't take it no to talk of going through the valley of the shadow of death!! This should top the list of 1000 ways to die! Nigeria is terrible no doubt and about the worst country anyone can be in, but hey people are still making it here. In this internet age, You can even bring Europe or America here by working and earning in dollars while still here! Physical boundaries are no longer barriers to anyone regardless of your country provided you have a skill you can offer online.
Shame on the African leaders especially that of Nigeria who failed to develop the country despite all the resources at their disposal. The masses also takes some of the blame for allowing incompetent and re.tar.ded people like Buhari to rule them. If the wicked Nigerian leaders have any conscience at all, they would have all been in sober reflection since the Libyan slavery and Mediterranean drowning of African migrants took center stage.
RIP to all those that died in the desert and the sea

I wonder o. The son is the pastor is a terrible liar. When did herdmen begin to kidnap and ask for ransom? Do they even use phones? Do they speak English? Why dont he bring out the audio evidence so we can see how they negotiated. Every crime is now attributed to Fulani herdsmen. Smh

Are you human at all? So Olu Falae and all those who have been kidnapped by the fool.ani herdsmen and later released when they paid ransom can't different fool.anis when they see one? Why are you so wicked and heartless to the point of supporting savage murderers??

Let's for a moment imagine that the people committing all these heinous crimes against humanity are from the South, what do you think would have happened by now? How can people be dying everyday like flies in their own land, killed by rag tag herdsmen who are in the same level with animals and the government turns deaf, dumb and blind Shitholeans think! Think for once and understand that these people want you all dead!! Are you all going to watch and wait for them to finish you all before you react in equal measure?? Are you all trees Even slaves are known to revolt when they feel that the oppression of their master has become unbearable!! Tufiakwa

How?

Is this the level Buhari has reduced Nigeria to? This is certainly a new low! Picking random people to pose as bishops and pastors in order to endorse him goes to show his desperation. Lwkmd, the id!ot of daura is obviously a drowning man clutching at straws.

Roger3D:
I deliberately opened this thread to gauge their reactions on the issue and frankly I'm far from surprised. Igbos come from a culture that glorifies money and material possession regardless of whether it is obtained legitimately or not. It only confirms what we already know about these people

Taaa comot there! How many of you have condemned the massive skull mining going on in your region at the moment? Or is it when you lose your own head or that of a loved one that you would condemn such madness?? Tramadol is a conventional drug used in treatment and it's on record that Igbos own majority of the chemist shops in the North, now how is it the fault of Igbo investors that these people are buying this same medicine for substance abuse?? Why are Igbos in the East or others in the South not abusing this same drug?? Is that not the question you and that so called Bala Mohammed should be asking?? What about those taking marijuana, gum etc is it the Igbos that are selling those ones to these northern youths?? Is marijuana, gum etc less dangerous?? You people are just obsessed with Igbos and yet won't let them go to have their Biafra so you can have your untainted and utopian Nigeria

lastmessenger:
I see one thing here " give and take " . if your politicians and religious leaders can encourage your young men and women to be educated just like we southerners, I'm sure your people will all be gainfully employed thereby reducing the need for hard drugs but for political reasons you have decided to keep a vast population of able bodied young men ignorant so that they can be used as a willing tool to win political position.

Again,why are you all breeding children like rat? Poor men marrying four wives and breeding large number of children that they can hardly feed or send to school The end result of this system is that you will have a large population of youths who have lost hope in life thereby talking to drugs as a way to escape reality.

Northern value system really need to change if they will catch up with the rest of us down south. There is urgent need for population control in the North. Each man most have one wife and a maximum of two children. You must embrace western education and emulate the south. Shun religious intolerance and see your people experience prosperity..

Finally leave the drug laws enforcement agency to do their job.There is punishment for both the saler and the taker.

