Organs: See here, if you know how much Orji Uzor Kalu, Stella Oduah and Chimaroke Nnamani stole, it will be enough to build hospitals, roads and good schools all over Igboland. However, you think Hausa or Fulani is your problem. Our problem is we ourselves that choose those leaders. You typing nonsense right now, you must have bribed the police or bribe or used connection to gain admission or something. Now it is from this same subset we choose our policemen, army, leaders etc. We all are corrupt. Stop the tribalism and hate. Ebitu Ukiwe is Igbo, he resigned from IBB's govt because of the corruption of IBB, if he comes out like Buhari did, it is the North mostly that will support and vote for him. He is a fine upright and responsible leader. Igbos will not rally round him as a leader, it is criminal elements you want to rally around. Stop the bigotry and hate. We need to all come together and start preparing a united party with responsible forward thinking folks against 2023 and sack these old hags.
If Ebitu Ukiwe can ever subdue the lopsided political structure of Nigeria and emerge presidential candidate of APC or PDP, your north can’t vote him so long as another northern presidential candidate is in opposition party.
Stop selling oil snake to protect dysfunctional one Nigeria that gives you in the north more economic and political advantages over any group in the south.
Kick for political restructuring of Nigeria to true and fiscal federalism, before Nigeria splits peacefully or violently. You are not confusing anyone. No angel can emerge from the present political structure of Nigeria to lead Nigeria to prosperity.
Once I saw this on NL front page, I knew an Igbo must be the subject.
Other Nigerians commit more heinous crimes abroad. They don’t make front page.
Nigeria’s annual budget are stolen- the rogues don’t make front page on NL.
Blackmail Igbo to submission so that the rest of the oil producing areas in the Nigerdelta shall be for total grabs, remove the 13% on derivation from the oil producing areas, don’t let Igbo continue with agitation for Biafra because if Biafra goes, the rest of the oil producing areas shall also leave Nigeria - these are all the pressure and blackmail on Igbo are all about.
PROUDLY IGBO.
IGBO AMAKA.
If Igbo is bad, let them have a new country from Nigeria, otherwise, shorruup.
Organs: Bros, truth be told, if i am igbo, i will be ashamed that Cross River, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Edo etc that has similar culture, faith etc with Igbos will rather chose the North over the Igbos. It's a shame and if i were you, i will take initiative and see how you can start rethinking your mindset, belief, mentality and start changing that from amongst the youth. So, in another twenty years, the narrative will be different. Now guess what, you won't do that, you are too filled with hate, believe in your own lies and too arrogant to accept the truth. Now about Biafra, follow the Brexit example, start with the local govt, then state and then National Assembly. Follow the process, do the work. The other time you were boasting and beating your chest, then the North gave you ultimatum to leave and you now calmed down. Now you started again, don't let Nigeria give you ultimatum oh... abi you think say na play?
For employing every trick, every blackmail in the books to have Igbo continue to share one country with you, you must be ashamed of yourself. Parasite. Your days of parasitic lifestyle are numbered. It’s either Nigeria is politically restructured to TRUE and FISCAL FEDERALISM to enable parasites like you to start to work to use what is in your environment to develop the people in your state/region, Or dissolve Nigeria into more manageable countries.
In your campaign to have the political status quo in Nigeria to remain, you feed falsehood to the public that Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw etc shall chose northern people instead of the Igbo. You are laughable.
Your madness over the Igbo is that Igbo stands as buffer for the other oil producing states in the SS, without the Igbo, you would have bent their backs to tell them that the oil resources in their backyard originated from Jigawa or from Sambisa, therefore, the 13% from derivation should no more be given to them.
danuzochukwu: Being Igbo is actually not by force. Governor Wike is old enough to identify his tribe, but that does not mean that, other Ikwerres can not identify with Igbo.
Wike says he is a Rivers man, a Nigerdeltan, but not most Ikwerres will be foolish enough to describe themselves with two names Rivers and Nigerdelta coined and imposed on them by those who exploit the resources from their land, abandon the land polluted by oil exploitation. Wike is poorly educated, even watching him speak shows it.
