Even though Junaid was somewhat brash, all he spoke is the truth.

It is important Ibos are constantly reminded the that they have been undermining our nationhood since independence, and will only be taken seriously once they shun their empty arrogance, irritating self-centeredness, and baseless sense of entitlement in the interest of unity, and fully join hands in our national development.

While regions that produce the bulk of crude oil and agriculture which are the mainstay of our economy unite and stay calm, those that migrate and trade, earning a living from their hosts keep fostering hatred, division and enmity. What other results do they expect?

Nigeria owes Ibos nothing.

SomebodyLovesMe:

While I agree that this is a very sensitive issue, it must be said that Igbo people are constantly shooting themselves in the foot. They do not tell themselves the truth. You seem reasonable enough, but most other Igbos don't.

I watched in amazement in the months leading up to the last elections, how Igbos openly showed and boasted about their 'mass' lack of support for Buhari. They are the only tribe in Nigeria that made so much noise and made it clear that their decision at the polls would be based purely on tribe. How many Yorubas or Hausas did you hear boasting or making threats? Wisdom should tell you that since there is a chance that Buhari might win, you should not burn bridges. You would notice that Hausas never openly opposed GEJ, even though we all know where their loyalties lay.

Unfortunately, most (not all) Igbos are not politically sophisticated. Political sophistication means ensuring that you do not create permanent enemies for yourselves, by being tactful and strategic in your political moves and utterances. e.g. how can you go to another man's land and claim that it's no man's land? That is the height of political stupidity, as such comments simply attract negative reactions and negative attention. I can't think of any other tribe in Nigeria that would be so unwise as to say such things.

There is a quote that says: In politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies , but there are permanent interests. Unfortunately, Igbos have created permanent enemies for themselves through their lack of diplomacy, and that is why things are the way they are.

Which media did Igbos use to make noise, stating that their votes in the polls would be based purely on tribe - Punch, PremiumTimes, Leadership, Osundefender, TheNation, LindaIkeji, TVC SaharaReporters or which one

What do you call 'political sophistication'? Peddling lies and propaganda in every available media in order to tarnish and paint other people black so as to make some undue political gains that are bound to boomerang? 

[b]It's basically in Yorubaland that a man like Tinubu who embezzled Lagos State would call the shots and Yorubas would still sheepishly prostrate before him and follow him and his candidate blindly. Many Yorubas sheepishly follow criminals like they have no sense.

As big as Rochas Okorocha is, he was not sure of winning a second term as a governor of Imo State because his people were not satisfied with him. In Ebonyi State, the governor's candidates failed woefully. That's the Igbos for you. Nobody can hold Igbos down for too long; they will rise up against such political leader.
It's in Yoruba land that one person would perpetually control the people's resources and they will sheepishly follow him. If it were in the South East, Akinwunmi Ambode will deny Tinubu publicly to stand a chance of winning the gubernatorial election just like Ikpeazu, Abia State PDP candidate, denied TA Orji to win some votes.

Igbo people believe no man was born to perpetually lord it over them.  

Observe that most of the people talked carelessly if not stupidly as regards 2015 elections, both in the ruling party and the opposition were Yorubas. Many  took things overboard,  threatening fire and brimstone - from Obj, Tinubu, Okupe, FFK, Lai Muhammed, Fayose, Fashola etc.

Even Yoruba people who cannot handle their families and fence-climbing thugs with no respect for the law or law enforcement called president GEJ unprintable names.

These unrepentant thieves, prostitutes and murderers of yesterday have used their giant loots to attempt to grow legitimacy and to corner the "highest-bidder-gains-it -all" political process.
They seem to feel they are born kings and queens and that attention is owed them. They do not consider anyone else's nature, but bulldoze over other people with self-righteous arrogance and supposed 'sophistication'.

For the records, Igbos supported Tinubu, and Fashola as governors of Lagos State for 16 years! That was why an Igbo man, Ben Akabueze, has been a major cabinet member in Lagos for both Tinubu and Fashola.[/b]

Facts are sacred...
Yoruba have proven beyond reasonable doubt to be chief tribalists in Nigeria and can NEVER vote anybody outside their tribe in elections. Otherwise can you compare Obasanjo’s 4 years and Jonathan's 4 years Yet Yorubas supported Obasanjo for 2nd term notwithstanding Buhari was contesting in 2003.

Yoruba has been voting along tribal line since independence (facts are sacred). Quit denigrating other tribes especially Igbos to cover your lies and ethnic bias.
The South-West zone had 14,296,163 registered voters, which represented 19.44% of the total number of voters nationwide. In terms of national electoral strength, the zone was number 2. Taking into account the electoral behaviour of the South-West since independence, the zone has proven itself, without exception, of incapable of voting anyone other than its own. 

In the 1st Republic, it voted mainly Action Group in favour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo with about 69% voters’ turnout.

In the 2nd Republic, it voted 78.75% of its total votes cast for UPN in favour of Chief Awolowo, with 70% voters’ turnout. 

In the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the pattern was repeated more or less the same, except that the total percentage of SDP’s votes in favour of Chief MKO Abiola rose up to 84.5% in the zone. 

In the 1999 presidential election, mainly because the only two candidates for the presidency were both from the South-West, the zone’s voters’ turnout was abysmally low (48.09%) with about 68% of the votes cast to APP in favour of Chief Olu Falaye. 2003 also recorded poor voters’ turnout with 71% of votes cast for Obasanjo’s PDP. 

