Ballmer:
All these senseless Igbo boys on NL. The last time I checked it was your forefather that truncated confederalism by orchestrating the first coup against elected representatives in Nigeria. We all know confederation is way superior to the federalism you are demanding for now. What justification do you have to demand for federalism whether true or false since your fathers destroyed the beta deal Nigeria had as a confederation ?

What we had before the coup was regionalism and not confederaslim, please get your facts right.

Yorubas participated in that coup as well so why call it an Igbo coup?

What is all this nonsense?

7lives:
Yorubas don't need you folks don't you just get it? Yorubas were on on their own for good 16 years, we have master the art of survival in this country, we don't need anything from you guys.
Eni a ba ta ka fi ra atupa to ni owun a ji tan ina wo, no be today e don tey o, Yoruba no need una o, the earlier una understand the better.

Ok, we need una, will you accept us?

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
I am a Yoruba and I do not subscribe to violence but whatever it takes to balkanise this country is welcomed by me.

The question is what can that 'Whatever' be?

The status quo favours the north so much and they will never let go just like that.

So since we don't want violence the best way forward is to have a united south.

I may not like it, you may not like it but that is the fact.

Bodexman:
May God bless your memory. Some short brained people forgot that it takes the Will of God and Obj coupled with the same Tinubu that they so much hate and some states in south west that made Jonathan won the election.

There's has never been anyone who occupied aso rock who was humiliated than Jonathan before he was made the acting president if not for the timely intervention of Obj.

This ipob spill hatred whenever osinbajo is being mentioned yet they forgot that their Messiah (Jonathan) suffered severed humiliation from ordinary Turai or where were they (igbos) when yorubas were protesting in Lagos that they should make Jonathan the acting president?

Yorubas understand politics more than u guys

Jonathan won the elections because he got massive support from the SE, SS, SW and MB, go and check the figures. Buhari got massive support from NW & NE but this was not enough for him to win.

How you are now trying to say that Yorubas gave him victory is so surprising.

All these pastors should keep their 'prophecies' to themselves.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
What is this nonsense about Southern unity that I have been reading/hearing recently. Political alliance between all the tribes in southern Nigeria is a pipe dream, it would NEVER work !!. The farther apart we are, the better for us as a country. As a Yoruba I'll suggest Nigeria be restructured to a confederation of autonomous regions that would determine their own political fate without any recourse to a phantom southern unity. Better still, the complete balkanisation of this country woul suffice.

To restructure Nigeria you would need to amend the constitution and the north will not allow that.

The next option would be to get what you want by force, are you ready?

OJUcrook:
what happened to your agitation for biafra?

Show me where I agitated for Biafra.

limeta:
Just when you think you seen it all.
Igbo,s must be on good thing and the yoruba are hell bent on spoiling it.
SW best remain with the north
SE/SS makes a better south.

This type of thinking is why the north remains king.

Go figure.

jaymichael:
Southern alliance has happened before and it worked. The whole south allied and voted for GEJ. How he singled out the SW for insult and abuse is what I can never figure out. While a particular group was the "backbone" of his administration, the SW and their leaders are "motor park touts"

You don't get the point here.

It worked because he was able to win parts of the north.

Nobody can win just by wining in the north or south alone.

Don't you get it?

this will lead to a stalemate and the resolution will determine the way forward for Nigeria.

Simple.

What happens to the ongoing DPR applications?

lalasticlala please make this more interesting.

Thanks

When it comes to politics you have to give it to the north. No matter how smart we claim to be in the south, the northerners have shown to be smarter in politics.

When it comes to politics, you will not hear, I am Hausa, I am Fulani, I am Kanuri bla bla bla, they all go as one man. The Christians in southern Kaduna surprisingly voted for Buhari who is a Fulani in 2015 despite all the wickedness meted on these people by the fulanis.

When you come to the south, You hear people shouting I am Igbo, I am Yoruba, I am Ijebu, We SS, We Niger Delta, while the north keeps laughing at us.

There is a thread trending now where SE and northern politicians are planning some kind of alignment.

The Igbos should not align with northerners, if nothing, you can see what they are doing to the Yorubas under Tinubu.

How long will we allow the north continue to play the south like football?

The north thrives on the constant rivalry and hate in the south to always have their way.

Just check it, all they need at one time is one region in the south, after they get what they want and you try to rub shoulders with them like Tinubu was trying to do, they just dump you and move to the other region in the south.

Let us drop this mentality of being too smart or sophisticated in the south. The northerners can do without any particular region in the south once they stay as one bloc.

