Speaker 1: Labor Party presidential candidates in the last general elections in Nigeria.
Speaker 1: Peter Obe may have recorded the highest views on his
Speaker 1: ex social media account in recent years after he treated
Speaker 1: on well nless Day, September four, twenty twenty four, making
Speaker 1: an amendment to his earlier post he issued to condemn
Speaker 1: a Canadian based woman, a Maca patient song Bagar, who
Speaker 1: on TikTok had called for the killing of people from
Speaker 1: two ethnic groups in Nigeria. The post, as at Friday
Speaker 1: evening when we visited Peter OB's social media page, has
Speaker 1: generated over two point two million views, surpassing the views
Speaker 1: of every other post Peter Obi had posted in recent time.
Speaker 1: According to Peter Obe, based on the information or reactions
Speaker 1: he got from people, that a maker patient Somba govern
Speaker 1: met the ethnic generocidal statement in reaction to the earlier
Speaker 1: heathful speechment against the people of Amaka tribe. While some
Speaker 1: Nigerians took to the comments section of the post to
Speaker 1: command Peter for reversing himself, many others condemned the Labor
Speaker 1: Party presidential candidates Peter Ob for trying to play the
Speaker 1: victim role for a Marchason Burghar, whom the said, is
Speaker 1: the aggressive of such tenuicidal statement of the first person
Speaker 1: to start asking his people to start killing people of
Speaker 1: two other tribes in Nigeria would poison. Peter OBEI did
Speaker 1: not state he decided to reverse himself on the basis
Speaker 1: of his own investigation, but he said he did the
Speaker 1: reversal based on reactions from people. There are concerns that
Speaker 1: the AMMBIC group of terrorists trying to cause ethnic war
Speaker 1: in Nigeria. The terrorists, according to Intelligent Gathering, are pretending
Speaker 1: or may actually be a member of a particular tribe
Speaker 1: in Nigeria who are deliberately making provocative and insight from
Speaker 1: statements and caricatural photos of traditional rulers to instigate ethnic
Speaker 1: war in Nigeria. Details of Peter Obe's statement reads verbaton below.
Speaker 1: Following my recent comment on the Nigerian woman living in Canada,
Speaker 1: women very distrestful comments against how fellow Nigerians in Canada
Speaker 1: while condemning such a level of tribal and religious division,
Speaker 1: I have received a barrage of reactions from people, many
Speaker 1: of who tried to justify their actions. Some explain that
Speaker 1: how comments were in reaction to earlier healthful comments met
Speaker 1: by another Nigerian and reportedly directed at other Nigerians of
Speaker 1: the Eco ethnicity, which I also now condemned in the
Speaker 1: strongest terms. As I mentioned then and still maintain now,
Speaker 1: tribal tension and religious division must not be allowed to
Speaker 1: grow amongrels. Such divisive and healthful comments and behaviors against
Speaker 1: one another should have no place among girls. We must
Speaker 1: remain one united nation focused on solving the variants of
Speaker 1: challenges facing us as a nation. We must unite against
Speaker 1: the further colonization of our nation along tribal, religious and
Speaker 1: political lines and focus on finding lasting solutions to the
Speaker 1: challenges of high insecurity, on weariable high cost of living,
Speaker 1: and leadership frelire that has continued to weigh us down
Speaker 1: with first in our nation. May we embrace unity and
Speaker 1: peace so that we can achieve true progress, growth and
Speaker 1: development in our nation on one united and peaceful nation.
Speaker 1: Shall the new Nigeria stand? It is possible. We had
Speaker 1: earlier reported that the former presidential candidates of Labor Party
Speaker 1: LP and People's Democratic Party PDP, Peter orb and article A. Bobaka,
Speaker 1: on last week Friday issued a separate statement to one
Speaker 1: Nigerians abroad to stop making negative tribal statements after Simon Epar,
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Birfrag government in exile, declared and
Speaker 1: showcased the anticipated forty states of birfla dot cut across
Speaker 1: the ancestral land of some tribes in Nigeria. Since August
Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty four, when Simon Epper named the forty
Speaker 1: states of the expected Bilfrai Republic, many Nigerians a broad
Speaker 1: out taken to social media platforms to discuss their place
Speaker 1: of origin, most especially the Ika speaking people, Igo people
Speaker 1: and the people of Benin. In the hatful, insightful and
Speaker 1: derogatory man are capable of turning the agitation for the
Speaker 1: declaration of Bilfi Republic into an ethnic world. As Simon
Speaker 1: Epper declared three local government areas of the present, they
Speaker 1: adhosted that have some areas as Eca speaking people as
Speaker 1: Barfra land. Prior to the declaration by Simon Eppa, some
Speaker 1: group of people on fifteenth day of August twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four organized a spirst audio meeting on ex social media platform.
