Look, ur writing is a give away, it is the same style and reads the same. Try harder!

What writing?? Guy, the money spent on your education was wasted, o! Go back to your teachers and collect a refund. Wait first, are you sure your sight has not been clouded by something more intoxicating? Tell me now, what have you been drinking? Kai-kai, dry gin or Orijin?

hammer6:
Ur so dry laudate, dat i almost fell asleep trying to read this ur long pained epistle. Take heart, Ndo O!

Ok, now everyone can see that the delusion which infused your brain has finally gone haywire. I am NOT EmeritusMbaM. I fit borrow you my contact lens, make you take check am!

hammer6:
U know, dey say the first sign of madness is wen u start talking to urself.

Yeah, we can all see the madness that has taken root in your head, which is why you have been holding mindless conversations with your shadow, all evening. May you receive deliverance from the plagues that afflict your soul!

EmeritusMbaM:
Lol. Confused tribe, cant you see everyone avoid them cos of their ways. One is already calling me laudate, only God knows why he refused to create them with a working brain. Lmaoooo

No mind am!! I am his worst nightmare. I have dealt with him on several threads in the past. That is why my name haunts his dreams. May more sleepless nights be his portion....

Sanchez01:
I know most of you foot soldiers are blind, so I wouldn't mind helping you out.

If the Niger Delta itself wasn't riddled with corrupt leadership, it would have been difficult for Northern powers to control the oil wells in their numbers.

It is similar to why the South East leadership have been the greater cowards in the Biafran project. Unfortunately, I cannot show you we are free because it would mean I must acknowledge that we are in bondage, which we are not.

I understand the Biafrian project won't be complete until the land grabbing tendencies materialize. You need the oil regions to fan your chest beating antics. Unfortunately, we don't share your dream. If you want the oils badly, declare a war and see what follows.

ROFLMAO!!

RebelChip:
Nobody wants Urhobos or Isokos in Biafra. Biafra is mainly Igbos and other minority tribes "Who declared interest" Willingly. They are free to get out and form their Niger Delta republic anytime they want. Its not our business.

You know its funny you all keep on claiming Igbos are interested in their oil. But even from the moment of secession, not one Igbo man had an oil well till date. You guys keep on living in delusion that Igbos are after oil... Thrash. To hell with the oil. Our ingenuity is enough for us. We will get there one day.

Before you quote me... I know what you will say next because the average ewedu tossing goblet is predictable. You will say something like;

"Ingenuity in drugs, baby factory, cannibalism and armed robbery".... Mtcheww. Stale!

What did you just say here? "But even from the moment of secession, not one Igbo man had an oil well till date...". Haba! Bros, you sabi lie, o!

Misterdhee1:
Is it your well? These peeps say they are more aligned with the yoruba than u lots, so why share in their headache. Why perform the role of a caring big brother to someone who doesn't want to be related to u? Is there any sense in that? There is a thing called choice. If urhobo and other tribes choose to stay in Nigeria, respect that. Haaba!

How can they respect the choice of others? When wailing is in their blood stream, and trying to attach other ethnic groups into their proposed republic, is their sole aim?

YungMillionaire:
LOL So fratermathy is now an afonja - if Ipobs are this crazy tell me who will want to join you in Biafra?

By the way - we Itshekiris will NEVER (I repeat NEVER) join Biafra. We are far more related to Yorubas and Edos. In the event of a Nigerian break-up our first choice is a Niger-Delta Republic. If that fails, we will join our Oduduwa cousins in the South-West. Ipobs are dreamers.

And please go ahead and call me afonja all you want - in fact, you are not that far from the truth

Ever since I saw them calling Fratermathy an Afonja, I have been laughing my head off! Fratermathy is as Urhobo as they come!

But you should know the default setting of the IPOB crew by now. Anyone who does not agree with their myopic views, is automatically labelled an Afonja, even if he is Gwari, Bura, Fulani, Idoma, Koma, Yakurr, Tiv, Ebira, Kataf, Nupe, Igala or Urhobo. You really can't blame them. I have always said it: The 'juju the Afonjas cooked for them must have been very potent... That is why you can see it manifesting in everything they do.

fratermathy:
So it is now by force, okwaya?

Biafra will come with Urhobo and Isoko whether they like it or not? Are you God?

Urhobo and Isoko in Biafra??!! I laugh in Greek! Wey dat Fela song? "Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am, na wetin e dey find oooOO...."

fratermathy:
Of course. Personally, I am not very pleased with the status quo. However, I do know that packing everyone to form a splinter nation without a roundtable discussion of terms is not going to cut it. As a people, the Urhobos have better chances in a restructured Nigeria than in an Igbo-dominated, however loosely controlled Biafra. This has always been our stand on this matter.

