That dude is done. Theatrics didn’t save him at the end of the day. His lawyers should start looking for grounds of appeal.

Now that he has been legally convicted, south east leaders can start pushing for clemency on his behalf from Mr. President. I still believe a political solution can be negotiated to end this matter.

You're correct on this bro...

But the worry of the majority of Igbos...the leaders and all...is wether Nnamdi Kanu is ready to take it easy when released...

...can he quietly Restrategize and take a different approach to actualising his vision?

This is a man whom...with his closest followers.... took an oath to "get it or die trying"....

But now it's clear it can't work with this method...

Will they reroute themselves?

Trust me going by the disillusionment of many well-meaning Igbos,if the Referendum is granted and scheduled; IPOB will lose....

....because even the few die-hard supporters of IPOB who're mostly Uneducated and misinformed will be properly enlightened by the Igbo Elites and influencers before the votes and many'll easily vote "No"

Is Nnamdi Kanu ready to change to a better tactics if released?

That's the issue.

Na mumu dey kneel down for girlfriend just to propose. This kneeling down of a thing and white wedding no be our culture na. What do you even stand to gain by kneeling down? Our forefathers never did, even when their wives were virgins and not these loosed boreholes. But you wey be say you wan marry a babe wey numerous men don chop the nutrient finish from her kpekus na dey kneel down. Ask yourself this question, the guy wey she open legs to give her virginity to, how many kneeling down na the guy kneel? You're going to inherit what numerous people have eaten for free before and you're kneeling down. I'm not against marriage because it's a beautiful thing but abeg, oga carry your non-virgin (fairly used) partner enter house in peace. Everything negative na we must adopt for this part of the world. When it comes to the positive ones, we go reject am.

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Where you dey go hide these days...

Appearing and disappearing like warning lights?

Ttalk:
Baby factory is luring young ladies to abandon school, so bad

When I see your comments I often wonder how old you are!

Such a shame!!

By the way,the percentage of the SouthWest and SouthSouth in the statistics comprises of all the tribes living there ....not necessarily of a single ethnic group.

Take note.

And stop trolling who no troll you.

Richtaiwo:
I truly do not understand it. Since when did the mere act of cramming random figures and brandishing them at every trivial opportunity become a criterion for measuring intelligence? Why does this man insist on reciting numbers that collapse under the slightest scrutiny? Even if one must memorise statistics to create the illusion of brilliance, is it too much to ask that he at least cross-check them from credible sources?

Now he claims that over 130 million Nigerians are living in poverty and, according to him, this number somehow exceeds the combined population of poor people in India and China. One has to wonder whether someone placed a special curse on this man’s calculator. India, by all global assessments, remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Let us even be charitable and assume that only 30% of its population is poor, a figure far below reality. What is 30% of an estimated 1.2 billion Indians? A very elementary calculation yields roughly 400 million. How, in any universe, can 130 be greater than 400?

And that is without even factoring in China, where it is laughable to assume that everyone is wealthy. So what exactly is he trying to accomplish with this compulsive habit of flinging obviously baseless statistics around? Truly, one can only sigh. Nawao.

Oga,at your level I'm sure you know the meaning of "Reading between the lines"?

It simply means: to Understand the spirit and message in...or.. behind any spoken or written message!

You mean you didn't understand Obi's message in the figures he reels out?

His message is that over 130million Nigerians are finding it hard to afford food.... and are dying anyhow at hospitals... and lose their lives daily due to insecurity and bad infrastrucures....while Corrupt political leaders live large and display oppulence without a care...even to the face of these Poor Nigerians!!

That's his message!!

Did he lie??

If he lied,the right thing for you to do is to correct him by saying things like "Oh,food prices are now 50% lower than when Tinubu met it" "No,cost of commodities have gone down" "Ah,40 million jobs has been generated in the last 2 years through so and so"...

...and so on.

Why always seeking to divert from Obi's well-meaning messages by picking up cheap and useless Arguements to muddle-up the message??!!

Who told you the percentage of the poor in Indian is up to 30%?

Even if it's more than that,why leave the substance of Obi's message to chase shadows??

Are you enabling and supporting bad governance?

Let me tell you,your dismissive, careless and insensitive responses to Obi's observations makes people's living conditions worse!!

