Amumaigwe:
If you are sure Yorubas are not cowards, just get Tinubu to condemn the herdsmen menace in SW. Until then, the whole Nigeria know you for your true colour. Thank God Danjuma is not IPOB.

Uchek:
You hailed LegendHero on his postings. But all he posted are personal claims and assertions. No empirical evidence to back his statements. If this was a graduate thesis, it will not be approved.

Please tell him to substantiate his assertions with raw data.

Dedetwo:
A person with intelligence quotient of 5 or below 10 would not even dream of unloading his/her vehicle on an anonymous forum such as Nairaland but you did. I guess this action leaves in the basement of single digit IQ genre. Gowon, Ojukwu and Awolowo is a combined issue left with the people who have well organized social order above their shoulders. You do not seem to fall into such as class.

Dedetwo:
LegendRogue, you are becoming a LegendFool in a hurry. Only a fool will upload a picture of vehicle allegedly belonged to the person without exposing the tags for the record. If I had to upload the picture of my RR Sport or LX570, I had to do it with their tags, which are vanity tags, so that nobody will claim otherwise. By the way, I had a score of more than a genius in Intelligence quotient test yet I do not consider myself as one or do I go to a forum to impugn the intellect level of other contributors on the forum. I have even disagreed with the subject matter of the Intelligence quotient test because it is based on European culture or academic doctrine.

No European will even score zero if the subject matter or materials found on the so-called Intelligence quotient test are based on Yari.ba or Igbo cultural doctrine.

Dedetwo:
LegendRogue.

If you really understood my plank of the argument, please quit posting silly and self indicting comments. You are not the only Nigerian sojourner in USA. There are some of us who have not seen a six figure pay year that kept their apartments and family homes clear of dry leaves. Good a thing you brought back the issue MB in the discuss, I know a couple that are very close me, the dude roles Bentayga and MB GL550 SUV. Yet they have problem let anybody know they have such rides. But your juvenile idiosyncrasy urged you to publicly published a vehicle did not own. By the way, the tags on the aforementioned MB were not displayed. It appears you have pulled down the pictures.

Dedetwo:
LegendRogue,

For the umpteenth times, please use your money to work for you. You claimed to be a six figure professional and drive a MB. I do not troll people. I know a guy who owned two properties in MD. County officials and complex mangers will hit you with fines if you fail keep you place tided up.

Dedetwo:
LegendRogue:

Please do us a favor, rake it. You claimed to be six figure professional therefore the chicken change to retain landscaper or handyman cannot stand a problem. I pay for the dudes who clear my dry leaves when I can do it myself.

Dedetwo:
LegaendRogue:

What standard are you on about? Come to my place of abode in MD and see things for yourself. If you parked your damn vehicle by the curbside, it could denote many stories. However it is a different note when you park your ride on your driveway.

Dedetwo:
LegendRogue:

No, I live in Bariga. Does it matter anyway? You can rake you damn leaves or you use your money to cleanup your so-called residence. A person who claimed to be a six figure professional should be able to retain landscapers or even handyman to have the leaves cleared. You have shown the picture of MB that is supposedly belonged to you yet you live in a rundown complex. I thought your place of abode is a gated community like some folks on this forum. Are you alright? Even faded color cardigans are kept clean. Going by the appearance of your assumed residence, you need to work on your hygiene.

Dedetwo:
I have more than one cardigan and corduroy which are kept in pristine form. I am not clever to know the pictures were taken in your residence but enlightened enough to know that residence is looked like junkyard. Take a good look at the last picture, you readily know that dry leaves were raked and disposed. Heaps of dry leaves all over your residence is a mark of living indeed.

What did you do here, displaying your car etc is infantile. Stop it, haba....yank it off!

[s]LegendRogue, the sleeve you displayed in the MB background is cheap and totally dirty. In addition, your finger nails are not well kept and exposed hand seemed dry. Are you employed in vehicle detailing outfit? Anyway, you are a typical Yari.ba peep. Noise making is second nature to your folk.[/s]

Dedetwo:
There is no educated Igbo that will associate him/her self with any group that goes with BLACK in its name. So your so-called NSBE is an obscure group with no national pedigree. I really doubt you are an Engineer. Please supply the yardstick you used to determine that Yari.ba are more successfully in USA than any ethnic group. Most Yari.ba peeps owe thanks to their daily bread in USA due to Igbo. The only person who chest beat rather wrongly on the forum is you and you alone.

lebron7:
When will nairalanders like you understand that there is no "we" anywhere, you are talking about developing how many plots of land do u have?

