This is one ugly, ridiculous and aimless project, more like an ego project than a serious, functional, and practical project.

Even Gnaduje's 3 level interchange in Kano looks better, more functional and even better aesthetics and eye please than this odious monstrosity.

I can't believe they wasted N35 Billion on this overpriced rubbish.

well spoken like a senseless and envy filled Nigeria from that part of the country we know so well !!

FrLukas:
I understand your obsession with everything Yoruba.


It's just like the black man's obsession with everything American.


The tendency to always try to piggyback on your betters is overwhelming in your case.


If ever the Ooni mentioned something like this, then here is who he was referring to:



The Ugbo people that now currently inhabit a part of Ondo state close to the riverine area.


They were a part of Ile-Ife and their father was the chief consort for Oduduwa, Oranfe the man who brought out fire from his mouth.

Till today, his house is called Oranfe, onile ina (House of Fire)


The first born of that chief consort behaved badly and sought to inherit his father while he was still alive but on a journey with Oduduwa. The son had thought his father would die on the journey but his father came back and banished him forever.


He left Side and began to inhabit the surrounding forest close to Ife. That's why they are called Ugbo or Igbo people. Note that Igbo in Yoruba means bush or forest. So in other words, they were the bush people.


The man became their first king, i.e the Olugbo of Igbo/Ugbo kingdom which kingdom still exists somewhere in Ondo state today.


It was these same Ugbo/Igbo people who used to carry out raids on Ife people, whom Queen Moremi defeated and wrote her name in gold forever.


Sorry to disappoint you expansionist land grabbers and land thieves, the Igbo or Ugbo mentioned in connection with Ife is not the Biafrans of today.

Go and tell the ooni and your esteemed Yoruba historians , apparently, you know far more than they do!

this is the problem how come the last rep election in Abia pdp got 10000 vote apc 3000 votes....did funali manipulate it too

willy nilly, you just confirmed my assertion! we nigerians should do away with obscurantist arguments like your last post. nigeria must restructure in another io survive .........if we do not get the boldness to do so then we should prepare for one all mighty civil conflict.

sarrki:
Major reason I backed out

The insecurity is too much

I am not like those children of hate that hates without reason

There region still remains the worse yet they never see anything wrong in it

It is either you do not know what the grouse of Ndigbo is or you a very wicked person !........ the north arrogates to herself all sensitive and consequential posts in a country we all pretend is for all, the north still turns the east into occupied territory, everywhere you go is one checkpoint or roadblock mounted by police,army, customs,ndlea,effcc,sars....etc every one of this security agency in the east is headed by one ahmed or Ibrahim...............the straw that has finally broken the back of the camel is the trojan horse called Fulani herdsmen...that are cutting a swathe of destruction and savagery through Igboland.

oga, the North has really overplayed its hands this time around, the north will have to renew its lease of occupation in the east, you have to explain to the strong and virile Igbo population in Igboland why Fulani and northern youth deserve to Lord it over them.........you have to prove to them in the battlefield and war front why this present northern youth should walk around the east like emperors making life a misery for our people.

After this renewed hostility the Northern youth will find sufficient reasons to leave Igboland and go face their affairs in the north, enough is enough!

Rossikki:
International publicity of 'Biafra' means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

It is even an indicator of worse to come for the South East, in terms of insecurity, if care is not taken.

This was exactly the same way 'Biafra' was publicised in the western media in the 1960s.

Ojukwu was the toast of the world media, giving interviews to major western news networks.

Prominent Igbos like Chinua Achebe went abroad to play influencer roles as per Biafra.

In the end, what happened?

Biafra was crushed.

There is nothing to suggest that the support the world gave for One Nigeria against Biafra back then, will be any different this time.

Until you people understand that the world does not want NIGERIA to be dismantled, you will keep wasting your time in conflict.

The entire black world, including America's powerful Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People), ALL lobby the US govt to ensure the stability of Nigeria, which is regarded by the global black intelligentsia as Africa's ONLY hope for a future superpower.

They, as well as international investors, are well aware that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050, making it a veritable world power and world investment and industrialisation magnet.

