With the benefit of hindsight, we now all know that Nigeria turned out to be a monumental disaster

Ojukwu may not have succeeded in getting his people out of Nigeria, but history has since proved him right for trying and get his people out of Nigeria

He saw that Nigeria would never work, and he was right.

If Zik were alive to see the Nigeria of today, he would have regretted ever fighting for independence

Bitterkola100:
the most foolish statement i have heard is that the law doesn't recognize south south or south east.
Paul of psquare said the same thing ans i jist shook my head.

If the constitution doesn't recognize those regions which constitution is now backing federal character, which constitution recognized South east development commission?

Guys like this are funny. This has nothing to to do with federal character, federal character comes with every federation. A development commission can be called any name, the constitution recognises the commission, not the name

The point is that South South and South are not recognised in the constitution of Nigeria. They are not even geopolitical zones as no law backs their existence. They are mere geographical expressions

The only thing the constitution recognises is 774 LGA's, 36 states, and Abuja. Any other thing is make-belief.

If I like, I can get Kebbi and Katsina and call them North North, or get Oyo and Osun and call them West West, they don't mean anything but a geographical expression not backed by any law

The constitution of Nigeria does not recognise anything called South East or South South

So anyone worried about being carved out of a zone that is not recognised by law, and put in another zone also not recognised by law, has got to be a total idiot

Reno is a typical brainless African

The white man came from Europe to create "Nigeria" by shooting, killing, bombing and starving Africans

Now it is the African who is ready to starve, kill, bomb and shoot his fellow African to uphold the same "Nigeria" created by the white man from Europe

Who did this to us? Are we cursed as Africans?

Igbo:
Reno Omokri likes giving Wotowoto to these people

The same people you cannot do "one Nigeria" without?

One good thing about it all is that Tinubu's supporters is that they will buy fuel for N1000 like me

Everyone will suffer equally, hunger does not care about who is Batified

South East and South South are not recognised by the constitution.

So anyone who is worried about being carved out of a zone not recognised by law, and put in another zone not recognised by law, is a total fool

Bebigiby1:
The fact that those you mentioned are been incarcerated, used as scapegoats while their rights are abused, should galvanize Nigerians to troop out in mass on October 1 to demand for their release....

Unfortunately, Nigerians are united to level

Agitating for self determination peace is guaranteed in international and local laws, just like peaceful protest

But in Nigeria, the Nigerian government has turned self determination and peaceful protest into acts of terrorism, even though both are legal

Nigeria is a lost cause, and the day Nigeria breaks up will be a glorious day

Nobody cares about the fool called Ijele, Nigeria is happening to him. He will gain first hand knowledge about how Nigeria works, from detention

The foolish Ijele guy was a useful anti-Igbo agent to the APC Buhari administration, and they protected him. He felt invincible. His downfall was when Buhari's administration left power, and the Tinubu administration had no time for his antics

That's when all those he defamed, criminally defamed, lied against, cyberstalked, threatened and bullied online, wrote several petitions against him, and he landed in hot water

Now all those who were encouraging him to continue with his anti-Igbo rhetoric have abandoned him in detention. Nobody is even will to put up his 50 million Naira bail

Serves the fool right

Nobody cares about the guy, but I salute Sowore for showing such maturity.

spearman:


Learn Ibo history here:

The Origin Of Ibo
Long long ago, Ibos lived West of the Niger river with everyone else. Spearheaded by the Binis who have had an insane abhorrence for cannibalism, a proclamation was made by all nations all the way from the Volta down to the Niger Delta prohibiting the practice i.e. cannibalism. Many stubborn tribes fiercely refused to give up the practice of cannibalism and so were chased out with vicious ferocity. Most of these tribes were chased into the Congo region but a few of them were stranded did not go with the other cannibals and continued to linger around.

A decision was reached by all the other nations of Bini, Yoruba, Ashanti etc to banish the remnant cannibal tribes into the empty Forest of Evil Spirits as the East of the Niger was known. These are the Ibos of today and that is why they remained isolated for most of their existence till this day in the habitat known today as the South East Nigeria.

Oh really? Now look below and see what the Igbos did with their "evil forest". That's Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba. None of them have ever been capital of anywhere.

Now show me anywhere in your Region, that was never capital of anywhere, that is on the level of Onitsha, Nnewi or Aba

Show us anywhere in Nigeria, outside the the SE, that compares to just Onitsha, that was never capital of anywhere

You will never catch up with Igbos, no matter how hard you try. That's why you guys have to talk of ancient history, because you have nothing to boast of today

Electric cars are the future. Petrol and diesel cars are being phased out, and environmentally friendly, energy efficient electric cars are taking over.

With sky high cost of petrol and diesel, one would think that Innoson's recent launching of electric cars would be a game changer. However, I'm not sure if the timing is right

Electric cars in a country struggling to generate
5 thousand mega watts of electricity? When South Africa generates nearly 60 thousand mega watts?

Innoson should have introduced his electric cars in South Africa, Nigeria is not yet ready. This is about business, not sentiments

Kobojunkie:
How are you certain those are what the police called them —live bombs— and the content of the bottles are in fact petrol? How are you certain the cameraman was even aware of what he was taking pictures of? Look, you forget that the context here is Nigeria so anything goes. That, however, does not mean any tale is acceptable. You claim the police are trying to blackmail IPOB, then provide proof, not conjecture.

