Fool, SS people do not need any other people's validation to know who they are.

Besides, your problem is not ours .

Fight for your useless Biafra without dragging us into it.

God knows that the day a unified SS front emerges and decides to leave Nigeria ,it will be you heebo parasites that will be at the forefront fighting alongside the Fulani to stop us from leaving

If you don't know that there are Igbos in the South-South then you must not really be from the South-South. Go and study your country's geography before typing nonsense.

AuschwitzPrefec:


Land Thief .


Oyigbo message is still there for you.

Can you tell the difference between an Oyigbo man and an Ngwa man?

Answer as honestly as possible please.

NtoAkwaIbom:


This narrative does not sell again... Nigerians all know the difference

Tell that to the ones branding Hilda Baci an Igbo girl or the ones who claimed Diezani was Igbo or the countless other examples.

Like I said, I pity you people because when the time comes, those people will show you their true colours and you will not be able to hide behind Igbo people.

HeeBraHim2:


Make them carry their 5 state and leave abeg.

We will take all of our people, including those in Delta and Rivers states and will not concede even an inch to the contraption that is called Nigeria.

NtoAkwaIbom:
All Nigerians should come together and Expell them, they have no love for this nation, no plan to build it .. only destruction dey their hate filled mind

Do you think that if you shout it loud enough, these people will stop regarding you as Igbo?

When will you people finally realise the average Yoruba or Northerner cannot tell the difference between an Igbo man and a Kalabari man?

Heck, Yoruba people were even persecuting other Yorubas because they 'looked' Igbo and you think that you'll be free.

I truly pity you people because you really have no idea what Nigeria has installed for you once you stop being useful.

raskymonojendor:
The Ibo way of life. Insult everyone else, then act the victim when tables are turned.

I remember watching the video below and the Ibo congregation cheered when the Ibo pastor declared that 1 Ibo man was equal to 500 Hausa men.

Who is more responsible for those children's suffering? The Igbo guy mocking them or people like you who voted in an incompetent and criminal government?

If he believes that he truly won the election then wouldn't he want Obi to compete in the re-run? Obi supposedly took votes that Atiku would have received, which enabled Tinubu to win.

If he really said this then it is an admission that Obi was the real winner of the presidential election.

sreamsense:
By now, obi will still be doing trial and error governance, and then tell us to go and verify. By now, we would have "marked words" tirelessly without fulfilling any.

You people can keep waiting for Obi to give you the answers till kingdom come but the fact of the matter is that you and those like you have claimed that Tinubu is the best Nigeria has to offer so why do you even care what Obi would have done?

Isn't he supposed to be inferior to Tinubu (according to you and your likes)?

IconicR:
You didn't answer my question. I said what would Obi have done differently within this short period. Obi was all over the place shouting fuel subsidy removal and you all hailed him, same Obi was telling Nigerians that he'll do them well well like an ashawo patronizing her customers. So answer me, what miracles would Obi have performed within this short period? Nobody is happy with the situation of the country but there's no miracle that can be done overnight, drastic decisions has to be taken and they come with harsh conditions and mind you increament of minimum wage is being discussed and will take effect soon

You said that you'll not be responding to anyone’s comments so why should they bother responding to yours?

Isn't Emefiele from the South-South? I thought South-South people don't want Biafra...

seeme2:
Evebthough I mock Igbo people to no end and oppose them politically I served in the East too and I know one thing: most of them are kind to strangers. Believe it or not they have special love for Yoruba.

The Igbo man's weakness is his mouth. It's a genetic and cultural thing. Mouth mouth mouth. They will do no harm physically but say things that will make you hate them. Ironsi wasn't killed or Igbos massacared until Nzeogwu granted an interview in which he detailed how he killed Sarduna Sokoto. If only these people are diplomatic and know how and when to talk they'd have been very successful. Today, they maintain they are successful and I wonder how. You can't be more successful than how your govt wants you to be. With only one law, govt can end your success and it won't take a week.

Just look at this nonsense here. You admit that Igbos are kind to strangers and especially kind to your people yet actively oppose them politically.

If any Igbo man/woman needs confirmation that Nigerians hate them, please read this post here.