I don’t thing I have seen many people from Ikwerre engaging in this argument started by Wike for his personal political career.
Organs: I am not a tribalist. The real tribalists are the IPOB morons.
They did not create the Igbo and your tribe to remain in one country forever. If you can’t live without the Igbo, hence you can’t survive without crude oil producing areas in the SS in your own new country, why try to hang yourself over Igbo and IPOB matters?
Organs: Na you find trouble. I can guarantee you that you cannot pronounce "Bolognese" right. Now, you want to order something you yourself cannot pronounce wella,,,,, doesn't that sound like beginning of dysentry of the mouth to you? Why are you trying to be Italian by force. Why didn't you jejely ask for spaghetti and tomato sauce or Spaghetti and minced meat stew? You are asking for spaghetti ballon d'or or spaghetti hors d oeuvres . You are hereby sentenced to two weeks of amala + ewedu and gbegiri to reset your brain back to Nigerian factory setting.
Why do you employ dirty words and ethnic bigotry speech patterns in all the public discourse you engage in?
Organs: I will restrain from cursing and insulting igbos because i have so many fine well behaved people that are igbos. However the criminal elements amongst them are drowning the voices of the good people amongst them. The criminals amongst them like to trade in criminality, confussions, lies and war. If you give them the war, they will run away, cry to UN, WHO etc and complain. ZIK warned against fighting and wanted peaceful resolution, he was called a hausa mumu, Alex Ekwueme, a fine brilliant gentleman was called a hausa houseboy. Okorocha is called Okoro hausa, Ngige is called Sultan houseboy, now Wike is also a Buhari sellout. However, they will worship and follow hate filled, coward, useless lying Nnamdi Kanu that up till this moment he cannot even fulfil his promise and show his empty headed followers evidence of Buhari as Jubril El sudani. I flinch at the rubbish and lies they share amongst themselves as evidence of everyone against them. Buhari, Wike, Obama's govt, Nigerian Army, Police, Airforce, Yoruba people, Hausas, Fulani, South Africans, Indians, all, are jealous of them and against their Biafra and their progress, can you imagine that mindset and mentality? Yet they did not do anything wrong oh. I feel for my level headed igbo friends truly. They are a fine set of people and i am embarrassed how they got entangled with these bunch of moronic fools.
There must be more criminal elements like you from the tribe you come from than among the Igbos.
Why do you stake everything to make Igbo remain in one Nigeria with you against their interest?
Why do you put everything to have oil producing rivers and others distanced from the Igbo if not your criminal ploys to have the oil producing areas become tiny for your easier exploitation?
All the Igbo ask is a plebiscite for what they ask for. Why are you afraid of plebiscite, the best instrument of democracy? After the plebiscite, you can have Wike and his Ikwerre if they refuse Igbo. But be rest assured that the oil producing areas in the SS can not remain with rest of Nigeria for one month without the Igbo.
Osibanjo will manage resources well and provide for the people so that Arewa 12 states shall denounce Islamic Sharia criminal laws; so that Boko Haram stops fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws, so that herdsmen shall no longer wander into people’s farms —- what a man with a little head size, Osibanjo.
20 new states and hundreds of local government areas proliferated in the north by northern soldiers have been drawing most of federal allocations since about 30 years.
The same roguish political structure made political class from core north Nigeria maintain a stranglehold on Nigeria.
Osinbajo - you have broken record today.
Restructure Nigeria or split Nigeria into more manageable countries now.
And Osibanjo does not know that it’s the skewed and lopsided political structure that makes a professor like him be Vice to a Buhari of all persons? Kwontinue.
QuotaSystem: Honestly it's hard to reason with a rejected Osu.
How are the affairs of the SW your BIGGEST problem beyond saving the lives of ignorant igbos under the deluded leadership of your fugitive dilector?
Really how?
Don't you know its strange for an ethnic group with zero political relevance and ABSOLUTELY no political consequence to pretend to be relevant in the same country with tactical, diplomatic and intelligent neighbours?
You shouldn't even be allowed in the congregation of the free. Seriously.
Return to your IDP camp or rejoin your Boko Haram bros - your self inflicted ulcer through sharia criminal laws.
