PROUDIGBO:
You Ijaws are quite funny and so obvious in your expansionist bid! As you tell it, you own all the coast from Akwa-Ibom to Ondo!

What's at play here is the result of the collusion you went into with your Fulani masters to try and deny Igbos access to the sea! You engaged in a lot of scheming and subterfuge to steal Igbo properties and land from the late 60s to early 70s, and you were emboldened to do what you did because your Fulani masters had your back!

Pre the uncivil war, i doubt the Opobo, Bonny and Okrika identified solely as Ijaw or Igbo. I feel they were more of city states in their own right (kinda like Monaco or The Vatican)...independent of both the Igbo and Ijaw, though having been influenced by both ethnicities! But with the coming of the uncivil war and the attempts to shrink Igbo territory as well as deny us a littoral status, you went for broke and charged full-steam ahead to 'Ijawnise' these city-states....especially Opobo, because you and your Nigerian masters looked at the map and saw Igboland had access to the sea via Opobo!

Captain8:
maybe...if it is so, then it because am speaking my dialect from far western delta or ondo.... but yet i still can understand 30% of ndoki words....

if an ndoki man speak, Igbo will not understand even 1%........if ndoki man speak Ijaw man will understand 50%.....

BiafraInc:
Once Biafra is restored, any Ijaw person found in Opobo and Ijaw will be evicted by force. Those two cities are purely Igbo cities and must be secured militarily.

Amaechi2023:
election starts with the primary stage. Can umahi even scale through the primaries? I don't think so to be honest.

neyoohhh:
It is, the religious ideology was the start of the issues. They reject western lifestyle's because of religion.


Saudi Arabia, the home base of Wahabism and the cradle of Islam is an ally of the US and it doesn't practice Democracy. The interest of the US in Afghanistan has absolutely nothing to do with religion or Western life styles but political interests of the US.


There are many countries that aren't practicing democracy and reject Western lifestyles, yet the US have no problems with them.

IDENNAA:
This is a blatant lie; no historian worth it's value will ever put Onicha ancestry to Bini. Why ? Because there is absolutely nothing that lends credence to that. Anybody who claims Onicha has Bini ancestry should bring the facts and prove it to us.

Yusman316:
Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia are more breeding grounds for terrorists than Afghanistan. So why hasn't the U.S attacked these countries? Or are there terrorists that are friendly to the U.S?

BKayy:
The most notable Jaja

BKayy:
There was nothing life chieftaincy there or any part of Igboland before 1846 with Oraifite getting their first warrant chief. So my dear, what defines people is their customs, tradition, culture and language which the kyrio and ashanti people that form the modern Ijaw doesn't share with any Igbo community.

OfoIgbo:
What does UBANI mean in Ijaw?

Also how do you explain the fact that the earliest books written about UBANI Bonny, clearly noted that the traditional rulers of Bonny were of Igbo ancestry?

DaOriginalCEO:
Now let us assume some group of guys were coming during this show of power all armed and chanting Allah.....una go see how the "gallant" officers will immediately pick race. Always gallant when they see unarmed citizens.

Coronabirus:
You people can't use ur brain to think but instead allow some bigots to reason for you. The way IPOB is forced to take arm and later termed terrorists is the same way world powers kept colonising, oppressing and enslaving Afghanistan. They call them terrorists because they refused to succumb to their lifestyle and modern crusade, Afghanistan people are the most oppressed people on earth. Osama and Taliban were the creation of US just like how Nigeria created Kanu, Igboho and Shekau. All Western Nations and US are plainly practicing a system of govt that was born out of Christianity and they clearly told Turkey in her effort to join EU despite being in the territory that EU is a Christian union as such I see no reason why West should prevent other Nations from having Islamic states or system of govt of their choice, why the imposition? US and her ally are more terrorists than any other group of people; who were crusaders, who fought WW1, who fought the 2nd WW, who lied to the world that there is Nuclear weapon in Iraq and murdered more than 1m civilians, who terrorised Vietnam, who killed civilians in Nagasaki and shirishoma? Please stop deceiving yourself with what others say, use your brain and ponder well about fact using ur conscience.
Nobody will choose to be slave. Go and read history!

Sunday2021:
then what are they doing in kano, Abuja,kaduna?

tutudesz:
You think UN can break Nigeria

Poiu11:
Tinubu is a northerner like him. Tinubu is not yoruba name. He just grewup in lagos to understand yoruba

AchalugoNwa:
Hahahahaha we shall see
keep living in your delusion
Apc was formed with the collation of cpc acn anpp and APGA faction of okorocha
Infact Okorocha gave the name Apc and kept them alive throughout his tenure in South East
without him Apc might not get the required percentage in south east to win the presidency.

Yoruba at the other hand is highly and grossly overrated in Apc
since formation of Apc yoruba has never given Apc a bloc votes like SE/SS gives to PDP
even in 2015 change tsunami it was not a clean sweep.
come 2019 it was a close call between pdp and Apc and Tinubu has to rig heavily with thugs to retain his Lagos.
Same southwest a whole VP lost his poling unit yes let me refresh your memory on that, the osibanjo you're talking about lost his poling unit.
Pdp nearly took osun if not for the brazen rigging that happened.

so what's your point in Yorubas investing in Apc?
you guys keeps hyping this yoruba Apc blah blah blah
Infact the people that made Apc stronger is the north that always give Apc a clean sweep
that's how to know where a party stands.
as it stands Apc are not even sure of getting 50% votes in Yorubaland sef that's why they're still unsettled with the zoning issue because they knew that any wrong move, they're gone.

