TRUMP is the President of The United States of America - and will remain so for another 7+ years.

You may go and hug a live transformer if you are unhappy.

Rossikki:
You must be insane. Trump is a pathological liar who lies every time he opens his nasty racist lips. All America knows him as a monstrous liar with zero morals. And he has the lowest approval ratings of any president in US history.

Geeez. No wonder the mess is lingering on...

You make a baseless declaration and then turn around to HOPE that the figures and facts will agree with you?

What an affront?

What a shameless show of ignorance, naivety and gross insensitivity?

So Nairaland is now the propaganda arm of IPOB, and its anonymous poster is the chief propagandist, ba?

Guess you were in the moon when IPOB denied and debunked the fake story of having military camp in Isreal?

Please respect your old age na.

obailala:
The propaganda machinery of the ipob association is running on full blast, dishing out amusing and embarrassing stories on a daily basis; one keeps wondering what the obsession is with Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. Ironically, the propaganda they dish out happens to be very effective on the gullible target population.

A simple recitation of the meaning of democracy would have shown you where the power is; unfortunately that's not happening because you guys are deep into political stupor.

Seriously it baffles me how some obviously intelligent people are so mentally conditioned to the status quo that they become so blinded to rare strokes of genius and out-of-the box thinking.

Anyway, your collective dumbness is a pointer to the fact that IPOB is way ahead politically.

Well, for all I care IPOB should stay FAR AWAY from party politics even when Biafra is realized.

They should just concentrate on grassroot movement that keeps the political class in perpetual fear of the people. That's democracy.

Naruto87:
another writer attacked by online ipob warriors... the writer's write up is only a possible scenario that may or may not occur. also based on some responses there are other likely scenarios but in summary its a win win for the APC led govt.
its a shame that with the popularity ipob has gained they still fail to see the bigger picture. what happens if ipob has a political party? wouldn't it be easy to control most south east states by installing their candidates and later use such power to push their cause. for those seeking a referendum like Britain, just so u know they had a political party and also a sit in the government that made it possible to achieve it. think smart and not hard.

To me, the little rant below actually sounds most like the mental vomit of a blockhead.

Is it not funny that someone who cannot correctly spell referendum is having the effrontery to call Kanu a miscreant?

Thank God you are ibo and not Igbo, Mr. Alhaji.

Alanzazani:
I have also decided to start speaking up. We shouldn't allow these misguided youths overshadow reason with stupidity. Most of the ipob supporters on nairaland are just young and angry youths I can feel thier pain. They need an escape route. The country has failed all of us myself inclusive.

I have sat down analysed the current struggle and I have concluded Kanu is not the right person to spearhead this struggle. He lacks tact and wisdom. There are millions of ibos in Nigeria. If a referadum which I know won't be conducted is conducted we owe ourselves a duty not to be lackadasical about it. Ibos in the north, enlightened and nationalistic ibos should come out and make thier voice heard. These miscreants feel anybody with an opposing view is Yoruba. I have tried educating the blockheads how sitting at home will make APC claim Anambra state on a platter of gold. That criminal called Kanu is playing out a script. We will understand where this leads to at the end of the day. As per a state of emergency that won't happen my brother. Politicians will mobilise thier supporters to vote believe you me. If 10000 people cast thier votes in Anambra then an election held with voter apathy. The only downside is an unpopular government will finally be installed in anambra state. And this lunatic would have succeeded in destroying the gains recorded in anambra state after the end of the reign of the criminal government of Mbadinuju. With all the ibo you wrote here one kid called you an Afonja. Wonder will never end

You are simply missing the point.

Amarabae:
APC will win Anambra state. Mark it down anywhere.
IPOB will shoot themselves in the leg with this election bycott.
APC has the FG Backing and Inec machinery.
Result will be called and APC Candidate sworn in.
Anambra people should not fold their hands and watch the development of the state come to a halt due to these bycott.
Return Obiano to 2nd tenure or vote for another good candidate.
IGBOS love to shoot themselves in the leg all the time due to an over emotional nature which overshadows the sense of stragetic reasoning and planning.

