I'm on debating break until further notice

Imagine foreigners invalidating a mother who's lost her son to drugs they sell (he's become a zombie) and them in return saying she's jealous of them. Wouldn't you wanna assault them after that - be honest?

The sooner such people leave SA, the sooner the country will work on social cohesion with sane foreign nationals.

Which foreign nationals do you guys consider sane? From the look of things, all Africans have been declared non-persona grata by you guys. It's going to be long winter for you guys eventually. This is the information age where everything is being recorded and shared. The lives that have been destroyed so far can't just easily be explained away by the sheer xenophobia displayed by your likes. Some South Africans are against what's happening and they've been vocal about it. It is hoped that the situation is managed on time such that the image of South Africa is redeemed among their fellow African countries. You once needed us and we came. You might need us again tomorrow.
Whatever SA cooks for the whole of Africa, we can consume but when the rest of Africa cook for SA, I bet they can't consume it all.

You can pack your bags and go to Onitsha, South South will never join the South East. If they try it,we will show them pepper this time

Hahahahahaha 😂 😂
When the time comes we shall see.

Kwara have a large population of Yorubas but will be in middle belt which is NC. Reason is, you can not get a perfect borderline. Except there's a agreement for a people along the borderline to choose their country and their land will be mapped into the other country.
There are Igbos in Rivers, Delta, Kogi and Benue but they are regarded as minority (sort of) in those states.
It takes a lot to agree on a country's boundaries

Igbos in Rivers and Delta states are not minorities in those states.

CrownedPhoenix:
A country with trained state security services that gulp so much funding for personnel, training and apparatus yet cannot fish out untrained, ill-equipped terrorists with traceable devices in known locations?

This is not about politics and not even about the president. Are we saying that something of the magnitude happens and you first need the president to tell you to go and fish out the culprits? No, he doesn't have to!
If he has to, means you have not done your job that's why he has to tell you.

This is to heads of security services - YOU ARE FAILURES!!!

The prodigal sons of the Nigerian Army slaughtered a bloody civilian. That is how it is meant to be which is why there's no outrage. If it was a horrible thing, the evil government of Nigeria would have done something about it. This is the reality of Nigeria.

Those guys that beheaded a Nigerian school teacher are not terrorists but prodigal sons of the Nigerian Army. Governor Seyi Makinde should take note.
E go reach everybody.

Let me book space here. This thread will be as dry as the Namibian desert for obvious reasons.

Just see how quiet the thread is. Good people die like flies in Nigeria. God forbid.

Notice how most lovers of one Nigeria will be quiet about this glaring evil. For them, the meaning of unity is the subjugation of Christian communities.
Surprisingly, you shouldn't be surprised seeing Nigerian soldiers from the same middlebelt Christian communities doing the same in Christian communities of Southern Nigeria especially in the SE and SS.
Now, you understand when we say you don't have an army as a Nigerian. What you have is an armed force for the subjugation of Christians in general in Nigeria. They don't do this evil in Muslim communities.

themanderon:
Crazy country. The guy should be glad he struck the mouth and not anywhere sensitive. This country is tiring.

You better say what you know. If the mouth isn't sensitive to other people, it is very sensitive to Yorubas. Which mouth will he use to 'sọ isọkusọ'? Which mouth will he use to eat shaki and bọkọtọ? 😂 😂 😂 😂

Proudly IPOB, proudly a secessionist. Nigeria has proven to be an endangered zone for my people which is why I embraced secession. You can brand us all you want but we will never accept the conditions of our people as it is today in Nigeria. If you decide to progress in your evil by what you suggested in this thread, your own people will also become a fair game.

Entering bus is not democracy. You pay your fare and travel or walk!! And you do not need to lie that he "never brush and bathe, looking unkempt", and the fact you lie belittles your position.

I hope he sues the company for discriminating against him, since passengers should not be determining the companies policy.

