Oga, the Igbos couldn't have been above all the other ethnic groups in everything...perhaps in a few sectors but certainly not in every sector. I am not just Igbo, I am also a good student of history.

However you look at it, every ethnic group in Nigeria has evolved in the last 50 years, and a whole lot of these tribes, including those hitherto regarded as minorities, have proven their mettle in key sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Our country is awakening herself to the dynamism of nationhood, which rests more on the inclusiveness of negotiations, partnerships, common good and sustenance than on ethnicity and other biases that bear no real significance in our national project.

With due respect sir, you are a very poor student of history. At independence, Ndi Igbo were at the helm of EVERY facet of the Nigerian society. From education (we actually produced VCs and SU presidents of most Nigerian universities then) to commerce. From military to civil service. Engineering to medicine. Ndi Igbo were at the top. We occupied high echelons of civil service even in the core north. That's where the resentent started.

This comment of yours "Our country is awakening herself to the dynamism of nationhood, which rests more on the inclusiveness of negotiations, partnerships, common good and sustenance than on ethnicity and other biases that bear no real significance in our national project." is so detached from reality and manifestly false that I'm not going to dignify it by responding.

CoolAmbience:
That's why no one wishes for a war...'cos atrocities happen on both sides.

As for oppressing the igbos, that's a figment of your imagination because igbo remains, unarguably, one of the most successful ethnic groups in country.

By 1967 Igbos were above the rest of Nigeria in every thing. Then the war happened and Ndi Igbo were criminally and systematically reduced to nothing and dispossessed of their livelihoods. But then, 48 short years later, Ndi Igbo are back again at the top. It says alot about our indomitable spirit.

Ogogoro seller, yes i'm going to sit at home. E dey pain you abi?

For me and my household, 30th May is Ofe Nsala day and I will sit at MY OWN home to enjoy it.
If you don't like it, go and hang yourself.

Demainman1:
Most Igbo villages are under developed and they look like forest if you ever watch Nollywood movies. I really hate that look when i see them on those movies being an igbo myself.

My people, please build in the villages so as to bring these places up to the 21st century standard. Our generation unborn will thank us for it. while at it, proper maintenance culture on those properties are needed so that houses built can last a very long time. Regular painting, nice landscapping readily comes to mind.

For any Local Government Chairman/State Governor reading this, please embark on proper village/town planning so as to give our villages a modern organisation rather than allow the people to put up structures in an unorganised manner.

You really think those 'igbo villages' you see in Nollywood films are really from Igbo land? Have you ever been to the east before?
Ndi my papa say we be Igbo! SMFH!!

The medical practitioners do say 'we treat but God cures'. I think the nurse is right to some extent

That's in Nigeria. Most caucasian medical doctors in the UK are atheists or at best agnostics

What zone has Nigeria presidency really helped? The North is still the poverty and illiteracy capital of Nigeria, despite years of producing Nigeria's leaders. What did the average Abeokuta person or Bayelsans gain from OBJ or GEJ's presidency respectively?
Similarly, Igbo presidency will only benefit the Igbo elite who are already in bed with their northern puppet masters.

For the majority of Ndi Igbo, what we ask for is a reformed, fair and just Nigeria or outright independence.
I want my future to be shaped in ENUGU by an Okechukwu, who shares my dreams and aspirations rather than in far away ABUJA by a barely educated, fundamentalist Abubakar whose interests and mine are not aligned.

Again Kalu is fighting for his stomach using the name of South East. Very typical of Nigerian hearltless thieves masquerading as politicians.

Do not be deceived! The vast majority of Ndi Igbo doesn't care who becomes what in the zoo.

Most of us want one of these two things:

1. A restructured Nigeria where our fate will be decided in Enugu (by an Okechukwu) and not in Abuja (by a Muhammad)

or

2. A proud independent Country called Biafra

Nothing more, nothing less!

THANK YOU

I wish her luck! I hope she knows that Poland is probably the most racist European country! She better belt in for a long turbulent ride.
Again, I wish her best of luck. I was engaged to a Polish lady for 1year. I had a quick change of mind after visiting my wouldbe in-laws in a town called Tarnow. Their overt racism is incredile!! Their women like black xoxo sha

Having said that, that it didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont work for her though.
I'm happily married today to a black beauty from my Imo State

You are a clear example of dumb Nigerians. His post makes perfect sense.

dhestiney:
Which kind thing be this na? Nigerians are getting dumber by the day!!

Meanwhile Innoson is being hounded by the same Government...

Nansense! According to her, they were already on their way to a nice place, which will invaribaly end in ikwokirikwo.
Why would the guy need to drug her?

A beg, go and learn how to lie.

Bikonu oo, owuzi onye raa nwa governor oburuzie governor??

Quite frankly, other Nigerians should act like Igbo people and particularly IPOB.
Why should you sheepishly agree to pray for a peaceful election when we all know that it is a mere transition from one set of uncaring, insensitive thieves to another set?

Nigerians have been voting since 1999 but still their lives have got much worse while a handful of politicians live in immoral opulence.
Infact all Nigerians should boycott this election to show they are unhappy with the status quo and the viable alternative on the table.

PassingShot:
Kanu could have bolted through an already prepared special exit. He knew what he was calling for long before it happened.

Remember we're talking of a man who entered Nigeria through illegal means - he didn't use any of his passports (British and Nigerian).

Lastly, he lost all rights he could lay claim to the moment he embarked on his war mongering and call to arm crusade.

