christistruth01: I have always tried to understand why Ebonyi People have better understanding of Diplomacy and Government than their other SE brethren
I can't help thinking that it is because the Missionary Doctor Akanu Ibiam was one of their Political Father's so they understand the concept of unselfish humility in Public Service
A stream of thought borne out of deceit and illusion. I guess understanding of diplomacy and government for you is sticking with dead-end called Nigeria.
IvarDboneless: Great Nigerian youth this is the only opportunity we have to phase out this old and good for nothing politicians, tribalism and religion aside just like we trended the END SARS matter can we solidly campaign for this great autocrats to pilot this great nation to its promise lands we know they may not be 100% perfect but atleast they can align with the rapid development of the western world and take us half to the promise land..who is with me on this I will lead from the front.. lets start with twitter. Akinwunmi Adeshina for president and Peter Obi for Vice.
I guess you have no illusion that sanity amounts to stupidity. Nigeria is not owned by Yoruba and Fulani. Why not Peter Obi for president and Akinwunmi Adeshina for Vice?
Nigeria is blessed with idiotic leaders. There is no sign of crude oil bunkering in the picture. However, the pictures clearly showed crude oil spillage which giant oil companies left unattended. The poor folks seemed to sacrifice themselves to the imminent hazard by making few cash while still alive. Wikeosage should go after the giant oil corporations which caused the spillage.
With the way Ibos do wail about GMB interview, I can't believe they also elected a person as dull as Kalu not just as a Governor but also as a Senator.
I am flabbergasted at your seemingly insinuation that Nigerian elections are hinged on intellect. It is unfortunate you are blinded to ethnic bias and failed to frown at the line of questioning from the goons. In a democratic setting, should a willing candidate seek permission from a sitting president to run for the office as suggest by one of the empty heads who crossed as interviewer?
Danjikanbauchi: Can the north without middlebelt Christians win a war against the south East ?
No!!! It can never happen in the history of mankind. Entire Nigeria, which included Yoruba, deluded minorities from southern Nigeria and northern region of Nigeria, could not defeat Biafrans and Ndigbo. There is no single ethnic nationality in Nigeria which can engage Ndigbo in a war of arms and stand to tell the story.
War is an art which could teach us one thing or another. It is funny when certain dingbats from northern region of Nigeria talk about war. One thing that comes to my mind when these dumbass punks invoke war in their silly speeches remains the goons actually learnt nothing from Nigeria/Biafra war. Who shall be the principal combatants, foes and the allies? I shall advise Nigerians to go to the table of negotiation in order to seek ways of disunion from the shithole called Nigeria. If the Dam called Nigeria would bust, the rapid currents will definitely not obey the silly and imaginary boundaries.
Ebubu: Please we already have a country. Let us fight to make it equitable than destroy it to start from beginning
Besides, Ebonyi was marginalized so much under other Igbo states and is fearful of further marginalization in a new Igbo Republic. So he has a point in insisting Ebonyi will not be part of a Biafra Republic.
He is the Number 1 Citizen of Ebonyi state and his voice resonates the decision of the people which he lead.
You can work 24/7 for a century, Nigeria will never amount to anything more than a shithole talk less equitability. "A stitch in time saves nine". Ndigbo should be better off walking out of the shithole called Nigeria than working for imaginary equitability. Are you not part of the goons who signed for quota system for northerners and nothing for the southerners? Yet you have audacity to mention work to make the shithole called Nigeria equitable.
IhateYouMan: Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has said the state will never be part of Biafra.
This is as the governor stressed that the state was better in a fair and equitable Nigeria, reiterating that “if anybody tells you about Biafra, Ebonyi State will never be part of Biafra”.
Umahi stated this at the Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, on Thursday, during a reception organised for him after declaring his presidential bid, in Abuja.
According to the governor, “Let nobody be afraid of the Presidency of an Igbo man. The Igbo man is a builder and not a destroyer. There is no Igbo man that will be the President of this country and would like to divide or destroy it because we have investments everywhere.
“First and foremost, I have been saying it. If anybody tells you about Biafra, Ebonyi State will never be part of Biafra. We are not Biafra.
“We have so oppressed and now we are finding our feet and you want us to go back. We will not. We will not.
This is the ranting of deluded fool. A dingbat who cannot raise one man army has the effrontery to voice his inconsequential rant.
