*Honestly, you really won my best writeup of the year,I swear*
That is, if this ugly igbo-hating vultures with a tiny microscopic reasoning ability could comprehend ur naked fact,& choose not to reason with their anus and tell themselves the truth..

Ipob were peacefully agitating years back, when this uncircumcised Fulani Army decided to slaughter them in thousands & forced them all to drink contaminated mud water.

But, this zombie people were laughing at them,& displaying the pictures of Ipobs drinking mud water on this nairaland.They kept repeating it uncontrollably and unchallenged.But, Ipob kept warning them.This Afonjis fulani ass lickers & some useless envy people were laughing at Ipobs,& nobody wanted to hear their out loud cry.Now,Ipob have decided to retaliate all the evil acts of this uncultured Fulani terrorist Army& police did to them,these useless afonjis will still get mind dey vomit maggots here about ipob.

Where were your voice when they were murdered & forced to drink mud water?? Those people killed at Umuahia & Aba don't they have siblings?? Why did Buhari terrorist decided to use Army forces to kill unarmed agitators on a democratic country, instead of Buhari to engage them peacefully?? Why did you people turn blind eyes when buhari decided to support deadly Fulani herdsmen, granting them abroad full scholarships for bandits& repented Boko Haram.But out of igbo hatred,buhari chooses to kill some & permanently lockup some of the captured ipobs?? You guys are bloody fool to forming blind eyes on the innocent souls murdered by this Nigerian demonic Army & DSS.
Their blood will be in your heads.Even the so called, legallised criminals called Fulani EFCC have been busy operating like thief's breaking people's houses in the mid night,in a democratic society.But, you will not see this zombie critizing them..But tomorrow now, when the boys go rete riot and start killing them,this bondaged buhari ass-licking wolf will start talking rubbish....


You can only hear their loud voice mastibating on any news about ipob or when they hear someone criticizing ipob or ipob murdered someone..You can never hear their voices when Fulani Celemonis raped, murdered beheaded or plucking foetus from pregnant women....
But,if it is Ipob matter, these efulefu will get power over night dey yan rubbish...They will prefer to be licking Government of Fulani terrorists.ass,cos of the hatred they have for Igbo nation, forgetting that this criminals have been mining gold& selling Gold,but continue to ass ..Anyway, I only see all their daily ranting about ipob as a venom hatred towards hustling igbos cos of their constant dominating traits of igbos.However,one thing I can guarantee you all is this,no matter your daily hatred bad comments,or evil sobor ,igbo will continue to dominate them both in your backyard or in the street of human hustling.. it is a divine gift from God.Take it or leave it..
The rope &chain that is Nigerian's neck is legendary,They still prefer to be in bondage

In Everything you call Fulani, inasmuch as I know their case is worth keeping in the front burner, but let us for once talk about Igbos killing and destroying themselves. You want to use "Fulani" agenda to hold Igbos hostage, truth is that Igbo land is one place Fulani know they can only conquer in their dream and east is the least affected place in the whole Fulani madness.

It was totally wrong to kill Ipobs protesting and every Igbo, including those that do not support Ipob raised dust over it. But, it is wrong to say it was Fulani killing the Igbos in the whole fracas. If IPOB kill police, even the Igbo Police men will join in hunting down IPOB. And by the way, Inspector Nwafor of Awkuzu SARS is not a fulani man, same with all those Igbo police men harassing people in the east, one this northern Police officers can never do in their own place. Police brutality is a big menace here, not only in SE.

Again, let us own up our faults and make amends, IPOB can fight FG and get away with it, if it becomes a problem t the Igbos, ha! they will definitely run away for safety. We have always done it to those that try to hold us hostage - likes of Derico, Obidiozor etc.

gidgiddy:
There corroborating proof that Fulani have killed peoples. Governor Masari recently told you that Fulani like him are killing people in his state. Governor El Rufai told you he had to pay Fulani to stop killing people in Southern Kaduna. Governor Ortom is shouting every day about Fulani killing people in Benue.

