HopeAtHand: Pls barman, give dis guy a bottle of Jack Daniels...
If i did not like You before, i like you now.
I pray you become president of biafra or Nigeria (depends on whichever you prefer).
Pazienza et al, should learn from you.
My parents told how Ikwerres were put into trucks and transported from Ikwerreland into Igbo hinterlands and Igbos brought from there to replace them...Ikwerres who did not support biafra were buried alive..and other atrocities.
Igbos should walk their walk and leave ethnicities who are bitter towards them alone..Please keep your brotherhood.
You and your Parents will experience the same fate you just said IGbos did on Ikwerres, You bloody liar. Those your Parents should be locked up in a mental home. Ikwerre started having problem with us after the war when they chose the brits over their own brothers.
Curlieweed: I don't support a Biafra with even a single non-Igbo ethnic group. It's not fair to them and it won't be fair to us. Actually, it will just be a smaller version of Nigeria but the recriminations will be more bitter.
Going to the Gowon story, what happened, afterwards? Since, the mid-eighties, it has been one crises after the other between the majority Hausa/Fulani and the smaller groups. They have possibly lost more people in these crises than we lost in the pre-civil war progroms (especially when you add the BH carnage). Orkar's coup should clue you to the truth.
I don't think these multi-ethnic states can work equitably. One ethnic group has to dominate the state. If you check every successful nation state, one ethnic group has been dominant. The Han in China, the English in the UK, the Russians in the Soviet Union and the WASPs in the USA. Since, I wouldn't want to be dominated and have my culture become extinct, I wouldn't wish that on another group.
Every group should be independent. You have countries in Europe like Liechtenstein with a population of 50,000 (that's probably less than the population of my hometown,Nkwerre). Yet, they are thriving and even wealthy to boot.
People like you need education, Lucky Dube said Education is the key, look bro you are in darkness you are in a spiritual and mental darkness, go and enlighten yourself, I wanted to insult you at first but thank God I allowed my anger to cool before replying you. This same useless fear is the reason Niger delta betrayed Biafra and what happened after everything? Is the Niger delta Dubai? Hahahaha, In the next 100,000,000 years She will continue to be like this, as far as you people do not reject that sword that was put between you and your own blood brothers, removing that sword is painful, blood will gush out with it, but when the injury heals, you will be free! What I mean is the process of rejecting that distrust and enmity between SS and SE will not be easy, but with sincerity and dialogue we will MUST overcome! BTW ever before the white man came was there ever a story of Igbos trying to dominate others? Then, why now? Okay,and you know very well how these enemies of ours are good in re-witting history so if such things existed before them they would have made a huge propaganda out of it. Be wise.
Maxcollins042: Nigeria wholly is a sick nation but the incorporation of Buhari (who stands for a change) into office will surely thicken the hopes of the populace of the nation,change takes time i believe this outgoing government are just doing everything to make things difficult for the incoming government.
datone: Former minister of Defence, Lt.General Theophilus Y. Danjuma (retd) has said that Christians of northern extraction were always targets of disgrace and humiliation out of public offices for just no cause.
General Danjuma spoke yesterday that Christians from the northern region have passed through delirious times politically, socially and economically, adding that the way forward was for the people to unite and speak in one voice to achieve progress and development in the zone.
The former Defence Minister who was honoured with an award by the seminary for his contribution to the growth and expansion of missionary works, called on the graduating students to be of good character and Ambassadors of peace wherever they may dind themselves.
Danjuma said, “This is not the best of times for Christians in the north, they have passed through delirious times in the last 16 years of our democratic process.
“Northern Christians are the most humiliated and undermined in the affairs of the country. We should not feel inferior, but superior so that we can take our rightful position in the kingdom of Nigeria since we are already in control of the kingdom of the church.
“We must therefore unite and speak with one voice, we must not shy away from our responsibility as Christians, and we must preach peace and speak the truth.
BuddahMonk: Let me tell you, if you know the number of illegal refineries here in East you will shock.
That Island inbetween Anambra and Delta is home to hundreds of illegal refineries, I was there in January with speedbaot to see a pal who is running his own DIY refining business.
But the fuel is not always good for vehicle caburators but people use it to power generators.
where do yo find cars with carburators in the East, it is now injectors
Caseless: I doubt their assessment. Under obj , we were told $16 billion was spent on power to increase darkness(at least we know what the money was spent on). And twice that amount disappeared under gej with no trace. Gej is the worst in Nigeria's history.
