Lol,I don't even read it.time is precious to waste on such article.
I read better things,and not craps.



...and I am a fact finder,not craps reader.

What else defines act of ignorance or stupidity when one comments negatively on article he/she did not even care to read?

gulfer:
Since nobody has bothered to ask this question, I think I should; @OP, how did you deduce these robbers are fulanis? From your point of origin, you are Igbo and I am not surprised your hasty conclusion that the robbers are Fulani and not your money-crazed brothers.

Do you realized that the robbers did not kill the people they robbed? Those who were robbed and allowed to continue their journey informed other road users what is taking place in front of them. I guess the robbed road users informed the OP about the character of the perpetrators. Per the bolded, this is the worst case of illogicality. Does it mean that a Fulani or Yoruba cannot initiate a journey from where the OP stated? Nigerians are wasteful. No wonder there is a call for disintegration of Nigeria.

naijapips02:
What's igbo Then? biafra?. I'm never anti igbo. I'm just anti biafra and the last time I checked, igbos have not come out as a group to say they support biafra

Who gives a ratass if you are anti naijapips02? I seen people in your class of humans protest against themselves. I guess will not commit suicide because of Biafra.

1. Who was the very first person ever named Miss Nigeria, and why did she not become a Nigerian, post independence?

2. Who remembers those that played the roles of “courtima” (if you don’t know this term, you should probably never get involved in the Ikwerre-Igbo debates) and why did their Western & Northern Nigerian counterparts not pervert history and justice in their respective regions of Nigeria?

3. If Ikwerre’s were Igbo’s, why did part of the Biafra military strategy include the extermination and genocide of the Ikwerre’s? Please note that there were more saboteurs within and amongst ndi Igbo, than elsewhere in Nigeria – even till the present day.

4. If Igbo’s were so magnanimous to ameliorate their excesses in pre-historic Nigeria, dating back to the early stages of both the “white man’s & ottoman’s” slave trades, how come they are yet to resolve their osu caste system – even until the present day? Let’s go one step further to truly see how much they know of the Ikwerre, can our Igbo learned and intelligent friends account for the Igbo’s direct profiteering, racketeering, and shenanigans during the slave trade periods, as it pertains to its surrounding neighbors, including the Ikwerre's?

5. If Ikwerre’s were Igbo’s, why were they not consulted like the other Igbo clans on the eve of Ahiara War Declarations by Odumegwu Ojukwu? If our learned friends claim that Ikwerre’s were consulted, please provide name(s) of the Ikwerre representatives.

6. Why did southern Cameroon vote to not become part of Nigeria at independence – even though they knew their Hausa/Fulani dominated northern Cameroon were an evil empire? Really, you would rather associate with an evil empire than align with your next door neighbors – if we go by the theory of Igbo’s about the Ikwerre’s?

7. Speaking about Cameroonians, what was the real underlying issue about Bakassi and (like the Ikwerre’s), the peace loving peoples of Ambazonia? Why would they not want to become part of a vibrant and thriving nation like Nigeria – even till this day? What really happened?

8. Going further, who remembers pre-historic Nigeria and Cameroon showing Igbo influences stretching past the Calabar river banks, as Far East, as Mamfe and Bamenda in the Cameroons – why did it shrink back to the present day Igbo boundaries? Better yet, just like Cameroon dragged Nigeria to court over Bakassi, why have the Igbo’s not dragged their case to court, if they know the anthropological, sociological, and ethno-linguistic genesis of the Ikwerre’s?

