Apparently, referring to the attack by some recently elected PDP officials at the Yorubas, FFK has issued a stern warning to the PDP to cease fire or risk the wrath of his people...

The history of Nigeria only shows that Yorubas have only being successful as a conspiring tool of the jihadists in fight against the Igbos only and no other group. These idiots probably think, their successful conspiring role against the Igbos only, will endure for ever. I Have written it severely, that Ohaneze Nd I Igbo must step in to start discouraging marriage between Igbo women and Yoruba men, until Igbos and Yorubas form a political union or at least close rank politically. Any social union with the Yorubas without any political union is like putting the cart before the horse.

Alcatraz005:
God bless you. These people from the SE don’t know what damage they have done to their relationship with Yorubasfor the past 6 years. I was in law school in the east and Yorubas(very young people oo) formed a knitted clique to protect themselves in enemy territory. This was at the height of chinua achebe’s “There was a country”. A lot of things were destroyed by the igbos during and after the Jonathan years.

The result is that over Nigerians are afraid of allowing the igbos rule Nigeria. How sad.

..And what damage have Yorubas done to their relationship with Igbos, since you have already participated in the genocide against them...yorubas over the years have also are participating in political and economic strangulation of Igbos and yet Igbos are still giving out their daughters in marriage to Yorubas.

You see the rich Muslims? I can see lashes, make up cool outfits even see through...while the poor ones carry religion for head. Na them go wear black hijab for heat with socks ooo, with smelly hair join turban cos name them sabi the religion pass

The share hatred Yorubas have for IGBO or anything IGBO is their reason for trying to destroy NNAMDI KANU but couldn't succeed, not because Nnamdi Kanu was saying lies but because they saw him as a stronger voice for liberation which they could've joined force with and liberate themselves from asslicking and backstabbing attitude. Yorubas are jealous of IGBOS. BITTER TRUTH!

This people are #1 enemy of the Igbo race period. Think of it, ...although, Hausa/fulani jihadists are #1 killer of Igbos in Nigeria, but the truthful truth lies in the inter-play between the #1 enemy and #1 killer of Igbo people in Nigeria. #1 enemy of Igbos with their reserved support to the #1 killer of Igbos who are CONSCIOUS of this reserved support of #1 enemy of the Igbos would go ahead and kill Igbos, because both killers and enemy mutually understand the inter-play and cannot face Igbos on one on one.
Yorubas are #1 enemy of the Igbo race and, they don't deny it, hence they have participated in genocide against Igbos and will do it again and yet will go on marrying Igbo daughters.........I really don't get it.
Yorubas as #1 political enemy of the Igbos at the same time seeking the hands of Igbo daughters in marriage must be addressed by Ohaneze or other Igbo think tank groups. There must be a political union before you have a social union in order to engender a political purpose like the Yorubas have with the North , or you find in other cultures. Social union between SE/SS is more natural because of a shared political union, but when your #1 enemy shares a social union with you, you become extremely vulnerable to the inter-plays.

“We will allow the PDP to destroy itself but i will never leave PDP for APC."

Those words are very weighty.

I refuse to believe he said this.

"Hypocrisy of logic ". The Yorubas in PDP will band together and help PDP to self destruct for whose advantage??....APC obviously, and yet they will not leave PDP.
Yorubas voted in Buhari not because they love Nigeria. Far from it, They hate Nigerians but love Nigeria, just like Buhari they voted in.
For 2019 presidential election, they(some) will work as insiders in PDP for self destruction. Mr Bode are telling the Igbos in PDP that, they are plotting to destroy the Yoruba race, because Igbos may have found their voice in this new PDP after the Yorubas plotted for their political extinction in APC(almost 50 years after they joined in genocide war against Igbos).

This is the clearest indication that the Yorubas will go at any length(even if it involves mutual annihilation) to prevent Igbos from ascending the political ladder in Nigeria. It also indicates the Yorubas willingness to permanently destroy the Igbos politically and economically, and yet will not allow Igbos to part ways with them.

GavelSlam:
Africans are truly primitive.

What is our business with gods of other nations and why are we happy that a war is imminent knowing the fallout would affect us adversely as usual?

