@op. which tribe are you from?

Built2last:
Is it necessary? So you can engage in your usual tribal war and labelling. Am sure you want to know if am Igbo or Yoruba. Am neither both.
Grow up.

Sweetlemon:
I taya o!

@op. You are not being entirely truthful because you did not liten to Buhari's full words. He also added that he has no choice but to evenly distribute government benefits everywhere because of the constitution.

As for Igbos not caring about appointments. Really? So why do they keep crying and wailing and tearing their clothes apart whenever they see a non SE appointment?

Life atimes allows us to. have a taste of challenges before embrassing us with the best of everything.


To all our ex that left us....., you will soon regret..!!!

[s]We didn't vote for political appointments. We voted for anti-corruption, transparency, probity, quality medicare, good roads, potable water, quality education, security, etc. We don't bloody care if Dalai Lama is appointed to bring these about- all we want is to see them happening.

Why hasn't all other ethnic groups been wailing like some SEasterners?? Aren't they made up of humans as well?? How many appointments have their sons and daughters been given??

This is getting nauseating honestly[/s].

How Much Respect Do You Show Igbos?

IGBOS
I am not Igbo. I am proud of my Urhobo tribe. However, as a student of history, I wish to show just what these great people came/come against and yet thrive.

Okay, the incessant killings in the North will be glossed over so as to make this article not overly long. The civil war will also not be discussed.

However, post civil war, as I explained in my post MINORITY REPORT: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU, the rich in Nigeria have major roots in the Indigenization decree of 1972 and 1977. I reminded how the banks gave people of other tribes, predominantly Hausas and Yorubas loans to buy up companies owned by foreigners.

Now imagine. The Federal government forced Chevron to sell 51 percent of its shares and that Access Bank will give Nigerians loans to buy the shares. How rich will you be in a year? 5 Years? That is how many Yorubas and Hausas got to own UAC, Dunlop, Leventis, Cadbury and all those top companies.AP HOUSENow while these were going on, Gowon told the Nigerian banks to give TOPS twenty naira to any Igbo man that had money in the bank before the war. That means, if an Igbo person had 5 naira before the war, he or she will be given the 5 naira. But if they had a hundred naira, they could only get just twenty naira in fulfillment of the banks’ duty to give the Igbos their money.

Ask yourselves “why would the banks give Igbos only twenty naira? Did the banks collapse? So why pay them less than they were given?

So while the banks were giving loans to Hausas and Yorubas to buy up Oyibo companies which they did not build, the Igbos were being cheated out of their rightful monies.LEVENTISNow, not only did the Igbos lose houses and businesses across the land; it is safe to say that between 1970 and 1971, the richest Igbo had 20 naira that may be the equivalent of maybe one million naira.

Let us look at how Aliko Dangote made his money. He, Dangote (a great man and pride to Nigeria) has an uncle called Dantata who owned huge chunks of the groundnut pyramids of the 50’s and 60’s. He gave Dangote a loan and Dangote paid it back in record time. CLAP CLAP.

In addition, Dangote has had his “brothers” in government, from IBB to Abacha and Abdulsalaam. When they now agreed to democracy, he was by this time rich enough to have funded Obasanjo’s presidential campaign. And so government policies, be it monopoly afforded him for rice, sugar, flour and of course a large share of subsidy etc ensures he is the wealthiest Nigerian. (note many had same opportunity but did not use it. We kowtow to Dangote’s investment capabilities)

IGBOS-2Igbo traditional masquerade dance

However, for the Igbo man, where will he see an uncle that will loan him money? The richest man in their family had how much as at then?

So while Femi Fani Kayode can inherit the property of his father and grandfather and great grand father, a Chidi Cali cannot inherit anything from his grandfather who had business in Kano or even Port Harcourt. This is because neighbours have made his dad’s storey building theirs, and even someone as educated as Ken Saro Wiwa, lived in an Igbo war emigrant house as his. (a sore point of the Niger Delta and Igbo Unity).

WAEC building was Emeka Ojukwu‘s dad’s building and like that building, thousands and the land with it….lands worth billions today were taken from Igbos…destroyed homeland, stolen and destroyed wealth, taken away from the east. Each and every Igbo had tops 20 naira.

