Lol 😂

The deranged man will be so sad now looking at the fact that his fellow Obidenseeeee wey he think say he dey fight for don dey deny him one by one.

Obidenseee never take responsibility for their action. What is the difference between those Obi supporters protesting in Abuja saying Tinubu must not be sworn in and this man protesting alone in the plane?

Did Tinubu sent those protesting in Abuja too?

You compare Amotekun to Ebube agu.

Then compare ESN to Boko Haram.

Amotekun is not a terrorist organization. Please take note.

Reinaldo:
APC will be pushing out a lot of propaganda. Always remember that they're liars and their party is filled with hardened criminals.

Lol 😂

You guys never take responsibility for your actions.

So na APC plant Agbero for Onitsha for propaganda? Chai, e no go better for anyone wey do you Obidenssseee like this.

The activities of illegal revenue collectors in the South-East have worsened the economic conditions of residents, business owners, motorists and commuters in the region.

Despite efforts and interventions by security agents, the hoodlums, aka ndi agbero, are growing in notoriety, particularly in Onitsha, Anambra State.

Onitsha has been tagged the operational headquarters of the gang because the city serves as the gateway to other states in the region.



It is also home to the Onitsha Main Market which is regarded as one of the largest markets in West Africa due to its size and volume of business transactions.

The market reportedly contributes a huge percentage to the revenue of the state and the entire South-East.

Because of the market, a large number of trucks come into Onitsha daily, increasing the number of ndi agbero in the city.

Here, it is not only commercial transport operators that suffer in the hands of the hoodlums, traders and pedestrians are not spared.

The effect of their activities is also felt on the movement of goods and services as it negatively impact on businesses, particularly small-scale enterprises.

20 illegal levies

The issue of ndi agbero has continued to be a cause for concern among residents.

The state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, identified it as a top priority of his government on his resumption of office in March 2022, when he banned their activities and suspended all revenue collections in the state.

The ban was greeted with joy and excitement and gave respite to residents.

But the excitement was short-lived, as the louts returned a few months after, more hardened and monstrous.

It is believed that those behind the louts are powerful individuals and politicians.

Findings by our reporter show that the illegal revenue collectors –mostly made up of political thugs — operate alongside state-licensed revenue collection agents.

They force commercial drivers, motorists, as well as traders, to pay at least 20 different levies.

Some of the receipts issued after such payments include, “Park and Pay”, “Daily Motor Ticket”, “Daily Tolls Ticket”, “Morning Levy”, “Afternoon Levy”, “Evening Levy”, “Cargo Ticket”, among others.

Failure to settle these rates attracts assaults in different forms.

The lorry and truck drivers entering the South-East from the Upper Iweka part of Onitsha, are always the worst hit, as their windscreens and side mirrors are often smashed by the hoodlums, who swooped on them, demanding various payments.

The Publicity Secretary, Lorry Drivers Association of Nigeria, South-East chapter, Chief Chimezie Ugoh, said the operation of ndi agbero in Onitsha was as old as the city itself.

“It is a pity that it has continued to defy every solution by successive administrations. It is a challenge that is causing agony, tears, sorrow and blood to us as we convey goods to various locations.

“We move our trucks all the way from other places with less molestation from the agberos, but the moment we cross the Onitsha Bridge into Upper Iweka, it is a different ball game.

“We always spend between N5,000 and N7,000 coming from other states, but the moment we cross the bridge, what they slam us in Onitsha alone is as much as between N30,000 and N40,000.

“These miscreants always wear different uniforms, demanding various levies, which we must pay daily. All the levies have suddenly been increased. The cargo levy that we used to pay N5,000 before was suddenly increased to N25,000 towards the end of last year. They also follow us to the place where the goods will be offloaded and collect ‘offloading’ levy. What we pay at the end of the day becomes much and this definitely increases the prices of goods.

