HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
“Gen. Yakubu Gowon's failure to secure and protect the lives and properties of the Igbos in the North forced Col. Emeka Ojukwu to declare the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria in May 1967, leading to the fratricidal Nigerian-Biafran civil war”

Sunday Igboho don dey order kidnapping of somebody
Ehenn? Freedom fighter say make dem kidnap Yoruba man wey he dey fight for because the man supports Peter Obi

I just saw this VIDEO from @iamayolawal narrating Tinubu’s failures and my anger grew more intense.
This video is enough to spark a revolution in Nigeria, but I wish Nigerians were ready!
Pls, let’s make this go VIRAL!✍️
The fraud keeps a room in Radisson Blu. A RevolutionNow should know the road to Aso Rock & the Government House in Ondo State.
He comes from an LGA best described as a poultry farm. Yet, he has refused to go home & vye for office in his backwater Ondo state.
Sowore has come to the end of the road. The fraud was allowed to operate longer than he should. Crooks in orange beret should know when to stop. Your journey ends here!
Yorubas claim they can’t pronounce or spell “Igbo” properly as if the G/B consonants don’t exist in their vocabulary, yet they say “Gbenga” perfectly. That’s why we must never forget to respect their preference
Benga, not Gbenga
Obomosho, not Ogbomosho
Ojueleba, not Ojuelegba
THAT CIVIL WAR STORY TOLD BY CHIEF EMMANUEL IWUANYANWU
When I heard Cubana Chief Priest talking about Ndigbo being defeated in war, a common narrative among this generation; then my mind raced back to an interview I conducted with Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu of blessed memory in September 2020, during his 78th birthday.
He told me a story of the war most people didn't know.
Iwuanyanwu fought in the war, Cubana Chief Priest didn't. I will drop an extract of that interview below so you can make of it what you will:
RIGHTING THE CIVIL WAR NARRATIVE
IWUANYANWU: I have said this before, and I am repeating it. I am still alive. I commanded the last battle for the defense of Uli airport, so anything I talk about, concerning the end of the war, is more of an eye-witness account. I am telling young Nigerians particularly, young Igbo people who continue to read all these books citing the ‘fall of Biafra’, ‘the defeat of Biafra’, ‘the surrender of Biafra’, those are not true.
Strictly for the purposes of history, those narratives are not true. The truth about it is that Nigeria was better equipped than Biafra, Nigeria had the upper hand, but Biafra was resilient. We fought like people who had no other choice. The way we perceived the war was such that we were rejected. We did not feel safe in Nigeria anymore. Our people were slaughtered and massacred for a cause they knew nothing about. They said Igbo people caused the coup, of course that was also a lie, we did not cause the coup. Thousands of Igbo people were killed for no reason. So we did not have any choice, we resolved it was better to die fighting in defense of our people. That’s why we, the young men of those days, joined the army and took up arms. We already made up our mind to pay the supreme price in defense of our fatherland, so in spite of our shortcomings and inadequacies, we were a fearless and resilient army of passionate young men who were willing to die for their homeland.
So, like I said, the end of the civil war was negotiated, and I say this because I was on ground. Just like the Boko Haram insurgency, if anybody thinks they can defeat Boko Haram by just force of arm, and without negotiation, they may just be wasting their time. They should engage them and find a middle ground.
If not for the negotiation, Biafra war could have continued for 10, 12, or even 15 years because it is not that easy to utterly defeat somebody in his own ground without long-drawn hostilities. If you come to one place, he will go to another place, and guerrilla warfare was an option. Our own generation of young people at the time were so determined, and there was no way we would have surrendered at the time. We couldn’t have surrendered.
Senegal are likely to argue that they did not abandon the game, the match was completed by the referee’s whistle.
They can say Article 82 was misapplied because the game continued under the same circumstances and reached its natural end.
The referee allowing Senegal back on the pitch and Morocco happily continuing the game will be used to state the match - and result - was valid.
As the final was completed, they can argue the integrity of the game was upheld.
They can also claim changing the winner of a completed final is an extreme overreach by the Appeal Board. And that the punishment for a delay - not a refusal to play as they finished the game - is excessive.

Tinubu travelled to the U.K. for the first time and the entire Aso Rock and nearly all 36 state governors in Nigeria flew to the U.K. to receive him!
God have mercy on Nigeria!💔✍️
