I wish Igbos the best in their quest for Biafra.

I only hope what I see in such future won't come to pass, and if it inevitably does, that it doesn't impact much on the rest of the country viz:

The ability to create and sustain an enabling environment, enough to contain the teeming population of igbos coming in.

The ability to maintain infrastructure that would easily collapse under the strain of population surge over a sustained period.

That the same youths won't be disappointed and frustrated in the reality as against their dream, enough to want to force themselves back to where they rejected by coming home.

That the fight of every man for himself won't leave communal duties for no one.

Igbo Governors have been having it easy so far. Most of their population don't stay at home and hence do not strain facilities. Those facilities and the mental capacity of those in charge would be put to severe test. One which I unfortunately don't see them coming out of.

Igbos need deep introspection and an evaluation of character and mind set for Biafra to work.

They also would need friendly neighbours. They need to start forming the friendship now.

you have spoken very well

biafra may backfire if adequate planing and structuring is not done

akthedream:
Very good..I prefer Niger Delta country to Biafra...Biafra na no no..SS is different from SE.No oil for you Biafrans..go look for your source of revenue..

their is Oil in Imo, coal in Enugu and igbis have a strong enterprenueral spirit which is their greatest asset

we werent thinking of your oil when we voted jonathan it was just the natural thing to do

MrBully:
We're the South South and if Nigeria divides today, we'll go with the Biafrans

the igbos gave block votes to the ss...no eze had to plead with average igbo man

we dont hate the hausa at all but we believe in fairness and justice

where is the N50 naira milo sachet??///

THIS IS STORY FOR THE gODS.

EVER HEARD OF THE PHRASE "MAKE THE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES"? DID GEJ SAID THAT IF HE COULD NOT FIX THE POWER SECTOR IN FOUR YEARS THEN HE CAN NOT DO IT IN 100 YEARS? IF GEJ CAN FIX NIGERIA IN FOUR YEARS WHY DID HE HAVE TO WASTE VALUABLE SIX YEARS?

COME ON WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER AND SENTIMENTAL ETHNICITY. NIGERIA HAS SINCE MOVE ON!!

I am not pained that GEJ lost the elections, not like he was crediting my domiciallary account while he was there......point isBuhari aint the man for the job just sit back and watch

Ethnicty will continue to be the denominator of Nigerian politics whether you want to wish it away or not

Its not a coincidence that the North and SW voted for buhari and Osinbajo....spare me the anti corruption mantra cos the backers are very corrupt fellows

Nigerians need a to be re-structered and the political space enterable by common people like you and i

jaybee:
I just can't reconcile this. The same people that were shouting "GEJ FOREVER", are now making instant demands for change in the system they fought tooth and nail to preserve. Something is just not adding up! This shows the character of many Nigerians that have held Nigeria back for decades; INSINCERITY!!! and HYPOCRISY!!!!



Were the people shouting "GEJ FOREVER; NO VACANCY IN ASSO ROCK: .....ETC" ready expecting any of change being discussed throughout Nigeria today from GEJ? Were they expecting any different results from the same government with the same tactics?

Madam my support for GEJ had nothing to do with the fact that he is the SS and am from the SE it was based on something else; not even based on his absolute average performance nut on the quality of the option being buhari

Had GEJ been given a second chance he would have done things quite different......nigerians would have reaped from the costly mistakes and concessions he made in the last four years......now we have an 'expereinced' leaving office when he is most needed

If buhari starts with the same way GEJ was forced to start being zoning and playing to the gallery then what is the aim of bringing in a new helsman

TopHand:
Dont mind them, charley boy pls rewind yourself to the days of the 1990s when u were a hustler in lagos singing all those anti corruption songs now fast forward to when u were dancing with mama piss and campagining for GEJ, I dont deny your right to vote for who u like, but dont come and start preaching about doing the right thing, stop making insencere useless demands that you failed to extract from your man GEJ, infact all of you people making stupid demands should shut ya mouths if u knew that nigeria was in problem why did you continue to shout GEJ forever, transformation forever etc, why didnt you hold GEJ accountable? is it becos he is from your area?, basically you are saying if he is from your village he can misbehave but if he is from another place he must do the right thing.
Dont worry we already know your game you want to frustrate BABA SAi you will fail, any body who wants good for this nation should pray for BABA Buhari that God should guide and inspire him to repair nigeria, Almighty God should protect him from evil doers, false friends, praise singers, and trouble makers, may Almighty God destroy his enemies and frustrate and humilate all their labours Amin

The General is not obliged to listen to Charley boy so relax

U can't do the same thing and expect different results

Ontarget:
There is no way GMB can hire his ministers without considering geopolitical zones. For instance what if GMB knows a lot of trusted northerners who are very competent and credible enough to do a good job and he makes them all ministers and only very few positions got to people from other zones? People will still cry that GMB is a tribalist. So competence and geopolitical zones are factors that will determine who makes it in the cabinet.

