naijaguy1234: Ojukwu will not like this .Bianca will sleep with anyone. Even Bruce follow chop am. I learnt Jonathan smashed her too before she gave her ministerial post. She's a b1tch.
Ojoji: I think this write up is not a means to generate unnecessary controversies but time to carry out analysis to see how we can change bad situations history has bequeathed on us. Honesty, there is no tribe or region that is not feeling the pain and for how long? Structurally, it is impossible for Nigeria to work that is a bitter truth. Which way should we go from here? This Is not the time to trade blames, pointing accused fingers, or played victim role but time to take responsibility of what that have happened and forgive ourselves especially we southerners.
As I said somewhere, we have to know from where the rain started beating us, then we find a solution. This cannot be achieved when some people are in self denial and are bent on bringing down the roof because they have previously failed on their attempt to sodomise us with corn stalk joysticks.
Xander85: Oh please, spare us the pretence! You knew exactly what you were doing when you posted this revisionist, one-sided cra'p! Saying you didn't author the article but just innocently posted it because you're looking for a detached and dispassionate analysis of the points raised is bullshit! You expected dispassionate discourse on such a Igbo-bashing thread on nairaland!? Dude, get real!
Please prove that the narrative is one sided. No bring any "high sense " here. Let us hear your side.
Xander85: Zik was an idealist who wrongly believed 'one Nigeria' stood a chance of success! I'm cutting him some slack due of his pan-Nigerian childhood and upbringing which shaped his worldview!
Now if you're a 'one Nigeria' apostle, Zik should be your god shouldn't he? If however you're not a 'one Nigeria' apostle, yet keep quiet and allow things to continue the way they are, it stands to reason that you're either a two-face hypocrite or a coward!
Hope that answered your question?
And he was quoted to have said that his people were destined to ..... read the post again. The motive was very clear. Somebody should be brave enough to refute the narrative.
ItsMeAboki: God punish any Igbo man who should ever again open his mouth and insult Lord Lugard; apparently every regional leader had wanted to reverse the amalgamation or have a secession clause inserted in the constitution for any dissatisfied region to have the right to later break away and go its own way should it choose to do so - all but one leader fought against it and successfully got the backing of the British to squash it; that person was not other than Nnamdi Azikiwe.
Did you see Nwabueze hugging Atiku because of the promise on restructuring? And he was said to have penned the unification decree.He has been on all the constitution drafting panels and he never asked for it. Lugard is saying back to sender from his grave. They scuttled the arrangement that could gave kept the peace .
Remember their current narrative?... Nobody is refuting the revelation. You cannot reinvent the wheel.
Sirheny007: Pray, tell me where the rain started beating us. From the North who threatened secession on the un-serious British if they could not 'carry their conquest to the Land and Sea' as Ahmadu Bello put it (because of the growing insecurity in the North about southern dominance) and whose demands rendered Nigeria 'irredeemable' or to the Igbos on whose neck has hung an albatross of 1966 coup and 'drafting the unification constitution' as one poster here put it?
Anyone who tries to trace the exact place the rain descended on us from post independence is not being true to himself. It will only result to parochial submissions.
Refute the narrative conveyed by the post and stop trying to be clever by half. Your forebears shot that albatross.... that is the theme of the post. Refute it.
gidgiddy: Why just the genesis? What about the last 52 years that Yorubas and their Northern partners have held power? They said Igbos did bad and they are coming to correct the bad, they ended up doing worse. Everthing that Northerners and Yorubas accuse Igbos od doing, they did 50 times worse when they came to power.That's why it does not make any sense.
They said Igbos conducted a coup, they later turned "coup plotting" into A profession and conducted many
They said Ironsi introduced unitary rule, but they came in and kept dividing the 4 Regions Ironsi kept, into 36 states, making Nigeria far more unitary than Ironsi ever made it
They said Zik resisted a secession clause in the constitution, they have had 52 years to add the same law but they will never. But if someone waves a Biafran flag in the East, they will call for the Python to come and dance
Everything they accuse Igbos of doing, they did 50 times worse
You must know where the rain started falling on you.
