I am proud you

Peace be unto your household bro

[b]Brother calm down! Before you brag put your house in order. Accepted! Even if Nigeria breaks up Igbos will be the ones to suffer the least. However, this is at the initial stage because the Igbos will still have problem with themselves and finally go down the drainage. This means they will be overtaken by Yorubas and, if care is not taken, the Hausas. A typical Igbo man does not want to submit to anybody which is totally against human nature and characteristics; even divine law dictates that someone must lead at one poin in time while others follow. This shows will it is and may continue to be difficult for the Igbos to produce a President in Nigeria. There is nothing Pride can add to you or your tribe, put your house in order! Shall I give you an example? It is very difficult for a Yoruba boy to contest talk more of win the election for the Student Union Presidency of a University in the South-East while an Igbo boy can will the same position in the South-West. You think it is smartness and defending your territory? Have you ever heard of a King reigning in slavery in the quest to enforce his Kingly authority? That is the true picture of the Igbos.

Also, as industrious as Igbos can be and which I quite appreciate them for, an Igbo man can go to any extent because of money if we are not to deceive ourselves. I quite commend the fact that it's vary rear to see an Igbo man begging for alms. However, it is sardonic that quite a number can wear wear clothes of lawlessness in the name of money must be made. By the nature of my profession, I'm sure of my fact!

I can go on and on and on but my advice is that you do a re-orientation among yourselves. I feel if the federal allocation is withdrawn, Igbos will be very competitive against themselves and this will MOST LIKELY be a clog in the wheel of their progress.

Once again, your bragging is of no relevance if you can't put your house in order![/b]

Well I appreciate your advice on putting our house in order but I would like to point out another stereotype from your assertions.
Igbos have regards for constituted authorities and I would like you to prove me wrong with facts.
The kingship has been a tool of governance in Igboland till date. We elect people to lead in every corner of the world we find ourselves. That is why you hear things like Eze ndigbo in Lagos, Texas etc. Under Ojukwu's command, we fought the war to show you our level of fellowship. The peaceful demonstration of Nnamdi Kanu's arrest proved most people wrong. Some were saying that we can't close shops for protest. We still have governors that we only unseat by democratic process. Why do you think that this would change if we are to govern ourselves? An average Igbo man only hates any form of intimidation no matter where it is coming from.

Now on your example of a student contesting in the east, I have a question for you. How many tribes have followed the Igbos in national integration by living in every corner of the country. I tell people that we act more Nigerian than any other tribe. We go to the west, live peacefully and build mansions there which is actually robbing us of economic growth in our region. How many yorubas have houses in Igboland. The stereotype has made them to believe that we are bad. Have you heard that Igbos killed a yoruba man before? Just look at Lagos for example and see how we have contributed to the growth of the state. I had a yoruba friend while I was in the university. He was even getting more love than majority of us. We are not violent in nature but we are always bold in fighting off any form of deliberate attack on us.

South West brothers pushed us into this mess.
Can someone give what he doesn't have?

How you expect an illiterate to bring excellence or a detector to govern in democratic system beats my imagination.

Before he was elected, has Buhari ever said anything to promote peace in the country?

We normally hear people like OBJ, IBB visiting other regions to promote peace.

Remove assistance from federal government, no tribe can beat Igbo in any human endeavour.

Just mention that sector you think. Unless the Igbos are not into it. It's not bragging. People do have some inherent characteristics and NEVER GIVE UP is one undeniable characteristics of the Igbos.

The Igbo boy selling gala on the street has a strong will to own gala factory. He puts his energy into whatever he believes in.

That's who we are.
Igbo ndi oma kwenu

Enough is enough. We have to take back our country.
Restructuring and accountability is the way forward.

Nigeria is not structured for accountability. The earlier you folks get that into your heads the better for you.

Second, the value system of certain ethnic nationalities in this country is grossly opposing to that of the rest. So the real fantasy here is the illusion of one nigeria.

Third, THIS STRUCTURE CANNOT WORK EVEN IN A 1000 YEARS. So no more time to waste in the fraud of a country. Either do something fundamental about the structure now, or regret your delusion and innaction sooner than you think.

Finally, what do you expect from the selfdeluding "igbotic" man parading as charleyboy who by the way was given much but only has so little to show for it.

Mind you, upon all his assertion of igboticness, he still addresses igbos as "ibo". Basic dumbness/lie buster.

