Prof Corruption:

Stop empty chest beating. You have three international airports in the East yet your sons are using Lagos and Abuja airports? Onitsha is the largest trade centre in Africa yet Lagos GDP is almost at par with that of entire East? Who is the Mumu now?

You will never learn. Empty chest beating does not get the job done.

have you used omagwa airport before in ph ? ignorance is disease ,save yourself

whitecat007: No amount of propaganda will help divert crowd to the book. we all know nothing good comes out of iboland, you ibos have perfected the art of lying.

achebe is a world brand that sells itself, the book will outsell things fall apart and will be translated in more than 50 languages this time around,schebe will break his own record which i doubt if anyother nigerian will attain except maybe chimamanda adichie

Prof Corruption:

Eeyah, sorry! Continue your dominance! When kasala bubbles and the nation called Nigeria unravels, you lose everything. That time you blame it on Yoruba again. Hold your leaders responsible.

Build an international airport in the East. Build a free trade zone there!. Get a political platform for the region, don't join a national party. Nigeria is not a nation. Have a back up to fall back on if you can't get the center. DOn't play victim, play smart.

bla bla bla ignorant mumu you ndont know we have 3 international airports in igboland. onitsha remains the largest trade centre in africa . yoruba ignorance knows no boundry .

My 5years old niece has far better IQ that yours. So you could uplift a bias tribal site like nairaland but can not speak of a site that sees no tribalism and also put Naijas in positive spotlight? You must be really fat,smelly and sweaty....lol..."strategic" that word got me laughing and sametime farting...lol...I would rather live my stinky Dustbin in my house that you scumbag

hahahahaha dont mind them , at times i wonder if its their food, ever wonder why seun have never been recognised or mentioned in public because no body want to associate with tribalist website like this. other blog owner are celebrated all accross nigeria and africa for promoting nigerians and africans in general.

how many nairalander are proud to tell their friends that they are memeber here or share their topics on facebook ? i guessed as much

Prof Corruption:

Igbo with bad logic. So Igbo people on this forum are not paranoid and filled with hatred?
Learn to be honest!

yorubas are the ones paranoid, if you where not i dont see the reason for starting the tribal bashings. stay on your lane. if you were not paranoid and bitter you wnt come out everyday to cry about how igbos are dominating you in lagos.

Rossikk:

That mode of thinking is a recipe for disaster. Civilized societies welcome and entertain variety of opinion. Pre-colonial Igboland was one such society, as Achebe's books clearly illustrated.



Two points:

1) Assuming there was a ''heat of the moment'', in which everyone was losing their heads (there wasn't), the Igbos deserved a clear, level-headed, thoughtful leadership at the helm to guide the peoples' actions. Instead, it seems, we got a mob enforcer.

2)There was no ''heat of the moment'' relating to the secession declaration. The declaration of secession occurred 8 months after the Sept 1966 massacre in the north, for which it was alleged to be a response.



Be honest. The coup was led by predominantly Igbo officers with Nzeogwu at the helm. Even pro-Biafran scholars do not dispute this fact. The outcry in the north was that these officers had killed northern and western leaders in a supposedly national coup while sparing all the Igbo politicians, many of whom those northerners also regarded as corrupt and decadent. The Igbo-led Ironsi military regime which had taken office failed to bring the perpetrators to justice for 7 months into its administration, despite repeated demands from around the country. (It was afterall a criminal offence to slaughter the prime minister, northern and western premiers in cold blood). Obviously some northern elite took advantage of this popular outrage at the Sardauna's death and govt inaction, and used same to unleash mayhem against the Igbos living in the region.



My brother, let's call a spade a spade. The Igbo leadership screwed up. You would not be yarning all this stuff had Igbos won that war. Who would remember what Awo said or didn't say if Igbos had won the war? You see, your musings are the musings of a defeated man. A defeated person. You need to step out of that cage, and reclaim your power back from Awo and the FG. You've given them the power over Igbo lives and destiny which they do not deserve. We gain more dignity by questioning our internal mechanisms and how they might have served us better.

crawl back into your ibadan cave

Prof Corruption:

You are dull, slow and daft! What are you celebrating in a rumor mongering blogs? What's Bella Naija? Can't you use your brain and think something good for once? Is bella naija as strategic as Nairaland even in propaganda value? What can you achieve with Bella naija other than the revenues for the owner?
Fool, think deeply and be a man of strategy for once in your life.

