₦airaland Forum

Genius100: Ikenna, you are doing a great job. There is finally some sanity in this forum. Keep up the good work.

Please his target should be increased to more than 2000 poster banning per day , this would ensure Nairaland does meet up with the exigencies and requirements needed to maintain the present poetic injustice

automaticcars: I did not break any rule. A guy insulted my family and i responded in kind in about three sentences, the next thing he did was to ban me.

my friend responding to an attack is breaking the rules, you are a neophyte for responding to an attack , you should have either watched the attacker finish your family or begged the attacker to hold his fire.

@ Nairalanders when ever you under an attack , either tribal or religious please , please , please, dont repond to the attack , it will lead to you being banned, it is actually breaking of rules. just allow the attacker to do his Job very well and thank him for his attacks.

@Nairaland moderators please kindly unban the poster he is new to nairaland and has not spent enoiugh time to learn to play the game by the rules or the rules by the game

With the Way Nigeria is going , with the Boko Haram issue , the Killing of foreign Captives , Bombings in the Cities of Jos , Maiduguri, Kano, and with the demonstration by Biafrans , i wont be surprised if the world calls for a referendum in Nigeria, this demonstration in Australia could have some behind the scenes moves by some power countries ( may be Britain and Italy due to the recent attacks they have witnessed).

There is more to this that we are presently seeing

Why are you people accusing igbos of everything thing , the person who made thisstatement in the newspapers is a Niger deltan , you can check him up in the newspapers.

The Hypocirtes should go ahead and save the TIV who are being massacred right now

some American oil company with headquaters in Texas are Shell, conoco phillips,Haliburton ,exxon Mobil , Marathon oil e.t.c , infact there is an energy corridor in Texas where most of the Companies and headquatered , Niger deltans should buil an Energy Corridor in PH or warri that will be free from social vices and miltant activities .

If really despite the activities of OPC in lagos (who last week killed a staff of Etisalat in lagos )then oil companies  can function effectively in the Niger Delta where their source of Raw Material is located .

Niger Deltans will be the biggest fools on earth if the dont fight for thier Birth Right, if Retardeen/Odechukwu does not immmediately order the Companies to move their Headquaters to Niger Delta then he is worst than Aguiyi Ironsi whose only achievement in office was empowering people who eventually assasinated him,

Yorubas need to seriously appraise their lives, the major problem wasnt Abiola dying, but the problem of Dying for something that was yours legally and yet not getting it, if Jonathan, the retardeen was a yoruba man probably he would be in jail for ursurping Yaradua's post , infact the north would have accused him of planning a coup with some fictitious and funny videos of Niger Delta Militant and jailed him with all the ijaw leaders like Clark, Okoko and other
Niger Delta Generals and militants that would have been humiliating really.

Here was Shonekan who was legally given power and a general Abacha forcefully chanced him of it , Abiola won an election and went to prison for claiming his victory (this same thing happened in ivory coast but ouattara got his post back and he didnt die like Abiola)
And to cap it all ,At a time in Nigeria All Yoruba generals went to prison for not doing anything wrong except being yorubas in Nigeria's Army and yorubas could not even resist only make noise from Ghana and london ( yet we have Niger Delta Militants Masquerading as generals and no body dared arrest them they even killed a lt col last week and 10 soldiers)

Yet Yorubas go about calling Jonathan (who did what Abiola could not do) a retardeen, they call Ojukwu a coward who rather than form a Nadeco like organisation and be fighting Gowon in the pages of Newspapers and from some foreign locations in ghana and london, decided to fight the Nigerian army headlong with disastrous concasualties on both sides.

Dieing for what you believing when other peopl fight for the same thing and getting it it is on record that Abiola , Ogundip where the Only people who were qualified and legally right to rule Nigeria bt did not make it to the presidency because they were afraid .
Ogundipe and Ojukwu who ould be called a Coward , Ogundipe was most qualified to replace Ironsi but ran away to London Ojukwu was not qualified but  fought to oppose Gowon , unless the meaning of a coward has changed

And it's only in Nigeria where a terrorist body posts weekly threats to bomb, destroy and burn down oil companies and STILL people exhort these same companies to increase their risk profile by building more and more facilities in the  troubled region.

