Tell me one good thing about igbos? And I will deactivate my account. Oh I forget, there's nothing good about Okroros.

Igbo are better than Ijaw in more ways than one.

Hisbah21:
They look drunked..is it demonstration or they are dancing. .the Oyinbo has brainwashed this women

Are stone-cooled not to realize people dance during demonstration? What a dunce.

Rossikk:
Nigeria has more powerful land forces than Egypt.

In world military rankings by Global Firepower Index, of 140 countries Nigerian military ranks 35th, and Egypt, 12th.

The gulf is not so wide as to assure Egypt of an automatic victory.

A stream of foolish thought from a deluded mind.

Africans are fools. Big fools like op.

And laughable too!!!

I am neither proud of being a Nigerian nor proud of Nigeria. It sucks to be a Nigerian.

Lol. He might be worse than Buhari

Clearly, he is already worse than Buhari. At least, Buhari was tied together when he contested for election. This is operation "Wettie".

JohnSin97:
There's no use debunking something that's evidently a lie twisted to suit the narratives of a certain group.....even without history the actions and attitudes of nyamiris speak for itself.

You do not have intellectual capacity to debunk a twisted lie talk less a natural fact.

“By 1960, shortly after Nigeria’s independence, the Prime Minister, Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, had directed the principal of King’s College, Lagos, Mr. P.H. Davies, to provide places annually, for at least 15 boys from the North, whether or not they passed the requisite regular entrance examination.”
-Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” page 36 published by African Educational Publishers (Ltd) Onitsha 1981.

“By 1964 a group of young Nigerian officer-cadets, mostly Northerners, had been declared academically unfit and hence repatriated by the Canadian military authorities. These cadets were, however, pronounced commissioned by the Nigerian Federal Government no sooner than they had arrived at Ikeja Airport. Consequently, they had had to be absorbed into the Nigerian Army as commissioned officers, even though they had received no requisite military training.”
-Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” pages 12 – 13, published 1981.

Zak Maimalari had held the rank of Captain in 1960. But before my return from United Kingdom in 1963, he had soared to the rank of Brigadier. In other words, he had risen from Captain to Temporary/Major, to Substantive/Major, to Temporary/Lieutenant-Colonel to Substantive/Colonel and then Brigadier, all within that short span of time. It was just scandalous.”
-Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” page 13, published 1981.

“In an attempt to catch up militarily with the South, the Northern politicians had thrown out all discretion. They had lowered standards of admission drastically, settling for the minimum.

For as I recalled, all the northerners in my intake had been trained at the Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot. And they had become officers after barely six months of military training, whereas those of us who had been sent to Sandhurst had had to do two long years to earn the Queen’s Commission.

The implications were quite & most disturbing. Not only had these northerners become commissioned officers before we were half-way through our first year at Sandhurst, they had all risen to the enviable rank of Captain before we could even appear at the Queen's sovereign’s parade which served essentially as prerequisite for our passing out as Second Lieutenants.”
-Col. Ben Gbulie in “Nigeria’s Five Majors, pages 12 – 13 Published 1981.

Among them from northern region were Theophilius Danjuma, Filimon Shande, Sule Apollo, Martins Adamu, David Bamigboye, G. Alabi-Isama and Ignatius Obeya. From the western region were Emmmanual Abisoye , Samuel Ogbomudia and Ayo Ariyo.

The chaps with Ben Gbulie at Sandhurst included Alani Akinrinade, Pius Eromobor, Simon Uwakwe and Joseph Ihiedigbo.

Cowards are very treacherous too. The background of the picture does not indicate any place in Nigeria talk less Owerri.

oga,if we r talking about kwara,we don't recognise Kwara like dat.what happened was just an internal war and betrayal from two brothers. we left them to their fate.Oga,just try and trespass across Ore .go and ask ojukwu nah,even our beloved major chukwuma Kaduna nzeogwu died in that war. we cried after killing him.o boy,go and ask questions o.

Ore shall always remind certain folks the treacherous nature of Yoruba. I could not believe a person from certain group of people could still attribute to him/herself as "We". The same folks who cowered when urged to support their son, Ogundipe in 1966, turned tail and ran to Dahomey claiming not to have enough soldiers in uniform.

Gemid94:
The President’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, has again frowned at those attempting to cause disunity or dismemberment of the country, saying such people are “struggling in vain”.

