The writer is an opposition apologist and as usual came up with fictions to support his views. Most patriots know the fact that all these corrupt elements are doing all within their powers to make Buhari fail so that corruption will come back. It is our duty as citizens to make war against corruption succeed and maintained for at least 8 straight years.

demon. I asked u a simple question in anoda thread.. y should i vote buhari again in 2019.. answer with statistics... tell me how many convictions done so far

attackgat:
I dont care what the video is meant to achieve as long as they are not breaking the law. Wearing a beret with black clothing and taking salute is not against any known law

Another interesting thing is that the twitter handle @realfrankeze doesnt exist wats wrong with Yorubas. Why are u fighting biafra with all u got. U use nairaland, nation newspaper, joe igbokwe... everything u have to stop biafra... is that not the height of unity begging... u claim u want igbos to leave lagos.. this is ur chance.. support biafra

Organs:
Keep seeing things from your own viewpoint only. Boys brigade, NYSC, Boys Scout all have charters and are inaugurated by the law or ordinance of the land. These are all legitimate and established organizations. Now, Nnamdi kanu blatantly put together this miscreants lookiing threatening and all and you want to sincerely tell me if a judge says he is violating his bail conditions and orders his arrest for example, you think these hungry looking mofos will not put up resistance? Now guess what will happen, you know Nigerian Army is does not use tact or peaceful strategy, they will do the same thing they did with boko haram, shite etc, but again be ready, do not complain that its Buhari or fulani or muslim etc. Go now and ask shite in Zaria what the army did to them when they blocked a major highway and refused the passage to the COAS. Also, lots of soldiers said they were ready to remove their uniform and stop being soldiers if the COAS had turned back because they dont want to shoot, no way the zombie nigerian army do not operate like that. Its just "OPEN FIRE" dan borouba na dat time all these mouth wey you dey knack upandown go mechionu. So keep running your mouth, me i know it will not end well, and at the end nothing will happen, only idiots and fools and stubborn heads will just die for nothing, a lot of noise will be made, tears here and there and hope upon hope of biafra soon, biafra is coming very very soon, at the end we go settle and you will start complaining all over again. The same circle again and again until you learn to understand that we are together as one Nigeria, you are not going anywhere, we better unite now and get rid of all these politicians stealing us blind, that is the solution to our problem, period.

the Igbo tribe is not shia or shaite or wateva u call it. Second is ipob have been killed b4 and it didnt dampen our spirit... igbos have fought and lost a war for biafra b4 and it didnt dampen our spirit... u cant stop an ideology... ask somalia wat they are facing nw... as sudan how it was for them wen south sudan started their madness.... ask white south afticans how it was wen black got fed up..... ask d gadafi family of libya how it was wen libyans revolted... ask ask ask

Awoofawo:
Na the dilector dey shame you na, no be us oga..........abeg tell the IPIG to get serious and stop shaming you folks........

i am not shamed a bit by Nnamdi kanu.. never have and never will be.. he is doing wat he can to get us Biafra... the least i can do is support him... i dont pay him for this.... wat i am shamed about is the gradual demise of proffesionalism in nairaland

I honestly dont understand nairaland anymore.. A moderator put up this post to ridicule Igbos.. he allowed all comments ridiculing igbos while hiding comments ridiculing yorubas.... is this for real? A big business entity like nairaland?

doctorkush:
unlike the cows up north recruited into boko and then sent back to kill their own families... have always said it, Nigeria will be better if we have no north.

This is my stance as well. Regardless of the cold war btw igbos and yorubas online, no violence or confrontation has been recorded... but try beefing hausa

aribs:
I have no doubt these are fine men and women .I have listened to them speak at different fora. However, politics is a different beast altogether. I am sure you do know that this new nation will need time, possibly a number of years before the right infrastructure can be put in place. Not going to be Eldorado immediately. What about the other points raised? even during the First Republic, the political elite in Nigeria (this cuts across all tribes)have continued to take the masses for a ride, it has always been us against them . They have kept us busy with issues such as tribe and religion as they struggle for access to the national.purse. they have created a beggar class (almajiri, political thugs, assassin's for hire ) out of the very people they were to protect. Nationhood is a messy business . As i said earlier, let the head lead the heart.

