ROFLMFAO.
Una go kill pesin with laughter for here.

Onlytruth:
My broda I hear you o. Nigeria and justice are mutually exclusive. They are like oil and water.
That is why it must be negotiated and settled so that we can move on as one, or disintegrate so that everybody will answer his own name.

The fact is that current system must cease to exist. ASAP.

Exactly until then SE should keep everything resourceful about their states hidden.
Some of una praising over Anambra joining oil-producing states and clamoring for Enugu joining it, should take a very close look at oil-producing states in Nigeria.
Do una really wish that for SE?

very very bad decision if una ask me oo!!!.

SE learn from SS.
Oil brings problem, hide your sh1t.
Don't display it in this country.

Sad story. 
I hate when stories like this comes from delta.

I just concluded that Nigerian bigots are beyond stupid, I vote dey examine una brain to discover whatever sickness that caused this in an effort to save the human race.

Una cannot tell the story is false. If it is a true article, why wasn't there a picture of the displaced in calabar?

why the same recycled picture 24-7 for the same stories?

Ha, they need to examined una brain quick.

Na wa oo!!!

musiwa,,.:
they are not claiming delta state, they are from delta state. what nonsense is this. Are you from a villages. Everybody knows this. It means you have never been to delta state before. they did not immigrate to delta state, they have been there for generation.

land grapper my foot, they own nearly half of the land in delta state. You must be an Igbo person or someone from the east. People in the east, dont know anything about the west. I think the education system should teach this.

Dude I AM FROM ASABA, now crack your brain and guess where that is? Yes, you got it, Delta. I grew up and traveled around Delta and Yoruba/iteskiri do not outnumber the groups I mentioned.

Where the heck are you getting the iteskiri own nearly half of delta? nearly half what? Iteskiri land is Warri north, south and south west and even then they share that land with urhobo. That is not half or even close to half of delta.

I've said this before the yoruba can claim iteskiri just like Igbo can claim anioma but allow others to choose where they wish to go to, don't drag everyone into your wish-to-be nation. Leave us alone abeg.

Stop invading people's privacy. Are the people you are posting their facebook account aware that you are posting their facebook account in a public forum filled with Nigerians that among some might actually be 419ers? hmm na wa o!!!
I am about to go secure my facebook account, this one no well at all.

The same image was used for Igbo displaced in Enugu, the same image was used for Igbo displaced in Abia, now the same image is being used for Igbo displaced in Calabar.

I don't believe this story one bit and i'm starting to disbelieve the story of the Abia one too; since Enugu story had the image first, probably it was the truth story.

If you no get money, then leave them be.
Na by force?
Wonder why Igbo men like myself wey no get money plenty full can get any Igbo women I want if na money dem want.
wowo men will say anything to themselves to pity themselves why an Igbo woman no want am.
Get money and try your luck, una go fail again. Slap your parents for making you wowo, don't blame your pocket.

musiwa,,.:
there are igbos in london. there are igbo in new york. will you say the igbos own london or new york. 

Did you claim delta state on your jamb form or are You Uzodima Goodhead jr aka Mudijah Dokobo.
the people in those pictures are from delta state,  their state of origin is delta state.   and even if jonathan goodluck goes there, he as to meet this people to buy a land.  As president Jonathan Goodluck will pay to buy a land from them.

You are not from delta state, you will not even doubt the pictures on facebook, if you are from delta state. You are from the East. . The problem is most of you from the east and North do not know anything about the Western Niger. What do they teach in school now in Nigeria.

Of course not that was the point or did the information fly through your head. Using people on Facebook as your logic is rather ignorant because there are Yoruba in delta that aren't from delta claiming delta as their place of origin on facebook similar to Igbo, Edo, Ijo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc claiming lagos, abuja, USA, UK, China, etc as their place of origin. Even the pictures does not prove anything, two out of the whole group had delta as their home origin, every other person was irrelevant.
Invading random's privacy for wetin 

@ I'm not from Delta. wetin Asaba be? SW eeh?  commot for road, go preach yoruba owns delta to actual non-deltans but for those of us that grew up in delta whom knows the real deal find your comments comical. ROFLMFAO @ yoruba owns delta. Leave delta alone and stop dragging land into your wish-to be nation just because of a small population happens to be from your group.  Ijo/Kalabari, Igbo, Urhobo/Isoko, Oron, etc surpass the iteskiri(yoruba) group wey dey for Delta.

