Maybe you guys should stop making hoodlums your leaders
Gani Adams is nothing but a refurbished tout! A carpenter who hyjacked OPC from Fasehun. No formal education, no serious training for leadership, just a retired Awawa boy parading around as an emergency elder.. The government can easily compromise such buffoon!

You also have MC Oluomo being programmed for greatness. Slowly, you guys are starting to "mainstream" the chap. A stark illiterate with countless murders and violence in his resume, but who cares! You sing about him, get him to visit police stations like an elder statesman! Next we will hear is that he's running for office or that he is the substantive Òne kaka-whatever!

Isn't that the same way you guys burnished the image of a hardcore drug peddler and crowned him the king of local politics even when his dubious past was there for all to be astounded with. In power, your jagaban has promoted cult activities in ways never seen before! Lagos is now being suffocated by cult groups with violent members running into tens of thousands. From Lockdown to Endsars, Tinubu boys kept Lagos busy!
The problem is corrupt leadership and a penchant to glorify misfits while rocketing them to the highest positions in the land! That's wrong on all fronts...

Racoon:
The era of Lt.Gen.Salihu Ibrahim as COAS during the Babangida era is the most memorable.The man is a humble & professional soldier to the core.Abacha's era during same IBB time is the worst till date.

Salihu was the guy who tried repositioning the army for the first time post war. He once described the Nigerian army during his valedictory session as "an army of anything goes".. Telling, with the benefit of hindsight...

juman:
Irabor hails from Agbor in Delta State.

The new CDS is igbo man.

He hasn't told you so..

tsdarkside:
that is a very insultin thing to say....

Better to be insulted than to be beheaded...

tsdarkside:
Rugaria

even you yourself behave wild....
you think you can just declare a ol tribe as criminals....

what does that make you....??

In the federal republic of Rugaria, to survive, you have to apply "wild solutions" to "wild problems"..

IPOB want to be the only voice in Igboland.That is the reason why Ohanaeze ndi Igbo leadership is under constant and unprovoked attacks from IPOB rather than work with them.
Some people last week launched what they called Biafran army why didn't Ipob support it?, rather Nnamdi Kanu was foaming in the mouth threatening them.
Uche Mefor opened a Radio station IPOB termed him a sabo and goes to his page to insult him daily.
IPOB stand is that the solution(Biafra) must come from Kanu their saviour or no one else.Meanwhile Biafra is very very far from IPOB as Biafra independence is not been discussed anywhere in the world both locally and internationally.

It's not being discussed because general agitations have not reached the right crescendo.. It's step by step, no matter how faulty. Biafran agitations can only attract the much needed global attention if it's persistent, vociferous and widespread! At the moment, the groups in the vanguard of this agitations are not yet there. But is chickening out the alternative? Is abandoning the ship going to get the agitations to the promised land? I don't agree with all of the guys tactics honestly! For instance, I think it's simply boneheaded to be abusing the western governments almost every day. I mean, yes, they supported Nigeria during the war and that's the main reason we're where we are today, but they are still in charge of things globally and can easily wreck your movement if they consider you to be anti-west.

Best bet would be to atleast, pretend you will do business with them. If it even means "dashing" them some, as the federal fulani government has done in order to have them by your side, do so! After all, that's the quickest path to political success in Africa... But Nnamdi hammers away at Britain and the rest imperialists at will. Strange! That said, you have to come to terms with the fact that by keeping the igbo question on the front bunner for years now, dude has revatilised the brutalized political psyche of the average Igbo man and has helped push igbo interest pretty vigorously through an uncanny brand of fervent political evangelization. In the process, educating igbo youths on the importance of demanding for their rights now and now. That should count for something if you ask me...

This is a sick excuse,.. that cement prices went up because of covid! Very convenient excuse to make.. The truth is that a "Cement Mafia" headed by Dangote and his brother Rabiu are desperate to make stupendous gains from cement sales at the detriment of the welfare of Nigerians and we have a very sectionally minded government that is not ready or willing to lift a finger and do the needful in order to save poor Nigerians! The cement majors have the country on a chokehold! 5000 naira for a bag of cement!? When they're selling cheaper in other countries where they have production facilities! We are dealing with a group of invaders who are not interested in the betterment of the country. That's obvious because no patriotic entrepreneur or good government will sit by and allow the price of such an essential commodity to skyrocket in this fashion! How can you build a modern country without cement? Folks should have known better! But the government doesn't care because we're being led by a set of people who prefer cave existence and mud houses to any sort of city life..

Keep telling yourself lies. At the appropriate time, you will start facing the truth! The president of the country who is a fulani has refused vehemently to arrest or prosecute fulani hoodlums involved in countless massacres! As we speak, in this Nigeria, many middle belt communities are now being occupied by imported fulanis after killing and chasing away the indigenous owners who are now living in IDP camps! They have given the communities new fulani names the same way they changed Hausas Gobir to fulanis Sokoto! We have the police, the army and other paramilitary organizations but nothing serious has been done!