“We have carried out various protests to draw the attention of the government to our plight, but no impact has been made and we have been left in this agony. When the government banned their activities some months back, it was a relief for us. But today, they are back in full force and venom, unleashing terror on road users. This is pathetic,” he added.

‘Our city ceded to agberos’

The Upper Iweka axis of Onitsha is a very strategic point which connects the Onitsha-Owerri Road to other South-East states.

The axis is also a major concentration point of the louts because of the large volume of containerised vehicles plying the road.

The hoodlums sometimes outnumber road users, as they pursue vehicles with long sticks.

Daily, drivers battle these miscreants, who operate without any challenge from law enforcement agents.

Narrating his ordeal, a traveller, Mr Chukwudi Onu, said, “Today, at Upper Iweka, Onitsha, I witnessed the worst of civilians; our city has been ceded to ndi agberos and we have to take it back from them.”

Onu, an Onitsha indigene, said he was coming from Lagos in his Toyota Sienna which contained a computer and a small printer.

He said as soon as he got to a bad portion of the Upper Iweka axis of the Onitsha-Owerri Road, where he had to slow down, four louts jumped out and surrounded his vehicle, shouting, “Give us our money.”

The motorist said he was taken aback by the demand and was shocked when two of the hoodlums broke his two side mirrors, while two others threatened to smash his windscreen.

Onu said, “When I asked them the reason I should pay them since I was not driving a commercial vehicle, they told me I was carrying some items at the back seat and I must pay N4,000 for the load. It became a tug of war as I was forced to part with N4,000 for them not to inflict further damage on my car.

“I have never heard anywhere that people pay for items on the backseat of their vehicle. If Soludo can just rid this city of louts, he will get a lot of accolades because their activities are destroying the means of livelihood of other people.”

Another victim, Cosmos Okafor, said he was travelling with members of his family from Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, in his shuttle bus when he was attacked.

“On getting to Onitsha, these guys hijacked the vehicle in a commando style because of what they called the absence of ‘emblem’. They took us inside their office at Tarzan, near Upper Iweka Road. There, we saw men in their late 60s and 70s as their ogas, who told us that we would pay them N35,000 for not having ‘emblem’.

“I told them it was a private vehicle, but all our pleas fell on deaf ears and begging them was like trying to squeeze water out of a stone. In fact, my matter was made worse when I tried to remind them about the ban on their activities by the governor.

“We spent over two hours negotiating. It took phone calls to people that mattered for them to come down to N20,000. I also paid N1,000 for a gate fee,” he added.

Okafor lamented that the situation in Onitsha had reached a level where the miscreants had become first-class citizens, while other residents were tagged, second-class citizens.

A member of the National Youth Service Corps, Janet Ufodi, while narrating her ordeal in the hands of the hoodlums, said she was waiting for a commercial bus to carry her at Upper Iweka when she was accosted by two louts.

“They demanded I pay them for the luggage I carried, threatening to seize it.

“I was surprised that nobody came to my rescue as everybody was just watching as they were almost violently attacking me. At the end of the day, I parted with N2,000,” she added.

SO FAST AND SWIFT....
IT IS THIS SELECTIVE ARREST OF ONLY OPPOSITION THAT LEAD TO CRISIS

Maybe when Fulani person living in Igbo land says he will invite Boko Haram terrorists to come and protect them, just maybe your governors will sit and fold their hands.

IPOB are terrorists according to Nigeria law, why will he come out openly to invite terrorists?

Felabrity:
Send him to jail

Also get him interviewed to explain who sent him

They should also arrest MC Oluomo though

Why should Oluomo be arrested? He has since came out to say he’s referring to her Igbo friend and they did video together.

Just same thing Nwanyawu did by saying he referred to a certain section of the Yoruba and not all Yorubas.

So MC is also talking to his Igbo friend and not all Igbo.

Lol 😂 .

These guys are now running mad. How can people who came third be this crazy about being the first?

