Were they praying in their churches as Christians and Kano government came to the church to appoint them in office.

How do you think that a Muslim in anambra state should be appointed because they are muslims. You think say we dey do quota system for here?. Any Igbo man or Christian that is appointed in the north worked hard for it. A man from my place called iyke okoye was appointed as SA in Kaduna back then. You can google his name and add Kaduna for better result. If i tell you the hard work he had to put on. Coordinating Igbo people and businesses and making them to contribute to good governance.

You Tinubu lots should reason with your brains. As you dey run your papa business, you go appoint a random person just so people will say you dey accommodate others even when the person has shown no interest and contribution in your papa business. You no just get sense

Oga,

You just insulted me for nothing. Abeg, read my posts if you get time.
Wetin concern an Obidient and Yusful man like my very self with Agbadorians and Cassavites?.

No be me dey collect flacks since from Yorubas because I dey tell them to stop the nonsense and recognize?.
Abi you sef wan teach an Igboman how to be Igbo again. Who teach lizard how to climb wall?.

In fact, tell me 5 sorry if you still hope to make heaven.

Oya, 1...

Just kidding. I know who you dey follow talk. Just say dem no dey hear word.

Agadorians and Cassavites how far na?

leokid866:
Oga excuses is excuses......you make sound like someone forced him to declare biafra......why are you talking as if it was not a grown man with all his thinking faculties in place that came on Tv that day to declare biafra......the man had options not once did he try to pivot towards democracy or maintaining his position as head of the SE area.....in his mind he thought the SS States would follow him forgetting how he shamed Adaka Boro......he chose war out of greed and nothing else and the messed part was he failed to plan properly...... the Military he was fighting were are they today? The biafra he started today is keeping his people from going out on Mondays.......what is not good do not draw excuses for it...... Ukraine self go collect something Russia has been planning for them since 2011 the idiot president let America use his land for proxy war winter will soon start......and who asked you to defend the south?

You see why I mentioned earlier that Fulani did Nigeria youths a strong thing when they arbitrarily banned history in our schools. Thank God governor Soludo has reversed that shameful illegality.

First off, Ojukwu did not declare Biafra. Eastern elders did. All eastern elders, including Efik, Annang, and all the rest. I've said that the Yoruba man's Albatros is his unwillingness to explore. Y'all really need to leave your villages and explore the length and breadth of Nigeria like your Igbo brothers.

You betrayed your tribal bias and lack of knowledge when you sort to make your readers believe that Ojukwu declared Biafra out of greed. Greed for what exactly?. Issac Borro was a self-acclaimed Igbo hater like yourself. A fifth columnist who worked against his own people in his fulani master's interest. Incidentally, the same master he served ultimately sent him to his maker.

Ojukwu did not go to war. Let us remember he was a member of the Nigerian military and one of its elites as the commander of a Nigerian Army brigade in Kano. A Sandhurst trained and commissioned officer, Oxford university graduate, and son of Nigeria's first indigenous millionaire.

My problem with you Yorubas is your easy disposition and penchant for treachery. A very flippant tribe. This same Ojukwu fought and engaged for the rights of the Yoruba when northerners ursuped the turn of one of yours. Read this:

"The Supreme Commander General Aguiyi-Ironsi and his host Colonel Fajuyi were abducted and killed in Ibadan. On acknowledging Ironsi's death, Ojukwu insisted that the military hierarchy be preserved. The most senior army officer after Ironsi was Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe. However, the leaders of the counter-coup insisted that Lieutenant Colonel Yakubu Gowon be made head of state, although both Gowon and Ojukwu were of the same rank in the Nigerian Army. Ogundipe could not muster enough force in Lagos to establish his authority as soldiers (Guard Battalion) available to him were under Joseph Nanven Garba, who was part of the coup. This realization led Ogundipe to opt-out. Thus, Ojukwu's insistence could not be enforced by Ogundipe unless the coup plotters agreed (which they did not).[23] The fallout from this led to a standoff between Ojukwu and Gowon, leading to the sequence of events that resulted in the Nigerian civil war"

I'm done with you on this. Not your fault, though. Your elders did you lots enough disservice when they, in place of being positive role models, elected to lie to you that Igbos went to war because they are greedy. This they did to cover their shame as the cowards they allowed themselves to become and, in consequence, yourselves, too.

