LivingSage: No Igbos donated to the Covic-19 of FG but they've been donating various relief materials within themselves. I like it Meanwhile, they shouldn't also have the effrontery to ask for any of the disbursement or question how it goes(they're even the ones complaining most now ,) coz YOU DON'T REAP WHERE YOU DIDN'T PLANT. You can't call us mumu and enjoys from our mumuness That's Just the reality
sagtav: Why is it difficult to find a cure for a virus that can be killed with soap and water?
Dumb question: your lung lining is different from your hand skin as both are different from your inside stomach where the virus is killed by acid in your stomach;........See the difference?.
To be frank with you, you're misguided. I'm a Yoruba man, while I grew up, I lived with Igbos, and up till this moment, I still live with Igbos, I've got a lot of Igbo friends, and never for once have I envied any of them. I've been buying my clothes from an Igbo couple since 2008, even when my Yoruba friends introduce their own wares to me, I don't buy, simply because I've established a good relationship with the Igbo couple. Even when their shop was demolished, I had to go to their house to get stuffs.
We live happily with Igbos We see Igbos as a part of us We dine and wine with Igbos peacefully We sell our lands to Igbos. We've got zero hate for Igbos.
Stop the unnecessary blasphemy and this nonsensical message of hate.
We love you We love Igbos.
IGBO AMAKA!
Bro, I am Igbo, everything on nairaland between Yorubas and Igbos are 100% fun. Evidence....it doesn't spill into the street. Remember, Igbos tried their own nairaland... guess it didn't work because their are no afonjas to be cursed out. Anyway, I not saying there's no beef between Igbos & Yorubas. There's a serious beef when it comes to Yoruba's politics in Nigeria which partly resulted in Igbo genocide in Nigeria...and this is why the echo of Biafra will never go away.
Unfortunately and sadly, Nigeria can never ever transform, modernise or industrialise into a modern society some of us are yearning for without absolutely political restructuring.
Is a universal knowledge that political restructuring spur economic restructuring, strong governance institutions, rule of law, ethics, law & order etc.
In this time of national emergency, all of the above will be tested..... and lets watch where is going to lead Nigeria and the rest of Africa.
Nigeria lacks capacity, capabilities, resources, efficiency and of course productivity in all sectors.... all due to extreme weak institutions(political corruption)emanating from the kind of political tragedy the country have being experiencing since after Independence.
The least this country can shoot for now at this time of emergency is efficiency that can lead to some kind of productivity..... and this can only be achieved through micro regional management.
Osibanjo's new economic way of thinking must emphasize some aspects of this thinking or you go the Chinese communist party way.... but for you student of history, it took the execution of Charles the First by the Parliament in the beginning of the 18th century that ushered in the industrial revolution in Britain. On the other hand, Stalin slaughtered 3 million Russians to transform Russia from agricultural base society to industrial one... investing massively in steal production and Fabrications.
Agitate for your own country, una go say no..that one Nigeria is better..
Let others drink water drop cup..una go carry Lagos-Ibadan express news follow others join..
Everything to you guys is about one Nigeria. Amotekun we are not dividing Nigeria, Osinbajo Nigeria unity is non negotiable .
Aside this what is the rate of happiness index and what you guys have gained as political Lord's..as you say..
Nonsense.... forming drama queen when they are hungry. Nigeria has destroyed so much values and people's culture if not what on Earth will lead a Yoruba seeking to marry an Igbo woman...different blood with no connection.
Nigeria is one of the greatest mistake of lugard because one Nigeria is a crime against humanity.
Bro, you know what?, I have come to the ultimate conclusion that all these Yorubas from top to bottom shouting one Nigeria all the time are recessive in nature period. And their one Nigeria mantra have NOT even being time tested to their own little understanding of what it really implies subject to a reverse connotations & applications
For example, if Arewa decided to pull out of the union, can Yoruba or Yoruba, Igbos and others stop them like Igbos were stopped?. If Yorubas decided to pull out of the union, can they succeeded?. Mind you, any of this scenario is plausible over a time line. If the first answer is yes, then Yoruba's one Nigeria mantra is sacrificingly genuine and unrecessive, but if the answer is NO, then their one Nigeria mantra is fake, unsacrificing and can only be activated in line with the whims and decisions of Arewa. I don't even have time for the last question, cos we already know the answer to that.