Idiot, Islam made Africans primitive/backward/underdeveloped/poverty stricken/corrupt/beheading and mass killings/war ravaged and etc in Africa. Yorubas aided and abetted Islam in Nigeria because they don't like Christian Igbos. Now, hypocris in them like Reno/Alcatraz005 are voicing their support(includes the willingness to take a bullet for Trump.....wonders) with Trump in this move against the Islamic world, forgetting the roles played by the so called *christian Yorubas like Obasango in propagation of sharia in Nigeria or Yorubas supporting Islam in genocide against the Christian Igbos. Within 2 weeks, we have seen the basing of armed drones in Niger/recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The strategic objectives here are well understood by those in the "know" including those Africans too.

Michael004:
Jusk keep deceiving yourself as the guy's truth hits you hard.

I understand, there are shades of truths in every thing in life, but answer this Q & A questions as truthfully as you can and draw your own conclusions.

1. True or false: In the next ten years, will a fully functional deep sea port in Calabar not going to have any effect on socio-economic dynamism of lagos as we know it today, since most Igbo merchants and importers will move closer to their home base?

2. True or false: Are Igbos not making visible efforts to stem the tide against their language as a result of globalization/information communication technology self evidence in songs by their mostly handsome musicians all over the world and policies put in place by their respective governments in the SE?.

3.High inter-marriages between Yoruba men/Igbo women in your own calculation(most Igbos don't even see that high marriage between....). If it is so, what do you think that drives it?. Is it the strong attraction to Igbo women due to their natural attributes or vis-visa?.

Please no deception, answer the questions and draw your own conclusions and if you have any other logical explanations, facts, reasoning or analysis, please bring it forward.

Osaze007:
I have observed in the next 10 years the Igbo in lagos will loose identity
Their children don’t speak igbo anymore now they Speak only Yoruba and English.
It has gotten so bad Ibo youths are now auditioning for Yoruba movies
Their women are married off
And the Yoruba culture is absorbing them
The new Igbo generator is investing all their life savings in Yoruba land
Building only house in their village
I pity the Igbo race

Untrue:
Let's give you a little bit truth, you ugly Yoruba man.
1. The SE/SS economic integration is heading in the right direction as exemplify by the building of deep sea port in Calabar and airport city in Anambra state by the Chinese investors. So Lagos socio-economic dynamism as we know it today is.....going......going....
2. There are strong evidences that Igbos have finally started to invest back home, with all their natural God giving attributes heading back to the East with them e.g. entertainment, sports and etc.
3. Igbos might be having challenges with their language just like the Yorubas, but the promotion of the language is in full force across the world. Handsome Igbo musicians are lending this pack on global stage(all singing in Igbo)and some top Yoruba musicians like Tiwa, wizkid, Davido and Olu Maintain are all including some Igbo wards in their music now.
4. On the marrying off, of Igbo women to Yorubas. Any Yoruba human being who believes that logic already has problem of cognition period. Igbos both men and women believe Igbo women beauty and it's strong attraction particularly to the Yoruba men is the borne of contention here. The conclusion...is either the Yoruba women are ugly or not as beautiful and as a wife material to eyes of most Yoruba men or the overall value of the Igbo womanhood(beauty/physical attraction etc) is way way higher than the overall value of the Yoruba womanhood at least in the eyes of Yoruba men. How else can a reasoning mind explain this?.

So young man, recalibrate that your 10 years from now into reality because Igbo have risen.

Alcatraz005:
Are you be any means referring to the Yoruba and Igbo Cold War? If yes, that Cold War would soon metamorphose to a real civil war in Nigeria. We are appalled with what is happening in Libya but the Yoruba race cannot continue to turn a blind eye to igbo hate. These wars online would soon spill offline and there shall be massive loss of lives and destruction of property. Yorubas are not the cause of Igbo misfortune in Nigeria. Igbo should rather look inward and go back enmasse to the east.