Easterners only declared Biafra when the north, through Gowon, reneged on the Aburi accord, signed in the presence and under the encouragement of Ghana's General Joseph Ankrah.

Igbo refused to be Fulani slaves ab initio, and that will never change.

BATified2023:
what about this?

Renault Omumukri

Una don cry finish?

akinremiayomide:
okay
I don hear you
I guess chukwuma too would be interested in the OBA position right?

Even Okwudili sef
Dem no dey know o...

That way, the amalgamation of Igbo and Yoruba will be completely consummated.
You get

leokid866:
lol yes cause this life is just about having balls and no planning, Sir before we declare biafra and secede shouldn't we plan, make provision for weapons, ally's and food? No don't worry we have balls...... .......Sir before we attack run a march to Lagos should we not plan this out? No don't worry we got balls.... ......Sir why are you dressed as a woman, ssh don't let them know I've got balls..... .....

Your points are valid, but you see, brother, in a war situation, and one in which you are thrust into it unprepared, you may not have the luxury you outlined above. Tell me how easy it must have been to fight the British, the Soviet union, even the United states and Egyptian pilots as tiny Biafra for nearly 3 years?.

Much like Ukraine today, they must take their lives and liberty into their hands, improvising and fighting with the last man if necessary. These are balls, my friend, and the absence of it would have brought even you Yoruba under Fulani's complete servitude.

Your gratitude lies with the Igbo for rising up against all odds to defend the south. kiss that truth.

akinremiayomide:
no be only emeka ,
Nah chinedu .
Why not contest in Kano since you have popular of 5m.
Which Igbo man wan dare put mouth for Lagos politics?
Where he wan even start from??
You are a clown i swear
Which party go make him party flag bearer?
Who go vote him in for primary elections??

I laff at your stupidity

Na you foolish pass walahi
I don tell you finish
Shinedu loading...

lailo:
From all ur points above, I realized that it is either u are a baby analyst or being economical with the truth. I will take my time to school u boy.
NUMBER ONE- If as u claimed yorubas have less entrepreship spirit as the igbos, then a little goggle of top ten successful entrepreneurs in Nigeria should have the top 5 igbos and no Yoruba should even make the list. But Alas Yorubas are 4 on the list, and are even on top of the table while the igbos are 3 and even down below the table and hausa/fulani 3.
Top 10 most successful Nigeria's entreprenuers:
1. Aliko Dangote.
2. Mike Adenuga.
3. Femi Otedola.
4. Folorunsho Alakija.
5. Abdulsamad Rabiu.
6. Theophilus Danjuma.
7. Tony Elumelu.
8. Orji Uzor Kalu.
9. Jim Ovia
10. Oba Otudeko. If yorubas don't have entreprenuring spirit, they are not even supposed to make the top 20 list let alone beaten igbos hands down. Remember I said entreprenureship and not buying and selling of goods which is what most rich igbos are doing including Peter Obi himself. They also flourish well in drug dealings and money rituals. Even though most tribes are guilty of this, but oga na master
NUMBER TWO- Nollywood actor Fabian Adibe just recently lamented that his wife an Abia Igbo was sacked from Enugu civil service bcs she in not an indigine(same Igbo o). And we have heard this from several Igbo people too. If igbos could discriminate between themselves, Ebonyi and Anambra, Imo and Enugu, who is a Yoruba man that will go there and flourish? The hausas too have lamented how the igbos have denied selling their lands to them,saying it is their ancestral lands meanwhile yorubas freely sell their lands and houses to them in SW. Where is the enabling environment created that will allow a visitor to flourish in Igbo land? In my university, a state university in SW, we have so many Igbo lecturers and staff. Some are even H.O.D s while others are Deans. Of which this can never happen in Igbo land, a state school for that matter. Do u still call this one they pushed themselves or we are tolerant and more westerner? Or our own people wey go school and qualify don finish?
NUMBER THREE- It is Awolowo who was trying to be nationalistic that made that mistakes, and that's why u have mouth to be yarning nonsense. How many igbos are in Lagos pre-civil war? They stay in their region. It was after the civil war which destroyed their lands that the yorubas received them in droves into yorubaland especially Lagos, which they prefer to their enemies den which was North. The hausa/Fulani military ruler who were ruling Nigeria that time, in their bid to reduce the power and dominance of yorubas in their own land o Lagos, further complicated the issue by selling most Lagos assets and positions to igbos and their people. All just to reduce the influence of yorubas in Nigeria politics and Lagos which they later called no mans land. This intentional and unchecked access and inroad gave the igbos the population and influence in lagos today and thats what u are terming entrepreneurship spirit. Just like I said it will only take some regulations and laws to set the record straight. By the time they begin to identify igbos businesses and interests in Lagos state and strategically reduce them, it is jobless igbos like u that u use your own to affect the hardworking igbos who have stakes in Lagos state. Time will tell sha.