Urheadmaster:
Actually, most of the market places that has been catching fire is Igbo dominated areas in Lagos state.

All this started after MC olumo threatened the Igbo people's lives in Lagos state.

Stop saying nonsense. There are lot of times Balogun market has burnt within the past year.

Are you saying Balogun market is Igbo dominated?

This is not even Lagos alone, you have markets burning across Nigeria and the biggest in Borno few weeks ago.

IPOB terrorists propaganda is now in full drive.

They are trying to outdo Ojukwu propaganda method.

SLAP44:


Arsonist.

You can call me all you like but you people should desist from IPOB made propaganda.

Balogun market was never and is never an Igbo dominated market. It is a fully dominated Yoruba market and most of the stalls burnt few days ago are fully Yoruba people.

Most of the stalls are also insured so people will always get at least some form of capital to bounce back.

Balogun market is a Yoruba dominated market and most of the stalls burnt few days ago are owned by Yoruba people.

You guys and your nonsense propaganda can only work on people like your breed.

Jagaban!!

The President elect Bola Tinubu is in Umarah today and below is the video of Nigerians snapping with him.

If this succeeds, Soludo should be declared governor for life.

But we will wait for action on this first before congratulating Soludo on this feat.

It’s really sad that Obiidiots can drag the CJN to their nonsense propaganda as deployed by that fake news peddler Gazette news.

Racoon:
Wetin happened to his wheelchair stunt in London?

In all airports around the world, you can request for that to take you around the airport and old people usually make use of that sometimes if their strength can’t allow them walk normally.

He travelled some few weeks ago but he’s been back in Nigeria for the past 5days as confirmed by one of the judges in Ibadan.

He did not disguise when he left Nigeria because if he disguised, he would have use some kinda face mask or move discreetly in the night or use private jet or etc.

It’s only Obiidiots that can pull that kind of nonsense fake news.

CJN seated in the central mosque today.

President elect Tinubu need to do something about social media fake news. The National Assembly must create a bill that will curtail all this nonsense because people just say stuffs without repercussions.

Below is the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Kayode Ariwoola leaving the Supreme Court for the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque, Abuja, to observe his prayers today.

Remember some fake news peddlers like Gazette said he is currently in London to have a meeting with president-elect Tinubu but the CJN has been in Nigeria for the past few days.

God what is happening.

These developers have destroyed the world.

This foolish Hundeyin himself is the carrier of fake news and most of the Obiidiots learn it from him.

So why is he trying to correct them now?

I’m sure this fake news of him disguising tomeet Tinubu will make the CJN scared of Obiidiots and suddenly rule in favor of the Peter Obi.

Below is the list of elected governors in the South East. This include those newly elected and the pre-existing governors.

APC now control 2 states and hold the majority.

—Imo - APC

—Ebonyi - APC

—Abia - LP

—Enugu - PDP

—Anambra - APGA

Lol 😂

Writing petition about Oro.

They no born Lagos police well to stop the Oro festival. Who born them?

DGOODLYF:
I dont why a lot of Apc urchins refused to use their sense....So you guyz believe Obi will use a well to do OBIDIENTS whos got a fine pics with Lp logo behind her for propaganda?....we deserve our rulers sha...shioor

That’s because Obi thinks everyone is a fool like Obiidiots.

That’s why he doesn’t think before lying.

aariwa:
So she doesn’t have right to join labor party because Obi helped her? Agbado filled useless brain

She was a member of labor party long time before Obi the lair started crying.

It’s just like Tinubu should now start crying while relating the story of how an APC member is saying she dosenr have money to buy oven. Same party same people.

Felabrity:
are you new in Nigeria?

There are people that finished university 10 years ago but still jobless

And moreover you don't expect her to be wearing rags because she is not well to do.

Anyway I don hear your story and that of Peter Obi own, make I hear the girl story

Felabrity:

Atleast he helped her get something

She completed her NYSC as far back as 2019.
