And it shall never be well with you that Kanu, the womb you came out from and the goat that sired you.. your offsprings won't be spared either.

Stupid Fool!

At times I wish igbos aren't part of Nigeria. They should have been carved out or ceded to Cameroon
I so hate their guts

I could still remember and hear the heavy gunshots in my head,the trauma from the Odi raid becomes even more prominent whenever i read of anything from or about obj. That singular act gives me the conviction that Nigeria is a country of savages... i am yet to be proven wrong!

cummando:
I'm no bigot....but I just have to say this
The Igbo's are good people....but once they are convinced,they become stubborn,hard headed and irrational humans.
If one person can answer these questions for me I will forever fight for themthem
1. What are you guys fighting for?
2. Reasons for independence!!!
3. Why the Biafra war stopped!

Truth be said....asking for independence from a country that was formed with you as a major player is treason. If this is how every people ask for independence then we won't have countries and presidents anymore... Only streets and baales.
My talk doesn't matter but I bid you all to change. Its stupid to come challenge a landlord in his house. If its a zoo then leave.to me PMB is lenient. I would have given him the abiola treatment a long time ago. Who you be to come challenge me in my house
My prayer...y'all should repent. Our disunity na I'm dey make common South Africans dey kill us. Let's unite for once and see us become a world power. If independence finally comes to y'all Una go still fight.
Stubbornness won't help. Succumb to a one Nigeria. Left to me if independence happens which I doubt...I'll be the first person that would seek to break it! I'll collapse it.
.....BTW. I'm one of yall somehow

These kinds of blackmail r stale already in this discourse! Nothing is permanent, except change! states and their institutions and governments come and go, the only permanent thing in all our being as social animals is the basic instinct of survival, it is not bound by any agreement or allegiance! At this point in time, the indigenous people of biafra among the igbos have chosen to be independent (to sort another course of survival),so the least thing any sane human would do is to grant them the right to conduct a referendum,which is Democratic.

McTobe:
I respect OBJ but he is a hypocrite. He doesn't speak like an elder statesman, I wonder the kind of husband he will be. Any one that knows the enormous documents, proposals, reports & position papers that pile up in the ”incoming” tray of a President will know that it is not possible for a President to read in details all the documents that comes before him. That is the main reason why they have Senior Special Advisers on this & that Matters, that briefs them on certain clauses in the document before him. Having said that a lot will depend on the quality of these Senior Special Advisers for the Presidents actions in their domain. There are very few documents that a President may take all his time to read in between the line before signing. So if President GEJ decide to unban toothpick importation, so what. What did the Chambers of Commerce & the Capitalists do differently within the time that toothpick was under ban. Did they produce Nigerian made substitutes that can price less than the foreign ones, answer is NO, did they initiate any bill or lobby the Legislature to make stringent rules or even to make import duties on toothpick very high so that the locals will go for the Nigerian made answer is NO.
Ultimately the president will take glory & blames for success or failure of his government. But I don't agree that a president must Read through to the end all the subjects he appends his signature on.

i can't thank you enough for this your comment! I can't fathom the weak level of reasoning of some persons here. To those pointing fingers at and insulting gej ,have you guys asked obj if he did put in place any policy to produce the toothpicks locally after barring its importation?

ba7man:
Naah, its your chest beating ar5es I want to sort out first for thinking you can use those rantings from crap northern groups to insult the Yorubas.

Oya, i dey wait for u to reply dos northeners that called ur oba a tout, if u dey look for lexicons to use on any of their emirs,lemme know,i go supply u enough. until u do that,u remain a slowpoke!

ba7man:
Yorubas are the only ones that can guarantee your Biafra, so till we say so, you're prisoners of the "Zoo".

someone just called your oba a tout,go and sort that one first,u slowpoke!

fpeter:
what a waste...i don't know when these youths will have sense...the rich won't send their kids out to demonstrate.

as if it is not already a waste living in a country that does not have regard for human life?! Will it stop the rich from stealing our common wealth if he didn't involve in the protest? Go out and fight for what you believe is right,if one nigeria feels good for u,go ahead..!

TeamSimple:
The guy you quote is right..Most of the people who were once haters of this administration are now singing the songs of this government all because it is now handled by a Christian.

When Buhari is around they peddle false information just to bring the government down, but now that has stopped. It is no longer seen as an Islamic party.
Please just accept the truth..

Just be honest for once: has Osinbajo performed appreciably since he became the acting president? If yes,why shouldn't the masses including liepods praise him? And if no,will it be out of place that they criticise him?

jaymejate:
But couldn't raise my mom after so much services and dedication.
I believe God can do all things o

But seriously, being unconscious is different from being dead.
Go and confirm bro

Lazarus was indeed only sleeping as Jesus said, even though he had been lying cold n stinking!

