if you know the right channel to tap from. Then you will know the country has enormous resources to boost the economy. Nigeria is a developing country. If we don't join hands to develop the place who will? Those countries people are running to who made the place habitable for foreigners.

nigeria will not develope with the current feeding bottle structure...and guess wat? The north doesnt care. Their religion believes wealth is only from God and that poverty is God's decision.

If we go back to the 1963 constitution using the 6 geoplolitical zone and reducing fg's influence to a few things...then we will start devoloping like Ghana.

If u go to cameroon...u can stay for 3 weeks without power outage...yet we are the largest producer of oil in africa...do u now understand why Africa is not the problem..nigeria specifically is.

And ppl like Buhariguy above like the status quo. They call it quotasystem.... the best thing that happened to hausa ppl was the 1966 coup...it gave them the pretence they needed to befall the country like heavy weight

ehbellsho:
This is Nigeria, where the craziest and the wildest thing you can ever do will get you fame and honour instead of shame and rebuke.

I Love this country

there is no shame in entertainment biz. That is the concept. Its not a nigerian thing...it is a common sense thing. Pornstars are more popular than some big move stars in u.s

SageMK:
So what's the problem here?

This is a common sight in developing countries na.
You should be more appreciative of the cooperation.

People also queue up just to buy akara from Mama Salamatu every morning so that's no an issue. Not yet.

the poor mentality shown on this post. Am sure u are an apc supporter. Will it be rocket science to buy those tickets online? Or another faster way?

GavelSlam:
The choice of words are quite local, probably from the depths of an uneducated apprentice in Nnewi or Mokola.

In addition, no geologist can tell you with certainty what's going on in a sedimentary basin until investigations are carried out.

Usually such investigations require drilling which is what NNPC is doing right now.

u are right. Let me ask u bro...if the north discovers oil that is very large...will the north clamour for their separate country? U have abuja...u have land and u already have baro river port in niger state...

Will u want to go on ur own? I feel most southerners will want that. Wats ur take?

Mccullum:
So Abacha and IBB has become democrats or politicians just because Igbos are not favour to be Senate president and Speaker of National Assembly....

You try..

democracy is not the only form of politics

ednut1:
Fallacy. The useless kings could not command whites to run mad or bark like dogs. The man had rabies end of story.

I tell u bro....illiteracy in nigeria is high. U know some educated people here actually think the man was jazzed....chai. i need to leave this country asap

UNN should emulate this...b4 afonja go laugh us. We no suppose dull in Igboland in terms of all these university ranking. Fr. Ede should stop mediocrity and study the convenant uni

fykes:
Quite unnecessary. You don't get bigger by talking / looking down on anyone

well the north hopes to retain power by unnecessarily getting bigger. We could have been a country of just around 120 million if the north would breed like the south....but no...we are approaching 200 million and headin to 400 million so that the north can hold on to power.

Muslims in developed countries only marry one wife...but everythin about north Nigeria must be different

GideonVIBES:
Southeastern politics has always been known to be peaceful. From Abia to Enugu down to Anambra and Ebonyi. Who would have thought that the gubernatorial election in Imo was gonna be peaceful and void of bloodshed. Anyways, it has a lot to do with the state of things, it's the region with the lowest poverty rate, people are engaged meaningfully. People don't have time for frivolities.

yea u are right...i think monogamy is working in our favour.

A man with a wife and 4 kids is more likely to have useful sons than a man with 22 sons and 4 wives

Naija9090:
Anyone who has been or lived in America, will tell you that Aba and Umuahia streets grid or map is just like any typical American city. Well plan cities with decades of poor leaders!

this is true...aba was planned very well during the colonial era to be the number 1 city of the east...it gradually lost that to p.h by the late 50s

LadySarah:
Except to look for trouble,the IGBO man sends his kinsman's corpse home for burial Or pays at a cemetary.
That was Why Town hall unions started.
I think on the land issue for mkt,hmm,everybody is just being careful.HasAnyone preventedYou from selling livestock in the current mkt You are in?

IGBO ama eze,Those kings You are running to have no power over lands in igboland.Meet the families that owns the land not the king.

