This makes sense but trust me the British and European countries are barely responsible for the problems facing Africa .


There are many tribes and ethnicity across Africa, every tribe can't have their country hence the Integration of tribes into a structural country is only logical .



Besides, shall we conjecture less on whom to blame and channel focus on the reason we are still in this current position, the west have tampered the global economy making it difficult for African countries to emerge as economic strongholds, laughable enough, African leaders are not concerned about the economy whatsoever, all they care for is their pockets .


Our problem is our leaders, get sensible leaders and watch calls for disintegration reduced .

Crofton:
Forget the British, they have left us for a while and it's high time we acknowledge that our current position is as a result of our doings and undoings .


They left us and 7 years later we were fighting ourselves, did the British do that ?

bilulu:
It simply show we re on same side so why striking out everything?

TrajansKong:
1st class Honours in Theoretical and Applied Nepotism.

It is well!

bilulu:
Can you give a simple reason you did that? No offence.

Allen102:
oh boy. Nigeria don they improve ooo.

After spending about 4 months in Canada the little girl from Nigeria asked the mum, “mummy when will NEPA take the light”?
That is the extent of damage the Nigeria system has caused us, making us see the abnormal as the normal. It is the abnormal system that will make you say “as a Nigerian you can survive in any situation”.
The question is were you made to survive such situations when others have long found a positive way out of that situation? They don’t get used to the problem or situation like we do in Nigeria rather they speak up and find solutions. They don’t accept fish from politicians rather they creat their own pond were they can fish, by so doing no thug or tout decide their future.
We go to bed with the mentality that we can survive in any situation. A distance of about 45minutes will be travelled for over 2hours because of bad roads yet we will smile and beat our chest that yes we survived it. In the face of police brutality you will hear someone say “what can we do” and everyone will walk passed minding his business not thinking who would be the next.
The real enemies of Nigeria are those in power who have decided to impoverished the masses and refused to give us amenities yet they take vacation in another man’s land.
To many Nigerians (both elites and all) power outage is normal but to that child by now have spent more than a year in Canada, it’s absurd. She has to be apologized to if there’s power outage without first informing her.
We keep telling ourselves Nigeria will be great again but after that we go back to our beds with our wives and girlfriends to sleep. Is that how It’s going to be great again? We have faith that one day we shall overcome but as a nation are we truly sincere to that faith? A Police officer when confronted about bribe, he will ask you “oga Na me spoil Nigeria? Is that how it will be great? When you tell a lagosian to stop dumping refuse indiscriminately he’ll tell you “Na only me dirty Lagos?” Yet they keep shouting “eko oni ba je” when it has already ba je years ago.
We need to wake up from our comfort zone, shouting Nigeria will be great again is not enough. We the citizens have tried even in the face of negative policies but let us keep up the good work. The evil leaders will continue to prevail only when the good men refuse to speak up. Nigeria is ours and we shall reclaim it.
Your loyalty and patriotism should be to Nigeria society and not the president. You can be more patriotic than the President.

Crofton:
The populace are divided by tribalism, hence we are unable to make a serious stand .

LegendHero:
So because it was named Ezugwu it means the Igbos built it right?

If they give it an Hausa name, you will complain marginalization. If they give it an Igbo name you will say its merit.

Don't you think something is wrong with you?

SLAP44:
Exactly

Over the weekend, Nollywood actress and comedienne, Etinosa Idemudia sparked outrage online after she used the bible as her ashtray while smoking.

She even went on to describe Provers 22:6 which reads “train up a child when he is young and when he is old he will not depart from it” as a scam, and stated that "no one should blame her mother as she is still departing even though she was trained and retrained.”

She also took to social media to threaten to that she will use the Holy Quran as an ashtray.

However, her plan to ridicule the Quran has stirred reaction from the Chief Imam of Ansar-Ud-Deen, Abdulrahman Ahmad who condemned the actress’ actions, saying there are consequences for any of these actions.

The popular Islamic Scholar was quoted on Opera News as saying:

“It is a pity for us as a people and a country that we are where we are today. I don’t like to comment on issues like this because I think it is below the dignitary of religious people and those with conscience and goodwill to be commenting on issues like this. More or less, individuals are trying to acquire fame and we should not help them. Otherwise, this issue should not be discussed at all; it is bad news. It is a sad commentary. It questions our collective morality; why should we be discussing issues like this and celebrating it; popularizing a wayward individual.

