when some uninformed and hate-filled people shout that ipobs are criminals and miscreants, I laugh at their stupidity because they don't know that 99% of igbos outside Nigeria want Biafra like say tomorrow no dey.... the support is actually coming from there..... many that don't join the rallies doesn't mean we don't support Biafra and some hopeless individuals who are struggling with their lives are calling other people jobless and miscreants

greenmonk:
What Amadi is saying is that you cant use high tarrif to cover poor services. It is only in nigeria that that power trip by 12 midnight wont be restored until 8am. Who pays for the wasted energy？
I am a power generation and distribution person.

some people's brain are so programmed that they don't have a right to reason on their own..... there's no explanation you will give to them from now till tomorrow they will understand.....

Fashola is only interested in tarrif hike when the discos are not interested in giving services that corresponds to the price they are asking for....

NtoAkwaIbom:
Shebi..
dats why Even Biafra sef no wan go their Biafra without "ATTACHING" South South to their map..
so everybody jus wan use us now... nditoredidianso mkpor

what differentiates you from the Biafran people you are talking about? why not speak for yourself or your state and not talking about south south? if you are from Akwa Ibom, are you from Delta State too?

Trump's White House will keep its guest book secret


The Trump administration will keep the records of who visits the White House secret, ending a practice started under the Obama administration of partially releasing visitor logs, a White House official said Friday.

Even though President Trump led chants of “drain the swamp” during the campaign and promised to protect government business from special interests, the decision makes it harder for the public to know who is influencing the president and his close advisors.

Keeping the visitor logs hidden from public view will protect the privacy of visitors and is meant to address security risks that may be posed if people are identified publicly as close to Trump, White House communications director Mike Dubke said Friday.

The public and the media will be able to file requests for the logs under the Freedom of Information Act, Dubke said. Such requests often require legal action that can delay the release of records for several years.

"Given the grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, the White House Office will disclose Secret Service logs as outlined under the Freedom of Information Act, a position the Obama White House successfully defended in federal court,” Dubke said in a statement.

The Secret Service conducts background checks and keeps a list of all visitors to the 18-acre White House grounds.

The Obama administration voluntarily released some visitor records, but often omitted the names of visitors that Obama’s aides considered sensitive, such as candidates for judicial posts and personal contacts, including celebrities and some Obama campaign donors.

op, i really dont get your own on this.....

i dont care whether its true or not, but i just want to correct one impression.

was it white house that released the names or ipob?...... your post would have made sense if ipob claimed the list is coming from whitehouse.

they released names of people that will represent them on a meeting and you said its a lie? so, if they had gathered and selected people that will represent them, wont the list still be on public view?

so, you should wait till the date they fixed for the meeting before typing that rubbish up there. i dont know why you guys are having sleepless night about ipob

this really a shame that a so called leader who has done nothing to alleviate the pains of his people could be saying.

did they increase the minimum wage or did the price of things in the market reduce as to say thats the effort they put in to make life better?

[size=14pt]so, that i decided to adapt to your wicked rule, you still come to take credit for it too? [/size][/size][size=8pt]

is this supposed to be a news?

are the lands given to them free by the government? is not their (igbos) money they use to buy the lands?

can this be taken to front page to get a wider view and anaylises.

i think issues like these are things we need to discuss in this country so as to address the anomalies.

@Mynd44

where are the "we South south" groups? they won't come now to berate their people that just said they wont be election in their regions?

If Kanu had said this, they will start postulating all hypothesis and theorems why that is a wrong call, how it will affect the igbos?

you guys be talking like there are no Igbo soldiers in Nigerian Army

richeeyo:
This guy is just a disgrace to democracy

what makes him a disgrace?

do you have a counter opinion to what he just said or are you guys so programmed that you reason one way?

