Seriously, I don't think this Jason guy can either read or comprehend.
Since when did being a military or police officer in Igboland translate to being Igbo police or military officer.
Ever heard of the term "post" or "transfer"?
Those people should be posted or transferred back to their Northern region, PRONTO.

I'm laughing at the silly topic the OP chose, Massob "fears" Boko Haram.
The OP is daft because he cannot see that MASSOB is looking for an excuse to become armed, or move gear into armed struggle. It is obvious enough to me.
The dumbest thing Boko Haram would do is to attack the East, 'cos that would indeed signal the beginning of Nigeria's disintegration.
OP should quit smoking kaya.

Would you believe now if I tell you that the computer you are using now is not real? absolutely not!
Would you believe now if I tell you that you are in a round-shape planet called earth revolving around a big giant star called sun? I am sure you will.

Okay, If I tell you that before 1890 (121 years ago) there was nothing called Nigeria, it doesn't exist in any place, at any time.

Okay, come to think of the name England, it was formed in year 937 (1,074 years ago), there was England at that year.

We have a difference of 953 years, that is almost 10 centuries after England was formed, that the name, not even the country, just the name Nigeria was created or introduced by the same English (I meant somebody from England whose country was created a thousand year ago).

My point here is, cannot we reason to our own selves and think? What is Nigeria? Why Nigeria?

According to History, they were out of full consensus when the place called Nigeria was amalgamated and formed as a country. There were lots of propaganda, lots of disagreements, but some elements in power were forced to accept this amalgamation or face the conspiratorial consequences.

Example now, we are in the 21st century, will you believe me ever I say that Iran will join the EU? Absolutely Not, well, the difference between the North of Nigeria and the South of Nigeria is as visible and clear as the difference between IRAN and EU. It is not that there are no Christians in Iran or there are no Muslims in EU, they are all there, but the History, the Culture, the Language, everything is clearly and visibly different, crystal clear.

Wao! This auwal87 guy is one smart dude! 

The most powerful point he made is that an Englishman whose country had lasted for 900 years came to Africa to start a country from scratch, as if there were no distinct nations in Africa then.
There were many nations. Only that the British would not have benefited the way those nations were. So they merged them with dissimilar nations to create a permanently unstable Nigeria.
Imagine Iran in EU! I dey laugh.   

Good one auwal87

Bros Chyz,

It think he is a northerner. He lives in Lagos and has interacted with Igbo people in Lagos (mainly Anambra folks). So he thinks he can pass off as either youruba or Igbo. But i know the typical mentality of a hausa/fulani/kanuri (they all speak Hausa and people think in languages). I was here when he joined NL for the first time. He has also called for yoruba to be wiped out. No yourba would do that.

ok my yoruba brothers, No vex me at all just leave the north alone. ok and we are cool same with the igbos leave the north alone and we are

No we won't leave the north alone. They are at the CORE of Nigeria's problems. They must leave Nigeria or be thrown out.

Did these people obtain the necessary permit to assemble in such a large number? I don't believe you can blame law enforcement officers for enforcing the law. There is always trouble where 100s of members of armed and unarmed vigilante groups roam around the street without  necessary authorization. Why must GEJ cheapen the presidency by interfering in an ordinary law enforcement affair while ignoring more pressing security issues.

Ol boy you no de shame sef? Na wa o!

One of these days MASSOB will be hounded into taking up arms. I pity Nigeria then!

My questions are simple.
What are the names of the NASDRA boss and those of the top leadership of NASDRA, and what are their qualifications or accomplishments before being appointed to NASDRA positions?

What are the names of the Nigerian scientists who designed the Nigeria Sat X, and what are their qualifications and backgrounds?

Once you answer these questions, you will come face to face with the truth.

Don't be surprised to see a "Alhaji" this or "Mallam" that as the so called scientists.
Only in Nigeria would you find a mallam scientist.

these ppl are here for business and they can always go back home. so i won't bother much about this but[b] [size=16pt]if our gov't is serious they should be monitored just the way they follow us like flies in their country.[/size][/b]

Nigeria is still one country because these same foreigners prop it up. THEY LOVE IT THE WAY IT IS -OPEN, VULNERABLE and EXPLOITABLE. That is why every smart Nigerian must reject the current Nigeria we have. We need a new one where we can design a system capable of producing the bolded.

