ganisucks: The OP is an ediot. You know nothing about trump and only started browsing about after he won the election. Trump cares nothing about nigeria or africa in general. But his party on the other hand would like to split up the country into units and leave the southwest and the north to starve to death, while exploiting and renegotiating the oil contracts in the southsouth, and using the southeast as a proxy lever. PS: There is no oil in borno or lagos. Only just a scam by the stewpid northerners and the greedy yorubas
This am certain is at the top of the Trump agenda, the break up of Nigeria.
TheEastActivist: But since South unification(SS/SE and SW) has failed us, I agree with you that Igbos should focus and explore other channels that can drive inwards development to the region. Truthfully the north can suffice. Be it HAUSA, fulani, Tiv, idoma, kanuri and other minorities so far as they have learned representatives to represent them we are good to establish a relationship connection.
WEN WE TALK ABOUT SOUTH, YORUBAS ARE NO LONGER INCLUDED,(SW IS ON ITS OWN).
TheEastActivist: [b]YES. But you didn't edit the part I quoted thus still making my reply a valid one.
Bruv, you said Igbos don't understand Northerners very well, I guess you are wrong on that. Don't buy into what the yorubas feed you concerning Igbos.
Igbos rejection of buhari as president for 2015 was highly misinterpreted and distorted by agents of propaganda from Southwest. Igbos don't hate on other ethnic groups blindly like some others who don't see any good in us from onset. Igbos properties was hijacked in portharcourt(Igbo city) by our same brainwashed brothers, we didn't fight them because it's a material matter thus doesn't warrant taking a life. Igbos appreciate life so much. If you observe very well, most times Igbos goes berserk in Igboland killing the Northerners, is only when they start their useless religious fracas with Igbos up north but which after the surge has been satisfied, it dies down and we co-habitate again with them and them with us.
We don't start fight except we are pushed to defend ourselves just like in abiola case. Igbo vs Yoruba fight in lagos state.
So all this is what mature people tolerate and that's what the igbos are doing. We supported yaradua a fulani, we supported Obj a yoruba and Gej an ijaw. So where is the hate they are accusing us? Yet they are the ones hating.
Gej not an igbo was chosen over buhari who ain't igbo too by the Igbos because the later has less to offer than the former and if this scenario should replicate itself again Igbos will follow the same pattern. That's how it is done in a saner clime devoid of tribalism and sentiments. Replace Atiku with Gej and guess who Igbos will vote for? Replace Sanusi, Saraki, Peter Obi, Ekweremandu and other great nationalist and guess who the Igbos will vote for?. Your guess is right as mine.
But since South unification(SS/SE and SW) has failed us, I agree with you that Igbos should focus and explore other channels that can drive inwards development to the region. Truthfully the north can suffice. Be it HAUSA, fulani, Tiv, idoma, kanuri and other minorities so far as they have learned representatives to represent them we are good to establish a relationship connection. [/b]
THEY ONLY PEOPLE HATING EVERYBODY IN NIGERIA IS THE YORUBAS AND THEY USE MEDIA TO SPREAD AND PROJECT IT IN VARIOUS SHAPES AND SIZES. DO YORUBAS EVEN LIKE THEMSELVES, I VERY MUCH DOUBT.
HAUSA FULANI PROBLEM IS THEIR RELIGION WHICH SOMETIMES CAUSE THEM TO ACT OUTSIDE THE AFRICAN CULTURAL NORM, IT IS NOT ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT. WE IGBOS ARE LUCKY TO STILL HAVE OUR AFRICAN CULTURE, IMAGINE IF USMAN DAN FODIO HAD CONQUERED IGBOLAND, WE WILL BE LIKE THE MUSLIM NORTH, VERY MAD.
[quote author=TheEastActivist post=52033601]IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE NORTHERN LEADERS HAVE VOICED SUPPORT FOR IGBO PRESIDENCY.
IF NOT 4 GEJ, EVEN BUHARI IN HIS HEART AND MIND KNOWS THE IGBOS ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A FAIR CHANCE.
U NAME IT, UP NORTH FROM IBB TO EVEN GOWON, HAVE PUBLICLY VOICED SUPPORT 4 IGBO PRESIDENCY.
TELL ME WAT PROBLEM THERE IS, WITH THIS NORTHERNERS? THEY ARE NOT IN OBJECTION TO AN IGBO PRESIDENCY IN ANYWAY.
MEANING THEY ARE NOT AS ALLERGIC TO IGBO PROGRESS, AS THE YORUBAS.
