I'm a southerner,
ábúm ónyé igbò

Being Igbo or not isn't my concern but my point up there.
Does letter "a & e" in Igbo have those marks you gave them? Same way the "o" in "onye" & "Igbo" are not supposed to have marks as they are in the class of "Udaume aro"

SonofDevil:
Activi-prenuer is no longer lucrative, hunger has hit baba in gbas gbos manner.
It has now dawn on him to make himself useful by facing his career and business.

If you have a known job before becoming activist ,trust me you won't quit, because pdp have made it an habit of dolling out cash gifts and employing whosever that criticize them ,many people decided to join activism with the aim of sharing national cake.

Unfortunately bubu doesn't give a fvck .las las all the activi-prenuer will go and look for work.then the real activist will remain

Bibi doesn't give a Bleep. So true same way he doesn't give a Bleep about bloodshed by Boko boys, bandits, Fulani herdsmen and their likes.
Who loses at the tail end? You

Sirjamo:
ATM Atiku has stop paying

Yes and now drives of blood shed in the hands of Boko boys are now paying

FarFromAverage:
Bro, I ain't wishing you harm or bad. But know that everything is turn by turn, and stage by stage. You'd get your share in painful way or in a soar way.

Bros shut up, you Northerners are just so shameless (sorry to say)
Imagine what BH is doing yet you guys support them, having religious inclinations to them.
You support and vote your wicked politicians and now here is the result. Common IDP camps, your people in govt are looting and sleeping with victims in exchange for food.
You guys are the worst in this country when it comes to looting. Over 45% of Nigeria's oil eealth isn't controlled by FG but by private Northern individuals.
Now, one stupid guy is proposing a ministry for BH rehabilitation while the soldiers who died by their guns have their families in disarray.
You guys are wicked to your own

oyatz:
This is good but it also have it's challenges both legal and extra-legal challenges.

1) Once IPOB members get elected, they too will face the same problems currently being faced by our political leaders.

2) Fighting for Biafrans and having good experience about governance with track records of achievements to deliver aren't exactly the same thing.

E.g How will an IPOB Governor clean up the mess in Aba? How will IPOB Governor get enough funds within four years to tarr several kilometers of roads with covered concrete drainages, pedestrian walkways and still be able to pay good salaries on time?

Does IPOB have any magic wands to develop the S/East? All these will show their limitations and the allures about being the 'defenders of the Igbos' will fizzle out

Oyatz my brother first don't mind that guy who calls other people brown roof when brown roofs exist everywhere.
To your point on funds for development;
Fund isn't all that is needed for development.
Does the Abia govt need money to clear the first in ABA? Not necessarily cos we can do a lot with the little we have like;
1) What are those prisoners doing?
Why not bring them out in batches to work under strong security? Those with 5yrs imprisonment can be reduced to 3yrs if they can do a clean up worth N250k salary for 1yr.
2) Cut wastes. Must security votes be spent? Why not spend it on human capacity building.
3) Stop appointing aides due to party affiliation but by expertise and performance.
4) Stop religious & ethnic bias of any nature
Bros just these four to start with and see how much turnaround one can make

Wickedfacts:
Go and look at the entire SE today. What have they achieved in terms of leadership? Look at Abia and look at Enugu. Look at Anambra and look at Imo. Any progress? Even the Ohaneze just keeps talking rubbish. Those running after Kanu got killed but that animal is the most selfish leader I've ever seen. Came back crying over a dog.

Fix the leadership problem plaguing Igboland and maybe things would get better. You can't elect someone like Ikpeazu and be blaming Nigeria for your misfortunes. Those who elected him deserve to suffer.

Have you been to these places you mentioned?
Aside Abia, all those states above have figures to speak for them.
I am from Anambra and I can tell you that I'm proud of my state politically except for this Obiano's 2nd tenure which has seen road structures deteriorate.
Oga, I have been to Abuja, Kogi & all SW state's and I can tell you I'm proud of Anambra.
The SE came out of a war with hardly no infrastructure but can compare with other region is certain indices.
Just Boko Haram only and Borno & the NE is lost, so keep calm and be truthful

itsme01:
If you know the meaning of Narcissism you wont even bother bringing it to this conversation because the definition best describe a particular section of the country whose love for self admiration , selfishness , greed for money and false sense of self worth is second to non

anyways I would have asked you to do your own research but let me help you with the link https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/pdp-reportedly-pays-us-firm-n400m-to-win-election-for-atiku/ptfbh65

