Its funny how Igbos came here to claim Ijaw land and ended up showing they dont even know their own origin, what do you think owu means, and owu ogbo, imo and abia state have Ijaw influences, dey even do the Iria ceremony, the question now is since the modus operandi of these ipob ppl is to claim anyplace without evidence, why cant the Ijaws claim Ndoki, azumini, abriba, ohambele, the igalla claim anioma, the benin claim onitsha, ibibio should claim arochukwu et al, Igbos should learn their history before talking others own,
Udmaster, eastlink, and the rest of the ipob crew

Take Okpara for example, he was a respected Igbo leader across all boards.

He was selfless. For all he spent in government, Okpara lived a decent man, he was never a rich man, go to his place in Afugiri Ohuhu Umuahia, he left no loot for his children, he depended only on his salary, his driving force was only how to place the Eastern region on high pedestal, can we say the same Of any of our current politicians? They are all selfish, only looking out for the interest of themselves and their immediate family.

Azikiwe another respected Igbo leader. He built the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, modern day Igbo politician would rather build such in his immediate town or Local government. Ike Nwachukwu took ABSU to Uturu, Chimaroke took ESUT to his Agbani hometown, and was instrumental in the building of Nigerian law school in Agbani. Ngige was plotting on how to bring a campus of ANSU to his hometown Alor before he was removed. Sam Egwu built the New EBSU permanent site close to his Ezza ngbo home town.

A prominent SE senator diverted the money meant for Enugu-PH express road to constituency project fund and used it to build inner lesser used roads in his Aninri/ Awgu area. The rest of us that are not from his area should go and die.

This is the big issue. Every one only care about his area. No one looks after "our area", yet they expect to be "our leader" and not the leader of their respective mushroom units. If I leave my state and support you, knowing that you would divert any project meant for us to your own people, I can never take you as my leader, you can only become a leader of your own people.

So, this is the issue. Until a leader who would put the welfare of the next Igbo man at same level as his , the welfare of the next village same as his, who will put the welfare of the next Igbo speaking town, clan, state, region, at same level as his, there will never be an Igbo leader.
They will all remain leaders of their respective families, villages, towns, states, etc.

Great observation OP, I've also had my own fair share of this segregation. Was having a discus with some friends concerning traditional marriage and stuffs, I was like I don't think my trad would be held in my home state cos I have no friends there and do not want to risk the lives of the friends I have here on the road. One of the girls just shouted "hian, that's why we Anambrans hate people from Imo state, they like to be the ones changing cultures and customs but you guys will never succeed" I was like "wait oo, how do we achieve this oneness and country you all crave for if such hatred is harboured in your heart?" Since then I just mind my biz. We the igbos are not just trying when it comes to accepting and loving ourselves.

its my business whenever you bring anambra state into your nonsense
anambra dont hate anybody, its you who hates them

Any other Igbo man comparing himself to the specially chosen people of Anambra state must be high on cheap drugs. I smell envy on the dunce who opened this useless thread.

Nitwit, what exactly are you saying?

Dog, the dude is one your people that is ashamed of your miserable tribe. You can't tell me what I know.

AjiereTuwo:
Rantings of an illiterate without fact won't change the truth, as I said earlier what are the meaning of these Igbo names epelle, opusunju, uranta, jaja, you are only deceiving yourself, the true ndoki man knows he is Ijaw and he represents that in his name and tradition, they only associate with igbos politically, but still hold meetings with there Ijaw brothers, so go to Facebook and create more fake groups, and post more fake topics on Nl, it wont change what is fact,[s] Ndoki are Ijaws, anioma are Igallas, deal with that[/s].

AjiereTuwo:
Mr Igboid, this pic you just posted has echoed what i have been saying since about the Ndoki(Aminadoghukiari), why is there an eze ndiigbo in a supposedly "Igbo" Lga,

Alexis11:
But the guy you are arguing with is Igbo and not Yoruba.

Your lots mentioned us when the matters doesn't concern us. What you asked, you received it in thousands! Why the complain then?

Take for example, that rabid dog of yours, ikechu.. He was having it out with an alleged Benue impostor but still couldn't help his stupid brain from imagining Yoruba all over the place..

Until you lots stop with your mischievous attitude and misplaced priority, then you have no choice than to expect us in every stupid threads you make!

Diademk07:
LOL!

See immigrants complaining of being chased away from Benue!

Lagos as a former federal capital territory deserves a special status for the purpose of revenue sharing in order to manage the huge challenges that was inherited from the relocation of the country's capital. This is in line with best practises all over the world. But unfortunately, tribalism, hatred and outright jealousy will not allow the law makers take the right decision.

