Now I understand why South Korea had to break away.



Anything "North" has always been a problem to the world!

They didn't break away. The US and Russia split Korea into two.

AbibiNwa:
The West will never tell you that in North Korea:
1. Education is free and mandatory at all levels.
2. House is free for all citizens
3. Transportation is free for all citizens.
4. Rice is free for all citizens.
5. There is a joint military base of US and S. KOREA at their border.
......and the list goes on and on.

Finally someone with sense

Everybody is just spewing trash about how North Korea is this and that.

Most of the info put there are just lies and speculations. If people are hardly allowed into North Korea and they're followed by governments officials everywhere they go. Then how was this information gathered

The west is just looking for a reason to tag North Korea as a country with a ruthless and evil leader.

And then use their age long strategy of 'liberating the people'

ChieduJoshua081:
com what is ur problem? Why did u say that? Dont u support it? eh? How many times has Drake come to Nigeria to do his music here? How many times has sam smith, Ed sheran, Adele, Beyonce left their country to come and do their business in Nigeria? Cant u see that some Nigerians are senseless?

I don't know about music.

But a lot of Americans act their movies in 'good' African countries.

Captain America (Civil war)
Blended
Blood diamond (This one was even shot in Mozambique)

These are just few examples

Have you asked yourself why these guys never shoot their movies in Nigeria?

Another potential looter

mtcheww yeyebrities and notice me attitude.

I wan do ritual, I am finding some of the thing requested hard to find, so nairalander, any one who can help me get any of these item.

1) mensuration pad of a money

2) a blind and albino mosquito

3) an adult virgin dog

4) egg of a bat.

tanx in anticipation

In your mind, you think no 3 is impossible.

My Dog is a virgin

signz:
I think hes just having fun. Though I understand the point that the flood is an embarrassment.

But imagine if our Lagoons and rivers are kept clean, these oyibo guys will be Kayaking there instead of praying for for flood. This is the 2nd oyibo man riding I saw online riding a boat/kayak in this flood. This is tourism opportunity.

Ambode (all state governors)should look into cleaning all Lagoons, rivers, streams and advertise that the state is open for sports like Kayaking and other boat riding sporting activities. Huge tourism potential there.

Almost every state in Nigeria has a river. We can even develop athletes that represent us in Boat competitions in the olympics.

Great idea.... But our leaders don't have this kind of sense

If they're not fighting themselves. They're planning on how to loot the money meant for all Nigerians

Wrong! I'm an Arsenal Fan.

And at my previous job. We had a lot of football fans (Even a lady).

Aside from that.... The other points are solid.

SycophanticGoat:
You're such a bloody liar! Akoko Edo is the home of Igarra tribe of Edo state (distinct from Igala of Kogi and related more to Ebira of Kogi and Auchi people due to boundary sharing and proximity).

They have a completely distinct language. That you found Yoruba immigrants there doesn't make it a Yoruba land. Stop spewing lies here and there about Akoko Edo.

I'm taking exception to these lies simply because my best friend and business partner was born and brought up in Akoko Edo and is married to an Akoko Edo lady.

You can say that every other part of Edo is Yoruba and I won't reply you but never you mention Akoko Edo again!

Cc @ZaraGift don't be misinformed by this deceitful and lying creature please.

I won't even argue with you. Since it's Obvious that you can make a valid point without resorting to cheap insults

Research about IBILO and find out the language and Culture of the people that live there and the L.G.A it belongs to in Edo state.

ZaraGift:
ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY PEOPLE FROM AKOKO EDO L.G.A ARE YORUBA PEOPLE? HOPE YOU KNOW THAT ONDO IS NOT FULL YORUBA STATE JUST LIKE KWARA?

Which one is "Ondo is not a full Yoruba state". I've never heard that before

Yes that's what i'm saying (Akoko Edo)

LaExpert:
There are Yorubas who are indigenes of Edo state.

They're just a minority anyway.

Now just imagine the greater Yorubas trying to claim the whole Edo as Yoruba because of the little Minority there.

