Antoeni: We Will Banish Iheanacho and Ndidi For Flying Nigeria Flag Instead of Biafra Flag. After All I Have Done For Them to Come This Far. They Said Their Generation Have No History With Biafra.And They Will Be Remembered As Coward. Say Nnamdi Kanu in His Tweet.
Rosskiiku: I know you are a dunce, but someone should have taught you that development is a process that takes decades and decades of investment, trade, setbacks, missteps, and forward leaps.
80% of nations on Earth are developing nations - what semi-literate buffoons like you call 'cesspits'.
None of them, including Nigeria will develop by a magic wand overnight, but by a gruelling, lengthy process, in which its citizens must be participants.
Let's talk about the BASICS, just the BASICS, nothing too grand or opulent.
61 years after Independence here is where Nigeria really is ;

Please sir, don't derail the tread from intellectual debate of looking at how my fatherland Nigeria can benefit to the usual shallow bigotry and unpatriotic gbosgbas sir. This is not IPOB terrorists versus Islam/Fulani discussion sir. Ejoor, Biko sir. Good night sir.
First off, I am not IPOB - thanks. Now that we have removed that out of the way, back to the topic.
Nigeria has no economy. 80% unemployment amongst the youth 90% unemployment amongst graduates 70% of the population live on than less than a $ per day 60% of pensioners living in abject penury Food insecurity due to worsening crime , terrorism and banditry putting the nations stability at high risk 80% of Nigerians want to flee the country
UK is broke. Since leaving Europe, the UK’s economy has taken a direct hit. The EU was their largest trading partner. They are desperate.
Vaughanlanrewaj: It's actually the same countries who will shore up their edge in Nigeria. It's unfortunate to the British that UK is in this position in the Nigerian economy. I still recall the last visit by former PM Theresa May, it was not even as strong in the media as that of Emmanuel Macron who spent days in Lagos and consolidated French interest in Nigeria. That visit by Macron even delivered a multibillion naira project in the heart of Ikoyi, Lagos for free to the French interest in Nigeria donated by Dr. Mike Adenuga.
As we type here, most of the strategic companies are moving gradually out of the UK to EU and it just slowed down due to covid-19. UK apparently abandoned the Nigerian market and today we built our economy literally without them so they will struggle but I think Nigerians are likely to embrace them again if they spend big in Nigeria.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel came here and got the big Siemens deal.
If they don't spend very huge, they're gone be dat! Nigeria is now way too big than where they 'left ' it.
Simplyleo: But I thought UK recognizes online country.
How comes UK prefers to transact with Nigeria rather than online country?
Is it one of those "intelligent" smart moves by lamidi cownu?
Though I heard lamidi cownu and Boris Johnson were in a closed door meeting yesterday. Based on what I heard, biafla and UK were about to sign a bilateral trade agreement.
Yet with all the huge trade deals Nigeria is still a cesspit.
Rosskiiku: You are right to an extent, but it helps Nigeria's business profile on the international stage, entering a major trade deal with an economic giant like the UK.
It will certainly invite previously reticent investors across the world, and their various govt trade departments, to look again in the direction of the African giant.
African giant
Nigeria will remain a global shit hole until it restructures. This trade deal will be of benefit to Britain and corrupt politicians in Nigeria. There will still be no electricity , good roads, employment and security. The plague of terrorism, herdsmen and banditry will persist. After all, what have past decades of huge trade deals and investments done to Nigeria ? Zero.
Well, we here don’t mind, we enjoy the benefits so no wahala. You guys will continue with the suffering and smiling.
thebosstrevor1: I am yet to see any invention from your people.
The only invention you people have done is swallowing of drugs and then having diarrhea at every of our international airports
Southerners are making great strides in the sciences, arts, economics, engineering , medicine etc while you guys are still roaming the bush with cows as your ancestors did for thousands of years. Primitive savages
thebosstrevor1: When your people were busy running naked, we were conquering nations
Those who were once naked have added more value to society than all your ancestors over the past 2000 years.
Conquering fellow nomads and Hausa . I am yet to see what you have achieved as a people; what progress, development, invention, improvement and prosperity you have brought into society . None, zero , zilch.
thebosstrevor1: Only great people are talked about, not only are they talked about, they are envied and feared. The great fula people fit into that category, we have been called names yet we go up and up, we have been abused, yet we go up and up.
We are the superior race, we take no for an answer, we conquer, we conquer, some people have used our name to create war, they have made a career out of our name.
Great fula people, who pass through all these blasphemy and still come out victorious, only the fula people.
Who have nurtured and created leaders willing to die for a cause, only the fula people.
We are born warriors, born fighters, born conquerors, we are great, the fear of fula people make people pee, who can spake that effect, of not us, who can.
