Pornodude:
Ngwa governor ke? Now i know that Orji has been smoking shroom! can you just imagine? Ngwa pple dont even hold any reasonable position in their homeland, Aba, whereas they expect to hold the biggest and most prestigious position in the state.

Goodluck to them in their race for failure.

Your post is disgusting. Any Ngwa person as just as much right as any other man in Abia state. Please you you don't know what to say then keep quiet!

Enugu is beautiful indeed.One would wonder why a party would be against a governor that has performed so enormously.

asha 80:
two ngwa people are actually running for this election.

prince ikonne of acn.

left to me i will say let an ngwa man become governor so as to end this supposedly ngwa marginalisation to see if he or she would be different or same of the same.

Whoever is best thought by the people to serve Abia best, then that is who will win. We Igbos don't let someone rule just 'cause. . . . It is not in our nature.We always want a piece in on the action. May the best man/woman win.

Katsumoto:
As at January 1966, there were 330 officers in the Armed Forces.

Igbo   (Other South) Yoruba   North      Total
104       43                  67          116      330

Using the numbers above, Igbo had approximately 30% in the armed forces.

There were 25 coup plotters in the January 66 coup who were officers; 21 were Igbo (I can provide the list if you want it). Which means Igbo contributed 84% of officers. Of the four who were non-Igbo, three were junior officers(lieutenants). If your agreement were to be accepted, Igbo should have only contributed 30% of coup plotters.

Source: Robin Luckham, The Nigerian Military: A Sociological Analysis of Authority and Revolt, 1960-67 (Cambridge: At the University Press 1971):231.

Please list the Igbo elders who were killed in jan 66 or the Northerners who were coup plotters.

It is disingenuous to include NCOs as part of the coup plotters since NCOs only follow orders. For instance, Nzeogwu murdered sgt Oyeleke who refused to fire shots at Bello's house. Try to be informed before passing factually inaccurate information to others.

Factually inaccurate how,exactly? Explain, because you run your mouth too much and with bias. You can never prove this to be an Igbo coup,ever.Especially not with other officers participating in it. So you try to be informed and unbias. So in order for it not to have been an Igbo plot, what percentage was best to render it not being an Igbo coup? Also among senior officers, how many northern,western,MW, and eastern officers were killed respectively?

[quote author=Ma_J_Blige link=topic=596218.msg7641463#msg7641463 date=1296499071]Bernard Ogedengbe was one of three young men – the others were Lawal Ojuolape (30) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) – executed by firing squad under the orders of General Buhari, not for armed robbery or murder, but for being couriers of some illicit drug (cocaine or so).

Wont these continue?[/quote]How is that a bad thing?

Obiagu1:
Why some people keep interacting with this bk guy is beyond me.
Well emptiness should keep interacting with emptiness, that's all I'll say. Birds of the same feather . . .

I usually ignore this dude.Just felt like giving him a little stab at it today . I'm done tho, he's ignored for good.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=595963.msg7641233#msg7641233 date=1296496166]. . . . maaan, FUXCK OUTTA HERE!!! [/quote]Exactly, you'd render whatever proof that I have useless because it doesn't support your bias and useless claim. I am curious to find out how you came up with your assumption which caused me to reply you.Provide your proof and source. O and umm, northerners committing a massacre 6 months after their "beloved" religious leader is killed instead of the next day or even within that same month, highly unlikely. If he was most beloved by them and the emirs didn't think the failed coup was nationalistic they definitely would have sent their people to slaughter Igbos right after Saudana was killed.Believe that. Every nigerian knows the hausas don't waste time when it comes to riots. Riot 6 months later?!lol

Anyways go back to my other post and get it crackin.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=595963.msg7641155#msg7641155 date=1296495395]Proof please!

Proof Please!

Sure. . . didnt some other Ibo Professor dude claim Nzeogwu was Hausa or Yoruba?

Yup! Thats why every Hausa and they moms was feinding for Ibo blood (instead of a "Nationalistic" one) in July'66?!

Yeah, maybe if they came from Medellin or Bogota!

Scat now, punk!

