Even if they like, let them hold 100 meetings. Nigeria will never be restructured and power will never be devolved to the states. The core North have more than enough elected officials to make sure that never happens.

well no southerner expected any person from the North to be happy about this anyway. But the fact that you are actually not happy about this is one thing we like. ONE SOUTH

tuniski:
That minimum wage is the root cause of corruption in nigeria. How dare you pay 18k as minimum wage and be crying about endemic corruption,how?

You have said it all

Thankfully 99% of people making comments here including me don't have any say in what course and resolutions the south decides to take. Many are blinded by hatred, pettiness that they'd refuse to see what can be gained but what the other would loose. As for me I'm not that far gone and I say a big YES to southern unity.

If we can only put our differences aside, there's a lot to be gained in having a unified south.if reason can prevail, we can move ahead with a little bit of mutual respect

When I was on 2go I met a guy on 2go international bearing Chibuike, but his location was Equatorial Guinea, by then I thought Equatorial Guinea was very far country/not even in African,
I asked the boy where he from and he said "IMO State", I asked where in IMO state and he said he didn't know,
I told him where I'm from in IMO state and asked again thinking he didn't want to tell me but my guy man no know, I became angry and started insulting him, he was 21yr old, I said how can person who is 21yr old not know his local government area talk less of community . He didn't tell me any thing about Igbo people their, he only told me he was born there so deleted him from my friend list.

Later when I was making use of world fact book app.2011
I discovered that Igbo ethnic group is in Equatorial Guinea.

these our Eastern Brothers sef. , it's in the blood

MKO's ultimate sacrifice was one of the reason OBJ was made the president of Nigeria in 1999 by the kingmakers. This was done to pacify the Yorubas who believed, and rightly so, that MKO was denied his mandate and killed for standing for his rights.

Same cannot be said for some others, who are known to always abandon the "good cause" and fled into exile in stead, after they would sacrificed the lives of some gullible followers.

In fact, credible sources had it that, MKO was offered freedom from detention if he denounced his electoral mandate, but he refused.

Again this cannot be said of a man, who has just a wife and a son and "not much" at stake like MKO, who had many wives and children and huge financial capacity, BUT YET, REFUSED TO COMPROMISE HIS INTEGRITY. The latter day warrior and demi-god was all mouth and no action when it mattered the most. Not only did he accepted a disgraceful bail conditions; he lied about his health to get the bail and thereafter abandon his co-accused.

It is not worthy mentioning the name of the chief idiotic pig of Biafra in the same statements with the hero of June 12, Bashorun MKO Abiola.

No wonder why, instead of sacrifice and political perseverance, employing diplomacy and patience, the idiotic pigs of Biafra wants out of Nigeria for not getting the presidency on a platter of gold, like the Yorubas did in 1999.

Whether we like it or not, MKO deserves a great deal of credit for his sacrifice and at some point in the future, he would get a NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN HIS NAME.

I suggest you do an in-depth study of Tinubu.

i know tinubu and his battles for democracy and I respect him and regard him to be a foremost yoruba leader. But I'll take you back to the point I said this title is not meant for a politician. Its meant for someone rugged, unafraid and ready to loose everything and his life.

BankeSmalls:
The last aare ona kakanfo was flogged publicly, beaten and locked up for years where he was eating watery beans with armed robbers, his wife was later killed and no Yoruba man came to his aid. His name was MKO.

Be warned Gani

MKO was a cilivian, a potician, philanthropist, he was many things and a great man. He wasn't known to be a warrior, yet given the huge title he fought on and refused to relinquish his mandate in Nigeria's fairest election till date in exchange for freedom and it cost him his life. Even without being a warrior he persevered and in the end he didn't betray the sacred order that the bearer must never surrender even on the pain of death. Think on that

naijalo:
There is nothing call aare on kankafo of yoruland. It is aare on kankaofo of Oyo...

Yoruba don't have an title call aare on kankafo.. it shows you people are not Yoruba people..

There is only for Oyo.. go and read books.. Mr seen osewa.. you no go to school. When I have time. I will show you old books..

Even in secondary School history books.. it clearly shows you are on kankaofo of Oyo..and not Yoruba

tell that to the elders of yoruba land. The title came into being when the oyo empire, stretched for and wide into Togo, Benin republic and even Ghana. Ask your elders if you are yoruba. The title is Aare ona kakaanfo of yoruba land

zoedew:
Tinubu was eminently qualified but unlike Goliath he saw the stone coming for his forehead! #omoyerieoko

tinubu is a great yoruba leader but the no this title is not for politicians, it's meant for warriors and jagaban is not one. It's like giving the title of balogun to the person fit to be iyaloja.

