However in this country, it seems only one ethnic group is constantly whinning that everybody hate them.

On different occasions they often accuse the following groups of hating them (some say out of envy)


1) The Yorubas (their number-1 object of hate)

2) Hausa-Fulani

3) Ijaws , Ikwerres and the Southern Minority tribes

4) Gen Gowon and the Middle Belt people.

5) Any Nigerian leader disscused on Nairaland e.g Awolowo, Gen Gowon, Gen Danjuma, Gen Murtalar Muhammad, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Isaac Adaka-Boro, Col Victor Banjo, Chief MKO Abiola.

6) Tinubu

7) Buhari



Note: Buhari and Tinubu are in different classes of their own because of the magnitude of hatred they exhibit toward these two Nigerian political leaders.

pazienza:
My brother. In nationalism, MAD( mutually assured destruction), is the best way to secure peace.
Nations only live in peace when everyone knows they are not immune to hate. When they know you are capable of inflicting them 10times more, the pain they intend or plan to inflict on you, they would all respect themselves and peace would reign.
Peace based on love don't exist on international arena. It's Usually MAD.
We should stop expecting love from any group, but instead ensure they all know we are capable of dishing them out whatever they are preparing for us.
It's the way to go.

I'm no longer a man of preacher of love

And how is that related to this post/thread sir?

What concern Tinubu or Buhari or IPOB in this matter?

eagleu:
Oga, why you dey talk like you no dey notice how often anyone disagreeing with Tinubu or Buhari is labelled IPOB?
Come on man, you want to be taken seriously?

Where did you get this your funny stuff from?

Even the North (Berger) to South (Bar Beach, Eleko Beach) lenght of Lagos State is not up to 50 Nautical miles.

The Lagoon in Lagos communicate with the Atlantic ocean through the Harbour (0.5-2Km distance) where Apapa wharf is built.

OFFICIAL336:
The lagoon was dredged 50 Nautical miles to the sea. Azumili opens directly to the sea

Most black people don't have a deep grasp of the concept of 'cause and effects' and they like to blame others for their problems, hence their capacities for problems solving skills are very limited.



It's very funny seeing Nigerians who cheat in all exams from primary schools to University levels, Nigerians who embezzle Student Union dues, Nigerian lecturers who demand to sleep with their students before passing them, Nigerian clergymen who fleece their gullible followers, Nigerian traders who smuggle fake and substandard goods into this country and Nigerians who give and demand bribes daily putting on cloaks of patriotism coming online to complain about how Nigeria is not working and calling their country a zoo.



There's nothing sacrosanct about the unity of Nigeria. If we can't live as one, why not separate?

However, those who have the political power to effect this separation aren't interested in any separation.

ProT:
All Nigerians are not part of the problem; don't allow ur elites to blackmail u into believing such.

Your elites make the laws (including the very bad laws); they control ur economy and finance; they control ur armed forces and law enforcement agencies; they control ur education, (miseducate you and send their wards overseas for proper education).
What have they done with such powers?
They have used it to rape and divide ordinary folks.

While they are united in raping the "have-nots," the have-nots are more allegiant to their tribes and creeds instead of their class.

As long as u keep this cesspool as one, ur elites would keep raping u, while u defend them depending on their tribe and creed.

Ur elites are the problem, the miseducated folks on the street (who abuse themselves while defending the elites) are just victims.

People from all parts of Nigeria wail about their conditions in different ways and for different solutions.


ALL Nigerians are parts of the problems of this country.

The most important thing is for one to make Nigeria work for himself/herself.

ProT:
Ya, online e-warriors (as you called them) would find it difficult to get what they deserve becos a lot of ordinary folks in Nigeria are not intelligent; a lot of folks don't even realise Nigeria is a backward cesspool that seems to serve only the interests of the political elites.

And then, there are some loud, petty-minded, incorrigible folks who don't care about the unworkability of their country; to these folks, the Igbos must be the worst hit, since they wail the loudest about this cesspool, hence, these petty-minded folks can't care less about their situation as long as the Igbos wail.

How does this relate to the misinformation you are trying to propagate that the Yorubas were tyrannical against the non-Yorubas in the Western Region.



