Seeing this obscene amount of praise for Abacha shows me a lot of “kiddies” are throwing in their opinions about something they don’t understand. Anyone that lived through his rule would tell you that man was a machiavellian psychopath

People that follow Hundeyin have worms in the brain. That Russian plant is easily one of the biggest misinformation agents on social media.

Nzeogwu may have wanted it to not be an Igbo coup, but a sizable proportion of his collaborators did! Zik was somehow on a cruise during the coup?! Zero plans to dispose of Ironsi? In fact, Nzeogwu was enraged when he found out Ifeajuna made no plans to take out Ironsi.


All that said, I'm tired of young Igbos crying about a war they didn't experience. As someone from the SS, I have family members that lived in the Eastern region during the war, and even they laugh at the idea of a modern Biafra

lol obideeots have invaded the thread with their putrid stupidity

stanvesco:
He would have had mercy on Nigerians
He wouldn't have removed subsidy just like that
He wouldn't have floated naira just like that
He would use eye service to cut down his cost of government aswear


I am sure dollar wouldn't have risen this fast! Afterall he didn't spend so much on election na,so no dollars to recover

The Peter Obi you describe sounds like either a magician or a god. He would do all this? Wow

Bobloco:
The fact that you are asking this question almost two years after Tinubu became president is a testament to the idea that Peter Obi would have done things differently, which would have turned out positively for Nigerians, and to the admission that Tinubu has been a monumental disaster.

What would he have done differently? Economic policies please

All these insults lol. I simply asked what Obi would have done differently. Please give me tangible economic policies he would have implemented, that would have rescued Nigeria from the mess it was in. Tinubu is pragmatic, and has balls as a leader. Tough decisions had to be made, short term pain had to be felt, for long term growth.



Stop posting vague platitudes like he would have turned Nigeria to Singapore because he has experience as a trader

There had to be some painful medicine taken. I’m seeing smart leadership from Tinubu in spite of the hate.

Inflation dropped from 35% to ~24% MOM
Debt yields have fallen to a 5 year low
Oil output has increased. In Jan, the country hit a 4 year high 1.54 million barrels, exceeding the OPEC quota.

;DThis thread is amazing . As Fela would say yansh don fall

Elusive001:
Correct.

Ikwerre is just a dialect of Igbo language.

Ask them why all Ikwerre people understand central Igbo just like every other Igboman? Even an ikwerre people who has never ever come in contact with an Igboman understands central Igbo by default.

There are similarities in our languages due to proximity, but to call Ikwerre a dialect of Igbo is Igbo arrogance. Unlike other groups in Nigeria — Yorubas, Hausas,Fulani there was never a centralized Igbo kingdom, so a centralized Igbo language is a modern phenomenon

gidgiddy:
Why is that every few days, one stupid individual will create one "Ikwerre are not Igbo" thread? What is that about?

Why is there no Etche isnt Igbo thread?

Why is there no Ogba isn't Igbo thread?

Why is there no Egbema isn't Igbo thread?

Why is there no Ndoni isn't Igbo thread?

Why is there no Obigbo isn't Igbo thread?

People have to understand that Ikwerre are not the only people in Rivers State.They are not the only people that speak a language that is mutually intelligible to Igbos, all these people I mentioned do. I'm an Anambra man, but with attentive listening, I understand what all these people say when they speak their language, same as an Ibadan will have listen well to understand when an IJebu man, Egba man, Badagrey man speak

Infact, I have to listen even more attentively when I hear some other Igbo groups such the Ezza/Izzi people of Ebonyi, the Nsukka of Enugu State and the Ohawfia of Abia. Even the dialect of Owerri, capital of Imo State. can sell me if I don't take time.

Ikwere being Igbo or not Igbo will not add one Naira to any Igbo man's pocket

Please, in the grand scheme of things, Ikwerres are few in number compared with the Igbo nation, just about 2 or 3 local governments. They are not even up to the population of the Indigenous Igbos of the lower Benue

We should be talking about more important things, like how to get back over one million Igbos carved into Benue, when they should have been in Ebonyi State. How to get the Anioma people a seperate state

These are what should concern Igbos, and not if two and half LGA's in Rivers State are Igbos or not. There over 20 LGA's in Rivers State

It’s your father that is stupid, fraudster

Odingo1:
Ikwerre are Igbos is just Nigerian politics because they felt Igbos are been marginalised in Nigeria, so they associate with the winning side and deny their heritage.

