The South West was not taking part in the civil war till Ojuku decided to invade the South West.
He was stop at Ore.
If Ojuku didn't invade the South West and MidWest
The Biafran expeditionary task force was set up to clear Fulani federal forces from Lagos but Awo chose to follow the easy path and join forces to beat your own brothers, who were already fighting the north and Britain and their useless Ijaw boy boys..........Yorubas chose the easiest path during the war, Afenifere also chose the easiest path by allowing elections in 1999 before a proper constitutional conference.........now Tinubu and his Yoruba allies have chosen the easiest once again by going for the presidency themselves instead of supporting and even influencing the election of an Igbo person....................politics of opportunism is the bane of Yoruba political elite, at the end of the day nobody moves forward,the sacrifices Ndigbo are ready to make for self-determination and progress for all Nigerians, Yorubas cannot make them and are unwilling to make them!
ObiOfOnitcha: No election by ESN and IPOB but when they see higher fire and power, they went into hiding.
The day Igbos decide to take on Nigeria, everyone go feel am and the world go know, APC and DSS sponsored thugs have failed woefully !! you people were praying for southeast to go up in flames abi, so that your wicked souls will rejoice but God has put you to shame.....wait till Mazi Nnamdi is released.....na sniper una go buy...............the final straw will be when an Igboman is elected as president in 2023...una pain never begin.
Hardly they will exchange 3 replies without name calling, accusing and attacking
you yorubas cannot take 10% of the crap Yoruba and Fulani conspire to dish out to Ndigbo to swallow everyday...............so for peace to reign Igbos should sit still and swallow rubbish, see the consequential projects being financed by our commonwealth, it's only going to the southwest and north,railways,airports,seaports, power projects, etc....... the same thing in appointments, now Yorubas want to claim Igbos' turn for the presidency, you are the treacherous ones!!! ndi uchu! you think say we no get sense?
Immediately they knew about the scam and withdrew their support, Biafra totally collapse.
Afonja you allied with the Hamitic north to fight your negro brothers, what is the result today? foreigners from the Sahel are ruling everyone including your Yoruba people.........but the fear and envy of Yorubas for Igbos will continue to be the undoing of the south.A Yoruba man will prefer a Congolese to rule Nigeria before an Igbo man, they will rather commit mass suicide than allow that to happen.
LLiKYekoba: The brave Biafran Lieutenant that was interviewed by the white journalist was from my mum's maternal home. A cousin to my mum. I never knew him but I feel proud.
Warriors!
they are the finest generation of ndigbo but we were never prepared for the war and the western powers never allowed us to prepare............. as far as the western democracies are concerned Igbo and political power must never align except at their behest!
Zetra7: Voting ended, counting starts. APC result SW 75percent SE 10percent with rough play 25 percent SS 15 percent with rough play 25 percent NC 50 percent NE 50 percent NW 65 percent
Counting down, Tinubu is declared President. The administration begins...
First the highlight of the most crucial issues - A united country - Total restructuring - Herdsmen/Banditry/ bokoharam crisis - Secessionists movement - Corruption - Absolute respect for the rule of law -Infrastructural development / Increase index in standard of living / unemployment
Now the breakdown (my opinion)
* A United country - Tinubu presidency will only play in the minds of many as a perceived injustice to the SS and SE and Christians all over the south and North. Tinubu will sue for peace but the country will remain divided as the SW conservatives will rub the winning on the face of the rest of the south while the Islamist jingoist up north will glorify on the power of Allah over the conquer of another entity called Nigeria.
N.T- Some Swesterners will cause problems , same situation when Tinubu and co fought Obasanjo administration despite been a Yourba man.
*Total restructuring - This is the big elephant in the room. Tinubu knows that if this is his only legacy, he will be reverend in the South but the question remains , will he despise the North that lead him to glory. Tinubu have already declared the North and SW as one, the north will feel betrayed and will do everything to bring down his presidency.
My take- There will not be a total restructuring, however he will push to achieve atleast 10percent of the restructuring agenda.
