Cantonese:
Yes. Those who used their "poverty" to teach you skull mining, according to you, which you have permanently clung to and still struggle to deal with the abject poverty in your own lands. What can you do without them?

Even your people have made "eba Ibo and egusi" their favourite delicacy.

Igbo people skull mining is second to none and it happens daily in your baby factories strewn all over Nigeria.Babies and infants are daily been skull mined and even eaten.


Secondly you have hallucinations just like your ancestors...

Biafra has the best army in Africa- Runaway Coward Ojuku.

We developed Indonesia- World bank acclaimed Poverty Stricken Igbos

Cantonese:
Bros so you mean that the you will abandon the idea of getting rich quick? If the Igbos leave and take their properties along, how can you develop your cities and villages again?

lol

Are you talking about the poverty stricken Igbos
from Igboland or some other people?

sulaak:
Abuja is in the Middlebelt, but I get your point. What is Ekiti, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, and Oyo doing in term of real infrastructure development?

That Ekiti ehn?
I shame for Fayemi and the previous gov.Fayemi is a total let down.As for Osun,Ogun,Oyo,Ondo....they are trying but mainly by their former govs except Akeredolu who has tried a little.
Infrastructures make a nation and helps its economy a lot.
After Lagos,I think the city with the most infrastructures in Nigeria is Ibadan.
Most of its structures were built during the golden time of the SW.Shame to the subsequent leaders.The same with Nigeria.

Cantonese:
So now that your people have discovered the secrets of using fellow humans to get rich quick, how can you take away the technology from them when the Igbos leave? Now that your people are champions of them game how can you help them?

"A woman teamed up with her son and a native doctor to cook the flesh of the boy's pregnant undergraduate girlfriend and eat, in the bid to make quick money". So tay your people even eat human flesh. Na waoh!

Remove Igbos from SW and skull mining will disappear and follow the Igbos back to its origin.

Cantonese:
"Igbos exported skull mining to the SW". Hahahahahahaha. Who knows how old you were in the days of otokoto. I know that as usual the story was handed down to you by your elders.

Going by your comment one can safely say that the southwesterners perfected skull mining. Took over. Made it the major source of livelihood and started the exportation nationwide and worldwide. Ordinary home southwest home videos we cannot watch peacefully without seeing how money rituals are perpetrated

Remove Igbos from SW and skull mining will disappear and follow the Igbos back to its origin.Your richest,most agile and the most criminally minded have all sought succor to the SW.They brought along their skull mining culture too.
Remove Igbos from SW and criminality will be greatly minimized.

Cantonese:
Stupidity may be the problem. Remember the saying that "all dog dey chop see, na the one dem see am for im mouth dem hold.

I am not a carrier. But you can show us how your people do theirs safely.

Yorubas and other tribes do it too but before you see 1 Yoruba,you would have seen 1000 Igbos.A white man,Prof Ellis had to write a book on the criminality of the Igbos ala drugs.
He traced the Igbos even up to their villages.It is online..

Rawhumper:
You forgot to talk about the HQ of skull mining in Nigeria and the West where people look behind them while walking out of fear of been beheaded from behind....there is nothing worse than that.

Since i registered in nairaland this my first time of releasing picture below to support you bro.

Igbos invented skull mining with Otokoto and Okija shrine millions of heads. Igbos then exported the skull mining culture to the SW through Clifford Orji.
Igbos exported skull mining to the SW as millions of Igbo refugees arrive SW monthly.
They come in droves everyday.I bet their heads have been mined and new arrivals are preparing to still migrate to the SW.

Remove Igbos from SW and skull mining will disappear from SW and still continues in its natural space where it originated from which is Igboland.Every crime has an Igbo face.Ask baby factory chairman..

Cantonese:
Because the south westerners have better ways of packaging. Those who use charms know their techniques very well. Those who carry in babies pampers know their ways. Their actors/actresses know their ways. Their old mamas even know how to package very well!

lol
Are you a carrier too?
Are your own people very stupid because they are caught almost on a daily basis?

