Yes, they fought a good fight, mounting pressure until the North agreed with them along with some strong minded Southerners like Wike.
It would be even nobler for them to come together and tell us they too agree to go East. Imagine the respect they too would earn.
However, wishes are not horses. The mad politicking goes on.

OurTruth:


This isn't a work of fiction. It's the culmination of over 10 years of my research. I'm posting truth that has been supported by different sources. Every information I post is fact.

You can check my other threads.

Okay. I'll keep an open mind and read to the very last word.

Still waiting for you to continue. Even if it is a work of fiction, it is interesting enough and if it is real, I'm interested in learning.

Nigerians are veritable guinea pigs. Good as lab rats for everything negative. Little wonder they call us "happiest people" on earth.
How I wish we can pull an Arab Spring here in Naija and stop the obvious experimentation.

MangekyoAlt:
See the wild baboons protesting for bloody murderers. Abokîs, I say unto you......... Tempers are boiling down south. Millions are keeping tabs on your actions, and most importantly, what becomes of the Abokî murderers you're protesting for. We see how churches are burnt and business of southerners confiscated. You guys should be careful because if somehow this results to civil war, it won't just be Nigeria vs South east. Normally I trust that Igbo people alone can give you Abokîs a run for your money 1VS1. But add we the Niger deltans and south west...... The nature of the defeat.... The complete annihilation.... I'm not sure if words would be able to describe it.

Please don't leave out the middle-belters. The Yorubas are waking up and the middle belt guys are no longer down with one, united North. Ask Benue and Plateau people. It's a war they won't win.

Well... Your findings/observations are right, science students tend to dominate the top scorers...but I don't really agree with your assumption that only science students are brilliant, because I have seen some really bright chaps in the Arts al

Hmmmm.

I noticed that the science students are scoring high while art and commercial students are just average. Most 300+ I have seen are science students. I also noticed that the top ten highest-scoring utme students for the last 3 years have been science students with engineering students being very dominant.
Is there possibly a cause for this or are all the brilliant ones in science classes or my assumptions are wrong?

Frigga13:
IPOB is not Biafra
IPOB is not igbo.. igbos are members of IPOB

IPOB is an organization that have misled igbos .. igbos now wish to compare themselves to a region killing over 50 human in a day to justify the killing of igbos by their fellow igbos .. becauE they’re being called out ...is shameless and smelly

If IPOB and their bingo wan be Aboki .. let them continue .. even beheading all igbos let them do
If they want to sit at home forever .. led them sit

One thing is sure .. the spirit of Biafra has left that organization and any other organization claiming to be fighting for Biafra

No matter how they twist it .. IPOB will only bring more violence in igbo and will keep using zamfara and kaduna Yardstick for their violence

All this their online bingo are just tearing chest and beating dry hoofs based on emotions and voltrons defending igbos online from Yoruba and Hausa

Ask them what’s next and how they plan to get Biafra .. nothing !

They want to force the government to conduct t referendum ... by sitting at home and killing their economic that way those in katsina and Kano will suffer with their generation

Ana goheri.

Very silly..
Death to IPOB.
IPOB erigo those illiterates online .. and denigrated them to the level of jihadist

Let igbo land burn jare ... a Na emenu.

Biafra is a spirit .. and it lives for ever

Obed Azikiwe, Zik's father might have sold his soul for a penny, hoping his son rule the federation but not all Igbo's are Azikiwes.
Ojukwu fought a good war and lost with pride. Still not all Igbos are Ojukwu.
Biafra is a spirit that would prevail, if not now, in future. However, my question is why not now?

Before nko? How can Tinubu that has been working for Presidency for the past 16 years concede to anyone, or Osibanjo, with the backing of ex- presidents bar Jonathan and Buhari concede to anyone or Fayemi, buoyed by the usual disunity and betrayal curse of ancestor Afonja, concede to anyone!
If you don't know, know now - "We die there" is the slogan.
The slot belongs to the South-East and irrespective of the disunity amongst them, in the spirit of equity, it belongs to them. They will sort themselves out and present a candidate eventually. Let all others accept that and we shall have a country.

