I am not surprised at your vomit. It is not funny you spotted a handle for Oduduwa Republic yet lacked the intestinal fortitude to actualize it. I have known loudmouths to stand for two things: cowardice and chameleonic. You did not disappoint on both counts.
Any head which thinks Nigeria should remain as presently configured is empty. Nigeria is dead and remains should regenerated into state of nations period. Only a fool thinks Nigerians have what it takes to grow unity. Nigerians hate each other to the point of death. Without unconditional likeness among Nigerians, unity shall remain elusive.
adekolaelect: Buhari and these Flatt headed poeple is five 5&6 in the show of hatred and unending envyness . As am seen it .It will be very diffiult for bubu to give political power to Igbos,Give Kanu freedom or allow Biafra to come in reality. Though Flatt headed poeple too are full of hatred and Insults . They failed to realise what is their problems but resulted in personal attack to every other Tribes in Nigeria. They always established on how to damage others but failed to build theirs politically.
It is unfortunate you regarded people who really wanted to distance themselves from goons such as you and Buhari as hatemongers. Kanu and IPOB simply wanted a different country for you, Buhari and themselves. What is the hate? If there is any hatred in the ongoings within Nigeria, it comes from maggots who wanted to choke Ndigbo and Biafrans in the shithole known as Nigeria.
Myexdisturbs: You're an idiot probably born by a fooll
You are one major reason Nigeria is called basket of fools. What the hell is 13th month? Nigeria is the only zoo where such out-of-human-intellect coinage is in vogue. It takes one idiot born by drooling fool to recognize another. In the world for human beings, worker's salaries are paid at the end of every fortnight. Ode!!
luizpippo: Governor El-Rufai said that Kaduna had continued to attract investments despite the insecurity. Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has described Lagos as a small place compared to his state which he claimed can feed the whole of five states in the South-East.
Kaduna Not Small Like Lagos, Can Feed Igbos In All South-East States - Gov El-Rufai Governor El-Rufai stated this while speaking with the State House correspondents on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, despite Kaduna’s worsening insecurity, the state continued to attract investments even though it could have been better.
He said, “Kaduna State is a huge state. We have 46,000 square kilometers. I joke with my colleagues from the southeast, Kaduna state alone can feed the five states of the southeast two and half times. It’s a huge state. So, the fact that there is insecurity in one part does not mean there’s insecurity everywhere. It’s not Lagos, it’s not a small place at all.
“Yes, we’ve had investment summit and they have been very successful. In the last five years, we have attracted nearly $3billion in investments in spite of all these stories about insecurity because investors know that large parts of Kaduna state are quite safe, they are safe as anything.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Governor El-Rufai also revealed President Buhari will spend at least two days in Kaduna in January to commission projects in Kafanchan, Kaduna and Zaria.
Copied
If governor El-Rufia is not a dumbass fool, he and poverty-stricken northern region should join the south-east in the quest for disintegration of Nigeria. The teste of the pudding is in the eating. Nigerians cannot know which region will starve to death until we go our separate ways. A goon who believed his hungry state can feed half of Nigeria yet shivers uncontrollably at the mention of disintegration of the zoo called Nigeria.
KosiGee: The hat, the fake hair, the windscreen on her face, the pose….she actually looked like an actress playing the role of witch….I think the only real apparel on her is the Gucci belt…
She seem to be portraying a Gucci witch, Too much of everything isn’t very good.
Between this woman and Salamatu Gbajabiamila, I don’t know who should take the trophy for a fashion overkill.
You are funny. The Gucci belt is definitely China. Salamatu Gbajabiamila is more of being in the hood than fashion. Salamatu is a signboard which reads "Do not mess with this Turkey"
udele1: Irrespective of who i am. The igbo families are mourning. Remember them in your prayers.
Despite the foolishness of certain goons to paint IPOB black, many Igbo families are sorrowing as a result of atrocities committed by the idiotic government of the shithole called Nigeria and its dumbass agents in uniform.
SlyDev: The money from Lagos is what is feeding your people, when will Abia and Imo pay their 34 month salary? Shey them want kill them with hunger?
