So it's not "disrespectful" if he's the one that sends the wife.

Abi?

See, you can't judge what respect is base on what you think it is.
It is disrespectful if she was engaged with a quest especially an adult sibling. Such show of power in the disguise called love is wrong. Excuse the person and discuss it in private.

I'm not in support of men who are clueless and weak...they allow the woman be the man of the house, but i want to point out that there could be more to the story.

I say this because i have seen different families and how they could differ due to the personalities of the couples involved.

On this note, imagine if in this story, both husband (his elder brother) and wife are career people and they have 1 or 2 small kids and they don't have a house help. Maybe wife just got pregnant. Wife comes back from work, does her house-keeping and kitchen stuff...many wives in her circumstance need assistance. Maybe she cooking and wants to buy stuff from the provision shop, which is just a few steps from their house and the husband isnt doing anything at the time...she might have also asked politely...why can't he help out? i'm just telling you how it may have happened and how the OP may not have gotten all the details.

I do also think that African civilized society has gotten past that point where the men heaps all the house work on the woman. Some assistance is needed.
Unless you think that the op is clueless about how a home runs or just being dramatic, then his concerns are valid.

Many men would simp for their wives at some point, but I think it shouldn’t be overplayed in public.

There are some men that do dishes and wash clothes. The wife doesn’t need to go about announcing it that her husband washes clothes or her pant. That should be between them. Especially in a country like Nigeria.

She didn’t have to overplay it in your presence. Even sensible men would be wary about sending their wives unnecessary errands in the presence of his/her siblings. At best they do that thing themselves. But that one sef go bring another wahala. Omo, you can’t please world people o.
The best thing to do was to excuse the husband and tell him in private. That way, she has respected both the husband and his sibling. Nothing consign love for where respect suppose dey. Each one get him own work.

I will put strong pepper in your mouth and you will explain to me what you are doing in my house, let alone asking me to explain myself to you. I am not married to you. I am married to your brother. Because I tolerated your presence in my house, you then have the audacity to ask me questions about my family affair.

Most of you need to have your heads examined. Really!

You don't understand the concept of boundaries and privacy. She owes you nada! and your own brother also owes you no explanation with regards to his relationship with his wife.

It seems most people in that Nigeria are mad in one form or the other. You wake up, dust your seat pants, go to someone else's home and start questioning her on how she relates with her husband. Come and try it here and see where you will spend the night.

It is men like you who will subject a widow to all sorts of indignities on the death of her husband, instead of having fellow feeling for her and comforting her on the loss of her closest companion. Mtchew!
How marriage dey do una body sef? See the way you dey talk as if marriage na one kind Ogboni cult wey be sey no outsider can put mouth in; because one is married, that institution should be worshipped by everyone else. Nonsense. No be everybody give a shit about marriage. If I see my sister or brother being disrespected in his marriage, I will speak out and defend him or her. No be only when serious issues like death happen, I go come dey solve matters as brother or brother in-law.

Most of you've got a poor/absurd concept of respect. Even if your brother is the sole breadwinner in their union, I don't see how a wife sending her husband on a just errand (a wife expecting/reminding her husband to be diligent) amounts to disrespect to him.

Like in this scenario here, telling him to go and check whether the woman that sells provisions is back showed that there was a pre-existing arrangement between the husband and the provisions seller. So, I wonder how she erred by reminding her husband to strive to bring the arrangement to fruition. And don't tell me that you had expected her not to send such a request to her husband because of your presence, citing that you're a brother-in-law and obviously wasn't having some kind of formal deliberation with him.

Eschew needless pride.
Even as woke as the am Americans and others her, they still recognize that certain situations need certain etiquette and mannerism.

Don't be deceived & slumber;

Is it only Lagos that has a federal university, Airports & Express ways? *Are there none in PH, Enugu, Awka, Owerri, Kano, Kaduna or are there no universities there. *Or is the FG who ASUU is fighting not based in Abuja? Wouldn't it have been more direct, effective and embarrassing to the FG to shut down Abuja Airport?