If you don't agree with Obi,debunk him with clinical rebuttals,incisive and intelligent ripostes not this ineffectual tactics of arguementative semantics and dismissive shenanigans which achieves nothing.

Take note; going forward

sreamsense:
Is really a pity! God is already on our side to deliver us from Islamic terrorists and the ipob/ESN terrorists that both kill Christians and engage in kidnapping. Ipob/ESN even roast and eat human beings. I am waiting for language or choice of word Trump will use to describe that barbaric act of ipob/ESN wickedness

Those activities of the "unknown gun men" in SE was in the past.

They've since been contained(At least give Tinubu credit for that )

And it was only an occasional attacks on security agents...once in a while...as a form of protests...(Not an organised religious massacres)...

...and some unlucky civilian victims sometimes get caught up in the cross-fires especially on days the militants go out to enforce the "sit-at-home" protest.

Is this what you want to compare with the regular mass massacres of Christians by Fulani Jihadist masquerading as herders?

Is this what you want to compare with Al-queda funded Boko Haram Islamic terrorists groups...massacring Christians (and moderate Muslims caught in the crosssfire)..

You want to Equate "Killing of Christians" between the on-going Terrorist activities of ISWAP and Ansaru to what "Gentle de Yahoo" and his six boys did in the past?

Ọ Mase ọ.

You mean we should allow Islamic terrorists to continue the horror just because a small band of millitants once operated in the SouthEast?

Wetin dey do some of una sef?

Codepain:
But this isn’t what the b1afra ter0r1sts that lobby DT Want
They want DT to b0mb Hausa/Fulani, remove Yoruba govt that is in power, install Peter Obi and Free NNamdi Kanu
This is a really waste of money if the picture is the end results

You're wrong.

You don't know IPOB.

They're not interested in Peter Obi.

If they're the ones pushing Donald Trump...

... then it's because of the Perceived attacks on the interests , investments and properties of Igbos in Lagos(Which they believe has the secret approval of Tinubu since they know Tinubu's style of politics).

Starting from the hate Rhetorics in Lagos,the Unnecessary changing of street names,the pulling down of houses,shops,the sealing of business premises and the confiscation of goods in the name of whatever guise,the continous detention of Nnamdi Kanu While the main Fulani Jihadist for which Nnamdi Kanu became a fiery activists,are being pampered,negotiated with and even recruited into the Nigerian army...

..for all these,IPOB may have choosen to deal Ruthlessly with Tinubu!

But this is with the Strong support of the Christian middle-belt who sees the removal of Christopher Musa(A non compromising Army general ) as Tinubu's Betrayal of the fight against Terrorists and Fulani Jihadist!

Knowing Trump who hardly go back on his words(To maintain his reputation )..

It remains to be seen wether the real Igbo leaders and Christian supporters of Tinubu (wether in government or out) will do nothing to discourage Trump.

I believe Trump is getting softened already.

But Tinubu's government and the Lagos APCists better sit up and do what is right always.

Those you underestimate can ruin you for life !!!

And the next government will never ever let you rest.

Power is not Permenent.

trutharena:
Emergency base ko, Ebe base ni

You think this is a joke?

Jihadist forces...some of which are masquerading as Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits are massacring Nigerians and you think it should be made fun of?

This is not your usual online brickbats and unserious banters.

Take note;

Meanwhile the OP mischievously inserted "Biafra" into the post?

To achieve what?

madridguy:
Trump is taking this for a comedy now

You don't know Trump.

He has built a fearsome reputation.

A "talk & do" reputation.

If he doesn't follow through with this intention,it'll affect his reputation.

The whole World...especially the Arab world...are keenly observing.They know Trump wants to use Nigeria to send them a message Worldwide.

Bro,prepare for the War,simple.

ebukal67x:
No foreign troops on Nigerian soil, not even for a day. We will handle it ourselves.

Why have you not been able to "handle" it all these while....

Islamic Radicals disguised as fulani herdsmen attacking Christian communities in the Christian middle-belt for ages...

You didn't "handle" it yourselves

Boko Haram,Ansaru,ISWAP Wrecking havocs purposely to Islamise Nigeria(Even though a few Muslims get caught up in the attacks)

You did nothing!!

Secret Islamic Radicals in the SouthWest and up North always kicking against a Christian President...even using christians to attack christians because it's hidden as political Rhetorics.

You didn't notice.

