Igboland is landlocked. No matter what metrics you use Igboland is landlocked. As an Ijaw from Rivers state I can tell you that!

So what parameters are you using to say its landlocked

Hmnm
So he is satisfied with the killings

OK ooo
Whether Nigerians are satisfied or not. It doesn't concern him

JohnSin97:
Lol... Even with the insecurity ravaging the north, Niger state still has more advantage in rice farming than the local government area called ebonyi, plus China will crush your rice and salt economy with cheaper prices. You rice and beans economy can't even sustain itself, reason why alot of ebonyi sons and daughters are into the rice import business.

Who told you
They have both rice and salt in commercial quantities.
Our borders are closed against China so we are safe.
We can still compete if we have stable electricity and infrastructure

JohnSin97:
Am not mocking igbos dying, you brought up Yoruba's and northerners dying.
Death is death.. Funsho Williams and bola iga just like Saro wiwa and a few others were majorly political deaths.. how far the 3million igbos wasted following Ojukuwu

What is the difference between political assassination and political death. Die na die

Yorubas also died in the Civil War trying to keep igbos to be part of them
Igbos were fighting to cut themselves from you

JohnSin97:
rice and salt. so umahi wants to make nigeria a rice and salt economy.

It doesn’t matter
Law of comparative economics advice that you should focus on what you have advantage on.
Your economy will grow with it

JohnSin97:
You call this enjoyment....

Yes that is the natural environment polluted by oil.
Nothing spoil. We enjoy it while it lasts

JohnSin97:
Lol even some Americans are dying as we speak. Igbo traditional leaders get killed on a daily basis but because of their irrelevance it doesn't make the news...Obas die in war, obas die on their beds, obas can die by any means....The Oba who died(may his soul rest in peace) as we speak the case being investigated and the culprits being hunted down. Fasorantis daughter's death sparked action from SW governors and it birthed Amotekun, lekki massacre happened and soon the government will face international sanctions, oyibo massacre happened and nobody really gives two shits, even indigbo is less concerned. Last time I checked wike is still handling you guys.

If Americans are dying and yorubas are also dying.
Why then do you mock the igbos dying. Afterall everybody dies.
Investigation or not die na die.
And in Nigeria investigations are just deceits it has not stopped the killings.
How far funsho Williams and Bola ige

JohnSin97:
I doesn't woke that why chimp, but anyways Mr South South can't do without us man..... riddle me, how many oil wells does your family own, or at least how many filling stations do you own...with your 13% extra oil revenue how have your governors used it to benefit their states. Lol Mr SS can't do without us probably doesn't even know that oil prices are dropping and in a few years time when we all got electric Mr SS can't do without us, would be living in a village without electricity and no food to eat because he's water ways and land has been polluted.
Mr SS Can't Do Without Us is a ret@rded brainlet.

Till we get to the bridge of electric cars, we should still be enjoying.

JohnSin97:
First of all Nnamdi Azikiwe came up with the one nigeria idea until it backfired in his face.

Secondly biafra is a landlocked hellhole with no oil wealth and the only reason you guys moved to Lagos is because of the opportunities there.

Thirdly it's a known fact that you guys are known for inflating prices and importing substandard products.

Fourthly we were doing fine without you before the white man came and lumped us all together. In all honesty I pray everyday that the government gives you your 5 state biafra and builds a wall around you guys banning you from entering Nigeria.

Plus from what I see if the igbos had a tinubu like SW and not the unfortunate leaders they've been cursed with; they'll be doing far better than they're presently doing. Correct your leaders before you do to ours. The yorubas don't owe your shit or their votes.

Igbos are in Rivers too.
I am igbo and from Rivers.
The five SE states must join us in the riverine if they are to go, so that we don't become minority joining others
Igboland is not landlocked if you free all the igbos joined to other states like delta state and Rivers state etc
As far as if Tinubu becomes president his policies will affect us. We have the right to correct him
The yorubas gained more by associating with the igbos if not they wouldn't fight to death to keep them

danilmo:
What are u saying, if it is atiku then forget it..


APC hold north grip politically, the bloc vote u see are from those leaders directive which majority of them are in APC.

Trust Ganduje to deliver kano
El rufai will deliver Kaduna
Kastina will surrender,
Zulum campaign for jagaban his friend , Bornu is done
middle belt will rather prefer a SW man than north

Forget it, Lagos state is enough campaign.
Turning Nigeria to the great Lagos.. forget , it's a done deal..

Propaganda won't work...

Hahaha
I laugh in Arabic
Those people can't deliver as far as they want power to remain in the north.
You will be disappointed again just like awo and abiola.
Tinubu will be another Yoruba that will try and not be president.

JohnSin97:
Lol, you die there with bitterness and hate while the python dances on your flathe@d. I survive and adapt.

