I hope I am right

@ op and Dave 'davenick' Ozoalor
There are a lot more

--- His soilders ra.ped and killed Midwesterners

--- He invaded the western Nigeria trying to annexe what is not his

DRANOEL:
ojukwu was probably the dullest military strategist ever!

the man declared the seceding of biafra with emotions and without plan. he knew not what he was up against. arrogance and the general belief of superiority of igbos blinded his eyes to the fact that fantasies are not the same as reality

sums it up

afam4eva:
Akpabio deserves all the accolades he's been getting. His works are there for everyone to see.

When last have you been to Akwa Ibom ?

aurenflani:
OMG! THIS IS D REASON WHY D ELITE CREATED ALL THESE MEND, BOKOHARAM, OPC ETC. NO WONDER WE IN D NORTH HAVE BEEN RENDERED COMATOSE BY ENSURING WE DO NOT GET D QUALITY EDUCATION AND QUALITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOTH PRIMARY & SECONDARY SO DAT WE REMAIN PERPETUALLY HALF BRED IN TERMS OF EDUCATION AND EXPOSURE - AND D DEVILISH OF ALL D ISLAMIC KNOWLEDGE WE ARE GETTING TO LEAD US MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY NAIRA MALLAMS & D ELITE CREATING DISCORD AND DISUNITY THEREBY RESULTING IN SUCH REACTIONARY GROUPS SUCH AS BOKO HARAM ETC. HOW VULGAR OF U D ELITE!

+ 1000

that is why southerners look at northerners liek theives forgeting that it is the elites not the masses.

If you notice the comments here, they would say Northerners rather than northern elites

sheyguy:
@Alj harem, thanks so much. These Yoruba-hating-IDs keep showing up everywhere. . . .but don't forget in the west, the level of hate u command is anoda way of guaging ur success.

You have to understand the Igboman psych, I understand these people and how they operate.

If you read history very well, you would notice how they have always try to undermine the yorubas.

I am not going to go into details just know that Willywilly etc are Igbos

Likes of Killyut is kalabari,

Once you see the way he post 2 -5 times you can tell which ethnic group he is from.

Ngodigha1:
Let the Igbos be. Ijaws attack you, you hit the Igbos. This is total madness. Anyway, think of the problems ravaging yorubaland instead of Igbo this and that everyday. e.g this.

you must think we are daf.t as you people. OR MAYBE YOU THINK YORUBAS AND IGBOS ARE THE SAME

We are not materialistic

We cherish heritage and culture and are not tribalistic

We are not war-like, neither do we look for trouble and claim other peoples land as ours

We don't claim ethnic groups, we don't say Ijaws are yoruba or nupes are yorubas etc.

We don't think Cocoa, crude oil, bitumens is the end of the world, Good governance is the key irrespective of ethnicity.

The OP is another Igbo ideeiot claiming Ijaw. Just like willy willy, ibrahimdoc, etc

Ngodigha1:
Shameless monkey, I do not bash Hausas but only bigoted Yorubas like you. I am no other person than ngodigha or ngodigha1. I give you bigots nightmares.

And that is why even if likes of me decide to respect Igbos, there is no point because you don't respect yourself neither do you respect Yorubas

You schooled in Ibadan for donkey years,

You went to London through Lagos

Ojukwu schooled in Lagos etc You bloody Ingrates then come here like cowards and talk trash about how bad yorubaland is

Yet you all claim 90 % of the land. Ideeiotic goats. If you ask them to go back to Enugu etc, they would claim we hate them.

I am Awori and my land has Oil, Alihamduhili, Glory be to God

But I would not fight my fellow Human being or call them parasites because of Oil

Vanity upon vanity, All is vanity. Lagos would go down one day, what legacy have we Aworis aka Yorubas left ?

Yes we are not tribalistic, we have Igbos in our cabinet.

We put effort to make the place as conducive for Igbos as we can do if though they call us dirty and all sort of derogatory names.

Lagos when I was born (Badagry) is not the same Lagos now. But we are not complaining because we see One Nigeria infact leave with our Igbos neighbours because we don't know which is Igbo or not. Only for us to come here and you insult us.

EzeUche:
No Igbos are found on that list. Our hands are clean.

The next time people try to scapegoat the Ndigbo, they should look to their own leaders as the reason for their misery.

sharrap dia, so because no Igbo is found in the list means they are not embezzeling money ?

Is their any Yoruba or the list ?

Is their any Ijaw on the list. Yet we know their are people stealing from those ethnic groups

abeg it is not about ethnicity but about NIGERIA ELITES

Ngodigha1:
The are not same. It is an insult to becomerich to see him as Alh Harem. Becomerich can never engage himself in this level of bigotry. Becomerich is a well respected nairalander.

your stu.pidity is well known andre

You call yourself Ndigbo Youth leader and yet you sign in as Ngodigha just to bash yoruba and hausa people.