This same thing happened with Endsars protests, was it only in Lagos that people experience police brutality? Isn't the IG in Abuja?

The way we are happy at people destroying the SW is not good & we fold our hands watching with glee at the destruction of our legacies that are being envied by the "enemies". Aren't we assisting our enemies to destroy us. *Over 300 public buses were burnt in Lagos, those buses didn't belong to Tinubu nor his family, they belong to all of us but we were seem to be happy when they were burnt down.

I want NANS to demonstrate against the prolonged ASUU strike, I want an end to Police brutality but if it is going to be sectional as it's been, then it is not right & not acceptable.

It seems as if every error in Nigeria is either committed by Tinubu or LASG whereas outside the SW, some of the other parts are simply war zones. No one protest against them. No one talks about them. The focus is on Lagos and Tinubu. It seems our success is also our problem as you must've observed, the commentators at these sad events are mostly & most time not from this land but elsewhere & done with lots of joy as it shows in their commentaries, what does that show us?

Two Sundays ago, a senator's convoy was attacked, by Tuesday, no one was talking about it. Were it to be Lagos, Punch would have written an editorial, Obi would have spoken, Afenifere would have said it was Tinubu that initiated the attack to kill him. The social media would've being screaming of Mc Oluomo, Tinubu's creation, right? Instead, mum is the word.

This hypocrisy is disturbing.

Let us not rejoice when our enemies are surreptitiously destroying us as we are then complicit or in acquiescence.
This is damn too sad, Be warned plsss.
�������‍♂️�‍♂️�‍♂️
Agree with you with your submission and sentiment. But, I also think the reason why Lagos state and not any other state has this kind of incidences and or attention is because of its cosmopolitan nature which is like a confluence, which has different tribes making a living there. And also because of the progressive nature of the people in the state. It also has the country's largest amount of activists, because the best of the people in different States reside there. The positive side of this ( though the destruction are bad) is that the vocal nature of Lagosians helps to make the state stand out from the rest in terms of good governance and accountability. It stands in the forefront for the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria.

Politics › Re: New York Times: It Had Been Biafra's Non‐ibo Minority That Suffered Most by 2elliot: 11:29am On Sep 18, 2022
spearman:
New York Times: The Biafran Minorities
It had been Biafra's non‐Ibo minority that suffered most.

Several things must not go unnoticed by a world horrified at the Nigerian tragedy and baffled by its complexities. At the showdown, Colonel Effiong, one of the few non‐Ibos in Biafra's top echelon, was left to cope with the collapse and preside over the liquidation of the secessionist effort. Nor should the world overlook that part of Colonel Effiong's surrender broadcast that said: “Our people are disillusioned and those elements of the old regime that made negotiations and reconciliation impossible have removed themselves voluntarily from our midst.”

The fact is that some Biafran leaders had long desired to negotiate for some form of Nigerian reunification under Organization of African Unity auspices rather than persevere with a hopeless secessionist struggle at appalling human cost. But these men never prevailed over the Ibo hawks who always had their way with General Ojukwu and now, judging from Colonel Effiong's remark, have presumably fled abroad with him.

Another fact which General Ojukwu inadvertently dramatized in leaving the final responsibility on Col nel Effiong is that at least until the last stages of the thirty‐month war it had been Biafra's non‐Ibo minority that suffered most. The attitude of these five million—forty per cent of Biafra's original population —toward secession was always questionable.

Many of them never wanted an independent Biafra, having resented Ibo domination in Nigeria's former Eastern Region for many years. Some of the minorities suffered savage reprisals at Ibo hands for refusing to leave their homes and accompany the retreating Biafran troops.
They made up the vast majority in Biafra's refugee camps as the secessionist enclave was reduced to the Ibo heartland. It may seem unkind to recall these things at the moment of Biafra's collapse after a tremendous struggle against overwhelming odds. But the record of Biafra's agony must be kept straight even at a time when the world's attention is rightly concentrated on alleviating the suffering and restoring peace.

