Efezik007:
some days ago there was a topic about which region is capable of becoming a country among the six Geo political zone, there were sentimental debate mostly blw the west and the east region, anytime a person from the Niger Delta try to defend his region concerning the topic, someone from the east will tell him that, there is nothing like Niger Delta republic. meaning Niger Delta is under Biafra.
in the same topic, someone was saying that we lack human development index.
that language is very insulting to the collective people of Niger Delta. the eastern people where busy talking how they have high human development index in their region, but according to the latest poverty report from NBS, it stated that the south south region have least poverty, but the case of the south east is different.
the south east can't have high human development index and the rate of poverty is also high. that tell you that the south south have high human development index compare to the south east. Delta state came second with the lowest poverty rate, very close to Lagos state. every region accept the latest NBS report, even the northern region didn't complain about it, but the east where accusing the west concerning the report.
please you people should stop using the words.

THE SO CALLED NIGER DELTA.
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE NIGER DELTA.
THE SE/SS ( unnecessary attachment ).

using the following words is an act of disrespectful which might have future consequences
everyone stay safe ( COVID 19 IS REAL )

This man even though is from middle belt has never hidden his hatred for Yorubas, whatever his reasons are he should please allow Nigerians to live in peace with his half baked history.

NCNC was the Nationalist Movement under Herbert Maculay a Yoruba man and Zik was his deputy. Suddenly. Maculay died and Zik emerged as the leader of NCNC the main anti colonialism movement. The Yorubas of course gave Zike 100% support as they still remain the most accommodating tribes in Nigeria to Igbos and other Nigerian till date. History is there for you to verify. Now before the elections there were political manoeuvring and some Yorubas feel that they should be compensated for the death of their son in the leadership ranking that, Zik as national leader should be Premier of Eastern region and appoint a Yoruba man to lead Western Region. This won't take away from him his national leadership of NCNC. Unfortunately, he didn't listen and that gave rise to suspicion of been dominated.
Remember, Zik wanted to be Premier in West and appoint another Igbo man as Premier in the East and before this election, there has been signals of domineering tendencies in various institutions including University of Ibadan and some Yorubas concluded that if they did not correct this error early their children will not forgive them and that is what lead them to realign after massively voting for NCNC a Nationalist Movement that was evolving to a political party then.

To call Yorubas tribalists is the height of mischief. If you have a leader that is insensitive to the various components of his constituency can you call that a leader, if you protect the interest of your own tribe at the expense of other tribes that are larger than your tribe in population and landmass can you be regarded as a leader. Indeed, it was Zik that started tribalism and when he pushed it to a point that it backed fire, he started calling Yorubas name.
Why did Paul Unogo and his other Middle Belt leaders not choose to remain under the Fulanis without a voice in political leadership, why are my Middle Belt people still trying to maintain a distinct Geo-political Identity? That is what Awolowo and Co saw and choose to take up their own destiny. Did it favour the SW? The answer is obvious. Yes, there were reactionary groups in Yorubaland that choose to die with Zik, the likes of Adeniran Ogunsanya, etc Unogo Paul won't see such people but choose to dance in the market at Old age because of hatred. Check out his consistent opposition to Yoruba leaders and you will know, the type of elder he is.

For the youths that may not know much of our history, recent developments in our history will show you that the Yorubas will never ask too much but will always insist on what is due to them. When through political manipulation, Abiola died as president elect, some tribes expected them to declare war, but Yorubas simply negotiated to have their son replaced with another Yoruba as president. They never wanted Obasanjo but when the other tribes insisted through the military, the Yorubas for the sake of peace allowed it. Now if Zik had listened to his political constituency then, what Paul Unogo is talking about would not have happened. There are many other political manipulations by Zik that proved he wasn't an infallible leader, we remember what happened during the coup and how he escaped being killed through informants of Igbo origin in the military while the other political leaders in SW and North were killed in a coup lead by Igbos. Did he know about the coup?
Finally, the Yorubas choice of Awolowo as the Premier of Western Region was it beneficial to the Yoruba race or not? I will leave reader to answer this question as take away and ignore this man.

