Counter it with your facts erudite scholar or remain silent.

I did, by mentioning Bight. There's also the Bight of Bonny around there. If we are too use your logic, then Biafra extends to Cameroon and all the way to Gabon?

maestroferddi:
Are we on the same page?

Emeka? Who is he?

You have gone off at a tangent...

I mix you miscreants up sometimes, but yes, Emeka is an Igbo guy (not IPOB) that gave me a major break. Some other IPOB miscreant was going back on forth on that. I told him I don't hate Igbos; that one of them gave me an opportunity I did not deserve at that time, just because he identified with me being a Nigerian. So the foodfight on Nairaland is not real; it's where poor people on both sides go to show frustration. Clear?

You should go show this proof to Buhari and tell him to let your people go, Ewu. It's the Bight of Biafra, you idiot; Ojukwu just used the name. I can see why Kanu can lead clowns like you and not educated Igbos: you guys are far too stupid.

maestroferddi:
You are living in a fool's paradise...

Audio money cannot buy common sense...

Nobody discuss money. Is job money? Africans and low self esteem. Poverty, please go away and don't respond, or google your "brother", Emeka, and beg for money? I tell you what, he makes at least a quarter of a million dollars per annum. He can help your IPOB self.

maestroferddi:
I have made my points so you can continue regaling in fantasy...

You made no point. I heard poverty speaking loudly and clearly

Yellowbat ppl full for thread,de wail over a landlocked Igbo land
Is our God not a wonderful God?

Nobody gives a shit about Igbos besides poor minded folks similar to IPOB. It's Igbos living with everybody else that seem to care. Now I understand your delusion of Grandeur comment. IM your number and I will break your heart. His name is Emeka Anadu -- Bank of America Director of Risk. You feel better now?

dokiOloye:
delusion of grandeur

Please elaborate. I'm lost

maestroferddi:
You lack practicality, Mr Man...

The English, the French, the Italians and the Germans were the original arrowheads of the white race...

Most other whites accepted it and moved on with life.

Today the US is the capo di tuti capi in the scheme of things...everybody somehow accepts it and the world is thriving.

The supposition that all people are on the same footing, at least in the sense you are seeing it, is senseless idealism which lacks even a scintilla of pragmatism.

Petty jealousies and senseless spitefulness is buried deep in the DNA of an average black man...

For Africa to move ahead, her problems must be solved by Africans and I see nothing wrong for a signature race to champion the emancipation drive.

The Igbos can lead...

PostScript...No surprises that an Igbo son provided the wings with which you are apparently flying...

Mumu Oshi, what about the Russians, the great Austro-Hungarian empire and the great Viking from the scandis? Spare me, have we seen leadership in Igbo states? Or is it the same chop I chop? Again, there is zero special about the Igbo. There are no more special than the Tivs, Igbiras, Yorubas or Kanuris. Arrogance, they say, is blinding. It's no more obvious than in your nonsense comments.

maestroferddi:
Albert Enstein had a curious characterisation of insanity ....

What has more than 50 years of lazy idealism benefited this contraption?

Nothing is the answer.

Only cowards cower at outcomes that are looking inevitable...

The bold confront their fears with courage.

Assuming that Nigeria will continue as she is presently constituted is akin to leaving in a fool's paradise...

Have the Igbo elites not contributed to the destruction of this "contraption"? I can provide names if you cower at the obvious.

The people closer to the Sea cannot prevent the SE from the River as they do not own the River. It is an international waterway which no country owns

Rivers can't handle correct vessel, especially if they have to go upstream. Think! And inland rivers are not international waterways. Go try and sail through the Danube and Great Lakes unauthorized.

Igbochief001:
Lol you mean British and France help.igeria army ? ...how many Yoruba were in the army in 1960s ...middle belt was the fools that was used by the north don't flatter your self

And we saw how u got your reward after the war o

If una get mind try touch Igbo property in Lagos if we would not annex Yoruba land

Try shit ..even if it takes 1000 year we would avenge the deaths in biafra ....holding igbos back can never stop that ...all of you must pay one day yorubas and north ....we are keeping the anger locked up ....your house would be the battle ground

If you annex Yorubaland, that means no Biafra, because you'd have to stay. YEYE DEY SMALL. You guys are as dumb as Kanu.

ProT:
I don't think it's about being "superior," as no Igbo has claimed of being superior to anyone; I think it's more of being more conscious.