Speaker 1: The group during the program displad the caricatural photos of
Speaker 1: the ober of Benin and met a lot of derogatory
Speaker 1: and insightful statements against the over of Benin, while many
Speaker 1: Adore people believed the group where enemies who may have
Speaker 1: wanting to cause ethnic crisis between Benin and Igo people.
Speaker 1: Simon up a few days after new part of Edo
Speaker 1: South obviously the entire Edo Central and Dulnoth senatorial zones
Speaker 1: of Edo State as Bhafar Land. Thereafter, the social media
Speaker 1: and media war moved to TikTok where many Nigerians abroad
Speaker 1: have been organizing life meetings full of head speech, threats
Speaker 1: to life, abusive and insightful statements. Historians agreed that the
Speaker 1: present day Edo State was formerly by origin known as
Speaker 1: induland letter changed to Godu, thereafter changed to Igodogodo before
Speaker 1: it was currently renamed and known as Edo or Benin.
Speaker 1: Some historians also agreed that the then Vendal Province was
Speaker 1: created in nineteen sixty three from the western region of
Speaker 1: Benin and Delta Provinces because of the closer cultural and
Speaker 1: ethnic tized the people of the two provinces have. Likely
Speaker 1: most of the people in the two provinces are indigenous
Speaker 1: people of one family, which was politically created and renamed
Speaker 1: as Bandal State in nineteen seventy six and Edo and
Speaker 1: Delta States in nineteen ninety one in order to have
Speaker 1: a fast share in federal allocation as some other regions
Speaker 1: in Nigeria has since divided into states and as such
Speaker 1: were having bigger share in federal allocations as in most
Speaker 1: parts of the Delta State. The majority of the clans
Speaker 1: of Inca nation claimed to have migrated from the ancient
Speaker 1: Benin Empire between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, aiding in
Speaker 1: various ways. The first world is believed to have been
Speaker 1: headed by a man called Ekka and the land he
Speaker 1: settled in was called Ika Land. The Aka people are
Speaker 1: an Eboyd group found primarily in Delta State, Nigeria and
Speaker 1: Edo States, Nigeria. The Aca people have just two local governments,
Speaker 1: Ika South and Aca Northeast local government areas of Delta
Speaker 1: State and the Banke and Econ areas of ohiom Ian
Speaker 1: one Wan and the Gueban local government areas in Adole State.
Speaker 1: The speak Aca, a dialect of the Igo language. Some
Speaker 1: of the historians stated Peter or b while condemning the
Speaker 1: ulterances of some Nigerians abroad, said I utterly condemned the
Speaker 1: reportant healthful statements and actions attributed to a Nigerian woman
Speaker 1: living in Canada against other Nigerians of diverse origins. Such
Speaker 1: divisive comments or behavior have non place in our society.
Speaker 1: As Nigerians, we should unite and focus on addressing our
Speaker 1: shelt challenges rather than allowing tribalism and health to tear
Speaker 1: us apart. I have consistently stood against the polarization of
Speaker 1: our country along tribal, religious or political lines. What does
Speaker 1: a nation achieved through tribal or religious bigotry?
Speaker 2: Does it contribute.
Speaker 1: Positively to development by fixing our numerus, health, educational challenges
Speaker 1: and pulling people out of poverty. Does it reduce the
Speaker 1: price of bread, rise gary or young in the market.
Speaker 1: Does it improve our transportation system or enhance the electricity supply?
Speaker 1: Does it enshore good governance? The answer is a resounding no.
Speaker 1: Our priority should be to move Nigeria forward, regardless of
Speaker 1: tribe or religion. We as Nigerians must life together in
Speaker 1: peace and love and then show that we enthron leaders
Speaker 1: based on integrity, competence, consistency, capacity, character and compassion so
Speaker 1: as to overcome our present challenges and move the country
Speaker 1: forward in the right direction. Let us focus on what
Speaker 1: truly matters, building a prosperos, united and equitable Nigeria for all.
Speaker 1: We must reject tribalism and religious division and embrace our
Speaker 1: short humanity working together towards a new Nigeria Dot is Possible.
Speaker 1: Article Almubaca, while also condemning the ulterances of the Nigerian abroad,
Speaker 1: said as quoted that the contentious virtual chart room clean
Speaker 1: wearing participants man threads of ethnic clacing against the Yubas
Speaker 1: and Bning people is unequivocally condemned in all aspects. I
Speaker 1: am informed that the identities of those involved have been
Speaker 1: disclosed and black calls have been meant to the pertinent
Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies in Canada to prosecute the offenders in
Speaker 1: this regard.
Speaker 2: I command the House of.
Speaker 1: Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission for their prompt
Speaker 1: and decisive action in addressing this incendiary rhetoric and preempting
Speaker 1: further escalation this this concerting episode on this cause once
Speaker 1: again the imperative of uniting our people and our nation.
