Barau Garba allegedly raped the little girl till her privates ruptured.That man is very wicked. I am not surprise, this is wat they do in their islamic north. He actually gave the girl a big wound in her privates that will require stitching. |

Cupboards have been emptied onto floors, walls and windows are pitted with what appear to be bullet holes. A statue of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a Nigerian separatist group, is missing a hand and an arm. Mr Kanu’s family compound in Umuahia, the sleepy capital of Abia state in south-eastern Nigeria, was raided by soldiers on September 14th. His brother, Emmanuel, claims 28 people were killed and says he has not heard from Mr Kanu since. The army denies the raid even happened. Meanwhile Mr Kanu, who was charged with conspiracy to commit treason two years ago, failed to attend a bail hearing on October 17th. His disappearance illustrates how the unhealed wounds of Nigeria’s brutal civil war have been reopened in recent years. That conflict, which was fought between the breakaway Republic of Biafra and the Nigerian state, resulted in the loss of almost a million lives between 1966 and 1970. Separatist sentiment, which lay largely dormant since then, has started to simmer again, as people with no memory of the war have come of age and been seduced by the idea that the region is not getting its fair share of spending. Helping to fuel that anger is Radio Biafra (named after the original republic’s station), which was relaunched by Mr Kanu and has pumped propaganda to Nigeria from its London base since 2012. Yet separatism has also been fuelled by the deadly response of the Nigerian army to even the slightest hint of resurgent nationalism among the Igbo, one of the country’s three main ethnic groups, who live predominantly in the south-east and formed the core of Biafran separatism. The army has shot and killed protesting IPOB supporters on several occasions. It is not clear how many supporters IPOB has, but Mr Kanu attracted huge crowds to his family residence after his release on bail in April (despite the bail conditions stipulating he should not hold rallies or be seen in a crowd of over ten people). The government has resorted to an even firmer hand. In August Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president and a stern former military dictator, said that “Nigeria’s unity is settled and not negotiable.” In September the government sent in the army on “Operation Python Dance II”, which sought to tackle “violent agitations by secessionist groups, among other crimes”. One of its first acts was to attack an office in Abia belonging to the Nigerian Union of Journalists and to smash reporters’ equipment. The government also declared IPOB a terrorist organisation. The group says it is not violent. The government’s response may, however, be feeding the resentment that first led to an upsurge of support for IPOB among Nigeria’s Igbo. “It was as if the approach of the government labelled every Igbo man a member of IPOB,” says Sam Hart, an adviser to Abia’s governor (who is from the main opposition party). The perception of the army as a northern institution, and the fact Mr Buhari is from the north (there has not been an Igbo head of state since the military government of Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi in 1966), has compounded many Igbos’ feelings of alienation. Many also refer to comments made by Mr Buhari in 2015, when he said that constituencies that gave him 5% of the vote (mainly those in the south-east) cannot expect the same treatment as those that gave him 97%. The army may have cut off the head of the Biafran separatist snake for now. But until Nigeria cleans up its public finances so that its various ethnic groups can see how much money it raises, and where it is spent, resentments will simmer and the appeal of Biafra will remain. |
Not even Mandela or Thabo Mbeki, it is Zuma. Them say good dont get attention and am starting to believe it is true. |
E get on of our brothers like this dat commited crime. The detective handling his case not only traced him back to his village all the way from UK, but the day dey went to arrest him, come and see the Oyinbo was using Yoruba to tell him his entire life history. Linus went to pick fight thinking his big empty head and size means anything. He definitely bit more than he can chew. The lawyer did not expose 1% of his findings becos that is reserved for the courts. |
That lawyer will tell Linus Idahosa about his family history and his origins if he dare meets him in court. In dat interview, he clearly was just laughing at Linus Idahosa. Lawyers are not stupid to reveal their findings. They are naturally secretive. |
I dont see the point Linus Idahosa was trying to make with this interview to be honest. Mind u the lawyer did not expose 1% of his findings becos that is reserved for the courts. Linus Idahosa appeared very confused and disorientated. At some point he looked as if he was trying to use his size to intimidate the smaller frame Ex Attorney General of the USA. |
fratermathy:Wat do u mean? |
Misplaced priority is the number one problem with this country. Ambode seem more interested in girls than gov work. He spends more time at quilox club than he does in the office. |
Buhari is a tremendous, stupendous, prodigious, phenomenal Bigot 1 of Northern Nigeria. |
i can say the thing Ambode did is good, that is not y we elected him, to be chasing igbo. |
KidsNEXTdoor:pity dem no come get oil for North. |
Beautiful couple. congrats |
zombie believe anything. |
FreeGlobe:Ngige na ur towns man? |
Who dey fear big mouth Trump? ![]() |
Beremx:or maybe na she dey dump dem. marriage is boring not everybody is crazy about it, besides it is better to stay single than suffer divorce. not everybody like to rush in and rush out. |
cococandy:is he yoruba? |
yomi007k:i dont think so, if people that live nextdoor are rare, wat will u say about intercontinental? Besides na only one tribe dey special and rare in the whole nigeria of 200 tribes? Sorry to say but linguistic or tribal difference does not make the pillars of relationship stronger. that reason sounds too tribalistic, y not marry hausa and comeback with dat theory. |
Yet another sellout, it needs to be studied to understand y so many omoluabi feel the need to cross the niger once they become rich and famous, since their fathers never did that. Freeze said for a yoruba man to be successful in life, he needs an igbo woman. So yoruba women are for suffer, baby mama and never do well. Let us keep observing. |
The reports on this specific man did not start today but the authorities chose to turn a blind eye. now a poor girl have died.
