It has nothing to do with intelligence and competition, the resources are limited and the Igbos hunt in packs if you try to beat them on their tuff they'll hunt and maul you like wolves. They simply hate outsiders.

But Ebonyi is accessible though.

They hate outsiders yet northerners have made homes in many Igbo cities. The problem people like you have is that of ignorance, so unaware of what happens outside your local govt. Take a trip outside your village and go see how northerners are raking millions daily.
Let me ask have you heard of Ama Awusa (more like Sabon Gari)? I guess you haven't.

If the South East is hostile to non indigenes why do we have thousands of northerners trouping to places like Lokpanta in Abia State, Ugwuoba in Enugu State and the various Ama Awusa that litter the length and breadth of the South East?
Go to those places and see the northerners and Igbo natives living in peace and doing their business together, each group providing complementary services to the other.

At Ama Awusa in Owerri I know northerners who have lived and done business of yam selling for decades, they have never being harassed, never being attacked even when Igbo are attacked in northern cities.
At Okigwe Road in Owerri is the famous suya spot owned by a northerner who has lived there for decades.

Some people will sit in their bedrooms and type rubbish without realizing that thousand of non Igbo are making millions of naira daily in Igbo land.

The truth which my Yoruba brothers have failed to see is that you can't really beat Igbo in their area of comparative advantage. Even outside Igbo land, that's why you have businesses where the natives can't compete with the Igbo. Nobody is stopping anyone from coming to the east but can you compete? The northerners succeed because they bring businesses Igbo are not particularly good at like cattle creating and selling. Northerners make millions everyday bringing in tomatoes, onions, ginger, potatoes etc into the south east while some people sit in Osogbo, Ogbomoso, Ede etc and spew rubbish.

The northerners who rake their millions from the south east daily don't complain, they don't make noise, only those who have never being beyond Ore are.here disturbing public spaces.

Enuguboy4nsk:
At the emboldened is particularly true...imagine my female friend from mbaitolu was refused a suitor from mbaise by her parents simply BC the suitor is from mbaise both of same state oo

when you talk about these things some uninformed persons here will call you Yoruba.. I don't just get it

Lekan my friend my Ijebu-Ode was denied marriage to Adenike from Abeokuta because he isn't Egba. Mind both are from same state.

I brought this up to let you know that while you may be right in your Mbaise and Mbaitolu story, it happens not just in Igbo land but elsewhere too.

Babacele:
have u ever asked yourself why the talakawas love him ? as petroleum minister he made sure the wealth went to the people; maitasane terrorism nko? check out the exploits of PTF; he was an awesome commander and commandant; who can scare the audicity to steal from the commonwealth by the northern elite as represented by Umaru Dikko or Dasuki if not a Buhari? and etc

And how many of those talakawas you claimed to love Buhari has he in and out of govt pulled out of poverty?
Isn't he ashamed seeing millions of sorry, unkept, hungry and smelly 'talakawas hail him everyday and yet he has wrought one good policy to help them?

Millions of Nigerians less privileged than Buhari are doing more to help those guys than their saint. How many has he put through school?

Nonsense.

eyeview:
Which power is being fixed?
When Jonathan was in power, we averaged a megawatt output of 5,000mw. Fashola and APC said it wasn't enough. I have documented evidence of where APC promised that if voted, they would take it to 10,000mw. They got into power and it hit 0mw, the first time since the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914. Today, they average 3,000 mw and their goal is to celebrate 5,000mw. The same feat they said wasn't enough. They think we have forgotten. You can verify if they have ever reached or passed 5,000mw.

You mentioned housing. Please show me the news link of any new housing projects initiated or commissioned by this govt so far.

Also show me the new hospital projects.
Atleast, Jonathan built 6 new universities( note: built, not refurbished), this govt has not even built an almajiri school.
Please give me the facts to support those lies you spilled out there.
The only project initiated and completed so far in this govt is the helipad in Daura where Buhari's helicopter will be landing whenever he is home. Fact.

12 new universities bro not 6 and that increased both admission and emplyment spaces for Nigerians. Don't even be surprised that some of these zombies cursing Jonathan here daily are either attending or working in some of those schools. At least ' I know one, always on with their APC narrative that Jonathan did nothing. One day I asked him where he was and what he was doing before he was employed into the Federal University Kashere and no answer of course.

doctokwus:
Whats d cost and how much was embezzled?
Any project whose cost is hidden is a source of embezzlement of govt funds.
I dare Wike and any of his supporters to show us where d cost of any of d projects he undertook has been made known not even to the public,but to top officials of d supervising ministry or agency.

I dare you and Buhari to make public the cost of his treatment in London.
Nigerians are paying his bills, don't you think it's important he let us know how much we are spending?

PHILipu1:
.

