An eye witness claims traders traveling to Dubai were arrested and detained for having more than $4,000 cash.
They claimed it is an order from above.

Many may deny or discard this, but it is a matter of time, the truth will surely prevail.


My question is this, what kind of economy are we running now?
Is it Communism or Terrorism?

Nigeria is a practical joke. I guess the limit for the amount to be carried onboard is 10, 000 USD.

PenSniper:
Hear him, “One of the things that I learnt from my leader, President Olusegun Obasanjo is that one must never respond to the ignorant, the uncouth, the uncultured, the unlettered, the unrefined and the accursed.

“He also taught us never to join issues with the embittered, the obsessed, the imbecilic, the foolish, the living-dead and those that are emotionally, psychologically and intellectually challenged.

“Rather than a response, such sad and sorry souls are only deserving of our prayers and our pity.”

I cannot pity you or your silly display of stark ignorance on a public domain. If you had not informed us that you learnt from Olusegun Obasanjo of all people, I would have declared you a borderline lunatic. I must tell that your tutor in Obasanjo is a serious failure and can only be relevant in a zoo such as Nigeria. By the way, I can safely say you are a good student of failed human endeavor.

laudate:
The same land where your forbears and grandparents grew up, lived, schooled , farmed, gave birth and were also buried. Ask your father why your great grand-parents and grand-parents did not object to the formation of Nigeria until 1966.

Have moronic dingbat such as you heard about the "fight against colonialism"?

laudate:
That is part of the propaganda that your people have been spewing forth, in order to score cheap points. In case you don't realise it, those people have far more reverence for the late Sardauna, than they could ever have for your own folks.

Even if he said that, the man is gone, time has passed and things have changed. Those tribes know how to let go of the past and move forward, unlike your own folks who keep clinging to archaic events in order to validate their hate.

These tribes may not respect the Sardauna's aides, or successors or teachings... but they will never insult him openly, because they respect his person and his memory.

Now, please shove your half-baked propaganda in the bin. Thanks.

You resemble a house built on a sandy foundation. I suggest you stop flapping around and get some educated narratives about your silly country called Nigeria.

PenSniper:
I can understand your utter frustration at the irreparable loss in PH but your devilish plans to recover same is a pipe dream.
Rather than venting your spleen on me, hugging a transformer is a better option for you. And the better for you since no one will miss you.

People like you make Nigeria looks like home of idi,ots. Nigeria is growing toward disintegration and your only concern is "abandoned property". I guess you cannot run away from your shadow. Only a fool beckons to a stranger to show him or her father's compound.

[quote author=PentiumPro ]You get time to engage these Biafrans in their fantasy[/quote]I cannot wish you to snap out of your day dreams. I guess you must have been in a silly fantasy to recognize one.

laudate:
Oh, so tying 2 wrappers and having 4 market days is what qualifies another ethnic group to be annexed into the map of Biafra! Can you see how some people reason blindly??

God forbid bad thing! Tufiakwa! The Igala and Idoma will never be part of such folly. Go and get your Biafra by whatever means, but leave the Igala and Idoma out of your territorial expansion, biko nu.

During the civil war of 1967 - 1970, the rank and file of the federal side that pummelled Biafran soldiers into submission, were drawn predominantly from the middle belt, among the Igala, Idoma, Tiv, Tarok, Gbagyi, Birom, Bassa, Angula, Jukun, Zango-Kataf etc, followed by the Kanuri, Fulani, Hausa, Bachama and other ethnic groups from the far north. As we speak, the Igala people of Odekpe have been dealing with Aguleri people at the Anambra border over OPL 915, that runs through Kogi, Anambra and Edo states.


So please remove the Igala and Idoma from your calculations. Seek this Biafra on your own, without dragging anyone else into it!

@LastProphet, see how they have arrogantly attached your people to the map of Biafra!

@Cheruv, did you not say Biafra was for the SS Igbo and SE Igbo only, what is Igala and idoma doing inside your map??!

Do you think this people in the bolded have not heard the statement accredited to Ahmadu Bello that the Sokoto caliphate - Fulani will use the willing slaves and servants in the northern region to prosecute a war of attrition against the southern Nigeria. One of the reasons for the precipitation of January 15, 1966 coup was the use of Birom officer by Bello to massacre the Tiv people who opposed the political influence of NPC.

