A tribe that blame all his problem,backwardness and underdevelopment on Awolowo,tinubu,lagos and yoruba generally is talking of phobia.The whole nnamdi kanu slaves are suffering from:

Tinubuphobia

Awolowophobia

lagosphobia

yorubaphobua

This op. clearly is a fool! Nigeria is suffering from a collection of multiple Corruption scandals under Buhari in just the space of a month and he is busy showing his hatred for the Igbos by extolling cowards that killed unarmed civilians. You just don't do that! U sud Go and hide your face in shame... Nobody kills an unarmed man and keeps boosting about it. What you do to unarmed men is to arrest them, put them in a cell and take them to court. That's honor!! You don't shoot them and you are shamelessly talking about it. Its only a sick man who feels good that unarmed civilians are killed. This op. Is sick! As a doctor, I will advise you to see a psychiatrist.

someone else is writing on scandals under buhari!

while another one is writing on how igbo people has abandoned nnamdi kanu with his biafran struggle to continue their slavery to the north started by nnamdi azikwe through Atiku.Its one after the other

COWARDS,BE PROUD OF YOUR IDENTITY

the truth is the writer of this article was trying to illustrate the roles imperialist powers such as Britain and France play in destabilizing developing nations with prospect. but it is nairalannd where people are myopic and tribalistic. the thread was derailed.

when we understand the invincible hand being played by the imperialist we would know what we are as a nation. we are victims of this anarchy but we would rather fight ourselves than say the truth

This was exactly why I posted the story for others to read,but like everything here, the tribal warriors have hijacked it.

This write up about is so filled with propaganda you would think ipob wrote it.

Lets start here from home ciuntry first before going abroad.. Fix our roads, electric, school, water etc

They cannot help it. Whether they’re well-educated or not so well-educated, rich or poor, young or old they still suffer from anti-Igbo paranoia and hatred. That’s why I laugh when some Igbos here claim that rich and well-educated Yorubas don’t possess these anti-Igbo sentiments- who do you think has been stoking all of the illiterate ones into displaying such outward signs of anti-Igbo hatred? Awo being the most prominent of them .

Just look at this quote from him:

Nigeria, on the other hand, is a country of the future with great potentials

Haha. This has been said about Nigeria for 60 years now . Are they not ashamed that they’re still having to regurgitate the same old boring rhetoric just to convince themselves that they actually have a future? Nigeria, in its current state, has no future.

first of all, it seems that by default, you guys are wired to insult any contrary opinion or any view that doesnt rhyme with the ibo narrative so its not a question of seeing reasons to insult people based on airing their views

then,

ogundamasi and co will talk because just like you guys they also have freedom of expression especially on matters that concern our collective interest, welfare or coexistence.

moreover, when the sh!t hits the fan and you guys start falling like chickens or a stack of dominoes, y'all would then cry foul like the rest of the nation dont give a damn when you alienated yourselves by insulting every tom, dick and harry in the first place.

Once upon a time Ikemba lured you guys with sweet and scintilating rhetorics and like the children of hamelin lost to the tunes of the pied piper, more than three million (3,000,000) souls perished needlessly. What did he do, he ran away on exile. As at that time the principle of
stand/die for what you believe in was probably lost to him. He came back and was given a hero's welcome only to be marooned by the same people after forming a political party. makes me wonder, you heed his call to war, but cant trust him enough to put in at the helms of affairs using democratic processes. Taka good look in the mirror and ask yourselves what exactly is the problem my dear hebrew heebo eebo ibo igbo brethren.

Enter Nnamdi
Nigga blows hot air about shutting down the country should there be any attempt to arrest him. How he wont go on exile bla bla bla. Declares sit at home. Bestrides the land like a colossus. obviously suffering from narcissism and megalomania, partly induced by the sycophants and ass lickers and piss drinkers cowering before him all. Flagrantly flounting condition after condition of his bail.
Emboldened by social media videos of the horde of mostly unemployed youths and disgruntled elements aka supporters and fake cries of aye axemen, arrow mates / SS ooo bloody cries, forms and inspects guard of honor as a field marshall would; then like a junkie high on crack attempts to stop armored personnel carriers on a routine patrol with sticks and stones.
Niggah probably got a few broken bones and either pulling a skibii--- faking his death, or indeed has pulled an ojukwu --- he who

fights

and runs away lives to boast another day.
and then some uneducated and misguided folks here on nairaland would be disturbing da peace with dim witted half truths and hate filled comments enough to make a nigga puke at their level of stupidity.
in one breath you claim to be jack the giant slayer and in another you cry as an oppressed and marginalised victim.
tomorrow you run away and come back next week and start insulting people.
it goes round and round and shows the Igbos dont know what they want.


