When you propagandists of falsehood are done, shame shall be yours.

Another noise, if they are serious then they should use their representatives at the national assembly

Which National Assembly? The National Assembly is overpopulated by northern legislators drawn from the excess number of states (19+Abuja) proliferated in one northern region by northern soldiers. They maliciously used land mass or population as criterion to proliferate too many states in the northern region, but created only 17 states in the two southern regions. FRAUDULENT. Land mass or population is never used as criterion to proliferate too many states in an area with larger land mass in a country formed by different regions. There should have been more states in the TWO southern regions than in the ONE northern region.

Use your head to understand that no political restructuring will happen in the National Assembly because the northern legislators shall block restructuring with block votes.

Same way taking Biafra out of Nigeria cannot be voted for in the National Assembly.

The Yeebos drew the first 'blood of injustice' in
Nigeria, on 15th January, 1966.
They killed military and political leaders from other parts of Nigeria and spared their own because of their greed, nepotism and wickedness.

Stop rewriting history to suit your conspiracy politics.

How many times will you be educated by those involved that the military coup of 1966 was a Nigeria army coup involving soldiers from all ethnic groups in Nigeria; but led by an Igbo called Nzeogwu? And the Coup was stopped by Igbo soldiers.
You want to campaign for political power by demonizing the Igbo with old events. Poor you. People campaign for political office marshaling out what development projects and other welfare programs they have in mind. But your campaign is demonize Igbo, exclude them, ally with north to grab political power to preside over cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in Igbo land and the rest of the Niger Delta. Politics stupid.

Emekaonline:
And what respect did your SE APC have for the party when they could not even win their wards talk less of their Local governments for the party? Only a foolish party will give its ticket to a region that will never vote for it when it matters. Today if APC wants to lose the next election, let them field an Igbo man and see. Such candidate will not even get 20% of the vote in the East. Atiku will get 80% of the vote against an Igbo man in his region and APC will go to extinction if the PDP wins. Who will want to do that?

Yoruba were mostly in Yoruba tribal party AD and detested PDP formed by Alex Ekwueme with his Group of 33 in 1998/99 when Yoruba’s Obasanjo became PDP presidential candidate
and won presidential election. Yoruba did not even vote PDP/Olusegun Obasanjo.
Do they pick presidential candidate for a party from an area because the political party performed better in the area during previous elections? Beware as you people try to introduce rogue, conspiracy, area boy and agbero politics into the country’s political process.

johntolu:
The Igbo race have their own unique way of fighting their battles; They fought the Nigerian civil war their own way and they are currently fighting their war of Independence against the Nigerian state, their own way, as well.
I believe their strategy is more or less the same the Catalonians are using against the Spanish state.
The Eritrean and South Sudanese strategies of all out war against Ethiopia and former Sudan, which were used successfully by the aforementioned countries above, is not as popular in Yeeboland, as the 'sit@home' upheavals, currently being used by IPOB, in Yeeboland.
I foresee Biafra and Catalonia being on the membership list of the UN, before end of Yr2021

You needed to watch the video of the dirty slap Yoruba Nation agitators gave to a Yoruba diplomat in New York City during the last UNGA meeting. The Yoruba diplomat was persuading Yoruba Nation agitators to tone down their agitation when angered Yorubas slapped him black and blue. His eye glasses fell off his face and landed on the ground. He was dazed.

Secession bid is as heavy in Yoruba land as in Igbo land.
Yoruba Nation agitators are different from you MURICS of the SW playing for a Muslim to succeed a Muslim as president of Nigeria in 2023. Muslim has never succeeded Muslim in Nigeria since return to democracy. Christian has not succeeded Christian as president since return to democracy.

In 1999, we acquiesced to two Yorubas as presidential candidates of the two largest political parties in order to ensure that a Yoruba became president.

Time to pay back the Igbo, some Yoruba want to play foolish politics of the ShophistiWretched.

AmbaliJ:
Abegi make we hear word. The same una wey dey push for Atiku (a Muslim, Northerner, and above 70yrs of age) suddenly have a problem with Tinubu (a Muslim southerner of yoruba extraction) succeeding Buhari. You people's hypocrisy stinks.

Who pushed for Atiku in 2018?

