PrinceOfLagos:
The truth can never be hidden

God bless senator Danjuma Goje and Pat asadu for speaking up against this injustice against the Igbos by Buhari government.

It feels good knowing that there are so many northern leaders that are not pleased with the high level of wickedness Buhari government has shown the igbos .

The northern senators even reminded the Buhari government that the economy of south east is bigger than that of Niger republic .


According to the senators : “So if we approve this budget for you, you will go and do Kano-Maradi standard rail line and do a narrow gauge rehabilitation for the South-East. My heart bleeds.

“Instead of doing the right thing, you are now giving us this one as what will enhance the economy of Niger and Nigeria, while the economy of Nigerians especially those who have the containers and who are always on the road are given a narrow gauge rehabilitation.”

Similarly, Danjuma Goje, said, “I concur with you because we have consistently challenged the minister.


Which tribe have the containers and always on the road if not the Igbos ...

God will continue to bless and prosper the Igbos even if Buhari like it or not .

You ignoramus. As ignorant as the lawmakers you quoted. If south east economy is that big why are the people not staying put there instead of littering other cities with their gala and pure water in traffic business.
The railway line is not built based of sentiments but economic consideration. The economic benefits is huge and no sentiments will stop that. Funnily its easterners that will benefit more ftomit because it will mean more access to more markets elsewhere in Africa.
Una no talk when Nigeria built a bridge to link cameroon.....the west african coastal countries are linked with Nigeria gas....that is not an issue afterall its linking southerners with west africa....northerners dont deserve it....bloody hypocrites.
Apart from the new trains all other rail tracks are narrow guage....we cant just abandon them....whats wrong with rehabilitating and using them while building new ones. Lagos to kano narrow guage was first made to function before construction of new one began.....thats the intention of rehabilitating PH maiduguri narrow guage.
If you are looking for blame then it should be to PDP that wasted 16 years and couldnt do more than replace the stones on the railtracks while embezzling billions voted for railway rehabilitation

Coly2012:
If you have Sean, you should have no that IPOB made the election to be peaceful,if not for intervention of leaders no soul could have come out to vote, I thought you people were saying before the IPOB is an online nation, but governors, traditional rules,bishops and even the security agencies were on there toes beging IPOB to allow the election hold. I beg give IPOB some respect for once.

Ipob have once again proven to be an unserious organization that dont know what they really want and can easily be bought over
What is the essence if its agitations and name calling if it still goes ahead and endorse an election in Nigeria when they have been screaming biafra or nothing....no refrendum no election...the pattern is now familiar.....whenever election is approaching ramp up the noise of succession so as to be able to strike a hard bargain and go with the highest bidder....kanu did it pre 2011, 2015 and 2019 elections and his lieutenants are gearing up to repeat the now familiar tactics in 2023.
People dont have any iota of respect for IPOB....they only fear and avoid their violence

thebosstrevor1:
Government can fight inflation by Price control. The reason why we have inflation is mostly because of greedy middle men inflating the prices of goods and services.

A price control will drastically reduce the cost of goods and services.

If Nigerians want to overcome inflation they can either start investing in government bonds, Treasury bills, start a profitable business or invest in btc or ethereum.

Middlemen are a part of the problem
When Buhari said it....they said he is making excuse.
The other problem is the citizens themselves
Nigeria is at least 80% sufficient in rice production but citizens stubbornly insist they wont eat local rice and will rather die than eat local rice...they dont mind foreign rice smuggled inside petrol cans or expired foreign rice as far as it is foreign....some even do it to spite government because they dont like the president

10mobile:
A few days ago, it was reported that the Buhari Government may remove the petroleum subsidy completely at the start to mid-2022. When that happens, the petroleum pump price is expected to rise higher than N1,000.

Dont be an alarmist.....nothing like this is going to happen.

Bornbiafra:
It is no longer news that IGBOs have strong hatred for a scam party like APC ,this is evidence in the just concluded Anambra election

Advice to all

Igbos are wise and not to be fooled anymore buy this scam party called APC

If not for some senseless governor in south east who decamped to APC in bid to cover their loots ,(because according to them once you are in APC all your looting are overlooked)APC wouldn't have gotten any state from south east and south south

Party of doomed....it shall not be well with the founders of that party

All Governors that decamped to this useless party should know this now ..