NB:
Insults are welcome. The one with most likes get a. 40 shots of tokillher <tagbo probably drank fake tequila come to think of it

Many yoroubas dont think because they believe if Nigeria continues Lagos state will be their gain. They forgot other tribe are fast gaining ground in socalled lagos state ..with time learership in Lagos will be a matter of approval from other tribes.

It's funny how you guys think independence is given on a platter of gold despite what recently happened to Catalan and Kurdistan. Not until enough blood has been spilled just like old Yugoslavia or Sudan, that the UN can come to the aid of Biafra.

Need I remind you that your hero ran away on hearing a few shots despite all the threat of raining hell on Nigeria. The point is secession agenda is not for cowards like Ojuku and Kanu!

Coward Ojukwu indeed.

If people remind you of how your demi-god Awolowo, the bigger coward cum Afonja, took poison (committed suicide) in order to escape arrest, you'll burst into anger fits. You throw stones while living in thin glass house.

Between Ojukwu who lived to fight another day, and Awolowo who consumed a gallon of rat poison to escape arrest, who do you think is the real coward?

http://247ureports.com/how-awolowo-committed-suicide-by-abdulmumini-adeku/



The Internet never forgets

Twenty –three years after he suddenly was reported dead of natural cause and two years shy of his golden jubilee , facts are now emerging on the reasons that led to First and Second Republic political heavyweight ,Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo committing suicide

It was learned that he did it to stem the tide of a possible military court martial into an insurrection he was planning to lead alongside his political associates at the time when it became evident that then Military President ,General Ibrahim Babangida was intending staying in power forever. In a no-hold barred interview with FS Online recently,a grass root politician ,Mr Adebayo Adeyinka who lives within the College Road at Ifako-Ijaiye axis in Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria was livid with rage when he learned that a key politician connected to the issue was denying the incident.

Cowardice and Yoruba are twin malaise sired same day. Between Cowardice and Yoruba, Yoruba is more fearful, and more likely to turn tail and run, or twist their tongues to save their skin. Freaking cowards seeking to deflect attention to the valiants.

He’s just exhibiting the usual signs of anti-Igbo paranoia. It’s a powerful phenomenon that can drive one insane .

I've read about him and he was a Yoruba fine gentleman

Lmfao...if the igbos try to leave the yorubas would just kill themselves,they can't bare it..jesus...inferiority complex is a big problem.

This Biafra is not a joke o. The western world know that if they allow one Nigeria with its galore plebs, it may opposes most of its Africa policy.

It's only a slowpoke would expect an unarmed man to confront armed soldiers just to prove he's not a coward. This "foolisticated" region won't mind their business. Biafra is nearer than you thought. Fake doctor.

Thank God I know history. is not what every body write that is true. it may be possible that Britain and France may not have Nigeria interest in heart but I can tell you from these post these writer is a liar not only a liar a big fat one. At the writer when convincing people to see your view never used lie to back it up because it may be back fired.

By Bisi Olawunmi

The secessionist insurrection of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) took a dramatic turn in the week ended Saturday, September 23, 2017, during which the secessionist group was proscribed and its erstwhile boastful leader, Nnamdi Kanu, took to his heels when confronted with fired up soldiers. Reminds you of another boastful secessionist in Biafra 1 – Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu – who also went on the lam when federal troops closed in on him back in January 1970? At least, Ojukwu walked the talk of war, but this wet pants peed on only hearing the sound of guns! So much for the empty braggadocio! Also during the same week, there was an international angle to the secessionist agitation as the Federal Government decided to name two countries – Britain and France – as collaborators in IPOB’s partitioning agenda.

Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Lai Mohammed, told the nation on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 how Britain and France have been tacitly complicit with IPOB in its destabilisation of Nigeria. Britain, stated the minister, continues to tolerate Radio Biafra’s hate and incendiary broadcasts from London while France is said to be the financial clearing house of IPOB from where funds flow to the secessionist group. The minister had asserted: “Let me tell you, the financial headquarters (of IPOB) is in France, we know” and also posed a rhetorical question: “Who does not know that IPOB internal radio is located in London?” Mohammed explained how Britain had been frustrating Nigeria’s diplomatic efforts with the British authorities to shut down the pirate radio station only to be given the nebulous excuse of freedom of expression.

