That is why some of our Igbo brothers can make some of the sort of asinine remarks and contributions that a few of them have been making in this debate both in the print media and in numerous social media portals and networks ever since Governor Fashola ”deported” 19 Igbo destitute back to Anambra state a while ago. In the last 80 years, the Igbo have been shown more generosity, accommodation, warmth and kindness and given more opportunities and leverage by the Yoruba than they have been offered by ANY other ethnic group in Nigeria. This is a historical fact. The Yoruba do not have any resentment for the Igbo and we have allowed them to do in our land and our territory what they have never allowed us to do in theirs. This has been so for 80 long years and it is something that we are very proud of. As I said elsewhere recently, to be accommodating and generous is a mark of civilisation and it comes easily to people that once had empires. The reason why many of our people take strong exception to the apparent outrage of the Igbo over this ”deportation” issue and the provocative comments of my friend and brother Chief Orji Uzor Kalu when he described Lagos as being a ”no man’s land” is because the Igbo have not only taken us for granted but they have also taken liberty for licence.

We cannot be expected to tolerate or accept that sort of irreverent and unintelligent rubbish simply because we still happen to believe in ”one Nigeria” and we will not sacrifice our rights or prostitute our principles on the alter of that ”one Nigeria”. Whether Nigeria is one or not, what is ours is ours and no one should test our resolve or make any mistake about that. ”One Nigeria” yes but no one should spit in our faces or covet our land, our treasure, our success, our history, our virtues, our being and our heritage and attempt to claim those for themselves simply because we took them in on a rainy day. [b] It is that same attitude of ”we own everything”, ”we must have everything” and ”we must control everything” that the Igbo settlers manifested in the northern region in the late 50’s and early and mid-60’s that got them into so much trouble up there with the Hausa-Fulani and that eventually led to the terrible pogroms where almost one hundred thousand of them were killed in just a few days. Again it is that same attitude that they manifested in Lagos and the Western Region in the late ’30’s and the early and mid-40’s that alienated the Yoruba from them, that led to the establishment of the Action Group in April, 1951 and that resulted in the narrow defeat of Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe in the Western Regional elections of December, 1951. As a matter of fact they were the ones that FIRST introduced tribalism into southern politics in 1945 with the unsavoury comments of Mr. Charles Dadi Onyeama who was a member of the Central Legislative Council representing Enugu and who said at the Igbo State Union address that ”the domination of Nigeria and Africa by the Igbo is only a matter of time”.

**************************Bad guy FFK ...see more**********************************************************************

The Igbo and their Biafra fought Nigeria and killed Nigerians for three hard years in that brutal civil war in which over one million courageous, loyal and faithful sons and daughters of the Federal Republic lost their lives at the war front trying to stop Biafra from seceding from the federation, from taking our land and from taking the minority groups of the Mid-Western Region and Eastern Region and our newly-discovered oil with them. Yet despite our massive casualties and the monumental loss of life that the Federal side suffered (a total of 2 million died on both sides) the Igbo people were welcomed back into Nigeria after the war with open arms. Yet it was only in Yorubaland and especially in Lagos that they were given all their ”abandoned property” back and welcomed back as brothers and sisters without any reservations or suspicions whatsoever. Everywhere else in the country for many years they were denied, deprived, shunned, attacked, killed, discriminated against and humiliated but never in the southwest or Lagos. It is the Igbo people more than any other that have complained about marginalisation in Nigeria, forgetting that there is no other country in the world in which there was a major civil war and yet only 10 years after that war ended the losing side produced the Vice President for the whole country in a democratic election in 1979 in the distinguished person of Vice President Alex Ekwueme

************************************** This guy deserves an Oscar ************************************************

"We the Yoruba have accommodated others in Lagos and throughout the South-west and we have let them live in peace for the last 100 years. As a matter of fact we have been glad to do so because as far as we are concerned that is one of the hallmarks of civilisation- the ability to accommodate other faiths, other cultures, other races and other nationalities and to create an equitable and just racial melting pot where equal opportunities are available to all. It is a great and noble virtue to be open and tolerant but that does not mean that we are fools and it does not mean that we do not know who we are, where we are coming from, what is ours and what our heritage is.

