Sir, what is the meaning of ASAGBA in Igbo language.

Igboid:
[b] The chairman of the lecture, Obi Edozien (The Asagba of Asaba), re-emphasised this point: “we Igbo people are one. We must stop fighting over irrelevancies and emphasise the essential.”
This point arose out of the tendency among Igbo people to regard some groups as not “real” Igbos on basis of dialectal differences.


.

It also exists in the form of clearly Igbo- speaking people with Igbo names and cultural patterns declaring themselves as “not Igbo” but ethnic minorities. This is very rampant among Igbo groups in the South-South zone who believe that by so self- declaring publicly, they would be more acceptable among the real minorities and allowed to take their places as ethnic minorities. Experience has, however, shown that this self-delusion hardly ever produces their desired results. Whenever the push comes to the shove, the real minorities remind them that they are Igbo people who are out to take what belongs to the minorities through the back door.

This phenomenon was evident in 2006 when former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State (who loved to call himself a “Rivers man,” as if Rivers State is a tribe) was running for president.

Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark openly declared Odili an Igbo man, arguing that the South-South president that the minorities have been agitating for was not meant to go to “an Igbo man.” Given this situation, there has been an increasing shift of paradigm.

Many Igbo groups, especially in Delta State, have decided no longer to play the masquerade.


The Obi of Asaba, Professor Edozien, actually laid out conditions he believes will cement Igbo unity permanently. Obi Edozien then called on the people of the South-East zone to support the creation of Anioma State and another for Igbo-speaking people of Rivers State to make for seven states, all of which will be lumped together in one zone or region.

Who are the people doing the 'consideration'?

Ikechukwu48:
Right. Likewise Anioma in Anambra like Onitsha is consider Igbo but an Anioma in Delta state is considered non igbo. It's extremely pathetic. Till date, I'm just grateful my parents enlisted the Igbo pride in me and noone, not even a SEer, can take it away.

You are not a true Igbo.
Efulefule or what do they call you?

Okoroawusa:
have u finished?
pls dnt insult our intelligence n sensibility by comparing dat fraudster wit big men of history who were poor,sacrificial n were at d fore-front of every protest against racial n colonial discrimination.
sit-@home is not civil disobedience.it didn't cost the govt anything.u just deprieved urself of a day's income.In the case of these men of history there is wide knowledge of the enemy.who is d enemy in the case of uwazurike n nnamdi kanu?
the niger deltans can hold d federal govt to ransome but the south east has no such edge.Thank u.

They will soon label this OP an Afonja

Product of a quota system. I believe you are from yobe state.

This is goodness. At least about 80% of these billions will rejuvenate the economy of igboland

Nigerians (like other illegal immigrants from 3rd world countries) may start with menial jobs for the first 1-5 years but they don't stay in that economic stratum for 20 years, they somehow learn to improve their conditions and climb the socioeconomic ladder.

timesup234:
sorry dude. It will take a Nigerian doing menial job in the US. twenty years to be able to complete a duplex. Unless they are involved in shady deals it is impossible. Even middle class Americans who make $57,000 annually cant save a thousand dollars monthly. When you get to America the hidden truth will ne revealed to you

Can you mobilize peoples and vote out Buhari in 2019?

dannytoe:
You cant restructure when bahuri is still hollding on to 95% Vs 5% myopic and hypocritic ideaology.

You are a badman.

DonVikings:
Kikikiki.

Ffk my man.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to truly understand what IPOB is; Is it a pressure group for the creation of Biafra, an opposition political group, an anti-Buhari pressure group , arch Hausa-Fulani enemies or just a pro-Igbo tribal group or every thing rolled into one?

Okay, but indigenes of Anambra and not aliens (as you are trying to portray it) have been governing Anambra State since 1999

ceaz4r:
I am not burning my house/home, I am only saying to the current mangers of my home to stop Mismanaging my home and allow me manage my home myself. I am only saying to those who are making policies that affect my home badly to stop, and let me make the policies that affect my home the way I deem fit. Like you rightly said, the way I make my bed, so will I lay on it. I will feel more comfortable managing my affairs than some aliens doing it for me!!

PDP ought to compensate the southeast by zoning its presidential slot in 2019 to the zone.

limeta:
but I think the most ideal opposition candidate that will give APC a fatal defeat punch will be a Northerner who is a liberal Muslim, very educated, intelligent and articulate.




There must be other ways
North must not be chairman

You sound more like a Statistician than a politician.
1)Please try to know the meaning of swing States in very competitive electoral contest.

2) Check the voters registration and collected PVCs across all the geopolitical zones.

Kennydoc:
Please take note of these facts:

Buhari won the last election with only 2.7 million votes.

