OP mumu sha, or looking for argument that will take his thread to FP

How will you not remember the day we had our first and only free n fair election in Nigeria, where every Nigeria from east, west, north, south, yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, calabar, Edo, delta, igara, tiv all came 2geda as one to move the nation forward with a man( 4get d tribe e cums 4rm) who fought for true democracy till his death.

June 12 used only be observed in some SW states but deserves to be a very important national holiday

It all depends how you see it. Is June 12th to be remembered for the injustice? It's been 25 years, many people no longer care except Yorubas

Auladimeji:
Yet,you're living in a Yoruba land

So what?

Another name for the slaves of the caliphate is sophisticated slowpoke

honourhim:
.
But freedom of speech should not mean freedom to insult people anyhow

Freedom to insult anybody is freedom of speech.

Joe Yorubakwe keeps asking if Yorubas went to war, did Igbos go to war? Nigeria went to war with Biafrans


Why is it that Joe Yorubakwe does not seem to understand that Igbos and Yorubas are different people? They don't have much in common

As an Igbo man, I don't see what I can learn from a Yoruba man.

Everybody is entitled to freedom of expression and opinion. If you don't like it, go to court

front3line:
99.962% Igbos from the yeast side will die cos of this news today.

Not really. Igbos don't care much what Yorubas do in their own land.

It's Yorubas that care too much about what Igbos do in their own land. It only takes Nnamdi Kanu to wave a Biafran flag in Umuahia for a Yoruba man in Ibadan to start foaming in the mouth

resurgent2019:
If that is what you want, then igbos should by now be building the infrastructure and military edifices for a viable and secure society. What we have now is the massive outflow of human and material resources from the SE to other parts of Nigeria. You guys aren’t serious yet, and it hasn’t dawned on you that other Nigerians are disgusted by you.

This is a gratuitous advic: it is time to build the SE as Nigeria offers igbo no political incentives. Your only succor for now is the free movement and the big market that Nigeria offers.

How come it is that you hypocrites use one standard for Igbos and another for your selves?

SE is not Igbo land, Igbo land is much bigger than that. However, if Igbos are not serious about having their own country because they migrate to other parts of Nigeria then what do you say about Nigeria?
Nigerian are dying in the Sahara as they flee to Europe in droves. Nigerians are being held as slaves in Libya as they flee Nigeria. Nigerians are being murdered in South Africa.

So if you Nigerians are fleeing Nigeria in droves yet you have your country, what gives you the right to deny the Igbos their own country for doing the same thing you are doing?

When has seeking greener pastures become a reason to deny people their sovereignty?

What is this stuff about the big market Nigeria offers? Igbos don't think that small. We are thinking about the big market the world offers.

DrGoodman:
Some ppl are using this Nnanna statements to drive a wedge into Igbo and yoruba planned aliances to profit the north.

Be guided.

There is no Igbo/Yoruba alliance, there never was

fhranchez:
colonial masters did not force their way through their hosts.They used indirect coercive methods like education, religion,technology etc.we decided to let them stay thinking we can just chase them at any time.just look at it like the oga & apprentice situation

Then you should go and read the history of how Nigeria was created. It can be found online. The Nembe war, the Arochukwu war, the annexing of Lagos, the dethroning killing of Sultan Attahiru of the Sokoto caliphate, the Ekumeku war, the burning of Benin city of 1897, the dethroning of the Obong of Calabar and many more.

All these wars, killings and take over is how the British created Nigeria. Education, religion, technology only came after they had overrun the place.

The funny thing is that at the same war, killings and take over is still how Nigeria is still being kept together today.

fhranchez:
colonialism and secession are two different things my friend.

Colonialism and secession are methods of creating a new country. Secession could even be argued to be better than colonialism. Secession is the owners of the land that create their own country while colonialism is outsiders who come from nowhere to create a country for the owners of the land

front4line:
You foolish Igbos baffle me at all time.

What was in Aburi accord that was lacking in confederalism ? Pls just teen me one thing maybe I might reason the way you do.

Confederating unit of North West n East was living utopia Nigeria was built on n every loved it.

You Igbos for no reason orchestrated the first coup in Nigeria to destroy that n in the process lost all the right n privileges it offered.

Upon discovery this you now chose to insert all those right n privileges in Aburi accord to regain them after taking Nigeria through a civil war.

Tell me who will pay for the foolishness of your coup n the war ?

This is the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media account of Nigerian history.

All was not well in Nigeria before the first coup. The 1945 Jos riots, the 1953 Kano massacre, the 1964 election crises, the 1965 Census violence. The list is endless. So anyone telling you that Nigeria was a lovely place before the first coup doesn't know what they are saying.

Also, you might need to re-check your Nigerian history, Aburi was 6 months before the war began

Why isnt social media tearing other countries apart?

