Foolish op. What do you mean by Abakaliki version? How is ritualism -infested town better than Abakaliki.

Blue3k:
Last week similar incident happened in Ebonyi without any deaths. The funny thing about that one is the mother's and wives of these illegal miners were protesting their arrest. These criminal got violent and destructive and sadly paid price for it.

Mr man say what you know. In Ebonyi, the Nigerian Police did not arrest any of the so called illegal miners. Rather the cowards went into the village to arrest some people harvesting rice in their farms, some fragile and sick men in their compounds. And passerby going their business.The battled with the youths who had no weapons to save one committee member of mere development centre who parades himself as a force in the village and must decide what happens in the community who invited the SARS operatives to gun down the youths. It was not funy for the police cos if those youths had armed them selves with even sticks, story will be different.

Misleading headline, an evangelist is not a priest at all.
In catholic church there is nothing like evangelist, this is a cooked up trash. A catholic priest cannot live in a common yard or compound but parish house.

To hell with such deception. Igbos don't trash and peanuts. We need rail lines to all eastern states not useless waste going from Daura to Niger Republic, We need seaport in Onitsha,One Rivers State,Warrior,Calabar, dredging of Oguta lake to take light cargoes. International airports in the East. The only one in Enugu and Portharcouth have been abandoned to die and made non flight fit. We need cargo airport in Ebonyi, good federal roads in the east and withdrawal of hoodlums who parade in form of police,custom, FRSC rouges to extort and steal from commuters. Equitable appointment and representation else let us go. We need Biafra and nothing more

I'm asking because the America I know will never tolerate anyone that tries to undermine or attack their military whether with bottles, stones or grenades like IPOB.

Modified:



No wonder, nothing surprising.

How on earth do you think that American soldiers will be seen in a civilian settlement with tanks when there is no war going on as to be attacked with stones. This is only obtained in a country ruled by illiterate who doesn't know that 97%,5% does not add up to 100%

WHY NDI IGBO ARE ANGRY WITH NIGERIA

My friends who are not from the East of Nigeria where Igbos come from often ask me why there is so much anger in the East and among Igbos. Some wonder why, despite the famed Igbo 'wealth’ and enterprise all over Nigeria, the people still complain that Nigeria is unfair to them. Some insinuate that the anger comes from the loss of the 2015 election by Jonathan who the Igbos heavily backed.
And why is it that the current generation of Igbos are so angry as to contemplate carrying arms against the country? With lots following Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB with his secessionist message. Those not following may despise his antics and rhetoric but are sympathetic to his underlying message? And what is that message? That Igbos don’t feel wanted in Nigeria.

