noise makers.
Udom was a banker too

Peter Obi and Willie Obiano are bankers too.

But I still rate Soludo far higher. It's not necessarily about banking. It is about the level of one's competence.

Silliness is mistaking Academic professorship with excellent public administration.

Administration is not 1+1=2

Soludo is a better strategist and a better manage of men. Case closed

EmekaA125:
Peter Obi was exceptional as a governor.
He came joint winner with Gov Fashola of Lagos State in Silverbird award for good governance held in Lagos 2013. He did wonders with ANIDS and his giant strides are still speaking enormous volume of him till date. Obi is an institution.

Believe me, he is mediocre.

Judging by Nigerian standard, he is alright. And don't rate those awards. They receive money from governors and ex governors to do their bidding.

Peter Obi is a chronic micromanager, whose commissioners needed his signature before their malfunctioning official cars are repaired by mechanics.

Just wait and experience the regime of Soludo, to know how governance should be carried out

chily11:
Soludo has the will to reform the governance of Anambra state just like Peter Obi. If he wins the primaries then he's the winner of the November polls.

Peter Obi is not in the same class as Soludo.

People like Soludo, Kingsley Muoghalu, Maduka, Festus Odimegwu are in a class of their own. Ngozi Iweala may make it into this list

Both Soludo and Maduka are heads and shoulders above any Nigerian sitting governor, or indeed any governor that has governed since 1999

Anambra is blessed

referendum01:
Your mothers labour on the day of your birth was a complete waste and punishment to that woman. If she had known, aborting you would have saved her all the miserable stress. Continue ranting and dont get serious with your miserable lifeless soul.

Shame on you!

All this your bad belle, because God blessed Igbos with abundant gas.

Let me give you a brief history lesson.
In the old Eastern Region, coal was discovered in Enugu and it was used to finance most of the projects then.
Coal money built Portharcourt, Obudu cattle ranch and every other major project easterners had then.

Enugu people didn't for one day start claiming OUR COAL. They did not make their fellow Igbos feel alienated from the coal revenue, and they definitely did not go alienating the eastern minorities with the OUR COAL mantra.

The little that coal brought in, we all enjoyed and Enugu people did not go selling the east out, to the Fulanis.
Immediately oil was discovered,. Adaka Boro and co started the now known OUR OYEL ranting, alienating everyone and undermining the east by entering into secret conspiracies with Fulani terrorists, which eventually led to Fulanis now controlling Nigeria's oil resources.

For many decades Igbo areas that produced oil were increasingly being ceded to non Igbo states just to financially emasculate the Igbos.
In the entire SE, no meaningful federal presence as Igbos were constantly reminded that they were bringing in nothing to the centre.
Every Igboman remembers.

Today Igbos are gradually getting to know that gas resources has been handed to Ndigbo by God himself.
And you expect them not to scream it from the highest heavens. So far, no Igbo has been considered worthy enough to be the Nigerian president for many decades.

Our gas is a gift from God, and unlike coal, we Igbos will make sure every dime benefits Igboland only.

Kandeed:
I guess the remaining 10% is in the SW. anyways SW and SE are one so there'd be no gas storage btwn both region as you can send to us so we to can also send to you

The remaining >10% are located in non-Igbo-speaking areas of the SS and also in the Yorubaland.

Conrod:
And we must be ready for anything and everything if we must secure it for our good.

If it never touched the country to elect any Igbo as the president for so many decades, I don't see why we should share our God-given natural resources with such haters and wicked people.

Ibadanpikin:
According to department of petroleum resources,Nigeria has about 202 million trillion cubic fit (TCF) natural gas reserve and about 70% are domacile in south east.Their are other unproven gas reserve fields in SE.Currently seplat,nnpc,shell and total jointly(Although their share holding percentages differs)are currently building the largest greenfield gas processing facility in Nigeria in the Assa north-Ohaji egbema 4 trillion cubic ft gas field.About 600 million worth of gas will be processed each day.The project is worth about $700 million dollars.South east is not barren has portrayed by zoo animals.CC erasethedot

You also have to point out that more than half of the gas reserves in the SS are in Igbo-speaking areas. When added to the gas reserves in the SE, Igbos have in their possession, more than 90% of the gas reserves in Nigeria, and arguably the largest gas reserves in Africa.

God is deadly. No one knew he would wipe away Igbo tears this way

sweetshisha:
He is a Northerner not my brother

Besides death by accident isn't victory for Ipob

They are picking you up one by one and you are making noise

No more police and army checkpoints, just like ESN ordered.

So far the order is being obeyed by the Nigerian military and Police.

Buhari is also now asking for dialogue. ESN and UGM have raped the Nigerian security forces

seunmsg:
Federal government’s ban on Twitter is finally paying off. This same guy celebrated the killing of police officers and burning of correctional facility in Imo state. He tweeted severally about how Police and Soldiers will be killed in the south east. He’s now changing mouth and trying to behave with civility.

Not at all. He still celebrates the killing of terrorists in police and army uniforms. He is only just telling you the killings are not being carried out by ESN.

