The hated filled Jews will claim this choice isn’t based on integrity since she isn’t from potoland.

Shame on you! You have refused to have sense at your age.

I wonder if diplomacy would work in this xenophobism. South Africans have this in-depth hatred for Nigerians, and almost every other persons apart from themselves and Whites.

I see them as people who have not completely evolved; maybe their evolution stopped short somewhere before completion.

Nigerians should simply avoid that country like a plague and the government should as a matter of fact,cut all diplomatic ties with that country.

Then of course, all their businesses in Nigeria should end.

The real causes of underdevelopment in the Niger-Delta is not that much different from the problem of underdevelopment of Nigeria- POOR LEADERSHIP.

1) I am a staunch advocate of resource control.
However, great resources will not necessarily translate to great development.

2) The Niger-Delta States' revenues which case other States don't have include
a) 13% derivatives
b) NDDC
c) Ministry of the Niger-Delta Affairs
d) Presidential amnesty payments
e) Corporate social responsibilities of the International Oil Companies.

3) The resources already available in every State is not optimally exploited and judiciously utilized.
The people of Niger-Delta like the people of (Oyo, Osun , Anambra or Kwara) should hold their leaders accountable first before pointing accussing fingers at others as the cause of their underdevelopment.

Sir this are my reasons
1. The bulk of the nations wealth comes from the south south. They even other resources apart from crude oil which is number 1

2. Their leaders, the governors. The people needs to demand more because they deserve it and due to oil exploration they are suffering

I mean i see no reason why Anambra, oyo etc should be more developed than bayelsa and other south south state

Ogoni cleanup how many years now yet nothing. The people don't want to talk. To me niger delta own suffering is somehow worst than the north because they are so blessed. The wealth of niger delta is more than enough to over enrich them
Infact their capital states is mediocre if you ask me


Honestly if i were from an oil producing community i will do everything within my power to make sure the government provide basic amenities if they don't then i will mobilise fellow youths and force the government to do it.
But niger delta millitants were given peanuts and they all drop the struggle thinking they are wise whereas . Outsiders are raking in millions and billions of dollars from your community while you and your people are suffering.

Because i know if it were to be Igbos, yorubas or especially Hausa/Fulani they won't easily tolerate this. Atleast they will get something tangible out of it

Niger delta money is been used to develop the rest of naija especially Abuja Lagos and kano while the people of niger delta suffer

Well that's not my business though. I am only saying all this because there's a certain place i saw in delta and i couldn't believe my eyes. It was horrible

Oga,clearly, either you've not traveled round or you're just being deliberately myopic.

What the South south part of the country is facing is not different from what other parts of the country are facing.

You mentioned Anambra state, right?
Don't you know that Anambra state has oil in commercial quantity, how are they fairing in terms of development from oil revenue?
So many other States in the country have one form or the other of resources yet,same story.

Don't just single out any region. The problem is systemic.

LegendHero:
What is the problem of you Igbos with Tinubu?

Let me summarize the Newspaper for the readers:

Tinubu called for a common sense revolution!

He also went further to say the common sense revolution is a call to return to decency, probity, transparency of process and fairness in outcome.

He also went further to say Nigeria should be ready for change, we must rescue it from those set to cause it irreparable harm.

Although the newspaper you uploaded might be blur but mere thorough reading will show you what he meant by common sense revolution which is totally different from a bloody revolution.

Nigeria situation is political, which explains the fact why Igbos do not join in the protest during the Jonathan government because they are benefiting from it even with the fact that hundreds are dying daily due to Boko haram then during Jonathan era.

This same analogy explains why the likes of Tinubu will never join in the protest of Buhari government because it is their government and they are part of it.

It’s common sense you Igbos need to understand that the political class are united in making sure this country remain impoverished either PDP or APC.

People with functioning eyes should check the clear image of the newspaper uploaded by the OP.

You messed up in your whole write-up by singling out Igbo's in your diatribe.

Did Igbo's call for the revolution?
or is Sowore an Igbo man?

