. . . and which running mate picked himself? Like Tinubu wanted to pick himself? Or like Ekwueme, Atiku, and GEJ picked themselves?
I don't want to call you name, I'll reserve it for tomorrow.

Eko Ile:
We saw the outcome after Yoruba military men took over the war and quickly spanked you and your warlord who took off running and you end up surrendering to a Yoruba man.

So what is "Pastor" Bakare doing licking Buhari's a/s/s?
And he is a so called pastor! He couldn't resist his people's tradition of worshiping aboki.

@alhajrem, Back to sender. @ezeuche, its like you were still in your fathers scrotum when the civil war was going on, did you recalled that the biafras troops were actually having the upper hand in the early stages of the war, they invaded the mid western region and headed for Lagos but it was AWOLOWO who stepped in with the Miracle idea that Wore the Hell out of the easterners. Was the North not pressing from two sides when biafra invaded the mid western region, ever heard of the word "OLEKU IJA ORE" as for the literacy level, please kindly do a research on the total number of students in schools in both the western and eastern region and you will know the reason why no YORUBA state was listed among the "EDUCATIONALLY LESS DEVELOPED STATES IN NIGERIA, AND I WHICH YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A EASTERN STATE THERE"as for industrialization, the whole industries in the eastern and northern region is not up to what is obtained at the Ikeja industrial estate. And mind you we are the controller of the Best Barrack in Nigeria. We have the largest iron ore deposits in Nigeria and with the Oshogbo Steel Rolling Mills, weapons for the total Annihilation of the invaders will not be hard to get. Dont forget also that OGUN state has more Higher institutions than the Whole eastern region put together when you are measuring your level of literacy.

Can you blame some people if they are trying to feel important? The real cash cows of Nigeria are the ones people die to stay under the same nationality with. Clearly some places won't be missed as much as the rest.

[size=28pt]Alj harem again. People wake up. You're being played.[/size]

Alj harem has one agenda, which is to act like the devil (rub our egos the wrong way), to setup confrontational situations
so everybody starts arguing. He has to destroy any sign of an alliance being built amongst Southerners, read his postings.

This is what the British did initially, "divide and rule" or "divide and conquer", when they left, The Northerners stepped in.
They understand how it works.

Northerners are scared. If you had just a desert or arid terrain, wouldn't you be scared.

Southerners have more power than they understand, nobody has to be poor or hungry. Its time to use our brains, damnnnn!

You can lead a horse to a stream but you can't force it to drink! Wake TF up!

ShangoThor again. People wake up. You are been played here

alj harem:
@ 1

which hausas are voilating igbos, do they not have succsivly business in kaduna and kano without anybody touching them

also do you know that we northerners are at the disadvange aby allowing the igbos to trade and depriving our fellow northern brothers

@ 2

thrash,.,. pure thrash

@ 3

correct, as you can see on nairaland but they are getting better hopefully i mean Jahman (igbo on NL) was shouting on how he got a 1st class and his yoruba friend got a 2.1 but this yoruba friend,.,. calling the company ethnocentric because they employed a yoruba man before him

@ 4

that is one of the most stu.pid statement i have ever seen on nairaland,.,.,.,. is it not the same women and children (willy willy) that is happy that northerner and beroms are dying,.,.,.,

is it not the so called women(parents) that are telling there children how evil and dirty yorubas are,.,.lol,.,. i dey laff oh

moreover if they want yorubas to love them, they have to love yorubas back,.,.love is reciprocal here

you can not say igbos own lagos and expect an average yoruba man or woman to love and respect igbos,.,. immpossible

you can not insult A GREAT LEADER LIKE AWOLOWO calling him a devil and comparing him to hitler and expect to be loved or respected in yorubas eyes,., fact

in yorubaland, AFTER GOD HIMSELF, the next is oduadua, then oromiyan, then AWOLOWO fact!!!

@ 5

that's a lie,.,.,yorubas must and must ,.,. i repeat must contiune to look at igbos as they see themselves

was it not the so called ZIK of africa that told us northerners not to secede instead he betrayed his co-southern brother (awolowo) to be imprisoned,.,., i dey laff

was it not the god of igbo land OJUKWU who si still respected today that left igbos to die while he ran away with million of brafra pounds,.,.,. i dey laffoooo

@ 6

if you do not contiune, what are you going to do

please just stop been silly,., ok

ezeagu:
First of all don't even mention Brazil, because, yes it does have a large population that claim Yoruba ancestry or embrace Yoruba culture, but if that was the measure, then Brazil would have to support Portugal, Italy, Japan, Spain, Angola, Congo and even the DRC in everything they do. Brazil has Africans, but their not in control unfortunately.

