Flier: Who are those mentioning Ibadan for crying out loud? Ibadan that is just changing to double lane few years ago? Please stop mentioning Ibadan there is no road The suburbs are even worse Things started to change during Alao Alada days but Ibadan is so far behind even Osun by several years The last 3 oyo state governors really tried,let’s see what happens in coming years.
Ibadan is one of the fews cities in Nigeria officially without a master plan.
the same Lagos state people die in traffic? If you talk about commerce I'll agree with you about Lagos but when it comes to a liveability index like road network, neither lagos nor any city in southwest should make any list.
People who truly own things don't fight to claim them because ownership is self evident.
If it's a lie ask king Solomon how he knew the real mother between the two harlots.
When it was named nollywood, Yorubas movie makers rejected it and stated they were not part nollywood. They even had an association called the association of theatre act practitioners of Nigeria (ATAPN) different from nollywood's actor's guild of Nigeria (AGN). However, fear of failure, as always, prevented them from Christening their own industry like Kannywood of the north. They prefer to ride on the fame of nollywood while claiming glory. Lol
tribalmall: Watch how Mnesome Ejikeme shameless people will defend this fraud yey they'll be everywhere on NL claiming Ronu people are the ones starving. Criminal set of foolish fools !
Ijaws now have their own musiwa who is on colos on Igbo matter. The largest tribe in South South is Igbo. If you remove Portharcourt and Asaba, then there is no South South.
Akwa cross people are not interested in unification. But If we consider them a single ethnic group then they should be the largest group and the ranking should be in this order
Akwa cross people Igbos Edo Urhobo Ijaw
The habitable place in Bayelsa is only about 2000 sq km and the only ijaw people in Bayelsa are the southern Ijaw. Others like Ogbia, Epie, Nembe etc are settlements with distinct languages and culture along the creeks of the Niger Delta.

You know nothing bro. Stop advertising your ignorance. Ondo is more populous than Enugu? and and Igbos are only half of Rivers?
Let me tell you, Igbo speaking natives in Rivers are already half of the state population. Combine it with Igbos from SE and Delta, you get about 70% of the state.
Igbos are at least 1/3 of Delta population.
Yorubas in Kogi are not up to 20% of the state but you are free to inflate the figures all you want. Ondo is just slightly more populous than ekiti. If ekiti is 2mil then ondo shouldn't be up to 2.5 mil. But you ranked it more populous than Enugu lol FCT suddenly went missing from your list. Actually 3 of ten people I meet in FCT are Igbos. That is me being conservative. The election result shock you abi after your armchair statistics?
I am not a fan of high population but I easily spot manipulation.
Greenfaces: The argument is not if afikpo is in enugu or ebonyi, or wherever ekwulobia is in anambra or imo. The argument here is that muslims are in the eastnof Nigeria just as they are in london and america. If you don't like it, then choke on your hot akpu and groundnut soup. Oponu!
haha 🐖 If you don't know where afikpo is located how will you know it's make up? Who are you arguing with? Lol
Greenfaces: sit in your fathers house and be eating akpu while telling your self that you and your church members are the only ones in the east. Ode!
see a pig 🐷 under his mother's bed in osogbo that doesn't know where afikpo is located is telling me the make up of a place I visit almost weekly. Lol clown.
Mccullum: See the picture of how you're contradicting yourself, is it only Muslims countries intra fighting issues in this world? Is it only Muslims countries having secession agitations in this world? is it only Muslims countries has issues of negative peace, and challenges on progression and development in this planet?
Your write up laced with hatred and bitterness beclouded you from sighting many Muslims countries that doing fine, such as Qatar, Kuwait, Algeria, Oman, Brunel, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. You chronically mentioned few. Treat the issues on this topic constructively, The India predominated by Hindus has formulated many policies to frustrates Muslims minority, even destruction of many mosques, taming and murdering of many Muslims that won't make me to condemned the whole of Hindus practitioners due to my understanding on individualistic differences, Ghandi was an Hindus, his leadership didn't frustrates Muslim then in Indian but Modi is different case and both were Hindus.
