you are a liar ,awolowo didn't help nor establish middle belt , u thought we destroyed d history , no we didnt, am a great student of history, we all know how awolowo led afonjas sabotaged Gideon orkars plan that would make southern Niger greater than china

Yari.ba are not tagged loudmouth for nothing. Awolowo and Action Group were everywhere with wrong intentions. Awolowo, Action Group and cronies opposed the creation of Midwestern region.

What has Owerri being provincial headquarters of wherever got to do with level of urbanization of Owerri when Imo state was created; and Umuahia more developed and more urbanized than Owerri then?

No argument that Umuahia was more developed with industries and more urbanized than Owerri in 1976 when old Imo state that included Umuahia was created.

Even till today, Owerri has no industry of repute - only hotels that useless young university students.

After creation of old Imo state with Owerri, not Umuahia as capital, Owerri got more urbanized than Umuahia because of all universities and polytechnics in Imo state that got located in Owerri through primitive greed of Owerri people who lobbied for them and never gave any consideration for what can induce modern development in Orlu and in other areas of Imo state.

What industries have pea-brained folks like you from Owerri established in Owerri to induce modern development in Owerri, except chasing for and covet government development institutions for Owerri?

Umuahia was literally a backwater until Dr. M. I. Okpara, then premier of eastern region, flooded Umuahia with industries. The fact that few industries were cited in Umuahia does not indicated Umuahia was more urbanized than Owerri. Owerri as provincial headquarter saw a more measured urbanization than Umuahia.

As usual, if Yorubas don't lend a hand of help they will say they don't, if they do they will say it is selfish interest.

Awo went into alliance with Tarka led UMBC during those days and they have their objective. Is Tarka of Ilorin or Kabba tribe? So Tarka will be stupid for entering the coalition just because Awo want to remove ONLY Ilorin and Kabba provinces? Can you see you are a dunce?

Professor Banji Akintoye even said it the other time that the Western Region under Awo that time were paying the salary for the upkeep for Joseph Tarka then to ensure the viability of the MB leadership.

When the proposal for restructuring the regions along ethnic lines was brought up with the Middlebelt wanting a separation from the Northern Region through the UMBC, how exactly did the Igbos supported them? The agitation led to riots in Tivlands in the 60s then with people seeking the separation but you guys looked away but come back to blame the Yorubas that at least lent a hand of solidarity.

Also, what is bad in Awo seeking the Yoruba speaking part of Ilorin and Kabba as part of the Western Region? Is anything wrong in that or you just choose to speak without thinking?

Because they fail dosen't mean they don't try but at least he tried. How could they have won when you guys in connivance with the North tried every thing to frustrate the effort? What about the secession clause that the thoughtless Azikwe spoke against? The greedy Igbos laid the framework for the rot in Nigeria but as usual they hide under the victimization of the civil war to feign innocence while they all blame the Yoruba of the west for every atrocities of this crazy country.

The only dunce in this discuss is you, sir. Tarka does not need to be of Ilorin or Kabba ethnic nationality to be bamboozled into alliance with Action Group not knowing the intention of Awolowo rested on Ilorin and Kabba joining western region. The fact remains that Awolowo and Tarka failed to create Middle Belt region out of northern region. In the other hand, Zik and NCNC succeeded in creating Midwestern region out of western region.

Yes you are right.

However there are some Yorubas within that are falling for the propaganda of the people that have always hated Yoruba leaders right from inception.

Truly Yoruba always vote massively in Bloc if the presidential candidate is a Yoruba. They did it for Awo, Abiola, Falae, OBJ 2003 , and I am sure they will do it for Tinubu or any other candidate in 2023. When we get to that bridge, even people like Fayose et al. will fall in line.

The political enemies will only wail as usual saying Yorubas betray betray when they see the likes of Fayose falling in line when the actual game start.

The bolded is very interesting scenario politically. Awo, Abiola and Falae failed to be president of Nigeria. When Yari.ba did not vote for Obasanjo in 1999, he won. As for Obasanjo 2003, the Yari.ba nation has realized the level of irrelevance of their vote and position. I guess Yari.ba did not have a choice in 2003 but vote for Obasanjo.

Adekamkpe23:
Have you noticed Igbos are the only tribe in Africa supporting Trump? Tomorrow now Igbos would start accusing African Americans of hating them even though they're the only tribe supporting Trump (their oppressor).
They hate incompetent Buhari with passion but love another equally incompetent president Trump. I wonder what they hope to gain considering available evidence that Trump is bound to lose the presidential election. Is like Igbo people don't realise the American embassy in Nigeria is staffed by both Republicans and Democrats. There's not one Igbo man of note supporting the democrats. I'm sure the embassy will be telling Joe Biden's people how fanatical Igbos are about Trump. Talk of putting all eggs in one basket.

