That guy is not from Edo state.
I can bet my balls, he’s a Yoruba man masquerading as an Edo man.
No true Edo son would create so many threads attacking the Igbos

Even the Yungmillionaire you quoted is part of the deceit.
Go read his topics especially this one:
https://www.nairaland.com/3852771/nigerians-stop-fooling-yourselves-igbos
They keep creating threads against Igbos.
He is Itsekiri and blamed the 1st military coup while it was Nzeogwu a SSener who led it.
The only people in Nigeria who claims Igbos carried out the 1st military coup and for tribal superiority are the Hausa/Fulanis & SW and it's a huge misconception I have engaged my SW brothers a lot with.
However, guys this na new year & no need for this hate.
Igbos want out, no need insulting the Omoluabis (this was why I detest Nnamdi Kanu) & the Hausas cos one of our own in the name of Nnamdi Azikiwe contributed a lot to thus thinking he was being a good-hearted fellow not knowing Nigeria can never tow the lines of USA.
Drive your agenda and move on simple as we the Igbos have a part of the blame too.

Lol!
Not true sir

This is good.
GEJ messed up, could have done a lot for his region

These politicians are so heartless
What's this rubbish for?
Power drunks

[s][/s]Africans see every white man as oyinbo, doesnt matter if he is chinese or indian, does that mean all of them should come together and form unity?
should indian or lebannonse man be begging for unity with american white cos africans think they are all white?


when entire south west and south south voted for abiola against northern candidate, why did south east vote for "born to rule"?

The east was for Abiola, that's the simplest reply I can offer you, I was alive and living in the east then.
In fact, Abiola almost married a distant cousin of mine as a "4th wife" or so then before his imprisonment and was loved by all in the east.

zombiebeggar

association of unity beggars


begging for ijaw unity since 1800.

The Igbo man doesnt see himself as an Ijaw man and vice versa rather it is people like you and Shettima who keep claiming Ijaws are Igbos; Shettima insisted GEJ an Ijaw man is Igbo. Isnt it obvious?
The Igbo man only considers the Ijaw man & all other Southerners except the Yorubas a brother in political interest against the "born to rule" Northern belief.

Confirmedzombie:
True talk. Not just 202e, igbos cant produce president because of their politics of hatred, bitterness sentiment, ethnicity.

The igbos dont know how to play politics hence no region will support them.

Until the igbos resuciate themselves, wall themselves round with the fear of God, only then they will see the blessings of God come through to their region.

Lol
Guy, is there any proof GOD didnt bless the Igbos?
After war ravaging them (they should be 15yrs backward than any region), no post war
Support and being sidelined in leadership, their region isn't last in any indices of growth, infact they even come 2nd in some. THEY ARE SO BLESSED, DEAR.
Guys, Shettima is even saying the Yorubas cant smell it in 2023 but you guys left them to attack the Igbos.
Albeit, I'm Igbo but I will hardly support an Igbo presidency for now until Nigeria becomes a stable state cos if an Igbo president becomes as 50% nepotistic as PMB, Naija will boil (same thing happened to GEJ).
Please what's the politics of hate and bitterness you guys claim? Was GEJ not the first president who received insults, unguarded words, and other inhumane attacks of bitterness?
Inasmuch as I will personally vote a good Yoruba man against any Northerner, I dont see the SS or SE voting Yorubas cos of their hate words towards GEJ pre & post 2015; till date the SW hates GEJ not for being corrupt but for not carrying the region along.
The North too so attacked GEJ with so much bitterness which can be seen in PMB's reaction to national issues then even to say that "an attack on BH is an attack on the North".

oyin44:
The ibos talk as if they knew politics but they don't even know what is poitics..hausana/yoruba will play politics for them as you can see now.

Oyin, the guy was throwing jabs also at you subtly that it is the Northerner come 2023 against your dreams.
As far as Naija is concerned, the Hausas and hardly the Yorubas have an upper hand

Stupid boy, thank God PYTHON is still alive waiting for you patiently.