Major international companies are already doing multimillion dollar research on how to thrive in the Nigerian market in coming decades.

Indigenous businesses here in Nigeria do NOT want a breakup of Nigeria. Because they KNOW that that will cut their market.

Today they have free access to a market of 210 million people, which a splintering of Nigeria will reduce to 30 to 40 million.

So why will they support breakup?

So the stakes are too high, locally and internationally.

Money makes the world go round.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

Nigeria is going nowhere, and there will be no Biafra, unless by some sort of Divine Intervention.

The west did not want communist vietnam to survive, wetin come happen at last! truth is you have bought into the false narrative that igbos love money and life too much, our belief in Biafra is rooted in our faith In The Most High, My Brother Biafra has come !

oilyngbati:
These ipooos terrorists are the most brainless clowns you can ever imagine on the face of the earth. I used to think the almajiris were irredeemable, but ipooos are beyond redemption. First all, this particular Ambazonian guy is not the true leader of the movement in ambazonia, he had a fall out with the head of that movement for funds misappropriation and was removed. He has now formed a faction of his own.
Besides, how can a blind man lead another blind man? Amabazonians are not free yet, they’re not recognized by any country of the world, so of what use are they to the Biafran struggle? To get Biafra, you must get the go ahead of a major power that can counter the creator of Nigeria-the British. South Sudan is a prime example of this. It took the USA to finalize the recognition and establishment of South Suda republic. Nnamdi Kanu, the usain bolt of our time is just a scammer.

maybe it will take the United States again to force Britain to relinquish its stranglehold on Nigeria, remember that Kamala Harris is an Igbo in law.in spite of Nigeria's overwhelming diplomatic advantage, Biafra is not lacking totally in sympathetic ears.

jaxxy:
Jonathan cluelessness caused all this. If Jonathan had done 3 simple actions he wud still be in power now and he wud have realized his mistakes that were leading the country nowhere and Changed our course of direction for better.

Jonathan should have sacked diezani and maybe probed her bt he was weak.

Jonathan shud listen to obasanjo or atleast got his support not watching diezani and his wife insult the statesman for telling u the truth to ur face on ur misrule.

Jonathan shud have cautioned his wife from making more enemies for him unnecessarily.

Just this alone and Buhari wud have never won anything. Despite Jonathan’s not so great performance bt that wud have changed the dynamics and a whole lot of things.

But he was clueless.

diezani did not do 10% of the fraud this buhari goons have committed since 2015.....lets wait till dem leave power.

ahiboilandgas:
There has been clamour for ibo presidency which is not bad and within their rights but will low voter turn out ....how do they intend to win a national election

there is a reason fulani control all major sensitive positions in government including inec........thay way they can magically conjure millions of votes in the north and magically delete votes from the east, when will you dumb black men buy common sense. tufiakwa..................when did real votes begin to count in presidential elections

RuudVanNisteroy:
The church also played a major role in whitewashing his image. With a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor as Vice-President candidate in 2015, majority of churches were actively campaigning for the Buhari/Osibanjo ticket. And politicians knows how best to use religion to deceive the gullible masses to get to power.

Do these acclaimed men of God actually hear from Him at all?

capitalzero:
OP is myopic conspiracy theorist and propagandist.
The issue s not about colour. There is nothing like black or white people. Racists developed concept of black and white people. Even Asians, Red Indians, and Arabs were described as blacks. New concept divides race into five -
Negroid race.Australoid race., Capoid race.Mongoloid race and Caucasoid race.

like a typical black man you never interrogate anything, the Blackman swallows anything the European dishes to him!

There is also no proof that something like this happened

Soldiers displaces people due to their tactless approach to security issues. I watched a video where people were complaining about hour soldiers entered their community destroying houses and shop. God will punish those who twist the truth just to sell their useless newspaper, including their supporters like Hediotic ewedu goblin OP

yoruba sophistry at its best! na una go tire.

theTranslator:
Hmm
Thoughtful.

