Nigerian man calls Hilda Baci, the Akwa Ibom girl from Igbo who runs to Lagos for validation

callmeDDD:
Anyone can troll on twitter. You can create as many accounts as possible and alternate them. Even instablog no pure. They do it for engagement and muhmu people will be turning it to issues. Ask your self a question? Why is it that it is controversial comment from nobody those bloggers always quote and create unnecessary attention around? Why? traffic, traffic traffic. They know the game and make more money from uninformed.

Apcshit:
Why are they protesting against immigrants? UK was the country that prevented Biafra

Dear Amaka,

Thank you for your feedback. You have two people to blame for Nigeria's indissolubility.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo mooted the idea of a secession clause in 1954 during the Lagos Constitutional Conference, but Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it, galvanising a majority of the conference attendees to kill the idea.

After this was rejected, Chief Awolowo again wrote to the then Governor General of Nigeria, who rejected the clause because the majority, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, did not support it.

A year before Awolowo tried to get a secession clause into the Constitution, Nnamdi Azikiwe had threatened Northern Nigeria with war if they tried to secede from Nigeria at a speech he gave on Monday, May 12, 1953. Please find below a quote from that speech:

"It may lead to economic nationalism in the Eastern Region, which can pursue a policy of blockade of the North, by refusing it access to the sea, over and under the River Niger, except upon payment of tolls."

Because of Nnamdi Azikiwe, section 86 was inserted into our constitution with the proviso that if any region should secede, it would be an act of treason.

Just a year before Biafra tried to break away from Nigeria on Tuesday, May 30, 1967, Isaac Boro tried secession by declaring the Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966.

Please fact-check me: Colonel Ojukwu first sent troops to quash Boro's rebellion. When he could not overwhelm Boro's Niger Delta Volunteer Force, he requested for federal troops, and Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi granted his request and sent soldiers to Ijaw land on February 27, 1966, following which Boro was captured and sentenced.

The then Head of State, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, quashed what he called the Isaac Boro mutiny using primarily troops of Eastern Nigeria origin.

So if Ojukwu and Ironsi did that to the Ijaws, how then would you want the Gowon administration and future governments to let Eastern/Southeast Nigeria secede?

That set the precedent for indissolubility under the military.

Therefore, Amaka, if you are looking for anyone to blame, please turn your attention to Azikiwe and Ironsi.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Wife of Anambra Governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has issued a dramatic challenge to Senator Uche Ekwunife, urging both of them to take an oath of fidelity before the Blessed Virgin Mary and to subject their children to paternity tests.

In a statement released on Saturday in Awka, Mrs Soludo accused the senator of fabricating allegations and dragging her children into political disputes.

She described Ekwunife’s conduct as “malicious” and warned that legal action would follow unless the lawmaker withdrew her claims and apologised within 72 hours.

Mrs Soludo said a public oath would help settle questions of character once and for all.

“Since Uche Ekwunife claims to be a converted Catholic, I challenge her to swear an oath of fidelity and chastity at any cathedral in front of the Blessed Sacrament and the Bible.

“I will swear (with my children) that in my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man—Chukwuma Soludo. On your part, you should also swear (with your children or your political ambitions) that since you got married, you have never cheated on your husband.”

The governor’s wife also invited Senator Ekwunife to scientific verification through DNA testing.

“I challenge you, Uche Ekwunife, for us to subject our children to paternity tests in three reputable hospitals in London. I will pay all the expenses, including travel for you and your family,” she said.

She added that if the results confirmed that Ekwunife’s husband fathered all her children, she would not only congratulate her but also present a cash award.

Describing herself as a quiet family woman, Mrs. Soludo stressed her Christian and conservative upbringing.

“I married him as a virgin and my fidelity to him in 33 years of marriage and for life is ironclad,” she asserted.

She further noted that she had never worked for government nor depended on public funds, even as First Lady of Anambra State.

Vowing to sustain her defence with dignity, Mrs. Soludo likened the clash with Senator Ekwunife to a long-distance race. “My weapons are decency, character, and grace. I am a long-distance runner, and I welcome you to the marathon,” she said.

In her swift response, Senator Uche Ekwunife, who is the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, advised Mrs. Soludo that explanations about the paternity of her children should be directed solely to her husband, Governor Soludo, and not to the public or political opponents.

Senator Ekwunife criticised Mrs. Soludo for attempting to publicly justify her chastity, fidelity, and virginity amid the ongoing controversy.

She emphasised that such deeply personal matters are private and pertain only to her husband. “Mrs. Soludo should refrain from dragging me into her family’s private affairs.

“If the Governor has doubts regarding the paternity of his children, he should seek a DNA test himself. Mrs. Soludo should have the courage to undergo such a test to establish the truth,” Ekwunife stated.

