₦airaland Forum

njoku10:
I don't really understand the Yoruba tribe, they say they Loving and accommodating tribe but when u ask their females if they will marry an Igbo man 99.9 percent will say God forbid. so my question to the Yoruba females in this forum is. why do u girls hate to marry/date an Igbo guys and u are always quick to say say it without thinking twice.


please I will love this post to be deleted , just this little question is causing harm than good, the moderator should as a matter of urgency do something about the hate in nairaland.

Oga its the same thing o. Stop wailing. Igbo girls do same to yoruba guys.

Unik3030:
like seriously am beginning to see sense in what ahmadu bello said about igbos, they will be accommodated in another man's land n in no time they will begin to act like king in another man's land. they always want to outdo there host. so south east politics never do u Na to go chuk mouth on how Rivers people wan run there state. they always overestimate there worth anywhere they found themselves that's y they always have problem

Your post sound so senseless. You mean Igbos in Rivers state should not vote in the election because it is other people's land land?

You can continue to kill yourself over Igbo matter. There is nothing like other people's land in Nigeria so stop deceiving yourself.. The land you are calling other people's land is owned by Nigeria according to the constitution and you have no single right to tell igbos or any Nigerian where to live in Nigeria.

If you want to own your land simply change the constitution so as to give you the right to own your so called land. Support restructuring. For now, IT IS NOT YOUR LAND SO KEEP QUIET.

Amarabae:
What do you mean by Igbos in ph?
Whats the essence of this thread sef

It is not only igbos that live in Rivers state. There are other ethnic groups but igbos are among the ethnic groups with a very large population here so i am addressing my people. Other ethnic groups can do whatever they like.

Politics is a game of number. Our population will affect the outcome of the election here. If you are living here in ph you should know that candidates usually seek for the support of the igbos desparately during campaign. Its not new. That has been the norm over the years.

opuada331:
Rivers is PDP and PDP is Rivers,Amaechi used Federal might during the Rerun Elections and we stood on our Stand....

You can't say for sure that Rivers is PDP. What happened recently is a proof that u cant be sure.

You saw how PDP senators in Rivers state were removed and replaced with APC senators recently? .

zombieHUNTER:
No comment

Why?

Lomprico2:
Abeg go sidon! APC is evil.

Is PDP not evil too? Which Nigeria political party is not evil?
We should vote individuals based on their track records and not based on their party.

Can you point out anything that APC is doing today that PDP is not guilty of?

chairman010:
but why must somebody bring somebody,. is the somebody that somebody is going to bring the river state governor or the governor of the person that brought him?
why is Nigeria so cursed?

Thats Nigeria politics for you. Somebody brings out somebody. Even if the person decided on his own to contest he must go thru somebody.

The 2019 election in Rivers state is definitely going to be a a tough battle for Wike as he is going to have a return match from Amechi whom he fought with the PDP Presidential might in 2015.

To this end it becomes very very necessary for my people (the igbos) in PH to be wise in their choice of who to vote for. We have the number for sure and our votes can make a difference so we have to use our votes wisely.

I know that majority of Igbos in ph like Wike and are in support of him. Even in Igbo states a lot of them believe Wike is doing well in Rivers state. The problem our people have with Amechi is that he fought Jonathan. I want to advice that we should put aside the anger of Jonathan`s loss and weigh the candidate that Amechi will bring out to see if he is better than Wike. For now i am very sure that you guys are voting Wike all the way because he has been cool with us but let's not forget that Amechi was also good to us. You guys should do away with the Jonathan thing pls. Let's see other candidates first before we decide.

If at the end of the day you find Wike better than others then vote massively for him again.

moninuola65:
Livestock is enough to prove that Hausa/fulani is far richer than Igbo in Nigeria.

The problem with Hausa -Fulani is that wealth centers on a few people. It doesnt spread. One millionaire surrounded by one million wretched people. This is bad.

Yaradua is my best. I miss that man sooooo much. He was just getting it right and death stole him away from us. Nigeria would ve gone far with him as the president.


NB. Op pls start from 1999 till date. Pls remove those 1960 things. Most people here were not born then so we can judge them well.

1bunne4lif:
what's with you and IGR? Make your arguments based on facts not on what is on paper. Who recorded those figures, how has it beneffited the average citizen? You need deliverance

the guy is funny the way he is bragging about IGR. Today we heard a report of the 26 billlion dollars contract illegally awarded by the GMD of NNPC. That money is part of the IGR he is bragging about. The one the Deziani stole are part of it. The one that Bode George stole are part of it. The ones that Dasuki wasted are part of it and many more out there. He really has time to waste on Naija IGR issue.

