₦airaland Forum

This thread is not needed OP.
You should be calling for peace not fanning the embers of war.

Stop this madness now.

How did this make FP?

This man understands, if nothing else, the principles of power and methods of keeping the masses happy.


Politicians sha.....

For once, I agree with Reno.

cruzyteejay:
i joined same year you did,and yea the NCAN CREW was hyper active then,the beefing was real but not one sided,i nearly quit nairaland bcus i can't stand the bigotry.....well,there is no point in arguing on this topic,we can only crave to make things better for all.shalom

Same here. Ncan is even no longer as funny as it was before. Now it's just the same Shit over and over again.
Indeed let's just focus on making things better. No use crying over split milk. Peace....

What sort of dumbfuck is this

We need to sit up!!

cruzyteejay:
the scenario on nairaland is not a case study,i hardly take them serious......am not their type,hence i don't reason that way,besides it has been a two sided game unlike what you stated as igbos being the defaulters

When exactly did you join this forum??

I joined this forum in 2015 and believe me, the name calling was indeed one sided then. I had to deactivate my account because the nonsense was getting too much.

And secondly, Nairaland being a faceless forum allows people to unleash their true thoughts unlike facebook and others.


Don't even attempt to use reverse psychology bro.

Terkimbi01:
bros, it is time for all of us to be objective here.

if all the other tribes in Nigeria came against your tribe the way all our tribes went against the Igbo, your tribe too would have love to alienate themselves.

but get my point, this fight is not for Igbo nor about Igbo.

the word Igbo mean a different thing to the northern felons.

when the chips are down, every one us is either nyamiri or infidel.

or, you don't know how many Yoruba's who have lost their lives over some silly religious stuffs in the mirth?

if I can recall, the woman teacher killed by secondary school students in Yobe state because she touched koran was a Yoruba woman.

come out of sentiment

I am not actually being sentimental here.
I fully support the Afenifere group who condemned the Kaduna Declaration. I hate tribal wars and stuff. And it's not like I'm ignorant of the Fulani's murderous tendencies



But the issue is more convoluted than you're presenting it.

I hear this "anti-igbo" thing a lot and I find it odd. Wasn't the last president closely tied with the Ibos. Didn't all the main ministerial appointments go to the Igbos?? I honestly wonder what you mean by this "other tribes against the Igbos". It's bull to me.


Again, I reiterate, I condemn the Kaduna Declaration but let's not act like Igbos are Saints.

cruzyteejay:
It was never an igbo problem,its a national problem,just that the igbos took the gaint step,since the call for restructuring fell on deaf ears,only if some of my yoruba brothers do think deep,then they would have reasoned it from a national angle,and not from the tribal aspect,hence their conclusion that igbos are nuisance

Don't even get it twisted.

Yorubas fully support restructuring, in fact,we have the best chance of surviving in our own region.



However Ipob has continously shown themselves to be anti-yoruba, the vituperative attacks on NL bear witness.


Don't even think of pulling this nonsense on us here when we all know the truth.

OP you have a point but unfortunately the Ibos alienated themselves from other tribes.



Why should I fight for someone who will only call me a coward and believe he is the smartest at every opportunity

Same way I view female gamers


A rare and special breed....

This is getting interesting....



I must say, now I fully appreciate being from the SW, with no stakes in this.....






God bless us all

Hehehehe


Who knows where this country is heading



I think I just love right now that I'm a Southwesterner. Zero stakes in all of this





God bless us all....

Thia is good news




God bless eVery Nigerian, North, South West, East

Thia is good news

vayne:
Ultimatum or no ultimatum,our stance remains thesame!

Let the country divide peacefully after which everyone can relocate!

You can't ask anyone to relocate when the division process has not been concluded,conclude it and see if any Igbo remains anywhere outside igboland!

If the north wants a breakup,they have their members in the HOR through which to channel their idealogies!

1)Why is the SW so scared of condemning the approach of the north towards secession as it did to NK led agitation,under the guise of "following due peaceful process",what are they scared of?

2)why can't the SW tell the north to represent their case through their members in the house of reps like they always tell igbos?

3)why haven't they threatened the north with war like they did to Igbos?

What are they scared of?

1) The SW through Afenifere has officially clamoured for peace to reign in the North and has advised each tribe to calm down

2) The Northeners did not scream secession over every facebook page like a pregnant woman who is in labor.
The only times they talked about secession was when Ibos claimed they can't do without them.

3)Why should we threaten war with the North??
You folks shouted everywhere that you're not scared of war yet here you are attacking the Southwest for not "threatening the North" for whatever purpose that has cropped out of your mind.

It's like you folks don't learn from History. This is 1966/67 playing itself out again.

