y2kaustin:
and why are you guys praising a man that lead you guys to a suicide and manslaughter mission?and later Cowardly ran away?Only for my tribe man to do what is honorable,and he is the true Hero,better wake up.

I do not think Ibibio are stupid as you are trying to buttress. Effiong was in position to do what anybody in his position would have done. Only a fool such as you would think Biafra was Igbo affair or current Boko Haram menace in northern region is exclusively targeted against Ndigbo.

maasoap:
Shame on you people, Ibos!!! You thought this protest would not achieve anything but Yorubas and Hausas have proved it that power belongs to the people, at least in democratic dispensation. Those who died didn't die for nothing as most coward Ibos taunted. And we will use this miscalculation of yours to taunt you on nairaland for many months, years to come. Shame on Seun too, who failed to see another SAP in the making. Remember, many countries are now practising mixed economy, you can't just leave masses faith and everything in the hands of few greedy capitalists in the name of deregulation and development. If GEJ really wants development, he should tackle corruption. Subsidy for 160m people is not a burden, corruption is.

Has it occurred to a conniving dullard such as you that Ndigbo wanted, among other things, disintegration of Nigeria? You can shove the cesspit called Nigeria into your dumbass for a change.

@merengue

I had thought Dayokanu is the most idiotic person to navigate to nairaland, guess what; I am close to the mark. In fact, the honor of most idiotic person ever to approach nairaland goes to you.

If I had not been to a typical village in Urhobo, curiosity would have become my drink because you posited a typical village in Igbo is overrun by empty mansions. At least, the mansion-dotted landscape of typical Igbo village is better than thatch houses laden with gallons of “Akamere” that grace typical Urhobo village.

Igbo stood forefront in a war against Nigeria and yet were able to achieve what you enumerated in your post including the positions such as Vice President of Nigeria, President of Senate etc. May I ask you which political positions were willed to Urhobo in the cesspit called Nigeria even when the Urhobo people served as water-boys to soldiers from northern region during Nigeria/Biafra war?

Remember that Ndigbo and Biafrans fought to bring Nigeria to its knees. Are you lost on the sentiment to bringing Nigeria to its weakling knees has not departed from Ndigbo?

If you were not regrettably moronic or schooled to think crude oil belongs to certain section of Nigeria, you would have realized that the killings of southerners and christians in the northern region of Nigeria by Boko Haram carry more important weight to Ndigbo than the hike in fuel price.

When you wrote Igbo land is landlocked and informed us you performed national youth service in Oru West LGA, you created a huge doubt in my mind about your academic background. Even my fourth grade child knew Igbo land is not landlocked. By the way, there is nothing or sign in physical geography that tilts economical advantage from landlocked countries to the ones with miles of coastal lanes. I have known many well-meaning and good-nutured sons and daughters of Urhobo land, you are not a true son or daughter of Urhobo land.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=845200.msg9956668#msg9956668 date=1326466260]@OP The story is completely baseless and false. The lying lawyer cannot prove that biafra did not import petrol/diesel during the war. It is very easy to prove that biafra refined oil - where is the proof? That lawyer is probably Dede1 perfecting his revisionism on TV. olodo[/quote]Nwanne, what has driven you to this unkindly state of desperation? Only a fool does not know Nigeria blanketed Biafra with a water-tight blockage which did not allow the passage of mere Excedrin talk much of ocean-going tanker.

The aforementioned lawyer was eloquently hard on facts about Biafra and importation of oil. In addition to the makeshift refineries, Biafra developed agro-based fuel from palm oil.

I urge you to abandon the failed and unfortunate project called Nigeria.

@OP

Back to the topic of the thread, it will allow me the opportunity to become a national of different country from Blazey a.k.a Lasinoh.

noblezone:
You guys are so funny & uninformed.

1. Our enocomy in the South East is more of entreprenuership than civil service & oil companies. Most of our income is not slary based. We work hard, and I mean that we work hard. If fuel increases, our goods & services will also increase. Market forces will simply help us to balance up,

2. We have more concerns for now than subsidy. We can't cant be demostrating agaist a policy that will save the lives of our brothers. Subsidized fuel is smuggled accross borders in exchange for arms & bombs used by Nigerians to kill our brothers. We are in mourning mood.

3. Subsidy is not worth dying for. When NLC/TUC calls for a protest against 8oko Haram, and all the senless slaughtering of our brothers, then we can join.

4. Those championing these protects are the ones that ruined goverment parastertals. Its the members of the NLC that ran down the refineries, NITEL, NEPA/PHCN, etc.

5. Project Nigeria has failed, we are busy brain storming on alternative.

Em, one more thing. Jonathan will surely bring an end to free oil, its only a matter of time.

