I can understand they don't want to be ruled by an infidel by what I don't get is why do you want to share same country with infidels

Probably because they want to eat their cake and still have it!

BATified2023:
according to u Nigeria is failed but u still want an Igbo to rule a failed state

I see no contradiction in his position! You don't have to be in support of secession or Biafra before admitting that Nigeria is a failed state!

gidgiddy:
One thing I will never understand about this Coalition of Northern groups, CNG, is why they are so vocal about IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, but never talk about Boko haram, ISWAP, killer herdsmen and all the armed bandits slaughtering them up North?

This group put up a reward of 100 million Naira for the capture of Nnamdi Kanu, but have never put up one kobo for the capture any Northern bandit

Why do some people only remember there is insecurity in Nigeria when it comes to the issue of IPOB?

When i talk of the very evil anti-Igbo hegemonic north, it's these type of animals i refer to! As they see IPOB and Mazi Kanu as their worst nightmare, i can assure you that NONE of them support a Obi presidential bid! They're only 'Nigerians' to the extent that the Fulani are at the head of the feeding chain and the 'nyamiri' are their 'slaves'!

gidgiddy:
Is that innoson in the picture?

It’s either him or he’s got a doppelgänger in Nnewi!

Hehehehehe

onuman:
It was definitely more than $1m. No saner Igbo asking for restoration of Biafra would undertake to do the havoc Simon Ekpa has done to Igbo land and its people.

Exactly! Even i that prefers a free Igbo nation to 'one Nigeria' can recognise the sabo', efulefu and compromised status of the ekpa bastard!

The man is either very daft and can't recognise that Igbo-haters are using his statements and tweets to carry out false-flag operations in the south-east to create a climate of fear in the region which they hope will negatively affect voter turnout on election day.....as well as have their agents on print, electronic and social-media (they're lots of them on this thread falling over themselves to comment) blame IPOB for the attacks; either that, or he's actually been bought by these same evil, murderous and anti-Igbo forces! Whichever is the case, the fool is utterly despicable!

habsydiamond:
that means the thing hit the military camp hard..lolzzz

No…..it means they’re about to cash out!

oilykid:
I thought they said ibeto wanted to fund it then

He did! I even remember Umahi mentioning it in one of his media briefings. Unfortunately, it looks like the plans fell through probably owing to the pressures of covid and other financial issues!

This is why i pray Peter Obi wins next month so all regions in the country can be treated equally and we don’t have a repeat of a situation where Kaduna and Daura received more federal gov’t attention and federally-enabled investments than the entire south-east put together! I’m sure if Ibeto had got some kind of support and encouragement from the federal gov’t, he could have been able to realise his plans for Nkalagu cement….a coy that was once one of the top cement coys in the country, a money spinner and a pride of the east!

alsudan:
See Urchins Presidential Candidate..

I’m sorry but this one really cracked me up!

The snowball effect!

Malory:
This one na eye service.

Exactly! All that fresh supple flesh doesn’t look like it belongs to someone who visits farm on the regular!

Who drinks tea or coffee on the go like that!? It’s obvious this is a staged! Cup is probably empty!

pandax:
How does this sprawling giant slum look beautiful in your eyes!. We indeed have a long way to go as a state to ensure aesthetics

Wouldn’t go as far as to term it a slum, but i looked at the pic effusive comments were being made about and i shook my head in exasperation! Our standards as a people and what we consider acceptable in governance have drastically diminished from colonial times! I remember reading excerpts from books and journals of colonial travellers into Igboland, and the fact they took time to document how neat, clean and organised our villages of the time were! Now look where we find ourselves today!

Fact of the matter is it wouldn’t take that much to improve on that scene: just reconstruct the road with underground drainage and sidewalks on top (the road looks wide enough for it), properly mark the road and include the necessary signages, plant trees on either side, add street lights, then include one or two open/green spaces where you can add seats, shrubs/flowers and a fountain or two! Not forgetting that we also need to imbibe the habit of sweeping our major roads at least once every fortnight!

This is the waste in governance we’re talking about….was this trip really necessary!? And i seem to remember he made another useless trip either last week or the week before! Instead of heading straight back to work (and i use the term [i]work[/i]quite loosely), he diverted to Katsina to continue the jamboree! This man was just interested in becoming president for personal, tribal and religious reasons….nothing else!

