lol.bt d south easterners will never accept this, they will tell u is nt an igbo coup.i swear that coup was the genesis of nigeria problem that coup was not needed at all.

They claim it was not an Igbo coup but a coup dominated by Igbos, masterminded by Igbos with only other tribes as foot soldiers should be called what? Help me ask them.

Their original plan was to lay siege in all 3 regions and take over power but why was no single gun shot heard in the Eastern region but they lay siege in the 2 other regions, killing their premiers and top military leaders? Help me ask them.

Why did Zik choose to travel on his vacation around that time and was due to return home weeks before the coup and never returned? Well we already know Ifeajuwa (one of the masterminders of the coup) was his cousin.

am an edo man,my grandfather despise igbos alot,befor his demise he told us he pray an igbo man will never rule nigeria becos of the atrocity they commit against ss during the civil war he also criticise the selective killing that characterise the first military coup.

History will forever remember the founding fathers of Igbo origin, Azikiwe, Ironsi and Nzegwu as the originator of Nigeria's problem. They will never admit it to it but that is the truth. Their greed by truncating a working system to suit them is what we are suffering for now in the hands of the Northerners.

Many Nigerians are still very stupid, after the 2015 election, Buhari was the last hope for Nigeria to get better, but as it is now with his imcopentency best is to overhaul this system and create a people constitution. Other than that, no election at all levels till the constitution is rewritten.

Don't let any fool persuade you again, they are all the same, even if the person is a good man, the system as it is will make him evil so let's change the system first.

The group is not possible sef according to FIFA ranking why because the 3 other teams except for Nigeria belong to the Port 1. You can only take one from each Port.

True. I believe that a party shouldn't be totally dependent on the other. In a home, I believe in supporting each other financially, domestically etc
He doesn't need to have 100 million before he is okay. Just financially okay to have a home. That's it.
Happy Sunday.

Yes matured response...Happy Sunday to you as well.

Some people will not like this. I cannot marry a LAZY poor man. Even if I don't pity myself, I pity my children. Money is very essential. Love will not provide for us.
Before you come for my head, I am not advocating for laziness on the woman's part. Be successful yourself and have a successful man. Nobody should draw each other back

I understand what you women want,which is comfort and good life but remember that not every man will be rich, so does that mean you guys won't marry at all. Even the bible says in the end time, there will be women willing to cater for themselves and their children they just want to bare the man's name and have a husband.

I also believe Everyman should strive hard to meet basic needs and leave the rest to God. The truth is not everyone will be rich in this life.

My own is how do they plan to crave out a state from that small land mass in the South East, except they call for Border readjustment to get the parts of Igbo speaking in the SS to be with their kins in the SE. I dont think it makes sense to carve out a Local government in the SE to become a state.

Apart from landmass, population wise,half if not more of Igbos are leaving outside the SE and 4 - 5 states in Nigeria is almost or bigger the size of the entire SE.

Ghanaians dey craze o, why this Jealousy now,na we say make una no qualify for World Cup.

No we don't. We are the best drivers in the world

I am a Lagos driver as well I don't think we are the best drivers, we are just simply crazy drivers.

Lagos drivers need this advice the most.

olodo!!! what if pple using iphone8 already have these investment?? pls use ur brain!!!

Una no dey read that's your problem, didn't you see where he said he wasn't advising people who earn enough but people who aren't earning too much but will gather all their savings to buy IPhone 8.

Most people that commented are dullards, they didn't read what the OP wrote, he wasn't advising people who have more than enough money, he is advising people who aren't earning too well but gather all their savings to go buy the IPhone 8.

IPhone 7 is still selling for around 380k that's 1k dolls so I think the IPhone 8,8plus should be around 1k5-2k dollars that should be around 500k plus that's enough money to buy land in places in Ogun bordering Lagos.

Good advice from the OP if you ask me.

These IPOB guys are very greedy and wicked, you say Nigeria is a forced marriage and you want out of it. Instead you are still trying to force other minority tribes to marry you as well in your Biafra.

That is why I don't see Biafra agitation as a genuine cause. If you truly want biafra go with your five states and igbo lands within Rivers and Delta states and stop trying to force the minorities who you will also marginalize in your Biafra.

It is because of their Oil that is why you want them,you have nothing in common,you only share borders with them, the same evil you accuse Nigeria of is the same evil you want to do to these minorities.

The Old Eastern region is no more so face your Biafra alone.

Igbos are good people but you people should learn to stop boasting what you are not. In my street here in Ikeja not one Igbo man own a house here, they only rented. You own houses here in Lagos but it definitely cannot be up to what the Yoruba's have, Yoruba's are silent achievers they believe if they are to be praised, it is outsiders who will praise them not Self-praising and boasting like Igbos do.

