There's silent unrest and killing/cannibalization of Ijaws going on in Eastern Obolo ditto boundary remapping of the immediate past Governor Udoms administration.
The unrest is linked to the crude oil and gas exploration and exploitation going on in Eastern Obolo.
Ijaws of Andoni Rivers state, are laying claims to Eastern Obolo because of few Ijaws that has been living there for decades and ordinarily acculturated there.
Akwa ibomites has been excercising restrain, but it seems few Ijaw elements within the L. G. A, are trying to make it Ijaw vs Akwa ibom ethnic war, thereby inviting Ijaws across other states majorly Bayelsa and Rivers.
There has been unreported killings and intimidation of Akwa ibomites, which has resulted to reprisal attack by Akwa ibomites on Ijaws, to the point of charring and cannibalizing their dead bodies.
Beremx: Another potential terrorist being trained by Tinubu.
Asari Dokubo and his gang should be sent to Niger Republic to fight for Nigeria since they're part of the 50million youths
Berem,
The first sentence of your post is quite an irresponsible post. Get your facts right and do NOT make highly defamatory comments here.
President Tinubu and Asari Dokubo have known one another since the 1990s during the pro-democracy struggles and the fight against Military dictatorship in Nigeria. Senator Shehu Sani, Olisa Agbakoba, Ken Saro-Wiwa and more were jailed, brutalized, and killed in the 1990s because of their fight for the democracy that many of you are enjoying as of today.
This is absolute nonsense! The options of N150,000 in lieu of the 3 year jail terms is unacceptable. Cyberstalking is a major crime that requires stronger laws and the will power to minimize the evil.
sukkot: Chief it is indeed a miracle . A carnage of this magnitude and in such a densely populated area and no lives list. The gods are sending a message. Is someone about to fall from heaven down to earth ?
Did you get to see the CCTV footage of the light plane crash Sukkot? Nobody saw this coming tbh.
It was surreal. The plane just dropped from the air like a banana peel and the two pilots still survived. The cosmic dimensions to this are immense.
raskymonojendor: This subsidy removal thing is creating some new ideas and inventions. That's why it's not good to be comfortable in mediocrity. The cheap oil really spoilt us in Nigeria that we stopped thinking. The Indians are pushing ahead because necessity is the mother of inventions.
Absolutely! Necessity is the mother of inventions.
ebukajay184: Former Lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has listed thirteen reasons, Nigerians should not support the invasion of Niger Republic, IGBERETV reports.
Recall that the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS led by Nigeria's President Tinubu, on Sunday, issued a seven-day ultimatum to the military in Niger Republic to restore President Muhammed Bazoum to office, after the Commander of the country’s Presidential Guards, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, had on Friday, declared himself the Head of a Transitional Government.
That's okay... The conversion of more vehicles to use the CNG dual purpose function would be a giant leap for reducing transportation for cargo and people at the gas cost of N100 per Kg of CNG. Hence the cost of goods sold in stores and markets in Nigeria would drastically crash within two months if implemented to the letter.
Good times are ahead in 2023 for folks in Nigeria.
Indeed! Yesterday at 3:50PM Nigerian time was a major miracle of sorts for Ikeja, Lagos State, and folks of Nigerian descent worldwide.
The CCTV footage of the fiery plane crash in the rain gives one more reason to be grateful in life for what you have while forging ahead to be a better person and move to the next level in the grand scheme of things.
Looking forward to the Aviation Investigative Bureau to unravel what led to that dangerous plane crash that had no casualties.
The CCTV video footage of the fiery light aircraft crash along Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos is very accurate. I got goose bumps when I saw the CCTV footage. It is indeed a miracle that the moving cars, the Mr. Biggs which is located in the fuel station and UBA weren't hit as of 3:50PM Nigerian time yesterday.
Glad the two pilots made it out too!
This fiery plane crash in the heavy Lagos rain is hereby named by me as the "Miracle of Oba Akran Avenue."
The miraculous January 2009 U.S. Airways plane crash-landing with 155 souls onboard on the icy Hudson River in New York also remains one of the most memorable events in the history of aviation for me.
newsheadlines: Contrary to earlier report that the helicopter Crash into a building, the aircraft actually crash on Oba Akran road, Infront of UBA on Obasa juction. Watch video from the location.
That's not a helicopter crash. It is a light aircraft, so, change your NL headline.
The CCTV footage of the dramatic plane crash at 3:50 PM Nigerian time at Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos is very accurate. I'm glad it didn't hit the cars and the fuel station, where Mr. Biggs is also located. This is one more thing to be greatful for about the miracle surrounding the survival of the two pilots onboard.
sonssyo: Ibo and stealing been mentioned everywhere, I don't even know how lord Lugard joined everybody together. Well truth be told, 90% of all these people shouting stealing, stealing Ibo this and that have all stolen at a time or the other. If you take your friends phone and make call without telling him or her, It's stealing! if you once lived in boarding school and collected another persons water (tapping) it's stealing! and the circle continues, I'm not trying to encourage what the man did but instead, an investigation need to be carried out to know why he did that, if you have never committed sin, throw this man a stone!!! PROUDLY IBO
You just wrote a whole LOT of B.S. here and justified stealing because the thief is Ibo. Imagine that! Someone got his money stolen onboard a plane and AirPeace wave been blamed for creating a lax security onboard their plane.