It's a fact that only Ndigbo seem to be seriously worried about the backwardness and stagnancy of Nigeria (even with all her minerals, ocean, human resources), hence, their desire to want out.
Almost every other group seem to be cool or indifferent with the state of things in Nigeria.
106yrs after amalgamation, 60yrs after independence, it's a fact that there is no love among the peoples of this country, all I see is mutual suspicion and backbiting WRT ethnic nationality.
A lot of Ndigbo are convinced the only solution from this cesspool is total balkanisation; it's a shame seeing people who benefit absolutely nothing from this cesspit trying to chastise Ndigbo for something as noble as seeking freedom.

You don't like them, and the feeling seems mutual, yet u seem cool to pretend to be compatriots with them; this one is worse than stockholm syndrome.

But balkanization will never work non-violently, we will all become small entities. Some of us might live better, but we'd also be smaller with less clout. Yorubas have been asking for restructuring forever. Please don't say Tinubu brought Buhari into power. He does not even speak for the Yoruba intellectual base, but the intellectual base do NOT have thugs. Tinubu cannot win a fair election in Lagos state; the intelligentsia know better.
Yorubas complain, but not in the Kanu style of insulting everyone.
Even if we break up, that will stop the suspicion issue, which is largely created by elites of all ethnicity to keep us barking at each other (as often happens on this site), but they'd still be plundering treasuries for their family and selves per usual. Are Igbo governors/leaders less prone to stealing than governors of other ethnicity? So that will still be an issue, but you're right the suspicions issue will reduce.

As an example, if Oduduwa breaks, the Lagos & Ogun axis will instantly claim superiority, and division will continue per usual. So, my brother, it's elites vs masses; hausa masses are suffering too but religion keeps those ones going. Apologies if I have sounded hostile earlier; I confused you for an extremist.

maestroferddi:
Then let the Igbos be ..

Is that too much to ask?

Did I hear you disingenously drop genocide?

This is not the 1960s, my friend..

I'm responding on a blog, my guy. Who hold Igbo? I have good relationships with the ones I know. Genocide was what happened last time, unfortunately. It should not happen again. An Igbo guy, Director at a major bank in the US hired me, knowing I might not be fully prepared for the job on day 1, but hoping I'll cope and adjust. I did, at the very least to reward his confidence in me. That's the love we show each other in the diaspora, not the local/IPOB home fight. I guess it's poverty. For me, Igbos are blacks, I care about all blacks the same (tribe does not matter to me). That may be because I've been all over the place and see we are on the backfoot and treated like semi-animals, so to hear this IPOB supremacy nonsense infuriates me. It seems like a confirmation of what other think about us -- clueless.

maestroferddi:
I feel sorry for you guys...

Seriously, do the Igbos look like the Igbo who would be deterred by your petty envies and bas blood?

You said we are landlocked, but we are complaining to you na...

The Igboman does not believe in impossibility...the man who was able a weapon of mass destruction from indigenous technology and found a way to refine crude oil under war conditions will do wonders if he has the liberty of being on his own without the suffocating jealousy obtainable in this contraption ..

I'm not envious of Igbos, just calling out the IPOB extremists. Their nonsense will lead to further marginalization or genocide of well meaning Igbos. BTW, like all other Africans, including Yorubas and Hausas, there is nothing special about Igbos. They are still part of a very backward Black race. It's like last and second to the last fighting for superiority. Take that to the bank.

maestroferddi:
See yeye excuse...

Read my comment again Oga...Stop wasting my time...

There is no excuse, Igboman. US, Mexico and Canada have an agreement. You think the rest of Nigeria would make such an agreement with someone who wants to keep their area exclusive while having access to other areas? Plus, the thread is about being landlocked, is Canada/Mexico/Landlocked on any side? You stop wasting my time and don't respond. Greed will eventually kill you guys.

Igbochief001:
Try that we would annex Yoruba land ....our properties must be respected

Yoruba soldiers sacked Biafra and will do it again. Ojukwu and co also stole massively for CBN Benin; we all know all that was checkmate. Extremist Igbos, always wanting to eat their cake and have it too, Ewu them.

maestroferddi:
No dull yourself...

"uber" is an adjective somehow synonumous with the word "very'...

Learn to read extensively...

You're correct; however, I tried reading through the nonsense and had gotten tired at that point. Canada, Mexico and US have nothing to do with secession.

Igbochief001:
Try that we would annex Yoruba land ....our properties must be respected

Google Yugoslavia, mumu. You guys will run away before being chased. Tell me, why do you guys want part of the zoo? They tried it before, too, burning stuff and such.

[quote author=afube post=89730575][/quote]Your points are giddygiddy as your name implies. International ship don't ply the Thames; they stop at the Port of London, you illiterate.

