Una findings go soon reach Obi cubana with the way he posed with soldiers and supercop Kyari that flushed out ESN in South East.. confused pipu

Plomo:
Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Everyone is also entitled to seek out knowledge.

To plant this very seed of falsehood in their progeny was one of the many reasons teaching history was scrapped.

@op, seek out knowledge for yourself. That’s all.

Agreed!
Those who seek knowledge should find out the truth from several accounts of the war and not one-sided stories of victimization.

I'm of the opinion that scrapping history from schools is a sinister move to suppress the truth that most of us were privy to.

For the records, the same man Ojukwu declared war on and dehumanized; Adaka Boro led the Federal troops through the creeks (as per Niger Deltan) to clear off biafran forces. It's fair play if you ask me.

Plomo:
•There was a country - Chinua Achebe
•Nigeria’s soldiers of fortune - Max Siollun
•Nigeria’s military coup culture(1966-1976) - Max Siollun
•Formation: The making of Nigeria from jihad to almagamation - Fola Fagbule

Start with these and you’ll understand why the north never wants a southerner, be it igbo or yoruba, in power. Understand why the northern policy makers scrapped the teaching of history and understand why gowon was a war criminal who oversaw genocide in a region.

You forgot to add how Igbos switched from enthroning North to organizing the first bloody Military coup that killed all Northern leaders and military officers, including Southerners from the West and Niger Delta region except the Igbos.

You forgot how Igbos spearheaded the death of regional government in Nigeria, with the likes of Ironsi, Azikiwe and co.

Maybe you should tell the OP how Igbos declared war on the Niger Delta for declaring their own republic and how Ojukwu went full force on them killing Adaka Boro's soldiers and even purchased a back door death sentence on Adaka Boro whose saving grace was the counter coup that killed Ironsi in barely six months after he took over.

The people of Niger Delta will never forget and I don't think they can forgive the Igbos for that.

History is good, it helps you to know where you're coming from and how to handle dicey situations.

Go to any bookstore around you, you'll find plenty books on the Nigerian civil war.

Odingo1:
Hypocrite, you love your own Yoruba criminal while calling for the head of others. Let Nigeria divide let all tribes go their way.

Igboho is different from Kanu and I am yet to see where Igboho openly solicited for weapons to kill other tribes in Nigeria like Kanu did..

I said it here that Igboho lost the moment he associated with IPOB.. what on earth was he thinking making reckless statements like 'any attack on a proscribed terrorist group IPOB is an attack on Yorubas'.
Who told him Yorubas want anything to do with IPOB and their lawlessness?

Igbokwe is an outsider in Yorubaland and he shouldn't think he is omo onile that will be talking anyhow.

Sanwo Olu should drop this guy ASAP.. let him go back to Anambra his home state where he is needed.

Igbokwe seems to be forgetting his place as an outsider in Yorubaland.. that you're Tinubu's boy doesn't mean you're at liberty to deride or mock any Yoruba son.

rosinkkit:
Go ballistic on them how? You want mass bombing raids of northern cities or what?

Lack of men is a stumbling block. Army and police are recruiting. Wanna go join up?

It's easy to sit in your bedroom saying ''go ballistic on them''.

So what is all our huge security vote in the budget for? year in year out, we keep allocating money for security and you tell me Nigeria has no manpower to flush out bandits? C'mon now.

Even if that is the case, there are private Military establishments that'll gladly take on the task.Saying Nigeria's Military can't flush out insurgency is a big insult on our intelligence.

Countries like U.S, Russia and co. that have troops stationed across the globe apart form the ones they have in-country know what they are doing. Nigeria must end insecurity now or insecurity will end Nigeria.

They should do more and go ballistic on them same way they are doing to activists and protesters.. where are they? bring them out if people won't gather and beat them to pulp. How will people be kidnapping school children and you'll say there are just doing business.

Is kidnapping now a legit business recognised in Nigeria or what does El-rufai mean with that kind of statement?

You'll see Military men going to their hideouts to speak Hausa and beg armed terrorists, people that deserve bullet to their heads. You're begging even offering them money with the likes of Gumi negotiating for them.
Las las everybody must have sense.