YOU ALL WILL LOSE ....ASK GODSWILL AKPABIO HOW FAR

Akpabio is a winner in Apc....is it easy to be a minister in a party you just joined?

Party wey all of una dey beg to give his presidential candidate to iboman.....abegi

When all the euphoria of Soludo win clear for your eyes you will go back to begging yorubas in Apc to allow an iboman emerge because the only way an iboman will ever emerge president is through APC since PDP has told you repeatedly they found none of you worthy of being a president.
Meanwhile you can decleare sit at home now ......

AlexBells:
I was born a in catholic Igbo home, I had never smoked the last time I got drunk was when I was around 18 the day we finished secondary school, I'm 26 now, I had not tasted alcohol for quite a long time, so this is not what you think, I frown at anarchy and disorder and I like the assessment of capacity

Shows in your reasoning

Odingo1:
You don’t know your Koran very well, a copied work from the Bible that also acknowledged the story of Messiah as it was in the Bible. You are also mocking your low budget Mohammed Koran plagiarism of Christian Bible.

Really?
Tell me something i dont know
So its also in the bible that a believer will have 7 virgins waiting for them in heaven. Okay
So all those violence chapters of the koran you people always like quoting were actually copied from the bible....interesting

Odingo1:
Stop lying, Mohammed and his followers committed the greatest genocide on earth. Islam is all about conquest, porn sex with abducted slaves women and children to the extent that you are promise 77 virgins in heaven by Mohammed.

Both Islam and Christianity committed killings in the past. Islam was spread through war, slavery and conquest.

Olden days have passed and we are living in modern world therefore all religion agree that the olden days of religious killings have to stop but Islam refused and continued olden days killings that most religion is known of in the past when word is still in darkness. That is why moslems are seen as terrorist all over the world because they still believe in killings non moslems, rape and child marriage.

I said it
Next thing is olden days have passed
As if the atrocities passed too
The point is christianity cannot be acting holy when it was spread through unholy means and be turning round to call islam names .
Why is it always the chriatian nations leaving their countries thousands of miles away to wage wars in islamic nations?
If muslims in arabia are killing muslims in their country what is the motive for christian countries to wage war against them?

Zooposki:
Lol. Islam is even more of a folklore. Hello, remember Mohammed the paedophile that married a baby.

The stories in the bible are only fit for a comedy script....no wonder such a global industry was built around it and sustained with further lies which now make anyone called a christian look stupid among intellectuals. So you dont know the sexual orientation of your messiah is gay...reason no mention of him having any association with any woman in your storybook

Leverage2021:
shut up anyone not doing the idealogies of Jesus isn't a Christian or pastor because Jesus himself listed things that defines those following him

Terrorism, destruction of innovation is the idealogy of Mohammed and terrorists are true muslims

I am sure you don't know your Terrorist prophet cared about this shitty idealogy so much he loved to copy Christian's

Sahih al-Bukhari 5917


The Prophet (ﷺ) used to copy the people of the Scriptures in matters in which there was no order from Allah. The people of the Scripture used to let their hair hang down while the pagans used to part their hair. So the Prophet (ﷺ) let his hair hang down

Let me add more to your misery.
Hitler was a christian and it was believed he murdered 6 million jews alone acting as a christian and in the name of christianity.
Before him the church has actively engaged in the trans atlantic slave trade...even owning a sizeable number of slaves in the name of the lord their savior who claims to be love....only the love didnt apply to slaves.
Earlier the church had carried out a genocide and progrom against muslims and carefully labelled it the crusades....history is full of the tales of atrocities and destruction carried out in the name of the Lord

America...the Gods own country has been carrying out genocides in the name of the lord since the end of world war 2

Yet its islam thats called all sort of names.
Oh that was in the past for christianity right?...Okay the allow islam have its own past too so there will be comparable history

Leverage2021:
Who cares about second fiddle religion

Islam is the one obsessed with christians and Jews

It is the benefit of a normal human being to be concerned about a terrorist religion that claims everyone not practising it's cult must be eliminated or brought to submission

It is the benefit of Nigerians to be concerned about the Islamic mess causing us billions of dollars to tame

Its is rather the other way round. I call it christianity paranoia ......Christianity is always paranoid when it comes to islam...it has cause to be scared of islam. With dwindling church attendances and the gospel being unravelled daily to be nothing more than folklore...the fear of islam is real especially more among you holier than thou Nigerian Christians and that is the basis most of you hold the political view you hold....which inturn twist your sense of reasoning.

