You need a re-orientation hommie.the shit is withyu.and if i may ask yourefrm which. Tribe?

i know the last part of the post offended you but the truth hurts


**a non biafran, igbo man****

you?

Btruth:
Admission on what? That such like you cannot maintained the respect and hospitality given to you in SW without you coming out to display your foolishness?

e kpele o

i pay rent here
pay taxes here
pay land use charges here
employ south westerners here
patronize their businesses here

what else do u want me to do again....lick Tinibu's boots

babafirst:
No no no no,you gat it wrong,Yorubas did not go back to OBJ,they went to PMB ,APC.If OBJ had remained in PDP to support.GEJ then GEJ would have lost more woefully.I repeat SE and SS voted more for Obj and na una swallow the vomit.If there should be an Odua Country today and Obj or any of his family members contest they would lose meanwhile Obj is 'still' collecting chieftaincy title from the East.Let the truth be told the SE and SS rallied behind Obj at the height of his political successes.

the SE OR SS never chewed OBJ talkess of swallowing him or even vomiting him


The SE/SW is largely PDP; the West was corely AD with strong pan Yoruba sentiment

Ekwueme and co were PDP so the SE would vote PDP and anybody PDP fielded, it had nothing to do with OBJ; i personally voted for Olu Falae


But APC, headed by Tinubu, the strongest Yoruba leader today and whom a large population of yorubas follow and admire, went back to their vomit, to a man they rejected twice at the polls.................think the point is cleared

mykel231:
You've said it all.The Yorubas are really cursed to betray their friends,just like my closest Yoruba friends betrayed me during NYSC days.It's really part of their life style and they do it with happiness.

it makes them feel good about themselves...............pretenders are everywhere, but the yorubas have them in quantum

mayorchelsea:
A FOOL IS WHAT YOU ARE.WHICH TRIBE ARE YOU REFERRING TO?THE SAME THAT REJECTED HIM AT PREVIOUS POLLS BUT YOU BEASTS OF THE EAST VOTED HIM AGAINST YOUR OWN EKWUEME AND OJUKWU

you need some lessons in social media etiquette

Btruth:
.....but unfortunately for you, you can't do without them, and their region.

LOL.........i smell an admission

well Lagos used to be the nations capital and was built largely with resources from other regions............but that is not the issue at all


like i posited you are just a product of this social milleu nut hey i have met some great, open minded youngsters too.............am currently on projects with ywo of them

babafirst:
Lwkmddddddd at some of your hypocritical comments.Are you aware that Obj got more votes from the SE and SS than from the SW.Even in his village Obj lost election and there was no abobaku among the Yorubas that supported his third term bid,all the support loud or muffled came from the SE and SS especially people like GEJ.Na una dey make Obj win election,you roll the red carpet for him while the SW even stones him occasionally.Stop being hypocritical.

you are correct that OBJ losy in his ward and and that SS SE voted him. we did just the way we did MKO, whom OBJ was suppossed to maje up for when the fulanis killed MKO after abachas death


but what i don't get is why did you guys go back to OBJ, your "vomit", just before the elections?

adesina will exit PMBs government an unfulfilled man


what brazen lies........

RevDesmondJuju:
How about their front man and defacto political leader who is a total fraud, convicted drug trafficker and kleptomaniac who has ripped them a new hole?

Sometimes I wonder where the Yoruba gets the audacity to be a critic of the central govt where their region is led by immoral hedonistic criminals

Since the average yoruba man is "deceptive and crafty"....these, are for them, their means of self preservation.....they rather not be confrontational but will lie like a harmless snake to gain your trust and then gbam strike.....


Tinubu and obasanjo are the kings in this affair that is why they are sincerely glorified and extolled by the average yoruba person as great and a model of emulation

I remember aregbesola saying "Obasanjo is a blessing to the Yoruba Nation"......so many yoruba kids on Nairaland deem Tinubu as a Hero they would like to be like

adonis89:
tru bro. Dat tribe just evil and dangerous like rattle snake.

The Yorubas sdefault survival mechanism is pretense.....they act as though they are loyal, or they agree to your position while secretly plotting behind you their attack.....