Again, I didn't know this fact that Yoruba people have the highest literacy rate and are the most industrialised, if this is fact then you will provide me with sources.

And the final part I hop you're not talking about the Benin Republic when you claim countries that will support the Yoruba in war. In fact, what are these countries? Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Haiti and even France to a certain extent supported Biafra, and still, look how that turned out.

No offence, but you couldn't annihilate people fighting you on your own land (for decades), but you'll some how find an army to decimate a people who faced actual world powers for two years? I'll like to see the outcome.

seanet03:
@obiagui, if the East try to support the NORTH against the West, then expect the Total Decimation of The Eastern Region, west is the most difficult region to engage in any fight. Did you know why the first and third republic collapse like a pack of cards? You dare not support the north to its annihilation.

Obiagu1:
I like my Anambra.
Let a good Igala man from Anambra come rule us sef, who cares as long as he delivers?

This clan thing go kill us one day.

ezeagu:
First of all, this thread is just an excuse to insult Igbo people and Igbo men in particular, if your people can't keep up with him, it's better you work harder because you will not get paid for envy.

Second of all, did the "Igbo woman or child" call you to come and save them? It's better you leave the "Igbo man" on his path of "self-destruction", because it's obviously working for him and I can't remember any of them asking you to hold their hand. As if Yoruba people aren't being killed.

And oh yes, what a silly thread.

seanet03:
The fact is we YORUBAS hold the key to unlock this mystery called Nigeria! We are the only Tribe that can Single handedly Break away from this Country without the North nor the East daring to Launch any military attack no matter how they about it. We will soon break away. Just a matter of time.

Freewilly:
That's right EzeUche please come and tell us what you'll be doing, because nairaland propaganda is not going to cut it this time. We need strong courageous men and women to lead this revolution.

udezue:
I hope the police man was roasted to death inside the bank. Thumbs up to the people who took matters in their own hands.

Abagworo:
"Mr I better pass you" when did it start being Igbo or Ibo?You cannot force everyone to spell the way you prefer.It is so wrong.

@bolded.I never claimed anywhere that it is the appropriate Roman form but I said we write Igbo using Roman letters instead of using Nsibidi.As a result we cannot force everyone to accept a particular spelling unless we are writing in Igbo.A typical example is Awka.Tell me if Awka,Okah or Oka is the correct spelling of the Anambra capital.


Awka-Oka-Umudiawka-Umudioka are all correct

lelouchan:
Okay from what I see, the correct term is Igbo! very good to know.

Abagworo:
That is the major reason why Nigerians want him.Many of these Politicians will die by firing squad.

Abagworo:
@beaf.You sound so much like a motor park tout.Always try to use logic in arguments and not unnecessary aggression.

The major characteristics of a weakling is indecision.Your Oga is from ND and knows the problems,why can't he just correct it or at least initiate a process towards that?He is actually my blood relative(surprised?).If I were him I would weaken the central Government and quit contesting this election.The key to survival of Nigeria is true federalism.

Lagosboy:
They would have my vote, Nigeria needs God fearing men to rule the country. Buhari we all accept is upright, Bakare is a pastor who has been vocal and shown uprightness in his criticism of the status quo.  They should have my vote, ACN should go bury their head in shame for not been able to compromise and unite the opposition.

My only fear is that , it is only an alliance that could win this election from PDP.

Beaf:
You are the only cow on NL that doesn't know Gbawe is an ACN boy and Tinubu is his oga. Every single word he says on NL is for the benefit of ACN and Tinubu.
Dude, go back to running after goats. Whats the name of that your village again?

Beaf:
It is easy to spread rumours and slander people you do not know. What is your basis for saying Aganga is dishonest? It is a pretty serious claim to make. I would expect any person with the slightest modicum of decency to thoroughly back their words up, not just pluck gutter words to disparage another mans character from thin air.

By the way, what attracted your Tinubu to the drug trade and why do you not pick on his criminality? Is it that you customarily apply double standards? How can any Tinubu supporter condemn the current govt? Based on what?

johnjoel:
alj harem you be world wide mumu onugwu like you,if you no you be ibo man or woman make una no vote for good bad luck jonathan,he won fool ndigbo, make una shine eyes wella wella, that man na crisis

Jah Man:
Omg!