Seeking autonomy is part of the longing for freedom inherent in all human societies.

Both the Yorubas and non-Yorubas in the Western Region understood this fact and worked to respect it by working for amicable separation according to the laws.




In the Eastern Region, the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers Movement (COR) were not so fortunate and tolerated .
They had to wait till 1967 when Gen Gowon created their own States for them.

We have so many things to learn from the quality leadership of the First Republic.



Military rule and the exportation of oil starting from 1967/68 mark the beginning of the decline in quality leadership.



[quote author= post=89770450]Eastern Economy

Trade in palm produce was a dominant feature in the economy of Eastern Nigeria. Though not indigenous to the region, the palm tree provided fronds for roofing of houses in the villages, palm wine for drinking and palm kernels as source of foreign exchange income. After World War II, prices sought for palm produce skyrocked and by 1954, Palm produce generated an income of 54 million pounds. However, the prices stabilized by the middle of the 1950s. Employment in farming and agriculture was a significant source of income for many residents engaged in yam farming and fishery. In the 1960s, the government promoted rubber, cocoa and palm grove schemes to increase the output of cash crops. The government also established farm settlements at Ohaji, Igbariam, Boki, Ulonna, Erei, Uzo-Uwani and Egbema to encourage agriculture.
Trading of goods was also a major part of the regional economy. In 1954, imports to the region was about 25 million pounds a year which were brought into the country by a few European firms but distributed by thousands of traders within the region. The trade in imported goods such as dried fish, motor parts, textiles goes on along with the trade in local foodstuff.
In industry, the coal mines of Enugu managed by the Nigerian Coal Corporation and Nigersteel's rolling mill which used steel scraps to produce mild steel bars were one of the few coal mines and steel plants in operation in West Africa in 1963. During the NCNC led government, a cement factory was established at Nkalagu, Nigerian Breweries chose a stout factory at Aba, a Tobacco and glass making plant was located at Port Harcourt. Presidential Hotel Port Harcourt and Enugu was built.

Statutory corporations
[b]The task of managing the trade and income earned in palm oil kernels was given to the Eastern Nigeria Marketing Board and the Eastern Nigeria Finance Corporation. The Eastern Nigeria Marketing Board came into effect in 1954 and was given the responsibility to manage the region's cash or export crops. [/b]The board assigned grade to palm produce according to free fatty acid content and then assigns producer prices to each grade. The board conducts the purchase of palm oil and kernels that are to be exported through the use of licensed buying agents and engages in the evacuation of the produce to the ports for export. Most of the profits from the sales of export produce is transferred to the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation. The development corporation was involved in producing quality palm oil kernels for the export markets through erection of pioneer oil mills and the development of other export crops such as cocoa, cashew nuts, rubber and coconut. Rice cultivation was also encouraged in Abakaliki and Ogoja

The use of 'State of origin' as a basis for gaining appointments or admission started during the Military era.

Religious dichotomy in our National polity became prominent (which has more or less now become a National tradition) started around 1986.

During the 1979 Presidential election,

UPN candidates (Awolowo/Umuadi) and NPN candidates (Azikiwe/Audu) were Christian-Christians.

pazienza:
More.

Out of the 10 Eastern region provincial commissioners.

Eastern minorities had 5, while Igbos had 5. If you count Ogba people in Rivers who are currently claiming non Igbos as minorities, then minorities would have 6 commissioners, while Ndiigbo had just 4.

Notice that the commissioner for Onitsha province was an Ogba man by name Masi.

And that the one for PH was not an Igbo, Ikwerre or Okirika man.

NCNC picked then according to where they had resided and contributed to the society.
Masi might be an Ogba man, but he was an Onitsha province boy as he lived and grew there, hence why he was made the province commissioner, same with Etta Ogon who was the commissioner for PH province despite being from Ikom. He was a Ph boy.

That's how NCNC ran the East.

So any random person that opens a thread on a faceless forum writing anything that is embarrassing about Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe must be my (Yoruba) brother and that my brother is exactly the same thing as the Yoruba ethnic group?

If you have an axe to grind with anybody ,be it Yoruba, Fulani, Efik or a Jew, take it up with that person and stop this childish ethnic profiling.