Fool, the separation of the two groups/others within Nigeria either through true federalism, regional government, or Biafra in order to fast foreword the development of the sub-sahara Africa and avoid other human race enslavement of black Africans is what the Igbos stood for and have being sacrificing their lives in millions to achieve it. The Yorubas on the other hand(up till today) have gone at any length to stifled those aspirations because they don't like Igbos. You partake in their genocide and are conspiring to plain another. Plain of separation from Igbos is easier for Yorubas than another plain to partake in Igbo genocide. Obasonjo a Yoruba man, as a matter of policy stopped the Onne port in River state from becoming a full fledged sea port. Stifled the building of real international airport at Enugu therefore forecing a whole ethnic group of almost 40million to go through lagos for their international trade with the outside world. Igbos understood the White Man intentions for black Africans, but Yorubas seams like they don't. They have being observing how the two tribes relate to each other from(Igbo/Yorubas/others) the slave plantations of North/South America's and must have concluded that they are strange bedfellows, but will lump them together in the same space anyway. Separation is what you must seek and not cold war to full blown civil war with the Igbos, but your evil mind will not allow you.

by 2050, at the current rate of your collective stupidity, you will still not have electricity, water, security or infrastructure.

Please count the Igbos out on this. They have being sacrificing their lives for the whole world to see that, they are not part of this sub-human beings who have with clear eye have chosen hell on earth

The Yorubas are #1 to see greatness in Nigeria future as is why the conscious Igbos see a different path to that future.

The flood that will strike lagos in the future is doing press up now. Continue sandfilling natural water pathways in the name of development.

The is what I really didn't fully understand with the reclamation and development of Eko Atlantic city. I have a funny feeling that Eko Atlantic city will be used to point out the stupidity of the African mind with respect to critical reasoning and analytical skills in future, if the whole city is swallowed up by the rising ocean because of climate change, rising temperature and melting down of ice caps both in the north/south poles

This article focuses on extreme poverty meaning those poor ones that are literally starving.

When you include the regular poor, that are managing to survive and living on less than $2 a day, then the number is even more devastating.

....but Yorubas are are very comfortable with the status quo. The more tragically the country gets, the more greatness Yorubas see in her future(Their Lagos, their Eko Atlantic, their APC, their media, their music super stars and etc). Consciousness, they say is a state of being awake (spiritually too) of your space, environment and universe out of which, your soul illuminates to the truth. The Igbo general population even down to six years old are more conscious of Nigeria reality than the Yorubas hence they agitate(and have sacrificed millions of their lives for the world to see) that, they are CONSCIOUS of Nigeria tragedy from birth. This Igbo CONSCIOUSNESS of Nigeria came as a result of them being the most travelled within the Nigerian space ( Yorubas don't travel as much) They engage other Nigerian cultures through commerce and industry, extensive travelling, inter-marriages, killing of their love ones, not to talk of the casualties of road accidents as they move around( no critical infrastructure projects in their region due to political conspiracy) and at the end, they have drawn a conclusion about Nigeria reality only them are CONSCIOUS of. I must confess, I love Igbos and their special nature. One thing is clear, these international institution(s) (un, world bank etc) who are also CONSCIOUS of the Nigeria tragedy (because their forefathers created it (and bestowed it on them as a legacy they shouldn't tamper with) will continue to reel out the statistics as the situation gets more tragic, while the UNCONSCIOUS Yorubas see greatness in Nigeria future.

laudate:
Eziokwu! What a interesting piece. This is the first time I will like your post on NL. Continue to speak truth to power. However, I believe the development of Lagos, started before the colonial period. Jisike.

You self, are not being truthful to truth and logic.
The development of lagos may or may not started with the colonial government or Igbos, but you can agree with me that the contemporary social-economic dynamism of lagos as we know it today is a function of huge influx into lagos of Igbo merchants, importers, traders, and others as a result of well orchestrated and crafted policies of age long marginalization of the region by denying them critical infrastructural projects/sea port/international airport/ non federal government presence and projects, spear-headed by a Yoruba man Obasango right after the civil war.

THE AVERAGE SOUTHERNER:

By Charles Ogbu.

In this Nigeria, an average Southerner is a weakling. A born coward with serious complex issues. A fool and an idiot. A slave. A typical example of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. But this is not even the problem. The biggest problem is, he doesn't even realise he is any of those things.

The only thing an average Southerner is good at is blowing high sounding grammar and acquiring degrees upon degrees but when it comes to things that matter most, he goes to slumber.

