The only good thing about Sowore is that he represents a younger generation that is ever becoming politically aware.

And that's where it ends. Igbos have heard the "I will do this and that in Igbo land" many times before. The problem with Yorubas like Sowore is that they don't get Igbos because they don't know Igbos. All they know is "one Nigeria" as if saying these two words will create love and unity.

We have a unitary structure that is strangulating the people in the SE/SS area and Sowore is talking about what he build in Igbo land? You have a system that is unfair to many and Sowore is talking about capital projects to appease Igbos?

How will Sowore correct the lopsided federal structure? How will he take on the North? How will he face the core North? How will he end quoter system? How will he approach self determination? Will he respect the right of Igbos to breakaway from Nigeria or will he adopt Presidiot Buhari's "our unity is not negotiable" stance? How will he bring fairness and and trust back into the system? How will deal with tribalism? How will he tackle the bureaucracy?

There many important questions that need to be answered, the days of "what I will build for you" is for the birds.

Nice one! Let Sowore give use a detailed road map showing how to solve the aforementioned issues.

My brother not all Breasts you see standing are standing on their own, some are using crutches.
# Becareful of that breast u r fantasising o!

blacks think that they will populate heaven with their black asses if they become more religious than the whites who brought religion to them. wake up! if the very whites who brought religion to u don't treat you well,how r u sure of a difference in heaven?

Any youth with a mind of his own,must fight for a youth leadership. At this moment in time,we must let this old to know that the present is ours and not theirs. Please,youths wake up!

If the police and the military are so quick to protect themselves from harm,then how could they be called heroes who fought to protect the lives of the people! That is why it does not move me to respect dead soldiers and others because they don't merit it. i can't respect a soldier who dies trying to protect the interest of the rich only.

Olatara:
So you think every Nigerian youth is on social media,? what about the thugs and touts out there used to rig election, I think they need money not "talk".

those touts and thugs used by the politicians to rig elections do not represent the majority of the youths. So they cannot stop any determined revolution by the larger masses. If Sowore can engage the larger population of the youths by engaging them in persuasive arguments -if he is able to win them over- then victory is his.

Take it or leave it, the armed militia are mostly not Nigerians.....
We have see videos of arrested militia who cant speak a single Nigerian language.
We have Nigerians too, but we have a high influx of armed militia from neighboring foreign countries.

Ok,this ur point too is plausible cos our borders are porous,n besided i am not in the fire zone. But now,what stops the fed.govt from treating them as the aliens that they are? why is it that the miyetti who are nigerians are claiming responsibility for the atrocities of aliens? why is the fed.govt asking for crazing colonies for supposed aliens? could it be that the fed.govt is compromised? could it be that those foriegners were contracted by miyetti guys to do this dirty job for them so that they can browbeat every to part away their lands for their cattle?

progress69:
God in heaven knows i hate dumb arguments.

If an illegal immigrant can gain entry into a country through boarders, then an armed illegal can gain entry. Do u know about the drug war at this boarders, or u think its sticks the traffickers use in securing their merchandise?
Every country has its own challenges, while America is dealing with armed drug cartels at their borders, we are dealing with armed terrorists. If the borders in the US are so safe, the US president wouldnt be making noise about a wall or deploying national guard to the borders. So understand what u argue about before going on the offensive.

You and ur fed.govt. are saying half truths! The only plausible reason that could be given is that fulani herdmen were able to gain access to arms due to the Gadafi(libyan) crises. But to insinuate that killer herdsmen are from libya only shows the incompetence of the fg. And to think that the fg is refusing to label them as terrorists and dealing with them as such(which they rightly are,whether they nigerians or libyan escapees),betrays them as compromised or accomplice.

i cannot fathom how a paid worker of the state has the right to use derogating words on fellow citizens. if he cannot individually name those people his messages are directed to,then he shouldn't speak combining the word "Nigerian" in the grouping. Nigeria does not belong to only the supporters of the present government.

Cromcruach91:
Excellent post.

Sowore wants to go through go fund me? How many Nigerians have heard about go fund me? How many Nigerians have access to the web?

Me think Sowore can achieve this if he can utilise the social media(the very medium that shot him to limelight). He should engage the youths in various media by letting them to see the reasons why having youths with character is the best choice. He can set a new trend by engaging in persuasive discourses as campaign strategy, instead of the old money throwing formula. If indeed,he is capable of effecting change in the status quo,then the litmus test is seeing his pedigree speak for him instead of his money. #good luck to him.

