Oshigun: Igbos always threatening war childishly after falling victim to their own hateful, rash, irrational, hateful, myopic and impetuous actions. Nigeria is changing . Soon no one or zone/region will be entitled to anything automatically and it is those who build bridges, forge alliances and play the game pragmatically/diplomatically who will get what they want. As obtains in other democracies worldwide.
When some of us Yorubas and even your sensible brothers warned you about your wholesale hatred and rejection of the APC by Igbos you called us Fulani slave and called your pragmatic Igbo brothers "Efulefu". Why complain now? In the new Nigeria ,after Buhari and all the old boys are gone, it will even be worse for Igbos because it will strictly be "make your bed and lay in it" as the newer Generation of Politicians won't have the patience our fathers showed for Igbos brattish and hateful behaviour. Only Igbos don't understand that hate begets hate.
Can you define Federal Character and Quota system terms. Yorubas were never left out like the Igbos when they were in opposition. At least they must be one of the service chiefs...
By the way why are you crying and begging in thei video as you have been pragmatic and diplomatic...
What diplomacy did you gain from watching this link..?
Rubbish talk. O churu onwe ya na ugbo, asikwana na ugbo erughi ya. When you foolishly and voluntarily alienated yourself from the political equation of the nation you never thought of the consequences. You even had some altercations with Obiano when he warned you about your blind and dangerous sojourn with Atiku and your lacing Ohaneze, a sociocultural group to the apron of PDP. Now you are talking about war. You, your family and your fans will wage that war and not the Igbo nation. Just bury your head in shame.
No need for explanation, just call your people on phone and tell them to attack the nearest military barracks. Then you will see that the Nigerian Army that cannot defeat Boko Haram can wipe out the Igbos in a twinkle on an eye
This bastard might even be crippled ,but here he is praying to wipe out Gods own people. May death visit your your house before the end of this month〽️ Amen

You lack the depth to understand what is going on. When they were in the main stream in PDP since 1999, sinking deep in political equation, what did they get? Its you that need to bury your big head in shame as you are gravely uninformed.
This sense of entitlement tat these lots tend to spread is just too toxic for any sensible mimd to take as logical.
When Jonathan was president of Nigeria the Yorubas did not occupy the top. six position in this country yet they never called for civil war. But people who always play their politics wrong and spread hate and superior any where they go are the ones fanning the embers of war and destruction.
No doubt Igbos are very industrious, but they have one thing missing in their trait, the ability to lead and see beyond themselves.
They have this false sense of entitlement that everything and anything starts and stops with them.
I respect them for their skill, for their knowledge, for theit industrious nature but they are gradually turning themselves into what they shouldn't be.

Were they compensated as having a position in the service chief cadre or not? So they were no completely excluded...You clumsy people should try and fair in your sordid comparison...
Afonjas crowing over the thread Wia were the pathetic things wen ty danjuma and other generals raised the same concerns Silly things Igbo wives always on their minds Cc immhotep sarrki deomelo

The positions that were seemingly taken by non igbos were vied for and won on a transparent platform.
Igbos should rather work towards a workable solution of unity and cooperation instead of this deluding,self serving and aloofness they keep clinging to.
etrouble: Bring it on Igbos. Start another war and give the Nigerian Army life specimen for shooting practice.
Over three million of you were used for pepper soup and suya and more millions of your mothers, sisters, aunties, daughters and nieces were used as sex slaves were you declared war against the Federal Republic in 1967, yet you are still shouting and threatening war, go on, do it, pick up arms and ammunition against the Federal Republic again and let's settle this once and for all.
The Fulanis will be happy to use the Biafra land for Cattle Colony and Gracing while Yorubas will use the remaining for Cocoa Farm.

