What is there to learn in cluelessnness?May be he should build more Almajiri schools .

if you count yourself as a youth or future of tomorrow then Nigeria is doomed. Mean while let the general refurbishment of infrastructures continue, and let him implement true frderalism

proudlyhandsome:
The funny thing about your write is that you had just made this same mistake El cetera was trying to correct; unnecessary chest-beating.

Just listen to yourself, "East is economic powerhouse of Nigeria", says who? You i ypresumed. If Northerners stop bringing food to the East, Westerners stop you from migrating to the West and SS people send you packing from their land, pls how would you survive it cos that was what led to what you called Genocide during the civil war in 60s.

If Biafra leaves Nigeria today without making an attempt to secede with any SS part, Nigeria ll move on without any regret. If Yoruba leaves today, Nigeria ll equally move on without any regret.

Stop this chest-beating over nothing my friend. It has done more damage to Igbo race than good. What is the values of all stocks in Alaba market and Ladipo that Abacha son or common Balogun son (Trying to use the least person among millionaires not even billionaires) won't be able to pay for without leaving wherever they are.

First on the list of what Igbos need to do away with is chest-beating attitude. Dangote and Danjuma investments alone in Nigeria could amount to 90% of all Igbo investments home and abroad but you hardly see Northerners making noise about it. The same thing applicable to Otedollar and Adenuga( lets leave the likes of Dantata,Ayinde, Folawiyo,Okoyas and Alakija out of this), you hardly see Yorubas making noise about it.

Let's apply/bring this chest-beating attitude to individual level so as to see the damage it has done to Igbos. As an individual, you bragged about your success in the midst of people you perceived as unsuccessful businessmen but unknown to you that they are have recorded more success than you in 100 folds but only being modest and quiet about their success. Naturally as humans including you, you would avoid this type of person and that is why you will hardly see any business partnership between Igbo and Hausa/Fulani or Igbo and Yoruba billionaires.

The second paragraph of el cetera write up is a normal thing for a leader to say to inspire his followers. It does not necessarily mean that those things were done.

firstly food is what can be grown anywhere in where in the world as far as the land is fertile and the last time I checked eastern land is more fertile than any land in Nigeria, secondly you said SS but you forgot igbo nation make up more than 60% of the so called SS eg what is the name of river state governor or the governor elect of delta state, thirdly you made mention of of two individuals over ladipo market, those two individuals and other individuals you can name got their money with the affiliation of government but those guys in ladipo made genuine money with no govt support, igbos have the upper class and the middle class but yoruba and hausas have the upper class and the almajiri class. Guy is high time you stop living in another people's shadow and fend for your self. Go to the village of those people you mentioned you will see rag tag people everywhere, illiterates, touts, pregnant children let me name but a few, but those traders you see at ladipo takes good care of their families train one or two people from their village in school, help in fixing roads, fix light, provide water etc from little they have, that is why you will hardly see a family without a graduate or an undergraduate in igbo land. The greatest mistake Nigeria is making is holding igbos down, igbo is the root of development in Nigeria, and when the root withers what happens to the branches? You answer that.

emeka2847:
Does it make investment sense? Seriously. Pls let's stop being sentimental.

Yes, before the war almost all the igbo companies manufacturing, automobile, textiles, shipping etc, was in the east, it was this same government that closed our borders in the east, making the country look like a dump, the only reason why Nigeria has not developed is because it is holding the igbos down thereby suppressing its own development, igbo is nigerian China innovative in every angle.

mulattoclaro:
The igbos are a bunch of bloody town-criers who always cry of marginalization whereas they're the most tribalistic tribe in Nigeria. Biafra would have been the worst entity if it had come into existence. The average igbo man or woman is very greedy. Abia, Ebonyi, Imo and Anambra are an eyesore and that would have reflected the true nature of the so called biafra republic. Ndigbo as an organization is a big joke. MASSOB is the biggest joke of all considering their push for biafra. Yeebos sha. Yeebos and greed are like siamese twins. Thank God for not making an igbo person.