Please let's allow this opportunity to be used to see if the Terrorists can be reigned in...

...and if all Nigerians-christians and Muslims- can learn a thing or two for the sake of National harmony.

PheelzAlmighty:
Nigeria is a friggin joke.
Trump definitely doesn't give a flying fvck about Nigerians or the Christians being killed in Nigeria; maybe the Americans..I said maybe o.
Politicians are damn selfish and care only about their interests, so it's foolish to trust anyone of them.
90% of the headlines, news and stories we read in Nigeria are poorly reported, mostly lies and therefore cannot be trusted.
Just like every other naija story/news, this trump 'story' will die off as quickly as it has arisen, and Nigerians will move on like nothing happened .

Yeah,right...

Nigeria would "move on" but all christians...of all tribes... will stay concious and cautious of the systemic war being waged on them by closet and open Islamic extremists.

Secret Islamic Radicals...now risen in the SouthWest....even use christians to wage wars on fellow christians...cold wars and physical wars.

It's sometimes disguised as Political rhetorics but it's actually a religious warfare in secret.

Na me dey tell you.

The fact that Islamic terrorists and Fulani bandits also attack fellow Muslims gives these radicals perfect cover.

There's a particular Nigerian tribe that's homogenously Christian...a big tribe....

This big christian tribe is seen by these Closet Islamists as the poster child of Nigerian christians and are therefore always being trolled,harassed,maltreated,denied access to power and etc.

You'll think it's politics but it's actually a secret religious warfare as commanded by their scriptures.

Start observing.

You'll see

Speaking in Hausa The voice mocked; "All you poorest of the poor,the millitary,the DSS and the government of the country,take note that we are Expecting more money from you...we're continuing our Banditry"

To a colleague covering his face,the voice continued;" this is our own Bola Ahmed Tinubu in this bush.He's the one giving us strategies and ideas on how to attack,steal and destroy"

Then the voice trails off to inanities.

Wetin una think

seborrhic:
Sahara Reporters and foolishness.
No Nigerian politician will be foolish enough to sponsor a military coup against any sitting president,unless the person is high on crack or an alcoholic that just whispered coup in the course of his drunken discourse with some officers at a joint.
SR should stop concocting all these rubbish.
I wonder why Sowore has not been sued to oblivion.

The things politics is doing to the minds of some of you is baffling....

You mean you're not aware of the current trends of coups happening everywhere and sponsored by Politicians who're Power-hungry,ambitious or who wants Vendetta on the sitting President?

So you don't believe that Politicians from Buhari's side who're now Tinubu's enemies can think of a coup?

Your hate for Sowore has blinded you...nothing more.

SaharaReporters you used to praise as the most incisive,in depth and most reliable media is now "concocting rubbish" because their truth will hurt your favourite government.

Na wa ọ.

Anyway,try to be objective next time.

In fact the rest of the world is open to him apart from the US and Biafra.

Funny enough,the places that really ever mattered to Wole Soyinka is his whole life is the US and Biafra...

His heart does not care about anywhere else.

He suffered and went to Prison because of Biafra...

Now he's suffering and is in mentally in prison because of U.S.A

See?

Kikikikiki....

seunjungle1:
When you criticise them, you bought market already.

They don't like criticism even when it openly shown that they are doing wrong

See as you just jump put mouth for wetin you no Understand .

Now here's the issue.

Igbo Youths have a popular and profitable culture of Travelling to China/Japan just to seek out Marketable Products which they can import back to Nigeria for sales..

Without a dime in their Pockets,they then begin to make money by simply Connecting the Chinese/Japanese Manufacturers to the Distributors/Retailers back home...and take their cuts; like Agents/Brokers/middle-men.

Now VDM says it's bad.That they make too much profits.

So VDM now goes to the Chinese to persuade them to stop doing business with the Igbos.

VDM is now doing it himself.

The Igbo guys are not happy.

See?

What do you think?

gabbytabby:
Most most for mouth and why the continuing exodus

You think if Nigeria was good its people would be in other lands being emasculated.

So why are Millions of Chinese living,working and doing business in Africa?

Which country is better than China in the World?

Is Any African country better than China?

Same with Indians,Arabs,etc?

They leave their regions to go live at other regions.

Why are millions of Europeans,Japanese and Americans living and Working in Asia,Middle-East and Africa?