Communities such Irigwe in Platue, Logo in Benue and Kataf in Southern Kaduna have all wailed about how Fulani are killing them

Minyetti Allah has in the past confirmed killings by its members

Eyewitnesses and survivors accounts of how they escaped Fulani attacks are on YouTube

Now tell any evidence you have that IPOB killed anybody?

Shame on you! So your trusted evidence is the Statement of the Fulani people you so much hate and never trusted. The communities you mentioned are all in the North, and I was asking you about Fulani killing in Imo State where we had recent deaths caused by your soldiers of the apocalypse. When did killing in Kataf and Irigwe about Fulani killing Igbos, or are you now the freedom fighter for the Kaduna people. So, if Fulani kills in Kataf, you retaliate by suffering your own people. Are you not sick?

gidgiddy:
Thats good because only a fool believes whatever they are told without any proof or evidence

But let me ask oo,

Do you b believe in God,

Do you believe there was a man called Jesus or Mohamed etc

Do you believe in life after death.

Those are simple test to know if you are a fool

gidgiddy:
If someone accuses you of being an armed Robber, should we believe you are an armed Robber? Or should we ask for proof before we believe?

I just ask for proof that Fulanis have ever killed any body in Imo State with statistics and we can talk about the proof of Ipob's murder in Imo with Statistics.

gidgiddy:
So if someone accuses you of being an armed robber, should we all believe it or ask for proof?

Yes, even with or without proof, an armed robber can go free, but the people who bear the loss know better. So, while you ask for your proof, the victims are counting that God will judge with or without proof. So, while you wait for proof in your coven, we have our opinion already.

gidgiddy:
And yet nobody has been able to show any proof that IPOB killed anyone, beyond online speculation. Even the number of of Igbos they claim IPOB have killed are less than 15, herdsmen kill more than that in a day in Ebonyi

IPOB has denied killing anyone, and if anyone has evidence to the contrary, let them make it public or shut their mouths.

And please, since you are good in keeping proofs, kindly list for us the people Fulainis have killed this year and also the people killed by IPOB. I am from Imo State, I would like to know the people Fulanis have ever killed in Imo State in comparison to those killed by IPOB.

You more like Nigerian politician when you ask for proof. So, where do you want the proof to be presented. I think it is very insensitive of you to think that the families that have lost their young men and women or their livelihood will be hearing you ask for useless proof while the have their dead still with them. Have some sanity, this is not a political debate, these statistics you are asking for are humans and not mere numbers. Maybe until you are hit before you feel the pain.

Brimstone77:
a simple referendum will settle everything..

So, now that there is nno legal backing for such referendum in Nigeria's constitution, it is it not better to start buildig alliances with some other parts of the Country to first fix that, instead. In your opinion, who are the most trusted Igbo allies we can work with to push for our agenda. Do you think we have that? Have you seen where we have misfired, we have used this agitation to destroy our low hanging fruits.

Just so that you know, if at all there will be any negotiation on the status of the different regions, you will not be there except you are in Government. You can rant, when that discussion will be held, it will be people like Hope Uzodinma, Rochas, the two Orjis, and the other clowns we can't even remember their names. Like it or not, what ever will be the fate of the Igbos, the people in Government will be the ones to hold the flag.

Bust unfortunately, the smartest of the Igbos are not allowed into our politics because the same youths that are IPOBs today were used to rig out our best. Ok, why is IPOB not pursuing the low hanging fruit by targeting governance in our region first. What is wrong with IPOB bringing out the political squad for National and State parliaments and use this same influence to campaign for the and protect their vote, so that they will go there and pursue the Igbo agenda. If any of them goes there and is dulling, we ca quickly recall the person as provided in the constitution. These are the easiest wins that ca give the best results with no bullet, but no, some people are already tired about life and just want who will kill them, even if the reason is stupid. It is time to be smarter in our political struggle. We should be more rational than emotional.

One thing that should worry every sane Igbo man is this, after we have created this mass of angry people that are ready to spill even their brother's blood for disagreeing with them, what if tomorrow there is no more North or SW or SS to blame or fight where will they channel this over boiled bile and thirst for violence.

Your guess is as good as mine.

gidgiddy:
I dont know if Uche Mefor said this, but if he did, its unfortunate. I truly thought he would move on and see the bigger picture.