9. The word “Biafra” is not an Igbo word – at least, am hoping they have not also started claiming it is – so, where/what is Biafra, from which the Gulf/Bight of Biafra was originally named on every world map prior to 1969? Hint: Ojukwu could not and did not coin the word !!! Since most Igbo’s immediately from birth, seem to know more about the history and origin of Ikwerre people, it is assumed this question is also a piece of cake for them

10. Last, but more importantly:

a. When were the original Ogbakor Ikwerre (excluding the ones in diaspora) and Ohaneze ndi Igbo organizations created?

b. If Ikwerre’s are seating on the high tables at Ohaneze ndi Igbo, how come the Igbo’s have never allowed these so called Ikwerre members of Ohaneze to speak by themselves to their own Ikwerre people and in a language the Ikwerre’s would understand – why are Igbo’s always the only ones doing the talking and claiming? Egyptians were not busy advertising Moses as justification for the Jews to remain in Egypt, considering the Jews never forgot their homelands, but may have adopted Egyptian and Roman names to survive the times; a good percentage of people from Sierra Leone in West Africa all have similar names and features like the Yoruba’s of Nigeria – one wonders why Nigeria’s Yoruba states are not wasting resources and time running around telling other Yoruba’s of West Africa they must claim Nigerian origin and ancestry; Native Americans of the present generation might have blue eyes, some blonde, and cannot speak a word of Apache, Cherokee, Hopi, Navajos (I know because I’ve lived among them), yet the Igbo’s would have you believe they are Igbo’s too, if given the chance; and, these same Igbo’s would be the first to tell you not to call them African Americans – since there are no Igbo racial categories in any American ethno-demographic profiles.

c. Is it true that because Igbo’s outnumber every other ethnic group by a margin of 10:1 in pre-war Sabon Gari district of Kano, therefore, everyone within that environment is Igbo – was that what Igbo’s were claiming to spark the pogroms that ignited the Biafra war? (see this citation). Is it also true that because Tiv’s in Nigeria speak Hausa and share common names and traditions, they are Hausa people? How about our friends in Ghana, is it true that because the word Twi is pronounced Chi, it has the same Igbo meaning, therefore, of Igbo origin?

d. Giving a speech recently, during a meeting of South East elders held in Owerri, Imo State, on March 5, 2010 the honorable Odumegwu Ojukwu, asked Igbo’s: “Howbeit, it is a well known fact that in every State in Nigeria outside Igbo land, Ndigbo always constitutes the second largest population next to the indigenous population” – why is that? How come no other ethnic population in Nigeria can come close to, much less boast of, being always the 2nd largest population outside of their own ethnic enclaves, wherever they go?

e. Has anyone heard of/about “Hausa Elele”? Yes, these are true Hausa’s from Elele, in Ikwerre Nigeria – are they Igbo’s too? Could it be that Ikwerre’s had learned their lesson with Igbo’s that they did not allow this strategic political expansion to continue with impunity? Perhaps, we would be arguing today of how Ikwerre’s are Hausa’s, if we had also kept silent in this regard.

f. For the longest time, even before the creation of Rivers State, who consistently prevented, and orchestrated the eccentricities that thwarted, the creation of Port Harcourt state, if Ikwerre’s were Igbo’s?

It is funny and a bit of intrigue why you have not concerned yourself with people like Ngwa, Wawa and Uratta in your fondness of Ikwerre.

A Nigerian lady was at the High Court in Jos, Plateau State, yesterday. She was however barred from gaining entrance into the court premises because she was putting on a pair of trousers. She later
took to Twitter to vent about it

Nigeria for young lady. There is no progress in the dungeon even though there is one useless political party called APC in power.

These jokers are just like their forbearers who chased shadows. They are on the wrong part. The losers should, first of all, fight for honesty even among themselves. Secondly, they should fight against institutionalized tribalism such as quota system, federal characters and geopolitical zone crap. He who wants equity must come with a clean hand. Nigerians are very good at deceiving themselves. I guess a born joker remains a joker through the lifespan.

texazzpete:
So the numerous training courses he attended on his way to being a General, what were those?

Ironically, 90% of the people that accuse Buhari of being an 'illiterate' are themselves poorly educated, sporting lackluster IQs and lack common sense. You're a sterling example.