Are these Regions better than Their countries?

Why're are Igbos living and doing businesses in Sudan,Niger,Mali and Gambia?

Are these African Countries better than Nigeria...their country?

People...especially Igbos... do not migrate from their region or "japa" ...just to go and enjoy better environments...

...they migrate to go and make money... by offering or selling Products or services to places where they are needed.

They identify a need anywhere and strive to meet that need to make money.

But they always maintain regular touch with their places of origin...like the Chinese and etc.

Apart from Lagos,there's no other Nigerian cities comparable to Onitsha,Aba,Awka,Enugu,Owerri,Abakaliki,etc.

And that's because Lagos was our former FCT...

...and was helped to develope with the presence of Igbos.

Travel and see.

Igbos no bi your mate,trust me.

So copy them...for your own good.

ibedun:
After reading your emotional response, there is no point in continuing this conversation with you.

If the certain tribe was ever as good as stated, it would reflect visibly and incontrovertibly on their homeland. The extreme opposite is the case…infact they are IDPs in my own region. Their priorities lies in the immediate salvation of their ancestral part of the country not pouncing around in my city in expensive cars raising their shoulders whilst expending their youthful energies developing a land which has a ready, competent, politically savvy, powerful, empire building owners (the current ruling tribe).

Bro,You shock me with your display of lack of Knowledge!!

So you don't know that the SouthEast is the most Urban and most Developed region in the entire Country??

Try searching this fact on Google and get back to me??

Look,apart from Lagos and Abuja there's no city in the Country comparable to Onitsha,Aba,Awka,Enugu,Owerri and even Umahi's Abakaliki?

You dey whine?

Even the Lagos and Abuja we are talking about are nothing without the Igbos!!

Are you a Learner?

Lagos is developed from the hundreds of Billions in Taxes paid by over 11 million Igbo business men and Women...and from the Federal allocation from Oil revenues coming from Igbo states such as Imo,Anambra,Abia,Delta,Rivers,(Amongst other oil Producing States.Only 9 states in Number)

The socio-cultural and Economic activities of Igbos is the livewire of Lagos!!

The places in the SouthEast you can compare to Ibadan,Abeokuta and Akure are; Nsukka,Orlu,Ekwulọbịa,Agbani,

Are you not in this country?

And what is this childish talk about "IDPs"?

So "IDPs" are in your region running the show; doing well and living better than you the "host"?

Who come be the IDP?

Wisen up.Wake up.

The SouthEast is the most developed region in this country.

Stop whining yourself.

Igbos no bi your mate.

ibedun:
Cho Cho Cho mouth!

What happened to your own land and region? You can no longer hide your IDP status.

2027 is coming and you will still be asked politely to go and vote in your region.

The coming constitutional amendment will address the “I can live anywhere I prefer” mentality and orientation. We must insert some restrictions and safeguards because a certain tribe is abusing that provision and setting us up for chaos and God forbid Rwanda.

Everybody can get arms but when the dust settles everybody will go back to their villages. But beware other Nigerians are watching and are aghast at the overreach’s of the certain tribe. There are political consequences as well meaning the certain tribe will never have presidential powers in our common entity.

If that "certain tribe" will never ever have Presidential power then know it that Nigeria will never ever be that dream and Ideal country you wish it to be.

Besides,it's clear the Presidency run by that "certain tribe" is what will fix Nigeria.

Why?

Because rhe requisite attributes in character: the can-do spirit and the X-factor for successes are regular traits in the peoples of that "certain tribe

I'm sure you already know but choose to grandstand.

Factors..
Known and unknown....necessary for succeses in endeavours are in the traits of an average Igbo,more than in an average black African.

Yet you wish they shouldn't be given an opportunity to fix Nigeria for you?

No bi activities of demons be dis?

Anyways,I don't think the Igbos even really have that consuming need of Nigeria's Presidency like other Nigerian tribes...

They're so self-content in the successes of their personal and collective lives that I doubt if they need your Presidency to feel good about themselves.

It's you who need Igbo Presidency for your own good...not them.

What most of them actually need is a separate country or a Regional Autonomy so they can compete with China,Japan and the USA.

They believe that the Nigerian system is stiffling their potentials.

And that brings us to your "Constitutional amendments"

There can never be any new laws forbidding Igbos from voting anywhere they are or choosing to live anywhere they like.