[/s]

By the way, if Obiano loses, it has zero thing to do with IPOB or boycott.

Trying to engage you is actually foolish. What's the point engaging an idiot who is dumb enough to utter the following geberish?

iamexcelblog:
...
And believe me when I tell you that most of them are from Enugu and Ebonyi. Most Anambrarians are more focused on making our state a beacon of progress in Igboland.

You are confused.

1. Your true fear is that Andy Uba may win the election if the boycott succeeds. But rather than face your fear squarely you chose to lie against IPOB

2. Election boycott is a very peaceful and valid means to getting a binding exit referendum. So shut up.

3. Go and do a decent historic research on election boycotts in democratic rules before you come here to rant dumbly.

iamexcelblog:
Mr Man calm down. At least be using your sense for once. I don't need anybody's like for any nonsense. Go through my posts and see if am an arse licker. I support Nnamdi Kanu when he says anything that will further the Igbo development.

But after taking sometime to analyse few events, its become obvious that we are heading now where. Believe me that Biafra can be achieved if we have the right people that know the right button to press.

Who does election boycott help? Can't you people read the hand writing on the wall and see the evil plan of the FG to take over Anambra? Worst come to worst, riot will break out everywhere and it becomes a war zone. Because believe me, there are bigger sellouts like Andy Ubah you need to be worried about. These are rogues who are waiting on the sidelines to catch in on the impending chaos and loot the state down.

You are probably twenty something, and over-estimating yourself.

I don't know where you got your info from, but my aunt in Onitsha told me over the phone that IPOB is always very peaceful. Your info is clearly fake considering that there was a sit at home order and IPOB has never been indicted for any kind of violence.

iamexcelblog:

A fake MalcomX jihadist presumes he too has an opinion on igbo identity.

*Edit



OP, You are actually super shallow and clownish.

1. You had stated zero point, but a pile of horse dung.

2. IPOB is the acronym for Indigenous People of Biafra (Not indigenous People of Nigeria). So you have zero point.

3. Biafra has been indeed subjected to a systematic cultural and existential genocide. Check the history.

4. Before the colonial Nigeria, Biafra was.

5. Biafra predates Nigeria which has always been an imperial colony in reality.

For your basic education:

Indigenous peoples, also known as first peoples, aboriginal peoples, native peoples, or autochthonous peoples, are ethnic groups who are descended from and identify with the original inhabitants of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples

Indigenous people are people defined in international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their historical ties to a particular territory, and their cultural or historical distinctiveness from other populations that are often politically dominant.Jan 2, 2017

http://www.indigenouspeople.net/

Understanding the term “indigenous”


Considering the diversity of indigenous peoples, an official definition of “indigenous” has not been adopted by any UN-system body. Instead the system has developed a modern understanding of this term based on the following:

• Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member.

• Historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies

• Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources

• Distinct social, economic or political systems

• Distinct language, culture and beliefs

• Form non-dominant groups of society

• Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities.


A question of identity:

• According to the UN the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples. This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights documents.

• The term “indigenous” has prevailed as a generic term for many years. In some countries, there may be preference for other terms including tribes, first peoples/nations, aboriginals, ethnic groups, adivasi, janajati. Occupational and geographical terms like hunter-gatherers, nomads, peasants, hill people, etc., also exist and for all practical purposes can be used interchangeably with “indigenous peoples”.

• In many cases, the notion of being termed “indigenous” has negative connotations and some people may choose not to reveal or define their origin. Others must respect such choices, while at the same time working against the discrimination of indigenous peoples.


Culture and Knowledge

Indigenous peoples are the holders of unique languages, knowledge systems and beliefs and possess invaluable knowledge of practices for the sustainable management of natural resources. They have a special relation to and use of their traditional land. Their ancestral land has a fundamental importance for their collective physical and cultural survival as peoples.

Indigenous peoples hold their own diverse concepts of development, based on their traditional values, visions, needs and priorities.

