They will mock Igbos for being killed in d north while they are killed in dia own soil.

WHAT ABOUT THE IBO(ANAMBRA)FARMERS THAT WERE DURING LAGOS BETWEEN PEOPLE OF KOGI N ANAMBRA OVER OIL WELL.. ON WHOSE SOIL?




AWKA—FOUR persons from Aguleri,
Anambra East local government area were
killed on Monday, while seven others were
seriously injured in a renewed clash
between the people of Aguleri and Echeno/
Odeke in Ibaji local government area of
Kogi State.
The two border communities have been
laying claims to the oil deposits on the
Omambala River basin.
The clashes became more pronounced
shortly after the commissioning of Orient
Petroleum Refinery at Aguleri Otu in
Anambra State by President Goodluck
Jonathan last year.
Casualty figures on the Kogi side could not
be ascertained at press time, although it
was gathered that the people of Aguleri
were taken unawares by the Kogi fighters.
Vanguard gathered that the latest clash,
which occurred at about 3.00pm on
Monday, involved the use of sophisticated
weapons, even in the presence of security
operatives guarding the buffer zone
created by the National Boundary
Commission in the area to forestall clashes
between the warring communities.
It was also gathered that one of the mobile
policemen guarding the buffer zone had
allegedly informed Kogi people that Aguleri
people were at the disputed area, adding
that shortly after, Kogi people came in
large numbers, armed with dangerous
weapons, including automatic rifles usually
handled by security operatives.
Monday’s attack came on the heels of a
peace committee meeting held between
the communities last week at Idah in Kogi
State, where the people of Aguleri
expressed surprise yesterday that some
people at Odeke were not prepared to see
peace return to the area.
Anambra Police Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka,
confirmed the incident, but declined to
give the casualty figures.
According to him, the matter is being
investigated at the highest level of security
and will be premature for him to make
statement on the clash.
Following the frequent clashes in the area,
the National Boundary Commission had
met with the deputy governors of the two
states on many occasions for the purpose
of finding a lasting solution to the border
problem.
At the last meeting chaired by the Director
General of the National Boundary
Commission, Dr. M.B. Ahmad, with the
deputy governors of the two states and a
representative of the surveyor general of
the federation in attendance, it was noted
that the Anambra/Kogi interstate boundary
was the boundary of the former Northern
and Eastern regions described in the legal
notice No 126 of 1954.
However, the people of Kogi were said to
be insisting that despite the demarcated
boundary between the old Kabba and old
Onitsha provinces, the oil deposits in
Omambala River belong to them.

ASABA- THE Niger Delta People Salvation
Front /Niger Delta People Volunteer
Force, (,NDPSF/NDPVF, led by Alhaji
Mujahid Dokubo-Asari have described
the emergence of President-elect, Gen
Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential
election as a conspiracy of the North/
Yoruba against the Niger Delta, South
East and Middle Belt.
The groups in a statement by Mr Rex
Anighoro said, “It is not a victory of the
people, but victory of regional conspiracy
and supremacy.”
“It clearly reinforces the fact of self
determination and the truth that Nigeria
remains a very divided and separated
entity whose claim to unity remains a
fraud of gargantuan proportion,” they
asserted.
They said: “The voting pattern has clearly
shown that the Gambari North and the
Yorubas are united in the conquest of the
Niger Deltans and the Igbos of defunct
Biafra with the Middle Belt now used as
pawns. We remain a people separated by
our ideologies and interests, we are not
integrated nor reconciled.”
The groups asserted: “The conditions that
advanced the need to embrace the creeks
have been sadly re -energised, it is clear
that a vicious government who may maim
and murder the voice of the so called
minorities may have just been birthed.
Indeed integration is nonexistent as
regional gang ups and supremacy is
symbolic with this victory. ”
“The victory of Muhammadu Buhari is a
historical reminder that we are a
conquered people who are mere
appendages existing at the pleasure of
the supremacist and the regional
overlords.
“We salute the gallantry and courage of
Elder Godsday Orubebe, who spoke the
truth to power on fact f our collective
existence in this colonial union of
convenience. He need not apologise to be
politically correct having demonstrated to
the world what a deception the Nigerian
union is,” they said.
According to them, “While President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan enjoys his
moments and bask in the euphoria of a
now world renowned statesman having
congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, his
conqueror, we must quickly remind that
our struggle was never about Jonathan
nor about Presidency. President Goodluck
Jonathan was an establishment
beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and
blood that many bled and died for.”
“He was never in the struggle and he can
never wish away our collective march
forward for statesmanship. Yes, indeed
to an extent, he was a mitigating factor
in self determination pursuit as we went
on sabbatical, this mitigation he seems to
have willingly repudiated.
“The days coming will be critical, we shall
study all the conditions and consult
widely before determining the way going
forward for our collective existence and
survival as a people. The days coming
shall either drive the quest of integration
or further separate us,” they added.

