Like I keep saying the beer Palour lies is the reason why other tribe is staying clear of you people.

So ijaw, efik,benin etc was part of the delegates who mandated ojukwu to declare Biafra and during the War Biafra soliders were killing them ??

Nawa ooo

First correction Benin was not part of eastern region but Midwest region

And yes in may 26th 1967 ojukwu had an emergency meeting with his special advisory committee of chiefs and elders in Enugu, on may 27th the consultative assembly mandated ojukwu to declare biafra , the assembly was not only made of igbos the minorities were there too, some of the most distinguished persons in that meeting were the likes of,
Nnamdi Azikiwe
Michael okpara
Francis ibiam
Dr Alvan ikoku
Mr N.U Akpan
Mr Joseph Echeruo
Mr Ekukinam bassey
Mr Jerome udoji
Chief margaret Ekpo
Etc


And why will igbos turn around to kill their fellow biafrans when they were even suffering from shortage of arms to fight the federal troops?

Bobodee09:
Another beer parlor lies.

So adaka boro and the minority was consulted by ojukwu??

Keep saying the narrative that suit you.....the lies never stops.

Who was Adaka boro ? Adaka boro was a nobody a student in the University of Nigeria Nsukka, the minorities were part of the delegates of the eastern region who mandated ojukwu to declare biafra

Bobodee09:
Counter what he said that lead to War or STFU.

Always the victim in every situation.

The only tribe that declare a war, fought it and lost but still expect pity by playing victim card.

What led to the war was not the nzeogwu coup cause northerners had their revenge in the counter coup when they assassinated ironsi and thousands of igbo military soldiers plus hundreds of thousands of igbo civilians all over Nigeria, the north were satisfied with their revenge and they were ready to break away from the country and form their own separate country like they always wanted, that was why Gowon went to Aburi and agreed to every single demand ojukwu and the eastern delegate demanded of him in Ghana, upon his return to Lagos Gowon was preparing to give the final speech of the northern region breaking away from Nigeria when he was stopped by the British foreign ambassadors not to do that, they asked Gowon to hold a meeting with the northerners once more and explain to them that one Nigeria will benefit them more than everyone cause they have the population plus they will lose out on the huge oil deposit in the eastern region if they pullout of the union, Gowon spoke with the north and they agreed, in order to take control of the oil in eastern region, awolowo plus the foreign ambassadors advised Gowon to divide the eastern region into smaller regions and cave out igbo from the oil territories, that's exactly what Gowon did and ojukwu declared biafran independence , and Gowon brought war to biafra, so Gowon and awolowo started the war not igbos

Don't try to be smart. I asked you the question since a small group of people now means a whole tribe of millions to you.

I explained to you that I wrote ipob- the nairaland bot changed it to Igbo

004gist:
Which 16 billion are u talking about? Do u know what's 16 billion dollars is all about? Or are u guys caused?

I asked a simple question, what happened to the 16$ billion spent on power by his administration

9jatriot:
Obaasanjo try sha, I wonder if his third term bid would have been such a bad thing after all.

But his choice of successor was abysmal to say the least. Yar'a Dua practically reversed many of the things Obj ha set in motion. He reversed the sale of the refinery to Dangotte and then set the power sector backwards forever.

To be popular he reversed the increment in petrol, of course short sighted people still hail him for that till today but in hindsight, it was a wrong move.

Then I do not even want to mention Jonathan, that one squandered the resources of the country.

Obasanjo is the reason Nigeria is still suffering epileptic power supply, where is the 16$ billion spent on power by him?

EmperorCaesar:


Thats because GEJ was one of the few Presidents that ruled us after you

Jonathan was shit...Under him, billions was wasted for no just cause

I remember Dansuki
I remember Stella Oduah bullet proof cars

Ngozi Okonjo couldnt account for the missing $20m under her

GEJ oversaw the most corrupt practices ever in Nigerian history. The biggest heists too

We should skip his era and erase his name from our history

Obasanjo couldn't give account of the $16 billion dollars wasted on electricity power

How many people make up IPOB?

I don't know the population of ipob-members if you know tell me?

How did igbos provoke Reno? Oga youbguys should stop all this BS.

