I have no one single hate for SE , God almighty knows. Like buhari will say, 'if you are no longer interested in this union, tell your elected representatives to raise a motion of secession or referendum in the national assembly.' But will the leaders do such? NO.

Anything short of this step will Led to anarchy as we are seeing today.

A rep member from SE talked about Biafra and referandum in the house of representatives sometime back and he was ruled out of order. What type of democracy is that. I still subscribe to getting Biafra through NASS but I also subscribe to some form of force as a back up to diplomacy. So yea I agree with IPOB and I agree with you.

TMKsouth:
Yes because we've made it difficult for you to come in and stay. Plus you went on a media frenzy because your people were being executed, including diplomats . Let's hope your money is legit or you'll follow in the footsteps of your predecessors. One thing i like about SA is it always follows through.

you are happy diplomats were being executed? Wow! How low have you gone? You started well on this forum but now you are nothing but a base animal worse than what he is fighting

rash47:
Use ya head, guy is a yahoo freedom fighter . You see his designer pyjamas?

Heart attack, we just dey pity you like the case of kanu that used ipob funds to travel far for one night stand. A fighter should be in the forefront ....

You have no pity or love for SE and Igbos. You rather want to ridicule us. You guys just hoped the imprisonment of Kanu will kill the agitation. It didn't. You wish Ekpa will be arrested. He won't.

TMKsouth:
Which businesses are these though Mr Quack SA Expert? You can't even name well-known major Nigerian businesses but you're adamant you know everything at street level even though u dont live in SA.

Take it from someone in SA - Nigerians run illicit underground business that no South African would want to get involved in. When impoverished SA people are complaining, they're talking about Ethiopians and Somalis - not you.

This is your speciality, hence the terrible reputation ⬇️

https://thenationonlineng.net/dangerous-lifestyles-nigerian-hustlers-south-african-enclave/

There are around 500 thousand Nigerians in UK. We have not heard of any bad reputation there. They go to school, work as professionals, keep their noses clean. About 600 thousand NIGERIANs in U.S. no major scandals or bad reputation.
I live in Australia with about 40 thousand Nigerians. No bad reputation.
Why only south Africa? And why are you in particular so rude? Do you feel you have been a good ambassador of your country here? Do you think you are not being hypocritical because you are a well known South African bigot in a forum that is 99% made up of Nigerians. Even the second largest population in nairaland would be Ghanians

walefresh3:
stop decieving your GUILIBLE self... Igboland is a complete shithole....

If I show u anambra u go Cry....

Tell your zombies to stop trooping like economical refugees to the West....

I don't want fake comparism...

Lagos not 'the west' the rest of your 5 states are dirty and tattered. Lagos is also nasty but has money because of the contribution of all ethnic groups

walefresh3:
olodo, Lagos was just only capital for 30 years ... Stop spreading LIES

so can you tell us the capital from 1914 to 1960?

Yoruba leaders are so obsessed with Igbos. Look at a sitting judge talking like a tribal bigot, calling a custom they are not part of as barbaric. You will never hear any igbo leader talk about Yorubas as a tribe.
But we have heard oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, tinubu's wife, mc oluomo etc all use derogatory words on igbos

walefresh3:
stop praising that FAILURE that couldn't revive anambra state... Till now anambranians are trooping to Lagos like economical refugees...
Pls tell me what stop obi from developing anambra state or turning it to production State ?

Una lie no dey work again...

If I show u the real anambra u go cry

the list of Nigerian states by GDP shows that Anambra is richer than every core Yoruba state. We all know that without being capital for 76 years, Lagos would be another shít Yoruba state. Also the compiler of the stats is a Yoruba man too so no ojoro

Solsix:
Anambra population is more than that biko

unlikely. 4.1 million is actually a large number. That is the population of Liberia and near double the population of Jamaica

triple996:
Which means kano, Kaduna, oyo, lagos and port Harcourt are all richer than these countries. 9ice if true

Rivers and Lagos yea. The rest, no!

richmond500:
He is not igbo, whether he decides to tell the universe his name or not does not matter

I'd advice you to travel to the SS region, it will do you some good when you know that there are people who doesn't see the need for tribal recognition due to how entagled the different tribes are.
There is little descrimination here among etnicities, therefore the need to start shouting your tribe is a nuisance to most of us and we have taken that life outside our comfort zones.