First, this news said nothing about Atiku's trip to the US but a campaign structure, guidance & advocacy. This also shows how stupid & shameless our elites can be. Besides, not just the PDP but the APC as well; both shameless thieves.
You first mentioned narcissm, refering to people who came out to appreciate a man who built a road that causes huge gridlock uptill upper iweka, Onitsha.
So, what's the correlation with your mention of narcissm?
You're just being mischievous. If we didn't applaud him same you would claim we were ingrates.
So, what section of country are you from that are so selfless & never greedy for money?

itsme01:
I guess you reside under a cave not to know chidoka was the one who paid $2million to the Washington lobby group that brokered the deal

So, no response to your narcissm beliefs?
You must be a woremonger to believe all these shots.
What's your source?

itsme01:
*So how did Chidoka earn millions under Atiku?-- brokering Atiku's US Visa ban suspension Talk with US

*People, infact OBJ told us at Onitsha years back when he visited of how he was among those who bombed Onitsha to stupor but was amazed at how the place got so built up---... How do you get narcist to vote vote for you, you fool them and tell the what they want to here, even when all economic indeces shows otherwise a narcist think highly of his self to boost his low self esteem

OBJ wasn't there for election, but was there to commission one of the best federal roads ever built in Anambra, Onitsha-Owerri road, so stop your irrational beliefs.
OBJ is one of the few detribalised Nigerians you'll ever know so quit your narcissm shit and grow up.
So, no longer Saraki but Chidoka brokered Atiku's visit to the US?
Bros, of what diplomatic importance was Chidoka to have done that? So, the US had a law and Chidoka bypassed it? You must be a child to believe other countries behave like your shithole

itsme01:
are this two lines something a disgusting politician who earned millions under Atiku should use in motivating ibo youths? hijack of a plane and shooting of Obasanjo? or you think Fulanis also don't have enough radicalism to gloat about, or Yorubas cant open some nasty civil war atrocities just to gloat and for motivational speakers..

look the more thread, speeches and snide remarkes Ibos throw the less likely any of their political goals would get any alliance from any one.. if they like let them open 10s of thread daily.. we see through the craps

Osita would do well in telling us how many lives were lost after the foolishness called plane hijack or Nzeogwus stupidity called coup.. actions and reactions are sometime not equal

So how did Chidoka earn millions under Atiku?
Talk with direction old
People, infact OBJ told us at Onitsha years back when he visited of how he was among those who bombed Onitsha to stupor but was amazed at how the place got so built up.
Nothing wrong with his statement as we understood his point; now how is the tale of charging Igbo youths with examples to fight for what they believed in?
So, you wanna know how many people died cos the East went to a war cos thousands of easterners were being murdered up North?
No wonder herdsmen, bandits and co kill and your president ask us not to retaliate their killings abi?
Well done

madridguy:
FYI, DSS don't fight war, we have soldiers doing that. Abi you don hear FBI agent fighting war? They work underground, get intelligent report and pass it across to the soldiers on the battlefield.

Lol
So, what intelligence did they gather about BH before they became radical and even now of BH moles in town?
Have they infiltrated BH? I beg, those guys ain't doing anything

madridguy:
Operatives of the Department of State Security, DSS, on Tuesday clamped down on members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers who went around to enforce the shutting down of filling stations in protest over the arrest of four of their members for alleged attempt to smuggle petroleum products out of the country.

DSS are right on this.

I doubt they are right
Read the news well and notice that one of the drivers was released cos it was confirmed that he was supplying to road constructors. Does this not ring a bell that this is the unintelligent commando style of our law enforcement agencies of random arrests without proof?
I'm not saying the drivers ain't smugglers but relating to how these force men behave, one needs to question their acts

This guy is a huge disgrace and a replica of what Nigeria is; aggressively seeking self-aggrandizement with monies meant for the common man while the common man wastes away.
Flaunting so many cars but hardly young people he has given financial aid for studies

You will never see here
Even Areas will never show his face here.
This govt isn't sincere at all and so wicked to let things happen this way.
The NASS itself see people homeless yet budget over a billion for just their office complex?
GOD will judge all of them, heartless people

Mikehot:
So truthful people like you still exist

My dear, in the communities in the east the watchword has always been "EZIOKWU BU NDU" and that's why we have "Nze na Ozo" ndi n'ekwu EZIOKWU banyere the obula n'eme n'obodo.
We speak the truth regardless.
The Igbos share the blame on the recent happenings to.
This isn't to say the cashed the while stuff but they share blames too.