Dreamhighnow:


If it is the two oldies. Atiku will beat Tinubu

Really, u don't care for them oldies. However, I'm the totality of Nigerians. I'll have say, the majority would have their say and we'll bear the consequences together. So unfortunate.

Mooh247:




Over entitlement mentality on someone else property

You have 12 whole month to look for your next year rent and you claim you don't have it as at expiration of your rent you even want a reminder from your caretaker

You felt too busy to attend meetings in the house you reside, meeting regarding welfare of the house which is part of your core responsibility as a tenant

Your fiancee had a quarel with the owner of the property

You cursed the caretaker of the property

You better start looking for a new place because highest you can get is 3 month from the reciept of the first notice

Only in Nigeria will a Fool download Sokoloan App, read terms and conditions, collect loan spend it on frivolity and when the time to pay reaches he starts causing all sort of menace

You got 6 month quite notice but want a year free rent....

PS; on a lighter note... What if Buhari and Osinbajo decided to stay extra 6 month in Aso Rock Vila and Aguda house while they drag Nigerians to court



.

Your brain is working and working properly. I'd love to hate you for being so blunt but I can't help loving you.
When we get down to it, no court will ever tell a landlord to hand over his property to a tenant or allow a tenant to live in rented apartment perpectually without paying. It's a lost cause sooner or later. Why not seek, and pursue it like the Bible advised? If leaving would bring you peace of mind, why show anyone pepper? Fools die.

Nova1988:


I'm not yoruba, but y'all need to stop this shit.

it doesn't make sense at all. y'all will just be behaving like teenagers.

Really, it makes no sense. Sometimes, I long for Reddit and Quora cos of childish behaviours like this.
I keep coming back to Nairaland simply cos nah we own and there is no substitute. Maybe, someday, our children will grow. Amen.

Unzerious:
Why are our Governor's Daft? This man isn't a Pauper. He made a lot of Money from his years of Banking. He was a GMD of Zenith Bank.
This Politicians should grow up and stop Chasing Clout.

#Meffy2023

That's not the point. All politicians paying 100 million naira are all rich enough in their own right. The question is if it is right to head Central Bank and still run for President without resigning. It's an ethical issue rather than personal sentiment, as all civil and public servants are supposed to resign before contesting for elective positions.
For me, it's Peter Obi first, Yemi Osinbajo next and any other sensible person.

Dreamhighnow:
Lol

So you are telling me ashiwaju is not aware of jubrin political problem if is true in the first place. So Ashiwaju just got interested only when the issue has now turn to a public discuss

All these guys doing media permutation for Tinubu. Cos of money from Asiwaju you want to ruin this country future. We don't need any career politicians again. Nothing new will come out from them except lies. Tinubu disgrace himself in Edo recently

I don't dislike Tinubu as a person. But saying of making him another docile and weak president for the next 8 years after Buhari negative impact on the nation

Guys please for the sake of this country. Let vote in someone who has both the physical and mental capacity to revitalise this nation

Well, as for me I support Osinbajo

Peter Obi or Yemi Osinbajo for me. I can not fault Tinubu and Atiku for trying for so long and wanting it so bad but our federation needs a breather and this old guys do not have what we need.
However, from what I foresee, its Tinibu against Atiku in the final race. Kill me if you like but it's just my frank opinion.

KLM....since everyone just dey put alphabet as comment.

Really, this is thread-worthy. Why are you hiding it the comments? It should be the subject attracting all the comments and not part of a thread's comment.

MikeBetty:
Misplaced priority. Well, my vc is a woman, who will go to turkey between her and the husband? Is the husband going to turkey as the wife of vc?

Lol. Exactly! There are a few male spouses to some female V.Cs. They should just pay and go to Turkiye to keep the over-fifty women company for almost a most. I'm almost sure things won't remain the same after the trip.

Look at the woman's eyes. You never see the eyeballs as the eyelids are almost always closed like a person in a trance. This woman go love sex die and I doubt if two husbands would do in the long run.