If this myopic man that goes by the name Bala Mohammed is the same that doubles as the minister of FCT then it's not a surprise why Nigeria has continued to degenerate. This supposed educated yet ignorant Fulani man left the root cause of the problem, which lies squarely on the shoulders of having over ten million youths who are illiterate, idle and without any form of skill even if it's the most basic form!! This re.tar.ted, frustrated and hopeless youths of the North has taken to such anti social behaviours as an escape from their worthless lives yet this bast.ard was busy blaming Igbos for their misery. Hopeless people

This region is fvrked in all angles

You prob have too much free time to be Indulging with someone that wants to play games.

Exactly my thought! Such mind games she is playing can only be possible when you indulge her. The op should occupy his time with meaningful things like hustling hard to make it rather than having time for such girls except he is still young and in school. I can't imagine the life of me where a woman would take me on such indecisive ride. The moment you show me the green light, and I approach only for you to flash a red one, then I'm done with you. The universal language 95% of ladies understand in contemporary times is money, money and more money! Make it bro, and you will see them grovelling at your feet, especially in Nigeria where poverty is rife. That is another reason why ladies will initiate break up with you and still want you to remain friends with her. More often than not, they do that because they are afraid you might hit it big and there won't be any chance for them to make a come back into your life. Op, don't spend a minute of your time on a girl that is only keeping you as a second choice!

Op said France vs Nigeria but what I'm seeing here is Biafra vs France

Is that lady with goggles his mother

70% of "how to earn money online or anything about Affiliate marketing" that ends up in nairaland front page comes from the old moniker "import-export

That's a zombie speaking, and to think that this id!ot is supposed to be a state governor makes it more depressing.

Westbestside:
[s][/s]Trash from a lazy thinker. Do you know that calabar was once a Nigeria capital, why is it not like Lagos. Last I checked, none of your landlocked erosion ravaged state can compete with Ibadan. Close to 30years now that Lagos has ceased to be capital, yet, we keep moving it forward. Soon, you will come here to tell us how you develop Lagos, whearas your own region is trash.

Lol, I even thought I was arguing with someone that is informed. Calabar was the capital at a period when development was yet to begin. That said, Abidjan was the capital of Cote d'Ivoire for donkey years just like Lagos was to Nigeria, before they moved their capital to Yamousukro yet Abidjan has remained both the economic, financial and commercial capital of Ivory Coast till today! Does it now mean that the natives of Abidjan are the ones that made it so? I have come to know that you guys are never rational in reasoning but always moved by sentiment and emotions. If Abidjan can be what it is on the strength of just a few million Ivorians, then I must tell you that yorubas as natives of Lagos are even drawing the city backwards when you acknowledge that Lagos serves a country of almost 200 million people yet it can't even compare with many other African cities like Nairobi, Jo'burg, Abidjan, Cairo etc. You guys continue to celebrate mediocres like Tinubu, Fashola, Ambidextrous and what have you, and I just laugh at such ignorance. These local champions you guys celebrate are just criminals that have fleeced Lagos, even if you put an idiot in Alausa, he will still do the little projects these guys are doing and still have enough to embezzle. If Lagos has been fortunate to produce smart governors since 1999, I don't see any reason why it would have remained the way it is.

Westbestside:
Dumb reply, if Lagos had not existed, then another of our state would have been our Lagos. So since Lagos exists, we make it happen.

Which Lagos did you make happen? The one that was the federal capital for donkey years where everything in Nigeria is domiciled or another one? What stopped you guys from creating another Lagos elsewhere in your rustic region?? Is there any African country that it's capital wasn't like Lagos? Have you been to Nairobi, Cairo, Jo'burg, Abidjan, Luanda, Dakar etc are they all not like Lagos and what do they all have in common? Are the rest of the countries where those cities are the same way there capital is? I guess the Gwari natives will still wake up in 2045 and claim that they made Abuja. That grey matter in your skull is for reasoning, PLEASE MAKE USE OF IT!!!

How Yoruba Muslims Sacked Old Oyo And Will Do Same For All Odua

Ilorin was a small town in the Oyo Empire by the beginning of the 19th century. Afonja, Baale of Ilorin, who also held the title of Are Ona Kakanfo of the Oyo Empire, rebelled against his king, the Alafin of Oyo, in 1817. (There is no space here for the reasons for his rebellion). In order to sustain his rebellion, he was desperate to build a large and powerful army. To that end, he did a number of desperate things.

