Too long an epistle to justify this govt’s ineptitude

Cross river needs special intervention!

Ever since they lost their oil producing status, the state has been on a slippery slope..

That state is our last hope on tourism

Anambra from number 13 in 2016 to number 6 in 2017 shows significant growth..

Whatever is going on in anambra is worthy of emulation.

Ebonyi on the other hand fell horrendously....I suggest umahi leave Ipob and focus on his state

Here’s 2016 report

BudgIT, a reputable NGO today launched its annual State of the States.

This report was twitted via their handle

They didn’t come to wish him well...

They came to eat his money...

This is why most of these guys steal our money..to satisfy long-throats around them

I saw it too..

Even the first paragraph explained the whole story but most people jumped on the “murder GEJ” band wagon on reading and misinterpreting the topic.

Goes to show you 90% of apc supporters are brain dead..

Sarki, madridguy etc will all disappear now

Nukilia:
Operation peace in the North
Operation crocodile smile in the South

God is watching the hunter

the south deserves what they get.

Instead of the south to unite, a particular region in the south be claiming sophisticated.

I laughed when I read this

Someone should tell me the definition of irony and how it applies to this?

Nigerian Army personnel attached to Exercise Crocodile Smile II allegedly killed one Sadiq Ismaila, 20, and fled with his body to cover up the crime.

Four others including Paul Abudu and Bridget Afolabi were injured in the incident which occurred The incident occurred around 1:30pm, at Oniru Block Village, Lekki on Tuesday.

It was gathered that the soldiers, who came in a convoy comprising three armoured tanks and eight Hilux vans, had on Sunday stormed the neighbourhood and arrested 76 persons.

According to The Nation, the soldiers shot sporadically, sending residents and workers scampering to safety. Ismaila, who was packing blocks in the village, abandoned them on hearing the gunshots.


About 65 of those arrested were handed over to the Maroko Police Division, which transferred them to the Lagos State Taskforce on Environment. Others were released at the army barrack where they were allegedly subjected to hard labour and made to sleep in the open field.

According to a food vendor, Rosaline Adedipe, the soldiers shoot Ismaila, because he refused to stop when the soldiers ordered him to do so .

"They shot him on the head. He was packing blocks when the army men started coming to his direction. People were running and Sadiq ran too. They told him to stop but he refused. He ran towards the fence and it was while he was standing by the fence that one of them told the other one: “Wait! I will kill him”.

“Then, that one fired a shot on his head and Sadiq died on the spot. By that time, they had arrested four other persons. They now told the four men to carry his body into their Hilux van and they fled the area. This is the spot where it happened. See his blood still showing on the ground, despite that sand was used to cover it up.

“What the army people did was very wrong. Sadiq neither drank nor smoked. He was just doing his legitimate job and they killed him like that. Those behind it should be arrested. Let justice be done for Sadiq.”

Narrating his ordeal, Abudu told The Nation that he was running like others when they saw the soldiers but suddenly fell.

“One of the army men followed me. When I fell, he jumped on my arm with his boot. I cried and he left me there. That was how I broke my arm. I am not a criminal. I do not smoke marijuana . I ran because they were just arresting people anyhow.”
Afolabi, who sustained leg injury, said she fell while running to avoid being victim of indiscriminate arrest.

He, however admitted that there were some people who indulged in illegal drug abuse.

Reacting to the incident, The Block Village Chairman, Bola Ekundayo, urged President Buhari and Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to probe Ismaila’s death.

“I know Sadiq very well. He’s a young man from Oyo State. He just recently finished learning tailoring. He was packing blocks at the village to save money," he said.

“He neither drank alcohol nor smoked. He was very gentle and respectful. Most of us here are block makers. This place used to be a ghetto where they smoked marijuana but the police have flushed most of them out. So, we renamed it Block Village because we are into block business. Why did they carry his body away after killing him? Is it not because they wanted to cover up their crime? When I heard of the incident, I called the Divisional Police Officer (DCO), Maroko, on phone and told him but he did not come. We are poor people here. Everyone here is afraid because no one knows when the army will come again to cause another trouble.”

Condemning the incident, a lawyer and President, Yoruba Council of Youths, Aremo Hassan vowed to get justice for Ismaila, adding that he was already compiling evidence to formerly report the incident.

“I am at the scene. I have spoken to some of the eyewitnesses and I have also seen the spot where they shot Sadiq. I have seen his blood-stained clothe. This atrocity must not go unpunished.” he had said. In a broadcast message, Hassan wrote:

“Please I just got a distress call that men of the Nigerian Army code named ‘Crocodile Smile 2’ attached to the Epe Army Barracks, without any provocation have killed one innocent man, Mr. Sodiq Ismail, 20, from Ona Ara Local Government Area in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“The soldiers left with the deceased body in their armoured vehicles to cover up their atrocities. The incident occurred during their rampaging show of strength. Kindly alert the whole world of the evil, injustice and killings committed by them.”

Peter Obi placed him under house arrest when he said he came to “monitor” elections in anambra...lol


When Peter Obi asked him to show his certification to prove he’s an electoral monitor, he didn’t have any.

Never lie to a wise man...igbos are too smart for these people, bt they don’t realize it

Dead region

Military..how market?

"To remain a gentle man, never borrow money you cannot forfeit"

Borrowing money tends to bring the worst in many people.

Nigerian army’s insatiable appetite for blood Has got the masses panicked

whateverkay:
No one is dividing anything. The igbo business men in lagos and other parts of Nigeria making their millions dont give a rat ass about biafra. Biafrans are frustrated people brainwashed by nnamdi kanu. We will never let anyone divide Nigeria. Together we stand divided we fall

biafra struggle didn’t start with Nnamdi and it won’t end with him.


Now you want to divide the igbos along south east and Nigeria lines shey?

You folks seem lost

whateverkay:
We love igbos but we hate biafrans. Igbos are patriotic Nigerians while biafrans are treasonous people filled with hate and bile for the Nigerian state

i didn’t see “biafran igbos” on those signs

I didnt hear the Nigerian army asking who is biafran igbo and Nigeria igbo before opening fire at market squares in Imo

Stop decieving yourself

Igbo is igbo

Folks like you have tried to divide Igbo with religion (Jews vs Christians), with party (apc vs pep), with geology (enugu vs anambra)..now you’re using Biafra vs Igbo

Igbo bu igbo..stop trying to divide us

Realist2:
hope it's not another chest beating?.

buratai has been currently banned from USA and UK pending investigations..


By the time the investigations are concluded, arrest warrant will be issued.


No be chestbeating my guy..these are actual happenings

whateverkay:
Enough of this biafra thing. One Nigeria we shall remain

but in 2015, you and your folks wanted igbos out bah?


Seems “one nigeria” is only to your benefit