You just made my day!

You da best, Alhaji.   .  .   how was Jumu'ah? Did you pray for me?

Anyway, you've spoken the truth and nothing can change that!
Are you a sadist or what?What is funny about tribalism?

Jah Bless,

Can you tell me why a Diamond Bank owned by an Igbo man employs 80% Igbos?

GO to any Diamond Bank Hall in Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta and see how Ngozis, Emeka, and Chinyere dominate in a SWestern state.

Logic would have had it that People from the particular area would demographically dominate employment in the region.

I have several guys who complain that in the Oil industry tribalism is very prevalent.

From your claims, I also know a Yoruba guy who made a first class and couldnt succeed at Tests and Interviews while Yoruba guys who had 2-1 and 2-2 from the same school got the jobs based on merit
I could have ignored this post if you didn't mention a name of a bank. I happened to have serious insiders in the said bank.Truth is that the yorubas have taken over the bank due to Igbo liberalization.Diamond Bank has an Executive Director(ED) dat's a yoruba,and current info shows they are bringing a second yoruba as an ED.Please let me know how many Igbos are EDs not a ceremonial NED is FCMB,Skye,and/or GTB.
Last time I visited their Owerri branch,I was attended to by one 'Leke" a yoruba guy as head of operations.
To put it the way my guy said it,"Go to our outlook name search and type 'Ade' and u'll be surprised at the number of staff".The same goes for 'Olu' , 'Ola' , 'Akin' , etc.However,it was funny to me the way he said it,but that's what Nigeria should look like.

For those asking a hire b/w Yale and Maryland,I guess you forgot that the experiences I had was in Nigeria,with no university rankings as obtainable in the US/UK and also we are talking about entry level hires.

Let me tell us this story I got from my professor way back in the univ about tribalism:

, When my professor was in UNIJOS as a young lecturer he got scholarship to travel abroad for his post graduate studies.He was invited for a dinner by a senior colleague/christian from the north before he finally leaves the country.As an ex-biafran soldier and a typical Igbo man he was not comfortable eating in 'Hausa man's house'.When the food was served and the couple stepped out a bit he peeped into their rooms and it was sparkling clean( I also witnessed for myself while serving in Gombe that most northerners are clean people).But his bias made him to cut off a large chunk of d food and wrapped it.When his host came back they felt he enjoyed his meal and afterwards bade him farewell.
While he was at overseas,the whites will desert any seat in a bus or train he or his fellow black people were sitting down,even inside the church.Being a minister's son,he will console himself with bible.The height of it was on a sunday service,he was enjoying himself in the Lord alongside an African sister who was already speaking in tongues.He overheard the whites talking to themselves, "so they can speak in tongues?,will they also go to heaven?" He got upset at that comment and went to see the pastor who told him that he's really sorry,but that 'they' whites feel that 'we' blacks stink.My professor said he replied the pastor, "Actually it's you whites that stinks,but I've been enduring it since we are brethren".Ofcourse the pastor opened his mouth in surprise.While my professor was alone in his room,the Holy Spirit asked him, "Are you offended at the way they treated you?These are whites treating you black like that,what about your black brother from the same country that you treated like a leper before coming over here?" My professor started crying and from that day his attitude towards other tribes changed.

God will help "all of us" to know that "Whatever you sow,you shall reap"Galatians 6:7

and igbos have not taken over lagos due to there yoruba libiration

bros what are you taking about

Diligence:
Yoruba Ngabtis shld forget abt governance for at least another 32 years - they hv ruined the economy enof - courtesy of obj - looting wtout thot of tomorrow.

Ride on Ada Igbo!

Truth hurts, but fools will never learn!

The article is right on the failures of Igbo politicians to see the vision Ojukwu was trying to create from 1999 till APGA was formed.

However, only one man is responsible for APGA's failures at the polls - Olusegun Obasanjo!

He rigged out APGA and imposed PDP thieves on Igboland.

Secondly, the entire process that produced current political scene was designed by him. Even the North could not stop him imposing a sick Yar adua as president.

So, if we are talking about CURRENT IGBO POLITICIANS BEING !DIOTIC by not joining APGA en-masse and making it a nationally relevant party; then, yes I would agree.

Peter Obi is only one man, and he is operating as he pleases in APGA because no one is challenging his leadership yet.


If anyone wants to blame someone for current Igbo political position in Nigeria, look no further than Otta farms!