Do you know his prerequisite at the USA war college in Carlisle, PA? You are the one that had concluded that Buhari is an illiterate. By the way, anybody who can read and write is not an illiterate. Therefore the onus is on you to clarify your insinuation.

judiciarypalava:
An analog man that never attempted Government, Economics as basic courses in WASC and had F9s in Mathematics and Woodwork. Failed to upgrade himself by way of workshops, seminars, leadership trainings, book writing or any publication to show that learning and constant personal development is on.

In my opinion, he has nothing to offer this generation.

Bros Muhammadu Buhari never sat for WASC. Read the history of NPC and emergency saga of 1961/2 when the Daura Dumbass was corruptibly pampered into the Nigerian armed forces officers' cadre.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]If we had said these people display inferior intellect, it would look as if we are attacking other people. See how they are doing it on a national level now. He makes a claim and boldly puts up proof that makes his claim false, while calling it proof that makes that claim true.
Meanwhile there was no neeed.
With or without his post, we already knew his claim was a lie. ~ South-south Ijaw[/size]

With your so-called superior intellect, yet you did not figure out that poster may not be Igbo?

Britain is the main reason the world finds itself in awkward position. Britain can go to hell for I all care. When DT becomes the president of USA, you bloody liver hearted pigs are toast.

Is there no reasonable evidence or trend of terrorist acts to ban Muslims from entering USA?

This is pure individual competency and tenacity without any backing from military/civilian led federal government of Nigeria.

joseph1832:
LMFAO! Like the young Biafra forced Nigeria to smile from 1967 to 1970 right?

Abeg bros wake up. Una just dey deceive una sef!

Mind you, Biafra was not allowed a day of peace in 1967. Again, today can never be 1967.

joseph1832:
And did that airport operate during the day? The planes they have then, are they the same with the planes we have now?

Bros, you're very fast indeed! You still can not fathom what it takes to build an international airport.

I had being involved in building international airports aready. Are you an engineer?

joseph1832:
And did that airport operate during the day? The planes they have then, are they the same with the planes we have now?

Bros, you're very fast indeed! You still can not fathom what it takes to build an international airport.

Per the bolded, what type of silly mindset do you have? Biafra does not mean war. Biafrans international airports shall be operational day and night. Are you the one to stop Biafran airports from being operational?

joseph1832:
So? Nigeria and Ghana are still allies aren't they?

If you guys get your Biafra (that is in your dreams) do you seriously believe Nigeria will be smiling with you? Like I told bitterleafsoup, look at North and South Korea, and have a serious rethink.

If Nigeria refuse to smile with a young Biafra, then the grown Biafra will force Nigeria to smile period.

joseph1832:
Dude you're just here typing and deceiving yourself. You want to fly in your goods? With which plane? Is there any international airport in igboland like the ones in Lagos and Abuja? And even if there are, what's the level of patronage?

Please use reason and logic when you debate, don't just guess and call it reason. Its a bore really.

You are very slow. Ndiigbo built airport under the moonlight that accommodated any cargo plane of any size during the war. What do you think they will do in peace time and under sunlight?

joseph1832:
Oh yea. You remember the fame 'Ghana Must Go' right? You remember what Gadafi did to those Nigerians who live in Libya as at then? Yea, the policy is insane indeed.

I remembered the Busia policy in 1970 or 72 and it did not affect the property owned by Nigerians in Ghana. However, you should remember the retaliatory policy of Nigeria in 1978/79. Again, the "Ghana Must Go Policy" only affected the immigration aspect of it but the properties owned by Ghanaians in Nigeria. My father in-law was in Ghana when idiotic Busia of Ghana started the craziness that Nigerians must leave Ghana. In fact, he never lasted beyond six months and he was overthrown.

joseph1832:
Did you ask yourself if those four rivers are deep enough for ships to sail through? Or how much it will cost a new country like Biafra who doesn't even a currency of purchasing power to dredge it?

Think oh bros. Abeg think well well.