You couldn't hide your hatred for Igbo's,could you?
You're one of the major problems of Nigeria.

I have observed that most Nigerians - not minding age or literacy level- are ruled by sentiments rather than common sense.

How can some one wake up and call for revolution; that an elected government should be over thrown,and yet people still support him?
It's just crazy.
What would have happened if Sowore had succeeded and the entire nation degenerated into chaos,with criminals taking advantage of the situation to unleash mayhem to innocent citizens, killings and looting everywhere?

Then again you'd be probably happy and blame the government yet again.

gregyboy:
U don't have argument on bitter leaf soap
The benin traditional food has turn to a general soup in nigeria the benin beads have turn to a general fashion in Nigeria no one care to even try to know or respect thier origin

Bro,you're very far from history ( no disrespect meant).
You just swallow anything the popular media hands down to you,hook,line and sinker.
What happened to the black soup and starch that is Benin's traditional soup?

How many indigenes of Edo state even know what is bitter leaf soup?

You guys are just too funny. lol.

That's why he lost the election.

alright

WiLdFLame:
Only jobless and unpatriotic support this shits. If you ipobs wants revolution. Good and fine . Take it to southeast. Let the second Biafra war start and the little development there be destroyed. It's for the better of Southwest. Shebi una talk say una wan no wise ba. I don't know why the igbos hates Buhari much.

Sense is very very far from you.
You're as dumb as they come.
How did you suddenly mischievously turn this thread and the planned revolution into an "Igbo" thing?
Did they place any curse on you that you must bring in Igbo's in everything?
If it is a curse,may it continually dwell with you.

Modphase:
But Igbos already said they won’t join in the uprising since it’s not being led by an Igbo.

Have you started again with your useless devilish character of always trying to rope in the Igbos in whatever rubbish that is happening?

Why mention the Igbos?
Are a coward that you can't do anything until you
call on Igbos?
You live in constant morbid fear of the northerners yet you can't do anything about it until the you involve the Igbos.
Stinking coward.

Why anyone would sign up to be a soldier in today's Nigeria is simply beyond me.
Talk about obsolete ammunition, corruption in the force, sabotage, inadequate remuneration etc. It's just crazy.
I feel for those guys and they deserve our prayers.

I am not just comfortable with this man,Ihedioha.
I'm thinking that once again Imo people have made a huge mistake with this man just like Abians did with T.A. Orji.
Let me ask: is his legacy only going to be destroying of Okorocha's structures?
Four or eight years term is too short for a governor who has something tangible to offer.

alright

drkay:
Well, I don’t use the said bridge but if what was put up there is how far they could go in 4 years and you don’t see that as a slow progress then, I can say that you deserve the kind of leadership you are getting.
PS: You don’t need to quote me on this again.

If you doubt the Fg is really working on that bridge, all you have to do is to take a trip to the site with a camera and open mind.
You can't just sit at a place and criticize every single thing Buhari does.
learn to give credits when necessary; otherwise you're no different from what you detest.

omooba969:
What's the proof please?

So you think if there was they would come out publicly to tell you? Guy,stop all these rubbish. It's no longer funny.

RUGA is the exact recipe for disaster and possible implosion of this country. There's no way RUGA can exist with peace in the Southeast no matter the underground politics,intimidation or coercion from the sponsors.
I give the Fg 0/100 on this.

erunzy:
Im writing a project on akwete production please can anyone help me with information on the tools used in production

Hello,what's your location?
I ask because the best way to get all the necessary information you need on the topic is to travel down to Akwete in Ukwa east LGA of Abia State.
Akwete cloth production system is an ancient technique that used to be a very closely guarded secret for only the initiated ones,and having over 100 different patterns. Nowadays, I think mostly the elderly women are the ones still making those clothes.
kindly share with us your findings.

igbodefender:
I respect your submission but do not agree with several aspects of it. I shall respond to it in another post later.

God bless your effort too, Omoluabi.