Bros,that was the story that we were told and they were all lies.
If this was a real scam,such a scam will take many years or months to plan even if all the northern governors were involved.
How come our intelligence services couldn't get a clue to such a plan and remember that most of the security men and women in the north are from south while those from the north and serving in the south.

If it was a scam,why didn't GEJ and his team moved into action immediately the news broke the next day that the girls were kidnapped and probably rescue some of those girls that their trucks broke down along the way and bokoharam boys spent days to fix them before they continue the journey with the girls.
Gej men just wanted Bokoharam to continue so that they will keep get high funds on security in the budget.

Was it a scam when even GEJ chief
of defense staffs (Badah) told us then that they knew where bokoharam kept the girls?

Do you have evidence to prove what you were told is a lie?

PHILipu1:
.

That showed that GEJ and his government were clueless because as a commander in chief,he needed to be on top of his game but it seems that the office was bigger than him.
You can have all those agencies under your control and your top and trusted men calling the shots and some demons,state governors,the opposition who don't even control anything will scam you like that.

We all knew how they almost killed the current president with a suicide bomber in Kaduna.
Was it the opposition or was it a scam or did Buhari played with his life to set that up?

I don't believe this scam of a thing.
I am from south-south and a Christian but we should tell ourselves the truth,Gej was a total failure.

The principal of the school had her daughter in that school, infact in that class and was living in the dormitory with the other girls. On the night of the abduction, the girl was recalled from the dorm and taken away to Maiduguri by the mother.

Most of the teachers who had their wards in the dormitory withdrew them prior to the abduction.

WAEC didn't want exam to be written in that school and many other in the hot spots, Give Shettima promised adequate security but on the night of the abduction, there wasn't even a single security man within sight.

Don't know whether it's a scam or not but I need answers to those 'questions' raised above. Why did they happen?

azaino:
You think so ?

Isn't it obvious?

Ask yourself why the girls are being kept away from their parents and loved ones?

It's all too familiar, there are certain information the govt doesn't want the girls to reveal to the public yet. It is too risky for the govt to release the girls when their 'minds haven't been taken over yet'.

Now tell me where's the best place for the girls to recover if not with and among loved ones. The govt surely knows what it's doing.

sapele914:
He defeated Dakuku Peterside a pdp member and former pdp senator who ran under the apc flag,no biggie politics is a game not do or die, you win some you lose some,Honorable Ameachi had completed his two terms in office as governor and was not eligible to contest,for the records Bruv i am not a fan of Rotimi Amaechi,hated his guts when he was head of the governor's forum under pdp and I don't think much has changed about his ego, but why the fuss?you have to give credit were credit is due, Rotimi Amaechi and Bola Tinubu removed Jonathan Goodluck an incumbent president from power and sent him packing to Yenegoa abi na otuoke?The biggest upset on record in Nigeria's political history. Bigger than James Buster Douglas Knocking out Iron Mike Tyson in Tokyo on Fedruary 11th 1990.

That defeat while painful isn't the end of Jonathan, he has moved on and yet the APC can't let go. Doesn't that show how insecure they all are?

Jonathan has achieved what Amaechi and Tinubu may never achieve in life and nothing can change that. When any one of them become president, only then can they compare themselves with Jonathan.

The way the APC spent billions of naira to make Peterside Dakuku governor of Rivers State and yet lost.

Why is this news BTW. Haven't parties being spending billions to make their candidate win? Why is it a different case with Jonathan?

The APC wasn't actually austere with Ambode sponsorship were they?

We haven't really forgotten Amaechi's boast at the APC primaries in Lagos that they will match Atiku naira for naira and dollar for dollar.
Pray tell me whose naira and dollar it was that was spent to make Buhari president.

GetMeRight:
Allowing corruption to fester in every aspect of our economy is being a democratic govt? Crippling EFCC with poor funding is also part of a democratic govt? Looting spree is also another part of being a democrat?
Before, the song was that if you don't want to be investigated, join APC. What is the song this time around, wailers?

I'm sorry if you believe there's actually a fight against corruption. There's no such thing, what we have is harrasment and intimidation of opposing voices irrespective of which party they belong. It's not a hidden fact that Kwankawso and the powers that be don't agree, a fall out out his disagreement with Umaru Ganduje the governor.

On a lighter note, how much do commercial vehicle operators pay at FRSC check points today? #100 in case you pretend not to know. Before the coming of this regime, FRSC used to be one of the few credible organization not giving to extortion and intimidation but look at what they have become under the anti-corruption czar.

sapele914:
Solid difference under the pdp regime it was the common man that was the victim whilst the corrupt politicians were covered by immunity now that same police force that have them the immunity have now come for them and they are complaining.,i know justice is blind so Mr kwakwanso so and answer the allegations against you,so the police can come and search my house but can't go and search your brother's house?obey the rule of law Alhaji.