You abuse every tribe and claim yours is superior yet you're asking that same tribe to declare war on your "enemies"


Ori e ti yi

oladeebo:
pls ipob is igbo! igbo is ipob!
baibu ni; koo omo re ko lee fun e ni simi!
all the problems of Nigeria today is igbo! if igbo quit, Nigeria will be better! bitter true!

Bro, I can only talk for the Ibos I talk with here in Osun; they are not ipobians!

No.... You can't just put Nigeria's problem on one person or one tribe. This was what led to the 1966 massacres and the Rwandan Genocide! No tribe is all wicked or all good. Even we Yorubas have some internal problems, I'm sure you know. How about the Fulani's born to rule mentality. How about their destructive rampages and lack of concern for human lives??

Look at the big picture man!
Nigeria won't be magically better if Ibos leave. That is a delusion of the highest order. In fact, we would have some problems because of the dearth of the Ibo man's business innovations.

Awon agba so pe "Orififo, ko tumoesi Oribibe".



Let me ask, if you are asked to choose between Biafra and Arewa, who will you choose??

oladeebo:
igbo had liberated from her colonial master to her own sovereign state is calling for war!
you said marriage is not by force and your husband send you packing and you are begging to stay!
isn't that stupid!
hun omo igbira ni mi!

Egbon, I've conversed with Ibos in real life and not all of them support the ipob ideology.



Most of them just want to do business and make their cash. We shouldn't support evil no matter where it comes from..



I detest Ipob tho... They are anti-yoruba and I don't really spare them any thoughts.

Angelanest:
Guess you know more than the Facebook user who witnessed the incident himself.

Read the thing and tell me whether it makes sense for your ears

The story doesn't even add up at all..



He slapped her because "she was begging him to make way and he refused"

Are you talking to 5 year old kids or what




The more likely story is that the woman harassed him with the bike and the man obviously questioned her. And instead of the woman apologizing, she probably descended into showering him with abusive words that the man couldn't take anymore till he slapped her....



Women! God's most beautiful and dangerous creatures

oladeebo:
why?

Instead of you to call for peace, you're here doing nonsense.


Shey omo yooba ni e sha??

Below is the speech delivered by the Nigerian Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, during the celebration of Nigeria’s independence on October 1 1960 at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos.

