SE leaders are the most useless leaders in this country. Instead of promoting a safe environment for investment, they let brainless touts take over the land, blame Yorubas for all their backwardness and create an environment of hatred/hate speech in Igboland.
They have insulted everybody, taking after their leader.
nextexcel: Am not surprise a bit,look at all this fat fools we call leaders! Today one of my boy told me that their is war in his village at uzouwani enugu state and this mofos are here wasting our God given time and resources.
IPOB just cant stop insulting people. That appears to be their main stay. So much insults that they dont even know when they insult those who have sympathy for their course. You dont insult your way to have a country of your own, you either talk or fight your way to it.
The SouthEast already has a recognised and constitutional democratic leadership who can make demands and even cry out to UN or US.
IPOB is just a pressure group that ought to first win the approval and support of the constituted authority of the SouthEast who would then channel whatever demands to the national assembly and even file law suits as to the legality of their demands with respect to the Nigerian constitution.
Instead we had an animal with a loud mouth who was abusing everyone and intimidating fellow Igbos and even the Igbo leadership and threatening anarchy , then he will cry to the UN and US claiming victim.
All the referenced Scottish and Catalonian campaign for independence were/are championed by the recognised constitutional and democratic leadership of those regions in their current country.
Yet that half baked hunchback would be claiming UN convention, civil rights, and calling the country a zoo, when he himself is a fundamental illegality.
I repeat, no sane country will tolerate all the words that were coming out of Kanu against the country, the different tribes, the Army, the president. Yet this animal from the jungle continued to freely operate in a zoo which is a luxury not afforded in any European or American zoo.
But IPOB was a butterfly that thought itself a bird. Then came the continued use of outright stinking lies claiming Trump will give them Biafra, Putin will destroy Nigeria, bla bla bla.
Can IPOB manage a country? Can IPOB tolerate any dissenting opinion within Igbo land? Can IPOB have a diplomatic engagement with global agencies who might not agree with their demands only to call the leader of that agency an Afonja or Hausa goat?
Would IPOB not have attempted to promote Igbo purity by exterminating any impure Igbo amongst them. Would every Igbo not have had to rehearse his family history to recite on demand when accosted by the IPOB Nazi militia?
God punish the beast called Kanu. He is an animal who has no rights, and he will be exorcised from this world.
All IPOB terrorists and their sympathizers will be mercilessly run over.
As for SouthEast leaders, they did not learn anything from how the initial support of boko haram by the Northern elders, led to the destruction of the North East.
Like Sambisa, like Aba. Like NorthEast, Like SouthEast, Like Yusuf, like Kanu. In the end, the hate consumed growth and development.
We all knew it will come to this. When goat begin draw the tail of lion wey dey sleep, if the lion wake up, e no go easy. The meeting that SE govs and Ekweremadu are holding now ought to have been held long before now. No be when water don pass garri them dey run go hold meeting.[quote author=ahmedkoded95 :- [post=60490116]Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has finally reacted to the clash between the Nigerian Army and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Abia State.
Atiku, who enjoys the Turakin Adamawa title, said dialogue remained the best option for the looming war in eastern part of the country.
Report had it last night that a combined team of the Nigerian Army, the Police and the DSS had invaded the home of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), abducting his parents and siblings.
Reacting to the clash, Atiku called on governors from the south and the north to reach a truce on the nagging crisis.
He said, “I join my party, the APC to call for restraint from all sides in the aggression happening in Abia State.
“We hear each other better if we speak peacefully. Everyone, please stop escalating the situation. Let us dialogue and listen to each other.
“I appreciate our governors both North and South, for their efforts to maintain calm. Meeting with stakeholders is important and should continue.”
Meanwhile, the Biafra National Guard (BNG) has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for sending Nigerian Army troops to south-east.
The group said the military occupation was to carry out massacre and urged Igbos by all means necessary defend themselves against soldiers deployed to the region.
I dont believe it until power supply improves in my house.
veraponpo: On September 12 this year (2017) Nigeria’s power production reached an all-time peak of 7,001 MW, indicating that Africa’s largest economy now has the capacity to produce more power than it can distribute. In May last year, Babatunde Fashola, minister of Power Works, and Housing, unveiled what he called an incremental power policy as a…

madridguy: I believe in humanity, respect human as a human but this is preventable death.
Top causes of death: IGNORANCE
Spot on. It is only ignorance that will make a man face a trained and equipped military with bare hands. This is what we were saying. An acting president cannot be as decisive as the substantive president.
Why is it that it is police that is signing the release for MASSOB? Nonetheless, this guy stand a better chance to actualise biafra than the gragra of Kanu. The load wey wise man go take sense carry, weight lifter no go fit take power carry am.
dainformant: The Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Chief Ralph Uwazurike was in Anambra State with his members in large numbers to mark their 18th Year Anniversary. The event took place at People's Club of Nigeria Premises Owerri Road Onitsha witnessed large turn out of MASSOB members and supporters.
MASSOB Leader, Uwazurike visits Onitsha, Anambra With Supporters
The Leader - Chief Raph Uwazurike addressed the members on various issues and charged them to remain calm and peaceful and noted that the presence of the security personnel was to protect them and make sure miscreants don't take advantage of the gathering to ferment troubles and bridge the Peace in the State.
The Leader Chief Uwazurike also charged members to disassociate them selves from any act of violence and campaign against the forth coming election in Anambra state,he solicited his members support to security agencies in the state.
Uwazurike also pointed out that boycotting the election is not a wise decision and MASSOB is not and cannot be a party to foolish decisions. He charged members to cooperate with security agencies in the state in building a peaceful sovereign state to aid the actualization of their sacrifice sooner than expected.
The rally was peacefully carried out and the situation was monitored closely by the police and other sister security agencies for maintenance of peace and order.

This is the most resonable comment I have read in a while. People should reason with their brains and with their anus. I have never seen a where a nation fight war with bare hands and insults against an armed military and wins. Maybe we are about to see one in Nigeria, I dont know yet. I think the igbos have spoken and even the deaf have heard their message. Now is the time for them to allow the country to respon to their agitation by words and not by use of military force. Fly wey no dey hear advice, say him get sense pass him papa, ........
Udmaster: Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east, lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu, a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos, this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now, even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start, they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity! ipob is sponsored by opposition party to disrupt buhari administration, Igbos wake up! War is looming Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring? Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ? Why cant Ipob reason with their brain? Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance, please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil opposition agent Kanu will be arrested? What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again, why making things difficult for ourselves? seccesion is war because this is Africa, and who are you secceeding with? Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map, go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA Abum nwa afo Igbo, a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi ndewo nu
kernel505: What's wrong if a people demands for secession against restructuring? Where they not 28 member states in Europe, when United Kingdom opted out? That's the will of the people, it doesn't amount to a fight.
That of UK is different Mr. Man. The countries are different countries who wanted to do some things in common. Here is like south Sudan wanting to go out of Sudan. I guarantee you that if its easy to do referendum to split a country, Nigerians will be clamouring for more countries the way they are clamouring for more states. In the end we will have more than 50 countries out of Nigeria. At the slightest quarrel, Anambra State under APGA leadership will want a different country from Enugu state because it is controlled by PDP. The way to seceed is to go the Ojukwu way. So weigh the consequences. Its not as easy as folks think.
We brought this on ourselves. We dont seem to learn from history. Remember how Obasanjo leveled Odi town because they killed some police officers. When you have choice to choose between a civilian and a retired general next time and you choose the latter, this is what you get. In naija context, retired soldiers are never fully demilitarised. They belief in the use of force at the slightest provocation.
Pythondancef: I have been a silent reader on Nairaland but I had to register just to tell how disappointed I am with Buhari and the military. I have traveled far and wide and I tell you that it's very hard to see military men(in uniforms) in other countries. I traveled to the US last year and I didn't see a single soldier throughout my stay. I only saw soldiers on TV but never did I see them on the streets.
It's totally unacceptable and unconstitutional of the Nigerian Army to invade civilian areas in a show of force. You don't intimidate civilian populace with weapons, especially in an area where the tension is high. It's complete terrorism on the part of the Army and I would like to advise them to stop whatever they are doing. The police should be deployed in cases like this.
It's just like a lion threatening to eat a rat and then few weeks later the lion comes closer to the rats house all in the name of "Show of force". Don't you think the rat would attack the lion just to gurrantee its safety? Don't you think the rat has reasons to attack first because of fear? This provocation by the Nigerian Army should stop, this Biafran issue should not be escalated further. The military should leave the court to decide Kanu's fate, they cannot take laws into their own hands.
I am not a Biafran supporter in anyway. All reasonable Nigerians should be against this madness. If we don't condemn the Nigerian military now, they will do this over and over again with impunity and you wouldn't know when it's going to be your turn. You might praise the army and condemn the Igbos now, but remember that we live in a world of karma.
I agree with Falana and all Nigerians APC or PDP should do the same..
You forget to add one thing to the tribalism and religion, politics of APC & PDP no let them fit talk true again especially for nairaland. They look at everything politically.
modelmike7: What comes around goes around. Karma is Bae!
Modified: Just imagine what this one below me is saying! Is he trying to justify what the robbers and ritualists did was a good thing? Sometimes I wonder why the youth of this country talk without reasoning. I wonder why tribalism and religion sentiment as eaten deep into their skull, these are the things your corrupt politicians as imbibed into you since time Immemorial. Keep being foolish!!
To your disappointment I am not from there. I am just an objective analyst. Its very unfortunate folks like you have allowed tribalism and political affiliation to beclound how you view everything around you. Its sad.
Daboomb: Talk like this usually comes from ONE PLACE!
Potopoto Republic!
Talk like this can only come from ONE PEOPLE!
IPOB Piglets.
Now, if we x-ray you, l can bet my balls that you are exactly as described. Carry-on , please.
All this hustle self. Both armed robber, drug trafficer,kidnapper, ritualists, them go say all na hustle. I tire o.

meethumb: Special Assistant to the Ekiti State governor on New Media and public communication, Lere Olayinka has offered to cross President Buhari’s ‘National Redline’.
Olayinka made this known in a letter, written and circulated online on Sunday, 10th of September 2017.
The political and new media giant’s letter Reads:
September 10, 2017.
General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Aso Rock Presidential (Residential) Villa, Abuja.
Dear President Buhari,
OFFER TO CROSS YOUR NATIONAL RED-LINE
Your Excellency Sir, because of your health, I will go straight to the main reasons for writing this letter.
My name is Lere Olayinka, a citizen of Nigeria from Okemesi-Ekiti, Ekiti West Local Government, Ekiti State.
Upon your return to Nigeria after 103 days abroad, spending our money to treat yourself of sickness you never disclosed to us, you came up with your National Red-Line threat.
Even though you have failed, and or neglected to tell us what amounts to crossing the national red line, your Information Minister, Lai Mohammed already threatened Nigerians on Hate Speech before your arrival.
From your understanding, crossing national red line is the same as telling you and the cabal ruining Nigeria the truth about the cluelessness of your government. It is about not behaving like the 15 million mumus who voted for you, hoping that you will improve the economy of Nigeria despite that you were unable to improve your personal economy – remember your cows did not increase from 150 that they were since 2003!
silastemplar: So a Nigerian should just send that rubbish to a countries president all in the name of opposition politics. I trust Buhari , he will ignore this one like he has been ignoring his principal. irritants
These insults are not right but they are not just starting now. OBJ was called a cousin to chimpazee because of his appearance. GEJ was called clueless because of the way he approached issues. IBB was called maradona because of the way he outsmarts people. Let not tackle this as if PMB is the first president to be insulted while in office. Like I said, this doesnt make the insults right.
It is a reckless write up, but they are permited in a democracy. Afterall we are not in a military regime. There is nothing Jonathan was not called when he was president. OBJ was called a cousin to chimpazee but all this are allowed because in a democracy freedom of speech is the order of the day. If you dont want insult in Nigeria politics, stay at home. If you must approach a girl, be ready for what ever is thrown at you.

stephenduru: Armed robbers yesterday attacked passengers on transit along Kaduna/GWARI Highway.Two Toyota Hiace buses(Kwara Express) arrived Gen. Hosp. B/GWARI with 2 dead bodies who are victims of the attack.Several others sustained varying degrees of gun shot injuries.
This has been the experience and occurrence almost on daily basis along the Highway.The government and security agencies should map out measures in tackling the hoodlums who always attack helpless passengers along this route.
ChangeIsCostant: A motorcyclist popularly known as Okada man was stabbed to death by suspected robbers in Amukpe, Sapele area of Delta state. According to eyewitness account, the body of the diseased who is an Hausa man was found in the early hours of the morning lying lifeless. It was gathered that there were marks of perceived struggling between the deceased and the robbers.
He was reportedly killed and his motorbike stolen from him.
I am not igbo but think the igbos, as a major ethnic group in Nigeria, are being marginalised and need be compensated as a matter of urgency. Aside that, I am not surprised at the raid on Kanu's place. When you have 2 kings in a town or 2 presidents in a country, that town or country can not have peace. The activities of Nnamdi Kanu are not different from that of Shekau and his co travellers. When you want to control a part of a country that has a president, then prepare for the unslaught that comes with it.
Maybe she fight and them tear her cloth and she pick bike dey run go home. So wetin happen?
CastedDude: A woman was spotted topless on a motorbike. According to Facebook user, Unyime Ekwere Bassey, the lady was spotted topless along Lekki expressway in Lagos as she was being transported by a motorcyclist. The young lady was filmed by a motorist who found it very unusual.
Below is what was shared by the Facebook user;
Happening now broad day light along Lekki expressway, Lagos state. This beautiful babe on white trousers, has no top on....Is this madness or end time or something is wrong somewhere? Because I don't get. Shock and shame together wan kee me for her. Mmama Asikwa Ikott please comman carry your slay queen sister o. Damn!!!
Angelanest: Here are pictures of some senior Boko Haram terrorists commanders who were neutralized last week Friday, 1st September 2017, during aerial bombardment on their hideout in Sambisa forest. The neutralized Ameers, Abubakar Benishek, Modu Bako and Audu Kubuiri.
On 1 September 2017, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) neutralized hundreds of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in Garin Maloma area in Sambisa Forest. A NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (iSR) platform had earlier sighted the BHTs who were gathered under some trees.
Consequently, a combination of NAF fighter aircraft namely the F7-Ni, Alpha Jet and L-39 ZA aircraft was detailed to carry out air interdiction on the BHT gathering.
The Alpha Jet aircraft acquired and attacked the target with bombs, neutralising many of the BHTs. Thereafter, the F-Ni aircraft immediately conducted a bomb attack, which resulted in the death of more BHTs.
The L-39ZA aircraft then followed through by strafing fleeing terrorists with rockets, killing most of them in the process. After the attacks, a few BHT survivors were seen scampering from the location.

Ibori was debriefed by EFCC on his return to naija from UK prison. I suspect he was warned to stay away from PDP in order to continue to enjoy peace otherwise his file will be reopened. Lets see how things pan out.
stephanie11: A reconciliation committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by its Chairman, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike alongside the governor of Delta state, Ifeanyi Okowa met with top politician, James Ibori at his country home in Oghara on Saturday.
Ibori, who sat at the head of the roundtable was all smiles as the committee proceeded to table out their reason for visiting him. It is strongly believed that the visit to Ibori is part of a series of visits to several politicians being made by the PDP.