Great fula people, born to rule, born to succeed. We are the greatest
You are only in power in Nigeria because of the British , if they takes their hands off you are finished.
You don’t produce anything, you don’t invent anything, you don’t develop anything , you don’t improve anything, you just parasite off peoples lands, resources and wealth and that time is coming to a bitter end.
By the way, I personally have nothing against Fulanis .
RapLawd: Stop disgracing yourself, Muslims in Nsukka are Hausas, Indigenous Igbo Muslims are very tiny that even their family do not take them serious... Nsukka Is 50%Christians and 50% Traditionalists... That mosque being the central mosque in Igbo Eze south can not boast of 10 Indigenous Igbos worshipping inside it every Friday even as big and as magnificent as it looks, Hausas are the one nacking head on ground inside it,
superjab247: As a Muslim I am not happy about what isreal is doing to our brothers in Palestine.we the giant of Africa can't sit down and watch isreal attack our peaceful islamic brothers.
We must attack isreal. the Nigerian capable millitary, must conduct operations against isreal and defeat the Isrealis.Nigeria under the capable leadership of general Muhammadu Buhari must crush Nethanyahu and his tiny isreali forces.
Nigeria must declare war against isreal the enemies of islam, and Allah would give us a quick victory.
The United States, has chided Nigeria over the level of religious intolerance and insecurity in the country.
The United States Department of State, in its 2020 International Religious Freedom Report on Nigeria, noted that the constitution barred the federal and state governments from adopting a state religion, prohibits religious discrimination, and provides for individuals’ freedom to choose, practice, propagate, or change their religion.
The United States, in its executive summary of the report, also noted that the Nigerian constitution provided for states to establish courts based on sharia or customary (traditional) law in addition to common law civil courts, although civil courts have pre-eminence over all other courts.
The United States further said sentences may be appealed from sharia and customary courts to civil courts, while also saying that in addition to civil courts, sharia courts function in 12 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the United States, “Customary courts function in most of the 36 states. General insecurity throughout the country’s regions increased during the year: a terrorist insurgency in the North East; brazen kidnapping and armed robbery rings in the North West and southern regions; militant groups and criminal gangs in the South South region; and conflict between farmers and herders over access to land in the North Central region. There were incidents of violence involving predominantly Muslim Fulani herders and settled farmers, predominantly Christian ), but also Muslim, in the North Central and North West regions.
“The government continued ongoing security operations and launched additional operations that it stated were meant to stem insecurity created by armed criminal gangs and violent conflict over land and water resources that frequently involved rival ethnic groups. Various sources said the government did not take significant measures to combat insecurity throughout the country; the International Crisis Group said that state governments relied heavily on armed vigilante groups to help quell the violence, which it said was counterproductive. Some said this lack of government response exacerbated insecurity and failed to address underlying causes. A report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) stated the presence of state forces was “too inconsistent and limited to protect or support communities, or mitigate and suppress violence.”
“The government continued its detention of Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, head of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), a Shia organization, and his wife despite a December 2016 court ruling that they be released by January 2017. All the other members of IMN arrested during the 2015 clash with the military were released by February. On September 29, the Kaduna State High Court rejected a motion filed by El-Zakzaky and his wife to dismiss the case. The court adjourned the case to November and later to January 2021.
“During the year authorities arrested and detained two individuals under blasphemy laws: Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, sentenced to death for blasphemy on August 10, and 16-year-old Umar Farouq, sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. Authorities detained Mubarak Bala, head of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, in April without filing any charges, although his attorneys stated they believed he was being held on charges related to allegations of insulting Islam on Facebook. The government at both the federal and state levels put temporary limitations on public gatherings, including religious services, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Most churches and mosques throughout the country closed in April and May, during which time state governments arrested both Christian and Muslim leaders for violating lockdown orders. Beginning in June, the government’s easing of lockdown restrictions included reopening religious houses of worship with prevention measures in place.”
The United States further said terrorist groups, including Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa (ISIS-WA), attacked population centres and religious targets and maintained a growing ability to stage forces in rural areas and launch attacks against civilian and military targets across the North East, according to observers.
“The groups continued to carry out a range of attacks targeting the local civilian population, including churches and mosques.
“Violent conflicts between predominantly Muslim Fulani herdsmen and predominantly Christian farmers in the North Central states continued throughout the year. Some religious groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) continued to express concern that this conflict had religious undertones. In addition to religious differences, local authorities, scholars, and regional experts pointed to ethnicity, politics, criminality, lack of accountability and access to justice, and increasing competition over dwindling land resources as among the key drivers of the violence. Attacks and killings attributed to Muslim Fulani herdsmen continued during the year.