Guestlander: The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), a platform of distinguished Nigerians committed to securing and protecting democracy in Nigeria, met at the weekend in Lagos "to rise and defend democracy in our dear country." Below is the statement issued at the end of the meeting attended by chieftains such as Dr. Amos Akingba, Chiefs Ayo Opadokun and Ayo Adebanjo and many others including the group's Chairman, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu:
The events in the Southeast and in particular, Abia State, which was invaded with a large contingent of the soldiers amount to an unconstitutional and gradual takeover of power by the military.
On Sunday September 10 2017, the Nigerian Armed Forces invaded Southeast Nigeria, and in particular Abia State with a large contingent of soldiers, armored tanks and other military paraphernalia. In Abia State, the soldiers' invaded communities, tortured civilian population, over-awed the constitutionally elected governor and civil institutions of the state, and declared the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist organisation, in defiance of the judgment of the Federal High Court. All of these actions are unconstitutional and represent an illegal take-over of the functions of the National Assembly, the Abia State House of Assembly and the legal authorities.
The Army High Command has announced further that the "Operation Python Dance" will be a regular event and that another similar activity named "Operation Crocodile Smile" will be carried out in the South South and Southwest.
The actions of the Military, we restate are inconsistent with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and may be the beginning, if not checked, of the unwitting or witting subversion of democracy in Nigeria.
We therefore call for an urgent action by Nigerians to see to it that we put a stop to this gradual return to military rule. All lovers of democracy in Nigeria need to stand up and raise their voices against this retrogressive political development in our country.
NADECO has long affirmed that the way to restore justice, equity and fair play to our polity is to return to True Federalism. It is rather unfortunate that some political actors are trying to confuse Nigerians regarding the true meaning of federalism. This effort to misinform, especially by some political parties, is a dangerous play and deceitful ploy.
The 1959 and the 1963 Federal and Regional constitutions of Nigeria described essentially what True Federalism is. For emphasis may we remind us what true federalism means:
- Independent federating units come together to form a federation.
- These federating units cede some of their powers and responsibilities to the central government.
- The federating units provide the resources to run the services ceded to the central government.
- The federating units maintain their autonomy to run their affairs without let or hindrance, outside those services or responsibilities they have collectively transferred to a central government.
That is true federalism in short. But the problem with Nigeria, and what is causing all the agitations and instability, is that we have an inverted federation, which the military converted Nigeria to.
Here, it is now the Central Government (Federal) that is creating the federating units, they now collect all the resources and decide what to give to the federating units; they take all the powers and cede what they like to the so-called federating units. This is the problem.
All the cry for restructuring is simply to restore the Nigeria Federation to a proper federation. Why should this offend some people to the extent that they are now using every method including military incursion to prevent it?
Attention of all is here drawn to the undeniable fact that to date, No, repeat No, political leader in/of the so-called North has done as much as the Sardauna; no political leader in/of the so-called East has done more than Michael Okpara; and no political leader in and of the West (mid-West inclusive) has done as much or more than Chief Obafemi Awolowo. If any "political leader" has, let him or her rise and say so. Why was, why is that so? It is indisputably obvious that the structure (True Federalism) they were operating was a big, indeed the major foundational and contributory factor.
It is clear to us that unless Nigerians fully understand and address what is at stake, those who benefit from the continued instability of Nigeria will continue to create confusion and delay Nigeria from achieving its manifest destiny.
NADECO, a platform constructed by distinguished Nigerians, former Nigerian Public Office Holders, leaders of ethnic nationalities, civil society organisations, labour unions, professional and business leaders, youth and women among others is disturbed by the current seeming attempts by partisan political operators and others tending to confuse the Nigerian public and particularly our young people about the clear and unambiguous meaning of federalism, which universally represents a system of government whereby there is a distribution of power particularly between a central government and the constituent units wherever it is practised as opposed to centrist/unitary government.
Nigerian Independent Constitutional Arrangement was a Federal System in 1960. Federalism as a term had been more than sufficiently and critically explained and understood by peoples of Nigerians through the strategic advocacy of NADECO, its various affiliate bodies and activists in various fora since 1994.
The word "True" came into our national narratives partly as a result of the annulment of June 12, 1993 election that was won by Basorun MKO Abiola, and whereby the sectional politicians in military uniform led by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Sani Abacha got him, MKO arrested for claiming his just mandate, detained him, humiliated him, and eventually got him killed.
[quote author=stephleena post=79355173] Those three million sex slaves are heroes.. they fought kept ur nation standstil for years. they are remembered, and will be for generations to come.