AGAIN, WEN U LOOK AT IT, NORTHERN LEADERS HAVE DONE FAR MORE TO DEVELOP THE EAST THAN SW YORUBA PRESIDENT WHO DID NOTHING.
AS WE SPEAK ALL THE ROADS AND VARIOUS OTHER PROJECT ARE RECEIVING ATTENTION FROM BUHARI LED GOVERNMENT. THIS IS THE SAME BUHARI THAT WE DID NOT VOTE FOR OOOOOO.
IF WE TRAVEL BACK, U CAN POINT TO PROJECTS BUILT IN THE EAST BY VARIOUS NORTHERN PRESIDENTS OF NIGERIA. IBB, ABACHA AND EVEN BUHARI.
WAT DID OBJ DO IN THE EAST IN 8 YEARS? RATHER, HE WAS BUSY DESTROYING IGBO BUSINESSMEN MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD WHICH CREATED THE KIDNAPPING THAT WAS ALIEN TO THE EAST.
IF NOT GEJ WAS FROM THE SS AND HE BUILT PROJECTS IN THE EAST, NA WE IGBOS FOR CHAMPION BUHARI PRESIDENCY PASS ANYBODY. YET, THAT DID NOT STOP THE LIKES OF MBAKA FROM SUPPORTING NORTHERN PRESIDENCY OVER (EVEN) SS GEJ.
GUY, I WANT MY PEOPLE TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND START TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE AND REASON ALONG.
TheEastActivist: I agree to this extent. Year or entity are variables will inherit from that relationship, so I can't be exact.
I've lost faith in SW in 2015, they are not ready to Forge the interest of the south yet. Most of them are Too egocentric and students of awolowo whose number and strength are still predating over the liberals among them.
Am into anything that will bring development to Old eastern region, Nigeria SE to be precise.
I EDITED MY POST.
THE SW ARE PERPETUALLY IN OPPOSITION TO UR INTEREST FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO THEM.
E DONT MAKE SENSE THAT U DONT LIKE SOMEBODY BUT CANNOT LET THEM GO?
E DONT MAKE SENSE, BECOS ONCE THEY GO, U ARE FREE TO HAVE IT ALL WITH NOBODY DISTURBING U OR TO WORRY ABOUT.
NDIIGBO SHOULD STOP LOOKING TO THE SOUTH WEST 4 ANYTHING AND HEAD NORTH.
LET US LEARN THE NORTH AND FOSTER A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
THE HAUSA DONT BEHAVE LIKE THAT AT ALL, THEY ARE NOT TWO FACED. IF LEFT TO IGBO AND HAUSA ALONE, THIS BRITISH PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN HISTORY.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT AN IGBO PRESIDENCY WILL BE A REALITY IF IGBO FOCUS ON IMPROVED RELATIONS WITH THE NORTH GOING FORWARD IN 2019, WITH ATIKU.
THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE NORTH. AN IGBO PRESIDENCY HAVE RECEIVED MORE SUPPORT FROM THE NORTH THAN THE SOUTH WEST.
THAT IN ITSELF SPEAKS VOLUMES. FROM IBB TO GOWON (MANY MORE) HAVE VOICED THEIR SUPPORT FOR IGBO PRESIDENCY, I DONT KNOW WEN MY PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YORUBAS DONT MEAN WELL FOR THEM.
4 GET ABOUT WAT ISLAM HAVE CAUSED OR LED THE HAUSAFULANI TO COMMIT, AFTERALL THEIR FELLOW MUSLIM AND NORTHERNERS WERE NOT SPARED.
BESIDES IF U LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT THE NORTH, THOUGH EVERYBODY TEND TO SPEAK HAUSA AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, MAJORITY ARE NOT HAUSA OR FULANI, THEY ARE VARIED IN TERMS OF THEIR ETHNICITY.
WE GENERALLY CALL THEM ALL ABOKI,(HAUSAFULANI) WHICH IS WRONG, IDENTIFY THEM BY THEIR NAME AND DISTINGUISH WHO IS ABOKI FROM WHO IS BEROM, IDOMA, IGALA, KANURI, NUPE AND TIV ETC AND RELATE WITH THEM AS SUCH.
What's you guys obsession with Biafra. How does my opinion have anything to do with Biafra? Is the thread or the op related to biafra? What's this fuss about biafra? So even if you are a biafran does that mean that all those that should be sensible in contributing to the thread will channel their thinking towards viewing your post not correlated to biafra through a tribalistic biafraphobia lens? Pls grow out of your emotions. Dumb posts pisses me off, am a fan of cramjones and I expect him to do more than this. His assertions is what we've already known, some are wrong while some won't happen. He should consult widely and research with open mind. That's my take.
