"Again, let me simplify it some more.


I stated your FG has to approve the list before giving it to the USA ambassador. A pattern every nation in this world does. I'd your country is a decent country and the rest of the world would die to come to if they offer scholarship, your dumbass would have known about this.

Your blother provided the list that 100,000 applicants from Nigeria applied to be in the list. Again, who do you think went through 100,000 applicant? USA ambassador okwuya.

Yes you are right..the USA ambassador/government had nothing better to do".

" Comprehension of what you read is your problem

I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again....I'm just going to refer you back to the pages and pat close attention when I spoke about the VP/mere commissoner, Tinubu control in APC, etc.
It's the same reason northerners are on that list while there are limited number of SS on the list despite we dominate both una in education. While I'm at it, why are you asking questions that common sense should point to you? Are there no igbos on the list?

We all know how that Nijeria works. Fact!!"
EducationRe: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by Ariani: 11:48am On May 08, 2016
"FG had access to the list before it was given to the USA ambassador. It had to be approved by the government of the nation first before it goes to the receiving nation's government.

Chei...I must feed you

Anyway, ndoooooooo, you are right...Nigeria is so important that the USA ambassador personally went to each school, pulled out the attending students names and started picking people. That man had nothing better to do. You are so right "
EducationRe: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by Ariani: 11:43am On May 08, 2016
"Nah let me simplify it for you cause I know how comprehension is your problem.

Your government as I mentioned earlier approve the list before it gets to the receiving government. Since APC is filed with North and yorubas, knowing how much the North aren't all up in the western education this eliminate their hands on the approval. Since the president is busy flying left and right all over the world, that eliminates his hand in the list approval. So that's left to the APC lick ass who comes when north doesn't want the bone aka yoruba. In that APC group, the main yoruba heads are theVP, Tinubu and Fashola.

Do you get it now, or do I have to find an infant to simplify it some more?"

Now you might know why most Yorubas are one Nigeria adherents, their apparent love for the Nigerian entity is not borne out of patriotism, but out of selfish desires of benefiting immensely( Lion share) from that which belongs to another.

This is why we in the Niger Delta must know our harmless enemies and dangerous friends in Yoruba land .

This is why I like nairaland and Seun's biases .

Inadvertently he is exposing Yoruba hatred and jealousy of the Niger Delta people through his own bias censorship .

The propaganda against Biafra has failed woefully , now in the Niger delta we know authoritatively who our real enemies are and it is you Yorubas .
You should have know that Yorubas depend alot on Lagos, it's like their cash cow, while Lagos in return depends on Nigeria continual unity to remain fat, if not she will degenerate to the levels of Lome. Conakry, Abidjan, Accra, etc, all African colonial cities that were established about the same time as Lagos by the colonial masters, but does not have the Nigerian resources and population to draw from and grow fat, like Lagos did.

Beware of any Yoruba that tells you that he wants Nigeria disintegration, he is a dangerous cunning person that must be avoided.

I prefer the sincere ones that see any attack on Nigerian unity or precious Nigerian resources, they so much need, as a personal attack. cool

what's this? Nigeria does not negotiate with Terrorists!!
"Another man terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter".
To the oppressors, the oppressed who demand for justice and equity are terrorists.

I bet the apartheid govt saw both Mandela and ANC members, as terrorists. Just as Roman oppressors saw European tribes fighting to rid themselves of Roman yolk of oppression as "Barbarians".

Oppressors are naturally not predisposed to negotiating with the oppressed( terrorists), the oppressed violently force and weaken the oppressors leaving them (oppressors) with no option but to negotiate.

This is exactly what the Avengers are doing, they have Nigeria at the jugular, and won't stop squeezing until they( Avengers) are either annihilated or Nigeria is on her knees calling for negotiation.