Land grap Iteskiri land, no contest from me or any Delta group, but leave the rest of us alone.

When the SE and SS Igbo retaliate back, next thing we'll hear is why are Igbo killing innocent Hausa, Igbo double-standard and all that other sh1t-full whining.  Mscheww, they've already began, some group of Nigerians do not want peace, all they know is violence. 

Massob, if there are members of una on NL, take a lesson-either get serious and give up on this charade of non-violence and return fire with fire or stop doing what you are doing and allow real youths to take over.
Even a blind fool can easily identity that Nigerians do not like peace or any peaceful movement. Massob, una are peaceful movement but there are times you need to take a lesson from others and return fire with fire especially when una lives are threatened.  I'm not saying running around shooting up in the sky like SW groups does, maba, take a lesson from SS or even Boko Haram minus the bombing and suicide bombs.

^^^^As for the OP
For those screeching for tribalism control, see why una complaining won't change this forum. Take a look at the OP: when a person can be banned and allowed to open another account and continue the same thing without any problem. What do you expect?

https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm211/GiftofWolves/wildcats/roflmao.gif @ Yoruba owns Delta.

The Yoruba population in delta isn't even 50%, talkless 10%  Goodluck trying to preach that to the world.

Word of advice: using Facebook as source is very ignornant. Do you know how many Igbo, Edo, Ijaw, Hausa etc whom has Lagos, Nigeria or Abuja, Nigeria as their place of orgin/homestate on that site. From now on Igbo or Edo or Ijaw or any SS or SE region can claim those states because there are people on facebook claiming they are from there. 

Musiwa, I want to see try.
Come take Delta.
If dem no pour you acid for body, you can come back to NL and claim delta

Nairaland wetin I no go see?
Una can have iteskiri land but leave the rest of us alone

afam4eva:
@One naira
I meant to say the oppsite. It was a slip of keyboard. Does the sentence even make sense to you?

The implication the post directed towards is that you were correlating us to Hausa, in other words implying Asabaians are barbarians that attack anyone willy-nilly. As long as it is not as it implies, I'm alright with it.

Obiagu

+10000000 on this

You are not the only one harboring this feelings.
In the past, I believed in Nigeria, lying to myself constantly that at least Nigeria isn't sh1t but I woked up.
Nigeria is sh1t, always have been and always will be. It is not going anywhere, looking at Nigeria today, looking at all the stories about Nigeria, looking at this forum, I feel ashamed and disgust calling myself Nigerian; sometimes I wish I was from another African country, still Igbo, but any other African country: Cameroon, Ghana, Sierra Leone, even Ethiopia I no mind.
I'm channeling that disgust into separating out of this curse we deemed a nation.

afam4eva:
Asaba Igbos are known to be violent that's why fleeing hausas always take refuge in Asaba as if[b] it's hausaland[/b]. But I remember one incident when northerners were running into Asaba for their lives only to be met by another fierce blood thristy youths.

May thunder fire you there. See how you insult Asabians without provocation. Na hausaland u com dey see us? Violent kei? Na am u fit think we act like? mscheww may thunder fire you for there. If no say you are Igbo, I would have cussed you out.

