Bragalane: Cursed bastard like the lunatic I quoted from another page will not see his cursed kinsmen insulting an entire tribe but when you pay them in their own coin their father will be running naked up n down on NL.
A foolish tribe that segregate a section of it own as OSU just to denigrate ridicule n de humanize them is claiming another tribe not as foolish as it is filled with heart of hate. I swear each n every member of your tribe deserve to be beaten to death if any of your kinsmen ever dare refer anyone as hateful or bigots.
A foolish tribe that claims Hausa Fulani Kanuri Yoruba Efik Ikwerre Ijaw Gabonese South Africans Malaysians Singaporeans Taiwanese Cambodian Indians Japanese Chinese British French Arabs n many other all hate it for nothing instead of looking inward to purge itself of the endemic bigotry, chronic hate n acute foolishness their mothers nurtured them with from the womb for that matter O.
Irony of life: since you are talking about love & hate, prove to the world, examples, all those groups and countries you mentioned have shown their love for the Yoruba tribe of Africa.
Secondly, In all those countries you mentioned, (a). Are Igbos not thriving more than the Yorubas dwelling there even though they engage themselves (including Yorubas) in illicit deals?. (b). Are imports of goods by Igbos from those countries not part of major taxes that are developing Lagos State? And lastly, what are the Yoruba people short/long term strategic objectives in dealing with Igbo's hateful nature particularly towards the Yorubas?.
johnmartus: Igbo they can pretend to be anything on internet. They will be Hausa, fulani, Yoruba, Edo whenever they want to make their jocular remarks.
I'm not surprised that is how they always call my beautiful Edo woman igbo even she will tell them that she is not igbo they will say she is lying. These people they are something else.
Do you guys really think Igbo people just wake up & start claiming others. It doesn't happen that way at all. You guys must also understand, Igbos travel around more than any other group in Nigeria. When Igbos meet there kind in other places outside the SE, first thing, is the aura reading follows by inquisitiveness and lastly history of the people. Although, people would prefer to be left alone as they are, but the connection must be made
As a Nigerian, I will take our African South Sudanese Queens before most of our real ugly girls. If you guys really understand elegance + beauty, South Sudanese girls have it, and in time most Africans will come to find out. Runtown is a handsome dude who understands beauty + elegance and some other white guys who cherish these exotic South Sudanese Chicks.
jneutron4000: Keep quiet, war one on one you no fit defeat Yoruba, which brain do you have. That nonsense you build and you called Armored tank is what is making you boost . You are surviving in other regions accross Nigeria because you can not grow the economy of your region. You think you are doing others favour by going to do your spare part businesses in their region?? Take your so called investment back to Igbo land and let see if you can survive. Despite the facts that they have killed you in the North for numerous occasions YET you keep running to the North to do business in order to survive, you are not bragging. I challenge take all your businesses especially from Yorubaland back to Igboland if you willing not be miserable.
Fool, your forebears and elites can never ever allow separation from the Igbos in the core. Igbos continue to sacrifice themselves up till to the moment for such an outcome, but your elite/political leaders stand iron clad firm with the North, not to see that happening.
Fool, don't you know, by just building a river port in Onitsha, deep sea port in any of SS ports & a fully functional International airport in the East, the combined GDP of all SW economies will be off by good 50% not talking of when Igbos fully achieve separation from you Yorubas.
Fool, are you not in Nigeria and see how Igbos are sacrificing themselves to separate from Nigeria, thus from the Yorubas. What else can they do or your people do to make that a reality??..
There's no dount in my mind, history, time tested challenges faced by the Igbos and continue to face those challenges, their unbelievable economic turnaround facing those challenges that you Yorubas can survive those challenges.
Igbos vs Yorubas on one on one, it will be a walk over for the Igbos. My Yoruba brother, this is not chest beating, I'm almost 70 and well educated.
iwaeda: British Member of Parliament, Tom Tugendhat, while proposing sanctions on Nigerian Government officials complicit in violating the rights of #EndSARS protesters, said Gowon looted half of Nigeria’s treasury when he was ousted from office in a coup and fled for the United Kingdom.
