Omo, you just shifting goal posts. Apc can't defend without looking stupid. I asked a question since we started yet na to shift goal post. Is the president the governor of Abuja? Yes or no?
The president is not the Governor of d FCT (cos the FCT has no elected governor) He however exercises executive powers over d FCT, same way the National Assembly members are not members of the house of assembly of the FCT (cos d FCT has no house of assembly) but they exercise legislative powers over the FCT. If d constitution wanted d president to be governor of d FCT, it would mandate that he also win majority votes in d FCT and score 1/3 of the votes in 2/3 of the area councils. Are u ok now?

I knew the name mix up was an unintended oversight. We understand. But that is where harmony ends between us in terms of the matter in discussion. You are well-informed regarding Section 134 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended and I quote verbatim:

“A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election, he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and must have nothing less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.”

Having regard to the very letter or even the intent of the forgoing, the conjectures or innuendos vis-à-vis what the real intent of the writers is, is a discretionary exercise. Will you also make these same arguments if any of Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar are sitting in Aso Rock tonight?.

I understand what's at stake, but we must endeavor to stand on the side of the truth as much as possible, or better still, at all times. This is one of such times.
My brother let me be honest with u. Yes am a Tinubu supporter but I doubt he actually won Rivers. Let's be fair. I had expected Obi lawyers to use the form ECO8 his agents signed and collected at d polling units to do a computation of their votes and come up with what they believe is the authentic votes, I was sure they would come out first. But they were fixated on transmitted result on IREV which is a secondary source and very unreliable, they brought a mathematician to do probability and deductions instead of going straight to d primary source document which LP agents ought to have. That's what Oshiomhole did in Edo in 2007/8 and Uzodinma did in Imo. Yes I have doubts also about d kind of scores allotted to Obi in states like Enugu and even Anambra where there was open intimidation. In Asaba I saw intimidation with my eyes, people were chased away and beaten for voting PDP and APC. Known PDP and APC supporters could not vote in a particular voting center in Asaba. But let's leave that for another day. Obi's lawyers failed to prove Rivers which I thought was a clear case for them though d margin still won't had changed d results. When they could not prove they won outright, they started seeking for disqualification and rerun. Unfortunately even if rerun was granted, it would be for the first and second, being Tinubu and Atiku. Obi came third, he can't leapfrog Atiku to second especially since he never joined Atiku as a party in the suit. Honestly Obi's lawyers sabotaged him, just listen to how d judges will berate them for their lack of deligent prosecution when they are reading the judgement.

As for FCT and 25%, my brother I have no doubt that d constitution does not require it. As I said am a Tinubu supporter but am not his zombie. I criticize him sometimes like d 8k he says he wants to give so called poor people and d billions he is giving to NASS members and even his free floating of d naira. Am only hoping that somehow it all turns out well. But as for any court removing him, guy forget that one, d train has long left the station.

this is not USA this is Nigeria, we don't practice USA laws. So does the whole of Nigerians also elect the senators that will represent Abuja? So you voted for the senator that is representing Abuja from your state right? The Constitution made it clear, that you need 2/3 and 25% in Abuja, because the president is the governor of Abuja. Meanwhile answer my question above thanks.

I also asked you, are the senators representing Abuja also serving as state legislators since there is no state house of assembly, After all the president serves as the governor of Abuja alone and the president of Nigeria, so do we eradicate the part of the senator?
The Senator I voted for does not represent Abuja but he makes law for Abuja. Abuja residents do not exclusively vote for the state lawmakers that makes laws for them unlike we in d states who exclusively vote for our own. All the 108 Senators and over 300 Reps are d ones that make laws for Abuja. Abuja residents never voted for them. Same way d President d whole of Nigeria voted for exercise executive power in Abuja. As NASS members were not expected to win in Abuja, so d President is not expected to win in Abuja.
Finally d constitution never made it clear that u must score 25% in d FCT. I don't know where some of ubgot this. It said score 25% of votes in 2/3 of the states and he FCT. Note that it did NOT say "score 25% of votes in the states and 25% of votes in the FCT." It rather lumped the states and FCT together. Ask yourself why!!