Why don't you contact him so you can be his lawyer? You can proceed to sue the companies let's see if you can win.
Fulani kidnappers show their faces daily on social media with piles of ransom money from their victims without the Nigerian government ever arresting and prosecuting a single one of them. Nigerians have figured out that they're on their own seeing the complicity of the government who easily track any dissenting voice on social media but always can't seem to track Fulani kidnappers. They decided they won't risk their lives travelling with a Fulani herdsman in a long distant journey through lonely highways. They let the transport company know that they were willing to ask for refund and forfeit the journey than risking their lives with a potential kidnapper who won't be arrested if their suspicion eventually turns to be true. Dismiss them all you want but the transport company had to choose between transporting one passenger alone with his one ticket and incurring multiple proportional losses or laying him off to be able to transport a full load and make profits. They chose the later in all wisdom. You will have to convince the world how wrong they were. Every business reserve the right to admit a person or group of persons if they deem them a journey or flight risk. It is common sense.

The Nigerian government is a t×rr0r15t government. If not, tell me why whole communities are destroyed by t*rror1sts with many killed and the survivors sent to IDPs yet the t*rros1sts are left to occupy those communities. Why have the army and other Nigerian forces not been sent to kill and destroy the t*rror1sts occupying the villages and communities of displaced people if not that they're the ones that sent them? It is just commonsense.
I repeat; the Nigerian government is a t*rror1sts government which they've continue to prove by releasing terrorists under the name 'operation safe corridor' but will kill ordinary protesters openly. Let's go to any international court and prove me wrong.

Blitzerz:
They should stop calling this man bishop.

The man is a crude oil mogul busy lobbying.

Google him

Very true. Anyone can google his name to see the type of person he is. He's an enabler of the genocide in Nigeria by hobnobbing with the sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria since the time of Buhari. Justin Welby is NOT a clergy by any standard. His love for oil has silenced his soul and ears to hear the cries of Christians being killed in Nigeria by the terrorist loving government of Nigeria. He has never for once condemned the killings of Christians as a so called Archbishop. He's no better than those 'bishops for sale' Tinubu purchased during the run-up to the 2023 presidential election.

We did not allow the Igbos to go because the major oil was in the Eastern region.

was Gowon unfiltered. It is as clear as daylight.
Well, well, well... what you feared a Christian Ojukwu- from an area without a history of imperial ambition, would do that made you supervise a genocide against his people, is today upon your own people by the very people you supported back in the days. They are today exterminating your people using the back up of the same army you once led kill other people who simply wanted to stay on their own. Is it a coincidence or karma? I'll believe it's karma when you direct family members are also victims in the present genocide.
Yakubu Gowon, you will reap what you sowed. The blood of my people spilled because of your greed and wickedness will continue to call out your name.

Kurds are secessionists who have been trying to cut away from Turkey, Iran, Iraq and a few more countries. I don’t know if they will make their move now, but at least they’re well armed. If the US can send guns to the Middle belt and hand the guns directly to the leaders of the victims so they won’t fall in the wrong hands, and give them a crash course on how to hit targets, in a week most of the people will able to defend themselves while we wait for the regional police. I remember when the now defense Minister told Nigerians to learn martial arts, they insulted him. Nigeria is in a civil war and you all need to defend yourselves, the president can only support the army to do their best, he can’t go and fight the terrorists himself as some expect him to do. Community organizing is more important than ever, there has to be every little thing here and there while we wait for the regional police. Finally be on the lookout for non indigenes joining your new police.

It's a welcome idea. They should also drop some of those high calibre assault rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers in the South East so we can be able to defeat the prodigal sons and their supporting fathers. We also need help. The people of the SE have seen the worst in Nigeria with nobody outside the region speaking for us. It isn't fair. We also need international backing.

Tell them we want to know how many of that 117 that enlisted will remain after 3yrs before we consider whether to increase our enlistment or not. We won't be cannon fodder for those who consider Islamic terrorists their prodigal sons.