*Herdsmen/Banditry/Bokoharam issues- If the Almighty General Buhari did not solve this but killings has escalated to a record height then I will predict that things will even turn worse with a Tinubu presidency.
Nigeria remains a broke nation and all manner of violence is as a result of economic issues, there is no magic to this crisis and expect the North to play the ethnic and religious card.
Tinubu however will do everything in power to stop the menace of these herdsmen atleast in the South.
*Secessionist movement - Here we have 2 groups Ipob and Oodua. Tinubu's presidency automatically brings an end to Oodua agitations. Sunday Igboho will fade away but play an important role in the administration.. Nonetheless, Ipob will keep growing stronger. Ofcourse Tinubu will try to give MNK a free hand as he doesn't want the continuity of the troubles of Buhari administration but will endeavour to do something if Kanu commits a serious crime.
This free hand will make NMK very powerful as he builds up fellowship and continue to attack the core North who will have no saviour in Buhari to defend them.
* Corruption - Hmmmmmm, let's tell ourselves the truth, we are made to believe Buhari is a saint but now know it's pure rubbish.. If a whole Buhari will fall to the mud how much more Tinubu. Yes Tinubu is corrupt and corruption will be enthroned in his administration, expect MC Olumo type of politics to be the order of the day.
*Absolute respect for the rule of law - Tinubu will by far respect the rule of law except on political matters which directly threaten him. He understands that to be seen as a change maker , this will be one of his greatest legacy and will do everything to have eminently qualified men and women in the right position.
* Infrastructural devt/ standard of living/unemployment - A Tinubu administration will rely on core professionals, this will have a direct effect on development and cut down unemployment. Expect a growth in GDP as Tinubu will definitely follow the advice of the international partners (IMF and World Bank)..
N.T - There might be a rise in unemployment in the North as Tinubu will focus more on merit than Quota.
In general, a Tinubu presidency will be nothing special, not a messianic calling that many are yearning for but a 40percent win and 60 percent loss. Will be by far better than Buhari, par with Gej but falls below OBJ.
ogogoro and alomo is playing set with this one's brain!
udele1: These IPOB members are so confused. They dont understand what the word sovereignty means. Do you think Kanu will be treated the way he is treated today, if any country in the world was interested in him or his Biafran business?
When Israelis were detained in Nigeria for up to 20 days, israel would have bombed the prison to release them.
It is now a UK based fraudster that claims buhari died and was buried in saudi arabia and the world leaders a keeping it a secret.
Continue waiting for UN, America, Israel and Ambazonia
Did mandela register a freedom fighting company and asked south Africans to pay to get freedom for them?
Did Mandela's family depend on donations from freedom fighting to survive?
Did mandela threaten to kill south Africans if they disobey his sit at home order?
You registered IPOB as a radio station in UK, then you form a security outfit in Nigeria and arm them outside the law. Then you expect UK to come and defend you?
That means i can register a radio station in Nigeria, then setup a security outfit in UK and arm them outside the UK laws.
The only option available to kanu today is to join Miyati Allah.
with all your blabbing and flapping of mouth, I have never read where you proffered any solution of marginalization of ndigbo in appointments and projects, what about the impunity of Fulani herdsmen, what about the extrajudicial murder of unarmed IPOB members? the problem is that black baboons are never able to rise above your primordial interests and apportion blames where it is deserved................. Boys are not happy so cover your head while you continue with your sabo work, meanwhile, how is the brothel you are trying to set up in Abuja? I hear that is your natural calling, that is where you surpass IPOB...yes o! in ashawo industry.....alias woman trafficking! your judgment cometh!
ba7man: You mean those clowns that were recently hailing gunmen going around their region, killing their own people??
The same clowns that have encouraged insecurity in their region that their diasporans can't safely visit home anymore without security escorts?
God forbids it.
You are a perfect example of the stupid and clueless Blackman that the world mocks! so you do not know that liberty comes with loss of limb,life and luxury!