The fact that we have allowed others to thrive and settle in our land and share it with us does not mean that we have stopped owning that land. The suggestion that Lagos is a ”no-man’s land’ and that the Igbo or any other nationality outside the Yoruba generate up to 55 per cent of it’s revenue or business is absolutely absurd and frankly it has no basis in reality or rationality. It is not only a dirty lie but it is also very insulting. Guests, no matter how welcome, esteemed, cherished and valued they are, cannot become the owners of the house no matter how comfortable they are made to feel within it. Those guests will always be guests. Lagos belongs to the Yoruba and to the Yoruba alone. ALL others that reside there are guests, though some guests are far closer to us than others. The Igbo are the least close, the most distant and the least familiar with our customs and our ways. They ought to be the last to be claiming our heritage and coveting our land and neither can they claim to have made any real input to our glaring success. For them to think otherwise is nothing but delusion."

But this guy dey mad o! RUBBBISSHHHH

DauraDullardo:
This is the best piece of news I've heard today. I hope the Northern madness starts tonight. I promise you'll not make it back to the east. Imagine the way you've disgraced yourself today. I hope your Northern masters will act on your noise today and smoke you out. Looking forward to seeing your severed head on social media soon.

My goodness, so much hatred runs in your blood, and its not even targeted at an Afonja but a fellow IGBO like you?

You see why some of us are doubting the feasibility of Biafra? Do you realize you're the THIRD IGBO brother IPOB member to wish evil upon me? For imploring you all to restrain your tongue to save the necks of you and your loved ones.

How thinly you veil your hatred towards anyone with a contrary opinion.

My eyes have opened today. IPOB is evil and I will preach it to my IGBO brethren over here with this thread as cold hard evidence.

IPOBExposed has been right all this while. Biafra is my dream but NEVER through you evil hateful IPOBS. #Spits

LukmonSodiq:
My friend listen, if you find yourself in Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi or any northern city the moment shiit hits the fan, they will still slaughter you not minding your stupidity so far on this forum. Imagine the way this low-life has been disgracing himself up and down since morning. Who are you trying to please? God punish you and every other stupid Igbo who has sold us out for a plate of porridge.

And let's make bold to warn them, for any single Igbo head that goes down in any part of Northern Nigeria should they resume their madness, ten of theirs would follow suit here. Enough of this intimidation. Enough is enough!

Repeat after me:

I will think with my head not balls...
I will think with my head not balls...
I will think with my head not balls...
I will think with my head not balls...
I will think with my head not balls... (24x)

fulanimafia:
It clearly hurts their pride to be asked to exercise restraint in insulting the President; methinks its a coping mechanism for their self-inflicted political marginalization so allow them air out the frustration.

We have said our own, providence will be kind to the OP as he has clearly done his best to caution his brothers.

Well done Chigboboss.

Thanks sire..

HeGeMon:
Hmm, the op has made so much sense as to the current socio-political situation in the nation, I've warned about in a post of mine that what ipob is doing to heat up the polity may back fire & they should be ready for its attendant consequences!, the polity is heated at the moment, we are over 150million in this country & the international community cannot afford a humanitarian crisis emanating from unwise political interest, worse of the U.N Wil give the Nigeria military at least 1 year to quell the crisis, then ipob will understand what 'marshal law' means, please I won't want to start going into possible eventualies, I think the freedom been enjoyed by some of us is beginning to make us thirst for something bigger than us

See pure undiluted sense biko.

10 bottles of Hero for you.

LukmonSodiq:
You don't have any iota of sense in you. My goodness me! Are you daft or what? What cow and who named it Buhari? Is there any kind of evidence that remotely suggests that the said cow was named Buhari? If you don't provide a satisfactory answer, you will die in your sleep tonight.

Some traffic-seeking blogger created a sensational headline either for the purpose of seeking traffic or to create mischief and a never-do-well like you has been dancing naked in the market square ever since.

If you don't give me a satisfactory answer to my question, you'll get run over by a dangote truck. Nonsense!

