So on point number 1 you agree that they lack unity amongst themselves? So whose fault is that anyway? Or you want to also blame that on afonjeezys, muslims or tiv people?


Then on point number 2! Who forces your igbo cousins to spend billions in lagos? Why are they averse to spending the same billions in anambara, enugu, Imo or ebonyi? Or is there a federal law that deprives them of investing in their own region the same way they do in others? Why can't you people ever pick one lane and stick to it!

An average igbo man is a business minded person who sees profitable venture and ventures into it. He doesn't care about the location, he just spends his money there. The Nigerian system has made some places economically viable e.g lagos and made many other places economically redundant and what they should be known for is just agriculture and other menial job opportunities. If the system doesnt give all states equal opportunities to develop, then the business minded people will not as a matter patriotism run at loss because they want to keep their businesses in their villages. So, you do not blame the average igbo man if he spends his money where he can get returns.

Nigeria has not been advantageous for the igbo growth and it is until things are done about it, then we will still be facing these crazy things.

Dude, find time so we can chat.... that application is overdue.... We have to play our part..... buzz me when you're less busy.

That is cool bro,

I will buzz you by evening and we will do something about these constant bad news coming from the east.

We igbos are not going to get anything from Nigeria except we take it. These men have no longing to come to the east and do anything tangible because they did not map igboland as part of their economic plan.

These leaders should understand that this is the time to take the disadvantage of this country and make it their own advantage. They should stop complaining and make real decisions that will affect the lives of an average igboman. All the so called political leaders are shifting weight, this is to show you all that these men care less about the region but just their immediate families.

Are u also aware that one of the largest power generating stations is located in the north? I hope u know the power stations in the north are fully sufficient for the north alone? Or are u telling me that kainji, shiroro, mambila and jebba hydroelectric power stations can't provide 24hr supply to the north even at low output? Boy, the north is not holding u back for anything. Stop blaming the north for ur problems. The north has its peculiar problems affecting it but stop all these rubbish about the north holding u back bla bla bla.
U make noise about how the north is poor due to this and that, then brag about how u are rich in the south because of ur education bla bla bla, only for u to turn again and say the north is still holding u back, how do u reconcile this very illogical self contradictory claims?
Left for u lots, the northerners should not even occupy any position in this country so that u have more reasons to talk more about poverty in the north. Up till now, the north has not filled its positions in the civil service and even some of its slots are still filled by these southerners who claim north thereby occupying northern slots and it still remains on records that way. Imagine, Chinedu, "from Kebbi State" or Akpan "from Kaduna State", how? This is as funny as Tanko "from Imo state". Very funny but that is how it looks. About 95% of fed govt agencies in the south are occupied by the southerners but the same southerners compete favourably with northerners in northern based fed govt agencies. Some of these media propaganda are gradually opening our eyes to many things we are being deprived in this country and by God grace, proper enquiries will be conducted to set some of these things right, just a matter of time.
Meanwhile, stop blaming the north for ur problems.

I do not argue but when I see posts like the ones you have been posting, I feel the need to correct your assertions.

The north ruled the country for almost 38years and they took all the dams to the north and neglected the coal and flared the gas in the south. If you are a good student of engineering, you will understand that these days hydro-power is becoming an 'alternative source of power' in dry regions because of low water level experienced by those regions. If the government have invested 30years ago in gas and coal power generation, then our power situation will have reduced by 3-quarter. Now, they are still building more dams in the north when there is a rising trend of desertification in that region. Not smart bro.

Someone asked that what is the consequences of bokoharam on the south. I think it is not for you to just come online and ask questions before evaluating your questions. In syria today, some parts are peaceful and not really attacked by isis basically due to the high military security of that region. If you as an investor is asked to invest in syria, what will you think about the offer? You will vehemently refuse because the country has been on the headlines for terror attacks and you will not dare to go visit talk-less of investing. That is the same effect bokoharam has on our investors' attracting capacity. Or have you not seen major companies leaving Kano?

Moreso, about the bokoharam, your representatives from the north have asked all Nigerians to pay 3% VAT to bokoharam affected areas when it is glaring that it is your own people that destroyed your lands and not an igbo man from nnewi. Why should i pay additional vat when you did not pay additional vat for destroying my land?

The north provides food that the south buys, but the southern lands are been desecrated everyday to share money to the northern leaders. You cannot build a company in the north without having a northerner in the company. A northerner heads the warri, portharcourt and kaduna refineries while the people in the state have been sending applications without any good news. You guys do not affect the south indeed.