Simplyleo:
50b from Anambra? How?

Where is the fed govt expecting Anambra to get that from when the annual igr of SE is less than 30bn?

Besides, has Anambra finished paying back the bailout? Let's not talk about minimum wage.

You need to sit down and cross-examine well yourself.
Check the bailouts your state's collected and compare that to Anambra which owes no salary unlike even your rich state's who owe upto or even more than 6months

MONIKERREVEALER:
So, at the emboldened, I have been discussing with a kid sef!!!

Don't you know that ikemba sent the fleeing easterners who came back home from the northern progroms back to the north upon the promise of gowon to protect them and, later on, the same easterners got killed in even huger numbers after they went back to their northern bases?!!!

Did Ojukwu pick up arms against the state when he insisted on the aburi accord being honored by the concerned parties?!!!

Was it not the entire easterners who mandated him to secede?!!!

Has MNK's mouth transformed into nuclear weapons?!!!

Draw closer to your dad and definitely you will be the wiser for it?!!!

You know nothing about the war than I do. My father went to that war and rose from a cadet to a commander of the squad that confronted the NA at Onitsha & Nnewi and I have first hand information also as my uncle escaped death in Kano cos he could speak an old Bendel language.
Your point was that Adaka took up arms and you gave the man no reason.
Ojukwu picked up arms too and you're giving reasons for him. What's the difference between you and the herdsmen who justify every of their carnage?
Stop lying to yourself; OJUKWU picked up arms against the state when we Igbos got tired of the killings up North and found in him a leader.
Oga, there are 3 things we Igbos messed up with, Viz;
1. Fighting Adaka Boro by Ironsi
2. Zik calling for 1 Nigeria when the Northers backed out while Awolowo warned him
3. That 1966 coup which no Igbo leader was murdered
So, accept our fault and move on

MONIKERREVEALER:
Mechie gi onu nwoke a!!!

Mgbe obula onu ndi di ka unu ana agba ka ukpaka!!!

Boro shouldn't have picked up arms against the state without first exhausting all diplomatic channels!!!

He endangered the lives of innocent people!!!

He should have tabled his people's grievances at the negotiating table and definitely he would have received a listening ear!!!

When coal was the mainstay of the East, did igbos say then that they, the niger deltans, were marginalizing us?!!!

Please, nobody is forcing niger deltans to join us in Biafra!!! They will be offered participation in the referendum and if they vote overwhelmingly to join us, fine!!!

The only reason why we are considering exodusing with them is because they are majority christians like us!!!

One thing you can be sure of is that they, the niger deltans, need we, the great igbos, more than we need them!!!

We know that they are hiding behind us to get their own "republic" but na God go judge between us and them las las!!!

Zoo must fall!!!

Funny you, you're no different than the hegemony holding Naija down. You're always right and never wrong, Saint Nwegbe
So, Ojukwu didn't pick arms against the state?
Kanu is using diplomatic means, abi?
Be truthful to yourself as it costs nothing

mrvitalis:
There is nothing u want to say that's not known
Igbo's marginalized south south he became sug president in UNN
Some took arms against government without authority of his people and u expected the government to sit back

Also talk about the federal government involvement in the issue too

In the case of Biafra the assembly was called n the people voted for Biafra ...in mbaise ....so the people mandated ojukwu

Who mandated Issac ?

I disagree with you on who mandated Adaka Boro.
The truth is that Aguiyi messed up with this Adaka Boro issue, simple and fact. So, who mandated Kanu?
Vitalis, I'm an Igboman and we are known to accept our wrongs, take responsibility for our ills and makeup where necessary.
As for the secession by Adaka Boro, Ironsi messed up as today the Igbos are the ones seeking for same secession

Simplyleo:
Okay.

So PDP is actually politicizing security matters?

Quite a revelation. Anything pdp says about security should then be ignored because it is just politcs, not as if they are actually concerned.

PDP isn't the issue now as I don't even remember they exist but how the APC has supported herdsmen recently.

