₦airaland Forum

OP,clearly,you've raised very valid and dispassionate points that only few posters have attempted to address.
However,it's very obvious that Nigeria's future as a nation doesn't seem to be very bright,even to the most optimistic.
The nation is in serious strife presently and people(not just the Biafrans) are tired of successive useless governments and leaders who say one thing during campaigns and do exactly the opposite; leaders who clearly do not care about the progress of this nation.
Where and what is the pride of being a Nigerian?
What do you gain as a Nigerian?
Is this the kind of country you'll want your children and grand children to have? For how long do we continue to "try" and make it work?
This protest is not totally because the Igbos feel marginalized; rather it's a protest against a failed state.
Only that the Igbos (or Biafrans) are the ones brave enough to come out in the open about it.
I see about 3 or 4 consequences in all these: (1) the Biafrans might be made scape goats (2) the protests may die out naturally (3) the Biafrans might have their own Nation (4) the Nation might be restructured and some of these dissatisfactions addressed. Number (1) though is highly unlikely in this age and time.
Let posterity be the judge.

1, Akwa-Ibom: Akwa-Ibom ranks as the top crude oil producing states in Nigeria with production going on in upto 8 different local government Areas in the state. 2, Rivers: Initially Rivers state was the major oil producing states in the country, with two refineries in Port Harcourt and large crude oil reserve. 3, Delta: Delta ranks third in the list of oil producing states in Nigeria. 4, Bayelsa: Bayelsa is the state where crude oil was first discovered in commercial quantity in Nigeria 5, Cross River 6, Imo 7, Abia 8, Anambra 9, Ondo: Ondo States serve has the only state from south west that produces oil in commercial quantity.

Hmmm.... I didn't see Edo state there. OP,are you sure this list is correct?

OP, 90 percent of what you posted there are complete unadulterated lies.
I don't know how you guys do this - you just wake up one morning,get a brain wave and start posting absolute lies all over the place without your conscience pricking you??
What do you intend to gain by ridiculing a young government which is doing averagely well by any Nigerian standard??
That Man,in as much as he has his shortcomings,has been taking some uncommon bold steps for Ebonyi state that will benefit Ebonyi state at the long run.
Go round the state and see there's beginning to be sanity and orderliness.

If Buhari is itching for who to crucify for corruption,he has many of them as his ministers and party members.
You guys should stop all these propaganda of Buhari fighting corruption;it's getting boring. The campaigns are over.

Baba ranks 5stars for paparazzi,thus he is a babarazzi president

Guy wetin dey worry you sef?? Nawa you o. This psycophancy thing don chop your head.

These so-called elders keep on passing down the wrong values to the younger ones. What moral right does she have to say this kind of thing about the economy after helping to foist GMB on us?
Where lies the honour in her?
She should keep shut and enjoy whatever she gets in this Government.

From what I've seen so far,the Niger Deltans are comfortable with the way things are currently. If not,they wouldn't have come out so openly to disassociate themselves from the people seeking for Biafra. It's a simple logic: you don't support Biafrans in anyway,how can you now expect other people (including those who want Biafra) to support your own quest?
The SE people should pause this agitation for Biafra for now,and play the normal parasitic politics in the country,until such a time other regions have woken up and realized the nation needs to be restructured sincerely.
Infact,the SE people are not the worst off in the whole system,the way I see it.
They may not have been able to produce a president in recent times from their region,but they've had the opportunity to access resources of other regions while their own are relatively untapped.

Boring book. What is our business with whatever grudge they have against each other? How does that impact positively on the masses? When they were all yummy yummy enjoying the largess of the government,did they invite us to partake or witness it? Now they want to thrust their rubbish in our faces...
Abeg they should take their madness and childishness to their villages and maybe settle it with a wrestling bout since they've both refused to grow up.

Donald Trump was correct - even though his assertions had a tinge or two of hatred and harshness.
African Nations seemed to have failed to get it right after so many years of gaining independence individually. They're still bedeviled by small pettiness like local Tribalism,willful corruption,mental laziness and inferiority complex. These are unfortunate but true.

Good

IT SHALL NEVER BE WELL WITH ANY IGBO THAT WANTS BIAFRA. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL. NNAMDI KANU MUST BE QUICKLY ELIMINATED BY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT SO THIS BIAFRAN NOISE CAN DIE DOWN. ONE NIGERIA IS ALL WE SEEK AND WANT. OUR PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE IS OUR NATIONAL PRIDE. THE IGBOS ARE GOING NO WHERE.


SAY NO TO BIAFRA

I suggest you spend more time improving yourself,instead of seeking for unnecessary attention with this kind of threads and your comments.
Everybody on this forum knows you're one guy riddled with serious inferiority complex. Even your moniker and signature scream it.
You have a problem you should pay attention to; and it's not Biafra or the Igbos.

9jacrip:
These sheetgbos must either have a bad memory or just hold so much contempt for the Yoruba that they forget history.

The Yoruba you call cowards have fought many wars before you.

The Yoruba you tag cowards messed you up and killed not only your Biafra dream but over 2 million of you, the braves.