Btw, of course, it's possible to be successful even if your government doesn't want you to be. This kind of mentality is why Nigeria is not progressing as a country.

Isn't it strange that the two states where APC are ruling in the South-East are the only ones to have been hit by these so-called sit-at-home enforcers?

Ajagunakin:


Go research their atrocities, it is well documented.

I refuse to school you for free this time.

This is the type of comment someone who does not know what they're talking about makes.

You cannot provide proof because there is none.

List of things IPOB have actually done:

1) Organise peaceful protests (before being slaughtered by the Nigerian military/police)
2) Organise sit-at-home protests in the South-East (since being out and about is obviously a prerequisite to being murdered in Nigeria).
3) Create Eastern Security Network in order to combat the Fulani herdsmen terror in the South East (which they've been doing rather successfully)

None of these are 'terrorist' actions. Not in a Banana Republic like Nigeria.

Ajagunakin:


Nothing.

It’s a terrorist organisation that must be dealt with.

What have IPOB done to merit this 'terrorist' label?

BabaRamota1980:
If ipob dont like it, do what bokoharam does, jail break and free Kanu.

I really don't know why some Yoruba people make comments like this. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB have nothing to do with you people.

I honestly don't understand it .

omenka:
Has Forsyth any idea the things Kanu had done and the things people have done on Kanu's orders?

Sir Frederick, here are just some tidbits:



For far less incendiary remarks, people have been jailed in your UK sir. You should know better than delving into matters of this nature.

That said, it is quite interesting seeing Obidients have made a complete 180⁰ back to supporting IPOB, the same group they accused the Nigerian government of sponsoring to sabotage Peter Obi's chances at the polls. Ipob sentiments was reduced to near nothing in the run up to the general elections, but today, their supporters, masquerading as Obidients, are back where they came from.

Some of us saw all this coming a thousand miles away.

What scares you so much about IPOB? (Serious question)

MTNnews:
Lame na Igbo go tell us if we can not differentiate btw Igbos n Calabar ?

You must think we move around with foolish head like that of Kanu ?

How many Calabar complain their fathers n mothers were being flogged like slaves the way you Igbos did ?

The funny thing about you Igbo is the assumption you have of anyone being afraid of you in the West, soon enough you will understand 2015 or 2023 didn't expose anything but what Yorubas want you to know which is your fathers n mothers can be flogged mercilessly at the will of the Yorubas.

When the North decided to kill Igbos during the pogroms of 1945, 1953 and 1966, were South-South people spared?

When the South-Westerners in Lagos decided to steal Igbo people's properties, were South-South people spared?

When APC supporters attacked Igbo voters in Lagos, were South-South people spared?

We all know you people talk out of both sides of your mouth because on one hand, you claim that there are no Igbos in the South-South but on the other hand, you label the coup headed by Chukwuma Nzeogwu, 'an Igbo coup.

Ofunaofu:


If you claim that the SW was instrumental to his ascent to power in 2011 what happened to the south west continuing with that support in 2015

Not only did they cause his defeat, they also insulted him and his wife.

If Obidients insult Tinubu, they'll say that Igbos are rude and have no home training.

The South-East governor's caucus actually came out at the 11th hour to say that would support Akpabio yet some are saying that Igbos hate South-South people.

Look at the voting patterns since Nigeria became a democracy and you will see who is for who and who is against who.

MTNnews:
You comment seems reason so worthy of a worthy resply.

If Yoruba are even for spelling it to your Igbo face that you igbos vote Yari a Northerners instead of Akpabio a Southerner n a christian what is wrong in that

Did you Igbos have short memories ? Did you not accuse Yorubas n chastise them for vite Buhari instead of Ebele ?

Did Yorubas declared Igbo as evil back then when you pointed it out ? If that is the case why are you in particular an Igbo along with many of your likes with similar now wailing like clowns now that Yoruba are calling you out for voting Yari instead of Akpabio ?

Do igbos own monopoly to Northerners while Yorubas can or you are simply mad n foolish with your silly senseless n pathetic reasoning ?

Keep fostering enmity between Igbos and other tribes in Southern Nigeria. At the end of the day, just like with the elections of 2015, you will expose yourselves again.