The truth is that for some reason I am yet to understand fully, Yorubas and Hausas dont want Nigeria to divide. You are quick to call Igbos emotional but i knw one thing... ur not wanting to divide has a lot to do with oil... also igbos wanting to break away with Niger Delta also has a lot to do with oil. At the end of the day, its not because u love Igbos, Ijaws or one Nigeria

oluspicy:
Good morning sis...

You're right though, but a similar occurrence was witnessed @ Epe T-junction years ago when the dreaded combat team of QRS stopped a lady with huge revealing boobs and the bike man was ordered to suck her boobs in broad day light. No one was allowed to take pictures.

Ever since such acts have been reduced cos those QRS team patrolled the Lekki Epe Expressway 4 to 5 times a day.

"To whom brain is given, sense is expected "

I marvel at the way yorubas reason. This type of reasoning of 'TOLERATING' and 'ACCOMODATING' is peculier to them

aribs:
Not sure where u got the 80 percent Hindu from as there are ethnic and religious minorities such as the Sikhs, Christians and moslems there. Your argument as u put it seems to imply there is a superior genre that kicks in once separation is complete. You mention Singapore. U had Lee Kwan Yeu there who laid these sound polices that made sure the country grew solidly . Pray, which among the elites u know right now of eastern Nigerian extraction will be able to formulate these policies? This is what i mean by building institutions or is independence gotten just for the sake of it ? How then would the new nation not dissolve into chaos? I live in the US and went to graduate school here . Even in conservative Texas where i schooled , we Nigerians from different tribes co existed peacefully. I have received and given assistance from igbos and other Nigerians and i am sure this is not unigue to me . U say Americans don't have loyalty to country of origin. Then u should see the stadiums packed full of Mexican Americans when the US plays Mexico. This as I said does not negate self determination but at what cost? Those who are directly affected what then happens to them ? How is it to be done to ensure this does not bring war and everyone s interest is carried along? What is there to make the country viable. This is not being emotional as I see emotion is high on all sides.

1st of all there are many igbo elites capable of articulating a way forward for Biafra. Obj administrations's best performers were igbos... okonjo iweala, soludo, olisa agbokoba, pat utomi and many more. Ppl who would have been beter presidents dan yaradua or buhari if not for the type of country nigeria is. 2nd how would u knw if biafra would succeed b4 dividing? Hausa fulani's interest has been carried along long enof. Maybe time igbo interest is considered. While we are talking wat will make biafra viable, there is relatively stable power in small Togo and efficient police too

aribs:
No , I don't think people will get together just like that. u say Nigeria is peculiar. this may be true but its not the only country in the world with a diverse set of people speaking different tongues and with different religions. India is in a similar situation. different religions ,varying tribes. pray how does dividing really solve anything here? I am Yoruba . in the ethnic group, there are various subsets . you would have the same issue of one subset wanting to lord it over the others. in terms of economic viability, has anyone thought of how to create institutions for such a country. how will the new country not mirror the very evils you say you want to avoid by going separately? How then do you divide national assets in such a scenario? Are you willing to wage war to kill those who may oppose you? this utopian ideal of when we get our country, life will be so much better is not realistic. by all means I understand self determination is appropriate but let the true cost be taken into account also

Indians all speak hindi and 80% are of hindu religion. I live in a majority indian country so i know. China all speak mandarin and about 80% are Han chinese. America dont have diverse people who are extremely loyal to their country of origin. They have people who consider themselves america 1st. That was why obama emerged president in a majority white country and stayed 8yrs. U said u are yoruba.. i am igbo and believe me yorubas and igbos dont even mingle or live 2geda as nigerians abroad. Its usually each tribe to his own.. at least in the country i base. Ukraine broke 4rm russia and started to excel. Eritrea broke from ethiopia and started to excel. Singapore broke from malaysia and started to excel. Hausa fulanis reason like chadians and niger republicans not like southern nigerians... so coexisting wont happen anytime soon. Abroad hausas (the few based abroad) dont even mingle with d rest of nigerians. Believe me if odua nations comes and lagos as its capital, u will excel much more than nigeria has allowed u to or will allow u.