Unless there is a Change in how minsters are selected Buhari will fail even more woefully than his predecssessors

Who are the beneficiaries of the zoning if not the politicians themselves who don't give a hoot about you

500GP:
ALL THE IBO.... YORUBA ARE NOT A BABIES IN THE GAME OF POLITICS..

WE HAVE ONCE PROVED TO YOU OVER MIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS..

I TRUST TINUBU, HERE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE GAME LIKE OBASANJO...

i hate po;itics of this kind because the p;ight of the common man is nver facored in but let me tell you something you dont really appreciate yet

the north is in power thanks to the southwest
the north now know that they only need an ally in either SS or SE to retain power who are currently out of the power equation

THE SE AND SS ARE NOW MORE LIKE A BLOC JUST LIKE THE NE,NC AND NW

they dont really need the SW anymore because all they need is to dangle VP slot to the SE in 2019 and a promise to support a SE/NW 2023 presidency WITH A SS SENATE PRESIDENCY



BUT LIKE I SAID I RATHER WE SEE A PROGRESSIVE NIGERIA AND NOT JUST JOSTLYING FOR POWER AT THE WXPEBSE OF TRUE DEVELOPMENT

noblezone:
And two generations of Nigerians are deceived into some lies called "CHANGE"!

What a shame!

Even the so called first 8 years of the PDP was still extension of the same military.

It was IBB, Abdusalam an co who contracted OBJ and imposed him on Nigeria.

These are men who were combatants during the civil war almost 50 years ago,
They ran Nigeria after the war.

for years of Shagari, they came back with guns.

After more than 20 years of holding the people to ransom, they came with CHANGE!
Change backwards to the dark days we are trying to come out from!

Who dares to distort history?

Shame on this generation!

A very intellligent observation and judgement you just spoke my mind completely

I was listening to the radiio this morning and one analyst was just reeling out the failures of the Jonathan admistration under Ngozi's watch and my mental reaction was what u pointed out

Obasanjo imposed the duo of yaradua and jonathan, two guys who nver aspired, desired or had any plan to be president nor did they have any solution toNigeria's complex issues

After yardua , Jonathan was imposed; he did his best based on his abilty but can't compare his best with that of a man who ran. With his own steam. And become president

Going back, Obasanjo was imposed by his senoir colleagues on Nigeria, and that was why he couldn't do much and by the time he knew it, 8 years had gone and that was why he attempted a third term

Tracing back, abacha was imposed via shekan and by an evil IBB who didn't want a pure. Civillian in Abiola , who ran on his oiwn steam......
Going back to shagari the same thing, he too was imposed on Nigerians by the same military so they when he would fail, which they knew he would, and would use that as an opportunity to come back.....


Now buahris emergence is the same thing, a military man brought in by the same military colleagues

And this imposition of leaders has also happened at the state levels, governors impose their candidate on the people based on their percieved loyalty and mark it all the imposed leaders always under perform even when they fall out with their god fathers

Nigeria's transformation is a long journey and will only happen when this shabby semblance of democracy is rid of t aristocrats and gerontocrats

Buhari and his petty ideas on leadership by example

Assuming their are no security risks involved; its a waste of very precious man hours of the President of a country as huge as Nigeria with all its complex problems that the number one citizezen will wasting time in traffic.......every second of the president must count

What he should do is to cut down of the bloated, redundant civil service, on the NASS incomes and a whole lot of policies that will better the life of Nigerians

Buhari jas a mistaken idea of humilty, modesty and leadership by example

Nigerians want a better deal and not all these cheap popularity stunts

I still prefer Aunty Cathy

Plus divorce is not a good thing

Plus the new wife sef look like willy willy

Plus frank MUST be happy in this marraige or else he will be the laughing stock

Biafran Visa would have been much more expensive by now

ramdris:
Nobel prize when he has brought the country to her knees?. He lost an election n he did the needful, how does that make him a hero?. Nobel prize when over 200 Chibok girls are out there, when corruption strives with impunity?. GEJ to me still remains everything wrong with a president. We have never had it this bad. Thank God we made d right choice voting him out.

Was the country any better under IBB, abacha, OBJ

You guys just parrot what they put in your heads

For folks like you if buhari fails to deliver you will conveniently blame it on GEJs adminstration

noblezone:
Very soon I will not bother to respond to this old man rantings!

So Buhari, which of the 16 years are you talking about?
is it the one from 1983 to 1999 when you and your fellow rascals in the army like IBB and Abacha took held us to ransom?