Let me tell you how northerners play politics
they don't do party stuff like you guys
as far as it's same North, same ideology and goal
trust me even Buhari will not back a southern candidate over a northerner.

the north is not done yet with power and they're monitoring the situation.
the only way the south can claim power is through unity and I don't see that happening because yorubas will try to be greedy even after producing president and vice president since democracy.
on the other hand
it's either South East president or the North continues because we'll help them achieve that since una wan play politics abi.

It's unfortunate you guys don't understand Nigeria politics and still view things from 2015 aspects.
things have changed

if Buhari can support Obaseki who is pdp just to spite Tinubu then you think he'll allow him close to power or any of his associates?
north no dey do party oo
better get that into your head


Btw I don't care if you're from Afghanistan
this is Nairaland and we know as e dey go

Amaechi2023:
the South East didn't really have a say in the APC but ruling them out completely would be the greatest undoing of the west.
That said. If the ticket is going to the west(tinubu) I guess then his biggest challenge would be picking a northern vice as Christian.( to be honest in today's Nigeria, no Christian Northerner can give you a strong say in the north politically)
Now this is where the east might have a say in the primaries. The likes of Rochas and uzor Kalu.
If this two can agree to work together (which is near impossible) then tinubu camp would be shaken.
Imagine a Rochas who at same time is also admired by northerners.
All he needs is a strong northern vice who'll call the shots..
Elrufai, zulum, fintiri, are strong northerners who are not tinubu loyalist.
Now when it comes to primaries no doubt Rochas would pull up the eastern votes and south south majority votes.
Tinubu would pull the west, north west also and have a say in the north east but Rochas for sure would definitely call the north central delegates..
Now it's evenly splited. As it looks tinubu has the upper hands due to his consistency and continuous permutation but ruling out the east is a no go area.
Buhari which we both know would only give tinubu his full support only if the likes AMAECHI and Rochas two of whom he also respects don't come for the ticket.

Monogamy:
Let SE demand the presidency from Pdp..

Which investment do SE have with Almajiri/Ewedu party

Ruggedniggaone:
The only apc candidate that has brighter chance of winning is osibanjo any other candidate is a waste of time. because I see pdp going for northerners and the only apc candidate that can drag north with pdp northern candidate in the presidential election is osinbanjo forget about tinubu because aboki know about his looting records so his candidacy is dead on arrival

Bluntguy:
It's the South East's turn.

LikeAking:
Its easier for religious men to raise funds. Religious men are very good when it comes to bring up religious people only. They are not too good when it come to other carers.

LikeAking:
Rip to the dead.

Nigerian parents must ensure puplic universities are functional and world class standard.

They cant be wasting their funds in the so called private uni.

We the blacks love short cut too much.


Parents spending too much on education is one of the hidden reason many Nigerian shave remained very poor for all these decades.

In the developed world only the very rich send their kids to private unis and co, but in Nigeria the very poor and average send their kids to private unis and co with their last card. Not cool.

The religious private unis too dey over do. These students will not be pastors when they grow up. Unis should be ran by real men with exp in life, not religious men.

Nigerian parents dont understand the true meaning of education.

ImmaculateSpenc:
I presume since you’re from Enugu, you should know more places, than the Getto of Enugu. It’s like one saying Sheta in Lagos is the face of Lagos.

Show us pictures of other places too.

FarahAideed:
Nothing is stopping Bokharam and Bandits from taking over Abuja except for the presence of Buhari there .. remove Buhari today and Boko Haram and bandit will enter Abuja within 3 weeks

mrsage:
The herdsmen, bandits plus boko haram in Nigeria do not have the manpower to take over the entire country.


Afghanistan is made up of 99.7% muslims.

In Nigeria Muslims make up about 50% of the population.

How can we end up in the same situation?

Osama bin laden, leader of the Taliban

RiceProducers:
Splitting Nigeria "peacefully".
You can see most IQs are low and idiots are free ranging because social media has democratized access to propagating hairbrained ideas.

The idea of peaceful splitting.. and that the splitted countries dwell in peace and happiness after can only arise in the minds of desperate, hateful and neurotic people.

If you start splitting now please resign yourself to mob sense, modern warlordism, ethnic cleansing, killings, slavery, rape and a thousand points of conflicts not only in Nigeria but the entire West Africa spreading southwards.

Actually I think it is time the FG starts monitoring social media and arresting people for all types of ideas that could break up the country.

It is getting too much that any social misfit can wake up and post incendiary stuff

AngelicBeing:
Hian, you have started again with your analysis, l am the new Ambassador of Nigeria representative in the Catalonia, I accept Biafra, Arewa, ijaw, oduduwa, ijaw, Itshekiri, urobho passport, visa and passport fee is 6000 Euros and you will get 50years multiple entry visa

onuman:
Wishful thinking - all. Were you born after military rule in Nigeria?

Gordieshegz:
You may not be completely right about this if you consider these questions.
Did the whole of Nigeria share the ideologies of military regimes? Did Nigeria break up when that happened?

Terrorism is way deeper than that, and remember that every tool of government is presently in the hands of the Northern people who share terrorists' orientations.
It may be very unlikely but not impossible.

SARSCoV2:
You are far from the truth.

The North share same interest irrespective of religious beliefs.

Ahmed and Paul in the North are one. They will always put their interest first. It's not like the South were you have this division.