IGBO ARE HYPOCRITE. SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST VOTED BASED ON ETHNICITY...

JONATHAN WAS STILL ABLE TO PULL NUMBER OF VOTES IN NORTH AND SOUTH WEST. IN NASARRAWA, GOODLUCK WON. IN KOGI, JONATHAN RAN AT THE SAME NECK WITH BUHARI. IN TARABA, GOODLUCK WON.

IN SOUTH WEST, GOODLUCK WON ONLY IN EKITI. IN OTHER 5 STATES IN SOUTH WEST, GOODLUCK ALSO RAN AT NECK WITH BUHARI (ONLY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOODLUCK AND BUHARI

YORUBA VOTED BASED ON NEUTRAL GROUND.

IN SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST, GOODLUCK FLOORED BUHARI. SOUTH AND SOUTH VOTED BASED ON ETHNICITY BUT THEY'RE OVERPOWERED BY NORTH AND SOUTH WEST.

DON'T SEEK FOR EMPATHY AT ALL. EVEN BEFORE THE ELECTION IT WAS GLARING THAT SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST WILL VOTE FOR JONATHAN.....

THIS IS A SIGN TO IGBO THAT YORUBA IS MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN IGBO IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS..

YORUBA DOESN'T OWN IGBO ANYTHING, KOBO, DIME.

