SOLDIERS of the Nigerian Army, deployed under ‘Operation Udoka’, are forcing travellers in the South-East to disembark from vehicles at numerous checkpoints that litter the region, checks by The ICIR have shown.

On getting to any of the checkpoints manned by heavily armed soldiers on major highways in the region, vehicles – both commercial and private – would stop to discharge passengers. The passengers, mostly travellers, will then trek across the checkpoint. On getting to a considerable distance beyond the checkpoint, they will stop and wait for the vehicle that was conveying them.

The driver will then move the vehicle past the checkpoint to meet the waiting passengers, who will subsequently return to their seats in the car.

The journey will continue until the vehicle gets to the next checkpoint, where the process will be repeated.

The ICIR’s correspondent, who experienced the situation while travelling across the South-East states, noted that the development frustrated motorists and travellers in the region.

During a trip from Enugu to Umuahia, Abia State capital, on Friday, July 21, the commercial bus boarded by The ICIR correspondent was made to stop and discharge passengers at eight different checkpoints.

At each of these checkpoints, passengers – both young and old, male and female – had to come down and trek to the other side to wait for the vehicle.

Interestingly, vehicles and passengers are not searched at the checkpoints. But The ICIR correspondent observed that the heavily armed soldiers were alert as they watched the passengers walking past the checkpoints.

During the morning period, when a lot of people are travelling, the checkpoints are usually crowded with so many passengers who disembarked from several vehicles. The vehicles, mostly buses, which had discharged the passengers, will also queue up. They wait until the passengers have walked past the checkpoints before driving through, one after the other, to pick up their passengers.

The ICIR correspondent observed that when the volume of traffic at the checkpoints is high, some passengers have difficulty identifying the particular vehicle they boarded.

The repeated disembarkation at numerous checkpoints is not only stressful, it also wastes time, making the journey last much longer than it should.

The journey from Enugu to Umuahia, which ordinarily should be less than one hour, lasted more than two hours.

“Is this a war zone? It is only in war zones that you can witness this,” an aggrieved passenger muttered as travellers waited for their vehicle to move past the checkpoint and pick them, to continue the journey.

Many passengers expressed anger at the situation. A passenger, who said she has gotten used to the situation, being a regular traveller on the route, explained that she starts her journeys two or three hours earlier than usual in order to meet up with appointments. “If not, you will not arrive on time. You have to add extra one or two hours in order to meet up,” the woman told other travellers.

An old woman, who complained of arthritis, could barely walk across one of the checkpoints and had to be supported by sympathetic co-travellers.

Same thing 10 years ago when we were traveling in the north east. You have a terrorist group operating on your soil, you face the consequences

It means any results coming out from Ogun is highly suspect

AmotekunSW:
A wise man learns from the experiences of others
A fool learns from his own sorrows.

You are worse than a fool.
You are senseless and have refused to learn from your senselessness.

Amotekun idiot who worships a Jewish god. Have you even met a white man before in your life? I bet not and yet you worship his lowly god owing to your inferior complex. What a dumbass you are

AmotekunSW:
Learn what you can from the story and move on.
It's better that way.

What is there to learn from a fake ass Jewish tale? Only Jewish slaves like you see any value in it

Fake ass Jewish folklore

jesusjnr2020:
What Are The Words In The Bible That Scare You Most As A Christian?

There are several of them that come to mind, but I don't think there's anyone that beats this saying of Jesus to many anointed leaders and ministers of the church on the last day:

"Depart from me, I never knew you." Matthew 7:23

Why this is so frightening is because these weren't just floor or inactive members of the church, but prominent and anointed ones, including church leaders and ministers. And many of them were so sure of themselves being saved and servants of Jesus, yet Jesus would tell them to depart from Him that He never knew them. Matthew 7:23

I don't think there's anything worse that could ever happen to any Christian.

God bless.

Why should anyone be scared of the writings of some ancient Jewish book?

Urheadmaster:
They've shifted focus on ipob/ESN miscreants for the main time

Call me

Any Education that is free is not a quality Education.


- Ikedi Ohakim

I studied abroad for free and the education I got is better than anything that obtains in Naija. Free education doesn't necessarily mean poor education

Successdude:
Pls that idea of generalization to prove a point without evidence doesn't hold true in all instances. It's laughable to include obi in that statement.