MadamVanessa:





Yoruba Muslim miscreants and demonic/evil tendencies are
like Siamese twins , can't be separated.

They pride themselves in killing, harvesting people's heads,
vandalizing grave to mine skulls for rituals. Upon all these, I
haven't seen any significant thing that they achieved through
rituals. They still live in penury and asslick Tinubu for
crumbs.

As in...., they are never rich yet they keep doing it. Look at them closely, you will see them wearing cheap Ankara and looking haggard. It is really stupid. A girl doing dogs for 1.5 million naira and possibly hurting herself in the process is far better than a full grown man killing someone else for 50,000 naira. Smh.

I don't know the criteria for evaluation or the source but I like these statistics. Maybe, this should be taught among other things during career day talks. If I knew this while younger, I'd have been more careful in my choice of career. I no like wahala at all.

You did not put entertainment industry, sports and criminality. These are important industries too, given Davido vs Whizkid, Ronaldo vs Messi and Hushpuppi vs Super Cop stories.

TheScientist:
Other news outlets are good. They are living up to their mandate. However, there is something special about Nairaland. The comments from young and vibrant nairalanders, make the news extra-interesting. Although some comments are divisive, most of them are educative.

My first day on Nairaland was a bliss. I learned so much that my brain was almost filled. What amazes me the most is the ability of nairalanders to analyze every statement and decode the real intent behind such a statement.

Nairalanders are truly intelligent. The only thing I hate about Nairaland is tribal war.

Nairaland entails what you said and so much more. I maintain that it's our local Quora and Reddit combined. For instance, as a writer, you need alpha readers, beta readers, proofreaders and critics before you can publish and these cost a lump sum of money. However, writers in the Literature Section of Nairaland are getting these things for free, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
I just adore Nairaland despite more crazy people domiciled in the comment section. They add gloss to pages with their divergent, even if abnormal, submissions.

Wanbissaka:
Na so you suppose allow popo make them bundle am. Na pedophile that yeye man be

Not a paedophile but a borderline hebephile/ephebophile. Still, I agree with you that he ought to be bundled to where he doesn't see the sun often.

As long as you keep it up North, no problems. You brought this upon yourself in your stupid quest for power and absolute dominance. It's only unfortunate that Nigeria's Commonwealth is used to fund insurgency and counter-insurgency.
To Goodluck Jonathan that refused to cling on to power knowing what you planned for the whole of Nigeria, I doff my hat.

Dem just start. Bubu's regular trademark is to see people live impoverished lives in the name of growing the economy. it happened in 1983-1985, it has happened again.
All the printers in my area have closed shop in the past two weeks cos they cannot afford the price of diesel, among other materials. That is how to grow the economy fast.

You are already a confirmed hypocrite. You knew he was not your type but you allowed him to nurse your broken heart and fix your broken life.
Do what you must in the name of love since you know what your heart wants. However, be sure that you will someday wish you listened to your brain rather than your heart.

More than one casualty in very unstable conditions. I suggest you call the coroner.

Yes. Go through the regular ritual of making the right choices, working hard at whatever you do, maintaining good interpersonal relations relationships anywhere you find yourself, praying for luck and using your opportunity well whenever it comes. You may not be as rich as Dangote but you'll sure get by life comfortably enough.

And I came under the sun and I saw a new thing, that the race is not to the swift, not food to the wise..........but time and chance happens to them all.

Mikelarteta:
Acting president and we no hear him name since?

Nwafor Orizu was the third senate president After Nnamdi Azikiwe (quit senate presidency to be the ceremonial president in November 1960) and Dennis Osadebay (quit to be premier of Mid Western region). Orizu was in power for 6 months between 1965 and 1966 and he handed over power to Agunyi Aronsi. Stop feeding us with craps in form of info and tell us fact. What is that crap about second senate President?

AreaFada2:


Rotimi is zero SW. His father admired the legendary lawyer Rotimi Williams popularly called F.R.A. Williams, the first person to become SAN in Nigeria. He named his son after him. Tribalism was not so bad back then. His father never personally knew or met Williams though. That is how Amaechi explained why he's called Rotimi.

Lol.