That's exactly what Igbos are trying to do to the Niger Delta Region.

Borders can never be Drawn perfectly, Similar groups would of people will definitely be Divided. Its up to them to Decide where they Belong if the borders need to be marked out again.

Igbos just want to use style and attach themselves to Niger Delta because of OIL WEALTH

ZaraGift:
THERE ARE NO YORUBA IN EDO

Then what is Akoko Edo

Are they Igbo.....mtchewwww

GodIsBiafran:
Another Yoruba man

Why do u allow ur hate for the Hausa and Yoruba Folks Blind you and becloud ur reasoning?

Anyone that doesn't support ur view is immediately tagged Yoruba or Hausa....that's why they call u guys Igbos, Igbos and Unity beggars. Some of u behave like u brain is truly Flat.

Is it by force to Unite with the Igbos. We don't don't trust the Igbos because they're very dubious. They're good and reasonable people among you.
But we're not ready for experiments.

Just take ur Biafra and go.

Pidgin2:
Hahaha you are funny. You think people who do not speak your language will be one and the same with you? Hahahaha it's best Igbo nation try to look beyond Niger Delta, if not another failure awaits Kanu and the rest


Good luck to you all, as for me I remain

Proudly Nigerian

I don't know why they're trying so hard to prove that Igbo is part of Niger Delta.

Them don speak English, Bring coloured map....Even black and white one

We no gree. Its not by force to Unite

The truth of the matter is that the OP is correct.

But we all know the reason why the Igbos are suddenly interested in the Niger Delta.

There are Yorubas in Edo State but can they lay claim to the whole Edo state or use that to Unite the two states? No because they're a minority there.

That's exactly what the Igbos are trying to do. Yes they have minority Igbo groups there, but you can't use that as a reason to claim Unity.

Even if the minority Igbos there want to reunite with the majority outside the Niger Delta that's fine. (I know the ikwerres don't want to)

But the other tribes in the Niger Delta Don't want to unite with the Igbo's....Simple


WE NO WANT UNA....THE MINORITY CAN CARVE OUT THEIR LAND AND GO BACK TO THEIR BROTHERS, BUT I KNOW NO IJAW, BINI, ITSEKIRI, ISOKO, URHOBO WANTS TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE IGBOS.

abdulwastecx:
I just hate this slave mentality of most of us, Nigeria was never better under the British. At independence in 1960, how many megawatts of electricity was been generated for a population of over 55m? how many motorable road do we have? how many universities do we have? what was Nigeria per capital income in 1960? At independent Nigerians inherit a deeply divided nation built on divide and rule system with no strong institutions.

Oga shutup and Ask your parents If Nigeria in their Time wasn't better than what they're seeing today.
Except you want to call your parents and all Nigerian parents alive @ that time fools!

9jakohai:
Me , I am not in support of restructuring....but not because it is a bad idea...or a wrong idea. (I also don't like secession, but one of the reasons why I gave up on the 2014 conference was because they said secession is off the agenda. )

Infact, the governor of Ebonyi state has given good reasons why Nigeria cannot restructure.....overdependence on Abuja and by extension Niger Delta Oil for their daily needs...plus a poor IGR base.

(Mind you...that shows that Ebonyi governors are not doing well at all for their state.If Fashola could increase Lagos' IGR massively in his time in office as Lagos state governor...why can't Ebonyi...or Osun for that matter. Governors are Nigeria's problem).

But the main reason why I don't back this restructuring thing is

1.People who talk of restructuring promptly start talking of returning to regions.....the idea being that the region would benefit from the resources it produces. That is going to lead to Niger Delta being used to benefit the old Eastern region....and that runs counter to the current resource control agitation.(You see why many Minorites are avoiding Biafra...even though it might techincally benefit them better than Nigeria...because no Biafran agitaitonist has clearly explained how they will handle the resource control issue in Biafra. You can abuse me now...but it is the truth. No Biafra...until Kanu and IPOB address that question).