Speaker 1: Our rich diversity is our most cherished national assets and
Speaker 1: must be vigilantly protected. Some media reported that the woman
Speaker 1: who led the call in a TikTok life native video
Speaker 1: making the rounds on social media that vow to start
Speaker 1: poisoning foods and waters of Yuruba and burning people at
Speaker 1: her place of work. Have deleted her TikTok account and
Speaker 1: certain Canada government cannot deport her to Nigeria because she
Speaker 1: has a Canadian citizenship passport. Simon Epper, while reacting to
Speaker 1: the call for her arrest, said, the leadership of pro
Speaker 1: Biafran group Belfire Republic government in exile Brgie has expressed
Speaker 1: interest to went into the matter between Nigerian authority and
Speaker 1: the Canada based Nigerian woman, a Marca patient Somberga, whose
Speaker 1: ulterances went viral for threatening to her.
Speaker 2: Yuruba and Edo people.
Speaker 1: While referring to Artico al Bubaka, Simon Epper said, look
Speaker 1: at this criminal who could not condemn the killing of
Speaker 1: innocent de Bora. Just don't step your foot on Barfa soul.
Speaker 1: Until Belfra becomes an independent state the bear our government
Speaker 1: will defend AMACA against any action taken by the Nigeria
Speaker 1: terrorist state. We equally call on AMACA to immediately contact
Speaker 1: the Bilfra liaison in Canada or anyone with her contact
Speaker 1: should contact the Bilfrag government or myself directly. Tak Amaca,
Speaker 1: we need her contact immediately. She must not panic for
Speaker 1: any reason. The Canada Beast woman asked people of the
Speaker 1: Southeast region of Nigeria, popularly known as Egos, to develop
Speaker 1: a weakened heart and start poisoning Yurubas of the Southwest
Speaker 1: and Venans of the South South by poisoning their foods
Speaker 1: and waters anywhere do see them. Speaking in Pidgin language,
Speaker 1: the woman said, recall me very very well, it is
Speaker 1: time to start poisoning the Yorubas and the Venines. Quote
Speaker 1: poison in all your foods at work. Quote poison in
Speaker 1: all your waters, so that you all will start dying
Speaker 1: one by one. You people will not die one day.
Speaker 1: You people will fall sick for a long time. I
Speaker 1: will put a tapia pier rat poison inside your waters
Speaker 1: and foods.
Speaker 2: You people will never get well.
Speaker 1: This kind of hair tred I have for you people
Speaker 1: will last forever in all your foods. I will put
Speaker 1: a tapia pier as. Others at the meeting reminded her
Speaker 1: of other poisons, including it and die sniper. She continued,
Speaker 1: I will put them in all your foods. If I
Speaker 1: go to work tomorrow, I will put it poison in
Speaker 1: yourba people's food. Go and tell the government that I'm
Speaker 1: in Canada. I'm in Ontario. Hurry up, go first. I
Speaker 1: will put outpier pier. I will put a warm shore
Speaker 1: inside your foods. You will start hearing that your bus
Speaker 1: have died. Then NaNs have died. I'm the one saying it.
Speaker 1: I want equals to have a heart of wicked less
Speaker 1: You people are too quiet, you are too cool. Enough
Speaker 1: is allowed if you have a means of killing them,
Speaker 1: kill them out of the way because they are too foolish.
Speaker 1: They are of no use to society. Lots of prostitutes
Speaker 1: and everything. Earlier in the month, we had reported that
Speaker 1: one of the leaders for the agitation and declaration of
Speaker 1: Bilfra Republic from Nigeria and the Prime Minister of Bilfa
Speaker 1: Government in exile, Simon Eppa, on Tunesday, August twenty at
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, in a video broadcast, released the map
Speaker 1: of the proposed forty states of Bilfa Republic with the
Speaker 1: declaration and naming of Epuma, Alchi and Ale communities which
Speaker 1: are the administrative headquarters of sam West, Esacle West and
Speaker 1: Woman One local government areas of Adol States as Bafra Land.
Speaker 1: Many historians have agreed that in most speaking people dominant
Speaker 1: in some few communities in Ado States were brought into
Speaker 1: the communities like in Banquet community often described as Imoakiri
Speaker 1: by the detered leader of Indigenous people of Biafra Ipop
Speaker 1: Nambi Canu as slaves by beneath slave readers, meaning the
Speaker 1: lands were probably already the ancestral home of adult people
Speaker 1: before the fifteen sixteen centuries when beneath slave raiders brought
Speaker 1: in people from Afar to the border towns. Nade Canoe,
Speaker 1: in an online interview conducted by Dele Mamodu, the founder
Speaker 1: of Ovation magazine years ago before he is re arrested
Speaker 1: by Nigerian security operatives, said billferl Land starts and ends
Speaker 1: where women ty two pieces of rapper. Nandi Cano refused
Speaker 1: to be specific about the mark of the proposed Biafral
Speaker 1: Land as requested by the journalist Dele Mamodul, but insisted
