There is nothing like collective punishment. The coup plotters were long dead before most Easterners were born. They were soldiers and had zero vote to represent anybody.

Why should people who knew nothing about the military take responsibility for military actions?

Even if we wanted to stop them, we do not have the power. There is absolutely no reason to hold the generality of Igbos accountable for action of few military officers

y don't u collectively condemn them as Igbos then?

When gbenga adeyinka grandson realised he had no support he was easily defeated but when nnamdi kanu n ekpa realised they had support they wax stronger

U want us to believe u Igbos didn't support it but u applauded them after d coup

U can't change history

Look at d label of this bread n how Igbos mocked d north

iwaeda:
You people are funny. Go to dump site around you.

u Igbos should know we are used to all these your madness n e don cast

Y don't u try another format?

Scavenging strips people of human dignity — Sociologists
Also looking at the social implication of the issue, sociologists said scavenging or begging for food strips people of human dignity.

The sociologists, Professor Bisi Ajala of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State and Associate Professor Samuel Oluranti of the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo, opined that scavenging for food is not part of the African culture and has become pronounced because of serious economic hardship in the land.

They therefore, called on the government to put in place various social safety nets to reduce poverty in the land.

Ajala said: “The consequences are in the health, social and even political areas. Food that people scavenge for are leftovers that may have been exposed to the elements of weather. The food items may have gone bad. It could have been feasted on by flies and other disease vectors.

“From the social angle, it is demeaning and erodes the status of those who engage in it. The biggest implication is on the larger society. Development is measured with regards to the well-being of the citizens and when you talk about the well-being of the people, food is an essential component. If you don’t eat well, you may not be healthy and when you are not healthy, how can you be useful to the society?
“If the citizens are not feeding well, then it means the society has zero development. Food is basic. If the citizens are now limited to scavenging to survive, then the society is gone. Also, what that shows is that the production level in the society is also low. Production cannot be in high level and people won’t have what to eat.

“If a large portion of the society is now left to scavenge to survive, then, what type of leaders would they produce? There will be no opportunity to produce good leaders. People would have been turned to beggars and any token thrown at them would seem like a lifeline.”

In his opinion, Oluranti blamed abject poverty in the land for the menace.

“Poverty has led people into doing this. That is the main cause of the ugly practice. It is not African. People don’t like to beg for food. Food that they don’t know who prepared and for what purposes. I have seen that a number of times.

“It is a ridiculous thing. Those who engage in it are looked down upon. Begging is not part of our culture and people have their ego they want to protect and which they want others to respect. It exposes people to ridicule and can negatively affect the reputation of a family. If for instance, the person who goes out to scavenge or beg is seen by somebody who knows her, it would become a matter of gossip here and there.

“When you take a child along to do that, you are teaching him or her how to beg, how to be dependent on others. In that way, the ugly trend would continue. We know some people who do that and you can see that their children somehow inherit such abnormal practice from them. A child that is taken along to beg for food is also exposed to ridicule and his esteem taken down to the lowest level.

“There should be a way to take care of the poor. Social policies must be put in place to alleviate the poverty people face. The sharing of palliatives in public places is not the solution. That is why we had those terrible incidents in Ibadan, Abuja and Okija. Social safety nets must be put in place.

“It is also unfortunate that the extended family bond has broken down in our society. In those days, people who were better off were helping others to train and take care of their children but now, that is no longer the situation.”

Igbos n their garbage

U people no dey tire

DMerciful:
You're sounding as though those coupist got mandate from the generality of Igbos. Nobody voted for them so they represent no one.

Are you saying soldiers from your tribe in the Nigerian army carry your mandate?

so they didn't carry d generality of Igbos but u Igbos hailed them after d war n u even created labels taunting them by making nzeogwu an angel n sarduana a devil

U will continue paying for it

DMerciful:
You know nothing. Read an independent account of what happened before, during and after the civil war.

bring us d independent event

Which of d point I stated there isn't correct?

DMerciful:
I asked you if the soldiers got mandate from the generality of Igbos, you couldn't answer

where did u ask me that one?

Don't b unfortunate

Elusive001:
Which one were your people?