So we have established that fct indeed has a senator and also house of reps. Should we also say that The senator's in Lagos state are voted in by Lagos indigens to make law for the entire Nigerian's and not Lagos state as a state from your above presentation?. You have established that states produce senators to represent them, and not to make law for their states but for the entire nation. If that is the case, why should we give constitutional allowance to each senators to develop their states? After all they are to make laws for Nigeria and as such a Lagos senator should have the jurisdiction to build constituency roads in Kano state!. It makes no sense because senatorial seat is at federal level, we have state legislatures that makes laws for the state. For you to say fct reps only make laws for entire Nigeria is flawed, because what else is the work of the state house of assembly?. If states have house of assembly to make laws for them, my question is Does FCT also have state legislatures that makes law for them?if no then are the senators not serving the same purpose in state and in federal level for them?

In Lagos, the Senators they elect don't make laws specifically for Lagos but for d federation. They also elect house of assembly members who makes laws specifically for Lagos State. FCT residents don't enjoy that privilege of electing their own lawmakers in houses of assembly, d rest of Nigeria elect for them. Meaning that defacto they are actually lesser than a state. How do u now want such a territory to have veto vote over d rest of Nigeria? Is it to compensate them or what? In d US, their capital DC did not even have a vote in determining d president, only in 1960 where they now given a meager 3 electoral college votes. Pls don't overflog a dead horse, d judges will never inteprete d constitution in a way that elevates d residents of d FCT over d rest of us. It can never happen as that was never d intent of d law. As I said, d constitution NEVER said "25% of 2/3 of the 36 states and 25% of the FCT"

Are there senatorial seats in Abuja? If your answer is yes, Mr Philip adua was voted in by Abuja resident to represent and make lawas for them. There are also other senators. Who are the people that make laws? Legislatures.is a senator a legislature? If that is correct did I answer your question?
The FCT has only one Senatorial seat, d one previously occupied by Ajuda now by Senator Kingibe. No other senatorial seat. Then just two Reps. And they are not elected to make law for d FCT but to represent FCT in making laws for the entire federation. In other words d FCT does not elect their own lawmakers, d rest of Nigeria jointly elect lawmakers for d FCT. The argument that they should elect d president cos he is their governor by having a veto over d rest of us makes no sense. Now what stopped d framers of the constitution from saying that a winner must have "25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and 25% in FCT"? Was it for lack of enough ink in their pen or lack of enough writing space and paper?

You are still in error in your thinking. Certainly, your possession of the constitution shows that you are interested in your country's legal framework, but so do a lot of us as well.

I am not given to quoting from the book unless I have to, but if you indeed purchased and took the time to study the book, you would be familiar with the conjunction placed on the relationship between the FCT and the states in the context of the 25% requirement.

"And", means Plus. It is a separate requirement that has to co-join to make the whole. So, 25% of the votes in 2/3 of the federating states AND the FCT.

Tinubu fell short of the requirement, having allegedly obtained 18+ percent of these said votes. Allegedly, because we know that votes were simply allocated to him in various places.

The absence of a “normal” executive governor in Abuja prevented Tinubu from scaling over this threshold. There is no criminal structure such as we unfortunately find in our states to rig the votes for him in the FCT. This also explains why LP took the FCT senate seat.
What prevented the framers of the constitution from saying a winner must score "25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and 25% in the FCT"? Was it that their ink was not plenty enough or they didn't have enough paper or space to write it?

Wanna read through your arguments again?, because it doesn't make sense, is emotional and devoid of logic.

You argued that the law specified how your state governor is to emerge. Who is the law. The constitution as amended.

The same law you subscribe to, who is still the legal persona, the constitution, also stipulates that for a candidate to be seen to have been elected to the office of the president of the federation, he or she shall secure 1/4 of the votes cast in the FCT.

Since you agree with the dictates of the law (the constitution) with respect to how your state governor is to be elected, why does the dictates of the same law (the constitution) regarding how a president is to emerge unconstitutional?.