Jonathan lost a lot of votes from the SE (in 2015 relative to 2011) because of low voters' registration, and poor voters' turn out on election day. I'm not saying he would have won if the turn out in the SE was maximal.
Also, hope you remember that it took Ọhaneze a lot of time to adopt Jonathan. They agreed he failed Igbos, but only adopted him finally because Buhari was a worse option for Igbos.

Four of the North Central states voted for Buhari in 2015, compared to 2011 when they all voted for Jonathan. Buhari won with a greater margin in the NC than in the SW because his margin of win in the SW which was approximately 612k is less than the 678k with which he won in only Niger and Kwara combined.

Finally, South west only gave Buhari about 57% of their votes (2.4 million votes) while Jonathan had 43% (1.8 million). The total SW votes for Buhari is just a little more than the votes Kano alone gave him.
I pointed this out for you and others to stop bragging how SW will always determine the swing of election results. Even if you guys had given Jonathan an additional 1 million vote, altogether making it 2.8 million votes (ie 67% of your total votes), Buhari would have still won. It's to let you know how not-too-significant the SW contribution to Buhari's victory was.

Here comes, the Biafran!

Duru1:
Per the bolded, I guess a reasonable fellow does not reach out to turncoats. Any Nigerian who is a true neighbor of Ndiigbo and treasures self-determination and self control of destiny should willingly join the quest with IPOB.

What are we suppose to do with this post now?

Its because most of the Lab managers are men and by nature, men love women.

Parasitic:
I notice most laboratory managers discriminate against men while they favour women in terms of employment. Most of female colleagues easily get placements to lab for hands on technical experience but men are usually not favoured.

All Nigerians regardless of tribes/religions are suffering, stop making it look like its only Igbos that are suffering.

EmoBoy:
1. You Nigerians complain and agree that the country is not united but are opposed to people who are agitating to form a country free from these problems
2. Like Sweetguy25 said in his thread, Yoruba and hausa are the only two tribes enjoying this scam called Nigeria. Igbos and their sisters in the Nigerian Delta don't gain anything by being Nigerians. The only reason Yoruba are happy being Nigerians is because the development of Nigeria is taking place in their region.
3. Nigeria does Not love the Igbos and Niger Deltans. Please remove that statement from. The Riverine environment of the Niger Delta has been destroyed from oil activities that bankrolls the country. Yoruba and Hausa don't care.

What the Op posted is a gross misrepresentation of facts to evoked feelings of hatred for the incumbent Buhari administration.

1) There is no tribe called Hausa-Fulani



2) You can NOT know a man's tribe solely on the basis of his Name



3) The North is a very huge landmass with plethora of tribes, lumping all of them into the nebulous term of 'Hausa-Fulani' to create an impression that Nigeria is made up of ONLY Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo is disingenuous and outrightly mischievous

So polygamy is only known and practiced in Igbo land?

MrSly:
They spoke of Igboland where polygamy is practised. Igbo's do not use land mass to measure population like they do in the north. Igbo has population. So you might be the liar after all.

Please stop posting this king of heads, it scare some babies.

Wrong sir, there is nothing like ancient Turkey.
Turkey is a modern State, created as a successor state to the Ottoman empire in 1922.

The present Turks migrated from central Asia to the country now known as Turkey around 1000AD.

Ancient Turkey. No wonder Erdogan,he is a true son of the soil.

You must be a Pathologist or an anatomist.

johnjames2009:
once you are not a doctor, your thought become less pleomorphic and more pathologic whenever they are palpated. there is nothing bizarre about the purported ban. There are papillae of hospital components that need to be banned also to restore sanity. Making it monodermal is carcinomatous degeneration whose etiology may well be drawn from plexuses of hospital staff whose innervation is ophthalmologically drawn from protean pattern and abnormal anastomosis. or it may well be diversionary from FG point. to create phobia.

but the cortical matter they are stimulating will see it to the end. everyone has right to his own opinion. welcome development though. The heart will do its part, the vessels will do their bit.

This Buhari administration appear to be fixated on anything anachronistic.
Government should not be seen as competing with its citizens.
Private sector participation in the economy (including the health sector) is urgently needed in Nigeria

Its NEITHER illegal or unethical sir.

In many instances, they are certain procedures which doctors in public hospitals can do but there aren't facilities to do so in public hospitals.
These doctors have gone to borrow loans to set up private hospitals equipped with the necessary equipments to perform these procedures and these are the ONLY ones available in some cities.

In Osun States, ONLY two hospitals have assisted reproductive technology like IVF and the these are owned by Consultants Obstetricians working with LAUTECH teaching hospital, Oshogbo and Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesha (a component of the OAU teaching hospitals complex, Ile-Ife)