I had two roommates in school who was with me from 100level till final year, we are all from Rivers but I never knew what part of Rivers they came from until we graduated because it never mattered to us, as long as we knew that we are from Rivers State, that enough to consider ourselves as brothers.
2moro, if you as an igbo man asks me for my tribe, I will tell you it is not necessary, you might see me as some weird person, so will i see u as one, but the truth is our different cultures treats it differently.
Cultural diversity is the beauty of Nigeria and we should learn to see the beauty that try to descriminate.

I don't care for much of what you wrote. But you see the bolded, it's a lie. Cultural diversity is not the beauty of Nigeria. The beauty of Nigeria is oil. Cultural diversity is the bane of Nigeria

WesternPanzer:
Am an Igbo man. But May God empower you more Sanwo OLU! Show no mercy. Anyday you stop the destruction, may death amd destruction never depart from your family and that of your supporters in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

These recent developments all over Nigeria is quite commendable. I cannot even build one factory in any other state that is not Anambra not to talk of going beyond Eastern Region. I dey mad? At least if the property and assets dey my papa land, come and harass me in it.

You will see God for judgement in 1 second.

Nothing gives me joy everyday than the pulling down of so called Igbo structures and markets in Lagos. If possible, the usual miscreants from that region should burn them as they usually do. I prayed everyday for this and God seems to be answering.

I really wish Sanwo Olu can destroy Computer village, ASPAMDA, LADIPO and Alaba. Those markets are meant to be in Eastern region. Asin totally destroy them. Some Ndigbo need to have sense.

I have one of my Anambra brothers who has over 20 estates in Lagos alone. 15 are all on the island alone... LIKE WHAT DA HELL? On another mans region?

Abandon property of old did not teach you people anything? Unu abudi iddiot? Chukwu kpoo unu oku dia.

Another very stupid Igbo man from same Anambra has over 40 houses in Ogba and Ojodu berger. The way this man was investing into properties even got me scared. But this same iddiot has only 2 buildings in the East. What a buffon!

Such volume of Real Estate should be in your village in the East even if its not yielding money! Build and abandon it there in the East!

You get mind dey develop another man region? Dey call am no man's land? Are you an iddiot? Don't you think of our future generations who will come in 100 years time?

Ndi Igbo All over the world, continue developing Lagos and Nigeria inugo? Umu MPAMA! You see these things all over the forum saying all sorts about your region and you think they don't mean it?

Don't learn vital lessons and turn EASTERN REGION TO AN ECONOMIC POWER HOUSE. We don't need those people... BELIEVE ME. At the right time, they will come begging.

Honestly Sanwo Olu should continue with the destruction of all Igbo properties both LEGAL and ILLEGAL. There is something we are looking for.

If They runaway from the destruction of Igbo properties they started, may death and destruction never depart from their families and lineage in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

there are various ways of looking at it. Lagos is an economic hub and melting point. Indians from various villages also move to Mumbai and Delhi to settle and build. Chinese from various villages move to shanghai. Nigeria shouldn't be different. If an Igbo man goes to ibadan to build then you can say this and I will support it.
Also the demolishion may also have affected other ethnicities including yoruba

diplomat058:
Show me one post where I insult Igbos. You can only see me getting at impersonators and bigots. I don't do bigotry; instead, i do healthy rivalry which is the bedrock of any viable competition for growth.

I understand from your signature that you are a self acclaimed Igbo unification advocate looking for some lost love of oil-wood brotherhood. That shouldn't deter you from verifying the authenticity of what I said to, at least, come to a true self realization of your region

Cheers!

I have told you what I have told you. If you like don't hear.

diplomat058:
Which world class infrastructure? Ebonyi that probably has an 80% poverty rate and locked in generational debt. What's the debt to IGR ratio in the state? In fact, what's the IGR itself. Both present and future commitments were made off fed allocations, just to build some flyovers to brag and you are here applauding him? Governance is a joke when clowns like you think this way. I served in Ebonyi, and the situation there is beyond pathetic

Lol you served in Tokyo. Someone like you that run around insulting igbos all day will admit that anything good came from igboland?
Be careful before you show this hate in the wrong place and pay dearly for it

lhordspy:
Lol. Just look at you using 'to mention a few' at the end of the the 5 man list like there are millions of others.

Please tell me. Asides these guys mentioned above; bolded, which other igbo political bigwig supported Tinubu?

Chimaroke Nnammani in the list is not of his party. Orji uzor kalu couldnt deliver his senatorial district to Tinubu, but won same senatorial district election for himself; in an election conducted same day, same time... Only ballot papers separated them. Funny isnt it? Yet you talk about about support.

