Please Since You Claimed Igbos Love Buhari And Hate Ipob,then Go To Any City In The East And Praise Buhari,after That Then Tell Them How Kanu And Ipob Are Fraudsters,the Reaction You Recieve Will Show Who The Igbos Love And Respect Btwn Buhari And Kanu..Saying Ipob Are Miscrants Only Shows How Low Your IQ is...Nigeria Giant Ni....Giant Ko!!
This is the same Yeske here, I've stopped using that moniker.

GenBuhari:
Since Abacha's death, the world have tried to pretend that Nigeria is not the regional superpower that we are.

Obama visited many far less powerful African countries and even Ghana that is virtually next door and failed to visit Nigeria.

G7 or G20 and Chinese lead global initiatives are more likely to invite Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya or SA than Nigeria.

AU shared leadership roles in 2017 and gave Nigeria no significant appointment.

Nigeria has been like a sleeping giant all these years after Abacha (who played our role as regional power in those days when he was intervening in Sierria Leone and Liberia wars ) was poisoned.

The sleeping giant stirs in his sleep and the whole world is taking notice!

Make no mistake about it, our regional superpower status is the real reason the evil white devil globalist are trying to pretend we are insignificant whilst secretly planning to break us up into smaller weaker nations by using groups like Boko Haram and IPOB.

I love what is happening right now!

well said, also
IMF taking notice, which means USA is paying attention
AU taking notice
EU in general and France in particular benefit from Nigeria open borders.
Countries that export fuel to Nigeria are impacted as we reduce smuggling of fuel out of Nigeria meaning we can reduce fuel imports.

Shame to you. I guess the Northern and Western borders are dominated by Igbos. The firewar cars are owned by Igbos. Buhari is an economic failure, but this policy of shutting down the border is a good one.

You should cover your head in shame that Nigerians were begging Ghana not to close down their businesses.


Ghana is growing at about 8% per year while Nigeria's is less than 2%. In the .ext 5 years, Ghana per capita income will either match Nigeria's or even overtake it. These were people previously washing plates here in Lagos thinking they've arrived London.

But most of the jobs in Ghana are in the informal sector. It's just the same way Thailand's 1 percent unemployment rate is that way because most employment is in the informal sector.

GenBuhari:

You nailed it.
We Igbos as entrepreneurs are the greatest beneficiaries of a united and powerful Nigeria. So the sudden agitation for Biafra is illogical and unnatural.

We Igbo have never been given a referendum to decide whether we want to Biafra or to remain.

Self appointed IPOB leader NK and his agitation is using huge funds from global powers to fund newspapers and social media campaigns to create impression we Igbos support him. The truth is that Igbos cannot care less about IPOB agitation, but their media campaign is gradually winning over some young misguided and ignorant youths using their usual mix of bigotted lies and propaganda.

There is little marginalisation of Igbos this is mainly media propaganda

I have always said that the Igbo s are the richest tribe in Nigeria. A secession will impoverish them and leave them destitute.

They'd be forced to flee to the Southeast with little or nothing. There would a deluge of refugees. There would be complete chaos. There would be millions of angry Igbo who would be seething about a non existing utopia as promised by Kanu.

In Ghana recently, Nigerians were screaming the house down over closures of their businesses. Now multiply that a 100 fold and you just begin to feel the pain the Igbo s will feel when their businesses are shut all over Nigeria.

Also, it's delusional to think the Niger Delta are going with Biafra. Kanu is simply using them as a sweetener to encourage Igbo s support is foolhardy plan.

thanks for this article.

I would suggest Ghana need a to focus heavily on the exports of manufactured goods. It is Labour intensive. Perhaps Ghana should set up 3 export processing zones and provide enough economic incentives so that massive FDI will flood it.

Awol1:


I must tell you something...

The few times I had the time to listen to Nnamdi KANU, dude's utterances were devoid of logic and right reasoning.

But even if he was logical, I think we as Igbos being entrepreneurial would enjoy a united Nigeria more than any other tribe.

The few times I hate Nigeria as Igbo, are when I see our terrible roads.

When I see some acts of marginalization against Igbos in govt parastatals and the armed forces.

And then when some northern Islamic elements starts to scheme to laud Islamic principles over us.

But these things will pass.

If we work more towards integrating ourselves into the affairs of this country rather than standing aloof, we will join in making policies that will make the things against us die a natural death.

Igbos are winners, why are we rather choosing to run away from the war of who controls the heart of Nigeria.

IPOB is part of the problem we have in Igbo land.
I ve engaged them in dialogue and they sound like broken record.
They easily get angry once you refuse to agree with them