2.You think that if we return to regions....every region will suddenly develop its resources like that? It took decades for the North to become a groundnut and cotton producing region. By the time of Independence...the SOuth West and South East thad taken 80 years to become the major producers of cocoa and palm oil they were. What I am saying is...restructuring basically amounts to one part of the country telling others to go and starve for the next several decades...while they enjoy oil money (I am from the SOuth South by the way). That is the real reason why the Hausas are not backing restructuring...because they know that it would leave them seriously broke.....and that in turn could create crisis that would affect the rest of the country.

That is why you cannot have restructuring without sorting out the resources quesiton...the way new states back in the day used to sort out the dividing up of assets. To not do that is sucidal and unrealistic.

3.And anyway....Nigeria's economic system is seriously faulty.

You know...the reason, why we do not have light and water 24/7, is because it does not impact seriously on our ability to make money for the treasury. Developed countries have light and water in abundance because if they don't .....their ability to make money for their treasury would be impacted.

This one in Nigeria where we sell groundnut, oil, cocoa, cassava, palm oil, yams, etc...and share the money...when we should be using what we have to make manufactured goods that COULD potentially earn us MUCH MORE MONEY...and even be MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL to our politicians and elites. But most Nigerians are short sighted....they see money as something to be shared...not something to be made, and dobuled. And until we become self sufficent, and less resource dependent...restructuring, even peaceful secession...would be impossible. Yes...Czechoslovakia split peacefully.....because both parts were already dependent on manufacturing, and innovation.Nigeria were we are dependent on sharing money...what is going to happen to the North when it is cut off from Niger Delta oil? How about Igboland? South West too would suffer. North Central too as well.

My issue with Nigerians is....better focus on making the current structure better. Vote wisely, harass your leaders, deal with the corrupt, and make sure your people do what you voted them for. Restructuring , as it is now....won't save you.

You've made a lot of sense!

Sadly South Easterners are too blinded by their Hate for the Northerner's that they can't see that their Leaders are the problem. If Our Leaders are sincere with themselves the current money allocated to all states is enough to take care of everbody (Salaries) and everything (Infrastructure). But instead they just loot the money and use the balance to keep the state afloat.

Can you Imagine A Whole Bayelsa State with it's huge allocations and small population and Land mass finds it difficult to pay salaries. CMON WHO ARE WE DECEIVING. EVEN IF WE RESTRUCTURE THREE TIMES IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE ALREADY CORRUPT SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW.

A lot of Igbo people (That haven't travelled to other parts of Nigeria) have been lied to by God knows who (Their friends, family and their leaders) that Igbo land is better than a lot of places in Nigeria WHEN IT'S THE WORST REGION.

Trust me i've been to Major states in all regions of Nigeria, and the Eastern Region is the WORST OF THEM ALL. The only viable state in the East in Enugu. The rest are struggling.

Imagine someone telling you that Imo State is more beautiful than Kaduna

OUR LEADERS ARE THE MAIN PROBLEM WE HAVE IN NIGERIA TODAY.....NOT RESOURCE CONTROL AND MARGINALIZATION

nonsobaba:
When lesser igbos are given a little authority in igbo political affairs, this is the kind of disgrace they bring to us.

You see why I said Nobody wants to associate with Igbo's for anything.

Even among themselves, there's still tribalism (Or what do I call this).

And you want other ss minority tribes to join you in your imaginary republic. Yet you refer to people as 'lesser Igbos'.

While the wealth that Lagos state bragged about will vanish into thin air and poverty walks around in broad day light

So people will just run away and leave their business's in Lagos because of 'restructuring "

Oga use sense naaaa abeg

wristbangle:
Why are u awake at 3.24a.m for F sake?

But I stand to be corrected, is restructuring not something of regional scope where each states in a region will harness it's resources to feed themselves?

