[quote author=christistruth01 post=130937344][/quote]But a Yoruba president can still do some reversal...

These words spoken by Chief Anthony Enahoro proved to be very prophetic given the succeeding events: the declaration of State of Emergency in Western Nigeria, the imprisonment of Chief Awolowo on the charge of treasonable felony, the unpopular declaration of Akintola as the winner of the massively rigged October 1965 Western House of Assembly elections, and the subsequent descent into unbridled violence (Operation Wetie) across the Western Region. This led to the collapse of governance in the Western Region, with Chief Akintola and Alhaji Adegbenro claiming the position of Premier of the Western Region. The widespread violence continued unabated until the January 15, 1966, Military Coup, which brought it to a stop.

I always tell people that the 1966 January coup saved Yorubaland but they never understand. The question is, why are Yoruba incapable of living in peace with one another? Before the British came, they were killing one another for over 100 years. When the British left and gave them a region, they went again for one another's jugular. Imagine what an Oduduwa country would be like. This is why the mention of balkanization of Nigeria is a nightmare to them. A tribe shouldn't hate one another so much. Thank God for Nigeria, the bottled up hatred at least is now channelled towards the Igbo.

Emmanuel900:
This is one of the sign of low IQ In black people and what make white people so advanced than us, white people will be curious and investigate if they encounter anything strange to unravel the mystery, that's how they make 90% of the discovery and breakthrough in Science and Technology and how they are developed. Black people will just term any strange encounter as the work of a god or divine intervention, it is just pathetic mental laziness.

You are just lucky it happened in an area with a lot of space and the Gas didn't occupy at least 70% concentration of the air around.

You should be thanking oxygen that diluted the concentration of the gas, another factor is the gas was also not released all at once in a way that it can quickly fill up everywhere and the quantity is also small.

You actually wrote nonsense while trying to make sense. Same black man you're castigating? Oxygen dilution stopped explosion indeed. You do not know anything about science and yet spent half your post talking about invention and people who don't. For your information, oxygen is highly flammable. The saving grace is the openness of the area, diffusion and the fact that the gas, most likely propane is denser than air.

he was a delta ibo....we know that now....soo what....??
this doesnt still give you no rights to be addin ss into biafra maps.....

SS is not a tribe. SE is not even a tribe but political invention to fool folks like you. Nothing gives you right to make an amalgam of your tribe with any Igbo people. It'll never work. If Nigeria ceases the wy its going. Your tribe stands alone. There'll be nothing like SS because all the Igbo people there like the Ngozi Okonjo family and Ifeany Okowa family won't become your tribesmen. They're forever NdiIgbo/ Garrit now?

justtoodark:
very bad idea....better leave with only your south eastern states....

when people already dislike you like this better dont add them to maps....

That means Nzeogwu is no longer an Igbo man since he was from Delt state ba?

Ojiofor:
I wonder why these delusional folks in IPOB thinks US will ever seat down and negotiate with umu ofeke na ekperima dika Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa. Instead of them to use all that money they waste in paying lobbyist and use it to bring investment in Igboland.
For over 15 years of IPOB existence they heve not errected any project in any part of southeast not even a borehole rather they are destroying the little we have so that the people will suffer more and join them in their madness. May God forbid them.

Funny how you quote your alt account just to make a point. Am I even sure you're not still the OP?

The tiger faced open defication animals always brag

Na thier way

Real tiger-faced, double-faced entities.

Yet their villages beat your brown-roofed cities in all indices? Wonders they say never end.

vanitybutiwanti:
yes they are not igbo and they don't sell lands to igbo, get lost with your conspiracy theories.

Yes ... they're Yoruba. Happy now? Anyway... I see your problem is idleness. So I won't dignify an idiot like you with another response. Bye

vanitybutiwanti:
Which igbo land produces more gas than Ogba/egbemi/Ndoni LGA in Rivers state? Most of you are just uninformed deluded illiterates.

Because the Nigerian state placed half an Igbo clan in Rivers and the other in Imo, they're automatically not Igbo. Ride on. Literate.

mrvitalis:
I have never seen revenue from gas earnings in Nigeria have you?

Why would you see it? They'll shroud it like mystery because they know the bulk of it are from Igbo land. Would you want the people they love to hate to have the conciousness that Nigeria is feeding fat on their resources? What they failed to understand is that the averge Igbo is more interested in sensible governance than handouts.

vanitybutiwanti:
I live in Lagos and port Harcourt, wetin you sabi? How much tax does 2 by 2 shops pay to state government in the federation? Can you kindly do your research on the components that makes up IGR and get educated. Igbos are not the only individuals with land, shop and houses in Lagos, you guys overrate yourselves. I dare say you guys pay little or no tax in Lagos, you know nothing about what makes up state government tax.