Haha see painment ....I know the truth hurts but you went in with death threats? Chei see fear and denials from my supposedly courageous brother

Traffic seeking blogger indeed...oya take if it will cure your death-seeking madness: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/photos-ipob-supporters-donate-cow-allegedly-named-buhari-nnamdi-kanu/

I'm glad you only had a problem with the assumed source which you erroneously thought was a mischevious blog, and not the contents of my post.

woodcook:
Brother it seems you don't know me and the things I stand for in NL? I may make jokes but when it comes to issues to borders on the collective goods of humanity I will always stand for the truth. If I remember correctly there is an adage in my place that loosely translate as "that because people die in war does not mean we should stop fighting"

I am not having this conversation because I am in support of IPOB or in support of one Nigeria. I am only having this conversation to stimulate your thinking abilities. I like having conversations that are simulating and I will be the first to accept your position if they are logically correct or serves the purpose of promoting unity based on equality and respect for everyone, whether Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo, white or black.

I would suppose that the reason you opened this thread is to drive home your opinion based on reasons and fairness. Saying "goodbye" is chickening-out, if you open a thread you should be ready to engage people. You don't run away when people present superior argument, you either acknowledge the short comings of your positions or ask them to throw more light on their position if you think their evidence is not sufficient to sway you.

You call your comparison of Ndigbo's military preparedness with the U.S and Allied forces (with their military capacity) a "superior argument"?

...and its with this your brand of logic that you wanted to " stimulate my thinking abilities"? Are you okay bro?

Lol the jokes now write themselves on this forum. I'd rather "chicken-out' than risk deflating my IQ with that line of argument. Ciao!

woodcook:
I think you missed a day in your history class. The US did not win the revolutionary war based on their military capacity or having more resources than the British. These are some of reasons why the USA won:
Inability to Efficiently Supply the British Army ( inefficiency on the part of the British Army)
Lack of Loyalist Support (2017 is different from 1967 you might be surprise those that will turn against your Hausa Army)
The Franco-American Alliance ( The participation of the French helped stretched the resources of the British empire)

Did you also know that even with their Military might and resources the USA fought a lost battle in Vietnam? It is not all about resources and military might.


Did you also know that at the time no one ever believed that Germany will fall to the allied? Because from all indication Hitler Germany was way ahead everyone technologically and otherwise, except for human right.





Of course we are neither the US nor the Allied forces but I am sure you will agree with me that our struggle as a nation is to be like or even better than the US. Ooh we can only use the experiences/progress of the US as a reference point when it suits you most?

A word is enough for the wise. Don't use your mouth to sign cheques that your skin can't cash biko. Goodbye.

nedu666:
u expect IPOB to feel sorry for igbos in the north. for what. who sent them there, what are they doing there. rubbish. secondly have been to 4 states in the north and i keep asking where are these millions of igbo in the north. are they hidden. or only come out at night. where are these billions of dollar properties attached to igbos up north. because i cant see them.

Yet you come online to shout IPOB is IGBO and IGBO is IPOB? Yet you don't care for the lives of IGBOS in the north?

Where is your humanity? Where is your conscience? Can you see why a lot of us cannot align with the obviously heartless and selfish IPOB (like you've shown)?

Even if that's how you feel about your fellow NDIGBO do you know how tactless it is to state this on the internet?

Do you know how many NDIGBO residing in the North that are reading this and are just discovering how selfish and wicked IPOB is even if you're just a juvenile delinquent and not their spokesman?

Jeez!

OreMI22:
Op, you are a fulani, so stop pretending to be anything else.

My question to you is who are you warning and why now? Has Fulani ever warned anyone in the past?

So, what is the Fulani waiting for to use their weapons on Ndigbo?
They should go right ahead!

I hope they remember they cannot manufacture even a bullet of what Nigeria has and had to buy everything with Niger Delta oil.

As for killing Igbos in the north, i guess there are no northerners in the south.

What a pity! So this is what your brain could churn out from the numerous submissions on this thread? Wow.

Are you subliminally inviting the Foolanis (as if they're not already ravaging our lands) to inflict further carnage on NDIGBO?

Do you have ANY form of military defence against the hausa/Fulani dominated military? Are you willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of IGBOS in the north just to satisfy your plastic ego? Who even controls the ND oil used to purchase the weapons to be used against the east...is it not the same Hausa/Foolanis? Do you know that the population of IGBOS in the north is at least 15x that of northerners in the east? You need to travel, right now I'm in Minna (& spent the last 3 months in Sokoto) and know exactly what I'm saying.