Ebenezer2021:
you better respect yourself.
Biafra begins at Aba and ends at Onitsha head bridge.
Leave Niger Delta/South South states out of your imaginary country

ODB2:
Have you heard that idiot say anything about the satanic NCDC bill?

That goat is a strong advocate of Bill Gates' forced vaccianation and tagging agenda.

Why?

Because Ngozi Iweala is at the core of the whole agenda.

He is a big fool.

Only reason the idiot supports Bill Gates is because NOI is feeding from Bill Gates' hands.

NOI only got her latest appointment at the IMF courtesy of Bill Gates.

NOI sits on GAVI and the Bill Gates Foundation.

GAVI is 100% funded by Bill Gates.

This is why this fake pastor and partisan goat has refused to say anything on the satanic NCDC forced vaccination Bill because his Aunty NOI is the one bankrolling it.

Unik3030:
get d fact right ogbeni,your imaginary Biafra is just Anambra, Enugu,imo, Abia n ebonyi... anything else Na wash so start waking up to the reality now

Unik3030:
that is how it is according to each geopolitical zone bro n I just remind u

Unik3030:
how did I pretend to come from Niger Delta?
all am saying is Biafra with 5 states is feasible but land grabbing will take u nowhere

Unik3030:
wait first cos I see u are digressing from the topic of discussion...have u agreed that Igbos are no match for Yorubas?

if your answer is " yes " then we can move to naming n origin of tribe.

Unik3030:
u ain't getting Biafra n u ain't getting presidency,we will rather have a Sudanese than a nyamiri

Unik3030:
d earlier d better u realise that south east or Biafra has only 5 landlocked states

psucc:
Biafra we hail.

But we cant have strange lands in that Biafra viz Bayelsa, Cross River, et al.

EzeOnyembo:
I saw a post on politics section where somebody wrote the names of Rotimi Amechi and Nyesom Wike as those that may represent the Igbo tribe as president in 2023.


Please let's put the record straight, it's true that Igbos have many Sub-ethnic groups and also have different dialects but Ikwerre is not one of them.


Ikwerre is a distinct ethnic group and not a sub-Igbo group.


So anyone proposing Igbo president in 2023 should know the right people....

DontCough:
Igbos won't listen, but a United Nigeria is best for us all.
SW, SS, SE, North can all find a common ground for a United Nigeria. Unfortunately for us, we creating more problems for the unborn generations due to our disputes.

Grayoso:
Here we go again with the chest beating driven by inferiority and persecution complex. Only we Igbos tell the truth and are hated for it. Only Igbos are fair-skinned and they don't like us. Only Igbos are hardworking and they want us dead because of that. Only Igbos build mansions and storey buildings and they want to wipe us out Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

May I ask who you lot have in the entire history of Nigeria that told the truth in the face of tyranny like Fela, Gani Fawehinmi, Wole Soyinka , Femi Falana etal? Just wake up and be chatting shit just to sate the need to chest-beat over anything and everything. Pathetic. There is nothing special or unique about Igbos so stop disturbing us daily with your delusions or better still take it to IPOBland.com.

MythMan147:
Ben Obi was the governor of Anambra state when the funds belonging to the state was used to buy SHARES IN THE COMPANY HE PERSONALLY HAVE INTEREST IN,although at of being ones brother's keeper,SAINT PETER OBI ADMITTED BEFORE THE WHOLE WORLD FOR BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EMBEZZLEMENT EVEN THOUGH HE WASNT.

dokyOloye:
I doubt if the reactions there a really from the names attached to them cos a typical Igbo person doesn't reason like that.We just don't have that entitled mentality,even when it's your sibling.
Igbo man is characteristically individualistic and doesn't wait for another man to 'bless' him or 'change his life',rather he prays to God to bless his own hustle.
2:Igbo ppl don't believe in begging,so he'll likely be grateful if given no matter how small cos he understands nobody owes him anything, including d govt.
