why would all yorubas withdraw from elections? they didn't vote for him second term either and end up splitting votes. FYI
Adekunle was a general isn't that what generals do eliminate all efforts of civil war?
I'm Still not sure how he represents all yorubas

Awolowo supported starvation based on the duration of the existence of Biafra, instead of furthering the attacks in biafra.
sorry he didn't want to shoot up everything like adekunle.
how does he represent all yorubas down to those who were born yesterday

You see, as long as folks like you don't see anything wrong in what those war criminals did in Biafra, mark my word, Igbos would NEVER forgive your tribe.

In your logic, a General's job is to commit genocide and a leader's job is ethnic cleansing!
Even an Igbo boy born today would shudder at such crime, but not you my fellow "compatriot"!

You are being clever by half! The Yorubas didn't vote Obasanjo the first term. By his second term, they all withdrew from the race and refused to field a candidate.
Adekunle committed genocide in Biafra.
Obafemi Awolowo also supported using starvation as a weapon of war and as a result of that 2 million Biafrans (igbos and minorities of Biafra) starved to death. That is a fact!

Go find out who made this statement: "We shoot everything that moves. And when we get to the Igbo heartland, we shoot everything, including things that don't move!"
I'll help you. His name is Benjamin Adekunle -Commander of the third marine commandos who captured Port Harcourt.

sjeezy8:
Are you talkin about obj? cause yorubas didn't vote for him

They did not vote for him but they still made hay! Go ask Otedola and Adenuga and others like them.

and what about the Igbo vice presidents?

and what about Obiageli Ezekwesili, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Frank Nweke, Jr., Onyema Ugochukwu ect were they yorubas?

Are you seriously asking this question Since when did the Federal executive power ever leave the Presidents desk? Even VP Atiku was castrated by Obasanjo.

At least one Yoruba President took a healthy bite of 11 years! And while he was at it, he shared the national assets between the Yoruba and Hausa while others watched helplessly.

I don't even want to go into Biafran war now. You can do your own research and read between the lines (not the usual bullshit they tell you about Igbos causing it). If you are interested!
The "woman" you tried to defend don't even live in Nigeria, have never been to Nigeria and yet had the guts to mouth off here. I suspect you and "her" are the same person using different names. Prove me wrong.

Even in Nigeria of today, what don't they do to keep things the way they have been since after the war? I challenge them to even agree to resource control. I'm not even talking about secession now. Just resource control.
Let them even not kill me for trying to get a federal civil service job or a job in the oil industry. That would be enough!
Ol' boy I now believe you may have never been to Nigeria!

sjeezy8:
o ok explains

What did yorubas do to igbos or should i say biafrans?

WHAT!

The question should be: What didn't the Yorubas do to the Biafrans?

tpia.:
it means crush, break or smash, right?

well, cant help that- I still like the name and it isnt Igbo btw.

If you're referring to tibia which means diviner or spiritualist, its spelt with a b, not a p. Same way pot cant be spelt bot and pick is different from bick.

Tippia or Tippya might be another alternative but it doesnt quite have the same spunk.

So if you knew the meaning, how can you risk some Igbo dudes running away from the "Tipia brand" from day one? You get courage o!

sjeezy8:
is dis guy sick? - old man acting like a child

grow up sir . . . . . . thanks

even sjeezy no dey stoop dat low

I'm actually younger than you, but wiser than your father by far!

Anuofia!

you and your fake identity (AMAKA) want us to forget the past so you can re-enact the genocide in the future. That would never happen. My father told me everything that happened in Biafra. I have read widely about the war, and I would tell my children (whenever I have them) so they never forget those who schemed to wipe out their tribe and people. IDIOT! Keep following me around.

tpia.:
The eagle works for America but doesnt seem to be working for Nigeria.

I'd have preferred a more innocuous name like Tipia airlines or something.

Nybena or Nybend (Niger + benue) airlines

Greenway/s

Golden

Flamingo


etc etc

If you knew what "Tipia" means in Igbo, you probably won't recommend that as a successful brand!
I laugh in Igbo 

Regal and elegant people! Thank God they are coming back home. The girl is a real ASA! Omalicha nwa Igbo!