Igbos have been known to destroy gods that have outlived Their usefulness,ofoziekwa kings installed by them

our people have a saying that when an oracle starts misbehaving, he will be shown the tree it was carved from. That was wat happened to Akpabio...and that is wat will happen to any leader who gives out igbo land to fulanis for cattle ranching

However I appreciate the enterprise of the hausa community. The New artisan market along Enu-ph express is an hausa market...we have not had any problem with them. U can go there and do anything...or buy anything and even Bleep their nyarinyas in their hijab for 500 naira.

Nnewi should gv them 2 plots for burial ground at 3 million each if they can afford it...and a market of about 10 plots at same price...then ensure that a local vigilante is set up there to monitor their activities. We need to do these things for the north as a sign of good faith. They are the one tribe outside igbos who invest a lot in igboland...and we want them to continue and we want them to accomodate our traders up north too.

Shalom ¥

LazyGold:
Prepare for your death you better don't fall asleep. Say your last prayer Nyamiri!

afonjas and killing are 5 and 6...so no surprises here

LazyGold:
Ogun is coming for you Nyamiri! You think it is everyone you can talk to anyhow. Sango is coming for you!

which of these two afonjas is sango? So i know who to beat

LazyGold:
It is already best for me but i doubt you will ever be able to hold on to that better. May Sango and Ogun visit you for insulting Ooni !

after they have wiped out ur family. Mumu man

LazyGold:
It will never be Better for your Generation for insulting Ooni, but that doesn't mean we agree with whatever he says.

It is the Ooni himself that gave savages and Barbarians like you the right to Insult him

lol...na una dey insult am na...we are just agreeing with u.

P.s its already better for my generation...but i doubt it will be good for u

GidiWoodsMan:
Ooni smokes too much weed. It's quite obvious from all the gibberish he mouths at public functions, and some idïots actually gobble it up as 'history'.

yoruba insulting their spiritual leader because of igbos is a joy to behold. Of course we knw ur leaders are mad men including this one

gidgiddy:
Most Igbos are not too bothered about the presidency of Nigeria, they know that there are other things that are far more important than that such as restructuring and self determination

Igbos have also watch for the last 50 years and seen that the office of the president has not helped those who who have held in the past, that much. The only Igbos who talk about Igbo presidency are the greedy politicians amongst them who want to get it such as Okorocha.

The mind of the Igbo man is business-like, the vast majority of Igbos don't care about presidency any more, it is not what will put food on the table

christiannorth wat many of u dont even realise is that most northerners and many yorubas believe gej is igbo...yet he won 2011.

Forget the few politically aware people here...most nigerian voters want good governance. Abiola did not win because he was yoruba...he won because his campaign spoke to more nigerians...atiku didnt lose because of peter obi...he lost because he is percieved as corrupt.

jomonic:
It's about doing the right things not necessarily closing gaps. Closing gap with the south might also involve doing things to slow the south down which will not lead to progress.

that is wat they did from 1967 to 1999 wen they ruled as military dictators. They slowed the south down and enthroned poverty all over the country. A country that was withnessing great development in the south during regional era. They truncated the 4 regions with 12, 19, 21, 30 and 36 irrelivant states...all geared up towards giving north greater share of oil wealth from the south.

I read events that happened from 1945 to 1960 in Nigerian politics and realised that the problem called north didnt start today.

Nbote:
Wetin concern am... So long as dey credited his account with his appearance fee and his tour is all expense paid. Atleast him don enta Europe.. It's left for him to decide if he wants to disappear from there

at the bolded...i laffed u finish d guy. I can immagine..from celeb to illegal immigrant...chai

Europe is not heaven o. Na the same things u will see in parts of abuja and lag u will still see there o. As we dey hussle enter there...them sef dey enter gabon and congo dey blow everyday. The thing with europe is good laws and good enforcement. Nothing else. These 2 things will eliminate illiteracy, corruption and dis orderliness. Just look at how rwanda is developing fast without access to sea or natural resources.

Khaleell001:
I am a southerner by birth, by resident and by my language.
Is there anywhere in any book where it is wrtten that every southern must be a Christian or a follower of African traditional religion?

See small pikin reasoning?

I have gone past that aspect of terming a religion bad because some hit heads did something bad.

If I were to use your logic of generality of crime.
Will UT be right for me to say all southerners are fraudsters because many youths now engage in it?

