MalcoImX:
Are you serious at all? Why would the Arewa Youths go to war with the federal government? Is it the FG that is beating the drums of war? Arewa is not that senseless. We are not troublemakers like iPods.

I don't understand you...Read the topic again...and read my response again...

freshest4live:
I'm not in support of such killings, what is laughable is how the lpob sees the U.S as the solution to their problems, lol. There are other ways to handle this internally first as a major tribe rather than making the U.S your big uncle.
Why give the Hausa/Fulani so much power for god's sake? Why are there no lgbo leaders protesting these killings first in a Nigerian court and at worse to the A.U, why must the U.S be involved?

...because the leaders are weak and only work for their pockets...That's why the people believe more in IPOB....

freshest4live:
Lolz, you guys are comedians.

The day armed robbers will visit you home and destroy you and your family the same way the soldiers are killing this unarmed people...You will be tagged a comedian..That day will not be long...As you mock people whose only crime was asking for self determination...

GMBuhari:
So them go leave their own country / home / work come attend to una here?



Anything is possible sha since even Trump visited Nnamdi

Everything is possible...Are you surprised that the army no longer shoot at the agitators...See this pic at recent rally at Ekwulobia, Anambra. The army were neutral...

This youths are not sensible...If there is no referendum...as required by IPOB, why would they go to war with Igbos? Why not the federal government that have refused to agree for a referendum?

intruxive:
Up untill 2yrs ago igbo was not maginalized abi. It all started when buhari became president now u want your country + oil rich niger delta. Dunce, and u to think you lots actually believe this BS is amusing

You are not in this country, bro..Igbos have always been marginalized since after the war...BZM leader and their members were arrested and jailed by Johnathan....Buhari only aggravated the situation...Buhari and others recognized these concerns...It is a shame that you don't...Now you know...Next>>>

intruxive:
"Igbo’s arrogant attitude of continuing affront on the peace of Nigeria, spewing hatred and heaping insults on others and expecting everyone else to stoop condescendingly to this brazen affront.

“The incessant threat, insult, violence and open call for war on all other tribes and regions that has become the hallmark of IPOB’s Biafran agitation based on fake and exaggerated claims of marginalization, is, to put it mildly, offensively provocative.
“No reasonable standard allows a people to defer with the universally recognized path of civility and opt for violent campaigns and hate summons on a mere perception of marginalization anywhere in the world."

This is the genesis and revelation of igbos predicament

Crazy liar...Don't try to cover your born to rule mentality...Even your Buhari thinks differently...See>>>>

“This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence" Buhari

Nigeria would have been at peace if they had listened to these two leaders...Forcing people to be one will do nobody any good...It can provide food for the belly, but can't move any group of people to fulfill their destinies...

“If for any reason a referendum cannot be held for the moment, we insist the Igbo both in the Southeast and in other parts of Nigeria be made to discard totally any idea of Biafra and to show practical actions to prove that they believe in one Nigeria..." Northern youths
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you call them almajiri, people would begin to wonder....How else do you want the Igbos to show that believe in one Nigeria more than you born to rule misfits...than the fact that Igbos took the risks to have investments in every part of your One Nigeria where they live....No other tribe who shout One Nigeria from morning till night...can claim to be good hearted like the Igbos in this regard...What do the Igbos get in return? What other proves do these illiterates want?

Can somebody forward this to king of lies, Lair Mohammed, the old bitch Ms Onochie, the fake pastor Adeshina and former commissioner, co-ordinator, to Mallam Shehu the almajiri spokesman and other hypocritical government charlatans, where ever they may be...These people don't know about what goes around, comes around!

"The roads in the region will be fixed, the second Niger Bridge will be done, everything, infrastructure, positions, offices, all that the centre needs to do for the region, the south east region will get its own fair share. Thank you very much God be with you all.” Presidency.

So the presidency is going back on its vomit on 97% and 5% policy...What other positions are there to start with? Why do they take the people of SE and parts of SS for granted in the first place...So it took IPOB to reset their thinking mentality?

Except for the transformational programme put by the erstwhile former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, which continued through Fashola and the current Ambode, Lagos could have been ranked 140th out of the 140 cities surveyed and ranked by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), in its latest 2017 assessment and ranking of cities on livability index.

Lagos missed the shameful position by just one point to stay above Damascus, a war torn city in Syria. Damascus was ranked 140th, the worst city to live in, followed by Lagos, ranked at 139th position. What a disgraceful and reprehensible award to Nigeria’s economic hub and Centre of Excellence? What went wrong?

What the report is saying is that even with the destruction and disruption of normal life and economic activities in Syria, Nigeria’s primate city, in peace time, is comparable to Damascus! What an irony!

In 2005, when the same assessment was carried out in 127 cities around the world, Lagos was rated the fifth worst city to live in. The other cities in the bottom 10 like Lagos were Abidjan, Harare and Duala, all in Africa.

Surprisingly, while the other African cities recorded some improvement by moving up the ladder, Lagos descended lower from being the 5th worst city in 2005 to the 2nd worst global city among the 10 least liveable cities in 2017.