From 2015 to 2020, IPOB was unarmed and had no report of killing anyone. In these 5 years, there were are countless pictures, videos and signed statements of how the security forces killed hundreds of unarmed IPOB protesters.

All the hypocrites who are today criticising IPOB never once opened their mouths to condemn that grave injustice. They are the hypocrites who want people to believe they care about Igbos as long as it is reported that IPOB that are doing the killing, but care nothing about Igbos if it is reported that the security forces are killing unarmed peaceful IPOB protesters

In reality, they only care about their useless "one Nigeria"

Hypocrites who think that you can get peace on top of a mountain of injustice

It is this year 2021 that IPOB suddenly became the no 1 killer of Igbos?

Crazy people everywhere

Yes,
It is this year 2021 that IPOB suddenly became the no 1 killer of Igbos. That is how it starts. The North were denying the criminality of Boko Haram in the early days thinking it was a solidity stunt or political tool, but look at them today. When Ihejirika descended on them, the called him all kinds of names, that he was out to wipe the northern youths. I am not comparing BH with IPOB, but social disorder follows same pattern when civil society look the other way or join in the destruction.

Exactly the same pattern is playing out in the east and you thing we should behave like the north? Our people say, "only the foolish sheep messes her her butter with feces thinking it is to offend her owner".

Brimstone77:
in a democratic country majority carries the vote and as it stands now the igbos that want Biafra are in majority,and we aren't going to stop the agitation of Biafra because few don't want it...


You can easily leave if you so much love and want to stay in Nigeria it's a free world..


I mentioned abduction because you were insinuating that ipob are responsible for all the criminal activities going on in the east..

And please show me where I insinuated that IPOB was responsible for all the criminal activities going on in the east. Again, listen to your conscience, it is telling you something but you are not paying attention. But just to ask, when you said " I mentioned abduction because you were insinuating that ipob are responsible for all the criminal activities going on in the east", were you insinuating that IPOB was not responsible for "ALL" the criminal activities, but "SOME".

The annoying thing is that they will ask you "when FG killed IPOB, where were you". First, I did not send anyone message to go and bring wahala for me. Some of us pick our fight in different ways, we are taking our own battle by empowering Igbos and positioning them to take advantage of the Nigerian and African space, other are there bringing war to our door step and they want my sympathy for causing bloodshed of fellow Igbos.

IPOB is more violet against Igbos that hold a different view than a Hausa man is to Igbos that hold a different political view. They have created destructive stereotypes like: Sabo, Efulefu, hausa fulani slave etc. They claim to like Igbos more than Igbos like themselves, yet I have not seen a foundation, grant, development project, scholarship, human capital development initiative championed by these people that love us so much. Like we complain about how the Northern politicians use the poor northern youths for politics and leave them in weaponized poverty, that is exactly what Ipob leadership is doing with our jobless, hopeless and angry youths. They can raise millions of dollars to buy arms but cannot champion same kind of fund raising to initiate a landmark project in the east, at least to make a statement about what we can do on our own. You will hear: when Biafra comes, we will turn the east to Japan, imagine the abrakatabra mentality. Ask any of them what invention any of them have made or what skill they have that will be switched on to turn Biafra around.

For the records, we have Igbos and we have people that call themselves Biafrans, and it is better those characters call themselves Biafrans, because there is absolutely nothing Igbo about them. We Igbos know that we own Nigeria, if anyone must leave, it will be those that came from where we don't know. We Igbos know that no matter what, we fight to keep our place safe and not destroyed. We Igbos know that we go out and make money to develop our place and not to rubbish our place. We Igbos are ogirishi tree, if you cut our trunk today, we will grow out afresh tomorrow. We Igbos cannot cry for a baby we know we are we bigger than. How can a true Igbo be crying for a Fulani man, claiming that the Fulani is holding him down, tufia! not my own Igbo.

We Igbos know the intrigues of those that are afraid of us, they wait for us in the political space , we attack them in economic sphere. Like China, we know our own kind of warfare. We know that the bone will rise again, we know that "ochu nwa okuko nwe ada, nwa okuko nwe nwenwe oso". We Igbos believe in expansionism, we are air that cannot be locked in a small space.

