Godsonjoe: You Never answered my questions? you mean that nizooeria is original name given by our ancestors? foolishness in highest order... Even if! And suddenly, biafra chose to go, allow them to.... I don't why everyone is afraid of biafra when mentioned
You are always proud to brandish the name Biafra, who gave you the name and what does it mean?
Whenever you are ready for Biafra, the whole world will know and not all the noise
SoNature: I don't know the number of times I have to correct people here, but I will keep trying my best.
The border closure is NOT a policy but a happenstance..more like a flash in the pan.
It's even more annoying that Buhari didn't close the borders to encourage local farmers to grow and make money out of their businesses.
Buhari shut down the borders because of smuggling. He believes that many people are bringing things into the country through the land borders without paying the necessary custom duties.
Please the two scenarios are not the same.
While we like the positive effect, the positive effect on Nigeria was NOT the intent. Well, that's because the positive thing that happened as a result was NEVER planned, so the border will be reopened in January.
Let this sink in, please; let's stop making assumptions.
Udyawanga: Non sense. In a country where imported rice as before is now cheaper than the one made in Nigeria, while as before the reverse was d case. Who do we offend in this country. If local rice as before is cheaper while sudden upsurge in term of price? As for me let the boarder be re opened where by common man can buy rice. Afterall economics said no country is self sufficient. Non sense govt policy that benefit few.
Tell us your location, how much is a bag of 50kg bag of foreign and local rice, give us the name or brand so that Nairalanders around can investigate?
thesicilian: Trust Nigerians, they are very myopic. They'll never see the truth from afar until it hits them in the face and send them into unconsciousness. Watch as they'll all attack you now, calling you all sorts of names for trying to enlighten them a bit.
You know smugglers and those who support them from their post
Nyamiri: Buy better Naija rice, not the one wey dem no comot the stone properly.
So, your own destiny is to eat smuggled food? The seaport is open and people are still importing rice. Why don't you buy from them? Na the one wey them carry pass bush you sabi chop.
The foreign rice you see around now, they are local rice which people are putting in foreign sacks and selling to people like you as foreign rice.
Oversabi and over sense will not kee you, you just said everything, your parents born better pikin and you get enough oil for brain
Nowenuse: Because I know you are lying. You cannot even spell Borno well, you spelt it BORNU. Which person cannot even spell his state well?
Why will you be denying your ethnic group just because you want to troll on nairaland? Why have we the youths of today gone so mentally low because of things like this?
I am a proud Plateau man and I have never hidden it since I joined nairaland in 2013. My threads are there to show. So if you think I am denying my identity, hence enough reason for you to deny yours, then you are just very shallow.
You can be a Chinese Buddhist for all I care and it matters nothing to me.
gidgiddy: Yeah Kanu "talked". What an incredible crime Kanu committed in a country where Boko haram, Killer herdsmen, Niger Delta Militants and even politicians are all armed and murdering people.
Yeah Kanu "talked"
You are a criminal just for saying it and also when you commit it.
Go to your Facebook page and say you want to petrol bomb somewhere in the US and see what happens especially if you're in the US
Nowenuse: I am a middlebelter from Plateau state and I guess you are Yoruba. I want to ask you why you Yorubas are seriously against the Igbo desire for self determination?
Are you people enjoying this one Nigeria with so much retrogression and terrorism from the core-north?
I used to be pro Nigeria, but now I am strongly pro secessionist. Many middlebelt people are gradually favoring the idea of secession and dissolution of Nigeria and people like us will heavily mobilize our people to this effect in the nearest future.
Why is it that you Yorubas are not interested in self determination?
Nowenuse: There is secession in Ethiopian constitution. In Ethiopia, every ethnic group has its own region and a great degree of autonomy with secession included. Eriterea was just a very different case. Their secession was based on colonial history and not even ethnicity and they were taking all of the access to sea Ethiopia had.
Go read up the Ethiopian constitution, they have referendum on having autonomous regions but not on secession from the country, I know you're basing your argument on what happened recently
PrecisionFx: ""Just few weeks ago, Thailand deputy president came to Nigeria and pleaded with our government to open borders so and to make rice come in..""
