Antoeni:
I like d speech of d new Ohaneze Ndigbo President. Pls read objectively.
In my own opinion, d enemy of Ndigbo is Ndigbo itself. I remember a time in this country when all d 6 ministers in Jonathan's kitchen cabinet were all Igbo's. Ayim Pius Ayim was SGF, Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla was in charge finance, Emeka Wogu was in Labour and productivity, Berth Nnaji was in Power and Energy, Dieziani Madueke was d powerful minister for oil. The 6 of them outside d Federal Executive Council would meet and decide what and what not to be discussed at d larger FEC. Whatever they decided would eventually be d position of government. In 6 years, this was d situation. Okiro and Onovo had d police under their control. Ihejerika and later Minimah controlled d Army. These powerful Igbo's could do and undo. Nigeria was in their pockets.
Rather than care about d poor Igbo chaps scattered all over d country, they were busy diverting billions of naira into their accounts at home and abroad. D 2nd Niger Bridge, they didn't do. They shared d money. The Lagos/Calabar rail lines passing through 9 States, 3 of them in d SE, they were not bothered. They refused to pay d Chinese d Counter part fund. They shared d money. Enugu/Onitsha, Aba/PH and other roads of economic importance to their fellow Igbo's, they abandoned.
Who is to blame? Who is marginalising d Igbo's?
You had your chance, you bungled it. There was only 1 Yoruba minister worth mentioning at d time, Akinwunmi Adesina. He was in Agric. His budget was less than 1% while Emeka Wogu in Labor had over 10% for his ministry, Ayim had unlimited access to d treasury for d benefit of himself and family members. The poor Igbo guys meant nothing to him. If an Igbo becomes President tomorrow after Jonathan, will there be any difference? The Igbo man will marginalise his fellow Igbo people.

Igbos are always fighting the wrong fight and why they always lose.

YORUBA SHOULD STOP ALL THIS PRETENCE, WAT ABOUT THE YORUBAS THAT WENT ROUND LAGOS KILLING IGBOS?
U WANT THE WORLD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS ONLY HAUSA, I THINK NOT.

Provide the prove. And I will provide the prove of the unknown truth about what you Igbo did to ppl of south south and Midwest during Biafra war. As well as the Yoruba ppl you ppl bombed inside casino.

G1ms:
Great. I'm igbo but my friends are all yoruba and ready to put their lives at stake to save me compared to the other igbo nigga that I trusted and he abandoned me in the midst of touts to rob me in yaba market.

When I lost my mother,the only friend that really stood by me in that difficult time was an Igboman.

OrestesDante:
We are the best tribe in the world. 'cos we dont believe in segregation!

You can always say that Again & Again.

Now that we have accommodated and tolerated Igbos, can they reciprocate same to others

Those ungrateful people ...

I will rather come back to this world as a GOAT than to come back as an IGBO

jrusky:



Please speak English or respond in English ok.

By the way so the Igbo speaking Deltans are now Igbo right? So they are no longer referred to as second class Igbo or not even Igbo at all. If you are a true Igbo you will understand what I'm saying.

By the way since you don't care about Nigeria bro grow up and stop talking about Nigeria issues and stop poke nosing into your so called zoo nation affairs for Christ sake. My people should get live and stop smelling what they called abomination, if you don't like something a real man who is not coward don't care what happen to that thing so biko Nnwanne grow up leave Nigeria matter for those who still belief in Nigeria and talk you thrash Biafra doom nation.

We are talking coup here not civil war so its two different thing get that to your brain. Good day

He didn't abuse you : he said that look at people calling you Afonja.

During the civil war, Adekule still protected Ndi Igbo, most prisoners of war he captured were not killed rather , he integrated back to Nigeria army, a risky venture to take during the war.

xnsandrxns:

How many ibos were killed in Lagos?

You guys know no history, that's why you come here and talk trash all day

Ibos got most of their properties back in Lagos after the war than in Port Harcourt where the got nothing.

You guys lack knowledge of history

I pity your​ biafra


Just do and leave

They lack knowledge, their atrocities during war has been exposed and I have the full gist with me. The erased the hidden truth just to convince the world that they were the only one that were killed. That is why they call them victim crier.

