Rich4god: This country will divide sooner than we expect, but it's too bad that we might not divide peacefully.
This division is not because IPOB succeeded in pushing for independence... It's not because Yoruba nation succeeded... It's not because arewa group or any other group succeeded on pulling out of Nigeria....
The country will divide because the central and state govt have failed to act on their primary responsibility, which is to secure lives and properties.
We all are seeing how the country is burning, from job to Benue to Enugu to ekiti to Katsina to zamfara etc... killings perpetrated by one particular group of people.
Everyone eyes is opening, and people are beginning to see that govt careless about their situation.
The anger is boiling and the boiling point is fast approaching.
When the people decide to take up arms.
The fight will be the people against the terrorist who may now be supported by army in the guise of trying to respond to the crisis.
This will further anger the people and the govt will lose control, leading to self realisation by every region.
If govt knows what is good for this nation, they should better arrest this insecurity issue before it gets out of hand.... Oh I even forgot, all the govt cares about is their pocket, this is why state of emergency is declared in rivers state, but can't be declared in Plateau or Benue.
The most annoying and vexatious thing about fulani savagery in Nigeria is that the so called fearless fulanis have been caged in their original homeland of Guinea and much of west Africa.............the tribe that incentivizes fulani misbehaviour in nigeria are the YORUBAS.....with their funny politics of igbo exclusion! go figure!
Lol.............an unbiased perception of Nigeria from those without vested interests..........watch out for a traveller's view of Onitsha.......filmed with a good 4k camera! watch !
I saw the video and I marveled at how those "peasant" Chinese were laughing, recording and speaking Chinese possibly mocking those policemen as they stood stretching their hands to receive the hand-outs. Gosh. And to think they'were fully armed in full regalia.
Can the Chinese ever try this with any European or Latino Police officers?
Africans are at the lowest ebb of human civilization and dignity. I'm so sad rt now
Same reason they could not see that Nnamdi Kanu was fighting for them all along! The typical Nigerian cannot rise above his banal instincts
IGBOPROMISE1: Before the uncivil war Onitsha had a magnetic pull that attracted people from all over the Eastern Region and from even as far afield as Ghana! Ndoni in Rivers state for instance had many of its notable indigenes have their formative years in Onitsha….Chief V I Odili and Dr Peter Odili are two accomplished individuals worthy of note.
The regional colonial gov’t of the time had good plans for Onitsha. The emerging city was also the seat of the Catholic Church east of the Niger. So Onitsha was well placed to succeed and was on an upward trajectory until that useless coup happened and truncated its progress! Nigeria happened to Onitsha just as it has happened to all of us in one way or the other’
The Chinese restaurant you mentioned, was it located near All Saints Cathedral? I vaguely remember seeing a Chinese restaurant there. Or maybe i’m just imagining things!
Yes it was........! I believe it was a Chinese restaurant.......to me, all restaurants were Chinese! The only restaurant I had ever seen was the Chinese restaurant at Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island. My parents always guided us carefully away from there. They pushed us along to the rooftop joint where the middle class gathered on weekends with their kids! Sadly, Ndigbo have failed to invest in such a nuanced lifestyle ...........all you see today are nkwobi joints with loud and rude madams and stranger bar girls............... Thank God for Soludo and the new solution fun center..I hope he hands over the clubhouse to Stanel to manage o! We do not want them to turn the place into another beer palour for Obi cubana wannabees wey full onitsha!
manuelkel: Which God? If the Benue indigenes feel like accepting defeats fine, if they also want to defend their land and lives at all cost fine. More than 3 cult groups with useless youths are killing each other at Benue state and you think God would help them? God don't help foolish youths who would rather kill each other, and wait for their aged mother's to go naked and protest for the killings. Benue is another kind of state in this Nigeria, I don't think there's a state as shallow as Benue state in the South. Medically they're poor, infrastructural sittings they are poor, educationally they are poor, security wise they're poor,human development they are zero,they're becoming poor in agriculture lately because they can't farm. Omor, they need to buckle up oo
you hit the nail on the head! benue people are just a difficult set to understand.......especially the Tivs, when you are gentle with them..they become hostile....when you are harsh, they suddenly become all nice! Anyway na dem sabi...when they are serious we will know!
IF WE CANNOT ATTAIN A WORLD CLASS CITY, AT LEAST, LET US IMPROVE THE SANITIZATION ASPECT.
A BIG PART OF IT IS ROADS, STREET LAYOUT, WASTE DISPOSAL, STREET LIGHTS, TREES, SECURITY, CHURCH, SCHOOLS, AND HOSPITAL.
