That's a Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system.

Old but very effective as displayed in the recent Syria War. Not only is it very accurate, it is also mobile which makes it very hard to destroy.
The recent model is the S-400 & I hear the S-500 will be combat ready soon.
Israeli, Turkish & US planes can attest to the efficiency of this AK-47 of the missile defense industry.


BUT my question is;

Boko Haram has no fighter or bomber jets we know of. Their attacks are 100% land based.
So what exactly is the purpose of this S-300?

Grand multiple rocket launcher mounted on a fancy truck not S300 or S400.

Nnamdi Kanu Is A Scammer and Coward, Igbos Are Ijaw Slaves” – Dokubo Threatens To cope with Kanu

Former leader of Niger Delta Militants, Asari Dokubo has lambasted the chief of the Indigenous human beings of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and additionally defined the Igbos as Ijaw slaves.

In a new video, Asari threatened to address Kanu if he tries any nonsense and discovered that he is not a gentle guy but authentic Ijaw man.

He defined Kanu as an ungrateful person who is attempting to rip-off anyone however it’s far not possible due to the fact he (Kanu) cannot rip-off him.

“I no be gentle man at all, in any respect, I be Ijaw man original. due to the instances of my delivery, on how i was raised, that anyone wants to be mad and dance naked inside the market, and i will allow it. ”

” Me too, i will throw shit at him, if he desires to bath within the gutter, i’m able to bath with him. There are several allegations which has been made, one is that I’m a citizen of Benin Republic, that I’m now not a Nigerian that Wikipedia stated but I stated that’s the cheapest lies because it’s far Wiki gossip.”

“it’s far quite simple, any investigative journalist must go to Benin Republic and check if I actually have residential allow in that region, I simplest move there as an ECOWAS citizen and i pass and come again “.

” That government became paying me 10 million bucks, it is all lie. what is $10m to me whilst Goodluck changed into in electricity?”.

“He stated he gave me N20m, wherein did you deliver me the money? How? inform the arena how you gave me N20m, to mobilize Ijaw people? For what? ”

“i have been IYC President, Deputy, and vp, if you need to look mobilization, come and you’ll see actual mobilization, not that factor you’re doing, scamming humans and you may name it mobilization”.

“My human beings love me, true love however you ran away. you’re hiding but I’m in my village and i can no longer run like you.”.

Asari similarly stated that Kanu betrayed his people and found out that the IPOB leader despatched his humans to him to take care of his protection.

according to him, “you betrayed your human beings to be arrested. And whilst we are talking, you’re running your mouth. You known as me a coward however you positioned your protection in my hand.”

“You despatched more than one hundred human beings to live with me for months. You known as me and instructed me that the way things are, we have reached a critical degree that you need me to handle your protection. Am I a member of IPOB? “, he asked.

He stated that he isn’t always a member of IPOB and warned that he’s going to release the list of the people that Nnamdi Kanu despatched to him for education.

He found out that the people who stood at Nkwo and Onitsha head bridge are all Ijaw boys and none of them became trained via Kanu.

“when I’m speakme, you may speak or your minions will speak? who are you when I’m talking? Nnamdi Kanu! What a shit of name “.

He described Kanu as an ungrateful character who is attempting to rip-off all people but it’s far not possible due to the fact he (Kanu) can’t scam him.

Asari stated an Igbo man can in no way cook dinner for an Ijaw guy and warned Kanu by no means to mention he’ll prepare dinner for him.

“Taa, can an Igbo guy cook for an Ijaw guy. You no learn history? go and read your records and know the relationship between the Igbos and the Ijaws and recognize who was the master.”

“Our relationship was grasp and slave courting. we’re the master and you had been our slaves. How dare you talk in the front of me? “he concluded.

Odingo1:

Why do you people always trying to change history because of your hatred for the Yorubas?

See o Na lives!



Igala colonisation of northern Igbo states (1450–18th century


The first "Ata", the title given to the ruler of the kingdom, was Ebule- Jonu, a woman; she was succeeded by her brother Agana- Poje, the father of Idoko. Idoko would later succeed him as Ata, and had two children Atiyele and Ayegba om'Idoko (Ayegba son of Idoko), Atiyele the first son of Idoko migrated eastward of the kingdom to establish Ankpa kingdom while Ayegba the second son of Idoko succeeded his father as Ata'Gala. He led a war against the Jukun, which resulted in victory. Idakwo Micheal was appointed as the new Ata in December 2012.[3]

The ata-ship of Igala rotated among four branches of the royal clan. Igala Kingdom was founded by Abutu- Eje in the 7th century. The kingdom was ruled by nine high officials called the Igala Mela who are custodians of the sacred Earth shrine.

Igala colonisation of northern Igbo states (1450–18th century).

The Igala mega state attained the height of its fame during the mid-17th century. The rise of the Igala mega state disrupted and contributed to the shift of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from the Bight of Benin to the Bight of Biafra and the decline of the Benin Empire between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Idah-Benin war (1515-1516) was a war of mutual independence. The Igala state reached its political and commercial supremacy afterwards, when it became a leading exporter of choral beads, horses, medicine, skills and of course, slaves to the coastal region. Its growing power, nevertheless, changed the dynamics of the earlier complex relationships with several northern Igbo communities. Joseph Hawkins in 1797 already captured the relentless raiding of the extreme northern Igboland by the Igalas.

In his "A History of a Voyage to the Coast of Africa" he noted the growing conflicts between the 'Ebo Country' and 'Galla'. By the late 17th century, the Igalas conquered and held socio-economic, political and religious control of the indigenous northern Igbo mini-states. From Opi (archaeological site), Nsukka, Nsugbe, several Igbo communities on the Anambra River, the lower Niger, through Okpanam to Asaba the Igala held sway. Trading out post with Onitsha and the Ijo middlemen were fully established. The mythical Omeppa, Inenyi Ogugu set up garrison at Opi (archaeological site) and several Igala warlords played their part in the buildup of the Igala colonial take over of these northern Igbo states. But no other individual played a greater role in shaping Igala-Igbo colonisation during the 18th century than Onoja Oboni, the legendary Igala warrior and slave trader.

Onoja Oboni's personality and heritage has been shrouded in mythical imagery over time. Ranging from being the Son of Eri, the grandson of Aganapoje to being a descendant of one of the Idah royal families; the priestly sub-clan of Obajeadaka in Okete-ochai-attah. The key areas of consensus are; he was a master strategist, slave raider and trader, conqueror, coloniser and imperialist. Added to these were his diplomacy, expansionist traits and the acculturation of conquered territories.

He built himself a walled city in Ogurugu and recent archaeological findings of the remnant of the ruins of his fort on the grounds of the University of Nigeria Nsukka confirm this. The Igala soldiers built forts and fortifications that stretched from Ete down to Opi (archaeological site) and then to Anambra. Oboni's rise to power affected the history of the North-western Nsukka and the Igbo communities on the Anambra River and the Lower Niger during the Igala commercial and socio-cultural ascendancy and domination. This was the reinforcing of the golden age of Igala imperial expansion. In this way, Igala mega state took control and allegiance were paid. Until the decline of Igala power, the Ezes of Enugu-Ezike, Akpugo, Nkpologu, Ibagwa Ani and Opi continued to receive their titles from Idah; investiture, installation and confirmation of their office was only by the royal blessing of Attah Igala in Idah.

The Eze were only validated when they returned home with Igala choral beads 'aka', staff of office believed to be imbued with protective charms to ensure longevity and security of the Eze as well as prestige animal (horse) to bolster up their ego. There were also periodic royal visits to the Attah Igala to pay tributes and as well intended to strengthen diplomatic ties and inter-group relations, renew allegiance, and assured insurance from slave raids. In terms of indigenous technologies, the Igala soldiers built factories (forges) for manufacturing Dane-guns, ironworks, carving, introduced arrowheads with tip-poison from sting ray; cloth knitting, terracing of Nsukka hillsides and brought in a well developed political and social hierarchies.

At this time Igala empire had become a cultural exchange hub for other emerging states; the influence was felt as far north as the Nok civilisation and down east to Igbo-Ukwu civilisation. Till date many of the Igala-Nsukka borderland remain bilingual. On the religious level, the Igala installed their own priests – the Attama – as the custodian of the dangerous Alusi, shrine, took control as mediators between the spirit and the Igbo communities, presided over divinations and fashioned 'Ikenga', 'Okwute' (ritual staffs) that combined both Igala and Igbo religious elements. The Attama thus became the major agents of Igala socio-cultural control.

Several efforts to keep the Attama lineage Igala failed, eventually the priestly office has been greatly igbonized, even though the nominal Igala identification is still predominant. Many of the northern Igbo state settlements have lineages with Igala names, cultural practices with marked Igala modification and adaptations. The use of Igala circular basket in contrast to the Igbo rectangular types persists till this day. By the turn of the 19th century, the Igala empire was too large for any reliable and robust central control. Internal decay and implosion set in.

The Fulani jihadists started contracting the Igala imperial power, conquered territories in the north switched tributes, forced or/and seceded from the Igala empire. The Bassa war added more pressure to the war-weary empire. The abolition of slave trade brought in untold economic recession. In 1914 the British burnt down Ibagwa and Obukpa as a punitive measure. By the 1920s, Igala empire was a spent force and a limping shadow, the British easily took over control of both Nsukka and the Igala territory.

The Egba- Dahomey War of 1851 - 1864


The Egba-Dahomey war, as the name suggests, was a war that broke out between the two neighboring kingdoms of Egba and Dahomey (now the Republic of Benin) over territorial expansion caused by the quest of the latter to stabilize her economy. The Egba-Dahomey war was the third of the destructive wars that plagued the Yoruba nation in the nineteenth century, proceeding the Owu-Ife war: 1821-1828; and the 1840 Osogbo war.
In the 1820s and 1830s, the old Oyo empire, also called Oyo-Ile, witnessed a lot of political unrest which gradually faded her leadership role in Yorubaland. The Dahomey kingdom, which was then part of the Oyo empire, seized the opportunThanks ity to declare herself independent from Oyo in 1830 but soon discovered that the independence wasn’t worth it because of her extremely low economy caused by her barren northern land where probably only plantain could grow, and the crumbling slave trade at the coast which the kingdom had really depended on for several years.
These agonizing situations made the Dahomeans reach an unconsidering conclusion that expanding their territory is the only solution to their economic problems, and the only place where this expansion was possible was in the east towards Egbado and Ajase-Ipo which were part of Egbaland, and in the south towards the port of Badagry.
Egba Dahomey Map
A good look at the positions of these kingdoms on a map will show how uncomfortable this expansion would be to the Egbas who instantly opposed the idea, stating the inconveniences it would bring to them. On the other hand, the Dahomeans failed or refused to reason with the Egbas probably because of their desperation to resurrect their collapsed economy. It was on these ground that the disastrous Egba-Dahomey war broke out.
In 1851, the Dahomean army (which was made up of women), under the rule of King Gezo, marched into the heart of Abeokuta, the capital of Egba and unleashed havoc on the unsuspecting Egbas. However, the heavily armed Egba army, even though unprepared, was able to repel the attack and killed many of the Dahomean armies, while the captured ones were made slaves. Later, in about 1853, the Egbas revenged by attacking and destroying Lefulefu and Referefe, two towns at the border of Dahomey, with little resistance from their inhabitants.
The concerted efforts of the ‘Amazon women’ (Dahomey women warriors) to defeat the Egba army is a surprising and important aspect of the Egba-Dahomey war that cannot be left out. Due fo the fact that women are considered better at home, catering for the family; in the kitchen, preparing food; or at the market place, selling or buying goods, it may then be amusing that Dahomean women instead of men fought in battles. But these women, Amazon women, were ferocious, muscular, and highly skilled in torturing and decapitating their enemies. They were trained to endure pain for a very long time. If not for their bosoms, these women, whom no one dare underestimate, would be completely mistaken for men. The Amazon women or ‘N’Nonmiton‘ (which means our mothers) as they were called in Fon language, were even said to be stronger, more skilled and ruthless than the men of Dahomey. Jean Bayol, a French naval officer, who visited Abomey, the capital of Dahomey, in December 1889, said he watched how a young N’Nonmiton-to-be Dahomean girl named Nanisca, who had never had blood stains on her hands, killed a prisoner in cold blood; “she walked jauntily up to the prisoner, swung her sword three times with both hands, then calmly cut the last flesh that attached the head to the trunk[…] She then squeezed the blood off her weapon and swallowed it.” This indeed shows how brutal the Amazon women warriors were trained to be. But however, they were no match for the Large, well trained and equipped Egba army. The over 3000 Amazon women, under the command of the Dahomean king, Gelele the son of Gezo, were defeated again in 1864 when they attacked Abeokuta for the second time. Dahomey kingdom was then forced to sue for peace which thus ended the long time enmity between her and the Egba kingdom. It must be noted that this enmity between Egba and Dahomey had existed before 1851. According to oral history, in 1884, the Egbas, infuriated by the attacks on her communities by the Dahomeans, launched a surprise attack on Dahomey in which king Gezo was almost captured and his precious umbrella and sacred golden stool were seized.

After the war ended in 1864, the Egbas established their authorities on the disputed lands of Egbado, Ajase-Ipo and the port of Badagry. Also, the town of Ketu which assisted Dahomey during the war was attacked and destroyed by the victorious Egbas.


The above but your lies to rest as you cowards who have never won any really war in your history should cover your faces in shame.

Your tribe were slaves to the ijaws and a tribe in kogi which I won't mention for now.

Levi218:
A scrap picker oh? even so he stabbed the guy to death, why? Did the police police arrest the scrap picker for taking the law into his hands by killing someone? But did you listen to news this morning, police saying it was six gunmen that attacked the yam-zone killing Hausas that were selling their market, WAS THAT WHAT HAPPENED? After that one ended they even went ahead to murder the prince in the night, why? Or just to raise harvork in the society? Nonsense people are they.

Na wa O! I didnt listen to the news but i was around Intels yesterday and heard Police vans speeding towards Obigbo and back; As a result of the noise, a pal wanted to know what's happening and he went outside to check but to return with one of my stated narrative while one of our drivers gave another different narrative this morning.

May GOD help us.

Levi218:
Oh my God, this country is realy on fire. Is it because the president is related to the Hausas that they to be protected even when they are wrong. Through out that yesterday we could not sell because that place was near our market. The real truth is that this Hausas that pick scraps stole someone belongings and kill that person when he tried to protest, that was an Akwa Ibom man. And the Akwa Ibom reterliated, this was what caused all the riot, and in the night they went to the prince resident and murdered him. Chai this Naija even the police lies to citizens. I now begin to believe this Nnamdi Kanu about Biafra, this people have an agenda. You can see how this scrap vendors behave on the highways, they would'nt give chance to vehicles they just feel that the country belongs to them. Haa God save us oh

Are you sure he stole the motorcycle? They said he claim to have bought the bike from someone when confronted by the Alkwa ibom guy who said it belong to him and the guy attacked him and he retaliated by using his dagger to stab the guy to death.
