MiddleDimension:
i canot believe you of all people will agree to this, that a man proposin to a lady is the undeniable evidence that.the man loves the lady.

i dnt know.about ths particular guy in question but it offends me so much that people here believe that a man not proposing to a woman does not love woman.

i for one intend to love and care about a woman so deeply. and once i get involved with any woman and she starts disturbing me with marriage especially when we started the relationship less than a year, thats def a red flag for me. i will just pull out of the relationship and let her go! to me, its she wants from me, marriage! she is not being bothered how she would love me more, she is not bothered how she can improve on treating me better, she is only interested in getting married and i would rather nor let myself get used to solve someones singleness problem.

Do you have sisters? Ok, preach this gospel to them. Tell them to spend the better part of their youth or lives in a relationship that has no future, with a man simply because they love him. The issue of marriage should also never be discussed, as it is likely to be anathema to the guy. Then watch their reaction. Don't forget to ask for your mum's opinion too....

lekpaciouse:
Please I need your advice as my guy want me to get pregnant for him out of wedlock that when the time comes we will get married,that other ladies are disturbing him have baby for him.
Please I need your advice
Thanks.

Dump him! Unfriend him on Facebook, delete him from Whatsapp, unfollow him on Twitter or Instagram, do not reply him when he pings or calls you.... in short, erase him from your life. The guy just wants a cheap baby mama and free booty. A man who truly loves and respects you, will not dishonour you in that way. He will never put you in a position where family & friends would disrespect you, due to his actions.

ROFLMAO!! Una no go kill person with laugh for here, I swear!!

spacetacular:
From zero to 100 with obscenities in record time. Bitterness and stress related outbursts such as this above is crystal clear proof that the owner of those words above has deep rooted problems either with his self esteem or his societal acceptance.

People who dish out extremes in negativity do so in their attempt to compensate for other inner turmoil such as those I already mentioned.

The reason why I would encourage his outburst is so that he can heal. I am sure he would feel better by the time he is done declaring another 500 lines of vitriol toward me while I sit back and laugh through them all.

Life is good when you are good to life.

I need to toast your sense of humour. I can't remember the last time I laughed this much!!

GodIsBiafran:
If we call you Yoruba now you will deny. Embrace your Afonjic Islamism and stop pretending to be a fair-minded human.

And if I call you a barbaric Hausa-Fulani herdsman now, you will object. Embrace your nomadic ignorance and stop pretending to be a rational, educated individual...

ONYII4TRUT:
Low iq

Yeah, thanks for telling us that your own IQ is really small. I agree with your observation...

bionixs:
Mr Yoruba, where is it giving fever now? Is Yaradua or Shagari your brothers? I don't remember him mentioning Awolowo. why are you people made this way eh?

Who is Mr. Yoruba? Is that your own middle name? Why are you people so clueless as to think anyone who does not share your perspective is a Yoruba man? There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. Or did they not teach you that fact, in school?

andyanders:
Do you have a copy of the said broadcasts?The issue here is for we all to make peace and not to promote problems between the North, East, South or the West.

Nigeria should be one nation and due to our misguided minds, we all tend to hate each other. We should remember that we have blood that flows in body and we should all reconcile in order to move forward.

You want a copy of the said broadcasts? Oga, Google is your friend. The internet never forgets...

Let Kanu tender a public apology to all the ethnic groups he has insulted with his hate-filled rhetoric, first!

Dedetwo:
Arrant nonsense. Abacha had in the first instance tried to kill not only Ken Saro Wiwa but another Nigerian from southern Kaduna. Abacha was threatened with the hell on earth, he backed down. When Ken Saro Wiwa killed one of the fingers that fed him in the second instance, he was left alone to deal with Abacha and Yari.ba. You can see the result was not pretty.

Kindly post the source or url link for this story here, so we can all read it and verify! There is too much fiction masquerading as fact, flying around these days...

Dedetwo:
I do really want Republic of Igbo land instead of Biafra. If you think the zeal in me to achieve homogenous nation state for Ndigbo can be dampened with your condescending craps such as your posts, you are siting on a long thing.

Ogbuefi, you started the condescension bit, with your very first post on this thread! You even threw in some insults for maximum effect. Go back and read all your comments, with an open mind. Anyway, I wish you luck in your quest for a new republic. Why on earth would I wish to dampen your zeal? To achieve what?