Onlytruth:
Before we do that, maybe the north should account for our 2 million dead relatives in Biafra of 1967-70.

Poster is schizophrenic

And I say this again!

Gadols:
EFCC ought to be the starting point for Nigeria's cleansing.
What has it achieved since its creation? We had a man there
who by all standards tried to do what ought to be done.
He became s victim of that same institution.
Soludo came, tried some banking reforms, consolidated the industry.
What happened? The Bank MDs and their cohorts saw the masssive money
and we all know what the story is today.
At 50, we ar still being breast fed.
Nigeria is a shame simple put.

And so it shall be in the next 50 years!

@Onlytruth
"Kenechukwu Nnamani (the man who single handedly stopped Obasanjo's third term bid)"


Nigerians and their ways of measuring success!

I really meant it. Look at it this way: If Ken Nnamani took bribes from Obasanjo and supported the third term bid, do you think he could not have rallied other senators in support? He could have accepted huge Ghana -Must-Gos and shared them among the senators and third term would have happened. He didn't and not only that, he gave the most insightful leadership speech I've ever heard to scuttle the third term bid. How can we forget so quickly? I think he would have succeeded in buying over the other senators, and I think he would still be the senate president today. He sacrificed his political future for integrity. Yes, he stopped Obasanjo! For that by the way, he lost out and Igbos lost out too! And I'm proud of him!
He is Ezigbo nwa!

THE AMAKA:
this guy, you are so lame.

At least I'm better than your father who turned a blind eye when you went whoring after ABOKI soldiers during the war. Shameless idiot. Any tribe that lost a war has your type. I'm not shocked! So keep whoring! [size=16pt]BITCH![/size]

To my dead Biafran brothers I say this: As long as those who caused us pain, who still cause us pain, are not taking a vacation, I as your son and brother will never sleep and will never forget you, ALL 2 MILLION OF YOU!

Mcdonalds is a FRANCHISE. What this means in a simple language is that they care A LOT about their BRAND. What this also means is that they would not compromise on the quality of that brand. You can give them $100 million for the same franchise that cost $1 million; if you do not demonstrate how you provide ELECTRICITY 24/7 without running prohibitive costs or compromised brand, they would not come, PERIOD! It is that simple. I believe Nigerians can afford it (it doesn't have to be sited everywhere, just the rich locations), but what about standards, especially when foods needs to be REFRIGERATED 24/7 Those foods are pre-made and shipped in refrigerated ships and trucks to locations all over the world.
WE DON"T HAVE ELECTRICITY. Mcdonalds would never go to Nigeria until that happens. Just watch, they would soon go to Ghana.

grafikdon:
@ Onlytruth, gadogado is a Labanese delirious Islamic jihadist and a reprehensible sharia apostle. He is known for his brazen derogatory racial rhetoric usually aimed at blacks. When it is time to bask in the "glory" of global racial antagonism, he becomes the Lebanese hurling bags of flaming sheit at the ''negroes''. When it is ''open season" for the the Nigerian brand of racial antagonism, he throws on his Hausa or Fulani skin and informs us authoritatively that Igbos were naked disheveled, ghastly, lawless, barbaric ooga-booga-gibberish-muttering savages until the white man brought them civilization.

Notice how he used "we'' when describing ''negores'' as baboons who are only capable of running in a field to entertain white people (the same white people he loves the way a hungry cat loves a mouse) LWKMD . One his greatest dreams is do dip the koran into the Atlantic and make us all bang our head on the floor in the name of Allah, unfortunately that is a pipe dream because the Egbesu, Ifa, Amadioha, Jesus and Abasi Mbok people have filled the Atlantic with their ''books'', there isn't any room left.

I must fault your response to the delirious jihadist on the ground that you cannot be selective in your defense. Your response in a way validates his derogatory view of ''negroes''. The Igbos are not special people and nothing separates them from all the other African ethnic groups apart from language and to some extent culture. The picture I got from your response is: "Sure, blacks are cursed but definitely not Igbos", which IMHO is no different from the diseased inflammatory views of the delirious jihadist. My understanding of your post might be erroneous.

@Nex. Good one.

