Ozommadu:


Are you wailing now?

After occupying ojota in 2012 when fuel and inflation was minimum? You suddenly keep mute now fuel is #680, rice #48k?? Are you not deceitful??

Same way u fought with both tooth and nails just to keep Jonathan for another 4yrs in furtherance to ur illicit substandard goods flooding the country as a result of ur captured Jonathan for waiver grant... u're still pain 8yrs after.

Go and learn politics and understand that yoruba people aren't ut mate in all ways else u will remain underdog

You're going off point.

You know Jonathan was not a magician but you occupied ojota when fuel was #145, now you shamelessly wants to twist reality.

There's not a single landlocked country amongst the 25 leading economies in the world....strange.
But I agree with you, let the Biafrans go.

what are you talking about, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Botswana, Kazakhstan are all landlocked countries. Plus, igboland has access to sea.

The biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria won't let that happen. To be clear, the biggest beneficiaries are the South West and Islamic North.

In the north, people are mostly agrarians. So, they don't directly benefit from the system. However, the the wealthy among them largely depend on politics and government appointments to get by. That's why they control a significant percentage of Niger Delta oil wells.

For the South West, Nigeria has made Lagos State one of the biggest economies in Africa. Now, the growth of Lagos is spilling over into neighbouring states, which is a win for the South West. When I saw Sunday Igboho calling for Oduduwa Republic, I just told myself that this one knows nothing.

Then, the Niger Delta states are the biggest losers. They feed the entire country and get nothing in return. If the resources of oil producing regions are left for them alone, they will be as rich as Qatar if properly managed. Oil-producing states are the reason Nigeria cannot be restructured because the fear is that they will be more powerful than the centre and that may lead to secession.

As for the South East, what the region has experienced is mostly being cut off from the centre and absence of federal presence. However, the region has also benefited from petrodollars. Although South East states have oil deposit, not as much as SS states. So, technically, the SE benefits from free money. To survive, Igbos are turning to education, sports, business/trades and travels. As for travel for greener pastures, that's why there's hardly anywhere you don't see an Igbo man.

"...the region has benefitted from petrodollars." The region makes it contribution to the federation account from their own oil resources, do not forget.

"..the SE benefits from free money..". Who gives the free money please? One of the reasons the SE will not be allowed to go, is the gas reserves, where you find the largest quantity in the federation. Gas holds the future. The north tries to control the natural resources. Where is the free money? If there was free money anywhere, why would the rest hold onto a section that has nothing to contribute to the center?

Igbos are not turning to sports, etc as podited by you. The entire South hold on to education and sports.

Please get to the SE physically before drawing your conclusion.

"Go and learn politics..".

Oga politician, how has becoming a professional politician made your nation better please? Can you explain?

Nine years after Jonathan left, how have you gone from substandard to standard goods?

I wonder why still keep uncouth people on this forum. Weed off everyone causing nuisance here.I wonder why still keep uncouth people on this forum. Weed off everyone causing nuisance here....

Where's Wole Soyinka?? I refused to believe that such a learned man is a tribalist, it beats my imagination

It didn't beat your imagination that a learned Chinua Achebe lived all his life as a tribalist.
Why do you Igbos think every Nigerian must act according to your caprice? Because Soyinka cautions you people's recklessness, he is now a tribalist!
Go ask your parents how he, Soyinka put his life in danger when he defended Biafra during the civil war; yet uncouth generation of Igbos today termed him as tribalist for his cautioning them for being reckless in their actions and words.

Scratch faces are cancer and deserve not living

Wetin him talk? Baba is 89 years old so even if he says stuff that we don't agree with, we should just leave him alone. Let him prepare for his journey to meet his maker.

And how do you know that Achebe was a tribalist? Just because he loved his culture and language very deeply, doesn't make him a tribalist.

U're stupid as hell. Who else is more tribalistic in this country if not the useless area u emanate from( East).

When people start giving back with similar energy u're quick to call them tribalistic as if u're not even the worse compared.

Once Peter Obi was declared winner in Lagos ur stupid igbo folks gone haywire flooding all social media rewriting our history about how igbo forefathers discover Lagos and how it didn't belong to Yoruba or Awori but ur foolish self.

But soon the rest of yoruba sons and daughters who voted against their own in ur favor realized their mistake having hijacked their collective efforts for what they had thought was a shift from old the order but little did they know that igbo people aren't they type to align or draw an agreement with else one lose out completely.

You better go and die when u finally hug transfer at ur neighborhood.

But when they voted for an Obasanjo against an Ojukwu in 2003 guess they were not tribalistic then?

When Buhari in 2003 till 2011 was choosing someone from the SE,still they didn't vote for a Buhari with a SE as VP guess they were not tribalistic then?

Achebe is indeed not a tribalist. Just like Prof. Soludo too.

“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.[color=#990000][/color]”

CHINUA ACHEBE, in his book, 'There was a country'.

Nobody could have said it better than an Igbo man.

Ozommadu lol

Then why not resign and allow others that can fix the country to do so.

Very Ungrateful lot
Soyinka spent over 2 years in Prison for their sake

What makes me a fuul and a hypocrite? Do you know the meaning of those words you typed?

Seun has left people like you to proliferate and cause issues for him on this forum. If I was Seun I will delete your existence here for breaking Nairaland rules.

I don't blame you, in reality you can look me in the eyes and say that to me? Oh cowards hide under Nairaland to abuse others.

Bigots are everywhere, Seun you need to start weeding them out of here, the sooner the better.

thorpido:

Don't mind the guy. He's simply following in the footsteps of their bigot Achebe's caustic remark on Wole Soyinka. Achebe couldn't hide his pain when Professor Wole Soyinka won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Achebe - in his vitriolic mischief, bigotry and deep-seated animosity against anything connected to the Yorùbá - more or less sulked by stating that "a European prize does not make anyone the Asiwaju (Yorùbá word for leader) of Nigerian literature"

Nigeria is not fixable or you guys just realized fixing it means no stealing?

D

So resign and allow someone who is capable.

Useless report.

Which one is "sole labour party Senator"?

Is that so? Is he a bigot then?


Why is he selectively blind to the mal administration of ebola government

He has to carry gun to start shooting at Aso rock to prove a point to frustrated losers like you

What is even the nexus between the topic and your miserable comment

With the frivolous spendings like the GOP, VP house, bullet proof SUVs, etc - NO.

With prudent spending and savings, local production and advanced management skills - MAYBE YES.
