ChimaAdeoye: To begin with, I neither trust nor give too much significance to the dubious data from Nigerian Bureau statistics. No single academician in the world takes data coming out of Nigeria seriously. Everyone in the world knows Nigeria is painfully notorious for data falsification and forgery for political expediency. So, trust Nigerian data at your peril.
Some people have set their evil eyes on Ebonyi politically and have an evil agenda for the state. The recent Ebonyi mall thread clearly shows how bitter and determined they are to employ propaganda against Ebonyi people as part of their wicked strategy against Ndigbo. Truth be told, many Nigerians especially those from the other two big ethnic groups would rather see the southeast as an undeveloped and backward jungle. Many of them actually agonize that despite the marginalization of southeast Nigeria in every possible way, the region has managed to continue to survive and develop! The Op forgot to post that Umahi built the largest and most modern market in Nigeria in the last 50 years! He has offered A LOT of initiatives to bring back Ebonyi youths from cities such as Lagos and help them establish businesses in the state with soft loans.
The truth is that Ebonyi needs world-class infrastructure if it must achieve its destiny as a great state. Part of the art of attracting people to come to Abakaliki set up a business in Abakaliki, and live your fullest life in Abakaliki involves building modern facilities they could have found elsewhere.
When Abuja was being built, there was still massive poverty in Nigeria! Yet, nobody argued that building Abuja rather than giving more money to Nigerians to alleviate poverty was a bad strategy. Abuja was once a barren forest and modern infrastructure was built there with the hope that one day it will have everything which was present in Lagos, thus people will go there to live and start a business. That is exactly what Gov. Dave Umahi is doing in Abakaliki.
There is no need for all these. Umahi is the worst governor in the SE, bare none.
Ebonyi has the highest number of out of school children in the south but the fat fool is wasting scarce resources littering the environment with pink, purple and white elephants.
Do you think that if MI Okpara and others were similarly clueless you would be able to come to the internet and talk about how “ despite the marginalization of southeast Nigeria in every possible way, the region has managed to continue to survive and develop“?
It’s even obvious that author of the article is from the SE. There is no shame in speaking the truth even if some others want to pretend.
GROUNDCHALEBOY: i have been dating this girl for a year now,suddenly she change and stop picking my calls or calling me.i asked her the problem but she said am still planning my life that i cant provide her needs,to be sincere i love this lady and i have tried my best in providing for her,please nairalanders what should i do?
That girl didn’t leave because you’re broke. She left because your d1ck game is wack.
If you shagged her well, she will even date rich guys and share their loot with you.
You sef reason am, naa. Didn’t she know you were broke before agreeing to date you? No just deceive yourself.
GreatChizzy: What is so difficult for IPOB as a body to reach out to these non-Igbo groups in proper consultations and coming out with well written MoU and Treaties that would be binding by International laws?
I may be born in the night but definitely not last night. IPOB downplayment of Treaties and Consultations with the non-Igbo community thus annaxed in the Biafran map, is a major red flag and I dare alleged that it forms part of the reasons the struggle hasn't gotten the momentum necessary for an International action.
Without documented Treaties; there are sections of the People and Authorities IPOB cannot influence into the Struggle.
While I am of the opinion that every ethnicity should work out their own salvation (with fear and trembling), I have to wonder if you guys are deliberately throwing a red herring here by the consistent focus on IPOB.
Is it possible that you guys are actually forgetting that there is another organization called the Lower Niger Congress. (LNC)? LNC has been a lot more deliberate in her approach and has actually addressed the issues you guys seem to raise consistently.
This just shows that most of denizens of this colonial prison camp are not ready for freedom. As it is now I am now against any group that is attempting to use Igbo blood, sweat and tears to again try to solve what affects everyone. Let us continue with this colonial prison camp until we all get some sense. This is freaking insane!
Amarabae: is that why your girls are house helps all over Igboland? is that why we have many ekaettes serving their Igbo madam? I even once had an akwa ibom house help! so shut up, Igbos are naturally your superiors both in achievements,wealthiness, academics etc , even the small economic activities going on in that your witchcraftt coven of a state are spearheaded by Igbos . bunch of okons who are littered all over Igboland looking for a toilet suckeraway to pipe out! btw see ya!
Madam,
How’re you different from that idiat you quoted?
Just because of one misguided animal, you insult millions of people who did nothing wrong to you.
gidgiddy: Would we be here talking about Biafra if it were not for Kanu and IPOB? Probably not. Who raised the Biafran issue to the level of consciousness it has become in the minds of people.
Those who are criticising Kanu and IPOB are those who wish they were out of the way so that nobody would even remember or be talking about Biafra.
Kindly chill on the hyperbole. MASSOB was there long before IPOB.
