God knows I can’t marry my age mate, If you are not above me in everything then you can’t conquer me. I don’t even know how people date their agemate, classmates, job mates and the rest.

Abeg let us hear word, as if your preference improves your value/worth in that relationship or status in life. I hate noisy fools

mikelopez:
This is pure open daylight robbery

They can NEVER escape this rigging

The youths are coming for them

It will happen so fast that they will not be able to escape

Massive Nationwide riots loading

Just wait for INEC to announce the results

220,000,000 people and how many soldiers do we have in the arm forces less than 5,000,000.

The security forces can NEVER crush over 220,000,000 Nigerians

Let that sink

So you are willing to die for Nigeria ? May such unfortunate incident not befall your parents.

If you're Igbo and you are willing to die for Nigeria, then you are just miserable and a waste of life. Nigeria that killed over 3 million of your people yet you want to die because of election that concerns the oppressors, I pity you.

Nazgul:
I blame our useless SE leaders who spend years doing absolutely nothing for their region. Imagine not having a functional Port in the SE and SS. Yet these people steal billions for themselves.

They don't care...they just don't care.

Who will make them care ? Ghosts or you and me.

I saw news about Abia youths demanding MC oluomo arrest. I just felt like burying my head in shame. What is this disgrace for ?
We are looking for easy way to get jobs, speed up business in Lagos, that's not our way oo.

Growing outside established business hubs is hard, but we must do for our own survival. That is why till tomorrow I will respect Innoson, na man he be

I am glad PO coming has changed a lot of blunt tools in South East, when Alex Otti buries PDP in Abia State, a new era would be birthed.

Igbos use head oo.

Don't follow any indigene and be acting funny. When the time comes they will remind you who you are.

Come back home Biafra is calling.

One nigeria Igbos just be careful. I warned you about how PO victory is impossible now these people are coming after your life.

A diesel truck caught fire in Lagos and some malicious agents went about spreading false news that the new Lagos blue rail caught fire and further insinuated that obedients / Igbos have stated destroying Lagos, which is fake and has been debunked.

They want to create an atmosphere to hunt you down and kill you and be justified.

Use your head, shun violence or any form of protest, don't even post about challenging anything on social media. Relocate back home and do the right thing and save your head and shame. Don't let money and properties that we lost before and recovered again make you a slave in foreign lands. Sell it now before the structural violence begins.

That was fake news already debunked. It was a diesel truck

You can get Biafra only if you form alliance in a civil manner not nzobu nzobu way noooo
Things don't work like that and I notice you guys are too emotional with everything, that's why who ever you support always lose because you attach emotion to everything. Convince people in a civil way to see from your view not abuse and insult and name calling, things don't work that way and will never, ask why you've not been getting what you want, it's because you burn bridges with your running mouth all the time. Me I don't have problem with Igbo people but I will have problem if you don't stop interfering in Yoruba politics, we know what we want, you're not the one to tell us how our state will be run. okay
Do this and you will never have problem with any tribe even Biafra will come easily that way.
My two cent.

Whoever we support loses, yet your City Boy lost in his city
Numerous APC candidates are losing in south east
I am supporting Alex Otti of LP in Abia gubernatorial election, come and make him lose, let's see.
Fools.

Nigeria will die a natural death soon, let's see what will be left of your bravado and strength then. If Nigeria doesn't end sufferings and tribulation will worsen everyday because this union is cursed

They are beggars in all states of this country..I saw them on top pedestrian bridge the last time I went to Awka ..
This shoulder raising won't take any of us to any where progressively.. let's be humble as we are all nobody than a drop of sperm

Humility is different from bending yourself to please others.
Do you think the North and Muslim west is happy that South East has a less than 2% Muslim population.
Do you think some groups are happy that Igbos recovered after the Civil war and the crippling aftermath policies.
Do you think some groups are happy that Igbos are worthy contenders
Nigeria is a hotbed for unhealthy competition as designed by the British, everyone is looking out for their own interest.
Igbos should not be the one to get bleeped to please some fools elsewhere.

See how they are killing Christians in the North Central, give it some time, the demography of some of those areas will change by force. If not for South East acting as a physical and ideological buffer between some minorities in SS and the north, funny stories would have been the order of the day.

Oga if you are a beggar let me know, me I'm not a beggar. I am speaking facts not raising shoulder. And when I say beggar, I don't mean street begging so, I reiterate Igbos are not beggars and if our head is still correct, we will not beg anyone or change ourselves to be accepted in Nigeria. Take that to your grave. We don't feed on politics.

One Nigeria Igbos are trying to disgrace us but that rubbish must end this year.

ProphetM0hammad:
Nigeria is now a Zoo again

Head slammer, look me up. I ain't your playmate. I've been straight with your animals since ages. If not for One Nigeria Igbos, I won't be speaking with your kind.