The senator further maintained that Mrs. Soludo’s attempts to involve others in what is essentially a private family issue do not advance the conversation and only serve to politicise personal matters unnecessarily.

"Challenging me or others to prove her chastity or fidelity is baseless. Her explanations are owed only to her husband, and any attempt to politicize this is misplaced,” Ekwunife replied via statement.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the confrontation between the women traces back to Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s questions over Senator Ekwunife’s academic qualifications.

Ofunaofu:
Like Soludo's son, like Peter Obi's son, like Tinubu's daughter.

Smartcitizen:
Not Igbo people please and that's why other ethnic groups always claim they want to dominate them in Nigeria.

Igbos have this superiority complex that they just feel like everyone is just under them and it use to create problems for them.

NAFDAC Seizes ₦1.2 Billion Worth of Fake Malaria Drugs in Lagos Raid

NAFDAC has intercepted 277 cartons of counterfeit and unregistered Malamal Forte malaria drugs, valued at over ₦1.2 billion, in a warehouse located in the Ilasa-Oshodi area of Lagos State.

The fake drugs, which were concealed in cartons labelled as Diclofenac Potassium 50mg, were illegally imported from Shanxi Tianyuan Pharmaceuticals Group in China. They were falsely declared as spare parts in the shipping container.

NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment, with the full support of the Presidency and Federal Ministry of Health, to eliminating counterfeit and substandard medicines from Nigeria.
This seizure is part of NAFDAC’s sustained nationwide operation to protect public health and ensure only safe, quality medicines are available to Nigerians.

Softmirror:
Jonathan and Kwankwaso. 😁 Politics get as he be. Kwankwaso really lash Jonathan wella back then, he proved to Jonathan that he was just a weakling. Politics is very amusing. As for Obi, that one from day one, even with the last election he is just what is called a 'WANNA BE'. His support base has seriously declined tending towards minus. No momentum. He is a goner!!!

motymop:
according charlie kirk...black commits all the violent crime in america even though they are 13% of the populations

what an irony...He got shot by his fellow white man

All his quotes about black people

Blacks are violent

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more...

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

SamuraiXXX:
The fact that he got shot by a white guy does not necessarily mean that what he said about blacks is not true.

I have a sister who is doing well in the United States and she told me that she consciously avoids living in black-dominated areas because of violence and intense envy from black neighbours

Commentor:
Your sister would soon be deported.

joeyswift:
Why the fuzz about Obi of lagos? Don't we have sarkin hausawa in lagos? I think the best way to go about it is to cancel every title oof foreign monarch in a host community. Therefore it is only the host community that reserves the right to kingship.

Preliminary Investigation Update on Self-Acclaimed “Obi of Lagos” and His Fraudulent Activities

The Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the public of updates on the ongoing investigation into the criminal activities of the principal suspect, Engr. Chibuike Azubike ‘m’, aged 65 years, who recently acclaimed himself as the “Obi of Lagos” and announced plans for the “…unveiling of the prototype of a ₦1.5 BILLION PALACE of Obi of Lagos State…” at Apple Hall, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, a ceremony scheduled for Saturday, 13th September 2025.

2. Investigation so far revealed that the principal suspect, Engr. Chibuike Azubike, later confessed to the Police that he is not a qualified engineer but merely a supplier of construction materials to construction companies, which formed the basis upon which he has been parading himself as an engineer.

3. Further findings revealed that the planned unveiling of the “Obi of Lagos Palace” was fraudulently designed as a ploy to swindle unsuspecting personalities and other Nigerians of their hard-earned money under the guise of the “…unveiling of the prototype of a ₦1.5 BILLION PALACE of Obi of Lagos State.”

4. It was also established that the principal suspect acted alone, without the backing or recognition of any legitimate chieftaincy authority. Members of the public are therefore enjoined to disregard his claims and other misleading publications on social media aimed at causing disaffection among the peace-loving people of Lagos. Meanwhile, investigation is ongoing, and all suspects involved will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of the investigation.

5. The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, strongly enjoins the people of Lagos to remain vigilant and not to fall prey to fraudsters of the likes of Chibuike Azubike and his gang. He further reassures the good people of Lagos State of the Command’s unwavering commitment to maintaining peace, security, and public order while protecting citizens against all forms of criminal deception.

happney65:
Some people high blood go don shoot up like that,like that.

OredoPikin:
The APC supporters hypocrisy is staggering. They're the same individuals who introduced hatred and divisiveness into Nigeria's politics. They pioneered the mob mentality that they now fear.

Let's recall 2014, when they threatened civil war and vowed to form a parallel government if the 2015 election didn't go their way. They sponsored countless protests and strikes against the then-government, making the 2014/2015 election campaign all about personal attacks on GEJ and his family.

