Nobody abuse anybody here we now we knw those dat r irresponsible n troublesome in dis country

I oblidge readers of Reno Omokri's well dedicated write up to please check out Al Jazeera's documentary series of the "French African Connection" watch, listen and learn...if you don't you'll miss a lot of the truth...cheers as we all learn

I have watched that documentary long ago.
The three of them.
I learnt a while lot from it.

iykebest1:
my only offence is being an Igbo

No bro, not at all. Lion is the king of the jungle but walks stealthily most of the times.

Igbos should stop reminding other parts of the country how useless they are.


#Diplomacy

Standard Organisation of Nigeria [SON] informed us that there are about 5000 small scale start ups in Aba Abia state alone. But the Nigerian government cannot aid their innovations.

Pprovost:



By the time the Igbo nation realized that they have picked the wrong "enemy" in Yorubas, it would have been too late

I as a Yoruba, am seriously hurt that ibos are still being forced to be Nigerians. It's my utmost desire that they have their wish. The development in the west here is not oil money but Cocoa money from our great fathers. We Yorubas had our structures, culture, arts, music and trade and etc systems in place before the white man came to force us into a marriage of force.

I read that the ibos were refining crude oil. They had it, we didn't have crude oil. Would we have refined what we didn't have? Of course we had palm kernel and other plants! And we were processing what we had. Some 'omo o ri ru e ri' should not come here and speak baldadash. We are peace-loving people and live with other people peacefully.

Moreover, we never ever had anything to prove to anybody. It is however in their process of trying to prove what is not that many of them involve themselves indrug trafficking business that makes them to end up in death rows in other countries.

So what's the Biafran goverment doing? Or doesn't Abia State have a governor? Ok. Let Abians wait. Ambode is coming to their aid. Awon oponu aiye rada.

Ndigbo are very hardworking, technologically savvy, enterprising, peaceful and above all value the SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE. Just like Japan, Germany and South Korea, it marvels the world how Ndigbo that emerges from the ashes of the war was able to come back better, stronger and United. Today, in Nigeria, Ndigbo has become the technological and commercial giant hub. Places like Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Asaba, Nsukka, Afikpo, Ukwa East and West, Oguta, Mbaise, Umuahia, Arochukwu, etc are blazing trails in all endeavor.

Presently, Ndigbo has become the giant leaders in education, sports, entertainment, literature, business administration, science and technology, local export derivatives hub, etc. My advice to Ndigbo is this:do not rest on your oars! You have NEVER been depending on govt and you can't start now. Always seek out for new opportunities, maximize it and dominate it. Always believe in yourself and in your guiding spirit (Chi) who has been taken you (Ndigbo) thus so far. God bless Ndigbo.

Good stuff. . .Not subscribing to tribal biase, but I agree with everything he has said.
I think everyone does.

i love this article and it has revealed my known love for the IBO. they are the only tribe I can mingle with in Nigeria.

Adaure4ever:
I don't need Reno omokri to remind me that Igbos are great.
Why didnt he say this when he was in GEJ cabinet? Why now?
Whats the secret aim?
I suspect this guy motive,
we should stop being emotional and be investigative.

... Pls does anybody has a TIME TABLE to say his or her mind?

It is a very good write up by Mr Reno on one hand saying thank you to our Igbo brethrens for standing gidigba with Ex-President Jonathan and on the other hand almost saying the truth.I was telling somebody that if Ijaw,Hausa,Idoma,Egun or any other people had found themselves in a war position at that point in time,they would have done things we consider technological especially with the help of white mercenaries that came in to execute the war with them.One thing we must ask ourselves is why could'nt they show at least this tech skills before the war and even after the war.The simple truth is these things though some were exagerated were done with the help of the white mercenaries.The Ogbunigwe is a simple weapon which any science student like me can do...according to the Igbo prof behind it.But I give kudos to the man at that point in time...reading up....and using what he learnt in school to torment the Nigerian side.If it were Yoruba,we would have done more than what the Igbos did because if you go through the Yoruba history,you would see we had always been a couple of steps better than the Igbos even during the regional system of government in which we saw the ingenuity of each region,Yoruba came tops even in this civil period without mincing words,Yoruba controls 70% of the ICT world in Nigeria...if you talk about manufacturing of vehicles,Yoruba has PROFORCE in Ogun state selling to Africa and the world at large even without the help of the govt as Innoson Motors got massively from GEJ which is all good by the way.Visit that link below and know how Igbos lie and exagerate things out of its proportion.I am saying all these because of what xharder whom I know is Ikechu1,Ikengawo,Onenaira etc...he has this grudge with yorubas who are million miles ahead of his tribe then and now no matter what anybody says...the facts are there to be perused ...the underlying factor is that necessity is the mother of invention.The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct. Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it....

