The largely Christian
Ibos were envied as one of
Africa’s best-educated and most
industrious peoples, possessed of
much of Nigeria’s oil wealth.

Nuff said.

Oh yes they are

AND IT IS OFFICIAL!
30 PAGES IN JUST TWO DAYS!!!
And the haters wey dey fool themselves here blindly posting futile childish swipes dey think say dem dey score point?
I dey laugh them no be small!

Biko Ojukwu our lion. For one thing, I'm glad he lived to see his past reactions vindicated by the current pogroms and injustice.

From Awolowo getting rigged out to shame, to Saro-Wiwa getting framed up and killed by the same Northerners he so much worshipped, to Abiola getting imprisoned and gangraped in his cell by the same Northerners, to the entire Ijaws at Odi getting massacred, to the complete and total humiliation of Diya, to the destruction and rappeee of the Beroms in Jos by the Fulanis, to the marginalization of the Niger Deltans on their OWN oil. . .

The man saw it all and tried to change it. To me, he did the best a 33 year-old Colonel could do in the face of a sudden dangerous upheaval. So, it's up to us Nigerians now to either face the truth about this British fraud country, or carry on in our blindness, and ultimately suffer a fate worse than Saro-Wiwa's.

Honestly, me sef don tire for this kind country.
Country wey dey call imself Federal Republic of Nigeria, yet na glorified Feudalism e dey practice.
Country wey pretend say na economic capitalism e dey practice, yet, when it comes to federal allocation im begin dey practice Socialism immediately.
Country wey the ruling party dey answer People's Democratic Party, but when you win party primaries (Araraume), a rotund kleptomaniac (Obasanjo) go come from nowhere to say "Bros, your candidacy get small K-Leg", and instantly, dem go now carry that same candidacy give to a guy wey finish LAST PLACE with 30 votes (Ugwu).
A country where the so called 'progressive' party itself dey practice caveman politics (as seen with Tinubu's imposition process), yet people really dey fool themselves by thinking this party is any different from the PDP they hate so much.
Mehn, I'm tired of defending this fraudulent unity. Biko dissolve the whole thing jor!

@Francis - You suppose sabi say all those people delivering all those eulogies, are doing it with the hopes of getting 'magic numbers' (the 98% vote magic from SE) come 2015.
I wouldn't take those jobbers seriously, especially the Northern governors.

Bia, this Mark should kindly shut the hell up. Who no sabi say this thing wey im dey talk na just to get the Igbo vote come 2015? Hopeless dreamer.

Mehn, 21 solid pages in just one day!
Remember I said the thread would reach 30. By tomorrow, im go don clock 30 for sure.
Once again, rest in peace, Ikemba!
Dead or alive, you were, and will always be, a don.

For upon even OsunDefender (Gbawe's club), lies a Tribune (Beaf's mace).
I love this! Battle of the 'politically-sponsored newspapers'

May he rip and no offence, but
why did he keep going against
his father's wishes?

I'm guessing he opposed his father's plans because he didn't want to keep living under his shadow for the rest of his life. This rebellious nature is pretty common with people whose parents/relatives are famous or heavily minted. Angelina Jolie (actually Angelina Voight) and Nicholas Cage (actually Nicholas Coppola) easily come to mind. These people are rather eager to make names for themselves instead of being passed of as just being lucky for where they came from. I think Ojukwu developed that ideological urge to make his own mark instead of being known as "that completely forgettable richkid who just lives off his popsie's billions".
That's my angle.

They're going to Benin Republic

Nchara:

Can anyone remind the ignorant op whom APGA (Ojukwu's party) voted for in the election?

Hey Nchara, you got your ID back!
Looooong time.

df2006:


this just show the glaring ignorance of the writer, austin oniwon is from, kogi state, north central

LOL. No bro. You don't understand. He also listed Allison-Madueke who, if I'm correct, is from the South-East. The writer's being metaphorical here.


And thanks a million, Tsiya.

With the benefit of hindsight,
and considering the current and
increasingly violent fractious
situation of Nigeria, who can
blame him? I feel in fact that the
Ikemba, as Ojukwu’s title is
called, is now wholly vindicated.