I BELIEVE EVERYWHERE SHOULD BE SHOPS, SO THEY CAN ALL TRADE AND DIG THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WITH ALL THE MEANS PROVIDED.
THEN AT THE OTHER SIDE, WE BUILD WORLD CLASS RESIDENTAIAL STRUCTURES FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT, THIS IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND CARRYING EVERYBODY ALONG.
I LOVE THE GRID LAYOUT OF ABA.
I agree with you.......Onitsha has always been a trading hub and a traders' paradise, but I believe that Onitsha lost its way during the military era between 1985 and 1989, and even during the era of the clueless ex-governor from Uli.......I cannot even remember his name! Onitsha has not always been so chaotic...yes, it was busy but not fantastically rowdy as it got in the recent past!
I daresay Onitsha had some level of class and pizazz in the late 70's and early 80'...........the first Chinese restaurant I ever visited was in onitsha circa 1981...........Even Nnewi had some cool spots in the 1970s.........I remember Sabina or is it sabeena hotel at umudim near Okonkwo Kano's home..............my parents used to take us there in the 1970s ...damn the place was awash with airconditioners......a rarity in homes then!
I want Ndigbo to always put their best foot forward at all times......Kudos to Soludo...he was a bit slow off the mark but he is finishing his first tenure in a powerful way.........I have a strong feeling that he will surprise Nigerians in his second tenure,........I give him an A in overall performance.......especially for frugality and planning! Soludo has more plans for our great state!WATCH
LegacyB: I guess those Nigerians that supported this orange felon are happy now! Especially those who voted for him…….?
I am happy o! If your intent is to commit atrocities in our US under the cover of citizenship then think again because you will be shipped on a one way ticket to the sodomite camps of El salvador...ndi ala! After destroying Nigeria u want to carry your nefarious lifestyle here!
franchasng: They used federal government sponsored insecurity to destabilize Southeast and hold the region on ransom.
Federal government's sponsored insecurity since Buhari's tenure is the biggest challenge Igbos have now. Unfortunately some of our wasted Igbo youths are helping them to achieve their devilish plans of destabilizing Southeast and turning it to another Borno
You allowed that to happen cos you have no idea what fulani jihadism is and how it operates.........your treatise is full of ignorance and fallacies! You are neither a strategic or critical thinker.....sorry to say so!
Fulani expansionist jihad gives you 2 options (1) Allow the fulanis to eat and digest you piecemeal ...like they are doing to tian middle belt ...or
(2) Fight and resist fulanis ( like Kanu & Ekpa) did and they will use their immense influence on government security agencies and govt to undermine you.Stop malgning our youth that took up arms to defend their ancestral lands ...you sound foolish and naive....and I know you are not!
kettykings: I think, the neglect has reached this man,when everyone was shouting neglect since 2015 where was he.
Igbos must rise with ruthless intent and transform the East into the undisputed Research and Development capital of Africa. We proved our genius under fire—during the civil war, we engineered the killing machines like Ogbunigwe, crude oil refineries, palm oil refineries, radio transmitters, rocket guided missiles and other war machines, using sheer will, brainpower, and scarcity as fuel. What excuse do we have now, in so-called peace?
We are still in Nigeria, but Nigeria cannot contain us. If we could build weapons in the bush, we can damn well build industries in cities. It's time every high-turnover Igbo business—whether in tech, pharmaceuticals, engineering, or manufacturing—sets up R and D headquarters in the East. No more excuses.
Let’s pull back our smartest minds. Let’s train them, empower them, and put them to work building products that fuel our own region—not Lagos, not Abuja, but the East. This isn’t charity; it’s survival. No more capital flight. No more brain drain. No more waiting for a country that only knows how to marginalize.
Nigeria cannot defeat the East without external collaboration. Not in war. Not in development. Not in anything—if we stop holding ourselves back. Build in the East. Hire from the East. Innovate for the East.
This message is directly to zinox,T Distribution, Wenco communication, Slot, Nextoil, Beloxxi, Coscharis, Emzor, Orange drugs, and other igbos owned retail chains that has by sheer wit, ingenuity and merchandise out maneuvered their way out of all the obstacles that Nigeria put in business world.
The mansions are good , we appreciate them ,they have laid a legacy that will make sense till Jesus comes , now we need the businesses, business environments and clusters that will churn our the next palm oil to fuel convert , the next market place money spinning ogbunigwe, the next business miracle that will turn the Nigerian empty marginalization antics to a huge joke. Stop building hotels and start building solar powered business parks, we now have enough hotels .
