Thanks. Aliyu designed Chevrolet Volt.

BKayy:
Which people do you think you are talking to?
Primary 2 children?
After all the academic evidences presented on this thread you just brought a useless video to buttress non existing point.
Now a quick question for normal reasoning no academic proof required, if the Narrow Guage is that great why use it for only East and standard for West and North?

Litmus:
States are better than regions; however the problem is that Liberal Democratic model adopted by much of the third world from the West is unsuitable for third worlds’ relatively unsophisticated masses preoccupied by Tribe. We need to tinker with the democratic precepts in order to arrive at a workable hybrid. Nigeria needs a central government run by a board of presidents not president. A board of presidents would enable wider tribal representation at the centre of government. I propose a new philosophy called Liberal Democratic Co operations or Democrat LTD - in any case - a sort of democracy along the lines of a business company. We keep the current states but we’ll no longer have an overriding National presidential election. We vote for our president locally i.e. the presidential candidate will be a local man or woman. We still keep the political parties. These political parties will compete for votes at the state level. Each party will field two candidates, Central and State presidential candidates. The candidate who runs on Central presidential ticket will – if he wins – represent the state at the federal level as one of the presidents on the Board of Presidents. The candidate that runs on the state ticket if he wins represents the party as a state governor.

In such a dispensation, majority of tribes will be satisfied that they have a president and we can all rest. There’ll be no more of these primitive wailing and gnashing of teeth about what tribe did this and what tribe didn’t do that. At least, the chances of such would be greatly diminished.


Problem with democracy in Africa or any current form of government has always been to do with tribalism. Tribal outlook. We all need to accept this shameful fact and stop deceiving ourselves.

Muna4real:
No he's not Igbo.

Ojiofor:
Nobody cares if he is Igboman or Nupe man.

Rossikk:
Can somebody tell this low IQ dunce of an op that Japan uses narrow gauge as it's standard rail specification till tomorrow? Same as Indonesia? Same as South Africa? Same as New Zealand?

I guess they all use antiquated cargo trains to convey their people, as the op claimed was Nigeria's plan for Igbos.

Hate-filled, tribe-obsessed donkey.

If you like write rubbish all you like. Engenni, Abua, Odual, Ogbia, Epie/Atissa are all central edoid people that speak an Ijoid language.

Kinematics:
Stop exhibiting crass ignorance. Burna boy is not Ekpeye, rather he is Engenni. There are about 3 tribes in Ahoada West LGA of Rivers State and Burna is Engenni an Ijoid people.

Kinematics:
All Ijoid languages are Edoid.

Kinematics:
Burna boy is Ijoid. Engenni!

Igboid:
Ethnomusicolist Charles Keil, who was visiting Nigeria in 1966, recounted:

"The pogroms I witnessed in Makurdi, Nigeria (late Sept. 1966) were foreshadowed by months of intensive anti-Ibo and anti-Eastern conversations among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northerners resident in Makurdi, and, fitting a pattern replicated in city after city, the massacres were led by the Nigerian army. Before, during and after the slaughter, Col. Gowon could be heard over the radio issuing 'guarantees of safety' to all Easterners, all citizens of Nigeria...

But the intent of the soldiers, the only power that counts in Nigeria now or then, was painfully clear. After counting the disemboweled bodies along the Makurdi road I was escorted back to the city by soldiers who apologized for the stench and explained politely..
that they were doing me and the world a great favor by eliminating Ibos." The Nigeria–Biafra War: Postcolonial Conflict and the Question of Genocide by Lasse Heerten & A.Dirk Moses. Pages 169-203,published in Journal of Genocide Research Volume 16, 2014 - Issue 2-3

sissoko22:
But other minorities like Igala are not considered the original inhabitant or owners of their land in the east.
My usual problem with an ipobian is their lack of sincerity and double standard.
I don't know for other minorities sharing borders with the Igbos, I'm 120% sure that no sane IGALA or IDOMA will cede with Biafra.
Why can't we have our own country?

calyto:
You are quoting a Nairalander's post with source from an unknown blogger to me. LOOOL!
Are you ok?
When did your oversabi start telling you that you know Benue more than Benue indigents?