Now, this is a true Yoruba son wey breastfeed belle-full; not all these shameless depraved tribalists wey just dey deceive themselves for NL with the lies and propaganda fed to them by the same leaders who are happily looting their things, impoverishing them and ultimately mortgaging their future. You have spoken well, dear Akin. God bless you.

Please, someone should help me copy and paste the full article over here. I'm currently using a phone, so character limit no go gree.
Trust me, you'll love this write-up on Clark and President Jonathan. Epic perspective!

But the question is, do you agree with the writer?

In that case, nothing for the North once again.

Gbawe and his epistles sha. I'm willing to bet this dude has, like, 90 fingers or something.

WaltherPPK:

bluetooth, you are becoming very unruly, for the last time go back to your cage, or I will have to sell you to an ondo or calabar man.

LOLOL! 'the hell did that come from?

This thread will reach 30 Pages

R.I.P. Sir!!!
If the story's true, that is.

If that is the case, then the Lagos State Government should seize the properties of the Lagos State Government, because the Lagos State Government has been housing the criminal Tinubu, ever since the ascension of Fashola as the leader of the Lagos State Government.

Andre Uweh:

Bia this naughty boy, it seems my appeal did not get to you. Please concentrate on the this thread or start another thread to sort out what is eating you deep. Is there any other way to display stupidity than what you are doing here. Biko, kwanyere onwe gi ugwu nwokem.

And who be this stray camel hypocrite wey dey preach Jack-Timothy to me? If you've lost fragments of your grey matter, I suggest you retrace your steps and go pick them up. And for your information, Ban Ki Moon, O bu kwesiri i kpachara onwe gi ugwu, maka na afughi'm otu ifea siri gbasa gi. So, do me a favor: Take this lopsided goodwill sermon of yours, and shove it right up your royal asss.

Thank you.

chino11:


Nwannem biko tell the born boy. . I almost jump out of my skin at his rage. The truth is better than bitterleaf. Dalu kwanu. IGBO BU IGBO.

Ewuuuooo! Now wey you don suddenly repent, after you don recieve severe dose of your own medicine? All the way from 'Imo people are this and that' to 'Igbo bu Igbo'? Chaaai! LMFAO! Tell me, are you not a loser?

I guess you thought you were good at insulting people, not knowing you're just a mere hairless pig afterall
I think I'm done engaging spineless losers like you, can't through shiit to save their lives

Remember this image, Chino?

Chei! Mehn, if this is what it takes to be a '1st Class Igbo' like this Chino swine, then I think I'll gladly pass.

And in keeping true to my troublesome internet persona, I'm going to go a step further in exposing this Chino animal for the clueless little child he is

Oh, Chino, are you so quick to forget the events of July 06 2011, when Ezeagu, EzeUche and Abagworo took turns humiliating you to the full glare of NairaLand?
When you were left helpless and torn to shreds on this thread?
nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-336779.320.html

^^
Jobless fellow, you are so angry
with your life that you can't bear
my perception of you and your
people. Well[b] your people are
cheap and mere good for bed[/b],
just like we dey screw them up
here with the trick 'mama anyi
si'. We don't want imo LovePeddler as
wives. Too bad take your
'ogogoro' and go to bed. With
the way you are being drained
with bitterness tonight I wish you
don't commit suicide due to
frustration and denial. . You are
too young to die bro. 2nd class
Igbos. Sorry bro but its the fact,
do your research

LMFAO! I dey laugh ooo! Hold on, am I supposed to feel offended about this your childish attempt at an insult? I bet you still haven't even realized how stupiid you look with this one. And guess what? I just called my Nnewi-born friends into the room to join me in reading your wack comments, and you won't realize how hard they've been laughing at your skull-shattering idiocy! Ewuuooo! I hate to break it to you pal, but the joke is actually on you. I mean, who doesn't know Imo is the richest state in the South-East, followed by Abia?
Who doesn't know Imo has the literacy rate in Nigeria? It's all over the net, Mr Man, and these are real figures. So it is you who needs to kick the dust off your lazy buttt, crack open a research book, and exercise your dull brain