Fuxcking history revisionists![/quote]So would you like me to provide the proof from a non-nigerian or a nigerian? And which of the proofs will stop you from calling it lies or bias? Also, I would like your proofs also because you are the one who brought up the claims. Source to pls.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=595963.msg7640988#msg7640988 date=1296493557]And, where did Katsumoto lie? Were Ibos not the executioners of the coup? Wasnt it an Ibo attempt to hold on to Power? Was it a matter of "statistical concidence and not tribalistic inclinations" that led to ONLY Non-Ibo leaders being killed by Ibo Coup plotting officers, too? Oh, throw in Ademoyega right after insinuating Nzeogwu aint from Eastern Nigeria?

And you wonder why everyone thinks yall a buncha deceitful, blood, thirsty thugs! Try telling the truth for once!

Wonder why no one in the current Nigerian Presidential elections chose a Ibo running mate, as much as they begged and schemed for it? Freaking race of deceitful cowards![/quote]Neither the Ibos or the Igbos were the executions of the coup but men from various nigerian ethnic groups. The Igbos happened to be the most in numbers.However the soldiers that carried it out were were almost entirely northrners.

Igbo leaders not being killed, um, a bunch of BS.Igbo leaders were also killed. And to think Ademoyega was the only yoruba in the nationalist coup,is highly dumb.Also, when it came to numbers with in the coup plotters the northerners came in second. Hmmm, some "Igbo" coup indeed.

Nzeoqwu was from the Midwest. Asaba to be exact.Just thought you should know.

An Ibo attempt to hold on power,idk. An Igbo attempt to hold on to power, no. Everybody and they mama knew that the failed Nzeogwwu coup was a nationalistic coup.This is more of a reason why there were no riots carried out after it.


Deceitful, blood, thirsty thugs? Um,no.Pull down your skirt. Igbos- greedy, Yorubas- deceitful, Hausas- blood thirsty. Um,yea, that is the stereo type in nigeria, where are you coming from.ha ha.


Cowards? Purely stereotyped to yorubas,even your mama would tell ya that, boy.

alj harem:
a people living in western and southwestern Nigeria (10 to 12 million persons in 1972, according to rough estimates); Dahomey (more than 200, 000 persons), where they are called the Nago or Anago; and Togo, where a small number lives.

The ethnic Yoruba groups include the 6yo, Ife, Ijesha, and Egba. They all consider themselves a single people and have a single culture. They speak the Yoruba language, which has a number of dialects. The Yoruba language has its own literature; newspapers are published in the language, and it is used for instruction in the schools. Islam and Christianity coexist among the Yoruba, along with a polytheism with a well-developed pantheon of gods. States existed among the Yoruba long before the arrival of Europeans in West Africa (in the 15th century). The Yoruba were the creators of remarkable bronze and terra-cotta sculptures that flourished from the 12th to the 14th century and that were possibly associated with the more ancient Nok culture (end of the first millennium b.c.). The Yoruba art of bronze-casting was taken up by the Benin peoples. The chief occupation of the Yoruba is farming (yams, cacao). Among the Yoruba, developing capitalist relations are closely intertwined with strong survivals of earlier social structures.

This does not say that they are indigenes just the amount of yorubas believed to be living there as well as in other countries such as the U.S.,U.k.,etc.: http://www.joshuaproject.net/peoples.php?peo3=16057

alj harem:
ezeuche there are indigenous yorubas in togo,.,.,.,.,., ewe or not some of them call themselves yorubas

it is just like calling a fulani in sudan that he is not fulani because he is in sudan

Please stop eating sand and just go buy garri.It is seriously screwing with your brain. Where in the world did you get the bolded from?!

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=595370.msg7636867#msg7636867 date=1296442504]Was that post directed at me? But if it was, you know Francisco Macías Nguema was a madman. That man killed a lot of people. Especially the Bubi people who once numbered 3 million people have been reduced to 100,000!   [/quote]Wtf

Equatorial Guinea :

Languages spoken in the country are Spanish, Equatoguinean Spanish, native languages (including Fang, Bube, Benga, Pichinglis, Ndowe, Balengue, Bujeba, Bissio, Gumu, Annobónese, Igbo and a nearly extinct Baseke), French, others (mainly English, or German, as well as Fernando Poo Creole English).

