This is a serious topic. At first I never wanted to comment but I think the world should know this.
Earlier this year February to be precise in my village at, I was approached by a man and he asked me how I would love to join the Navy. I told him I would love to but don't have the opportunity and then we exchanged contacts and kept in touch.
When I went back to the city, I told my friends abt it one of them told me to be careful his dad told him that biafra is recruiting soldiers.
And from that day I cut contact with that man.
pls pm me the man's contact I ll like to join the navy as a biochemist I know what to do with my knowledge pls I need that contact

Rumours Over Arms Build-up In South-East, Niger Delta
6 hours ago

A report by New Telegraph indicates that there is a secret arms build-up in the South east and South south regions of Nigeria.
Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase
The report quotes a highly placed security official who said the federal government was ‘worried and concerned’ over the
situation in both regions.
The source said: “Some practical and strategic steps have to be taken immediately to circumvent these growing concerns if the
government must make any meaningful progress to deliver on its promises to the people.”
While the source blamed what he called “miscalculated security steps on the part of some agencies” for some of the avoidable
concerns, he however said direct engagement with concerned stakeholders in the affected areas is in the pipeline.
The source also said fresh security ‘persuasions’ have been tabled before President Muhammadu Buhari to have a holistic
review of the government’s stance on certain issues.
He cited the charges against the director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and the recent invitation of ex-militant warlord in the
Niger Delta, Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) as the reasons for the arms build-up.
He said: “Some of us have cause to believe that most of the steps taken security wise in the last six months have been ill-
advised and avoidable. We have no reason to be in the news that some MASSOB and IPOB members have been abducted or
seized by the military.
“Also, we have no reason to detain for so long, an inconsequential Kanu to the extent that he has become a central point in the
ethnic and regional agitations in the East. So, the young man has to be allowed to go. This is not to talk of the EFCC’s
miscalculation by inviting Tompolo at this time.
“Perhaps, some persons have forgotten that the pain of the loss of Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential poll still lingers
and once you play into the hands of these people, the nation might feel the heat with red eyes. So, we cannot afford to toy with
such things.
“We understand that there are some political forces inciting such moves, but some of us have made persuasive moves to the
president to allow the sleeping dog to rest rather than stirring up troubled waters that may have collateral damages on the
economy. We can’t try that in the face of the consequences inherent in this.
“Government is very much aware of this development and the reasons behind some of these provocative moves are what baffle
some of us. For instance, there are intelligence reports of how ex-militants took over the electoral process in Bayelsa state.
“It is not as if they love the governor there, they are merely rehearsing with the election to do the ultimate and the avalanche of
weapons is a source of concern and worry.”
When contacted, Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said he could not comment on the issues raised by
our correspondence on the telephone.
“Please I cannot make any comment on these issues you have raised; I don’t want to be misquoted on any of the issues
please,” he said.
Meanwhile Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, has called on religious leaders in Nigeria to appeal to those
agitating for a republic of Biafra to let peace reign in the region.
He made the statement on Wednesday, December 9 in Abuja stressing the important role of the Nigerian clergy in this respect.

guy forget all this scare tactics.which arms build up. the question you need to ask and why it will be different from boko is simply.are the militant ready or bifruad militants ready to fight and who are they going to fight and kill. are they ready to kill their fellow kinsmen ? via bombings or suicide bombings. this will not work. the military knows this cause the scenario is totally different from boko.

Being from middle belt, I'd think you should be facing the Fulani marauders rather than worrying yourself about the "chest beaters".
