Mallam buhari, stop insulting Anambra with petty 53million naira. You are in no way trying to better our lives, nor our kids'. We can feed our kids; and they look well fed.
Refund us the 43billion naira Anambra state had spent on fg projects.

FG have the right to kick start the project in any state they like

QuietHammer:
Spare us this bullshit_ sob story. We have had enough. Was he not paid for his idea of the flag? Was any promise made to keep on paying him? Is the designing of the flag the only thing he has done in life?
I don't hear the sob story of the man who composed the national anthem. Give us a break!

chinue Achebe books was also sold and he got paid for his work, yet he still an hero and he will always be celebrated. Just grow beyond your myopic reasoning

zendy:
And how am I a Nigerian? Because Lord Lugard told you so?

I was an Igbo man before Lugard came and that I remain now that he gone back home.

Any other thing that happend in between, na u sabi.

irrespective ur tribe u are a Nigeria. U can't travel out of the country with an Igbo or biafran passport.

Ujoan:
Nigerians are always celebrating mediocrity. Please what is so special about the Nigerian flag?

A simple design with mudane colours, when other countries have exotic flags.

Abeg make we hear word jor

don't know Wht wrong u guys and ur inferiority complex. Must we compare ourself with other country. The color of a flag is useless without it meaning.

zendy:
Maybe for those who believe in 'one Nigeria'

gbenu werey lo. As far as am concerned u are still a Nigerian. U are still living in Nigeria,

Here's a recent picture of the famous man who designed Nigeria’s flag, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, and his children. The icon is still alive but his present living condition is that of a forgotten hero. In October 1959, a year before Nigeria gained independence, He designed the flag and was paid – 100 pounds, equal to $281 in 1959.

Now at his old age, the living legend now lives in one of the poorest areas of Ibadan. His house painted in colours of Nigerian flag is a distinctive feature in the area and it can only be reached by foot.

it just a pity how Nigeria treat people like dis. I know Dis man house and am surprise they ave repented it becos the green and white paint is fading. People like Dis should be celebrated.

DerideGull:
Yoruba film is a drawback to Nollywood endeavors.

gbenu soun joor. How is it a draw back, becos they are acting in Yoruba abi

U go tey dere. No locate angle 90

Kk

waternogetenemy:
Can i just ask y everytime yorubas open their mouth they feel the need to mention igbos whether or not we are involved.


An arguement between Ife and Ugbo featured Igbo? Yorubas Y?

Wht Dis one saying can't u see the king was trying to differentiate between Igbo and ugbo. So as not to confuse already confused people like u.

Hmmmmmm. Oga ooo

logicab:
Reference please.

abi. They just talk with no evidence to back it up

khSteel:
I guess you only see Nollywood from the yoruba films lenses.

Whatever that rocks your boat.

am not saying Yoruba's dominant nollywood. Wht am saying is that u shouldn't assert the domination of Igbo's in nollywood. Thank u

khSteel:
And your point is?

ur assertion that the Igbo's dominated nollywood is wrong

khSteel:
LOL.

I initially classified them as Nollywood films but you in all your wisdom classified them as Yoruba film.

Well, yoruba films are a subset of the larger Nollywood films; however, for most Nollywood films, we all know the cultures that are most prominent among the pack.

I believe you got the intended message.

u are getting ur assertion wrong. Yoruba actress and and actors are nollywood actresses and actors. Just that they choose to act in Yoruba instead of English. Wht statistic do u have to affirm that the IGbo tribe is dominant in nollywood. U ave no statistical figure to back it up , u are only guessing

khSteel:
You just buttressed my point exactly. If a Namibia girl loves a yoruba film and artists - just think of other stuffs you (we) can sell to her and her people.

Africa is a bigger market (than the Nigerian market if FG continue to decide not to be progressive) that we can all go out there and compete favourably without the FG using its negative policies to cut short our growth.

We want Biafra simply to remove the hegemonic FG from limiting our growth success.

BTW, Nollywood has more global reach than your yoruba films yet it doesn't take away the fact that yoruba films have made great impact internationally.

Also, I believe you can debate intelligently with insults.

Yoruba films is the same thing with nollywood they are the same thing.

khSteel:
Once we secure Biafra, we can afford to do without the Nigerian market.

Go to the interiors of Kenya and other African villages, the movies they watch most is Nollywood, they only Nigerian culture they relate to is the Igbo culture.

Guess what, Africa is a far bigger market than Nigeria. And we won't have some shitty overbearing FG suppressing us with useless policies.

God only knows were u get ur assertion. Once chatted with a Namibia girl and she texted a Yoruba word to me, I was surprise and I asked her how she came across the word she sed she heard it from a Yoruba movie she watched. This girl even knows a lot of yoruba actor and actress than me living in nigeria. Pls leave ur enclavement and stop believing all the fallacy u heard from uncle chinedu during bed time story

There isn't any "victim mentality" about his submission. Because it's acceptable in your culture, doesn't make it acceptable in ours. This coward behaviour & harassment of our people needs to cease!

Wht am saying is that the extortion is everywhere and it should stop.

freeze001:
This is madness! Can our governors and NASS reps get busy and see to d immediate dismantling of these illegal checkpoints! [b]What crime has one committed to be Igbo in Nigeria?[/b]They keep subjecting us to inhumane treatments yet when we insist on parting ways since they cannot explain our offence, they tag us terrorists or claim we are playing d victim card...how do u justify this level of wickedness? Is this the insecurity that is being checked?

why are u always emotional about everything. Wht this victim mentality all about.

There are illegal check point in the east so also we have them here in the west. I school in akure and whenever am traveling from Ibadan to akure I always come across nothing less than 11 illegal police checkpoint, and our driver is always force to part away with his money at each checkpoint.


Illegal Checkpoints are not only in the east they are everywhere and government must do something about it

Geology is the study of earth and its minerals content using the rocks in which the earth is composed

ademasta:
Thanks a lot. Please can you give me some reasons

Urban planning, in university, is usually a combination of geography and architecture, along with some elements of economics, sociology and political science. They offer the same courses with architecture student In the first year and second semester of there second year in the university

Geography is the study of place and the relationship between people and dere environment

Urp is better.

ShootToKill:
A great Pro-Biafran who died for his belief like many Biafrans.

Bravery will always attract global respect unlike those ones defeated by menstruating dahomey ladies and forever enslaved the caliphate. Biafrans refuse to bow to oppression 45 years after the cease-fire.

u can also set ur self on fire to show the whole world how brave u are .

zendy:
Dont mind them. It only remains for FFK to tell them he slept with Mary Slessor and they will believe that too.

Bruce Mayrock needs more recognition from lovers of freedom for his selfless act of heroism.

I

Don't even know wht to say
