Ibos are nothing but thieves.... Leeches.. Parasites... Grasshoppers.... Trouble formentors.... World class Monsters and petty bandits of a tribe... U can call them Witty enterprising and dogged but I see them as dirty shyloctic schemers... Cunny bastards and rogues in borrowed garments...All dis hullabalo u see dose pests rasing in form of monikers nd usernames been created everywhere is to whip up a sentiment and stir up gullible skulls to nudge nd sharpen up there primordial nd greedy instincts.... Very typical of an ibo Man.... Imagine nairaland owned nd Maintained by yoruba guys.. You Wont hear us making Noises or displaying bloated bragadoccio all over the Internet... Useless parasites

Your ramble did not address the points.
Both the North and the South West are for one indivisible Nigeria.
They are prepared to go to war for Nigeria to remain one.
98% of South South are against Biafra and do not support it.

What you want is Igbo country made up of 5 landlocked states surrounded entirely by Nigeria.
You don't stand snowball's chance in Hell.

Neither Ghana, South Africa, Kenya etc, nor Russia, Canada, UK etc are homogeneous.
They have dominant ethnic groups without the usual Ibo discordant chorus to break up Nigeria along tribal lines.
Nigeria has already fought a bloody war to remain one and is willing to do so again.

In your best interest and that of your tribe, forget this pipe-dream of Ibo own country!
Nigeria is here to stay and will be after you.

Racism
Nigerians are naturally racist. Yes I said so. I was at Ikoyi some few weeks back and a chinese man stopped by the road side to buy corn. The corn seller was like ''chinko wetin you wan buy''. Similarly, I was at maitama also and I boarded a taxi with an asian man. The Nigerian sitting next to him was like ''ching chong cho''. Looking confused, the asian guy replied him in english what he meant and the Nigerian said ''I just wan tell you sey make you shift for me''.

Electricity
If not that things are a bit getting better in Buharis' administration, Nigeria is one of those few countries in the world where you can get electricity for just five minuites and you'll be satisfied that at least ''NEPA'' brought light today.

Education
One thing I like Nigeria for is that they value education a lot. They even go ahead to say education is the best legacy . But remember, 70% of the most successful people in the world today don't even have a degree to their name.

Inferiority complex
If you want to be treated like a God, change your skin color to white and travel all the way to Nigeria. They'll treat you like royalty there.



Nollywood
The Nigerian film industry is highly prolific. They produce more than 200 movies a week. Thats even more than hollywood.

Football
Nigerians love football alot. They watch the game and they play the game. Little wonder I saw an owner of a viewing center buying a SUV. Well at least when I asked him how he managed to do so, he told me it was from his hard earned money. As per playing the game, you don't need a field or a goal post to play football in Nigeria. All you need is the round leather ball, a surface you can run on so far its not water and anything can make up for the goal post be it slippers, tyres or rocks. Not to mention the no rules policy, don't even try playing the ball just an inch above ground level, its not gonna count. Never try to annoy the owner of the ball coz its game over and everybody will go back to their respective homes.

Injustice
In Nigeria, once you are rich and you have a high status in the society, you can get away with anything yes and I said anything, even murder.

Religion
Nigeria to me is the most religious nation in the world after Jamaica

Giving birth
I've always wondered why 'naming ceremony' is always done 7 days after birth. Does it mean the child is nameless within those 7 days?

Discipline
Nigerian parents are known to have a high level of discipline which they try to embed on their children. I was at a friends house one day and this man threatened to 'stone' his son in the eye with the 'eba' he was eating. Not to mention mothers beating their kids with this
this and that stick they use in making 'amala'

Universities
Despite the country having a very poor academic system, I still wonder why their lecturers are being treated like a semi God. I was at one of their universities one day and a lecturer told a guy far older than him to carry his bags for him into his car. Their students fear these set of people alot and I keep wondering why.

Jealousy
Should I call it jealousy or what but if you are a young Nigerian and you became suddenly rich, they tag you as a 'yahoo boy'. If you are much older and you are rich they say you did 'blood money'.

NYSC
There is a scheme they call NYSC. Someone once boasted to me that he was very excited going to the camp because he was sure he was going to have s*ex for the first time. They see this as an avenue to explore and enjoy.

Beautiful People
Just like the lyrics of that chris brown's song said, everywhere I've been to in Nigeria, I saw beautiful people. they have a very vibrant youth life too.

