1949 Massacre
On the 18th November 1949, 21 miners and a bystander were shot dead at Iva valley coal mine, Enugu, Nigeria.
It all began when the miners decided to fight for back-pay owed to them and to protest harsh working conditions.
Chimaroke Nnamani came on Twitter and said to young people in Enugu, "You run social media, we run the government."
Chimaroke, when the people are through with you, you will be running back to Florida.
Ndi Enugu East, do it for Oyibo.
Send Ebeano packing for good.
Meet 18 year old Ugwu Chiagoziem from Enugu, he studied Electronics at GTC Enugu where he majored in power electronics.
The inverter they use at home was built by him and he's been building other things as well including powerbanks, hybrids battery systems
Professor David Uzo Mba has been appointed by Birmingham City University, UK, as its new Vice-Chancellor.
He is the 2nd Black Vice Chancellor in the UK, ever, after Professor Charles Egbu from Anambra state.
Talk about Igbo excellence.
To be clear, Fulani militia killed people in Enugu state less than 2 weeks ago, and no media outlet carried it, no government spoke about it, not even our own.
What is happening in Imo is only being reported by Twitter. Again, media blackout and government silence.
Coal was discovered in Enugu in 1909 and that led to the founding of Port Harcourt 3 years later. By 1915,the first export of Enugu coal left for Britain through Port Harcourt.
A railway was built between Enugu and PH within 3 years...
Outside politics, what Peter Obi has done today in visiting the family of Oyibo Chukwu is commendable. A show of empathy and support. Such compassion has been lacking in our politics for too long.
Okwute, dalu.
Enugu, you protested for Mohbad. ✅️
When are you protesting for Bonaventure Nwodo?
Remember him?
The young man, the police killed at Ogbete carrying out the crackdown on protesters order the Peter Mba administration gave against those who spoke up about his illegal sealing
Someone that isn't blocked, please tag Chimaroke Nnamani.
This is the Senator-elect for Enugu East Senatorial District.
The district Chimaroke swore he would never lose to anyone in Enugu.
Man is not God.
Goodnight Ebeano political gang.
SARS cannot extort in the North, the young people there would burn them to the ground before the news makes it online and they'd have the support of their leaders.
They only operate in the South because they know nothing would happen and your leaders don't also care.
Rainbownet Nigeria Limited, Cosmos FM, Capital City Automobile Nigeria Limited, and Renaissance University Teaching Hospital could have all been state-owned as our money built ALL of them!
Instead, Chimaroke Nnamani made them his and eventually forfeited ALL. What a shame.
Southeast Governors should stop being cowards and declare May 30th an official day for the remembrance of Biafra and all our people murdered during the Biafran genocide.
Stop being cowards and identify with your people, you spineless lot.
You will see bastard children of one million fathers try to suggest that ESN killed Ahmed Gulak, they will try and fail.
Until the government are ready to fish out who the UGM are, we will not tag them to ESN or IPOB. Not today, not ever.
#BiafraHeroesDay2021
The Police in Enugu so far have been cute.
They are controlling traffic for us, helping us with crowd control.
Good job so far.
Enugu State is in the hands of God.

The Before is close to meeting the after.
This is how far we've come in our touch up of the house belonging to Gentleman Mike Ejeagha.
Thank you, Charles and Amarachi for leading the planning, and to all donors and volunteers on ground from across Alaigbo.
They are calling what DCP Kyari is doing in Imo State "sanitation"
They are killing and wiping away our young men because they want their own country not because they committed any crime.
They are removing the would be protectors of Alaigbo and nobody is saying anything.

Ndi Enugu, biko until further notice, stay off these streets.
The boys that took over today, they had them chanting "Biafra" and other things. It's a set up.
They won't bother arresting you, they will shoot you and claim IPOB.

Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party in Enugu state has formally sent his petition to the election tribunal in Enugu today against INEC and Peter Mbah of the PDP, and the PDP.
This is one to keep an eye on.
Will the court sack Mbah?
Will Edeoga be declared winner?
In Enugu State a transition chairperson appointed by Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi the state Governor, has given out wheelbarrows on HIRE PURCHASE to people of Nsukka LGA.
Enugu State is in the hands of God.
The Nigerian army went to the house of a man named Ejiofor in Akpugo Enugu state and set it on fire. The compound is deserted currently.
What did Ejiofor do? He encouraged young people to resist Fulani invaders and secure their homes.
NSUDE PYRAMIDS
On the Udi highlands of Enugu state, the Nsude pyramids once stood as a testimony to Black Africa’s level of cultural enlightenment.
In 1935, G. I. Jones, an anthropoligist and colonial administrator took pictures of the Nsude pyramids, ancient Igbo pyramids, .
Even though we didn't want to let her address us, it is worthy to note that the Enugu State Deputy Governor held up a banner in support of our movement.