Political participation


Indigenous peoples often have much in common with other neglected segments of societies, i.e. lack of political representation and participation, economic marginalization and poverty, lack of access to social services and discrimination. Despite their cultural differences, the diverse indigenous peoples share common problems also related to the protection of their rights. They strive for recognition of their identities, their ways of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources.

MalcoImX:
Don't give a hoot 'bout Igbo identity, but to state unequivocally what you cannot dispute. 'I'POB mischievously used the term in question to gain support of international community, and so far, apart from the local noise, he's not been successful.

[/s]

Stop making this noise.

1) If IPOB is a bunch of ineffective "lunatics" (as you claimed) you won't be here ranting about "compulsory voting". The fact that you invest your time and energy in threads like this is a sufficient proof that IPOB is getting its job well done.

2) The Nigerian political system is structurally rigged against the south - especially the present south east zone. How many sits does south east have in the national assembly? How many state assemblies are in the south east as opposed to the north west; let alone the entire north?

Going by the rogue document running the current structure, you require a yes from at least 2/3 of all federal and state assemblies to make any real change.

3) So my dear, if you like elect Kanu's incarnate into all the political offices in the south east, you cannot change anything following a rigged formula that's deliberately designed to suppress you.

4) Fact is, IPOB is way ahead of you and your ilks politically.

Stop following the status quo, nothing will change that way.

austinvsb1:
You want referendum in the constitution but don't want to vote in representatives that legally demand for the inclusion. Who are this people?

I appreciate that you choose to be positive.

teemy:
@paschu true, you are right in both. however, my reference to 'external partes' was not in reference to flagged political parties. funny i almost posted that i do not have alll the answers but a lot can be gained from multitude of counsel. cheers dear.

You are grossly myopic and uninformed politically.

Who told you that joining party politics is the only way to influence political outcomes?

You guys are terribly backward. Yet for some funny reasons you think you know it all.

teemy:
i believe it should and i feel ipob has been short changed so much for not taking its place on the decision table leaving it to external parties who care less.

The fact that you could put the following sentences together (and online) is a proof that you are way better off than millions of other Nigerians. And as such, you have the potential to earn a decent living if you are willing to harness your many potentials and channel them into pratical values through creative hard work and productive living.

So, unless you are terminally sick, you have zero justifiable reason to give up. Eternity may judge you harshly if you chicken out without making your life worth it. Help is all around you. You only need to make up your mind that you are more than able to make it, no matter what.

Please refuse to give up. Refuse to lose control of your thoughts. Refuse to be negative. You can do it. Yes, you can.

helme:
thank you,i have been reading many stuffs and all I have learnt in all is that death is the ultimate peace. Maybe the day I will summon that courage I will embrace it,i actually need to rest, life is not worth living for me anymore. Someone told me recently that I am born to suffer and I believe him.

Mynd44 I haill thee o!

Got it.

Sorry meant to quote that zombie

Was that a friendly fire or something?

FeloniousFelon:
Nigeria is not lagos

Whatever exploitative tax policy you have going in lagos can not be replicated outside your agbereoe SW

This here is exactly the reason APC will be flushed out in 2019 and never win federal election again in Nigeria, until it realizes that it is immoral to leach on people's wealth in guise of taxation.

TheCabal:
We go soon see. After the tax amnesty end.

We go see who go go America shoot video, after FIRS hit you bill at end of the tax year collect like 65%.

We go see who wan fly abroad.

Of course it's not that I'm not aware of the bolded. But I do have a tiny hope that Mynd44 is smart enough to keep folks like us in doubt of his BMC connection.

Failure to move this thread to FP will leave out all doubts.

FeloniousFelon:
Mynd44 is BMC and so works for Lai Mohammed


I expect this thread to be buried in Entertainment section soon

Mynd44, lalasticlala, are you guys seeing this?

Well done bro!

