BlackPantherxXx:
The ESN were just panting and shouting at each other.

They eventually shot ONE cow that they bought themselves

Was funny and pathetic to see

Actually their governors are paying 100k per cow shot.

That is why Abia IGR is depleting daily which resulted in bad road and erosion ravaged atmosphere.

Lamidi Kanu shoot one cow, Ikpeazu the drunkard pay 100k the next day.

Arijude:
where is your location in Benin republic?

Nyamuri I’m in Ebonyi IDP camp.

I’ve been here since 2019 fewenudi.

Nyamurri people don suffer.

While the Fulanis are dealing with them secretly they’ve been wailing about the SW.

LegendHero:
What’s with you Nyamuris and the word slaves and cowards?

Could this be as a result of the PTSD you guys suffered during the Biafran war?

Damn!

Redcrafton:
You live all your life in pigsty that's why you know exactly how it is there.

This is Abia state.

No part of your state is better than this.

Pain creatures everywhere.

This is a slum compared to Abeokuta below. See how the houses are like war torn Somalia. Even with the painting and editing, it still looks like a war torn Afghanistan.

I’ll rather live in a bungalow than live in the slum called Aba above.

Omo mad o.

Hoodlums on Monday night attacked the Fulani community in Eggua, Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State.

The hoodlums allegedly set ablaze the house of Seriki Fulani in the community, Alhaji Adamu Oloru, killing one person and scores of cows.

The attack was allegedly carried out around 8pm by the self acclaimed Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, who stormed the area.

The Seriki’s Son, Suleiman Adamu, who confirmed this to New Telegraph in an interview on Tuesday, said one Alhaji Jiji was burnt to death, while his father’s settlement was razed down in the attack where more than 40 cows were killed.

“Right now there is tension everywhere. We managed to get our father out of the place during the attacks,” Adamu said.
Adamu also confirmed that the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun had visited the place and sued for peace.

The State Chairman of Miyetti Allah, Abdulmumin Ibrahim also confirmed the development to New Telegraph, alleging that the attacks were carried out by Sunday Igboho himself.

“He (Igboho) was also at Oja – Odan but one good Samaritan called Dende did not allow him to set ablaze houses at Oja Odan. A formal complaint has been made at thr Eggua Police Station,” Ibrahim said.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state command, Abimbola Oyeyemi promised to get back to our correspondent.

I suspect Tinubu will eventually support Osinbajo/El-Rufai ticket.

They are not pushing Osinbajo currently because they need to shield him and unveil him at the time the opposition won’t be able to launch any barrage of attack on him to de-market him.

One thing I like Asiwaju for is that he can sacrifice a lot for his comrades and he is a great leader.

Let’s see how 2023 unfolds.

But only developers sell drugs..what has changed?

There is nothing the developers cannot do. They can hide their identity under a fake passport.

I don’t trust developers but this Oluwaseun fall hand shar, you can’t compete with the developers in this kind of trade because it is inbuilt in their genes.

DaddyRochie1642:
His name is Obinna Ezeoke

Please don’t say the name.

I beg you please delete this post, don’t be a tribalist!

Obinna why!

28-year-old Nigerian man, Obinna Ezeoke, was on Thursday jailed for 40 years in the United Kingdom over the murder of 53-year-old Annie Ekofo and her 21-year-old nephew, Bervil Ekofo, at their home in East Finchley in September 2016.

According to prosecutors, Ezeoke, said to be a drug dealer, crept into Ekofo's home just after dawn with intent to kill a target of gang revenge.

On hearing a noise in the house, Bervil, a student and nephew staying with Ekofo, went to investigate and was shot at close range.

Ekofo, who also went to investigate the noise was shot by Ezeoke, a court in the Old Bailey, London, heard.

Prosecution’s evidence included a CCTV footage of Obinna’s car to and from the scene, a gun case discovered under his bed and gunshot residue.

The car was discovered to have been bought and registered by Obinna using a fake name.

Obinna claimed the gunshot residue came from a different shooting when others had used the vehicle.

In a statement before the sentencing, Chantelle Mami, Bervil Ekofo's mother, said there were no words to describe how "traumatic" it was to have a child killed.

