Politics › Re: A Call For Deep Reflection; Southeast And The Lingering Politics of bitterness by joeyfire(m): 9:49am On Jun 14, 2020
OP - I dont know what you mean by politics of bitterness. Igbos are represented in APC even though we dont like that nonsense party. Igbos have been running mates to Buhari twice and there have been igbo buharists from day one. Igbo leaders have never used tribalistic rhetoric against other tribes like Northern and Yoruba leaders including Obas have used shamelessly against us. Igbos dont form mobs and murder non-indigenes like the northerners and yorubas have done to us many times since independence.

If the politics of hate is our not giving APC plenty of votes then we shall continue to to practise it for the foreseeable future. APC started out from the beginning as a gang-up against GEJ/Igbos so to hell with APC. Its unfortunate that you link non-support for APC as justification for marginalising the South East. The yorubas and northerners fought Goodluck Jonathan bitterly from his first day in office. They abused him, insulted his wife, attacked his tribe and all but if you check www.bpp.gov.ng and observe the years he was in power you will see so many projects he did for them. You cannot build a country with bitterness like the South West and North have been doing and failing. Igbos know this and dont want to be with people who are bitter thats why most of us want our own country. Simple and short

Yeah, it's always a "propaganda" when the bad things Igbos do/did are pointed out.
If it has been proven to be fake gist over and over and people keep repeating it then it is propaganda.

Yeah, no one oppressed the minorities, they just make things up to tarnish the image of Igbos. I wonder why they later abandoned you and supported the federal government, lol. Keep deluding yourself though, whatever makes you sleep better at night.

Southern Cameroon has for years been dealt with by the dictator Paul Biyah. This is peace and freedom for the Ambazonias. At least, the killing of its people by their military will stop.
The southern Cameroon is English speaking and Christian dominated, I think. Claiming parts of Cross River up to Borno through Taraba and Adamawa means abundance of resources for them. I'm afraid they will soon have leadership problem as its northern part will have great influence for power from Northern Nigeria and chad in support of their Muslim brothers.

Those northern LGAs are going to the Republic of Cameroon
Politics › Re: Nigeria May Lose 24 Local Councils To UNO, New UN State By July 10 by joeyfire(m):
Being part of Central African States Federation would be very interesting when jungle mature... Other countries besides this new Ambazonia state are Gabon, Angola, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Burundi etc Very serious people that know how to cooperate like their neighbours the East Africans who are building a railway line across their countries.

On the other hand you have a West Africa that Buhari has blockaded borders with or Ghana's president is using Nigeria as a bad example in his speeches grin

You don't know what you talking about. was Floyd getting young during those periods? Manny refuse a random blood test until it was no longer convenient for him to do so.
Thats not what I remember o. Manny did the mandatory blood test but Mayweather's team still demanded he do more tests and accused him of doping.

Floyd is one of the best boxers but he dodged fights with stronger opponents like Pacqiaou until they were too old and when he was faced with opponents who could beat him he used dirty tricks.

How could Oscar De La Hoya make this list and Sugar Ray Leonard did not?

Igbo are naturally proud and emotional so they always overate themself and underate others. It's a known fact that government doesn't negotiate from weaker sides, why will Ojukwu proudly disrespected head of state by first went online to broadcast the outcome of a meeting. You should know that one of major outcome is that he should accept Gowone as head of state.
So what do you think Gowon and his top men went to Aburi to do? To eat kenke and drink palm wine or what? Gowon went to negotiate, agreed on terms, went back to Nigeria and changed his mind. That is not a gentleman or a decent person at all

I don't know what the noise is all about, what if he started tribalism in Nigeria?? So fuckingg whathuh How is that a crime that someone is loyal to his own tribe? He should have been loyal to another tribe na or he should have watched as an outsider come to rule us, what nonsense!!!
Its not a crime for a man to be loyal to his tribe and work for their interest. But when that man incites hatred for another tribe as a way of garnering political power that is pure evil. You can protect and work for your tribe without attacking others and creating zombies to hate others also. What makes Awo's own worse is that after saying how bad igbos were for 3 decades he wanted to enter into an alliance with them to checkmate the north. So what happened? The igbos suddenly became angels in his eyes because he finally saw the real threat? Few years later he entered an alliance with the north when it was convenient for his ambition.

Awo, Zik and Bello were not saints and had their flaws. Awo's flaw was the tribalism he created to help his political career

There is nothing like nonsense about it. He, Awolowo, equally threatened the Oba of Benin and Ovie of Urhobo.

