Afam4eva:
It's people like you that get it wrong. Igbos have never said that they're the only one being marginalized but they're speaking for themselves. As much as Nigerians irrespective of tribe are marginalized, that of Igbos is on another level. You can keep denying it to yourself all you want but the truth is there to see.

That is because you chose to believe so. Like I pointed out to one of your likes above why is every state not asking for a second Niger bridge when they do not have the first ?

Why do Igbo feel entitled to that ?

Why do you think Igbo deserve a centenary like one suggested in the post ?

How many heads do Igbo have to make such demands ?

Why do ijaws not clamour for more states ?

Why are Idomas not wailing it's their turn to be president ?

Why don't we have more Efik Nupe Igala ministers n all the other rubbish the Igbos wail about ?

In fact why must FG allow Aba to be a manufacturing hub ?

Why must the only indigenous car manufacturing plant be cited in IgboLand ?

We all can wail the FG to its grave on why and more whys.

LadyExcellency:
Why interchange tribe with region?

Igbos may not be marginalized from your assumptions but Southeast as a region is maginalized development-wise.

How about a centenary city in Enugu or Owerri for a start?

Igbos are not asking for N5000 every month for any category of its people far from it rather a federal presence in form of partial administrative or commercial or investment headquarters.

[size=18pt]Why can't centenary city be cited in Kano Kwara Niger Osun Edo etc ? Why must it be either Enugu or Anambra ? Do Igbos have two heads ? In fact why not even build centenary city in every corner of Nigeria.

Why must there be a Niger bridge talk less of a second linking the east ?

Why are states such as Osun Plateau Benue Taraba Rivers Delta etc not wailing for a second Niger bridge when they do not have a first ? Some of you Igbos need to find exactly what is wrong with your brains. [/size]

[size=18pt]99.8% of Igbos can not just help being foolish. We all know Igbos already purchased 90% of the landed properties in Lagos, developed and undeveloped from the Yorubas. Now, Igbos tell me if you are to sell your properties due to the downturn of the Nigeria economy, who exactly are you expecting to buy from you ? We all know Yolobas are lazy ewedu n oyel drinking people that do not work so they do not have money to buy the land back. It is only Igbo that are hardworking and rich so who buy this property from the igbos or do Igbo expect the majority Yoruba agebros to buy the properties from them and paid them with laziness or 99.8% of Igbos on NL are eternally foolish ? [/size]

MXrep:
The Unitary system Ironsi created had nothing like quota system or state of origin. Igboland is merit driven, anything done on merit natrrally favours igbos. the under 17 team is 50% SE and carried the cup. If things should not be merit based and equal opportunity for the best to emerge, let everbody go and stay on their own. Igbos will never intentionally reduce their quest for excellence to comfort lazy ppl's fear of domination

Igbo as the talent to dominate the under 17 with roughly about 50% of it own n every Nigeria applaud the Igbo they do not wail that Igbo dribbles more or are stronger that is why they dominate but when it come to national politics that the Hausa/Fulanis dominate with about 40% of the people in sensitive positive why do the Igbo wail themselves to death ?

Is it that the Igbo nation admits that it's a colossal failure in term of Intelligent politicking ?

Is it that the Igbos only have the intelligence/ prowess of footballing lack that of leadership ?

This n many more are what Igbos like you need to look into before crying marginalisation

Do the Igbo race lack the intelligence or mental capacity to outsmart the Hausa/Fulani in nationalp

NakedEve:
Yoruba. I love ur style.
U guys have corrupted d mind of the SS towards the Igbo man.
How did it happen?
Through propaganda.
You became high ranking officials in the Oil industry in PH, calabar etc.
Over the years you corrupted SS girls with ur dicks and spoilt them with cash--plenty cash.
You married many and became in-laws to the SSners.
And now they pay allegiance to you because you are now one family sort off.
And now they speak whatever you want them to because you r married to their toto and have destroyed it.
Yoruba I cut hat for una abeg.
Una try.

It's sad you can not reason beyond the capacity of your brain. It is indeed sad to see that this is the best you can do among your mates on Nairaland. Such a waste, smh.

chronos:
One thing you have to understand is that you can't kill an idea...not even a massacre or pogrom can kill an idea

What happened to the idea of southern confederacy In the USA. That's an idea that is dead than any mummy you can find in Egypt.

