The people of Benue have been disappointing to say the least. You let a bunch of primitive elements dictate how and where you should move in your own land, rape your women, and plunder your wealth. Never knew they are this lily-livered. The governor would rather play down the severity of the issue too than act appropriately so as not to piss the Fulani leadership of the Nigerian state. Smh.
somegirl1: Perhaps because Igbos are always threatened with war whenever secession is mentioned. Why has there never been a referendum which is the civilized way to move forward to throw out the **** cause. Nigeria is a contraption. We are from our respective groups before we are Nigerian.
Who decides the Igbo nation deserves a referendum, Kanu? I think not. These things can be achieved without a bullet or unnecessary belligerence. I'm an advocate of a dissolution of this entity forced together for economic & administrative convenience by the Brits. However, a united front by Igbo leaders i.e (Massob, Ministers, Governors, Legislators) is vital to the actualization of this cause. Now tell me how all your kith and kin benefiting from this current arrangement will let that happen? Like someone said, Yorubas are way ahead in terms of syncing their agitations in a unified manner. You guys should just go back to the drawing board, have your governors promote a legislation that will pave way for referendum possibly in 3 years. Then you can go federal with it. You lack organization in your clamor and frankly, nobody is forcing any tribe to stay in this entity because self-governing is easier to realize in a democracy.
If you pay attention to Saraki maneuverings, you'd know that he is one hell of a schemer. Hardly run out of gimmicks. Imagine recruiting Agabi as his counsel not necessarily because of his tact but perceived influence he has on the chairman & the prosecutor. Nothing would excite my soul more than seeing this gbewiri ex governor of mine and his theiving family rot behind bars.
Dude, I don't give a Bleep about Igbos and whatever transpired between them and the Oba. Didn't say Hausa/Fulani were evil based on this sole event but for the irrational belligerence they are known for nationwide. The Fulani herdsmen are slashing throats from East to the west to the middle belt. They are pulling the rest of the country back with their primitiveness.
Obiagelli: Can this governmemt be bold enough to ban the NURTW. Two day ago it was Oshodi, today its mile 12
Ignorant post. What is the correlation of NURTW with okadamen and the current unrest? Living in denial of calling a spade a spade, the Hausa/Fulani community the evil they are. Shout out to the Yoruba guys who stood up for the poor woman. These animals understand only violence to keep them in check.
I doubt the custodian will come out to claim this girl because he or she may have to also explain to the authorities why she was trafficked in the first place and not in school like her mates.
Shehucom: What happened to Ese Oruru is something that happens every other time in cities and villages of south south, young girls of secondary school age moving into men's house without their parents' consent. They don't tell them they are too young. The only thing they tell them is: "you can go to anywhere you want but no bring belle come my house" (lolz). If Ese Oruru was to be 'abducted' by one peter or James and taken for honeymoon in sambisa forest, we won't get public outrage. All you'll hear is, 'that is the power of love' and it only ends as another tale of two lovers who fell in love and nollywood will be there to release part one to five. And activists will be there to bark 'its her choice'. While we expect that she is returned to her parents soon, i hope our human rights activists will also be there to protect her choice and rights of being a muslim while she is in Bayelsa. I hope they will also voice for her when she is 18 and expresses her interest to return to her 'husband' in kano. @activists: always maintain balance in your quest for justice and fairness to all. @activists : stand up against evils happening within your immediate community and not always waiting to bark when 'outsiders' commit those evils against 'your own'. Charity begins at home. @journalists : be balanced in your reports and stop the hypocrisy ;even when you heard the audio recording of the girl, you kept reporting that she was kidnapped, abducted, forcefully converted and forcefully married off @general public : learn to be a JUDGE, every good judge will always listen to BOTH parties before taking a stance.
Can you believe the cow dung oozing out of this piece of trash's mouth? Understand the reasoning of the supposed literate ones among them and you will forever curse the memory of Lugard.
I thought I read a thread a while ago that her father (olumide bakari) is down with an ailment which he requires the help of Nigerians to meet up with financially. This one the daughter is doing it for Instagram here like it's all rosey out there seems somehow inappropriate but what do I know sha...
janellemonae: The show is not abt ciara. She's just for publicity. The last time was Kim kardashian, all she did was come out and start d show and then left.
Of course, I know that. All part of the show strategies to sell tics but the choice of Ciara is the ish. Can't drive the same level of interest a sex symbol like Kim did. Anyway, its their business whatever.
Note: he increased the minimum wage by 20%. No more free food in Freetown. Sustaining extreme socialist policies avoidably drains govt's coffers. The government should make sure its workers are well-paid. When you earn reasonably in a society, you'd be able to take care of your personal welfarism, and not overstretch that of the government.
Lacomus: Imagine me go marry girl were I meet for badoo, I don take my hand kill my self be that !
Dude I met the queen of my heart on that same badoo. No regret ever since. ...not disputing the fact that there are ho's on there but dude, there are ho's errwhere.
I'm not the type for conspiracy theories but this virus seem somehow engineered to achieve this very end. I mean these are nations with restrictive laws on anything they deem unbiblical. Western nations have been trying to have them modify those laws all these while (especially abortion) suddenly pops up Zika which is about putting those core beliefs into test. Nahhh...definitely fishy.
