Why do some of us look for just about anything to PhD? Pull him down anyway you can.

Just for those without memories, too young and those of us that were dreamers then:

We supported Affirmative Action for Northerners.

We welcomed everyone from anywhere into the West and treated them better as strangers looking for opportunities among us.

Lagos gba Ole, o gba Ole.

When anyone arrived in Lagos at dawn, before dusk, he will be clothed, fed and given a place to sleep.

In those days, it was called commonwealth.

Yes, the rich and the wealthy accommodated the hungry and the desperate.

Today, these ingrates will puck in your face if you mentioned it. Even brag they rose from the streets sacking up and tenants to landlords.

When Awolowo free Education and Jakande Low Income Housing came, All Nigerians we're entitled.

How many millionaires or intellectuals made it outside West? If their villages were conducive for wealth, they won't leave. Go West Young Man Go West.

Midwest was part of the West.

Seun, I don't know him, probably came from the part of the Country where parents preached to all that the way a free born is born, so is a slave.

Western Youths are today shaking their heads wondering how naive their parents were!

AFONJA
1. A curse to humanity
2. A bitch to the fulanis
3. A national disgrace
4. The bringer of aboki government
5. The root problem of Nigeria
6. Betrayal of sane Nigerias
7. Lamentor of sufferings
8. Most stingy people on Earth
9. Refugee customers of benin republic

AFONJA!!! why did you choose to be such a disgrace to us as a nation.
Why do I keep having this feeling that an afonja was used to set namadi kanu up.

Long live the peaceful nation of Niger Delta, a republic that will naturally be formed after the afonjas, arewa and chibundus kill themselves in a battle of supremacy.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

Foolishness is indeed the sister of wickedness.

Why would you wake up one day and have the thought of killing your own father?

Emilokoiyawon:
You know, I used to think you are sensible but this post shows that you are full of shyte. Even if you don't support the protest, do you really want to live a country were peaceful protest is met with state force?

And by the way, an osun priestess is not the osun goddess. Just like the imam of a mosque is not allah. Where is you sense?

Blakjewelry:
We are not truly ready to protest, tribalism and religion still divide us

Solsix:
Dislike him how? I have never had any dealing with him no I have no reason to hate him. Mind my candidate before the primary is Chris Azugbogu but he lost.A research institute that is not functional should be a minus to him. Mind you so called philanthropist are not good administrators.

Officialgarri:
Don't force your nonsense conspiracy on me. Whatever your point is makes no sense.

The world perceives someone who orders hit on security forces as nothing short of a terrorist. It is the duty of a serious country to do whatever it takes to get the culprit arrested as to bring a conducive environment for foreign investors.

The world knows the frequent attack in the east is from the hands of a fugitive. It is good news to the foreign investors that that barrier has been arrested and his head should be promptly cut off if need be just like he did with the head of 10 girls for the burial of Ikonso

xamuel17:
Many Igbos openly or secretly believes in a Biafran Nation but not this route Nnamdi kanu is taking .

Biafra hasn't been actualized and you have already declared yourself "the Supreme leader" ?

Nnamdi kanu totally has no tact, doesn't listen to opinions and as blood hungry as someone possessed with an evil spirit.


As a igbo man , I want Biafra to be actualized but not under IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu .

I so much love the yoruba people
I love them sooooooo much know why?

Lights up my kpoli in peace

Joromi1:
Read with sense and understanding, you this IPOB youth. We will all sit here discussing Nnamdi Kanu and forget other major problems bothering us. That's what the government wants. They toss you something to debate about and make you forget your house is burning. Is Nnamdi Kanu now our top priority? This is why Fulanis will always Lord over you. They know how to press your mumu button.

Beancounter93:
Go and read about the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is currently held in Iran, has had very high ranking British officals ask for her release, including the Foreign minister, and the PM has also tried too...and who is still in jail, and also even got a fresh sentence.

And like Mazi Kanu is a dual citizen like Nazanin

Countries value their sovereignty and that also includes Nigeria. After all, African leaders told Obama to stuff his message about gay rights, and the US still ended up sending aid to said countries. Bubu won't want to be seen as taking instructions from our colonial masters...

Joromi1:
Her 'achievement' is for USA, so why are these clowns jubilating? Lol!

