What kind of name is abonyi?
Btw, what the hell is in environment?
Almajiris will be the ones dictating economic policy and the geriatic president is giving out crappy slots to the SE.
okay na.

Ephemmm:
The question is not about the policy of an administration: it is about which tribe is ruling. So, OBJ is now Hausa or Igbo! What a fallacy of misinterpretation of tribe.

It is a matter of interest not necessarily tribe.
Tribes only support leaders that support their interest, which is what the north has been doing for decades.
OBJ was supported by the SE because he supported our interests.
OBJ was hated by the SW because he did not support their interest.

Intrepid01:
Bros pls ask for the meaning of a state burial. A state burial is given by the federal Government. He was never given anything like that. Please support your comment with facts not wishes.

lol.

The Punch
Mar 4, 2012 - You are here: Home / Politics / Ojukwu's state burial ... and a 21-gun salute oft reserved for a departed head of state given to our (my) hero

Ephemmm:
'The eight years of OBJ rule was not a product of yoruba help' - Good! you can now see how illogical your reasoning is: can we now call Hausas Yoruba's slaves too?

OBJ was not there to satisfy yoruba interests. He never did.
So there is no servitude there.
Infact, his govt was very igbo-centric in appointments.
And yes, he got there without yoruba help.

aim5:
Cool.. Also Edo State is like South Central if anything. Igbo people are nothing special tbh. You guys have produced great people, but your annoying chest beating is very repulsive. You people claim to have the best genetics like you're exotic or something ha please many of you are plain looking, even your yellow women. But back to subject, Edo people have no stock in Biafra, yes you're correct. And I'm not going to be in your way in you guys fight to create Biafra. In fact, I hope you guys make Biafra soon because then we won't have to hear your constant chest beating.

South central.
LMFAO.
EDo state is western, deal with it.
As for igbo arrogance, well, we earned it.
Arising from the ashes of the civil war and creating the most balanced socio-economic status in Nigeria.
The victors of the civil war are still battling polio, brown roofs,mass illiteracy and poverty.
We may not have a billionaire in the mould of dangote, but we have by far the most equitable wealth destribution.
I am sure you'd be arrogant as well if you were igbo.

Ephemmm:
Yorubas are wise for pepertual servitude to the Hausa / Fulani. ...truly my fetish people are born clowns and Hausa / Fulani slave

In this modern political dispensation, Yoruba has ruled for 8 years as a President, likewise serving as Speaker and Vice President: how is it logical to call them Fulani's slave if your sense of reasoning is still functioning as a son of Bifraraud who has not even sat on the throne of Presidency?
In your own myopic thinking, we can logically call them Ijaw-slave when they refused to vote for PMB in 2011 too. Anyway, I know what happened to you: see it below

The eight years of OBJ rule was not a product of yoruba help. Yorubas never liked him.
Tinubu fought him all through.
Infact his major support base in the south was the south east, which also reflected in his appointments.
Anyway, Political power in Nigeria is rubbish as the leaders can't leverage on it for their people anyway . I'd rather have economic power.

aim5:
Yes there is nothing in common with Igbos and Edos genetically and culturally. Also Edo State is not far West as you think it is.

Of course, there is nothing linking Edo state and igbos, which is why edo state has no stake in biafra.
Abia, imo state and infact most igbo states are more ''south-south'' than edo state.
Edo state is in the west.

Intrepid01:
I am only interested in the part where you said Ojukwu was given a celebrated burial by Nigeria.

Please some of us love facts, kindly provide facts to support that assertion.

But I know very well that he was not even recognized by the Senate and House of Representatives. An issue some Igbo reps tried bringing up at the floor of the senate at that time.

Ojukwu was given a state burial. That is the highest respect for any Nigerian .
The national assembly must given consent before state burial is given, so stop talking nonsense.
Awolowo or even benjamin adekunle did not get close to that.
I am sure ojukwu himself would not have wanted it anyway.

atbu1983:
You must be an illiterate to say anioma was in eastern region!!! Asaba, agbor, Ndokwa, kwale etc where never part of eastern region. They were all part of western region, later Mid western region, later Bendel state before becoming part of delta state today.

Note. the word anioma was created recently.

Then why was asaba, agbor and most part of anioma bombed by Nigerian troops in the civil war.
There is no record that any other part of the so-called midwest suffered From Nigerian forces apart from anioma.
Also why did murtala muhammed unleashed his genocidic wrath on the anioma community for their so-called anti-nationalistic or biafran agenda.
Anioma may be a recent terminology, the shared heritage is not. It dates hundreds of years before Nigeria.

i seriously don't understand the concern of edo indigene.
They were not part of the old eastern region that constituted biafra.
There is very little genetic or cultural link between an edo man or most parts of the SS.
An akwaibom man for example has a more genetic and cultural link with his brother from abia across state border than an edo man in the far west.
With all due respect, Edo state is irrelevant in any biafran discourse.

atbu1983:
Dont mind the thieves from Igbo nation. Their greed is their weakness. Delta state was never at anytime part of Eastern Region. The same people can easily say let Edo go, but they find it difficult to say let delta state go. The reason is simple, because edo state dont have much oil discovered as at today.