First, he invited the people of nearby villages to move to Ilorin and turn Ilorin into a large town. Many people so moved, but most refused.

Secondly, he reached out to many prominent friends all over the Oyo country, and invited them to come and live in Ilorin. Some accepted his invitation and came. Among these was a rich trader named Solagberu from Kuwo. Another was a man named Alimi, a Fulani man who had long lived in the Oyo country peddling charms from town to town. Afonja employed Alimi to make charms for him and his army.

Thirdly, Afonja decided to exploit a religious situation that was causing trouble in the country at the time. A Jihad movement had started in Hausaland in the north in 1804, generating wars and stormy Islamic evangelism there. It was started and led by an immigrant people called Fulani. The Fulani immigrants were few among the large Hausa nation, but very many of the Hausa who were already Muslims sided with the Fulani – and thus made it possible for the Fulani to defeat the ancient Hausa kings and make themselves rulers over Hausaland.

Some of the violent Jihadist preachers trickled south into the Oyo country. Everywhere they came, they were causing a lot of commotion by preaching violent and disrespectful sermons against the Oyo kings and chiefs, and against Yoruba culture in general. Yoruba people, with their tradition of religious tolerance, were alarmed; and angry crowds began to attack the preachers. Afonja decided to exploit the situation by issuing a general invitation to the Muslims to flee to him in Ilorin, promising to give them protection there. Thousands of frightened Muslims fled to Ilorin, and Afonja trained many of them for his army. (Afonja himself did not intend to convert to Islam, and he never did).

Fourthly, most rich Oyo families had Hausa, Nupe and Fulani slaves - used mostly in farming, trading, livestock rearing, etc. Most were Muslims.

Afonja decided to exploit this also. He issued a proclamation saying that if any slaves ran away from their owners and came to him in Ilorin, he would give them freedom and protection there. Large numbers of slaves, mostly Hausa, fled to Afonja, and he trained some of them for his army.

Afonja thus had his large town and large army. Most of his army’s commanders and soldiers were Oyo Muslims. A few of the soldiers were Muslim Hausa – all slaves recently set free by Afonja. But many of his Hausa soldiers were unruly. He warned or threatened them repeatedly, but with no result. When he at last decided to discipline them, they mutinied. Afonja was killed in the mutiny - in 1823.

Meanwhile, while Alimi had been making charms for the army, he had become a friend to many of the Oyo commanders who were Muslims, and these hadmade him Imam (Islamic teacher and preacher) for the Muslim community in the army. After Afonja›s death, the same friends gradually made their Imam the ruler of Ilorin. They also created some officers among the Hausa soldiers - for instance, Balogun Gambari. The powerful men doing all these things were Oyo.

That then is how Oyo people made a Fulani man the ruler of Ilorin. When Alimi died, his elder son, Abdulsalam, was elevated to his father’s position by his father›s powerful Oyo Muslim friends. Adulsalam had lived in the Jihad in Hausaland and had only recently come to live with his father in Ilorin. He knew that the Jihad had made the Fulani the rulers of Ilorin - with a Fulani Sultanate based in Sokoto and quasi-independent Fulani Emirs in the separate Hausa kingdoms. So, after he was made ruler of Ilorin, he sent to Hausaland to announce that he had established an Emirate in Ilorin and to ask that his Emirate should be accepted as part of the Fulani Sultanate.

In this way, Ilorin became a Fulani Emirate, ruled by a Fulani family.

Ilorin was, in population, still an Oyo town - probably over 95% Oyo in population. And Ilorin was never conquered or even invaded by any Fulani army. Those influential Oyo men who made Alimi and his son the rulers of Ilorin did so out of fervour for their Islamic faith.

