Small fry i dont want to get too ville. I just came back from a lenghty ban and i have no intention of getting banned because of a worthless jobby jouster like you.

It's nice to see that you have stepped up your game. You need reorientation. Insulting people does not drive home your point more. Keep it straight and devoid of slurs, and we can have a discourse. Only then will I explain to you how Muslims controlling the machinery of the state means that Kaduna Christians can barely be heard, regardless how loud they shout.

VomeSchakleton:
Small fry, oure repulsive period.

You should update your vocabulary. The 'small fry' phrase gets triter with each comment you make. Dunce. .

VomeSchakleton:
Yet a christian has never been elected governor or even won a primary yeah? As arrogant as northern christians can be? Hate to bring religion into this but its a fact. I lived in kaduna all my life small fry and frankly you're an im.becile if you truly think that. FOH with your stupidity

I'm repulsive to dumb people. Those who suffer from psychosis, even more. Cretin.

kinibigdeal:
Fulani's use religion to tie Hausa down. It will shock you to note that Fulani's are the most enlightened tribe in the North. They send their children abroad to school and teach the Hausa's Quran. Only Nigerians start differentiating between Fulani and Hausa. Fulani had dominated the Hausa's for long and they are still minority but civilized. I pity the Hausa's

You are right. All through my stay up north, I have never seen a Fulani man enroll his child in the almajiri system. Their kids are always posh and fly.

famosh:
PDP, a northern party, won in those states & not Jonathan. Jonathan should have contested under APGA & let's see if he'll get 30 votes in the north.

What you do not understand is that states like Plateau despise Hausa/Fulani Muslims. So, regardless the party that floats him, he was always going to win. Same applies to Taraba, due to their Christian majority.

VomeSchakleton:
If truly kogi is your state and you are saying this you are absolutely clueless. Youre just like those who will tell you christians outnumber muslims in Kaduna.

You are the clueless one here. Christians outnumber muslims in Kaduna hands down. While it's a close run in Kogi. I know because I am a middle-belter and have lived in both states long enough.

gemini35:
you are a fool already by prefering the northerner to rule you,they are nt creative clueless,no IQ no direction,they don,t add any value to this union,they are just parasite,for you info when biafra comes every state will will manage their resources

Airhead, what value does your erosion plagued land offers to Nigeria? And your Greedy and thieving leaders?

Pesin say him no want, na by force? And you're proving him right already showing your domineering attitude like a dunce.

Stating your opinion in an assertive and arrogant manner only makes you look silly.

LastProphet:
thank u reasonable brother, they don't know how stupid they sound, am igala from kogi state almost border town with enugu state but yet anytime i hear them talk it has very little sense in it, as if the only parent they have is money, no home training and pompous even in total ignorance. thanks my bro

You're welcome, bro. You just summed them up. It's almost as if they grew up all on their own with no parental input whatsoever. It's really a shame.

agabusta:
Why are you so particular about Lagos loosing it's economy? It seems to give you some delight which I find strange.

I hope this is not a result of envy.

What's the big deal with Lagos that you are even still wishing it to go down economically? Are all the roads motorable? Is there superb housing and transportation? Is there good housing and stable electricity? Is there no poverty, lack and anguish in Lagos just like other states?

It's only in Africa people living in poverty and struggle still envy themselves and try to bring each other down.

Go to the US and see successful states! That the economy of one is on the rise does not bring down the economy of the other.

The success of US is as a result of the conglomeration of highly successful and viable states.

That Alabama/Colorado/Indiana hopes to rise to be more viable economically does not mean they should be hoping for the downfall of California/New York/Texas.

You need to change your mentality. That the economy of Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Anambra blossoms massively will not mean the economy of Lagos and Kano will go down.

Infact it's a plus to the country if we have so many states with blossoming economy.

Ogbeni, hate is the watchword. That's what drives some of these people. They want everywhere else to burn, save theirs. I have never seen people this hateful in my entire life.

They are all about I, and I alone.

LastProphet:
what a waste of space u are, why do flat skulls think everybody fantasizes about money? does the statement falana made show someone looking for position? am of the same opinion with falana and i believe many knowledgeable people, so are we all looking for political appointment? what is wrong with u people? do you know falana? this man takes ordinary taxi all over Abuja anytime he is in Abuja, have seen him severally, so tell me how he has shown unfettered desire for position? and lastly what other position does someone of his caliber want? the money falana can make from one court case should conveniently buy your entire village plus the useless father that unfortunately impregnated ur mother. Hopeless ugaadan jews, no wonder orji kalu has realized you people are your own greatest enemies, ami éla onè

Bros, don't waste your time throwing grammar at these people. I bet he barely understands what you wrote up there. That is why they go about spewing Afonja everywhere. Hate is the only thing that they can relate with.

pheesayor:
Nollywood pioneers are Yorubas

Don't mind the akpu-headed albino. He must be cousins with the other one suffering in Kuje.

