Let me first of all start by stating/expressing with profound sorrow the unnecessary loss of almost 200 young Igbo men found in the Ezu river. I'm highly dissapointed in some, if not in all of our current crop of Igbo leaders. May their souls rest in perfect peace; AMEN.

I look forward to answering any question(s) that you may have for me in the debate. While waiting for that, I would like to give a SLIGHT insight as to what my Ezeship would look like. I am a staunch believer in Biafra and I KNOW (note the word KNOW is used for a reason) that Ndigbo and by extension other nigerians are better off letting Biafra/Igbo republic be.

The area of the media is also a VERY important area in my heart. Over the years, Ndigbo do not have a tangible voice in the media, hence our getting the bad rap in the media. If we have a strong voice in the media, we can achieve our republic. Take a look at the Palestinians,,,,they have all these bad image about carrying out terrorist acts against Israel. Today, Palestine have been granted an "observer role" at the united nations (UN). Again my brothers take a look at nairaland as a website,,,,go from the infancy stages of NL (2007-date)) and see how Ndigbo were/are still being potrayed. There was a thread on the recent promotions in the nigerian army and another on the nigerian customs' recruitment,,,,matter of fact compare the traffic on these two thread below: https://www.nairaland.com/1180803/panic-presidency-over-mounting-tension and https://www.nairaland.com/1191006/lopsidedness-kano-customs-training-college. the usual suspects took to their heels when the custom thread came up. I even appealed for the thread to make it to the front page,,,,but it didn't. That my brothers is the power of the media. It can control the mind without the mind knowing it's being controlled.


Ndigbo as a people are difficult to lead, but there comes a time when idealism MUST give way to realism. Igbo are republican by nature and this republicanism sometimes get in the way of getting our desired political result. I also belive that while still in the dungeon called nigeria, Igbo's political and economic interest should be protected, even by those of us promoting the actualisation of Biafra/Igbo republic. These can be achieved for I believe the time has come for Ndigbo to "eat their cake and in turn demand for it". We've given soo much and gotten too little.

Ndigbo kwenu! Igbo kwezuo nu! Biko umunnem na umunna, gba aharanum maka abiaram na oge.
Let me start by apologizing once again to my brethren, I was busy at work and meant no disrespect. Let me also thank Freeglobe and all those who nominated me, including my would be opponent Onlytruth.

BTW, why are some male posters attaching "female(f)" to their moniker?

I apologise if I had not responded on time. At the moment, I don't live in nigeria and my time zone is quite different from nigeria, hence; my late response. I accept the nomination and will outline my speech in a couple of hours as I get ready for my days assignment. Again, be patient and don't take this as an insult if I don't respond on time. Thanks.

I will advise the electoral committee and umu Igbo to be weary of impostors posing as Igbo. I will also like to see more folks offering themselves for service to Ndigbo too. I know we're all busy, but the sacrifice will worth it. I learnt the true meaning sacrifice when I saw the movie "Lord of the ring" (fellowship of the ring). It gets to a time when you can ask no more of a person that has done so much for you, even to the point risking his/her life for a cause. You just have to know when to step in, even when it's inconvinient/risky for you. Again, I will limit my postings on this thread and increase my "observership". Dalu nu ummunem.

achi4u: @syncan

Kedu onye I na-aju ma "O sere wii wii?
nna iga egbu madu ebe a


Again I nominate alex101 but why is he not contributing to the discussions so far,is it how he's to rule us?
Again am questioning this character not minding what his manifestos says.He need to show face and contribute.

Dalu wanna. Ana ma eso threadia. I follow this thread when I'm not too busy and I do that VERY closely.

Abagworo: I'm a real Igbo guy and believe in reality. The Eze you guys elected has already resigned and what makes you think the next one won't resign. You started from a woman winning the Eze-elect to introducing the male. Can't you see that it ain't working? By the way who is the Sarkin Hausawa of Nairaland or the Amanyanabo of Ijaw on Nairaland or Obong of Efil/Ibibio on Nairaland or even Oba of Edos(who have internationaly recognized monarchy) on Nairaland?

I strongly believe that you are a coward. You are always all suped up when attacking anything Igbo, but when it comes to non-Igbo, you chicken out like a typical efulefu. Though your reason for creating division amongst Igbo is due to your inferirity complex. Let me ask you a question, if the EZE Ndigbo won't work or will be a failure, why border yourself? Why don't you wait and when it "fails" again, then you can come and make fun of us?

Now let me give a brief insight to what my tenure/Ezeship WILL look ike if elected, because I don't want to be acused of pretending to portray who I'm not. If you are comfortable with what I'll spew below, then I'm your guy, if not then nominate someone else. Folks, below is what you WILL get from me:

1. I'm an Igboist to the core. To some (especially Igbo enemies and even some Igbo) I may come across as a bigot.

2. I'm a Biafranist/Igbo republic to the core. In promoting Biafra/Igbo republic, I will also promote Igbo interests within the dungeon called nigeria, because I strongly "believe eating your cake and having it". Ndigbo are a major ethnic group in nigeria and should/must not go begging anybody for anything. All we need do is affirm ourselves steadfastly towards achieving a collective goal.