Old news saw same news sometime last year or so

MelesZenawi:
Lolzz

Igbos done suffer on nairaland ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


No day passes without Igbo topic..

Honestly, I just see somethings here and shudder.
Imagine, I even gave one a N200 bill yesterday and I'm among a secret donor clique (all Igbos) that funds school kits for primary school kids in Borno state quarterly and this one is yarning shit.

AmuDimpka:
Can we reduce tribalism and be united in South

Very nice one but I don't see it happening.
Like I said, almost if not all Nigerians are stauch tribalists

[quote author= post=86705787]With all these evil killings going on in our darling nation,

It is so obvious that there are some politicians behind this evil herdsmen and all manners of killings going on in this nation as we all know prior now...

These evil sponsors want unrest, war and anguish all over the country, so they can come back into power to continue from where they stopped.

Damn it! Some bastards are out FULL FORCE to start war that will consume them and all their families in this country!

They will all die painfully and shamelessly and we will all be here to read about their demise.

If you are out supporting this evil politicians that ruined our nation also...... becareful so that the evil y'all support will not start at your doorsteps.


Again,

May all the evil and corrupt politicians that brought and keep sponsoring these evil herdsmen and satanic Boko Haram and KIDNAPPERS in our nation just to cause unrest and war for it's
citizens never end well in life.
Along with everyone that supports them.
Evil and miserable end await them all.
They will never know peace all the remaining miserable years they have to live.

May they suffer so much pains as long as they live on earth before dying in shame.
No be curse,
Na FACT.


We Rise!

*************** ********************* ***************

If you are not one of the people supporting the evil sponsors of the evil ones among these herdsmen and kidnappers, if you are not a hypocritical bigot,
kindly say A BIG AMEN To these prayers.

If you quote us without saying AMEN,
A big shame on your lives and the evil politicians you all support.
Bigots.



Amen in Jesus name.
So shall it be.
God bless you.


AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.
Stay blessed Festus![/quote]Your head needs scrutiny
Be sensible just for once
So the people who wants power back (PDP) are the ones sponsoring the herdsmen while your C-in-C and his minister asked people to give up their lands or risk being killed?
You are obviously being ridiculous

MetaPhysical:
To Igbo people on this thread. Shame on you.

You have cried repeatedly about the injustice and unfairness of Nigeria and its bias against you. I did not open thread asking Yoruba to reset 1966...Im asking Nigerians to do that.
It can be seen, judging from your comments, that your venom is really aimed at Yoruba specifically, and you do not have any problem with any other group in Nigeria.

Why are you targeting Yoruba in your responses?

Nigeria and Ibo, both sides need to heal. The healing would happen when events of 1966 is written in a different context.

None of the acts of 1966 or 67 conflicts was originated by Yoruba. Not a single one! So why are you angry against Yoruba? Is your grievance against Yoruba....or against Nigeria? Is it Yoruba you want to free Biafra from, or Nigeria?

Get sense!

I have come to know that most if not all Nigerians are tribalistic.
So, you expect an Igbo man who lost his brother to the python dance to wake up and accept your words up there?
Igbos are not angry at the Yorubas and here is my proof;
In the last decade, can you point out to one stuff the Igbos raised or supported the Yorubas applauded?
Did you go through Twitter on this Amotekun issue? The Igbos were 1000% behind the SW regardless of the fact they have issues?
On this NL, you remember how "potor-potor" and pics of the army humiliating Igbo boys were being hailed till date? Bros, an average Igbo man will never do same to a Yoruba man.
I bet you today, if APC fields Osibanjo, you will be amazed the vote that man will amass in the SE.
The Igbos are only angry at the Yorubas cos they believe the Yorubas support the main people dragging Naija.
Now, I maybe biased a bit to judge PMB's leadership (though I voted him in 2015 but gave up in 2017), judge yourself and see how he subtly shields the herdsmen with their carnages. The Igbos just feels if not for the Yorubas, PMB won't have had the privilege.
I'm not against the SW for supporting PMB cos everyone even Igbos seek their comfort.

Sammy07:
Metaphysical.
Truth is, Igbos are too emotional. Ion know why God created them that way.
Any small joke like this, they might take it personal

They don't have negotiation skill..

I have many of them as friends here in Ondo(majority from Enugu and abia) but whenever we're talking about something.
The proudness or should I call it boasting spirit will enter them..