Excuse me please.

Rascals is the correct word......

The miltary not only ruined thecountry but they ruined the pysche of the average Nigerian and they still want to run things in this country

nzeobi:
Being poor does not and can never make somebody a good president.
Ideas brings wealth and development to a nation.
Its quite unfortunate that we have a perception that every rich politician\person is corrupt or into occultism

Thanks for pointing this out

It beats me how many educated Nigerians think that because Buhari has been unable tomultiply his wealth via application of new ideas despite the fact that Nigeria subsidses his existence through "immoral" pensions as military man who cvame to power through a coup

Mark my words buhari will try all power to fight corruption but he will fail because the thieves around him will outsmart him big tine

Buhari is not a creative manager of resources what he does wekk is managing what others have created

And Buhari insists Abacha never stole

Truth is their is a huge disconnect between a real civillain president, like president GEJs and the armed forces


Did any of you count the number of times GEJ had to sack the service chiefs for non-performance? Because they weren't performing

The military chiefs weren't confortable receiving orders from a bloody civillian, whose presudency is hugely unpopular in the north

Chibok girls and the insurgency was suppossed to be the tools that the indignant north used to. Frustrate the presidency of GEJ, how many sponsors that were cut red handed

Didn't gen Azuzu state that Boko Haram was in the government

My friends brother is among those in the war fronts and said that they were often told to abandon their tanks and armoury whenever boko haram were approching in that way boko haram never lacked in weaponry

Have u guys forgotten about the soldiers who defined their commandants because of the poor professioinal decisions given them

Have you guys ever wondered why the army did much more in 6 years prior to the elections than in 6 years

There are certainly more questions than answers

The truth is any civillian president can't really contro the Nigerian military who have been used to being power; they will only obey their own

They will obey OBJ,GMB but not a bllody civillian and that was why I in proinciple had to route for GEJ not vecause I was impressed by his style of leadership but I felt his victory at the polls will stamp in civillian authority in Nigeria's presidency

That's why am happy david mark is out of the senate presidency and wish that a real civillioan gets the spot

The military must know their right ful place and respect civillians to afterall they were once civillians picked to guard our collective territory; their superioty complex is really obnoxious

As an A1 maths in O levels this mathematical equation breaks mathemetical rules

First, you don't apply the mathematical rules for working with unknowns to knowns, which is what he has done

Secondly if you do this, then I can prove that 0÷3± 8 sef

Could the low turn out of the carnival indicate that Lagosians are not happy with the LASG?

Cos I know in the calabar carnival the turnout is crazy, maybe its because is done in the yuletide season

as arsenal call its self PRIDE of London so all so Yoruba is the pride of Nigeria

Excluding the man from ogun state molesting the she goat and the fake pastor. Causght smuggling drugs at Enugu airport







O love the Ise Oluwa song composed by one of Nigeria's greats


There are countless igbo songs rendiered by whities

netizenbuzz:
In short, women are dumb? The amount of female-shaming on nairaland is so pathetic. At least all of you are hiding under the cloak of anonymity on the Internet now. But it's your type that'll be forming good boy outside. It's so sad. It's like everything wrong with this world is the women's fault. Please just change your orientation. It will help you raise your family and your sons especially right. The thought of marrying your type is

Read my post carefully and u will see I didn't bash ladies I only made an observation based on my experience

Wear a mask and u can get any lady u want

Come with your bare face and you will be treated with dung

I respect women all the same but I will never lie to a woman just to win her over even if that is the easier way


By the way what exactly is your own point becuase I can't make head or tail of it or you too wanna form woman defender? The ladies won't like ur comment cos they know what am talking about

Forwetinnah:
I saw them too...cat got their fingers, dem taya to comment

When they read Enugu airport in the title they were dancing shoki to the thread to bash Ndigbo........

I can imagine how the shoki steps froze in mid air when they saw that the pastor is from the SOPHISTICATED regioin

Before we weren't sure but now we know

Davido is way behind wizkid

They should both keep their songs clean

Millions of youths look up to then

VoteOutPDPJona:
It's unfortunate to see one Nigeria sacrified on the altar of tribalism.

My brother me I weak

I didn't want to join this train b ut I just couldn't stomach it anymore

That was how they stereotyped Igbos as loving money

As being drug barons and kidnappers and ritualists

They never admit anything good from the Easterners

Just last week rather than people to praise Innoson motors for his unprecedented efforts as a bnigerian they were busy asking if the car is made in Nigeria or assembled in Nigeria

Is it not from assembly that you can start making separate parts one by one?

Let Seun start banning tribalsitic omments that is his own contribution to building a more united

But I can see he is earning fat from the traffic