I do not blame the northerners though, they have the power and they are using it well. I blame the southerners who do not understand the rudiments of leadership and have spent their whole lives impoverishing their brothers to have fake relevance in the country.

i go on but i believe there is no need to say more.

when you want to see discrimination, you will see it there the most.
even when i was staying in a compound owned by a yoruba man, i weak at their discrimination bros.

STEPS TO RETRIEVE YOUR MONEY IN TWO DAYS FROM;

Since the resumption of MMM Nigeria on the 13th of January 2017, it has had glitches when matching participants to get paid. Speaking as a true believer in the system, you should know that those glitches are caused by ongoing upgrade which was not concluded during the freeze period but MMM just had to keep to their resumption promise.
Below is an exclusive step by step guide on how to get your money out of MMM Nigeria within 2days. It is not a guarantee but a solution, because most joined MMM for the money and not the ideology of the community.

1. Keep Donating in MMM Nigeria
The truth is that if we stop to donate in MMM Nigeria, we don’t get donations; so erase the selfish mindset that you won’t donate again once you get your money out.

2 Do Not Panic
If we panic we are the ones to lose and not the admin or the founders of MMM Nigeria, so if you must get your money back, you have to take away panic from your personal dictionary and also encourage everyone around you not to. To lose hope now is to lose the money in full.

3. Do Not Discourage People from Joining
The bitter truth is that some guiders are in this category, you claim to be a guider of an ideology that gave you financial freedom for months but loose faith in a minor trying period. Am ashamed to call you guys my colleagues. If we discourage others from joining we suffer the consequences because nobody will be matched to pay us and you just see your mavro in Numbers and not in real cash… I am sure you don’t want that.

4. Admins in MMM Nigeria is not with your Money
The admins of MMM Nigeria or any peer to peer donation site or the founder is not with your money so you can’t hold them. Your money is in the pocket of participants like you who have donated before you.

5. Keep Sharing Positive Testimonies
If u call it 419 or SCAM,you will loose your money because those who are supposed to pay you need your testimony to be motivated to join and actively participate.

6. Pay up your PH
If you refuse to pay to someone don’t expect to receive because nobody will pay you. Because MMM Nigeria operates on the principles of crowd Funding.

7. Register only Ready Participants
If the site gets chocked with people who are not serious because of referral bonus you will be the one to lose and not the admin or founder.

8. Be positive about MMM Nigeria
Let’s mind what we say or post about MMM Nigeria or the way we portray the community outside is what will determine if more people will join or run

9. Don't Quit MMM Nigeria Now
Okay this is the real thing, If everyone leaves MMM Nigeria to other communities out there, it is just a matter of time for them to also face this because as they expand they will have similar issues as this. So keep the love for MMM Nigeria real in your heart with you constant donation.
As humans I know we are in need and that’s why we are agitated; a little patience, a positive mindset and our good words will help us overcome this period and get our money back.

10. Share This
The probability of you getting your money back depends fully on how many people have access to the basic truth guiding the MMM community. The media who know nothing about MMM Nigeria are constantly spreading hate. Remember their money isn’t on MMM, it is your money that is there so sharing this piece of information goes along way and quickens the rate at which you get your money back.
Share this to keep MMM Nigeria alive and afloat.

create a thread on this.

i need someone to take his time and explain things to me. i need ur help

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

I want to ask some few questions and I need someone to enlighten me.

1. Please, how easy is it for someone to get a visa to canada through conference .

2. The federal skilled workers scheme, can someone kindly educate on how to get it done and how long it will take?

3. Apart from using student visa, what are the other better ways of getting the visa.

Please i need education on these.

thank you

victorvezx:
Don't mind them. They think Nigeria is just Igbo, Hausa And Yoruba like they taught them in Primary school. There is up to 300 different ethnic groups, many of them are minorities who should be the ones complaining and not a majority tribe like the Igbo that is always crying like babies

I really want to get something from you. Because ethnic minorities are not complaining, the igbos should not complain?

Nairalanders in Akure the Ondo state capital made a trip to the largest coastline in West Africa in Araromi seaside in And State.....

Getting down to the site, a 3hr drive from akure, one would wonder if our leaders who go on various vacations to the Carribeans are so dead to this precious jewel waiting to be explored! We bring you pictures!

