Igboid:
Look at the advantages:

1.We would have an income to start off the country with, thanks to our onshore oil Wells that Nigerians forgot to carve into Delta or Rivers State because those places were not oil producing as of 1970. It was God who fought for us.

2. With more intense exploration in Anambra: Ogbaru, Anambra East, Anambra West, Ayamelum and even Ihiala.
Abia: Ugwunagbo, Ukwa West, Ukwa West.
Imo: ,Oguta,Ohaji/Egbema we would discover more oil Wells to offset any deficit decrease in allocations we might temporary encounter.

3. With our vast undeveloped huge natural gas reserves in Imo, Anambra and Abia fully developed, our income and forex would quadruple.
Remember Natural gas being a green energy and not crude oil is the future.

4. A fully functional international airport. Our people being a well travelled people with embassies and consulates of all countries of the world opening branches in ENUGU our capital City. Our revenue generated can only go up.

5. A massive diaspora population who would send funds in Mass at home out of patriotism and work with the Igbo government to transfer skill back home, our ceiling should be very high.

6. Fulanis routed and sent out of our forests. We can leverage on first class diaspora experience and expertise to build a high tech agricultural system that would not only ensure food security for us, but also yield forex.

7. A rapid rise in real estate in Alaigbo to accommodate our people who would return home from across all parts of Nigeria.

Nwanne, there is no point in talking about this here, maka ndi anya ufu.[/I]

In any case [i]Chukwu ekwela ka we would have to depend on primary resources alone to build Alaigbo. Actually, the less we have the better, to better avoid another "resource curse" situation. We need to avoid another heterogeneous mish-mash cursed by a wasting resource by all means.

QuotaSystem:
N289 billion Non-oil revenue from Agriculture is much, much more than the N16.75 billion that the entire SE contributed to our oil revenue in 2020.

In fact the $240 million (N15.2b) that tanned leather from Fulani herdsmen and other northerners form the core north generated for Nigeria, is almost 10X the total SE contribution to oil revenue in 2020. Can you debate this? Lol.

You can keep shifting the goal post but the PARASITES have been clearly established and the best part of all this is....

Numbers Don't Lie

You should check your numbers again ( unless you’re obfuscating intentionally). The N982Bilion was for December,not the entire year. Meanwhile, you’re comparing this with FAAC allocation for the entire year.

I dof my hat to the sagacity of the Fulas. I listened to Malami's interview on Channels and I was wowed, not because he was saying the truth, but his conviction and manner of delivery is excellent on the per. Compared it to a southern politician defending a course, in the interest of the south and then you will see the difference.
Now, lets move a little bit closer home, ESN was formed to combat the killer herdsmen, these guys tactically withdrew, and laid a bait, which the tactless speaker fell for. Currently, the military is doing the job for them, with a shoot on sight order. We know how brutal those guys can get, especially when easterners are involved.

Few things I have noted about the Fulanis:
They hardly talk, but when they do, it's concise and precise on a carefully articulated agenda or objective
They are not noise makers, compare to southerners that are the loudest especially on social media.
They are strategic
They understand alliances and relationship, and how to court a beneficial one.
They understand the machinery of state and how to employ it to their advantage.
They have mastered the act of symbiotic integration, while maintaining their distinctiveness. I have seen a Fulani man, that is both fluent in Ezza and general Igbo language. It's no joke.
They also have a mastery of religion as a tool of political subjugation.
and so on and so on....

Honestly, their ability to conquer a large swat of land, in the medieval time, and still hold Nigeria at ransom, in this 21st century, is a witty brilliance that is worthy of study For these very summed reason, I give it to them, as the most brilliant race in Africa. What do you think?

[/b]

Don’t underestimate your adversary but at the same time don’t ascribe super powers to him. I can still remember that picture of Mumuharri crying profusely in 2011 after yet another failed election bid.

Where was the super intelligence then? Monkey smart, na because him dey inside bush.

I am beginning to suspect that this Yahaya Bello might make a good president.

Assuming Mumuharri isn’t able to complete the good work he is currently doing, I am sure that a Presidiot Yahaya Bello would be able to complete this enviable task.... of completing the disintegration of Nigeria.

I don’t understand all this nonsense about dementia, one would think that the man was some mental giant before now.

The so-called dementia as a sign of deteriorating health is hogwash. The man was always a mumu.