Partisan-politics 201!

oilykid:
Nice..umahi is really trying. I also wish he engage more in economic and industrial projects too. Ebonyi is the food basket of the nation and I'm yet to see him commission any mega economic agricultural projects in the state. Even the lime Stone and granite that Ebonyi state is blessed for is yet to be utilized for industrial purposes. Any update on ibeto/nkalaagu cement factory?

Dead as Dodo! This is the problem with the few big-ticket projects planned for the south-east.....they always encounter problems because they're left for the region alone to fund or drive, unlike those in other regions that benefit in one way or the other from 'federal might'! All the more reason why Umahi and Obiano should be commended for the little they achieved in their states.

Kinda reminds me of the shaky rickety bridge over boiling lava that Shrek and Donkey had to cross to go rescue Princess Fiona in the castle!.....It eventually collapsed!

sweetonugbu:
Mr spotless.

Mr Stainless.

Latest updates on Ebonyi airport construction works.

Things are moving at a frenetic pace and looks like they would finish the job in the next two months. He's doing a sterling job with the actual civil engineering part of the job...just wish he could leave the interior decor planning and execution part of the job to the experts in that field. Besides the overbearing and heavy colouring going on, there are one or two other things i would have changed inside the terminal bulding: like the choice of lighting (chandeliers are just not in keeping with a modern terminal building, as well as those fancy wall-mounted lights), and the width of the steps should have been widened to accomodate those with luggage. But on the whole, a commendable effort.

FreedomfromtheT:
According to all polls so far and my unbiased analysis, Peter Obi is not coming second, he is coming first.
No amount of propaganda or intimidation will discourage Nigerians who have made up their minds from coming out to vote for Peter Obi Nigeria's next president by God's grace. Thank you.

My sentiments too. Just that anyone underestimating the malevolent forces that have held Nigeria by the proverbial balls since the late 60s to date, does so at their own peril!

I've always believed hegemonic forces in the north are ready to do another 'Abiola' on Peter Obi! Difference is, because the int'l community is watching, the 'needful' will be done BEFORE election results are announced and not after as happened in 1993! They've already started with all the mago-mago connected with PVC collection and the sponsored bloodletting in parts of the country...especially the south-east!

I don't believe these hegemonic forces think Peter Obi would help actualise Biafra if he wins. They just don't want a Igbo to be president...especially a incorruptible one like Peter Obi that would be his own man! I reckon, if forced to choose, they'd have preferred a Uzor kalu, Uzodinma, Rochas or Umahi presidency! They feel a Peter Obi presidency would level the playing field in Nigeria, give Ndigbo a sense of belonging (which they don't want), and may expose and stop all the criminality they've been engaged in since the 60s, especially since these last 7+ years under Buhari!

shuttox:
Look APC is frustrated already

If APC were smart they should not stress their selves in South East/south south

The bolded is precisely the problem.....they're not!

Captain8:
we are not your brothers oga..

Ijaw is different from igbo......or will you understand when I speak my Ijaw?

@Bolded....i know!

Ojiofor:
I select the types of IPOB madmen I chat with.You know qualify.

Your an absolute disgrace and so repugnant! No matter how many multiple monikers you have, i never fail to recognise your 5th-columnist status on these type of threads! You have a mission on this forum, and only naive and daft Igbo would fall for your lies and revisionism!

owobokiri:
Nkita ara!
Abûzû!!
Ekperimaa..
Na you be "animal and swine"..
Useless thing that doesn't know where the rain started beating him..

Bros, ALL of these people you see on these type of threads, spending the whole day trying to pin the blame for these senseless murders on IPOB and Mazi Kanu...they're ALL part of the murderous plot! Some of them have multiple monikers! They're pure evil and i have their time today!

Ojiofor:
The current agitation is led by IPOB they are responsible and you know it.

Give us reasons why you reckon IPOB murdered that man and also carried out all the other senseless murders in the region since Buharis' second term and the emergence of Uzodima!