Make I screenshot... Patiently waiting for the next bl0odyfool to type cannibal on Igbo thread.
Cannibals are the everywhere in the shithole called Nigeria. However, the natural hatred certain ethnicities have for the Ndigbo tend to spur them into frenzy hype to tarnish the reputation of Ndigbo with an isolated incident.
Bonavi: I wish other Nigerians can tap into this quality of the Yoruba race. Yorubas have played important role in the freedom and emancipation of this country. Yorubas more than any other region were at the forefront of the ENDSARS protest that saw the end of SARS and its brutality. There were mega protest in all the major towns of the Yoruba nation. Even in the midst of brutal security clampdown, the Yorubas stood tall. That same courage were demonstrated in the lives of Gani Fahwenmi, Fela and current youth patriots like Macroni, Fals and many more. Yorubas were the only race that went to the national conference 2014 with clear proposal for a better Nigeria. Even though Buhari government turned to be the costliest decision, they were partly instrumental to the end of Jonathan's regime because Jonathan woefully failed in his mandate and promises to lead. There are still Yorubas who have continued to sabotage the efforts, thats the ruling class as it is in other regions and these ruling class in conjunction with other counterparts from the other regions have continued to render any dreams of better lives for the Nigerian people and youths in particular Thats the reason am calling on the heroes and patriots of the Yoruba youths in conjunction with the Igbos and all other lovers of freedom to rise to the occasion to redeem this beautiful nation from the claws of the old rogues in agbada. They have destroyed this country and the lives of the people of this country more than enough and the youths bear the biggest brunt. We really can salvage this country if the youths can unite. The unity of the youth is what the ruling class are most afraid of why they would always divide us with ethnicity and religion.as it happened during the ENDSARS We can do this with enlightenment, plan, organisation by initiating a 100percent youth party. Its time to take the mantle of leadership. There is no more youths are leaders of tomorrow, that tomorrow is now
Yoruba have no courage. If being courageous is shaking in pajamas when a son was killed in Ibadan by drunks from northern region in Nigerian army, cowardly run to the military governor of northern region to pacify northern elements in Nigeria army and boldly joined northern region to prosecute a war of attrition against eastern region, I had kicked the so-called courage into a gutter.
Certain moronic goons in Nigeria will argue that not every Igbo person supports Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB when such angle massages their idiotic political ego. However, the same jackasses such as Jubril will lump every Igbo person into the fold of IPOB when their meal tickets are threatened by the same Igbo people whom he/she claimed did not support Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB. Besides tribal sentiments, deceit remains the major factor which blocks any progress in the shithole called Nigeria. "You cannot eat your cake and have it".
louqas: All these happened because ibo leaders in conjunction with their boys in the military planned a coup and mercilessly killed political leaders of other regions except iboland.....NO SINGLE IBO LEADERS WAS KILLED ON 15 JANUARY 1966
If it had been the other way round....ibos too would act the way northerners did with the revenge coup. Okoye said it all when he said "Okoye said Ndigbo had not come to terms with the reality of their existence partly because they have never accepted that they were defeated in the war, adding that time has come for them to come to face the realities of their existence and try other alternatives.
I am happy the putschists of the coup on January 15, 1966 in Nigeria were not dull brains who seemed to populate this forum. While should an Igbo leader be killed? Those who perpetrate coups do not go about it on merry-go-round killing of individuals. They go after targets that committed crimes or embarked on divisive political policies and actions. The statement of defeat in a war is born out of ignorant stream of imagination. There was no single region capable of crossing arms with eastern region alone. I must reiterate that without the help from British, USSR, Canada, Australia, Arab League of Nations, Cameroon, Niger and Chad, Nigeria with its numerosity advantages could not defeat Biafra.
God1000: The international community has continually frown on Forceful take over of legitimate governments without holding referendum or elections.
Any of such unlawful takeover of government either by militant group or terrorists will eventually struggle for international legitimacy and recognition.
Even Catalonia a constituted regional government in Spain failed woefully in 2017 when it attempted it.
Please could someone tell the poster of the above crap that he/she does not belong to the subject of discussion which involves IPOB, ESN and Nigeria? I guess critical thinking is very alien to most Nigerians.
Laheelow: Igbo fought civil war out of sentiment, says NIROH president, Dr. Paul Okoye. By Gordi Udeajah (Umuahia) and Charles Ogugbuaja (Owerri) 11 January 2022 | 3:47 am
• PDP scribe Anyanwu, raises the alarm over plots to discredit him.
