This is state-sponsored murder.
Forget what nationality he is from.
The police in South Africa are clearly seen suffocating the suspect, who is already in handcuffs. The police then claimed the suspect died of a heart attack.
Nigeria must not allow this to be dismissed; the suspect's family must sue the South African government.
South Africa should be burnt down by now if Nigeria is a working country. South Africa should be erased. It's a menace to Africa. Nigeria supported this nation with our hard earned finance during the apartheid! See our pay back?
“Despite denial statements from the South African Police, video from Bellville, Cape Town appears to show officers strangling and suffocating Chika Ibe, a Nigerian from Abia State. Chika Ibe later died.”

Make coup happen, make una tag am “Igbo coup.” Then go ahead and murder over 3 million children without a national conversation about reparations and consequences for all those involved, sixty years down the line.
Ok.
There is no single good in sin.
There is no single gain in unrighteousness.
Because we are creatures of a sovereign God, whatever we do against His nature is detrimental to our well-being.
During the Nigerian Civil War, many Igbo people fled cities like Lagos, leaving behind houses and property. Alex Ekwueme (then a young architect) left his house in Apapa.
His neighbour, Otunba Subomi Balogun, a banker did not seize the property. Instead, he removed intruders from the house, renovated it and rented it out while Ekwueme was away.
He carefully kept all the rent proceeds.
When the war ended and Ekwueme returned, Balogun handed back the house to him and gave him a full envelope of all the rent collected
Ekwueme was reportedly shocked, because many others lost their properties during that period.
About a decade later, Ekwueme became Vice President under President Shehu Shagari (Second Republic, 1979–1983). Subomi Balogun wanted to establish his own bank but faced significant hurdles at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Officials resisted because it was unprecedented for a private Nigerian citizen to own a commercial bank without foreign partners; there were also political suspicions (some alleged he might use it to finance certain politicians).
After failing to get traction through official channels, Balogun turned to his old friend. One Sunday after Church Service, he and his wife "cornered" Ekwueme at the Cathedral Church in Marina, Lagos. They physically grabbed Ekwueme and his wife's clothing to get past security and plead their case.
Ekwueme listened, reassured him, and instructed him to come to the Federal Executive Council meeting he would preside over (as Shagari was absent).
That very Thursday, the Finance Minister called Balogun to confirm that the license had been approved on Ekwueme's instruction.
This paved the way for FCMB and reportedly opened doors for other indigenous banks.
Balogun later opened an FCMB branch in Ekwueme's hometown of Oko (Anambra State) in continuation of their friendship.
We love ourselves, it is the politicians that are dividing us.
I was building a tool that helped Nigerians identify exact locations where terrorists have killed citizens since Tinubu became president.
I stopped building because what I discovered messed with me mentally. The death toll is underreported.
