₦airaland Forum

Duru1:
Please read what you wrote. The era in discourse does not have the idiotic south-south and not all the less unimportant components of today's south-south are integral part of eastern region. Why on earth will a dumbass incorporate non-existing entity such as south-south into an essay pertaining to eastern region or Biafra. I guess you should realize to be honesty with intellectual facts in a public forum such as Nairaland because you do not know who will be watching or reading. In addition, historical facts are always narrated in a perspective manner.

Hater alert! Why can't your people make a rational intelligent contribution to a thread, without descending into the realm of insults and hate, biko nu??

Hehehe .... are Yoruba people the only ethnic group in Nigeria?? Why are some folks so preoccupied with them?Chai! There are over 150 other tribes in this country, oh. Is it that other groups don't count? This thing is becoming an obsession!

The 'juju' those Yoruba people cooked, must be very potent. With so many churches conducting deliverance sessions these days, those that have this problem should seek help, sharp-sharp!

Abeg, wey my popcorn? Na here I keep am just now...

Towards an Ethnicity of Values By Okey Ndibe
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"It is dispiriting enough to run into unlettered Nigerians who can’t see the right or wrong of any issue without first wearing their ethnic or religious lens. It becomes sordid when those who are seemingly educated resort to viewing matters of profound import through the lazy, easy, hardly pertinent prism of ethnic aggregations or religious affiliations.

Such haste to seize and spout ethnic jingoism or religious jingles raises serious questions about the form and content of education in Nigeria. At its best, education is a tool that frees and enlarges the mind, enabling the educated to see matters without the blinkers of ignorance or parochial platitudes....

One is constantly shocked by the ethno-religious name-calling, between different Nigerian groups on Internet forums.

The dirtiest epithets are hurled at the ethnic or religious “Other.”

Those with access to the Internet—many of them, one imagines, university graduates—frequently promulgate ideas that members of other ethnic groups are sinister and diabolical, in short as the very incarnations of evil. In like fashion, these Internet partisans often make sweeping ethical claims for those who belong to their states, ethnicity or religion.

Such claims, whether they denounce or extol whole groups, are caricaturist in nature. They have little or no validity, even when they appear persuasive or seductive. In fact, we should recognize them as inimical to the cultivation of a broad base of enlightened society.

I have argued elsewhere that ethnic baiting and stigmatization often precede genocidal horrors. The free circulation of ideas of the inherent villainy of members of other ethnic groups, and the inherent moral goodness of members of one’s own ethnic collectivity, is a clear and present danger.

Those who champion such attitudes are ever reluctant to subject their positions to self-scrutiny.

They seldom pause to interrogate the legitimacy of their notions of collective guilt and collective heroism. Without any form of examination, ethics is collapsed to the size and shape of ethnicity"......

Okey Ndibe, I salute you for this piece! In fact, you deserve a national award. You echoed my sentiments, exactly.

You need to spend one week in the 'politics' section on Nairaland, and I swear that you will find perfect examples of people displaying all the traits listed in the highlighted portion, of your comments.

Some of them have 1st, 2nd or even 3rd degrees in various disciplines, yet their affinity for using subjective analysis to attack other ethnic nationalities, betrays an inherent pathological disorder.

cheruv:
Ye'd prove you again and again..
Ruo mgbe ozodimgba ndi a bi n'odida anyanwu gākwusi iku aka n'obi n'elu Biafra

Hehehe..... Nothing wey person no go see for here.

Your campaign of hate can never win any converts to your cause, or sympathy for Biafra. Continue hating.

In fact, it makes others look down on your group. Psychology 101.

ItsMeAboki:
You got to be kidding, see the real Biafran army in hard training today, LOL! stop deceiving yourselves

Go to Oji River when you get to the East, and see the fate that befell the last set of Biafran veterans in the civil war. A word is enough for the wise.

cheruv:
I can't imagine you're being stvpid just for sweetlemon's Toto

How sad! Kindly get your mind out of the gutter! Can't imagine any well-brought up person with good home training, posting what you just did up here... Did your folks at home do a poor job raising you? Just asking.

Because you just proved my point again, that you and your people are filled with hate! Keep up the good work!

adellam16:
I'm a lady not a guy. Besides u should notice dat d name up dere is not hers! U both r not getting it. Even wen I replied I said U DIS OP first because I was talking to him not her. U r still pointing fingers dat I insulted HER. Read my first comment, I was talking to HIM. Geez

Ok, we have heard. No vex.

1bunne4lif:
i don't think south-south or whatever you call your selves can be found in any map F*CK YOU

Chai! Another hate-filled rant. Chukwu biko! What kind of children are being bred these days, that have stumbled into Nairaland??!

adellam16:
I also reacted to wat d poster put up dere! I went thru d posts but I mostly saw people rebuking d poster which was normal! I responded cos I was angry as it has become a habit of most nigerians. All dey do is snap and post with no accurate info! Den out of d blues fast fingers our aunty, came out and insulted me. I never knew she existed now dat she produced d pics. As a mature lady she could ave ignored as it was obvious people tot it was d op dat took d pic. She just started ranting and sending insults. Nobody quoted her or knew her. Instead of acting like u, she just started fighting wit d world and acting like a child. Haba!