Alaafin has made an excellent choice. This title is not meant for those who are politicians or who want to be politically correct. It's meant for the one who is willing to sacrifice everything for yorubaland. And Gani Adams has been at the forefront for many years now. Obasanjo, BAT even with their status as respected yoruba leaders don't deserve the title,though I haven't heard tinubu was interested. Obasanjo who wanted it was a nationalist, not that there's anything bad in that. But when it comes to the interest of the Yoruba people. Gani Adams has been our champion for some time now. And for the people saying he is too young, I don't know how a 57 year old man is being considered too young for the post of a general

babadee1:
You well so? Na wetin consign Rochas with Biafra biko.

You dey mind am,too many comedians on NL

God bless the men and women of the Nigerian army
God bless federal republic of Nigeria

zenmaster:
This is your conclusion, not mine.


Read more and stop deflecting

You said and I quote "Ilorin fell to the Jihadis because of Afonja mumuism." that was what I responded to. Now that you know emir is an Arabic title not a fulani title. I have no reason to argue with you

zenmaster:
Well, the point is that Ilorin fell to Jihadis because of the mumuism of Afonja

are you implying the Saudis, fulani themselves, the Indonesians, the turks etc are mumus? You may be a Christian just like me, but I doubt u know the history of Christianity. The crusades in Christianity is the exact copy of jihad. That happened to be the way things were done then. Christianity only had another option, evangelism. Now adopted by islamists too. So stop being petty. It only makes you seem ignorant

zenmaster:
Great.
So how and why did they move from Alaafin to Emir?
And what happened to the Alaafin?

Ilorin was a garrison town, just like ibadan, the ibadan people decided to have an olubadan, now they recently decided to add 30 more lol.tho there are obas and there are obas. The Ilorin people being what we call the foremost Muslim city in yoruba land have an Emir. Just like they have in Saudi, UAE, Afghanistan etc. They never for once had an oba in Ilorin, it was headed by a chief,/garrison commander, afonja being the last before it fell to jihadist who happen to be of fulani origin. Jihad being how Islam was propagated to most Muslim countries or state of the world, including Saudi Arabia itself

Klinee:
What do you mean by the language? Igala Mela people in kogi speak neat Igbo language does that make them Igbos?

well Ilorin is yoruba, you can ask anyone you know who originated from the place. Hope this settles the matter

Klinee:
Shut up!!!! you lie!!!

the emir is a Fulani

Bukola Saraki is a Fulani

Ilorin is under the jurisdiction and control by the Fulani emirate and was never under oyo empire.

a simple trip to Wikipedia will enlighten you and besides how can you claim to know more than we the yorubas about the history of a Yoruba town. Saraki being yoruba or fulani is another matter, but should you ever have the opportunity to visit the emirs Palace, you shouldn't be surprised to discover that what you will hear is pure unadulterated yoruba language

zenmaster:
So why did Ilorin choose to have an Emir, since they had an Oba in the past ?

they never had an oba, afonja himself was a titled chief of the oyo kingdom under alaafin

bigiyaro:
fvckin slaves in dia own ancesral land. imagine an oba in sokoto

emir is not a fulani title

Nairalanders especially the igbos, pls let us learn as learning is the privilege of the living. Pls stop asking why there is an emir in Ilorin instead of an Oba. Emir is an Islamic title not a fulani or hausa title. Ilorin is predominantly Muslim and they have an emir. They may choose to have an Oba one day. But stop making it seem as if emir belongs to the fulani people, it's Arabic. Thank you.

bigiyaro:
d emir is a fulani, why would a yoruba man bear a fulani title in yoruba land

i hoped someone else would address this before I had to, emir is an Arabic title, it doesn't belong to fulani or hausas, hausas used to have seriki as the head of their clans before the advent of the Islam. Ilorin being a predominantly Muslim city and a or the major Islamic city in yoruba land have an Islamic ruler. There was never an Oba in Ilorin at any point in time though I'm not saying the yorubas in Ilorin if they so wished but it's up to them and not me, and most certainly not you or any igbo for that matter

Yyeske:
No, the message on radio Biafra now is peaceful resolution, referendum and release of Nnamdi kanu, no more burning the zoo and all the trash we were used to before since they now know that getting into a war with Nigeria will be disastrous.
That was why I ignored that post.

hmm,so they could change their radical ways,if only they had chosen to be reasonable before people died.better late than never I guess.