Even till today, Buhari's checkpoints have disappeared, so we Igbos are eternally grateful to ESN and unrelated UGM

Well done to ESN and unrelated UGM.

No more extortionist checkpoints in Igboland

mytime24:
Mayb is buhari foot soldiers
That's killing and burning d police stations in d SE

very very likely

IJOBA11:
GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE


WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY AND YOU ARE HERE MEASURING D1CK WITH YOUR FELLOW SOUTHERNER WHILE BOKO HARAM AKA FULANI HERDSMEN ARE KILLING AND RAPPING OUR PARENTS AND SISTERS IN OUR TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

I have read many of the your submissions. Your agenda is a noble one. You constantly seek to unite the south, and I commend you for that. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Well done sis.

I hope my fellow Igbos on this forum will recognise your effort

theTranslator:
So Igbo coupers killing the sardauna and igbos mocking them doesn't justify it?

Snap out of ipob world
Come to real Life

That's why Igbos now want Biafra. Freak confederation

Difrent:
Revisionists
1966 WAS AN IBO COUP......NO AMOUNT OF REVISION CAN CHANGE THAT
Nobody said NO SINGLE NON IBO participated in the coup, the MAJOR actors were Ibos and were mainly officer , Major and above not all these privates and sergeants you listed above

Who are the Igbos above the rank of Major, that took part in that coup?

And for your information, it was Igbos that quashed that coup. Now give us names of northerners that quashed the July 1966 coup

theTranslator:
Ojukwu was too clumsy and in a rush
If he waited and continued trying and didn't declare Biafra,we might(Nigeria) have been one of the best nations today
The killings in the north were kinda justified
Their sardauna and many of their elites were killed by a majority and Igbo led coup

Ojukwu only declared Biafra when he was removed from office and the east was split by our enemies. There was no point in Ojukwu waiting again.

Millions died because Fulanis rejected confederation by Ojukwu. Since then a lot of blood has been spilled.

Biafra now sounds better to the Igbos

Ladiesdoctor:
How about the killing and maiming of security personel?
How about the destruction of the security properties?
Police Stations, Military Posts, Security vehicles all destroyed by the ESN.
Your agitation has been derailed completely.
You started playing the role that the government want you to play.
Now, your agitation has turned to terrorism

ESN is different from UGM.

This fact has been made clear several times

Ekpeitit:
So Biafran army lasted only 2 weeks?
In spite of all the noise on Nairaland?
No wonder they are looking for attachment everywhere, they can't fight alone.

ESN operatives are sending Fulani terrorists to God in Delta state already.

And a lot of soldiers have eaten the dust.

The icing on the cake is that Buhari surrendered and is now asking for dialogue. Good job ESN and UGM

Buhari surrenders and asks for dialogue.

Meanwhile, ESN is uprooting Fulani terrorists from Delta state

pricklewane:
How miserable is your father n you now without the Fulani double crossing you ?!
When people argue Igbos are fools I use to think that was harsh but we all can attest to the fact Igbo is the most foolish tribe in Nigeria today.

When Fulanis started oppressing Yorubas, my people also joined in the coup that uprooted Balewa and co. But your people are realnslaves that chose to fight with their slave masters, against the freedom loving igbos

tutudesz:
They can only operate in Delta North, anything outside na lie. Dem no born even Kanu to step into Delta south or central.
So clam down

Those guys were not speaking Igbo so they must be operating in Delta south or central.

Very painful to you

pricklewane:
And you are not even ashaned to admit Azikwe chose to be a slave in a govt he should head because Awolowo had a ploy ?!

It is always better to work with someone who is not trying to double-cross you, than with someone who is planning to double-cross you. No shame in it

theTranslator:
Well that's the fault of Igbo

Awolowo offered Azikiwe real presidency with a coalition

But we know what happened

Later you'll open your foul mouths to call Yoruba betrayers

Ironsi showed us how beautiful an Igbo head of state would be

Ironsi was far better than Buhari that has ruined Nigerian economy and introduced terrorism in our forests.

Awolowo had no presidency to offer anybody, and by the way, while he was offering Zik the presidency, he was also offering same to NPC. Maybe you are not even aware of this twist. That was why Azikiwe rejected his offer, when they found out the double-cross

cocolacec:
The Igbos held power for six mo yhs by killing leaders of other regions.What a callous act by a group for power and control.

The Igbo man holding the power arrested all those involved in that coup who happen to cut across the various regions.

But when the Igbo man was toppled, no one held those blood-thirsty coupists to account.

Today Fulanis have shown themselves to be unadulterated terrorists, and saw nothing wrong in ensuring that Igbos never came to power.

That wicked action by Fulanis is now pulling Nigeria apart. Biafra, Ibom Republic, Oduduwa Republic are now in the offing. You can eat your heart out

theTranslator:
Azikiwe was Igbo


He was president

Azikiwe was just a ceremonial president. The person with executive powers was Tafawa Balewa.

Igbos have only held the executive powers in Nigeria for roughly six months.

