How does Nigeria need Biafrans to survive? If that's the case why not give them a place of pride in the country. Does Biafra want to secede with all of South South? Are they not asking for there to be a referendum to truly know those who want to join them?

Prince...Talk to me, are you Igbo?

nijabazaar:
I luv u

I love you too.

oyin44:
All what you have written above..is not enough to secede Nigeria..first... can biafra seceded without the south south..certainly,no,the north and SW didn't believe in secession..why..self interests..we need each other to survival.self interests and those that had faith in the continuity of oneness and united Nigeria.

First, let me start by telling you facts that makes life in Nigeria unbearable for an average Nigerian.
1. Nigeria is the poorest country on earth.
2. Insurgency (Home of Third and fourth most deadliest terrorist organization in the world).
3. High-level of unemployment
4. Highest IDP in Africa, third in the world.
5. Higher illiteracy level
6. Higher mortality rate
7. Unstable economy
8. Poor international image.
9. No power 4000 mega watts for 200 million people. South Africa 50,000 mega watts for 40 million people.

South Africa, Swaziland, Cape Varde, and Botswana they are all African nations, they don't sell crude oil, but I challenge you to show me any positive indices Nigeria is seemingly better than them.

Cape Varde is in the middle of the Ocean, with 700,000 population, with no neighbors, no natural resources, are better than Nigeria, why?

Firgemachar:
When I do, all you will do is tuck your tail between your legs like a petrified dog and leave the thread.
At best, you will muster some incoherent rants on your way.
I don't think it is worth it.

Do you remember the epic Yoruba thread

I'm sorry for people like you, who can't face the fact. I don't make threats, I make good of my words.

Why are Nigerians more passionate about IPOB and Biafra related issues, instead of showing same level of energy and commitment to Nigerian plight?
I've watched my fellow Nigerians closely, they invest more energy plotting against IPOB and Biafra, instead of proffering solutions to issues mitigating the growth of the nation.

It's naturally expected to see citizens of any country to show ardent concern to their country first. Book Haram is ravaging the nation, killing over a 118 soldiers, people are loosing their jobs, no power ...Yet, the citizens are busy antagonising IPOB, who are tired of the status quo and need a change. Is it that Nigerians love the pain of joblessness, no power, insurgency and economic hardship?

Does it occur to many of us that by 2040, oil will sell less than $30 because, all European nations,USA and China will stop the use fossil cars? How do we generate revenue? Does it bother you?
We pay $30 per barrel to the Company that thrills oil from deep waters.

Defending Nigerian retrogression is like defending the devil. Countries like Mauritius, Cyrus, Brazil and Singapore got there independent around same time. And if you say population is the problem, what do you make of China,Brazil and USA?

I'm ashamed of you. Proffer solution(s) to the difficulties facing Nigeria, stop investing energy on others problem.

slim75d:
i support femi adeshina
we don't disclose military casualites in nigeria
but in saner climes they do

I hope you support Boko Haram in killing Nigeria soliders?
Indirectly, you're asking for a cover-up, meaning those who's incompetence led to the death of these soldiers, will continue.

SIMPLYkush:
This man is the cause of his family's problem, useless ipob fool

People like you end of up confused. A Nigerian like you, who should be more passionate about anything related to Nigeria, will turn a blind eye to Boko Haram killing over 100 soliders as well as the state of the economy, but will be more concerned about IPOB.

I'm ashamed of you. Proffer solution(s) to the difficulties facing Nigeria, stop investing energy on another man's problem.

yrex01:
even apc r responsible for ur lack of sense.

Blame the devil for selling your soul against humanity.

Lucifer66:
Federal government transferring the case to a poor state government?
Something is wrong with this country

Please get a copy of the constitution, by virtue of the law, the state is empowered, to try cases within it's jurisdiction.

OdikwaRisky:
shiit looks like it'd collapse any time soon... not hating tho


and what sort of ugly af house is that?? reminds me of a boarding school hostel

People like you never build a block till they've gone to meet their ancestors in hell.

SIMPLYkush:
Yahoo boy...
drug addict..
cos acting a low budget ipob movie can't even build u a hut talkmore of a house

Worshipper of Tinubu! Slow down from drugs.

servercodes001:
We refuse to believe
How, where and why?
Which 8million people exactly lost their jobs
This is a lie

You don't need to believe.

philfearon:
You have not said anything.
In your mind, you are more Igbo than every other Igbo person because they don't buy into your gimmicks of baseless hatred stemming from the fact that you lost.
SouthSouth zone lost too, but you are here crying more than the bereaved.