You so wish and pray that soldiers kill innocent people for the sole purpose that you're against their separatist beliefs.

Ibu tata ok , am not small as u ka unu ga rope Tribalism on my throat , I no u be from Imo state ,

Oluomo is Yoruba, yoruba govt ,Yoruba monarchs, clergy's and professors supports agbero ( To clip visitors like igbos wings) , while agbero in the east and south are outlaws been chased by govt at the slightest provocation , so don't tell me am tribalistic

Nne, a buro m taata nke nji a buru onye Imo steeti.
True that thuggery in SW is so much and is affiliated to the politicians, does it justify those words you use there?
That someone doesnt behave like you doesnt make them evil.
Now, love or maturity or tolerance is when you accept people for whom they are and their culture then approach them appropriately.
Using those thugs in itself isn't wrong but the way they're used makes it all wrong.
Just argue without such evil words, Aunty

Rekhina:
Am a M.sc holder nna , so tribalism isn't for the educated , u shud know I left this country because of their tribalistic stance around 2015 , And u think I will keep my mouth shut on the act of foolery going on in this country , See everyone must pay for their sins

Aunty, even others have also felt the pangs of tribalism from Igbos too. If we Igbos had no sin, then we could have been heaven but no we ain't saints either.

oyatz:
We are NOT in the same category.
Look for your mates ,with whom you can be engaging in tribal slurs and ethnic profiling.

I am more refined, better educated and more exposed than that level.

Well done bro, some people just wanna breathe and eat tribalism.
And this remains the bane of Nigeria; serious issues are trivialized using tribe & religion as a weapon.
I am an Igbo man and even my tribe has issues so why her words.
Rekhina, nne gbagbuo uzo a I na-aga ooooo!

Aunty stop this
This language is too gross and too bad for your mouth.
Nawaoooooooo!
However, the OP should know this will only happen in the SW. In fact, the North is brooding lots of intelligent chaps I have as friends and they are political sons of today's top politicians (though we dont agree politically, we remain good pals).
Truly, the SW political elites are playing both money & thuggery politics which may or may not affect the SW.
@OP, your postulation is theoretically possible but in reality, the chances are low.

seunmsg:
Let me see if I can help you.

OP is simply saying the children of the elites should come together and position themselves to take over political power when the current generation of old leaders quits the stage so as to prevent the children of the poor (as represented by MC Oluomo) from taking over.

He’s urging the children of the elites to organize themselves politically and stop running to Canada and other developed country so that a well organized street boys like NURTW won’t take over political power.

Please was this account hacked?
Please I dont understand this account anymore; used to admire the person behind this account though he could be biased sometimes.
Oga, it isnt elites vs poor but learned vs unlearned, crude vs refined, and aggression vs diplomacy.
The OP even sited the revenge by "touts" on shoprite against the Xeno...... attack by South Africans yet you strayed from objectivity.
Is MC Oluomo not rich? The Op may not have even boarded a flight due to paucity of funds but Oluomo has about 2kids schooling abroad.

Keep quiet. How will auto correct put has became to has become? . Typical lying Lazy generation

I understand you've got the brain of your ilks who keep looting Naija blind & doesnt know how autocorrect works, even after I pointed it out

This is all shades of wrong.
Though I'm not for the tyrant, I dont think he has any interest in this act.
None at all so he should be left out of this.
Let GEJ also feel what innocent people felt up North while he was playing politics

johntolu:
The North were willing to secede from Nigeria Federation in 1953 but Azikiwe was the one that begged Northern leaders to change their minds for reasons best known to him. It is also not true that that Azikiwe did not play any role during the Biafran secession bid. He was in fact the spokesman for the Biafran government and an adviser to Ojukwu before he switched allegiance to Nigeria when reality dawned on him.
You might want to take a look at the link below, to read Azikiwe's statement pleading with the North not to secede from Nigeria in 1953.

https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/1953-nnamdi-azikiwe-speech-secession/



Wikipedia
National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons
The National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), was a Nigerian political party from 1944 to 1966, during the period leading up to independence and immediately following independence.

