OgidiBoy:
What is Gods name would an Igbo man be looking for in Haiti. From all the stuff we see on TV there economy and security is not that much better than Nigeria's.

You missed the point. There are Igbo Haitians (slave descendants of Igbo origin), not Igbo immigrants. Take correction.

Gayigaskia:
At least i don't prostut*** my sister for money

Actually you do far worse. You marry them off at 9 year old and have a homosexual culture fully incorporated into your culture called "dan dawudu".
If you hate money so much, why are you stealing Nigeria's money in billions of dollars?

To my Haitian brothers and sisters, I wish you God's speed. If Africa isn't a weird continent, we would have provided more aid to you. Take heart and wait on God. you remain in our prayers.
Much love.

Gayigaskia:
[b]i think these ibos when they get their won country [/b]they will act like Ethiopians do when they come in the US [we are different from africans]

Who is talking about Igbo country now, eh? We dey naija put forever, so calm down aboki.  

Gayigaskia:
I'am tire of hearing this ibo poo, if ibo are so smart why they don't stay build their states instead of moving to places like Timuktu . Let them have their own state so that Kalu can take more of their money to open a bank in Gambia.

There is nothing "gaskia" about your rant. I hope you haven't already gotten tired of our everlasting unity. I have a right to live anywhere in Nigeria. Don't forget that. I need money to build my land and I'm not afraid to hustle for it even in Timbuktu. At least I'm not waiting for oil money like you.  

Abi you never see the kind mansions wey we dey build for Igboland? You think say dem dey fall from heaven?

lol akamubrain (akigbemaru) thinks his people codified Igbo language and beating his chicken chest. What a retard

He is resolutely retro-focused while we Igbomen are busy building ourselves into the indomitable group in Nigeria. I once theorized that once we forget about Biafra, we will inherit Nigeria for sure and id'i'ots like akigbemaru will be permanently neutralized. We will colonize them even in their lands and they can't do sh'it about it. That is the future I await. Lo, it is already around the corner.
While he is busy celebrating Oyo empire (frankly he has nothing else to celebrate), we will build the 21st century Igbo empire inside the everlasting one Nigeria It is written in heaven and is happening as akigbemaru digs Google.  lmfao!

Ibime:
hahahaha. . . whats next. . . Northern Senators accuse South-East of frustrating constiution amendment?

We've heard all these divide and rule tactics from the North before. . . it may be true that some SS senators oppose handover to Jonathan, but that is a drop in the ocean compared to the no of Northern senators who oppose handover.

If Im lying, how many seats does South-South hold in the Senate?

Don't mind ndu_chuks. I like reading his mind occasionally to know what goes on in that thick head of his.
He fascinates me with his skills in divide and rule. 

The guy is almost a genius.

SEFAGO:
Smart man. You should follow his advise, get off NL, and start improving the lives of the miserable majority in alaigbo.

I may already be doing it. I know that nairaland is not necessarily your average naija crowd, but I want to learn and teach here first before moving on. I'm already getting to the end of my "missionary journey" on nairaland.

The constitution is still a legal document and its intents are interpreted by the law courts. It is only the "Grand law" but still law nevertheless. It is also a legislative document (which is why the legislature can amend it as they are currently trying to do), never mind that ours was imposed by the military.

SEFAGO:
LOL, inferior to igbo right . You wish. I just see these comments over NL where people make it sound that the igbo are intrinsically more industrial, morally upright, and generally better than other ethnic groups. Its really not true lol.

I remember when I was a kid (about 10 or 11 years), I and my cousins used to measure our heights to know who was tallest. My father used to tell us that height wasn't an issue in life. He said that the most important measure of a man is his superlative contribution to the human essence, not his height!
In Igbo language it is called nke onye na emekari -meaning -that which sets you apart from all other human beings, that in which you excel.
You may not understand what drives me as an Igboman. I just gave you a hint.

I don't expect any human being to feel inferior to me because the word does not exist in my Igbo lexicon.

mama-gee:
Jonathan Goodluck is going to be just like Yaradua
I hope he's not elected as president, he's doing okay as Vice President.

I hope you are speaking for south south people. These governors may be going rogue.

What about section 145?
Section 141 provides for a president and a vice which were both sworn into office same day.
In my view, even if the constitution is vague on this issue (which it is not), there is what is called legislative intent of every law. What did the writers of this constitution have in mind when they decided to provide for a president and a vice?
That is really the issue.