@paulsibility, @temitopar, @ajoskele @leshluap

ewo paulsibility ati temitopar o, east na villagi!!!

In that picture, I know paul, temitope and lesluap. They were all uniben students.

Paul was my roomie in 200 level, he was in 100 level then while temitope came for his diploma. Those other guys came to visit him often.

To show that i know him very well, paul was a member of man o war.

@paulsibility and @temitopar, east na villagi!!!!

You remember our arguments then?

@niyificent, I think you studied a course in the medical faculty then and also a member of the man o war.

omonnakoda:
His recognition was not material . Whether he recognized or not he did not have a say, authority or power. It is like asking whether the goat recognizes Aboki as its owner



That is something that is only in Ojukwu's head.We can only go by his word and pronouncements I,e the first time that he pronounced publicly that he did not recognize Gowon.By that time Awolowo had long been released
What is more important is whether the Prison officers recognized Gowon and whether they obeyed him The answer is yes both times

Very wrong comparism, Mr.

You have failed again.

Now, lets go further, can you explain in clear terms the mode of governance in regions.

Can you list things that will happen in a region in 1966 that will not need the approval of the regional governor?

Can you also list personnel or workers not under the approval of the regional governors. with proof please.

omonnakoda:
That is not relevant. Was Ojukwu the comptroller of prisons?
Was he the Head of the Army in Enugu ?

No he was not.
Between July 29 And August 1 when Gowon made his announcements and there were killings in Ibadan ,,Abeokuta and so on.Who was in charge of the Military in Enugu and what did they do
The commander of the Enugu based 1st battalion, Lt-Col David Ogunewe. On learning of the mass murder taking place in other military formations in the country, Lt-Col Ogunewe locked his battalion’s armoury and placed it under the joint guard of northern and southern officers. He also encouraged northern and southern soldiers to live together in the mess and grounds of the battalion

Ojukwu was not at that time in control of Enugu .To pretend he had any say over prisons in Calabar is a perverse joke.
Shehu Musa Yar'adua was adjutant in Enugu and his role allegedly was to kill Ojukwu. Eventually Ojukwu negotiated repatriation of Northern Soldiers but he was most likely in hiding by the time Awolowo was released

More conjectures to make it look like you were right. To be frank, you just played around the question.

Did ojukwu recognise gowon as the head of state at the time of release?

omonnakoda:
How was it Ojukwu's territory? Awo was released within 2 days of Gowon coming to office.
Before you can talk of Ojukwu accepting or rejecting Gowon's authority first we must be clear when did Ojukwu first speak with Gowon after August 1. What we know to be facts are these
1. Gowon Took over 1 August
2. He signed Awo's release 2 August
3. Awo was released 3 August

So we are being told that somewhere between 2 and 3 August Ojukwu being set in his head that he did not accept Gowon's authority stlll released Awo and sent him off to Lagos to Gowon

That is FANTASY

Military Governors were not Brigade commanders or anything like that they were not even in the Barracks.

Ojukwu was in Government House Enugu. At the time of the Coup ,July 27 he was not in operational command of the soldiers in Enugu not to talk of Calabar before we start talking of the prison.
Nigeria was relatively backward then. No express roads ,the Airforce base in PH was the main airport.

This idea that Ojukwu as Governor of the East or the other Military governors were Military commanders of the regions is PURE FANTASY. The military chain of command did not work that way. That is like suggesting Brigade Commanders or GOCs took orders from governors.

Since you are throwing out conjectures here and there, let us follow logical lines and see where we will head to with this argument.

Do you accept the fact that Ojukwu did not recognise gowon as head of state?

BabaRamota1980:
Ogbeni yi, go and sit in one corner.

Wetin concern Governor-General for matter between Head of State and Governor?

Man, you did not know what happened then, so I will permit you to focus on people who know less like you to give them points.

BabaRamota1980:
We had a minister of interior who was the overall custodian of prisons. He took orders from Gowon not Ojukwu.

Took orders from Gowon without the acknowledging the governor general of a particular region?

Have you held a post before which entails a little bit of politics?

Why will such a big thing happen in my region and I won't be a signatory to?

Go into governance and see what it takes.

BabaRamota1980:
obeisance carries with it a weight of heirarchy, respect does not.

What are you trying to say?

Like I said earlier, you spend much time on the grammar than the fact.

Ojukwu did not recognize Gowon as head of state then he couldn't have facilitated his release from prison. We should not change what happened just because it favours our ego.