Like I said, he has only Mumuharri’s incompetence and general mumuness to thank for his popularity.
gidgiddy: Funny enough, people like you have no solution to IPOB except to criticise IPOB. The situation the Igbo nation finds its self is that to move foward, one of two things must happen. It is either that Nigeria restructured and power is devolved down to people to control their land and resources or the disintegration of Nigeria
Anyone talking about anything outside these two things is just making noise. The only people that are remotely doing anything that will bring about restructuring or disintegration is IPOB. Yet some people are criticising IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu even though there is nothing else on the ground except them
What exactly is IPOB doing? He has been asked this question at various times but all we get is evasion.
IPOB is doing fvck all. Mumuharri just made him popular. And he has been milking that popularity to feather his nest.
johnmartus: [s]My name is Kamsiyochukwu I was born and raised in Isiala Ngwa Abia state. Please kindly ignore this Anambra man that talking this nonsense[/s].
If you understood Igbo, then you would have known that Kamsiyochukwu can never be a Ngwa name.
This Fa-crook Kperogi guy is beginning to sound so much like a jilted lover.
I can remember when this love affair was at it’s peak (about 2014/2015), it was sweetness and light, how Mumuharri was poised to usher in a new dawn and how his integrity and copious body odour was going to set everything wrong with Nigeria alright.
We told them that the slowpoke was not an unknown quantity. He had previous chances to serve his country and these had ended in disaster. They accused us of every evil under the sky.
Now the slug is acting true to type and they are behaving like no one could have foreseen it.
At least Kperogi admits he was stupid for worshipping a vacuous hypocrite for so long. However, I think all this talk about dementia is still one more cop out. Mumuharri doesn’t have any dementia. It is just his normal Mumu way of behaving.
His refusal to address the country is also just his normal laziness, that is why he always has an Idiagbon or a Kyari to do the actual work required for any of the big positions he pretends to.
The name of this country should be changed to Mumugeria because it’s just an endless store of Mumus.
What freaking difference does it make who becomes the captain of your football team when the rules are unfair and both goal posts are on the same side?
I can’t believe that Mumus haven’t realized that with the current constitution and structure, the shytehole is irredeemable.
24SEVEN: Anyone who has read the whole write-up should be commended.
I didn't read oh. People who read should summarize.
It’s obvious that some clown tried to edit the original piece to colour it with their own sillier biases. This only served to reduce readability and muddy the original message.
EternalBeing: HalleluYAH! May be the demonic dog's lust spirit programming was not just targeted at ripping good things off my life alone, maybe many other guys in the environment were been spiritually robbed and enslaved simultaneously as the demonic sound waves of the strange barking reaches them. Only GOD ALMIGHTY knows how many glorious Destinies would have been wasted in that neighbourhood if I didn't exercise my little faith and pray. Their own nature is to destroy, our own nature is to be used by the CREATOR to save. Are you doing your own part where you live, do say know you as ambassador of HIS Kingdom? If Christians selfishly myopically refuse to rise up, God will never be happy with us. You think you don't have spiritual power? You think your talent is too small? Remember that servant that buried his talent in Matthew 25:26, please don't be like him.
Guy,
Forget all this prayer and fasting. Na simple konji dey cause your problem. Find one better olosho kpanch make wet dream pick race for your life.
However, if you actually believe all these fairy tales about witches and demons, I’ll suggest that you visit a psychiatrist before your psychosis become more debilitating.
Purehuman: If only igbo governors can donate 1billion dollars each every year for scholarship. This scholarship will be registered under the German government and make it easier for igbo graduates to get masters degree free from German universities.
That move alone can push 1,000 students yearly into Germany for masters degree and in turn 4000 in 4years.
In due time, we would have developed thousands of experts that will in turn return that money back into the system.
If the governors spent this same billion dollars to establish dedicated post graduate colleges in Alaigbo while collaborating with these same foreign universities by exchanging lecturers and doing joint research, how many more people do you think will be trained?
I understand that the virus is rather sensitive to warmer temperatures. People are actually expecting infections to significantly abate by summer.
This also means that Nigeria is likely to escape this scourge. However, this does not rule out the OP’s apocalyptic vision because we have evolving issues right now that a geometrically more dangerous than COVID19.
Rossinnki: An African is a monkey to a brainwashed slave.
We understand..
So according to your logic, ethnicity was invented by the colonialists and is therefore evil and “unAfrican” (whatever that means) but Nigeria itself which was conceived, midwifed, birthed and even suckled by these same colonialists is somehow the embodiment of African virtues and good.
Somehow, according to your reasoning (to stretch the meaning of that term) a poisonous tree can produce both good and bad fruits.
Just stay where you are,Kamalu has an important message for you.
BMaretraitors: How is this a racist post? I have basic standards that i expect from men, how is that discriminatory if some cannot meet them.
You should just kill yourself. That way, you permanently avoid marrying a black man (even by accident) and you remove your mumuness from the human gene pool.