Just shut up, brainless tribalist. Who did you call a boy?. Ewu!.
Go learn some manners, then come join grown-up discussions.
What is it you kids have not learned how to address others or simply make your useless points without resulting in expletives?.

Do these and come back to be schooled by me.

leokid866:
lol Nigeria did not attack Lagos but your papa for biafra led a march to try and take Lagos before they show him road back to his biafra.......

Nigeria government was at Dodan barracks, and Dodan barracks was and is still in Lagos. That was the destination.
What a masterstroke. Such balls I tell you

akinremiayomide:
oga that is the fact
Igbos are not up to 2m in Lagos

If there are over 5 million Igbos in Kano state alone, according to Kano state government estimates. 2.5 million in Kano at the end of 1993, and 11.5 million all over the north. What then would you think the Igbo population in a metropolitan city like Lagos would be Mr statistician?.

How do you think they are able to elect men representing constituencies in both state and federal houses of assembly?. Dey dere dey deceive yourself until the day Emeka Okoronkwo becomes Lagos governor's name

leokid866:
lol Oga stop deceiving yourself, no one is going to allow other tribes to dictate their politics to them......it's not going to happen in the SW not in the SE definitely not in the North or foreign Nations like the US ( which is why a lot of republican states work extra hard to pass state laws that make it harder for blacks and foreigners to vote) we all are ready to share with each other, but when your handshake don dey pass elbow because you feel you can be dictating our leadership for us that where problem will start...

This is the beauty of democracy, my brother. The only other option, if acceptable to you, would be to return to the days when we are either only Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Idoma, Chamba, Efik, and the rest. Today, we are Nigerians, and every man and woman is bestowed the right to aspire everywhere and any quest lawful.

Advise your people to disperse and conquer the land. That is the message, and Igbo understands it so well.

Christistruth00:
There was no Biafra in the Nigerian Law orConstitution in 1967

If Gen Ironsi failed to recognise Adaka Boro’s Niger Delta Republic and Boro was arrested by Ojukwu himself for Treason

Why should Gowon recognise any Biafra, it was all Nigeria and Gen Ironsi had already used. Boro to set an example that

Rebellion would not be Tolerated by any Govt in Power

If Ojukwu was not fighting Yorubas why did his Army invade and Kill Yoruba Civilians at Ore was that a declaration of Peace?

So we should Thank Ojukwu for invading Yorubaland with his Biafran Army and trying to take it over,

Is that what you mean ?

I will not further engage you if you are only to straw all over the place in search of a seeming argumentation. My time is precious.

However, Biafra does not need Nigeria's consent to defend its territory, having been invaded by the former in clear violation of the accord it willingly signed in Aburi, Ghana. Abi Gowon head dey inside woman yansh when he read and signed that piece of paper?.

What is your definition of the word, rebellion?. Is it rebellious to refuse to become slaves to northerners who are daily massacring your people and seeking to protect the life you live?.