In Enugu , the state with the highest former Governor, senate president, serving ministers: Ken nnammani, Sulivan, Godfrey onyeama and the others bigwigs all in APC. Tinubu polled only 4900 votes. Not even upto 5k votes. And you are here Preaching support?

Asiwaju got less than 1.5% of his vote from Southeast.Infact take away Tinubu's total vote in SE, he will still be the winner. If election is conducted 3million times, the number of voters for him in the SE will not increase instead it will keep decreasing.

By the way, who should he have included? The people on the committee are mostly youths and middle-aged. Igbo youths are all on social media photoshopping PICCs line into Tinubu's arm for propaganda, while the rest are cooking up fake news about imaginary Guinean, called Tinubu.

Even this Joe igbokwe lamenting, as a commissioner in lagos, asides his social media chochocho , can he solemnly swear that he was able to deliver 10votes from his igbo brothers for Tinubu or sanwo olu in Lagos?

Igbos antagonised him before the election.
Opposed him during the election.
And are still running campaign of calumnies against him after the election.

The reality of these new Nigeria's political setting now is that; No one is going to placate anyone with any political post. Everyone must work for it. Time of pity-party is over.

What you sow is what you reap. Welcome to the new dispensation.

so non of the 4900 people that voted him in Enugu could be included in his committee?
Before 2014 when APC Nigerian government and politicians were not this tribalistic. All these started with apc

Iamgrey5:
Those cities were built by the Boers not blacks.

Those cities were built over several decades from proceeds of daimond, Gold and platinum found in South Africa.

You need to stick to a narrative.
First you said we don't have the money, when he pointed at South Africa having less gdp than us, you now started talking about the boers. Are boers not South Africans? Are the natural resources you said here more profitable than 60 years of selling oil? Is a country with Nigeria's GDP and population not supposed to have at least one city that looks like one of these?

Iamgrey5:
The population of Nigeria should be 100 million at most.

Every independent Data released always point to that direction.

It is also clear that Lagos is the most populated with estimation of over 7 to 10 million people.

Kano should be 5 to 7 million people.

kano isn't larger than 3 million. The population of Cape Town is 4 million, check capetown and kano on Google earth

APCNig:
Come and explain yourself since you are rolling out fake statistics like the 3rd Class Philosophy graduate.

Now, what is GDP?

its sad you don't know what gdp is

Mufasa27:
Who gives a f***

If una like participate, if una like make una ignore. Nigeria must move forward with or without you hypocrites.

is Nigeria moving forward?
Our Gdp in 2014 was $560 Billion with a population of 160 million. Our current GDP is $510 Billion with 200 million population

Ganimu:
I kind of agree with him on this one

will you choose Nigeria's imperfect democracy over Qatars perfect dictatorship?

helinues:
I love the decision of the former temporary governor of Inm state Ihedioha to withdraw from the election.

That Gov Uzodinma is just too street rugged to tackle head on

its quite interesting that the change party if filled with people that can be described as street rugged. No ideology. No principle. Shame

Illuminatiship:
Okocha talented player that won nothing? Kanu is far more better than okocha, argue with your ogogoro master of a father..

okocha won Olympics and nations Cup. He scored more goals for Nigeria than kanu

dat9jaguy:
Hypothetically, let us assume the candidate that won FCT lost other states without getting 25% in them but the opponent won the remaining 36 states without getting 25% in FCT, then you will call for rerun It just doesn't make sense.
This example is hypothetical and just for this argument.

the reason why lawyers get paid is to play with words. A good lawyer can successfully argue that fct is different from the states in this context. I just wish we all could move on though. Cos Tinubu will not put every yoruba person on payroll. All these are just the I pass my neighbour mentality of Africans. A Tinubu presidency shouldn't mean a 'yoruba' presidency.

dat9jaguy:
From your own statement you have contradicted yourself.

[/b]The reason those who wrote the constitution had to still write FCT, Abuja is because they knew it was not a state and so did not count Abuja as a state but a capital, if not they would have stopped the statement at "have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation".

But they had to stress FCT,Abuja in it to make sure that whoever will interpret the law will know that Abuja was not considered a state when they were referring to "states".[b]


Since FCT is not a state it has to be emphasized along with the other states as part of the federation. So 25% of the states and FCT.
If your argument is correct that means I can win FCT and my opponent wins the remaining 36 states then you will call for rerun

winning 36 states doesn't mean your opponent didn't get 25% in those states and they also won fct too

sablue:
Very interested in seeing his performance. He's the first of his kind holding a strong political office in Nigeria.

But wait ooo. Nobody's wailing that he's APC.

he's the second

domDva:
Without prejudice to any possible rigging by pdp, there are three key factors that gave PDP victory in Enugu.

