I want Ibos here in Nairaland to know that there is a very bad blood and tension between us and it's not because of anything historically that we have done to bring this about. We are both victims of mis-fitting in a political space. The disharmony results from political power struggles in a political landscape hewned together by a foreigner.

Nonetheless, it is worth appreciating that thension is very managable through outlets such as Nairaland. What ordinarily would have erupted into fracas on streets is dissipated as heat and venom on internet.

I do not believe a Yoruba would fail to act and rescue an Ibo in a distress situation. Neither do I think if a Yoruba was struggling for life an Ibo nearby will refuse to act. Above and beyond the tension that tear us apart our humanity recognizes and responds to the inner emotions to preserve and nourish life.

I love my Ibo brothers and sisters....but we no go see eye to eye from now until Nigeria is finished and everybody go hin way.

Am yet to arrive at prostituting business, gradually we will meet there...


Meanwhile.. Someone should save this state...


What a disgrace

plaindealer:
Instead of paying attention to this disaster threatening their existence, they will fixate and die over Lagos, Tinubu and Osinbajo..


Sad..

LegendHero:
Yes, I became like that because of the actions of guys like that. For too long the Yorubas have been at the receiving end such that people blame us for things that are not our creation.

You do not need to take me serious bro, but if any of you try to come at us, then I will not spare your kind. We can be friends even when we have opposing views, and we should all learn to grow up and let love lead.

Elder statesman and Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, on Tuesday said the Igbos are free to carry out their threats of secession if denied the Presidency in 2023.

He admonished politicians from the South-Eastern part of the country who are nursing the idea of becoming President in 2023 to perish the thought.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Junaid said currently the South -East has not put forward a credible person who is qualified to lead Nigeria.

” I challenge Igbos to secede if they are denied Presidency in 2023. If they don’t secede, let them go to hell. They have tried secession before but they were defeated and failed and they lost over one million people”.

“If they want to secede again because of 2023 politics, they are more than welcome. You think anybody will beg them not to secede?” he asked .

You should know he responded based on the former guy response to him. How do you guys provocate people and expect them not to react?

IntrovertedK:
i know you and your kindred will be all over here wailing as usual.

Lagos is going down everyday? And who should we thank for that?

IntrovertedK:
your forefathers are the reason we are all here. Awolowo saw the future, he knew you people will rub us with your backwardness buh your greedy azikiwe align with the most backward people on earth to prove that you people are indeed backward yet he agree since it was two against one buh still maintaned that every nation should control their lands despite being in one bigger nation, what happened again? Another greedy fore-father of yours came and destroy the regional type of government again thinking that will eventually make Lagos ibo capital.

Yes, we suffer from the one Nigeria and regional govt cancellation buh we are grateful to God that your greediness made you the greatest and highest loser in the One Nigeria.

Igbo rapper Phyno spotted on a video with cool FM Lagos says I’m not an IPOB member nor Biafra but just an Igbo rapper.

To promote the album, the rapper who mainly delivers in his native Igbo tongue has embarked on a media tour which led him to Cool FM on Wednesday, September 4, 2019. While at the radio station, he had a chat with OAP, Do2tun.

During the chat, Do2tun asked Phyno how he felt about being pigeonholed as ‘just an Igbo rapper’ by asking, “Music is universal… But they try to box rappers like, ‘He’s a rapper from the East (of Nigeria). Do you like that?”

Phyno replied, “Trust me, I think it’s a box. I should be proud of where I’m from, right? But then again, making it feel like my music is just meant for people in that region is a box already.”

After Do2tun then said he know Phyno has been trying to change it, Phyno said, “Anything you put your energy in drains you. That shouldn’t be my problem, but then again, it’s a box generally, trust me. It’s not something I should be feeling good about. I’m a musician, I’m a rapper doing what I know how to do best, how I want to do it.

“But if you want to start judging from how people see you and put things in their heads, then you’d see this is already a box and it will be difficult to get out of it. So, just do your thing.”

Going further, Phyno explained why the ethnic diversity of Nigeria will forever influence how people respond to music they can understand. He then says, “Nobody says Tekno or Patoranking, the boy from the East, but they’re from the East. (They) probably (box me) because I make music in Igbo…



“But then again, Wiz does music in Yoruba whether you like it or not. Davido does music in Yoruba whether you like it or not. So why box only Olamide?”

When Do2tun was stunned, Phyno then said, “Exactly. It’s your native language. Speak it, be proud of it. Don’t box anybody for what they do. Do you really think I didn’t go to school or that I don’t have my certificate at the end of the day? This is how I know to do my music the best way I can.”

Before the chat ends, Phyno says that he thinks South African rapper should be responsible with his tweets. However, the Nigerian rapper says he never had a problem with AKA’s tweets in the wake of South Africa’s loss to Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Phyno’s 21-track project features prominent acts like Olamide, Runtown, Don Jazzy and so forth. On the album, Phyno excellently again rapped in his native Igbo tongue – even Davido joined him to speak Igbo on the track titled, ‘Ride For You.’