And finally, why would a candidate contest an election in which he or she is in disagreement with the ground rules without first seeking to set aside, the offending part of the law?.
You are d one claiming that for a candidate to win, he must score 1/4 in d FCT, the law never said so. Do u argue cos u hear your Obidients people argue or u actually have a hard copy of d constitution? I bought mine in 2009 and still have it. Nigeria is a federation. That federation is made up of 36 states and d FCT. The constitution says to be president u must besides majority votes also win 25% in 2/3 of d federation ( d 36 states and FCT). Why u guys single out d FCT for specialty is interesting but d judges surely throw out d petition. It flies in d face of common sense, no region is superior to the other

TheOldGods:
did tinubu get majority of the votes? No he didn't. Did tinubu win the state? No he didn't. The Constitution made is compulsory that Abuja must be the deciding factor. If you have to govern them, they have upper hands, upper power than every other state. The people living there are not superior but the state is. The same way Nigerians can't vote for your state governor because not all Nigerians know what you guys feel, who is better. Same way Abuja has right to choose their governor. The president is indeed the governor of Abuja as indicated in the constitution. So he must score 25% in Abuja that he is going to be the governor of.
Someone seeing ur use of the word "must" would think you are actually a judge. Do FCT residents determine who makes laws for them?

Surprisingly, APC in their defense show that FCT is not to be treated as a state of the federation and on the same hand not superior to any state of the federation but failed to oppose where it was mentioned in the constitution that a candidate must get 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states AND FCT.
They also said that FCT has no Governor and other things that the states have, the President and the Law makers oversee the affairs in the FCT and this means that the only way FCT dwellers can contribute on who governs them is through their ballot of which 1/4th must be in support of whoever that's going to emerge.
Do FCT residents vote for the NASS members who make law for them except their one Senator? Why must a President win 25% before he governs them? Why not outright win ? Giving FCT a veto over d rest of us is meaningless, was never d intention of the constitution neither is it in d letter if d constitution. Struck out

LOVEALAIGBO:
Dude, i know you’re deceitful type and, unlike a few many naive Igbo, i’m steps ahead of you!

Alaigbo, besides other solid minerals, is blessed with enough hydrocarbons to sustain us comfortably (domestic and for export) for decades to come! Besides the huge deposits of oyel and gas in Imo, Anambra and Abia, Alaigbo also has deposits in commercial quantity in Obigbo and Egbema/Ndoni! You have a problem with this fact….does it eat you up inside!?

Ndigbo have NEVER ‘appropriated’ what’s not ours! Such an act goes against our values of fairness and equity! If anything, it’s others who have wickedly appropriated what belongs to us or ganged-up to deny us our due….and you can see this play out in the structure and dynamics of Nigerias’ political-economy from the late 60s right up to the last charade that passed for ‘presidential elections’!

As you make all these wild and unfounded accusations against Ndigbo, could we also know your own ethnicity? Just so the argument is balanced and we can place your assertions in their proper context!

How is the strategy, or lack thereof, for seeking our emancipation from the prison and killing field of ‘one Nigeria’….how is it any of your fcking business! You want to know the strategy so you can sabotage it abi?

I can tell you for free that no Igbo….whether father or son is ‘shivering over any nonsense 30 months misadventure’! If anything they’re pitying you evil lot that you couldn’t withstand the Biafran military man-to-man on the battlefield, and had to resort to war crimes of food blockade that would target even non-combatants! Our fathers are shaking their heads in disgust at the depths you bloodthirsty scoundrels will sink to just so your leeching and parasitism can continue while you remain ‘compatriots’ with the very people you despise with passion! You do know the Biafran military killed more useless Nigerian soldiers than was otherwise the case!? The stock-in-trade of your murderous Nigerian military is to murder non-combatant men, women and children….a despicable act they’ve perfected and still carry on to this day!

