Iamgrey5:
They were rebels to Biafra and allies to Nigeria

I was only trying to be politically correct.

How about you be realistically correct?


Was Adaka Boro not murdered like a rebel by the Nigerian forces. Till this day has he been honored by Nigeria?

Iamgrey5:
Was there any division in Benin or Ijaw ?

Or you don't actually know how the civil war happened.

What happened was mission led by Adekunle from Lagos to take back ijaw through the ocean with the help of some local ijaw rebels who were not thrilled about being in Biafra, same thing happened in Benin.

By "Some local Ijaw rebels" you mean ADAKA BORO and his cohorts, who thought fighting against Biafra was fighting for the Niger Delta region and course.

It's surprising Nigeria saw them as rebels rather than allies..

OAFMods:
But I don't see write epistle such as this when Lugard was being blamed. How come all of a sudden that Ironsi as been exposed as the foolish n cursed soul that unified the regions for solely his own selfish gain just like many of his selfish tribesmen would have done that is when you are able to locate your writing utensils ?!

Moreso, should a deserving punishment not be meted on the party that brought about the misfortune we all are trying to correct now before moving on.

After Ironsi was assassinated, Nigeria had;
Murtala Mohammad
Yakubu Gowon
Olusegun Obasanjo
Shehu Shagari
Mohammadu Buhari
Ibrahim Babaginda
Adbulsalam Abubakar
Sani Abacha
Ernest shonekan
Umaru Yaradua
Goodluck Jonathan, et al
As subsequent heads of State. Since what Ironsi did was unacceptable and wrong, why didn't these above mentioned heads of state take us back to regional government, why..?


Can you now see Nigeria have no excuse not to have right the alleged unacceptable wrong of Aguiyi Ironsi? They had ample time and chances but failed to do the right thing


That's how people that sold their vote for #5000 will come out and say "God will punish Lord Lugard"....!

Miracle2020:
And Igbo Man naturally have the spirit of greediness, he always wants to have what others have but he hate when other try do the same thing.
Because of greediness, zik push for amalgamation
Because of greediness Ironsi decided to bring unity government because at that time igbos region wasn't producing anything, only the north and west were doing good in agriculture. At that time majority of government officials and military officers were igbos so he thought igbos will continue to rule others.
Because of greediness ojukwu decided to embark on a foolish war with the federal republic. When ojukwu discovered that the Niger delta has some oils, he wanted to have everything.
When Niger delta decided to break from Nigeria, ojukwu arrested their leader(BORO) and imprisoned him because he (ojukwu) want to have the Niger delta oil.
Ojukwu greediness led to the dead of 3 million igbos.
When Tafawa Balewa was the prime minister, many of his officials were igbos. Upon that, the igbos were not satisfied, they went ahead to killed him and other northern/Western leaders.
The yorubas and the north decided to accept and accommodate the igbos after the war but now the igbos want to take over the Yoruba land because of their usual greediness.

Read your books you won't read
Look at what you wrote and how you wrote them and tell me it doesn't look like a primary 4 pupil write up

Firstly, how was it Zik that push for amalgamation?
How old was zik at the time the Southern and Northern protectorate were amalgamated?

Where did you draw your conclusions that it's because of Niger Delta oil that Ojukwu arrested and charged Adaka Boro?

Adaka Boro is of Ijaw root. He schooled in UNN and also contested for the position of SUG president, which he won. If the Igbos were repulsive of him do you think he would have graduated or even allowed to contest that position in Igboland.

Also did the so called Adaka Boro have the consent of Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Binis, et al prior to his rebellious secession?, Since he wanted to form Niger Delta republic

What were the component states that made up Adaka Boro's Niger Delta republic?

Since Adaka Boro hated the Igbos so much to form an alliance with Nigeria and fought against Biafra, why did Nigeria assasinate him like a piece of trash after the war?

Why was Adaka Boro not awarded his Niger Delta republic after he fought alongside the Nigerian forces against Biafra?

Also did you say the East or Igbo contributed nothing to national growth prior to the war?