Tailorcaesar:
Back in 2018, right after finishing NYSC. I enrolled for the Nigerian Army here in Onitsha, after going the the rigorous surety and obtaining signatures from LGA and traditional rulers, I entered camp, I engaged in all the sporting and educative activities in the camp, when the names came out I saw my name written boldly that I wasn't shortlisted, that I can neither read nor write. mind you I just finished my NYSC, whereas so many people from the north where in our camp, and their names got shortlisted under Anambra, I know one Musa Muhammad who can't read out his name in English was shortlisted.

These are one of the few reasons why so many igbos refused to enrol in the NIGERIAN ARMY

Have you considered going to report this to any top ranking traditional ruler in Anambra state for record purposes? Achọghim I kpọọ afa mmadụ. You know, security is a communal effort. You experience and information will really help them to piece two and three together to be able to get the bigger picture at play in Nigeria.
We are still at war!

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The tenant should hold the landlord,the landlord should hold the wielders the wielders shout hold the retailer he sourced his material from..the retailer should hold d wholesalers the wholesalers should go to China and hold them responsible for giving him fake materials at a very cheap rate

It doesn't work like that. The main persons responsible for the failure is the landlord and the fabrictor/engineer of the project. When the landlord puts a cap of how much he's willing to spend on a project, the fabricator/engineer should refuse the job if he knows the cost can't make the designed capacity. Failure to adhere to this principle makes him culpable in this disaster. Nigerians will be ready to build a house with broom sticks if they're told it can made to LOOK like a solid block structure and it would be cheap. They lack the understanding that load bearing structure WILL FAIL if not properly calculated and accounted for while building. This usually results to 3X cost of the first compared to doing it correctly the first time.
The supplier is only implicated if he sells the wrong description to them instead of the right on they asked in the first place. This is where the experience of the fabricator/engineer comes into play. He should be able to tell that the product presented by the seller isn't the right capacity despite the claims made.
Construction and fabrication isn't something to be careless with. It will cost plenty lives and resources if it fails. A doctors mistake may kill one person or a few but an engineers will kill multitude.

In a country where the army calls terrorists their brothers and prodigal sons, while Christian villagers are being slaughtered weekly and their communities burnt down, you don't need to be told that you need external intervention. Cry all you want about the US, yet it won't change them from moving in and changing the successes of these terrorists to a great extent. The Nigerian government and army collaborate with the terrorists that's why they release the few they arrest and yet insist on communities remaining defenseless. If you decide to arm your community, the Nigerian army will come for mop up and arrest. They lock up villagers they arrested for making self defence preparations while releasing terrorists that have killed thousands.
This evil cannot be allowed to continue. The US are welcomed to intervene. If they fail to stop the killings but instead focus on resource exploitation while people continue to die, they also will be called out as collaborators. The people to be pitied are the average Nigerians who are being killed by reckless abandon.
Shame on anyone who supports this t*rror15t loving government. May the blood of their victims be on your head.

Prodigal sons kill Prodigal soldiers... there's no big deal here. Barman, serve everyone one more rounds of palmy make we celebrate.

One thing is sure. After Tinubu, non of them will ever come out to protest politically again. I'll support a shoot at sight order on them.

aswani:
Who are una?

Just wait a while until after the Primaries at ADC, you people will soon start abusing the same David Mark you are hailing. Nor bi di same tin una do to Abure afta una support am against Lamidi Apapa?

Lol. Do whatever you can do to ADC.. I don't give a hoot. One thing is certain which is that Yorubas have lost their currency for been fair.

aswani:
This is fake because Ẹdo is not an ethnicity, it is a state on Nigeria, hopefully we get a mod to sangalo the thread away from our sight.