In 2011, with no South-Western candidate fielded by any of the major parties, the South-West voted PDP when a functional alliance with the CPC failed to field in Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu or his nominee. Besides, with the vicious experience of Alliance for Democracy in 2003 when the PDP Federal Government uprooted AD government in five states of the zone, the South-West could not afford to risk having an opposition PDP government at the Federal level again; certainly not after the hard pains and toils of forming the APC. It is therefore existential for the South-West to vote APC at the presidential election.

U want a country built on hatred, ethnic bias, racial profiling, clear cut bigotry, hunger for blood and death and boiling anger in general i really just wonder what u think will happen in that country of urs built on all of these factors. In the so called biafra asaba people are regarded as lessers ibos, itsekiri claim dey are greater dan ijaw people, andoni people will kill ndoni in a heart beat and d ikwerre lands ate in constant turmoil against each other not to talk of other ethnic racism happening right there in biafra land and u think with secession all will become eldorado right? Pls ask south sudan before u destroy your childrens future by listening to a charlatan like Nnamdi kanu. Even in rwanda with serious hatred on the 90s just here are leaving in peace and try to move forward togeda and u who declared war on nigeria say we are the problem of the country. Pls getting a degree alone isnt emof to call urself educated if u still believe biafra is d solution to your problems.

why is it ,by fire by force,igbos must be in a somewhat position?? shouldnt it be,the best man or woman gets the job,wheather they are igbos or not??.......if igbos are not good at the job,then their is no reason a tall,to appoint them....

nzeobi:

The few sensible people on nairaland

kettykin:


How did he insult yorubas

cccxxiii:


Inasmuch as it is about the best candidate getting the job, we must not forget the Nigerian state is ethnically diverse.

So federal appointments must also be seen to have been spread across each geo-political zone, That is equity and sincerely thats the only way any group will not feel marginalized or cheated.

These things happen in states too.

Tkester:


Mehn I tireooh. Honestly these things are becoming annoying. I was talking to a friend in Abuja the other day, and I told him if a second civil war should break out, Igbos should rather fight for their freedom or forever cease to exist. I do think that the way Nigeria is going break-up may be imminent.

Honestly the ethno-religious divide in Nigeria today is becoming too unbearable.

Stolen:
Speaking from both sides of your mouth again.


Buhari dont owe igbos but if igbo leave no more Nigeria.


Retarrd! We will leave and there definately will be no more Nigeria sooner than u think.

PedroJP:





And someone will come here and shout one Nigeria for me.


Is it not better Armageddon starts from Nigeria ?


Don't worry, u shall have ur so called consequences in full n in due time.


Viva Biafra.

erikcantona:

ibedun:


50 years on, you still dey talk "if only". Well if only Biafra had prepared and get itself powerful allies. A 30-something year old Indian-hemp smoker led a whole race of largely rural village dwellers to destruction and slaughter. Na war o!

kettykin:


He doesn't owe biafrans and biafrans don't owe him anything including loyalty as simple as that.

Omambala1:
To be frank, this is exactly why I like the killing s going on in the North by bokoharam.

With this comments from this Islamic extremists called Juniad, boko haram pls continue decimating the North. We like it.

truefact:

You can't even make noise....Yorubas are true slave...you are weak to try to remove your chains. ...at least igbos are bold enough to shout and talk squarely at the so called owners of Nigeria ...yoruba can't dare this....I hope you know that

Weeee:
Look at this id.iot, Because few Yorubas are in the state, does that make the state a Yoruba land? Okay, Lagos is Igbo land then. Fooooooooool

Xsolutions:
There's something VERY WRONG with the IGBO tribe...the past election and there after greatly revealed the MIND of the average Igbo Man and Woman: VERY UNREASONABLE, HATES TRUTH, TRIBALISTIC, DELUDED AND VIOLENT

The reason why a number of people these days say they are the ''The Most Hateful And Tribalistic Group In Nigeria'' is not only because it's TRUE but because people (other tribes) are MORE AWARE of their character more than ever before.

The Igbo man is NOT for PEACE, REASON,UNITY; what they want is CONTROL, MANIPULATION TO ACHIEVE THEIR AIMS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER TRIBES WHO THEY UNREASONABLY PERCEIVE AS THEIR ENEMIES

BUT THERE ARE A VERY FEW AMONG THEM WHO ARE TRULY GOOD AND REASONABLE PEOPLE ...YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH...

But you see...no matter the EVIL they may wish NIGERIA; saying the ''Zoo must Fall'' , GOD's good intentions for Nigeria and it's people will come to pass. AMEN!

ArodewilliamsT:


Madam, bother not, the zoo is going down. We Biafrans thank Chukwu Abiama for extremists like Buhari and Junaid Moh'd. It helps our cause a lot. Extremism shall meet extremism. The one with animal intellect will bow to the one with Superior intellect. Zoogeria is gone, it CAN NOT BE REDEEMED. The coming months will be very interesting. I reserve my pity for Igbos who still believe in the ZOO.

Gakwe123:
Bear in mind that there will be no Nigeria without the ibos you better tell buhari to let them go loud mouthed fool like you.

That is what YOU THINK, there's no where my comment suggests God forced anyone to live together. Cain and Abel were brothers, Joseph had Brothers, David had Brothers so the KEY thing here is CHOICE!!!
