Ugwuoke347:
I like your spirit.
There shall be no conflict.
We will see to that.
Biafra and Nigeria or her surviving nations shall become friends and good neighbours with robust multilateral trading co-operation in place.
Intense efforts shall be made to promote co-operation and friendship.
That there was war does not mean we should remain foes forever.
We should bear in mind that we are primarily Black Africans. Our Blackness loads us with a sacred duty to strongly push for friendship and brotherhood among all Black African Nations.
I personally trust strongly that the right crop of men with the right attitude will take charge; men seasoned by natural wisdom, conciliatory politeness and deliberate diplomacy.
We must deradicalize our people so that they understand that we seek freedom from Nigeria, and not enmity.
The goal is to assert independence from the Nigerian State. We do not seek to become her eternal enemy.
An independent Biafra shall be a big plus to Nigeria and all her surviving states, nay; the whole of Black Africa. This is hinged on the fact that Biafra shall definitely do business with Nigeria and all the post-Nigeria states that will emerge from her. There shall be mutual relations, intense co-operation and robust exchanges. We are clearly geographically well-knitted and carefully positioned by nature to co-operate intensely with one another.
Enough of the bitterness and scare-mongering. We will definitely do mightily good as friends and good neighbours. We have all the capacity to do so. That is exactly what we are meant to do judging from all that has happened right from the dawn of the 1914 amalgamation till date.

Igboland is big enough to stand as a country. I mean from Agbor down to Nnsuka, to Isobo and then mapped to Ndoki, we can thrive as a separate nation. However, why not seek for regionalism, as it was before. I'm sure even the South West are committed to regionalism that will favor every party involve.

Ebubu6:
Ebonyi have done their own
Enugu have done their own

Anambra state should do better

Ebonyi is not part of Biafra land. Stay away from Ebonyi or die

This is so painful. These are all Igbos youths dying in their young age. So sad.
Simon EKpa is in Finland, enjoying with his family while sending our youths to their early graves.
Ivere o

Ndi Igbo, we are the ones attracting unnecessary attention to ourselves, regardless the fact that some quarters are deliberately on a smear and hate campaign against us.
If only we can learn to choose our battles with wisdom. Currently we are at loggerhead with Asari. Someone we should have totally ignored.
We couldn't learn from Kanu on how he ignored Asari Dokubo at the early stage of their beef. Kanu acted like he wasn't existing. That was total wisdom.
If you go to Asari's page, igbos are there in their numbers hauling insults and all manner of threats. It is wisdom to keep quiet and plan. Once you keep talking and blabbing you make yourself more vulnerable.
We have a task to sensitize our people on engagement, especially in the face of provocation. Wisdom is profitable to direct. You win wars with wisdom, tact and strategies... and in every wars, you need allies, not enemies all round...

HitlerWasRight:
All those states do not produce up to 100k barrels .


Ondo tar fields hold the largest reserves of both tar and oil in the world .

Lagos marginal oil fields produce as much oil as Anambra .

Besides , the oil fields in Anambra belong to igala land and we will see to it being ceded to Kogi in due time.

You talk too much, with so much arrogance. Hitler once felt like you, a god, but an idiot. I hope you know how Hitler ended?
Be careful. Stop typing rubbish nairaland and think you are anonymous. Make hand no touch you soon.

OP, let me give you the position of ndi Igbo on this matter, I mean Ohaneze ndi Igbo, we have removed our mind on anything Igbo Presidency. Our major objective is the development of Igboland and possibly an additional state that will reclaim all our lands carved into other regions.
If the Tribunal rules in favor of Peter Obi, good and fine, but if not, we are supporting Tinubu to give good governance to all. If Nigeria is good, even the Igbo man will benefit more.
On the other hand, if the Nigerian government should conduct a referendum, I will personally vote for Igbo exit out of Nigeria.
Go and search on recent Ohaneze President interview and get this fact.
Stop opening threads in the name of Ndi Igbo and be sounding like our spokesman.

