Any time in nairaland when any biafran issue is mentioned, biafran antagonist keep saying the south east (IGOBS ) keep dragging the south south or Niger delta with them, with quotes like "we the Niger deltas should not be included in your Biafra rubbish", we SSners are not part of you". Then I ask myself are the SSners or Niger deltas a homogeneous tribe or race?
The last time I checked, Niger delta includes abia,imo,rivers,akwa ibom, delta, bayelsa cross rivers, etc . while SS are Edo, delta,rivers,c/rivers ,akwa ibom,bayelsa. these states contains different ethnic groups mainly, efik,annang, ijaw, ebibio,iteksheri,Igbo/delta Igbo. so how comes one ijaw boy or THOSE ijaw claimers, say SE is dragging SS to Biafra, and they say " we SS or ND is not part of Biafra we want Niger delta Republic".Abeg, Who is dragging who, one ijaw boy claiming he can speak for the other ethnic groups including igbos/delta Igbos. Please all these "we Niger deltas " should stop showing their foolishness,they should pray for referendum so that they can vote against Biafra.

I've personally noticed something peculiar to the Redeemed Christian church of God which I am not comfortable with. The Bible warns that we should not give chance for people to question our faith our unity in the body of Christ. In other churches, like deeper life, chosen, mountain on fire etc state and regional pastorship have always been of people of different tribes as the case may be,

But it's not so with in Redeemed Christian Church of God were MOST (not ALL about (86%)). of their regional / state pastors are most Yoruba's in almost every state in nigeria. Is it that the people mostly trusted to be Good pastors to handle that PARTICULAR POSITION are from one particular tribe? This is what is happening currently in our Government. Please, constructive criticism no tribalism.

DEOLINX:
I read Nairaland everyday. I have noticed however that there may be some paid people passing or writing comments on the platform.

I have to come to this conclusion because I don't want to admit that our education system has failed us. Otherwise, maybe want is called common sense is not actually that common.

I read as people praise economic sabotage here as if it is a form of agitation meant to improve our living standard. They gloat here as if Blowing up pipelines will help in cleaning the same environment they claim is their reason for agitation.

Seems to me we are so used to impunity that our sense of reasoning cannot comprehend the difference between good and bad.

Are we okay that our representatives can break the law and claim its internal democracy and that these people have so much they do that impacts our lives that they should be entitled to different salary and tax structures?

Have we ever asked where all the huge monies allocated to the Niger Delta region has been spent over the last 20 years.

Madam Ngozi ,economy guru, claimed that the money released to these region within the five years of her management is more than over 60% of the entire budget of the West African region and further claim the country was borrowing to pay salaries when crude was selling for $70 per barrel.

Now we can't even export, foreign investors are running away and crude prices have dropped to around $35 Only upped by our own stupidity to the benefit of other exporting countries.

Yet, we come here making our stupidity known to the world by expecting the current government to perform miracles.

I think it's time the youth of today look at borrowing some senses and open their eyes and head to realities so their future can be secured. Our representatives are there to represent themselves , they earn huge salaries, drive expensive jeeps and are in the process of securing their future with bogus life pensions and immunity for advance impunity.

This president is not interested in re-election. All i see is corruption fighting back. We can shoot from here to heaven, defend lies and dance as people blow the Niger Delta region to ashes. Has anyone even be coherent as per what the agitation is all about beyond their personal interests?

Jonathan was their for 6 years, what single communial development took place...OK I remember, selected agitators became so rich that they have weapons more than the Nigerian Army, Navy put together....now we are at their mercies.

We lay our beds....we are sleeping on it. I worry for the future of my children. This facebook children have no clues what the real world is all about.

why being one sided there can't be peace without justice are they they blowing pipe lines for nothing? first you called them 5% , you are appointing northerners on key positions and all the other injustice being meted to them. the truth is he that pays the piper detects the tune Nigeria is sustained by their wealth, so if they feel they are being despised they can decide to go haywire, it then calls for wisdom from the president to make sure that he takes care of the people who feeds the nation. what if they call for self determination which is a right, will Nigeria still be an oil producing nation it calls for wisdom

nawa for some people o it's a normal thing to try to associate with people/ things you are not too familiar with, opposite attracts opposite, but people see it every time as inferiority complex, whether black or white the law of opposite attraction is the same. aren't you aware some white fanaticize some of our cultures and traditions.

