Are you looking for a trusted friend who will stand by you in good and in bad, then go and get yourself a good Igbo person because Igbos will stand by you whether good or bad.

All the reason people hate Igbos are not because of Igbo people action but in their bid to defend the person everyone hates and oppresses.

It started in 1966 January when a group of young military officers led by Igbo soldiers decided to fight for a Yoruba man; Awolowo whom the Igbo soldiers believed was unjustly jailed by the then Nigerian Government led by Tafawa Belewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe, etc.

The young Igbo officers wanted to kill all the people in power and release Awolowo from jail and make him President because they believed Awolowo was a better leader than Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akintola, Tafawa Belewa, Ahmadu Bello, etc.

Now, the person that headed this coup was Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu, a Nigerian soldier whose parents are from Okpanam in today Asaba Delta State, and born and grew up in Kaduna State.

Igbos were blames solely for carrying out an Igbo coup, but nobody can come out to testify that he or she saw when Ohanaeze Ndigbo had meeting and decided to carry out a military coup to kill non Igbos in power yet the rest of Igbo tribe paid the huge price.

Again, Igbos in Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Imo, Ebony didn't say ah, Major Nzeogwu is not a full Igbo, he is Delta Igbo, they took the whole blame and defended Nzeogwu and stood by him till death. But when it comes to crude oil talk, they will say no, they are not real Igbo, they are Delta Igbo. When Igbos are being persecuted, they will deny being Igbo and claim Delta or Rivers Igbo just to exonerate themselves but when they are in trouble or being persecuted, Igbos will all stand by them in good and in bad.

The same thing Igbos did for Goodluck Jonathan and even after they ganged up against Goodluck and removed him and kept pushing to persecute him and possibly jail him, Igbos continued to defend Goodluck and stand by him even though he is no longer holding power and even though Goodluck did nothing visible for Igbos in terms of infrastructural development.

Igbos are doing same for Atiku, taking the bullet for Atiku.

Even when Buhari was contesting and failing and people were all against Buhari, it was an Igbo lawyer, Mike Ahamba (SAN) that was defending Buhari and speaking for him and telling people to give Buhari a chance, but today the fair weather friends are now claiming relationship with Buhari. Once he leaves office now, they will all disappear into thin air as usual and Buhari will become a monster to them.

Make una continue, God is watching who is who, we can't keep being cunning and getting away with it forever, the chicken must come home to roast one day, one day, just time

Lol. Fight for the Yoruba yet failed to kill Azikiwe, the man behind the conspiracy that made Awolowo become a prisoner? Fight for the Yorubas by killing all Yoruba leaders while leaving the Ibos counterpart?

Are we supposed to forget the fact that it was the Ibos among the coup plotters that leaked the secret to Azikiwe and other Ibo leaders? Trust worthy, my ass!

Afi egbere news.

zomby:
None of them should be given anything position...Buhari should give average Nigerians the opportunity to be part of his administration...There are many competent professors, engineers, school teachers, and various managers out there.

How are we supposed to know the Nigerians who can perform well? Amaechi was a performer and needs to be retained. Aregbesola's roads and schools were something that couldn't be comprehended because they were amazing.

Only Olusola Oke is a bit unknown as regard to infrastructures but then, he's never had an opportunity
to showcase this howeverr he's well known as an outspoken lawyer and maybe I'm a bit biased about Oke but I want an Ilaje man to have a federal post and seeing how passionate Olusola Oke is, he's the right man to bring some form of development to Ilaje community. We need a seaport badly in Ondo state.

Anyway, the aforementioned two, Ameachi and Aregbesola are tried and tested.