Another Lagos Igbo Otelectual with hot shiit. Efulefu
you dey mind the mumu man ,Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has outfoxed all the Igbo otellectuals, the question is Who is the political bride now? is it Nnamdi Kanu or the otelectual in chief.....Dave umahi. Nnamdi Kanu has taught the useless Igbo political elite how politics ought to be played in the zoo...........the Zoo is a jungle, you do not go to a gunfight with a penknife!
Buckeyemedia1: Leave him let him suffer in his 5ft by 5ft solitary confinement. Useless Secessionist, Empty Barrel Noise Makers.
empty barrels indeed? and why is a whole division of your army at perpetual alert in the southeast! nobody wants wahala today !!!!....so let peace reign but the days of the army killing innocent Ndigbo is gone forever.........dat one is bye-bye forever......men dey for ground now!
That bravery that eludes your type full ground for east....any how una want am ,we dey ready for you people!nonsense
Osagyefo98: Go and sort out the killings taking place in Ebonyi before looking for who to release a world known terrorist.
Mr. I know it all! go and hold Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for shirt when he comes out! I assure you you will have no hands and arms to celebrate Xmas with! you annoying louts litter the social media talking and flapping mouths like excited girls, while Fulani terrorists rode roughshod over Igbo ancestral lands.........ndi oka mma na ama! efulefu kobo kobo........just shut it abeg and stop constituting a nuisance here!
FreeStuffsNG: It's called conscience. May God give us the grace and phenomenal success to make our enemies gather in regret to eat every vile word they spoke against us unjustly.
Most, if not all, of them said far worse things in private than the IPOB terrorists leader said in the open. They knew he was not well and emotionally stable yet they enabled him especially when he started that lie that PMB is a clone.
How they put such a team together and left behind the families of the victims of IPOB terrorists and people like Engr Igbokwe, Akunyili family head, Gen. Ihejerika etc suggests that there is still no effort to console and appeal to folks who have their family members killed by IPOB terrorists or their properties burnt by IPOB terrorists like Igbokwe who the IPOB terrorists burned his house and placed a bounty to kill his family members.
President Muhammadu Buhari is a trained military person who knows that releasing the terrorist leader will kill the morale of the security agents especially those whose colleagues were beheaded by the IPOB terrorists. The judiciary will run its course.
There's a precedent in the case where late Poet Ken Saro Wiwa was indicted for inciting his own faction of Ogoni to murder the about 7 (or is it 9 ) chiefs on the accusation that they are saboteurs of the Ogoni struggle. Those chiefs they lyned to death were later discovered to be innocent Till date, peace and unity is yet to return to Ogoni.
Even the Elderstatesman, Pa Amaechi, gives no guarantee:
Chief Amaechi said twice he had interfaced with Nnamdi Kanu in the past, and the latter rescinded orders earlier given on civil disobedience.
If despite counsel by Pa Amaechi , the IPOB terrorists leader still went ahead to instigate the beheading of our patriotic security officers, civilians in the wanton destruction of lives and properties in SE, he is obviously irredeemable and the emotional appeal by the Elderstatesman is DOA.
Most importantly, The victims of IPOB terrorists deserve justice too like those innocent Ogoni chiefs.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.
t do not know what you used to brush your teeth this morning, I doubt if it's water, in fact, I am tempted to say you may have used a healthy dose of ogogoro, please do not vex people this morning with the utter drivel you just vomited! The federal government is to blame for the massive escalation of the Biafra agitation................ You never mentioned that IPOB members were gratuitously killed in hundreds by security forces, you black baboon, did the UK government shoot, Scottish independent campaigners?
you think we are stupid and do not recollect the hundreds of IPOB members that were slaughtered by the army,police and DSS, if The government likes they can hold him for another 10 years...............they will just be buying problems for themselves!
mancoconut: Don Jazzy E Money Peruzzi Cubana Chief Priest Obi Cubana Ckay etc
They all love Davido a lot, is there something I'm missing?
