What has the East ever given the South?

Biafra man living in Ikotun

The east is giving your parasitic 'one Nigeria' free oyel and gas, you this ungrateful schmuck! Where are you from....your state/region?

[quote author=HERITAGEFASHION post=120674782]The AKK natural gas pipeline is intended to boost Nigeria’s electricity generation capacity by adding 3,600MW of power to the national grid and provide electricity in the northern part of the country with supply from the south.


Seems am the only one that read "supply from the south"
You don't have oil but you built a refinery in Kaduna.
Some elements of the northern leaders are evil and heartless. [/quote

You forgot to add....'and greedy asf as well'! From 1970 to date next to nothing has been done for or in the south-east (formerly East Central State), while they've grabbed all manner of multi-billion dollar federally-enabled projects to the north (steel coy; steel rolling mills; refinery; int'l airports; new railway lines and stations; dams; etc)! Then they wonder why Igbos' are not happy with their 'one Nigeria'!

3duj:
That’s a swamp for runoff from floods. Notice how well the road was elevated . Will the whole of that estate be sand filled to reach the height of the road ? Did the even carry out an EIA report ? Unprofessional tampering will lead to disastrous floods in the future. Before the begin marketing it as an estate,the should construct drains and alternative water routes.

By the way, I suggested the Anambra state government take into its possession lands adjoining and around the new Niger bridge .I made this suggestion while the bridge was still some ways to being constructed and I got insulted by a fellow still causing mischief in this thread. We are seeing the result of the government not doing that - private ,profits at all cost opportunistic fellows are already fast at work.

Good suggestion! Same thing with the lands adjoining the new airport road.....that should be a gov't reserved area, used only for corporate buildings, 4 or 5 star hotels and aviation logistics coys.

pandax:
I cannot agree less with your submission on Roads and Town planning as the greatest challenge making Anambra not to be livable. There is no single dual carriage Road of more than 20km constructed by the State government in any part of the State, and it quite appalling.

I drove to PH from Awka via Ekwulobia-Uga-Osina-Orlu-Owerri -PH and i observed that from Osina to Owerri, Imo state government had dual carriage ways across these route and a lot of other roads within that axis were either dual carriage ways or they planned to it from its layout.

I ask Anambra state government what will it cost to:
1. demolish buildings from Amawbia flover to Amawbia roundabout on Onitsha Road in order to dualize that stretch of the road. Then dualize Amawbia-Nibo-Nise-Agulu-Nanka-Ekwulobia-Uga and join with Imo State boundary that has been dualized already.

2. Do a clover-leaf flyover at Airport junction at Nteje/Umunya on Awka/Onitsha expressway and do a South bound dual carriage way that will cut through Awka/Onitsha old road somewhere around Abagana or Ogidi and cut through Nkpor/Nnobi Road somewhere around Umuoji and join the eastern side of Obosi interchange. Then dualize Nkpor-Nnobi-Ekwulobia Road and Nnobi to Nnewi Road.

3. Dualize the 33 Road to Aguleri,with a spur to the new Airport. Connect a Road from Anambra East axis through Awka North and come out at Awka around the new government house at Aroma axis or around Esther Obiakor Avenue at Awka

4. Plan the areas around the new airport and all the stretch from the 2nd Niger bridge to Obosi interchange as these two places can be used to build planned cities that will befit the Dubai/Taiwan in your manifesto.

Godswillu:
Are they serious or is this a joke

I asked myself the same question!😟 then i remembered we’re in Nigeria….the theatre of the absurd and downright ridiculous, and reckoned it’s probably true! I mean, how absurd and ridiculous is it that the Nigerian state is allowing someone with so much baggage and question marks against his integrity, credibility and real identity, to have reached this stage in the election/campaign process without kicking him out of contention!?

Looks like Asari Dokubo didn’t get the memo!

Could be he’s just woken up and smelt the coffee!

CuddleBerry:
Obi for me and you

…..and the entire human race!

julaion:
useless fellow,am an Igbo man but Biafra is dead and buried

I doubt you’re Igbo, otherwise you’d have known Biafra isn’t dead! ‘Biafra is dead…Biafra is dead’, yet innocent people are still being murdered by the Nigerian state (both conventional and deep state) all in a bid to try and reign in the agitation!? If the issues that brought about the rise of this and previous/other secessionist movements aren’t addressed, then not only will said agitations not die, but the Nigerian state could collapse under the weight of its own contradictions!

It’s possible you are an alternative moniker of the OP, or you’re all in cahoots! Discernible individuals will notice the mind games you people are playing, and one has to wonder why this forum has allowed the OP to carry on spreading his lies and deceit! Isn’t this at variance with their ’no secession agenda allowed’ stance!?

Wish our local contractors, that are handling many of the road construction jobs in the state, could elevate the standard of their finishing to that of Julius Berger (JB)! Notice in the last clip attached that JB also takes the time to work on the landscaping/aesthetics of the job, like adding greenery to the surroundings of the just completed project. Also, notice the concrete-dividers/crash-barriers have clean lines and look appealing to the eye! And JB don’t like over-painting and decorating their jobs….this let’s the quality show and speak for itself! But i suppose it’s a question of…better soup, na money kill am!