The Yoruba repelled you from Ore, fought you deep into your lands till your leader surrendered to whom, the Yoruba.

This same Yoruba fought tha fulani and put an end to their expansionist wars at Osogbo and Jalumi wars.

You, the sheetgbo are the brave hearted but Hausa has, since 1966 used you lot for shooting and suya practise, Yoruba has 'frucked' you up in wars and trounced you in politics, the Ijaw has shown you are not in their league - know your place sheetgbo, the brave ethnic group that gets knocked around by every other group, the foot mat ethnic group of naija.

I dey wait una.

You're part of the reason people call you call you cowards - see the way you completely avoided the topic of discourse and started hyperventilating about the Igbos. Where I come from,we call that cowardice.

I wonder why this Edo guys consider their Opinion relevant in Biafra and SS issue...
Is it still the same Edo people that went around pointing out Deltans to the federal troops to be massacred during the Civil war or another Edo?
You guys have opened this kind of thread severally and you have been told severally that nobody wants to include you in Biafra or SS for that matter if there's a reshuffle.

The greatest challenge Tinubu has politically now is not PDP,rather it is within APC;more specifically from the Northern cabals in APC.

I think this OP is nuts...
Someone should lock him once again and make sure he doesn't get out this time around.

A prophet is not appreciated in his homeland.

FKO81:
I thought Yorubas don't get Oba outside southwest. Ndiara

My Brother,just forget all those rubbish they're touting about that Yorubas don't have rulers outside Southwest. They're just mere cheap excuses to justify their deep-seethed hatred and envy against the Igbos,and their uncivil actions towards the Eze Ndigbo. We all know better.
No amount of twisting of fact or propaganda can white-wash the embarrassment the Deji and his touts have caused on the Yorubas.

kestolove95:
Yorubas shud better wakeUp and chase dox intruders out of dia town, dey call try dat rubbish in the north

Who do you call intruders? People your Fathers fought and shed blood just to keep in the same country with them??
Maybe you've never been to the Southeast Before,but there are many Yorubas living in Igboland. They're just like other Nigerians living elsewhere; only that when they commit crimes or flout the local rules,people don't gather and harass or lynch them because they're not Igbos.

drey076:
Where is dat biafra guy dat said the herds men cannot invade the south east, empty chest beaters

You and the OP should do well to learn the meaning of 'invade'.

OP,go home;you're drunk again.

lygn19:
to me its right, if the yorubas hadnt stopped him from trying to lord over that one market, very soon he would repeat same in another market.
If the yorubas over look that one too, very soon he might start passing laws in the land. Thats the domination tendency northerners detest about we igbos lets try to curb it.

Guy you're funny... I can't believe you're succumbing to the obvious psychological blackmail against the Igbos. What you're saying now is exactly what they intend to achieve - making you feel you have no right as an Igbo to lead a market outside the southeast states,and for you to feel they're doing you a favor when you do business in those places. What happened to "one Nigeria"? The constitution of the country guarantees that anybody is free to do business anywhere in the country within the tenets of the law and following due process. It is that simple: you can do business and lead in any market in the country so long as you're a Nigerian and you're following the due process.
If the Eze NdiIgbo had done anything wrong,don't you think it would have been more appropriate to report the matter to the police or maybe inform his superiors like other Ezes,rather than handling it 'toutishly'?
The whole thing smacked of envy,jealousy and serious lack of civility,and it has set a precedence. Yorubas who lauded this shouldn't expect to be treated with civility anywhere in Igboland,and maybe if any Yoruba flouts any local rule in Igboland,the person should be punished without recourse to due process of the laws of the country.

ola6:
This is the most FO.OLISH comment I have read today. You go to another man's land and cause trouble, yet you say you were disrespected.

To all you Igbos looking for trouble (not the sensible ones) in Lagos and other south western states. This is just the beginning. You have seen nothing. We Yorubas have been sensitized to the hatred and trust me, meetings are going on as we speak. It will not be easy for you guys in the Swest hence forth!!! Trouble makers!

How did the Eze ndiIgbo cause trouble that he was ambushed and attacked in the palace of the Deji?
It is very very uncivilized to invite a man to your place and when he honors that invitation because of the respect he has for you,you then ambush and attack him on the excuse that he disrespected you.
If there was anything the Eze did wrong at the Deji's palace,the right would have been to address it in a very civilized manner - not handling it like touts.
I was so ashamed of the Deji when I heard about this that my respect for him and for other Traditional rulers like him vanished.
Let me tell you,in Igbo land it is considered a big Taboo for you to harm your visitor.
And by the way,nobody has the monopoly of violence and mischief.
If you take laws into your hands in addressing the "Igbo trouble makers" in southwest,know that others are capable of doing that to your people in other places,or even to you.

