The writer is an idiot!

A very big idiot I tell you

Very useless country.

Dsov2016:
were you part of it. my friend ask other sources intact I repeat my statement go to usen an let them use u for reenactment

Wetin I dey go find for usen?

Dsov2016:
and you are quite silly did I drag the Igbo's into this matter , I am only stating history and if you feel pained why don't you invent a time machine and go and change history

Which biased history are you referring to? Is it the killings of Western Igbos civilians, using FG mechinary, the height of your treachery that you call history? Where was your strong warlords, when Biafran soldiers overan Benin? You never stood a chance man. Biafrans retreated and you had the chance to unleash your venom on fellow civilians because of the frustration and pain of defeat.

OreMI22:
PLEASE,
What is Nigeria turning into?

Intolerance everywhere.

It is the type of nation you get when everyone from the President to the street sweeper sees the country only through the lens of ethnic bigotry.

Nigeria needs inspiring and detribalized leaders.

There is nothing like Nigeria. Its a conglomarate of British experimental slave dungeon. Can you in all honesty ever be proud of Nigeria?

Dsov2016:
bros come usen make them come reenact wetin them do Biafra soldiers for your body �.

but wait o the federal troops way drive them comot was it not led in the benin sector by ogbemudia

You have been making too much noise lately. Face your Ijaw nemesis and leave Igbos out of it. We are not your mate. Inugo.

Heartbender:
This act of the Binis in Edo state is a wildfire waiting for the match stick to strike.
Bini are not the only tribe in Edo state. When the military partitioned tribes into states they didn't consider people but land mass. That's why you'll see people from Benue state being part of Cross River[b] and some tribes in Enugu having a language and custom totally alien to the Igbos.[/b] Ijaws are water people. You'll find them along coastal regions mostly even as far as Benin Republic, Ivory Coast, Ghana, etc.
For a sect to want to forcefully merge another sect by compelling obedience through coercion and dark rhetoric it shows the end of its civilisation or empire. The Old Benin Empire found this truth through bitter means. Even the British, Roman, Egyptian, etc empires. I wish our African generation and all of mankind would have common sense.

There is no tribe in Enugu that speaks an alien tongue other than a dialect of the Igbo language. Get your fact right. The most is the border communities that are bilingual, Igala and Igbo language. Your divide and rule is dead on arrival.

This is why no one takes Africans seriously. Nobody, regardless of how evil, will dare sell an American to slavery... because they know that Americans do not joke with their citizens and will readily go to war over one child. A Nigerian? Pls... our government is ready to sell us at any price.

Here are Nigerians, sold as slaves, because the alternative (staying in their own country) is no better than slavery. Here is Reno, pretending as if slavery does not exist in the same Nigeria (oh wait, Reno is safe in his UK abode). Here is Reno, pretending as if those Nigerian slaves wouldn't be roaming the streets of Lagos today with no jobs, no hope, no food, no competent government, dilapidated infrastructure. Long before Obama, Nigerians were busy dying in Libya and the mediterranean sea. Rather than hold our government responsible for creating a situation where our young men see running off to libya and being sold as slaves as a better alternative to staying in a country that holds nothing but despair, he is busy chastising Obama. Obama went into Libya primarily to protect American interests... who cares if Nigerians end up as collateral damage?

Perhaps Reno also blames Obama for the 26 Nigerian women who perished off the coast of Libya too? The very same people that no single Nigerian government official deemed fit to be present at their burial as another foreign nation took responsibility. It took an American media company (CNN) to fly thousands of miles to expose a travesty in our own backyard. Where was our own NTA? Yeah Reno, everything is the fault of the Americans. When are we going to blame them for the recession in Nigeria? Nigeria and its people are the world's biggest jokes.

Well said bro. This is the very reason Biafrans wants out. Nnamdi Kanu fuvcked up badly, if not. Nigeria is a joke.

Stingman:
What they did 100 years ago is what the Yoruba cannibals are doing in 2017...

Have you taking your akamu with grounded human parts this morning..?

No mind am. Skull minning is their new oil

konoplyanka:
Everyone knows that the British met a very difficult situation in iboland. Many whites where captured And eaten by ibo cannibals.

If the shit you just typed is true, it would have been reported by the same British. Where this information is coming from is the same white. Why are hafonjas always jelouse

The HMS Flirt was used in the bombardment of the western Igbo town of Asaba in retaliation to its involvement in the Ekumeku movement against the encroachment of the British chartered Royal Niger Company in 1898. The Royal Niger Company was later joined with the Niger Coast Protectorate and they became the Northern and Southern Nigeria Protectorates in 1900.

Obiano was quoted out of context. His position is on the need for Igbos to repatriate their investment home. I think if Igbos heed to his call, the long aspiration of the Yorubas will be achieved, Igbos leaving the S'West in drove.
The reality is, since most tribes/groups, detest the Igbos, we should strategically start investing back home. Vacate Lagos, leave Kano, and even Kaduna, move back East, if at all you want to venture outside the East, Asaba is still an Igbo enclave, PH is there, Just leave those region that keeps reminding you of your status as a stranger in the same so called one Nigeria.