From my own little research, I think the Igbos are not good in politics. Apart from putting all eggs in one basket as regards American election, let's take a look their politics here in Nigeria.
Do you notice they always castigate anybody who was APC but who is now PDP? They'd attack Kwankwaso, Obi Ezekwesili, Atiku, Sowore for daring to change parties. Now where do they think they'd get the numbers if they continue to reject and convince others to join PDP? Watch Nnamdi Kanu and you'd see what I mean. He uses disparaging words to describe other tribes, instead of building bridges, he builds gulfs.
Anyway back to the topic.
What happens if Joe Biden wins?

Shut up your putrid mouth. Trump did not oppress anybody. To a good citizen, you must have to obey the laws. One wonders if the so-called "black" are being singled out to be oppressed by Mr. Trump. Why are other African in USA are not oppressed? These jackasses have voted for one political party for more than 55 years and yet cry for right. How many so-called "black" were killed by police during Obama administration? The so-called "blacks" in USA have allowed themselves to be used as pawn by the dumbass liberals. Listen punk, Ndigbo do not play second fiddle to anybody. Your so-called blacks never liked anybody and Ndigbo do give a ratass about them too.

AtikuNetwork:
Because Turmp is a bigot so a lot of igbos can relate to such a person. Not all igbos but a large number of igbos are bigots like Trump.

Shut up your putrid mouth. Please use the google to understand the conation of the word - bigot. Only a fool believes there is racism. The word, racism, is a stinking misnomer which idiotic liberals used to con fools from Africa.

DeltaFire:
Nnamdi Kanu has no capacity at all to deliver any Biafra to his deceived followers.

Kanu just spreads hate and division, and is trying to divide the people of the South away from Igbos, so that Igbos will be isolated. IT WILL NOT WORK!

We thought Kanu would get sense so have been quiet all this while, but he is getting madder each day. Enough is enough. Kanu is going down. His fraud on his followers is going to be exposed. He has been ridiculing Igbos but now it is he who will face the ridicule.

To followers of Kanu: Don't worry, Igbo will get Self-determination and freedom. Only, it will NOT be through IPOB.

Watch this short video:

https://web.facebook.com/watch/?v=699355457574952&extid=yAZnhXRSoHHAR7yr

Which people of South are still with Ndigbo? I want Republic of Igbo land not Biafra.

DCatt:
I won't either, Tinubu knows Ooni is not Oba/king and has no business outside the shrine where he should be attending to the Orisa as their custodian.

There's no Oba in Ile Ife, it's the land of Orisa under Alaafin Oyo.

It all started during independence when Alaafin decided not to sell Yorubaland and the govt at the time looked for a Judas and found Ooni Adesoji Aderemi who they propped up and started dealing with.

Ooni is not Yoruba Oba but an impostor.

Every Yoruba Oba has an Abore/highpriest working under him and that was what Ooni is to Alaafin.

Bro, I must say that must loudmouths from Yari.ba ethnicity do not know the revelation from the above post. Ooni was never an Oba. This crap surrounding Ooni was created by Awolowo and Action Group to spite Alaafin of Oyo who opposed Awolowo's tribal politics in western region.

I guess Tinubu knew the true history behind the Ooni.

LegendHero:
When Awolowo fought for the creation of middle belt then during those days, what is the result? Do you know how many times the big Yoruba church establishment have given aid to the victim of the attrocities of the herdsmen in the middle belt. What about the Yoruba activists that have lend their voice of reason to the situation? What more should they have done? Pick up sword and behead the herdsmen for them?

How has the other southern tribe helped the people of the middle belt? I want you to please give me a convincing answer.

What are the other southern tribe doing for solve the problem of the middle belt permanently that you think the Yoruba lack. Can you tell me? Abi you think their online wailing will stop the herdsmen killings?

Shut up your putrid mouth. Awo did not fight for the creation of middle belt region. Yari.ba peeps love to arrogate bloated and feel-happy endeavors to Awolowo. As usual and home to Yari.ba people, they use undiscerning Nigerians for their selfish interest. Awo wanted to bring the Yari.ba speaking people of Ilorin and Kabba provinces into western region. In pursuit of this political end, AG used UMBC for the effort but failed. Awo and Action Group never achieved anything politically significant. Zik and NCNC fought the creation of Midwestern region out western region and achieved their political aim.