"becomes-incoherent"? Like he has ever being coherent before.

with all this nonsense about dementia, one would think that the man was some mental giant before now. The so-called dementia as a sign of deteriorating health is hogwash. The man was always a mumu.

Idiko1:
The young man named LIVINGSTONE WECHIE almost uncovered the what is Ikwerre. All the b[b]olded names were the founding fathers of Ohanaeze Ndigbo[/b].

Most likely the reason Oha na Nzuzu is a useless organization.

How can the same people who formed the socio-political organization of another ethnicity (Ogbakor Ihoriho or whatever) come and join you to form another organization for a totally different ethnic group and you agreed?

owobokiri:
But politics is not played like that bro..
Until they started their genocidal quest, many minorities of the north identified with the fuulani, including the majority Hausas. Many Western groups in the mould of the igboids of the east have been so subsumed to the Yorubas, you wouldn't even know they exist. You know why? Because it's both economically and politically rewarding. These two groups, the Yorubas and the fulanis, gambled with a war and managed to win trillions of dollars in oil and gas resources for their people and supporters.

It wasn't the case in the east. Infact, contrary to the gains of the minorities in the West and North, our bunch of wayward minorities suffered immensely. Adekunle killed many, Murtala finished all males he met at Asaba! They were left bare because of the results of that war and those who insisted to side with the Igbos, were hounded down to death like Obi Wali. It was brutal! We failed as a big brother and that to me is a big fail! Denying their igbo heritage in certain cases became a survival strategy. As disheartening as that is, most took such decisions because they were at the most vulnerable stage in their existence..

While it's obvious that this position has stiffened in some places now, like in ikwerre land, while also taking into cognizance the fact that the ikwerre committed crimes against humanity on the Igbos with the abandoned property saga, is it not better for the igbo to identify those "pro igbo elements" in these zone, and try to wrestle the political machinery of the south south left in the hands of "anti igbo characters" by the fuulani-yoruba combo, and hand over same back to the likes of the pro-east characters like the Obi Walis clan? Isn't that called politics? All these "slam the doors" talk is too emotional for practical politics if you ask me..

Stop the pity party! The war ended over half a century ago.

They have all made their position known and abundantly too. And we have heard and we will not forget. We freaking don't need any of them.

And they are unnecessarily expanding the theatre of their operations to the SE when they cannot even sustain the one in the North? This is coupled with dwindling revenues and rising debt obligations.

Later they will be begging US and UK for aid. It’s like they think those ones are deaf, dumb and amnesiac do-gooders.

I knew this contraption was going to unravel but I didn’t think it was going to be this rapid.

superjab247:
Pumps can be modified to shoot slug rounds which hit target at about 300 meters which is a considerable average open combat range,and pumps like the variant I posted about having detachable box magazines,and also modified to fire slugs combined with its banging noise, can send chill into the hearts of kidnappers if handled by a brave and competent shooter.

300 meters with a smooth bore gun?

Dong2:
Most attack by these terrorists are close contact fight not long range

Like the other guy said, range and accuracy are key cons here due to the lack of rifling. This is more suitable for home defence rather than a situation where you need to engage in the open from a distance.

Asgard73:
Op God bless you..

You know this people too well.

Make god bless craseman? Your eye clear so?

Igboid:
Lol!
What about Igbos in Ghana, USA,Kenya, Mozambique, Uganda, etc?
Should we join those countries to Nigeria too because Igbos are there?
You are irrational.

So to prove Igbos are Nigerians now, Igbos have to leave all countries outside Nigeria and come back to Nigeria?

Do you not see that you are not reasoning like a human being.

When people live in a place or foreign land, they are there to Making a living, pursue a career or business, and not because they want that place to be United with their homeland in an unworkable union.

Grow up. When some one say they don't want to be with you, it doesn't mean they hate you. It just means they don't consider you compatible with them. Same is applicable between Ndiigbo and Nigeria.

Don’t mind the gold plated itiboribo.

He claims to be afrocentric but his genetic colo-mentality makes him think that Africans shouldn’t have the freedom to form their own nations.

That is why in 2021 he still uses the derogatory word “tribe” to describe very large modern ethnic groups.

Lazycapitalist2:
We should have state police, if the people are ready to pay the high taxes needed to fund such police.

Knowing Nigerians...

Here in the SE, we already pay vigilante groups who can’t legally get better weapons or arrest people. And even at that they are more effective than the police. So paying isn’t a problem.

We just need law enforcement that is locally accountable.