Just WTF do you mean by ‘officially asking for referendum’!? Dude, are you for real!? I mean, who will ask….is it our useless, slavish, greedy and self-centred politicians or who exactly!? Can the Nigerian state, that has murdered thousands of innocent Biafra/Igbo agitators, pretend not to know what the people they’re murdering in cold blood are asking for!? Can the Nigerian state that went to the ends of the earth, contravening and riding roughshod on all international laws on the rendition of suspects….can the Nigerian state now pretend to be oblivious to what IPOB is agitating for!? The same Nigerian state that was holding international press briefings all over the place to complain about foreign countries supporting and shielding Mazi Kanu and IPOB!? What ‘representations’ did the people of Bakassi make before you handed over their territory to Cameroon with your tail between your legs and without even firing a shot!? Or it’s only when it comes to Ndigbo/Biafra that you rediscover your mojo and declare Nigeria is ‘indissoluble and indivisible’!?

Mention specifically how IPOB ‘tried to use insurgency to achieve a Obi presidency’! Between Peter Obi and his supporters on one hand….and Tinubu and his supporters on the other, who was more unreasonable, ran a campaign based on bigotry, ethnic baiting and a emilokan sense of entitlement!? Besides, every fair-minded Nigerian knew it was Igbolokan!

Back to your deceitful suggestion of ‘going through your representatives’! That amounts to sending those seeking secession on a journey they will never return from, and you know it! Isn’t it you ‘one Nigerianists’ that like to bang on about how secession is not in your Fulani constitution of Nigeria? So how will anything ‘secession’ be tabled before the national assembly when it can’t be discussed to begin with!? And, more to the point…..how will the same IPOB you’ve banned and declared ‘terrorists’, be able to have the freedom and space to ‘lobby or make representations’ to south-east assembly members!?

You know what i and every other sensible person thinks? We think all these useless unsolicited advice you lot like to dish out….they’re all part of the stalling process! IT’S YOU LOT WHO DON’T WANT NDIGBO OR BIAFRA TO LEAVE….NOT BECAUSE YOU LOVE US, BUT BECAUSE, JUST LIKE PHARAOH, YOU’RE AFRAID TO LOSE YOUR ‘SLAVES’ AND THEIR RESOURCES YOU’RE FEEDING FAT ON!

Don’t mind that guy! He knows exactly what he’s up to…….‘massive relocation to the SE’ indeed! Notice he didn’t say ‘….relocation to Alaigbo’ as his aim is to sneakily hold on to Igbo like me whose lands they surgically removed from the main Igbo geo-political territory and placed in the so called south-south so they can have easier access to our oyel and gas as well as deprive the general Igbo nation funds for development!

Like you aptly stated, these bigoted Igbo haters that come up with the line of ‘massively relocating to the SE’ are placing the cart before the horse! Last time we massively relocated to our region, we all saw how that was received by the same schmucks still despising us to this very day! They want us to ‘massively relocate to the south-east, while they continue exploiting our hydrocarbon resources, collecting taxes/VAT, and still have the last say on our economy from Abuja!

Another sneaky line they come up with is….’tell your representatives in the National Assembly to move the motion, or whatever, for secession’! Can you imagine our self-serving, subservient, kiss-ass ‘one Nigeria’ loving Igbo politicians actively and openly supporting the secession bid!? Anyone would struggle to picture the likes of Uzor Kalu, Okorocha, Umahi or even a Governor like Uzodinma, working tirelessly for the actualisation of a free and independent Igbo/Biafra nation!
Did u just say Ndigbo has massive hydrocarbon? Where exactly? Why do u like to appropriate what's not yours? Tomoro u will say people hate Igbos, it's cos of this coveteous attitude u guys have. Don't know if they teach u from d cradle but it seems to be a cultural problem.