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKNOV 26, 2020
There is outrage from Nigerians on Twitter after Akinwumi Adesina, President of the Africa Development Bank, sprung to the defence of former military Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, on looting allegations levelled against him.
British Member of Parliament, Tom Tugendhat, while proposing sanctions on Nigerian Government officials complicit in violating the rights of #EndSARS protesters, said Gowon looted half of Nigeria’s treasury when he was ousted from office in a coup and fled for the United Kingdom.
Akinwumi Adesina The revelation by Tugendhat generated interest among many young Nigerians, who felt the information was deliberately omitted from Nigeria’s history textbooks to potray Gowon as a hero.
Gowon oversaw Nigeria’s civil war, which lasted from 1967 to 1970 where more than three million people died.
Adesina in Gowon’s defence said he was a man of integrity and impeccable character.
His tweet did not, however, go well with many Nigerians, who described his decision to defend the former military leader while choosing to stay silent on the killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters in Lekki as hypocritical.
Jackson Ude urged Adesina to allow Gowon defend himself or sue if he feels he had been defamed.
Obademi Micheal expressed his disappointment in Adesina, saying, “Youths were murdered, you said nothing. Thank you for revealing what you stand for. Definitely not a true Nigeria. As to many that thought you were a good example. Now we know what you truly stand for.”
For those Igbos seeking brotherly relationship with the Yorubas, this global Yoruba elite, have just described Gowan as a man of integrity and impeccable character. Who is in the best position to know about Gowan's character if I may ask?. Is it the British(whom their relationship with Nigeria is that of everlasting exploitation regardless of the human cost) propped him up to play the role he played in Nigeria unfolding history or the Yorubas whom their relationship with Nigeria is primarily base on tribal permutations with the Igbos as their primary target ( until recently, as they have beginning to understand what that hate means as Hausa Fulani are hail bent/total determination to emansculate everything from the middle belt down to the Atlantic)
To me,(..& I apologises in advance if I'm being judgemental),Gowan's integrity and impeccable characteristics (as I also sense it from his aura) must also follow with a footnote,....he supervised the genocide of millions of human beings for nothing. His integrity & impeccable blinded him on the other side of the coin( Hausa Fulani agenda then & now) After war and genocide, the objectives & reasons for such human carnage will be enthroned....... Rwanda comes to mind, In Russia, tens of millions lost their lives in 1917 revolution and what comes out of that... science, technology and industrialization. The examples are numerous. Today, Nigeria is the world capital of poverty, the world highiest infant mortality, world highiest drug abuse, out of school children etc.... still trying to see where this integrity and impeccability fits in.
I don't think we've heard the last on Gowon from the British side ( those who know this character more than any... created his historical role in Nigeria) and another Yoruba elite (not even Hausa Fulani) who will come to his defense.
AlexBells: I'm Igbo, I feel and see what you feel, I'm just telling them that all the policies had given us a new push, but it too late even if they revert to regional government now, Igbos had infiltrated all the regions again but if they installed a regional government after the war, it could have been harder for we Igbos given that, we could have found it hard to rebuild the economy with 20 pounds for every one with a bank account but instead Igbos withdrew the 20 pounds used it to for transport fair to other regions, I dont think you exactly need to insult me if you understood me
Oh I'm sorry bro, I thought is one of those hateful ones.
AlexBells: But now that I'm Igbo and it is already too late, I will tell the truth...The truth is that Nigeria fought an aimless war but failed to grab the spoil of war.
What Nigeria could have done after the war was to use this present 6 geopolitical zone but revert to regional government, that way Igbos could have found it hard to really rebuild Igbo land and they could have been crushed never to rise again.
The Federal government however retained the central government giving Igbos a chance to thrive in other locations now with tremendous Energy, Igboland is being rebuilt with revenue where about 50% comes from outside the region.
As far as central government exist, Igbos can't be crushed, were you really expecting that Ironsi, Azikiwe and Ojukwu envisaged that the Igbos will stay in power forever when they were enthroning central government, No, but they did understand that a central government will more likely protect us whether we are in power or not.
