Abi ojare, Jason!!!

Na every1 (in Niaja) HELPED starved biafran kids!!! Even my maternal g/mother who risked all to take food to the east during the war
was also culpable in "helping" to starve biafran kids. She was eventually killed in a dastardly manner by the same igbos!

Afterall, biafrans are innocent ke  .
Yeah right, tell that to those who lost their loved ones when the same Biafran "angels" decided to drop bombs onto the streets of Lagos.Guess who got snuffed out? Innocent kids and their mothers.

my condolence to your g/mother
about the lagos stuff, my mother barely escaped! i might not have existed today .

@ TOPIC
GOD BLESS HIM!!!

Eziachi:
You just have to accept that one man's food is another man's poison. We often abuse the word GREAT a lot. I won't join in abusing the man, a late one for that matter. A dead man knew nothing. I am a true christian, hence I don't believe in after life, so whether anyone of us abuse or praise him means nothing, as Enahoro knew nothing about it.
But history is there for the living to waste time on, that is why its called history. History is never too old to talk about, if you forget the past, what then is history?
Only that one should never allow the past to shape what his should be in the present.

thank you brother. those are words of wisdom and i respect that!!! but if they want to insult him then they should carry their insults to another forum because this is a Nigerian forum not an ethnic forum.

seanet02:
why cant you be good even for a split seconds? Pa Enahoro is more Respected in NG than your waspish and bitter Ojukwu the bingooooooooo

WORD!!!!!

@ CHOSENO4 AND UDEZUE

you are fools at the very least!!! A great man died and all you can come up with is biafra what about the people biafrans killed . . . . i don't even have time for you idi.ots today!!! mad people!!!

@ topic

he will be missed both at home and abroad. May his soul rest in perfect peace in heaven.

Jarus:
If Tayoadeoye is not BCR, he will be definitely be his brother.

Yeap!!! he is BCR!!!!!

was he ever in control

That man appears clueless!!! give me any ACN candidate whether yoruba, igbo or hausa any day and i would vote. they have proven to be progressives and i am sure the northerners are tired of pdp. let us join hands to kick pdp out

i just want an ACN candidate to be president! i do not care if he is hausa, yoruba or igbo. ACN has showed and proved to nigerian that they are a progressive party! KICK PDP OUT!!!

if someone like fashola cannot get a second term ticket in nigeria (lagos) then there is no hope!

up ribadu! up ACN!!!!!!!!!!! . I WOULD MAKE IT IN TIME TO VOTE FOR HIM!!! KICK OUT PDP

Onlytruth:
A lot of it won't make sense to you because you have been conditioned to Nigerian way of thinking.  

Overwhelming majority of Igbo people would rather do other things than be civil servants or politicians (in a country where GRAFT will be IMPOSSIBLE).
You keep thinking there will still be oil money to steal. No, there won't be.

All the money will come from business and personal income taxes. You steal, get convicted and face death by hanging.   Then politics loses much of its lure. You can't make money from it. Most Igbo men hate where they can't make money. Did you think about that?

ROMFL!!! LOL . NA WA FOR THIS YOUR NEW COUNTRY OOO! . to be serious, we should implement that into law in nigeria!

Onlytruth:
It will NOT be mini-Nigeria because the majority tribe (Igbo) will for once concentrate on things that make a country rich -science, technology, industry, commerce, instead of imposing a lazy culture on a country, with a born to rule mentality.  Did you think about that?  

Again, we are 90% Christian. Did you think about that?  

it has nothing to do with Christianity! when crimes are committed in the west or east, do any of the criminals remember Christ then? same goes for politics and cohesion. most southerners are Christians but that does not mean there is any cohesion between them. although, i must agree, there would be some of cohesion but that cohesion might not be strong enough when greed comes to play.

Onlytruth:
Eastern Nigeria is the most peaceful part of Nigeria, even before the coming of the European and since Nigeria became a country. There has never been intertribal wars in eastern Nigeria.

There has been intra-community conflicts, but NOT inter-tribal wars.

i already answered that

jason12345:
thats because you were different distinct clans ( intra community conflicts) then and even now you all have a common enemy (nigeria). once that is gone. . . . .  you know the rest!

