It's really silly how some people think. What exactly will Buhari lose if Lagos is brought down..... nothing....infact he might like it. These people should leave people's property. If anything needs to be burnt down it should be in Abuja where a preponderant of structures were erected using National fund. (I still don't support destruction of structures at all). People should eschew destruction of property for crying out loud.
YungMillionaire: Southerners are foolish. You notice Northern youths are not protesting. What does that tell you? Because, I see all these ENDSARS asking for the benefits of democracy. But in Nigeria democracy is in the hands of Northerners because they are the majority. So, if the Northerners don't want what you want, you will never get it UNDER Nigerian democracy. What the South should be asking for is:
1. Regionalism or 2. Secession. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time.
After you burn down Lagos and the SW, then last last you will return back to the same Nigerian democracy where the North will continue to determine WHAT you get.
They should not destroy things in Lagos.... they should call for restructuring/disintergrattion of this evil country. The Incompetent president is applying make up to appear in FEC meeting while 49 Nigerian youths have been killed already.
All these people using "South South" to express their hate for Igbos, all I can say is "sorry there is nothing your entire race present past and future can do about the Igbo success.
We quite understand how you feel......it's pitiful coming from a place where even the indigenes don't appreciate their own existence,...they don't have hopes of being great, they don't celebrate their little breakthroughs... instead they focus on trying to run other people down.
You will keep on having high blood pressure ontop nothing.
I am an Igbo man. An average Igbo man doesn't believe that any other human being is better than him.....
Every Igbo man is a king in the waiting.
You could as well start appreciating the little your tribe is able to achieve and leave Igbos alone.
We are self driven people, we are Igbos......this is not pride, it's one of the ways we use to conquer our obstacles.....
Quit hating Igbos so that you don't die Young
Abasman008: I hate the fact that someone will just use every opportunity to make sure they look for a way to show that you are useless and they are more useful than you are. Somone from SE made a post that they don't need the SS, instead of stopping there after he made his point clear, he still went ahead to pour deterogatory statements on SS and why SE does not need SE who is useless. He went as far as threatening that should the SS not give way to sea that they'll take it by force. Next is when someone posted about the SS not being part of Biafra, people from the SE attacked the person with words of how the SS is useless and polluted, with multiple ethnic confused people. Just because people want to be alone? Why all these words? In between people that will be neighbors one day? Must the SE always make mockery of everyone? That not withstanding, I can say that Oduduwa might be born , Niger Delta Republic born and SE is still part if Nigeria. People who are serious and Knows what they want go undercover and do what they want without announcing it.. no prisoners tries to escape by alerting the prison guards.
Personally, there are better individuals from the South East like Engr. Dave Umahi governor of Ebonyi state, Peter Obi, Prof.Charles Soludo...etc....but if a bullion van patronizer has the effrontery to nurse the ambition of ruling this Country who am I to stand on the way of Orji
I didn't read a word from the epistle.... because I smell "slavery" everywhere.....Afonjaness should be drafted into the English dictionary to reflect the true state and nature of some people
lekki1444: So a certain aspect of the country are very proud of the fact that they do not have godfathers ( The south east ) but coincidentally that part of the country is in disarray and indigenes of that part of the country run into the part of the country that has a godfather because the part that has godfathers is the most prosperous and most organised, relatively speaking of course. So the point is a man has to be stupid to say he doesnt want something but is running into the place where what he doesnt want exists. Proving that you need a central figure with a vision who will put the pieces together to make the vision come true. These central figures are called kingmakers or godfathers and it is because Lagos state has had godfathers from its inception is why it is the hub that it is today. There are other states with ports that are strategically located who can takeover from Lagos and become the next hub but these states have no godfathers. Everybody is just running around like a headless chicken doing their own thing and getting in each others way. A governor can build something and then the next governor wike will come in and knock down everything the previous governor built. Just a bunch of headless chickens with no central vision is why these states are in disarray and everyone is running to Lagos which is the sole place that has a very active godfather. The yorubas have always had godfathers with the central vision who will then appoint people to realise that vision. It is the godfathers of yoruba land who approached the portuguese and the british and said,we need you to make this the main trading route. And this is why Lagos is the hub it is today. The godfathers have been the akitoyes, the lamurudus, madam tinubu, the kosokos and in modern day it is the Jagaban.