Lazycapitalist2:
That's how it started in the NE....the Law enforcement was chased off, and the thugs...took over, and the people rejoiced...thinking somehting new was happening....until the thugs came for their food and their children and their wives...

The same thing is happening in the SE....the thugs have taken over, and everyone is happy. Till the thugs institute thug law....

Yes, the Police and Army have been unjust....but the new powerbrokers are going to be worse.

The main issue is that in Nigeria we are all looking for a hero that would come and put things in place...forgetting that democracy is all about doing the hard work of changing your self and your leaders.

But Nigerians prefer to look for a hero, or for Sharia in the North, or for new country in the South, yet, they won't do the hard work of demcracy. They won't vote good leaders, they support bad leaders, and mock those who refuse to be part of the chosing of bad leaders.

And they expect miracles.

Well, I don't like the police...but driving them off means inviting the rule of thug. And that is a harsh lesson people in the NE are learning. Pray the SE don't have to learn that lesson.

P.S The Bakassi Boys were initally the good guys. We know how that ended....innocent people being held in concentration-like camps. For nothing.

You make a good point about possibly bad outcomes. However you solution is rather unrealistic.

Police is not controlled by the states, so electing “better people” is not going to do anything.

Actually there was a story about a former Governor of Anambra State, Mbadinuju who made vigorous efforts to stop these extortion centres. The police big wigs countered his efforts by mounting a check point almost right in front of the Government House.

It should be a no brainer that policing should be decentralized in a country as vast and diverse as this one. We shouldn’t just have state police but also LGA and municipal police.

Jollylolly:
Thank You Star Boi. the nation is facing fresh security challenge right now and we need to stay strong because there is light at the end of the tunnel.

That light you’re seeing at the end of the tunnel is a fast approaching train. You had better get out of the way before it crushes you.

These people are doing a competition to see who will make the most stupid statement.

First, Garbage Shiewu will say something daft, then Adesina will counter and the Liar Mohammed will just top them. They’re just using us to play.

mekaboy:
And if it happens. Kanu will be in UK ranting as usual while igbos suffer.

There is nothing absolutely wrong with executing a career criminal like Hopeless Ozodimgba.

However, my only problem with IPOB is trying to solve Nigeria’s problems using Igbo blood. Everyone is in exactly the same sh1t whether they want to admit it or not. We have bled enough for this hell hole. The worst thing is that other groups will just reward the sacrifices with insults.

Rossinkup:
Mr LOW IQ with a big fat loud mouth and empty head, how does Nigeria ''rank bottom globally in access to electricity'' when her access to electricity is 57%, meaning she supplies 125 million people electricity, far more people than any other country in Africa?

What will you say about Burundi, whose access to electricity is 11%?

Or Burkina faso - 14%

Or Chad - 11.8%

Or Niger -17.6%

Or Malawi -18%

Or Congo - 19%

Or Liberia - 25%

Or Madagascar - 25%

Or Sierra Leone - 26%

Or Guinea-Bissau - 28%

Ot Mozambique - 31%

Or Rwanda - 34%

Or Somalia - 35%

Or Tanzania - 35.6%

Or Uganda - 42%

Or Zambia - 39%

Or Zimbabwe - 41%

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS

In fact, why does one even bother educating you ignorant school dropouts on Nairaland drowning in EMPTY HEADEDNESS AND SELF HATRED?

YOU ARE A COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE OF TIME.

Is this not how somebody from Malawi or Congo, with their 18% access to electricity, can come in here and insult and spit on you people, and tell you you have no power supply in Nigeria, and you will shut up, because you, a parade of dunces and dullards, actually believe your country is the worst in everything on earth?

Useless cursed people.

Lol. Looks like we touched a nerve here. Someone is sensitive about their cognitive abilities (or more likely disabilities).

Back to the matter. Unless you’re one of those shills who live elsewhere while promoting Nigeria, can you remember when last you had 24 hours supply of public power?

It is like getting 1000 people to share a single loaf of bread and then start shouting about how you’re feeding a thousand people. That is just like your phantom 57% figure.

This “One Nigeria” thing is a brain sucking disease.

You no get power. At all, all! Actually, your country ranks right at the bottom globally regarding access to electricity but you’re prioritizing developing an electric car. Next thing is develop snowmobiles? And someone is celebrating it?

Do you actually have to be a mumu to defend Mumugeria? I know it helps to be delusional to defend the indefensible but Is being an actual olodo, itiboribo also a necessary part of the tool kit?