Was waiting on poster to post his link before countering most of the inaccuracies already noticed in his post,but........ Ichi town is in Ekwusigo LGA not Nnewi North from whence they were carved out along with Oraifite.
Nnewi,Isu,Oraifite n Ichi are reckoned to be sons of same parents,Ikenga and Nmaku,some history versions reckon the man's name to be Nmaku n is silent on the wife's name.Ikenga n Nmaku,according to Oral history,were the original founders of the settlement later known as Nnewi,from whence Ichi n Oraifite dispersed to found their own holdings.Isu's sons/grandsons/descendant were said to have gone on ritual exile due to a murder/manslaughter in the family from whence only a part returned n were absorbed in what is Uruagu today.Others were said to have settled in such places as Igbouzo,Ogwashi n other parts of Anambra n Imo states today (don't know how true that part of the story is)
Also note,Nnewi never had an Obi Nnewi.What we've always had are the four Obis of Otolo,Uruagu,Umudim n Nnewi-ichi of which the Obi Otolo is primus hence Igwe Nnewi.The titles of Obi Otolo n Igwe Nnewi go hand in hand,they cannot be separated.
Again,the four quarters are not villages,but communities that can stand alone in themselves but being of same ancestry remain one community.
Each quarter is made up of several villages,each village in turn made up of several Umunnas.Yes,the lead family in each umunna holds the obi of such umunna while the lead family of the lead umunna provides the obi of the village.
The assembly of the obis of a quarter's villages,along with certain title-holders constitute the Ime-Obi of such quarter,with the quarter Obi presiding.
The four Obis,along with certain Nnewi-wide titleholders make up the Igwe-in-Council.
All traditional posts are hereditary.
The highest decision-making/legislative body is Nzuko-Ora Nnewi,an assemblage of adult males,elders,priests n titleholders.
It can be said that Nnewi has been running a federal structure centuries before Nigeria ever thought of it.

Sealeddeal:

Nigerians including the esteemed individuals listed
below. See (People). Economy Agbo Edo, a forest land which belonged to Edo Nnewi deity, was cleared to make way for a new
market called Nkwo Nnewi market. The
development of this market propelled the fast
development of the local economy. As a fast developing city and a major industrial and
commercial hub in Africa, Nnewi experiences voluminous financial activities, therefore hosts
major banks, and other financial institutions. Industries are dotted around the city and adjoining
towns. Palm oil, cosmetics, motor, and motorcycle spare parts, books, and stationeries, textiles,
electric cables, and so on are produced in
commercial quantity in the area. Its main trading
centers include Nkwo Nnewi market (the largest
spare parts market in west Africa) and Nwafor
market, Eke Amaobi market, Eke Ochie, Eke Ichi Market, Orie otube Market, etc. Agriculture and forestry The main occupation of Nnewi people is trading and
farming, therefore they depend mainly on agriculture and commerce for their daily livelihood. Most Nnewian have mbubo (home gardens) and ubi
(out-station gardens) were they usually cultivate
their farm products. These crops when they are harvested are usually taken to the market for sale. Most of the prime cash crops include oil palm, raffia
palm, groundnut, melon, cotton, cocoa, rubber,
maize, et cetera. Food crops such as yam, cassava,
cocoyam, breadfruit, and three-leaf yam are also
produced in large quantities. The location of Nnewi
within the tropical rainforest gives it the ecological basis for production of a wide range of tropical
agriculture crops with widespread potential for
industrial convention. Industries Nnewi is referred to as the Japan of Africa, it is
home to many major indigenous manufacturing
industries including Ibeto Group of Companies, Cutix
and ADswitch, Uru Industries Ltd, Omata Holdings
Ltd, Cento Group of Companies, Coscharis of
Companies Group, Innoson Group of Companies, Ebunso Nig. Ltd, John White Industries, Ejiamatu
Group of Companies, Chicason Group, Louis Carter
Group, etc. The great majority of industrialists in the cluster of spare parts factories in Nnewi are also
traders, and most of these traders are producing
one or more of the products they specialize in
marketing as traders (usually motor vehicle parts),
and most began by distributing their products
through their preexisting distribution networks. Nnewi is part of eastern Nigeria's industrial axis.
The town has through culturally grounded
institutions that act as sophisticated networks
expanded to include an international dimension
through trading relations with exporters from Asia.
Over the last decade, the town of Nnewi has experienced relatively rapid industrialization. In
excess of 20 medium-to-large-scale industries
have been established across a variety of sectors.
Since 1970, Nnewi residents have controlled
approximately 80 to 90 percent of the motor-parts
trade in Nigeria. Nkwo Nnewi Market is the major import and wholesale point for motor spare parts
in Nigeria. The industrialists of Nnewi are adapting
foreign technology to local needs, providing
employment to thousands, and making available
goods and services which are relevant actual
needs of the Nigerian citizens. The first indigenous car manufacturing plant is located in the city, while
the first wholly Made-in-Nigeria motorcycle was
manufactured in Nnewi by the National Agency for
Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI).
