Suspect33:
I see some Nairalanders showing support for this man so as to spite the easterners, it's the same mistake they made in 2015, supporting Buhari bcus he had a Yoruba vice and bcus they thought he'd deal with the easterners, seven years down the line and everyone is suffering for it..

They're about to make the same mistake thinking they are in some competition with people who don't care about them

Is your hatred/envy or even Insecurity towards the people of the east worth another 8 years of poverty and regression?

Please park well sir.



This is about presidential election and people must contest.
If you are however interpreting the legitimate rights of prospective voters to support whoever they like as 'hatred for your tribe' that is your own cup of tea.





By the way, how do you feel if other Nigerians interpret your support for Atiku-Obi as 'hatred for their tribes'?

Suspect33:
it's for pple like you that I believe there are still south westerners not bereft of common sense, great point

I guess you are new here.


The guy you are quoting is one of the children of hatred and one of the greatest haters of the S/West on this forum.

PrinceOfLagos:
It is only Insane south westerners that will support Tinubu

Even Buhari has turned his back on Tinubu a long time ago

This is part of the beauty of Democracy... participation.



It shows that even insane people are allowed to support whoever they so desire, irrespective of what the president want.



Democracy can't be limited to who the president wants.

Pio44:
Some mumu will still go and vote for him, for 2k

If all the people that vote during the BBN reality show are supporting a young candidate, the candidate is unbeatable.

You can start mobilizing for Omoyele Sowore , Kingsley Moghalu or Yahayah Bello.

FarahAideed:
The SW have credible people they can put forward that we will all support but never this Tinubu

Is the S/West a political party that can put forward any candidate.


Our democracy will be better if any candidate is free to run for office.

Let Atiku, Moghalu, Tinubu, Kwankwanso, Anyim, Sowore and even YOU join the race and allow the people to pick one.

Taunting a particular candidate that he will be defeated is childish. Any candidate that is afraid of being defeated has no business in any contest.

Sabadon:
Nigeria is a secular state practicing democracy, quite understood(anyone can contest) but it baffles me with the statistics of young, vibrant, educated and even non educated individuals still supporting these old recycled politicians for paltry sums or "bread on the go", like suffer no dey tire una? After buhari you still have the guts to call " Tinubu", ahhh ahhhh make una fear God na

It's better that you start supporting the young candidates that can solve the problems. Complaining that other eligible voters are rooting for a particular candidate will not help your wishes and aspirations.

Idiko1:
In 1985, Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru, then military governor of Lagos State evicted Emeka Ojukwu form Villaska Lodge which the governor claimed was an abandoned property. Yoruba, Ijaw and Ogoni peeps stole Igbo properties on the pretense of abandoned property in Lagos State and Rivers State.

The is a blatant lie.

The properties were aquired by the Federal Government during the civil war and NOT in 1985.

Idiko1:
The bolded is very wrong therefore the subsequent junks are wrong too.

Actually,a minor error was made in the date.

For clarification, Awolowo was first the Leader of Government Business in Western Region ,a position which was transformed into Premier of Western Region in 1954

All other discussions were facts that could be verified.

prodigy24:
It shall never be well with Nigeria and all their supports against the people of Biafra. My parents, their relatives nuclear and extended, gathered all their money and gave one man, who owns a bank account came back with only 20 pounds. And you're here saying rubbish.
Fg did not give everyone money. They gathered money and put them into an account, and 20 pounds would be given to the account owner.
All these people do everyday is twist history to paint a favourable picture.
Amadioha ga egbu unu ncha!

People were affected In different layers.
The case you were referring to was a case of the Biafran family bringing in 'Biafran pounds' to get Nigerian pounds.


Now, the problem was that by 1970, Biafran pound was NOT a legal tender anywhere in the world and no country was prepared to accept it. Technically speaking that Biafran currency was actually a worthless piles of papers.


The Nigerian Government was just being magnanimous by collecting the Biafran papers, burned it and gave the holder 20 pounds.



The Gowon Regime could have just played along ,pretended to be unaware of the existence of Biafran currency and allow the Biafrans to discover on their own that they had worthless pieces of paper which they couldn't spend outside Igboland by 1970.
Few months later, Igbos themselves would start rejecting the currency because they wouldn't be able to use it to buy anything from other Nigerians.
By 15-20months later, the currency will fizzle out as Personal collections reminiscent of the civil war.

IGBOSON1:
Besides the issue Ikemba has with the federal government over his Dads property, i can’t say i heard of any abandoned property issue in the Western Region! But looking at the whole picture, one could equally argue Awo and other leaders in the west wanted to give the impression of being ‘fair and just’ to Igbos....which all rings hollow when you consider Awo had just been responsible for the starvation of thousands....if not millions of Igbo, and had joined the Fulani hegemony to wage war on a people fighting against ethnic-cleansing and islamofascism! This was the same Awo that had earlier declared Nigeria ‘a mere geographical expression’ and equally declared that ‘if by omission or commission the East were ALLOWED to secede, that the Western Region would japa as well (and i’m paraphrasing here)’!