I share one country with the Yoruba, so what goes bad in the SW region also is bad for me.
You’re a quota system product - little intelligence.
Uche Okwukwu and other opportunistic Ikwerres are all part of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo because Ohanaeze is a useless organization that is obsolete and not in sync with modernity which exactly why the organization has no grassroot support in Igbo land.
Even as UK pulled out of EU, if the EU leaders are stupid enough to make an opportunistic English man claiming to be anti Brexit the Secretary general of EU with the pay package and power that comes with it,do you think such British will decline? The answer is No. But does EU making an English man the Secretary general of EU change the fact that the British back home have no interest in being part of EU.
That Uche Okwukwu an Ikwerre man is even allowed to be part of Ohanaeze let alone rise to post of Secretary general is a testament to how useless Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is as an organization. No Ikwerre or any one whose majority of his people are Igbophobic should be part of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo if the organization is a serious one.
So you IPOB should stop quoting this Uche Okwukwu,because you are only underlying the failure of Igbo leadership as epitomized by Ohanaeze when you use Uche Okwukwu as example of Ikwerre being Igbo.
Don’t make Ikwerre to be tiny and irrelevant by distancing Ikwerre from Igbo.
There are too many people in Ikwerre who claim they are Igbos, and who also identify with any move supported by Igbo majority.
Igbos will NEVER allow myopic people like Wike to make Ikwerre to be tiny and isolated.
Leave Wike to continue to shout himself hoarse in his personal political pursuit.
Ogbuu101: Who cares . Congratulations to Onyesom Ezebunwo Wike son of Nlemanya Wike and his own group among the Ikweres. They're the first group on earth to derive their ethnicity from state creation cos b4 1976 state creation, there was no tribe known as Ikwere. Ikweres were just a subgroup of the Igbos just like Nsukka or Abakaliki ppl.
Modified. It is heartwarming to see Wike is suddenly the darling of yerobber Muslims. Is awa God not a wonderful God?
It’s easier for most Igbos to understand Ikwerre dialect than Abakaliki dialect.
Who knows what is pushing this Wike man in this his macabre dance before the world?
Even a little boy knows that it’s bad politics to do what Wike is doing. What does he stand to gain from this? I don’t see any gain other than further making his oil producing areas more exposed to total exploitation.
Yorubas move in 2015 was a stroke of political genius that will continue to reward them for decades.
It is you Igbos that are so politically clueless that even minorities have gained relevance over you.
Amotekun was a fruit of tactful political lobbying by the intelligent Yoruba and not your rebellious brainless antagonism.
Why must Yoruba invest its federal allocations to fend off your murderous Fulani herdsmen, while you invest your federal allocations to build infrastructures in your northern region?
Don’t you know that it’s strange for an ethnic group to set up a quasi military formation to guard against murderous people from another ethnic group in the same country?
peacekante: The Governor was asked by Dele MOMODU if he is igbo and he gave a blunt reply. "I am not" . He later went on to clarify the misunderstanding about his name and also the ikwere people link to igbo.
Wike, the saliva in your mouth are drying out as you try to rewrite history because you want the kingmakers of Nigeria to appoint you next president or VP of Nigeria.
Igbo and Yoruba and indeed lots of the ethnic groups in the south of Nigeria can be traced to one source at the long run.
Humanity originated from one source.
Wike, disgracing yourself in the public, talking incoherently like a thug won’t make you president or VP. They are laughing at you. #ENDSARS mayhem took place all over Nigeria, not only in Oyigbo.
How are the northern and southern protectorates 3?
If you were not so ignorant you'd realise the US allocated electoral votes per state not equally, but according to the size of the state and population. You can only fool yourself but size and population will ALWAYS be the determinant of political prowess.
Go and sit down.
Clown, see how you nailed yourself: US allocated electoral votes per state depending on population of every state. But in Nigeria, every state has equal electoral value regarding win of 25% votes in 24 states to become winner of Nigeria’s presidential election.
Dumbo, did soldiers from one side of the US create the US political structure and supervised a constitution to legitimize the structure?