like an American scholar once said, the igbo offense in Nigeria is just being igbo and nothing else. That igbo spirit is so mysteriously scary to other Nigerians.. they just don't understand how igbos do it.. i laugh when some oily red rustic humans think we are in competition with them not knowing they don't even exist to us. we just do our thing and we flourish..it is a gift from God. it is call akaraka in igbo

just like in the picture below, the white planter knows the eboe slave nigga was intelligent,industrious, stubborn and indomitable when aroused, but shooting him was not the best option because it was as good as shooting the best slave in his plantation...

truly the black man has a problem with his thought process, that is why African and other black nations are backwards and the Western world succeeded in caging the only black race that would have been a spring board for African economic and technological independence by locking them in Nigeria and giving power to the inferiors to rule over them so as not to have that freedom to explore their hidden talent...
To me biafra is beyond Nigeria. The west is scare of the emergence of biafra because they know it will whittle down their influence in Africa and spring up the true independence of Africa not just politically but culturally,technologically and economically

What book is that?

DeeTus:


You are from Anambra State?

yes nah.I be pure breed ada anambra.errmmm haters like mrcork and co abeg go hug transformer.

Was so sad on the self realization that i was African, until i realised what being an IGBO MAN meant.

mesoprogress:
This is the reason I hate my Igbo brothers lumping SS, other minor Igbo nations (Anioma, Ikwerre, Etche), into their Biafra Republic. Let's form a pure Igbo nation. Our Igbo brothers in SS rejected us because of oil and SS brothers looking at us with suspicion. Igbos wake up! Seek your own country without these half-hearted neighbors and get it in record time.

Nigeria's failure is oil! If we ain't going with SS, they would sure ascent to our request. In our new country, hardwork and ingenuity will propel us ahead. Tell me mineral resources of Japan, Singapore, etc, yet their economy is larger than Saudi Arabia that pumps 11 million barrels of oil daily! Nigeria still struggling to produce 2.2M at its peak. Oil is not the answer.

talking like Voldemort, wanted only purebloods and no mudbloods, my brother that is imposicant, I'm Igbo but to say you want to have an exclusive Igbo nation is not possible because people will still find things to divide themselves, if it's not about Igbo or Yoruba it will be about anambara against enugu, it never ends...let's just fight against injustice and not seek for discord all the time

proudly nwafor ANAEDO.

Igbo we have all we need to be great.

n to our Ibibio efik annang ijo isoko idoma igala esan benin etc brothers u are always welcome on board dere is enough space for all.


and for all u afonjas south was.te convince ur leader to let calabar port be n in 2years Lagos will turn to slum.

building railway from calabar to Lagos is of no use let dem channel d money to road repairs n construction.

Fawklicant:


Excellent piece. I'm sober and humbled after reading Reno's piece. It may yet be one of his best pieces. Igbos need to reinvent themselves and evolve. Forget about recognition, keep doing what you are doing and everything else will follow. Use that sense of pride (which some see as arrogance) to elevate the Igbo nation. Igbo mma mma nu ooooo!

Iseeee!

lol...there is no way they won't pull Yoruba into their mad dance as if we were born together.With all their mouth which is a DNA thing,Yoruba that they like to hate because they have seen that Yorubas have always been ahead of them even when Zik was manipulating things in their favour,God brought Yoruba up to their rightful place.We were separated before colonialism...Yorubas were more developed.During colonialism,Yorubas were more developed.After colonialism,Yorubas were more developed till date.Everything depends on God.

