I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like barcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.
Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

God bless u my brother. You have just spoken the truth. Some people will just come online and begin to say trash. Even if Ojukwu happens to be alive today and being asked if he would lead his people for another secessation. He will say NO because of the bad experience he had even from his people.

How i wish Biafra can just happen peacefully, but the problem of we igbos is that we dont know the stand of our governors and senators and other political personalities, and that is really weaking our trust that we would have showered towards one well known and anoited person......

The problem with Nigeria is they will never listen to your pleas and requests until you do it forcefully and violently, after many years of war, nothing good has been built over here(in terms of FG projects) in the SS/SE how then will you prove that there was no victor and no vanquished?? why will a government claim that it care for a region which has been clamouring for self freedom for years but yet no attention has been given to them, that same region has lowest number of state in this country, why will they be happy?? Why on earth will they feel among??, they have contributed immensely for the success of this country, Nollyword na dem start am, Azikiwe(though he was the one that trapped us here) but was really the front fighter in the colonial era..... Oil and business are mostly from that region, they have accommodated many tribes in their region without fighting anyone(cos they see everyone as important in one way or the other), but are been fought here and there all through other tribes(because they establish and try there possible best to live comfortable anywhere they are) this are tribe who see theirselves as semi-god and its inborn, you cannot do anything about that and that made them see others not worth dinning with......they dont believe in something that does not work or even walk(just like Nigeria is faulty and crippled) They called for self freedom but they are been denied and abandoned......... Why wont they clamour for freedom and hope to be heard........... I pray that this freedom will be gotten freely and peacefully.......... AMEN

This is where u get it wrong again. Why should u be clarmoring for more states. If we dont have more states like other region, is it the creation of more states that will bring better life. The answer is NO. Some of this present state govts cant even generate revenue for their states and that is why they are owing civil servants. So lets begin to shout and put actions to it, that these govors must be accountable and responsible and not creation of states. Even if Nigeria breaks into 100 places or states what is on ground is what will be obtainable becos of our value deficit.

This is very serious DSS wants to be monitoring asso villa. GEJ cant pretend he doesn't know what he is doing by using wrong people around him, people of questionable character. I dont know why he always gives sensitive posts to women that do not merit it. I dont blame him because he is just the luckiest president in nigeria who never earn it. Thats why he could use over #12billion to maintain more than 10 presidential planes in a year. What a waste?

Wike sori...

I dont know why people can not say the truth for once. GEJ really mess this country up big tlme. No sentiments please.

Enjoy your caliphate

Slave

Nobody is a slave here EXCEPT you want to tell me that u are and thats what u are fighting for. Make sure u stay at the centre of the fight in ND so that u can have first hand information and wont be told. Enjoy ur fightings. Life goes on unhindered.

Sincere4u:
The Military is to blame. They removed what once was to establish what favoured a central looting process. With the Northern states running Almajiri governments (relying entirely on federal allocations and putting nothing in the national treasury, as i heard), reverting to a federal system of government won't be easy cos the North won't want to see that happen.

For how long are u going to blame the military. If our so-called leaders are responsible i dont think there would be military intervention.I still hold these governors responsible . Look at the way they live reckless lifestyles. We must begin to hold these pple responsible or else even when we start fed system of govt it wont change anything. The cabals will always be there because they have the money and influence. Thats why we need a strong-willed leader that will lead by example.

Neyoor:
What inspired me most in this article was the part that read...... "#3-1pound"



So, 3naira was once equivalent to 1pound in
the past. God is wonderful! Is this still possible in Nigeria?

Well, Buhari already promised #1-1$


Wait o! How many ex-gfrnds belongs to FANI-KAYODE? Bianca Ojukwu, Yemisi Wada.......... Well, Fani kayode is loquacious and has a sugar coated mouth, I don't blame those cute ladies for falling for his plights.

You must be an indomie child and lots of other nairalanders not to know that naira was once that good then.

Ababadada:
Edo and Urhobo people how market? You wanna join Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa. We Ijaw will join Biafra! Enough is enough!

Make sure u arm urself very well because this is not a war u fight online but real one. I believe u are based in ND so that when the war starts u can have first hand experience without being told. Anyway life goes on as usual at every other place in nigeria. Happy fighting.

Sincere4u:
Those hypocrites are biting more than they can chew.
If true federalism was in place since independence, those bushy creeks would've been the sites of cities with world class sky scrapers and infrastructure.

Who is to blame for that? Are they not the governors?

meracool:
NNPC is just too shady for this reason GEJ did nothing to the refineries

All he gave us were all scam Oil Subsidy, green fields refinery etc....

If GEJ was the winner of the election NNPC will still maintain that the refineries will work in 2016.