Abi ooo


Before lagos,yoruba people single handedly built the west african largest city IBADAN in their interland.I read it somewhere that ibadan was the only niger area society described as city by flora shaw,lord lugard wife,when she stepped on niger area soil.so,building something greater than Ibadan beside atlantic ocean will not be difficult for them!

Pre-colonial era, there was just two cities in Africa, Cario and Ibadan the only two cities, the colonialist met in Africa.

muykem:
Very simple, just pronounce it illegal and anybody caught will loose his certificate.

It has always been Illegal, that is not new because the authorities can't detect it. They use a somebody else's name with a Doctor's license working in private practise as registration name so they can easily get away with it.

Only the whistle blower act can help the Ministry of Health to achieve this.

Is it possible to Ban it? Many of them do it in secrecy,so it is almost impossible to detect such doctors, except the Whistle blowing act extends to defaulting doctors at well.

Even the bible said it that, the sins of the father will be meted on the Sons meaning the greed of those Igbo leader who believe the Igbo tribe is a superior tribe (as Nnamdi Azikiwe boasted while giving a speech to his kins men) and must be the one to rule over others is what led to what the Igbos are suffering politically in Nigeria today.

The question is why did the Igbo majority coup plotters not kill a single Igbo leader either military or civilian? Since they said they wanted to reed the country of corrupt politicians, does it mean only other tribe leaders were corrupt and deserved to die?

The lay siege in the West and North but not a single gun shot in the East.

According to military law all over the world, coup plotters must be court martialled, why did Gen Ironsi not Court martial the coup plotters? but kept them in Eastern prisons.

These and many more is the questions begging to be answered but no single Igbo person has been able to give an answer to these questions.

I am not excusing the Barbaric act of the Northerners for the ethnic cleansing they did on the Igbos but Igbos of today should understand the Civil War all started with greed and quest for power of their past leaders.

The North should forgive the Igbos, the Igbos should forgive the North and let bigon by bigons.

ojlifa:
I do not have time to do all the research all over again but you can read some on this site.also go to the.nigerian national achieve,equally check nigerian army achieve.it was almost three years work plus account of officers eho served in the army at the time and took part in events.

Your story isn't exactly right. The Sardauna is Ahmadu Bello the Premier of Northern region, in your text you were referring to Tafawa Balewa the Prime Minister as Sardauna.

Yorubas never warned Awolowo to leave the country because he was in prison so he wasn't even marked for death.

But you are right the greed of Igbo leaders both Military and Politicial leaders then is what Igbos Now are paying for Politically today in Nigeria.

1freshdude:
Money is valuable because it is relatively scarce, the level of productivity in a country is always put into consideration before taking this decisions, else money loses value, it becomes worthless and an alarming inflation ensues. Zimbabwe is a good example of what printing more money in the face of very low output can cause.

Exactly, what I was going to say but to expaintiate more in lay terms, if you produce products and services worth $1m dollars and you print $5m dollars that means you are putting too much money in the hands of individuals for $1m dollars worth of productivity, this will now bring about inflation. Because the seller knows you now have money he will charge you whatever he offers(either goods or services)5X more so the cost of goods and services will sky rocket and inturn devalues your local currency. It simply an economics principle.

This egbira people!!!

They are not egbira o, they are Yoruba Okun people of Kogi state.

You guys are always crying foul, did you notice there is only one project for the South-West out of 25? But when the drunken Master was there, nobody was making noise.

Don't mind them, they have 4 road project under sukuk bond which is an Islamic funding( a religion they love to hate) just one for the SW, if na the other way round dem no go allow us sleep, na marginalization song we for don dey hear now.

I think a Kevin Debruyne,Dzeko,Benzema should not be on the list ahead of Alexis Sanchez,considering club and country performance Sanchez is way ahead of those guys.

dometome:
This type of thinking is exactly why this country will remain the way it is. The hate against Nnamdi Kanu is a product of the tribalism I earlier talked about. The best is just to go and look for another country's passport.

See this nigga trying to portray Nnamdi Kanu the known tribalist number one in Nigeria as a Nigerian revolunist, he is fighting for the Biafran cause not the emancipation of the Nigerian people in general.

Don't quote me if you can't prove me wrong.

PrecisionFx:
The Salary of the American president is around 400k USD which is small, But salary and take home ain't the same.

The salary of Nigerian politicians are also small, I remember some years ago governors in nigeria earned 1 million naira per month as salary.

All politicians worldwide have small salaries, but bribes, allowances, cornering of funds meant for some projects, inflation of projects costs n stuffs like that is where they make mega money from.

Don't be fooled that an American president makes 33k USD per month, don't even go there.