You are a disgrace to your people, igbos don't need disgrace and cowards.

DukeNija:
And you had to bring this to the front page because it has Igbo in it right? Who is Etcetera or what ever his name is. A failed artist talks about Igbo people and it makes front page. God go punish una

You are living in pain, go out and get some air.

Chinom:
This article said nothing. I cannot figure out the essence of this garbage posted here. It was just intended to draw traffic to NL.

If could not figure out the essence of the message that means you are living a worthless life, because is either you could not read or your comprehending capabilities has withered away. No offense intended.

peppyluv02:
Blasting them with pen and paper..
Why not to their face..
Didn't bother reading thou

You are really an illiterate and lazy girl, when nelson mandela was in prison people that wrote and the people that sang didn't go to fight the white but their message was effective, apc never came out to fight pdp they knew if they do, they wouldn't win so they used propaganda with the help of media houses and it worked for them there are so many more, so read and comprehend before you comment.

ALKARULEZZ:
Dude is trying as much as possible to remain relevant

He is relevant, he is trying to educate those who are not. I know he is not relevant to you because he didn't write that igbos should go and prostrate to the yorubas or pay homage to the hausas. Guy come out from your closet and see the light.

DesChyko:
Shame on the preson who presented this topic.
Is it now a forgotten fact that in Igbo land, every man is a king unto himself?
Instead of hide behind a pen to whine like a sick dog, become what you feel is non-existent.
I'm tired of reading pointless articles.

the fact that igbos are kings unto themselves is the main reason why igbos are succeeding in every sector education, business, shipping, entertainment etc, igbos dont just stay and wait for one man to get rich so that they can live by his name, if care is not taken if i ask you who you are you will tell me my brother is, I asked about you not your brother. Being a king unto yourself means that you are sufficient unto yourself and you can contribute your little to the society.

slap1:
His argument is riddled with holes.


This is very presumptuous. I don't know where people get this idea from, but Ojukwu was not the leader of Ndigbo. You could say he was a big influence on many Igbo people, not the leader of the entire Igbo.

Etcetera has written some good stuffs, but this is myopic and off point.

And you think in your mind that without ojukwu biafra would have come together and fought for good 3 years without external support? Guy he was a leader and a good one at that.

Airforce1:
mad man

who is mad is he who wrote or you who could not comprehend.

It will always be a particular region that will be spoiling the name of the country, just like boko haram, fulani cattle rearers killings, religious killing in the north they will tag it nigeria, spoiling the country's name.

driand:
it's not only people who help people and broadcast it that help people, and we have different capacities and you can only help within your capacity, and the little you do in your capacity can change another man's life, think?

In the Catholic Church there is a society called St Vicente DE Paul it's duty is to reach out to the poor and the needy from its purse gathered from society members and their own voluntary collection box, I know of a friend who had an accident and needed funds for surgery at Lagos state university teaching hospital, St Vicente de Paul supported him with 100k without broadcasting it,

That is what christ taught us and we are expected to live by his examples and principles that's what makes us Christians,

you talked about someone they helped and you knew that means many other people will still know, and listen prophet tb Joshua is not doing it as an individual or as an organisation, he is doing it as a church collectively, people believe on what they see, so he have to broadcast it to entice more people to give towards it.

driand:
Mathew 6:3 But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:

Now we are all free to believe what ever we like, but I'm not in support of giving in front of a world wide broadcast,

The Bible verse I quoted is frg mchrist him self, whom we seek to imitate, anything outside that count me out.

And does he care to explain the death of close to 200 people on his church? a death toll that much without a public apology and you are here telling us about love. God will judge you.

the question is how many times have you helped people in need without wanting payback, and another thing nobody prays for natural disasters or accidents, if any body knows when it will happen people that died in bellview or sosoliso, or people that dies almost every year from earthquakes in China or land slides, ship mishaps etc. Guy just think before typing because sometimes your opinion can make you sound foolish. No offense intended.

andresia:
Raabbish!