If you are not from Arewa, are you not a house Niggaaar? You don’t even understand why Nigeria is like what it’s today. How far?
fk001: What makes you think Nigeria has 3 regions instead of 2 or 6 zones?
Is criminal to tag the whole north as a single zone/ region or whatever while south as two. The north has more tribes than the south, the north is more diverse than the south. Just because they adopted Hausa as their lingua franca that doesn't mean North is single tribe if that's the case then south that adopted Pigieon as their lingua franca should also be called one regardless of tribe.
3 regions formed Nigeria, not 2, in 1960.
The later proliferation of 20 new states in the northern region, but 17 states in the 2 southern regions, by northern military dictators, automatically shifted absolute powers and economic advantages to the northern region.
Ha ha ha. They have been taken as terrorists like those agitating for Biafra.
This is just morning. They were demonstrating for good of Nigeria but never knew that Nigeria can NEVER be good again given its political structure rigged to favor north under unitary governance system. Una go do ENDSARS protest tire. Nothing go come out of it. After many years, una go join those asking for division of Nigeria.
jrusky: Hahahaha here we are again bro see as you reason? Look a very low IQ statement you vomitted?
"Igbo billionaires in Lagos and Abuja will restore Biafra" Bro you slap by back of your head to reset your brain.
Pls how old are you? Abuja and Lagos na their papa land bah? So they will put all they have labour at stake for all their live at stake to help kanu dream bah? You're too intelligent infact you are a Prof. The most stupid person on Earth will never think this way or talk this way. Go hussle and make millions and see how easy to become millionaire talkless of billionaire then you will know how easy it would be to use your hard earn cash to be looking for seccession in a diverse society like Nigeria. Bro you will turn church rat with the type of poverty that will befall you I swear.
Biko say something else you have lost these already. Ndooh!!!
Parasite. Stop writing rubbish. Your livelihood depends on one Nigeria. No country was created to remain one forever.
Igbos left all their wealth and landed properties in Lagos and north when you provided opportunity for proclamation of Biafra sovereign country.
Eastlink: The SE are the cause of their political predicaments today. They lost the plot after the death of Zik. No matter how the pro-Biafran dumb bandwagon may want to paint Zik, he made sure the Igbos got their fair share in the power sharing equation. Any wonder why since 1993 no Igbo have come close to attaining the Presidential seat. Following the PDP stupidly was a political mistake that has come back to hunt Igbos.
Seeing that the PDP had no future for them from 1999 -2003, they should have joined any formidable party to send them packing. But that was never done. In 2003 when the opportunity presented itself they foolishly played the southern game by supporting Obasanjo instead of a Buhari with a SE running mate. They had the opportunity with Buhari/Okadigbo ANPP but cowardly supported Obasanjo. What did Obasanjo gift them in return, political death? The same Obasanjo is the godfather of MASSOB who has now metamorphosed to IPOB, a monster currently ravaging the Igbo nation.
The opportunity arose again in 2007 with Buhari / Umezuoke but still our people ignorantly sold their birthright supporting Yar’adua / GEJ. Though Yar’adua was fair to everyone, but fairness and sympathy votes don’t count in Nigeria.
The last opportunity came in 2015 when Buhari toured the SE for Igbo alliance. A zone that had stood with him since 2001, but what he saw made him weep. Seeing that he couldn't get it he looked to the SW. This was where Ndigbo shot themselves in the foot. Even when the likes of Rochas with his APGA faction along with Ogbonnaya Onu ANPP rallied Ndigbo to join the APC, the wicked PDP politicians of Igbo extraction called them outcast and continued dining with the PDP. What should have been a bargaining chip in the APC was sold on the alter of greed. By foolishly standing with GEJ in 2015, the SE sounded their political death knell.
Well, It’s never too late than never. The SE must leave the PDP in drove, either starting a new party or seek the fellowship of the APC. A people must have self-worth and not be easily swayed by emotions. This is the lesson.
So Buhari has done well? You never knew that Buhari would dump those his Igbo VPs to pursue his real interest which he has been pursuing since 2015. What’s the place of Osibanjo now?
internet: If they like, they should all defect to APC. Igbo's will never smell the presidential seat. Ipob miscreants, terrorist, 419 people.