I like what you're doing roski

We need to develop Africa and start telling our own stories
Until then this will continue

I am a Christian

I pray to God
It doesn't matter if Jesus was black or not

All present pictorial depiction of Jesus are false
I've known that since childhood

I understand the way you feel but it does matter what the true race of Jesus is! if it did not matter the Europeans will not have sort to paint themselves as the ancient Israelites, to fully grasp eschatology you must identify and know who the chosen people are. An honest and detailed study of Deuteronomy 28 proves without any doubt that the so-called Negro of today is a direct descendant of the shematic Hebrews of the bible. when the members of the IPOB call themselves the children of The Most High Yah people mock them but that mockery will soon end, indeed the Igbos are ancient Hebrews.......Yorubas are largely are of Assyrian origins but a considerable minority is also of Hebrew origins as well. The Hausas and fulanis are Hamitic in origin. we are living in interesting times indeed.

XXXXTENTACION:
When biafla comes Nnamdi Kanu will fly in this one.

oponu you are!

OfoIgbo:
These guys and stupidity are like 5 and 6

The army can only do this show of force in about 2 to 3 towns simultaneously. 5 towns at most

Igboland is not made up of just 5 towns so yet again, the military planners have embarked on the wrong course of action.

As I wrote severally previously, the Nigerian authorities will have to eat humble pie to make headway.

The Nigerian authorities started this meaningless violence against unarmed flag waving youths and women. They carried out this brutal violence for many years, killing and raping peaceful IPOB protesters.

Easterners no longer see the Nigerian military and police as there for them, so any show of force will be seen as a ploy to intimidate, and believe it or not, the normal easterner has more confidence in an ESN operative or UGM than in a police or military man.

Now that the military machine is in Owerri, the UGM can easily relocate to any other Igbo town and operate there, and possibly be organising hit and run operations inside Owerri.

Today the UGM have successfully checked the activities of military and police roadblocks in Igboland, and if the military now wants to adopt the show of force formular, in a few months time the UGM may team up with ESN to effectively instil terror in the hearts of military and police officials involved in those show of force operations.

The Nigerian authorities need to start speaking with IPOB and ESN, identify common interests and pursue them. Identify divergent interests and come up with compromises if possible

you said it all ! jaw jaw instead of war war, the problem of the fulani hegemony and their yoruba cohorts is there enduring sense of triumphalism !which has not ebbed since they won the civil war,as far as they are concerned Ndigbo are a defeated people and so should remain slaves in perpetuity. well its been 50years and the igbo of today have had enuff!

Igbochief001:
I believe as igbos we need to tax rented apartments 25 of their rented value

If a building is rented for 2 million a year government would get 500k ...mean state government ooh

States like anambra would easily make 400bn. Year from this , and imagine the Infastruture development we would achieve

Did u say corruption ? Would an igbo man pay that kind of money and not be interested in politics ? With middle class igbos interested in politics it would be imposible to loot much

that's way too high, that will be a massive windfall for our corrupt politicians and even more corrupt civil servants......5% -7% is okay,

Jman06:
Even you typing this rubbish, I'm sure you're typing from the comfort of the western world.

Y'all are cowards! I'll start taking Nnamdi Kanu serious the day he comes back to his father's house to lead the fight from home. For now, he's a bloody coward!

you are completely naive, the day Kanu sets foot in Nigeria, full-scale civil war will ensue........is that too hard for you to figure out.

Chigboboss:
Were you expecting me to come and save the noisy yet spineless criminal? Are you high?

If he's too scared to face the Military then why send young misguided men to face them? Why make the entire SE face what Nnamdi Kanu is too lily livered to face? Why can't you use your brains for once? What a load of rubbish.

why don't you go to ipob and esn camps and deliver this sanctimonious drivel to them, if you come back with your head still on your shoulders Thank your stars ! those dying are they dying your death....we are all free moral agents, life may be meaningful to you but maybe hell for others.Oga face your front...............this is the excuses we gave while the white man sold your black asses like cattle for 300 years and crowned it with another 100 years of colonialism. There are certain things more valuable than life itself......for your information !

