Akwa Ibom have now made their intentions clear. The balkanization of the Niger Delta begins in earnest. Bookmark this, the Ijaw will front a newly revised republic in no time. They are actually the most up and doing group in the Niger Delta. This Ijaw republic will span parts of Delta, Bayelsa and coastal Rivers including Bonny, Opobo and maybe Ogoni.

It's getting interesting.

The bolded is laughable. Which Ubani, Opu obu and Ogoni are you talking about? I guess most Nigerians love their dreams.

heniford2:
Useless Governor the funny thing is that he will still not fix the said road never will he

This governor should be given credit. He has the gut to go to the rural areas where the dirt tracks remain the main roads. Does the picture show the village is part of Benin City Capital territory Area? Most governors in Nigeria will not even think of a visit to such village talk less make an attempt.

gidgiddy:
According to Wikipedia, Nigeria has a population of 210 million people. But it puts the population of the main ethnic nationalities as:

Hausa - 30%

Yoruba - 15.5%

Igbo - 15.2%

Fulani - 6%

Kanuri - 2.4%

Tiv - 2.4%

Ijaw - 1.8%

Ibibio - 1.8%

Bro do not pay much mind to Wiki info. It could be edited by any bonehead.

Sammy07:


You served in Kogi yet you don't understand igala language

Let's type igala words and see who will understand igala language better than Yoruba people



This is igala language, yet you tell me its not Yoruboid

An average Ekiti or Ondo man like me will understand igala easily

Yes, Kogi West has common boundary with Ekiti, Osun and Ondo.

Praxis758:
Different tribe, but they migrated from Ile-Ife same way other Yorubas migrated from Ife.

Oba Sir Adesoji Tadenikawo Aderemi, the then Ooni of Ife said 'the son has come to greet his father' when the late Oba Erediawa paid his a maiden visit in Ife in 1979.

And the descendants of Oranmiyan are the royal line of Benin Kingdom till today. You're here arguing that Benin is a different tribe from Yorubas.

Better strike the iron when it's hot than for your to beg later.

The bolded is arrant nonsense!!! Yoruba migrated to present day Nigeria from southern part of Upper Volta which was northern part of Gold Coast. They formed a migratory team with Fulani and settled in Oyo ile which was 30 to 40 miles north of Ilorin, Kwara State. The southward movement of Yoruba was as a result of uproot precipitated by Fulani and Nupe. The crap about Ife is a made-up story.

thebosstrevor1:
The igala people of Kogi state are part of the Yoruba race, the igala language is a branch of the yoruba language.

Igala people even though living in the middle belt of Nigeria have the same ancestors and share the same culture and traditions just like the ishekiri in the niger delta and the Bini people of Edo state.

The dialect of the igala people Idah, Imane, Ankpa, Dekina, Ogugu, Ibaji and Ife all have the same sounds and intonations with yoruba people even many yoruba people understand what an igala person is saying.

I have noticed the first set people who accuse others of something very ominous are the perpetrators of such crap. What has Kogi East got to do with Yoruba? If it is educationally worthy to be examined it could be how Kogi West and Central relate to Yoruba. However it is outright criminality to insinuate Kogi East has any ancestral connection with Yoruba.

This is an undignified act which begs to be treated the way Bakassi folks have treated by Nigerian government. Who the hell in Nigeria is willing to listen to the crap you have bring to the table talk less negotiate? I thought these goons have shied away from bottles.

The caption of this thread is flawed and can mislead. The federal government of Nigeria led by the idiotic Buhari is not all out to destroy Igbo nation or ethnicity. Although the moronic Buhari's administration has managed to marginalize Igbo nationality, its main bone of contention is to kill an ideology, Biafra. I must say it is waste of lives and properties through the actions instigated by Nigerian paramilitary units. There is time for everything and the time for Nigeria to go has come full circle.

I do not give a ratass if the shithole called disintegrates into 100 nation states as long as Republic of Igboland is one of them. I support IBOM Republic in its quest to become a country.

Temidayo9:
Instead of this , why not inform your leaders to support splitting of Nigeria and let's every part of the Nation move

Of course, the goons will never think of such thing because the inherent stupidity in them does not get to their stomach.