Hahahahah... "You have not said anything", I'm more Igbo than you.
You've started proving your state of origin, I don't deal with sons of fallen demon.

OgeFather:
I just realised how much I've indulged you, because you keep saying nonsense outside the scope of our conversation and I keep wasting my time replying you

Bro go and chill

No! You didn't waste your time, you invested it in Biafra threads. Please stop pretending to love your enemy.

philfearon:
Apparently, in your world anyone that does not support PDP is an APC member.
Secondly, it's obvious you don't even know what you are saying...
Fuel was never #79.
Two governors have been sentenced and imprisoned so far, with a lot of others entering plea bargaining to save face...
APC didnt plunge the country into recession.
Boko Haram didn't start in this administration... In case you have forgotten.
Do you even know anything about the Nigerian debt profile you are referring to? Because if you do, you will not even raise it as an issue.
My people made themselves 5%. They are still on that path again.

Your people may be 1%, but my people not 5%, the essence of leadership is to emancipate the people.

Today my people have topped in all parallel exams in Nigeria for the past 14 years.
They've birthed more eutprenuers that any ethnicity.
They are the hallmark of Nigerian innovation and technology.
They've provided more global scholars than any tribe, ranging from
1. Chimamada Adichie.
2. Ngozi Okonjo
3. Chinua Achebe
4. Charles Soludo
5. Aruna Oteh

You may not know, "remanded" isn't same as imprisoned. One of them if not the two are remanded, meaning they're kept incarcerated in the cause of their trials.

Buhari has led Nigeria twice into recession, if Jonathan caused the second one( Hahahah) who caused the first one? The first was in 1983.

I know you know better than Transparency International in rating global corruption. Hope you know Adeosun as well as Obla Obono? I guess forgery isn't a criminal offense, right?
Ganduje wasn't seen on tap taking bribe

Do you remember Buhari saying he didn't have money for form, but the wife alleged his ADC stole her 2.1 billion. (hahahahah)

OgeFather:
Because they know it will soon go back to the trash where it came from
#GetSense

They didn't make your nation, the poorest on earth, help Nigeria. Stop solving your enemy's problems, we don't need your help.

mimimiles93:
That wasn't protest.

What were they protestin against?

Are they not atikulooting again?

Why are they so confused?

Today they want biafruadd tommorow d want atikuloot

If you love Nigeria you won't be troubled by there daily decisions, all these ranting and venting of venom is the state of Nigeria that's affecting you, and not Biafra.

Stop looking for people to suffer with in Nigeria. Transform it, or manage it.

OgeFather:
They obviously look lazy and that's why they indulge in such nonsense
I will still be here when they will be waiting for their leaders "third coming" after he must have gone for exile who knows where this time

You must be bitter and anger for being a Nigerian, to be concerned about your enemy. I don't see Ghanaians, Malians or Americans lament on Biafra related issues.

philfearon:
You didn't have to quote the whole post.

Secondly, take a very good look at the statistics you posted, from no.s 1 - 8?

And yes, the Igbo people have a right to a political association of their choice. Which is why they should not allow themselves be used by the opposition nor the incumbent government... Politics is about making the right calculation and taking the best feasible and probable risk.

Even if you are blind, events past and present should tell you that PDP will never win anything come next year... This is very clear to those who see, but unfortunately, my people believe in fairy tales more than reality...

"PDP will never win election next year"... How? I was waiting for you to come out straight, now you've named yourself.

You want my people to vote for APC, a party that led Nigeria into recession, that made Nigeria the poorest nation on earth.

A party that launched Ogoni CleanUp, that couldn't execute 2% of that project in 3 years, paid Julius Berger N7 billion of N203 billion which is 3% in three years.
Have you forgotten that fuel was N79 as at 2015, but it's now N145.

A party that claimed to be fighting corruption, yet Nigeria has the highest rating of corruption in 2017 which is 148 by Transparency International.

Nigeria has the highest IDPs in Africa, third in World, are we in any conventional war?

The cost of debt under this administration is so high that we service our debt at the tune of 69% of budget.

What of people dying from Fulani Herdsmen, or do I need to remind you that 100 soliders were killed by Boko Haram yesterday?

You called Igbos 5%, and you suddenly want there votes, right?

Like you said... Your people choose to be blind, but my people aren't.

mimimiles93:
If they were engaged in one or two tins, they won't have time to carry flag and be disturbing the peace of the community.

They are jobless and lazy

Globally people don't protest because they lack jobs, but to air their views, you may check for the word protest.

People like you will rather discuss IPOB related issues, that face Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen, Nigeria power problems and high debt service, but you're deep necked into Igbo wants.