Tunedey0001:
You have spoken well but not only ibo are industrialists as you made it sound not even in top 2. Secondly it will be better for them to retrace their running mouth about other region if they want development, reason buhari refuse to carry them along. They talk too much, abuse all tribe like they're superior than others. Example many of them here are already saying they will remove sanwo olu next 2 weeks because the hate they have for a candidate, they should learn politics who ever win presidency you don't need to abuse that person, strike deals that will benefit your region instead my brother from east will keep attacking you and still want you to give them what they want. People don't gain that way, SS,SW and the northerners don't abuse other region if they're shortchange instead they demand peacefully. I include northerners because no matter which of their region that produces president or VP they all gain all over the region because no name calling among them instead they form a united front to demand what they want. My brothers please learn politics without bitterness that's when you can achieve good development to your region everything is not fight and name calling. and please always respect your host so you don't have problem. My two cent

Tunde go and die. Carry your Nigeria and shove it up your ass. See Nigeria can never progress. It is a Zoo for god sake. Buhari didn't carry them along bla bla bla yet Everyone one of you all in the cesspit is paying high for fuel, buying cash, sufferring police brutality, instable light.

Please tell me, what do you want to offer Igbos if we sell ourselves cheap. See how you are talking as if Nigeria is America or Europe that has anything significant to offer Igbos. Real Igbos want Biafra not a special portion/share/seat in a Zoological Republic.

Your INEC was given 300 billion Naira to prepare for this election in 4 years yet see the trash you all produced. Don't insult Igbos with that talk again. Talking about offering Igbos , do we look like beggars, give your alms to your Northerners not us.

Tunedey0001:
It will be great we all go out separate ways because one Nigeria has cause us more damage than good that's why you've the fullish audacity to lay claim to Lagos calling it no man's land and voting against our interest abeg go your Biafra we're not one and can never be one. The best system of government has been cancel by you Igbo yet cry every where like it's another person fault, you guys blame every tribe expect yourself. Rubbish

Oga go and kiss ass northerners ass and leave me alone. We don't play like that here that is why our religious composition has remained intact since 1960 can you make a claim about Yoruba land, defeated cowards I spit on you. Carry your slavish shitty ass and get out of my face.

My concern and heart goes out to the minorities in the North who have long suffered and been persecuted for their stance only to get insulted with a Muslim-Muslim ticket and a Muslim replacing a Muslim. I pray they don't cave in and for them make the right decisions in the coming years.

Tunedey0001:
This is the problem I have with the Igbo people, their aim is to cancel the most powerful politician in Yoruba land and not the love for Yoruba kingdom cause they see his progress as a treat to their region going federal. I believe the woke yorubas can learn their history, same thing they did to awolowo using yorubas against him same thing they are using the woke yorubas against TINUBU again learn from your mistake, Yoruba learn nothing concern you with Igbo presidency let them fight their fight alone nothing like marginalization. Once it favor them they don't care about you. Think read history, you all claim to be educated but you don't know your history shame on you (woke yorubas) all. Am very angry with you all because you want history to repeat itself. The mess we are in now was cause by this same Igbo shouting marginalization when the cancel the first constitution and stage the first coup now that hausa has beat them to their game they're now shouting marginalization. Na Yoruba suppose dey shout marginalization because we're doing great under regional government.


The bashing can come in I care not
Have pass my message already if you're not certified jump inside lagoon or go back to your region.

I am just watching Yoruba and One Nigeria Igbos fighting over who will be the better slave, who gets to play with Northerners. It's a pity and it's shameful.

Igbos please leave this Yoruba people to this their degrading game. They know how to Kiss Ass like no man business. It has been ingrained in them from birth and encultured. Please let's leave Nigeria for this couple to continue their love making. I hope the result of the election will send Igbos the right message.

tommy589:
Are those without money in account included in the 20 pounds flat fee?

By December '66 before declaration of Biafra May 67, there was ease of movement to Eastern region from the north and west. Before the full fledged war began there was enough time to make withdrawals.

My understanding is that at the height of crisis what people do is to withdraw money from banks. This reaction is evident in crisis that led to war even before Biafra war

Btw,I am Yoruba

No, the flat fee was for those who could make any solid claim to the old naira currency regardless of the amount.

The FG changed the currency so whatever anyone withdrew became worthless. Ojukwu had to mint biafran pounds

ItisWell22:
In as much as I’m not pro-Biafra, you made lots of valid points which I’ve also been preaching to young Igbos like myself.

Violence won’t get us anything, rather we get more hate (like would play out when Tinubu is declared president, after all the online insults and all).

We keep shouting Nigerians don’t like us, but come back home and invest; NO.

Make your governors work for you; NO!

Ikpeazu owing workers over 2years salaries and moving about in convoy in Aba is really crazy.

We want to change Nigeria, when we haven’t fixed our states! 😩

Let’s have our individual state governors in a chokehold first, henceforth… 🙇‍♀️

If you are not pro-Biafra you are still wrong.

