Silly excuse. Why didn't she bring the plight of her people to the attention of those who were meant to electrify the place? Was money voted for the project or not? Does that town fall under a DISCO or not? Are residents of that town not expected to be connected to the national grid? Or she just chose to ignore their sufferings because she and her family could afford to fuel their own generator 24x7?

And to think that her father, is one of the traditional rulers in that axis.... _smh!

Did anyone tell you she didnt bring the plight of her people to the appropriate authorities? That she did so does not mean anything will be done.

I dont know what Igbos will gain from the presidency of Nigeria. What did others gain?

We should be talking about important things not the Presidency of Nigeria.

The zoo must fall!

kropotkin2:
Is that so? Then what are you guys waiting for? You think insulting people on facebook and a rouge radio station is gonna get you guys a country ba?

Why not? Lord Lugard did far worse and it got you guys Nigeria didnt it?



I like how power is decentralised in that organogram, however, it might have to go to a vote to make sure it is agreeable to all

ehinmowo:
I think d best thing 2 do to seccessionists is to jst ignore them and allow dem to excite themselves

Thats what Britain said when America began agitating for independence from it.

Today, America is not only independent, it is the grestest country in the world.

SalamRushdie:
Common she was in a position to Influence it beleive me

Yes she was but it still wasnt her job to electrify her village. Half of all Nigerians dont have access to eletricity and most of them have had sons and daughters in positions of influence

SalamRushdie:
This is how they start out very neat and promising in the academy but transform into something else after just 6 months of being corrupted by the first DPO they serve under upon graduation

Did you say 'start out neat'? These ones have already started to discuss what level of bribe they will charge when they pass out into the police force.

SalamRushdie:
Yet she served in very powerful capacities under 2 presidents ..Leadership in Nigeria is something else

.
.

Still not her job to eletrify the place.

Nigeria is holding Igbos back. When I remember that Gambia is just 2 million people and an independent country, I wonder what Igbos are doing inside Nigeria

Ifeanyi Ubah is thinking about his enomous petroleum Tank Farm in Lagos.

Of course Igbo are an endangered people in Nigeria, Igbos have already lost over 3 million souls to 'one Nigeria'.

I would never wish for me and my fellow Igbos to be in a country that has the potential to kill us in the millions and have done so in the past.



Ohaneze have been missing the sort of leader in Nnia Nwodo

??

This is not an IPOB protest. There is no way IPOB will hold a protest and you dont see one single Biafran flag or people dressed in Biafran colours

Amnesty international has forensic examined data, eyewitness accounts, videos, pictures etc


This digraceful Brigadier called Rabe Abubakar came with nothing bur mere words.

optional1:
no need wasting my time to watch video when topic has said it all...





#oneNigeria
#notobiafran

Dont mind the fake news caster. I watched the video, Pete Edochie did not say anything about Biafra or Biafrans. Pete Edochie was simply talking about Igbos being united. He said absolutely nothing about Biafra

Nice one for the Kanu family

This is how APC will be planning to rig the Governorship elections in a place like Anambra where nobody likes them

It is a very bad thing for any one person in Nigeria to hold the position of executive president and commander in chief of the Armed forces at the same time

APC has come to Etche, Igbo land to cause problems

Nice one to IPOB. Self determination is a right of man.

Of three main ethnic groups in Nigeria, Igbos were the only ones who never had an empire. Pre-historic Nigeria, Igbos, as large as they were as an ethnic group, never tried to conquar the smaller ethnic groups around them.

Igbos are a confederate people, bound by ideology, tradition and language but fiercly indepedent. No traditional ruler can ever claim sovereignty over Igbos like the Alafin of Oyo can over Yorubas or the Sultan of Sokoto can over Hausa/Fulani.

Igbos are confederates, that is the only reason they could unite under Ojukwu to fight a war of independence but cant unite any other Igbo that seeks a 'unitary Nigeria'.

Had Ojukwu won the Biafran war and established Biafra, there would have been a 'given period' for him to tranform from a military dictator to 'confederate leader' with powers devolved to the people, or Igbos and the minorities that make up Biafra would risen up against him too.

ehissi:
Does anyone even notice that the only people alive in that photo are Yoruba........

Not true, Emmanuel Udeaja is still alive. This picture was like a meeting of military officers and politicians at a 'Nigerian House' in Britain. I noticed the picture of Zik on the wall so this means it was after october 1st 1960.

If this picture is actually 1960, and it looks that way, it was any time between october 1st of that year and December 31st.


Ademulegun commisioned in 1949 would have been a Colonel here

Ojukwu, commissioned in 1957, (Although his commission date was back dated to 1955) would have been a a captain here.

Obasunjo and Udeaja, both commissioned in 1960 would have been Lieutenants here

This is a historic picture, at the time, most of these men tbought that Nigeria would become a nation where everyone would see each other as brothers. None of them, living or dead, ever saw it.

Mekwen:
And Igbo messing up in Nigeria.IRONY OF LIFE

No irony, its not Igbos who are begging to be part of ' one Nigeria'.

They actally fought a war to get out of it

Ekinematics:
Abeg just shut up.

I take it you are one of the South/South people? Please, who are the North/North or West/West people?

Clemzzz:
Stop displaying your ignorance on this platform. That South South is not recognized in the constitution of Nigeria is a show of foolishness of highest order!

I challenge you to show me anywhere the constitution of Nigeria where the term 'South/South' is recognised.


South/South is just a geopolitical zone the Government of Abacha created for economic planning. In reality, it has no meaning.

khalids:
I saw this post in another thread and I thought it was worth discussing about.
Does this perception of the African man by Lord Lugard, hold water.......is this this right. What are our thoughts about his views

Of course Lord Lugard had supremacist views. He regarded the African as a barbarian. Maybe he is right because the same Africans later slaughtered themselves to the tune of over 3 million souls just to uphold the colonial contraption he (Lugard) created.

The same African is still answering the name Lugard and his wife invented



Lugard thought Africans (Nigerians) were barbarians and we proved him right by still keeping his torch burning instead of going to find our own torch

haywire1:
Bros na wa for u oooo, they advised u to go school but u insisted on selling spare part at ladipo, when did Rivers state turns igboland...

We all know rivers state is prone to violence so d presence of military is needed to reduce d biafraudd hiding inside our rivers state

In the voice of Asari Dokubo "There are only 3 ethnic groups in Rivers state, Ijaw, Ogoni and Igbo"

Clemzzz:
Our Geography teacher taught us that Rivers State is in the South -South of Nigeria and not in Igboland.

Really? Did your Geography teacher also tell you that South South is a ficticious name, created by Abacha, that is not even recognised in the constitution?

perfectgabby:
Is River state igboland?, certainly you need a physician.

Did I say anything about Rivers? I meant Etche land. Thats like asking if Rivers is Ijawland.

[quote author=0b10010011 post=54024725]When did Rivers state become Igbo Land?[/quote


Rivers state state doesnt mean anything, its just a name Gowon came up with in 1967.

What I meant was Etche land were the incident occured