On the part of the state gov’t, they should try and ensure these newly constructed roads are swept regularly and free of rubbish/sediment, and also regularly tend to the greenery as well….so we don’t come back in a years time and see it overgrown with unsightly elephant grass and strewn with rubbish!

LOL@'army rounding up Tinubus' political assistants'!

JimiJunji:
If we really want to be honest with ourselves there's no way 250+ ethnic groups with diverse political, social and cultural interests all lumped in one country can build a successful society, it's against every law of human nature and common sense. But greed and a general lack of critical reasoning is the bane of alot of Nigerians. I hardly comment on nairaland but reading this I just had to, in a few days Nigerians would go to the polls to try the same thing that has been giving them the same results..... It's really depressing.

Jumanji, you’re spot on and couldn’t be more correct! And to add to the volatile mix, they’re all lumped together under a unitary system of gov’t with some in certain ethnicities hating the guts of others from other ethnicities…and with one ethnicity thinking the entire country belongs to them! A combustible cocktail of contradictions just waiting to reach its flash point!

A GLORIOUS MANSION IN UMUNZE IN ORUMBA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ANAMBRA STATE.





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqVl9fTLlQ

Saw it on YouTube yesterday. Looks nice, but was hoping to catch a glimpse of the inside. Reminds me of those US celebrity houses we used to see on MTV Cribs.

Any kids having spending their holidays there would enjoy…there’s so much to occupy your time with and keep fit!

CASTOSVILLA:
Political moves to undermine the election process in Igbo land. The election must hold in Igbo land and nothing shall stop it. Peter Obi is our mandate over here.

I came to that conclusion months ago….but unfortunately, you don’t know the people you’re dealing with and their capacity for evil! They have access to gov’t instruments of coercion and mass murder and they’re determined to use them if that’s what it takes to keep Peter Obi out of Aso Rock!

AdJosh:
South East Governors are the most useless leaders we have in Nigeria.No vision for their citizens, no human development and critical infrastructures. Look at other regions developing at a rapid speed and we have some minions and riff raff here singing praises to our criminal governors when they commission Everyday supermarkets,1km road, they will call all TV stations, hire local musicians to sing in their name. Tuehh

They will hire all these baked half illiterates that has no idea about what good governance looks like to insult people anyhow, defending undefendable rascality.

Hehehehehe

Adjosh don vex be dat!

NwekereNdoki:
You are still repeating the same boring lines, fulani hate Igbos, yoruba hates igbos, bla bla bla.

I said I DONT CARE ABOUT WHO LIKES OR WHO HATES IGBOS. I ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW IGBOS WILL MOVE AHEAD DISREGARDING THEIR HATE.

U can't tell me that IPOB has brought any progres to SE. or AlaIgbo. U know u can't tell any sensible Igbo that

I don't have a problem with what they are agitating for, I only have a problem with how they have now decided to go about their agitation (this day we don't even know who is IPOB or who is not). What they are doing is bringing ANarchy to our land and will leave holes for termites to get in and eat up what we have left.

When you do nsogbu nsogbu finish you will be drawn back to the realization that the only way to stand strong is if you are either politically or economically powerful. If you have neither of them, nothing you do or says matters or would be taken seriously. U can of course keep using ur self to sacrifice to catch the bullets of illiterate soldiers. But that won't give you Biafra.

I do not believe in negotiating from a place of weakness. I believe in holding all your cards and calling your own shots.

SE and Alaigbo must start from now to build an economic powerhouse in all the SE states and AlaIgbo (SS inclusive) by investing massively into SE and growing our economy. In doing this we raise our bargaining power.

Going to shout Biafra without any of the two things I've outlined is putting the cart before the horse.

And Again I do not believe we need Biafra to build a better Igbo land. We only need a better Igboland that will thrive anywhere and in any country. I do not believe Fulanis or Hausas are powerful enough to keep any Igbo man down. I have never believed that, we are the ones apportioning too much power to them.

I see you've added more claptrap to your post since first repying earlier on!

Dude, you're all over the place with your argument (and in your case, i use the term 'argument' quite losely) neither sticking to one position or giving cogent reasons for said position!

If you don't 'care about who likes or hates Igbos' is it then any wonder you're placing blame for insecurity in the south-east at the wrong doorstep!? If you don't know what ailment you have, then just how TF can you fix it.....you'd just be chasing shadows and blaming the wrong persons for your travails! In any case, i'm not surprised at the kind of infantile arguments you come up with as one has to sound really stupid to see black and try to 'argue' that it's white! You have a mission on this and other Igbo threads, and my own mission here is to expose your 5th-columnist status!

Just how TF can any grown ass Igbo man, knowing the history of what we have been through with the hegemonic north in 'one Nigeria' from the 50s to date.....how they have shown in words and in deeds their hatred for Igbos'.....just how TF can anyone interested in addressing how we go forward and prosper as a people not take seriously their negative disposition towards Ndigbo!? Are you fcking kidding me!? It was this same uninterested and appeasing attitude towards the hegemonic north by Zik that made us not know the dangers we were going into agreeing to share the same country with them! At least the then Sadauna was honest enough to acknowledge there were schisms and intractable issues amongst the major ethnicities and regions, while on the other hand Zik wanted them overlooked! Now see where we are today with the loss of millions of our beloved kinsfolk and the undermining of our economic and political interests in 'one Nigeria'!

