Since the demise of cocoa production the SW has been at the forefront of one Nigeria .

Cocoa is Nigeria's second largest and major export after oil.

And Nigeria's industrial, financial, insurance, media, cultural and entertainment wealth is in the SW.


Nearly all the investments entering Nigeria ends up in the SW.

So, fighting, breaking up or whatever you call it is your problem, not ours and we just don't care and we don't have to jump just because you feel like jumping, we will jump on our own terms and when we are ready.

You are a paid propagandist and you know it so i won't blame you for talking trash and using panaldo on another man's headache, even the minister cannot lay claim to 20 meaningful achevments as minister. So you have no point. He tried in Lagos but a disaster as minister of works, power and housing period.

[/s]




Keep quiet, the topic is about Lagos state and we are talking about Lagos state.

Start your own thread about federal minister and debate it till you quench, that's your problem

Seriously, I appreciate this well thought out write up and historical narrative which I think sounds logical and applicable when it comes to What's going on in Nigeria, but the average ignorant and unintelligent ipobs ans noise makers on the internet can not properly read, comprehend, analyze and source meaningful lessons and understanding from this article.

What many jn the SE and this writer should be asking is "How did we get here"?

We all know the answer.

This is what you get after decades of spoon feeding your kids hatred, paranoid and distrust against fellow Nigerians. Your kids were raised based if these negative factors and their relationship with other Nigerians remains a reflection of the same factors today so what kind of results and understanding are you expecting from them?


You cam not teach them A and expect them to wake up tomorrow and start acting like B.

You reap what you sow amd this is what you sow.

The gene is out of the bag and you can not put it back easily.

The first step forward is to stop spoon feeding your kids hatred and animosity against other people.

You must change your ways especially how you deal with other Nigerians

Igboesika:
Mtchewww.
First of all , you are not Igbo. My cousin speaks and understands Hausa to the extent of scoring B2 in Hausa language, does that make him an Hausa man ?. No .

No amount of unity begging with epistles will make umuchineke to change their minds.

I think he is "Afonja".

RockHard:
Bro, chillax lest you allow bitterness get the better of you. In my opinion, you're insulting BRF by comparing his 8-year tenure to a merely 2-year old Ambode administration. Government is a continuum, and it's not a must that Ambode's focus must be on exactly what his predecessor did. He's entitled to his own style of governance. Besides, there's a blueprint for development that's guiding their administrative decisions. I urge you for the sake of peace not to give the enemies of the state ammunition to start taking needless shots at both great men.

In your world, stating facts is bitterness.


And who is comparing 2 years with 8 years?


I said Fashola did more in his first 2 years than ambode in his first 2 years eve though Ambode's budget is 2 x more than Fashola's budget.


I'm not interested in your emotions and sentiments, bring facts to counter me with or move on with your emotions and sentiments.

greatman247:
You talk rubbish more. You must be a paid propagandist. Nobody ever say he didn't work especially during his first tenure as governor. Second term was less work and more disaster. I asked you to show me picture of 20 of his accomplishments as minister, every sensible Nigerians know he is failure as minister, no doubt. Nowadays he profers solution to most problems just talking and when it comes to deliver he did rubbish. Nigeria is still in darkness, no affordable house and road in most of Nigeria n states and yet he is the minister of power, work and housing.

kingzizzy:
Well unless the SS elected you as their official spokesman, speak only for your tribe

They don't have to elect me to be anything, they spoke their mind already, they don't want your biafra nonsense. Why is it so hard for you delusional people to wrap around your heads?

[s]

kingzizzy:
They are not asking for elections either but the federal government conducts elections every 4 years, wether they like or not.

Referendum will be conducted. Anybody who doesnt like it doesnt have to come out to vote

[/s]


1. There is no referendum and there won't be any to start with.

2. The whole of SS has already passed their own referendum by rejecting your biafra rubbish. They don't want to be part of your silly biafra nonsense.

