AuntLaVIV:
[color=#000099]Though this explanation is totally unnecessary particularly in the quest to build a stronger eastern region economically. But I needed to put forward some of these facts to correct some misinformation particularly the guy that commented last. Anambra is by far the state with the largest economy(GDP) in the southeastern region and this should not be questioned by any informed mind. Below is the GDP of the state as at 2011, and I am very certain it must have grown far beyond what it was in 2011.

I guess you didn't even comprehend the article you quoted. It was stated in it that the study was conducted on 6 RANDOM pilot states, one from each geopolitical zone. It wasn't done on the basis of states with the highest GDP. It is on record that Nigerian statistics puts Imo at 5th position, well ahead of Anambra in terms of GDP (the record is there, you can google it). However, I'm surprised that you are okay with the statistics that put Cross River and Niger as both having a higher GDP than Anambra but angry that Imo is said to be ahead of Anambra?? What sort of local champion/crab mentality is that??

Just look at their blood shot eyes, a typical example of drug addicts!! Cursed country filled with savages and barbarians. Tufiakwa!!

*#ThisIsNigeria: With The Aid of Terror, Buhari Is Forcefully Confiscating Land, Budgeting Billions For Fulani Herders*

1. Buhari since assuming power has been rapidly budgeting billions for Fulani cattle rearers, the group to which he belongs. The terror has been used as a means of pushing for Senate, NEC, NGF meetings and rapid billions approvals.
https://guardian.ng/news/benue-groups-kick-over-n170-billion-vote-for-cattle-ranches/

http://sunnewsonline.com/fg-to-spend-n5-30bn-on-national-grazing-reserve-development/

2. The Fulani herders have repeatedly threatened that only if they get land can there be peace:

http://dailypost.ng/2018/06/30/plateau-killing-miyetti-allah-gives-reasons-therell-no-peace-slams-fulani-lawmakers/

2. Buhari has been seizing and allocating land to the cattle rearers as his top function. While other needy Nigerian sectors have never gotten such attention including the starving and poisoned farmer and fisherman victims of oil polluted waterways of the Niger Delta. The wealthy owners of the cattle are getting these seizures of land across the states by priority government fiat:

https://www./2018/04/27/see-the-five-states-where-fg-has-approved-ranching/

3. The Buhari government itself is directly involved in terrorizing the people by promoting the terror threats issued by Fulani terrorist herders directly and openly on national TV:

Give Up Your Ancestral Land For Ranches Or Continue To Die – Buhari:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO8jFbNwteg
Buhari via media aide, severally repeats threat "Give up your ancestral land or die" on National TV:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvK_POZz8NA

4. Youth and community leaders are beginning to riot over the land seizures. the mainstream media is paid to be quiet and report the riots as random unrest without writing that they are due to the land seizures.

Nasarawa: https://newsrescue.one/locals-kick-as-nasarawa-gov-dedicates-their-land-as-grazing-ranch-without-consulting-rulers-stakeholders-youth/
Taraba: https://newsrescue.one/taraba-irate-youth-riot-confiscation-of-communal-lands-by-nigerian-authorities-stone-police-commissioner/

See NAN report on the riots where the irate youth even stoned the Taraba police commissioner. Notice NAN left the reason for the uprising out of the report:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/276717-rampaging-youth-stone-injure-police-commissioner.html

5. Buhari, ElRufai etc have openly declared their allegiance to Fulani nationhood over Nigeria. ElRufai has threatened as reads "We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes." https://twitter.com/elrufai/status/224577000218689537?lang=en

ElRufai has further admitted paying Fulnai terrorists even outside the nation's borders involved in the killings in Nigeria:
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/weve-paid-fulani-stop-killings-southern-kaduna-el-rufai/

Buhari has declared that had he not been gainfully employed, he would possibly have been a Fulani terrorist:
http://dailypost.ng/2018/04/27/part-herdsmen-attacking-people-buhari/

When caught in the act of betraying Benue people, Buhari refused to check his police chief for allegedly removing special forces against his orders. Nothing was done to the IG for this act in aid of Fulani terror:
https://newtelegraphonline.com/2018/03/didnt-know-igp-disobeyed-orders-killings-buhari/

Buhari's IGP has actually openly announced that he will not pursue herder terrorists:
Benue Killings: Why we’re not going after killer herdsmen now – Police:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/255152-benue-killings-not-going-killer-herdsmen-now-police.html
http://dailypost.ng/2018/03/01/police-cant-arrest-punish-herdsmen-igp-idris/
https://allafrica.com/stories/201801110211.html