I believe the major reason the hegemonic north despises Ndigbo -apart from the religious aspect- is that we are a never-say-die people who love a challenge and have the drive, tenacity and staying power to take advantage of opportunities at our disposal to progress economically and do well for ourselves, and they find it hard to compete! The core north has a different worldview and values, and would usually come second place to the Igbo in any competing educational, economic and political environment! The hegemonic north was never comfortable sharing the same space with Ndigbo because of this and this could be seen in that infamous interview the then Sadauna gave where he disparaged the Ndigbo proclivity to strive for success wherever and however they find themselves! I believe part of the reason we have found ourselves holding the short end of the stick in 'one Nigeria' is because of this attitude our elite have to be so trusting, naive and think everyone else values life and the principles of fairness, equity and justice like we do! This is our achilles heel!

Dude, if you're looking for who to 'bring progress the south-east or Alaigbo', why TF are you looking in the direction of IPOB!? With that your 'one Nigeria' mindset, don't you know the south-east and Alaigbo have existed in your 'one Nigeria' since 1960 and IPOB was formed just a little over a decade ago!? So for half a century, Ndigbo have been doing things your 'one Nigeria' way....with no IPOB butting in to dagbaru proceedings! So where then is the El-Dorado.....the 'miracle' transformantion of Alaigbo? Did we attain uhuru before IPOB appeared on the scene? Was there peace, harmony, justice and equity between Ndigbo and the hegemonic north and their southern partners!?

[b]You see what you're doing? You are blaming IPOB for the evil machinations of the bigoted Buhari admin' and their hegemonic northern partners which has seen them illegally rendition Mazi kanu from Kenya....stall the judicial process since they know they don't have a judicial leg to stand on.....and then brazenly disregard a legally binding court order that has given Mazi kanu his freedom and instructed he be released forthwith! While this intransigence by Buhari and his evil partners was going on, a plan was then set in motion to try and 'factionalise' IPOB (this was when we saw the emergence of sponsored dingbats like the ekpa bastard, chinasa nworu, DOS, autopilots, etc) and this was when we started reading of conflicting interests within 'IPOB' and well as reading unreasonable statements/tweets from these compromised scumbags about sit-at-home (which IPOB have said severally has been called off) Biafra, etc! IPOB have released a statement saying the ekpa scoundrel is not one of them and doesn't speak for them! Equally, Mazi Kanu and IPOB have sued for peace in the south-east region and condemned any form of violence in their name! IPOB has equally said they have not said elections shouldn't hold in the region! Given all the aforementioned, it's then a wonder how anyone with a working brain can't see the obvious hand of the deep-state...the Buhari gov't, and their hegemonic partners in all the bloodshed and insecurity going on in the south-east![/b]

It's NZOBGU-NZOGBU and not NSOGBU-NSOGBU! The literal translation of nsogbu-nsogbu would mean for instance a group of angry young men, moving forward energetically in a dancing fashion, and stamping their feet on the ground in unison as they vigorously sing 'trouble-trouble...enyimba, enyi'! Does that even make sense!

Ndigbo have always tried to do things by the book in Nigeria! We have always wanted to treat others fairly even as we expect to be treated fairly ourselves, and this is in keeping with our Egbe belu, Ugo belu..... philosophy! However, like i alluded to earlier, there are some who don't go by this maxim and would much rather cheat others while they take more than their fairshare in politics, economy, and the distribution of our commonwealth! You could see Ndigbo showing this sense of fairness and justice in the way we stuck up for and supported our Ijaw neigbour for president even though this would have worked against our political interests! You could equally see injustice being visited on us on many occassions: Ibeto/INNOSON/Air-Peace travails; stealing hydrocarbon rich parts of Alaigbo and placing in other regions/states to be manged and enjoyed by others; denying Ndigbo (purportedly a 3rd leg of the tripod) any commanding presence in the security architecture of the country; depriving Anambra of its 13% derivation payments until Obiano had to go to Abuja to kick up a fuss; the refusal by some to acknowledge it is now [i]Igbo lo kon; etc![/i] We hate injustice....whether it's being visited on us or anyone else, and we're fiercely protective of our freedoms as well!

Nobody needs to lecture Ndigbo on how to be economically and politically strong! In a fair and just society (which Nigeria is not), we would do well and compete with the best at the top! However, in a country like Nigeria, where the system is rigged against us and we see the other two legs of the tripod trying to undermine our political and economic interests at any given opportunity, there's little else one can do besides fight ones corner! It's this fighting for what's ours that has rubbed some up the wrong way and they are determined to bring us down a peg or two to the 'enslaved/3rd-class' status they feel is appropriate for us since they reckon they are the 'victors' in the '67-'70 uncivil war and that Nigeria belongs to their hegemonic ass!

NwekereNdoki:
Actually your submission is the naive one.

Read "Why Nations Fail" and you will see why you should not allow an organization like IPOB/ESN thrive in SE today.

the most important message SE needs right now is the message of reorientation and admonishing our people to invest home and lets build a better economically viable SE.

Nothing else matters now.

If IPOB is not doing that, they are only contributing to the restivity of SE and that is the last thing we want now.