I saw a thread trying to revise history
https://www.nairaland.com/6534250/aguiyi-ironsi-did-not-dissolve-regionalism/
that is a malicious attempt
to revise history and we the reasonable Nairalanders won't take such

Decree Number 34 of May 24, 1966, promulgated by Ironsi caused massive unrest in the Northern part of the country as the Northerners had gone against delimiting of regional powers as far back as 1959.
The decree made the centre strong, thereby abolishing the powers granted to the regions. In June 1966, Ironsi began a tour of the country (never to return to Lagos) and met with the Northern elite, assuring them of a united Nigeria. thehistoryville.com/


But, Ironsi was in a hurry to make an impression. In his May broadcast, he declared: “Nigeria shall on the 24th May, 1966 cease to be a federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a republic by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole territory, which immediately before that day was comprised in a federation.” As federalism was abolished, the regions ceased to exist. From their ashes sprang up a group of territorial areas called provinces. Each region became a group of provinces, with a National Military Government at the centre. The late Head of State had also proposed a new economic plan, but it never saw the light of day....thenationonlineng.com

According to Ndayo Uko, the Decree no.2 was to serve "as a kind gesture to the press" to safeguard himself when he went on later to promulgate the Defamatory and Offensive Decree No.44 of 1966 which made it an "offense to display or pass on pictorial representation, sing songs, or play instruments the words of which are likely to provoke any section of the country." He also as per the proposals of a single man committee passed the controversial Unification Decree No. 34 aimed to unify Nigeria into a unitary state..... wikipedia.com

Ironsi abolished regionalism yet appointed regional military governors. Yoruba peeps have bent of using this crap to justify their lining Fulani, Hausa and Kanuri to prosecute a war against Ndigbo and Biafrans. Decree #34 was for the unification of civil servants in Nigeria. The Emirs taught it took away the power of native authority from them and organized unrest in northern region.

Educationalserv:
did they say they are moving the Navy headquarters from Abuja to Kano or a desert Navy institute been established in Kano to cater for future operational desert storm .pig go and read and comprehend.

You were the puller who injected silly analogy to this discussion. US NAVY SEAL warfare institute sits in Coronado, San Diego, CA, a seeable distance at the edge of Pacific Ocean.

Educationalserv:
if they dont train in the desert how will they perform in desert war fare .

Training which involves jumping out of airplane does require locating warfare training institute in the air. There is terrain acclimatization role.

Nigeria is a heap of filth on the driveway of Igbo nation which must be removed.

zhuche:
Since the president considered people of the south east as dot, I've been thinking and wondering how South South came about.

We don't have anything like
North North or East East or West West

So how come South South?

Please anyone with an explanation?

Bro it is for nothing Nigeria is called basket of fools. Foolishness is legitimate in Nigeria. I guess South-south of Nigeria is Atlantic Ocean.

Educationalserv:
have u not seen the us navy fighting in operation desert storm. The United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Among the SEALs' main functions are conducting small-unit special operation missions in maritime, jungle, urban, arctic, mountainous, and desert environments. SEALs are typically ordered to capture or to eliminate high level targets, or to gather intelligence behind enemy lines

With all this above ramblings, yet you failed to inform us that US Naval Special Warfare Command is headquartered at San Diego, CA not in Wyoming, Nevada or Utah.

Educationalserv:
useless swine leader .been in the Navy does not restrict you to fighting in the sea . The us Navy seal are operational in desert in Iraq and Afghanistan. and are all round combat troop .but the swine leader without gut that cannot even graudute from Nusuka is talking

Most idiotic Nigerians are quick to reference US in any foolish endeavor they chose to pursue. US Navy SEAL does not have its training institution in baja desert.

Yes, fuel source can be any combustible material such as dried woods, leaves, twigs and clothes. If a person directs the solar energy with concave glass, as indicated by Commentor, to a fuel source such as stated above, fire will be generated.

t least 90 per cent of Nigerians killed by police officers in the South-East were innocent as federal government’s security forces lay siege on states in the region amid secessionist threats and unknown gunmen’s violent attacks on public facilities and security operatives.

The security forces have identified the unknown gunmen as IPOB and ESN, often leading them to vicious crackdown on youths in the region.

A telling report by the International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law (Intersociety) in its latest report revealed the wanton liquidation of innocent lives.

“Not less than 600 were disappeared or feared killed in the captivity of the military; that over 90 per cent of the victims of the above conduct atrocities are innocent, falsely labelled and criminally stigmatised,” stated the Intersociety document.

The document accused Nigerian soldiers and police of turning “blind eyes on jihadist Fulani herdsmen attacks, including the recent massacre of not less than 150 defenceless” Igbo Christians. To date, it added, no single “jihadist Fulani herdsman involved has been picked and tried.”

