Politics › US Declares Borno, Adamawa, Rivers, Edo Unsafe For Citizens by Ritchiee(op): 4:55pm On Aug 04, 2016
Published on August 4, 2016 by · No Comments
President Barack Obama
The United States Government has asked its citizens living in Nigeria to stay away from twenty of the country’s 36 states which it described as unsafe.
The US Government, in an advisory published online on Wednesday, cited Borno, Adamawa and Yobe as a complete no-go areas.
It further listed Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, and Zamfara as unsafe areas.
The statement particularly urged vigilance around government security facilities; churches, mosques, other places of worship; locations where large crowds may gather such as hotels, clubs, bars, restaurants, markets, shopping malls; and other areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
The condition was in line with the severely limited ability of the US Mission to provide assistance to US citizens in those states and the risk of kidnappings, robberies, and other armed attacks, noting that criminals or militants have abducted foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens, from off-shore and land-based oil facilities, residential compounds, airports, and public roadways.
It noted that kidnappings remained a security concern throughout Nigeria, as criminal elements across the country orchestrated kidnappings for ransom.
“Security measures in Nigeria remain heightened due to threats posed by extremist groups, and U.S. citizens may encounter police and military checkpoints, additional security, and possible road blocks throughout the country.

Don't let me disgrace you here oo.

Yorubas are the only tribe to have been defeated by women.

Dahomey women warriors defeated yoruba soldiers such that y'll fled into abeokuta for refuge.

What a disgrace!!!!!!!

awolowo was the biggest coward for committing suicide.
CAN A COWARD DISGRACE A WARRIOR?
Fon women were warriors like the Yorubas not weaklings like the Biafrans but only a part of the Yoruba defeated them four times.If you don't mind,Ojukwu was such a gorgeous DAMSEL!!

www.smithsonianmag.com/history/dahomeys-women-warriors-88286072/


For the most part, too, the enlarged female corps enjoyed considerable success in Gezo’s endless wars, specializing in pre-dawn attacks on unsuspecting enemy villages. It was only when they were thrown against the Egba capital, Abeokuta, that they tasted defeat.

Ojukwu only put Banjo in front because he thought that would make yorubas understand that they were not the target, that we only wanted to come and liberate Lagos but he betrayed Ojukwu like the typical treacherous Yorubas that Yakassai warned about. cheesy
Stupidity at its peak.A yoruba warrior leading millions of biafra cowards to go and attack the stronghold of million of warriors with a mediocre plan from the greatest coward who was eyeing Ivory Coast in case he heard Scorpion Adekunle's footsteps?

Also, President of the OPC group, Dare Adesope who confirmed that the members of the group stormed the community explained why they did to Punch. He said, “On July 19, we issued a 14-day ultimatum to the militants to end their activities in the South-West and we said if they didn’t leave, we will challenge them and defend our people. That ultimatum elapsed yesterday (Monday).


After the military has finished the hard work the yoruba OPC as usual have come out from under their bed bug infested beds where they have been hiding showing us their rusty hollow shests. grin. grin


Yorubas always hiding behind others to fight. That is how they hid behind the north to fight Biafrans in 1967.


Where were they all along? They were issuing ultimatum from ten million miles away. Lolzzzzz.

The militants had been operating since and they were nowhere to be found. They abandoned the communities and fled for saftely only to come out shouting after the military has done the job.

This is the typical behaviour of vultures, always waiting for others to do the hard work then come out to pick the carcass. cheesy cheesy

OPC have no shame at all aswear. cheesy

[quote author=caracas post=48066149]Ur reasoning shows how shallow u are ,no one is talking about states here , what we are comparing are tribes n indigenous ppl.
Lagos might be the richest state in Nigeria but igbos are the biggest beneficiaries.igbos are also the biggest beneficiaries in abuja porthacourt n the rest of them.this simply means that they made the best use if the opportunit those states have to offer.
Every body knows without arguing that the igbos are the most successful n industrious tribe in Nigeria.
I know u still won't be able to discern this cos u are probably a motorpark tout or one of those educated illiterates from ur region.[/quote

