BabaRamota1980:
This was written by Oche Joseph, an Iboman commenting on the fallout of Kaduna Declaration. Compare how submissive he is when talking about North being the benefactor of Ibo in North, to how arrogant they are in denying that Yoruba benevolence is at the root of their success in Yorubaland.

This stark position of submission to North but arrogance to West is simply attributed to violent treatment.....the only therapy needed to tame Ibo.

Oche is a Benue man from the north. Leave your village and learn few things about the world you no gree

MAYOWAAK:
MKO Abiola, a Southerner of immense repute lost Nigeria's freest and fairest election of June 12 1993 in 3 major South East states;
-Abia
-Enugu
-Imo

Whereas he won in major Northern states like; Borno, Jigawa, Kaduna, Yobe and even in Kano, (Tofa's home state) He also won Kwara, Plateau, Taraba states, and the FCT
-

PHILANTHROPIST:

MKO sent over 2,500 Nigerians to university regardless of tribe and religion.

He contributed immensely to many educational charities that sent thousands of pupils to primary and secondary school.

Mko Abiola constructed
-63 secondary schools
-121 mosques and churches
-41 libraries
-21 water projects
All over Nigeria
-
MKO's generosity and large heart earned him the nickname "Father Christmas" among Nigerians

His philanthropic gestures earned him more than 197 traditional chieftancy titles from 68 different communities in Nigeria
-
Someone once wrote, ‘It is only a man like MKO that can just call you from the blues or meet you by chance on a first date and there or then settle all your educational/business needs’

MKO was twice voted international businessman of the year, winning against American and European business moguls.

MKO would have made Nigeria the envy of Africa and indeed the world. The man unfortunately offended the British when he said he would demand reparations for slavery and they never forgave him.

The severe polarisation of this country and imminent division all stems from the annulment of the June 12 elections. IBB and co effectively killed Nigeria in 1993. There would have been no OPC no IPOB no militants. The man wasnt perfect but he was a true Nigerian. The man campaigned all over Nigeria and won all over Nigeria.

The Abiola Hostel in my alma mater faraway in the east is testament to the man's orientation.

I will never forget MKO Abiola and what might have been

Joe Igbokwe is the king of idiots. The buffoon could not resist insulting his people even in a solemn topic like June 12. Disgusting self loathing animal

Fashola is a Gba tu eyo! Learner!! Tinubu is not there to hold his hand so he is failing

JazzMode:
Recipe for anarchy. Sane will let him have his day in court, he is already caught and under govt control.

That bastard is highly connected, very jazzed up and very rich. Best thing is take him to his village where he has been displaying wealth for years and hang him in public, televise it for people to see before he bribes somebody with 20 million and escapes abroad.

I say kill him fast NOTHING go happen

wirinet:
The problem i have with you guys is that you guys are too emotional. Instead of making your demands clear and unambiguous and use diplomatic, political and other legal means to air your grievances and how to achieve your demands, you guys resort to complaining, insults and sometimes outright threats. The south east have 5 governors, 15 Senators and 60 House of rep members, have you guys made your grievances known to them? Have you made official complaints to both the Federal and State Governments on the so called siege on the south east? Have you guys held protest complaining of the excess military and police presence in the South East?

You guys always accuse others of hating on you guys, but it is you guys that throws the most insults on social media, it is you guys that involve other people who are not interested in your agitations. You guys call minority tribes in the Nigerdelta slaves, you insult Bini people, you call Yorubas all sorts of names, you call Northerners cows, and all sorts of unprintable names, and you are here talking about others hating.

So which part of Igbo land is Mike Ozhekome from? Ozhekome is even saying that Igbos dont speak up enough. Did you even read the article at all

Hang him. No need for trial

princdebola201:
arewa there is lot of deliverance to do, some ipob Biafra madness like this one have not being cured

Slave always calling his master to help fight Igbos. Shameless...

The success of the sit-at-home order in the South East has really driven these people mad

new2020:
This is the problem with you people...you run your mouth like a chicken on diarrhea. It's is a common place that if Ojukwu wanted to invade SW if would have done within 12 hrs...capture the whole of SW. That wasn't his goal.

That one is most likely a 13 year old using his mummy's phone to type what he overheard somewhere

Afonjas (not real yorubas like Fayose) love it when Igbos have problems with other tribes. So much hatred and bitterness towards us. Their behaviour towardd the IPOB agitation and their celebrations since northern miscreants told Igbos to leave the north don finally open their nyash

See a parable I saw on somebody's facebook wall

THE PARABLE OF NIGERIA
Three friends, one an Igbo man, the other an
Hausa man and the third a Yoruba man, were
walking down a road.
They were very hungry and they were looking for
something to eat.
Lo and behold, there is this coconut tree that had
only one coconut tree on it.
The Yoruba man said that someone should climb
up the tree to pluck the coconut fruit. He said
that someone should do it, and do it fast . He
was just boasting about what a good climber he
is. Instead of climbing the tree to get the fruit, he
kept boasting and boasting.

The Hausa man said that they should not try to
climb the tree, and that they should just wait
under the tree for the coconut to fall, and that the
coconut will fall whenever Allah wants it to fall,
and that whatever that happens, happens when
Allah wants it to happen.

As he was talking, the Igbo man quickly climbed
up the tree and plucked the coconut fruit.
As soon as the fruit fell on the floor , the Hausa
man held the fruit in his armpit and said 'I said
it, I said it, the coconut fruit will fall down when
Allah wants it to fall down'.

The Igbo man held the Hausa man and was
dragging the babariga of the Hausa man to make
him release the coconut head, but the Hausa man
slapped the Igbo man and the two of them
started fighting.