From your tone you definitely cannot be an IGBO man with a functioning brain, I'm almost sure you're from one of the southern minority tribes who cannot wait to replay their role in 1967 by urging the greater EAST into avoidable war, only to fight on the enemy's side for your wicked and selfish reasons .

austinvsb1:
Taunting with symbolic actions that could be percieved by the fanatics up north as a religious provocation which could eventually escalate to untold damages to everyone involved is something i therefore would discourage in clear terms.

Thank you!

woodcook:
So how do we fix the problem if all we have to do based on your suggestion is to keep quiet and go about our normal businesses?

Secondly, do you think that keeping quiet will magically fix the problem?

I don't know you but I will let you in on a little secret about life: Everyone of us is going to live our lives in either of the following two ways: follow the established rules and live life like every other person Or go against the norm. But then in going against the norm there are to possible outcomes: either you loose it all or you win it all, there is never in-between.

Does constructive advocacy = keeping quiet?

The topic asks for a cessation of unnecessary incendiary and provocative taunts, not for anyone to keep mute about their aspirations.

woodcook:
I hope you don't mind me addressing you as a young lady. Young lady here are some fun facts for you.

Did you know that the USA was born out of "stubbornness" and "arrogance" towards the British empire?

Did you also know that the famous French revolution was also borne out of the "stubbornness" and "arrogance" of the masses towards the ruling elite?

Did you also know that if not for the "stubbornness" and "arrogance" of the allied that Hitler Germany would have gotten away with their atrocities?

Lemme butt in on this.

Did you also know that the USA had the resources and military capacity to exhibit "arrogance" and "stubborness" towards the British Empire?

Did you also know that the allied forces had the resources and military capacity to exhibit "arrogance" and "stubborness" to curb Hitlers excesses?

We are neither the U.S or Allied forces and lack any military capacity. You're comparing stones with oranges.

woodcook:
Okay I am going to assume that your fear is logical.

Are you saying that everyone in Nigeria should go ahead and live their lives in fear as if they are in North Korea, just because the president is from the North and that the Nigerian military is full of Northerners?

Nope far from it. I am saying everyone should be mindful of their actions and utterances, particularly those which are unnecessary and provocative especially when their skin lacks the capacity to cash the cheques that their loudmouths are signing.

LukmonSodiq:
I don't usually engage cowards and I'll leave this quote for you.

'What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idi0t is not worth my care'.... William Blake

Cowards will always find a way to rationalize. The reason why the Northern oligarchy has carried on with their reckless impunity is because of the prevalence of numerous subservient Southerners like you. You only serve to feed their over-bloated ego and arrogance. The Northern oligarchy do not understand what you refer to as CONSTRUCTIVE ADVOCACY. That is complete bollocks. It doesn't work, has never worked and will never work. For the benefit of those who are less enlightened, I'll refer you to the ABURI ACCORD and what later became of it. I'll also try and remind your deluded soul about the 2014 National Conference and what has become of it.

Like I told you earlier on, this is not 1967. The equation and the politics have changed. The Nigerian government doesn't enjoy that kind of international support any more. [/b]Amnesty International has already indicted the Buhari administration for gross human rights abuses and extra-judicial murders. No one will ever give them any military hardware to use against Biafra. Never again. IPOB is playing the international politics and is already attracting international attention from the powers that be. Make no mistakes about it.

The center is gradually caving in and things will soon fall apart. [b]There is an inevitable conflagration looming in the horizon and everywhere will surely bleed. After that we go our separate ways.

Ignorance personified!

Igboland will definitely bleed and be destroyed again with s-e-n-s-e-l-e-s-s kids like you roving the internet and thinking with their balls not brains! But we reasonable IGBOS will not keep quiet and allow juvenile delin-quents destroy all we have striven to rebuild for the last 50 years. Noisemaker without substance.

woodcook:
Having reading both your submission and that of Brugge I tend to agree with Brugge more. Sorry I came to this party late.

From your submission are you saying that IPOB are free to kill and/or maim anyone that insults Nnamdi Kanu? Because from Brugge's submission I don't think he was in support of anyone revering Nnamdi Kanu.