Parachoco:


So the Present Governor of Rivers State is an Igbo man , he's not Ijaw by blood but by water

I wander why you guys love attaching yourself with the Ijaws

Nah so una dey attach unaself to the Ikwerres too

You guys don't even know that Wike played you people six one. Fubara may be Ijaw by name and association, but bro, Opobo are pure Igbos both by language and culture. We have video evidence to this. Why Wike no allow Kalabari or Okrika win the election in Rivers state?
Just dey play

I did a thread on why Igbos should leave Asari alone. The more you respond to him, the more you give him publicity.
I don't support unruliness. Go to his page and observe how our Igbo brothers are insulting the day light out of him.
Why not just leave him alone. We have more pressing issue than Asari Dokubo.
And who knows, if Tinubu will end up a creating a better Nigeria for all, that is if the Supreme Court vindicate his government.
But should Nigeria conduct a referendum, the better for ndi Igbo to leave in peace.
Ndi Igbo, sometimes, silence is golden.

NOwazobia:
You guys only resorted to the manner in which Jamb handle the matter, after you lose all your attacking darts.


it is like a man who lose a war, but instead of surrendering that he has lost, resorted to attacking the defending side with the manner they won the war.

grow up and learn to call wrong by its name, instead of using emotional blackmail to triggered tribal victimization, when the highest was still from your tribe.

So you believed Igbos would have gone to riot because one minor was accused of forging result?

I support Asari Dokubo. FG should look into the matter seriously. Igbos really need to be expelled from Nigeria.
The level of hate against Igbos can only be equated to the Nazi against the Jews. It is alarming.
Igbo politicians, I hope you guys are observing and gauging the political atmosphere?
Don't think you will be safe, should this hate translates to physical violence.
Amend the constitution so Igbos can exit the union peacefully

NOwazobia:
While I so much detest this man, I would have to agree with him on this.


The tribal card they have been playing with the girl's result would have been consolidated, and the tension would have been far greater.


JAMB would have been called out to cancel this year sitting.


Very pathetic set.

Yes, Peter Obi was my candidate, but I am not fanatical about it.

For you to agree with such sentimental laced post reveals your levels of intelligence. What most Igbos, including me protested against was the manner in which JAMB went public with the whole issue, without allowing DSS finished their investigation. Most of us were rooting on the fact that she is a minor, and deserves some level of empathy, until proven guilty.
Igbos have seen worst than this JAMB issue, and we did not riot, is it common JAMB that is only relevant in Nigeria that Igbos will risk their businesses and lives to riot?
We did not riot when our shops were burnt down during the election, neither did we riot when some of our brothers were maimed or killed because of the election, na common JAMB we go riot. What do you people even take us for?

What is wrong with you is simply Igbophobia. Whether you support Peter Obi that is your cup of tea.
And for your information, Igbos have removed their mind on anything igbo presidency, so whether Peter Obi win or loss in the tribunal, we are moving on. It is your personal choice to support Peter Obi, nobody forced you.

Reno Omokiri is one fellow that sleeps and wake on Igbo matter. His head
is always thinking and brainstorming on the next lies and contents to generate
on Igbos. What a sad way to exist.
Igbos were not rioting when their shops was demolished or when they were disfranchised na this small chikini JAMB wahala they will riot for?
Did you, Reno Omokiri, not read here when an Igbo guy was ready to sponsor that girl on scholarship?
You should find something better to do with your time than your daily meditation on Igbos.

Such a lousy fellow.

bakol:
Sometimes , I feel this platform is made up of majorly secondary school children. There is a high level of lack of understanding being displayed here on public issues.

First, VAT is in an Indirect Tax under the purview of the FG. It is remitted to the purse of the federation account via the FIRS. Hence, your statement as to the fact that the FG does not have the business of collecting VAT from the informal sector is out of sheer ignorance.

Second, Govt is not taxing the market people and other informal sector, rather the VAT is payable by the consumers and not the market men/women. When you buy a tuber of Yam from Shoprite, the amount u pay is inclusive of VAT. SHOPRITE only has the duty of remitting that 7.5% VAT u paid to FG. Same thing is being projected here for the informal sector.

