davidif: And What what does this have to do with anything? Gosh you Nigerians are so unnecessarily defensive I am using Lagos as a model for governmental dysfunction in Nigeria because I travelled there and because it's what I am familiar with so stop getting your panties all in a bunch like a teenage girl.
Alright then so long we can both agree that Lagos is beta managed than your state you visit from we'd just wait on your state to get to where Lagos is so that it can test run your ideas for the rest of us to learn from. Nice idea by the way.
davidif: He is wrong! Land should go to the people or their local communities not the state (except for small strategic areas designated as federal lands for national security). I was in Lagos not too long ago and I found out that the state raises revenue via taxes and then turns around gives it to the local governments which is so dumb. LGA's should be able raise their own revenue and provide services for their constituents this way you encourage civic participation by the people and reduce the possibility of money passing through many hands.
How does it operate in the state you came from to Lagos ? Guess the LGA's over there generate it's own revenue n all the civic participation theory bla bla bla. Remove the log in the eye of your state or shut it.
omohayek: While I agree with Ambode that the Land Use Act needs to go, I strongly disagree with his suggested replacement. Why should the state governors, using the legislatures they control, be given even more freedom to act like mini-dictators?
What needs to replace the Land Use Act is to make clear and easy provision for individuals to acquire perpetual title to land, and to then dispose of said land as they please, whether by sale, gifting it or whatever. It should be made much harder for politicians to interfere with individual property rights except where eminent domain clearly applies, and een then individuals should be entitled to receive fair market value (as assessed by an agency independent from the government) for the land taken from them.
Of course, all of the above is what one would wish for in a sane country whose leaders are actually serious about making the citizens lives better, rather than merely searching for new opportunities to steal. As such I don't expect any governors, senators or house members to come forward in favor of individual land rights.
You should have all this once Biafra is granted we will make do with what Ambode believe will protect the right of his state n indigene.
That is how one random guy online asked me to visit him. with my own hard earned money. I wonder if sugar dey him D. tfu
seriously Nigerian girls don't think Nigerian boys are worth wasting any money on.
In Europe after the girl has bought the tickets and travelled down, they go on romantic dates, sight see and it's so fun for both.
But if a naija girl waste money to come and see y'all, she gains nothing. she go cook tire like say u don marry her, then steady knacking till day break.
so tell me, are you worth a girl spending 2k to come and see you!!?
Your brain has collapsed completely I swear. For your mind this response is appropriate for this post smh4u.
We have all read about how Yoruba are the draw back holding Igbo from their Biafra Utopia. I have read from Igbo countless times how Awolowo only gave them 20 pounds from the billion they saved before the war.
I have read about the claims of marginalization by the Igbo etc. What I just discovered is that the three year allocation of the Igbo state was paid by this same Awolowo who the Igbo love to demonize even without fec approval. Why he did this is a topic for another day.
What is amiss is that ever since I have been reading through journals detailing the atrocities claims n counter claims of the Biafran and Nigerian army I have never come across where it is was stated by any Igbo that Awolowo took such drastic action to save millions of improvised Igbo not even from Adichie.
Now my question is judging from the way so many Igbo have been demonizing Awolowo can any Igbo, Ipob whoever that as the knowledge tell us what they did with three year allocation? We know salaries were not paid as no services were rendered so what exactly swallowed the allocation?
I must say it is understandable that the Igbo have the penchant of absolving their leaders of blames and failures even when it is glaring but surely someone need to point out what exactly was achieved with 3 years allocation. Lagosian can attest to what Fashola achieved after Yardua paid the allocation accruing to Lagos after the siege from Obasanjo. So what did Igbo achieve which three years federal allocation and who should take the credit for this messianic act?
prodigy24: Some of your are brazen ignorant or pure tribalist. let me tell you, in japan, after the war, America spent so much money in rebuilding the japan, and they are still grateful for that till today. what did Nigeria do to the Eastern region after the war aside niger bridge? they killed many development projects like PRODA, they stopped technical department at UNN. What happened to the RRR that was executed in the southwest, the massive aerial bombardment that was carried out on innocent citizens, what measure did FG put in place like what we currently have in the self inflicted northeast? Honestly i feel yoruba has a date with igbo people, There is something greatly amiss in the psyche of an average yoruba man on ndi igbo.. Everybody in my family, plux extended families contributed moneis to a single man that has bank account, and he returned with only 20pounds, my dad told me that his own money alone was over 10000pounds, but he never got any kobo, because 20pounds can not be shared, it was like 20naira. How do you share a single note currency? what you don't know is that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, we experienced the war, we know how we went through it. it will be very abnormal, unacceptable for you to tell us our story. The war was carried out on us and on our land, the rapes and atrocities were done in our land. Reading the op, validates the Biafra call, because these people are still evil. They do not wish anything good to us.But continue, nothing lasts forever, there was a time, Roma reigned, Greeks reigned, british reigned, now America is reigning, while China is stepping up. We will never forget. i have said it before , if Nnamdi kanu fails,it is just a postponement of the burial date of Nigeria.I and many people like me will never fail,
There are only 2 things Igbo love more than money and that is chest beating n lies. Let them continue to lie n nourish their soul like the rest of us never grew up in this country.