Brugge where are you? Or have they sent you to house arrest, it is very common on this forum to send anyone who speaks against the establishment to house arrest. hahaha

Those are your words, not mine. NK/Ndigbo don't have superior or any military power in fact (at the moment) or foreign allies; Buhari is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the military is dominated and controlled by northerners.

Your confusion/misconception stems from your assumption that I was referring to violence from northern youths, instead of the northern controlled Nigerian military (who will surreptitiously support any northern reaction to the unnecessary taunts).

malton:
People may call you all sorts of names, but take this from me - you are a wise man.

God bless and enrich you!

God bless you too, and thank you.

Brugge:
I have said it and I will say it again, no one should be revered.Why is Buhari being revered?
Did he find cure for HIV/AIDS or a permanent solution to malaria that is raving Africa?
On what ground should he be revered; for throwing our economic into recession twice?
You should stop promoting stupidity. I will not sit back and watch you encourage the north to ride on in their cycle of stupidity. If not today but someday this stupidity you are promoting will come back to bite you in the ass or your generation that will come after you.

Why is Nnamdi Kanu being reverred?
Did he find cure for HIV/AIDS or a permanent solution to malaria that is raving Africa?
On what ground should he be revered; for abandoning fellow NDIGBO in the struggle in Kuje PRISON?
The answer is leaders are revered when they promote the interests of their followers and appear as examples to be copied because they carry certain desirable values (Buhari - Integrity/honesty etc; Kanu - Boldness, tenacity etc).

However at the end of the day, it is not your or my business why a people choose to revere a leader. What matters is that SENSE should be applied in our utterances so as not to provoke that which we are CLEARLY unable to defend. As much as I hate that quote by Osibanjo, it is appearing truer by the day.

Brugge:
Meanwhile before I go on to respond to you, I have to remind you that non of the trash you wrote above answered the questions I asked you.

You will ignore my insult but you went ahead to remind me of "my infancy, background and upbringing". I wonder how you are still alive.

Yes the president is from the north, but common sense should have told you that Buhari presidency supersedes his loyalty to the north. As at today based on Nigeria constitution and all that is just, Buhari is first the president of Nigeria before being described as a northern.

It is cowards like you that allow the north to keep perpetuating their violence tendencies since idiots like you out of fear will always find reason to justify their actions.

As at today this country belongs to all of us and Buhari is the president of everyone: stop being an idiot wake up and understand your rights first as human being and secondly as a citizen of this country.

The east is clearly militarily inferior to the northern dominated and controlled Nigerian army and this is an OBVIOUS REALITY; nobody is talking about violent tendencies by misguided bloodthirsty youths, but the inevitability of a recurrence of 1967 while we are even more incapable of defending ourselves.

As a stubborn fly however, your destination is certain....but reasonable IGBOS will not allow you carry us along on that journey.

Naijiant:
Very stupid post. A few people naming a cow "Buhari" doesn't mean all Igbos are taunting the "north". Buhari is only one person and the only person being taunted by having a cow named after him, and you should not condemn all Igbos for the actions of a few. Think b/4 you post.

Go and read the posts made by our brothers on that thread and you will understand better.

Buhari is a revered figure in the north and when the majority of IGBO respondents comment in support of the act and even mock his illness and the symbolism of the slaughter of the cow named Buhari, it appears as NDIGBO taunting the north. Think before you quote.

joeyfire:
OP what are the repercussions for other tribes who for fun upload pictures of naked, dead or starving Igbo civil war babies for fun on NL

That is tasteless and uncivil but should serve as a reminder of the consequences of going into a war unprepared. Two wrongs have never made a right.

Brugge:
The op is a very stupid man.

How does calling a cow Buhari translate to taunting the North?

Is Buhari the president of the North or the president of Nigeria ( which as at today Nigeria include the SE region) ?

This is democracy and freedom of speech is one of the benefits of democracy and moreover, is the name Buhari reserved only for the president?

Why didn't you create the same post when "grown" men from both SW and North were calling our former president unprintable names?

Please stop being an idiot and stop heating up the polity.

Splashme:
The caricature was meant to mock the President of Nigeria unless you mean Buhari is only President of the North

I will ignore the insults because it is only indicative of your infancy, background and upbringing.