Do you know how laws and policies are ratified and approved in your country ?

Do you know it has to pass through a legislature where the north has a very high upper hand ? The same people that are bragging that most of their supporters are illiterates and won't support Igbos.

It also has to pass through a President that is non-Igbo ( 99.99% percent of the time )

That means you cannot decide how to spend your original revenue, not the one distributed by FG
You can not handle your own internal security, decide how to allocate resources.
You can not grow in an untethered way and a whole lot of other intricacies
Yet you keep paying tax to fund a Federal government where you have no say.

I can only consider a united Nigeria if the country is restructured as a Confederation, rather than a federation.

sreamsense:
I beg stop all this victim mentality, change your characters, stop being dubious, hateful, remain respectful in your host region wherever you find yourselves and you will leave fine with others. If Nigeria is bad, who made it bad? Is it not 70% of your people that commit crime at local and international level through illegal drugs and dubious acts? If someone comes to your market to buy phone, if you don't sell fake product or fufu to him or do fake teething baby powders to kill little babies, will people have problem with you? There are about 250 tribes in the country living in all parts of Nigeria, did you hear them causing troubles with their hosts? Yesterday when you thought obi would win, you were busy dancing out with many fake result some you manipulated for Lagos until you guys were caught, but you will quickly cry foul.

While the APC is wining organically, you see how the desperadoes LP are thumb printing ballot papers without BVAS, some where in lagos. This is sad but panic not, #AsiwajuIsComing pic.twitter.com/CnWEfhctgc

— THE EYES OF BAT (@THEEYESOFBAT) February 26, 2023

Extend arms of fellowship to others, don't ever be stubborn and arrogant to others. Your elders like Soludo, Chimaroke and Arthur Eze warned you that your sole support for LP/Obi will lead to nowhere. You made wrong political calculation, but unfortunately you put all your votes in one basket unlike yorubas who divide votes to LP, APC and PDP. Yorubas can move with any body that wins as president because they contribute to success in one way or the other. Most of the pain you are passing through are self-inflicted and self-avoided.

Tinubu BATstards note this in peace, Igbos will not bow to you and your religion. The elders that you mentioned, let them lick your asses for all I care, they are interested in Nigeria not don't represent us.

Nigeria is not for Igbos. Simple.
Let's divide this zoo and come re evaluate after 30 years. The same way we surprised awolowo that he drank rat poison, we will repeat again.

Mindlog:
Delusion on point.😆😆😆

Go and ask Awolowo how our delusion failed his plans.
E go shock you

BeLookingIDIOT:
Dem never even announce results yet dem don dey slide back to screaming Biafra

Slide where, me I dey where I dey since dem born your papa. Tell that trash to one Nigeria Igbos.

Las las the eagle can never eat carcass.

tommy589:
Let us know what Awolowo dished out

3.2. Twenty Pounds Flat Fee Refund

Several policies decreed into law became albatross of the Igbo nation’s progress. Saro-Wiwa (2012) [11] wrote that even though the Igbos were reintegrated into society, they continued to face economic discrimination. The £20 flat rate policy for any amount any Biafran who wishes to exchange his old currency was a deliberate policy to keep them from recovering from the economic devastation. Aduba (2017) [12] argued in The Will newspaper, that Nigeria government deliberately imposed the £20 flat rate policy without any circumspection.

3.3. Indigenization Decree

The promulgation of the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decree of 1972, also known as Indigenization Decree, was not done with the accommodation of Igbo interest. The government enacted the policy when the Igbo people were at the weakest economic point just after they have emerged from the civil war (Obi-Ani, 2009) [10] . The implication was that the other ethnic groups were able to participate in purchasing shares of those blue-chip companies that the Nigeria government decided to appropriate.

Carefully spearheaded and executed by Awolowo who was finance minister then to cripple Igbos never to rise again.

Yet these Yoruba people are not ashamed that despite the headstart Nigeria gave them and the handicap the war and FG gave Igbos, yet Igbos came back in full force.
People who are meant to be begging you to eat and survive or be your domestic staff are your co-workers, employers, co-tenants and in some cases Landlords. People that lost ownership to any property they owned outside South East. I fit cry now .

God is the greatest. An eagle will never eat carcass.

stjudas:
WTF is Igbo Obidients? I'm Igbo and Obidient but this is trash.

Continue playing, I will guess that you are below 28 and living with a family member in Lagos, that is why you are still senseless.
Give it time, you will soon recover your senses.
Nigeria is not for you.

The first time you produced a presidential candidate in over 50 years and they called it IGBO AGENDA and their own is national agenda
They are bragging to you that they will use their illiterate brothers to frustrate you in the north and you are smiling.
They singled you out of others in the country and threatened you yesterday when you wanted to fulfill your constitutional right, and you think it's rubbish

MissLeslie:
I this advice is for all. Not only Igbo

Where are you from
