I WAS BANNED AND MY COMMENT WAS REMOVED. O.P., & Seun WHY? Not that I wrote to support secession or threatened anybody. Others have posted about much worse. Not even a single message, public or private to inform me of any wrong doing or a chance to defend my opinions or prove my innocence, eh! I know the same thing is happening to others. Is this the new normal?

Sunday Oliseh should go and coach any of the African countries' teams. Just like Amụnike coached Tanzania and qualified them for the AFCON and Keshi qualified Togo for World cup. If he succeeds people will be clamoring for him to take the Super Eagles job. He does not need to do a media campaign. |

ipodstinks: Yes, Igbo people are not like that. It's not about having one or few persons owning the entire wealth, while the masses wallow in abject poverty. The Southeast has the least poverty rate in the country. Secondly, if you are able to count a little more than a few ten or twenty richest, you will encounter many Igbos in there. And these are private people who worked hard on their own, even with harsh, antagonistic and punitive government policies, unlike these so called richest, who enjoyed a great deal of government subsidy and sponsorship, enforced artificial monopolies and preferential treatment. 1 Like |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Trump Wants Americans To Believe Biden Is A Radical Leftist. It's A Tough Sell. by chijiblaze(m): 7:28pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
Basoenewokoma: I can't stop myself laughing as I read what has been written here. The OP opens..."Biden ran a...Campaign..." Biden did not run anything! He is not capable of running anything! Of course there is a campaign but Biden is not the one running it. Biden today, is incapable of running or controlling anything talk less of running his campaign or the United States of America. Everyone who has watched Biden recently knows it, even his closest supporters can no longer deny it, that Biden is suffering from severe case of Dementia and his mental capabilities keep on declining more and more each day. Everybody knows that Biden's campaign is running him rather than the other way around. This state of mental decline surprisingly makes Joe Biden the perfect candidate for a certain part of the political divide which believe that he can be easily be controlled. - Biden is just an empty vessel in which these political groups can pour whatever they like inside him. He is the perfect Marionette that is to be controlled by the deep state elements. Biden has no original thoughts of his own, what he says is only what they tell him to say. So Biden has no original policies of his own it's only what they tell him to do that he is able to do! Many might argue that they've known Biden for decades and that he always seems to be the kind of person who is not so far left and can reach out across the political divide to work with even his opponents on the right, true, however That Biden is gone! This is not the same Biden of the Obama years. This new Biden is a puppet and not his own man. And who are these people who would be in control of Biden? We saw how he "defeated" other contestants with the help of the Establishment. We all know how he performed in the early primaries before help came to him from hidden places, we all know how he stumbled throughout the debates. That shows that the establishment owns him and he can do nothing without the establishment. That establishment has now been taken over by the far-far left of Antifa Black-Lives, AOC's squad, and the globalist deep state. Just like the case of the hand of Esau, voice of Jacob, they are using the face of Biden and his name recognition just to achieve their aim of getting into power. Biden exists just to carry out their policies of socialis-communism, open borders, illegal aliens first, and the new dangerous one of Defunding the Police and its attendant attack on law enforcement (abolish ICE). If Biden wins, he would not be the one in charge of his own administration. That's what Trump means when he says that Biden is now far left socialist and his assessment is very much spot on. Even Bernie has acknowledged that Biden has shifted ground to include most of his policies, as he puts it, - Biden will be the most "progressive" president ever since FDR. Talk of Polls? Like the Hillary polls (98% she will win)! We all know how it turned out! |
Politics / Re: Leaked Intelligence Report On Nigeria/niger Delta/biafra/middle Belt/west by chijiblaze(m): 12:30am On Jul 13, 2020 |
It is easy to blame or criticise Nnamdi Azikiwe for the actions he took or decisions he failed to take because we are live in the time of the aftermath of the events that took place decades ago. With the gift of hindsight, we know how everything played out. But imagine you were there in 1956, when Nigeria wad in the middle of the struggle for independence and emergence as a nation, you don’t know about the events that would happen ten years later in 1966. Would you still support secession? Yes, Nnamdi Azikiwe made some mistakes. The mistake was to believe in Nigeria. It was an honest mistake, a good mistake to make. In the Fifties and Sixties, the wind of independence was blowing all over the world. New countries were about emerging in Africa and Nigeria was to be one. This was a time when opinions among white Europeans were mere expressions of doubt that the black man could handle the task of governing himself, nation building et.c. Azikiwe was one of those out to prove, under the watching eyes of the world that it can be done and Nigeria stood as a prime example of what a successful black country could be like. Azikiwe believed that with the vast human and natural resources available, We could be a black African country respected all over the world. However Secession, especially of the Northern region would cut the resources and the country in half, and neither half would achieve those aims. Imagine a country just gained independence and next moment it slits into pieces, what message would it send to those watching and questioning the capabilities of the black people? Azikiwe made the mistake of thinking that the words of the national anthem actually meant something significant: “though tribe and tongue may differ in brotherhood we stand” and that the tribal differences may be overcome by the shared common destiny, just as it the case when you find yourself outside the country studying in Europe or America, where you suffer the same racism and have no time to consider tribal differences. Zik made the mistake of thinking the people he was dealing with were matured adult political minds and would work to actualize the national dreams. He grossly underestimated how much ethnicism, tribalism and nepotism was entrenched into their minds! It is easy to blame Aguiyi-Ironsi with the gift of hindsight, but. The coup effectively divided the country into two, with more than half of the country (the north) almost entirely under the control of the coupists (Nzeogwu). The majority of Army installations were in the North and country feared they could march down south and complete the coup that was in the process of being foiled. The coup plotters were very popular among the country’s population even in the North. Their actions were supported openly or secretly among the Armed forces. At the time, anybody or everybody could be suspected of planning a coup or sympathising with the coup plotters. Aguiyi-Ironsi’s actions were taken to forestall further bloodshed and possible war. Had he allowed a civilian to take over, then the soldiers even those not officially part of the coup would feel encouraged to continue with the wanton killing of the perceived corrupt and nepotist politicians. Moreover, another reason why Aguiyi-Ironsi took power for himself was because of the issue of who the likely civilian who would have taken over. The government in the 1st republic was formed by a coalition of the mainly Northern NPC & mainly south-eastern NCNC. When the Prime Minister was declared missing, Parliament couldn’t form a quorum to sit and select a replacement Prime Minister. The cabinet ministers tried to get someone to act in place of the PM. The NPC ministers put foward Zanna Bukar Dipcharima, the NCNC coalition partners insisted on K.O. Mbadiwe. No decision could be taken without the agreement of both partners talk less of selecting a new PM & head of government and the two camps were nowhere close to an agreement. Time was of the essence, events were moving fast, half of the country was in the hands of the coupist, people detested the politicians and something had to be done, fast. |