President General of Ndigbo Royal Heritage Worldwide (NIROH), Dr. Paul Okoye, has stated that the Igbo fought the Nigerian civil war out of sentiment, but its politicians can not realise their quest for Nigeria’s president in 2023 through sentiment or deceit.
Speaking in Umuahia, Abia State on the sidelines of the NIROH conference for 2023 general elections tagged: Igbo President or Interest, at the weekend, he said the Igbo ought to eschew ethnic campaign, work hard and invest strategically to actualise the president of Igbo extraction.
He stated that the Umuahia conference was convened to strategise on the best way to actualise the quest for an Igbo person as the next president of the country in 2023.
Okoye said Ndigbo had not come to terms with the reality of their existence partly because they have never accepted that they were defeated in the war, adding that time has come for them to come to face the realities of their existence and try other alternatives.
“The North is static, while the West and the East are dynamic. Whoever aligns with the North rules the country. We did it before and we can do it again. Suffice to say that we have the West to checkmate in our quest for Aso Rock.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo gave the West their share. Goodluck Jonathan gave the South-South their share. President Muhammdu Buhari is serving the share of the North. So it is only natural that the Igbo get 2023. But the sad story is that we stand to lose our chances in 2023, if we fail to understand that power can not be acquired on a platter of gold,” he added.
Sometimes, I wonder who awarded the Ph.D certificates to most Nigerians. I am really flabbergasted to hear the most important thing to this goon is the presidency of the shithole called Nigeria. I meant a position once held by a dumbass from Katsina named Muhammadu Buhari. This hungry jackass has a value issue. It is very silly to remotely insinuate the presidency of a foolish country such as Nigeria is more important than the self-determination of Igbo people. What a joker.
emmyileri: EJuke is not a team player but a selfish player.
The dumbass fool should be dropped immediately. The dude carries the foolish mentality of most African soccer players. I had to score in order brag and in the end lose the match
NGpatriot: Abandoned for 30 years and the FAILED PDP after 16 years in office did not even bother to touch it, but PMB completed the project in less than 3 years..
ipobcannibals: Spoken like a typical brainless Ipob cannibal. You have grown old but refused to grow a brain, now you’re close to your grave, close to your late hunchback suplim reader, namadi cownu.
The above junk indicates your level of intellect does not qualify you to enjoy this conversation.
aribisala0: In 1970 after the war the Nigerian government generally gave £20 of Nigerian money to every eligible adult but no one has ever done the math.
Let us assume their were one million of them =£20million Nigerian
We know that the Nigerian pound exchanged for £2 pounds sterling in 1970 so that would be £40 million . What would that be worth today
Assuming it was 1 million people that received the money. No one has ever told us how many did but I think it could be double that.
For a country to pay that out immediately after a war of such devastation is a huge feat considering that Nigeria was not even a major oil exporter in1970 and in 1970 oil prices were under $4 which when adjusted for inflation in today's money is $21.
It is a testament to the prudent financial management of Papa Awo who also kept the allocation of East Central state for 3 years and paid it all after the war
But they are not grateful and feel entitled to that payment. What have we done for the NE . Imagine finding 200 billion to give them today when oil prices in real terms are 3 X what they were in 1970
The standard of living was much lower. Let me put it in Perspective our standard of living then, There was no Lagos Ibadan Expressway. No East -West Road. PH to Aba was a single carriage way.The Air assault camp was the main airport in PH Omagwa airport did not exist. There was nothing like presidential jet. Where were the airports? The country was broke with very little compared to today but still gave generously in the spirit or sacrifice and reconciliation
The bolded is an idiotic conjecture only formed as a figment of silly imagination. Nigeria did not give £20 to every surviving male in Biafra. The £20 were given to anybody who had a proof of owing bank account before the Nigeria/Biafra war started.
Where is the evidence that that was Ojukwu's property
In 1985, Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru, then military governor of Lagos State evicted Emeka Ojukwu form Villaska Lodge which the governor claimed was an abandoned property. Yoruba, Ijaw and Ogoni peeps stole Igbo properties on the pretense of abandoned property in Lagos State and Rivers State.
Awolowo was only premier of Western Region between 1952-1959. During the civil war, Military Governors were the people in-charge of the S/West and not Awolowo.