^^^for topic
Good move.  Finally payback, for how long should Igbo people keep quiet? una keep pushing am to the wall; there is so much u can do before a quiet person explodes. I don't condone attacking innocent bystanders whom just happens to be from the same group as the people killing our people left and right but too much is too much.  Igbo's have been quiet for too long, Hausa and Northerners kept pushing and pushing, una see the outcome. You think what affects SE Igbo does not affect ND Igbo.  Igbo bu Igbo: you hurt one, you hurt all.
For those b1tching and crying, all Hausa are not Boko Haram or the man whom killed the Igbo in Onicha is just one man, how can you condone all Northerners and Igbo double-standing and all that other bull abeg, commot with that one hypocritical bastard. Una killed Igbo up north for months now, your leaders didn't do anything to stop it or protect them, neither did any of una condemned them, una chased them when they were fleeing to safety, attacked and burned down their shops, threaten them left and right and even ridicule the ones who died and ridiculed Igbo for not reacting and yet you did not expect this outcome. you think people forgive that easily? You think noone is pained for revenge?  Thanks to BH and the north attitude una pushed alot of button, people are itching to revenge but decided peace to reign. Wetin una come do? una decided to bring the killing to Igboland una think nothing would have happened? You must be a professional 1diot to think Igbo would have kept quiet while one of our brothers die in the hand of a northern on our own land.  You dey crazy? It is like the north aren't aware of the mental psych BH is causing to other Nigerians. People are pissed, only one sparks explodes everything.  Every southern group in Nigeria are on edge if una didn't know well you know now.

^^^^@chekih
I can see through your charades.
Nice try in trying to turn SE and ND Igbo against eachother.
It easy to figure out why Hausa in onicha runs to Asaba and like everyone have pointed out, it is due to geography.
Onicha is 3 miles to Asaba as oppose to Akwa which is 21 miles despite Akwa and Onicha being in the same state.
If someone is chasing you to cause you harm, where would you run and hide? somewhere close to you or somewhere far away from you.
Nice try in trying to cause problems.

dayokanu:
So where can you infer from the post Physics made that the statement wasnt made by the Oba of benin Erediauwa?

Probably in your royal ignorance you didnt know Erediauwa was Oba of Benin and according to his profile I posted he served in eastern nigeria at that time 1960's.

If you cant read and understand simple English and need Physics to explain to you then why dont you go enroll in school instead of disgracing yourself on the web

ROFL.

The behavior of NL bigots.

Ask for proof, you provided them proof, they result to insults.

Whatever puts you to sleep dayokanu.

[size=15pt]Everyone loves Yoruba, admire them, wishes their entire life revolves around Yoruba and everyone hates Igbo.[/size]

The need to connect yourself to others as having a universal look of Igbo and a ego sponsored look to Yoruba is IMO becoming a pathetic attempt.

Desperation if you ask me.

Whatever strokes your ego and butter your bread dayokanu.

The obsession of Yoruba to Igbo is becoming just pitiful. Most NL Igbo are starting to disregard una on daily basis but but una killing yourself of them. ROFL

And the multiple accounts ID just surfaces.

Life no dey for some NL people oo!!.

Let me log out. I don't like dealing with two ids by the same person, I see no point in doing so.

dayokanu:
And where did Physics claim that the writer is not the Oba of Benin Erediauwa like you claimed

Can you copy the quote Physics made about that?

Since your own ability to read and understand English is now dependent on what Physics says

No rather I listen to communities than assume whom or whom is not a leader. You've and many of your other monikers have posted multiple topics, threads, etc to bath your hatred towards Igbo whether you take it out of context or not. As long as the word Igbo is in it and a little attack on the group is in it, na you post it. You've shamelessly claimed Benin claim to be similar to Yoruba and when they deny you, instead of just licking your wounds and move on, lets attack Igbo by posting an article to speak on the behalf of the Benin as if there own words by their own people do not matter. Similar to how you just posted an article on this thread about Ikwerre from a one man's point of view to speak for everyone. That is what makes you a comical person, you think small. A simple look of Asabian history will narrate to you, we are aware of the likes, dislikes, etc of the Benin's be it the Oba or the people. Bigotry keeps you alive, I on the other hand listen to everyone and not just one person whom support or does not support my view.

As for the post, here it is but it is a shame I have to dig for you what you could've read yourself.

Oba Akenzua II did not write the quotes posted by oduasolja and reposted by jason123; rather that was Erediauwa, who chose to work in the civil service in the Eastern region for about 13 years (1952-1965). Oba Akenzua's NCNC leanings and his coordination with the Zikists suggests a somewhat different outlook.

