Politics › Re: Biafra Agitation: Arewa Youths Write ACF, NEF by MrEverest(m): 1:44pm On Nov 17, 2015
Tkester:
My bro, I've been following your posts on this biafran issue, honestly, just like you I'm agitated. I'm one biafran who pray and wish Biafra will come, because I know the implication it will have not just on Biafrans alone but on the whole sub Saharan continent. But I must tell you I'm utterly disappointed with IPOB. Our director was kidnapped by the zoo police and all we could do is to stage protests. Bro, this is a huge joke!

Let me be clear, Nnamdi Kanu comes to me as a very intelligent fellow, and I think it will be pure foolish for him not to know that he is guilty of sedition and in a lawless country like Nigeria proving his case as seditious is a very easy thing to do. First, I expect he should know that, but I'm disappointed he seems not to know it.

Second, there can be no freedom fighting without an arms struggle. If all IPOB can do is to stage peaceful protest, bro I'm afraid we may not even have biafran in the next 200years. If we want the world to listen to us and act, I tell you we must engage in arms struggle, benign as that may sound, but that is just the plain truth. And I think this is the best time to begin the struggle.

Third, if Biafrans should just develop a contingent army of 12000 soldiers and they start hitting oil installations and govt assets in Nigeria, believe me we will have Biafra faster than you can say yes sir. I've followed many IPOB talks, in fact it's beginning to look childish, Internet rants won't do anything, absolutely nothing. We need to start acting. The population or mass of people I saw in onithsa and port harcourt protest look quite encouraging though, we can seize upon that opportunity and engage these people into arms struggle and just sit back and watch how the negotiations for Biafra will be moved into a higher gear.

Let me tell you one final thing, many nations of the world want Nigeria divided, even Ghana wants to see a divided Nigeria, we can capitalize on this opportunity and have the needed fulcrum which will spring board the realization of Biafra. The fact that Britain wants a united Nigeria is pure useless in this case because we are fighting for a just and good mandate.

Biafra must be restored!
100000000000000000000000000000 LIKES. The way the ofe nmanus are quoting you without anything reasonable to say aside ode means you did hit a nerve!!! In Biafra we trust. Nigeria is already a cursed and failed country, we will not perish with them. We must have a viable nation during our life time cool cool
Politics › Re: How Nigerians Are Coping With Fuel Scarcity (Photos) by MrEverest(m): 1:16pm On Nov 17, 2015
Nigeria is beyond redemption. This hell-hole of a zoo is accursed, now tell, pray, which other country, I'm not saying only oil producing but which other country on this earth do you have such kind of suffering?? No light. No Fuel. No money. Nothing is moving. Everybody is suffering and the programmed robots called APC fans still have the audacity to castigate those that are complaining even when they are dying of starvation and frustration. How can some people be this stvpidhuh Please the EU, USA, Canada et al should open their borders and accept Nigerian refugees, their condition is not better than that of Syrians. No wonder Nigerians are dying in the sahara desert and Mediterranean sea in droves trying to get to Europe. What a godforsaken country I am forced to leave in. I regret not traveling out when I had the opportunity on a platter of gold, now I have invested a lot on ground its no longer easy leaving all behind. Buhari will no know peace, this despicable man said that Nigerian should not expect much from him because he is old and there is a limit to what he can do yet this baboon knowing that ab initio still contested the election shocked shocked In other sane climes, that statement would have brought about impeachment or resignation but then are we sane huh huh Look at the suffering people are passing through everyday yet these people, their children and cronies enjoy life to the hilt!!! WE MUST HAVE BIAFRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Zoo is quaking badly. Propaganda everywhere.

Me I was in Nairobi and also heard them talking about Biafra. The tall one told the short one "Biafra tataki takata oronwi me" - "gods forbid that we join Biafra". The second one said : "bakka ibokaa Biafria nonii ninnaa" meaning "Biafra is not for us Kenyans". I turned and asked them "but who asked your opinion"?
LWKMD, bro you nailed it. The kind of propaganda flying around & mainly being propagated by the yorubas since the successful Biafra seccessionist protests hit many parts of SE/SS shows how scared these parasitic leeches are. Most Ibibios & Efiks I know are fanatical about Biafra as an average Igboman!

The Lagos-based Okada rider i just quoted, and his ilk, should act like real men and simply stay back in the SE, land of milk & honey, this December coz we Yorubas that own Lagos do not appreciate enemies within. You can't be agitating for Biafra while earning your bread and butter on our land. Meanwhile, we Yorubas the world-over wish all Biafrans like him all the best in their new country. Thanx.
The problem I have with some of you is that many of your people are not informed. I have lived in Lagos & Abuja & have visited other parts of the north & west. Majority of Igbos you see in those places work as businessmen, traders, bankers, civil service & artisans. Only a few work as labourers. People travel to areas they feel they comparative advantage & mind you there are still many Yorubas in the East doing mechanic, trado medicine, tailors, selling agbo, etc & Biafra wont change that.

The little progress your zoo of a country made was when the Igbos were in control in the 50's & 60's. Your zoo of a country has remained a laughing stock in the commity of nations & we do not want to be associated with such a backward & barbaric country.

