Since the beginning of history, countries fight, tribes go to war and they still get over it.

Why is it so difficult for our Igbo brothers to get over the civil war??

Awo was magnanimous enought to return Igbo properties in South West and also give every eligible Igbo £20 to start up something and be self reliant.

Let's assume we had 1,000,000 eligible Igbos collecting £20.

£20 × 1 million = £20 million in the 60s'-70s'

What else do Igbos want from Yorubas? We no try reach for una?

It seems you are tormented by Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. Your silly display of ignorance is not ordinary. There are not more than 20, 000 Igbo people who qualified for the punitive £20 from Nigeria. Nobody who has ever come out of a war can account for every document secured before the war.

He also flew into Nigeria on a private jet.

TheKingdom:
I would not say that Zik was great, but he did some good and did some bad. Someone like Ojukwu however, exceptional

Zik was not a tribalist, but was so consumed with wanting to govern Nigeria, even at the expense of his people and their own interest, which made his people have thei backs against the wall...


Awo and Bello did were not gunning on ruling the new Zoo, but wanted to position themselves and their people at an advantage, while Zik was looking on how to position just himself at an advantage.

You have not read your history books yet. From the above crap, you seemed to come from the class of people who circle the wagon and make political hay out of innuendos.

intruxive:

This is nice, watching how the semi illiterates desecrate their heroes and insult their entire institutions only to lament and complain later how others view them.
Bunch of confused tribe, with zero identity

It is safe to say that in this discourse, you made semi illiterate out of yourself. Ndigbo are different breeds and will not fail to tell a king where he dropped the ball even if it requires wearing basket over the head to do so. Nidgbo are not hero worshippers.

When Ahmadu Bello was all over the news network spewing hate speeches, where were leaches such as Aliyu Sabi Abudullahi?

Diickrider:
Yoruba Amaka

Yari.ba Kwa!!! The shithole called Nigeria is becoming worrisome.

Certain people from certain section of Nigeria seem to fall flat on their faces after they delivered a drinking cup to their masters. It appears Lugard was correct about most Africans.

NonsoWow:
Very good. I told the FG that if they want to end Ipod foolishness once and for all, they should beam their searchlights on just these two states: Abia and Enugu. Already, Anambra is giving them hell with over 300 that Peter Obi killed in Ezu river and the ones that were mauled down in Nkpor under Obiano's watch. Our plan as Anambra indigenes is to ensure that Anambra is completely free of Ipod pests by 2019.

I hoped Nigeria is not a shithole because you foolishly sounded like an accomplice.

wakaman:
Stubborn pigs, DSS should make scapepigs of these ones!

What a thought process. Yet a goon with pig intellect wants One-Nigeria.

I am very in doubt if the goons who parade as Igbo leaders would be able to think out suicide for themselves if give a century to perform such a simple task. The idiotic caption of this thread should read “We are not interested in the presidency of the shithole called Nigeria without a referendum for Republic of Igbo land or even Biafra – Igbo leaders”.

deomelo:
They love to blame and trash the FG for their own self-inflicted maladies because due to their ignorance and collective illiteracy and poor understanding of social studies and governance, their own leaders, sons, and daughters are part of the same FG and even members of the FEC where decisions are made per what projects to locate, fund and build.



They even act as if their states don't collect taxes, debts and allocations.

It is safe to say you do not know the connotation of the word, illiteracy. Only a fool can use such word in the same sentence with Ndigbo in the form of denigration.

Reelectbuhari:
yet the northern give u people more appointment than igbos.....

join forces to support sai baba and leave igbos alone....

Niger delta(south south) of which Asaba is part of....can benefit more allying with north.....than claiming igbos.....

Nigeria map never say Asaba is igboland....stop deceiving your

Does Nigeria have a map? A shithole can never have a map.

Ndigbo are the only people who can create beach without an Ocean.

Nowenuse:
Why are you just saying nonsense here?