This is one reason why Ojukwi lost the war. When Igbo are ready to declare succession they should be prepare for any n all eventualities. You might say it will go south n up there to the north it goes. You just have to be ready. Ojukwu never knew army need food to fight a war. Do you know how basic that is ? It is so basic that it is not thought in the NDA but only thought to recruits n warrant officers. How a general does not understand this is still a mystery. Not only that the general was bold enough to declare n demand the enemy he is at war with should be the one to feed him n his army, how pathetic !
starkid1996: nigerian army dat can't defeat boko haram and niger delta millitant talk more of an all out or geurrila warfare by biafra that would be fighting on many front boko haram in northeast millitants in the creek and biafra
Do you have any idea how long Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq Colombia etc have been battling guerilla ? How many of those have been successful ? Lot of you are so foolish that you do not realise while guerilla tactic is very efficient it will never lead to Biafra. The entire SE will remain in quagmire for the century it last only for Ipob to surrender in the long run.
Thank God for you. Like you said they need to take it easy. There is little the populace can do but result to self help when the police failed woefully in it's duty.
Amarabae: in your almajiri thinking, Igbos are only found in south east! I am not from the south east and am Igbo just like Col.Ajuzie who dealt with you guys at Abagana, he is from Asaba. 1. You have fertile land yet Kwashiokor is rampant in all Idps in the North, have you seen an idp in the SE before even after the war? Go and feed the almajiri beggars. 2. Landlocked?hahahaha, go and read about Obeaku and Oguta lake, they have access to the atlantic if expanded and dredged. Tell me any river in the north that have access to atlantic? NONE. 3. Tell me one NE state that is better than Anambra? Igbos rebuilt SE on their own after the war, why are you people begging for Loan and 2% of Federal tax to rebuilt NE? 4. The future of South East is Far brighter than your whole north be it in all MDG ranking. 5. Yes, South East is fertile, go to Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra and see Agriculture, SE People are feeding well unlike Northern Malnourished Almajiris. 6. Both Biafra, N.D Republic, Oduduwa are going, Your landlocked desert Arewa with no drop of oil will be poorer than Chad. ... Finally, Which IDP Camp Are you typing from? PARASITES!
A girl for that matter your existence is totally committed to die of hate and bad mouth.
Amarabae: I somehow agree with the OP, Igbos have no allies in this country. Anti-Igbo media propagandas have made many ethnic group to be suspicious of Igbos. I don't pray for war, biko because Igbos are not ready or well positioned to win it. Restructure Nigeria Now
Okorocha is a fraudster with some uncompleted project to show but Willy Obiano is a God sent for signing MOU, IOU memoranda, invisible ugwu n co. Some people need their brain examined in this contraption called Nigeria.
Very simple make her your side chick too. You will only upgrade her if she meet up to what you desire in a lover. Do not waste your love emotion empathy on pathetic souls that will not reciprocate your love. No time to form mugu I beg.
Too many Igbo like the OP can not just keep their madness to themselves. Before anyone accuse me of being a bigot or tribalist please ask the op if he is not Igbo. Only Igbo goes around with malfunctioned brains such as this. They just can not tame the madness in their blood stream.
Destined2win: And what do you intend to achieve with this post.
If Nigeria has a problem, people like you are the real problem.
The same thing Ipob as been achieving with their hate filled post or you'd rather other sit and just watch the so many foolss among you spread deceit about them not telling how evil you Igbo's are ba ??
[quote author=Ogbuefi2020 post=58135015][/quote]. In life you can not reason beyond your brain power so naturally you thought process refuse to grow beyond being spoon fed. Yoruba started Nigeria's problem but it was not Yoruba that orchestrated the first coup on democratically elected Nigerian leaders.
The three tribes voted for regional government at independence so that each region can grow at it pace n encourage competition. I presume a Yoruba man band Aguiyi Ironsi demolished that system for unitary system of govt again this did not cause any problem to Nigeria.
Again I guess Yoruba were the ones that went to war to break up Nigeria when they lose out of military power play at the center right ? Like I said earlier your brain can not kill itself so naturally your thought process as been spoon fed by the abokis refusing you the opportunity to reason and decipher situation using your brain.
It is sick you are not ashamed of yourself n story. If I would advice you erase the memory of x y z n start with a ensuring that a b never comes into the picture. That way you'd be building from scratch, it is the best way to x build love n trust chikena.
marisdgreat: You don’t have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is. Every one has the right to be stupid but you are just abusing the privilege
The dude's position might be shaky like you claim but take it from me you no get sense n that is a fact.
ReneeNuttall: What kinda cohabitation is that? Op try and get her a different apartment if u have the resources. Even though there might be nothing between them,to me this is totally wrong.what if the guy mistakenly walks Into her room while she's unclad? or vice versa? There is a huge limitation of privacy here.
Lol get her an apartment ?! I did not see the part where the guy Stated he is related to Dangote.
ontiah: Watch a secret CNN Documentary that was never releases for Nigerians view because it contains lots of bitter truths on the Nigerian civil War against the Igbo people in 1968.