He had wondered: “If we have a person in Nigeria openly soliciting arms to come and fight in the UK, what would you think of it. Would you consider that freedom of expression?” The minister implied that the two countries have been engaged in semantics or what I would call diplomatic jousting. Minister Mohammed spoke of “knotty diplomatic issues which you need to skip” only to add in a double talk “I don’t want any diplomatic row.” Of course, the minister knew the charges against the two countries would spark diplomatic skirmishes, perhaps low level, for now.

Well, these are trying times in Nigeria and nationalist fervor demands that the country must be ready to ruffle some diplomatic nests in defense of the sanctity of her territorial integrity and sovereignty. There is reciprocity in diplomatic relations. We need to remember that Britain and France have played ignoble roles in the international arena in recent times under the self-serving subterfuge called ‘International Community.’ Britain followed the United States to declare war on Iraq on the lie that Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein, had ‘weapons of mass destruction’ which must be neutralised.

They ended up destroying that country and got its president hanged, as a rub in. Yet, Tony Blair, the then British Prime Minister, who stridently orchestrated Gulf War II could still face the world and declare that he had no apology for the destruction of Iraq, a country that has not known peace since. Such brazenness! Such denial of criminal culpability by a British Prime Minister who had made a past time of pillorying President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe whose main offence was winning re-elections in his country.

Apparently, Blair, with imperialist hang-over, wanted a regime change in Zimbabwe but met more than his match in President Mugabe, who once derisively called him Tony b-Liar. The old Zimbabwean war horse was right, Tony Blair lied on Iraq. So, if Britain condoned the Iraqi war, why is the Nigerian government peeved by the British High Commission’s statement condoning Radio Biafra’s hate and inciting broadcasts on the puerile doctrine of freedom of expression? The same Britain that shut down the Internet when youths went on rampage in London on the excuse that they were using it to network and mobilize others for the riot.

Talk of diplomatic duplicity or double standard. The immediate past British Prime Minister, chubby boy, David Cameron, in an expansive mood, once described Nigeria as a fantastically corrupt country, another brazenness from a country that is fantastically a receiver of stolen funds, being the financial capital of the world, both legitimate and illicit. Well, it was good riddance, as the political gambler fantastically lost the Brexit vote that saw to his exit from 10, Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s official residence.

As for France, it supported Biafra I and facilitated Emeka Ojukwu’s exile in Ivory Coast, her satellite nation, so, it should be no surprise that it is the financial clearing house for IPOB, the leading agent for Biafra II. France was indicted in the Rwanda Genocide of 1994, in which an estimated 800,000 Tutsis lost their lives, for being complicit with the then Hutu-led government. France also led the Western onslaught on Libya that saw the killing of Libyan leader, Muamar Gaddafi. In 2011, France, brazenly thwarted the will of the Ivorian people, when under the cover of ‘International Community’ mandate, it provided military support for a candidate, Alassane Quattara, in Cote D’Ivoire’s disputed presidential election conflict to capture a sitting African President, Laurent Gbagbo! Gbagbo had won the majority vote in the main election and was pronounced winner of the re-run election by the country’s Constitutional Court only for the UN Representative in Cote D’Ivoire to assume the role of electoral commission to declare Quattara as the winner!!

Sadly, Nigeria’s naïve President Goodluck Jonathan, as ECOWAS leader, had endorsed the UN envoy’s verdict, and consequent UN mandate, which accorded French military partisan involvement a dubious legitimacy. Cote D’Ivoire is France’s milking cow, a situation President Gbagbo had ended, so the empire struck back. With Quattara, who is married to a French woman, in charge, France has returned to gravy train in Cote D’Ivoire while President Gbagbo languishes in detention at The Hague facing criminal charges at the International Court of Justice.

The West sent Gbagbo to jail for a domestic conflict arising from an election dispute, but Tony Blair still struts around, a free man. Talk of the hypocrisy of the ‘International Community.

Nigeria’s political leadership should be under no illusion about any affectionate love from Britain or France, and, by extension, western countries. Britain and France are yesterday’s countries, over whose empires the sun has set, now playing a fickle third fiddle in international power relations and struggling for residual relevance in Africa. Nigeria, on the other hand, is a country of the future with great potentials which some vested interests may not want manifested being a threat to their hegemonic hold. You see, no country in Europe has Nigeria’s landmass, natural resources or population.