Davido get Igbo blood now,his paternal grandmother is a complete Igbo woman, his father and uncles were all born in Enugu and their first tongue na igbo!
imaxdocuments: Obi1kenobi whose real name and phone is (Obiorah Olisah 0803 346 3477) is well known for his mental disorder. Stop giving him attention because you have made salient points, just allow me to handle his matter.
helinues: Here we go with another set of blaming game
This is the kind of thread we always see you in, you no get mouth to comment on the threads about the people massacred by your useless APC fulani government at Lekki toll gate, na for Igbo matter una dey get mouth........troll off !
Obi1kenobi: I've visited those sites and it's filled with quacks and charlatans. I could barely finish the content I saw there because I felt anger and deep shame that we are this consumed with inferiority complex that we choose to appropriate an alien culture that has no historic relationship with us. There is zero evidence that our ancestors have ever seen the Sahara desert, talk more of having seen the Mediterranean sea and the Levant region. Zero evidence. The evidence can't be found in archaeological links or any substantive anthropological roots, or geographic ties, or DNA evidence (a very effective modern way of tracing genetic roots) or linguistic relationship or any evident history. The linguistic links is the funniest fraud of all where Igbo charlatans claiming to be scholars have tried to claim that there are commonalities between the Igbo language and Hebrew - 2 languages from entirely different language families - which anyone who knows elementary anthropology knows is like claiming that dogs are related to frogs, instead of wolves. Some charlatans have also tried to portray our pre-colonial polytheistic religion as similar to the Jewish monotheistic faith. The reality is we would not even know Jewish people exist without our colonialists and the spread of Christianity. Palestinian Arabs are the closest genetic cousins of Jews originating from old Levantine tribes, and Jews (even European Ashkenazi Jews) also share close genetic links with Bedouins, Druze, Lebanese people and other ethnicities in the Levant, yet none of these people go around claiming they are some kind of lost tribe of Israel. If you dash them Jewish identity, they'll even reject it.
The Jewish claims by Ndigbo b'anyi is driven by ignorance and low self-esteem masquerading as ethnic superiority and this perversion of the Igbo identity needs to be called out by all Igbos of good conscience and education. The purveyors of this abomination have tried renaming towns like Umuleri as Umueri driven by some silly folktale. This perversion has found itself on Wikipedia edited by and quoting some of your charlatans above as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umuleri
If you want to get authentic history, refer to peer-reviewed scholarship and not the ahistorical ravings of charlatans and fabulists. The education of our future generations depend on it. Every Igbo person has at some time heard the claim that we are Jewish descendants, but just because a fable is popular does not make it true. We're embarrassing ourselves.
The few texts cited or otherwise quoted in some of those videos are peer-reviewed and some of them are books that were written over 500 years ago, that is not to say they are 100% correct but what works do you have to counter their claims.............ad hominem attacks will not cut it! Bros, cite peer-reviewed works to rebut the claims that Negros and Bantus were not once domiciled in the region now called Palestine, Israel, and Jordan valley! .......you sound like someone that has swallowed all that he has been taught in the past hook, line, and sinker! Scholarship is dynamic...let us see what new and verified research will bring forth in the future! Maybe you know better than The Eze Nri who make the same claim and are supported by their oral traditions!
Crossroad1: It still baffles me that in all the atrocities going on in this country, from bandit to boko haram to iswap to kidnapping to gumi to malami or Malawi, no one has even for once mentioned impeaching buhari..
I do not know the kind of jazz Buhari take hold Nigerians, the order to take out the protesters came from Aso rock and these ones are asking the same Aso rock to punish Lai Lai for doing his job! all these 2 for a penny human rights organisations are part of the problems we have!
BKayy: Please I will like you to learn about something.
Read about "Hamitic Hypothesis".
It answers all the misconceptions.
The same theory they used to ENSLAVE, demean and colonise black people with the backing of the BIBLE (until discredited by fearless scientists in 1960 after proving beyond all reasonable doubt that it is false and a form of Racism/racial superiority) but somehow, majority of those that retained it after its discredit are blacks of which Ndigbo, Somalis and some Ethiopian tribes are the most notable. That is what they call Mental subjugation/slavery and inferiority complex.