Foundation
Pre-independence
Post-independence Edit
After Nigeria's independence, Azikiwe was Governor-General (1960-1963) and President (1963-1966). In 1966, a military coup ended Azikiwe's term as president, and the NCNC dissolved in the following turmoil. The NCNC was accused by its adversaries of focusing overly on the interests of the Igbo population. By the late 1940s, the remnant of the Nigerian Youth Movement, now effectively a western Nigeria political organization, had decided to support the Action Group accusing the NCNC of ethnic imperialism. However, the western opposition needed to tactically rev up local sentiments as its base was made up of local elites who depended little on nationalistic sentiment but on the local economic and political activity in their various towns and cities. During the Biafran war of secession, Azikiwe became a spokesman for the republic and an adviser to its leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, before switching allegiance back to Nigeria and publicly appealing to Ojukwu to end the war.

Bros, read my words and read yours, see your approach.
I quote you, "The North were willing to secede from Nigeria Federation in 1953 but Azikiwe was the one that begged Northern leaders to change their minds FOR REASONS BEST KNOW TO HIM."
You ain't being objective with your argument.
You yourself posted Zik's speech and I quote him, "As one who was born in the North, I have a deep spiritual attachment to that part of the country, but it would be a capital political blunder if the North should break away from the South. The latter is in a better position to make rapid constitutional advance, so that if the North should become truncated from the South, it would benefit both Southerners and Northerners who are domiciled in the South more than their kith and kin who are domiciled in the North."
Like I said earlier, "Zik is seen by many Igbo men as a nationalist than an Igbo man".
Be humble enough to read this please
https://www.pressreader.com/nigeria/sunday-trust/20151115/281487865242785 or https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/my-role-in-the-civil-war-by-zik.html
From Zik:
A part of it, Then something happened. Some of his advisers felt that I was becoming a victim of compromise and that I was a bad influence. That all I was trying to do was to make Biafra impotent. They told Ojukwu that Biafra was holding its own militarily. And why should we want a peace conference? That he should be very, very careful with me, especially as an Onitsha man because they thought that I was using him as a means to give publicity for myself internationally and that time will come when people will look more to me than to himself. Well, as a young man, human, he fell for such flattery. I don’t want to mention all the names, but particularly influential in swinging his opinion at that material time was Mr. C. C. Mojekwu, WHO WAS BASED IN (understand Zik's subtlety suggesting Mojekwu was elsewhere faraway claiming Biafra was doing well) Lisbon. Then Mr. Matthew Mbu was our Commissioner for External Affairs and he himself did as much as possible, but then he realized that he was having someone who has power of life and death over everybody. So, we went to Addis Ababa and on the night before the conference, Matthew came to my bedroom at about 10 in the night. He said, “Do you know that all we have done, this man is going to undo them tomorrow?’ I said ‘No’. Then he brought out a printed version of a long speech. The world press said it lasted for 90 minutes. He [Ojukwu] went back on everything we discussed. He attacked the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union – all the nations of the world and the OAU, and said that they were misleading us and that the sovereignty of ‘Biafra’ was not negotiable. We went to the conference. I sat next to him. I thought that he was going to speak in accordance with the spirit of Niamey. But he spoke for 90 minutes and he just got the whole place upside down(Zik kept blaming Ojukwu for it and at this point Zik left Biafra till the negotiation for arms up as against your claim that he decided to switch cos ..)
You are claiming Zik was for Biafra and reneged when he saw things turn around?
Read this interview and see how Zik subtly rubbished Ojukwu.
Zik was never a man of aggression, out of the 3 founding fathers, he was more peaceful, quiet & prolly weakest (the last is my opinion).
Zik never wanted Biafra but Ojukwu & every other Igbo man wanted Biafra. Ojukwu and co became suspicious of Zik and called his efforts bluff.
And this is where the communalism xter of the Igbo man is disadvantageous.
If Ojukwu had listened to Zik, Zik would have drained the sentiments of the world to Biafra against Ojukwu's anger and priding on the current success of the Biafran soldiers leading the world to the side of the Nigerian forces.
Bros, read and get your opinion and not the cliche they sold you.