Let me educate you fool!.
Since after the civil war, worst than what you envisioned on the Igbos have taken place actually.
The Igbos have being under the crushing blow of successive federal government for decades since after the war, but have survived nevertheless. Their territories have being reduced & joined with Benue, Kogi and Rivers States, no federal government's infrastructural projects in the region, no good roads. Endless killings and destruction of properties from Hausa/Fulani, higher educational pursuit, same story, no international airport/sea port for a group known to be the most traveled in Africa, in politics, the worst and etc. So what other crushing earth scotching evil policies haven't the Igbos been through other than complete annihilation, and yet they still thrives. Just look at the recent modern gauge rail projects going on. Igbos, as a result of all these evilness from their country men/women are now all over the country (even in Maidugiuri) and the world at large ( Igbos hold community meetings in about 80 countries or more).
No wonder they are #1 in FX inflows into the Nigerian economy of which the same evil governments against them (who forced this nature of migration against them) are seeking ways to harvest this FX inflows. No wonder almost every week on Nairaland forums, "Igbo Amaka" pops up...the recent one; The Nigerians players in US NBA( 99%Igbos). No wonder they dominate in real estates in Lagos, Abuja & etc. I can go on and on......
Coronavirus-debt trap/mumu unbankable- tribal/regional executed projects loans from China have kicked in.
China Communist state enterprises who facilitate most of this infrastructural projects loans through their export import banks are scaling back on these loans to African countries because some of these loans (if there are no resolution soon among imf, sovereign wealth funds, privately held loans etc as to how they can collectively approach the risk of default from these African countries, Africa recent infrastructural developmental strides are toast) may be heading for a default, regardless if your loan load to your GDP is still 50% below the threshold ( Nigeria comes to mind here).
Bankable rail lines in Nigeria from the get go with these opportune infrastructural loans from China should have included firstly, lines from Lagos-Benin-Onitsha axis, Lagos to Kano, Lagos to Ibadan, Lagos to Abuja and Lagos to Portharcourt and then others follows
Now tribal politics targeting Igbos, in this instance, just like the rest of Nigeria history will firstly take tolls on the Igbos & on the rest of Nigeria as we continue to move forward...l mean backwards.
Anambra that majority of it citizens are scattered all over Nigeria hustling??
Dear Nigerians... You guys need to travel and stop believing in igbo propaganda!
Anambra is a very big shithole.
Nothing is working in that state!!
The only two city in Anambra that is trying in terms of Bussiness is onitsha and Nnewi!
Gombe state is more developed than Anambra state.
Go to Nnobi, okwuzu, nteje, ugwuoba, abagana and see people living in mud houses.
No good roads, no lights nothing is working in that part of the world.
They will just get few pictures of their GRA in fegge, 3_3 and some part of Akwa and be posting on Nairaland.
Kano is more economical and developed than the entire Eastern States put together
Anambra State & the wider Igbo nation are on a runner away economic growth and progress before your lot and others conspired/decided through political, economic etc means to stifled their match, eg, giving undue advantage to Dangote and things of that nature. The North in trying to destroy Igbos, inevitably have destroy Nigeria beyond repair. Igbos and others facing marginalisation, injustice etc migrated to everywhere, some dying in the desert and sea, face deaths for drugs etc. Today you satans that chased them away in the first place are even marvelled on the amount of diasporan fx inflows into the Nigerian economy and it effects & are seeking ways to harvest them. So, rethink again about the future of Onitsha one more time. Onitsha+Nnewi+the river port+ cargo airport+ the strength of one of the greatest diasporan population in this world+ the advantages of the speed of technology(fin tech comes to mind. The North, Hausa Fulani will lose control and manipulation of financial flows to this technology).
Arrewa you don't stand a chance. #end Sars movement and the road towards 2023 will finally wake you guys up there up for sure.
IkwerrePikin: As an Ikwerre man, i have so much joy that our son Gov. Wike stood his ground and kept politics aside to affirm the unique identity of the Ikwerre ethnicity.
Ogbakor Ikwerre organization was established before Ohaneze Indigbo. So we already had our unique organization even before the igbos.