hammer3: Abua/ Odua L.G.A. belong to the Abua/ Odua ethnic group or Abua and Odua ethnic groups. No. Ogu/ Bolo is considered to be Okrika, an Ijoid ethnic group related to the Kalabari. However, many people from Ogu / Bolo trace their ancestry to the Igbo people. And the Igbo language is widely spoken in Ogu / Bolo. So they are considered by many to be Igborized Ijaws, or maybe Ijorized Igbos. |

Culture / Re: The Fulanis, Africa's Most Influential Tribe by chijiblaze(m): 11:39am On Mar 23, 2019 |
Please let me know, How does one tell a Fulani from a Hausa person? Is it through skin tone? Course you could have a dark skinned Fulani and maybe a fair skinned Hausa. Though rare, but it could happen. Could it be by language? Most Fulani people have abandoned their Fulfude language and massively adopted the speaking of Hausa. Is it from the region that they are located? Fulanis spread from the northwest to the northeast of Nigeria. Ie everywhere. The spread even extends outside of the country's borders to Ghana, Mali, Guinea and also Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Chad. In so doing they are so mixed up with the Hausas and live in the same places. Is it by the names they bear? Both Hausa and Fulani people bear mostly Arabic names. Or the names of the town or regions close to them (Tafawa Balewa katsina & kano) and sometimes Fulani people bear Hausa names like Yaro Adua. Is it through body structure? Everybody from the same ethnic group cannot possibly have the same body shape. So how does someone, from the Southern part of Nigeria tell them apart? I only recently discovered that Former Nigerian President Al hajj Shehu Shagari was not Hausa but Fulani! Shocking to me. Same with all the other former heads of state from the North we had erstwhile imagined to be Hausa with the exception of Murtala Mohammed and maybe Yakubu Gowon! That's if he isn't. Say same for all the northern state governors and Emirs even the richest man in the country nay continent. And even much more difficult to understand is why the majority Hausa ethnic group seems to be very comfortable with and staunchly supportive of being ruled and controlled at almost all levels by the minority Fulani ethnic group. Isn't it akin to the tail wagging the dog? |

It should be noted that many of those northerners are in fact not actually Nigerians. Due to the porous borders we have, people can roam as much as they like and enter the country from Niger �� Republic, others from Chad ��, Mali ��, Burkina Faso ��, even Sudan �� Central African Republic �� and Algeria ��. But then all of these people speak Hausa and claim to be northerners. All of those "fake oyibo" begging all over Nigeria, where do you think they come from? Even the Fulani people currently ruling us in this country came all the way from Guinea �� and Senegal ��. There is that rumour that refuses to go away that one of the most feared past military dictator this country ever had was in fact not a Nigerian but a Chadian! Yes! It is true that Northerners have high birth rates, but then the fact that there is a massive illegal movement of people into the country should not be ignored. We need to BUILD A WALL along our northern border and the lake Chad to stop them and stem the tide of illegal immigration into the country and put a slow down to the massive population explosion in the North. 1 Like |