AFONJACOW:
These criminals what will be going through their minds.. i mean wherever they are right now what will they be thinking

They have no conscience, that's why they can kidnap a innocent person.....murder him in cold blood....record their murderous antics and upload on nairaland for propaganda purposes (most other social media like twitter and facebook wouldn't tolerate that nonsense and would ban the bastard that inexplicably always manages to get clips of murders to share)...and still go to bed and sleep soundly! It also helps that they feel the people they're murdering ('infidels....nyamiris') are 'worthless and beneath contempt'!

THE SCUM THAT MURDERED THAT MAN ARE NON-IGBO AND ARE PART OF THE KILLING SQUAD IN THE SOUTH-EAST THAT MURDERED DR AKUNYILI...THEY MURDERED THAT YOUNG INEC OFFICIAL IN IMO STATE, AND HAVE CARRIED OUT OTHER SENSELESS HIGH-PROFILE MURDERS IN THE REGION. THEIR REMIT IS TO TRY AND JUSTIFY THE 'TERRORIST' TAG THEIR BOSS PINNED ON IPOB AND MAZI KANU.....AS WELL AS TO TRY AND MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT FOR PETER OBI AND CREATE A CLIMATE OF FEAR AND INSECURITY IN THE SOUTH-EAST REGION AIMED AT REDUCING VOTER TURNOUT ON ELECTION DAY.

EdiskyHarry:
So sad, when this unrest starred initially most people were cheering these criminals up thinking they will only be attacking security agencies. Now the whole situation is out of control, the terrorist are now killing indiscriminately.
Moral lesson: never support eveil, crime or terrorism.
May his soul rest in peace.

It's almost like you Igbo-hating bigots are some kind of BOT.....mouthing off the same tired line on every thread about engineered and improted insecurity in the south-east! I suspect some of you that talk this rubbish have a hand in some of this bloodletting! If i ask you to defend your claim now....citing instances, can you?

What's your own ethnicity and state?

Captain8:
no time Ijaw formed alliance with the igbo

Read the post again....this time engage your brain! Even though Ndigbo supported GEJ both times he ran for office, i personally never asserted there was any 'alliance' between Ndigbo and Ijaw. Notice i used apostrophe at the beginning and end of the assertion, meaning i don't believe there was any such alliance to begin with. I was just building up to make a point!

omonnakoda:
It you cannot show evidence I ever made such a statement you are an idiot
If you cannot show evidence I have praised Tinubu then you are a fool
At any rate I have every right to do so and say so but I never did and so your rant is based on idiocy.
And even if I said so what is the relevance of that to our conversation? I never said that to you or on this thread or even Nairaland

You accused Yoruba of triumphalism and that is why I called you out
This is triumphalism
https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

This was the idiotic post i initially responded to on this thread before you came out of nowhere to chook mouth:

Cyberterror:
The owner of Nestoil is an Anambara man. He was born and brought up in Anambara. He started his business as a trader in Onitsha market. But when he became super wealthy, he went to Lagos to build a super structure to house his company's headquarters in Tinubu's Lagos because his own Anambara under Peter Obi was not conducive for investment. When you vote next month, know that what Nigeria needs is an investment magnet not a man whose company in the UK was closed down because of incompetence and fraud.

The fool ascribed Lagos as 'belonging to Tinubu'! I was responding to him primarily because of that false statement, and you in no way distanced yourself from it before launching an unprovoked attack on me! So naturally, it was safe to assume your thinking is in line with that of the Tinubu minion i initially quoted. I don't need to engage in the thankless task of going through all your past bigoted and hateful posts to reach this conclusion!

Lemme see if i got you right! Your response to my assertion that the Fulani have ganged up with some Yoruba to marginalise, cheat and undermine Igbo interests is for you to provide a link to a thread on nairaland where Yoruba elders met with GEJ to lodge a complaint about perceived 'marginalisation'!? I cited historical instances dating back to more than half a century detailing where Ndigbo as an ethnic group have been shown wickedness.....sometimes even resulting in death, and your response is to provide this link that's barely nine years old? I suppose you're going to say some of the disparaging posts, by monikers purporting to be Igbo owned, is 'proof' Ndigbo have equally shown 'wickedness, cheating and marginalisation' towards the Yoruba!? I suppose your reason for providing the link is to show Ndigbo 'ganged up with GEJ/Ijaw to cheat and marginalise the Yoruba'!? That's your defence abi!? Dude, are you for real!?