SEFAGO:
No, your post did not make sense, so i decided to ignore it until someone interpreted it:
IGBO PEOPLE ARE HUMAN. THEY ARE NOT SPECIAL OR GENETICALLY DIFFERENT.

The implied meaning of that comment is that you are feeling inferior to the Igbo. I never said we are special. All I said was that we aren't afraid of challenges, especially in the context of a one Nigeria. Personally I believe we have already survived the greatest challenge possible in a country like Nigeria. We have learned from that challenge and are continuing to invest in our survival. We do so fearlessly and diligently. Nothing special about that.

ndu_chucks:
biko, enlighten us. Why would you prefer Jonathan to, let's say, Ojukwu or anyone else? No need to be afraid to answer, you are safe, for now.

What if I tell you that we want the constitution to work as written? Would that be asking too much of your folks who are hell bent on keeping power?

ndu_chucks:
^^^

How are we sure you people and your ilk are not the ones bribing the south/south senators into working against Jonathan. One can't put anything past you secessionists.

One hopes you are using aboki as a term of endearment here - I recall that when you people say aboki, you really mean Ewu.

No relax I meant the real aboki - friend, enyim, got it?

You think we gain anything by doing that? That's silly and you know it. We prefer Jonathan, but I won't tell you why.

ndu_chuks you don come again. Wetin you want now?   
My very special aboki!

Don't believe everything you read in the news.

Chineke me e! They all suddenly took off

No comment again?
Na wa for these yoruba folks o!

SEFAGO:
Back to topic anyways,

Why I spent so much time on history because I wanted to draw facts that the igbo people are not as special as they like other people to think. This is a long time ago history, but so would biafra after a century passes. So y'all should continue wasting cyberspace- 100 years from now there would be still one nigeria

I can see that is what all of you are so worked up about; like the one Nigeria you know today (which made you kings after a monumental treachery and back stabbing) will remain the same 100 years to come. The mistake some of you make is to assume that the Igbo need Nigeria to disintegrate before they can survive. The beauty of being an Igboman is that we aren't afraid of any challenges. We survived when your fathers thought we would die. I cannot wait for the Nigeria of 100 years from now!

I prophesied to you guys that a time will come when you will put in more efforts to divide Nigeria and we Igbos will fight you to death to keep it one. With the likes of akamubrain (was it akigbemaru) pervading your land, you will beg, scheme, betray, fight, bend over to be f**cked and all, but it will be too late.

We can't wait for the future. It thrills me!

On a parting note, I would give the following advise to Igbo people. I came to nairaland to study Nigeria and I have learned a lot of lessons. I still keep referring my Igbo folks to this site to embark on that education. Our fathers were too idealistic about Nigeria and Africa and we as a people have paid dearly for it, and if we don't learn, we will continue to pay for it. The civil war and its aftermath was all the lessons we needed to learn.

As someone who hitherto didn't believe in stereotyping a people, I was amazed at how opinions from some parts of Nigeria closely mirror long held stereotypes of those parts. To be plain, the tendency to betray unscrupulously and scheme devilishly to retain unfairly secured advantages continue with great zest in western Nigeria. So, to the westerners, the bottomline is to remain on top of the corporate food chain. Sell whoever needs to be sold, betray whoever needs to be betrayed, the end justifies the means.

We must accept the challenge of playing this evil game to ensure our survival. For 40 years we have been subjected to all types of "Nkali", to borrow from my sister Chimamanda Adichie. All we really need to overcome that Nkali is to master this evil game. The future is really looking bright for us provided we don't fall for these fraudulent schemes of pro-democracy this or PRONACO that. Let us just play it like everybody else. We are already winning, and all we need to do is to consolidate our gains. The future is ours!   I rest my case.

[color=teal]Thank God you're not!!! E se Oluwa, E se Oluwa, ife re si Nigeria o poh, ese oluwa [/color]

A thief's brother (or is it sister) comes to his defense!
Na Yar adua go thank am when he comes back.  

If I were Yar adua, I would arrest this thief called Obasanjo, put him in jail and throw away the keys! That would be my first act as a "revived" president. Then I would move in on his loot.

PDP tackles Obasanjo for betraying Yar adua.

akigbemaru:
Onlytruth,
You know you can't match because history and advantage never be on your side. I may start quoting from now till tomorrow. I have all my source of information intact. Your brain is vague, you can never provide link or source for anything you say.
You said your forefathers fought for national cake? Which one is that ooooo. Please, let your Biafran nation come through. No more oil Oyel money like your say for you again moochers.