Onlytruth:
My guy, can't you even think at all?

So, you don't see that it all has to do with Nigeria? A country where if you are not in politics, you can't even do commerce or industry or business! Obasanjo almost single handedly destroyed all top Igbo businesses.

Igbo are in Nigerian politics because it has been used by your Yoruba people and Hausas to oppress them in Nigeria. That will not happen in Biafra for obvious reasons.

Remove Nigeria, and give us Biafra and you will be shocked to see it being run by minorities for many years.

Igbo endorsement of Jonathan is a little proof.

as i said the ohanaeze endorsement has nothing to do with this! they endorsed GJ because they expect GJ to "handover" the presidency to an igbo man after his tenure.

and how is it possible to be ran by minorities? when it is going to be a mini-nigeria with a mixture of heterogeneous ethnic groups? anyway, we shall see

Onlytruth:
To give you a perspective outside of your jaundiced Nigerian fixated one, what about a South African model whereby the Igbos will focus on industry, science, technology and commerce, while the minorities run the government and civil service? How about that? Did it ever occur to you that Igbo man is NOT really interested in politics, or that he is MORE interested in OTHER things than politics. Nigeria has polluted your mind so much that you can't even see what is right under your nose.

It will also be 90% CHRISTIAN. So, who will be fighting who? Have you EVER heard of intertribal war in eastern Nigeria? NEVER.

thats because you were different distinct clans then and even now you all have a common enemy. once that is gone. . . . .  you know the rest!

eku_bear:
Maybe my understanding of the situation is completely wrong. Would be nice if some of the Eastern minorities on this forum could chime in.

thats a lie!!! then why are interested in presidency now since you are not "interested" in politics then why is it that when i asked other igbo man (igbobuigbo) about an eastern candidate and i mention utomi or donald duke he said they are not igbo so they cannot represent them . you and i know that the scenario you stated above would not happen. why? nothing unites you not even language and yet you tell me the igbos would not be bothered about politics . well, you are not the one that is going to determine that .

@ dapobear

sorry to add this again

the only thing that unites the east is nigeria because they have a common enemy once that is gone, you would see the "true extent of alaigbo" .

@ dapo bear

. . . . .  and just to add to my post
biafra would probably be ravaged by civil war because of the various separate ethnic groups in it. it will just be another mini-nigeria with igbos as the northerner since they are the majority and other ethnic groups will be trying to replace the yoruba and igbo in the new mini-nigeria.

and anyone that tells me that they would govern through federalism is just joking because that was what nigeria did before we had a coup!!! history always tend to repeat itself

@ eku-bear

i feel you but i really think you should not get involved with onlytruth about this matter. its not because he can argue better than you, its because he already has closed mind and its really none of your business . my take on this matter is that nigeria would likely split and if it does so into 3 or 4 parts;

1) the north would not feel anything since the status quo has not changed while they are in nigeria. moreover, religion unites them. also, the people would be motivated to show their former country men that they can do without oil
2) the west would probably be better off since they have not only oil but other natural resources coupled with their seaport. massive education programs would start to stop the spread of area boys. the people would be motivated.

3) the ibibio etc would probably join the igbos but if they don't, then, the baifrans would probably be still probably be ok but not overly sucessful. _{not that i care anyway} . iMO

Akin-Egba:
Not again. My brothers in the UK should take things easy oh!
Imagine people close to their grave still involved in crime. Oma se o!!

Akin-Egba:
Why don't you simply commit suicide so that cyberspace can be rid of dogs like you?

who is the dog me or you if anyone is to commit suicide, then it should be you because you are a disgrace to yourself! inferiority complex at its highest!!!

