Security operatives comprising the police, soldiers, civil defence, and vigilantes have taken over Nimo community in Njikoka LGA of Anambra State, over protests to stop the sale of the community land by some individuals in the area.

The operatives were in the community to stop the protest, for which some youth had gathered to register their displeasure over what they described as the activities of a few rich people in the community.

The sight of the fully armed security operatives, however, sent fear into most members of the community.

The operatives, who accosted the youths at Oye Nimo, stopped them from marching around the community with their placards, saying they did not get clearance from the police to hold any protest.

The protesters who spoke to journalists insisted that they had duly received clearance, and that the protest was against the sale of a large parcel of land in the community, known as Ana Owa.


Though, they were stopped from undertaking the protest march, they however displayed placards with various inscriptions.

Some of the placards read: ‘Ana Owa is not for sale’, ‘Stop selling off our inheritance’, and ‘You are supposed to be protecting us’, among others.

Barr Chux Okonkwo, a Lagos-based legal practitioner and former chairman of Nimo Town Development Union, Lagos branch, who participated in the protest accused some powerful leaders in the community of being responsible for the sale of their inheritance, but did not name them.

He said: “A vast expanse of land, known as “Ana Owa”, which was gotten by conquest during a communal war many decades ago, is being sold off today by some people in this community.

“They said they have realised N900 million from sales of the land, even though no one authorised them to sell it, and they now claim they have spent N1.2 billion, which means we owe them about N300,000. They cannot even account for what they did with the funds.

“That is why we are protesting, but you see the platoon of security men they brought to stop us. It is the same people that are selling off the land that are trying everything possible to stop us.”

The leader of the protesting youths, Mr Chigbo Aniedobe, told journalists that the elements in the community have changed the name of the land from Ana Owa to Obodo Oma Estate, and have put a price tag of N3.1 million per plot.

“We are not ready to fight anyone, we are not going to make trouble, but this protest is for government to hear our cry and come to our aid. At least, posterity will vindicate us that we spoke up when this was happening,” he stated.

God1000:
Why such move, this is unacceptable


I'm surprised to be honest because I don't expect this from the Biden administration, even the current US ambassador to UN is a black woman.

But domestically, the Biden administration has shown the willingness to end racism and white supremacy. Some high ranking black men and women serving in biden's cabinet include.

1. Michael Regan, the first Black man to lead the Environmental Protection Agency

2. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the first Black person in the post

3. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge

4. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield

5. Cecilia Rouse, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. Rouse is the first Black woman to lead the council.


6. Shalanda Young, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.

7. Karine Jean-Pierre, white house press secretary

8. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

9. The current US vice President Kamala Harris is also a black woman, Joe biden picked her.

The list is endless

President biden also signed executive order on the second anniversary of George Floyd's death directing federal agencies to revise use-of-force policies, banning tactics such as chokeholds, restricting practices like no-knock warrants and promoting de-escalation techniques.


This is why I'm still a fan of Biden, Donald trump didn't appoint a single black man in his cabinet, he remains the most racist president in US history

Stop misleading people. Trump appointed Dr Ben Carson into his cabinet

A dog can help with the reptiles, I have two and believe me no snake or reptile will dare enter my compound especially at night when I let them loose. Also I live near a stream. I also use electric fencing perimeter, it has electrocuted a couple of squirrels in the past.

I am yet to see snakes anyway, but I planned for them, my fence is high and the foundation deep, I also screded the walls to make it smooth, so no grip for anything to climb. lastly I ensure I caught the grasses and trees behind my fence regularly

Good luck