Bahddo:
If I talk now, dem go see me as the enemy. Lying unconscious for 3hrs is not the same as being clinically dead.

i agree with u,even Jesus said Lazarus was only sleeping; even though it had been three days o!

freeborn76:
This is unreasonable...we are been reactive as usual. Majority of the South Africans here provide legit services and create employment in their thousands for Nigerian nationals; most Nigerians in S.A. on the other hand are involved in drug peddling and other vices. Abeg, let's stop this senseless reactive diplomacy. You chase out 3000 South Africans, they chase out 3 million Nigerians, whose loss? The focus of the FG should be creating an enabling environment for Nigerians to thrive here

Even if nigerians are committing vices in south africa,it is not enough reason for them to kill them extra-judiciously, don't they have laws and law enforcement agents to arrest and prosecute them? If the south African masses feel they are not comfortable with nigerians staying there,then they should
pressure the government to ask the Nigerians to go. simple!

DONGOYARO1:
God bless. I also keep saying it that we seem not to know the enormity of how the ibos have battered our image with their criminality. Few months ago, at the OT Airport in SA, I was shocked to my marrows when the immigraation guys, upon discovering that I am from Nigeria, asked me angrily ''Are you ibo, I hope you people have not brought your drugs business here again''

how about you go to america so they can ask you if you are yoruba coming to bomb or scam them? #bloody idiot!!!

duni04:
I don't think people are appreciating the seriousness of this thing. In Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya, South Africa, Spain, Portugal its the same story of the Igbo's selling drugs and engaging in crimes. Its like these people are pathological criminals. The other day people in Goa, India were protesting against Igbo's that were criminal kingpins there. What is it with the Igbo's and criminality? Is it in their blood? Is there a gene for criminality in every Igbo man? The spread is alarming!
Almost all the jails in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and recently Pakistan are filled with Igbo criminals. Its a very serious national emergency.

You are asking if criminality is in the blood of the Igbos,right?! In your self righteous mind nw,igbos are the only people that commit crime? kontinue ur stuidity!

Light and darkness have nothing in common. when you use the human mind to reason,the spiritual mind will go to sleep,and verse versa! most times, sin is what consumes us and render us faithless. I have been and still there, i know what sin could cause to the human mind in relation to the one's tie with God.

ipobarecriminals:
I'm old enuf to be ur fada. #Fact,no apology. It is only the poor people that join worthless /hopeless protest.I'll take u people seriously if I see ur 5 state governor /their families @ the forefront of protest with that mourning flag U Kal flag.Biafra is dead

dumb!

xstry:
going out there knowing you'll get killed is not an honorable thing to do, it is plain stupidity. What has his death yielded? He's a father of one with a family to support. This isn't bravery. Its plain madness

u dat luv life so much, hope u r immortal, if not u kuld get killed in an accident, in ur sleep, even malaria kuld cause ur death; i want to believe they are more honorable to u than dying for freedom?

omenkaLives:
Please quote me when you are ready to sound like a human being with a functional brain. It disgusts me when i see nonsense in my mentions. Is jonathan your father? What the fhuck is your business whose name i mention or dont i have the right to speak my mind anymore because your god is involved?

Go look for people of like minds with you and banter with them for as long as you like and leave me the hell alone- i dont owe you or anyone like you any apology.

Nonsense.

Jonathan was a failure and remains a failure. Any idiot who doesnt like me saying so can go to hell.

when u guys start talking like this,one would think Nigeria had been a first class before gej came. smh

I will be on my way tomorrow for camp at Kabba Bunu LGA; I am currently in Bayelsa State. Please some one should help me with direction on how i could reach Kabba Bunu NYSC Orientation camp. Thanks in advance!

hollywater:
Why are they protesting at the first place? I thought protesting in Nigeria is now forbidden? They were killing innocent biafrans yesterday and most of you here were supporting police action against them.

They took permit na-afonja!

Eledan:
So this is all about seeking attention from Trump to order the Nigeria government to conduct a referendum for the biafrans
Now I get it!

yea,kinda

there should be consciousness of our responsibilities as citizens,our reward system should be made right-where hard work is encouraged n laziness discouraged. in fact,our basic problems can be traced to our poor rewarding system-favouritism, tribalism n all that shits stem from our wrong rewarding system.

Eledan:
You guys like comparing apples to oranges? Who is protesting in america because Jonathan lost and elwction or buhari won an election in Nigeria
Show me the American city where a rally was organised for the victory in another country election.

the rationale behind the rally is the symbolism Trump represents. These guys r seeking for referendum, and they seeing that President Trump is influential,think that rallying around him could come with some kind of help or support. Everything is political,allow them to do what they want so long they r not troublesome. What u and i ought to do is to critic both d Nigeria force n d ipod excesses. #peace.

Eledan:
The simple cause was that they were expecting a different presidential election result in 2015 but were disappointed with the actual outcome

Really?! Can u please tell me more? i mean, what is the crime there! what abt the protests against Trump victory,should he now order the police n military on them? Tell me,is the reaction of the police n military on ipod proportionate with the actions of the Ipod?