Most people here keep shouting go back to history as if they know actual history. As if they know how these men have mortgaged their future long time ago. Whether biafra or IPOB or one Nigeria we will all still remain in this circus of tribalism nepotism and partisanship.
Perhaps until we are ready to move above all mentioned we are still moving around the same circus

God who made us made as free moral agents but we have chosen divide ourselves with the tool of tribalism, hate and greed. Let us WAKE UP FROM THIS SLUMBER

YORUBA SHOULD STOP ALL THIS PRETENCE, WAT ABOUT THE YORUBAS THAT WENT ROUND LAGOS KILLING IGBOS?

Which Yorubas went around killing Igbos? Say something else, please. Yorubas will never kill based on tribe.

OrestesDante:

No, we are not the best tribe in the world. There is no best tribe. Please we Yorubas do not talk like this.

Stop dragging urself into the gutter trying to talk like an igboman. Don't cross dt line cos ur defending urself. We should leave all d greatest, biggest, best, mostest nonsense to them. Dt foolishness is their specialty.

Nigga Sharap!, were you born then. Also was it documented Afonjas killed the Igbos. I sentence to two weeks of vacation in sambisa forest

ProWalker:


What is the add of this Sir Louis property?. The problem with you Igbos is that you sit down in the East and bandy around so much falsehood and ignorance that you now spread into NL.

Their lies already being exposed and I have challenged them many times to discredit the revelation of their hidden atrocities during the war.

This should not degenerate to tribal fights.
As far as i know,igbos appreciate the non igbos that helped to protect them or transport them back to Igboland during the counter coup and war.
Various families have relatives that were aided by non Igbos during the war.
In a developed society, the Biafrans that reside outside Biafran territory would not be targeted and attacked. It's only in a backward Nation like Nigeria that innocent civilians are killed because they asked for freedom from an imperialist union.

Dont go too extreme bro,there are lots of nice Igbo dudes out there.You dont use the sins of the unrighteous to judge the saints.

I always be careful what I post online about tribes, I try as hard as I can not to generalize my post about any tribe. There are bad eggs cowards and betrayers in everytribe. The only bravery that surfaced in the cowardly assassination of aguiyi ironsi was a Yoruba man by the name of Fajuyi.

When I first got to London, a Yoruba guy who used to be my enemy in school housed me for 3 months.

Anytime my flight touches down in New York a Yoruba friend always takes me to his house where I settle down before taking my next action.

Are there bad Yorubas ? yes, those that are mostly online too lazy to work inciting violence so that ibo can abandon their property for them. And their ibo counterpart who has no jobs and has not done anything for themselves thinking Biafra will better their life.

Got some few good Yoruba people but 80% of them are afonja tribalist fact

A COWARD SAVED YOUR DAD, NICE GESTURE THOUGH

Why didn't your brave father do the same. Son on ingrate, nsala poo eater.

sunnyeinstein:

My dad told stories of their experience during the war. He's mid-west, stay in ibadan, and their houses got searched for igbos but they, in conjunction with their yoruba neighbours, ensured that the soldiers didnt leave with one single ibo man. At a point the soldiers nearly went violent against them because they couldn't get any ibo to take along n molest/kill.
God bless all who ensured the preservation of the ibos even wen the odds were against them.
SAY NO TRIBALISM
ONLY LOVE CAN MAKE THIS NATION GROW

....God bless you, let's drop tribalist mentality already.. ..Housa, Igbo and Yoruba are all good in one area or the other,lets stop the sentiment it is killing our nation .

Thanks for the essay.

and so what??... Has any igboman not helped yorubas before?
I recently helped a yoruba guy to secure a suretee he needed to get a job and he got d job

dont know why this rubbish should make fp in the first place.
It shows how tribalistic this forum is.

That yorubas are traitors and betrayers doesnt mean u cant get some1 good in entire yorubaland..

EVEN IN TIME OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH THERE WAS LOT.

And we have done countless of that for the Igbo nation. This is the very why you are more in Yoruba land than in Igbo land. We house you and feed you.

You are a liar. All your victims cries have been exposed. Let me ask you, why did you ppl hide what you did to minorities tribes from south south and Midwest from that war history?, So you did that in order for you to get Sympathy. The truth has come out already and it is spreading fast.

mmsen:


You cannot claim to be the 'best tribe in world' based on something that many other people do.
It's only the most backwards places, like the north, where they force non-Muslims into ghettos.
It's the same thing that Europeans used to do with their Jewish population.

Thank You!