Adesina stated this when he received in audience, the Black Apple Media Group, a production outfit devoted to making movies and documentaries towards the promotion of unity and peaceful coexistence in Nigeria, in Abuja on Friday.

”All those who are trying to cause commotion, cause disunity, cause dismemberment, I think they just struggle in vain, it will not happen. Nigeria will be together..."

https://www.thequesttimes.com/nigeria-will-be-together-agents-of-disunity-struggling-in-vain-presidency/

This dumbass fool called Femi Adesina is typical example why Africa in general and Nigeria in particular lagging behind progressive curve. Mr. fool, you cannot have disunity when unity has not existed. It is pitiful a person from the group of empty heads who claim sophistication while in their dreams cannot figure the difference between unity and union. Please Femi Adesina close your freaking loudmouth because the more you open it, the clearer your stint with free education manifests.

Nairaland has actually gone to the deluded dogs.

SlyDev:
Nigeria will never develop because while Yoruba is playing by the rules, the two other tribes are trying to hijack everything including what belongs to Yoruba



This is the key, it is only North that is trying in this part exporting as much as they can, while some tribe are still shouting why Buhari closed the border.

The best solution is regional government, non-indigene show not be able to be political active in region he is not native to, land mark should be created with autonomous power so that each region can grow at their pace.

Are you referring to the same Yoruba which went war because a section of the country wanted out of the useless union? Any group of people which went to war because of moronic reason is freaking useless.

Rugaria:
I don't think it's helpful the way we rail against Africa here without expending some energy to understand why things are the way they're. For the OP to insist that South Korea got to the place she's today based solely on her efforts is deceptive. Lots of international realities came together to create the present day Asian tigers. Believe me, if the South Koreans were forced to face the kind of undermining efforts that the western powers visit on many African states, South Korea might be another Laos or Burma today...

The main factor was the proximity of communist China and socialist USSR to the Asian Tigers. With these two super powers supporting communist fighters both in Vietnam and North Korea in the 60s, the west worried real hard that the whole of Asia might end up as Communist states post world war and started building up strong capitalist enclaves around Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore etc as some kind of bulwark against communism/socialism. The fear of communism/spread of the socialist influence of the USSR across Asia, was the main factor..

This forced the west to invest heavily in these countries, who became western allies post world war 2. Western governments encouraged heavy technological transfers and helped to skill the local manpower to specifics. More importantly, instead of assassinating vibrant leaders in these South East Asian countries as was the case in Africa, their leaders were heavily encouraged and guarded as long as they were pro west. That gave the leaders the space to build up their countries and advance the course of national growth.. This doesn't distract from the point that these countries did have some really good leaders at this point, eg Singaporean leader Lee..

The transfer of technologies in order to grow the economies of these countries helped create a vibrant and peaceful region. They had, an already waiting western markets to buy their products. Western heavy investments in almost all sectors of the economy helped to create a prosperous set of countries that ultimately used their capitalist power to convince the communists in China that communism wasn't working. This was the main reason why China ditched communism for capitalism especially when the ordinary Chinese revolted in 1989 over their conditions, which were worse when compared to that of the people of Hong Kong..
Africa, in my own analysis, would have been better of, if there was a power tussle going on here between the major global powers. This is why I am not totally against Chinese deep penetration of Africa..

The bolded is arrant nonsense!!! Nobody can make you a fool unless you allow them. In case in point was 1967 Nigeria. Why would the rest of dumbass Nigerians go to war against eastern region on a mere urging of Britain?

Africans are not brilliantly progressive people. I am still flabbergasted at Nigeria not peacefully disintegrated. Nigeria as presently configured can never progress. Yet goons cannot figure out Nigeria is a dead end.

TEDHorsePower:
Lets stop unnecessary hype, Uyo is more beautiful and serene with beautiful roads, by far sef

Nigerian mentality leaves much to be desired. Roads with ramps for exist make a town beautiful. Uyo is a young city which was not even urban city in 1960. Uyo is not more than two roads city. Uyo can only compete with section of Enugu. I am only disappointed with Calabar which has risen to urban level even before 1960. I should say with size of Enugu, it trumps Uyo.

