I will be foolish to expect empathy from an Igbo
We know how Awo kept n paid you unfortunate ungratel souls your allocation after the war but does any igbo ever tell that part of history today.

May it never be well with with any aigno that sympathize with the Yorubas. Just of recent the igbo social media was agog over the news that herds men chased Yorubas in Benin Republic. Only foolish Yoruba will expect a tribe so bitter n filled with irredeemable hate 4 it show love instead Yoruba have chosen to be in your father's faces telling you to hell with you.

Always remember that what goes around comes around. When you mock a people during their time of travails don't expect empathy from them when you suffer similar thing.
Awolowo despite handing the allocation back to the Igbos cannot be viewed in good light by Igbos because of the incalculable damage he did to us through his 'betrayal'. Prior to the war, hardly did any Igbo speak wrong of him. Even the coup plotters openly said it was him they wanted to take over the reigns of government because of the trust they had in his capability. He was treated well while he was incarceration in the East by the same Igbo but all that changed after he took sides with the same people that threw him into jail to use hunger as a weapon against the same people that had so much faith in him. The millions that died never mattered to you because you lack compassion. Your heart is cold towards anything Igbo. How can one starve a section of the country they still expect to be a part of them? I'm used the cliche 'All Is Fair In War'. Only a fool uses such cliche to explain a war aimed at uniting a people. You're so foolish to think Igbos should be grateful for the allocation. Was it Awo's personal money? What about the 20 pounds policy? Your brain is so wired to hate Igbos and see them as those that should have no say or opinion on an issue but that's your business. The same people have today bounced back by the grace and mercy of God. If you were God, Igbos would have since gone extinct. That means their won't have been Nwankwo Kanu, JJ Okocha, P Square, Mary Onyali and the list is endless. A very gifted people should be allowed to prosper to help redeem the black race but here in Nigeria, the opposite is the case. Hate has beclouded their senses to the extent that they prefer to see Igbos on their knees begging. Since they kept Igbos out of the federal government, they ended up destroying the country. See the mess Nigeria has become. It shall on record that no Igbo man ruled Nigeria as she headed down to failure. At least, you can't attach Igbo to that record.
I understand how those Igbos who mocked the Yorubas on the Benin refugee camp situation. Yorubas have been in the fore front of laughing at the state sponsored massacre of Igbos for over a decade. From the killings of MASSOB members to that of IPOB. It's only natural for Igbos to return it when they their people fleeing to another country when their homes were attacked. Is their anything wrong with it? It is called 'Tit For Tat'. While I understand the natural instinct at play, I still discouraged those who persisted in such act by telling them it's enough. We all down South shouldn't be foolish not to see the people that gain from our collective internal squabbles. The message is simply that whatever you do to others shall be done to you.
I penned down this long response for reasonable people who might have followed our exchange. As for you, may you choke on your hate. I don't expect love from you and don't you expect any from me.

Is this the freedom you seek?

Is it today that we know how delighted you guys are in shedding Igbo blood? The failed DSS sting operation had to still snatch away the lives of our young ones. Posterity will judge you all. The sins of men shall all the uncovered some day just like that of Pantami has been brought up today.

tribalmall:
So your mothers n sister are lamenting. I swear all of u shall lament to death. We're all of you not the one that voted him to power. He pain me say i de ignore this thread since morning. I 4 Don comment for front page take una laf tire today.

The same way you don't empathize with us during our cries for justice is exactly the same way we shall do to you when your travails begin. If it sounds like laughter to you after hearing soldiers of a country raped women of their own country, then your sanity is in question.

KahlDrogo:
If those idiotic ipob bastards try shit again, Wike will teach them more lesson. He has already warned them.

The flying nuptial termite always end up as a breakfast for the leaping toad. Let him enjoy his flight and macabre dance of shame currently. His day of recompense is coming.

Rather is the down fall of your own region and ancestral land. Igboland is a land of free men and free men we shall remain.

The blood of the innocent in Obigbo is crying out for judgement. Our raped mothers and sisters are lamenting day and night asking what their crime was. Someone must answer for that heinous crime. It is only natural to demand for justice and so it shall be.