Let them stop hating other tribes first.
And nothing like Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians...

---

Yorubas don't hate them, it's just a normal way of catching fun on NL, everything ends here...

Bros, don't be biased.
The attack by Yorubas on Igbos is just a joke on NL but Igbos' attack on Yorubas isn't a joke but pride or so?
Don't you think your analogy is sentimentally skewed?

helinues:


Are Igbo's ready to listen to themselves not to talk of outsiders?

Are Igbo's ready to accommodate others sincerely?

Have you seen the Igbo people before having a heart to heart discussion about how to achieve Biafra with different strategy?

Me keep on wondering what Kanu has been doing with all the donation money he has been collecting apart from using it to globetrobe..

Those people he has been meeting are nobody in their countries not to talk of having a say in other country.

Can't the money donated be used to help less privilege Ndigbo ? How about mobilization and sensitization of Ndigbo youths about the cause.

All these sailent questions I asked above are what Igbo's have been afraid to ask

Just watch as how they are going to attack the messenger and overlooked the message

You talk like someone without a head on his body.
What monies are being contributed?
How many poor people from your tribe have your own people helped?

Albeit, Igbos like me do not support Kanu's ways but are awed that all he said about the herdsmen and Nigeria are coming to pass as if he has an Intel into the happenings in Nigeria.

MetaPhysical:
The soul of Biafra and the Igboman has been badly and severly battered and deeply traumatized.

What Igbo need is healing, support and acknowledgement. It does not rob us of any value to join hands and do this.

Let us stop the tears...we must heal the spirit! We must listen, and reset 1966!

The 60s were volatile years across the globe. Many nations in Africa were just starting a new experience in the European styled nationhood and had not perfected the peculiarities and intrigues of power and power-sharing amongst new co-owners and thus exhibited their barbarism. Nigeria was in this class.

In some other, Europeans were the barbarics, terrorizing and abusing power to continue monopoly and savagery. South Africa had the Apartheid. A system that segregate whites from non-whites.

Apartheid (Apart-heid) is Dutch word for "separate hood".

In our own Nigeria the treatment of Igbo since the calamity of 1966, followed shortly after by war of 67, has been one of Unity in Separation.

We must forgive and help Igbo heal. It has become accepted to turn loose the police and army on them and watch them harrassed, persecuted and brutalized. It is not only the Igbo that has not healed, the rest of the nation has not healed either and we have not forgiven....so that at every opportunity of a conflict we flash back to the ethnic assassinations of 1966 and then justify a need to exact pound of reprisal attack on Igbo. We are still in pain.

Let's reset 1966!


Here is Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba, with a song from 1966.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqdcz0eYLSQ

You said, "We must forgive and help Igbo heal"
What wrong did the Igbos do?
You'd say they carried out the first coup right?
Kaduna Nzeogwu & Ifeajuana were the masterminders of that coup and are from Delta state.
Today, most Nigerians and even some SS people say they aren't Igbos. Infact the North & SW claim the Igbos went to that war to overtake the oil in the SS.
Now if you today say Nzeogwu isn't Igbo, then why blame & attack Igbos for that same coup?

Osaze007:
Kaduna has a higher IGR and population than your south east
Kano no go area

Most of you here on NL are just so low on data analysis and usage.

LadyExcellency:
Tell me any of those States that was bomb to oblivion 50 years ago in a civil war?

When in comparison use index and mean and not total population.

We don't compare between Isreal and Egypt in terms of development. Israel is a developed world, Egypt is not but too populous

That's guy is a disgrace to the Secondary school he attended not to mention higher institution.
How could he leave out index and his reference point in comparison?
That guy SPEEDON na big stigma

spendoon:
INFASTRUCTRUE
Tell me one single States that beats kano,ogun and oyo in that aspect, i wont say kaduna because its still under renovation

Like I keep saying, you lack knowledge.
I bet you don't know Ogun state.
OP, can I challenge you to a live debate on Skype?
You don't know anything

spendoon:
While oyo and ogun in the other hand has a population 9,332,034 (Friendly more than half of the southeast) and the southeast has a population of about 16,335,555, the two western states literate percentage is about 90% while the southeast is about 80% no further explanation there is a clear winner

As seen in your previous posts on this thread, you're the type of literate Nigeria churn out yearly