I don't care about what have been done to the Igbos, for now, I only care about what Igbos can do for themselves to build a better Igboland

The bolded caught my attention….everything else you wrote is wishy-washy claptrap!

Who brought about the existence and acceptance of IPOB and preceding secessionist organisations that came before them in the south-east…..Ndigbo or the evil hegemonic Nigerian state who, since the late 60s, has embarked on a hateful and vindictive campaign of marginalisation and sabotage of Igbo interests both in the region and nationally!? Those bold enough to give you reasons for their hate will tell you ‘Ndigbo sent Nzeogwu, et-al, to murder their leaders while leaving ours unharmed’!😳 In essence, telling you THE UNCIVIL WAR HAS NOT ENDED! Now which people, who don’t consider themselves to be enslaved, will accept to continue shouldering such blame!?

The problem with people who reason like you is that you always start the story halfway….and even the one you tell from the halfway point is usually a tissue of lies, half-truths and revisionism! It was Philip Effiong, while signing papers that signalled the end of the uncivil war, that said something to the effect that if the issues that brought about the ‘67-‘70 hostilities are not resolved, that Nigeria could witness a reoccurrence in future! Emir Sanusi also argued along those lines as well when he stated (and i paraphrase here) that the children of Ndigbo who didn’t witness the war could rise up against the Nigerian state if issues of perceived injustice and marginalisation against them aren’t addressed! Till tomorrow, those issues haven’t been addressed as the Nigerian state refuses to confront its demons but rather prefers to either use bullets to try and cow agitators into submission or sweep any thorny and intractable issues of nationhood under the carpet and pretend not to notice the elephant in the room!

You think Ndigbo love confronting the murderous Fulani controlled Nigerian state!? You think they don’t like peace!? IPOB and MASSOB had existed many years before the coming of Buhari and Uzodinma, and during this time the south-east region was adjudged as the most peaceful in the country! To any inquiring mind, that should point to the fact that these secessionist organisations are peaceful! But not you and your type! As far as you’re concerned, IPOB woke up one fine morning like that, and out of the blue just decided to ask for secession….and because they don’t like the faces of Buhari and Uzodinma, they also decided to pick up arms and start murdering, butchering and cannibalising themselves….something they’ve NEVER been known for! Your problem is that you’re reading the story as narrated by the very same animals responsible for what has and is happening in the south-east today!

One incontrovertible and unimpeachable fact is that there are three major ethnic grps in Nigeria: Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani! Now of this tripod, two have produced presidents or head-of-state….MORE THAN ONCE, with one of them even having had a go more times than one cares to remember! Now in a fair and just society (which you’re implying Nigeria is, as you see no reason for the Igbo to agitate), one would expect the ‘favoured’ two to join hands with the marginalised one and choose who they’d prefer as president from that region/ethnicity! But as we speak, the have both greedily elected to throw fairness, equity and justice out the window as they try to scheme, bribe and threaten their way into Aso Rock! Do you think the other two would have tolerated such a travesty of justice from the third leg had they been similarly treated and cheated out of producing president/head-of-state for more than half a century!? It’s not even as if the greedy two are prepared to allow a free and fair contest! As we speak, they’re engaged in all manner of subterfuge and illegality to try and steal the election! This can be seen in all the goings on with PVC collection in the south-east and Lagos!

Forget empty and meaningless soundbites and platitudes alluding to a nonexistent ‘unity’ and ‘nation’….there’s nothing like a nation called Nigeria! It’s just a mere geographical expression and a forced union of unlikely bedfellows! If someone, through their actions and utterances, let’s you know they have no regard for you and see you as 3rd-class citizens that should queue up behind them, then it’s time to ask yourself some hard questions on whether it’s really worth continuing to share the same country with these people! Their negative attitude and view of Ndigbo will NEVER change, and even generations down the line, they will still continue to blame Ndigbo for the Nzeogwu coup and continue to rationalise their hateful actions based on this! If this is the country you want your offspring to inherit, then i’m afraid you’re nothing but a ‘happy slave’….one prepared to offer his head to break the hard coconut of Nigerian ‘nationhood’ and ‘unity’ while others enjoy the benefits!

ahiboilandgas:
mr Man go hold your governor responsible.

He’s right! One has to be naive not to know this was all what Buhari wanted power for….to take more than their fair share to the muslim core north while telling the rest of the country there’s no money! Don’t look for paper-trails showing how the funds were acquired and diverted to the north! In all probability you may not find such a trail! These hegemonic northerners are as willy and sneaky as they’re bigoted! Pray, what does Kano do that generates the money they’re using for building these ‘notice me’ projects!? Besides their cornering a larger share of our commonwealth through inflated population figures, useless landmass and a plethora of LGAs, where else is the money coming from!? And don’t even get me started on Katsina in general and Daura in particular! This is all what ‘one Nigeria’ is to these people, and why they’re obsessed with wanting to sustain it….even as quite a lot of them despise Igbos’ with passion!

A oil and gas state like Imo has been so cheated that it can’t even find the kind of the funds available to Kano, Katsina or Kaduna (both legally allocated and got through wuruwuru), but they will expect everyone to keep quiet and join them to be cheering on Buhari and Nigeria!?