In the past 5 years, the following Nigerian public officials have been sacked or prosecuted for not having or presenting forged (NYSC) certificates.
1. Mrs Kemi Adeosun, former Minister of Finance, who presented a forged NYSC exemption certificate, was sacked in September 2018.
We are trying to establish contact with people around the girl to find out the true story.
We've been informed that the story about losing her brother/s to SARS is false, kindly disregard.
@frvnklin
made these shots.
Abba Kyari is burning homes down in Imo tagging them "ESN camps" as pointed out by the "survivor" of the gun fight they had a few days ago that said Kanu instructed them through one dead guy to "burn the South East"
Ironic that DCP Abba Kyari is the one doing the burning now
After Kingsley Moghalu described the genocidal Yakubu Gowon that supervised the murder of millions of his own people as someone whose "unique role in our national life is a unifying one" many people knew immediately where to put him.
He is a smart man, but he misfires, too.

There's a man called Jack Solo in Enugu.
He served as Commissioner for lands before they put him in as chairman of Udenu LGA, the Governor's LGA, from where they now wanted to send him to the HOA.
The LP candidate there retired Jack, but that result has been manipulated...
Igbo Ingenuity
From Nnewi to Oba, Mgbuka Obosi, and Onitsha, all in Anambra state, are dotted along streets and major road sides, vehicle re-assembling companies, where young Igbo men exhibit ingenious talents by piecing together various motor parts into full fledged vehicles.
The governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has declared an end to sit-at-home in the state effective from Monday, June 5, 2023, saying such orders were restricting creativity, entrepreneurship, and productivity in the state.

Everyone has moved on from Ike Ekweremadu.
His Enugu residence no longer has sycophants queuing for days.
Ike is coming, they kept saying, they've now all moved on with their lives, seeking another benefactor to eat to the ground.
Impunity only survives in Nigeria.
Surely, Chimaroke Nnamani is alleging serious crimes of rigging by the PDP in Enugu state. Is this not enough to trigger an investigation?
The only thing Chimaroke hasn't said is who killed who.
Is it until he alleges murder that an investigation will be opened?
Are We Ready?
A Thread!
1. The woman that tested negative for

in Enugu has reportedly died and according to a message has been credited to her daughter is accusing the staff at the Isolation Center and the government of negligence.
This is the isolation Center.
If you've come across how Seyi Makinde in Oyo and one other Governor from the South West have replied the FG on this Amotekun matter then you'd truly appreciate the depth of the tragedy of leadership that has befallen Alaigbo.
Since Sunday our boys were killed and not one word.
Ikenga Oyi na Omambala, Ebubedike!
Chief Pete Edochie, MON is 74 years today.
The Nteje Anambra -born Nollywood legend retired as Director of Programmes at Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS). He is currently a member, Board of Directors, Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS).
DG NYSC insists that Enugu state governor elect Peter Mba wasn't issued a certificate by the commission and that whatever certificate he's parading is not authentic.
This comes days after news broke that Peter Mba has sued the commission for Misrepresentation of Facts.

Chimaroke Nnamani, your defeat is a victory for ndi Enugu as a whole.
Liberation at last.
Chimaroke Nnamani has called Governor Ugwuanyi by name, addressing him as a "shame" for losing his polling unit. 🤣
The same Ugwuanyi he went on National TV to call his leader and praise for bringing him out of political retirement.
Chimaroke is an "ungrateful boy"
All their faces, glowing with such light.

The wisdom of the elderly and the strength of the young.
A perfect balance.

You won't pay them, won't provide what they need to work but you want them to always be in front of things as human Shields.
In the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, just last week, they ran away from a suspected case because they weren't equipped.
Stop complaining that Lagos wants to kill your business.
Bring it down to Enugu.
City is full of young, vibrant smart people. Way less pollution than you're used to.Way better security.
You'd definitely be able to afford office space.
Sights to see and food to eat.
However you look at it, whatever your feelings are about it,
Nnamdi Kanu has done what no "elected" Governor in Alaigbo could EVER have the balls to do.
With or without them, we must always REMEMBER.

