anambraeyes:
Gentlemen of the Press,

1. I convened this conference today to offer some clarifications on the crisis that erupted in Nkpor yesterday between the law enforcement agents and the young men and women who staged a peaceful demonstration under different names to mark the annual Igbo Day. This conference became a necessity following the curious interpretations given to the incident by different segments of the media.

2. However, we are worried that the recent crisis in Nkpor appears to have opened an unpleasant vista on the reportage of issues of grave national importance in the contemporary history of the Nigerian press. We are concerned at how a strain of virulent sensationalism appears to have crept into the various accounts given by different media platforms on the incident (We hope for a more cautionary approach that takes cognizance of the fragile strands of national unity and the supremacy of objectivity over fanciful headlines in professional journalism).

3. It was in a bid to provide a balanced perspective on the matter that we issued a Press Statement yesterday to serve as a guide to journalists whose aim is to provide an objective account on the crisis to the public. Unfortunately, much to our perplexity, a great number of people preferred the sensational to the factual. It is for the purpose of separating the imaginary from the hard facts that we wish to restate as follows –

i. That the peaceful demonstration by youths who allegedly belong to the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to mark the Igbo Day was hijacked by hoodlums whose designs were antithetical to the peace and security of Anambra State.

ii. That these elements who infiltrated the peaceful demonstration, turned violent at Nkpor; fired live bullets at the policemen who were detailed to watch the procession and ensure that it was peaceful and burnt down a patrol van to send a dangerous signal to the entire neighbourhood that Anambra had lost the peace we had all enjoyed for two unbroken years.

iii.
a. Nothing happened inside St Edmunds Catholic Church Nkpor. The confrontation was at a nearby Primary School.
b. No house was burnt. We counted about 2 cars at Eke Nkpor and a motorcycle at Afor Nkpor.
c. His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano has already expressed his deepest condolences to families who lost their dear ones to this avoidable shootout.
d. Items recovered
i. Dynamite
ii. Charms
iii. Machetes
iv. Banners (IPOB etc)
iv. That the actual number of casualties can be ascertained from the office of the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State as against the curious figures being bandied in the press.
v. That contrary to the sensational report alleging that some citizens who took shelter in a church were murdered in cold blood inside the chapel, no such incident happened in actuality. My team visited Nkpor this morning to verify that claim from the residents and it was dismissed as dubious and misleading. However, there was a gun battle between those criminal infiltrators and the police in the premises of a nearby primary school. We urge the general public to disregard this claim as it is false. It is the duty of the Obiano administration to protect the life and property of every Nigerian resident in Anambra State and a threat to the life of any citizen will be resisted with the strongest possible force.
vi. We want to assure Ndi Anambra that calm has since returned to Nkpor and that people have resumed their normal lives under the re-assuring protection of the law.
vii. We wish to appeal to our colleagues in the media and various Nigerians who have assumed the sacred duty of citizen journalism with their mobile phones to always place national interest far and above other considerations, especially in a season of anomie as the one our dear country has found itself in.
viii. Thank you.

That cocaine sniffing basterd Obiano and his fellow idiots will pay 4 all they have done when the time is right

There is no escaping this

simpleseyi:
There are 15 Senators representing the South-East at the Senate, there are 18 Senators representing the South-South at the Senate. There are also about 100 dis-honourable members representing the South-South and South-East at the House of Representatives. Has any of these Biafran at the National Assembly presented a bill that their people do not want to be called Nigerians again? Has anyone of them presented a bill that they want to go their separate way and be independent? If any South-South or South-East member at the National Assembly has presented a bill on their self determination, please let us discuss it and take a decision.

If however, no South-South and South-East member of the National Assembly has never presented a bill on their self determination and Biafra junk but instead, they send their children abroad and send poor men's children to the streets to shout Biafra, then anyone seen on the street mentioning Biafra should be shot, survivors should be re-shot.