MetaPhysical: Your women are running away from cave-age barbaric culture that force them to drink cadaver waste when their husband die, and have no right of inheritance or equality. The only place that respect equality and justice is Yoruba. Your women are rushing Yoruba men.
Get sense!
See your unintelligent response.
Until other groups start to see & appreciate 'any' positive value/attributes from your side to write home about, you folks ain't shit.
MightySparrow: Arrant nonsense. There is what you are; there is what you think you are; there is what people know what you are. The latest is your true nature blunt and right judgment by interaction and carriage. So, it is right to defend yourself and tribe. You live among others. Your disposition ibrings true measure of judgment about you. Igbos as the one tribe that believe is insecure has a statement of acceptance to make to others Hausa - Fulani or Yoruba do not feel unsafe or want to impress. If you truly worth your onions; it is others who would sing your praise. How many philantrophists of note have arisen from igbo people without seeking gain only in their host communities? Okorocha, any other? I don't know. leadership style among igbos is good, peculiar, and commendable but is obtruse to peoples that have ruled others by either colonization or influence. while Hausa / Fulani or Yoruba have wider coverage and influence, Igbo trail behind. The lack of central object of lord - leader is affecting igbos politicstoday
Nonsense narrative.
How else can others sing your praises?. As humans, you sing other human group praises (*positive praises) by integrating/or adapting so aspects of their core values through intermingling and not by praise singing.
Here in Nigeria, the Yorubas want some of those good attributes of Igbo culture (like core family values etc) by heading straight to the source as can be attested by the increasingly the numbers of Yoruba men wanting Igbo women as wives more than any other groups.
My question then is, what nature of Yorubas can excite praise singing, and how can other groups intermingle to be part of it?. Afrobeats?..

the easiest people to use are Africans, reason why slavery was so easy in african when the whites came... in fact it was even harder to free some of the slaves because they did not know they were slaves
LOOK AT HOW A GUY IS MAKING HIMSELF POPULAR WITH THE BLACK RACE
Wasn't it afonjas slavery attitudes towards the Hausa/Fulanis and their hate for Igbos brought this apocalypse upon us?

Witcher: the moniker above is US and Europe dumping ground too because he send it there. Let's us desist from this Nigeria frame of mind. This Jack ma also donated this same masks and kits to USA none of American nagging on it whether it was infected or not. We have to be extraordinary careful... Cos the virus came from China, In short we just have to think about it before we can accept those kits. I still don't know why you people are thinking like this.. Are we the only country that were given this masks and kits?
"Trust, but verify".....US President Ronald Reagan.
Marcus Korede Tibetan is a CCC leader in Nigeria and Dublin. In this interview, he claims the biggest problem Yoruba has in this world is the Igbo problem. Amongst the things he said; they included Igbo's being in charge of bringing fake things from China, and also an uneducated Igbo selling adulterated drugs around the southwest.fake and even the Otokoto saga.
Watch more to hear what he said.
The biggest problem the Yorubas have are the Yorubas.
Nnamdi Kanu have told you guys a zillion times, that your blind believe in one Nigeria (Obasonjo a couple of weeks ago reafirmed his believe in one Nigeria till death) will destroy you guys.
You Yorubas aided the Hausa/Fulanis in killing and starving millions of Igbos in other to pull them back into your one Nigeria.
Marcus Korede is just one of those jealous/hateful Yorubas...... because most of those accusations against the Igbos, Yorubas are also engage in them, and in some areas worst than Igbos or vis Visa.
"Protect the President by all means. We can’t afford a repeat of the Yar’adua era in this critical time. The potential replacements are a breed of vultures I wouldn’t want to see in charge of Nigeria. And now isn’t the time to flee the country."
Righteousness89: Even Killer Herdsmen have gone on Isolation..

johnmartus: Firstly I would like to introduce myself Because of my brother from southeast that will tag me an impostor. My name is Kamsiyochukwu I was born and raised in Isiala Ngwa.
After this introduction if you still call me Afonja or yoloba Muslim that's your damn business, You can kiss my ass.
The two way we are ahead of other tribe in Nigeria is...
We are developer. We are investor.