Unknown to you, Arewa people you see here and in Arewa are playing for Atiku to succeed PMB, if Yoruba can’t support Igbo whose turn it is to succeed PMB.

SW APC can’t ask for zoning to enable the north forego presidency after PMB, yet SW APC rejects zoning in the southern regions because it’s Igbo turn for rotation in the south.

You think Arewa are foolish and will uphold zoning if SW refuses zoning in the south?
You think those Igbos your SW APC have no respect for shall sit down and watch the SW APC pull through?

valentineuwakwe:

IPOB, please stop these unnecessary sit at home. Sit at home only on Nnamdi Kalu court days.

Sit at home is sign of defeat, being driven away back to your home.

If they posed in this picture with hope to have Tinubu succeed PMB as president, they posed for perpetuating injustice, strife and no meaningful development in Nigeria after 2023.

They know that the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria necessitated zoning of the presidency between the north and the south; and that rotation in the southern regions stipulates that it’s the turn of the Igbo to succeed PMB.

A Muslim has never succeeded a Muslim as president since 1999. How come any persons not looking for strife in Nigeria would propose Tinubu as successor to PMB?

FisifunKododada:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu - the leader Nigeria NEEDS. Politics is not about 'crying and begging for it' like the AfghanEastern people are doing. You have to build the network, make the necessary connections and join the most likely party to win. You spent 8 years insulting APC and you expect the same APC to zone the presidential slot to you? Even a baby has more sense than these AfghanEastern people.

Lol. The network your Tinubu mentor built resulted to a Nigeria with the unprecedented highest number of hungry and poor people on mother earth.

They have started building another bridge for you in Nigeria to enter hell fire from 2023.

NgeneUkwenu:
While the South West are busy strategizing on how to draw the presidency to their Zone...the other group is busy supporting terrorists because of their hatred for Mr. President.

Congratulations in advance Asiwaju.

So says a lady who loves mediocrity.
Those you congratulate reduced Nigeria to be a country with the highest number of hungry and poor people on earth since 2015.

LegalWolf:
You that don’t have “limited intellect”, what exactly are you trying to say with the rubbish you just typed? See, gentleman, not everybody is a myopic, ignorant and senseless as your folks!

The question is : is Biafra not intended to the the homeland of igbos? Is Kanu fighting for Biafra to be the homeland of Tivs, jukun, itsekiri or other ethic minorities? So what exactly is your problem because my assertion is not false. And even if it is (I.e., Biafra is for all of southern people or what not), say it categorically and not insult me! So we can compare who is right. It’s only hypocrite that says something is not true without telling an alternative “truth”.

And to your point: I’m not from SS! And I have right to say whatsoever I want about Biafra or igboland or anybody. Period!

You admitted you are not from the SS. So what the heck gave you the information that Biafra is being sought for as an Igbo homeland?
Biafra has never been a homeland for only the Igbo, right from the beginning. Igbos had as much claim to Biafra as the Ijaws, Efiks, Ogojas, Ogonis have claim to Biafra as homeland, beginning when the Eastern Consultative Council represented by all the ethnic groups in the old eastern region decided to pull Biafra out of Nigeria in 1967.

They said you are a Fulani from Kwara state; so how do you feel if you are told by a stranger that possible Arewa Islamic Sharia Republic shall be a homeland for only Fulani?
People of the 12 northern sharia states that adopted sharia criminal laws, and share common value systems, are not all Fulani, after all.

King44:
The south have to come to terms and let the people choose but giving a seat on a platter of gold would be difficult, the aspirants from the east have to start marketing themselves and let the west and other part see them as their own if this is not achieved we would remain in circles and last last Tinubu would clinch the seat

The presidential aspirants from the east have been marketing themselves since 2013.

They don’t have to be like Tinubu who went to the UK to expect Nigerians to be paying him pilgrimage in the UK.

How much in tax payers money were spent by politicians to pay pilgrimage to Tinubu of the UK?
Is that how to market oneself as Presidential candidate in saner countries?

Northerners are against zoning because some Yoruba APC members refuse zoning among the southern regions, as those Yoruba see that it’s the turn of the Igbo to succeed PMB.

Let the 36 states speakers tell Buhari and Malami to redress their errors in declaring IPOB a terrorist organization.