🤣 🤣 🤣 As Tinubu take sangalo ADC working committee through inec. Na una regular trademark be that. Una hate competition die 🤣 🤣 🤣

lawani:
You are right but many are there. A Google search will show that Yoruba mechanic workshops in Kano are many. A random Google search shows staff members of a department in ABU to be like majority Yoruba and etc. I have cousins that went to Unimaid and etc. Someone I met in OAU said the largest student union in ABU was Ondo state union. Christians were attacked in Jos in 2008 or so and a majority of Southerners killed were Yoruba. However total southerners in the North will be between 1.5 million and 3 million while Yoruba in North will exceed ten million including Northerners who are Yoruba but not including members of the Beerebe or Yorubawa community whose communities were established by Yorubas but have no relatives in Yoruba land any longer that they know of

There is nothing like Yorubawa community in Northern Nigeria made up of Yorubas who no longer have family members in the SW today. Nothing like that. Yes, some Yorubas exist who have lost connection back to Yorubaland but they've been acculturated there. They're not a community in the sense of it. There are also Igbos in the same category but to a very low numbers in comparison. This is because most Igbos travel home with their kids to show them their place of origin but Yorubas don't do so that much. However, most Yorubas know their states of origin and town but will struggle to identify there grandfather's compound.
The entire Yoruba population in the North INCLUDING Northern Yorubas of Kwara and Kogi is less than 6 million.
Kwara... 3million
Kogi.... 1.2 million
The rest of the entire Northern Nigeria 1.5million.

Whatever the population of Southerners in the North and Northerners in the South, it is immaterial in the division of Nigeria. Every Southerner knows his origin and can easily relocate when the time comes. People should stop reasoning like frogs and start thinking like humans. Nigeria can't protect you, then have a vote of no confidence on Nigeria and part ways with her. Just simple common sense.

The originator of this thread is a bad student of statistics. You can't just use an outlier state like Osun as a base for comparison of migrants. It doesn't work that way. Osun state can only be used in that sense for few inconsequential states not known for commerce, mining and trade. Some northern states don't fall into that category. For example, Kano, Plateau, Kaduna and Abuja don't fall into that category. Nasarawa and Niger states also are states that benefit from the Abuja spill over. These states don't fit into your Osun category of states for non-indigenes and low southern populations. You've never travelled to the North hence you can't gauge properly the likely populations of Southerners living there.
Prior to the Sharia riots in the North and the subsequent violence that followed against Christians in the region, large numbers of Southerners settled in many smaller towns and even villages there. I'll estimate close to 8 million at the time (1999). However, from year 2000, the number started to drop. States like Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba and Gombe witnessed a large exodus of Southerners. A good number of them now settled in Abuja swelling it's population. Abuja in 1999 was less than 400,000 people. The same but to a lesser extent happened in the North West states which wasn't heavily affected by Boko Haram campaign. Kano and Kaduna still have a sizeable number of Southerners but new traveller's weren't going there anymore. For the North Central states, the Southerners population was not much affected even in Plateau despite the many violence that plagued it.
As of today, the population of Southerners living in the entire North I'll say ranges between 5 to 6 million.

Nnamdi Kanu love or hate him, was a pragmatist who knew a lot beyond what the average Nigerian know. Everyone is crying today and they're pretending not to know the people killing them. As bad a Buhari was, I'll still give it to him that he overrated Nigerians when he made the notorious statement about dogs and baboons being soaked in blood. He really thought the victims will put up a fight but he was wrong. They're all cowards who wail and cry while burying their people. They can't fight back. Day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year, millions are driven away from their ancestral lands and kept in IDPs while well known terrorists occupy their lands and farms. No one asks questions and all move on as though nothing happened. Are they all under a spell? It is a shame.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been vindicated for forming the ESN to defend the SE. The Nigerian army has focused all their arms and power to quash the ESN to no avail. They openly call Fulani t*rr0r1sts their brothers and prodigal sons while killing off anyone that tries to defend their communities against those t*rr0r1sts. We shall see how this nightmare called Nigeria shall come to its end.

It will be interesting to see how some group of people will respond to this report. Whatever the case, the reality is there for all to see.
May God continue to bless Ndigbo. Amen