As much as i may appear mischievious to your likes, i am not saying the wrong thing. The truth must be said sometimes no matter what.

And pls, are u from Kwara state or have u ever been in the north central region? Kwara state can never be up to 78% yoruba, how?
Kwara has 3 senatorial disricts, the whole of Kwara north is populated by Nupes and Bariba (Busa) people, while Kwara central (Ilorin) is mixed, everyone speaks yoruba here as his mother's tongue or second language but not everyone identifies as yoruba, some choose to idetify as fulanis, nupes or just ilorin. This is the region plagued with identity crisis, while Kwara south are the bonafide ethnic yorubas.
So tell me how this kind of state can be 78% yorubas. You have no right to count everyone in Kwara central or Ilorin as yorubas, hell NO!. Kwara is somewhat 60% yoruba while 40% nupes, baribas, busa and fulani. Nothing more nothing less, pls stop spreading false facts!

genieluv:
I have evn heard many Okun people from Kogi say that they are not yorubas. Many Ilorin people reject yoruba too.

Public Enlightenment Series - #2

SIMPLIFYING THE SECOND CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST MAZI NNAMDI KANU BY BUHARI’S DSS


We have decided to reserve all the questions we have for the agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) until we exhaustively explained the three charges fraudulently brought against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Let us now look at the second charge brought against Nnamdi Kanu which read thus:

“That you, Nnamdi Kanu and others, now at large, between 2012 and September, 2015 at South-East geo-political zone and the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this honourable court manage an unlawful society with more than 10 members to wit: unregistered with the Corporate Affairs Commission or any other registration authority to wit. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) thereby committed an offence which is punishable under Section 63 of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.”


Now, we publish verbatim, the referenced section-63 of CAP C38 as well as the preceding section-62 which defines UNLAWFUL SOCIETY:

CAP C38 CHAPTER 9 Unlawful societies
62. Definition of society and unlawful society.
(1) A society includes any combination of ten or more persons whether the society be known by any name or not.
(2) A society is an unlawful society-
(i) if formed for any of the following purposes-
(a) levying war or encouraging or assisting any person to levy war on the Government or the inhabitants of any part of Nigeria; or
(b) killing or injuring or encouraging the killing or injuring of any person; or
(c) destroying or injuring or encouraging the destruction or injuring of any property; or
(d) subverting or promoting the subversion of the Government or of its officials; or
(e) committing or inciting to acts of violence or intimidation; or
(f) interfering with, or resisting, or encouraging interference with or resistance to the administration of the law; or
(g) disturbing or encouraging the disturbance of peace and order in any part of Nigeria; or
(ii) if declared by an order of the President to be a society dangerous to the good government of Nigeria or of any part thereof.

62A. Unlawful societies in a State. Without prejudice to the provisions of section 62 of this code, a society is an unlawful society if it is declared by an order of the President to be a society dangerous to the good government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, and for such purpose the consent of the Attorney-General of the Federation referred to in section 65 of this code shall be construed as a reference to the consent of the Attorney-General of the State.

63. Managing an unlawful society.
Any person who manages or assists in the management of an unlawful society is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for seven years.


Having cited the charges and the accompanying laws, let us now explain the charges in its simplest form as follows:

1) That the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a society.

2) That the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) being a society ought to be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (possibly referring to CAP C20 L.F.N. 2004) or any other registering authority in Nigeria.

3) That the Indigenous People of Biafra is an unlawful society but no attempt is made to specify the condition(s) stipulated in section-62(2) that qualify IPOB to be classified as an unlawful society.

4) That although the DSS does not know the total membership of the unlawful society (IPOB) but they are are very certain that the members are more than ten [atleast that will satisfy section-62(1)].

5) That Nnamdi Kanu and an indeterminate number of persons whom the DSS don’t even know are the actual people managing an unlawful society (in this case IPOB).
6) That these “unknown persons“ are “at-large“, meaning they could even be on the moon or under the seabed.

7) That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ are managing the unlawful society (IPOB) within the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria only (no other region was mentioned in the charge sheet).

That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ have been managing this unlawful society (IPOB) from
2012 (no date and no month) to September (no date) 2015.

9) That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ have committed the offence of a felony by managing unlawful society (IPOB) and should be punished on conviction for a prison term of 7 years as stipulated in section-63.


Please note that the charge sheet did not specify which of the condition(s) stipulated in section-62(2) that qualified IPOB as an unlawful society. Probably, the DSS lawyers are keeping that information up their sleeves for the legal arguments in the court.

As stated earlier, we shall ask our questions after explaining the third charge.