Cessa0:
nw hez a Christian, not a single religious criticism ws seen frm d comments above... but if he happened to bear a muslim name, they'll put it on deir head lyk pple selling gala...

"if i do sth wrong, blame me not my religion"

how is this too hard for pple to assimilate

He did it because we know him as militant. he did not do for a celestial cause.

you see the difference now?

BabaRamota1980:

news authored by okonkwo. Uncredible just for the name alone.

Awo is what politicians call a collateral or an asset.

If indeed Ojukwu released Awo and did not negotiate nor secure any bargain for exchange of that highly valuable Nigerian asset at a time of open conflict, then it would mean he is even far more incompetent and worse than Aguiyi Ironsi in mental deficiencies than earlier thought. He is what is called "apoda" in Yoruba. Apoda is worse than dullard.

Seriously, I Dont argue with people who concentrate more on their English than the fact there.

Answer this question:

Will I obey you if I Dont recognize you as someone I can respect?

Stop all these lies and be logical.

This news will show you that Ojukwu released awolowo and not the other way round. read down

Mickael2:
I am not really saying that I'm sure but you have a point there. I wouldn't be a bit suprised if her Jamb and WAEC results aren't even hers(you understand what I mean by that). This years Jamb and WAEC don turn to full time rubbish so it's hard to really understand if she is the owner. Looking at that result intensively, I do not think that it is possible for someone with B2 in Maths to get a C4 in physics, I have been in the WAEC system for a while between 2011-2013, in most cases, physics grades are better than maths grades. I will still check that her school to know if it's a malpractice zone, or if it's one of these schools that pay for good WAEC grades for marketing purposes

Mr, I got A1 in maths and got C4 in physics ( because I did not write objective in the exam). So, your point doesn't hold.

Please, never ever give birth in a hausa / Fulani dominated area. its for the child's safety. I am not hating, I know they have very low IQ.

This ondo nysc orientation camp is worse. Am currently there now. Both the hostel and other basic facilities are in a poor state of condition. This place is so fucking bad. Can't wait to get out of the horrible camp. The govt should find a solution to this menace.

Apart from the environment, I enjoyed life there. Always lively in the evenings. I dunno how your set will be but my time was super cool

Raymysterio:
I did my Orientation here 6 years ago... what happened? although, my hostel was one of the newly constructed. It was called Agagu lodge. Closed to the mosque. My bed was next to the Comedian Funny Bone...and his compatriot Ben Okoma. Lovely experience...

I served there about the same time and Agagu hall was the best then. Its even close to the kitchen.

ikare-akoko, land of yams!

bantudra:
what has boko to do with this...??

you killed them first..that is fact..

blackmailing us will not work...

all of una should migrate to europe and bloody stay their...

since you love them so much that you rather speak with them than to speak with us..

go to them and stay with them..

all 50million of you should migrate to europe since you love them so much...

we will even finance the transport...just go already!..

The military did not even say their men were killed rather they said they exercised highest form of restraint. That is to say, from the video, they were applying the "highest form of restraint" by taking position to shoot.

You must really be a bad man.

I do not think he intended to steal the phone.

thedarkside:
was nigeria not only southern and northern regions..?..
what makes you think you can leave without the yorubas?..
yoruba dont join,we no go join!..
take it or let it...we dont care...

OK then
Goodnight bro.

math001:
I'm glad we can come to an agreement.

In light of this singular statement, I drop hostilities FOR NOW, except if I am directly provoked again.

As for the already outstanding people on ground, we'll still settle our scores.

Pazienza dragged Urhobo into this fight, and we gave him the "Igbo treatment" with a minority touch.

Okay, I think you have a long score to settle.

thedarkside:
you are the ones that want biafra,not us..

we see no profit for us in creating biafra..

if you realy want biafra,you must drag the entire southern nigeria with you along..

if yoruba dont join,we no go join...

thats your only chance of getting biafra..

I think some other people will beg to differ.

You are only adding them without much thought about it.

Just take a few minutes before you say more.

Ngozi123:
Please stop replying that poster. He/she is a notorious Igbo hater who's too afraid to come out and admit that they're a tribalist for some reason. I'm ignoring him as he tends to add nothing to a debate other than to sit back and add his two cents whilst egging other anti-Igbo tribalists on but I just wanted to warn you about the type of person you're dealing with here, just in case you didn't know . Blues2020 warned me about him and I thought I'd do the same for someone else .

Thanks dear,

I will take your advice.