According to worldometers.info (2017) the combined population of Britain (66.2 million) and France (64.9 million) is 131.1 million compared to Nigeria’s 192.06 million while the combined landmass of Britain and France is 789,487sq km as against Nigeria’s 910,770sq km. Given these endowments plus high caliber human capital, the prospects of Nigeria as the great Black Hope is bright. We can now begin to understand why many countries would have dubious designs on Nigeria and would not be averse to its disintegration.

if u call Britain and france failed empire then am sorry for ur brain n nigeria. U long to failed empires n ur president seeks support frm failed empires. It shows how daft the writer is

Who has so Nigeria landmass helped


No single function of educational institutions and medical facilities, power sector is nothing positive to write about but sector of fraud and scams by Nigeria government corrupt politicians. Yet, the same Nigeria presidents are unfit to equipped their so called Nigeria's medical facilities and other sectors but always ran to the same London's hospitals and France's sectors for their survival with Nigerian taxpayers money.


Shame on all the past and present Nigeria presidents.

Black population my ass. Nonsense write up.



If Nigeria want peace and progress, let there be referendum and stop being hidden in corrupt northern constitution.

It is already happening and they have shown signs of panic.They showed it during the last elections where they told non-indigenes that a virus wiped out their voter registration data from their records, and hence no PVC (I witnessed this in Surulere). Just to prevent them from voting Jimi Agbaje. That's why Boko Haram states recorded a higher PVC collection percentage than "peaceful' Lagos state.Now, their local government councils are overflowing with uncollected PVCs. The irony is that the Lagoon their Oba touted in his hate speech has been swallowing only them ever since.

And they would be the first accusing igbos when succession is mentioned but indirectly they dont want same one Nigerians living in thier land to partake in voting process.

I have said it time without number that I like our yoruba people but something is really wrong with them, I must say. And that is poking their noses into igbo's affairs. How can a sane mind be jubilating that a national army, well equipped invaded an innocent and unarmed defenceless civilians enclave, killed, maimed and tortured them for no crimes or other offences committed other asking for referendum ? And you claim to be a "Dr" and a lover of humanity, shame on you. People like this idiot is why the great yoruba nation keep receiving insults and humiliation from every quarter.

No darling, you are/were mischievous and it is very glaring....
Why you would not post scholarly articles about the ills of the amalgamation project of 1914 is beyond me! Since you aim to correct white ills....why not start at the root of the matter!

Why did you not post something about nations creating their own paths towards real freedom and not a soul -sapping -cooking -up -of -a -place like Nigeria that the British did?

Dodgy much

Its quite unfortunate that some yorubas have decided to be useless to themselves and to others. Amidst the big problems Nigeria is facing right now the only thing this afonja remembers is biafra and nnamdi kanu, quite unfortunate and pathetic on the side of one who calls himself a lecturer. What do you teach your students? One day some of you will go mad screaming nnamdi kanu, nonsense

Surely the guy who wrote this has written fantastic rubbish...his just blowing his trumpet, or better still the trumpet of a failed nation called nigeria

he called nigeria a country of potentials, that i agree, but his point was driving at france and britain seeing our potentials and been jelous, plz what is there to be jelous about in nigeria, what has nigeria acheived that this countries havn't?..talk about development, with the way at which we are sluggishly crawling b4 nigeria gets to where france and britain are today, it may take hundreds of years...talk about technonolgy which nigeria has contributed nothing to, this two countries are among the power house. Talk about civilization, this two countries are well civilized, nigeria is no where near civilization, talk about politics and sports, they beat us in every aspect, so i wonder were this writers point is heading to, cos the only failed empire i see here is nigeria....a country who at the age of 57 is still talking about potentials, when countries who they gained indepence with in other continents are tapping there potentials...a fool at 40 is a fool for ever, nigeria has gone passed forty, and we are still where we were 20 yrs ago, other countries are moving forward with so much pace, but in the case of nigeria, 1993 nigeria is 100 fold better than 2017 nigeria, and you are here writing a meaningless article, giving excuses for your failure as a country....if nigeria were a meaningful and sensible country, would anyone be complaining or talking about marginalization or succession?...here you are talking about how britian and france are helping biafra becos they fear nigerias potentials with no solid evidence to ur claims, a country that has not been able to produce light 24/7 since 1960, you call it a country with potentials....only failures give excuses.
