Who asked the IPOD to fight for us ? It is not by protesting on the street. Just watch as things will plan out !!!

I suggest IPOD follow our method of doing things.

...You have no method of doing anything...From history, you will emerge when the job has been done...Awolowo said the same thing in the past....and he ended up being the VP and planned the worse genocide in this part of the world...

Toketimt:

Are u ok? Who asked him to go join a violent protest. A protest where shop owners were threatened. Passerbys robbed of their valuables and agitators walking about with machetes, sticks and stones charging on security personnel.
Again, if indeed this soul was lost in that protest then good riddance to it.

Where did you read that it was a violent protest? Why wasn't he arrested and handed over to the police...? It may be you turn next time...As Karma will have it you might by shot by a reckless policeman..and your life will not be different from that of this innocent boy, because you support evil...

Gaiuseenyie:
This guys block road,they were doing all sort of nonsense,b4 the army came

...and the best thing in your mind was for the army to just shoot the young boy? Why didn't the army shoot the Ogoni women blocking the road when they protest?

aljharem:
That will be a VERY GOOD MOVE !!!! Ole ni awon ara oke oya. Abeg make them no forget to free Yoruba nation as well upto Jebba

...what are you doing about that...? Oh you want the IPOBS to die for you and you just get your freedom up to Jebba, hu? That's called treachery...You got to fight for what you believe in...

Then go kpeme. That's all

Afonja...please take these nutritious pineapple from San Carlos farms, Enugu, meant for export and chill...Unity is not by force...You need to explain to the agitators, what they stand to gain by remaining in Nigeria...Not forced..at gun point...It will never bring the best in them...Only the SW and the north are benefitting most from the current arrangement...Do you know why the UK left the EU? The UK felt they are not gaining from the union...SIMPLE.

Corrinthians:
British government sits to listen to radio biadrugs every morning-- LiePob Osus.

...Igbos also stand out from Nigeria’s other two big ethnic groups, the Yoruba and the Muslim Hausa (the latter is largely absent from London). ‘Igbos are very entrepreneurial, and they also produce a lot of writers and British politicians,’ says Nels Abbey, a British-Nigerian businessman and former columnist on the black weekly newspaper The Voice...(UK Telegraph)

Why can't we go our separate ways and do what we know how to do best...there is no point hating each other...

Corrinthians:
Nonsense. Osus are the ones killing their fellow Osus to blame it on the law enforcement agents and cry to trump for sucour.

Are the Afonjas, the Aborisa ChrisMuslimIfa hybrids also killing the Afonjas?

Use your sense small nowwwwww...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

...where are getting there gradually....

No region in Nigeria currently wields as much power and influence as the South-West.

The Op is high on Oshogbo weed...

OP, you fail this one....

...so what is Nigeria?

“No arm of government namely, the Executive, Judiciary or Legislature is headed by an Igbo. No section of the Armed Forces or paramilitary organisation is headed by an Igbo. Neither the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal nor the Federal High Court is headed by an Igbo. “We know in the history of this country when a Lieutenant Colonel was appointed to the position of Chief of General Staff over and above his superiors just to ensure ethnic balance.

We know when a Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation was appointed Chief Justice of Nigeria was to ensure ethnic balance. We know when a former Military Head of State was drafted to run for president was to douse ethnic tensions. “What is very perturbing is the public declaration of Mr President that his appointments must favour the states that voted overwhelmingly for him and those he trusts even against the provisions of our constitution relating to federal character.

One is at sea why Ndigbo who campaigned and voted for him appear not to be trusted. Nwodo

NEWLY elected President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Nwodo (Junior), has said he is ready to die for Igbo cause , saying the rise of Movement for Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) no matter how divided they appear in public are basically motivated by same sense of outrage and bitterness.

Addressing a press conference in Enugu on Thursday after their inaugural meeting of the pan-Igbo group, Nwodo said he will adopt MASSOB and IPOB as a father of Igbo nation, stressing that although he does not believe in their methods or approaches for the realisation of a sovereign state of Biafra, he will not abandon them.

Nwodo noted, “Our young men and women can no longer tolerate a second class status in their own country. They can no longer forgive the President for arguing before he came into office that Niger Delta militants were meekly treated and tolerated by President Yar Adua while Boko Haram was harshly treated by President Jonathan when his law enforcement agents literally opened fire and maim and killed unarmed MASSOB and IPOB members.”

