Mraphel:
They should get it from Atiefku or inec server.
Is rude, arrogant and shameful to dictate to the president Buhari this way

"What happened to Igbos are not interested in Nigerian politics, we are only after our businesses "?

Yorubas did not threatened to leave the country the time they lost the election. Why always IGBOS.
When Yoruba demanded positions from Goodluck Jonathan that they voted in high numbers for, my people insulted that hell out of them. Dullnathan supported them by giving the Yorubas nothing but expecting vote from their region.

Did you know it was when my people supported Goodluck Ebele Jonathan he became a pure badluck looser?

Jonathan marginalized the people of the South West that gave him the highest votes in the Southern part. My Igbo amateur political orators hailed his gestures. This led to his downfall.

GOD bless you, Mraphel. You are a detribalized son of the East. God reward your objectivity and bless all that is connected to you. Amen.

Still wondering why super rich or rich Yoruba don't build or buy properties in other part of the country.

Well, as a man of many parts, I can answer you in my own little way.


• Yorubaland is a land where there is already the advantage of diverse cultures doing diverse businesses.

• It was at initially viewed as a disadvantage, but today it has come to be an advantage. (A typical Yoruba man in the 1940s to the late '60s would believe there were too many strangers in their lands, but today the diversity has given rise to many economic opportunities).

• Decently large land mass.

• There are few regions as advantaged (thriving industrial places, the most thriving Seaport and Airports) and hospitable (large pool of skilled and semi-skilled labour) as SW in Nigeria today.

• Good weather.

• Relative peace and security

• Advantage of having the commercial capital of Nigeria (Lagos) close to their region.

• From these indices you can understand the reasons.

• Be free to develop other points from these.

The most intelligent response i got so far. Weldone.

I hope others from other regions can add their voices some day. Because the real enemies of Nigeria are the political class.

My brother, your views are mature and intelligent.

This has nothing to do with 'igbo problem'

We fail to understand that politicians in this country only care for their pockets. No politician will come out and agree to break up the country since they get fat pay.

It is us, the masses that supposed to be fighting for this bro. I really dont know why we have refused to see this. Look at the deputy govt of Kogi state, just between 2017 to 2019, he was not paid fully, he is still have over 700 million naira as outstanding salary and allowances.

It is not only igbos who need the change of this system of govt, the entire country needs it. But what i dont understand is why the same masses who need it go about insulting those who are bold enough to come out and say it is needed.

Politicians in this part of the world are selfish. So, dont make it look like it is only igbos who need this. As it is in the south east, that is how it is in other regions. Nigeria is same. The same no stable electricity, same no water, same bad roads, same poor looking cities, same unemployment, same insecurity, same poor education, same poor health care. In fact, north is worse hit.

So, expecting politicians in the east to speak out wont work since other politicians too dont. It is when the masses like Biafran supporters come out and speak that they need this, the govt will do something.

Any way, since the masses love suffering, no wahala, the country will remain like this. Like someone told me few days ago, these criminals called politicians are already preparing their kids for political positions. They send them abroad for education, when they come back, they take them and give them political appointment, preparing them for future leaderships when they die. The children of the poor masses, the average and even the rich will continue to be slaves.

Nigerian masses, the most foolish ever. I mean, what has presidency benefited any region? Why cant Nigerians understand that political appointments and positions are not dividend of democracy? why? even graduates dont know this! Why?

Dividend of democracy is a working society.

It is an African thing, (only that it has the European name, Stockholm Syndrome) from the North up to South of Nigeria. But brethren from the East says they don't care who leads in one minute, the very next minute you hear "marginalization", so it is difficult to understand why they react to these types of comments (such as Junaid's).

A lot of the Easterners believes secession is the best option. Same for a limited few from other regions, but many are okay with status quo. Similar to the lot who were quick to tell us IBB was a very good leader because of the ill-gotten wealth many of his cronies stole and frittered away back in those days. Today, they know better.

In short, a Freedom Fighter in a clime, is a Terrorist against (to) another group.

The insurgency in the North is a classic example of this Syndrome. The fools among the Northerners were thinking Boko Haram was their means of achieving a voice in the Land while the power was with a Southerner. Today, they are enjoying (suffering) the dividends of that evil.

The first step at resolving Nigeria issues is solely by returning to the pre-independence Federation (or even a quasi-Regional) pattern.

It takes elected leaders a painfully long time to realize that we are all in the sh-t together. Are their children and businesses safe today? They are only marginally better off when the card packs start to tumble down.

Simple rule of a federating country. Never make any federating component feel unwanted, and never suppress any federating unit. Like one Yoruba writer once said, the current plan by apc may lead us into war.

If these guys think they will jointly suppress igbos, make we Brace up for another war be ghat. It is so unfortunate that we will allow these old, good for nothing leaders drag us into war again.

U don't make these type of comments man. Not on media. This is terrible. This man is shameless.

My dear, your observation is very decent. Only that SE is not helping itself.

Politics is a game of interest, intelligence and body language (polity).
Since the start of IPOB distraction and hate speeches, how many Igbo politicians have actively come out to denounce that ill-advised adventure?
At a convergence or at a gathering of politicians; leaders of other regions & power brokers would not really have much faith in the intentions of their colleagues from the SE.

A team of leaders from a region actively campaigning for the break-up of a company or a country has put itself at a disadvantage already.
‘’You can’t be trusted to lead a country your kids have threatened to burn down naaa”
Especially, when the elders from that place has made insignificant efforts at discouraging such pronouncements. If at all the adventure has been condemned by elected & respected SE leaders.

