While Ipob youths were earnestly yearning for Abacha and their top politicians like Nzeribe were rooting for IBB to become civilian president for life, those you call afonja today were in the trenches fighting to end military rule. IBB was chased out tail between legs while Abacha was hounded to the grave.
Welcome to trench world, let's see what you achieve with your battle against Buhari, we are just observing

Keballl:
Buhari is an immeasurable failure. Even the devil will be ashamed to associate with him. There is absolutely no adjectives to describe how disastrous and destructive he is.

codedslayer:
I am Yoruba and dont support it. Even though we both hate each other, i wont support any evil to you guys.

Pidggin:
Boko Haram was a created to remove Jonathan.

progress69:
This is not about being tribalistic, but you igbos have to take a chill pill. Sometimes the comments u guys make are just too senseless.

Imagine a civilian,known terrorist and rebel buying decommissioned war ships on behalf on a whole Nigerian Navy. That is the height of stupidity and Foolishness. It goes beyond a sane man's comprehension.

Its not news that the Airforce tru the forner CAS bought useless jets fir outrageous amounts, this all led to the death of Civilians and Military personnels.

Jonathan and all previous service cheifs, allowed the war against BH to fester for long long, and spinning out of control simply because of the blood they were making from it.

Jonathan was juat there like an Epka, a figure head, being spinned and deceived around.

izombie:
List of 29 names with 25 northerners. This shows that if there are 1000 people working for customs, 950 will be northerners.

Tonyebarcanista,
The best approach to break power in the North is what Yorubas have been doing silently until it was unveiled publicly recently.

There is no unity in North. There is more minority population distribution in the North than in the South. What the Northerners do is pay for patriotism. The Fulanis are suspicious of Hausas, they do not trust the Kanuris and despise the minorities but yet want to hold it all together and prevent a political common front that will oppose and displace the Fulani hegemony.

Lugard was the Governor General that amalgamated North and South, his first assignment was Governor of Northern Nigeria. He brought his power and authority from North to bear in the overall administration of the joint regions when he transitioned from Governor to Governor General. He had a style which was indirect rule. He approached the Emirs for consultation on policies that impacted public. Therefore when he left Kaduna for Lagos he did not stop getting advise and thoughts from the North, even on those policies that had nothing to do with North. He regarded them as more willing partners to cement Colonial power in Nigeria, opposed to those in South agitating for end of Colonial power. He was able to get the Emirs support and loyalty by a simple strategy. He promised to hold the gate of Christian missionary works closed and away from the Emirates. In exchange they partnered with him to make the governance of North smooth and seamless.

The Fulani Emirs are afraid of a competing faith and belief system to supplant and gain popularity in North. This is why they massacre people of Southern Kaduna, Bauchi, Plateau, Benue, Borno....and so on. They fear encroachment of Christianity. They kill off Christian men and boys and kidnap the young girls, force them into conversion and take ownership and call it irreversible. Lol.

Let's focus on how to disrupt and displace Fulani in North by raising and empowering a competitive political bloc that is under Fulani....but anti-Fulani.

They sense the increased agitation and know there is an underground force waiting to explode but they dont know where it will come from or when. This led into the hijack of bokoharam from a religious group and turned it into a terrorist group. In fact Murtala Nyako had a template of what happened and the strategy deployed in that transformation. He blamed it on Jonathan instead of accusing his people in Jalingo of sabotage. This also tie in with why they clamped down on Shiaa. There is a new brouhaha in Sokoto between Sunni and Izala,led by Gumi.

So the North is slowly imploding and we can help accelerate it.

MONITZ:
And wat is the contribution of the North eastern part of the country to the federal purse if I may ask since u ve decided to juxtapose N. E. D. C with N. D. D. C, let me give u some hints; VAT collection (almost zero for north east) while only Lagos generates a minimum of about 80% of the country's VAT ,also mineral resources ( zero for the North east as well, though there might be some prospects bt no exploitation that I know of yet),while the south southern part of the country contributes a huge chunk of the country's wealth. "From whom much is taken, much is given back" is a common saying .

If we were practising true federalism, many northern states won't be able to fend for themselves and would definitely go bankrupt just like the state of Illinois is experiencing presently.

The North is always tardy and inimical to the progress of the country as a whole, they re parasites ,to put it more succinctly and this is the major reason u guys don't want genuine federalism in Nigeria,bt we definitely can't continue like this forever, we will break this yoke thrust upon us by the British at the appropriate time.

The imbalance is just too glaringly glaring, to highlight this, take a look at the old Kano and Lagos states that were created at about the same time ,two more states ve since been carved out of the old Kano thus making it ve about 70 Local government areas,if it was still a single state while Lagos still has the the same initial 20 L. G. A , minus the L. C. D. A's that Tinubu stubbornly created and which drew the ire of O. B. J and which made him seize Lagos state's allocation until Yaradua came in and cleared the backlog,now where in the world will u see this kind of injustice if not Nigeria because at the end of the day wen allocations will be given, the old Kano will differently be getting higher allocations because it has more L. G. A's than Lagos and this was wat Tinubu tried to correct by creating more L. C. D. A's before Obasanjo became a dog in the manger. U guys think u own this country and everything therein, u re making a very big mistake as the tide will surely turn someday because we can't just continue like this.

True federalism is the only way out of this logjam so that every component can develop at her pace and pay taxes to the central government just like it should be done.

To think that some of you guys above are supporting the teachers move.... Makes me wonder if there is hope in Naija.