3. SS people are yet to forget your atrocities, your evil and mean ways during the civil war and how you subjugated them, raped and pillage their towns and people.


They know all about you and your evil ways.

kingzizzy:
The one good thing about the plan is that it gives the Igbos and the minorities the right to choose their destiny via referendum. Something they have never had in Nigeria.

They are not asking for referendum and they don't want to be with you?

Na by force?

Is Biafra not possible without attache by force with people who don't want you or give a damn about your foolish and pathetic adventure?

Nwakaumu2:
it bores me even more that our people are busy killing themselves over "owoda" at motor parks,while Fulani is sitting tight over our ancestral throne in offa and ilorin and the only thing we can do as people is screaming IPOB and Biafra every time.its pathetic my brother,

[/s]



Who is your brother? You better go to yor ipob village for your brother?

ipobs silly and unintelligent rubbish bore me..

[s]

Billyonaire:
Nnamdi Kanu is a Leader of Biafrans and Biafra was once a country. Biafrans and Nigerians agreed to be one country after "No Victor, No Vanquish" was declared. For the less savvy, No Victor, No vanquish means that there was no winner and no loser 'in' that 1967-1970 Civil war.

Nigeria promised 3Rs but did not honor those 3Rs but went ahead to seize all properties belonging to Biafrans. They didnt stop there, they took all money in Savings Accounts, Current Accounts, Fixed Deposits and every other kobo that belonged to Biafrans. Nigerie neglected the Biafrans and till today, they continue to victimize the ethnic nationalities that made up Biafra.

It took the bravery of one man, to remind us all of the injustices of Nigerians against Biafrans. Every sincere human being, who is worth being called Human, knows this is wrong.

I am not Igbo, but I have read history enough to know who to apportion blames. Nigeria has failed Nigerians, and even failed the Biafran Nigerians more, because there is no Federal presence in Biafraland.

So, I make bold to say, that this movement is not a wishful thinking. You can decide to remove your own history from the curriculum because you do not want your next generations to read about the EVIL you perpetrated against others. But you can not take away the myths, the folktales and moonlight story times from the mind of the people.

The visit of an International Delegate, sent by the Turkish Government to Biafraland is a strong indication that Biafra has gotten an open ally. You all can attempt to water down the meaning of this visit. But I can assure you all, that it is for good. It is time for a referendum.

There should be no more elections until we all decide if to continue to be Nigerians, until the masses are informed how they can survive without social security. How they can survive without medicare. How they can survive without retirement benefits. How they can survive without even a future.

I implore every ethnic nationality to unite and request that Abuja MUST listen to us all. We will like to discuss on Regional Confederal System of Government. If the government refuses a referendum, then it has to be Biafra.

No one is demanding Biafra from Nigeria, because Biafra already existed before Nigeria was coined by Lady Lugard.

We will welcome more Diplomats to Biafraland.

I want to be one of the Ministers in Biafra, so I can help design the BluePrint of The Biafran Economy. It will be a country like no other.

It is time for every interested Nigerian to key in to this new nation. There is no point going to Malaysia, Ghana, Australia, Germany, Uganda and Kenya, when we are about to put Biafra on the world map soon enough.

Nigerians must do the right thing before it becomes late. Call your Representatives back and ask them to move a motion for a peaceful referendum.

Common, irrelevant and meaningless association leader means Turkish government and diplomat in ipob village



ipobs and lack of intelligence no dey go hand in hand at all.

Nwakaumu2:
What country are you freeing? We are free Offa and Ilorin from Fulani occupation. Since the days Afonja our people have been enslaved by the Sokoto islamic caliphate.I hope It is clear to you now.tanks for ur question.

[/s]


ipobs silly and unintelligent rubbish bore me..

Sprumbabafather:
While others are fighting to free their country, some people are fighting to remain as miscreants. And they cannot even change their roof color.

They are talking about peace and this joker is talking about his imaginary and fantasy ipob country.

What country are you freeing? The ipob village that you really don't have?