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves, Nigeria is not the faint of africa, if you go to other African countries you will know what am talking about. the only thing we've got is large population and oil, nothing else we aren't even among First 10 most advanced African countries all na mouth. I laugh when some Nigerian imitates Donald Trump and say Nigeria will be great. when was Nigeria great?
the truth is northern Nigeria has not helped at all
1) if not for northern Nigeria our literacy rate would have increased
2) poverty rate reduced
3) many people for never die ( there have been many post election violence in the north
4) we would have not been lazy with far work
it irritates me when I hear they feed Nigeria and yet people are staving in the North
British people really spoilt things why mixing coke and fanta together
1) they signed an agreement to become united kingdom but forced us together
2) they respect their citizen's right conduct referendum etc and they clap for us when we kill our citizens
3) even NK who abused them through radiobiafra, they still come to visit him in detention because he is their citizen but can we do that for ourselves.
if irritates me when some on defends one Nigeria a Creation of some white people seriously I don't understand. whether you like it or not Biritian is still our colonial master most sectors in Nigeria is headed by white mostly oil and gas but during biafran war, biafrans produced weapons, refined oil without help, why can't we tap into all that, now one useless person will tell me Nigeria is the faint of africa .spits

Nigerians not just Igbo's depends in Lagos ( to some extent) for economic survival because of the structure of lagos.
lagos is termed as center of excellence (who no go won excel) there for many tribes move to Lagos to excel so also may tribes move to abuja to unite.
even many Yoruba's in sw who are not originally lagos indigenes come in their mass to Lagos.
what structures in Lagos attracts many Nigerians and mostly Igbo's
1) Embassies and consulate offices. Most consulate offices and embassies are located either in Lagos or abuja. Therefore Igbo's by their very nature who travel outside the country a lot would either go to Lagos or abuja to get visa . Therefore in Ten Nigerians coming to Lagos to get a visa,four or three will be Igbo's. but if there are embassies in Enugu I don't need to get my visa in Lagos or abuja
2) international airports before now, if Nigerians where coming back home ( having a large Igbo diaspora) they would either go through Lagos or abuja, but now with Enugu airports receiving direct flights, I as an Igbo man (and many others in diaspora) who would want to visit home to Xmas will fly straight to Enugu then to my village
3) seaport. Although there are several seaports in Nigeria, Lagos is a major seaport in Nigeria before PH, critics would want to jump on me, why don't they import from pH and stop blaming yorubas. Igbo's for sure has majority of importers and exporters and also many shipping companies but why they keep importing from Lagos other than pH is because Lagos seaport has more depth or daught of like 13 m which is the deepest of all presently in the country which can contain larger ships and cargos than of ph, this is why shipping companies would always prefer Lagos port for more profit. ( why did the government construct ibaka deep-sea Port which has 16m depth more than Lagos )
therefore if I am an Igbo trader, with an ibaka, Lagos, pH seaport I will prefer the one of ibaka since it is near my market in Aba and onitsha .
Igbo's are well known travelers, business oriented, importers and exporters, traders than any other ethnic groups, Lagos being favorable to all these due government structures will attract Igbo's more than other tribes. the Lagos government should be happy with this as they make much money from tasking shipping companies, importers, exporters, airlines etc if not for the aforementioned igbos population in Lagos will almost be the same in Lagos , kano, Jos , etc