I DEY FEAR YORUBA PEOPLE EVER SINCE I JOINED NAIRALAND AND STARTED TO GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THEY THINK, WHICH IS JUST BIZARRE.
THEY ARE VERY ETHNOCENTRIC AND OUTRIGHT RACIST. THEY WILL TELL U THAT IGBOS CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA, BUT LET OUT THIS WEIRD OVERTLY EMOTIONAL CRY WEN IT IS SUGGESTED THAT IGBOS BE SET ASIDE IN A COUNTRY OF THEIR OWN.
HELP ME TO ASK THE YORUBA, IF IGBO BLOOD IS DAT SWEET THAT WITHOUT IT, THEM LIFE NO GET VALUE?
U HATE IGBOS BUT THEY CANNOT LEAVE, Y? WAITING WE GO CALL DAT ONE?
AS FAR AS NIGERIA CONTINUES TO BE THE GRAVE YARD FOR JUSTICE, WHILST INJUSTICE FLOURISHES, THEN THE CRY FOR BIAFRA WILL CONTINUE TO GAIN MOMENTUM.
TRUMP IS AFTER AMERICA INTEREST AND IT IS NOT IN AMERICA INTEREST 4 NIGERIA TO BE ISLAMISED, MAYBE AT THE MOMENT THEY DONT MIND MILITANT BLOWING UP PIPELINES TO HELP THEIR SHALE OIL PRODUCERS STAY IN THE MARKET VIA REDUCTION OF OIL SUPPLY.
ADEBAYO OGUNLESI AND REX TILLERSON ARE NOT HIS FOREIGN ADVISERS, TRUMP HAS MAINTAINED A FOREIGN POLICY THAT CHAMPIONS THE RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION.
HE MADE THAT CLEAR ON HIS VISIT TO SCOTLAND AND OPEN SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN.
IF NIGERIA FAILS TO CLOSE RANK WITH SS/SE VIA IMPLEMENTING THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE REPORT, THEN REALLY, THE NORTH WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BREAK UP OF NIGERIA NOT IPOB.
seunmsg: I guess you are disappointed he didn't include support for the actualisation of Biafra in his analysis. You guys should wake up and smell the coffee, Trump has no business with ipobs and their irrelevant agitation. Just like all previous US presidents, he will push for a better and stronger relationship with the Nigerian government. The world cannot afford the fall out of a failed, fractured and war turned Nigeria. Beside, with business men like Rex Tillerson and Adebayo Ogunlesi advicing Trump, you guys can forget about his support for your agitation. It is never going to happen.
THE WAY U CRY EVERYTIME THE WORD BIAFRA IS MENTIONED IS PATHETIC.
BUHARI SHOULD SACK ALL THE IGBOS IN NIGERIA ARMY, WE ARE CREATING A BIAFRA ARMY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND WE ARE GOING TO NEED THEM. THIS IS LIST IS FOR AREWA ARMY, FRANKLY I DONT CARE IF THEY ARE ALL FROM DAURA.
Anybody with eyes can see that Nigeria will disintegrate very soon. Ohaneze have spoken wisely.
Everything appear to be working against Nigeria, the only people that want o continue are the cruel Afonja that appear to derive joy from the continuous flow of innocent blood.
rosalieene: let me understand, is it Government land or People's land?
let me understand, u own land in owerri.
Imo State Governor, His Excellency, Rochas Okorocha has announced free land space for owners of Everyday Supermarket at choice location in Owerri assuming they wish to expand and establish more branches in the capital city.
TonyeBarcanista: This is more reason why the so called Christian court is an aberration. All you mentioned can be exercised through civil courts. Thanks.. NO TO RELIGIOUS COURTS
MY OPENING SENTENCE MADE IT CLEAR THAT NEITHER THE COURT OR POLICE TAKES ANY ACTION IN THE AFORE-MENTIONED CASES.
SHARIA COURT IS ALREADY HERE, IT IS TOO LATE FOR THE NO RELIGIOUS COURT STATEMENT.
WE HAVE GONE PAST THAT STAGE, WAT WE WANT IS PROTECTION OF YOUNG CHRISTIAN GIRLS(CHILDEREN) AND IF THE CHRISTIAN COURT CAN PROVIDE THAT, THEN THEY HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT.