In addition, when the idiotic leadership of NLC/TUC deemed it necessary to spend 500 billion naira on luxurious buses built in south east via INNOSON MOTORS instead of the buses built in Republic of China.

canuck:
Thanks philip0906 and Mr. Globe. May be a a good number of Eastern leaders were paid-off, and that will explain why Igbo top-shots are not supporting FSR.

But GEJ can't buy the common man in all Eastern states.

Igbos are naturally egalitarian, independently-minded people who are not easily led by their noses by their leaders. So, even if their leaders are "settled", the people will still protest.

It appears that the common man in Eastern Nigeria does not identify. Why?

There are more important things that occupy average Igbo person’s mind such as “Abandon Property” in Port Harcourt, Rivers State than a hike in price of fuel.

Lasinoh:
They have learned their lessons.
Never have anything to do with the owners of Nigeria(Hausa and Yoruba)!
Abi you want over 2million of them to make faces like 'abandoned property and project' 2 years for again?

Because, they are Biafrans. . . living in Northern Nigeria. Not Nigerians.

Sometimes you sound intelligent while many other times goofy.

@ philip0906 and Mr. Globe
If both of you fancy Nigeria as paradise and honestly call yourselves Igbo, why have you not protested against the abandoned property policy in PH, River State?

T8ksy:
Thank you for at last admitting what we yorubas have always known and that is the fact that you ibos had a hand in

jailing Awo and most of his top party members for a phantom coup plot which you moraphockers later executed few years later.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, the same ibos (in colloboration with their aboki master) who had awo jailed for what he was not guilty of now

said they carried out the jan 15th coup to install Awo as the PM. Yeah right!!!

Like i have always opined, you ibos are smart but your main problem is that you think all others are dummies.

Unfgortunately, for you lot, others can smell your "smartness", miles away hence the abokis are always using you guys for target practice

whenever its their "full moon".

You are a conniving slimy maggot who seemed to be inflicted with dementia. If there is any group of people used for target practice by aboki, I guess your stock of people comes to mind. Yoruba peeps were the first people to be murdered by Boko Haram in northern region yet the loudmouths did not spit about it. It has been a pattern of inherent display of silence even when the son of the soil was murdered in the capital city of anticipated Oduduwa republic.

CyberG:
Dede. . . it's your nemesis calling! I gave a suggestion and you extremist folks say I am not "Igbo" enough, I should confirm my tribe, etc? Okay, no problem. On this same NL, you people have upped the ante on war and violence and while I and others tried to speak objectively, you are the leader of the tribal fight. Well, the war you have been calling for is now nigh and the gauntlet has been thrown, so pick it up and I want to see you lead from the FRONT! You will now see that war is not a piece of cake and the violence will far exceed 1967-1970. I don't want to give more advice because I know it will only end-up with you and your marauding tribal warriors abusing and insulting every contrary opinion.

I am not yet sold on the current political shenanigans in Nigeria instigated by those who felt they have been wrongly robbed through the election of GEJ to presidency. From your clone of erroneously self-acclaimed military expertise, I believe you did not suggest commencement of a shooting war because goons in your social class have decided to breach the public peace in Nigeria. Ndigbo do not need the advice of a punk who can hardly differentiate child’s play from shooting war.

If you beat the drum of war simply because of a hike in price of fuel in Nigeria, I am afraid you still think violence as a form of war is likened to “operation watie”.

I have fought in one war already and would not mind another. I say without doubts that any current war in Nigeria will be as violent or exceed the 1967-1970 attrition but it will be short-lived because many sections of Nigeria have grown few senses they lacked in 1967.

The amalgam of my political philosophy towards Nigeria was shaped by the causes and battles of Nigeria/Biafra civil war. I have never and will never believe in the unity of Nigeria or the phantom known as one-Nigeria.

There are no bases for unity in Nigeria because of distinct cultural orientations among different ethnic groups that share territories within Nigeria. Ndigbo will never engage in acts of wanton destruction of lives or properties belonging to other ethnicities leaving among them in Igbo land on the pretence that rigged elections in Nigeria did not pan out according their wishes.

Even if Ndigbo jump onto reprisal attacks by killing innocent Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri who seek means of livelihood in Igboland, it will not change a thing. There have been such silly and senseless attacks and counterattacks which had resulted in lost of lives before now and yet nothing changed in Nigeria with respect to ethnic relationship as it affacts religion, culture and polity.

Any massive retaliatory measure undertaken by Ndigbo in order to settles scores with idiotic Boko Haram without creating a national boundaries between both sides shall remain a waste of time because we shall come back to it again since there will be more elections in Nigeria and definitely will not go according to the wishes of certain folks.

Based on the irreconcilable differences among ethnic groups in Nigeria, I have adamantly and resolutely concluded Nigeria’s political solution lies in the simple act of disintegration.