I do not give a ratass about who is killed in Nigeria anymore. My wish for Nigeria is to degenerate toward the level where everybody to his\her tent.

MalcoImX:
I have every right to equate any Igbo with a trader just as your tribesmen equate every herdsman to a killer herdsman.

My point, which is not acceptable to most of you, is that the herders have a right to be wherever they want to be as long as they didn't contravene any law of the land.
Your people just don't want herdsmen in Igboland because you think they're a mirror of your 'oppressors.' Period.

Hatred begets hatred. As long as, for whatever reason, you won't understand their way of life, there's every likelihood they won't understand yours.

You have every right to have opinion regardless how idiotic it looks. My point remains that this forum is a public arena and requires some level of intellect which is above that of a monkey. I do not give a damn about your hatred for other ethnic nationality but intelligible conversation. Simple analogical stance with logical trappings is required so as to make a sense that a jackass from your village who sells cattle in Uyo is a trader. We want herders in Igbo land to respect the essence of the farmers too.

kikake:
@proeast says I want Orlu to be on the level of Owerri, therefore I am onye ara.

What will @proeast lose if Orlu develops like Owerri or even better than Owerri?

In a society of saner people, is @proeast not the real onye ara?

Umuahia for example was developed more than Owerri before 1976 when Imo state was created.

But Owerri has now surpassed Umuahia in development and urban expansion.

Ignorance added to primitive greed is ...

Your want is inconsequential as a canteen rat. Speak on issue within the level of your historical recollection. Owerri was a province and provincial headquarter when Umuahia was village.

seniormallam:
If you don't have any photo or video evidence, just keep shut, his gullible members can banished you from the village as wanted to tarnish the image of their pastor,
My advice, just keep watching and try getting photo or video next time, the earlier such fake men of gods are exposed the better for the church,
Been that the place is a village, if you report such pastor ,you could easily be targeted and likely lose your life,
Just do your service nysc and go home in peace, just take the incidence as one of the seven wonders of the world

The bolded in the above post is laughable. Do you want the dude to keep watch over another person's aperture?

ezenwajosh:
U think these guys don't keep records of each and everyone of themselves....all they need is that one Fulani holy war soldier hasn't been found then another and another they will run to their oga and tell him...see what's happening o, their boss will call your caretaker governors, call the Arm forces, call editor in chief of newspaper... They will be there in your governors lodge and conclude on a story and actions to match the story....they can even go as far as into federal or state prisons bring out inmates of Igbo extraction... Tell them to say they were caught killing an Hausa man in the bush, promise them they will be released and the press will cover their fake confession then after that...they will be executed....the world and Nigerians will believe the movie..... IF YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT THIS FAR ABOUT NIGERIA AND OUR SITUATION AS NDI IGBO IN NIGERIA THEN YOU PROBABLY WON'T ALSO UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR IGBOS TO LEAVE NIGERIA

Bro I think my level of desire to leave Nigeria may rank among yours in terms of Igbo seceding from Nigeria. I do not even want Biafra as my basic desire but Republic of Igbo land. The problem of Ndigbo remains the way the war ended. Ndigbo initial thought the war had ended therefore dissociated themselves from anything arms and ammunition. The northern region of Nigeria, especially Fulani and Kanuri, did not think the war had actually ended. The silly cry from Ndigbo is due to their misplaced priorities in the project called Nigeria.

MalcoImX:
'Trader' here may refer to Igbos on trading mission to northern Nigeria. You may substitute it with 'businessman' if that's more palatable.

Why are most Nigerians separated from correct forms? I guess this is an issue of eloquent or lack thereof. In your deluded world, trader is now equated to Igbo. The scene of the fracas is seemingly in Igbo land. The herders are not in northern region but eastern region therefore the issue is between herders and farmers. Most Nigerians are known for silly illogicality and you are no exception. I guess cattle sellers are not traders according to your skewed analogy. Nigeria is real basket of fools.

@OP

Have you not heard about what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? You should know that fvck is part of human nature. Please go get yourself fvcked.

MalcoImX:
Fulanis like Igbo value movement to sedentary life. But unlike Igbo they're more interested in pasture rather than grounded materials.

No sane Fulani will leave the whole of northern Nigeria to go searching for Igbos to kill, just as no sane Igbo man will SE Nigeria to go to northern Nigeria just to kill. One is a herder and the other is a trader, and skirmishes usually occur when you temper with the livelihood of the herder or the[b] trader.[/b]

And pls skip the insults as you don't want me to call you Kanu boy.