Politicians are a worldwide problem, they are all known as thieves.

At least the remuneration of public office holders is out in the open for the public's knowledge and they accept for them to earn such pay. Besides the pay they earn is in tangent with the economy and the standard of living of the Average American but the same cannot be said about the Nigerian public office holders who earn so very much renumerations compared to the economy and standard of living of the average Nigerian.

dometome:
No they are not, it is tribalism, Nnamdi Kanu presented a unique opportunity for a revolution, but because na my brother dey there, we could not key into his movement, it is clear that the average hausa and Yoruba man are also suffering, I think the best thing you people should have done is to collectively tell Nnamdi Kanu at least pay him a visit and tell him that you understand his anger and frustration and you don't approve of what is happening in this country, then go back and immidiately start a sort of revolution, Buhari cannot be fighting Boko Haram, Niger delta Militants IPOB, and more importantly the youthful revolutionary masses at the same time and win, the northerners that visited Nnamdi kanu initially, go and watch the video and listen very carefully you will see that he is not actually against Nigeria and per a country but he wants to see people rallying round to effect changes, as charity begins at home, he started in his own home, and you and I know very well that the only thing that can move an Igbo man to actions without pay is Biafra. Unfortunately the opportunity is flying by.

That is not how to start a revolution, by fighting for your own people only, he is fighting for Biafra not a good governance revolution, Nigerians are ready to back any individual regardless of his tribe to execute this revolution, tu-face was going to start it, all youths from different tribes stood with him initially before he tracked back.

Nnamdi is a Biafran revolutionist not a Nigerian revolutionist stopped twisting facts.

It was a tight decision but if one looks very closely it was an offside besides even if it wasn't an offside, is it today such mistakes happen in football and we all accept it and go our way.

Even the Bible has given us the solution to our problem which is to take what rightfully belong to us by force by violence. Nothing will change in this country not even another idiot coming in the next election to lie to us. If things must change in Nigeria, we need to overhaul the whole system by violent revolution and rebuild our political space with entirely different set of people and laws.

The Police, Army are the ones in btw the masses and the politicians preventing us from achieving this revolution even though they are the most affected earning peanuts as salary and guarding this politicians who do nothing to earn such ridiculous pay.

WisdomFlakes:
In other words, the only way Nigeria can have peace would be for Yorubas to play the mumu, while Igbos would be allowed to perpetually rule the rest of us because they feel Chukwu Okike Obiama has created them to be superior and better than the rest of us and be at the driver's seat. Of course the Hausa-Fulanis won't allow or have none of that because of their own 'born-to-rule' tendencies. Meaning that, even if Yorubas willingly choose to play the mumu role, Hausa and Igbos will continue to remain at each other's throat as they currently are because Igbos will claim they deserve every position based on 'merit' since they are 'superior' and better than anyone else anyway, while the abo.kis who feel that Nigeria is 'Allah's gift' to them would never permit that.

Why not just break up this country so that everybody will be a king in his father's house or compound? That way the igboman can restrict his 'superiority' to his domain, the Hausa-Fulani can claim his 'Allah's gift' in his Northern country, and the Yorubaman would finally be free to live his life and develop in peace

The question now is who is willing to divide the country? No President wants Nigeria to balkanize under his rule, so until we sit on a round table and hold a constitutional Sovereign Conference and include a referendum vote in the constitution to determine our breakup up or our union, I don't see any president allowing the country to break up.

NwaChibuzor2:
85% of that money is supposed to go to our wonderful son from Biafra, Alex Iwobi. He made this possible for that country called Nigeria.

You Igbos are too Clannish, when our daughter Asisat Oshoala was firing in goals from all cylinders for the super falcons, did you hear any Yoruba person say she is a daughter of Oduduwa instead Nigerian? I don't think Iwobi even knows anything called Biafra.

I do not always believe Igbos are more pro-one Nigeria because they are everywhere in the country doing business and trading. By virtue of their enterprise, they need a huge market, that is why they have spread across the west African sub-region and other parts of the world not really because they are pro-one Nigeria.
Igbos are good people,only that they believe they are better than everyone else and should be in the driving seat of things which is where they are getting it wrong and been sidelined by the two other major tribes

Yoruba on the other hand is more interested in his own interest and getting his fare share out of the Nigerian system and would form alliance with anybody that he feels will offer him a fair deal, because in 2015 formed an alliance with the North doesn't make them a betrayal of the southern alliance or a slaves to the North. They are just looking out for their interest.

The North on the other hand would never agree to the Igbos dominating and believe Allah has favoured them to lead Nigeria and so lead every other tribe in Nigeria. Even if it is means by violence they believe it is Allah's gift to them and the wish of their father Utman Dan fodio.