So ideas do die, all that is needed is to find the rights antidote to neutralise it and in the case of this biafran agitation flogging will do just fine. Just like the way the madness from the Igwe of Akure was thoroughly flogged off his medulla by the Deji of Akure .

asorocker:
what on earth stops the east from taking over this Airport and turning it into an Aviation Hub a Boing 747 can be leased from a leasing company or out rightly bought for between $24 M to $400 M and weekly trips to London, Dubai , China, South Africa can be done , while Local Trips to other airports in Nigeria will also be done.

Most igbos all over the world will prefer flying the eastern airline than any other airline, The igbos built imo airport single handedly and shoudl take it back from the Federal Government which they handed over the Airport in the 80s during the military rule.

Igbo Nation with more than 45 million wel travelled population can run a very good airline and use Enugu and Owerri as ist hub just like emirates has Dubai airport as its hub and Etihad has Doha Airports as its hub

Thanks for this comment, I hope this people will just learn to take their destiny in their own hands. Imagine waiting for FG to buy buses to convey passengers. The same FG that refused to repair the airport road that it tolled here in Lagos for how many years now ?

nnafather:
If that old man is serious, he should cut down his feeding allowance that is greater than the allocation to the Agricultural sector...bad government.

You can bet he won't be budgeting 1/3 of Jonathan Ebele's I billion naira for food yearly.

kepstone:
Sir, I am a Pastor, and what you wrote or posted is heyressy. I will not and never teach this nonsense to my church. U are not spiritually matured yet bro or whoever u are. U have not understand bthe concept of SIN. Time will not permit me to elucidate more on this, cos I see u don't know homiletics ( law of scripture interpretation). Please just ask God to to forgive u for this s trash you posted, cos this is not the HolySpirit speaking through you. 2tim2:19-22, 1thesss4:3-4, Gal 5:19-21. There are many scriptures that talks about purity, Holiness and much more. Please don't derail people with this. God did not save you to keep you in sin, and for you to keep on wallowing in sin. If a pig falls into the mud it wallows, but if a sheep falls into a mud it cries out for help because its not in the nature of the sheep to wallow in d mud. No matter how you sin and how you fall, or make mistake, never endorse sin, cos sin is not the nature of a believer. But when a beliver consciously sin.... Does he think grace will abound. If many will run with this as believers they will end up in HELL FIRE. So please correct yourself and go and study your bible well before you come out to the public to tell people about the bible you did not authored.

Mr Pastor, are you without sin ? You that know the anatomy of the Holy Spirit. Can you look God in the eye n say you have not sinned this few days ? My bible teacher preach pass you yet he is an ardent drunkard. He'd take any pastor to the cleaners on or about the scripture. If you be God Na God know how many you'd have condemned to hellfire yet your life is not without sin.

The bible say our righteous is like a filthy rag before God. I do not see how yours could be any different talk of being beta. As you pastor reach you go still sin this week, only his grace n not your understand make us whole. You are not at your alter so I beg no come dey grand stand here on NairaLand.

That is a fact. I simply can not understand why black leaders would rather loot the wealth to beta the lives of their people than empower them.

Every race the European colonised is standing toe to toe with them right now in virtually every induces of human development except Africa. If it is not a curse I wonder what it is.

Asians Arabs Latinos that were all in the same class as Africa in the 60s have all progressed to the level of their colonial masters. Take a look at China Japan Brazil Tunisia Morocco etc.

There's indeed nothing to be proud of in the black race considering the disgrace we are to the world. The saying black n proud is a gimmick used in amusing unwise African that there's something to be proud of about Africans.

Any African with a brain understand there's nothing to be proud of in Africa.

NgeneUkwenu:
I wonder how some People(PDP and IPOBs) reason, they criticized and abused Lai Mohammed for coming to say, that Boko Haram had been defeated, yet they couldn't point out one Village still being Occupied by Boko haram.

For the past 3Months, no major attack has been carried by Boko haram, no video posted anyway, The minister and Journalist toured Borno without any incident.

I could remember during Jonathan infamous tenure, when he said, he couldn't step inton Borno State for want of being killed by Boko haram. But the Villagers and former occupants of the territories are now moving back to bases, Yet they don't want to Crédit Buhari for that.

