attackgat: You are a warmonger. Continued dialogue is the way forward. Stop inciting vio!ence. Igbo's can never succeed in manipulating us into starting a war. We understand the meaning of all the name calling- afonja, Fulani slaves etc. It won't work. We are not fools . We can see through it all. The underlining intentions. are very clear. |

So, you are saying, like fulanimafia hinted earlier, that politically sophisticated people just relax , keep taking it up in the axx, don't complain, and just manage to make efforts to grow and develop, despite the situation(your own words). GEEESUS! Simply amazing !! . You see, that's why you are not IGBO, and probably can't ascend, even in another incarnation. What amazes me is that most Igbophobes don't have the faintest idea what it means to be Igbo. [/quote] Igbo's appears to us as a people who act before they think. A people who believes violence must first be met with violence. Warmongers. I may be wrong. For us war should be avoided at any cost. That does not mean that we will not stand up to those who may seek to engage us in war. We are not afraid of anyone, and we are always at alert. We will never be the one to initiate war or using warfare or violence of any kind to pursue our agenda. It is not worth it. Yorubas, we believe in pursuing our goals peacefully, patiently. It won't be long before the Southwestern states especially Lagos , Ogun and Oyo are earning more than the FG. Slow and steady wins the race. |

Baawaa:Abiola was jailed and killed according to you but Yorubas did nothing to show support while he was unlawfully detained. Awolowo betrayed his friends for his own selfish reasons and that singular act has led to the hausa dominance and he cast aside. Bola Ige was killed while Obasanjo was in power, so you didnt do anything. Tinubu and APC brought our current predicament on us. Are these what you want igbos to emulate? If you have got nothing resonable to say, just keep quiet |

rlauncher: My dear friend, please read and reread your post again. Pls. This is the problem I have with your type. You are either less than 15 yrs old or simply a liar. And this is the main reason your masters deliberately refrain from teaching you basic Nigerian history in schools. If case you are more than 15 yrs old, kindly point to us any instance in the history of Nigeria where Igbos have used or resorted to violence to achieve anything ? Was it not the Violence and confusion in the West that laid the ground for the 1966 military coup in Nigeria, and the subsequent events that led to the Civil war ? Was it not the political Violence in West 1983, and the agitation for fall of the Shagari government by non other than Awolowo and his UPN that gave the Buhari the impetus to overthrow the democratic government of Shagari ? Was it not Awolowo that was the first Nigerian jailed for Treason against his nation, simply because he could not stand being outside of power ? How many political riots and mass killings have you ever heard or read about in Igboland ? How many genocides of other tribes or communities has been committed in Igboland since the amalgamation of Nigeria ? When have the Igbos ever declared war on anyone , group or ethnic region ? And you have the idiocy, the foul lying mouth , to refer to Igbos as a violent people ? In what planet ? This stuuupid, self-deprecating notion that you must stay cool and collected while nonentities, people who should be shinning your shoes, poke your axx, because you want political porridge is very very disgraceful, a nauseating state of mind. And let me repeat again, that's why you are not Igbo, and do not know what it is to be Igbo. We don't envy you and your political porridge. We want to be masters of our destiny. |

plaetton: Stop twisting history. Most of what you Igbo's often write about the history of Yoruba people are pure blatant lies. You always try to badmouth us on the internet hoping to manipulate us to think and act like you. That has been failing and it will continue to fail. You people are trying to start another civil war by giving support to a dark minded man calling for Igbos to take up arms against the Federal Republic ,calling the country a zoo and its citizens animals. What is that to you. Is that not a call to violence! 1 Like |

attackgat: Olodo! Go learn from history. We have fought three major wars against the Fulani Invaders. We lost the first and won the last two, and it still pains them till today. Ibadan meaning war camp was formed by nearly every tribe in Yorubaland with the purpose of defending Yorubaland against the invading Sokoto Jihadists, hoping to take over the land after securing Ilorin by subterfuge , killing Afonja the Yoruba rebel and traitor in the process. The Yoruba forces who were well prepared after what happened in the previous war which they lost because of Afonja treachery, inflicted the biggest defeat on the invading Jihadists in 1840AD, pushing them out of Yorubaland back into Ilorin which they had already secured. The use of canons and guns imported from Europe through the sea gave the Yorubas the upper hand. Ilorin technically was restored back to Yorubaland when the British amalgamated the Northern and Southern protectorate in 1909. Our military effort against northern invaders is why you still have big mouth to brag and insult us on nairaland today. 2 Likes 1 Share |

plaetton: How come you just realised you are Ibo and brave only after Jonathan lost an election? That's complete lack of candour and magnanimity. The truth is if Buhari had picked a SE person as vice this noise will not be so loud. Just like Diezani successfully hid her cancer from the public when she was in government but threw it in our face when power was lost and accusations mounted. |

futurism: This is the typical mindset of every Igbo man. They know the west will have to lead the challenge of the Northern Oligarchy, but they are too selfish to support them, too arrongant and boastful to let them see reason in a civil way. What am saying is, until they change their style of approach, the domination they so much loathe, will continue unabated |