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=595370.msg7632249#msg7632249 date=1296373005]On #5. In my post, I said, "Creation of a 6th state for the SE [b]to level with other zones [/b]in the federation. This means that whatever number of states in other zones will be reciprocated in the SE.

On #6. Anyi amago ife ga-eme echi. Nigeria enweghi isi n'odu. If its left like that, we're not better off as a state because our allocation is low. If its explored, benefit would surely come our way in terms of funds. Already, there's a private refinery springing up there.

On #8. Eventhough we showed ourselves to be resilient and turned out to be once again successful and all that, we still need that compensation. It wouldn't alter any historical knowledge of the successful and enterprising nature of Ndigbo. [size=4pt](The jews have been well compensated for the holocaust despite their similarity with Ndigbo). [/size][/quote]#5.True word.

#6.  The equal amount of state can take care of that.We loves billions, i heard trillions,to other regions due to our only having 5 states.

#7. The Jews got reparations in the U.S., which the holocaust never happened at not in germany. We Biafrans got a market area name Biafra in Cameroun,so I've heard, due to Camerouns appreciation for the Igbos in their country and the salute to our hard struggle that we put up in the civil war. But I definitely feel you bro.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=595370.msg7632010#msg7632010 date=1296367929]I want:

1) A second niger bridge with 2 or more lanes on it.

2) Sorting of the issue of abandoned properties of PH.

3) Building a new international terminal at Enugu airport.

4) Finishing the Onitsha Riverport.

5) [s]Creation of a 6th state for the SE to level with other zones in the federation. [/s]

6) [s]Recognition of Anambra as an oil producing state which will come with benefits which other ND states enjoy such as increased Fed. allocation[/s].

7) Building of power stations at Enugu to be powered by coal and natural gas respectively which would supply the SE and most of the SS with electricity.

8  [s]Compensation of affected Ndigbo who had significant* cash in their bank accounts prior to the civil war. Though it might be cumbersome and illogical to do so, I'll settle for economic packages for the SE and SS to compensate them for the civil war and environmental pollution of their areas respectively.
[/s]
9) Checkmating the erosion crisis ravaging the SE.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* = at least £1000 or more.

These are not too much to ask (or demand). I'll vote for anyone who would ensure these demands. Even Awo can have my vote from the grave as far as these demands are assured.[/quote]#5. Never give a exact number of states.It is better to ask for the equal amount as every other region. If all have 6 already and you all are given one more,which is likely to happen, you will still be marginalized.All will have 7 or 8 while you just have 6.

#6.Its better the oil stays untapped,"Onye ma echi".

#8. We showed ourselves to be resilient and we were able to elevate ourselves from the ashes to once again be the most wealthiest tribe in nigeria.Our ethnic story of From rags to riches is embedded in the history books. We need no reparations.

alj harem:
what!!!!

how, i ask again how

yorubas will never ever fight, even if they are been pucked in the backside

ijaws will easlly be wiped out by kanuris,.,. fact

igbos will be stoped by hausas and tiv+ other northern groups

yorubas with fulani, fulanis will murder yorubas like chicken to man, remember kwara

so you southerners better look forward to lick our asses or face,,,,,,,,, well you know the rest

One by one

1. I hope you remember what they did to you all in their land a decade ago.

2. there is no way in hell,and i promise you, that a kanuri can put up a fight against an Ijaw.lol

3. About the Igbos, we kicked you all behinds time after time when you tried it during the civil war lol. You all are weak. Why do you think your people have been preventing us from joining the army? Its because you all know what that train of Igbos would leave you all if you screwed up again.It's fear! You all are weak and can't fight a man's battle.You only know how to prey on the defenseless.

alj harem:
thank you

this jason is as dumb is chyz and ezeuche combine together,.,. he is as shameless as chyz kwara babe