Akin-Egba:
If only you weren't an eediot, you will have noticed that inferiority complex stays a far distance from me. If only you will stop being a follow-follow leech. If only,

As for ra/pe, it is not a matter of it can happen in the west. It does happen in the West as in the East, South and North. Read my posts above and the one here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-568404.0.html

shattap, you this igbo man pretending to be a yoruba man!!!
when you and your likes do this (pretend), it just shows inferiority complex. you might not know it but that is the emotion other people perceive and it stinks to the high heavens!!! how can you be ashamed of yourself! "am from abeokuta", yeah right! its like saying pigs fly!!!

i admire igbos for their intelligence and motivative spirit.
i admire the yorubas because of their culture, language and heritage. also, their liberal and accommodating nature is admirable.
i admire the hausas for their honest nature and spiritualism (but they take it over board at times ).
i admire the ijaws because they are just nice people (although, i have only met two)
btw, my brother is married to an edo lady and i can testify that she makes him the happiest man alive. since they got married, they have grown from strength to strength. my other brother is also married to an hausa lady (half hausa/half french but more to the hausa side) and she is also as lovely.

(i think i would go for the igbo ladies just to balance the equation .)

all in all, every ethnic group is blessed!!!

@ akin-egba

inferiority complex will not kill you this igbo man.

@ yorubas

na wa for you guys ooo!!! instead of u guys to condemn it, you are busy insult your individual intelligence by saying its an igbo thing. stop disgracing yourselves. it can happen in the west also!!!!mo

McKren:
why do you sound so worried

If the Igbos are weak, then advantage whatever tribe you come from.

So why are you drinking panadol for another man's sickness. Stop snooping around all threads about Ndigbo and trying to impose your ideas on others.

If we are weak then please by all means allow us to wallow in our weakness.

it is a forum where anyone can add their ideas. it not necessary that you follow. itsekiri is a sub-group of yoruba and i have come to terms with this.

btw, i never said igbos are weak, i said you sounded weak.

McKren:
Do you honestly believe there was some kind of conspiracy between Shagari and Buhari just so that Ekwueme will not be President? You guys need to grow up.

We are no longer in the era of coups, to determine your choice of politics based on what happen at a time when the scenario was totally different is simply ridiculous. Do you honestly believe you have more right to be more angry than Ekwueme himself? do you think Ekwueme is silly to stick to the zoning policy he helped sign?

[b]Most of you need to learn a lot in politics. The best thing for us is to stick to the PDP zoning formula. If Atiku becomes President PDP will certainly go from strength to strength and the worst thing we will do is to jettission the PDP zoning formula [/b]that we played crucial role in crafting.

no offence, but the bold part above sounded so weak!

McKren:
Chyz your talk about second fiddle don't make sense all.

What fiddle are you playing at the moment? you are neither first, nor second, nor 3rd, nor 4th.

President is South South
V. President North
Senate President North Central
Speaker SouthWest.
Deputy Senate President SouthEast

So when you talk crap about playing second fiddle remember that you are playing 5th fiddle at the moment.

Ridiculous argument!!!!!!!!!

There are over 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria and whether you like it or not there are times when you certainly will not produce the President of the country. There is nothing wrong about producing the Vice President and it does not mean playing second fiddle at all ok?

yes, there are over 300 ethnic groups but most of them are sub-groups to the 3 major ethnic groups.

secondly, why are you so scared of producing a candidate of your own with charisma and courage to take nigeria by storm   why do you always enjoy playing the beautiful bride role, just to be used and dumped . so, you think atiku would leave 2015 ;Dlol. or do you think the presidency would be zoned to ndigbo 2019 do you know how the political terrain would have changed do you know that by then we might not be talking about zoning . the so called zoning thing started 2003 because the north meet obj and wanted power after him. do you even know why they gave the west a pawn head president (obj)? it was to prevent the break up of this country! can you not analysis these things

chyz:
I don't know why they don't get that.The funny also is that it happened to Ekwueme twice.lol

the "once bitten twice shy" proverb is not in their textbook!

Ibime:
These Govs need to stop speaking out both sides of their mouth.

You can't support GEJ and still be asking for Presidency in 2015

i thought it was only me that noticed

just to add, you cannot also support atiku and expect presidency 2015

MetalGong4:
^^^^^^^^
You are wasting your time with that NigerDelta boy named Chyz . . . . . He doesnt get it all.

@OP
2015 Igbo presidency is not negotiable . . . Atiku/Soludo or Atiku/Nnamani already have the votes of the Ndigbo.

@ bolded

how is that possible?
