[quote author=Al_Qaadir]I believe as Northerner (not far north)that Gej is really trying for this country though he may not be perfect but he is far better to all other head of states we had have in this Nation and any people criticizing him for his action is doing that because of his hatred to the man nothing else.
There are some people here that i personally observed that are agents of darkness trivialising what ever is coming from Gej but let me make it known to those people that no amount of intimidation can stop Gej and if any section of this country try any thing funny this country will be a history, i personally and many other senseble people from north has now seen who are our real enemies and their accomplice from the same south where Gej came from.
South west people should support the northern minorities as the Igbo's are doing rather than keep supporting the same people that wanted to exterminate them during military regime.
There is a battle going on now reason with your brain dudes[/quote]Question, are you saying Nigerian apart from Hausa/fulani and Igbos have to chose on what side they are for and against ?

So if we are not for Igbos, we must be for Fulani ? Or vise versa ?

LOL Too many kids on Nairaland. Well you are just another silly Igbo dude with another moniker anyway. You are yet to understand Nigeria

^^^^^^^^ But the Oil industry is controlled by Foriegners, and Igbos so what are you blabbing about ?

hardniola: nigeria let dis pipo(biafra) go dont repair d bridge plssssssss.

correct sir

if you are baifran, I wonder what you need a West-East bridge for ? I mean this is a dream come true, ideeeiot

BTW, OP the SE has crude oil deposit.

Omo tire where are you from ? Rivers ?

Not to be petty but the report is misleading, branches of shoprite are already in Kano, Lagos, Oyo, Enugu, Kwara and Abuja. Saying it is the fourth state is a lie which is not needed, but not that it matters.

very very unlike Nigeria. It seems Imo state Government has gotten to an advance level. Who said SEerners are not politically wise, Imo state has just proven them wrong again.

so fulani, yoruba and english attire is all I see

[size=18pt]Kindly read what Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu wrote about Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his book "Because I Am Involved" page 159- 160.[/size]

In political terms, he would be considered an adversary of the igbos given the intense rivalry between him and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. As a leader of the modern cast, he has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’.

Many have wondered what I meant by this, but I believe the statement was clear. Nigeria would have benefited from his presidency because of his inate presidential qualities. Nigeria must continually regret that he never, for many reasons, had the opportunity to serve at the presidential level. Awo was a leader of great stature. He was a leader who was eminently successful. [size=13pt]That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people.[/size]

He perceived his job as leading his people and God his soul. He did a lot for them. Whenever he saw an opportunity for his people, he went for it. He had a dream for the Yorubas and was steadfast in the pursuit of that dream. He knew where he was going and took his people with him without deceit. That is why he will remain immortal in the area of his influence.

pazienza: The funny thing is that the same land that they forcefully took from the south easterners,in the name of abandoned property,had long been bought over by the descendants of those south-easterners they took those lands from, Ph like before the war,is still in the hands of south-easterners,as they are the group that like investing in landed property,outside their towns of origin. The fact that they have succeded in re-buying those land back,shows that they actually acquired it before,because of their hardwork.

People should learn to be grateful to south-easterners,most of these people that go about talking about how we dispossessed them of their lands,were actually the ones that came running to south-easterners,begging for money in exchange for those lands,in other to solve their pressing needs. Tommorrow they would finish the money,and when they(especially the sons of the man,who sold the land years ago) look at the land that once belonged to them,they become filled with hatred for the south-easterners,they feel like you duped them,even though you bought the land at a fair price,they easily forget how the money accrued from the sale of the land solved their problems then,and that nobody but the igboman would have been able to pay them such amount for their land.

Before you know it,all of them will team up,and start chanting anti-igbo songs,and talk about how the igboman is trying to colonize them,and the need to reclaim their ancestral lands from the igboman,who stole it from them. Yet anytime anyone of them have a pressing problem,he would be begging a south-easterner to buy his land cos he knows that the igboman will buy it at a fair price.

I find this very very comical I mean, just because you bought a land does not mean it is your forever. Hmmmm I think we have repeated this over and over and over again. Nigeria does not have agencies that renew leased lands that is why I think you all are facing this problem of understanding

Prof Corruption: Laughable.

very laughable, too many semi-illiterate in Nigeria

SMH
These Ibo people sha and there useless conclusions very tribalsitic set of humans. Ok that is your aunty right ? Let me tell you mine.

An Aunty of mine is yet to collect hers from September last year and this is making it the 6th month. We have written letters, begged etc to no avial

She is a Lagosian indigenous yoruba woman. BTW

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^While Port Harcourt has a large Igbo presence, i actually used those examples to tell him that Yorubas also leave the south west for economic reasons....he was trying to make it look like it's just Igbos that leave their place and can be found in other regions.[/quote]Just like Yorubas leave the SW for Kwara and Kogi which is geographically North but ethnically Yorubas

Mentioning Warri makes it sound like it is ethnically non-Yoruba

I don't even know what to say

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^What studies/data are you relying on to posit that there are more Igbos in Ibadan and Ogun than there are Yorubas in Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Bonny and Warri? Igbos are industrious and go where there's an opening for business; they are the ethnic group -more than any other in Nigeria- that are putting their money (and some may argue- lives) where their mouth is regarding this 'one Nigeria' project.

