If those things you mention are the Fed presence that brings industrialization then you are a quota system graduate....clap for yourself...lunatics everywhere but we must continue

I'm sure when you wake up and look around you, what you see are lunatics. Now, I don't know where exactly you are, But a Good Guess would be Yaba left.

Mumu. What else do you mean by federal government presence?

Factories?

Besides, isn't the east connected to the electricity grid of the nation? Arindin.

All these indomie children playing with their parents phone

How about you concentrate on your home work and return that phone to your mommy?

shallysgirl:
What's the meaning of this? If can't understand what this thread is about go and rest.
Igbo muslim are a small number and it's being made clear for people like you.

We are saying the same thing. Their number is small, so they won't be reckoned with, right?
We are beginning to see How minorities will be treated when Biafra is actualized.

Niger deltans, take note.

shallysgirl:
I am talking about numbers. They are a very small number.

So their votes won't count in the new Biafra?

shallysgirl:
If you read me right, this is a clarification thread. I agree there are Igbos muslims but a small number.
Am sure there are Igbo muslims in the south east though I have never seen any there, I created this thread because some persons keep talking about igbo and ebonyi muslims.
If things are not clarified, they may be regarded as the real story.

You are contradicting yourself dear. You say there are Igbo Moslems and yet say that "If things are not clarified, they May be regarded as the real story".

Am I missing something?

todaynewsreview:
State your reason(s) too please. Thanks.

I'll o y give you one reason.

He is culpable in rigging the election that made him governor of Ekiti state.

We have him on tape. Hopefully he'll be arrested when his tenure ends.

The only reason I'm scared that people will actually vote for the fool is that, Jonathan once was the president too.

staytravel:
There are Igbo Muslims like there are Hausa Christians.
Most are probably converts or live on the boarder or within Northern/Muslim states.
I think there are more people who practice traditional religions than Islam but I'm not sure.
If Biafra existed why people should be able to practice what they want to. However, in order to progress together we must value our Igbo identity over any religion. If not, there will be conflict.

Well said.

Shortyy:
The one you have as a president now is he better?

Hmmm... short, How would you feel If you see your president in a train terminus in China taking argued of himself on a podium in an empty hallway?

How would you feel like seeing your president frying akara by the side of the road?

Some things are better imagined than experienced.

And really, I'm yet to understand the obsession of Igbos with failed Yoruba politicians?

Trust me, If Fayose truly runs in the next election, he's gon fail woefully in the southwest where he hails from.

That's an indication of something.

shallysgirl:
Where are they na? We that are Igbos we don't know or see them, it is you yoruba muslims on nairaland that always help us to see them.
Have you ever met or seen an igbo muslim physically?

Yes, I have met Igbo Moslems alright, Besides, what are you gon do If there are Igbo Moslems in your Biafra? Kill them?

vicadex07:
They're simply greedy. Any Igbo person who is not born greedy and spiteful should question his or her paternity cos its ingrained in their DNA

Walahi!

chernest2002:
but you are happy having a sickler that can't even confront a rat in asorock.

Lemme Guess, you're Igbo?

People, Please, we can't have this man as our president. Pleeeassseeee.... I'm begging y'all... *sob *sob *sob...

50 years old and yet No sense.

OjukwuWarBird:
Absence of federal presence in the region especially in key infrastructures like functional seaports that will help the people to reduce importation through Lagos ports

Which south east border is adjacent to the sea?

Absence of federal presence?

Does each of the state capitals in the east have federal Secretariat or not?

Are there senatorial districts in the east or not?

Do federal roads pass through the south east or not?

Is the entire south east on the power grid of Nigeria or not?

Are there military barracks in the south east it not?

Are there federal universities in the south east or not?

Which other federal presence are you looking for?

