APC is indeed a terror!sts organization.
This is a local government Chairman of Gwandu LGA, Kebbi State calling for at least one person in every polling unit to beat, harass and intimidate those who do not support APC/Kaura and even promising to bail them when they are arrested for doing so.
This is not democracy. This is political terrorism and intimidation.
This is why we call APC a terrorist organization. Nigerians must reject this politics of fear.
A Nigerian Serving In The US Military Has Shared a Thought-Provoking Experience From a Special Military Training He Attended In The United States.
He Said Most Of The Participants Were Immigrants From Countries Like Germany, Italy, Rwanda And South Africa. During a Conversation, They Started Sharing The Benefits And Opportunities Their Respective Countries Had Provided Them Before They Moved To The US.
According To Him, The German Spoke About Free Healthcare And Education. The Rwandan Talked About The Economic Growth That Had Helped His Business Back Home. The Italian Shared How He Was Able To Have His Children Without Paying For Healthcare, While The South African Spoke About Receiving Government Loans To Establish a Business.
But When It Got To His Turn To Talk About The Benefits He Had Enjoyed As a Nigerian In Nigeria, He Said He Suddenly Realized He Couldn’t Point To a Single One. It Was a Moment That Left Him Reflecting On What Citizens Should Be Able To Expect From Their Own Country.

Landlocked or not, a seaport is possible in Southeast
By ALOY EJIMAKOR
It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may - in course of time - begin to pass for the truth. One of such terrible lies, institutionally purveyed since the end of the Civil War, is that Southeast or Igboland is landlocked or has no access to the sea, and thus cannot have a seaport.
By this piece, I will debunk this lie with some simple historical and topographical evidence that are even in plain sight. In the Southeast, there are many waterways and little-known slithering tributaries that meandered through Igbo-delta wetlands and ended at the Southeastern waterfronts of the Atlantic.
These rivers and their contiguous tributaries have varying lengths of short navigational paths to the Atlantic, and in some cases, are far shorter nautically (and even on footpath) than the dredged Lagos seaports are to their contact with the Atlantic.
Many of these pathways, including particularly the ones from the outer reaches of Imo and Azumiri Rivers terminate at the Atlantic at no more than 30 Nautical miles to the Atlantic beachhead. Thus, the contiguity of Southeast (not even the greater Igboland lying in the South-South) to the Atlantic is nautically less than the Atlantic is to the seaports in Lagos.
To be sure, Ikwerre land or Igweocha which bears the greater portions of the Portharcourt seaport was dredged up to 50 miles to the Atlantic front through the Bonny River. Onne seaport was dredged up to 60 miles to the Atlantic and Calabar seaport was dredged some 45 nautical miles to the Atlantic and the Lagos seaports were dredged up to about 50 nautical miles to the Atlantic.
Compare all these to Obuaku in Abia State, which is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic from the confluence of Imo and Azumiri Rivers, of which Azumiri, on its separate merits, lies not more than 30 nautical miles to the Atlantic beachfront; and so is the little-known Oseakwa (Urashi) in Ihiala (Anambra State).
Additionally, what is geopolitically known as Igboland today is far smaller than what it was and legally supposed to be.
As far back as 1856, Baikie - one of the earliest and credible geographers of ancient Nigeria, had this to say - “Igbo homeland, extends east and west, from the Old Kalabar river to the banks of the Kwora, Niger River, and possesses also some territory at Aboh, an Igbo clan, to the west-ward of the latter stream. On the north it borders on Igara, Igala and A'kpoto, and it is separated from the sea only by petty tribes, all of which trace their origin to this great race" (Baikie, William Balfour, published with a sanction of Her Majesty's Government in 1856).
But with the infamous post-War abandoned property policy and the egregious institutional injustices in boundary adjustments, coupled with the widespread anti-Igbo gerrymandering, Igbos physically lost political hold of their vested ancestral lands, all to the point of not caring anymore about their historical contiguity to the Atlantic Ocean, which Igbo ancestors beheld with their eyes and exclaimed: ‘Oshimiri’ which means: ‘the infinite sea’.
The post-war psychological beat-down and gang-up got so bad and institutional that some of the descendants of these Igbo ancestors (nearest to the Atlantic and now lying outside Southeast) are no longer sure whether they are Igbo or not.
The worst injustice was in 1976 when the Justice Nasir Boundary Adjustment Commission made a serious and targeted agenda of carving out core Igboland territories into some neighboring States of the South-South. But they didn’t quite make an absolute success of it.
They missed the southernmost Southeast lands that possess Rivers that meandered through slices of Igboid South-South territories and ended up at the Atlantic waterfront.
When APC was destroying campaign posters in Lagos and threatening opposition, I told them that Lagos is not Nigeria as a whole, now see what they have brought upon themselves...
NIGERIANS ARE TIRED OF APC, IF YOU ARE A POLITICIAN IN THE APC, TRY AND WORK WITH NDC ELSE!!!
Police in Abuja have arrested alleged kidnappers after they kidnapped a child in Abuja. this is not their first time, these same people had kidnapped 4 children before and they had sold some for 1.5M each.
Hi there,
Let me walk you through something I’ve been pondering.
We are building “OBICARE” ,a structured menstrual hygiene outreach for Mr Peter Obi’s presidential campaign. An organised community of nurses and volunteers across all six geo-political zones that turns our daily access and credibility into real impact: dignity, education, and practical support for girls and women, while showing what competent, people-centered leadership actually looks like.
When a nurse in a ward, a clinic, a village health centre, or a family WhatsApp group says, “This is what we’re doing with OBICARE, and this is why it matters,” that conversation does not stay in the room. It ripples into homes, churches, market squares, and voting decisions ,because Mr Peter Obi cares for humanity, and he has demonstrated that over the years.
We are putting together the founding team: the people who will build the structure, set the tone, and light the match before anyone else sees the fire.
This is a 20-week commitment. It is real work. But the payoff is a healthier population.
I’m not asking everyone. I’m asking you because you understand what is at stake and you have the network to make your zone count.
We are kicking off this outreach with the distribution of 2,000 sanitary pads and 1,000 sixty-leaf exercise notebooks to school-aged girls.
If you are inspired to volunteer, donate, or participate in this outreach, reply if you’re in. We’re moving now.
