We know he is being held to spite the Igbo, but that is not my concern.

Personally, I think the bastard should die there. He and his disciples including the disgusting Simon Ekpa, have done more harm to the Igbo people than even the greatest Northern/Yoruba Igbo haters put together have done.

The fact that he is still there, making noise and posturing as someone propagating the Igbo cause is super annoying to me. This animal and his goons destroyed the peace and harmony of the South East. He should be eradicated.

Sure, there is Igbo marginalisation, and it needs a committed movement to address that fact, but not never do well bastards like Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and their likes. If you want to be 'terrorists', then terrorise your oppressor(s), not your own people. Take your terror to the seat of government or to the door step of your perceived enemies. Not these pathetic, brain damaged, scallywags who delight in 'sabo' 'sabo' excuses to behave like savages against their own people.

One bottle of hennessy for you bro.
Nnamdi Kanu and his goons are the greatest enemy of Igboland and the people.
The way they kill their fellow Igbos is unimaginable no Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba can even dare to do that.
They act in most barbaric and wickedly against their own people and quick to brand anyone who have a different opinion as SABO and the penalty is death.They have reintroduced beheading of people and glorification of human head in Igboland.
May God forbid the idiots from Igboland.

Turkish people can't be treating Nigerians like trash in their country and have the audacity to do same in Nigeria.

That man deserves Oscar award from porn industry.

ariesbull:
na you borrow the word ?

Your village have native name for it apart from egusi,ain't you?
It is like saying kanda or nama is Igbo word because of its usage in Igboland.

Nomercie:
Thank God that you admit that the name "Egusi" Belong to Yoruba just as Ugu belong to Igbo.

Correct.I always state facts.

mrvitalis:
You want him to drop agitation when there is no hope of drop in marginalization?

Kanu may die in prison sure

But the record is a Yoruba man had the chance to free him but refused... That's the fact this thread is stating

You are talking from place of emotion not based on reality.
It is not about what I want it is about the reality on ground.Do you expert FG to release him to continue from where he stopped?
There must be compromises on both sides.Even Ikemba Nnewi applied and received amnesty before his return from exile.This is a fact.MNK have no reason to die in prison I do not know who is advising him.Our political leaders can handle the issue of marginalization.
Nnamdi Kanu is not agitating against marginalization he is agitating to break up Nigeria and form a nation called Biafra.Nobody will be arrested for protesting against marginlization.

mrvitalis:
Have court not ordered release of Kanu

FG doesnt want a solution to the crisis in the east.. That's the point... So that 50 years today Yoruba won't come and change the narrative that's why threads like this exists as record keeping

What ever happens to Kanu is fine but a Yoruba man refused to end the crisis when he could easily do that

FG appealed that judgement from appeal court and supreme court ruled that the case should continue.
However I support lasting solution that will restore peace to SE region.
I do not know why they haven't found that solution till now one party must be at fault.
I know how Uwazuruike regained his freedom from similar charges.There must be compromises from both sides.
Emotions and sentiments aside....If Nnamdi Kanu refuses to drop his agitation to break up Nigeria no government will release him.That is a fact...probably that is what is delaying his release.

mrvitalis:
Why I am happy that those minors charged with treason have be released and allowed to go home...But this has exposed the fact that Tinubu lead administration have intentionally prolonged Nnamdi kanus case

Not that it matters because I don't see any case what so ever FB have against Kanu as the little case they have they messed up by kidnapping him

But for People who like to change History, people who like Propaganda

This would be a reminder for future generations... Tinubu a Yoruba man lead government, intentionally refused to allow Political solution to Kanu case

Not tomorrow when Kanu wins the narrative would change... Let this be a reminder for the future Igbo generations

You are comparing apples and orange.Btw hundreds of detained IPOB members have also regained their freedom in the past.

EmperorCaesar:



Madam Bianca is lovable

She bears no grudge with anyone and as a very high profile person. She deems it a big privilege to serve her Fatherland

Does she have any reason to bear grudge?
She is one of them.