Michel2013:
listen in this internet age it is very difficult to destort information ok. Ojukwu handed over to Effiong on 8th jan 1970 and Effiong surrendered on 12 jan 1970 which brought the war to an official end on 15 jan so how did ojukwu abandoned his people? he had already planned the surrender programme before he left but nigeria army was so just pained because he denied them the taste of his blood. let me tell u something everybody must die one day but there is no strength of a general or an army that can stop an idea whose time has come. ojukwu has died but his manhood( Biafra) lives. Kanu can be killed tomorrow which he knows but the struggle will continue by a thousand kanus. that is the spirit of an ideology who has come.

many of our forefathers fought and died against imperial imposition but today their imperial oppressors have been dislocated and their names are written on historical books. bulk of basic human right u are enjoying today came with consistent struggles and ultimate sacrifices but one thing that was clear is that they always defeat their oppressors at the end. the brave men are guided by long term vision they don't care about immediate cost of their cause because a coward dies a million times before his time.

So what are you trying to say now? Why did he hand over to Effiong, in the first place? Are you implying that Ojukwu did not run away from the battle-field, as he abandoned his people?

hilroy:
I will tell you the reason why other minority groups disassociate from Igbos. I'm not trying to be insultive, but Igbos are the most conniving and the most discriminatory tribe in Nigeria. I will tell you the reason why. Out of the 3 major tribes in Nigeria, it is only Igbos that discriminate among their fellow brothers. You will never hear a Yoruba man call a Yoruba from Kwara state or Kogi state Kwara Yoruba or Kogi Yoruba. The same with Hausa. But Igbos call their brothers from Delta state Delta Igbos, even those from Ebonyi are seen as inferior to someone from Anambra for example. Also, during regional government in 1960s, while western region extended development and even introduced free education to minority tribes under them, Igbos did not do the same for minority tribes under them in eastern region. When Bendel (Benin & Delta) under western region decided to form their midwest region from western region in 1963, Yorubas did not hold them back. However, the Igbos discriminated and held back COR (Calabar & Ogoni region) when they pushed for their separate region at the same time
As you can see, It is absolutely not to any minority tribe to join the Igbos in the fight for secession. Any tribe that mistakenly do so will forever regret such action.

Hehehe.... e don tay wey I don laugh like dis! You are going to make some people cry with this submission!

mrtayesynchro:
Of course I believe u but there is a limit to ur powers in a democracy, after all President buhari can not call for KANU's head despite being the presidio die to the concept of "rule of law" which brings about constitutional suprmacy, and also checks and balances from other arms of government. But what am saying in essence is that in a military junta all the Head of state or Commander in Chief needs is to decree for nmandi's riddance, no body to check and balance, no constitutional supremacy but "decree" supremacy.sister forget,I have nothing against nnamdi o,but he is one of those majorly enjoying the dividends of democracy.

You do have a point. Nnamdi Kanu would NOT have gotten away with this agitation, under Abacha's regime.

Dedetwo:
When a dumbass jackass reaped where he/she did not sow, as in the case of Ken Saro Wiwa and inhumanly abandon property saga in Port Harcourt, you wan Ndigbo to shout praises of a dirt.

Again, your usage of expletives has just corroborated my previous assertion. Daalu. Kindly keep up the good work, of reminding other groups, of all the reasons why they do not want to have anything to do with your cause.

Dedetwo:
This is one of the reasons Ndigbo want out of the cesspit called Niger-Area. Ndigbo do not, I repeat, do not give a flying fig about deceitful scallywags in Niger-Area.

Your response has just corroborated my previous assertion. Daalu zi!

The Igbos are always the first to denigrate others and put them down. Just do a review of all Kanu's speeches. You cannot preach hate, condescension and arrogance to other ethnic groups, and expect them to support your cause.

Michel2013:
i was worked as a external supervisor in 2007 census exercise in plateau state just after the jos crises with hausas. i remembered how we were rebuked by their jos people when we innocently addressed them as mallam. they interjected that they were not hausa people to be addressed as such. however coming to reaction to injustices taking place in nigeria,the problem is that everybody wants to go heaven but no one wants to die. i keep wondering how can ethnic nationalities especially the minorities who are suffering same faith with Igbos would always tend to denigrate the Igbos who are bold and daring in their quest for freedom? is it not stupidity? it is not all slaves are comfortable with their slave chain so if they are comfortable while Igbos struggling to free themselves it will sensible to for them to remain neutral if they cannot encourage the struggle.

The Igbos are always the first to denigrate others and put them down. Just do a review of all Kanu's speeches. You cannot preach hate, condescension and arrogance to other ethnic groups, and expect them to support your cause.

