Lmfao!!!!! I can see PDP and GEJ kept this woman from going ham on APC when they were attacking both her, husband and children. Since she's started her speech for her husband, you can see she's slowing getting back on them in a nice matter. Dang I wished they allowed to speak during those times, I bet you she would have verbally dragged the entire APC members. Her mouth is deadly. Imagine, the little she's doing now is giving am heart attack, imagine when they insulting her and her family on daily basis

Didn't she, aisha, abuse igbo people by claiming we mistreat windows? Didn't she abuse Edo women by implying prostitution as the career goal in Edo women? Didn't her husband abuse southerners few years ago by calling us "baboons and monkeys"? Abeg aisha needs to sleep. You dish it but can't take it. Mechi onu!!

OP you are late. The dude has been wanted for awhile now. I'm surprised they Still haven't caught him yet. Damn, the dude is a natural Fugitive ooo

As for those that asking why they mentioned yoruba. Out of all Nigerians ever wanted by FBI, majority have been yoruba. There was one Edo woman they were looking for for murder..she's been caught thanks to nigerian efcc. Two igbo men they were looking for 419..both have been caught and 19 yorubas, well technically 18 if we exclude him, they were looking for 419...All have been caught except 2. He was one of those 2.

I don't know whether Buhari was there or not! So I'm not answering about his involvement in the coup

You said he jailed Chief Alex but placed Shagari on house arrest(!?). Buhari was not responsible for the sentencing, the TRIBUNALS was! The TRIBUNALS consisted of Hausa, Ibo and yoruba judges, the TRIBUNALS passed the judgments not Buhari. So you are caught lying again, if you have any problems, write a petition against the TRIBUNALS.

Moreover, the TRIBUNALS jailed enough Northerners. Buhari even went to the extent of trying to kidnap his fellow MUSLIM NORTHERNER(Umaru Dikko) to face corruption charges! I didn't like that step but it clearly refutes your sick arguments, let's face fact. He is winning the election and you can't deal with but rather you're trying to console yourself.

Better embrace the breeze of change!

Alex Ekwueme was found innocent on the first trial. Incorrect on the second trial ordered by Buhari. Despite being found innocent, twice on a role for corruption charges, Buhari jailed the man therefore no, the "tribunals" did not jail Alex, buhari did that himself. Don't try to rewrite a known history especially one that was recently revisited by the media ever since Buhari decided to run.

Secondly, why are you trying to change shift. Your initial post was blaming Ironsi for not persecuting the coup plotters as the reason behind the north blood thirsty act. Therefore, I gave you an identical event using that your demi-god buhari. Did he persecute the coup plotters that brought him to leadership since he denied being involved? Yes or no?

Btw: under his leadership, his brother in law was able to transport suitcases of money without any government official bating an eye
Under his leadership, millions of dollars went missing from the PTF fund.
He also declared the most corrupt politician known in Nigerian history aka Abacha as an innocent man due to tribal similarity.

The dude has nothing great to say. On top of that, each time he speaks, his tribalistic comments run out like Tap water. APC leaders knew if Bohari gets up in that podium he'll destroy the little save person tactics they doing. To be honest, keeping away from the debate is both a good and a bad strategy on their part.

Demmzy15:
I didn't abuse you, so I would like you to respect that fact! Were all the Ibo officers executed?! Femi Fani-Kayode said 300 of them were killed, so are you trying to tell me that ibos had only 300 soldiers?! Moreover, the soldiers killed would have one way or the other be involved in the coup! Even Yorubas who were involved were killed. What angered the Nigerian Army was that when Ironsi toke over, he refused to punish the coup plotters. He was indirectly supporting them, he never passed judgement on them.

5 officers can't execute a coup alone, maybe the 300 were part of the coup. They brought it upon themselves, the civilians who were killed was totally outrageous! The people who did this were the angry mobs who saw the ibos in their land as infidels, I totally condemn this. But for some hypocrite whose father was saved by the Northern officers to come and be blabbing sh+t is annoying!

Likewise northerners committed a coup where Buhari jailed an house arrested the president while jailing the Igbo vice president. Few days ago, he buhari denied being involved with the coup but rather he was appointed presidency by the military after the coup. Buhari never persecuted the coup plotters so what's the difference? Abeg tell us another story.