We Igbos have never believed in "Nnam oha", where one man thinks and decides for us, let alone becoming an emperor over us. So, let's be clear, the Igbos can speak for themselves, we did not send anyone message, and so any attempt to lord over the Igbos will meet a resistance that Igbos are known for, from pre-colonial time till date. That Igbos are merely being in solidarity mood at the moment as not to support the unlawful detention of a brother, but let it not be seen that we have surrendered our Igboness to anyone. When things bounce back, it will be hot. We hope the handshake will not cross the palm.

For those shouting Hosanna Hosanna! today, remember the case of Bakasi boys. Like Igbos will say, " it is one thing to give a monkey water with a cup, it is another thing to collect your cup back from the monkey"

Well, that your tyranny will not work. You stay one place and say majority want it. How did you come about that. Being the maddest or loudest doesn't mean being the majority. The mass majority of productive Igbos have no time for your mob action.

Brimstone77:
[s][/s] total gibberish!!


Ipob have been in existence since 2012 that's almost 10yrs now,they have both resources,number and influence to terrorize the entire south east if the want to yet m*orons like you will want us to believe that ipob will start going door to door killing igbos tomorrow what a stupid way of reasoning!

Ipob have only have issues with The evil politicians that put the east in it's present sorry state,the Fulani securities and the killer herds men killing our people...


Ipob have never killed nor kidnapped anybody before,but you b*zos will like to attribute every criminal activity in the east to ipob as if there was no criminality in the east prior to the formation of ipob or esn...


You can only fool the gullible not people with common sense..

Very typical of your kind, bitter and violent bums. Just see how your guilty conscience is giving you out, Did I mention kidnapping, but you just spilled it. Like I said, you are Ipob, I am Igbo, there is a difference. You lament about Lugard forcing all the different ethnic groups into one Country without their consent, but it is okay for you to force me to be Biafra. Just look at you and how you guys reason. There is absolutely nothing Igbo about you guys, in fact, you act more like the feudal North than Igbo.

ThickSharon123:
The ones you argued with is matured Igbo men that don't have time to argue with people like you when they know the truth through logic and observation. But you don't joke with a woman, I'm ready for you.

If you're a kid, I'm your big sister, ready to argue with you till day break.


There's no argument you've made, all you say is giberish or nonsense. I find no clue or hint to make me keep quiet.
And I know myself, I'm a humble type if you make sense with what you say, I keep shut, but nothing dear, go get the truth and stop hearing little, petty gossips.

You are really Nwanyi asaa! give it to them. See how their bubbles are busting. I am so proud of you.

Buckeyemedia1:
Have they ever taken responsibility for anything? Useless empty Barrels, no wonder that their emu parrot director has been apprehended by the Zoo Keeper, Mr Twitter Mumu , make DSS give you iPad make you fit tweet?. You must tweet, you have the right to tweet? cockatoo Parrot.

Just see how you are making efforts to defend yourself from all the outcries. Let's say that IPOB is not violent, but hear yourself abusing Igbos who are expressing their frustration. Only God knows the kind of Biafra you guys are looking for. In any case, we know how Igbos behave and we know how IPOBs behave. The sane minds can rightly judge and decide what they want.

Imagine some angry, and socially deformed characters thinking that they love me more than I love myself or they decide for me what I want. If you know what it means to be Igbo, you will understand that the fellows who have assumed new identity as IPOBs have lost every Igboness in them. Igbo man can never indulge a tyrant, Igbos are Kings and bow to no one, Igbo are liberated and have never yielded to "nna oha" personality. Whoever is pushing that toward the Igbos is a bigger enemy. We have fought our battles, we have looked our adversaries in the face and spit on their eye ball. I am rather afraid that the most dangerous enemy is the one within that is offering us a Greek gift.

The thing tire me. It makes me agree to what my friend says, that there are already about 4 potential rebel groups that will struggle for the soul of Biafra, it it is achieved. The different groups have violent tendencies, not just to non Igbos, but even to their family members who are not sharing same view and they can never agree. The term "Sabo" is used an easy justification, like during the civil war, to carelessly kill a fellow Igbo, our own.