Obiagu1:
He gave his reasons.
Biafrans are republicans and have no monarchy.
In addition, our women tie 2 piece wrappers and we all have 4 market days.
If you noticed, every ethnic group that have related with the Igbo and have an immediate boundary with the Igbo is included except the Edo.

The reason for Edo exclusion is because they have a monarch. I think he said some time ago that unless the powers of Oba of Benin is diminished, Edo would not be part of Biafra.

So in summary, Biafra 2.0 is Igbo and all Igbo neighbours minus Edo.

Oba of Benin has no inherent or assigned powers since 1897.

laudate:
Oooh, I love it when people like you wallow around in ignorance. You are quick to forget that over 150 other ethnic groups exist in Nigeria.

Like I keep saying, provide proof please that Laudate is Yoruba. Every correct answer gets 20 marks!! Hehehe....

Every dream to annex Igala and Idoma to Biafra shall fail by force, by fire!!

Who gives ratass about 350 ethnic groups in a zoo called Nigeria? I would not mind granting independent homeland to the so-called ethnicities in the dumbass called Nigeria.

laudate:
Abi, can you imagine them adding Idomas and Igalas to their map??!! Chisos!! Whose dream was that?? I cancel that dream by force by fire! It shall not stand. Whoever drew that map, failed cartography in school.

You should understand this time is not colonial period. The people will join the emerging nations out of the country called Nigeria through their socio-political accord. They shall not forced to join Biafra or any other Republic for that matter.

PenSniper:
I can see that you so badly want PH so as to reclaim "abandoned property" by force after getting biafra.

Only a moronic dingbat and a demented freeloader will term any property as "abandoned property" while owners of the property are citizen of the country. If Nigeria should grow at all, the need for even dumbasses to recognize wrong deeds is imperative.

dejavski:
Actually our Niger Delta Republic would be a better option

I am 100% in support of the so-called Niger Delta Republic but remember the people make republic not the other way around. I am sure that Igbo in Niger Delta will definitely opt to join their brothers and sisters in Republic of Igbo land or even Biafra.

Omololu007:
you can all keep deceiving yourself.is either ibos leave with ibo land alone,or you don't get biafra.

Who the hell are you to tell where Igbo land started and ended?

Omololu007:
mr man,biafra should be an ibo thing.uyo,portharcourt,warri,asaba will still be part of Nigeria

Please shut your putrid loud mouth. Who made you the mouthpiece for the cities you mentioned in your goofy post?

lygn19:
Nnamdi Kanu stand down... this is not the way forward.

If his approach is not the way forward, then war is inevitable.

NIJJAking:
imagine igbo military officers coup taking place to topple buharis government as in a repeat of 1966 putch , what will be the consequences

I guess dumbass such as you does not realize there was no "Igbo coup". Please try to grow some brains. There have many coups in Nigeria after January 15, 1966 coup and none has been named either Yari.ba, Fulani, Hausa or Kanuri coup. One wonders why the jackasses in the zoo called Nigeria are bent on attaching one of the coups with tribal identity.