TMemos:
You won't believe these posts from such a man as Ochereome Nnanna, Chairman, Vanguard Editorial Board.

No wonder Vanguard is now living in the shadows.

There is nothing he said that is incredible

GoldNiagara:
Yet a dimunitive man from my area ensure the cross dresser and coward flee and causing death of 3 million people cos of your hero senseless war.

The diminutive man that was fighting so that the Caliphate can the masters of Nigeria.

That the difference between him and Ojukwu. Ojukwu was fighting to defend and liberate his people, your diminutive man was fighting to turn everyone into slaves of the caliphate

Which of the two is the hero?

GoldNiagara:
Funny enough the greatest Igbo man is a cross dresser and an accomplished coward.Now I understand why most of them are mediocre.

You him a cross dresser and a coward but but you can bet that nobody from your area will ever rally and lead his people in a military fight for independence for 3 years like he did.

If cowards and cross dresser are the type that stand up and fight for their people like Ojukwu did, may God make me one because I don't know what is more noble than to fight for freedom

Buhari still has about a year to go and there are a few more people he wants deal with before then. Feel free to add who you think is on Buhari's hit list.

Mine is:

1) Obasunjo
2)FFK
3) Nnamdi Kanu
4) Sambo Dasuki
5) Elzakzaky
6) Timi Frank
7)Ayo Fayose
Bukola Saraki
9)Senator Misau
10)Dino Melaye

What is your Buhari hit list?

kayfra:
F$ck Aburi accord. As the boss, Nigeria defends what's rightfully its own

Which was to defend the territory Lugard put together in 1914?

HiddenShadow:
It is unfortunate that while Ojukwu and his people were fighting for freedom your people were hiding under Gowon's skirt

The prayer that Awolowo taught his fellow Yorubas during the war was:-

My caliphate masters, we are too cowardly to fight for our sovereignty the way Ojukwu and Igbos do.

We pledge to be your eternal slaves if you keep Yoruba land out of the war

kayfra:
Nigeria only came to defend its territorial integrity and it won.

It's territorial integrity? Really? And they told you that war is the only to defend territorial integrity? Why didn't Nigeria keep to the Aburi agreement and there would have been no territorial intergrity to defend?

kayfra:
When eboes had an inch it led to a civil war and avoidable death of your kinsmen

But it is you Nigerians that came to the East to fight after Igbos had gone their way

Grayxme:
Only the Yoruba's seem to care then about June 12th because they alone know its importance. This is a day that symbolizes true Democracy. So I support that it should be considered as a national celebration....Kudos to Mr. President for the great honor embedded on the late MKO Abiola...He sure deserves it.

Let us hear word. Would Yorubas have remembered June 12th if MKO had been an Igbo man?

aribisala0:
Everyone talks about rotation of power between the North and the South and there seems to have been an unspoken convention until Jonathan came to power.

Now Buhari is back and is expected to to remain in power till 2023 when power returns to the south.

But what really do we mean by North and South

When we say Northern president we mean Fulani, Not Tiv, Nupe Berom ,Igala,Ebira,Kanuri or Even Kwara Yoruba
Everyone knows this

The same is equally true inthe south. We mean Yoruba .S
So rotation of presidency simply means Yoruba -Fulani-Yoruba-Fulani ad infnitum.

Everyone knows this and only a foolish man will try to overheat the polity by saying otherwise.

Those are the groups that have the experience of creating and running empires

You guys have been rotating it for 50 years and showed the whole world your cluelessness by turning Nigeria is a total mess

muykem:
He allowed emotion to overtook his reasoning like average IPOB member. He refused to do a proper analysis before leading his people to senseless war. Biafra region became a conquered territory, thank God for general Gowon declaration of "No victor No vanquished"

The senseless war you Nigerians caused. Ojukwu only fought to defend his people

The rest of you Nigerians fought to enthrone the caliphate as your masters

The greatest Igbo man who ever lived

aribisala0:
Eboes are not relevant in Nigeria. BITTER truth.


What they think is irrelevant.

The decision has beed made by aFulani man.

Remember we have two ruling houses in Nigeria : Fulani in the North and Yoruba in the South

The two ruling houses that have messed up Nigeria for the last 50 years

ba7man:
Well,we've forced our opinion on the whole nation now.

What are you going to do about it??

When the June 12th comes, me and my fellow Igbos will enjoy our holiday not remembering who MKO is.

deedeedee1:
Good. And Yoruba people must love Jonathan? Are Yoruba people still "slaves"?

Yorubas don't have to like Jonathan and they showed it with their votes. Buhari is now in charge, are things any better?
Of course the Yorubas are slaves, everybody knows this

Igbos did not vote APC in the last elections because they don't like Buhari

Igbos did not vote SDP because they never liked Abiola.
