Na this kind news we dey like to hear. Less politics more substance

What! See Osha o! I have been away too long. E no go pass ths xmas walahi

Dayum! This is a savage free for all fight

This is old news

I think so. Reno omokri is a lawyer, beaf is a scientst or somethng

Gboliwe: Going with some of the comments here, its safe to conclude that Beaf is not equal to Reno Omokri like you postulate

Such filth that could get u arrested abroad. Na God save u say na naija you dey post xenophobic trash

seanet01: Ibos do you hear wetin Fash don said? If this law is not something you feel comfortable about please go back to your gully erosion ravaged biafra. There is no room for nonsense in Lagos. Am i clear?

ilugunboy: If the comments of most Igbo posters on Nairaland is any measure and gauge of the feeling and outlook of the average Igbo person...then I say it emphatically that Political power at the center in the hands of an Igbo man is dangerous...he will either use it to achieve one or both of two things:

1. Correct perceived injustice arising from the Civil war.

2. Dismember Nigeria as we know it today.

Both of these can lead to serious blood letting.

What does the article have to do with your post? That's what I call confidently ignorant

Toyota Bus Stop! Even if dem no tell me I dread that place. One late night I had a flat tyre close to that place I drove on the rim until I got to a less creepy spot

What annoys me the most is that the leader of these BZM guys lives in the UK with a UK passport

Its not really a south east thing per say. For me its more of an awada onitsha phenomenon

I thought FFK had stopped getting high

We are not even 10% ready for biafra because we don't have the leadership. If we were to get our a separate country today, the heavy hitters would be men like t.a. Orji and andy uba. My answer to the question raised by the op is no

That's not a very helpful clue since it was eons ago. Wrong section mind you. Try the music section

ogugua88: If you're so perfect and free of sins, then cast the first stone, Angel Gabriel. I am spiritual but no longer a Christian because man has turned religion into a hypocrisy, a business, and means of propaganda for their own beliefs and agenda. Many people say one thing and live their lives another way. There's a difference between tolerance and believing something is right/wrong. I tolerate and judge no one. I'm guessing you're a Christian. Continue to judge.

I didn't choose to be Nigerian, and I can tell you that most homosexuals did not choose to be born that way. If you think people would choose to be homosexual, knowing fully well that a majority of society will not tolerate or accept them, then you are lost.

Do you know what else are "perfectly healthy and natural instincts"? Stealing. Lying. Revenge/retaliation/aggression. Because they're natural doesn't make it right. If they were right, then there would be no need for some of the commandments, nor would our parents discipline children when they display such behaviors.

Start wherever you please.

Madam spare me the epistle. Yes I am a xtian and no I never claimed to be 'holier than thou'. Infact I acknowledge that I have limitations and its only Jesus that can redeem me. The difference is I know I need help to be like Jesus. Nobody is born gay , the same way nobody is born to sleep with animals or little kids for crying out loud. Human beings due to experiences or environment get drawn to vices and its a struggle to overcome them. I can't stand this cop-out mentality of "born this way". Do you know a gospel singer called Donnie Mcclurkin? Do u know he was abused and raped as a child by a male relatiive and struggled with homosexuality?

So u used to be a xtian but left your faith because some xtians are hypocrites So in the same vein, I work in a financial institution, many ppl in the sector are corrupt does that mean I should leave the sector altogether? No! The most important thing is your relationship with your God not what other ppl are doing. As far as I'm concerned faith is a very personal thing and homosexuality is a crime in nigeria, I thank God that its still a crime.maybe very soon in america or wherever sleeping with animals will be legalised. Na una sabi

His brothers will never agree but all his brothers on this thread agree with him. Bigotry is a sickness bros. Try and cure yourself

geeez: @OP, your brothers will never agree with you because they are largely illusioned here on NL

If you look at the rate of development of the regions since 1999, you will discover that democracy has brought faster development in the SW and SS while the SE, NE and NW have been largely crawling

No I don't see despots as a normal thing but I'd rather live in a country ruled by a despot than in a country where homos roam free and have rights. I hate it when ppl try and equate racism with homophobia (a perfectly healthy and natural instinct in my opinion). Are u a xtian by the way? So I can know where to start with you

ogugua88: Rather than tackle rogue African leaders, you see it as a normal thing and have decided to accuse Obama of being an anti-Christ. Where is the logic? Something tells me you get your info from BB broadcasts.