I stopped taking the idiot serious when he said IBO.
He needs attention as always. What has he contributed in making Igbo land a great place?
The idiot didn't pause to study the country. When some states were created just to destabilise the East. Most policies issued out just to destroy the people. Just take a look at the proposed loan by the Buhari administration and his budgets so far.
When Portharcourt seaport is closed just to target Igbos. When Obasanjo closed down Ibeto cement. There is corruption in every part of the country but the worst is when the central government deliberately sidelines a people. He doesn't know the origin of the migration to other parts.

seunmsg:
It makes no danm sense. The CBN governor can as well loot the entire foreign reserve and start an industry with the loot, right? If we legalise corruption today, only the elites who are in public office will benefit. They will loot your future and that of your children today. In the next few years, the country will be so broke that there will be nothing left again to steal.

Fighting corruption is never going to be easy but we have no alternative than to continue battling the scourge. That Buhari failed a major test in the fight against corruption by clearing Babachir Lawal doesn't mean we should then legalise corruption. Nigerians must realise that the war on corruption is one that must be won in the long run.

So this is what you deduced from his position?
Shame

sarrki:
Ojukwu is a fraud star

Even Nnamdi Kani is a terrorist

Shame on you.
I thought you had brain.

Ok

nrexzy:
My igbo people shaaa i srill dont understand d relarionship between trump and biafra

Ordinarily I would say it is madness but in fighting for freedom, you need awareness and sympathy of others. Especially when you are adopting the peaceful style of IPOB. It's a global world and the news will surely go beyond Nigeria

aljharem:
Who asked the IPOD to fight for us ? It is not by protesting on the street. Just watch as things will plan out !!!

I suggest IPOD follow our method of doing things.

The method that installed Emir in kwara state you mean?

Good

blackpanda:
Can u please provide any evidence that they were not armed

Go school you no agree go, close mouth and hide your ignorance you say no.

The burden of prove is on he that alleges.
I can't say that you are a criminal and ask you to prove that you are not.

No can you do yourself a favour by hiding yourself and stop exposing your ignorance.

God bless Sanusi on this.

Lovely finished

What you plant, that you reap.

I didn't see any Nigerian wish Yaradua dead even at the critical stage.

It is bad to wish anyone evil let alone the president.

But in all honesty, how do you pray for a man who hates peace? A man who has been silent on the plight of southern kaduna people.
A man that ordered the killing of his fellow citizens in zaria because they are not of the same sect with him. A man who killed peaceful protesters in Aba.

No peace for the wicked.
Safe trip anyway.

Our political parties have a way of leaving us to make a choice of two bad options.

I don't think any other leader would be more divisive and at the same time clueless like Buhari.

I can manage anything but Buhari.

Just look at the way he responded to Gambia impasse but has been conspicuously silent on fulani herdsmen from 'Libya'

Sanchez01:
In all national competition, Messi has 57 goals, while Ronaldo, 68.
Competitive games, Messi has 30, while Ronaldo has 54.

Messi was able to edge closer to Ronaldo because he scored more friendly goals than Ronaldo and then fizzle out in important matches.

Messi is good, no doubt, but he is a shadow of himself when it comes to international matches. Age has nothing to do with goal scoring. We have seen so many late peakers in the game. Bring up stats to buttress your claim against Messi being the difference in Argentina.

Fizzle out you say?
Have you ever compared their goal per game ratio?
What exactly or what difference does Ronaldo bring to Portugal that Messi doesn't give to Argentina. He was only unlucky to miss the last copa trophy. He scored 5 goals and created 4 assists. If we are truthful, we both know that Messi had a better outing than Ronaldo with Portugal at the euro. Don't tell me he won euro. He wasn't even on the pitch and we have seen small countries win euro. .....Greece in 2004.
Messi was voted the best in 2005 under 20 world cup and was again voted the best in 2014 world cup. He was also the best in 2015 copa. That is the influence a player has. Tell me any tournament that Ronaldo was named the best.
Ronaldo or any other player can have a better year than Messi but no one can better him as the Golden boy of this generation.
Make your research, we have Pele, Maradona and Messi fighting for the GOAT.
Ronaldo is playing catch up with Messi.
Age has a lot to do in football. ....your years increase your number of games and improves your stats.
Messi won everything individually at just 28

Sanchez01:
The truth is, Messi leaving Barcelona would be the very death of him. He does so well in Barcelona because people work for him, something the club's director said that made the club sack him recently.

If one would compare the Messi of Argentina and that of Barcelona, you would see a very sharp difference. Argentina is a star-studded side, yet they struggle even with the presence of Messi in the team. I've always said one thing about Guardiola from the outset; he is good but not as good as the world think he is.

Your argument lacks merit.
Messi is currently the highest goal scorer for Argentina at the age of 29.
Truth is that Messi makes the difference. Mourinho said that. Plying your trade in one club doesn't make you a bad player. Moving around doesn't make you a better player either.
Raul achieved success in just one club until after 30 years. Does this your point make Ryan Giggs a bad player?

