Ohk I get u now bro..The people of dat region will build the second naija bridge by demselvez and dredge river naija with there money,after that build a port by demselvez Then make laws dat will divert containers from other ports to dere own port.Ohk
The people will build airports,construct federal roads,fight erosion and bring federal attention to there region?Ohk sir I understand wot u are saying.

lol bro stop being sarcastic. how can there be development in a region where there is talk of secession and non support for the government or Nigeria as a whole we have to decide what we want before we demand for what we want.

SIRmanjar:
Don't use the word you cos am not ibo sir ..The solution to dere problem is simple ad plane and dat iz DEVELOPMENT.

that's a nice contribution but government can't do that so it's the people that are supposed to do it for them selves

pchukwudi:
You should be lerning now.

Stop trying to offer resolute opinions on these issues.

You simply still have a lot to learn about your history and how the world around you works.

You may share your opinion though within your inner circle.

But don't come to nairaland and create a thread to pose as if you knew all sides of what you are saying. Your nairaland public opinion at this level is doing more harm than good.

A man is entitled to his opinion and there is s thing called freedom of speech if you don't have any solution to profer don't stop others from doing so . Again there is a reason why it is called O.P

pchukwudi:
You are simply showing your rootlessness.

I advice you to go and read/listen to the book "how to think like a freak" epecially the portion that seeks to explain why there is so much war in Africa. That book was written by non-Africans. You would also do well to read the latest press release from Thereasa May on the12 point plan for the post brexit Britain. And while you are at it, try to comb Nairaland for Ojukwu's personal stand on Biafra before you come here to spew your ignorance.

But from every indication, you are not an Igbo person. Or you are one born in lagos or elsewhere (outside igboland) some twenty something years ago or less.

Honestly sir one would think that with your age and experience coupled with the fact that you are a veteran on nairaland you should know better than attacking the messenger instead of the message. this is my own school of thought as twenty-something year old so why don't you put yours out and let's see which is adoptable the fact that someone thinks differently from you doesn't make that person an outsider. No one had monopoly of knowledge.

SIRmanjar:
My frend u said dat if ibos go de south south will remain behind becos dey know that dey will fight anoder civil war with de ibos..If ibos leave nigeria we yorubaz will follow talkless of a south southerner..Stay behind and do what in Nigeria?worship de born to rule Hausa fulani gods abi?

Why should dey forget de civil war when we still do things dat caused de civil war..We jealous ad envy dem,we destroy dere shops and laugh at dem,we hate dem,we purposely underdevelop dere land and kill dem upnorth at de slightest provocation.

The only tin we owe dem is development and I am not talking of building one bridge for dem..They need massive development,just develop dere region ad watch the way dere briafrian agitation die down.
U shuld spend ur time talking about solutions to dere problems not talking of d problem at hand.

Why don't you present a solution that doesn't involve you living Nigeria

GuyWise:
We know those that are behind these write ups, they are not hausas or fulanis but our very own southerner's who have sworn to bring us down in every aspects of life but God pass them.

lol am a south easterner just happen to think outside the box I would welcome a logical argument if you can put up one

In recent times, there has been a call for secession by IPOB. But this has been resisted by Nigeria and has also produced bloody protest. There is a saying that "give the dog a bad name and hang him" since it is perceived that all members of IPOB are south easterners there has been some form of renewed hatred towards the south easterners or anyone sharing an opinion similar to theirs or sympathetic to the Igbo's.



While I share the same school of thought with General Gowon that Igbo's have been wronged, I don't believe in the secessionist idea and here is why


1) Nnamdi Azikiwe was a founding father of Nigeria and therefore it means we have a birthright as one of the first tribes in Nigeria and we can be better in Nigeria if only we exploit this opportunity or privilege through the right channel. And believe me if we continue in this part of downward spiral in no time the ijaws would over take us and make no mistake of thinking they are with us.

2)Since the war ended for more than 45 years we have been dwelling on biafra but the truth is we are just in a merry go round without a meaningful progress. Can u imagine someone called to negotiate biafran secession ripping people off by printing biafran passports and selling it to illiterate and the gullible. This shows that the fight for their belly not their country. Even Ojukwu couldn't continue the fight he created a party in Nigeria and contested for presidency cos he understood that the concept of Biafra was dead


3)Southeast is landlocked and an igbos are business people mainly involved in importation how would you transport your goods or import them . I purposely refused to include south South state in Biafra cos its obvious they won't secede reason being that they know they will fight another civil war with Igbo's only to breakout let us .

