Ok I am Muslim, & have respect for the office of the President, has your religious & ethnic bigotry now been bruised?

Hahahahahahahaha

I don't care about your religion Sir. Actually, the bolded is what I'm laughing at . It's just so funny abeg.

sapele914:
Dummy what kind of statement is Nigerian Muslims worship Buhari? You sound fully like an oblivious religious & ethnic Bigot? I am not Muslim but have respect for the office of The President Of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Hahahahahahahaha

See the problem is that many northerners in Nigeria cannot read and interpret. The ones that can read will interpret it wrongly for the ones who cannot read and before you know it,the whole north will have a wrong understanding of a speech. Don't be surprised if one illiterate in sokoto tells you that bishop kukah ordered the killing of muslims or a coup against buhari. That's how he was told the story and he can go on a killing venture with that mentality. That's the problem with the North.

Rochas completed that flyover before he left office and people pass there everyday. In fact, the light on the bridge was very functional then.

Op abeg stop lying. That flyover is opposite my street and it's in use as we speak. I can even go and snap pictures for you but laziness will not let me. Just stop saying what you don't know.

Kanu has promised his gullible followers biafra on several occasions and dates.

When people were getting tired and stopped making donations, he setup his security network to motivate people to contribute to the imaginary biafra.

They posted a video for the gullible followers, claiming there was a shootout with the police and his security team.

Parked a police van and claimed the police ran away. They could record the cars parked, but could not record the confrontation.

This 419 is in his blood.

If kanu is a scammer, then what will you call your politicians?

[quote author= post=98108708]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. [/quote]Bia @MANNABBQGRILS
Where did you copy this idiot from?

This Man is a selfish idiot. He kept ranting about how nnamdi kanu was sponsored by an imaginary politician but avoided the fact that many igbos want Biafra which is the real reason for the love for kanu. These politicians are very useless. I still find it strange and absurd for a human being to keep clamoring for a useless presidency of 8 years instead of having his own country.

Mocata:
Oh oh, another thread for Igbo people to masturbate and moan about the first coup

The only tribe that does not have shame, and will never tell themselves the truth talkless of other people.

Stop drugs, mba, you say all hustle na hustle. Teach your kids the real history of the war, na lie! You must blame other people for the mess your haughtiness, pride and tribalistic mindset brought on yourselves.

Keep trying to shift goal post. You participated in the killing of your leader and shifted the whole blame on nndigbo. Nigeria is really a funny county.

Look at who is talking about crime. Your region is HOME to two deadly groups and they are known all over the world. Oh yes, you people have made them feel at home there. Which drugs are you talking about? The one that your youths and women take on a daily basis? Bia take your time oh.

Coronabirus:
You're very wicked, insensitive and inhumane. if u know how painful the exit of Northern political class in that coup is still in the mind of even children in the north you won't have put this thread. The death of our golden sons is afresh in our mind as if they died yesterday, we always mourn their death.
May be it's not yet time for you people to know how painful it's but keep mocking us about their death may be one day you'll know.
Sardauna was kind and treated people of all tribes and religion equally, we didn't know tribalism and ethno-religious misunderstanding in the North untill after his exit our enemies came and plant the bomb of ethno-religious crisis among us. Both Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa were falsely accused of mismanagement of resources untill after their death when it's discovered that Tafawa Balewa died a poor man; left only TV given to him by Queen of England, 3 set of clothes and some debt which he couldn't clear as prime minister of Nigeria. The same with Sardauna, he left nothing special, no wealth or money.

You're the one that is very wicked, insensitive and inhumane. The way you mourn the death of your " Golden sons" is the way we mourn our leaders and people who were killed by your kinsmen.

You didn't know tribalism? Even the devil cannot tell this lie. Who then killed nndigbo during the 1953 kano genocide and 1945 jos riots? Spirits?

If it were a Southerner who threatened a fellow nigerian like this, he would have been in the hands of DSS. Bishop kukah was right after all.

Dong2:
You are either poorly informed or you are deliberately mischievous. The cause of the revolt was not non participation by northern soldiers, it is the betrayal by IBO soldiers who rather than kill the IBO politicial leaders then but allow them to escape instead. That was the beginning of the mistrust against IBO's in Nigeria! If you think you are clever then be ready for the consequence.

That not the view of the northerners I'm talking about. For them, nndigbo killed their leaders especially their highly respected Tafawa Balewa and so, nndigbo must be massacred in return. That was even the main reason for the progorom.

IamWonderful:
Hehehehehehe trying to mutilate and distort history

Mtchew

These same people were killing nndigbo during the progorom for an accusation that they took part in.

Hypocrisy is not New in nigeria. In fact it started before independence and it revealed itself even during the the first coup.

The coup was called an Igbo coup (even though it's not) by many Nigerians especially the northerners but the simple question they cannot ask themselves is_ Did major kaduna Nzeogu and the rest of the coup plotters Carry out the coup alone?

The answer is No. They didn't and they are not capable of doing it alone. They used the same nigerian troops which was and is still dominated by the northerners to successfully Carry out the coup.