You single handedly led the biggest & most catastrophic ambush at Abagana sector that wiped out a whole battalion of better equipped soldiers!!!

Sorry you don't seem to understand how Govt is run, check the statistics again and check the monthly salaries of Osun state alone it's more than 5 South east states differently. Check again no South East States pay salaries up to Osun state so go check again.
This is pure & undiluted fallacy! I doubt if any state in the SW has more number of teachers than Imo or Anambra state. It is all about prudent management. Abia has a bigger budget & less civil servants than Anambra or Enugu states yet they owe workers while the latter don't.

Yes how will you be able to sustain your Biafra, Your people are all over the states of South West leaving your states almost empty... A research resently states that Igbos in the North are about 20million meaning in South West will be more than 50million.. Your people keep trooping to South West no wonder Fashola is trying to send them back... I think we need to start doing that..
20 million Igbos in the north & 50 million Igbos in the SW yet there are still many million left that generates more IGR than your states bar Lagos that is a no man's land.

Hey I'm sorry to say this but you sounding like a frustrated soul. Yes I do understand your pain on discovering that your lies & propaganda of a prosperous SW has been busted irredeemably & honestly, it sucks to be behind NW in terms of sustainabillity but you dont have to take it out on the guy rather you should blame Tifnubu & your governors for the sorry state they have kept your region.
Politics › Owerri Under Lockdown By Biafra Seccessionists!!! by MrEverest(op): 9:05am On Nov 13, 2015
What started yesterday as a protest by IPOB people numbering in their hundreds & what was thought by many to be a flop when compared to similar ralies like that of Onitsha, P.harcourt, Aba etc has culminated into something else, a mammot crowd, something like a one million man match has besieged Owerri as early as 8am this morning. They trouped past Douglas road & temporarily camped at Ama-awusa with a heavy detachment of army & policemen following behind & at the same time blocking some access roads. As at the time of writhing, all markets including Eke onuwa, new market, Rotibi as well as banks, shops & business premises remain under lock & key. There is a heavy traffic gridlock & people were discussing in groups with their topic centering mainly on their demand for Biafra, release of Nnamdi kanu & condemnation of the governor who they were calling different names like A.boki & Okoroawusa. I pray there wont be loss of life.

I always cry whenever I think of what would have been if Biafra was allowed to stand in 1967. A country that is blessed with human & natural resources. They built rockets, refined petroleum, built APC's, converted passenger planes to fighter jets, built remote controlled bombs called Ogbunigwe & many others when some yorubas were still walking about naked!! Biafra would have been a developed country today. In the 50's & early 60's when they were in control of the Nigerian economy, we were at par with the Asian tigers but immediately the gambaris took over everything went over-board. We asked for resource control they said no. We asked for true federalism they say no but now we must have Biafra wether they want it or not! To hell with enemies of progress.

If not for Lagos that was developed with oil money from ND & the establishment of federal agencies there, the Southwest would have been a dead region! Pls give it up to the Igbos, a devastating civil war was fought in their region & for 3 years bombs, artillery gunfire & bullets killed millions & destroyed their economy. A certain awolowo puaperized them by giving them a few pounds for whatever millions they had in bank & afterwards sold MNC's to other Nigerians but today, they are back at the top! meen he who God has blessed, let no man curse.

Hello, I stated that fine should be based on a standard. I didnt say no fines. There must be a standard so the companies will not assume that they are being victimized. In every country, there is a set fine for defaults, you dont just fine 1billion, 2 trillion etc just like that. I am totally in support of fines, but certainly has to be stipulated fine for certain actions, in fact fines can be more than what is presently charged, but there should be set out and drawn up in agreement with regulating Ministry/Deprtment, MAN and Labour.
That is what those programmed robots licking every act of buhari fails to understand. How can you wake up one morning & arbitrarily slam billions & trillions as fine to firms that are already recording losses?? What message are they sending accross to would be investors & those operating here??

See I have giving up on Nigeria & with the system in place, they will never get it right till eternity. I have decided to channel my energy in support of Biafra because that is our last hope!! A country with no energy supply, bad network of roads etc still has the temerity to be imposing outrageous fines on the few courageous firms that invested in Nigeria. So this is how this lazy & myopic government is going to raise funds?? Poorer countries like Ethiopia & kenya are putting in place good policies that is attracting FDI, nobody is coming to Nigeria anymore, capital flight is the order of the day & massive youth unemployment. Buhari is passionately reversing the significant gains made by GEJ & at the rate we are going, we will soon become the Greece of Africa. God bless GEJ!

Every tom, dick & harry now has an opinion on Biafran. Look at this semi illiterate writing griberish on something he obviously lacks knowledge on. Its apparent that most Nigerians that are benefiting from the status qou ante are already jittery that seccesionist struggle is gaining momentum by the day especially since the alliance between SE/SS & the massive protests going on in the Biafran territory. I did not bother myself to read the whole length of the nonsense that was written there. The i.d!ot said that d Easterners will lose their federal jobs in the army,navy, air force etc but he forgot Northerners already dominate the barracks & most federal jobs & as Biafrans are returning, they too will be leaving & d vaccum will be filled by us! People forgot that Nigeria was made dysfunctional through quota system to subdue the south since the north with their lazy & laid-back way of life cannot compete in a merit driven society.