Samakus:
How can you offer such an incentive to an Afonja? You know that they're usually cowardly. There's no way he will leave Ewedu and venture out of his comfort zone. Ngwanu, give nwannaa the offer. My pm awaits

lol

Another criminal beating his chest criminally.

Igbos are lazy people.They are too lazy to do genuine business except criminally induced petty trading.
Yorubas are not criminally minded like that sir.
Yorubas are genuine business minded people who have continuously shone light on the image of not only Nigeria but Africa and the world.

Oh

superlightning:
You again with your revisionism!!!! every year you concoct half-truths here in nairaland and we keep exposing and debunking your half-truths. Now you have come again. Don't you ever get tired of deluding yourself and others?

Continue to deceive yourself. Truth is bitter.



Ironsi's broadcast to the nation - May 24, 1966.


"The Regions are Abolished': Ironsi's Broadcast to the Nation banning
Political Parties and introducing Decree No. 34, 24 May 1966.



Fellow Nigerians:
During the past two weeks I presided over meetings of the Supreme
Military council and the Central Executive Council at which many
important state matters were considered. . .
It is now three months since the Government of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria was handed over to the Armed Forces. Now that peace has
been restored in the troubled areas it is time that the Military
Government indicates clearly what it proposes to accomplish before
relinquishing power. The removal of one of the obstacles on the way
is provided for in the Constitution (Suspension and Modification)
Decree (No. 5) 1966 which was promulgated by me today and comes into
effect at once.
The provisions of the Decree are intended to remove the last
vestiges of the intense regionalism of the recent past, and to
produce that cohesion in the governmental structure which is so
necessary in achieving, and maintaining the paramount objective of
the National Military government, and indeed of every true Nigerian,
namely, national unity.
The highlights of this Decree are as follows:
The former regions are abolished, and Nigeria grouped into a number
of territorial areas called provinces
Nigeria ceases to be what has been described as a federation. It now becomes simply the Republic of Nigeria.
The former Federal Military government and the Central Executive
Council become respectively the National Military Government and the
executive Council. All the Military Governors are members of the
Executive Council. A Military Governor is assigned to a group of provinces over which and subject to the direction and control of the Head of the National
Military Government, he shall exercise executive power. In order to
avoid any major dislocation of the present administrative machinery,
the grouping of the provinces has been made to coincide with the
former regional boundaries. This is entirely a transitional measure
and must be understood as such. The present grouping of the
provinces is without prejudice to the Constitutional and
Administrative arrangements to be embodied in the New Constitution in
accordance with the wishes of the people of Nigeria.
The National Military Government assumes the exercise of all
legislative powers throughout the Republic subject to such
delegations to Military Governors as are considered necessary for
purposes of efficient administration.
The public services of the former federation and regions become
unified into one national public service under a National Public
Service Commission. There is a provincial Service Commission for
each group of provinces to which is delegated functions in respect of
public officers below a given rank. This rather drastic change will
probably involve a reconstitution of the existing commissions, and
the National Military Government reserves the right to do so in the
manner stipulated in the Decree. Until this is done, the present
Commissioners continue to act in their posts. Every civil servant is
now called upon to see his function in any part of Nigeria in which
he is serving in the context of the whole country. The orientation
should now be towards national unity and progress. I expect all
civil servants to co-operate and to consult at all levels, vertically
and horizontally, between groups of Provinces and between Provinces
and the Centre.
People are aware that Study Groups have been set up to look into
various aspects of governmental activity. One of them is concerned
with problem relating to the Constitution........Read More here:

Yea

ibietela2:
Thanks... Some people are twisting history... By the way you didn't add that the FG pays the state from what they gather in few states.

Igbos betrayed all Nigerians but God never forgets the evil doers.Repent and apologize to all Nigerians now. Fulanis too will meet their waterloo and the blood of the innocents will forever hunt them..

OROSUNBOLB:
Adekunle Fajuyi,undoubtedly, one of the real but unsung heroes of Nigeria. A brave soldier and an Omoluabi per excellence !