The bolded is laughable. This type of loudmouthed idiocy is one reason I vehemently wanted Nigeria to be disintegrated. Lagos will fall flat on its face in space of weeks after the shithole called Nigeria exists no longer.
udele1: We must remember the family of professor Simon ndubisi. Who was killed like dr chike akunyili. Their only crime was that they had police escort and Nnamdi Kanu's men needed their AK47.
You are either a disgruntled IPOB who left the group or a secret of agent of the so-called Federal Republic Nigeria. In any instance, you do not deserve any place within independent Igboland or even Republic of Biafra.
massmediang: Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has paid 100 per cent of basic pay as 13th month package for workers in the state.
The alert of the 13th month salary started reflecting Friday, December 24, as many workers were preparing to do final Christmas shopping.
Many workers called into a phone-in radio programme on Ozisa FM Owerri in the morning of today, December 25, to confirm that the alerts of the payment had been received by workers. Recall that the governor had on Monday, December 20, revealed in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, that he would pay 13th month salary to workers.
He also promised to give the workers Christmas rice through their ministries, while deserving civil servants would be promoted.
Uzodimma told the workers during an interactive session with them in Owerri on Monday, that despite wrong assumptions from certain quarters, his administration held workers in high esteem and would continue to prioritise their welfare.
He also assured that his administration would not owe salaries of all verified 43,000 workers without issues, adding that he did not regard payment of salary as achievement “because the worker deserves his wage.”
The governor has fulfilled his promised as workers have now received the 13th month salary he promised them.
SayAsSeen: Hello friends, I'd like to ask intelligent and older minds for advise about an issue before I react.
My wife's elder brother is visiting my house and my wife has been serving his food first before serving and bringing my good, in my own house.
Please I just want to ask if this is wrong or right or even just normal?
I worked all through the night and was famished by the time the day broke this morning. I gave her some dough and told her to prepare me noodles and sardine, emphasizing on the fact that I was very hungry.
NOTE: Her Brother was still asleep at this time.
She prepared the meal, split it into two. Woke up and served her brother first in my guest room before coming to my room to give her hungry husband his food.
I was so mad, I ignored the food, went out to smoke a cigarette. While I was doing that it occured to me ask for advice here, because I didn't want to ask anybody I knew personally.
I still don't know whether to be mad, or to just ignore it.
I am a strong believer of common sense and respect and her actions this morning lack both! It would have take her less than 30 seconds to give me my food then go wake and serve her brother!
Is she told me she needed money for something and I put my younger sister's need over her's-no matter how tribal her's might be-i know how she'd react and the amount of making up I'd have to do.
I am trying to be very mature about this, that's why I keeping things anonymous?
Besides I'd like to know, I possibly can't be the only person who has experienced this sort of situation because they say there's nothing new under the sun. Please who has ever felt this way, I am very understanding and if something irks me, it would irk every body else too.
Wish I could explain better
Is the brother older or younger than her? If he is older than her, there exists a remote possibility he is equally older than you.
farem: PHOTO; King's College Lagos 1970: Balogun Chike-Obi (then in Form 4) receiving a Shell Petroleum Company book prize from Mr. Baxendell, at the time an executive with Shell in Nigeria.
Balogun Chike-Obi is a son of the mathematician and politician Chike Obi. According to Mustafa Chike Obi (Balogun's brother), their interesting names (considering their heritage) were influenced by their father's love of history.
“He [Chike Obi] liked [the name] Balogun, because my father was a student of Yoruba history. He believed that the Yoruba are the most organized among the ethnic groups in the south because of their war-like capabilities. There was a time the Fulani wanted to conquer Yorubaland but they were stopped in Osogbo by the Yoruba army. Balogun was a war chief in the Yorubaland and that was why he named my brother Balogun"
Mustafa, commenting on his own name said:
"He named me Mustafa for almost the same reason. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a Prime Minister of Turkey, during and after the first world war. Mustafa took Turkey from the primitive age to the modern age, and as a result, the country went from a Muslim State to a modern secular State. My father liked the way he helped the Turkish nationalists against the imperialists."
Balogun Chike Obi studied Physics at the university level and was a lecturer at the University of Ilorin.

The Caliphate marauders were not stopped at Osogbo by any Yoruba soldier but bottom power. I went to Osogbo, now capital of Osun State, to attest to the fact. At a point, I ask if bottom surgeons abound in Osogbo.
A former Nigerian Minister of Culture and Information during the military era, General Ibrahim Bata Malgwi Haruna, has cautioned the Buhari led Federal Government against alleged handling of treasonable cases with kid gloves, maintaining that it was such mistakes that caused the crises which led to the Nigerian civil war.
.”….The current government has to face laid down constitutional processes ,the rule of law. They have to assign the functions and strengthen the institutions to carry out their functions. It is disheartening that the law is not applied equally to all…as a soldier….consequent to the war ,we had coup makers. They were tried, they were shot. But today, incidents and facts pointing to treason,are being played around as a political game to waste other people’s lives,” he said.
Asked to give example, of incidents that worried him by the anchor of a programme on Trust TV, General IBM Haruna said, “Kanu is an example. Is it not very current? The leaders are asking that he should be released without trial and subverting the constitutional provisions of the rule of the judiciary, as supposed to the executive.”
ALSO READ: Heed Igbo elders’ appeal on Nnamdi Kanu, lawmaker tells Buhari When asked what he expected of the President on this, he said “well, he is the President, a politician .”
He however, warned that if the right things were not done when there are challenges of treason, “we would go back to the experiences we’ve of 1966, leading to civil war, loss of lives, wastage of economic power, in the end we’ve to come back and continue the game,which people want to reenact now,but it’s very disappointing.”
On the notion that the agitation for amnesty for Kanu and his likes ,was one way of bringing the country back together, Gen. Haruna said ” since this strategy started with the Niger Delta and so on,I mean it is a wrong prescription.We cannot continue with the wrong prescription.”
Another nepotistic product of AbubakarTafawa Balewa's government. This jackass failed Navy board selection yet find a way to make it to RMA when the position of Igbo chap was switched to him.
helinues: Drop that post shifting now now and answer the question
There is no post shifting in the ongoings. People staying in their respective regions without independence is silly at best. Such suggestion is a mere delusional approach to reality. If I had to stay in my region, there should be no resources from my region must be allowed to feed the goons from other regions. I am for the move for people to stay in their regions as long as autonomous right and freedom are conferred on them.
God1000: Nigeria is deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines, we don't like each other, we insult ourselves everyday, we dehumanise and degrade each other for nefarious reasons.
But outside the shores of Nigeria, we are all treated the same way, nobody wants to know your tribe, we all carry the same image and identity out there.
This is why we should refrain from playing ethnic card every now and then, because it's not healthy.
I still remember when I posted about my tribe (igede) on this platform and how some unscrupulous Nigerians lambasted me severely. Meanwhile I've defended Nigeria on different social media platforms from south Africans, Ghanians, Kenyans etc whenever they attack us more than any other person in Nigeria, yet some persons don't even want to hear about my tribe.
We are all responsible for our woes, be the change you want to see.
Are these not enough good reasons to disintegrate the shithole called into nation states? I personally have no good feelings for Nigeria.
LottiOk: Nairaland Ipob sympathizers/members gidygidy & emergingnation. Do u still need proof of ESN murderous spree on behalf of dia savior Mnk. Can't wait 4 u guys 2 b arrested, u must pay 4 aiding,defending ur fellow cannibals in dis 21st century
I shall always approve any method embraced by IPOB in order to actualize Republic of Igboland or Biafra. Ndigbo be prudent in the selection of words when you speak about Nigeria and IPOB. The need to achieve Self-Determination is greater than any single head. There are many people soaked in iniquity who are cable of precipitating nefarious activities so that IPOB should be the fall guy.
Paretomaster1: Oloriburuku somebody , why won't u mentioned my parents when u wake yours with sliding tackle every morning.
Take it or leave it you guys are hypocrits......Oponu is Nigeria an independent nation as at 1952 Mumunatu
It is good to know you regard independence as the beacon of your knowledge about Nigeria. I just want you to remain half-backed. I blame the Internet to have granted freedom of roaming to certain goons. The first comment in bold is a show of ignorance powered only by Yoruba.
Immatex: You mean the suicide mission Ojukwu under-took in the name of war? The one he later had to run-off into exile and had to receive state pardon like a common criminal? The same Ojukwu that contested for elective office thereafter and even formed a political party?
What did he earn, other than, leading millions to avoidable massacre? Now how many people remember he existed?
It's simple but you don't see it, your resort to violence has never solved any problem and won't solve.
