Jubilation all over in Nigeria? Meaning

No be only ''jubilation all over Nigeria''.

it should've been ''all over the solar system''.

argon500:
The question is why? Is it too late?

It is not too late. Unity will be achieved soon. But some things must happen first.

Its darkest before dawn. We are nearing that very dark hour in our history , but there's bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Nigeria is indeed a beautiful garden cared for by a very loving Gardener.

The writer of this ''epistle'' is clearly biased.

Editor’s note: The agitation for Republic of Biafra has been on the
front burner of discussion in the
last few months. The leader of
Independent People of Biafra
(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu was recently
granted bail after spending almost two years in detention over an
alleged declaration of Biafran
Republic via his radio station.

In a message sent to NAIJ.com, a Facebook user, Dan Ok writes on
what could happen to ethnic
minorities if Biafran Republic is
achieved.

It is obvious that from the list of
states - Abia, Akwa Ibom,
Anambra, Bayelsa, Cross River,
Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Rivers
states, Igbanke in Edo State, Igala
in Kogi State, and Idoma in Benue state, Biafra is not only made up of
Igbo-speaking people but has
other varieties and diverse
cultures.

Now back to the question of where
the other tribes will be kept if
Biafra is actualized. The relevance
of a thing is determined by the
role it plays at a certain time
especially in the face of difficulty. A man who sits and watches his
friends struggle to kill a bush meat
can never eat a fat share of such
meat.

This is simply the truth as his
friends might not even give him
any share in the meat but if given,
it will be out of bitterness and such
meat will not amount to anything.
No matter how generous those friends may be, the fact that he
was there, able and strong enough
to join them in the pursuit of the
bush meat but he did not, maybe
because he is a coward or he does
not see what his friends are doing as the right thing to do, they will
not see it nice at all giving him
anything out of the meat.

Looking at the three major
secessionist groups, their
leadership are all Igbos, their
membership are all Igbos and the
struggle over the years after the
Civil War have been carried on by mainly Igbos. I begin to wonder
where these people will place
other tribes especially Cross River
and Akwa Ibom if their dream is
realized.

The blood that has continued to
spill after the Civil War in pursuit
of Biafra is the blood of the Igbos,
those who have been wounded in
this after-war agitation are the
Igbos, those who have been arrested and made to suffer are
the Igbos, and those who are still
calling for a Sovereign State of
Biafra are the Igbos.

What makes any of the other
tribes constituting the non-
existing Biafran nation think that
its people will be kept in a better
place if this nation finally comes
true? You cannot detach the above sentiment from it. Or maybe you
can but an Igbo man or woman
cannot.

There will always be questions like
"how many of them fought with
us?", “how many of them
protested with us?” How many of
them were arrested?", "how many
of them were killed?" and so on. The born-to-rule mentality will be
birthed inside the Igbos once the
nation of Biafra is achieved.

They will see themselves as the
sole owners of such a country.
Considering the level of greed in
the Igbo land and how power
hungry the Igbos are, they might
declare to be President of Biafra for more than a thousand years to
compensate them on the fight for
Biafra before any other tribe can
be President.

In fact, all other important
positions will be held only by the
Igbos. Let's face reality, this feeling
or sentiment of “I did It alone or
we single-handedly did it" will
never be overlooked. Other tribes will be fighting to get positions.
The internal war that will come is
unpredictable. There will be a
strong feeling of Igbo superiority
over other tribes.

Other tribes will be made to be
inferior. Yes! This is so, because
the struggle is the Igbos', it was
not supposed to be so, but it has
been made to be so; it has become
an Igbo thing and it will definitely become an Igbo nation if such
nation is actualized.

Let us not fool ourselves, let's face
the truth. These guys will become
demigods if not gods in such a
nation. Following the struggle, we
can all see that it is only the Igbos
that are involved, but I wonder why they (Igbos) keep on carving
in other states or tribes into their
map when they know what they
will become if the achieve Biafra.

A keen follower of the struggle so
far should be concerned about the
question "what will be the place of
other tribes or ethnic groups in
the Sovereign State of Biafra?”

This article does not in any way
suggest my support for or my
stance against the struggle for the
independence of Biafra because
the UN has given everyone the
right to self -determination.

Nawa o.