Whether you agree with their personal lifestyle or not, they are just as human as anyone else and deserve their rights. It's gross how Africans/African-Americans, the last people to be thought of subhuman, open their mouths to speak of denying homosexuals their rights when they or their ancestors suffered under the Jim Crowe system, the Black Codes, and/or slavery.

Bros you dey on point

Zeus I: Obama is prelude to antichrist - just setting the stage.

Is that supposed to be funny or a serious question. Clarify pls

bittyend: Bro bro, are Igbos Jews or Gypsies?

I need an answer.

You dey mind ppl wey no dey comot their village? I met a man in his forties in jos , a northerner who could speak igbo because he grew up in onitsha

pazienza: Shut up, stop opening your foul mouth anyhow. Those hausa people in lokpanta have been in okigwe for ages before they were relocated to lokpanta,nobody is hostile to them,rather we expect them to help in developing that part of Abia state, stop spreading your falsehood about igbos being hostile to settlers. An average igboman is too busy trying to make money,he doesn't care about who is a settler or who is not,all he cares about is business opportunities.

You don't know jack shyte about igbo people oga. Except for the bigoted statements you overhear and swallow because it makes you feel good. There are plenty of yorubas that have living peacefully in my VILLAGE for decades. They even throw big parties every year.

Do you peopl really believe the cyanide that comes out of u? where did you hear that IGBOS came out in one voice to blackmail Fashola politically. I remember one or two opportunists igbos trying to make small names for themselves but how does that translate to a general agenda.

damoobaba: Bro,its even worse with Igbo people,you hardly hear of other tribes settling down i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̅ their region because they are not accomodating at all,very hostile.even when they settle among other tribes,they want to claim ownership of the area after some time,yet when the same treatment íڪ metted on them somewhere else else,they come out to cry wolf.Ethnic bigots.imagine igbos telling Fashola before 2011 elections that they wouldn't vote him unless he makes an agreement with them that he will have more Igbos i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̅ his cabinet if he gets elected.Lagos na their village?

The Return of the Chameleon IV. Lol. Bros how many times will u rehash this story about a yoruba man trying to buy land or rent land in the east and gettng turned. Bros u no dey tire for evil? I came across a thread about a year or two old where u claimed u went to nnewi to buy land and the land owner refused to sell to yu because you were a hausa man. Then you were still claiming to be a northerner on nairaland till u got busted. Its obvious your ultimate aim is to taint neutral yorubas with your xenophobic poison. Just be sure that what comes around goes around. You are talking about how igbos buyin land legally in their own country are aliens forgetting that many yorubas own plenty of land in london. In peckham yoruba is like the lingua franca yet if BNP shake body small una go dey scream racism. No worry God no dey sleep

alj harem: Ok YES IT IS TRUE and I am aware if it. The question is would you be allowed to buy Land at the first place. NO

If you have been following me, you would observe I have not been on Nairaland for sometime. Reason being a family friend of mine went to Onitsha (The largest market in Africa) and saw a vacancy advert for a shop to rent. Do you know that as soon as he got there they told him that they have just rented the shop out, removed the vacacy advert and when my family friend left he placed it back there.

Now that is evil, tribalistic and very disheartening. This man is an Indigene of Lagos state and has bini ancestry. He told me that he has never felt so bad before in his life. Unlike Port harcourt and other South-south states that are still welcoming.

No bruv there have always beenn despots and corrupt african leaders. The anti-christ as described will be cheered into office after such ppl have lad waste to most of our wealth and resources.

I'm not looking for imaginary enemies dude because I know the signs to look out for. even the moost mindless atheist knows the world is at a very interesting juncture. You can deny it all u want but u know we are n the end times.

Obama has given homos all the momentum they need to seek for "human rights" the world over among other disturbng policies of his. He isn't the anti christ but he's laying the bed for the beast to come screw humanity

eGuerrilla: I thought the anti-christ arrived in the mould of leech-like, thieving political leaders foisted on Nigeria long ago, no?