I just pity any one who falls for this propaganda as the average Yoruba man cannot tell the difference between Calabar and Igbo, Isoko and Igbo etc.

mdimefields:

Stale lines. You have been in power for the past 50 years, so what stops you from reorganizing the units back to it status quo?
You have been in the corridor of power since 1999 what stopped you from reverting back to regionalism?
You guys are hypocrites that keep repeating one line since time.
Now that Tinubu is president, pressure him into dividing the country to it former component units so everybody go rest.

That Aguiyi-Ironsi is cause of the unitary system in Nigeria is the biggest lie in Nigeria's history.

The way to debunk huge lies like this is through logic.

If Aguiyi-Ironsi was the brains behind the unitary system then why did Gowon and co not revert back to regionalism after murdering him and taking charge less than two months after the plan was supposedly implemented?

People should remember that this happened nearly a year before the war started so I don't want to see anyone using that as an excuse.

Anti-igbo hatred is commonplace on Nairaland and Nigeria as a whole. To be honest, I think it’s the only thing that's keeping the country together.

rippa:

I see nowhere he was dragged apart from one or 2 people that decided to be unfortunate which is expected in every society
The people that insulted him could have been any OBIdient or Atiku supporter from any tribe.
Let's not assume anyone against Tinubu is an OBIdient or an igbo person
I know how many times I have been targeted and called igbo here simply because i support Obi and its really not nice

I hope you can see his tactics plain and simple. They want everyone to hate Igbos but then claim that we are the ones that hate them.

Look at this guy trying to foster hatred between Igbos and other tribes. Did that guy even mention Igbo in his original post? Why can't you people ever let us rest for once?

Musrataman:


Igbo don't have anything to survive with in their region, the land is cursed due to numerous evils carry-out from 90% of them through ritualist and human sacrifice.

Their eyes is on other tribes region,cos they knew exactly what is happening in Igbo land.

Igboland has coal, natural gas and oil. We also have the most important resource, human resources. We are blessed because due to Nigeria's obsession with underdeveloping our land, a lot of these resources haven't really been tapped into.

Should we leave, you'll know what I'm talking about.

tuzle:
I am often called Igbo too by Yorubas any time I tell them I am from delta state even my mum's(she is Yoruba from ogun state) family use to call me Igbo but I do correct them sha. Most Yoruba sees south south and southeast as igbos and I don't think it is the igbos that do that because they can differentiate. I also think the lady is chasing clout because I don't think any Igbo can force their tribe on anyone. Their are bad eggs in every tribe but one thing I have noticed is that some tribes just dislike themselves so therefore they term everyone from that side same way. I have seen good igbo's and also bad ones same way I have also seen goo Yorubas and bad ones too. But I know most of us don't reason to deeply but if u think deeply won't u see a pattern in things. Today Igbo this, tomorrow Igbo that. I am not saying igbos are perfect o but can't u see their is pattern here. It is like people deliberately try to soil the Igbo tribe. Some here will claim igbos are boastful, that they are hate filled but I have seen more of other tribe attacking the igbos than the igbos have actual done and I can understand why they are outspoken because it seems they are being bullied.

Thank you for being honest here. Everyone and their dog knows that most South-Westerners and Northerners cannot tell the difference between an Ibibio and an Igbo person. You have seen this in the numerous pogroms in the North; you have seen this in the recent Lagos Governorship elections but still many don't want to learn.

The only thing I'm happy about is the Igbos in the South-South regions know themselves. We know them and they know us and we will never leave our brothers behind.

The non-Igbos (including Ikwerre) can go and form their own country or stay in Nigeria if they like. It's not our business.

ahaz:

The worst is this people that christened themselves south south are just funny in their dealings..They made them have unnecessary disdain for their neighbours while the real problem to them is out there laughing at them..They hate Igbos but find it very difficult and out of cowardice fail to ask why is Onne, Calabar, Warri and Salele ports not functioning to capacity..Why is it difficult to dredge the channel for heavy vesse to bath?..Who is diverting the traffic meant for Major vessels importers choosed as location via Onne and said it must be Lagos.
Ok, despite the Conjestion in the Apapa ports, they still held the Nation hostage instead of diverting traffic to other ports because they wase plans to developed Lekki port..Now Lekki has been completed and obviously it will be the next preferable port which means one thing, Urbanization will shift towards Ogun state by virtue of the Epe express to that state, Lagos is filled up and now Ogun is next in line with serious Urban development and when they are through with Ogun they move to Oyo and the entire south west region and the will still come and ask you to leave their state.

