hahahaha liar. the just concluded elections has said it all about ss/se bond. they cant be decieved by you trash comments anymore, they might be quiet but they know who love them. GEJ you disgraced out of office will serve as a proof forever.

Listen and listen real good. If Jonathan was an Igbo man do you think the SS would have carried his matter on our heads like the way you guys did for us? Why are you so gullible?
Ok now that GEJ is gone when last did you hear him talk about Igbos?

Besides all that PDP has a very strong base in SS and SE. It was more of a PDP thing than a brotherhood thing. When Ojukwu contested, which SS region even remembered that he was contesting? Stay there and be forming big brother by force and fire ehn. I believe that very soon, you will be forced to wake up to reality. Very very soon.

Re: Appointments: Ohaneze Gives Up On Buhari- Daily Sun by Nov15: 2:32pm On Jul 23, 2015
The Ohaneze said they have given up on Buhari and that the igbos should look inwards. which is good. Bad situations bring out the best from people. But my question is simple, what will the Igbos do if Biafra is carved out of Nigeria that they cannot do now ?

Just for the sake of discussion, If by tommorow Biafra is declared a republic.

1. Majority of the Igbos with solid investments in Nigeria will not likely go back to Biafra, they will continue doing business in Nigeria
2. The taxes Igbos will pay will increase because they are now foreigners. School fees will also increase. ( same for Nigerians but how many Nigerians are doing business in Biafra)
3. Monthly Federal allocation will cease, Ecological funds will cease.
4. The Igbos who are just surviving will most likely be repartriated.

5. Igbos in Biafra will start building infrastructure, roads, etc.
6. Igbos in Diaspora will repartriate funds for the setting up of industries
7. Exploration of oil in the Anambra basin will be pursued with vigour
8. Development of Coal and other Mineral deposits etc.

Now if you look carefully items 5 - 8 is still very much achievable by the Igbos in the present Nigeria. Which is why I think The ohaneze said we should look inwards.

Please can anybody who thinks otherwise share your thoughts.

We are part of the big 3 in this country and too big to be pushed aside.


Of what relevance is your big 3 status when at the end of the day you are irrelevant, inconsequential and especially when other win elections without you, your impute and votes? How relevant were you during the last election?

You people needlessly get high on delusions, false sense of superiority, self aggrandization, empty and shallow understanding of the people behind your bothers hence always ending up with the short end of the stick...

The don't even push you around, you basically push yourself around based on the poor and unintelligent decisions you and your leaders make everyday..



...Hausa Fulani have ruled and still ruling now, Yoruba have ruled and even wanted to go for third term, even SS have ruled now it is the time for an Igbo-Nigerian president if Igbos are truly accepted as part of Nigeria.

It's very clear like A B C that you can not attain power in Nigeria without alliances, without reaching out and seeking votes from other parts of the country, but this basic concept is either foreign to you or your usual tribal, bigotry and self absorbed mentality blinds every soul in your region from top to bottom and prevent you from doing what is necessary to achieve your objectives.

Instead of doing the above, you spend your time spewing hatred, tribalism and bigotry while others move on and do whatever they have to do to get what they want.

Just like you asserted before that PMB should hand over to ibo, you think everything should be handed over to you just because you are the best thing since slice bread or the sun rises and sets on your @ssss.

If Buhari does not hand over to an Igbo man then Nigeria should split, we can start all over again, simple.

This is a reflection of the unrealistic, foolish and imaginary world you people live in and why the rest of Nigeria laugh at you and never take you seriously. It just makes you sound like nut cases and unintelligent people...

Trash from an accursed fool. A product of baby factory can never make sense cos you were starved of breast milk while growing up in the jungle. You have comprehension problem but its not your fault cos you took after your late father, cos he was useless all his life before he was stoned to death by the elders in your village for bringing shame to alaigbo. Whats my own with radio Biafra? Its only jobless people that have time to claim yeebhoe to do bashing, I face you animals here daily and even tired cos most of your best men have retired same with many of our men. I only come here to laugh at you deluded fools that make noise daily on nairaland. I thought you gonna claim Ojuiku was not a coward...Buhahahaha. The bearded fool was disgraced and even pardoned by a Aboki you people hate, he still went ahead to contest election in same country he fought again...A slap on the 3m deluded yeebhoes that lost there life. He lost and was disgraced before he went dumb and senile, before they abandoned the ediot in one hospital while bianca continue her as.hewo business of sleeping with Pita Hoebi and FFK. What a shame!