I think we may be nearing the end of Nigeria's problems.
God is not asleep. There is chaos in the kingdom of darkness.

Where is my popcorn?

After reading this article, the first thing that came to my mind is that we may need a "Slap Police" in Igboland.
We Ndigbo talk down ourselves too much! The OP is either very ignorant or she is very narrow minded (letting her personal life becloud her judgement of the greater Igbo culture).

The truth is that under the Original Igbo culture (not this current fake one) the female enjoy same things as men.  I have a long list, but I will handle just a few -the right of the female child in a non-male inheritance scenario.

Though Igbo culture is patrilineal, there is still a provision in some Igbo cultures (mine for example) for a man who failed to produce a male child to reserve one of his daughters (not marry her off) to stay home and have babies at home. This is one of the VERY FEW times when a female is allowed to have babies at home without marriage. This female is permitted to have as many babies as possible at home, and from any man outside her clan (umu nna) until she makes a male child. 100% of the time, these females produce male heirs to their families. They are treated like men -they attend every meeting where the father should have attended in the village. This practice is still surviving in my town and I personally know one family just like that. NO ONE dares talk about them in derogatory way.

In the ORIGINAL traditional Igbo marriage in my town (not the current fake one), after the bride price is paid, the female follows the man home for one week. She would return after that one week to tell her family whether she wants to marry the man or not. In that one week, she must test out EVERY aspect of the prospective husband. If she so much as develops a cold feet, the bride price is returned to the man, no question asked. End of story. In other words, she only marries by INFORMED consent.
And even after marriage, if she wakes up one day to find that her husband has stopped being a good husband, she simply buys a small cutlass called Mma ekwu (in my Nnewi Igbo), and proceeds to give it to any man of her choice whom she fancied (outside her own clan of course). She becomes the man's wife (minus her children who belongs to her first husband) after a small ceremony following her action. END OF STORY. That made men in my culture to always sit up and be good husbands in the olden days.  There are many others that pertain to families allowing a female to get pregnant by any man of her choice (minus relatives of course) in cases where husbands are impotent or the family lineage suffers from premature deaths. Again NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
These are female rights in the ORIGINAL Igbo culture.
Igbo culture had answers for almost EVERYTHING as far as marriage is concerned. 

Modern Igbo dropped most of these things and copied strange ones; and even though we send our girl kids to school more than any other Nigerian group, people like the OP is hung up on the things we dropped, not knowing that we had these things before.

Before any Igbo should criticize any aspect of our culture, he/she should go home and ask some hard questions before going online to talk ignorantly.

Igbo culture is RESILIENT and aims to solve EVERY social problem.

Fixed. Only thing that made sense. You should use smileys more often.

Like I previously said, the international world would disagree with the garbage you posted up there. No matter where Yorubas are moved, from Haiti to Cuba to Brazil, their satanic worship and gbomo gbomo never die.

Do AA of Igbo ancestry even know anything about their ancestors?

Now, that is fixed!

We are waiting for una. hehe!

[b]How in the name of Beelzebub [/b]are they going to achieve that. Ala ti ko ni le se.

Your demon father cannot save you from the destiny you chose out of a natural inclination to fear, wickedness and betrayal.
You will face that destiny.

This shouldn't be news anymore.
This is what I know for ages!

If the Yorubas declare independence today, believe me there will be jubilation in other parts of the country. The papers will be signed immediately and allow them secede without a second thought.

LOL!
Ordinarily, the bolded would have been the happiest day of my life. But I remember that they would attempt to steal my properties in Lagos. Therefore, for me there are only two possible outcomes:

(1) Chase all of those forafukers to Benin republic
(2) Internally colonize them in Nigeria


After a thorough reflection, I remembered the words of Nelson Mandela:
The greatest punishment you can give to your enemy is to have him serve you.

So, I'm inclined to take the second option.

This is how you folks ruin Nigeria. Open chicanery and fraud!
You take a Triangle and pretend it belongs in a round hole!
That is why we don't have electricity. You can't even handle a simple talk forum. SMDH.

How did this thread end up in Foreign Section of this site?
Since when did Nigerian internal politics become an international affair?
Una no dey shame sef for dis una open bias on Yoruba issues?