Those criminal bastards are inconsequential and worthless to this case

Those who have a say are making things happen already

When the time is right she and her fellow bastards will be excommunicated

[b][size=13pt]As an igboman who have nothing against other tribes in Nigeria, I will like to ask you to do the right thing by refusing to marry my brother.
We igbos care about out genetic integrity and genetic hygiene so much that we find it difficult to dilute the genes of our progeny with that of people with inferior genetic makeup.
This same thing is happening in the north where the superior Fulani blood is gradually been diluted with threat of the Chadic and Proto kwa inferior elements.
I am a product of a mixed race marriage and my mother is Yoruba. As such I have always hated myself and always quarrel with my father for diluting the blood of eri that flow through my vein with that of the Yoruba race.
It is better for all Africans to allow the igbos remain pure since just like the Germans are helping Europe today,igbos will be the savior of the black race.
I have nothing against other tribes or people but I strongly believe in the blueness of the Igbo blood and I have no problem with people believing in their own blood too.
In other to return my progeny to their initial height, I have decided to marry only a lady from the purest Igbo stock that can be found only in anambra(onitsha inclusive since the few Benin blood have been assimilated and over diluted with obosi and Ogidi material)Enugu state and asaba areas of delta state(agbor exluded due to Benin admixture)....other Igbo state have these kind of people but it is now difficult to detect since a lot of dilution have happened over the years especially in imo[/size][/b]

The imbalance from your mix-heritage is exhibited in this confusionist post of yours

if your knowledgeable you would have known that Abia, Anambara, Umuahia, Port Harcourt, Imo, Ebonyi etc
are not original but mere creations of Imperialist and their black slaves

They are not true identities and should not be used for nonsensical superiority grading crap ment to create confusion among Igbo's

When the time is right things would be sorted out the way they originally used to be

prettyboi1:
I won't talk long,..."Love conquers all!" If you love him and he loves you too, that's almost all that matters. You both would need to protect each other from tribal issues on both your side and his.

What Rubbish love

Look there is nothing love when it comes to relationship!!!!!!

What you have is attraction of various degrees and forms

Love is in the blood and only exist within family/blood lines

This is what the natural setting of Love is!

Not the Romantic Bunkum which the white man brainwashed most of you African zombies into believing in

That is why it is impossible to hate your blood

You might resent your blood but can never hate your blood

Resentment can be corrected but hate cannot be corrected cause it stems from a permanent issue

waternogetemeny:
Anybody that thinks OP is woman need to get their head checked. That is a tribalistic Yoruba man obessessed with marriage to Igbo.


He joined nairaland this month and this is the only valid topic to post on FP despite all the problems Nigeria is experiencing.


Go and cover ur head in shame.


igbos should think deeply of baning marriages to Yoruba so dey can rest and let us rest too.

lol

richyblink1:
Brotherly, yeah it's true we will all be father's sooner than later. But a son (man) calmly and boldly telling/ making his people know where his heart and genuine feeling lies, isn't an act of disobedience if you ask me. It's simply obeying and following your heart to make a decision that will either make you unhappy for the rest of your life, or make you a better man in the future.

Parents should learn to guide their children in decision making and not to control and force them to do their bidding

Parents have duty is to preserve the culture and traditions of their forefathers by passing it down to their kids

INTER TRIBAL, INTER RACIAL or inter what ever MARRIAGE SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ENCOURAGED

Those who want to engage in it for themselves can go ahead
but such ABNORMALITY should not be promoted in any way whatsoever

You don't encourage abnormal situations if you want society to remain balanced

Unemadu:
brother i feel what u are saying and i have pondered these things for years but the fact remains that its in human nature to go with what is percieved as the better alternative. Christianity isnt even european but middle eastern. budha is indian but the religion is practised elsewhere. truth is as ozor1 said if you dont present a better alternative to anything in life then you will flow with the current "percieved" best thing.

I have already said what black people need to do

If they like they can keep making excuses for foolishness


Of all races on Earth
Black people are the ones that love to lie to themselves the most

udoka2:
i will Segregate abit here... please pardon me.

If he is from Anambra... my advise is please move on. They love marrying themselve.

if Imo or Abia., the will likely accept you if you behave well after marriage. l trust typical yoruba woman to appear humble whether they mean it or not. You will get the love of an average igbo parent with typical 'yoruba attitude of humility'.


This is just an option, please dont nail me if you are from Anambra, there is always exception to the rule.

Abia is not as open as you think
Most prefer marrying from their constituency sef

femmefetale:
My dear, I'm In an inter tribal relationship presently and my man sef is already castigating where I'm from. It's not easy calming him down. I'm from Anambra, he is from Akwa ibom, and all he says is that the igbos hate to marry from his place. I don't find it funny at all, because he always rings it like a bell bin my hears ALL THE TIME.

Igbo's marry Akwa Ibom (efik/Ibibio) people more than any other group or tribe

What is ur Man talking about?!

sammied:
You're a green snake tribal idiot... my fiancee is igbo and we're presently going through the same issues. my Yoruba parents and siblings have accepted her with overwhelming love.... yet her tribalistic igbo parents have not done the same by accepting me....very shortsighted igbo folks....

Putting her under undue pressure, treating their own daughter as though she's a commodity... thank God she's madly inlove with me and I have been the best man she will ever dream of... she has stood her ground, it's either us or nobody else for her...

so we should throw away 2 years of our life together cos her igbo parents cannot get over their myopic tribalistic views? in this 21st century...

in choosing who to marry.... You all should know that as important as your parents are, they're simply your past not ur future, your intend hubby or wifey is your future and you have the choice either to get Stucked with the past or move on with your future....

It's a pity in this part of the world that bad things that has been long abolished in other countries is still been celebrated here....

You don't force people to give you their daughter to marry
If they refuse, you pack your bag and go somewhere else

it is not your birthright

ozor1:
who let all these happen?? Why cant you turn the table? Nobody forced you to be colonised .this is the reason africa is still backwards, why cant you just look beyond the whites and build a better continent ..the asians were treated like we were years back until dey decided to develope their continent, so brother you have no excuse for being backwards..i still maintian one nigeria is the best ....but not in this current steucture

Most of a Asia didn't and accept and comply with anything the imperialist brought to them

They still maintain their essence that is why they can still develop and advance

Look if black people don't tear down and destroy all this slave camps imperialist put them in
And go and rediscover themselves in their original default setting
THEY ARE bleeped FOR EVER

kaziblake:
if my parents refuse my choice of husband I will do the same to(pregnancy)

This is why you ladies always run into trouble


Always irrational with your decision making

Meanwhile
How una take dey do did 3,5,10yrs boy friend girl friend relationship thing

If 1 stay with you a day after 2yrs then you must be sure I'm marrying you cause I cannot stay with someone that long except you are proper for my future

there no point wasting time on who is not ment 4 you

kaziblake:
She is 26yrs but they both love themselves that why she took in

26yrs and she did that? ha, some of una dey tryoo

Anyway, most Igbo will not easily abandon the mother of their child so she might not have that problem in the future, but the fact is doing such decision is not smart of any lady

You ladies need to learn to make rational decision cause this sentimental emotional decision making you people do all the time is what is always putting you in problems

I know it's hard for most of you to do but you have to learn it
After all you guys want equal rights with men so start trying to reason like them too

dragonking2:
In the past Igbos were not too tribalistic but now Igbos are very tribalistic. Its a big shame

In fact they need to be more tribalistic if you asked me cause their very existence as a people depends on it

Their being to liberal in the past is what put them in the current mess they're in now

kaziblake:
My dear this is tough o..i will advice you to seek God face,if it doesn't work out then find your way.
My cousin is married to an Igbo guy and they are doing fine.
His parent approved the marriage cos they are well learned and aren't tribalistic likewise her parent too...Tribalism is mostly common among the illiterates.
My yoruba friend is facing the same the same issue from her father cos of her igbo boo,her boyfriend parent accepted her wholeheartedly but her own father is the main issue..She took in and she is currently 8month gone but her father is still adamant.
May God help you and morenike

she decided to take in while her father is still adamant??! ha children of these days

IMHO this should only be allowed to happen if the lady is in her mid-30's approaching 40's

IkpuMmadu:
Noted
But I said the fact

Definately

Nkem4040:
I find it funny how they keep mentioning MASSOB. You won't understand if you cannot reason critically. The government has bribed MASSOB to use it to neutralize IPOB, meaning if the Army kills IPOB members, they will say it was MASSOB members they killed in self defense and they... bribed MASSOB will confirm that yes they only killed our members not IPOB. They will even go as far as justifying their killings that the dead and wounded were acting outside of MASSOB guidelines... by arming themselves to harm the Army.

Critical thinking is important not to be brainwashed.

This what most of you should understand

Massob and many of the so called Niger delta what ever miliants are working with the Jihardist Buhari to truncate the movement for emancipation

The bastard Okorocha and the criminal Ohaneze Ndi oshi as well as Bilie animal rights are executing this plan for your Jihadist President

coolviv:
Whose reality? What esteem?Psychological damage, he might as well run mad. Why did he not secure his family better? He doesn't want to die and doesn't want psychological damage but he wants new wife whom he has seen into the future that she ll not be raped too.
Mumu man...Mumu poster...