You want Nigeria to relocate the FCT to Enugu or Abia before you quit screaming marginalization abi?

shallysgirl:
This thread is for every Nigerian.
We keep reading people write things like Ebonyi Muslim this, Ebonyi muslim that, igbo muslim bla blah blah.
We need to clarify this Igbo and Ebonyi muslim story once and for all.
I am Igbo, I finished school more than 15years ago, so you can guess my age.
In my whole life, I have only met one igbo muslim and that was when I served in the north. Before then I didn't even know there were Igbos that were muslims so i found it difficult to believe at first but I was later convinced by his colleagues. The guy was the president of his faculty's muslim students association.
I read about them though,but I never see or meet them,even on TV.
I have also heard one or two Igbos who also have Islamic name,like Mustapha Chike-Obi who isn't even a muslim, I saw one on TV last week Dumebi Abubakar who was on the cast of a movie, and during my national service there was also this Igbo lady married to northern muslim,but she wasn't a muslim.
After I met the igbo muslim during service, I made enquiries and found out there is a large family in Enugu Abdullahaziz Udeh family who are predominantly muslims. Coincidentally,the Igbo muslim guy I met is also from Enugu state too.
This past week, I have been asking Igbos around me(some of them older than I am) if they have ever physically met an igbo muslim, and none has ever met or seen one physically. They have also heard about them but never met them physically.
I am not saying there are no igbo muslims but I think they are just a small number of them.
This is not a hate thread or a bigotry thread, but a thread to clarify.
My question is where are these Igbo and Ebonyi muslims hiding?
Have you ever met an igbo muslim physically before?

That you haven't met a large number of Igbo Moslems doesn't mean there isn't a large number of Igbo Moslems.

Boy u are just another yoruba extreemist. Your argument reeks of low class, while filled with yoruba supremacist nonsense. Enugu still looks like shit and i have never been anywhere else? Boy I have been living abroad since last yr working as a TOP engineer.

Lool. You're simply hilarious. First, I don't give a sh1t about race or tribe. But since you guys have decided to to be stupidly ethnocentric, I thought I'd make you see the errors of your ways. I gave you examples of what is considered when you're talking about indices of growth and development, you're talking of Kia police patrol car and streetlight. Iranu. Like I said, I doubt very much If you're ever left your village. Yes, Enugu for the most part looks like sh1t, so also most cities in every geopolitical region of Nigeria. Jump in a well If you don't agree. Ya wahala.

I voted ur Buhari... check my 2015 posts. But unlike u... i dont dwell in my stupidity for long.
I dont want to engage u anymore because ur reasonning here is the reasonning of a typical yoruba bigot... which i hate with passion. I was arguing with one deji b4.... he seems more mature and makes better contributions than the silly postulations u write.

Sorry to inform you, But you're still dwelling in your stupidity. You allegedly voted for Buhari, yet you're asking me silly question that why did Yorubas vote for Buhari? Where's the sense in that?

Fyi the Enugu international airport was abandonned by buhari admin and has not opened for business. What pple see is the local wing which had its runway extended to serve international flights until the international wing is finished.

You haven't refuted the fact that the airport becomes a seaport whenever it rains and the runway is so poorly made pilots are reluctant to land there. What do you know? The edifice your sister gave you is an embarrassment to the nation.

Bye babaa u no get talk. But dont worry two bigots like u liked ur nonsense. Rejoice.

Yeah, byebye indeed. You can come back when You've grown up and learnt to make sensible contributions to discussions. You've got No point. Oshi.

eduj:
you just sounded like some of the peeps on radio biafra

And How do they sound like?

[quote author=Bede2u post=60749330]#sigh. Lemme dumb this down a lil bit for you. Lengthy arguments bore me.

lol my arguement seemed weak even to me until i read urs. Yours is BASELESS.
Many reputable organizations put lagos as one of the worst cities in the world. Abidjan has never made such a list. Abidjan and lagos are both considered as 'beta cities'. Ok polio exists in 2 other countries (good partners we keep)

Lagos is one of the worst cities in the world, yet your people won't stop emigrating there on a daily basis, thinking the roads are paved in gold.

Nigeria is one big state where the 36 states are infact like local govts and whr the center calls the short. The of that center is the president or head of state. Him, only him and no one else calls the short. In nigeria's 57 yrs igbos only ruled for 6 months (Aguiyi) as executive head of state. The rest igbos u named in ur silly write up are pple who must do as they are told... they dont count.

Did you just type that? Unbelievably naive. To say that the post of the Senate President in Nigeria is inconsequential is to display crass ignorance about the workings of the Nigerian political space. Imagine! The Senate president doesn't count! Smh.