When the news of the happenings in Ilorin spread all over the Oyo country, people were shocked to hear that Ilorin people had made the family of an obscure Fulani charm peddler their rulers. Therefore, people formed armies to go and subdue Ilorin and flush out the Fulani impostors. None of these invasions of Ilorin succeeded. The invading armies were poorly organized, and, moreover, the old Afonja army defending Ilorin was just too powerful. In fact, in the end, the Ilorin people, in order to ensure perfect protection for their fervently Muslim town, decided to go out and conquer most of Yorubaland (all the way to the sea coast), and make all of it a Muslim empire ruled from Ilorin.

Their army marched out in about 1838, conquering town after town towards the south, and causing mammoth streams of refugees. Till today, most Yoruba people still call this Ilorin invasion a Fulani invasion of Yorubaland. But it was not a Fulani invasion at all; it was an attempt by the predominantly Yoruba Muslim people of Ilorin to conquer and Islamize the rest of Yorubaland.

The victorious Ilorin march southwards ended suddenly in 1840. The refugees who had gathered in the Egba village of Ibadan had quickly become a large town. Their army marched out and met the Ilorin army in Oshogbo in 1840, and totally destroyed them, capturing many of their commanders. From then on, the power of Ilorin was more or less over, and Ilorin never dared again to face the Ibadan army in battle.

In the following years, Ibadan became the most powerful state in Yorubaland, and established control over the Oshun valley, Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Akoko, Igbomina and parts of Iyagba. Ilorin continued to be ambitious to control some territory in its immediate neighbourhood – in nearby Igbomina and Ibolo (especially Offa); but they feared Ibadan. In 1877, the Ekiti, Ijesa, Igbomina and Akoko revolted against Ibadan’s rule, and the Kiriji War started, keeping all these peoples and Ibadan busy until 1893. Ilorin took advantage of this and established some feeble control over parts of Igbomina and Ibolo.

However, at home in Ilorin itself, a proper Emirate could not develop. The powerful Yoruba war chiefs wanted to re-establish the traditional Yoruba political system whereby the chiefs in a kingdom select their king. The Emirs resisted. By 1895, the chiefs were winning the contest grandly – a situation which forced the Emir Momoh to commit suicide after setting his palace on fire. The victorious chiefs then installed Sulaiman as Emir. This was the situation when the forces of the British Royal Niger Company came and conquered Ilorin in 1897.

In the years that followed, it was the British that established Ilorin as a full-fledged emirate, making the Ilorin Emir like the Emirs of Hausaland. The Emir then took advantage of that to establish all sorts of Emirate-type control over Ibolo and northern Igbomina.

In short, Ilorin was never conquered (was never even invaded) by the Fulani. Ilorin is more than 90% Yoruba in population. The Igbomina, Ibolo, and Ekiti of Kwara, because they have hated the imposture of the Ilorin Emirs since the beginning of British rule, tend to be usually cool towards Ilorin. Rather it was the treasonable ambition of Afonja and the Yoruba Muslim converts who handed Ilorin to the Fulanis.

Today, the same group are at the forefront fighting to ensure that all Yoruba land falls to Sokoto.

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! What a beautiful piece of history lesson, with facts dates and venues!! If you are Yoruba, you have done your people both Christians and Muslims alike, a world of good but on the other hand, if you are Igbo, then the Yoruba owe you a great deal of debt for this awesome piece of history lesson you just gave them.

Sirjamo:
Yet, 80percent of new foreign direct investments are in the west.

Lagos and its suburbs you mean? I always wonder what would have been the situation with you guys if Lagos never existed; the west would have been the worst region of Nigeria.

Really?? Igbos certainly has the lowest unemployment figures in Nigeria, and that's a fact!! The average Igbo graduate who can't get a paid job is quickly absorbed into trade or travels out of the country ASAP. You can hardly see an Igbo man who is unemployed for five years without doing one of the two options above. Almost every Igbo family have members abroad and even within other African countries where a new trend is emerging whereby Igbos are taking over the supply business in many of these countries.

Yyeske:
What was the selling rate for those cars and how much was paid for them is the question.

