Has it not dawned on us the #Buharimustgo ?

People of twitter have joined the fray in calling for Bubu,s resignation.

Truly , we are not ripe for that kind of reasoning down south.

Majority of us still believe in one Nigeria and one method-fits-all. As such, it is what butters my bread not giving a hoot what the other person gets.

"When the come comes to become, and we all come to a close combat, then we shall all come out" K.O Mbadiwe.

Now lets see how they will go about it.

A party built on propaganda. They have realized that 2019 is around the corner so they will restrategize and deceive us again

E no go work for them

DabuIIIT:

that guy has a point and u dont..what happened to southern unity in 2015? Who among the heads of the 3 arms of govt and the 4th arm,the judiciary,is a southerner? Please u guys can continue ur romance with the north,leave us alone with our high horse and donkeys. Shebi un a don clear..
Southern unity my foot.
@op,its no use,afonja will never learn,we shall keep on telling generations of their stories and tinubu aint no exception.

My point which by the way you missed , is the fact that this topic should not and must not be made about the Igbo nation. There is really no need to bring the Igbo into this conversation.

Re: Izuchukwu Nwajiaku Dies In Malaysia (Eze Ndigbo 1 Of Malaysia) by patriotic9jaboy(m): 12:23pm

"What is the essence of Eze ndigbo in Malaysia if not the continuous dominating attitude the SE is known for. They operate like the shiite group who will never succumb to the local authorities of their communities but rather form their own government within another government. This is why an Eze was flogged in ondo and Oba of lagos threatened them with lagoon all because of the same attitude. Who knows if the community king in Malaysia invoked the spirits of their ancestors to terminate the existence of the so called Eze ndigbo. Even though i love and have nothing against the igbos, i think they should learn to respect their host"


Have you seen the reason its dangerous to align with a yoruba man

I think it is highly instructive for you to stick to the topic of discussion.

It is very hypocritical for you to make this about the Igbo nation.

Aribasala pointed out the obvious reasons why Tinubu is going thru his present travails and all you could do is to make it about the Igbo?

No wonder people are skeptical about this "southern unity" . You have to come off your high horse.

Pay particular attention to item no 7.

We are seeing an unwholesome politicking here. To what end??

As events surrounding the raid by the DSS of the nation's judicial officers unfold, there are strong indications that it may not have been about corruption.

Facts have emerged that APC and indeed Buhari are acting a script. Please see below.

OLAADEGBU:


Give the man a chance.

Are you asking we give him a chance

He has all the power as president to do the right things, to right the wrongs of the past but he was too clueless and nepotistic to utilize it.

Now we are here, how many lives has he terminated? how many dreams has he killed? how many families has he rendered homeless and how businesses has he terminated. He need not cry over looted funds. He just have to fix the economy.

And you stop be a funny by asking to give him a chance.

fratermathy:
Buhari is not our problem. We are our own problem.

Granted, Buhari has not shown commitment in resolving some salient issues that bother on bias, nepotism, and transparency. However, he has proven himself to be honest and upright. Let's see where his ship sails to before we conclude.



Nigerians must change first before real change can occur. I have already written an article on this before. If we don't change the way we behave, our public order, our lifestyles, etc, no government policy will work for us. Buhari is 100% right on this.


Also take note that a country's president is not easily removed except the president resigns which I don't see happening in Nigeria. So this campaign is dead on arrival.



#IStandWithNigeria

If we are our problem as you said, why did we have to bring in a man who has divided us further, Who has worsened the condition of living of honest and hardworking Nigerians?
Buhari cannot beat his chest and say he has been honest in the ways he has been handling the affairs of the Nigerian State, so stop speaking for him. Instances abound of Buhari's dihonesty, nepotism, bias and tribalism as well as vengefulness.
And if by now you haven't seen where his ship is headed, then you must be superclueless.


As for standing with Buhari, you can do that all your life, but now, he cant run Nigeria aground. Nigeria is all we have and one man cannot sink it. Therefore he must go.

idupaul:
I support this call..we should persuade him to go abeg

Power belongs to the people and not the government. It is time we wield that power and persuade Buhari to go #Buharimustgo

Join your voices.