The victims?

The villains?

Tell us.

the hero who stopped d war without firing a single shot

Samantha125:
Hell yeah... Even my siblings and I never took care of our mother... Her husband is busy spoiling her ..

even if my mother have 50 billion I will still take care of her

CSTRR:
I thought igbos were the ones without an empire.?

So now they are "land grabbers"?
How can you be a land grabber if you don't have an history of empires?

You are a world class fool.

that last line is for your father

rummmy:
because they were not available to be killed

Samantha125:
But you guys would also be asking us to choose between our fathers and you.

madam u are talking rubbish

U really don't understand the Nigerian culture about family, no sane man will ask his wife that question

It's an unwritten rule in Nigeria that the wife will love his family more than the husband

All husband knows about it n won't bother to ask

Samantha125:
Your mother is supposed to be your father's responsibility and not yours, she nurtured you because it was her duty as a mother.

Or do you now want to be her husband?

so ur children should not take care of u cos u are their fathers responsibility?

onuman:
Igboland backward? You are in your dungeon from where you perceive Igboland as backward. Mind you Igbos are the most forward looking set of Nigerians. Deny this and remain blindfolded as you are.

y can't they build another place better than Lagos in their region?

Cement finish?

onuman:
For a country to be, every citizen can build and settle in any part of the country.

Your most ShophistiWretched people don't recognise this, yet they clutch tight on one Nigeria.
Don't you people know that the rich countries of the world did not become rich through exploit of their crude oil and gas deposits?

leave story

If u Igbos built Lagos, why not build a better place better than Lagos in your economic desert?

Y not develop your region to d extent that people will b running to your region d way Igbos are running to other regions

All my life I haven't seen anyone pack their load n say they want to go n hustle in Igbo land

Even u Igbos see those Igbos in igbo land as people not serious with their lives

U see it as backwardness for people to leave south west n go back to d east

onuman:
You have been spewing cruelty all over the thread. Lagos was built with proceeds from crude oil in the Niger delta region, as well as with proceeds from taxes on Igbo and rest of Nigeria.
Akinola Aguda was used to relocate Nigeria's capital from Lagos to Abuja. Loads of the Yoruba in Lagos then left Lagos for Abuja.
Most of the Igbos in Lagos remained. Their relations joined them. Together they contributed and still contribute taxes that built and builds Lagos.
Enter Tinubu and Bayo Onanuga with their likes in Aso Rock, they now abuse power.

if u Igbos can build something like Lagos to an enviable standard according to u

Y not build your region to that standard too?
Cement finish?

onuman:
But your lust for cheap cash from crude oil in Igboland and rest of the Niger delta region keeps your sort tied to one Nigeria including
the Igbo you visit with your cruelty which you see as humbling.

Your lot are like passengers clutching tight to a sinking ship because the ship contains valuables.

Arewas are even clamouring more than your people these days for dissolution of dysfunctional Nigeria.

typical Igbo n gibberish

See Igbos weak attempt to clapback

Now they all have admitted their governors are failures, if we pick sanwo olu or zulum over these ones tomorrow then all hell will lose

Cc
Yarimo
Helinues
Livingsage

Now everyone is admitting that south east governors fail in security

If by chance tomorrow election pitch these ones against those who did well in all aspects n we pick them over these ones

Igbos will start calling us names.

This is the same way they all jointly admitted that Peter obi failed as governor n even monikers like mrvitalis, abagworo n co created threads to warn up about him but today if u remind them of everything they said about obi, they will call for your head

helinues:
Okay.. We go help him to waste another time with court process .

Some allegations might be resurrected

don't mind these yeye op

Na keyboard James bond, nnamdi kanu, ekpa n this nwajiagu Dey jail e no go join them but after much stress this one finally come out n d mugu op is telling him to go n start another wahala that he won't join them to fight

Gustavowhite:
Na only for Yoruba mouth we dey hear say Individuals fit steal oil,I have been to many oil rich States and many of them from that area no fit boast say them done chop 7,500 naira from Oil money

at least y not leave them to b whoever they are once they claim they ain't Igbo?