TheSociopath:
No pain, no gain. Throughout history, people have been sacrificed for the improvement of technology. May we not be unfortunate

Cold and savage but true nonetheless. While AI aerial vehicles might be successful I have my doubts for the road plying ones. Too many obstacles to avoid on the ground and split seconds decisions decide whether it's a crash or not. The probability for crashes should be higher for AI road vehicles than for humans especially within heavily populated settlements with obstacles around.
The likely saving grace is if there's a low fixed speed limit for auto-driving.

I hope Buhari's and El Rufai sons should be among. Not to forget Tinubu and Lai Mohammed Sons or grandsons. Let them lead by example.

Yet the same Zangon Kataf(Atiyap) people have lost over 500 human beings in the hands of the fulani terrorists without a single one of them arrested. In fact, it's on record that El Rufai appeased them with millions of naira all to no avail. Lovers of Nigeria, what do you have to say?

Babalegba:
Lol, Aba women's riot, I mean war all over again. I've read Nigerian history extensively for more than forty years and never came across any mention of well organized military effort against the British from ibos. In fact organized military campaigns against the British came from the north but they succumbed to the machine gun. The yorubas were too preoccupied with fighting themselves and did not field a United army so the town's like ijebus that confronted the British were defeated quickly. History is too important to be messed with. The problem is that ibos at the time lacked central leadership so there was no King and a United national army so any opposition to the British would have come from area boys and hotheads in the town's. You cannot call that a war.

It's good to read first before opening your mouth to say rubbish. Why not search for books online that wrote about the Ekumeku Resistance? Any form of marshal resistance against invaders by indigenous people is rightly described as a war. It may not be well organized for various reasons but the blood and life put up for such defence qualifies it to be described as such. That a lot of positives about Igbos were deliberately kept out of Nigerian history shouldn't make one regard stories from Igbos as lies or exaggeration. Many young Igbos have gone into reading history from Libraries all over the world to know more about their people and the trend will continue. We are proud of our history.
Don't allow prejudice cloud your sense of reasoning.

gwafaeziokwu:
As of the time our fathers were resisting the British I am sure that none of them knew about the Berlin conference and its outcome. They let their survival instinct guide them to the fact that they and their unborn children were about to be messed up forever. So for more than two decades they fought with all they had. I am proud of that heritage. Each time I look at how the business venture of the Britain called Nigeria is killing off dreams. I take solace in the fact that our fathers never wanted this for us and they tried their best to neutralise the brits. One day our dreams will be achieved

Aptly put. Ndigbo hate subjugation and will do anything to fight it off. It's in our blood and we are proud of it. Our complete freedom is at hand and God willing, victory shall be ours. Our forefathers resisted the British with all the had. They knew nothing good comes with any association with them.

And the genocide against indigenous Christians in Lunguda, Gombe state continues. You will never see Nigerian soldiers pursuing and killing the attackers of a peaceful community.

Is it slave loving their master or what

Or is it ignorance?

The English and the world have right to sympathise with her and her family but look at Nigerians....are we even supposed to? Despite everything being done in Africa in her Majesties name?

Britain created Nigeria in her Majesties name

Britain created SARS in her Majesties name

Britain created these monsters up north in her Majesties name

Shell, ExxonMobil etc is in Nigeria in her Majesties name doing messing up people land and bringing suffering

The Nigeria civil war was fought in her Majesties name

Her Majesty don't care about your life in africa.... They only give directive through their ambassadors to create a policy that works for them alone and don't care how it impoverishes you

If you manage to escape from that poverty and become rich and intelligent.... She will dub you a KNIGHT to work for her then your bought over too

IF LUGARD AND SHAW WAS TO DIE TODAY....NIGERIANS WILL SYMPATHIZE AND TYPE RIP TO THEM

Are you surprised? Some so called educated Nigerians will mourn Shekau if confirmed dead tomorrow. I wonder the type of humans we have here in Nigeria especially in the southern part.
No one says one should rejoice over his death but sympathizing over the same people who by and large are behind the evil politics that has destroyed your homeland screams of critical reasoning dissonance.

mekaboy:
In the war the ordinary Nigerians will suffer. After the destruction comes hunger, poverty and crime. Most of these politicians have cash and investment abroad. They also secret dual citizenship. Starting up again with be a problem.