An average Southerner has this twisted mindset that the best way to be seen as a patriotic and detribalised Nigerian is by degrading, shaming and disparaging his own tribe for no just cause while heaping undeserved praises on his northern friends and pay-masters who have ruled and raped this country for almost 40 years out of her 56 years of existence.

Abacha stole this country blind, such that 20 years after, his loot, estimated to be in the neighborhood of 7billion U.S. dollars, is still being returned to the country. But in spite of this, people like Buhari publicly swore that he (Abacha) stole nothing. But to an average Southern idiot, Jonathan's 5 year rule is the reason we have no fuel, no light, no good educational system, no nothing! Jonathan is the worst thief in Nigeria history. IBB, Abdulsalam and even Buhari who was accused of stealing billions of dollars as PTF boss were all saints. Why? Because they are Northerners.

Was it not a southern he goat named Obasanjo who publicly wrote a letter to president Jonathan, accusing him of training snipers in Pyongyang (North Korea) ahead of last year's election?? He made the unfounded allegation just to please his masters upnorth and make Jonathan, his fellow southerner, look like a murderous beast knowing same to be false. Was anybody killed during or after the election by these "Jonathan snippers"? Now that we have the highest figure of senseless death of civilian in the hands of both state and non state actors under a Northern president Buhari, have you read any letter from the daughter-in-law fucking pastor OBJ??

When Shiites were massacred in Zaria, it took less than 48 hours for the Igbo-born Chidi Odinkalu of the National Human Right Commission to establish a commission of inquiry and summon the army chief but when unarmed IPOB members praying inside the Ngwa high school in Aba were murdered by the murderous bunch known as the Nigerian security agents, did you hear even a loosely worded condemnation from thesame Chidi Odinkalu?? To him and his fellow 'efulefus', the life of a northerner is worth more than that of a southerner.

For these 'Ndi-uchu', governor Fayose should be crucified for putting in place a law to protect his people from the Fulani criminals but the sharia-practising Kano state govt should be praised for having a law that empowers it to protect barbarians who slaughter people in defence of their religion and ban the sale of alcohol even when it is getting the highest share from revenue generated from that same alcohol. These are the same fools who kept mum when Sango Abdullahi, Sani Kaita and some so called Northern elders publicly threatened to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan if power wasn't returned to them. When Buhari made his 'dogs and baboon' speech and directly caused the death of southerners including youth corpers, these morons kept mum.

With all the numberless killing of civilians under this regime and its open support for the genocide the world fourth deadliest terror group (the Fulani criminals) has continue to visit on Nigerians, have these highly educated southerners bothered to write a strongly worded petition to the ICC thesame way Murtala Nyako, El-rufai and other northerners wrote to the ICC and other world bodies during Jonathan presidency??

These southern bastards would gleefully yell: 'Kanu should rot in jail, he was preaching hate on radio Biafra!' But these clowns maintained sealed lips over the hateful and inciting broadcast by 'Radio Chanji' and Arewa Radio upNorth including all the hate speeches attributed to the political disaster who currently reside in Asorock.

Northern beasts called Fulani herdsmen can trek all the way from Sokoto and zamfara with their cows to my village somewhere in the East and slit the throat of my people with the active connivance of the Northern Muslim-dominated security agencies and criminal silence from the religious cum ethnic bigot called president Buhari with nothing but deafening silence from these southern 'Ndi-oso-chi-egbu', but the moment I ask to be allowed to go have my Biafra since the Nigerian state has repeatedly proven unwilling to protect me, these southern 'Oka mma n'ezi' will suddenly recover their tongue and tag me an ethnic bigot and enemy of the state. Such is the degree of the soulless hypocrisy of these southern dickheads.

These 'Ndi-eriri-eri' will dedicate a whole year writing on why Nnamdi Kanu's Biafra agitation method is wrong but they will never dedicate even a second to write on the grave injustices of the Nigerian state against the Igbos which is exactly what Nnamdi Kanu and his group are protesting against. Bunch of dishonest morally and commonsensically bankrupt horde of grade 9 idiots!

These nitwits were on rooftops telling us how incompetent and corrupt Jonathan was and how his removal was a patriotic duty. Today, things have all gone worse under Buhari and you would think that these southern imbeciles would be at the forefront calling for Buhari's resignation but no! They are the ones defending the daura born ex-soldier even against thesame things for which they crucified Jonathan then.

