We Ndigbo keep winning the media war back to back. They tried to use IPOB to blackmail Igbos before Hausas, so that the disaffection of the Middle belters with the Fulanis will be dissipated and the Hausa aggression turned against the Igbos. But unfortunately what they don't know is that in this era of internet and social media, it is near impossible to gain information dominance over Ndigbo.

We must step up our games Ndigbo, and try to retaliate against daily trust for this fake news. We should find a way to demarket that newspaper such that it will never gain any form of relevance or acceptablity. And this is not only for daily trust, but also any newspaper that writes things which are not true about us. Even though I have come to observe that must newspapers try not to write negative things about us, except Vanguard newspaper and they do so because they already know that they are our own, but others (newspapers) are in morbid fear of our reprisals. So we must be ready to silence every negative and dissenting news published against our peace loving and hardworking tribe.

Furthermore, We must learn never to shy away from any challenge, because if we do, the challenge multiplies and becomes even more potent. So it's always good to meet challenges head on. In the end, we should all strive to make sure that we continue to win this age of information dissemination, because best believeve that any one who wins the cyber war will actually be the overall winner. Everything in this world now has gone cyber and therefore, we need to be up to the task. So Stop siting idly infront of your computer, if you don't know what to do, use those idle times to mount resistance against those negative press written about your tribe and if possible launch an offensive against the tribes of any author that comes against your people.

I repeat, we must never lose this information war!

10000000000000 million likes for you!!!

This is exactly what I and some others have been doing with passion. We Igbos must not relent one bit. We must take the online battle to the enemies and match them propaganda to propaganda! Facts to facts! And lies to lies!

Due to the capital being in Lagos for donkey years which ultimately made the city the economic capital of Nigeria, the afonjas used that opportunity to slander others mercilessly and they got away with tons of propaganda and lies against others while projecting themselves. However, with the Advent of the internet and social media, the tables have turned. We have more numbers of educated, enlightened and traveled people than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. Therefore, we have what it takes to neutralize their lies and destroy their propaganda.

Nobody needs the Lagos/Ibadan expressway junk journalism anymore since we are now all journalists on our own.

Already, individuals and organizations have now realized they can't mess with Igbos without suffering a serious backlash that will haunt them terribly.

Check the list:
RantHQ
Tinubu
Kemi
Hell Rufai
Buhari
GTB

The list goes on. The word is now out, mess with the Igbos at your own risk.
Anybody or brand that acts against us in anyway must be made to suffer the consequences. That should be our new worldview and that's how people who often face attacks do to protect themselves. The Jews do it. Blacks in America are now doing it too. Same as Igbos in Nigeria.

Lol, these fools are just decieving themselves. So they want Nigerians to go from frying pan to fire abi? From Buhari to Tinubu??

So of all the credible people in Nigeria, it is a character like Tinubu they want to rule Nigeria??

A people really deserve the kind of rulers they get. You people can wait and allow to rule Oduduwa, we don't need corrupt and expired materials to finish off whatever is left.

God forbid!!

Lol, do they have any options left after they've mortgaged the present and future generations right to good standard of living with terrible loans from China that ended up being embezzled.

Nigeria is finished going forward, and that's the reality any discerning person already knows. The poverty levels will soon become pandemic at the rate we are going and with millions more being born while sustenance approaches zero, starvation becomes inevitable.

You could sense the veins and deep patriotism in Abaribe... if words were alive, he may have cried giving that interview.

Coming from someone that life has blessed beyond measures, it's good still seeing such hunger to right wrongs..

He is a very patriotic and enlightened man who knows that this government has put Nigeria on a slippery slope to perdition.

Granted that Nigeria has had a beleaguered history and always trotting on the edge of presipice but Buhari made its fate fatal and unsalvageable.

The loans he took will ensure that Nigeria remains bankrupt for years and decades to come!
His nepotism and religious fanatism has ruptured the very veins that supported our fragile existence as a country.