I feel so ashamed for the Deji of Akure and the Akure youths. There actions were highly uncivilized,infact a big slap on the faces of all Yoruba Traditional rulers.
It clearly shows that there actions were borne out of envy and jealousy.
You disrespect and maltreat a man just because you're majority?? Shame!!
This can never happen in Igboland or any other reasonable place for that matter.
Well,the seed of discord has already been sown and the harvest should be expected.
Infact,this particular issue and some others that have happened in recent times have made me to start having second thoughts about this quest for Biafra.
I say to the Igbos: forget about Biafra for now;rather,go ahead and invest in any place you can lay your hands on.
Multiply and be fruitful in those places;Live wisely and in harmony with them;while still investing and developing your own Southeast states.
It is one Nigeria for now until such a time they sincerely want to discus the unity or dissolution of this Nation,then it will be on your terms.
No amount of hate or envy can stop you Igbos.

Ok

Again?? Everyday bombing...
Still watching Buhari with keen eagle eyes and fingers crossed.
If after December and Boko Haram is still active,will Buhari stop giving excuses,admit failure,apologize to Nigerians and resign?
Will he be that honorable??

The shameless animal is pained. I just told you the real story about you cursed wanderers and you still spewing trash. You all are petty traders and no one can envy a pirated cd seller. Whats there to envy in a man running after molue in traffic? Your eze was flogged yesterday in Akure and he ran away like ojuku of cursed memory. You never do wells are 5th class citizen and everyone will continue to piss on you b.astard, you are all cursed from womb and destined to be slave. Deal with it.

If you talk of slaves,there's no better example than you,your family and your community people. You have been subjected to protesting and carrying placards that the Igbos are taking over your markets and lands.
well,that's how it will continue until you guys learn how to start working hard like the industrious Igbos and stop hating.
The Hausas/Fulanis will come in from the north,the Igbos and others will come in from the South and overrun your lands. That's the grand plan. And there's nothing you lazy-hate -filled cowards can do about it,except maybe carrying placards,threatening online and touting about.
Your lands are the war booties,and you cowards will surely remain serfs in your own land.

MrMbaM:
[s][/s]

Accursed son of a village w.hore. You really love the Yorubas so much, it shows in your past post. Cursed b.astard trying to play the victim card, I hate you never do wells same way you hate us, the feelings is mutual. You mean your governors dont collect monthly allocation? Buhahaha Typical cocaine smuggler, posting there usual lies of building empire without government like they dont receive monthly allocation like other region.

Which land did you buy? We know your tricks, you pack yourself like 40 in a single room at Ajegunle, and go boast in your cursed infertile village of owing the house, no one wanna rent house for you b.astard anymore cos you always turn a single rented room to 14 bedroom flat, you are only in Sw to sell your fake drugs, spare parts and run in Lagos traffic hawking your gala and pirated cd. Shameless and worthless animals.

You can post pix of people working hard to earn an honest living all you want;you can make fun of them and mock them while you lazy about waiting for free handouts or the next hardworking guy to tax,but like I said earlier,when they buy up your lands and take over your markets,you'll only have your lazy hate-filled self to blame.
This is how you guys will keep on protesting and hating(like slaves) - yesterday it was in lagos,today Akure. Keep it up until the Igbos you so hate make you economic serfs in your own land.
Shame on you.

MrMbaM:

Your senile father is the du.nce, you wretched animal. You can go end your miserable life if you are angry cos i said the truth about the useless and worthless tribe of cannibals, no one cares.

I assure you,this hate you have for Igbos will definitely consume you - you can go ahead and bet this on your mother's grave. When the Igbos you so hate are busy working hard and building their future independently without any major help from the government people like you have ridiculed,you're all over NL spewing hate thrash about them.
Tomorrow now,you'll start whining that they've bought off your lazy father's land.
I spit on your big-for-nothing hate-filled head. Dun.ce.

MrMbaM:
Yeebhoes are cursed and born to hate everyone. They have this hatred in them that they cant hide, they are sore losers and will always be 5th class citizen of this country. A useless tribe of never do wells.

You're a big dun.ce for making such a useless comment.
The OP opened a thread airing his opinion,and instead of you to address it reasonably,you're here saying thrash about a people you can't even measure up to in any standard.
Pretentious big dun.ce.

It's obvious this divisive thread has been thrashed and buried with superior facts and argument. Anybody with average intelligence will know these groups listed by the OP are Igbo and nothing else.
Nobody here that supports the OP's argument has been able to explain exactly how these groups in question came about their Igbo surnames,Igbo culture,Igbo names for their towns,Igbo words for the names of the groups themselves.
Like someone said earlier on this thread: if it walks like a dog,barks like a dog and looks like a dog,then definitely,it's a dog.
Some might want to attempt to rewrite History all they want,but if an outsider visits these places and observes them,no amount of 21st century mischievously written book will convince him that these people are not Igbos.
Finally,I feel a group has the sole right to state where they're from; but it is only a bastard child that points his Father's compound with the left hand.

Ok,thread for conspiracy theories.

Again?? This is becoming a daily occurrence in this country,and It wasn't like this during GEJ's time. It's so obvious Buhari is no longer the man we were told he used to be. Old age (probably) has made this man lethargic,incompetent and archaic. Does it mean all his travels and the nation's money spent on them have so far not yielded any reasonable result?
Imagine,since Buhari came into power,practically no week has passed without news of the menace of Boko Haram.
For how long are Nigerians going to tolerate this?
How did we even land ourselves with this kind of disgusting government?