No other country in the world accepts that IPOB is a terrorist organization.

The risk here is driving IPOB underground which can be harmful to all in Nigeria.

Taqqiya - even during political campaigns of 2014/2015.

Buhari then promised to convert Presidential planes to restart Nigeria Airways

LegalWolf:
The prevailing sentiments, particularly south of the Niger, is that the geographical expression called Nigeria should be unbundled. If this is done, according to the arrowheads, the new entities formed out of Nigeria will turn into an el dorado of a sort. It is believed, at least in certain quarters, that all the problems confronting Nigeria would not apply to them.

I propose to contest the the legitimacy of these claims. But prior to delving into this, let me make a confession: I have a sheer bias for the concept of one Nigeria. Furthermore, I concede that Nigeria has a lot of structural problems, too many that it cannot be solved in, lets say, five years. But this bias notwithstanding, I will be as objective as far as possible in making my submissions. If you are unwilling to exchange opinion and rebut my argument respectfully, please do not bother reading. Clearly, this thread is not for you.

As far as we know, there are two prominent groups/persona for the call for secession. The first, which in my mind has the most appeal, is Nnamdi Kanu and his Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement. IPOB seeks to achieve the secession of South East and certain parts of South South and North Central. this new country will be called Biafra and will be the homeland of the Igbo people.

The second on the other hand, which gained currency following perceived Fulani attacks in Ibadan, is the Yoruba Nation movement currently led by Sunday Igboho. Like his counterpart, Sunday Igboho also wants to carve out an Oodua Republic from Nigeria. The new country will cover the current south western part of the country.

Having given this context, let me highlight the reasons why I think neither Biafra or Odua Republic will necessarily better the lots of the people:

1. The Character of the Leaders:

Both Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are persons of questionable character. Pictorial and video evidence abounds of NK insulting elders and people of other tribes. Of recent, Reno Omokri who used to support NK and his folks revoked his allegiance. This is on the ground of insults and diatribes he has poured on people of other faiths and tribe. In fact, there is no evidence to show that he has retracted these statements. The same thing applies to Sunday Igboho.

To these two people, anyone who does not support the idea of Biafra or Yoruba nation is a coward and should be stifled. In fact, there was a video I saw that broke my heart. Sunday was asked to say something about Pa Adeboye who just lost his child and his response was: I don't have anything to say... those who don't support Yoruba nation, they will be losing their children as they are losing their wives!!! Why should that be? If the both achieve their republics, what would happen to freedom?

2. Tendency to breed dictators

It is easier to have dictators in homogenous republics like Oodua Republic and Biafra than it is in Nigeria. You think Hausa and Igbo people hate themselves? Let a Yoruba president try to exceed the term of his office and you will see wonders. But with these republics, it is impossible to check.

3. Corruption

Do you think that officials will be less corrupt under Yoruba/Biafra republics than Nigeria? Do you think that all public officials will just become just and do the right thing because it is a new country? Police officers will stop taking bribe and shooting indiscriminately? We hear the excesses of amotekun folks and they have not been given guns. What do you think will happen when they have funds?

4. Economy

Neither NK or Sunday has proposed an economic plan that will usher in their new countries to prosperity. Do these guys even know how macroeconomics and all work? A lot of people voted a particular based on emotions (which i likened to what is currently going on) and we are all still feeling the impact. There is a need for Southern people to ask questions so as not to avoid a repeat of one inefficient president.

5 Others.

There are other reasons as well which I would love to dwell on. But these affect minorities in the North and South. I have written this strictly from a Yoruba and Igbo man's perspective and I will welcome sensible rebuttals.

cc: Lalasticlala, Mynd44, Seun etc.

With your early beginning that Biafra is being sought as nation for Igbo people, you started to insult yourself as person of limited intellect guided solely by his revulsion or envy of the Igbo,

If you are from the SS region of Nigeria, what stops you from migrating to settle in far north Nigeria since you can’t share one country with Igbo in the majority?

An armed forces which cannot say the truth that adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws by far northern Nigeria states gave rise to Boko Haram phenomenon; the armed forces personnel engage in unending religious war against Boko Haram with millions of its sympathizers in the far north states; instead of letting the 12 northern sharia states have the Islamic Republic of Arewa, so that Boko Haram and bandits phenomenon shall stop, so that the southern and northern regions of today’s Nigeria shall start to embrace peace and development.

