Thunder fire you there, if na cocain him carry. He will suddenly become Igbo abi. Una get sense. He is a Biafran, and norway is Biafra-friendly, very peaceful, serene country. A Biafran female writer was even granted asylum there because of the Islamic jihadist in Nigeria. She now writes for Norwegian paper.

Chigozie Obioma (born 1986) is a Nigerian writer. He is, effective Fall 2015, an Assistant Professor of literature and creative writing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.[1] He has been called, in a New York Times book review, "the heir to Chinua Achebe."[2]

His first novel, The Fishermen, is on the shortlist for the 2015 Man Booker Prize,[3] on the shortlist for the FT/OppenheimerFunds Emerging Voices Award,[4] on the shortlist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize,[5] and on the shortlist for the Edinburgh Festival First Book Award.[6]

The Fishermen was a New York Times Sunday Book Review Editor's Choice selection,[7] one of the American Library Association's five best debuts of spring 2015,[8] a Publishers Weekly book of the week,[9] and one of Kirkus Review's "10 Novels to Lose Yourself In."[10]

Obioma states that, in addition to being a tribute to his siblings, the novel aims to "build a portrait of Nigeria at a very seminal moment in its history (the annulled presidential elections of 1993), and by so doing deconstruct and illuminate the ideological potholes that still impede the nation’s progress even today."[11]

He is just 27 but already a Professor in Nebraska? This cannpt happen in the zoo. We really need Biafra more than ever,nigeria drags us backwards.

Nigeria in Diaspora contests city council election in Norway
News Wednesday, September 16, 2015

By Emeka Aginam

Effort to make Nigerians leaving in diaspora to be part of international polity has started yielding the expected result as a Nigeria born Norwegian Peter Obiora Nwafor, an IT consultant is set to win city council election for Christian Democratic Party in Bergen ,Norway’s second biggest city.

Speaking in a world press conference yesterday whileunfolding his road-map, Nwafor, an Anambra indigene from Isuofia, in Aguata local government said that he was chosen by Christian Democratic Party to be the party’s prospective council candidate based on his promising resolve to make a difference in governance.

He assured that his mandate, if elected, would be to implement the party’s policies and programmes accordingly." I was chosen by Christian Democratic Party to be the party’s prospective council candidate and was also popular for my campaign for inclusiveness, inclusive labor market with equal opportunities and rights for all.”

Continuing, he said that his campaigns also encompassed a “strengthened bilingual education, good tuition for all; accepting more refugees in Bergen, increased resources for introduction of centers for refugees and immigrants, increase state housing allowance, support initiatives that gives children from poor families opportunity to participate in cost demanding activities, tax exemption and good working condition for volunteer organization among others" he explained.

Meanwhile, Norway is a country of about 5 million people, administratively divided into 19 counties (fylker) and a further 430 municipalities (kommuner).There are national elections in odd years, alternating between the national and the local levels. The national voting age is 18, but this year 20 municipalities will conduct an experiment with voting rights for 16 year old

Honestly in a just world, Igbos will be running everything in Nigeria. No, I'm not Igbo but have read about the Igbos for yrs. This people are not ordinary black people. Go and read every single account by colonial masters when they arrived East of the Niger...one thing is common and repeated " they are civilized as whites". The same colonial masters wrote that the blacks they met in the west...yorubas were " barbarous" . I'm not making these up...these are facts.

Igbos are one of the lost jewish tribes that went to Africa. Western governments are aware of this fact particularly Britain but will never reveal it. Here is what the American government said during the Biafran war...exact quote


"Igbos are wandering Jews of West Africa - gifted, aggressive, westernized, and at best, envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the Federation---" (a White House Memo on Biafra January 28, 1969 to President Nixon by Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger) (Source : U.S Foreign Relations Documents Volume 5 , 1969)

Dr. Thomas Sowell, renowned American philosopher in one of his books recognized four highly gifted races/ethnicities across the world: The Jews, Germans, Chinese and Igbos. Dr. Sowell in his book details how the Igbos were strategically almost wiped out and their resources pillaged and gobbled up in an attempt to relagate them to nothing out of sheer envy and wickedness however miraculously defied their enemies in less than 40 yrs reclaiming her once held position as the gifted race except now with a wide margin that their rivals could never catch up to them.

If only Igbos know who they are, some of them will go mad in anger. There has been a deliberate attempt to obfuscate their true identity and hold them down, they succeeded with former but not the latter, which has them wondering...there is a power behind them.

First of all, I hate getting myself into all this tribalism nonsense. I don't care who achieves whatever. But then again, to each their own.
But the emboldened got to me. I'll advice you to stop spreading falsehood. Dangote is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria, only after the Federal Government, and this is a verifiable fact. Dangote has more employees than the entire banking industry in Nigeria. Very soon he'll own a refinery, and you know what that means.

Last election we won 3 seats in Lagos House of Representative, by 2019, if Nigeria is still standing as one country we should be looking at 10 House of Representative seats and by 2023, if Nigeria hasn't fallen, we should be targeting the deputy Governor. If Ndi-Igbo can focus on this task the way we focus on our businesses, i'm assuring you all that we'll conquer Lagos state by 2031 or 2035... and then we can move to Ogun.

Note: Conquering Lagos is a task that must be fulfilled. I can't wait for the time when i'll see an Igbo man with red cap granting interviews and talking about the development of Lagos. The Fulani did it in Kwara, Ndi-Igbo can do it in Lagos.

Ndi-Igbo Mmamanu ooo
