bashr4: your blabbing we have dealt with this over and over again funny enough its only NL yorubas like you that want to claim they are not igbos , no single ikwerre or rivers man on nairaland have denied even ijaws on nairaland dont deny it yet your jelousy and hatred for anything east wont let you mind your buisness. saro wiwa ,adaka boro and even present day rivers groups keep mentioning it yet shame no gree you mind your buisness. you need mental check up really.
i am not talking about igbos really, i do not care about igbos that much but yes i do care about other NIGERIANS and IGBO NIGERIANS
so telling me to mind my business about igbo matters., yes i would do but other nigerians no
alex101: The yorubas don't really like the northerners, heck they never like annybody, but because they fear the northerners, that is why they chicken out anytime they see the hausa/fulani. Their people are killed in the north, but they act like it's only Igbo that are affected, and they never ask why because of the fear they have for their hausa/fulani masters. SICKNESS!
wrong thus it shows u do not live up north, that aside
EzeUche: You would think all the minorities would have supported Biafra, because they were being massacred alongside Igbos.
I already mentioned how my mother's family was forced to flee Lagos for England, even though they were not Igbo.
but they were asked not to leave samething they did in 1993, same 1999
bashr4: i dont deal with links i deal with real life , but we can also start posting links both from their sons,govt,missionaries,church,neighbouring ethinicities like ijaw and ogoni,NDDC,politicians like omehia , elders past adminstrators and even your very own abokis and obasanjo(not faceless internet warriors that could be you) , you cant change who they are.
about 4 months ago i was in port harcourt and i am telling u the reality but u are choosing to deny
bashr4: ode you didnt see where sarowiwa even mention that his local govt tai and eleme are hybrid of igbo ijaw and ogoni which me myself didnt even know. i thought tai and eleme where only ogoni , i dey laugh ooo, anyways old rivers state was bayelsa and rivers and ijaws where majority then but since bayelsa was created the igbos are now the majority in rivers with over 12 local govt out of the 23 lga. 4 others are hybrids and minorities in bayelsa state . https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-700671.96.html
i have links to prove otherwise but i would not derail the thread
bashr4: i agree awo gave us tribalism even gowan was shocked that awo will come up with an idea to take all the money belonging to igbos , he is nothing but a common thief
what money because the currency was changed so they had no money at the first place
Bliss4Lyfe: Total nonsense!! Even in Bayalsa State Igbiod comes into it. With regards to Rivers State, the land mass is occupied by the Igbos and the Ijaws are coastal dealers on the water fronts. Do the maths.
PLEASE I BEG YOU SAY THIS IN BALYSEA OR RIVERS STATE
PLEASE BIKO do it
the only igboid group in rivers is ikwerri and they are not claiming igbo, until proven otherwise
Bliss4Lyfe: Ignorance is bliss but in your own case let me educate u. The Rivers State we are talking about in Ken Saro Wiwa dayz is no longer in existence because the Ijaws have now been given their own state Bayalsa. so your link is just out of point. As Igbos are the main group in present rivers with ijaw settlers on our coastal front.
very ignorant statment
why not leave london and tell a rivers man that rivers state is majority no minority igbo and see if u do not get burnt alive
what ijaw settlers, they are indigenes of the state, igbos are the settlers here
jason123: He went back to his NEIGHBOURS (Igbos are closer to him than the Yorubas geographically) to [b]NEGOTIATE
. You must understand that at that time, it was like Ojukwu wanted to FORCEFULLY include them in Biafra WITHOUT their permission. Hence, he took the "anti-Igbo" stance. [/b]
But hate Igbo?? I really doubt it. If Hausas should forcefully include, let's say, Tiv in Arewa without negotiations. The Tivs will have the same stance Saro did.i am sure they would understand that, won't they ??
Ystranger: There is nothing really wrong with experimental drugs. Some of the most astonishing medical miracles have been performed with experimental drugs.
But the way Pfizer went about it is the issue. very unprofessional and unethical. We cant really blame pfizer that much, IMO. We need to blame our leaders. They let us down big time. very unfortunate.
but his false allegation against them is uncalled for. yes this people are very corrupt and I do not like them but saying the north and yorubas own oil blocks in ogoniland is a way of undermining the ogoni people and it is wrong. he needs to grow up
alex101: Buyahayaya! Good for all these dumb minoroties of the old eastern region. Imagine saro wiwa saying he struck friendship with the likes of danjuma, obj, akinranade, sani bello when he visited the war front. Today, these names that are yoruba and hausa/fulni own the oil blocks in his ogoni land. I have no pity for this man or any of these minorities,,,,may their land continue to be pillaged and be polluted, nonsense! saro wiwa (name written in lower case on purpose), remain in hell!
dude, they own no oil block in OGONILAND. this is the Ocean and not land
henry101: His death is regrettable, Didnt He beg the Igbos later? He attended one of the Igbo functions and pleaded the igbo should support his cause for the Ogoni people. That was the famous talk of "good morning" by Ojukwu, I dnt knw if I am right about this.