Third, the informal sector is part of the TAX NET of any government all over the world. In the case of Nigeria, some of them if not the majority of the Informal sector are outside the TAX NET because of lack of data. Government is now trying to bridge that GAP and some of you guys are just displaying ignorance on the issue.

To correct the wrong Information u guys are spinning, the market men and women are not the ones to pay the VAT. It is the consumers who patronise them that will pay it just the way you pay it happily at the shopping malls. The market men and women are to remit such to govt.

Everything should not be viewed from parochia angle.
Peace
.

How can you keep taxing people when you can't even provide steady electricity?

OP, I support you on this. Instead of Nigerians to execute another genocide on ndi Igbo, they should allow Igbos go. The amount of hate I see against Igbos is scary, especially from the Yorubas.
And please, stop limiting Igboland to the 5 South Eastern States. Yes, referendum should be conducted in all Igbo speaking areas.

YorubaNinja:
Those pple are pests everywhere they go. Very useless and destructive! They should all be wiped out from the surface of the earth.

It is your tribe that will be wiped out the face of the earth, not ndi Igbo.

Beremx:
Seems the only way to lobby and get favours from APC government is to be attacking Igbos. The ones who were genuinely appointed by Tinubu got no issues.
Wetin Igbo people do Asari biko?

The ruling party operate just like the Nazi Party of defunct third Reich. They came to power through anti Semitism and Bolshevism, after defeating the communist, to stay in power, they had to make a scape goat out of the Jews. This was carefully handled by Joseph Goebel, the propaganda minister, a failed writer who harbored personal intense hatred for the Jews. He successfully turned the German people against the Jews, which was not so from the start, until the state sanctioned and sponsored a brutal genocide on the Jews.
The ruling party has been very anti Igbo, both by rhetoric and online propaganda.
Funny that we have Igbo governors and senators from the same party. I hope they are observing the trend and do something fast before it spiral out of control. the remarks and comments you read here is just real and never to taken for granted.
On a serious note, if FG will allow Igbos go, I mean Igbos both South East and South South, that will be a beautiful thing, at least, everyone will have a lasting peace and defined boundary.

proeast:
Several global experts in their independent studies have stated that 9 cities will disappear by 2100. The cities include Alexandria, Egypt. Lagos, Nigeria. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Basra, Iraq and Georgetown, Central America. However, out of the 9 cities, only Lagos and Ho Chi Minh City are in grave danger of disappearing by 2050. A mere 27 years from now!

Again, of the two cities in grave danger, Lagos is worse off. With a coast line of over 100 miles that lie almost at sea level, the experts warn that the entire city would go under water if the ocean rises by just a few feet! Unlike Ho Chi Minh City that will only see parts of it going under.

The UN and other global bodies have continued to call on countries to drastically cut down on emissions. Unfortunately, this has fallen on deaf ears as emissions continue to spike around the world. The immediate effect has been vast melting of ice in the polar regions and steady increase in the volume of oceans.

Considering that there is nothing we can do to save Lagos, it's now sensible for Federal government to start moving our institutions out of Lagos. More awareness should also be created so that individuals will understand the situation. Many Nigerians are not aware of this and they've continued to invest in the face of such high risk ecological disaster.

Already, keen observers have started noticing unusual floods in Lagos, in recent times.

Smart people take proactive measures while foolish ones ignore until it's too late.

Nna desist from creating thread as this. Stop attracting hostilities and insults to ndi Igbo because of needless thread. Let them worry about their Lagos while we worry about our home towns. Sometimes we just let this people be, judging from the fact that most of them don't like Igbos.

theophorus:
Just yesterday I saw one of your post and asked myself why do you do this comparison and Measurement thing?

See ehn, if na the state Govt employ you, it means dey have Very Big Problem. But if na you employ yourself Kai Odikwa very serious ooo.

Worst na if na like this all of una people dey think, it means...