Chai! Children of anger are just quoting me and insulting their fadas!

These simpletons expect so little from their leaders and if they do dat little, they shower these mediocre leaders of theirs with encomiums.

Should or could GEJ have done otherwise than concede defeat? Noooo!

So why all these stories of martyrdom or heroism?

take it or leave it Jonathan is a patriot and a hero with all the irregularities that accompanied the election he still conceded defeat, Obasanjo will not do it, even the illiterate certificateless president elect will not do it even if nigeria will burn. How many coppers did you hear died after the election ZERO, so he is not only my hero but your hero as well, because you might have died if violence broke out.

iyanbuko:
What u fail to realize is that,these human killers are not human being,is just unfortunate that they are claiming to be Muslims. You don't have to be so angry to the extends of insulting a whole messenger of GOD.I hope you will seek for forgiveness for that.Prophet Muhammed has never told us to take a life and he emphasized respect for women alot. It is so unfair of you.

your prophet is opposite of everything you wrote

Guy focus on your life and stop this gibberish.

SLIDEwaxie:
The good thing is, they call us coward, but na only Yoruba people dey face these people. Out Igbo brothers just dey throw threats like spear...

Yorubas and Fulani's don dry clash since time memorial. But as much as dem kill igbos reach, na mouth!

We go retaliate, we go throw bomb, we go finish u, we go erase u...

Like fela said, "i go beat u die", na shakara.

fulani man can only kill an igbo man in the north and go free, not in igbo land but the yoruba reverse is the case.

These women have president jonathan to thank for this because he is the only president who have given women relevance in nigerian politics, well I see all of them fading away once buhari takes position because northerners don't regard women as anything, they only see them as reproduction machine.

VIPERVENOM:
More like wike's compound celebrating. They're not even up to 15. A small street is now ph. May wike handle rivers state d way he handled asup strike. Say amen

you are just being childish, may buhari handle Nigeria the way they have handled the northern part of the country since independence say amen. Hypocrite.

Politics of tribalism and backwardness in the SS/SE.




https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/abarimon.jpeg

when apc wins its not backward, guy grow up and use your head, apc can't win everywhere.

Islam is synonymous with hatred and bitterness, anywhere peace is preached too much, know that that place don't know peace, they should start preaching love, and they should know that no matter the religionw we are all human being.

This man complement his name lie, I am in ibeju lekki now and everything is going on calmly. And what is his concern if wike have 5 million soldiers or do they have plan to kill him?

Rahmatuparker:
It cud b small body size but she doesn't look under 18 to me.

does any girl look underaged to you guys up there? as far as she can give birth animals in human skin.

abduljabbar4:
For your mind she is below 18

yes she is bellow 18 and she have children, you ppl are too myopic

holatin:
and here comes one of the brainless twerp who post anti religion and anti ethnic comment on NL.
go play kids

examine your word and know who is the kid tout.

Very soon homosexuality will come back to nigeria, because Obama is not supporting buhari for nothing. And Buhari will do anything for that position.

holatin:
The suspects in custody include Haruna Ibrahim
(27), Abubakar Abdullahi (37), Sunday Selbon Melven
(27), Onyedika Okafor (25), Lawal Sule (28), Bello
Mohammed (29), Bello Musa Shehu (25). They were
said to hail from Sokoto, Kebbi, Bauchi, Gombe,
Kano, Plateau and Enugu State.

Thank God they all of them are not northern,if they are the likes of buddahpalm, tonychristopher, oremusantus and co for don deface this thread with their tribalism and ethnic bigotry statement.


Say no to tribalism
say no to religion fanatic

you are just being childish, how many northerners and how many igbo are there, what do you think it would have been the igbos fate if it was to be in the North, igbos respect rule of law that was why you saw this on news, and if care is not taken that igbo fellow is affiliated to islamism.

Apc members dont mind that man o, when he say stop better start running because that is what he meant in disguise, he said you should defy curfew but he is at home taking ac and his children abroad, you will only die while he remain spokesman.
