All those visitations US paid to Fulani communities has something sinister. The South should watch out

theFilmtric:
vaccine doesn't mean you can't carry the virus
If you are vaccinated you can still carry it

So he's wearing mask to protect others


It will do you good to use a search engine and stop disgracing yourself

Not everything you'll wail about

theFilmtricsay

Your explanation is lame. Simply believe that vaccination is a scam

usecondom:
Taking the vaccine doesn't mean you should be careless and spread the virus to those that have not yet.

If it is possible for one to spread the virus after being vaccinated, then why the vaccination?

In as much as I am totally against the spread of fake news, but I still see the reportage of the poster as a post born out of hate and 'bad belle'. If the incident had been true, the poster's type is the type that will view with hurt in his spirit.

I still wonder why a person will have such a bad mind against self defense in the kind of Nigeria we witness today.

Mr poster, I don't know you but bear it in mind that anyone that still frowns against any move of any tribe and region to defend themselves and rid their land of these evil snake that wants to take over the nation will have failures and heart attacks as his daily first visitors.

So in as much as you are trying to disabuse the mind of the people from the false information trending on the social media, remove insult and denigration of people's effort to save themselves or else, the same injustice MNK is fighting against will visit you and your family

Report to NERC

Aiya! One of the names that I used to respect in my childhood days. May God console his people

Excerpts

I begin this write-up by saying that I mean no ill-thought towards the Biafran struggle or Igbos in general. What I’ve written here are mainly my personal reflections concerning the Niger Delta, especially with regards to non-Igbo groups and their stake in the Biafran movement which has been rebirthed for some time now. I am not a mouthpiece for the Niger Delta but I believe I’ve been in the Niger Delta long enough to know our problems and our stand. I’ve also interacted with many Niger Deltans to know their stand in the Biafran sttruggle.

When I use the term Niger Delta, I am referring to the region covering Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River states. However, I understand that the region also covers Ondo, Imo, and Abia states. I’m not concerned with the latter because they are either Igbos or Yorubas and have their own struggles. The ethnic groups within my coverage include Urhobo-Isoko, Bini, Esan, Itsekiri, Ijaw-Epie-Ogbia, Ogoni, Afemai, Efik-Annang-Eket-Oron-Ibibio, Ogoja, Ejagham, and other groups in Cross River North. Ikwerre, Ukwuani, Ika, Aniocha, Ogba, and other Igboid groups, are not included. Historically, Biafra covered all the Niger Delta states EXCEPT Delta and Ondo states. This fact must be emphasised.

Pro-Biafrans are welcome to debate and address my issues in a civil manner. I understand that most pro-Biafrans resort to insults when salient issues are addressed.

Please let’s set a good precedence from hereon.


1. Biafra may not be better for Niger Deltans because Niger Deltans may end up living one form of subjugation for another. The argument Igbos have made for their freedom is the desire to be free from Hausa-Yoruba domination. That argument also applies to the average Niger Deltan. Igbo, no doubt, will be the major ethnic group if Biafra is actualised. Ijaws may have a stake due to their numbers. What about the Ogonis, Urhobo-Isokos, Itsekiris, Efiks, etc? Where will they fit in at the national level? The sad reality is that another Nigeria will just be made manifest and resentments will build up. What will really be the fate of minorities? Will they fare better in Biafra or alone? In Nigeria, big groups such as Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo checkmate each other’s excesses very well. Who will checkmate that of Igbos in the new nation?


2. The issue of annexation comes to play. For so long, e-Biafrans have annexed Niger Delta as part of the proposed nation. The map below shows us what Biafrans have drawn to constitute the new nation:?
If we judge from this map, it means all groups in the Niger Delta have been annexed. My question is whether the leaders of these groups have been consulted before the annexation was done. I, for one, know that Urhobo-Isoko and Efik-Ibibio leaders have not approved of Biafra neither have anybody in these regions declared Biafra. So how and why were they included in the proposed map? Little things like this bring distrust and I understand that many of these non-Igbo regions have disowned the map and pledged allegiance to Nigeria. The declaration by the Delta State government is a case in point. I see this as forceful annexation. The so-called e-Biafrans have also not done much in calming the nerves of the people of the annexed regions. I’ve seen comments such as “if you don’t like it, go and stay in Sokoto”, “all land in the South is Biafraland”, etc. Is it not ironic that a group of people who want freedom want to annexe others?


3. What languages will be made the official languages of the new nation? I have seen several posts by e-Biafrans where Igbo was proposed as the official language of the new republic. What then will happen to other languages such as Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe, Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Ogoni, Eleme, Okrika, Kalabari, Bini, Esan, etc? Will they die off because of Igbo? Certainly NOT! If English is made the official language, the Igbo majority factor will kick in. If your name isn’t Chukwuemeka or Oliseh, Amarachi or Nneka, etc, you won’t get any appointment nor shall you be recognised. These are things we can’t deny. We are very ethnocentric in Africa.


4. What and what have Igbo nation done for Niger Deltans to gain their trust? Every day I see Igbo youths making enemies where there were none. They constantly use the agency of the internet to sprout controversy, hurl insults at dissenters and make unfounded claims. There is this general air of mistrust for Igbos by some Niger Deltans, particularly by Urhobo-Isoko and Bini people. What have Igbos done to checkmate this? Has any Igbo leader or group extended the hand of friendship to the Niger Deltans. Mistrust cannot be wished away. Most Niger Deltans would rather follow Hausas as slaves than follow Igbos as kings. This is the real reality and truthfully, Igbos caused this.

5. Who will lead the new nation? Obviously, Nnamdi Kanu, their hero, has fought tooth and nails for Biafra and he is currently cooling off in jail. If Biafra comes today, who will be the interim leader and what modalities are in place for subsequent leaders to be elected? Igbos have been the only ones fighting for Biafra since time immemorial with a handful of other groups here and there. Will Igbos allow other groups to rule over them? Will they allow an Urhobo man to be President, for instance? This is not a case of mere wishing. We have to understand that Niger Delta groups MAY NEVER BE ALLOWED TO RULE BIAFRA IF IT IS ACTUALISED.

6. Still on the issue of leaders, are the new leaders going to fall from the skies or they are simply going to change addresses from Abuja to Enugu. If so, what will change in the new nation? It is not arguable that Igbo national leaders are the most corrupt persons in Nigeria. If these same people are the ones to rule the new nation then there is no hope because corruption will be so rife that the economy of the new nation will shut down like a knocked engine. If we argue that new and younger leaders will arise, we still have the issue of who fought for Biafra to contend with. Most pro-Biafrans will not allow someone who sat at the periphery of the struggle to just come and waltz power away from the “heroes” of Biafra. If this is true then we will not have a proper democracy in Biafra.


8. Will Biafra be a utopia? The impression that e-Biafrans give is that Biafra will be perfect and we all know for a fact that this is not true. Apart from the issue of corruption and sentimentalism that have been addressed, we still have the issue of development. Where will money be generated from to develop the nation? In the whole of the proposed Biafra, only Port Harcourt and Onitsha are economically viable cities. Where will the investors come from? Why should they invest in a volatile country? Only in Warri, we have Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo at loggerheads, imagine what would happen to the whole nation. Secondly, I am sure that no Niger Deltan will allow his “oil” to be used to develop Enugu like what happened with Abuja, and is still happening today. Niger Deltans are getting wiser and by the time the new nations are formed, matters that border on oil, wealth distribution and infrastructural development will be raised.


9. The current structure of the proposed nation, as shown in the map earlier embedded, favour Igbos with more states. Urhobo has one, Efik-Ibibio has two, Itsekiri has none, etc. How will this be addressed? Certainly, every ethnic nationality will want adequate representation and so the structure on that map will never work.


10. Last, but not the least, is the issue of referendum. Some Biafrans are already calling for a referendum which will involve all parts of the proposed nation. I am pretty sure how this referendum will turn out. However, for the sake of being hypothetical, let us imagine that some ethnic groups/states vote against Biafra by the majority, what will be their fate at the end of the day? Secondly, will the result of such a referendum be true and honest? I understand that electoral malpractice forms a part of our identity. How are we going to get a true reflection of people’s thoughts? Thirdly, if states and ethnic groups do decide to vote for Biafra, what mechanisms are in place to contain Igbophobia, Igbomania, Igbocentrism, Igbo hegemony, Landgrabbing, and all issues that minorities have raised?
Above are the reasons why I feel that Niger Deltans will NOT subscribe to the Biafran movement. I have been very practical, philosophical and hypothetical in my approach. I do not speak for any group or persons but I present these issues for the pro-Biafrans to address. Niger Deltans can raise more issues that I have not raised. Finally, it should be noted that I expect insults directed at my person by e-warriors and keyboard mercenaries, as usual, but I won’t pleasure such persons with answers or altercations. If you raise good points, we can discuss like intellectuals.


Long Live Niger Delta!!

For your information, this write up was on social media several years ago. Goodluck Jonathan through his media aid had come publicly to disassociate himself from this.

Other Northern States should follow suit

SmartProf:
From the post, the basis for classification appears to be based on residential areas being categorised as rich or poor . Meanwhile in some cases, rich people build or live amongst people in poor residential areas and vice versa. How will that be sorted?

Its a rare case and cannot be considered as a measure. A settlement where you have 20 rich guys living in the midst of 3,000 poor people is still classified a poor settlement

jesmond3945:
NBA should have respected his office and allow him to speak. If they have issue with his handling of kaduna crisis there are other ways to protest than embarrassing the office of the governor.

Its only in Nigeria that we preserve evil in the name of protection of office

RichBoy247:
Paul Usoro is mad. The whole 19 Northern states will soon pull out of the fraudulent NBA. Association of liars and thieves.