I'm an igbo guy , I wrote provoked by ipob-s* the nairaland bot changed it to Igbo
Reno omokri during the buhari regim gained alot of ipob-* followers cause he was constantly attacking buhari who was a enemy of ipob* , but Reno omokri later said somethings about nnamdi KANU that didn't sit well with his ipob-* followers during the time nnamdi KANU was arrested, and that's how ipob-* started threatening him , tracking his location where he lives in the US , ipob-* even threaten to kill his daughter,ipob-* even reviewed to the public how Reno abandoned his Nigeria wife who had a child with special needs to marry another woman from Ethiopia etc that's how the problem Reno omokri had with ipob-* who were once his friends turned him to a tribal bigot , he developed igbophobia

He was a great man, for standing for democracy. lol, the dumbo I quoted claims we hate them yet he created a nickname with a Yoruba name on a Yoruba-man owned forum. Looool. Such daft people. lol, you people and your gaslighting, blackmailing and calumny. Lol

Listen Ojukwu, no Yoruba man anywhere cares about you people. We do not send you. We don't even mind what you chose to do with yourself. I dare say no Yoruba thinks about y'all enough to hate you. If Igbo man wins in Lagos and Hausa man wins in Osun, while Igbo man won in all of South eastern states then it's easy to see the cheap, unintelligent blackmail. Bro, Yorubas don't care about your existence or even the air you breathe in!

Look, we're Yorubas and education is our watchword, from the days of our founding fathers, because we're positioned with exposure. We learn from and model towards the Whites, rather than staying logged with our bitter neighbours at home. It's this reason you see Yorubas excelling in the White men's land at a ratio astronomical than other tribes around.

My dear, every hate you think Yorubas have for anyone in Nigeria is imaginary. I swear it only exists in your people's mind. In fact, most of us Yorubas still patronize your people (ahead of ours) like we don't care, especially if you sell at a better price than ours for the same thing or it's convenient for us because we don't even see you as rivals–this is rare among non-Yorubas. Our goals is to be great, to go far in life and achieve great things along the White men like Soyinka did, like Tope Awotona did, like Gbenga Agboola, Adebayo Ogunlesi, Eniola Aluko, Tion Wayne, https://www.nairaland.com/6531702/victory-yinka-banjo-gets-19-scholarship, and so on. We are not poised to embroil with some petty lowlifers back home who are comfortable with being local champions and winning little things. Goodluck to una sha. We'll never hate you because we're never competitors. We're not in the same calibres or lane at all.

Too many people are quoting me and referring to the last election and bla bla bla. The way you people usually quickly allude to 2023 election like we did something unheard of. As though the below didn't happen in Amanbra during 2023 election. https://www.nairaland.com/7585504/elderly-man-assaulted-voting-apc

Always playing the election cards, yet I know no other candidates who won in the SE than the fraud Obi. North and West had different winners in their fold yet the gaslighters think others are tribalistic. So ignorant people. Only God knows what Obidients do with their brains apart from hate.

---

Anyways, goodluck to una o. E ma wa okay. It will never be a duty for me to educate people who can barely read, or even understand a simple concept if they lack any worthy education. My point in a nutshell is: Yorubas do not hate or care about you nor your existence, Igbos! Try to move on, because we have bigger fishes on our tray to fry. Ire o.

Continue consoling yourself with the myth of Yoruba being the most educated people in Nigeria, that myth ended in 1950

in achebe's words
"The origin of the national resentment of the Igbo is as old as Nigeria and quite as complicated.
"But it can be summarised thus: The Igbo " being receptive to change, individualistic and highly competitive, gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.
"Unlike the Hausa/Fulani he was unhindered by a wary religion and unlike the Yoruba unhampered by traditional hierarchies. This kind of creature, not fearing God nor man, was custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man's dispensation. And the Igbo did so with both hands.
"Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head-start the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.
"Had the Igbo been a minor ethnic group of a few hundred thousand, their menace might have been easily and quietly contained. But they ran in their millions! Like J.P Clark's fine image of 'ants filing out of the wood' the Igbo moved out of their forest home, scattered and virtually seized the floor.
"But this kind of success can carry a deadly penalty: the danger of hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invites envy and hatred;"
Prof Chinua Achebe

You are just making noise to console yourself nothing more

Politicians jump from one party to another it's not new in politics, but when you push your political ambition beyond politics and enters bigotry then that's when it becomes messy , we know Reno omokri provoked by ipob-s went beyond politics, and tinubu and the federal government won't give such a person an open appointment they can only pay him secretly to continue on X as an unofficial spoke person , FFK was used same way

I am sure in the olden days, Nigerians used to interact with the ocean before the settlement of whites.
They used to do finishing or traveling using the ocean

Yes there are alot of minority tribes that settled at the coastal areas who did fish and travel using the ocean, but majority of Nollywood movies are igbo movies, igbos are forest settler's not coastal settler's

The guy is just unnecessarily arrogant
If he doesn't like people on the internet he can at least go to his community and build a school or hospital there, his local government is one of the poorest in rivers state

zhike:
Nollywood is one of the big movie producers in the world. In Nigeria there is an ocean. Kindly why nollywood is not producing movies in the ocean. it would be good to have Nigerian movies where people are diving deep in the ocean, seeing people diving with sharks and dolphins, etc.