joeyfire:
Mohammed Sani Abdul moved the motion not Gbajabiamila Your lies are too many on this site. We see your lies but ignore many of them unless we are in the mood

Who shot down the motion? Was the Speaker of the House Igbo?

joeyfire:
see how you backtracked from your lies that yorubas fought for GEJ and Igbos only came to chop now you want to use microscope to measure irrelevant nonsense. You also used style to dodge the fact of who betrayed Abiola/June 12...smh

See Dora Akunyili in action -

When Information and Communications Minister, Prof Dora Akunyili, presented her memorandum asking her colleagues to wake up to their responsibility to the Nigerian nation, tempers flared and voices were raised. Some of the ministers rose from their seats so their voices would carry in the chambers of the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF). Some rained insults on her. A few asked her if she had weighed the risks of her presenting such a position paper.

There were also threats of sack from those who felt Akunyili should not continue to stay in council after submitting such a strong-worded memo.
Sunday Sun findings showed that the memorandum took the ministers by surprise and if the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, had not had the presence of mind to ask for the copies already in the hands of the members, it would have been difficult to calm frayed nerves at the meeting.

There were 42 copies of the document with all of the members but when the ministers were told to return them, the SGF discovered that three copies were missing. It took another round of search and persuasion before the missing copies were retrieved.
According to one of the ministers sympathetic to Akunyili’s stand, “I salute Dora’s courage because it takes courage to look your boss in the eye and ask him to step down for his deputy. Many of us are also not comfortable with the way things have gone in the country these past two months, which is why we are supporting her.”

fergie001:
Una matter just tire me.
The annoying part is that most of you guys are outside of the country, you guys see how sweet, things run over there. If those people attack you guys over there, we will all unite and shout racism, exact same way we are shouting racism in football and the rest.
Yet, on 'we' own everyday we troll and abuse each other on the saddest times of our history (1967 & 1994).
I don talk, I don tire. I don give up jarey.

joeyfire:
Nobody is saying Soyinka did not march with Tunde Bakare and co. Prominent Igbos like Olisa Agbakoba marched, Odumegwu Ojukwu as old and sick as he was also marched in Abuja. The issue here no be marching matter. An Igbo minister risked everything to battle Yar'Adua's cabal. Because she was inside government she was a million times more powerful than people on the street. Did any yoruba in government fight for GEJ? For that guy to say yorubas (alone) for fought is a rubbish lie.

joeyfire:
These are two of the most frequent lies and propaganda that yorubas tell.

1. Yoruba elders sold Abiola/June 12 to Abacha long before anybody knew what was going on. While likes of Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu and Olisa Agbakoba were risking their lives fighting the military.

2. Was it not Dora Akunyili as minister of Information in the Yar'Adua administration that forced the executive council/cabinet to make GEJ acting president?

People may not always challenge your deception so you can embarrass yourself but nobody is deceived

pazienza:
If the SE pulled out from GEJ in 2011, he was never going to win. SE voters are spread all over the country, you can't use number of voters registered in SE to judge it.
So significant is SE votes that Tinubu made conscious effort to prevent SEners in Lagos from voting in 2019.
SW votes are usually useless, because you don't deliver block votes unless a Yoruba is contesting for the presidential post.
If we subtract SW votes from Buhari numbers in 2015 and 2019, he would still have been the president, you have always been inconsequential in scheme of things as far as election numbers go. Your division into Xtianity and Islam ensure you are incapable of delivering block votes for anyone.

SE never gave GEJ Azikiwe, it was GEJ who did give himself the name, he was the one who came to Enugu and told us he was one of us and narrated the Azikiwe story of his name. At that point in time, many Igbos were working for IBB emergence at that time, with Igbo VP, because of PDP zoning arrangement. It was GEJ who used the apparatus of Nigeria military to scatter Igbo elders meeting in Concorde Hotel Owerri , where the likes of Ekwueme who were of the opinion that we should insist on PDP Northern presidency with Igbo VP, to ensure power returned to SE in 2015 or latest 2019 were disgraced by the military who locked up the hotel venue.
It was after the incidence that Ohanaeze Ndiigbo stepped in and reconcilled the GEJ and IBB factions in Igboland , and there after chose GEJ as the Igbo consensus candidate for the 2011 elections.
Bear in mind that the president of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo at that point in time was an Igbo from Delta state called Ralph Uwaechue.
Saying Ndiigbo hijacked GEJ candidature is nonsense, in retrospect, GEJ hijacked and crushed our 2015 and 2019 presidential ambitions by using Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and Nigerian military apparatus. He forced himself on Ndiigbo and armtwisted us into supporting him, against the better advice of Igbo elders like Ekwueme. Imagine Buhari locking out Igbo elders from a meeting and the outroar it would have generated from Ndiigbo, but that's What GEJ did, and we took it without reactions.