Nigeria is occupied by deluded and comical individuals. Good numbers of them are in the news print business and visit nairaland very often. In addition, they are very despicable and shameless in their futile attempt to make current saga in Nigeria an Igbo affair.

Where are the corpses of the thousands of Ndigbo murdered by Boko Haram in northern region of Nigeria? It is funny the ethnically biased Nigerian news media houses have not shown any corpse transported to Igbo land yet.

Aigbofa: Denial is not the solution this serious problem. You can deny it all you want, but the truth is the truth.

How is this even possible?

There is nothing for Ndigbo to deny about the current saga in Nigeria. I can assure you that Ndigbo will definitely react toward misdeeds manifested by the actions of any ethnic tah caused death of Igbo person especially when corpses of murdered Igbo people arrived in Igbo land. Unlike most other Nigerians, Ndigbo will not bury their dead in foreign land. When dead bodies start to arrive in Igbo land, cheap press releases embarked upon by loudmouths will not be needed.

Ndigbo will not be spurred into action of wanton distruction of properties and lives because one airhead is cracking up unfounded rumors and innuendos about killings of Ndigbo in the northern region of Nigeria.

@OP

Yes, Ndigbo are cowards yet you and your peeps have not started a shooting war, olodo. What the hell stopped you and your ethnic group from commencing a war in the cesspit called Nigeria?

@OP

I guess certain Nigerians are the most hopeless, idiotic and foolish human beings on earth. If the alleged news of selective killing of Ndigbo in northern region is remotely true, Igbo land would have been flooded with corpses of Ndigbo from the northern region by now. I do not think northern region of Nigeria is exclusively populated by Igbo stock from southern Nigeria to mandate such pinpointed attack.

I urge other Nigerians to deal with ills of One-Nigeria and leave Ndigbo and Biafarns out of it.

alj harem:
Are we in a dictatorship government when people cannot protest again.

There is nothing about dictatorship during the arrest of anybody who tends to engage in the breach of public peace. Anybody who engages in the breach of public peace will be arrested in countries capable of practicing democratic system of government talk less of mere geographical expression such as Nigeria. Please quit fooling yourself about Nigeria and rule of law. Not all protests are legal

@OP

Ndigbo will denounce Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe after they have thoroughly denounced the presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo. You must remember Ndigbo voted for Obasanjo too.

alj harem:
as for the north; yes certainly and they know. Insha Allah

They need to know that people would only follow you irrespective of religion and tribe IF YOU LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM

You cannot support the increase because GEJ is Igbo or so. It is morally wrong

[b]NLC South east has done a terrible job betraying Nigeria by calling off the strike in the south east. I mean it is called NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS not South east labour congress thus they have to follow orders but did not[/b]Do you know today there was activitive in asaba while warri is a ghost town ?

another foolish statement they make is that fuel has always been expensive in the east thus they support it. How foolish indeed. If fuel was even 100 naira in the east, now it would be 250 naira or even more. although that is a lie as usual.

I brought fuel in Anambra state before and even the most rural area fuel was sold for 70-80 naira maximum, so spreading lies that fuel was 100 naira in the east is just funny but people chose to ignore them. Imagine another say pure water was always 10 or 20 naira in the east when I bought it for 5 naira in nnewi

I dey laugh o

It is disingenuously reprehensible and unacceptable display of idiocy on your attempt to invoke words such as betrayal and NLC in the sentence with South east of Nigeria. It was not too long ago when the same NLC/TUC leadership opted to buy luxurious buses from China instead of buses manufactured in South east via INNOSON.

NLC is worse than betrayal; they are evil to Nigeria and its labor force. NLC should not worry about south east of Nigeria; it should concentrate all efforts on the welfare of the labor force in China.

lagcity:
b4 nko? of course we'll take the lead becos we are naturals at that and this is our kontry, u ppl are just tenants. we don't wait for others like the igbos who wait to see if yorubas are with them or not. but know this, we don't wanna hear any whining from you ppl when we are done with all these and are reaping the rewards. i know u igbo folks well, u have the whining DNA in you.

The above post and remarks exude the traits of irredeemable coward and inherent loudmouthed punk. Until your stock of people precipitates ordinary and innocuous coup d’etat in Nigeria, you shall remain what we all know you to be.

dmainboss:
They are back biters and backstabbers? The last time I checked, they were betrayed by your forefathers. Remember the Aburi Accord? You must be 5 years old. This is the time for the south west to take the lead. The rest of us will just sit back and watch. When you get there, let us know. And please dont talk to us about loyalty because you really are short on that. I wouldnt stake my 2 cents on you.