These guys still dont get it!

1. NO ONE has stopped ANYONE from throwing their hat in the ring!

2. You CAN NOT bludgeon your way through Nigerians to the presidency, neither can you BLACKMAIL THEM into voting for you IF THEY DONT WANT TO.

3. We have heard about Tinubu, Rufai, Bakere, et al having interest and perhaps working underground towards realizing ther dreams of being the president, WHO ARE THE IGBO CANDIDATES with interest ad working for it?

4. HOW MUCH VOTES DID MOGHALU get from his people in the last election?

5. How much votes did Ikemba of blessed memory get when he stood for election?

6. WHY CANT THE PDP ZONE ITS TICKET TO THE SOUTH EAST WHO'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR THE PARTY FOR TWO DECADES??

7. Does the South East insisting on APC giving them the ticket for 2023 imply that THEY HAVE NO HOPE IN PDP WINNING THE ELECTION?

8. How do you expect a party you have spent every single day vilifying SINCE ITS CREATION TO THE PRESENT DAY, to Zone its party ticket to you when the South West has every reason to be rewarded for their loyalty to the party?

9. What steps are the leaders in the East taking to align themselves with APC even though their subjects and some leaders call it AN ISLAMIC PARTY?

Simplyleo:
Nonsense and ingredients.

That office is a contested one and not given on the ground of cheap blackmail.

If you want it, vie for it, no one stops you from doing that and that is what others are doing.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said that a significant proportion of Nigeria’s prosperity today is concentrated in the hands of a few people.

He said those few people are currently living primarily in four or five states and the Federal Capital Territory.

The President said this at the opening session of the 25th Nigerian Economic Summit held in Abuja.

He said while only five states had most of the wealthy people, the remaining 31 states have about 150 million people waiting for better opportunities to thrive.

The President said a prosperous society is one where the majority of its citizens have an acceptable standard of living and a decent quality of life.

He said his administration understood the need for Nigerians to have a better lifestyle adding that this was why measures have been put in place to reduce the level of unemployment and poverty.

He said, ‘‘Today, many mistake prosperity with wealth. They are not necessarily the same.

‘‘Experts and analysts explain economic trends by making references to indicators of wealth.

‘‘Wealth, however, in its simplistic form, is money or other assets. In recent years, global events have shown that when a society and its leaders are driven and motivated by these alone, the ultimate outcome is a divided state of severe inequalities.

‘‘But a prosperous society is one where majority of its citizens have an acceptable standard of living and a decent quality of life,’’ he said.

The President also used the occasion to affirm that in addressing population growth, security and corruption matters in developing economies, policies and programmes must focus on promoting inclusivity and collective prosperity.

‘‘Nigeria is a country with close to 200 million people living in 36 states and the FCT.

‘‘A significant proportion of Nigeria’s prosperity today is concentrated in the hands of a few people living primarily in four or five states and the FCT. Some of the most prosperous Nigerians are here in this room.

‘‘This leaves the remaining 31 States with close to 150 million people in a state of expectancy and hope for better opportunity to thrive. This, in the most basic form, drives the migratory and security trends we are seeing today both in Nigeria and across the region,” he added.

All that you wrote here only proves that you are a foolish human being. Where do you Igbo get the notion anyone want you happy in this union labelled Nigeria ?! Most of you argue like your are indeed retarded. Get this, Nigeira is a fraud, no one cares about Igbos marginalisation, everyone is at every others threat to grab what it can. When will foolish Igbos understand this ?!

You Igbos come on NL n tell lies like you are lunatics. The foolish Oduah sacked every tribe at FAAN n replace over 90% of those sacked with Igbos no complain from smy Igbo idiots. Jonathan appointed an Igbo COAS no wahala, Buhari appointed a none Igbo your father is wailing of marginalisation as if when Igbo was there other tribe were not deprived.

The fooliahnees with which many of your foolish Igbos come online to peddle falsehood like you do cocaine is unimaginable. You claim a money policy turned you into pauper but am yet to see a single Igbo walk into any bank he or she as an account with his b4 Biafra war passbook n not paid. That your father are paid a single pound for lying they have a shilling at any bank which we all know they never did should be something your unborn generation should be grateful to Nigeria for.

Across the entire universe I am yet to see such gesture play out not even with the European or Americans. Listen good Igbos will be forced to stay in this contraption n there is nothing you or your father can do about it but you both are free to wail to death O. E no concern anybody.₩

The miserable Poverty Development Party now thrives on baseless and Useless allegations! No wonder Mr Timi Frank with his twisted mouth had the gut to accuse Osinbajo of stealing 90 billion. The woeful loss of elections back to back has made the thieves in that useless PDP to become ordinary beer parlour gossipers!!!!
