I was happy that man got spanked . Am not a supporter of politicians but stop blaming the entire Nigeria for your woes .

I've spent significant years in the East and their federal roads are bullcrap but their leaders are given allocation where did the money go to?
Truth to be Told Biafran Governors are the most corrupt they milk their people to the last.

Gandollar is far better than then . Biafra might not last for a year if these same set of leaders are made to occupy offices when they finally get it.

We are not talking of state allocation. Best roads in the east are state roads.

We are talking of infrastructures other regions are getting for free. Power plants, Gas, roads, rail and airport.

Why must SE struggle, beg to get same?.

Biafra will be better because those leaders will be held responsible and will have no place to run to.

Today they will run to Abuja.

It has been healed but tolling 2nd Niger bridge but never 3rd mainland bridge?

It as been healed with the SE never produced some top positions in the country?

It has been healed while other regions have functional airport but not the SE?

Your sense of justice is amazing. But you need to see a doctor for rationality checks.
that's true sometimes I use to pity South East, no airport and other federal government infrastructure

True. The problem now is that whatsoever sense of "unity" the country had has been destroyed, now everybody will feel empowered to pursue an ethnic agenda at the expense of the country. That's probably why the North is so hesitant to agree to zoning to the south

There're some history that don't need to be told.
How can you tell the story of the Asaba massacre, the land and sea blocked propelled by Obafemi Awolowo which lead to the starvation of millions of children to death without waking up old injuries. Abeg,lets bury the history.

And if i may ask:Can dat history ever be forgotten


After the war instead of things to fall in place for peace to reign...unfortunately same issues dat caused the war is still playing out today.....


How long will it take us to realise dat we dont even know where we are heading to in this country


Everything seems so messed up....

Can you tell me the name of the International airport located in the North Central states? grin

An airport has been built in Enugu, so all this Una tears nah just like babies tears. In 2023, Igbos won't be handed the presidency, you will fight it out with other tribes.

Don't even go there, a contract was awarded for feasibility studies on how to add a second runway to an underperforming airport in the North while that of Enugu has been under construction for over 5 years now.
one of the top 5 busiest airport in Nigeria can't handle international flights -just because it's in the East and funny enough , there is no plan to change that.
Should we talk of railways ? Nigerian civil service ? or even political appointments? A governor in the East even declared publicly while commissioning a road that the people of his state should know that they are alone as long as federal government impact is concerned.
I for one am happy with the situation cause it making some of our brothers realise that even if the forget where they are from, Nigeria won't.

Nigeria didn't do any bad thing against the Biafrans.

There is no country in the world were someone will just rise and say he is taking is region/people out of the country the way ojukwu did, and it won't lead to war.

When Ironsi was the head of state of Nigeria, Isaac Adaka Boro decided his people are been marginalise in the Eastern region, so he declared the Niger Delta region as an independent country.

War was declared on Boro and his men by Maj. Gen. Ironsi. Col. Ojukwu should have learnt from Boro ordeal.
So what you rigmaroled up there shows that the wound has been healed

You don't understand what he's saying doesn't mean you should tell him to shut up. He is speaking from a historical point of view and is making a lot of sense. It's unfortunate younand I Might it be able to have a conversation outside of this forum, I would have elaborated further on what he means. Then maybe you would understand the importance of history in this process called nation building

My guy ask your father again, the igbos in Delta suffered 99.99% of the casualties in that war and they were not killed by Biafra soldiers, I don't know your tribe in Delta but I will advise you to go back and ask your father to tell you the truth.

Take your lame ranting away.

Igbos were in PDP for 16years.

Where in NPN for years...So where were they playing bitter politics in their houses?

They formed PDP that gave Obasanjo a chance while from Kuje prision.

People like you are evil and dangerous to relate with.

You are now exposed and literally shamed for your plain treachery.
you should be ashamed of yourself for saying igbos they gave OBJ a chance, go and check records and see how igbos rejected and never voted for Ojukwu ... The great Ojukwu formed a political party but his people never supported the man instead they supported PDP a party formed by Fulani/ Hausa ppl ... useless people a man who fought for their freedom connected against Obasanjo and they still voted and supported OBJ ... now they are shooting marginalization... bitter politics is not good

The fair truth is that more than 70 percent of African countries were made with the same process..you can't say their end will come sooner....
The issue with Nigeria is the structure in which it was formed...for true healing to start that structure needs to change.. Nigeria isn't the problem..it structure that governs it is the problem that why ever region including the main benefactor agrees that there is a big need for restructuring

Which country? Is Nigeria a country? Nigeria is a nation within nation, people were brought together against their consent and will and u are saying they should never demand their right when they no longer feel at ease.

Which country or nation won't put session clause in it's constitution? U think people are happy in this contraption called Nigeria? No! Whether now or later the end will surely come

I am curious to know what significant investment did Tinubu's alliance with Buhari bring to Southwest Nigeria.

I am not referring to political contracts that benefit loyal party members, I am asking of projects that benefit the average Southwesterner. Please be truthful and direct in your response, thanks.
anonymous1759:




No one is marginalizing the IGBOs except themselves stop spewing thrash . You've representative in all spheres of government hold them accountable And end this self pity attitude.

IGBOs held key positions under GEJ what did they do?
Tinubu ditched his party 2011 for GEJ and got nothing for the SW . Then you guys ( IGBOs ) where happy with him .

By 2015 aside from Tinubu's selfish interest he fought for his people and join hands in booting GEJ out you guys hate him since then . But the truth is that Tinibu alliance with Buhari brought some significant investment in the Southwest
Hold your leaders accountable .

You are now changing the narrative after being drawn to your treachery.

Igbos are different, they didn't support Ojukwu because he had no chance of going through.

It would have been the same tribal bigot like you that will say, that Igbos voted their kinsman even when he had no chance.
