These Yorubas have shown how petty and shameless they are. Tinubu's govt has introduced a whole lots of dirty and despecable acts in governance. His tenure will come and go but I hope they can eat what will be cooked for them.
Imagine picking out a house to demolish in the middle of a street.May be Sanwolu by doing this will be 'loved' and brought back to the fold!!!
The bible states 'I will turn the craftiness of the wicked into foolishness'!

Igbophobia:
He was no friend of Ndigbo but a British spy. I guess in his old age his conscience started whipping him over his ignoble role in passing important Biafran secrets to the Mi6.

You got it wrong,even when the genocide was going on and suppressed by the British media,Federick was one of those whom made sure that they world gets to hear the truth.You can't be more informed on this topic than Ojukwu himself,read Ojukwu's account of the role played by Frederick.

A friend of Ndigbo!you will forever be remembered...je nke oma!!! ezigbo enyi ndigbo! nwanne dinamba! odogwu nwoke!!!
ADIEU.

Villages in South East are more developed than the city and in both no serious business activities going on there.

Those big mansions in the villages, what economic benefits are they giving to the people living around?

Aside Lagos are there anywhere else you can compare the value of businesses going on there with Onitsha,Aba,Nnewi etc both in trading and industrialization.When it comes to hospitality,fintech and education Owerri,Enugu and Akwa are doing just great.I still dont get the ground of your argument.

Why it's hard for the Igbo's to relocate back home and start developing their region. Leave the politicians development aside, business wise.

My sincere observations for years.

South East is the smallest region in Nigeria. Fact

Land is more expensive in South East compared to other regions. Fact

60% of the land have been acquired by the Igbo's billionaires without having intentions of using it or to sell. They only want to add it to family glory.

20% of the land are family heritage which must be preserved..

Igbo's should look into that and see if there won't be changes in developing their region even if they are not relocating permanently

By asking why is it hard for Igbos to go back home and develop their region?it simply means by implication that you are insinuating that Eastern region is not developed.So I find it hard to contribute meaningfully to your post.I may also want to know the yardstick you used in measuring development and juxtapose it with other Nigerian regions.
If it is structural development,the East is next to non apart from the favored federal govt projects almost always allocated to other regions,for obvious reasons since the civil war.
If it is human resource development, they south east is even towering above others.
If it is economic development,the south east have done great. less you forget,south east has the most developed ruler areas in sub saharan Africa.
So when you say,the south east should develop their region,it is confusing and vague.

After 10 days of the proclamation....it seems to me as an afterthought.
Anyway we move on!

Mission completed, operation successful,enemies nuclear program set back by decades,enemy now negotiated from a point of weakness!
God bless the good people of this world.

How come this statistics have not been disputed for over a year now?

When would you guys start taking responsibility self?

Is belittling for Anambea state to respond to such,even my extended family alone has more than that number of profs.No town out of the 100's of towns in Anambra has less than 15 to 20 profs,I mean just little towns,so it is ridiculous responding to such.I am sure that even you yourself dont believe this.

The 'hook-up' culture which is prevalent in Lagos and Abuja and by extension other states,is now having its adverse effects on Nigerians. Couple with the economic hardship,some ladies can hardly meet up with their needs without 'hook-up',but that's very bad.Also the rising numbers gay men in our society is not helping matters
For our young ladies .'you can learn happiness by trying to minimize your desires'!

I dont seem to understand,there was lightening and a thunder strike that killed some cows and they villagers are running around to appease the Fulanis,so that the security of the community is not shattered.
Tell me something,what the heck is happening in Nigeria?
If this thunder had killed human beings,they would quietly be buried but not the Almighty Nigerian cows!

They way this guy has been ranting online,will he be able to pass international security check,if made an ambassador. Certainly he is going to be a liability to this government if selected and he is going to harm whatever is left of this government....the world is listening!

These politicians are heartless,the way they stockpile state fund,even at a time people of the state he governed are dying of hunger.
That's why I spit on these data boys that stay online morning and night defending corrupt politicians and are mobilized with peanuts while their oppressors are stockpiling money that their 3rd generation will not finish it.

