Igbo leaders are greedy, selfish – Etcetera...

I was told that every Igboman who heard Ojukwu’s speech after the Biafran war was filled with a renewed sense of pride and hope. A hope that one day, the Igbo nation will rise and become a force of reckoning with, not just in Nigeria but in the entire black world. I have read that speech over and over, and each time I read through, I am filled with pride and imagination of how those, who heard the words pouring out of the mouth of the warlord himself must have felt. Before going any further, let me recount a little part of what the late sage said, while addressing the press: ‘In the three years of the war, necessity gave birth to invention. During those three years of heroic bound, we leapt across the great chasm that separates knowledge from know-how. We built rockets, and we designed and built our own delivery systems. We guided our rockets. We guided them far, we guided them accurately. For three years, blockaded without hope of import, we maintained all our vehicles. The state extracted and refined petrol, individuals refined petrol in their back gardens. We built and maintained our airports, maintained them under heavy bombardment. Despite the heavy bombardment, we recovered so quickly after each raid that we were able to maintain the record for the busiest airport in the continent of Africa. We spoke to the world through telecommunication system, engineered by local ingenuity; the world heard us and spoke back to us! We built armoured car tanks. We modified aircraft from trainer to fighters, from passenger aircraft to bombers. In the three years of freedom we had broken the technological barrier. In three years, we became the most civilised, the most technologically advanced black people on earth.’ Ojukwu, with those few lines, defined the ingenuity and never-say-die spirit God has embedded in the marrows of the Igboman. But my question for Ndigbo is, where has this ingenuity, for which the entire world has given them a standing ovation, gone? Why can’t it be used today to enhance the cause of Ndigbo? Can’t we re-enact the same war time feat to launch ourselves back to reckoning again in Nigeria and in the entire black world? Since Ojukwu died, Ndigbo have been like sheep without a shepherd. Those who we thought could take up the mantle of leadership are nothing but selfish entities, who care for nothing but their personal interest. As I am writing this article, I just got words that a senator in Imo State has been discovered as a saboteur, working against the interest of his people because he has been promised to be made Senate president in the new political dispensation which begins on May 29. What is it with Ndigbo and greed? How long are we going to kill ourselves? Isn’t it a gargantuan shame that a tribe as populous as Ndigbo can’t provide a single individual that is seen to be credible enough to be elected president of Nigeria? A casual observation of the performances of the governors of the south eastern states will reveal their level of under-performance since 1999. Case point, take Aba which has failed to enjoy any meaningful development since the 1929 Aba women riot. The place is a total mess. What have the governors done with what has been accruing to the state in the last 16 years of democratic rule? The fact that these individuals, who have mismanaged fortunes of the state consider themselves fit to even contest election is a slap on the faces of Ndigbo. Ndigbo, are we cursed? The red-cap goons known as Ohaneze do nothing but crawl from one place to another, offering themselves for sale and for use. This has been their money-making scheme for too long and it can no longer hold water. Can’t we take a cue from the style Dangote adopted and made a kill? The Yoruba have already adopted it and it is working. We have to restrategise to become that economic power house we crave. The idea that every Igboman who makes money, whether through his ingenuity or by accident, becomes misguided and begins to push for political office even though they are clearly not professional politicians should be discarded. We hear of Dangote, the Dantatas, Otedola, Mike Adenuga, the Okoyas, where are the Igbo equivalent in terms of their organisational set-up? Most of our businesses are largely one-man businesses and whenever the founder dies, the whole thing dies. Ndigbo must do away with their selfishness and personal greed, otherwise we will continue to languish as a people. We must redirect our thoughts away from the deeply engrossed notion of “to make it in life,” “we must make money at all cost.” What Ndigbo should learn from the just concluded elections is that without a harmony of opinion, all our efforts will yield nothing. Igbo kwezuenu....

The Lording the Ijaws have had on Igbos is so systematic thatit's invisible to Igbos. Yorubas/Fulanis lord over igbos, but the way we do it is too obvious.

1. After the war, the cowardly igbos were too weak to take back their possessions and Land (which is not Ph).

2. Ijaws have played Igbos into their hands that they continue to use the igbo race as their stand stool. Today, Igbos will die on top of Ijaw matter (Allison Madueke & GEJ)

3. Fulanis are conquering Ibolands and Ibo women. But who do Igbos attack? Your guess is right....Yorubas.

4. Guess what? PH or Igwocha will remain 100% SS land. grin Land grabbers.

5. Biafra is even an Ijaw word.....once again, the Ijaws are giving Igbos their identity, while Dokubo continues to use the Biafrans to fight for his NIger Republic.

6. Ijaws used and dump Igbos to become 1st citizens....once again, the Ijaws stepped over the 3rd majority tribe. So Fulanis/Yorubas/Ijaws have ruled over Nigeria. The noisemaking tribe can only lead a country under Biafra.

Ilekedi, it's no good spreading lies and falsehood online to paint other people black to score some cheap points for your biased tribe.

The main problem you and your tribe have is that you consider anyone telling you the bitter truth as an enemy.

Yorubas have constituted themselves as the most embittered and pained that a people seek self-determination. You and your lots have created fraudulent monikers masquerading as SE/SS people to attempt to quench the call for self-determination. You have created many threads on NL to register your anger and displeasure against IPOB to no avail.

Yorubas and their cohorts have threatened to kill Igbos and confiscate their properties across the country should they continue to press for a separate existence. And yet it's not working. You have tried your usual campaign of calumny to malign Igbos and it's not working.

