No where in the world will a certain part of a country wake up and just decide to leave the Union. Even the USA fought a civil war because of this.

Is one of the reason Ojuku and Aguyi Ironsi unleashed war on Adaka Boro and his men.

Nobody can be screaming for referendum on top Nairaland, Facebook and Twitter and expect the Central Government to take them seriously.

The Scottish were not asking for independence on top social media.

Una go vote for APGA, PDP and APC, parties that do not believe in the division on Nigeria, but come online to wail about people holding you

I no get strength to read your long wailing.

Dude, don't refer to the happenings in the United States as justification for the evil going on in Nigeria today! For starters, what occured in the US happened pre the modern era, before the civilised world had accepted the fundamental principles on which just societies are built...before respect for fundamental human rights were an accepted grundnorm in the relationship between state and citizen! The American civil war was fought principally over the issue of slavery and the south was the part that wanted to secede in order to protect their right to continue the wicked practise!

How did Ojukwu unleash war on Adaka Boro and his men? Care to tell us exactly what Adaka Boros' intentions were.....the limit to the territory he wanted carved out of Nigeria....the ethnicities that made up this territory....the capital of the new country he hoped to form.....the time and place he sought and got permission to secede from the peoples/ethnicities that made up the territory he intended to carve out of Nigeria? Answers to these questions would help us situate the level of seriousness of said bid for secession and the level of acceptability it had in the territory Boro hoped to carve out of Nigeria! Now if you said Ironsis' gov't quashed the Boro bid for secession, i wouldn't argue with that!

If the bid for Biafran secession was limited only to the social-media, care to tell us why you have murdered thousands of Igbo youth in cold-blood....have wrongly labelled IPOB a 'terrorist' organisation.....and have militarily occupied the south-east?

The British gov't realised the Scottish bid for independence was a issue that resonated with a lot of Scots, so called for a referendum on the issue! Just like the IPOB/MASSOB bid for secession (that's been going on for decades and led to the murder of countless number of Igbos), the Scottish bid for independence was known and acknowledged by everyone without their head in the sand! Had Scotland been trying this in Nigeria, not only would the useless and evil Nigerian gov't pretend not to know what they were agitating about, but said Nigerian gov't would also tag the Scottish independence organisations as 'terrorists' and send the Fulani army of Nigeria charging into Scotland to look for innocent youths to mow down in cold-blood!

******* ******* *******

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 9, 1865) (also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States fought between the Union (states that remained loyal to the federal union, or "the North" and the Confederacy (states that voted to secede, or "the South".[e] The central cause of the war was the status of slavery, especially the expansion of slavery into territories acquired as a result of the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican–American War.[14] On the eve of the Civil War in 1860, four million of the 32 million Americans (~13%) were enslaved black people, almost all in the South.

Reality3080:
the reason y u can't answer d dumbass question is d same reason nobody will trust igbos with power in Nigeria n as regards biafra u ain't going anywhere

Hehehehehe

Your diseased kindred spirit just said nobody is stopping igbos from leaving, and here you are saying the exact opposite...that 'we ain't going nowhere'!

Everyone, listen to this vile cretins reaoning: Nzeogwu and co carried out a coup. The band of coupists comprised of soldiers from the Eastern Region, Mid-West Region and Western Region. At no point did the electorate of the regions involved vote to send these idealist soldiers on their ill-adviced mission. Now the coup happened, and this bigoted schmuck i'm quoting is laying the blame for how things eventually panned out on the entire Igbo race.....asking us to explain why some were killed and some weren't! This bastard is arguing that NOBODY (he purports to speak for the rest of Nigeria) will trust Igbos with power in Nigeria because of the actions of these coupists in 1966! I hope ya'll can see the type of reaoning that has led to Nigeria being where it is today!?

Dude, what's your ethnicity? I dare you to mention your ethnicity on this thread!

DubaiLandLord:
Nobody gives a dam about Ibos leaving or not.

Only your politicians can make this happen

You can't be voting for APC, PDP and APGA and screaming referendum

You reason like a r'etard!

I doubt even as daft as you are, that even you believe your assertion that 'nobody gives a damn about Ibos leaving or not'! You see the uncivil war from '67 to'70....you see the hounding and slaughtering of Igbos in MASSOB and IPOB that's been going on since the 90s....you see the military occupation of the peaceful south-east by the Fulani Nigerian army......you see the rush by the Fulani gov't of 'one Nigeria' to tag IPOB as a terrorist organisation, while the Fulani herdsmen and bandits were left to their own devices....you see all this yet still pretend nobody gives a damn about Igbos leaving!? As well as your unbridled hate, your hypocrisy and lies will also lead to your undoing!