johntolu:
Thanks for the clarification, Nwanne.
Coalition/Alliance between political parties is the norm worldwide. During the 1st & 2nd Republics the Yorubas decided to be anti Hausa-Fulani while the Igbo Nation deem it wise to be an ally of the same Hausa-Fulani. The actions of both ethnic groups now and in time past, is called 'self interest' and I do not think the Yoruba Nation owe any ethnic group an apology for our current political relationship with the North.

See bros, history needs to be holistic and not told in bits.
Have you noticed the Igbos give more respect to Ojukwu than Pa Zik?
Zik was a nationalist and hardly for the Igbos. Remember when the coup happened ad after?
Zik was entirely against session insisting on negotiation when thousands of Igbos were slaughtered up North, while Ojukwu insisted that if the massacre of Igbos continued, he'd draw a line.
If there was a coalition between the Igbos & the North, why was Sar'duana insisting he'd rather employ a foreigner than an Igbo man?
Bros, animosity between the Igbos & Hausa-Fulani no be today and they can never align politically cos the politics of the North thrives on elitism while that of the Igbos is premised on communalism. So, how can an Igbo man bend to an elite who only gives him freebies while he keeps offering his loyalty?
The alliance you so believed was by Zik and some of his allies void of the Igbo man's interest.
The Igboman has no herd mentality like the Hausas & Yorubas.
See, Ojukwu lost elections in Igboland, the man understood his people, didnt take it personal and moved on. Can Awo loose elections in Yorubaland?
And this is why the Hausas & Yoruba elites ain't in sync with the Igbos cos their elites cannot get same loyalty from Igbos as they get from their people.

johntolu:
Thanks, 'Nwanne'.
I really appreciate your objectivity and sense of responsibility in all your responses and comments on this forum.
I agree with you that we are all influenced by the 'stories' and 'gists' passed on to us by our parents and society at large, during our formative years. You just shared a story passed on to you, while growing up in the East, that the Yorubas are 'betrayers', which implies that my tribe must have collectively betrayed your tribe at a point in our shared history or relationship.
I will appreciate if you could share the story line of the 'cresting of betrayal', that you were told by your people so that we can be informed and probably, give a response to the allegation.
The reason for this request is because I am not aware of any betrayal on the part of the Yoruba ethnic group against the Igbos in any form.
'Conscience is an open wound, only the truth can heal it' - Uthman Dan Fodio (1754-1817).

My guy, that betrayer tag sef I dont agree with it.
See, the Yorubas made a choice at the time for what's best for them and they prolly dont trust the Igbos so I see it not as betrayal but a choice of interest.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as the Yorubas have a way of playing their own politics; they put themselves first

NGpatriot:
Look at this liar, the person you quoted in that thread was not talking about Tinubu and the topic was not Tinubu, but you jumped in to lament and obsessed over Tinubu even though the person you quoted did not mention Tinubu.

Tnubu is not a threat, but you can not eat, sleep, breath or exist without shouting his name from morning till night, even when the topic of discussion is not Tinubu, you people still manage to turn it into Tinubu obsession topic.

Hypocrite.

One thing is that you lack understanding.
The guy claims the SW doesnt support corruption so I sighted the widely known one, which is oga BAT. So, what's the obsession and off-topic issue there?
Was I segalinks & Deju who discussed about the bullion van?
Oga, this obsession of Tinubu is on your minds.
See, you lack knowledge of the Igbo mans mind nor it's challenges; the North is while the SW is just supporting it.