In 1963, Ladoke Akintola colluded with Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello to get Awolowo arrested for coup plotting. This was the first alleged coup plotting/treason and Awolowo was jailed for 10 years until Ojukwu released him from the Eastern prison. Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed just to spite Awolowo. But Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had to team up with the incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the All Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA).

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, revealed the truth about the notorious liars and history distortionists by declaring, "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA".

Some time ago your masters dared Yorubas on Ilorin and Offa, declaring, "We Are Taking Illorin And Offa With Us, North Dares Yoruba: https://www.nairaland.com/885595/taking-illorin-offa-us-north "?

"And let me tell you that in the event of the breakup of this country, Ilorin and Offa will remain 100 % Northern Nigeria and not one inch of land will be ceded to yorubas".- Junaid Mohammed.
http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/69271-north-ready-nigeria-s-breakup-if-junaid-muhammed.html

A couple of weeks ago Olu Falae was abducted from his farm in Ondo State by 6 Fulani herdsmen, in the presence of 200 Yorubas. He was kept in the bush for 4 days until a ransom was paid. And immediately all that Yorubas could do was to put the blame of Falae's abduction on Igbos even when Falae had revealed that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped him! And the Fulani herdsmen warned that if he dares make noise about the kidnap, they will come again for him.

Unfortunately for Yoruba they could not lay their hands on Igbo shops to loot and lock! There was no Iyaloja or Babaloja to impose on Igbo traders/markets or the Hausa-Fulani markets in Lagos.

WHAT HAS IGBOS DONE TO YORUBAS TO EVER WARRANT THEIR ETERNAL HATRED AND CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY FOR SO MANY DECADES NOW EVEN AFTER YORUBAS BACKSTABBED IGBOS AND COLLUDED WITH THEIR MASTERS TO GLEEFULLY COMMIT GENOCIDE ON IGBOS IN 1966-70?

In the 1990s MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat Abiola, were killed by your masters and heaven was not let loose and all that your agberos and OPC could do was to vent their anger on innocent people on the streets of Lagos; killing and maiming as many people they can lay their hands on.

Abdu$9l9mi and co poisoned Abiola in prison after being locked up for years.
Kudirat Abiola, 5th wife to MKO Abiola was gunned down by Al-mustapha in broad daylight. Bola Ige's life was snuffed out by "unknown" persons. Despite his kneeling and weeping before a junior officer, Gen Oladipo Diya was jailed for plotting a coup to unseat his master Abacha. He has not being his usual self as he was alleged to have been gang b9nged in prison.

Ernest Shenokan was humiliated out of office like a street tout after just 80 days in office. Diya, Adisa, Olanrewaju were humiliated and thrown out of office like common man on the street.

Hausa-Fulanis have given prominent Yoruba men an overdose of humiliation that will last them a life time despite using them as slaves to prosecute the 1967-70 civil war against Igbos. But Yorubas have only but maintained a deafening silence and would rather point accusing fingers on Igbos who have been far from political power for close to 50 years.

Awolowo used starvation to kill millions of Easterners and he ended up in a miserable way by suicide and died fulfilled as he was short-changed from being the ruler of the country by the same people he served to unleash death on Igbos.

Benjamin Adekunle a.k.a the Black Scorpion boasted of his killing spree on Igbo civilians. And he ended his life in a most miserable way - he ate his own excrement until he chose death in 2014.

MKO Abiola committed a lot of atrocities against the country. Aside looting national treasury he was known to sponsor many of the coups in Nigeria. He arrogantly sunk some containers of Christian books and paid off the importer just to curry favour from his Islamic masters, and he indeed died unfulfilled.

MKO Abiola boasted that he can do without the Igbos. But when Yorubas started their trouble in 1993 using 'June 12' with their Odua Republic in mind prominent Igbos joined NADECO to champion the course to restore Abiola's mandate.

Ralph Obioha and Bobo Nwosisi were the only people with Abiola when he declared himself president-elect. Yoruba people were nowhere to be found and couldn't even protect him from being whisked away until he was eventually poisoned to death in prison.

And to worsen the matter Yoruba Obas sold Abiola and his mandate to Abacha for a mesh of porridge.

Yorubas had the presidency for over 11years with Obj ruling in the democratic dispensation 1999 to 2007 (8 years without breakage)
Yorubas had very important positions under GEJ. A couple of Yoruba people were featured on the Forbes magazine as top richest with Folorunso Alakija becoming the richest black woman on earth.

Remember, the atrocious deeds of your forbears will continue to haunt unrepentant Yoruba generations. The hatred, greed and wickedness of the Yoruba Nation would consume them, sooner than later! Be warned!

[size=14pt]Selfish And Greedy Ohaneze Igbos Does Not Speak For Ndigbo By Lauretta Onochie [/size]

Many Nigerians have watched with tongue in cheek as the group known as Ohaneze Ndigbo has paraded itself as the group with the interest of Ndigbo. For starters, let us look at the meaning of Ohaneze Ndigbo. Oha means the ordinary people. Eze means King or in this case, Elites. The phrase Oha na Eze Ndigbo as an organisation would mean an association that is for all Igbo people, irrespective of whether they are elites or ordinary Ndigbo or their social .