I don't do unnecessary exchange of words
I'm not in competition with you

When you are ready to address the issue rationally let me know

IkpuMmadu:
Oga what is meaningless


Let us start encouraging people marrying their likes ...it's not a nive thing disobeying parents just to marry

We will all be parents someday so why will you advise somebody to disobey

And why should a lady throw herself on a man that his family doesn't want her...there should be dignity

Why can't the lady simply walk away and let the man sort this thing out of he really wants


This is shameful a lady comes to public forum to lament about Igbo man not marrying her...for Christ sake sue can find men in her tribe or is her tribal men not marriage material


This is shameful ..and for a lady for that matter ...we know husbands are scarce but there should be dignity NAA



A man should be the one doing the chasing .....

You have some point

but I think its harsh to say a lady shouldn't
lament about such situation in public

Women are not naturally built to comply to such

Tompolo is bloody coward
He has been compromised

Adaure4ever:
The fulani herdsmen that have been mudering people up and down, how many times have the Nigerian Army arrested or shot them.
Whats wrong in Ipobs remembering May 30th Biafran day at onitcha and Asaba?
3 million kids died painfully in the civil war just because of Crude oil, Many died in the Asaba massacre.
Why will the Nigeria Army open shoot at a peaceful gathering of the Remembrance day.
Catalans do their protest in Spain and no one is shot, why is Nigeria different?
I am getting hugely tired of this Failed 3rd world cesspit called NiggerArea aka Nigeria.
Igbo blood have flowed in this satanic cesspit country for long, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
This issue will result to a bloody revolution soon, let Pharaoh keep bragging in his wicknedness, the red sea will consume him soon.
I am tired of this damned country, its either we restructure the country or Expect a Bloody Revolution soon.
"Every mistake can be corrected, Lord lugard's own is Not an exception"- Adaure

Any Igbo person that wants 1 Nigeria deserve anything Boko haram brings their way

As for Nigeria?

You have to understand that black people are no different from Monkeys and baboons (after all your terrorist president called you that)

Only an animal answers the name given to it by those that oppress and enslave it

Infact most black people are more hopeless than animals cause many animals will not answer the name an oppressor gives it

Some people killed, raped, ravaged and enslaved you
They destroyed your very essence

They change the name of your continent from Ethiopia to Africa (named after evil Roman emperor Africanus)

They called you Nigga's
They group some of you together in an area and called you Nigga's within an Area aka Nigerian's

They and their affiliates gave you manuals called Bible and Quran

They now told you to worship them that they are your creator and all in all

They made you to build shrines where you will worship them and contribute money from your fellow baboons and monkeys to bring to them in their offices in Rome, Mecca and London

They hopped on their boats and camels to go back to their homes but gave the baboons instruction to make sure the monkeys comply to everything they said

And that they'll be coming once in a while to take any thing they want

And want did black people do after all this

THEY AGREED!!!!!!!!!


That is why they'll keep suffering and dying in horrible ways
cause they've become a hopeless and worthless Race

jaci02:
Emotional Irrationality?

Clearly, you don't seem to be rational at all.

This is beyond a man being humiliated because his wife got raped.

From your myopic point of view, in a case of rape the husband suffers more than the woman. Which is totally absurd.

May I remind you that the woman suffers emotional, psychologically and physically. While the man only suffers humiliation and a blow to his pride.

However, if the husband chooses to abandon his wife because he feels like a loser and can't mentally handle his wounded pride so be it.

But do not tell me that the husband suffers more than the woman in the crime of rape. Or that family members suffer more than the victims in other cases.

Finally if you don't know anything about rape, go and research, because there are global statistics that have analysis of rape, it's victims, psychological trauma accompanied with it and the effects of it to society and family members.

Did you read the response I refer you to?

ie: to Izen

jaci02:
Your point of reason is totally baseless.

Firstly, let's deal with reality. The violence of rape alone to the victims (women ) is not an issue you can talk about because you're not a woman and you have never experienced rape.

Secondly, you can't justify your reasoning based only on psychological damage to a man. The man is not the victim full stop.