In totality, I dislike what happened in Pakistan, I blamed the government of that country most time something like this happened for the failure on lack of strong deterrent mechanism in place for assailants to face consequences of their barbaric acts.
clown. You are the one contradicting yourself. Singapore seperated from Malaysia, East Timor seperated from Indonesia. Kuwait used to be the most secular and developed country in the middle East until Islamic Iraq invaded it, things are not the same there again. Qatar also is relaxing it's Islamic laws. The three other countries you mentioned have nothing on them.
Btw, I am happy you are able to count Islamic countries stable at the moment. Speaks volumes.
Greenfaces: you're only been myopic. There is no country in the world i know about that muslims don't exist. Absolutely no place. Even afikpo local government in enugu state has a lot of igbo muslims. So only you know what you're talking about when you say your country will not have muslims. Maybe the country will be in your compound and fenced.
afikpo LGA in Enugu there is a lot of Muslims. You don't even know which is which but you "know" there are Muslims. Come and show me the "lots" of Muslims nah.
India and Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be one under the British rule. Shortly before independence, India was partitioned along religious line into two countries of Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. The Muslim Pakistan broke into two countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Today Balochistan is still fighting to secede from Pakistan while Pakistan itself is in a political and economic crisis. India is stable and progress albeit slowly. Still the only problem India has is the remaining minority Muslims in the country.
Peace, progress and development can never be found where there is Islam. Even Islamic states like Saudi and the UAE are gradually doing away with the Sharia and Islam entirely by relaxing their Islamic laws in favour of more secularism, in order to welcome development.
Muslims can't live with anybody. They fight with Jews in Israel, fight with Hindu in India, fight with Christians all over the place. They even form sects and fight among themselves in Islamic countries. Even as terrorists, they split and fight each other.
There is only one remaining country in the world where Muslims and non Muslims live in equal or near equal population. That country is Nigeria and it will soon go the way of Sudan.
ISLAMBAD: This is one of the reasons i am a strong advocate of Nigeria break up...
In my new country there would be no trace of islam... (It might sound harsh, but such measure must be adopted for sanity to return) . So many countries dont tolerate islamic religion no matter how liberal some of them might appear...
mdimefields: Nigerian politics is solidly built on anti Igbo propaganda. Bulk of the oil and gas in Rivers and Delta States are located in Igbo speaking areas. You want Nigeria to cede those areas for Igbos and slipped off from their free oil money? They will rather sponsor another war to decimate Igboland further. This is why we need to be careful and work towards our unity with tact and sage minds.
tact indeed. If you want peace, you prepare for war. Your enemy knows that he has what belongs to you and he knows he fought to get it. He WILL NEVER let go of it if you don't fight, that is why it's called freedom FIGHTING not freedom tact. Jews tried tact for over two thousand years until the Nazis made them understand that the language of force is the most potent. Today, they have the state of Israel. International border is NEVER redrawn without war. The United Nations can never come to a sovereign state questioning how it governs itself but can surely ask the parties why they are FIGHTING. United Nations bring peace and stability not Justice. If you want people to listen to you, start fighting. People can never surrender to reason and justice if you don't prove to them that you are capable of being more barbaric and crazy than they can ever get. Once people start accusing you of being barbaric and destroying yourselves, know that you are beginning to overwhelm and defeat them. Learn from the Irish. They are a peaceful people. But the showed the British pepper. Attacking ever police station and security formations in sight until the British got tired. Today, Ireland is one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
Except you mean tact in a fight, you will never achieve anything by hiding behind tact to dodge responsibility. You will lose generations upon generations to injustice.
Until unknown gunmen started hitting back at security operatives in the East, no one took BIAFRAN agitators serious. People began to realise Igbos had become serious about seperation. I am talking about the real ones not the idiotic criminals being paraded by Ekpa. Do you know it alot of non Igbos that voted for LP did that to make Igbos stop BIAFRAN movement?
South South needs Igboland more than we need them. The government is offering them your land while bullying the Igbo natives of the area. A clear gerrymandering to reduce Igbo influence and bargaining power.
Only a planned fight can retrieve your lands and make the so called South South know your worth. It it's even in the Bible. Only bloody sacrifice can give us freedom. If we fail to recognise it and continue deceiving ourselves with tack, we'll weep forever.