Bro,I like what you're doing.
Most Nigerians hate research; in fact, they hate anything that will rattle their preconceived notion on anything.
When you have two ethnic groups amongst other ethnic groups in nigeria who have innumerable similarities in various aspects of life and most Nigerians don't ask why,you then start wondering the kind of education they get.
No doubt the Igbos and Yorubas have had strong affiliation in the past. It just remains to be unearthed factually; and you're doing your bit in that regard. kudos.

OP,your post is nothing but cowardice in its highest form. You didn't even have the balls to mention Igbos in your title,yet you attacked Igbos throughout your post not minding the very fact that others - Hausas,Fulani's,Ijaws,etc- see you as cowards. You're indeed a coward .

https://kpcpress./2015/02/08/ibeji-twin-birth-and-the-culture-of-the-yoruba/

Olawalesmarter,you need to do independent research and stop regurgitating falsehoods.
Almost every African tribe had the history of killing twins. It wasn't just peculiar with the southeastern part of Nigeria.
Just do a simple research and find out the truth.

Olawalesmarter:
You are just ignorant, you still don't know your History very well not all Yoruba sub tribes descended from Oduduwa some of them are part of the first settler in Ile ife

You're the ignorant one here.
Those other 'Yoruba sub-tribe',where did they come from? I guess you don't know.
Where did Oduduwa come from? You don't know.
How come Igbo's and Yoruba's have strong similarities? You don't know.
The only thing you know is that Oduduwa came from heaven, met unknown people and founded the Yoruba kingdom. smh.

Westsida:
You dey mind them. Those wey sabi history sabi say nah nonsense some of this obas dey yarn.

For rulers of such esteem to say something like that,it shouldn't just be dismissed by a mere wave of hand if you have interest in learning.
There are several similarities between the two groups that can't just be wished away.
By the way,have you ever tried to research more on what these Obas said before spewing rehearsed lines?

jrusky:
You are idiot Nnwanne so you are not longer from Uganda? Oh you are no longer Jew

You have no shame at all that only igbo tribe in nìgeria can't proof their origin and you are here typing thrash thinking its funny. You have no shame.

someone is here telling you possible facts and you're throwing insults everywhere.
Where did Oduduwa come from? So many Yoruba elites have alluded to connection between the Igbo's and Yoruba's and with admissible evidence.
It's not by doing gara gara,fact is fact.

WORDWORLD:
THE SIMPLE FACT IS THIS. THE KIND OF HOSPITALITY THE IGBOS ENJOY ALL OVER NIGERIA. SUCH HOSPITALITY IS NOT RECIPROCATED IN IGBO LANDS TO OTHER TRIBES LIVING IN IGBO LAND, THE MOST IRONY IS THIS, NOT EVEN TO FELLOW IGBOS IN THEIR OWN HOMES ARE HOSPITABLE TO EACH OTHER WHICH IS A MAJOR REASON THE IGBO MAN IS SCATTERD EVERY WHERE ABANDONING HIS OWN HOME BECAUSE IT IS NOT HOSPITABLE EVEN TO HIMSELF.

IS IT NOT AMAZING HOW THE HAUSAS IN LAGOS TRAVEL BACK HOME DURING ELECTIONS TO VOTE FOR THEIR OWN WHILE THE IGBOS STAY PUT TO MAKE TROUBLE?!

AND ALTOGETHER, WHAT A GREATER IRONY HOW IGBOS HAVE RECIEVED SO MUCH HOSPITALITY IN LAGOS THAT THE ARE EVEN CHAIRMEN OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. BUT THIS CAN ALMOST NEVER BE THE CASE IN IGBO LAND. A LAND WHICH NOTHING REIGNS EXCEPT ENIMITY AND DISUNITY AMIDST KITHS AND KINS.

Your post is riddled with so much falsehood and ignorance that reading it alone churns one's tommy. Why do you lie so effortlessly against a people you know almost nothing about?
Why does your heart brim with so much hatred for them?
I can only assure you that no matter your evil lies against them,an average Igboman would always be far better than you in all aspects of life.

GreenArrow2:
And so what? Anyway, I hope to see mass jubilations from more Igbos and their co-travelers as news such as this come up in the course of the president's next 4 years. It's understandable given the antecedents of you lot.