Closecall:
OJUKWU AND THE DECLARATION OF BIAFRA
Creation Of States by Gowon
To further destabilize the Ibos, one of the first official acts of the Gowon regime was the creation of new states. On May 27, 1967, he divided the country into twelve states, thus abolishing once and for all the old regions. Gowon immediately released Awolowo from his prison cell at Calabar where he was serving felony sentence. Previously, an agreement was struck between Awo and Ojukwu regarding a bilateral declaration of secession of the Western and Eastern Regions from Nigeria. This move was seen by both leaders as a means of creating a more prosperous Nigeria, and also to move away from the lackluster leadership of the northern politicians. Meanwhile, in retaliation, Ibos in the north and west were being massacred by the Hausas. The creation of states became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Ibos, as their area of influence was greatly curtailed.
To counter Gowon's move, Eastern Region Consultative Assembly, made up of mostly Ibos, on the same day,May 27, 1967 passed the following resolution that called for the creation of the Republic of Biafra.
It stated, "We, the Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of Eastern Nigeria, gathered at this Joint meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders and the Consultative Assembly do solemnly declare as follows:
"Whereas we have been in the vanguard of the national movement for the building of a strong, united and prosperous Nigeria where no man will be oppressed and have devoted our efforts, talents and resources to this end;
"Whereas we cherish certain inalienable human rights and state obligations such as the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; the right to acquire, possess and defend property; the provision of security; and the establishment of good and just government based on the consent of the governed; "Whereas in practical demonstration of these beliefs, our people settled in other parts of Nigeria, served their country in many capacities, and contributed immensely to the growth and development of Nigeria;
"Whereas we are living witnesses of injustices and atrocities committed against Eastern Nigeria, among which are the premeditated murder of over 30,000 of our innocent men, women and children by Northern Nigerians, the calculated destruction of the property of our sons and daughters, the shameless conversion of two million Eastern Nigerians into refugees in their own country, all this without remorse;
"Whereas in consequence of these and other acts of discrimination and injustice, we have painfully realized that the Federation of Nigeria has failed, and has given us no protection;
"Whereas in spite of these facts, the Government and people of Eastern Nigeria have persisted in their efforts to find a practical and just solution that would preserve the continued existence of Nigeria as one corporate unit and restore peace and confidence as demonstrated by the initiative of our Military Governor in getting all the military leaders together at Aburi, Ghana;
"Whereas the hopes which the Aburi Agreement engendered have proved to be misplaced and have been destroyed by a series of acts of bad faith and distortions and finally by a refusal on the part of the LagosGovernment to implement these and other Agreements notwithstanding the fact that they were freely and voluntarily entered into;
"Whereas the Federation of Nigeria has forfeited any claim to our allegiance by these acts and by the economic, political and diplomatic sanctions imposed against us by the so‑called Federal Government;
"And whereas the object of government is the good of the governed and the will of the people its ultimate sanction;
"Now, therefore, in consideration of these and other facts and injustices, we, the Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of all the Twenty Provinces of Eastern Nigeria, assembled in this Joint Meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders and the Consultative Assembly, at Enugu this 27th day of May, 1967, we hereby solemnly:
i) Mandate His Excellency Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, to declare at the earliest practicable date Eastern Nigeria a free, sovereign and independent state by the name and title of the Republic of Biafra.
ii) Resolve that the new Republic of Biafra shall have the full and absolute powers of a sovereign state, and shall establish commerce, levy war, conclude peace, enter into diplomatic relations, and carry out, as of right, other sovereign responsibilities.
iii) Direct that the Republic of Biafra may enter into arrangement with any sovereign unit or units in what remains of Nigeria or in any part of African desirous of association with us for the purpose of running a common services organization and for the establishment of economic ties.
iv) Recommend that the Republic of Biafra should become a member
of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations Organization.
v) Recommend the adoption of a Federal Constitution based on the new provincial units.
vi) Re‑affirm His Excellency's assurance of protection for the persons, properties and businesses of foreign nationals in our territory.
vii) Declare our unqualified confidence in the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, and assure him of our unreserved support for the way and manner he has handled the crisis in the country. So help us God.
Ojukwu’s Declaration Of Biafra
In line with the above resolution, on May 30, 1967, Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Eastern Governor, made the following declaration of Biafra independence from Nigeria.
"Fellow countrymen and women, you, the people of Eastern Nigeria: conscious of the supreme authority of Almighty God over all mankind, of your duty to yourselves and posterity; Aware that you can no longer be protected in your lives and in your property by any Government based outside Eastern Nigeria; Believing that you are born free and have certain inalienable rights which can best be preserved by yourselves; Unwilling to be unfree partners in any association of a political or economical nature;
"Rejecting the authority of any person or persons other than the Military Government of Eastern Nigeria to make any imposition of whatever kind or nature upon you; Determined to dissolve all political and other ties between you and the former Federal Republic of Nigeria; Prepared to enter into such association, treaty or alliance with any sovereign state within the former Federal Republic of Nigeria and elsewhere on such terms and conditions as best to subserve your common good;
"Affirming your trust and confidence in me; having mandated me to proclaim on your behalf, and in your name, that Eastern Nigeria be a sovereign independent Republic;
"Now, therefore, I, Lieutenant‑Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,
Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, by virtue of the authority, and pursuant to the principles, recited above, do hereby solemnly proclaim that the territory and region known as and called Eastern Nigeria together with her continental shelf and territorial waters shall henceforth be an independent sovereign state of the name and title of "The Republic of Biafra". And I do declare that:‑
i. All political ties between us and the Federal Republic of Nigeria are hereby totally dissolved;
ii. All subsisting contractual obligations entered into by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or by any person, authority or organization or government acting on its behalf, with any person, authority or organization operating, or relating to any matter or thing, within the Republic of Biafra, shall henceforth be deemed to be entered into with the Military Governor of the Republic of Biafra for and on behalf of the Government and people of the republic of Biafra, and the covenants thereof shall, subject to this Declaration, be performed by the parties according to their tenor;
iii. All subsisting international treaties and obligations made on behalf of eastern Nigeria by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, shall be honored and respected;
iv. Eastern Nigeria's due share of all subsisting international debits and obligations entered into by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on behalf of the Federation of Nigeria shall be honored and respected;
v. Steps will be taken to open discussions of the question of Eastern Nigeria's due share of the assets of the Federation of Nigeria and personal properties of the citizens of Biafra throughout the Federation of Nigeria;
vi. The rights, privileges, pensions, etc. of all personnel of the Public Services, the Armed Forces and the Police now serving in any capacity within the Republic of Biafra, are hereby guaranteed;
