rosoty:
This has taken a sectional direction. All south-south house of rep are supporting removal of subsidy

mactonnyso:
i trust the SS they will not start a war they would not finish. so they take their time to handle the issue. Not like the Yoruba noise making
folks, who are COWARDS.

koruji:
I think that's the same protest from mid-week.

Johndoe100:
@igbo boy
I sympathize with those killed and injured in this lastest attack by BH. However I must point out that so far no niger deltans seem to be victims.
Also there are no ibo people in the niger delta.

Igbo people should not be incited to violence. It is unfortunate that Igbos are used as pawns but let us lie low. I can now see that that a big dead rat is stinking. Don't fall for it.

If anything, Nigerians as a collective whole should face our corrupt leaders and hold them to task.

This divide and rule strategy has always been applied to Nigerians right from it's inception to it's peak in 1966/1967[/color] when Northerners were goaded to strike Igbos. I really think that those in power have it in their best interest to have us turn on each other while they reap the spoils. External and internal forces know that ethnic bigotry is Nigeria's weakness. Add to this the unfortunate history of Biafran war in the country and you have a nice recipe for disaster in this scenario - they think they know the right buttons to push but no one should let them.

Let us be play smart and unite as country to challenge our leaders as well as the stories that are being fed to us.

Be wise, guys.

Rad1cal:
You spout this because non of your family member have been liquidated in the most brutal fashion. if you have tasted such loss. you wont canvass for docility in the face of constant hostility.

Maybe the southern Kaduna people shouldn't have returned fire for fire when faced with death.

Easier to sit somewhere and claim objectivity when you have never felt the direct pain of a loss.

Bandit C.:
What kind of trash is this? People are getting killed and your advice to them is to keep quiet and act like it is not happening and somehow they would forget they exist and go after others. Man you are disturbingly daft. It is past midnight so if you have nothing worthwile to say, go to sleep and don't rile people up here.

What useless mentality is this. Honestly, if Igbos are waiting on people with such mentality to back them up, they might as well kill themselves before the northerners arrive to do the deed.

Okay, go on the attack! Abi?

igbo boy:
fallacy upon fallacy, I know lots of peeps from my momsie's village that have been killed, Is Niger Delta an ethnic group or a region?
I am an igboman, My maternal and paternal villages are both in the so called niger delta region,

I dont understand how u would mention, yoruba, mention igbo and then mention niger delta,

Niger delta is not one entity biko either culturally, linguistically, historically or other wise, there is nothing in common with an ishan man and an efik man nor an itsekiri man and an igbo man,

Rad1cal:
How long would they keep watching , the Sapele example is way forward . it's time we show those eedioots some mean violence.  

do we need to wait to see others reaction, even when you keep getting killed.

wait till they import their terror southwards. then we shall understand the full repercussion of being on the fence

dem_people:
Its indeed the most painful thing to keep quiet. Pain reverberates through my body now. Relatives and friends have been lost to these bastar.ds.








   Northerners.

dem_people:
Chyz*, even u? smh! What has suddenly overwhelmed you? smdh!

@Jason123, could u please remind me the "mistake" that ndigbo made? U dee seriously fall my hand upon say u want a Republic of Southern Nigeria or have u changed?



For how long would we ndigbo be victims in this evil union of nationalities called Nigeria? How long? The thing that pains me so much is why we particularly ALWAYS seem to be the targets in anything?

Some ndigbo here like Abagworo are even rejoicing about the deaths of our people up north! What madness! Ara gbagbuo gi! Chukwu kpokwa gi oku.

This is a recurring cycle of violence against ndigbo since 1945.

Why does it always seem to be us?

You shot someone, people where mourning the person in a house and then u go to the same house and shot 17 of them?

You went to a town hall and massacred people during peacetime- people who owe u nothing.

People are here blaming GEJ and yet these problems were there before he was even born. And yet when some people said they would make Nigeria ungovernable, people seem to forgotten such statements. Every problem is linked to the poor man yet a region of the country has continually caused disaffection between themselves and the rest of the country.

A region fanatical about a born to rule mentality? What is it?




A continuous series of massacres by people who completely live for nothing but a false interpretation of their religion.  Be it their nonsense born to rule mentality through politics, refusal to be productive in life through education, destruction of peoples' farmlands through agriculture, waging feudalistic wars against other people in the name of religion with a huge population of beggars and useless almajiris who their existence hasn't done earth any good.

A series and series and series of problems from the very animalistic northern region that has continued to drag Ndigbo and progressive southern Nigeria into the abyss.

Oh dear, Alj_harem, no amount or PR you're doing here will make us change the views of Ndigbo and southerners towards the series of evils that your   wicked people have done to us and Nigeria.

I despise you people.