You must be stu.pid

Just because likes of me are quite while you display your stu.pdity does not me we would accept rubbish from you.

Ideeiotic goat.

If you Igbos think you can take yoruba gentle nature for stup, idity, well think again. goats

Ngodigha1:
I do not know why Ijaws hate Yorubas so much.

[size=13pt]Mumu that is why I have told the yorubas to stop replying to Igbo nyamaria people.

you people claim a lot[/size]


In the next 30 years, our language will suffer if nothing is done – Comrade Evah
On November 2, 2011 · In Features
BY EBELE ORAKPO
IT is true that what we sometimes call civilisation is nothing but destruction. Take a people’s language, for instance; it is part of their identity and so societies that have lost their native tongue have inadvertently lost part of their identity.
To prevent this from happening to the Ijaw people and their language, Comrade Joseph Evah, the Co-ordinator, Ijaw Monitoring Group and Publicity Secretary, Ijaw National Congress, INC, spoke with Vanguard Features on the forthcoming biennial convention of the National Association of Izon Female Students and what they hope to achieve.

SPEAKING on the forthcoming convention, Comrade Joseph Evah said: “We are organising the fourth biennial convention of the National Association of Izon Female Students. We are Ijaws and we felt that we have to mobilise our women because they are very powerful and again, because of modernity, we have inter-tribal marriages and there is need for us to make our daughters appreciate where they come from.
“As men, the advantage is that we are not going anywhere, even if we move; we know very well that we have no other home than our homeland. Not so for women who move because of marriage and when they move, how do we make them appreciate where they come from?” He noted that unlike the Yoruba and Hausa languages which are structured to survive over time, the Ijaw language is not structured that way.

Structured languages
[b]“The Yorubas because of their advancement in education, right from the time of Bishop Ajayi Crowther, even before the 21st Century, have structured themselves so that their language survives. The Hausa-Fulani because of Islam, also structured their language to survive.
Now, our own language is dying because we are not yet advanced like the Yorubas who structured their language in a way that it becomes an alternative to the English Language.
Said Evah: “They register and we engage them like the National Youth Service Corps idea. Every December, we ask everybody to come home and we carry out de-worming programme in the villages. The conventions are mainly outside our region because we want people to travel and see the difference and see why other people prosper.
For example, they are coming to Lagos for this convention. Why are the Yorubas sophisticated? Why are they more advanced than other parts of the country? We will tell them.
We will visit some local government areas where local government chairmen in Yoruba land are paying bursary to students of their area unlike in our own area where such a thing does not happen. No local government chairman in our own Niger-Delta area stays in the council. We ask them: ‘do you want to remain like this?’

Students’mindset
They stay in hotels because the governors allow it. Council money is shared to party leaders. You can’t see that in Yoruba land and you see the prosperity in the area and we ask them, ‘do you want this type of thing for your children’s children?’
So we move to council areas where the council chairmen are working, where local government chairmen were removed from office for not working. In our area, local government chairmen and commissioners operate from hotels for two – three years.
Appreciate the Ijaw language, don’t let it die in your household.
We that are going to permanently stay in our homeland, we have no option than to follow the culture the tradition and the language.”
In conclusion, Evah said: “We are afraid of the unknown and because of that, we decided to organise this forum to gather our daughters and make them to appreciate their roots. They are free to marry from anywhere in the world but remember where they come from. That is the purpose of the convention.”[/b]

Beaf:
Just understand when looking at those pics that you are seeing real gold. I keep saying the richest man in the World is not Bill Gates, but a Nigerian.
In the midst of such oppulence we find almajiri's and boko haram.

Yes you are right, the richest men in the world are Nigerian elites

Start from Northern governors to their southern counterparts

From borno former governor to Lagos state former governor

From Kano former governor to Delta former governor

Alams, El-rufia, GEJ, OBJ, IBB, Ibori etc you name them

[quote author=Willy+willy link=topic=880414.msg10285316#msg10285316 date=1330358315]i can be anything, but thank God i will never be Yoruba, God forbid[/quote] , well I can be yoruba because they are defiantly smarter than you. Atleast if they pick an ethnicity, they make sure they understand the ideology, language and costumes of the ethnici group they pick unlike ideeiots like you and your fellow Igbo goons that jsut pick without studying.

they blend it well

Aturu

I urge all Northerners our future as a group of people to call for the separation of this Nation and demand accountability from these people.

Kano collected 100 million Naira from CBN 3 weeks ago or so. That money has not benefited an average man on the street.

I HATE the idea of parasitism and following Bello's policies, we should have never been in the situation.

It is time to wake up.

Why do you think the leaders keep building Aljmajiri schools and send THEIR own children Abroad to get the best education while the ones at home are begging and doing Boko haram.