NigeriaEngineer:
what are you saying self? You tried turning this table all to no avail. You kept shooting your self on the leg. Innovation to live different from the way the prophets lived, you must be joking.

Unfortunately for you its not my fault if you have comprehension issues and theres nothing i can do to someone who have made up his mind on an issue.
When you think you have something to say make a submission

Oksman:
But boko Haram is against western education that invented all the medium they are using to propagate their ideology. Why is that no Islamic country is technologically advanced if not because your religion has refused to reform itself like other religions in the world.

Does every education have to be western styled?...does it mean if you dont have western sryled education you are illiterate?....western education is an acronym for christian educational system thats why you see some muslims go against it. Others see it as a tool for christianization which they are resisting just like we have some Nigerians resisiting islamization.

Have the christian west allowed iran to develop its techological capabilities using nuclear energy like everyone else?
How will muslim nations develop technologically when the west wont allow with either sanctions(economic and technological)....sponsored insurrections and outright wars

Leverage2021:
let the fool be deceiving himself

Boko Haram is bond on destroying western education and it's innovation for the sake of same Sunnah

Same shity idealogy different perspective

So does every muslim hold boko haram ideology?... ive seen christians argue that anyone caught doing rituals and fetish things and calling himself a pastor is not a pastor but an imposter. So Any group killing and maiming in the name of islam doesnt represent islam....
Talking of shitty ideologies what could be more shittier than being a christian

NigeriaEngineer:
but they just wrote it on their car now. Or didnt you read it

And i just explained what it really means to you...the innovation meant is religious innovation what is too hard for you to understand there. Innovation to the ways of worship/ living different from the way the prophet used to worship/live

Leverage2021:
shut up your outdated Taqiya

Islam is for hypocrites don't bother twisting anything

A sect not following a doctrine e.g Christmas is not the same context and content of a group practising a believe

If Islam is for hypocrites why is christianity hell bent on tarnishing its image....

And who told you that Bus didnt belong to a sect? You dont even know about sect yet assume its a doctine followed by all muslims......to cure your ignorance, that inscription is on the bus of the izzala sect (JIBWIS) which is a sunni sect that diesnt belief in innovative religious practices....they dont represent all muslims

PaNnamdi:
With the news of the new digital TV Launch in Kano,I can authoritatively confirm that these evil men are trying hard to drive their evil ambitions further by been in control on the nigerian TV media.

As u can see,with the so called digital TV so many TV stations and the right to access unbiased government controlled news and choice of entertainment would be greatly censored and that is the first step this government is taking to ensure clipping the wings of our news and entertainment system.

Ignorance will kill you
I mean it
IGNORANCE WILL KILL YOU

Leverage2021:
shut up your outdated Taqiya

Make una learn una no go learn just dey display ignorance and stupidity all over the internet.
Okay tell us the meaning now....anti taqqiya

Leverage2021:
me sef won't have anything to do with such group

Innovation and them is parallel

Religious innovation is what that sect is against. Just like some christians dont celebrate christmas arguing that its not in the scriptures and terming it religious innovation. Others are aginst tithing insisting its not from the scriptures but an addition and could also mean invention or innovation

Kaduna1stson:
A people whose sole aim in life is eradication of innovation are trying to build skyscrapers?

Wonders shall not end

Its either you are uninformed or mischievous. The "innovation "(the closesst meaning of bidi'ah in english language) is religious innovation and not technological innovation. They cant be against technological innovation and still use the vehicle on which the inscriptions is written.....

Kaduna1stson:
Terrorists taking killings everywhere including killing off their own people in Kaduna state. They are very patriotic terrorists

More than a hundred corpses slaughtered in Southern Kaduna last night.

So....how that one take concern your development efforts Mr developer....is your usual comment not that "bandits are killing northerners in the north and government is not doing anything about it so IPOB ESN UGM should be killing ibos in iboland so buhari can feel the pain"

Kaduna1stson:
Accomodators that couldn't accomodate Iskilu wakili, is that one accomodators?

