So who is the real slave here? The one that perpetually setup organisation for the elongation of the northern regime's tenure or the one that asked for regional autonomy at the last confab.
Use your head dude. I bet by 2018 as we have seen in recent history, we will see another igbo man asking buhari to continue for another term.

rubbish as usual.......but when the elders of the south west sold the same abiola for a pot of porridge this grown man didn't remember that......for the 8 years of obasanjo he refused to immortalise june 12 as democracy day.....he didn't even recognise abiola.......how is that an igbo mans problem? When the same abiola made sure that awo never became president,how is that the igbo mans problem? I think its best this yoruba op should desist from this hypocritical advice to the igbos and face your people...... Do not support the way this biafra thing is going on and I will definately not support foo.lish rants like these.....
Shame on you!!
Is this all you can say? Is the topic about June 12? Did you not read where I said "and the rest is history"? Is June 12 the only point I raised?
Confab was constituted last year and the SW was clamoring for regional autonomy; state police etc. If you online Biafra warriors had mounted pressures and gathered support for your representatives to also ask for similar reform, Biafra would have been much easier. Guess what your reps asked for - an extra state in NIGERA! Why should your reps agigate for an extra state/stake in country you now desperately want to leave. Hypocrites!
A really big shame on you
PoliticsREPLY: Why Is The South West Not Clamoring For Secession? by gists(op):
Why disturb us with Biafra?
FUll disclosure: I am a full blown Yoruba man with no blood ties to other ethic group.
I usually feel unconcerned by the secession proponent because I strongly believe any group of people have the right to determine what is best for them. AND THAT INCLUDE THE CALL FOR BIAFRA.

Ordinarily, I also don't give a damn about the operation of the so called radio biafra because truth-be-told NADECO also operated a radio station! BUT the only difference is that NADECO did not incite the people against the nation and I don't recall any call by NADECO for people to take up arms. We have read the reports of the call for 1 million rifles and 1 million men to carry the rifles. This is where I get concerned and particularly because I see a huge disconnect in recent history and this hypocritical call for the cessation movement.

June 12 elections was cancelled and the rest is history. But do we remember the role played by the Association of Better Nigerians (ABN) - better known as the Area Boys of Nigeria. That association was in the fore front of clamoring for the cancellation of that election and seek the elongation of the Babangida regime. That association was created by a prominent Igbo man - Aurthur Nzeribe. The question is where were the secessionist wailing babies when one of their prominent fathers pioneered the extension of a military regime led by a Hausa man at the detriment of their southtern brothers/neighbours?

We all know (except for a few babies on nairaland) the amazing role played by another prominent Igbo son - Daniel Kanu in the call for the extension of yet another military junta led by non other than the infamous Abacha. May we ask again why there was no call for Biafra creation. Daniel Kanu also form an organisation call Youth Earnerstly Ask for Abach (YEAA) and organised 1-million man march in supporto of Abacha's proposed transition from military to civilian president. I guess Nnamdi Kanu hadn't received his Biafra calling at that time. By the way, I will like to see how Buhari will respond to this man when he tries to renew his Nigerian Passport grin grin

We also know of a certain Ifeanyi Uba who also setup TAN to campaign for GEJ's second term bid. Yet again the wailers didn't see the need to call for Biafra and in fact supported and campaigned for GEJ's second term bid as Nigerian president.

Honestly, all of the above cases didn't pain me. The one that infuriate me the most is the fact that the father of Biafra himself the late IKEMBA OJUKWU FORMED A POLITICAL PARTY AND CONTESTED ELECTION TO BE PRESIDENT, MANY OF THESE WAILING BABIES DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!

All of a sudden they hypocritically remember "Their Was a Country" to be re-created when their hero GEJ lost woefully in the last election. Now they will not let us rest and asking fo0lish question why the Yorubas are not calling for cessation? Well we also ask why should the some people alway seek the approval of other tribes to validate their ego. Is this not a big sign of low self esteem?

Thank God their is life outside the internet. I have met and worked with many Igbos in real life and they are very reasonable people and far from the wailing babies on Nairaland.

So CNN calls Nigeria a Muslim country - so damn what? Even if it is not true does that make Emeka less a Christian. Will that force Bayo to start attending Jumat prayers? Will it convert David Mark to an Imam?
I don't have the statistics of the demographs, but CNN can call Nigeria a Budist nation if they want - fact remains I know the God I serve and no article on CNN, Routers, BBC Aljazera etc can change that. And I guess same applies to everybody.

PoliticsRe: Opinion: Improved Power Supply Not Buhari's Efforts by gists: 1:04pm On Jul 20, 2015
PassingShot:
The capacity has always been there but absence of gas to power was a major issue. Now, the FG has approved a loan to achieve that. And with these companies knowing that under PMB, such loan must be utilized for what given, they cannot afford to do as they used to under GEJ.
I have always said it that political will the missing link to constant electricity supply. How come many other private entities have sufficient gas to run their power turbines.

So you may not be far from the truth with your Buhariphobia theory.
We don't need any sensless bloody revolution that will lead to the death of millions. What we need an upright leader that will "dare" anybody to misbehave. Buhari fits that profile perfectly.

I just hope the TANoids especially the Biafra wing will be sincere and honest enough to eat their words about PMB having a pro north/islamic agenda. Within a week, this administration appointed Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas who hails from Cross River State as the Chief of Naval Staff and now has arrested a top ranking Northern figure in caliber of Dasuki. PMB just proved that he is really for EVERYBODY and NOBODY.