Everyday, more serious and intelligent Igbo and Yoruba people are making business deals, professional collaborations and romantic affairs while you and other e-warriors seat here all day, promoting tribal bigotry that is likely to robb you of necessary links and opportunities you need to go far in life.

The Constitional requirements for the referendum;


1) Two third majority votes the Western Regional House of Assembly, Ibadan.

2) Two third majority votes in the National Assembly.




The minority tribes in the Benin and Delta provinces on their own couldn't have succeeded without the support of the Western Regional Assembly.




[quote author= post=89769508]Delta and Benin experienced highest marginalization from Yorubas, in Western Region where the non-Yoruba speaking Delta and Benin provinces pressed for a separate region. A referendum was conducted, which proved positive for their request.[/quote]

Bros, check it sir.


You are gradually going overboard by this your unwanted display of victims mentality and delusion of persecution of the Igbos by the Yorubas.



Yorubas were never part of the Eastern Region and nothing concern them with Eastern Regional Cabinet.


[quote author= post=89769149]Era of Lagos/Ibadan propaganda is over we are in digital era[/quote]

I am correcting the wrong information which the analogy of ships passing through Benin Republic to Lagos tried to portray.

I am not against the Southeast using any water bodies they like and indeed nobody will stop them, they will just have to to pay littoral Countries that have direct coastal lines.




However, in my personal view, Nigeria is not going to disintegrate because the political leaders that can make it disintegrate are not interested in disintegration.

Online e-warrior have no say in such political decisions.

ProT:
Ya, you can erect a wall across the River Niger; the SE must not be allowed access to the Atlantic, lest I forget, u also own the Atlantic, afterall, it would be ur own territory of the Atlantic the SE would be entering.
Are u satisfied now?

It still would not deter the SE from demanding for freedom, it is a noble thing to do.

Actually the late President Yar'Adua signed

the contract for dredging of River Niger from Warri, Delta State to Baro,Niger State in 2008 at a cost of N34 Billions and the project was completed in 2011.

Few vessels used the dredged Niger channel before floodings silts to accumulate in the channels.

nsiba:

International waterway!
International maritime law!
Danube this Danube that!
Shey international law will come and dredge without me agreeing abi?
Let him keep shouting upandan here he very well knows if doesn't pay good money to us, landlocked and Airlocked they will see in full effect

You are the ones that can rightly be described by your last sentence.

superlightning:
We abuse but you angels speak kindly right? Delusion at it's best!

Again you just confirmed it.




Most of the over zealous Biafran agitators can't debate matters intelligently.

They are only online to insult ,abuse and curse anyone who hold contrary views.

superlightning:
you are the one asserting your own misery. too bad.

The Ports in Rivers State are functioning till tomorrow.

Amarabae:
Oriaku Amarachi speaks;
All these "South east is not landlocked" threads being created by some Igbo's here especially IPOBs are not necessary,
what exactly do you want to prove, who do you want to convince?
why dragging an issue over and over again year to year especially on a platform like Nairaland.
let's get emotionally matured please,
the term Landlocked refers to an area that does not have a "DIRECT" access to the ocean via a sea,
and as long as I am concerned, South East Nigeria do not have direct access to the ocean but they do have some Rivers that flows into the Atlantic ocean but those rivers do not flow in directly because they pass through the territory of a south southern state,
Some have suggested dredging and expanding the river to the ocean, yes it is possible besides I have watched a documentary about an artificial sea created to support a seaport in an Asian country but who is going to do the dredging and expansion?
such a capital project requires the full approval and support of the Federal Government , and it is glaring that the possibility of that happening is very minimal.
River port and Dry port are two things that we should be talking about instead of all these unnecessary noise about seaport,
its unfortunate that we found ourselves in a hate filled country, had it been that it is a country where Love and peace reign, all the seaports in South South geopolitical zone ought to be functioning fully, but we know why it is not so, so that a particular geo political zone close to south south will not benefit from it, so that they will continue to cluster in Lagos to import thereby swelling up their Internal Generative Revenue,
we know this game,
Dry ports in a developing country are used to connect landlocked states to the sea port via a rail network, it is this technology that can be used to connect the whole northern states that are far from the ocean to the seaport.
the same dry port in Aba and Onitsha will play a crucial role in the economic activities of these two cities.
Dear Ndigboo ,stop all these creation of "South east is not landlocked" threads,
A wise person does not waste his time trying to impress or correct his sworn enemy.
we are alone in this country,that is why I always insist on IPOB limiting their agitation to Igbo areas,
The Jews faced similar hate all over Europe back in those days just for the crime of being Jews,
same scenerio is playing out,
Being Igbo is not a crime,
we are not interested in their love,
Always use your head and not your heart on dealing with "ndi tribe uchu ndia gbara Igbo gburugburu nke kasi nke ndi ofemmanuu"
ndewo nu
Oriaku loves you all