But what we have seen in Ohaneze is an organisation that is far from representing the interests of the ordinary Igbo people. The ‘Oha’ have been completely relegated to the background. For many years, children of school age would be seen at various markets in Eastern Nigeria learning how to use calculators and shunning formal education. Their main ambition, or should I say the life plan for such children by their parents is a life in one of those dingy market stalls, with 10,000 power generating sets and no ventilation. Did Ohaneze care? No! It did not occur to them that they could mobilise the Oha in each market to invest in one massive generator that can serve everyone. Like this, they would breathe in clean air and live longer. But why should they do anything in the interest of the Oha? They are the ordinary hard-working commoners! Their own children are in some of the best schools across the world acquiring sound education that will position them to continue as the elites, the Ezes, over the downtrodden Ordinary Ndigbo, the ‘Oha’ .

Around the end of April, 2013, we all woke up to find the remains of scores of Igbo youth floating on Ezu River. Their crime? They had a peaceful demonstration at Onitsha calling for the actualisation of the defunct state of Biafra. Although I am vehemently opposed to the reason for their protest, they did not deserve to be summarily executed and dumped in the Ezu river. It would make a cheery read if Ohaneze Ndigbo can tell Nigerians how much pressure it mounted on the government of Pres. Jonathan to try to bring to justice those who killed such number of Igbo and Nigerian youth.

Nigerians are waiting.

In the twilight of the Jonathan administration, it was the same Ohaneze that connived with that government to dupe Ndigbo, promising what other Nigerians saw as desperate hoodwinking of Ndigbo to win unmerited votes. Ohaneze Ndigbo stood with President Jonathan as he lied, wilfully, that the second Niger Bridge would be a reality. Some of us raised the alarm that they were playing on the intelligence of the Oha but Mr. Ifeanyi Uba, armed with sacks of Jonathanian loot, rampaged through the South East, where most things are for cash and carry. Consequently, our warnings fell on deaf ears and today, an organisation that has mud in its face, an organisation that misled its people, an organisation that serves only its elites, is rearing its ugly head, shamelessly pretending to be speaking for Ndigbo.
President Buhari has been painstakingly putting a cabinet of men and women of integrity together. Nigerians are certain that this ministerial cabinet will not include the same people that misled and benefitted from the Jonathan administration. Ohaneze are now calling on Ndigbo to reject ministerial positions under Pres. Buhari. It’s a case of, “Since we have completely lost relevance, no other Igbo people should emerge as leaders.” Who are these people? What do they want for The Oha, the ordinary Ndigbo? On one hand they cried, “Lopsided appointment and marginalisation”, on the other, they canvass for the rejection of appointments from the Buhari administration.

They are spreading the same venom across their ranks. It’s interesting that the youth wing of the elite organisation went after Barr. Festus Keyamo, calling him “a desperate political sycophant who sees insulting the Ndigbo as the fastest way to get the attention of Buhari for consideration for a political appointment.” Coming from a confused youth wing of Ohaneze, who can take such myopic ridicule seriously? The anti-Nigeria stance of Ohaneze Ndigbo is not lost on other Nigerians.

Ordinary Igbo families are comfortable living in all parts of Nigeria. They know that Nigeria is the only nation they have. The civil war has been over decades ago. Even the late Igbo leader, Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, founded a political party and fully participated in the political and electoral processes of our nation. The divisive nature of the utterances of Ohaneze are nothing but self-serving. It’s all about them and nothing to do with Ndigbo in general.

I dare say to Ohaneze Ndigbo, “You do not speak for Ndigbo”. You speak for yourselves. NOI Polls, an outfit run by the immediate past Minister for Finance, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, published that 92% of the sample polled from the South East are very happy with the Nigeria of today. Ndigbo are also a reasonable nation. They are not the ones crying “Lopsidedness” when they know that no laws have been breached and that there are more appointments coming that will favour every part of the nation. Most importantly, they also know that with the new Sheriff in town, every appointee will serve all Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic origins.

Ohaneze Ndigbo, a self-interest organisation may have represented Ndigbo in the long distant past but in recent years, they have not been representing the interests of the ordinary Nigerians of the Igbo stock. It’s time to close shop and allow a Pan-Igbo organisation that has the interest of Ndigbo to emerge. The current Ohaneze is a trading organisation that sells hatred, religious bigotry and ethnic bias…wares Nigerians rejected by electing President Buhari.

We were witnesses when this organisation was speaking from both sides of its mouth, depending on who paid them last, before the last election. It’s either they deliberately misled their people or they were too focused on the proceeds from selling their people that they did not read the bold handwriting on the wall. The good news is that the government of Pres. Buhari is a people-centred government that will act in the best interests of all Nigerians irrespective of whether they voted for him or not.

Many years ago, the Late father of Anioma people of Delta State, the Late icon Chief Dennis Osadebey, saw the self-centredness and the rot in this organisation and hurriedly left, rightly taking shelter in his own Anioma ethnic identity. Today, there are still Nigerian patriots like the fierce Festus Keyamo who smell, from afar, the mischief this organisation continues to create in their region and elsewhere. So they have sent their elite sons to insult a Nigerian role model. If Festus Keyamo declared the truth because he seeks public office, which he merits, anyway, it would still be a long way better and more patriotic than barking at the leadership of this nation for food. Well, this is not President Jonathan’s administration where people were paid for being unreasonable. If Festus Keyamo must apologise to Ohaneze Ndigbo, Ohaneze must first, apologise to Ndigbo for misrepresenting them all these years.