It's also only in Nigeria where the meaning of the word 'amnesty' has been bastardised like this. Usually amnesty is given to repentant criminals who understand that they have been given a second chance by their governments to live a straight life without reprisal for their past misdeeds.
In Nigeria the Amnesty program sucks tens of billions of taxpayers money, rewards people who took up arms against their society and is used as a tool of blackmail. Imagine someone given amnesty demanding for appeasement to stay away from their prior vices. Nonsense!

it is aslo only in Nigeria that dervation formula and revenue sharing fromula will be changed over night because of oil deposits in other regions , it is only in nigeria that oil wells can be allocated to criminals whose only qualification is that the retired as general in Nigerian Army. it is also only in Nigeria that a sitting Head of State OBJ functioned for 8 years as also an oil minister and the refineries never woked fo a day.

It is also only in Nigeria

@ Osiri you could have at least done a little research before replying the message , if you check the Exxon Mobile you mentioned has their headquaters in Texas not washington or California, Now texas is an oil state and has 1 of the highest deposits of oil in US, have ever wondered if there were Oil companies with offices in California and washington let me give it to you as an assigment .

Nigeria is so obscured that Cocoa is produced in the southwest and cocoa house is in Ibadan not lagos or Abuja the RMRDC same for Coal , Coal Coproation is head quatered in Enugu and not in Lagos or Abuja, why will oil be different Oil is mined in the SS , why will oild company Headquaters be in Lagos and Abuja.

Like Kettykin said it is only in Nigeria.

The field Marshall of Yoruba Land died without a Gunshot from his Enemy
The field Marshall of Igbo land died Given a Heroes Burial by the same country he fought against

The field Marshall of Yoruba Land had only an HND from an obscure polytechnic
The field Marshall of Igbo Had Masters Degree from the Best Unviersites in the world
The field Marshall of Yoruba Land was born into acute poverty
The field Marshall of Igbo land was born into stupendous wealth by the wealthiest man in Africa

The field Marshall of Yoruba was given a coward burial with his body parts not intact
The field Marshall of Igbo land was given Heroes Burial with full miltitary honours

The SW want to sow somewhere and reap elsewhere , vote for another party ACN and rule with PDP, what is happening to the SW is what happens to peopl who sit on the fence. guess what ? they remain there on the fence. if the SW does not change their pattern of Amala politics (politics of Betrayal) they will move from Nigeria's political wilderness to Nigeria's political dungeon where they were till CKNzeogwu rescued them .

What we are witnessing now is the Gradual decline of Nigeria and possibly fall of Nigeria, if you are versed in hisory you remember that both Rome and Soviet Union took the same path where as Rome degraded without any possible solution , the russian were smart enough to facilitate a speedy and peaceful distintegration , howerver Blacks being what they are never learnt any thing both from Soivets and romans , even from the civil war they fought they still believe somehow that the situation can be salvaged , that we can have both core christians and core muslims in 1 country , worst than having communist and capitalist in the same republic and keep patching it till when ?.

A declining theory i believe is tht right from inception Nigeria was born into manageable corruption even fom its days as Royal Niger company , today the corruption has been allowed to eat deep into the fabric of the society and blossomed in to a full scale corruption disease, with increasing poverty in the north and the rapid unmanageable population growth in that region , unrest and dissent has pushed young men in their prime into militancy will this militancy cease or continue , only time will tell. The south is no better off, Gang robbers and touths in the SW , Kindnappers and robbers in the east and militants in the Nigerdelta.
i wish Nigerians can be smart for once and think !!!!

Weaklings and Cowads like JNK waku did not come out to denounce Boko Haramas at that time it i now that the End of the road is very close to oko haram that he is now making noise

I initially thought Boko Haram ordered them to leave the north and they refused to Leave the North until Bokohram started Attacking Christians and Churches and southerners.

Who is Realling Blackmailing who

There is really no need to declare anything now or even in the nearest future, If igbos declare anything , you will be surprised that Boko Haram's Agenda will change from imposing Sharia in Nigeria to fighting Nigeriai's Distintegration.

Nigeria is a cult that must be followed strictly by all its adherent faithfully.

My advice to Igbos is dont be fooled twice. The biggest enemies of Nigeria might not even be BokoHaram but the Lily livered people who rather than fight Bokoharam were busy fighting for Subsidy

How come Biafra gives some people more head ache than all the bombings of Boko Haram put together, people who fail to plan now will plan to fail later

if you want to make things difficult for the president what else do you expect him to do, pat you on the back or kick your backs, anyway Afenifere has dug the grave of yorubas againts 2015, i wont be surprised if another state of Emergency will be declared over western region with its attendant fatlities, next time your man is in Govt you wont allow him to send troops to other peoples land .