Whether it is the Bible, the Quran or any other holy book; should not popularize or sensationalize it. Whether something happens to them-(the actor) or not.

“I condemn, without any reservation anyone who desecrates the Bible as much as I condemn anyone who attempts to desecrate the Quran. It isn’t something that we should be discussing. We should not even look at it from the point of view of- ‘if something is going to happen to her or not’. That someone dared to insult and violate the religious sensibility of others is condemnable. It is worse than hate speech because it could set the nation in tune reaction . It could be destabilizing. It is not part of anybody’s freedom to insult the sensibility either cultural or religion of others.

“We should not to give prominence to this waywardness. It is a collective insult on Nigerians as a deeply religious community. I condemn whoever desecrates the Bible and Quran. There are consequences for any of these actions. If the law enforcement agencies don’t act on unwarranted provocation; then they should also not act when the repercussions start to come. This is my opinion.

Cherrybae:
Chest beaters. Very useless terorists. The military should as a matter of urgency take over all the streets in the SE.

Effect of all ipobs, charge them to court, and sentence them to death by hanging.

I'm so bitter that ipobs murdered innocent policemen who were deployed to maintain peace .

I condemn it, I condemn it, I condemn it. . Hands joined to hands, the wicked terorists ipobs shall never go unpunished.

gidgiddy:
I'm just saying what makes sense and what doesnt. Didnt you see the two bodies that were burnt in back of the patrol van who the police say are their men? The only way IPOB could have killed two Police men and burnt them in the back of the van if the police men were already dead and they drove the van to road and set it on fire

But that's not what the Police said. The Police said they went to the Lawyers house to arrest him and IPOB attacked them and set the patrol van on fire and killed two police men. That story does not tally with the picture circulating

Area4Area:
Same stunts by IPOB, like Kanu like lawyer.
Show us the evidence that the police burnt the house, what about seeing the gravity of what he did, he ordered for his house to burnt and he fled, just like kanu's stunt, till date no picture or video of soldiers around his compound that day

UdechiHD:
Ndigbo have made it clear that:

IPOB don't represent the views and aspirations of our people. They were not elected by anyone in Igboland and therefore acted alone.
The official mouthpiece of the Igbo people are the Ohaneze Ndigbo, SE Governors forum, Ohaneze Youth, Aka Ikenga, IYC, IEF, Council of Obi's/Eze's, Igbo Women Leaders, Igbo Traders Union, Igbo members in the Senate and House of Representative, Nzuko Igbo, IWC representing diasporan Igbos, and other regional socio-cultural groups in Igbo areas of the SE/SS/MB.

As far as Ndigbo are concerned, IPOB are a separatist group, headed by some miscreants. The leadership of this group are domiciled overseas while the local footsoldiers are illiterates and never do wells hustling in their respective localities.

The recent killings of police men at Oraifite the hometown of Barr Ejiofor ( Kanu's Lawyer) was never the handiwork of innocent and law abiding Igbo villagers. The troublemakers know themselves and the police should not hesitate to bring them to book.

The general public, police, army and other law enforcement agencies should take note!

zibya:
We will just assassinate him too

currencyz22:
sense far from these one

gidgiddy:
Now I understand what happened. I have been wondering about the Police version of events, that they went to arrest Ifeanyi Ejiofor and IPOB attacked them with rifles machete and burnt their patrol van and killed two Police men

I wondered how the same patrol van ended up burnt in the middle of the road and why the so called 'police men' did not jump out of the back of the burning vehicle. How do you burn someone in the back of a patrol van?

IPOB's version makes far more sense. They invaded the home of IPOB Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, just like they invaded Nnamdi Kanu's home. They killed two unarmed people and put them in the back of the patrol van. The now doused the place with petrol and left. But the fire trailed them, probably due to leakage from whatever they used in carrying the petrol. The Patrol van caught fire and they all ran away leaving the two people they had murdered to burn in the back of the van

It is these two people they now claim are Police men murdered by IPOB

Now it all makes sense

Rekhina:
Tanks meccuno ...