Disturbed by years of non infrastructural
decay and poor economic development in
his state, Ebonyi which over the years had
denied the youths gainful employments
and also turned them into street and
highway hawkers in Nigeria, Chief
Solomon Ogbonna, the youngest prolific
artwork collector, culture and great
traditionalist, in this interview with
Saturday Vanguard Business, frowned at
the inability of successive government in
the state to develop Ebonyi.
Against this backdrop,he implored Ndigbo
both home and diaspora to unite as on
indivisible force before thinking of ruling
Nigeria. Excerpts:
At the moment, Ebonyi people are
seriously clamouring for infrastructural
development as a means to end hawking
among their youths, do you agree with
them?
It’s quiet unfortunate and shameful that if
you are driving along the streets in Lagos
particularly on highways and you approach
any of those hawkers’ they will tell you
they are from Ebonyi state. Also, if you
decide to communicate to them in their
language, they will respond accordingly,
an indication that confirms their honesty.
I’m disappointed and angry with those
who had governed the state, particularly,
with their self-centredness.
They were only concerned with
immediate members of their families,
taking their children abroad for education
and holidays with state allocations meant
for infrastructural development, job
creation, skill acquisition, youth
empowerment among others. These are
laudable projects that would take the
state to advance level if government had
actually invested in them.
There are a lot of job opportunities Ebonyi
state government can explore in order to
reduce unemployment and stop hawking
which has become a culture among
Ebonyi youths mainly because past
leadership refused to create jobs for
them. Government should be held
responsible for this deprivation of gainful
employment among youths. If you visit
Ebonyi state now, you can’t find owned or
established by government that can
provide jobs, be it skilled or unskilled
labour. Moreso, the state does not have
any recreation centre that would enable
youths develop their talents for
competitions both nationally or
internationally.
I’m an artwork collector not an artist. But
atleast, I sketch for my artist before he
goes on with his artistic work. Most of
them follow my directives considering my
experience on Igbo artwork, Yoruba,
Benin and Hausa artworks. Before now, I
have been clamouring for government
assistance to build a museum centre and
a workshop for artwork that would attract
tourism in Ebonyi state as this would help
to create jobs for youths.
This singular effort had been rebuffed by
past governors. At the moment, the only
place that looks as if human beings are
living is government house. Other places
are horrible sight. The worse place in
Benin Republic could be compared to
Ebonyi state.
Today, Ebonyi state record the highest
number of teenage hawkers in major
cities in Nigeria. There is no reasonable
impact on economic development. Those
who had governored the state had only
succeeded in enriching themselves and
their cronies. Go to Ebonyi hotel formerly
Moritel hotel which was bought from
former vice President, Alex Akwueme.
Most people who have been working
there for years, most of earn N25,000 to
N30,000 monthly.
Some of them are married. What can that
paltry sum of money achieve. I don’t
know how people can be wicked to their
citizens. Ironically most of these
government officials had made several
trips to abroad and see how government
over there developed their countries, but
some of our leaders are not ready to
apply what they saw there.
From what you are seeing, do you see the
chances of Igbos ruling Nigeria?
With God all things are possible. Our
people are intelligent, educated, wise and
exposed. But the self-centred attitude in
them causes disunity among them. With
disunity in their midst, it will be difficult
for Ndigbo to rule Nigeria if they can’t
unite themselves because unity is power
and without it you can’t achieve a
purpose. The issue is that, the Anambra
indigene will be claiming superiority over
Enugu indigene.
This superiority complex has rub-off-on
virtually all the eastern states. So when
you don’t unite, how do you form a good
family to speak with one voice. Before
you lead a people, you must put your
house in order. One peculiar
characteristics of Igbos is that they
worship past heroes. For instance,
Odimegwu Ojukwu, relation to Ojukwu,
those past wealthy men who had made
name 50 years ago still hold sway till
date.
If you are not from those lineages, an
Igboman in leadership will not want to
listen to you or even come closer. The
success of the Yoruba is because they
respect their culture which is embedded
in their language. Irrespective of your
status when you approach Yoruba leaders
in their language, they welcome you and
listen your message but it’s not so with
Igbos. It must be those wealthy ones.
This should not be so.
We must listen to everybody before we
draw conclusion. Somebody like me as an
artwork collector, I stand to be corrected,
there is no Igboman that has African
artwork more than me presently, both
ancient, modern, in bronze, bead and
other artifice. Recently, I presented one
of the most expensive masterpiece
artwork to the President’s wife including
Pius Anyim. But I’m not a proud man.
As an artwork collector, I have sponsored
more than 500 Nigerians to international
art exhibitions and empowerment
programme in Nigeria to promote unity as
one Nigeria and human race. But during
this period I had difficulties in making
contact to see the President. All the
Igbos I approached before then will first
want to know whether I’m from Azikiwe
family or from Anambra before they could
render any help. Whether anybody
believe it not, President Goodluck
Jonathan is God’s sent to Nigeria and he is
God-fearing. I pray he wins again to
continue the good work.
Today, I give kudos to persons like Ebutu
Ukaiwe, being one among others who is
unique and accommodating without
discrimination in his dealing with fellow
human being. Peter Obi has a listening
hears and is humble even if he is not
going to adhere to your advice, but he
listens.
As a building developer, how do you see
housing scheme in the country?
I’m a developer. But can any government
that attempt what Jakende did in terms of
housing scheme in Lagos. He built
housing estates for the masses, and till
date, the masses are still enjoying it. I
want a government that can replicate that
feat so that the increasing population of
Nigerian citizens can have shelta at
affordable rates. But the challenge is that
some people in government who have
stored money for themselves would want
a plot of land in Parkview and Lekki to go
for N1b so that they will be the class that
would have assess to such areas.
And it doesn’t bother them whether the
common people are living in Cotonou,
spending all their salaries on transport to
their work places in Lagos. They will push
the masses to Ijebu Ode and other areas
and at the end of it all, you will be left
without savings at the end of every
month. Majority of these people were
pushed to remote areas with their
children engaging in hawking in Lagos
streets, prostituting in order to pay school
fees. There is no effort to provide low
housing scheme for the masses. Look at
all the estates built by Jakende targeted
at the masses.

Balkan:
What a shame. an average yoruba man will come to
lagos and be claiming to be a Lagosian. This is a typical
yoruba towns and village apart from Lagos built by FG and Igbos.

You can never see this kind of hut anywhere in Igbo Land.
see how desolate and devastated this mans father and town looks.

and you want to infest Nigerians with this poverty?
GEJ Osibanjo repents

SEE HOW A SON OF MAN IS REASONING. YORUBA HAS MORE STAKE IN LAGOS THAN IBO TRIBE... WHAT PROOF DID YOU HAVE TO BACK UP THIS PHOTOSHOP?

LAGOS CAN NEVER BELONG TO Igbos. IBO ARE SOJOURNERS IN LAGOS. A SOJOURNER WILL DEFINITELY GO HOME.

WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR GOLDEN REGION TO SURVIVE IN RUST REGION ?

prelinctus:
There's no basis for comparison between both of them. OBJ was a former head of state so he knew what was on ground before becoming president. GEJ, on the other hand, luckily got to the top. Experience matters a lot, bro. Later, you'll start complaining when companies request for years of experience for graduate trainee roles. Next time when companies do that, just remember OBJ and GEJ.