And your source is wikipedia, right? How retarded.
What source do I need to teach me Nigerian history which continue even as we speak? Your brother Obasanjo just betrayed  the same man he imposed on Nigeria using the most diabolical methods.
Today he is scheming for relevance and survival, and I'm looking and laughing at him. Your time is getting closer and closer in Nigeria. Like we say in Igboland, anyi ga anu mkpu unu - we shall hear your cries soon.

This retard akigbemaru is also the worst coward from his land. He always waits until his opponents log out before he tip toes in to vomit trash. What a pathetic i'd'iot'.

Like I said in another post, I wish the Becomrich scheme succeeds minus the theft of mid west and delta. I know for a fact that no Nigerian will miss you guys, you and your empire across the sea. All you have done since independence is to fleece Nigeria and create enmity among peoples which enables you to continue making hay. Our eyes are opening and you just completed your two terms under Obasanjo. The future is looking very interesting.

M-Workers:
Kudos to Kosovo, Blacksta and other patriotic Nigerians at home and in diaspora! It's high time we said NO to the reign of political terrorism and administrative mediocrity being unleashed on intelligent and enterprising Nigerians by PDP (Party Deceiving People).

Another Save Nigeria protest is coming up in New York on Friday 22 January 2010 at the Nigerian consulate in USA. Charity has begun at home in Nigeria here but it will not end up here before PDP end us. Sanity must reign in Nigeria again. Governor Babs Fashola of Lagos State is a classic example of possibility of practical and selfless leadership that is abundant in Nigeria.

WTF

What are these people really talking about. I remember my classmate Chima Ubani died while hustling for one these nonsense activities, but today no one even remembers his name. I would advise my Igbo folks to stay away. Caveat emptor.

^^^
Just last year, a cup of garri was N5. This year it is N30! That is my idea of hyperinflation and it is all because of a nation forced on me. It is the height of selfishness to assume I would just turn a blind eye to the suffering of my people in a hopeless country. If they are not happy, there is no way I can be happy,even in heaven.
Selfish folks can never understand me, but that is their problem!

Add reporter to your list of infamy! Yoruba.

Katsumoto:
You clearly have a problem. Why are you getting all worked up because of one individual? You let your emotions get the better of you. You decided to spew the vitriol against the Yoruba because of one person. Your real feelings are coming out now. At the end of the day, you are one individual and you are entitled to your opinions. I doubt anyone would be worried about your opinion. I would be concerned if most Igbo people feel this way. But until then, I will continue to relate to each individual as an individual.

One individual? Check your history in Nigeria again and match it with the mindset of akigbemaru , then show me any difference.

Let us look at certain facts. Lagos is home to many Igbo people. They love it there; they are respected there. There are even Igbo individuals who are part of Fashola's government. If most Igbo felt this way, they wouldn't be in the West. Now please enlighten, out of all the states in the East, which state(s) have other tribes (I mean from the West and the North) in their cabinets?

Here you go again. Let me be brief, if the akigbemarus of yorubaland (and they are many) have their way, Igbos won't be living in any part of yorubaland. Mind you they are living there as part of the problems of surviving after the war. If Enugu or Owerri had an international airport since after the war, I doubt there would be this number of Igbos in yorubaland. So, we stay in Lagos not because we want but because we don't have a choice for now. If we had the same number of yorubas in anambra, we would appoint one of them to cabinet too. It doesn't show we love them. It is called window dressing.

While the Nigerians resident in Nigeria are getting on with their lives, those who live abroad continue to spread hate against other tribes and advocate for disintegration and secession. You are based in the US, live a comfy live, and yet you want to plunder Nigeria into chaos because you feel betrayed.

So because I'm based abroad like you I cannot comment on things that affect me even abroad? What are you smoking? You think Nigeria's mess only stops at the international gateways?  
As long as my land is forcibly kept part of Nigeria, I have a right to comment on all issues concerning Nigeria.

I salute the ingenuity of Arthur Nzeribe and Uche Chukwumerije.

docheja:
@ onlytruth

Sorry! i thougth you meant what you have been saying.Now i know aint serious minded.

WTF?
What is serious about your pipe dreams? You deny my version of seriousness and expect me to embrace yours.
Nigeria's greatest problem is idiocy.