Henceforth, regional organisations that do not represent the interests of their people will have all Nigerians to contend with. Nigerians have found their voice and will no longer tolerate a sect of elites who carry on as if they own their geo-political zones. The South East belongs to the ordinary Nigerians of Igbo stock. Nigerians will support them to call their elites to order if their voices fail them. The South East is part and parcel of Nigeria. All Nigerians have a right to speak up on what goes on there, the same way Ndigbo are free to speak on issues in other regions.

Finally, leading up to the last elections, Ohaneze could not read the writing on the wall for the simple fact that the body only thinks in terms of Dollars. And they were suffocated with it so they happily misinformed their people and turned them away from the “Change” direction the whole nation was headed. It was in Delta State that an ex governor told some Deltans to go and seek help from the person they voted for. That is PDP spirit. Thank God President Muhammadu Buhari is not cut from the same fabric as Ex-Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan. He is the President of Nigeria, not the president of those who voted for him. He will make appointments to cover the states across the nation. The best part of this is that the appointees will serve all Nigerians and not only where they come from.

Ohaneze, old or young, men or youth, must change their modus operandi. They must focus within to find ways of properly representing Ndigbo in general. They must start showing interest in issues that interest the Oha. Otherwise, there will be more Festus Keyamos and this could lead to the demise of the near moribund elitist organ. Welcome to Nigeria, a new Nigeria where there is no more free money.

Lauretta Onochie

The Most Aduterous And Fettish Tribe In Africa Is Yoruba - By Pamela Druckerman

PastorPLC:
A Kenyan Historian has come up with his new research that the most adulterous and fetish tribe in Africa is Yoruba Read:

Infidelity is universal. But which country boasts the most cheaters? The tableau of adulterous and fetish have become famous internationally as proof that the Yoruba (a tribes in Nigeria) are uniquely known for extramarital affairs.

In fact, although Yorubas seem to have an infidelity record approaching 100 per cent, ordinary Yoruba men and women claim it is a way of life. In a 2004 world survey, In Yoruba land, just 88 per cent of married men and 92 per cent of women said they had had more than one sex partner in the one week (the worst approximation of infidelity even worst than Sodom).

I quickly discovered that global sex research is patchy and incomplete. Even serious researchers can't even agree on what to call infidelity. Nigerians prefer the term "sexual networking." and "simultaneous multi-partnerships."

Then there's the tricky matter of what constitutes cheating. A poll in one South African magazine had separate categories for men who cheat, and men who cheat "while drunk." One American survey defined sex as "either vaginal or anal intercourse," while another decided that sex is a "mutually voluntary activity with another person that involves genital contact and sexual excitement or arousal, that is, feeling really turned on, even if intercourse or orgasm did not occur." But all these are common among Yorubas, a tribe in Nigeria. In our research we are yet tried to count their so-called "emotional affairs," in which the "cheaters" might never meet. Though, we are still making more findings on Yoruba race to conclude their fetish belief which they called "magoon."

No Yoruba man here has tackled this point.

So apparently, while oil producing lands though in the Yoruba speaking parts of the Delta parts of old Bendel state were carved out and joined to the greater Yoruba speaking area of SW, Ondo in particular.

Igbo speaking territories were joined to Ijaw territories in Rivers and made to take on distinct ethnic nationalities.

You would agree with me that if Ilaje were Igbo speaking and located at the boundary between Rivers and Imo, Ilaje will be made to take a distinct ethnicity from the rest of Ndiigbo in Imo state and then placed in Rivers state as a distinct Ilage ethnic nationality. It wouldn't be hard to find greedy elements amongst them to be empowered and then drown other dissenting voices, and as years go by, the natural rule of " if you can't beat them, join them" takes place, and the ranks of the denials keep swelling as the ranks of the dissenting ones keep diminishing.

...to educate you and keep the records straight read this excerpt by one of your own - Waheed B. on HOW YORUBA TRADITIONAL RULERS CONNIVED WITH ABACHA TO ROB MKO ABIOLA OF HIS MANDATE:

Traditional rulers have lost the political authority that they hitherto enjoyed. They are now mere ceremonial rulers. Except for the semblance of royalty and obvious opulence associated with some of them, it is not out of place to say that some royal fathers have become obvious embarrassment to their subjects by desecrating their royal and ancestral stools.
The Yoruba have not forgotten in a hurry how some of their traditional rulers connived with the military junta to ensure that the annulment of June 12 election victory of late Chief MKO Abiola was not reversed. Some of them did not fare better, under the late General Sani Abacha, probably the most enigmatic and despotic ruler to have ever piloted the affairs of Nigeria. Under his reign, Nigeria was in political and military quagmire. Even his deputy at a time, Gen. Oladipo Diya, was caught in Abacha’s web of bestial conspiracy following his alleged involvement in a hoax coup.
Diya was on his way to the Golgota. To drum up support for his evil machination, Abacha needed the support of Yoruba monarchs to nail Diya’s coffin. Quite a number of them were invited to the seat of power to watch the video of how Diya knelt, cried and begged Abacha, who was the protagonist, in the theatre of absurdity, to spare his life. Diya, according to some Yoruba monarchs, was the obvious mastermind of the coup. It was a case of dog eating dog. Abacha achieved his sinister aim using some Yoruba monarchs.
Many years after that portentous Abacha era, Lagos monarch, Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, had revealed the role he played as a commissioner of police in the alleged bribery of some Yoruba monarchs by Abacha to frustrate the actualisation of the mandate given to Abiola.

Bloody, greedy history distortionists and treasury looters!

