Abuja started picking up when igbos moved in

try and find out

Thesame mistake. No single tribe can ascribe the prosperity of any city to a single tribe but I doubt if your sentiment will let you understand. So if you are not in Abuja, Nigerian economy will collapse.... I don Laff tire

bigfish3k:
what I mean was the infrastructures that attracted our people, the FG couldn't have come to develop trade fair and give it the value it has today

building bridges and co without the corresponding population to use it will amount to decay as seen with abandoned FG properties in lagos
the FG built the infrastructures(ie good roads and bridges), my people came used them to build private entrepreneurship(businesses, estates and building) that attracted more population and hence development

so I still lay that claim that we developed lagos through our middle level man power enterprises

Weldone o Mr developer. You still don't get the point. Are there no igbos in the east? Biko Why have they not developed the east na? Unless you want to tell us that it is only igbos in Lagos that have the capacity to develop their environment. With a concentration of ndigbo in the east, it doesn't make sense to claim that igbos are developers and at thesame time say that the east is not developed.

Exciton:
Lol. We are arguing if it's possible in 8 years. Like it matters if it's 8 or 20, when it will most likely be a reality in 25-30.

It's like the current Naija youth are as useless as the older generation... those ones are confirmed failures.

The important fact is that the world is changing and we've gotta plan to acquire the required skill set, at least for the sake of our children.

I'm sure there's no place in the country currently into or have contributed anything of worth to the research in the fields of organic electronics, perovskite solar cells, energy storage, hydrogen generation, quantum computing, artificial intelligence etc. That's the future.

Naija universities and impostor academics just dey scam students and their parents. Especially those private ones collecting millions. Hehehe.

We're still heavily focused on getting those O&G jobs. Continue. Our children or children's children will be poor.

Correction sir.
Inventing electric cars will not automatically spell immediate doom for the oil and auto industry as some will like us to believe.

All these propaganda is based on the idea of global warming which is a Fraud. Even Al Gore is ashamed of himself today. Afterall he said by 2010 there will be no glaciers in the Antarctic. Well we are in 2017 and the rest is history.

Studies have show that the average achievable reduction in global temperature will not exceed one tenth of a degree by year 2100 even if we shut down all fosil fuel usage by cars and manufacturing industries today!

Government cannot legislate an innovative into law. Meanwhile there is an advanced research into technologies that can produce cars that consume less fuel with more efficiency. Hybrid cars are just an idea of what's to come. Manufacturers will not stop making petrol/diesel engines. Both electric and fuel engines will be made and consumers will choose for themselves.

So enough of all these doomsday prophesies. Let the technology evolve in its own

Obi1kenobi:
Nations are innovating. Nigerians are still screaming down churches, searching for miracles. Not to mention our increasingly radicalised Muslim brothers. This country and this continent is headed for a very bleak future. On top the whole matter, we breed like rats and Nigeria's populations is projected to top 1 billion by 2100. Odikwa egwu ooo. The black man is a curse to the planet.

See how much Oyibo propaganda has made you hate yourself?!

You may speak for yourself. As for me and those reading, we are blessings to the planet

bigfish3k:
yes its been torn by war by the FG by their inactivity in the east

[b]we only trooped to lagos when there was massive FG development there, the same thing happened when the development shifted to Abuja, [/b]so when is the development shifting to the east so that we retreat back to our east.

with what is written above u can see that our trooping out was a deliberate design by the hausa and Yoruba led FG by not developing any of our cities. and now u are still yabbing us with it, what u designed
develop our side so that we come back home, that's the reason most easterners want out so that we control our own development

in ur ignorance u want igbos out. don't forget abiola 1993 race when igbos left and lagos economy fell. also during December travels u feel their absence even during the sit at home order, u felt the igbos absence hence the north grew angrier and did their infamous quit notice. igbos grew lagos economy, they developed bushes and swamps into mega towns ie trade fair market in lagos

your elders know better, this is one the reasons they don't like hearing anything about secession

But you all claim that you developed Lagos and Abuja na. Why are you now saying its the federal government that developed Lagos and Abuja? You lots are very confused

But why do they like going to live and die abroad na? Then they insist on being buried in Nigeria as if Nigeria is a cemetery

The late Tiv warrior, Gideon Orkar's, coup speech, April 1990

Fellow Nigerian citizens,

On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orka, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vasta, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialize and other human rights violations. The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasis that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalized, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonization by a clique of this country.

Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south. They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south. It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalization is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence. Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change. However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come. For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:

(a) To stop Babangida’s desire to cunningly, install himself as Nigeria’s life president at all costs and by so doing, retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has evidently started destroying those groups and sections he perceived as being able to question his desires. Examples of groups already neutralized, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:

(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.
(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State, especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the body politics of this country.
(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of terror.
(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of the draconian decree Number 47.
(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million dollar loan as the necessitating factor.

(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than half of the members of the armed forces. Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a life president against the wishes of the people are:

(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defense, his putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options, his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged determination to create a secret force called the national guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and administratively. It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990’s, and, therefore, must be resisted by all. Another major reason for the change is the need to stop intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few.

This, in our view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the problems of Nigerians. This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of progress. This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a nation. This will ever remain our threat if not checked immediately. It is strongly believed that without the intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will have in all ways achieved developmental virtues comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and even Japan. Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:

(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the Babangida administration.
(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida’s administration by the all powerful clique.
(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr. Aret Adams and so on from office.
(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their instant replacement by the favoured class and their stooges.
(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment of other educational minded parts of this country.
(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute affluence on a daily basis without working for it.
(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative, oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where people and stooges that can best be described by the fact that even though they contribute very little economically to the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this country, while the people from these parts of the country have been completely deprived from benefiting from the resources given to them by God.
( The third reason for the change is the need to lay a strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take off of the Nigerian state or states as they circumstances may dictate. In the light of all the above and in recognition of the negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following conditions are met.