1Sharon:
What other names do you have for egusi?

Elili is the popular Igbo word for it might be called something else in some dialects.

ariesbull:
Cooking rubbish

Okro and Egwusi
Spinach and Egwusi

Tufia


Original name is Egwusi before Yoruba copied it

Egwusi is borrowed word there are other words for it in Igboland other than egwusi for example we call melon elili so does many communities.

1Sharon:
Are you now trying to lay claims to the soup even though it's eaten all over west Africa and even in Congo?

That is the question you should be asking the poster and Reno Omokri who claimed Egusi soup belonged to Yoruba.
The name egusi might be of Yoruba origin because we have other names for in it Igboland what does not belong to Yoruba is the soup.
Okra was adopted by the English from the Igbo word Okwuru that does not mean okra soup belonged to ndi Igbo alone.

Biodun556:
It is good. The governors must be held accountable

But Sanwo Olu have ran to court to protect him against being held accountable after his tenure people like you defended the criminal move.

LivingSage:
I was asked a question about the origin of the word Egusi by a Nigerian of Southeast origin. After my innocent response, I have received a barrage of insults, abuses and threats.

Please find attached an entry from the book Dictionary Of The Yoruba Language: English-Yoruba, Yoruba-English. This a 1913 edition of the book previously published in the Nineteenth Century by the Church Mission Society, an agency of the Church of England.

The book is also available online, from where I got this page.

Please find the word Egusi highlighted in red. I vow to pay ₦10 million to those who have been insulting me if they can show me an Igbo dictionary predating this book, which has an entry for the word 'Egusi' or 'Egwusi'.

The Igbo lexicon contains many Lukumi words in Igbo because the first book in the Igbo language, which incidentally was a dictionary, was written by a Lukumi man named Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther. It is titled Isoama-Ibo: A Primer, published in 1857. Bishop Crowther introduced several Lukumi words into the Igbo language.

Answering a question posed to me on the origin of the word Egusi does not mean that I hate Igbo. History is history. It does not love or hate anyone.

Truth is hate only to those who hate truth.

My documentary on the Igbo origin of Tobagan patois spoken in Tobago was aired on television. Can a man make a documentary to validate a people he hates?

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

#TableShaker

What belongs to Yoruba is the name egusi not the soup.Yoruba did not introduce melon to ndi Igbo what we adopted is the name egusi just like many Nigeria nigerians have adopted Ugu vegetable... .

Is rape not a criminal offence?
They should send him to jail.

Revisiting one by one. Obaseki served( serving)

Those listed sold ile Osa( gods land) like baba Wande

No Yoruba APC governor is corrupt?

LegendHero:
That’s exactly why Peter Obi and Otti rigged the election for ZLP.

They need to rig it because people are behind governor Otti.

Okwyjesus:
Why take major Ministry from SE only to give Bianca Minister of State.

Someone should help me understand.

SE has five Ministers

1 male - Major Ministry
4 Woman - Minister of State

Nawaoih

I wonder why some of our people are celebrating appointment of Bianca Ojukwu as a junior minister while another Igbo woman minster was sacked.

delpee:
A career diplomat is best as Foreign Affairs Minister. The current minister is one. Bianca was a political appointee like many others without the requisite training and experience because the foreign office staff would have taken charge of core operations. She's okay as the Minister of State. Otherwise, a full minister role in an area of her core qualification and experience.

A political appointment that is what it is.
A come chop small appointment from Tinubu to the wife of late Ojukwu thats all.

FreeStuffsNG:
I am particularly happy that patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction have now found their voice. I knew that this day will come.

Mr Obi recruited religious and tribal bigots and hate-filled them to the point that once you condemn his unpatriotic elements, they will attempt to blackmail you that condemning their unpatriotic conducts, cyberbullying and criminal defamation is an attack against the whole Igbo tribe. They tried severally and we resisted them then and today because we know that this day will come. They failed and they will continue to fail.