Will it be right for me to say that all South Westerners (Yorubas) are skull miners (as is popular among Nairalanders) because some of their people engage in it?

Will be right for me to term all Ibos blood ritualist because some Ibos do it?

It is only a bigot and a confused insular scallywag that will still say Islām is a religion of terrorism when I,my parents, grand parents,uncles,aunties and relatives and my community at large have not even killed a mouse because of conversion.

We rather disown such person than kill them.
So, your insults or labels will not change anything.

i have lived in the middle east so u cant tell me about islam...i will tell u. And i tell u now that islam radicalises easily...however...it radicalises people who have a culture that could easily make them targets of radicalisation. The yorubas are muslims but they are not as radical as the core northerners. because they are more educated than the core northerners.

While i have my reservation with islam...i believe that illiteracy in the north is the bigger problem

Khaleell001:
Still not understanding what you were trying to say.

Maybe you are...

oh... i thought i was talking with a correct southerner...chai...so u are a muslim? No wonder.

Bro do urself a favour and leave terroristic doctrines

Naajjii:
I have to let you know na, in case the time comes you people will start complaining that we are Ecowas and all that.

ok we yaff hear

Khaleell001:
Oga,shift go side make we see front.
As if your opinion matter.
Whether you like the north or not, the fact remains that the Ibos are the most tribalistic of all tribes I know.
You show it everywhere you go. On social media it is even worse.
You people hate the north yet, your brothers are flocking there to have a live yet you intolerantly call them intolerable.
Because when it suits your narrative you Ibos, are intolerant,but when it goes the other way, the northerners become the biblical wolves in sheep clothing.

One thing Ibos should understand is, nobody has monopoly over tribal bigotry you display all the time.

Your people once claimed Lagos a Yoruba enclave to be "no man's land" which did sit well with many Yorubas including your darling and in-law FFK.

All I am saying is, Ibos should learn to tolerate others before they expect tolerance from other people.
You can't belittle me in my place and expect me to praise you.
We are not foolish.

Mind you, I am not a Yoruba or an Hausa, but Niger Deltan from Edo state.

Lol...igbos are not the most intolerate. U even said in ur post that there are many igbos in the north.

Also there are many many many hausas in the east. In fact every street in the east has hausa person living there. Have u ever heard that we killed them or protest against them or insult them offline? No! Yet igbos in the north have been killed in their thousands and millions since 1930s...unprovoked.

Ofcourse u can even be from china for all i care but i knw it is the APC in u that is talking...a political party that has igbo hate as manifesto. Shame.

But alas most of u southern igbo haters will rather do NYSC in the east than in the north. Lol isnt God wonderful?

Jman06:
I'll rather choose an Hausa Christian before a Yoruba Muslim!
Yoruba Muslims have recently become full of bigotry than even some Hausa Muslims.

Generally, I wish we could do away with religion in this country and live like brothers and sisters!

u have a point tho. Muric. But hausa christians are also radical

Ohraykon:
u are a fool for dis

truth hurts

Naajjii:
Look who is talking of Islam, go to Libya and most islamic and ask the population of southern Nigerians especially Igbos there compare to northern Nigerians, why are you people in those cou tries in large numbers despite your thinking that they are terrorist and backward?. Your greed and quest for money and materialism will make you live anywhere. When we separate you people to Biafra, for you people to get a visa to our territory will be very difficult than to get American visa.

lol...no issue bro. We will not come to your country once we get biafra. Dont get worked up. Lol

Naajjii:
I don't want any Better Nigeria, I want a country where Igbo will be in a separate country and Yoruba also have their own country and we have our country. I don't care wether we have oil or not with or without oil we will have peace all these Nigeria tribalism and complaining of marginalization especially by Igbo people will be reduced. Scamming , fraud , ritualist Yahoo yahoo , Boko haram will also reduced and alot of other things will be solved. Then we will appreciate ourselves better.

u have a point tho. Cos i am sure we hate ur people the same way u hate us...so we should really go our seperate ways.

Terrorism and islamic fundamentalism and backwardness will be eliminated once ur people are gone.

The core hausas are very docile people. That is why they have never ruled nigeria apart from tafawa balewa