There's no doubt that we develop Lagos to what its today. But I'm still in shock why we failed to develop our own region Anambra, imo,Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia state.
We are investor: But trust me Innoson is only company that we can boast of in the whole of southeast. 20 African richest people no igbo folk made the list. 10 Nigerian richest people no igbo man or woman made the list. Hausa man is the most richest man in Africa. Yoruba woman is the most richest woman in Africa.
So tell me what we are investing on? we are workerholic but nothing to show for it. Have you ask yourself why our leaders not support that bastard called kanu? The truth is that we can't have our own country Because there is no resource to finance the new country. And to avoid another Somalia and Sudan we must preach against Biafra. In conclusion let us stop sabotage and envy our brothers. We must learn to love,we must stop saying bad things about our country and we must always praying for our country.
God bless Nigeria president. God bless the federal republic of Nigeria. May God continue to enlarge our coast.
There are more factors, but these two stand out.
1) Ignorance of your history.
2) Absence of the civil war history in the school syllabus, so that generation of ignorant folks like you can exist.
Igbos are naturally developers(and indeed, the fertilizer for Lagos development into the mega City she has become today), and investors.
These two qualities of Igbos, and of course other natural endowed attributes are the bane of their tragic history in Nigeria. Let me do the connections for your questions and in reply, disprove them and present your own connections to your questions.
Igbos extra ordinary huge presence in Lagos today(historical presence were there but not like today) have a history behind it. It was by design. It was an economic policies by successive fedral governments right after the civil war to stop Igbos (the developers & investors) from developing & investing in their home steads but rather bring in their God giving endowments to flower other regions especially Lagos as part of the war vanquished booties they have being enjoying from all aspects of the Igbos lives, including their women. Port Harcourt or Calabar could have been the preferred choices for Igbo migration, but these design policies (which are still ongoing) were crafted within a frame work of long term critical infrastructural denial in the SE..eg Obasonjo's government opposition to SE international airport, seaport, roads etc. Political imposition of governors(governance over Igbo lives). That's why, you can shout Biafra, regional governance, State police, exclusive lists, and all would fell on def ears. Maybe the coronavirus and others like it will now let them to rethink, and decongest Lagos and evolve sound policies to transform the country if its not late.
No group can tell China what to do. In fact, China hates non-state actors so much because of their threat to national cohesion that it will do the opposite of what they want. China don't care how a country is run.
The same lie you told about Trump's support when he couldn't care less. The same lie about Jewish ancestry.
It is funny that this so-called group could not use their gigantic power to achieve their most pressing objectives playing to the gallery when oil price crashed by more than 50%.
The Chinese communist government have started to pay serious attention to some of these loans, as they potray China in a negative terms.
I know, you must have heard about debt trap, debt diplomacy etc.
Akwa Ibom have gotten the right infrastructural foundation going for her. One gigantic project one step at a time.. and watch the magic few years down the road.
Since Sanusi landed in Lagos, Yoruba politicians, business men, Obas and fake pastors are scrambling to visit him in his exile crib.
I will say it again, the philosophy that guides the Yoruba's view on Nigeria politics, culture, media, economy, ethinicity, religion etc, is frightening to say the least.
I saw this unexplainable excitement of Yorubas with Buhari candidancey & now with Sanusi(both Fulanis).
Is this just emotional, children-like tantrums or something more insidious?. This strange reactions only happens when Fulanis are involved. Could this be spiritual?. It hasn't even being up to two months, a leader of the Meyity Allah, in a Yoruba controlled channel TV, characterises the Yoruba culture/race as primitive. Is this a case of primitivity, Since the Fulanis whom this kind of gesture were directed at described it so?. What is it? Soyinka have join the band wagon. Falana vocal pitch is a little bit higher than usual, same as social media. When Femi Adisana defends his principal (Buhari another fulani)actions/policies, you can visibly see & feel that strange spirit in him as yet "another Yoruba defending a Fulani at all cost even though is never the other way around.
I don't know or have any answers, but what I know, is that the outcomes will surely keep pushing the country Nigeria, further down the abyss from the status of poverty capital of the world. Oil is now $30 a barrel in an over borrowed economy, with Naira set to be further devalued possibly reaching 600 Naira to a dollar in a very short notice, and one can authoritatively link these outcomes to this unexplainable guiding Yoruba philosophy towards ethinicity, politics, governance etc in Nigeria.