As for secession, I oppose it but judging from the frustration, anger and hunger in the country, one may have a rethink it's better to form a nation of its own. Still the masses especially the IPOB are naive to see that their frustration should be expressed to their corrupt leaders, same for arewa and oduduwa youths instead we are fighting each other while elites merry in wealth.

Mehn!!!!! Finally someone who understands. Our leaders are the one's who put us in this Mess. I DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE IS SO BLIND TO THIS.

raker300:
read your history man. Rivers was part of the south east.

There're igbos still living there and call it home.

How can someone be attachee to his own tribe?

It sounds silly

So because una plenty for another man land, you've now tagged it "Home" and they must follow you to Your new Republic?

farmgate:
I agreed with you that some igbos are in Rivers but not all SS states belong to Biafra. State like Edo, Balyesa, Delta. Referendum today those state won't go with Biafra take it or leave it

Sorry to do this Aproko Lol

Yes Igbos are in Rivers, but the Real Natives of Rivers State are Not Igbo. Even those that have Igbo ancestry don't want to be seen as Igbos.

I'll give an example with Elele. Due to it's Proximity to Imo State there are a lot of Igbos there. but the Natives there Have Refused to accept and see themselves as Igbos.

This is not dem say dem say, I had many Ikwerre friends in School then. They always reject it vehemently when you call them Igbo. Even though they bear Igbo Names

From Wikipedia

The Ikwerre (also spelt Ikwere) are one of the many native ethnic groups in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. They are subgroup of the Igbo people, although a small minority for political expediency now dispute this account


They don't want to Join Biafra because they know they're going to suffer the same Marginalization that the Igbos are currently crying about. I don't know why it's so hard for IPOB and Pro-Biafra people to Accept that Nobody wants to associate with them

What is the intention of the OP of this thread?

Where is the Fancy here?

You're just trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. MTCHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Well i just Thank God My parents are not like that.

But that doesn't mean i'll allow my Elder one's rest sha

Me i just dey look them dey laugh. Thank God all the Niger Delta groups are coming out to dissociate themselves from Igbo's and Biafra

They should just carry their wahala and go.

[quote author=Ikwerreboy post=57898678][/quote]I dey tell them say Ikwerre boy fit slap you if you call am Igbo. They said i was lying.

If you take out Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River and AkwaIbom State. Biafra is a landlocked country. Simple!

milantustorin:
I read ur comment and seriously u spoke like someone that has not pass Ore before, I keep on seeing,i heard this,I heard that.U haven't even travelled to the East to see with ur own eyes...But i have also heard a Yoruba Christian (a pastor) saying that some of their Muslim brother had once caution them, telling them that they can dominate them with their massive population if they wanted ...

For your info i schooled in the East and when i say i heard "People arguing" i meant the Igbo people in my school.

There's nothing in the East to be proud About. The Only reasonable place I've been to is Enugu. I've been to Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, Awka. They're all waste dumps. Especially Owerri. The only thing is Owerri is Keke Napep, Prostitute houses and Hotels. Everything is really expensive Compared to the Northern states that you guys are calling Parasites.

I can Boldly tell you that transport and food is cheaper in Abuja/Kaduna/Nassarawa/Benue than Owerri. Is it the Northern parasites that caused that also?

You people should stop deceiving yourself and face the truth. Igbo land is the way it is because of your greedy Governors and Senators Not because of any Marginalization (Don't get me wrong, The Marginalization exists) But If the Igbos want to make their Region great again. It starts from getting rid of All i mean ALLLLLL their current leaders. It's even Obvious to anyone that analyses the situation.

Your Governor's and Senators are still Championing One Nigeria despite all that has been happening.

The Money allocated t o all states in Nigeria is enough to take care of them Sufficiently but Nigerian leaders (Not just the Igbo leaders) are too corrupt that's the major problem we have in Nigeria.

I can promise you today that if an Igbo man is allowed to rule Nigeria all this Biafra and IPOB Nonsense will die down!.
Though i don't ever see that happening in the nearest future. Nobody trusts the Igbos enough to allow them rule Nigeria. Personally i don't.