Apart from nuclear nations,no other country in the world has enriched uranium to the 80% level Iran has....if your nuclear program is for peaceful energy programs,why then are they enriching it to the level it is.They have enriched Uranium that can produce upto eight nuclear war heads,Its obvious they have bad intentions and going by their records in sponsoring terrorist groups like Hamas,Hezbollah,Houthis etc,they world cannot just watch on and allow these death mongers get a nuclear bomb.They have always wished to wipe out the Jewish state from the face of the earth and at their parliament,they chant death to Isreal,death to America.They are too erratic and dangerous to be allowed to get a nuclear weapon.

BodyCount:
Lol
This is the wish of the terrorists but God pass una

Almost all residents of Tel Aviv have fled, the rest are hidden inside bunkers for almost one week now.

Fighting never even reach one week and about 50% of the city is already destroyed.

Iran is seriously dealing with the terrorists and everyone around the world is proud of them.

GOD BLESS IRAN.

Ordinarily I do not comment on Isreali Iran thread because I know Nigerians are under even more serious attacks,like the one that happened in Benue and you guys dont care about that genocide because Benue people are dispensable!
Then this your usual senseless propaganda of always winning every way against the Jews with your mouth is becoming too shameful,isreal was attacked by Hamas on Oct 7,you guys started celebrating the defeat of the Jewish state and how weak they are. The last we checked it was now a cry of genocide.
Then along came that of Hezbollah,the social media was filled with how advance and capable Hezbollah are and with Iranian missiles in their possession that Isreal is finished.They were decimated with alacrity and what followed was a cry of genocide.The Iranian sponsored Houthis came and we all know how it ended with immediate surrender.Now Iran is being propped up with propaganda but when the 'Bush turns to jungle',we dont want stories that touches the heart.
What every reasonable person should be doing at this time,is to be on the side of peace,as we are all part of humanity.

The very moment Ebonyi state became an APC state,I knew ndigbo has just lost another state and the state will definitely be subjected to irresponsible leadership,just like Imo state,another APC state in the South East.

This Sanwolu guy is a world class ass-licker,people like him can be dangerous, that's the more reason I think the president is being careful.

These sycophants around the president is making matters worst. What the heck is Umahi apologising and thanking the president for.In saner climes,every effort and apology should go to the people of Yelwata,due compensation for the lost of lives,properties and more compensation for having ever left them in a situation where flood often block the mean entrance to their community,which could have also contributed to the security breach and not because one so called president couldn't pass the road.
Finally,the perpetrators of these ethnic cleansing must,I say must be brought to book either alive and dead,not the usual talks and after sometime everything is swept under the carpet.

A golden fish has no hiding place in the water! A great people,great culture,boisterous,industrious,ambitious,strong willed,resilient,very educated,accommodating,loving,abhor's injustice,peaceful,beautiful,explorers,travellers, inventors and a Godly people.
God bless Ndigbo! The civilized world loves you so much!

[quote author=CoronaVirusPro post=135821220]Yeah I dont think you are totally right,when you build houses,say for tenants and you spent 100 million and it is built in a viable place,you rent it out to tenants and in 5yrs time,you could recoup 20million naira and because properties rightly situated appreciate astronomically,as a good businessman,we build to resale.
In 5yrs time,you may be able to sale it for #200million or far more than that,plus the initial 20million naira you made from tenants.

Also dont forget that some people build as a form of legacy while some others see it as an inheritance for their kids,just incase things goes financially wrong later in life.

How about Tinubu the president whom declared the state of emergency.

educatedfool:
I sense pain in your comment

Your moniker captures my thought about you...no pun intended, just an honest observation.

