Yesterday, someone gave me what Magnus Abe(Ogoni) said of OUR Ijaw people, today you are telling me what Saro Wiwa(Ogoni) has to say of people that he has NO blood relation with in your bid to deny the words of the children of these people who clearly stated..


How can a Bini man tell of the Yoruba ancestry when Yorubas have their own story? No even Oba of Benin can go against them.

Who was the ancestors of your phantom Ndoki?

Go to the President and People of the group (Phone number provided) and enquire or tell him what Wikipedia/Wiwa says about them.

That Amaechi called Buhari "Igbo" doesn't make Buhari an Igbo man. Pls do well by letting me be.

dearpreye:
My comrade, good morning. Let's forget the past errors of our people and move ahead. As for ME, if there are any group of people I'll never take for granted, they are the Igbos. No one has ALL the details that happened during the Civil War, but I feel a lot of you are gradually overreacting to barcanista's needless article.

Mortiple:
Make no mistake, I am a full-blooded and passionate Igboman and will defend anything Igbo at all cost, if such need arises. However, I do not believe in Biafra; don't want to have anything to do with it and will never be part of it.

omenka:
Afam, I thought you are a mod and as such should refrain from taking sides on issues of this nature.

Nevertheless, I think you guys are taking this whole thing too darn serious, heck!!! I can't even believe the things I'm reading.

Shattap, iwu onye ara!!!

Owu onye kwuo okwu, eriri pant ya adobie?!

Go back where? (Ole ebe ina ala)?

Echem ma inwere ako-na-uche (I thought you have common sense)!

PROVE IT AND STOP COMPLAINING

hardywaltz:
I can guess why she lost in Lagos
Just like ZIK...

Congrats my fellow Anambraian....
We always lead while others follow

ghostmist:
I laugh whenever i hear people say "the Igbos hate themselves".
Ever wondered how we were able to bounce back so quickly after the civil war?? here is your answer.
WE take great pride in our communities, our people and our way of life; and, WE NEVER APOLOGISE FOR THAT!
what they call hate,is nothing but the internal competition they see us engage in,which of course is geared towards our improvement.

sagitariusbaby:
This is staunchly unbelievable, wish we have more of people like him in this country. All we have is some group of professional oles whom the ignorant hail as saints and heros

sukkot:
please stop getting overtly emotional and sentimental and lying. this man is a very rare igbo man. no igbo man attains wealth and helps his brother. if all igbo men attained wealth and helped their brother the 5 igbo states will be like heaven now. igbos like to oppress each other. thats the truth. if everybody is rich then there is no one to oppress right ?

sukkot:
so one igwe out of millions of igbos ? in any tribe in the world you will hear the stories of one or two kind people. so you are not saying much bro

Kennydoc:
You're not saying the truth. Among the major tribes in Nigeria, Igbos are more likely to help their brothers, whether directly or indirectly when they attain wealth than people from other tribes. That's why majority of developmental projects in Igbo land were brought about by private individuals rather than the government.
In my village currently, there are several scholarship programmes to help train the indigent up to university level. The main challenge is even in the inability of young people to pass JAMB these days, not in the insufficiency of funds for their training.

It's mainly in the north that you have rich Alhajis who will rather want almajiris that will remain poor and destitute, and be subject to his wishes than send them to school so that they will become financially empowered and independent.

Abbycite:
If I tell u "u are making sense"........I will be lying to you

liberty300:
if I hear. Nairaland mods don't care for developmental news, they all care political jargons and hate filled posts.

asha80:
what is the 14 storey for?

TonyeBarcanista:
Well, enough is indeed enough. I believe that the event must be recounted by whoever witnessed it, but with the aim of educating, informing and influence a better decision of our people. However, what keep troubling me is how some IPOB youths go about it. Calling PHC 'Igweocha' is nothing but heavy slap on all of us. The most painful is tagging us 'traitors' by the IPOB youths. I think they should define what they actually want and bring to the table to enable us determine whether or not we will align to it.

atbu1983:
If you give Igbo man an inch, he will take 10 metres. Among all commentators on Nairaland, d igbos on nairaland are so pain by ur position on Biafra because they cant call you a yoruba man.

They expected every pro GEJ in south south to be pro Biafra. That is what the IPOB noise is base upon to deceive many south south people to follow them to Slaughter house. No deep thinking south south perso will agree to Biafra.

What they fail to understand is that i may be pro APC south south person today while you may be Pro PDP south south person today. We may not agree on political issues. But on the issues of our ethnic nationalities we dont give a damn about PDP or APC. That is where they got it wrong.

The BIafra Igbo want is d Biafra were they can completely remove south south people from history. In d Biafra they want, Igbo alone will be more than 60% of the population. With that they can have thier way. Impose igbo language on every school and claim is for national unity. In less than 50years we will all loose our identity.

Even as at today, they dont recognise or respect many ethnic group in south south. As far as they are concern Ikwerre, Opopo, ika etc are igbo. They dont care what these people think.

Icon4s:
So anybody that does not share ur view on Biafra is Yoruba.

Nwanne ge nti. A burum onye Ofe mmanu.Abum onye Igbo.

Majority of Igbos are against this ur Biafra agitation. Our Igbo leaders have severally openly dissociated itself from it. So hu will table ur agitations now? As I said " keep dreaming".

U simply dnt have d Igbo spirit bc Igbos are not known to b dreamers but realists.
