Better quit that contract bank job rubbish.
You will cry of wasted years later

Any company job is better

TransflectTP:
They better call Calabar people to be standby just in case. Lol.

Jos people eat dog more than calabar

Brother please; genti:

First - if anybody claimed that "Yorubas deserve this or that", I would give them the same answer: work at it, not make noise about what you think you deserve. Other parts of the country have been far more politically astute than Igbos, and that's why they have the majority of the power.

Second - the desire for Biafra is perceived to be universal. In other words: most of the people who would make good allies are being turned off by secessionist rhetoric which (it must be said) Igbo politicians have been reluctant to denounce. If you're not seen to be speaking out against something, your silence amounts to consent (in the mind of the public).

Third - unlike SW and NC folks who work behind the scenes to consolidate power, what I hear from the SE is mostly: "we should be allowed to..." What I want to see is SE politicians (and agitators) working silently to get power. It's not by noise or by complaining... it's by building alliances.

Fourth - I'm not from the North, nor am I from SW. If we can't take constructive criticism from our own people, what do we gain? "Stoop to conquer" appears to be a saying lost on us.

Fifth - I'm still very upset that the Oba of Lagos asked us to "go an jump into the lagoon", and have refused to build anything or add any value in Lagos. I hope others from SS and SE will get tired of being insulted and develop our own place, and strengthen our political standing nationally. This is done with hard work, foresight, and dedication to the cause. Not by posting every other week that we deserve this or that. Ironically, by asking, it shows we're the weak ones (politically).

You know nothing, you are writing as if nigeria is an ideal society.
We have edge in academics. The north is insufficient in academics, the country introduced quota system to accommodate them
The north can't meet up on merit based appointments, the country introduced federal character to accommodate them

The east can't meet up in the military. Nothing has been done to make them catch up instead they are mocking them
The SW had a political brouhaha because of June 12th elections cancelation. The country compensated them with the president in 1999.
We all know about how the script of how OBJ was brought out from prison, pardoned and made president. We knew everything on the elections were formality.

Now the east is deficient in politics with their numbers, nothing is being done to integrate them instead you hear our Yoruba media with slogans like "igbos can’t reap where you didn't sow" to alienate them the more.
You hear yoruba media and editorials highlighting why igbos can't be president, how igbos have burnt bridges, how igbos have insulted every body. Yorubas are using their media to keep igbos down. You cannot have a 100% sanity in every society, so yorubas must look for one thing from the Igbo society to always use against us.
If you are igbo stop helping them to amplify their methods they are using to keep you down.

Not that the yorubas are free of what ever they are always accusing us it's just that we are not just doing the same "pull him down syndrome" that they are always doing to us

Remember they also have OPC, Ganiyu Adams who fought to take over ilorin, and are also fighting for oduduwa
Hope you know that the yorubas have compensated him with their highest military title
"aare ona kakanfo" - igbos have never written anything against this as a reason why yorubas can't rule as they would have done to us if we owned Ganiyu Adams.
While our own political leaders and governors came together to proscribe IPOB and label it terrorist. So wherein lies the silence of our leaders that you are talking about

I want you to reflect very well on the two scenarios that I painted on the last paragraph and you will know that we are the victims of hatred and unjust power play

famulan:
Tell the Igbos to move on too. They caused everything and now they're playing the victim card. The idiot called Nnamdi Kanu doesn't tell his ignorant followers the background story. He just shouts Biafra and refers to the Civil War as a genocide. As if Igbos didn't kill Nigerian soldiers.

When Igbos are ready to co-operate, they will do the right thing. For now, let's keep blaming ourselves... Since some of you think that's the solution.

No problem let's continue blaming so that country can develop

DEROX:
thats what am saying its far deeper than that 50 yrs ago saga projected to today mischiefs ok what will you say about how other countries see them like south africa even the colonial masters britain

I don't know if south hates igbos but I know that
South Africans were killing Nigerians. They weren't discrinating.

I don't even know that the British hate us
But I know that Britain always joined unlike terms as one country and leaves trouble behind eg India /Pakistan /Bangladesh /kashmir
And recently Hong Kong

famulan:
Nobody is frustrating you. Igbos killed Ladoke Akintola too, we never retaliated. Nobody killed Nnamdi Azikwe. He died peacefully in Enugu.