Thank God the contractor constructed the gutters.

fairfora:
integrity my foot. Have you not heard that tinubu rolled into his compound 2 bullion vans in an open glare ahead of the recent presidential election? Google it if in doubt. He said it's his money when interviewed. In wish it was an opposition party member who did that,..he would have been in the Efcc's net by now. Just last week, okorocha went and withdrew billions of naira from imo state govt account...for his personal reasons. Gandollar is currently doing the same. I'm so disappointed at APC because they are now proven to be worse than the corrupt PDP under Jonathan. They've been deceiving us in the last 4 years. Now we can see their true colour. Buhari is the only man of integrity amongst them...though he's an ethnic and religious bigot and he's not hiding it

So? Na your Papa money he bouillon van into his compound? Some people are roaming.

gidgiddy:
Jubikating where? The Igbo masses don't give a rats a$$ who becomes Senate president

Lmao. You mean same Ibos that fought one another over the senate President seat under Obasanjo? Wonder shall Neva end at the attempt to act like you don't care. We all know you do but you won't get it. Sink that into your skull!

Lol

Ziggylady:
Gbenga Daniel,calling you a back-stabbing fair-weather personality is not an insult..

You are just being what is genetically domiciled in you and your folks.

He killed nobody unlike the OSU who killed every regional leaders except the Ibos. Azikiwe knew about the coup but fled the country without informing his supposed friend, Ahmadu Bello. What a double betrayal! OSU can never be trusted. Trust them at your own peril.

They're all mad. I would love Aregbesola to be given a ministerial appointment. Ameachi needs to be retained. Also, Olusola Oke. I can't be bothered about the rest.

BabaRamota1980:
You hit the point!
Atiku was defeated from inside ranks...

Northern Christians are bitter at PDP for continously picking a Muslim everytime Presidency is zoned to North. Even when zoned to South, they never see fit to pick a Northern Christian as VP....its always a Muslim.

Add on top of that the defector issue you pointed out. The Presidential candidate was a defector, the VP was a defector, the Director General of the Campaign was a defector. It doesnt take much to see how the contest would end. Local politics in places like Oyo, Ondo, Kano, Sokoto, Imo, that have turned people away from their governors is what gave Atiku some boost. Over 4million gap between Buhari and Atiku. Now, imagine that people of Oyo, Ondo, Kano, Sokoto, Imo did not have issues at local level and had voted in line with APC....that gap would be close to 7million.

When Wike sidelined SW and made the statement about SW looking for harvest where it did not sow, and then they picked VP from SE and began a PR that Jennifer was the most befitting for First Lady if Atiku won, I knew Ibos were positioning to hijack Atiku administration like they did GEJ and a repeat of SW marginalization was loading. It was clear to see.

In Lagos we actually circulated this possibility around and away from social media. Gbenga Daniel thought he would be made SGF but it would not go that way at all. An Atiku win would have become an instrument of reprisal against SW for its support of Buhari in 2015 against GEJ.

We have polarized politically. PDP is now accepted as a party of SS/SE and APC as a party of SW and NW. NC and NE are swing zones.

Wa sere Bobo!

Charliechrist:
Afonjas and betrayal na like 5 and 6, even the hausas r well aware of this genetic trait.

OSU and betrayal, very synonymous. It was the OSU among the coup plotters that's betrayed the group and leaked out the secret to ibo leaders such as, Azikiwe who fled the country. Azikiwe couldn't even inform his supposed friend, Ahmadu Bello about the coup. What a Double betrayal! OSU!

Debroslink:
Hey scummies,

While you are mourning your loss against Wolves, kindly go to YouTube and watch Messi's hattrick tonight most especially the 3rd goal.

Make sure it's 1080p or UHD quality.

Na Mctominay go quiet the fvcker. OGS should had better not play Matic.

Mikat:
BUNCH OF Hypocrites. You dont fund the school, no imprest goes to school head for stationeries, buildings are dilapidated . How do you want school to managed? blood sucking politicians

Exactly.

Solowande:
believe what you read. I'm frm Delta state, warri to be precise, Delta state govt operate free edu to all students in prim and sec sch.