So others dey place their red carpet, white carpet etc for ground, this guy carry him own carpet for waist.

Complete loon.

The Enugu State Chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned of dire consequences from it if the Presidency and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) went ahead with their alleged plan to frame the deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu. This is as the Youth wing of the socio- cultural body has commenced sensitization for the Igbo to obtain voters registration cards and be ready for future elections.

The group, in a statement yes- terday, signed by Chief Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, President Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Enugu State Chapter said, “Our attention has been drawn to the revelation by a patriotic Nigerian on the plot allegedly being hatched by the Presidency
and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to frame up the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu with the intention of bringing him to public opprobrium and remove him from office. “The kernel of this revelation is a plot to plant huge amounts of foreign currencies and firearms in the residence of the Deputy Senate President and use that as guise to arrest and detain him. “Even when the EFCC has denied such plot, we have reasons to believe that such plot
is feasible going by the sequence of events that has taken place since June 2015.” They said the denial by the EFCC notwithstanding, “we wish to warn, in the strongest terms possible, that the Enugu State Chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo will not sit idly by and watch our son being maligned; oppressed or ridiculed by the Presidency or the EFCC. In the event of this plot being put into action, the people of Enugu State will mobilise in their numbers to resist such barefaced blackmail.

“We are not unmindful of the fact that this plot gained currency with Senator Ekweremadu’s role in perfecting the bail conditions of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB), who was granted bail recently with stringent conditions. “For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Ekweremadu did what he was supposed to do in the circumstance as a firm believer in the rule of law and justice. May we reiterate our strong resolve to resist any plot against Ike Ekweremadu in the manner that has been revealed. A word is enough for the wise.”

Father to the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu, HRM (Eze) Israel
Okwu Kanu, has declared President
Muhammadu Buhari as an enemy
of Igbo people because he (Buhari) allegedly harbours hatred against
people of the South East.

The monarch made the declaration
while reacting to a question on
how he will regard the President
now that Kanu has been released
with regards to Buhari’s initial
disposition to the agitator.

Speaking with The Sun, the
traditional ruler said, “I
wouldn’t say enemy of the
family, but that of the Igbo race
because I have never seen this
type of hatred of a people before. Court will rule to set a person free
and the president who is supposed
to be the father of all will say no,
making a mockery of the judiciary
in the process.”

On withdrawing the charges
leveled against the Director of
Radio Biafra, he said, “Why not,
did they get any gun or knife from
Nnamdi? It was his mouth he used
in talking and since we have freedom of speech in the country, I
don’t think he has committed
any crime that will warrant him
being tried in court.

“It was because they have
nothing substantial against him
that they are trying to bring
masked men as witnesses against
him, God forbid. I am appealing to
the Federal Government to set Nnamdi free by withdrawing all
the charges, because he has not
come to kill anybody.”

A united south may not be such a bad idea (at least to check the excesses of the North), but the suspicion and rivalry taken to absurd limits no be here.

A former Aviation Minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has noted that the
rivalry existing between the Igbos
in the South-East and the Yorubas
of the South West has been the
source of strength for the Hausa/ Fulani in Northern Nigeria.

Recall that the leadership of the
Movement for the Actualization of
the Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, yesterday warned the
South easterners against being
carried away by the recent solidarity they are getting from
the Yorubas.

The group went further to
describe them as hypocrites, who did everything to exterminate the
Igbo race during the Civil War.

MASSOB was reacting to the leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu’s visit to Fani-Kayode’s home in Abuja few days after his release from prison.

However, in what could be a
reaction to MASSOB statement, the
former Minister wrote via
@realFFK, his twitter handle,
“Division, Suspicion, acrimony
and unhealthy rivalry between the Igbo and Yoruba is the oxygen
that gives strength to Northern
hegemony.”

Big ups, bro.

More power.

mbaboy:
Northernocracy is what we practice in Nigeria

True, and its been horrendous, unjust and a sheer waste of time. But thank God we are at the tail end of it. We are at the turn of a glorious era. The people that think that Nigeria is their father's estate will be ''not-too-pleasantly'' surprised.

Not the best of sights.

The Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign
State of Biafra (MASSOB),
Thursday, called on Ndigbo not to
be deceived by the recent show of
solidarity to the Biafra course by the Yorubas.