After weeks of public furore and media frenzy, a sudden blackout has descended on the case of Chukwuduneme Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, Nigeria’s infamous billionaire kidnapper, thus fuelling speculations that he’s escaped, or dead.
Saturday Sun has however gathered that Evans is not dead as his family now fears but has been moved from the Lagos police command headquarters cell by about 30 heavily armed men at midnight few days ago to an undisclosed destination. Some senior police officers in the know told Saturday Sun he was moved to Abuja
Indeed, in the last few days, a palpable silence seemed to have enshrouded the Evans phenomenon. Where is Evans? It is a question the police is not prepared to officially answer right now. A man who hitherto divulged the details of his criminal life to the public almost on a daily basis is suddenly no longer accessible to even the press corps.
All a Saturday Sun reporter who visited the state police command was told was that Evans is no longer allowed to talk to the press till further notice. The secrecy surrounding his whereabouts in the official quarters baffles those who have closely followed his story since his arrest.
After days of sniffing around the Lagos police formations to get information on Evans whereabouts, it was gathered that the kidnap kingpin had been moved out of the Lagos command headquarters days ago by heavily armed policemen and is yet to be returned.
Police had last week said they had got a court order to detain him for three months to give them enough time to complete their investigation. This followed two suits filed by Evans lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, at the High Court seeking his release and claiming N300m damages from the police.
Some senior police officers who spoke to Saturday Sun on condition of anonymity expressed fears that Evans might not make it to the court. They argued that he might plot his escape from prison, or get across to some of his members who are still on the run. Their concerns are not farfetched, given that several inmates in the past had reportedly committed much heinous crimes even while in prison.
Some of the officers confirmed that Evans was no longer in the police cell in Lagos. “He has not been returned since he was moved out. Evans is a broken man; police can’t resort to extra-judicial killings at this point. He is cooperating, and he is ready to help return all his ill-gotten wealth as soon as possible”, one of the officers said.
Another reliable source at the police command told Saturday Sun “Evans is not an ordinary criminal. I guess that they took him out for further investigation but I don’t know why they are yet to return him to his cell.” The source further assured: “No one is planning to kill Evans. I believe that they will return him later. He could be in any good cell in the state for security reasons, but I can assure you that he is not dead yet. Even if anything happens to him, if he dies in custody, it will be as a result of cancer which he claims he is suffering from.”

who are the Igbos that prefer restructuring? did you guys consult with your people to know what they want? or was it the political igbos that sat and decided for the igbos? before making such statements, it should be a collective agreement of the majority of igbos.

Ohaneze have failed us over time. so, this matter should be deeply discussed. this is the only time we have to set things right. it shouldn't be a gathering of the few who by their actions have rendered Igbo land the way it is today...

why not give your own ultimatum for the Igbos to leave Yoruba land? you're supporting other region.....

VIPERVENOM:
All this their protest that yields no result. After sit at home protest, nothing happened. After #ourmumudondo protest they went back home and #theirmumucontinued

the sit at home wasn't a protest. please be informed.... It was a Biafran remembrance day. it had nothing to do with Nigeria.

greatiyk4u:
While the call itself is not wrong, the wrong persons are the one making the call



We need the call to come from prominent clean Nigerians like Emeka Enyioku, soyinka, Chimamanda, etc

when so called prominent clean Nigerians have gone dumb?
should we fold our arms while things go awry?

Mophasa:
Say no to jungle justice

It's high time the government speaks out against this dangerous menace

wetin govt wan talk?
as it is now, my friends living in Ikorodu sleep with fear all night.....
and you are not advising the government to tackle the problem..... when the people decide to protect themselves, you complain....


pray that these evil and wicked people don't visit you or your family, then you will know how it feels

NubiLove:
They are likely not going to get Biafra because their Senators, Governors, House of Representative members are not pushing it... they are even against it.

did they need the so called senators or governors to get to the point they are today?

they didn't need them to push before Nigeria started talking about restructuring.. .

and they still don't need them because those ones are only interested for their political interests.

All these shameless ...... shouting Igbos will suffer, are they not suffering already?


tomorrow, when APC is no more in power, this same man will come out and be shouting Igbos are being marginalised.....

greatiyk4u:
Enough of all these shit of crowd Kanu pulls.........among his cult of followers, who are the prominent members?


There is no honour in pulling a crowd of touts, illiterates and frustrated lazy greedy failures who are merely living in a fool's paradise

why do you guys think that only touts or illiterates are members of ipob?
"frustrated greedy failures"? most of them are more successful than your entire family lineage.
you don't insult people because their views are different from yours....
for your information, 95% of Igbos are in support of Biafra and the so called governors know that. they are only protecting their interests.