Star boy and the dictator

oluFELAxy:
Tell her you are a CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY

This got me cracking

Not in Nigeria
Good points though.
Policy
Organisation
Planning
Measurement
Audit
Review

Everything you wrote falls within these five points

The reason I'm replying you is cos you said "this is a guy who catches fun with whatever he does "

I don't know much about him apart from his songs which I like, I don't follow him on social media or whatever and as such, do not know how he plays. I made that comment cos I have seen too many people travel out and celebrate it as an achievement and I usually see it as some sort of complex problem. Of course, the standard of living, social amenities and all, can't be compared with what we have at home but then, I'm averse to anything that makes the black man want to treat the white man's land as heaven. I've seen people travel to Libya and South Africa and their folks at home celebrate it like... My reaction to the video was as a result of what I'd seen before.

On the flipside of things, I also understand that people have different hustles and struggles, and it might necessitate them behaving in certain ways.

Your last line is just the summary of the whole thing. You just can't authoritatively say you know why people act the way they do.
I am not trying to shield our complex but then this is not just peculiar to Africans alone. I know many whites that are way too enthusiastic about visiting Africa. To them, it is the best feeling one can ever get and they do brag with it. Even when they come here, they find interest in most of the things we overlook. You see them taking pictures of masquerades and other ancient things.
Back to Africans, it is only lately that Africans started travelling for leisure. In the past and most recently, migration has always been solely for economic reasons. We just can't deny the fact that grasses are greener outside the shores of this country.
I try to be rational in judging things. In some homes, they celebrate anyone that gains admission into any tertiary institution but in my place, it is seen as an abomination if you don't acquire a degree before venturing into anything you want.
It is a world of class and most times we exhibit behaviours peculiar to our social class, education, religion etc
One love Bro.

chronique:
I know your type... Always too forward and never having sense. Where I come from,nobody celebrates traveling out as an achievement and it has nothing to do with status or money or whatever;it's just who we are. Yes,first time experience would make you take pictures,record videos and all that... But definitely not shouting "mama,I don touch snow,those way say we nor go travel,we don finally travel"... Dude already achieved bigger things by signing a 4million dollar deal. If you don't want to be quoted,you should be sensible enough to mind your busniess and not quote me either.

Guy sue yourself. ...I mean carry your head go court.
Must everyone behave like you or whatever family you come from?
This is a guy that catches fun with whatever he does. If you don't take it for the fun it is then do the needful and take your case to court.
Enough of this harum-scarum ranting here.

woodcook:
I agree with your positiion but as @helpee stated everyone from day one believed Jammeh cant and shouldnt win the election. With such reaction did you think that Jammeh would even if he tries believe he would get a fair hearing if he steps down? You may atrribute it to him being played by the system he helped set up for 22 years but then he is human and as fearful as anyone.

I honestly hope and pray the country finds a peaceful way out of this mess.

I share your sentiment as well Bro but whatever the public opinion on the issue is, there is no shortcut here. Even if he gets support from other leaders, the bottom line is that he lost and the ultimate thing is that he must step aside to either accept the outcome or contest it.
This is why the rule of law must prevail in any democracy. OBJ used this line to rig elections those days. The idea was to influence INEC and declare PDP the winner of most of the polls. And funny thing is that the burden of proof is on him that alleges.

Drama
So na Lai mohammed want go locate the girls wey army men no find for over 2 years.

Tax payers money going down the drain.
Chai Chai Chai

This country na pure scam

helpee:
Let us for once refuse to follow the general consensus. What if jameeh is right that the election is rigged? What is the way out? Why are the other leaders shutting him out without a fair hearing? The solution is not always war. What the ecowas leaders should do is to give everybody fair hearing...1) by helping the tiny nation with judges that can speedily hear their cases at the supreme court. 2) if need be, reorganize the election under strict reviews monitoring. The guy also deserved a fair hearing and there is a reason why electoral disputes are taken to court. What we are all saying is that he couldn't ever win. The electoral body is not infallible so the rule of law should be allowed to prevail not force

Bro the law is clear on this. You can't keep your seat after losing a contest. The handover date is sacrosanct. He has the right to contest the outcome of the election in court so he must step aside pending the determination of his suit. Have you not seen incumbents lose election in this country and still contest the outcome. Imo state in 2011 and Kogi state in 2016

Sanchez01:
Nonsense. Where were you when Namadi Sambo was asking people in the North to vote the PDP for being an Islamic Party, and that Buhari is not a core Muslim fellow for choosing a pastor as his running mate?

This is a dumb statement.
Only newbies take electioneering talks serious.
More like a guy promising a lady his father's land just to chop her kpekus. Follow politicians by their actions not what they say during elections.
Didn't someone promise to make dollar equally to naira?

kings09:
He z born again muslim

Lol

Respect to our fallen heroes.

I mean those that carried out their duties professionally. Not those rapists.

Government magic.