vii. We shall keep the door open for association with, and would welcome, any sovereign unit or units in the former Federation of Nigeria or in any other parts of Africa desirous of association with us for the purposes of running a common services organization and for the establishment of economic ties;
viii. We shall protect the lives and property of all foreigners residing in Biafra; we shall extend the hand of friendship to those nations who respect our sovereignty, and shall repel any interference in our internal affairs;
ix. We shall faithfully adhere to the charter of the Organization of African Unity and of the United Nations Organization;
x. It is our intention to remain a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations in our right as a sovereign, independent nation.
Long live the Republic of Biafra! And may God protect all who live in her!"
This declaration was completely out of taste for the leaders in the North. So on July 6, 1967, a war to make Nigeria one broke out. Following the Ojukwu declaration, instead of Awo declaring the western secession as agreed upon, he reneged on the agreement. He, instead, was lured into accepting a dual position in Gowon's administration as a Finance Minister and a civilian head of government. The Ibos regarded Awo's action as treachery and a serious betrayal. This act would resonate to haunt the Yorubas almost thirty years later during the debate on the June 12, 1993 presidential election annulment.
Ojukwu Absconded to Ivory Coast
The Biafran war raged on for 30 months. When it became clear that it was a no-win war for Biafra, on January 12, 1970 Ojukwu handed power to his second-in-command, Major-General Philip Effiong, and absconded Biafra for self-exile in Ivory Coast. On that day while addressing the troops Effiong declared, "We took arms because of the sense of insecurity generated in our people by the events of 1966. We have fought in defense of the cause. May God help us all in this hour of our need." And on January 14, 1970, Effiong surrendered to Gowon, thus bringing the 30-month old war to an end at the cost of more than one million lives.
Quite unlike the treatment Ojukwu received after returning from exile, Philip Effiong was isolated, ignored by his people for his role in Biafra. He lived almost in penury. However, towards the tail end of his life Akwa Ibomgovernment under Gov. Attah opened up onto Effiong. He was officially engaged by the government and was in the Akwa Ibom State team that negotiated the onshore-offshore deal with Obasanjo government in 2002. Philip Effiong died on November 6, 2003.
Ironsi’s Counter Coup
Nzeogwu's coup almost succeeded, but within two days his government was annulled by counter-coup within the military led by Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, the most senior army officer in the Nigerian army. On Monday, January 17, 1966, Ironsi became the head of the Federal Military Government and Supreme Commander of the Nigerian Armed Forces. On assuming the position, Ironsi made the following maiden broadcast to the beleaguered country on January 28, 1966.
"The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation. We shall give firm, honest and disciplined leadership. The Federal Military Government will stamp out corruption and dishonesty in our public life with ruthless efficiency and restore integrity and self-respect in our public affairs.
"In the public service, efficiency and merit will be the criteria for advancement. The government will study very carefully the questions posed by those who recklessly abused their public offices through the acquisition of state lands and financial deals. The Federal Military Government will introduce administrative reforms. It will also restore the laid down procedures for lenders and awards of contracts, so as to eradicate corrupt practices and ensure maximum benefit from the expenditure of taxpayers' money.
"The government realizes that a few unscrupulous foreign and Nigerian businessmen and contractors have contributed their own share of the tragic plunders and waste of the past. There will be no place in the new order for such profiteers and adventurers. An end will be put to extravagance and waste in public expenditure. I have already reduced the numbers of federal ministries and I have ordered the military governors to take similar steps in their areas."
Against all advice, Ironsi promulgated Degree Number 34 of 1966, which abrogated the federal system of government and substituted with a unitary system. This reinforced fears from other groups, especially the north, of the Ibos taking control of everything.
The Northern Coup: An Eye For An Eye
Major Nzeogwu's January 1966 coup had no doubt split Nigeria in two and sent both parties rolling down the road to a civil war. Ironsi's reign was marked by increased ethnic tension as the northern Hausa-Fulani ethnic group perceived him to be partial towards his Igbo group. After six months of the first military coup, on Thursday, July 28, 1966, the "return match" for the January coup was launched by the northern soldiers. This was in line with the 18th century Babylonian king, Hammurabi. One of his laws called for response with equal retribution: an eye for an eye. It was bloodier; more than 100 officers, mostly of Ibo's origin were killed. Ironsi was assassinated during a tour of the northwest. His host, the governor of the West, Lt. Col. Fajuyi, who refused to give up Ironsi, was also killed. From July 29 through August 1, Nigeria had no leadership or a central government. The highest ranked military officer from the north, Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon, was handpicked by the coup leaders to succeed Ironsi. This marked the beginning of northern control of Nigerian army and government.
On accepting his new position, Col. Gowon, on August 4, 1966, made the following announcement to the country. "You are all aware of the circumstances of the past weekend in the country which brought me into this office. I had the responsibility thrust upon me, and I had to accept it in the national interest. I hasten to assure the people of Nigeria that plans would be laid on for an early return to civilian government. I wish to add that meanwhile no major constitutional or other changes will be effected without the fullest consultation with the people."
The First Military Coup
The devastation that is witnessed today in Nigeria, almost forty years after independence, is an antithesis to the promise of January 15, 1966. On that day, Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu and his army boys staged the first coup operation dubbed "Damisa", meaning leopard in Hausa language. The promise then was that a new Nigeria was to be built from the ashes of the First Republic. Even the success of that coup foreshadowed the attractive danger the military was luring itself into. The coup was swift, brutal and merciless. When it ended, northern Nigerian leaders such as the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa; Ahmadu Bello, the Saduana of Sokoto and a powerful premier of the north; Festus Okotie-Eboh of the Midwest, a federal minister of finance; and Ladoke Akintola, the self acclaimed premier of the west were all killed. But no leader in the Ibo's East was killed. Because Nzeogwu himself was a Midwestern Ibo from Asaba, hence the coup took ethnic undertone.
Taking to the airwaves, Nzeogwu said, "The aim of the Revolutionary Council is to establish a strong united and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife. My dear countrymen, no citizen should have anything to fear so long as that citizen is law abiding. Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand ten percent, those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs, at least the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big before the international circles; those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calend ar back by their words and deeds. Like good soldiers, we are not promising anything miraculous or spectacular. But what we do promise every law-abiding citizen is freedom from fear and all forms of oppression, freedom from general inefficiency and freedom to live and strive in every field of human endeavor, both nationally and internationally. We promise that you will no more be ashamed to say that you are Nigerians.
"You are hereby warned that looting, arson, rape, embezzlement, bribery or corruption, obstructing the revolution, sabotage, subversion, false alarms and assistance to foreign invaders, are all offenses punishable by the death sentence. Illegal possession or carrying of firearms, smuggling or trying to escape with documents, valuables including money, or other assets vital to the running of any establishment will be punished by death sentence. Tearing down an order of the day or proclamation, or other notices will be penalized by death." (Extract from Beyond the Execution)