They see how returnee Boko Haram members are absolved and rehabilitated while leaders of MASSOB and IPOB are incarcerated or mercilessly murdered. In their rage, they are becoming uncontrollable as they pass a vote of no confidence on us, their parents, describing us as cowards and compromised,” he added.

According to Nwodo, “Because the older Ndigbo have seen civil war and its devastating consequences, they naturally hesitate to support any military action against the Nigerian state that may waste their children because Ndigbo business class is heavily invested in Nigeria outside Igbo land, they fervently believe in a united Nigeria even if marginalised politically.

Asked how he was going to adopt the pro- Biafra movements, the former Minister for Information reiterated, “As President-General of Ohanaeze I intend to extend my warm hand of paternity to IPOB and MASSOB. They are my children.

I shall never desert them. Their struggle is my struggle even if we do not completely agree with methods. In warfare there are two types of approaches: Coercion and diplomacy. I completely favour diplomacy.

If you see two Igbo men or group fighting be very much assured that money is involved.

All these groups realize how fertile the minds of their dumb followers are for scamming.

The industrial village currently under construction at Umukalika, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, will host 30,000 artisans, Gabe Igboko, commissioner for Environment and Solid Minerals Development, Abia State, says.

Igboko in an exclusive interview with BusinessDay, observed that artisans in the finished leather and garment sub-sectors of the economy in Aba are still operating at rudimentary stages in their present clusters, noting that a modern cluster with modern facilities, would ensure the standarsation and modernization of their products.

According to him, we are going to relocate those people in Ariaria, where they are so constrained by all sorts of militating factors, to where they would be well quartered.

He thanked the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology (FMST) for approving the establishment of a leather research and development centre in Aba, stressing that it will help increase the capacity and quality of products of Aba artisans.

The industrial city was initiated by the Abia State Government to provide a more conducive environment for the finished leather goods manufacturers, comprising-shoe, belt and bag and garment makers, to boost their productivity.

Austin Morah, managing director, Amiico Construction Company Limited, one of the firms handling the project told BusinessDay in Aba, that the project would be completed in 18 months.

He revealed that his firm has already mobilized to site and will deliver as planned.

He observed that the facility would boost industrial activities in the State and appealed to the Federal Government to provide a special fund for the Aba finished leather cluster to enable them source for machinery.

The Umukalika industrial site, spanning about 35 acres, was earmarked for the project, but left undeveloped, by previous administrations in the State.

However, the present administration has set machinery in motion to realize the project and thereby boost industrial development of the State, South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria.

Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, has one of the largest concentrations of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria and a bulk of this number are engaged in leather works, steel fabrication and garment making, which could be attributed to the popularity of the city.

It is estimated that Aba hosts 110,000 shoemakers and 50,000 garment makers.

The ingenuity of Aba artisans, especially, the garment and leather clusters-comprising of shoe, belt and bag makers, attracted the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) in partnership with the Federal Government, to set up a Common Facility Centre (CFC) in the city, to support the clusters to further develop their skills.

Consequently, it is the desire of the present administration in the State, led by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to provide a conducive environment for artisans and other business operators and the restoration of infrastructure in the commercial city of Aba, is an integral part of the plan, says a source.

Ikpeazu in his first address to the people of the State, affirmed that regeneration of Aba, will create modern neighbourhood markets and parks, including crucial developments of business and leisure along the Aba river, and new residential and business locations.

According to him, “Our story as a people is one of entrepreneurship, resourcefulness and diligence. This is our pride. We have astounded the world with our home-grown technical skills, especially during a period of pervasive adversity, and followed it up with our trade and commercial prowess elevating one of our cities, Aba, into a prominent commercial hub within the West African region.

“This historic renown is to become our future narrative. The time is ripe to use the over 110,000 shoemakers and 50,000 garment makers as a launching pad to enable Abia to truly become the undisputed SME capital of Nigeria”.

He stated that his administration was committed to providing the enabling environment and infrastructure to facilitate the growth and development of Abia and its people; positioning it as a premier residential, business and tourism destination, with the ultimate objective of uplifting the lives of the people.

He recalled that Aba was for many years a thriving hub for manufacturing and commerce until epileptic electricity supply and insecurity forced the shutdown of most indigenous and foreign owned industries.

Ikpeazu recognized and appreciated the efforts of the Geometric Power Group and the Federal Government’s NIPP project at Alaoji, towards providing a solution to the perennial challenges of electricity supply to the State.

The Governor observe d that the forthcoming operationalisation of the plants would provide a critical input towards the actualization of its blueprint and roadmap for the regeneration of Aba and the entire Abia State.