There's poverty, hunger and crime already currently and it will only get worse because those who clearly don't have the capacity to make any positive change won't allow those who stand a better chance to handle that position. Allowing this situation to fester will lead to even worst situations like is found in Somalia. Dividing the country peacefully is the best so those who want to be more Islamic than Saudi Arabia can do so while those who want to progress can do so too without hindrance. However, if they choose war before division then so be it. But the north will be worst hit. The South has a huge diaspora community that can bring any sort of assistance at recovery coupled with a less violent psyche that will allow a level of reconstruction. Most of all the current politicians who supported this current aberration will never be allowed in any political position leaving only technocrats to handle such positions. If South Korea could recover, Southern Nigeria can recover too.
It is the fear of the unknown that kept Africa in bondage for centuries while the Europeans who conquered it benefited immensely from such. People wonder why Igbos progress but fail to see the obvious. The new Igbo man does not have the fear if the unknown hence he can venture into any part of the world alone to identify a money making business that the locals their know nothing of. Before they realize its worth, he has become very rich. Let's divide Nigeria, perhaps the fulani north may realize that ranching and agriculture plus Zamfara gold can sustain a country. Perhaps, they may discover some other things that can boost their national income. But insisting on oppressing others like being done to my people will NEVER be accepted? How can an ethnic group with over 40million people be treated as a nothing? More than half of countries in Africa are less than 40 million people and they control their land and do whatever they want in it. My people with a very high intellectual human resource and a huge entrepreneurial capacity are boxed into non state actors. Such an evil thing to do to the black race. We're not scared of the unknown. Let Nigeria be divided let's handle it from there.

mekaboy:
IPOB is a criminal organisation setup by a fraudster to enrich himself.

In a case of war the south will have more to loose. People of the south are more skilled, educated, exposed. Have better standard of living and properties. You can't be fighting physically with a people who are majority illiterates and have nothing to live for.

When the south agrees on this first before the strings will be pulled to get the north to align.

First of all, you'll have to rescind calling IPOB a criminal organization. She has neither stolen anything from you or Nigeria. Rather she has been in the forefront of calling for the freedom of an oppressed people peacefully for close to a decade. She suffered a lot of persecution losing close to a thousand young people to the evil Nigerian security apparatus through violent killings. She has her presence in over 50 countries worldwide and there have not been any bad case associated to them. If you insist on using a foul term on them again, you'll be treated as an urchin bereft of any solid analytical capability.
Now to the South/North political permutations in the event of the breakdown of laws. Naa!
The South with all these positives won't lose more. Even the majority illiterates you guys depend on will want to have a chance to live their lives at a point in time. This is not going to be a war of spears and swords that needs a melee to cut down an enemy. There are more intelligent ways to wipe out multitudes with just a strike. For you information, even your politicians who actually created the current evil will have a taste of the pudding. It will getto all of them. You clearly underestimated the capability of an educated mind. You'll be shocked the length to which these educated minds from the South will go.
Finally, there's nothing to agree with vampires who contribute nothing but insist on controlling everyone and forcing all to do their bidding.

Akiara:
IF ITS SOMEONE LIKE YOU CHAMPIONING THIS ...I WILL SUPPORT...BUT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN....

I do understand. Wisdom knows no hate. It only seeks solutions and results in the best way achievable. Ego and unnecessary pull-him-down syndrome is for is for the fearful.

PHijo:
States were not, and can not be the biggest problem in Nigeria. Thanks to states we no longer have to put with Igbo excesses like forced in school to learn; 1 otu, 2 abo, etc.

The biggest problem of Nigeria is the greed, bigotry and ingratitude of some ethnic groups within the space called Nigeria.

If you reject learning Igbo at least when fulanis gobble up what remains of Nigeria after our departure, you'll forcefully learn Hausa.
Two can play the game of foolish and unwarranted hatred. Swahili is the most widely spoken African language transcending national boundaries but it has its root in Tanzania. It is a national language in more than 5 African countries yet you have a problem with a people that have never been violent on your people in any recorded history. It is well o.
If the generality of Igbos decide to go it alone you guys would be the ones regretting.

Igboid:
So in a region Igbos were the majority and constituted 2/3 of the population, we had two traditional leaders representing the region and none was Igbo.
No Igbo cried.

But when one minority traditional leader was replaced with an Igbo one, this Igbophobic old Ijaw man saw it as Igbo domination.

Wonders shall never end.

These are the sort of people IPOB want Ndiigbo to share a country with?