She said, “We grow to accept that death is a part of life and we should embrace it.

"However, no-one really prepares you for burying your child whose life was taken from them by another.

"I have no more words as my heart is heavy, I just hope that justice continues to be served."

Meanwhile Ezeoke’s father, Chiedozie Ezeoke, accused the UK authorities of not given his son a fair trial.

“It is with an absolute sense of trust in our country that I make this appeal to your commission. I am putting up this letter to request your urgent intervention on this matter. My son was tried five times which is unprecedented in English and Wales legal history.

"Justice William Davis allowed for the fifth trial, and differed reasons for that, until the conclusion of the trial, which was strange,” he said in a message sent to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission and the Ministry of Justice.

Osinbajo/El-Rufai is the neutralizer.

However this situation is dicey.

Obi is seen as an ethnic bigot in the North while El-Rufai is seen as a religious bigot in the south.

So that’s a neutralizer somehow.

Thank God Ibos are now growing balls to at least indicate interest to be the presidential candidate of the PDP.

Eyin Omo Igbo!

csn01:
Eli! Eli!! My God! My God!! Why have you forsaken him?
My Father my Father, why have you forsaken Anambra? the light of the nation?

Light of which nation.

Anambra state is now the darker most part of hell (Nigeria).

There was drama Thursday at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, COOU, Igbariam, Anambra State yesterday as gun-wielding security men from the institution’s anti-cultism outfit chased away lecturers of the institution, preventing them from holding a scheduled meeting.

The lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) recently dissociated themselves from the planned reopening of the institution by its management, a development that irked the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Greg Nwakoby.

ASUU in the institution, led by Prof Alphonsus Aniebo and the zonal coordinator of the group, in Owerri Zone, Dr Uzo Onyebinama had made to commence a meeting at the congress hall of the university, when gun-wielding security men from the institution’s anti-cult outfit stopped them, asking all members of the group to leave.

The group left the hall and converged under a mango tree in the institution, but were also stopped from meeting but they insisted.

The immediate past coordinator of ASUU, Owerri zone, Prof Ike Odumegwu who spoke to journalists said, “the security men said they were instructed by the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Greg Nwakoby not to let the group hold its meeting within the institution.

“We have never been treated this way before. How can the Vice-Chancellor send security men to stop us from meeting? They shut the door against us and asked everyone out of the hall as if we were common criminals.”

Prof Alphonsus Aniebo, chairman of ASUU in the institution said, “I have been queried because of this strike and this is geared towards terminating my appointment in this university

“It is very unfortunate. This union made a lot of sacrifices, we have been key to the struggles here. We will not be intimidated. In this university, there is no budget monitoring fund. TETFUND and NEEDS are products of ASUU struggles, but the VC is bent on killing the university because he has just three years to leave.

“The university wants us to break a national strike, but we have said we will not. We will keep following the national body of ASUU because every achievement he has here has been as a result of ASUU struggle,” he said.

Chairman of the Owerri zone of ASUU, Dr Uzo Onyebinama condemned the action of the Vice-Chancellor, refuting claims that the lecturers had no reason to go on strikes because they are not captured in the controversial IPPIS payment model.

“Let me tell you, our struggle has been on, for a number of reasons before the Federal Government brought in IPPIS. For the vice-chancellor to claim that IPPIS is the sole reason for the strike shows that he is not well informed.”

Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof Greg Nwakoby had days back stated that academic activities will continue in the institution. He stated that out of over 600 lecturers in the university, only a few were embarking on the strike.

The police in Anambra state have arrested two brothers, Chigozie Simon 21, and Onywka Simon, 22, for armed robbery.

A statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, Haruna Mohammed today September 23, said the suspects are brothers from the same parents as well as undergraduates at Paul University and UNN.

Mohammed said the suspects allegedly entered a jewelry shop forcefully at Tempsite Awka, tied the sales girl up and covered her mouth with sellotape.

He added that the suspects also threatened to stab the sales girl on her neck if she screams and thereafter carted away with 33 wristwatches and 14 necklaces worth over N300,000 and a cash sum of N37,000.