The Most Aduterous And Fettish Tribe In Africa Is Yoruba - By Pamela Druckerman


[size=14pt]Igbos Now Produce More Prostitutes Than Other Regions..Rochas Okorocha[/size]

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, on Saturday expressed his disappointment with the way and manner more Igbo ladies are taking to prostitution.
.
Addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful at Orlu Township Stadium at the weekend, the Executive Governor of Imo State, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha said that South East states now produce the highest number of prostitutes in the country as a result of bad representation by the Igbo leaders.
According to him, every nook and cranny of the country you go to you always find young ladies of Igbo extraction selling their supposed priced body for money.
Governor Okorocha described Igbo leaders as self-serving who do not have the interest of their people at heart. He noted that due to the economic crunch that is prevalent in the zone many ladies have taken to prostitution as a profession.
The state helmsman described the people of Orlu zone as good people who have always supported him through their prayers and encouragement, enjoining them to keep it up.
Governor also took a pound of flesh from the Apex Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo State, Chief Martin Agbaso, by describing him as an acclaimed King maker who could not make himself a king.

He dismissed the claim that he was made the governor by Chief Agbaso, wondering how a man who has vied for the same position for the up two times and failed could make him a governor.
Okorocha said that APGA was dead before he joined the party, claiming that his presence revived it.
“APGA was dead and I came in and APGA won an election”, he said, adding that “he made me a governor but he could not make himself governor”.
Governor Okorocha who is the APC Governors' Forum Chairman disclosed that there were two factions of APGA in the state, the APGA-PDP and his own faction of APGA, maintaining that he joined APC for the sake of Ndi-Igbo.
He assured the Igbo nation that it is only through the APC platform that an Igbo man can become the President of Nigeria.
He flayed the Federal Government, revealing that among the five top positions in the country, none is being occupied by a person of Igbo extraction, even as he reminded the crowd at the Stadium that the only post in the military which was held by an Igboman has been confiscated from him. He promised them that Ndi-Igbo would be better with the APC.
Okorocha enjoined them to massively troop over to the APC, adding that Imo people have ran away from the PDP as going back to the PDP could be likened to going back to Egypt.
He further described the symbol of APGA as a cockerel which is only good at Christmas because people slaughter it and eat it at the yuletide period.
According to him, he could have won the election irrespective of the party he emerged from, even Labour Party.

Who then advocated for Ikwerres to be recognised as separate from the Nigerian cinstitution.Is it Igbos?? Where Ikwerres active participants in the COR state creation?? In the truth and reconciliation commission, did Elechi Amadi exolain himself as Igbo or Ikwerre..When Amaechi was screened in the National Assembly did he refer to his people as Ikwerre or Igbo.

You are using the generalisation of the british to Peg Igbo on Ikwerre.The british who would say and do anything for convenience..Wasnt the british the same people who lumped dissimilar people people into Nigerian state, didnt they lumped dissimia people into Eastern Region, why cant they then lump ikwerre and igbo together.

Just get on with reality, we are not the same people.

Ondo state became an oil producing state through rogue boundary adjustment perpetrated during the regime of olusegun obasanjo.
Niger delta should continue to play dumbness and stupidity.
The same obasanjo wanted to take gas from brass to OK lng until Jonathan miraculously stepped in to power.
This is the real reason why yorubas never forgave Jonathan.

But why are you guys like this? The same Jonathan that everyone voted for in 2011, including the Yorubas. What miracle happened, was a general election not conducted where he beat Buhari Hands down?

[b][size=28pt]Yoruba, Suspected Ritualists Disguising As Lunatic Arrested in Ogun, Ibadan[/size]

eeeeeeeeeeee

A middle aged man has been arrested by officers of the Nigeria Police Force under the Ogun State Command in connection with an underground cell suspected to be ritualists’ operation base at Iyana Egbado village in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State, south west Nigeria.
The suspect was allegedly arrested with pieces of meat suspected to be chopped human parts in a polythene bag.
It was gathered that the suspect had attempted to kill a woman before she was rescued by a passers-by under a bridge, just about 250 meters away from the main gate of a popular cement company along the Abeokuta -Lagos expressway
The suspect, simply identified as Gbenga, was said to be a lunatic and had lived in the area since the past nine months.
He pleaded with the crowd not to kill him, asking for an opportunity to confess.
According to a report, the suspect told the mob that he belonged to a five-man syndicate among them a woman who operated in the Ewekoro axis of the state in the past nine months.
It was further gathered that police officers from the Itori police station arrived at the scene of the incident and thereafter whisked the suspect away to avoid being lynched by the mob that gathered at the scene of the incident.
Confirming the incident, the State Police spokesman, Mr Muyiwa Adejobi said the State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, had ordered full investigation into the incident, but quick to ask members of the public not to take laws into their hands.
In a related development, the Oyo State Police Command arrested two suspects, who disguised as lunatics, at a suspected ritualist den.
They have confessed that they were human body parts dealers.
After a security meeting with Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Indabawa, said that it was not yet clear if the suspects were involved in the Soka incident.
Residents of Soka area had, last week, found decomposing human remains, skeletons and about 23 survivors inside an abandoned building dubbed the “House of Horror”.
The discovery sparked protests in the area, with protesters targeting lunatics seen around the area.
After the protest began, the government ordered the withdrawal of lunatics from major streets, with over 42 lunatics withdrawn so far in order to prevent them from further attacks.
There are also indications that forensic pathologists sent from the Force Criminal investigation Department in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, have started work on the den.
The Oyo State Security Council, after an emergency meeting on Wednesday, reaffirmed its resolve to apprehend perpetrators of the dastardly act of kidnap at the Soka area of the state capital.
Addressing journalists after the meeting headed by the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Muhammed Ndabawa, stated that among others, preliminary investigations from the security agencies had revealed that the den of kidnappers and the activities of kidnappers in the place now tagged Evil Forest, had been in existence since about 10 years ago.