All shout about biafra is Niger delta oil.

Delta state now was not the delta state of then.
Anioma was part of the eastern region, and is probably the only part of delta state needed in a biafran state.
You can keep the rest of delta south. I agree they were not part of the old eastern region.

atbu1983:
Boundaries are not defined by language.
Edo is south south. Every edo man and woman has more right to talk about the future of south south than any foreigner or imposter from Imo, enugu, abia, anambra or ebonyi.

Urhobo, isoko, itsekiri, Ikwere etc all trace thier history, origin and culture to Benin empire.

South east are foreigners when it come to south south affair.

Something must be wrong with you.
I am sure you have never heard of the old-eastern region before.
Bbtw, what is the population of edo state?

Language would be a problem, otherwise i see some very randy guys going for angola or ethiopia.

juicee1:
you can't tell them how to run their city. If you don't like it, move to ogun state.

I even thought i was replying a human being.
So agbero are the ones that should be running ''your'' city?
Get well soon.

hahaha.

juicee1:
they'll still need to come to lagos to shop cos that's where their imports land. . Don't get angry with God for not giving you sea.

The problem you have with yorubas because of lagos and its ports will still be experienced with the ikwerres and ijaws should PH ports come to life.

Change your attitude


I want you to know that cooperate business are beginning to move into phone and electronic businesses. These guys are setting up showrooms across the nation. Gone will soon be the days when 2by2 shops sell phones with no guarantee and promos. We now have jumia, konga, lenovo, yudala ringo etc opening outlets in different parts of lagos.

Don't hate lagos...love it.

If they hate lagos, they won't invest billions there.
It is your agberos and omo-onile that hate lagos going by their actions.

A good idea actually.
Lagos should more or less be a liason. The heavy machineries should be sold in the east.

Only a simpleton would be surprised.

MrkenOkonkwo:
please give us food.
hunger is killing us here in Anambra.

Today civil servants in that same anambara state are enjoying 16% increase in salaries, while the civil servants in your SW are being almajirised.
Power has changed hands.

I wanted to say something really bad to this man.
But then i remembered that the fear of GOD is the beginning of wisdom.

Obiagelli:
Let's hope iran and Israel become allies some day

There is nothing to gain from iran.
Saudi would even make a better ally.

Obiagelli:
War isn't something we can discuss and conclude just like that, have you considered whos side China will take?

just BTW

The SU 35 has better flight range ( 346 nautical miles) farther than the F-22 and higher cruise speed at long distance flight.

China? Bleh.
I'd rather have NATO than china.
Btw, i don"t think china would risk its neck for russia.
They are not that stupidd.
SU-35 vs F-22? More bleh.

Obiagelli:
The US has more allies than Russia

Allies only go where their bread is buttered.

Obiagelli:
There is no way they won't end up in a dog fight between the two super power, Infact it's going the major decider. The SUs are masters of maneuver.

The americans are masters of stealth technology.
Weaken you significantly before you even see them.
Not to forget the fact that the US has an overwhelming superiority in number of airframes.
And that is not even bringing NATO into consideration.

Obiagelli:
what is all these noise about military budget? that it takes one country billions to to build weapons doesn't mean the other can't build something better with millions.

US vs Russia will be disastrous for humanity and no one can tell who will survive it.

The US is the greatest exporter of weapons despite the fact that she selects the countries to sell to.
Russia sells to everybody and yet can't match the US in sales.
That shows you the disparity in quality of technology and acceptability.
The huge gap in quality is a product of the huge difference in defence budgets.

Obiagelli:
In the summer of 2012, at the international
Red Flag Alaska training exercise where the
planes were matched against Australian,
German, Japanese, Polish and [NATO]
aircraft, the “most advanced stealth fighter jet
in history, the F-22 Raptor” proved that while
the plane excels at modern long-range air
combat, it is only “evenly matched” with
cheaper, foreign jets when it comes to old-
fashioned dogfights.

You should also read Raptor Vs Typhoon

"It is evenly matched in old-fashioned dog fights."
"old fashioned "dog fight more like old fashioned mediocrity.
What makes the F-22 the greatest in the world is not "old fashioned" dogfights.
There are more far important qualities in the F-22 that will ensure its superiority in an air to air combat.
The F-22 will hit you before you even get a chance for a dogfight.
And yes the Eurotyphoon is very good, but i would still put my money on an F-22.

Tkester:
Because he's a tough guy.

For me he's my role model, the only world leader I admire!

Call him a pussiie all you want, his nation is definitely not a pussiie.
Saddam, ghadaffi and gorbachev were strong men, yet surrendered to american might.
God bless america.

Obiagelli:
The 5G fighters that are failures already?

The F-22 raptor and the F-35 are the two 5G aircrafts in the world today and both belongs to the US.
The F-22 works perfectly fine. The F-35 is the one with design issues.
The F-35 is so advanced that it still an engineering headache for even its manufacturers who are probably the best and the most advanced defence manufacturing company in the world.
Anyway, the issues will soon be resolved.

What a disgrace.
There is no credible military that uses hilux vans to transport its troops.
Those guys are soft targets for RPGs, land mines, and GPMGs.
na wa for Nigeria o.
