Which mission?

Mention 1 Igbo soldier who won an advance during the Biafran war.

You can't mention any cos the Biafran Army made only ONE advance during the war and it was led by Banjo.

You bloody ingrate come here and talk trash about Banjo.

I repeat, where was your father when Banjo was leading the Biafran advance? He must have been peeling yam for women to pound. Efulefu.

Lies and lies from someone who knows nothing about the war.
Col Hannibal achuzie just to mention one.
The nigerians lost far more soldiers than the biafrans,the biafrans lost more civilians.
The biafrans push the Nigerian army out of Onitsha once in '67and out of Owerri twice in "69.
The abagana skirmish just to mention a few.

Nzeogwu is not an IBO man, he was from Midwest and he didn't carry the act as one, they wanted sanity and as a young major full of hormones, he organized a coup, which unfortunately had many people in north affected and he did that for awolowo too. The problem with Nigeria started with the youths and that's why the elders of today are afraid to relinquished power to youths, so that what happened in the 60s won't repeat itself. Assuming the killings targeted every tribes equally it wouldn't have raised sentiments. The North's are yet to forgive IBO's for the killings of their leaders.

So sorry to correct you,but Nzeogwu was an Igbo Man, though he was from the Midwest,an Okpanam man is an Igbo man.the problem is the ease with which the northern establishment blamed all igbos for the actions of a few,that is the genesis of the situation we are in today.

All this idiots that keep repeating''stealing isn't corruption''should stop quoting the ex-president out of context,not to apologize for his shortcomings of which there are many, but he clearly said looting and stealing should be called what it is stealing and not corruption. Period.
Back to topic,I won't because there is no need to.the position is lucrative enough without having to steal.

You don't get it, do you? It doesn't matter what a person makes front page for, if the tribalists on NL must continue with their childish tribalistic tantrums then it is paramount they get their facts right. An urhobo from Delta state committed a crime, urhobo is not an Igbo speaking tribe, people from Anomia or Agbor in Delta State are lgbo speaking communities with lgbo names like Okechuckwu, Obiora, etc but not Ochuko, Efe, or Tega.

I know who an isoko or uhrobo is,my point in case YOU missed it is that fratermathy could have said the same thing without throwing shade,GET IT??

fratermathy:
You guys should really stop this. Ochuko is not a "flat head" but an Urhobo/Isoko person. Even though he committed a crime, his ethnicity should be recorded well.

SMH
You are truly amazing,An Igbo from the same delta state made the same FP by being honoured with a directorship in Standard Chartered Bank today,and the first Uhrobo to make FP in an eon made it for Sex Crime in Norway,and you are here busy throwing shade at Igbos.Do you have no shame at all??
I would have said''receive sense'',but you are already an uhrobo man so that says it all.
If you are truly wise,a word should be enough for the wise.

WAT IS CRITICALLY REQUIRED IN THE SS ARE DEEP SEAPORT.

THIS CANNOT BE OVER EMPHASIZED.

SECONDLY, THE SS NEED TO CONTROL THEIR OWN RESOURCES. NIGERIA SHOULD LEAVE THEIR RESOURCES FOR THEM.

E DONE DO. I DONT BELIEVE IN EATING TO FINISH.

THIRDLY, INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SERVICES BETWEEN THE TWO REGIONS. THIS ARE LINES OF ACTION WE WANT O SEE THEM TAKING AFTER THEIR MEETING.

SS IS NOT OLD EASTERN REGION, THEIR IS NOTHING LIKE OLD EASTERN REGION.

WE ARE SE AND DEY ARE SS.

IF OUR LEADERS WANT TO PROVOKE US, LET US HEAR OLD EASTERN REGION AGAIN FROM DEM.

Please stop shouting.lol

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.

Listened to him yesterday, he even urged that the proposed local government autonomy bill under delibration be scrapped, so that the L.G should be forever under the control of the states,his is just clamouring for a mini dictatorship,in my opinion.

Chest-beating runs I the blood!

Empty barrels!