Deetus, forget u. Trust me,Mr cork stll has the biggest d**k & nairaland & no one can match. He priiiick really big.

..awww,thanks babes I no. Thank for my priiick compliment!!

Igbo pple re highly blessed. I won't be surprise 2 go to heaven on d last day 2 findout dt God himself is an igbo man . But 2 my igbo brodas I wld always kick against subscribing 2 cheap praises and laying down ur guards. Igbos fight-fight-fight until u get 2 ur rightful place. Dey all knw dis Yorubas/Hausas dt we re richly blessed in every ramification bt u knw it's a hard tin 2 admit. One more tin, let's not brag with our mouths my dearest igbo brodas, let's use our ingenuity, hardwork and energy 2 bring more development as dt wld threaten our counterparts even d more. We shldn't b complacent wit wat dey said we already achieved, let's go all out and achieve mor in love and unity. Ogwucha ka odim na onu. Daalu nu oo

When will we stop this foolishness of ascribing success to tribes as black men?

One tribe always wanting to show that it's better than the others, which is bullshit


The two main culprits in this silly act are the YORUBA and the IGBO people here (not all tho)

We should stop all these rubbish please

Is there really anything like "superior race?". As in a situation where every human being from a particular nation/ethnicity is NATURALLY BETTER at everything to every other person around them? If you are an enlightened social scientist with a miniature grasp of the concept of 'nature' and 'nurture' in psychology, u will know that it just doesn't make sense to grandstand just for d mere fact u r from a particular ethnic stock/nationality. All I c in many cases is a people practically forcing EVERYBODY around them (with action and words) to accept their superiority (whatever that means) over you. Fine the igbo's have rpoduced some of the best minds to ever come out of Nigeria and indeed Africa but so have other very minority unsung tribes in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Our biggest problem as blacks has always been our natural propensity to trumpet ourselves beyond necessary. I for one would never accept that anybody is NATURALLY better than me in EVERYTHING. Anyone climbing that high horse over others is simply unenlightened.

Every so often, somebody would rise up and sum up the courage to speak truth to power about Nigeria. I believe this article meets those rare occasions, and the truthfulness of the writer should be applauded. All the instances he cited are all verifiable and can be supported by empirical researches. Those who lived within the enclave of Biafra and survived that atrocious war are living witnesses to the truth about the Igbo and Biafra technological feats that was performed during the war. Reading through this article, you can understand why Igbos feel disenchanted with Nigeria as you go through the article line by line with open mind. Igbos are like free birds, and free birds don't like to be caged. They are free thinkers and doers and producers of intellectual properties and risk takers. They abhor handouts and eschew redundancy and laziness. All these abundant Igbo energies are bottled up and capped, by the Nigerian government led by those who prosecuted that war because they are still afraid of what the Igbos are capable of accomplishing if allowed to roam with their thoughts. It is because of these restrictions that Igbos are incompatible with the rest of Nigeria's vision which lacks the clarity of purpose. Biafrans should forcefully separate from Nigeria to attain their greatness in a space of time.

Checkmy signature. .. I repeat.. #TeamIgbo.

As an igbo, if I say he is saying the truth, they say I beat my chest

But he is saying the truth

.

First of all i do not beef the Igbos and yes i am Yoruba. I laugh at such articles and mindset.
Reno is just a big fool i repeat no African tribe is technologically advanced. The igbos are very hardworking, talented and smart that i agree on but to say they built Jet fighters and drilled and refined crude oil is just bullshit.

Only the whites and Asians do technology, why did it take Anglo-dutch company (Shell) to know Oil was buried beneath our soil, why didnt the igbos use their own technology to discover it. Or was the Hausa and Yoruba holding you down before the Civil war?

Igbos i do not hate you but stop allowing these fools like Reno Omokri to stroke your ego by lying to you.