"Today is Independence Day. The first of October 1960 is a date to which for two years every Nigerian has been eagerly looking forward. At last, our great day has arrived, and Nigeria is now indeed an independent sovereign nation.
Words cannot adequately express my joy and pride at being the Nigerian citizen privileged to accept from Her Royal Highness these Constitutional Instruments which are the symbols of Nigeria’s Independence. It is a unique privilege which I shall remember for ever, and it gives me strength and courage as I dedicate my life to the service of our country.
This is a wonderful day, and it is all the more wonderful because we have awaited it with increasing impatience, compelled to watch one country after another overtaking us on the road when we had so nearly reached our goal. But now we have acquired our rightful status, and I feel sure that history will show that the building of our nation proceeded at the wisest pace: it has been thorough, and Nigeria now stands well- built upon firm foundations.
Today’s ceremony marks the culmination of a process which began fifteen years ago and has now reached a happy and successful conclusion. It is with justifiable pride that we claim the achievement of our Independence to be unparalleled in the annals of history. Each step of our constitutional advance has been purposefully and peacefully planned with full and open consultation, not only between representatives of all the various interests in Nigeria but in harmonious cooperation with the administering power which has today relinquished its authority.
At the time when our constitutional development entered upon its final phase, the emphasis was largely upon self-government. We, the elected representatives of the people of Nigeria, concentrated on proving that we were fully capable of managing our own affairs both internally and as a nation. However, we were not to be allowed the selfish luxury of focusing our interest on our own homes. In these days of rapid communications we cannot live in isolation, apart from the rest of the world, even if we wished to do so. All too soon it has become evident that for us Independence implies a great deal more than self-government. This great country, which has now emerged without bitterness or bloodshed, finds that she must at once be ready to deal with grave international issues.
This fact has of recent months been unhappily emphasized by the startling events which have occurred in this continent. I shall not labour the point but it would be unrealistic not to draw attention first to the awe-inspiring task confronting us at the very start of our nationhood. When this day in October 1960 was chosen for our Independence it seemed that we were destined to move with quiet dignity to place on the world stage. Recent events have changed the scene beyond recognition, so that we find ourselves today being tested to the utmost We are called upon immediately to show that our claims to responsible government are well-founded, and having been accepted as an independent state we must at once play an active part in maintaining the peace of the world and in preserving civilisation. I promise you, we shall not fail for want of determination.
And we come to this task better-equipped than many. For this, I pay tribute to the manner in which successive British Governments have gradually transferred the burden of responsibility to our shoulders. The assistance and unfailing encouragement which we have received from each Secretary of State for the Colonies and their intense personal interest in our development has immeasurably lightened that burden.
All our friends in the Colonial Office must today be proud of their handiwork and in the knowledge that they have helped to lay the foundations of a lasting friendship between our two nations. I have indeed every confidence that, based on the happy experience of a successful partnership, our future relations with the United Kingdom will be more cordial than ever, bound together, as we shall be in the Commonwealth, by a common allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, whom today we proudly acclaim as Queen of Nigeria and Head of the Commonwealth.
Time will not permit the individual mention of all those friends, many of them Nigerians, whose selfless labours have contributed to our Independence. Some have not lived to see the fulfilment of their hopes—on them be peace—but nevertheless they are remembered here, and the names of buildings and streets and roads and bridges throughout the country recall to our minds their achievements, some of them on a national scale. Others confined, perhaps, to a small area in one Division, are more humble but of equal value in the sum-total.
Today, we have with us representatives of those who have made Nigeria: Representatives of the Regional Governments, of former Central Governments, of the Missionary Societies, and of the Banking and Commercial enterprises, and members, both past and present, of the Public Service. We welcome you, and we rejoice that you have been able to come and share in our celebrations. We wish that it could have been possible for all of those whom you represent to be here today: Many, I know, will be disappointed to be absent, but if they are listening to me now, I say to them: ‘Thank you on behalf of my Thank you for your devoted service which helped build up Nigeria into a nation. Today we are reaping the harvest which you sowed, and the quality of the harvest is equalled only by our gratitude to you. May God bless you all.
This is an occasion when our hearts are filled with conflicting emotions: we are, indeed, proud to have achieved our independence, and proud that our efforts should have contributed to this happy event. But do not mistake our pride for arrogance. It is tempered by feelings of sincere gratitude to all who have shared in the task of developing Nigeria politically, socially and economically. We are grateful to the British officers whom we have known, first as masters, and then as leaders, and finally as partners, but always as friends. And there have been countless missionaries who have laboured unceasingly in the cause of education and to whom we owe many of our medical services. We are grateful also to those who have brought modern methods of banking and of commerce, and new industries. I wish to pay tribute to all of these people and to declare our everlasting admiration of their devotion to duty.
And, finally, I must express our gratitude to Her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra of Kent for personally bringing to us these symbols of our freedom, and especially for delivering the gracious message from Her Majesty The Queen. And so, with the words ‘God Save Our Queen’, I open a new chapter in the history of Nigeria, and of the Commonwealth, and indeed of the world.”

Let us remember the dreams our forefathers had.

Let us remember strength in diversity.

Let us remember for every bad egg in every tribe, there are thousands of good one.




Allah, Yahweh, Olodumare, Amadihora bless Nigeria

OP, this is senseless





Honesty.

And so it starts....

where do these folks come from

Who does that??

The foundation on her face could hold the building that collapsed in Lagos today

Dayumm

DokitaDave:
I think I understand the perspective you are coming from but I am afraid you're are so wrong. I am not a fan of feminism and I will never be (because I believe its fundamental principles and probable aims are flawed), however, I think the reason you think this way is due to the way some professions have been gender-tainted. I have seen MANY female students who perform excellently well and much better than their male counterparts in STEM courses.

Beauty and brains don't mix? Lol... That's another unfounded claim.

In the same vein, I have also seen quite a lot of females fail in stem....


Please don't change my words, I said rarely....




The whole bbn saga and other public display of stupidity by our celebrities is enough proof

itsmeurLady:
Mr u are highly wrong as well as the poster. Beauty and Brains rarely mix Wat type of females hav you been meeting U shld meet i and my friends to change ur perspective.... just for the record, females might be learning this as side jobs, I tot that was wat entrepreneurship is all about. At least is better than sitting at home waiting for a job/ doing nothing. So y frustrate the effort of these young ones I am a tailor, buh I'm not stopping der, I intend to have my clothing factory here in nigeria soon, and dis for the record is a side job for me. With the way Nigeria is going, u can hardly rely on a single stream of income. Secondly, I am also working towards being a clinical biochemist cs I love being in the laboratory analysing samples. Wld also want to own a lab... Did I forget to add that I'm beautiful too... I sed all of this so that Some Guys here wld stop looking down on ladies. For the fact U've been/seen the wrong ones doesn't In any way mean that there are no focused/purpose driven ones out der. Inspire People with your Words and Not bring them Down!!!

Well you're confident, I give you that..


On the others......

That last line