We are not eegbo

Said the Igbo man called Johnson or Phillip. Why are there Igbos with English names in the year of our lord 2024!?

Ikwerres have Igbo names due to the marginalization by the old eastern region, where they were treated like second class citizens and had to blend in.

Ikwerres are not Igbos, Ikwerres are not biafrans.

A good name, a clean reputation— these things are priceless. Why throw them away for money?

Forkthiefnubu:
Fork him twice and patriotism is to the country and sycophancy and tribalism is to your God/Drug dealer President , you must be a semiliterate and critics of a president or the system is not same as sabotaging the system , tribalism, nepotism, spying on your country, bigotry , rigging elections, corruption is unpatriotic and sabotaging the country , remember the sheppotamus? The calm patriotic president is a far better Nigerian and president than ur drug dealer American spy president

Drink panadol, Federal republic of Biafra is not happening

RandDigital:
Nigerian smart city nko

The fact that you’re posting this on a site called “Nairaland” shows you’ve already lost

Get this kaffir shit out of here

Yujin:
I can be very deadly if you want us to go that route. Go take a good look at your mother before you ever refer to that of others again. I won't be merciful next time.
Your yeriba sycophants is obvious to all and sundry. Masters of deceit and deception always seeking to cause confusion and clash different groups by pretending to be one of them. There's a reason why the Hausas call you people 'munafiki'. They know you guys very well before us. We too have learnt about you guys. No mistakes will ever be done again.

See this little ant talking about deadly . You’re a small boy. I ask you again, you don chop?
Yoruba this, Yoruba that. Small boy, I’ve told you I’m not Yoruba . Mistakes? The biggest Ibo mistake was Biafra, looks like you’ve still not learned your lesson, and some additional flogging is needed

Yujin:
I attack whoever attacks my people. You're 100% Yoruba and I can bet any amount on that. I'm very good in identifying imposters. A simple look at your history on nairaland tells anyone who you are. The number of your posts that were deleted shows the level of shit you can spew out especially against those you love to hate. You are only hiding your head like the ostrich in the 'sand'. Your ruffled and shaggy body is conspicuously visible for all to identify you as a Yoruba.

Bet your mother’s life.

Your victim mentality will drive you insane . Your people? Ikwerres are not and will never be Ibos. Typical ibo behavior is to insult yorubas from sundown to sunshine, then move on to Fulani and Hausa. Ikwerres are not a quarrelsome people.

Yujin:
I pity any ethnic group that chooses to listen to you Yoruba people. They'll live to regret it in due time.

aww don’t cry too much son. You keep on attacking imaginary yorubas

I won’t let my people perish with Igbos in the name of the Biafra.

Yujin:
The toxicity you exude won't allow you progress in life. Continue your hatred against Igbos. It will eventually destroy you.

How is it hatred to tell my people to be wary, and look the Biafra gift horse in the mouth? You people and your victim mentality .

You don chop today?

mrvitalis:
Ikwerre man push for niger Delta republic na and leave us alone haba

Nah, we’re fine where we’re at. Good luck with your landlocked Biafra though

Yujin:
You this Yoruba man full of hate haven't changed even after 10yrs. Life must have been very cruel to you. Ehyyaa, kpele.

Anyone that doesn’t drink their Biafra koolaid is Yoruba . You go explain tire

As a Ikwerre man, I ponder why Southern minorities should want to join Biafra? Knowing that ingroup vs outgroup tribalism is more of a feature of the human race than a defect, why should we trade purported Fulani hegemony for Igbo hegemony?

In the old eastern Nigeria, regardless of what modern Igbos say, minority groups were marginalized. Today, people jump on Ikwerres for saying they’re not Igbos, but the Ikwerres that considered themselves Igbo back then, couldn’t even call themselves Igbos without being mocked.


If you’re a southern minority that supports Biafra, you need to think twice. You’re trading one form of marginalization for another. Isaac Boro saw this 70 years ago.

I’m writing a history book, and I have tried and not been successful at finding any renowned Ibos written about in precolonial West African history. I have numerous exemplary examples from Yorubas and Hausas. Please no tribalism. Any Igbos willing to help out? I’ll make sure I send you a copy of my book once completed.

Also, Jaja of Opobo was not Igbo.

Room temperature IQ. Why Iran of all places? He gets to keep his head another day