Boko Haram Has Benn Defeated, If you don't like it, then go and Join them or form your Own Boko IPOB!

Useless idiotuss!!!

You Omenka etc are indeed enough reason not to be a bigot. You guys are appreciated.

leofab:
My state ?

How sad but sorry sha. You people should switch parties. O'tega will definitely do a beta job since it's now obvious Ogboru as no interest in rescuing the state from the PDP.

Duru1:
A trash from a deluded poster. In a straight war without silly helps from certain quarters for the cesspit called Nigeria, it could not have defeated Biafra even with its numerical advantage. The trash cannot hide you fear. If Igbo is not taller, which no Igbo person has advocated about being taller, why not let them split from the cesspit. Must Nigeria conduct referendum to let Ndiigbo and Biafra split from the cesspit called Nigeria? What is the fear for Christ sake?

You just explained that the two million igbos lost in the Biafra war is a self inflicted genocide committed singlehandedly by the igbos on themselves but do not desist keep it up.

Two of your Igwes were recently disgraced n flogged blue black with all your grandstanding. Na so your forefathers do so tey dem grandstand loss 2 million igbos.

Just remba in war there is nothing like foreign or local support/influence. There is no clean or dirty wars. You fight with what you have n will not because Biafra as only dame gun not bombard Biafra with machine gun if it's in my armoury nor will I say because Biafrans were starving when at war with me facilitate how food to quench your hunger will be arranged to you.

When the igbos have the intelligence to not blame others for their woes then Biafra may no longer be a pipe dream. Example; if you are at war n need foreign help to win find or get the help do not lose the war only to lament over that as the reason for lossing. Only fools do that.

If you need food to feed Biafrans during the war ask the UN bring it in through Cameroon or Enugu airport not through lagos. What kind of a foolish leader request to have what he intends feeding is army n populace with pass through an enemy border. All Nigeria need do was poison the food n all Ojukwu army would have been late.

Lastly, choice intelligent leaders only not those foolish enough to lead you into war without equipping you with adequate ammunitions n food. The only similarities btw Ojukwu n Kanu leading Igbos into war without adequate provision for food n ammunition since 1960.

All I see is another dose of self inflicted genocide, say this time about 4 millions or make we kuku round am up to 5 million dead Biafrans. When you kill your own people finish in the millions your brain go reset.

brize:
They keep mentioning war war war... Well i underatand that everyone in this contraption called Nigeria sell their conscience for cheap lies with no reaosning.... We were not born doing the war and those shooting us were also not born doing the war. Leave war lets talk Referendum

The baffling thing about the Igbo race is their bravado. Have you ever wonder why Nigeria can not tell Biafra what to do but Biafra can dictator to Nigeria what must be done ?

If Nigeria is desirous of a war for Biafra to leave then to war Biafra must go. If the intellectuals in Biafra can not get down their high horse and lay down flat on their igbotic Tommy and plead, beg that Nigeria should conduct a referendum or let Biafra go, I say no such request must be granted no matter how sensible.

The Igbo race must learn to understand they do not stand taller than any other tribe in Nigeria. As Igbo do not want to be dictated to so do other Nigerians are not desirous of any Igbo dictating what should happen or not happen to them in their fatherland.

coolitempa:
One thing I know is that the elite ibos must be cringing when they see these biafran clowns expose their weaker under bellies...

One thing I need to do is put a face to your moniker. Girl, the sagacity of your comment is driving me crazy.

Appreciable development but nothing world class about this. Kudos to Mimiko.

BeClever:
If not that you are not a hateful bigot, I may try to explain things to you with hope that you may understand, but as the case may be your case is lost. You only belong to the psychiatris home now.

Sorry!!!!

lol... there you go wiping up sentiment when you entire life is dedicated to bigotry. What you quoted is what the entire Igbo race is known for DECIET so am not surprised.

You are left to wallow in your foolishness. You should get a dico n learn the difference btw rare n rear as used ignorantly in one of your demented post.

jstbeinhonest:
Shut the fvck up,you filthy liar.There were more Igbos than yorubas during the MKO protest?,Igbos that ran back to the east during the protest,do you think we are all fools?,Keep lying to yourselves.

If you know how close I am to MKO before during n after the elections even your fathers in their grave dare not make the above claim in my presence.