It is the patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction who are actually significant in number who must raise their voice to drown those unpatriotic elements working for Mr Obi so that other patriotic Nigerians will not be wrongly assuming that every Igbo is an unpatriotic element or a member of a terrorist group or tribal/ religious bigot.

I am grateful that patriotic Nigerians from every tribe and religion rejected Mr Obi for promoting tribal and religious bigotry.

Can you people concentrate on Tinubu's failing administration and figure out on how to help him since he employs only Yoruba people than masturbating on what Peter Obi says?

DomPerignon:
Muslims pray five times daily and make room for praying twice daily when they are at work. Friday's in Federal Govt and state civil service establishments and organizations in the north enjoy a half day of work.

Why has Obi not been able to critisize the Muslims over this ?

What of the Ibo Sabbath that holds for the entire Mondays across the SE where he comes from? Many of his fellow Ibos are complaining on how this has severely affected the productivity levels and seen to huge loss. The same Sabbath can be extended for an entire week as has been the case severally in the past with total blockade and curfew imposed by the Biafran separatists whom Obi once declared in the past are his "friends and neighbours".

Obi is a hypocrite and the more he opens his gutter mouth, the more he exposes his duplicity to the world.

Peter Obi have not put gun on anyone's head not to attend night vigil from monday to monday if that is what Nigeria christians want against employment.Meanwhile how about Tinubu's failed presidency doing?

Ikaeniyan0:
The same obi who turned the church to a campaign ground? The same Obi who told a pastor that the 2023 presidential election is a religious war?

When will obi sue people's gazette

Forget wetin Peter Obi did during election campaign and focus on your emilokan failed presidency who can not deliver his campaign promises and his wife wan come deceive Nigerians with prayers and fasting.

Fiscus105:
How has, Emefiele impacted to Ndigbo for close to 10yrs he spent as CBN governor?

How has 4 ministers from Ogun alone, improved lives of Ogun indigenes?

How has Tinubu beneficial to Yoruba alone?

My comment have to do with some persons who think appointment Bianca is special to ndi Igbo than other ministers but it is not.
She is like every other Igbo minister who will serve their master Tinubu with the best of their ability to no benefit to ndi Igbo.

Bianca Ojukwu's appointment is good but in my opinion she is more than qualified to be Minister of foreign affairs not minister of state which is a deputy minister.Honestly speaking her appointment is political and of no benefit to ndi Igbo in general.
She was appointed Ambassador to Spain during GEJ admin what difference did it make for ndi Igbo.
Bianca is a politician like any other.

Biodun556:
It is your Peter Obi that was throwing jabs

Focus on Yoruba failed Tinubu presidency.

illicit:
What's the purpose of this video

Why putting the life of those innocent people at risk

Who are those going to attack the innocent Igbos?
Of course the so called freedom fighters but after the attacks and killing some people will come online and blame external Igbo enemies while the real enemy is right there before us.

flokii:
The fear of Yoruba exit is the beginning of wisdom for them.. our security is in complete jeopardy because of the nepotism in favor of North by past Presidents. Incompetence, sabotage etc. became the order of the day.

Instead of the oppressed ones down South to be rejoicing that Yorubas have taken over, they are busy exhibiting hate, envy and jealousy for better by far Yorubas.

How do you expect southerners to rejoice with you when you dey chop alone?
Na eat alone die alone o.

flokii:
GEJ did far worse during his tenure as he marginalized Yorubas and appointed mostly Igbos into key Agencies and parastatals. The only notable Yoruba appointed by GEJ was Mr. Akinwumi Adeshina so why are the SEners making noise?.
They even went as far as taking up all the slots meant for Lagos State and were filling them with Igbos residing in Lagos , neglecting the indigenous people. First to do no dey pain.

Stop lying and show us GEJ appointment list.

Zackattack:
I really hope he doesn’t run, or at least, he should form a coalition because the opposition will once again be divided, with Peter Obi in town.
Tinubu will prefer Peter Obi running than not, in 2027.

Whether he runs or not INEC will still declare Tinubu as the winner against whoever that ran against him unless something drastic happens before 2027.