Most Nollywood movies are based on our culture and traditions, why should we shoot movies diving deep in oceans when the story is about a village settlement?

AmalaAtiEwedu:
u too dumb to know wetin i talk

You just confirmed you are dumb

AmalaAtiEwedu:
in 5 plots of land Yes

Didn't know Nigeria is 5 plots of land, where you are typing from mentioning ojukwus name is more than 5 plots

Nothing will ever work in this country until the country is restructured the regional government

AmalaAtiEwedu:
long live General Yakubu Gowon

Is Gowon still alive or dead cause ojukwu that died many years ago is mentioned more than Gowon?

AmalaAtiEwedu:

5 years before Ojukwu corrupted the tiny brains of people of that region

So ojukwu attacked people from that region all over Nigeria forced them to return home and corrupted their tiny brains? Your tiny brain is corrupted by whoever told you that false history

Going through NUC and world ranking lately and this school isnt even among the top 15 in Nigeria...its not even been there since maybe 1999 sef

UNN was a project initiated by ZIK it was an eastern regional project, colonial masters built the college of Ibadan it was not a western regional project

The old debt the shops had before the meter was installed will be added to the outstanding bill of the meter they will be deducting on every recharge till the debt is fully paid, I have same issue 2k Is deducted to pay my outstanding bills on every of my recharge

ObidenceNeckpre:
Igbos feeding fat on the prosperous Yoruba land , yet very ungrateful lots

Yoruba's should try and feed fat on their own lands nobody is stopping them , if you are expecting a thank you from igbos then you will die of hunger on your so called prosperous land

sreamsense:
You are still dancing on the floor of ignorance! Ipob did not kill soldiers, instead they kill igbos police, army, Ezes, Igbo civilians and rich and poor they want to govern. How does that make sense to you? And who is deceiving you is 50:50 ? Or maybe you are using same low grade ipob infected brain that believed buhari was cloned to believe your 50:50 theory when police had nearly conquered ipob including those ipob those ipob found practicing cannibalism in their evil forest. Tell ipob to announce a meeting point to face police one so count and prove your 50:50 theory

Why are you contradicting yourself? You said ipob did not kill soldiers then you went on to say they killed police, army , are the police and army not real police and army cause they were igbos? Ipob killed police army it's 50/50 and the killing of police and army is still happening in the south east nobody care about the tribe they come from
There are igbos who died and are still willing to die for biafra , there are igbos who donated money and are still donating for biafra whether biafra comes or not that's bravery of an igbo man , not just igbo all nations of the world made such sacrifices some lost some won that's bravery


You claim how cultured and educated Yoruba is but yoruba's were out there dancing behind an illiterate called igboho who submitted a petition to a security guard , no Yoruba cowards is willing to die for oduduwa republic no Yoruba is willing to donate for oduduwa republic , that's a nation of cowards

sreamsense:
Keep deceiving yourself! Bravery is never in the dictionary of ipob and those clamouring for Biafra in the first place. From ojukwu, Nwazuruike, Kanu and ekpa, they always run away from battle ground to enjoy loots and donation. Most of those pictures you attached were taken by ipob to scam igbos for more donations and levies to trickle in.

If you think attack of igboho was actually the same like that of kanu, then igboho is wiser than kanu in the sense that igboho did not gather violent youth together to start war with army they can't finish unlike how ipob wasted life of igbo youths on frivolous fighting. Igboho was free because he did not kill a fly either in agitation or police, but kanu already involves himself in many criminal ventures that his best lawyers could not save him

At least soldiers killed ipo-bs ipo-bs killed soldiers 50/50 that's bravery, boys were killed in igbohos house he did nothing

Yoruba's are cowards not cultured everyone knows that, IBB said it , if he wakess up at night and hear yoruba's beating drums of war he will quietly go back to sleep cause yoruba's are verbal warriors cowards , that's why nobody takes this yoruba agitation serious cause it only starts and ends with the mouth

sreamsense:
Let him loose it! He can still remember the colour of his prison key. Kanu and ekpa did not use their brains well because ipob was being directed by illiterates unlike Yoruba nation that is being directed by a professor who is being carefull of violating the law. Now, the response to honourable minister of foreign affairs was superb and expected. Ipob and Yoruba nations should return back to their local legislators to make right decision.

