there's nothing wrong in going to the poll and vote the candidate of your choice, it's called democracy in action, not betrayal. voting for a notorious criminal just because he's of the same tribe or rigion with me is pure stupidity. my issues with those who replace Jonathan with buhari is why buhari, even if Jonathan needed to be replaced?. what will be the level of my sanity if i choose today to replace buhari with abubarka shakau just because i don't like buhari face

[quote author=allthingsgood post=84128689]Igbos won't read this one. They are too emotional to understand the complexities of politics and governance. Also stuck in the past and unable to learn from history[y/quote] so Igbo man has become that lazy to be reading every garbage put up by every amateur revisionist in the name of history. for your information, in Igbo culture, betrayal is considered a crime even if it's done under duress or for convenience reasons. once you're known for that, you will be living like an outcast, the effects can even extend to your children. i don't know if it's the same in your culture

closing nigerian shops at this point that nigeria has already closed her boarders will work in the interest of those nigerian traders in Ghana, because by times guta members sell off their stocks and are unable to buy new stocks from Nigeria due to boarder closure, ghanian customers will be the ones beginning nigerian traders to open their shops and sell to them and nigerian traders will hike their prices

chrisagyei:
Yes,GUTA hates Nigerians and all their trades in Ghana.Left with them,all the millions of Nigerians living in Ghana will get out of the country buh our leaders and security personnels always try to stop them from causing any mass closure of businesses and aluta.GUTA represents All Ghanaian traders in Ghana. Ghana has a law that bans any foreigner from trading in Ghana except when you have 1 million dollars as capital buh these Nigerians and foreigners always points to ECOWAS for protection and since you Nigerians closed your borders,although it hardly affected any business except some few alcoholic companies that exported some of it's products to Nigeria and West Africa,they took the opportunity to warn our foreign minister in Ghana of Nigeria defying this same ECOWAS laws protecting their businesses in Ghana by closing the border and told the foreign minister to close our borders too in Ghana or all the foreign Nigerian businesses in Ghana will be locked forever and nobody can shout ECOWAS again.That's what they've started.

both you and so-called guta are economic illiterates, guta as a traders association, can never do without nigeria, if nigeria sustain the current boarder closure, most of them will be put out of business, while your government will lose high revenues. the well-being of ghanian economy is about 70 percent tied to Nigeria. about 90 percent of goods exported to Ghana by Nigerians are not manufactured in ghana while about 90 percent of goods exported to Nigeria by ghanians are manufactured in Nigeria. just pray nigeria doesn't pull out of ecowas treaties, because if they does as being speculated, ghanians will desert their country.

unfortunately, your father was a traitor who sabotaged Lagos invasion. in military sabotage is a capital offence. he should have told biafrans that he was in their army to fight for one and equal nigeria

Igbos are hated everywhere because they prosper more than their hosts everywhere. Prosperity begets hatred. #Akubuilo

Copied..
I will search for Amadu Bellow's speech about Igbos in 1950's. (YouTube video)

Modified :..Here is the video

even akintola has his own anti igbo frustrations on video. my grandfather told me their success was so tremendous that if not the war that set them back, they would have overtaken Japan .

Babalegba:
I was not talking about bestiality but beastly barbaric human behavior,greed, boastfulness, jingoistic behavior in inter tribal relations and disrespect of others. Ask yourself introspectively why ibos are always the subject of hatred and you would understand that character flaws that needs to be addressed are present in their midst.No tribe is anywhere near perfect but it is bad that many yorubas prefer the hausa who is Muslim to ibos who are Christian.

can I ask you? why were the jews hated . well igbos don't beg for love, it's only the godforsaken and the cursed that beg for love. pre independence people of southern cameroun borrowed anti igbo sentiments from feudalistic yorubas and hausafulani who resorted to anti igbo sentiments and envy when the republican igbos came from nowhere and overtook them in every sphere of human development and civilisation. igbos were able to achieve these when they took the advantage of their feudalistic cultures. it's very sad that these two people have continued to practice this same feudalism till today. why won't they lag behind

How will the goods make it to Kaduna? Teleportation?