The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of the aforementioned states are as following:
(a) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji Maccido, who is the people’s choice.
(b) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and operation will be a thing of the past and will never be practised in any part of the Nigeria state. By the same token, all citizens of the five states already mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this country until the mentioned conditions above are met.

They are also required to move back to their various states within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the stipulated conditions are met. In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the south are required to come back to their various states pending when the so-called all-in-all Nigerians meet the conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.

This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times, when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both inside and outside the country.

We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are closed forthwith. The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police, one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.

A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. All members of the armed forces and the police forces are hereby confined to their respective barracks. All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are prepared at all costs to defend the new order. All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on permanently to the national network programme until further notice.

Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all.

Wow! The situation described here sounds so real and so recent as if it was written yesterday.
E don tey wey Nigeria don spoil o.

This man truly saw tomorrow

Jaideyone:
some of you just come here and start blabbing about what you don't know. He enrolled for military courses in the US, UK and India yet you believe he didn't complete any of them. You are just a tribal bigot.


Modified: stop showcasing your ignorance. Fayose's name is not kayode. Ibos don't know a fellow Yoruba more than we do. To us fayose is a clown. I served in Ekiti. People like fayose can only be worshipped by deluded ipob youths cos of their hate for the sitting president.

Forget US and UK.
No military officer goes to a foreign course and fails. They are more hands on than theories.
Did he pass his war college courses? NO
Fayose is more educated than Buhari. And that is a fact you can't dispute. Period

Jaideyone:
buhari graduated from US war college. Military men a whole lot of courses before making the rank of general. He has at least an equivalent of MSc or PGD.

He's still a failure like I stated in my earlier post anyway

Don't buy the kids bro.
Buhari failed all his war college courses but only became General through coup as you know.

Look at all the qualifications after Abacha's name (PSC MNI... etc). Buhari has none after his name. Even Elrufai acknowledged this.

Kayode is more than qualified to contest though he may need to act more maturely.

Jaideyone:
hell no!!! He's a rogue and a tout. Some of you keep shouting buhari is a tyrant but I tell you fayose is worse. We all remember how 7 Ekiti law makers took over the house againstvthe wish of the majority and suspended them. He refused to present the budget to the lawmakers and hired hundreds of okada riders to block the house of assembly to prevent his own impeachment after commiting the offences listed above.

Fayose is not educated. I think he has just HND and admitted working as a bus conductor in Ibadan or so before venturing into politics.

Fayose is a religious bigot. I'm a xtian and I believe in the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ (before you shout ewedu Muslim) lol

Fayose is incompetent and he's a big liar. We've not forgotten his stunt at a train station in China in the name of talking to investors

Buhari has failed but fayose will fail even more.


He's close to the people? Yes!!! But cutting ponmo is not leadership. We want ideas for roads and agricultural revolution in a state like Ekiti not 10million naira for beer parlour owners

Yes we want abyoubg president but not fayose. His ambition is dead on arrival

Not educated? Please remind me again.... What is Buhari's highest qualification again?

I know you lack reading skill but my comment was just a simple question :
Was it state government money or his personal money

It is your type that vote politicians who campaign to drill borehole and buy wheelbarrows in. Y'all see normal responsibility of government as a great favour.

Oya answer the question

Sponsored by aregbesola or Osun state?
Is it his money

Ok we have heard.

......But in exchange for what na?

Favours like this don't come cheap. I bet one dumb politician has signed away ten times the worth of these cars

So Garri that is locally produced is more expensive than rice that is imported

You can't be a Christian and make a general statement that Christians are wagging war and hatred or Christians are daft. Will that not include you?

The comments of some peeps here on this thread made me conclude that Christians have a deep hatred for their fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. Christians are the ones propagating the religious war between Islam and Christianity.

Every religion detest people who use religion to kill and spread message of hate. But you who claim to be sensible why must you join them?

In your first statement you said that all Christians are daft? I could have replied you in thesame tone but I refrained.

I think you should exercise similar restraint and stop making unguarded statement online.

Quinn22:

Who mentioned religious war and hatred on this thread? Me or you

The thread is a live evidence. Read and decide for yourself

Peace loving people do not rejoice even at the mere mention of war. Let alone celebrate that one side is winning. #FACT

Quinn22:
Oh so you know Christianity do teach violence, interesting!

No one mentioned war but recently they have been a war between Muslims and Christians, even on this thread

Don't derail the subject. Look at the original post and highlight where religious war was mentioned between christans and Muslims.

Your lot just visit different threads spewing rubbish weather it confirms with the topic being discussed it not.

Everyone reading this thread can relate with what I just said

A lady was said to have fasted using Bible and prayer beads. What brought about your first comment about war and hatred. Examine your heart sister

Ofemmanu1:
If you can read and understand this post, your paranoia will cease.

IGBOS in their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.
There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.
Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.
I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.
As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.
In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.
The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner. After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.
The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest.

Islam is winning the religious war already, all thanks to christians

The more hatred christians have for Muslims, the more pronounced Islam will be. Christians are so daft

What is this one saying?
Who mentioned WAR here?

When we say your religion teaches violence Now you will quickly deny.

There is no mention of war or hatred in this article but a man can only speak from what is in his heart. I think This confirms what others have been saying

The interview was made to BBC Hausa service, it was not a message for Nigeria.

But its simply been misconstrued.....

Why BBC Hausa?? Don't we have nta or other indigenous news channel to interview him?

Anyway we are approaching 60 days again and they will soon rush him back well or not.

Nothing under the sun can stay hidden forever.
