We will be here arguing and fighting each other about tribes and religion...

We will be here talking about who will be the next president of Nigeria...


Terrorist and bandits will take over this nation, by then it will be too late to salvage the situation.

I just pity the innocent northerners who are at the receiving end of this insurgency

Viewers discretion is advised.

Just what this Facebook video and see how bad our country have gone.

It surprises me that despite the threat posed by insecurity in this nation, it's Peter Obi always that govt spokesmen will always respond to.

People are dying every day, our young soldiers are been evaporated from this world, yet the central govt is more worried about 2027 than the life of average Nigerians

RightChanneI:
You want Muslims to answer all these and you don't want insults and attacks right

Why should the answer come with insults.

Plz no insults and attacks.

I just need a sound explanation to the above questions that I asked.

From the last Ramadan to today, I have been following what's happening in some western countries, but I just can't help but ask these few questions.

1)Why is it that during Ramadan, if Muslims sees their neighbours or friends eating, they tend to get irritated and cursing the person for not fasting. Then in some Muslims countries or areas, you tend to force people not to eat in public and close down restaurants.?
You guys usually say there is no compulsion on Islam.

2)Why is it that when you go to countries that are not islamic country, as your number grows, you guys tend to impose your laws and religion on the locals. Why can't you respect each other, practice your religion in your home than forcing it down the throats of your host.?

3)Lots of Muslims are committing atrocities all around the globe in the name of Islam.. You claim it's the extremists doing it, but the vast majority of Muslims who are not extremists will not speak up against those atrocities?

4)Here in Nigeria, after ECOWAS called for the absolution of blasphemy in western African countries, we saw some Muslims on Nigeria shouting that anyone who insults the prophet will be k:!!£d, the noise was all over social media, but we never saw any Muslim come out to refute them and saw that such k:!!:ng is against the teaching of Islam.

I like what trump said... Common sense. Lots of world leaders lacks common sense that's why the world is in series of conflicts.

Another useless leaders are those two Sudanese generals. Killing Thier own people senselessly.

When they say women are confused being, they will think we are insulting them.

Women will be shouting, "we are not sxx object".

Same women will sxxualize themselves in the name of my body my dress, I can wear what ever.

Its baffling how it had to take the intervention of the supreme court before some people came back to their senses.

The high ranking police officers are involved in the extortion, hence no matter how the citizens cry, police wont stop extortion.

Perfect example, take a look at Onitsha - Asaba Niger bridge, the extortion going on there by the police is very massive. And due to the extortion, there is always hold up on the Asaba axis of the brdge. Despite all these and numerous calls by the citizens to dismantle those road blocks, they still wont dismantle it.

Thundafireseun:
You don’t even know the information that was given to my friend…. Meanwhile that’s story for another day…. My point is should bank staffs be allowed to give out virtually all information about a customer??

Do you think it’s everyone that could differentiate between a true customer care representative and a scammer posing as customer care representative?

Most of the information scammers get, are constructed through the victims social media handle. Putting one or two together, they can gather accurate information about you.

Also there are some banking app especially fintechs that once you enter ones BVN, all his details will come out. Getting someone BVN can be done through permutations using any valid BVN as the basis.

Am not exonerating bank staff, but most of the time, they have nothing to do with the leaked information.

When buhari was doing he's own, Una no talk... Make nobody come disturb us.

Those big weight championing the conquering of this country knows what they are doing. They have so divided the south that a state will be under attack, then the next state will be laughing saying it doesn't concern us. They know what they are doing, and too bad that even the citizens have followed them blindly insulting and attacking one another.


The south will be attacked, next minute southers are already shouting at each other due to tribalism instead of them to join hands and face the enemies.

Why always Muslims.

Later they will be saying it's Americans that is sponsoring the terrorists. If not your bad religion, who in his right sense will receive money from foreigners just so you can kill your own people.

Religion of peace indeed.

World war is definitely around the corner...

Make them sha leave Africa outta it.

But when the people you are begging protest against the government for bad governance, Una go still come shoot them ..

Benue have been attacked again.

Two attacks in less than 24 hrs and someone is saying all is well with Nigeria.

It's high time we all go our seperate ways.

Owontime:
Says an IPOB goat who lives in Lagos,if Nigeria devides where are you going to live? In Onitsha?

I don't have time for people like you.

To your tent o Israel ...

