tsdarkside:They are Deltans now says darkside...with dark magic. We know una... |
helinues:How can you blame people who are defending themselves? Igbos were killed in the north caused by a coup led by a man from your so called Niger Delta. The Igbos left your SW and the north and returned to the east. Then Awolowo couldn't fight the soldiers and he advised that blockade will be better to subdue them. How was that Ojukwu's fault? Food were coming from Caritas, Red Cross and World council of churches and Vatican. If Awolowo had minded his business in SW, you wouldn't be crying that people should stay in their region. Igbos would have been receiving the Ghana treatment from your country by now, which they would have preferred. But you blew it because of your greed for the oil in the eastern region and to replace Igbos in the civil service. Igbos didn't need any coup to dominate at that time as they were in top positions in government. So don't call it Igbo coup. |
tsdarkside:What is Delta? Like you advised Igbos stay or enter the Lagoon? Fear don catch this one. |
tsdarkside:But you are already using skulls for menu...so? |
helinues:Stay in you region...like seriously...? Even if you were born yesterday, you would have known that Awolowo the first coup plotter starved up to 3 million child en to death to make them return to SW and the north in 1967. Is it my fault that history was removed from school curriculum? So how many times do you want them to return to their region? Again take a look at the pics of the shitty Aba and weep in pains....as it is more developed than Oshogbo the Osun state captial. Remember Aba is not a state capital... |
tsdarkside:Yeah! Better than your kingdom...Isn't it strange? |
helinues:And who want anything to do with you accommodators?... You just take up names and appear to talk on behalf on people from SS forgetting that Igbos are also part of SS. Again a shitty 5% is better that you big for nothing 97%. Will that sink into your brain? |
helinues:Accommodator !A shitty Aba is better than any capital of your Niger delta... Is Shina Rambo, Gododgodo and Adeola Williams aka Ade Lawyer better than Nwafor? Recently arrested 39-year-old vicious assassin, Adeola Williams aka Ade Lawyer, has confessed that he has killed over 100 since assassinating people was his source of livelihood.“But now I’m born again,” he said while being paraded. Williams, a father of three from Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, was recently arrested over the killing of one Ganiyu Ayinla, aka Pinero, who was the P.A to Adekunle Lawal, aka Kunle Poly, the NURTW chairman in Idumota, Lagos. https://www.nairaland.com/4403021/ade-lawyer-meet-assassin-killed

Ezennwa:You know your enemies...? They are the ones that make up your vast mega churches after the indigens, and pay tithes which the owners use to build their mega schools and by jets. They are the ones you fall over yourselves to marry than other tribes in Nigeria. In UK and US..check the marriages there too. You are the enemy. The northerners are plain and straight forward...If not for their killing nature...they could be better. |

PDPdestroyer:Nice response on Taqqa sharia lies...abi |
Arrewa:Taqqa and lying is part of your culture... Aba is better planned than the arid Kano. Remember Aba is not capital of Aba state. This Aba.

Flier:I said 2019? Read my post again. |
laidima88:Have you been banned from remaining in Britain after you worked to gain independence from them? |
Flier:Which protest vote? Why didn't you use protest vote in 2019? The vote in which the same old politicians will send thugs to destroy the ballot boxes while the security agents stand and watch?
|
Flier:You believe your vote counts? You should have known that only the parties sponsored by these leaders who are part of $600 billion rape of Nigeria treasury are allowed to stand. Its either PDP or APC for now. Those leaders move around these parties. The have no morals or political principles. To beat them in their corrupt game, you will need to have loads of cash. Sudan and Belarus have different ideas. |
@Arrewa... The World Bank Board of Directors has approved $500 million credit from the International Development Association (IDA) for the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE). World Bank approves $500 million credit for Nigerian girls’ education It also said that nearly 80 per cent of poor households are in the north, which makes it very challenging for them to cover the direct and indirect costs of schooling.

