Op may your days be long and blessings upon you for having the courage to speak the truth to your people. You truly love your people and you have their best interest at heart. Those ones making fun of IPad are slowly drowning the Yoruba race.

kingwiz:
nigeria were never great and can never be...not with ethnic differences with pipo that can neverrr be one

I wish I can hear from people that think that Nigeria used to be great. It's a common saying on nairaland.

cocoduck:
Nigeria will never be great especially not on the blood of Biafra or Biafra's grave. If Nigeria is to be great then she need to accept Biafra as a reality, not necessarily Biafra being an independent state, no that is not a must, but Nigerians must come to terms with Biafra, no matter how inconvenient it is, and sit and talk and negociate the new way foward. At least, true federal system is enough to send Nigeria sky high.

So do you believe that Nigeria was once great? If so, how and why?

This thread has turned to hit and run...lol

This is the common saying I hear all the time on nairaland. Please for those of us who weren't paying attention in Nigerian history class,

When was Nigeria ever great?

What years was this?

Who's presidency?

What exactly made it great then?

Finally what is your solution to make it great again?

Mafia449:
That is a stupid question to ask if you love nigeria

Loving a country is not by mouth but by actions.

What have you done for Nigeria to show your love for the country?

Also, what has Nigeria done for you to show it loves you?

Drchristian:
cowards of d nation keep celebrating while ur people are affected even more

Still not making sense. Who's the nation's coward?

lekjons:
rejoice?!.. op what're you smoking

Living in Denial won't help you.

Drchristian:
you should stop being coward s too

Cowardlol... explain how what I said makes me a coward.

2kaybiel:
but do they really rejoice when such incident happened??

I will give you the benefit of doubt. Maybe you just woke up from coma. But a simple research will give you the answer to your question. Start from searching nairaland.com.

2kaybiel:
OK. What should they do instead??

They should join to protect their rights to peaceful protests and condemn the killings. That's what good country men and women do for their fellow citizens.

The message is simple. Evil is Evil regardless of who is the victim.

johnmartus:
Never allow these miscreants ipob take my time

They already did. You spent the time to read and comment. Fool.

olu77:
Oh why are these guys polluting Niger Delta region all the time?

Stop pretending like you care about pollution in the Niger delta. You refuse to give them resource control that they have been asking for and went ahead to build Lagos and Abuja

People forget that Bihari was rejected 3 times until he was repackaged by tinibu and picked Yoruba candidate. All of a sudden he became agent of change...lol

Anyway my life is good, I am back in America enjoying my good job and good pay. Enjoy what you guys voted for.

I honestly sympathize for the middle belters as a fellow human being. Igbos have gone through 10x worse but honestly how can Gowon care more about the unity of Nigeria than he cares about the wholesale slaughter of his people by Fulani herdsman. The unity might make his people extinct in 25 years. But he has no comment? Something is very wrong. What type of charm did they use on him.

chriskosherbal:
I think he is entitled to his opinion.

Of course he is but it's quite shocking and revealing on his stance.

Gowon in 2014: "Blame Hoodlums, Not Fulani Herdsmen For Vicious Attacks, Says Gowon"


http://www.informationng.com/2014/04/blame-hoodlums-not-fulani-herdsmen-for-vicious-attacks-says-gowon.html

Can anybody kindly direct me to any comment or article where General Gowon condemned Fulani herdsmen attack on middle belters? I have been searching the Internet and I can't find any.

But I saw his condemnation of Nnamdi Kanu and his quick visit to anambra state few weeks after the Ipob protest started.

Fulani herdsmen attacks has been going on for over 15 years so there must be one. Please post it here.

kropotkin2:
Yeah right. A marathon that will last forever

Well, I am not a prophet so I cant foretell the future but I am a student of history. History serves me right when I say that people who persistently fight for their freedom always get it and those who don't remain in slavery.

