Promhize:They'll make more profit than all the profits made by all indigenous companies in Nigeria combined. This is grand robbery. |
Thanks for this post Obiagu1: |
With 1% of all government money transfers, no state in Nigeria could rival Remita. Talk of broad daylight robbery. Buhari, the corruption fighter, now perpetrating the worst corruption in Nigerian history. |
FreeGlobe:He's Yoruba. |
IlekeHD:What's this one saying? I can't even understand a thing you just said. Sorry, I'm not in the business of posting people pictures. That's damn childish. |
IlekeHD:When I knew you, you were in your mid 20s, after 5 years you should be in your late 20s, yet you are still the same, wetting on every guy you see. Grow up! |
ikechu1278:I knew he was Yoruba. The fool is calling on genocide on the Igbo, but being a coward that he is, he wants others to do the job for him. He is just a sick man. |
I don't think we need a prophecy to see this coming... |
Phame:He has nothing to offer just hearsays. |
dammytosh:It's because of blatant theft like this that pushes me to seek for a new country. I don't want to live like you people no more. |
realchanger:Do you know what 1% of total Nigeria earnings mean? God, these people are thieves. |
dammytosh:You should have referred us to the site instead of writing that trash. |
dammytosh:You posted trash as a rebuttal to Fayose's question without answering his question. Who owns System Spec, that's what Fayose wants Buhari to tell Nigerians. You're just being too clever by half. |
Who owns System Spec? |
dammytosh:Are you this dumb? Who owns System Spec? |
The statement further added that the meeting will map out plans for widespread and sustained protest to ensure that severance of the present federal arrangement that includes the Igbos as a federating unit, is halted.The meeting will also mount pressure on all Igbos residing or carrying out business in any part of the North to relocate east and all Northerners in the East should do likewise.A beg, someone should translate what the OP has up there. |
cont'd. An attempt by NLNG to Ibanise Bonny people in 2002 failed simply because their language is/was never Ibani (spoken simply by a very few) but Ubani Igbo (not just any Igbo dialect) which goes with the fact that the actual name of Bonny is Ubani. When asked why they don’t speak Ibani, their reply is always “Nnem ezim, Nnam ezim”, meaning my mother did not teach me, my father did not teach me. The truth is that their parents never spoke Ibani, so how could they teach their kids what their great great grand fathers never spoke? |
It's time for critical thinking... |

Pavore9:This is for the records when the time comes, we know what to do. Igboland dipped into the ocean. |
From Nigeria LNGSix Project Environmental Study of the Sterile Zone, Nov 2003 "Also due to the negative influence of Ubani Igbo, on the use of Ibani language by Bonny people (Ubani Igbo is some form of Igbo dialect introduced partly as a result of trade relations in the hinterland with Igbos and also the influence of Igbo slaves in Bonny), NLNG has set out to save Ibani language from extinction. Key informants stated that with the influx of strangers on the Island, the Ubani Igbo and Pidgin English have relegated Ibani to the background. [size=16pt]Therefore, NLNG in April 2002, started a pilot renaissance programme to teach a group of 100 children aged 4 – 12 years Ibani language.[/size] Incidentally, at the take off of the course, interested persons had more than doubled. However, at the time of this survey, information obtained from the NLNG community relations shows that attendance was gradually declining." Chief A. T. Allison, secretary Bonny Chiefs Council is also highly disappointed at the general response to the study of the Ibani Dialect in Bonny. [size=16pt]He agreed that introduction of the dialect into schools as a compulsory subject would help but regretted that the children would not get any encouragement from their parents at home.[/size] (Reason: They are not Ibani but Igbo) He said, [size=16pt]“The home of the children is where the crux of the problem lies, otherwise would have suggested that the adults be ignored a bit and greater emphasis laid on the children in the interest of future generations. Therefore, whatever advantage or encouragement is given to the children in the study of IBANI, should be redoubled and given to their parents if not, all efforts would prove fruitless”.[/size] The Ibo he said is now what he calls the Commercial Language of the Bonny man. |
For the record, during the rein of the Ijaw in old Rivers State, they tried to forcefully turn Igbo people to Ijaw. Read below. |
Excerpt from memoirs of Hugh Crow (1765 – 1829), an English sea captain. "The inhabitants of Bonny, when our author last visited that port, amounted to about 3,000. They are chiefly a mixture of the Eboe, or Heebo, and the Brass tribes; the latter deriving their name from the importation into their country, which lies to the northward and westward of Bonny, of a kind of European-made brass pans, . . . It is probable (and this opinion entertained by Captain Adams and others) that Bonny, and the towns on the low line of the coast on either side of it were [size=16pt]originally peopled from the Eboe country[/size], and that before the commencement of the slave trade, if it then existed, the habitants employed themselves in the making of salt, . . . [size=16pt]The King of New Calabar (Kalabari) in the neighbourhood, and Pepple, king of Bonny, were both of Eboe descent, of which also are the mass of the native."[/size] |
Ijaw people were separated from the Igbo in the old Rivers State by Sani Abacha who, in 1996, gave all Ijaw a homeland and called it Bayelsa State. Not a single territory in the present day Rivers State is Ijawland because they are squatters. Historical facts were used to determine the boundary between the Ijaw and the Igbo. This was necessary to ease the tension in Port Harcourt (Igweocha) that led to the assassination and dismembering of Dr. Obi Wali by the Ijaw in 1993 for his struggle to liberate the Igbo from Ijaw strangulation. Now, what is left of Rivers is for the Igbo people and the Ogoni. Below is for the records. |
For those Igbos that support 'One Nigeria'; What are your plans to prevent Igboland from turning to a battlefield between the Igbo and the Fulani just like in Jos? For your information, they've moved down south from Jos to Kogi and are at the tip of Enugu State now. Are your investments outside Igboland worth more than the thousands of men, women and children that would be slaughtered and houses and villages razed down? Is your political position in Abuja worth more than those lives? Have you made plans to protect Igboland and what are they? |
One of the major reasons I want Biafra is to avoid Islam incursion into Igboland. I bet you, if we remain in Nigeria, in 20 years time, Igboland would be a war zone between the Igbo and the Fulani just like it is in Jos. We don’t have upper hand at all. Fulani fighters don't have residency, they don't have women and children to protect. They simply sneek in at night and slaughter everyone with no army to protect us. This is why I think One Nigeria Igbos are big fools. We need Biafra and an army to protect us. |
trapQ:10 million? Are you insane? Let's break it down, what's the population of Bayelsa, the Ijaw homeland? |
Wait a minute, did they talk about South South republic abi na Niger Delta Republic? Who did they consult? Did they go to Ogwashi Ukwu or to Asaba or to Oyigbo or to Agbor or to Egbema to tell the elders that they want to create their republic? What nonsense! |
trapQ:Go and answer your papa name and stop this forceful attachment, stand on your own and be proud. Go and create a thread for your tribe! |
Goldmaxx:A very matured response from you to that overgrown toddler. |
madenigga:No problem. Can you guys form an all inclusive group for Rivers Igbo people just like we have Anioma in Delta State? |
