Mumu, we are talking of life that cannot be replaced once lost and this re.tard is talking about generators and borehole. I swear you Igbo have mental health issues. The old boys intent on one Nigeria should die quickly so our generation can say bye bye to you guys. Simple issue of reducing insturments of death you must argue against . Who cursed you people?

So all this illogical nonsense you’ve been spouting since is due to your ethnocentric delusion. You should have said so since nah

Here I was thinking you even genuinely believed the mumuish ideas you were propagating not knowing you were arguing with all Igbos using me as a proxy.

Arsewipe.

Oshigun:
Mumu, so everyone carrying guns is the solution? Can you think intelligently for once? Things are volatile already with extreme poverty and other issues. Will proliferation of firearms worsen or better the security situation in Nigeria? Not Rocket Science buddy.

I hope you’re not one of those shills who live elsewhere while singing the praises of these demented incompetents who run this hell hole.

If you live in Nigeria, then you should apply your re.tarded logic to every other issue here. Get rid of your generator because that’s not the solution to your power problem.

Pour concrete down your bore hole and close your septic tank because that is not the solution to the fact that you don’t have pipe borne water and a public sewage system. Aren’t you aware of the environmental costs of everyone drilling boreholes and placing septic tanks everywhere?

Mor0nic hypocrite.

Oshigun:
You are insane and need to go out and get a life. Britain is one of the safest nations in the world and the Police are not even armed. Contrast that with the USA where gun crime is insane.

Guns, as much as possible, should be taken out of any society that wants to make progress. Only specially trained officers, deemed mentally and physically competent, should carry guns as obtains in the UK.

I am insane and you’re stoopid. The UK is freaking island with proper borders. They have an actual government in place with a social safety net.

Your freaking shite hole has no borders where any lunatic can drive in a convoy of armoured tanks any time without hindrance.

You have a barely functional government, poorly trained, ill equipped and totally unmotivated security forces as well as an army of beggars and destitute rabble.

Yet a total mor0n like you thinks that UK will be a good example to compare with.

This doesn’t sound good! Actually, it sounds down right sinister. Very, very ominous signal, especially with the renewed upsurge of bandit attacks.

I would advise everyone not only to keep their guns but to arm up. Protect yourselves oh because this government is neither capable but (with this executive order) also unwilling to protect you.

The British did exactly the same thing in the East as a prelude to imposing their tyranny on us.

A word is enough for the wise.

Thandiubani:
I disagree with you.

You cannot sit in your house and tell us that Nigeria will be a failed state come 2023. That is what they have been using to deceive us since 1999.

You need to wake up.

No you need to wake up. As at 2018, Nigeria was already #14 on the Fragile State Index.

Do you imagine that becoming a failed state means that Nigeria will just disappear in a puff of smoke? No!

A failed state is a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly. A state can also fail if the government loses its legitimacy even if it is performing its functions properly. Wikipedia

If you can look at definition and honestly extrapolate the symptoms you see now; widespread insecurity, banditry and a couple of ongoing insurgencies towards the next 4 years and add a major economic crisis to mix, then come and tell me how you won’t have a failed state then.

Very scary if illuminating.

This looks like the canary in the coal mine. The scariest thing for me is the implied debt servicing obligations.

We’re truly shafted!

The Igbos have long been marginalized in Nigeria's political equation and must come 2023 produce the next president, writes Alexander Thandi Ubani.

Since the beginning of Nigeria's fourth republic in 1999, no Igbo man or woman has ever been elevated to the position of President or Vice President of Nigeria. From 1999 till date, the country has been ruled by a Yoruba man for 8 years (Olusegun Obasanjo), Ijaw man for 4 years + (Goodluck Jonathan) and Hausa/Fulani for 7 years and counting (Umaru Musa Yar'Adua & Muhammadu Buhari). It is like a grand plan is in place to shut out the Igbos from ascending to these two elevated positions.

If truth must be told, this aspect of our political history is one of the many reasons there is serious distrust and bad blood between the Igbos and the two other major ethnic groups in the country.

There is no gainsaying the fact that when a heterogeneous country like Nigeria marginalizes one of the biggest ethnic groups in the country using bitter political maneuverings, it is preparing itself for a catastrophic implosion.