Thanks
I will read it , the knowledge therein will not kill me,it will only broaden my perspective!
Ijoh: Ijaws are more than ibos in population. Why can't ibos use their false population figure and swallow Nigeria already, instead they kill fellow ibos Ijaw will totally wipe Itsekiri out of the face of the earth this time. Nigeria Army massacre Ipob and ESN boyscouts everywhere and you guys lie that it's Fulani disguising as Ugm when it is clearly seen that the massacred corpse everywhere are ibos. Why didn't Ibo use their false population figure and swallow up Nigeria already?? Ijaws are larger than ibos in population.
Honorable pipeline maigards of Nigeria! no worry you miserable lot will soon be promoted to refinery night watchmen soonest! ndi uchu........treacherous vermin!
Anyways, it might be of help to you to know that in 21st century, relationship between ethnic groups are no longer assessed by insults or claim but DNA, genetic analysis. Both of which Ndigbo and Jews don't have anything in common.
For your information, the population of Jews worldwide is estimated at 15.2m while that of Ndigbo is at least 35m. That is times two. If you people continue to roll in this childish stupidity, very soon the Jews being a very seclusive group will have to treat you all as cultural invaders and appropriators.
If you are waiting to lash on the law of return policy in Israel to emigrate there, my dear it is no possible. Jewish population is known worldwide. They know themselves and are not looking for lost sheep. Better start accepting yourself as an indigenous black man
I think the Jews have entertained the inferiority complex coming from many "Igbo" people and soon they won't. Just look at the manner the man that announced the DNA talked to Igbo people. Like those without normal senses. Well those suffering from the inferiority complex won't notice it
Bros I am cool with you any day but I do not like intellectual arrogance, in order not to derail this noble thread, I invite anyone who wants to learn more about Igbo or Negro origins to go to youtube and access the following channels
*Hebrew to negros *Teotw ministries *Dante fortson ministries
for a less biblical and more historical insight go to *fellowship of the first resurrection ministry *Yona Golab *Benayah Isreal
for a linguistics insight go to *jerusalempncloud.com
Knowledge is power and there is always a possibility of learning something on the way to searching for something. Africans must open up to alternate knowledge aside from what the Whiteman has taught us. I will not broach this topic again! thanks
You can submit your own sample to Israel, they will most likely entertain it and clarify you.
Sometimes I just imagine the kind of laugh Israelis would be having over this inferiority complex, especially after the DNA test
I invite you once again to peruse the youtube channels I gave you, watch and read to expand your mind! better to hide your ignorance and lack of depth than to open your mouth and confirm your illiteracy, at least on this topic.
vedaxcool: everybody is just treating ipob like wasted Mpuru Mmiri addicts, no regard for whatsoever. First Cownu driver, Chidoka, called them mad now they are being called attention seeking fiendish thieves!
The truth of the matter is Buhari has not used serious force on them, perhaps he views them as mentally handicapped fools!
and you! my friend, are an absolute dolt !.......... A completely thoughtless baboon! the idiot talking from Kaduna,has he cleared the bandits massacring Kaduna Christians.......or are they the sponsors of the mayhem in Kaduna? Let useless Usman come and clear IPOB in a week make we see....na yam?
ChangedMan1999: I am not a hater, but can't Akwa Ibomits buid a city by themselves.
Is this not an embarrassment for Africans to considering Chinese, Americans and Asians as Second to God.
For how long are we going to be playing second to these people.
Many of you may think that employment for Akwa Ibom people is more important, but one thing you don't know that the rest of the world will keep seeing us as Subhumans.
There was a time we read news here that a certain country in Europe doesn't score their students "F" in the University. Reason being that it is morally wrong to give the "F" score when students put their precious time in doing assignments and coming to school.
In my comment, I said that it Nigerian universities should adopt the system because the "F" score reduces the morale of students who have been attending lecturers.