I have had three back to back experiences with three "close" friends this year alone

I still live with them freely but with more awareness and still have about five as staff....i think is just their cultural way of self preservation

GEJ, first statesman to say the Truth to that treacherous snake called obasanjo, a man whose first daughter disowned and whose son accussed him of sleeping with his own wife but yet is highly respected by his tribe, says a lot about their general judgement on life

I think Bujari meant to say the price of petrol is on the rise agaain

Pavore9:
Is it a crime to know you?

It's a crime to be sooooo predictable.

And I say again

Quote me anywhere

Pavore9:
When government realize that 'shit is also a natural resource' it will do well in building and properly managing Public toilets so that the methane emissions from the sewage can power some street lights around the place at night.

When I saw the bolded.....i knew it had to be you

Quote me anywhere

Good work

Keep it coming

MizMyColi:
I was going to point this out too.
I have always maintained that there is more to this story.

Let's put the comments above on blast.
This is just an ephemeral pointer to the fact that Chibok is a scam! Which was probably why GEJ didn't act swiftly....because he knew their game. His eternal mistake was allowing their vile vituperation, emotional blackmail and worth nots continue, he underrated their desperation!

The HELL that man saw in office must have made Satan envious!

Can't you see he looks fresher these days

Isn't this a glaring political conspiracy which the APC might be involved in? Albeit clandestinely?
Who stood to gain?
Who stood to lose out?

---

And to think a former friend who doubles as an APC apologist told me he blocked me on whatsapp because I stated a dissenting view while having a friendly chat with him, ... that the chibok girls abduction is politically motivated and that in reality, no girl is missing....

Smdh.

Say it again

APC!!!!!
CHANGE!!!!!

you have spoken well

Just stumbled on this horrific video and I wonder if this is not karma on the North for bullying the south from Genocide during Biafra to holding on to power as a way of exploiting the resources of the south?



http://m.liveleak.com/view?i=115_1418995992

Very correct observation

I thought APC is about Change

I thought APC was about more efficiency but alas they are worse than the PDP because they have ex PDP in their system plus core APC twisted members

By the time hunger joins the myriad of problems maybe they will start wailing

sameer1212:
Id*iot. The way we killed and starved Your 3million Biafra ancestors Dude don't start what you can't finish!

TEARS WELLED UP MY EYES WATCHING YOUR OWN SHOOT TO DEATH OVER 100 YOUNGMEN AS THOUGH THEY WERE RODENTS AND ANOTHER WERE BEING SLAUGHTERED LIKE GOATS AND SHOVED IN A PIT....GOOGLE LIVELEAKS ON BOKO HARAM


SOMETIMES I WONDER IF ISNT KARMA CALLING

ALISMILE:
My bros am I swear by anytin u want that am also frm d SS and I share in dat mans opinion! But the only area where I don't exactly agree wit him is where he said dat d SE will neva rule Nig! That is not the best of visions!u said that GEJ wanted to restructure Nig but I tell u that it ll take somone one wit a very strong character to do that!

it will take a systematic, non violent agitation by the people to achieve that; this is where IPOB is missing it big time time, that is why am not in support though am Igbo and i believe in the freedom of self determination


even the yorubas will progress far better in a restructured Nigeria than in this current system; what the Nirth is doing is handing in sub subservient positions to any willing southern ally; tapping into their Human resources something which they have in abundance thanks to the eductional vision of Awolowo

Now Fashola and Fayemi and Kemi Adeosun will work hard to fix Nigeria of which 70 oercent is North.................

mulattoclaro:
what will I gain from lying about my region? I'm a proud Edo man though my mom isn't Edo but my dad is and I'm proud to be a true son of the Niger Delta. Some of your fellow igbos here have even tagged me as a yoruba man cos I don't support their Biafra pipe dream. Let me categorically make it clear that I don't give a damn about what you or any igbo man has to say. Igbos are very greedy. They never asked for biafra when Gej was president. They occupied the best position in government more than the S/Southerners whom their son was the president. Why are they now complaining? They're even threatening the sovereignty of the country with their uncalled call for secession. I just hope I'm alive to witness the genocide of that cursed tribe once and for all.