He laid his life for his country, his boss (an Igbo man - Ironsi) and to uphold the professionalism of his profession ! What a man ! When the military killer party arrived at the government house in Agodi,Ibadan,they pleaded with him to hand over Ironsi to them. He declined by informing them that Ironsi was his guest and that he was responsible for his safety. He said he would rather die with him than to hand him over to them. They were both executed thereafter.

How do we define bravery again ? Isn't courage in the face of a certain calamity ? Col. Iluyomade braved all odds to face battalions of invading Biafran army at Ore with less than 200 men ! He knew he was grossly outnumbered and that the equipments at his disposal were no match for the biafrans but he told his men to hold their lines and fight ! He won the battle.

MKO Abiola refused to give up on the mandate freely given to him by Nigerians. He refused to back down even in the face of death. He did not run away cowardly and even refused political asylums offered by the world powers. Today,he is the father of the nation's democracy.

Yorubas are great,courageous and brave people who will never run away in the midst of battles. As a people,we are lovers of peace because we have paid our dues on the battlefield. We fought war more than any tribe in Africa.

I love Yoruba people, I love my people !

Some runaway Ivory coast cowards will still wail against this fact.

olaniyilukman:
It is sad that this man together with Adekunle Fajuyi was killed in Ibadan, this particular line explain Yoruba as the laziest ethnic group in Nigeria. How unearthed will a northerners come down to your state and killed your own... It is a pity I am a Yoruba man

But it is the same just not up to 200 Yoruba soldiers that destroyed and decimated battalions of Igbo biafran armies at Ore.What a shame!

Dedetwo:
When will Nigerians get commonsense? It was foolhardy for a person to have abrogated regionalism yet appointed regional governors. The regionalism in Nigeria was killed by the fool who created 12 states because eastern regional governor performed the function on the reason behind regionalism. The eastern regional governor opposed his usurpation of power at center.

Are you just unintelligent or you are just being naughty?

This is Irons I speech where he abolished regionalism...

AbumChetachi:
His so called brothers that initiated the coup are also included in your map of Niger Delta so you can say that Niger Delta are the ones that did the first coup

So if the Igbos in Ibadan or Lagos do a coup,it is done by the Yorubas just because SW is for Yorubas,abi?
Use your head for once,pls.

Ok

kingzizzy:
His people were already being massacred in 1945 and 1953 so lets not pretend as if the pogrom wasnt already an ongoing periodic thing long before there was any coup.

Igbos,to say the least are gullible. These core Northeners have been killing you from time immemorial but you continue jumping into any sack they jump into.....NPN,PDP....name it,the Igbos will go there thinking that Hausas are mumus whom they will easily overwhelm but hear them crying now when all their overtake Nigeria plan went overboard as the Hausa-wannabes(Fulanis) continue to wreck havoc on Nigerians not minding that Nigeria folds up or not as long as their kith and kin control the sinking Nigeria.
God will punish all of you that turned my fatherland to what I am now praying to break.
Including Obasanjo,the Anambran Igboman who has consistently gone against Yoruba leaders and anything that will give progress to Yorubas.

What is OSU alusi

God will surely disappoint these politicians with their punishments in this world except they repent quickly. Very wicked souls..

PHijo:
" I asked, if you make derivation 25 percent, how does that save we Yorubas that have no oil? When my children will come and read in history that I was part of the people that said derivation should go to Ijaw people?".
- Adefuye

It would be just and fair to say the Yoruba are worse than the Fulani.

Another OSU logic.
Adefuye,a single man opposed it and Afenifere who were more supported it but your OSU mind and heart still do not understand... Tueh for your OSU lineage.

amuwo1980:
Note the name senator ade whatever , he is one of the Igbo haters , this is all part of the game plan to install an afonja in 2023, it will never happen rather it will stay in the north , never ever . Nigeria is not ready for an afonja president again

Is it ready for an OSU president?

Progressives..