Nigeria remains the same. You earn N30,000 monthly salary but buy a bag of rice with N38,000. Undefinable economic system in Nigeria. You think you are punishing the Igbos.
PDP leaders believe in reality that PDP can only regain power if PDP fields a Fulani against APC.
With 20 states created in one northern region but 17 states created in the two southern regions, the roguish political structure thus makes Fulani-led northern region the quasi new owner of Nigeria.
Land mass is never used as criterion to proliferate too many new states or regions in an area of larger land mass when a country was formed by different regions.
There should have been equal number of states for the three regions that formed Nigeria in 1960.
A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states before proclaimed winner. No presidential candidate from the south can win, unless anointed by Fulani as stooge.
LegendHero: They have succeeded because Azikwe the useful slave willingly gave them power right from the genesis and that boldened them all though these years.
They succeeded because the useful idiot Ekwueme played second fiddle for Shagari in both 1979 and 1983 when his people could have supported a more intelligent Awolowo for the position of presidency on both occasions.
They succeeded because the useful idiot called Ojukwu campaigned openly for Sheu Shagari to the run up of the 1983 election even after the Fulanis dealt a heavy blow on his people not too long ago then.
The Fulanis succeeded because the useful nobody called Sylvester Ugoh slaved for Bashir Tofa while his people voted against a better Abiola who won majority of the other southern votes (SS + SW).
You ibos think you are wise, Nigeria did not start in 2015 so stop all this rubbish of dragging Tinubu name everytime to buttress your half truth.
Since 1999 to present, two southern presidents used almost 14 years out of the 21 years and yet we southerners still complain of Fulani dominance everywhere like babies throwing tantrums.
If the two southern president could be foolish enough not to make things right for southerners, how is that the Fulani man’s fault? I hate it when people that always proclaim intelligence are crying and feeling inferior to the fulanis everytime.
2023 again you guys will vote a weak southerners that will still please the North at the expense of the South and the cycle continues in 2031 where our children will start screaming Fulani dominance again.
The Fulani shall “appoint” the weak president from the south in 2023. The same way the Fulani appointed Obasanjo who appointed Jonathan.
At the FEC, NASS, and NCS, the skewed political structure of 20 states in the northern region, but only 17 states in the two southern regions, makes north to largely decide what can be done in Nigeria, irrespective of where the president comes from.
Rugaria: Folks seldom noticed that Since the inception of this republic in 1999, there has always been a fulani at the presidency! In 1999, Atiku Abubakar was Obasanjos deputy for 8 solid years! He is fulani! Obasanjo later handed over to Yaradua, Who was also fulani! Nemadi Sambo who was Jonathan's deputy is fulani. Jonathan handed over to Buhari, another fulani! That means that in a country of over 300 ethnic groups, one group has been either the president or the deputy for 21 years and counting! Go to Abuja and see how they live in opulence, totally removed from the squalor their rampant maladministration creates everywhere. It even gets very stunning, when you realise that this group were not here 300 years ago! These are a very irritating strand of parasitic immigrants. In Guinea, from whence the wriggled out, they have never been president. But here in Nigeria, they straddle around like sons of thunder! Whenever it's the turn of the north, the fulani takes it, without any noise. The question is: have we replaced British colonialism with fulani gerentocracy in Nigeria!?
Fulani leads Nigeria because the Yoruba and the Igbo refused to get together. Islam is another factor. Nearly half of Yoruba share the same Islamic religious belief with the Fulani.
Again, Fulani-loyal military dictators restructured Nigeria politically to favor only Fulani-led north. The two advantages of cooperation from the Yoruba and the political structure add to Fulani’s ability to dominate Nigeria.
It’s hard to see how the situation can be changed in a democracy.
No southern presidential candidate can beat any northern presidential candidate in APC due to the skewed political structure of Nigeria.
All that PDP big wigs believe in is to use a northerner to capture presidency for their enjoyment of perquisites from power. To restructure Nigeria politically is not an expedient matter for them.
