While your aim is admirable, I beg to disagree.

Just watch as your kinsmen will come and sh*t all over this thread calling you names.

The truth is the hatred is real and its only a matter of time before it spills out into the real world.

We've been called all sorts of names on this forum and other fora, insults have traded and all forms of tactics have been used to demean and degrade the Yoruba people and culture.

I'm sure the term "Yoruba demons" is very familiar to you.

Another way to ensure their ladies don't marry Yoruba males.

Why are you yoruba guys more concerned about '' igbo ladies not marrying yoruba males''? Are you on some phantom sexual conquest or what or is it a cultural thing to see women as spoils? Why not talk of igbo males marriage to yoruba women.
Sick people.

PMB is the messier Nigeria has been waiting for, no question. He will fulfilled his mission for Nigeria no matter the demonic gang ups against him. He is emasculated by the millions of angel we conjure up to his aid.
LONG LIVE BUHARI and GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

Messier indeed.
Buhari's IQ would probably be one of the lowest among world leaders. I am certainly sure of that.

But fact remains that America practices a mixed economy. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Obamacare, Section 8, WIC (food stamps), farm subsidies etc etc too many to list.

You find both system in the West. The east is just more dogged with their capitalism compared to other regions in Nigeria. It's both a strength and a weakness.

A mixed economy as practiced by america is not the kind you are trying to emphasize. Creating aid packages for the vulnerable does not make them less capitalistic. Capitalism is part of the american psyche
The east also has a similar socialistic programes for the poor. Imo state runs a free university courtesy of okorocha(i don't want to go into feasibility), other governors in the east have been known to give out LOANS. That is the kind of socialistic program i support anyway.
America gives free money to the poor, but that is because they can now afford to. Capitalism has created a lot of rich folks who can then be taxed by the state to cater for the poor.
Nigeria is not rich enough. Our socialistic program which we can not afford anyway is not productive.

kayfra:
America and Europe practice a mixed economy. There are too many social safety nets that calling them capitalists countries is laughable.

The only country that practices 100% capitalism is Somalia.

Now you are bringing up a different issue.
Ofcourse , any sane country would have safety nets for the vulnerable and the poor. Iit dosen't make them less capitalistic.
The richest brands some of them owned in the world are in america. Some of them are owned by single individuals or families. America's defence industry is not even in the hands of the state.
APPLE corporation founded by one man steve jobs at a certain point had more raw cash in its disposal than the US government. You can never be more capitalistic than that.

kayfra:
There is a remarkable difference between interstate wars (we had city-states) and inter clan wars. Cannibalism as a cultural practice was never documented or found in the West. We were just more civilized, facts you or I can't change.

Cannibalism was found in every nook and cranny of Nigeria in varying proportions. And even in the developed europe at a point in their history.

kayfra:
Both practice meritocracy and capitalism(mixed with socialism in the West) to varying degrees, more skewed towards individuals in the east and more corporate in the West. A democratic system that makes one literally eat rival clans often in small hamlets is simply an uncivilized way of living.

I don't where rival clans eat other rival clans in the east. It is the west i know that engages in very bloody communal conflicts.
Besides, democratic system in the east though not perfect was superior to anything in any other part of Nigeria.It could have undergone a lot of positive evolution with time.
Capitalism is individualistic. Even in america and western europe today, which is why we have the american dream where anybody can aspire to be anything as long you are able to work hard for it.Which is Why we have the global 1%.
Corporate capitalism whatever that means is more or less socialism or even communism.

kayfra:
There simply isn't any rivalry. We are different.

One has been living a cosmopolitan lifestyle even before colonization. They think and act. The other is extremely clannish and tribal with a tendency of acting before detailed analysis. Both have extremely smart people but their natural inclinations leads to the former having more communal success and the later individual successes.

One is egaliterian, meritocratically capitalistic and practiced a historically superior democratic system of governance predating colonialism,, the other is somewhat subservient, always need a ruler, and socialistic regardless of its feasibility.

lagos is crowded calabar will b better

Calabar already has tinapa and a nollywood village inside.
I would rather buhari upgrade the one in calabar or build a new one in enugu.

So Niger-Delta Avengers can Bomb it.


Its best situated in the West....Nigeria`s most peaceful and investment friendly enviroment

I think you should stick to yorubawood. We are talking of a film village of globally recognized faces and language, not jide kosoko and co.
Since when did the SW became the most peaceful? That is not according to the UN.

The Nigerian film industry which the world knows about is concentrated in the calabar-asaba-enugu axis.
What the hell is a FG funded film village doing in kano, a conservative islamic hotbed ? How much does kannywood or whatever contributes to Nigeria's GDP?.They just want to corner everything because they dominate Nigeria's politics with their army of almajiris.
Anybody that believes in Nigeria's future must be seriously mad

Alright. Atleast you didn't deny it.