Don't be selective in your judgement. Observe how a post mocking Anambra Fire Service made a front page. It was started by Kemi on Facebook. I was surprised when it made front page here. There is nothing wrong for him to correct the mis information.
I wonder why Anambra is getting these myriads of attack. I hope this is not connected to Peter Obi

Agromuda:
Why do those from that side like to add tribal coloration to make them look like victims in all situations? After all, the real/authentic winner/ highest JAMB scorer is still from the East, precisely same Anambra.
The lady is actually brilliant by scoring above 250 but her handlers engaged in fraud and should be made to face the consequences and NOT the you g girl.
Please stop politicizing and adding ethnic coloration to issues. It makes those doing that "stewpid"

I'm sure you watched the video, if not just take time and watch again. JAMB called the DSS and she made an entry.
It is proper for JAMB to wait for DSS investigation before going public, which is the crux here.
If that girl is your sister I'm sure you will fault JAMB on their hasty conclusion.

Luukasz:
Yes extremely stupid like your ancestors.. you Igbos are terrible people to be honest

You have nothing in your head other than tribalism. You are the terrible person here. She has
made entries with the DSS, it is common sense to allow investigation completed before any finger pointing, but
the tribalism that has eaten deep into you wouldn't allow you see clearly. Very wicked beings that populate this shit hole of a
country. No wonder the country keeps getting worst.

Anambra currently leads in education in the entire federation regardless this JAMB debacle, no doubt about it. The story of the girl vs JAMB seems too one sided. How can a girl of 16 manipulate JAMB result just like that. Media trial is not always true. I just hope this is not politically motivated.

The North will even fare better than the South East, because government infrastructure and intervention is heavily concentrated there.
We in the South East have to pay for every drop of fuel we use, through our sweats and also may not have adequate access to government sponsored intervention. Worry for us down here, and not the North. The only solution, like I said, is to hustle harder. No easy way out.

Buhari will be child's play to what these guys are up to. I said it here before, should Tinubu win, ndi Igbo ga fu ose.
Everything na pepper body for them

Another day, another Igbo thread. It is just a trend that will never die, as long as nairaland exist. A group of people are so fixated on Igbo you begin to wonder if this is not becoming a sickness. Anyway, if only my Igbo brothers can QUIETLY READ AND PASS WITHOUT COMMENTING, HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WILL BE.

seeme2:
Igbos hijacked his government and we started hearing things like, his third name is Azikiwe. He so derailed that he started to rob it in the face of the SW. Elders met with him to table their concern, he promised to change but didn't. Inspite of all that all Yoruba Obas prayed for him and publicised their support for his second term but when Jagaban stepped in, the end came for his presidency.

Today he is one of Jagaban's best friends. He has learnt his lessons. He understands his belonging to a minority was exploited by the SE and that's why he holds no grudge against the SW today.

Bros, how did Igbo hijacked his government? How? Pplease tell me. By sitting as Vice President, or Senate President, or Leader of the House?
Which position did Igbos occupied and kept others off from it? The entire political appointment was evenly spread. If he had his majority support from grass root Igbos, it is simply because he was from the old Eastern region, and I see nothing wrong if he was given a nick name by Igbos.
You guys are just full of bitterness and used media power to chase him out. Now that you have been in power for th past 8 years, what has changed? Are we not worst than ever? Carry this una one side propaganda go sidon one place.
Igbos will continue to exist, if una like make una tumble everywhere in the name of sophisticated politics, na here we go dey observe una.

Madmohamed123:
If asiri dokubo kill 10 people 10 of our people we will kill 200 Ijaw man and woman we will take the fight to Ijaw land soon we open a camp in karabari kingdom.

That is only way to stop that pig
If Asiri dokubo people keep on keeping quiet and thire son is killing our people they should not talk when we start our own.

We will revenge the killing of our people by Ijaw.

Some of you guys that open random posts on Igbo really need to shut out of this forum and possibly get arrested. We know how to handle our issues, not by coming online to rant like a fool.

