This is exactly what fela said, trouble dey sleep yanga go wake am. The people of SE have been oppressed, occupied and terrorised by both the military, police and their politicians. You will not allow them to be part of Nigeria yet you will not allow them carry their wahala go. Am not an ipob apologist but residing in SS let me understand the oppression this people were facing. If I have a job to do in IMO from PHC naso I go dey feel bad because a 45min journey will take you 2/3 hours because of checkpoints. Ehen you oppressed and occupied a peaceful region you must be ready for the consequences. This is a story of life and most injus know that whenever you price, you must pay if not immediately but later. Its life for you

Some people are even happy that a part of Nigeria, they call their country, the SE, is rocked by violence.
There is no Ghanaian or Ivorien or Mauritanian who can be happy that a part of his country is being wrecked by violence.
Nigeria's situation goes to explain why Nigeria is not one country.

Hotfreeze:
This one said fire for fire. Go and ask why your fathers left Lagos and ran off like dogs during the war. You slaves and losers are too small to square up to the better South. You and your coming generations are mere dot and will keep running about in the circle.

If you don't know that the money for the 3RS to rehabilitate the SE was diverted to urban development of Lagos after the Nigeria/Biafra war, and that's why more easterners moved down to Lagos, go and ask your fathers the salient question.

Above all, so long as you sign on to continued existence of one Nigeria, every Nigerian has right to live anywhere in Nigeria, including Lagos, and even buy your dad's tomb to erect a house.

Kingspin:
Who is after the poor masses and big men from the South East?
There have been numerous attacks against them.

Parasites of one Nigeria are behind the ruckus in the east.
Igbos valued life as sacrosanct before Islamists expanded their violence to the east.
Earlier, they boasted that they would make Igbo land worse than Borno state of Boko Haram.

ribbit:
e concern me because when foreign media wants to report news like this, they make it look like entire Nigeria is not safe not knowing it's only a part of the country that has embraced hate and make a living out of it.

Any investor thinking of going to Nigeria to invest will be having a second thought.

Foreign media reports?
Foreign media hardly reported the tens of thousands of deaths caused by Boko Haram and bandits in the north all these years.
Now that Islamists expanded violence to the east, do you expect foreign media to report the violence in the east?
How many foreign media reported the Owo Church massacre by Islamists?

tolue42:
Ipob on the beat again... Obi what do you have to say

Like asking Asiwaju Tinubu about Yoruba Nation agitators, abi?
Or asking Atiku about violence by mongers of Arewa to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

Your campaign style is dead on arrival, can only make sense to fools.

sammirano:
Well, you havent lead even chickens in your entire Life so you wouldnt know the requirements of a Leader.

Someone who has memory loss from Parkinsonism can NEVER be a good leader, he cannot even lead zombies to good.

Edopesin:
Easy for her to say from the abroad, what exactly has she done for the cause? We are taking the movement offline, the real voters are in the streets not on Twitter blowing grammars, the real voters don't speak the queens English

All over the world, the social media first prepares the minds of voters on ground.
It's like you still stick to the old system where ethno-religious bigotry guides the minds of Nigeria's voters?

Aisha Yesufu understands very well what she is doing.

sammirano:
Are zombies getting crazier? Tinubu didnt lie when he saud that. Shey ori Yin pe?

Are you not the real zombie for supporting to become president of Nigeria, an aged, sickly and most corrupt bullion van Tinubu who gave up drug trafficking business money to the US government in exchange for non getting prosecuted by US government?

complexBoss12:
I will like to say this because I have read alot of signs and they point the same direction...

"Tinubu will not be in the ballot by 2023"

You can take that to the bank. I don't know what will happen yet.

In bold. Bola Tinubu may not be in the ballot, if
WISDOM finally comes to Tinubu to step down for younger and more qualified Peter Obi, if truly Tinubu wants the south to get the presidency.
Tinubu earlier told the north that it's the turn of the south to produce a successor to President Buhari.
That Tinubu helped Buhari become president is no reason for presidency to be Tinubu's turn after PMB.

Newton2024:
https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/09/11/when-will-adamu-sanction-tinubu/amp/

The punishment for Tinubu has been handed down through making Tinubu to be a mere standby presidential candidate Shettima, the Boko Haram sympathizer to become president immediately after APC wins the presidential election, assuming that any miracle makes Tinubu win.

abbey621:
It's funny how someone like you that is less than 40 years old is quoting stories from your grandfather or great grandfather. Whether you accept it or not, the fact remains that the civil war would not have happened if Balewa was not murdered and Azikiwe did not respond in a nonchalant manner. Yes, to the core Northerner, the life of a cow is worth more than a hundred Easterners, not to talk of the life of one of their leaders, the sooner you know this, the sooner you'll understand the type of people you're dealing with, kamikaze(suicidal) fighters have nothing to lose.