Presidency will soon deny this report, Sai Barber.

OgeFather:
THIS IS TOTAL NONSENSE !!!
just at this time when we are trying to unite Nigerians and restore peace and order for the up coming election to be peaceful and credible, some lazy and jobless biafran youths are trying to seek attention by causing chaos.
They should all die at once I don't care

The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.

Please use your dictionary to learn about the meaning of the word Lazy. Do those young men look hungry?

oyebanji44:
This Biafra thing is just waste of time.it can't never be actualized.the southwest didn't believe in Biafra and secession while the south south are the minority and their interests is to control their resources by themselves not secession.the north is land locked .they will suffer most.if Nigeria ceases to exist.Buhari is a war veterans ..militarily he will stop Biafra..he will not go to Aburi for peaceful resolution..nor will he waits for Biafra to start.

Why are you saying it can "never" be actualized? If you love Nigeria, you will better it, and not be concerned by Biafra agitation.

bahdpersona:
una won deny your fellow Igbos?

No! She's Igbo, just that you need to acknowledge the skull mining community of Ogun state.

tammie24:
Na IBO people work be that

Sure? At least it's better than skull mining.

A LETTER TO MY FELLOW IGBO BRETHREN


Another election period looms near, and once again the politics of sentiment and self-inflicted emotional blackmail is on the ride again.
Here i am again, as was the case in 2015, to reason with my people.
Like seriously, truth be told, what have we as a people gained from playing politics of hatred as of recent at the National Level?
Like why is it so hard for us to see politics as just another business where interest and profit alone should be the basis of our political participation?
I thought the Igbo's are highly regarded as business engines that thrives better at commerce and business anywhere? Is there anyone that does business not to make profit but to satisfy his emotional hatred and justify his sentimental stances?
In 2015, even while everything was clear, even while all the signs were still there, a lot of us still went ahead to make a big political blunder based on hatred.
A new alliance was being formed, a call was made to the whole Nigeria, every other region embraced the call except us and the South-South ( and their interest was right, justifiable and nothing less was expected.). Few saw the new horizon and decided to be part of the alliance, but were seen as either being saboteurs or being silly enough not to be sympathetic with their people and join in the struggle of creating more hatred for our supposed political oppressors.
We have supported PDP for 19 good years now at the National level, and what have we gained from it? Every Election year, same bullshit. Same political miscalculation, same mass bereavement of common interest and common sense. Same religious bullshit.
In same period, every Presidential and Vice-Presidential slot was still allotted to every other Geo-political zone, not us, not even once. One would have thought that such amount of Loyalty was at least worth a VP ticket.
But, now that the Igbo's should at least have a shot at the Presidency should the North finish the perceived eight years (8yrs) rule being allegedly denied them, we have again been shortchanged and bribed away with some stupid VP ticket.
The Southwest has ruled, the Southsouth has ruled. Therefore, if the alleged geopolitical quota system is in play, you can therefore agree with me that the Igbo's have a better shot at the 2023 elections for Presidency than any other Southern geopolitical zone.
Though it is a long shot, but sympathizers will be on our side.

Today, it's very easy for most Igbo people to berate the President, call him whatever suits their emotion at the moment, call him a fundamentalist, a religionist, Sharia advocate, the prophesied person that will Islamize Nigeria, the dullard and whatever ungodly remarks to suit our ego.
We have continued to play the victim card, politics of unjustified bias and always blaming everyone else but ourselves. We continue to hate and hate and hate, to what purpose?
What has our hatred earned for us in the past?
What has our alliance in the past earned for us?
Only a madman does same thing in the same way every time and expect to see a different result.
We had the chance to be part of a new alliance, we failed to take it but went on to lament how we were left out in National politics. It didn't end there, many of us still continuously berated, attacked, cursed and wished ill heavily on the government.
They wished the government to fail woefully, but it never occured to them that if the government fails, nothing will run smoothly.
The economic mess the previous government left that slid the nation into recession was managed and the nation is back again, even rated the best economy in Africa as at the last Forbes rating. This is not to say it was easy or that things are much better. But remember, this was most wailers and haters prayers from our side of the divide. They wanted the economy to crumble because of hatred...And for what? Because We lost!!!

Many hate the president with the air they breathe, but they forget that the same man ran with an Igbo person as his VP in 2007 ( regarded by the EU as the worst election in the world then) before deciding to form an alliance with the South-West (Pastor Tunde Bakare) and then Pastor Yemi Osinbajo, the current Vice-President of Nigeria.
Let's say the man got tired of our antics and decided to be business minded with his fourth presidential ambition. He won, and we are still playing victim.