You Biafra surrendered to same Obasanjo, he dragged your ragtag men to Gowon in Lagos and you surrendered to him after Adekunle have suyalised many of your loudmouthed cursed fool, you are a little kid and know nothing. Awolowo was a great man that died in his sleep at the age of 78, even your worthless nonentity father was stoned to death at the age of 41 for achieving nothing in life apart from a big ogogoro bottle they gave him during una village drinking competition.

You are no match cos you keep writing jargons, your smelly mother refused to train you cos she was not even your real mother, I hope you wont join the way of your father cos your pathetic life is getting worse, continue to ram the smelly pu.ssy of your mother while smiling like a happy goat.


i am loving this now, don't get tired you must see the end, you children of baal. will you deny obasanjo never had his son's wife's toto for dinner before awarding contracts to her? now i see how deluded and information starved your brain can actually be, i am so ashamed of myself for over rating you b4. your tribe is cursed like the fig tree in the bible and therefore cannot produce anything meaningful apart from backbitting and sabotage. i have your mother in my room, i couldnt let her sleep on my bed because she will stain it with her pu*ssy disorder so i let her sleep on the ground at least i can mop the slimy fluids with bleach and water and use the air freshener to kill the odour. ojukwu is not a coward ok. he is and will always remain a hero to us. instead of awolowo to be a hero he chose to drink rat poison, not even lion poison or elephant poison. lol. ordinary rat poison that means he died like a rat. one day google search will chrome some key words on search, so that if i want to search the meaning of a word like coward or in*cest what i will see immediately is yorubad. you are such a tribe of diabolism, ogboni, sango etc.. everything that partains to juju is yorubad that was what killed your ugly brother dagrin, i heard that even the name ogun means juju too chai!!! cursed name for cursed tribe. and after someone will tell me to attend winners or redeem church so they can cage my spirit while still alive. God forbid bad thing.

yorubads will be the greatest loosers in the country once everyone seccedes and stays on their own. fools. bastards like you do know that agriculture comes from the north, palm oil and crude comes from the se/ss. what do you scrotum sacks have in yorubad land and some morons and sons of propaganda will tell me cocoa. what has cooca brought to the tables of the nations treasury. all eyes are now open now everyone is watching you yorubads cos you are gradually becoming a real pest, if you doubt the awareness ask the emir of kano sanusi lamido he will educate your mal-nurtured brain. i wonder if the yorubads are born to be lazy that their women hardly take proper shower just like your mother, their pu*ssy smell can be perceived from a two storey building like rotten meat. i just pity any igbo man or any tribe that wants to get married to the tigger claw faced yorubad cos their offsprings will be damn too lazy, dirty and ugly to behold. after biafra is created i trust the hausas nah you will either abide by their set rules or you get crushed to death and who will fight for you? where you guys can fear like hamathan. what on earth happened to kwara if i may ask all ye sons of cowradise and bundle of ill fated fibbers. your Drunkard Dufus father did not tell you that your imbecilic tribe was invaded by hausa/fulani that is why there is emir in illorin(yorubad land) instead of toutish acronym "oba". if you are not cowards gather yourselves and go to illorin and remove emir and install oba instead afterall its not a no man's land and see how baboons will be soaked in bloods like water,, idiiots!!!, your father's left testicle was removed when he tried it before and so due to he could not get your mother pregnant forced your slave mother to f*ck a mad man in ibadan so she could get pregnant for him and the product of that intercourse was you. its true, you can conduct a DNA and you will realise what i'm talking about. abi dont you notice traits of madness in you? has someone not told you that before in yorubad land? chai its not fair O! no wonder yorubads are not to be relied upon, they are even telling you you are alright whereas you forget to your wear your shirts most times when going out these days.. hehehehehe. who brought this curse upon your tribe? sango or who?. vagabonds. destined for doom!!

People that want the Igbos to stay in the same country with them and yet will not blink an eye to propagate hate campaigns against them at every slightest opportunity.  At the mention of Biafra they begin to talk and comment as if they actually show love to the Igbos. They want the Igbos to remain in the same country so long they are willing to allow them do the ruling and loot the treasury.

Like you have been doing over the years, even with your oyel money?

Just accept that you Igbos lack cohesion, political smartness and are overtly corrupt. Each state in the east can hardly boast of any truthful/honest leader or revere political figure.

All what many of you grassroot people do is to whine in partisanship even if a powerless man is looting your common-wealth, yet you kept crying he's our tribesman.

These gestures showcase you the followers as dummies... Your leaders talk for you, not you demanding good governance and political empire from them.

