you dont support niger delta but you support biafra.. then you must be an igbo man.. dont ever use the name Ijaw again.. you are not Ijaw..

Read my March 23, 2018 thread and cure your doubt. I am Ijaw and a Biafran.

You are not only clueless, but mad. Biafra covers all the regions that were regarded as Biafran territories during the war, and until a referendum ascertains that they would no longer be part of Biafra, they will remain so.
If your fear is Igbo domination, I wonder if there won't be majorities and minorities in your supposed Niger delta republic. My dislike for the north is not only that they are oppressive and domineering, but that but they lack the mental capacity to bring development. We are. stuck in underdevelopment with the north.

iamuyiekpen:
when you’re done whining you’ll calm down. That you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not in full force. Your Biafra is dead on arrival. Go with your Biafra. I don’t give a damn. We’ve made our decision and our decision is final. Deal with it.

Where is that concession that we all agree to be Niger Delta republic? I am an Ijaw man from Yenegoa L.G.A in Bayelsa state. I don't support Niger Delta republic, rather I am for Biafra. You will do well to allow me the right to choose I belong in a referendum.

There is not much time left.

Thank God you said "ideas".....Not facts...


Like all ideas, he is asking what will become of people like you who holds them as truth...

Time to start thinking outside the box and not what you have been programed to believe....

The Bible said that in the last days, wisdom and knowledge will abound, and that several hidden things will be made open. Alien discovery will not
change anything, it is part of the great lie to deceive mankind. You never wondered how the Bible was able to predict the sudden increase of knowledge? How a time will come that the world would become under a one world government, how buying and selling would happen only with a mark, and without it one can't buy and sell? Think, think! The knowledge you have now to discredit God existence has already been predicted, you are only playing a script. You are not doing anything extraordinary. You're a pawn.

omolola100:
you must be an enemy of the nation, i guess you are ipob member.

In your waving and unstable mind, you think one has to be an Ipob member before he or she becomes disinterested in praying or supporting Nigeria. Cos only Ipobs are jobless, only Ipobs plight bad roads and have avoidable accidents in the death traps, only Ipobs buy exorbitant fuel, only Ipob change naira(over #350) to a dollar, only Ipobs are victims of kidnapping and killings.

And they can't challenge thier elites like we can because they are largely uneducated
The northern oligarchy know that education is very useful
And religion is another very effective tool too
Religion made the powerful Persia(Iran) lower than the Arabs
It made the Ottoman(Turkey) a joke

What the south is lacking in is UNITY
The north has this in abundance

It is a pity. The average Fulani or Hausa is a victim of the religious indoctrination of the elite as tool for suppression and exploitation. And they will continuously remain victims until something major happens and they break free. The greatest fear of the elite north in the event of a breakup or restructuring is not about loosing their enjoyment of our resources in the south, but the uprising within the north, when the average northerner realises that they have been played by their elite. That moment when the crumbs thrown at them by the elite stops, they will ask questions. And also that moment the south develops astronomically leaving them behind, some of them will ask questions. Methink our separation or restructuring will not only help the south, but it will help break free the bondage the average northerner is put by their elite.
Truly, we need unity in the south. I can not fathom why we lack unity in the south, it is robbing us of our progress.

theTranslator:
We need true federalism badly

Yea. The only way to pacify the north and they would agree to true federalism is if, we give them a time frame to develop themselves to be reasonably self sustaining. And that would mean using the wealth of the south to develop it. But, I am afraid, they are too arrogant to accept this noble idea, even though it is a great sacrifice on our part. The problem of the north is not the average northerner, but it is the elites. Same way our problems are in the south.

theTranslator:
We shall get over it
The main reason I want to secede is because of our indeginious culture especially our languages
English is killing it
It pains me how children abandon their languages

For our indeginious languages to survive they have to be a first language somewhere

So long as we remain one without any efforts or room to keep our unique identities alive, we will lose it. Generations to come will be left with history, and that could be distorted.

theTranslator:
This is why the south must be united

I say the truth

The truth always prevails

Our unity will not produce any results, sadly. The national assembly is rigged in favour of the north. put all our representatives together, we will not still match their figure. And you can not lobby any member of them to go against the north agenda in that regard. Until that fraudulent 1999 constitution is thrown out, we can not do anything. That is where the power of the north lies, and they will do anything to keep it so.