Igbos did not do bad, they planned bad and God did not allow it. Who knows , we could have become Osu. They could even have sterilissed us to reduce our population and take over our lands. Just use a fertile imagination and get the drift ....
BaaleOko: Honestly a thorough psychological research needs to be conducted on the yoruba race at an evaluative level, cause their proclivity towards Igbo obsession isn't just getting ridiculous and scary, it actually borders on sheer lunacy at these point.
Do not bury your head in the sand.
GO and ask Nwabueze and Mbazulike Amechi... They are still alive. Ask them why they do not want to exorcise the demons before they die. This is a chronoicle of the "obsession " and " proclivity" of a people that are now playing the victim.
I have made a post on this before ... Nigeria: When the rain started beating us ..... and people just kept away, for obvious reasons. It is not that we do not know all these but anytime I see the insolence these guys spew on other folk I remember this narrative.
So Mr. MAn I dare you, rebuke the narrative or tellm us your own side of the story. Mouthing the usual dismissive cliches will not work.
QuotaSystem: I just discovered a startling irony on this thread.
Everyone really doesn't mind VP Osibanjo & thinks he is alright...yet he was head of the Economic Management Team, ably assisted by Godwin Emefiele as CBN Governor who's been receiving praises on his retirement thread...yet PMB is blamed for the economy because he is a 'dullard'.
President Buhari was indeed vindicated by his landslide victory.
Ooooooh, you should have waited till this thread reaches 5 pages.. Haba!!!!!
Did you also notice that Atiku is off the shelf? Just one week after O. Just one week.
3) Double handling of cargo increases cost and ultimate shelf price of goods,....Transit time, cargo consolidation bunker costs, agency fees, last mile delivery etc
4) Freight tariffs. shore handling tariffs,
I must admit that I have not laid my hands on the feasibility study. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me a link.
All the above, and more must be taken into consideration before even putting a dredger on the river.
alphaNomega: Nigerians have not seen anything yet, you know those African nations where their leaders have been in power since the 80's? Nigeria is poised to smash that record
After successfully forcing all of you to accept a body double as your president it shows how dumb the majority of Nigerians are.
APC will remain in power for the next 30 years and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Some of you reading this would have been dead by then
Ibrahimmrfish: If you and her are more educated than me.Both of you don't sound like you are.And for your information,i didn't vote for Buhari on this election.As for the people that voted him,it's their right to vote who ever they like,it is call democracy.And yes i was also a student of Islamic school and proud of it.I can read and write in Arabic,which is an advantage to me.The funny part of this all things is,for the people that claim to be educated,you guys are the ones doing all the insults.And as for my education,please point out a single university in Southeast that is better than A.B.U. The answer is there is not.This will be the last time i will respond to people that are too emotional.have a nice day,peace be upon you .(Salaam)
Adagworo: APC women and youth victory dinner was held yesterday inside the presidential villa. In any official government function, Muslims and Christians alike are fully represented as Nigeria is a secular state and not a Muslim country except there is something the present administration is not telling us.
This administration of Buhari has been accused severally from inception in 2015 that they have muslim agenda but they have consistently denied it. But immediately Buhari won his 2nd term in office, he has set out for full scale Islamisation drive to cover the enter Nigeria with Quran. He has started this out with this program where he recognised only Islamic opening prayer without considering that there are Christians in the same gathering. At least the wife of vice president Osibanjo was in the meeting and her husband is a pastor, Abike Dabire is equally a Christian among many other Christians there. WHY DID BUHARI ONLY RECOGNISED ISLAMIC PRAYER IN AN OFFICIAL STATE FUNCTION AS THIS?
You may say that this is an APC gathering, is it only muslims that are members of APC? Nigerian Christians should wake up from their slumber before you wake up to a Quran on your tables. Let us not talk about the entertainers in the program who were only Fulani traditional entertainers. There was nothing to show that it was that the said program is about NIGERIAN WOMEN AND YOUTH VICTORY DINNER because it was all about Hausa-Fulani muslim in entire outlook.
Watch from 1st to 5th minute to see what I am trying to convey here.
Buhari is an Islamic jihadist who should not have anything to do with public service. His sole aim of clinching power is to propagate Islamism, no wonder Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, are all waxing stronger in his administration.