Fck u bytch.Just like one of you street rats to attack someone that has nothing to do with the situation.

alj harem:
first of all you are igbo,.,. fact

secondly, how do you hope to defeat hausa/fulani that are from senegal, niger, chad, sudan, benin, ghana, etc

thirdly, remember kanuri is still there that are in chad,niger and nigeria

fourly, you are craze

i am a true northerner and will defend my people if it means me dying, i will defend my people

we northerners have to come together now

The same way the Igbos were defeating them before they ran to the international countries for help.Imagine if the whole south was to join.

jason123:
But now that is done, how do we justify the killing of my people by the 4th and 5th largest ethnic group in the country on just 600 000 people? Yeah, thats how I feel.

The business between the Urhobos and Itsekiri are just minor(altho some may not call it that) mishaps.Now as for the Ijaws, there cause is from expansionism.I have a friend from Ijale, Ondo state who says these people continue to raid her gradmother's farm and also claim some of their land as well. We happened to be happen to be talking about nigeria and I happened to mention Ijaw.You should have seen the look on her face and her words of expression. For the most part the urhobos are peaceful, they just to like the sense of any domination.The Ijaw it is just expansionism and lies.

jason123:
My problem with warri is the same problem with Nigeria. When you force people together without thinking of the consequences, then you get the warri situation, Nigeria situation, jos situation and the sudan situation.
I am not saying the whole of warri but most of it and has the majority in that land, what do you expect? Its like the Jos situation where the hausas and fulanis are the ijaws and urhobos.

look we where all held against our will by the brits and we continue to fall for their nonsense.The whole warri situation is very serious, the ijaw and urhobo/urhobo isoko were treated badly by the Western Region Head, Awolowo.There land even taken. Naming the Olu of Isekiri the Olu of Warri was basically forcing the under itsekiri rule.This type of act is why the Urhobo/Isoko, Edos, Igbos wanted out of the Western Region. This led to the creation of the MW.

alj harem:
just like you piss the yorubas up by claiming lagos and piss northerners up by claiming abuja 

Yea we claim Zamunda and Wonderland too.

jason123:
Yes, I know. But does that justify the killing of my people?? Moreover, Itsekiris were the original occupants of Warri.

To your question,No. As an Anioma man Warri is not my wahala;however, I can tell you for sure that your People are not the original occupants of the whole of Warri. You are going to really piss people of by that statement. If there are any Urhobo/Isokos or Ijaws on here now, you better hope that they do not see what you just typed.

jason123:
We must reiterate that, the records show that Itsekiris cannot expect justice, freedom from intimidation and fair play in Delta State Since 1926, some Uhrobos who have settled in Warri, with the support of some of their kinsmen outside the boundaries of the Itsekiri Kingdom, have
schemed to undermine Itsekiri culture and institutions and have tried to use judicial, extra judicial and violent means to take ownership of Itsekiri land.

From 1952, Itsekiris have experienced periodic violence, arson and mayhem from some Uhrobos. Past unprovoked attacks on the Itsekiri and their property in many Urhobo towns and villages and their mass expulsion from those areas, virtually terminated the existence, even till today, of resident Itsekiri communities in the Urhobo hinterland. There was also the incident of the premeditated attack in 1976 by the people of Ekpan (Urhobo) on the ancient Itsekiri town of Ubeji and its people in a unclothed attempt to acquire, by force of arms, ownership of Ubeji land on which the Warri refinery is located. The matter was later investigated by the Justice Omosun
Commission, which found the Ekpan people to be the aggressors. The list of attacks against the Itsekiris is endless.

On the 29th October 1999, we have history repeating itself for the Itsekiris - unprovoked, premeditated attack on the Itsekiri town of Ajagbodudu by the people of Ogharefe ( Urhobos) in a unclothed attempt to acquire by force of arms, ownership of Ajagbodudu.

http://www.waado.org/urhobohistory/WesternNigerDelta/Ajagbodudu/UrhoboItsekiriRelations/ItsumovRepliesEkeh.htm

Maybe you are not getting it(Urhobo mothergroup=Urhobo, Isoko subgroups) so let me post it a gain. . .  