Developers taking development everywhere except their own towns and villages.....is that one a developer or just a contractor abi even bricklayer sef

AchalugoNwa:
first of all this thread is not for bigotry or anything related.
it's for clarity sake of those fermenting trouble on nairaland especially those people pitching and causing tribal bigotry on nairaland.

honestly I'll never recommend nairaland politics section for any sane mind because it'll corrupt and confuse you because what you'll see here is not even close to real life out there.

I've been hearing people saying that it's only Yorubas that are accommodating other tribes.
yes SW might have other tribes living within them especially Lagos
but trust me Yorubas are also scattered across the country including SE.
the way it's been portrayed here you'll be thinking that no yoruba has ever stepped foot out of SW but it's a lie by bigots.
in my locality only I can count more than 10 Yoruba families living peacefully doing their businesses jejely.
most of them speak igbo fluently that without their name you won't know they're not igbo.
most of them have integrated so well that we consider them brothers and sisters
Infact I know a woman that her children all bears igbo name apart from their yoruba names.
most of their young women have igbo boyfriends and even inter marry.
last 2 months we escorted a friend to Ogun state for a traditional marriage of his yoruba bride.
just like igbos are also living in Yoruba land
Yorubas are also living in igboland in large numbers
in the major markets, we have their lines popularly called odu ndị Yoruba (Yoruba line)
we've been living together for ages with no problem

but come to nairaland you'll start seeing people shouting as if Yorubas have never stepped out south west.
well most of them instigating this are not even from Southwest.
the only difference in Yoruba/igbo migration is that igbos do settle down permanently like building houses and owning big investments.
even yorubas now build permanent houses in igboland and own investments because I know 2 to 3 Yoruba people personally that has duplex and bungalows in popular 3-3 onitsha.
though they might not be much as igbos do in Yoruba land but the main koko is that just like they do accommodate us
we accommodate them too.

and it can only get better.
Nairaland does not reflect real life.
it's just a faceless forum where cowards vent our their frustrations comfortably knowing that their identity are safe.

God bless Yorubas
God bless igbos

You obviously dont know yoruba people are well travelled (one of the reason for their accomodating nature) and its been like that since time immemorial. They have been travelling and mixing with different cultures for centuries.
Did you know yorubas because of their interactions with Malian Tuareg traders on the trans sahara trade route got exposed to islam even before most of northern Nigeria(except Kanuris)
Yorubas interaction with ibos began to dwindle after Azikwes illfated misadventure into yoruba politics by trying to become premier in yorubaland and the relationship further soured during the civil war....ibos enjoyed and still enjoy prominence in ibadan.(first UI VC was an iboman)
Lagos is the main reason for influx of ibos into yorubaland because of its status as federal capital....if not because Lagos was FCT most ibos wont feel comfortable settling down there......the same scenario is playing out in Abuja presently....tomorrow some misguided ibos will soon start calling Abuja no mans land

Juliusmalema:
I don't know why Yorubas are suddenly attacking my person.

So I must support the lie that Osinbajo is not.

I pride myself as been fair and just.

Which lie... that he owns what he didnt own?
Fair with fake news?...haba you can do better than this.

Juliusmalema:
For someone who preaches quality?

I am disappointed in most omoluabis.

So what
At least he is not dishing out fake statistics
Or hiding money in tax heavens and refusing to pay taxes to the country he wants to be its VP

Obi pandora AKA HIM TU LIE

PrinceOfLagos:
Doomed by your rigging , snatching of ballot boxes and manipulation of election results .

Conduct a free and fair election and APC will be history

Pdp is no longer in power stop alluding to their atrocities.....even UMYA agreed that the election that brought him in was badly rigged.....

ScamHunter:
Boko Haram wipes out a battalion in NE, no one cares
Fulani clears out whole villages in Yoruba land, that's no news
Ethnic cleansing in Southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue kills 900 in 2 days, everywhere is silent
But...

Gunmen kill a couple of policemen in Igbo land....everywhere is on fire.
In fact, in Igbo land, no gun man is known. They have special name for it, Unknown Gun Men. In other places, the gun men are known but if it is Igbo, they're unknown.