Now I know why Jonathan appeared weak as president and spent his 5 year term trying to please the North.

He knew he had nobody behind him in the real sense of the word. He knew that we Southerners are weaklings only good at blowing high sounding but empty grammar. Who opposed Jonathan more than his own brothers? Check out Rotimi Amechi, Timipre Silver and Tam David West -the old liar who swore Buhari would sell fuel for N45 per litre?

These 'efulefu' southerners will never question why president Buhari wasted no time in rolling out the war tanks against the Shiites, the ND Avengers and the peaceful pro-Biafran groups, but is busy dishing out juicy amnesty package to boko haram terrorists and giving out free grazing land plus one billion naira to the Fulani criminals -the two deadliest and 4th deadliest terror groups in the whole world according to the Global Terror Index. But these same southern 'anumpamas' will read this post and characteristically play the ostrich by avoiding all the indisputable points I've raised here to concentrate on, "Charles, your diction is very strong. I don't like your choice of words".

Nonsense!! Bleep political correctness!!

Slaves who think themselves masters!!

You are talking to the Yorubas...not the Igbos and Niger Deltans.

AkinPhysicist:
They typical Ibo is a born Yoruba-hater. Filled with hate from childhood. Peter Obi is another one. Filled with envy and bitterness towards Yoruba. They are born to hate. BUT WE ARE THEIR HUSBANDS

Yorubas, Igbo husbands ke?.,..but Igbos are Man over you in sports, entertainment, commerce and industry, beauty, diaspora repatriation, education and etc. The only thing you are Man or husband over them is in political conspiracy with the 4th bc northern Hausa/fulani jihadists that empowers you to fill like a husband over them. And for your "the typical Igbo is a born Yoruba-hater" , I think is the other way around. Yorubas have lifted their hands and partake in a genocide against the Igbos and is a self evidence of the same envy and bitterness towards the Igbos that you are accusing Peter Obi of. Igbos hatred of Yorubas now is reactionary. They will react and Hate you when you conspired to denied them sea port/full fledged international airport which in effect have resulted in huge influx of Igbo population into lagos. These population who are hugely merchants, importers and traders changed the dynamics of lagos both economically and socially and boom, lagos become what she is today period.

See Afonjas salivating and commenting above " this woman is pretty," " she fine sha". That's all they are good for....admiring beautiful women and don't know when to be professional. Because they don't have beautiful women in their region. They see any beautiful woman, they can't control themselves. Igbo men rarely say a word because THIS IS WHAT WE ARE USED TO...WE HAVE BEEN SEEING BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, EVEN MILLIONS FINER THAN BIANCA SINCE BIRTH; SO WE ARE NOT MOVED. Tasty Afonjas; so hungry, the funny thing is women like these don't even look their side.

Every time they are admiring, praising or into marriage with Igbo women, Delta women, Hausa/Fulani women or women from other region of Nigeria, they are unashamedly telling the whole world that Yoruba women are ugly period. This debasing of Yoruba woman hood by Yoruba men themselves have far reaching implications/consequences both for them and others around them.

History has taught us what will happen to a people who marry women of other cultures(worship foreign gods) Into their own......over time, their value and belief system will change and etc , but that's not even the real concern here. The real concern here is...

Love and Hate: If a culture does not love(expressed through their worshiping of Igbo women's beauty baisicall)and celebrate the beauty of their womanhood, the love/hate negative consequences of their womanhood trickles down to their generation after generation as they attempt to 'beautify' or 'deorganicalize' the natural physical appearance of masses of the Yoruba population.

The pertinent questions are as follows:
Do Yoruba hate themselves and others?
(1) IS this the reason while Yorubas from all strata of societal levels (governors, Obas, men and women etc) bleach themselves to stupor (bobrisky)??.

(2) From love/hate angle, could this explain the lesser value on human lives(within the culture) expressed through higher incidence of rituals involving easily available human parts all over the region??.