Make every man arm himself and him community...

They are using money from the ransom to get more arms and more recruits. Time will come when in broad day light, they will attack cities like the state capital because they know that with thier sheer number and weapons, the security can't do jack.

This country will divide sooner than we expect, but it's too bad that we might not divide peacefully.

This division is not because IPOB succeeded in pushing for independence...
It's not because Yoruba nation succeeded...
It's not because arewa group or any other group succeeded on pulling out of Nigeria....

The country will divide because the central and state govt have failed to act on their primary responsibility, which is to secure lives and properties.

We all are seeing how the country is burning, from job to Benue to Enugu to ekiti to Katsina to zamfara etc... killings perpetrated by one particular group of people.

Everyone eyes is opening, and people are beginning to see that govt careless about their situation.

The anger is boiling and the boiling point is fast approaching.

When the people decide to take up arms.

The fight will be the people against the terrorist who may now be supported by army in the guise of trying to respond to the crisis.

This will further anger the people and the govt will lose control, leading to self realisation by every region.

If govt knows what is good for this nation, they should better arrest this insecurity issue before it gets out of hand.... Oh I even forgot, all the govt cares about is their pocket, this is why state of emergency is declared in rivers state, but can't be declared in Plateau or Benue.

Am not mincing words... More than 70% of our police officers who are on patrol are criminals. Their aim is just to forcefully extort money from the citizens. They go as far as kidnapping you and demanding for ransom. They burgle your home and steal from you.

When they succeed, you maybe thinking they are armed robbers, but if you put up a defence and kill or injure them, they come out as police and tag you criminals for trying to evade arrest.

No joke, 40-50% of kidnapping happening inside town in the south east are likely carried out by police officers.

Go to the east and see how they move in sienna and buses with plain cloths. Is that not how UGM operate. They will come and double cross you and kidnap you take you to unknown location and collect ransom.

This is a known fact.

This is a wake up call to the people of Enugu-Ezike and Obollo. Don't allow what happened to Eha amufu to get to you.

These terrorists are currently dealing with Otukpo people in Benue state, you all share border with Otukpo local govt. Once they are done chasing them away from their land, they will come for your guys.

The tactics is, attack, kill as much as they can, then the survivors will flee the village. Next the herdsmen and their women will come and occupy the village. If the villagers did not come back, those lands are gone.

They did it in Plateau state and they succeeded. They are currently trying to do it Eha amufu, but I know they will not succeed cos the average Igbo man knows his father's land and will not leave it in the hands of strangers even when his not in the country. But currently, herdsmen are settling down on those Eha amufu land.

Also this is a wake up call to the entire southerners. Keep on fighting one another when the real enemy is out there killing and conquering your lands. Soon you all will have no place to call home.

I gave you an array of names, so it will be easy for you to give video clips and newspapers reports.
I am waiting for your response.. I don't need tantrums, just shut me up with evidence

My brother...

Non of them have said anything meaningful.

Whois:
I went on a journey of 300km within southwest. (Lagos to saki in oyo) the military road blocks I saw on the road were not up to 3 to and fro (they didn't show extortion vibes) the few police check points I saw were after their local bike men (for extortion) not we travelers unlike when I did nysc service in Enugu.

I served in nenwe in aninri local government, it's a border town to imo State. I experienced the injustice one Nigeria army is doing to south Easterners the day I went to visit my friend at umudike in abia State. It was as if civil war is ongoing in Nigeria. Even a state in state of emergency no get check point reach those on south East highways

That's what people have been crying out for since. Yet the govt are turning a dead ear to it. The harrassment by security agencies on the east is too much. The killings and intimidation is too much too. Yet the eastern leaders aren't saying much about it .

All you said is fact. I ply these routes especially Enugu to Nsukka. Note: It's called Ugwogo Nike. You did a wonderful job. That road gives me bp each time I travel through it,and the worst part is that, there is no better option. The 9mile Udi old road to Nsukka is bad and dangerous too.

Moreover, from Port Harcourt to Enugu, through Aba, is something else. Me and my friend was charged 50k each last year for not providing the purchasing receipts of a 1999 and 2001 Sienna in Oyigbo. It took the intervention of the Police commissioner before we were released.

The annoying thing is that these checkpoints don't reduce kidnapping and armed robbery.

