Politics › Re: Tiv And Ibibio Are The Joint 4th Most Populous Ethnic Groups In Nigeria by obidark: 9:00pm On Oct 29, 2019 |
pazienza: Nowenuse :
You think Arabs are not related to Jews? Even the Bible will tell you that Abraham/Ibraham gave birth to both Jews and Arabs. Even in Israel today, there are Arab Israelis and vice versa. Ndiigbo have nothing in common with Hausa or Yoruba in any form. Niger delta? That's an amorphous word, because even they themselves have problems amongst themselves. The Bini vs Ijaw for Gelegele, the Urhobo vs Itsekiri for Warri. The Itsekiri vs Ijaw, etc. They have issues within themselves as well. They are a modern day babel. Igbos fought a war with virtually the entire Nigeria. So there you have it.
The Ndokwas, Ikwerre, Ogba, etc are learners. They are only repeating history in bid to escape from Igbophobic vibes their non Igbo speaking neighbors are sending towards them. Many Manchurians after their lost power in China and became blamed by Hans for China problems, started denying their Manchurian origins to fit into anti Manchurian China now controlled by the Hans. The British Royalty changed their German family name to avoid being linked to Germany, after Germany lost their first world war. Ndokwa and co are only reacting to your Igbophobia, they do not want to be given the Igbo treatment. You made it hard for them to accept who they are. It happens when a people lose a war.
"The war aim and (final) solution properly speaking of the entire problem, is to discriminate against the Igbos and in their own interest. Such discrimination would include above all the detachment of those oil-rich territories in the Eastern Region, in addition, the Igbos' freedom of movement would be restricted, to prevent their renewed penetration intoother parts, leaving any access to the sea to the Igbos is quite out of the question "
(FederalNigerian Minister speaking to E. C. Schwarzenback, Swiss Review of Africa, February 1968).
The above is what it means to be Igbo, you can understand why Ndokwa and co are hell bent on escaping from such yorke. They are not first in history
The Eggon you talked about are nothing like Igbo. They are cunning, non accommodating , etc. Those are not Igbo traits. So yes! God forbid.
Benin was capital of multi ethnic Bendel state. Many Anioma, Urhobo, Itsekiri, whose fathers were civil servants in Bini city capital of old Bendel, stayed behind. It's akin to the high population of Anambra and Ebonyi,people in Enugu state, because it was once the capital of old Anambra state. That's how my own parents came to Enugu as well. Ilorin is a capital of multi ethnic Kwara state, with Fulani, Yoruba, Nupe, etc, all present. Maiduguri was once the capital of an old state comprising Adamawa, Taraba, etc. Those states have many minority states. Jos the tin city attracted many Igbo and other southern groups to the town. After the boom of Tin, many of these families stayed behind. Also old Plateau with Jos as capital included states like Nasarawa, so many groups from there are still there.
Just like you said, below, Land is very scarce and expensive in the SE and for me, I think this is one major reason settlers are discouraged from staying in the SE
I doubt there will be any problems, so long as they pay their rent and invest in the land like Igbos do when they migrate.
I believe it's your innate Igbo prejudice messing with your head. She is probably dissapointed she couldn't use Igbo familiarity to gain cheap favours from you. Not necessarily disappointed that you are not Igbo. She simply think that chances of getting favorable financial dealings with you might be difficult, now that you are not Igbo, and will not give her any special considerations. She is looking at profit lost, you are looking at tribe.
Nothing like this. You lots can't make up your mind about Ndiigbo, you are constantly looking to pin dirt on us. In one minute, you claim we are not united, in another, you claim we too tribal and united . Then you claim we are too much in love with money, then when it suits your narrative like the above, you spin it again.
Let me tell you. If you offer more money for rent on a shop than an Igbo in Onitsha. The Shop owner will chase away the current Igbo occupant for you to enter. And if you sell cheaper than other Igbo neighbours in that shop, or offer superior services, Igbo buyers will prefer to buy from you. We are business people who don't mix business with sentiments. This already contradicts the point you are making above.
How exactly do they not allow others come in?