Guy be practical. Nobody on earth brings together 5 bombs he just recovered from armed attackers, which might explode at any time, for photo OP

The only way this would happen is if the person knew quite well they are not bombs, and staged the entire thing to sell a false narrative

If A bomb is found in your compound today, you're not going to ask if it is live or not. You won't be near that compound

But someone else is telling you he brought together the 5 bombs he recovered, to do photo-shoot!

Haha!

confusedlady:


Gidgiddy,
You are a low down shameless purveyor of lies and falsehood. A revisionist of history like your forebears Uche Chukumerije and Chinua Achebe. You can only fool mindless IPOB illiterates like yourself.
Realise you are on a forum populated by educated and enlightened people, this is not an IPOB meeting being conducted for illiterate traders in Ariaria market space.

Unfortunately for people like you, we are now in age of social media. The Lagos/Ibadan expressway media and their Nothern cohorts can no longer sell falsehood

Anyone can Google the aburi agreement, read it, then Google Decree 14 to see where Gowon broke it

Kobojunkie:
1. I don't believe the Police, of course, but that does not mean I will simply believe any take you spew regarding what may have happened without evidence backing your claim

As for police supposedly picking live bombs, no be that country wey one police man--- was his name Sunday or Monday -- picked up a bag that was suspected to have contained a bomb, only to get himself blown to bits in an instant? ,🙄

2. Most every Nigerian out there is aware of how dubious the NOF really is. We are talking of the same dingbats that came up with a fake bomb threat in Lagos less than 24 hours before Aug 1st commencement of the EndBadGivernance protest -- Nigerian police cannot be trusted.

3. Your take is build on many suppositions abeg. Make you do some real investigating abeg, before you being th we tales on.

The Policeman you are talking about reached into a bag not sure of its contents. But here, the Nigerian Police picked up 5 live bombs, neatly arranged them, put petrol next to them and took pictures

All the while knowing that one false move would have resulted in 5 explosions that would have killed everyone around there. Why? Why would they risk their lives this way? What was the rush? It would have taken bomb specialists several hours, if not days, just to diffuse one bomb to make it safe, let alone 5

It becomes plain to see that whatever those things were, they were not bombs. Not even the craziest Policeman would bring 5 live bombs together for Photo OP

This was a photo OP done to sell a false narrative, its plain to a blind man.

They brought 5 live bombs and petrol together? If you were the Camera man, would you be there?

@Bolded,
Early morning lies and falsehood as usual from a merchant of deception and propaganda.
Your forebear Ignatius Ironsi was the person who abolished the regional system of government in Nigeria by promulgating decree 4 of 1966.
As per the Aburi accord,Yakubu Gowon made so many concessions to the erratic Odumegwu Ojukwu in order to avoid going to war over Biafra but Ojukwu kept on pushing buttons making outrageous and outlandish demands because he thought Gowon was a coward who would not declare war. Well in hindsight we all know how that ended.
Gidgiddy,this is 2024. You will not be allowed to spread your miasma of concocted falsehood without opposition. We are here to counter your disgusting lies.

Let me put in lay man's terms so your brain will understand. If Ironsi had abolished Region's, Ojukwu would not have been in Aburi Ghana as the Military Governor of the Eastern Region

I don't care what concession Gowon made, he broke a signed agreement not to abolish Region's and create states during the period of Military rule, which he did with Decree 14

Fejoku:

I didn't know the Biafran Coat Of Arms was inspired by the one from the old Eastern region. This is good.

Everything on the coat of arms of the old Eastern Region is what inspired the Biafran flag

favor914:
Outcome of a war that you are still lamenting over 53 years after you threw in the white flag?

Everyone in Nigeria is lamenting, be it about hunger, insecurity, inflation, poverty etc

Ojiofor:


Continue being advocate of violent agitation just know that ogbu mma ga esi na mma laa ogba egbe ga esi na egbe laa.Some of your wotowoto boys just paid their own price on sunday, you are not immune from the violence you preach.

You guys should be talking about what will bring peace

Instead playing blame game, talking nonsense and rumour mongering as your country drowns in insecurity, and more people are killed across the country

Okoroawusa:
Gidgiddy, one day iga'pu igaghi anata. Obughi ikwu. It's just the fact.

Innocent bloods are too much on your hands.

You guys should be talking about how to bring peace

But you guys are busy talking nonsense as violence increases every day, and more people are killed across the country

Ojiofor:


At least for first time you are no longer in denial that your group are terrorist as proscribed.
Continue wasting lives of Igbo youths chasing shadows of Biafra.

What else do you think Nigeria is good at except producing terrorists? You think the country is 8th most insecure country on earth for nothing?

There are armed men killing people all over Nigeria. Whether you call those men ESN, SEN or NES, is immaterial. There will always be armed men killing people all over Nigeria because Nigeria is a country that encourages violence, not peace.

There's no side to the story, Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement in, Aburi, Ghana. They came back home and Gowon broke the agreement, which led to Ojukwu declaring Biafra, and war followed

End of story

Ojiofor:


On sunday ESN/UGM was on their usual suicide mission to attack police station in Owerri and was killed you did not say anything about it because their corpse was all over social media.Did you check if the dead terrorist were from another tribe as you guys always claim?

Get used to it, it will happening for a long long time

Nigeria is not a country that encourages peace, it only encourages violence
