In working society, loads of people use fake ids! Hotels only look at names and photos on the id. They arent airport security that has access to world's database.
The technology to flag and alert law enforcement in every hotel in every state in Nigeria will cost less than 6 billion for me to install.

In a working society, fake IDs will be flagged immediately.
Why do we have NIN,BVN and National ID that are not useful for security.
Peter Obi is the only one who have shown capacity to bring all these to end

FashionRe: Records Back Omokri’s Claim Linking ‘Okpu Agu’ To Colonialists by shortgun(m):
seunmsg:
There was no scorching sun when they left Europe. They wore it from Europe and all through the sea. On getting to Africa, they saw no use for it again and dropped them for Ibo natives who converted them to titled caps.
So let me get this straight: the same Europeans who could map the stars, chart planetary motion and predict weather patterns somehow didn’t realize that Africa is hot and unsuitable for winter caps?
Even if they wore those caps for the cold parts of their journey, why would they drop them in Africa, knowing they'd need them again for the freezing trip back?

It makes zero sense however you look at it, It's a lazy, baseless claim....the kind you only believe when you have a brain that is incapable of critical thinking


This narrative that anything structured, dignified or symbolic in African culture must’ve been borrowed is exactly the poison that colonization injected and some of you are still regurgitating this nonsense in 2025.

tunwumi:
Have you seen Houses built by European in Nigeria with a chimney?

Where is the Ice that made the house required a chimney ?
It’s obvious you don’t understand what a chimney is for.
A chimney’s main job is to safely remove smoke, carbon monoxide and other harmful gases produced during combustion.
That’s why Europeans install chimneys in any house where there’s cooking, heating, or burning.
This is done to vent out heat, smoke and toxic fumes.

Wearing winter cap in Africa where there's no winter or ice is dumb and senseless. Reno Omokri is ignorant of the Igbo culture
PoliticsRe: Biafrans Attend Frederick Forsyth's Burial - Pictures by shortgun(m): 1:35am On Jun 26, 2025
While the British government was arming Nigeria to bomb hospitals, markets and schools in Biafra… while millions of Igbo children were starved to death as food was deliberately blocked — Frederick Forsyth called it what it was: genocide.

Not civil war.
Not a complex conflict.
Genocide. Sponsored by the same Britain that pretends to care about human rights today.


He quit the BBC because he refused to be their mouthpiece for murder. While British media played dumb and sanitized the slaughter, Forsyth looked the empire in the face and said You’re not peacekeepers — you’re accessories to mass murder.

He dragged the truth into the open. He exposed how the same country that preached democracy was supplying arms to kill children for oil. He watched Biafrans die in their millions and didn’t flinch or spin it into diplomatic bullshit.
He reported it, raw and honest.


We are not going to water this down and pretend his legacy is just about novels.
Frederick Forsyth had more integrity in one article than the entire British media establishment put together.

The rest of them can rot in their polished lies.
Forsyth earned respect not for where he came from but for standing with the truth when it was dangerous, unpopular and career-ending.

Rest in defiance, Frederick.
You did what cowards wouldn’t.
The blood you spoke for will remember.
FashionRe: Records Back Omokri’s Claim Linking ‘Okpu Agu’ To Colonialists by shortgun(m):
The Okpu Agu is a recognized symbol of traditional authority among the Igbo, worn by titled men (like the Ozo title holders) for centuries... long before colonialists arrived.
It’s not some borrowed accessory from Europeans; it is a cultural crown, steeped in ritual, status and ancestral lineage.
Just because it’s shaped like a round cap doesn’t make it European. That’s like saying agbada is Arab just because it’s a flowing robe.


Reducing an indigenous symbol like the Okpu Agu to a “colonial cap” not only shows ignorance of Igbo customs but also perpetuates a colonial mindset that assumes anything sophisticated or structured must have come from Europeans. That’s not just wrong....it’s insulting.

Does Reno or any European he claims as owners of the cap even know what it means when an Igbo man wearing the Okpu Agu cap tilt it to the left? To the right? To the front or back?
Each direction has meaning....messages encoded in tradition, passed down from generations to generations. The Okpu Agu has spiritual and cultural weight behind it...something you clearly don’t learn by watching from the outside.

HealthRe: Goat Undergoes CS as Cervix Fails to Dilate: Nigerian Veterinary Doc shares pics by shortgun(m):
Depriest2020:
How comes nobody noticed that the mother goat is premature? The randy he-goat that got her pregnant without allowing her mature should be arrested ASAP. It's like impregnating a 12/13yrs girl and expecting her not to have complications while giving birth.

Am not sure the mother goat is up to 6 months old. See how smallish she is. Check under her belly, no breast to even nourish her kid with.
Are you okay?
There's no such thing as underage or premature females that are capable of getting pregnant in nature.
The he-goat was not randy, neither did it initiate mating; rather the she-goat sent out chemical messages inviting every he-goat around to have sex with her because she was ready to get pregnant

PoliticsRe: Ohanaeze Accuse Gowon Of Causing The Civil War by shortgun(m): 11:00am On Jun 20, 2025
Exactly, Gowon with the murderous British government should be held responsible.

Here is what led to the Nigerian Civil War.
Gowon should take all the blame with the British government that had selfish interest in Oil!
If only the Aburi Conference agreement was implemented the needless war would have been avoided.


After a military coup in January 1966 and a counter-coup in July 1966, Nigeria was deeply divided.
Ethnic and regional tensions rose sharply:
Thousands of Igbo people were massacred in Northern Nigeria.

Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, the military governor of the Eastern Region, demanded autonomy for the East to protect his people.


The federal government under General Yakubu Gowon sought to maintain national unity.

To avoid war, leaders agreed to meet in Aburi, Ghana.


🛑 The Aburi Conference (January 4–5, 1967)
Participants:
Nigerian federal delegates, led by General Yakubu Gowon

Eastern Region delegates, led by Lt. Colonel Ojukwu
Other regional military governors

Key outcomes:
Decentralization: Agreement that Nigeria would be governed more loosely as a confederation, with strong regional autonomy.


Consensus rule:
No major decisions would be taken by the federal government without agreement from all regions.

Military governors would have control over their own regions, including personnel matters.
Ojukwu believed this agreement gave the Eastern Region the autonomy it needed.


⚠️ Breakdown of Trust
When the Nigerian government returned from Aburi, it reneged on the full implementation of the agreement.

Gowon later promulgated Decree No. 8.
This breakdown of the Aburi Accord became a turning point. Ojukwu felt the East was betrayed.

💥 Consequence:
Declaration of Biafra and Civil War


On May 30, 1967, Ojukwu declared the independence of Biafra.
The Nigerian government responded militarily.
The Nigerian Civil War began on July 6, 1967.

The rest they say is history