MayorofLagos:
Warrior,
How long will you fight a war of independence? Shouldnt you give up already?
Bloody freak!

That should not be your business. Sit back and watch event unfold accordingly. Stop jerking for us.

MayorofLagos:
Igbo and fake wars...

This is a historically documented fact, so which one is fake again Are you also blind to the fact that this information was culled from a book written by a westerner?

Alariiwo:
So why do you people keep infiltrating other people's lands?

You want freedom but can't let go of Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt etc..

Which yeye freedom are you fighting for.. Even after serving you quit notice, your red cap elders went to prostrate for Arewa youths to let them stay.

Stop overflogging your importance.. You lots are parasites that won't just keep quiet.

Aliriiwa konjo, the hafonja winch, carry your dirty nyash comot for this thread now

Yyeske:
My brother, I'm so confused with different assertions here from both sides but since the case had been deliberated on by a court and verdict given then it stands and the Ijaws should abide by it.

Court verdict Well if it is true, then the best is to appeal. However, where is the evidence if ever there is an existing court verdict? wopu onu no okwu nha. Obgasigieyi.

bomasek:
Who be this one,we warlords dey talk,fly sef wan dance waist dance were we dey

You warlords are already going soft if na lie, ask Ateke. The guy don dey chill for him palace, no time for wahala. Na to dey enjoy dey go be that'o

imhotep:
Can you post more of those old photographs

I will try, but not sure of my speed.

lalasticlala, this post deserve to be in front page.

gidgiddy:
The fight by Igbos to be independent has a long time thing, we shall get there eventually

Yes. We will get there. But first, our unity is paramount, expecially with our brothers accross the politically gerimandered divide.

This issue should be settled amicably. No need to be beating the drum of war. Its the ordinary man that suffers in every conflict.

Yyeske:
I did and that was why I didn't want anybody to mention Igbo again after you did, we need to quench the taste for problem between both groups instead of bringing the Igbos into the fray.

Noted... No problem.

Yyeske:
Please don't bring our case here, let the Ijaws and Binis settle their case before mentioning Igbos abeg, we already have so many issues on our hands already.

Did you not read his comment where he delibrately berated Igbos? he is a jack ass

Afriifa:
what is this rejected vampire saying?

My friend, learn to respect your elders. Are you mad? You must be a war drunk junk.

Afriifa:
shut up if you know nothing. the Ijaws are blessed too blessed. that's why most their neighbours envy dem.. as the saying goes... even blessings attracts enemies. Ijaws has to fight every day to defend what God has blessed them with. that's why d many enemies.. stop talking down in the Ijaws... the damn federal road to your state is likely built by the resources from the Ijaw region. be grateful at least. and stop talking down like an ungrateful bastard.

Please, stop this nonsense. Is it only in Ijaw land that oil is been drilled? What about Igboid areas in Rivers and Delta that oil is carted away on daily basis? No need even mentioning Abia and Imo. Ijaws are not the only region surffering from neglect and marginilization. Just don't involve us in your troubles.

"Far from willingly conceding their territory to the military patrols, the people of Southeastern Nigeria opposed the British advance in more than three hundred pitched battles over a twenty year period, suffering at least ten thousand casualties. [...] Although violent resistance could not halt the British advance, it was effective in moderating and speed and thoroughness of that advance and in enabling Southeastern Nigerians to retain a measure of self-determination over the rate at which they absorbed technological and other changes"

kettykin:
How do you go Regional with out having the levers of power even at that the former proponents of restructuring and the Sovereing National Conference has started singing another Tune to the extent that they even voted an unrepentant coup plotter to be their leader

That is the point. If we can unite under one umbrella, it will be easy to speak with one voice. APGA is currently the party Igbos should rally for.

The best bet for igbos is to go regional. Lets adopt APGA, regionalize it, presidency should not be our shot for fuvck sake.

EbubeIkedi:
Daft ipob tout, you mean no brown roof in your cursed eboe land? You cry marginalization today, and beat chest the next day. No one take you loudmouthed criminals serious anymore. Smh

Hehehee Look at this olodo. Where you from come out come they run mouth any how. EbubeIkedi, you too like wahala . Anyway, your post reeks of bigotery as usual, so I'll ignore you hanceforth.

proeast:
WTF? I'm surprised that other races still treat blacks with respect, the kind of shame and mud we are swimming in is enough to make others treat us with derison. Shame on our leaders, the embarrasment going on in Libya is enough to cause a diplomatic row between Nigeria & them but we are here watching helplessly and waiting for America & EU to come and solve our problem for us. SHAME ON US!!!

Do you have a president? If your country is run by sane and qualified people, Libya will be shitting her pantys now. But reverse is the case. Even in Nigeria, your armed forces use you as target practice. Nigeria needs God's intervention. What a country