But u just made it clear that igbos are less concerned about politics since you are hard working. Are you confused?

Where did i say that?

[quote author=babyfaceafrica post=47877572]marriage and business is fake?....for you ,not for me...thunder fire politics...who politicians epp?..kip supporting APC and PDP there ,when people are moving forward!!!![/quot]Unified progressive politics brings progress and devt that promotes inter-marriages and inter-business whatever.
Given the political acrimony, it is only a matter of time before the business and marriage relationship you so cherish drastically reduces and altogether stops.
It was not too long ago and even till now when many igbo parents don't allow their children get married to strange Nigerian tribes beyond the Niger, and it is connected to the Nigerian civil war politics.

What of ifeanyi ubah who was a beneficiary of the subsidy scam?

What of Olisa metuh?

What of stella oduah?

What of Chuba okadigbo who bought sallah rams for 75million naira?

What of so many igbo leaders who have been indicted in so many corruption cases?

You live in a glass house so stop throwing stones

For every one igbo leader caught , you would get 10 from the other side. That is the irony of the whole matter.
Even under buhari government, igbos have been the least indicted among the three majors tribes with the our fulani trustworthy mafia constituting the largest percentage.
Now, i am not excusing or denying the fact that many igbo people in the corridors of power are corrupt, but sorry, compared to the rest of the bunch they are the least corrupt if we look objectively.
Let us analyze their offenses, okadigbo's 50 rams for 75million(lol), stella oduah's official BMW(Not an actual embezllement btw), and ifeanyi uba who incidentally is not as even as deeply entrenched in the whole scandal as the otedollars and co.
These are crimes agreed,and are inexcusable, but sorry cannot be compared to embezzlement of billions and billions of naira and dollars perpetuated by our fulani mafias and their partners in crimes.
The fulani mafias who eat without remnants are the reason why Nigeria is in trouble today and poverty and improvisherment is on the rise.

This is why you people will remain politically irrelevant if you don't have a change of mind. It took buhari yoruba's intervention to make him president after 3 tries. Yoruba's supported GEJ when Turai and the northern oligarchs refused to swear him in. Underestimate the influence of the yoruba's at your own peril. No need for name calling, we are here to make peace

No, it took a northern unity and fanaticism to make buhari president.
The north was not united in buhari's earlier trials.

babyfaceafrica:
OP....I will say and keep saying ,this NL rabblings by both tribes is a mirage.They do business daily with each oda,date each oda,nack each oda and get married on weekends nairaland is used to measure real life ,you will be misled my bro.I just come here to enjoy myself when they throw tantrums at each oda.

How has the inter-marriage and inter-business relationship helped both parties ?
Where it matters the most is politics. That is where whole destinies are decided , and that is where the disagreement is.
Marriage , business or whatever is irrelevant and fickle.

Btw, it is indeed noteworthy that none of the igbo military leaders that became heads of state or power brokers of the 60s, 70s and 80s have been said to embezzle or loot public funds like their IBB, abacha, buhari counterparts. None of them allocated oil blocs to themselves, their wives, girlfriends and friends like their northern colleagues.
Even Nnamdi azikiwe that created Nigeria has no record of financial impropriety given the huge license he had then to steal and enrich himself, and then,ojukwu the military head of the oil rich eastern region had no oil bloc or linked to any illegal or corrupt sharing of oil blocs.
When Nigerians begin to ponder issues deeply, that country would begin to move forward.

joborskill:
Divided we fall, United we stand. Been left alone is why the igbos have been unable to produce a president all this while. If the east unite with the yoruba's, we can break the political monopoly of the north to our advantage. Igbos need yoruba's and vice versa

The last time i checked your people are in alliance with the north.
So what exactly are you trying to break? I have read on this forum many times from our resident pseudo-sophisticates , laughable and historically untrue as it is, that northerners are the most trustworthy folks in terms of leadership.
And then i begin to wonder why Nigeria still a 5th world nation given the fact that these ''trustworthy'' people have dominated politics since i can remember and have churned out some of the most gluttonous african leaders in history embezzling and wasting billions and billions of dollars and pounds of oil revenues.
Madness and stupidity is what characterizes many Nigerians.

Why are u always so pained na.. Is the guy Lying?

Pained? I am having fun watching you bittches cry.
I didn't lie either. Or did i?

Lol, please stop it Mr. Erastus Ignaramus... Koffi Olomide is not Nigerian nor Yoruba... and your parents worship Amadioha so what makes you better than the ogun worshipping fellow? And just look at you blowing me with facts son

Don't give a fucck where he comes from.
He is not igbo is the point i am trying to make. Maybe next time ,you and your pseudo-sophisticates would stop tribalising threads before it begins.

did I just see chinedu?

wetin Chinedu do again? abi is he the reason they are calling is drug dealers?