MASSOB took the stand in a
statement signed by its leader,
Comrade Uchenna Madu, where he
also condemned Lt Gen Alani
Akinrinade over his reported
regret of the killing of unprotected Biafran civilians during the civil
war.

Madu said it was shocking that
“suddenly, the celebrated
Yoruba hero realised that he
participated in error because in his
face, Biafra actualization and
restoration is consciously glaring, and can never be frustrated again.

“After enjoying the spoils of
Biafra war and benefitting from it
in all sorts of ways, Akinrinade is
now repentant shouting for the
same true federalism General
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu agitated for.

“He now regrets because the
cane used on the first wife is now
being applied to them. When the
whipping of the first wife was
going on the favorite second wife
was joyful and pandered to the ego of their ahusband.

“Since nothing lasts forever (not
even love), the second wife is
suddenly at the receiving end and
she now realizes how evil her
husband is.”

The MASSOB also advised Ndigbo
to stop celebrating Femi Fani
Kayode as an Igbo hero “for
coincidentally attended Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu’s court session the
day he was granted bail or because he met Nnamdi Kanu in
kuje prison during his sojourn to
prison for his criminal case of
corruption.”

Madu cautioned that “our
enemies must not be celebrated
more than our own heroes.

“In as much as our brother Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu can visit anybody he
wishes, Ndigbo must learn from
our past and history.

“All of a sudden, Femi Fani
Kayode is being celebrated now as
Igbo hero because he utilises an
opportunity. This is the same Femi
Fani Kayode that poured
invectives on Igbos last year with no singular regard or respect for
Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu (Eze Igbo Gburugburu) to
the extent of claiming that
Ojukwu’s wife was his girlfriend;
he even assaulted Iyom Bianca Ojukwu that he impregnated her.

“He deliberately insulted Ndigbo
and spited on the person of
Ikemba. It is regrettable now that
some uninformed Igbo people are
singing praises of Kayode as a
great champion of the Ndigbo.”

“Our people need to be guided
by history. MASSOB wishes to
remind the people of Biafra the
subtlety of Oduduwa people which
was seen on the January 1966 coup
that was occasioned by the unrest in the West, that was planned to
release Obafemi Awolowo and
install him the Prime Minister.

“Things got out of hand and
snowballed into a civil war. The
Yorubas pitched tent with the rest
of Nigeria and fought the people of
Biafra to the bitter end. Awolowo
who it was alleged the coup plotters wanted to install as
Nigeria leader devised starvation
as war strategy and £20 as
poverty policy against the people
of Biafra. Then, the Yoruba nation
lost its voice when the going was good for them.

“As Biafrans, we must be
cautious because a leopard never
changes its spots. Recently, there
was mayhem in Ife between the
Yorubas and the Hausa
community. After the initial sound and fury, they have resorted to a
quiet diplomacy for settlement.”

Fine gurl.

Sweet gal.

Smellymouth:
She'll get wrinkles and you'll became fat.
Appearance is important but not a vital factor to consider..

Try her personality, her charms, and her insights.
Explore what's going on in her head.
Beauty is just skin deep.

There is no point ending up with Miss naija when you cant even hold a conversation with her.

Truckload of sense.

Cowardly act. Dey form rambo on top civilian.

Boko haram dey north-east dey beg una make una come shoot. Una no gree. U dey south dey take unarmed, innocent people dey shine.

Nice one. A time is coming (and it is almost here) when all Igbos (in Akwa Ibom, edo, delta, rivers, benue and in other places) will come together and unite under ONE umbrella so as to fulfill our mandate as a people.

I only feel for those that dread the thought of unity among Igbos. It will surely happen.

Why do they keep using the word 'share' as if people are being generous by posting their nude pics online?
I think the right heading should be: '' Fat lady fools herself, posts her nude pictures online'' .

Well, I'm Igbo, and I WON'T marry outside my tribe.

Complete lunatic.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
You think so when he can have any young lady with a snap of finger?

True that.

Even though he appears to have a special attachment to his ex wife . He put up such a fight against the dissolution of the marriage.

He's just missing the woman.

Congrats, nwanne.

Many more returns.