And has the common man fared any better under the APC regime? If anything the common man is worse off than he was under the PDP regime. Have never said Jonathan is a saint cos he isn't but comparing him with Buhari you soon realise there isn't even any basis for that.
Under Jonathan the common man enjoyed his right to freedom of expression and thought, the opposition flourished. He never intimidated people into confirming with him and his plans, your right to even disagree with him was respected unlike now.

OKDnigeria:
“If it were the previous government that’s doing this, we would not complain. Alas! this is being orchestrated by a government we worked to entrench.




http://dailypost.ng/2017/05/05/apc-rubbishing-kwankwaso-reacts-raid-brothers-house/

You wouldn't have complained of course because tbe previous administration never tried that. That administration was led by a democrat, someone who respects the rights of citizens, an educated man unlike the dullard you fought to install.
You deserve what you are getting, so don't complain.

NwamaziNwaAro:

Shame on Nigerian Medical Association

Not one qualified doctor in all of Nigeria to treat/kill our president.

The only politician that left his health in the hand of a Nigerian doctor was killed by him (Senator Adeleke)

Na to dey pack plenty allowee for NYSC
And to dey form for campus
Na im these medical students sabi do.

And what about you and me who get treated everyday by these doctors?
Do you know the number of lives that have been saved by Nigerian doctors?
That Buhari doesn't trust the doctors doesn't mean they are bad.

Gayigaskia:
Channel did absolutely nothing wrong. I saw the video the OP was talking about, and it was clearly marked File on the top right edge o the video. I guess the OP don't what they mean by FILE.

Rubbish!
They should have backed up their claim with photos of the same meetings he had with those guys.

Like NTA did this morning, claimed that Buhari met with the AG Abubakar Malami, but the only picture and video they showed is that of Malami addressing state House correspondents but not of the actual meeting.

Who do they think they are deceiving?

Countries like the defunct USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were once thought indivisible but look what has happened. These countries have broken into smaller republics some of them doing far better than 'mighty' Nigeria.

Biafra survived three years of air and sea blockade, how you think she won't survive now that she has prospered beats me. Instead of asking how Biafra would survive post Nigeria, why not ask how Nigeria will survive the loss of the Igbo?

GenBuhari:
I won't be surprised if on Buhari's exit, Osinbajo selects Saraki or member of Senate leadership as his deputy, or he resigns to hand power to Saraki.
One way or another, either Osinbajo or Saraki would eventually unravel all progress Buhari has made and destroy Nigeria.
Outlook is bleak unless patriots intervene at this time.

What progress do you talk about mister?
Nigeria is destroyed already under Buhari so I don't understand how Buhari and progress can be used in the same sentence.

doctokwus:
D same template they used in deceiving us about Yar'Adua's health is what they are now trying to use.
D only difference is that in Yar'Adua's case,he had a VP who didn't av any brain capacity to think,or act as a deputy gov,gov or VP,so they were comfortable keeping Yar'Adua in Saudi Arabia.
But in Buhari's case,they av a VP with a brain and mindset of his own,already winning hearts and minds,so d cabal being scared of their influence being daily diminished with every passing day of Osinbajo's presidency,decided to fly down a critically ill PMB to Nigeria against Drs & common sense advice,so as to give d false impression he is still d one in charge.
It's just a matter of time,d truth won't be hidden for much longer.

Why can't guys like Fashola, Shittu, On, Ngige, Onyeama, Udoma etc rise up and be counted like Akunyili did?

Can't your VP with brain use one of them to get the FEC to act?

You and your type are the reason why the cabal is treating without respect. Stand up to them and see them run.

You helped them foist an old man on us, and the beat you can do now is 'win hearts'. Nonsense.

Very stupid comment as usual.
And why do you think Turai and the cabals back then were afraid to let Jonathan in on Yar'Aduas condition? Was it not for fear of losing power and influence which eventually happened of course?
During the Yar'Adua's debacle, we had a minister who rose to the occasion and spoke out without fear of being killed. She fought the cabal and won.

Tell me what the VP with brain has done to ensure the needful s done.
Which minister in the current dispensation has the gut to speak out like Akunyili did?
Is the VP with brain bold enough to confront the cabal?

He's a professor of law, what has he done against the rape and flagrant disregard to constitutional provisions?

VP with brain indeed.

He should publish the details of the donations and also make public the Buhari Campaign Account so we could see who and who made donations.
Such bogus claim in the face of his alleged corruption don't fly.

Hassan080196:
Sir, there's limit to one's constitutional right. You need get that right. And for anyone suspected of grievous charges like corruption in Nigeria has limited rights. To my own understanding, efcc breaking into these thieves house should not be subjected to any form of breaching law.

I'm so disaapointed with this seriously.