Pappyjim:
I wonder why N'digbo just like to gather people to join them by force!
Make my Ikwerre people wise up and not give in to those cunning people to buy them over!
We are not Igbo and can never be Igbo!!!

they just want to claim Rivers state so as to have access to your oil.

Give them few months now they will start adding rivers state to their Biafra region

For their mind them think say them get sense

One day they will give ohaneze to an epe or badagry person so they can claim Lagos too

gidgiddy:
Some two years ago, Eze Fredrick Nwajiagu, the self styled 'Eze Ndigbo Ajao Estate' made a video that went viral. Incensed at the repeated attacks on Igbo businesses in Lagos, and threats to Igbos from certain quarters not to participate in elections in Lagos, he threatened to invite IPOB to Lagos to protect Igbo interests.

For that, he was arrested, charged for terrorism, charged with financing terrorism and belonging to IPOB. He was clamped detention and denied bail. Some of us have said it here that terrorism is one of the most serious crimes one can commit. That's why terrorism is not mere words alone, it must involve action

Unserious Nigerians have reduced a serious issue such as terrorism to mere words. Nwajiagu has gone to court, the prosecution could not show anything he did, they could only show what he said. Naturally, the courts discharged the man. It's said that he was convicted of parading him self as King of Lagos, when has 'Eze Ndigbo' become a Lagos title? It's good that his lawyers have appealed that decision, and I hope the Judge who gave such a ridiculous judgment will be sanctioned

I urge Nwajiagu to sue the DSS and any authority involved in his unjust arrest and two year detention. This nonsense of commiting 'terrorism by mouth' needs to stop

person wey pass u flog u n u couldn't do anything n after him release u, u still wan go call police

Even the man go Dey hide someone now

Streetinvestor2:
You just said nothing with you low iQ.Is obvious you have exchanged your anus for the brain.
T pain days are numbered after rigging. We will beat the SW in its game.After the coup card what is the next.will it be Kanu,Ipob or obi.
Tpain aligned with north to remove gej.He used north to rig himself into office. So the northern is the determinant factor.The SE is 5% The SW is equally political useless and economic useless besides monopoly lagos gets.
All the problems igbos ever encountered in the North was created by SW Muslim fanatics.You can go verify..Tell your paymasters to fund to travel round the North and see igbo population thr.Your worries will then increase. Tinubu lost abj still because of igbos

even if u Igbos queue behind Hitler

Yorubas go flog u n Hitler together

IGBOPROMISE1:
Only a naive or uninformed person will not hear the voice of Jacob but feel the hand of Esau in all this!

Y are u people begging for unity?
When did u Igbos turn unity beggars?

IGBOPROMISE1......at least no b Yoruba person write this one

Creativeseeker1:
Omo the river is scary

it will always b scary

IGBOPROMISE1:
Can see this OPs profile was created mainly for his anti-Igbo agenda on this forum!

Dude, over the years how has Ikwerre claiming they’re not Igbo enhanced their socio-cultural and economic progress as a people!? Seems to me that the only people getting a kick out of Ikwerre claiming not to be Igbo are some Yoruba and Fulani intent on ensuring Alaigbo is limited to the area their fathers hemmed us into in 1967….and intent on giving traction to the false narrative that Alaigbo is ‘landlocked’!

so ikwere people reject Igbos now n instead of facing them an Igbo man is crying about yorubas

Can't u Igbos face d ikwere that are denying u?
What's yorubas own with the fact that ikwere people say they don't want to have anything to do with igbos

kedeojo:
They don't finally free him, let him go and sin no more. Adult behaving childish. After God na government.

At least he had learnt his lesson the hard way n he won't run his mouth like tap again

Next time he will think before he acts so he won't end up like ojucrook, nnamdiot kanu n Simon epa

Gustavowhite:
I didn’t read these you wrote,inconsequential but have it in the back of your mind(if you still have one) that Nobody put a gun to his head to contest,so there was no forcing like your Yorubas claim

but despite d majority opposition from his people u rushed to give him so u can claim Rivers state as Igbo right n steal their oil?

U never see anything, u know say rivers people Dey stubborn well well, them go show u Igbos hell