Rosskiiku:
Kettle calling pot black.

If you were to have your way, millions of Igbos would perish in war.

So YOU are the demon.

death before dishonor and slavery............you are just a coward!

pls destroy aba too
by the time kanu is done with south-east una go get sence

You sound like the typical Black African Negro buffoon, overly righteous, hypocritical, and a bloody coward !! the black man is the weakest human on this planet.......every man from every other race has enslaved him even the Black woman has proven to be more resilient, the only height or zenith that black man has been able to conquer is the considerable mound of a woman's butt....tufiakwa !! you are trying to rationalize the take over of your ancestral lands by your fellow black "Arab wannabe" Fulanis.....................they will not get one square inch of Igboland and Biafra, you can surrender isale eko and ikeja to them.....anu mpam

thebosstrevor1:
I am eating bread and beans already....it has given more energy to write about ipob and make you more angry

you are the one hatred is poisoning ! may it continue to boil your soul !

thebosstrevor1:
You see, during the Niger delta crisis, the militants used oil as a bargaining tool, they hit Nigeria at the heart, they attacked the oil revenue, Nigeria bleeded and call them to the table.

IPOB has no bargaining chip. This brings me to why IPOB terrorist wants imo states by fire and force, imo state seems to be the only state in the south east with some oil, it contributes about 1.09% of total oil produce in Nigeria, note, this is very insignificant but they think if they can create choas in the land, then they will get access to the oil well in that state.

Now, this is a very dumb approach, that is because the oil is insignificant and wont affect Nigeria even if pipelines are bombed 24 hours a day.

Mr Kanu the terrorist knows he has no bargaining chip, no wonder, he spends his time looking to partner and support any groups within and outside Nigeria that wants Nigeria break up.

He believes the more partnerships he creates with other tribes looking to break out of Nigeria, the more choas they create together.

My next topic: Why Sowore Supports Ipob Nnamdi kanu

what is this one blabbing about? let them go now if they are useless and contribute nothing to Nigeria,

Chigboboss:
Nnamdi Kanu means nothing but destruction for Igboland.

The most annoying thing is that he is there sitting safely in London while putting hardworking igbos here at home through unnecessary risk, tension and harm.

Nnamdi must be discarded by all hardworking, sensible igbos.

okay! when MNK was locked up for nearly 2 months,where were you ? probably balanced on the ample butt of an ojuelegba prostitute....oga pls go take your medicine ......you are talking trash.

Rosskiiku:

What some of us elders can see sitting down, you youths of today cannot see standing from the tallest Iroko tree.


The Biafran war was a massive conflict.

2 million Igbos lost their lives.

There was mass starvation of Igbo people. Many also died of malnutrition and kwashiorkor.

If you think this did not happen on a large scale, go to every Igbo village and ask them where their civil war dead are buried, and they will show you. And I mean EVERY village.

All you youths shouting 'Biafra Biafra' need to cool down and research what happened the last time.

It was very terrible for the Igbos. They suffered greatly.

Virtually the entire world stood against Biafra and supported Nigeria.

Biafra was blockaded, by sea, land, and air. Nothing could come in or go out, for years.

Igbos were forced to eat anything that moved including cockroaches.

Cannibalism grew.

You honestly do not want a repeat of what happened back then.

The sad thing is that this twitter, SUV, smartphone, instagram generation is far, far, far, far, far, far less able to deal with such hardships than the 60s generation, if their reoccur.

Nnamdi Kanu to me, is an agent of people who want to destroy Igbos again, as they have become the most prosperous ethnic group on the continent, and therefore, must be cut down.

He could be an international agent.

He is in London stirring up trouble, and now the East is becoming a battle ground for federal troops.

In 3 years time, it could be ''worse than Syria'' just like Kanu promised.

Igbos, is THAT what you REALLY want for your region?

Igboland, the land of multi-million dollar village mansions, festivities, industries, factories, and fine, fast developing cities, turned to... SYRIA?

If not, get rid of Nnamdi Kanu, or that is exactly what you will get.

bloody demon