Penguin2:
I’m not happy that the PDP governorship candidate in Abia died but I think God has finally remembered Abia; and if the price was for that man to die so that the entire state can be free from bondage, then so be it.

Alex Otti is the next governor of Abia.

Let’s see if Abia can have fresh air for once since 1999. Their ordeal is now a matter of national emergency.

There’s no need to comment on Obi’s presidency because that is already a done deal.

If docile Abians don’t get off their ass and pull out all the stops to ensure Alex Otti wins, then they deserve the ridicule and whatever else comes with sitting by jejely and watching as one incompetent rouge after another steals their destiny and that of their children!

The only person who tried small is Ikpeazu with the attempt he made with Aba roads, but given the fact it’s Abia we’re talking about here, they’re punching way below their weight!

Jcoleworld911:
Still yet, you can’t excuse ipob activities in Anambra state and Igbo land in general

I once supported ipob but immediately mnk formed his militia wing(esn)I knew immediately that ipob will be a calamity to ndi Igbo

He couldn’t fund them, they immediately attacking police stations and start taking their guns, releasing hardened criminals from prison etc Mind you that most of this people aren’t Igbo, some are ijaws while some akwaibom/cross river, mnk wanted to Unite south east with south south so he choose to form his military wing with both zone, that’s the greatest undoing of him, so they don’t care if they burn down alaigbo because they ain’t from there. All the blames must go to mnk and his ipob, since Uche Mefor left the group, mnk strategy isn’t working again, he’s always doing to appear better than his second

Now, look at Simon ikpa and the other faction(dos) fighting for supremacy, killing each other and countering each other instruction/ directives, Simon ikpa have started what mnk was doing then, recruiting criminals and touts to carry out his directives.

All of them need to go back to the drawing board or less they will finally lost the support they are getting, although many of us have withdrawn our support, the way all this kidnapping and killings is going I bet you one day the people will rise against ipob, mark it somewhere especially this Simon ikpa directives on no election in Igbo land.

Thank you

You people prattle on and on about IPOB ‘criminality’ but have NOTHING to support your lies besides social-media gossip, conjecture, beer parlour talk and the lying words coming from the Fulani controlled Nigerian army/police!

Your criminal Nigerian army went out in the cold light of day to murder policemen in their bid to free a Fulani terrorist (Wadume); they have been implicated in the attacking of settlements in the core north and middle-belt that are predominantly Christian; no less a person than TY Danjuma has called them out for colluding with terrorists; it’s known that the evil Nigerian army has taken in ‘repentant’ terrorists; you ‘loving and just’ Nigerian army attended the Endsars protest at the tollgate a few years back….murdered a few innocent NIGERIAN youths, and denied everything without even batting an eyelid; etc! This is the flawed and bigoted nature of the Nigerian security bodies and you want us to take their word as gospel!?

Any Igbo you care to ask (and i don’t mean naive ones like you…that’s if you are Igbo) will readily tell you this present Buhari junta is the most anti-Igbo government EVER, and one of the manifestations of the hatred Buhari and his hegemonic ilk have for Ndigbo shows in their TOTAL absence in the command of ALL military and paramilitary bodies, as well as security bodies like the DSS and ministry of defence….does anyone really expect such a setup to care and speak up for Igbo interests!?

I have always conceded that some Igbo elements may have been involved in the attacks on police personnel and formations, and this was the obvious fallout of the many years of state sanctioned murder that went on in the south-east which the rest of Nigeria either IGNORED or treated with levity! It’s also possible some of those attacks were false-flag operations…part of the wider plan to try and implicate IPOB as ‘terrorists’! I do not support extra-judicial murder in any shape or form, but if you push a people to the wall…murdering them in cold blood and implying they can do nothing, eventually the siblings of those murdered will damn the consequences and fight back! None of us knows how we’ll react if our brother, sister, cousin or child is a victim of state-sanctioned murder (God forbid), but i can assure you the reaction will not be rational…especially when you’re being laughed at and mocked on social-media for your loss! In any case, the key thing to bear in mind is that IPOB didn’t sanction or send anyone to go kill any Nigerian security personnel! The only time IPOB were involved in any fight with Nigerian security forces was when the evil Fulani army came for them thinking it was business as usual and still open season for killing ‘nyamiris’! This started in Imo….Orlu to be precise, and i think IPOB also went to assist in Obigbo when the pogrom-loving Fulani army of Nigeria were carrying out a similar killing spree there! In both cases, the army showed up to ‘help’ their criminal herdsmen/terrorist cousins engaged in a fight with Igbos’! This is the same useless army that NEVER bothered showing up when Uzo-Uwani and Nimbo were attacked and when there was a prison break and a staccato of shots heard at Owerri that lasted for nearly an hour!

You talk of withdrawing your support for IPOB when they formed ESN, but omitted to mention what led to its formation and how the useless federal and state gov’ts in the south-east were either unwilling or unable to put a stop to all the attacks in the south-east by Fulani herdsmen/militia/terrorists! Keep your useless ‘support’….no one needs it!

Uche Mefor is a embittered fool who was in it for what he could get out of it! IPOB is better off without him! Since he left, the challenges and problems confronting Ndigbo for which IPOB was formed still persist, yet he has gone quiet….most likely he’s been bought by the evil hegemony!