And as for your other juvenile wretched comment about knacking girls and all that crap? I won't even dignify that with a rebuttal, because the statement itself only stands to testify and underscore your crude stupiidity

And we are talking about
almajiris up north, not knowing
that we have Igbo almajiris. I left
my office and got home you are
still sitting in a cafe punching
your life out of your fingers. I
pity you and your poverty
stricken family, as a fellow
Igboman I can offer to
rehabilitate you. Or why not join
the Amnesty program of FG
instead wasting away in your
fathers house. I bet you are
jobless and needs help, come
out clean so that you will attract
one.

Same way we're talking about miserable stark illiterates like Chris Uba, not knowing we have the impoverished bottom-feeding version aimlessly lurking around the internet to peddle his numerous futile lies no-one wants to buy. I can see why you feel I'm in a cybercafe, cuz that's the only medium of computer access that populates your backward home. But just to indulge you irredeemable idiocy, I'm actually using a mobile phone, which means I can post from wherever I want while still engaging in my numerous daily affairs. Too bad we can't say the same for an idle rural swine like yourself who only comes on the net to pour out the frustrations surrounding his moribund failure of a life, as well as his broken dreams. And you just told another shameless lie about coming home from work. Exactly what work would that be? Hawking bananas? I can, however, wear a proud smile that inconsequential nonentities like yourself are in the minority of the social ladder. And that just brightens up my day.

Well, there's a moral to this: Do unto others what you would do to yourself if you lived in a glasshouse, because the stone might just hit one of your own in the market square.

Wait. . . Sorry, there's a mix-up somewhere.

@ Pukkah, blathering like the
silly billy that you are. You had
better save your save from the
unnecessary haedache you may
cause yourself

Lmfao! BOOM!!!

VoodooDoll:

Lagos economy GDP.

Per the Reuters link: http://af.reuters.com/article/nigeriaNews/idAFWLA807620111028

Per capita = $3k per person
Population = 18m

GDP in total = 18 x 3k
Ans = $54bn.

From Lagos state website:

http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/index.php?page=subpage&spid=678&mnu=module&mnusub=ministry&mpid=25

·        25% Contribution to National GDP
·       Est. GDP of US$53.5bn (US$214bn – National GDP (2008) –WEF)
·        45% of Nigeria’s skilled labour force
·        Over 10,000 industrial & commercial concerns
·        Over 70% international air traffic (50% local)

Oh, okay. Thanks a mill, boss. Didn't factor that in earlier.

@Topic: If the census figures of 2006 read 9 million, and then rise to double the amount in just 5 years, then that spells serious doom for Nigerian urban settlements in terms of population growth. No-one seems to be paying attention to the rate at which we're growing, and this is getting rather worrying. I'm really worried.

Visit GenBuhari's thread for instance: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.0.html. Read the articles slowly (from the first page) and pay attention to the steep rise in our population (via the citations in the articles); then you'll understand the serious wahala wey we dey for.

They have built it, see pictures

OMG!! Guy, you and your T.A. Orji are so SHAMELESS!!!!
Are these pictures not from the Nilam Puri Condominium in MALAYSIA?
I mean, this is their website for God's sake!: http://www.bukitpuchong.com.my/html/projects_nilampuricondo.html

Guys, this dunce hired by T.A. Orji is here posting pictures of a building in malaysia, and passing them as works by T.A. Orji!!

Is this not enough to indicate the epic SCAM this so-called project promises?

I mean, I remember when I faced off the likes of Andrewnwa and his numerous shameless IDs, but atleast in his case, his pictures were photoshopped. But in this case, what we have here are COMPLETELY FAKE images being passed off as the works of this shameless criminal known as T.A. Orji!!

Lord save us from these criminal sycophants!

54 according to Fitch: http://af.reuters.com/article/nigeriaNews/idAFWLA807620111028

Thanks boss, but the link you posted says nothing about Lagos' GDP coasting within the $54bn mark. All it says is a rather rough estimate of the per capita, which it describes at 'about $3,000'.
