yes, those that actually contribute to nigeria, but many igbos can leave at the drop of a hat, a fault of the igbos that they fail to see. it seems money is more important then their homeland Which is why many are business men rather then lawyers, teachers, doctors etc ,  and we all know except for igbos that money isn't everything

exactly why i say many igbo are too prideful, i know for a fact the majority of the country sees the civil war as sad and would apologise but they wont be accepted  so fack em Angry

asha-


what's your point? are almajiris not Nigerians?  or you mean the LSG gov' should start erecting road blocks to keep out the rest of Nigeria? And if I might add, go to Igbo west in lagos and kick them out of lagos back to the east?


Just deal with the question/problem at hand and quit holding on to half backed thoughts.

Kobojunkie, it isn't even "almost". It is as if there is no more hope, and I could even go as far as saying that there is no more hope for Nigeria, for a long, long while to come, because the children will pick up these feelings quickly and run with them.

That is why when I hear people speaking of "THE YOUTHS", I cringe. The youths are almost already a mirror of most of what we have here on nairaland.  Many of these here are parents of some of our "YOUTHS", and I fear, no be small.

This Yoruba irredentist called Sjeezy8 is so so ignorant. He does not know that Yorubas are nowhere in education and intelligentsia, going by several criteria: jamb, UNICEF report, their activities towards the ND struggle, health indices and others, number sof beggars of Yoruba origin. Please go and get accurate info on your claims. Can you mention the so-called Yoruba lawyers and Engineers and place them side by side others from other tribes, especially the Igbo. For example, You have Soyinka, Igbos have Achebe, Igbos have Chimamanda and Yoruba have who?

Of course they do. But not from Nigerians because Igbos are still part of the country Nigeria. They deserve an apology from the north. The ruthless and inhumane murder of Igbos by the northerners then was a crime against humanity. However tere is no need for such an apology. The igbos are far ahead of them in everything positive you can think of. They should apologise to themselves and the entire country for (especially their leaders) for turning the country into a cesspit. Everything negative in the country today can be traced the north.corrupt government and leaders, poverty, illiteracy, nepotism, mediocrity, Ignorance, godfatherism, religious intolerance and so on.

People said the Igbos has been sidelined from politics, i will like to know how?
Has northerners and Yorubas been ruling the Igbo land?
How many Igbos has contested and people refused to vote for them.
I am sure if you check the data of past elections, you will realize that most Igbos would vote for an Hausa man, instead of voting for Igbo person, all cos they dont want the Yoruba to win.
I will like to understand what the apology would be for, when you go into a coup, you expect to either rule or be killed.

If it is about that then focus on your leaders that are stealing you bling instead of focusing on another people.

Chinua Achebe wants biafra  Huh Abeg show me evidence.If for anything the guy wrote a book 'the trouble with nigeria' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trouble-Nigeria-African-Writers/dp/0435906984 as far back as 1983 even when people felt was still good.

I guess igbos voted for Tofa rather Abiola in 1992 elections  Undecided which was regarded as the freest election in nigeria.

Or is it 1979 elections that obasanjo rigged Shagari.Maybe Obasanjo ia an igbo man.

Please i will like to know the election.

They said the 1992 Election was the freest election in the history of Nigeria, and i will admit with that, however, during the primaries, what happened, and how many Igbo people were in the race and what happened?
All i am saying is that, it is time for the Igbo people to stop whinning and contest, and i will surely vote for them, cos i will admit that Igbo people are most industrious in Nigeria, and i blv that they could help Nigeria out of her mystery, but whining and digging the old wounds wont do jack.

Apologies  for what sef? starting something you can't finish?


maybe our case go dey different if  Zik don listen to Awo in '59 and joined him to split up from the north and declare independence instead of running to snatch secret overnight alliance with the North.

Igbo elders didn't pass down stories about the dangers and consequences of war and foolish adventures. The war was never an Igbo thing from the start, it was nothing but one man's foolish dream and greed. Too bad his people did not question him, they blindly followed him and his ill conceived ideas. And to ass salt to injury, the fool and coward took off and left them hanging.

They'll tell stories about how Awo came up with ways to starve Biafra but left out the part where Ojukwu refused to let Food Aid plane carry food for his people instead of  weapons.


The same character is back running around with a new scheme called MASSOB.  He is not fighting to help the people his stupid adventure messed up, he's busy looking out for his own pocket and ends extorting money/monthly dues from his people. He didn't fight to get the feds or raised a finger to get pensions for the innocent people he took to battle but he made sure the feds sends his monthly pensions checks,

It's just sad, you have Igbo kids getting brain washed from birth with bed time fallacies that yoruba people can not be trusted, yoruba and other people are responsible for all their problems. Fortunately for us, we know and understand Nigeria's history, we know what happened.


And this one dey talk about apology from the north. Shouldn't you be demanding apologies from your leaders for sleeping with the north then and now. Zik slept with them against your interest, you leaders today are still in bed with them. Your leaders like Ekwueme and nwobodo are still doing oga sir to the north, imo gov' just defected and dumped his people to go collect his oga sir papers from the north.


You guys have bigger fish to fry in the east and  all this yeye and  meaningless nonsense you guys they come up with no go help you or your kids. your leaders are taking advantage of these fallacies by looting away your future. the game plan has always been don't look at us, look at the yoruba and  hausa people, they are the reason why we're fcuked up. the same leaders dumped their communities and snatched 65% of abuja, some are even runing state affairs from abuja.

Thousands of igbo abroad are having sleepless nights about venturing into Igboland this Christmas because of kidnappings and killings,



But you guys are here running mouth about redundant nonsense like apologies,


Get it together my people,

Many of these poems were collected in his 1971 book Beware, Soul Brother. One of his most famous, "Refugee Mother and Child", spoke to the suffering and loss that surrounded him. Dedicated to the promise of Biafra, he accepted a request to serve as foreign ambassador, refusing an invitation from the Program of African Studies at Northwestern University in the US.  wikipedia achebe

Just like Obasanjo is a stooge for the north for rigging in Shagari instead of allowing free election to see whether your beloved Awolowo would have won that election.

Your apologies cannot bring back the 2 million dead "EASTERNERS" whom you claimed were Nigerians.
The first step to some form of correction is to give the delta oil back to the real owners. Then allow us to have our own international airport anywhere in Igboland, and a waterport at Onitsha or Oguta. Nigeria or not, we are fine! Your genocide will catch up with you one day. Ofo! Angry

Well, I am not saying you claim but you seem to think you speak for ibos in many of your posts. Now there are those who have set themselves as the SPEAKERS and REPRESENTATIVES of Ibos and I have to say they have not been very good ones at all.  The bias and hate from these people stink to high heavens.

I am just saying that if one was to go by what many put forth as example for Ibo thinking here, one would not expect Ibos to vote in the majority for a man who was from another tribe, as was the case back on June 12th 1993. I mean that Authur was on the ballot and majority of Ibos did not let hate cloud their minds is a relief to me. I know it was almost 20 years ago but I am hopeful that the MAJORITY of Ibo people out there are not as biggotted and many of the samples we have here in nairaland politics claiming to represent them.