What's Iroko TV? It's business for the man and has nothing to do with uplifting your miserable life. I am currently roving with an Igbo chic with good batty. I don't hate Igbo but I hate bad lies. Tell Achebe to be a good man. Enough said.

and what have you achieve in nairaland other than revenue forseun, if anything nairaland have indeed exposed yorubas the more.

alj harem:

Just as the british search for greener pasture in Nigeria. My guy use your brains

the same way igbos in yorubaland, now you see how dumb you all are mr brain

Eziachi:
If he did, why throw Aburi accord into the Lagoon and advised very young and in-experience Gowon against it?

dont mind him ,common sense is not always common

Speaking at a recent Leadership Newspapers Awards event held at Abuja and reported by Thisday Newspaper of September 19th 2012, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar reportedly stated as follows.

“[size=20pt]I want to recall that during the 1994-95 Constitutional Conference, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, the Second Republic vice-president of this federation, introduced and canvassed for the concept of geopolitical zones.

“I was among those who opposed it because I thought that Ekwueme, coming from the defunct Republic of Biafra, wanted to break up the country again.

“Now, I realise that I should have supported him because our current federal structure is clearly not working. Dr. Ekwueme obviously saw what some of us, with our civil war mindset, could not see at the time. There is indeed too much concentration of power and resources at the centre.

“And it is stifling our march to true greatness as a nation and threatening our unity because of all the abuses, inefficiencies, corruption and reactive tensions that it has been generating.
[/size]
“There is need, therefore, to review the structure of the Nigerian federation, preferably along the basis of the current six geopolitical zones as regions and the states as provinces.

“The existing states structure may not suffice, as the states are too weak materially and politically to provide what is needed for good governance.”








God indeed have blessed igbo leaders with wisdom and foresight but our fellow nigerian are too tribalistic to see that .

alj harem:

I think you are new thus don't my position. First of all Achebe wrote a lie but regardless I could careless. We are working on it my brother.

whenever your caught lying you start preaching one nigeria, chameleon smh

sbeezy8:

errr Iunno bout that one. Igbo choose to live outside igboland for their own benefit. But what is in Igboland for non igbos? If it were attractive many non igbos would live in igboland.

But cameroonians dont even live in igboland, where as you find beninoise,togolese,ghanaian etc living in Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, and You find Chad,Nigeriens Malians in the north.

ignoramus have you been to the south east? go and ask the non igbos living there including the yorubas what is in store for them .

alj harem:

Is that all ? Surly you have some more so tell us

The ability for your region to be muliti-ethnic shows the mind set and progress of your people.

There is not advance country, region, place, community and town in the world that is not muliti-ethnic and plans to progress.

Yes you build better houses, have better cars etc but can you call those places your place ? The answer is NO if your are truthful to yourself.

Houses would fade away so would cars but what legacy have you left for your unborn generations ? HATE, DISTRUST OTHERS ETC Just as your fathers have impacted into you all. I mean see the rubbish some of you are typing ?

i dont know of any state in nigeria that is not multi ethnic but if lagos is what you are using to measure then you are an idiot, is lagos more multi ethnic than onitsha, ph ,aba? ewu nama

Prof Corruption:

So the hard earned money can not be made in Anambra? You must be the greatest fool on Earth.

we make it everywhere igboland ,yorubaland, hausaland, it comes with being at the top of the food chain.

Bashr3 I dey wait

your a confused little boy , your the only one that dont know that biafran and international organisations where bringing in supplies in the middle of the night ,flying very low to avoid radar and dropping the supplies from the sky from where they are picked up and distributed. ignorance is a disease . biafra and russia supplied heavy arms and tanks to nigeria while egypt took care of the airfoce which where responsible for bombing farms, redcross, hospitals, churches , its al on the internet slowpoke, it is known that britain supplied more weapons to nigeria than what what used during world war 2 , am fed up with your stupidity its no longer funny.

Rossikk:

You can take your illiterate idiocy and stick it where the sun don't shine. Thank your lucky stars YOU weren't among the millions of nameless Igbos in villages, slaughtered for no reason that could not be addressed through more humane, thoughtful actions by the Igbo leadership. What do you know about war? Have you ever been in a war? You think it's to come on NL and insult in Igbo? That's the easy part. The path of the spoon-fed middle classes. War for you means nothing, because you know you will always be among the middle classes who can declare war and run away when things get pear-shaped, leaving millions of nameless Igbo villagers to perish in burning villages. Did you or your mother ask any of those victims if they wanted to die in a war?

shut up there stinking pig , ekwensu kpo gi oku . onye ara

omayyi :
Personally I'd tell Achebe and the ibos to go 4k themselves. These guys are whiners and they blame everyone for their woes and mistake. They've had an e-fight with almost every ethnic group in Nigeria. Why anyone takes them serious I'd never understand, lol.