If PMB finds any credible Nigerian from the east (not necessarily crying foul of Igbo) he will appoint.

First, stop shouting Igbo all about, no other ethnic group puts herself at the forefront like that (you should be a little ashamed), that is actually killing you as a group too. There are over 150 ethnic groups in Nigeria. You never hear others whining ( you'll hear SouthWest, Northerner...not Yoruba, Hausa, Igala, Ebira), why only you?

HiGod:

Thank you brother. If you take a proper look at Nigeria prior and after independence, Igbos have done more harms to this great country than good.


These people are the most wicked and selfish humans on earth. They prefer Jonathan administration to all the past administration simply cos other regions were marginalised.

Has anybody forgotten how Obasanjo surrounded himself with these worthless people over his own people but simply cos he is a Yoruba man, they still hate him. Here is the list of Igbos that were brought to limelight under Obasanjo:

Soludo-CBN
Ngozi-Finance
Okereke-Nigeria Stock Exchange
Agu Eze
Nafdac
Emeka Chikelu
Ifeanyi Uba
Obagheli Ezekwesili
Kema Chikwe
Vincent Ogbulafor
Ojo Madueke


Senate presidency was retained in that zone throughout Obasanjo regime despite all the political brouhaha.

Okadigbo
Wabara
Ayim Pius Ayim
Nnamani

The above list came into existence under a Yoruba man presidency but the same ingrates are calling for the same Obasanjo head simply cos he is a Yoruba man. I believe the whole world can now see with this above list how wicked and Useless Igbos are.

They are ready to destroy Nigeria as long as culprits of corruption are from their God forsaken region.

They attacked Tinubu for all sort of crime despite his pedigree. Can these worthless humans tell us how Orji Kalu, Arthur Nzeribe, Coschiaris Motors, Ifeanyi Uba with no pedigree made their billions? Is it out of your fake china products littering our streets in South West and North? Absolutely nope. You ll never see these bunch of clowns shouting and singing corruption rhetoric over those Igbo names but as soon as Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani names are mentioned, their brain come alive instantly.

They are like bacteria to the rest of the country.


N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.


"Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze.

Lagos (in South West) was the capital of Nigeria from 1914 up to 1991, until Abuja officially became Nigeria's capital on 12 December 1991. It was on 14 November 1991, the Presidency and other federal government functions were finally relocated to the new capital city of Abuja.

REMI FANI KAYODE, AKINTOLA, AWOLOWO, WESTERN REGION AND THE CRISIS THAT TRUNCATED THE FIRST REPUBLIC

These captains of the “tribalism industry” have good incentives to always omit the causes of the January 1966 coup preferring instead to dwell only on the coup itself. The reason  is simple;  It was  in their own  Western region  then known as the “wild wild west”  that  election rigging, thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and other  forms of corruption and acts of lawlessness that occasioned the January 1966 coup  took place as pioneering acts in Nigeria.

Soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil. Premier Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi  Awolowo became embroiled in a protracted crisis. By 1962 the crisis led to sustained violence and acts of lawlessness with law makers engaged in vicious physical combats in the Western regional parliament. Amongst serious injuries and other damages, the mace of office was broken.  The federal government intervened to curb the lawlessness and violence by imposing a state of emergency and appointing Dr Moses Majekodunmi as interim premier of the Western region on the 29th of June 1962. This became the first imposition of a state of emergency in Nigeria’s history due to heightened levels of lawlessness. Following an alliance between Akintola and Ahmadu Bello, Ladoke Akintola was returned to power on the 31st of December 1962 in spite of protests by Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe who requested fresh elections rather than reinstating Ladoke Akintola.

By 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed.  By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government   and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the all progressive grand alliance (UPGA).
 

In 1964, federal elections became due. As usual ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Remi Kayode and Akintola’s campaign was as usual almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, it was massively rigged in the Western region. Indeed deputy premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections.  Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region.

Daily mass murders and arson became routine in the Western region (wetie). This violence and lawlessness in the Western region was to continue from 1964 until 1966 when the military lost patience and finally struck.

The Western region was thus a region in crisis from the onset of post-colonial rule. By the time of the military coup, Chief Obafemi Awolowo himself was incarcerated for treason and the region was practically on an uncontrollable violence and trajectory of self destruction for almost two years from 1964 to 1966.
At the same time that the Western region was aflame the Eastern region was calm and democratic. Unlike the Western region there were no cases of election rigging, thuggery or other such acts of lawlessness in the East. In the North there was sporadic violence in the TIV division which was put down by the military.