If you’re observant you’d have noticed ALL these idiots purporting to be IPOB factions and who claim to speak for IPOB (the ekpa dolt, DOS, chinyere abi na chinasa nworu, autopilots, etc)….ALL of them were formed after Mazi Kanu was kidnapped from Kenya! They are all creations of the Fulani-controlled Nigerian state and they doing exactly what they were formed to do….create a sense of insecurity in the south-east to try and turn the hearts and minds of Ndigbo and the int’l community against IPOB and make it look like the organisation are ‘unreasonable terrorists’! You can now begin to understand why they don't want to obey a court ruling and release Mazi Kanu.....his release will put a spanner in the works of their nefarious and clandestine antics in the south-east! They need him out of the way so they can continue to capitalise on the sit-at-home threats of the ekpa bastard!

False-flag operations are carried out in the south-east in which high-profile crimes are committed or high-profile individuals are murdered as the masked murderers, wearing IPOB insignia, declare into the camera that they’re ‘fighting for Biafra’ or they claim to be IPOB/ESN! Only a naive person would not recognise the set-up! Dr Akunyili, the INEC official, the murdered soldiers who were filmed, and this recent one of the beheading of the LG boss….all these were carried out by the same group of deep-state actors! These vermin are non-Igbo and it would be near impossible to apprehend them because they’re holed-up in army and police barracks in the south-east! I suspect some of them are ‘repentant’ terrorists too!

On numerous occassions IPOB as well as Mazi Kanu have called for a stop to insecurity in the south-east....incase some emotionally misguided Igbo elements are engaged in fueling insecurity in the name of IPOB and Kanu! You conveniently overlook this because it doesn't feed into your 'IPOB and Kanu are bad' narrative!

A lot of Igbo are too naive and trusting to recognise what’s presently going on in the south-east regarding the presidential elections: PVC collections....this also includes Lagos; sit-at-home (which IPOB have said numerous times has been called off); and high-profile murders in the region! All this is aimed at trying to negatively affect the support from Peter Obis’ support base and hopefully affect voter turnout in the region on election day! The animals who has previously focused all their attention on trying to implicate Mazi Kanu and IPOB as ‘terrorists’ have now got an added reason for causing bloodshed and mayhem in the south-east: the upcoming presidential elections!

One thing that is assured is that if, by Gods grace, Peter Obi wins and they don’t manage to manipulate the outcome of the election, i can assure all reading this that all this criminality, murders and silliness presently being witnessed in the south-east will end…highest two weeks after President Obi is sworn into office! Ndigbo are generally peace loving and law abiding citizens and it would be shown when peace returns to the region once again and the south-east resumes its position as the most peaceful region in the country! This madness came with Buhari and Uzodinma, and it will leave with them!

Hehehehehe

This OP specialises in hunting for crimes purportedly carried out by Igbos’ so he can rush to nairaland to create a thread….then a mod (who should know better) will take it up from there and rush it to front page!

Corrinthians:
I pity Igbos.🥺🥺

God bless Nigeria.♥️♥️

By the way, why are they rushing to get the notes? Didn't Kanu launch a currency for Biafra the other year? Didn't we see Igbos create threads in jubilation of people burning the naira notes?

The people of the East are so wise. 😫

You have a sick preoccupation with anything to do with Ndigbo even though you despise them passionately! No be madness be dat!?

It should be obvious to observers by now that you Igbo haters are the ones driving this sit-at-home narrative….both on media and occasionally on the ground by going out to commit murder just to try and sustain the element of fear!

IPOB have long since cancelled said sit-at-home, but you vile bigots have seen it as an opportunity to try and weaken Peter Obis’ south-east support base! This is what all this is about now and why you insist on trying to keep the issue in public discourse and social-media!

You are either Yoruba or Fulani (if i’m mistaken then tell us your ethnicity), and can’t imagine a situation where those you’ve seen as ‘defeated slaves’ can be president of your ‘one Nigeria’…..a position you see as reserved only for the Fulani or Yoruba!

Hehehehehe

Looks like Buhari has really got it in for Tinubu….who of recent has been running his mouth like a broken tap!😳

Kindly give back to Lagos State all the Customs duties FG collected from Lagos Ports And Seme Border

and you will know how the FG has been Setting Lagos and the entire SW Back


You cannot claim the result of the Vision that Awolowo and his predecessors slaved and were jailed for
In those days all Major Highways And Bridges were built by the Nigerian Government Including the ones at Jebba, Onitsha.,Idah, Lokoja And Highways in every part of Nigeria


It was Awolowo that built ikeja and it’s Surroundings out of a Thick jungle that was Swarming with Antelopes, Monkeys , Leopards, Gorillas And Elephants
Into the Commercial Capital of the Western Region , Under awolowo ikeja Division included all the lagos Coast outside lagos Island

The Dream that made lagos into an Economic Power was Awolowo’s Dream and in 1962 Awolowo was Jailed for that Dream




.Below is the 1962 map of lagos

The dot at the bottom was where the Capital Was all the rest was under the Western Region

You can see that more than 97% of Today’s lagos was in Awolowo’s Western Region

Even Lagos Island was handed back to Awolowo as part of the Western Region at Independence


The Western Region allowed the National Government to Continue using Lagos Island as the Capital only

out of Consideration for the National Interest

Do take it easy with your revisionism and struggle with the truth! Awo ‘was jailed for a dream’!? Do you go back and reread the shit you type before posting it!?