There absolutely no difference between their leaning and that of Boko Haram.

God bless you. And to add that we find it difficult to accept criticism. But my greatest fear is that we are beginning to identity crises, like you rightly mentioned, we are Igbos and not Jews for goodness sake! What is it about the very tribalistic and selfish Jews that we find so attractive that we rubbish our own God given identity.

Finally, there is now justification to call IPOB a terrorist group, no thanks to the recent happenings in South East. Now remember, I did not say IPOB is the one doing it, but as it stands if I am looking for who ate my roasted yam, the one with oil on his mouth is the thief. But I think they need to sit down and think deep.
IPOB has come out severally to say they are not responsible for what is happening, that the ESN is in the bush. But the, what is Eastern Security Network about, if we are to go buy the narrative. How can you be in the Bush while your house is burning? If I were IPOB Leaders, I would have told the Nigeria Govt to watch how they will prove their competence and readiness to protect the SE by going after the UGM. They would have deployed their men and arrest these miscreants destroying their beloved South East. What then is the value of ESN if the serenity of Owerri is not protected, what then is the good of ESN if the peaceful flow of business in Aba is disrupted, what then is the gain if economic life of the east is killed because of curfew and fears. It is time to show how much you love the Igbo. You want to be the champion; this is the time to win the medal.
To start with, so many Igbos are beginning to ask, oh so the war being taunted will be brought to us, it will be fought in our space. How can a sensible person bring war to his own door step and not outside? It is an eye opener. The first Civil war was fought full time in the then Biafran land. The people remained on defense all through, while the other parts of the country was moving on like nothing happened. It will be terrible if people did not learn anything.

Very predictable set of people. For decades, the North has played into your “over sabi” mentality to keep you in the war of ego among each other. To ridicule the SW, they set the SE for them and the other way too. For the SS, they are easily made willing tools because they are very selfish and individualistic, with serious identity crises. They are scattered into different interest groups that are self centred, if you promise one small contract, they will claim to be Northern South-South.
When will you wake up. I know they Yorubas admire the Igbos and the Igbo have same admiration but ego will never let them appreciate each other. It is like a teenager subbing the boy she is crushing on. The fate of Nigeria depends greatly on Yoruba/Igbo collaboration, with that the Middle Belt can have formidable alliance to give the final blow to the Soldiers of the Apocalypse.
How can some brag in you face continually for decades that your fate is in their hand and all you can do is struggle to paint yourself to be a better ally to your “oppressor” by destroying your Natural ally and major back bone. Be wise once people!

Confirmed!!! You cannot cover the moon rays with palms.

Seriously, I think you guys should just stop for a moment and purge yourselves of the over-dose propaganda you have been fed. I want you guys to please note one thing (and to let you know how smart PMB is), June 12 is not a celebration of Abiola but of democracy. This most offesnsive thing to do is to associate Abiola with fight for democracy. I know many young adults today did not know much by that time and even many older poeple are not well informed about all these things because, up till in the late 90s, we had only compromised media. The information dished out were censored, very few people had access to the truths about Nigeria.

Abiola is one major beneficiary of the military rule, infact he funded coup that brought his guy IBB. He had always been the guy that didn't care one bit about your democracy until when IBB wanted to conduct election. Unfortunately, Abiola was among the very few Nigerians that had the money and network to muscle his way to get the party tickets, funded massively the media embellishment and luckily for him, he contested with a feable candidate. Many people have not asked IBB why we did not want to declare Abiola as president, even when he is closer to Abiola than many or these June 12 chantters.

Question is, who were the true fighters for Democracy. You have not mentioned Humphry Nwosu who was went against the almighty IBB to announce results. That is the man we should celebrate not Abiola that was fighting to recover his investment.Many people who had no interest in governing died fighting for democracy (not necessarily for Abiola). We should honor them and I think they are the heroes of June 12. The Chief Hero of June 12 should be Humphry Nwosu becuause he went against his boss and risked his life, not that he was fighting for power but to uphold the will of the people. He is the Hero of June 12. There is no difference between what Abiola did and what Buhari did by going to court to have his mandate. That is not fighting for democracy but fighting for his investment. And what ever trouble he had with the military was his business after all, he had always dined with them.

lilwetdick:
pls how? history have have taught us that democracy is only successful in countries where one ethnic group lives not in a multicultural society.

democracy is all about majority rule not inclusive rule

Please which history taught you that. Which country in the world is more diverse in every sense than USA. You are living in the same country with people that share almost similar history and culture, but countries like USA havr every race and culture in it and yet... please identify your problem, for your info racially homogenous conturies have never done better.