If you weren't as thick as a plank, you'd have realised by now that Igbo politicians are singing from an entirely different hymn sheet as the rest of Ndigbo! They are mostly lilly-livered, self-centred, greedy and appeasing, so just how TF do you expect them to lead the charge for our emancipation from 'one Nigeria'!? Referendum exists and are used all over the world as a means to guage the sentiments of a populace on burning issues of national importance. It's only in 'one Nigeria' that referendum is considered anathema.....why's that? You may just as well argue referendum aren't needed.....just go to the politicians of the country in question and ask THEM how they feel on the topical question of the day! Yes....even our thieving, election rigging and daft Nigerian politicians can substitute for having a referendum!

You have murdered Igbo youth in cold-blood over their agitation! You can 'justify' this assertion but can't deny it! Now any real gov't, that has the interests of its citizens at heart and recognises the rights of free speech and assembly, wouldn't let things get to the extent they have gotten to presently in Nigeria before trying to find a way guage the sentiments of majority of the population on the issue/s leading to all this tension and bad-blood! Things are done differently in Nigeria....in Nigeria, they send out the Fulani military to go and murder the agitators in cold-blood!

You see and know all this, yet still wanna lie to yourself that nobody is standing in the way of Igbos (or any other grp for that matter) leaving the killing field that 'one Nigeria' has become!

Reality3080:
y was igbo leaders not killed?

After all i explained, you're still asking this dumbass question!?

Go contact a medium and ask them to table this question to Nzeogwu, et-al. Why are you asking me?

Reality3080:
who caused the bad blood?
Hope u have heard about igbo coup where igbos killed other leaders n left their own?

Since then people have been skeptical about giving an igbo.man power cos the last time he held it,there was chaos n commotion

Y do u think other tribes are skeptical of d igbos?

You see.....this thinking is EXACTLY the problem, if not a large part of the problem! You justify all your negative actions towards Igbos because of the Nzeogwu led 'Igbo coup'! Pray, can you tell us when Igbos voted to send Nzeogwu, et-al, to go out on their ill-adviced mission? And remember this slaughtering of Igbos in the north started way back in the 50s....before said coup!

DabuIIIT:
Abeg don't mention that mannabbqgri person here.
Me too,I might not like all the ideas of the ipob laying certain claims especially on the SS people but all those na wash. However,I chose to see the bigger picture of emancipation and liberation from our common enemy from futa djalon Timbuktu that they stand for.
We have coexisted with the easterners for decades and they've been allies politically. They stood behind Gej all through.
Guy our common and real enemies are the ones who are in control and possession of our natural resources. The likes of T.Y Danjuma and Indimi of Taraba and borno States and other mallams who own our oil wells are stinkingly rich!!!! They are far away in the north and don't feel the effects of spill or pollution in any way.
I work at sea,petrol tankers..the DPR PPMC PPPRA NNPC PTDF..nIMASA NPA,these are the fed govt petroleum agencies and maritime sector,they are all headed by mallams!!!
Our petroleum and maritime resources are in their hands and control while we fight eachother everyday!

Look at this govt,we only have a SS man hidden quietly as deputy senate president! That man should be Speaker of house of representatives instead. The Igbos are nowhere. Is that right?
I don't hate yoruba people o,but they have joined forces with mallams and have sold virtually everything away in the south.

I'm not saying you should stop your bashing job at the if is o,but you must know you are just wasting away your time and painting yourself in bad light...I even be think say you be Mallam!!!


But say the truth,this is 2022,are you really from SS?

Post of the day!

Reality3080:
with the way u igbos hate Muslims n northerners,hope u won't need their vote later?

Cause it's not logical for u to hate someone n not hide it n later need him

Igbos don't 'hate' anyone! What is causing all this bad blood and makes you think Igbo 'hate' anyone is the unfair political-economy in place in Nigeria from the late 60s to date! Let us go back to pre-66 settings (with changes that reflect present geo-political realities) or have an independent Igbo nation today, and you would see all this tension slip away instantly!

There are THREE major ethnic groups in Nigeria, right? Check it...the last time one of that tripod held power at the centre was in 1966, yet that doesn't seem to register with you that something just ain't right. All you're seeing is the 'hate' Igbos have for northerners. And i've not even touched on the way Igbos are being slaughtered in cold blood in 'one Nigeria'....from the 50s to date, and with it taking a larger dimension since 2015 with the coming of the Igbo-hater in chief! I've equally not touched on how hydrocarbon rich parts of Igboland were sliced off of the then East Central State (now south-east) with surgical precision, and placed in Rivers State for Ijaws to help the hegemony oversee!