Btw: spare us the story civilians were jubilating over the leaders death. For years now, people have been asking proof of this statement and still now, we've yet to get any form of evidence supporting una propaganda. Considering we are currently watching northerners blaming GEJ and in the beginning south individuals living up north for the tragedy BH is doing up there, I'm beginning to doubt any form of "save stories" justifying their blood thirsty tendencies

I have only one word for this "hiah". Only on Nigeria person sees this kain thing

More perfect reason Yorubas are as tribalistic as as it comes. What a disgusting set of savages.

SLS described them perfectly with each passing day I visit NL, I see that man hit the nail on the head when he spoke of them.

**spits on the floor**

GboyegaD:
Please, I just sent you a PM. I look forward to your response asap.

And what is your message about? The email address I used to sign up for this account I've long stopped using it and I don't recall the password. Whatever it is you want to say to me, just reply it here.

Pat Utomi is an APC card carrying member so of course he'll endorse APC presidential candidate. Mtchewwwwww. As much as I respect utomi, the dude needs to stick to teaching. All respect he acquired fell down the drain the second he started partying with APC. Abeg waka

GenIgrigi:
**grins** Ojukwu never added anioma because anioma was not under the purview of his administration. It is the evidence that he wasn't a greedy man unlike what many hungry nigerian journalists portrayed him to be. Gowon and Awo would have called him greedy if he did. Even at that the Aniomas still stood and fought with their brothers from Enugu, Aba, Ebonyi as heroes. **LOLS**

cc: Onenaira6

Can you people please please please stop dragging me to ika related topics. I'm not one of them and I'm in no way related to them at all. I actually see them as an embarrassment. They are an inferiority complex community that I wish not to be associated with. Just because I share the "Anioma" community with them does not mean I'm related to them.
And finally, I've lost count how many times I and many other delta igbos on this forum have told you people that the "denials" are a huge attention seeking individuals. The way we deal with them is by ignoring them..that's how most of us deal with them back home but No, SE you all want to continue entertaining them and they know that. Therefore, please go ahead and continue but Biko STOP ccing me.
Thank you!!!

As others have said it's political created by the north and west to "liberate the minorities from Igbo" but the reality was they created it to make it easier for them to steal oil from SS without anyone questioning them. If SE Igbos were still in control of Eastern Nigerian, best believe the oil exploration and daylight stealing coming from yoruba and northerners would have been less than what it is today.
I picked up on that shit as I age, the whole "giving minorities independent" was coined to distract us from the real reality. Let's think about it, I'm Igbo yet my people's land is in Delta thus I'm classified as a "SS". Why are my people under the political region created to "give minorities independence" from "igbo" and "yoruba". I recently befriended this dude that's from rivers but also igbo according to him. Similar to I, his people's land are in common day river thus classified as "SS". Why are his people under a political region created to "liberate minorities". I honestly started seeing it for what it truly is as I age.
Let's think about it, after the creation of "SS", north exploration and oil thievery increased tremendously. Most oil blocks was giving out to either a northern or western and none to "minorities". Another one is that most oil companies headquarters were "liberated" out of rivers and delta and put in Lagos.

The entire nation is a huge cheat in my eyes. Coining words to validate their cheating.

scholes0:
Point remains the majority of people of the present SS have NOTHING to do with you or your region.
even in the so called igbo region of Delta state- just go to Agbor or Ogwashi uku.
Another Akwa Ibom guy already said the same thing on the top of this page..... so please leave SS alone.

This is why I hate f2king Yorubas. All that tribe does is try to cause division on ethnicities that's not their own. They fucking worse than the northerners I swear. **spits on the floor**.

Dude stfu and speak only what you know. Never include ogwashi in una mischievous comments.

Nellybii:
The ethnic card will never augur well for the igbos. I have not seen any objectivity in your argument. Just purely ethnicity on display here. So GEJ is now igbo abi? SMH why don't you go back to your villages and stop disturbing Lagos. mtchewwwww.

Useless buffoon with no ounce of brain forming intelligent. Point out to me where GEJ was mentioned. Is the whole rally from Joe yorubakwe purely tribal? Stupidity of APC lovers, always contradicting their themselves. Go read, you no what do.

This is the problem with uneducated yolobas. Always thinking people live in that disgusting, worst city on the planet called lagos. Y the Bleep will I waste my natural born time in a unsanitary, poverty ridden, disgusting city ranging with uneducated Agbero tout Yorubas. Common running water you ppl don't even have. Don't ever ever in your life think I lice in that mess you call a city. You hear me?