Except the government take over the affairs of the schools, the school would always request money from the students. My mum was once the head of a government school which requires the students to pay some amount of money. This money is used in taking care of the affairs of the school such as the fees of workers who cut grasses, notebook, textbooks for the teachers, school benches and sometimes, repairing the school damaged structures. Blame should all go to the state government.

Chrismentor3:
I remember the school where I did my Nysc in Delta, the principal confided in me that the school fee are all illegal, that the govt of Delta made public schools free

That's what happens when the state government isn't concerned with the affairs of the school. The school will print out exam papers, buy textbooks and notebooks for the teachers and other miscellaneous, where are they expected to get the money?

Attention seeker and a pretender. Trust what she says at your own peril. Her behaviour was well known in the house.

Yeah mourinho was brilliant wasn't he? Mourinho was just gliding down the centre of the pitch,didn't want to praise or notice him tho . I was just focused on neves,but you'd expect mourinho to be more calm on the ball,he's got vast experience in the game,he's faced Spanish midfield in their prime so nothing really would rattle him,its just that since neves is still young and has a good understanding of the role,I think he'd improve on his faults...carrick could help him tho in some aspects of his positioning like cutting off passing lanes and fining that vertical splitting passes..

Moutinho was good yesterday. You're quite right about Moutinho having more experience than Ruben. Also, this is Rubens first season of playing in a top league hence, he's still getting used to all these.

However, he won't come cheap. Mendez control the club and was the one who forked out the huge money used in procuring Ruben and for the price Wolves would demand, I would be expecting a finished product which Ruben isn't.

Personally, I would like Van De beek because apart from the fact that he tick all the boxes as a no 6 for me, I doubt he would be as expensive as Ruben. He's also more mobile and agile than Ruben but I need to add that he's been mostly deployed as a no 8 or 10 for Ajax this season all because the Ajax coach wants him near the goal post because of his goal scoring skills and throughballs. He has even stopped taking freekicks because the coach wants him in the box when one is being taken. He's got great heading skill and fantastic movement. He's at his best as a no 6 and I feel he's being underutilized playing as a no 10 or 8. In fact, it was the no 6 position that made him known.

Any of Ruben or Beek is okay by me but I'm worried about Wolves fleecing us.

dubylhover:
Kagawa judging by wolves performances this season and yesterday own,what's your opinion about getting Ruben neves to replace matic...he's good enough for me

He's good but I'm still a bit sceptical about him.

First, Moutinho has been the difference maker for the Wolves. No doubt Moutinho has been enjoying playing off another playmaker, that is Ruben, in the midfield but I would love to see Ruben take up the usual dominant role he always assumed for the Wolves while they were in the championship. He's even been terrible without Moutinho this season.

Secondly I have noticed Neves always seem to falter and withdrawn into his shell whenever he's faced with high pressing opposition such as Liverpool, Bournemouth, Watford, Huddersfield, Mancity. Only Moutinho has come out of this games unscathed and looked his dominant self regardless of the opponent whereas Ruben seems to look ruffled and even had problem stringing passes together.

Thirdly, his aerial duel is simply nonexistent. I think that was one of the reason Klopp went in for Fabinho even when he could have utilised Wijnaldum in the no 6 role and his hunch was confirmed when Wijnaldum looked helpless against several aerial balls played by one small team in the champion league. Liverpool even lost the match by high margin, the match ended in 3-0 loss. I think Klopp stopped playing Wijnaldum in the role since then. What I'm saying is I would prefer a midfielder who is great in the air to help us shield our defence from lot of aerial threats.

Apart from these, he's been good and has done well in building up the play from the back and recycling lot of turn over. And when he isn't under pressure, his passes have been good, especially his long passes. He's still quite young and there are rooms to mprove.

ChristianNorth:
Where is this thing from?

Osu is a tradition created to safeguard weak families just like Hebrews created cities of refugee.

Who told you women in Igbo land don't get inheritance from their families? One afonja under a brown roof will be assuming nonsense.