PEOPLE & POLITICS - The Middle Belt: the facts, the fiction by Mohammed Haruna

Ethnicity as a political weapon in a sub-region which contained probably more than half of Nigeria’s estimated 250 tribes plus, many of them with a history of rivalry and wars, was a weak and blunt weapon. However, the plurality of these tribes, albeit not their majority, had the common denominator of being Christians.

This disparity between the Christian plurality of the minority tribes in the North and their numerical size has been at the centre of the confusion over the definition of the Middle Belt. Let me explain. At a reception for General T.Y. Danjuma following his resignation as minister of defence, Chief Solomon Lar, the foremost advocate of the Middle-Belt, define the sub-region thus: “By way of clarification”, said Lar, “the geographical Middle Belt is distinct from and smaller than the political Middle-Belt. The political Middle-Belt encompasses all the marginalized minority groups in Northern Nigeria. These are the nationalities that have historically resisted feudalism, political oppression, injustice, religious discrimination and the economic emasculation of the unfavoured masses”.

Lar, of course, was not alone in his emphasis on politics – or religion,if you will – instead of geography in his definition of the Middle-Belt. Among many others, Group-Captain (rtd) Jona Jang, former military governor of Benue State and the AD governorship candidate for Plateau in the last election, shared the same view with Lar. In an interview in The Comet of November 12, 2000, Jang’s emphasis in defining the Middle-Belt was again religion, even though he was quick to deny it. “We” he said, “have already stated what areas we consider the Middle-Belt, which are Southern Kebbi, Southern Kaduna, Southern Borno, Southern Bauchi, Southern Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Nassarawa, Kogi, the Federal Capital Territory, Kwara and Niger”. These are states or parts of states where Christians are in the majority.

The reason for the emphasis on, or the singling out of, religion, in defining the Middle-Belt should be apparent to anyone who takes even a cursory look at the population of the geographical Middle-Belt which is the North-Central Zone. This zone comprises Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nassarawa, Niger, Plateau and the FCT. Of these six states and the FCT, only Benue and Plateau states, the heart of the Middle-Belt, have an overwhelming Christian majority.

Of the remaining four states, Kwara and Niger have an overwhelming Muslim majority, with Nassarawa and Kogi probably having a not-so-slim Muslim majority. With the FCT it is hard to tell; among indigenes, Muslims are probably in the majority since the FCT was carved out mostly from Niger, Kwara and Nassarawa states in that order.

Its new status as the country’s capital has changed this demography in such a way that it is hard to tell without an exercise specifically aimed at determining the religious mix of the city. http://www.gamji.com/haruna/haruna91.htm

IamaNigerianGuy:
@OmenkaLives I seriously fear for the stability of your mind.
From my understanding you are from the middle belt. Well, I served in the plateau state and I have lived in Makurdi, and visited Kaduna and Taraba so I know that area well enough.

The middle belt sided with the Hausa/Fulani to wagewar against Biafra. (They even had a figure head Head of State who was booted out when he outlived his usefulness. He still wanders the lenght and breadth of Nigeria seeking relevance).
As alliances go, it was a strategic failure. Only six years later, a middle belt officer Lt Col Suka Buka Dimka would lead a failed coup against the government and kill it's leader Murtala Mohammed. Why ?
During the regime of Ibrahim Babangida many middle belt officers would be killed either in military operations in Liberia and Sierra Leone as well as those sentenced to death for coup plotting or died in mysterious plane crashes.
Maj Gen Zamani Lekwot was sentenced to death (later commuted to life imprisonment) for daring to defend his people against Hausa/Fulani marauders.
Hausa/ Fulani (Malian ? Libyan ? ) 'herdsmen' continue to kill your people in Taraba, Benue, Kogi, Kaduna, Plateau and elsewhere.

The reason for the violent rift between erstwhile allies is that the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy are not your friend my friend.
You in the middle belt have suffered as much as any other group in Nigeria from their murderous depredations. Only the Igbo have suffered more. You should ponder this more than you presently do.

With these considerations in mind, I am puzzled as to why you do not see a reason to reconsider your public statements. Has the logic of their actions not sunk into your head yet ?

This is not a game.
There are serious people on this forum who do not write for fun or 'likes' or 'mentions'. We are concerned about our country. Nigeria is a disaster. We need to act to rectify the failures of our fathers.
If KANU can be so bold as to step up and lead the fight from the front we should appreciate his message and acknowledge his effort whether we are Igbo or not.
You betray your people and yourself by your unreasonable submissions whatever they may be motivated by.