We pray and sing 'one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity' in our national anthem, yet we continue to undermine it through calculated political misgivings. For instance, Buhari's four years as President (2016-2019) has so far been characterized by a highly ethnic-bigoted appointments which caused serious friction in the polity. Although he argued that his decision was as a result of the number of votes he got from the south in 2015 election, such thinking to say the least, is primitive. Without mincing words, this bitter political scheme watered the ground for serious ethnic disharmony. Many felt that other ethnic groups were purposely left out by his government because the North has a hidden agenda it is yet to achieve.

The bitterness existing between the three major ethnic groups has continued to grow as the Igbos feel isolated from reaching the highest position in the land because of an unwritten agreement between the two other major ethnic groups. By their alliance, the two ethnic groups have continued to produce people who have so far failed in taking Nigeria to the promise land - but because of their numbers, we have continued to settle for mediocre.

The power-hungry-ethnic-champions who have held sway for many years have refused to understand that shutting out one of its three major ethnic groups from power fosters a spirit of rebellion, which in turn results in hostility among the ethnic groups. More so, this act doesn't encourage a peaceful and harmonious co-existence.

Interestingly, a feeling of marginalization as this, is one of the reasons why the country has refused to move forward. This is because the ethnic groups have failed to work together as one. Instead, the individuals who have at various times occupied the highest position in the land over the years made themselves ethnic warriors instead of looking out for the interest of the nation.

Because all ethnic groups in the country are equal and must have same equal political opportunities, at no time should Nigerians ever be given that impression that a particular ethnic group is born to rule over others.

On the part of the Igbos, there should be a conscientious effort to harmonize the existing relationship between them and other ethnic groups, if this dream must come true. The pockets of discord being sown by enemies of the people who have continued to exploit fault-lines to cause disunity must be spotted and erased.

Now and again, I see people debating whether those from Delta, Ebonyi etc have the 'true blood of Igboness' flowing in them. What kind of nonsensically divisive argument is that? It is like we are intentionally playing right into the hands of our ex-military rulers who planted the seed of discord by ripping us apart many years ago. The southeast and southsouth are brothers and must not allow their enemies to continue to dictate their political steps.

Southeast and southsouth politicians who are happy to play second fiddle after selling their rights must be reminded that history will always remember them with a frown. All illustrious sons and daughters of Ndigbo must as a matter of urgency begin now to lobby their counterparts from other ethnic groups for an Igbo Presidency come 2023.

If the dream of Igbo presidency must be achieved in 2023, the high rate of voter apathy in the southeast and Southsouth must be reversed. Ndigbo must come out en masse to vote instead of sitting back at home hoping for a miracle.

The absence of a leadership figure from the southeast and southsouth capable of uniting the two groups has been a clog in the wheel of progress. However, progress must be made with what is available. Illustrious sons and daughters (politicians, businessmen/women, intellectuals, writers and like minds) of southeast and southsouth extraction must come together as one for the purpose of producing an Igbo presidency in 2023.

We must upset the balance to forge a formidable force and take what is rightfully ours.

In order to correct the current unsavory political equation in Nigeria, foster peace & unity and conceive the idea in the hearts of all that Nigeria belongs to all, the Igbos must produce the President come 2023. This way, equity and justice would have been served.

You people are not serious. By 2023, after Mumuharri’s disastrous next level, Nigeria will be officially a failed state.

The signs are everywhere. You don’t need a prophet to tell you that any more than you need a meteorologist to tell you it will rain when the sky is overcast. And that is the time you want one poor Igboman to become president?

Thanks but no thanks.

Work going on seriously at Imo Pilgrimage resort at Akachi. Isn't everything beginning to make sense?

This Roaches slowpoke seriously wasted our money on crap, saddling the poor guy coming after him with 230 Billion Naira in debts with nothing useful to show for it.

Dayum!

This was half a century ago but could have been written today.

I am glad Mumuharri got his pour flus pour. By the time he finishes, there will be no need for conflict. This colonial prison camp will have collapsed and real African nations shall emerge at last.

May the sacrifices of our heroes not be in vain.

All hail Biafra!

Reading the comments, it’s interesting that the male monickers (who have a limited role in actual pregnancy and even child rearing) are the most vehement anti-abortionists.

On the other hand, women who have to go through the pain of carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term are more realistic about the issues.

For once, it’s fitting that the guys should STFU and quit yakking, at least until they can get pregnant and become actually more involved in child rearing.

RareDiamond,

This sounds interesting. I like the focus on growing the local economy. All these beautification projects are never going to help us.

Nigerians are Nigeria’s main problem.