As you celebrate over this, we sincerely hope that you also get to celebrate such in your household in no distant time. Enjoy.

Guy just leave Igbos out of whatever rubbish you're talking. The killings happened in Zamfara and you're here typing rubbish about Igbos.
Be warned.

propsvila:
Tinubu will be dislodged from Lagos Treasury
It is no longer business as usual

The Governorship Election will shock them


The thugs have seen the rage in peoples eyes

We will tell them that the so called foreigners owe Lagos

What are they really afraid of at Okota and Festac

Igbos will shock them

Hate that man called Tinubu so much, how can one man hold a whole mega City by its scrotum

Guy,leave Igbos out of whatever personal plans you have for Lagos and Tinubu.
Igbos shall vote normally like every other person in Lagos. Don't make this an Igbo thing.

alright

focus7:
Small time now they be claiming to develop China or that the Igbos have the biggest investment in China or the that they owns the biggest houses in China. Always like claiming credit for what is good.

You're still a learner when it comes to hating the Igbos. Others have done far worse than and yet,the Igbo's are still rocking,taking major strides across the globe.
Just humble yourself and get at the back of the long queue of people who want learn from the indomitable Igbos.

Kingsley10000:
Before now i use to be a staunch supporter of Buhari but after following atiku's manifesto,i now see him as a better option,Although not the best aspiration,i think he will do better than Buhari .

i think we the citizens can change the narrative on the political space by using our votes to send a strong message and tell those polithiefcians who is the boss.
Just like i said before,ATIKU isn't the best candidate,but he is better qualified and strong physically when compared to Buhari

I will ONLY vote for ATIKU so that politicians will know we can and will always change them if they fail to fulfil their campaign promises.

i implore you all to vote ATIKU for

economical revitalisation

restructuring

respect for rule of law

true patriotism

meanwhile,thieves like saraki,okowa,that benue and crossRiver fool=OTOGE

Bro it's not just only to switch from Buhari to Atiku,just like that,you should remember that now you have a responsibility; a burden. All the ignorant people that may be be APC's supporters, you owe it on your conscience to get them to turn a new leaf by supporting Atiku.

Wafritalkblogg:
I just feel like crying right now, I voted this man in 2015 because Everyone said he's okay for Nigeria, Even Atiku supported him. I won't vote Atiku because I see clearly he's a gamer, How can you sell a bad market to me and still comes out to oppose it again, thou we're on a political thread but I wont say because I support a particular candidate I won't say the right thing, The ways Buhari does this days shows he's really tired but I keep on saying that PDP bigwigs re the problem we have in this country, How can Obasanjo Atiku and Saraki sell Buhari to us and let us spend the money we can use on other meaningful project on his health and still come out to contest against him, Re you telling me Obasanjo is not close to Buhari than I do, I know now that Obasanjo and co has failed us because they told Nigerians Buhari is good and they re now backing out, They re indirectly saying Nigerians re fools, With this shit PDP elders does ,Both PDP and APC can't have my thumb, They re parties Of confusion, I will revenge and vote a new face. Weather vote for any other candidate will favour Buhari Is non of my business, In short there's is a ready made curse for any one that tell me to vote for Someone who scammed me in 2015, Atiku and Saraki won't go Scott free for scamming millions of Nigerians is all I know.

O boy, all these lamentations don late now. you were warned in 2015 against Buhari but out of sheer crass ignorance, hatred for GEJ and tribal bigotry, you wouldn't listen. Now you're pretending as if the one vote you have means anything.

FlyoruB:
'Very innocent question' my black a$$. I knew all along that you are a typical flatron that's up to your usual mischief. Your impression or warped opinion about Kwara is inconsequential as you are a nonentity anyway.

There you go again with the insults whenever someone tells you the truth.
Don't you think the insults are misdirected and they make you sound childish?
I mean,I was only repeating what several other people have affirmed.
If your hot-head allowed you,you'd have noticed that and explained out your position better.