I'm having a hard time falling asleep this night. I blame GEJ #fasholajoker

Why is this house nigg@ that calls himself Joe igbokwe calling igbo everyday. Wetin be his problem? Why is this house slave constantly disturbing us? Everytime igbo, igbo. Abi na only him be the only person wey claim na igbo man born am. Infact sef, I don suspect am; instead of calling igbo everyday, he should be busy looking for his real papa. No Igbo man gives birth to slave niggas. The dude na suspect.

chrisbaba1:
[size=16pt]The igbos I know today are not the igbos Achebe so proudly talked about in his books that I voraciously read....... The igbos (who are very tightly knitted) need to re examine their political stance in today's Nigeria...... You cannot actualize your dreams of sovereignty without being part and majority of the core policy makers in Nigeria (I don't mean house of assembly pple)...... Hiding behind the Ijaws isn't the way.......[/size]

Oh shut the f2k up. Actually become a political force to reckon with before "advising" others how to achieve it. It's getting ridiculous the tribe so low in the political head of that nation constantly giving advice on politics just because they are "opposition. There are more igbo leaders that have more influence in the ruling of that nation than una best politics so shut the Bleep up. all Nigeria main role in politics as we speak name the position yoruba holds that makes una a strong political force. Being in the "opposition" does not mean sh1t. You still an unruling community desperately licking the @ss of a 72 year northern in hopes he can squeeze una in helms of politics if he does win. We all see una BS and not all of us are going to follow Yoriba in their slave mentality and desperation. Unlike una, we are not a hopeless community with more poverty than Africa itself

chrisbaba1:
[size=16pt]Lmao!!! No biafra is not..... If Niger delta had such vision they would have achieved it in one year...... Biafrans on the other hand is much talk, No action..... for the past 40 years..... Nigeria is used to the dream..... Worst of all is that the Biafrans are now hiding behind the Niger deltans in hopes they would support their sovereignty who are evidently all about the emancipation of the Niger delta people only......... Too bad, No offence meant....[/size]

IS that so yet your leaders are going everywhere harassing any biafran seeking groups. Disturbing them no matter where they go yet "they are not a problem to Nigeria". I laugh tire. If they aren't Nigeria's nightmare, your leaders would not be wasting their time seeking the military and policemen on them despite then being non violent. Infact, they will view them as irrelevant. Ironically, the case is the opposite. Even on this forum, anything biafra is mentioned, your worthless, South West tribe invade the thread like una brains were eaten up by maggot and you need someone to watch your stupidity display.

While I'm at it, at least biafra fought for what they want. ND fought for what it want and even north is currently fighting for what they want through Boko haram. Every body in that country has had the balls on time on another to take on the whole military except the cowardly tribe. While yoruba, since we've known una. We've heard you people talk about Odua republic countless time and till date that still remains words. Infact sef, una are the liver less group on the entire nation. The best you are known for is taking credit for the victory others had. Like biafra war, the militants defeat and like I told others last week to watch in the next few years, yoruba will try and take credit for current victory against Boko Haram. Shebi we no know una

You're an ediot, them no make you with brain. Infact I don't think your mind was created. It's just an empty skull there. You're just a disgrace to us.----my dad, 2009

Mind you this above insult was because I got an F in PE since i kept skipping that class. Keep in mind I aced every other classes but All he saw was that F.

Peppyluv:
If you want a war,go to Imo thread and face chino,he is a good match for you. Hypocrite,how many times have you confronted the Imolites on this forum Abagoro and co ,even off line that unnecessarily bash Anambra people, an attitude I try to ignore these days because it seems it will never stop. you are not from Imo but you are so pained because I'm from Anambra!if I was Enugu or another state you would ignore but once you hear Anambra your fingers will itch. Kwanyere Isi ocha gi Ugwu!
Did you even write WAEC? Nonsense...

Peppy luv wetin kwa? Nwanyi chill your temper. Apologize and move on since you offended her. By the argument, you can sense she felt like you attacked her abd her ppl. Stop the fighting and just apologize

Ihuomadinihu:
Her observations are her personal experiences. I equally have my experiences but it is not a fact. How many of you have been to Imo state or how many of you have encountered and met all diasporian Imo people.

I've met a significant amount of imo state diaspora. I can't say all but I've met more imo diaspora than the rest of igbo people. Anyway, like you said it's my personal experience.

bigfrancis21:
Thank you for your post.

Notice that the age group being observed here by many as non-speaking is the children/teenagers especially those born and raised outside Igboland. I have researched into this matter for some years, since as early as 2008 and I discovered that majority of these kids grow up to be Igbo-speaking adults, even the biracial Igbo kids. Take for example, Esther Ebigbo of Resonance born to an Igbo father and German mother who speaks and sings in fluent Igbo.