By paying more for the shops than others can. By offering customers cheaper and better services than others can, thereby running others out of the market. By doing "Oso ahia ", where they go to the market entrance and practically woo buyers into their shops, while non Igbos are starved of customers because they prefer to stay in their shops than face humiliation of wooing many at times unwilling customers to their shops.
By use of "Igba Odibo", where every single trader was trained in the art of business management by a superior successful mentor, who also lease some of his customers to the "Odibo" to enable him survive early days, while non Igbos who jumped into the trade without prior training or experience soon run out of funds and fold up, the Igbos survive and dominate the market. Rather to have a retrospection on why they failed in the business, the non Igbos go about spinning hate stories of how the Igbos used tribalism to chase them out of the market, even when the customers are not Igbos.

ChaosMagus: Hahaaa ... I have followed most of your submission concerning this border closure and you seem to have a problem with Ghanaians and Ghana as a country. Tell me what exactly is your problem with Ghana? Becos I don't get it.
I am not going to talk about which country needs which country more. But ask yourself what products does Nigeria export to Ghana that Ghana cannot get elsewhere..my brother. So if you go to buy a product at a shop and the seller is not treating you well, you cant go somewhere and get it?
Look, i have told you before that your leaders cannot afford to underrate Ghana. They cant afford to not give Ghana a preferential treatment. They cant afford to turn their back on Ghana. It will be at their own detriment. Your views as an ordinary citizen is inconsequential. Forget about all this online bickering and insults. I have always said that if Nigeria is the King, Ghana is that sparkling diamond crown.
Close that border for 20 years and Ghana will never face any economic problem. You know why? Becos Ghana will always have a way. We will look elsewhere while still working to get our goods into Nigeria..The largest market. We are like that persistent salesman whom after you have been rude to him on Monday will come back to you to ask if you will buy his goods. For him he doesn't care if the buyer thinks he needs him more or not. He is all about making sale and making his money. That is Ghana for you. chei....hahahahahahahaha.... nawa....

Doc10q: My ibo brothers from the south east, why are u always so gullible and always easy to believe things If u people analyze d comments of all those here speaking against d ibos, u will noticed from their comments that they are not really from south south They are yoruba demons! I even saw d kind of hate in their comment, that was when I knew they werent any south south. Some of we south south may not like d ibos, but we never speak with hate against them because we know we have things in common with them. Some of us don't like d ibos becos we think they dominate others but we don't hate them. So all those ppl spewing hate here against them are not from any south south but yorubas! My Ibo brothers stop believimg them! majority of us are with u, is jus that we jus don't talk much on nairaland until biafra will come then u will see all of us in large population. I'm from south south and I know how my brothers talk. Some of my brothers may not like d ibos very much but I can promise you they hate and loathe the yorubas more than d ibos. Most of we south south love the ibos becos they re our brothers, we have d same culture and tradition than we do with d yorubas or any other tribe. But some of us dont lik d ibos(very few), let me tell u d truth if u bring an ibo man & a yoruba man and ask us to chose, we always chose the ibos becos we have similar culture. We never chose d yorubas, I tell u, because they are deceitful, betrayals and backstabbing cowards. This is how they killed most of my brothers in d south south and blamed it on d ibos in d 19's during d biafra war. Now we know better. Our eyes has cleared. All those this people here talking bad against the ibos are not any south south. They are mostly yorubas & fulanis. This is how they talk. We d south south support our ibo brothers more than any other tribes. Prove is if you go to any other social media facebook, twitter & co, you will see how we south south are with d ibos, it's only on nairaland that u will be seeing trash. Ibos please learn to ignore these people, they re not any south south! They re are purely yoruba pest. And if there are any of the south south speaking against d ibos, they are jus few, stop listening to them! Majority of us are with the ibos. Don't pay attention to nonsense that u see on nairaland. We that support the ibos are in majority and we are d silent ones. All those that talk too