What exactly is your strategy and timelines to achieve your Biafra? Is it to amass arms for war? Ask your father's, they still shiver at the thought of that 30months misadventure. Only alternative is referendum. Now do u expect d rest of Nigeria to give u referendum when u have not officially asked for it? Why not officially demand a referendum and put a fait accompli on d ground that would make Nigeria have no choice but to give u? That's what I suggested here. But my gut feeling is that u guys don't really want to go. U are just using Biafra as a negotiating tool to get d state power of Nigeria. It's already failed. Look at how u tried using IPOB/UGM and ESN to inflict insurgency to achieve an Obi presidency cos u somehow believed your northern masters d Fulanis used Boko Haram to blackmail d rest of Nigeria to achieve Buhari presidency! Your attempt failed. The result is a battered SE, ravaged by insurgency while d rest of d country has ignored u guys. Outline how u hope to get a referendum and we would all give it to u

PoliticsHow Ndigbo Can Get Their Country Peacefully by Odibembem(op): 7:41am On Jul 14, 2023
The truth is that majority of Igbos are sympathetic to IPOB and d quest for Biafra. Their elites may not be but the likes of Peter Obi have enough sympathy for them. And no one should deny a people what they genuinely yearn for. The demerits of a Biafra republic is not for the rest of Nigeria to force on Ndigbo, if that's what their hearts wants then the rest of Nigeria should make the process of achieving it less cumbersome for them.

Nations secede either through wars or legal secession. We have seen what happened in 1966, Ndigbo cannot use war to have their country, God forbid there be another war cos it's not worth it. So the war option is ruled out. The second option is referendum. This is the best option. But it has to be legal meaning the national assembly has to pass a resolution to that effect and even amend d constitution. Would they agree? Not ordinarily except d Igbos do something to indicate that d best option for both sides is for Igbos to go. So how do Igbos prove their readiness? Let me lay out what I think

1. Massive relocation of Igbos and their businesses to the SE such that other regions would feel d impact. Lagos would be empty, Kano, Kaduna, Benin, Port Harcourt and Abuja would all be empty.
2. Energizing the SE economy and integrating it economically and politically. Have uniform economic agenda, setting up functional intergovt agencies and setting up a SE parliament who can make inputs almost similar to laws for d entire SE.
3. SE governors gradually cede powers to a Governing Council of the entire SE
4. Members of individual State Houses of Assembly move motions for a referendum for an independent state. This of course is not binding but it sets everything in motion, it energizes the SE caucus in the National Assembly
4. Categorically define the geographical boundaries of the intending country and do not lay claim to any territory outside the SE. Allow the Igbos in the SS outside d SE or NC as claimed my MNK to make such claims themselves of any intention to join the SE in their Biafra. They have their Senators, House of Reps and House of Assembly members. Let them speak for themselves rather than d people of d SE speaking for d so called Igbos outside their region.
5. Study the trajectory of secession in Africa and the rest of the world, no magic or miracle will make their case different. Up till today, Abiyei province is yet to join South Sudan even though the legendary John Garang was from there. Donesk Region is still part of Ukraine even though it has ethnic Russians and Russia is a super power. Despite letting of blood for decades, Northern Ireland though overwhelmingly majority Irish peoplele have not united with the Republic of Ireland but still part of the UK. The SE for the sake of their Biafra that would bring them eldorado should make sacrifices, u can't be rigid in a negotiation while expecting the other party to shift their position.

Perhaps with the above, the rest of Nigeria would finally let the SE go and do it peacefully and they have the country that would be different from the present SE and different from d rest of Africa.

If however they cannot follow this part, please and please, stop the noise, stop indoctrinating your children negatively and let us all work for a better Nigeria knowing we have no other country of birth.

video of 2019 of a friendly banter. But what's wrong with you Ibos? U guys are a majority tribe in Nigeria but u cry and whine all around like a minority. Someone that doesn't know Nigeria would think Ibos are a tiny malnourished minority tribe. Ibos are like a first son in a family that's behaving like d last born. All these posts and crying and victimhood posts ridicules Ibos and honestly as a man who has so many friends from d SE, am ashamed for u guys