It makes you appear like an illiterate or like a child when you think like this?

Any laws fashioned along that line will be the laws that'll divide Nigeria...

...which most Igbos want but your people don't want.

So stop letting issues about that "certain tribe" beffuddle your mind.

Learn to love them or suffer for it

DomPerignon:
Your arrogance was ten times worse than what you are displaying today in pre civil war northern Nigeria.

Those ones came to understand that like a wild dog, you only respond to pavlovian conditioning and so they exerted the most brute force to format your brains.


Even Buhari reminded you that he knows the only language you understand is violence and promised to speak to you in it.

So if it comes to emasculating you Ibos, the north has shown the world how to go about it and that it is only the most barbaric brute violence that you understand and that's why you don't try the mountain of rubbish you are doing across the south anywhere in the north.

You take us in the south as weak for not using brute violence to check your excesses not knowing we are not ready for the moral baggage and subsequent cries and wailing from your piglet descendants.

But what the South can do is to use lawfare to put you in your place an remind you that one Nigeria does not mean Zikist One Nigeria that your Marxist idiot grandparents tried to impose on the polity under Ironsi.

You will be contained. Restrained . And most importantly schooled on what a Federation means.

If you choose , as its most likely the case, to disregard the laws of the state your are settled in and go ahead to disrespect the host despite legal provisions forbidden you to, the pavlovian behavioural condition will be meted on you and you will have only yourselves to blame.

Its your choice.

Bro,I haven't ever seen such bitter and venomous vitriol against the Igbos like this....

Becareful the cancer from the biles of Hateful bigotry doesn't eat you up or cause you self-destruct.

Nobody hates Igbos like this and survives(Ask Adeyinka Grandson)

Now listen; When last did you hear there was ever a riot or Violence or "brute Force" targeting Igbos in the North(as it used to be in the 80s and early 90s)

This is because it is well-known that the Igbos have armed and organised themselves; not just with their Various militia groups...home and away... but individually and in their unions.

So Perish any Wish-ful thought to see Igbos attacked (Cos that's your desire and it can't bode well for you )

Anywhere Igbos are,if You come after them...by "Lawfare" or Warfare...it won't end well for you.

They are war-ready by nature.

Fulanis comes second in Nigeria.

A man tried an Igbo Recently at Mandilas and paid for it.

Three Political thugs tried Igbo voters at Okota in 2019 and paid with their lives...

You need to be in their Whassap Groups or Union meetings to see how prepared they are to deal with any threats from radicals and extremists....

Especially in the run up to the 2027 Elections .

Becareful of Igbos bro.Those glamorous shops and trappings of affluence means nothing if they are under threats.

And don't hope on "Lawfare" to "Cut them to size" cos they know their Rights viz-a-viz the Provisions of the Constitution of their Country.

They have the financial muscle,the numbers,the persons,the instruments of coercion and influence and all the wherewithal to Deal with anybody or group in a "Lawfare" and to pursue the case to any length.

If they choose to abstain from any "Lawfare" it is because it is not worth their time...

...or they choose to respect sensibilities!!

So stop wishing them ill-fate.It can never happen.Its more like one digging his own grave.

Instead focus on a win-win situation with them; Learn to work with and benefit in associating with them.

Discountenance any aspect of them you don't like (Nobody or tribe is perfect) and focus on their great qualities.

For instance you can...amongst many things...send your tribesmen or brothers or sisters to them to help you train...for 5 years...and then Empower them with capital....in Profitable lines of businesses(As they do in their Culture)

Do anything to gain from them but stop hating them.

buckeyemedia:
My assertion is that the Igbos are like the Jews they move around & settle in different places & call those places home, but still holding on to wherever they are originally from, hence they try & go home during the Christmas season, or whatever cultural events, generations may pass, & to maintain their identity they try to replicate their culture wherever they are residing, not to lose track of their heritage, which most times is in conflict with the indigenous people.

Honestly speaking maybe because having lived in the United, I see nothing wrong with them.

If u were born in a certain part of the country, or u have lived there for a certain number of years, nothing should restrict u from claiming that u are from that place.

A Hausa boy born in Lagos, should be as Lagosians, as a Lagos man who gave birth to his son in Kano.

