Fayose u are a true son of ur father unlike the gworo chewing Tinibu who has kept quiet while his paymaster keep enslaving Nigerians

EarthXmetahuman:
as in ehnn


In as much as buhari has failed... I would campaign for him to win second term, if the opponent is atiku or any northerner at all.

You won't even get upto 100k this time around

aolawale025:
He has to choose a minister from all states. Am sure if not for the law the SE wouldn't get anything from him

Alariiwo:
Keep shut!

What do you know?
You're not Igbo so what are you?

Better face your tribe and think about your own safety. Nothing will ever unite the South cos we have nothing in common.
Only greed and selfishness lives across the Niger river.

2. It is time to get over navel-gazing about
"insults". Nnamdi Kanu brought more pressure to
the national question than any other person or
group since the civil war.

More reason why Igbo leaders and intellectuals should have backed him but the level at which they distanced themselves from him was cowardly. They could have brought more sanity to the struggle. It's either the man himself was a scammer or he was sold out by his own people.

zendy:
I dont know about Gani Adams but Nnamdi Kanu was not an ethnic champion and neither was he a secessionist. The Biafra cause that Kanu championed included several ethic groups such as Ibibio, Ijaw, Ogoni, Igbo, Ogoja amongst others. So which one was Kanu championing. Another thing is that Kanu cannot be called a secessionist as he did not declare a separate country. What Kanu wanted was referendum

jollymizzle:
Why are you digressing, i stated that kanu should not have tried to take the Niger delta out of nigeria. if you were the hausa/fulani wouldn't you have resisted such a move too. the Niger delta was of course of course not going to buy your 'we are brothers' campaign to swallow them up in an igbo dominated country that's why kanu failed. he didn't want to secede with igbos alone he wanted the oil. just like ZIK wanted Nigeria for the igbos to roam free and do business that he opposed a secession clause. it was basically the same plan with slightly different factors. if anyone else attempts what kanu did, that person will still fail

zendy:
Wake up from your slumber, Nnamdi Kanu and Gani Adams are different people fighting different causes in different lands, although some ignorant people like to term it as "one Nigeria"

Yorubas and Igbos are different people, they see things differently and how the approach matters are vastly different. An example is Gani Adams, there is no equivalent to 'Aare Ona kakanfo' in Igbo land and the closest anyone has got to even having such a title was the 'Eze Igbo gburu gburu' held by Ojukwu.

jollymizzle:
what facts, you stated what was clearly your opinion. with all the firsts recorded in the southwest through the leadership of PA AWOLOWO you still had to claim the se was the most developed region. why exactly should I argue with your sentiments?

jollymizzle:
You can belive whatever you want. have you asked why ZIK didn't want the secession clause? you said the eastern region was the fastest growing and you wanted to share your resources with the rest of us abi. well we saw through it. so what changed? and don't use the Civil War as an excuse. why do people still keep running away from the south east. if you talk about Infrastructure, I'm sure kanu had the opportunity to help change that but his eyes never wavered from total ownership of the oil.greed and arrogance are two deadly combinations

nku5:
100% false oga. You are speaking from a point of bias and lack of information

1. There are indigenous Igbos in the Niger Delta as there are yorubas in the North Central or Hausas in Cameroon, Niger and Chad etc

2. There are oilfields in Igboland and when I say Igboland I mean SE in this context not even Igboland in the Niger Delta. Anambra has an estimated $5 billion worth of untapped liquified natural gas

3. Read more history and less propaganda. Igbos have never needed to dominate anybody. It was never in our culture before the white man joined us to hausas and yorubas and called us Nigerians. Incidentally it is the yorubas and hausas that have a history of always trying to subjugate others. If you want facts I can give you. In the 1st Republic of the 1960s the Eastern region was the fastest growing region in the country with booming infrastructure, plenty of army officers, etc We were already dominating so why would we need to subjugate anybody.

willibounce1:
Maybe you should show us the corpse of your iPod family members that OPC killed.

jollymizzle:
of course the rest of us didn't like him,what was he fighting for? a biafra that sought to seceed with the Niger delta. the nations source of wealth. no need sugar coating it, oil is the unifying factor in nigeria. kanus. maps were not only so outrageous, it was a declaration of war. the Igbos wanted to seceed with Niger delta and be the sole benefactor of the oil.the maps also included buffer states like benue to shield them from the Northerners. everything all worked out, but arrogant in that you thought we were blind to it and would just allow it because you could insult us. just like they attempted in the sixties to control the economy, much so that your father Nnamdi Azikiwe opposed the insertion clause in the constitution which would ironically have given the igbos the legal backing to seceded sixty years later. you igbos need to stop trying to conquer the rest of us. you would only get defeated and subjugated further.igbos should rather fight for their rights and not try to dominate others.

NonsoWow:
APC will certainly take Ebonyi the way I see it. Those people are not real and complete Igbos.

jollymizzle:
we are over his(kanu's insults) but that wasn't my point.im saying it was because of those insults that many of your youths followed him, you still have to learn to be diplomatic. The fact is the Northerners seem more reasonable than igbos even if there are ruthless and pretty much dangerous. igbos need to stop being rigid and listen.the only time NK had an iota of reason was when he got bail and was seemingly concerned about the plight of some hausa inmates he met imprisoned without trial. imagine if he had continued on that path. he would have gained followers from all over nigeria and be powerful enough to actually make a difference. he went back to his nonsense and the rest is history