Can you show any proof when the Tivs or Jukuns were paying homage to any caliphate or emirate?

Benue & Taraba people defended the north because they believed in One Arewa in the past. Their fathers were deceived into believing in a united north which the British forced them into, not because they were ever under any emirate....


Fulanis took control of Ilorin as well as Nupe land through deception and internally. It was never a full scale invasion war and conquest...

Pls, educate yourself with more history to avoid embarrassing yourself in public.

At what point did they believe in One Arewa? Was it after the NPC led by Ahmadu Bello dealt a good number on Tiv, Igala and Idoma who supported UMBC under J. S. Tarka? It was Nigerian soldiers led by a son of Birom that killed many Tiv, Igala and Idoma people during the 1964 riot.

Nowenuse:
Benue people were not the only ones in the middlebelt to resist jihad and defeat the fulanis, let alone the entire present day Nigeria.

Jukun people (of Wukari, Taraba south) also defeated and resisted the fulani caliphate.
Plateau & Southern Kaduna people also did.

Igalas also did.

Numan confederacy of Adamawa south also resisted the fulanis.

In the South, Yoruba people defeated the fulani jihadists at Ogbomosho. Edo people defeated the jihadists at Esan axis.

The above crap is in line with the saying that Ilorin was not taken by Caliphate but was defeated at Ogbomosho. It was a quagmire at Ogbomoso hence it was not administer by any emirate. All Benue and Taraba were under Bauchi or Adamawa emirates. This is one reason the people from these areas thought and fought as if Ahmadu Bello was their grandfather during Nigeria/Biafra war.

Nowenuse:
Absolute trash and nonsense.

Not even Wukari in Taraba or Numan in Adamawa state was ever under fulani control or emirate, let alone the Tivs.

The British colonialists tried to fraudulently group Plateau people under Bauchi emirate during the indirect rule, but it was heavily resisted by Plateau people.

The Caliphate soldiers were stopped at Igbo-Eze and Nsukka axis during the war termed Hauaa\Akegbe war.

Nowenuse:
Yaradua
Shehu Shagari &
Buhari are all fulanis.

Others like
Tafawa Balewa
IBB
Abdulsalami
Abacha
Yakubu Gowon &
Murtala Mohammed who were not fulanis were all pro-caliphate and in extension pro-fulanis..... So, it makes no much difference.

You could not be more correct. Those who were not Fulani by ethnicity were under the authority or influence of the emirates which was an administrative department of the Caliphate.

Mbediogu:
No part of Tivland fell to the caliphate, no wonder the vengeance on them by fulani herdsmen and soldiers. So Parts of oyo state River Niger, and parts of Taraba belong to Sokoto eh?
They shoukd be contented with dipping the Koran in two Rivers. Why aim for ocean when river is purer for the cows? chai!

All Tiv lands were under the authority of the emirates, Bauchi or Adamawa.

Asquare84:
Op. You need to add how the jihad was stop in benue state because usman dan fodio has already hosted his flag in the Atlantic ocean, thank God for the corregous effort of benue warrior if not the whole of Nigeria would av been islamise. How benue manage to stop the jihad is a whole topic for another day

Fake news. Benue was already under an emirate. Any place under the authority of emirate is a subjugation of Caliphate. The Caliphate was taught the lesson of their war at outskirts of Igbo-Eze and Nsukka LGAs.

FakoMaybach1:
@seun @lalasticlala you guys need to close this topic....This is not the right time to spread this history about fulani domination. These write ups usually fan the embers of war and Nigeria will end up like Rwanda

It is a matter of time before hatred of fulani spills into the streets in the south and blood starts to flow....The past is gone, we only need information relevant to us and this is not part of them

You might not agree with me, but no one will read this without bearing hatred for the fulani tribe, if people are interested in history they can find and read up on this part of Nigerian history

@seun do not promote hate

Those who failed to understand their past tend to commit blunder in the future.

Basic123:
How has yoruba served the caliphate politically?

