jamil!:
only when the likes of dangote and co move their investment down north I can see the possibility and ability of the north to catch up with south economically.

joskid:

That is funny logic...that was not the reason Middle Belters fought. Fewer Beroms were even in the Army then...my dad was still in school then. HE did not leave school to go fight because "James Pam" was killed. I think the real reason was that the Middle Belt was DENIED their autonomy to operate as a unique region distinct from the North early on by both the British and the core Northerners. Simply put, being lumped together and deceived by "regionalism" in the form it existed then was more of the reason why Northern minorities were co-opted then. Not because of James Pam. If the same Middle Belt minorities were somehow designated to exist under the Eastern region then, it would be highly likely that they would have fought for the same Biafra too. I am just stating the fact that the forces of regionalism were the greater motivations then than just individuals. It was a blessing in disguise when states were created to break the powers of the region....which also hurt the absolute powers the Hausa Fulanis also had. Perhaps, this is what they are now fighting for....they used to be more powerful but are now weakening in their ability to force-direct minorities at will. I EXPECT GEJ IF HE IS SMART TO FURTHER WEAKEN THE CENTRE AND GIVE MORE AUTONOMY TO THE STATES ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO STATE POLICE. Some madness can be stopped this way!

bappahman: Kamar is a bitch...wen birom ppl were killing hausas in shandam,kuru nd jos town ppl on NL supported dem cos it was hausas been killed..NL said hausas were leeches nd parasites to biroms...bt after the biroms finished or suspended the hausa fight with success nd all they turned to a new enemy...the Fulanis..the new enemy was also attacked killed nd battles stolen and killed...unfortunate for biroms they touched an enemy that is wild,unforgiving and relatively organized...so here we are ...a tribe been killed in it own territory...here we are in NL abusing fulanis cos they don't hav brothers that come online to tell us wat lead them to do wat they did..no newspapers to carry the wrong doings done to them...the so-called civilized ppl NL should pls try and investigate the origiñs of the crises and come up with the truth

namfav: i agree, drug dealing, human trafficking, 419 contributes to the nigeria name positively

GEJ again?what has he got to do with this?nigerians very soon every accident on the road in naija we will blaming GEJ .na wah oooo

caye: Lord, give us men who will lead us to fight against the power of islam. Give us a heart that knows no fear. Move us by your Spirit to repel these infidels. Shine your light, help us overcome this hour of darkness. Amen.

SmoothCrim: Nigeria need's peace NOW! How can a country in such a state call itself a regional power? The country cannot even get control over the whole state!!! South African leadership is needed to solve this issue. South Africa needs to intervene NOW NOW NOW!!

Boyoorisha:
What the hell are you saying, who is the chief security officer?

noiseless: ANY HELP TO STOP THE MONSTEROUS BOKO INFIDELS WILL DO MY DEAR.

noiseless: A massive AMEN to your prayers my dear!

nagoma:
Fallacies! Fulanis attacked Beroms first and then they retaliated. Same way they will soon retaliate thi So its Beroms that is making fulanis to attack nasarawa and destroy the Give there, and also attack walk in oyo state and satanic in lying state and several villages in Taraba state?.
Factual! Thank you.

jason123: What most people don't realise is that the problem in Nigeria then and today surpasses the silly Nigeria-Biafra fracas. Nigeria did not start in 1967 for crying out loud. You blame Gowon, why not appropriate some blame to the man who forced us to be a Nation while ditching his Southern counterparts? Why do you like playing victims when actually, it was of your own doing

Please, spare us the drama and lets tackle the issue jare! Even if its for Nigeria to split to North and South, so be it but as things stand now Niaja is not splitting anytime soon! Too many people are benefiting from the system!

jason123: These internet biafrans have hijacked another promising thread . . . oh well!

macpreneur: Corps members, better be late than NEVER!

A friend once told me this story about a man that got to the airport at 1:48pm for a 2:00pm flight. He almost missed the flight due to protocol so he created a brief BIG scene. On boarding, they were told to get off the plane after about 8 minutes without taking off and asked to wait for 4.00pm flight. The man bought popcorn and started eating and having fun with his news paper while other business men wait ranting, shouting and bursting about their schedule and the delay.

Suddenly, one of the men recognized this calm man eating popcorn had created a BIG scene a few minutes before he boarded the plane and approached him and asked him why he is not joining the others to clamour for better service by the air transport company. The man replied him and said "It is better that I am here, on ground, wishing I was up there than being up there and wishing I was on the ground".

The statement is tricky but medidate over it.

Corpers, take heed. We all value the grace of God, but if you are posted to Jos, don't mock the GRACE, go back home and wait to be reposted else where. Ignore what people say about the choices they have made; they know why ... DON't follow people's choice, follow yours.

I have friends in Jos, I do pray for them and I am praying for you right now ... for God to grant you quick understanding. GOD bless you.

lagcity: i'm very happy ibos are showing their true feelings. u see why it is safer to be friends with the devil than to befriend an ibo? pathetic ibo losers are still bitter about the war they brought on themselves. that's why they always rejoice over other ppl's death. the only tribe in the country that gets hardons when ppl die. get over it, u ppl lost the war. pathetic ibos. Fellow Nigerians, pls read well and know your enemy.

God!!! I know him very well! A nice man to d bones....his son is an acquaintance ov mine too...this is insurgency at its peak...R.I.P

onatisi:
noiseless maybe u should know smoothcrim is a ghanian and only mocking us and making jest of innocent nigerian blood being shed daily

noiseless: If you like operate from one fake ids to another picking and selecting few deluded igbo comments here while pretendind you are too blind to see comments from the likes of NAMFAV,BAPPAMAN,ARUNFULANI & CO, the truth remains that you are the ones who will sneak into your mosques on fridays to discus further attacks on none muslims, while on nairaland you come looking for any comment with the word BIAFRA in it, and when there is none you create some with your fake ids and jump in to respond your very own stup!d comment. NONSENSE! ARE GUYS NOT THE ONES CLONING EXISTING IDs JUST FOR DECEPTION?

@mbuko91,
believe or not, that man will never rest in peace and non of these criminals(rulers) will rest in peace. jonathan wants the killers to be arrested. that is a shame. many igbos have been killed in the north and jonathan did not ask the police to arrest their killers. FOOLISH even if jonathan is killed today, we will not arrest any killer KEEP DREAMING. let the killings continue as long as the senators, the govs and even the president will be killed along the line.
boko haram and every other killing agents shld continue. if u like, know the wife or the mother. let him die. let mark david die. all of them that have over-looked the killing of igbos in the north, let them die like them. YOU ARE FOOLISH
thousands are been killed and joanthan keep telling us to pray and accept boko haram as a problem we have to live with. today he is calling for the killers to be arrested, for what? what is their crime? killing a senator? that is not anything special because he is just one person.
the only solution to these killings will be the killing of these public enemies.
God i thank u today for answered prayers FOOLISH. may these killers turn their attentions to our so-called rulers that they will also feel what we are feeling. may the next time we hear this news, let it be that a senator is killed alongside his family and relatives. let more senior politicians be victims alongside their families.
let the pains of the poor nigerians be multiplied in their lives in 100 folds.
this news have made my day.