Even a child in Ikwerre land will rebuke you if you ever call him/her igbo. (Those in Rivers state can testify)
Don’t mind these IPOB brainwashed igbos, they keep lying to them but i hope they will be wise this time and know that Igbos are only migrants in Rivers state.
Oba of Benin Visit River state, talks about Ikwerre people.
Iwhuruohna (Ikwerre) people have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13 th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below.
Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written historical records delivered by various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọ hna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data: Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka. While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour of the people. The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre).
Ikwerepikin, you Ikwerre people will always remain foolish, and belittled in the eyes of the main land Igbos, to the Yorubas (even though, they are sheering you on the surface because of their own beef with the Igbos, but deep down laughing at your foolishness), to the Hausa/Fulani (because you present a political assert to them to deal with the Igbos & then to you Ikwerres when a time comes for your ass to demand resource control or oppose the water bill that will seek to take control of your coastal rivers/Sea lanes and vested them to the control of Hausa/fulani), to the rest of the country, mankind and God if you Ikwerres refuse to convincingly prove to Igbos and the rest of mankind (1), a remminant, a trace of your proto language and reference them, even a residual of it and evolve it out, or resuscitate it.( the truth is that, there is no proto Ikwerre language, and no war of conquest or imposition.) (2) what deities do Ikwerre people worship (3) This is the most important question here because, it goes to the very essence of your being. How did the Igbo ward "Ikwerre" derived to define a group that supposedly have their root from Benin with no archeological evidence whats so ever to buttress that assertion. Igbos naturally on their part have Good given right to tell the world the overall history of their people, Ikwerre, Ika, Anioma etc without necessary associating with those groups politically, socially, culturally and etc & in some circumstances regard anyone of them as enemy just because they treat Igbos as enemy as well period.
The south east have nothing! I mean nothing without the food from the north.
Beans we bring you beans from the north!
Rice we bring you rice from the north forget that ebonyi audio rice that can't even feed a local government.
Tomatoes na we dey give una!
Goat meat... Do you know how many trailers of goat dey enter east per day?
Cow... Na we dey give una!
I just pray this country divide.
The east will surely be at receiving end!
You have no access to the sea!
You have no fertile land for Agriculture!
Erosion is ravaging the remaining land you have!
All you guys do is to cheast beat! And make mouth!
My Generation will teach the East how to respect the north!
Just pray we divide this country sooner... Cos it's not gonna funny in future!
I am a future governor and a future king maker!
I just pray we divide soon Sha... Cos if we don't.
It's going to be funny! Our fathers failed the north!
My Generation will never fail the north!
We shall make the north Great again
Son, you dey make mouth oo.. this is chest beating oo..
Do you realize how many millions of beautiful souls SE have sacrificed in order to extricate themselves from you Northerners, and will continue to the end. Oh, you think the SE haven't factored in the agricultural angle before these sacrifices??..
LegendHero: A former member of the House of Representatives and aspirant for the position of the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ibrahim Baba, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari, urging him to shift the operational base of Nigerian seaports from Lagos to Port Harcourt.
The former lawmaker, in a letter dated October 22, also copied the offices of the Vice President and the minister of transportation.
He based his reason on the wanton destruction of properties recently by hoodlums which led to the burning of the Nigerian Ports Authority office in Lagos.
“Already, there are two major seaports in Rivers State – the Rivers ports and the Onne port – that can successfully execute all the international shipping businesses that have been going on in Lagos,” said Mr Baba.
“And may I also advise that similar ports in Calabar, Cross Rivers State and elsewhere be enhanced, and completion works on the Baro port in Niger State should be expedited so that the country can have various alternative means of facilitating local and international trade. This will also help free the nation from possible threats and blackmails by gangsters who could destroy or hijack a particular port in order to sabotage the nation’s economy.”
PREMIUM TIMES reported how hoodlums, following the shooting of unarmed protesters at the Lekki Tollgate on Wednesday, set ablaze the NPA building, among other government properties, in Lagos.
The shooting at the Lekki Tollgate also led to an escalation of violence with reported attacks on private properties and businesses.
