WhizdomXX: .most intelligent political write-up I've seen from an Igbo.
I guess birds of the same feather. He forgot there was a war between Biafra and Nigeria. In addition, he forgot the inhabitants of Nigeria are dumbass Africans too.
Parachoko: Nigeria regionalism can be base on Ethnic nationalities too eg Tiv region, Igala region, efik region etc. Or we can just make the 6 geopolitical regions the states
This current structure is failing
We need to work on a system that will favour us.
You can have whatever system that blows your cup of tea. Ndigbo want a country or nation which they can call home.
sweetmelanin: 1. The People Ghanaians are generally cool, calm and collected. They live a peaceful life without the need to boast and show off excessively, they appreciate their culture and live in humility. They live a generally slower pace of life and therefore experience a more stress-free existence appreciating nature and the true beauty of African serenity. Nigeria on the other hand is a highly populous nation, filled with amazing people but the general society is more suited to fast paced, aggressive way of life. The effects of the harsh and brutal environment in Nigeria is evident in the angry, bumptious, loud and arrogant personalities the nation produces .. personalities who have been conditioned to adjust to a constantly oppressive system of living, thus having traits of anxiety, violence, boisterous but yet cowardly ‘suffering and smiling’ traits where the tolerance for inhumane treatment is so high.
2. Education By African standards, Ghana can boast of a sound educational system. This is evident by how many Nigerian students troop to Ghana year after year, to enjoy a decent education with good infrastructure and to have a shot at achieving their degrees in good time. The University of Ghana ranks #12 amongst the Top Universities in Africa.
3. They deal with their Fulani problem swiftly and effectively, ensuring the peace and safety of their citizens. A wise nation understands the importance of self-preservation and this is why Ghanaian authorities are swift to act whenever there are any potential of threat or nuisance by settlers in their country. The Fulani people in Ghana are kept in their place as settlers and in fact, the Ghanaian constitution is structured in a way that ensures that no one of Fulani decent will ever rule their country no matter how long they have settled there. This an intentional move to protect the safety of the Ghanaian people and it works! Ghana is one of the most peaceful nations in West Africa. There are little to no reports of ‘banditry’ and terrorism unlike in Nigeria where Fulani settlers have gradually infiltrated & subjugated the Hausas in the North, thus dominating the political space of the entire nation. Moreso, I’ll be beating a dead horse if I go on to recap all the atrocities, banditry, terrorism, killings perpetuated by this same group of people and their terrorist militia here in Nigeria. A de-tribalized mindset which has been promoted to Nigerians has given room for these foreigners to come in and wreck havoc on indigenous peoples. Nigerians now foolishly demonize tribalism not understanding the deadly consequences of not protecting your own tribe, ancestry, land and lineage. The Balanta and Manjaco tribes of Guinea Bissau work in conjunction to ensure the Fulani people do not ever get the opportunity to dominate them politically. In fact, most African countries seem to be well aware of the threat these normadic Fula terrorists pose to their national security and do not shy away from drawing the lines politically and physically. Ghana has been exceptional in doing so, thus ensuring the peace, prosperity and safety of their indigenous peoples. Some examples below:
4. Passport Ranking Ghanaian passport ranks #82 in global ranking with access to 62 countries visa free. Nigerian passport ranks #98 in global ranking with access to 45 countries visa free.
5. Currency Ghanaian Cedi to dollar = GH¢ 8.1 Nigerian Naira to dollar = N 587
6. Tourism and The Year of Return Many African Americans and African diasporans are looking to move back to the motherland and more often than others, Ghana is always the first choice of consideration; aside from Gambia, Tanzania. The “Year of Return” was introduced in 2019 in which Ghana opened its arms to all African descendants and returnees looking to relocate back to Africa. The influx of these diasporans saw a boom in Ghana’s economy as an increase in foreign investment and tourism flourished. This initiative positioned Ghana as a key travel destination for African Americans and the African Diaspora. Despite being at the forefront of afrobeats/African entertainment and culture, Nigeria is hardly a country considered by the African diaspora as a choice destination for relocation and this is due to the ever worsening situation of the country; from the harsh economic climate and changing government policies which destroy investments & businesses, to the greed and corruption, poor infrastructure, terrorism, banditry and religious extremism in the North.
Nigeria was never a forefront for afrobeat/African entertainment and culture. Fela Kuti was a noisemaker and never was a member of the group that brought Afrobeat to Nigeria. Gold Coast (Ghana) was the original home of Afrobeat.
9jahotblog: Insulting Our Prophet Mohammed Is Our Uncompromising Redline – Adamu Garba Writes
Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has averred that insulting Prophet Mohammed is every Muslim’s uncompromising redlines that must not be crossed.