Most projects in the north is either from the FG, World bank or IFC. |
Arrewa:This man! You love deceiving and lying to people. These projects are WORLD BANK assisted project because of Boko haram. People reading your posts will think that Borno state government did them with their monthly allocations. https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/nigeria/brief/northeast-nigeria |
Rossinky:Why do you pick random pictures from other places to deceive people that work is going on? These three roads you have up there have been on the same spot since 2015 that APC claimed work has started on those roads. Mark this thread. Those roads will not be completed by 2023 when this government will leave. So stop deceiving people. |
amc:. You might be talking about your state. In SE most motorist use the state roads to navigate the gully Federal roads that is being repaired since 1999. I know you are trying to be mischievous as you know the truth. The FG concentrates on the north and SW. What about the loan the FG talk and excluded the SE in the projects to be executed? What lies will you tell about this? |
Bialegend:Lugard knew we were too different. Even Tafawa Balewa the first prime minister confirmed this in 1958. Nigeria is a like a torn cloth of different fabric whose owner continues to patch it without any success. |
Arrewa:Do you also want the army, police and customs mostly from the north on roadblocks in the SE to relocate to the north? https://www.nairaland.com/6177641/over-300-army-police-check-points #BringCheckpoint ToNorth ![]() “Between Enugu and Onitsha, there are 17 police checkpoints that I enumerated on one trip. There are police checkpoints, some police and army combined. The commercial vehicle drivers drop the money on the ground" Nwodo ex-governor of Enugu state. I bet you have less than that on Kaduna to Abuja road taken over by Fulani militias. |
Haywhysat:Every region should be semi-autonomous. You don't need to go to Abuja for building your roads. One region can decide to build their road and toll it...keeping the roads in good shape...while the other region might decide not to toll their roads and have them in bad conditions. Its up to them and their people. This is against the current situation where the minister in charge in Abuja decides which roads to build. |
People we are getting somewhere. The handwriting has been on the wall for all to see, that the nation is not working at all. |
Say it’s most viable option now and foreseeable future …https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/10/restructuring-northern-leaders-root-for-12-state-structure/

I blame the weak leaders of the region for this problem. The uninspired leaders told ipob to relax, that they would take their problem to the federal government, but they have not done anything. Now I blame the youths of the region for allowing this to continue. If the leaders are adamant, let the people protest simultaneously in all the towns and cities in the region....in House of assemblies, government houses and houses of the so call leaders. If this is sustained for days and weeks, the world would notice, like they did with #EndSARS, and the extortion, harassment, stealing will end. |
This is definitely more than you get in NW and NE where there is literally...war Can our southern neighbors from SW help on this with protest to end this? This is not the time to be selfish #EndextortionAndHarrassmentInSE |
…Harass, intimidate citizens … Motorists lament massive extortion Stakeholders condemn the ugly act By Our Reporters THE South East zone can rightly be said to be under siege by soldiers and police that have mounted checkpoints almost at every two kilometers in all the major roads in the zone. From Aba to Umuahia to Owerri, Enugu to Abakaliki, Awka to Onitsha to Nnewi, the story is the same. From Aba to Enugu, a distance of 150 kilometers, there are at least 12 army checkpoints and over 16 police checkpoints, permanently mounted and a couple of stop and search police teams. The situation has been a source of worry to motorists and other road users in the zone, some of whom have described it as an embarrassment and an assault of the people of the zone. Recall that during the last South East Security meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo raised alarm over the multiple police checkpoints in the zone with the attendant extortion of motorists, harassment and intimidation of even passersby. Abia: Army, Police checkpoints having bazaar on motorists In Abia, Aba-Umuahia, both the expressway and the old road have several number of army and police checkpoints; Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Bende-Ohafia road and the Umuahia-Owerri road are not left out. The motorists plying the Abia State section of the Enugu–Port