FisifunKododada:
When GEJ was President Kanu did not make noise about Biafra. Why was Kanu quiet during GEJ era but making noise everywhere now that Buhari is president? If Tinubu is a hypocrite then kanu is a CHIEF hypocrite and liar. Shikena

and who told he didn't? GEJ ignored him, but Buhari thought everything can be achieved with force.

please, someone should ask Ekweremadu, since they now realised that they are elders, are they not ashamed that they were there and the country degenerated to this messy level? are they as elders not ashamed that they could not afford the basic necessities of life to their people? are they not ashamed that as elders, they looted the money they should have used to develop their various states or communities?

Or, they expected the youths to continue in their ignorance whereby they give them peanuts to be their tugs and macenaries?

we don't want the elders to define our future for us anymore because they have failed this country, they have failed their villages.

unfortunately, that's the bitter truth.

Nigerian politicians don't care about the masses. they don't care about the good of the country. you hear them shout only when they are not getting anything or the government is not favouring them.

who are the leaders? who made them leaders? the very selfish, wicked politicians? they can only speak for themselves.... we the masses have chosen our path and we have the power.... the old have failed us, failed Nigeria.

laudate:
IPOB, una well done. Continue creating more enemies for yourselves and your cause, instead of building bridges across your homeland in order to win more support for your movement. Your name calling and insults will win you more supporters, according to Lesson 101 from NK's course on political studies.

what do you expect when the politicians are just concerned about themselves? do you call fact statements name calling? let Apga in Anambra under Obiano deny all that was said..... Igbo politicians are just worried because this movement is not within their control.

it was all planned. the name calling, the so called insulting other tribes was just to get the attention he needed and the Nigerian government fell for it.

I ask people, has he insulted any tribe since he came out from prison, No.

and the arrest has given him the opportunity of working on ground other than from radio Biafra.

will anyone say he didn't succeed? even if Biafra isn't achieved, but for the first time, the northerners are agreeing to restructuring which they initially opposed.

believe politicians at your own loss. they will say something and when attacked, they say they were quoted out of context or blame it on something else. wetin concern a national daily and social media? or is it because the social media helped in propagating the news to a wider audience? the same social media that have been helping to propagate the so "wonderous works" in Ebonyi state

For sometime now, I've been asking questions about the present constitution run by the Nigerian government.

isn't the constitution be an interim constitution that ushered in Democratic rule in Nigeria?

having read about the process of how constitutional documents are drafted, by who, the people's representatives, etc?

did 1999 constitution meet these requirements?

Is the constitution not illegal and why is it still in use after 18years of democratic rule?

donofdons:
mehn. God punish Jesu. Buxton university is fake. This man never finished at any university but claimed to be a phd holder and a seasoned intellectual. why can the courts investigate the other claims? God have finished nigeria

so na court work to go do investigation?

this is the "fakest" news i've read all my life. 90% of ndi anambra are the major proponents for the call of biafra.we know where tjis is coming from.

Marotzke:
A very key material exhibit was found on them. As far as the police are concerned, they are the real suspects.
Unfortunately, kidnapping and murder are not bailable.
They should just confess all they knew to the police.
They might get lucky and the real kidnappers would be caught.

the lady said her sister's husband gave her the phone. whats stops the police from going after the "sister's husband"?
nigerian police are always in a hurry to go to the press to show they are working. now, the sister's husband would have gone underground on hearing this news.

GEJ might have been a good or gentleman, but being a leader wasn't part of his qualities. as a leader, it doesn't mean you won't have ideas of what's happening around you. yes, you appointed people, gave them freedom to work, but then, you should still ask questions, scrutinize somethings. a good leader should have the will power to say NO, when its necessary. it dont shy away from it because you dont want to offend people.

in life, you cant please everyone. the northerners he was trying to please were the ones that hated him the most. the yorubas claimed they were marginalized in his govt, but they were still the ones who connived with the northerners to give the speakership position to Tambuwal.

from the zone, he came, what can the south south boast of? nothing. the little he could have done, which is the east-west road, he abandoned it and concentrated more on the northern part of the country?

being a good man or a gentleman and a good leader are not the same.

honourhim:
Yea dialogue is good but Nnamdi Kanu should also stop insulting other tribes and people. His followers should stop behaving like miscreants. Its not every Igbo that wants biafra.

when last did he insult you or your tribe?
He was only doing that to get the attention he's getting now and unfortunately, your government fell for it.
you're still in the past...