Emmanuelhector:
you made a great point.. And no clown wants to quote you.. funny

You're an idiot for call the above a great point. It's nonsensical at best. The river Niger is an international waterway? Ship will ply that? After getting through the Swampy delta? You guys are dumber than Kanu

Igbochief001:
We have lands all over Nigeria ....we can't leave our properties ...and the writer is no way Igbo

You don't have to leave it; you'd be chased away from it. It has happened before.

maestroferddi:
Trashy article written by a pitiable hack pretending to be Igbo...

He suggested the Niger Delta people will not cooperate to allow Igbos move their goods to the sea...

How absurd and narrow-minded!

US in central North America and yet both Canada and Mexico have been tapping from her Uber development and industrialization...

Don't worry about the Igbos. When we reach the bridge, we shall cross it...

Keep forecasting nonsense. Uber is a private enterprise and has nothing to do with sea access. They would let Igbos use their ports but at a price. It will be every man for themselves. All the nonsense Biafran agitation is to have exclusive rights to SS resources. This is not lost on the SS. They have bleeped Igbos up before and will do it again.

Asuito7:
If it landlocked what then will you say about the North abi is it both sealocked and landlocked

Burkina Faso is shipping through Ghana, Botswana is shipping through Namibia and South Africa, Ethiopia the same thing through Eritrea and a couple of other European countries. Just go and find out.

If these countries are doing this, what do you think of Biafra. They will ship through their southernmost neighbors if eventually their southernmost neighbors doesn't join them in their independent country. And as such their economic activity continues.

I always laugh at you guys ignorance when it comes to this Biafra landlocked of a thing.

You should even worry about the North because they are not closer to the south and the Atlantic Ocean unlike Igboland.

The author is discussing the Biafran concern, as we already know the Northerners have the same issue. Just to give you some perspective -- the SS bleeped Ojukwu up. What makes you think that will change? Igbos need Nigeria more than any major ethnic group; they are all over the place. Serious Igbos want nothing to do with Biafra; they know it will set them back 50 years. They keep quiet on Kanu because they need his agitation to get a larger slice on Nigeria's political fortunes. Again, one Biafra is declared and accepted, Igbos will be deported en masse. I have heard some Igbos banking on dual-citizenship; good luck with that.

DanHaske:
You don't know! Stop presenting your thoughts and opinions as knowledge.

Everything you originally posted is an opinion, no? Because your ignorance on the Bakassi issue was glaring.

DanHaske:
Your opinion though. I made a mistake replying some fool up there. Please unquote me.

Without that the topic you brought up is entirely fraudulent. You and I know the issues with our parts of the country. No one is complaining of leaders, as all sides are corrupt; it's the common people on both sides that really define the regions. Folks on the Northern end are not holding up their part of the bargain. They have refused to develop, and I believe we both have the same intellectual capacity. It's religious fatalism that explains the difference, and I'm almost entirely sure you know that; but you believe closing your eyes to it will qualify for a reward from Allah.

DanHaske:
And the south...
Armed robbery

Kidnapping

Internet fraud

Drug abuse

Drug peddling both local and international

Money rituals

Baby factory


Cannibalism


Witchcraft


Prostitution (local and international)


Human trafficking


Religious fraudsters

Selling of their own children

Cultism

Child abuse

Incest

Should I go on?

Please go on. It's clear you do not want a real conversation on this issue; you want an internet food fight, which means nothing really. Really, the South thinks it's shackled to never-do-wells who also have the effrontery to display arrogance. I say it's not arrogance; it's low self esteem in disguise. You know you people are far too backward.