That decades of official marginalization and discrimination should be stopped or they would be ready to take their chances in a new nation.
First, for those who think this is all about Jonathan and Buhari. It is not. Igbos were disappointed that Jonathan did not win. But those whose candidates lose elections lick their wounds. It is allowed. It happens when your candidate loses election. Why did the Igbos invest so much emotions in Jonathan, a non-Igbo Ijaw? It was more because of the fear of their experience in the past 50 years. Nigeria has placed an embargo on any Igbo man becoming Nigerian president. Jonathan was the next best thing. Other parts of Nigeria have supported their sons to the presidency. Some have bombed Nigeria into submission to get their son to Aso Rock. Igbos have little capacity to blackmail Nigeria to the presidency. They chose Jonathan as their “Igbo”. But that’s not to say that they are angry enough because he lost to contemplate going to war on his behalf. Jonathan was not really the model of a President you would go to war for. And his Ijaw people have accepted his loss. So?
Igbo anger has been building up in Nigeria since I was a kid in the 70s. As kids, we made choices in our school years based on the narrative of the Igbo place in Nigeria. We knew of the glass ceiling against Igbos before we were out of puberty. After the civil war, despite the “No winner, no vanquished” program, Nigeria placed glass ceilings and no-go areas for Igbos. The war reconstruction program was observed more in the breach. There was the “abandoned” property program that was introduced to drive a wedge between components of the former South-East Nigeria. While the country was too embarrassed to put the discrimination program down in an official gazette, it was there for anyone who cared to look. It was evident in the Igbo police officer who stayed in one position while less qualifies juniors progressed to become his bosses. It was evident when no Igbo qualified to become the Inspector General of Police, or leader any division in the armed forces. It was there when "sensitive" or "lucrative" positions were shared in Nigeria and Igbos were conspicuously absent. It was there when Igbos were only fit enough to be made Minister of Information until Obasanjo came to power. And even recently, it was there when Buhari appointed 47 people to man the critical roles in his government and no one from the South east was there. Any time there is a federal appointment in Nigeria, its usually the east that shouts. It was there from Buhari first term to his second term and anyone in-between.
The Igbo elite called it marginalization. Other Nigerians countered by saying no part of Nigeria was getting enough. Marginalization was universal. But they forgot something. The Igbo cry of marginalization was official policy. It was expected. It was programmed. And occasionally, key government officials let it slip that Igbos should not complain. After all, they fought a war with Nigeria. Talk about No Victor, No Vanquished. There was a Victor alright. And they were reminded of that at every turn. Every appointment. Every national project. Nigeria was only pretending. Igbos were licking their wounds and complaining and the rest of Nigeria was too busy to notice.
Go to the South-East today. Since the 70s and the oil boom. Nigeria has invested in commercial industries across the country. None has been sited in the South east. None. Refineries, Steel Plants, Cement Firms. Any Industry. The South East was systematically de-industrialized. Even when it was the best location for any industry, there was always a reason why it should not be sited there. What this means was that any Igbo man that wanted to work in a commercial federal establishment had to leave the east. Add this to the indigenization policy of the early 70s that pushed the Igbos out of private companies. It meant that international companies also avoided expansion into the south east. The Nigerian Breweries, the Dunlop and other such firms sited their plants outside the East and only set up distribution centers to sell in the region. This is one of the main reasons the exodus of Igbos from the zone accelerated after the war and continues to this day despite the hostility they face in certain parts of Nigeria. And why most became traders and commercial business men. Because access to organized work either in the government, government commercial institutions and even commercial institutions were limited.
The only industrial enterprise in the east are built by easterners; Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha. These are Igbo indigenous industrial cities.
This has been the practice since the end of the war.
In addition to this, the Federal Government has systematically made it difficult for Easterners to do commercial business even in the East. The Federal Roads in the East are some of the worst in Nigeria. The Eastern Sea ports have been made ineffective. It was a war to get the Enugu Airport upgraded to an International Airport. The former Finance Minister shed tears on the day the first International Flight landed in Enugu. Yes, Okonjo Iwealla cried! Recently, it was only the South East that was conspicuously missing in the New Railway Plan of the Federal Government. Nigeria has 6 regions. And one was missing in a national railway plan. Incidentally, Igbos who reside here are the most itinerant in the country and would benefit most from a national transport plan. Even our President changed the plan to include his village but a zone of the country was not included.
When you go to the east, despite the lack of federal presence, the presence of police all over the east tells a story. They mount road blocks and make it difficult to have commercial activity. Recently, Customs has joined. And lastly the army. It is an occupied territory. They extort money. They intimate. They recently have started killing. Nigeria has made the east unlivable. Purposely. Carefully. I am often in conversations where people accuse the east of being clannish. That while we are welcome in all parts of Nigeria, outsiders cannot come to the East. My question is: why would you come to the east? To do what? There is no business to do in the east. Nigeria has ensured that. Why would someone from the South West of Nigeria go to the East to invest? No one would prevent you. But it hardly makes commercial sense. Nigeria has ensured that. Those from the North are there in droves. Igbos love to celebrate with cows. And the cattlemen go there to sell their cattle. No one molests them. In my village and most villages in the East, they live unmolested. But those are the only people who can find commercial reason to be there!

So those who wonder why Igbos are angry, wonder no more. While most would not dare carry arms against Nigeria, don’t under estimate the level of disconnection and anger especially among the younger generation. Nigeria is made of nations that came together to form a country. No nation will like to be in perpetual servitude. That Nnamdi Kanu’s supporters starred down army tanks with sticks is a sign that the next generation will be ready to fight bare hands if necessary to stop Nigeria treating the Igbo nation as second-class citizens. There will be fiercer and angrier Kanus in our immediate future if Nigeria does not officially stop the “vanquished “program against the Igbos who fought the civil war. You cannot preach unity and indivisibility of the country on TV and all your actions point at discriminating against the components of the country. It is as dangerous as it is foolhardy. Let those who preach unity walk the talk and stop open discrimination of their countrymen. History has shown that you cannot decree peace. You cannot decree unity. You cannot force any group to belong to a country by force, it may work for a time. But never sustainable.
Nigeria has a lot to look forward to as a united country. It also has enough for the regions and nations that make up the country. Our diversity is a blessing. Our failure to reach our potential is caused mostly by the internal contradictions and the inability to build a fair country that can bring out the best out of her component regions. Those who shout most about loving Nigeria today are mostly those its current unfair structure favor. But Nigeria will continue being as strong as its weakest link. And the weak links are all there to see. The East is one of the weakest links. Until it stops being a weak link, Nigeria cannot truly make progress.