Just because we are not comfortable with Nigeria doesn't mean that we want Biafra as an exit plan. Many of us uncomfortable with Nigeria even prefer Niger Delta Republic to Biafra.

Well said!!

louwie:
Interesting it is. Can you be kind enough to provide more info as to who this easterner is, the one who served for 6 months ?

Reason being that i have done my own digging in times past and it revealed no such thing. Please provide more info ?

Here it is.

Point of correction. Dr. Bernard-Shaw Nwadialo, a Deputy Comptroller-General served as Comptroller General of Customs from March 2009 to August 2009. He hailed from the South-East.

bkool7:
Let me elaborate on my reply .
Why hasn't any person from Eastern Nigeria serve as CGC ?

First , It could be a coincidence . A coincidence In the sense that no one is keeping records of the ethnics that had served in that capacity . Since the constitution didn't say that particular post should be rotational among ethnic groups in Nigeria .

Secondly , a study of that office had shown that its rare to bring in civilian to serve in that capacity . So most people that had assumed that post were Custom officials , and they're appointed according to ranks. So if an eastern person had not been there ...without prejudice , it has to be that they lack the rank to be there whenever the need arises .

Thirdly , since you yourself acknowledged the peculiarity of the post , unfortunately it May be that successive govt. don't usually find a trustworthy peron in easterner to trust with such resposibility . And as long as Federal character had been fulfilled - people are usually contented .Except maybe a particular person interested in the post for reasons only best known to him/her.

These are the best possible facts. Whether they're satisfactory to you is entirely your perogative .

Point of correction. Dr. Bernard-Shaw Nwadialo, a Deputy Comptroller-General served as Comptroller General of Customs from March 2009 to August 2009. He hailed from the South-East.

On 27th May 2008, Jacob Gyang Buba disengaged from Service and in his place Hamman Bello Ahmed, a serving Assistant Comptroller-General was appointed as the Comptroller-General. He retired from Service on 15th January 2009, Dr. Bernard-Shaw Nwadialo, a Deputy Comptroller-General was appointed first in acting capacity, and subsequently confirmed in March 2009.

He in turn disengaged from Service on 17th August 2009, paving the way for the emergence of an Assistant Comptroller-General, Dikko Inde Abdullahi, who was appointed to replace him. https://www.customs.gov.ng/About/historical_information.php

How difficult is it to write a petition?.
So you don't know the power of petition?.
Bro don't play with fire o.

Hehehe....are you from Ekiti, by any chance? I hear those chaps are good petition writers....

Real2020:
I never said I hate Yorubaa, I love them but can never be yorubaa simple.

When did the Yoruba people ask you to be part of them?

Real2020:
Lol...Omo burukutu. Even if God gave me the option to either go to hell fire or be yorubaa, I'll go to hell fire. There is no benefit in being a yorubaa.

Maka gini? Don't let this hatred of Yoruba people kill you, o! I have lived in Lagos for several years, so I have nothing against its' citizens. But since you will rather choose hell-fire instead of having anything to do with them, I wish you Godspeed on your journey to hell.

Why would I go to Alaba to fight when I can write a petition to the ministry of environment that Alaba or Ladipo is too dirty, and before you say hello, another demolition will be loading.
Think, think, think, that block you carry around is empty no brain in it at all.
Is it not the same pompousity that's making land Lords to reject Igbo tenants?, you cannot fight a man in his territory, he will destroy you.

Chukwu biko!! See heavy finishing.... Wait first, when did you become a petition writer?

Real2020:
Lol...omo yorubaa. Lol

Oh, are you referring to yourself? I guess you want to join that tribe now. Just beg them to grant you citizenship...lol.

Real2020:
Only Dangote, oil companies and some notable Nigerians can use those ports in SS. International commercial vessels are not allowed to sail directly to those ports by Nigeria Port Authority policies...for decades SS and SE governors have tried to let NPA to allow these ports to function to their full capacity and they have refused. Only chartered or privately owned vessels by oil companies, Dangote and few well known Nigerians can use them.

There is what we can systematic marginalization that you yorubas have no clue of against Igbos, and SS. They know if SS ports are fully functional like Lagos, these ports will spur economic growth and likely clout to demand for independence from Nigeria, so making SE and SS dependent on Lagos ports is a way of indirectly keeping them in Nigeria...tying them to Nigeria.

Ehn? What do you mean by "you yorubas?" What makes you think I am one? Guy, shine yah eyes, o! I come from a minority tribe...