Northern States will only see how irrelevant they are in any organized body of this nation

gambia:
This country can never be one, the earlier we realize, the better for us.

God bless you

A pointer that the nation Nigeria isn't a country and can't work because we have nothing in common and can never build a common interest.

Slave defending his master. Why not call Yoruba lawyers to boycott the conference? I thought you are a Yoruba man?

[quote author=Arrewa post=93059586]In 10 months, violent gangs claimed at least 60 lives in Khana & Gokana LGA, 5 killed in two days in Rumuodogo, Emohua LGA, Bodo community targeted, activist killed, all happened in Rivers state
But NBA won’t dare ban Wike from speaking at their conference.

This is Hypocrisy and Selective interest!!

We all know why they all hated elrufai... [/quo


That is a stupid and idiotic mixups you are bringing up here. What comparison does cult clash in River state got with the heartless organized killings going on under the watch and supervision of the sitting governor of Kaduna state? Live up man!

Time alone will tell

longetivity:
landlock and erosion

Minor issues if Biafra comes

Austino50:
Where is wicked Wike the thuggish governor, anyone close to him should tell him after Edo election matter attend shall be given to him on what is going on in Rivers State, because a lot of mysterious things has been happening there that requires FG attention

If your corrupt FG is like governor Wike, we wouldn't be hearing lies like "i fed the school children with billions of naira during the lockdown".

Broad day Rigging loading....... PDP should be on guard

afube:
I have always admired your contribution which I consider mature and positive,I sincerely implore you to let Mazi Nnamdi Kanu be,he is entitled to his opinion.Time and history will ultimately judge his approach but I do know that his rascally approach has actually established a beach head for our politicians to exploit.

May you live long Sir. It's quite appalling and unintelligent how some people are enjoying the direct outcome of MNK's rascality and yet keep insulting him. Could our leaders have sat up about this project if they didn't sense a dangerous threat coming from MNK's expositions of their infidelity towards their people. I still give credit to his selfless sacrifices for the liberation of our Igbo nation

Electrification:
Unbelievable!!! That is if this is true, what could be responsible for this? How can someone fall from such a position to begging? This is practical demonstration of 'grace to grass'

An elderly man once told me that politicians are beggers, I didn't understand him until he further explained that nothing dulls a man's brain like cheap money. He said he rather learn how to pick from the scratch than being privileged to pick from the top because you can't know how to grow money as a politician. That's why they become poor once they leave office.

Skyonebaba:
FLASHBACK
in 2016 when i was still a teacher at GOD's glory school nkpor the father of one of my students chioma ogbuja who happened to be a big lorry driver was arrested by awkuzu sars , his crime according to the sars guys was that the owner of the lorry he drives from south east to west and northern part of nigeria was a criminal ...... the wife went to the station but didn't see the man there though his vehicle was seen there ..... fellow nigerians till date not even that man's corpse was found ....... he left for work and his children never saw him again



#FAILED COUNTRY

This is sad

Has SARS really helped this nation in cubbing crime? Why can't we tell ourselves the truth.

Myer:
That's the problem of writers. You can't form a fact out of your personal experience.

Like Joshmodest rightly said, there are many who don't fall into your demographic. Many who are social and have good marriages and still addicted to porn.

There are also many firebrand Christians especially the youths addicted to porn.

Sorry please I stand to quote you wrong. There can never be a porn addict happy in his/her marriage and there can't be a fire brand Christian struggling with porn. You just dropped these points from your perspective of imagination and not reality.
Porn is very demonic with its target towards marriage destruction, you may not understand this. Secondly, only lukewarm Christians struggle with porn and not fire brand ones because the fire of God does not grow on the weakness of men, especially pampered weakness.

God bless you God's servant

Artiiclebeast:
These youthful charlatans want chop the Federal APC money.

Dem no want go play second fiddle for PDP wey already get goons for their respective wards.

Native intelligence at work.

Honestly. They thought APC will spray cash to maintain Edo governorship but how wrong they are. APC and FG are broke.

This is the government that was voted in basically because of their campaign promise to fight corruption. Buhari has ended up taking the country to the apex of global corruption rating. Kudos to him.

CrimeKsmart:
The hatred you carry around has blocked your eyes from seeing that the pics is photoshopped.

You definitely know it's Photoshopped but you want to continue spreading hatred against a dead man who stands to lose nothing. I pity you people

If your stupidity and idiocy have not gotten to this irredeemable height, you would have known that the video showed me fresh blood. Tell us some other thing that pains you and stop disgracing yourself with your myopia

Where is he?

Probably in the UK to be cloned like his Oga

Idiotic propaganda of the jobless CNN. Failure on arrival

The government is simply afraid. Nigeria has not had it worse the way we have now in government.
Government of lies and propaganda, why are they afraid of criticism?