Could have... Would have... Those are conjectures and innuendos or alternative reality, at best.
Let's face the things we know to be true. That he entered Nigeria without travel documents is neither here nor there. If 'war wongering' as you put it is against the laws of the land, then you should demand that the government put him through a trial and convict him. That's what will make Nigeria a civilised country and not the zoo Kanu calls it.

Benjamin Franklin said the first responsibility of every citizen is to constantly question authority.
Robert Novak also said always love your country – but never trust your government!

Wish you Godspeed as you reflect on these.

PassingShot:
Your evidence please?
I am not saying he wasn't or was, but do you have a proof to your claim?

What evidence are you looking for? These are known facts:
1) He was INSIDE his residence when the army surrounded it
2) The army forcefully gained entrance
3) Nnamdi Kanu hasn't been seen since that date.

Given the above sequenece of incontrovertible events, the only reasonable conclusion is that only the army can account for his whereabout. Instead of sowing seeds of doubt, you should be alarmed that your governement extra judicially infringed on the rights of your fellow citizen, whether you agree with that citizen's believes or not.

I'm an Igbo but that doesn't make me Biafran
This Biafra of a thing is one of the weirdest things I ever seen...
Let's work had to make Nigeria better
I'm proud of the nation I was born into

"I'm an Igbo..." No, you are not. I bu otele okuko.

So this kpengele guy came to your office, locked you up and all your staff said and did nothing??

Oga lawyer, continue lying. We are listening...

"A working class lady..."

Sounds very weird and ancient to me!

justtoodark:
just stay away from the delta.....we dont care.....

And you are enjoying your "Delta" today aren't you?

"Guys think logically, and women think emotionally." is probably the most chauvinistic and outdated thing anyone could say. Are you from the stone age??

Na today?
Second Niger bridge is as jinxed as Lagos - Ibadan expressway.
All governments from Abacha have used these two projects to hoodwink the masses.

Ndi ara!

God plz make me a Nigerian living in diaspora.

Be careful what you wish for

I'm with him on this one jare! Some ladies wont even agree to remove their wig in your presence, ever!
I personally do find ladies prettier on their natural hair. Chikena.

Dear Kanu ... and the many other oka mma n'ama Igbos out there.
Next time build your Hotel or other investemnts in Ala Igbo.
If AMCON follows you to Ala Igbo unjustly, you can invite Amadioha to sort them out.
Unfortunately for you, Amadioha does not recognize Lagos, Abuja or ugwu awusa.

SWG25:
He was warned, it was wise he heeded the warnings of the avengers. Buhari should know that he's a despised figure in the south south and south east.

I like your selective amnesia. APC called for GEJ's head when he refused to visit Chibok because of Boko Haram threats. You have probably forgotten that

loomjet: To God be the Glory! It is with great joy and happiness to share this good news of mine. I received an mail from Sheffield today and they have overturned their decision. Just on my 11th week , wowwww!!!!

To God be the glory and Special Thanks to Justwise, Girlfio, Ebeano49 and all forum mates who has helped me through out my appeal process. May the good lord continue to bless you guys . I pray God should answer the prayers of the rest of the forum mates that are still waiting and favour them

@ Girlfio and Justwise I would like to to say a big thank you for your constant support and encouragement , i do not know how i would have gotten through the past couple of months without the wonderful people on this forum. God bless you all!
. This forum is blessed... Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations buddy! Soo happy for you and your family.

girlfio: Hi Ebeano, they didn't take very long to get the passport back to my husband. It arrived in Sheffield on the Monday and was back at the Lekki VAC in Lagos by the following Monday, so it took them about a week to process it. My husband didn't get the phonecall from Lekki. We emailed Sheffield on Tuesday, they confirmed that the passport should have been received, my husband just turned up at their office and collected it. I would say that you should email them next Monday, confirm that your passport has been sent back. If it has been then just give it a couple of days, even if you haven't received a phonecall from Lekki just turn up at their office with a copy of your email from Sheffield confirming that it has been sent.

Thanks. Will do just that.

@ Girlfio/Jenni1108 - I assume you've received your passport/visa now. How long did it take from the day Sheffield received your passport? I'm considering booking a flight for mid next month but not sure if that's too soon. Sheffield received my wife's passport today. thanks

damyoyepitan: Ebeano,,- mailed dem @ sheffield and also tribunals to know d status of my appeal and dt we hvnt gottn d Dates ,but dere was no reply from dem both ,shud I mail dem again.

Just had a quick read through your past questions as I understand it, you appealed on 13th sep and received a letter from the tribunal confirming your payment. I'm not aware of the tribunal sending acknowledgement of payment to anyone. Are you sure the letter is not a notice of pending appeal?? Can you post a picture of the letter here?... removing any private details, of course.

If you are sure that it is just a confirmation of payment, then don't bother emailing Sheffield yet. If your hubby is names as sponsor or representative on your appeal, then let him call the tribunal himself from here and ask them when he'd be getting the notice of pending appeal.

To summarise, I'd advise you concentrate for now on getting the tribunal to confirm they've processed and sent your appeal to Sheffield before contacting Sheffield.

target007: Oh boy, I dey happy for you oh...congratulations and may the Lord perfect all the remaining processes. I blessed God for you my brother, great news.
I pray that it is well for those of us that are still waiting in Jesus name.

Amen, my brother. This is easily the hardest thing I've ever been through! I know the 19 weeks does seem never ending but trust me, it does go quickly. Don't forget to always send whatever additional documents you come across to Sheffield, if you believe it is valid and will help your case. They will continue to accept supporting documents until your appeal is reviewed.

I will still be on here to provide my 1p advise, where I can. This process would have been a lot worse without the good people on this forum.

Take care buddy and good luck.