Kinematics:
Bayelsa was never part of western region, neither was it part of Midwest. Bayelsa was part of Eastern Region, then Rivers State before it was created in 1996 from Rivers State.


Stop f**ling yourself.

I could not believe to be on the same intellectual page with Kinematics. Yoruba are very good at painting false portraits.

lolu2019:
Yoruba

Yoruba are the only ethnic nationality which have lost ton of acreage to another ethnic nationality in Nigeria. Ilorin, Kwara State readily comes to peoples' mind. However, the range stretched to Oyo ile in Niger State. Osogbo became the red district of Caliphate foot soldiers while Ogbomosho acted as backup. Yoruba has not won any battle in Nigeria and do not have the intestinal fortitude to resist a drunken soldier. In 1966, Yoruba even denied their son was murdered cool bloodily in Ibadan.

Ojiofor:
ESN is killing Igbo security agents seize their guns and use it to kill innocent Igbo civilians to advance Nnamdi Kanu's criminal agenda in ala Igbo.

In my previous post, I respectfully submitted you are not qualified to partake in this discussion. When did Ndigbo constitute security agency?

Ojiofor:
So ESN killing innocent Igbos is the answer to whatever your grievances maybe?
Channel your anger to the right places.Nnamdi Kanu is not held in DSS cage by Igbos.

Here you go again!! When did Nigerian Police, DSS and Paramilitary units in Nigeria become "Innocent Igbos"? Any stupid Igbo chap in cohort with the presumed enemy of Ndigbo should be treated accordingly.

ambu2:
Soludo my brother, even in America inauguration is a elaborately joyful community event.

However, I recognize that this is your inauguration and you want to use it to communicate a paradigm shift of what public office should be and how urgently and professionally a technocrat in government should work: more work, more sacrifice and less personal pleasure and comfort. Carry go!

Most Nigerians have moronic stream of thought. Nigeria cannot celebrate at the level US until it gets to the position of US. "Cut your coat according to your size". This is an informed adage.

Ojiofor:
Did Python dance happen in the streets of Enugu?
Why not take the war to 82 division if you must take revenge?

This is the same stream of thought which had Nigeria behind the curve of growth. Actions attract reactions which are equal and opposite. The use of 82nd Division in the above post shows you are not qualified for this discussion.

CUMIN:
With the assistance of France

France was never a helper to Biafra. I guess Yoruba are sure to be mistaken for treachery. In 1966 when the son of the soil was killed in presumptive capital of Oduduwa, Yoruba retorted to what do best, lie.

EraseTheDot:
The moment biafra fell at the feet of Obasanjo.

Mynd44 Lalasticlala seun

Biafra did not fall at the feet Obasanjo and definitely did not surrender at the Uli Airport. The picture clearly showed a staged action.

slimghost:
I agree somewhat but trust me, they can be exterminated easily. The north land scape is different from that of the East and these boys aren’t half as equipped as boko haram.
Either our security agencies aren’t intelligent or the the federal government is enjoying the chaos happening in the East. Maybe it helps validate their proscription of IPOB as a terrorist organization.
My people fell into the trap foolishly.

I cannot imagine how you could exterminate people who remotely believed they are Biafrans. Any wrong move could lead to a war.

OyigboUpdate:
Make una dey take note. When it start raining heavily they'll say it is innocent vigilantes or innocent youths. The South east governors should use Governor's Wike approach they are just petting these terrorist

How soon did you forget "Operation Python Dance"? Please do not paint Wikeosagie's problem more than it has been.

What a dunce.

oilykid:
Please, if you are in Enugu at the moment,be careful about the way you move around. Unknown gun men are currently on killing spree. They look like they have brought their madness to Enugu. At of yesterday, some police men,civil defense and custom men were shot dead. A high profile chief security officer of a street in meniru side was shot dead in the middle of the night.

Let's be careful out there please, ESN are on killing spree in Enugu.. looks like they can not be controlled again..

Call it whatever that tickles your figment of imagination, this is the result of idiotic "Python Dance".

Onye jigi. ji ife, nwanne!!! Brian on top of beauty.

lolu2019:
go and read history.ask ur people y they call us betrayals. we conquered u pple during the war.without the Yoruba people ,Nigeria would av lost the war to Biafra.don't just type rubbish, try and read. we are still offering free education in our region. Education gives confidence.

Who are the "We"?