Why are Nigerians obsessed with Ndiigbo and whatever happens in Ala Igbo?
Why does news about Igbo excite or scare Nigerians so much?
Why does anything Igbo attract you guys like hordes of bees to honeycomb?
What is it about Igbo that give you people sleepless nights?

Are Igbo lives the most valuable in Nigeria or what? If yes, why are you all excited when they kill Ndiigbo or are you all hypocrites in this country?

Even on Nairaland, Igbo news are the most popular. Some are more than 20 pages even though there's more that should concern Nigerians about other regions: thousands are murdered in the north daily. In the West and MB, the Fulani threat is at level 4 compared to level 1 in Igbo land yet no one cares... It's no news.

Ndiigbo reminds me of Brezhnev during the Suez crises that sneezed and Britain caught cold. What a tribe... what a nation.

Because we want buhari to feel your pains now....or is that not the basis of your agitations. You always want to be in the news, now that you are in the news and the whole world is aware of your case you are still complaining.....are you born to wail?
You have always told us That because government doesnt care about northerners killing themselves Ibos too should be killing themselves so why all the fuss....abi you want a price for which region will kill its citizens the most?

Nonsense and ingredients thread

MadamExcellency:
Those people love Igbos too much that their shame are gone and their daily occupation is unity begging.

Seperatists doing their seperation while deliberately staying glued to the place they want to seperate from

What an irony

Amd they have the guts to call some people unity beggers.
If they have any shame they will know battles are best fought from the homefront but like everything else their form of agitation is the strange type that negates all known rules of seperatist agitations..... from Ireland to catalonia to israel , agitation for homeland doesnt lead to destruction of homeland but building the homeland economy to be robust

Yeye

Kemistri4:
Whatever rocks your boat.


Fact is: at the end, you failed to provide your secret files from America


And guess what's more?


U ended up embarrassing yourself... I warned you initially that's what will happen

The one embarrassing himself is you.
He has at least provided links.....where are your own proofs.
The declassified documents are real and undisputable. Its all over the internet

Kemistri4:
I can also provide sources in favour of secession

Please provide some of your own sources just as he has produced links.....as it is, you are losing the argument without any links at all....with your links you can better present your own argument...

Lush100:
CBN this
CBN that.
Is CBN now in charge of fiscal policy execution rather than it's monetary role regulatory function.
Abi isn't it called central bank or is it central company?

What is the role of ministry of trade, investment,
What's the role of ministry of agriculture
What is the role of commercial bank in performing their duty of financial services to companies.
Why is CBN lending directly to individual entities?,(not as per this particular scenario)

Are we not planning on running a private-led economy.

Very soon, people making Pam slippers will be walking into CBN for financial services instead of commercial or microfinance banks.
I hope CBN will not be overwhelmed.

Toor

I just learnt that a government created NISRAL and NISRAL microfinance bank as same plan but seperate entities.
Pls why wouldn't there be confusion?

Either you are uninformed or mischievous.... CBN is simply fulfilling one of its duties with those schemes abi where is the support going to come from if not a government financial agency through relevant agencies connected to each scheme .
NIRSAL you are even talking about is owned by the CBN and its a vehicle to encourage banks to give agricultural loans...and as another strategy created the NIRSAL MFB in collaboration with NIPOST

Gkemz:
Afonjas no get one mind. The moment I heard about the Igboho's struggle, I knew it'd be dead on arrival because afonjas are known betrayals and sabotage just like FFK who shamelessly defeated to APC he vowed never to be part of, calling it all kinds of abusive names.

Its because we are not blinded by emotions....nobody gave igboho the mandate to take yorubas out of Nigeria. When He was fighting criminal herdsmen everyone supported him but the moment he let politicians get into his head and started seeing himself as messiah to take yorubas to the promised land we quickly saw through his veil and knew he has no good intention. He started insulting the kings(representatives of the gods) and pastors....it was only a matter of time before the gods turn their back on him.

How naive ibos whose ancestors were not known to have fought any war...either for expansion or defence will call yorubas cowards is the height of self deceit. Yorubas fought intra tribal wars for almost a century before unifying 200 years ago...such a warrior tribe are no cowards