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam yesterday begged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to appeal to the Federal Government to allow its country import rice to Nigeria at discounted rates. The Deputy Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vuong Dinh Hue, made the appeal in Abuja when he led a five-man delegation to meet the Adams Oshiomshole-led
GENEGIRIA: who is begging who? you need to get your head examined asap, for excessive inhalation of generator fumes Ghana is drawing Nigeria's attention to the fact that closing the border was in contravention of existing ecowas laws. how did that become "begging". in any case, nigerians started the begging game when it sent a high-powered dlegation to Accra to beg Ghana when shops belonging to nigerians were closed in aAccra months ago [s][/s]
....you've been bringing it to our notice and we've been telling you all to go to hell but you insist begging everyday because there's nothing you can do to us.
Can you give us the date the high powered delegation visited Accra to beg you, before or after the border closure? Where were you when all those leeching ECOWAS countries including Ghana were contravening same ECOWAS laws earlier, ECOWAS is Nigeria and WE MUST DICTATE to you guys and not the other way round
gidgiddy: You think America is backwards Nigeria where people get killed just for talking?
To be honest, Nnamdi never actually solicited guns in America to fight the Nigerian state. What Nnamdi Kanu said in America is the Igbo people need guns and bullets to defend themselves from Northern elements, such as Boko haram and herdsmen, who are killing people . Nnamdi Kanu made it clear that the guns and bullets he was asking for was for self defense, which is allowed in local and international law.
The video of Kanu asking for guns is below, show me where he said it was to fight Nigeria? He clearly said it was for self defense
Who are you trying to deceive? Definitely not me. Same Kanu that called for burning down of the zoo, killing of any Yoruba or Hausa who ask after IPOB, bringing back the head of the president etc, don't you know that those statements are criminal in nature and he can be charged for it? You think crime is crime when it has been acted upon, you don't know that saying it alone is a crime as well
gidgiddy: This is same as criminal incitement. That's not what I'm talking about. If a person asks around for a gun to rob a bank, if he never got the gun and never robbed the bank, the act of asking around for a gun cannot be incitement or solicitation. It would require being inside the persons head to prove intent
Can you just keep quiet, he's been trying to school you on what you don't even understand and you're still making noise. You asking for arms in public is a crime already inrespective if you got it or not and if there are witnesses that testify that you said you wanted to rob a bank with it, another crime.
I've told you before that you telling someone "I'll kee you" can land you in jail even when you really didn't mean what you were saying, that's called threat to life and a crime in our law
LZAA: Oga xavi and pique played for spain yet are still pro catalan Pep still wears his yellow ribbon to support catalonia Oga stop posting lies here Infact i doubt u are igbo at all The particular ojukwu interview was done in Washington and is still on youtube Btw biafra was never an ojukwu declaration ALL igbos wanted to leave nigeria and told ojukwu so
Give us a link to the video and I doubt if you're Igbo too
UdechiHD: Show me the interview where he supported the call for Biafra or remain silent. MASSOB propaganda is not needed here. I hope you know that the same Ojukwu contested for Presidential election in 2003? He didn't end there, he welcomed all Presidential aspirants to his Enugu home, Buhari, Yar'adua, Atiku etc. The same Ojukwu even endorsed Jonathan for Presidency in 2011.
Over sense will not kee you, oil full your brain and all nuts intact.
Bishop4real: That's how he turns logic upside down for his morons to believe. Was the arms he solicited in US to be used in US? didn't he clearly state that he's using same in the "zoo"? You can bear arms in US but not in the zoo. So, the zoo laws, not US laws were applied. Simple
....so you can publicly solicit for arms in America and publicly announce that you want to destroy America with the arms and the CIA would be clapping for you?
gidgiddy: Do you know that when you say my that anyone who calls for armed struggle should be dealt with, you are actually saying that people should be dealt with for 'talking'. We should be dealing with people on what they do, not what they say.
Nnamdi Kanu and his group were never armed and didn't kill anyone. But you want them to be treated on the same level as those who are armed and killing people because of spoken words? That's crazy
You keep lying to yourself and expecting it to become the truth, go ask a 1st year law student to explain to you what you just posted
gidgiddy: Nigeria is supposed to follow the law. The law does not work based on prediction, it works based on facts. To say that you wont fold your arms and watch another terrorist group emerge is to criminalise Kanu and his group based on future predictions. That's is wrong.
That means that the security forces can arrest you tomorrow and deal with you because they predict you might become an armed robber in the future