Taking to his official Twitter page on Saturday, May 14, the politician stated that no Muslim will ever take it lightly with anyone who insults the Prophet.
According to him, every Muslim respects Jesus Christ and the same respect should be accorded to the Prophet. He went on to advise everyone to respect this boundary and avoid saying condescending things about the Prophet.
His tweet seems like a reaction to the murder of a female Christian student of a College of Education in Sokoto state, who was beaten to death and burnt over allegations of blasphemy.
The controversial politician tweeted,
“There is no Muslim that don’t respect the sanctity and the divinity of Jesus Christ. And certainly, there is no Muslim that will ever tolerate denigrating our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
Insulting him is our uncompromising REDLINE. Respect our sensibilities and avoid it.”
A while ago, Adamu Garba took down the APC flag in his office.
This comes days after he was unable to secure enough funds to purchase the N100 million presidential nomination and declaration of interest form of the party.

Would a dumbass fool such as you and shithole called Nigeria declare a war on a country whose citizens insult Prophet Mohammed? This is one of the reasons I honestly want Nigeria to be disintegrated. Would the malnourished fools from Islamic Republic of Arewastan think of redline talk less of crossing the line if a person in Republic of Igboland or even Republic of Biafra insults their so-called Prophet Mohammed?
HardMirror: Islam is only there to serve political agenda. It unites a set of people with set of rules to control them.
Christianity. A religion created by Constantinople for political reasons has also left its followers confused. They dont know if to let God fight for them or to fight for themselves. The bible says they should leave the battle for god, but God keeps failing them that they are now willing to fight for themselves lest the muslims keep riding them.
Judaism. A religion designed to steal peoples land in Palestine.
All religion serve selfish purposes and none can be proven to be established by any god.
I thought you were writing from a background of sound knowledge of the fact until I read the bolded. There was no Palestine in 1921. Palestine was never for the Arabs until the Nazi escapees landed in Egypt.
Kwashiman: I did a honest assessment of the political situation and future of Ndigbo in Nigeria and cane to the conclusion that we're the cause of our own problems politically in Nigeria. What is that problem? We no Sabi play politics the "Nigerian way", let's forget about these entitled rants about the SE been marginalized blah blah blah, the deeper and more salient plight that we face as a region is that we are too loyal almost to a laughable fault, and that's why the North and to some extent the SW will always be ahead of us politically, we're far too emotional than logical. For context, the SE has been giving PDP its bloc votes for years now and what have we gotten in return for years of unyielding loyalty? absolutely nothing! ordinary VP sef we no see to collect...meanwhile the SW knew better to play the game of opposition in all the years they were not in the corridors of power, they patiently waited and stalked for an opportunity to gain political traction and find their ways back in the swing of power...that opportunity finally presented itself in 2015 when they made alliances with the North by merging their opposition party (which was only strong in the SW) with the emerging popular party which was APC at the time, the reward of which produced a VP for them; thus positioning them among other strategic corridors of power along with the North. Even the South South under Jonathan leveraged on the strong loyalty of Igbos to PDP to massively vote Jonathan (an Ijaw man) into power, what stopped PDP from giving power to an Igbo man despite us being a majority ethnic group? Where's that famous think-thank of true Igbo political consciousness that produced true political heavyweights like Azikiwe, Mbonu Ojike, K.O Mbadiwe, Micheal Okpara, Alex Ekwueme etc? Why can't we just ditch our loyalty to PDP and adopt a party like APGA which has its grassroots firmly rooted in the fabrics of the South East, why can't IPOB which has a popular following among lots of youths in the South East use its popularity to actually educate and encourage SE youths to get their PVCs and vote massively for leaders who will first and foremost promote the interest of the people at local and Federal level? Why should IPOB keep trying to threaten people in the East who truly want to vote, thus constantly creating a worrying vacuum of lack of political leadership, participation and voters apathy in the SE?
2023 is around the corner and once again we've put all our eggs in one basket by fooling ourselves to think Peter Obi will get the party ticket to run for president, we all know the North might clinch the ticket again under PDP while we settle for crumbs...why can't the likes of Peter Obi just leave PDP and campaign under a new political party or an already established one like APGA? PDP is the greatest enemy of Igbo political interest as history has proven, and if we don't turn corners fast, we will be left in the dust forever while other regions keep rotating the presidency among themselves.