PoloG:
are ijaw or Erik or ibibios biafrans?

If I slap your dirty mouth eh.

kingthreat:
Just know one thing. The moment Biafra is declared all properties your people have in the Southwest and North will be claimed. If you like complain to UN, nobody send una.

Na where your eyes dem dey? Chai!

ghettochild:

theTranslator:
Exactly
I understand
We shall rise at last

It's good this aspect of you is coming out, don't let it go down. The yorubas have a great history, one that could rival any other. Yet, this great history is stunted under Nigeria.

theTranslator:
Let me tell you
Stop following people
Think for yourself
Restructuring now
Secession later

I just see you as a Yoruba nationalist


But the secession won't work, not now

Think
You'll see
Keep emotions out of this

I have never liked you, but you just got my attention. You made sense when you said we should go for restructuring before secession. But that is how far the brilliance goes, that is just the end. The north are not dundies. They will never go for a restructuring in your own terms that will favor you. They will rather go to war than accept a restructuring that leave holes for separation. The north sees restructuring as secession. Restructuring can only happened in their own terms.

Godsownchild199:
Hi Everyone, I’m 26 years old and I want to share my little story with you all. I hope you can learn a thing or two from it. This is not my main account, I had to create a new account in view of my decision to share my story on this platform. I’ve been a Nairalander since 2012 and I have benefitted from the amazing academic and career insights shared by many. So, I thought it kind to share mine to help others in this amazing community.

I graduated from the University (if I reveal this, my colleagues who are avid Nairalanders would identify me ) some 4-5 years ago with a second class upper, then proceeded to the Nigerian Law School (still made 2:1) and served in Rivers State. I did my NYSC in a reputable law firm (name withheld) in Port Harcourt. It was quite an experience both good and bad. I left the firm after service year out of frustration due to the poor leadership and mismanagement of funds by the head of office (the guy has since been fired). Mind you, my salary as a corper was 10k (the average NYSC legal associate in Lagos earned at least 5 -7 times this amount). I had depression at this point in my life.

After my unpleasant experience at the Port Harcourt firm and months of depression coupled with deep thinking and reflection, I decided to relocate to Lagos in January 2020 hoping to find a change in perspective. Mind you, I’m not from a poor background, my parents are both highly educated and middle-class workers residing in the South. Part of my resolve in relocating to Lagos was that I wouldn’t practice law again, I’ll probably go into technology, banking, or corporate communications (I speak eloquently).

After my relocation, I teamed up with a friend to work at a technology startup somewhere on the Island but this newfound path didn’t go as planned (I call this divine providence) and I was back to sitting at home. I did a few speaking jobs (volunteering) and some petty legal jobs for my friends and family to get by. At this same time, I was aggressively applying for both legal and non-legal jobs. This decision came on the background of my Dad’s advice that I should dust my CV/Certificates, search for a job and revive my already dwindling legal career. My Dad’s attempt to connect me to a senior partner at a hotshot law firm in Victoria Island failed and I basically had to do it my way.

Fast-forward to mid-February 2020 I had three interviews in three law firms within a space of two weeks. These firms ranged from mid-sized to small-sized. I attended all the interviews, the first interview was in a small law firm managed by a Senior Advocate. The SAN immediately liked my personality and offered to instantly hire me on a monthly pay of 100k (below industry standard). The other two law firms had slightly better remuneration, great structure and were bigger in size and outlook but their recruitment process was lengthy and I had to start immediately with the SAN on my Dad’s advice. I grudgingly stayed with the small firm hoping that I’ll get an offer from either of the two mid-sized firms and then port. Unfortunately, COVID happened and one of the firms discontinued my recruitment process while the other firm out rightly rejected me. I was deeply heartbroken. In order to keep my spirit and dreams alive, my Dad kept drumming into my ears that a smaller firm meant more work and a better learning experience. He kept reiterating the need to “know” the law and stop chasing money (what all senior lawyers say ). So, I was basically stuck with this 100k job, trust me at first the environment was deadening and monotonous (reading law reports and writing legal opinions every day isn’t fun at all ). I felt like ditching my Old man’s advice and resigning during this period but due to COVID, I had to borrow commonsense and stay back. Little did I know that staying back was the best decision I would ever make to date, all thanks to God, my Dad and COVID.