Ghanians generally are smart people.. just watch how they'll go back to the drawing board to plan things out.

Most companies are already closing down in Nigeria and running to Ghana because of the environmemt there. I'm really proud of those youths.

Back home, na cows dey drag rights and space with human beings now.. we'll survive

You can't play Yorubas into doing your evil bidding.. your failed part 2 of EndSars and EndLagos should have taught you lesson but no, you lots don't learn.
Lagos still stands strong till date despite unwarranted attacks from Kanu's foot soldiers.

I implore our South West leaders to do the needful on the release of Igboho and his aides, there are more prudent ways to address issues on ground. A Yoruba son must emerge as president in 2023.

This was IPOB's aim all along.. to drag Yorubas into their agitation to have a sense of purpose but y'all have failed.

The same Nmadi Kanu incited violence against Yorubas, asked his followers to kill Pastor Adeboye and other prominent Yorubas if they enter Biafraland. The dingbat didn't stop there, he even went as far as telling IPOBs to hijack a peaceful EndSars protest to wreck carnage and destructions in Lagos. We'll never forget.

Yorubas are not fooled by Igbo antics to destroy a country they contribute next to nothing to.

Pack your things and go back to the East if you're truly serious about biafra, we're not f00ls.

Racoon:
My take is that bandits and BH terrorists who are the real threat to the sovereignty of this failed country are not being pursued with this gusto the terrorist-laden govt is arresting seperatists whose coming were as a result of the government's complicity.Some people are simply untouchable because of where they come from.

The North are not as smart as they think.. people are the government and government is the people.

Most countries like United States have concluded that bandits, Bokoharam etc. enjoy State sponsorship with key Northern elites, even sitting governors in the loop. Bishop Kukah's comments to the International community has also made this government unpopular with the way the banditry and kidnapping issues are being handled.

Nothing lasts forever.. sooner or later, this country might end up dividing. Some professors have started making case that Lord Lugard's 1914 amalgamation elapsed years ago after a 100 year period. We're watching how things play out.

I know it's a dream come true for you Ipobians.. you have used rope to tie Igboho's neck into terrorism watch list with IPOB and now you're glad your Kanu is not the only one in custody.

Maybe now you'll forget Kanu and move on with life.

@OP no need to jubilate cos no harm will come to Igboho.. las las they'll settle it at the top and free him.

KGD10:
Will you all keep quiet?.
I have been looking at you fooools throwing shades at Yorubas just because some people questioned Obi wealth? What's there if his wealth is questioned? Una dey ment or what? Is it the first time that people question others' wealth? You dingbats are the ones opening stupid threads everywhere to attack Yorubas everywhere or shouting Afonja in every Obi threads even when nothing has been said! You dey ment?

Maybe if your Obi had thrown a huge party to celebrate his mother's birthday while she was alive, maybe people wouldn't question his wealth. Even when Adenuga threw a huge party for his mother burial, vanity people still talked about it and questioned him, so what's the hullabaloo about?

It's persecution complex that is disturbing them.. imagine if PMB or PYO was Igbo, no tribe would be allowed to criticize or say anything negative about them.

The same people are all over the net soiling the name of Tinubu and other perceived enemies of theirs, yet noone is talking.

Danzakidakura:
The children of fallen demons are filled with hate against the Igbos right from the time of Awolowo hate against Zik of Africa

Noone would have known Zik if not for Sir Herbert Macaulay a Yoruba man who handed over the party he formed to Zik.. After Zik, which other politician can you boast about with exploits from your region? NONE!

Fast forward to 2021.. you're hoping that Tinubu a yoruba man will let go of all he worked for in APC to give Igbo Presidency ticket.. If you people continue like this, 100 years will come and you won't smell presidency.

Bhet Obi cubana made his money from Nigerians from North to East to South to West.. so what's the big deal if people criticize him?

So because he is Igbo.. others shouldn't have opinion or express displeasure with him?

But you all wake up daily calling Tinubu that governed only Lagos all sort of names, you insult Buhari, PYO and co as you please.

