Unhinged people

Israelis are losing the support they had in their fight against Islamic terrorists with their unhinged behavior of killing innocent unarmed people.

Then Malawi, a government sent their own people to go do slave job. If they secured the slave jobs on their own, it would have been different but a government that is suppose to protect the dignity of her people sent them over to another country to do slave jobs.

Most African countries love being in chains. If you hear them kicking one white master out, you see them replacing the former with another master. Doing things for themselves and by themselves is like a taboo

Oghene86:


Don't mind them just running their mouth anyhow, when the Urhobos are ready they will all run to Ode itsekiri
Ode Itsekiri is where they belong and they all will be sent there in the end. They are not even indigenous to Delta State but making trouble here and there, warning Urhobo and Ijaw all the time.

Look at the other unfortunate one even insulting the forefathers of people, calling them useless and uncultured nuisance when nobody has insulted Itsekiri elders or heritage

Itsekiri the smallest ethnic group in Delta State is fighting everybody. Today they are fighting Urhobo over Warri, today Ijaw in Warri South West or Warri North.

I have never seen ethnic group that's not big enough to fill a single local government of their own make so much noise like the Itsekiri.
You share Warri South with Urhobo and Ijaw, share Warri South West with Ijaw, share Warri North with Ijaw yet Itsekiri are the ones calling Ijaw and Urhobo tenants in Warri.

Even Olu of Itsekiri that Awolowo promoted to Olu of Warri that cannot access everywhere in Warri without being chased away by Urhobo boys...yet Itsekiri make the loudest noise in Delta State warning either Urhobo or Ijaw that's bigger than them all the time.
They better sit down and discuss like brothers before another round of fighting will break out.
It may not favour them as even Urhobo is patiently waiting to instil and expand Wado City if Itsekiri go the war route.

Perhaps that will reduce avarice and make them work for the good of the people. Most times, we tend to forget that we will die someday. RIP, sir.

Is Tantita a military contractor or a militant?

Military contractors used by USA are usually ex servicemen, not just picking rogue entities and entrusting them with the Nations territorial defence.

To even think some idiots will be defending this rubbish.

The militant tag ended with amnesty. Tantita is a security contractor. There are ex servicemen in Tantita as well if that answers your counter on what the other poster said.

You can talk about the bad in Nigeria outsourcing it's security to private bodies without necessarily attaching false tags to what you are saying.
To lay credence to what the other guy said, even the almighty America uses private contractors

sweerychick:
angry... Not that im defending these Chinese people, but I've been to China and I know their tradition, Chinese people are extremely discreet, they don't like sharing anything with you. That's why they live in clusters, Chinatown. You hardly see Chinese people intermingle with commoners. And they do it to everyone including Europeans not just blacks alone. I think it's an Asian thing.
I believe why the restricted Nigerians there is fear of their safety, because from the report it started January this year and it was this January that dollars started skyrocketing and food stuffs increased astronomically. So they feared that Nigerians might want to loot their shops or do something sinister to them..
@bold
Was that a mistake or you are trying to elevate the Chinese to the level of superhumans or royalty.
I guess in the ongoing case, Nigerians are the "commoners" in Nigeria while the Chinese are the superhumans.

Every other thing you said, you ended up defending the Chinese, the very opposite of what you meant in your opening paragraph.
Lastly, what is "they must have been afraid that Nigerians would loot their goods due to price increase", seriously? How many supermarkets has Nigerians looted due to price increase, except for the isolated cases of some people looting food trucks on highways.

Things like this, you summarily condemn it and leave no room for other interpretations. Making a framework/background for why foreigners are misbehaving in your own country towards your own people is wild.

This is Rotimi Amaechi from Ikwerre saying he’s Igbo on national television.

This is Ifeanyi Okowa from Delta (Anioma) saying he’s Igbo on National Television.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7HvqXDv9c8?si=SrjYj6fP9u61pae7

Which of these two men were forced by Igbos to a national television to say what they said?

You are here claiming Ikwerre and Anioma are denying being Igbo but I just showed video clips respectable men from the two tribes. Where’s ur own evidence to support your claim?

Purge yourself of your hatred for Igbos.
Hatred for Igbos? You clearly do not know what you are saying. Y'all don't like listening to the truth.

I have been in many occasions and even here, defended Igbos when Yorubas molested you guys for your overbearing and impulsive attitude of insulting everything that is not Igbo.

Showing me a video of Okowa, Ameachi saying they are Igbo proves nothing as anybody can be from anywhere as there are hausas, Ijaws, Yorubas etc with Igbo roots due to intermarriage, likewise there are Igbos with Hausa, Ijaw and Yoruba roots.

If you want to get the right information, go to the traditional stool/rulers and not some individual men saying they are this and that then people like you using that to equate a whole ethnic group under another ethnic group.
Go and meet Ikwerre and Anioma traditional rulers proclaiming their ethnic groups as Igbo.
You referenced Amaechi as confirmation of Ikwerre as Igbo, the same Ikwerre man Wike denounced you people so what are you on.

Forcing ourselves on others?

So it was Igbos that asked Asari Dokubo to turn on his ring light, record a video saying he’s Igbo, and post it on the internet, Abi?

How pathetic can you lots be?
Igbos causing nuisance are the pathetic lot. Apologies to the good ones.

So Asari turning on ring light in front of a camera to say he traced his father to Igbo land means every other person from Kalabari and Ibani is Igbo?