If we don't hold our future now, NO ONE WOULD DO IT FOR US even if we find Gold deposite in large quanities.

One Nigeria.  

Nope 5 Nigeria

1. the east including south-south minus edo and part of delta

2. west, edo, kwara, part of delta and part of kogi

3. The middle belt minus part of Niger

4. The north including even parts of Niger state.

5. Izon republic, part of delta, balysa and part of rivers

13volts:
True facts but with lots of exaggeration

those so called governors, ACF leaders, Sultan, emir Shehu etc have all looted us. It is time we open our eyes not for us but for our children.

The former governor of Borno worsen the situation and increased poverty.

In fact the country should split so we can each region can handle their leaders they way they want to.

[size=13pt]I have told you Yorubas that these people are Igbo NYAMRIA people

watch your reply and study the person you are replying to

example is the one below, always forming new IDs like Willywilly, Ibrahimdoc etc claim northerner, westerner and South-souther even Urhobo and edo

[quote author=sam(obo) link=topic=880414.msg10284668#msg10284668 date=1330353894]@sheguy,

please if you don't know what to say,just ignore the op, by the way,am from Awkaibom, and i school if OAU ile ife.i understand where is the OP is coming from.before i came to the west for the first time.i always had this believe [b]that the west was like london,[/b]was this and that.but schooling in ife have given me a the opportunity to explore the SW and also a better view of what the SW is.for real the south west is dead.like the op said,the only city they have is lagos .the rest are dirty,filthy and empty.thanks to the non indigenes that are doing business here in ife.All the big boutiques,spear part store,cosmetic store and other commercial activities are dominated by the igbos.if you come to largere and mayfair which is the heart of ile ife you will think you are in the eastern part of the country.

talk of infrastructure,light here is dead,no good house all the houses are ancient,dirty and ugly.all you see on the streets are Unclad mad people walk on the streets.the only place that is ok in ile ife is OAU quarters which is like a GRA and owned by the university where all most of the university staff live.infact without the university,if is a village cos it is the university that drives town itself. ilesha ede,owo,ikirun,gbongan, they are all villages(local settlements).oshogbo as a state capital is nothing to write home about.i was disappointed when i first when there.so dirty and wreathed.

i don't know much about Ibadan cos i have not gone inside the city like that but i know Ibadan has some nice places but it is no better than cities in the eastern part like portharcourt,owerri,calabar,enugu,asaba or even benin.


what annoys me most is that is the way they brag and tend to tell us that we come to there place because our places are villages and that is annoying.infact i and some ibo friends of mine have once argue with some yoruba folks when we where doing pre-degree in OAU and it almost led to a fight.

the only thing the SW has more than any region is the concentration of universities.(OAU,IBADAN,UNILAG,UNIILORIN) and that is all.most of what they have are federal institutions than any other region.that is why they were crying during the subsidy time cos they are used to being fed(Lazy parasite that cant cater for themselves without the federal government).

well that is their business anyway.they are quick to notice ones unclothedness but refuse to see that they are not just Unclad but also phuck and smelling and my understanding of their problem is that they don't go out and that is their biggest problem which has made them myopic.they believe Lagos is the beginning and ending of Nigeria.that is why they will be the biggest loser if Nigeria breaks up cos Lagos will loose its mega city status and cities like portharcourt,uyo and calabar and the rest with seaport will catch up cos i know the igbos will fluck there to do business.[/quote]LOL I another silly Igbo on the lose claiming Awka Ibom

No be you be this

you claim the itsekiri are yoruba but denial that the ikwerres,opobos,igankes are igbos, what an hypocrite??

sheyguy:
I find it hard to believe that this thread was opened by an Ijaw person, because if we were to examine the most Ijaw dominated state which is bayelsa state, what we would discover will be just as shocking, if not more, than that of Osun state. I know of communities in Delta that suffer these thing too. What the OP failed to tell us is the context of what he claimed he witnessed.

dayokanu:
Imagine an Ijaw person talking

Someone said Bayelsa got itsfirst Petrol station during Alamiyeiseigha regime

[size=14pt]you iddeeiots shut just stop talking like una lack sense

THE OP IS ANOTHER IGBO

They change ID because of inferiority complex just like Ejeri, Willy willy, Ibrahamdoc, Metal goon etc claiming anything else aport from Igbo. They are all Igbos, it is time to starting using your senses[/size]

Dear Mr.Seun,

Good morning and a very happy Sunday to you. I don't know hot to put this thoughts and suggestions of mine into words, but I would try to put it down as it is in my mind. To be honest with you Sir, I have been to Many Forums, and I tell you, the nairaland forum graphics of now is far better to any other forum I have ever seen around. Please do not be carried away by any suggestion of anybody to change the graphics and background of this our belove Nairaland Graphics and Background. It is what other forum owners envied and wished they had first. Like I have seen the new suggested background and graphics posted up there, can't be compared to this graphics. Please leave your nairaland the way it is. Do not change it, you can change the way you place advert, but don't change this nairaland graphics for your own good and for the enjoyment of every user on NL. I personally love Nairaland this way, till many years to come. Just a suggestion, not saying you should take it, but think very well so your site does not loose much traffic with such great displeasure in the new graphics. This is everyone's home, intlly and locally. Thank you sir.