Kai, you need oooooooo

Sir, the only info I have about traveling to Cotonou at the moment is what I shared in my earlier comment.... I heard vehicles at mile 2 are faring passengers at a cost between 25k - 30k. Please, let's be clear with "I HEARD" I have not personally gone to Cotonou through that medium neither do I know anyone who did.... CHEERS

They must be mad for charging such outrageous fee. Cotonou that I spend less than #5000 on t.fare from Iyana iba

Before you say it's fallacy, I lived in CTOWN for 6years and ran my undergraduate program there.

valirex:
@bolded don't do that again

There was no place where I counted Anioma as Ẹdo, if I counted them as Ẹdo I won't put your people as number one. Learn to pick your fight properly. If I am anti Igbo I will put you guys below Yoruba and Hausa and there is possibly nothing you can do about it but rant, but I didn't.
Ẹdo is not a tribe but an Ethnic group.

I thought Edo is a state!. When did they translate to an ethnic group or tribe.

In Edo we have Esan, Bini, Etsako, et al. Are they of the same ethnic group?

Some folks here are of the argument that if the Igbos are as densely populated as you purport then they should have an influence on who becomes the president, and I ask, HOW MANY IGBOS CARE ABOUT NIGERIA POLITICS OR THE PRESIDENCY?, HOW MANY OF THEM CARE TO VOTE DURING ELECTION?

Maybe we should organize a referendum and put the real population of the Igbos to test..

I also heard and know during election period the people in the northern part of the country Register underage children, open our borders to people from Niger rrepublic to come vote in our elections.

Ordinarily, considering the weight of terrorism in the north, their demographic is suppose to reduce and not increase or even stabilize.

O wrong naw

BaddieFreak:
Wait and hear what your family head has to say. Whatever your family head says will let you know the next step. I am sure your family head will be considerate

When you say "family head", do you mean the first son of the family

Arrewa:
When a herdsmen commit any crime... You'll stereotype the whole Fulanis.

But when your brothers down east commit crimes... You'll all pretend as if nothing happen.

I didn't see you on this thread today.

You'll not comment here cos it didn't happen in zamfara village.

https://www.nairaland.com/6306342/panic-gunmen-kill-siblings-imo#96918767

Fulanis are blessed!!

We have criminals among us doesn't give any brainless goat the right to stereotype the whole Fulanis.

We are great people... The most influential black people in the world.

Every ethnic group has its fair share of bigots, and so does every religion has its extremists. The danger is adopting these irrational or agenda-driven members as the voices of the entire group. Doing so makes you exactly what you seek to fight.

The jallohs are God's own people!! We always win!!

Winning is our culture!!

Actually you're lying...
You Fulanis are animals, dirty, low cerebral, stagnant, illeterate, low life, violent people that shouldn't live amongst high cerabral and civilized people like the IGBOS or YORUBAS.

The rest of Nigeria are just waiting for 2023 when power would return to the south. We go show Una pepper.

The Fulani tribe is never an influential tribe. Infact the fulani tribe is a minority tribe in Nigeria

OfficialAPCNig:
NW has lowest unemployment rate in the country. Can your SW beat their 10%?

Have you heard of quota system?

Nwanne do you know how it's helps the north at the detriment of other regions?

How many private own big gigs companies are in the north compared to the south?

Do you know how many indigenous and foreign-owned companies/industries we have in Lagos and Ogun state?

How can a region salvaged by terrorism and poor human development index thrive better than a region that suffers no terrorism activity and has experience consistent and progressive growth in the last 20 years?

Next time compare the whole NORTH against SW. Even at that dem no still reach

Low employment index, inukwa...
In the SW entrepreneurs are springing out of everywhere, in the so called NW the government is absorbing them (thanks to quota system) to reduce the rate of unemployment and terrorism

OfficialAPCNig:
Do you understand what literacy rate mean?

NW is leading in literacy rate in Nigeria despite having the largest out of school children. I am still confused how those guys achieved that high literacy rate.

Insult the North all you like, it doesn't take away the fact that we don't accord them enough respect.

10% unemployment rate
Near 0% HIV prevalence rate

Northern families are currently stocking enough food that will last them till this time next year and you think, SW is better than them?

Una need help.

Comparing SW with NW is a very big insult..
I'm Igbo and the only ethnic group that can rival the Yorubas and their regions is the IGBOS.
Not NW, them too small abeg

No be only Kaduna nah Kafanchan.
Who doesn't know that the infrastructure the north enjoys today is borne out of federal presence in that regions.