The idea that you can build a world class civilization without godfathers is preposterous. The western world with all its organisation and prosperity is that way because they have godfathers who run the whole show behind the scene. These godfathers are the kingmakers and it is them who choose the people who you will vote for but behind the scene both parties work for the godfathers and so it matters not who wins because they all work for the same people. So what they have in the west is an illusion of democracy but it really is a dictatorship run by godfathers. YOU CANT BUILD A FUNCTIONAL CIVILIZATION WITHOUT gODFATHERS. The godfathers pioneering the destiny of the west are the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Duponts and the Gettys.
In conclusion this whole igbo mans speech of we dont want godfathers in the east is just the ramblings of a child. when you are ready to get some work done and come up the ranks ? you better go find you a godfather or else the place will continue to be in disarray. Meanwhile in Lagos we will continue to support our Kingmaker aka the godfather aka JAGABAN. He is not a perfect man but the place would be a lot worse without him as the central figure directing the affairs and appointing kings. it was him who gave us Raji Fashola arguably the best nigerian goevernor in the past 50 years
He was humiliated beyond expectations,....how could he not be a "movement" when bullion van keeps moving to and fro his house..........Your are really a movement >:
All of them beg the hell out of people in all Nigeria airports. An experience I had at Abuja airport, dude ceased my Wonderful perfume and turned around to ask me for something.... the kind eye whey I look am ehhn...[quote author= post=94039248]Reports!
The man who works at the airport that Nigerian singer, Davido tipped $100 in a video that went viral some few days ago have cried out on social media begging for Davido’s intervention after he was sacked, Reports.
From The Information Gathered By , The airport official who identity is yet to be known was allegedly sacked from work for defying the ethics of the profession which is taking money from customers.
According to him in a video chanced on by .com, he was relieved of his post by management for begging a passenger for money and has cried out to Davido to tell his employers he did not beg them.
The distressed man who claims has children and a wife said he did not beg him but only hailed Davido whereby on his own will gave him the money, Reports.
All these village Yoloba boys that have never seen a well head in their entire lineage .......It's even very likely that you may not have seen crude oil in real life
I Will say it anywhere, I have meticulously thought through any other possible tribe to have chosen from if I am denied my Igboness ...guess what...THERE IS NON! All my children will be known by their Igbo names....I mean all
Awol1: Someone asked me, is it really true that after the civil war, Nigeria made a law and the only thing Igbos were entitled to was 20 pounds, no matter how much they had in the bank? The answer is yes. It was so cruel that sane people would doubt it.
It was intended to create a generational almajiric poverty pandemic but it failed, we reached deep down our inner man, "perspire to acquire" and we rose.
What that meant is this, averagely, Igbos were rendered so poor, so miserable that they had to start afresh with just 20 pounds in 1970, immediately after the civil war.
But today, if you must maintain over 80% of the cars in Nigeria, you are over 90% sure of paying to Igbos as they are everywhere providing your car spare parts needs; from 20 pounds we rose!
Today, if there are 4 Nigerians in diaspora making Nigeria proud, in invention, in academics, in every human endeavor, you are 95% sure that 2 out of the 4 are Igbos; from 20 pounds, we rose!
Today, if you must build, you are over 70% certain of paying to Igbos, as they are scattered everywhere rendering services of making building materials available; from 20 pounds, we rose!
Today, if you feel too good with yourself that you want to change your electronics, ICT gadgets, phones, and etc, there are over 50% chances you will be paying the Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!
Today, probably looking at half of your wardrobe, there are 50% chances you paid directly or indirectly to Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!
Today, if you are tired of government failed healthcare system, there are 50% chances that your need of private medical care will be provided by Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!
Today, if you are able to afford your medications provided by indigenous pharmaceutical firms as against the CUT-THROAT price of multi national brands, there are over 70% chances that Igbos are meeting your needs, from 20 pounds, we rose!
If you must watch movies, there are over 70% chances that we will be on your faces, from 20 pounds, we rose!
If you must watch Nigeria entertain you with football as national pride, there are over 60% chances that Igbos are the one making you happy, from 20 pounds, we rose!
If your Olympic team must make sense, there are about 50% chances that you have embraced Igbos, from 20 pounds, we rose!
See, you can no longer destroy Igbos without rendering Nigeria eternally colourless. Yes, you can't destroy Igbos again.
They say we boast and gloat, if your ancestors passed through what ours passed through and in a little above 5 decades, you rose to where we are, your boast will be more than ours. Besides, boasting is not a "sin" punishable by death, hate or hunting down.