@ posters nothing will happen to GEJ , after all this people were breaching the peace of the society  and will have to get it sorted with security agents.

OBJ did the same thing when Buhari and Chuba Okadigbo where demonstrating gainst the result of 2003 elections Mopols were sent to spray tear gas and harrass Buhari and chuba in the process Chuba who is asmathic felll ill (i think he was poisoned) and died later that night. so get right GEJ is not doing anything unusual if you disturb the peace you will be blown to pieces.

OBJ later applied the same formulae to Buhari and Ojukwu protest in 2007, how time flies , surely what goes around comes around.

lets hope Bakare will come out alive, his mouth has finally put him into troubles which he must answer.

IBB seems to be the most experienced and intelligent retired general , that he is corrupt simply means he amassed wealth above his income that deos not make him unintelligent, GEJ has every reason to learn 1 or 2 things from IBB.

Restructturing could mean a whole lot like giving the SW the right to mine their Bitumen and Gold and the MB full powers to tap maximally their Agricultural potentials, the NE and NW can practice 100% of Sharia without killing anybody, the SS should have 50 % derivation and the SE will be able to Tap coal, Natural gas and crude oil in their land for maximal benefits.
The Zones should be free to refine oil in their zones and app;ly subsidy as it pleases them, the oilf frims should further move thier headquaters to the Niger Delta Area for maximum benefits to oil producing areas like American companies did in the middles east.
Anybody who does not like this is free to seccede to be part of Nigeria should not be by force.

Nigerian federation after the subsidy war will be upgraded to nigeria 4.0
nigeria 1.0  after the civil war                   igbos vs Nigeria
nigeria 2.0  after the slaughter coups of 1976  middle belt vs Hausa/fulani
nigeria 3.0  after june 12                         yorubas vs Hausa    
nigeria 4.0 after subsidy war                  SE/SS VS SW/NW/NE

the forces are still alligning , lets see where Middle belters will allign  and  how the events of 2015 will play out. I dont think there will be much slaughter because UN already has troups  waiting , my candid advice is , stop being superstitous and separate now , a stich in time saves nine.
the Mother of all protests might lead to the mother of all wars

The problem of Nigeria preceded Goodluck Ebele Jonathan , Please Dont be deceived , Aguiyi Ironsi was once accused of being the problem of Nigeria and was sacrificed yet the Unitary system he promulgated has been the sing song of the Northern Cabal that assasinated him. if Jonathan is sacrificed the Problem will still be there .

Nigerians should look deeper and they will see the problem of the Country.

What really is the prolem of Nigeria , is it subsidy or security or what , Are Nigerians ordering their priorities aright by Fighting for Subsid and not for Security , if a more civilized and balanced country was in Nigeria's situation will the fight for subsidy or will the rather get security right and fight for subsidy. i have been thinking about all these for a long time.

I understand the whole subsidy thing is really painful but at the same time i think Nigerians are getting their priorities wrong. and the 1 that confuses me most is Nigerians or rather paid demonstrators demonstrating in New york, London, Canada, finland e.t.c could be it be that there is something happening with subsidy money which Nigerians dont know, does the lives of some Nigerians in Diaspora depend on this subsidy. how come Certain part of the country are crying out loudest in this subsidy war. Are they plain parasites or are they being mischevous.

Coming back home Eastern Nigeria has other issues than subsidy, Most people buy fuel above 100/liter and will be indifferent to any further increase. i really wonder how a region that does not have refinery and even the new refinery allocation does not favour will come out and fight subsidy. A region that has very few Federal Government presence does not need to fight for the government.

Fellow Nigerians and their Hypocrisy, they have time to villify and attack their fellows , experts at laying blame and passing bucks but never good at proffering solutions.
The same subsidy has been removed from Ghana , Niger and Chad and fuel is currently more expensive in those locales, why do you want to remove the fleck that is in the eyes of the South easterners without removing the electric poles that is in your eyes.
The people you pointed at Egypt , Tunisia, and Libya demonstrated to remove Tyrants and dictators, check through the history of Nigerians the tyrants and dictators that ruled Nigeria from the onset.