Dozie, born to a Nigerian father and English mother born in England who speaks and sings in fluent Igbo:
https://www.obaasema.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dozie.fw_.png

Nneka Egbuna, born to a Nigerian father and German mother speaks and sings in Igbo:
https://www.autostraddle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nneka.jpg

My classmate then in UNN is Igbo and biracial (Igbo dad Dutch/German mother or so), and speaks fluent Igbo. I used to call him, 'onye ocha na-asu Igbo' and he hated it each time I called him 'white'. He would tell me with all seriousness that he is 'black'. His brother, more 'whiter' than my classmate, and also in UNN (2 years below our (his brother and I) set) speaks Igbo fluently they all answer their Igbo first names.

Here in the US, I have met some Hispanic (third-generation) and Arabic (Palestine) Americans who speak only English and reply in English when spoken to in their native languages, despite how strong the languages are worldwide.

On the contrary, I don't think the Igbo language is on the decline in any way. Igbo parents nowadays, and parents of other tribes, find it fashionable to raise their kids in English language - as a mark of elitism and class however most Igbo parents begin to emphazise the importance of Igbo language to the children as they begin to grow older.

And that's why I find the whole thing laughable. Why are igbo parents behaving so stupidly, no offense to them. Why emphasize on importance of language as the child grows yet they rarely took the time to teach that said language to the child when their learning mentality was a lot higher. How do they expect the child to automatically speak the language of their parents rarely assisted them?

Ihuomadinihu:
There is no doubt that some misguided Igbos outside of igbo land find it difficult to speak igbo when they meet one another, irrespective of state origins. I just can't stand the clannish tone of that post.

No offense ihuoma but peppy is right. Most of the Igbo kids near my area whose parents are so keen not to teach their language to their kids are predominately from imo state. I don't think she was attacking you and ppl from imo. I think she was just announcing her observation.

scholes0:
Although this is possible, I doubt very much that you are speaking the truth... granted, there are Yoruba Americans that speak just English, but a good number of yorubas born in America or the UK usually speak and understand the language.... but it might just be the ones you have met, so who knows......
In Nigeria- more than 90% I dare to even say 95% of all Yoruba can speak and understand the language, and it has a lot of non-Yoruba who speak it as a lingua franca in places like Edo Kogi and Kwara, or living within the 6 core SW states, that is why their local home video industry and music industries are booming.... I think that is the key to preservation of a language.

On the other hand, I hardly see non-Igbos speaking igbo unless there is some sort of direct linkage. it's almost as if they are reluctant to teach the language, even to people who are genuinely interested in learning it, why is that? I asked someone once, and he told me it was because of various dialectal differences, my other friend said it's simply because when igbos move out of the SE for the first time, they discover the strength of other Nigerian languages and all of a sudden they feel their own language is not "complete", or that it sounds "somehow"- either way, I think Igbos should be proud in disseminating their culture.... props to rappers like Phyno and vocalists like Flavour for taking Igbo to the next level

I think the main difference between Igbos and Yorubas-Hausas is philosophy and outlook towards life, a saying goes, that you can take the man out of Yorubaland, but you can not take the Yoruba out of a man, that is the main reason their culture and elements of their language have survived in the Americas till date- while those of most other African groups in the diaspora have completely disappeared, or is just barely visible. The same goes for the Hausa folks. Igbos however take a new coat of painting depending on the environment they find themselves in- not saying there are no exceptions though.
If you take a random survey among residents of ENUGU and residents of IBADAN - about the use of Igbo and Yoruba languages respectively in the daily lives, you might be surprised by the results.

You can believe that all you want. As long it makes you feel better. I really don't give a f2ck. I can tell you without a doubt that the yorubas I've met in DC, ATL, hampton, NY and miami, I've yet to met any born and raised here that speaks the language. Heck I've not met one that's not imitating AAs behaviors to the T. The only African group I'll say that actually proud to speak their language abroad and even in front of foreigners are Ghanaians. I've not met any Ghanaian that cannot speak twi and they proudly speak in front everybody. Even in the damn school library, they loud as Bleep conversing in their language. They are the only african group I know whose showcased their pride in their language.

