"Mr. Language they understand" have spoken the language APC Lagos really misunderstood. Always know that spoken words are like visible thoughts from the heart. Let's see how it will end.

Just like that, an appointment of one individual to a position of authority will cause over 70 others to be retired prematurely. Is that how they do in other military services in other countries?

A good voice from the East speaking wisdom to the powers. Come down from your high horse Buhari and speak with these people and know what they are agitating for. I doubt militarizing the East will solve this problem.

And we will be scamed again because we are too gullible and weak as citizens.

One party system will do us no good.

APC's sole aim is to destroy Nigeria. They make terrible and unbelievable decisions

Do we even know that we have senate? Mediocre Senate President

Well written and clear to understand. Buhari is doing Tom & Jerry fight with Nnamdi Kanu. Bandits are deadly and kills nearly every week but they are not designated as terrorists because the self righteous one in Ask Rock doesn't think so. But once it is about Biafra, he will leave every other thing to face Biafra.

Pure politics .

And the carnage IMMEDIATELY commenced after Uzodinma's brazen attack on Rocha's okorocha..


Ugm is an ARMED wing of an APC faction in the East

You said my mind. This imbroglio has all signs of conflicting political interests.

Igbos are the real grassroot Nigerians.

Story! Storee!

And Buhari you elected is one hell of detribalised Nigerian eh?

You can have Okorocha as much as you like. And Igbos in their typical way will not vote him.

If all want a quality Igbo person to lead Nigeria, they plenty for Nigeria. Not people like Okorocha or Orji Kali. May be to fulfill quota but again it will be same of same!

I didn't bother to read all because I know it is the usual nonsense talk from a group of regards in the north.

So finally these people causing mayhem in Imo State are not ghosts. You see why intelligence gathering is key in this kind of situation. Can the bandits in the north be arrested too, they too are not ghosts.

I never know decomcracy can be weakened like this until APC came into power. What we called the rascalities of PDP was a child play compared to what's going on in current APC govt. Some elements in PDP can at least say NO! But these APC people are collectively too docile. Leaders of the legislative assemblies makes it look like they are appandages of the executive. The people they represent are kind of secondary interest.

Stop pitching ipob with war.
The only thing they can do is diverge into terrorism. But it will be their downfall.
In Igboland we don't harbor terrorism,so they will be receiving constant sabotage.

My good friend, I ain't pitching war with IPOB. Wars often start subtly like this, when immatures minds battle on issues that can be talked over maturely. And the bad part of it is that many people would be senselessly consumed whether they are in support or not. You see, all these wahala can be handled maturely if there is any atom of sincerity.

How does FG descalate? Options?

Mistakes made already...

1. FG MUST get deep into intelligent gathering quickly, to zero around on the brains behind the carnage in SE. These people are flesh and blood, and not ghost. A reactive staccato responses doesn't show use or availability of intelligence.

2. They should stop being jumpy to make blanket accusations to citizens or groups, without any tangible investigation and arrests. It is not everything that bites in the night is mosquito. Already the rush to tag IPOB as terrorist organisation without convincing reasons, only boldened them to act as one. Wisdom demands that it is not anytime you are called out to fight, that you go fighting. In fact it is not all fight that is worth fighting. Who would have thought IPOB will be made this popular when few years ago even many Igbos see them as charade. But today many have started listening to them as FG keeps on proving them right.

4. Sometimes the presidency mix up IPOB and the rest of Igbos together, creating a sense of mistrust even to the non IPOBS. You see, they should be matured on the language they use, as I have said above. As a leader, reminding a section of a country, about the horrors of the past in a way that reads like a threat is unpresidential. The presidency should be speaking healing and unity, and not divisions and threats.

5. And the presidency should stop being parochial in discharge of his duty. Repeatedly making lopsided appointments in govt doesn't help Nigeria unity. A listening ear is a friend to peace and justice anytime. Let's be matured for once to move forward.

Too bad!

Anything to encourage him is welcomed. BTW is Champion Newspaper still existing? Iwuanyanwu Newspaper.

The language used by IPOB and FG is really worrying. This will only achieve one thing - destruction. War rhetorics have never helped anyone. FG should rise above pettiness and descalate this tension building up. It will not end well on both sides if this tit-for-tat continues.

Agadagbachiriuzo 1, Ana egbu Achara, - these are strong man titles. It's just that death doesn't care about our exploits, successes and victories in life. RIP J. nwodo.

I thought as much that politicians fighting each other is the main source of these recent blood letting and burning down of govt infrastructures. It was not like this at the beginning of this man's government, until he fought with politicians. They are making the state difficult to govern.

So Nairaland will need license too .

These are the ways elders talk. Wisely. I wish President Buhari would have handled things by speaking re-assuringly to the worried youths. I wonder why old age hasn't robbed on him to be wise enough not to speak in language that incite violence.

humilitypays:
How Yorubas are happy watching as Fulanis destroy Nigeria just because they want Fulani to hand over power to Tinubu is really shocking and deserves a special study.


Yoruba people una well done oh.


Igbos will be vindicated very soon. The world is watching and hearing Igbos scream to high heavens while Yorubas laugh and paddy with demonic Fulanis with evil agenda against the rest of Nigerians.


As for Niger Delta, una own de surprise me. Because of your crude oil, Northern Oligarch formed Bandits they use to arrange shabby kidnaps of school children to get free billions from government which comes mostly from crude oil revenue allocation.



It baffles me how every other tribe have remained subdued in Nigeria, except Igbos which is what is infuriating these Fulani criminals in power .