NB: I need someone to break it down for me. I don't understand how containers are cleared at ports.

very much easy, all destined for the north will be transported via rail lines free of charge

MetaPhysical:
They must first do gragra and then they calm down. Same thing happened when the Babaloja of Ladipo market was appointed. Ibo protested and then calmed down. Its their nature, this is how they behave in North also. People familiar with them know to ignore their noise. Thats why Iyaloja Tinubu-Ojo ignored them and went ahead and installed the pair of Babaloja/Iyaloja for the market.

for your mind the leader of ladipo market is babaloja. vist ladipo market you will see they take the issue of their leadership seriously with their election campaign posters everywhere, computer village i was told has a good number of yorubas traders, if these yorubas say they want babaloja,i don't think the igbos there will oppose them but in the markets where there are no yorubas the case will be totally different because the greatest fear of igbos about about entrusting the leadership of the markets they built in the hands of babaloja is fire outbreak, it has happened many times in the past and the imposed babalojas whose security of the markets are in their hands could not give account or compensate the traders.these traders normally suspect ethnic sabotage

luvmijeje:
I know you are not interested in just doing business. You are also interested in power. I'm only explaining to those who don't know that what happening and what will happen between Igbos and Yoruba is because of power. The power over Lagos.

Your hunger for power is stirring the hornet nest. So I wish you best of luck in your struggle.

when I was living in cameroon, the government there built so many markets currently dominated by igbos, yet I didn't see this kind of thing there. since you love babaloja practice, tell the governors in the southwest to build many rent and taxe free markets.any igbo that come the to trade there will have no option than abide by the leadership and dictates of your babaloja, not when an igbo man use his hard-earned money to acquire land, building market and renting a shop, somebody will come from nowhere to reap where he did not sow. it won't work please we pay taxes

Your hunger for power is stirring the hornet nest. So I wish you best of luck in your struggle. it's like you're forcing igbo man to be his leader in the market they purchased, built, paid land fee, rent and taxes to the government with their hard-earned. if I may ask you, do you have intention of burning their shops in night because these things have happened in the past, while being such an intruder

Westbestside:
Zombie , which Yoruba, what concerns Yoruba with happening in other regions. Na my hand them go cut. Go and tell Indonesia not to put death sentence on drug dealer na

Just as the law in your region doesn't affect Yoruba abi

this place is not a classroom

wowcatty:
Yoruba don’t dictate how others run their affairs and I dare you to post a link where Yoruba protested what’s being done in other people’s land. If Kwara and Kogi were included in the sharia north, then Yorubaland carved to the north must be excluded. So, since Iyaloja has not been extended to igboland, there’s no basis for comparison here. Grow your region and do whatever you want with it and stop watching what Yoruba are doing with theirs. That your ancestors have messed up your lives is an understatement, but what your children won’t forgive you for is the Igbo tradition of depending on others to survive. As you can see, Nigeria is unsustainable and being held together with gun and bloodshed on burrowed time. You igbos have it coming and on panick mode.

imposing a leadership of any kind on people in this 21st century is dictatorship, even a foreigner in Nigeria has his right that can never be violated by anybody including the government, please don't violate the rights of igbos even if they are foreigners. I know you're a kid during sharia crisis, yes yoruba leaders protested strongly against it, obasanjo said it was unconstitutional, wole Soyinka was so mad about it, both religious and traditional leaders in yorubaland were totally against it. search about shiaria opposition in Nigeria even goggle will help you

luvmijeje:
What's repressive about it? I'll list 5 benefits of that system of government that I saw with my eyes. I was managing a shop that deals with costume jewelries.

1. There was a time we had issues of electricity in Tejuosho, we reported to Iyaoloja, who on our behalf fight for us and within 48 hrs the issue was a resolved.

2. We also had issues of area boys coming to task us and our customers, we reported to Iyaoloja that we are already paying tax so why should we should we pay extra to the area boys. That same week Iyaoloja brought police to arrest them.

3. We had issues of payment of toilet facilities. We are like how can we be paying for toilet facilities when we are already paying for rent. And they explained that if there was no charges, the toilet facilities will be misused. They were still on that issue till I left there.

4. There are other categories of traders who don't have standard shop but space, they complained the money they are paying for space is too much. In
my present the money payed was reduced.

5. We had issues of traders fighting each other and constituting nuisance in the market space. They were reported and their shops were locked up till they pay the require fine.



So why are Igbos not contented with these?

you asked a question, why are igbos not contented with these, answer : they already have market leaders in place elected through their associations, and will never accept leadership of someone who is not a stake holder in the market, someone that didn't pass through electoral process, for example the case of ladipo market, you saw how babaloja there was rejected, those good things you mentioned about babaloja are good, but igbos would like them come from the government not babaloja.