Progressive01:
The real Igbos are busy building monuments of businesses and taking advantage of the investor friendly atmosphere brought about by the able leadership of Mohamadu Buhari while some inconsequential touts and miscreants who constitute nothing but nuisance wake up everyday to wail over one imaginary and useless country which will never be.

Sai Innoson.

kropotkin2:
Foolish IPOB yoot. After he's picked up his brethren will flood this thread blaming Buhari for his stupidity.

Kingsley10000:
is ibusa an igbo name,its suppose to be called"igbo uzo "most of these communities even the ones in northern rivers state do deny their igbo identity,i have many of them as frds,they detest being referred as igbos........even in asaba pidgin language is widely spoken there,their children don't answer or speak igbo,they are now changing the name of their streets and town from igboid name or dialect

Mimidiva:
If E-money is kid, then his kids are what?

Nnaabros:
Its terrible reading peoples comments at times. Here's a young man speaking up for the younger generation, and see how the same people are lambasting him. Nigeria has been recycling the same crop of leaders since 1960 and yet they keep telling you the youths are the leaders of tomorrow. A young man comes to and give a clarion call to these youths to rise up and take their place and the same youths rise up to lambaste him. I guess they are pretty comfortable with their place

NoreenUG:
Why are the Lagos senators complaining?
When Niger Deltans called for resource control, they branded them as "lazy" greedy people for wanting what is rightfully theirs.
Niger Delta states suffer extreme environmental degradation and abandonment and in the end, 87% of the oil wealth is taken to the capital while they're left with 13%. Now the bloody hypocrites in Lagos are crying because of 3% VAT. Isn't that stupidity?
When it comes to oil, the black monkeys scream "Our Commonwealth". Now we're talking VAT and the numbskulls are crying. Your political agitations are never about justice or fairness but greedy parochial interests.

When Jonathan kicked off the National Conference, Tinubu attacked it (to serve his own selfish political calculations) and his Lagos lackeys followed him. They never envisioned a day like this coming to pass, but it has happened. They threw out the other fair government because they believed having their "brother" as vice president would help them sit at the table with their master. Now, kasala don burst. The Lagos Special Status bill has ended up in the sewage pit where it rightfully belongs, and now even their VAT is going to be spent on abbokis in far away North East.

Hurts, doesn't it?
LMFAO!!!

myobjective:
Are you this daft? AWOLOWO was against one Nigeria, he wanted true regions system and secession clause on the Nigeria constitution before independent but your father AZIKIWE want one Nigeria and form Alliance with the north.

When bill was sponsored to have 1% of national income to develop Lagos, the igbos legislature in the house go against despite the fact that it will also be beneficial to the igbo large community on Lagos.

Nigeria need to be rule base on a strong regional government or each region should go their separate ways

NextGovernor:
When it will favour North you won't know when they debate and pass it to law but when it comes to the South it turns to National debate and won't even pass 1st reading... I am not tribalist but sometime the way this country is run is not fair. It just pain me that the yorubas were deceived and I just hope they learn the 3rd time (after Awolowo and Tinubu ).

seunmsg:
Go and read the OP again and stop making illogical comments. MTN has been transferring the money since 2006 and the previous PDP governments did nothing about it. In fact, officials of the past regimes collaborated with them to perpetrate this scam against the Nigerian people. We should commend the present government for bringing this out in its bid to rid the country of all sorts of corruption instead of calling the war on corruption a moronic war.

Going forward, MTN should be forced to enlist on the Nigerian stock exchange. By so doing, management will be more diffuse and they will have to make more public disclosure of their financial statements. Regulators and interested members of the public will also be able to monitor them more effectively on issues like capital flight.

FriendChoice:
Northeast Northwest North central does not exist in politics.

What exist are: North, West and East. You can only deceive yourself in denying it.

A person from northwest feels comfortable with a person from Northeast representing him. But reverse is in the case of South, westerner feels marginalized when an easterner is representing the south. This is painful truth that you yourself knows. You can only divide the North on Nairaland.

South does not exist in politics. What exist are: west and east. The north only require 1 of them. That is why today Igbos [east] are uncomfortable because the vice president is Westerner. Hence Marginalization.

Have you ever in your life, see Northwest discriminating Atiku (from NE) or IBB (from NC) ? and vice versa


And I can see specifically your problem is Hausa-Fulani: In that sense also, Hausa need either Igbo or Yoruba to win. But Igbo and Yoruba marriage cannot work.

Mujaheeeden:
i release you from zoneB spirit now

You’ll only need a one-year computer science diploma to get Buhari’s NCC board nomination.


No wonder Nigeria is in recession when u have a semi illiterate President appointing one year diploma holder into sensitive positions.

How did Lord Lugard scam the southerners to join them with savages is what i need to study

Clinton9000:
Boils down to their hatred for Igbos, better put envy. The truth will shock you...because they know that Buhari hates Igbo, will not nominate them and will marginalize them. Honestly anything that will destroy Igbos or subject them to pain and agony will be supported by AFONJAS. There was one that said the other day...he would rather suffer under Buhari surrounded by non Igbos than to enjoy under GEJ surrounded by Igbos.

themosthigh:
Nsukka igbos, nice, humble and excellent without but lacking the arrogance of the anambarians,the doubiousness of the imolites,the laziness of the Abians and the primitivness of the ebonyians. I loved them when I was in UNN. You will hardly see a tribalistic Nsukka person and in some places like ibagwa, the live together in peace with Hausas,nupes,Muslims, Christians and idol worshippers. I used to be afraid of their masquerade oriokpa

project8:
