TripleOh7:
The late sage, chief Obafemi Awolowo cautioned Ojukwu and counseled him to seek the path of dialogue instead of war.

He and his people were labeled cowards.

In retrospect, was war the best available means for secession at that time?

Having the benefit of hindsight today, I guess we can say that Awolowo was right and Ojukwu was wrong.

What an elder sees while sitting, a small child can't see even if he is at the top of a skyscraper.

'nuff said.

the system awolowo fought for still frustrated him out of office,into jail and out of life.
Where is his hindsight?
It's disheartening that the price of awolowo is a mere FINANCE MINISTER.

Now let's have a decent debate of how those countries are better than Nigeria if you win I will never quote you again
I dear you

starting with Rwanda,they have been highly innovative in science and technology since their new president,with strong sense of nationhood unlike Nigeria where buhari favor fulani from Chad and Niger than hausa from daura.
Ethiopia and Ghana.
Even ordinary Chad taught us how to make Boko cry.
See my guy,there is nothing to debate about Nigeria other than that Nigeria has a lot of crude oil to sell and a gigantic big for nothing touts called military to keep the citizens down.
The more I type the I get annoyed, Africa have left Nigeria behind.
Kenya is London where Nigeria is.
When rwanda and Madagascar are pursuing scientific innovation,Nigeria is pursuing ruga.
Please there is nothing to debate about Nigeria.

spendoon:
Dude how did you even get this shitty theories from

Dude,how come you don't know these glaring facts?
Oh,you are one of those who intentionally delude themselves of how their shame of a country is giant slowpoke of Africa.

Shukusheka:
Do you know the metrics used in deciding standard of living?

by Western metrics?
Our ancestors lived happy without any westerners measuring their quality of life for them.
You talk of security as if a crazy youth won't wake up one day and decide to practice Rambo with his fellow students.
Those countries ain't better than us.

Shukusheka:
What's the point of earning 400k with a poor standard of living, living a frustrated live from everyday. Security zero, infrastructure zero, healthcare zero, peace of mind zero, corruption 100%. People will stay if there is hope the country will be great, at least the country should show us the minutest of hope or sign that her citizens will benefit anything tangible from it. Nigeria was created from inception to frustrate Nigerians, nothing works here.

Except you are into politics or you managed to climb your way into real wealth in this country, if you have the opportunity, you'd best japa from this shithole of a country.

is the standard of living in Canada better?
You think it's by eating junks in Canada?
Or drinking chemical water?
Apart from the dollars,the west is shit

sexylassie2:
This is simple.

If you are living a descent life in your country, why go to Canada to start afresh and be low class.

Why leave your 400k job in Nigeria to go start afresh in Canada, then you start complaining and suffering from low self esteem when you don't make it.

This scam of Nigerian hustling spirit, don't fall for that scam, there are laws and conditions in that place that will depress and supress your so called Nigerian hustling spirit.

some guys think you can hustle by setting up backyard pure water business in Canada or anywhere in the West.
If you ain't a protege of a politician or a wealthy person,you are a cooperate slave aka factory worker in Canada.
If you get your ass together in Nigeria,you will soon find happiness

May God have mercy on Nigeria . See what the Allied forces used to land in Normandy during ww2,Nigeria is jst boasting of two.

the D Day landing at Normandy.
I love military history

Audio gun boat, they should use it to confront Somalian Pirates and let's see if it won't be at bottom of the ocean

guy these Somalia pirates seem to be something else

ForeverFinesse:
The north is the greatest enemy of this country

a region that RIOTED WHEN Anthony Enahoro moved motion for Independence.
The real enemies of Nigeria.
Tell me how Nigeria will progress when the north that rules will rather see a Nigerian and Chad person as his brothers rather than southern Nigerians as his brothers

Makanakico:
Abacha never intended to use the stashed monies personally, he was advised to stash enormous cash in different central banks of the world to alleviate the effect of looming US sanctions; the US wanted to sanction Nigeria because Abacha wanted to form an alliance to form an African unified currency.
So Abacha should rather be praised because he meant well for Nigeria.
But baby-factory-land people will be here to spill non sense.

Argue with your phone.

you are one of the experts in polishing of pebbles and darkening of diamonds.
Abacha is far from a nationalist,if he were a nationalist,he wouldn't have denied mko his mandate,he wouldn't have killed Saro wiwa.
The nonsense we are hearing now is that abacha is saving money for Nigeria!!!!
Under what account no and name,is Nigeria the SIGNATORY TO THE ACCOUNTS?
SHAMELESS LIARS

Mazigabriel:
Yes I know that, the are more focused in the middle East than Africa right from ancient times, I wonder how the where made as part of Africa

the black Africa is the numero uno enemy of both Europe and Asia.
Europe can control Arabs forget all their Arab terrorism, Europe still run the show there.
The west creates the map as it suits them.