Elliot2: All this boasts here and the claim that maybe one tribe is superior to the other is false, they had opportunity and made use of it good for them, there are so many Nigerians, Africans people all over the world that has made their mark in one thing or the other, it has nothing to do with tribe, I don't like Wole Soyinka, but when you talk of literature, he is renowned the world over for making his mark and winning a nobel laureate which no African has won. ,i am from Kogi and Cyprian Ekwensi and Chukwuemeka Ike is my author of all time, but none of them won a nobel prize. In medicine, Jubril Aminu a fulani from Adamawa's record has not been broken, everyone gets pass in medicine and no first class but he did and his grades has been unequalled, he become a fellow at age 29 in the UK, now as an administrator he is a total failure messing up the educational system and the petroleum sector. So its opportunity and good luck for some people. The North were not introduced to education all the time cos they had their own form which was different from Western education. The indians held on to their language and did not adopt everything western like Nigeria and they developed faster and better than us they are a nuclear super power today as compared with all those you mentioned. So, all what you post is Nonsense, use the same research to search for 20 best unversities in AFRICA and none, i repeat none will be from Nigeria, so what are we talking about? also, Bill Gates, Jobs and Mack Zuckerberg that are our 21st century inventors were drop outs, that is to tell you that there are people out there, on the streets of Kogi, Delta, Enugu, Borno, etc that do not have opportunities and that is what we need to worry about and not this chest beating nonsense that helps no one. Case in point Ojukwu though himself superior because of his Oxford degree (opportunity) but he ran away from battle at the heat of things only to return after pardon from grade II Shagari meanwhile Abacha, who is not academically smart is known for his fearlessness and bravery and will rather die in battle than run away. Conclusively, God gives people talent for one thing or the other we all need to harness our resources and make the best of it for the good of our country and not these empty boasts that will divide us and not unite us, and we grow together when we come together and work together as a force.

i am sowi ma post appears boastful,buh i was only referring to someone who referred to the Biafrans as illiterates. #peace.

erico2k2:
DOnt you see the people of the state dancing to political rallies?
Dont you see people who represent its people in the rally?
Plz toll a different line of argument, this one is xtreemly lame.

u don't mean it?! i have been held up in traffic for hours (and i was pressed so badly n needed d toilet),simply because a governer visited a place whereby one of d lanes was blocked. Biafra issue being irritating to some is not entirely as a result that they truly deserve the hate (even though as humans they have their flaws), but basically it comes as a sheer disdain for what they represent-the audacity to be free,or so they fathom.

Eledan:
Agitation fuel by hatred for the person of the President

and what is the etymology of that hatred,i mean how did it come about? We must understand that things don't just happen without a cause. only by understanding the foundation of an issue can be solved.

erico2k2:
You IPOB youths are trying very hard to lure the rest of the nation to think Rivers state is part of your struggle
On behalf or Rivers Bayelsa Delta state . We nor follow we are Niger Delta and we have our own struggle .
When the FG lay flat Ogoni Land and killed Ken sarowiwa . Rivers people did not go to Onitsha or Imo to protest .

On behalf of every good citizen of conscience in the Niger Delta,I say,Biafrans must be supported to achieve their desire,so long as it appeals to common sense...that indigenous people have right to self governance.

Sanchez01:
I was bout typing this when I saw your comment? Sadly, some of them chose to end their lives because they are not learned to know that A GOOD PROTEST MUST HAVE THE BACKING OF LAW. It's a pity though.

if any good protest must have the backing of law,then tell me which law is greater than the law that the whole world agreed to that backs indigenous people with the right to freedom, and self governance...###?

Eledan:
How many of those people you listed above and their children were at the rally today?
I will never pity anyone or group that will look for the flimsy excuses or reasons to cause public disturbance and constituting nisance to the public space.

it doesn't matter if the educated ones or their kids join them,what should be important for discourse is whether their agitation is right or wrong.

erico2k2:
They are all criminals . Bridging the peace of the land amount to criminality .is it safe to say all of them.where IGBOs ?

how abt d political rallies and campaigns or dat of governors visits that paralysis businesses and restricts movements,and those ones that results in violence by political thugs, how many of them have the military or police deemed fit to spray live bullets on? 2019 will come, and these same politicians will cause a lot of inconveniences on the masses with their political activities. i bet u, u won't see anything wrong with that,even church rallies cause temporary inconveniences when they are on d roads, but merely mention biafra,a peaceful protest at that, becomes offensive! When once biafra is mentioned,u guys start talking like nigeria was or would have been the best country in the world,n that biafra is an hindrance. smh.

Ioannes:
No. I know it is the south east where majority of the males are either illiterates or semi-illiterates and are prone to brainwashing especially when they are also jobless as evident in the pictures.