Go to any western forum that has a lot of global followership and shape global mindsets like yahoo, dailymail and reddit e.t.c., the first thing that comes to their mind when they talk to a Nigerian is advanced fee fraud, Identity scam, romance and dating scams and FBI most wanted felons.
And we all know the set of people that perpetuate such criminality. Our yoruba sophisticated travelling immigrants.
Drugs as bad a crime as it is, surprisingly is not what Nigeria is known for atleast in places that matter.

CXLVII:
Chinedu!

See how you have damaged Nigeria`s reputation in the international scene? Your name was even mentioned!

Koffi olamide is igbo, right?
Ogun worshipping illiterate.

The Nigerian film industry which the world knows about is concentrated in the calabar-asaba-enugu axis.

Nope, you guys should learn to read and comprehend; I never said Rochas was a saint, I only compared him with his predecessors. As messy as Rochas' administration may have been so far, it still beats the 12 combined years of Udenwa and Ohakim in terms of development.

Maybe. Rochas okorocha and his predecessors is like the difference between -1 and -2 in governance. Utterly irrelevant. We want something much better.
Which is why i want APGA to sweep the entire east. They are the only party that has shown any iota of promise with respect to igboland.

All the people that have made the SE and Nigeria at large proud educationally are all Anambra people till date. For the past 10yrs Anambra has maintained first spot in academics and this has been the norm since the time of the great Zik and Ojukwu. You have nothing on us as we are over and above your state in all ramification.

As at the time Zik from Onitsha- Anambra state) went to America to study no Imo state person has seen chalk. What about the first Oxford(Ojukwu from Nnewi- Anambra state) product in Africa when Imolites were still living on trees.. There's a reason we are the father of the Igbo race

Imo state women prefer prostitution to schooling while their men prefer militancy, armed robbery and mechanic than going to school. All the mechanic I have seen in Anambra and Rivers state are mainly Imo state people. Why is that?


[s][/s]

You are sick in the head, young man.
I wouldn't be surprised if you are not igbo.

obailala:
Hate him all you like for some of his indiscretions (or for the fact that he joined apc and booted gej out), but the sacred fact is that the 5-year 'messy rule' of Rochas is still several mile better than the combined 12 year sojourn of Udenwa and Ohakim in Imo state. This is a fact and sensible people of Imo state know this fact; the only people who dispute this are those who hate rochas with a passion simply because he joined apc.

If rochas okorocha level of governance is what you want for imo state then i can't help you.
I don't have time for base politics. A governor that built a christmas tree for 600 million in a state where poverty has driven a lot of the ladies into whoredom can never be a standard for reckoning.

China has reverse engineered most american industrial products to solve indigenous industrial need and create self-sufficiency. Very smart mofos.
The chinese communist government must collectively have the highest Intellectual quotient(IQ) in the world today among world leaders.
Try such in Nigeria like innoson is supposedly trying to do and you would hear self-righteous trolls tell us how the design is chinese, taiwanese or siberian.
Even the federal government is irredeemably dumb.

Okorocha is a risk to anybody that touches him. The same fat fool was made governor by Peter Obi but he forgot who made him to win his first election victory due to his ingratitude.

I just wish Okorocha will declare to run in 2019, then you will see the mother of all humiliation.

The man Okorocha was a well known armed robber in the 50s that later join politics.

Pot calling kettle black.
Infact, anambra for all its potential in the shaping of igbo future has done a lot of harm.
I wish i could flog all the politicians there with a whip of iron.
Anambra is suppposedly the cradle of igbo civilization and yet can't seem to lead with respect and tact. I am surprised that zik came from there.
He would be thoroughly ashamed of what anambra has done to igbo political unity with respect to Nigeria.

Abagworo:
(1) Zik was not an Anambra man per se. Onitsha Ado people are totally different in mentality from the people we are talking about.

(2) Ojukwu did not create APGA for he was in APP which was more Northern inclined then. Chekwas Okorie from Abia State founded APGA and the usual suspects hijacked it.

(3) Rochas Okorocha if indeed he has plans to become President does not need Anambra State. Imo, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi are enough. Moreover Southwest and North decide who rules Nigeria no matter the outcome of SS and SE. North alone is more than 55% of our voting population.

I am not interested in going over who created what. I am only interested in the way forward.
You are obviously naive if you believe rochas can become president without the east of which anambra would be the rallying point.
And no, the SW does not decide who becomes president. The north obviously, but definitely not the SW.They didn't overly decide OBJ and yar'adua presidency. And they obviously don't have as much votes as the SE/SS. GEJ would not have gotten up to 12 million votes to buhari's 15 million if the SW were the ones supporting his candidacy and the SE were the ones for buhari.
Besides, i don't think the SW or even the north would vote for a man that is not supported by his people. This country is too cut-throat and rough for such selfless politics.