You better grow up.. for him to put the display in our faces means he should expect praises and backlash alike.

Most Southerners see the Nigeria to Niger railway project as wasteful and biased.. have we fixed all the railways and bad roads in the South that we'll go and borrow money to construct railway to Niger Republic?

Garba Shehu shouldn't expect everyone to keep quiet over what saddens majority of the people.See insecurity and killings everywhere.
With the growing debt profile of Nigeria and no clear cut means of repayment, you still want to add Niger Republic project to our burden. o wrong now.

Northerners live a very simple life.. they don't care about your expensive wines and whatnot. It's in North you'll see a multi-millionaire drinking fura, sachet water and the likes.. very simple folks

Our Eastern brothers are not doing bad too to be honest, they carry themselves along outside their region. They try to form click in any place and push a front. If only they could rally themselves to develop their region the same way they do in other places.

So after Nzeogwu coup killed leaders and senior Military officers of other tribes except Igbos... Fajuyi still felt okay to die with a man like Ironsi?

Well, that was then.. now everyone is O.Y.O on your own.

LASG is not doing enough if you ask me.. stop giving people approval to erect illegal structures in flood prone areas.

This one is still warning o.. not with the climate crisis the world is facing now.

mancoconut:
Yeah you're right... we saw how Tinubu tarred and plated his home town Iragbiji in Osun state with gold roads... and Mike Adenuga built diamonds and emeralds in Ogun state which ranks among the states with the worst roads in Nigeria... clown.

Lmfao
The thing pain you no be small.

So he has all these and he is walking happily on untarred road in his village Oba.. who do Igbos this thing to always abandon their homelands and people?

Princeton92:
[/b]If a university in Africa has been producing architects, engineers, building economists and interior designers for over 40 years… and the same university’s modern buildings are designed by Chinese consultants, such a university should just close down.

If a country has been unable to redeem her people from poverty after 50 years of independence and several regime change-overs, maybe such a country should be handed back to her colonial masters or outsource leadership from economies that deliver tangible results for their people, not political rhetoric.[b]

This thing you mentioned is a very sad trend with Africans especially Nigerians.. to always worship any skin colour that isn't Black.

The Chinese have been the ones executing contracts since the days of Obasanjo when we have indigenous firms and trained Engineers here. It has gotten so bad now that Engineering graduates now work as casual workers for less trained to untrained Chinese "expatriates". Just because you see a Chinese national, you automatically believe he is the best for a job over your fellow countrymen.

Same is happening in the Sports industry. Look at how they treat indigenous coaches like shlt but worship a white skinned coach and even paying him more with nothing to show for it.We seriously need to change our mentality in this country else things like yahoo yahoo and fraud will continue to gain ground.

@OP go straight to the point.. Nigerians especially those in South Eastern part should stop worshipping money.

It's only in Igboland that a boy will leave home with one nylon bag with no school cert. or degree but after some years will come back with big Jeep and other exotic things to show off.. Igbo people should question the source of their wards wealth.

There is one Igbo actor languishing in UK prison till date for drug trafficking. One fine actor like that, just that I don't know the name. A bright career wasted in the quest for quick money.

In our place, we have a belief.. oruko rere is better than wura ati fadaka

Please stick with chief priests or ifa priests.. there is nothing like dibia in Yoruba language.

Nice one.

Ok we know it's show biz and media hype.. can we rest now?

Shina pellar get money pass Obi cubana.

murphyibiam15:
Niger state is bigger than SW except lagos which is a different colony for all Nigerians

No be your fault.. if the Oba and irunmoles in Lagos say you should drown in the lagoon now, you'll start crying to ICC and the likes. Yeye!
Colony my foot.

SensualMan1:
Can I know any yoruba business man that has money? None

They will mention Tinubu, Adenuga

Just two or thlee billionaires flom Anambra will shut down yoruba land.

Seu.n of nairaland get money pass your billionaires in Anambra yet he is humble.

MC Oluomo will buy Obi cubana ten times over. Should I mention Otedola? his money can sink your entire region.

Take several seats abeg.

No social distancing with the deadly delta strain of Corona in town now..

Africans and carelessness.