Your point is well taken. That wasn't the intent of most post though. Nevertheless, I stand down on that.

[size=24pt]WHAT !!![/size]

Maybe after Nigeria brings back 2 million dead Biafrans!

gadogado:
@ezeagu

blacks are a cursed people whether you believe it or not, their condition speaks for itself. or prove me otherwise!

I can now see the main purpose of your thread. Sad for you!

I don't know about "blacks being cursed" but I know about Igbos and I know we are NOT CURSED!
Far from it!
How can a tribe that produced the likes of Philip Emeagwali (Africa's greatest computer genuis), Chike Obi ( Africa's greatest mathematician), Chinua Achebe (who wrote the most popular African prose), Chimamanda Adichie (an emerging literature genuis), Chukwuma Soludo (an economics wizard), Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (world bank MD), Kenechukwu Nnamani (the man who single handedly stopped Obasanjo's third term bid), Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (the young man who saw the future and created a nation) and many more like them, be cursed? These are people whose actions helped shape the history of the black race and the world; whose actions are still influencing the history of the world in science, literature, finance, economics and management and politics.
Igbo could easily be the most blessed tribe in Africa!

So, next time you want to count cursed black people, please count Igbos out! Thank you!

Exactly! Just say Nigerians; or if you must have fellows, then say [size=18pt]"fellow prisoners".[/size]

It has been 49 years of steady improvements in our "nations" ability to normalise chaos.
We have a "nation" can bomb its own citizens when there is no war, after 49 years.
After 49 years, an everlasting ASUU strike is alright, in a "country" that one day hopes to develop.
A "country" that after 49 years of wretched existence; still produces astonishingly corrupt "governments", yet has the guts to talk about vission 2020.

We should be celebrating that we are another year closer to absolute meltdown; only then will we be able to stand on the ashes of the current counterfeit and build on true national foundations.

Classic!

Na "odeshi" go stop am!

Look, TINAPA is a brilliant idea and we should all support it!
I, personally, would spend more of my vacation times from now on at Tinapa instead of Abuja. It is comparatively cheaper, definitely more friendly, calmer, cleaner and is really a genuine effort at self reliance by the state government. All states should copy this spirit and lessen reliance on oil.

There are other ways to anchor the business side of Tinapa, but it cannot be done without power -electricity.

I'm not jumping over SIX FLAGS yet, at least until someone does something serious about the power situation.
I remember vividly how we all rejoiced and jumped when VIRGIN ATLANTIC showed up on our shores. Before we could say aeroplane, they started packing up to leave. So, my slow joy is justified by our recent history.

@ Udezue  & Only Truth


I only turned 22 like 3weeks ago so am not rushing for a husband!!! 

My dad is Not Delta Igbo -- He is from Sapele!!!

My Fiance is Yoruba But His Mum is from Imo state (Ngor Kpala)

I Dont Mind The Mixture--- There is Nothing wrong With It!!! The Family Is One Big Mixture-- Lol-- Cos My Big Brotha Is Married To A Calabar Gal,

The Point Is That We Love & Respect each Other!!! Our Tribes Dont Really Matter---- Although We Tend To Say Things Like-- Hmm Dis Is Your Yoruba Behaviour or How Everyone Jokes About My Bro's Wife Lucky not to be a housemaid and so on!!!  Its all Jokes

Its Wat You Get Wit Educated and Exposed Ppl---- Tribalism Is Not Importaant --We Are Rather Concerned With The General Wellbeing, Growth & Wealth Of The family as a Whole!!!

What can I say to that? I am a stark illiterate!

and I live in the caves of Arochukwu!

Anyway my message is clear. I believe Igbo fathers understand me. Some of them may not agree with me but the message is clear enough.
There are Igbo women running their mouths here on NL whom I suspect are in such relationships. We won't have that happening if we paid more attention to our daughters' suitors. I rest my case!

tpia.:
shouldnt you take this up on the Igbo Kwenu thread and other Igbo websites?

na you sabi where your family treasure and security chest dey.


true talk btw- applies to males from anywhere, dont you think?

Actually it doesn't. Believe me, if Igbomen married from anywhere, there would be no Igbo nation today. We may travel far and wide, but we ALWAYS return home to marry. We just need to rein in our daugthers more. No offense intended. We need to know who the enemy is first.