From Otukpo to Ebonyi, we have the Idomas,Akweya's from Akpa, the Ufias from Utonkon and Ulayi, and the Agila's from Ado LG.
Oju only have one language which is Igede.
The Ezzas settled at Ezza Odumoke which shares border with Ebonyi and they are from Ebonyi State.

Please stop deceiving yourself. Abba Moro went there to make peace because you blood sucking Igbos won't stop killing our people

Check Benue Local governments and tell me where you will find Umuezeokeoha there.
You guys are just arrogant invaders. You are wrong but you always want all the sympathy

PHijo:
Really!!!

..and your Igbo kinfolk will be calling Ijaw "landgrabbers " for being placed in states like Ondo, Edo and Akwa Ibom.

The problem with you Igbo is that you are largely insincere and change your stance on issues immediately the issue is about you.

nathyx:
We Nigerians are always the inception of our own problems. Only just early this year the same Ado and Oju local govt were handing out traditional titles "Ezekuna " to Igbos probably after receiving heavy paychecks jus look at the outcome of it now. who are we deciving

calyto:
Do they speak Igbo in Benue? Ogbadibo, Ado, and Okpokwu shares border with you and none of them speaks Igbo so what is your understanding of the word 'Igbo'?
Oju shares border with Cross river and Cameroun but they don't speak calabar.
What is your point really?

Tranquill:
Shut the crap you big foool! What has Igbo got to offer Ikwerre people with your dubious ways of life and repulsive reputation you have acquired both home and abroad.
They have been sentencing your drug peddling brothers to death in Vietnam, Cambodia, China etc in the past week and that is what you should be thinking about than coming to nairaland to insult your forefathers. Ode nla!

Tranquill:
How you guys fabricate stories to push your stupi.d nonse. nse is so amusing. How is Amaechi and Wike from the same ancestral family in Obio/Akpo? They are both not from the same town nor local government area even. Where or when has Amaechi ever come out to say "I am an Igbo man". I have heard him talk about 'my igboness' which could mean anything or that he could speak Igbo language but show me where he said "I am an Igbo man"

garfield1:
There are a lot of igbos from the 5 eastern states who bear non igbo names or surnames like victor agor,Stella oduah,oseloka obaze,anyim pius, etc

Asswipemod:
So even of we go by your false narrative, does that make Akintola who was also killed complicit to the coup? See your life.

SLAP44:
Is that all?

200,000 northerners slaughtered in banditry and ethnic cleansing, which northern governor complained?

Buharri locked up Dasuki for 5 years and threw the key into the ocean

Northern citizens are kidnapping thousands of northern children and demanding ransom to release their own brothers and sisters

There no tribe in this world that can beat the record of northern hate against the north.

Graysons:
And you are the spokeman for Ikwerres?

Port Harcourt have nothing in common with igbos,I double dare you to try your igbo nonsense in port Harcourt let me see if you will walk out alive.
Meanwhile,I don't have time for noise makers.

Graysons:
The Ikwerres have told you straight to your igbo face that they are not IGBOS, i don't understand why unwanted souls like you guys keep sticking your nose where it doesn't belong .
Try to merge Port Harcourt with that your igbo nonsense and we will send you back to Jerusalem abi na isreal where your ancestor came from jew!

Graysons:
Ikwerres have made it clear that they are not igbo,so how in hell's name is port Harcourt an igbo city?

AlexBells:
Look who is accommodating, get ready to call the British once again, look at you everyone knew that Igbos did not give in to British rule same way we don't have to abide by whatever treaty you signed.

When the time comes, let Britain come from Europe and tell us about west Africa, same way the said Mungo park discovered river Niger when we had been drinking the water for over 3000 years, lol no be only British treaty, nonsense