SalamRushdie:
This is the kind of poor reasoning sequence that has defines the Buhari led administration that has made them kill everything they have touched ..,Now they have fixed their destructive eyes on our music industry which is currently our only creative /intellectual export, an industry that hard working Nigerian youths despite all the odds and zero support from govt either morally or "infrastructurally" , today these youths have taken that industry to international heights singlehandedly and now Lai Mohammed thinks it's time to tell them where to shoot videos ..There are many ways Lai can support them instead of killing them with his short sighted approach, for one he could look into why people go out side to shoot musical videos some of which are

1: Lack of support infrastructure like electricity and security : To shoot a five mins video in Nigeria you will have to go about with giant generator mounted on the back of a truck you hired because of the lack of electricity and then you have pay policemen to secure the locations from hoodlums or area boys .

2. Lack of critical equipment: Many of the critical equipment needed to shoot a good movie are not available in country because the poor economy won't allow our film makers the financial opportunity or banking support to purchase these equipments ..Try going to a bank to look for a 60 million Narnia loan to purchase high tech film making equipment.

3.Some of our poorly thought out laws make shooting a video very cumbersome in Nigeria E.G Right now using a common flying camera or photo drone to get some aerial shots has become a difficult & cumbersome process where the film maker has to license the drone at 850k and still get security clearance from the office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja ..

4: Lack of critical manpower and cast ..:Due to the hardship many Nigerians are facing getting the proper cast for your musical video is not easy at it seems because many of the cast are expected to dress themselves up for a shoot which they can't afford and the music video director can't afford it either but in South AFRICA all the artiste needs to do is show up and and music video company would have organised everything from cast to set to costume ..

We could go on and on ...Mr Lai Mohammed should concentrate instead on improving the primary goals of governance which Infrastructure, Agriculture, Health , equity and security ...Has Mr Lai Mohammed even asked himself how he intends carry out his empty short sighted threat , is he going to stop a Wizkid who is more of an international artiste now from shooting his next video at some exotic location? How exactly is he going to do that ...This govt was a great mistake

Mynd44, lalasticlala

Mynd44, I will keep calling you o.

Just do the needful if you don't want me to keep reminding you.

Oh, shut up already!

You want Biafra, yet you want to keep participating in Nigeria elections? Don't you see how stupid that sounds? If you cannot boycott Nigeria elections then you do not deserve Biafra.

I spoke with my elderly aunt in Onitsha over the phone the other day and was amazed at the level of loyalty and sympathy which IPOB commands among the regular Anambra folks.

See, there will definitely be election in Anambra in November, but the VAST MAJORITY of the people will boycott it and stay at home WILLINGLY.

Ipobdevil:
No problem start from your papa house and not my state becareful or it will be the people that will rise to beat you people up before Police go come serf . Until Biafra come we must strive to elect good leaders like Ojukwu

Could not have been apter!

A trillion likes jare!

Mynd44, Lalasticlala, it's 10am already. Please let Mr. Lai and the BMC defend themselves.

FeloniousFelon:
After Kemi and Fashola's foolishness is yet to die down, Lai Mohammed decided to join the fools parade.

While Kemi wants to stop borrowing but can't and sees taxation levied on phantom millionaire beggars as a way to boost the treasury and with Fashola lobbying on behalf of DISCOs to increase tarrifs while blaming Jonathan for his failure, Lai Mohammed came out to threaten a blanket ban on foreign content in Nigeria's entertainment industry without specifying how he or the useless APC led FG will be able to prevent Nigerian artistes and movie industry in going abroad to shoot music videos or movies.

The Nigerian entertainment industry is the most organic sector of our economy, one which was developed from scratch and fine tuned mainly from local talent with little or no govt subsidy. If there ever was a deregulated and fully self sustaining functioning sector in our economy, it has to be the entertainment industry.

And being true to its organic roots, the entertainment sector deprived of govt subsidy has shown how big govt participation is not a recipe for an industry to thrive. This is a sector which has since gone global and which now considers the outside world as it's primary target audience. A sector that has empowered many young people in so many far more better ways than the myopic APC govt can ever think of. Naturally, the Nigerian entertainment industry should be the sector the clueless buffons manning our economy ought to consult and encourage as they have shown the way towards self employment, empowerment and economic diversification. The sector is who that Idiot Kemi is supposed to encourage growth and not going after millioniare beggers who exist only in her vapid empty brain.