How can uneducated, inexperienced, backward thinking, religious extremists, vindictive and civilisation and development hating Hausa-Fulanis be controlling the rest of enlightened Nigerians and pushing great Nigerian destinies backward and the rest of Nigerians remain silent out of either fear, cowardice or political foolishness they think would make these Fulani terrorists hand over power to them is baffling

My brother it is beyond understanding! An enigma of highest proportion. It is good that Igbos stood out in opposition to this anomaly while the rest of the country siddon dey look as if hypnotised. They are often deceived to believe that Igbos are the trouble makers but the smooth and quiet operators who work surreptitiously underground and hook their tentacles on every thing in Nigeria, is seen as the good ones. How this works is like magic!

HedwigesMaduro:
Those countries are not Christian countries. They are all secular countries with Christianity as a major religion. The only "Christian" country (so to say) is the Vatican.

Yes, their outward perspectives as a nation is secular however Christianity (both nominal and practising) is still predominant. Those who identify as non religious, are gradually increasing.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
RELIGION IS NOT BY FORCE,IT IS PERSONAL,IF LIKE YOU ACCEPT OR REJECT, IT SHOULD NEVER CONCERN A STATE,PROVIDED YOU DONT USE IT TO HARM HUMANITY.

That's absolutely correct!

Grayoso:
This is precisely indicative of the delusions of Igbos and how their warped minds work. One Nigeria is not about you living in every corner of Nigeria, profiting from those places, to then talk as if you are doing anyone a favour living that way.

You are in Kaduna Kano, Lagos, Ogun, Kwara, Kogi, Oyo, Sokoto et al to better your own fortunes and private circumstances plus gain opportunities you do not have in ala Igbo.

Nigerians now see through your hypocrisy and are fed up of you guys hence the lack of empathy and support been shown Igbos today with all that is going on in the SE.

You can't say you practice 'one Nigeria' more than other Nigerians because you are living in every corner of our nation whereas people can see that your actions on the ground just shows parasitism upon a people you make it clear, 24/7, you hate and want to be away from.

Things like even your apprentice system you replicate everywhere in Nigeria, that Aisha Yesufu condemned for it's tribalistic lack of inclusion of other ethnic groups, show Igbos are unprincipled hypocrites ready to profit from those they hate while pretending to be more virtuous than all others.

Bro, If you really practise one Nigeria more than others then Igbos would be the most loved and admired ethnic group in Nigeria today and not one most Nigerians are wary and suspicious of.

How can there be one Nigeria if we all remain in our enclaves and fortes. How do we integrate if we don't move around. What is one Nigeria then? Is it the one they shout on radio and social media without substance? Go around and learn about other people, it will help you. If you remove the big cloud of prejudice against Igbos, there won't be complains if there is none.

Talking about Igbos apprenticeship system, I think Asari Dokubo aptily educated Aisha Yesufu. You should give kudos to Igbos for inventing such system that have sustained their entrepreneural spirit with or without formal education. It has been published recently by Havard Business Review. If you wanted the model, why not go and under study it? Have you asked to be tutored and they refused?

Sipsum:
Guy just look at what you typed, try and be objective for once haba?, people posting what have you on nairaland are only voicing their opinions.
Their opinion can not stop you from actualizing Biafra if you guys are serious about it.
All the cyber bullying of Buhari has not made him to step down has he?
Tell your folks that are spread all over the country and your political office holders to return to SE and remove the bridges first.
Then you will see that Biafra will be faster actualized than imagined.

People are free to air their opinions my good friend. That's the dynamism of human beings. Don't shush people because their opinion irritates you. Igbos are entitled to their own opinion and please do respect it. How they go about what they want should not be your problem unless you have solved all your own problems.

SegFault:
Those are not Christian countries,

They grew as Christian countries and brought Christianity to many parts of the world including Nigeria. Potentially going more secular today.

plaindealer:
No reason for me to wait because I know you ipobs, you can not show me anything or rationally explain to the world how you are being vilified, it's all tales that you paranoid and delusional people cook up to emotionally blackmail people.

This is how shallow, empty and vacuous you people are, all talk and zero action.

How is it your problem? Yes, we are paranoid, about neighbours who never wish us well. You haven't worn the shoes so have no idea how it pains. If you are satisfied with the life you are living in Nigeria, it doesn't mean others do. And why if anyone tries to reason and engage in healthy conversation, you quickly shout IPOB.

Sipsum:
Point of correction, Igbos are the ones chasing shadows, fighting everybody thinking they can whip others into their lines of thinking.
They are victims of their state of minds and that's their cup of tea.
Unfortunately for them they are just a tribe out of over two hundred in this country.
When coesion doesn't work they tried blackmail, if it doesn't work they tried bullying.
People are becoming irritated with Igbo antics, this is why everyone is keeping them at arm's length.
Let them go and remove the bridges joining them with Nigeria no one is holding them down.

You see my friend. If there is any tribe that adapt fairly well to any environment, it is the Igbos. They are the ones that actually practised the so called "one Nigeria" by going to every nook and crannies of Nigeria to trade and live unlike some of you here. Inspite of what they went thru during the war, they've let go of the past to embrace so called Nigeria of the future until recently when they were reminded that they dont have a real stake on Nigeria project. And they said, okay, let's go our own way then. But people like you on Nairaland, neither want them to go in peace nor stay and continue Nigeria project on their own terms. If they ask questions, you complain! If they keep quiet you complain! Are you not paranoid about Igbos really?

plaindealer:
This another great example of ibo self-induced paranoia.

Please, give us one example of your villification.

You go wait tired! I no blame you.