And it took Benjamin Adekunle to execute the highest massacre at that same Ore.

A devastating ambush by the enigma.

The British were not in Ore.

Fantasy that only happened in your mind.
Benjamin adekunle(black scorpion)first entrance into the war was as the head of the mechanized division that attacked from the Niger delta axis,he was replaced by Obasanjo due to his comments on War Crimes, a good year and a half after the Ore excursion.
There was no ambush in Ore,the Biafran forces retreated when it was clear that situation was untenable.
Kindly do proper research and stop listening to rumours.

HND holders are employing thousands of people ...if you doubt me go ask Slot Mobile Owner.
Stop hating and for once simply believe that Paper qualification has been killing our national development for a long time now.
Let's pay people for what they are able to produce in workplace.

And bsc holders are not productive in the workplace ??,I am an unbiased employer of labour ,and productivity in the workplace has got nothing to do with paper qualification, that said,it allows me to weed out the late achievers from the teeming throngs of applications,let me ask you,if you were so good,why couldn't you make your papers when others were making theirs,this attitude of reaping where you didn't sow ,wuruwuru to the answer is the problem with Nigeria,you didn't make the same results but you want the same pay.utterly ridiculous.
And when next you are in need of heart surgery, kindly request for a HND holder instead of a MBBS holder,

thats is if he could...
He might be the one with the problem.

True,but this is not always the case ,there is many cases where even after every analysis,thr couple will be found to be okay,and still no baby.
Conception is a miracle from GOD,today, a lot of people trivialize it,and think it is simple 1,2,3.
Remember whatthe parents of jacob,Samuel,Samson and john the Baptist etc,sometimes, it is deeper than meets the eye.

No matter what,he will always respect from people even his own parents.''come here sir,''' ''I am talking to you sir'',just that his girlfriends will be feeling funny when they are saying''i love you sir'',or hump me harder sir''lol

cristianisraeli:
i dont think so..because the first speaks of arabic was muslims..so how was it around b4 islam?i know hebrew have been there before islam because medina in saudi was a former jewish settlement before muhammed killed them and chased them away because they refused to accept him as a prophet

I am a Christian but also a historian of sorts,so of your statements are a misrepresentation of the facts.
Arabic predates Islam,it is an evolution of Aramaic, it is the preferred tongue of the peoples of the Arabian peninsula.when the jew were dispersed after the Maccabees uprising,the reigning Persian empire of the day brought in Arabs from the peninsula to settle on the land with the remnants of the Jewsthese produced the mixed people known as the Samaritans..by the time of Jesus,the commonly spoken language on the streets was Aramaic,Jesus spoke Aramaic casually(like pidgin is to english)but Hebrew is the preferred language of the synagogues.
Medina was a fully Arabic town with lots of Jewish settlers,not a Jewish settlement. It was an important city on the old Silk route,And Muhammad wages war on them because of their polytheism (idol worship)and historians will tell you that ,coming from the merchant caste, he knew that control of Medina,meant control of trade on the Silk route (taxes and duties)and also a fast way of dispensing his doctrine.so there are many side to the rise of Islam.
Just saying.

Those saying Boko Haram is part of the purported Islamization agenda should note that Boko Haram don't distinguish targets before they strike and everybody knows that since the inception of their terror campaign, they've killed more Muslims than Christians.

Therefore, if TY DANJUMA, Zamani LEKWOT and co want to also carve their own country, let them do that quietly without accusing Muslims of something they knew nothing about.

Ghana is a multi-religioud and multi-ethnic country but you hardly hear all these forms of baseless accusations coming from either of the religious or ethnic groups.

In Nigeria, Muslims are always accused of born to rule attitude, marginalization, sit tight syndrome, Islamization agenda, murder of Christians but yet still termed illiterates. How comes the illiterates acquire all those powers when we have the self-acclaimed literates present in the same country?

Let us kuku divide the country into pieces, we Muslims are tired.

