NO they are not. I have stopped them twice. Once during University department elections and also during our alumni elections. They are not smart but what they have going for them is solidarity. Their religion binds them together and as we know you cannot break the bunch but you can break the broomstick. We are better in politics than them. Infact if you check carefully, they plot using the best brains from the South whom they pay so well. Our problem is that we know too much! We see too much and we talk too much! We are always the first to bring down our own. While the fulani's tried so hard to keep a dead Yar'Adua in power, our brothers like Amaechi and Tinubu worked so hard to bring Jonathan down. Jonathan they said was "clueless" but Yar'Adua was DEAD!

powerful insights

francizy:
Thought you weren't biased and I respected you for that. Please dump bias into the gutters and embrace the unity you've been preaching. Why call a region even if you hate the man personally? Mind you, it's your people who are writing the whole thing about GEJ so your people still recognize him as a hero even if you don't.


Well am happy the names that are doing this are not SS/SE names else we would have been reading things like they are doing it for their pocket or stomach infrastructures on this thread..

Seriously, what did he do to change people's life? Under his tenure the country got worse, the effect of which Nigeria is now suffering. He had the chance to unite the whole south but he failed woefully. That alone to me, is unforgivable.

By Aliyu Dangida
DUTSE—Irked by the persistent criminal activities involving Fulani communities across the federation, Fulbe-Fulako Association of Nigeria, has designed a programme that will change their lives and stop them from committing such crime.

National Vice President of the association, Alhaji Yau Muhammad, who spoke at a briefing in Dutse, said the association was worried by the report of the probes which indicated that 80 percent of criminals arrested were Fulani, describing the situation as unfortunate, disgraceful and unacceptable for to the group.
Muhammad faulted government at all levels for not fully involving their members in any of their economic initiatives or any appointment, which makes them relevant in the society, as he called on government to look into their plight by engaging Fulani groups in their programmes.
The association, according to its chairman intends to provide Neem’s seedling to Fulani settlement areas across the state during this year raining season to plant in various location.
This, he added will serve as employment opportunity for them, while a token would be given to those who participate in the programme.
He said “We are abandoned by government and this is why our members are involved in criminal activities, but that notwithstanding, we are set to stop them from getting involved in crime through this initiative that is designed to better the lives of our members.”

optimism & pessimism, you should take one! I'm An UnRepentant optimist but my human nature forbids it extremism! hope keep us going

Optimism without action is as good as nothing. Let me leave you with a quote " “Good things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” ― Abraham Lincoln."
Good night.

If you are going to immortalise him, I beg you put it in your SS region. Some regions has high standards

"I Smiles! Let's Just Pray For The Better Living On The Land God Gave Us To Be Born! Warring Nations Can Tell There Losses! Peace Be With You Dearie, cos you're ready for war!

fvck prayer and I am a christian. Nigerians pray more than anyone in the world. I mean how can someone fast consecutively for 60 days. Yet, have you seen any changes?
I believe in God. Perhaps he is trying to tell us to take law into our own hands like every other successful western countries.
I will rather pray for my salvation. Thanks.

ajalaolanr:
One of the many problems of Nigeria has just been identified, this Man!

Majority of the politicians, including the elites are the problem in Nigeria.

What a slap in the face of every citizens in Nigeria. Effectively they are saying fvck you to everyone, that there is nothing you can do about it.

Seriously, a debt of 480bill can't be true otherwise I can't see osun getting out of this any time soon.

Gosh, people are too timid.

mauriceju2:
Mark my word : the Hausa man can never never never never change Nigeria for good, it is not in their blood to do that, the day anybody will be able to bring Yoruba’s and Igbo together will be the day Nigeria will change for good, pdp cannot do us good and apc is the same with apc, look for a way to great a party that can bring Igbo’s and Yoruba’s together and you will see Nigeria change for good, Hausas does not have any power , their strength come from Igbo’s and Yoruba’s disunity.

We need someone with a strong personality to convince fellow Yorubas to strategise against this monopoly. Part of me dies anytime I hear black people talk about white superiority, but this admission by fellow Yorubas and Igbos are just as bad.

Okikiade:
Majority of comments here shows the how "Nigeria as a nation in abberation!" We will never trust or helping each other in pursuing common goal of patriotism! Colonial Creation To Neo~Colonialism, you can never see anything good from hatred & distrust!

Then we should divide? This isn't that hard is it?

Volksfuhrer:
It's easy to talk now with the benefit of hindsight. That period was a state of heightened fear and uncertainty. Many decisions were rushed, with untoward consequences.

For instance, Awo could not have toed the line of secession because the Yorubas were not prepared for war. In the last meeting Awo had with Ojukwu, he pointed out to Ojukwu about the unpreparedness of the Western Region. He asked Ojukwu for two weeks to consult with his people, after all he understood he could never force anything on them. Awo was still en route to the West when he heard about Ojukwu's declaration of the new state of Biafra! You see, there was no way Awo would trust Ojukwu, if he could not have Awo in confidence. Awo knew immediately after Ojukwu's declaration that Ojukwu no longer needed him, which effectively destroyed any further possible alliance.

seriously do you have the source for this narratives? Please.

MrPresident1:
Bros, you have summarized it all. There is no common rallying point in the south, that critical zone of continuity where we all can converge and see reason is just not there, unlike in the north where they have the Hausa language and the Islamic religion.
Fulanis like the Somalis, are a learned, proud and warlike people, and a people with deep and longstanding heritage. They are not lost people per se. They are the owners of Nigeria, and until there is that point of convergence in the south, they will continue to rule us. Of course with their knowledge of subterfuge and divide-and-rule, give the Yoruba man plenty amala for jollyment, give the Igbo man big title and let him be a bit above his people, and all forms of rally dissipates.