Azhi gbakwa!

I saw that and shook my head. History favours us like I'll always say. Our fathers tried their best to carry them along but they always rejected it. Willink Commission exonerated our fathers further. Now I understand the anger of the Biafran soldiers. Those you're fighting for are so foolish not to understand you. It's quite frustrating.
As for IPOB, they're doing the right thing. We need to come together at least we all can see how our land have been exploited, polluted and abandoned and we've even been edged out of the control of our territories. IPOBs stand is still a proposal that they can reject if they don't think it wise. It's the older and bigger that extends a hand of union not the other way round most times. This I believe will be the last of such extension of fraternity. Brotherhood no be by force.

naijaking1:
Nonsense narrative.
Your religion allows you to steal children of other religion, take them to the emir, and forcefully marry them without their parents consent?

Don't mind him. They think we don't know how they derive pleasure in forcing their way on other people. The same mentality guiding the use of lethal force on any perceived threat in the South but the use of kidgloves on confirmed terrorists in the North. We know them so well. My concern is for these indigenous Hausa Christians after Nigeria is divided. They may have to leave the core north and settle in the middlebelt for them to know any respite. Such a sad situation for them.

Coronabirus:
Nigerians treat people of other faiths or tribe with disdain. Atleast Hausa accept the presence of Hausa Christians among them for long and have been co-existing in peace with one another. Any issue related to abduction of girls is likely related with cross-religious relationship which some people are trying to change the narration. This lack of freedom or fear of religious expression is everywhere to the extent some group of people are denying the presence of other religions among them but the only one they inherited from colonial masters.

Unlike the Hausa Christians who are in no way a threat to Hausaland or the politics of Hausa people, Igbo Muslims will be a mole for our sworn political enemies to infiltrate Igboland. Already we're seeing it in Yorubaland and will never allow such to fester in our land. When we control our land, their will be freedom of worship as long as everyone respect himself. Igboland is a land of freedom right from antiquity and it shall remain so.
I don't mince words because the truth always prevails. An average Hausa man is not necessarily violent unless when provoked. Islam and the fulani purveyors have altered the Hausa man of today. It is still redeemable though but I don't want to be entangled in that battle. Let me secure my people and land first.

Very sad indeed. Northern Muslim are among the worst set of human beings to deal with. While very few of them are good the majority harbour evil in their hearts for anything unislamic. Only those who don't know them will want to share the same country with them.
I sympathise with the Hausa Christian community and I'm at lost on how they can be helped because I don't want to share a country with their region. It's so sad what they're passing through.
I met a couple of them especially one very pretty one like that. She was a type of woman but seeing the journey to still be very far, I had to proceed on my way.
God will hear their cry.

Akiara:
YORUBA TALK SELF-DETERMINATION ....THEY SEND POLICE/CIVIL DEFENSE

IGBO TALK SELF-DETERMINATION .......THEY SEND ARMY/NAVAL/AIRFORCE/SPECIAL FORCES AND EVEN FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

WITH THE DEATHS (IN THE PAST..IGBO ARE STILL NOT RELENTING)

NOW PLEASE WHO DO YOU REALLY THINK THESE TERRORIST FEAR??

ONLINE URCHINS...EVEN IF THE SELFDETERMINATION IS A SCAM....SEE AS UNA MASTERS NO SEND UNA!!!...SPITS!!

BUT IF NA IGBO MATTER UNA GO DEY SALIVATE LIKE HYENA WEY SEE BONE....

This is totally unwarranted. Condemn the tyrannical government and let those seeking for freedom express themselves.
The terrorist government can only try but they can't stop the move.

Congrats to Ufot Ekong. Just imagine what Biafra would have been! By now Biafra would have been among the top ten technologically advanced country. But not to worry, we shall actualize it to give our people the chance to do exploits back at home.