The only thing is that women cannot inherit their family name except that of her husband.

Lol at the attempt to compare yourself with the Jews even when there's nothing similar between the two.

Anyway, who cares. All I know is Ibo are the OSU, whether you like it or not.

ChristianNorth:
Are you sure you can comprehend? There are couples of families in the conservative north with the children being either moslems and christians. It is usually a product of love jihad gone wrong and like I clearly stated, an Hausa/Yoruba moslem man will never freely give out his daughter to a christian.





What do they have all in common, they married a christian woman. Why not show me any of them, a christian marrying a moslem lady.


Igbos ladies marry moslems, travel and see things.

It is just a pity you guys don't understand what Osu means. Hebrews have their Cities of Refuge and whoever make it alive to that city will be spared of any sin he commits.

Our own city of refuge is a shrine. If you commit a crime and dedicate yourself to a shrine, you are an Osu and your descendant.

You become consecrated to the gods and whoever finds your trouble, troubles the gods, so people generally afford those people to avoid incurring the wrath of the gods.

You try to avoid an osu as much as possible unless you want to risk the gods' visit.

This is the essence behind the Osu tradition. It is still better than Ababoku tradition of yorubas.

Liar. The Hebrews who fled to the land of refuge are allowed to return after the priest death. They are not confined to permanent segregation like Ibo does to the OSU. There is nothing similar to the nonsense you wrote.

Another fact is the Hebrew women were always given
a form of inheritancee in the family unlike the Ibos. Lol

Yeye somebodi.

I just like this Ameachi guy. He should be the one handling the several ministerial Jobs that Fashola is handling.

Johnnyessence:
you don't even know how evil this man entails , now the so called white elephant projects he collected loans for in Osun state have been stopped. The road from gbongan to Akoda road have been stopped since last year. Why can't you post the road now as you have been doing that before. The road from osogbo to ilaodo too have been stopped , why can't you be posting pictures of that now. He borrowed billions of naira from Islamic bank, and up till today, the road project have not been constructed. Now this same clueless governor ruined the state into debt. It will take 3 decades to owode the debt. Meaning, it will take 2-3 governors to pay the debt he incured for the state. Aregbesola is a bad example for governance. So so pathetic . Why can't you be posting Ajimobi too, he's a loser now Abi.

This OSU won't face his region. Always concerned about others. You want to see Aregbesola roads? Here are the

That's the problem with banking on counter attacking style because the team would always face hard task whenever the team square up with opposition that leave the ball to the team and sit back. This has been France's problem after the world cup. We both have one thing in common which is lack of a playmaker in our counter attack set-up. Oops, we both have Pogba in the team

Anyway, that's more reason why we need a playmaker in the midfield. This playmaker would always know the right move to take in order to break the opposition's defensive set-up and create space for their team mates either through his touches, movement or passes which none of our players have. We need at least one, if not two of these players.

We need to tap up Ceballos from Madrid. They hardly play him anyway although that hasn't affected his chances of getting into the Spanish team lineup as well as his performance, which has been fantastic for the Spanish national team but eventually, he would want a club he could play consistently. Ceballos is also defensively solid.

Get in Ceballos, Van De beek, Zagodou/De ligt and Sancho and our season is made.

When a fraud has got nothing else to say to cover up his lies. Next time look whom you're having discourse with before you come up with your stupid lies. I don't tolerate liars. He was dribbling by muscling indeed.

Leyqute:
I don’t know what to tell you. I started watching the video again but stopped after about a minute or two because I couldn’t bear another minute Of shakushaku dancing.

His dribbles aren’t always necessary and most times to get to rid of the opponent he had to use his strength. There’s usually a little touch here or there and if it’s a senior league, there are many instances he won’t get away with it. That’s what I’m tryna tell you.

He’s not even a clever player and he complicates simple stuff oftentimes.

If you think he’s good enough, sign him to your own football club. Shikena.

