You don't insult your inlaws it is very rude of you and very bad taste and you have very filthy dirty thoughts,
Disgraceful !

Never insult those who gave you their daughter in marriage

Onyeka herself disliked the man and insulted him in every decade. So rest. They divorced.

LagosG:
Intermarriage is beautiful

Marriage dt ended in divorce and she never stopped saying she regretted.

Even as recent as 2022 she still disparaged the marriage.

By Chinagorom Ugwu July 30, 2024

Simon Ekpa, a controversial Biafra agitator, has claimed responsibility for the killing of four police operatives in Owerri, Imo State, south-east Nigeria.

The killing
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that gunmen attacked and killed four police operatives along the Onitsha-Owerri Expressway at about 6:30 p.m. on Monday.

Aside from the operatives, the hoodlums also shot dead a woman – a Point on Sale (PoS) machine operator – in the area.

Mr Ekpa, a Nigerian who is based in Finland, heads Autopilot, a faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The Biafra agitator also founded Biafra Defence Forces and Biafra Liberation Army, which are armed militant wings of the Autopilot IPOB.

He has been linked to some deadly attacks in the region.

Ekpa claims responsibility
In a post on his X handle shortly after the attack, Mr Ekpa announced that members of his Biafra Defence Forces had killed the operatives in Owerri.

“The Biafra Defence Forces Owerri Command has recovered weapons from the terrorists after neutralising them in numbers,” he wrote on the microblogging platform at exactly 8:50 p.m. on Monday.

Mr Ekpa, a Nigerian-Finnish citizen, often refers to Nigerian security operatives as “terrorists.”

The Biafra agitator said he and his group are demanding the withdrawal of all Nigerian security forces from the South-east and that they were committed to enforcing the demand.

“If you think you will continue to use force and terrorism tactics to force us to remain in the union, this will continue to be your faith in Biafraland,” Mr Ekpa stated, referring to the latest attack on the police.

Although the word “faith” was used by the source, it is grammatically wrong and should, therefore, be changed to “fate.”

The Biafra agitator often shares on his X handle details of attacks in Nigeria’s south-east.

Like IPOB, which Nnamdi Kanu leads, Mr Ekpa is seeking the secession of the south-east and some parts of the south-south from Nigeria to form an independent state known as Biafra.

The agitators often refer to the South-east and South-south regions as “Biafraland.”

Video clip
Mr Ekpa also attached a video clip to the X post.
The clip showed four rifles and some police case files displayed by some persons who claimed to have attacked and killed the operatives.

The clip, however, did not show the faces of the persons speaking in the background.

“Papa, it wasn’t easy. You know today is the beginning of sit-at-home (in the South-east). People were asked to sit at home, and these people (police operatives) came out to extort people,” one person said in the Igbo language.

“These are Nigerian terrorists who were at their duty post despite our leader’s sit-at-home order. But they felt they work for the government and would not obey the order,” he stated.

“They have now seen it happen today in Owerri, which is 29 July 2024.”

The armed men appeared to be making a report of their operation to Mr Ekpa, who had earlier declared a four-day sit-at-home in the South-east.

Apparently addressing security operatives, one of the armed men added: “Our leader earlier told you, people, that any police or army operative in Biafraland, it is better you resign or we will use your head to work.”

Connecting the dots
Mr Ekpa, on 21 July, declared a four-day sit-at-home across the five states in the South-east.

The Finland-based Nigerian, in a statement posted on his X handle, said the illegal order would be enforced in the region from 29 July to 2 August, excluding 1 August.

Several persons and the Nigerian government have called for Mr Ekpa’s repatriation to Nigeria to face charges over his role in the insecurity in the South-east.

For instance, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, on 21 July, asked some members of the House of Representatives to consider repatriating Mr Ekpa to Nigeria to face prosecution.

The Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, last June, accused the Finnish government and the European Union of blocking the repatriation of the Biafra agitator.

Well, I like us going back since according to our elders, their time is better.

Since we started singing 'Arise, o compatriots ' tribalism started increasing so let's go to the old one.

We need to also go back to the 1963 constitution!

That ironsi threw away. I agree.

This president has successfully passed every single thing he planned on passing.

With speed too.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing.
He's brave though.

An old interview on the 62nd anniversary of Nigeria by Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going viral on twitter. He states that he preferred the old national anthem and if he had an opportunity will revert back to it.

Watch below:

Transcript:
Tinubu: We are one and one Nigeria, and we should be proud of our green.....
In fact if I had my way, I would bring back our old, first national anthem. That described us much much better. I don't know why we changed it. Its about service, it's about diversity, its about commitment to value and national building so that is my message....

Yes. His SA posted this.

y3mi:
Wait a sec. I don't understand. You mean he should just sulk it in, pretended nothing happens, just to keep that charade of a spectacle called family working. You don't have to put yourself in his show, would you support so if he was your brother or son?


What does this mean...


