Edodefender has complained about it severally.

Nigerians pick on other Nigerians, we also jab other Africans like you Kenyans, it's a normal thing and is fun. l have heard lgbos say other Nigerians pick on them most and also a Yoruba man who once said they are the most insulted tribe in Nigeria but they just take everything calmly. What of the Hausas who are always referred to as Aboki all the time and there is Edo witch, Urhobo wayo, etc.
Nigerians just yab themselves the way they want talkless of foreigners.

NairobiWalker:
The community that other Nigerians love making fun of?

Nigerians make fun of every community in Nigeria.

I'm just saying,watch this space!

Saying what and which space? your previous post made no sense whatsoever, Dangote himself has lost more since 2016 whereas he was among the top 25 richest men under Jonathan, and Obasanjo almost single handedly contributed to his being the richest today, yet you say he is among the cabal supporting a so called Northern hegemony. lf you should make conspiracy theories, stop making childish or foolish ones.

Jonraid:
The Northern rich men led by men like Aliko would lowkey like to see an unending Northern leadership in Nigeria's statehouse. Buhari is here to stay. It's hard for one being the richest man in a country without being an underground political broker more so in Africa!

What's this one saying? Aliko's business and net worth has suffered more in this regime than in the previous ones. Stick to what you know, how many times do you see us making guesses or conspiracy theories about the kikuyu's( or whatever their name is) in Kenya or about the Kenyatta political hegemony?
The top twenty richest men in Nigeria list is dominated by southerners not Northerners, Dangote is simply the richest today because he took the most advantage of Obasanjo's backward integration policies on cement, which you may call monopoly if you like, and Dangote has been in business since 1977.

TayserMahri:
Keep fooling yourself. Developed European & American cities get attacked what of lowly Abuja and Lagos?...

lf you know that even Europeans and America finds it hard to subdue terrorists then why do you and other Africans mock Nigeria over BokoHaram?
Five to Six years ago, Abuja also wasn't that safe from Boko Haram just like Nairobi isn't safe from Alshabaab currently.

Nigeria leads others in increasing number of millionaires population. lf you ask me l'll say this must be cooked data, because Nigeria is the world's poverty capital, and even if it's true then we must convert the % in this report to numbers per capita.

Good - but it appears BK & all those ISWA - are displacing thousands every week in North East - and here you claim they have been banished to Sambiza forests.

Yeah they are displacing thousands every weak and people do flee sometimes to Cameroon due to fear of course, that's what is expected because there is no safety at the moment.
My problem is with your use of the word "Control " and "North East".
Control would mean they still maintain the villages or towns they captured.
While North East includes other states apart from Borno like Adamawa ,Yobe, etc, and all of Borno including Maiduguri, but as it stands Boko Haram has not maintained any town in only Borno, but here you are shouting North East.

It's just that world has become so inured by Boko Haram atrocities in Nigeria it no longer make news. Maybe if they kidnap sweat little girls again would the world notice the atrocities they are committing daily, they've send 8m refugees out there in camps who are suffering from hunger and disease.

See how Boko Haram are having field days - just a week they overrun Rann & Bega towns.


Just few days ago - they overrun a northeast Nigerian town of Rann - your cowardly underfunded army - ran and left the town for Boko Haram.

The United Nations last week said more than 30,000 people fled after a similar attack in and around the Borno town of Baga in late December.

Nigeria's military recaptured the northeastern town of Rann yesterday after it was overrun by Islamic State West Africa (ISWA) insurgents a day earlier, weeks ahead of an election in which security has become a key campaign issue.

This is coming as the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said Monday evening attack on Rann by Boko Haram caused many to flee the town.

Nigerian government forces and residents fled during the ISWA attack as the militants set buildings ablaze, but troops fought back and regained control of Rann yesterday, agency reports quoted military and police sources as saying.

"Boko Haram invaded Rann at about 4 p.m (on Monday). The battle continued for about three hours. Our troops retreated and later returned to fight back," said a soldier who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Like l said, they fail to maintain wherever they cease in the ongoing war, you are not up to date.
l follow the news of insurgency daily, so l don't know why you think l wouldn't know about common news like Baga, you read the news that it was captured, but you didn't bother to read the one where it was retaken.

rvp20183:
First what big deal about Abuja or Lagos - Boko Haram are killing Nigerians every week - both civilian and army - and have send nearly 10M off their settlement as refugeees.

Why would they bother attack Abuja or Lagos when they control most of North East. Alshaabab use to leave Kenya alone when they controlled large swatches of Somali and had governors, levied taxes and the works. They only resorted to cowardly terror tactics when Kenya forces went for them. Otherwise they were busy fighting Somali gov in conventional warfar.

The day Boko haram is weaken - and they are far from being weaken - I think these year if you count the atrocities - it probably a thousands plus dead and hundrend thousands displaced - then they will resort to guerrila warfare.

Right now Boko haram are actually fighting a near conventional war with Nigeria army and winning.