https://www.nytimes.com/1970/01/17/archives/the-biafran-minorities.html
Could you also be kind enough to tell the world what roles minority tribes played in the war? They worked as informants to the Nigerian forces. In fact, in my place in Bayelsa, they used to secretly write long list of indigenes who were suspected of being Biafran sympathisers. They summit the list to the Nigerian forces who then arrested and killed most of them. About three of my uncles were killed that way in Bayelsa. One other one, his manhood was destroyed. My mom also told me how the indigenous women and men who were commanded to carry the Biafran soldiers across riverine communities used to intentionally capsize the boats midway into the journey and thus drown those soldiers who couldn't swim. My mom tells me that aside those men who were suspected to be informants for Nigerian forces, Biafran soldiers rarely brutalised them. The only bad side was that they were asked to provide food for the Biafran soldiers when they were in their communities.
And talking about Igbo domination, how long did that happen? Eastern region was carved out in 1954. And from that year to 1966 is just 12yrs. So, tell me, how much did the Igbos suffered minority tribes in just a space of 12yrs? Oil extraction only began in 1958 or so, and it was not yet the major source of the Eastern regions revenue at the time. How many minorities were disqualified despite being competent? Or they wanted quota system and not competency?

Haywhy3579:
That was a big lie and why did awolowo not becomes the president after the successful coup. The coup was based on ethnicity. The 1st coup was Igbo agender while the second coup was northern agender.
The coup did not succeed entirely. Ironsi ( who was also a target for elimination), because of his superior position was able to garner many soldiers and therefore countered the coup plotters in Lagos. Meanwhile Nzeokwu had already succeeded in the north and was waiting for report from other regions' commanders. But unluckily for him, Ironsi, an Igbo man who wasn't part of the coup botched the plan. It was then he arrested the coupists. When Nzeogwu realised that the coup had failed, he divided the north from the south and declared a separate government(state) and thus appointed a governor for the region. But when he saw that he can not consolidate on the power, he went into truss with Ironsi, thus as condition to bring back the northern region to the south, he and his men should not be tried. And that those who died should be compensated. Ironsi accepted the terms. And that was why he couldn't effect a trial immediately after their arrests. It had nothing to do with tribalism. Ironsi was just an opportunist. The intention of the coupists was to release Awolowo and make him president. And also resolve the issues of census, the Tiv crisis, and the corruption that was becoming prevalent at the time.

*HISTORY NEVER DIES....*

*By Reno Omokri*

What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia.

Reno’s Nuggets

*©️Reno Omokri*
Rhino Omokri, like a typical one Nigerian, is a sad example of the black man–and why the black race is what it is, total failure. God will speak for the Igbo man in His appointed time. From the days of slavery, the Igbo man's strength and fearlessness has attracted hate and jealousy. His strength was the gold that attracted the British to have made them go for him. And that is evidently why the Igbo made up the larger chunck of slaves. And likewise his fearlessness is what Britain and the rest of the colonial master are scared of if the Igbo man is free.

To Rhino Omokri, why is nobody talking about Emmanuel Kotoka of Ghana? Why aren't Ghanaians hating his tribe for carrying out the first coup? Hundreds of coups happened in Africa, but except Nigeria, no one is blaming the tribe any of those coup plotters came from. Something is really wrong with the Nigerian man.
And again, Rhino omokri lacks the knowledge of the true history about the coup and the war. Why aren't Nigerians Christian taking the blame for the coup since it is obvious that most of the partakers where christians? And again, why should the Igbo man in Anambrabor Enugu take blame for the actions of another from Mid West? Clear enough, Ademoyega, a Yoruba man gave his account as to why they struck, so why i are you all willfully playing ignorant?

Make u na de look for Tinubu shortcomings everyday. 2023 is near, we will see how Igbo/Obi will win. Everyone knows igbos as spoilers. They don't like us. They hate Yorubas and Hausafulanis. North and Southwest, wake up, Igbos have agendas to destroy you all

Reno Omokri is working for Peter Obi. He is trending Peter Obi on purpose. Remember when Reno Omokri said that he opened Peter Obi's Twitter account for him and that he used to operate the account on his behalf. It is very clear that Reno is Obi's PR agent.