In bold.
So why would any reasonable persons support one Nigeria where for the Fulani, the lives of a cow is worth more than the lives of hundred Eastern Nigerians?

etrouble:
You will cry blood. Just two hours into the election, you all will start crying blood because the direction of voting will show clearly that Tinubu is far ahead of other clowns

Blood is already gushing out of your eyes and nose as you read how Arewa is preparing to vote Atiku.
Tinubu thought it's his turn by merely helping Buhari to become president. Where on earth is Tinubu's belief a reason to choose a president for a country?

Ohh..
They will vote Tinubu.
Tinubu's urchinss think the next presidential election in Nigeria is a contest between Tinubu/Yoruba and Obi/Igbo.
They don't understand that they are poised on having Atiku become president of Nigeria after PMB.

PROUDIGBO:
I’d go further to posit that they shat (past tense of shit) on the Nigerian constitution when they adopted sharia! But then they ‘own’ Nigeria and are free to do whatever TF they want!

They own Nigeria through the political structure of having 19 states in the old Northern region, with more representatives constutuencies, whereas, they left only 17 states with lesser number of representative constituencies in the old two southern regions that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region.
A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 out of the 36 states of Nigeria created by northern soldiers, before the candidate can be proclaimed winner of Nigeria's presidential election.
It's hard for any presidential candidate from any part of the south to win Nigeria's presidential election, if northern region supports a northern presidential candidate.
Obasanjo and GEJ's presidency were mere aberrations.
Abiola's election took place before Abacha further created his own states that finally distorted Nigeria's political structure.

hisgrace090:
She has done her bit.

We must learn to call evil evil to avoid being the next victim.

They can condemn anyone who condemns Hitler; provided the situation will help their Tinubu to win presidential election.

Ask Sanusi Lamido Sanusi about their Area Boys politics in Nigeria.

Hobbiton:
Lol! Go and learn history my friend. Stop listening to Biafran radio, where your Linus father's have taken over reason!

Learn history not twistory!!!!

Pants on fire.
Northern military dictators on Armoured Personnel Carriers supervised the 1999 Constitution.
Civilians, including Prof Ben Nwabueze, who drafted the Constitution had their hands tied. The military dictators dictated the main contents of the Constitution.
It was a Constitution designed to legitimize the political structure and governance system rigged by the northern military dictators to favour the old northern region, at the economic and political disadvantage of the old two southern regions.

nigeriancritic1:
Is she aware of the World Order and other International societies.
That nothing will happen to U.K. a founding member of United Nations.

She needs a different strategy.

Why then did the UK support:
creation of the State of Israel;
separation of Pakistan from India;
separation of East Timor from Indonesia;
but refused separation of agitating nations from unworkable Nigeria?

babyfaceafrica:
He won't win and nothing will happen

You will quench if he does not win.
Nigeria invented Federal Character Principle a d enshrined it in the Constitution to enable Nigeria's diverse groups to participate in the country's political process, including holding apex political power.
Rotation of the presidency between the larger and founding ethnic groups in Nigeria has been the formula since Obasanjo profited from Rotation. If not, nothing could have prevented northern region to support another northerner to succeed Abdulsalami Abubakar in 1999.
Tinubu and Atiku want to upstage rotation because of their selfish interest.

Totilopussylick:
People from that region don't have shame in their dictionary

The other region has an old and sickly drug trafficking money keeper as its leading presidential candidate, while the other region has an old man who as VP bribed a US Senator now serving jail term for receiveing the bribery, as leading presidential candidate.
Nigeria we hail thee.

Iykoto86:
They tried ,obviously they failed as a country.We stand tall no matter what.

Wow. No matter what?
The matter that Nigeria is today a country harboring the largest number of poor and hungry people in the world, as well as one of the most terrorised countries in the world blighted by Islamists, don't worry you?
You must be living in Mars, with your belief, like the Buharis of Islamic Sharia states, that crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta are the only things that can sustain a country.
Rest of the advanced world is shifting from use of crude oil to sustainable energy sources.

PROUDIGBO:
Brilliant summations!

Fact of the matter is, what we have as ‘one Nigeria’ today is an unfair and evil set-up….blatant cheating against the entire south who were TWO regions, as against the norths’ one, when they were all going to Lancaster House to agree on the formation and structure Nigeria would take! At the very least, i can concede things should be done on a 50-50 basis between the south and north…as it was when we were amalgamated in 1914, even though it’s the south that’s been economically sustaining the union ever since!

The polity as structured today gives an unfair advantage to the muslim core north, and it seems it’s only the Igbo (south-east specifically) that are doing something about it! You can tell their agitation is making the hegemonic muslim north nervous because they have gone on to spill innocent blood as a consequence and unjustifiably tagged the main agitating group (IPOB) as terrorists!

The next group showing some semblance of doing something is the Akintoye/Igboho led Yoruba secession group. Though there’s has been less threatening to the Fulani hegemony as they’ve so far limited their operations to blowing grammar! The only time it looked like they were actually engaging in mass mobilisation of support for their cause, the hegemony panicked and sent the murderous Nigerian army after them…resulting in a number of deaths and Igboho escaping to save his life! They’ve remained relatively quiet and harmless ever since!