You are despicably sad for trying to ridicule, make light of….and write off the efforts of ALL Nigerians to make Lagos what it is today!

Besides all the projects and attention given to Lagos by the colonial gov’t and subsequent federal civilian and military gov’ts (of which a lot of the financing came from sales from oil fields in Igboland), Lagos also benefitted from the warped centralised and anti-Igbo political-economy put in place by the military and their Yoruba helpers after the uncivil war…a political-economy that, through political engineering and scheming, saw Lagos made the major and preeminent commercial and industrial base for the entire country and its major gateway, while the then East Central State was ignored to rot! You want to link Awo to whatever Lagos has become when in fact we all know Lagos has gained the economic and demographic leverage and traction it has today primarily because of the aforementioned scheming and targeted policy of excluding/ignoring other southern regions to its benefit!?

If left to just the Yoruba from ‘independence’ till today, with no input from Ndigbo, Ijaw, Uhrobo, Itshekiri, Efik/Ibibio/Annang, Tiv, Hausa, Fulani and many others, you really think just the Yoruba could make it the cosmopolitan, Industrial and commercial regional behemoth it is today!?

I can mention the numerous flyovers, national theatre, national stadium, FESTAC Town, the sustaining and upgrading of Apapa wharf as well as the newly built Tin Can wharf, Tafawa Balewa Square, 1004 flats, federal secretariat, the attracting of federally enabled industries to Lagos industrial layouts (Guiness, UAC, PZ, Coca-Cola, etc), the siting of headquarters of banks, oil coys and other multinational coys in Lagos, the decades long presence of high commissions and embassies, and many other benefits the state derived from the ‘special attention’ it got from the Nigerian state! All this inevitably led to Lagos being a magnet for Nigerians from all over the country and has fckall to do with Awo and whatever ‘dream’ you claim he had and was locked up for! Can you mention, as I’ve just done, what exactly Awo built in Lagos?

Ibadan was the capital of the Western Region, so why didn’t Awos’ dream extend there to make it as thriving and look like Lagos is today!?

Never mouth off that Nigeria is setting Lagos and the south-west back because whatever ‘setbacks’ you may claim are all of your making! You had the choice, when the hegemonic north was preoccupied with Biafra in ‘67-‘70, to tell us all to go sling our hook but instead you chose to join the hegemonic forces to sustain ‘one Nigeria’! You could have had a independent Oduduwa nation today, but instead you were busy obsessing about the ‘okoros’ and Biafra!

Goke7:
Interesting to know how it's the fault of other Nigerians for Bianca to be denied political privilege in her native Igboland, so laughable.

For your last paragraph, this is why some of us feel or fear Nigeria may not be ready for restructructuring. You can't continue to drag other people's lands with them even threatening to overrun them with the excuse of being a former capital, especially where places like Lokoja and Calabar were also former capitals, It is ojukokoro (covetousness) and yes it will be resisted.

Dude, quit reading false and misleading meaning into my argument! Are Ndigbo, though forced at gunpoint, not part Nigeria? If so, then how did you somehow twist my words to make it look like i’m ‘blaming other Nigerians’!? Fact of the matter is, since ‘independence’, ethnicities in Nigeria have picked up bad habits not in keeping with values, norms and morals held during colonial times! Any honest Yoruba (your own ethnicity i take it) would quickly tell you of those values and norms that held their society together and ensured there was justice and fairness for all….same with the Igbo and other ethnicities! Over the years post ‘independence’, some of these values, norms and traditions have either been watered down to the level of near-insignificance or disappeared completely! This is the effect of having lived for decades in a corrupt and lawless society such as Nigeria has become since the 60s!

Ever heard of the expression, ‘let Nigeria not happen to you’? I’m sure you have! That statement is alluding to the decadence and lawlessness that’s now commonplace in Nigeria of today!

That cohesiveness….that feeling of anyi bu ofu and igwebuike, have been watered down since ‘independence’ as different cleavages and divides emerged amongst Ndigbo based on Nigeria-created political boundaries! The issue of Bianca Ojukwu is Anambras’ loss as we all know she is bold, outspoken and would have been a credit to her people. I’m sure whoever takes the seat would have been part of those who whipped up the ‘she’s not from Anambra’ frenzy, and this is the senseless schisms and divides i’m talking about! This same scenario would be mirrored in many other states and gov’ts!

Dude, you can’t be shamelessly speaking from both sides of the mouth and expect to be taken seriously! You’re a ‘one Nigerianist’ no doubt, and your ilk are known for being two-faced and deceitful! You can’t support ‘one Nigeria’ and the constitution it presently operates (as flawed as it may be), yet stupidly assert that Lagos is only for the Yoruba (no matter their state) to govern and own! Are you mad!? You’re afraid of restructuring because you feel other ethnicities will have a stronger presence in Lagos state governance!? You see how you reason stupidly!? The only fools that reason like you do are Tinubus’ thugs and those Yoruba he has criminally enriched at the expense of the wider good of the state! This is all what this una anti-Igbo stance is all about…trying to protect your godfather and his criminal enterprise/turf from ‘outsiders’ and the scrutiny that’s bound to follow in a truly democratic setup!