Per the bolded and for the umpteenth time, Gowon did not release Awolowo from prison in Calabar as he, Gowon, did not have such authority. If Gowon had such authority, one wonders why Nigeria and Biafra had a shooting war. Gowon would have simply ordered the arrest of Ojukwu in Enugu if he had such authority to release even a rat from prison in Calabar.

owobokiri:
The man is so utterly petty minded I am starting to pity him. Chike Obi at AMCOM was doing a trrrific job but he had to remove him just to appoint a largely ineffective northern ally. He travelled to the US and the NIMASSA guy was replaced with the igbo guy, he comes back and revokes that. . , prancing around storlidly like an infuriated ewe, this desert urchin thinks he is making some impressions with his crude antics. . He unleashes an avalanche of small minded-tribally induced appointments, then sits back and enjoy it as the hired brood of hyenas at premium times and the punch overwork their slavish backside to sell the dog poo as candy. . , then he jets into a dry kaduna or daurra for jumat, making it all look like a triumphant entry. . The king of the north. The Sarduannaa of Daurra!. . He went to Niger with a totally northern delegate, same to chad and cameroun. In Benin, Germany and the US, he stuck with an APC delegation, populated in the main by-you guessed right-northern hangers on. Even when Banki moon, the UN cheif came, these sorry-things managed to make it an APC affair. . . He hasn't visited any PDP state since he was elected, he hasn't even visited the south! He is just up there fuming and eating up himself. . That is your buhari, the "sophisticated" outcome of Tinubus tribally induced political madness.