One girl tackled me. She said that such system will reduce or kill the producing of quality graduates.
Now, you all should tell me if Nigeria would be depending on China to build a city if it really produces quality graduates.
Now you all should tell me if Nigeria would be borrowing money up and down if she produces quality graduates that would be advising the politicians.
You all should tell me if Nigeria will be calling the Chinese to help her build railway and tard road if she really produces quality.
Listen my point here is since the country educational system thinks that it is right to score "F" in order to produce quality graduates, now why is she depending on China after she pushed a narrative that she produces only quality students.
my brother the thing tire me, is it not on this forum in another thread? that an otherwise educated and enlightened tribe was boasting about having more of their people as economic migrants in the USA than any other ethnic group, the foolishness rooted in the minds of black people needs serious divine deliverance!
This is what you do when your language is dying and almost extinct and even unknown all over the world, unlike globally spoken and recognized Yoruba language and culture.
You have to do more than open-source to save that dying and almost extinct Igbo language.
o, shut your afonja mouth dripping with that infamous slimy gooey ewedu soup!
I find those Jewish talks by our pple so irritating. Na those talks dey make these outsiders on d other side of the Niger dey laugh us silly.
Pls igbos didn’t descend from any Jewish rubbish biko. Stop spreading such embarrassing and low self esteemed falsehood
I find your assumed intellectual arrogance not only irritating but exceedingly vexatious! That is why the typical African will rather war war than jaw jaw! the more civilized thing to do is to ask those making such claims to back up their claim with verifiable evidence! not indulging in ad hominem attacks. For those who love knowledge and take time to seek please visit the following channels on youtube.com ....teotw [/b]ministries on youtube .....[b]dante fortson ministries on youtube ......hebrew to negroes on youtube
Ijoh: Stop all your frustrations here, go and claim them physical.
Landlocked dot circle Biafra Republic.
the 3 tribes that are existential threats to ndigbo,fulani,Tiv and Ijaw..............see these 3 tribes they are complete heathens and we should watch them with clear eyes o! ijaw especially because they are so close...................its time to take off the gloves and take these dangerous people down!
Pass11: I made some calls yesterday concerning this opobo matter and it will shock you to understand what I find out,we youths and elders of south East are not trying.
you mean the toothless ohaneze dementia and old people home........what we need is soft power approach, use radio/television and film to project cultural affinities........Nollywood is completely dominated by ndigbo, we downplay its massive influence, even music is also a potent change agent............there is no country in sub Saharan that has not been touched by Igbo media power..........let Nollywood tell the jaja of opobo story, let opobo ruling house consult on the film, get young opobians to act in it and of course sprinkle the cast with powerful Igbo actors..........and get a scriptwriter to spin the storyline to our advantage,
onumadu: He made no point because the people's choice still won the election. That 10% turn out is statistically representative of the 100% of our people! His comment is unnecessary and seems bitterly aimed at stoking anger. He seems bitter that Soludo won. lol Osita Chidoka never comes off as a person who really understands how governance should happen. Last time he ran for governorship of Anambra state, he was flying a terribly draconian kite whereby if he had his way, every Anambra citizen would be branded with some ID number to ensure that they paid tax at every turn. His contemporaries are eyeing funds from outside the state (foreign investors mainly ) while Chidoka was eyeing poor Anambra citizens to brand them like cattle and tax them to death. He is the type we term "O si na amu edo ahu" in my corner of Anambra state. That is a person who does well by fleecing his own people rather than fleecing outsiders. The man should not heat up our polity biko. We are still enjoying our people's victory over sworn criminals who wanted to hijack the state once more. Chidoka should pack wella.
I have never really liked that guy! he is just one of these young igbo politicians manufactured in Abuja by fulani men.........they litter everywhere ! up igbo in the day time and at night they sneak back to their fulani men! see the way he shamelessly runs after atiku.Well IPOB has taught them a bitter political lesson.......FG now engaging directly with IPOB on the battlefield and negotiating table!
