@ topic

haaa!!! finally!!!!! these are the igbos i knew! . i said it, they will always defend the truth even if its against their political interest.  may GOD reward the true igbos .

onlytruth, can you see people are individuals?, because someone from ohaneze said, 'igbos will support IBB' does not mean igbos will.

same with the yorubas, if opc or afenifere, supports someone, it does not mean we will automatically support him.   

these ohaneze are trying to sell the "igbo" vote to the highest bidder regardless of the policy.

you and I know that IBB will not give the igbos presidency 2015 , he will do his 8 yrs before he passes it to another northerner not igbos.

all he is doing, is to play with peoples emotions cause he knows that igbos want the presidency and he is using that as his political ladder.

the question is igbos should ask him is if he support an igbo president in nigeria, why not do it now? why after he becomes the president?

my brothers (whether you like it or not, you ALL are still my brothers ) whether you are igbo, yoruba or hausa, lets protect our votes. one man one vote, IBB HAS NOTHING TO OFFER NIGERIA!!!

It's kinda possible. Offspring from an Igbo and Yoruba parent.

But I feel you. . . . the poster is faking the name. It's not by force to join Igbo/Yoruba together

what i meant was, the south should not allow the north to bully the nd.

jason12345:
what about you onlytruth? do you support eze

EzeUche0:
But will you fight for that right? That is the question I must ask.

Or will you blow smoke like the rest of your people did during the Abiola saga?

jason12345:
even if you know it was a lie? now, thats delusional

jason12345:
ode, [size=14pt]we refers to the biafrans[/size]

about the just joined NL. there is absolutely no reason for me to lie

Amen to the bolded part. and the biafra topic thing, i have noticed anytime core facts are produce about biafra, it either you deny it or just ignore. my aim was to end the idea of any "betrayal".

about the invasion thing. pls try it next time, pls

jason12345:
its because of diplomacy and respect for and by other regions in nigeria thats why SS is have a president from their region.
but you e-warriors (ot,dede1, co) have ranted about your bravery and so called invasion. you don't respect other regions but you expect them to respect you no its not possible.
the SS are respected by other regions and they it. you now want to attach yourselves to them to gain respect .

i just joined NL. i have been going through what you guys have been saying. i started off as a neutral and i am still a neutral but the e-warriors have to be honest with themselves. what happened? why are [size=20pt]we [/size]being marginalised? the SS that you so boldly call minorities are running nigeria. why? ask yourselves and you just might break this york of hatred. anyway, pls, when you want to start your trouble, don't involve innocent women and children. good luck in your invasion, you will need it

jason12345:
how can you say that!!!

i don't blame you. you will be in usa when nigerians die in their thousands.

Katsumoto:
Because they have a victim mentality. They tell you that they are superior to you in every endeavour but as soon as they fail to achieve an objective, they blame you.

PhysicsMHD:
Did you even understand what I posted? This isn't about me being offended about being called a minority, lol @ that. I even referred to my group as a minority multiple times, which it IS, thank GOD, I don't want my group having any larger responsibility for the pathetic state of Nigeria beyond its individual state as no one in their right mind could ever point to a group of people who were natural state builders and developers and able to acquire wealth and adopt foreign knowledge to suit themselves well when left to themselves and actually assert that they are nothing without Nigeria. The statements that any particular group should be included in Biafra to prevent a "gang-up" and the statement that they are of no significance are of a contradictory nature. If they are the latter, don't be foolish enough to support their "liberation" into a common destiny and don't bother to dream of including them in your ideal republic.

The crux of it all, you dummy, is that insofar as this or that particular minority is insignificant to you it should NEVER be included in your affairs, but a certain Okonkwo and his superiors, and now you, are actually silly enough to think differently. You can not pull some nonsensical facade about how some minority must join Biafra in order to prevent a gang-up and at the same time spew rubbish about the insignificance of such groups and still be taken for anything other than a fool. If they are insignificant they are not even to be used by you unless they have any intention of joining you. The Eastern region of Nigeria was a completely artificial structure with no more inherent validity than the Nigerian state itself and yet somebody had the nerve to think that some of the  insignificant peoples therein had to be wedded to Biafra over very clear objections while claiming the Biafran area need not be wedded to Nigeria. If you think there will be a gang-up against Biafra, think logically about why this would be before you spew rubbish here. If this new Biafra were to invade an entire region of insignificants under the pretext of "liberation," in the middle belt on their way to take out the head of state in Abuja without any prior agreement with the middle belt and the north that said government should be overthrown, in these modern times-nevermind any area of the former Midwest-the same gang up would probably happen. If within the East some did not want a common destiny with Biafra, what makes you think people outside of it would feel Biafra was of any significance to them? Get it through your head you dunce that "insignificant" groups such as my own who don't ask for nor care to know what this or that major ethnic group think or feel about our indifference to Biafra need not bother to hear double-speakers yarn about how so many people in their state should join Biafra when their insignificant selves have no desire to do so.

Who says I care "what the Igboman would plan next in Nigeria"? Let the Igboman worry about what the Igboman would plan next in Nigeria. It will, after all, be his plan to worry to about. Those who are indifferent to these plans cannot possibly care, until some neo-Ojukwu makes the mistake of repeating the mistakes of 1967 and tries to tell his comrades that a group of people who are a microscopic minority to him should share a common destiny with them in order for them to achieve their goals.

In the future don't pretend that you're anybody who's thoughts are capable of extending beyond his tribe and don't throw out "offers" from one side of your mouth to other groups who you are of no more significance to than the other side of your mouth states they are to you.

I would respond to you further but you've already demonstrated that there are limits to your competence and it would be a fallacy to pretend a mere business "mogul" like yourself (as you keep alluding to in various posts) and somebody who has certainly thought about much deeper and more complex things in one hour than you will in your entire life could ever be on the same level of thought.

[b]It is intellectual dishonesty presenting only one side of a story without balancing it out with the other. I followed that thread you mentioned and I will like you to present here his response to you when you challenged him on the point you are here raising. [/b]That will make for balance before you can now reiterate your point. Please. You are one of the folks I respect his intellectual and unbiased approach to things not that I agree with all . Please uphold that here.

polygamy is not the cause of poverty in Yorubaland.  It is the government of nigeria that is the cause of poverty. Like little groups are given million, majority are given nothing. If you have 3 wives, you have 4 ways of making money.

That way the need for the bank of oduduwa. ti eniyan ba make 10 million. Ko ni le ko kuro ni ile yoruba. ti dangote abi orji kalu ba ni 10 million ko ni le ko owo wa lo.

The same lies NNEKA went to CNN claiming she is from Warri. Igbos are not from warri. And CNN believe the lies.

My father had more than 1 wife. And same from an average Yoruba man, but Igbo people do not have more than 1 wife in thier life. I have step brother. My father like many wives 3 or 4 . I lost count.

but the igbo culture only allows them to have 1 wife. because bride price is so high. But has a Yorubaman, we pay less than $2. And the parent of the bride would now tell you. They dont sell thier children during the ceremony. but Igbos fathers would take the money and even demand million. most igbo men and women get married very late in life. And dont have children early.

The head of redeemed church in Ontario , Pastor Bowo olagbegi, his father had about 40 wives and nearly 80 children