WHAT OF THE EXPERIENCE HE HAD AS THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR OF BAYELSA? IS THAT NOT PART OF EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO TUTOR A NATION TO GREAT COUNTRY.

GEJ IS NOT A LEARNER IN POLITICS.

IS THIS THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT WILL LEAD IBO TO Biafra?

CHARLY BOY = AREA FATHER

BIANCA OJUKWU = PRESIDENT OF PROSTITUTES

OneNaira6:
So not just me that noticed it is only Yoruba crying fowl over this news.
Why are this people so afraid of Nigeria disintegrating. Even the north is not even scared as they are.

Being parasites and leeches seems to be what they want to do for the rest of their life. Good thing the nation is slowly disintegrating so their worst fear is gonna happen. The days of leeching will soon be over

YORUBA ARE NOT PARASITE. YORUBA AGITATED FOR REGIONAL AUTONOMY AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE. WHAT DID YOUR TRIBE AGITATED FOR?

BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF OIL IN NIGERIA, NIGERIA SUSTAINED HERSELF WITH AGRICULTURE. AWOLOWO BUILT COCOA HOUSE, 1ST TVS STATION IN AFRICA, 1ST STADIUM IN AFRICA.... ALL THESE WERE EXECUTED WITH AGRICULTURE REVENUE. THERE'S CRUDE OIL IN LAGOS, ONDO STATE

SOUTH SOUTH WON'T GO WITH YOU EVEN IF THEY WANT TO SECEDE TOO. LEAVE SOUTH SOUTH CRUDE OIL ALONE.

OneNaira6:
Lie small. The biggest arm robbers known in history of Nigeria are all Yoruba. The biggest corrupt politicians are predominately YOLOBA. Some of the biggest arm robbers wanted are all Yoruba. Even your SW rank highest in all crimes of Nigeria. When you want to lie, match your lies to reality. OBJ dey look you in the face, him wan smack you for your stupidity. illiterate

SEE SON OF A MAN.

MAJORITY OF ARM ROBBERS IN SOUTH WEST ARE IBO. USING 2×2 SHOPS TO COVER UP AS A GENTLE BEING. YOU FORGET THAT OKONJO IWEALA IS A CORRUPT PERSONNEL

www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/938-persons-kidnapped-in-8-months-in-south-east-cd/


Onitsha (Anambra) – No fewer than 938
prominent sons and daughters of the South East
zone are alleged to have been kidnapped
between January 2008 and August 2012, a civil
society group, Campaign for Democracy (CD), has
said.
Police authorities, however, disagreed with the
figures, saying it was the figment of the
imagination of the group that released the
figures.
In a statement signed by Mr Uzor Uzor and Dr
Jerry Chukwuokolo, the CD chairman and
secretary respectively in the South East, said the
kidnapped persons paid ransoms said to be
valued at about N1.2 billion during the period.
The statement also said that kidnappers
collected substantial amounts from their victims
ranging from N5 million to N30 million per
individual.
“Anambra State has the highest incidence of
kidnapping of 273 persons, especially within the
commercial axis of Onitsha and Nnewi. And it is
happening at a constant rate for over five years
now.
“Imo State with the current up-surge in
kidnapping incidence has recorded 265 cases,
while its residence is living in heightened fear.
“Abia follows behind with 215 persons so far;
although the incidences of kidnapping had
continued to reduce for some months now after
the death of a notorious kidnapper called
Osisikankwu.
“Enugu has recorded 95 cases in the past five
years. However, the state has recorded the
highest in abduction of government officials.
“Ebonyi is the least of all the five states in the
South-east. It has recorded 90 cases so far
officially. However, apart from kidnapping the
state is laden with communal crisis,’’ it said.
The statement maintained that there was a need
to take decisive actions to checkmate the spate
of kidnapping in the zone.
“One practical way of doing it is the demolition
of established structures or buildings used by
kidnappers to advance their operations.
“The governors in the zone must work in synergy
to address the issue of security and draft laws
that would stiffen the penalties for kidnapping
and other related offences,’’ the CD said.
The group gave the South-east governors’ forum
till the end of October 2012 to address the up-
surge in kidnapping and restore the confidence
of foreign investors to the zone.
Contacted, the Deputy Force Public Relations
Officer, CSP Frank Mba, described CD’s figures as
a figment of their imagination.
He said that the police was the statutory
authority to issue the number of persons
kidnapped in an area.
He, however, raised some questions over the
CD’s statement: “What is the source of their
information? What is the methodology of
obtaining the figures? Do the CD work with the
kidnappers or did the kidnappers render account
to them?’’
“Not until they verify from the police, the figures
and the amount they gave make no sense,’’ Mba
said. (NAN)