Sometimes I just want to deactivate my nairaland account because there are too many semi illiterates who talk about things they know nothing about here.sod off!

You live in Lagos and Port Harcourt. Live one place so that the thunder waiting to fire your hateful soul wouldn't miss okay?

Ttalk:
Respond like someone who at least attend evening class.

Noo...not even evening...now go and rejoice

vanitybutiwanti:
How many igbo businesses pay PAYE tax in lagos which makes up for 80% of IGR generated? You guys just beat your chest and talk about things you know nothing about.

How many Igbo businesses do the mandatory pension contributions for their employees?

You guys are largely and annoyingly ignorant.

Do you live in Lagos or just speaking out of spite? No...Igbo in Lagos get everything there free of charge. Land, shop, houses are given Igbo free in Lagos once they flash their Igbo ID. Are you happy now?

I perfectly agree with you debar your take on Lagos. The fact is that everything about Nigeria is synthetic so it makes no sense to say this state or that would struggle. But based on that presumption, the reality is that - no state in the former Eastern and Midwest would struggle because they are the wealth-bearing region of Nigeria. The fact that the Nigerian lying state wants to hide is that they rest are stealing from and feeding fat on these states such as Delta, Rivers, Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Anambra and the rest. Without these states and region, Nigeria would be no different than Chad.

Coming to the issue of Lagos. Just like most port cities, international trade is enough to sustain it though it would certainly decline if Nigeria ceases as an entity. The fact is that the most commercial tribe in the country are Igbo and without the Igbo, international trade via Lagos would certainly decline. That's why Yoruba get frenetic whenever they hear the word Biafra.

I can't think of who else the Trump victory would favor more than Mr Security, the Israeli Prime Minister. This victory is like an open check to Mr Natanyahu and a calamity for Israel's enemies like Iran. I have a feeling that this is the reason why Mr Natnyahu sacked his Defense minister, Galant. He wouldn't want anything between his quest to secure Israel with a clear green light that would certainly come from Mr Trump's administration. Who doesn't know that Trump has a deep love for Israel and that his pro-Israel stance is not just a matter of national policy like the likes of Obama and then potentially the Harrises of this world. I see Iran shaping up or their nuclear program blown away.

kellybently:
The last time Trump won. Any benefit to your region. Do you think he 'll give you biafra like you hope for the previous time.

Trump no send your papa.

My region doesn't need Donald Trump presidency to benefit because the same region feeeds you and your papa. However Donal Trump presidency is of immense benefit to me and all Christians all over the world because it is a nightmare for Islamic terrorists all over the world. Garrit now?

Omoawoke:
Igbos truly supported Trump, they donated to his campaign and voted massively for him

Did you see the election result?, he got 100 electoral votes from SE alone

Zombiie has spoken!

trutharena:
Igbos and their obsession with Trump.

But zombiies like you predicted that Trump would lose because Igbo support him. Remember you said everyone Igbo supports loses... Jonathan, Atiku, Obi and now Trump has been defeated because Igbo support him.

Somilat:
Why didn't you say so then?

Well... no rule says I should SAY everything I know.

The day they missed the headshot, I knew Trump had won the election.

Stoicful:
Trump needs to take three state from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to secure the lead.

Now you see why it all boils down to the battleground state. Any State can flip, most of these state will also have last minute voters, slow counting because every single vote really count.

Trump is leading in Georgia, Penn and Wisconsive with more than 70% of votes cast already.

EbinPawaGovt:
California just called for Harriz

214 -179 Trump still leads

230 - 187 Trump still leading and 40 electoral votes to the presidency.

California just called for Harriz

214 -179 Trump still leads

Just 60 electoral college votes more and Trump WINS. This is despite the media manipulation against him and the Republicans, whao...

Idye:
The man should have tried more to defend himself and fight. It's so sad. RIP

Against those two dogs?His chances were severly limited. Against one dog and without a weapon, he Must be bitten and even needs basic survival skills to escape with just bites. Without those skills just know that those dogs are faster and that we humans have lower tolerance for pain. Blame the security company that sent him out without arms and withou6t foreseeing the possibility of a canine attack.Also blame the dog owner for allowing untrained wild dogs unsecured.