i've been going through nairaland and I've noticed that generally many Yoruba's believe IGOBS ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM THEIR REGION (erosion ravaged) TO LOGOS and that IGOBS CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT LOGOS
the first claim is false while the second claim maybe 20% correct but not for only Igbo's but for Nigerians. Nigerians depend on both Lagos and abuja for political and economic survival as both are center of unity and excellence .
Igobs are not only in Lagos but also in abuja , According to formal FCT minister Igbo's own 50% of landed properties in Abuja. Igbo's are the largest minority tribes in Lagos and Abuja and are also found in multitudes in other parts of the country (not only in Lagos) and the world more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria . In fact, they contribute to more than 50% of Nigerians in Diaspora. IGOBS are the most migrant African tribe ,World census accounts Igbo's as have a worldwide population of 70 million whereas with Nigerian census they are said to be 40 million , then where are the other 30 million Igbo's are they all outside Nigeria? even if those census are not exactly accurate, it is not far from the truth because Igbo's just like the Jews has spread all around the globe and some have blended to foreign culture or have intermarried thereby making it easy for them to remain outside their region. in general, Igbo's find it easy to adapt to foreign culture, environment and language. Igbo's speaking non Igbo languages are more than non Igbo's speaking Igbo languages ,this is because they know for them to succeed in businesses or whatever in Rome they must behave like the Roman's.
this misconceptions maybe due to the fact Yoruba's travels less than the Igbo's and cannot blend as the Igbo's do.
if you say Igbo's are running away from SE to Lagos
1) Why is it that SE has the highest population density in Africa
2) why is it Igbo cities are 97% of Igbo indigenes
3) are those indigenous companies in Onitsha and Aba owned by Yoruba's (innoson and co)
4) Those Aba made ( made in China) shoes,bags,clothings are they produced by Yoruba's
5) maybe those spectator in Enugu stadium where also Yoruba's .
They are running to Lagos to get 2*2 shops, but why is Aba mall the largest in Africa and ariaria market the second largest in WA .
for the fact Igbo's dominate Alaba international market or computer village does not mean they are running away from SE , pls Yoruba's should visit Jos , calabar , pH ,kano ,Togo, Benin, Maiduguri et al and see Igbo's doing great business (including trading) Yoruba's should stop being naive or sophisticated and compete with Igbo's if they can , stop saying deport Igbo's from Lagos or throw them to the lagoon yet they fought to bring them Bk to Nigeria I think it's a mixture of hypocrisy and jealousy

bobchigar:
When the negotiation with Boko Haram failed, the Nigerian armed forces are there to eliminate them. It is not that the Govt is afraid to face the so called militant groups but the Nigeria govt is strategically preparing his case before the international law so that it can claimed that it has tried all the means to reach dialogue with the militants but they refused to embrace dialogue.

I used to laugh when I see this group of people threatening the peace of this country because of the ammunition they claimed to have. Can they have ammunition more than Nigeria Govt? They better wise up now and embrace dialogue before it is too late.

The pathetic aspect of it is that if the govt looses its armed forces the innocents will also suffer.

stop being silly can u fight who you can't see Nigeria has numerous records of human rights abuse from shite to ipob and many more the government is confused only thing they are good is to harass civilians

in nairaland forum there are two opposite pressure groups, wailers and zombies but feel free to identify yourself . be proud of who you are vote 1 for zombie and 2 for wailer

op are u a Nigerian because it is hard to see an atheist in Nigeria but my reply you is to ask yourself what if I believe in God even if I die and find put there isn't I've not lost but what if there is. my answer to atheist who thinks they can reason well is google this ( proofs that the bible is true) there are proofs that shows the bible is true
1 the bible for tells that the earth is spherical (it says the circle of the earth) this was long before scientists found it to be true
2 the bible also talks about God hanging the earth in nothing also scientists found this out later , these are just a little of it
Now the same bible says the fool says there is no God brother think again I will like u to watch this movie God's not dead , also don't you think there are true miracles and juju really works this is to show you that spiritual realm really exit hope u will understand

senatorbayor:
FG now in the process of negotiating with the militants.

May be we should not be too hasty to take vital decision in any capacity we find ourselves.

Imagine FG now negotiating with the CRIMINALS
It would have been nice if such words were not used to describe them by the president .

Same process of negotiations the opposition then condemned past administration.