ZZ22:
That's afonja for you. Anywhere belle face, anywhere there's ewedu even if na devil dey cook am. This thief campaigned for Buhari he didn't wait for disasters that came with Buhari to be over he is now in forefront campaigning for Tinubu. Selfish and evil people.

What is this OSU saying?

mekysmart123:
All these nonsense started from Chino and Abagworo. Go to Facebook and see hordes of Igalas rewriting histories to claim Igbo communities and land, in the name of migration that is hooked on story-lines.
When we Igbos, throw jabs on each other, in the name of cyber war, our enemies stick around to take advantage over spoils. As it's popularly said, when two brothers fight, strangers inherit their father's estate.

I think it is a common knowledge not insinuated by Chino or anybody.

EMEAGWALI REPLIES
Nwannem nwoke dalu:
Thank you for taking the time to visit my Web site and share your thoughts with me. I was out of town when your email arrived and it took me awhile to read my past email. Your write-up is thought provoking and I hope you don't mind my posting it on http://emeagwali.com.
Let's look at the timeline.
In the 1560s: Eze Chima and his descendants left Benin. As many as one in four Igbo-speaking people are the descendants of people that emigrated from Benin Kingdom.
In the 1560s: The Benin Kingdom produced its first powerful Oba, named Esigie. All Obas derived their wealth, power and mystique from slave trading.
In the 1560s: John Hawkins took the first African slaves from The Slave Coast to Haiti.
What was then called the Slave Coast was later renamed Benin Kingdom, Nigeria, Gold Coast and Ghana. The word "Onitsha" is a corruption of the word "Orisha." The religion Orisha is practiced among Yorubas and Haitians.
Just as we shortened the name "United States of America" to United States or America, similarly the name "Orisha Edo" was corrupted to "Onitsha Ado" and then shortened to "Onitsha." The proof is that the web site for Onitshans is not onitsha.com: it is onitshaado.com.
People did not travel far in the olden days. In fact, three of my four grandparents never travelled more than ten miles from the place they were born. Therefore, it is not possible for Eze Chima to travel 200 miles through the rain forest to Benin and then return homeward in his lifetime.
It will require an entire book to expound on the Onitsha-Igbo-Yoruba-Edo connection. In the future, I will provide details that prove that as much as one in four Ndi Igbo were descendants of refugees that were fleeing slave raiders. Igbo elders have a saying that "when you see a lizard running in the daytime you know that something is after its life." The mass migration that forced Onitsha people to resettle in the east bank of the River Niger was a result of their flight from the Oba of Benin and his slave raiders.
Kene ezi na ulo gi,

AustineJohn908:
So it is the SW and the north that has credible leaders now like Thifnubu, HellRufia, or the lying Pastor?
Anyways no wonder Nigeria will keep being this way till una get sense so no be by Region, make we choose the right person for the job. all Nigeria cities are same, Useless and Underdeveloped.
The way this Presidency thing dey do una I just wonder Sha. because no be say the President the impact positively for him own Region....check out Buhari, Katsina and the north in general.
Check out Gej, Bayelsa and the SS.
Check out Obasanjo, Ogub and the SW
all have one thing in common, Underdevelopment, Poverty, Illiteracy, Poor leadership, Corruption etc.

So in other words we should most probably bring a white man to come rule us cause we can't rule ourselves

Use your head,pls.
We can rule ourselves.SW was ruled by Yorubas and it was the most developed and progressive place in Nigeria and Africa until you people spoilt everything with jealousy,envy and the pull him down illness in your hearts.
Yorubas are wealth creators and great developers.Obasanjo had severally shown that he is a fake Yorubaman.A lot of Yorubas do not like him because he has consistently gone against Yorubas and Yoruba leaders.

BIGGESThead6:
IGBO only have 4 States in this Country. Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia.

This is basically true o.
Reading the history of Onitsha,Anambra makes one to understand that there are s lot of Igalas,Binis who are the royals and Igbos.I think everybody in that space is called Igbo now.