You no get work ni? What kind of hypocritic blackmail is this? Why can't you use the same energy to call on your lawless Government to release innocent Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by their own Court?
But the govt that arrested MNK is not in the SE, it's in Abuja. How will they feel d impact of your sit at home? The people your IPOB were flogging d other day, d people whose biz they destroy for coming out on Mondays, are they children or family of d govt in Abuja? How will torturing d people of d SE make d FG in Abuja release MNK? As u all say, d FG hates Igbos, don't u think with that they will allow u to continue to suffer your Igbo brothers and still not release MNK cos it doesn'tt affect them?
PoliticsRe: How Peter Obi Lawyers Smartly Used Tinubu's Witness Evidence To Nail Tinubu by Odibembem:
Afikoo:
It was an interesting legal fireworks in court yesterday as Tinubu Shettima Only witness Senator Bamidele Opeyemi was grilled by Peter Obi lawyers.
Bamidele who came with a report from ECOWAS to justify that the election was credible failed to admit the portion of the report that stated violence especially the killing of Labour Party Senator in Enugu when the LP lawyer pointed it to him.

He scored an own goal when he was asked about Tinubu drug case In the US.

Watch the court proceeding here .

Why do Obidients like to set themselves up for heart breaks and depression? Why not find out the following

1. What does d law says about disqualification by virtue of conviction?

A. There must be an actual conviction and it must be criminal conviction. It must have happened within the last ten years after which d person is no longer barred. It's very clear.
Also the conviction must be by a Nigerian court and in d absence of that d conviction must be registered in Nigeria.

So was there a criminal conviction of Tinubu? It's for d prosecution to prove there was. And how did they prove there was? CTC of court judgement. Did they produce it? No!

The defence produced a CTC of a report by d FBI thru US embassy emphatically stating that there was no such conviction. Should this not end d matter for Obidients? No. Lawyers must justify their pay to wack Obi's money and Obidients must construct something in their head and celebrate over it.

Was d judgement registered in Nigeria? Did d prosecution bring CTC of d registration? No!
Did the so called conviction happen within d last ten years? No! It happened 30 years ago., 1993. Go and read Section 137 (e) of d constitution

Obidients, why not stop fooling yourselves!!

Jokers! What about the waiver clause in the party constitution? they didn't raised the matter as a pre-electoral matter? Why was he cleared by INEC. Same viscious cycle of defending a criminally acquired electoral mandate
Obi can only enjoy waiver if he was a member of the party. 30 days prior to election Obi was not a member, cut off date to submit register of members to INEC, how does Obi now enjoy waiver as non member? Except u all agree it was wrong for Obi to question d validity of d nomination of Tinubu a d Shettima, then this case is justiceable and Obi is going down

For INEC to call only one witness in defence against Atiku and Obi is d greatest disrespect in d history of electoral litigation in Nigeria. With all d noise made by Obidients and the loads of meatpie and egg roll boxes Obi brought to court, one would had expected INEC to reply them with equal measure. But just one witness and boom, they knock out Obi and his case. That shows d weight of d evidence presented by team Obi as perceived by INEC. Obi should be angry with INEC and his own lawyers. Infact Obi should sue INEC for utter lack of respect. This is not acceptable, it's a disgrace of monumental proportions

And I am simply telling you that whatever you think you have, IGBOS will match you in it, anything
And if you think you are BETTER than IGBOS anywhere, you may want to prove that you me because you haven't said anything as regards to that then you can give the IGBOS in nigeria an advice on what they should do in nigeria and you should be sincere for onces and tell them exactly what you will do if you are in the position of IGBOS in nigeria and tell us what you will do too if that your advice will fail.
Buhari has proved what he is and what he can do and 90% of nigerians said he failed, so what can such one say about IGBOS? We rejected him twice because we know he is nothing and we have been proven right, you chose him twice and he failed you twice and I know you will still take him again if given the chance, that says much about you, dot in a circle Belgium is not smaller than old imo and Anambra state inside the dot in a circle but Belgium is far far better and in every way than nigeria, and you will give your right hand to even visit Belgium not to talk of getting a residence there, this dot in a circle statement says all about who made it and those glorifying it like you, that's thats the shit hole, enjoy your nigeria.
You see again how dumb you are? That IGBOS demand that the port in your own house should be developed to match that of Lagos and you are saying we should not sat that because it doesn't belong to the IGBO, we can see who isn't feeling inferior, and they spent money to send you to school
My first holidays to the UK was way back 2006, flew on d defunct Afriqya airline and transited thru Tripoli and landed at Gatwick, (return ticket then was 65k) just to let u know visiting Belgium is no big deal. But back to d discus, no one is dragging anything with Ndigbos in Nigeria, rather they are d ones dragging with everybody. Only them are making comparison trying to do what we call Okoro feeling funky. Regarding those ports, it's solely not in d hands of d FG, the host states are to be d game changers if we want to make a headway after all Lagos and not FG built Lekki port. I hate calling others to do what u can do for yourself. We of d Niger Delta will hold our govs and drag them to make our ports viable so ndigbo will make less noise. Their noise is just getting too irritating.