(3) Politically, could this explain the subtle actions and indifferent from majority of their leadership(with exception of few) , their media houses to the wanton waste of lives by the religious bigoted fulani?, and these lost of lives don't move them as much while the Igbos are trying to run away from them/hausa/fulani. Could the love/hate of Yoruba womanhood by the Yoruba men themselves explain/ or connected to the extreme hate they have on Igbos??,(which most of them will deny it with that complicated love/hate relationships with Igbo and Igbo women beauty while the generality of Igbos see through it and are responding back to the Yorubas through the Biafra agitating )?. Could this explain while they joined in Igbo genocide and continue to celebrate it in all the available social media they can lay their hands on?

Yoruba, God is love and don't make mistakes. Actually, Yoruba women are some of the most beautiful dark skin women in the world....quote me anywhere and must be loved and celebrated by Yoruba men themselves.

Fina.

The richly blessed continent of africa is home to the poorest 10 countries of the world because of diabolic decisions such as this

True, true ...your assertion might be right, but for me, let wait a little bit longer in our criticism..... because I can see a strategic move here that may work for the Igbo cause, on a continental level.

God created the universe with LOVE for all things and creatures perfectly fit within their space, while Satan created a country (Nigeria) , firstly naming it a satanic name nigga area which has absolutely nothing to do with the love of God of the Universe, and then fill that space with people who have nothing in common to share. Fulani have brought death, darkness and hell to replace the love of God of Universe in the evil country created not by God but evil and satanic humans for their selfish reasons.

Igbos must "think out of the box" and embrace Okorocha on this one.

Please Nairalanders, what is the root cause of this Igbo/Yoruba rivalry? These two tribes don't see eye to eye. Why is that so?

They hate Igbos because of Nigeria,

Igbos saw them as brothers, intermingle and inter-marriage with them in Nigeria, more than they do with hausa/fulani, but as soon as Igbos demand a change in their situation in Nigeria, the Yorubas will quickly team up with hausa/fulani to commit genocide on the Igbos but will overlook heinous crimes of fulani headsmen/boko haram.

Ngozi123:
Thank you for saying what many are too afraid to say. I've been saying this for months on Nairaland but they refuse to believe me. They're delusional if they think that the average Igbo woman would choose them over an nwafor.

IGBO women natural beautiful attributes/Biafra will always always be eternally subjects of interest to the Yorubas, while the same subjects in reverse for the Yorubas never crosses the minds of Igbos. WHY?.

You know, for them, saying that the average Igbo woman will choose them over an Igbo man only help them psychologically to get closer to that subjects of interest and engage it.

You can have QueenOfNepal free of charge. Considering the way she goes about trolling Yoruba monikers on nairaland, it's obvious she really needs a strong Yoruba man in her life.

Igbo women beauty is superior to that of Yoruba ugly women,.....and that's why your men over look your mostly wowo women for Igbo women.

Inferior chasing after superior.

Are Yoruba ugliness turning them (male & female) into bleaching themselves into red?. From Bini all through se/ss Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Port, women over there are much more better looking than Yoruba/ and some segment of Hausa population. Answer true or false?.

Why CIS and Not IGR Should Be The Focus Of Government

Let's start by defining the terms for those who are not familiar with them.

IGR: Internal Generated Revenue

CIS: Citizen's Income Sources


Now to the main subject matter

It is funny how Nigerians celebrate the rise of the IGR of their states without taking into consideration that a State can have a steady rise in her IGR while her indigenous people suffer hunger eg South West states and the rising able bodied beggars and street urchins, IMO & Abia states and the rising unemployed graduates, South South states and the rising number of militants.


Increase in IGR does not mean increase in the welfare standard of a state.

The most important thing beside security that those in government should focus on, is to increase the CIS of her indigenous people.

Government should focus more on programmes that can enable her people produce and sell whatever marketable goods & services they have to offer in order to increase their income.

When people's incomes increase, it will be possible for them to take away so much burden from the government by providing for themselves some of those basic amenities like good community hospitals, schools, roads, housing etc.

A country where her citizens depend so much on the government for survival, will definitely come to ruin with time.

A wise country, empowers her citizens to take care of themselves and place less burden on the government.