Don't be exasperated, that is the bane of being a Nigerian.
All radical Islamic extremists have done far more harm to Muslims that any other religion,that is the irony..what people attack is their creed (to impose sharia by jihad on their perceived territory),by now you should know that enlightened folk know the difference btw a Muslim and a radical Islamic extremist (terrorist),

This is one of the things wrong with Nigerians and the way we think in this country.
I have no problems with equating salaries in federal institutions, but the F.G has no right to tell me who to hire or what to pay them in my organization. A b.sc can never be the same as a H.Nd because the entry requirements are different. Most people end up in polys because their SSCE's were not good enough or they couldn't make jamb.period. now giving them the same grade as people who work the asses off to earn B.Sc is unfair and ridiculous. Why don't we just scrap polytechnics then and make them all universities with the same basic entry requirements for all ??.then equate their grades and salaries.

Look up for @bolded clarification.

Correction,those power plants get gas supplied to them via pipes from the N.D, there are no gas generation and refining plants on site at those plants.

Please stop this.
Stop.

Why spread and promote division? ??

You'll have children of you don't already.
If this country goes into war, what is your date?

Where did he mention WAR,please??

Dumaknesset:
In your own words no casualties except policemen. Judge yourself. I noticed you conveniently left out my other points

Hypocrisy and hatred will calcify that your flaccid skull.

Several civilian lives were taken by biafran army, it is the truth, go and read your history very well not tales by moon light handed down by your grandma. I noticed you said, the Biafran soldiers were led by a Yoruba man, what is your point exactly, that it was a Yoruba man that killed civilians at ore. Hypocrisy is your first name.

Now I know I am talking to a child,I am talking from careful research done on the subject,I have interviewed people who partook in that excursion, look the counter offensive needed the element of speed to succeed, the biafran soldier had just enough ammunition,the real from fight they were looking forward to was at Dodan barracks,that was the original objective. Why would they waste precious ammunition on non combatants ??,
I mentioned Major Banjo because as an indigine he would never have allowed soldiers under his command to attack non combatant civilian, waste of resources.
It seems it is you that has to study the war carefully and properly before coming online with your lies,The Biafra army never set foot in Ore township itself .#fact. So stop lying. And for your info,I was born just 5 years after the war ended.so it is very much my era.

Dumaknesset:
I have always known that the present hatred of Nigerians can be traced directly to igbos parents, feeding their Children with bitterness and hate, why pretending to be Christian, little Wonder God hardly work with them, I hope this generation will not learn another bitter lesson.Igbo parents preach love and forgiveness and you might save your children

Unfortunately, nothing can save you from the bitterness and hate in your own heart,who are you to tell people how to mourn for their dead??,
You that God works with,you think that the best way to deal with (non combatants)people who lost their loved ones is to wish evil on them.then it seems that W.S post is roundly lost on you,keep spoiling for war and when it comes,kindly be on the front lines so you can teach them a more bitter lesson ,remember better fighters than you boasted that it will 3 weeks ''police action'',it turned into 30 months war of attrition with the Nigerian side losing more combatants than the biafrans,they had to resort to paying Egyptian pilots to bomb civilian centres and shoot down red cross planes to get the win,how utter shameful and dishonorable. So please keep running your mouth and when the time comes put your life where your mouth is.

Dumaknesset:
So you don't know civilians were killed at ore, and other places, please it was not only Igbo civilians that suffered psychological and psychiatric torture, you think the Nigerian soldiers lost in hundreds of thousands don't have wives, mother s, brothers etc that mourned them and are still mourning

Was the war not self inflicted or what do you think of an Igbo coup that waste d leaders of other region s why sparing theirs

You guys are always selfish and hypocritical. So the Nigerian soldiers that died are sub human abi.

Look,can your lies,I usually don't get involved in trash talk,but I hate lies,the biafran army did not kill civilians in Ore,stop lying,the contingent of soldiers were led by a Yoruba and was enroute to lagos,they camped about 5 miles beyond thet town,they never entered Ore town itself, kindly interview survivors of that excursion for proof.I don't know why you people like twisting the truth on it's head to score cheap points online,ask anybody from that time,the only casualties in that 3 day counter offensive were policemen stationed at old agbor junction who tried to stop the biafran contingent. Note,nothing good can be built on a foundation of lies.but it seems lying is in your DNA.