Lastly, we will NEVER get Biafra by doing useless sit-at-homes, shouting "Biafra or death ",and causing unnecessary in our own region...Nigeria won't care and will only send more battle ready soldiers to our region to cause more chaos and destructions, and don't even crying to UN to come save you when it gets hot cause those ones don't give a toss about Africa's problems, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
Lastly how can we get Biafra in the long term? It's simple! You're a fuCCking majority tribe for goodness sake, learn to play the game the way the North and SW does and stop the emotional blackmail, let's start making alliances with the other 2 big boys and play politics the ruthless way...we've allowed minority tribes among our South South neighbors to play on our intelligence in our daft effort to be "our brothers keepers", and they've produced a president already and might do so again while we are left with nothing but insults and scorn from the same people we've always seen as our brothers. Enough of the emotional politics, nothing is fair in politics (at least when it comes to Nigeria), so why can't we use our numbers and majority status to join the North and play their own brand of politics? Then and only then can we get a shot at power, and with power comes opportunity...maybe then can we have an Igbo president who is sympathetic to the Biafran cause push for constitutional amendments in the legislature to allow for referendum and reconsideration towards secession.
If you are actually an Igbo person, you must be the Efulefu. You moronically tend to forget Ndigbo and Biafrans lost something at the battlefield. Until that thing is regained by any known or unknown means, politics in Nigeria is not for Ndigbo. In US right after the civil war, the confederate south was allowed to produce leaders even more than the north (Yankee). Africans are incarnate of foolish demons.
Afonjakid: But omote Biafra is from Edo na, she can't be supporting insecurity in the SE while her own state is from ipob madness.. the madness should be extended to Edo too
She is one hell of intelligent southerner. I wish majority of goons who claim to hail from southern Nigeria have an ounce of her brain.
[quote author= post=112802468]Wike, the wicked Producer........
Rule of law must be followed[/quote]You are correct about the bolded but seems you do not understand denotation. If court says you must appear in person, even in the sick bed, you could be transported to court in ambulance.
Thoh: These are the main tribes in each State of the Oil Rich South South.
1. Edo State.
This State have the Bini, Esan, Afenmai and Ijaw.
Ijaw have 200 villages and settlements here. The Ijaws of Edo state border Delta State Ijaws and spread into different LGAs till across the whole Edo state and went as far as sharing borders with Arogbo Ijaws of Ondo State.
2. Delta State.
This State have Urhobo, Anioma(Delta Igbo) and Ijaw as the majority. This is why Ijaw have ruled the Delta South Senatorial District for straight 20 years because the two other main groups in the Senatorial district Isoko and Itsekiri couldn't match their number so they've turned that Senatorial position to family something.
3. Bayelsa State.
Bayelsa is bigger than 10 Nigerian States.
It has 550 villages and settlements. 546 are under all Ijaw sociocultural organizations. The rest six Isoko camps are in the Bayelsa border with Isoko of Delta.
4. Rivers State.
Rivers state have 23 LGAs. Ijaw have 12 and the rests groups share the rests. Ikwerre have 3 and half. Ogoni have 4 LGA. These are the 3 largest in Rivers State. Ijaw, Ikwerre Ogoni. Ijaws have being the only Deputy Governors of Rivers since 23 years of Democracy. From one Ijaw to another.
5. Akwa-Ibom State.
Largest Ethnic groups are Ibibio, Annang, Oro and Obolo.
Obolo are Ijaws.
They are the ones that have the present [b]IYC [/b]President and Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner.
As the Ijaw National Congress INC of which is the apex Ijaw sociocultural organization came out and say Ijaw are for Ijaw Republic Oro people have been sending different petitions to the Ijaw Nation leadership saying they are also Obolo people and should be added to Ijaw Republic with their relations. They've been moving here and there concerning it.
6 Cross River State.
Efik is the largest tribe here.
This State have over 17 tribes in it.
The Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into six states of which are Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when all Ijaw areas are fully together and share perfect boundaries with each other. The area Ijaws occupy in the Niger Delta is as big as the 5 South East States (of which none of the South East State are homogeneous State) Only Egbema Clan have over 350 villages and settlements under it and Ijaw have 86 Clans. You see Ijaw everyday but they don't carry it on their head.
They don't cross creeks to count all Ijaws and know Ijaw more they only do it by proxy.
Ijaw is the tribe that deserve self determination most because it produces over 90 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil. All Nigeria's offshore oil are in Ijaw Nation territories apart from the one on Ijaw land because Ijaw are the ones mainly sharing borders with the ocean. If not for the balkanization of Ijaw many South South States would have been landlocked like South East States.
Ijaw is a very very large tribe who are contented with little and always love home. They love staying in groups.
You keep flaunting your ignorance on nairaland with any given opportunity. How can you hold down a job when you know nothing about your backwater place of birth? Stop disgracing the so-called Ijaw peeps.
BUSINESSMAN2: Dear Muslim brothers. I can't believe this is true after reading this from Facebook. It seems the writer quotes the coran out of context. Pls I need more understanding of this pictures. Pls move this to front page so that people will learn and live in peace
ogododo: The Imam of National Mosque Abuja, Ibrahim Maqari, says Muslims have some red lines which must not be crossed especially as regards the dignity of the Prophet.