The one that shocked me was that Nzeogu did his own successfully in the northern Nigeria with the same northern troops! Now these same northerners after the coup, turned around to blame nndigbo for killing their leader when they were the troops used to carry out the act. Is this not hypocrisy?

IamWonderful:
Are igbos monkeys with fetters around their waist? I don't seems to understand all these let igbo go that have rented the air, if you want your own country, tell your house of assembly members to present it before the house, enough of playing victims and throwing tantrums and lamenting like a toddlers begging for biscuits

Whenever I see nonsense like the ones you typed, I begin to wonder whether you are a nigerian or an alien. Are you okay? Oya let's say they took it to the national assembly. Do you think everyone will stand up and applaud the idea immediately? In an assembly where the south east is a minority?

No I am not. It's just like God used his two hands to curse Nigeria after the war. Tufiakwa.

chrisxxx:
Give me Igbo word for Yes

I can remember referring you to goggle but let me save you the stress. Yes in Igbo language is Ehh, Ohh or Ekwerem. It has been so even before your forefathers were begotten . Are you happy now?

chrisxxx:
Ikwerre man has never left his home to your home. Everyone knows that you are the migrants who move to places to usurp their culture and tradition.
Evidentially you stole my language. As a prove give me the Igbo word for 'Yes'.
Anytime you get that I will continue the argument with you.

Just look at your pattern of reasoning. Igbos travel everywhere and migrate to anywhere in the world. If you think that a few percentage of nndigbo you see in ikweree Land Will Make them copy ikweree language, how about other languages of the world since we are everywhere? Is ikweree Land the only place we have migrated to? What about uhrobo,itshekiri, spanish, italian, French, Fulani, Yoruba, swahili, Zulu and All The languages of the world? We should have copied them too right? Mtchew

chrisxxx:
My brother God bless you. If Ikwerre had got 5 states the same way Igbos have, they would not have been rooted in this argument.
Let me show you a prove of the superiority of Ikwerre Language over what Igbo speaks. Any time an Igbo person tells you Ikwerre people speak Igbo just tell him to give you the Igbo word for "Yes". I tell you it does not exist. As simple as "Yes" does not exixst in Igbo Language but they will say a language that has everything in it was copied from one that is incomplete. SMH.

The meaning of Yes in Igbo is on goggle. Go and check it.

This ikweree matter is very annoying. Anytime this matter comes up and i see the reaction of some igbos,my blood begins to boil. Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with nndigbo. How can you keep accepting a people that have refused and rejected you before the world. This matter did not start today. It has been lingering for years even before the war, but yet some igbos will still be dragging them. Even jesus christ cannot behave like this.

What the ohaneze should be doing now is to remove people like the ikwerees from the group. Let everybody know where they stand and answer their fathers name. By doing this, everyone will know the people who are called nndigbo and address us as such. In fact, make I go sleep. This matter don vex me.

edoairways:
Yet you want Port Harcourt to be part of Biafra?

No I don't and have never wanted that. Listen here, I'm not one of those igbos who are scared of a Biafra without the south south, and neither can I be cowered by that oil rant of theirs. I believe that nndigbo can achieve anything we want to with or without oil. Enough of the father Christmas game. If you are Igbo,then show it. Its not an identity to be ashamed of because of just some favour from the government.I don't blame them. I blame the igbos who continually drag them to be igbos by force thereby bringing more and mockery to the Igbo race.

Funny enough, the people asking for the protest to begin in the south east, will call it Biafran protest or ipob protest when it starts.

Very soon, people that have slept with 7 years old girls in the name of marriage will ask for the head of this woman. What kind of religion is this?

Lol

owobokiri:
His father the great Sen Obi Wali was killled for his pro-igbo views in ikwerre land.. This is why I always insist that igbos who get easily irritated by the views of the likes of Wike and Omehia don't understand the primitive politics at play.. Who remembers here that the Ogoni elders burnt alive by Saro Wiwas mob were also mostly from the branch of Ogonis who supported Biafra during the war? Saro Wiwa reffered to them as "vultures" and few hours later,they were all dead! Those were some people's parents too. Many south south leaders took a lot of fire for being pro east.. Most of those empowered economically and politically after the war from those areas are the ones willing to dance to federal government tunes..

Oga, there is absolutely no reason why the Igbo identity should be worn like a uniform. You can't be Igbo whenever you like, or whenever you are empowered by the government. They should come out clean and tell us which side they belong. If majority of them say they are not igbos,then why do we keep accepting them? We should stop attracting mockery on the Igbo race. it's annoying.

This is nonsense na

Why should an ikweree man hold any office in ohaneze. This is an insult to nndigbo.

Auxigen:
How old are you?

Why do you ask?

She must be from the Marine kingdom

Witchcraft is not only when someone is sucking human blood or practicing black magic in a coven. It's also witchcraft when you can't appreciate good things or when you can't stand seeing something good about someone or a group of people or even a place.

Bia op, how are you sure your mother was not an ashawo? Only children of ashawos can call someone's mother ashawo.