Sam_Ikenna:
I have read so much on nairaland to know who is who. Its a pity the only thing that will appease some of our southern fellows is for Igbos to roll over and call them lord of lords. However, I have news for those southern fellows and that is-it aint happnin. Huasa-fulani people killed igbos and the rest of Nigeria joined in making sure that "aggresive Igbos" were put in their propper place. Today, Boko haram has started killing christians and it seems we, Igbos, are recording high casualties and what do we see - Sheyguy, Lagoshia, jason234 and some other seemingly educated southerners are implicitly insinuating that Igbos either caused it by either their statements or their 99% vote for GEJ. Its a shame the rest of southerners want to make it Igbo-Hausa affair and probably looking for a way to screw Igbos again. But you know what, If southerners want to make it Igbo - Hausa affair then I ask that they completely remain neutral and not screw our effort because Igbos are more than able to deliver a crushing blow to this manace.

Besides, CHYZ I used to like reading your posts but it amazes me how you turned into Beaf-hater. I still have some respect for you but my brother you've got to see Beaf and Frosbel as sincere southern fellows who are sick of this un-ending hurt from core north. Frosbel's Igbo or no Igbo is immaterial, whats important is the truth in his message. Let me ask you and other southern christians this question and before I go further lets just say core north and other nigerian muslems are totally against Boko haram. Now the question is this - who stands to gain if all christians are wiped out or depopulated in Nigeria? Who gains if christians become minority in Nigeria? You see, before you enjoy the killing or maiming of Igbo christians think about who gains when the deed is finally done because you might wake up to discover you're next in the chopping block.

Some muslems and northerners are really against what is happening, I really believe some are disguted by it, but that didnt save the lives of those brothers who met their untimely death for no just cause. Mind you, when all Igbos and christians are finally in their graves those "good muslems" would weep for us and afterwards enjoy their new majority.

Igbos and concerned southerners please lets look out for our common interest, lets pull our resources together and challange this carnage. In as much as we thank the good muslems for their courage lets realize its our lives that are at stake and do something about it.

Walala:
Ndigbo, stand up and fight the people who give you no respect and slaughter your kind like animals.   Instead of attacking us Yoruba people all the time simply because we like to party.  Yoruba people are too educated and smart to fight with anyone so that's why you continuously pick on us and call us weak.  Now that another group is killing you like ram on sallah day, I wait to see what you will do; all your beating on the chest like a gorilla must amount to something today.  Or are you going to hide under the fact that you have no leader because Ojukwu is dead?  

You have been living in Lagos all this time and at no point in time did we attack you or give you ultimatum to leave our backyard but yet you pick on us and call us names.  You even had the audacity to say you want more voice in the next elections and that you want to rule us in our own home.  We tolerate all your nonsense without violence and accommodate you but what do we get in return?  

Just like under Awolowo days, we will sit back and watch the two of you kill each other like fools because quite frankly we are smarter than yall.  They keep saying southerners but we all know they are saying Igbo.  Over 50 dead already since yesterday and counting,

Kc3000:
^^^^^then you wonder why no one like you. As you admitted, you've never been known to burst a grape in a food fight, but afterwards you'll make the loudest noise. Why not simply shut your trap, since 'the fight' does not concern your beloved Yoruba people. Let me guess. . .you feel left out, but fear would not let you commit to either side. But, you'll hover around, just enough to get noticed and hop on the d.i.c.k of whoever emerges victorious.
You are not fooling anyone, sit on the sideline and assume your usual cheer-leading duties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Jason123
I know some of the few Itsekiri Muslim in that mosque, we have advise them to suspend their religion this period and stay away from the mosque but they refuse. Sapele could be worse than Maiduguri when the jungle mature because the exit from sapele is to the ocean. We have suspended our religion and cried to the gods of our land, they should suspend their own as well or risk attack by mistake. By the grace of Umale-Okun we shall succeed.

sheyguy:
Pls can u support your claim with reference that can be verified.

Cocoa was our major earner in agriculture and[b] tin was the main mineral that supported developement of our main infrastructures.

Onlytruth:
Yes I can support it because it is the truth.
BEFORE cocoa and groundnuts ever came into the picture, there was OIL PALM which the British companies traded for many years and found it too irresistible that they formed a company around it. That company effectively became Nigeria later. Anyone who does not understand this, knows nothing about Nigeria and why the British are doing what they are doing in Nigeria.

afam4eva:
Beaf, abeg leave your sychophncy brain and use the one God gave you and say what is wrong for once.

Beaf:
It was always clear that their action was illegal. Trade unions are barred by the law from engaging in political protests.

Beaf:
@reporter
Stop vomitting made up history from your bigotted news agency. The Royal Niger Company became Nigeria if you do not know, and the only reason it existed on this land, was oil palm.
Oil palm is the reason for Nigeria and oil palm fed Nigeria before crude.