Prominent amongst properties destroyed by the hoodlums were the BRT station with buses, TV Continental (TVC), Adekunle police station, Herbert Macaulay Yaba and Lagos City Mall amongst others.
Asides Lagos, properties were also looted and destroyed in Ondo, Jos, Kano and Abuja.
nwekeugochukwu: IgbereTV reports that a Russian woman joined Lagos protesters for the #EndSARS protest and she took to Twitter to explain why she chose to participate.
Fari Elysian posed with Uti Nwachukwu, Peter Okoye, Nedu, Teddy A, and MC Lively at the protest.
cbrezy: Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has stirred up a debate on Twitter after sharing her opinion that the Igbo apprenticeship system have contributed to why many people from other tribes resent Igbos.
It is given that the age long Igbo apprenticeship system has produced a lot of multimillionaires of Igbo extraction to the wonder of many from other tribes.
The Igbo apprenticeship system allows a businessman take a young person to learn about his business and eventually get settled (given start-up capital) after an agreed period of time, which usually lasts between 5 to 7 years. During the service period, the younger person (servant) serves the businessman (master) while learning the business.
The Igbos have used the system to build themselves and relatives into renowned business men and women even where apprentices have little, or no formal education.
A Twitter user had said: “The Igbo’s apprenticeship program is the only ‘MBA’ class in the world that teaches the real intricacies of running a business, the practical application of SWOT and PESTEL analysis. And when you graduate, they’ll give you seed capital to start the business. A system that works.” In replying the tweet, Aisha Yesufu pointed out that “The Igbo apprenticeship is an amazing system and the reason Igbos are great in business.”
However, she went on to say that “Everything has it’s advantage and disadvantage and that same system has also portrayed Igbos as clannish people who only employ their own people and never assimilate”
Her tweets opened up a debate as she went on to state that the apprenticeship system have contributed to Igbos been resented the same way Jews are resented.
She went on; “These are my opinions and thoughts over the years and I might be completely wrong but this is how I see it.
“There is a need to take a deliberate look at the Igbo apprenticeship system & begin to look at ways of inclusion. It can start with 5% inclusion of others. When you always go to your village to bring those that will work for you how do you expect the people where you are to feel?
“Just like the Jews, Igbos are resented & I have always wondered why? Is it because they are successful and can achieve anything from nothing? Is it the resilience? I concluded it is because it seems no matter how long they stay with you or you with them you are never one in biz
“A situation where as a business person you only employ your people via the apprenticeship model & no matter how long you stay in a place you never employ the indigenes there except to load and off load. there will be resentment. More if it is not one off experience but the norm
“The Jews too have that trait. Family businesses. Helping each other grow in business and capacity to gang up(if na one naira na one naira) on business issues are common traits shared by both Igbos and Jews. The others feel like outsiders not allowed to share in the goodness
“Systems are to be looked at and upgraded from time to time. It is also important to look at how things are perceived by others. You don’t have to change but just know this is how this action is seen by others
“In all the riots I witnessed as a child, I always say it is more economical than religion. Host community usually think it is the others that kept them impoverished. They feel those monies would have been theirs if these people weren’t there. People don’t blame their lazy selves.
Aisha Yesufu, how dare you delve into a subject that can be seen/analyse from a national anthropological, socio-economical-political angle?. There is a motive(a dark one as always towards the children of light).
My point, is not that the subject can't be analyse on its own merit or demerit, but at this critical/shaky time in this country, such analysis must be done from the national scope. Nigeria is at crossroads now, therefore, your analysis must cross reference other social cultural traits in the country, like the Fulani Rugga system, the Yoruba media dominance and etc & collectively analyse their merits or demerits towards establishing a progressive social cultural order in the country, and not a situation where one cultural trait is ruthlessly killing off Nigerians, while another see advantages in being biased, and you cleverly use your analysis of pros & cons of that one 'focus' cultural trait to express Your Own biases.
seunmsg: Another Igbo writer attacking the Vice President unnecessarily. If you want to attack Garba Shehu, do it with your chest and leave the Vice President out of your misery.