OK FINE

If igbos are very greedy like you say and now they want to leave Nigeria why should upset other tribes? shouldn't everyone be happy that the troublesome tribe is finally leaving Nigeria for good? instead what Biafra gets is opposition and anger from other tribes?


i can bet you that if the North says they want to leave Nigeria, the entire south will be very happy or if the south south is allowed to leave Nigeria wont you guys jump at it? but you cant because you guys arent either united or you are to cowardly to fight for your God given rights to self determination and ny friend that is appalling


mark it anywhere, once this Oil is dried up or of no value, the North who always preach "wan Nijeria" will leave


am igbo but not seccessionist

superstar1:
How I wish I could stretch my hand and give you a dirty slap for that statement.

How many ethnicities have shops in Ariara market or any of your markets, apart from y1bos?

How many ethnicities have you sold land to in your gully eroded land?

You are the worst thing to happen to Nigeria because you are the most hostile to foreigners and the worst vagabond littering other regions.

AM NOT PRO BIAFRA BUT AM IGBO

IF YOU COME WITH CASH TO BY LAND IGBOS WILL SEND TO YOU AND WE DONT HAVE OMONILE THINGS HERE

IGBOS WILL BUY SWAMPS IN LAGOS AND PAY FOR IT. ITS NOT LIKE YORUBAS GIVE DISCOUNTS TO IGBOS


IGBOS ARE, BY DNA AND CULTURE, ENTREPRENEURIAL AND THESE MOVES THEM FAR AND WIDE TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS


BUT WHAT IF FIND CONTRADICTORY IS THIS: YOU DESPISE WHAT YOU THINK IGBOS REPRESENT; YOU TELL THEM TO THEIR FACE THAT NO IGBO MAN WILL EVER RULE NIGERIA BUT WHEN THEY SAY THEY WANT OUT OF NIGERIA YOU GET ANNOYED AND UPSET!!!!!

IF YOUR TROUBLESOME NEIGHNOUR TELLS YOU HE WANTS TO PACK OUT WOULDNT YOU BE HAPPY?


WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT FROM THE IGBIS?

mulattoclaro:
No igbo man will ever rule Nigeria. They can never be trusted with power. Pa Oyegun you hit the nail on the head. Who would want to share power with people that have proven to be enemies of the state and traitors? The day an igbo rules this country he will divide Nigeria. They're not to be trusted. They'll have to wait for the next 500yrs or probably rule themselves in Biafra. Thank God the last elections showed how irrelevant their votes are. South South is in a better position of producing another president than the SE. My advice to my fellow S/Southerners is that we should allow ourselves to be dragged into politics of bitterness and hatred like those from the red soil zone.

can you swear with your destiny that you are from the south south?


seriously what difference would it make if Igbos too voted en masse fro Buhari? would it had made Buhari more effective? this are issues that you should llok at


in 2011 i routed for Buhari ahead of jonathan and campaigned vigorously for him but then, like Odumakin when GEJ set the ball rolling for re structuring Nigeria through the National conference, i had to overlook his many short comings because a re structured Nugeria would generate a faster growth.

Even after another 16 years rule of the APC, without restructuring, we really wont have gone far. for now APC is built o Buhari not any concrete reality

Oyegun and his fellow chietains with their families and friends are the ones who will experience economic change, that is how it will be


i hope for a Nigeria WHERE JUST ABOUT ANYBODY CAN BE A COUNCILLOR, GOVERNOR OR EVEN PRESIDENT BASED ON THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER AND BROADNESS OF THEIR VISION

Pavore9:
It sad that the resources Nigeria ought to use for development is being expended in chasing around the products of the North's insistence on child marriage and Almajiris! They refused to raise their children right and they have become empty minds open to extremist ideologies to feed on. If it is their income from cattle rearing and cereals is what is being used to fight boko haram, they would be the ones calling for the ban of both hijab and burga by now!