Why You Should Not Get Caught Up In Intertribal E-fights


Been on this forum for a minute and I see the inter-tribal fights never end. I think it is really retarded and I hope I can appeal to your common sense. Here are a few reasons if you care about upgrading your intelligence.
1. E-tribalists are cowards.
Faceless forums help people become anything they want to be. Some people think they can become supermen of their tribes, combing every nook and cranny of the internet, defending their tribes and attacking others. No sane person in real life goes about attacking other people 24/7 without ever caring what people think of them. Even an insane person would have to work really hard at it. We might attack others in moments of careless insensitivity that can be chalked down to temporary insanity, but no one is temporarily insane all the time.
So if you fight people of other tribes here all day but keep your mouth shut in the streets, you are just a coward. Don’t be a coward masquerading as an insane person. Cowardice is not an admirable quality.

2. Many E-tribalists are minors.
By this I mean many nairaland tribalists have not yet reached the legal age of maturity which is 18. Unfortunately, the forums membership rules does not include being an adult before you can comment on topics. So by law many of the guys fighting here are not yet fully responsible for their actions. Being able to read and write is all you need to be here, and you don’t even need to be proficient at it. Once you can string together a few social media abbreviations you are good to go.
A young person’s views on things changes very fast. Seven years from now, they probably wouldn’t believe half of the things they believe right now. That also includes the way they feel about other peoples. So before you start getting irate and loading your virtual clip at a minor, remember that.


3. You don’t want to be a weak and sentimental person
The war you are fighting is as old as man and will never be won. You are never going to silence everybody who feels some type of way about you. You can’t prove a point to everyone who thinks they are better than you just by virtue of belonging to a particular tribe.
If someone says something derogatory about your people and you dwell on it you are just going to want to get even. Instead of that, just look at it as a chance to prove to yourself that you have self-control.

4. It’s not that important
Really, it is not. All that noise you’re making, the Fagani people of the Solomon Islands don’t know about it. I had to use google to know the Fagani people exist. They don’t know about how annoying that tribe that occupies the territory not far from yours is. You don’t know about the Fagani people and their enemies either. They know that they are not the only humans on this earth though. That’s all that counts. We are all humans and we are related. In two thousand years, all Nigerian tribes may not exist anymore, but their genes will continue. That’s what’s important

That’s it for now. You can add yours.

This is really nice bro. Well said.
Thanks for saying it how it should be.. Every single Thread on Nairaland is burning up with tribal wars these days. It's rare that you will read 10 posts and not encounter bigotry from a poster. You'll think with the kinda words they utter on this forum, they'll be slapping every single person of the opposing tribe. But No, these kids come to a faceless forum to air their Jamb and sexual frustrations. And it's even alarming that some of these posters are "adults". Adults Arguing their lives away with kids who are yet to begin theirs.

Well, I for one do hope this whole tribal shenanigan will end on Nairaland.
Cheers!

A COWARD SAVED YOUR DAD, NICE GESTURE THOUGH

See loser,let me ask you a question what have you achieved in your life you since you turned 18 you non-coward?

omo yooba ni wa. the real heros of nigeria.

the past few days the real heros are starting to emerge. thanks to reno omokri igniting the candle . while the real cowards are starting to surface lololol

whatever is hidden in the dark will always be revealed <<< OKAFORS LAW

Maduawuchukwu:
Lol. I also want to thank the Yoruba family that saved my uncle in Sabon-gari in the same 1966 prgrom. Mobs and soldiers were going round killing Igbo people but his neighbours who were crying more than the Igbo hid him at the risk of death. Na why I no dey generalize. Some Yoruba good, some bad.
God bless the Igbo Nation!

there is hope for lost biabia jews.

omusiliyu:
Oluwole Soyinka and Abdulganiyy Fawehinmi went to jail because of Ndigbos. They stood against Nigeria government. They ended the war with their powerful pens and mouths. So many Yorubas risked their lives to save ndigbo from going to extinction....and today, they referred to us as cowards.

even he goats would appreciate Yoruba more than the mofhukin flat,heads.

Problem with igbo people is they always see themselves better than other tribes in Nigeria esp Hausa's and Yoruba.they think they are intelligent and better off in all. especially those that grew up in there village and found there way to Lagos there greener pasture land, some of them born and brought up in Lagos too do have that mindset and that Ego will take them No where if they can handle that Demon in them. I think they can be a little bit human in behavior.

To show the loyalty of the Yorubas, you can google search "how Adekunle Fajuyi accepted to be killed by coup plotters for the sake of protecting the life of Aguiyi Ironsi". I think every ethnic group in Nigeria has some good men (people who are not ethnically-bias but believe in humanity). We are all human regardless of our race, ethnic, cultural or religious beliefs.