He also said that as the suspects were escaping, the salesgirl loosened the tape on her mouth and raised an alarm, which led to the arrest of the suspects after a hot chase.

The stolen jewellery and cash were recovered from the suspects and a wrap of dried leaves suspected to be Cannabis Sativa following a search at their residence.

Mohammed said the suspects voluntarily confessed to the crime and investigation is ongoing after which they would be brought to book.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have moved up from the 31st to 29th position in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings released on Thursday by the world football governing body.

This is the first time in seven years that the country’s national team has made it this high on the monthly rankings. Nigeria was last ranked among the top 30 best football countries in May 2013.

It’s over six months since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted international matches before it fully returned earlier this month.

With the new ranking, the Super Eagles now ranks third in Africa behind Senegal who is ranked 20th in the world and Tunisia who is ranked 26th in the world. Algeria and Morocco also made Africa’s top five.

Ghana, Egypt, Cameroon, Mali, and Congo DR were ranked among Africa top 10.

Meanwhile, the 54 UEFA Nations League games that took place across Europe at the beginning of September had an immediate impact on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, which had remained unchanged since April 9.

While there has been no movement among the leading quartet in descending order: Belgium, France, Brazil, and England – Portugal (5th, up 2) have moved into the top five thanks to victories over Croatia (8th, down 2) and Sweden (18th, down 1).

Other countries moving in the right direction are Spain (7th, up 1), Italy (12th, up 1), the Netherlands (13th, up 1), and Germany (14th, up 1), with each gaining one place in the global classification. Wales (21st, up 2) climbed two rungs but remain just outside the top 20.

Russia, hosts of the last FIFA World Cup, are further back in 32nd but had the biggest gain in this edition this, ascending six places courtesy of wins over Serbia (31st, down 2) and Hungary (52nd, unchanged).

Despite not playing, Iran (30th, up 3) moved into the top 30 after Serbia and Turkey (32nd, down 3) dropped points.

Nigeria will play Cote d’Ivoire and Tunisia in friendly matches in Austria in October and the results are expected to have bearings when the next rankings are released.

Nice one!

GallantDuke:
Why are you bragging with the FCT? Is Abuja a state? I believe that the climax of ignorance is comparing Enugu with Niger state. Apart from Kano city mention any other developed part of Kano state. Even Kano city despite being the state capital is not developed more than Onitsha city?

What is in Onitsha? Kano city is more developed than Onitsha with better infrastructures.

Racoon:
An average Easterner is very enterprising whether good or bad & hate being dependant on others for survival especially economic wise.Hence this is what is often responsible for the never say die resilient spirit that drives the Igbo man to the uttermost end of the world.Broaden your horizon too man.

And the other Nigerian tribe are lazy and like being dependent on other economic wise or how does this answer the question about why Ibos are economic refugees all around the country? Can you listen to the gabbage you are saying?

You said Hausa are economic refugees, they said but Igbos are also economic refugees too, and you turn out to claim its because they hate being dependent. So why not give the Hausa the same excuse when you know you are guilty of what you accused them of.

Igbochief001:
As long as igbos are kept away from leadership position in Nigeria ...we would continue to struggle as a nation ...that's a fact

You guys and your rubbish hype. So because she was appointed now means the Igbos is the only solution to Nigeria struggle? What have you achieved with your SE region? Are your governors and legislative members the best in the country?

There are the likes of Modupeola Abiola who is the Head of Global Innovation for International Airline Group (The owners of British Airways), but you won't see her tribe shouting daily about that or claiming without them Nigeria is nothing.

Racoon:
So you hero-El Rufai lied hence should shut up? So why are the northern you fleeing the region southward to seek refuge & economic survival instead of staying put in the developed region bro?

Why are the Eastern guys fleeing their region both westward and Northward too to seek refuge and economic survival?

Can't you Yeasterners sit down in your region and develop it too instead of roaming about the country like refugees?

Remember, he who lives in a glasshouse should not throw stone!

Racoon:
So sad a development but have the story changed for those who ruled or held this nation to ransome since then? Let our national history speak for us.

The people ruling are victim of the system and no matter who rules Nigeria, with this current structure, they will fail.