Igbos will continue to bear the torch of truth as they see it...... until you drop. Write your own counter narrative. Contribute to the holy debate instead of silently contributing to the "Silent holy war".
Arrewa: shut up... It will take the south east 20yrs to catch up with the north...
Keep deceiving each other with media propaganda
Arrewa, do you really understand anything?
Do you guys up there reason critically?.
Northern backwardness (in every aspect) is at the hearth of why other regions are trying to extricate themselves from that very backwardness.
Is this the same backwardness the Easterners are sacrificing their lives to exit that you are now saying they have 20 to 30 years to catch up to?.
...by the way, is it not natural for any population group within a given environment, advancing/progressing faster than other surrounding population groups not wanting to close off their borders?. From this logical point of view, would it not be a thing of pride to declare an Arrewa republic while other backward surrounding groups must fight to keep & force you to stay in the union?.
Southern diasporan population alone generate close to 30 billion dollars yearly inflows into Nigeria economy (You can guess what % Igbo share in it)..... talking about 20 years to catch up with the North.
Please stop posting those pictures of light skinned Fulani women/culture, the world know you northerners are 99% Southern Sudanese black complexioned & collections of infrastructure developments pics built up with stolen southern resources.
SilverNorGold: Buhari is working, haters are crying.
This is one of the people dragging Nigeria backwards with their tribalism.
But I trust President Buhari. He'll never allow himself to be distracted by haters, psychopaths, chauvinists and enemies of Nigeria.
He's like a moving train, unstoppable. He'll never look back until he takes Nigeria to the promised land.
God bless Nigeria...
SEE HATERS BELOW...
To the haters above, Silver and Gold I do not have, but what I do have I will give you.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, receive sense!
Bro, if you really know how to apply critical reasoning+analytical skills here, you can easily see that the strategic policy objective outcomes here can only supper empower one ethnic group against the rest. It will expose the country more to the consequences of Chinese debt trap,(if where that loan is sourced from+the loan may not have bankable value, as if it was executed on other faster 'return on investment projects'). It will definitely increases the acts of terrorism/illicit small arms inflow into the country. One can argue if it's an enabler or disruptor to the agendas of Africa continental free trade area, because of it's strategic objective outcomes. Fulani elites (Fulani culture symbolises African beauty in some respect) must understand that the Continent which Allah have used in given them Beauty+Glory, they are working tirelessly in crafting out policies, programs, ideologies etc that are inimical to her transformation.
We are talking about advanced/modern communism that will solve the Nigerian problem.
This nation has lots to offer,but corruption and negative traditions and culture have deprived millions of Nigeria of their potentials.
Imagine its impossible for Naija to get 24/7 electricity despite all the huge investment by the govt.
Communist are haters of corruption and corruption is the cause of the Nigerian problem.
Modified Communism based on respect for human rights.
Fact:, Communist Chinese government have pulled 800 million people out of poverty in the last 30 years or so....... but it's communism with Chinese Characteristics and it worked for them.
Now, what's Nigerian characteristics, as you might ask?. The Nigeria factor comes to mind. The Fulani Jihadists in the government will use it as purposeful vehicle to advance Islam and conquer /control other tribes for a thousand years.
My own solution. Straighten the country's dysfunctionality first (Constitutional changes/structural reframing). Lay more emphasis on Africa agenda 2063 & Africa continental free trade area. Africa must find a way to present a United front in this complicated world at this stage. If Africa decide that the Chinese model should be adopted, it must be decided from the AU level or the black race will disappear. If you know, you know.
sirjamesjnr: You want separation but you don't want your leaders to forget the Niger Delta oil free money. Define what you want and see the wonders
Yoruba logic...Tufiakwa!
Please, educate me more........I never knew Igbos are sacrificing their lives for Niger Delta oil, in other words, Igbos are sacrificing their lives for their freedom in Nigeria only to deny others theirs.
sirjamesjnr: . Start by leaving their land and operate only in South East. Let your representative in government resign then all Nigerian will take you serious.
See this one ke.