Are Yorubas not dying in this government?
Aren't yoruba soldiers sent to the war front in sambisa?
A traditional leader was killed last week in ondo.
Fasorantis was also killed?
Your general has been demoted today in the army.
Lekki massacre happened in your backyard
The north is also suffering killings, so what is it you are talking about python dance.
If you people kill ten igbos you should be ready to lose thirty. We all die here

JohnSin97:
Really as long as it doesn't have crude oil or gold, I care less.

It has rice and salt.
Must it be oil?

JohnSin97:
Lol, typical victim mentality of an Igbo man, Yorubas have accommodated the Igbo man than any other tribe... The name calling, "slaves" "Afonja's" and all manner of slurs were overlooked. An Igbo man can come to yoruba land and build a life for himself, A Yoruba man can't even buy land in the east, you guys claim being hated when tribalistic and islamophobic attitudes are your daily meals, same people who destroyed a mosque and attacked your fellow igbos because they were muslims. We hate you guys but patronise your businesses, we hate you but still employ your brothers.....lol you guys are the one playing the hate and bring him down politics and in actuality must Yoruba's really don't have your time....when last did you see us berating an igbo leader they way you guys berate tinubu. Lol flatin0s and victim mentality

You people praised PMB to high heavens, see where we are now.
The same way you people are praising Tinubu, as far as its one nigeria, we are obligated to correct you people so that you won't be dragging the country down with ineffectual selfish people again like Tinubu.
You fought to make us live with you because you realized our qualities. And you are ready to fight again if the need arises. So you must accommodate us because you moved our oil wealth to Lagos and we moved along with it.
You can't survive without us, so you must accommodate us.
You must patronize our business because we live together with you and gives you a cheaper option.
Yorubas also call igbos : Igbos, Igbos, okoro, Igbos, omo igbo, Igbos etc so it cuts across
Yorubas also call igbos Igbos

JohnSin97:
Well as long as no Igbo presidency am okay with that.

As far as yoruba does not deceive us again to rule for sixteen years I am also ok
I am also OK as far as nigeria remains the way it is.. I am OK. We die here

danilmo:
be realistic, who and who in SE is currently presidential worthy/material in APC if they most zone it??

only umahi which is a new member. infact u guys now hate him for such defection, how will he now get the bloc vote for presidential winning?

kalu is an ex convict that is hated general across d nation for d way he misgovern abia..

then who else??

if ure APC leader who is politically hell bent on retaining presidency will u still risk it with SE?? knowing an average IBO man hates APC??

without wasting time I think the pressure should b mount on PDP.. there are peter obi , Obiano and co that can represent..

I just see it as waste if time, hoping APC will zone presidency to SE.

infact it won't even work except Tinubu gives the order

APC can only zone to south and all southerner can test their popularity which tinubu faction would definitely win..

Wrong permutation
Anything that makes PDP pick a Muslim northerner and a SE VP then Tinubu and the SW should forget it.
You think PDP doesn't know why they don't want to zone it despite pressure from governor Umahi

JohnSin97:
Ebonyi only exists to most people as a name; nothing known about there.

What is it that you want to know about Ebonyin

JohnSin97:
It's nice seeing ipob pigs making threats and hurling insults for 2023 presidency...

If the SW doesn't get it, it's okay going to the north; we'll probably have the VP spot anyways. You can't threaten and insult you way to the hearts of voters; unfortunately the cretin IPobians haven't got the memo, they can't argue logically without slurs and insults.

There's some part of me which feels that osinbanjo will be a soft man who will be soft on ipob miscreants. Let the northern guys continue their python dance on ipob, SW should just make Amotekun stronger and involved move fulani/hausa on the boards of our companies. There's a great potential if the North and South West work together both politically and economically. As someone who owns farms in the north, politics and tribal differences aside I can say that they are hard working, easy going and honest people.

SE presidency is a pipe dream which can only happen in biafraland.

If it even happens it will end in tears after a single term.
Both ways the SE looses.

Be deceiving your self. You can't get the VP.
Let's watch and see.
Its the North East turn

tamdun:
PDP was the majority and they did not vote for yoruba to be the speaker, Gej could not(or don't want to) convince his party members to vote the woman despite being the majority and I hope u realised that obanikoro was a fuckin ambassador to Ghana, seriously?
Adesina was a minister, every state must produce at least one minister, so stop making it look like he did us a favour

Obanikoro was a minister of defence. Find out.
SW Yoruba with Tinubu connived with some ambitious PDP members like tambuwal to thwart the Yoruba candidate from winning.
Once you join SW APC with some PDP members that group has automatically become the majority the same game Saraki played on APC to become senate president that APC didn't want him to become.
If SW APC has yoruba at heart, why didn't you vote for person from osun state. Why?
Why did you vote for Tambuwal just because Tinubu doesn't want a rival in Yoruba land.
He doesn't want anybody of influence in Yorubaland apart from him. He is such a greedy and selfish fellow.
If you agreed that all states produced a minister, so where lies your accusations against Jonathan that he neglected you.
You were even properly represented in the military unlike what the igbos are experiencing now with this government.
You can now see that it was just propaganda campaign against Jonathan by you people. It's unfair.