Of a truth, he that wears the shoes knows where it pinches

why not look into what they are saying if there is no justice then there would be no peace why not looking into there terms and restructure the country there is so much injustice in 9ja the earlier we tell ourselfs the truth the better for us

Boyedex:

I'm not a big fan of Buhari but I like his approach. He is trying to do everything possible first to give the supporters of the militants no point when he starts wielding the other option - full military operation.
Buhari that is known would be willing to see a military action take place in that region. And crying may be too late if it ever gets to that.

stop deceiving your self buhari has no approach do you think boko haram is lyk NDA this boys are sophisticated and might have connections international beside that you can't destroy the whole of NDA area Nigeria will collapse do you thinking defeating NDA is easy with all the miliary they are still carrying out attacks . Negotiating is the only way out

I've been hearing of Aba made products, some people say these products are fake while others claim they are good and that the people of Aba are talented pls I want to know the products made in Aba and if possible pictures of these

kropotkin2:
A referendum is illegal to the Nigerian constitution. Any president including Buhari who contemplates it must go through with a constitutional amendment to insert a breakaway clause, otherwise that president risks impeachment. On the other hand, it is possible to raise a military standard against the Nigerian armed forces, defeat her in battle and achieve a separate state. The referendum go hard

but I think referendum is not in UK's Constitution but for sake of peace and how civilized they are, they gave if a try so Nigeria should learn from her colonial master so that peace will reign

if I am Aisha buhari to calm wailers I will travel to US that's all

OsusuMustFlow:

me-think CAN is just bein un-serious here. Muslim can wear hijab. I remembered in my secondary years, they forced us to sing all christian songs and even read bible despite that we are muslim. can you try it with them?

I understand but to stop the madness let the Muslims have their own school while Christians have theirs then for public schools you can do anything you want as far as you are not stopping others from their religions practices

if buhari no pay em guard then he is not showing a good example to the governors, them too no go pay workers

shamecurls:
Yoruba leads and others follow...........



The King of Kings of the Federal Republic of Nigeria


......There is none like him

people should be careful of what they say before God go vex do onni something king of kings , there is none like him nawa o for DIS yoruba piple self

the truth is that both the guy and the Lady are not true believers of their religion. the guy is just a normal Christian , he is not saved and the Lady also is not a fervent Muslim faithful real or faithful Muslims are commanded not to marry outside their religion likewise the Christian folks my conclusion is that they don't even know what they believe in , they are not faithful to their religion they can do any thing they want A real chirstain won't risk disobeying God because of a girl it means Jesus don't have the final say in your life

ekesimo:
Buhari knew he made mistake by arresting Nnamdi Kanu. It is shame that is making him not to release the young man. See, I keep saying it: the time has come, no Jupiter can stop it. So if buhari likes he should continue d detention but one thing is sure. the moment Nnamdi KANU is set free, that is d moment that Biafra as an independent nation will kick off. Trust me on that.

Anyway, I thank d almighty CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA that am going to be a partaker of this great freedom.

#supportbiafrarefrendum

check this out

This article is on Biafra and the EVENTS THAT WILL
PRECEDE its emergence as a free and sovereign
nation.
Six noteworthy events will occur and I'll attempt
however as much as could reasonably be expected,
to paint everything precisely as it will happen.
In the first place is the imprisoning of Nnamdi
Kanu. This occasion will bring to affirmation the
fact that Biafra will come to be. There will be
celebration and awesome yells of euphoria in the
camp of the adversaries. But since they are visually
impaired and can't see the handwriting on the wall,
they will go hard and fast to smother and crush
every little thing about him and what he remains for
however this won't work. This infers the stupidity of
the Biblical "devil" who out of foolishness, killed the
Lord of Glory and thus help achieve the rebuilding
of man.
Next after Nnamdi Kanu is imprisoned, there will be
anarchy and upheaval. This is not those general
distress you read about on daily papers or on web.
The considerable bedlam will immerse everywhere,
and shockingly will bring about unbelievable
decimation. All around will actually get to resemble
a war torn territory and will be plagued with rats
and insects. I am not a prophet of fate, but rather
on the grounds that I owe you the truth, I'll say it
precisely as it seems to be.
After this episode, all the gatherings clamoring for
an autonomous state of Biafra will "cease to exist"
for there will be incredible palpitations and
trepidation. Kindly notice that the expression CEASE
TO EXIST has been utilized allegorically.
It is at this phase freedom will come. But first,
there will be a great division. Two groups will rise.
One of them which will be agreeable to Biafra is the
before now "dead group". It is at this phase Buhari
will be HUSTLED out of office, and Nnamdi Kanu
will be discharged.
There will be incredible celebration as a result of
his release. He would unsurprisingly rise to become
the president of the new country afterwards.
After this entire dramatization has played out, there
will be an incredible reconstructing and rebuilding
and correcting. The sun/star will become visible
and paradise will come down to rest in Biafra Land.
These occasions will happen precisely as they have
been portrayed above. You can go and record it
somewhere.
The onus is currently on you to implore God to turn
away the considerable debasement that will happen.
Pass this message to as many persons as you can.
God favor Biafra.