Thanks for your Honest response;

Candid.Truthful.Broad-minded

Having lived in the US,you are mentally and intellectually Refined enough to know that it's normal or lawful for Igbos to have an Ethnic or Cultural Associations or Unions amongst themselves while living far from home.

That actually means that those who're at Conflict with Igbo Unions and Associations may not be Mentally and intellectually Refined and are therefore likely to be Uncivilised,Unexposed,Unenlightened,Primitive and Crude....

...despite whatever "Education" they claim to have!...

My personal observation though

Talking about the "indegenous Communities" Often displeased with Igbo Unions and Associations.

For me I ask; Which indigenous Communities? How many? Where and Where?

I think that Out of the about 29 non-Igbo states in Nigeria,only in Lagos...and now...Edo do we hear that indigenous Communities are displeased that Igbos have Associations.

Do you hear that in Kano,Kaduna,Kogi,Benue,Oyo,Etc?

The one of Ghana,I'll tell you a little about it...

By the way...why should these indigenous Communities be Displeased with Igbo Unions and Associations ?

Could it be a Primitive "fear" of Igbo "Domination" or something?

It all started in Lagos When Tinubu and his People Joined the APC to help Buhari.

Because for over four Election Circles Igbos have always insisted that Buhari Isn't good enough to rule Nigeria.

But Tinubu needed to build his future Political ambitions with Buhari.

So Tinubu's "Crafty" and "Strategic" Politicking began it's hostilities towards Igbos who preffered Jonathan(Before Jonathan was Yar'adua,Obasanjo..all Tinubu's enemies)

He'll send out his minnions and loyalists and jobbers to do the dirty work,while he pretends not to know about it.

See how it all started?

The recent whimpers from Ghana about Igbo Unions was clearly influenced by the same Ethnic Chauvinists within only the Lagos/Southwest axis...Using the Power of the Social-Media and even offline...right in Ghana.

The Ghanians later realised what was happening and backed off!!

What these "indigenous Communities" needs is a firm enlightenment and a strong and decisive response from the Igbos....

..because the Igbos are never going to give up their rights or change their Electoral choices to appease anyone!

I doubt.

buckeyemedia:
My issue is what always una, North, West , South, only this particular tribe in victimization mode?

Bro, me too always wonder oo.

Why always them ?

So please,based on this particular issue(Where the Igbos in Edo State are being denied their right of Association which has to have a leader?)

With this issue in context; What do you think is the Answer to "Why always una"?

Where could they possibly have broken the law...or did wrong... here or elsewhere?

Please share your response make we/them learn!

Thanks

You really wish Igbos are "Cut to size"

Because they Tower too high above you so much that you feel dwarfed and and down-trodden.

...but nobody fit "Cut them to size"...

Stop wishing

gidgiddy:
I dont blame Deji Adeyanju, he finally realised that protesting for a better Nigeria is a waste of time he has been pursuing

Nope...

The truth is that he's now fully a supporter of Tinubu.

No more Pretences.No more hiding it.

His brother...same Father and mother ...is an appointee of Tinubu by the way...

...a juicy post by the way.

That and other factors have softened Adeyanju towards Tinubu

Peter Obi plans to kickstart the necessary policies and create the Enabling environment for at least 5,000,000(five million) new Manufacturers;

Tinubu and all other normal Nigerian Leaders may...or may not... have this same wishes or ideas; to turn Nigeria from Consumption to Production...

But something about their Nature makes this intention..if any...almost impossible;

Their culture of Profligacy,Corruption and materialism...and their taste for foreign products,goods and services...

...their tendency to appoint half-baked Ministers and DGs of ministries and Departments... due to Nepotism,Tribalism or for Political rewards...

...their mediocrity in planning and Execution...

...all combine to forestall any intention any average Nigerian Leader may have to Industrialised Nigeria.

Peter Obi is different.

Beware! Peter Obi is different in Character and Capacity and determination more than your average Nigerian Leader.

You have a right to disagree....for reasons best known to you...

....but you need to be reminded!

No two persons are the same!

Obi's character,tendencies,abilities,philosophies,passions,strength,sense of determination,age and fitness levels are different from Tinubu's.

Take it or leave it.

Peter Obi Did not speak against Defections...

He only said that the Defections in the SouthEast does not mean APC has captured the region...

So why this desperate rush to deliberately misquote and misinterpret and try to attack him from nowhere?

