Can your yorumba aunty differentiate an Efik from an Igbo?

CHESSBOARD:
Thats what u generations have been doing, cunningly saying one thing and doing the other evil at the back, blackmailing all our effort to leave this zoo.

CHESSBOARD:
I have to put you where you bigot belong, and if you dont know am a "grandmaster", so dont even go that chess line. you are here bashing IGBOS, now your nobody's fan, but you an Igbo hater that wont let ppl debate on how situation affects them

mandax:
So why do Yoruba do every foolish blackmail to persuade Igbo not to leave Nigeria?

CHESSBOARD:
story of the God, Her mom told her to marry a Yoruba and not Igbo, then one yoruba man not Efik suddenly landed on her foot , your wife might have something in common to Tonto Dike,.... There are level of characteristics Igbos want of a woman if they ever married outside Igboland, you have to meet the standard and I am very sure she hasn't gotten that quality, She knows you can manage her, thats why she is still psyching you with that cock and bull story.... No right thinking and independent thinking woman will tell her husband that she married him because her mother said she should not marry one tribe...buahhahaha very funny

Sweetlemon:
Please tell her! An average Akwa/Cross person living in Lagos can speak Yourba fluently and generally, even the ones living at home would prefer to marry off their children to other tribes than Igbo. My mum for one is not comfortable around them because her brother was forced to join the biafra army, the experience almost made her brother go mentally sick and her family, along with many other SS families affected are yet to forgive the Igbos for that unnecessary war. We try to be civil and even pretend brotherhood once in a while (like the way GEJ pretended to be Igbo when he needed them) Sorry to be so mean but maybe I'm just so pissed about this radio biafra thing and they way they're trying to drag our states into this thing again!
Walahi! If any war should break out again and my states are affected ehn..............

CHESSBOARD:
Hypocrites, blah blah blah.

safarigirl:
Apart from that mad fellow, Nnamdi Kanu, who probably went mad after reading NL Politics section, which sane, educated Igbo person has attacked another tribe?

safarigirl:
Go and ask Ikwerre, Efik and Ibibio people of the injustice they've suffered simply cuz they can't speak Yoruba.

Sweetlemon:
Exactly! The man was just goofing around. I saw that video and couldn't believe why JImi's camp over politicized that thing!

Winna01:
ok.. That means 1gb would ave been an airplane

safarigirl:
The Oba that vowed a genocide against a people was not Igbo

bushdoc9919:
That still does not mean that states cannot, for example, develop their education sector, or look for investors to come and develop the agric products. Or spend more in dealing with tribalism, and bigotry.

There is a lot of things states can do. It is Nigerians who think that the sun rises and sets in Abuja that make the states redundant.

I used to bash Abuja on this forum well well. I wonder now if I should have also bashed the states too.

And anyways....Decree 34 is no longer relevant.....except when it comes to sharing of money. And that is what we have to get rid of....the idea that sharing of kudi= development.

APC better get us diversifying....that is key to that.

bushdoc9919:
Appointments does not equal development.

Nigeria is not structured the way you think it is.

Horlufemi:
Sorry to burst your bubble dear. Its only a response to the hate by the Igbo themselves. Igbo's are fantastic people hardworking then there are the uneducated ones that just hate hate hate and hate.

I could be wrong but I notice the Igbo especially the ones born and bred in SW are far more less hateful than the ones in from SE. I could be wrong also but the Igbo a more tribalistic than the other ethnic groups. Only rich Igbo guys are less tribal.

signz:
Wonderful post.

Likewise me, I didn't know anything about Tribalism until Nairaland. I'm sure same is true for majority of Igbos youths born from the 80's - downwards. After reading threads like this, many of our youths started listening to Nnamdi Kanu.

signz:
We need federal appointments now because our sons and daughters need federal work. That's because that's how Nigeria is structured for now. Do you know the number of Igbos that were employed by the fed govt under the GEJ administration just cos of the appointments he gave our sons and daughters.

Until Nigeria is restructured it resource control/ true federalism, there always be need for federal appointments by all tribes in nigeria

DiademSh07:
See this mumu, what happened to the chevron report that was provided by kagawash07? Or is chevron a Yoruba? Maybe I should repost it since you're suffering from dyslexia!
How is the writer affliated with chevron oil? What business does she have with chevron?
So, the writer was also biased towards exmobil that was ranked 1st?
Not to forget the writer wrote the article based on the production report from chevron, exmobil and shell.
What kind of morön is this?
A real dunce!

Demmocrats:

DiademSh07:
Common simple English, you failed to understand!
All this long epistle doesn't change the fact that Ironsi, an ibo man destroyed our true federalism!
Just take a glance at the post you quoted and take a look at your morönic reply, doesn't it make sense to you?
Brainless bimbo who knows nothing than to copy and paste!

Demmocrats:

Blah blah blah...and more blah

According to official police report of the coup’s investigation.

In August 1965, three officers, Major Okafor, Major Ifeajuna and Captain Oji who were already dissatisfied with political developments in the Federation and the impact of these developments on the Army, held series of discussions between them about the matter and set about the task of searching for other officers who held views similar to their own and who could, eventually, be trusted to join them in the enterprise of staging a military coup d'etat.