Their opposition (conventionally acceptable, though) and apathy of their people did them no favors. At the corridors of powers, our mean leaders have labelled the region as “5%ters” and you know that numbers are important in that game called politics.

The best leaders from the East can do is to ensure their region runs on a single voice. They have two options and both are WIN-WIN for them.
I. Choose to be Biafrans and be unapologetic about it but forgo whatever packages they are enjoying from their offices as leaders in Nigeria.

{It may be successful even, without bloodshed if they speak with same voice and are ready to forgo the luxuries of benefiting from Nigeria, YOU CAN’T EAT YOUR CAKE AND EXPECT TO STILL HAVE IT ON YOUR PLATE)}

II. Or stay with Nigeria and condemn their kids drumming for break-up.

If only they can take A STAND, they shall achieve success.
But Igbo problems are self-defeatism, internal division and indecision.

A drunk Tinubu is still better than Goodluck Jonathan. That's deep

REALLY DEEP.

: You don't know your history, Igbos been slaving for Hausa Fulani, pre and post independence spanning over fifty years, why do think your elders are called AGIP?.
Any government in power, abi no be this country we dey?, yeye dey smell.
History classes are back in Nigerian schools, do yourself a favor and join the classes, stop displaying your ignorance on the social media.

Chai, chai, chai!!! Naked Truth.

Greenarrow01:
Pla where re you
can we discuss.
Its okay pls.. There is a way out of everything..
Suicide is not and will never be the answer

Please, I need to appreciate the efforts you and many NLders have made in reaching out to that our person. Please let us know how he is faring. Much love & God bless.

selemempe:
i hope u are talking about abiola and opc members? Yes i agree

Truly, you are right, foolishness is universal. Nnamdi Kanu, Omokri, FFK etc are also bona-fide examples. May God save this land from such elements.

Their mission may be good, but they lack wisdom.

selemempe:
nzeogwu was no hero. He was a misguided young man. Exuberant and brash

His descendants are still plenty in the land, rash and brash fellows, who would rather act before thinking.

nkwuocha:
Na question i ask.
How many Omo ale ya father get?

Even your Papa, the He-goat cannot ask my dog a question. I believe you missed road.

VillagePipu:
You must be mistaking Tinubu for TA Orji who mortgaged the future of your generations and was given the title of Ochendo Ndigbo for wrecking you.

Ikpeazu his dog is forcing Igbos to drink kerosene.

Villa, please forgive the dimwit.

See, their lives in 4k HD below:

The only governor of the 1999-2007 class known to have stolen the state's funds and resources by the SE young adults is Tinubu.

Our own governors who stole us into penury are innocent and we have continued to love them, even though our parents and grand-parents are owed arrears of pensions and salaries ranging from 9-36 months resulting from mismanagement of funds and resources of our states.

Tinubu's 'class mates' between 1999-2007 in the SE were;

Orji Uzor Kau - Abia
Achike Udenwa- Imo
Chinweoke Mbadinuju - Anambra
Sam Egwu- Ebonyi
Chimaroake Nnamani - Enugu

None of these guys laid any foundation for our states. They stole and left everything haphazard. The much they did was to recruit successors who stole better than they did.

Within his imperfection, Tinubu laid a foundation for Lagos and as it appears, Lagos has continued to progress, however little it is. The same IPOB kids do not want to leave the Lagos they claim Tinubu has destroyed for their respective states - their Cannan full of milk and honey.

No IPOB child on FB ever mentions any of our loved thieves on comment threads as thieves who messed up our states - ONLY Tinubu. Are you from Lagos State? There is no 'dual-stateship' to my knowledge in Nigeria. Were your goverors personal assistants to Tinubu in their respective states?

Same Tinubu was a private citizen between 2007-2015 under the rulership of their master PDP. However, as unofficially agreed by us in spirit not in truth, our master PDP has only one job to do - STEAL, while we vote and hail their master.

For 8 years, Tinubu was ok under their master PDP. But it became the job of their hate personality, my good friend, Mr Okechukwu Buhari to crucify Tinubu on the cross with truck loads of 18-inch nails while their governors go to the same Lagos to buy and build houses. Do you not have shame?

Until my brothers and sisters learn to play politics OUT OF HATE, we will continue to be a laughing stock in our land.

Even the fool u posted sef worst pass you.Atkeast your stup1dity no reach him own.

Oponu

Las las, you showed the world how confused you are. Imagine how you contradicted yourself blatantly.


Obviously, your post have identified your level of stupidity.

Politics and intelligent matters are way beyond your IQ.

Go to jokes section and stop embarrassing yourself here.

Bye bye, clown.

nwanyionitsha:
You are the daft one here.
I have no time to read rubbish.
Kalu has no say concerning land anywhere in the east.

Mumu.

You are not intelligent enough for this type of discussion then. Go back to join your peers at the playground then.

Bye bye kiddo.

KGD10:
Lagos has always been a small commercial hub before the British found it. Successful Lagos leaders built upon the laid down platform.

We all learnt that majority of the slave returnees (the Creoles who are Yoruba) came back to develop Lagos.

What the FG did was to build few government offices, airport, barracks, few roads and the few bridges which were built by the British. Nothing else was done apart from these. As a matter of fact, No SS oil developed Lagos.

Lagos was developed by the British, Awolowo, the Creoles who were the returning Yoruba slaves, Jakande, Tinubu, Fashola and even Ambode.

So shut your trash. Same Lagos which has always been in the opposition until Buhari's administration was developed by which stupid FG? Better go sleep.

GOOD POINT.