To what end?

Is the Lagos APC spokeman trying to use Peter Obi to shine or what?

Nigeria has a strong chance to qualify through the playoffs...


Or maybe not. (Because they can disappoint when you expect them to deliver)

I have seen some countries mocking Nigeria on SM. 2 in particular I won't mention names. Just the usual culprits.

I wonder how they would be forced to eat their words in shame if Nigeria qualifies through the playoffs and ends up beating their team or even sending their teams home in the knock out rounds.

It go sweet my belle eh. Sweet revenge.

Nigeria Still has a strong chance/hope of qualifying on a good day Sha if they can get their act in order!

Nigeria will Qualify....

Worry not.

I saw a new wave of raw determination in the eyes of each and everyone of the Nigerian players...

Whenever Nigeria(ns) get that look in their eyes,there's nothing they can't do!

I saw that look in our girls when they were 2 goals down... at about 65mins to go... in front of the hostile home crowd of the tricky Moroccans.

The same Ghanians and SouthAfricans were mocking us...the SuperSport SA Presenters were not hiding it

So pay no mind to them; Ghanians and South Africans...

Shame will be their lot las las

APC may not be your favourite party(Same as me) but are you now discountenancing Peter Mbah's successes because he joined APC?

As an "Igbo" You should have known of Peter Mbah's great doings within just two years...

Peter Mbah has done far more than at least 4 Governor's in that list...including Okpebholo!

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Stop crying.

Devote more time to making your region habitable and attractive to others like Lagos people did.

Stop seeing Lagos as Heaven.

If you are knowledgeable enough you'll know that....apart from Lagos...the SouthEast is far more developed than the rest of the SouthWest..

...Lagos is the only state/Place in the SouthWest you can compare to Igboland...

...that's why your people always...cunningly and conveniently.. throw up only Lagos as the only competitor to the SouthEast..

Why're you guys always shying away from throwing up your own state of origin of Oyo,Ekiti,Osun and Etc?,

Leave Lagos to the indegenous owners.

They've protested recently about this.

Stop neglecting your own state because of Lagos(Where you have no stake whatsoever)

Lagos is Nigeria's former FCT and our country's commercial capital....

It is developed from the monies accrued from the Oil in Igboland(Imo,Abia,Anambra,Delta and Rivers) and the Akwa-Ibom,Ondo,Cross Rivers and Bayelsa.

Lagos has no revenue-yielding Natural resources...by itself...for now.

But most importantly,Lagos generate money for developement from the monies accruing from the yearly Taxes of over 11 million Igbo Businessmen and women...(Businesses of other Tribes like Yorubas,Hausas,etc also contribute to the developement of Lagos,but taxes by Igbos are far larger than others)

So when you ramble off your comparisons between the SouthEast and Lagos,remember this truth and shut up.

Many may not like Umahi's words,but truth is bitter...

There is nothing wrong in patience and planning..Every region took time to build truth before getting power.


I believe if the igbo works with others not against them.one day they will get there..

So you don't know that Igbos have been working with others since the history of Nigeria...

In recent history; they abandoned Ojukwu and Worked to Produce Obasanjo...(Infact Ekwueme,the founder of PDP surrendered the party for Obasanjo)

..They abandoned Ogbonnaya Ọnụ,Ume-Ezeoke,Chuba Okadigbo,etc and Worked to Produce Yar'adua...

Jonathan used Igbos(Even appropriated the name Azikiwe to his names) and the Igbos broke their arms and limbs to work to produce him...twice.

In the past,Igbos abandoned Zik in 1979 and through Alex Ekwueme,Igbos worked with the North to defeat Awo so that Shagari will be President!

When Nigeria became a Republic,Igbos through Zik,have always worked with the North to produce Balewa,etc.

When will others...especially the North.. pay Igbos back for all their support?

Bet you didn't know all these before

Why must it always be a particular tribe.

Read the post in full and see mostly your brothers there.

Smitaro100:
One tribe must always represent.. sure odd, if U know U know.

You wish

Did you read the full post at all?

You would have read that all your brothers from your region are Equally guilty and were all arrested.

The middle-East route is exclusively your brothers...

Anyways,that "one tribe" came to your region and learnt it from you the masters.

From now any media reportage about this illicit trade will have to stop mentioning the names of only "one tribe" when the others are worse.