Intelligence
Nigerians are very intelligent and smart too. They'll always find a way to cheat you no matter how you try to resist. Just be smart

Piracy
Nigerians unarguably have the highest piracy rates in the world. I watched a world cup final between germany and argentina some months ago and when I woke up the following morning, I saw the CDs' of that match being sold around in shops. How they managed to do still baffles me till date.

Humor
No doubt, Nigerians are the funniest set of people in the world. Their 'pidgen' language just puts the icing on the cake

Human Rights
Despite the positives, the country has a very poor human right recordf mainly from their military. Some military escort stopped me on the highway oneday and asked me why I refused to park my car and 'clear the road' while they were approached. He even threatened to spray my vehicle with bullets if i dare argue with him. Looking at his uniform, this dude was just a private in the military if not a recruit.

Alcohol
Nigeria has one of the highest alcohol consumption rates in the world and the numerous beer palours aren't helping matters at all.

Prostitution
Having s*ex cools the mind of an average Nigerian. at least that was what a friend once told me. Brothels allow men to have sex for as low as 1000 naira. Where I lived, it was as low as 500 naira. The place was called seven up. wonder whether it still exists till date.

Chest beating
One of the great Fela's song once said ' shakara oloje' which is very true. Its only in Nigeria where one low lifer threatens to lock you up in prison claiming you don't know who he is. An incident happened one day, someone locked up my goods in his one room face me i face you apartment because I was owing him some amount of money and told me to pay him back his money before he could release my goods. I broke his padlock to retrieve my goods and on top of that still claimed to get me arrested for breaking into his house to retrieve my own property. As a typical nigerian, I told this fellow I will deal with him in my own way because my goods was far more than the money he claimed I owe him. In Nigeria, everybody is a brother or sister to a military officer, everybody is a friend to the IGP, everybody has the power to lock you up in prison.

Guys and churches
I noticed guys mainly attend churches because of that chick they are eyeing. You can dispute me on this.

The shuffering and shmiling mentality
Nigerians can be quite funny. In a nut shell, they suffer and still smile at the same time. No doubt to the fact that they are already used to it.

Time
Nigerians are never ever true to time. an occassion is set for 9 am prompt, a typical Nigerian will arrive 11:45 am. Its in Nigeria where you leave for work 3 hours earlier than schedule and leave for home 3 hours later than schedule just to avoid 'go slow'.

In all, I'm still ever proud to be a Nigerian despite the negatives. If you ask many people out there whether they'll still like to be a Nigerian if there happens to be life after death, they'll say yes because this country is simply amazing.

This is indeed a great thread, I must confess. Please I am about to embark on the same "journey" in school as an ND1 student (fresher).

We resumed some months ago, and I also want to start giving career talks in the class, starting from tomorrow, but I am crippled by the fear of failure and what people (fellow students) would say.

Please advice me on this. Thanks.

May ur life be ruined by Hausa-Fulani trigger happy armed personal.

The idiot that shot him is resting in mortuary already.

HARDDON:


Totally mono cultured Binoconcave Len u wearing op, here let's illunimate ur mind:

1) guy tells a lady he can die for her....this is figurative although not necessary, this is What He actually means:
When a guy starve himself to make Sure she eats n cloth fine, is He not dying for her?
When he buys her a bottle of malt n manages pure water is it not death? When he uses his school fees to pay hers, n his feeding money to make her hair , is it not death? When he stands up to cultists to protect her, What other form of death is more daring?
So u see, a loving guy dies for his woman daily!

2) another point beclouded by narrow mind:
The heart has a mind of it's own n luv smiles from crazy Quaters. Gurls actually luv it when guys go out of their way to care. N As d saying goes, home is where d heart is. Pick the $1300 dollars' ticket If u may, who knows, she might just be the one. U wud be glad u did

3) he needs not say it, But he does If he is not tied to the Momma's aprom strings. Maximum, he spends 12 years with momma, But spends his remaining life with her....

4) Oh u didnt just say that!
Ladies love it when they are told these kinda stories it gives them assurance that he ain't gono go back to d said ex! N she wud also watch her ways not to roll on those lanes.
But I'm not d type to go dwelling on d past

All reasons are flawed op, next time pull d wool outa ya rule b4 u roll

EasternLion:


If you choose to die without getting freedom for your people and others, when u ought to lend a voice,ur case I can't begin to fathom.

You are foolish for using treason, are u insane?
When has secession become treason, are u that cowardly hopeless?
Look at who is talking, u can choose to die a coward, monkey, when things set in motion, I pray u bring ur ugly head and ignorant self out, becus people like u will be handled first before anything.
Getaway from me.

Getaway, may ur life be ruined by hausa Fulani cattle rearers.