The Labour Party in Enugu can call Chimaroke Nnamani as an expert witness when they go to court about the elections.
Chimaroke apparently knows where all the rigging was done and is aggrieved that he wasn't rigged in.
The Labour Party should turn him into their expert witness.

"Causing ripples"
Boy you give yourself too much credit.
But you and people who think like you should know, that never again would anyone be permitted to treat our people the way they want because they are friends with someone.
As Edeoga approaches the court, the case is about to get more interesting for ndi Enugu o.
LP already has about 16 HOA members and 7 NASS members. Momentum is still with them. It never left in all honesty.
Ndi PDP, are you ready?
It's about to go down!
Joseph Oseloka "Hannibal" Achuzie; Nwoke di mana Nwoke di kwa.
Achuzie also nicknamed "Air Raid" was the most successful Commander of Biafran forces against Nigerian forces in the Biafran genocide.
From a part of Alaigbo today known as Anioma, Achuzie was fearless.
"Yesterday I visited coal camp for vehicle maintenance and I met this two street hustlers!
Asked them how they started their business, "we borrowed 25k each to start and we have repayed 10k back to the man who gave us the Loan".

What will you do if I give you 150k
If Chimaroke Nnamani were governor, the Metropolitan might not exist.
A man who basically bought over NTA and controlled ETV with his "To God be the Glory" ads.
If you lived outside Enugu and only relied on the media during his administration, you'd think this was Wakanda.
There's a thing with how Ogadagidi speaks the Igbo language that is if not anything, orgasmic.
Now listen to the end, what are your thoughts about what he said?
Demas Nwoko is an artist, designer, architect and master builder.
He's from dumuje Ugboko, Aniocha North local council of Delta State.
In this new interview with BBC News Igbo, he questions the new style of building houses now that doesn't take into account the climate.
In 1999, two members of the Enugu state HOA petitioned Pres. Obasanjo to carry out mental assessment on Chimaroke Nnamani.
They believed he was nursing a mental health issue due to many breakdowns, episodes, and outbursts they witnessed.
Everyone in Enugu knows this.

Not like they have any real influence or even care, but the PDP has to field a different candidate for Enugu East. Stop forcing excrement down the throat of the people while calling it cake.
Reject Chimaroke before the ballot, or the people will do it for you, no problem.
Did you hear the story of Peter Obi at St Theresa's cathedral Nsukka last month?
During the roll call of dignitaries, the audience would not stop clapping and jubilating when his name was called. Many politicians like him there might have felt terribly jealous and embarrassed.
Yakubu Gowon and the Cement Armada.
The ‘Cement Armada’ was a major Nigerian government scandal which culminated in hundreds of cement-laden ships arriving en masse at Lagos, creating almost a two-year port congestion during the height of the 1970s oil boom.
Enugu had a governor who didn't attempt to hoodwink the people with any religious tagline.
We've had "To God be the glory" where so many people were called to glory. And "Enugu is in the hands of God."
Sulli baby just focused on work and oringo. Proper work-life balance.
Some reports that we can't independently verify at this moment indicate that the Military "packed" Igbo boys from the Imo State University (IMSU) this evening.
Students are terrified and on the run.
#BiafraHeroesDay2021
They murdered Ndigbo at Emene and tagged them IPOB. South East Governors unlooked, same for Aba.
They raided from the air in Orlu. South East Governors unlooked. But the Supreme Court Governor arrested Iberiberism and South East Governors intervened barely 12 hours later.
Akeredolu in a space of two weeks has given the FG back to back and most recently on an event concerning Alaigbo.
What have we heard our own Governors say?
Absolutely nothing. Deafening silence. They think they are doing us. When this rain starts, it will beat everybody.
Just so you don't forget.
The Federal government of Nigeria is trying to create insurgency in the South East to justify the tag of terrorism they put on IPOB without basis so that Nations won't grant them asylum any further.
And our Governors are in support of this.
The abandoned International Conference Centre, Enugu. Chimaroke Nnamani's last white elephant project before leaving office.
Sullivan Chime should have completed it. There was no reason to leave it.
Ugwuanyi kept on budgeting billions per year for the completion, odiewgu.
The PDP is dead in Enugu state.
The only path to resurrection is
Peter Mbah outperforming Sullivan Chime by a million miles.
LP members defecting is not probable.
In the morning, the Labour Party had around 59% of HOA seats, this evening, they have around 66%.

Why can't the cowardly pretenders that call themselves Governors of Alaigbo not join the people in remembering the millions of us Nigeria killed?

We can't have men on mufti with guns parading these streets at this time.