Instead, the armed forces fight for continuity of an impossible country created by foreigner, Lord Luggard.

BREAKING: We are not Useless – Nigerian Army replies UK paper

The Nigerian Army has said that it is a globally respected agency. This is in response to an Editorial by The Economist of the United Kingdom (UK) on Saturday where the Muhammadu Buhari administration was described as incompetent, and criticised for being ‘unable to curb corruption’. The piece was titled ‘The Crime Scene at the Heart of Africa’.

The publication also accused the Nigerian Army of selling weapons to insurgents, just as it pointed out that ‘insurgency, secessionism and banditry threaten Nigeria’.

But Nigerian authorities are thoroughly displeased with the report, and have fired back.

In a statement on Saturday by Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Nigerian Army Spokesperson, the agency said it is “certainly not what the so-called report by the Economist tried to characterize it”.

Read the Nigerian Army’s statement in full below:


https://politicsnigeria.com/breaking-we-are-not-useless-nigerian-army-replies-uk-paper/

In bold:
So says an armed forces trained to specialize in killing unarmed civilians of Nigeria.

So says an armed forces trained to protect and perpetuate Fulani stranglehold on rest of Nigeria.

So says an armed forces whose members are apparently indoctrinated to be ready to KILL their innocent CHILDREN in order to preserve Fulani oligarchy in Nigeria.

The Gideon Orkars in the armed forces have been deactivated by Fulani machinery.

Na you go cry Las las.
You are an affront to peaceful coexistence in Nigeria when you snub the fact that Igbo is supposed to succeed PMB from rotation of the presidency necessitated by the skewed political structure of Nigeria.

Kwontinue. When the Nigeria bubble bursts, na you and your people go cry loudest.

agabusta:
Stop whinning! Bring out your candidate to confront anybody others are bringing. The only time the whole country allowed only a region to contest was in 1999, Yoruba vs Yoruba as compensation for the demise and denial of MKO Abiola of the presidency.

Even at that, Igbo man still challenged them at the primaries and lost before they emerged.

Stop lying. If compensation because of MKO was it in 1999, how about the 1983 coup that forestalled VP Alex Ekwueme succeeding president Shehu Shagari? No compensation for that?

Above all, Ekwueme’s contest against OBJ was merely symbolical, because OBJ was already primed by north to become the next president, given the fastest state pardon ever that was granted OBJ by northern political establishment in 1998, with OBJ imposed on PDP for presidential ticket of the party.

Else, how could Olusegun Obasanjo fresh from prison with N20,000 in his bank account have won Alex Ekwueme who formed PDP with his Group of 33?
Before then, most of the Yoruba politicians were in their tribal party, AD, were hostile to PDP.

It’s like author is from the Nigerdelta. One then wonders why author is hesitant to a Biafra comprising all the old eastern region and Delta state to start to have financial leverage before hand to confront the impending loss of value for crude oil?

plaindealer:
I guess it was not calamitous calculation when the SW sacrificed ACN and the hard won states they took from PDP to form alliance with the North, the same alliance that created APC.

I guess other people must reap the rewards from that alliance before the SW regardless of SW's efforts and sacrifices.

Some of you actually think politics is a school yard game..

Some of you think that formation of a nation can come from perpetuating injustice.

You are currying for calamity in Nigeria through ambitions without conscience.
What stops northern Nigeria from withholding the presidency possibly for ever, if Yoruba politics is a graveyard game not played without good conscience, no consideration for rotation of the presidency?

Jackson105:
This is stale, you Igbos should come with something new, you better contest,if you are waiting for Yoruba support, it won't come so forget it.

So under OBJ and the Igbo man GEJ, you still need to know an aboki abi?

Trash.

GEJ could not even provide pipe borne water supply system in his Otuoke.

Did you not hear Wole Soyinka say the truth a short while ago that irrespective of who is President of Nigeria, northern politicians are still in charge of Nigeria? How? Through the lopsided political structure of 20 states with derived representative constituencies, but only 17 states in the two old southern regions with lesser number of Reps.

Fraud of state creation in Nigeria: one multiplied to 20, while 2 multiplied to 17.