The Ijaw and others who rushed to appropriate Igbo properties were blind in their greed, and weren’t on to the divide-and-rulen tactics the hegemony and their southern ally (who decades later can now claim they didn’t seize Igbo properties in their region) were using to set brother against brother in the east!

Get your facts right;


Awolowo was only premier of Western Region between 1952-1959. During the civil war, Military Governors were the people in-charge of the S/West and not Awolowo.


Awolowo, was not in-charge of feeding Biafrans, so the often repeated allegation that he starved Biafrans is a bold lie.


What really happened was that the Federal Military Government effected a land, sea and air blockade of Biafra to prevent smuggling of weapons into the secessionist enclave.

It must be noted that by this time, the Ijaw, Ogoni, Oron ,Efik and most of the coastal peoples cooperated with the military Government to make sure that this policy worked.

The Gowon Regime provided a safe land corridors for food and other relief materials to reach Biafra with the condition of 100% inspection by Federal Authority, a great humanitarian gesture which the Biafran Authority rejected. Ojukwu, instead preferred air-lifting of food (+ weapons) from Sao Tome & Principle to land at a clandestine 'Airport' called the Uli Airstrip which operated between 12 midnight -3am.

When the 3rd Marine Commando under Obasanjo captured the Uli Airstrip in 1969, it signalled the beginning of the end of Biafra.

IGBOSON1:
You’d do well to zip your hateful mouth so you don’t keep exposing your crass idiocy!

Pray tell, what ‘suffer’ did ‘other tribes’ suffer in the Eastern Region under Igbos!? I guess you, more than 60 years later, have more facts and information than the Willinks investigative commission that looked into said allegations. Copies of the commissions findings have previously been posted on this forum!

Nobody is saying things were perfect back then, but to come on here and suggest Igbos were oppressing, dehumanising, cheating and murdering other ethnicities in the region....such a suggestion is not only mischievous but outrightly wicked and disingenuous! What the Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni, Ikwerre, etc, had in the then Eastern Region is El-Dorado compared to what we all are going through in the ‘liberated’ East that the Fulani, Yoruba and some daft, insecure ethnicities in the the Eastern Region bequeathed Nigeria! Shebi we’re now all living and ‘enjoying’ the alternative to Igbo ‘domination’....the ‘utopia and uhuru’ these anti-Igbos fought for! Hope you’re enjoying it!?

In the early 60s....right up to the ill-advised coup and subsequent uncivil war, regions in Nigeria were developing rapidly....at their own pace, while using their own resources! The Eastern Region under Dr M I Okpara was then adjudged to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world! Even with the benefit of hindsight, you still persist in arguing the Igbo and political-economy of the then Eastern Region was ‘oppressive, detrimental and wicked’ to the other ethnicities in the region!?

Ever ethnic group strive to promote it's interest.

The Ijaws, Efiks,Oron, Ogoni, Ekpeye and Ikwerre agitating for their own Region (COR) which led to the creation of Rivers and Cross River States in 1967 (which forced Ojukwu to hurriedly declare Biafra 5 days later) were acts of self determination and not necessarily anti-Igbo stands.


There wouldn't have been civil war, ifGowon had created the 12 States in Jan,1967.

DOTian:
That's what happens when there's no central leadership. Most of you don't know that Gowon went out of the way to destroy any semblance of collective leadership amongst the igbos. So much so that his government banned the igbo State Union, which was the umbrella body that chatted a purposeful political and cultural future for the igbos. Igbos with strong Igbo nationalist views were summarily dealt with and allienated from governance.

Ultimately, imposters like Ukpabi Asika and crew took over and crafted a post civil war trend that prepared the igbos for greater presence outside igboland as the central government refused any serious investments in the East. Moving outside igboland became a survivalist alternative as a result. I guess it's time for such investments to be channelled back into the east. But the fact was that if the Igbo man refused to do so immediately after the war, his economic condition would have worsened..

Pls stop all these propaganda and the irritating victim mentality.



The Federal Military Government under Gen Ironsi banned ALL political, ethnic unions and promulgated the unitary decree shortly after the Jan-15 coup in an attempts to eradicated ethnic and regional loyalties and foster a sense of National unity.

Malawian:
One of your brothers up there said you Yoruba kept all our properties for us in South West and gave it back to us. Just to answer the obvious question, everyone is beating about the bush. Imagine other smaller ones we know nothing about.

Houses owned by individual Igbos were returned to them in the S/West.

The then Federal Military Government however deliberately confiscated Ojukwu's properties. Infact, Ojukwu would have faced firing Squad if he had returned under the military regime.

The then reigni Shagari civilian Government, out of political exigencies, saw the need the need to pardon Ojukwu.

IGBOSON1:
Ikembas' father owned WAEC house in Lagos! When the federal gov't refused to hand it back, Ikemba slept in his car outside the property until the federal gov't eventually caved in and handed it back! Now ownership has rightly been returned to the Ojukwu family.