[b] Paul Anber's essay "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt:
" '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407 ." ''... His source was the Annual Abstract of Statistics ( Federal Office of Statistics, Lagos, 1965) [/b]

This is 1965 stats. Ndiigbo still led then. So when exactly did this Yoruba leadership of Nigerian Education happen huh

I want to see the stats from a credible source other than Lagos- Ibadan Yoruba media of falsehood and lies, showing stats where Yorubas led in Education in Nigeria.

You left freely without any crime hanging over you neck in 1993, nobody forced you back.

In 1967, you killed our leaders and we simply brought you to justice. Simple as ABC.

Critically analysed and it is anti-igbo coup!!!! CHineke meheeeeee. Na wa o.

1, Who were the coup plotters? Igbos.
2. How many Igbo men were killed, whether politician or military? just one military officer. He was kiled out of vendetta and beef by one of the coup plotters.
3. Who refused to hand hand over power to the nominated cabinet member (Dipcharima), after Balewa's demise? Orizu, an igbo man
4. Who handed over power to Ironsi? Orizu
5. Who was the beneficiary of the coup executed by igbo officers? Ironsi, an igbo man.
6. Who was dilly-dallying in bringing the igbo coup plotters to justice? Ironsi, an igbo man.

If it is not an Igbo coup, then it must be Hutus coup then.
Lol! Who are these we? The Arewa-Yoruba Islamic alliance?
I guess the shout of "Araba" during the massacre never happened.

The coup was anti Igbo because:

Nzeogwu the coup originator never was Igbo trained, he was only Igbo by blood, he hardly can represent the wish and political thoughts of Ndiigbo at that era in discuss.


With regionalism in place, and the two oil rich regions of Midwest and Eastern region under the leadership of Igbo leaders ie Osadebey and Okpara, all Ndiigbo needed was to tighten regional autonomy and ensure the wealth from the two regions was used in developing the region, while we paid peanuts in tax to the FG, this was what the Igbo leaders in Okpara and Osadebey wanted, the ignorant khaki boys( Ironsi, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and co) actions, betrayed those interests .

Akintola and Awolowo factions fighting each other, fragmenting and rendering the Western region politically fragile, was actually what the Eastern leaders would have loved, as it makes things easier for Okpara dreams of placing Portharcourt as the nation's premier industrial, port and commercial city. Akintola short term victory would have meant that Awo would have rotted and died in prison while his Yoruba followers would have been easy targets for anyone wishing to destabilize Akintola and Yorubas.

The khaki boys did exactly the opposite, they eliminated Akintola, making it easier for Yorubas to unite behind Awolowo and present a United front, it also meant that Awo survived without Akintola supporters linking Akintola's death to him, as the khaki boys were guilty .

To the best of my knowledge, the coup and coup plotters changed all the political climate in the country that were all favouring Ndiigbo.
Viz:
1, A weak and fragmented Yorubaland that had been turned into battlefield by Akintola supporters and Awo supporters, Akintola himself being a northern sell out, and a tool to the saraduna who touted that he was set to conquer Yorubaland politically.

2, An inplace regional system that would had ensured that the economic gap between the Midwest/ Eastern region and the West/ Northern regions would have been as wide as the rift between heaven and hell, as long as we carried the non Igbos in those two regions along by ensuring equal wealth and power division and wealth control.

What do you mean by Ndiigbo leaving Lagos in 1993? Cos I don't remember Ndiigbo having an independent nation of our own in 1993.
Igbo demand for secession has been ever strong, and we know those who plea for the police to shoot peaceful Igbos secessionist protesters ,shiver at the mention of Nigeria disintegration and try to cover this fear by threatening to rain brimstone on Igbo secessionists.

The leaders of the Igbos should release a quick statement condemining the attack as an act of mischief makers and misguded youths and urge our brothers in the North not to retaliate this nonsense as no right thinking Igbo man will attack his fellow Fulani brother or anyone else from other region. They should go ahead to assure the people that normacy has returned to the city and that the people can go about their business as usual.