The Buhari government vehemently refused to proscribe Fulani terrorists as such, in spite of their acts above the law and open admission to terrorism.
https://ynaija.com/fulani-herdsmen-not-terrorists-garba-shehu/

Compare to how the Buhari government rapidly massacred 1000 unarmed minority Shia Muslims in Kaduna and buried them in a mass grave secretly in the middle of the night and immediately proscribed the organization; since illegally detaining the leader, his wife and over 100 other members: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/208701-zaria-massacre-months-silence-buhari-promises-appropriate-response.html

Also compare to how over 100 Igbo were massacred and also secretly mass buried in Onitsha Military cemetery:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/investigationspecial-reports/205176-special-report-onitsha-massacre-pro-biafra-supporters-coordinated-sss-operative.html ) and how IPOB was rapidly proscribed.

6. Amnesty International, TY Danjuma, others have assessed and directly accused the Buhari administration of aiding the herder terror killings.

Amnesty International raised the issue of no security response for a full 7 hours of terror on the people of Jos during #PlateauMassacre:

God bless whoever chronicled these events, all these will come handy as exhibits that would nail buhari for life at the ICJ. If Charles Taylor could be jailed, then I don't see why buhari shouldn't. All these innocent people will not die in vain without anyone answering for it!!!

Chai, 62 soldiers lost in one day? Yet the country is not officially fighting any war!! They are even denying it out of shame despite the fact that those 62 soldiers are human beings with families.

Most Nigerian ethnic groups have always ascribed to produce the president of Nigeria right from the moment the British people left the shores of Nigeria in October 1, 1960. But before they left, they made sure that all other regions of Nigeria would always be at the mercy of the North if they ever want to rule the country and it has remained so till today.

Many people have argued in the past that the major reason why Igbos will never produce a president is because they are not united but this is just fallacy because even if Igbos present one candidate and the north is not in support of him, then it's already dead on arrival. The same applies to Yorubas and the Niger Delta minorities.

Below are the reasons why an Igbo man becoming the president of Nigeria will bring absolutely no benefit to the Igbos.

1. Unlike presidents of northern extraction who can rule like emperors and get away with it like buhari is doing today, the moment an Igbo president tries it, he will be impeached the next day! Buhari has committed series of impeachable offenses yet nobody would dare impeach him but the moment an Igbo president tries it, the yorubas would first demonize him through the press together with northern senators who would immediately move motions for his impeachment while the outnumbered Igbo senators and their sympathizers from the Niger Delta would just be helpless. In fact, such Igbo president would always be watching his back and would always try to please the north in order to save his neck!

2. An Igbo president would still need the support of the North both for him to win re-election or to implement any policy. For instance, an Igbo president can not seek for loans to build a rail line between Enugu and Onitsha without the approval of the house, and these people would certainly not allow it except another one is first built between Kano and Sokoto.

3. Igbos in the North will suddenly become a blackmail tool. The moment the unfortunate Igbo president tries to do anything the north believes is not in their interest, they would start threatening to cause riot in northern cities and destroy Igbo interests in their region, including lives and properties.

4. The Nigerian army will always sabotage such Igbo president. It is an open secret that the NA is more or less controlled by Fulanis, and they will not be completely loyal to an Igbo president the way they would to a northerner. GEJ found himself in exactly this same situation during the run-up to the elections when the NA suddenly began to abandon equipment in any slight encounter with Boko Haram and go on "tactical maneuver". It became so bad that GEJ had to import mercenaries from South Africa to fight Boko Haram before he recorded some success.

5. Igbo presidency is now the new distraction strategy by the northerners to make Igbos forget about the agitation for restructuring or outright breakup. It may sound as a surprise to many, but the truth is that north will be hoping for Igbos to get the president because they knew it will be a Greek gift since they know they will still call the shots and determine what happens in the country but at the same time it will take the sail out of Igbo agitations and calm the polity. They know that things can't continue the way it is in Nigeria today and with Igbo anger and frustration against the Nigerian state which is gradually getting to a crescendo, only an Igbo president could calm things and they will be very willing to concede it.

6. Igbos will never be allowed to present their best candidate for the president if/when the northerners finally concede it to Igbos, rather, they will look for characters that are loyal to the north, and people like Rochas will be nominated and made the president against the choice of the Igbos. This is exactly what they did to the Yorubas who wanted Olu Falae but the north refused and forced Obasanjo on them.

Igbos should forget about becoming the president and continue with their agitations for either restructure or breakup. We have the resources and manpower to get it even without carrying arms because pen is mightier than the sword. Many would want to right off the agitations by Igbos as mere efforts in futility but the truth is that the agitation is certainly making them very uncomfortable and would definitely bring forth results if the momentum is sustained.