EFCC isn't a law court who has the power to withdraw a citizen's fundamental right. A 'suspect' isn't a crimina until a court of competent jurisdiction says he is.

What the hell is wrong with some of you?

lilytender:
Olisah Metuh said more than these, after some days at EFCC cell, he became a born-again elder stateboy and started preaching peace. When next you see EFCC in your house, tell your children to go and wrestle EFCC guy down. A word is enough for the wise.

Statements like these embolden EFCC to infringe on people's rights.
Look I'm for an active and independent EFCC, but won't tolerate infringements of my fundamental rights. Breaking into people's homes, pulling down doors and windows is barbaric, there are better ways to go about their search than that? People should be treated with respect and the dignity of any accused should be respected

Who's going to repair the damages they cause?

omenkaLives:
I don't even get it. So these bastards want us to do exactly as they do.

Any idiot who can't stand one supporting Buhari in the forum should go fvck themselves inside the lagoon.

These same fools still call the ineffectual buffoon a hero and can't stand one supporting Buhari.

Dem never see anything.

How does this thrash you spewed here change the fact that Buhari has been missing in action and isn't capable of doing the job you expected him to do?
Doesn't it bother you that your president hasn't attended the FEC meeting for three weeks running without any cogent reason? (not that we don't know).
As an employer would you tolerate an employee who continuously absents himself from work? Won't you fire him and get a replacement?

People like you feel that complaining means we want Buhari dead, on the contrary it's you and your likes who wish him death. What Buhari needs now is take care of his health, that is the most important thing to most Nigerians today. Even if he can't reign, let him take an extended leave and let his vice run the show.

That's the most sensible thing to do.

harmless011:
We still have a long way to go in this country, looking at this scenario you will discover that few individuals are just playing games with the collective interest of over 180M Nigerians.
How on earth could Nigerians be kept in the dark concerning the whereabout of our president, they are not even carrying the VP and the ministers along.
How can one explain the fact that State House Chief of Protocols have to suddenly whisper to the VP that the presido is not coming to the meeting giving him go ahead to commence the meeting.
When we start asking questions that will call you names and at the same time asking that you pray for the president and support his government, this is the most deceptive government ever.

Shows you the level of disconnect and distance between the president and his vice. The vice president is supposed to have unfettered access to the president, there's supposed to be nobody between them but that's not the case here. Images a protocol officer coming to whisper to the vice president that the president won't be attending the meeting.
What an insult to the nation.

TheStronghold:
You can tell that Scotland will be successful if they are to leave the UK by looking at them now. They have a functioning economy with a proven track record. There is nothing in the east at the moment that is evident of a half of a functioning country. Onitsha has the highest pollution in the world according to the world health organization. There has been noted corruption that has prevented the local people from seeing true development, and many of the residents travel to other parts of Nigeria for business and jobs. These are the things that are present now. And 2 pages on not one person has explained how it will change with biafra

I still maintain that talking about things that aren't as though they were is irresponsible and the op should ote that.
Than again, the reference to Scotland here is the most irrelevant because Scotland and Biafra aren't in any way related or close. Scotland is semi-independent and autonomous with control over most but few of govt affairs, Biafra on the hand exist only in name yet, no govt, no structure and no nothing and you compare it with Scotland, come on what do you smoke?

I may share different views with IPOBS but those who think that Nigeria is indivisible should remember that at a time the USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were thought same too but look what happened to them and most of the new countries from them are even doing better than Nigeria.

MrMaestro:
Thats not the question. The question is:Give me hard, and factual proof with sources, how a split off country from Nigeria would be better than Nigeria.

Don't you think it's irresponsible and stupid (permit the use please, no insult intended) talking about something that isn't yet. Nobody can prove whether Biafra or any other breakaway Republic from Nigeria will be better than a united Nigeria because they aren't yet.
What's sure and certain is that the proponents of such republics want to break and not until that happens can we begin to make comparison.

This is akin to the belief by some people before 2015 that Buhari will be the best president Nigeria will have. When we cautioned them to wait until the guy ascends the throne they called us names. Two years on, the guy has turned out to be the worst.

In essence, do not compare a more than 100 year old Nigeria with a republic that hasn't taken off.

It may mean nothing though, but hmmmm the truth is far from being revealed. We are watching and waiting.

Yes Mr President, to those of us who know you have nothing to offer you haven't disappointed us. In fact you have met our expectations.

At the same time, it's easy to forget that a bag of cement was selling for #1,300 when this administration took over, a bag of rice for #9,000, a length of 12mm and 10mm rods for #1000 and #800 respectively.

It's also easy to forget that $1 was exchanging for #216 when this administration took over, a litre of fuel for #97. Have I forgotten that before this administration took over, #1,500 could buy me the quantity of fuel that could take me to work and back? Today not even #3,000 is enough.

Just shut the hell up.