NtoAkwaIbom:
Truth is, this is what we should have done from the Beginning.
The North are aligned togeda..
but The minorities will not side with Igbos as they keep playing the Biafra card anytime, something happens. But the truth is, no one in his right sense will trade being a servant to master 2. when he could get his freedom.

However, Shelfin The miscreants away,
the South can align to form a force against the North in National Issues...

#I stand for a United South. #But I will forever fight against the South South being joined into slavery 2, Under Biafra.


oya Ipob Miscreants... take ur shots.. I am the Bullet proof Citizen of the creeks.

No need to wear your bulletproof vest,No shots fired,I am not ipob.nobody dey pursue you.
But what is your fascination with them, I might ask??,
So you think say na only for your side dem get creek??,I am from Imo state and creeks yapaaa.
What is the difference btw this group and the aforementioned ''Biafra'',no be the same states ??
Didnt you read their reason''common culture and heritage''??
I believe this group can be a strong counterweight to the biafran agitation if handled right.

Sterope:
West bomb Arabs. Arabs bomb west. Both are at fault. No blame game please.

Can you read some actual historical books, please?

What actual ""historical'' books, please??

Neddstark:
Didn't know this much about Chiwetel. Thanks for the lots of info

You are welcome,just chill with the other stuff,no be everything be about ethnicity, let's just celebrate ourselves sometimes without shade or feeling some type of way.after all, we all still family.

Neddstark:
Stop reasoning like a dullard. When Chi Onwuah corrected that she is British, not Nigerian, why didn't you complain? Chiwetel was not born in Nigeria. Never lived here. Stayed here only for the filming of "Half of a yellow Sun". His parents are immigrants in the UK Same we can say for Michael Oyelowo. As for Anthony Joshua, the young man has been shifting his life between the UK and Nigeria, although more in the UK.

By the way, the time you're using to profess tribal superiority online would have been better used to improve your thinking perspective.

And please stop throwing tantrums up and down,only a fool would deny that if you are raised by any ethnicity, no matter how much of a coconut (brown on outside/white inside fakers)you might be,you would still have an affinity for that ethnicity, note,ethnicity is not nationality,you can be British and still Igbo or yoruba.so stop with the inferiority complex.
P.s,chiwetel has been to his hometown in Enugu severely and was just recently there for his sister's weeding to a Yoruba chap.even the scars on his face are from an accident on our great Benin -Onitsha expressway, when he was ten.
Happy birthday chewy, you are an inspiration to your generation.

pazienza:
Why have Ndiigbo here decided to turn this thread to be all about Yorubas? What sort of fuckery is that?

Can't we just discuss our own issues and let Yorubas be?

Don't mind the kids who think throwing shade up and down willy nilly is helping whatever cause they are supporting, the day they learn to stop throwing insults and to disregard insults thrown at us will be the day I take most of them seriously.

Just today,I saw a bus load of cops pull up and demanded to search a young man phone,as I was passing in traffic,didn't the police p.r.o say this was illegal, Nigerian police is just incorrigible.

kumulus:
Are you saying Cannabis grow naturally in Osun State?

Cannibis sativa and indica grows naturally everywhere not just in osun state,it is very resilient plant ,hence the term ''weed'',I bet he's talking about the weed plantations in Osun.there are also in Edo,delta,ebonyi and crossrivers ,illegal plantations that have been busted and burnt down.but I bet this activities still go on underground.
And to the person you quoted, yes,U.S has started exportation of hybrid brand of weed such as Sour diesel(36% THC)from California for''medicinal purposes''.

I've learnt the hard way, many many times that I can't trust anyone. One minute it's all bliss, next minute, they've done a 360

You mean a 180,if they do 360,then they are still with you,say hi to Trusty for me,lol.