Little wonder they call the nigger area shithole because aside all the sh!t going on in this clime, hypocrisy is also their trademark! How much do people pay to have website constructed for them and how much did fashola, the current super minister construct his own with? How much do people pay to have boreholes constructed for them and how much did fashola pay for the same borehole to be constructed for him?? How much do people pay to have labourers mow their lawn and how much did the secretary to your god buhari, pay to cut grass at the IDP camp? How many of these "saints" are on the so called list of corrupt people?? I can go on and on to list the graft that was committed by virtually all the cabinet members of this !diotic government, but my time will be better spent earning dollars as a writer than trying to educate zombies! Time is gone when only the brown envelope inspired journalists at Lagos-Ibadan exp way told the narrative to suit who is giving the heaviest envelope because everyone now is a journalist and the East also has enough intellectuals to counter the witchcraft journalism emanating from the waste

When the Eastern region was the fastest developing region in Africa before the abo.kis used fake federalism to destroy everything thereby pulling all of us down into their shithole

duroc:
No be this woman buy bulletproof car?

Stop being unreasonable, what is wrong with buying bullet proof cars? Is the !diotic old fo.ol of daura not using bullet proof cars? Nigeria is a sh!thole and a failed country, that's why a minister will be busy making wild allegations without facts.

Malawian:
Have you noticed that wherever Buhari goes these days, he goes with water tight security?

The bastard knows he is not safe anywhere in the shithole

Igbos are the Christians last hope in Nigeria, islam has finally conquered the west. I can't believe that such sacrilege is happening in yorubaland in this year 2018 and not 1818!!! We must get Biafra ASAP, it's obvious that the ambition of Uthman Dan fodio to dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean is still on course and they are even succeeding at an alarming rate in other regions, and once they conquer every other region and use them as willing slaves to assist them further, it would become extremely difficult for us to withstand them. WE MUST GET BIAFRA NOW!!!!!!!

This is a golden opportunity to own a property in Aba without having to break the bank.

Call us now.

There is a distress sale of lands in Aba. The owner is desperate to sell the land because she just got a visa to travel out and urgently needs to raise money to process her travel. I know the family very well (I'm a family friend) and thus can stand as a surety or guarantee to the genuineness of the properties being sold here just to assure you that it is 100% safe.

The plot of land is at Osusu area of Aba and the asking price is 2 million naira (this one is owned by the lady about to travel out).
They also have a family land with building at Umukalika area, after Ogbor-hill. This one is not up to a full plot but has a 9 rooms house on it. The asking price for this one is 4 million.
Based on how urgent they need to raise money, they are willing negotiate with the buyer and may accept a slightly lower offer.

This could be your opportunity to own a land or land with building in Aba, the Enyimba city. All documents are intact with the owner and I repeat that I will also stand as surety/guarantee over the sale.

I can assure you that it will not be long before the land(s) are sold based on the urgency and cheapness of the property.

You can contact me on the address in my signature, and I will put you through to the seller in case you want to negotiate with them.

Afonjas no get shame aswear, just negodu? These guys are still asslicking?

dionysus7:
i wonder how the next president, whoever its to be will perform without support, one thing is to play opposition, another thing is sabotaging...even you're the opposition, shouldn't it be your happiness that the president performs well? now I'm not saying Buhari performed well but I don't think he got the support he deserved from supposedly well meaning Nigerians

This is a joke right? Or is it sarcasm?? the illiterate old man was given all the support he could get, Nigerians were patient with him in an unprecedented way yet he took it for granted and messed everything up. Actually, one cant give what he doesnt have, buhari has no business as a ward councilor talk more of being a president. Come to think of it, that you still believe in this man despite his crass incompetence shows that something is equally wrong with you!

Okay o, everyone has rejected the dumb terrorist including his fellow gambaris & abo.kis yet the suffersicated people from the waste are still supporting him because of very myopic, base and primitive reasoning! SHAME ON THEM!!

I hope Owerri airport is still the 4th busiest in the sh!thole.

Lol, confusion in the enemy camp. He whom the gods want to kill, they first... buhari is a bastard, his end would be the most miserable of any African ruler ever.