Keep on deluding yourself by searching for imaginary enemies, at a time when your open sore invites much ridicule.

Excellent question nna. In my opinion we do not have leadership in igboland. Yes our people are resourceful, yes we are blessed, yes we are endowed with inflential sons and daughters. At the end of the day we don't have leadership that has the interest of the generalty of ts people at heart.

illitrate: Before the tribal ruffians will come for my crucifiction let me make this clear. I am
From Nsukka in enugu state.

We have always thought that breaking away from Nigeria will automatically solve all our
problems as igbos, and bigger political offices can make things better.

My question is this, We have states that belong to the igbos. These states are governed
ruled and developed my igbos. Our igbo brothers are the governors, house members, senators
what change or desire for change have they shown?

Thesame rapacious politicians will come into power even if we disintegrate from Nigeria and things
will remain thesame. Should'nt we all be talking of a big political revolution instead of disintegration?

Fani Kayode is right. Anybody who has an eye on current world events and the nonsense obama is doing will know obama is laying a nice foundation for the anti-christ described in the book of revelation.

A word is enough for the wise. Only those who are not wise need to get it knocked into their heads first

Ba wahala

Usama binYamiri: What are ramifications of Igbo owning 70% Abuja and 50% Lagos?
I read somewhere that the Igbo own 70% of Abuja. Well, you can rest assured that they DO NOT own that much of a stake.
I went to FCT geographic information service website AGIS website to see allocation of land in Abuja, these are C of O's issued and not claimed
And to my surprise the percentages are rougly equal Igbo 20%, Yoruba 20% Hausa 20%, South-South 20%, and Foreign missions and Businesses 20%
FCT is truly the land of Unity.

God bless Abuja
God bless Nigeria!

The man is a deep igbo hater and accomplished chameleon. His most fervent prayer is for there to be violence against igbos in yorubaland so igbos can leave their investments behind

hardbody: With your mentality, Nigeria is doomed. So after building my house in Lag and developing businesses that financially empower Lagosians, it is still a leased property? I knew u were dull, but I underestimated the depression you were operating from

To call a spade a spade he was a jewel among the many demons who were northern officers. What most people don't know is that Major General Shuwa is the one who made it possible for nigeria to defeat biafra in just 3 years. After he captured Enugu he allowed biafrans who were tired of the war to move into the area under his command unharmed and unmolested.

Many ppl separated from their loved ones and heard that they were living well under Shuwa trooped across enemy lines in droves and sufficiently weakened morale of many in biafra.

As I've heard from close relatives in that sector during the war, he charged his men not to attack igbos by saying the famous. "Shoot them and I shoot you" phrase.

Most oustanding was the fact that it was Shuwa who with his service pistol, shot the soldier who blinded and killed nzeogwu. I've heard this story from a number of relatives who were in that sector. The soldier who killed nzeogwu reported himself to shuwa and got a bullet in the neck.

Shuwa was a noble man. Chikena

All these diaspora ppl and their funny plans sef. He was just asking for it

Ogbonaikenna: Benjamin Onwuka is a british citizen. I expect the UK embassy to contact the nigeria goverment immediately

On point. It symbolised his "ofo"

Slizbeat: His swagger stick has no power of such, its just a symbol of authority. Aguiyi is more of a title just like Ogbuefi, Idiebuteaku, Ogbuokiri, Agu, Ikenga e.t.c

For oduduwa nation or one nigeria.

Negro_Ntns: I wanna be Lagos governor for just one month.......just one month babe!

Ekene dili chuckwu go make more profit that one month....... shuttling full load out and returning empty for more load......than they have made the past five christmas.

I no joke Repatriation of the baboon nation under my watch.

Ooh wee! I think he just called fashola a chump. Off to read the rest of the story

Yes it was his swagger stick

Agiliti: wow....such ignorant posts especially about a former head of state

agu = lion/beast,
iyi = water/river
so aguiyi means beast of the water...or crocodile

Johnson was his sister's husbands last name and that's the name he took as his first name : Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi

the dead lizard you people are talking about is most likely his swagger stick that was carved to look like a crocodile (his name)
