I think they are a morw enlightened group, less sentimental in their approach as you can deduce from the ex militants support for buhari admitting their "son" has failed them.... They want growth regardless of who brings it..... And as I have constantly found out, they don't buy into the biafra vision, they will rather stand alone. .... Honestly the only reason SE is holding on to them by force is in anticipation of sharing the crude oil resource from their land and they know this well just like everyone is aware..... SE only cares about themselves and everyone again knows this....

tonychristopher:
why, i am curious, why cant you stay with hausa if SE/SS go? I am curios bro

tonychristopher:
because you dont reason like yoruba

CHM11:
Here's what will happen..if the igbos push for Biafra, and the Niger Delta doesn't want Nigeria which will most likely be the case, they will be on their own which will in effect force the yorubas out too cos they won't want to remain with the abokis....so we will have something Like Biafra, the Niger Delta, Yoruba Kingdom and probably one muslim name for northern Nigeria.

chrisbaba1:
The truth is if ND goes with biafra, they will suffer it because igbos unquenchable thirst for domination (which has constantly led to their loss, marginalization and lack of being trustworthiness) will oppress the ND because of their size, they own the oil, so they are not the losers, ND should be allowed to determine their visions not lumped into the Biafra dream....

CHM11:
Ole!!...,na igbos no dey tire!!!....there is NO IGBO in south south Nigeria (EDO, DELTA, BAYELSA, RIVERS, AKWAIBOM, CROSS RIVERS). Those who have languages that look like igbo do not call themselves igbo....

South south Nigeria is not IGBO region, it is home to the Benins, etsakos, Auchis, Isians, Urhobos, Ijaws, itsekiris, isokos, Okpes, Efiks, Ukwanis, Ogonis, Ikwerres, ibibios, and many many many other tribes that are not IGBOS!!!!...

Get this?

The Itsekiris of Delta state answer igbolike names like ifeanyi, chidi, ikechukwu..they also answer yoruba names like Tosin, Femi, Seun, Yetunde, etc etc...If the yorubas are not trying to claim these people, they respect them as independent people why on earth will the igbos try to claim them as igbo?...

Y'all should push for your beautiful dream called Biafra, but please not that no Land in South South Nigeria is igbo Land.

AhmedMustapha:
Any course the Igbos decide to pursue am sure would be welcome by all Nigerians if it is handled in a peaceful manner but such groups shouldn't consider lumping the states in the south-south in their plan as such a mission is one bound to fail.

naijababe:
Oh! We are back to that ridiculous falsehood often peddled when backed to a corner! Show me proof Buhari made that statement. Politicians come and go but Nigeria is the constant that will remain. Buhari is not my first choice but heck he's been elected now, all I can do now is pray for him to succeed.

CHM11:
They won't as they have never supported your course. They would rather be on their own.
Niger Delta!!!

GenBuhari:
[size=22pt]Has anybody considered that MASSOB does not represent Igbos?

Have you seen the number of MASSOB demonstrators in the photo? does not even look more than 25 people all obviously paid to be there with printed uniform and flags.

Ask any Igbo you know what MASSOB stands for or who its leader is and you would be surprised that they may not even have heard of them.

America's covert plan to split up Nigeria should not be allowed to succeed.[/size]

CHM11:
As much as you talk like a child, I am obliged to reply you for the sake of reasonable people reading..
None of these people you have mentioned call themselves IGBO!!!! Don't you get it!!!..they don't want your Biafra dream which is why they fought against you in the past because they see where it will lead to.
They'd rather have their own dream.

CHM11:
If they want to leave Nigeria and form their own country called Biafra, I think its a welcome development. ... Though you can't eat your cake and have it. They should literally leave Nigeria to Biafra (imo, abia, anambra, enugu and ebonyi this time).

If any Nigerian or 'Niger Deltan' if those ones decide to leave too-wants to come to biafra, he will need a Visa or some form of documentation before he can go into Biafra.
Same goes for Biafrans who want to enter Nigeria.

No one will violate the sovereignty of the Biafra nation and the Citizens of Biafra (igbos) should also know their boundaries.

As regards other tribes being in Biafra...no no no way....Biafra is an igbo dream..igbos should push for it alone and God bless you, you have it in the end.

Just don't try to take any Land in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwaibom, Cross rivers.....these people are not igbos, they are not biafrans....they are NIGER DELTANS the crude oil, plam oil, gas, fish and sea food people....

naijababe:
Finally! Someone thinking in the right direction. Sometimes, I wonder about this PDP analysts. Almost as if they want the newly elected government to fail just so they can say 'I told you so'!