A revolution is needed in this country to set things right
But you know the funny thing a revolution can not happen in Nigeria because tribalism is still very in our head

Ya all should fasten your seat belt...Nigeria is gonna get worse
We can no longer deceive ourselves..
Okay you all should imagine..fuel price increase and we heard it is gonna be increased to 700
Tertiary institution fee hike...elected officers salary to be increased by 114, 1k yearly car ownership certificate to be introduced..what about our normal car registration documents is that not enough evidence we own the car
Electricity hike is on its way
Nlc is a toothless bulldog and no protest anywhere
The people can not protest because it will be seen as fighting against a particular region because their son is the president
Same thing happened during end sars protest...the north did not participate because their son was the president
Maybe we should wait until a south south son becomes the president again then a protest can happen just like the way it happened during Jonathan subsidy removal
We should stop deceiving ourselves tribalism is ruining us in Nigeria

Nigeria will never get better, because of tribalism, the only solution is to make more money. It will get worst from here.

"On the need to restore the British Council and the UK visa facilitation centre to Enugu, Mbah emphasised: “I have told you some of the historic roles Enugu had played in the history of the South and there could be no better place to site a visa facilitation centre than Enugu. So, we are looking forward to that to boost trade, investment, and cooperation between the UK and our state”.

With airport operating International flights and embassies operating in SE...who cares about what happens elsewhere.

This will take a little time but it will help the region massively

Once other airlines start coming in and other embassies open sub-offices in the East,,,

Voila...

The first time I landed in Lagos was in 2013 when my mum was traveling to South Africa. I was made to understand that visa and travel documentation can only be processed in Lagos and Abuja. I hated the idea, regardless how young I was then. Why come all the way to Lagos before you can process your document and then board a flight to South Africa? Why not do it some where close?
If every region can handle their travel documentation and visa issuance and also accommodate direct foreign flights, I bet you the population of Igbos in South West will drastically reduce.
I also beseech stake holders in the South East to work in getting a thriving port in the East, or partnering with any Southern State, like Calabar or Akwa Ibom for a functional seaport that can serve the entire Eastern cities.

lexy2014:
Which states are building independent agric systems?

How has the FG been subsidizing rice and garri in Anambra for years?

From the report, the programme started in 2015. What were people in Anambra eating before then?

Is it only Anambra state this programme is being implemented? If it isn't, are you now saying that the FG is subsidizing food for residents of those other states?

So that you don't get yourself confused, the essence of these programmes is to boost food production just like the ADPs and not to stop hunger. It is what is in existence that is boosted. Meaning that farmers in those states were already engaged in food production before the programmes.

So your conclusion that Anambra state is living on food subsidy is just an attempt at mischief and display of gross ignorance

Whenever you read comments as such, you just laugh and skip over. Don't even waist your time replying them. Most of them are on paid program to promote anti Igbo propaganda. it will keep getting worst this period. What we observed during the election might be child's play compared to what is coming. Anambra is a poor state, agreed, but reality on ground speaks otherwise. No dey even follow them talk. Remind me where Choscharis Rice Farm is located again.

Keep doing it let's see who it will favour. Yorubas have more social capital globally. Look how they finished GEJ so bad that CNN did a documentary on him calling him names. Don't let this war start. It will affect your businesses and your chances.

A word is enough for the wise my Igbo people.

So you know what you guys deliberately destroyed Goodluck Jonathan, yet turn around to accuse Igbos of messing up Jonathan's government?

udemzeus:
Hi guys I am considering investing in the SE, I am igbo, I want to support both infrastructural development and human capital development, what's wrong with security in the SE.

This should not be a difficult thing to do, the smallest unit if a state are it towns, Anambra should secure it towns that's where the criminals are hibernating from, form a vigilante force equip them and pay them bi weekly it will end, all these mess, development should begin from the town's


Pls can we talk about this??

Businesses are doing quiet well in the South East, from Awka down to Abakeleke, businesses of different types and categories are thriving. Come down, do your feasibility studies and invest without fear.