Btw, nice job Prof corruption

achebe will not f himself but hawolowo have already 4ked himself by drinking poison.

alj harem:

did achebe lie or not ? confused chameleon

alj harem:

You tell us how the Igbo man progress more than the Yorubas or hausas

oh so hausas and yorubas are progressing more than the igbos? i laugh in idoma

Chimanet: hw i wish i can delete these guy mouth like two 2 ended sword from nairaland. today am igbo, 2mrow hausa, later itshekiri, now yoruba. guy u no dey shame?

the guy get mental issues, he is known for lying , re-writting history and peoples culture, ignore the chameleon.

Chimanet: please can a some1 tell me how yorubas are progressing more than igbos in current nigeria?

am wondering ooo.

alj harem: Igbos are known betrayers so need I say more, any yoruba arguing with these bunch of people is wasting his time. Just laugh at their stu.pidity and move on cuz they are the most selfish and self centred beings on earth

but yorubas have been justifying it all these while but at the same time mad at igbos and achebe for pointing it out so who is confused?

Real-Mccoy:

Glad you justified the Awo war you have been lying about for the past few threads. Awo is now a war hero? LMAO. Awo was given an award in corrupt Nigeria........Hahaha
OBJ won a peace price in naija also....lol....You are truly a class clown

dont mind them they have been justifying it but at the same time mad at achebe for pointing it out, they are just confused.

shymexx:

Stay laughing at your own stupidity, it's only a matter of time before another religious crisis engulfs the North...

And I sincerely hope you'd be smiling then as well, prick..

there is war and crisis already in the north but this time they are killing themselves, everyday new trailers of northerners arrive enugu i wonder how many more arrive at other states in the south.

Prof Corruption:

So if a burial is televised, it's now a state burial? foools
Who told you that of Awolowo was not televised? He brought the first TV station to Africa you know.
So if some Yoruba leaders attended the burial, that automatically made it a state burial? You are not bright!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. We gave validation for your actions. That's why you have to quote Tinubu. Efulefu

It's a big deal because the man you claimed was given state burial had nothing named after him by Nigeria. It's strange, world over you see monuments named after heroes. What has been named after Ojukwu?

nobody even knows when awolowo died but we all know how and why he died.

shymexx:

You and your co-travellers are the ones who post the silly pictures - not all Nigerians... And the killing spree in the name of religion only happens in the North, not the South - so, why can't everyone spit the same venom against them? They also committed the counter coup, pogroms, and started the war against your people - when are you going to start attacking them?? The enemy isn't Yoruba people - your enemies are up North across the River Niger!!

Maybe, if you guys don't go about claiming you own 80% of other people's ancestral homelands, they won't get bitter... It's a two-way thing - the blame game is boring now... Both Igbos and Yoruba's are guilty!!

elrufai mentioned the 70 percent of abuja and lagos state govt mentioned the 40 percent. you still dont get it , achebe criticized everybody including ojukwu, gowon , obasanjo the british , nzeaogwu in the book ,it is your brothers that are making awolowos own a big deal. when it was posted rather than yorubas counter it or insult him they started insulting igbo people and you expect us to clap for them.

shymexx:

Thank you, brother...

Angola fought a bloody 20+ years civil war against world powers and Apartheid South Africa... However, they have moved on to prosperity - and their econmy is currently one of the best in Africa... We need to move on!!

Our founding fathers were all power hungry tribalists - it's time to forget about those clowns and forge ahead...

i dont see angolans posting pictures of children that died in their war , justifying it and making fun of them . angolans dont go on killing spree against each other all in the name of religion, angolans dont get bitter that other angolans are buying lands, building houses and going about their buisness in any part of nigeria. the only thing nigerian need is to stop deceiving themselves that they are one.

Prof Corruption:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Do you know the meaning of state burial? Why don't you read before spewing ignorance?
Babangida directed that state burial be given to Awolowo and was handled by the western states.
Immediately, the University of Ife was name after him.

Who will ever name a piece of $h!t after Ojukwu?

Nigerian senate even rejected any idea of state burial for Ojukwu. You obviously don't understand what state burial entails. Efulefu

and show me one yoruba man that have gotten the type of burial ojukwu got, yoruba leaders where all killed by the north ,the rest buried in a hurry.

pluto04:

No he is not. He was not. War crimes are always committed by only losers of a war. You cannot charge anyone on Nigeria's side for war crime because they won. War is not childs play and the cost can be great. That is why you need to be prepared before starting one. I personally think Nigeria was very magnanimous for not charging (and pursuing) Ojukwu and all those that helped him including Achebe (propaganda chief aka Joseph Goebels) for war crimes for causing the death of over 2 Million Nigerians (including that of the so called biafrans)through a needless war.

I think Gowon was very naive for not pursuing the war criminals and for declaring 'No Winner, No Vanquished' after the war. If he had not been so naive, we wont be having these silly conversations!

gowon was naive for not implementing aburi accord and anyone that supports him is a dummy just like you.toay the same dummies like you and all the yorubas here are crying to be free .