I've shown you that Igbos have been part of the various governments in the past that ran this nation aground and all you can say is their offices didn't count? You think it's for nothing that Saraki wanted to kill himself in a bid to become Senate president?

For the sake of my education pls list igbo millitary guys who served as Admins in non-igbo states.

Do you know How to use Google? Besides what does this matter? We've been under civilian rule for 17years now, How had your states fared under Igbo governors?

Until Sullivan came unboard, Enugu (my state) looked like shi.t. Today u can see neat state roads, well marked with zebra crossings and lanes, street lights, night life, Ethiopian airline working as internl airline, police cars using neat kia patrol cars, improved security in Enugu, many new road built in the villages making some village look like GRA. Enugu is yrs ahead whr it was in 1999 today, ask any Enugu guy. Until u can prove with evidence that all he did were crumbs, its just another silly nonsense from u.

Lol. My dear, your state Enugu still looks like sh1t. I understand that that is all You've ever known and You've never been outside your state so you would think it's developing. You talk of streetlights, roads with zebra crossings with lanes, night life, Kia police patrol cars etc.

Do you know the indices of development? Does your house have potable water? Healthcare nko? Access to other social amenities like electricity? Good education, housing for all, etc?

How's your state's public transport system like? Any subway or metro line?

Like I said, crumbs of a crumb's crumb. Go figure!

I didnt vote for gej, i voted buhari

Any proof of this?

however Putting igbos in power and position is actually a good thing. Ppl see soludo and ngozi okonjo iweala as presidential materials cos they were giving opportunity to serve in fg.

Really? How has this helped developed the south east region?

Why did u guys vote buhari?

Because Jonathan was super corrupt. Duh!

Cos nothing from his past showed he was pro-yoruba.

do you know who his deputy was? Besides such emotional and sentimental reasoning doesn't wash with us Yorubas. We depend more on critical thinking. Seeing instead what is best for Nigeria.

Many of u did for 2 reasons- cos he was supported by tinubu who y'all see as ur leader and because u feel u were under-represented in gej govt.

Was this what they told you in the south east?
That's a miss.

Putting igbo politicians in power empowers them and they in turn use it to empower their kins men. I knw many pple who entered road safety easily under chidoka. I ate ekweremadu's scholarship. My friend (now late) got a job in ministry of pwer under nebo after our nysc with nebos help. Gv me that any day.

How is that development? You use your connections to get jobs. In developed societies, you get jobs based on your ability and skill. Consider the numbering people who benefited the way you did with the entire population of Igbos.
Jonathan gave out key and sensitive posts in his government to Igbos, yet...
Case in point, Stella Isiah was minister of Aviation. She built an "international "airport in Enugu which is more of an embarrassment to the nation than an asset. The flood that occurs in that airport during rainy season is only rivaled by the flood of Noah's time.

2nd niger bridge is not the only infrastructure igbos need.

It was what he promised you during his first campaign yet failed to deliver, yet came back to promise the same thing during his second campaign and you still fell for it.

We need an international airport.

Oh, you got one Alright. Convertible. Converts to seaport during heavy rains.

Why do we complain? Cos more needs to be done. Our state govs are trying but even there, more needs to be done. Our states always collected fg's allocation as and when due... dont knw why u will make dat dumb assertion.

Buhari sending millitary men in a non-combatant zone to kill an unarmed man (and his fellowers) whose case was already in court... a man who has shown he would keep his date in court is good? You are as silly as u are sick. Protests are now insurgency? U see y we cant live in the same country? U all reason like fools.... no wonder kanu called this country a zoo. In reasonable countries u dont send the millitary to do police job. Buhari's nigeria is fast turning into an unreasonable dictatorship.

Seems your brain has gone on sabbatical leave. Stupid man was forming his own army, so the FG should wait until violence occurs?

Bros just dash your younger brother that your phone instead of typing rubbish online. Were you deaf when he was asking you and your brothers to kill Yorubas and Hausas? How about when he was calling for arms and threatening that the zoo will burn down, was your brain atrophied at that moment?