These ipobs sef..

Agumbaa:
Guy stop being childish, that guy is Erdogan's right hand man.

Yes, I know right hand man in your village means Diplomat and Government Official


And you now the association man is his right hand man because you are his left hand man and you know everything about the Turkish government and the Turkish president.


You ipobs are not even good at cheap and rancid comedy..

Agumbankembu:
But he is Erdogan's man. Just like where Mamman Daura goes to Papua New Guinea to see their independentce movement leader.
But, it's ok.

We don move from diplomat to Erdogan's man ..


Do you have any credible source for this your Daura ipob tales and fallacy?


You ipobs sabi manufacture tales like toyota on top assembly line.

myright:
is Peterside, the Nimasa boss working for nigeria government?

LWKMD. These ipobs no go kill pesin with lafta I swear..

1. NIMASSA is not an association, NIMASSA is a Nigerian government agency and part of the Nigerian government.

2. Peterside is a Nigerian government official and he collects his paychecks from the Nigerian government and the people of Nigeria.


They obviously didn't teach you ipobs social studies and civic education in your ipob village square schools.

myright:
Oga Ade, check out the pictures I just uploaded.

So, he's a Turkish diplomat because he took picture with the Turkish president?


What's wrong with you ipobs sef?


What's this man's official position within the Turkish government and what's his official Turkish government portfolio?


Abeg answer my question..

myright:
The very first emissary sent to Biafra land by the Turkish government to partner with Ipob leadership and Biafrans in the areas of infrastructural programs designed to promote education, road constructions and other unmentioned projects yet to be revealed. Days, weeks and months will tell. In his words, he said Biafrans, are very hard working and great people to work with. He said, Turkish government welcomes a transparent and trustworthy relationship with the leadership of Ipob mazi Nnamdi kanu.

Curled from ipob bedtime stories and fantasies..

bracketflair:
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu received the President of International Nations Commercial Association in Turkey Abdulkadir Erkahraman

Very soon "Spare Parts Association in Ghana" go become Diplomat from Ghana.

ragiluhivo:
Afonja get out of here. One minute the link the fake the other minute the Turkish guy is common. Same way your vp is common commissioner?

And just so you know Mr Erkahraman is the President of International Nations Commercial Association and works directly with Turkish President. You can confirm this on there official page here http://umtd.org.tr/?lang=en.

Stop making a fool of yourself already. Have some goddamn dignity

[/s]


Story don change from Turkish diplomat to " He works directly with Turkish government".



Btw, what's this man's official position within the Turkish government and what's his official Turkish government portfolio?


You ignorant ipobs should really confine your ignorance, lies and deception to your fellow ipobs..

[s]

ragiluhivo:
2. Oya go and confirm the link and come say its fake. https://www.naij.com/1110148-despite-intimidation-foreigners-visiting-nnamdi-kanu-boasts-receives-turkish.html

3. Mr. Abdulkadir Erkahr Bremen is the President of International Nations Commercial Association in Turkey, you can confirm that here too http://umtd.org.tr/?lang=en

Don't forget to check if the picture is photoshop as well

[/s]



Yes, commercial association is now a diplomat and related to Turkish government.


silly and ignorant ipobs...

ragiluhivo:
Stop the unnecessary ranting and go confirm the story https://www.naij.com/1110148-despite-intimidation-foreigners-visiting-nnamdi-kanu-boasts-receives-turkish.html

Keep quiet, you are a liar, you just changed the link. The link you posted initially was fake and had nothing to do with the topic.

It is still fake news regardless the silly link you are peddling since the man is a common president of a commercial association in turkey, not a diplomat or Turkish government official. The link you posted is not from a reputable Nigerian news media, they post rubbish copied the same rubbish from ipob blog sites.


All you people do is lie lie and lie.

Guestlander:
You are right, the link and the story doesn't match. Ipobs are known for deception and posting fake news.

I just don't know why NL look the other way and let them get away with so many blatant fake rubbish.


