[size=20pt] We
conquered them including their Bayelsa
and gained victory[/size]

van bonattel:

I have never seen a yoruba man fight anybody, even in sports, boxing, Samuel Peters, Jerry Okorodudu, Obisia Nwamkpa, D!ck Tiger and others. Bash Ali? Senior noise maker without steam. Those guys are very weak, shouting Aaah Aaah and opening their mouths wide (fly fit enter sef)

edicolove: This is my humble take:

1. I know the Ibos feel betrayed by the Yorubas and Ijaws but to continue to fight ourselves is only making the core north have the dominance. We are only playing into their hands.
2. I think the Yorubas should drop their pride on this and admit that the decision to side with the North against Biafra is what we are all suffering today. If we had kept to the Aburi accord, we would have been a different country today.
3. The continous disagreement between the Ibos and Yorubas is costing us all. Even the middle belt has opted out of the North. The plateau state governor did not even attend the last Northern govs meeting.
4. The Niger Delta has realised that it was a mistake to side with the North against Biafra. A big mistake. The Ibos truly can be domineering in terms of coming into your place to owns businesses, but Ibo communities easily blend in with their host communities and even learn the language fast. They don't come together as Ibos to fight their host except when they are being targeted like you have in the North. Ibos and Yorubas have lived together peacefully in the south west for ages.
5. Having said the above, I make bold to say that the day the Ibos, Yorubas, Southern Minorities agree on federalism, the core North will keep shut. Especially now that the middle belt are extracting themselves from the mix.
6. I will say this, though I know it might be controversial. I think the muslim Yorubas are the ones aligning mostly with the North. They seem to allow their religion blind them into believing that the core north are their brothers. But unfortunately, the core North don't even regard them as true muslims. In many mosques in the North, Yoruba muslims pray separately from the hausa muslims. I even observed something funny somewhere in Lagos. Some of my. Yoruba Muslim guys once complained that the hausa aboki refused to join them in their normal prayer. He would either pray on his own in a secluded corner or wait for everyone to finish praying before going into the mosque to do his own praying. I thought they were kidding until I actually observe him doing it, myself.
7. Finally, anyone who says they can stand aside in a war has no clue. Even if you don't ask for it, it will get to you. Many communities were sacked during the civil war. They didn't do anything. It is what war brings. So the only way to secure ourselves is to come together and fight. Only a mad cow infested northern army will go to war against a united southern Nigeria. They won't survive one month at most. But a divided southern Nigeria is going to be a completely different kettle of fish. But believe me too, a united south east and south south is also a formidable group. A combination of the will, the population and the oil is a good bet anyday

belabela: Nairaland of comedy
Everbody seem to have become a self appointed leader of their region. Ok o comedians keep fighting yourselves and continue declaring e- war on yourselves. God forbid but if there is war in Nigeria most if not all of you nairaland warriors would be in refugee camps in Cameroon, chad, benin republic and niger begging for food.

ifeness:

What have you learnt apart from getting high scores at the universities and selling okrika wake up? Hausas have got the military might and they will simply wipe out the SE and SS.Very simple.

I'm forced to agree with you that Igbos should fold their arms and watch a duet between the Northerners and the south-south, SW but don't you think that Igbos and south-south have been intertwined that it will be very difficult for it not to affect the Igbos. Don't forget that there's a huge indegenous Igbo population in the south-south. Don't also forget that the Efik/Ibibios who were our best friends during the war are also in the south-south. Don't also forget that the south-east Igbo population in the south-south is one of the largest. So, we're gonna be affected just as much as the south-southerners. I foresee a situation where other south-south groups that have been following Ijaws like 1diots as south-south aka Niger Delta will denounce their Ijaw brothers and be looking for new alliances. This is going to be a blockbuster movie with all the intrigues and betrayals. Let's watch and see how events will unfold.

Desola: These northerners need to be killed off!

CHESSBOARD:

Majority of SS fought for Biafra and we cant fold our hand and watch North do anything to them, but if it were SW then they are on their own except if there will be no second betrayal and they are in forefront.