I repeat no single Igbo stood up to fight for the actualisation of June 12. NOT EVEN ONE. The same happened with Jonathan Ebele, not one Igbo stood up to confront Yardua's Turai that was barring Jonathan from being installed as president after the death of Yardua even though he is Biafra like you love to claim n am moved to ask what exactly can the entire Igbo race stand up for beside such foolishness as the agitation of Biafra ?

You all should be sad n ashamed of that clan you call a tribe. A tribe with no balls but cowards. Your forefather are known cowards n that is exactly the path your youth threads today. I spite on you all n weep for you at the same time. What more can one expect from a tribe filled with OSU, Nigeria need to cast you all out.

BeClever:
I, who is responding to you right now is ready to die for the course which that man is fighting for..

Question: how many Yoruba where ready to die for MKO, were you?

Answer: Non

Eye opener: the demonstration (riot) that ensued in Lagos the were carried out by more Igbos than Yoruba.

My elder brother and his friends were among the demonstration of which he was arrested and we saw him on National Television NTA from Enugu then.

How many Yoruba men can do that for issue relating to Igbos.

Answer again: Nil.

Their mouth and brain functions better when thing are normal and as soon as they are pressed down, they most times find it hard to rise to the occasion.

[size=15pt]Lmao. Some of u Igbo never cease to amuse me with you foolishness. Here is how your question should be outlined -

Q - 1; How many Igbo state partook in the agitation for the actualisation of June 12 ?

Ans - NONE

COM : It follows that no Igbo state as ever fought for what is right in Nigeria and will ever do that in the future. Their being is dedicated to the destruction of the entity called Nigeria.

Q - 2; How many Igbo were locked up in any part of Nigeria for June 12 ?

Ans - NONE

COMM : It follows that your forefathers have been known to be cowards from time memorial. Even Yardua Musa a northerner was locked up fighting for a just cause but no single Igbo among the over 12 million or so could rise to make a stand for what is right. You deserve to be ashamed of your tribe.

Q -3; How many Igbo States protested for the installation of Jonathan Ebele after the death of Yardua ?

Ans - NONE

COMM; There is no need commenting on this as all hope is lost on the claim that your tribe is not filled with only cowards. You can not even stand up for your own with many former senate presidents n other positions you held.

It took the grace of a common Yoruba BAKARE n SOYINKA without any power or position to lead the installation of Jonathan Ebele.

Where were the cowards occupying powerful positions from your tribe ?

All n not even one can stand tall n be counted to stand against the almajiri wife of Yardua ?

Your people are a disgrace to themselves and to every single Nigerian at large.

It is Amadioha that will discipline you if ever claim any other tribe in Nigeria are cowards beside your tribe. [/size]

EternalTruths:
It is funny you used MKO as a case study when everyone knows how fearful and weak his people are


Kanu on the other hand has a brave people SS/SE of Nigeria backing him and has demonstrated it through peaceful protest.

[size=15pt]Their fear n weakness forced the dictator Babangida to step aside forever, killed Abacha n restored democracy to Nigeria with another Yoruba MAN installed as the president to lead the country into democracy.

That is what fear n weakness does when used intelligently. We are waiting to see what the entire Igbo race will achieve with their Kanu led bravado. The last bravado orchestrated by them led to 2 million lost of lives with many millions left to starve to death[/size].

googlepikin:
During GEJs time every December we all enjoyed light for 22hrs but now, am not sure if our transformer is still working or phcn have decided to punish the whole of my area. Buhari at least fear Jesus and give us light. Photogenic government

[size=13pt]There is a new technology that allows you to covert wailing to electricity, it is called SHUTUP. Please get one.[/size]

ProfSamurai:
Your boss is wise.

Obasanjo witch hunted Abacha's family - in doing this, he did not lose focus - but, he was still able to get debt relief, telecoms and the banking industry right. This turned out to be the biggest employer of labour after the government and the oil industry.

My opinion.
Buhari should take a cue from OBJ. If he's determined to witch hunt GEJ's regime - atleast do it the OBJ way or better not worse.

That is exactly what he is doing, it took Obasanjo 8 years to achieve all of that. Buhari had a fair starting but loot recovery n essence of foreign trip does not work like magic. It takes time for the result to manifest.

ruggedtimi:
ghanaians hate and envy nigerians...i wnder wat will happen to ghana if nigerians leave dere. firstly circle in accra will collapse, accra mall too will collapse.Ghana's economic will also collapse...mny thngs.