[b]MASSOB warns Tinubu against attacks, killing of Igbos in Lagos

The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) on Monday warned the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former governor of Lagos State, Alahaji Bola Tinubu against the sponsorship of thugs to attack and kill Igbos living in Lagos state. The group made this known [ ] 2019: MASSOB warns Tinubu against attacks, killing of Igbos in Lagos

https://nigeria.shafaqna.com/EN/AL/5791070[/b]







Tinubu obsession is not limited to you and your kind on NL, it's a collective and communal affair, the young, the old and the leaders all obsess, lament and cry over Tinubu.

The million-dollar question is why is Tinubu so prominent, so powerful, so influential, and so dominant in igbo land?

Oh! Your efforts paid off.
I agree you got this, right. However, I meant discussion on his ambition and even at that non of these mentioned guys are Igbo politicians nor leaders.
There is no obsession of Tinubu cos without the North he is nothing in national politics.
What's the whole noise about him?
Yeah the gentle man is smart but he is still a regional champion.
Just pray to GOD the North accepts him come 2023 or better still advise him to allow PYO succeed PMB.

This is you crying, lamenting and obsessing over Tinubu in a thread and Topic what wasn't even about Tinubu.

Hypocrite calling other people hypocrite..

Lol
Jobless man, Tinubu was passively mentioned but not discussed.
Oga, Tinubu is an influential politician though corrupt too.
I asked you a question and I guess grammar has become a problem for you not to understand the question, "Have you heard any Igbo politician or so discuss Tinubu?"
Guy, Tinubu in himself isnt a threat.

Dagrace01:
I like the way u said this, I'm not here for Tinubu, as a matter of fact, I don't give a Bleep abt him. But the way ur guys react to anything concerning Tinubu is outta this world, Tinubu here, Tinubu there, damn! Is Tinubu our problem in Nigeria? We know our problem and we should face it squarely, why are we contemplating about the man who isn't in government.

Answer the question, "Show me even on newspaper any anti-Tinubu stance by any Igbo man"?
No one is obsessed by Tinubu

Abraham's Blessings are yours, my Brother.
Kindly ignore the negative comments of some members on issues on this platform and remain focused on spreading Hope & positive messages to ALL & sundry. I am so proud of you sir.

Bros, read my comments and place it side-by-side yours and see the kind of attack some (yes some cos the Yorubas, Hausas and every human remain my darling) of you rain on the Igbos.
Imagine a thread from a non-Igbo and currently no single write up or interview by any Igbo elite on Tinubu, I mean none.
So, who sold you the creepy thing the Igbos are concerned about Tinubu?.
I grew up in the east & I tell you I hardly heard or know any gross of the Igbos against the Yorubas safe for the cresting of "betrayal". No hate of any kind.
On this thread alone, read objectively and you'll see who is attacking more. It makes no sense
Abraham's blessings are yours and more egbon

Dagrace01:
I'm not so concerned about the author Mr chairman, it's your kinsmen comments out there that got me irritated and irated. The poster's tomfoolery and ignorance has gotten to the head of your kinsmen who don't have the minds and brains of their own. Just the way they've been blindly following NMK the coward who fled Nigeria and left his followers in confusion.

Can you show us any anti-Tinubu comment here before the pro ones that was gross?
Nawaooooooooooo!
Take it easy, oga

omoiyalayi:
I think this ibo people are pained @ d achievement of Tinubu knowing they cannot boast of a leader like him in their region that weigh so much power and influence

Someone that command respect all over nigeria and abroad

So anything to bring him down is what they ve resulted to, but they ve failed already

Imagine igbo people saying they will overwhelmingly vote any hausa man against Tinubu in 2023 that Buhari can go for third term just to spite the yorubas

This name suit them "Children of hate"

Mehn, can you just read your post up there?
In 2015, did you not accept even a NEPA bill as certificate?
Did you not take-in a former military commander who once terminated democracy and sold to is that I even voted him?
Now someone says he won't vote Tinubu, isnt that their choice? You made yours too.
On this thread, I haven't seen 1 post wishing evil on Tinubu (show me 1) yet, in your minds you well up evil.
You decided to feast with the North (which I dont consider bad as well) so, if problems arise face it and stop roping Igbos in