Igbos especially the youths should stop forcing themselves on other people, at this point it is becoming embarrassing as almost every minority in the ND is rejecting y'all embarrassingly. Ikwerre and Anioma that ordinarily should be your closest cousins are rejecting you too, as if that is not embarrassing enough, y'all want to add Ijaws too.
Igbo is a majority tribe in Nigeria that need to respect themselves as such instead of always bringing avoidable insults upon themselves.
With the way y'all are blatantly and disrespectfully claiming everything, soon Igbos would be driven away from all the minority groups they've been living with.

I’m sure you also didn’t see the video of Fubara speaking Igbo the other time abi?

You also didn’t see the video of Asari Dokubo saying he and so many others are Igbos too?

Those ones are still claims abi?

I understand how painful it would be for you all to see the lies and propaganda that your fathers and you have laboured so hard to propagate from generation to generation falling like a pack of cards.

You all will learn.
So Fubara or anybody wearing Isi Agu makes them Igbo? This is very myopic thought.
I love Igbos but Igbos really need to curtail their nuisance and forcing themselves on other people. They know the history of every Nigerian tribe except their own.

The amount of time Igbos dedicate into insulting other tribes especially Ijaws on Facebook and elsewhere is astonishing. Fubara is not Igbo so stop forcing it.
I never knew a time would come that I will detest Igbos considering that Ijaws are very close to them culturally, economically and otherwise until I saw how Igbos hate every other person except themselves. Insult and downgrade anything of other people that is not their own, superiority complex and putting themselves even in conversations that don't concern them.

Igbos need to stop this nuisance especially towards Ijaw people as whether they like it or not, ijaws are the only friends they have left in Nigeria and that friendship is hanging by a thin thread with Igbo insults and nuisance towards Ijaws in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta

He can't bribe ATEKE again. Fubara already did that by making him a First Class traditional ruler from second class. Ateke's kingship stool ordinarily is under a larger kingdom yet Fubara made him a First Class traditional ruler which is not suppose to be, so that's a big bribe.
As for Tompolo, he may not take bribe from Wike against Fubara. Tompolo is Ijaw nationalist and patriot so will not deny his brother especially now that Ijaw just produced Governor in Rivers State after so many years of minority Ikwerre domination of Rivers seat of government.

Boyloaf has no political capital or far reaching influence to move things in the Niger Delta. He's limited to his local government

It is state creation with wrong borders since Ijaws majorly occupy the coastal stretch of Nigeria. It is the reason they are carved unjustly into several states making them minority in many of them.

For your correction, Ijaws are not troublemakers. They only don't condone oppression and subjugation

It is state creation.
Ijaws majorly occupy the coastal stretch of the South and as they create states, they balkanize some into different states using stupid borders.
For example, the Egbema Ijaw (kingdom) is divided into Delta and parts of Edo state. Now the Egbema King - Beni Pere Agadagba has his kingdom shared into two states

That is,P S will do all official work that executive governor will do in a state.

YOU GUYS COMMON SENSES HAVE COMPLETELY TAKEN BY TRIBE AND RELIGION
.

To think properly and appropriately is now a problem, yet they are agitating for youth to take over the country
You are the one that needs to use your common sense
The laws governing the FCT and a State are not totally copy and paste and likening the position of a minister of the FCT to that of an executive governor show that you need to read more.

In a Federating State, there is never a vacuum in the position of a governor but that of the FCT, a minister can be appointed anytime the president wants e.g Buhari appointed minister of the FCT after six months. Do you mean that the FCT administration was folded up within that time and put in a box because there was no minister?
Now, the law has prescribed not more than 60 days for minsters to be appointed, do you mean if minsters are not appointed until the 50th day like that of Tinubu, the FCT administration will stop to function within that period because there was no minister.

Now back to your analogy of P S doing the work of an executive governor of a state: the FCT minister is not an executive governor even though people draw similarity for the convenience of public discourse.
There is a problem with you mentioning P S while describing an executive governor in the example you gave. The absence of an executive governor does not reduce his functions to a P S or any other official of equal jurisdiction performing those functions. The Speaker of the House is there in event of a scenario like that.
So it is never like a P S doing the job of an executive governor when the Director of Lands duly sign and allocate lands when a minister is not yet appointed in the FCT

Use your common sense. Your response to what the other poster asked and the parallel you gave is totally wrong.
Wike's defense can only make sense if the law explicitly say; it is only a Minister that can allocate land or they got to discover that the land was acquired through fraudulent means when the Director of lands signed the papers.
This Wike explanation did not include any of that, whereas he only said the land was allocated when there was no minister which is not what the law explicitly said.

As a government official, when you are trying to correct a wrong thing by doing a wrong thing, it brings suspicion and give rise to different interpretations

Military Generals don't work in a consulate or any diplomatic post.

The moment you move your military assets, command and control to a foreign soil, it becomes a target when you misbehave no matter where it is located.
The Iranians made the consulate building a target because their Generals were using it as a military outpost.
You can't construe the incident as a direct attack on the sovereignty of Iran.

Iran can attack any Israeli military assets they want in Syria, Iraq or any other M.E country of they so desire

The south west care about southern unity but voted for Tambuwal to be Speaker against their own daughter Mulikat Akande from Oyo state thereby preventing her from becoming Speaker of the house.
The South West killed the Southern Senators Forum before but only revived it now cause they don't want their actions to be seen like a fight between the South West against the North, rather a fight by the collective South against Northern intimidation which is just a smokescreen to mask their true intention.
The other Southern senators know this that's why they are somewhat sitting on the fence including senators from Akpabio's own region.

It is about politics and not about any southern unity. Those senators are only protecting Akpabio because of Tinubu and not about any Southern nonsense