The dumbass would not have made the rank of Sargent in Nigerian army if not the nepotistic tendencies of Tafawa Balewa and NPC.

The Zionist American Imperialist Machine has pushed the world to the brink of destruction, In the Coming weeks the 3rd installation of a world war would be full blown, and the death toll can not be imagined. Western Powers are hell bent on controlling the affairs of all people from all parts of the world, from the Arctic to the Sahel, they have military bases everywhere that are being prepared for the War that would end all wars, this is not speculation but actual Intelligence about ongoing military operations around the world, The 3rd World war would be fought between Communists and Democrats. And every Nation on earth would have to take sides. The war would be brutal, as there would be no mercy shown. The war would be a terrible War, and the more prepared Nigeria is for this war the better. I urge the men and women of the Nigerian Intelligence communities to wake up. There is not much time, Boko Haram is just the beginning of our troubles as a Country, there are more evil waiting to be unleashed on Africa and Nigeria in special. Nigeria should refuse all forms of foreign help in fighting boko haram, especially if they are offered help by Zionist Isreal and America, because Isreal and America are amongst Nigeria's greatest Enemies. As they would do everything to balkanize Nigeria, and already the British are using their Assets in Nigeria to cause division amongst Nigerians, The Director of Radio biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, works for British Intelligence. And he is foolish, he is expendable. And by the Time the Big Fishes come out to swim, we will annihilate him and his network. Prepare yourselves for the coming war, because whether you chose to believe it or not, it's already happening. To be Forewarned is to be Forearmed. Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The above post is hellishly nonsensical crap. However if the efforts of western world is aimed at balkanization of the zoo called Nigeria, I guess it is an idea worthy of cherish.

naijaking1:
Buhari either doesn't care for constitution or he has never heard about it.
First he fires the AMCON board and replaced the chairman with his brother without following the constitution.
Now, he appoints a sole administrator as of this is a military regime. Shame on him.

Nigeria seems to mount the wrong horse. Buhari is a dunce.

jarkbauer:
Nigeria is not the only multiple ethnic country. Almost all countries in sub Saharan Africa are. Congo has over 500 Ethnic groups. Even America is a multi cultural society. Obama won last election by wooing blacks and Hispanics. So my dear learn how to form alliances.
By the way if I may ask, if you dont need to be in same country with Yorubas and Hausas why do you need their money?
Igbos are scattered all over Nigeria doing one business or the other in Hausa and Yoruba lands collecting their Naira.why?

It is unfortunate a dunce such as you does not know how to hide your ignorance. There is one dominant culture in USA and it is English. You can wallow in delusion all year long, you still cannot make a sense.

figoperch:
Very sore losers they really are. Just bitter over nothing and Jonathan never even developed their region with all the billions looted.