Remarkably, Abidjan exited that ignominious group while Duala and Harare moved nine and eight points higher to stand at 132nd and 133rd respectively among the 10 worst cities. What it means is that by the time the survey would be carried out again, Duala and Harare could exit the lamentable group while Lagos could go further down to displace Damascus, especially, if the war in Syria ends and reconstruction of the city commences, except there is a conscious and committed effort to reverse the trend.

The 2017 Global Liveability Report published by the Economist Intelligence Unit placed the Australian city of Melbourne on top of the 10 most livable cities, thereby displacing Vancouver in Canada that took that position in 2005. The other top ten cities behind Melbourne in that order are Vienna (Austria), Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary all in Canada, Adelaide, Perth in Australia, Auckland (New Zealand), Helsinki (Finland) and Hamburg (Germany). Australia and Canada have three cities each in this category, showing that these are countries where life is meaningful.

On the other hand, the list of the group of ten worst cities to live in descending order includes Kiev (Ukraine), Duala (Cameroun), Harare (Zimbabwe), Karachi (Pakistan), Algiers (Algeria), Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Tripoli (Libya), Lagos (Nigeria) and Damascus (Syria).

Remarkably, Lagos stood between Tripoli and Damascus, the capital cities of war ravaged Libya and Syria. That means whatever Lagos is in all ramifications is comparable to those in such war torn cities around the world.

It beats imagination that what looks like transformation in Lagos in recent times in terms of infrastructure, transportation and urban sanitation does not match what is in Damascus that is almost destroyed by war. The indices are not hidden. A few examples will expose the truth.

Starting with the roads, anyone who has lived outside Nigeria would appreciate that Lagos has some of the worst roads in the world. Apart from the fact that the access roads are not many, they are dilapidated and in most cases impassable. The inner-city roads are worse. That explains why there is intractable traffic gridlock in the city.

Daily, billions are lost in incalculable man-hours wasted in traffic. The situation in the Apapa and Tin Can ports complex axis of the city is lamentable. The entire port complex has been paralysed as a result of impassable roads. The authorities left Apapa to decay. The same is the case with the roads leading to the Lagos International Airport. The politics of who owns the roads hampers effective action. The deplorable road condition is among the factors that earned Lagos the sobriquet of a jungle city.

Poor infrastructure, like the roads, is a visible eyesore in Lagos. There is poor drainage to evacuate urban storm, leading to flash floods whenever it rains. The canals that were built more than three decades ago have been abandoned and now used as garbage dump. Gutters are narrow and substandard such that they are perpetually clogged with garbage and silted up.

There is no sub-surface drainage or septic water treatment system. Lagos is perhaps, the only city I know where men get into dirty and heavily polluted gutters and manually scoop out clogged drainage channels and heap dirt on the roadside, from where, most are again washed back into the gutters as they are not evacuated. Intra-city transportation is hectic. Hundreds of rickety mini-buses dominate urban transportation in addition to tricycles and motor-cycles.

There is virtually no public water supply in a mega-city like Lagos. Over 70 per cent of the city’s 20 million people depend on hand-dug wells. Practically, every household has a well as the only dependable source of water supply. Available information shows that only about 30 per cent of the city is water reticulated. Lack of electricity, though, a national problem, compounds the water supply situation.

Liars...this is coincidence..the man was just passing by...They are not related...They way he is looking at them shows he doesn't know the woman and her child...

Basic123:
victim mentality


Is this an igbo thread?...you and those igbo that have comment,what are you looking for?....you dragged yourselves into the mess.when you scavenge and pokenose on yoruba matters ,they will treat you like pigs and vultures!

i don't care what you skull miner post...but you should reduce your brazen lies...Igboman knows no FEAR!!! Once he is convinced in what he believes in...Igbos want Biafra...Majority of the Yorubas want One Nigeria because they gain most from the current struture...So what do we do? Continue to allow the status quo to be maintained? Not anymore...How is this too hard for you to bear? This is the genesis of issues with Yorubas...To prove it...Have you check that any thread about Igbo, Biafra, IPOB and Kanu is massive traffic generator than threads about Yoruba, Ooduaa republic? It shows those who poke their noses...

Blackfire:
Burutai will crush biafra....

Buhari will Re jail nnamdi kanu...

And everyone will go about there normal business.

Your wish...

Basic123:
you think yIGBO people have any brain at all.
24/7 they think of Afonjas.They are dying in fear.

This is what you little mind told you...Is the topic about Igbos? Does this people in this picture look like people dying in fear....? How do you reason..and able to cross the road without being knockwd down by a vehicle?

Amazing...Good work..

ProWalker:
Ibo people are forming militants
Cowards!

OPC are even more cowards..they carry arms...

Hotzone:
It's opinion oriented topic so please just say yours without feeling bad. To me, Nigeria can still survive without some region. Peace is paramount.

If it divides Nigeria...so be it.

Nigeria was never one...we are forcing ourselves to be one...but it has not worked...

All this government knows is to force people to remain together by the barrel of the gun, instead of working on the cause of the agitation...

Like she said...Buhari action and inactions are the main cause of the agitations...

It is good to note that he kind of, agreed, that there are issues...

“This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence. Buhari

He had the opportunity to correct those legitimate concerns, but he didn't do anything about them.