4) marginalization: Our we marginalizing ourselves out of Nigeria or are the Yoruba's marginalizing us or is it the Hausa's nepotism? one irrefutable fact is that Nigeria has diverse ethnic group and they will always favor their own so how then do we survive ? Go to the ants and learn its ways simple. what makes Hausa's or Yoruba more successful in Nigeria is Unity. But southeast are too divided to even take a unanimous decision regardless of our party we would rather be servants to money and closed minded due our ethno-religious believe. its time for us to wake up and realise that the devil you know is better than the angel you don't . Everyone is using Biafra as an excuse for their failure let me remind you that upon secession the rich will still be the rich and the poor the poor which will lead to another chain of excuses.

4) Hausa's have the population and politicians, Yoruba's have the scholars, Igbo's have the businessmen and also we have money .Igbos are naturally adventurous so imagine if we used our resources for technological advancement higher than the government level and give our research scientists the required help to make make giant strides in in technology rather than spending those capital in the Diaspora we would make ourselves needed and useful and of course other tribes would run to us for help . When I look at the the kind of innovation that took place during the biafran war I wonder how has the mighty fallen. we can be the tech giants of Africa only if we can spend more on our people reminds of Nazi and Hitler and how he grew with the help of scientist.




in conclusion Igbo's have never been good politians because of their plain and emotional ideologies its left for us to unite and show we are bosses where it matters most technology cause that determines who is who in this century and not who is in power this is why I say that we are the hope of Nigeria and some may envy us for our ability to thrive independently. On the other hand in politics irrespective of our party always fight for the furtherance of Igbo and south east and remember there is no Islamic party if Igbo's flood into APC today it will never be regarded as an islamic party again.



long live the Igbo nation.

long live Nigeria

[/color]MY MASTER PLAN FOR A BETTER NIGERIA
In a country like ours with a population of 180 million people we could do Something tangible with that without government support. Calm down and listen. If I were the president of nigeria I would focus on one sector first because having your fingers in many area is a distraction. I recommend the EDUCATION SECTOR.
In nigeria we have 30 million student. Imagine that they all attend the same school. There is no government or private school. The government owns all the schools. There should be no payment of school fees.
Let us start from my own state Kogi. If the government focus its effort to standard one good school in every local government area. Provide buses to Covey student who live far. I mean there should be serious effort.
Each student is to pay #500 Weekly. That is 30million students * #500= 15billion per week.

Dongreat:
Music is a food to the soul but does that include music from either Ghana or Nigeria? I have listened to the guy songs and one word "TRASH". He just murmured all over his songs while repeating rubbish lyrics with no meaningful rhymes and still shouting "Mr EAZI". He use one beat pattern to cover all these flaws and like many Nigerians with no sense for the importance of lyric but mad over beats, they called and crowned him Next Rated, just like they did to Mr Skibo and Rekedo banks but where is the rated among these mentioned.
Well people music taste are different but for music to be a food then it has to deliver meaningful lyrics. The great Fela has no sense of rhymes but his lyrics are heart touching, making his Afro songs original. I listened to Titanium, Bang your Head, The Greatest, Elastic Heart by Sia and even as she is no preacher, her words on those songs are powerful than any man of God I have encountered.

"They call me Mr Eazi and Life is Easy because I roll with Wizzy, oya zagga that". And you call that music??

thank you bro, you said it all. Am a sia music lover also have you listened to bird set free and battle cry they are making sense. I stopped listening to naija music a long time ago and its even hard for me to listen to songs that ain't sia's that's Gospel music included

CHARLOTTE, NC—The United States first family has turned more than a few heads at this week’s Democratic National Convention, where the president, as he greets delegates and waves to crowds of supporters, is often accompanied not only by his wife and two daughters, but also his rarely seen 19-year-old son, Luther.



The theonion.com reports that the shy, slightly overweight teenager, who has lived his entire life with his mother in central Illinois, seldom appears in public with the president, with whom he has reportedly shared a somewhat distant and occasionally strained relationship.