Gbammmmmm

I hope Seun listens

good !!!

Ngodigha1:
First class monkey, Ikemba died in a country where people with HIV last very long. If he had HIV, surely he would still be alive till now.
Don't be shy, feel free to discuss what happened to Awo before he breathed last.

Nope , He had Aids since and couple with his old age, he died out of shame.

Awo died with toothbrush in his mouth in the morning. Thus it was clearly a heartattack

Ojukwu died by going skinny all of a sudden (AIDS) and could not talk then died. Why do you think someone would go skinny suddenly

AIDS can kill a person in a range of 1 month-10 years. Depending on his health, food wise and thinking(blood pressure)

Why did Igbo leaders not visit him in London ? Yep the shame

success4:
This is the reason I love Yoruba, we don't celebrate mediocrity. When someone from
our tribe misbehave we castigate regardless of whom he is, I feel other tribe should
emulate this. With that, Nigeria can move forward. I could see Igbos and Hausas bashing
OBJ now without problem.

When it is other tribes turn, no one should say this is Igbos or Hausas thread, we all
are Nigerians, and when we unite together, we will easily chase away our bad leaders
irrespective of their tribe.

Pa OBJ, you are reaping what you sowed!

+ 10000

Very well said. Some people think they can praise OBJ and thus yorubas are with them. No way

Do your Job and reduce poverty, then Yorubas would be with you. There is no Magomago

Ngodigha1:
Monkey, Ojukwu died in the U.K and everyone knows the cause of his death. His x-rays and scans are there for you to see and examine.
But mrs Awolowo, should release the container of the box which awo drank before going to bed.
Your help is required niggi.

Na wa oooo

How does someone all of a suddenly go dumb and go skinny at age 79

you only go skinny if someone a terminal illness and Ohaneze has not told us the cause of his death

HIV is likely because those are the sign.

Go do some research monkey

Ngodigha1:
I do not know why you lots shy away from talking about the circumstances that led to his disgraceful death. Is it a taboo in Yorubaland to discuss of people who drank poison and died.

Tell us how Ojukwu died of HIV

shame, na Bianca give am or what Andre ?

Poster you forgot to add the following

-- Oil pipes should be shut down since Igboland produces 95 % of the oil
-- Lagos commercial and indeed the country should be shut down since Igbos constitute 70 % of Nigeria
-- Banks should be closed since Igbos own at lest 70% of all the banks and money in them
-- Nollywood should release a movie of about Ojukwu since he led 4 million Nigerians to their death
-- Nigeria should make a shrine of Ojukwu since Igbos are the best and the whole country envy them
-- Port harcourt,Lagos, Abuja, Kano should be shut down since igbos are at least 45 % of each state.
-- Facebood should be shutdown for a day since 50 % of facebook users are igbos
-- The new 5000 Naira note should be issued by the CBN asap with Ojukwu's face on it since he was the greatest man and Igbos are the only group that use money in Nigeria.

Kc3000:
^^^^^never mind the nwa mmuo, they'll conveniently forget all the Yorubas that were involved with the coup. In fact, Victor Banjo was indicted in the same coup, and jailed like the rest of the participants. Sure, he claimed he was innocent,. . . except no one, not even his own mother believed him. He was a Lt.Col, highest ranking of all the participants, so I don't think any one ordered him to do anything he didn't want to do.
   Ademoyega, a Yoruba actor in the coup plot, has let everyone know, and has been corroborated by others, that they had a goal to put Awolowo in power. Sure sounds like an Igbo agenda!

Victor Banjo in coup and also in Ojukwu biafra amry to invade the west

I thought Ironsi killed the Coup plotters chai .

Ademoyega for where was that why Ojukwu put a bullet through their brains because they are not Igbos ?

Andre Uweh:
^^^Because you joined nairaland less than two years ago.

I have followed Ibime's post and I am yet to see where I he writes in Igbo and I am not talking of words but phrases.

Andre Uweh:
^^But there are some easterners who do speak Igbo yet they are not Igbo. So many Okrikans and Kalabaris are not Igbo but speaks Igbo. Ibime a famous nairalander speaks and writes Igbo yet he is not Igbo.

LOL I wonder where Ibime had written in Igbo
chai !!!!