Read the post, then saw the signature and knew it was you.....qoute me anywhere

teeboila:
This is going to lead to balance of trade. I believe it's possible to produce this small generators in Nigeria but first the local producers must be sure that importing such products is banned so as not to lead to low demand of their products because we know Nigerians they like imported goods to locally made products.

Before GEJ wanted to vaan car imports he had car plants already working andd was waiting for a supply that can cater for the gap the ban would bring and he was called clueless


Someone bans out rightly without any alternatives of local manufacturers...do you know how many busieess run on this little generators

MKO4ever:
This is a N150 billion libel suit we are talking about here. Nothing like out of court settlement, DAAR communications must pay.

Your very correct. Tinubu is a very selfless leader and DAAR want to spoil his good name

feeloscar:
Who signed the contract, is it not your hero? It's him you should blame not PMB,OK.

Hope u have read the stories as it developed

knowing APC and Buhari for who they are and their antecedence:they will have suspended the contract if it was signed by the previous adminstration like they have done in the petroleum sector recently and even with the roves stuff

But Lie Mohammed to be on the defensive of REMITTA a one begins to wonder when APC began to defend and uphold contracts signed by GEJ

A trained eye will see that their is something fishy and some serious dirty deals going on


but did you notice how inconsistent your argument has become? from citing Mastercard and paypal as defence to saying it was signed by GEJ.....


Conscience is an open wound, only Truth can heal it

egift:
Have you done any epayment before? Paypal, Mastercard, Interswitch, voguepay, payza, etc - If yes, what was the charge per transaction?

Fayose and the PDP are dabbling into matters they are ignorant of and twisting it for political grandstanding.

It's not compulsory to defend everything about Buhari's government

For very high transactions like those of an entire country like Nigeria, One percent is way too much and like we all know no politician will strike a deal with a private company that makes them earn a whooping N10B for a every N1trillion

ruggedboy01:
I saw this coming..... but my igbo brothers no de hear word. After their bitter experience with biafran civil war, was not expecting any reasonable igbo man to carry their business out of igboland!!! If biafra come get head now, what will happen to their investments and properties Another wasted wealth to the lazy abok!s and ndi ofe nmanus

Everyone, including igbophobes agree that igbos have investment across Nigeria.....


Well Biafra agitation maybe crude and misplaced and poor or even ill conceived but underneath this agitation lies a cry for fairness and freedom


Truth be told the entire south is now at the mercy of the North

the south must play second fiddle to them; must look for their nod to get to power, must lick their boots to remain in power....despite most of the resources are down south but human and mineral

Rexology:
You did not write that Igbo language well. You wanted to say 'I n'agwa m Ihe I n'amaghi' this is central Igbo language. As long as you cannot write central igbo language, you are a lesser Igbo person.

Ti admit my written Igbo is a struggle although I speaj it effortlessly for a Lagos born imolit

As per central Igbo, an Anambra man will be cut dead saying "I knangh" he would I no malo"

ALISMILE:
yes! In 1958 my pple were members of parliament that gave birth to Nigeria's independence!

Were they also in parliament in 1914 when the north and south amalgamated

ALISMILE:
SOME days ago, I woke up to find that someone,
or group had decided to change my country. It
was there on Facebook; a supposed map of a
new country called Biafra. I was neither
consulted nor my opinion sought. I am not also
aware that the Ijaws, who are my parents, our
neigbours the Isokos, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Efiks,
Ibibios, Orons etcetera, were consulted. Some
fellow Nigerians in demonstrating their right to
self-determination, decided that I do not have
the right to be consulted.
If I were to reincarnate and have power of
choice, I would ordinarily, not decide to be a
Nigerian. I would prefer to be an African, in that
united continent Kwame Nkrumah prophesied,
with a single government, currency, economy
and citizenship. I will not trade a continent for
another small enclave, while industrialised
Europe has almost evolved into one entity. That
will not be strategic thinking, it will be collective
backwardness.