Criminal obi can only become president of ipob never Nigeria.
After Obi is sworn in, I will like him to declare a national emergency to gather all agbadorians who are Amoda's drug addicts. You all must be taken to a mental health care home to be treated of your drug addiction and stupidity.

Ebi2233:
I laugh when i see zombiedients shouting they will collect Bayelsa. Know this for good.Your rally is not upto one percent of adult Bayelsans. Bayelsa have 650 villages and settlements they dont cross creeks to count Ijaws they do it by proxy. 645 villages and settlements are under all Ijaw tribe socio cultural organizations the rest 5 Isoko camp like communities are at theBayelsa border with Isoko of Delta.


Ijaws are for Ijaw Republic Bayelsa is the centre of the Ijaw Nation of which Ijaws were balkanized into six states when all are fully together. Any well thinking Bayelsa know that Douye Diri is a God sent to Bayelsa that have great records. His governance touch everywhere and he and the Senatorial seats, the House of Reps, House of Assembly, Chairmen even to the ward level are of PDP. They are coming back and all Ijaws know that they vote party in Bayelsa and PDP always make the enough Alchohol and the rests available.

Even Bayelsa East Senator is APC. LP controls no where dont be deceived.
You are a mad man, Ebi. Ari tibi fa, obori. Bayelsa state is fully Obidient. The crowd was massive today.

Good, they should please vote her.

This is the Nigeria I want to see, where a Yoruba man can contest for election in igboland and win, an igbo man can do the same in the north and an Hausa man can run for any office in igboland as well
This would have been the norm if Awolowo did not allow his tribalism take hold of him and when Azikiwe contested in the West.

And three out of four durg couriers come from a particular part of the country.

Watch how those who feel this post is referring to them begin to throw tantrums. smiley
At the top of the drug business chain in Nigeria is a certain Jagaban from one part of the country. He didn't even protect his own daughter from the dirty business. Chai! Mad o!

The problem is not who has economic knowledge but who Nigerians will accept.
Believe me, a leader who is not accepted cannot give his all.

Thats why Osinbajo or Amaechi should have been best choice
Very correct

can u tell us how he redeemed anambra?

Don’t forget doctors went on strike for 13 months
Lecturers went on strike for 6 months
He increased ANSU tuition fee by 70%
Don’t forget awkuzu n ezu river massacre
Don’t forget to tell us about d 250 million raw cash found with him
We don't want a one man mopol something. If tinubu dies today, his empire will fall. Even you go move on like sey Amoda been no ever exist. Tinubu is being surrounded by sycophants. I have seen it before. My own uncle ones made himself the god of our community. He controlled our oil monies like his own private money. Now that he is dead with his son he thought would inherit him, the empire collapsed and those who were singing his praises because of the crumbs they were getting have all moved on.
Una country needs someone who will not surround himself with sycophants like you, but someone who means business with good governance.

Good one. The ijaws must exert their power. We can't be feeding the entire country, yet we are taken for granted. What gives Wike the audacity to behave the way is because of the resources he controls which are mostly the ijaws'.

Your friend PROUDIGBO was even lying to Pacesetterz that the killers were fulani but here is a video evidence that the killers were Igbos.
Because I am Exposing the killers as Igbos the next thing you'll tell me is that Northerners are not insulting bokoharam I don't love my people
Are you not an Igbo? You and a few efulefu Igbo persons are behind these killings alongside the Fulani and security agents. You can't whyne me. Na because I be ijaw man and I don't have the opportunity to be present in the east, I for don fish you out and expose you to the world. My great-great grandmun is from Anukwu in Anambra state, so I see myself as an Igbo man and so love the Igbo people. Nigeria is a failed country and there is no reason to pretend. Igbo lives have been used to sustain this failed enclave, and now enough is enough. I am very angry at you, I swear. And besides, my oil money is being waste by your masters. That also gets me angry. You need to change. Don't only think think of today,thing of tomorrow. The generations of your children to come. What quality of life will they meet in one Nigeria in the next hundred years and more if this kind of system persist?