Harcourt expressway and the old Aba-Umuahia highway have been lamenting the extortion, harassment and intimidation they pass through from the soldiers and policemen at these checkpoints. Vanguard observed that soldiers in Abia engage the service of young men who stop motorists, collect money for them at various checkpoints. They extort money based on the size of the vehicle. Big vehicles, like trucks, tippers carrying sand or chippings, give as much as N1, 000, while those conveying containers are forced to pay much more. Buses are extorted between N200 and N500 and the amount could be higher if the bus is overloaded with commodities. It is a similar situation at checkpoints mounted by policemen but their own is done with brazenness as they even negotiate and give change to the motorists. One notorious police station involved in this illegal act is Ndiegoro Police Division in Aba where a ‘Civilian DPO’ once held sway, arresting and detaining residents who purchased their freedom at very high prices. From the Imo gate border between Rivers and Abia States to the boundary between Abia and Enugu State, it is always extortion bazaar by soldiers and policemen at the multiple checkpoints on this route. READ ALSO: Kidnapping: Kaduna outlaws checkpoint on Abuja-Kaduna highway It is further observed that similar situation takes place along the old-Aba-Umuahia highway. From Acho Nwakanma junction to Obikabia junction A distance of 5 kilometers, there are over 7 police checkpoints harassing motorists for ‘roger’. Attention is always focused on buses from Akwa Ibom/Cross River who came to buy goods from the various markets in the city. The Police in Aba have also converted the Aba–waterside bridge to a checkpoint where they extort money from motorists, especially tricycle operators. Despite warnings boldly written at these army checkpoints, that no bribe should be given or taken, the soldiers never obey the warning as they embark on their extortion spree. Most guilty are the checkpoints at Asa High School, Ukwa West; the Isiala Ngwa junction; as well as another at Itungwa on the old Aba–Umuahia highway. Others include those at Obikabia junction in Obingwa council area and another one on the Umuahia–Ohafia highway. Even the Federal Road Safety Corps are not left out of the menace as they now openly collect bribe from motorists. A motorist, Ikechukwu Chijioke, narrated to Vanguard how he was once assaulted by a soldier for refusing to part with N500 at a former checkpoint at Ndiolumbe, Isiala Ngwa South council area. On August 7, 2019, a soldier, Lance Corporal Ajayi Johnson shot dead an okada rider, Chimaobi Nwaogu, for refusing to part with N100 at a military checkpoint at Ohanze in Obingwa council area. For riding past the checkpoint, Corporal Johnson pursued the deceased to his community, Umuokereke Ngwa, a distance of about 6 kilometers from the checkpoint, and shot him dead. This illegal act by the soldiers and police is a source of worry for people in the zone. The chairman of the Civil Liberties Organization, Aba unit, Prof. Charles Chinekezi, lamented that the security agencies in the state have abandoned their duties and focused on extortion of money from the people. Anambra: Motorists already used to situation In Anambra State, the story is the same. Motorists plying the roads in the state know what to expect from the security operatives who position themselves on the various routes anytime they drive out from their homes, which is that they have to part with some money to be able to reach their destinations. Between Awka and Onitsha through the expressway, which is a distance of about 40 kilometers, there are checkpoints at Amansea (Police), Aroma junction (Police), Umuopku (Road Safety), Umuopku (Police), Enugwu Agidi (Police), Dunukofia (Police), Awkuzu (Police) Awkuzu (Road Safety), Nkwele Ezunaka (Police), Borromew roundabout (Police) and Bridge Head (Police /Road Safety/ Army). Along the old Enugu–Onitsha road, there are checkpoints at Amansea (Army), Mobile Police junction (Police), Zik’s Avenue (Road Safety), Enugwu Ukwu (Police) and Ugwu Nwasike (Police). On the Onitsha–Owerri road axis, there are also checkpoints at Oba, Ozubulu, Okija, Ihiala, Uli and Amorka and all these are points for extorting money from motorists. Some commercial drivers who spoke on the issue said there are checkpoints that collect N100 while others collect N200 and above. For Road Safety, the amount to be collected depends on the number of charges recorded. Mr. Johnson Onuigbo, who plies the Onitsha-Awka road said the drivers already know the amount to pay on each trip, adding that what they do is to keep the money aside and just hand it over once they approach any checkpoint. “Police checkpoints are even better than those of Road Safety because we