Another area they make money is by extorting young boys suspected to be "yahoo boys". In fact, I have experienced my clients being extorted 100k 50k, 40k with "abeg sir" when I was driving bolt in the East. They will arrest them without any evidence, tag them "yahoo boys" ,threaten to report them to cyber crime. The next thing is to drag them to a pos and extort them. Some of them use private cars with no Police inscription or number plate, and this makes it difficult for anyone to detect their presence.

The summary of this whole thing is that, we don't have serious leaders because I know that if a government did not do anything about a reoccurring problem, it means they are not interested in that.

Seriously, the check points are preventing the robbery and kidnapping going on there, hence what the need for it.

Like I said, I still have the feeling that 70% of security issues in south east are probably perpetrated by the police on plain cloth uniform, it's usually when the victim kill any of them, then the police will claim that the criminals are killing police.It all boils down to our leaders who are silent about it .

mrvitalis:
Mention one politician from the east who have not spoken about it? I dare you

My brother... Our Eastern politicians have not been vocal as it's supposed to be.

Peter Obi for example, who is currently the number 1 voice we have in the East have not been vocal as it demands.

sweetonugbu:
coming from rich4god, commendable.

I don't understand this statement... You mean I have not been vocal about some issues in this country.

illicit:
There is a guerilla warfare going on in the east...


I was apprehensive throughout my passage there to PH last time...

We even passed Ozobulu

I met one young nurse at a checkpoint in Enugu or Anambra when we were asked to alight and trek to meet our ride a few yards

Ibo girls can fine sha

You know the issue, the narrative that the media paint about the east is so bad that you will think every minute, there is gunshot in the East and no one is living there. But I stayed more than 3 weeks in four eastern states and 1 week in Asaba, every where is so calm, people go about there duty. I personally feel it's those security men that even fuel the insecurity. Cos how can you be in an area that you claim is under attack by UGM and yet you as a security man all you go about doing is to extort money from motorists without you been on alert to the job you were sent there to do.

The eastern state is so calm and peaceful, aside from Eha amufu herdmen attack and the kidnapping going on along Enugu Nsk express, (of which there plenty check points supposedly set up to forestall the kidnapping), I didn't here of any serious incidents that's a threat to human life and daily activities.

Penguin2:
The East is under siege.

Our region is more militarized than Northeast.

The way ended in 1970 but they are still fighting us.

Then they wonder why we are angry.

They wonder why Nnamdi Kanu has followers.

They wonder why Simon Ekpa has followers.

It’s because the people are frustrated and angry, and would always fall for anything that suggests a path to freedom.

Abuja to Kano, a journey of more than 4hrs has less than 10 check points, despite the kidnapping news we hear. Katsina to Kebbi road, despite the presence of bandits along those road, they don't have much check points. And the check points there dont harras or extort money from motorists.... Why is the eastern own different.

MadamExcellency:
There is no war going on in the Southeast. Every security apparatus was established to force Igbos into submission and allow the Fulani herdsmen to override the zone.

Every leadership and Security head posted to Eastern Nigeria must be Hausa/Fulani Muslim, especially in Military bases across the zone.

Ask yourself why there is maximum peace every time the government withdraw these thieves from highways. Most of the atrocities on highways are stages to keep these dear devils on the roads

That's just the issue... All these things boils down to the fact that our leaders doesn't care about us. They are the ones who need to be speaking up.

Mbanda:
And after extorting Igbos in their numerous extortion points, without solving any of the insecurity issues in SE, helinues will still call Igbos "enemy of the state" I wonder where that rubbish talk is coming from.

The extortion is so brazen. That of Umuahia to Ohafia, all the security agencies are on that road and it's mandatory for commercial drivers to path with #200, there is no questioning, else you will be delayed. Imagine paying #200 for more than 17 check points. Look at how much the drivers are loosing. Also imagine how much those security men are making per check point.

phorget:
SE is under siege.

It's no longer a secret.

HisSexcellency:
Politicians from the south east all ply those roads one way or the other,they see the checkpoints littered all over the place. But no one can speak ill of it, they all act as if they've been caged or barred from defending their people.
Something is terrible wrong with the "elder" or supposed leaders of the southeast.

Our Eastern politicians are the worst set of politicians in the country.

Look at gov Mbah of Enugu state, no one will tell me that he didn't sign away Eha amufu land to terrorist so that they can make him gov, because despite the killings going on there, the man is just silent.