BabaRamota1980:


Not only because they didnt get biafra but that the invention failed to change the course of war. They were better off without it.

Reason America took out Iraq is because Saddam did not have nuclear. They are hesitant on attacking Iran or N.Korea.

Weapons are meant to deter and where detterence failed to teach, demolition would.

Thats what happened in Iroshima. Japan failed to be deterred by American weapons. They paid a price.


That ogbunigwe never worked, its a dud!

Shame no dey catch you? Do you know how many decades it took North Korea or Iran to develop nuclear weapons?? Yet you want Biafra, a country that was under severe attacks and aerial bombardment right from the moment it was declared to develop nuclear weapons within a few weeks?? Do you even know that it was sheer ingenuity and uncommon determination for Biafra to have developed such weapons of mass destruction at such a time?? Do you even know how the North was during that same period that you had to import virtually everything from arms down to mercenaries from Egypt to fly your bombers that were freely given to you by your colonial masters despite having significant numerical advantage of having the rest of the country fighting the Igbos??

justtoodark:


how do you wipe out a people by only blockading them....??
una are not making sense.....

you said you can do without us,we said okay,you dont need our food then....how is that trying to wipe out.....

Honestly, it's either you are a kid or adult with low IQ. Do you even understand what a blockade is? Let me inform you Incase you don't know, Britain used frigates and naval warships to block the Bight of Biafra while Nigeria gifted Cameroon with Bakassi peninsula to ensure that Biafra did not import anything at all, including food, arms, medical equipment etc and along with a no fly zone across Biafra, the blockade ensured that millions of kids died of starvation and lack of medical attention. Who told you that our food was coming from the north?? During that period, the East was self sufficient in food production. No region or country ever survived blockade, you can google about the WW11 and the siege on some Russian regions as well as the Yugoslavian war that led to mass starvation and deaths of the besieged people. Facts released by wiki leaks shows that Britain knew that Biafra would roundly defeat Nigeria if they failed to intervene. The defeat of Biafra by these combined evil forces was a triumph of bad over good, mediocrity over excellence, progress over backwardness, imperialism over Africa, Whites over Blacks (because the same way we have technologically advanced countries in Europe, America and Asia is just the same way we would have had technologically advanced countries in Africa today if Biafra had succeeded. Have a look at the faces of those men in the first page picture and see the determination in their faces as they carried those Biafran inventions, and to show how amazing it is, this was way back in 1960's!!!

Indeed, in Biafra, Africa and the black man died!! Imagine how technologically advanced Biafra became within a very short while despite the combined forces of Britain, Russia and Egypt as well the rest of Nigeria that ganged up against Igbos yet we were able to hold them off for three years and even inflicted severe losses on them in the Battle fronts but just like the shameless cowards they are, they had to resort to blockade by telling the British to block the Bight of Biafra and dashing Cameroon the Bakassi peninsula as incentive for them to deny Biafra access to the world through their own end!! Millions of innocent Biafran kids died of starvation and we had to surrender. Now look at them today, from the north to the south and west, is just filled with misery, killings, poverty, hopelessness, destruction, backwardness etc. The worthless country has country has continued to retrogress indefinitely while the rest of the world including other African countries has now left them behind. The only story we keep hearing about the North is killings and destruction, Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and so many other terror groups that keep springing up on a daily basis!! The north is today the most fertile ground in the world where Islamic terrorist cells can recruit foot soldiers with so much ease!! Cursed and hopeless country!!!

sexdoll:


wither thy sense oga?

you are one of the most senseless dolts i've ever come across on this nairaland.

well sha, i know you're only joking so let's keep it like that.

Don't mind the miserable and frustrated !diot who is busy transferring his aggression to others who does not even care if he exists. He will certainly commit suicide if he continues on that path.

MrNigeria2018:


What a Worthless thing!

You can’t even quote my write up.

Pig! I spit on you.

You're just a dirty and ret.ard.ded bast.ard. It's not your fault that internet has afforded you the anonymity to hide and throw shades at people who are light years ahead of you. I could hazard a guess that you're one miserable, hungry and ugly looking !diot who still lives with his parents in a mud house somewhere in oshogbo.
It's obvious that you're frustrated with life and it's apparently progressing towards the fatal stage where you will end up committing suicide. You can enjoy your phantom two minutes of imaginary fame where you are a nairaland billionaire but remember that you will log out of your two thousand naira phone and 10MB data to face your real life misery
Worthless p!ece of trash!!!