Bola Tinubu is among the few Yoruba who understand that this new Nigeria's political structure and governance system created by Arewa soldiers is a huge fraud.
Before 2014, Tinubu crisscrossed the SW region asking for political restructuring of Nigeria democratically.
Nearly every governor from the SE before 2014 called for political restructuring of Nigeria democratically.
Buhari became president, Arewa politicians began to say that they don't understand what political restructuring is all about.
The outcome of the 2023 presidential election shall determine if the fraudulent political structure and governance system will stay, or rearranged.

Alawode01:
,why not quit now, now is best time if they really mean it,this best time to pull out.

Yoruba Nation is all about Yoruba quitting Nigeria. Today, there may be more Yorubas agitating for Yoruba Nation, than Igbos agitating for restoration of Biafra, mind you.

Does Buhari understand:
Nigeria has been suffering from not letting Biafra be, but Great Britain is not;

Nigeria's suffering multiplied since Buhari's northern sharia states urinated on Nigeria's Constitution and adopted Sharia criminal laws?

yahmohy27:
NO WAY, YOU CAN ONLY LEAVE THE COUNTRY FOR US TO LIVE IN PEACE.
AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

Don't hope on what is not in your territory for survival.
Leave other people's territory alone. Born parasite. British army is not coming to support you again in Nigeria to wreck the territory of others in Nigeria, if evil people like you provoke a 2nd civil war in Nigeria.

Alawode01:
,so it's Nigerians that's agitating for another country within Nigeria.

Nearly every country in the world today emerged from a mother country.
So what is wrong in Biafra agitation to quit Nigeria?

monfizzy:
Those Afonjas blaming Uju Anya must now bury their heads in shame now that the Daura President has admitted that the Quin indeed got involve in Igbo genocide

Those Yoruba blaming Uju Anya were merely dancing to the gallery of the northerners to support Tinubu's presidential bid.
Will they also blame people condemning Hitler for the Holocaust?

backtovillage:
Since she is no longer providing her back let's scatter everything and rearrage it as it was.

In bold.
Apt.
Rearranging Nigeria to its political structure and governance system it had when Queen Elizabeth and Britain granted independence to Nigeria in 1960 - that's the only thing to save Nigeria.
Otherwise, Arewa which refuses political restructuring but adopted Sharia criminal laws, is marking time, waiting for crude oil and gas deposits in the south to be exhausted, before Nigeria breaks into more manageable countries.

Alawode01:
Those who called for war will continue bear the consequences,till further notice.

Oh yes, Nigeria called for war, attacked Biafra first.
Nigeria is suffering the consequences of not allowing Biafra to exist.
Do the Maths, if you can.

hammer567:
STORY FOR THE gods, LET US SEE WHETHER DEAD ELIZABETH WILL SAVE NIGERIA IN 2023.

BUHARI WANT TO PEPPER IGBOS BUT WILL END UP DISINTEGRATING NIGERIA.


ONCE WE LEAVE, FULANI IMMIGRANT WILL FIGHT HAUSA, YORUBA AND MINORITY TRIBES IN THE NORTH FOR THEIR LAND.


BRITAIN WILL SUPPORT THEM AND IF GOD LIVES, MUSLIM TERRORIST WILL SURELY TAKE UK FROM THE ENGLISH.

RISHI SUNAK WAS JUST TESTING THE GROUND.

Lol.
If Muslims take over Great Britain, as you apparently wish, it's gain gain for the Buharis of far northern Nigeria.
Far north Nigeria is gunning for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
Far north Nigeria wants one Nigeria to continue to exist at any cost because of lucre in the south.

Racoon:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/queen-elizabeth-backed-nigeria-during-biafran-war-buhari/%3famp

But the Nigeria of 3 regions with parliamentary system of government which Britain supported Buhari and his federal forces between 1967-1970 to remain one, is not the same as Nigeria of today.
After the Biafra war, military dictators from Buhari's northern region created excess number of 19 states and corresponding number of representative constutuencies in the old Northern region, but created a meagre number of 17 states and lesser number of representative constituencies in the old 2 southern regions.
State creation tilted political power balance to favour the northern region.
Again, 12 of the far north states unilaterally adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system which sparked off Boko Haram and bandits fighting for a Nigeria Islamic Republic to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

Today, if Biafra or any southern Secessionist group wants independence from Nigeria, Britain has no reason to support unity for Nigeria.

Trynaija:
Nsukka deserves more, for me nothing special here...

Oh yes,
Anyway, Enugu state, the state which once had only Enugu as a modern city, is adding Nsukka as 2nd due to gov Ugwuanyi from Nsukka zone..

In Imo, the present governor who comes from Orlu zone has indirectly paralysed or closed the city of Orlu since March 2020.. In Orlu: Stadium is closed, fire service station closed, markets closed, even the city roads built by former governors are closed. The governor has been enjoying the situation.