The Imam said this at a time when a Christian female student Deborah Samuel was burnt to death by a mob for blasphemy in Sokoto state.
Imam Maqari hinted consequences awaited those who crossed the religion’s red lines.
He noted that if grievances are not properly addressed no one should be criticised for addressing them individually.
A statement posted on the Imam’s Twitter account. read: “It should be known to everyone that we the Muslims have some red lines beyond which MUST NOT be crossed. The dignity of the Prophet (PBUH) is at the forefront of the red lines.
“If our grievances are not properly addressed, then you should not be criticized for addressing them ourselves.”
Meanwhile, Governor Aminu Tambuwal has ordered students to vacate the school till further notice.
I really do not blame certain bastards from northern region of Nigeria. My beef rests with the dumbass fools from southern regions of Nigeria especially those joined the northerners in the prosecution of war against Ndigbo and Biafrans. It will be a wrong irony fate if the forebearers of Miss Deborah Samuel or Yakubu were among the Christians who joined the fight on the side of jihadists from northern region of Nigeria.
Lothaire: Igbo man there are no igbos in Rivers state, ikwerres are not igbos, Wicked Wike and hundreds of Ikwerres has made this know. Port Harcourt is share between the ikwerres and ijaws. So mind your business which is in Abia, Imo, Anambra,Enugu and Ebonyi states and leave my Rivers State alone.
The bolded is one of the reasons Nigeria is called basket of fools. The deceitful character of Ijaw was exposed in 1913 land agreements.
studio14: Things like this make me say yes to Biafra, I don't care what you care but we are in a murderous country called nigeria, people are still in kidnappers den after 50 days, they are busy buying 100m ticket, fools
Only the dumbass fools and belittled cowards such as OyigboUpdate and Udele1 do not understand depth of dysfunctionality of shithole called Nigeria. I have no sense of value in Nigeria.
Lothaire: Port Harcourt belongs to ikwerres( who are not igbos) and ijaws, you an Igbo man should focus on the East where you belong. The last time we checked, There are no igbos in Rivers state.
Enjoy your silly self. The day of reckoning is about to unfold. Hate it when moronic people say "I thought".
Mumu. . Farah Dagogo that made foolish Wike insult the whole Ijaw Nation is Kalabari
Are you this idiotic? I read Farah Dagogo is cooling off in steel cage and there is nothing any drunkard, Ijaw, can do about. The silly IYC is full of delusional vagabonds who thought the release of idiotic communique is show of strength.
Bravetunde: pH is co owned by ikweres and ijaws. And ijaws own half of Rivers state.
Please if you are drunk, I beg you to get sober. Ijaw in Port Harcourt are bona fide tenants. There was court case which legally informed these characters called Ijaw to thread very carefully in Igweocha (Port Harcourt). Ironically, the presiding judge was Ijaw too.
Ijoh: Keep quiet!! You have never being to Buguma before.
Buguma is the headquarters and capital of the whole Kalabari-Ijaw subgroup.
Are you always drunk or just plain delusional? There is nothing such as Kalabari-Ijaw subgroup. Buguma is a backwater compared to Degema or Okrika. Even the bebes from such environs explain the dichotomy. I must say that Yenagoa is a fresh air today when compared with the late 70s when I dropped there in a helicopter.
Bravetunde: Igweocha is a name igbos/ikwere call town like mile one,mile 3,Garrison. But ijaws don't call it igweocha.
Even if these Ijaw characters prefer Port Harcourt to Igweocha, Ijaw had no hands in any deal between Rebisi/Ikwerre and British pertaining to Port Harcourt.
Efewestern: You may have no problem with the Wado city tag but it raised some dust and I sincerely don't know why your cousins are fusing about it. I want to rename my ancestral land, why should that be a problem to anyone?
The Ijaws in Warri South only occupy Main market/Ogbeijoh market then the waterside.
This is Ijaw's cultural place of Abode. In Igweocha, watersides are the places to find them before and during Nigeria's independence.
Shut up your putrid mouth. I am happy you wrote Igboman. I had worn it as a badge of honor anywhere in the world. Ijaw are tenants anywhere in the shithole called Nigeria. I guess you and Ijaw ilk should not piss off the landowners.
When the Bini boy was busy insulting Igbo aborigines in Rivers State, Ijaw and their co-travellers were applauding him just because of their hatred for Igbo people.
Enough madness to go round and finally, enough madness for the mad.
Do not pay any mind to these delusional Nigerians. They were dancing naked for Wike not long ago. They even got drunk when Wike attacked IPOB.