A fool will remain a fool forever In other news GEJ has uprooted the WHOLE Aso Rock and is transporting it on his head as he heads back to Bayelsa. Fool, say yes sir Supidity is 5tupid
useless man I read everything but found no solution to the economic problems of the Zoo the solution is this Nigerians should quit running away from their demons and run to them instead and thereby conquere them. He said nothing about True federalism which is the only solution to the problems, He used to make a lot of noise about SNC but now is the time to organize the one he thinks is the best and implement the resolutions reached. it is very simple, precise and clear even to the common man anyway common sense is the only thing that is not common in the Zoo
useless jokers how do you solve a problem? By loping off one or two branches and leaving the trunk and the roots intact? nonsense. The zoo must continue to be a zoological republic populated by dogs and baboons until you people deceide to make common sense common. Common sense tells me that the corruption, unemployment etc are rooted into the fact that the country is very divided, just like tree branches it will grow again, Buhari fought corruption in his days as a dictator but it came nack as soon as he was kicked out if you want to terminate corruption you must embrace true federalism what happens to the LG funds, what happens to the allocations state governors receive? they are all stashed away a good example is osun and Lagos, two Apc states, one has not paid salaries since God knows when the other is the most corrupt state in the federation and Edo whos governor goes about sleeping witj and marrying foreign harlots and wenches. Una never start
Mogidi: They control the press thats why we read these half baked news peppered with lies and half truths. The only people stealing Oil are the northerners who were wrongly given licenses to steal resources they have no claims on.
exactly! And what exacly do they want buhari to do, to take it from their people and give it to the Niger deltans? that is impossible, those people are heartless thieves.
SOUNDKING: bro,1966 is far gone, tell me what gej winning election in 2011 has to do with Igbos but they were the primary target of the riot in the north,tell me what concerns the name Jimi with Igbo name,but the Igbos recieved all the threat of life in lagos, may amadioha punish any igbo man saying one nigeria.
I was talking about the topic, but what you said, is the truth
superstar1: How many days does it take to court martial coup plotters? They were being detained in prisons in Eastern Region, where it was recorded those guys leave the prison at will for partying.
It must definitely be a day-prison facility.
Gideon Orkar and his boys were executed under how many days? Vatsa was sentenced under how many days? Dimka was arraigned and sentenced under how many days. The prosecution of soldiers that led the mutiny in Bornu and refused to fight the BH war took how many months to be completed?
Ironsi had 6months to serve justice and he never did.
I cannot authoritatively state that they acted on behalf Igbo nation, but some facts are on ground that gave credence to it.
It was coup that was led by majorly Igbo officers. Fact.
It was a coup that the none of political gladiators of Igbo extraction was not killed. Fact.
It was also a known fact that just one Igbo officer was killed, which was out of vendetta. Fact.
The beneficiary of the coup was an igbo officer. Fact.
Regional powers were cancelled and power was centralised just for igbo to "dominate" others, like they used to say. Not a fact but is well founded.
Laziness is truly a very,very bad habit very difficult to drop. When did an Igbo man tell you he wanted to dominate everybody, Right from childhood my parents always sing it like sond to me never to depend on anybody, of course I can depend on sombody but it has to have a LIMIT, So I have been working hard since then and now I am self reliant and I am my own boss, look, that is our culture, when you are good in what you do you will be well known, and for you to be good, you have to work your a55 off, at that time, tell me even one Igbo man that got to a certain position without merit and hard work, if I go into a labour camp and do the job well more than every other person that were there before me, I make less mistakes, I finish my work before them, it just a matter of time I become the leader of the camp, even if I don't want to, because others will always consult you and ask for guidance when they hit a brick wall,that is how you become the leader of that camp. The Bible says that if you are good in your job or business you will dine with kings. So it is just natural. Now let us look at it this way, Igbos dominated, but Nigeria was the wonder of the third world then, a position China proudly occupies right now, and we were on course to become a first world country, But now, look at Nigeria, she has become a mighty prison, a zoo occupied by monkeys and baboons, the shame of the black man, and truly I say to you my friend, she shall continue to be so until you make common sense common. Only fools put their trust in Buhari!
One question that I always ask these brutes is this, Did Nzeogwu and his colleagues go to my grandfather or great granddad that He and his friends were about to do a coup d'Etat? Now did the killing of Mr. Bello and Mr. Balewa warrant the brutal massacre of MORE THAN THIRTY THOUSAND people, even CHILDREN who at best had no iota of idea of what just happened and were busy make ends meet? I need an Honest answer to these questions. If you truly wanted to avenge the deaths of those trouble makers (clearly they were not nationalists, they were tribal warriors, and I spit on them, spit on Ojukwu if you so wish, it is you mouth) you would have gone for their killers! not innocent women and kids, to show how inhumane Yoruba and their masters are. Well, I know very well that it has not always been like this, this inhumanity was learned by you guys from the Brits, which we all know carried on exactly were the Romans left, almost all British customs we see today have connections to ancient Rome, so I am not surprised. How on earth can anybody justify the massacre of women and kids? What do they have to do with the coup?