[b]He came into power and categorized us as 97% and 5%.
http://saharareporters.com/2015/07/25/buhari%E2%80%99s-statement-us-institute-peace-made-everyone-cringe-0

Ever since, he has treated us as 97% and 5%.

He lied to us that Boko Haram has been technically defeated, yet #Edodecides was postponed for fear of Boko Haram.

A lot of people have been murdered by Fulani herdsmen yet PMB has never deemed it fit to curtail their activities.

Ok, Was PMB not the one who said he would make his asset declaration public??
https://www.naij.com/554838-president-buhari-public-asset-declaration-falls-short.html

He has moved Fuel prize from N87 to N145 after more than 3 months excruciating scarcity.

The USD in nothing less than N400 to a dollar.

In arms probe, Dambazua was indicted, yet he still remains in Buhari’s cabinet.

General Buratai is yet to explain how he acquired his Dubai mansions.
http://saharareporters.com/2016/06/24/revealed-buharis-chief-army-staff-general-buratai-wives-own-dubai-property

What about 2016 Budget? first it got missing, reappeared doctored. When eventually passed, we found it was padded.

Buhari has banned the BBOG campaigners from protesting in Abuja.

He sanctioned the killing of Shiites and detaining indefinitely El-Zakzakky. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention for God knows how long. http://allafrica.com/view/group/main/main/id/00040328.html

To cap it all, Buhari has led us into recession.
http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/07/20/imf-warns-nigeria-heading-towards-recession/

And to insult us further, he is asking us to change ourselves before asking him for change.

Dear compatriots, is it wrong to call for Buhari to resign?

It is time #Buharimustgo[/b]

But PDP was a god sent party to your life?

May God run your life the way Buhari is running Nigeria.
Say Amen.

If you cant say Amen to that prayer, then it is high time you come back to your senses and realize that Buhari has to resign cos he has no clue as to what governance is all about.

Nigerians!, Its time for us to start calling for Buhari to resign as president of Nigeria.

Hasn't he done his worst? How much longer can we tolerate the evil Man and his devilish party?

Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists. By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.

It was always there, only for you to see and have the mental ability to process what you see.
Pity we are here today.

We have always been a people given to exploits.
we dream dreams and make things happen.

Our problem has always been lack of synergy and trust among us.
This initiative, if we commit to it will definitely be deal breaker for Igbo people in Nigeria.

I see a lot of excitement from people commenting above and I am like.... We need to get this right.

Seriously i pray and hope that we can see this through this time.

Is this an open invitation or strictly by invite?

Do you guys understand the implications of that restriction.

You are hailing tyranny now, wait until it comes for you.

This is clearly in contravention of the Nigerian constitution.
When a witch cries in the night and a child dies in the morning, how do you describe such occurrence Mere coincidence??
Well this is too coincidental for me to believe it is just a mere coincidence.

It didn't start today, even in 1984.

Join me in wailing

Join us in the wailing

We are partners only in this wailing, after that, to your tent oh Israel.

searching4love:



You are the biggest slave cos u and ur people will never taste political relevance and as long as we Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis got more numbers, you will continue wailing cos no one will entrust Nigeria into the hands of an Igbo man whose main target is seccession in the name of Biafra

Of course. The fulani knows you are perpetually an obedient SLAVE . Why won't they trust you cos they know how best to wipe you into line.
You never reason for your self. Only seeking what will make master happy. You've got to have balls to think of succession. And you don't have it.
Go and hide behind your mother's wrapper cos that's what you do

I DONT KNOW WHY THE IGBOS WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES OVER BUHARI'S APPOINTMENT. THIS MAN PROMISED CHANGE AND IF IGNORING FEDERAL CHARACTER IN THE APPOINTMENTS DOESN'T EQUATE TO CHANGE FROM OLD WAY OF DOING THINGS THEN WHAT IS CHANGE Y'ALL SHOULD KEEP CRYING AND WEEPING. WE THE YORUBAS INVESTED SO MUCH IN HIS PRESIDENCY BUT WE ARE NOT SCREAMING MARGINALIZATION. IF HE LIKES, LET HIM APPOINT CAMEROONIANS IN ALL POSITION WHAT MATTERS IS THE FULFILMENT OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES AND AN ENABLING ENVIROMENT FOR EVERYONE TO THRIVE. YOU IGBOS VOTED FOR GEJ IN MASS AND YOU ALL SHOULD EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN. Y'ALL ARE A CONFUSED BUNCH. TODAY U WANT Biafra, THE NEXT DAY U SCREAM MARGINALIZATION FROM THE SAID ZOO AS PROCLAIMED BY YOUR SUICIDE MISSION LEADER NNAMDI KANU. BUHARI CAN CHOOSE 100% NORTHERNERS. NOBODY CARES

