OkunrinMeta: Amnesty was by Yar'Adua. It was for oil militants. It allowed oil production to increase for more money to the federation accounts. 1 Like |

It was mainly because Jonathan was not tribalistic and did not single out the Igbos for discrimination. In Buhari's case, he has been a tribalist of the first order and he has specifically singled out the Igbos for discrimination. He has been acting like President of the North instead of President of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

seguno2: That is true but I said "Jonathan shared money through amnesty" Are you saying that is not true. Did Jonathan not share money through amnesty? |

This call for Biafra was borne out of marginalization, and the quest for equity. Gej, a wise man as he is, knew those gray areas and treated them amicably and the Southeast got fairness, appointments, recognition and so sorts. But this government failed to employ equity 3 Likes |

The major reason is because bingohari is a daft president with a sharply divisive personality. Jonathan tried to carry everyone along even at the expense of the SS. Yaradua from the same Kastina state was also a pretty sensible person and knew how to wisely engage agitators to maintain peace and unity. Bingohari came with his stupid 97%/5% talk in a suppose United Nigeria... What was he expecting?..you tell me. 3 Likes |

Adminisher:.. Make Naija no divide na.. Who that one epp? As long as Nigeria continues to remain underdeveloped with one of the poorest citizens in the world with no stable electricity, no clean water, high unemployment rate, youths who fight and die for politicians, kidnappers, Boko Haram, erosion, poor and dirty federating states, wahala up and down, lazy civil servants, under paid security officers, stealing and looting legislators, bad education system, high level of road accidents, poor medical care, etc, I will be happy If naija like make e divide...u peope think u guys are doing us.... Hahahahahahaha, a restructured nigeria is best for all the regions. It will force ur governors to stop going to Ask Rock to collect money. They would be forced to be creative and stop being lazy. So, ur so called unity pepper them gang u guys are doing, is affecting all of us. As for me, as long as naija is united and suffering, I'm fine |

OkunrinMeta: I don't think so. Buhari actually increased amnesty spending. The Federal Government has released an additional N35Billion to step-up the Amnesty Programme in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria’s Presidency announced on Saturday. https://www.businessdayonline.com/buhari-increases-niger-delta-amnesty-programme-n35b/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kazim88: My brother, if Nigeria can provide me with 24/7 electricity before end of 2018, I will join the nigeria forces and I'm sure many easterners will do same.. Guys, forget biafra, that is not ur problem, ur problem is ur governors, senators, house of Rep members, governors, local govt chairmen.. Do u know what people like u and I should be doing? We should be telling our govt that these igbos want out, no problem, let them leave. U and I should be demanding our govt do the right thing by ensuring that our leaders don't push us to hate one another. A region feels that they will do well ifc given their own country and u are hating on them.. That is madness.. I just don't understand why. U see, nigeria couldn't provide me with stable electricity for over 22 years of my life on earth and another region is promising me that if I join them, they can provide me with stable electricity, do u think I will still be trying and believing in nigeria which couldn't give me stable electricity since. I will be glad to try something new. Make una get sense small na 2 Likes |

OkunrinMeta: So as old as you are, you dont know the difference between referendum and war... Keep on promoting biafra by opening treads everywhere. Everyone knows that Biafra agitation started before jonathan...lol...i mean that guy was clueless but smart The dullard on the other hand,,, wasnt that smart...just dull. making dis united comment... if in your house your father tells you that they will give all your siblings his money, my friend wont you agitate to leave your fathers house. Abi u go dey house they watch 97% Personally i have different view on biafra, but what they are agitating is not wrong and with good reasons. MAGINALISATION. Which is clear. unless you have on top military personel you see igbo man name included. Abi igbos no b major tribe in nigeria. based on population. go to west you see igbos. go to south you see igbos go to north you see igbos go to east you see igbos and you still dont want them to follow in building the country thunder fire you 2 Likes |