OneNaira6:
You mean the weapon the British, USA, etc dashed you back then. Without their help along with many African nations assistance, Nigeria would have never won that war and that is a big Fact. Incase you aren't aware, no nation on this planet want Nigeria ' s existence anymore. Even USA, that assisted Nigeria during biafra war, is wishing for break up so whose gonna help you this time around? Your military can barely defeat Boko Haram talkless SS militant. Even Biafra war, despite having more weapons than they had and more allies, it took your weak military damn near 3 years to end it. And you only ended because you people started starving people. See a weak target boosting of victory given to him by others. Wtf

SEE HOW A SON OF MAN IS THINKING. IT'S YOUR GOATLUCK THAT MADE THE NIGERIA MILITARY LOST ITS GLORY. TERRORIST GROUP CAN NEVER OVERPOWER A COUNTRY. GOATLUCK DIDN'T USE CONCERTED EFFORT TO FIGHT AGAINST BOKOHARAM.
HAD IT BEEN THAT OBJ , BUHARI OR ANOTHER MILITARY PERSONNEL ISSUE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA PRESENTLY, ISSUE OF BOKOHARAM WOULD HAVE BEEN THINGS OF A PAST. GOATLUCK THE TACTICS TO TACKLE BOKOHARAM..


I SWEAR, MILITANTS ARE NOTHING. HOW MINUTES DOES IT TAKE OBJ TO LEVEL UP ZAKI AND ODIM? MILITANTS ARE EASY TO TACKLE THAN BOKOHARAM BECAUSE HIDEOUT OF MILITANT ARE EASY TO FOUND AND GET. TOMPOLO, ASARI CAN BE PICKED UP. DID BENIN REPUBLIC NOT ARREST ASARI DOKUBO ? DID ANYTHING HAPPEN? IF NOT FOR GOATLUCK INTERVENTION.. NOBODY KNOWS BOKOHARAM HIDEOUT, WHO KNOWS SHEKAHU WHEREABOUTS? NOBODY.

BIAFRA ALSO GOT SUPPORT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. IS YOUR MASTER OJUKWU AND BENJAMIN THAT SURRENDER NOT NIGERIA GOVERNMENT. IT'S BENJAMIN RENOUNCED THE EXISTENCE OF BIAFRA IN DODAN BARACK.

DON'T THINK THAT SOUTH SOUTH WILL JOIN YOU. IBO DOESN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO STAND AS A COUNTRY. LEAVE SOUTH SOUTH OIL ALONE. YOUR PEOPLE ARE ON THE PATH OF SECOND DESTRUCTION. SECESSION CAN BE DONE PEACEFULLY NOT BY FIRE AND ARMS

IBO AND KIDNAPPING

IBO AND COUNTERFEIT GOODS

dailyindependentnig.com/2014/01/orji-lauds-u-s-for-lifting-travel-ban-on-citizens/

Abia State governor , Theodore Orji, has
applauded the United States (U . S. )
government for lifting the travelling ban
imposed on har citizens owing to the
spate of kidnapping and violent crimes in
the South East and South South regions of
Nigeria .
Speaking through his Chief Press
Secretary, Charles Ajunwa, the governor
maintained that though the state waded
through the security situation and
secured the future of the area, yet , the
scar of the era was still being felt .
He stressed that the ban on her citizens
travelling to the region mostly affected
Abia , which had started welcoming
foreign investors with scores of them
coming from the United States of America
and her allies .
The governor pointed out that his few
visits to the US where he addressed
investors yielded fruits , which were
deterred by the ban because of insecurity ,
but expressed the hope that the lifting of
the ban would redress the anomaly .
According to him, the state had welcomed
several investors in agriculture, petroleum
and allied products , housing and
telecommunication , among other fields,
saying that Abia enjoys comparative
advantage over others .
He explained that the lifting of the ban
will now afford US citizens “ to come to
Abia and other neighbouring states to do
business as a result of the heightened
peace and security , especially in Abia
State today.”
“ Government is happy with the
development. We have done well in the
area of security and peaceful co-existence
in the state . We have laid the solid
foundation for development in the state .
We are not relenting.
“ The relaxation of the ban is a clear
testimony that the government has done
very well to boost security .
“ We will continue to do our best to
ensure that security and peace in the
state are sustained by the government .”