Thank you for reading this; I hope it has a positive effect on you

OmenkaLives will give you an answer in due course, but let me chip in my 2 cents.

Guy, this is where you lot often miss it. The middle belt region consists of several ethnic groups, with different languages and customs, but mutual respect for one another. Yet, you folks keep lumping them together as if they are a homogenous ethnic group who would all toe the same line, and fall into place with your wishes, or dance to whatever tune your games master plays for them. They may be peace-loving, but they are not stupid.

The Middle Belt is NOT under any illusion concerning its relationship with the Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri. Guy, in case you do not realise it, there is no love lost between the Hausa-Fulani /Kanuri axis, and the middle belt. In this day and age, ethnic groups in the MB are not looking up to the Hausa-Fulani for relevance, progress, benevolence or political support. 2017 is a far cry from 1966. There is no region that has suffered the heavy handedness of the Hausa-Fulani & Kanuri axis, like the MB. Since the herdsmen have been ransacking communities in the Middle-Belt, how many of your people have come to their rescue? Have they cried out to your ethnic group for support?

Despite all the havoc inflicted on the MB region by the far north, the various ethnic groups in the MB would prefer to stand on their own as a bloc or region, instead of aligning with any other ethnic group or proposed republic. The region is characterized by heterogeneity - a diversity of peoples and cultures. There are many Christians and several Muslims among them. If you talk to each of them today, they would not want to exchange the domination of one ethnic group, for another.

Let the Biafrans stay in their corner, and hold on to their proposed republic, while the MB also carves out its own path to progress by itself. All these incessant overtures to join the MB with some proposed Biafra/IPOB republic, is beginning to get sickening. If one ethnic group in the MB like the Tiv, decide to pay a solidarity visit to Kanu, that is their own business. The Tiv group alone does not speak for the entire MB. The Kilba, Bura, Gwari, Birom, Bariba, Chamba, Igala, Ebira, Jukun, Eggon, Jukun, Okun, Tarok, Etulo, Abakwa, Kakanda, Bassa, Gwandara, Agatu, Ingwai etc., or even the Nupe man is unlikely to toe the same line! But because of the mutual respect they have for one another, they often cooperate or join forces to address common issues and problems.

Kanu preaches hate, and sees nothing good in other ethnic groups, apart from his own. When he is not busy manipulating gullible minds with his provocative rhetoric, he is busy trying to carve homelands that belong to other ethnic groups into his proposed map, without their permission. This needs to end. The sly subtle emotional blackmail from the IPOB crew, and people such as your good self, should stop! Enough is enough!

Ddaji:
This message is to his illiterate members,albino now retreat because of kaduna declaration, thanks northerners for formatting his brain to factory setting

I no know say you sef, see am!! When his brothers resident in the North heard the Kaduna declaration, and calculated all they stood to lose in terms of naira and kobo, they must have sent a strongly worded warning to Kanu, to desist from his hate speech, or ensure he compensates them for any losses that may arise, due to his threats against their hosts. Cunning man die, cunning man bury am!

KahlDrogo:
The coward is beginning to backpedal like Hoe-jew-kwu.

Soon he'd become a "gambari slave" as well.

You baa-aa-ad boy! This is known as a classic finishing!

Curlieweed:
I don't believe in class warfare. It's usually nihilistic and ultimately discriminatory. The elite are but an expression of society. They can't be any different.

Even if you kill all members of the current elite but fail to change the structure and the system that created them, you would ultimately replace one set of venal elite with a new one. Animal farm is a classic illustration.

Well said!!

See this joker! Does he think we have forgotten all his broadcasts of hate, that were aired on Radio Biafra? Even his acolytes bought into his hate speeches. Now, he is trying to change his tune. 'I dont hate the North, like people believed....' indeed! Tell that to the marines!

omenkaLives:
According to ipob Jews, igbos committed no crime whatsoever and EVERYONE owes them and apology, while they owe no one none.

They are saints.

You also forgot to add this part... the Biafran soldiers never killed anybody, during the civil war. They were saints. The only casualties recorded during that war were the 3 million Igbo people who lost their lives. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Don't mind the useless man. When he was gallivanting around like a teenager, spewing clueless rants like an imbec'ile, and showing off ill-gotten wealth like a money-miss-road, while his people were perishing for lack of good governance, infrastructure and resources...what did he expect? May his type not be inflicted on Kogi state again, in this lifetime. Next is Yahaya Bello. The Almighty should remove him, like he removed Nebuchadnezzar in biblical times.

jusRadical:
Rubbish!