Oh Gosh...I have gotten an illiterate Ojukwu to contend with today.Do you stay in Lagos or you have been swallowing the lies been peddled by your brethren in Ragos? grin
I told you to read those threads and you will observe that Yorubas have the highest number of companies.Yorubas control the economy of Nigeria.Yorubas especially Ijebus have the highest number of legit billionares in Nigeria...etc
Indigeneship is measured by the indigenous people of the state...Britain~ Britons...Lagos~Yoruba...Anambra~Igbo...Kano~Hausa etc.Let me burst your retarded bubble. .your lying brethrens do not have 1/10 of the landed properties owned by Kwarans who are Yorubas and those ones your people have will cease to be theirs in 99 years time if only they have Cof O...

Then why are the yorubas the poorest after the north.
Why are igbos the most successful tribe in Nigeria
Why do igbos ,a supposed visitor ,own more than half of Lagos .where in Nigeria can yorubas lay claim to as developers.
Why do igbos own 75% of the land in the fct .
For ur info igbos are adventurous n hardworking ppl
They are every where in Nigeria not just Lagos.in fact they are more in the north than in the west .
Go to kano kaduna bauchi ,nassarawa,niger,kastina sokoto ,benue kogi n even borno u wud see a huge size of them there .So igbos are everywhere even south Africa .imagine u claiming to have the ict in Nigeria,Chai ,wonders shall never end .
Even ur governor in ogun state is begging the igbos to come n replicate the wonders of Lagos in ogun .
The igbos are everywhere in the world showing their God giving gift of bin successful n progressive in all works of life.
Stop ur blind jealousy n hatred before it leads u to ur doom.
lol...you are really a dreamer.Go through these threads ...Lagos loses investors to Ogun state ...and... the hidden truth about Igbos...and... the poorest states by UNDP and you will know that Igbos are the poorest after the North.Yorubas are light years ahead of Igbos.I bet you are a trader who does not know left from right...

PDP Chieftain Faults Obiano on $5m Earnings from Vegetable Export

Obiano...a big issue on his hands

Gboyega Akinsanmi

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra state, Chief Okwuchukwu Okafor has berated the state governor, Mr. Willie Obiano for falsely claiming that the state earned $5 million from vegetable exports.

Okafor expressed disappointment at Obiano’s claims in a statement he issued at the weekend, noting that his administration “has not really done anything to positively impact the lives of the residents and citizens. This explains why the government has resorted to blatant lies and propaganda.”

He, however, insisted that the people of state “cannot be deceived by cheap propaganda and that at the appropriate time, the incumbent governor will be shown the way out of government house.”

The PDP chieftain, therefore, urged the governor and his cronies “to measure what is ground with his proclamation on the the day of his swearing in, and say in all honesty if he has performed or not.”

He explained that Anambra used to boast of the best road network before Obiano came “to power. When Obiano came on board, he declared a zero tolerance to potholes on the roads in the state, but what we have on the roads today are not just potholes, but gullies that have become death traps.

“Our Governor now moves from one church to the other telling the congregation how the state has become a leading exporter of Ugwu, bitter leaf and Okro. But he will not dare mention how much the state has generated through his fathom exportation nor show us the new rich farmers of these Ugwu, bitter leaf and Okro.”

Okafor urged the governor to forget the idea of seeking a second tenure, noting that he had made a mess of the first tenure he got on the platter of gold and that second tenure “is usually a reward for hardwork and not mediocrity.

“The other time, Obiano unveiled a privately executed street light project along Igwe Orizu road, Nnewi. Interestingly, his bunch of Internet reporters did not remember to tell the world how deplorable that portion of the road is and the fact that the street light project was never a state government project.”

Okafor stressed that the era of getting political acceptance through religious sentiments are over in the state and that a non-performer can never get re-elected even if he spends the remaining part of his tenure on church pulpits spinning fabricated stories to a now more intelligent congregation.