Awolowo, was not in-charge of feeding Biafrans, so the often repeated allegation that he starved Biafrans is a bold lie.
What really happened was that the Federal Military Government effected a land, sea and air blockade of Biafra to prevent smuggling of weapons into the secessionist enclave.
It must be noted that by this time, the Ijaw, Ogoni, Oron ,Efik and most of the coastal peoples cooperated with the military Government to make sure that this policy worked.
The Gowon Regime provided a safe land corridors for food and other relief materials to reach Biafra with the condition of 100% inspection by Federal Authority, a great humanitarian gesture which the Biafran Authority rejected. Ojukwu, instead preferred air-lifting of food (+ weapons) from Sao Tome & Principle to land at a clandestine 'Airport' called the Uli Airstrip which operated between 12 midnight -3am.
When the 3rd Marine Commando under Obasanjo captured the Uli Airstrip in 1969, it signalled the beginning of the end of Biafra.
The bolded is very wrong therefore the subsequent junks are wrong too.
If Ironsi dealt with the coup plotters immediately and handover power to civilians maybe the counter coup won't have happened.
Killing of Ibos in the North was a terrible thing, but Ojuku knew seccesion is a crime in Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikwe was against the seccesion clause in our constitution, so secceding is a crime
Imagine if the Scottish just decide to secced from the UK without carrying other people alone.
You saw how it ended for the Catalonians in Spain?
No where in the world will Ojuku do what he did and it won't lead to a civil war.
He didn't just leave with Ibo land, he left will Cross River and Rivers State, the states that is not part of Ibo land.
The Nigeria's setback includes among other things the massive chunk of ill-educated goons roaming freely in the shithole.
ArewaNorth: You are the culprits and still expecting us to forgive or see u as innocent?
What did Murtala do that deserve this animalistic comment from u?
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria; Chief of Army Staff was from SE correct Chief of Naval Staff was from SE So Admiral Wey a Yoruba man is now igbo IG of Police was from SE So Louis Edet is Now an igbo man Chief of Defence Staff was from SE that post was none existent in the 60s Internal Affairs Minister SE So Majekodumi is now south east External Affairs Minister SE So Mathew Mbu is now south east Education Minister South SE correct Many other key ministries to SE can you give me the names of the key ministries Parliament President SE Nwafor Orizu was elected by caucus of both NCNC and NPC Unilag VC from SE Eni Njoku was appointed by the outgoing British Federal commisioner The University of Ibadan VC from SE Kenneth Dike was appointed by the British North resisted same at ABU! How did the north resist the first VC of ABU was Norman Foster a white man Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed. Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it! But the decree was never used. Gowon put a decree that gave rise to the quasi federal system we have today and not Ironsi. If you must know Gowon repealed Ironsi's decree after he was killed. Going by this cruelty u imposed and put Nigerians in u still have the gut to suspect those who corrected it sins, nonsense!
VOICEofORIENTAL: Travelling down east,from the north every Xmas,is a thing of joy for so many reasons.some of us are used to it.the usual football matches, traditional marriage, church wedding's, family meetings, dedication of new built House's, meeting old time friends/relatives & lots of eating, drinking & visitation makes most of us visit home during Xmas.. but beside this thing's mentioned above, there's this growing penchant to increase every thing by over 100% in Alaigbo.THE WORST PART OF IT IS THAT THE INCREMENT ARE DELIBERATE.. ESPECIALLY BY MY IGBO BROTHERS/SISTERS! picking a bike from okigwe to my village, used to be #200/250.. but this past Xmas they increased it to #500.. except the none igbos whose fares are much cheaper.RIGHT NOW, THE HAUSAS,BENUE,KOGI, PLATEAU & ADAMAWA HAS DOMINATES THE OKADA BUSINESS IN OKIGWE.. BECAUSE, THEY ARE FRIENDLY & MORE CHEAPER THAN MY OWN BROTHERS.my brothers hardly takes advice, they become hostile & aggressive each time you want to advice them.DO WE THEN KEEP QUITE?..NO WE SHOULD NOT! its not enough to be posting pictures of fine buildings while neglecting this act of wickedness among us... THE BIBLE;HE THAT COVERS HIS SIN SHALL NEVER PROSPER!...
You can relocate to Okigwe and take up Okada business thereby making it cheaper than present.