OJUKWUChief Emeka Ojukwu

Also his ‘brother’ is never president that will give him oil block or fuel lifting. Of 33, only one Igbo man and because he was in Obasanjo’s good graces.

YET LOOK HOW PROUD THEY STAND TODAY!!! Look what they have achieved for themselves….FIRST GENERATION WEALTH…top second generation. From being unable to send their first sons to school so he could help look after the shop, to producing first class brains in all departments of modern learning.

IGBOS-3Igbo elders performing adulations

So today, when you accuse the Igbos of wanting their Biafra or of Baby Factory, or liking money and ready to do anything for money…

Remember that just forty years ago, while the banks were dashing your uncles loans to buy up all the companies in Nigeria, it stole from the Igbos.

Know that appointments have not favoured them. Note that they remain persecuted and many speak such ill and hate towards a people forced by need to survive to be extra-aggressive towards their sustenance.

Maybe if you took their history into consideration, you will not be so critical of them, but instead say “what a resilient people” and give God the glory that FOR NOW, we and such a great people are compatriots.

Igbo Kwenu!

sinizia:
Stop defending the lies of APC because you are Yoruba. Yoruba or not, say the truth and stop being a tribal bigot. Why did APC lied abut the 5K a month money in the first place? If they knew they won't fulfill it, why are they lying? You are the reason why our leaders don't fulfill their electoral pledges. Nonsense!!

philips70:
[s]Am laughing hard!!! Metuh that's supposed to be looking for his own hospital bed in India is still making noise. PDP workers will soon end his criminal career. They are not done yet, they are articulating their facts in a well written petition to the EFCC. This pig mouthed man will soon be screaming for mercy[/s].i]

Do you blame the zombie OP.

This is what you get when you appoint a card carrying member of your party to head the highest security and intelligence gathering Agency.

soe:
Having followed certain trends, the following was observed, and details have been forwarded to the relevant agencies, but read this as a piece of information


Even the world's best democracies will never dare this sort of comments.

This is not freedom of speech but direct breeding of treasonous brigandage, felony and an indicator to homicide tendencies...if these people are allowed to grow up this way...I fear for the future.

I trust my colleagues in the DSS to fish these boys out and do a thorough job immediately.
See the quotes below referring to the president of the country.

1. Emeka Okeke 08033258865
2. Andrew Otene 08130583247






Aside the fact that they have broken almost all NL rules and keep creating new accounts to disguise, Press freedom is not an avenue to spread hate, incite others and display open brigandage...these boys will be scape goats

Evathyst:
See how this spokesperson carry such ceremonial appointment for head as if na one kind better thing.


Oya, if the newly elected president of Security Council get liver, make she dismantle ISIS within that her one month appointment.


What am I even saying self, is it not the same UN where Americas one security vote equals 99 votes or more? Mtcheew!

Next news abeg!

dazzlingd:
Lol. ..it is even feeling honoured to have mentions..

life's good man (she male), enjoy it...but it's pathetic u will never enjoy life with ur hatred and pains, get well soon she male

EasternLion:
Let say for a moment that you are an APC supporter, will that make you speak and boldly insult your people?

Sometimes I don't just get it, party Affiliation should not get you to deride what is dear to the heart of your people.
To most Igbo speaking Biafrans and other clans in Biafraland, Biafra and everything about it is dear to them, supporting APC shouldn't get you off the track oneness.
And tomorrow people will complain that North and Arewa always have their ways. In all the mayhem the North have been inflicting on Easterners since 1945, I have not seen any of them attack the others because of it, infact to them it is something to gloat over.

Know ye that the northerners in PDP party of GEJ helped to make him lose his way and played fast one on him e.g Sambo Dansuki. It didn't matter to them if it was someone from opposition, as long as it is something to do with interests of the north, they can go any length.

It is well.

dazzlingd:
u care, if not u won't ve replied..

so which one are you, a guy or a female thug

dazzlingd:
something tells me you are a guy.....If otherwise, den u must be a female thug probably lessbian