Okafor claimed that Obiano and his All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) cashed on the inability of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) “to put its house in order to present a credible and acceptable candidate for the last guber election noting that business will not be as usual in the next governorship election.”

look hw u are listing seaport as if u have 4goten the part of the country tht has made those ports functional.
Dont worry,by the time our igbo brothers leave lagos for gud u will rellocate all those agbero @ bus stops to sleep at Tincan,wharf & co.
Afonjas are the most lazy set of ppl we have in Nigeria & thts why they are scared of other southern part of the country from leaving.
morover,all other of those u listed arent generating or contributing anything to national coffers,thought u would have included cocoa.
The problem, if you talk about Igbos leaving Lagos is,they are reluctant to leave because you know why? shocked...LAGOS MADE IGBOS AND IGBOLAND AND THEY ARE READY TO DIE IN LAGOS.Look all over the world there had never been any place where Igbos had made it more than Lagos...
YORUBAS WORK MENTALLY HARD THAN ANY GROUP IN NIGERIA REASON THEY CONTROL 70% OF THE ICT WORLD IN NIGERIA.Have you ever wondered why management have more money and properties than the labourers? grin grin
Look into history and you will learn and know that Yorubaland had always been prosperous more than all the other regions even till now.Yorubas would be happy if they want to go and wont be perturbed if they want to stay.THE DECISION IS THEIRS... smiley

As of 2016, SystemSpec is the best software company in Nigeria. But do you who their Lead Software Engineer is? Uchenna Okpagu, while Joshua Ochoge is their Senior Java Developer.

I just used the software industry as a case study. The fact that almost all Software companies are in Lagos doesn't mean the Yorubas owe them. Most of them are owned by the Igbos. Nigeria was systematically skewed to make the Eastern companies dependent on Lagos.

When u talk abt print media, we as well make wave. As of 2016, Igbos owe:

The Authority, Mirror founded by Obasi now acquired by Jimoh, the Telegraph (Nwuke), Sun, Daily Champion, Bussiness Hallmark, Complete Sports, The Awareness, ThisDay, Daily Times, and host of others. Of all the whole print media in the country, The Sun is the best and largest selling paper with 80% sales.

Have Yorubas Cornered Nigeria's ICT Sector? by Eziokwu1: 7:38am On Oct 19, 2015
I can't help but notice the Yoruba domination of Nigeria's growing IT sector. For those who don't know, It meant Information Technology.
More than 80% of the country's new start up programmes, media houses, Websites, Newest innovations in ICT, E-commerce (Jumia, Deal Dey, Jobberman, Konga and the rest Etc)and especially the computer based Information technology sector have some form of Yoruba presence.

I am not cooking this up, I am talking from real experience here as I work in this sector, most of my good friends and co-workers are Yoruba, same goes for most other tech companies and startups, including those getting massive endorsements and money from abroad. While I don't think this is a bad thing I am just interested in knowing why and/or how come?

I am not saying other ethnic groups don't have a representation at all.
But in my opinion, Yorubas who supposedly make up 21% of Nigeria, make up probably 70% of Nigeria's new generation of aspiring ICT technocrats.

Research on 2016 statistics and u will marvel. But lemme help you with SystemSpec alone.

As of 2016, SystemSpec is the best software company in Nigeria. But do you who their Lead Software Engineer is? Uchenna Okpagu, while Joshua Ochoge is their Senior Java Developer.

I just used the software industry as a case study. The fact that almost all Software companies are in Lagos doesn't mean the Yorubas owe them. Most of them are owned by the Igbos. Nigeria was systematically skewed to make the Eastern companies dependent on Lagos.

When u talk abt print media, we as well make wave. As of 2016, Igbos owe:

The Authority, Mirror founded by Obasi now acquired by Jimoh, the Telegraph (Nwuke), Sun, Daily Champion, Bussiness Hallmark, Complete Sports, The Awareness, ThisDay, Daily Times, and host of others. Of all the whole print media in the country, The Sun is the best and largest selling paper with 80% sales.

Disembark from your ignorance. Thanks

[quote author=EzeNri post=48020417]Sometimes I wonder why pple sometimes become unnecessarily mischievous. I'll only reply your claim of Yorubas controlling 70% of ICT in Nigeria. The Yorubas are trying but shouldn't arrogate to themselves 70% because they are miles away from it.

Let me bust ur bubble with 2005 statistics.