Three regions - north, east and west - formed Nigeria in 1960.

OIL WELLS WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE NIGER DELTA BELONG TO NORTH.


What else did you expect when the unwise men from the deep Nigerdelta area traveled to Kaduna in 1967 and begged the then governor of Northern region, Hassan Katsina, to beg then HoS, Yakubu Gowon, to carve the non-Igbo groups in the old Eastern region out of Biafra?
Gowon quickly created Rivers and Cross River state out from Biafra.

That helped to fail Biafra.

Shortly after, northern politicians and soldiers seized the oil wells worth billions of dollars in the deepNigerdelta. The area became polluted by oil exploration because northerners in charge of Nigeria are from far away, unaffected by the pollution.

Today’s paid elements from the region who chant: “we in the Niger Delta no be part of your Biafra” are on the beat of the unwise men of 1967.

Mischievous journalist had started.

Has Osibanjo ever said he wants to become president?

Why must everyone goes to London to see Tinubu is that not the corruption we are talking about? Those who went to see him did they went to see him with their salary?

I learned a governor went there in the name of seen Tinubu took over 10 people with him to London with a whooping cost of over N500million and yet salaries not paid in his state.

If Tinubu like let him contest its a free world but should not pitch any battle with Osibanjo just because he did not come on time to see him in damn London.

By the way who the hell is Tinubu? Nigerians dont have shame at all pls name one politician in entire Africa that fall sick, travelled out to seek medical help and the entire country now turn his sick home abroad new Dubai

I'm sorry for this country.

Newspaper wants to attract readers and sales.

Some Yoruba have the flimsy excuse that because more Yoruba than Igbo voted for PMB, therefore Yoruba shall reap the reward to succeed PMB.

Some believe that in APC, the Yoruba have forged alliances with the north to continue to exchange apex political office in Nigeria between the north and the Yoruba, no consideration for the other ethnic groups in Nigeria. What a calamitous calculation!!

Military0001:
Noise!! Non of them will become Nigerian President by special grace of almighty God..

Tinubu and Osibanjo presidential ambitions are on propagation of injustice in Nigeria, because they know full well that it’s the turn of the Igbo to succeed PMB.

They ask north to allow rotation of the presidency to enable southern candidate succeed PMB, but refuse rotation in the south because it’s the turn of the Igbo.

Alas, north will also refuse rotation therefore a northern candidate succeeds PMB.
But if the SW stands true on rotation and support an Igbo presidential candidate, south must succeed north in Aso Rock in 2023.

Did the northern sharia states love their country when they adopted unconstitutional sharia laws in a multi religious and multi ethnic country like Nigeria? Did they not know that their actions would bring catastrophe to Nigeria?
They started hatred for others and for the country

WHY NIGERIA ARMED FORCES ARE UNABLE TO DEFEAT ISLAMIC TERRORISTS IN NIGERIA.

Bandits from the NW are offshoots of Boko Haram from the NE.
Boko Haram is fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws that include, stoning women to death for adultery, death for apostasy, cutting the hands of thieves etc.

Political and religious leaders in the 12 northern sharia states adopted unconstitutional sharia criminal laws beginning 1999.
Thus, the difference between Islamic terrorists in Northern Nigeria and those northern leaders that adopted sharia criminal laws, is like the difference between six and half a dozen.
Sabotage of the armed forces by elements sympathetic to Boko Haram is common occurrence.
Nigeria’s president Buhari himself swore that he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia criminal justice system is applied in all the states of Nigeria.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria appointed by President Buhari started with asking for inclusion of sharia criminal laws in Nigeria’s constitution.

A divided armed forces can’t defeat Islamic terrorists in Nigeria.

Before long, the American Tucano jet fighters shall be used by terrorists in Nigeria, just like many other military hardware of Nigeria armed forces ended up in the hands of Boko Haram fighters.


In 2001 in Kaduna, Muhammadu Buhari told a huge crowd of Muslim faithfuls that he would not relent until Islamic Sharia criminal justice system is applied in all the states of Nigeria.

Till today, the Americans are yet to understand the problems in Nigeria, beginning with adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws in the 12 northern Nigeria’s sharia states, and subsequent emergence of Boko Haram which says it is fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