Nearly everything you read on NL these days are all fake rubbish by ipobs.

1. Another ipob fake news posted on NL to promote the same rubbish NL claimed it's against, he's a common commercial association president in Turkey.

2. The link posted is fake and has nothing to do with the topic. The link says Give account of our 13 percent FG allocation - NDA tells Okowa.

3. The man is not a diplomat from Turkey or Turkish government official.



These constant and polluting fake news and rubbish makes it look like ipobs and NL are in some kind of alliance to disseminate and promote ipob, false narratives and fake news because I don't get why they don't delete these fake news and false rubbish and ban the poster.

Or posting false news is not against NL rules anymore?

EMIR SANUSI BARES HIS MIND ON HAUSA, IGBO AND YORUBA… THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA….. A MUST READ !

The former Central Bank Governor, and Emir of Kano His Royal Highness Muhammadu Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.

Below is his unedited speech.

“Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.

“My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.

“Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.

“The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.

“The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.

Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders.

You talk about Babangida and the problems of our economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?

“We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?

“We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.

Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.

“So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.

The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two as at independence). What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North) more than the south.

“I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows it. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?

“There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it.

“Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources.

“There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.

“So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said.
LESSONS FROM THIS MESSAGE

Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.

There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.

Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.

Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.

So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.

China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.

America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.

Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!

Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses.

Are you ipobs not tired of peddling this fake and fabricated rubbish.

jaggabban:
Oga u be thief? Last time I checked, oil belongs to ss not flat-heados.

They've already colonized and joined SS to their SE village.


Their whole biafra thing is a delusional dream and sad bedtime fantasy.

yorubas are despicable....look at them jobless dolts ranting up and down

Ndo, e go beta one day.


I really do enjoy laughing at you confused and elf destructive people.

OZAOEKPE:
Short devil
Why not arrest the northerners that vowed to kill our IBO brothers

While I strongly and heartedly agreed that promoters of violence and agitators must be punished, but you and your kind are even worse, you are sad and pathetic hypocrites since no such call for arrest came from you and your kind when kanu was preaching and promoting hate and violence and even solicited for guns to kill fellow Nigerians with and in fact, instead of calling for his arrest, you people labeled him your heroes and Messiah, you kneel and prostrate before him.

Hypocrites.

kingzizzy:
Many Nigerians think that Igbos started fighting for their freedom with Ojukwu. The truth is that Igbos were fighting not be part of Nigeria even before Nigeria was created.

Slow down abeg.


1. ibo people wanted Nigeria before and after independence while Yoruba people didn't want it.

Zik did everything under the sun including teaming up with the North to create one Nigeria against the wishes of Awolowo and Yoruba people.


And when ZIK was dancing with the North to create one and independent Nigeria and ibo people did not raise a finger to stop him or object to his wishes about one Nigeria and he even refused to insert secession clause into the constitution.

No, you and your forefathers wanted and got One Nigeria.


2. Before the first coup, Nigeria functioned under regional administration when all the 3 major regions administered themselves and their own affairs, but after the coup, Nigeria made another ibo man the head of state, but instead of keeping all the 3 regions separated by continuing with the regional set up, he instituted decree 34 aka unification decree which abolished regionalism and formerly joined Nigeria together to form one Nigeria and what we have today with absolute power in the center instead of the regions.


3. We have what is called one Nigeria today because of ibo people because on two critical and separate occasions, ibo men from Zik and Aguiyi-Ironsi, the head of state created on Nigeria.

You reap what you sow.


Go and learn your history.

igbodefender:
Igbos are a brainy and brilliant race. We shake the world. We have great ambassadors like Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, Innocent Chukwuma who manufactures cars in Nnewi; Chinedu Echeruo who sold his app to Apple for $US 2 billion and many others. Our human resources are great. It is left to Nigeria to encourage Igbo entreprise, and the sky will be the starting point.

I just love how ipobs beat chest like there is no tomorrow.