Those folks are so poor, that's why they're scared to the bones
I can't even argue this, it's a waste of argument.
Every folk from the north should bury their head in shame...

NW and SW keh...
Insult of the highest order!!

Let wait till 2023.....
E go too shock them

If he likes he should even remove the VP -Osibanjo and replace him with a Northerner. We shall upturn everything come 2023 and there's nothing Buhari or any Northerner can do about it

Zzor:
SMH , he's just a redpiller on a normal duty.

Lolz..
Zzor

Be calming down small small because I'm beginning to like you...

These are all Photoshoped..
The North is safe and habitable
Lies everywhere

This is fake news ..
Not true
People just want to discredit Nigeria's reputation in the global community..

Lai Mohammed you need to come debunk this fake news
The north is completely safe

This is a lie.
Not true
It didn't happen, it's fake report.
Bokoharam didn't kill anybody
As a matter of fact the North is peaceful and everyone is going about their normal business

Carchoice:
You nor get mind. Lol


Back then ma would wake me up to use stone to fire it and send it away. It works, once you hear it don’t waste time to hear another of the it’s weird sound. Use stones to send it away. Nor fear, it won’t change into human or demon.

Something wey I no know where e come from and why e dey there.
No be sey the bird dey on top my roof, nah for another person roof e dey.

The same spot wey I see am last night nah the same spot wey em go mount again tonight dey cry like all this bush baby for the roof...

Nah weytin you want mey I use carry stone dey target...

Uniquekriss:
Just carry sand pour them, they'd treck back to their base instead of flying, that's if they ever find their way from there we go know weda na ordinary owl or not. Y would an owl disturb your sleep bush don finish?

My brother the thing tire me ooo..
I've lived here for more than two decades and I've never experienced any thing like this.


There's isn't any bush around/in my locality.
Though I know it's nocturnal bird
But...............

Patented:
You probably have rats around hence the presence of the owl or maybe it has a nest nearby.
An owl is just an owl. Like a dog or a cat or a lion it was created by God and is nocturnal. All this killing of owls is superstition not spirituality.

Just leave it alone the same way u would leave a robin alone.

I understand..
I've lived for more than two decades in this side and I've never experienced an activity like this before


So it looks strange to me...

I really don't give much considerations to scenarios like this one.

I really don't know what the presence of an Owl holds but I know it's not a good sign. There's this owl that has appeared and stationed itself at a building next to my apartment, a fence stands as a barrier between my house and this other house . The Owl is making this screeching noise- like it's calling unto something.

It made this noise from around 6pm yesterday till 6:30am this morning. When I woke up in the middle of the night to go urinate it, It was still making that noise..

Now it has returned again but this time they're more than one. I was told one time that the presence of an Owl mean death.

Does anyone have knowledge of these things?

NB: There were people ( an Igbo family) living in the compound before but vacated the compound two months ago. I don't think anyone lives there currently.

Pardon my long submission.

I really don't give much considerations to scenarios like this one. I would have dropped this in the religion section, but I feel the topic wouldn't garner the momentum of discourse I want.

GreyLaw:
Buhari and his appointees are hardly likeable. They made a mistake in using deadly force to quell the protest, and any other government could have made that mistake. How how about simply apologising and let everybody move on?

The government is in denial and taking Nigerians for a ride, insulting their intelligence in the process. That's why people are reacting the way they are.

The NA said if the same situation present itself, they wouldn't approach it any differently than they did..

Do you still think they feel remorseful ?

ggood:
you are very stupid , am a typical Niger Delta man get that into your your skull. I was born and raised in Niger Delta I speak Niger Delta language

Lol
Niger Delta Language
I'm from Niger Delta
What this Niger Delta language you talking about......?

internationalman:
That sex doll can serve as a better wife than most women from this side of the world...

Yeah I know sex doll has nothing to offer other than sex but so do most women nowadays

You're ment

QuotaSystem:
The Northerners and SW in APC don't hate Igbos.

They hate Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and his piglets who have done nothing but hate and attack them. That's why they'll never be allowed near power under any guise.

There's a difference.