Umu oma please watch Nneka in her new music video (July 2011) singing about the Niger Delta especially Isaac Boro and kan Saro Wiwa,
[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=716662.msg8750313#msg8750313 date=1311128549]Hey, no need to indulge in their stupidity bruh. The direct flights have taken away from their revenue in Lagos so things just keep getting worse for them. Once the Enugu airport gos fully international their airport will collapse. Come see revenue(big ego) in Igboland. [/quote]i just want to find out what is wrong with easterners developing calabar or port harcourt
henry101: Now was it proven that Awo was corrupt or not in the reference you posted? I didnt want to turn this thread to a Zik vs Awo thread but Eko ile in his usual rascal and toutist adedibuist character derailed this thread. If anyone was tried and found guilty, then He's culpable to the crime he committed. If Awo had felt he was not guilty then show me where He appealed. Awo had the best for the west, which was better but Zik had the best for Nigeria which was the best wrt the black movement and the cry for African independence. People can argue about their philosophy and their life style which is also a good discourse but turning it to a tribal cyber warfare like Eko Igbe has done is crazy and uncalled for.
henry101: Just shut the hell up, Should I bring up the countless threads you with your other IDs and your other confused tribalist, Jason, have been putting up about the Igbo? You spend so much time on every Igbo thread and also trying to put up your dirty antics on a P-square thread you created. You are so evil. As for Seun and whoever his deputy is, have repeatedly failed to do the right thing. NL politics is the number one hate site in the world after youtube.
so priasing p square makes me evil and a tribalist
henry101: The collaboration of other parts of Nigeria would be understandable, seeing that by 1964, the Eastern region was already touted as the fastest growing economy in the world by research reports commissioned by the World Bank and by Harvard University in the United States.
The Eastern Nigerian Economic reconstruction plan (1954-1964) - the ten year plan - drawn by the visionary Zik, and the eminently brilliant Mbonu Ojike, the most acute economic mind of that generation of argonauts, and later fully implemented by the inimitable Michael Okpara, had placed the East on a development route, [b]that by the 1960s all the talk of "Igbo domination" was merely a metaphor of the progress in the East.
The institutions like the African Continental Bank, Eastern Nigerian Development Corporation, University of Nigeria , Nigercem, Nigergas, Nigersteel, Factory,glass industries, hotels, farm settlements, Aba Textile company, Golden Guinea Breweries in Umuahia, Standard Shoe Factory in Owerri, Industrial which is still in existence and in good use today, etc. The products and services of these institutions and businesses were first class. Thus, people had full employment. With the economy growing annually at between 10 and 12%, the Eastern Nigerian economy was one of the fastest growing worldwide.
The Eastern Nigerian government was the pacesetter in development and the regional governments in the West and the North responded almost like copycats. For instance, when the University of Nigeria was established in 1960 with campuses at Nsukka and Calabar, the Akintola government responded in 1962 by building the University of Ife now named Obafemi Awolowo University and the Northern Regional government replied by building Ahmadu Bello University at Zaria. Also when Zik built the African Continental Bank to help in the formation of indigenous capital and the empowerment of our people who could not obtain bank facilities from the foreign owned banks of those years, Awolowo quickly built the National Bank and the Sardauna established Bank of the North. When Okpara employed the services of the Israelis to build Nigeria's first farm settlements, the Western Nigerian government quickly followed suit.
Now you can see it all,
much better, NOW HOW MANY OF THOSE COMPANIES STILL EXIST or are used in nigeria today?
henry101: yeah when you dont want to read and understand what the content says then you are a fool, you act like an eediottt all day, digging up stoppoid threads and making fun of Igbo people, Gowon, muritala, and your demi-gods put together tried in the past with guns and bombs but they didnt succeed. What makes you think you can? I know you and know exactly what you do. You live a stoopooid fake life. You ungrateful son of a mallam, I am waiting for the next igbo topic, if you dnt you will choke and have nightmares about Igbo, You slow tribalist,
I read it and understood the content before i replied you and that is why i said HOW IS IT RELEVANT TO ZIK ACHIEVEMENT WE STILL FEEL IN NIGERIA TODAY? thanks