Please do not attempt to be smart. You would have made an intelligible analogy if you had a herder and a farmer. Both sells their products which makes them traders.

ezenwajosh:
NOW THE FULANIS ARE NO LONGER COMING INTO THE LAND BY DAY....BUT RATHER DEEP IN THE NIGHT AND THE GO IN TO SETTLE IN THICK BUSHES....BUT ONCE YOU FISH THEM OUT THEY WILL SAY IPOB ATTACK HAUSA....THEY WON'T CALL IT FULANI BUT HAUSA SO THAT HAUSA'S IN THE NORTH WILL KILL OUR OWN PEOPLE UP NORTH AND THE MEDIA WILL SAY WE STARTED IT FIRST BECAUSE THE NEWS HEADLINES WILL READ STRANGE MISSING AND MURDERING OF HAUSA PEOPLE IN SOUTH EAST they the Fulani's will seat back and watch Hausa do the fighting for them....we have to defend our land but also needs to sensitive our people to be emotionally and psychologically stable when we start doing it because we will be on our own.....everybody will be against us

Bro I grew in Igbo land and used to roam in the jungle. Talk of the Obigbo, the rain forest of the communities around Owaza, Uzuaku, Imo River, Obigbo, Komkom, Iriebe etc can hide anything from the eyes of human. No strange visitor or a stranger had ventured into these neighborhoods and tell story.

Chukwujoe1:
During the state's summer election in Georgia, up to 1,500 voters applied for an absentee ballot, but later on, many started canceling there own application and some who wanted to cancel there's but due to some misunderstanding that occurred, they voted twice.

Brad Raffensperger, a republican from the Georgia secretary of state, made the announcement and was interrogated by some set of people who do not belong to any party , this non partisans were so desperate to know the root of the double voting that occurred in the Primaries, but Brad Raffensperger promised to carry out its own investigations concerning the issue.

But the way he was sounding, was about to prove that the malpractice (double voting) did not affect the election results and it maybe a mistake by the officials handling the arrangements and counting of the election results due to the August runoff elections.

Many non partisans who were so concerned to Know the causes of the errors in the June primary elections accused him for being responsible of the errors and as well referred his statements as a way of distracting people's attention from the issue......Tap below to see Brad Raffensperger reactions on there statements

Please expatiate a little about the above post. No one cannot be "Non-partisan" when he\she participated in election process. Once a person voted one way or the other, he\she is partisan. There could be independents who do not take active part in political party shenanigans yet partisan when they cast their vote.

ezenwajosh:
Your not getting me....am Igbo am IPOB...MY POINT IS GOING OUT TO DEFEND YOURSELF THEY WILL TAG YOU IPOB TO JUSTIFY KILLING YOU JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH THE RIVERS THAT TRIED TO DEFEND THEMSELF FROM THE NORTHERN COMMUNITY IN RIVER STATE....

AM NOT SCARED BUT OUR GOVERNORS WILL BE THE ONE TO GIVE THE COMMAND BECAUSE THE PEOPLE NO LONGER HOLD THE POWER OF VOTING THEM INTO OFFICE BUT RATHER SUPREME COURT... so they will do anything to be on the side of the region heading the supreme court. I CAN DEFEND MY LAND AS A BIAFRAN AND WILL PROPABLY DIE DOING IT....WHAT I WON'T DO IS DEFEND MY LAND AS A ONE NIGERIAN AND STILL DIE DOING IT

The time in discuss is not 18th century era. There was a scene sometimes ago where the youths from Enugu organized driving of cattle out of their community. The Obigbo saga was clash between Hausa community and its neighbors. Of course, the silly media would like to bring IPOB into the picture but prevent the communities tormented by herdsmen to fight back. The act of intentenious reprisal against the attacks from Fulani herdsmen by distinct communities in Igbo land should not beg for the attention of silly governors in Igbo land.

ezenwajosh:
Mhmmm....what do you think those men that was shot in Enugu was doing again?

Training....training to do what defend their land not with guns or machetes but just normal Martial art....self defense..... Did you hear the police man interviewing them turning it to them getting training to fight government?

Bro please tell me you are joking. You are probably Igbo man who understands how we do business. We must separate IPOB from real business of Ndigbo. The fight against Fulani herdsmen is not a thing of prayer meeting or martial art training. My grandfather told me that already decided issue is being agreed upon with the shake of the head.

ezenwajosh:
You haven't lived long enough in Nigeria or maybe you haven't been paying attention....