If there were no Nigerians, Nigeria will be just perfect.

Now, a Nigerian leader is actually thinking!

Kudos to you governor. I hope you walk the talk.

So people still dey invest for NSE.

Anyway, mumu no dey finish. Sold my entire stock as soon as Mumuharri won the selection in 2015. I haven’t even glanced there since.

shadeyinka:
How about the Hutu's and Tutsi's?

It's a also different scenario. If the Hutus had won after the genocide, there would have been no reconcilliation.

shadeyinka:
This is like a demonic sponsored enemity if the conclusion is that our coalition can never work due to unforgivness.

If USA can be at peace with Germany, we should also give peace a chance. Even Israel after the Holocaust seem to have forgiven Germany. God can heal any wound!

It is instructive that all the examples of "forgiveness" you gave in your comment involve separate countries. Maybe there is a clue there.

shadeyinka:
If you have done your analysis we'll, you will see that we will succeed more because of our market size as a united country than otherwise. Technological development with no market is useless!

There is a gangup against emerging countries technology-wise. A country that would survive must have a large internal market.

We have all the problems above because the intellectuals have allowed the mediocre to rule them in the name of tribal sentiments. We need to strategically think of the way forward.

The EU has a very large common market but it’s made of several countries. You don’t have to be in a single country to have a common market.

shadeyinka:
If there was a mistake of the past, must their children continue a senseless fight to their annihilation?

Bro, you’re on a quixotic venture. It’s never going to happen. You are just tilting at windmills.

This fvckery has been going on for over 150 years. From colonial records, the Yoruba and Igbo freed slaves in Sierra Leone were already at loggerheads with much the same quarrels you read everyday on this forum.

They should never have been together in one country but the British were never interested in a viable country to start with.

Seems very apt since these two are priest-kings.

Imo1stson:
In Imo State for example Uche Nwosu won APC governorship primaries but it was deliberately denied him and given to an unpopular candidate. The Governorship election proper was also won by same Uche Nwosu who represented APC using AA as a platform but false result was deliberately read out and his representatives intimidated into submission at collation center. Even right there on national TV a PDP agent tore a result sheet but it was handled like nothing happened and a candidate who couldn't get 1/3rd votes in 2/3rd of LGAs was declared elected using falsely inflated votes in only 3 LGAs.

In Orlu Senatorial election Okorocha easily won it to their surprise and they tried to smuggle out the returning officer to go to Owerri and announce fake result which the people resisted and they used the lie of duress to withhold a clearly won and declared election all in a bid to fight their only light in Southeast.

I've never seen where a ruling party is fighting hard to make sure they don't win what they deserve all because they want to deny Igbos 2023 Presidency. In the end Northerners will never support Tinubu over Igbo Presidency because Northerners are just.

Haba! Abagworo!

Sofry, sofry dey lie nah. How Uche go win election for Imo State?

Once this one see fine woman, him go dey do one mumuish smile.

THAT LAND BELONGS TO ISRAEL.

IT IS THE PROMISE LAND THAT THE EVIL ONES USED WAR TO SNATCH FROM THEM.

TODAY ISRAEL IS BACK ON THEIR LAND.

YAHWEH IS GREAT. GOD PROMISE IS FOREVER.

You Christian Zionists are worse than the Jewish variety. At least the Jewish ones are realistic about their actions, Christian Zionism is based on superstition and supported by myths.

For me, I can never understand why an African will ever support one of the only nations to support the racist South African regime.

Marxizm:
Few Northerners...what? Have you taken your time to have a roll-call of the who's that occupy the ranks and files of govt institutions, organisations, parastatals, departments...every damn structure, they're there. You can't get to any juicy position in this country without getting the approval from ''the uneducated'' north. You're saying that they're few northerners because haven't really sought for approval for something that needed govt officials' signatories.

I had some papers that needed to be signed before a release would effected. Four signatories had to come from govt offices from Abuja while three had to be signed in Lagos.But do you know the none of the seven signatories had Igbo or Yoruba name. And you are telling me that ''few northerners'' control power?

Aren’t you inadvertently supporting those deriding the North for dragging back the rest of the country? Especially with the way government is working so well?

MissRaine69:
I don’t get women...
He is the one stepping out, yet you fight with the other woman as if that will make him stop.

This is why every morning, I thank my ancestors for making me a Nigerian man and pray that they will prevent the feminarchy from ever taking hold of these parts.

May they be praised. Iseee!