Sanchez01:
I am dead sure you are referring to 'Half of a Yellow Sun', the movie adaption of Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie's book. Why the first release was banned and heavily censored because the difference between the first release and 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is the BDSM act in the latter. It deviated from the main message and focused more on nudity and sex.

Sadly, the movie in itself is only half truth of the whole saga, since the producer(s) was(were) crafty enough to shield the devilish Ojukwu as he was caught bragging on tape that he had enough fire power to cripple Nigeria at the time. Of course, AP journalists were not convinced but he maintained his stance, claiming he was born ready for the war (see AP Biafran War archives on YouTube).

Sad still was that Ojukwu rejected foods and resources from foreign countries, particularly from the UN because they refused he used the air crafts meant for distributing food and relief materials in smuggling weapons in the same war he claimed he was born ready for.
https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.premiumtimesng.com/news/103624-u-s-blames-ojukwu-gowon-for-biafras-starvation-deaths.html/amp

In the end, people starved, Ojukwu grew fat during the war, children died, his lived and he eventually ran to Abidjan after unnecessary denying the people he meant to lead food. His kids are seen fat as shown below.

Guess what? Ojukwu returned a better Nigerian, contested for the seat of the President, the same he fought against which saw him lead nearly 3 million lives to their death.

If you are capable of reasoning deep, you'd hate Ojukwu and his generation like your life depends on it, but you won't because you are not capable of seeing the true picture.

PS: Picture below is Ojukwu with his two super important kids after he touched down in Abidjan.

you are writing gibberish! In 1957,igbos were murdered in the north without any provocation,and again,they were murdered in 1956,even though it was a political rife between the north and sw. Then,in 1966,igbos were murdered in their numbers even though the coup said coup was a representation of several ethnicity. Going down memory lane, igbos are suffering as a consequences of the action of the yorubas,who insulted the northerners in Lagos. it was that built up tension that resulted in the first murder of igbos. If anyone would be sincere,despite the flaws of Ojukwu, he did the right thing to protect his people. I want to stress it that the yorubas are the problem of the igbos,i and i cant fathom were that hatred is coming from.

nograv:
Ojukwu was right in saying we had a problem with attacks on Igbos in the north, but he was wrong to take us to war..

who took u to war? just listen to yourself? That Ojukwu was right about the killing of igbos in the north but wrong to have fought for secession. this is the same mentality behind ask the benue people not to defend themselves,but it is either for the killers. how do u reconcile this contradiction?

Yyeske:
Explorers, more pictures please to hurl into the numbskulls of those brainwashed IPOB miscreants about what they are wishing the Igbo race. Most weren't even born by 1994

And more pictures to question the humanity in the lovers of injustice! How many of those partakers of that injustice are alive this day? And also,how many of the Nigerian supporters who murdered innocent Biafran people are alive and agile;and are enjoying the dividends of their actions? Those pictures of the rwanda genocide is a reminder to all evil men in the world,that they will be remembered for their evil,forever!

The effects of war.

First people praying for war all over the world, may your plans never work

Nobody prays for war but,nobody should be pushed to the walls either!

Forget those who say masturbation don't have any negative effects - it does! however,just like drugs and alcohol, some become addicts and their lives ruined as a result;while some are not. I think those who don't agree that masturbation ruins life,are not addicts.

unless u have already started dating and have grown to a sensible height of maturity before indulging in the act of masturbation( say u r doing it cos u r missing bae), it will so ruin ur life! For guys,if you are not masturbating for the fun of it esp. when u are missing bae who will come to give u kpanshing the next day but,if it is due to the loneliness of not having any bae, then oyo is ur case! Masturbation will so tie u down socially,emotionally and physiologically; esp. if ur village pipo done give u spiritual wife join.

Bolustical:
A governor commissioning borehole in the 21st century, I really don't have a problem with that since it is commensurate the level of their civilization.

But let a governor from the West and/or North commission an hospital or roads/bus terminal (or other bigger projects), that is when you will know it's not 'world class', 'it's his job', 'our oyel money' (when in fact there are contentions over the status of one of their five villages), 'parasites', "unnecssary", "white elephantproject" etc.