It's clear to the blind and deaf that that is an anomaly

And how is Obi any different? Isn't he just another crooked politician just like the rest of them?

Buy fuel

I don't really blame the man for doing what he did, but I do however blame the gullible people who were stupid enough to believe anything a politician tells them. That goes for Atiku, Obi and all the others

Just wait until the winter comes at the end of the year when European demand increases.

Any inyamurin leaving Nigeria should be considered a suspect and treated as a potential drug dealer

GoodIsGod:
Yes I am a very good ambassador of Christ.
Many of you idiots think christians should be so meek to receive your insults. No! Many of us don't take nonesense.

Jesus drove the iddiotts like you out of the synagogue with a whip.
Oh! You never heard that?

Proverbs 26:4-5 – Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eye.


I use the bolded to put your demonic ego to correction.

AS A CHRISTIAN I AM INSTRUCTED TO USE EITHER OF THE TWO INSTRUCTIONS.
SO, I DECIDED TO USE THE LATER.

I am not sorry for calling you and others who mock our God Fools.

You are not just a Fool but a very BIG one.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Do you fear God?
You don't even believe there is one.

Guy, you lack wisdom.

You are a FOOL!

Period!

I like the energy you put up in writing your fruitless epistle but you're still a white man's slave and would remain so till the rest of your life

GoodIsGod:
You are a FOOL!
A very big one indeed.

Go back and read the Topic like seven more times so that it will sink into your empty demonic skull.

"Your Best Posture or Position When Praying"

Personal Choice is what it's talking about.

It is not

"The Best Posture and Position When Praying"

Half education is like poison to the mind of fools.
Don't always jump on Christian threads to oppose it stupidly.

Happy Sunday anyways.

This is a good ambassador of Christ. The white god fostered on you by the white man

Dumbasses. When will you realize that you're nothing but slaves to the white man's religion?

Peradventure the SC releases Kanu, the FG needs to as a matter of national security rearrest and charge the terrorist with new crimes. The man was freed on a technicality and never really acquitted himself from the actual charges.

Classical blackmail, it didn't work on Buhari let's see if it works on Tinubu

SultanOfPuna:
Religion has turned my mother into a shadow of herself.
Ever since our teenage years my mother was not the churchy type. We are raised Catholics
Back then she was active and bubbling.

all of a sudden my mother left Catholic faith and started messing around with different churches.
This has cause countless rift between us, my dad and elder sister have done everything possible but my mum is too brainwashed by these Pentecostal pastors.

How can someone be attending Christ embassy and winners chapel?? I Heard she wants to join mountain of fire but changed her mind.
Everytime church, church, church
Yet she never gain anything from it
I have been sending her money for her for upkeep since November last year only to come back home February this year and discovered she donates everything to different churches


I feel she might have a mental disorder and I don't know how to save her.
She literally spends all the money in church donation tithe and all those craps. And those pastors always calling her to come for one program or the other. I don't know what to do

I think any black man who subscribes to the religion of the white man is a complete idiot and that includes the Arabic religion as well

001Lagos:
stop mistaking me for Helinues . I am not tribalistic

My mother is Igbo and dad is Yoruba .

And who cares? You still have one head with nothing in it

One pound is currently selling for N1003

001Lagos:
Igbos will continue to prosper in all fields of endeavour

God loves the Igbos

Igbo land will never fall like Ilorin to strangers because Ndigbo are God's own people.

Bullshit

While the rest of the world is making great strides in science and technology to make life better some Nigerians are looking for recognition on some dumb shit

BiafranPatriot:
Yoruba man stop it abeg. Let IGBOs go.

All this analytical skills from you is not required again. You think NIGERIA is their only market? You are a big Joker.

Without federal infrastructure since after the war, you didn't speak up for them. Now every single individual of IGBO extraction and other affiliates wants to leave and you have become pained? Just stop it abeg ..let them go.

This Unity BEGGARS sef..spits

What other market do you Ibos have other than Nigeria? You don't manufacture anything all you do is import from others and sell

do you know how many children give birth to boys in their 20s that happen to be autistic? Boys also have a higher chance of being autistic. Educate yourself on autism please!

Sister I've done my research and it tells me that r older parents stand a higher risk of birthing autistic children. It doesn't matter if the parent is male or female. No man is going to risk that