DankemzI:
Quite true...
So sad my very own state Akwa Ibom betrayed Ojukwu because we were ignorant now the oil well is useless...
Lets go our separate ways

Oil might soon be used to flush toilet
The only thing binding this country is crude oil

Oga, Akwa ibom people never betrayed ojukwu. If anything, they were and still are Igbo people's strongest and natural ally. Akwa Ibom people are even better brothers to igbos than some Igbo clans in the Niger delta.

kropotkin2:
keep fooling yourself with this biafran delusion.
IPOB has been crushed and the terrorist nnamdi locked up in a cage like the animal he is. So tell me when will your biafra come to fruition?

My response to you is that the movement is not a race. It is a marathon.

The middle belters made up the bulk of Nigerian army during the Biafra war and slaughtered Igbos in the name of one Nigeria. What happened to their bravery? Why can't they defend themselves? Where is Gowon?

Real2020:
OP...I will tell you why and it will shock you. Let start from here...if yorubas want to secede today from Nigeria, they will get it. North, they will get it. Others, they will get it easily. But Igbos or any secession that involves the Igbos, will be resisted or bloody. The reason is the rulers of world have secret documents on the Igbos and their ability to rival whites, Japanese, e.t.c. They are the only Blacks in the history of humanity referred to as "great"....The great Igbo race! I'm not making this up, go and read Lord Luggard account to her majesty Queen Elizabeth.

I repeat if yorubas decide to secede today, they will get tomorrow. Why so easy? They are nobody. The world rulers don't see them as threat, meaning if you give them $900 billion, they won't be able to accomplish anything as expected of a typical black man. Not Igbo...give them $1000, they will be in space in 20yrs, with they bia bia flag mounted as a symbol of black greatness. Don't forget that Bia Bia flag is a symbol of black greatness...world leaders know all these!

The British created this Frankenstein monster called nigeria to handicap the potentials of the Blackman. It saddens me that educated folks know what the British have done to us yet they are willing to protect that evil legacy.

zendy:
How do you think that the northern oligarchy will ever give you true federalism? You mean they will grant you regional autonomy, 100% resource control, federal fiscal policy? Not in this life and the life to come. For the northerner, this almost the same as granting Biafra. It was Gowon and his northern cohorts decision not to honour the confederation they signed in Ghana that forced Ojukwu to declare Biafra. So my bother, anyone in southern Nigeria hoping for true federalism/Regionalsm had better forget it because that system does not favour the North.

Zendy, trust me when I say that I am not expecting them to do it. They Know the right thing to do to solve the IPOB issue but they wont do it. Thats why my conscience and sense of justice makes me support IPOB peaceful prostest. They might offer "true fedralism" as a last resort when the international community calls for a referendum.

crixtex:
First I m a deltan Igbo. My wife to be is a Yoruba lady. I support Biafra only if it will lead to d restructuring of Nigeria fraudulent systems especially dis insane QUOTA SYSTEM... I wish igbos never go, ds country has come a long way for it to b divided....

My brother I agree with you. I am an anioma man too. If nigeria want to crush IPOB forever, implement true fedralism with 100% resource control. IPOB will die overnight if that happens but if Nigerians continue to resist with force, their supporters will keep growing in number. And by the time Nigerian government tries to fix things, it might be too late.

babyfaceafrica:
Is there a difference?...No.......they are both miscreants

You must Have hate induced blindness to make such an ignorant comment.

crixtex:
looolsssssssss ...
OP, Nigerians or Yorubas .. Na joke o..
However blood is thicker and stronger than water..... Yorubas and Igbos are more of brothers who kip deceiving deir selves.. buh if biafra comes.. do u want us to miss ds things..
1. Igbo soup... ( unless u want us to starve and depend on ewedu, gbegiri or black soup)
2. Igbo gurls
3.Okrika wey gurls dey use form
4. Spare parts for my small porshe car...

Seriously though Nigerians hate the truth.. dey know d igbos hold a very strong foothold in this country.. hence dey will fite not to allow igbos leaves... so pele...

But thats not true that Biafra will take away those things you listed. Igbos are very adventurous and business minded and will still do business with Nigerians. Also,Nothing stops you from marrying an Igbo/biafran woman if you guys are in love regardless of the politics.
