I have the ability, capability and audacity to do things that animals will and can never do.

I am with you then. I thought you are the one asking another if he's a higher animal.

sirthisthickkal:
No I am an intelligent creature.

Intelligence compared to other human being or in relation to non-human animals.

sirthisthickkal:
Are you a higher animal?

Are you a lower animal?

Biafra is not an Igbo-only affair! I will keep on reiterating this until it sticks.
If you claim that the Ibibio man doesn't want Biafra, I can also claim that the He is yearning for it!
In the current dispensation, people are uninformed and misinformed about Biafra, most people even think secession is treason, let there be a Nigeria vs Biafra debate with Biafran and one Nigeria faithfuls digging it out, afterwards a poll, and watch how fast people will vote to leave Nigeria.

What does Biafra mean, if it's not an Igbo affair? It must have a meaning; what is the meaning? And should the tribes adjoining Igboland refused to be part of Biafra, can it still be called Biafra?

fr3do:
assuming that the authors of those threads are trully from the places they claim to be from, they do not speak for their people.

You and I know that whether they join the Igbos or not, once the we are out, they would also want out, and the resources you are so concerned about will go with them.

Why won't Biafra agitate without coopting others who don't want to be part of the union? Biafra isn't going about it scientifically. If this neighbors don't want to be part of the union, and they don't trust you, the first step to overcoming this hurdle is to find out why they are sceptical about the project. You've tried this route before and it doesn't work, why not abandon it or research why it failed.

fr3do:
Last time I checked, the place now called Akwa Ibom was part of Eastern Nigeria and was also in Biafra during the war.
Biafra does not stop in Igbo land.

Did they think, feel, consider themselves Biafrans? I am now seeing some threads in the Politics Board of some tribes in the former Eastern Nigeria, all saying they're not Biafrans. Check it out!

You must be silly if you didn't know Nigeria gained its independence and started existing as a country on 1st October,1960.
before, then all constituent nations of the territory were governed as a British protectorate or colony. What every name you prefer.

If you don't know that much, please go back to elementary school.

Whose centenary did Jonathan celebrate, Biafra's? Flora Shaw (Lugard's girlfriend or wife), having been smitten by the love of Lord Lugard looked at all of you (Igbo inclusive), and said I'd love to call them Nigeria and it stayed. Nigeria was a creation of the spirit of love, and there's nothing you can do. In all the writings of Lord Lugard and Flora Shaw there is no mention of Biafra, not even once. So, he and she didn't know that.
cjrane, pls be serious. History is not a matter of semantics or personal opinion. Don't come here twisting history to suit your secessionists ideas.

cjrane:
Which yoruba ever admits he is yoruba anymore?
I expect you to claim Ijaw,Benin, Tiv or Ibibio.As if that will deceive anyone.
Yeye pipul

Yoruba are proud people. I've never seen a Yoruba claiming those tribes you mentioned. On the contrary, I've seen many Igbos in Lagos who've become Yorubanized and are claiming Yoruba.

cjrane:
The simple answer to a senseless question is YES.
Oil was discovered in 1956 and Nigeria was founded in 1960.
If the oil was not there, the north had already proclaimed they were not interested in independence nor being in the same country with the south. The discovery of oil in the south changed all that.

Nigeria founded in 1960, you sure? So, the people inhabiting the space prior to 1960 are called what? Are you a TANoid?

Another yeye yoruba goon. I suppose Igbos trust Yoruba with their lives .

And what makes you think I am Yoruba?

cjrane:
The bitter truth is that OIL is the ONLY REASON Yorubas and Hausas want Nigeria.
I can tell you many Igbos are fine to be in their own country right now with or without SS. Can you say that about Yorubas?
yeye dey smell.....

So, there was no Nigeria before the oil or what?

Omooba77:
I hope someone from police is reading, the woman is very friendly; I know her wella, I will get her name and rank before next weekend by God's grace.....

Good. Carry on. It gives me joy to see people doing their jobs the way it should be done. And these group of people always seems to be happy, no matter what.

fr3do:
there is a proces called referendum, where people vote to decide if they should remain in a country or not.
Biafrans leaving Nigeria wasn't the cause of the war, it was their resources they were taking along with them.

The trillion naira question is:
who does the oil found in SE & SS belong to and why? the community, the land owner or the entire country?

The UN Principle of Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources vested it in the hands of national governments to be used in the interest of their development and the well-being of the people (Nigerians) concerned.
The resources you're even harping on as the reason for Biafrans wanting to secede are not even found in Biafra. What you'd wanted to do was appropriate the resources of Nigeria in the SS as your own.

If oil were in the north or SW in commercial quantities, your greedy folks would have since divided Nigeria. Not to talk about the fact they would not tolerate the sharing of their oil resources and giving their Igbo enemies the lion share citing a bogus census figure.
Yet this is precisely what the north and the Yorubas have connived to be doing in Nigeria..... and they get so angry if the people dare protest the robbery.