Igbos have sacrificed their lives in millions and continue to do so for 100% separation/leave your land, and any environment that contain both Igbos/Yorubas ( Nigeria). True or False?., .. but your forbearers sacrificed some of their own lives to force them back, and now, you want their Representatives in the government to resign, and Igbos leave your region and operate only in the East. So you are scared of 100% separation?. Fools every where.
solmus: You and your other blacks around you might be gullible but not me and my people. You may need liberation from Kanu a dropout but my liberation is with my creator and my self through common sense giving to me
I have read Nnamdi Kanu's post and position and I wish his followers luck, but God forbid me follow such a character
.
.. you still don't get it. The point the OP is trying to get across to the hardened Nigerian/African/black minds like you is that we black people in most part do not do critical reasoning + analytical skills period. So, he is trying to understand if it's in our DNA not to do heavy duty reasoning that can transform us from backwardness to modern society.
We really need "Think Tanks institutes" in all strata & levels of our society, hence we become philosophical/idealogical in our approach to solutions bedeviling us as a race.
AyakaDunukofia: You are most likely to see the emergence of ANAMBRA MEGA CITY from Anambra state. The current towns in the LGA areas of Onitsha, Awka, Ogbaru, Oyi, Anambra, Ekwusigo, Dunukofia, Njikoka, Idemili, Anaocha and Nnewi North would become the epicentre of the sprawling metropolis. These would gradually spill over to Aguata, Nnewi south and Orumba.
The coming hurricane is so big that Obosi would just be a part of the mega city like the other towns as we know them today.
Don't forget Asaba oo.. because she is closer to Onitsha even more.
OreMI22: When it comes to Fulani owned businesses, they allow price gouging and maximum exploitation of Nigerians.
If this was owned by another Nigerian, the same FG will insist that it will not sell above NNPC pump price.
That is the Fulani nepotistic Nigeria we have found ourselves in today.
...And the Yorubas will defend this fulani heartless expliotation to death, because of their hatred to other Southerners and Igbos in particular,... they have been harmered into the matrix where they can only defend the evil that flows out from the Fulanis and nothing else...
Arrewa, we all are proud of "black is beautiful" in fulani women, but you shouldn't mix it in your political pursuit & cultural hegemony.
Igbos unlike other Nigerian tribes like the Yorubas, understand fully the *power of symbols. Using 'beauty symbols' to pursue power will always work on Yorubas, of course Hausas and others..not Igbos. Fulani Magic..... that's why you produce all the Emirs & Yorubas can never lead you in prayers.
Arrewa: HausaFulani is a term unique to Nigeria which collectively refers to the Hausa and Fulani as a people. The two are grouped together because since the Islamic revolution of Usman Danfodiyo their culture have become even more intertwined within Nigeria.
Hausafulani As the name suggests, the Hausa/Fulani are two ethnic groups which were formerly distinct but are now for all practical purposes intermixed to the extent of being regarded as one inseparable ethnic nation.
Although found throughout the grassland belt of West Africa, the bulk of the Hausa/Fulani population is concentrated in Northern Nigeria especially in and around the urban centres of Sokoto, Kano and Katsina which were important market centres on the southern section of the trans-Saharan caravan trade routes in the past.
The Hausa had established well organised city states before the advent of the Fulani. These states included Katsina, Daura, Kano Zazzau (Zaria), Biram and Gobir. Some of these were conquered and re-established by the Fulani. A few other kingdoms such as Katagum, Hadejia and Gombe were founded.
The coming of the Fulani into Hausaland resulted in significant changes in the area. They brought the full force of Islam which became a great factor of social life and culture. In education, dress, taste and outlook, the Hausa and their Fulani conquerors became part of the Islamic culture world. This influence remains till today. Many Hausa people continue to be subsistence farmers, with a few practising mixed farming. Others are skilled craftsmen, such as leather workers.
The Fulani on the other hand comprise’ ruling dynasties, semi-sedentary farmers, settled farmers and herders but in the main pastoralists. Today, Hausa/Fulani influence has spread over much of the culture in Northern Nigeria where the Hausa language has become important.
Lies, lies �..... until the world sees one qualifying name for both, they remain Hausa/fulani.
