Pprovost: I as a Yoruba, am seriously hurt that ibos are still being forced to be Nigerians. It's my utmost desire that they have their wish. The development in the west here is not oil money but Cocoa money from our great fathers. We Yorubas had our structures, culture, arts, music and trade and etc systems in place before the white man came to force us into a marriage of force. I read that the ibos were refining crude oil. They had it, we didn't have crude oil. Would we have refined what we didn't have? Of course we had palm kernel and other plants! And we were processing what we had. Some 'omo o ri ru e ri' should not come here and speak baldadash. We are peace-loving people and live with other people peacefully. Moreover, we never ever had anything to prove to anybody. It is however in their process of trying to prove what is not that many of them involve themselves indrug trafficking business that makes them to end up in death rows in other countries. 5 Likes |

Ndigbo are very hardworking, technologically savvy, enterprising, peaceful and above all value the SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE. Just like Japan, Germany and South Korea, it marvels the world how Ndigbo that emerges from the ashes of the war was able to come back better, stronger and United. Today, in Nigeria, Ndigbo has become the technological and commercial giant hub. Places like Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Asaba, Nsukka, Afikpo, Ukwa East and West, Oguta, Mbaise, Umuahia, Arochukwu, etc are blazing trails in all endeavor. Presently, Ndigbo has become the giant leaders in education, sports, entertainment, literature, business administration, science and technology, local export derivatives hub, etc. My advice to Ndigbo is this:do not rest on your oars! You have NEVER been depending on govt and you can't start now. Always seek out for new opportunities, maximize it and dominate it. Always believe in yourself and in your guiding spirit (Chi) who has been taken you (Ndigbo) thus so far. God bless Ndigbo. 17 Likes |

It is a very good write up by Mr Reno on one hand saying thank you to our Igbo brethrens for standing gidigba with Ex-President Jonathan and on the other hand almost saying the truth.I was telling somebody that if Ijaw,Hausa,Idoma,Egun or any other people had found themselves in a war position at that point in time,they would have done things we consider technological especially with the help of white mercenaries that came in to execute the war with them.One thing we must ask ourselves is why could'nt they show at least this tech skills before the war and even after the war.The simple truth is these things though some were exagerated were done with the help of the white mercenaries.The Ogbunigwe is a simple weapon which any science student like me can do...according to the Igbo prof behind it.But I give kudos to the man at that point in time...reading up....and using what he learnt in school to torment the Nigerian side.If it were Yoruba,we would have done more than what the Igbos did because if you go through the Yoruba history,you would see we had always been a couple of steps better than the Igbos even during the regional system of government in which we saw the ingenuity of each region,Yoruba came tops even in this civil period without mincing words,Yoruba controls 70% of the ICT world in Nigeria...if you talk about manufacturing of vehicles,Yoruba has PROFORCE in Ogun state selling to Africa and the world at large even without the help of the govt as Innoson Motors got massively from GEJ which is all good by the way.Visit that link below and know how Igbos lie and exagerate things out of its proportion.I am saying all these because of what xharder whom I know is Ikechu1,Ikengawo,Onenaira etc...he has this grudge with yorubas who are million miles ahead of his tribe then and now no matter what anybody says...the facts are there to be perused ...the underlying factor is that necessity is the mother of invention.The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct. Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it.... http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/03/05/biafra-the-facts-the-fiction/ 2 Likes |

Is there really anything like "superior race?". As in a situation where every human being from a particular nation/ethnicity is NATURALLY BETTER at everything to every other person around them? If you are an enlightened social scientist with a miniature grasp of the concept of 'nature' and 'nurture' in psychology, u will know that it just doesn't make sense to grandstand just for d mere fact u r from a particular ethnic stock/nationality. All I c in many cases is a people practically forcing EVERYBODY around them (with action and words) to accept their superiority (whatever that means) over you. Fine the igbo's have rpoduced some of the best minds to ever come out of Nigeria and indeed Africa but so have other very minority unsung tribes in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Our biggest problem as blacks has always been our natural propensity to trumpet ourselves beyond necessary. I for one would never accept that anybody is NATURALLY better than me in EVERYTHING. Anyone climbing that high horse over others is simply unenlightened. 1 Like |

Every so often, somebody would rise up and sum up the courage to speak truth to power about Nigeria. I believe this article meets those rare occasions, and the truthfulness of the writer should be applauded. All the instances he cited are all verifiable and can be supported by empirical researches. Those who lived within the enclave of Biafra and survived that atrocious war are living witnesses to the truth about the Igbo and Biafra technological feats that was performed during the war. Reading through this article, you can understand why Igbos feel disenchanted with Nigeria as you go through the article line by line with open mind. Igbos are like free birds, and free birds don't like to be caged. They are free thinkers and doers and producers of intellectual properties and risk takers. They abhor handouts and eschew redundancy and laziness. All these abundant Igbo energies are bottled up and capped, by the Nigerian government led by those who prosecuted that war because they are still afraid of what the Igbos are capable of accomplishing if allowed to roam with their thoughts. It is because of these restrictions that Igbos are incompatible with the rest of Nigeria's vision which lacks the clarity of purpose. Biafrans should forcefully separate from Nigeria to attain their greatness in a space of time. 10 Likes |

This is a fine write up by Reno. It is factual and honest. It did not sound divisive or seek to elevate one tribe over another. I am Igbo in all ramification. Nwa'afo ka'mbu But I think it's important to sound that despite knowing how blessed we are as a people, it is wrong to feel and act superior over others. Whom God has blessed, no man can curse. We are blessed to be blessings to others and others are blessed to be blessings to us. I don't buy the inferior/superior ideology and as much as this Artcle by Reno might innocuously make that prop up, we should guard against it. Many of us who are privy to history have felt angered over how Igbos are/were treated. We have called Nigeria a contraption, we have called it a zoo, we have demanded for a sovereign state. But the reality remains that we are still here. We live, breathe, birth, work and eat in Nigeria. We should start seeing everyone as brothers and sisters. There is no need to feel that you are better than anyone, even if all indices point to that. Feeling that way is making room for pride. And pride always goes before a fall. Thank you. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

First of all i do not beef the Igbos and yes i am Yoruba. I laugh at such articles and mindset. Reno is just a big fool i repeat no African tribe is technologically advanced. The igbos are very hardworking, talented and smart that i agree on but to say they built Jet fighters and drilled and refined crude oil is just bullshit. Only the whites and Asians do technology, why did it take Anglo-dutch company (Shell) to know Oil was buried beneath our soil, why didnt the igbos use their own technology to discover it. Or was the Hausa and Yoruba holding you down before the Civil war? Igbos i do not hate you but stop allowing these fools like Reno Omokri to stroke your ego by lying to you. 3 Likes |