Now the so called South south are not concerned but are fixated at hating the Igbo, calling the Igbos names while the west and the north pop champaign in ecstasy and giving kudos as they cash out..if they manage to ask some questions they will just hand pick some elements amongst them give them political appointments and point to them say we gave your son this appointment and that one will go home call some few chiefs and some Miltants settle them and the rest will shot up, the poor can go to hell, ..Yet you will still see them come here and aay all manner of things against Igbos..Funny people.

Go to kirikiri in Lagos, you will see jetties there designed for local fishing companies, now tell me, how many of such jetties are in the South south as encouraged by the Federal government in any of its economic allieviation programmes to assist the Ijaws that are excellent fisher men to own those boats and jettis to generate employmentnt for many of thejr Youths for modern fishing practise, for where, you no go see am...They wont ask questions, na Igbo be their problem, but na one day they wil realize all their mistakes i only pray its not late.

Honestly, Igbo people should just leave these people alone. Yoruba and Hausa people have shown them countless times that they see no difference between them and Igbo people yet they don't want to listen. We need to take our people (those who are proud to call themselves Igbo) and form our own country.

Leave them to be minorities (in terms of tribe and religion) in Nigeria.

anyilalaz:


More often than not, they Igboness only come to bear when it does not favour them. Same as other Nigerians calling them Igbo when a crime is committed but Niger delta when oil money is involved.

Exactly. The OP is only trying to highlight their two-facedness when it comes to Igbo communities located outside of the South-East. They are saying that Emefiele is not Igbo in order to get more Igbos to attack him, furthering the divide between us and the Ika community.

If we put forth an Igbo son or daughter to replace him as CBN governor, you will see every single one of them come out to claim "Igbo domination of CBN" and that Emefiele is Igbo. We know them and we know their tactics.

Odibembem:


Ika is not Igbo, both languages only have linguistic similarities. Same way a Scotsman or Irishman is not English though they all speak the English language. Language does not conote tribe or ethnicity otherwise everyone in the north would had been Hausa cos they all speak Hausa language

But Igbo is an indigenous language to the Ika people. Whereas, English is not for the Scots and Irish. Or are you claiming that the Igbo colonised Ika people?

Akungitit:
There is no tribe in Delta state known as "Igbo"
Do your research again,you failed woefully this time.

So, you agree that the first 1966 coup should not be called an "Igbo coup"?

ArewaQuitessenc:


I don't care what Emefiele chooses to identify as, the point here is that vast majority of his Ika people have categorically made it clear they don't want to be classified ad Igbos, same way the Ikwerres did, identify with the Anioma people like Prof Okonjo Iweala that proudly flaunt their Igboness. The problem with you is that you're so myopic and narrow-minded, IPOB mentality has really damaged your sense of emotional intelligence.

Emefiele is an Ika man and that is that, stop forcing your self into a conversation that Ika people can handle themselves, Igbos are not the ONLY ethnic group in Nigeria. Face your front and mind your business, Ika people will fight for their son.

Are you Ika?

gidgiddy:


Godwin Ifeanyi Emefiele is an Ika man? Even Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, another Ika man, told you he is Igbo. Many people in Abia are Ngwa people, many people in Imo in Enugu are Nkanu people, many people in Imo are Oru people, so whats this about Emefiele being Ika? Do you know the meaning of "Emefiele"?

They have started to use their "divide and conquer" strategy again. We know how it is; should an Igbo person try and defend him, they will say "he's not Igbo, he's Ika" in order to discourage him.

However the second an Igbo person suggests that an Igbo man/woman should be the next CBN governor, they will then say that Emefiele is an Igbo man.

I just hope Ika people are watching. These people are doing a tremendous job at exposing themselves .

Honlucas:


It doesn't matter

Why do you think that?