Bay1o:
See your life you sure say u be Nigerian

you must be from the tribe that doesn't like the truth.
The Asante man has more spirit of African nationalism than any mofo from the nigger area.
When nkrumah got Independence from the British,the hausafulani are still rioting against Independence.
Should I be proud of such i.diots?
Come on , honor the Asante man.

IAMabayo:
Your talking rubbish, what are you saying self.
How is Nigeria created to distract Africa?.

Nigeria was created for two reasons by the Brits
First reason is economic.
Second reason is to control Africa
The second reason is why Nigeria seem to be sending troops in the name of peace making.
What is our reason and interest as a nation for involving in Congo?
The young soldiers in Congo saw that the Belgium government imposed a puppet on the Congolese and as Patriotic soldiers fired by the still lively flame of Independence,they ousted the Belgian puppet,what happened next?
NIGERIA the big slave of west Africa frontier force led aggression against the Congolese.
Imagine the arrogance.
We love Congo more than the Congolese.
Today Congo is still under the shackles of Belgium courtesy of the big slave in the farm, Nigeria.
Some years later, somewhere in Liberia,some liberians would rebel against a pro American government where Dupont is feasting on Liberia's rubber which is their main source of income,as usual the big slave will go to Liberia, impregnate as many women as possible, smuggle guns and come back.
The silly country have fought many wars including the two world wars BUT NONE OF WHICH WAS OF ANY INTEREST TO NIGERIA.
Nigeria fought and is still fightingfor the British and the colonialists that divided Africa.
You can chose to believe your country great,you can decide to look at reality.
Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana etc can lead Africa.

Mazigabriel:
despite this Egypt is still the most powerful in Africa, it's just that the focus more of their influence in the middle East than Africa

present Egyptians are mere Arabs sitting upon a culture and heritage far greater than they can imagine.
Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, were hamitic civilizations but little by little Arabic militant expansionism racially cleansed those places of black people as they intend to do in benue.
EGYPT CANT LEAD THE BLACK RACE,THEY ARE EVEN MORE ALIGNED TO THE MIDDLEEAST.

Racoon:
To thinks that Ken Saro-Wiwa had a cordial relationship with the late Gen.Sanni Abacha when he was a younger officer back then in PH yet was killed under the govt of same was an irony.Anyway dictators are like that-you dont matter when their ego is threatened.

shell wanted Saro dead,abacha and all the northern baby generals apart from murtala and shehu Yar adua were simply British puppets starting from Union Jack Gowon to the new buhari,the old buhari was stubborn to the British.
Abacha killed Saro on behalf of shell bp.

The collabo of Anglo American imperialists later killed abacha,mko,fela, paving way for the new mo.rons

chrisagyei:
Oh my beloved Ghana, The Black Star and Gateway of Africa. A country of 29 million people rated 3rd most powerful country in Africa and 54th in the world. Ghana brands itself as the Beacon of hope for Africa. The torchbearer of democracy, peace and security, fastest growing economy, home of entertainment and events in Africa, home of the Black Diaspora.

Nkrumah's Ghana where "Freedom and Justice" is our motto.Indeed,God bless our homeland Ghana. And make her Great and Strong. And Help us to resist Oppressors rule with all our will and might forever more(Extract of Ghana's anthem)Now let the Black Star of hope and honour shine brighter than darkness itself and let the whole world know that the Black Man is capable of managing his own Affairs (Dr.Kwame Nkrumah)

as a Nigerian,I believe more in Ghana to lead Africa,the Ghanaians shouldn't let big for nothing chief slave of the west in Africa called Nigeria distract them.
From time immemorial,the Asante man fought the British with pride,king mprempeh and co.
Nigeria was created to distract Africa, Ghana should lead while biafra is in process

afstrongest:
Nuclear weapons aside; North Korea operates old and obsolete weapons, Egypt operates American grade weapons system

America just named their Allies.
Nonsense post.
China is most powerful self

afstrongest:
This thread is nonsense, now patriotism apart! Nigeria is the Economic, Political and Population powerhouse as well as The Largest Consumer Market, Africa’s first Trillion dollar Economy, with a G.D.P, the size of the next two economies combine, now! Egypt might be on the most powerful country list not because of any other thing but solely cos of it’s Military power that’s basically all of it, Egypt gets 2 billion dollar in military aid from the United States now you see where it’s military prowess is coming from, now lest not forget that Nigeria has always place is foreign policy on Africa not the whole world therefore making Nigeria arguably the Giant of Africa, the representative of the bLacknation and arguably Sub-Saharan Africa power house, when you talk of powerful do you know Lagos if name a country would be the 5 largest economy in Africa, potentially the 3rd in coming years... no doubt Egypt is Africa’s Military power house, but this won’t make up with out having money or political strongholds, besides Egypt most time associates it self with the south East Asians with the likes of Syria, Saudi and all.. making all other norther Africans in the same thing! Nigeria is the representative of the black race and Africa as a whole, we all know the west doesn’t wish Nigeria well and all other agencies collating and predicting, either they say bad things about Nigeria portraying us as a bad nation other than showing our good side! Forget the List! Nigeria is Africa’s only Hope to being a super power if it’s plays it card right! Peace