All political statements. The original statement read "one of the safest place" but the title says otherwise.
We all that's not true but to massage the ego of the fulani controlled north, he made that statement. If we take statistics of Igbos that have been attacked violently as a people in all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria from 2010 till date, it's very clear that the north will come up first. Too much Igbo blood have been spilt in Northern Nigeria with goods worth billions destroyed. How then can any sensible human devoid of partisanship make such a comment?
Whatever prompted that speech if targeted at dissuading Igbos from calling for the division of Nigeria won't fly because the soul and heart of majority of Ndigbo have left Nigeria long time ago especially the north. Those Igbo bar owners whose businesses were destroyed by Hisbah can attest to it. Did Nigerian constitution prohibit the sales of alcohol? Is Nigeria an Islamic country? The fulanis should that the train has left the station long time ago. There'll always be stragglers and they won't be the definition of the travellers.
It should interest them that a peaceful division will be much better for all where business interests and treaties can be reached amicably. If they however prefer war then so be it.
We hate no one. We just want to control our land to build it as we want. That's all.

Another case.

Continue fighting IPOB. You'll learn the hard way.
On another note, this suggestion of yours(the original thread from 2018) is a brilliant idea and would have been a master stroke if implemented but we know they will never accept it. No oppressor negotiates with whosoever he's oppressing unless he's challenged PHYSICALLY to the point of fearing for his own dear life. The fulani north will never listen to your suggestion unless they see the slaughter of their henchmen and the full chances of losing all before they will call for a truce. Know this and then you can start dreaming of living in a good country.
Whosoever wants peace and freedom MUST prepare for war.

Khd95:
Nowhere is safe for these futa jalonians in the east, Fulani are menace to their society, if they have not destroy your farm land before you will never understand this, I remember some years back in kogi state, while I was still very young, these Fulani guys will drive their cows into people's farm, eat the crops and trample on others, imagine watching your hard labour go to waste, the farmers started combating the Fulani guys with balls of melon, if you throw a ball of melon on a cow, the cow might never survive it, it could die, then the fulanis started killing the farmers before they drive their cows into the farm, las Las na these treatment boys give them, no mercy for them, them butcher them like nama and drove them farther into the forest


Fulani herdsmen can't live peaceful with others, they are destructive, backward and always dirty, smelling like cow shit, they no dey hear words, very anyhow people

How does the ball of melon work against the cows? Is it chemical composition of the juice that does the damage or the weight of the fruit?

Those ones who think they can use the pretext of the failed DSS sting operation as an excuse to do their official invasion will be in for a rude shock. Over 100 soldiers have been killed in the North West and we are yet to hear of an invasion in the region. Over 10 high profile mass abduction of students in the same region yet no any response from the cows in Asorock. Even Jaji was attacked but we didn't hear of any massive response from them but see the urchins thinking they can just strole into SE and do as they please. You're all delusional.
There have been two invasion by fulani terrorists in the SE namely the one in Ishielu and Ngbo, Ebonyi with dozens of death recorded yet no single fulani terrorist has been arrested nor even prosecuted yet they think they can use the pretext of failed sting operations to do their erstwhile plan in the SE. You'll all get what you're looking for. The SE will be defended by millions of young men against any form of invasion by anyone. We remember what your evil soldiers did to your supposed female citizens at Obigbo. Raping your supposed citizens! Such a shame.
The world is aware of all your atrocities and in due time you all will be at the receiving end.

ThumbzTNA:
Afikpo can be grouped with Ohafia, Arochukwu, Bende dialects of Abia. If you have ear for one, you'll understand the rest

Some words unique to this dialect are

Jokwa - Well-done, Good morning. Greetings generally

Kaa - Sorry

Okpogo - Money

Mie - blood
etc

Is mie = mmęę as pronounced by some other Igbo groups in reference to blood?
For instance, this is a typical usage of the word in a sentence.
Aga m eyi gi mmęę = I'll bloody you.
This is used in boundary areas of Enugu, Anambra and Abia.

StaffofOrayan:
This is actually sad to read!
Turning logic on it's head just to defend Buharis gross foolishness

Lmao. Just imagine such a grossly foolish and ridiculous excuse. If that's the case, they should in turn remain in those countries where they feel safer and contest for elective positions there. Politicians in other countries have opponents yet remain in their countries for medical treatment.

What an interesting read. I've heard of this name but never knew the capacity of his influence. Today I know better and I believe if he was still alive would be full of regrets. Ken Saro Wiwa his colleague regreted before he was executed. He chose to align with the devils just so he could threaten his brothers. Quite revealing of his personality. What's the fate of his people currently with the tribalism he helped to sow in the polity? His latent hate for the Igbos was glaring and Edwin Clark seems to be of the same school of thought. Posterity will judge everyone for their contribution in the affairs of all the association they belong.