“According to ACLED data, total civilian deaths numbered 2,454 during the year, compared with 2,198 in 2019 and 3,106 in 2018. Some domestic and international Christian groups stated that Muslim Fulani herdsman were targeting Christian farmers because of their religion. Local Muslim and herder organizations said unaffiliated Fulani were the targets of Christian revenge killings. Local and international NGOs and religious organizations criticized what they said was the government’s inability or unwillingness to prevent or mitigate violence between Christian and Muslim communities. Christian organizations reported several cases during the year of Muslim men kidnapping young Christian girls and forcing them into marriage and conversion to Islam,” the United States added.
The United States also said its embassy in Abuja, the consulate general in Lagos and visiting U.S. government officials voiced concern over abuses and discrimination against individuals based on religion and religious tensions in the country in discussions throughout the year with government officials, including the Vice President, cabinet secretaries, and National Assembly members.
“Embassy and consulate general officials further strengthened their engagement on religious freedom issues with a wide range of religious leaders and civil society organizations, emphasizing the importance of interfaith relationships. The ambassador and other senior embassy officials engaged with various religious groups throughout the year and delivered remarks on the importance of the respect for religious freedom at large religious gatherings. To mark Religious Freedom Day on January 16, the ambassador hosted an interfaith roundtable with religious leaders to discuss issues of peace and security and to promote religious freedom.
“In July, the embassy held a roundtable with prominent religious leaders from different churches and dioceses in the country and discussed the violence occurring in the country, providing an overview of challenges and opportunities for affected communities. Interfaith discussions sought to identify areas of consensus and narrow the gap between competing narratives over the drivers of conflict in the country. Embassy officials and the Counselor of the Department of State met with religious leaders to discuss religious freedom and security during his visit in October.
“On December 2, 2020, in accordance with the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, as amended, the Secretary of State designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” for having engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom and announced a waiver of sanctions that accompany designation in the “important national interest of the United States,” the United States disclosed.
PissfulProtester: I have always said it. The urchins that keep shouting Biafla are majorly those not benefiting directly or indirectly from the government of Nigeria and those Nnamdi Kanu has successfully brainwashed that Buhari wants to fulanize Nigeria. You know, Hausa/Fulani is the biggest threat to their dominance..hence, the baseless hatred
It is painful that despite putting their full weight behind the umbrella party at two different elections, they couldn't achieve their aim of installing the evil that will favour them. If elections are held again tomorrow, their candidate will most likely lose if they don't have support from the Yoruba's...To achieve this, they have started with romancing the good people of South West with sweet words..but we know them, so it's not working...This has led to their frustration
Just wait and see what will happen if Atiku (their FULANI master) wins election, they will drop their agitation for some time. If Atiku fails to pamper them unnecessarily, they will put on that their tattered entitlement attires...and begin another round of senseless agitation
CandyOps: God can't do shit. Even Israeli armed forces don't even call on 'the God of Israelites' to save them. The rely on a counter-military machine called Iron Dome defense system.
Yesterday I saw a video of an adult male Nigerian based in London who was caught red-handed stalking a 15 y/o girl. First thing he said was "Jesus! Oh God!"
E be like Oyibo dem just open our heads comot our brains replace am with Bible and Quran or 'jazz' na why we no just get sense at all
Youths of the South-East Zone of Nigeria have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to remove the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from the list of terrorist organisations in the country.
The youths further said part of the steps towards peace in the region would be the de-proscription of IPOB and the release of any of its members in prison.
The youths made this call after an emergency meeting of South East youth stakeholders held on Friday in Awka, the Anambra state capital.
The group’s communique was read to journalists by Comrade Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth, on behalf of other groups.
These are National Youth Council of Nigeria (south-East), Nigerian Youth Congress(South-East) and National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The communique regretted the heightened insecurity in the South-East which has resulted in the loss of lives of our people, security agents and properties.
It also consoled with the families of the bereaved.”
The group also called on the South-East Governors to liaise with the relevant stakeholders especially the youth to arrest the current security challenges in the South East.
It condemned in totality the wanton destruction of lives and properties in the South-East and called on the perpetrators to desist from such forthwith and seek for a proper means of airing their grievances.
“As a step towards genuine peace and reconciliation as championed by Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Federal Government and South-East Governors should as a matter of urgency unproscribe IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra) as a terrorist organization.
“Furthermore, we call for the release of all political prisoners of Igbo extraction.”
The group called on the South-east governors to encourage community policing by strengthening and digitalizing the local vigilantes.
It also aligned with the resolution of the southern governors and call for necessary legal framework for immediate implementation of the resolution.
“There is a need for a quarterly interface between the Governors of the South-East and the Youth stakeholders so that the issues of the zone will be regularly reviewed.
“We call on the South-East Governors to fully implement the recommendations of the #ENDSARS panel report especially on Youth Development, and to review the Laws of their various State Security Council Committee to include critical youth stakeholders, while urging for full implementation, support and fund for community policing committee which was constituted last year,” the communique concluded.