Rawani:
Bla bla bla...if this your disjointed & poorly punctuated tripe of an epistle is an indicator of how educated you are, then I can imagine what you consider as standard education amongst your "better educated and richer" folks. I can humbly assure you that you have never experienced the world standard education I've been privileged to have, or reached the height I've attained educationally, judging by the quality of your posts on this forum. Unlike you I'm not a chest beater and I only disclosed the preceding to clear your doubts.

By the way, how has the mumbo jumbo below increased your IGR and stopped you from being the parasitic second least contributing region among Nigeria's six regions? Biafla indeed.

Oga stop boasting about IGR that ends up in the pocket of a few greedy politicians. I understand your frustrations but pls know it that the best igr that one can really boast of in Nigeria of today is human capital development and that is where you will find the Igbos. When government begins to function well like they do in other countries we can then talk much about igr. For now, keep am one side abeg. I dont have time to boast over monies that are continually being looted by a few greedy men called politicians. Even the IGR you are boasting of in the North is generated through the effort of the Igbos and other people living in the north. Not only your people. Your Arewa said that over 5 million Igbos are living in the north. Of course you know they are paying their taxes and other revenues being charged which constitute part of your igr.

For me as a person i value the igr in the north which comes out of hard work of the farmers there and the other people than the one of the niger delta which comes out of the hardwork of foreign companies and people from other parts of Nigeria and some of their people too while most of their youths lazy about.

Having said that, let me ask you this- Why is the north heavily kicking against restructuring even with your so called huge igr? Why is it that the igbos that you accuse of low igr are in suppport of restructuring? Its not enough for you to come here and be talking anyhow,a lot of your people are engulfed in poverty so you dont need to pretend about it pls Igbos are not perfect but not that the north is doing better than us in terms of self development.You can still carry on with your porous defence here and there if that makes you happy.

There song contradicts them. Na wa for this guys.

Daviddson:
The video abruptly stopped when they began running inside the compound and the rest is history. See what Kanu's uncouth, braggadocio statements have caused - the whole lives of his family members.

Did you really watch the video?

Osezua:
Watch and carefully listen to the person filming while the Army were shooting.

you get problem.

chngebeginwthme:
You are playing with hunger hahha

Which hunger? Because of tomato and yam. Abeg talk another matter.

A good number of Igbos dont eat tomato stew these. We have our own native stew which we call ofe Akwa. It is better than tomato stew.

Northern traders should tread softly before our people get alternative

CharlotteFlair:
Buhari has never hidden his disdain for the SE from inception. The " I belong to nobody " speech wasn't his thoughts originally, it was a plagiarized speech afterall.

He can continue with his hate for all i care. He wont be there forever. He will die one day but the Igbo nation will out live him .
History is recording all that is happening now so that tomorrow we can cite the events of today as references.

fiizznation:
Good.... Don't take anything to those people until things have calmed down. And for the mean time, let those ipob TERRORISTS produce their food for them.

The Hausa traders should direct their anger to Arewa youths first. They were the ones who pronounced October 1 as dooms day.

I hope they will not carry out their decision for too long. If they do, they will come back to see that Igbos have explored an alternative means of getting food stuff. We can always survive any situation challenging us. It is in our blood to survive.

The northern traders should be careful in their actions because they may end up being the losers.

Finally, may God punish those ipob guys who killed people. Shame on them.

Wyttcat:
Who asked you to allow them in your midst? What I'm saying is, your position will weaken Yoruba which is unacceptable. We don't need Hausa or ibos, all we need is ourselves.

Whether you allow Hausa or not, they already have a place in your region via islam. There is nothing you can do about it since your people have a good number of muslims.

Anything that Hausa-Fulani muslims brings to Yoruba land through islam will always have a smooth entrance and acceptance. Learn to tell yourself this truth. Religion has a very strong grip in Nigeria.

realhumanity:
These people are very good in dishing out theories. Why not develop a real economic plan and snub the federal govt. We are too soft in the east that we tend to run to faraway countries to either hold rallies or seminars.

Exactly my point.

farem:
Just ONE MONTH ago, the leader of IPOB issued this stern warning below against Pres. Buhari. One month after, what is your take?

"Go and tell Buhari that I am in Aba, and any person who comes here to arrest me in Biafra land will die here.I will never go on exile.
I assure you...

-Nnamdi Kanu Aug 27, 2017

I read the nonsense statement on that week he made it. You can imagine the silly fellow called Nnamdi Kanu that want all of us in Igbo land to follow him. I AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY CONTINUES TO REJECT IPOB.

TheCabal:
Crap...the entire thing wreaks of tribalism.

He tried so hard to proove the SE is the worst hit region. From omitting the details of first coup and giving the second coup a whole paragraph.

This is not about restructuring. It's crappy PR stunt and one of many to come.