It was the former JAMB office at Num-13,Ojora Close ,Ikoyi

Malawian:
WAEC house belonged to Ojukwu's father. It is public knowledge till date. You can Google it or ask your parents. I repeat, have you people returned that property to Ojukwu's family?

Actually, it was the former JAMB office in Ikoyi, however Babangida later on returned the Ojukwu's property and all other similarly aquired properties to their original owners before leaving power in 1993.

madmohamed:
beautiful I will like to visit this place

Don't ever try it unless you want Boko Haram or ISWAP to send you to Heaven.

Danjikanbauchi:
they contribute Aya, debinu, kilishi and sugarcane, those guys making mouth don't even have food of they do people won't have been eating grasses in Katsina. We have plenty rice here in Kaduna, yam very plenty in Niger state and kaduna too, not to talk of Benue. Don't mind them.

Since 1970, it is becoming crystal clear that we are actually inter-dependent and need each other, thus different parts of Nigeria appear to dominate different aspects of our national economy.


However, IPOB have a good point but wrong strategy.

IPOB ought to encourage their members to start large scale cattle ranch and start competing with the Miyetti Allah for supplies of beef in the S/East.

With time, the crude method of open graving will be shown to be uneconomical and Miyetti Allah will be forced to change (learning by induction) just like E-mail and social media ran most Post-offices out of business and force the surviving ones to modernize.

Jakumo:
Say no to ogogoro and Sapele wata. Worldwide alcohol has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths due to drunk drivers, drunken fights, liver damage, and numerous other diseases linked to excessive alcohol consumption. Drunks are very dangerous to themselves and to others.

Marijuana is not for everybody, but unlike alcohol, cannabis DOES have dozens of verified medical applications. Do some research when next you are sober to ascertain that these statements made by me here are factual.

You are answering questions that were never asked.

* My post is NOT about alcohol.

* My point is NOT whether there are medicinal uses of marijuana but on harmful effects of marijuana.




What is the capacity of the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria that we desperately need marijuana for a break through? Are there not several other suitable alternative chemicals that can serve as raw products to make these medicines?

In the attempts to solve one problem we should not be creating several other and more serious problems.

Wazobia2216:
That's it!

Let's see who go lose!

Wetin northerners dey buy sef

Spare parts for their cows

Northerners buy motor and motor cycle spare parts, clothes, electronics, tiles and Pharmaceuticals from Igbo traders in the North.

ThinkSmarter:
Marijuana should not be discriminated, it's a powerful plant that I will literally call the forbidden fruit.

It will make your brain to open up and you will become as wise as the gods.

It has a right to exist and be used like other plants like scent leaf, curry plants, ginger, garlic, onion, pepper etc.

Everything that the lord made is clean.
The THC and CBD compounds contained in marijuana are well recepted by our brains.

Most violent crimes like murder and armed robberies are committed after the criminal have taken marijuana.

Most likely, Cross River State

Jostoman:
I hope Lagosian would summon the courage to elect their own candidate not the one that would be impose on them by Lagos APC
godfather in 2023.

What if their candidate is Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu?

RuggedBiafran:
Instead they employ BMC members (with shallow brains) to insult the Man and his ideologies. Invariably, the Fulani herdsmen menace MNK talked about is ravaging the Nation, but to Yoruba people who are bearing the brunt of these invaders, their problem is Nnamdi Kanu.

I tuned in to a Radio station, and those castigating Nnamdi Kanu the Most are Yoruba. Is this not Madness

Never seen such hate from a people towards other peoples..ideology. It was these same Yoruba that chased Ghana people from Nigeria, in a bid to occupy the educational system in Nigeria. Since then standards have fallen Badly.

Nnamdi Kanu based his agitations on preaching hatred against other Nigerians especially the Hausa-Fulani and the Yorubas through vitriotic broadcast on Radio Biafra.

It's natural that those who feel offended by such hate filled broadcast will want Kanu to undergo trial and be punished if found guilty.

Neither Buhari nor Kanu is Yoruba, why bringing Yorubas into this topic sir?

The Shagari Government evicted ALL undocumented immigrants , majority of whom in the South were Ghanians and Tauregs in the North , how does this involve Yorubas?

Are the Yorubas in charge of education in Delta, Taraba, Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi?

gidgiddy:
What bothers me about all this is the foot dragging in Kanu's trial

You went all the way to Kenya to kidnapp a man, 8 months later, you are yet to open your case against him

It's a continuation of his cases before he jumped Bail.

donleo92:
Then let him be given an enabling environment to do so.... although nnamdi Kalu did wrong, but give him a chance to defend himself

The case is already in court.

He should change his legal team and make Robert Clarke (SAN) and/or Wole Olanipekun (SAN) his lead counsel.

This kind of scenerio is very common in rural areas in the 1990s.

The girls of nowadays hardly get pregnant unless they deliberately desire it.

Danjikanbauchi:
this Afonja Muslim want to set up fight even after reading she is a Kenyan.

But you did the same thing on the thread about the University of Jos female student killed by her YahooYahoo B/friend.