GodHatesBigots:
Nobody wants war, but let me ask you, is peace without justice true peace ? Is it better to be a slave with a fragile peace than a freedom fighter fighting for true peace.

Remember the Black Lives Matter slogan - no justice no peace .

However I have always said IPOB should not attack the military except in self defence.

Thanks

I can't understand how imbeciles keep bleating about peace as it is some magic incantation. Hopeless Ozodimgba clearly lost an election, then connived with some terrorists to snatch the governor's seat all the way from the 4th position.

One will think that he will use his term to win the people over to his side. No! He sent brutish thugs in military uniform to invade Orlu and environs, the very same people he 'misrepresented' in the senate for 2 terms. That bastard deserves to be impaled and then disemboweled.

These Yoruba and Igbo, Na war for una oh.

Even when una agree, una go still fight.

afube:
a





you made valid points but you almost ruined your presentation by your 2-bit demagogue allusion to MNK, Oga Kanu is not a 2 for a penny agitator, He si probably the most consequential Igbo leader since Ojukwu himself..........A man that has been pursuing the goal of restoration of Biafra since 1995 is no featherweight. You may not like his brash style but there is no doubt that Kanu deeply loves his people.........if he were in it for the money am sure ipob would have died years ago.


those of you who oppose IPOB should do well to throw their hat into the ring and profer solution to the marginalization of Ndigbo and the issue of killer herdsmen is a present danger.........what is your own solution?

The original elders led IPOB had a better idea. Just provide self-government right down to the grassroots.

ScamHunter:
Your analysis is very correct, I watched a video a couple of days ago where Nnamdi Kanu was asking IWC to raise money for guns. These guys refused saying "Are we going to war?" That was in 2015 so these Igbo overseas did not see a need to raise money to fight a war. But with the Fulani massacres in Enugu and Ebonyi, you could imagine how the FG played into the hands of IPOB which didn';t have the full backing of IWC initially? Igbo all over the world are now aware of the existential threat posed by Fulani, especially when there were no serious condemnation of the massacres and nothing is done to prevent future occurrence.

The SE governors are the worst leaders in our history. We have never had it this bad. I am still trying to understand how a set of leaders can be so beholden to outside interests and oblivious to the needs and aspirations of their own people. It is really painful.

They created this power vacuum. Even before all the brouhaha about Herdsmen, the issue of security agents conducting themselves like an occupation force in the SE has been an ongoing one.

In some cases you can literally (no exaggeration) sight on checkpoint from the previous one. NDLEA, Customs(we don’t even have an international border), Army, RRS, Civil Defence, Mopol, Police and so many more.

We have been complaining about these imbeciIes for years. Yet our so called leaders have done nothing about the persistent harassment, intimidation and sometimes outright murder.

When a situation becomes this intolerable then something has to give. You just provide a fertile ground for radicalization which any two bit demagogue can exploit. This has been the case throughout history, across climes and times.

These governor idi0ts have been relying on scare tactics and the brutish Nigerian army for so long that they didn’t realize that there was a limit to even fear itself. How can you even call yourself a leader when you have to use an external force to suppress your own people?

Previously, I blamed people supporting the ESN. However, not withstanding my reservations towards the parent organization, it is clear that our people have been patient for far too long.

The moral of this thread is that women should lie about their past.

If I had a daughter , I will advise her that no matter how the love is shacking her, do not confide in any Nigerian man. Too insecure.

Krismas:
Pls educate me. I tot devaluation was only advantageous in an export-driven economy? Why all these devaluation?

They are obviously running out of FOREX to continue defending the Naira. Devaluation helps reduce the pressure a bit but eventually the respite will be only temporary.

afonjaheadhunts:
It is like your brain is upside down, or your brain have finally crashed after failing to comprehend my post better read again slowly this time with your phone upside down cause I can see your brain has capsized olodo.

I have told you people to beg Barcanista to come back because you people are to dumb to understand your history let alone execute your expansionist agenda you better serve your Ndoki master well they might be kind enough to send you on vacation to Aba to see their mainland Igbo brothers.

I have established that you have no hope of making heaven with all this bad mouth.

Abeg make una leave Izon people, I get Ijaw relatives, abeg.

I am sure when folks were jumping into life boats to save themselves from the rapidly sinking Titanic, some “smart patriot” was warning them about the futility of leaving a big, strong beautiful ship to risk their lives in some flimsy boats.

At least, some lucky fish got his dinner. Every thing has a purpose.