I wanted to read and pass but when I read where you said IGBOS and inferiority complex, there you are wrong and I think you know it and psychologically you proved that you are the one suffering from that inferiority complex, a person suffering from inferiority complex will not stand against the whole shit hole hole like nigeria, and some world powers and all arabs for all of three years and half, I don't think that you will accuse an inferior group of tryny to suppress and take over your land and subdue you, as you and your type claim, I think you are the one suffering from inferiority complex here, because it's clear that all the degradation in your place are cursed by the people you are pandering to, are the IGBOS making the decisions in nigeria, we are saying here and asking why the federal government will not develop the sea port in calabar and port Harcourt as they are doing that of Lagos and you are here blaming and insulting IGBOS for saying that,
I know that there are people who see the CHAINS AND SHACKLES on their hands and legs as ornaments of gold and diamond, no problems, it can only become a problem when you begin to want everyone else to see things your way and be insulting those that don't see things your way, you are joining yourself to those enslaving you and calling IGBOS inferiorior? What exactly do you have that is not in abundance in IGBO land? Oil or gas or intelligent people? Who exactly are this we south south?
Are Igbos the owners of Calabar and Port Harcourt or Warri? Why are u crying over their ports? Besides it's not about developing a port, if it was so GEJ would had developed that in PH or Onne in his five years as President. It's about how lucrative it is to attract ships. By d way d port in Onne is very functional, if u like u can make better use of it,no one is saying u must use Lagos. And u seem not to understand d meaning of "inferiority complex". If u feel u are somehow not adequate enough, u would keep struggling to highlight what u think u are cos u feel others see u as less. But if u know u are a big boy, u feel relaxed, no need to start making noise for people to see u cos u know who u are. The Ibos seem to feel no one notice them, that's why they keep screaming for others to see them. They should calm down, there are far smarter ways of getting what u want. Truth is that d rest of Nigeria actually knows u guys are screaming for nothing, u don't have d most important ingredients for a great nation. Buhari called u a dot in a circle. He wasn't stupid

I believe there most be something special, out of the ordinary, that only the SE region know about SS oil. Because I don't understand the desperation and eagerness to attach by force to a region that has constantly, times without number rejected your approach

An Ibo can forgive you for insulting Ojukwu and Kanu, but once you say SS is not part of SE, that's wehen you will see his other side! grin

There is something the SE is not telling us, but the north won't be caught off guard. Do henceforth, we the north are part of SS too, let us all be mad together! grin

north/SS grin
It's these IPOB zealots alongside their offspring the headless mob that are making d SE appear beggerly. They have made d SE now appear like d weakest zone in d whole country, d only zone that's trying to affix itself to another zone, d only zone that's always abusing others in seeking for validation. SE is d only zone u will see post images or pictures of their towns or sons and claim they have d highest number of billionaires, they will claim that other people in other zone belongs to them. SW doesn't do it to d people in Kwara or Kogi rather it's d Kwara and Kogi people that remind us their kith and kin are in d SW, NW does not do it to d Fulanis in Nasarawa or Adamawa, why only SE? The inferiority complex is just too much and they should stop d embarassing behavior