semitunde: If the bolded is true, then igbos don't have any propert
If you sell your property that thing or property or whatever it no longer belongs to you, why because you sold it and collected the money. Why didn't you lease it so that the land or building still belongs to you? greedy bastards always waiting for a mugu you will defraud. BTW the oil you now claim to belong to you, when did Nigeria buy those lands? or didn't you take it by force and killed the people you deceived after it dawned on them that they have been scamed? ole buruku onye ohi na ama. Quel grand voleur, espèce de bandit que vous ette chien
seunmsg: Nigeria and her resources belongs to all of us irrespective of the region hosting the resources. We must collectively benefit from it whether Lagos or Niger Delta.
then why should fellow Nigerians who live in Lagos be told day in day out to honor and worship their "hosts"?
tupem: you condemn Nigeria that it was enforced by the whites, then you hinge your quest for self determination on a paper the whites wrote just thinking out loud!
you see how foolish you are, When Nigeria signed it, where they being teleguided? Just as Gowon after signing an agreement without pressure in Aburi, Ghana, only to come home and deny he did not sign it, and turn round and blame Ojukwu for the genocide, where as he was being used by the British empire to wreak havoc on fellow Africans.
seunmsg: You are just as greedy as Ojukwu. So you want the SS to listen to you igbos so that you can dominate and devour the oil in the region right? You have a problem with Nigerians benefiting from the resources in their country but want the same resources to serve only an Igbo dominated Biafra. The hypocrisy of some of you stinks to high heaven. See, Nigeria has come to stay and nothing will ever change that fact. The earlier we all learn to seek for the collective prosperity of every state and region, the better for all of us.
Okay, let check facts What happend to ISAAC Boro, ken Saro Wiwa and all other people who betrayed Biafra? What about that useless man called Nwaobodo? now he is about to be kicked out of his house because he has no money. What happend to Niger Delta after they helped Nigeria and conquered Biafra? You don't betray yourself and go free, The Niger Delta man has ABSOLUTELY nothing to fear when it come to Igbos. look Nigeria is a ZOO and will continue to be a ZOO, the shame of the black man, till you decide to make common sense common.
lanreabbey: Just Laughing likea chicken ,,,,Biafra or no Biafra,,,,,Nigeria will stand....sum Igbos are fools,, ,what ur papa start wey dem no fit finish
let thunder strike your head their why am I even giving this 1diot my time?
seunmsg: Good move. Nigeria and every resources in it belongs to every Nigerians. Benefiting from our nations God giving resources should not be restricted to a particular region. We should all encourage collective prosperity of all citizens and regions.
STFU what does your region contribute to the treasury? Nothing, You want to reap where you did not sow, any ways if the Niger delta Had LISTENED to OJUKWU, they would not have been in this mess. They instead chose lies and misinformation from the north and now they are the ones suffering the most in this God forsaken country. All real Igbo people believe that what is on or in the land belongs to the OWNER or OWNERS of the land and if they want to share it is on the OWNER's terms.
Yeske2: My fellow Ndi Anambra in as much as we know people loathe us for
onye ajuru aju anaghi aju onwe ya. they hate and describe us as the Romans described their neighbors but we will continue to show why we are greate and we will continue to attract FDI and development
HungerBAD: I am from the South/South and was born and bred in the West.
No Yoruba person has ever tried to Cheat/Con/Scam me all my life, but anytime I come across an Ibo Man they are always looking for ways to play a fast one on you.
One just tried to sale me a fake property here on Nairaland(more on that later)STAY CLEAR OF ANY IBO MAN ON NAIRALAND PROPERTY SECTION.
The OP got it wrong when he mentioned the Yoruba's only, as the rightful topic should have been WHY DO NIGERIAN'S DISTRUST THE IBO PEOPLE TOO MUCH? and the answer lies within the ibo's themselves. They should look inward and TRY to look and embrace the definition of HONESTY HONESTY HONESTY.
You cannot give a THIEF your money to keep for you and that is why an IBO MAN will never be the President of a ONE NIGERIA, they are criminals and that includes their preachers.
I will take sides with the Yoruba's and Hausa's any day against the IBO'S as I don't see myself associating with Ritualists, thieves, illiterates, petty traders and very dishonest bunch. The Reason the Ibo's lost the Civil war was that the South refused to side with them, as they had eyes for OUR OIL ALONE, just imagine all the Southern OIL controlled by one or two illiterates from Nnewi. That would have been painful.
I will bash the IBO RACE online, I will Bash the IBO RACE in person.
JUST ONE IS ALL I ASK OF, JUST SHOW ME ONE HONEST PERSON FROM THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA.
Is it not an insult that you cannot even find ONE honest person in a tribe?
look at offemmannu trying to claim south south, where in the south south are you from, is it ijaw or ogoni or kalabari etc? fvucking offemmannu bastard BTW watch this video and reply you dumb a55