Igbo people and dark forests.....probably where they eat people


Throughout history, cultures around the world have created the concept of the evil forest, a dark, scary place where bad things happen. In Europe, these were places where witches or wolves (or even werewolves) attacked the lone passer-by. In Igbo areas of Nigeria, the Ajofia, or bad bush, still exists in some communities, although they are rapidly disappearing with development. Their potency to scare the population into line has also faded with younger generations. In these places, the traditional culture that created them has transformed in the face of modernization and a growing consumer culture. In a session at Dumbarton Oaks’ conference on cultural landscapes in Sub Saharan Africa, Ikem Stanley Okoye, University of Delaware, explained why Nigerians should start thinking about preserving some of these unique cultural landscapes.

Okoye said in contrast to what European colonialists in Africa believed, Africans did produce landscapes that were visual representations of complex concepts. Europeans believed that Africans were “not invested in their landscape,” and really had no indigenous landscape art or architecture to speak of. “Africa was contrasted with the West, which was viewed as having thought-out philosophy, landscapes, and architecture. Africa art was never seen representing landscapes.” This belief was convenient because it enabled colonialists to then occupy and ransack local resources for their own use.

Indeed, those powerful landscapes that Europeans were clueless about are still shaping the culture in Nigeria. In Okija, a Igbo traditional village in the Anambra state of southern Nigeria, priests were arrested in an Ajofia in 2004 after 30 plus corpses were discovered at the site. Amid fears of human sacrifices, the police rushed in and destroyed the forest shrines. The entire “visually spectacular raid whipped up a media frenzy.” There was “intense anxiety” about another “traditional eruption,” which, ironically enough, said Okoye, was how Western missionaries used to respond to aspects of traditional culture.

The Nigerian media and much of the public basically rushed to judgement, said Okoye. The criticism was, “why can’t they use their forests like other communities use theirs?” He thinks the priests involved “probably did nothing illegal, or beyond their own traditional Igbo norms.” It’s unlikely that missing persons were killed and buried there; more likely there were burials according to Igbo traditions over many decades. But what really shocked Nigeria was the hidden list investigators found, which showed how many of Nigeria’s rich and powerful were somehow involved. “There were scores of names, from governors to chiefs of police.” There were very public firings of officials found on the lists, and the president eventually had to intervene to protect some careers. Okoye then wondered whether the Ajofia, which was viewed as powerful because of its “impenetrable secrecy,” actually had any efficacy to keep people in line anymore, particularly given the harsh media condemnation. Almost ten years later, the Nigerian press is still interested in the story.

These days, the evil forests are actually diminishing. “The fiercesome wilderness now has limits.” Every village in southern Nigeria Igbo areas has a market and, close by, an evil forest. Towns are in effect divided into places that reflect good and bad, so some places have to represent negative powers and therefore become evil themselves. Okoye said these forests became dumping grounds for all of society’s ills. Suicides, who are anathema in Igbo culture, used to be simply dumped there to rot, unburied. Twins, who are bad luck, used to be left there. “This is place were they dump cultural garbage. This is a negative space.”

It’s also only a place priests can go. “They can enter and leave unharmed.” Once in the forest, they harvest plants, roots, and herbs to make traditional medicines that help ward off evil. “For everyone else, this is a fearful place, a place to be avoided.” And to this day, the cinema of Nigeria, which is often called “Nollywood,” often features horrifying forests with witches.

Funnily enough, Okoye said when the European colonialists arrived, the Ajofia were the first land the Igbo gave them, so to this day, you often find churches within Ajofia or next door, simply because they carved a road through what was previously a larger evil forest. The early Christians simply didn’t care that the land was deemed tainted.

Within the active Ajofia, which Okoye courageously examined on foot, there are “evil people art objects” and even landscape architecture. Claustrophobia-inducing paths cut through dense vegetation provide access points for priests who gather medicines. There are pots and vessels, which are often left at shrines at the edge of these places. An arrangement of twigs and organic materials spookily hanging from a string is actually a microcosm of the larger evil forest. “It is a landscape within a landscape. The landscape is also seen as an object.”

Okoye said, unfortunately, these fascinating places are getting taken over by development. “There is no constituency for these forests anymore,” except perhaps among old Igbo who still believe in their power. Interestingly, with the eradication of these places, crime has also risen in the villages that used to have them. Okoye thinks that’s because the power of the Ajofia to keep the community in check is waning. “There’s no present reminder of what will happen to you if you are bad.”

Okoye called for saving these places because they are “great archeological resources.” More and more archeologists are actually investigating garbage dumps and the negative spaces of society because those places tell them a lot about society – what those people valued or threw away. There is a rich history there: Many Ajofia appeared where “trans-atlantic slavery was particularly intense.”

[size=14pt]Igbos are Dirty
[/size]

Aba, the commercial nerve-centre of Abia State, bore for some time the unenviable tag of the dirtiest city in Nigeria. The reason for this was not far to seek. This city which is renowned for its manufacturing and commercial activities was plagued by the problems of insecurity, environmental disorder, poor electricity supply, etc.

The people of Aba, and indeed the entire Abia State citizenry, must have been seriously embarrassed when the Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ndozi Okonjo-Iweala in a lecture organised and attended by the Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, described Aba as very dirty.