No wonder you bunch still have bed-wetting, toothless men you bow to in the guise of tradition. Igbo rose and fought when it became clear extinction is what will come to them otherwise. They saw tomorrow and rose against its ugly outcome much as Jews did and are still doing against their traducers in the middle east.

These other easterners, much like their middle eastern ideological counterparts, will continue the quest to live free. Free from oppression and subjugation that has held down the ethnicities of Nigeria and entrenched backwardness and hypocrisy as a national mantra.

I suspect they will go to arms again if the need arises to press home that salient point that they are not born to play second fiddle to anyone, and they should. And I will happily participate if I am lucky to be alive at that time. I hope Yoruba finally finds its voice and balls and strive to live free as well.

Hiding under their trumpeted humility and sophistication to dodge their responsibility as men will never endear them to free thinkers and people who wish to advance themselves taking with them God's providence and the assurance that they are not to subsist into the servitude of another man.

I am Igbo, and I have no apologies to give for being one.

I can afford my tuition, yours and even that of your family put together.

Of course. From your poverty-induced face me I slap you room mansion

ImperialYoruba:
Not a single muslim in the entire commissioner list, in the entire government house staffs and aides, in the entire house of assembly, I can't find a single muslim.

Im talking over 600 personnel, all christians.

Why do Anambra discriminate against muslims?.

What's the name of that Christian commissioner in Kano?. I also forgot the other name in Jigawa, please remind me.

Jennifer663:
Me too
I commented on a post and they banned me till October!
Just because i supported a party.
I don't know if they are looking face.
Cus it partiality..
.

Tinubu don buy Nairaland tey tey na. Make I see how long dem go ban me for this post.

Ezewuzie01:
When we tell people that IPOB are the ones running for President of Nigeria using the face of Peter Obi, some doubt it. This is IPOB-style propaganda. They mix it with few unsuspecting or gullible outsiders like these abokis whom they later paid with 1000 naira and two satchets of "pure" water each. Yes, IPOB sympathizers are in every part of Nigeria not just the east. It's just that they don't openly display their secession agenda in other parts of the country for fear of reprisal from the locals.

You see as I just dey look you?

Christistruth00:
What was Ojukwus Biafran Army doing in Ore in Ondo State and why did Ojukwu Occupy Okiti Pupa?

Are you aware that the Biafran Army Killed many Civilians at Ore?

Biafra did not fight against Yoruba. Her fight was with Nigeria, which invaded her territory. May I also remind you that there were Yoruba elements in the Biafran military, and some were commanders.

Every war, as unfortunate as that human disagreement is, always produces casualties. It is unavoidable in the nature of armed conflict. If anything, Biafra should be commended for the audacity to challenge Nigeria's seat of Government as they laid siege to Biafra's at Enugu.

Again, and as I said above, what makes Igbo who they are should be studied at doctorate levels.

Amenamen1:
That risk shouldn’t be your concern right ?

But, I hear say na Awori own the land sef.
Are they also Yoruba?. Please educate me.

leokid866:
lol how many Yorubas do you see dragging local politics with you in your state? But you people like to move to other people's state to dictate their local politics to them and you just expect them to lay down and take it......you people always overreach and that has been your downfall from Zik to Ojukwu and very soon Bikol-Obi.....

Nigeria is a federation. Anyone can aspire and reach where his or her capacity carries them within the allowances of our laws. Yoruba cannot and must not allow their jealousy and lack of adventure to hinder others or break the law.

leokid866:
lol please point to one company that is over 100 years old that is owned or run by am Igbo man? Is it science? Law? Finance? Marketing or politics? Manufacturing? We beat you hands down in all sectors except Trade and sports but we sti have a good showing in those sectors as well......please be careful with this your ego......

Oga, go siddon. There is something that makes an Igbo, Igbo. This science must be studied in schools .
The day you finally figure it out as a Yoruba man, your life will never be the same again.

leokid866:
lol for you mind igbos single handedly built vast arears of Lagos because state government had nothing to do with, ministry of housing and townplanning had nothing to do with, the land owners, surveyors and other stake holders had nothing to do with......you people just moved in and started developing.......well done awon eyan bob the developers.......

Ask your elders in what state of development large swats of places Igbos dominate today were in the 70s and 80s.
I said your elders, not fellow indomie generation mates like yourself

leokid866:
lol....this is the true nature of the Igbo man....who gave you anything? Before the civil war you guys controlled practically everything from economy to military but the rest of us did not care cause we could freely chose our leaders to represent us and we were contented......but you people's greed drove you to say you want more.......you slaughtered others and then sought to consolidate power at the centre which was controlled by Ironsi till the north slapped you guys back to the dark ages.......you dont remember you had everything but decided to throw it all away you now dare come online to say no one gave you anything

Your account of our national history is revisionist in nature. Unfortunately, Nigeria banned the teaching of history in our schools so you should be forgiven.

leokid866:
bit Akeredolus wife ran for office on her state and was denied because she no longer belongs to them....in fact they did not let her and her crew into the hall the primary election was taking place.......

That behavior, if true, is not acceptable. Same as Tinubu's disenfranchisement of Igbos in Lagos must be condemned.

leokid866:
we are not pained you are doing well in Lagos, we appreciate you for coming and ask that you tell your family and friends about our wonderous state.....what we don't like is your lack of disrespect to us your host by calling a Land we have cared for since before your father's knew to call themselves Igbos as no man's land......if it is sure for your father that Lagos is no man's land why didn't your people wait when the civil war started? Shebi it is easy to shout no man's land now why una no wait that time defend the land?

Nigeria did not attack Lagos, they attacked the east. Our papa dem went to do what men do.
Igbos will defend Lagos today if it comes to it. They are too invested in the city and will lose as much as anyone otherwise.

OGHENAOGIE:
idiot was Calabar lokoja not capital before... Una de mad... Kuku say 70 percent of landlord in Lagos are Igbos shebi obi ll win Lagos... Foolish arrogant tribe that think Nigeria must contor their useless agenda

Is it possible for you lots to speak without insulting?. Why una dey vex all the time?.
Lack of home training, I guess.

Amenamen1:
Reaping will not be possible if you start to tell the farmer you made him …he’ll simple tell you to take your produce off his land right ? So this is just the issue … if there wasn’t a farm would you have had somewhere to plant ?

You forgot to acknowledge that the farmer runs the risk of the land becoming desolate in the event of the tenant's vacation of the place.

Amenamen1:
Why Una no channel this energy towards one state in SE?… you leave your own farm go [b]plant [/b]crop for another man farm and you Dey claim the produce? You suppose cover your face for all this shit wey you Dey talk …

The keyword is, plant. Would it be proper for a man who planted to not reap?. Did he steal the farm on which he planted?. There is dignity in labor. Igbos planted, they should equally reap regardless of locality,

citygarden:
Am not surprised if your response because we know that is the usual anthem you normally sing. Why not sit down in your state and build it like you develop everywhere in the world. Like Hong Kong, China, america, Malaysia, where most of your people are on death sentence all in the name of you develop their country. I won't batch you because am omoluabi. Ipodians Army

Oga,

Why e dey pain una say others dey also do well in lagos?. Since when did lagos declare independence from nigeria?.
Are the Igbos being fed free in Lagos?. Are they not sweating it out like everybody else in lagos?

What is it with Yoruba and jealousy?. Una be enemies of progress abi wetin?. No be anybody force una sell una lands give people wey the matter come dey look like say una dey regret. And una still dey busy sell much more.

There's no free meal for anyone in Lagos, including the Igbo. They paid their dues like everyone else, and then some. Quit crying jor. No one owes you anything. Lagos belongs to all Nigerians. We built it together.

anonymous1759:
Loud mouth . Watch out for what ? Igbos still remains minority to the owners of Lagos . You brag too much.

For your mind .
The demographic you quoted will drastically change before long. Give it another 20 years, if Nigeria makes it that far.

NozinoGroup:
How’s an appointed office holder and an elected member of a state house of assembly the same?

The constitution is clear regarding how to qualify to run for office. The Igboman worked hard and qualified. No one prevented your people, including yourself, from qualifying to run for any position in the southeast.