Most of those quotes are taken out of context anyway. The part of the book relating to the eastern region is actually trying to explain why some others came to dislike the Igbo in the run up to the civil war, despite the "adventurousness" and "industry" attributed to them, and why some of that dislike persists to this day. Some people can pretend this dislike didn't actually exist if they want, but history paints a different picture. We all know the COR state issue was not merely about politics. Anyway, while parts of that selection of quotes are offensive, there is not really any outright dislike of Igbos stated there or even implied. There is criticism, and then balances of those criticisms with positives.

Smart move Bianca.

Go buy a brain, and replace the fart ridden one you have at the moment

Why must everything good be European and everything bad be African, coon??

Make sure you buy or upgrade your self-esteem while you're at it, clown

ROFLMFAO.

Damn I really did struck a nerve hard.

The pain must be immense damn.

Everything european look good and african bad, all these derived for giving credit when it is due.

ROFLMFAO.

Upon reading your replies, I can tell you right now my self esteem is higher than yours.

Keep the insult coming, it is nothing but comedy for me anyways.

What is next? Bring it on

ROFLMFAO

I hit a huge nerve. Chei

dayokanu:
An article written in plain English yet you needed another human being to interprete for you

Have you bothered to find out who Erediauwa is? Or you are waiting for physics to explain to you

ROFL hard.

A Benin man will know whom his or her people's Oba is don't you think?

.  I've seen articles where the writer gives title left and right without proof of accuracy.
This is written by Nigerians and it is a known fact that many Nigerian writers write inaccurate information without verifying it.
I've even seen on NL where someone once claimed Arthur Mbanefo was an Igbo traditional ruler despite it being otherwise, though he was not a writer but no surprise there una praised him on without verifying it.

I do believe a Benin man who is very advanced in history of Africa would know who the Oba of his people more than you or anyone else are you saying the Benin's are unaware of their OWN Oba. WTF

So whom should I believe: someone from that community or an article written by an unknown and posted by someone whom isn't from that community.  I wonder whom

shymmex:
Your scree name one_naira shows how cheap your brain is,

Europeans did not provide any infrastructure in Nigeria for NIGERIANS - yet they violated the Country blind

They LIMITED ones they built were for themselves

If you can read that, and comprehend it with your one_naira brain - I can't help you, mate

Typical behavior of NLanders.

If you cannot rebunk something, you result to insult.

Whatever floats your boat.

Pele for proving my point earlier, now I recant it just to save some people need to stroke their own ego.

You did it all, the Europeans did nothing. Happy now

dayokanu:
On NL anyone can claim to be anyone. I can register a name tomorrow and say I am Okechukwu from umuahia

Would I rather believe the words of Papabrowne over the Oba of Bini?

The thing is have you seen any Oba of Bini that would deny Benin links with Yoruba?

Its either they say Oduduwa came from Bini or the other way round.

And Who can be more Edo than the Oba of Bini Omo noba Erediauwa

Papabrowne, Gareth, Physics, Edo.girl and one more Benin person repeated the same thing.
I am not surprised Papabrowne was the only one that stood out to you because he's the only one whom kept mentioning he'll choose SE over SW. No surprise there. Your hatred for Igbo will kill you one day if you ask me. You should seek help on it.

As for the article you kept posting all over the thread. I ignored you because well you seem to have selective reading, that was why most both Igbo and Benin ignored you on the thread, a simply look of physics reply was all anyone needed to see.  The guy in question (Erediauwa) was not the Oba of Benin as the Benin’s on that thread mentioned countless times but rather a non-royal Benin individual whom studied and lived around eastern Nigeria.  He, physics, also mentioned the article is been taking out of context by individuals since well the same guy in question was a friend of Zik and many other Igbo.  He spoke of the stereotype and belief of eastern groups about Igbo well at the same time connecting the good aspect of Igbo as mentioned by Physics. I've noticed a new wave of selective reading on NL.  I'll rather listen to someone whom is more intellectual advanced in history (physics) than you.