My suggestion is that the south should field an Igbo presidential candidate in 2019. The north will bring Buhari as usual and queue up behind him. This will lead to a stalemate as neither of the candidates can win except something gives.

How this will be resolved will determine the future and finally resolve the Nigerian question.

There is no double standard.

Islamists never declare war on you.

They terrorize you with everything they have while denying that they have anything to do with it.

They were the ones sabotaging the war against boko haram during the last administration .

Under this dullard, they are not fighting boko but giving them free reign to pillage Christian communities in the NE.

All those pics they are releasing showing dead middle aged men with Dane guns claiming they were boko haram are all lies.

They are now killing the Christian ps who took up arms to defend themselves against their bokos.

This is what they did in Bosso, Niger state and in Enugu with the vigilantes that were mobolised to root out the Fulani bastards.

The jihad now has state support in every front.

They want your land, your women and are barring you from any political and military position as well using their distorted economic policies to impoverish the south.

By the time some people wake up it will be too late.

This is serious oo.

The military gave way for the fulani hersmen to attack Enugu and refused to respond to distress calls.

When the youths of the community grouped to engage the fulani, they suddenly appeared and arrested all of them.

Their relatives had to part with money before they were set free.

I learnt that the Japanese government allowed only one mosque in the whole Japan.

If this is true then people are really being proactive.

This same double standard is the reason why the military is reluctant to engage the murderous rampaging fulani herdsmen but always available to shoot unarmed protesters in the east.

A Lagos Igbo like Joe Igbokwe running from his village due to shame.

Exactly.

He has been rejected roundly by Igbos here.

God bless France.

– Several cities in France have banned women from wearing burkinis, a type of swimsuit for Muslim women

– Mayor of Cannes has called the burkini a “uniform of extremist Islamism” The cities of Cannes, Villeneuve-Loubet and Sisco on the island of Corsica have banned the traditional swimsuit for Muslim women.


Burkini’s design is intended to comply with the Quranic instruction for women to dress modestly.

It covers the whole body except the face, the hands and the feet, whilst being light enough to enable swimming.


In August David Lisnard, the mayor of Cannes, banned the swimsuits, citing a possible link to Islamic extremism and disregard for French laws on secularism. He said: “Swimwear manifesting religious affiliation in an ostentatious way, while France and its religious sites are currently the target of terrorist attacks, could create risks of trouble to public order.”


The debate about Islamic dress has become particularly sensitive in France after a series of attacks by Islamist militants, including the murder of a Catholic priest by ISIS supporters, an attack that killed 85 people in Nice and the Paris attacks which killed 130 people last November.


The bans have already caused strong criticism from Muslim groups and anti-discrimination organisations, who argue women have the freedom to dress how they like.


Recall that France introduced a ban on wearing full-face niqab and burqa veils in public in 2010. The country has the largest Muslim minority in Western Europe, which is estimated at 5 million — a total of 5 to 10% of the national population!

The Yoruba woman preacher murdered in cold blood and in the open by Hausa bigots in Abuja because she dared preach in their midst nko?

Has any one been arrested for her murder?

It's statements like these that make me conclude that we have lost the SW forever to the Sokoto Caliphate.

If Hausa mulims can threaten violence in your communities over frivolous nonsense and you cow to their threats then I believe your capitulation to the Islamists is final and already here.

The one you quoted is not Yoruba, he is an abandoned Igbo.

Abagworo:
Use your head for once. The arrest helped save the man and control possible crisis. I guess it was handled well as the man has been released.

You are the one to use your head.

The hausas threatened to commit murder and the police let them go, why?

Were they not ought to have been detained?

I just read that an Igbo man was arrested in Ogun state for naming his dog buhari.

He was arrested because the northerners were offended and threatened to kill him.

How come the police arrested this man for naming his dog whatever he wanted and left the northerners that threatened to kill another citizen?

Why is there so much double standard in Nigeria?

It appears the hausa/fulani are first class citizens and there are laws that apply to others that do not apply to them.

It is also surprising to note that hausas were claiming to be offended on Yoruba soil.

Are they now telling us that they own Ogun state or what?

Mynd44:
Actually the police have a case of breach of public peace if it is found that the suspect has done this to provoke his neighbors.

And yes the police can actuly hold him seeing as some criminals parading themselves as been offended have threatened to kill him if he is released on bail. He is being held for his protection.

Should the police not have also arrested those northerners for openly threatening to kill another citizen?

Or are arrests only for Igbos?

There's so much injustice and double standard in this country.

So OPC has also joined the league of chest beaters and ultimatum givers?

.....

God will punish boko haram and their sponsors.