The President is a northerner and highly revered in the North so making a tasteless caricature accompanied by social media taunting is highly provocative and likely to backfire.

We are clearly and obviously unable to defend ourselves against the northern military and her foreign allies so this is a very SELF-DESTRUCTIVE path we are taking.

Trut:
Nigga, according to the news in circulation, the writer used the word "allegedly", he or she is not certain whether they called the cow Buhari. They didn't write Buhari in the body of the cow given to NK. So why given yourself headache for propaganda?

The responses on that thread are read by millions (and will be shared on other social media platforms) and the statements were largely provocative, especially as accompanied by the photos of the Youths with the Cow and Nnamdi Kanu. What you call propaganda appears as facts and we know the enemy will not take time to differentiate the two before unleashing their wrath. If it is propaganda as you claimed, I call on my brethren to DEBUNK the tale and present it as the propaganda it is, instead of taunting the Northerners who are watching closely.

Cc: Abagworo

Please Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala let this reach a wider audience.

I'm not a coward or pacifist (as called by some ignorant brothers) but a REALIST. Stop the UNNECESSARY taunts towards the North and ponder on the following;

Can we match the northern controlled Army, Air-force and Navy?

Do we have any arms or weapons stockpiled for any eventuality?

Do you know 99% of Nigeria's military establishments and armories are in the same north you are bragging against?

Are the IGBOS in the north not 15x the number of northerners in our homeland so would suffer the hardest blow?

Do you want millions of our kinsmen dead again because of pride that will take us nowhere?

Do we have the US/UK as allies like the north? Did you see what they used their US/UK influence to do to poor Jonathan?

Did your father experience the war and tell you of the horror they survived?

Returning fire for fire is not by sitting and punching sentences on your keyboard. Stop letting your fingers write cheques that your skin cannot cash. I am a PROUD IGBO man that fears nobody but I am smart enough to know my limits.

I implore all REASONABLE brethren to storm social media and debunk the "Cow named Buhari" tale and I implore my IPOB brothers to shelve the slaughtering of that cow because it is hugely SYMBOLIC. Nobody is saying cower and fear the northerners (Tufia!) but stop the unnecessary taunting.

I have lived long enough on earth to know how to pick my battles wisely. A word is enough for the wise.

LukmonSodiq:
A coward dies a thousand times before his death. Funny enough the idi0ts you're trying so hard to pacify aren't susceptible to reason. They kill and they ask no questions. Trust me they'll also slaughter you with all the shiit in your pants.

Imagine you shamelessly listing all the above and still comfortable with the status quo. Is that not a defeated conquered slave speaking? Cowardice begets sabotage... I see a saboteur already in the making.

We die once and we fear no one but God. The only way to overcome a bully is by standing up to him eyeball to eyeball, guts for guts, fire for fire. Otherwise I can assure you'll remain perpetually under.

We've had enough and this isn't 1966/67.

@ bolded Who said I am comfortable with the status quo? You think taunting the obviously militarily superior northerners is the way to release ourselves from the status quo? What happened to conserving our energies to focus it on constructive advocacy instead of provoking violence that would further weaken us?

I laugh at your statement that this isn't 1966/67 because the truth is that we are even weaker than we were then.

Can you compare the civilian broadcaster bailee Nnamdi Kanu to the experienced and seasoned General OJUKWU who failed?

Do we in 2017 have the French and Belgian allies that OJUKWU (RIP) got to fight alongside us in '67?

Do we now have any stockpile of arms and planes that we had in '67 that are now rotting at the war museum?

Is the northern controlled Nigerian military not more equipped and more populous than they were in '67 with even stronger allies?

I understand the need to appear strong, brave and fearless but it is completely useless when REALITY dictates that we are unable to defend our millions of kinsmen from the enemies attacks, or did you think any war your taunting of northerners brings would be fought in Kano? I did not say cower in fear but i'm saying APPLY SENSE and save your neck until you can defend yourself. Stop the unneccessary taunts and provocation because history has shown it will backfire. I agree this is not 1967, this is 2017. Face reality bro.

TruthisGOD:
you claim to be well informed and you still talk of separation of power between the executive and the Judicary in Nigeria context? You're still very ignorant. Like I said, there are things you don't know. You only know what the media wants you to know. Am done with you.