Buhari is Nigeria's version of USSR's Gorbachev, history will remember him for his destructive tendencies that led to Nigeria's ultimate balkanization.

Enyinnaya Abaribe is among the very few men of honour left among Nigerian politicians. He is about the only Southern senator that speaks truth to power courageously.

Every id1ot now wants to use Igbo presidency issue to chase clout.
I wonder what is so hard for these backward and corrupt kleptomaniacs to understand. Nigeria has 6 regions, 5 has ruled except 1 which is South East. If it's about ass-licking and reaching out, then isn't that what people like Orji Kalu has been doing? What else do they want Igbos to do? If they feel they will always team up to stand against us, they can continue but it's only a matter of time before we get to the tipping point.

Very impressive!!

Lalasticala could you please move this to front page.

Together, we can help make our society better for us all.

It was my brother yesterday, but it could be anyone tomorrow. Innocent people are being victimized everyday and they go home to lick their wounds in silence while these evil men in uniform get more emboldened because they're never penalized.

I'm only trying to create awareness about this evil and seek for possible ways to get justice for my kid brother.

Deborah98:
don't you have someone who will stand in the gap for you, this is something that should be backed up legally and otherwise, has your brother been released?

Yes, he was later released that yesterday. But I'm feeling bad that such impunity could happen.

Why would policemen from Eziama be going about kidnapping people at random, beating them up and robbing them at gunpoint?

Such crazy things should be nipped in the bud and never be allowed to happen but it's obvious that they've been doing this others before now and will continue to do it unless they're stopped.

Deborah98:
So what did you guys do later,fill a report against them immediately...

Nothing has been done yet because I'm not in Aba and my mother is not strong enough considering her age and health

The most unfortunate thing is that the money they collected from his account is not even his money, because he is still an undergraduate, but money being sent home by my sister who is in the US. She prefers sending the money to his account since he is the last born and it would be more convenient for him to withdraw it and hand over to my mother. All these can be easily verified in the bank. In case they may want to label him a yahoo boy as they always do.

This terrible and unimaginable incident happened yesterday. And since then, I haven't gotten myself as to why an innocent person would be made to pass through such injustice by the very people who are paid to protect the citizens.

I don't know what this country is turning into, but there is cause for alarm that anarchy and lawlessness has become the order of the day. Unimaginable things are now happening in Nigeria and no one is safe anymore.

If the police that is paid to safeguard the citizens are the ones who now terrorize, dehumanize and rob them, then something needs to be urgently done or else we are doomed in this country.

My mother sent my kid brother on errand yesterday but as he was walking down the street in Umola road, in Ogborhill area of Aba, an unmarked bus double crossed him in gestapo style, forcefully collected his phone and as he was still trying to fathom what was going on or why he was being harrased, they began to beat him up, and bundled him into the bus and drove away.

When my mother who sent him on errand didn't see him after a while, she called his number and it wasn't going through. It was when she was looking for him that some people who saw what happened now related the whole information to her. In her hysteria, they went to the nearest police station i.e Azuka but they were told the policemen that did it didn't come from there. They went to other police stations before they were directed to go and check at the Eziama police station located close to old NEPA office along Ikot Ekpene road.

By the time they got there, my kid brother has been beaten to stupor, and in the process, they forced him to transfer the money in his account to them.

Oga learn to overcome challenges what the Governor said is right and something everyone with brains will understand. Your problem is you must have allowed your present circumstances of lack to define you. Understand everything have a value chain and stop asking for improvements if you don't want to do the work. You sound like a failure from your words. Even if you have a Car, House or whatever is like your circumstances define you at all point and you are nothing at all juncture.[/s]

It's quite annoying when ignorant people who don't know anything, can't read and comprehend will come online and make a fool of themselves.

You're too far gone for anyone to try redeeming you.

It's obvious that poverty has messed up with you real bad. Please don't quote me next time, I'm allergic to dull people.