SS is more Important than Ndiigbo to Nigerians? Of course, when you have hijacked all the oil corporations meant for their land and kept the headquarters in Lagos where they employ mostly Yorubas and rendered their seaports deficient. They should be important to you. Ndiigbo are not interested in being important to anyone only slaves crave for such attention, and we are not one, we only want to stay off the negative energy you lots have polluted the dead British colonial entity with, Rwanda and Ethiopia are landlocked and without oil , yet shine brighter than Nigeria, Ndiigbo are so endowed with human resources that we would be just fine without you lots.

The IPOB are lacking on critical thinking now, that's why they have persisted in joining Igboland with the conundrum and babel in SS, all over Igbo forums, Igbo nationalists are strongly against putting Ndiigbo in another ethnically heterogeneous entity post Nigeria. IPOB members are constantly being slammed with facts, and I believe with time, they will bow to wisdom or lose followership in Igboland.

Igbo 2019 presidential ambitions were killed the moment Ohanaeze Ndiigbo reconciled Ekwueme faction with GEJ faction. Every sensible person knew power would return to North before coming to South again, after GEJ. We gave GEJ 98% votes, something SS have never given an Igbo presidential candidate and will never do.

pazienza:
T[b]here was never brotherhood between Ndigbo and SS, no trust whatsoever. It's always been a case of Ndiigbo sacrificing everything to a group of people who only return back suspicions and even hate to us. [/b]
The brotherhood only works when the so called SS are poised to benefit from such, like in GEJ.
If the position is swapped and Ndiigbo need support from those quarters, no support ever came from there. Awolowo and Shagari all got more votes from so called SS in 1979 and 1983 than Zik did. That's how deep their Igbo suspicion run. Some Igbos would play the ostrich on those lots, but not me.

The brotherhood was once between Ndiigbo and the Igboids, and in all honesty, that's the only brotherhood we should be working on, if at all we care.
The so called SS will first have to create a unity amongst over 100 often fighting ethnic groups they have between them . I think Ndiigbo are better off seeing them as nothing but Neighbours, and work on area of mutual interests , as we should with the rest of the world. Simple.

The whole world is Important to Ndiigbo, not just SS. Second fiddle? Come on! Get over yourself. Nigeria is a third world country with most living below poverty line. On the average, Igbos as individuals fare better than most other Nigerian groups, and political power in Nigeria has only benefitted the holders immediate family and circle of friends.

Real Igbos (Biafrans) don't care about Igbo presidency, only Nigerian Igbos do. And they more you lots deny them, the better for the rest of us Igbos, since it would mean they have no option but to run to the rest of us, swell our camp and help us push on with the real long-term solution. A Nigerian president of Igbo extraction will be fatal to Igbo long-term interest. I pray everyday that no such thing as Igbo presidency happens.

pazienza:
No body in your entire ethnic group has produced more intellectuals, both past and present than Igbo traders, neither are you in any way better than Igbo traders yourself.

DMerciful:
The current alignment btw SW and North is enabled largely by religion and I'm not being emotional here. It will take a lot to break this recent alignment because of the religious connotations. From 1960-1999, it was largely the North. Came 1999, a new order of zoning came and the other major players enjoyed their turn. When it got to the Igbos turn, beautiful reasons came how the Igbos are this and that! You don't trust them bla bla bla but insist on one Nigeria

RTSC:
Jonathan was a Southerner running as president.
Ipob was also not a very serious thing then and everybody got behind the ticket.

The only comparable thing would have been if peter obi was running for president.

An atiku running for president is not as exciting as a Jonathan.

DMerciful:
Yorubas got sympathy in 1999 and the Igbos deserve sympathy too [/b]because the reason they've been sideline is because of the 1966 coup which eventually led to the civil war. You know there's a correlation but this has been consistent with your denial of marginalization against the Igbos

DMerciful:
So what are you saying? Igbos shouldn't be treated the way Yorubas were treated cos they don't have any annulled election? What about the civil war where 3 million Igbos were killed using unconventional means against Geneva convention? Yeye dey smell

Osagyefo98:
Why do you guys always deviate from real issues.

Must you guys drag everybody into una mess?

What can be done to Appease you guys in this country, to love others , understand and work in line with others?

What exactly?

Osagyefo98:
Fantastic.

Yorubas addressed as which people...

What's the meaning behind be referred to as Yoruba and at same time to link to her name and culture.

Any details.