I am not surprised, from mediocrities like "Keke Ambulance in Ebonyi and Anambra" to "Boreholes and Kegs in Anambra and Enugu".

What more can we expect?

true talk. most igbo don't talk about their mediocre leaders but always poke nose on others. If they could use same efforts put in poking on others' affairs,things would be better for them.

If not for anything,every nigerian youth must ensure that for once let's let these old men know that the present is now ours,and the future is for our children. Please,all youths ensure to vote for only capable youths seeking elective position. let's stop voting in youths of the yesterdays who never made any impacts in their time and now. #nottooyoungtorule!

We should be very careful picking lost stuffs like phones on the ground;criminals can drop stolen stuffs on the ground for unsuspecting people to pick them. This can distract law enforcers,and the innocent ones would be picked up!

jegz25:
Please can anyone educate me on what this bbnaija of a thing is all about? At times I would tuned on the channel but could not watch it for 5min coz its a waste of my time

...that is what it all mean - waste of time.

wine4dguy:
If you come to South Africa and see the lifestyle our Nigerian brothers are leaving you will understand why the brouhaha is still on between Nigerians and the SA police, me am even ashamed to parade myself as a Nigerian. I have met Nigerians who say they cant learn handwork, but resolve to selling drugs on the streets of SA. Please if you have a brother in SA who is not gainfully employed kindly ask him to review his lifestyle.

Does that mean that there are no south africans living that wayward life?

XhosaNostra:
If we're psychopathic, then your countrymen better keep away. Simple.
South Africa doesn't have only Nigerians as guests in this country. Ever asked yourself why you always find yourselves in these kind of situations? Not only in South Africa but Ghana, India etc.

We're not going to coddle you! Adhere to the rules or take the next available flight out! Plain & simple.

If you can justify this barbarism against your fellow humans, then the apartheid too could be justified. This barbarism is beyond the need to fight accused drug dealers and other laws offenders but,it is a sheer hatred for anything Nigerian! For a people who have gone through the injustices of apartheid to mete out similar treatment on others,only show that they weren't any better! I know for sure that there are better ways to address the issue of Nigerians going against the laws of the land. At this point,i think those south africans killing Nigerians are all victims. They are victims of the savage apartheid.

ShyCypher:
All I know is dreadlocks and black skin is a fatal combination.

Especially when marijuana is mixed into it.

I can smell strong weed on him - that must be why they shot him. Remember, policemen don't kill if you obey the law.

Ol up! in the next 24 hours if i don't come across any stupider person-i pray i don't- i shall give you the medal. I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences the wait shall cause u.

I totally agree with the op! I am an example of someone who has tasted the love of both parents ,separately! What i noticed is that,when mum gives u a meagre(illustration purpose) amount of money say #10k,so much emotions will be played(it could have been the only money she had). But when pallie gives his own say #200k for sch upkeep(he may still have #30 billion in the akant sha, and u will be like why not give me #10 million make i go flex for campus like OBO),there is no emotions played. It is only his stern face and the warning that you shouldn't squander the money. At the end of the day u will think mom loves u more than dad;but it is not always true. I think the idea of mothers being the favorites is a dangerous trend in this our age. This will adversely cause fathers to be less disciplinarians (this is a key factor that influences children preference),and it makes them to act feminine in order to please their children.

hopefulLandlord:
Why can't your prayer be more than sufficient to keep an aeroplane door in place? The bible is filled with promises that you'll get whatever you ask for in prayer so long you have faith the size of a mustard seed even said you can move mountain with that faith.

The Bible is also filled with promises of divine protection

Despite being filled with the Holy Spirit,the disciples of Jesus died very horrible deaths even though they had the power to stop it. And at last they got their victory in Jesus! If you think mocking Christians for not stopping their earthly trials make you feel better,then u r wasting ur time. Our reward in heaven is bigger than any pain.

until we as a people(Nigerians) realise that neither religion,tribe,ethnicity or whatever belief system should be held above humanity,the better for us. For the only true religion in the world is humanity,it is our only collective experience felt by everybody,therefore we must love and protect one another. Most whites have realised this and have gone passed the savage stage we are in now.

Deltayankeeboi:

I am happy u have finally shown ur stupidity to the world;it is not easy to be stupid and not show it anyway!