NwekeUG: I Would Have Gone To Court If I Had Wanted To Return As Emir - Sanusi
The dethroned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has spoken during an interview that he could easily regain his lost position as Emir of Kano if he wants.
johnmartus: Name one thing that igbo has done to Nigeria. Only brainless and illiterate person can ask this question.
Fool, the question is morally justified. Fedral structure of government is a function of what socio-economic benefits each federating unit or group gain/contribute towards the structure, and if felt short changed, a unit can communicate that across through demonstrations, questions, debates etc, especially when you have dysfunctional/rubber stamped Senate. If your side haven't got the balls to question what's in there for them in any giving situation from time to time, don't block others to ask questions.
Please, stop posting the pictures of Arab & Sub-Saharan hybrids here to represent the North. This is not you or the typical race of Northern Nigeria but in extreme minority. Almost 99% of core Northern population are jet black in complexion & belong to the Sudanese Nilo group of Africa.This is sick, as religion have destroy the minds of you typical Northerners so also the physical appearance of a lighter skin Fulanis have become the symbol of Northern beauty. Very sad indeed.
prekumohtim: Nigerian Passport Becomes World’s Fifth Most Powerful- After CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Analysis nigerian-passport-becomes-fifth-most-powerful-after-cnn-fareed-zakaria-analysis For the first time ever, an African passport is among the top five most powerful in the world. Revealing this on its website, the Henley Passport Index released its ranking for the year 2020 and Nigeria had a dramatic rise from being at the 95th spot to going up to the 5th most powerful knocking out both Spain and Denmark and tying with Luxembourg. This, surprisingly, is coming after the White House announced late last month that immigrants from Nigeria and five other countries will no longer be eligible for visas allowing them to live in the US permanently, expanding Trump’s controversial travel ban policy. The proclamation cited Nigeria’s failure to comply with security and information sharing requirements, and its high “terror” risk to the US as reasons for imposing the restriction. But as CNN’s Fareed Zakaria analyzed in the latest episode of his current affairs program ‘Fareed Zakaria GPS’, Nigerians pose no specific security threat whatsoever to the US and its placing on the travel ban list only amplifies Trump’s racist views on immigration. Zakaria noted that if Trump’s desire for highly skilled immigrants was really a thing, then Nigerians should definitely not be on the ban list. This is because Nigerian immigrants who make up the largest sub-Saharan African immigrants in the US as of 2017, are highly skilled, English speaking immigrants. Hours after Zakaria’s analysis, the Nigerian passport value suddenly skyrocketed as countries including Canada, Britain, Germany, France, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, and 186 other countries relaxed their visa requirements for Nigerians, wanting a share of those highly skilled immigrants that the US president is too racist to see. Culled from OG.
Igbo Amaka.
"Argue with all relevant stats on migration & remittances" ( mean while, IPOB are all over the places waxing stronger).
Gabriel004: [s][/s]Na so so lies everyday about the war. They claimed to fight the whole world alone without help from anyone. But we know the truth about them. They like taking glory for what they are not.
They keep shouting how Britain and US support Nigeria without mentioning a single name of their armies on the battle field with Nigeria troops. But they will never mention those who supported them like France, Belgium, South Africa and others.
Ask them to mention single foreign machinery that fought along Nigeria, they won't answer, but the losers will rather be shouting how the whole world fought against their cockroach soldiers.
Here are machinery they never mentioned in their narrative as a loser should be.
Marc goosens, a belgian machinery
Rolf Steiner, a German machinery
Major Taffy Williams, a South African machinery.
Eric Prince
Robert S Goldstein, an alley of ojukwu.
Will they mention how French armies bring ammunition for them, no.
That is how a sore losers behave. No one is surprised.
Talking about successful than others, until we see an igbo man or woman on forbe list, your imaginary success is Audio.
Pic 1 Marc goonsen Pic 2 Rolf Steiner Pic 3 Taffy Williams Pic 4 Eric prince.
Totit, come o. I challenge any of these igbo to name any machinery that fought alongside Nigeria armies like they did for them. I will create thread for this soon.
Fool, but you still cannot stay on your own, to prove them wrong and prove your side right.