Shut up and stop being a slowpoke. If Nigeria leave Ghana nothing will happen to Ghana. Nigeria did not build Ghana so learn to make rational comment instead of talking trash.

latitidejavu:
Yes, we love our parents but African parents should learn to strike that balance and acknowledge the independence and individuality of their children.

Like the Americans right or why not even ask African parent not to even bring up their children in the ways of their religion since you are preaching rebellion ? Would that be what you would teach to your own kids having failed to impact the doctrine of your faith in them ? How do you strike a balance with that and a rebellious child ?

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has declared the Bayelsa State governorship election as inconclusive.
The electoral body also cancelled the election held in Southern Ijaw local government area on Sunday, December 6.

INEC officials led by the REC, Prof Zana, had earlier announced results from seven of the eight local government area in the state with Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate and incumbent, Seriake Dickson in the lead.

Dickson claimed victory in six of the LGAs while his main challenger, Timipre Sylva managed to win one LGA.

It would be recalled that earlier today, PDP supporters besieged INEC office protesting the heavy presence of security operatives as well as delay in announcement of results from Southern Ijaw.

The protesters who carried placards and sang war songs, attempted to storm election result collation centre.

Messages on some of the placards read: “we need peace; we say no to evil; military, stay away from politics; leadership is about building, not destroying.”

Security agents stationed in front of the State High Court, had a difficult time putting them under check as the angry protesters insisted on going into the collation centre, dead or alive, to see INEC officials.

Not even reinforcement from operatives of the Nigerian Army deter the determined protesters who alleged that military operatives hijacked electoral process in the Southern Ijaw and Nembe local government areas.

The Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of security in the ongoing gubernatorial election in Bayelsa state, Hashimu Argungu, has declared that the police will use minimum force as provided in the law, to disperse protesters, if necessary.

Argungu who was responding to questions from journalists on Monday afternoon at the premises of governorship election result collation centre in Yenagoa, noted that the life and peace of the people are more important than anything else.

He disclosed that the police had hint of the planned protest before they staged, hence the reason why he issued and signed the statement banning protests and rallies in the state.

He enjoined the people of Bayelsa state to allow due process to prevail in the course of the election, adding that whoever feel aggrieved could always go to court.

Here are the results announced by INEC
Ogbia LGA:
APC: 9,106

This may sound like a dumb question, but I really want to know; why exactly do igbo people want to break away from Nigeria?


I am asking this because the current agitator for Biafra, Nnandi Kanu, in most of his interviews is always saying that the North can't keep on enjoying their oil. And this makes me think...Is the oil for the South Easterners or for the South South people? I have asked a lot of my friends from the south south (both online and offline) and none of them is interested in leaving Nigeria and being a part of a predominantly igbo speaking Biafra.


Another reason Nnadi Kanu always gives is that Hausa/Fulani are killing Igbo people. I don't know how true that is. All I know is Boko Haram, a terror group in Northern part of Nigeria has been killing NIGERIANS of all tribes and religions.


My argument is...since Igbo people always say they are the most hardworking people in Nigeria (I think this is somewhat true, as I sold CDs and DVDs for about 8 years at a point, and the hustling spirit of igbo people in Alaba always marveled me), then why do they clamor so much for position in the government of the zoo? We all know that even if Fashola becomes the president tomorrow, it won't automatically better my life as a Yoruba man. Most politicians care solely about themselves. So, why can't Igbo people stay with Nigeria, and make their millions from all part of Nigeria as they have always done? If they break free, will they also leave all the parts of the Zoo they have their businesses in?

They don't want to leave the zoo. It is the right of Igbo to leave the zoo "Nigeria" and it is also the right of the Igbos to determine that Nigerians should not touch their properties after they leave the zoo.

The way their argument is going after leaving for Biafra I believe it would still be Igbo right to produce law n lead parastatals in the zoo because only the African Jew from the land of the rising sun "Japan motto" have the monopoly of knowledge.

All these right have been guaranteed by one UN charter or the other. So Mr Ewedu licking Yolobar or Yellowbar let Igbo enjoy their God given right but I wonder if Lagos will still be a no man's land after the actualisation of Biafra.