A reliable source informed PoliticsNGR that the former ruling party is desperate to reclaim power in 2019, adding that a lot of Horse trading has been going on between the party and its former members. Below is a footage from the meeting obtained by PoliticsNGR;
Truth is bitter. There are conditions attached to this bail and this guy and his lawyers signed that they agree. If these conditions are broken, what follows next is as expected. QED.
My take is this. Take it easy. Almost all men are freaks. If you think there is a perfect man out there, its a lie. Try manage the situation calmly. Handling the situation angrily may take the matter out of control and you could regret your action. Pray to God about and check to see if there is something you are not doing right. Maybe you could also relocate since you said both of you are staying in different towns.
honestwife: Hello house, I have been been a nairalander for many years and i just need advice because am so devasted. I got married to my husband 7years ago with 3beautiful kids ,a girl and 2 boys
My husband is that perfect men any woman would ever prayer for.i have never suspected him for once not until last year september that i saw some frequent call from a particular no, i decided to take the no and store on my own phone,,i suspected he was cheating but i did nit have any evidence to prove it.
So last month,i activated an automatic call recording on his phone and here i am, all my doubt were confirmed, i decided not to ask him as i laid down my own plans too, i took his phone and scan his whatapp QR code and i deactivated the notification so he wont know. So with this, i was able to veiw all his chat directly from my phone through this chat i saw that the lady was around at his place yesterday morning and i travelled in the eveningbecause we dont live in the same state due to transfer
i took my children to my sisters place and i travelled, looo and behold this lady was wearing only paint and bra in my husbands room although i gave both of them good dirty slap of thier life, and i told her i have details of his guy and that i was going to call and let him know the kind of girl she is
so now to cut the long story short this lady has a fiance which is planning to wed her because i got to her instagram page and facebook page and i saw that she has a very good guy at her hand thus made me sad because i dont know why she would cheat with my husband even after having a good relationship,
my decision is that am planning to call this guy through facebook call and send him all the recording and whatappbchat between her fiance and my husband
i just want to know if am making the right decision
I like your post about karma. It catches up sooner or later. I hope she has not equally dated another woman's husband before she got married? I ask because when some of these people are doing it to others, they do not consider it a big deal until it is their turn to experience how sweet it is to share their husband with another lady. No insult intended, please. Just speaking from experience.
FemiEddy: I am not married yet, so am not fit to give you an advice, but at least I can reason well and have seen things so this is my opinion Firstly, Leave the lady and her husband alone, Karma always comes back to hunt it's victim, she will reap the fruit of her labour, mind ur business and give ursef peace of mind. Secondly, ur husband, u know his weak point, maybe pounded yam, or one food, or maybe d oda room, give him a good treat, after he is calm and relaxed, confront him, just ask him why he did it, he will tell u , don't raise your voice o, u already have three kids, those are ur treasure. If you indeed love ur husband, please try, it's hard, but try for the sake of the kids My opinion
ChangeIsCostant: Chelsea's stars enjoyed a brief flight on Friday as the club took the unusual step of travelling to their away game at Leicester via aeroplane. Eden Hazard, Michy Batshuayi, Victor Moses and Co posed for photos on board the chartered jet as the squad prepared for take-off.
Chelsea have chosen to fly to Leicester ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash - despite just 102 miles separating Stamford Bridge and the King Power Stadium.
Chelsea are set to welcome Hazard back into the fold with the Belgian in contention to feature for his club for the first time this season.
Hazard played twice for Belgium over the international break and has been training with the Chelsea first team after recovering from a fractured ankle suffered in June.
It means Antonio Conte has a full squad to choose from - with new signings Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta in contention to make their Chelsea debuts.
With the exit of these people from pdp, I think the party is better placed. There were the bad eggs. They crossed over to finish APC and that is why the party cannot perform. Their yansh go open after they leave office. Nonesence. Thief dey join beat the thief when them catch. Your own dey front.