Lagos belongs to ALL Lagosians, no matter their ethnicity, and everyone of them has the right to participate in its governance! Had Calabar and Lokoja benefitted from the same level of federal funds and attention post ‘independence’ as Lagos and Abuja have, then all Nigerians would be entitled to participate in their governance as well!

If e sure you, campaign vigorously for Oduduwa Republic so you can keep Lagos all to yourselves and then be in a position to dictate terms to Ndigbo still daft enough to live in a country with hateful bigots like you!

You said it all. Its good Soludo is intentional about transforming Awka. I believe a lot of things will change in the city when the new Govt house is completed. I hope Soludo builds it to the very best standard.

Anambra would have gone very far by now if not for the activities of these criminal elements known as IPOB that slowed down the pace.

God Bless Obiano. God bless Soludo and Anambra state.

IPOB haven’t been blamed on this thread in a while so i suppose you felt it needful to try and find a way to sneak in a ‘honourable mention’ even if there’s no nexus between IPOB and any insecurity/criminality in the state!

Mention how IPOB are ‘criminals’ and how they ‘prevented Anambra from going far’!? Just what are those indices/metrics that support your claim?

A lot of you are on here for the sole purpose of trying to ‘justify’ the terrorist tag the despot wickedly pinned on IPOB, and make it look like Ndigbo are joining bigots, hateful impostors and gullible Igbo to buy all the lies churned out against the organisation and Mazi Kanu by the hegemonic propaganda machinery! This is the same useless Buhari gov’t that, as we speak, are yet to designate Fulani herdsmen as terrorists even though they have been recognised as such internationally!

Buhari sits by and allows criminality to fester, not just in the south-east (that was adjudged the most peaceful region in the country before his arrival in 2015) but all over the entire country, and a large part of this criminality is caused and driven by his murderous kinsfolk masquerading as ‘security personnel’ and ‘herdsmen’! You never mention this existential threat we’re faced with courtesy of the sahelian invaders…all you’re interested in is trying to keep the IPOB blame flame alight! Upon all the SHIT going on in your country, all you can think of is how to blame IPOB….a organisation that would not be existing today had we all been in a fair, equitable and just country!

Lagos State was not the Capital

Lagos Island was the FCT Capital

As you have said do not mix issues up

The remaining 97% of Lagos State was inside Awolowo’s Western Region

.

Nice try mate!

Then why don’t you confine your covetous ass to just the portion of Lagos Awo developed…and pay back to the federation account all the billions of dollars of our commonwealth spent developing Lagos mainland!? Until you cough up all those billions, you have no right to want to claim everything for yourselves! What do you take the rest of us for….mugs!?

2nd Generation Igbo who identify themselves as Yorubas and have been Yorubanised in ulture
Can be Governor once People are confident of tbeir full loyalty
Gov Aregbesola of Osun was a fully Yorubanised 2nd Generation Egbirra

What is the chance of Doesn Ebonyi man becoming the Governor of Anambra ?
Does it happen in the SE

No!I

Ordinary Bianca Ojukwu was fought in Anambra for being from Enugu

It is so annoying and UnGodly

You’re mixing up issues here…probably on purpose!

Nigerians (no matter their ethnicity, state or region) generally have this knack for getting too possessive and territorial regarding allowing others to enjoy political….and sometimes even economic- ‘benefits’ derivable from their state, and this isn’t peculiar to any ethnicity or region…it’s a national problem enthroned and practiced by the greedy and power-hungry Nigerian political elite!

I personally think it was unacceptable that Bianca Ojukwu, who to all intents and purposes is now from Anambra owing to marriage, was prevented from contesting for Senate in the state! It’s not in our nature as Ndigbo to toe that divisive line, and this is one of the bad habits we’ve picked up from being in ‘one Nigeria’! That being said, i think you’d find out that, outside of Lagos, a similar dynamic would play out given a similar situation between the remaining 5 other states in your region!

Lagos however is a different kettle of fish entirely….same as Abuja, as they are defunct and current Nigerian capitals respectively, and both have enjoyed a disproportionate amount of national attention, effort and our commonwealth to bring them to the level they are today! Had any Igbo wanted to drag say Oyo or Osun with you, i’d even join you in asking them to keep quiet. In politics, governance and business, Lagos and Abuja should be equal opportunity cities for ALL Nigerians until such a time when the country ceases to exist!

christistruth01:
Aregbesola who was Osun State Governor twice had a Kogi father

Bukola Saraki who was Governor of Kwara twice was an Egba Man from Abeokuta

Funny how you Yoruba ‘justify’ your claim of Lagos and belief that any Yoruba is ENTITLED to go there and be Governor, commissioner, representative or even godfather, but the moment a Igbo suggests any other Nigerian is equally entitled to same based on the CONSTITUTION (a legal and much stronger basis), the kind disapproving look you’ll give that Igbo eh….no one need tell him to ‘keep quiet’!😳

Heard Davidos’ Nan was Igbo! Probably accounts for why he’s so comfortable around Igbos more than any other Yoruba artiste!
