jmoore: I guess the US doesn't know about the thousands of 'repentant terrorists' that have been released.
No, let them be pardoned and colored into the army. They established operation save have, stated the useless rehabilitation, reintegration shit, syphoned billions under this. Now they are waking from sleep. They said no, terrorists is more tactical. These guys are fathers to some children whose mothers were captures. No many of these guys were conscripted against the wish, no, they contribute veritable information that is helping the army to go against their commanders.
I countered this in several fora and was tagged annti north

dododawa1: The Federal Government has described the coronation and activities of Eze Ndigbo “Igbo Kings” in foreign countries as embarrassing.
Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, against the backdrop of the Imeobi meeting, the highest decision-making body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in Enugu.
The minister in the statement issued by Dr Magnus Eze, Special Assistant on Communication and New Media, Office of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, described the situation as an embarrassment.
According to her, it has become a big embarrassment to the government, Ndigbo, Nigerians and other foreigners in those countries, where they have Eze Ndigbo.
“This is as the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in collaboration with the South East Council of Traditional Rulers abolished the concept of Eze Igbo outside Igboland”.
She narrated that Igbo associations in diaspora usually stage cultural activities to promote their heritage, but unfortunately, the enthronement of traditional rulership by some of these Igbo groups has severely caused friction.
This, according to her, is not just among the Igbo communities themselves, but also between the Igbo and their host communities.
The minister stated that people could still express themselves culturally without causing nuisance to the indigenous people of the host country and others.
She recounted that recently, violent protests erupted in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, following the controversial coronation of a Nigerian Igbo leader, Solomon Eziko, as “Eze Ndigbo na East London” Igbo King in East London.African economy outlook
Also the event sparked an outcry from local residents, traditional leaders, and political parties, leading to violence, the torching of foreign-owned vehicles, and looting.
“On March 14, 2026, Eziko was crowned as a traditional leader in KuGompo City, East London, a move interpreted by South Africans as an unlawful challenge to local sovereignty and traditional leadership structures.
“Protests began on March 30, with demonstrations organised by groups including ActionSA, which quickly escalated into violence. The protesters targeted foreign-owned businesses and vehicles, with reports of no fewer than 13 vehicles being destroyed.
“At least one stabbing incident was reported, and police had to use stun grenades and tear gas to restore order.
“The Eastern Cape House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders condemned the coronation as flagrant violation of customary protocols.
Also, the South African government’s Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs declared the installation illegal and in violation of the constitution,” she said.
She revealed that the ministry deployed diplomatic channels in tackling the situation, adding that the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa distanced itself from the coronation, acknowledging it was a cultural event misinterpreted and not formal, recognised monarchy.African economy outlook
She also said the Nigerian Embassy in Pretoria officially apologised for the confusion and crisis, urging Nigerians in South Africa to maintain a low profile and avoid further confrontations.
The minister said the Deputy High Commissioner, Olajide Ogunmadeji, had addressed some protesters saying the situation was misinterpreted, as the coronation was only ceremonial, rather than the installation of traditional authority that defied the existing system.
She recalled a similar incident that occurred in Ghana in July, 2025 because of the Eze Ndigbo issue, while addressing the Ohanaeze Imeobi/General Assembly.
She disclosed leading delegation to Accra to douse the tension, as Ghanaian protesters demanded Nigerians must leave, saying aggrieved Ghanaians issued compatriots quit notice, insisting Nigerians must go.
The minister urged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to prescribe sanctions for any persons flouting its directive abolishing Igbo traditional rulership outside Igboland.
She quoted the President_General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Sen. Azuta Mbata, to have presented the decision of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, saying they have adopted the position of the traditional rulers abolishing the Eze Ndigbo title in diaspora.
“Anybody who is being awarded that type of title anywhere outside of Igbo land is on his own.
It is unknown to the Igbo people and we will call upon all state governors, we will correspond to all embassies in the world informing them about the position of Ndigbo.
“The position of Eze Ndigbo anywhere outside Igbo land is hereby alienated and proscribed. That is the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide.
“We will determine in consultation with the kings of Igbo land what the punishment will be for anybody who goes against this position and that punishment will be implemented at the village level.
Your hometown, your town union will be under injunction to implement that punishment but we are going to declare that punishment after due consultation.”
She further assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would help disseminate the Ohanaeze communique on the issue through its Missions and High Commissions. (NAN)

Madam tell your boss that insecurity is the major problem, not chiaftaincy and not even drugs. A red neck in the Nigerian Army was down last night.
The boko Haram ragtags have been intractable,, yet everyday Igbos are demonised for this and that crime including daily drug vilification of Igbos on Nairaland.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyF1W7lk10E In this viral interview just days after their wedding, Mrs Aboy Chibuzor sits beside her much younger husband Aboy Chibuzor (the autistic young man adopted by Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere of Omega Power Ministries) and makes one thing crystal clear:
She did NOT marry him for money or the ₦10 million offer.
"It was God's will... He sent me and I have fulfilled it," she declares, insisting the marriage is pure divine instruction.
Meanwhile, Aboy sits quietly, looking completely disengaged, lost, and — as many online are saying — like he has "lost his spark" and is no longer happy.
This controversial OPM marriage has sparked massive debate across Nigeria: Is it God's plan or exploitation? Care or abuse?
Watch the full raw clip and decide for yourself Drop your thoughts in the comments: Was it really God... or something else? Should Aboy have been married off?
This gra gra na because he attempted to explain. If he kept quiet, them for no get any luver.
Tell Daniel Bwala to apologise to the whole Nigerians for the show of shame. Tell Tinubu to resign or sack his minister of power to so do, for fake promises especially on electricity.
Tye unprossinalism and stark disregard to basic ethics of communication in this tirade named interview fumes!
The topic should rather be "why peter Obi May Never be..." instead of "will never be...".
It is only in Nigeria that people in authority make stupid statements and stand by it.
Anyways, I am not surprised. In saner climes, people like Bwala will still be hiding their heads in shame after resignation from a responsible government. It's a pity.
Good to see how parents are now interested in their children's things these days.
Our time, you fit chop slap if you tell your parents about this kain carnival even if na teacher send you. You be mumu ni? You no fit tell teacher say money no dey.
It made us stein sha. I'm the next governor of my state
People that lack basic morals raise their heads so high and are applauded and rewarded because for political gains despite their shameless dispositions.
Wait is this government not thinking? Why post this man to Germany as an ambassador. Germany, a major player in the global scheme of things. A reasonable country would rather send an idiologically neutral personality, not any politically exposed person in it's entirety.
Posting someone like Buratai to Benin Republic and Reno to Mexico is manageable, but not FFK to Germany.
What policies will he project when they already have his cooked dossier, at least a click away from Google.
What a waste of a country! It is rather unfortunate.
“I Dare You to Discontinue the Case” — VeryDarkMan Fires Back at Omoyele Sowore Over BLord Detention
Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan has issued a strong warning to human rights activist Omoyele Sowore over his pledge to secure the release of businessman BLord, who is reportedly being held at the Kuje Correctional Centre.

Reacting publicly, VDM challenged Sowore’s involvement in the case, questioning his authority and warning him against interfering.
In his response, VeryDarkMan outlined a series of allegations against BLord, claiming the businessman used his identity without consent for promotional purposes.
According to VDM, the issue began in January when BLord allegedly used his image to advertise business ventures without approval.
He further claimed that BLord falsely presented him as an ambassador for certain services, including travel-related promotions, and circulated misleading content suggesting a business relationship between them.
VDM also alleged that fabricated materials, including a purported payment claim running into hundreds of millions of naira, were used to convince the public of a non-existent endorsement deal.