Partnership and alliance is what produced the rule for rotational presidency between North and South. The rotation is not based on equity and fairness as you alluded to.

If you review the accomplishments and failures since 1999 till date you will see this is evident in both PDP and APC, the two parties that have ruled the country.

If it was simply equity and fairness, it should have made Atiku a President by now.

Buhari naively believed fairness would get him presidency but realized lack of partnership and alliance is what stood in his way.

What is standing in Ibo's way is partnership and alliance. If you continue to wait in line for equity and fairness you will be dissapointed.

Moreover, the SS you are attaching to has also demanded its right to complete GEJ's 8yr rule and have thrown their hats in the 2023 battle. Behind you they are working hard negotiating and forming alliances, smartly and strategically....while you continue in your buffoonery of seeking an equity and fairness to nowhere.
Kwakwakwakakwa grin grin grin grin grin

Yorubas are in no position to lecture anybody especially the South East about the need to enter into alliances to get the presidency. The whole country left the presidency for you people in 1999 because of the equity and fairness that you are trying to downplay today. Yorubas did not enter into any alliance before you were given the president out of PITY over MKO Abiola's death

Igbos don't even need this presidency you are all ready to die for, we need to leave this country for you NURTW people and your masters up north grin But if na matter of alliance and fairness you know Igbos are the people who will get it in 2023. But we no need am, give us a referendum instead

Are you comparing to what igbos faced where till date ikwerre has refused to return your properties llooool
Like the yorubas who refused to share assets with the Midwesterners and deported them immediately after they voted to leave?

Such bitterness. Why are you guys always jittery and bitter when people try to assert their independence?

shocked

"AFTER THE REFERENDUM
 
In Ibadan, less than 48 hours afterwards, the Premier, SL Akintola ordered civil servants of Midwestern origin to leave, with less than 24 hours notice.   As federal referendum officers were returning to their places of work in Lagos on July 22nd, long columns of vehicles carrying over 600 Midwestern families returning from Ibadan, jammed the roads from Owo, and headed for Benin City.  As one witness put it, it was like the �great trek.�
 
For many months, Benin City became a large refugee camp with Western region returnees squatting all over the place in open fields, verandahs etc.   There were very few quarters and the sleepy old provincial capital with dusty untarred roads had long been denied the kind of infrastructure that could support such a sudden population influx.  Drivers of western region official vehicles disposed of their vehicles in ways that depended on their place of origin.  If they were Yoruba, they tried to make it to Ifon just beyond the border.  If they were Midwesterners, they hid their vehicles within Midwestern territory.  As things turned out, to this day, the Western region has never shared its joint assets with the Midwest, a sub-region which accounted for one third of its area and one quarter of its population.  All these years the Midwest (later Bendel State) has had to remain contented with whatever fixed assets were physically on the ground as of August 9, 1963 and could not be moved out.  The Western region and its successor States took what was left"

hedonister:
Pls moderators, move to appropriate section as i don't know which section this fits into

So, basically, i have lived in Lagos Mainland most of my life and i'm more familiar with the area. But in recent times with the rise of rent in most parts of the mainland, i've been looking for a part of Lagos with relatively affordable rent. I know that some parts the mainland such as Iyana Ipaja, Abule Egba, Agbado, Alagbado and it;s environs are cheaper compared to areas in and around Ikeja. But the thing is that i really don't fancy these areas. I even know people that have moved to as far as Otta. These places do not tick my fancy.

I've heard a lot about Ajah, 3rd roundabout, Chevron Drive and i've never been to these places in my life. The farthest i've been to is probably second roundabout or the roundabut after Lekki Phase 1. I've noticed that a lot of people live in these places. How is it comparable in terms of quality of life and cost of living as compared to the mainland and how far are these places really?

I want to make a bolg move by moving to that part of Lagos if it actually presents what i want. I've been searching for houses online in places such as Badore, Sangotedo, Abraham Adesanya and the lots. How are these places really? Are they worth leaving the mainland for?

Thanks in anticipation.

Yorubas are obsessed with being the only ones with access to the sea. See them fighting tooth and nail on NL and on this thread grin. In the old western region they were frustrating the development of the Koko Port in Warri and it was one of the things that made Benin/Delta ppl vote to leave and form the Midwest region

What first made Yorubas hate GEJ was his plan to decongest Lagos by opening up other ports