Yyeske:
Sometimes you don't argue with kids online, I tried engaging him when he started reeling out dates but when I saw that trash you quoted, I simply ignored him and I guess so many Igbos did same because it sounded childish

i wanted to ignore him but something told me this was how kanu started, kanu himself was asking for weapons at a time and it was there and then that the igbos people should have made it abundantly clear that no one wanted a war.now warbird has started and I'm wondering if this is a message being passed around on radio biafra and decided to once again try to call reasonable igbos to try to nip this in the bud

OjukwuWarBird:
There will be a war in the next 6 years or 10 years in precise.

It will erupt gradually either in 2023 or 2027.


The stupidity of the Hausa Fulani Yoruba biased elites and their supporters will cause the war.



Every Biafran should start acquiring weapons knowledge starting in this order below

1) Explosive powders, solids and liquids especially guncotton, TNT and any other more powerful than gunpowder

2) Ammunitions especially bullets , shells, missiles, torpedoes and bombs.

3) Weapons especially rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, mortars, artilleries, tanks, jets/helicopters, submarines.



If truly you are Biafran, start developing this technology secretly with others like you even if you guys aren't science inclined.


2023 and 2027 are the cross road years for Nigeria especially in the hands of the Hausa Fulani Yoruba elites and their supporters.


@ discusant tell everyone you know to follow this pattern because we have no more time again

Spread this information through WhatsApp Facebook etc

this guy right here is an enemy of the igbo people, Mr warbird I'm not sure if this ridiculous idea is yours or something you heard on radio biafra but for you to believe this to the extent of wanting people to adopt this mad idea makes me doubt your sanity no offense. You are talking about submarines, tanks, aircrafts and etc as if it's something that can be ordered on jumia.where would you get such funds? Where would you hide such warcrafts or submarine were you able to purchase it let alone make one as if it wouldn't require massive production lines and space. Your igbo brothers who saw what you wrote and agreed or dismissed,or those who simply ignored this without calling you to order are the real enemies of the igbo.

The easterners dodged a big bullet, I ve always said to those around me that when the time came, the igbo leaders would be the ones calling for kanu's head while the rest of nigeria watched unconcerned. You can just imagine what would have happened in abia state HD things got out of hand. Imagine somehow the ipob miscreants regrouped, somehow overpowered the army and killed them, Aba would probably have been wiped off and nigeria would be in a state of war with the theater being the south east. The Igbos, including those coming out now to say they didn't support kanu's method are one lucky bunch. Every one has hot heads but you need to be able to manage them. The Northerners didn't that's why they are being ravaged by boko Harambe and shekau, the Niger delta has a lot but they succeeded in managing them with a few lapses, we would have had our own kanu clone in South West by the name of adeyinka gradson but he knows he wouldn't get any support. The Igbos should just focus on ohaneze and refrain from trying to get a hot head champion because it just doesn't suit their culture. That way why the youths were able to misbehave that the elders couldn't do anything about it.

Ojukwu never insulted yorubaas nor used hate speech against them, he went as far as inviting Awolowo for a private discussion where he communicated with him for over an hr in yorubaa, yet Awolowo starved to death over 3 million Biafraan children. So stop this crap of hate speech, it has nothing to do with how yorubaas view this struggle. Had Nnamdi kanu not insulted yorubaas, you yorubaas will still hate him as they hated Ojukwu for no reason if not that Biafraa will leave them.

You are not Ojukwu neither am I Awolowo. I don't know the full account of the events leading to the Civil War, and the exact roles each played or the reasons they had. What I do know is most yorubas dont hate you people,and if the older generation could let go why won't you people who didn't witness it. I never had issues with any igbo man till NK. And many of you will admit he made big mistakes. It's now left if you want to continue making the same mistakes or learn from them. Why fight at all if you can't concentrate on what truly matters which is victory, we can learn from the past, no need to relive it

I dare say Igbos may eventually win my support and the majority of Yorubas if they can keep this new agitation free of hatred, incitement and of course seek allies. They should learn from the mistakes of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB and see others rise to stand with them. Most of us don't hate igbos, neither do we wish to see any group marginalized nor subjugated. The time for hate campaign is gone and this time around,it should be about the real issues that affect us and the path we wish to follow be it restructuring or separation.