Of course this goes deeper, but the summary is that we should wait until after Nigeria is resolved one way or another before deciding where to marry from. History teaches us that.
There is nothing more difficult than reining in a love struck daughter even if the devil is her suitor! So, lets take this serious.
A day will come when they can marry anyone, but that day has not yet come. We don't want to have Igbo girls/woman running around Nairaland peddling warped logic. Before we know it, they will lead the enemy inside the family treasure and security chest!

Mepeenu anya o! Ihe a dikwa mkpa!

adaku123:
Hmmm, Dis Is A Bit difficult For me Cos

Mum= Igbo (anambra)
Dad= Delta
Fiance=Yoruba (kogi)

Dont ve any loyalties to the north!!! Most times I thinkk we can do without them !!!! My loyalty is to who i respect and whoever respects me!!! As a nigerian am naturally loyal to my country---

This message goes to Igbo Fathers:
As an Igboman who have passed through HELL in Nigeria, and who is determined to effect a real change ( create Biafra or create a confederal or truly federal Nigeria), I believe I have to say this: Isn't it wise to be more attentive to what our daugthers are doing?

There seems to be an unannounced mad rush for Igbo girls by some of these tribes that hate us the most.
How can we secure our future when our daugthers are in chokehold relationships with these people

I know we can sometimes find ourselves in desperate situations (daughter desperate for a husband), but please try to explain to these girls that the people they are marrying have not apologised for the starvation of 2 million in Biafra.

Igbo fathers, be more attentive to your daughters dates. Our sons have been ok., they always marry Igbo girls, but the Igbo girls!

If we don't direct and orient these girls right, we will wake up one day to find that our nation has been stolen right from under our eyes!
Igbo anya saa nu!

Marrying from the old EAST is ok , but Yoruba??!! Chineke ekwela ihe ojo!

Beaf:
[size=14pt]This is a warning to any genius in Nigeria. Leave fast!
Your "country" does not value you. If you remain, your family will have you on suicide watch, there is no prison worse than having your mind locked up!

If you have brains, then for the sake of your health, leave Nigeria while you are young and do it quickly; or you will end up bleeped up.[/size]

WORD!

banom:
abi, atimes the garl can be irritating,

Igbo people are to much, see how that little 16 year old boy have done some thing that IBB and Wole Soyinka can not do,

Long Live Igbos, The sky is just where we will start,

Ndi oma Ndi oma.

Onye ona ewe ya wewe, onya ona ewe ya tinye isi n'ofia,

Poor lad! His dream will go like those of others before him. In Nigeria, he has to beat the almighty QUOTA SYSTEM to make his dream a reality.
While I was exactly at the same JSS3, I drew up and was determined to build a helicopter. I had only finished my first level Physics but I was puzzled by how a helicopter hung on one spot and spun around in the air. I couldn't sleep for days figuring out how a helicopter does that! My dream died once I realized I couldn't even access a good physics science lab.

Those types of inventions only happened in one African country -BIAFRA!

initiate:
they are gentiles, the sons of esau, suffering from the curse on their fore fathers, unrepentant in their idle worship,

their only hope is to change their ways when there is still time.

the ibo hate every other tribe and even their own blood. they are selfish, greedy unscrupulous , will even sell their mother for 10 naira( imagine how much they will sell their mother in law)

ibo is the only tribe that i know who travel far and wide but never ditch their toga barbarism. we hope the young generation would not make the mistake of their elders.

talking about elders who are the ibo leaders who have improved the lot of their pple? is it azikiwe or ojukwu or orji kalu? or madam rebranding who shd have retricted herself to chasing fake drug barons but just had to go and make a fool of herself in the wrong environment. thats the lot of all the ibo, they all end up badly. we need pple like chimamamnda adichie to come and save the day

truly they aint no jews. they are more likely Iraqis.

Your tribe held Nigeria down for 50 years and is planning to continue for another 50 years!
Igbos must leave you whether you like it or not. You can't survive without the same people you hate so much! Ewu!
Allows us to leave with our curse of Esau. IDIOT!

LONG LIVE THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN!