There is no doubt that A LOT of people in Enugu are tired of PDP and would easily vote for any other popular candidate.
However, Mr Okey Ezea, an LP senator elect from Nsukka in that infamous video circulated online was seen shouting that the governorship election is a Do or Die affair for Nsukka people, that Nsukka is more populated than Nkanu and should use their alleged voting strength to elect Edeoga who most people from Enugu East see as an Nsukka man. That outburst re-enforced that feeling.
Every Nkanu man and woman took that outburst as a direct challenge,

Frank Nweke factor: The Apga candidate got support from a lot of independent minded Obidients who felt that voting along party line is not the right thing to do, they prefer a candidate regarded as more competent notwithstanding the party. Most of them chose Nweke of Apga, Aisha Yesufu pushed hard for Nweke. This ultimately ate deep into Obidient votes that naturally would have gone to LP.

Thirdly, a lot of people in Enugu consider Edeoga as incompetent, he has been in government since 1999 but it is hard to point out to his achievements. He was the immediate past commissioner for environment in Enugu at a time that Enugu became filthy. Though, he claimed that the parastatal in charge of keeping the city clean was taken away from his office and placed in the office of the Governor. A lot of people didn’t buy this excuse.

Mba is no saint but people believe that since he has succeeded in the private sector as the owner of Pinnacle Oil, he will be a better choice than a career politician who has nothin to show for his years in government.

In summary: Nkanu and Nsukka “fight”, emergence of Obidient Frank Nweke of Apga and the alleged incompetence of Edeoga worked against him

remove that first reason. Most enugu people didn't care about nsuka vs nkanu factor. LP failed because of other reasons you mentioned and because Peter Obi did not endorse Edeoga

Throwback:
Great!

You succeeded despite that the zombies tried to prevent you from using the same Priests and Bishops to get support for your campaign as they had already used for their own presidential campaign.

The stinking hypocrites who have no integrity or character like their desperate leader who emerged as a result of political prostitution and ticket hunting without party ideology, claim they want to give us a new Nigeria, yet all they have provided is chaos and mass delusion.

Do your best to provide sound leadership with character and integrity that they do not have.

Ensure you secure your state from those terrorists.

its surprising seeing you supporting pdp these days. Are you yourself not surprised by this anomaly?
Hate is a slow burner bro...it creeps in and makes a home in your heart while you are walking around calling yourself reasonable

Vote4Obi:
You made some points no doubt. However, I hope you guys are prepared to tame the monster you helped create in Tinubu?

Tinubu hates both Hausas and Igbos in equal measure. Dude is coming to promote a dangerous Yoruba agenda. 80% of the economy has been cornered by them, they're partly in control of the media and now they have political power...

North should have backed Obi but due to religious intolerance since he is a Christian and Igbophobia, you guys backed a monster...

At this point, only a North/East alliance will stop him and his evil agenda. If Tinubu occupies Aso rock, he is going to promote Oduduwa agenda.

unfortunately only a few leaders have ran a 'Nigerian agenda'
Those few leaders in my opinion were Gowon, Obasanjo, shagari and yaradua. The rest have ran a regional agenda. The northern leaders currently are not national leaders. Their intention is to sideline the SS, SE and NC completely.
The plan is to make el rufai president after tinubu...you know what that means already. More ethno-religious strife.
Sad days ahead

mrvitalis:
Igbos have retired all bad politicians expect IMO

Umiah is a worker even if he joins devils party I would vote him he performed what no governor in Nigerian's history has done maybe Sam mbakwe

Umiah did wonders


Hope you are next we are coming for you

What of Orji uzor kalu? Trust me he was a bad governor but a very very very good senator ...I can't pick any senator that has done more project than him

I remember that year we voted Apc. I don't regret it though but I realised long before you that yorubas supported buhari because of ethnic agenda not really because of good governance. I remember when I used to call you afonja when you were still supporting apc. How times have changed

How dare obi, an ibo man think he can contest election as president in this country? He has set ibos back for doing this

How dare obi an ibo man think he can win the votes of Lagos in the presidential election? He has set ibos back for a million years

How dare obi, an ibo man think he can join a party and start a political movement in this country? Doesn't he know the place of ibos? Ibos will be put in their place for this.

How dare obi go to court to challenge the elections as an ibo man? Does he now equate himself to buhari who went to court 3 times. Ibos will suffer for this for a billion years.

How dare ibos? The audacity of ibos to demand to vote and be voted for in Nigeria!!