While 100k may sound fair to most people, kindly note that some of my colleagues (with the same academic grades as mine) in top firms earned a monthly average of 250k or more. This awareness made me very discontent and unhappy but I still hung on to my job (a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush) besides, who quits his or her job in the midst of a COVID induced global economic crises.

Then in October 2020, everything changed! My boss got this very big personal legal project, it was really big and my boss asked me to come on board the project team. I was then paid the sum of N2.5Million for my participation and input in the project. Later on, another personal project came through, although little. I did not even do much this time and my boss gifted me 500 Pounds from the project. All of this financial largess is outside my boss’ magnanimity in other areas like superb mentoring, paying for my professional certifications, and giving me advice (my boss can advise for Africa ), etc. Mind you, no matter how much I’m gifted or paid from the personal projects handled by my boss, my salary is still fully paid and as at when due. All these legal projects are reflected in my CV and have greatly boosted my career prospect. These projects have also helped me to build an impressive Linkedin profile and I’m currently very active in that space.

Recently, I got involved in another personal legal project with my boss and was paid N2 Million from the project fees. Sometimes, I look back at the events of my life and ask myself how I got to this pivotal point. If I hadn’t listened to my Dad’s advice and sought God’s face, I don’t think I would enjoy this type of privilege. I remember asking God for a multinational job but here I was, stuck with a 100k job completely unaware that God put a multinational remuneration in a small office with barely 8 employees. I’ve only worked for a year and 3 months but I’ve achieved what some people haven’t achieved in 3-5 years (career-wise and financially). Please don’t reject certain little offers that come your way, pray to God and seek advice where possible. Some blessings come in disguises and you may never know. This is my little grace-filled career story; I hope it inspires someone today. I want to thank God Almighty for his grace in my career and my lovely parents for their advice and tremendous support.

PS: I have abridged my story to hide certain facts and information for my personal safety and that of my office and boss. My story may sound too good to be true but believe me, it is absolutely true.

I am so happy for you. Please, I have a legal business proposal for you. Kindly accept it. 070#41#5861#42

your mission here is to cause division but we have gone past that level.

Don't mind those Fulani paid urchins. God bless Yoruba Nation, God bless Biafra!

This is not the dream all Nigerians are waiting for to come to pass. We know the one we waiting for. By the way, when is his next medical trip to London coming up? I need to also start dreaming.

You go wait tire, my brother. Bubu get plenty body doubles lined up.

quote author=Elliot2 post=101700998] How can the igbos come out victorious in the midst of this chaos. I don't seem to see any hope that we will be free from these oppressions from the north and south west.

we the west are being oppressed too. we arent just united like the igbos.

The key to the south freedom is in your hand, the south west. You can't say you are oppressed if you are comfortable with it.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
If this list is true, then you see the rueason why no reasonable Nigerian of Yoruba extraction will call for secession. These patriots will not and did not die in vain. They are usually the finest in their set and lots of investment goes in their training by their parents and the country. Those who have never lifted even a finger for Nigeria will be talking down on the efforts of patriots like these who put their lives on the line daily. I will always honour their sacrifice by doing my best and praying for this great nation. They are true heroes and may God comfort their parents and families. All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. We will always have more brilliant officers who are patriots. Our worst experience was the Ejigbo Hercules crash yet our armed forces survived. May God bless Nigeria.

person wey don die don die. Dem no dey kill dead body.

This nonsense you keep writing is too early. Allow the man to do his job.

You can belong to terrorist organization and expect to be treated like queen of England.

He can now do his job in the grave with 77 virgins.