Many visitors have also been quoted as saying that the city stank horribly, just as they criticised its bad road networks. For instance, an English woman had in a Youtube documentary written thus: “I have been to Aba. It is very dirty, (with lots of)mosquitoes. Too bad …”.

That was last year when whole roads and streets were blocked by mountains of refuse, with erosion and flood causing a lot of havoc. On Ngwa Road, by Ohanku; Asa Road by Michael’s; Asa Road by Milverton, Dear John Junction by 7UP, Ogbor Hill; Ngwa Road by Asa, Obohia Road, off Ngwa Road, Port-Harcourt Road, Jubilee to Hospital roads, heaps of refuse blocked the drainage system with the gutters oozed offensive odour.

Most disposal points had no buckets. Refuse was dropped along the roads, soiling the city and blocking free flow of traffic and causing accidents. In places like Ngwa Road by Ohanku, traders sat on the refuse with their wares.

For the people of Aba, in spite of the double taxation collected by the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, ASEPA, the agency failed woefully in its responsibility.

This was Aba before Governor Theodore Orji appointed Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu Deputy General Manager of ASEPA. His main task, Orji told him, was to keep Aba clean on a sustainable basis. It was a challenge Dr Ikpeazu accepted by assuring the people that he would transform Aba to one of the neatest cities in the country.

And some months after, Aba residents who were most critical of the return of filth to the city after the former General Manager of ASEPA, Mr Cosmos Ndukwe, became Chief of Staff, are now singing a different tune. According them, the city is now wearing a new, decent look, thanks to the new helms man at ASEPA.

Dr Ikpeazu is a former head of Head of Department of Applied Chemistry, Enugu State University of Technology, a biochemist whose main focus is biochemical toxicology and is also reputed to have carried out researches in environmental sciences.

Before his current appointment, Ikpeazu was Special Adviser on Environment and Sanitation to Orji and was also the General Manager of the Abia State Passengers Integrated Manifest and Safety Scheme, ASPIMS.

Getting set for the job

To prepare the ground for success, the new ASEPA boss was said to have tried to endear himself to the people by showing active interest in sports, schools, markets and communal engagements. He established ASEPA Clubs in schools and enforced the Governor’s suspension of tax on disposal of wastes.

Ikpeazu inherited two functional trucks in Aba – one roll-off truck and one compactor. He repaired three more roll-off trucks and increased the number of compactors to six. He also commissioned an engineer to provide more buckets to make up for the shortfall for the 62 places being served by only 18 buckets.

Indiscriminate disposal of refuse

According to his aide, Mr. Enyinnaya E. Appolos, when Ikpeazu met with the people of Aba, he had lamented the indiscriminate disposal of refuse by residents, noting that such actions frustrated his agency from keeping Aba clean.

He also urged neighbouring states to stop smuggling refuse into Aba, warning that offenders would be charged to court to serve as deterrent to others. ASEPA also kept surveillance on the Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway to stop residents from dumping refuse on the express road.

With the support of the Governor, Ikpeazu was said to have bought buckets, roller trucks and engaged enough staff. He was also advised by the Governor to carry out most of his evacuations at night.

ASEPA has about 57 buckets or giant-size waste bins. From Abia Polytechnic to Ngwa Road, there are over five buckets for people to dump their refuse. People are allowed to throw their refuse into the buckets from 5 am till night. Where there is no bucket, staff are stationed to reclaim the waste thrown into heaps, Appollos said.

When the buckets are full, the roll-off trucks, four in number, take them to a place in Ihie on Port Harcourt Road at night where the refuse is dumped.

“We monitor the exercise. His office is at the Ministry of Works, Aba. A member of Adventist Church, he goes to work from the church on Saturdays. The state funds the agency, so ASEPA does not charge individuals to dispose their refuse. Abia stopped collection of refuse charges till further notice. The state is the sole financier,” the aide informed.

In the morning, minders clean up the dump sites and cover the buckets. Each day in Aba, 70 buckets of refuse are evacuated while the staff who clean the streets follow it up by cleaning the streets. If the refuse is not cleaned for a day, there will be environmental crisis in Aba.

On account of this, the heaps of refuse in the streets have disappeared. Ehi Road, once a mountain of waste, is now motorable. The Ministry of Environment is draining Ikot Ekpene Road. It is also cleaning up gutters and trucks dispose the waste.

“Ikpeazu believes that if you get Aba right, it will serve the East and the entire Eastern region. Aba’s success should be part of the people’s passion,” Apollos went on.

Need for Federal presence

To many Aba residents, Aba has been neglected by the federal government. Aba residents told VM that the city needs a power plant. “There is no federal presence, only police and prisons. We want Aba well positioned to enable it to provide services the people need.

Aba is a market but it produces what it sells. People come from Central Africa, West Africa, etc, to Aba. Aba needs federal attention. The South East government should also think of Aba. So, the Federal Government should help Aba to become the Taiwan of Africa. Rate of activities in Aba is high. It is not just about trading, “Ikpeazu’s said.

But the agency needs more buckets and trucks. “The population of Aba is exploding due to activities of Boko Haram in the North which has forced more people to settle in the city, thereby increasing its environmental problem. Ikpeazu is interpreting the vision of Orji on waste disposal. He brought in Dr. Ikpeazu because he knows he can interpret his vision.”

pazienza:
Yes, I know, the Ikwerres were under PH division and the Ekpeyes were under Ahoada, but these groups were essentially Igbo speaking, and we're only separated from the rest of the Igbo nation because of crude oil politics. The East central Gowon created were made up of many Igbo speaking divisions as well.
Before PH division was created, Ikwerres and Etched were in Owerri division.
It was out of Owerri division that Aba and PH divisions were created for Ngwas and Ikwerres.