Allow me educate you. The East is their own problem. Your leaders or should I say our leaders keep stealing pubic funds and ask you to blame the FG and you follow without questioning. Get your leaders to put tax payers money to good use and the East will be better for it. Biafra won't change wicked people to good people overnight.
You are entitled to your silly opinion. My travel through the lane of enlightenment had informed me that ironically, "Change is constant". When Ojukwu ran for elective office in Nigeria, I voted against him. My vote against him had nothing to do with Nigeria/Biafra war but starched within the amalgams of my political philosophy. Please how could I allow a dunce to educate me? What do you know about eastern region of Nigeria?
Paretomaster1: They have always been the hypocrites......Even before the war, they occupied juicy positions in the govt, but their greed push them to carry out ethnic Cleansing to take over, but it backfired.
It's only in the North, and other SW States u will see them occupying political positions and allow free hands to do whatever they want as NIGERIANS, but try to even be something in the East, they will start crying upandan.
Just see the comments against the picture below :
You have written like an ill-educated jackass. Mallam Umaru Altine from Sokoto was elected the first Mayor of Enugu in 1952. In 1954, Azikiwe appointed a Yoruba peep as the secretary to the eastern regional government. I honestly doubt if your father and mother were born within the dates stated.
Immatex: If you must know, I am Igbo not half Igbo. I live in the East not abroad. There's no geographical location called Biafra, if you don't know, know now.
It's safe to say that everyone who believe the lie called Biafra is a terrorist and terrorist sympathiser no matter how highly placed he is.
I am so convinced because in the name of the blind struggle with no clear strategy or pathway, you have directly as a terrorist or indirectly as a terrorist sympathiser (by community bloodshed) caused the avoidable deaths of countless people.
You have caused economic stagnation and provided no assistance to the people they falsely and fraudulently claim to liberate. Even Jesus Christ didn't let people die for him before liberating the whole of humanity.
In your selfish agitation you have foolishly followed the rebellious cause of a man with who speak profanity and curse humans he cannot create. You people have no shame.
And yes, I am bitter because you guys leading people to their slaughter run and hide when you meet your march in the field of war.
And just incase you didn't get the memo, the officer of whose reason I am replying you is a Nigerian of Eastern extraction, that's the current headline. I am sure she will ask people to kill their neighbours for her.
If you were born before Nigeria/Biafra war, you could not have vomited the above crap. Even the people who did not want Biafra to exist equally had acknowledged there was a Biafra hence Nigeria/Biafra war. There could not have been a war if Biafra never existed and had no territory.
wirinet: If you are an unbais observer as you claim, then i will try to educate you.
If you want to understand Nigeria politic, then you have come to the right place, and if you want to understand Nigeria history, then Google is your best friend.
Now to your questions; there is no proof that the generality of the igbos people wanted their own nation. In fact the only people that initially opposed joining Nigeria pre-independence were the hausas, they agreed to join after being convinced by the British. There had never been a referendum, plebiscite or poll to show that the igbos want their own nation. What happened was that there were massacres of igbos in the north as a result of power struggle between the ruling elites. The highest ranked military officer of igbos extraction felt he should be the ruler but was out smarted by his inferior. He took advantage of his position of being the governor of eastern Nigeria and the prevailing charged emotional atmosphere to unilaterally declare independence, and the Nigeria state naturally opposed the declaration and thus the Nigeria civil war.
Any educated person will know that you do not form a new nation is not formed by simple declaration by one person or a few individuals, if it was so African countries would have gain independence long before they did.
Then on how others are affected, a new nation would have effects on its neighbours, so the terms and boundaries of the new nations must be negotiated to avoid future conflicts. During the Nigeria civil war, other regions and tribes were attacked and occupied by biafra without warning, no body want to substitute one colonizer with another.
Hausa opposed the independence because they wanted British to continue the colonial system. The so-called Hausa had alleged they do not have the personnel to compete with other regions in local politics. Rightfully so, Hausa produce only one doctor as of 1950.
Rossikk: Somebody Needs To Write A Book On the Foolishness Of Biafra and Ojukwu
Many of us Igbos have for too long gotten away with playing the 'wronged victim' with regard to the Biafran War. We have refused to ask ourselves some deep questions about that war, which saw 2 million Igbo lives needlessly wasted. We have allowed our Igbo leaders to go virtually scot-free after leading us to the slaughterhouse, by propagating the myth that it was ''all Nigeria's fault''.