Koolking:
Poor Jokers chasing shadows. If they have the balls they should go Abuja to demonstrate.

Next please

Abuja is irrelevant, Hague is where the ICC is located and is certainly the best place to call out and embarrass the terrorist who claims to be a president. The decision that led to the creation of this unfortunate country was taken in Europe and not Abuja or anywhere in Africa so we will continue to campaign all over Europe and America until the zoo is dissolved.

I love this

[quote[s] author=MrNigeria2018 post=69439580].

I brought IPob into this conversation cos it beats my imagination that some people can be that senseless and useless like iPob members who to follow a Moronhh


Shut the Bleep up you worthless dimwit. And shove that freaking garbage you wrote up there up your fuckingg black ass you fuckingg Wimp.

I only compare that slowpoke to senseless Zombies like you and fellow iPob.

How on earth would a sane adult wake up in the morning and decide to follow a blind man like Nnamdi Kanu who has no pedigree to fight on the streets like street urchins?

Can you compare how the leaders of Catalonia demand for independence from Spain to that senseless slowpoke?

I only compare him to those senseless iPob followers.

And finally, [/quote[/s]] All noise yet no sense. Such a worthless piece of sh!t.

They are suffering from iberiberism to even debate that rubbish, nonsense!!

MrNigeria2018:



Just imagine this girl is here to read this senseless comment

How do you think she ll feel as human?

Honestly you deserve a Grammy Award for the most stupid Non-living Nigerian that ever liveth.

Monkey is what you are.

Óbò-Monkey

Only an iPob can write such a senseless comment

I am 100% sure you are either an iPob or their kinsman.

No other Nigerians could make such thought-provoking comment

Ode ni bobo shaa!!!

Moving on...

What a pretty girl!!!

If i want to surprise the whole world, i ll marry her and treat her like a Queen being a Yoruba man.

It’s in our DNA to treat women right unlike our neighbors in the Sun rising or dying part of our great country.

I like her physique.

All she needs is enough money to employ the service of best cosmetic surgeon(Certified) to reduce those scars and get permanent hair fixed for her.

If you dare me, i ll do it and probably employ you to serve as her driver or maid.

You're just a self righteous piece of sh!t, and most likely in the same class with the person you quoted!! Read the trash you wrote above and tell me if it made an ounce of sense to you. What has IPOB got to do with what that bingo wrote?? And you even had to insinuate he is Igbo or IPOB even when nothing suggests such, and to bring out the bigot in you, you also mentioned that you are Yoruba when it was totally uncalled for. Are you in any way better than the average IPOB member out there? Fvrking hypocritical kettle calling pot black!!

Atikusadvocate:



You are an first class idiot, an unchangeable nincompoop, a physical specimen with a functional but hideous inside. Yuh represent everything repugnant about humanity and life in general. If I am God, I would have made you an undying maggot that live off the shit of disease infested lepers. It is because of people like you, that diseases where created to punish humans. If I was your mum, I would have aborted you. If I was your father, I would have strangled you as a baby. If you where my dog, I would tie a block one your neck and drown you. If I was your doctor, I will terminate you. You deserve to be disabled on all Limbs, then blinded, skinned alive, branded a devil and finally, thrown alive into a public pit toilet. If you are in game of thrones, you should be Theon Greyjoy-Reek.

Jesus Christ, this is brutal savagery and akin to crushing a fly with a sledgehammer!! Damn it, the person you quoted must now be reeling like he was jammed by a trailer, choi

otosa:
but at this point, does it mean that we citizens, we don't know what we want and what of APC's recommendation on Restructuring and why the media house also stop talking about it?

The northerners will only take the South serious when we present them with only two options I.e restructure or breakup! When Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were seriously threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria, you saw how these same northerners began to talk about restructuring but immediately Nnamdi Kanu's home was eventually invaded and he was declared missing, they felt that the threat of breakup has been averted and once again it's business as usual. Most Southerners are just paying lip service to the demand for restructuring and until the North sees there is a determined and resolute demand for it, they will never accept it and that can only happen when the whole South speaks with one voice and backs it up with actions just the way IPOB threatened them.

madridguy:
I'm with Emir Sanusi on this. Our politician are just useless fabricating different " terms " everyday for their selfish interest.