The 1970 division was crude oil directed.

Only Warri South has Urhobo communities. Those communities are not part of a proposed Warri state.
And the ijaw communities in Warri North and Warri South West communities are migrants less than 100 years old communities. the same way they came over the water to Edo and Ondo states
Even the colonial authorities gazetted that the local governments are indigenous to the Itsekiri.

Igbos are Destructive


[size=14pt]Destructive Ways Of The Igbo[/size]

Written by an Igbo man..... chaiii


There is someone who knows the Igbos (he is also Igbo) more than they know themselves, his name is Prof. Osuji Ozodi.
Hear what he says about the Igbos:

“Many Igbos have narcissistic, anti-social and or paranoid personality disorders; paranoia is an attempt to believe what is not true about one’s self as true; the paranoid personality posits a false grandiose image of himself and believes that he is such a special person and wants other people to kowtow to his madness and see him as he wants to be seen: a very important person; other people being healthy see him as like them, ordinary, and he feels angry at them for not seeing him as the imaginary god he thinks that he is.

I am a guy who says things about me that many persons do not tell others about themselves. I am not motivated by need to maintain good social face hence hide facts about me that do not present me in good light. Thus, somewhere I wrote that I inherited certain genetic disorders (cytochrome c oxidase deficiency and spondilolysis); I observed that some children with these medical disorders tend to wound up in wheel chairs and die in their adolescent years.

Certain Igbos took that piece of information about me (they always seek out negative information about people and use it to attempt blackmailing them; they seldom say nice things about folks…around them you must watch what you say, for as amoral people they would misuse whatever snippet of information they gain about you) and proceeded to say that they know who I am (they don’t) and that I am in wheel chairs! They did not stop right there. Their childishly fertile imagination proceeded to say all kinds of nasty things about me, all false.

They articulated these lies about me with seeming certainty that some of their fellow country bumpkins actually believed in them! In their childish minds they have shamed me (anthropologists tell us that folks living in primitive cultures, as Igbos are, employ shame to get people to conform to their primitive ways; they shame those who deviate from their nefarious ways) and made me seem like a social nobody, a nothing hence not to be taken seriously, not to be listened to. In their minds folks would only listen to what they say.

Alas, folks automatically know that they are telling lies and do not listen to them; folks, in fact, correctly evaluate them to be lunatics (only mad men believe in the improbable statements they make about folks).

Assuming that it is indeed the case that I am in wheel chairs one would think that if they are developmentally adults, not the mentally retarded, emotionally arrested and underdeveloped persons they are, they would have compassion for me and do whatever they could to help me. But in their warped minds compassion is out of the question (except when they present themselves as victims and beg for other people’s sympathy and love).

Their minds are generally devoted to seeking ways to rip-off people; to take from people but seldom to give to people; they are takers and seldom givers; they do not help folks but would take from folks; in fact, they would take food from starving children’s mouths. They are self-centered, unprincipled and amoral opportunists; they are always looking out for ways to stiff folks and steal from them rather than help them out.

These people do not seek ways to uplift mankind’s down trodden minds but add to their already intolerable suffering. Apparently, nobody told them that it is better to give than to receive, to serve people rather than exploit them.

And the sad part of it all is that they claim to be Christians; apparently, they are too daft to understand that what it means to be a Christian is to love and serve people rather than degrade and abuse them. They are anything but Christians; in my book, they are heathen and savages!

All that matters to them is to present themselves to the world as very important persons; they are always comparing themselves to other people and want to seem better than you but would not lift a finger to help you if you are in need.

Those who engage in such behaviors, in my judgment, are sub-human beings; it is insulting to consider them human beings, for human beings are different from animals because they have the capacity to love and help one another, whereas predatory animals merely take from other animals and do not care for the welfare of other animals.

Those who deliberately go out of their ways to tell lies about other people, who aim at rubbishing the name of people are evil persons”- Prof. Osuji.

My take:
This man is 100% right as some Igbo criminals have done this to me.
They have hacked into my system and used all he information obtained about me to spread all kinds of lies and disparagement about me including defrauding my Halifax and NatWest accounts in East London (this is on record with the banks). They hacked my house phone, hacked and cloned my mobile phones to listen to my conversations with people or to trace my movements.

Two months ago one of them…’Nwachukwu Ugbochukwu’ boasted onAdeyinka Grandson’s wall that, it was Igbo people who engineered the deportation of Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo from Canada (by roping her in a crime she did not commit) all because she said she hate Igbos.

On the same Adeyinka’s wall, one Tochukwu Michael Okonkwo said, Igbo have finished their investigations on Adeyinka Grandson and he can confirm that they guy has mental problems (lol), he said, Adeyinka and his family are beggars in London and they (Ibo) are working towards his deportation back to Nigeria…he repeated this on Space For Action Group page.

And last week, nearly all their so called Scholars wrote one articles or the other to tell series of damaging lies about?Femi Fani-Kayode, all because he wrote an article in defense of his fatherland (Yorubaland).

You can now see how dangerous and desperate these people can be. You can now see that, these people are truly suffering from have narcissistic, anti-social and or paranoid personality disorders as argued by Prof. Osuji.?