So don't you dare tell me that in the case of a married woman being viciously raped, the husband suffers more. Your bias is mainly centered on the male psychology where a man sees himself as a protector, defender and a warrior.

Howbeit, when he fails to live up to his machismo in protecting his family he becomes disappointed with himself and then according to you, he psychologically troubled.

All over the world, reported cases of rape are becoming more daring, deadly, fatal and dehumanizing. A two year old child being thrust not only with a pen1s but with an iron rod. 33 men violently raping a 16 year old girl.

The list is endless.

You do not understand the pain and torture these victims suffer be married or unmarried.

Therefore, you have no right whatsoever to presume in a matter as delicate as this.

You can speak for yourself only maybe you think you will be more devastated if you were in a man's shoes who's wife was raped.

So don't conclude on a general note, because you know nothing of rape, it's victims and their struggle to overcome and survive.

You writeup is what I call
Emotional irrationality



Read to my post before this
if you still need clarification

Izen:
How can you even compare this to rape? Please shut up. Stop embarrassing yourself. It's like comparing the damage insults cause to domestic violence that can actually lead to death. Mtchew!

?

My friend
You are the one embarrassing your self here

It is foolishness to tell someone to shut up when you know you cannot make such happen
Only idiiots waste energy on the impossible

I made my point

if you don't understand my point
you can move along

No one talked about comparison here
and even if you want to compare you compare issues RELATIVELY

If you are referring Rape as the worst thing to happen to a woman
I'm telling you now the worst thing to happen to a Man is not death or what ever, but Irredeemable Humiliation

And for some Men (emphasis on SOME) this situation is a Humiliation that cannot be redeemed!!!

What difficult to understand here??!!

So like I said in my earlier post
Some men (a lot actually) cannot handle such humiliation

So rather than stay in a situation that kills you slowly but surely
It is better the marriage is dissolved
so the man (and the woman) can try starting a new chapter so he can recover some bits of his life back
cause he can never be himself again (especially when relating to the opposite sex)

If such a man decides to continue such marriage the wife might even heal psychologically but he would just be dying of slowly but surely of depression and psychological trauma
Which is not the best for him cause he has reach a point of no return

Remember I looking at it from a mans perspective

Businessideas:
We're one until GEJ lost the elections and some of them sold their soul to the devil against Nigeria's progress. Not all Igbos though, as we have good bad people in every tribe so it's for Igbos. Marriage is a completely different thing, love conquers in things of the heart

What NONSENSE love?

iLegend:
Your moniker gladdens God. Safe journey!

God Who is God, and what does it mean?

jaci02:
No man can ever comprehend enough the agonizing pain, the anguish and the emotional trauma a woman goes through when she's forcefully sexed.

So don't ever, I mean ever say that the man will come out more damaged than the woman.

It's the man's pride that's usually damaged.

You don't begin to understand what it means to be used like a rag for someone's sexual pleasure. To have your body opened and ravaged like a plague without your permission.

If you as a man can imagine another man on top of you and other men hitting you and holding you down while the one on top of you is pushing his penis violently into your anal cavity, then you might begin to understand the picture I'm painting.

SMH

Look
You are not a man
so you cannot speak on things like this from a mans perspective !

Listen and listen good

Nothing kills a man faster than irredeemable Humiliation

if you don't know this before know it now

what would humiliate a man to this extent might differ from men to men

For some men
This situation is a humiliation beyond redemption!

Once a man is humiliated to this extent
he is half dead already
What you have left is almost a walking corpse

This is not about pride or ego
those are inconsequential here

This is about he's very essence of being
1st a human being, and then a man

To the Man
He has become worthless at this point

This stage of a Mans existence is unpredictable, anything can happen at this point

TruthisGOD:
what will u say about the Aba video that depicts the NA shooting them while they were praying? Did they attack NA? At least i watched that video. Some of you guys re jst demonic. Reason y Africa is retarded.

Majority of black people are irredeemably daft and hopeless

It's high time the evil imperialist powers decide to Nuke the entire fucking continent into extinction
cause most black people don't deserve to live!!!!!!!!!


the most useless and worthless race of human beings!

coolviv:
Una sha know say Una go get daughter tomorrow. Kwantinu. ...

meaning

look I'm just telling you reality here

Situations like this the man might even come out with more psychological damage than the woman

It can make him depressed for life(with or without the woman victim)

That's a serious blow to his esteem!