Goodluck Jonathan is Ogbia and not Igbo.

Nigeria has been independent for about 61 years, and Igbos have only held the executive powers for just 6 months

EraseTheDot:
I analysed the bush environment of ESN's training location and I couldn't find red mud. Little wonder, ESN have been receiving combant training from Ambazonia, another minority tribe. What a shame!
Someone says a big tribe like ipob has only one leg, it can't stand alone but needed the minority tribes as an artificial second leg to enable it stand.

- erase the dot

Meanwhile your president is gearing up to suck IPOB's dot junk

Alusiizizi:
This is a lie. Akwa Ibom resorted to pretty much the same means that IPOB resorted to. I'll have you know that a good number of IPOB members are from Akwa Ibom.

And also a lot of Akwa-cross people in the UGM ranks

Ojiofor:
Look at how proud you sound 'All these agitations are rightly attributable to the Igbos and IPOB'
While we keep paying heavy price both in blood and resources without benefit.
Akwa Ibom people choose the civilise way of agitation which is risk free by simply going to UN but you guys have stubbornly choosen to engage Nigeria military in Igboland with few stolen guns.Yet we claim to be smart people.

I don't even know who ever told you I am a member of IPOB or that I consider Kanu my leader.

Kanu has his flaws, but his heart is pure and blameless.

I have said several times in this forum that I would have preferred a Tony Nnadi leading the whole IPOB as he has a more diplomatic way of going about this self-determination processes than Kanu.

But in the absence of Ojiofor leading a peaceful and diplomatic drive to achieve Biafra, Kanu who happens to be in the field, while flawed, is still in the field, and his actions are better than just being in front of your keyboard and be moaning.

Buhari is now trying to talk, all because of Kanu's flawed moves. And by the way, you can't make omelette without breaking eggs. Finally, Buhari is responsible for those that died, not Kanu.

Please someone should tell this phony SS Republic, to stop annexing Ibom Republic.

Ibibios and Annangs have shown a wish to have their own republic and that must be respected. Land grabbers everywhere.

Akwa Ibom is not a part of this SS Republic babel.

AMINDA:
So the Igbos had to send many of their youths to early graves and plunge their region into tumoil just to get Buhari to discuss with their leaders? Is that what we are celebrating on this thread? Would the discussion end up with Buhari agreeing that Southeast secedes? What concessions do you honestly expect from the discussion that Buhari has not already made to the Southeast. It is just an opportunity for the Southeast to save face.

Dream on.

Fulani organisations have been asking for a referendum for Igbos for quite a while.
While I don't expect Buhari to concede to referendum, one thing Buhari and his fellow Fulani terrorists will agree on, is that the Igbos are very formidable, and that by osmosis, they are now infecting other parts of the south with the longing for freedom.

Fulanis never in their dreams, anticipated that Yorubas will start an agitation to break away from Nigeria. Fulanis never anticipated that a Yoruba militia will come into being, thanks to Igboho/Kanu partnership. Once this militia is released into Yoruba forests, they will not be handing any Fulani terrorists to the police. They will be sent to God right there. That is the osmosis I talk about.

Today, Ibibios and Annangs are now asking for an Ibom republic. This destroys the usual isolation attempt that the Fulanis were trying to engineer. Today there are two dots in the east, thus destroying a major plan of the Fulanis.

All these agitations are rightly attributable to the Igbos and IPOB.

Buhari's intelligence also knows that we are all going through a calm before the storm. IPOB's relationship with the Ambazonians, means there is a huge possibility of an invasion force breaking into Nigeria within the next few weeks or months. This talk of dialogue is obviously to help reduce the possibility of such an invasion, by people you have already made your diehard enemies, and who are unlikely to take prisoners, when in action. Buhari now wants to chicken out by introducing this dialogue.

Buhari knows his only way out is to negotiate. Of course we all know IPOB leadership cannot be bribed and they will stick to their points.

But Buhari has lost a golden opportunity to speak with these groups as a father will speak with his children. When he should have acted like a father, he acted like a sworn enemy by declaring a banner-waving organisation, a terrorist group.
Anyway, better late than never.

adanny01:
In the current political circle (APC), who did you support? Do you even support the current political circle? How do you expect an Igbo to be selected at this time when the Igbos are threatening thunder and brimstone.

Have you ever heard of the coined words "winning team"? You need to be in a winning team to taste the exploits of battle.

The Hausa took the presidency away from Jonathan, they needed an alliance they got it with SW. It is only after the participants of that winning team have finished their turns with the exploits before they will consider any other one. It is not rocket science.

Ekweme was simply not in the winning team. In general, the Igbos don't understand politics or politicking.

The lack of understanding from the Igbos is mind boggling.

That is why Igbos want Biafra.

We have seen how your winning team ruined Nigeria's economy from 2015. We have seen how your winning team has vehemently refused to restructure Nigeria. We have experienced how your winning team uses nepotism, terrorism and dictatorship to clamp down on peaceful protests and dissenting voices.
God forbid that I am a part of such a retrogressive winning team.

Biafra is the winning team that I desire