3. The media is a VERY powerful weapon. Our parents before and after the war, did nothing to challenge the apportioning of lies/falsehood levelled against us as a people and the result today has made others think we are the problem with nigeria,,,,a "problem" they refuse to let go LOL. The average nigerian is an illiterate (even the so called "educated" ones), they lack the gift of discernment, hence; we must not let our enemies manipulate/use these gullible folks against us. My brothers/sisters, take a look at our neighbors is the old eastern region, 43yrs after massive pollution and degradation of their environment by the endless looting of their oil carried out by the north and SW, who do you think get all the blame for these? Who do you think the folks in the so called SS acuse of trying to "dominate" them by stealing their oil? Igbo gets all these blame and do you know why? The answer is simple,,,,NO media presence to counter these falsehood.

Finally, if you're not comfortable with my would be style of SERVICE, then nominate somebody else.

FreeGlobe: double id's alert.

@alex101 what are your thoughts too on our clown governor Rochas dragging APGA to APC

Again, thanks for the question. Let me state here that I'm from Imo state myself,,,,Ideato south to be precise and I believe Rochas is from around that area too, if I'm not mistaken. I have been told by a reliable source that Rochas is on a mission to introduce Islam into Igboland and his Igbo background "might" be contestible. Now based on all these and the way he rushed to APC without "FULLY" and "TIRELESSLY" consulting his fellow members in APGA, then I must say he's own his own. Then again, if he or any other Igbo like Ngige can grab the APC presidential ticket, then I (like most Igbo) might start to re-evaluate this APC, because like my people say,,,ana ha no ofu ebe a gba egu.

FreeGlobe: Nice. You may my vote. let me wait for others, btw, whats your opinion on Biafra, SE governors, APC etc?

Thanks. @ the bolded, see my view below:

On Biafra: Lets just say I'm more PRO-BIAFRAN than even Dede1 himself LOL.

On SE governors: I see them as every other governors in nigeria,,,not bright, though I'd limit my opinion on our SE governors. Let me brief here: Obi showed his true colors by sanctioning the killings of his own in MASSOB. You don't have to order the killing of your kith and kins just because you're against their agitation,,,,bro, as bad as boko haram is, don't you see the northern establishment voicing their concern on the army when they engage boko haram.

On APC: this anaother ploy by the Yorubas to get power through the back door, i.e the VP slot. Their strategy here is simple: push the old man Buhari/Yoruba VP, hope the old man Buhari dies in office like Yaradua,,,and there is the presidency at their door step,,,,,I dey laugh .

Ndigbo, ana ma ekele unu. I greet you all and humbly seek your approval for me to serve you all. Thanks ang God bless Ndigbo. I do not seek to lead you all sons and daughters of the Igbo race, rather I want to to be your "servant" Eze. If elected, I will focus on the area of media importance vis-a-vis Igbo status in nigeria. Lots of lies have been peddled against us in nigeria by our enemies who control the media and we must fight back. Our parents did not fight these falsehood (understandably because they were picking up the pieces of their lives after the war) and if we the youths of Igboland cannot do this, then we've got problem.

berem: biko nwanne i nwere ike ideputa akuko gi a na igbo?

Nsogbu adighi, aga ma ede ya mgbe oge ruhu.

Dear umuIgbo, I humbly nominate my self. I do so not because I want to lead you great people of Igbo race, rather I want to serve you all. If I'm elected Eze, my main aim will be for Ndigbo to embrace the importance of the media and use it to their advantage and to correct the wrong impressions which our enemies have used to apport all manner of falsehood against us in Nigeria. I may not have all the time in the world to be on NL 24/7, but I promise to make myself available as often as I can. Again as we elect/nominate a new Eze, let's watchout for impostors/fake with all manner of IDs. Thanks and Godbless Ndigbo.

PointB: To be frank, I am a little wary how our Mods have approached the issue of our election, especially the last one, and supposed this would better served under the radar. But if I hear from Umu Igbo, I will consider opening another thread.

I appreciate your concern though. Thanks.

Well said my brother. I think we should do it here (elect a new Eze) on this very thread. Lots of work need to be done. @ Odumchi, very unfortunate you had to leave at a time like this, but we respect your wishes.

ekt_bear:

Happy new year bro

GARRI (x7):
If Ndu_Chuks catch you, you're on your own ooo!!

Bros, pay no mind to that criminal aboki. Them ewusa/fulani miserable lives depend on one-nigeria, but again the entire black race is more important than what them and their southern mouth-piece desire.

My duty is not to the dungeon called nigeria, rather it's to the black race, and this duty I owe to the black race is to ensure the disintegration of nigeria. I take this stand because I strongly believe that one of the nations that will emerge from the ashes of nigeria will lead the black race to greatness.

TO DISINTEGRATE THE NIGERIAN DUNGEON IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE IN THE INTEREST OF THE BLACK RACE

Ol boy Sagamite, abeg make I chop my food before I spill my food . Will be back later

Sagamite: Don't mind the moronic person!

Lets even believe a foool that says Nigeria is the only country in Africa that has a "War College", and so?