Intersociety insisted in its report that over 90 per cent of police and military claims of “killing or arresting ESN/IPOB hoodlums, terrorists, supporters, charms provider-native doctors are false and unfounded.”

The report recorded that 14 out of every 15 citizens killed “are innocent and defenceless,” and out of every 25 arrested, “24 are innocent and law-abiding.” It further noted that “out of every 60 citizens abducted and disappeared by soldiers, 59 are not most likely to return to their homes or families alive.”

The chilling details of the report also showed that “out of over 350 victims of the military and police killings, less than 10 per cent of them were combatively involved.” According to the report, 60 per cent of the victims were killed “outside the law or ought not to have been shot and killed on account of being nonviolent at the time of their shooting and killing.”

“In other words, they are victims of deadly use of force,” was the terse conclusion of the document.

As of May 31, 2021, Nigeria’s security forces had arrested and incarcerated unaccounted for 2,500 individuals in various states across the South-East and South-South, including Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Rivers, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Delta, and Ebonyi. Most of the victims, Intersociety observed, were Igbo Christians.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

The report further noted that 30 innocent persons were killed by soldiers who opened fire at the Ariaria International Market in Aba on April 23. Intersociety said more than 10 were killed at Enyeogugu, Abor-Mbaise, by the military on May 30.

On June 3, it claimed several other persons were killed and falsely labelled and 60 civilians “abducted or arrested” between June 10 and 17 in the nine states. Apart from apparent ordinary Igbos bearing the brunt of the security forces, the publication acknowledged that “traditional and religious leaders were abducted, killed, and falsely labelled.”

“Several highly respected traditional herbalists have also been attacked and abducted or killed extrajudicially by soldiers and police, including the DCP Abba Kyari’s IRT,” alleged the civil rights group. “Funny enough, witnesses have disclosed to Intersociety how the said security operatives dot their operational vehicles and bodies with deadly charms and hire malevolent medicine men to accompany them.”

https://gazettengr.com/90-of-nigerians-killed-by-security-forces-in-south-east-innocent-report/

The youths of south-east Nigeria shall never forget the earth scorch extrajudicial murder precipitated by the Nigerian government in Igbo land and beyond. They must never forget and forgive.

Nigerian man invents suncooker that uses the light of day to cook meals in Bauchi . Engineer Hamza Abubakar Ningi will be cutting expenses on kerosene with this solar stove. I hope the idea is improved upon and the cooker produced on a bigger scale.

I really can pardon your ignorance on the ground you are neither an engineer, scientist, technician, electrician nor receiver of sound education. The energy from solar medium does not flare or produce fire unless in reaction with combustible material. There are numerous electric stoves which do not shoot flare or generate fire as your picture suggested.

Reno Omokri, why would you command Buhari for visiting Maiduguri? It is on record that Buhari has defended and supported Boko Haram. With this carp from you, it is safe to say you are typical Nigerian who can fall for anything. Anybody can tell his/her dog to chill.

"I went to d North, they didn't know who I was. They gave me $12mn for the construction of Kano TV in 1980.

I didn't have one naira then. It was d same thing in Katsina, Borno & Kaduna. Then, they put me in oil business. They didn't care where I came from".

How many of our people in Igboland can do this for a northerner?

You forgot that Ndigbo gave the key of Enugu to Fulani named Mallam Umaru Altine in 1956. All that concern this fool is personal wealth. What a dunce.

I had known all this while that real northern Nigerian people will emerge.

discusant:
Who can contemplate merging Igbo communities in Delta state to Anambra state? Most of the Igbos in Delta state get angry if anyone tries to see them as non Igbo.
Much of Rivers state is Igbo land; whoever argues against that is trying to rewrite history. Ignore the few Wikes in pursuit of political relevance from northern Nigeria

Enemies of the Igbo are trying to reduce Igbo influence in Rivers state, that’s behind this talk of returning some communities in Rivers state to Imo state.. Hopefully, Igbo leaders, especially people of Imo state, do not fall mugu for the Greek gifts.

You are phony. You seem to be everywhere all the time to know when people frown at being Igbo because all the development in Imo State is centered in Owerri. I do not want to be a compatriot to anybody who is to be reminded his/her ethnicity or a person who chooses to deny his/her ancestral lineage.

mekaboy:
Some call him OHAMADIKE NDIGBO( Crowd knows a warrior) Some call him a prophet, some call him supreme leader.

They say he is the greatest igboman that ever lived after ojukwu. He has done what no other igboman have ever done.