Guy, I understand. But if na you dem dey curse like dat, you go keep quiet?? She reacted.

It is only natural. Oya, its' enough. Peace.

adellam16:
after u must ave committed suicide, ur not so daft afterall, u know how to spell too.

Please back off. Its' enough!

Fastfingers:
Beech? Oh puhlease! It's 'B-I-T-C-H' Please spell with me: B-I-T-C-H.

Yes I am a B-I-T-C-H. A RICH B-I-T-C-H so you can go and die *in oshiomole's voice*

Babe, Babe, Ba-abe, how many times did I call you??! Abeg, e do! You have tried your best. Now leave the rest to God.

I don't know you, but something tells me that the reason you exhibit so much passion here, is because you have a caring heart.

Biko, let go. Those who do not want to understand the truth, never will.

No point flogging the matter. God will vindicate you.

adellam16:
check out ur reaction on d first post by d OP. Dat was mine too. Tell madam fastfingers dat she was not I was talking to as she was not d OP tho na she give am d news, I never knew she existed

Yes, that was my initial reaction. I do not deny it.

But in my case I read through all the posts in this thread, before jumping to that conclusion. Fastfingers had not posted a comprehensive picture of what happened as at that time. It was after I had made that post, that she then came online a few days later to give the full story. That was when I advised her to go back to the OP and ask him to post an update on the very first opening post on this thread.

When it comes to matters of life and death, I go ballistic because a lot of people have very little regard as to what it means to offer emergency care in this country. A few minutes can mean life or death for a person, in a critical condition. In another country, that man's life would probably have been saved, if someone had offered prompt, timely medical attention at the scene, immediately the accident occurred.

Do you know how many people have lost their lives, because those who should offer them emergency treatment to stabilise their condition have failed to do so??

How much is it going for? Pls confirm.

Philistine:
Another Yolober fool spewing thrash from his ewedu infested mouth! Whether u like it or not SS is part of Biafra and there is nothing u can do about it.

More hate-filled comments being released online..!

cheruv:
She's talking as if imperial Biafra is behind the madness that runs in her family

Hater alert!

Chai! Going through all the posts on this thread was exhausting! Phew...

Onye iberibe


Forde and Jones (1950) [3] had categorized these as
follows:
Ibibio proper (incl. Idere etc.): Eastern Ibibio
Annang: Western Ibibio
Efik: Riverain Ibibio
Eket (Ekit) and Oron : Southern Ibibio
Ibeno (Ibino): Delta Ibibio
Enyong (now classified as Ibibio proper): Northern Ibibio

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibibio-Efik_languages

So bitterdemon like melzabull called you, can you tell us again how dumb you're

See what I said about your people and their habit of spewing insults? Couldn't the issue have been clarified without recourse to foul language?

Are Forde and Jones (1950) the sole authorities on classification of the Efik and Ibibio people??! Are their submissions 100% right?

Hehehe ....I guess by calling them 'moronic and dumbass', you will win their support for your cause??

The South-south region is said to comprise of communities located in states typically considered as part of the Niger Delta region: 1. Abia, 2. Akwa Ibom, 3. Bayelsa, 4. Cross River, 5. Delta, 6. Edo, 7.Imo, 8. Ondo, 9. Rivers.

http://forgottendiaries-nigeria-niger-delta..com/2008/09/nigeria-history-of-niger-delta-crisis.html

http://www.nddc.gov.ng/NDRMP%20Chapter%201.pdf

So you can see that there are many minority tribes, both Igbo and non-Igbo, in the South - South.

However, there is another school of thought that does not share this view, and believes that only communities in 6 states make up the South- south zone:

The Political Economy of Climate Change in Nigeria’s South-South Zone by Christopher N. Odock, PhD

......The South-South zone cannot be totally separated from the Niger Delta region, for it is the geographic properties of the Niger Delta that gave the zone its unique political dynamics. If we are permitted to put the relationship between the two in quasi-mathematical terms, we would simply say that the South-South zone is equal to the Niger Delta minus three; where the Niger Delta comprises nine states, i.e. Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo, and Rivers.

If we subtract Abia, Imo and Ondo states, which belong to the South-East and South-West geopolitical zones respectively, we are left with six states that compose the South-South zone

ECOTERRORS:
I hate to comment here but I think onenaira is right, the little boy who is supposed to focus on his Jamb came online to post fake stories. Stop trying to defend the boy but rather tell him to face his studies because ethnic politics wll destroy his soul at that tender age.

