hensben: Sorry to say ds igbo people dey do business but na illegal money n blood money many pass....so they can't declare their asset/worth.

if tribalism hasn't covered your brain network,you would know that there are igbo people who are well off in the business world.....how many billionaires do we have in nigeria who doesn't have a hand in oil business......goat

Never had a single respect for dangote.....too much govt influence...besides,what are the lessons learnt from his activities as a business man......at least,we have coscharis,adenuga to mention a few you literally sold water to a well......but dangote,the only thing I learnt is that once you come from a hausa fulani stock,everything is okay....

papparatzzi2013: Funny you.

Afenifere and SW have always been at the forefront of vanguard for SNC, with the aim of returning the country back to regionalization that your clan scuttled by declaring unitary system of governance.

So save your advise for your malleable amd easy-to-buy leaders.

We don't seat on the fence. We take calculated and informed risk. Not backing your war does not mean we sat on the fence. We only took our independent decision, which we are entitled to. Have we ever held you responsible for not backing June 12 actualisation struggle. No!!!! So spare us the outdated rhetorics of we sat on the fence because of the war u brought on yourself.

your clan actually sat on the fence during the war until lagos was attacked........secondly,your leaders where not easy to buy and they sold abiola for a pot of porridge.........thirdly....i think you should stick to the topic an stop exhibiting exactly what the northern guy is exhibiting to the world....

papparatzzi2013: ACF is taunting them now, they can't talk. If it was Afenifere now, all of them would have died on this tread with one comment or the other ; telling us how Ibo man must represent Lagos.

You better reply your northern masters now, before they will short change you again!!!!

Provided you don't mortgage your future again by selling yourself cheap to them.

you have a brain....please use it....

idupaul: I still yet to come to terms how they used their relic fighters to drop munition on ground targets accurately ... This ops would have been better for attack copters supported by light armor personnel carriers

lol....they are relics alright......

I pray they settle this issue once and for all.....the money I believe would be paid over. A period of years....its not too much too ask....the more we delay,the more the rot increases...and The more money that would be spent....our leaders. Are not serious....70% of our Budget spent on salaries....am sure they are just scared of not getting their salaries in The NASS........pray that the money doesn't get to 10 trillion. In 2015.....

No. Wonder boko. Haram came. For charms in oyo state......well....its part. Of. Their culture.......

when i heard what the president said about the ongoing ASUU strike,i was disappointed to say the least...these guys are not ready to do anything for us....its just all about them....i don tire for this country....

Ymodulus: @Wesley



You see till today i still believe Nnamdi Azikwe was aware as to the fact that the Army would take over. This is still one of my hatred for azikwe. He was never a hero, has never been and wud neva eva be.

However to your question Lt. Victor was betrayed by IRONSI. Thats my take.

And yes Victor was an Unsunged Hero.


Please you might need to read the book called "WHY WE STRUCK ".

yeah.....nnamdi is a traitor,ironsi is a betrayer......all igbos are vampires......and corrupt...they are the ones that embezzelled the funds of the country and looted the treasury....yes oh! Its the igbos.....if a problem persist its the igbos...they are worthless and not fit to live.....at least let me help you add more if it would make you feel happy......I am just wondering what the SW and North where doing when azikiwe the british agent was trying to unite Nigeria for their selfish gains.....just one man.......men...this tribalism stuff is worst than I thought......I wonder what you would teach your kids.....so disgusting.....

ilugunboy: SS/SE/MB alliance is nothing but fraud perpetuated on NL and the internet.

how come you seem to know everthing about the SS SE and Middle belt? Are you a fraud your self? I have been reading your comments,and I understand the way your likes reason and think.....irrational....