Onlytruth: My first input is that the North is obviously trying again to scare the Yoruba into stabbing the south in the back; and I repeat -AGAIN ( at least to be their open conquered territory to the sea), because they believe that Yoruba is the weakest link in the south. Do you notice that they did not even mention Edo or even Cross river side, not to talk of Igbo land? So, they figure that Yoruba is the weakest link and they need to remind them of that, lest they forget. haha.
I personally foresee a situation whereby the North forgets about the East (provided the East stays united -the fear of the Igbo by the North is the reason they would do this), and concentrate on using the West to access the sea. That sea access is the North's major concern.

Anyone who thinks that the Igbo would sit out a war in our own backyard is wrong, and the North knows.

alj harem: @ edicolove you are an you don't surprise me with your stupidity.Rt. It is dumb of you to think just cuz I am Muslim I am a northerner or in support of the trash faruk said. Let me make myself clear we are Yoruba first before any religion. Allah that made us Yoruba is not dumb.

@ topic I must express my disappointment with this trash usman said. Very disappointed cuz this animal has just given me the reason for a united southern Nigeria which include the whole middlebelt minus half of Niger state.

Come to think of it, everyone in Nigeria apart from south southerners are parasites so we don't have a right I mean, any right to speak on how they want there oil money spent.


What this silly usman just did is give igbos the mouth to talk. I guess they were right after all. Idiot talking of conquering others, now everyone is getting ready for some needless war which could easily be avoided. Very provocative statement I must say.

Olodostein:

The people I have confidence in the South South are those from Cross River.

An average "Niger Deltan" view of an Igbo man is absurd to say the least.

Where are those guys from Niger Delta on this forum that defend Goodluck tooth and nail any chance they got ?

Why do we always have to come to their defence but whenever Igbo's are being aggressively attacked on here we don't see them. But when it comes to their domain, our people tend to carry it on their shoulders. Haven't you observed that ?

We just have to call a spade a spade. Let us not pretend that everything is alright.

Ayatullah: @logica, can you bring out any of your notable men so that I can take him to the cleaners.....the best you have produced so far has turned out to be BRAIN DEAD. Check our recent history and see whether we've had it so bad under a Nigerian Leader.

CHESSBOARD:

I am a Niger Deltan and I am IGBO, unless you are talking about SS but If I tell the names of Niger Deltan who are SS and yet support everything Igbo in NL u wont believe, eg Beaf and Byllionaire just a few, they have wised up and not even ready to forgive Isaac Boro, this is not 1967, I live in ND and i know what I am saying, the perception of Igbos and domination has changed

tomakint:

Onlytruth, I am a big fan of your work (good job)! The Igbos will always have my support any time any day, they have been terribly cheated, maligned, and above all marginalized! The truth of the matter is,The Igbos are wiser now, likewise the Niger Deltans, and permit meto say the Core North knows what they are doing and this is no joke. My only headache are Yorubas elite class who will always tilt towards the north, now the question? When will that terrible curse spewed on the Yoruba race be reversed! I am a just a Yoruba guy not a typical one!

HNosegbe: Another drama. Let's go there!!! *grabs popcorn and chicken*

You are a bastard.Ask the man who calls himself your father

CHESSBOARD:

I sacked mine long time ago, just as the Boko Haram insurgent was springing up

HNosegbe: But seriously, I have to ask, again, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE NORTHERNERS?

Olodostein:

You make very good point here. Unless they step on our toes, will we strike back.

As for the Niger Deltans, they can carry their own cross. I hardly come across any Niger Deltan that defends igbo's like our people like to do for them

Ndigbo, know your priorities. Know your battle.

Olodostein:

Wow. You are making a lot of Sense.

Keep it up!!!!

Olodostein:

Hahahaha.... Another WISDOM. Bros , you be Solomon ooo.

The Niger Deltans think they know how to play politics. It is very evident on Nairaland here by their folks.

Ndigbo know your batttle. Let us all play Politics. Afterall , we are all political animals.