Amadioha kujiekwa gi olu.
Cos Nigeria belongs to few people? Cos it is a crime to exercise your free will in casting your vote?

Buhari .....please forgive us....igbos...... ....even if you cannot give us bridge......we can manage canoe...

I am ibo and from Nnewi.
I am ashamed of my ibo people.
Nigerians should forgive us for our stupidity
We are just sorry because we are jealous of Yorubas
We wish we had an origin, history and culture like them.
We must be less cowardly and brave like Yorubas who plan better.
I say no to Biafra and I know we need Nigeria more than you need us.
Please just allow us to be shouting Biafra of the Internet because we are jobless.
Nairaland is all we have and even that is owned by a Yoruba man who is nice.
We must stop Okija, ritual killings, Osu issue, fraud, fake spare-parts etc
We know without you we cannot survive that is why we run to your land
Our shame and hopelessness in the face of your superiority is terrible.
Even Ijaws are now our bosses and we have been reduced to goats.

clevadani:
Nice thought provoking piece. But I have to say that it is lace with lies and half-truths
How can u generalise and say that the igbos are the main targets and victims of bombings in the north or that it is only igbo businesses that are suffering as a result of d carnage in the north.
I know the author is trying to engender unity within the igbos,but that does not mean that he has to wickedly twists facts and try to whip up ethnic hatred between igbos and other tribe. I'm not sure what Obasanjo did in Onitsha but can vividly remember what happened in Udi. Is Udi Igboland? Why is the writer crying more than the bereaved? Besides I can't remember any prominent Igbo group speaking for Udi during that period. Is it because Obasanjo was a pdp man then? And now a party you rejected is now in power, u guys can't play opposition politics?
I was born and brought up in the ss and 70 percent of my friends are igbos but i have never heard anyone saying they are being persecuted for being igbos. Neither have I heard them saying their relations in part of the country is targeted. They all live like the average Nigerian suffering the effects of bad leadersip at every level.
Though I have to say, the Igbos are special. They have amazing entreprenuer abilities and are always ready to work. But I have to say their problems are not peculiar neither is it caused by the Nigerian state. The problem the Igbos have is visible in all of Sub Saharan Africa. It is the problem of bad leadership. Peter Obi and t.a Orji received the same allocations during their tenures,but compare Abia and Anambra. Aba has the potential to become not just the manufacturing hub,but also the no1 marketplace in W Africa. They have the potential to generate enough revenue to fund projects. But what happened?
This is already too long. But if majority of Igbos feel that biafra is the only way out,let their leaders start looking for diplomatic means to exit. Not war
I believe in Nigeria

The first bolded; There is no generalisation in his statement. If you will be truthful to yourself, you will understand that most upheavals and massacres in the north have their primary targets as Igbos or Easterners. Any other group involved are most times collateral.
And if those groups feel they dont need raise alarm, goodluck to them.

The second bolded; Isn't it obvious that majority of Igbos don't feel belonged in Nigeria and wants out? Isn't it people of your nationality that is crying more than the bereaved and insisting we remain in this contraption with you?
Incidentally, the OP talked about the few political elites of Eastern region who feel we must remain here cos their bread is buttered somehow, and you want same people to "look for diplomatic" means of exit. Tell me, Clevadani, how is that really possible?

#Buhariphobia: Prices of staple foods come to an all time low as fear of Buhari's probe grips vendors

laudate:


Now you have truly lost me. Am scratching my head trying to understand what you meant, by saying: "Biafra is a geographical located just off the coast of the Bight of Biafra. It simply is not a creation of Ojukwu and does not constitute only Igbo people."