Are these conjectures reply to my question or what? Are you suggesting that there won't be Nigeria after the oil? How sure are you? Are the Biafrans too not greedy to have included SS in their failed country, and the only reason for them is the oil? Why include SS in your country when they don't want to be in it?

brightnelly:

I So much love this man


No homo oo

Mehn, I laughed out, very loudly.

mymadam:
Una de praise am? Dis na Nigeria ooo . Dem go soon transfer am... out of jealousy. Actually, she's cool all over... attractive & hard-working, according to various reports. Here's wishing her the best.

It's true. It may happen. But one thing with such characters is she'll turn wherever she's posted into a garden. There's a quote which says 'When you're given a lemon, turn it into lemonade', and another one by Mary Engelbreit says “Bloom Where You're Planted.” It is as if these types of people know about these laws, hence their success, wherever and at whatever.

Omooba77:
You are right,she has Edo/Delta name. She is from Sabo division,Yaba.So she is married,sometimes she stay under bridge Dormanlong area.Always jovial and smiling,dancing as she does her job.I recommend her for promotion

I "liked" your post. I added my words to yours and also recommended her for promotion; that is, if the police authorities will listen to us.

fr3do:
the well being of people who are called Nigerians is more important than the illusional unity of the state, they are under.
If this lack of trust and disunity is hindering development, why not split the country!

What are the ways of breaking the country? Explore for us; the last time it was attempted, reports say that over two million people died. Is there a way to go about it without going through war and deaths? Is there in the statutes somewhere that spell out how the entity could be dissolved? Spell us the ways and means for easy resolution.

frankyychiji:
You are clever by half, no need to banter words with you because it would not amount to anything.

And you are clever by a quarter. I just assume you cannot counter the argument, hence your tactical withdrawal.

dominique:
This is horrible, what exactly do these people want?

Nothing but to reduce the population and destroy the economy of the region. Everything that one does has a meaning, but this one doesn't.

tdayof:
the twitter handle should be fake.. If she would ever type that her father's position will stop her from doing that...

Then somebody should do something to discredit the source, Breaking Times since their intent is to destroy her or her father.

frankyychiji:
Buhari is replying too fast and too soon. Do the math son. He banned Ait then recanted. He overruled jega then denied it. He appoints only northerners presently. He disgraced DSS. He is denying most of his campaign promises. Etc etc.

Newspapers were seized, journalists arrested and beaten, and an Israeli company was hired to spy on internet communications during the dark days of GEJ, but you didn't see this. It's just some two days that the Deutsch Welle correspondent manhandled by the GRJ admin was admitted back to his beat in the Villa.
Many northerners were relieved of their appointments to be replaced by Diezani, Emiefele, Ekpeyong (the DSS boss), Arase, and many others, but you didn't see it as appointing southerners only, and northerners didn't complain because it's only you who knows when their brothers ate touched. And is it not too early to conclude about the shape of this administration. Buhari is not the Buhari of yesteryears. Not only should these people be replaced, most of them are supposed to be jailed, both northerners and southerners, who've served under the lootocracy of the Jonathanic era.

NewNigeriaMind:
Personally I think Tinubu should present a strong Igbo candidate in 2019 from APC.

I also think the SW should support the candidate fully.

People may not like to hear this, but there's a trust issue with the Igbos. The Hausa and the Yoruba don't seem to trust them. Why is that, and how can that be resolved? You may not believe it, as a northerner when given the choice, I am more likely to go with the Yoruba than the Igbo, and most likely the Yoruba too will prefer a northerner to an easterner. As long as this logjam is not resolved the unity of Nigeria, and especially the position of the Igbo (politically) will always be at risk.

#WailingWailers Is Buhari replying you?

makzeze:
So PDP is still in existence. I thought it has change name or is in coma.

Some analysts say it was dead and buried but for the over-ambition of Saraki.

Would a northern girl, whose father is a strict disciplinarian, and a president engage in this kind of talk? I am really disappointed if truly Zahra will say this. Homos are outcasts in our society and for her to imply this is a tacit support for homosex, in a way.

"Yet another northerner" as if you've ever said anything good about Buhari and northerners. Wait until the government is fully constituted so that you'll really justify whether it's lopsided or not.

Good. Africans standing up to what is right. I like Jammeh's own when he said, we're going to deal with you (gays) and no white man will do anything. This shows that those Africans wanting to challenge our values are being encouraged by the white man.

LeOstrich:
Useless ab0ki dik rider, did Jonathan procure any aircraft for the Presidential fleet?

As for the convoy do you expect him to go without protection where there were lunatic islamists fighting because a Christian was President?

Mumu dunce

So where is the lie that you accused El-Rufai of, if all you have is this as a defense? I know you're supporting Jonathan because he's a Christian, which makes you limited in judgment.