This is the same thing your ethnic folks did while relentless defending that 19-year-old girl last month who lied about having the highest score in JAMB and proceeded to defame the boss of JAMB despite the digital trail of very clear evidence that existed in the public domain which nailed the fraudulent girl and her father who wanted to scam others to get an undeserving scholarship.
My golden advice: Change your attitude to situations and change your thought process from being insular otherwise, there will be dire self-inflicted consequences. Period.
Yesterday morning, a passenger boarded an Air Peace flight from Abuja to Port Harcourt. During the flight, this man, Mr. VITALIS NWABUZOR (wearing blue safari) in the video took another passenger’s computer bag from the overhead luggage cabin, took the money(in the brown envelope) that was in the bag. Changed the location of the computer bag to another compartment and moved to an empty seat at the back of the aircraft.
He was amongst the first few to disembark, despite the announcement of disembarkation line by line beginning from the front. He was eventually caught and the money retrieved from him. Different currencies in different denominations were found on him.
Those flying local commercial flights in Nigeria should be wary of thieves like VITALIS NWABUZOR.
A thief is a thief. Obviously he's been stealing and engaging in other crimes in the past while claiming to be a big boy to his associates in the big city and village or town union folks. People like that have to be disgraced publicly to serve as a deterant to other potential thieves before being taken to court!
He stood no chance of escaping after stealing from the baggage compartment though.
TheGreatIYANU: So guys, hate to break it to you but that was a light aircraft... NOT a helicopter. It is the type used for training people to become pilots.
In Nigeria there are two major light aircraft flying our skies.
1. Cesena (Image 1)
2. Diamond DA20 (Image 2)
Image 3 is what a helicopter looks like
Indeed. The plane that crashed was not a helicopter.
. The pilots were brave. Glad they made it out of the wreckage alive. Oba Akran Avenue could have witnessed a bigger disaster if the aircraft had landed on the cars taking people home at closing time in that area being a commercial and residential epicenter.
Tinyemeka: Yeah I understand your viewpoint and believe me, that is one thoughtful consideration I've decided to reserve for the future. I look forward to retiring and spending my grey years in Nigeria, which is why we're gradually building nest eggs here and there, but the more I get used to the modest way of life here as contrasted with the loud/aggressive way of life at home, I do get doubts about whether I can really live in Nigeria when I grow old.
When I mentioned my wife's case I only listed that as one of some examples of the drastic change in circumstances that has occurred in our lives since we moved to the UK.
I do beg your pardon if I come off as sounding like a brag which honestly is not my intention but rather an attempt to convey to you the peace of mind that we feel since we moved vis a viz the constant assurance of power supply, clean water supply (we don't even put water in the fridge but drink cold water directly from the kitchen tap at home. It blew my mind that such level of water cleanliness could be maintained all the way from the water purification plants, through the mains and to all the homes). With regards to home security, fences are mostly about 4 feet tall, with shrubbery for privacy. I've never locked our gate before and so many times we've forgotten to lock our front door and go to bed at night, without any fear of a break-in. Most of the people I interact with are always courteous, are not loud and people tend to follow rules for the most part in their daily activities. It is not all rosy though, because there are some inefficiencies you may encounter but it is definitely not something you can compare to what you'd experience in Nigeria.
Prior to travelling I'd always considered the US or Canada, because of the stories we used to hear about the UK and it's notorious taxes. Well, we came in and by God's grace we've both been working, earning, paying our bills and saving enough to send home.
If I could drop some pieces of advice about relocating to the UK, avoid London if your combined household income is going to be less than £90,000 per annum. The city is designed to only be affordable to live in by the wealthy. It is also severely overpopulated which has led to increasing gang-related activity and crime rates.
I will advise that if you ever see the opportunity to come to the UK from Nigeria, grab it with all four limbs. If it's through a work visa route, that's all the more icing on the cake. Coming via the study route with a large family at once, is definitely going to create difficult circumstances in trying to settle down.
P.S: To others who say it is not possible to save additional N12.5m within a year:
NHS Band 5 Nurse salary per month after tax: £1,760 - £1,960 for working 3 days a week. After picking agency shifts elsewhere: £340 per day or £3,060 per month after tax (2 nights a week, 9 shifts a month)
God so kind, a couple can earn as much as £7,500 a month after tax, be modest and keep their monthly expenses under £2,000.
You really do not have to live in London to claim that you're residing in the UK. It will just drain your lifeblood and make you forget your reason for leaving Nigeria in the first place.
Cheers.
Word! Places such as Manchester are way cheaper than London.