I see the following happening in the coming days.1. Increased protests in the south-east/south-south & abuja. 2. Overwhelmed police shooting at protesters which would cause more public outcry. 3. Increased relocation of Igbos & ND people away from d North. 4 Protests by Easterners in places like London, New york, Texas et al & at Nigerian embassies globally. 5. Increased covert & overt support by the Igbo & ND elite. 6. Editorials & headline about Biafra & seccession by global media like new york times, economist, cnn, bbc & the likes. 7. Hostility & probably riots against Igbo & ND interests in d North & reprisals in d East. 8. Obama asking d UN to conduct a referendum on Biafra.

That Nigeria was once a great a country – It is common to hear Nigerian’s make statements like “our country will be great again”. This comment is quite delusional.
Nigeria, to the best of my knowledge has never been a great country. You may try to pass of some of our characteristics like population, ethnicity or the fact that we used to have groundnut pyramids in the past as greatness but reasonably, these things don’t make you great.
Examples of countries that were great are China and Argentina. They were both known to be highly prosperous countries in the past and unfortunately lost their prosperity as time went by.
Nigeria has never been known to be a prosperous country since its independence till date.

That Nigeria is a rich country: This is another unfounded untruth that is perpetuated by some ignorant Nigerians.
The “GDP per capita” is the standard used in measuring how rich a country is. Nigeria’s GDP per capita currently stands at 3000 dollars. This makes Nigeria a low income country and one of the poorest countries in the world.

That Nigeria is more developed than most countries in Africa: Some Nigerians who have never been beyond the boundaries of Lagos and Abuja would think there are fewer places in Africa that are better than these places (and Nigeria as a whole) in terms of infrastructure and economic development.
Recent ratings from the World Economic Forum’s global competitiveness report shows that even in West Africa, certain countries like Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Cape Verde and Senegal all have better infrastructure ratings than Nigeria.
Honestly speaking, Nigerians have a myopic view as to what true socio-economic growth and development entails. Seeing private jets and luxurious cars as development while majority of the populace cannot afford beyond the basic necessities of life isn’t development.

[b][b]That Nigeria would develop and be great:
Although we can’t predict the future, we can judge from history and the current state of affairs to project what the future would look like.
The possibility of Nigeria becoming great with its current structures, constitution and institutions is very slim.
The current socio-political and economic regime that perpetuates greed, rent-seeking, injustice and laziness will not get this country where is plans to be.
Until we begin to call for a structural and systemic change, Nigeria may not witness any progress in the long-run.

You start having state sponsored destruction of excellence called quota system, whereby someone will score 10, 5 or even 0 and yet will be giving admission while someone who scored 100 will be denied access to federal school!!! Ahmadu Bello today is celebrated in the country yet this man sowed the seed of discord when this country was at infancy, his hate filled statements against the south especially the Igbos is well documented. How can we develop when everybody is pulling in different directions?? Since 1960 we have been repairing Lagos-Ibadan exp way, Benin-Ore exp way, Enugu-Port Harcout exp way, Kano-Maiduguiri exp way yet they have never been motor-able and believe me we will remain in these state till 2100!!! The same with Energy supply, it keeps getting worse with each new government despite billions of naira that have been spent on it. When countries that used to be at par with us like South Korea, China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia are fast entering first world status, we are still scavenging as a poor third world country!!! We have two options left, it is either we become a truly federal state whereby every part controls its resources and determines its pace, destiny and development based on hard work or divide and go our separate ways. We have deceived ourselves enough already and anybody who still supports Nigeria's present state is wicked not only to himself but to humanity and generations yet unborn!!!

Since 1960 we have been repairing Lagos-Ibadan exp way, Benin-Ore exp way, Enugu-Port Harcout exp way, Kano-Maiduguiri exp way yet they have never been motor-able and believe me we will remain in these state till 2100!!! The same with Energy supply, it keeps getting worse with each new government despite billions of naira that have been spent on it. When countries that used to be at par with us like South Korea, China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia are fast entering first world status, we are still scavenging as a poor third world country!!! We have two options left, it is either we become a truly federal state whereby every part controls its resources and determines its pace, destiny and development based on hard work or divide and go our separate ways. We have deceived ourselves enough already and anybody who still supports Nigeria's present state is wicked not only to himself but to humanity and generations yet unborn!!!

If you tighten the economy and there is liquidity squeeze,this is what happens.The spending power of Nigerians has been weakened so they cant purchase as much goods as they use to purchase hence those companies are posting losses. I believe that when the cabinet is fully set up and federal govt starts implementing the budget,more money will circulate and we can begin to notice improvements in the economy generally
And it will take an eon for something as basic as cabinet set-up?? Nigeria is burning yet buhari is fiddling! How on earth did we find ourselves in this position? Oh I remember that some Nigerians vowed to vote in d senile old man even if all he had was a standard 6 & NEPA bill as certificate, lol, lwkmd karma is a b!tch indeed.