Somebody needs to write a book detailing the several missteps and foolish decisions made by the Igbo military dictatorship led by Ojukwu, with regard to the Biafran 'war' (slaughter more like).
Some points that need to be addressed include:
1) The declaration of secession was invalid and unconstitutional, having been reached by military fiat, as opposed to measurable democratic participation.
2)The decision to secede was made without commensurate investment in weapons and weapons sources, a pre-requisite for any military conflict, particularly against a major African power supported by global powers like the USA, Britain and the (then) USSR.
3)The decision to secede was made without commensurate investment in food and agricultural production, food import sources and entry routes, thus placing the Igbos at a distinct disadvantage, and at the mercy of the Nigerian govt - 'the enemy'. In fact the foolhardiness of such lack of strategic preparation accounts for the embarrassing statements recently credited to Chinua Achebe about Awo's conduct during the war. The failure of Biafran strategic thinking is evinced by Achebe's inadvertent admission that Biafra's survival was contingent upon Awo's sense of morality or lack thereof. The unwarranted power over Igbo lives thus granted Awo by this clumsy admission of his pivotal role in the conflict ought not to be lost on Achebe. Question is, WHY should Awo have had that power over Igbo destiny? He wouldn't have, had the Igbo leadership apriori done its homework.
4)Ojukwu's claim that he declared secession out of a need to ''protect Igbo lives'' was a dishonest and disingenous rationalisation, since there was no advance of federal troops towards the south or Igbo territory in the months leading up to the declaration. The political dispute in fact centred on the alleged failure of the FG to bring to justice the perpetrators of the northern massacres of Igbos in 1966. The immediate political event preceding the secession declaration was the announcement of the 12 state creation by the FG in May 1967. This meant Ojukwu's powers became territorially limited to the much smaller East-Central State Igbo heartland, as opposed to the entire East, which he ruled in his former capacity as military governor of the Eastern Region. The day after the FG announced the 12 state solution, Ojukwu declared secession. WHAT was the connection between the 12 state announcement and Ojukwu's declaration of secession? Why should we continue to be fed the line that he seceded in order to protect Igbo lives, if, as appears to be the case, he seceded because he could not countenance himself being limited to the East-Central State courtesy of his arch-enemy, Gowon's 'machinations'??
5) Why did the Biafran leadership bank on nations like France to provide military support to her secessionist bid, knowing full well that France was a staunch ally of the United Kingdom, who supported the Nigerian federation?
Why were they so naive as to count on French support?
Why were they so naive as to discount the fact that Nigeria had military and diplomatic support from the USA as well as the Soviet Union? Meaning they couldn't take advantage of the Cold War rivalry involving those two nations?
Why were these factors NOT taken into account before taking steps that would lead to military conflict?
I SUGGEST A TITLE FOR THE BOOK:
''OJUKWU'S BIAFRA - FOOLISHNESS INCORPORATED?''
Every single point noted in the above crap is very ignorant of the fact and idiotic too. What silly unconstitutionality is the malnourished dude on about when the constitution had been suspended? What a dunce. Regional governments do not stockpile weapons. Biafra was not even allowed to country for day before being visited with war of attrition. Again, the third point is as idiotic as the second. Eastern region was not a country as to stockpile anything including food. The fourth stanza is a stream of thought that can only come from delusion. There is no country in the world where citizens can only feel safe only in the domain of their ethnic enclave. Ndigbo and Biafrans were killed in northern region at a rate which was not even safe for Ndigbo and Biafrans in the so-called Nigeria army who saved in the northern region of Nigeria. This silly idiocy prompted the leader of July 29, 1966 coup to order everybody (civilians and soldier) to go home to their respective ethnic enclave.
NGpatriot: Nna, she's not the highest ranking female in the US military.
You low self esteem ipobs need to stop and embarrassing yourselves with your illiterate rubbish.
lol, you ipobs really know how to claim and be proud of Nigeria instead of biafra or ipobian terrorist region..
You are simply a kolanut cropper. You are so myopic that a telescope cannot help you read the caption of the thread. Most Nigerians are waste pipes. Even the caption is not accurate statement, you should have shown a manner equal to average intellect.