Now open this link of Delta state's ethnic map and tell me where you see the name Isoko: http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/uploads/maps/stateMaps/images/684e33e69135b0143fa618a1fe70e03d53b840bb.jpg


Also, do you understand why these groups are attacking them? Also, the name Olu of "Warri" was a curse bestowed on them. He is not the Olu of "Warri" but instead the Olu of Itsekiri.

jason123:
Yes, I have never been to Delta state but I know what the urhobos are doing to my people. I do not speak for them but I speak for myself!

Do you even know that the Urhobo is called the mother ethnic group name for both the urhobo and isoko so how will you know who is doing what?lol. You don't notice that people usally say Urhobo/Isoko? Its because they are basically the same,brothers from the same parents. Wherever Urhobo go Isoko shall follow.

Now open this link of Delta state's ethnic map and tell me where you see the name Isoko: http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/uploads/maps/stateMaps/images/684e33e69135b0143fa618a1fe70e03d53b840bb.jpg

jason123:
First of all Chyz, you are talking with emotions here or you did not read my comments.

I said we should be prepared, I did not say we should secede. We should only secede if need be! I really do not want to bring the biafra issue here because Biafra is a totally different case. Did the ijaws or ND say they want to join?? Did the MW say they needed liberation?

. .  . and about the election issue, did I not say it would be a loose confederation and not a totalitarian one?

Sorry the speaking off of emotions thing isn't going to work here.  I spoke truth and facts.No emotions. Stop being hypocritical. Live and let live. No such thing as the MW. Who brought that up and who said we Biafrans wanted them to join?Please I want to here this.If you are talking about my people, Anioma Igbos, then I'd like to make this straight [b]WE ARE BIAFRA AND WE ARE GOING WITH BIAFRA [/b]. As far as the ijaws are concerned, i thought Dee Eziachi made it clear that we have no plans to bring the ijaws along.If they happen to do want to come along,it would only be by Biafra's permission.Me personally I am against it.

jason123:
Edo or isoko, YES. Urhobo? NO!

Obviously you never been to Delta State.I seriously doubt you are Itsekiri either. Tell me the difference between an Isoko and Urhobo fundamentally?


No let Beaf catch you ooo!

jason123:
Odua republic! The reasons are:

1) I am not for southern Nigeria because you cannot have two kings in a place. The reason why Nigeria has partially worked is because it is an asymmetric society with 3 major tribes. If one leaves, the other two would gang up and bring that one back
2) I am not for Niger-delta republic because I do not support the ijaw expansionist agenda and the massacre on my people
3) I am not for Nigeria because it is a time bomb waiting for the slightest agitation

All in all, I am for Odua republic. Atleast, there is nothing like "core" yoruba which I like. Although, they are tribalist but I can live with that since they always practice a loose confederation of nation anyway .

You are such a hypocrite.Now that a yoruba man has come out and said the same thing that we Igbos have been saying all of a sudden he is correct.On the other hand you continued to condemn us for making the same exact remarks.

Bow you are asking for oduduwa republic but just the other day you said NIGERIA WILL STAY TOGETHER, NOBODY IS GOING ANYWHERE! As soon as you heard about Igbos talking about Biafra. Also, if the yorubas are tribalist like you say, why would they ever completely welcome you into their countries as equals.Do you think they will elect for president someone with the last name Uagbor(an Itsekiri name) over an Adekoye? Please, for the sake of fairness and to kill hypocrisy, speak no more condemnation of Igbos/Ibibios when they talk about wanted to be in Biafra or create there own country.

seanet03:
Ezeuche, chz and co southerners we need to get out of this country fast. Even though we will not be a single country, it pays us to live seperately away from this hausa killers.

I agree. It is not a muslim thing.These people all really taking out Ahmedu Bello's wish of "Conquest to the sea". I think we should start contacting our leader via email,etc. MASSOB has a website,I think. OPC has a website, I have been on it. We can't let this get out of hand.These soldiers are showing no fear of authority(GJ). They are really out to take over.