Biafra will come if they release Nnamdi Kanu

pls op stop bringing this baby mama tins to front page in short stop people from creating any thing babymama related it appealing to our girls as if is a good thing to do

t2luv1:


I tend to stay neutral when it comes to this Biafra business it is hard to remain objective but i will try. When SE people agitate for Biafra I always wonder why the addition on SS into the dialog. SS agitation is completely different from the SE people agitation. I am willing to bet that when presented with the option of either going with the SE or the rest of Nigeria an average SS will opt to remain with Nigeria. So why then the inclusion of SS in the conversation when it comes to Biafra !!!

why are u deceiving urselfs are u from ss if not shot d trap what concerns u wit biafra

apc Sha Na the zombies we believe them they used attractive promises to trap people but na one chance.
zombies no get sense o how can u believe all those promises lyk 300,000 jobs in one year, 24/7 light in on year, 1 dollar to one Naira, na even person we no get certificate promise an, Buhari na him dey control exchange rate? incompetent set of people

obailala:
The reasons why he cannot generate much revenue is obvious, you cannot expect ekiti state to generate as much revenue as Delta state.

But yeah, that we cannot generate is not a reason why those who generated and swallowed all they generated should be exonerated.

which obvious? He should have asked for help from his predecessor rather than a lopsided corruption fight, he should swallow his pride and seek for ways to improve the economy the truth should be told apc has no clue on governance all they do is to complain about everything. buhari said that he is going to forge ahead on 29th May but if he must progress he must forget all the blaming well I wish Nigerians well

Why Not maybe u don't understand why they are called zombies, apc juju strong well well, bigotry woun't allow them say the truth for once even if they would die. I BET u even if 1 dollar turns to 2,000 Naira MOST northerners and Some westerners will still support buhari zombies must support him that's why they are zombies, it's said first impression matters but e no dey for zombies dictionary. to be zombie mean say u no get sense and human feelings "imagine supporting fuel subsidy removal to their detriment a good zombie would have kept silent, infact any person wey do dem dat jazz tell the person say e strong well well I go lyk com borrow am

Why Not

maybe u don't understand why they are called zombies, apc juju strong well well, bigotry woun't allow them say the truth for once even if they would die.

mheey:



Biafra is different from the south south..hope you know?

If una wa waka...u r free too ;DDD
No they carry south south pple join body

ss comprises of both delta and rivers states which also has igbo speaking indigens, u cannot speak for ss they would speak for themselves selves,last tym I checked the first protest started In rivers they should have organised anti biafran protest if they are not interested. I doubt you are from ss you would have realized that may ss people are in support of the agitation, you type makes people call your Yoruba pls receive sense for once

Niger delta wanted a restructured Nigeria but buhari's five percent statement may them realize that fighting for self determination would be the best

Goke7:


The SE and SS declared public hatred for PMB during the elections campaign last year, PMB is human like everyone of us, if any group display openly their hatred for you, it will take you time to get over it easily. The SE and SS also added insult to injury by telling PMB and the whole world openly that they had no regrets supporting Jona.

The SE and SS lack political tact, the northerners who supported Jonathan all through lay low after the elections and started reaching out diplomatically to PMB, even the northerners in PDP presently are always tactful when dealing with PMB. Politics is a game and it could go either way. When its not in your side, you act diplomatically and build bridges. Our brothers across the Niger must learn and respect others even when they do not agree politically. PMB will complete his tenure and when another election time comes, every region will have their opportunity again to show their political prowess. We should stop being cry babies.

so u mean se and ss should withdraw their support because gej lost that's nonsense