I don't know why most yorubas were brought up to hate the igbos even though igbos don't have their time. The yoruba will just dedicate his time to want to bring an igbo down, exactly what is happening in my work place.

Live and let live please.
See the concerted effort you people are putting in demarketing igbos in the 2023 elections even though igbos have supported you in your own time. Habba

youngmonie:
Even country is feeling the adverse effect 9f covid bro, its not just limited to Nigeria. In the UK alone today a major retails company went out of Business with 25,000 people.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/business/0/job-losses-uk-coronavirus-covid/amp/

Stop comparing we and them
Covid didn't affect us the way it affected them

We have hot weather
Stop making excuses for this incompetent government

tamdun:
Oya na, tell what he did for south west, I take God beg u

He nominated a Yoruba from osun state to be speaker but tinubu thwarted it and opted for tambuwal.
His chief of defense staff was a Yoruba
His chief of air staff was Yoruba
Civil defense comptroller General was a Yoruba
Demola Seriki, adewunmi adeshina, obanikoro etc were all ministers under Jonathan.

Even from number one to five positions in the country there was no igbo.
1.jonathan
2.namadi sambo
3.david mark
4.tambuwal
5.chief judge who was a northerner

So what the hell have you people been shouting that he dominated his cabinet with Igbo's.
Oya explain this your propaganda against igbos.

As far as I am concerned Jonathan favoured the north more

Oya name the igbos let's see the dominance you are talking about.
Don’t also forget that Yoruba man preceded Jonathan with all the enjoyment therein

tamdun:
Between South west and Gej, who really betrayed who? So u expect sw to vote for Jonathan again after ignoring them for good 4 yrs?

You people know you are lying that jona never neglected you people. It's just Tinubu propaganda
Blame Tinubu for not supporting a SW candidate for the speaker.

The below is only for the wise people on Nairaland...
I got this from my Role model(s) online... [/b]....
Men and women of truth and caliber.


[b]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

No long grammar
The north should just continue if the SW cannot support an igbo presidency till they have sense and eschew greed.
They will still start another NADECO to fight oppression from the north from 2023. Mtchew.

The SW should stop asking the north for a rotational presidency because
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands

khalids:
When i hear our security agents say they have no info...

I ask don't we deploy undercover agents....Boko Haram has been on for so many years...by now should our security agent not have under cover agents within the ranks that can feed them the needed info....

What kind of intelligence agency are we running....

We only have
Intelligence agencies that are only running after social media users to track hate speech

All these funny funny excuse from this government.
Na wao

sokera:
thank you for promoting Jagabans name ... Everything now is Tinubu, even your dick weh no erect well Na still Tinubu

Yes it's Tinubu.
If you credit Fasholas successes in Lagos to him why wouldn't you also put PMB's failures on him too.
Afterall he brought and sold them to us.

You people were hailing him that he knows good leaders when he sees one

If PMB had been a success, you people wouldn't allow the internet and Nigerians to rest about how visionary he is.
Even with all these calamity you people are still praising him talkless of if things were good and OK

Bkayyy:
Nigeria!
So if you wake up and see somebody on your roof, that person has automatically turned to a wizard and deserves beating and burning.
Who do Una this thing?
Instead of you to call the police or better, find a way to help the innocent come down you are there snapping and praying to things you can't see or touch

But how was he able to climb the roof without a ladder?

Na Fashola build am

BlueBanana:
E be like say Buhari surname na Condemn. Condemn condemn Condemn, yet no actions.

Over 40 farmers killed in the most gruesome manner, in an established state like Nigeria in 2020 and the chief security officer comes to "condemn".

Effective proactive measures would have averted this carnage. Don’t condemn, you have don't they enough, swiftly work for justice.

The North is feeling the heat. This should be a warning to everyone in Nigeria about the consequences of voting in someone because he is their "son" or "brother"

That is why I like the way most yorubas are condemning Jagaban when he does wrong

Manab:
rubbish.

Thank God you know you typed rubbish.
Your people are not just sincere with the country.
Its unfair

After 60yrs see where we are. It's painful

Manab:
u need to take ur medicine before taking ur phone and types nonsense.

A response to the nonsense you first typed

Youngkhaleepha3:
Nairaland please leave our dear north brothers alone biko �
Is our land, our life ,our religion. And we ain’t complaining so leave our hisbah to do their work jare

The same way you were shouting its your life and your region when boko haram crept in
Now its no longer your life because you are sending Christian soldiers to go and fight your war and also using Christian money from the Niger delta to fight it.
You even created north east development commission to be using southern oil money also

Na wao