This is why I said Igbos don't know their own history. They were responsible for a lot of atrocities in our politics. All these Buhari and Obasanjo saw these things first hand. That's the reason Igbos are not trusted till date.

The Civil War wounds shouldn't last forever. It's time to move forward or this fighting will continue from generations to generations and the country will remain a shithole

famulan:
The north won't trust them since one of their own killed Ahmadu Bello. They must go under the cover and recommendation of Yoruba.

The whole problem began on Jan 15 1966. Those IPOB boys dont know their own history.

So Yoruba knows this and are always frustrating us

Correcto:
Ibos needs mainly the north to succeed.

If the people igbos left nigeria management are doing well with it. I wouldn't be bothered. But they are bastardizing the country

I believe we need the north too

BABANGBALI:
we want boat of them. Vickyrotex abi kini mo wi?

What is good for the goose...

DEROX:
Ok but why are igbos referred to as the most hateful tribe in Nigeria by other tribes?

Because they have fought a civil war to break away.
If they had succeeded, who do you think would have hated them or who would they have been hating

DEROX:
OK i believe you buh the percentage makes the difference how many fulanis abuse igbos compared vice versa

I don't know because most abuses are online.
If I meet any Yoruba, hausa or any other tribe.
No abuse goes on

DEROX:
ok but am sure name calling is different from insults i mean nickname such as afonja is different from calling them cowards betrayals lifeless toads

Let's forget about this we are all guilty.
Derogatory languages like
Pigs
Flat heads
Erosion ravaged regions
Poto Poto region
Fraudsters
Coward Ojukwu and Kanu
Gala sellers
are also used

Its mutual

Amalekki:
Fault finding won't lead us anywhere. If we are as intelligent as we think we are then we need to find a way forward, otherwise we are all arrogant fools no matter how hard it is to accept.

Way forward is to love one another because all I see is hatred that's why we will keep on dwelling on our faults

BABANGBALI:
People wey no know wetin dem want between presidency and Biafra

Talkative
Do you people want oduduwa or president

famulan:
The political profiteers would never say anything as the system currently favours them, but we all know the agitation for Biafra by Igbos is stronger than Arewa or Oduduwa calls.

Either ways, I support the Igbos to do whatever they want but they must stop the noise making. If your leaders can come together and decide on a referendum to leave, trust me, even Yorubas may leave. But stop blaming Yoruba, it is irritating.

Every tribe is guilty, forget about the ratio you attaching to it
Remember OPC once had its peak period. But nobody is amplifying it the way yoruba media would have done if OPC belonged to the igbos

Thats my grouse with the yorubas
Yorubas are the ones bringing out awareness to the north why igbos shouldn't rule

They are the ones going about with the slogan that igbos hate every body, why igbos are not fit to rule, why igbos shouldn't rule.
Everything against igbos stems from yoruba media

DEROX:
NO but only one tribe will say Fulani gworo chewing bastards, yaribanza idiots and still settle in their lands then they will come back and demand something(votes) from such people how possible brother

Igbos are also being abused
We are called "awon okoro"
'' omo nna"
"omo igbo"
"nyamiri"
We are have never used it to say they shouldn't rule
Names calling is insignificant because every tribe is guilty

nextstep:
It's the right of every Nigeria to produce a president. Let the candidates who want to run for president connect themselves to the right people, say the right things, raise enough money, and convince their party to pick them.

If an Igbo person - in spite of education, wealth, progressive attitude, pan-Nigerian support, cannot lift themselves to be a party's front line runner, that's that person's fault.

Constantly bringing up secession, antagonizing your hosts (in Lagos) with "we built this city", constantly disrespecting Northern sensibilities, being patronizing to minorities in the SS... those are not good ways to earn pan-Nigerian support. You can be brilliant without rubbing it in people's faces, constantly bragging. Instead, people like Baba Nwobodo should be working in the background, silently oiling the wheels for an Igbo presidency.