Yorubas wouldn't take harms killing their Yorubas unlike ipob and ekpa killing Igbo civilians, millitary, rich and poor because of futureless Biafra matter. Yorubas are more cultured and enlighten than ipobs in that regards

What Yoruba nation is doing is child's play to the length nnamdi KANU took his biafran agitation, if you don't know when the agitation became violent then asked questions, besides the difference between the yoruba's and igbos in that aspect is a matter of bravely and cowardice, yoruba's are cowards not cultureed , we know how people were killed in igbohos house

Beverlyjean:
Oga shut up...Nigeria treated them badly when they came to play... u told them to land in PH while the match was in Uyo , u guys sent them bus that was rickety with no AC to drive for 3 to 4 hrs iwith our terrible roads ... and then ended up dumping them in terrible place that me myself can't even be seen coming out from... gave them nonsense food ...they complained, and ubguys told them to manage .... because one criminal decided to half the money into 2 while the next halved the half money into 2 again...due to high level of corruption.... Now they are playing the same game and u all dare to complain.... because they are not like us that complain on social media.... South Africans complained about same .... Nigerians are bad people to be honest ...and u people think others are as foolish as us that our leaders treat like trash and we just accept it

Can you show pictures of them sleeping in the airport in PH with no food and water? Can you show pictures of those terrible places ?

aariwa:
Good step in the right direction from Igboho . From Uwazuruike to Kanu , Ekpa etc none had ever approached United Nations or EU or Britain or US or their congresses with a formal application for Biafra except resort to violence and blood letting makes you wonder whether these men are really serious about Biafran secession/ sovereignty or playing on emotions of ordinary people that want Biafra to siphon their monies

You don't know the length to which nnamdi KANU went with this biafran agitation , what igboho is doing now is child's play

RealityOfReason:
You have a good argument. Although I thought Emeka Anyaoku was the protagonist of turning the six geopolitical zones into federating units. See, yoruba have always been at the forefront of true federalism since the days of Awolowo. In fact, Awolowo went to prison for alleged treason of planning mutiny of the Western region against the federal government. The yoruba have always loved to do their own thing in their own ways . Remember that they still have strong regional structures and practices such as DAWN commission, June 12 democracy day (which was nationalized by Buhari), Agbekoya and OPC, which are trans-states western regional associations, and so on. The reason, I think, Tinubu is not using the federal power to force a return to regional government/real federalism is because he is indeed not a yoruba candidate. He may have rode on the emilokan mantra but his electoral victory was made possible because of his northern votes and alliances, so thinking he would stab them by implementing fiscal federalism is not feasible.

I totally believe that we need to curb the moral deficiency in every Nigerian, but the average corruption is being masked with tribalism. So we need to deconstruct the structure so that Mr. A will be judged by Mr. A's action and not A's origin, going forward. It's total devolution of powers to regions or breakup.

No, Alex ekwema had this idea of six regional government when he was in prison



The north led by almado bello wanted secession, he was scared of being dominated by the yoruba's and the igbos cause back then things were done by merits, the north was poorly educated, they didn't have enough educated people to fill in the spot the whites were leaving behind when they were preparing to give Nigeria independence, almado bello could have been the prime minister of Nigeria but he didn't want to leave the north to Lagos so he opted to remain the prime minister of the north while his second in command balewa became the prime minister of Nigeria.
the igbos at that time championed the one Nigeria campaign under zik

Awolowo wanted federalism

Although awolowo went to prison for treasonable felony, his journey to prison started of as a political conflict between him and Ladoke Akintola who was then the prime minister of western region

RevDesm0ndJuju:
You lie.

Only Yorubas and SS people have been consistent about their demands for regional government to replace the centrist system.

Guess who has never ever called for a return regional govt- you Ibos.

My friend go and watch what Senator Opeyemi Bamidele of ekiti said in support of the northern senators who rejected regional government, he said returning to regional government is automatically given south east biafra,

igbos have always demanded a return to regional government , do you know how the six geopolitical zones came to be ? It was a Creation of alex ekwueme who led the campaign of a return to regional government, he proposed a six regional government with six prime ministers heading these regions to decentralized power from the center, back then during the time abacha was head of state , he continued after Nigeria returned to democracy under Obasanjo , it was never implemented , Ohanaeze Ndigbo supported regional government, can you tell me any effort the yoruba's made for a return to regional government like the igbos?