Why am I not surprised that you are in support of what Sanusi said, smh. If you are indeed yoruba, then you are a big disappointment to say the least. Why do you worship the northerners? You reverence buhari, sanusi and all the northerners because of obvious inferiority complex. The supposed educated and progressive South has remained at the mercy of a retrogressive north due to the likes of you! You seriously need to emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Lol, that says it all. The Hausa fulani would rather go to war than accept restructuring. These guys want to continue leeching on others forever!? Just look at what a northern emir is saying, calling calls for restructuring hate speech!? And mind you, what emir sanusi said captures the mind of 99.9% of northerners. If the northerners are sensible, they would support restructuring because as things stand now, that's the only thing that can save this country from ultimate break up. The fault lines keep widening as time goes on and it will certainly get to a tipping point soon.

Good, no hiding place for the terrorists!

DoTheNeedful:



You are very funny. Develop where? Many of them left the SE with almost nothing, traveled to other parts of the country to do business and make money they never made at home. However, many of you in your typical chest-beating will claim that they went to develop those places.

I left Nigeria for greener pastures, it would be arrogant and stvpid for me to brag much later to say I came to the country I reside to develop it. If Nigeria was better, I shouldn't have left.

Another load of trash!! The Chinese and Indians are all over Africa developing it and sending remittances to their home countries now does it mean that Africa is more developed than China and India??
But as for using yourself as example, you can't leave Nigeria and travel as an asylum seeker/illegal immigrant and be working as a dishwasher in a downtown restaurant or toilet cleaner and claim you are developing their place Rather you can be compared to abo.kis from the North and Niger republic who do odd jobs in other parts of Nigeria with little or no significant contribution to those local economies.

uba1991:
and u are writing dis rubbish from lagos,also on a yoruba owned forum.

What you wrote here is very childish and unintelligent to say the least. So everyone is now based in Lagos? Even if he is based in Lagos as you claimed then how is that your business?? Can a Zulu South African accuse a Bantu for leaving in Jo'burg?? Can an Ashanti man from Ghana accuse an Ewe man for living in Accra?? Why are you guys from the waste so primitive in reasoning?? You even asked why he is posting on nairaland!? Are you kidding? Don't yorubas post on Facebook, Linda Ikeji blog, vanguard etc?? You people always claim to be educated yet still reason so backwardly. I'm still trying to understand why a message by an Igbo woman to fellow Igbos is giving you guys running stomach. Tufiakwa!!

LaudableXX:

Don't mind her and the people she is preaching her one-sided sermons, to. I thought after her gospel, she would have relocated all her assets and properties to the SE. How come they are still in the SW and NC?

Why are you angry and taking it personal that our beautiful daughter is asking her fellow IGBOS to invest in our homeland?? Are you scared that your economy will collapse or what?? FYI, what she said is already happening our industries are increasingly being built in the East more than ever before.

I just love this woman, a combination of beauty and brain is a perfect combo. I believe there is already renascence and Igbo nationalism going on at the moment and unlike in the past when it was fashionable to invest outside the SE, doing so now would be nothing but absolute madness. The whole north is unsafe, Lagos is filled up and congested and also unsafe to a certain extent while East is largely peaceful, has a huge market and improving infrastructure. The East is the new frontier.

I can see two zombies masturbating on the thread already. One of them claims to be a suya seller yet he sleeps and wakes up on nairaland looking for where buhari is mentioned so he can suck his balls.
Kudos to the legendary Jay Jay and other men of goodwill who will always call out the terrorist in Abuja for his mediocrity, incompetence and wickedness.

Others include perseverance, delayed personal gratification, living below your means, never taking customers for granted, being flexible to adapt to changes.

Good one, I'm happy that IPOB have finally made peace with Ohanaeze. Closing ranks with our elders is important at this point in time because these are perilous times and only people that are prepared and wary would survive and weather the storm of the jihadists and terrorists whose ultimate goal is to conquer the South.

Imagine the whole of Western Europe being lumped together as one country the same way the British imperialists lumped different diverse nations together and called them Nigeria.Wont the Germans, French, English, Dutch etc be at each other's jugular?? Why do they have so many countries with small population of less than 20 million and landmass that respects each other's ethnicity yet they gathered hundreds of distinct black ethnicities and dumped them together as one country?? Why didn't they respect our diversities just like them in Europe?? Or is it because we are blacks?? Or was it even on purpose to make sure we continue to fight each other perennially and remain backward instead of having no distractions that would make us focus on our individual well being and development?? If it's about market size, can't we have independent or pseudo independent nations that respects ethnicities while we still come together under one union without trade barriers like they have in EU?? Africans and blacks should think critically because if we continue like this we will end up killing each other.

A very thought provoking thread. Good job op, Nigerians need such enlightenment to actually know that outright breakup or at least a very loose federation is what they need to be able to develop and evolve as a modern nation.