As the Hausa man and the Igbo man were
fighting, the Yoruba man carefully broke open the
coconut, and started eating it.

By the time the Hausa man and the Igbo man
have stopped fighting, the coconut was gone,
completely eaten by the Yoruba man.

Now this is getting interesting. SOKAPU no be small group o.

My belle o. These twits no go kill person with.laugh. Nigeria

What has changed is that there at least 350,000,000 illegal firearms in Nigeria. Let that number sink in Three Hundred and Fifty Million pump action rifles, pistols, ak-47s etc.

War now would be a very different matter because EVERYBODY is armed to the teeth. Abi people think that its ghosts that are importing all the guns that customs manage to seize sometimes

Anybody still drunk on 1967 would be in for a shock

OP- Abuja na we capital city so far there is still a Nigeria. It is geographically north but politically central.

Ka ji ko?

jumper524:
Am a gbagyi boy from f.c.t and am a full blooded northernern, any move to vacate the igbos flat heads is welcomed. Biafra they want nd biafra they shall get.

Which part of FCT? If you are gbagyi then I am a Lagosian from Ikoyi joker

I read Omaka's paper. From what I see the worst "atrocities" committed by Biafran troops were forced relocation of communities that were sympathetic to the Federal forces advancing on those places. In that war ANYBODY deemed a saboteur was victimised. Little research will show that Igbos were the main victims of this. Any attempt to make it seem as if Igbos victimised minorities based on their tribe is a failed effort.

However look at this picture to get an idea of what the Federal forces did to Calabar people and compare.

Desyner:
To me the idea is absolutely cool. In addition IGR should be tied to loan limits and state leaders' pay. With the current system it isn't a matter of who is ahead but who is happy to parasitic.

IGR is a characteristic of a viable state no doubt. Lagos is viable enough to be a country because of inherited infrastructure...

Its like singling out one child from 36 kids, pumping him with steroids and extra food and when he gets really big and strong you declare that he's special and should get more perks than the other kids because he's strongest. What everybody should be looking for now is fiscal federalism, Federal quota and all that is dead weight.

slimfit1:
Oil has nothing to do with Lagos get it

The IGR revolution in Lagos is barely more than 10 or 12 years old. Before then the key infrastructure that makes Lagos tick like Third Mainland bridge etc were built with Oil money by the FG.

The legacy of oil money is there for all to see

Its after enjoying FG presence in Lagos and gaining from oil money infrastructure like Third Mainland Bridge and the Ports you now want to make noise about IGR.

No be only IGR

See small pikin sense

See wahala o. Osinbajo has chosen people that he can work with and he is used to just like Buhari did. No controversy there

SuperS1Panther:
WHo cares?

Who is busy shouting biafrau.d up and down like Orangutans?

When they are done with radicalisation, they can all migrate to their Gully Eroded Land and declare Biafrau.d for the 2nd time.

Nigeria survived Adaka Boro's secession, Nigeria survised Biafrau'd secession, Nigeria survived Boko Haram's Caliphate, she will survive another effort in futility to secede.

Forget the lie that no nation can survive 2 civil wars. Nigeria did - Biafrau'd and Islamic Caliphate of BH.

Who is talking about war? This one finish primary school so

Your ignorant and bitter saliva spraying like a true snake is worthless here. Where are you from sef

This incident in the National Assembly is just boosting IPOB's influence. If the video of the fierce resistance of the northern caucus to that bill is circulated it will radicalise Igbos sitting on the fence.

Anything we see we take...

OP - I like your faith and hopes but Nigeria isnt anywhere near greatness. A huge population with a failed educational system is recipe for major failure. Our economy is like it was in the 1970s, chronic nepotism and corruption in the public service and a business environment that sucks initiative like a vampire. Corporations like Walmart are worth more than whole countries bro, the days of the mighty state are going...

China only began to be great in the 1980s despite its population, same for India. Rwanda, Tanzania, SA and few other countries in Africa stand a better chance because their systems work better

Akinz0126:
Bro well said since 1960 till date what have we achieved as a nation am an afonja but make eeverything scatter am behind my biafra guys

Nna you are not Afonja, you are a Yoruba. There is a big difference bro. Remain blessed

Commissioner Osunbande na mumu o. He should relay this flawed advice to his people. Afonja the 1st allied with fulani and lost illorin. Awolowo did the same hoping to be President but fulani outsmarted him and used MKO Abiola to rubbish him. MKO thought he was special but we know how fulani stifled June 12. Tinubu is Afonja for the 21st century and we can see how sterile and tamed the fulani has rendered him. At best he is a local champion.

Osinbajo ronu o dont be the latest mugu

EmeeNaka:
I am beginning to fear this Biafra thing o. I thought it will stop with proper changes done in Nigeria but training Children as Biafrans scares me. I am not sure I am ready for Biafra sovereign state.

Honestly I am surprised but if our people really want it the wisest thing to do is play our role help guide the process and building of the new country. Because as I don dey see am...

New Guinea kwa?? Ndi Igbo unu na sa ka

Nope, but he is a big spark

Where is the OP of this silly topic make I yab am

timota:
which justice? Did up not follow the story to know thayer they only wanted to remove him because he spoke against northern hypocrisy and northern elite manipulations of the populace to their interest

The same northern elite who are begging Kano State governor for him now? Pls leave matter, why should Sanusi be lobbying for godfathers to save him if his hands are clean?

Norhing can stop an idea that has taken root. The worst that can happen is that restructuring of Nigeria will happen, the best that can happen is a UN supervised referendum and election.

We are getting there. Even likes of Atiku and co know it is time