Devote between 1% to 10% of your profits in your R and D in the east. If this is too much , then invest in Agriculture
The governors have more work to do here than the Igbo investors.........good policy initiatives.........something as banal as building an industrial park is so hard for our governors to do........Soludo promised an automotive themed industrial hub in Ogboji but work is yet to start there but he is a developmental economist.....I am sure he has it all planned out!
I am glad you spoke the truth for once..I have told my Yoruba friends that Ndigbo is the purge medicine that will cure Nigeria's heightened Constipation...........The small ESN/IPOB trailer has almost cured the universal corruption among Igbo governors........today almost all the governors are fighting to outdo each other in project delivery..............NIGERIA no worry the package you ordered is about to be DELIVERED!
A criminal zoo APC government paid to destroy ipob, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Biafra project and Igbo land.
To say you are naively foolish is an understatement! No wonder uncircumcised fulani teenagers are ruling your dim Igbo behinds! Tinubu is working with÷Ekpa and yet they are lobbying UK and EU to sanctions Finland......Go and pick up your brain from the latrine...I believe you left it behind! Anu ofia
Zionmdde: If he decided to carry nepotism on his head like buhari, then he should be proud of it and not trying to deceive anybody Come out with your full chest and say "yes I am proud to engage more of yorubas in my government " heaven won't fall.
This country has never been and will never be one. So let's continue with the turn by turn nepotism. Why hiding it.
None of my business though. Even those zombies defending him, we all are in the same boat. None of family members or relatives are part of the government
Exactly........Nigeria has always been run like this...Buhari just upped the ante......and true to nature...Yorubas have really outmatched every one else.......Agbado make una clap for urselves.......una score distinction for tribalism and nepotism! Like we didn't know b4! But dem still better pass fulani , who do tribalism and still kill you join! Aside nocturnal skullarship mining....agbado is mostly harmless!!
You left your studies ( the reason you are in the US) and instead went unto the streets to start protesting for Ukraine and Hamas...some even protested against American political parties......who does that! Go back to your country to protest!
NoIgboSoundTueh: To be honest and fair to Peter Obi, he did everything he could in 2023. He visited mosques, attended churches, tried to appeal to every part of Nigeria. But the truth is he’s an Igbo man, and that alone made many Nigerians not trust him.
There’s a deep believe that an Igbo man in power will be dangerous to Muslims and non-Igbos. many Nigerians genuinely believe an Igbo president would be vengeful. Look at how some Igbos online openly cheer the killing of babies in Palestine that alone prove the deep hatred non Igbo have for Igbo is justified.
Even if Peter Obi is intelligent( we all know he’s not)and has the answers to Nigeria’s problems, it doesn’t matter. Nigerians won’t support him. He came from the wrong tribe
Our only hope now is that the kind of leader who can save Nigeria comes from the North, South-West, or South-South someone the majority can trust, not fear.
Which Igbo man openly cheer the murder of babies ....have you gone mad! I for one do not want anything to do with Zionists .........they are even worse than the so called fundamentalist muslims........
Yoruba hyper nationalism is what is aiding their gragra.......how can Boka Tinubu keep Nnamdi Kanu in detention for 1 day after he was inaugurated as president? Especially as the appeal court had acquitted him...instead they still did their usual magic in the Supreme Court to continue his trial.........as it stands Tinubu has lost all momentum against fulani hegemonic tendency........they are pressing his neck seriously...........all that one does not concern ndigbo..........my prayer is nothing happens to Kanu cos Nigeria no go contain us........if una like talk say na chest beating ....time go tell!
aswani: Fulani needs to be careful over the handling of this matter, Middle belt are no longer on their side, the whole South are fed up of herdsmen menace (apart from Obidients).
May we all continue to sheath our sword as we live peacefully amongst each other.
I myself think they should have hired police or military escorts for their journey back to wherever. You cannot be speaking the same language as people terrorising others in their farms and be travelling with guns, even dane guns. The aesthetic is not good at all.
You are so dumb ..... Even an ape has more sense than you! What has obedient have to do with this?
Peterobiisathie: President Tinubu's administration has actively engaged military in fighting against IPOB's activities in Southeast and the results have been positive No more sit at home again No more Unknown Gunmen No more ESN
You are just a toad.... the trials of Ekpa and Kanu resumes this month...May God Help Tinubu if one of them is released........this game is not about firing AK47 or bazooka.......its about the truth overwhelming evil!
Samantha125: Someone needs to tell this man to trim his beard, because what kind of a bush is this?
But anyways, if tables were turned, they'd have said the woman is a gold digger... The husband feels emasculated simply because the wife didn't include his name as well, like no one is stopping him from also buying his own property in his name.
Dat one na marriage? Make the woman go marry the house na!