We are no longer begging for survival, we are stamping our feet that we will no longer apologise for being Igbos.
You might not like our boasts, you might not like our noise, is that not little a price for the colour we add to Nigeria?
Look around you, tell me the truth, if Igbos are removed from your immediate environment, how colourful will that your environment still be? Your doctor, your football star, movie star, pharmacist, pharmacy, private hospital, petty traders, spare parts supplier, building material supplier, music stars, cloth and shoe makers...etc?
We add colour to Nigeria...We are PROUDLY Igbo.
We are not actually a problem, we are largely a pool of solution.
We are Igbos, we survived the Nigerian Holocaust and Genocide
In a free and fair election Tinubu can't win a senatorial seat in Lagos.
MrColdsweat: I've said this countlessly that Lagos election has always been constantly rigged because agbaje is a novice.
Last year, they had to harass non-yorubas at the polls with thugs. Even a yoruba tout was almost killed at ikotun. Tinubu cannot win lagis state without vote-buyung and thuggery.
Why did oba akiolu threaten to drown igbos?
They know this, that is why they feel threatened. That is why igbophobia increased on nairaland after last election.
And you are very correct. A discussion I had today with an escort I took to work revealed alot that I never knew. The force men from middle belt are strongly and silently in support of this struggle. They are tired of this country
dokyOloye: Hausa-Fulani feudal kleptocracy group should've known by now Igbos aren't afraid of death. What haven't they done before? They started killing us even b4 independence, if in doubt google Jos 1945 and Kano 1953 killings. They're making a great mistake thinking any Christian anywhere in Nigeria will join them to fight Igbos the day a full blown war will start again. Britain, Russia dare support and supply them again like they did in 67.
Dickeyrider: Why is your so called tribe so stubborn and intolerant? Government say no Ipob gathering yet you people gather to constitute nuisance and defy government orders. Are you the only tribe in Nigeria? Why can't you people be civil and obey the laws of your own country? I don't blame the government, you guys like the taste of hot lead on your skulls
A Yoruba man teaching a full grown man who is a graduate that their people are from somewhere else....and for him to believe that he is actually where he came from, means that he is either a migrant or he doesn't know where he came from ....I have a good number of Yoruba friends. I always tell them that their reasoning is very different from the Yoruba folks online.
MinorityOpinion: Let me break it down for you, I like your approach OP, no insult, no abuse, it is quite strange to me but you have done well in that part.
Igbos only influenced the riverine tribes, they are not the same with igbos, Igbos are travellers so their culture and language must have dominated the small tribes of the riverine area they migrated to. I have a documented article by a British man that visited the area in 1800. Another thing is that dressing like igbos and speaking igbos doesn't mean they are igbos, for example look at Yoruba cousin, the Igala, they belong to Yoruboid group, they wear clothes that look like Yoruba dress, our language is quite similar to theirs, so can you tell me, are igalas in Anambra Yoruba?
I understand some of your point, your family may be one of earlier igbos immigrant and you said, your elders have said they are not Igbos you can't know more than your elders.
I miss the days when we had powerful 'strong-head' foreign ministers who would never brook any rubbish from Ghana and the like.
A roll-call of warriors like:
Bolaji Akinyemi
Jaja Wachukwu
Ishaya Audu
Joe Garba
Ojo Maduekwe
Baba Gana Kingibe
Ike Nwachukwu
Tom Ikimi
Sule Lamido
We need men in the mould of the above listed ex-foreign ministers, to go out there and fight for Nigerians, and bang down the president's door to demand action in the event of foreign provocative acts against this country, rather than this smiley-smiley man that seems too scared to hurt a fly.
Can you imagine Tom Ikimi, Ojo Maduekwe or Bolaji Akinyemi doing 'fine boy' if Ghana bulldozes our embassy in Accra, and then starts harassing Nigerians working there?
Akinyemi was even demanding Nigeria goes nuclear, and develops the 'black bomb' during his time.
These are the types of foreign ministers we want. Fighters for the nation.
Just as someone said above, a Federal Government that cares for the young population should constantly organize an invent where the primary school pupils, secondary school students and undergraduates have the opportunity of interacting one on one with people like this.
It will go a long way in shaping their way of thinking as a lot of them would see a role model in people like this.
This will enhance their dreams because they have someone to look up to.
It was so disappointing to see some IT students who were petroleum engineering students (going to their finals) in my company refer to one "Tacha" as their role model.
This CV is impressive and I hope to come close to it sometime in the future.