loud against d ibos are in minority and they come here to express their ignorant & gullibility(thatsif they are truly south south sef). These are jus yoruba mongers. My ibo brothers please don't be gullible and stop reacting to this yorubas forming south south. We are with u and we are going to our new nation. Our brother from d same region use to broadcast on YouTube 24/7 about our ibo brothers and biafra. His name is ufoma and he's from urhobo and many of them do too. Some of you may know him. This is prove that we are with our ibo brothers. Please all these yoruba demons and Fulani bastards should leave us alone! We are not one nigeria! U people don't love us, u are jus attaching to us because of our oil! Oil thieves leave us o..!  are you realy sure about that....?? because you think we are not what we told you we are,will still not stop us from sayin something over and over again.... before you know all deltans we not see biafra as option no more.... you will only have strange people like asari left.... |
Politics › Re: South South What Wrong With Some Of You? by obidark: 5:10pm On Oct 29, 2019 |
pazienza: If the SE pulled out from GEJ in 2011, he was never going to win. SE voters are spread all over the country, you can't use number of voters registered in SE to judge it. So significant is SE votes that Tinubu made conscious effort to prevent SEners in Lagos from voting in 2019. SW votes are usually useless, because you don't deliver block votes unless a Yoruba is contesting for the presidential post. If we subtract SW votes from Buhari numbers in 2015 and 2019, he would still have been the president, you have always been inconsequential in scheme of things as far as election numbers go. Your division into Xtianity and Islam ensure you are incapable of delivering block votes for anyone.
SE never gave GEJ Azikiwe, it was GEJ who did give himself the name, he was the one who came to Enugu and told us he was one of us and narrated the Azikiwe story of his name. At that point in time, many Igbos were working for IBB emergence at that time, with Igbo VP, because of PDP zoning arrangement. It was GEJ who used the apparatus of Nigeria military to scatter Igbo elders meeting in Concorde Hotel Owerri , where the likes of Ekwueme who were of the opinion that we should insist on PDP Northern presidency with Igbo VP, to ensure power returned to SE in 2015 or latest 2019 were disgraced by the military who locked up the hotel venue. It was after the incidence that Ohanaeze Ndiigbo stepped in and reconcilled the GEJ and IBB factions in Igboland , and there after chose GEJ as the Igbo consensus candidate for the 2011 elections. Bear in mind that the president of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo at that point in time was an Igbo from Delta state called Ralph Uwaechue. Saying Ndiigbo hijacked GEJ candidature is nonsense, in retrospect, GEJ hijacked and crushed our 2015 and 2019 presidential ambitions by using Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and Nigerian military apparatus. He forced himself on Ndiigbo and armtwisted us into supporting him, against the better advice of Igbo elders like Ekwueme. Imagine Buhari locking out Igbo elders from a meeting and the outroar it would have generated from Ndiigbo, but that's What GEJ did, and we took it without reactions. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/the-concorde-hotel-lock-out-of-igbo-leaders/
SS is more Important than Ndiigbo to Nigerians? Of course, when you have hijacked all the oil corporations meant for their land and kept the headquarters in Lagos where they employ mostly Yorubas and rendered their seaports deficient. They should be important to you. Ndiigbo are not interested in being important to anyone only slaves crave for such attention, and we are not one, we only want to stay off the negative energy you lots have polluted the dead British colonial entity with, Rwanda and Ethiopia are landlocked and without oil , yet shine brighter than Nigeria, Ndiigbo are so endowed with human resources that we would be just fine without you lots.
The IPOB are lacking on critical thinking now, that's why they have persisted in joining Igboland with the conundrum and babel in SS, all over Igbo forums, Igbo nationalists are strongly against putting Ndiigbo in another ethnically heterogeneous entity post Nigeria. IPOB members are constantly being slammed with facts, and I believe with time, they will bow to wisdom or lose followership in Igboland.
Igbo 2019 presidential ambitions were killed the moment Ohanaeze Ndiigbo reconciled Ekwueme faction with GEJ faction. Every sensible person knew power would return to North before coming to South again, after GEJ. We gave GEJ 98% votes, something SS have never given an Igbo presidential candidate and will never do. we will remember all this hogwash you are writin.... keep on talkin.... |