Of all the regions, the western region was torn the most by crisis and acts of lawlessness which eventually occasioned the coup. If the leadership of the Western region had played by the rules and avoided the infighting, the election rigging, the thuggery, the  planning of a coup in 1963, the  arson, the mass murders and other  such corrupt acts and vices  many of which were being  introduced for the first time  in Nigeria  and which incidentally continues to haunt the nation to date, there would have been no coup and Nigeria would no doubt have immensely benefited from  a  functional democracy  devoid of election rigging, thuggery and violence as it obtains  in many progressive nations around the world.

The leadership of the Western region in conspiracy with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello are singularly responsible for the events and crisis that truncated the first republic and ruined the nation.

Those who carried out the coup choose to act out of genuine anger and frustration at the carnage in the Western region.  Whatever the demerits of the coup, It is obvious the coupists had nothing to gain other than the patriotic urge to end the corruption and lawlessness that had taken hold of the nation particularly the Western region.


Yorubas created the crisis that occasioned the coup and whose region the coup saved from self destruction are  some of the biggest ungrateful noisemakers  who peddle  the propaganda  of  colouring  an anti corruption revolutionary coup with patriotic ideals  very similar to that of  Flt Lt  Jerry Rawlings  in a tribal garb. In Ghana, Jerry Rawlings led a coup that eliminated three former heads of state, top military officers and top members of the judiciary. Not one of those killed was from Jerry Rawlings Ewe tribe, but Ghanaians didn’t spew tribalism into the coup and Ghana is better for it. With too many vultures and opportunists...preying on tribalism in Nigeria the story was bound to be different and thus a coup driven out of patriotism and obvious anger at the state of affairs was reconstructed as an Igbo coup and the worms were let out from the woodwork.


JANUARY 1966 COUP

Adewale Ademoyega, a full blooded Yoruba army officer, was deeply involved in the planning and execution of the January coup. His book ‘Why We Struck’ gives insight into the coup’s antecedents; planning; modus operandi and partial success. Any study of January 15 that ignores Ademoyega’s book is incomplete.

In a September 5 2010 interview with ‘The Nation’ newspaper, Matthew Mbu, then a Junior Defence Minister, narrated how, at an Air Force base in Kaduna on an official assignment on 5 January 1966, he was bluntly told by Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun that the military was going to sack the government. Ademulegun made no bones about their plan to shoot key members of the political class, notably Chief Okotie-Eboh, the Minister for Finance.

... the killing of Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Unegbe is attributed to his possession and non-surrender of the Lagos armoury keys to the plotters.
As professional soldiers the plotters knew this. Going by the accounts of Ademoyega and Gbulie who wrote ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors,’ what the plotters desperately needed were armoured vehicles to consolidate their gains in Lagos on January 15.

In page 60 of his book, Ademoyega mentioned Unegbe as one of the officers he and his colleagues had marked down for arrest.

Northern officers and men were involved, especially at the execution stage. Max Silloun, the military historian, mentions them in his landmark online article ‘The inside story of Nigeria’s first military coup Parts 1 and 2.’ It can be accessed from most search engines. Prominent among these Northern officers was the then Lieutenant John Atom Kpera who later became the Benue State governor in the Babangida regime. Kpera participated in the coup under Captain Ben Gbulie, Nzeogwu’s right hand-man in Kaduna. (See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

Although Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18). Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’ There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

[s]Of what relevance is your big 3 status when at the end of the day you are irrelevant, inconsequential and especially when other win elections without you, your impute and votes? How relevant were you during the last election?

You people needlessly get high on delusions, false sense of superiority, self aggrandization, empty and shallow understanding of the people behind your bothers hence always ending up with the short end of the stick...

The don't even push you around, you basically push yourself around based on the poor and unintelligent decisions you and your leaders make everyday..





It's very clear like A B C that you can not attain power in Nigeria without alliances, without reaching out and seeking votes from other parts of the country, but this basic concept is either foreign to you or your usual tribal, bigotry and self absorbed mentality blinds every soul in your region from top to bottom and prevent you from doing what is necessary to achieve your objectives.

Instead of doing the above, you spend your time spewing hatred, tribalism and bigotry while others move on and do whatever they have to do to get what they want.

Just like you asserted before that PMB should hand over to ibo, you think everything should be handed over to you just because you are the best thing since slice bread or the sun rises and sets on your @ssss.



This is a reflection of the unrealistic, foolish and imaginary world you people live in and why the rest of Nigeria laugh at you and never take you seriously. It just makes you sound like nut cases and unintelligent people...[/s]