Stop being mad.

Stop insulting a woman that has no discuss with u. If u can't take the heat, go and hide like ngeneukeunnu and co.

And what advice would you give to the woman who insulted him, first?

felicitywe:
Imagine what u post.When will u stop shouting omo ibo!Some of u sometime wanna make me not to give money to Waheed anytime he comes begging money for child ceremony or burial of one relative or the other.Waheed is owing me four yrs house rent and is still coming asking for money.Pls what should i do?give him more money or drive him away?advice me pls.

Waheed is owing you for 4 years and you are still looking at him? Haba!! Why can't you drive him out of the house? Or is it not your property, again? Quantify the amount you have lost in terms of naira and kobo, by letting him continue to stay in your house without paying a dime. You are not a true Igbo person. A real nwafor would have kicked him to the kerb, brought in another tenant and collected 2 years rent, upfront! Chikena! Dis your story get as e be, sha.... I don't want to say you are lying, but....

arantess:
Actually the joke of the century is when ur president addresses ur Muslim brothers in a language which you do not even understand..

Which muslim brothers? Are you talking about the ones in your family? 'Cos last time I checked, I was a christian, o. Still am, in fact...

sean1000x:
Middle belt people...this person I'm quoting is an afonja. So you know and be very wary of them! It's in their DNA to cause trouble amongst people of common interest.

And this person I just quoted flunked history, geography and social studies in school. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, but in your myopic mind anyone who disagrees with you is an 'Afonja.' Truly, common sense is not common. Ignorance & cluelessness is a genetic flaw in your own DNA. Collect a refund from your teachers. You failed to learn anything in school...

hemartins:
I almost read your post when I saw "the stagnant water stays for days"
You lied through your teeth. The water drain I'm less than a day.
Ponder on this principle if you are intelligent, if you don't understand this then you ain't worth my time.

Water maintain the same level at all horizontal plain and would always flow towards a lower level. Eat that.

No sir. Your response shows that you are not familiar with the area I spoke about. Go to the front of NICON Hotel at the entrance of VGC Estate right now, and tell me if the flood is still not there. Is the front of that hotel elevated or depressed? Just check. Also, go right down Omorinre Johnson St via Fola Osibo in Lekki Phase 1 and tell me if the flood is not not there. Take a trip to Dowen College at Rd 14, in Lekki Phase 1 right now and you would still find the pool of stagnant flood water in there. These are routes I ply regularly so please stop peddling ignorance. Do your research before calling anyone a liar. You know nothing about these areas in Lekki.

I will overlook the crack you made about intelligence. Only people who argue from a weak standpoint, take refuge in insults.

Opharhe:
And all these guys branding anybody that has anybody with a different view from theirs "Afonja" or whatever... can you stop it already? It's just too childish and unintelligent of you guys.
In fora like this online or offline, you present your arguments sensibly and try to keep it civil as much as possible. That way both sides of the matter including the neutrals gain more and the discourse can be sustained.
Even me sef, who's more of a Biafra sympathizer, the day I'll just type something that doesn't follow the popular opinion among Biafrans here, I automatically become an "Afonja" Na wa o.

Support for Biafra is growing among non-Igbos and others across the length and breadth of this country for obvious reasons. Biafrans should not lose that because you need it. Kanu himself still talks about external support here.

If Nairaland was the only medium where I meet Biafrans I wonder how negative my view would have been.

Are there not Igbos who oppose Biafra? I've met some... one or two Igbo Governors sef dey among
Have they automatically become Afonjas?

There's no need of proof here really but my brother, fratermathy is a pure Urhobo man.

One person fit blast me now now sef.

Good morning everyone.

Guy, their brains have been wired into a default setting that compels them to scream 'Afonja,' whenever someone disagrees with them. They were not created with understanding, rational thought or intelligence. So just pity them.

If you know how many times I have tried to educate them that some of us belong to one of the other 250 different ethnic groups in Nigeria, you would marvel. Yet they have still refused to abandon their 'Afonja' mantra. If they do not chant that name in one day, their market would not sell. Guy, you need to realise that their problem is a deep-rooted one. It is out of the ordinary. Kindly pray for them. May God open the eyes of their understanding to discern the truth, in Jesus' name.

How beautiful. What an inspiring story! May your son give you more cause to shout for joy. May your gladness over him never wane or diminish, in Jesus' name. And may he be protected always by the mighty hand of the most high God, at all times, on all his trips, now and forevermore.

For those trusting God for similar blessings, their own joy too will come.....