Stop writing rubbish
Which igbo politician has ever told you that he wants Biafra

After all OPC did in SW, has igbos written any long editorial while yorubas can't rule because of that
After all that you people did against igbos in the last elections in Lagos by flogging voters , no igbo has ever written any long editorial why yorubas can't rule because of that but you lots are justifying your bad actions

Erhun10z:
Sometimes I wonder who stoping igbos from producing the president

Yoruba editorial hatred writers against the igbos are the ones

martineverest:
the question now ,who will vote them?

u can't keep hating on other tribes (with condescending and ethnocentric mentality) and expect them to vote u in


Say no to tribalism!

The hatred is mutual

DEROX:
Like seriously thats just how they are they will abuse buhari curse tinubu but when they are marginalized they will start crying

You are writing as if marginalision is part of the constitution

famulan:
There are 2 big mistakes Igbos are making, thus limiting them from getting to the pinnacle of federal politics:

1. Thinking someone will come and give the presidency to them just because they feel like they deserve it.
2. Nursing and encouraging a secessionist agenda for the 2nd time.

Igbos must understand that if they are not ready to broker deals with political heads in the southwest and the north in general, 16 years to this time, there may never be an Igbo president.

Also the Nnamdi Kanu of a guy who they have given a cult followership has made the entire country see them as secessionists. So how can a region that calls Nigeria a zoo, wants to leave and is always quick to claim Biafran, be given the presidency? It doesn't work that way.

It is impossicant!

Stop writing maliciously
Has any igbo politician told you he wants Biafra?

Can you explain those behind oduduwa and arewa?

The wife doesn't love you again after meeting new persons in her OND studies that you trained her
She now feels she can do without you

Stop forcing people to love you
Be conscious of when somebody doesn't love you again and let go
Don't ever force love because you will be the looser at the end, you will always be playing second fiddle

These Americans self and Gods blessings na 5&6

Dareal90s:
We are enjoying our unity with every tribe in Nigeria, not only Fulani is in Nigeria..

Not only fulanis but they are the major actors and deciders of others fates.
And they have not wished others well especially on killings and displacements and sending indigenes to IDP camps

xcon:
SE wants to replace The North and SW in exploiting SS and it will be stupidity for any SS to replace one parasite with another parasite.

So you prefer two devils - SW and the north
To one devil - SE

Common sense should tell you to fight the other two existing devils and then it will be easier to fight and resist the other one

Dareal90s:
No true Yoruba wants Nigeria to divide, we don't want any foolish Oduduwa, those ones shouting oduduwa must av been brainwashed by some IPOBs, they ar greedy nd they mean nothing to d Yoruba's, they are bastards just like d Igbo's nd they are inconsequential. So you can go fxuck urself alongside them.

So you are enjoying your unity with the Fulanis

Hmnm, dalung
Don't just let Afonjas catch you ooo

You are only a good person once you support the killings and this government

So you people are not obeying rule of law

Your large numbers and supports does not remove the court ruling which Giadom has in his kitty

So you elders should stop running around circles

I love this description

Sagay212:
LMAO! who dash your papa N2b

Is that the lies your useless forefathers passed to you air heads? Agbari ojukwu put your daft forefathers into sadness and Awolowo has nothing to do with the foolishn.ess of an entire gullible tribe. Go and ask oju Iku for your imaginary N2b..kikikiki...weyrey say them cease him N2b....lol...the N2b wey you get from akube or olosho business

So how much did awo collect to give N20

Or didn't this event happen?

[quote author=xcon post=90955464][/quote]Stop deceiving your self
So you are gaining from SW and the north.
How come they kill you together with the igbos anytime they are on a religious killing spree

How many times have the Igbo man killed you for being from South South.
It is certain that hausas and yorubas are your slave Masters but it is not certain and there is no proof that igbos want to be your slave masters

The Yoruba economic contribution is a planned economic strategy by the FG.
It is not the fault of the SE that none has been planned for them.
Hope you know about their abundant gas at egbema.
Hope you know Imo, Abia and anambra has oil.
Hope you know enugu has coal.
So what else do you want from them

xcon:
. 5% statement refers only to SE.

How do you mean
5% is for the regions that didn’t vote him.
Or did SS vote him?