Then jump

By Eniola Daniel, Lagos.
Sir: I write in response to Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu’s statement the other day, warning aspirants to the much coveted governorship position of Lagos State not to dare contest against his ‘son’, the incumbent governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode come 2019 elections.
But the royal father should realise that with the rise of poverty in the land, more Lagosians are willing to jump into the lagoon at the slightest opportunity, as things, especially costs of living escalate by the day. These are the things Oba Akiolu should encourage his ‘godson’, Akinwunmi Ambode to do rather than campaign for election which is over two years to hold from now.
In 2015, the monarch threatened to throw into the lagoon any Igbo living in Lagos that voted against Ambode who, although, has so far performed better than some of his contemporaries in the neighbouring states.
Oba Akiolu, who many alleged, was under the influence of Dutch courage when he threatened the Igbo in 2015, the story some of the politicians in APC have denied, should know by now that his comment lives after him. Whatever gave the highly revered monarch the power to speak in that manner, that he can throw anyone into the lagoon, must realise that many people have already accepted the challenge.
Does the office of the seven chiefs empowered to regulate the power of any Yoruba monarch still exist? If not, the office must be restored, not only to regulate but also to revive the Yoruba culture. Since Ambode government is ever ready to confront any challenges that come with governance in the state as already being witnessed in the provision of basic amenities such as road construction and repairs, medical services such as mobile clinics and enlightenment campaigns to sensitise people to government policies and others, he can still win the 2019 election without any proclamation from any godfather.
And the Oba of Lagos must know that this is a free society where everyone is at liberty to vote for whoever he wishes. Oba Akiolu should stop intimidating Lagosians.

Beautiful girl. Congratulations.

Wow, so this his Igbo wife's name is now Farida.

ExcelNG:
I am disappointed that Nairalanders are getting fooled by this worthless, hopeless, useless and idiottic fellow. A universal liability whose live revolves around peddling lies.

Most of the news this progeria ridden Buffon spreads on Nairaland are outright lies. Like go through his profile... Even an idiott will know its all lies.

The videos he publishes too are outright lies. Poorly edited and tampered with. Most times, he adds his own voice too. He does it in a bid to get popular, make money of Youtube videos, get noticed by an APC politician and then buy bread for his hunger ravished hopeless immediate family.

Am suspecting he is either an Ikwerre retardedd fellow or one Okpa gobbling Wood pecker from Enugu state.


Listen and believe him at your own peril.

''Okpa bobbing WOOD PECKER''.

Prominent Igbo sons and
daughters yesterday said that
Nigeria’s unity would be
enhanced when someone from the
South East region is given a chance
to rule the country when the tenure of the present
administration elapses.

Former governor of Enugu State,
Okwesilieze Nwodo made the call
at the International Easter Retreat
for Ndigbo at home and the
Diaspora hosted by the Minister of
Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu in Uburu, Ebonyi
State.

He urged Nigerians to support the
Igbo presidency because it was a
veritable means of achieving the
desired unity in the
country.Nwodo said: “The Igbo
are the most detribalized people in Nigeria and an Igbo president
would ensure fairness and justice
to all groups of people in the
country which would guarantee
fairness.

“An Igbo president would ensure
that all tribes are treated
equitably because if he fails, Igbo
residing in these tribes would bear
the brunt of his misrule through
attacks and otherwise.”

He noted that an Igbo president
would therefore, not want to
endanger the lives and property of
his people as this would make him
ensure that all segments of the
country receive equal treatment.

“Nigeria should be restructured
to ensure that all ethnic groups
harness their economic potentials
to ensure the development of the
country.He called on the
governors of the South-East states to make lands available for the
establishment of an export-free
zone to bring the desired
economic empowerment and
enhancement of the Igbo.

Speaking, Onu thanked the
organisers of the event and noted
that it would proffer solutions to
the nagging problems confronting
the Igbo nation.“Igbo and
Nigerians should depend less on importation of foreign
commodities in order to come out
of recession and ensure economic
growth and sustainability,” he
said.

Professor of Political Economy
from the University of Nigeria,
Nsukka(UNN) Prof. Obasi Igwe,
noted that the present geo-
political zone structure in the
country does not favour the South East, adding: “The Igbo should
look ahead of this arrangement
and political parties to get
economic and social freedom to
achieve its goals and develop their
region.

Stakeholders from across the
country and the Diaspora used the
occasion to share their thoughts
on how to develop the Igbo race
and meet its political and social
aspirations.