U have said my mind. GEJ would be doing turn around maintenance till 2019 if he had won.

temitemi1:
Our 'classic first lady' Now that u are there no more cheap 10m wristwatch but 100m

Yes o o. Na our 1st lady be that. Make she carry go. She is not a pauper like somebody wey never see money. Any other thing na you sabi

donphilopus:
I'm not saying Tinubu controls all the blocs. But outside his Southwest' stronghold, he controls a reasonable number of blocs. The Benue APC groups are always with Tinubu, there are still some blocs loyal to him in Edo, some Northerners who do not want Atiku albeit not loyal to Tinubu, would prefer to go with Tinubu. No need of argument, let's just see how it plays out. One thing I'm so sure of, is that with Akande on the race, Atiku should step down or face humiliation just like the Presidential Primaries!

You made a valid point. Atiku can not be trusted by his own people. Lets see how it plays out.

me1234:
Nigerian are the most gullible people on earth, you mean Buhari repaired our refineries in 2 weeks? Hmmmmmm na waoooo.

Read Dustmalik submission and stop shouting.

PPAngel:
Whatever evil you bastards in the Southwest wish for us will be your portion in a thousand fold.

This is the beginning of the end of this useless Nigeria

Get ready to join the Islamic State.

Ugly
Lazy
Dirty
Jealous
Backstabbing
Bastards

Haba!! why are sounding this way? NO. it is uncalled for. I dont know why u accuse SW of backstabbing and calling names. Was there any agreement u made wit them that they failed. Was it not the same SW that voted GEJ for his first tenure? Ondo and Ekiti states today are they not pdp states? So stop all these rantings. For ur information NOBODY , i repeat NOBODY born of a woman can islamise Nigeria. Go and write it down somewhere what i said. And Whenever u are contributing try and be objective rather talking trash out of sentiments.

jadajada:
Ok. Buhari need not build schools anymore, all we need is prison - prison.

Dont forget no nigerian law can jail all these criminals because they know the loop holes of such existing laws. That is why such cases like this always drag in court for long. The more u steal from govt, the less ur purnishment in nigeria, all those criminal laws must be reviewed and ammended because they are not doing us any good. Rather it encourages more corruption. It favours the rich more than the poor.

bro4u:
His mates are busy getting married on saturday's while he is still keeping a girlfriend...SMH

. He got three daughters from his wife like that. The story i heard about them (wife and the girls) and their waywordness is a story 4 another day. Ffk used to say all is well with his family but he is an unrepentant woman Wrapper.

Cool

Craziness

siraj1402:
Anyway,just posted it here for the first time but those benefiting from it here in Akure can give testimony. I'm real and what I deals with is real.

what's ur phone no?

StevensJojo:
I use Globacom 24 gb for 8k
You could go for the one of 5k for 12 gb though.

Its the best iv seen so far

pls how do u do it. How do i use with my lapi?

We are waiting and watching...

Iamxtopher:
Yes it still works and you can also use 3K for 9GB in Glo.. I'm actually subscribed to the 9GB data plan for 3K on Glo BIS and it's the best subscription I think.. and I lasts for 3 Months

3G over here is awesome, better than Airtel and MTN

How do u configure it?

This is part of the reasons why ekiti people voted fayemi (apc) out. I wont be surprised if pdp can raise a credible canditate, apc will loose in osun nxt election.

Ezenwammadu:
Lie mohammed you are not a senator or representative to meedle in their affairs.During tambuwal era of rebellion aganist party leadership you hailed him forgetting that what goes around comes back around

What rebellion against party leadership are u talking about? Yes he left pdp for apc while in office but was there any election involved to the extent of robbing his colleages their rights. In as much i support him as a senate presi i dont support the way he went about it. This is part of the mistakes pdp guys keep making that make apc get symparty surport from people. They are used to it in pdp now they are in apc they are using it. Are we in animal kingdom?

odeotito:
A few questions beg for answers from her. One, why did she go to court to aid her refusal to appear before the National Assembly who in pursuit of their legislative oversight functions requested that she appear before it to make necessary clarifications concerning the running of NNPC and missing oil revenue? Two, how does she respond to PWC damning comments in their forensic audit report to the effect that the NNPC was not forthcoming on its financial details so the forensic audit can be worth the while? Three, how come the NNPC had such a high turnover of GMDs during her tenure? Let's stop at those three questions.

God bless u jare. She thinks nigerians are dummy. May be she has 4gotten all these her actions. Make she come back and answer all these. By the time they drill her with questions she go know say cakky no be leather. A woman that has sacked 4 GMD's of NNPC during her time as minister. If her hands are clean why did she always sack them after few months or one year. This her bold face will disappoint with time.

If she thinks she upright and has nothing to fear why did she go to court seeking an interim injunction not to be investigated by senate and H of reps?