, when northerners imposed repressive sharia in the north with claims that it was their custom and religion the yorubas were among Nigerians that protested until northerners promised that it will not affect non northerners and Muslims living their region. since yorubas have claimed this repugnant and repressive social practice is their way of life which they love so much, they should make sure it doesn't affect non yorubas living in their region

professor nwabueze of yesterday that was made popular through nadeco activism drafted the so-called ironsi decree? this Kuku na real coco his mumu no get part two

while i condemn all jungle justices in totality, I called on opc leadership to verify if those ballot box snatchers were actually their members because the opc I knew before might be wielding weapons, but you don't see them engaging in criminality such as armed robbery, ballot box snatching or election disruptions etc

the way buhari rushed to replace a yoruba finance minister who resigned on moral ground with a northerner, his humiliating sack of the man from balyelsa who was appointed by osibanjo and his subsequent replacement with a northerner as dss boss, his current attempt to humiliate the current cjn out of office and his possible replacement with a northerner have shown that buhari was not even happy and comfortable seeing all those praise singing and

telling us that Nigerian soldiers killed many bokoharam before retaking baga is like telling us bokoharam killed many Nigerian soldiers when seized the town from them. what am seeing here is a case of tactical withdrawal or retreat.it's only an unprofessional commander the will allow many of his men to be killed before he can retreat in a battle where the enemy's fire power is clearly superior. bokoharam is a guerrilla group, guerrilla tactics don't involve seizing towns,

iammo:
the major flaw in this writeup is bringing yoruba and hausa into your trumpet blowing and chestbeating epistle, nothing to envy here bro

since your outburst or feeling of being talked down didn't arise from the veracity or otherwise of the claims, how do you convince me it wasn't envy motivated

iammo:
insecurity, low selfesteem and inferiority complex is having to constantly blow your own trumpet even when others see you differently, it is having to talk down other tribe to feel go od about once self. irrelevant comparison.. Osu slave discriminating practice even among same tribe even in 2018. i wonder if the over 200 tribes in nigeria also starts this childish disrespectful trend of "na me better pass" if we wouldnt be looking at large scale disagreement and conflicts

nothing kill faster than envy, take note. success, achievements as well greatnes mean nothing if one cannot blow their trumpets about it, so stop feeling talked down because one is celebrating himself

in part of country I came from, old age is not just a dream but a prayer point of every human person,but here we are seeing a supposedly 76 old grandfather celebrating his birthday without his wife, children and grandchildren, and some people are saying I should not suspect

the main target of the elections boycott is the message it will send, you must be shortsighted not to recognize this fact,.some hypocrites say ipob should participate in Nigeria elections' but they will not tell you ipob were declared terrorists by Nigerian standard,the imports of this, are that no open advocate of Biafra will be allowed to be declared a winner by the dependent national electoral commission dnec. even if you as a biafran advocate get elected or announced as winner by Chance, sorry Will be your name any day you advocate for Biafra at national assembly, both the efcc and judiciary even the Nigerian sentimental media will declare war on you

Igbo politicians and their sycophants want ipob to participate in the Nigerian elections so that when you talk about Biafra tomorrow they will say we are the elected and representatives of the people, you can't talk about Biafra without consulting us, even when all of them know very that the elections that bring them to power are fraudulent. the surest and easiest way to ridicule and kill biafan dream is bring it closer to Nigerian politics, any day it happen, it Will die a natural death

netpro:
If you are embarking on a peaceful protest, get permit. It is the law of the land. Failure to do that is a bridge of law and order.

God bless Nigeria.

do you mean to say if such permission is denied such protests cannot take place, please come clearer. protest is a civil right, you only inform the authority or the police for the purpose of protection not permission

you want ipob to participate in Nigeria elections so that tomorrow the same you will be the first to rush to the social media and ask them to withdraw their elected representatives from Nigeria if really need Biafra. besides who is even deceiving you that your vote will count under this government that has refused to sign electoral law

where were those hypocritical angry Nigerians when the president said his wife belong to the kitchen and other room, where were they when the president called Nigerians criminals, youths lazy, where were they when he address markel as president of west Germany, please allow comedians to do their business after all they were not in Nigeria where free speech is a taboo.if you're not happy blame the people that give them the reasons to use you to make jokes

what's the importance of VP slot in Nigeria apart from being a chief servant to the president, go and look for job

sending a clearly aged man to the war front just because he joined the army as anoncommissioned officer is evil

NwaAmaikpe:




I don't know about this Twitter guy but, if my father was just a mere Warrant officer in the Nigerian army, I'd be ashamed to show him off. A part of me will even be happy that Boko Haram took him with them.

Those that rose to General don't have two heads or three blockos.

if you don't know anything why not keep silent. warrant officer rank is the highest rank one will attend if you're in the army without passing through NDA or having university certificate

once national army start to shoot armless dissident citizens anywhere in the world they can't win any just war anywhere in the world, it's natural