Igbos scattered over Nigeria doing business bla bla bla ...ojukwu we all knew as a man of honour warned u fools about doing business in ur enemiess' tent but u called ojukwu a greedy man , .... listen UdechiHD if u think am an Igbo from d east u must be dreaming ,NO am not but I was so educated to m.sc level that I won't play ostrich ,drink ogogoro upandan nor collect N200 after sex like my brothers n sisters in nigerdelta !

Am so educated to know dat ipob are doing the God's work in a country Jesus Christ left , come to Dubai Nigerians are laffed at with scorn tank God am Rekhinatou from dar habi Sudan.


The shame is so much and u sit right there in katsina or Boko Haram state to fear ur ass out aragbapukwa isi ebe ahu

UdechiHD:
Lol! This one you're attacking me Rekhina. You even called me Meleszenawi.
How I wish you know how I despise that personae you just referred me to. Meles and his other monickers such as Osagyefo, Nnewisuper etc are non-Igbos who tries to create imaginary division among my people. An agenda I have overtime challenged, fought against since I joined nairaland and won't stop doing.

I don't understand why any Igbo with divergent views towards IPOB is seen as an enemy or saboteur.
Is it because I warned IPOB members not to involve Ndigbo in their macabre dance? Right from when IPOB gained prominence in 2014, till now I have always spoken against their approach as well as their leadership style. I don't mince words. Despite my criticisms I don't in total dismiss other issues that affect us. IPOB for me arouse as a result of years of neglect, injustice and marginalization against our people. Every Igbo be it young or old, have in one way other suffered from this. We wear the shoes and we know how it pinches. So I can never throw away the baby with the bath water. Hope you understand!

However, because we are a peace loving ethnic group, scatered in all parts of this country, we are at at much disadvantage to tow the violent stance championed by many zionist in IPOB. This is where I'm against Nnamdi Kanu and his boys. We are dispersed with people and investments everywhere and none of them understands the loses that we will incur in an event if a major conflict.
We also fought a civil war in the past and most people still use that to judge us despite our commitment to nation building and coming again to seek for secession a second time will not be favourable to us.
I as well as many folks have warned IPOB to calm their hate speeches, to dynamics of the people you say you're fighting for and use diplomacy to get what you want. IPOB don't understand Ndigbo, they don't understand were we are coming from and where we want to head to. The leadership are just some intellectually low people who are lack charisma. You don't expect such people to lead a nation of intelligent people, else they push us to the cliff with their ideologies.
I don't care how long it takes, but to jaw-jaw is better than to war-war. Before IPOB arouse we had a sovereign National Conference where elected Igbo representative joined other ethnicities to table our demands for a better Nigeria.
The Igbo people are not the only ones feeling the stagnancy of this country? Everyone ethnic group does. As a matte of fact the major division in Nigeria is a problem of the rich/poor class on one hand and tribalism/religion on another hand. This is why rather than seek for secession, we should channel our voices into agitating for restructuring or any name you want to call it.

Prompto:
Hope you are not a lunatic ?!

All those Igbo that come on NL to insult Yorubas how many time did you quote them, letting them know they are the cause of whatever. So foolish Igbo can make bigot n hateful remark but when others so the same you start accusing them.

It is God that will punish that you mouth if you have never quoted Igbos making similar remark as you have complained about.

Omoodua007:
It’s usual for you to attack the messenger and not the message
How is Wole Soyinka been treated by the igbos today ?
The very same people he helped

Till today all of you are busy looking for Yoruba downfall
Praying for Tinubu to collapse
You have a wicked heart and you deserve all the calamities that hit your region
The very same wicked heart zik had towards Yorubas he failed to develop his own

Nuzo1:
In a dream sometime ago, i saw the assassination of Nnamdi kanu. What followed thereafter could not be contained.

God will give Tunde Bakare wisdom on what to do for Nigeria by then.

I encourage every Nigerian to thread with caution.

Omoodua007:
After all this your defence of Igbo people which is true they will still turn around an insult your people.

Do you see the way the mock Wole Soyinka today who helped during the war calling him all sorts of name
They even mock Yorubas when we go through our stuffs and call us cowards

So let them face their own issue
They claim not to be cowards they should show strength

When kanu was planting seed of hatred into then the elders kept quiet

Now yawa don Dey gas
iPod is the new Boko Haram

The same iPod are praying for fall of Yoruba people
Threatening to blow up Yoruba churches