We are back to the past bro. Smh.

I think the Yoruba race should forever be grateful to the warriors of Ibadan who stopped them at Osogbo in the 1800s, if not? hehehe, we for don hear am.

With defeatist post like this, the northerners must be congratulating themselves for a wonderful job in dominating fellow Nigerians. For the first time I think there is no hope in sight, because they have won the mental battle which is the greatest of all.
In fact, I can't even gather my thoughts out of disgusts.

Krucifax:
On a purely mathematical or numbers basis the Fulani will always dominate Nigeria. The colonialists didn't help by carving a Nigeria where half of the country geographically is Northern. Only unity of different groups can challenge the Hausa/Fulanis politically

This is really sad. People In the south need to unite.

carnegiefan:
Your wish will NEVER happen because SW has a history of betrayal of southern causes in Nigeria. And this point I don't want to debate.
Igbo will work tirelessly (alone if necessary) to leave this evil contraption.

Good luck to you guys.

carnegiefan:
Don't worry, when Biafra secedes, a huge chunk of "SS" will leave because it is either Igbo land, or the parts that cannot afford to be left behind in the Nigerian jungle, or have resources to form their own nation. But one thing I know is that Igbo will definitely leave Nigeria because it is an unrighteous and fraudulent nation.
So better prepare to accept Igbo secession from Nigeria, 'cos it is chiseled in stone.

To me the next few years(max 8 years) will determine if Nigeria can remain as one. For now I will rather SE/SW(only region I care about) create a solid platform before asking for a secession, otherwise it will be the same status quo.
One thing is for sure, merging the northern region with the southern part has to be among the most unforgivable act ever committed by the British.

carnegiefan:
Yes I know I'm deluding myself, but mark one this down. This fraudulent nation is definitely going down, and BIAFRA will be.
And in Biafra ALL (I mean 100%) of Igboland will be there.
Good luck with your fraudulent experiment.

Who told you I support one Nigeria? I don't without some strings attached like fiscal federalism, regionalism etc. The point is, SS will be very hard to convince to join biafra, and why should they?

carnegiefan:
You meant to say EASTERN NIGERIA.

Your "SS" is a Fulani/Yoruba masquerade created to prep Eastern Nigeria for maximum exploitation. About 40% of Igboland is there.
So, take note. And NO (to OP), we are better off seceded from this fraudulent nation.

keep deluding yourself. You are in for a rude awakening, if you think SS people are happy to share their wealth with you.

mrbillz:
So the South west cant survive all alone abi

Again, south south is the only region that won't suffer in the short-medium term, then followed by the South west. They will simply get madly richer.

THERE ARE WORST POLICE STATIONS IN IGBO LAND SO THIS IS NOT NEWS. SOUTH EAST REMAINS THE MOST BACKWARD REGION IN NIGERIA

Take your attention seeking as$ out of here.

cjrane:
I very much like your contribution. i just like to add to your contribution a little more.
One thing i have gained by traveling to some few tourist sites abroad myself is that if the site isn't a true wonder of the world, such as Niagra falls or Zambezi/ victoria falls, it would be almost impossible for anyone to leave their country of origin in Europe or America to head to Ogbunike cave or Ngwo pine forest. However, you can attract them to Enugu first by a proven partnership between (International Airline to Enugu + Hotels where they would lodge and to pick them up from the airport and the travel agency in their home countries).This is the tripod for successful tourism in any country doing it. Thus, working with fine hotels here and Ethiopian airline to package a subsidized vacation. Once they know one week vacation will cost $2,000 dollars including airfares and hotel, then they are likely to pay for the package. Ofcourse when they are here, the participating hotel can take them to local tourist sites like Ngwo pine forest, Ogbunike cave, ezeagu waterfall etc, if those were developed. They will typically buy souvenirs in Nigeria, they will pay for the transportation of using the hotel's air-conditioned mini-buses to travel around, food, local clothing, local art work etc. These will then add to funds coming into the economy.

Kenya and South Africa are able to maintain a reasonably high amount of tourists visits from western countries in spite of fear about terrorism and crime in those countries because they organize packaged vacations through travel agencies in the West, Japan and China.
Coming to Nigeria isn't an easy task at all, even for Nigerian citizens living abroad with their spouse and children. If you go to our embassies for your children visa because they are born abroad, they will be dribbling you from pillar to post, until you pay someone bribe. For foreigners who aren't used to that type of "settlement" behavior from government offices, they simply skip going to Nigeria and choose Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa. That is why i always laugh when our Nigerian tourism ministers naively say building up a cultural carnival or festival is just enough to bring anyone to come to Nigeria without fixing the massive hurdles involved in actually coming to Nigeria.If we fix the hurdles involved in coming to Nigeria, even without ministry of tourism, tourists from all parts of the world will flood Nigeria.

Think about it and put yourself in a tourist's position. If there were a travel agency at the Shoprite Mall, Enugu who is speaking Igbo or English and promoting a packaged one week vacation trip to Brazil for $2,000 or $3,000 dollars (airfare, hotels,visa), if you have money, you may want to pay and the travel agency will sort out everything. If you had to seek out Brazil embassy yourself and find airlines flying to Rio de janeiro, and also to find hotels in Rio where you will stay for 1 week, to learn how to communicate in Portuguese or learn the language so that you can take taxis there and move around, it will be too daunting and you will probably never visit there. Unless, we simplify these and make the tourist just pay a lump-some specified amount upfront and everything else involved is taken care of, they will never come here.

I love this idea. Why can't you pitch or email the governor some of these ideas?