Haven't you seen many Yoruba people calling Tinubu derogatory names?

Does political differences erode historical and ethnic heritage of a politician?

SciLab:
Their was no dirty name yorubas didn't call Oritsejafor just because he is a minority from the Niger delta, a pastor and close to GEJ.

Bling bling pastor, Theiving pastor, arms smuggling pastor, pdp pastor, TANdroid pastor, corrupt pastor are a few that I recall.

If he were a pure yoruba like osinbajo, he wouldn't have suffered the same fate. But he was a bloody minority from the SS so he was fair game for yoruba army of online BMC dogs.

Mistakes can happen , even in sexual intercourse. Nobody is above mistakes.





You can have sex with someone you shouldn't sleep with by mistakes due to loneliness, drunkenness, hardship, pychological/emotional exploitation and some bad temptations or seduction.

If it happens once, it can be a mistake

If it happens twice, it is a pattern

If it happens more than twice, it has become a habit.

Ishilove:
How do you 'mistakenly' have sex with someone? Like do you trip and fall into their vagina, and then when you try to get up, you slip and fall in again?

You are very correct sir.




You can even navigate from the Atlantic Ocean to Niger Republic and Mali by passing through the River Niger.







[quote author= post=89756758]You can navigate from Atlantic Ocean via River Niger channel to east, north and others[/quote]

You are comparing oranges with Banana.


A ship sailing to Lagos doesn't pass through territories of Republic of Benin.

ProT:
U seem not to get it.
Let me use pidgin:
Nobody get River Niger, no be any country own.
Just as Benin Republic cannot stop ship traversing the Atlantic Ocean to Lagos; or Nigeria stopping ships going to Cameroon.

River Niger is an INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY!

Bros, calm down.




Don't take all these Biafra stuff very serious.

No tribe/Region is truly planning to seceed. There's no elements of seriousness in it.


All these present agitations look more like a propaganda to blackmail the rest of Nigeria into giving the agitatators and their tribe some political concessions .

ahaz:
you and the 16 idiots that clicked likes to this your garbage are all frustrated ..na frustration go kill of una..I promise you that you will unconsciously committee sycide the day Biafra will be restored.

Even Ghosts can be killed the second time.


If you watched Fadayi Oloro's Yoruba movies in the 1980s you will see where he shot one stubborn ghost that was disturbing him.

tempest01:
Lol...oya track OP go deal with am.

You don't even know what you are saying.

There's no River Niger Ilorin!

ahaz:
ooh so you want to claim illorin as Yoruba,you want to grab nupe too...hahahah my God you people are pathetic rogues.

Now, compare Nigerians (which you assume were all Yorubas) who were against Biafrans during MASSOB's era to the numbers of Nigerians who are against Biafra now courtesy of Kanu/IPOB.



The so-called strategy you are saying may only work if Kanu is a Tribal war Lord, leading a guerilla war against Nigeria to allow seccession of Buafra.


For peaceful secession of Biafrans by the conduct of Referendum, you will need the support and cooperation of non- Igbo Nigerians.
You don't deliberately antagonize people that you need their support/cooperation.


Apart from the restoration of Biafra, Kanu/IPOB are making it difficult for Igbos to have allies/sympathizers in the Nigerian project.

Igboid:
I have been on this forum since 2007. This particular moniker is just one of my many monikers here.