In my previous response to you, i showed not only how the Fulani and Yoruba have disproportionately (and in some cases...criminally) gained from the anti-Igbo, proFulani/Yoruba lopsided Nigerian political-economy enthroned since the late 60s, and which still persists till today. I equally showed how they undermined Igbo economic, cultural and territorial interests in the years during and immediately after the uncivil war. Now conversely, can you show me how the 'triumphalism' over the Yoruba you accuse Ndigbo of exhibiting during the GEJ years was defined by economic and political gains and also how Ndigbo ensured the Yoruba and Yorubaland were deprived economically and politically by this your perceived 'Igbo/Ijaw anti-Yoruba agenda'? Because some level of deprivation against the Yoruba by this Igbo/Ijaw alliance...translating into some level of 'gain' by the Igbo has to be shown before you can say Ndigbo were 'triumphant'!

This present Buhari gov't is the worst thing to happen to Ndigbo since the uncivil war, and the person who claims to be responsible for Buharis' emergence is Tinubu! Ndigbo (supposedly a third leg of the tripod on which Nigeria stands) are nowhere to be found in the top seven or eight positions in government. But for Sarakis' deft manoeuvres in the first term, Ekweremadu wouldn't even have smelt that deputy senate president position. Obviously, the Igbo being represented in the lowly position of DSP angered the Buhari/Tinubu bigoted hegemonic alliance because they swore in their second term that no 'nyamiri' will ever smell any top eight position in government...and they made good on their threat! Even in the top hierachy of the military and security bodies like DSS, no Igbo is to be found....and this has been the case since 2015! The economic mariginalisation of Ndigbo by the Buhari/Tinubu alliance deserves another thread all on its own! You want to talk about triumphalism? Tinubu can't pretend not to know how bigoted and anti-Igbo the Buhari gov't is, yet he has said nothing from 2015 to date! Now, as he campaigns and seeks for votes, he wants to make Ndigbo believe he's a just and caring individual who has the best interests of Ndigbo at heart! Dude, gimme a break!

omonnakoda:
There is no conversation to be had
you think you are right I don't and. Vice versa
I know you love the victim role. It gives life meaning if you can blame others
You have to do something different if you want to see something different.
The same Nzogbu Nzogbu will not produce anything new
It is noise
Noise hat we did not hear when the was happening

There will always be a conversation to be had if you insist on saying that Lagos is what it is today owing to the ‘ingenuity’ of your Jagaban! That assertion is false and an insult to many other Nigerians’ from many other ethnicities whose human and natural resources were just to develop and still sustains the city till today!

omonnakoda:
Triumphalism?
That is what I call the behaviour of those who killed the leaders of others in 1966,spared their own and made a song about it. EWU NE BE AKWA

Lagos has always created this so called commonwealth
There has never been a time that our budget was funded e even 50% by oil
We fought civil war without oil
We emerged from the war without debt

Built Kainji Dam,Niger Bridge,Cocoa House without oil
Net Lagos has ALWAYS Contributed more than it received
Nigeria generously have Iboes twenty pounds after the war it was not from oil
In 1973 oil was $2 and only exploded 1974 after the Yom Kippur war
It did not last
In 1983 Buhari took over and oil price has crashed and stayed low until Obasanjo took over except for a brief spike during the Gulf war

The port in Lagos was generating £245 000 in 1904
Today that is over 20 billion naira

The port of Lagos has ALWAYS Contributed
https://www.nairaland.com/4144976/lagos-1898before-nigeria-not-oil

When you have no reasonable response when arguing (or in your case….trying to argue), you fall back to your default settings of blaming the ‘okoros’ for ‘killing other peoples leaders in ‘66….and blaming them for just about every other ill in your shithole of ‘one Nigeria’! Not minding the fact they haven’t produced head-of-state/president for more than half a century while you and your Fulani masters have produced Nigerias’ leaders for the most part since ‘independence’! And of course you never forget to pull out your deceitful trump card of ‘ewu n’ebe akwa’ just to try and whip up anti-Igbo sentiments amongst your Fulani masters whom you revere and look up to in your self-centred bid to maintain the status-quo that keeps control of Lagos and its treasury in your tribalistic and greedy paws!