Real2020:
What is funny is some Nigerians particularly yorubas think it's natural and okay for Lagos to have 2 seaports and largest functional international airport by design and for SE to have none. Some actually think Lagos has all these ports and airport by merit. When you try to to reason with them that why are Port Harcourt, Calabar, Warri, Onne and Onitsha ports not as functional as Lagos ports, they come up with all manners of excuses but you tell that that Dangote is using Calabar seaport to import most of his goods into SE, and then they keep quiet. Lol! Same goes for the airport, why are Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and Kano the only functional airports in the country for international direct flight services? The fact is if you go right now, I mean now, to Lagos and Abuja, count and interview those traveling to international destinations, I assure you over 50% are Igbos. Then why can't they travel directly from Enugu, Uyo, Calabar, Asaba or Port Harcourt? Same goes for their goods...[b]all these companies Reno talked about in Nnewi, Aba and Onitsha import their goods via Lagos port, [/b]that's over 1000 kms drive and paying all kinds of customs fees and bribes on the way to finally make it to SE, and you tell me this is fair?

Yorubas...how will you people feel having to drive 1000kms to SE to fly and clear your goods? Not only do you do this one time only but a constant thing for the past 50 yrs? And you think it's ok? Yorubas....where are your conscience? Do you people have feelings at all? Do you have hearts? I commend Fayose and Fani but more yorubas need to come out and condemn this evil and wickedness!

I am scratching my head, trying to make sense of these claims that you have made here. If Dangote can import his goods into the South-east through Calabar port, and over 50% of importers are Igbo businessmen, then why haven't they joined Dangote to start importing their own goods into the SE, through Calabar port?

As for Enugu airport, didn't Stella Ada Oduah convince Ethiopian airlines to start launching direct international flights from there, a few years back? What happened? A few Igbo people have held the reins as Minister of Aviation, so why didn't they convert those airports in your region, into international airports? Just wondering....

igbodefender:
Guy, there is no tribe like Nd'Igbo. Nd'Igbo simply means Igbo People in Igbo language. The name of the tribe is Igbo, Ibo- some spell it as Ebo, Eboe, Egbo, etc. Same tribe/ethnic group.

Guy, I purposely used Nd'Igbo in my response, to indicate that I was talking about the present day Igbo people of the South East. Why are you upset because I did not write Igbo tribe, in full?

ElsonMorali:
So Let me get this straight.

You want your own country, But you don't want to stay there.

You hate the Yorubas, but you love their region because it is conducive.

You dream of the day you'll get Biafra But loathe and fear the day you will have to leave Yorubaland.

The Lebanese in Nigeria knows he's a foreigner and doesn't claim that Lagos is a no-man's land.

He has obeyed Nigerian immigration laws, that's why he's in Nigeria.

He understands that the Yorubas are the indigenous owner of the Southwest states so he respects them.

You want a country. A country you have no intention of staying in. A country you intend to visit only at Christmas period to show off the "wealth" you've acquired while working in Afonja land.

There was a country indeed.

Chimo!! See finishing.... chai!

nkwuocha:
So you have a Igbo neighbour you get along with
Continue to be a listening host to him

Look at you! I have Igbo friends, Igbo people who are married to my relatives, Igbo staff & Igbo clients, sef! Nice people who just want to be left alone, to face their business. They are not like the IPOB crew on Nairaland who like insulting everyone that does not share their myopic views...

nkwuocha:
Let him do please. Your neighbours landlord indeed

Yes, o!! Do you want me to post the news report here? It happened a few years back. That event left my neighbour quite shaken. He hurriedly relocated to Lagos after that incident, and rented the flat next door to mine. Hehehe.....

nkwuocha:
My parents house was recently burgled by Yoruba miscreants. Even with the barb wires, these hooligans won't let my old parents be .
Innocent couple that struggled all their lives, yet this people whose parents prefers to party than train their kids when my dad was training his won't let him be. Anyway some Yoruba youths (also thieves themselves) caught the boys. By next week I go out electric for the barb wire.

Eeyah! And my neighbour's landlord in Onitsha was also kidnapped by hoodlums. They were all speaking Igbo as they demanded 25 million from his family. I will ask him to put electric barb wire on his fence as well... Do you think it was those Yoruba miscreants that instructed their fellow Igbo hoodlums across the Niger, to carry out this dastardly act?

Kc3000:
Lmao....dude, you're still tragically spinning out of control and your last ditch effort is to twist my words in a futile attempt to give them new meaning.

For the last time, as stated earlier, Soyinka, and even other delegates from Nigeria on separate occasions, had approached Biafrans to convince them to abandon the secession idea.

It's quite hilarious that you are desperately trying to save face by now claiming I stated "Soyinka abandoned Biafra". How could he abandon something he never supported, which is what I've been out to prove the entire time.

Obviously, you're simply trying to play stupid.