By Bisi Olawunmi

The secessionist insurrection of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) took a dramatic turn in the week ended Saturday, September 23, 2017, during which the secessionist group was proscribed and its erstwhile boastful leader, Nnamdi Kanu, took to his heels when confronted with fired up soldiers. Reminds you of another boastful secessionist in Biafra 1 – Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu – who also went on the lam when federal troops closed in on him back in January 1970? At least, Ojukwu walked the talk of war, but this wet pants peed on only hearing the sound of guns! So much for the empty braggadocio! Also during the same week, there was an international angle to the secessionist agitation as the Federal Government decided to name two countries – Britain and France – as collaborators in IPOB’s partitioning agenda.

Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Lai Mohammed, told the nation on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 how Britain and France have been tacitly complicit with IPOB in its destabilisation of Nigeria. Britain, stated the minister, continues to tolerate Radio Biafra’s hate and incendiary broadcasts from London while France is said to be the financial clearing house of IPOB from where funds flow to the secessionist group. The minister had asserted: “Let me tell you, the financial headquarters (of IPOB) is in France, we know” and also posed a rhetorical question: “Who does not know that IPOB internal radio is located in London?” Mohammed explained how Britain had been frustrating Nigeria’s diplomatic efforts with the British authorities to shut down the pirate radio station only to be given the nebulous excuse of freedom of expression.

He had wondered: “If we have a person in Nigeria openly soliciting arms to come and fight in the UK, what would you think of it. Would you consider that freedom of expression?” The minister implied that the two countries have been engaged in semantics or what I would call diplomatic jousting. Minister Mohammed spoke of “knotty diplomatic issues which you need to skip” only to add in a double talk “I don’t want any diplomatic row.” Of course, the minister knew the charges against the two countries would spark diplomatic skirmishes, perhaps low level, for now.

Well, these are trying times in Nigeria and nationalist fervor demands that the country must be ready to ruffle some diplomatic nests in defense of the sanctity of her territorial integrity and sovereignty. There is reciprocity in diplomatic relations. We need to remember that Britain and France have played ignoble roles in the international arena in recent times under the self-serving subterfuge called ‘International Community.’ Britain followed the United States to declare war on Iraq on the lie that Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein, had ‘weapons of mass destruction’ which must be neutralised.

They ended up destroying that country and got its president hanged, as a rub in. Yet, Tony Blair, the then British Prime Minister, who stridently orchestrated Gulf War II could still face the world and declare that he had no apology for the destruction of Iraq, a country that has not known peace since. Such brazenness! Such denial of criminal culpability by a British Prime Minister who had made a past time of pillorying President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe whose main offence was winning re-elections in his country.

Apparently, Blair, with imperialist hang-over, wanted a regime change in Zimbabwe but met more than his match in President Mugabe, who once derisively called him Tony b-Liar. The old Zimbabwean war horse was right, Tony Blair lied on Iraq. So, if Britain condoned the Iraqi war, why is the Nigerian government peeved by the British High Commission’s statement condoning Radio Biafra’s hate and inciting broadcasts on the puerile doctrine of freedom of expression? The same Britain that shut down the Internet when youths went on rampage in London on the excuse that they were using it to network and mobilize others for the riot.

Talk of diplomatic duplicity or double standard. The immediate past British Prime Minister, chubby boy, David Cameron, in an expansive mood, once described Nigeria as a fantastically corrupt country, another brazenness from a country that is fantastically a receiver of stolen funds, being the financial capital of the world, both legitimate and illicit. Well, it was good riddance, as the political gambler fantastically lost the Brexit vote that saw to his exit from 10, Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s official residence.

As for France, it supported Biafra I and facilitated Emeka Ojukwu’s exile in Ivory Coast, her satellite nation, so, it should be no surprise that it is the financial clearing house for IPOB, the leading agent for Biafra II. France was indicted in the Rwanda Genocide of 1994, in which an estimated 800,000 Tutsis lost their lives, for being complicit with the then Hutu-led government. France also led the Western onslaught on Libya that saw the killing of Libyan leader, Muamar Gaddafi. In 2011, France, brazenly thwarted the will of the Ivorian people, when under the cover of ‘International Community’ mandate, it provided military support for a candidate, Alassane Quattara, in Cote D’Ivoire’s disputed presidential election conflict to capture a sitting African President, Laurent Gbagbo! Gbagbo had won the majority vote in the main election and was pronounced winner of the re-run election by the country’s Constitutional Court only for the UN Representative in Cote D’Ivoire to assume the role of electoral commission to declare Quattara as the winner!!