In September 1965, Major I. H. Chukwuka of Nigerian Army Headquarters Lagos was persuaded to join the group of conspirators, followed in October 1965 by Major C. I. Anuforo, also of the Army headquarters.

Major Chukwuma. Kaduna. Nzeogwu was brought in around that time through the efforts of Major Anuforo, an old friend of both Majors Nzeogwu and Okafor. Major Nzeogwu in turn secured the support for the plan of Major A. Ademoyega who had worked with him in the Nigerian Army Training College Kaduna.

Something terrible happened to Nigeria’s growth in 1966 when the unitary government was introduced and sustained ever since, even though it is referred to as a federal system only in name.

xtrorse:
who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW.

"The relationship between the two sides deteriorated progressively and the Biafran efforts to secure the people's support failed.

The battle front reports were equally unfavourable to the Biafrans who then resorted to extensive witch-hunting against suspected saboteurs.

The Biafran forces, who were relatively calm during the first one month of the occupationperiod, became progressively edgy, tightening the various governmental gadgets of societal control.

As the Biafran hostility developed to crisis proportions, the dusk to dawn curfew was further enforced, the Vigilance and Security Councils given additional powers, and the Biafran Army and Militia became more ruthless in their dealings with the civilians.

The civilian collaborators doubled their spying activities to callous dimensions. [45]

The situation drifted for the worse.

Taking the Mid Western refusal to support the secessionist movement as a demonstration of an anti-Ibo and pro-Hausa stance, the Biafrans intensified their search for suspected saboteurs as every set-back on the battle front was invariably blamed on sabotage.

Heavier reprisals followed.

At Abudu, over 300 bodies, including those of children, were found in the Ossiomo river as the Biafrans withdrew. [46]

Similarly, on 20 September 1967, 'there was a mass killing of non-Ibo MidWesterners at Boji-Boji Agbor', and on 23 September, 'non-Ibo speaking MidWesterners were apprehended by rebel soldiers at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and taken [in two lorries] to a rubber plantation along Uromi-Agbor road and massacred'.[47]

The more minor cases of rape, extortion, seizure of properties, and other punishments featured abundantly.

For instance, a Warri-based lawyer, E. K. Iseru, testified at the Tribunal that he was stripped naked and detained for three days without food for agitating for the Rivers State, and, when he complained of hunger, he was promptly told: 'there is no food for Hausa friends'. [48]

On May 9, 1969, a group of mainly Italian oilmen working for the Italian Oil Company ENI were attacked at Kwale in the Midwest by a Biafran unit operating deep behind Nigerian lines. The unit allegedly belonged to the “Republic of Benin Division” under Colonel Joe “Hannibal” Achuzia. Ten Italians and one Jordanian were killed. The fourteen Italians, three Germans and one Lebanese who did not die during the raid were subsequently hoisted back into Biafra as hostages where they were tried and condemned to death by Biafran authorities. Under international pressure Biafran Leader Emeka Ojukwu released them on June 4, 1969 to diplomats from Gabon and Ivory Coast who passed them on to their home countries. The trial proved to be a strategic error on the part of the Biafran leadership, which thereafter lost the support of Italy and the Vatican.

On page 329 of his account of the war, former Biafran Army Commander, then Major General Alexander Madiebo said, “The news of the tremendous success of the operation which was meant to be a limited raid, came as a surprise to both Colonel Achuzia at his Headquarters at Oraifite near Onitsha, and to me at Army Headquarters, Isu.” The British journalist, John de St. Jorre, wrote that “The Biafran massacre of the eleven oilmen – as deliberate as any of the other atrocities – was designed presumably to discourage other foreign oilmen working in the Mid-West. None of these acts had the approval of the two leaderships and most of them happened without even the knowledge of the local field commanders. They were inexcusable but typical of the sort of horrifyingly brutal incident that occurs in every war.”

Danjuma827:
Op your English fit carry Nobel prize ohhh.

Sincere4u:
Just listen to yourself WHAT SANE PERSON WILL PAY ON PER SECOND BILLING JUST TO MEET AND QUARREL WITH PEOPLE?.
... GOOD BYE so you can save the money you spend on per second billing. Use the money to do something good with yourself!!!.

Sincere4u:
The point is Awolowo's installation was a reason for the coup and it remains so cos you've not proven how it is a lie.

Sincere4u:
You are making it sound like the coup was actually an Igbo coup. IT WAS A COUP CARRIED OUT BY PARTIES ACROSS NIGERIA TO INSTALL YOUR FELLOW TRIBESMAN, AWOLOWO AS PRESIDENT!!!. At least i've learnt that much so try to get that right bro.

Sincere4u:
You contradict yourself bro. You brought Awolowo in by earlier stating Ifeajuna was engaged by somebody you had mentioned for lack of plans to scoffield Awolowo from prison during the coup. It was for this singular reason, according to you the fellow participated in the coup. So what are you now saying bro?.