Corrinthians:
Answer was given me? What manner of idiotic and disgusting answer is that?

That stupid answer even reinforces the point that you people deserve the same hate in Tripple measure.

Nonsense.

My dear, we don't need an expert to tell that the anger in you is pointer to frustration and sense of loneliness. Abeg, make you de check. It is almost 4 years, I would like to know how the life of the Yorubas have become better than the other Southerners they abandoned. After this whole Buhari episode, that's when you will know your fate. In your mind, you have Hausa Fulani allies, when the game is over you will know if you are allies, partners or subjects.

The Igbo did not hustle for the position of VP. They did not hustle for Party Chairman, they have been very relax in their PDP because they know that anyone coming to them will come prepared. FROM time, when Igbos support candidates, they give our full support. Everybody knows that. That cannot be said of the Yorubas. Even when their son was a contesting both in the first and second term, did you people Give Obasanjo up to 80% vote? But Igbos have him more.

You will be stuck in the political wilderness, simple.

Corrinthians:
Wtf! What has that got to do with anything? Weren't we all here when Yoruba leader went to see Jonathan over the marginalisation of the South West under his government? You want me to resurrect that thread and show you what your brothers said back then?

Did Jonathan's government promote the interest of Yorubas?

Igbos were having it sooooo good with that government and wanted it retained. I have no problem with that, after all, politics is all about interest. Yorubas had it rough and needed a better deal and they went for it!

Why should they be criticized for doing so? Did they make any deal with anyone that THEY MUST VOTE A SOUNTHERN CANDIDATE in preference to a Northern candidate in an election?

Your response makes no sense at all.

You asked a question and the answer was given to you, all you could come up with was this. My dear, in 2015 the Yorobàs took a step that will continue to haunt them. One thing that the other southerners lost was just the presidency but the have gained stronger bond and are building alliance with Middle belt. You know what that means, you are told straight in the face "to help with". Even the know will continually suspect you because they will ask themselves if you can abandon a brother you cannot be trusted.

Like the person above said, enjoy while the offer last. And talking about the difference, everybody knows that Igbos do not hide their feelings, if they are with you, you know you are with a people. I can bet, every part of Nigeria will invest more in have the Igbo block solidarity than Yoruba fair weather label. Just to ask, who are your strongest allies in Nigeria. Think we'll before you answer

The poster that is doubting ancestral curse read Exodus 34vs6-7.

Why should I read exodus, am I a Jew? What made you think that Jewish mythology and oral tradition is superior to mine.

donbachi:
Their forefathers never involved their chirldren unborn.,ours did.how can someone go before an evil altar with blood of different animals,holding a bottle of aromatic schnap.and made some utterances as convenant,e.g"my children-children-children will serve you,no one will go far we'll all stay here and serve you"...years after,they all died and children followed the ways of modern world...which made the ancestral altars to be speaking against them,based on the convenant forefathers enter on their behalf...which is a legal ground on which the altars acts against the children...but,anyone that accepts Jesus Christ is saved.

I am happy the guy up there replied you. Seriously, do you think spiritism, witchcraft, animism are all African things abi. So you think the oyibos don't practise some form of mysticism or rituals similar to what Africans do. ALSO tell me the Chinese are under curse because of their dedication to their Budah. The problem is that people do not even know what their forefathers believed in beyond what the merchants of faith tell them.