For crying out loud, this is our nation, nothing should be bigger or more important than for our office holders to get it right. As terrible as it may sound, the success of this government is in EVERYONE's interest.

Someone made a comment that Nigerians are like the children of Israel, they always complain and are never grateful, I am beginning to think that person is right.

This your obsession with GMB has no equal!

Your life must be very pathetic I swear. Why don't you wait for the administration to be sworn in and start work before you start the rubbish you've chosen to embark on?

Your die-hard supporters must by now be ashamed of you already!

Lalasticlala, Seun, Ishilove, please stop giving this guy unnecessary attention by moving silly threads as this to the front page.

Stop feeding his over bloated ego please!

Just as I expected, here is one of the few reasonable PDP supporters:

cooljude:
No position should be given to the south east. They should be marginalized. The thinking of an average tribalistic bigot. Let me start the statement because i know someone must make a tribal statement.

staymore:
What about Amaechi?

ahaz:
here we go again what is wrong with a yoruba man being an fct me minister we re nt toking tribe we re toking results fashola perfomd in lasgidi he should be given a bigger responsibility away from tinubus influence

voltron:
GMB... are there no suitable hands who have live and updated experience that KIK (my former chairman), TAM David-West. these guys are as old in experience as Shagari since he dropped out of the scene.

hush15:
people keep stalking rubbish that they don't know. where were these law makers then? where they at the assembly or in tinubu's house when they were being impeached.

for those that forgot, they where the ones that imposed exile on them selves, among other reasons was to Frustrate Fayose's government as the know he needed them to perform some roles like the budget for instance.

now, should the state be tied down cos of some greedy, incompetent and stupid men who can't even, for the sake of the people that elected them, let peace reign.

if I was the one, I will push them aside and continue my work.

rubbish

belabela:
Is it a case of intentional denial or a case of support for illegality that of all the points mentioned you can only cry about APC working for their party?

If this illegality is allowed to stand in Ekiti it will be across the federation where a state governor can handpick a few members of the house of assembly - even when they do not form a quorum and sack the remaning members. A governor can now remove the checks legislators are meant to have over the executive. That's what Fayose has done. If he is not guilty he should prove it. He has time to make his case and the whole nation can judge if he was a victim or a culprit

belabela:
I am very well aware that most Nigerians are not familiar with the Nigerian constitution and cannot differentiate between culture and the law

Fayose is not a community cheif but a state governor. His position is backed up by the law and he swore on oath to uphold the law. If found wanting the law must be upheld. It has nothing to do with his character.

If Fayose's upholding the law is that in a house of assembly of 26 members 7 members which does not even make a quorum are a majority over 19 and can impeach the speaker. And a governor who is meant to uphold law and order can declare that 7 was a majority and the new man is the lawful speaker.

Fayose has been supporting illegality in the state until it was clear to him that GEJ will not win. He should prove his innocence. The way he is going about it, he is proving that he is implicitly quilty. He has not offered facts but sentiments. Sentiments won't save him, it did not save GEJ , it saves no one when the law is applied.

hotwax:
What fayose did in ekiti is lawlessness. If gone unchallenged, I see more governors doing it in the future. This is a bad example

spako4:
The state has known no peace since he was sworn in as the governor.
He is an embarrassment to Ekiti state.
Fountain of knowledge has become home of thugs.
I weep for my brothers from Ekiti state.
I know GEJ,Metuh,Ifeanyi Ubah and Secondus will be smiling somewhere
for evil they have done in Ekiti.
God will surely Judge U.

muh4lyf:
They are educated illiterate.. Even though I am from kwara,they are the mumu state followed by kwara state.. LOLZ

nonxo007:
Fayose should be called to order.. That guy is taking things too far...

cemefor:
Ekiti people are utter dolts, politically speaking. I travelled there during the elections. Fayose has them in his pocket.

phelps007:
Fayose the scammer!!!
Scamming Ekiti people by buying their roadside food, beds to gain their sympathy. We know him as spotless(419ner) before he went into politics.
He is urging the gullible in Ekiti to go and defend him with the last drop of their blood, that is to go and die while he stay back in the comfort of the Government house.
How can Fayose ask okada riders and nurtw workers to go and block the entrance of the state's assembly as early as 6am because he is afraid of the unknown..and worst still, defend him with the last drop of their blood.

No honest and sincere Governor will ever say this, Fayose is not one.

Fayose should allow the lawmakers to carry out their legislative duties. Nobody will impeach him if his hands are clean. Asking people to waylay the lawmakers is enough a ground to impeach him in a sane society.