You see what this people are doing to us? Now you remind me that Olise replaced Keshi. But I just remember that Keshi himself replaced Siasia; Siasia took over from Augustine Eguavoen. The north and the west did not complain all this while. Quite possibly, Olise will hand over to Dan Amokachi or Nnankwo or Okocha grin grin
PoliticsRe: Service Chiefs, The Igbo And Case For Fairness, Equity by gists: 5:13am On Jul 16, 2015
But sometimes people should be consistent with their claims and what they want.
On one hand, their is this call for cessation. People wanting to leave Nigeria and form their own country called Biafra. The next minute this same people complain at the slightest opportunity to register their displeasure about not being carried along within the appointees of the Nigerian government - a country they so much desire to leave.

On one hand they claim Biafra encompasses the whole of SS and SE. While the veracity of that claim is subject of another debate, one would think they will at least be pacificed that "one of their sons" Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas who hails from Cross River State is now the new the new Chief of Naval Staff - appointed by president Buhari.
But what do we have, this same people now complain yet again that they are yet again marginalised by Nigera. This cast serious shadows of doubt about the sincerity of those saying SS should join the Biafra bandwagon. It is of course left to the people of SS to determine which way is best for them.

They claim they developed Lagos and so deserve to have a good representation in the Lagos government. But when we point out their son within the cabinet of the government of Lagos, they yet again claim Igbokwe does not represent the interest of Ndigbo in Lagos. The question I keep asking is, is it until the Obi or Nnamdi Kanu is appointed by Lagos or FG that they'll be pacified?

I am definitely not in the business of advising people and it is certainly not my business, but I guess for any group to be taken seriously, they need to be consistent with what they want/claim.

They should take a lesson from man they so much hate with passion - Jagaban Tinubu- who refused to join the ruling party from inception and now his consistency has paid off for him. If history is anything to go by as a pointer, I bet by 2018, we will see some people from SE calling for Buhari to continue as the life president. Just as we saw with Abacha, OBJ and GEJ

If you have to, you will trade your Nigerian passport for the opportunity to go to the United ARAB EMIRATE - a full-fledged Islamic country where Sharia law is practiced at its fullest!

Are there some muslims that are happy with what BH is doing? My guess is yes there may be some. But to generalise and say myself and many other muslims are happy with their terror activities shows how unreasonable your thinking is. In fact, I am tempted to say Naija christians like you are the one that are somewhat happy with what BH are doing.

The real reason Boko Haram is still yet to be defeated is because they enjoy wide spread tacit support from northern Muslims.
The very first statement put me off as this is obviously from another bigot trying to malign anything islam and north.
I guess the northern (especially the muslims) are very happy with the several bomb blasts in the mosques up north. So happy that they even lynched and killed people on the ground of suspicion that they had bomb on them.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/175049-angry-youth-stone-suspected-boko-haram-member-death-kano.html
An unidentified man was Friday lynched in Kano on suspicion he belonged to the deadly sect, Boko Haram.
The man was stoned to death by hundreds who gathered near Kano Central Mosque shortly before the commencement of Friday prayers.

The attackers said the man arrived at the area with an explosive material and a gun.
Spotted, a group of youth chased him from Karkasara to the Central Mosque where he was rounded up and stoned to death.

The Kano Police spokesperson, Musa Majiya, confirmed the incident.
He however said security operatives arrived at the scene promptly but could not trace any of the alleged weapons the man was accused of carrying.

Mr. Magaji, an Assistance Superintendent of Police, said because the unproved allegation, police had commenced investigation into what actually happened.
He warned the public against taking laws into their hands whenever they suspected anything untoward, saying it could lead to attacks on innocent people.
The attack came more than two months after Boko Haram launched a devastating bomb and gun attacks on the central mosque killing more than 100 people.
http://www.punchng.com/news/mob-kills-suspected-bomber-in-kano/
A suspected bomber met his waterloo in Kano on Wednesday as he was apprehended and killed by an angry mob near the Emir of Kano’s palace

The suspected bomber was said to have been apprehended immediately after setting off an Improvised Explosive Device near a Mosque very close to the palace of the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero on Wednesday night.

The aggrieved residents were said to have defied the explosion, which went off at Kofar Fatalwa by the Kano Central Mosque, and arrested one of the bombers, who had arrived on a tricycle to set off the bomb.

It was learnt that the residents pursued the terrorists after the blast, and burnt one of the men before handing over the other to security operatives.

The spokesperson for the Joint Task Force in Kano, Ikedioha Iweha, confirmed the explosion.

He also confirmed that no one died from the explosion, itself.

It will be recalled that the Emir escaped an assassination attempt on January 19 when gunmen threw an IED at his convoy.

All I know is that over 90% of Nigerians are either Muslims or Christians. The two groups believes that in the begining God created Adam and Eve. We both believe that this God is ALL POWERFULL (i.e whatever HE does is final and no one can question or reverse HIS decision) and ALL KNOWING (i.e so FULL of wisdom that all KNOWLEGDE emanate from HIM)

SO if this God is most knowledgeable, how come he chose to create Adam and Eve. Why didn't he create ADAM and John; or Adam and Peter; or Eve and Sandra; or Eve and Mary?
He could have chosen to create Adam and Moses after all, he is all powerful and no one can question him. BUT in HIS infinite WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and POWER, HE chose to create ADAM and EVE.

In fact, virtually all his creations has some form of duality (opposite) - like Night and day; Hot and Cold, The sky Up and oceans Down, Pleasure and pain.

Our knowledge is soooooo intangible compared to His yet we feel we are smart enough and want to correct God.
I am not a fan of Mugabe of Zimbabwe but he gave a food for thought when he was reported to have said "even satan (presumably male) approached Eve"