franchasng: My brother, Nairaland has really changed my perspective about Yorubas honestly.
A tribe is crying out for the injustice against them, instead of Yorubas to just keep quiet or even ignore, they are here mocking, cursing and threatening Igbos.
I have said it before and I will repeat it again and
We need a peaceful division of Nigeria or restructuring to make things work in Nigeria for the good of every tribe that makes up Nigeria but if Yorubas continue to stand against this and should this lead to war, I want to remind Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis reading that 2019 and beyond is not 1967!
Many things that worked against the Igbos in 1967 has changed. Britain was like the world power in 1967, but today Britain is struggling to stand, so expect no help from British government.
Russia gave Nigeria little help, Russia of today will never do that because Igbos now have better understanding of global diplomacy and ready to work with Russia which Ojukwu rejected in 1967 thinking he could win the war on his own.
Egypt that helped Nigerian government is also struggling to stand as a safe nation today, so no help from them.
Igbos now have more number of their sons and daughters in key government positions in European, Asian, American, etc governments and remember, Igbos are like the Jews they never forget their rooth no matter who and where they live.
I know over 50 Igbo youths currently living outside Nigeria, in some badass nations who are topnotch scientists ready to bring in their scientific prowess in making one or two dangerous weapons that may end up paralyzing the whole Africa should another war break out in Nigeria.
Ordinary ragtag Boko Haram terrorist is proving too stubborn for Nigerian army to defeat, now imagine when Igbos in Nigerian army withdraw, of course Niger Delta indigenes may not join Igbos to fight but they will never join Nigerian army to fight Igbos, u can be sure of that.
Many tribes in Middle belt don't join Hausa-Fulanis to fight Igbos like they sheepishly did in 1967, today they know better who their true enemies are.
Let's not pray for another war because if it happens, Nigeria as a whole will be reduced to ashes.
Follow Syrian and Yemeni wars and you will never call for war even if you are the most powerful nation.
War in 2019 or beyond won't be childsplay for anybody, Yorubas think the war will be fought in Igbo land alone like 1967, I laugh in Swahili, wait until the war breaks out again, then we shall see how far
I support you my brother God bless you the marginalization and the nepotism agenda of buhari and Tinubu is too much the country needs to be divided or we face the fight imagine Hausa and Yoruba taking all not even considering what the Igbo contribute to Nigeria not to talk about the crude which contribute raw more than 100 million dollars directly on cash to tsa account of buhari and Tinubu government
Can you define Federal Character and Quota system terms. Yorubas were never left out like the Igbos when they were in opposition. At least they must be one of the service chiefs...
By the way why are you crying and begging in thei video as you have been pragmatic and diplomatic...

Politics and democracy is all about interest and number and you need to fight for your interest because nobody is giving you nada for what you never worked for. Hatred, emotions and sentiments never win in democracy all over the world.
This bastard might even be crippled ,but here he is praying to wipe out Gods own people. May death visit your your house before the end of this month〽️ Amen
Come and proclaim Biafra now so that we can know you are a formidable IPOB Biafran. Do it on social media or a live broadcast right now.
Yyeske: Politics and democracy is all about interest and number and you need to fight for your interest because nobody is giving you nada for what you never worked for. Hatred, emotions and sentiments never win in democracy all over the world.
How does sneaky Federal character and Quota system...Goal post changing in the middle of a game used all over the world? You design schemes to shortchange other people in the same country...Where is that used all over the world? The problem with Nigeria is not ONLY the government, but some of its people who are bigots and sectional, because it favours them...
even during the war what could nigerian military do besides starving women and children, the worst they have done and the worst biafra did which is worse , biafran military destroyed 2nd division of the nigerian army with a single weapon , the destroyed 3rd armoured division twice and they killed a serving nigerian COAS , nigeria's only hope is britain and russia.
if both countries denounce nigeria this moment then the attack you requested can happen
lamba,...enough with the talks,start the war first..........yeye pple

Leave those kids in their shame abeg, they've lost all; Biafra, No representation in the judiciary, legislative and executive arms of government. Sifia pains is their goal and they've gotten it.
Beninempire: Nigeria hates igbos but also don't want them to go. This kind relationship is strange.
As for us in Benin kingdom, we've no fear of igbos having their own country but the Yoruba seems terrified at it
Think before u talk, how is yoruba terrified, it is dz same ibos that flood our land constituting nuisance everywhere, so how is yoruba terrified of them leaving. Get sense pls
There won't be any war. Ohaneze should just support pro-Biafra groups and take a the position to the UN, EU, AU and other institutions for legal and appropriate way to become autonomous. At start, they can become like the Catalans or at worse become like Hong Kong, where they will have authority over their land, so they can develop at their own pace. They can build roads and bridges and toll it...Now they can't do that as there are federal roads...and the wicked federal government will neither build the roads not allow you to build it and toll it. Such is the pain and desperation of the structure of One Nigeria, which has NEVER worked.
who get strength for?