Can you explain this? My thoughts were that Biafra comprises of the South-East (SE) Igbo as well as indigenous Igbo in the Niger-Delta. Is that correct?

The geographical area called Biafra was derived from the name of the surrounding coastal waters, the Bight of Biafra. And within this area, you find other ethnic nationalities in addition to the igbo people.
The south east of Nigeria as we know it today, isn't really d geographical south east of Nigeria, but a political south east. The south east would be all the area East of the Niger.

nutarious:






Lemme split it out for u, Nigeria has 6 regions that made her federation unit currently. Unlike those days when it was purely 3,thigns have change. The south South is same as north Central and this regions are predominantly politically dift and conscious too.

So what I was says is that, the Biafra map of 1966 can't work again, that y I ask would

Bayelsa
.
Rivers
.
Edo
.
Cross River
.
Akwa ibom
.
Delta

still aspire for Biafra?

There is north Central and South Central and they all are fedrating units,

Check ur compass and stop arquening. In those days they weren't politically aware of their aspirations but now they do.

So stop going back to the past, the south South has come to be reckon dift from IGBOs cos they aren't IGBOs, u want dem to become the minority?


Pls stop this Biafra thing and let's all go back home and develop home, solve our problems and stop blaming others for our issues. Gbam.

You asked a question , which I addresses. Were you not expecting an answer , or you never expected the one i gave you?
My intention is to educate you that geographically, nothing like south-south. it is either south or not. I was also able to show you what Niger Delta means, geographically.
In Nigerian context, these words are just political creation of divide and rule. Yes.... Divide and Rule.
If we must return home and build our nation , a noble idea by the way, we need to address our foundational problems. And you can not pretend that these problems do not exist, otherwise you will be living in denial.

nutarious:
My Mum is igbo, Dad Yoruba. Married Yoruba.



1= During the last war, Ojukwu calculated the South South as Biafrans, the wealth in South South triples that of the East.

Now my questions are since it's very obvious Niger delta won't be part of this Biafrans Emancipation, how do Biafrans survive, what resources do they have to take them to places? Where would the finances comes from, Pls I need urgent answers to anybody still dreaming Biafra?

It is important you understand first, what is Niger Delta and what is South south as well as what Biafra is.
Your primary geography teaches you that a delta is a river distributory, in this case, a distributory of Niger river. It follows then that the all the places through which the Niger river empties into the ocean can be classified as NIGER DELTA.



South South is a political expression and has no meaning in Geography. you either have North, south, east and west or NE, NW SE or SW nothing like North north or south south, they simply have no geographical meaning.

Now Biafra is a geographical located just off the coast of the Bight of Biafra. It simply is not a creation of Ojukwu and does not constitute only Igbo people. Again,Your south south and Niger Delta also has a large percentage of igbo speaking communities and so, you can not just take it to mean that the Igbo is concentrated only in the five igbo speaking states.

thank you.

MizMyColi:
OP, though I don't see any markers to show that this is really PH Owerri Road, I do not doubt you.

I plied that route today to FUTO, though, I did not witness the bad part of the road. There are possibilities the carnage is further down the road.

Personally, what I observed in the villages/towns I've toured so far is that, Owelle Rochas Okorocha and his wife, with all due respect is running a government of BILBOCRACY - A government run on Super 48 sheet billboards, by the billboards, and - for the billboards.

This is Umuapu, the boarder town between Imo and Rivers state, but on Imo end.
I also passed that road this evening. It was terrible.
That road is an NDDC project, part of which has been done. They really need to expedite action on that road, assuming it has not been abandoned.

Realisticman:
No. But it is a crime not to believe in the emergence of a winner after a hitch-free democratic process. . Ekiti state, Cross river state , Bayelsa state respectively did not vote for the APC but have all benefited in the Security appointments so far. There are other tribes who did not vote for the APC but you will never hear them in the media insulting a government that is not up to 100 days in office. You hate others and you want to force them to love you, how?

So in ur argument, the south east are the people disparaging Buhari for his inactions.
You forgot dat d south west unleashed their propaganda machine when they lost out at the national assembly. Of course, it is convenient for you to blame the south east. Go ahead, until we realise the dangerous trend dis govt is creating, we will all suffer from it in d end.