CallmeCHIKE:
That was a foolish and stupid statement coming from that governor, who keep voting these 1diots in? Gov abiodun is a fool for justifying such an insensitive hike in prices

Honestly, I was shocked that a state governor could open his mouth to justify this crime against Nigerians. That Abiodun or whatever his name is, is a disgrace and wicked man.

Millions of Nigerians have sank into poverty since this pandemic, and millions more are on the verge of starvation if nothing is done, yet instead of these evil men in government to put in place policies that will ameliorate the sufferings of the masses, they deliberately choose to make it far worse.

Buhari is the worse thing that ever happened to Nigerians. I wouldn't say I warned them because it's already too late. Everyone is now suffering it.
I doubt if there is any business that is breaking even in Nigeria today. Hundreds of thousands of people are being sacked because businesses are no longer profitable.

Almost everyone has turned to beggers in Nigeria. The funny thing is that those begging don't even know that no one is comfortable again. I have personally stopped giving myself except on critical issues because I don't know what lies ahead.

We simply can't continue like this, something will definitely give!!

The only practical way to save the sinking ship is to cut off the NE and NW. These are the two regions that ruined Nigeria. They are fatalists, self destructive and no future ambition people. Unfortunately for us, they're also the ones calling the shots which means they will successfully achieve their aims ultimately.

We should either cut them off completely or minimize our relationship with them through restructuring otherwise we are doomed.

Honestly, I'm shocked at the all the ridiculous and ignorant posts that litter this thread.

Lol, they are all crying blood and pouring spit everywhere because they heard that Ngozi Okonjo Iweala took up American citizenship

They felt she has abandoned them to their hopeless situation in a hellish Nigeria, and thus has betrayed them

Lol, having dual citizenship is almost normal with people of her status. I'm even surprised she wasn't an American citizen until now despite having schooled and worked there for donkey years and all connections and influence there.

LWKMD, Nigerians are funny people indeed. I don't know if it's a lack of proper education, enlightenment or biting hunger that is making many people to reason so myopically

Well, psychologically, I think understand a bit why some Nigerians are crying bitterly over this development.

They have seen that Nigeria is like a sinking ship, and while pirates are invading it, to maim and pillage whatever they can find before it finally goes under, the most trusted hands on board they hoped would protect them keep living in tug boats

They will even be shocked to discover that most of the those that destroyed this country or are still doing so already have dual citizenship and would live with their families once sh1t eventually hits the fan.

If anyone deserves to have dual Nigerian/American citizenship in this country, then that person is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala yet she resisted the urge for so many years until now when it became very crucial for her to do so. That to me, shows she is still proud of her roots despite all.

The "our oil crew" and "we are not Igbos local champions" are too timid, too scared and lacking in foresight to know what is good and right for them and pursue it.

They can't think or act smart, even if it's just for once.
Instead of their leaders and youths to brainstorm, call a meeting and take a unanimous decision over these terrible situations, they will keep mute and be forming ethnic nationalities that are made up of little villages In the North, villages that are far flung and not contigous will band together as Hausa or Fulani even when such identity is in doubt, but because they understood that there is strength in unity, they stick together and pursue their interests with one voice, but here, villages were decieved to cut off ties with one another even when there is overwhelming evidence of their bonds, and they were told to isolate themselves in the name of ethnic nationalities even when they're just minute villages The result? They're pillaged, exploited and dehumanized with reckless abandon and despite all, they still can't decipher why all these evil is befalling them.

NASTYNASOSO:
BUA Group signs France’s Axens for new refinery project

The new project will go head-to-head with Nigeria's other large scale refinery project, being built by the Dangote Group.

France’s largest hydrocarbons group Axens has won a contract to license key refinery technologies to one of Nigeria’s leading industrial conglomerates, the BUA Group.

For Rabiu, the economics of the project are a ‘no-brainer’: “Nigeria imports 90% of it’s petroleum products. We spend 35% of our foreign exchange on importing petroleum products.”