While Kemi's gross mishandling and disgrace of her current ministerial portfolio can be excused due to her retardation , what do we have to say motivated that blatant lousy liar, Lai Mohammed when he declared his intention to ban foreign content in the entertainment industry? It is almost as if Lai Mohammed wants to kill the sector and extend Buhari's unemployment policy to the only thriving sector of our economy.

For the likes of Lai Mohammed to bring his foolishness to the sector by declaring his ministry's intention of banning shooting of music videos or Nollywood films abroad smacks of gross stupidity, hypocrisy and a rare form of extreme bad belle.

The other day, one of Buhari's useless media aides was boasting of Yam exports as an achievement since they expect us to go back to the farm and labor for them to help stock up the National treasury with dollars for them to steal. The price of garri has astronomically risen after they began selling Cassava to China to be used as an industrial input over there. These set of vile wicked old men have no clue on how to add value to anything rather they are willing to sell the furniture (and us included) to pay the rent.

Had Lai Mohammed done a passive research on the net contributions of the entertainment industry as per its contribution to our GDP, he would have known that this sector repatriates more funds back to Nigeria compared to the fractions spent overseas.

If Lai is to ban Nigerian entertainment industry from going abroad and limit them to North Korea hermit status will it be safe to also assume that Lai will also ban our artistes from honoring invitations and gigs from abroad? Or will he also ban the sale of Nigerian movies and music CDs also from being exported?

Lai mohammed should begin to learn how to imbibe the wisdom of thinking before one speaks because it is obvious this old fool, just like all the useless Buahri ministers seem not to have any grain of common sense!

Government actually don't have real power (or ability) to ban foreign movie/music production in Nigeria. They may try, but they can only hurt their government in doing so.

Fact is, APC is a socialist cum communist party who think they can get everything done with silly regulations.

But the bigger fact is, Psquare (or anyone in Nollywood) can shoot their videos abroad and distribute it online without touching Nigeria physically, and the silly APC government will do ABSUTELY NOTHING about it.

These guys are just a bunch of clueless opportunists masqurading as leaders. The only language they seem to understand is dumb regulation and more dumb regulations.

APC don't know the meaning of incentives and inclusiveness.

fineboynl:
it's no longer news there is motive to kill Nigeria westernized art for Islamist movement. Nigeria entertainment is no longer a Nigeria thing only, but international like the USA. the only market Nigeria music has not touch is the USA due to the fact that they are heavy weights in music. and some of them are already using Nigeria influenced song to enter Europe and international market to promote themselves or album as we have seen from Drake and kenya West.

you cannot ban Nigeria art from shooting video outside except you want to kill it, nollywood never got anything from government to get to this height. the only thing the government can do is to tell them to try to shoot some and encourage local moving not saying you are banning it.

we all knows that Nigeria don't have the capacity to shoot BBN in Nigeria let not shy away. we are not just there yet.

i have made conclusion that this is a jihad movement to islamized Nigeria by killing nollywood.

Slow down bro. The hate vocalization is unneccessary.

BiafraBushBoy:
Lol... let me put it this way.

Last quarter when I was evaluating the KPI of my department, I fvcking fired about 5 of them. They were all from the wastern part!!

Call me a tribalist, and I am happy!

I don't like them, and I don't come close to them. Screenshot this and keep, I don't fucking.

You think I don't have a job? Lol... Thanks for your concern!!

Only a worthless ediot can litter a public forum with this kind of toxic mental poo.

nonsobaba:
Shut up! Obiano was very right in issuing that press statement. Those people killed at nkpor were actually wawa and abakaliki criminals who were planning to unleash mayhem on businesses and government formations in onitsha metropolis. We got that intel from a very reliable source. And mind you, non of those criminals killed was an anambra indigene. There were mostly wawa and abakaliki hoodlums and a few others from Imo state. So Obiano's re-election is on course. Don't forget that Peter Obi killed more of those criminals and got re-elected. It is a widely cherished policy of the anambra state government.
