lol,we know the true slave of nigeria now.yeebos,slave to hausa-fulani to the yoruba and now slave to the ijaws.yeebos, the only major ethnic group, that may not produced nigeria president.

ArodewilliamsT:


You are correct on the last statement. We have produced before, we will not produce a president in Zoogeria because it will cease to exist sooner. Your Children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, will only know Oduarewastan (with illorin as Capital) and Biafra which has existed for 5,000 years and will exist for another 20,000 years. #ThinkOduarewa

Gbigbonnew:
It is quite unfortunate that a person of Mr Junaidu as educated as he is could talk so unreasonable. Elder statemen don't talk like he did. Well he is not one anyway. I wonder how he will perform if called upon to lead Nigeria. He is a chronic tribalist who is never objective in his comments. So he should always be ignored. Thank you.

VirginFinder:


Actually, I feel for you ibos.

They are hounded in Nigeria, yet, they can't have their own country.

Blame Zik and Ironsi for it all, though, and leave Yorubas out of it.

ArodewilliamsT:


Here we don't do self-pity, [b]we march verbal violence with greater intellectual violence. [/b]Your pity will be much desired in Illorin. yorubaland is the only land without a clearcut majority muslim population but with an Islamic Emirate. The laughing stock of sub-saharan Africa.

pasol4real:

Who is dis one claiming to be igbo n yet questions our achievements in Nigeria. oh politics is now the measure for bin great n superior.
So the whites of south Africa ,dat controls the economy are far richer ,more sophisticated, more successful n what hav u shud feel inferior just because they do not hav political power?
Menh I dare say u are not igbo but a typical " ofenmanu"
No more no less.

laudate:
Aunty Susan, why are you taking panadol for this kind of headache? The Igbo people want their own country. It is called Biafra. Did anyone tell you, they are interested in Nigeria?? Haba! Don't turn back the clock for them, oh.

kingsolex:

U are very stupid can't u be a sensible igbo person for once in ur life must u always insult the yoruba, the speaker is Hausa deal with that idiot, u are lucky u have not met a tough yoruba like me on a neutral ground

AuntySusan:


[sub][/sub]I've tried to stay away from commenting on politics section but I don't think it's right not to lend my small voice to very sensitive issues

ArodewilliamsT:


Junaid is speaking the mind of EVERY FULANI, HAUSA AND YORUBA out there. Kanu speaks the mind of every Biafran man. The problem of fulani is that in their conquesti through west african countries from senegal to Zoogeria, everyone bowed and kowtowed to them, Fons, Hausas, yorubas but only one group have historically been their source of pain THE IGBOS in their attempt to dominate west Africa. Out of the 3 majorities in Zoogeria( Hausa,yoruba, Igbo) only one( Igbo) only one does not have an Emir. The other 2 are ever-ready slaves to be used and manipulated by fulani-installed Emirs to further fulani Islamic agenda. Igbos don't make good slaves according to Ahmadu Bello in his youtube video. That why i pity Biafrans who still attend yoruba churches.

The yoruba Muslims hate you when their Islamic leaders and Emir brainwashes them, their Christians will do anything to see your land annihilated. Why do still pay them money in their churches through tithes for hating you every sunday. Why? Why? Why?

cccxxiii:
Well the fact is PMB owes every Nigerian

Ask me what he owes us?

By virtue of his office as President,
1. He owes every Nigerian Good governance
2. Fulfilment of his electoral promises.
3. Entrenchment of the democratic ideals
4. Protection from foreign or local insurgents
5. Having the Interest of Nigerians at heart in every policy.

Either Igbo or not, government's touch must be felt in every nook and corner of the Nigerian state.

This is my humble submission.

RitzyPrince:
What's With This Igbo's?? Its Not As If They're That Important To The Country, Sometimes I Wish They're Given The Autonomy They're Wishing..... I Don't See No Meaningful Contribution They're contributing to the Growth Of The Country.....Am A Niger Deltan But Am Tired Of This Biafra's_What Do They Fhink They've That Can Sustain Them (Igbo's) As A Country? They (Igbo's) Want To Take Us Back To JULY 6 1967 And am not going.

Ijaya123:
I honestly think issue with the SE is crying more than the bereaved. Since GEJ lost out in the election, they have been highly critical of PMB and they don't see any good in him.

Now they are shouting Biafra. I wonder where they have been in the last 6 years. Or is GEJ from the SÉ?

In addition, I will like the promoters of Biafra who have been sleeping throughout the tenure of GEJ, to show me in particular, what GEJ did for their cause.

The funny part is they now even try including SS in their Biafra postulation. The new NNPC GMD is from Ibo speaking part of Delta(SS) but the Biafra proponents have rejected him that he is not from the SE.

Sounds to me like a bunch of confused fellow.

PMB should ignore this distraction and continue his good work. Nigerians are solidly behind him. Even people of the SS where GEJ hails from have moved on and are now solidly behind this govt. is this not a case of crying more than the bereaved?

Could you please read my statement again for comprehension sake??

Carlmax:
I sometimes wish I was born an Igbo, Biafra is not an idea that should be left to die.

"Tough Yoruba" is an oximoron - a contradictory phrase that does not exist.

Even though Junaid was somewhat brash, all he spoke is the truth.

It is important Ibos are constantly reminded the that they have been undermining our nationhood since independence, and will only be taken seriously once they shun their empty arrogance, irritating self-centeredness, and baseless sense of entitlement in the interest of unity, and fully join hands in our national development.

While regions that produce the bulk of crude oil and agriculture which are the mainstay of our economy unite and stay calm, those that migrate and trade, earning a living from their hosts keep fostering hatred, division and enmity. What other results do they expect?

Nigeria owes Ibos nothing.

You think everybody is a coward like the Yoruba?

OrangeDream:
Personally as a Nigerian, i will urge Buhari to draw the Igbos even more closer than any tribe in Nigeria.. For the sake of National Unity.. I'm Yoruba man.. If i were to be the President, the igbos will even be my priority for now.. I will listen to them, talk to them & heal what bitters them.. My humble submission!!

While I agree that this is a very sensitive issue, it must be said that Igbo people are constantly shooting themselves in the foot. They do not tell themselves the truth. You seem reasonable enough, but most other Igbos don't.

I watched in amazement in the months leading up to the last elections, how Igbos openly showed and boasted about their 'mass' lack of support for Buhari. They are the only tribe in Nigeria that made so much noise and made it clear that their decision at the polls would be based purely on tribe. How many Yorubas or Hausas did you hear boasting or making threats? Wisdom should tell you that since there is a chance that Buhari might win, you should not burn bridges. You would notice that Hausas never openly opposed GEJ, even though we all know where their loyalties lay.

Unfortunately, most (not all) Igbos are not politically sophisticated. Political sophistication means ensuring that you do not create permanent enemies for yourselves, by being tactful and strategic in your political moves and utterances. e.g. how can you go to another man's land and claim that it's no man's land? That is the height of political stupidity, as such comments simply attract negative reactions and negative attention. I can't think of any other tribe in Nigeria that would be so unwise as to say such things.

There is a quote that says: In politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies , but there are permanent interests. Unfortunately, Igbos have created permanent enemies for themselves through their lack of diplomacy, and that is why things are the way they are.

oderaxgod:
my guy cool down this is just the simple truth. The igbos want everything their way, I have never heard of where a set of people committed treason and start to request for compensation, you are talking from the angle of sentiments and pettiness, in other countries we shouldn't even mention biafra that is treason.