rather Nigeria is the albatross hovering over Africa,Nigeria had no foreign policy in Africa rather Nigeria is the number one house niggar in Africa maintaining the Berlin conference border.
Nigeria provides the British and the West footsoldiers to enforce strict compliance with the boundaries of Berlin conference as Nigeria did in Congo on behalf of Belgium,in Sierra Leone on behalf of usa,in Liberia on behalf of USA.
From criminal involvement in Congo, Liberia, Sierra Leone to imbecillic silence while Libya was ravaged.
Ghana will do better in leading Africa to greatness or even rwanda.
slowpoke giant of Africa

lies !!!

if my girlfriend visit and we don't have sex,she will be angry
Last week I was fasting she told me she is missing me and is feeling Hot,I told her am praying,she said it's no need coming since we are not going to have sex.
Now she will come on Sunday because I have finished my fasting,but I will surprise her,I will want full discussion on Sunday,she will get annoyed and go home when it starts getting late

You made two big mistakes, Dantata was rich yes, but he was never the richest Nigerian as at then, his wealth was just exegerated without any verifiable figures to back it up, the richest Nigerian then with verifiable proofs and figures to back it up was Sir Luis Ojukwu, the father of late Ikemba Odimegwu Ojukwu.


You can Google it and read from British sources who knew the true worth of Nigerians as at then. I know many Nigerians don't want to believe that an Igbo man was once the richest man, but you cannot change the past. Back then, Igbos ruled Nigeria in all sectors which made them the envy of other tribes, it was the January 1966 coup and the civil war that destroyed all that igbos built, they had to start afresh after the war in 1970. That Nigeria-Biafra civil war was a very big loss for the Igbos, without that war, you can only imagine what the Igbos would have been today.


That said, your next big mistake or lie is calling Aliko Dangote the son of Dantata.....Dangote is Dantata's grandson not his son.


And if that is Dangote's residential house despite his billions, that means he is living a modest life, I love that cos I expected something more exquisite than that

Dantata and his boys were washing counterfeit money back then in Kano,my uncle who was living in ambassador's quarters in those days had his wife and my mother who happens to be their house help always going into their compound,they do offer my mum and her madam the money self.
No northerner ever made it legit,they can't compete,they must steal from Nigeria to be rich

Burnaboy!do you Know that you are not worthy to polish tubaba shoes?
When I tell people that Indian hemp is not good for their brain,it will seem as if am harsh.
But I know that many people are on this table but anyway I shake table for hobby

Bigflamie:
Akunnaya aka Cubana chiefpriest need to always mind his fvcking business. His busy body right from time is now getting out of hand.

cubana is right,who burna boy help?
Because he is plagiarising fela's style?
Cubana concluded his advice with a strong statement that burnaboy must reflect on.
You don't sing your own praises, leave that to the fans and posterity.
Fela never told us how great he was,but we knew fela is a god among men.
Cubana said that davido have transformed ikotunboys to lekki boys,if it's true,burna boy should get lost.

I don't think it's heaven

but it supports agelessness

illicit:
Yes o. Well said.

That's a young girl with vision unlike in Nigeria where the labour of our heroes past has become our problem

ojukwu was a hero to igbos,Saro wiwa a hero to ogonis,adaka boro a hero to ijaws, awolowo a hero to yorubas,armadu Bello a hero to hausafulani.
Zik, Anthony Enahoro, Herbert maucaulay are the only Nigeria heroes but Nigerians prefer local warlords to national heroes

Seerade029:
Lol, I studied finance in UNN.

I stayed 7 years in the east.
I'm not the type that sit my house down and without engaging in anything.

From Enugu, I go to Owerri.
All I see is Clubs, Hotels etc.

when you are in owerri what you will encounter is students and nightlife,you will be wrong to use it to generalise about the southeast.
When you are in anambra, what you will see is business and hustles,it will be wrong to use anambra to generalise.
When you are in enugu,you will see a mix of business and nightlife ,you can't use it to generalise.
Ebonyi is something else.
Abia is more of indigenous industry,artisans,fabricators with little or no time for nightlife or pleasure.
YOUR SEVEN YEARS IN THE EAST DIDN'T FURNISH YOU WITH ENOUGH TO KNOW THE IGBOS

Seerade029:
Nnewi, Onisha and awka are not the only town in Anambra

maybe you want to buy in nteje or awkuzu to

Seerade029:
Keep shut or they don't sell it for outsiders.

go and price land in onitsha or nnewi first.
For igbos everything is first economic before anything especially in anambra,if dangote can pay better than ifeanyi uba for saint mark in uruagu nnewi,dangote will have the land ahead of ifeanyi uba.
You don't know anything about igbos and igboland.
All what you believe and profess is based on hearsay.