Guy, am happy that everyone can read all the posts and responses on this thread, including your own. The only one trying to play stupid here, is just you. So clap for yourself. You are the one who shot yourself in the foot earlier on, and is now trying to save face. Stop digging yourself further into the hole you created. But you don't have to take my advice, though.

Now, are you trying to deny that you did not use the word 'abandon' in relation to Soyinka's efforts to broker peace? A person you claimed was trying to "convince others to abandon Biafra," must have abandoned Biafra before trying to convince others to do so, not so? Can you see how ridiculous your ramblings are? The same person who you have disparaged as convincing others to abandon Biafra, was jailed for 2 years for trying to broker peace in your region. If he had succeeded in his efforts, maybe 3 million souls on either side of the divide would still be alive today. Now, like I asked you the last time, when are you going to be man enough to tender an apology to Soyinka?

opal4real:
The word Yoruba orginated during or after the Kiriji war. Each tribe in the now SouthWest has different names for their tribes.

The most General word used to describe the people of South West was Lukumi or Ulkumi or Olukumi. Most Yoruba's in the West Indies still refer to themselves as Lukumi.

The Ugbo's are different from the Igbos. The Ugbos they were chased out of Ife by Prince Ekaladerhan aka Oduduwa are the Ilajes in present day Ondo state.

Guy, save your breath. Everyone has been telling them the exact same thing that you are saying here, but no... they prefer to manufacture a non-existent attachment that is blatantly fake, between the Nd'Igbo and the people of Ile-Ife. Silly revisionists!

Alcatraz005:
This 4th class citizen position awolowo put the Igbo's is worse than genocide. Yorubas will always hit u where it hurts. Move over, mediocre man!

He has said that they don't know what they truly want. You should be pitying him, nah....

dealslip:
This is the reason why Afonja are very skeptical in joining you in any struggle. A couple of guys like you are so selfish. These guys just wasted their live supporting an erractic Ojukwu who wasn't convinced about a cause he started

True!!

allhavesinned:
I keep telling Ndi Igbo that Yorubas are the main enemy and not the Northerners, at the mention of Biafra or Igbo, Yorubas will first comment as if without Biafra Yorubas won't exist, check vanguard, premiumtimes, nations and even nairaland. Ndi Igbo here in Nairaland, let's SAY NO to NAIRALAND and boycott NAIRALAND and create something different and I will sponsor. Also please NDI-IGBO on Nairaland share this message of hate to FB, Twitter, Instagram , I have screenshot the message and will share it.

Eewo!! How many times will you guys threaten to boycott Nairaland? Oya, I dare you...boycott it, and let us see what will happen. Those of us who are not Yoruba, know that all these threats are empty ones.

This was the same way many of your folks claimed they were boycotting NL about two years ago. They deactivated their monikers, then sneaked in through the back door to re-register again on NL, using different names! All the chaps who ran away then, are all back now ...NL is their drug, and you guys are the addicts. Hehehehe......

Pleeeeeeease I need update on Twist of Fate,Nepa just did their worst when Abhi was about shooting the Arrow.Did he shoot it?somebody please update meeee!!!!!

Yes, he shot the arrow and set the Ravana statue on fire. But then he saw Pragya tied up, as he looked through the flames. Then he rushed in to save her...

simplycarro:
See why I don't take this Ipob folks serious really?

Abeg, just siddon dey look dem. They want their own country, but they are NOT ready to leave Nigeria, especially Yoruba land. I have always said it. The 'juju that you Yoruba people cooked for them, must be a very potent one. Please share the secret with those of us from other ethnic groups!

ObaKlaz:
They MUST get their BIAFRA by the grace of God almighty! Any other tribe that wants to opt out should be encouraged. Let whatever remains of NIGERIA BE RESTRUCTURED. I'm sick & tired of one particular tribe playing the victim card and blaming every other tribe for its own woes all the time!!!

Aa-aa-amen!!

ObaKlaz:
I, a non-yoruba man (surely non-Igbo/Biafran either!) who's lived in the South-West almost all his life, have observed with keen interest how very vile, sentimental, emotional, unabashedly hateful and severely delusional SOME OF these Biafrans can be, especially their e-warriors.

Always quick to resort to insults and term their host's hospitality as COWARDICE. Everyone else but themselves must take the stick for whatever goes awry with them; they'd NEVER look at the man in the mirror!

With the way they all lambasted and said the most derogatory of things on the person of Osinbajo from thread-to-thread today, I wondered how lower can these people sink further!

These people should be granted their Biafra agitation and let there be a structuring of what's left of Nigeria afterwards, PLEEEEASE!

Bros, you just spoke my mind!! Are you psychic? Each time the IPOB crew start their tirade, we know where their problem is coming from. A lot of us non-Yoruba & non-Igbo folks from other ethnic groups, definitely agree with you on this issue! Jisike!
