lonelydora:I don't think it is an issue of tribe it is affecting everyone. There are many Igbos in those companies that exited if you must know. An Igbo man dealing in spare parts at Ladipo is also affected as the purchasing power of his customers is reduced. So, it is like a circle 2 Likes 1 Share |

Celebrities / Re: Cubana Chief Priest Celebrates With Okocha & Yobo After Getting N10m Bail(Video) by zikter(m): 4:14pm On Apr 18 |
dkidd:Between you and chief priest, I don't know who is more confused. Why call people fools when what you are displaying is more than foolery. His alleged offense is bailable and he was granted bail. Bobrisky was sentenced because he pleaded guilty, otherwise he would have been granted bail. Chief priest will go on trial for his offense and if found guilty, will be sentenced accordingly, if otherwise he will be discharged. He is only being foolish by putting up public shows like this instead of staying low for his trial. What is the win he is celebrating here? His case is not murder afterall 1 Like 1 Share |

bonechamberlain:This thin pain you very well. Sorry. But why will the generals be hiding in an embassy building to plan attacks against Israel? They made that building a command and control center, therefore it became a legitimate target. In any case, Iran says it will revenge. So don't over vex. Is not as if Iran who is sponsoring terrorist organizations in the middle east are saints. |

Politics / Re: Soldiers Tricked Us Into A Hall Then Opened Fire, Okuama Residents Speak by zikter(m): 8:11am On Mar 20 |
UncleKoboko:They are talking about after the killing of the 16 soldiers. The soldiers came to the community for a meeting, gathered the people, and trouble started when they wanted to arrest the community leaders but the people resisted them. The narration maybe true. I have seen this happened before in Gbeji community of Benue state when similar incident of killing soldiers during a communal clash. The soldiers came in the guise of peace meeting and gathered the people, without warning they opened fire and killed many. |

Feintline:Kai, the same modus operandi they used in Zaki-Biam(Gbeji town) in 2000s, they also gathered the people for a meeting and opened raw fire on them. Very crude in this age of top investigation methods 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Murder Of Soldiers In Okuama: Army Releases Statement On Misinformation by zikter(m): 9:27pm On Mar 18 |
omoredia:Maybe or maybe not,One can't be definite about it. Attacks of this nature hardly occur there, I haven't known any myself. And yes, it maybe partly because of what you said, many of them are active in the military, therefore, maybe they don't need to mount such attacks on their own who are majority. Head or tail, such has not happened that I know of. The closest I can point to is the El zakzaky issue with the army then, if you can remember. Many were killed simply for obstructing COAS. But again, it was tilted towards the religious angle of the Sunni and Shite Muslim rivalry. It is therefore neither here or there. Yes, corruption is a major issue. Many top goons in the military, both south and north are hugely benefitting from the chaotic situation. So it is true that they are not sincere. But it must be noted that, the gorilla and ideological warfare as being fought in the North is difficult to be defeated even by any sincerity standard. Ours is worse as we agreed on the point you made 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Murder Of Soldiers In Okuama: Army Releases Statement On Misinformation by zikter(m): 8:06pm On Mar 18 |
omoredia:Yes, what I emphasized. That is why I told the person who was saying the military should do what they could have done if this occured in the North. Many people are of the opinion that the military will keep quiet of this happened in the North, but it is never so. I can't recall the Delta scenario in North East or West but I witnessed it in North Central and the experience is not good. Instead of the army to use intelligence and fish out the culprits, they go on wild destruction of life and property. It is very unfortunate. But again, anything military operation anywhere in the world always affect innocent people no matter how trained the army is. Look at Gaza, when US and allies where in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. it is quite unfortunate but once the soldiers are out of their barracks in this way, it is unavoidable to affect innocent people |
Politics / Re: Murder Of Soldiers In Okuama: Army Releases Statement On Misinformation by zikter(m): 7:29pm On Mar 18 |
omoredia:I don't understand your question very well. But in any case, we do hear that soldiers kill bandits and bandits kill soldiers. I think my point on bandits/terrorist and the similarities or otherwise of Delta/Zaki Biam example I made in relation to the message I quoted is clear enough. You can read it again. Making it easy to clear bandits/terrorist in the bush or otherwise is a different topic. But again, the scale of Military operations going on in the North, if you must be sincere can't be compared to anywhere in Nigeria. Majority of the Bombs, fighter jets and artillery are concentrated there. So I don't understand when people say the military is not operating in the North. You are also free to pont it out to me where the military went on a peace keeping mission between warring communities in the North and where brutally murdered and nothing happened. I already gave one in Benue and the consequences of which I don't pray for any community. It is not pleasant as innocent people suffer brutality from the army |
Politics / Re: Murder Of Soldiers In Okuama: Army Releases Statement On Misinformation by zikter(m): 6:20pm On Mar 18 |
omoredia:If they treat it the way they do in the North for such cases, it won't be nice o. I remember the Zaki-Biam attack where similar issue occured in North Central, many towns where sacked as far away from the incident place as possible. It wasn't funny. In the North East and west, what is happening is not similar to what just happened in Delta. The army is in a war with terrorists and bandits who reside in forests and bushes and not community, infact, the communities are constantly under attack by bandits and terrorists. The only similar case to Delta I know is the Benue example. But it is a cruel revenge by military, innocent people suffer for what they know nothing about 1 Like 1 Share |

limeta:Okay, to if to the letter as you put it is a bit difficult, let's loosen it. Please, mention a community in the North that has killed soldiers aside the bandits and terrorists who are in active war with the military |
Politics / Re: Military Deploys Armoured Vehicles Into Bomadi Creeks by zikter(m): 11:51am On Mar 18 |
limeta:The way most of you talk is amusing. Have you been to the North you are talking about? Do you know how many bombs have been used and are still being used in the same north? By the way, can you mention a community in the North that has killed soldiers in this manner? Please, as hint, don't mention Bandits and terrorist, they are in bushes and forests and not communities. They fight with the military in a war. Again, these soldiers been deployed should strictly fish out the perpetrators and not deal with innocent people or give collective punishment 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: "The Audacity": Army Deletes Cryptic Post After Killing Of Soldiers In Delta by zikter(m): 5:36pm On Mar 17 |
HarryGleb:I don't think any community there has gang up to kill military personnel. The north there as you put it, is an active war zone between terrorists and bandits . They kill soldiers, and soldiers kill them too. They are not in a community but in forests and as a matter of fact, launch attacks on communities as well. So I don't think drawing parallel with what happened in Delta is wrong. Except if you have reports otherwise 1 Like |