Alwaystruth:
I REPEAT ANY IGBO WHO INVESTS IN THIS NUTMATVILLE OR NUTMATBUSH IS A FIRST CLASS EFULEFU.
NOLLYWOOD HAS NOT BUSINESS WITH ABUJA . IN FACT ABUJA SEE ME AND GIRL'S TEETH.

If that's you in the picture, then I understand why you find life so frustrating. Only such a defect will make a man outgrow his senses.

While everyone is investing in their villages, who will invest in Enugu, Onitsha, or Aba? Do they not all come from different villages?

Small pikin dey worry you. There are effective ways of dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Seek help while you can still type.

fiizznation:
Yeah good. Islam strongly frown at alcohol intake, besides kano is a sharia practicing state. We don't need all that nonsense in our state.

People like you who know better should be propagating tolerance, not narrow-mindedness.

Nigeria is first a secular state before anything else. That should mean something to you, especially as you claim to uphold the oneness of the country than most.

A person who consumes alcohol isn't more sinful than those who do slow and sniff all sorts of things.

Don't even try to act as though thou art the holiest.

Live and lets live.

I'm sure there are those who look up to you each step they take in life. You should lead them out of such bigoted mindset; not deep into what could envelope hate and dogmatism.

SlayerSupreme:


Drool

I suppose that the word you were looking for is droll?

I don't take the opinion of the intellectually incapacitated seriously.

Sorry.

MyGeneration:
U guys re d same people saying igbos go back to ur land with one mouth, then when they do and decide to agittate for Biafra u shout we wont let u go we want to save you from yourself with another mouth, then when they decide to accept one Nigeria u mk sure u marginalize them in every single way possible from appointment to projects. Just as u said theres nothing in igbo land because u nd ur brothers up north and allies hv schemed it so, when igbos try to speak sgainst it u say we are cry babies, that we are emotional people that we are greedy, all of u just talking trash think that we are happy as our people leave our region everyday to hostile regions where they can wake up anyday nd kill you because of cartoons u know nothing abt, i beleive in Nigeria not because am stup1d not to hv seen d evil it has done to my people nd our region but because i know that theres a God up there looking at all our actions. The law of karma still exists.
Of all the regions only the SE didnt get a rail line not even one, u people kept beating around d bush, d same way you all did when buhari started with his tribalistid apppointments where SE got nothing, they said we shud wait we waited yet nothing changed, dats hw u people wud tell us to wait for our own projects and nothing wud change.
Then in the next 10years u or maybe ur son wud visit the east and start telling us bullshit that theres nothing there. Dont worry continue.

Like a lot of well meaning Nigerians here and out there, there was never a time when I supported the unjust treatment of any region in Nigeria.

I am all for equal treatment of everyone with no exceptions whatsoever.

But you must understand that politics is a game of lobby. That your region isn't captured points to the fact that your leaders in the NA aren't doing well enough.

I remember a while back when your people were jubilating over the exclusion of the se from the railway project, citing they didn't want anything to do with the FG. They thought it will provide the hammer with which to nail the coffin on the apc in the region.

Had they buckled up and asked for inclusion instead, something would have been done about it. Alas, they had a different narrative; even supporting Dogara for smuggling lots of his communities in... At whose detriment?

For every project you see anywhere, someone somewhere fought for it to be laid.

gidgiddy:
Stop decieving your self with the above. Neither the North or Lagos would have been anything near what it is now without the imput of Igbos. Besides, the two places you mentioned are just two in the thousands of places all over the world the Igbo man could have gone. Or did the tell you the world starts and stops in Lagos?

Nigeria was a mistake abd people like Ojukwu were the ones who tried to correct that mistake of the colonial masters

Lol. As if we don't know that it is easier for a broke man in Neni to make it all the way to Lagos than go straight to Singapore where he'd be likely returned in a casket.

Like it or not, Lagos and other parts of Nigeria gave you the wings with which to fly. That you prefer it enough to "make it" what it is lays credence to my claim. Why didn't they make another Lagos in the east?

Ask yourself how many of them died on the way even before making it to Libya. That some of your people can now afford to fly directly to the UK rather than take the long route to deadzone is thanks to the riches bestowed on them by the state.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that you now have a phone thanks to that uncle of yours in Oshodi.

And as for Ojukwu, he was just another man who caused lots of innocents to fight his war of greed. It was never about advancing the interest of the Igbos. Would there have been a word from him if he was picked to head the state instead of Gowon?

MyGeneration:
As In igbo man am not in support of what he said abt Nigeria, because i beleive things wud get better but with this ur statement u mk me want to rethink my stand.

Bros, it doesn't matter where you stand because it does not affect me in any way. That's the gospel truth. I live in the East. So I speak it as I see it. There's nothing here.

If that statement was enough to make you want to change your stand, then you never stood for anything to begin with.

I have nothing but love and admiration for the Igbo race, but I'm not the type to lie to appease.

gidgiddy:
Im a proud Igbo man, in my next life, I pray to be born Igbo. But I curse Lord Lugard and his illegal amalgamation of 1914 that brought us Igbos together with strangers called Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani.

The creation of Nigeria in 1914 was the biggest mistake ever made in Africa.

That "mistake" saved you all. You wouldn't have had a Lagos or the North to run to so to escape your fruitless land.

For a people who barely even care about their own siblings, I'm not surprised you habor so much hate towards the Nigerian State. Like, what have you ever loved in your despicable lives other than money?!

The same people going about the place looking for hate-filled threads to gnaw on on a daily basis. Unna no dey tire? Even your bodies will be shocked how much hate your souls stock.

limeta:
Afonja,s and their united south song is missing on this thread.
Tunubu is yoruba, yoruba is tunubu.

The day you will make sense eh, your much awaited Biafra will become a reality.

But that's almost impossible, innit?

Looking past his wrongs, he made salient points. That's the only way to go about running things in this country if we aim to achieve greatness in spite of our differences.

Nice points, sir.

Right thinking fellas!

These are the kind of comments that I as a northerner, wish to associate with; not some reckless remarks.

It's obvious that only those behind the feud are the beneficiaries. Bunch of old men with selfish agenda chopping where they never sow.

In a world where everyone is looking after themselves, I think no one stands on a moral ground high enough to accuse Tinubu of being too selfish. At least, he has an interest in advancing a lot other people, even if it still benefits him in some way.

Besides, he's earned his keep as the national leader of the party. The man deserves his props.

So far, he has conducted himself admirably well, like a leader should.

gbosaa:
Hypocrite. You lump S.E and S.S. when it suits you then jump to another thread or forum to argue that SE is different from SS. Ain't you one of the most vocal guys here who call SE landlocked or use the term 'expansionist' to describe them when they ally with people from Rivers and Calabar areas? Like Buhari, you'll brand certain people Igbos even when they've rejected that identity.

South East was built on the sweat and blood of the Igbos. It exists because of the toils of the indigenes.

There is nothing wrong in asking the government to execute projects in that region. I'd rather the govt get the roads and other transport networks like railways working than bother with govt appointments. Lots of regions can't function without govt appointments. SE can function without that as long as there is fairness and equity in distribution of amenities.

Business men from the east have to come to Lagos to clear their goods then face the perilous adventure of moving them down with corrupt police, army and even the custom and excise men competing to empty their pockets.

Must everything be politics to you guys, why can't fed govt get the railways working like it's done in most part of the world to ease transport. These people contribute a lot to revenue.

Not a lot of people depend on sending multiple CVs to businesses. To those who want to establish businesses, fed govt should encourage and support them by creating friendly environment...provide steady power.

Not everyone is ipob, lots of people down in the east despise that movement and it's wrong to tar everyone with the same brush.

Buhari was asked by journalists about Igbo 'marginalisation'...he replied that he appointed Igbo men in key positions while mentioning emefiele and amaechi.!! Amaechi I'm sure would not like to be identified as Igbo.

Your submission is compelling. Nobody with a feeling will dismiss those issues you've raised.

I've always maintained that Mr. President hasn't done quite well making those careless remarks.

Even those agitating for Biafra aren't really after it, all they want is to be heard. Everyone deserves a look at.

Had things been going the way they should, they wouldn't even bother clamoring for self-governance.

In every government policy, there are winners and losers, but it calls for questions when the loser is always the same man..

May God guide us aright.

I appreciate your perception.

This group never met a derogatory term it didn't like.

Respect e no dey their dictionary.

Only Trump and his supporters could rival them in vicious attacks.

Heartbeat kwa. Are you a clown ni? .

But I understand that you are just being a proud "Anambrarian" like you rightly should. Funny enough, Anambra has more influential people than you have listed.

I wouldn't bet against them having the richest people per head.

The state is endowed, no doubt.

Don't come and take Mikel and PSquare from me o, OP, they are Jos boys. You people have enough. .

.

Misleading topic though. Didn't go to work today, but learnt that it was the Director of Transport, Unizik, that organized the drivers to protest against the arbitrary charges for tickets; they charge them at Eke Awka, Unizik, and Unizik Junction. So I doubt if students were involved.

TheAdvocate:
The same Tallen who was removed as minister of science & technology because she kept a young man at Nicon Hilton presidential suites with bills running into of naira. At that time, her husband was on wheelchair like he is now. Am sure its beyond this reasons she stated.

Bros, the thing worry me o. Reading all these comments, I was like wow. Na today e begin sick? For a woman who is barely even around to take care of the husband, this is a facade, at best.

And before someone comes yapping, "but people do change!"I know the woman very well; by virtue of our living on the same street and have personally taken delivery of some items to her in abj from her Jos home. That woman never change. Bet she's got a bigger ambition.

What impresses me the most about him is his humility despite amassing so much wealth. I even learnt he let his daughter marry a guy who started at the car wash. Guy now owns one of the happening bars on Abakaliki Street here in Awka, thanks to his support.

The man is incredibly sound and his account seems devoid of bias. Oh, and the various epithets he used to describe Fani Kayode are every inch apt.

The Igbos are truly great and successful people who have made a habit of dominating whatever area they find themselves in. The Obi of Onitsha is one such intelligent men that I have always respected amongst a host of brilliant minds from East of the Niger.

I just sometimes wonder who raised the cretins that flood nairaland with stupid comments.

As for the historical facts presented, na learn we dey. But I'll take his account over Fani's, considering he backed them up with established facts that some people on here corroborate, while there are some I relate with myself.

Sweetguy25:
The civil war happened over forty years and under military regimes. I don't know why they failed to setup a development commission but the truth is that the easterners failed to take any action towards ensuring that something sort of that nature was instituted to redress the problems.
The level of destruction in areas you mentioned is nothing when compared to what terrorism has done to north east. Even the whole world is aware of that and foreign donations have been pledged to ensure that the north east is redeveloped.
It will be terrible if news goes out that a bill that was supposed to redevelop a war torn part of Nigeria wasn't passed. What will the international media say?
You have to commend the reps for doing the constituencies proud and condemn your own reps for not doing anything to better the lives of their own constitutuencies...

God bless you for this post and a thousand times more for being humane!

I'll preface this by extending my heartfelt admiration for the urbane submissions made by bejeiodus, sweetguy25, tuale4u, and intrepid01.

Reasonable people like you are the black man's only hope to cover himself in glory in the face of deepening hatred amongst brethren.

I wanted to comment, but you guys have said all that there is to say.

Barcanista,

You're a different ball game altogether. You're a great guy, and your intentions are good, I understand. But you are putting this the wrong way. Sometimes, you have an issue telling politics apart from neutral circumstances.

While the means is every bit political, you have to understand that the end isn't. It's not about who's contributing what, rather, it should be about putting all hands on deck to rid the country of the menace.

If it's not properly handled, an implosion will be visited upon us soon, and forget that you are in faraway Rivers? These things have far-reaching effects.
I think you were doing okay until you chirped in "herdsmen commission". That's comical. Not because any lives are less important, but because we're talking about hapless individuals who have lost everything, I mean, the destitute who lack even a pen to call their own.

I thought your concern for mankind should trump all else seeing how you parade yourself as a comrade?

There are times when our differences should not even matter for Pete's sakes! You should have been thoughtful enough to pick your moments. This is the wrong topic to gloat over.

QuotaSystem:
Ironically, your answer is within your comment.

[b]Why would Alhaji Dangote build his mega refinery in the Niger Delta when you're already threatening him with terrorists? Jokers.

For your information and that of oilsoup and other posters feigning ignorance, Dangote is NOT laying even ONE inch of pipeline for crude oil from the Niger Delta. He is a smart businessman who knows when to be risk averse. There is a reason he is building close to the ocean and that is to import the crude oil his refinery needs (Nigerian crude is not cheaper than oil in the international market) and that will save him from the criminality in the Niger Delta.

Furthermore, according to the land use act, the resources underneath the land (including oil) belongs to the Federal government of Nigeria and not any specific group of people accidentally born above the land. No amount of kicking and shouting will bury this fact.

Finally, your creek terrorists have been tamed by Buratai's fire spitting birds in the sky in case you have been living under a rock and had not realized. Your scavengers have now learnt their manners.

I'm not asking for your opinion on the above, I'm only informing you so don't bother with a response. [/b]

At this rate, just seeing your name on the viewers list on any thread will send chills down these guys' spines.