That means it is a good or reliable place? The same place they train monkeys like Chongaiman like animals?

That was how one foool on NL was telling me that Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) is an intellectual hotspot where the best in Nigeria are trained.

The same NIPSS that does not have a website in the 21st century is an intellectual hotspot?

To fucktards like these, just tag something a fanciful name and it is great. Cretinous, unexposed moorons that have not seen quality talk about their life is good in Nigeria.

I just had a visitor in my house now and we were discussing how shyt Nigeria is because of their poor work ethics and culture of charging an arm and a leg for anything that meets a basic standard (not exceptional standard). For those that have been to Ghana, one would know they are miles ahead of Nigeria, while cretins like these call themselves "Giant of Africa" while being in mainly a shythole. We both agreed if one is moving back, just move to Ghana where you get value for money instead of being milked by a few select corrupt arseholes that destroy the country and have only pockets of good places which they charge an arm and a leg for, helped by the fact they let the rest rot.

Then you have a moronic person coming to say SA is begging Nigeria to train their army?

He is a mental patient!

I almost fell of the chair reading the bolded The word intellectual and most nigerians don't mix

God bless you Sagamite. These so called blind patriots will do anything to lie to the world about how "great" the dungeon called nigeria is . Imagine a person (apolgies to Sagamite) saying that South Africa begs nigeria to train her military .

Do you know I ran into one person (again, apologies to Sagamite) who stated that nigeria is the only country that has a 'war college' in the entire Africa .

Mods, please kindly put this important thread https://www.nairaland.com/1191006/lopsidedness-kano-customs-training-college#14239690 on the front page. I strongly believe a thread like this will lead to intellectual debate.

BTW, why are yorubas avoiding this thread like a plague,,,,,cowardice is a disease . This thread should make it to the front page.

Dede1: This is the reason I distaste anything Nigeria. The so-called southern Nigerians, baring the Biafrans, have collectively sold out to northern Nigerians on the backdrop of imaginary Igbo domination of Nigeria. The only remedy to the cesspit called Nigeria is sudden disintegration. I do not care if the sudden disintegration results into war of attrition.

@ the bolded, you couldn't be more correct .

kettykings: if am getting you right the northerners did it to control the Sea port in the South West but how come the Yorubas are not threatening mutiny and will never mutiny and will never ever threaten mutiny for northerner occupying the Sea port in their Front yard .

If i am not mistaken some people are threatening mutiny and calling for the head of the COAS for an alleged mis balance in appointments that are mainly in the northern region but close their eyes to an outright marginalization/Domination/Exploitation and enslavement of their tribe in a sea port in their Front yard.

Why are Yorubas like this

Bros, it's very shameful that our "friends" of yoruba extraction have eternally damned themselves to servitude to hausa/fulani,,,,talk about "enslave me, but don't kill me mentality".

I already knew this a long time ago via my cousin who has a clearing agency in Apapa. The nmortherners did this to control the ports in the south in order to check arms from entering the south, while allowing arms into the ever porous northern borders. Well, good morning to southern 'one-nigerianist'.

Onlytruth: I remember I made the same call sometime last year. That organization is getting more and more annoying. All they know how to do is to scheme to collect money from our people.
If they are a non-profit organization whose only focus is on the disabled Biafran soldiers, I would understand and support them. But they are busy running around the streets, leading uneducated and gullible Igbo youths to their untimely deaths, and in the process introducing a culture of cowardice into Igbo land.
I once called on them to leave Igboland. I still stand by that call.

Greetings bro, I just returned back to base from home and I must say culturally speaking, things are not what I expect them to be. On this issue of MASSOB, I'm with you 100%. The leadership is visionless and the last thing we want is them leading precious Igbo youths to early grave. On my conversation with the average Igbo, especially those outside the SE within the nigerian dungeon, I found out that they are the most naïve and gullible that still see nigeria as one. Very unfortunate .

If these corpses are those of MASSOB, then the leadership of Massob should be held acountable like the trigger happy nigerian police/army. Uwazurike is the greatest fool ever for thinking he can 'tame a lion bare-handed'. All he's doing is leading Igbo youths to their untimely deaths . Also, the Igbo politicians must request for thorough investigation and the appropriate purnishment metted out to those basterd uniformed cowards that keep shooting unarmed civilians. MASSOB should disband immediately before they start making our youths think and act like cowards .

Eziokwu! I refuse to believe these animals as I will not make the mistake of past Igbo leaders. There still one north as far as I'm concerned

alj_harem:
awolowo obeyed gowon because he was the president but when did he deliever his people to hausa/fulani

gowon is not even hausa/fulani

awolowo sacrificed his people at the slave altar to the hausa/fulani in 1967

alj_harem:
to invade his people and deliever lagos to ojukwu

Ok, since he didn't obey orders, awolowo obeyed gowon's orders and delivered his people (yorubas) to the hausa/fulani  for enslavement .

alj_harem:
good biafra had supporters from minority ethnic groups even yorubas such as banjo, wole but certainly not the majorities

Don't even mention banjo, because if he had obeyed orders, we will not be having this conversation, as we will be in different countries.