spyx64: SOME eminent Igbo leaders yesterday faulted revelations by Lt. General Jeremiah Useni, former Minister of Federal Capital Territory, on how northern military officers killed the late General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria’s first military head of state. He was killed in the July 1966 counter-coup.
Useni, in an interview published in The Nation yesterday, claimed that he was one of the soldiers who fired shots during the coup in which Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed. In the interview, he spoke of how the plot to topple the military government was hatched and executed by mainly northern military officers seeking revenge against the Igbo.
The 1966 coup which toppled the civilian government in which the Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafwa Balewa, Premier of the Northern Region and Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Premier of the Western Region, Chief Ladoke Akintola and several northern military leaders were killed, was perceived as a coup against the north.
Colonel Joe Achuzia, former Biafran army commander, dismissed Useni’s accounts as unreliable. According to him, the former minister was not relevant in the scheme of things during the Aguiyi-Ironsi era.
He said, “I don’t react to such nonsense as the one you said came from Jerry Useni. It is not in my character to make statements on documents or statements I have not seen or read as the case may be.
“However, people like Useni are not in any position to give any reliable account. He was a junior officer who was not in reckoning in the army until the mass recruitment done in preparation for the Nigerian civil war. His account can never be anything reliable. It cannot be correct. At most, it will be very, very wrong,” Achuzia said.
In his own reaction, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), accused Useni of intentionally fanning the embers of discord ahead of the 2015 presidential election in the country.
“I like what Jerry Useni has said. It is a good revelation that reinforces the fact that Nigeria was built on distrust right from the word go. The whole polity called Nigeria was conceived and delivered on distrust between the north and the south. We know this all the while but Useni’s confession merely confirms our fears over how our brother was murdered.”
According to him, northerners saw themselves as brothers united against the south. It was not about religion but a north versus south divide. “They conspired and murdered Aguiyi-Ironsi simply because he was an Igbo man who rose to become the Head of State. That is why MASSOB is saying there is no basis for us to remain in the entrapment called Nigeria. With this kind of revelation, what is the basis for our remaining in the country called Nigeria? We want to be allowed to go our separate way because Nigeria is built on distrust.”
He accused Useni of fanning the embers of war at all cost. “They want the country to erupt in chaos ahead of 2015. He is reminding us of how they murdered our brother in cold blood based on distrust. He expects us to be happy reading all he said. Boko Haram is killing our brothers even now, based on the same distrust. Yet they want a united Nigeria.”
For Dr. Chinweoke Mbadinuju, former Governor of Anambra State, Useni should be cautioned against waking up the past that is not very pleasant. Doing this, he warned could re-open old wounds that are better left to heal.
“I don’t know what he wants to achieve by all he said. The statements were very unfortunate and unnecessary. We need peace in this country. No need to wake up the past that is not very glorious.
“I would have said more, but the truth of the matter is that it is not good to ascribe too much to inglorious past especially now that Nigeria is at the stage it is now politically. It is bad now that seven northern governors are looking for trouble in the PDP.”
And according to the submission of Nduka Eya, former Secretary-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, the consciences of people like Useni, who had hands in the killings of prominent Igbo sons and daughters during the dark days of Nigeria’s history, must be haunting them.
“Even though I am yet to read the said interview, I can say maybe his conscience is haunting him,” Eya said.
Mazi Okwu Okwu, Secretary of the Board of Trustee (BoT) of the Ohaneze Youth Council, said Useni should be ashamed of his involvement in the killing of Aguiyi-Ironsi and other gallant officers of the Nigerian Army.
“If Useni is importing heroism into his action, then it means he lacks any element of human feeling. At a time when his co-travellers are writing books and granting interviews to express their regrets over this same incident, Useni is busy celebrating his callous nature.
“To me, here is a man who is on his own in his failure to realise that the misdeeds of the past account for many of the troubles we face today as a nation. He is a fish out of water. He should be pitied,” Okwu said.

when I read post like this,I try and restrain my self not to use words that are not appropriate....okay the igbos and a yotuba oFficer planned a coup in 1966......the igbos killed some northern soldiers during the biafra war. But how many do you see coming on national dailies to tell us that they did it? Meaning that since there was a 1966 coup,then the igbos should suffer in perpetuity?? It only reveals one thing...that you especially and majority of Nigerians and blacks in general are still savages.....when german chancellor went to one of the european states that felt the brunt of german war machines thru hitler,they appologised for the atrocities that hitler and the old germany comitted.....having the impression that the igbos deserved what they got shows how brute and savagery that you have stooped.....meaning it serves the jews right that 6 million of them where killed....?? Just because of a foolish excuse that they killed jesus.....most times I wonder what quality of exposure and education we get these days.....and mind you....it was the WESTERN REGION that the whole wahala started from.....with awolowo and akintola ish.....so don't thing you guys are excluded....

mister josh: Guy easy, it won't b nice if two angry pple r arguing, too much harsh nd regrettable words will b flowing. Nd all these attacking of each others' tribes isn't d best, we all av d gud, bad nd ugly amongst ourselves. God bless Naija

you see the problem is that most of these people like looking for trouble....I come here most times to get current info and all I see is tribal rants....the reason why these threads are put up is not to tell us that at least retail shops are coming to their area,but to tell their eastern brothers that they are better than them....I see that as stupidity of the highest order.....imagine....when you check the first 10 comments, you would know what am saying.....if a development comes to the east,its bad.....but if a lower development comes to the south west then that means that the new jerusalem is in the south west. Even if the hype or lagos is actually rubbing of on the rest of the south western states.....the other south west states are overrated...

4chi: Entire iboland is absolute s*hit hole. putrid offensive smell oozing all over the place.served there and relocated ASAP . I don't blame them flat heads for running away from their cesspit. Would do the same if I were one.tufia! You can't find a more rotten place than onitsha and aba in the entire universe.

lol...what about your amala head?

missystephen: Please, is shoprite in Portharcourt? If yes lemme know where it is located. I am new resident here, I barely know my bearing. Help help.Thank you in advance.

Mafia Man: But am tempted to ask why all the police caught so far are mostly ibos? December things??