Security agencies know the camps of these herdsmen killers in the bush but will be dragging legs instead of taking actions. Governor Elrufai came out openly to confess that they know these fulanis and where they're coming from and that he has even gone to Niger to pay them in order to "appease" them... Then, after all these, in your best judgement, you feel the best people to term themselves are the same fulanis! Can't you see you like telling yourself lies? You are like the proverbial ostrich that likes sticking it's queer head into the sand, rather than control it's nemesis! You don't like facing the truth and that my friend is suicidal..

Ojiofor:
I am staunchly anti IPOB but pro Igbo in every aspect,you will never see me in anti Igbo activities in this platform or anywhere else.
IPOB is a cancer to the Igbo nation that must be surgically removed.
We don't have Igala migrants or fake Jews in any part of Abia state where I come from.You are talking rubbish.
IPOB miscreants like you can never speak for Igbo nation.The founder of the so called IPOB(Nnamdi Kanu's version of MMM) is a confirmed scammer,liar,deceiver and cheater that the whole world have ignored his daily internet rantings.MNK is the leader of Igbo outcasts and undesirables like you.I don't belong there.

You don't think it might be helpful if you take a deep breath and take a second look at stuff? The way you guys are going about this Nnamdi kanus stuff, you risk throwing away the baby with the bathwater... Don't know if you have anything personal against him but I think that constant agitations are needed to get anything for the marginalised! You may not like his tactics, but where are the alternatives? When the army attacked his house, he went under for months. Yet nobody spoke up for igboland as vociferously as he does!! If folks feel his style is against their principles, they should start off their own group, let's see if that may help. But to argue he should shut up when nobody else wants to speak up is to me, counterproductive...

Those are the real weapons! You can take down any relatively obscure military post with a couple of those weapons

IamAtikulate:
You know them.

My best friend in Lagos has four shops, he is using one to sell retail provisions and drinks.

I am using one shop as packing store. I have other shops close to that location.

Two of his shops became vacant and I approached him for the shop. He agreed.

I told him I want to start selling wholesale pack drinks and I want to start next week with 1000 packs.

Dude no gree give me shop again.

He sells only retails and I want to sell only packs and in wholesales.

Before meeting my friend for that shop, I met another woman. She sells drinks also but in retail like my friend.

She refused to rent the shop to me.

I met one man that has spare land in front of his house. I told him I will give him money to build two shops there and rent them to me.

My friends told me never to try am or I go hear am from those two Yorubas that refused to rent the shop to me.

For context:

I have two shops in that junction. I am using one of the shop as packing store and it is the same building with my friend I earlier mentioned in the story.

My other shop is in another building but close to my packing store. That shop is owned by the woman I mentioned in the story.

She didn't allow me sell drinks, so I sell other things.

The man I met to build the new shop has the land just by the side of my shop not the store.

Yoruba people, fear them. They hate competition.

You have to be careful.. their idea of competition can be lethal. That's why you read about poisoning and rituals a lot. They don't see it as you want to "compete".., they see it as you want to challenge their power... It's the culture, stuupid!

Typical..

Epunch1:
my brother you will be shock to know that the person you think your replying is not even an igbo man i swear. FG irates are everywhere o thats their format o divide and rule tactics

I think I have to start ignoring some of these irritants... It's starting to become very obvious that most of them are nothing but impostors..

Badorey6:
Is that also why there is only ONE Yoruba Chief of Army staff since 1966?

Did we die?

I told you to stop wailing and disturbing sane minds online!!

That you lack ambitions shouldn't be my headache! It's the same way you handed the country over to some wild cultures and today you are forming Amotekun to guard against your creations!
Even at that,
How many Yoruba C-in-Cs since 1966?
How many Yoruba GOCs?
And why should the north dominate perenially?
Is the military, customs and police some properties of some sections of the country?
If you're culturally prepared for subservience to your desert gods, some other people are not! So instead of fouling the air with your convoluted logic, you should rather scurry back to which ever hole you wriggled out from when any other group feel the need to demand for equality..

RuddyFusion:
And Yoruba in other top security post......people self

If you lot want every position for yourself, just get your brand new republic! That way, you can appoint your likes to every important and non-important positions.., from cooks to president without anyone asking questions! But trying to impose your will on others and making jest of it will ultimately end in premium tears someday...

Badorey6:
Those are elective position.

What’s stopping the Igbos from contesting an elected position for president and Vice President?

Did Igbos not have Senate Presidents, Major ministers, and etc too?

Did Igbos not have VP pre-1999 in person of Ekwueme twice?

Did Igbos not have a ceremonial president in Azikwe before?

Guy if you don’t know what to say, shut it !!

And because those are elective positions, that's why there has been only ONE igbo Army Chief since 1966!? Oyah, go ahead and defend the indefensible as usual....