Can you refer us to links showing where Ndigbo voted to send soldiers to go and murder leaders of other regions/ethnicities!? Don’t forget a good number of the Igbo in said coup were from the area you now call ‘south-south’…..where your ilk claim there are no Igbos’!

Dude, just like with Nigeria as a whole, even Lagos can be governed by Mickey Mouse and, at the very least, manage to stay afloat! It’s benefitted disproportionately from federal gov’t attention, investments, projects and the attendant influx of businesses and populations to the extent that it can afford to leverage on what’s already on ground to remain afloat! During the Gowon and subsequent eras, we witnessed in Lagos the building of a multitude of flyovers; bridges; national stadium; national theatre; apapa and tin-can ports (apapa had existed from the colonial era but benefited from upgrades); 1004 apartments; upgrade of the former race course; the new Murtala Mohammed airport terminal; FESTAC town; etc!

All these projects, while being focused solely on Lagos to the detriment of other regions and their major cities (sweet fckall was being done in the region formerly known as East Central State….the 3Rs were just empty meaningless talk), had a catalysing effect which Lagos is still benefiting from today!

If we’re to have a balance sheet showing what the evil Nigerian federation has stolen from Alaigbo (including millions of lives) vis-a-vis what Ndigbo have gotten out of this rotten federation of evil and injustice, the balance will overwhelmingly tip in favour of the Nigerian state! You talk of a mere £20 while conveniently forgetting all Nigeria stood by and allowed to be stolen from Ndigbo! You stood by and allowed the Ijaw and other ethnicities in the then Rivers state to steal Igbo properties in Port Harcourt in the name of ‘abandoned property’; you carved out the most high yielding hydrocarbon rich parts of Alaigbo and placed in Rivers state for the Ijaw to help you oversee; you commenced a program of de-Igbonisation of the aforementioned parts of Alaigbo you stole and placed in Rivers state; no matter what proof anyone could provide as the balance in their account before hostilities broke out, Awo ruled they were to be given £20; Ndigbo were left almost penniless while the Yoruba and their Fulani partners engaged in a feeding frenzy as they gorged themselves fat on nationalised coys, leaving Ndigbo to watch proceedings from the sidelines; the oil boom that was soon to follow after the war saw new projects and industries springing up in Lagos and the muslim core north (present north-west to be specific), while yet again Ndigbo were made to look on like lucozade….absolutely NO billion dollar projects and national assets were located in the then East Central State; the major gateway in and out of the region was left to rot as the federal gov’t gave attention and pumped resources into gateways in the west, and subsequently, the north (Abuja); the little hydrocarbon in the east that the federal gov’t didn’t touch (coal) they abandoned leading to the decline and shutting of the Onyeama mine on the outskirts of Coal City; etc!

You want to brag with the assertion that the Gowon gov’t ‘fought the war without debt’!? No one knows how true it is since activities of the then MILITARY govt in Dodan Barracks were largely shrouded in secrecy during the war! Suffice it to say that the Nigerian gov’t of the time got a lot of assistance from Great Britain and some Arab countries in prosecuting the war! Biafra was not just fighting the Fulani oligarchs, their Yoruba helpers and greedy, daft turncoats in then Biafra….they were also fighting the UK gov’t, Egypt and other Arab countries wanting to help their Nigerian religious partners! Also, you think Bakassi was given up because Nigeria loves giving up large swathes of its oyel rich territories? Bakassi was another cost Nigeria paid for the war, and heaven knows how many other deals they did using the oil and gas in Biafra as a bargaining chip!

Fact of the matter is WHAT THE FULANI AND THEIR YORUBA PARTNERS HAVE DONE TO NDIGBO AND ALAIGBO, YOU CANNOT ACCEPT EVEN 10% OF SUCH IF THE TABLES WERE TURNED AND NDIGBO WERE THE TRADUCERS! You do all this yet get furious and look for where you kept your gun the moment you hear the words Biafra, secession, IPOB or Kanu!