Since you are incapable of logical reason, stay backward, poverty stricken and ugly.
AkpaMgbor: The white journalist's observations 1. That the Igbo man can do anything to survive any situation 2. That the rest of Nigeria felt that the Igbos were "too clever for their own good" 3. That they needed to curtail the perceived Igbo dominance. 4. That the ingenuity of the Igbo was witnessed first hand during the war 5. That that same ingenuity was what they need to help them out from the post war situation and hardship.
Believe it or not my brother, these are the core reasons while the civil was fought in Nigeria. Can you imagine we black Africans?. Extreme envy was the reason why the Yorubas aided in genocide against the Igbos.
Paretomaster1: You must b a f**l... The country would have been better off now if your forefathers self-centeredness haven't pushed them to that tribal, and unholy coup.
It was the same vague and imaginary suspicion of Islamisation that Pushed Nzeogwu, that your cohorts are still mutting....
Keep rejoicing......you cup will be full soon..
Most Sub (human)or Saharen Africans are incapable of reasoning and your tribe unfortunately falls into that category, and it is very sad indeed.
Judging from all that is happening in Nigeria today, The Igbos have being vindicated even with their involvement in the first coup carried out by Nzeogwu, Zik's insisted on one Nigeria or Aguyi Ironsi's introduction of the Unitary government structure in Nigeria. The reality for any real human being with sound mind looking at Nigeria today can only come to a conclusion that Igbos involvements OR NOT in those historical events could still not have alter the evolutionary trejectory of what Nigeria have become today, simply because, this trejectory is driving by Ideology and religion, but of course, the end game is over all control of everything. The British understood it a couple of hundred years back and for their future interest, it fits into their future engagement frame work with the place. Igbos MUST also understand that the Yorubas can never ever buy into this logic ever, talk less of Hausa/Fulanis as the unfolding events, all pointing & leading to the fulfillment of the vision of the dialectics.
God cannot help Nigeria, if the Nigerian government do not hurrydly restructure the country, therefore, regionalize/compartmentalize/localize the solutions and effects of so many level 0 extinction protocols the whole world will be facing in this brave New world, and there are so so many of these protocols. Consequences of climate change, extreme biotechnology, 5g technologies, block chain technology, super powers conflicts over geo-econmic-military-politics(the most dangerous for Nigeria/Africa)
Just imagine what will happen to Nigeria/Africa when you mix conflict zones in the Sahel, Id camps, bokoharam, Fulani heardsmen, coronavirus, poverty capital of the world, corruption and etc.
Now tell me how God can help those who cannot help themselves...
Rossinnki: You're the one who reasons like a drunkard.
The Chinese are not an ethnic group, but an amalgamation of peoples.
Ethnic groups did not arise in Africa ''out of necessity''.
It was the white man that came in and told YOU that you were ''an Igbo man''. And separated you through stroke of a pen, from a ''Yoruba man''. and an ''Hausa man'', many of whom were hitherto your known blood relatives!
Comparing it to using a phone is ignorant. A phone is helpful. Tribalism is the opposite.
You don't have to use EVERY import they send you. You have the ability to decide which to discard, based on their impact on your society.
TRIBALISM IS UNAFRICAN
DE-TRIBALIZATION is AFRICAN.
Living as a detribalized person means going back to the ways of our ancestors, who judged a man not by the language he spoke, but by the content of his character.
Seeing yourself as a ''Yoruba man'' or an ''Igbo man'' is playing out the Divide and Rule agenda of colonizers, whose aim was always to bring disunity among previously integrated peoples, in order to exploit the continent.
Fool, is Tribalism, the only element in your focus mix. is it actually the most important element?. What about the religion?.
eduman365: So just because Dangote bought vehicles from an Igbo man, you people no longer refer to them as animals and all sorts of dirty names like you usually do. Now Yoruba is your people's problem?
When will you guys look inwards to see that nobody has time for your nonsense... Just continue. One day, your tribalism will catch up with you.
Igbos more detribalised than Yorubas 100%.
In their travels and settlements all over the country and beyond.
In their inter-marriages with other Tribes.
In their politics and voting patterns
In their investments in real estates in every nok and corner of the country. I can go on and on.
Give me just one example of a Yoruba's detribalised characteristic.