Bro Bridgette Macron is 24 years older than her husband. What are you saying? What's playing out in Nigeria is a more than what meets the eyes. There is a pattern to this and it spells sinister targeting of a class within a particular ethnic group. Real life examples abound.

Seconded.
My exact same point to monogams, why I wrote all this HERE


Bro this is not just about men and simp anymore. There's this long term rumor about Yoruba guys/men who rich and well-off specifically targeted by non-Yorubas ladies for motives such as what has befallen the footballer and the the late Gov. of Ondo. I usually dismiss it as untrue and mere coincidence. When I got more and more revelations, it jolted my memory to recall a similar situation that occurred to the second brother of a late great grand uncle who was very rich with wealth, married a non-Yoruba who after dying under mysterious circumstance the wife ran off with the children to America after selling off the properties, never to be heard of till date since the time of of regional govt. So there is a pattern to this that is way more than just simping and not guarding your self as it is said when you're targeted, you will fall for them because of youre not aware.

Yoruba men simp for free pussy. Many can't see free pussy and carry face. Enemies and opportunist women see them as an easy target.
They are right.

ednut1:
where is the wife then 😏

Jimi odukoyas wife is Kemi Odukoya. She prefers to be low-key. They have done several interviews together.
Pastor Kemi even gave a very moving speech at pastor nomthis burial.

EMXTAN1:
Not uncommon...
Most likely the sister isn't married yet.. or she's chosen to remain with the Father's name after marriage.

Pastor Tolu ijogun is married with 3 kids (2 daughters and 1 son). For years now.

Na why igbo men dey give them dead body water drink to swear say dem no kill their husband.
They specialise in torturing housemaid & killing husbands.

Even if he doesn't , we shall forced him to contest 😁😁😁

Lol, so he can split votes abi.

The politician posted this on his social media page:

"Wole Soyinka is 100% right. Nigeria cannot survive a man who turns to a parrot when disaster strikes in the North, Southwest and South-South, only to chop and clean mouth when it happens in Igboland. Today, he is condemning what happened in the North. Was there not a car accident that killed sixteen people in Enugu two weeks ago? Did Peter Obi talk about it? Yet, when a car accident killed fourteen people in Kogi last month, Obi was jumping all over social media mocking them as being "roasted alive".

Obi is a regional candidate. Nigeria is too unstable for an unstable President.

Now, just watch as they insult, abuse and threaten Professor Soyinka!

He's baaack!

They only support it cos that was what they all sang in school and theyre nostalgic.

What about the rest of us that never heard this before and also nostalgic towards our most recent anthem. Ecspecially the 2nd stanza. They should just break the nation already. All this patch patch sef.

Points he made in the interview:

I Was Surprised It Took Long For Biafra Consciousness To Resurface In Nigeria After 1967-70 Civil War –Soyinka

May 23, 2024

Nobel Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka has narrated how he got into trouble with the Nigerian government when he said it could not defeat Biafra. The literary icon said that, therefore, he was surprised that it took so long for the Biafra agitation to be resurrected as spearheaded by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Between July 1967 and January 1970, a civil war known as the Biafran War was fought between Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state which had declared its independence from Nigeria in 1967. The secession was led by Lieutenant Colonel Chukwuemeka "Emeka" Odumegwu Ojukwu.

“So nothing surprised me at all, in fact, it surprised me that they took so long in terms of the Biafra resurrection to take place in terms of consciousness,” Soyinka said in a recent interview with Noble Nigeria.

According to Soyinka, it is a mistake for the Nigerian government to keep Kanu in detention since 2021. He said Kanu had the right to pursue his cause for a separate nation of Biafra as “he was never accused of physically bombing any place or killing anyone”.

He said, “I said at the time and this is what got me into serious trouble, they felt that by making the statement, in fact, it was single out, that by making such a statement, I was trying to demoralise the federal side and actively promote the Biafran cause when I said and I wrote that ‘You cannot defeat Biafra’.

“And people took a very simplistic approach to understanding that; they thought I was talking about the battlefield. That is involved as well because when the people are determined, they are willing to sacrifice anything to preserve their identity when they feel they are on a righteous cause.

“It’s difficult to defeat them, yes. If there is any military defeat, it’s only temporary. The real issues remain unsolved. I mean, that is a lesson of history all over the world. And so, when I made that statement, Biafra, that notion, concept and all that it involved, the antecedents and the present including the future, seeing what a people who were determined to go on their own, seeing what they could become, that is part and parcel of the cause and when you have that kind of binding combination of different causes, it is very difficult to defeat them and so Nnamdi Kanu represents that concept.”

Nice he got over it. Hes happily married to his beautiful wife Ayomitide for 14 yrs now.
They just started a new ministry as he is taking a step back from living faith.

This was how they handed over power in Lagos in 1999. Governor Marwa handed over to Governor Tinubu. Military to Civilian.

Tinubu always builds solid relationships with all his benefactors and acquaintances. Even his former boss at Mobil is the Chairman of NNPC Board today.