Give me that part of the North East that is controlled by BokoHaram. What you mean is that they are in the North East and Sambisa, in the past they controlled towns and villages that were taken away from them from early 2015 and throughout that year, now in the ongoing battle they fail to maintain wherever they cease, they also have spies and elements across Borno State, because they once had the sympathy from a number of the uneducated masses there.
The North East has other states apart from Borno State, and even Borno State is a big state and has no where controlled by BokoHaram at the moment like we saw in the past, what you can say is that the citizens still live in fear because the war is still on, you can't say BokoHaram controls any town ( talkless of a city) in the state.

rvp20183:
Dangote factory in Tanzania or say Ghana - doesn't count as Nigeria's manufacturing sector. Whatever Dangote has in Nigeria is what counts.

lt's just like saying Chevron and Shell doesn't count outside the U.S and Britain, or that Total in Nigeria doesn't count for Frances.

NairobiWalker:
I guess intelligence is also not enough in Paris, London and New York right?

Everybody knows Nigeria is lucky the aim of Boko Haram is not to frustrate the Nigerian government like alshabaab but if something like this happened in Lagos or Abuja, it would be a complete bloodbath. Nigeria just doesn't have the mechanism to control this.

Also Boko Haram advanced to Abuja and the middle belt in the past and were coming down south, so they actually wanted to frustrate the Government.

Actually we do not pray for such, but what you should know is that Borno State has Sambisa forest at it's border which cuts across Cameroon and Chad, that border is porous, and Sambisa forest is more than twice the size of Lagos City, the major problem with BokoHaram issue is the failure of the Government in utilizing Sambisa or tightening the ever porous borders, this is why the North Eastern state of Borno and the surrounding Sambisa is a continous battle because there are also foreign West African factions and groups that comes from Chad and elsewhere to combine forces with BokoHaram in Sambisa.
BokoHaram is just one name, there are other factions like lSWAP( Islamic West African group), who dwell around the lake Chad and attack villages in Borno at once in their hundreds.

How do you establish sharia law in modern democracy.The Northern political, religous $ military elite are in bed with BK or working together to achieve the sharia law over north Nigeria.The gov is looking aside as Fulani herdsmen kill thousands and displace millions.The southerners are routinely killed up the north.The media has been silenced.The global media doesnt care.The southerners are escaping nigeria like there was a war.They are emigrating all over the world.The biafran civil war will surely come once the oil music stops.

Seriously you don't know what you are saying? l guess you read this Bullshit from some online lpob news and now you're disgracing yourself, stick to what you know or you provide proof of the southerners specifically targeted in the North or that as a result of this so called southern killings, Nigerians are emigrating all over the world, you continually spew rubbish you can't prove.

rvp2018:
I know many things from basic research.Boko Haram are allowed to control the north east.It like CIA funding and killing terrorist depending on the short-term interest.You army is corrupt as Kenyan police from it's long history of coups.Alshaabab are maybe 5 times more deadly than Boko Haram.That why even CIA or US fear them.

CIA and U.S.A do not fear alshabaab, just that the U.S are in the business of helping smaller countries against terrorism, however the war against BokoHaram have been largely the effort of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad.

BokoHaram doesn't control the North East my friend. What do you call North East and what do you mean by control??

rvp2018:
Alshabaab are more deadly than Boko Haram.Nigeria army is corrupt.It more like our police force.Nigeria army and leadership from the north are using BK & Fulani herdsmen to intimidate the South so they can continue milking the Niger Delta oil.No way ragtag Boko Haram can hold ground without the support of Northern Nigerians top dogs.

Lol how do you know all these? because majority of the BokoHaram killings have been in the North( specifically Yobe and Borno state). They hardly got to Abuja and l can't even remember them killing anywhere in the South. There may however be a little truth to your theory that there are Northern top dogs sponsoring BokoHaram or that the Army has corrupt elements prolonging the battle, but BokoHaram has never operated in the South(to the best of my knowledge, and l may be wrong). Fulani Herdsmen issue however is a bit more complex.

why not sign ecowas custom union $ africa free trade if you have good manufacturing base.YOU CANNOT EVEN COMPETE WITH UGANDA WHO HAVE 4500 PLUS MANUFACTURERS.Kenya is on another level.That you can actually attempt to list your companies here show how small base you got to cover.kenya i think has 500k companies registered or some crazy big number like that.

But you were shown the statistics a while ago,

South Africa has 300 indigenous firms.
Nigeria is second with 192, then Egypt and Morocco.
I think Kenya was 7th in Africa with just 55.

NairobiWalker:
Apparently, Nigerians know English more than the British because they beat them at scrabble - based on your logic. Why are you Nigerians so stupid?

English is not our mother tongue in Africa and there's nothing to be proud of in being good at English, yet Kenyans and Ghanians here criticize Nigerian English, especially the Ghanians who have been fooled to believe they know and use the language better.
My Point is Nigerians generally may not care about speaking English like native speakers, but in literature we have been global( much more than your Kenya and Ghana), even in things like scrabble which is specifically focussed on the knowledge of the language, we find ourselves competing with pure native speakers.

He said there are more Kenyans in Ivy Leagues than Nigerians

He measures music revenue per capita

He measures road km per capita

He measures rail km per capita

He gave us a fraudulent list of Kenyan companies in Nigeria.

He said nigerian banks in Kenya are running at loss only for me to prove him wrong.

He said 90% of Nigerians bleach

He said lupita gross more than Nollywood per year

He said Kenyans are more competitive than Nigerians only for me to show him that we have more local companies than Kenya.

Oh he is a genius all right. Just a Kenyan genius!

He said Ethiopia is more or less a desert