Igbo and North are known to be political allies since 1959 until 2015 election

Arrant nonsense!!

ballerin:
And he eventually met his death in the hands of the Tivs... He killed by the sword and he died by the sword..

Shame to the Hausas,the most spineless, weakest & slavish tribe of all, generations after, yet they remained too doomed to take back what is rightfully theirs. What a shame

Where did you get this nonsensical crap? Tiv did not put up any resistance to the Jihadists and Dan Fodio did not fight any war. The wars of conquer and expansionism were fought by Dan Fodio's son and younger brother.

QuotaSystem:
This OP is clearly obsessed with the North .

Two days ago he asked what plan the North had for Nigeria (assuming it had none), by the time he was provided with a bulletproof roadmap to progress (despite failing to acknowledge the failures that southern leadership recorded in the 14 years it was in power since 1999), he ran away from the thread without acknowledging the roadmap, only to cough up this new one.

To confirm his prejudice, he has now asked northerners not to mention Aliko Dangote who is Nigerias gift to the black race and one of its biggest exports and sources of pride - a Fulani entrepreneur par excellence and richest black man alive, greatest industrialist in Africa that develops countries with solid infrastructure instead of powdered drugs. His insistence on excluding Dangote clearly proves that he is not genuinely curious but just seeks an avenue to bash the north in order to air out his frustration. [/b]

Even though we have inventors like Jelani Aliyu (Chevrolet Volt electric car), world leaders like Amina Mohammed (Dep. UN Secretary General), the world renowned colourful Hausa architecture among others, indulging the OP further will only reinforce his bigoted tendency to open another senseless prejudiced thread on his crazed obsession - the great people of northern Nigeria.

Aliko Dangote is a front to northern Nigeria oligarchy.

remedick:
I hereby call on Northerners of this forum, to please come and list at least 20 international achievements by Northerners that put Nigeria on spotlight among nations.

Before you proceed, please leave Dangote out of this.

Areas should be but not limited to

1. Sports (exclude football)

2. Science

3. Tech

4. Education

5. Medicine

6. Entertainment

7. Information Technology

8. Literature

Are you this cruel? The northern region of Nigeria has given the world the one and only "underwear bomber".

My Yari.ba friends are colorful story tellers. I guess you have to believe any crap from them at your own peril.

ItsTutsi:
bunch of delusional fustrated fools! where did the success take u too!? ..did it bring back the pigdiot bleaching cow

The above post sounded like the product of a wasted human effort.

Bunch of irrelevant fools.

Yet the courts in Nigeria are busy releasing the captured Boko Haram fighters. Nigeria is even a glorified shithole. It might be worse than a shithole.

The northern region of Nigeria Islamic elites have always used Yari.ba and the minority nationalities in Nigeria to achieve their political ambitions. It is a shame.

The release of Boko Horam fighters by the a judge in Nigeria while mere supporters of IPOB and Biafra tells a story about Nigeria. The Boko Haram has no quam about creating a Caliphate in northern region of Nigeria and have even fought and continue to fight for it. In the other hand, the IPOB supporters have carried no arm aggression against Nigeria but only precipitated innocuous demonstration yet the Nigerian and Northern Nigeria elites have the audacity to keep the IPOB supporters in jail. It is tale of two cities. From the one going in the shithole called Nigeria, it is safe to say to that northern region of Nigeria is completely worthless. If not, why should the acclaimed Boko Haram fighters who have fought and continue to carry out armed aggression against Nigeria be released by the judiciary system in Nigeria while the IPOB supporters who have never carried out any form of aggression against Nigeria are still kept in jail and being prosecuted too? Northern elites who have been on the leadership of the shithole called Nigeria are terribly scared about losing the source of their ill-gotten wealth if Biafra is created.

Yari.ba men are the only human beings who keep one concubine on every street of Local Government Area in Yari.ba land.

SakuraSimiola:
Why do you want biafra?

Because Nigeria is a shithole.