Olufemiolaolu:
How has dis affected d extinction of ur language? You re nothing but a glorified efulefu per excellence

The same way it affected yoruba ' s decline of intelligence and wealth. Shouldn't you be in the street agbero. Na who dash you phone? That your Oga wey dash you phone and mins should be hanged. Beggers like yourselves should be left to suffer tey tey. Ewu!!! Yoruba monkey

Olufemiolaolu:
Ok Oooo igbo American supporter

Dumbest reply ever but not really surprised.
Na yoruba you be

Personally I've asked around, at least to parents in America why they don't teach the language. Majority of them gave the same reply that they are trying to save their children the bullying African children's go through in middle and high school aka speaking English without any accent. I find the whole thing very laughable to be honest. My uncle even broke it down further. According to him, majority of the parents are pretty much following a herd mentality. They come to America and notice that parents aren't speaking their language to their children and they follow the behaviors because they don't want to "stand out". It's so fucking ridiculous and beyond stupid.

As for those that thinks parents do it because they think it's "cool". Well I can't speak for ones in Nigeria but for those in USA, I'm yet to meet a parent that's not embarrassed of it. I've lost count how many parents I've asked if their kids can speak Igbo and they reply "they understand but can't speak", only to find out from the kids that they can understand either. It's sad!! The funniest thing about it all is that I know some ppl that told me they used be punished by their parents during their younger years for speaking igbo and now they are adults their parents are on them about not speaking the language. It's hilarious. One of my cousin is actually a victim of that situation. He used to get punished anytime he spoke igbo; even the rest of us were punished whenever we visited their house, ironically enough, the same boy is constantly being verbally insulted by his dad for not speaking the language and constantly being compared to my siblings, other cousins and I. I honestly pity him.

With that being said, idk about the language dying. Unless theirs a new type of igbo language I didn't know about or theirs a different igboland I didn't know about but the one that I do know about, in every visit to Nigeria--to my hometown and SE, I'm yet to see this "lack of language speaking". Infact, I've seen ppl verbally insult others for speaking English to them while they spoke igbo. I'm not sure about igbos in lagos but one thing I know for sure but what you all are complaining about is rarely seen in my town, asaba, and towns next to us aka ogwashi, onitsha. It's also rarely seen in SE state I visit in each visit aka Enugu.

It's a problem...definitely but I think some of you all are exaggerating it. EX: name; for every igbo with an English one, I'm yet to meet one without an igbo middle name. Myself included. I was born with an English first name and igbo middle name yet anyone people that knows my parents, especially my father, can accurately tell you they are the proudest igbo ppl you'll ever see. Till date, my father refuses to do any business outside igboland and he constantly donate any igbo charity he can find. So yeah, naming your kids an English names does not translate as hatred of heritage.

Olufemiolaolu:
If u ask me op, igbo language is already dead. I have an igbo neighbour dat her children cudnt speak d igbo @ all. This is evident in non existence of igbo local movie. Majority of u igbo are not proud 2 speak ur language. My uncle who lives in d States children cud speak fluent yoruba, even though they havent been 2 Nigeria b4. Ndi igbo ogini? wake up from ur inferiority slumber, because a man who knows his root not is 4ever doomed.

Wtf is with you Yorubas and competition. If you guys have nothing to contribute rather than giving ridiculous competition comments then f2k off cause this conversation in no way concerns yoruba. Neither did anyone ask for una "advice".

BTW: Majority of the Yorubas I know both from my college, Nigerian meetings and work that were born and raised here, I'm yet to meet one that speaks yoruba. Hell I'm yet to meet one that's not imitating African Americans mannerisms to the T. The ones I know that migrated to USA, rarely speak the language even among themselves. So enough with una annoyance. Just like you have a cousin born and raised aboard that speaks yoruba, likewise I have a cousin born and raised in USA that speak, write and read Igbo fluently. I'm not going to use his isolation case as the overall behaviors for all.

ManMountain:
Ape! Yorubas don't give no fuvk about useless angry, sad and highly tribalistic monkey like you.
You will just die from HBP with your anger
Oloriburukuuu

HA you did hence you commented. All I know is I'm grateful poverty is whipping una. I'm grateful una are living like a pauper compared to the rest of southern nigeria. And I'm highly grateful una lives are identical to that of northerners. Go back to your aljamries lifestyle and don't ever disturb me again

ManMountain:
these fools are just ignorant! Oya tell me the leader of Lagos and stop talking trash. Ode oshi.

Fashola is the governor of lagos does not mean he can determine or narrate how citizens in lagos will vote. Go and read about democracy instead of showcasing the famous yoruba crass stupid1ty