I understand why the agitators need the
Southern nationalities; they require their oil and
gas resources, and access to the sea. But they
are being quixotic by forcing these peoples into
a map. They need to consult and persuade. But
this will be difficult as the advocates of a new
Biafra have not made public any known
philosophy, ideology, vision, road map, socio-
economic programme or policy, including on
peoples and minority rights.
I have read some juvenile Boko Haram
Shekarau-like outbursts by the new kid on the
bloc, Nnamdi Kalu of the Indigenous Peoples of
Biafra (IPOB) who vomits words like “If they
don’t give us Biafra, no human being will remain
alone in Nigeria by that time; we shall turn
everybody into corpses; you better go and buy
your coffin.” He reminds me of the quixotic
‘uprising’ by the Biafra Zionist Federation led by
Benjamin Igwe Onwuka who on June 5, 2014
tried to seize the Enugu State Broadcasting
Service (ESBS) ostensibly to declare a Biafra
Republic.
Apart from these, I have seen photographs of
people in camouflage doing drills in alleged
preparation for war to actualise Biafra. I am not
sure they know what they are doing. I was six
when the civil war broke out. Until this day, I still
recall the faces of my play mates like Ngozi Eze,
who left for the East and never came back when
their families returned. You imagine the trauma
the rest of their families went through. I also,
still recall the faces of my uncles; Anusi, and
Wisdom Fakrogha, who went to that war, and
never returned. It is not just about the massive
destruction, starvation and early graves. It
included injuries that never healed, scars that
people carry in their hearts. Like John Pepper
Clarke wrote, in his poem, The Casualties. “The
casualties are not only those who are dead… The
casualties are not only those who started A fire
and now cannot put out. Thousands are burning
that have no say in the matter…We are all
casualties”
I read about people on both sides, glorifying the
civil war. Yes, it was a glorious war; but not for
the two million who lost their lives. It was a
heroic war; but not for the children taken to
Gabon who never returned. War can be
glamorous, but not for the dead. Not for those
who become invalid, the widowed and the
orphaned. For the true victims, the pain never
really go away.
For Kalu and his group who argue that the Igbos
are a conquered people in bondage, needing to
be free, I say the conquered are not necessarily
those who are said to have lost the civil war forty
five years ago, but those on either side who lost
their lives, income, property and loved ones. The
victors are not necessarily those who sing victory
songs; but those who smile to the banks having
made fortunes selling arms and rice, boots and
aircraft, bombs and relief materials to all sides in
the conflict.
When during the 1962 Missile Crisis over Cuba,
and American President, John .F. Kennedy was
toying with the idea of going to war, then Soviet
Union leader, Nikita Khrushchev wrote him,
warning “I have participated in two world wars
and know that war ends only when it has rolled
through cities and villages, everywhere sowing
death and destruction. For such is the logic of
war. If people do not display wisdom, they will
clash like blind moles and then, mutual
annihilation will commence.”
But if we want to persuade our angry
compatriots to remain, we must understand why
they want out. I turn to Kalu to understand him.
First he claims that the operation of the Federal
Character provision and development, is
lopsided. In other words, Igbos are
marginalised. But interestingly, most or all
nationalities in the country feel the same way.
He says Igbos are killed in parts of the country.
Ironically, the ‘killing fields’ today are in the
North East, and Middle Belt where all Nigerians
are victims. He argues that Nigeria is an artificial
creation. I agree fully with him; but which
country is not? Even the Biafra, his group wants
to create will also be an artificial one. He
laments that while the soldiers on the Federal
side were paid, those who fought for Biafra were
not. Whatever the arguments; this appears more
an administrative issue, and less a reason for
secession.
He pointed at corruption, mass unemployment
and injustice in what he calls the “Zoological
Republic of Nigeria” Doubtlessly, there is
injustice; to the poor and powerless; the
voiceless and the vulnerable. But the solution
cannot be the balkanization of the country;
rather, it is to fight these ills.
Even if I am left out of Biafra as I desire, I don’t
want a passport to go drink from the knowledge
of Arthur Nwankwo in Enugu, visit Maxim Uzotu,
‘the god of poetry’ or share a drink with Anaele
Ihuoma in Owerri.
We cannot deny those who clamour for a new
country, but the rest of us have the duty and
right to propagate our desire for a united
Nigeria, and an integrated Africa.

Where you consulted when they forced you into Nigeria....your first premise for rejection is flawed