Bolustical:
IPOB supporters are always quick 5o shout INNOCENT CITIZENS, GENOCIDE

But the question that runs through my mind like many other fair Nigerians are:

How will an innocent citizen attack a mosque because they have a problem with the Nigerian Army?

How will an unharmed people be searching for Hausas to kill?

IPOB members, over to you.

Pls let's not insinuate or point accusing fingers until we are sure to avoid fanning embers of discord and unrest. No being supports irate youths who kill innocent Hausa men and women at all. It is against every human principle, Christianity or traditional religion of Igbo's ad other tribes except may be Islam which I think its permitted during jihad or against infidels that is non Muslims. Its totally reprehensible and condemned

Do well also to show picture of the scale reading in ur house to clear all doubts

How would Igbos have restored Gen Effiong. Was it Igbos that have been in power since then. Did the family make any submission to Igbos or General Effiong apply for restoration to Inbox or seek assistance and was turned down. Did he seek help from South eastern governors and was turned down. What a lame thinking by Fulani Oligarchy so as to sow seeds of discord. Bi.afra will not operate a unitary govt like the zoo skewed to favor the Fulanis only. Even in the north how many hausas or other ethnic group have been or would be allowed vie president other than Fulani from Niger republic lording it on the rest.

LexngtonSteele:
I am a Muslim and very patriotic Nigerian. ..

BUT

I won't give Nigeria money to invest and not collect any interest on my money.

I would rather invest in treasury bills (I plan to).

Someone please explain if I am wrong about this bond not yielding any dividends to the depositor

PS - People ranting about Islamization of Nigeria are so hilarious

Islamic Bonds simply mean "no-interest-accruing" because it's forbidden in Islam. Since its optional to buy such bonds, it's not by force...And don't worry they won't recite Arabic when collecting your money

The islamization of a thing will not come sudden but gradual. Conditions are attached that make the islamisation gradual and steady. Eg provision of moslem community in diff sections of the council which will end up turning those places emirates in future and a moslem community larger than original occupants. This is because a typical moslem will marry four wives and have say ten children from each wife at least. With this at least one person has at least 45 person population. What will a 10 man population be in 50 years.Imagine what happened in Turkey and currently going on now in Belgium

Hope you advised them as well not to open their legs to you or any other man for sex since you or those guys are not their husband.

Why would a student will no benefactor be living in such expensive accommodation, why not squat with someone or share the room with up to 3 girls since the condition has changed

He will never know why I smiled.

DeGuyNxtDoor:
Good morning everyone, I would just head straight to the point here.

I happen to be a person who does not find smoking even the said harmless shisha fun. I hate it so much that I advice my friends to stop it when they do it in clubs. I also hate drinks as well, be it alcohol, beer or the popular kerewa hard drinks. I can at least settle down with malt as I don't take fanta, Pepsi, coke and the rest of the sugary drinks


Now my problem is my friends, they indirectly insult me over this, even my own brother did too, saying I look too soft cos I'm not doing weed or shisha at least which is harmless, that I'm not man enough physically. Its become persistent that its starting to worry me and I just wanna hear someone say I'm doing what's right and not wrong...

I'm not tryna show/say I'm a Holy person but I just don't like it. Is this normal? Are there guys like me out there?

Ok we v heard, however do you do women? girl friends I mean

Dont be deceived about "Nigeria being the giant of Africa". Just visit other small country like Kenya and Uganda.U will be amazed at how developed and better economy they are better than Nigeria. there every thing works.They have a functional system. Nigeria is living in past glory of 1960's

What is this talk about the gown being sacred and should not be worn with frivolity? The clan of Degree is not what makes a man,what makes a man is the outcome of the Degree.

For the records no university sells gown to first degree graduands for keeps. Its often hired for convocation only.why trying to kill a fly with Monday hammer

This dinosaur of a man is ill-equipped mentally.he is indeed a brat. How can a first degree holder wear a gown mearnt for principal officers of the university used for ceremonials. It means he never wore academic gown to know when and how it is worn. This senate is a failed entity/institution

So some youth called vigilante here organised themselves to form illegal roadblocks and detained some "innocent" individuals who were freed by soldiers and these same youth still had d guts 2show up at d barracks 2demand for some form of prosecution of these "innocent" individuals, and in d process the vigilante fired some shots right which killed d innocent child....in this naija thats about the most incredible lie ive heard.stop deceiving ourselves, its too obvious already

You cannot say it better

Where is the picture of the suspected 7 Fulani men

Some of the food items. Will not be valued by the poor woman. She might not need cabbages and salad mmaterial but would prefer local delicacy like okpa and abacha

I know this David Akuma. He read Geology in Ebonyi State Uni and from Ohaukwu in Ebonyi State
never knew he is the one married to this LovePeddler.

Good luck to him