I wonder how Prof.Yakubu Mahmoud sleeps at night,knowing he subverted the wishes and hope of millions of Nigerians in the last flawed elections and by so doing,he has set Nigeria about 50yrs backward....'conscience is an open wound only truth can heal it'! Where lies your conscience.
According to the bible 'God will turn the craftiness of the wicked into foolishness'! at the appropriate time,this will come to pass.

zero8zero:
They couldn't even go home for burials, weddings or Christmas until Tinubu came to power and restore a semblance of peace. Some of them are even saying Benue are bearing karma for past events but same horror has struck in Enugu & Abia. The question is, is it karma that is hitting Abia & Enugu too?. And Obi hasn't uttered a word yet, he was more concerned about Benue.

As usual,speaking from both side of your mouth,in one hand you are blaming Igbos for crying more than the bereaved in the case of Benue and Plateau,in the other hand you are accusing Igbos for being in support of the incidence in Benue.You are simply showing suicidal tendencies and you should be kept on watch,hatred and bitterness have ruined whatever is left of your wretched life.
So because some people were killed in the East by 'unknown gunmen',then we should keep quiet in the face of obvious ethnic cleansing against the Christian middlebelt states.That will never happen,we shall forever stand by them in theIR quest for justice.We as a people can never be cajoled into supporting evil,it is not in our culture,we always stand by what we believe in.
Even the killings in the East,we suspect the 'hands of Esau voice of Jacob' but that's a story for another day.
As for Joe Igbokwe,that one is national clown,his statements are only good for comic relief.

I have observed a trend common with you Yorubas,you always shy away from the truth and always wants to bring unrelated issues to counter truth.I am not to tell if Chinua Achebe was a better novelist than Soyinka,there works all over the world is enough to tell us who is better.We all knew why Chinua was not given a Nobel laureate and his antagonism to neo imperialist but that's story for another day.
Wole Soyinka is someone I have always respected so much and deservedly. However as human,I know that he is not infallible but the earlier Prof Soyinka stays away from this government the better for his reputation that he labored for over the years.
Goodluck Jonathan honoured him with a national award and he rejected it,citing lack of democratic tenets and few years down the line,his tribes man whom can be judged to be a civilian tyrant,gave him same award and he accepted,that's shameful to me.Even when Rivers state was unjustly handed over to the military.
For his image,he could equally have rejected it,that's my take.I just hope he stays away from this government,for his reputation.

After the death of over 200 people,government keep playing with insecurity,if they really wants to get those murderers,they know how to get at them.Was it not the same Nigerian that went all the way to Kenya to rendition Nnamdi Kalu to Nigeria.
With the aid of special drones which we can afford,we can neutralize those bastard terrorists,ofcourse when they are traced from their escape part,they will be tracked down.
Look at advance military like Isreal what they are doing with intel,why not we bring in mercenaries to help out.
How many people will die for we to know that enough have died.
This is so annoying,my heart goes out to the people of Benue,we ndigbo are with you guys.

We have never had such a terrible parliamentarians,how did we get to the point of assembling gluttons with unquenchable urge for extra dollars as our representatives.Only but a silent minority amongst them still have a semblance of integrity but the rest are akin to 'Ali baba and the forty thieves'.

APC after annihilating other opposition parties,they will fight theirselves to a standstill, an eminent implosion.

Misplaced priority,in the face of biting poverty in the land. All in a bid to have extra loot from inflated contracts for the purpose of the 2027 elections.

Umahi you have given us the amount and kilometers of roads done in both North and South.You can now do better in giving us the total amount and kilometers of roads done in each geopolitical zone,I want to check something.
When it suits you guys and to cover-up the obvious favouritism and sectional concentration of projects,you guys cunningly muddle up the whole South into one. Please save Nigerians your rhetorics,we know the truth and what the premeir of western Nigerian region is upto.
I can not hold brief for the north because Buhari did worst,sidelined the south east /south south in major railway projects while even extending such to Maradi in Niger and the north was okay with that.Now Tinubu has continued in the APC evil agenda of always having to marginalize the south east and is annoying to see Rotimi Amaechi and Dave Umahi doing the dirty jobs for these wicked tribalistic political hyenas in Abuja.