Badorey6:
Below is the list of the Chief of Army staffs since 1999:

— Lieutenant general Victor Malu (1999-2001)

— Lieutenant general Alexander Ogomudia (2001-2003)

— Lieutenant general Martin Luther Agwai (2003-2006)

— Lieutenant general Owoye Andrew Azazi (2006 - 2007)

— Lieutenant general Luka Yusuf (2007-2008)

— Lieutenant general Bello Dambazau (2008-2010)

— Lieutenant general Azubuike Ihejirika (2010-2014)

— Lieutenant general Kenneth Minimah (2014-2015)

— Lieutenant general Tukur Yusuf Buratai (2015-2021)

— Major general Attahiru Ibrahim (2021-Present)


There is no Yoruba on the list at any time. Did we die?

You guys just like wailing for hobby!!

But there was a Yoruba president! A Yoruba vice president! And Yoruba major ministers!
Guy, if you don't know what to say, just zip it!

To warn every body in advance; This was the guy that was the commander of 82 DIV Enugu, during those days of endless massacres of IPOB protesters from Aba to Onitsha and from Nkpor to Enugu! A very haughty fellow who failed miserably as the field commander operation lafiya whateva, he was replaced basically because of his incompetence. For a long time, it has been rumoured that he might be appointed to this position. With his wayward disregard for lives, folks need to be ready for more massacres and total disregard for human lives and the rule of law.. This guy should be at the Hague and not at Army headquarters..

ndukwechinasa:
Na you are not just an ordinary fool...... A fool at forty.

Any problem?

tot:
It's mutual. The hatred they have for him is alarming as well. They call him lifeless vegetable, the dead one, Jubril, call the country a zoo, and then are surprised when nothing changes.

Lol
Clap for yourself! They hate him that's why he hates them! What a convenient excuse! It's a round table and it keeps turning! It will get to una turn someday...

Brendaniel:
The hatred this guy has for Igbos is alarming.........

Makes you wonder the kind of things and decisions the make in secret about the Igbos... Talk about your worst enemies being your ruler! Also a food for thought for those who think he can ever hand over to an Igbo! That won't happen..

System202:
This can never happen in Africa

Thabo Mbeki resigned... Jacob Zuma also resigned! The leader of Lesotho resigned few months ago.. Even in floundering Cameroon, Ahmadou Ahijou resigned, that's how Paul Biya came to power.. Ethnic alligience and fear of ethnic persecution are mainly the chief reason why it's always hard for most chief executives in Africa to resign.

Vistra40:
It is not the duty of government to construct those things you listed. It is the job of individuals. The only thing government has to do is to build infrastructure necessary to enhance development

Government can set out to use the huge amount involved as some sort of "soft loans" to SMEs operating within the state, to start off such agro-based industries across the state. Get one of the commercial banks to manage the process of disbursing such funds to the most technically gifted entrepreneurs in the field with the best business plan and instead of the business men going directly to obtain loans from these banks at cut throat interest rates, you as the government will provide these billions for such businesses. The Chinese have similar programs.. Doesn't make sense?

Use the bilkions for this plaza to construct a chain of huge fish farms, big ranches for cows and goats or poultry farms across the state in collaboration with seasoned farmers/entrepreneurs, and more jobs and sustainable productive industries will be guaranteed! But we like gigantic elephant projects in this country that will only sell Chinese goods while beutiful Ebony state still remains the a rural enclave..

Asgard13:
Lol
Ificatchmod na till 2031.. my man weak..

Lol,
2031?
Bad belle mods everywhere..

Inkling:
What if another round table talk doesn't work?

Mind you during those time of dilly-dallying your people are being killed.

Head or tail, Igbos will always loose with that guy.. Stop wasting your time on him..

BabaOwen:
The worst of all is that, Taiwan is within range of the PLA artillery.

Told you they are sitting ducks and they know... Toasts! Many PLA soldiers went into the military simply because of Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan... This is not a country you and I know, where young clueless men go into the military hoping to get innvolved in a coup to become either governors, ministers or president someday.

It seldom snows in Beijing.. Are they going to import snows from Heilongjiang?

That's what they should be doing.. Not moving from one kindergarten to the other like perennial peodophiles arresting toddlers for dancing to Niara Mailey...

Btw,
Where those "guns" made from some bamboo trees? Looks like firewood..

Neddstark:
Yes in your hometown and the civilian casualties will be your people.

Fear fear man..
I'm from Orlu and we are paying our deus for freedom as I speak to you! Man up and be strong! Stop shaking like a pregnant woman about to be delivered of some triplets...

Neddstark:
Yes there will be a 2nd civil war in the East and only in the East. Other parts of Nigeria dont give a hoot and will find a route towards peaceful resolution. If una like, turn your land to Somalia while all the other regions move forward.

War will come to you whether you like it or not! Unless you will prefer they use your fingers and ears and maybe your abunna too for barbeceu...