GEJ's decision to concede was a deliberate attempt to avoid the bloodshed that followed the 2011 election, where hundreds of innocent young Nigerians were brutally murdered.

Ironically, the APC is now in power, and they expect everyone to praise the government despite being tens of times worse than the GEJ administration they forced out. They've mastered the art of tribal division, fueling Nigerians to fight each other along ethnic lines while they loot the country dry.

They pay few individuals to champion this act of division, using them as puppets to spread hate and fuel ethnic tensions. These paid agents, often masquerading as influencers or thought leaders, are instrumental in amplifying the APC's divisive agenda. By doing so, they create a false narrative that pits Nigerians against each other, distracting from the real issues of governance and accountability.

They sponsor all kinds of lies and propaganda to manipulate public opinion and maintain their grip on power. From fabricated news stories to hired social media trolls, they'll stop at nothing to silence dissenting voices and maintain their control over the narrative.

The APC fears the very mob mentality they created. They fear the consequences of their own actions. Today, when you advocate for protest or holding the government accountable, they label you unpatriotic. Yet, they were the ones who wanted to burn Nigeria to the ground just a decade ago.

Their hypocrisy is appalling.

Amumaigwe:
So you mean that the Obi of Lagos was arrested based on the abolition of Eze Ndi Igbo Title outside Igboland by Igbo Kings? So the Police is merely enforcing a ban that has no force of law. Indeed, there was a country

givedemwotowoto:
Should the eastern regions also stop the drilling of oil and gas in their regions and distributing revenue nationwide? Don't be trying to make sense of nonsense. Constitution and state law should be your guide over sentiments.

TrueWellWisher:
That's not a good one. Why mock the innocent dead man

Buildings were set ablaze and politicians furiously attacked this week as Nepal citizens brought down their government. Military choppers evacuated several lawmakers as the protesters set fire to their homes and chased them down the streets. They also torched the Supreme Court and set several official buildings including the Presidential residence ablaze. Visuals that have since gone viral showed the Kathmandu Hilton hotel turned into a charred husk and vandals looting the house of a Nepali businessman.

Hilton Hotel in Kathmandu torched
The tallest hotel in Kathmandu turned to ash on Tuesday — merely a year after opening its doors. Dramatic visuals shared online showed flames pouring of the windows as protesters raged across the city. It remains unclear whether guests were caught up in the carnage with some later posting videos seeking help. Some on social media claimed that they had seen visuals of toursts trying to escape the building.

“The fact that protesters targeted a hotel where tourists were staying shows how the situation spiraled beyond any legitimate protest!” fumed one X user.

“Bhatbhateni burned, Businesses burned, Factories burned. Major national institutions burned. And people are cheering that. No one will dare to invest in Nepal anymore,” a Reddit post lamented.

“This is so sad. I watched some Instagram stories of tourists escaping the building. This was completely unnecessary,” added a third.

Some on social media have offered an explanation — contending that the building had stood for corruption and “elite capture” in the minds of many Nepalis. It had been mired in controversy before its repeatedly delayed opening and even faced raids for suspected irregularities and other backroom deals. The benefits of ‘foreign investment’ had allegedly flown to a handful of politically connected families — coming back to the core of the ongoing uprising.

Similar incidents of hotel-burning were also reported from other Nepali cities — with one Indian tourist requesting Embassy support via social media.

“I request the Indian embassy to please help us. All those who can help us, please help. I am stranded here in Pokhara, Nepal. I had come here to host a volleyball league, and currently, the hotel where I was staying has been burned down. All my luggage, all my belongings, were in my room, and the entire hotel was set on fire. I was in the spa, and people were running behind me with very large sticks, and I barely managed to escape with my life,” the woman — identified as Upasana Gill — can be heard saying.

House of Nepali businessman ransacked
Multiple houses linked to Nepali politicians and business leaders have also been ransacked and destroyed by the protesters over the past two days. Videos of protesters targeting Nepali businessman Upendra Mahato have, however, gone viral for all the wrong reasons — as it appears to have been a case of mistaken identity. The official is currently in Russia and serves as the president of the Russia-Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Local media reports later suggested that the protesters had mistaken his house for the residence of Janata Samajbadi Party Upendra Yadav.

alanto:
Who wrote a petition about him. You guys like to take people for a ride. He wants to celebrate new yam festival na that one be business meeting?

gidgiddy:
There is King of Fulani in Lagos, the 'Sarking Fulani of Lagos'

Even in 200 years, nobody dare arrest him

But as soon as they hear anything Igbo, they will rush in with guns to make arrests

This is for my fellow Igbos who still think there is anything like 'one Nigeria'