You are a reticulated dunce.

jarkbauer:
Election they say is a game of numbers. Alliances are needed to win any election in Nigeria. It is nobody's birthright to be voted any person or group. SW,NW,NC,NE, decided to vote for Buhari while SE and SS devided to vote for Jonathan, all these based on personal convictions.
While everybody seemed to have moved on, the Igbos are still angry with everybody that decided not to vote for Jonathan. Can somebody explain why?

You are one among many reasons Nigeria is behind in every class of human endeavor. What a jackass.

Pchidexy:
@Duru, I have to conclude that you think through your anus. You have not made any contribution to this thread other than to attack someone who didn't attack you. Go get some brain bro!

It takes one freaking dumbass such as you who thinks from his or her anus to recognize another. I do not monkey with low class loons such as you.

If the magistrates in Imo State accept the mini-vans from the irredeemable miscreant named Mallam Rochas Okorocha, then moral decadency in the society is deeper than I have perceived.

mars123:
When someone is trying to make things right in this country, the corrupt and the thieves will always go against him...since I was born and now I'm getting old, the customs has always been corrupt. Personely, every custom employee won't like a change in their corrupt status quo.

Are you so low in intellect? I guess you will agree that it will amount to act of idiocy to appoint a retired Custom Officer as CDS (Chief of Defense Staff).

simpleseyi:
It's a bastard that brings insults to his/her parents. Now to your question. - No we Yorubas do not want to be in the same country with fraudsters, drug traffickers, money launderers, ritual killers, fake drug manufacturers, armed robbers, cultists, and prosti-tutes. We just force you to stay under us in Nigeria to teach you a lesson and let you realize that your destinies are in our hands. When we say sit, you sit. We we say jump into the lagoon, you jump. When we say cry, you cry. When we say fvck, you fvck.

I hope with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that we, ofemanus are not mates to good for nothing flat heads.

Thank you my fellow debaters and panel of judges.

Per the bolded, your father, Uncles, brothers, grandparents, sisters and aunts must have come in lower stock of intellect to have joined the war against Biafrans who wanted no iota of compatriotism with dumbass Yari.ba, Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri.

Dharniel:
for me, i would say in short, i believe in one nigeria and i think we are better as one...

If you are not blind, you are surely deluded. Since Nigeria's independence, the zoo has been in the so-called "One-Nigeria" delusion and remains perpetually backward.

azimibraun:
I don't know what you are trying to say because of the incoherence of your write up, Especially the topic. But I will still try to help you make a sense of it. Some of us are too educated and enlightened to take Mr Nnamdi Kanu seriously over his deranged and renegade ways. His modus operandi is getting serious igbo men, women and youths irritated. Self actualization cannot be gotten through Hate speeches from an Obscure Radio station you know. There are UN guidelines and established Mechanisms for self actualization becouse it's not criminal to seek independence so long as you meet the requirements. Why is Mr Kanu in 2015 not exploring modern and acceptable means of getting Biafra and taking everybody back to the very dark days. South Sudan and Eritrea I guess are the 2 most recent countries to gain independence in Africa. Did he bother to do. Study on how they went about it? Nigeria was under colonial rule and south Africa too. Thesame Britain that colonized Zimbabwe but we all got our independence differently. South Africa with some level of violence because of Apartheid, Nigeria got what is called a" Gentail Nationalism " it was very peaceful and had both the British and Nigerians smiling on the day of our independence. Now the question is this; are the igbos through Nnamdi Kanu t war with the rest of Nigeria? No! Are they under Apartheid rule? No! Have they followed the UN approved means for self actualization one of which is a "Referendum"? No! Because at this moment it's simple to see Majority of the Igbos don't think the Madman calling the rest of Nigeria " the Zoo" and making some non- easterners call the east " the Wild" is representing them. When you see a Nation who wants their own country you will know. Nnamdi Kanu is defrauding few unenlightened Igbos of millions of dollars and Naira over what is practically Unachievable.

You do not sound educated or enlightened anyway.

No, you don't have to be. Just hoping She has been deported cos there is no point living in a country you don't believe in or enjoying anything in it.

This mindset is the origin of drawbacks for Nigeria. She has every right to say what she wants and you too. However, her statement has no belligerency toward anybody as you seemed to appear in your statement.

Please, I urge Yari.ba to agitate Islamic Republic of Oduduwa while Igbo go for Republic of Igbo land. There is no place where Igbo and Yrai.ba can unite.
