etimek:

I can see a bright light in the nigerian horizon. Just imagine when Dora is sworn in as the next senate president of Nigeria come 2011,the popular adage would have been correct/ confirmed!!! ,"WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A WOMAN CAN DO EVEN BATTER" It will be modified to read, "WHAT SHAMELESS'LY CORRUPT MEN COULD NOT ACHIEVE, DORA CERTAINLY WILL AND WILL EXCEED MENS EXPECTATIONS. EVER BUBBLING WITH ZESTLY LIFE AND A BRILLIANT SMILE OF CONFIDENCE,, THE EXECUTIVE WILL REALLY SWEAT TO THEIVE/STEAL /LOOT OUR TREASURY backside ALWAYS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. BOLD AS EVER,EVEN WHEN SHE CONFRONTED THOSE KITCHEN CABINET MEMBERS, EVEN WHEN THE KITCHEN CABINET OF FORMER PRESIDENT WERE HIDING YAR,ADUA'S NEAR LIFELESS BODY AND DECEIVING THE NATION.

NewsMonste:

2015 Is not about who takes over. I bet you, no matter where the President will come from, what will ache the minds, hearts and thoughts of Nigerians, is the condition of their well-being. Lets make every day of the next four years count, by making sure that the President after the 2011 elections rules so positively that Nigerians will never talk about Presidential geo-politics ever again!

tensor777:

Well what do you know? Maybe you should quit commenting on issues that you know nothing about! Its not your fight and none of your business.
But I am curious as to what kind of pictures you expected to see of a WAR that was fought almost exclusively on Ojukwu's home base?

Beaf:

The International community has long since promised to help with what they termed, "logistics."

jason123:


No one is whipping anyone. If the igbos try such, it might be viewed as a Christian crusade and would lead to another cycle of violence!

Actually MASSOB needs to be like MEND but with more sophistication and reach across Nigeria.
The blood of the Igboman has been the manure feeding the Nigerian contraption. It needs to stop.

Akhenaten:

Well maybe it is time for us to start our own group. You are correct about the name of MASSOB.

Lets name it the Amadioha Liberation Front (ALF) or Ikenga Boys

Akhenaten:

MASSOB needs to be like the OPC.

willo4ever:

its funny being screwed since 1966 till date and still complaining with no action, and this culless leaders of the ibos (ohaneze ndi igbo) dat dont even care about their kins men but their pocket and always comeout and say bullshit,
Am not ibo but i was born in the east and have lived with ibos all my life,,,my best friends are ibos, but i strongly think they are the main cos of their problems ,so the the moment they remove their selfish character from their behaviours .there and then this rubbish dat is happening to them will stop. becos they are a selfish and selfcentered race dats why they cant rule this country and i think its high time they stop complaining and get their acts together, nobody has a monopoly to violence

bashr4:

this thread is about state of origin not state of residence.

jason123:

Ikwerris did not, it was forced on them since Igbos were the majority in the east. The Kalabaris are more related with the ijaws than Igbos. What about the invasion of the MW? Is that not bad? sine they were neutrals.

jason123:

@ darkskin*
I have followed your argument and I can comfortably tell you that you do not know anything about Nigeria or her past. Do some research and stop believing every garbage spewed by some pro-biafrans on this site.
The war was a land and resource grabbing war. How can you justify Ojukwu (the biafran war lord) invasion the SW and MW? How can you justify Ojukwu annexing almost the whole of SS even up to Warri (my people reside there)? How can you justify the killing of every leader from other ethnic groups but yours was spared? How can you justify the appointment of a lot of igbo officers after the coup? There are lots of question you need to ask yourself before you try to talk about these issues. I would advise you to do some independent research. The pro-biafrans would NEVER tell you they are at fault, infact, they would never tell you the truth since the truth. They would fuel your hatred for other Nigerians as their parents did to them. They would not tell you why the whole country fought against them. Learn the truth!!!MO

Mukina2 and Seun, i love this site just like millions of others that read comment on this site even if they are not registered to nairaland

i admire the work and commitment made by nairaland staffs and mods

there has been something really destroying this website, and i think people who are reading commitments on this site are getting tried of.

the issue of biafra is really the problem here; some of my igbo brothers on this website have been make propaganda's, lies and all sort off other things to make northerners and other nigerians look bad in the face of the outside world.