We can still fly in our goods. Are you also going to close the air space down too? The manner in which you write shows you do not even where the Igbo land starts and ends.

joseph1832:
You can shove your visa up your ass dear. I'm happy in the centre of excellence! Besides, have you guys ever thought of what will happen to the billions of investments your kith and kin have in Lagos and other part of the country? No, I don't think you even think of that.

The sooner you guys wake up, the better it is for you.

The stream of thoughts being espoused by most Nigerians beg for redemption. Ghana achieved independence before Nigeria. When Nigeria got its independence did not mean that all properties owned by Nigerians in Ghana should be forfeited. Most Nigerians own properties all over world. There is no clause that deny them the right to their property simply because they are not the citizen of the country where property is situated. Biafra gaining independence does not negate the rights of Ndigbo or any Biafran over the property he/she owned in Lagos. There is no civilized country that would pursue such insane policy.

Kagawa10:
LOL!
Nigeria owns the borders and can do whatever they like with it!

Are you this slow? Which border does Nigeria own? No country owns a border by itself. Nigerian education also sucks too.

joseph1832:
My statemen are not the ones clamoring for Biafra are they? So, let's talk about those clamoring for Biafra, if they can't even develop their own state, how in HELL will they do so when they secede. That is if they secede.

Ndiigbo can never develop as an integral part of Nigeria. This prevailing atmosphere is one of the reasons Ndiigbo must secede from the British contraption called Nigeria. The geographical expression known as Nigeria is worse than dead-end.

Kagawa10:
The reality is Nigeria don't need to fight biafra anyway like Awolowo envisaged in the latter part of the civil war!
All Nigeria needs is to block the borders to prevent food, investments nor shipment to your phantom Biafra and the same kwarshiokor fate would be wrought once again!

I guess you should remember today is not 1967. In addition, the dude from Adamawa State is no longer the president of Cameroon.

Bitterleafsoup:
Only time can tell. After what Rwanda went through could you believe that they would be doing better then Nigeria? We are a positive thinking people that is why we are so successful.

Any hole can do better than Nigeria. It sucks to be a Nigerian.

oduastates:
Every single one of those country has a unique geographical, demographical,historical and cultural selling point.


Switzerland and Luxembourg are simply extentions of Germany,France. They enjoy and share in the goodwill of their parent countries in much the same way the Anglo countries US,Canada,Australia,United Kingdom and new Zealand share their success and economic bounty.
Those countries can be regarded as manaco with presidents.
Botswana is blessed with ridiculous numbers and variety of wildlife. That is before you consider her proximity to south Africa which she has been able to leverage as a laid back sanctuary for people who want to escape the bustle of south Africa
Ethiopia is a centre of civilisation.

Per the bolded, a stark uneducated outburst. Nigeria is a dummy.

NOBODYY:
The diffrence btw the aforementioned countries & biafra is clear

You will be surrounded by enemies..

Any country that make itself enemy to Biafra will be crushed.

Igbo land has too many oil thus palm oil. I mean oyel is oyel. South-south does not exist in my vocabulary.

VickyRotex:
This is too bad!!!



Dont be silly, we're talking about human lives here. Damn!!!

Does it matter how human life is ended? It could come through economic strangulation as the federal government of Nigeria has subjected the people south eastern states or gun or suicide.

joseph1832:
Yes be that as it may, I still believe the idea of Biafra is just a means for some disgruntled south easterners to cause trouble. They should know not every easterners buy the idea of Biafra.

I'll even want to ask them why they didn't launch this ridiculous crusade during the past administration, how come they're launching it now? The guise of marginalization is just a ruse they want to use to stir trouble.

Even a goat knew that MASSOB was formed following the election of Obasanjo as president in 1999. In addition, Radio Biafra was launched in 2009 when Goodluck Jonathan was a VP. Most Nigerians are apathetic to historical facts and seemed to commit irreparable blunders when they open their putrid mouth. How can a country progress when it is filled with bunch of individuals who are prone to destroy constructive approach to problem solving?