Sadly, Nigeria’s naïve President Goodluck Jonathan, as ECOWAS leader, had endorsed the UN envoy’s verdict, and consequent UN mandate, which accorded French military partisan involvement a dubious legitimacy. Cote D’Ivoire is France’s milking cow, a situation President Gbagbo had ended, so the empire struck back. With Quattara, who is married to a French woman, in charge, France has returned to gravy train in Cote D’Ivoire while President Gbagbo languishes in detention at The Hague facing criminal charges at the International Court of Justice.

The West sent Gbagbo to jail for a domestic conflict arising from an election dispute, but Tony Blair still struts around, a free man. Talk of the hypocrisy of the ‘International Community.

Nigeria’s political leadership should be under no illusion about any affectionate love from Britain or France, and, by extension, western countries. Britain and France are yesterday’s countries, over whose empires the sun has set, now playing a fickle third fiddle in international power relations and struggling for residual relevance in Africa. Nigeria, on the other hand, is a country of the future with great potentials which some vested interests may not want manifested being a threat to their hegemonic hold. You see, no country in Europe has Nigeria’s landmass, natural resources or population.

According to worldometers.info (2017) the combined population of Britain (66.2 million) and France (64.9 million) is 131.1 million compared to Nigeria’s 192.06 million while the combined landmass of Britain and France is 789,487sq km as against Nigeria’s 910,770sq km. Given these endowments plus high caliber human capital, the prospects of Nigeria as the great Black Hope is bright. We can now begin to understand why many countries would have dubious designs on Nigeria and would not be averse to its disintegration.

Yorubas do not understand the Nigerian reality like the Igbos do........and is very very unfortunate.

My simple/common sense question to Yorubas and their elites is this: which group have a better/clearer and understanding of an environment? (a) A group whom in their numbers engaging that environment through both vertical and horizontal migratory pattern, indept intermingling through trade, commerce, inter-marriages, buying into real estate and extensive travel experiences of the said environment or (b) A group whom their engagement with the said environment is limited to about half of the first group??.

There is no greatness to Nigeria future, as the country is structured today....and any medium European power can bring complete destruction to Nigeria if she really choose to. If certain kind of weapons/finances through a proxy is made available to any one or more of the agitating groups, there goes Nigeria, your lagos and your Eko Atlantic. Britain, France and Europe understand it. In fact, in there own belief, you haven't enter into history.

juman:
I wonder why those greedy "leaders" led nigeria to this lowest of low level?

Suicide bombing in nigeria!!!

This is like we are in a dream.

So nigeria can be this bad!

The next dream is right around the corner, when the use of weapons of mass destruction will be introduced into the mix. You know, we Nigerians (the south especially) lacks critical reasoning and strategic thinking.

Trash from a pathetic human eating savage. You lot have been cursed to always blame everyone for your misfortune, its truly a generational curse. You are more One Nigeria than any other tribe in that country, you run away from your cursed land daily yet you wont let everyone rest. Who is holding you from having your own country? You animals were deported but cried to the UN for help yet you want biafra. Seaport in SE? How can a landlocked erosion ravaged region have a seaport, are you mad? There is only one international airport in the whole SW, yet Yorubas aint crying like you noisemaking slaves. I am waiting for you to tell us how Yorubas are holding you from having your country. Pathetic liar

You black ugly demonic 'udele', can you and your people shout it out, and demonstrate to the whole world that you don't want to be in the same space with the Igbos as the Igbos are doing?....but you can't for obvious reasons. If you not stealing their women, you are conspiring with hausa/fulani to still their resources. Your enviousnes of Igbos have allowed your lot to over look the worst evil ever committed on mankind by the Hausa/fulani to be taking place all over the country.
Black devil, you want me to show you how the Yorubas are holding Igbos down from achieving their own country kwoo? . Demon, even in nairaland 'politics' section, it is a stated goal. Every thing about the Yoruba existence is to see the ultimate destruction and disappearance of this unique people while the Igbos are only desperately seeking to separate/extract themselves from your demonic grip without seeking for your destruction or disappearance. You invented the first genocide, and you demons are systematically engineering a second one.