BUHARI BETWEEN 2003 AND 2015

2003
Olusegun Obasanjo   PDP    24,456,140      61.94%

Muhammadu Buhari  ANPP 12,710,022      32.19 %

2007
Musa Yar‘adua             PDP   24,638,063      69.82 %

Muhammadu Buhari  ANPP 6,605,299        18.72 %

2011
Goodluck Jonathan    PDP     22,495,187      58.89 %

Muhammadu Buhari  CPC    12,214,853      31.98 %

2015
Muhammadu Buhari  APC     15,424,921      53.96%

Goodluck Jonathan    PDP     12,853,162      44.96 %

Of the total 73,944,312 registered voters in Nigeria as of January 2018, the North-West geo-political zone = *18,505,984.*
South-East = *8,293,093* registered voters.
South-West = *14,626,800* registered voters;
South-South = *11,101,093* registered voters.
North-Central = 10,586,965 registered voters.
North-East = 9,929,015 registered voters.

There is no single permutation of the 2019 election in which PDP will win. People can go about deceiving who they want to deceive, but the facts speaks for itself.
One thing the ruling party has going for it is that it was formed by a lot of people from different parties and walks of life. All of them are still there, except for those who whöre around, looking for where the next free bread lands. APC has never had it easy, and will never have it easy. This is something they purely understand, but unfortunately we are still to learn.
So should we hopelessly drown with a sinking ship despite many life-jackets being offered to us by the leading party?
There is rumours of Igbo president in 2023 should we support the APC, but again, the sentimentalists are at it again with their 'never trusting' misconceptions.
In the 19yrs of PDP loyalty, did we get a vp slot not to talk of a Presidential slot?

It's another election period, the calls are going round again.
Let us continue to miscalculate and hate while the rest of the nation seek out means to improve their zones and be fully politically relevant.
We are always seeking for a nonexistent Southern unity, but the SouthWest is APC through and through.
A lot of in roads has been made in the South-South, it's almost as if yet again, the government is not ready for our bouts of yelling and wailing this time around. Take a look above again, we are the zone with the least voting power, yet somehow a lot of people with their twisted minds think business will wait for us.
At least if you are going to wail about being heavily shorted, you should have solid and legitimate reasons to wail. Equity does not help the indolent. Let he who have ear hear.
We can again decide to side with losers and continue wailing for the next four years.
I have said my piece, and you are welcome to hate me. I gave out my last free f*ck in the 2011 elections!!!


Written by a concerned Igbo guy.

I don't know who you are, but I will like to educate you from stereotypical narratives in your lines.

First, Igbos are a people with their own interest. Igbos don't hate, but doesn't play friendly with their enemies.

Igbos have a right to any party they choose, look, they've been right with the treatment meted out to Benue and Zamfara.

The debt of APC are very high, including Imo state, controlled by APC.

Shame to APC and her supporters!

Mace0lane:
I enjoy watching hopeless Igbo like you wallow in your foolishness, Jonathan was never convicted by any court but you bigoted father already convicted Abacha in the court in your father backyard.

Abacha loot was returned but you are to bigoted to see the loot being recovered n returned from Ebele’s era. Subsidy scandal is glaring to all, Obanikoro returned money too, Dopeksi Falae, Oduah car scandal, Madueke never gree return that aside all the forfeiture happening everywhere in the country. Many of you Igbos need to be beaten blue black with matchet for the senselessness of your argument daily.

I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.

Nigeria/Switzerland established the fact that Abacha looted, and reached an agreement on repatriation of those funds that alone is criminal offense, with Buhari exonerating him, he was part of that government, heading PTF.

From the money shared you mentioned Obanikoro and the rest, were you informed that Buhari, got two Toyota SUV from same loot, were you informed?

Obla Obono forged his WAEC, Kemi Adeosun forged NYSC discharge letter, are they not criminal offense?
Look! don't tempt me into listing names now.

Are you not ashamed of celebrating a criminal after incarceration, Bode George, as well electing a wanted drug lord into our hallow chamber, Kashanu into representing Ogun state in the Senate.

If you want let us release crime rate per region from NBS, Drugs related offenses, just name it.

People like you will disparage the report of Transparency International, number one anti corruption global watchdog rating. Everybody people in world is looking at the administration with
as a fraud.

Remember Bill Gates remarks regarding this same administration on economic matters.

budaatum:
It's amusing how you all missed my point about @yabena getting his facts wrong and how the video actually shows that Britain is the thief here. Perhaps listen to the video and you'd get that fact.

Apologies are welcome!