Who is this great man? His name is MAZI Nnamdi Kanu. Though much can't be found about his business, employment and academics online, we will proceed to look at the achievements of this great man.

Many will be suprised to know that this great mannis 54. Stumbling on this astonishing information, i thought to myself to look for other great igbo men who are in his age bracket.

Three great igbomen who are outstanding for their contribution to igboland and Nigeria are:

1) INNOCENT CHUKWUMA 60YRS.

The owner of innoson vehicle manufacturing company. Providing jobs for several Nigerians within and outside igboland.

2) ALLEN ONYEMA 57YRS

The owner of the popular Air Peace Airline. Providing jobs for many igbos and Nigerians as well.

3) COSMAS MMADUKA 63

the owner of popular Coscharis motors, distrubutor of the popular BMW car brand as well as others. Providing jobs for several igbos and Nigerians.

I picked these men because they all started from a humble beginning. With nothing, yet grew to be a big blessing to Igbos and Nigeria.

While we celebrate their achievements and employment opportunities provided for igbos, these men are nobody compared to Nnamdi Kanu. The supreme leader of the INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA (IPOB) .

Also the CEO of IPOB WORLDWIDE LIMITED registered in London, United Kingdom.

Note that by the age of 50, these Igbo men listed above have achieved all this greatness and were great employers of labour.

Now lets look at the investments of this great UK based freedom fighter in igboland.

At the age of 54, we will compare the achievements of the greatest igboman, with that of the above listed.

The first picture is innoson plant.

Second is coscharis ford plant lekki

Third is air peace staff

I must say without equivocation that your stream of thought requires adult guidance. Does the word, destiny, mean anything to you? There is no doubt some of your age mates have reached plateaus you can only dream about. In the other hand too, you might have achieved laurels your mates can only experience during silly acts of daydream. The above crap seem to suggest the character you wear. I must say it is humanly idiotic.

In Africa, some people want to carry guns and kill each other just to keep together a British colonial creation called Nigeria

Yet they get twisted when the British regard them as subhuman beings hence the shout of silly racism. Respects are earned not given!!!

mrvitalis:
I'm from imo but it's impossible for imo to have higher GDP than anambra n abia ...u people should stop writing rubbish

Trade volume in onitsha main market is over 10 billion naira per day ...we are talking close to a billion dollars per month , that's around 12 billion dollars per year

It's absolutely impossible for anambra GDP to be less than $20 billion minimum

Anambra n abia service the whole south east n 70% of south south with parts if north Central

Trade alone between Aba and port Harcourt alone is worth millions of dollars per day

Let's all be realistic ...

I guess the caption mentioned "Live" not where the wealth is generated.

KingOfAmebo:
So, What now happens to the investments of indigbos scattered around Nigeria? The last time I checked, Igbos have more investments outside their region than any other tribe in Nigeria...

Keep dreaming cuz the actualization of biafra is dead on arrival and the igbos killed it by ignoring igboland but choose to invest or 'develop' other regions.

Your Governors get federal allocations from the Federal Government yet nothing to show for it, if you cannot manage yourself with Federal Allocations what makes you think you can manage yourselves better without it...Somalia would be by far a better country than biafraland for sure.

You better stop decieving yourselves and start making use of your senses.

Know this and find peace of mind.

Africans in general and Nigerians in particular should start thinking like human beings. There is no place in the world where attainment of independence means anybody should loose his/her property as result of such mankind endeavor. The dissolution of Republic of Czechoslovakia instantly flashes my mind when certain goons begin to talk about forfeiture property because of the actualization of self-determination. The Czechs did not forfeit anything so do the Slovakians. I guess the countries do not require visa though EU either might have played part to it or not. Until Africans start to think like human beings, the progress known to the rest of world will continue to avoid Africa.

For those people who want to remain in the coffin called "One-Nigeria, all I have for you is the praise of the gods. As for me and the alike, I say disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria is a wish that must be accomplished.

Madmohamed1:
We ask for drainage of River Niger to make way for nndi Igbo to import form Onitsha they say no, we ask for international airport so nndi Igbo can travel from their land and save their time and life from going to Lagos they say no,. We ask them to repair federal road in igbo land they say no. We ask them to build train rail they say no. But they want to build pipe line from Igbo land to Kaduna to Niger to take our gas we will say no. We will give them madness to madness.

Anything short of Republic of Igboland is a total waste of the time. It is either self-determination or absolute anarchy.