The new refinery, with a capacity to produce 200,000 barrels per day (bpd), should be operational in 2024. By comparison, the Dangote Group project will produce 600,000 bpd.

The bidding process was managed by energy consultants KBR, which will also be handling subsequent rounds for the engineering and construction phase, currently underway.

The refinery will be built using an undisclosed mix of debt and equity, with several development and commercial banks in negotiations with BUA Group.

Lol, the oil is in Niger Delta but the companies drilling the oil are based in Lagos and pays tax to Lagos State government

The crude oil is in Niger Delta but the oil well owners are largely Northerners

The crude oil is in the Niger Delta but the refinary builders are Northerners who are building the refineries in Lagos region

The crude oil wealth is gotten from the Niger Delta with nothing on ground to show for it except polluted rivers, farmlands, gas flares and acid rains but the proceeds are seen in other places

The funny thing is that the actual mugu in all these crimes against humanity thinks they're wise and smart while those they always see as dull are the ones who have completely used them as slaves

By the time the "our oyel crew" and "we are not Igbos" local champions realize what has happened to them, it will be very very late.

The most thoughtless, unreasonable and self hating people in the world has been discovered

psucc:
They can never disappoint.

The true image of the Yoruba citizens

They're very confused and never love themselves right from the beginning. If not for the British, they would have finished themselves in the kiriji wrestling fights while the fulanis cleaning up what is left.

Their Muslims are always willing to obey the North even at the expense of their people. Muric is a typical example.

Ordinary group that was formed last year now has an opposition by themselves

Now compare that with Biafran agitators that are uncountable yet there does not exist a single opposition except by our politicians. We have one voice in our believe that Nigeria is not working despite our Republican nature.

I really pity them, because the worst thing that can happen to any zone in the emerging chaos is to be confused and not knowing what you want.

Yugoslavia is a good example.

Tinubu said he doesn't believe in Nigeria before 1999, but when he became governor and eventually a godfather, he became a believer in Nigeria. Maybe, now he has discovered that the gambaris have used him and are about to dump him, he no longer believes in Nigeria.

The afonjas believe in Nigeria is conditional but unfortunately for them, they don't have the mind to challenge the status quo.

i knew something was afoot with the speedy development of Kigali..

Now I knw: igbos are pushing them toward their apotheosis in growth


kigali is a force to be reckoned.

Just imagine Kigali that was like Enugu, P.H. or other average Nigerian towns back in 1994 when they had the genocide but today it now looks like Dubai. However, on the contrary, all the Nigerian towns have stagnated and are nothing to write home about.

Furked up country!!

It has become apparent that Igbos have largely abandoned the bastardized and sinking ship of Nigeria and are now providing their services in sane climes.

Since 1970 when Yorubas and Hausas teamed up to upstage us in Nigeria, and entrenched mediocrity, that was when the country went to the dogs and became a laughing stock in the global community.

Such a shame!!!!

Everything is all about future tense in Nigeria. Nonsense, wake me up when it becomes a reality.

The country is already doomed. Anything beyond the current madness will be nothing short of anarchy and that is when the UN will step in and call for referendum that will end Nigeria.

Huriwa una own don do.

Finished or not finished, Igbos like am like dat

If it takes over one year to renovate an airport and yet the work is less than 50% completed, then how long does it take to build a standard airport from start to finish? 10 years??

Airport renovation is not rocket science, if they truly want to renovate the Enugu airport, it won't take up to six months to complete it but look at how they're playing with it.

Black race is at the bottom simply because of our mindset. Black race ought to go extinct because they're evil.

flyingpig:
very callous of them. Yet threads castigating Igbos are opened daily on this platform for yorubas to dance naked in.

Their primitive mindset is the reason why the site has refused to grow over the years.
Pettiness, clannishness and ethnocentrism is their Hallmark.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

flyingpig:
they closed down that your thread?

They did!

These guys are something else. Such a big shame.