Abagworo:
I blame Charly boy 100% same way I will blame Nnamdi Kanu when what he's looking for starts. How can you know that something is not acceptable to majority but feel you can impose your belief on others. It will always lead to violence.

Charly boy has made his case and should rest because majority still supports Buhari not internet noise but reality on ground.

Why do majority support Buhari? Mind u I voted him in 2015. Give me reasons y I should vote him in 2019

aribs:
You are quite right. this protest and attack on peaceful protesters is disgraceful and should be condemned for what it is but then to be honest, even to the deaf and blind, it is obvious that the election wounds of 2015 are yet to heal which is sad. the vitriolic attacks on both sides of the divide have exacerbated the matter to the point of tension..If the separatist Kanu would want to take his campaign to the North, I am afraid he might begin something he would regret really. If he has police or guards, who would protect the average Igbo trader in the North who just wants to go about his business? I think it is time for laying aside these issues and having frank discussions on the way forward. I do not support the breakup of Nigeria as I see no value in it and I am yet to see a non-violent breakup in Africa (Eritrea and South Sudan as examples). This election is over people. Do not let those who seek to divide using ethnicity and religion destroy common values we hold dear. their kids and loved ones are here with me in the US and the West, living the best of lives with unfettered access to cash siphoned by their elitist politician parents. the ones that are in naija have visas on their passports and will take off if things go south. the ordinary Nigerian will be the refugee, the homeless starving ones... There is nothing that cannot be debated. Let peace reign

You are right.... but to an extent.
Ok lets say we debate today and kanu quits his agitation... do u think that the christian igbos and the muslim north will now start hugging and kissing every morning. That igbos would now be given their dues and respect and that ethnic tensions will no longer happen.. EVER! Even in the nxt 30 yrs? Let me tell u sincerely, Nigeria is a peculier counyry. Largest black Nation, more than 200 tribes and tongue with strong tribal loyalty, almost equally divided between christians and muslims, oil found in the minorities' stronghold. Nigeria will divide eventually.. how and when is a matter of generations and their strongmen. Every generation has their strongmeb

KingDonCome? Is he begging the Don (Jazzy) to come? Hunger don touch this guy

I keep saying it. I'd rather be involved in any type of buying and selling (be it drugs or gala) than be a skull minner.

NtoAkwaIbom:
hahahahaha
chose one, Am I Yoruba ? or did I grow up there ?
what if I hv never spent up to one month outside the borders of Aks nkor ? what will that make me ?

in-case u dnt know... I am more Akwa Ibom than Godswill Akpabio and Udom... I spent all the days of my life here.. if u calculate the number of times I hv been elsewhere.. it's not up to a 2 months out of my life.. u can''t say the same about Godswill, or Udom.

so wat did Igbo ever do to u or ur kin

NtoAkwaIbom:
check d title of this thread to know the real SELF ACCLAIMED YAHOO BOYS...
I no mention names oo

Now I knw u are yoruba claiming Akwaibom or at least u grew up in SW. I dont recall Igbos and akwaibomites having any qurell like u make it seem with yr many posts

Nltaliban:
Atiku Abubakar

Even if you and buhari sleep in Idp camps, Nigerians won't vote you!

Our mumu don do!

[b]We want customized, world and development inclined leaders with great intellectual capacity [/b]and not some old cargoes that are still in their factory mode


I support a better Nigeria, the Nigeria every patriotic citizen dreams of

yes that we want but not Osinbajo either.

adadike281:
The evils that sex will cause in dis world is pregnant and nursing a baby at d same time.

lol Chinua Achebe fan like me

My only problem is why u dont see sarrki, omenka and ngeneukwenu in this type of thread

Benue state is an artificial creation by the millitary. There are Igboids in Benue close to Nsukka. I believe those are the territory Kanu claims. This referandum stuff should be done by local govt area not by state. I dont want itsekiris and yoroboid groups or hausa/idoma groups in Biafra

maclatunji:
Biko, if you don’t have decent things to type just log off. Drug business helped black people reach middle class in America?