DanHaske:
The north is the problem of this country! Thats how most people always chuckle satisfactorily to themselves. When you ask them how it is so, they began to wobble. Wobble around and end up saying nothing. It is quite easy to lay such accusations. But we should also know that there is no position that a northerner has held in this country that had not been occupied by a southerner. How they performed in that position has nothing to do with where they come from. We say northerners have been ruling this country ever since and nothing good to show. Well, it is not only northerners that have ruled Nigeria, and for those who would say that northerners have damaged Nigeria. I will ask you how so, but first let me briefly outline some policies and actions that have damaged this country.
Destroyer number 1 - Aguyi Ironsi
Aguyi Ironsi took power in 1966 after forcing the cabinet members to "willingly" hand over power to him. For the record, he had no business taking over power since the ongoing coup had been quelled by Yakubu Gowon. The first thing Ironsi did was to promulgate a unification decree. The damage that did to this country can still be felt to this day.
Secondly, Ironsi's actions or inactions led to the civil war. If the C in C had brought the coup plotters to book instead of giving them a luxury prison life, the northern officers wouldn;t have planned any coup and the northern soldiers wouldn't have hijacked the coup and turned it into a massaccre. The infortunate incident that led to the civil war. Ironsi did irrepairable damage to this country.
2. Olusegun Obasanjo
The baba himself. In his eyes, he is the best thing that has ever happened to this country. Obasanjo was the first President we had after the return to democracy, there was an economic boom during his time. However, he did certain things that has damaged Nigeria till date. For instance, he handed over local governments to governors just to get their support for second tenure. This action stalled the local governments in most states and has impeded grassroot development to this date. Governors now see the local governments as their cash cow and will not let it go without an agressive fight.
Obj gave Bakassi to Cameroon just to look good to the international community. No country gives away even a square inch of its land to another. The best they can do is to keep fighting over it and call it disputed land till eternity.
It was Obj that set the template for horrible elections in this country. Sit in a room, write results and go out and announce it. The electoral process has never been the same again
During Obasanjo, any elected public official whom he doesn't like was removed. Be it governor, senator or any other person. It was him that introduced "ghana must go" bags in the national assembly. Political assassinations left right and centre.
3. Goodluck Jonathan
I will not say much about this man. There are people here who believe he is the best president Nigeria ever has. But if you know, you know.
We are still yet to recover from the damage his looting machines did to this country.

The North is the problem not because of the leaders they produce, but because of the Northern peoples' religious fatalism. They refuse to develop human capital/themselves. If Northern Nigeria develops the same human capital as the South, the countries GDP will be 4 times what it is now. But no; they want Sharia and feudalism -- and other backward 5th century stuff. This the problem; the leaders in both regions are of equally poor quality.

TallPck1:
Governor paid a condolence visit and I hope he do the needful and replace the post with any of the dead relative. Wayo wayo government.

Well may he rest in peace of he meant well for the country and if it's the other side. Let him face judgement.

Look in the mirror, you'll see one of Nigeria's major problems.

An opinion of a Dr managing Covid 19 patient on this same issue.

I hardly involve my self in social media discussion in fact, I do stay off social media most of the time but now you draw me into this by your view/opinion on Dopesi's irresponsible"questions".
With all sense of modesty, I'm a practicing medical doctor and a senior one for that matter and also one seriously currently battling with managing Covid19 patients and some of its complications.
Currently about delivering a confirmed Covid19 woman.
Also let me inform you that we have lost lots of colleagues who are close friends to Covid19 and its complications and many of them nurses and other health care workers are currently in treatment centres across the country.
I stated the above to let you know how close I'm to issues of Covid19.
Now let me enlighten you here that the antimalarial drug Chloroquine has been known for decades for its antiviral property and is one of several drugs in our armament in managing Covid19. So when administered to a Covid19 patient, it is it antiviral property we are targeting.
Please be informed/reminded that up to 90% of Covid19 patients may be cured without taking medications, in fact a lot may not even know that they contracted the disease. Here the body's immune system would clear the virus.
Coming back to Dopesi's"questions", to me, they are synical, Hippocratic and DISGUSTING. I said this because I believe he knows that what he had before he calling NCDC is more than "ordinary" malaria fever he must have been used to.
It's painful for those of us in the front line of battling with Covid19.
I would always watch the implications of my utterances so as not to hurt any profession in the guise of politics. We should not play politics with people's lives and this is for everybody including those rulling us.
Raymond Dopesi was simply an INGRATE for making that statement.

Tell them abeg! The ignorance and cynicism is choking.

The op is a clear example of those that betray their father land for a morsel of porridge



Dokpesi was a patients,

so its from the horses mouth and I don't doubt him.


End the scamdemic

Because you are a patient does that make you a doctor? Blackman, please think.

escohido123:
He went there and he is speaking from experience so y u wan come cry.

Your fake government and antics will be exposed soon.

Guy, speak to any doctor you know before spouting stuff

As they shouldn't. Timi Frank is a grand illiterate. If you have a concoction, which I think this Madagascar nonsense is, you have to put it through clinical trial and test for efficacy; show that to peers; and have them replicate your results. That's how it's done all over the world. To see how African leaders are ordering this nonsense by the plane load should scare educated Africann -- we are led by illiterates. Why can't this idiot talk to a doctor (any one)? Can't you see doctors, even Nigerian ones, are not pushing for this. Only illiterates like Boss Mustapha care about this nonsense.

Again, with COVID, upwards of 80% recover with no medicine, so it's difficult to test what is working. SMDH!