You obviously did not understand the intent and content of my post, if you can still say Onenaira3 was right.

deadZONE:
Wesley University of Science and Technology, Landmark University, Rhema University, Samuel Adegboyega University, Paul University, Oduduwa University, Tansian University, Baze University, Obong University, Achievers University and Wellspring University.

i swear i have not heard of most of these schools...
no wonder we have half baked graduates,
no wonder we can sit back and allow an illiterate rule over us.

There is a mistake here. Landmark cannot be on the list! Impossible!

adellam16:
I believe u were not d one dat put up dis topic. I was not talking to u but d original poster. But obviously u r daft to respond and quote me. Cos its only an attention seeking nobody dat responds to quotes dat r not meant for dem. I said d truth. How can a human being c such a tin nd snap it n post and expect people on d internet to help while he was present dere to assist? Haba! Do u have a conscience? And I gave him wat he deserves u r here insulting me. As u don't have a job quote all d people dat insulted d guy and not just me and see what happens since u r a freedom fighter on d internet.

Did you read all the posts in this thread from the beginning? the OP was NOT present at the scene. Fastfingers sent the pictures to the OP because she was present at the scene, and she was one of those who helped to get soldiers to assist the dead man. Two other people were injured in the same accident that claimed the life of this man, and she helped to rush them to the hospital.

The only mistake was that all the full details were not posted online by the OP.

What more do you guys want?

anulaxad:
I wonder are some of you physically blind?

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section. This is clearly highlighted in red for you troublemakers before you guys begin to comment on a thread.

Mods you may not see this , but if you do for the sake of me being a member of Nairaland for three years I would ask you to immediately delete this thread and any other threads that are destined to start a tribal E-war.

Guy, I understand your feelings, but you need to know that all kinds of strange folk exist on Nairaland.

Some come out here to vent their frustrations in cyberspace, after a hard day at work. They lack the courage to face people from other ethnic groups in person, who have made them miserable in the office.

Others have twisted minds that can only get relief after they have abused other tribes to a 'T'. Some are hate junkies, and spewing tribalistic drivel is the only way they can get their fix.

Abeg, just siddon dey look. Pass me the popcorn wey dey dat side...

BuddahMonk:
Yes heavy one for crying out loud

Re-ea-ally?? _{*shaking my head*} Another of those strange folks with their minds beneath their feet, on this thread..!

BuddahMonk:
Then why do you have heavy 0rgasm over Igbos are you one of us ?

Orgasom over...what??! Are you for real?

Dee60:
Electric Meter sells for less than 10 dollars in China. Nigerian 'licensed' companies import it from there and sells in Nigeria at N80,000 (400 dollars).

Indeed 'stealing is not corruption'!

Gullible Nigerians robbed black and blue by previous governments!

As if that is not enough, when the meter goes bad the DISCOS will form ignorance and tell you to buy a fresh one for =N=60k, instead of telling you where it can be fixed or how to fix it! Bad people!

BuddahMonk:
Which objective convo are you having, when they say Igbo leaders are bad Yorubass started feeling funky like Ogun, Oyo and Osun states are eldarados.

Nigeria politicians are evil so Yorubass should stop acting they have gotten any leader since 99 yet Ogun roads are deathtraps while Osun and Oyo workers live of food donation

Where are your so called leaders in West, name them let's check their antecedents

What is my business with Ogun, Oyo and Osun? Do I live there? Am I from any of those states??

What area is this flat located in? Lekki is a big place, oh!

Candyrain:
We are still saying the same thing. Deliverance of these days is being conducted in the bedroom so we are both on track. Sweetlemon why didn't you tell us that you've been with the devil all this while? This guy said he wants to lead you to the Lord

Guy, leave Sweetlemon alone. Stop your close marking. enough is enough.

anachy:
yu re absolutely right cos Biafra will pick igbos alone in south south...
And we shall say bye bye to them, while the yorubas,ijaws and warri will joined the great hausas. To hell with Biafra..
We dnt need them.

You are just as bad as they are..! Cut the crap, pls.

atbu1983:
Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is complete different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

And that goes for you too!

Kalvan:
Yebbos are so desperate to claim the SS lol! Leave us alone Igbos!

Biafra was created in the mind of the lunatic Oshukwu! Biafra IS A FAILED PROJECT!

Can you listen to yourself? What is your problem with their project? Hate will not take you far.

Chigold101:
Do you want them to train in the open?

I wonder when the soldiers will finish smoking biko harams out of simbisa forest.

Pray Biafrans never carry out their threat... Because if up till now Nigerian Government can't stop Radio Biafra from broadcasting in FM I'm this country I doubt if they can stop them when they carry arms

Let them carry it out. ROFLMAO! Abi no be dis junior Eaglet trainee kid play-play soldiers wey dey inside bush, wey we dey see so?

Candyrain:
Not so oooo, I just dey suspect the guy. Seems he wants to do some tappings to.

Haba! I just want to lead her to the Lord.... hehehe!