The government will not do anything when fulani attacks us but once we start doing something even in most discreet manner.... YOU WILL HAVE OPERATION PAYTHON DANCE REMIX AND YOU WILL SEE ARE SORTS OF FIGHTER JET, GUNS AND ROCKET LAUNCHERS AND THEY WILL TELL THE NEWS MEN WHAT TO WRITE.... THEN AGAIN AS I SAID ITS EITHER YOU VE NEVER LIVED LONG ENOUGH IN NIGERIA OR YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OBSERVANT

Point of correction. The fight against a strange attackers such as Fulani herdsmen has nothing to do with IPOB or actualization of Biafra. I hate flimsy excuses such as the one you put up. Nobody camps in your farm land without your permission. The fight to protect your lives and properties has nothing to do with actualization of Biafra.

frankyychiji:
I know you are angry, but this is highly offensive on the good people of Wawa land. Take it easy mahn!

My sister, I being angry is understatement. I really do not know the type of water Ndigbo are drinking these days. What the hell are they afraid of anymore? We have seen war in real live. I could not fathom how a stranger will come into Igbo land to torment them like the fool had stated. Unless this moronic LGA chairman is looking for means to embezzle money.

The only character I have seen as a leader since my green years. I hate hypocrites who idiotically parade themselves as leaders. Let alone with this dude, the Palestine created by the idiotic European and American anti-Semites will cease to exist. The British mandate for Palestine was divided into two, even disproportionately of 77% to 23% Arabs\Jews, to form two countries, Jordan and Israel. Yet ever stupid British and Europeans found a way to mess it up.

One of the worst things I disagreed with government led by Goodluck Jonathan remains the caging of southern Nigeria. He should have allowed the southern borders to remain as porous as northern borders. The introduction of scanning equipment at the seaports in southern Nigeria was the lowest point of his foolish administration. I hate the so-called timid leaders of Nigeria who hail from southern Nigeria. The current VP is a glorified gateman.

tsdarkside:
africa will be joined toghether sooner or later like eu....
nations on their own are too weak to compete against other nations that are already industrialized.

Northern region of Nigeria can join Republic of Niger for all I care. However, the Republic of Igbo land shall be exceptional to the dumb theory of joining African nations together. Instead Republic of Igbo land will have bilateral agreement with Republic of Ambazonia.

ezenwajosh:
[b]The Enugu council, chairman and farmers are lamenting that herdsmen are still tormenting them [/b]but somehow the police, DSS, army and civil defence can't catch those herdsmen but they can find, arrest and shoot IPOB members on pointblank


When we train our selves to defend our land or @least defend our selves in the farm they will circle us up and shoot us and the whole media in nigeria and Nigerians will support and call them gallant soldiers


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/09/herdsmen-still-tormenting-us-enugu-council-chairman-farmers-lament/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Your forbearers must be Turing in their graves now. It is very unlike Wawa dudes. You can cry pity all year long, nobody will listen to you. The fools in you should organize a reprisal attack on the Fulani herdsmen. If government did nothing when Fulani herdsmen attacked your community, there is nothing government will do when you stage a reprisal attack. Again, carry out the reprisal attack in surgical manner. Do the Fulani herdsmen know the terrain better than you fools do?

I implore most Nigerians not be fooled. Niger is in the contingent plan of northern region of Nigeria to form greater Republic of Arewa. The refinery in Republic of Niger is partly owned by Nigerians. The plans to extend railway line from Katsina to Niamey are not mere coincidental.

sharpden:
Garba Shehu, the spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, has advised Nigerians not to fall for the antics of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Shehu stated this Tuesday evening while reacting to the increase of petrol pump price which Nigerians are criticising the All Progressive Congress (APC) led administration for.

“Don’t allow the PDP to deceive you. Amidst acute shortages, they sold petrol at N600 per litre on Easter Sunday in 2013 (See Punch published on that day),” he said on Twitter.

During his days in the opposition, his principal criticised and protested against the decision of the Jonathan government to remove subsidy on petroleum products and increased the price of petrol to N145.

After the then nationwide demonstration, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led government backtracked and reversed its decision.

With the removal of the subsidy in March this year, a decision this present administration kicked against while in opposition, and with the rise of crude oil recently, the price of fuel increased to N162.



https://todaypoliticsng.com/dont-let-pdp-deceive-you-they-once-sold-petrol-n600-buharis-spokesman-tells-nigerians/

Garba Shehu is a dumbass fool. Leave PDP out this mess because you are doing exactly what APC berated PDP few years ago. APC promised to "Change" the wrong ways of PDP yet APC's promised change looks like a curse on Nigerians.