I have PROVEN that you're the one talking without knowledge. US/UK are not in support of Buharis govt? You were even ignorant of the military assistance and pledges that Trump has made to this administration and you're here claiming superior knowledge. Lol.

You have not answered my questions though I know you know the answers so I'm not surprised you're running away. Dont use your mouth to cause trouble for NDIGBO again; we are smarter than that. Pick your battles wisely.

Chigboboss:

Returning fire for fire is not by sitting and punching sentences on your keyboard.

TruthisGOD:
My friend use your brain and stop uttering rubbish. You're bereft of classified information. Jonathan era was under Obama, things have change. Why do you think FG released NK? Do you believe that crappy lame excuse of sickness? The knew he wasn't sick. I reiterate, my statement, stop giving the North undue feeling the have monopoly of violence!

Are you saying Trump is not in support of Buharis government despite Trump saying they would resume selling American weapons to Nigeria after they stopped selling to us before Buhari came on board?

Do you even know USA under Trump has resumed training Nigeria soldiers again just this february 2016 under Buhari?
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/198338-us-resumes-training-nigerian-troops-anti-terror-war.html

FG (judiciary not executive) released NK on bail because the judiciary is separate from the executive and even at that did you read the ridiculous bail conditions? Can someone whose passports are siezed and cannot travel truly FREE? You sound very ignorant and full of emotion and that is very dangerous.

They do not have monopoly of violence but we know (and they know) we cannot match their violence or military power so it is senseless taunting the enemy when we cannot defend ourselves from their wrath. This is SENSE speaking not pride or emotion.

You have not answered by questions which will expose the point I am making.

Can we match the northern controlled army, airforce and navy?

Do we have any arms or weapons stockpiled for any eventuality?

Do you know 99% of Nigerias military establishments and armories are in the same north you are bragging against?

Are the IGBOS in the north not 15x the number of northerners in our homeland so would suffer the hardest blow?

Do you want millions of our kinsmen dead again because of pride that will take us nowhere?

Do we have the US/UK as allies like the north? Did you see what they used their US/UK influence to do to poor Jonathan?

Did your father experience the war and tell you of the horror they survived? Do you know up till now my mother is traumatized whenever war is mentioned? Do you even think at all bro?

Returning fire for fire is not by sitting and punching sentences on your keyboard.

Why are you begging them not to vex? You pamper them like kids that is why they misbehave. Let them start their madness because of a cow named Buhari. Mtcheeew

LukmonSodiq:
Coward! Stop being a pacifist.

Folks like you are always the first to be hacked to pieces when their madness start. Trying to pacify those animals has never worked. Ask Goodluck Jonathan and Ironsi. The only way to put the animals in check is by returning fire for fire.

Please man up and grow some balls. Stop disgracing the Igbo nation. We fear no one but GOD!

Im not a coward or pacifist but a REALIST. Can we match the northern controlled army, airforce and navy?

Returning fire for fire is not by sitting and punching sentences on your keyboard. Stop letting your fingers write checks that your skin cannot cash. I am a PROUD IGBO man that fears nobody but am smart enough to know my limits. If anyone is disgracing the IGBO nation its you people that are acting emotionally instead of engaging your brains for once.

Thanks a lot bro for your response. May God bless you.

My replying you now is due to the fact that I have been trying to forgive myself for missing that test. It actually had a traumatizing effect on me.

I was -am- in Port Harcourt, but could not or rather, did not go to the venue for the test!

I was looking for affirmation all round -just from anybody -(considering that I did not have the said Ref. Code).

If I said ma.ctoni.91 annihilated the ember of hope I was garnering about going for the test, I might be right, but then again, I only have myself -just me- to blame.

Candidly, I'm still trying to get over it. You won't understand -or, maybe you would. It's forward ever.

Anyways, I sincerely appreciate your response.
Thank You.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Just be at alert for future opportunities and never hesitate to take the plunge. I paid for a return flight to Abuja from Sokoto despite not having the invite but hoping somehow I'd get the text at some point or a miracle would happen and I'd be allowed in. I guess the latter happened and we keep praying for some positive feedback soonest.