“When I saw that kid with President Obama, I had no clue who he was,” said Georgia delegate, Kathy Tyson, stating that the teen appeared to have difficulty sustaining eye contact with others and stood uncomfortably alongside his father when he shook hands with voters Thursday.
Tyson said: “I guess he does kind of look like the president, though a bit shorter and stockier.”


Luther was born in 1993 to Andrea Pletcher, then a 24-year-old diner cashier whom Obama, a young law professor at the time, met during a brief trip to the state capital of Springfield.



While the president’s son is said to have
faced numerous obstacles during his childhood, including academic troubles, repeated emotional outbursts, and his mother’s bouts with alcoholism, family friends have stated that overall he was a “good kid” who “genuinely meant well.”

White House aides said the president sends money to Pletcher each month for Luther’s care.


After he became a U.S. senator and moved to Washington, Obama reportedly visited his 11-year-old son every other Saturday afternoon, playing wiffle ball with him or taking him out to a movie matinee and then dinner at the local Applebee’s.
When he became president, however, Obama’s contact with the boy reduced markedly, though sources confirmed he would still send Luther a birthday card and speak with him on the phone every month or so, often talking him through his schoolwork or asking about his son’s interests in music and online gaming.


According to reports, the two have often struggled to find common ground, owing largely to their sharply differing levels of motivation and expectations for academic and personal success.


“There was a rough patch during Luther’s early and mid-teens when he and his dad didn’t get along at all,” said Pletcher, speaking from the $600-a-month ground-level condominium she shares with her son and live-in boyfriend.


Pletcher said: “But Barry came to Luther’s high school graduation last year, and that was a big step forward for them. And now that Luther’s rebellious phase seems to be winding down, there’s definitely a greater respect between them.


“I’ll tell you, though, Luther was a real handful for a while there, with his ADD and all.”


She continued, “But he’s doing okay now. And I’ve been with [boyfriend] Ian [Williams] for the past three years, so Luther’s had a male figure he can look up to a little bit.”
In a sign of their improving relationship,

Obama is said to have congratulated his son heartily upon learning Luther was giving school another shot this fall, enrolling part-time at Lincoln Land Community College.

Additionally, Obama expressed optimism that his son could have a “real bright future” in the field of sales or, if he applied himself, computers.



With Luther now slated to join the first family on the campaign trail, staffers confirmed the president has encouraged them to entrust the frequently expressionless teen, who often dresses in all-black clothing, with some minor tasks to help him learn about responsibility.

Despite comments that interactions between the president and his son have remained noticeably stiff and awkward, Obama said he was excited that he and Luther were spending quality time together and “finally starting to get to know each other.”


“I can’t say I was the perfect father by any means,” said Obama, admitting candidly that he “wasn’t always there for Luther.”


“While my son has battled his share of problems, his mother really did the best she could raising him, and I think she did a fine job. Now Luther and I are ready to move forward and make up for lost time.” “I’m real proud of my boy,” he added.

However, that of 'a man loving me for real', I don't get how that is out of place. Can you, please, explain further.

Why is the pressure to compromise always on ladies?

can a man love you for fake its either he loves you or no he doesn't

The allegations against him are very lame, he owns/operate a foreign account and so what?
He attended London Business School, Harvard Business School as well as European Institute of Business Administration INSEAD France(In all this institution you don't expect him to pay his fees in Naira)
Also, he was accused of owning a home in London which he bought before getting into the house of Reps, for someone who attended Harvard Business School, London Business School et el, he seems to come from a Privilege family.....

I was expecting to see mind blowing allegations of theft against him but nothing tangible...

why isn't the account closed I thought government official should not own foreign account

The message here is demand for restructuring, that is a renegotiated country.

Governor Wike was speaking within the context of Biafra, and the fact is that the people of Ijaw nation and the entire Niger Delta are not seeking for a splinter country nor do they have any business with iPod confusionist group.


Nigeria must be restructured to make any progress

Who will restructure it you ?, APC or PDP youths? nobody can restructure it it must first die out then new terms for a new country will be renegotiated.

Don't mind them. They don't know this,that Putin is simply seeking a relationship with America, which Obama has denied him several times. Check every Putin's message to America e.g his independence wish to Americans, he(Putin) spoke about resuming good relationship with Americans.