the pictures posted in the crime section is an example of sure, for the past 2 weeks now everyone have been enjoying nairaland because it few ethnocentric people sure as some of my igbo brothers have been out of this site

other nigerias sure as yorubas, kanuris, hausa, igala, ijaws, itsekiri, edo, fulani, beroms, etc have been enjoying this site and all it's contents; but each time SOME of my igbo brothers start there ethnocentric views such as "igbo this biafra that" it just spoils the mode of the site.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-582396.192.html#msg7539428

this trend is now making non-nigerians that know nothing about biafra or non of there family die in biafra are now talking about how evil nigerians are.

this is not proper for the image of nigeria at all,  this site is for "nigerians and FRIENDS of nigeria" not friends of igbo, yoruba or biafra

i do not think it is proper for biafra war to be displayed almost every day on this site as it is bad for the image of the site and also bad for the image of nigeria and africa

please i appeal to SEUN and MUKINA2 to do something about it

images of biafra war will non bring peace on others but bring hate and strife to others about there neighbouring country men

alj harem:

ola edo, do you know the ijaw elders payed for OPC not to kill them in lagos after that attack on an island

alj harem:

like you can stop me before

sofily sofily sofily they do am ooo

OPC en day for town

jason123:

By the way, EVERYONE SHOULD NOT BELIEVE SOME RUBBISH BEING TRASHED OUT HERE. People just chat crap. I know my southern brothers would not view muslims as such!

kcjazz:

Unless the meaning of Pan-African has changed, I don't think you are one. Its like saying you are a pregnant virgin. Let your actions be congruent and consistent.
*The promotion of Ndigbo to head back home*

First off, it is an insult to say people seeking for opportunities to better themselves are money lovers. And who told you Igbo people do not come back to invest.

Well, when Ohanaeze becomes a focused leadership group of elders, only then will we be able to support their work. Actually, support will come naturally.
While we wait for Ohanaeze, we need to hold our SE governors and leaders accountable, they have learnt to cover their deficiencies with the cries of marginalization and anti-Igbonization.

jason123:

Muslims as animals In the south Even dokuba is a muslim, isn't it? Guy, I think you are wrong. Southerners even the south-south cannot view muslims as animals. NO! . 2 of my brothers are muslims.

jason123:

If they do invest then why do people say they do not invest?

jason123:

After the first paragraph, I stopped reading.

THE WEST AND SOUTH DO NOT THINK MUSLIMS ARE ANIMALS OOO! my own dad is a muslim but he does not take it to the extreme level the northern muslims take it to. Infact, my mother is still a christain and the islam religion was not imposed on her. The southerners respect muslims and we demand that the respect should be reciprocal! How many times have they heard southerners killing muslims? Why is it that the killing only occurs in the north?

jason123:

Okay, your point is clearer. Thank you.


. I do not get you ooo! How does this relate to investments? Yorubas do not invest anywhere because lagos is in their proximity!

PhysicsMHD:


That's a tough one.  I think that actually depends on what everybody else decides to do actually. They would just be left playing the waiting game probably.


If left to them, I think they would just try to resurrect Bendel minus the groups that want to leave, and when that fails (I think the only people that would stick around would be the Urhobos/Isokos, so it would be a landlocked country of about 6 million, which is fine with me actually.) they would join Oduduwa republic. After all, Edos believe Oduduwa was a Benin man  , so that would be no problem having it named after an illustrious Edo son. I would want a better name for such a country though. You can't call yourself an Oduduwan or and Oduduwaian. It just sounds strange and weird.

odumchi:

Thankyou Missy.

@ Ileke Idi, you don't understand. The Igbos were being oppressed and fought a war to escape such suffering. One million Igbos died fighting for that dream. 1milliom people gone, one million hopes and dreams sacraficed, one million was one tenth of our pop at that time. And as if that was not enough, we today are still suffering more than before. One million people died for no reason, my own ancestors died in that war, they were forcefully conscripted, pulled from their farms and equipped with rifles and caps to fight an enemy with machine guns and tanks. Entire villages destroyed, (My heart weeps as I write this), towns were burned and families separated for no reason. Today millions if former soldiers maimed and injured beg alongside the highways. These were the same people that Guwon promised "peace and reassimilation".

My people are imprisoned in their own land and no one seems to care. The highest a young Igbo bot can hope to be in Nigeria is a governor in his fund-chocked state. While an illiterate Hausa or Fulani boy can answer Alhaji at the age of 15.

PhysicsMHD:

Are Urhobos and Ijaws Yoruba?

What's this about them not functioning well if they stand on their own?

Edo and Delta have a higher GDP per capita than every other state that came out of the Western region.