So you see, you need to look at the entire picture before trying to aportion blame!

richmond500:
Igbo land? That ur oil that cannot fill a kettle

Let me overlook your stupidity in implying Igboland has little or no oil in commercial quantity. However, whether it cannot fill a kettle or can fill an ocean, fact remains that because you CANNOT KEEP YOUR THIEVING PAWS OF WHAT YOU CONSIDER 'INCONSEQUENTAL' points to the fact that you're not only a greedy, two-faced, hypocritical liar, but also that you can't do without sharing the same country with Igbos! Will admitting that you actually need to be compatriots with Igbos kill you?

Shameless billy-goat!

Another mansion launched in Anambra over the festive period.

Looks nice, but i think it could do without all those coloured lights. The thing i like most about these constructions is the employment and spreading of wealth around that comes with it...coupled with the experience and motivation to succeed they give to villa kinsfolk that come to visit.

juman:
Buhari turned a nobody to big name.
Those his niger republic family members.

As we speak, he's building a rail line so after causing havoc and misery all over Nigeria, they can travel back home to Niger for holidays in relative comfort!

Entprys:
Turji deserve amnesty. Then we put him into nigeria army to secure south

Spot on!

........Secure south....specifically, south-east!

helinues:
Imo state should please don't start this new year with stupid killings.

Gov Hope is actually a calamity to the state.

What a bad luck tenure

The amount of innocent Igbo blood spilled in Imo ever since that Supreme Court devil became governor is unquantifiable! The people whose stock-in-trade is wasting of innocent Igbo lives are happy the stooge they installed is doing exactly what he was rigged in to do!

Notice how they added Ebubeagu in the story to make it look like everything is legit and above board! In all likelihood, Ebubeagu were nowhere in picture!

Ogbuefi2020:
Why not Anambra South in general at least Nnewi will be part of it. Lack of large group identity is fragmenting development in Anambra into a multitude of independent villages

It is what it is! You people should just drop the nit-picking and hunting for negatives with which to burden the man with when he’s yet to be sworn in!

No surprises a thread on the MURDER of 5 innocent individuals and the abduction of 16 others is not only as dry as a desert (only a handful of posts since afternoon), but is yet to hit front-page! But somehow, a thread on a Igbo girl gushing over Mayorkun has not only reached front-page, but is on its 3rd page as we speak.....and filled, almost bumper-to-bumper, with heavy abuse on our collective Igbo heads as if we sent the girl message!

LILTJAY:
Igbo people with lagos
While no yoruba is interested in their unpleasant land

It was only a question of when not if some bigoted psycho will display their madness!

Assuming Igbos are ‘fixated’ with Lagos, i don’t see why you have a problem with that! And you got 10 likes for that shi’t...probably from like-minded fools!

Asgard73:
I don’t understand Soludo with this OAU gibberish..

He never even enter he don Dey smell Buhari Buhari.. with his divide and rule nepotistic tactis
He’s already showing and playing a divided anambra card.

Why not go there as an anambra man..

Soludo might be the first apga Governor that will do just a term .

Guess his office and appointment will be lopsided to reflect his love for ndi OAU..

Somebody should talk sense into this efulefu.

I think your misgivings are a bit premature!

One must come from somewhere and have home support first before outsiders will support you! He’s basically going with his immediate political block to visit Obiano to thank him for his support! I don’t see the problem there!

Even when he becomes governor, i wouldn’t expect him to ignore his community and zone just so people don’t label him negatively. All he has to do as governor is carry the entire state along in governance and target key economic drivers that can fast-track the states development! We should also expect extra attention is given to the three cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi!

Normal service resumes! Some things never change!

I hate seeing suffering and misery....esp’ when it involves children!

The major reason for the social dislocation and extreme poverty in the north is the insane desire of their ruling political, military and clerical elite to control power at the centre from the mid 60s to date! They have enthroned the political-economy that’s been in place for the entire period in question, so they have no one else to blame but themselves!

See how they ganged up to remove GEJ from office due to this lust for power....now look where it’s gotten them! Can the average northerner say his fortunes have improved because they‘ve ‘controlled’ things from 2015 to date!?

The northerners are their biggest problem (both the leaders and the led)....they’re just too clever by half and see power at the centre as an end in itself rather than a means to an end!