FOR instance, the Igbo have monotheic religion but the oyibos in their attempt to rubbish what we had to sell us a new religion, they in their mischievous effort called it worship of gods. Talking about sacrificing animals and using hot drinks to make incantation. First, why to you want to associate the word "incantation" with negetivism. It is a form of prayer simple. Now back to use of animals and drink. Every Salah, the Muslims kill their ram, what is that. Tell me Dubai that is predominantly Muslims are backward. In Christianity, you use animals for thanks giving, what is that, so because your pastor or priest didn't kill the ram, goat or chicken in the church you think it is not an offering or sacrifice to God. And many even doing communion today with wine hahaha.

I know the oyibos planned their missionary movement to destroy the Africans sense of identity but I am worried that despite the level of education we claim to have attained, it seem we are retrogressing intellectually. I am sure they will be shocked that till now, their bondage is even stronger. You can remain in your bondage, that's your choice.

My dear, are you really Igbo? If you are an Igbo man or woman you should understand the beauty of Igbo tribe and I think you shouldn't have used the word "unfortunately". It is for your good that no single individual can be "nnam oha" rather every Igbo is a king on his own. No one can Lord over you and no one can brag of owning you or your region.

That was the exert reason why the colonial movement experienced the most difficult time in Igbo land. Unlike in the other regions, all the needed to do was capture the traditional authority and own the whole place, they came to Igbo land and found out that to capture the land you have to capture everyone. I think you should be proud of your Igboness.

It is very funny that people try to shape narratives the way it favours their interest. And very disheartening that many people blindly repeat those narratives to make it look like truth. For the records, MKO Abiola was not a champion of our democarcy. He was a man that was fighting for his political interest to the point that many innocent poor Nigerians lost their lives. We did not return to democratic rule because of Abiola, infact, he was one of the people that fueled the prolonged military rule.

Please, facts should be set straight. The fight for democracy was fought majorly by pro-democracy groups: NADECO, G34 group etc. Many people lost their lives fighting for democracy, not necessarily for Abiola's mandate. We should know that Abiola had given up while in prison, the papers carried it when he said "I want to go home", but the Afenifere, seeing that Abacha had died felt that the coast was clear, think that with more pressure he could get the mandate. He was approached to let go of June 12 and come out to contest, but his brothers adviced him to remain in prison till his mandate was given to him. Those who were old enough to remember how the country was would attest that Nigeria was at breaking point. Somehow, he was removed from the scene and that ended the wahala. And I ask, who actually killed Abiola, who compelled him to remain on the cross fire in a time that the world was desperate to have Nigeria back to a new start. If you ask me, those that advised him to remain in prison after he had been pleaded to by world leaders to come out and contest again were the people that killed him. Where are those people today, are they not the ones that ran quickly to join the new parties and contested afresh.

So, my conclusion is that
1. Abiola was not a pro-democracy advocate. He was a man that benefited from the military misrule and by the time IBB genuinely wanted to return Nigeria to democracy, he was the one with the fat bank account to buy his way into party nomination.
2. Nigeria did not return to democracy because of him, rather it was because he was no more. If he had accepted the offer to come out from prison an contest afresh like Mandela, many people would not have died unnecessarily
3. We had democracy before he contested, infact, Our democracy was truncate because of interference of people like him
4. He did not care if people died because of his ambition, all he wanted was his dream be actualized - that is selfishness.

Danzakidakura:
abokina keep shut, the north is very poor both in human and natural resources that Britain have to merged then with south for sustainability go read history why lugard merged the north to the south ,do you think northern leaders dont know about this let them agree to the restructuring na.

lee onu gi di ka abokina. Ichere na onye obula bu isi azu dika gi. Keep celebrating you over-flowing ignorance. Don't wake up from the over-doze of Kanuholic.

God bless you. I have been saying it and the "over-sabi" southerners been talking rubbish. The North remains the richest region in Nigeria, and the funny thing is that their resources are still intact, we have been using up the only major resource from the south. And as the world is going, in 20 years time, petrol/crude oil will be unattractive. Let the smart learn from history, the stone age was not phased out because there were no more stones, but because it was time for it to go, the era of coal is gone also, so will crude oil. That time, the north will then tell you to go, because every other thing you need to run an industrialized nation is in the north, from Uranium, no gold, to land to human population, to all the solid minerals you can talk about. I see these SE/SS guys that say "we want to go" as very naive.