You're changing mouth. You stated that his dribbling was due to his strength and I asked you to pinpoint the exact time he dribbled an opponent while using his strength but you failed to do so except to keep ranting about something else. See how foolish you look. In a bid to put him down, you cooked up false narration and that shows you're a fraud. As simple as ABC.

Like I said earlier, he was deployed on the wing eventhouh he's a midfielder and due to one reason or another, he felt he should operate as a winger who constantly takes on opponent like he opined in his interview but before the end of the season, he dropped such idea and combined very well with his team mates which was seen clearly in the clip.

Anyway, what I'm impressed with is his uncanny ability to create space and time for himself within seconds of being under pressure. I won't even say he does this by dribbling or trickery because most of the time, it was just his touch and control that he used to evade the opponent. I also like his movement both on the ball and off the ball.

Another thing I love is he always seem to provide options for his teammates, that is, he always want the ball and never cower behind others. I also love the fact that he's always the first to get to any loose ball on the pitch. I watched another clip of his and I saw him intercept plenty passes from the opponent. There are many attributes I love in that clip. However, I would have loved to see more passes from him to gauge his throughball and vertical passes but then, he was deployed on the wing most of the time in the clip.

Even the redcafe community who loves to put down foreign players but only have praises for their own think kehinde was good.

Leyqute:
Alright.

You are bailing out after coming up with untruthful narration. Show me the exact point in the video his dribbling was based on strength like you alluded?

DeadPresidents:
Stop being deliberately obtuse.

I saw Mason play against Southampton and Liverpool and while he's not exactly a pace merchant like Rashford, he's far from slow. You forget that he's not running at full pace due to his history with injuries right?

State where I said he was slow? Abi body dey scratch you?

Leyqute:
You may have your reason for promoting him but what I see is lots of unnecessary dribbles and complicated decisions. Only towards the end of the clip- the last 30 secs or so- did he make rightly-timed simple decisions, albeit with a good dose of flicks and quick-feet movements.

He completed some of his dribbles by successfully outmuscling his opponents. In a senior league, that won’t be the case.

Like I said he’s another Willian waiting to happen or at best, a Hazard; although YouTube clips are rarely enough to go by.

None of his dribbling had anything to do with outmuscling like you keep saying. You obviously didn't watch the video clip. Why don't you show me where he dribbled by outmuscling the opponent? The only time I saw him apply a bit of strength was when he was winning the ball. He's a small player sef. Abeg, go watch the clip and tell me the particular point his dribbling was based on his strength.

The only area I would thumb him down would have to do with his tendency to hold on too long on the ball at times but I think it has to do with the fact that he was often deployed on the wing and as such, he felt he should operate as a true winger. If he was in the midfield, I would judge him better. In one of his interviews, he said the midfield is his best role but now that he's been deployed on the wing, people should be ready to see more flashes/silkiness from him. Btw, he already gave up such idea and was combining with his team mates towards the end of that season. That's what we call learning.

Anyway, I have watched Gomes' clip and I wasn't as impressed with his tekkers as Kehinde. No doubt Gomes' is also technical.

DeadPresidents:
Mason Greenwood England's u-13 fastest sprinter holder is not pacy? Bro, are you trolling?

I would only take you serious after you have watched him play.

hush15:
but think it, after removing, then this shocking confession when it should be a nail on the coffin burying saraki.

There is no logical reason on earth why Saraki would support robbery, irrespective of what people think about him. Even if they are boys who knows him, they acted on their own will. Afterall, where do we want to place MC who blatantly involves himself in heinous crimes to the extent he was almost killed at one point in time but instead got security protection. If any happens, will they go and arrest tinubu for his actions

See stupid propaganda. MC oluomo was campaigning at a rally when he was stabbed. He wasn't involved in any heinous crime. Till today, no one has seen MC oluomo killing anyone but because he's a nurtw chairman and doesn't take nonsense, people assume he's a thug.