Actually it was. Most successful black biz in d 60s 70s and 80s were bankrolled by drug dealers. Drug biz is business. Skull minning isnt

ERockson:
These people and drug are 5 and 6. Evans reads psalm daily with blood in his hand and still got caught. Government should arrest this drug thief asap without considering his devilish philanthropic works.

SonofDevil:
drug business

I'd rather live in a drug infested Biafra than stay in your version of safe Nigeria. Drug biz in the 1970s and 80s afteral was wat aided the black Americans transform to middle class today. And unlike poor skull miners in oshogbo, there is no Igbo man involved in crime who isnt as rich as fvck

NtoAkwaIbom:
Nigeria is the way it is because the church has lost its way... see. our church today glorifies the rich, without asking for the source of their wealth

The church sends Xtians to go and still, make undue profits all in the name of.. It is your time to build that house, that car is waiting for you.

The church is supposed to be apoliticall, I was shocked to see a Biafran ARDENT Priest of the Catholic church and I hv seen Catholic churches buses being used as the main movement vehicles of Ipobs.
You Ask, IF THESE PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH, WHY THEN DO THEY HAVE SO MUCH HATE IN THEM...?

Jesus Pursued those making money from the church, today we do bazaar, do auction and sell orange for 5k, in churches...

and we claim the Name Christians... just see what we have brought on ourselves.. Shame on us

chai Ntoakwaibom u actually found a way of bringing Biafra into this write up am shocked! Is biafra d only tin u think these days?

Markfemi:
Unity begging version 3.0
No one is mocking niger delta
We mock Igbo cause they are plenty and have no relevance

Niger Deltans see this post and mark it. The day ur oil finishes, that time this guy here will also tell u that they mock u guys because u are plenty and have no relevance

shervydman:
yes.....money can be generated through taxes. but u need to understand that taxes and GDP are two parallel terms, they can never be the same.

taxes are meant for financing government expenditure like building of roads and basic amenities.

GDP on the other hand is the contribution of each sector/industries to the economy.

taxes does not contribute to the economy but contributes to the government budget or expenditure.

Yes u are right. But u did not specify it like dis b4

shervydman:
aw can u explain the 2nd emboldened statement in relation to the first?

money can also be generated thru taxes. No? Taxes however dont form part of GDP

shervydman:
funny guy.........GDP(gross domestic product) is the measure of all goods and services produced in a country on a yearly basis. i.e the money generated from every sector in that country every year.

its not actually money generated from every sector. Its just as u earlier said, d value of goods produced in a country for a period, usually per year. Budget is a legal document dat shows govts expected revenue and expenditure for d year

TheAngry1:
You are the ideeeeeot here. Nnamdi Kanu calls every Igbo person hustling outside Igbo land a slave. The silly peeeeeg lived and worked in the UK, does that make him a slave? Mumu people.

No he doesnt call all Igbos hustling outside Igboland slaves, only thise who think they are no longer Igbos because they are hustling outside Igboland. This simple fact would have been obvious to u if u werent a yoruba muslim

TheAngry1:
Who be Charles ogbu? This stupid article is been celebrated by Igbos...wow! How low can a people get? Nnamdi Kanu lived and worked in the UK but still wasn't made Prime Minister....he is a classic example of a slave. Igbos are the most pathetic people on earth.

read ur logic again. Nnamdi Kanu who is fighting for his Igbo tribe vs Joe Igbokwe who is bashing his Igbo tribe. Truly yoruba muslims dont reason well!

hilroy:
I'm not angry you're ridiculing yourself, I'm just ashamed for you.

no need

hilroy:
What a capital joke!

I will still prefer this thing to the idiot Cownu. See what the Igbos have done to themselves allowing nonentities to ridicule their tribe in front of the whole world.

yea because Kanu seems serious. Thats why u prefer the 'capital joke' over him. Pls we all knw u hate Igbos with passion so why are u angry that we are 'riddculing' ourselves?