It has not reached to the point of shooting war and they are already pained to the point of branding certain people “backbiters and backstabbers”. I really wonder what would become of them if this child’s play will degenerate into war of attrition. I vividly remembered who their forbearers supported during the first war of attrition in Nigeria. I guess it takes one silly backstabber to recognize another.

diluminati:
@Chyz

Talk sense into your igbo people's head. Why are they confusing Nigeria? Why are they drawing back and not joining the fight wholeheartedly? why are they backstabbers and backbiters? Is it because they put GEJ there or the fake igbo alliance in 'ebere azikiwe'? If you want us in the south and the west to join you in the fight for liberation, you guys better know where your loyalty lies or you guys will fight alone!

What is actual the issue in staging a strike? If you think of it as removal of fuel subsidy, then you are grossly ignorant. Fuel subsidy does not exist in Nigeria.
As a matter of fact, there is no any form of subsidy that exists in the cesspit called Nigeria.

What Nigeria is experiencing now is increase in prices of crude oil byproducts such PMS (Premium Motor Spirit). I guess the entire Nigerian public had been hoodwinked through nonsensical nomenclature.

Today’s nonsensical call for strike is akin to 1965 crisis in western and northern regions of Nigeria and we all knew how it went down. Your forebears did not join the southeast in 1967 and you will be foolish enough to think the people of southeast will expect the so-called south and west to join them in future.

dayokanu:
You are definitely retardded.

benjamin Adekunle fought a war in 1968 that made Abacha and IBB become presidents 20yrs later? Are you having a laugh at your legendary stupidity?

Maybe if those uncles of yours like Ifeajuna, Nwobosi, Nzeogwu etc havent staged a coup to eliminate a civilian regime, we wouldnt have a military rule that Nzeribe and Daniel Kanu supported

I am actually having a laugh at your incurable stupidity and zero intellect. There is no doubt history turns you into a retarded dummy. If I may recall correctly, the coup which IBB and Abacha were the principle participants was the one Ojukwu resisted which led to the civil war.

I hope your peanut brain could remember which side of the war your father, uncle, brothers, nephew and aunts fought and supported, agbaya.

A healthy competition shall exist among emerging nation states. Also, people of each nation would like to emulate one another in areas of comparable interest and ideas such as election of visionary and quality leadership.

The citing of functional points of contacts with outside world without political or tribal inhibition would usher rapid development. I recently went through the so-called Port Harcourt International Airport; the entire place looked like abandoned crack house.

The patriotism lost on Nigeria by many Nigerians will be vigorously reinvented on the new and emerging nations. People would want to sacrifice their time and money to the development of the nation they can proudly call home.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=674760.msg9935798#msg9935798 date=1326210182]It is depressing to me that some unfortunate events in the 1800s and certain biased decisions by the British really fvcked over a lot of people.

Articles like this make me hate the British, Fulani and Hausa and wish for their destruction.[/quote]How soon you forgot the exploits of your kinsmen in the so-called debacle at Ore? Water has already gone under the bridge. The mere insinuation of phantom federalism in Nigeria remains a political copout. Anything short of disintegration of the colonial contraption called Nigeria is unacceptable.

My pain remains how ready and well-armed are Nigbo in case the shooting war erupts? I have known for long time there is no iota of bases for unity in the cesspit called Nigeria.

dayokanu:
Did Nzeribe serve under IBB?

Rather Nzeribe was the one who raised the motion for a free and fair election to be cancelled.

Did Daniel kanu serve under Abacha?

Rather it was Daniel kanu who started the movement Youth earnestly ask for Abacha to make the dictator transform into Life President

We see who they are

Saboteurs, Sychophants its in their genes

Talk to elders those that are old enough to enlighten you on the role Nzeribe and Daniel Kanu played in this nations history

Are you demented? How soon could you forget your uncle, Benjamin Adekunle, fought a war in order to foist the regimes of IBB and Abacha on Nigeria, olodo?

Why would southeast traders get involve in a public disturbance because of the removal of phantom fuel subsidy while no Nigerian does anything when federal government promulgates policies that ban importation of goods and services which directly affect the traders? 

Southeast would not give a hoot if federal government decides to ban extraction of crude oil. In fact in some communities in southeast, crude oil exploration has been violently resisted talk less of fuel subsidy. The same fools that fought Nigeria/Biafra civil war because of crude oil are once again at it.

otokx:
the east is igboland not the south south

This is yet another statement that exudes wanton load of ignorance. There is Igbo land within the so-called south-south. There is no ethnic group that lay exclusive claim to the nonsensical south-south jargon.

At least, Igbo can exclusively lay claim on one region in the cesspit called Nigeria. It will be welcome closure on your self-denial if you can spit your ethnicity.

otokx:
The south south is ashamed for GEJ and we own the oil not the east so get your facts right.

The statement in the above post is eloquently ignorant.

Someone needs to inform this idiotic minister of works that Nigeria does not necessarily need another refinery. Nigeria should get its three exiting refineries operational and functional. It will amount to another idiotic waste to build three new refineries that would not remain operational in three months after they were commissioned.