Guy shift. When next the python wants to dance, come out and dance with it. I'll be reading it here on Nairaland.

Is that reporter Alright at all?

He's written nonsense.

Biafra will be very viable. The people are very hardworking and they are technologically sound. They almost defeated Nigeria in the civil war with their technology, If only America and Britain did not interfere.

Do you know that Igbos are very enterprising and they are politically matured?

I pray they get a referendum. I Hope I'll have the opportunity to vote. They definitely have my vote, No questions asked.

I support the realization of the sovereign state they are clamoring for. And I believe that within a very short time, it will become a Utopian nation. A nation that will rival countries like the U.S.and other developed countries.

The Igbos really need to go, so that they can become the beacon of light and Hope for Africa and the world.

They need to leave now!

[quote author=Bede2u post=60739614]Oga, this your argument get k-leg and cross-eye join.
It wasn't my intention to enter this discussion, But the points you made had me holding my breath for the youths of this country. Here Let me counter you;

so why has nigeria not prospered?

Last I checked Igbos are also part of the current government. True or false. If non diversity is required for development, then why is the U.S developed and Igboland undeveloped, after all all your governors since the return of Democracy have been Igbos and they've been collection FG allocation.

Only country in the world where polio still exists. Abidjan in ivory coast looks like new york when compared to Lagos.

Blatant lie.

Cattle rearers still move around with cattle even in downtown Abuja where many foreigners live and work. Electricity is as bad as the worst in Africa.. to the sad extent that cameroon gets more electricity than us, yet we are the largest producer of oil and gas in Africa. NNPC is basically an oil-importing firm. We sell crude and import refined produce cos we have no refineries. Where has Nigeria excelled? And who is the cause? Certainly not Igbos... there has neva been an igbo president.

Smh. You probably skipped history class. First president of Nigeria after independence = Nnamdi Azikiwe. Alex Ekwueme= Ex vice president of Nigeria. Aguiyi Ironsi= former military head of state.

So ask me again, who is the cause?

Nwafor Orizu = former Senate president
Evans Enwerem = former Senate president
Chuba Okadigbo (late)= former Senate president
Anyim Pius Anyim= former Senate president
Ken Nnamani= former Senate president
Ike Ekweremadu= current deputy Senate president.

So tell me, are these men Igbo or Brazilians? Or maybe Americans? Lemme Guess, they are Yoruba. #Smh.

Our governors are busy building state infrastructure that were neglected by non-igbo millitary sole admins that ruled SE during millitary era... why cant fg build federal infrastructure neglected during same era?

I'm sure there were Igbo military administrators in other non Igbo states at that time. How many infrastructure did they build?
Besides, your governors aren't doing sh1t. Whatever little you're getting from them, be sure that it's crumbs of a crumb's crumb. You're naive (No offence)

As for voting GEJ, igbos believed that their interests were more protected in Gej than buhari. Its not an unreasonable believe as we can now clearly see by buhari's actions against us. Igbos believed that a 2nd geh term would see SE get many fg projects. Dnt blame dem for voting gej cos u voted buhari.. their fears were relevant

Of all the paragraphs You've written, this qualifies as the dumbest.(No offence)

Can you actually point to that interests of the Igbos that Jonathan protected?

The second Nigeria bridge he promised you was only built in your collective pipe-dreams.

You could actually accuse past military heads of state of not building any infrastructure for you yet in the same post praise Jonathan for doing nothing for you despite having held office for 6years.

If Igbos believed like You've written that Jonathan would look your way during his second tenure, then you guys have the mental coordination of a 6-year-old (No offence). In other words, you're unbearably naive.

All the mofo did for you was to put some Igbos sons and daughters, like one billionth of the entire Igbo populace in position of power to suck and milk the nation dry for THEIR OWN PERSONAL gain, otherwise why are you still moaning about underdevelopment in your region.

That you can't see this worries me.

BTW, what is Buhari's actions against you?

Your states collect FG allocations as at when due (more than what we can say about Jonathan's tenure). Whose fault is it If your governors and leaders don't know what to do with it.

He's quashing insurgency instead of leaving y'all to kill yourselves. (I'm sure you're not aware of what is called "mob mentality".