Gazzeting IPOB as a terrorist group truly has marred Ndigbo reputation around the world. But this is the price you pay for protecting the rights of a mad man who is holding a match stick trying to light a ciggarrette in a fuel station.

Even when the U. S and E. U refused to accept the declaration of ipob as terrorists, you still have the Shamelessness to say that the declaration has marred the image of the igbos all over the world.
The way some of you reason is quite pathetic. What a shame.

linusbnn:
Why not wait till then?. Things might happen,don't be in a haste over nothing.

Don't mind him. He doesn't know what will happen between now and 2018 when campaign will go full swing. Surprises may characterise the 2019 election. Let's watch out.

Asidethetruth:
Instead a yoruba man will rule nigeria again let hausa continue....or nigeria divide

The anger of seeing a yoruba sly and saboteur in power in Nigeria is unbearable to us....

No way

Oga why are you killing yourself? Abeg take am easy o.

WisdomFlakes:
Chai! So Fayose will truly end up becoming plesident? Plophet, fear God with your lies oooo.

Ok you are insinuating that Fayose is the only credible candidate that Yoruba can produce for Presidency?

Nigeria politics is changing so dont assume that the electorate will maintain the status quo in their choice of candidate. If i see a qualified Yoruba candidate i will vote for him. But definitely not Fayose. Someone like Ambode will get the votes of my entire family.

potent5:
The youth do not need rehab. They want you to put a stop to all the embezzlement and corruption perpetrated by you governors. You should rehabilitate the roads and other facilities in the five states before you ask for additional state, ndioshi.

What you wrote here is exactly what ipob should ve pursued first before moving over to attack FG and other parts of Nigeria.

laudate:
He did not deport some Igbos from Lagos? So who were those people his men dropped off at Niger bridge in Onitsha? And how come the Igbos made so much noise over the deportation at that time? Oh, I guess Fashola must have deported Chinese men and dropped them off at Niger bridge, not so?

Yea i agree he deported SOME igbos. But you made it look like he was on ethnic cleansing mission and i was trying to let you that if he was on ethnic cleansing he should have sent the igbos in Alaba and other parts of Lagos parking. He deported igbos who are beggars and of course he has the right to do so. And it wasn't only C igbos that he deported.

Why should an igbo go to Lagos and be a beggar? Begging is not part of us so any Igbo begging on the streets of Lagos or anywhere should be sent back to their villages let them go and do agriculture.

Ishilove:
Of course they aren't saints, but do the Fulani herdsmen directly challenge constituted authority? Do they inaugurate a Secret Service within the confines of a sovereign state, give people uniforms and unleash them on the citizenry? I'm not holding forth for those mindless, bloodthirsty animals, though. The government should also go after the herdsmen with the same ferocity which they are displaying with NK and his band of misguided scallywags.

I agree with you.

Nnamdi Kanu went too far. He surrounded himself with jobless and hungry youths who followed him like mumu without questioning some of his decisions.

delugajackson:
I must really commend IPOB for their resilence in the face of hatred and blackmail by the present administration.

Whatever they did to oppose the regime, I admire their courage, but this isn't their fight anymore.

Yea it is good to always resist every attempt by the Hausa Fulani to treat us as slaves but the way IPOB went about it wasn't all good. Nnamdi Kanu made everybody his enemy, including igbos who were against his style, calling us pigs and i.diots.

Next time they should learn not to insult people anyhow. They should face the people they are attacking with facts of the offence they have commited. Once they do it the rest of Nigerians will see reasons with them and join them in condemning the evil.

hornyofife:
IPOB never insulted the yorubas, it is Nnamdi Kanu who only attacked yoruba E-rats and igbos who attend yoruba churches.....

there is a difference between IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, unfortunately Nnamdi Kanu is the face of IPOB but IPOB as an organisation is bigger than Nnamdi Kanu.

i guess they are about to adopt a new strategy, seeing some of nnamdi kanu's mistakes in the past. But one must give it to Nnamdi Kanu to have taken IPOB this far and his place in history is sure.

Oga why you dey lie na? You people insulted Yoruba both on Radio Biafra and online here so stop talking trash. Each time some of us cautioned you the next thing you do is to tag us afonja.

Yoruba elders stood for the truth in support you ipobs despite your many insults. I ve always said it here that we igbos need to learn humility from Yoruba but you guys are always too proud to accept your fault. Thank God your brains have reset.

Now you can see that you shouldn't be following Nnamdi Kanu like mumu. When he is wrong correct him. That's how to do things. Life is too short, you can't keep making enemies for yourself. You will achieve much through love.

Who still lives in mud house in Igbo land? We ve gone past that level a long time ago but those who have not been to Igbo will describe it as a desert just because they are angry with igbos. Quite a sad one.