If Nigeria were to disintergrate tomorrow, each ethnic group would have their destiny in their hands and would not be held down or have their future tied to or determined by hateful bastards like you.....this would open up loads of new economic opportunities and frontiers for all (Ndigbo inclusive) in their respective regions; you would see confederations (or countries) like Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Igboland (or Biafra), Delta, Benue, etc, being able to use their own resources like Oil/Gas, Agriculture, Tourism, Sea/River Ports, International Airports, Sporting Prowess, Academics, Commercial/Industrial ingenuity, etc.....they would be able to use these resources primarily for their own benefit and as they please without waiting for instructions from Abuja; they would be able to attract FDIs better because they would be better able to manage issues like terrorism and armed robbery better (armed robbery being the resultant effect of a non-inclusive and poor economy, would then reduce to the barest minimum like we had it b/4 the civil war).

So if you think a disintergrated Nigeria would work against Igbo interests, think again mate! Of course there would be teething problems at first what with issues of investments in other regions, but this would be a nationwide issue not peculiar to Igbos alone and an agreement would be reached by all parties involved for an amicable seperation.[/quote]These are not igbo territories though

Allah help us

It is not easy. Lagos is soooooo hot yet ideeiots would say Power supply is improving

PointB: GEJ should build and deliver the second niger bridge and (re)commission a fully functional Enugu International Airport plus provide electricity. Then we can start talking about his 2015 ambition. He's done pretty better than all the presidents before him though in every respect. FACT!

maybe you think nigeria is alaigbo. GEJ would have no rest if he builds second niger bridge without the trains working

dayokanu: Biancar just came to grace Peter Obis bed

When would they make their affair official?

APGA was never alive to start with

lol

agbotaen: 1. yes accuse me of playing second fiddle , but you igbos always believe you are the best , but you are borrowing kingship from edo and yoruba cultures , or which time igbo get king as every bustop in igbo land now has an igwe .all igbo films have kings and queens , i some times laught at these , please accept say igbos borrow kingship from others .
2. did any body force ojukwu to declare war ? the answer is no , i dont want to talk about ojukwu , because he was a great man but he made many mistakes and the war was one of them.
3. igbos please also blame your self and stop blaming others and stop crying all the time .
4. ika was a great culture that succeeded in preserving culture and that is why the agbor stool is one of the most ancient and well respected all over the world, ,
5. to show how igbos like copy cat, most of their so called queens or igwes wives have started wearing edo style beads on their necks and bodies , and at the end they will lie that it is their culture .
6. nigeria is wiser now , as every body has the right to declare their ethnicity , there was a time when they called isoko people uhrobo ,but that has changed now as isoko is different from uhrobo,
formerly some called esan benin but now ishan is ishamn, while benin is benin.
so if some people formerly called ika igbo , right now ika is ika while igbo be igbo .
there was also a time when ika was called benin and later ika became ika while benin became benin.
7. most of the people called igbo today were not called so some `150 years ago and so if they feel confortable being igbo that is good , but for ika people we are not confortable being called igbo , because we dont have same ideology or culture .
8. if igbos like they can attack yoruba from lagos to kaduna but that will not take away the greatness of the yorubas in nigeria .

you captured everything Alj harem stands for.

oyb: abeg leave sisi - she is just a hyperactive feminist
i hope she doesn't think i am defending her because i want erm 'intimate sonthin'

lynpetra on the other hand is the true naija babe - see her dismissing the guy as a smelly stalker - ' i don't know the guy o, he is just oe chewing gum boy that keeps disturbing me, he cannot see that he is not in my class'

LOL it is good as they are talking, most young men never learn until it happens to them. Likes of 190 have learnt time ago an that is why they talk they way they talk

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]I hope you don't mind if I waited for another guy....Another somebody, anybody to state what you just did so I can respond to them. I wouldn't want to be seen responding to you when everyone knows....you know.

Yes, yes the irony of responding to you to tell you I won't be responding to you isn't lost on me but I figure doing it once shouldn't count, right. [/quote]My sister, it is fine.

@ Nigerian sensible young men, Please and Please listen to the voice of reasoning and don't trap yourselves with Nigerian Ladies. Not all of them are bad but majority of them have a very wrong orientation about how to relate with men or should I say people.

If you are young, please don't fall inlove because women HATE MEN that love them, the more horrible you are, the more they love you. It is not a theory, hypothesis, fact but A LAW. This law work especially with Nigerian ladies.

Focus on your life, get yourself comfortable, settle down and watch hungry Nigerian women flock to you like honey bees on a flower.

Not that you should not have a girl but PLEASE don't attach any touch of emotion or commitment to it as it is not worth it. When you have your money and YOU are ready to either settle down and play around, they are ever ready.

Remember there are more Women than men in Nigeria in a ratio of 2:1. Don't rush anything and even if she is just a friend, try your best to keep her as a friend. They are hustlers as well just like you.

oyb:

you beat me to it

My brother just read what likes of lynpetra and sisi kill are saying and you would get an idea of how a typical Nigerian lady think. They think sex is a currency we men want all the time.

Tinyemeka: I have says it and I will always says it; never sail your soul to any Niggerian girls, especially dark-skeinned eeegbo girls. No oofieense.
Maybe light-skeins ones, no?

Face your studies, graduate and secure a job that pays twice her current wage. There are several of such. Chick needs a reality check.

By the ways, how was you clemming to to hellping her gets a job? Are you a guvnors? Naughty student!

Gbammm The OP was a learner and now he as graduated. He is going to learn from his mistakes now.

Nigerian women are not worth the time and effort, try and secure your life first before helping any Nigerian lady. Emphasis on Nigerian ladies so he knows the difference.

Nigerian WOMEN, SEX IS NOT A CURRENCY IN EXCHANGE FOR FAVOUR. Just be yourselves and stop being ingrates and hungry.