Yakubu Gowon 1966 - 1976   deputised by Awolowo
Buhari 1984 - 1985 deputised by Tunde Idiagbon
Ibrahim Babangida 1984 to 1993 deputised by Aikhomu
Abacha   1993 to 1998 deputized by Oladipo Diya

The Same lunatics that benefited from the wrong structure and corruption in the oil indutry are the same people opposing the removal of Oil subsidy

with the above figures , who is really fooling who ? do we have to go through this over and over again , you can check through those that benefited from Haliburton Scandal and Siemens Scandal and tell me the same are not the people opposing the fuel price increase.

Yesteryears their cry was for an SNC even when there was no BokoHaram but today even with Bokoharam and crises in the north their cry is for subsidy to remain and for Jonathan to resign.

Fellow Nigerians these set of people have had opportunities to redress the imballance from 1960 till date but made U turns at the last minute .

In 1966 they came with their Operation Wetie and when igbos chorused with with Operation Damisa , these same people made a U turn and rather than continue with Operation Wetie  made a U turn to join the same Hausa Fulani oppressors and  rather remain neutral the rather gave their land lagos and joined the North to fight to south.

In 1993 when the whole world was jolted by the annulment of the June 12 presidential election these same lunatics joined the Government of Abacha as Vice President (Oladipo Diya ) they Upstaged and back stabbed their Kinsman Chief Shonekan who was brought in to redress the annulment of the june 12 election.
By 1995 they were caught planning to upstage  Abacha.

Fellow Nigerians don not be deceived , They have come with their usual Antics in the form of fighting subsdiy removal as at yesterday they were singing Jonathan must go . The value subsidy above human rights , They never protested the killings in jos and the recent victimisation of christians in the North. They are only selfish and self centered fighting over =N=75 subsidy. The same people are waiting and hoping that the crises will escalate and possibly force Jonathan to resign and replace Jonathan with Buhari and Bakare as his voice.

Fellow Nigerians do no be deceived , it is everyman to his own as some people are fighting for Subsidy , The niger Delta should fight for resource control and the South East should fight for their Biafra while the North can fight for Boko Haram and sharia with the Middle belters fighting for their political emancipation.

The issue of Sunsidy is not the biggest Issue troubling Nigeria

what kind of war will igbos fight now, war of seccession or war of self defence  or war of invasion, if the jews were the same shoe of igbos would they seccede or will there people leave those hostile territories , talk of jews still living in Iran and blaming iranians of attacking the jewish citizens.

The Porperties igbos have in Abuja is well worth trillions of Naira, not to talk of Jos, kaduna, kano, i saw igbos who built houses in Maiduguri and Bauchi , 3 star hotels in Bauchi . what igbos need is a kind of self appraisal of their investments outside the east Kaduna, Kano, jos ,maiduguri) and know if it is worth sacrificing.

I think the best igbos should do now is to leave potiskim , damaturu e.t.c immediately  and focus on defending their interest in Kaduna , Kano, Jos where they leave in igbo quaters AKA Sabongaris , while planning long term relocation, selling of thier estates , relocation of businesses and families within the next 3 to 10 years,

it does serve them right , i know some igbos who work in the banks in potiskum, maiduguri and damaturu for years now. what i dont know is why they havent asked fro transfer and what other igbos like the spare parts traders, restaurant and boutique owners are doing there , knowing fully well that there is no longer peace in the north

Denounce Jonathan because of Subsidy , my friend grow up and dont be lazy, the same subsidy was removed in Ghana, Niger, Chad, Must you live off subsidy and handouts ?

The fear of Betrayal is the beginning of Wisdom for igbos, personally i fear the betrayal from Awolowo or Bakare or OBJ more than the Military arsenal of European Union and America put together

A memorial in respect of those who have been killed by these lunatic since 1945 needs to be established and this memorail will need to be celebrated yearly so that those unborn will not repeat this mistakes by going to live in the north

Igbos have another opportunity to re enact the 6 day war (yum kippur) episode in africa , it require careful planning and very very quick in execution but what happens if the other nigerians start crying that their leaders have been killed again

The igbos arent as smart as thew jews, repeating the same mistake over and over again does make for respect. as i am talking with you there are igbo business men in maiduguri, damaturu , potiskum , mubi, biu. Uwazurike must be an incompetent fool who had responsibilty entrusted on him accidentally by Ojukwu's death.
An agile , well experienced fellow like orji uzo kalu would have made a better leader.

Any way the killing will continue as long as there is no counter reaction. igbos need a more realistic and pragmatic step to operate at these times, igbos need to leave those axis of evil.