just bring out the money and hand it over. There is only trouble if the driver refuses to drop the money, in which case you waste your time and that of the passengers. “In the case of the Road Safety, you have to park your vehicle and then approach them and hand over the money. The amount is between N500 and N2000 depending on what one is carrying”, Onuigbo said. Former President General of Onitsha Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, OMATA, Chief Ozoh Anaekwe has also expresses worry over the several security check points in South East, saying they are crippling the economy of zone. “The activities of the security men particularly the Police, Army and Navy, at the check points have become a source of embarrassment to Nigeria, this is because foreigners come into this country and pass through these checkpoints. “ I am really embarrassed by the level of indiscipline that is now common with the Army as regards extortion on the roads and at check points without minding who is watching them. Soldiers of the Nigerian Army have become shameless over extortion at the checkpoints. We are asking the Chief of Army Staff if he is not embarrassed by the high extortion being carried out by his soldiers in the South East; he should answer that question, why they are mounting of military check points on the roads under democratic government.” Enugu: Police checkpoints cause long queues In Enugu, many checkpoints are mounted by soldiers and police along Enugu-Abakaliki highway, Enugu-Aba and Enugu-Awka as well as those along Nsukka road and between Nsukka and Benue State boundaries. There are also checkpoints mounted by men of Air Force at Penoks Bus stop and at Emene, near the Akanu Ibiam International airport. Within Enugu metropolis, Police check points cause long queues along Abakaliki express road at peak periods when residents go or return from work and business. Annoyingly, what takes place at these checkpoints is extortion of money. It is observed that the new extortion style of police in the state is targeted on market routes, where they mount multiple checkpoints and collect tolls from commercial vehicles that convey goods, especially food produce, to and from the village markets. On an Orie market day, Vanguard observed that seven police checkpoints are mounted between Ibagwa-Nike and Orie Ugwuogo, a distance of ten kilometers. Between the same Ugwuogo and Opi junction in Nsukka localgovernment area there are another eight checkpoints including a military checkpoint that all collect tolls from motorists heading to the Ugwuogo market. Still on the same Ugwugo market are other four check points that take care of commuters emanating from either Nkwo Neke or other rural markets in Isi-Uzo local government area. This ugly acts of the police prompted a group of legal practitioners in Enugu state to petition the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, demanding for justice over an alleged assault on a colleague, Mr. Nwanneka Agwu, who the lawyers said was dazed by a group of police officers at a checkpoint in Trans-Ekulu Enugu for no just cause. Imo: Police extortion ‘toll gates’ now new normal The case of Imo State is interesting. The people call the daily extortion as “toll gates” which has become a new normal in the state. While military checkpoints are mounted at definite locations on all the major federal highways in the state, most police checkpoints are itinerant, not for any known operational reasons, but for obvious financial gains. Army checkpoints have since become money spinners. The modus operandi adopted by the personnel posted to the checkpoints are the same. They hardly check any vehicle or collect the monies themselves. They all have able-bodied young men working for them. It was noticed that while the soldiers sat comfortably in their tents, the stick-wielding boys take full charge of the checkpoints. It was also noticed that it has since become a routine that all articulated vehicles stop and “pay their allegiance” to the soldiers before continuing on their journey. Ebonyi: Army openly extorting motorists In Ebonyi State, the extortion by the various security operatives became too much for motorists plying the road, forcing them to recently block the road at the boundary between Enugu-Ebonyi on the Enugu-Abakiliki expressway to protest the extortion and harassment by police. According to one of the drivers who gave his name simply as Chukwuma, the policemen did not only extort money from them but also manhandled any driver who refused to comply with their monetary demands.

okeyglm:Honestly I don't know what it will cost the government to plant trees along the airport road for serene ambience. When the officials travel abroad, they see all these things, but lack the will to replicate them at home.