I am an old timer on this.
MASSOB and Billie who never uttered any words towards Yorubas, received relentless mocking and bashing on this forum.
Yorubas campaigned for their arrests by Nigeria security agencies and rejoiced heartily whenever new of MASSOB members brutalisation at the hands of Nigerian police or Miltary came up here.

So you can spare me the talks of Nnamdi Kanu.

Nnamdi Kanu noticed that many Igbos are attached to Nigeria because of their associations with Yorubas and other Nigerians.
NK wanted to break those ties, so he hit up the polity to intensify Yoruba Igbophobic nature and expose and docile Igbos to them, in hope to make them to detach themselves from Nigeria and Yorubas and lean more towards Igbo nationalism.
And it's working.

It's a dirty method, but it's yielding results and have its place in the struggle.

The Azumini Blue River is a beautiful sight to behold, especially with the lush green vegetation surrounding it in ways that paint a majestic gift of nature to this country.


The State Government supposed to go into partnership with the private sector to build and maintain a Zoo and chalets around it as a Tourist destination.

Igboid:
Afonja, I mean the below.

You see how beautiful it is, right?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.myguidenigeria.com/things-to-do/azumini-blue-river/amp/
Pure tourist heaven.
Cry for me Afonja, cry

This is a great example of Fallacy of hasty generalization.

1) Yorubas and Igbos are not the only people on Nairaland. There are Nupes, Igala,Tivs, Efik, Urhobos on Nairaland too.

2) It's wrong to assume that anyone/everyone that say or open a thread against Biafra must a Yoruba.

3) Debates about the S/East being landlocked or not doesn't mean hatred for Biafra

Igboid:
You must be funny.

Yorubas have been opening numerous threads claiming Igboland is landlocked.
This thread is only a counter thread.

We can do River course diversion if need be to swell up volume of Imo River.
We simply divert and rechannel all Rivers and streams opening into River Niger from Igboland to IMO river.
Chinese are already adept at this technology.

We have so many options in Igboland. Biafra will be a great nation.

On a more serious note, have you had sexual intercourse with the woman before, even if it's by mistake?

Cloud699999:
My brother fear of the unknown they really scare man. There were sound from her room, things hitting the War. And her apartment is locked.

It's in our imaginations.

Corpses are helpless and they can't fight or harm the living except through the spread of highly contagious diseases.

ifysimple:
Don’t be scared if you or your gf knows nothing about her death , she died b4 her time and her spirit still in the vicinity just summon courage and when she bangs tell her to go away and let u be in peace . U won’t see her again that’s it .


I think this should solve the problem.

I once worked in an event mgt center. They handle weddings, burials etc. They have pall bearers and mortuaries too.

The mortician sometimes tells us wierd stories about corpses.
He once told us about one young married lady s corpse that was brought in. From the night she was brought in , the mortuary started experiencing trouble. The mortician sleeps in the same mortuary compound in a general hospital.
He said every night he will be hearing serious bang on the mortuary door. He thought he was the only one hearing the noise and has happened for like 3 days.
Then he went to buy something in a shop around the place and they were asking him what was happening in his office. lol

He said that night before he slept he brought out that particular corpse and told her that the person that killed her is not here and begged her to go after those that killed her and that she should stop disturbing others.
From that day no noise again till she was removed.

He said he later found out that the girl was having problems with the husband s people and died in the process

Pack out for a mere Ghost?

Will the Ghost give him money to pay for new accommodation?

Allaboutkatiee:
Wow
Just like Hollywood movies
The only thing you can do is either bringing in a very strong pastor or you pack out of the house to avoid stories that touch.

Alternatively she can be dealt with.

tempest01:
OP i think two people have given good suggestions.

First, wait for her to be buried, maybe she'll wander towards the village and finally rest.

If it continues after the burial, when next you feel her presence. Talk out. Call her name and say the dead have nothing to do with the living. That she should go and rest in peace in the land of the dead and leave the living be.

Any video record of this 'Prayers from the ghost'?

Gee64:
My own story:
When my father died, his voice was still heard in the room singing hymns to God for 7 days like he did when he was alive. He was even heard praying for his children. Everyone in the house always sat still between 1am and 2am listening until it finally stopped after 7 days!