@One_Naira

You're a clown, and a self-hating one at that STFU

The last time I checked [b]Abuja was built from the scratch by NIGERIA [/b]- more than a decade after white people left

Don't compare Southern Africa with West Africa - if the British really wanted to develop and live in Nigeria, they would've move a lot of their population to Nigeria when they were in Control - like they Did in Southern African Countries

The population of British people in Nigeria was never up to 1% - from the first day they set their foot on the Nigerian shores, till the day they left

The never had an interest in Nigeria - that's why only built administrative buildings, churches, schools and houses they need for the few British folks living in Nigeria at that time

Most of the infrastructures[b] you claimed[/b] they built in Lagos and Port Harcourt were built by the Creoles and the returnee slaves

Surprise Surprise the typical NL behavior, if you disagree and or debunk what they say, they'll result to name-calling

Do you even know the definition of exclude or did you feel the need to mouth of just because I decided to give credit when its due thus mentioning two cities I excluded.

One minute is it Europeans did not provide any infrastructure in Nigeria, now it is changed to they did but rather limited

Mscheww, I'm not into the taking credit for others achievement thus I leave una with the Nigeria was sh1t when Europeans left, we did it all comment.

Rossikk:
ONE NAIRA said

Some of you are so bloody IGNORANT it's quite frankly SCARY. Get this: The British rulers were TWENTY TIMES MORE CORRUPT than the Nigerian leadership that came after them. That was why after nearly 100 years of uninterrupted rulership of the country in which they extracted/exported natural resources worth untold billions of dollars (if not trillions) in today's money, they left in 1960 with near zero infrastructure in place, no power grid (they generated less than 270 mw in 1960 compared to 4,000 mw today), a pathetic 6% literacy rate (compare that to 76% today), not a single university in the entire country (compare that to 120 today), and a population that was 95% composed of hut-dwelling, farm-stuck, illiterate  peasants who had never seen a light bulb, and for whom the biggest luxury was a bicycle and a singlet.

So please, STOP FOOLING YOURSELVES. If the colonialists were still in power today, statistically, most of you  here would not be able to read or write, talk less of typing SHIIT on your computers.

SO every day you wake up, THANK YOUR GOD FOR the INDEPENDENCE we achieved.

We are not where we want to be just yet, BUT BOY HAVE WE COME A LONG WAY.

Mschwee, we lie to ourselves so much in Nigeria, it is becoming a disease. The colonizers were corrupt but they provided infrastructures in exchange of their colonialism thus they built most of the infrastructure found in all cities in Nigeria excluding Abuja, PH and Onitsha.

Read the economic history of Nigeria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_Nigeria

Colonies such as Nigeria became part of British imperial expansion that focused on exploiting raw materials, minerals, and foodstuffs important to Western industrial development. Britain tried to encourage tropical export crops in Nigeria and to stimulate demand there for British manufactured goods. The colonies built a railroad network between the 1890s and World War II, and constructed roads at an accelerating rate after the 1930s. These developments, along with the introduction of the pound sterling as the universal medium of exchange, encouraged export trade in tin, cotton, cocoa, groundnuts, and palm oil. Britain maintained its economic hegemony over the colonies through military power, strategic alliances, and the collaboration of indigenous rulers.

http://countrystudies.us/nigeria/53.htm

The construction of physical and social infrastructure was a major undertaking of the British colonial state. Roads and railways were built, as were social facilities such as schools and hospitals. English and vernacular languages were promoted in primary schools, but as students proceeded to higher levels, English became the only language of instruction. Education served to produce elite that would serve in the administration

http://what-when-how.com/western-colonialism/britains-african-colonies-western-colonialism/

As the nonslave trade began to flourish, so, too, did the Nigerian economy. A new economy based on raw materials, agricultural products, and locally manufactured goods saw the growth of a new class of Nigerian merchants. These merchants were heavily influenced by Western ways. Many soon became involved in politics, often criticizing chiefs for keeping to their traditional ways.

Unfortunately I'm not into the recent African need to steal credit neither do I feel the need to deny others involvement in an effort to make Africans look good.  

If colonization remained in Nigeria, Lagos and most likely all states in Nigeria would have resembled the African cities/ countries they held onto till recently such as South Africa, Zimbabwe (previous), Namibia or rather the whole of southern Africa.  This is not, by the way, a saying or wishing for Colonization to return but rather giving credit when its due.