WillyDave:
You don't mean it. Are you very sure about this?

Yep.....damn sure!

Karlovych:
Do Nigerians like themselves?

This is the koko of the matter!

First discuss the intense hatred some Nigerians have for others before talking of the one from outsiders!

WillyDave:
To me it is still like years to come. I can't wait to see this man out of that seat. On May 30th 2023 I will wake up a very happy man, knowing that this man has gone. Who ever replaces him must be better than him with something to offer Nigerians.

Tinubu is waiting in the wings to take over from where Buhari left off!

Omodua:
Well said Olu Falae. The Truth. You have juxtaposed the tragicomedy plaguing the growth of Nigeria.
Buhari is a disappointment. A mitigated disaster.
But who is to Bell the cat. The military we look up to is heavily compromised and sectionalised. Fulani's are in the commanding height of the security architecture.
SOBS!

An unmitigated one! He’s like a bull in a china shop....a wrecking ball!

Now this stairway is damn impressive....looks very grand! Is that hotel room with the study full of books in this Rento Hotel?

Mensamusa:
Peace be unto this thread.

You sound a bit like the Angel (either Gabriel or Michael....can’t remember which one) who visited Mary to tell her of her impending immaculate conception!

Had it been this was being done under a Governor like Umahi, i may have said there’s a fighting chance the project might be realised as promised! But under Ugwuanyi!?.....Forget it!

Ten years from now there will be no ‘largest in Africa’ whatever....and you can take that to the bank!

I think i’ll keep the champagne on ice until such a time as i start seeing something on ground that matches the ‘largest in Africa’ tag!

The centenary city that was launched a decade ago, with a very snazzy 3D rendering, has not even gone 10% of what was promised in the video.....and i noticed they’re departing from the exacting world-class standards expected!

Also, what of Enyimba Economic City that’s still on the drawing board?

sleemomymy:
YOU GUYS THINK THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU. THIS IS NIGERIA, A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY. YOU CAN'T BE AGITATING FOR BIAFRA AT THE SAME TIME YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA. THERE IS NO COUNTRY OF THE WORLD THAT WILL HAND OVER POWER TO SUCH A CONFUSED AND UNTRUSTED PEOPLE.
THERE JUST TWO OPTIONS FOR THE REGION:
1. FORGET ABOUT SOUTH-EAST PRESIDENCY AND FOCUS ON BIAFRA
2. FORGET ABOUT BIAFRA, JOIN THE MAINSTREAM POLITICS, CREATE TRUST BETWEEN THE OTHER REGION THEN YOUR CHANCE OF GETTING THE PRESIDENCY WILL BE HIGH.
WITHOUT THIS, OHANEZE IS JUST A SCAM.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Dude, your lack of capacity to grasp simple permutations is startling to say the least!

No one is saying the international community would come storming in to invade your shithole the moment elections don’t take place in the south-east! If you thought what the international community thinks of you doesn’t matter, then why does your lying information minister occasionally give press conferences, make appeals to the international community or be bothered to counter a narrative they feel doesn’t portray them in a positive light to the international community!? Why bother...shebi your ‘one Nigeria’ is a ‘sovereign country’ as you so stupidly put it, and you can do whatever TF you want!?

One mistake you Igbo-hating bigots love making is that you tend to lump the desires of self-serving, appeasing and lilly-livered Igbo politicians together with those of the entire mass of Ndigbo! You close your ears and pretend not to hear the strident calls for a referendum to make a definitive assertion on just what exactly majority of Igbo want, instead you send your bloodthirsty soldiers out to mow down innocent agitators in cold blood!

I for one couldn’t care less about your useless presidency! It’s nothing but a poisoned chalice as far as Ndigbo are concerned...esp’ in light of the utter mess and chaos Buhari will be leaving behind! Presidency has done a fat lot of good for the north-west that has produced more Nigerian presidents than you can shake a stick at!

Funny thing is, you read all these nasty bigots saying all sorts of negative stuff like a Igbo will never be president or they can’t ‘trust’ Igbos with the presidency.....so called fellow ‘compatriots’, yet you read, have a little snigger and think nothing of it! Yet the moment a Igbo like me talks of a independent Igbo nation, you discover your voice all of a sudden and start bleating on and on about ‘sovereign country....indivisible and indissoluble.....blah-blah-blah’!

If anyone needs to reach out and ‘create trust’, it’s you nasty lot who have shown IN ACTIONS the contempt to which you hold Ndigbo!

Borrow like hell!
