Total hogwash. This is why I wish they can grant you Biafra today. I can bet my financial worth you will beg to join Nigeria with two years. You guys are disunited and never able to apeak with one voice.

You are each others worst enemies and are only united when hating others. Once that unity in hate is taken away when you gain Biafra, you will be at each others throat and your so-called worth to Nigeria will quickly be replaced by others since nature abhors a vacuum.

You don't have the sincerity of character, integrity or sense of purpose to survive and thrive as a Nation. You need others to modulate your character and refine it. Left to your own device , in your own space called Biafra, you will have the most crime-infested nation in the world and be exposed as a people with an overestimated sense of their own talent and worth.

Absolutely true

ejimatic:
. Nigeria belongs to all of us despite our tribe.When will Igbo rule in Nigeria?Are they not entitled to it? Surprisingly I don't see them ready for it. They usually take one step forward and twenty steps backwards.

They are ready It is up to nigeria to allow them by issuing them ticket of the major parties.

It is immaterial their voting pattern.

what is this one saying? ?


Look!

Officers plotted the coup, not igbo as an ethnic group


If anyone should have been killed
it should have been the officers.

but killing so many innocent people who died for nothing is NOT JUSTIFIABLE in any way.

It is people like you who think those who were killed deserve to die that is the problem of this country

we should have done a "reconciliation" a long long time ago.

like was done in Rwanda

but evil minded people full the country

And many are happy wity the status quo

Was that the lie you were told?

If the officers who planned the coup weren't tribalistic in nature how come they killed federal ministers and top politicians from every other tribe except Igbo.

They murdered Akintola in the west, Okotie Eboh in the South, Tarawa Balewa in the North and even killed the spiritual head, the Sardauna and dragged his body on the bare ground in the full glare of his people.

The Igbos in the North were foolishly rejoicing out in the open.

And that was what led to the pogrom in the North that saw a lot of Igbo killed.

I guess you didn't hear that version.

Among the problems with the Igbos are (i) they don't see themselves as Nigerians and hence do not have the interest of Nigeria at heart and yet they want all the benefits that no group has denied them of; (2) they suffer from inferiority complex and believe that other tribes owed them something; (3) they are very tribalistic when dealing with other tribes because other tribes allowed and embraced them to settle and have a living among them and yet other tribes were not as openly welcomed in their own region; (4) lack of trust and cohesion among themselves and (5) the thirst and hunger for get rich quick hence you find them majority involved in those get rich quick schemes.

Oshigun:


Yorubas don't need your vote or support. We are aware of your hate for us as other too know you hate them and don't mean Nigeria well. The youths of the North you term parasitic and unable to survive without the centre are now showing they want you out.

If not giving you quit notice they are writing Osinbajo to let you have your Biafra so you can leave. Younger generation of Yoruba who now know what you are about will happily endorse your move to Biafra if the old boys will sanction it.

All in all you lot do not enjoy any goodwill from the younger generation of many Nigerian ethnic group so you need to be very careful. We are more intolerant, than our fathers, to your noise and claim we don't want to let you leave. Blame the old lot. If my generation get ti power and all the old and still influential 'one Nigeria' boys like OBJ, IBB, Danjuma et al are gone then you will get your Biafra like tomorrow.

We do not hate Yoruba but the way you sabotage almost everything we do for our own progress is why you will get the hate back in full size. I have never seen an Igbo hating tribe like the yorubas, even the Hausas that normally have issues with Igbos from time to time do not hate Igbos as much as the Yorubas do.

Yes you do not need our votes and you are not getting them. Likewise us we do not need your votes and we are not having them. ***In summary ***

Ndi abload.

Trash.

Since democracy started in Nigeria in 1999, how many Igbos have been made commissioner by the Lagos state govt, a Yoruba governed state, and how many Yorubas or Northerners have been made commissioners in Igbo states?

Dey dia dey yarn okpas.

I guess you are too young to know even the history of your mother's village. In 1954, Zik appointed Yoruba man as the secretory to regional government. Even a Fulani man became the first mayor of Enugu. If an Igbo man is appointed commissioner in Lagos State, it was quite deserving because Ndigbo had a great population in Lagos State. Yoruba in entire Igbo land are numerically nothing.

Uhmm grandpa, read my comment again and look at the time frame I referred to. Thank you.

Excluding the south south can somebody please tell me with fact the contribution of south east to the economic well being of this country called Nigeria. Because I still can't get clear what they (Igbo's) put at the table of Nigeria yet they claim to be marginalize and superior to others.

They allow them success and access to the other regions without impediment but you can't get such hospitality accorded them in northern, western and southern part of the country. Never friendly to outsiders doing well in their place. I bet you, you won't go back to your place a living being.

If the Igbo's know their place is conducive for progress on a personal note, why move to develop other man's land.

They said, north is filled with hatred for them. Hence the killing of their brothers, why not leave but NO they can't go back to east because no greener pasture at home.

They said, west is jealous of them because they are smarter than the Yoruba's yet they are still developing the west as they claim but believe me they are proud to remain in the west because they free to own whatever without fear of deprivation.


Well in the south, it is understandable they are our brothers no dislike or hatred with passion.

They claim to be doing Nigeria a favour which Nigerians are not appreciating but if they are sincere with themselves they know that Nigeria is doing a favour.

Do you now agree that the south south are Igbos?

Because the last time I checked, 99% of those who led the coup were from the Midwest (south south) and West. Whereas, most of the military officers who foiled the coup AND PREVENTED IT FROM SUCCEEDING were from the East (south east).

So what are you saying? Or do you agree to the Igboness of the south south when it affords you the chance to demonize the Igbo's falsely?

His marriage alone to almost every tribe in Nigeria proved how non lopsided his government will be. The Bible says by their fruits we shall know them. Atiku has produced good fruits from family to business.

Like I said, if at all people should be killed, it's the officers AND the elite involved

no problem with that

But the many many innocents that were killed were unjustifiable

And until Nigeria atones for the blood of all those innocent people that died

Nigeria will know no peace.

And will continue to be confused as it is now..

today every region is getting their own dose of killing and bloodshed

That is because you want to dominate every tribe in Nigeria. Meanwhile you never allow other tribes to acquire land in the SE talkless of building properties. The northerners that do petty business in your state you pushed them out to Niger Delta because of your hatred for northerners. During your tenure as the governor you targeted only the northerners. The Sultan talk to you you refused to listen. The then Minister of Finance Shamsuddeen Usman spoke to you and you made Jonathan to sack him. Kwankwaso had to meet with you and threatened you that unless you stop your discrimination against the northerners he as governor of Kano state would chase all igbos out of Kano state and he told you that the number of Igbos in Kano state alone is more than all the northerners in SE. It was only then you gave some respite to the northerners.

Atiku has made a big mistake. He will lose this election because of you - a tribal bigot.

PresidoAtikuGcf:


Atiku is an educated Fulani man Buhari is not. Atiku is a detribalised man Buhari is not. Atiku is a successful business man Buhari is not. Atiku will confine the Fulani to the North and provide ranches for them and steady water and food for their cattle so they don't have to move, is is not plausible?

It is not plausible because that is not the solution he provided and nobody can legally confine anybody.

He will still have to collect peoples land and force nigeria to bear the cost of feeding and caring for the cows, it isnt different from buhari's plan.

Atiku isnt that educated, and the most educated president we've had was jona and he was daft (no offence). Atiku with his polygamy and numerous children seems to follow sharia better than buhari. How did he become rich? he was in customs and was runing a port related company, conflict of interest, then he went into politics and stole mercilessly.
He is not better. He is going for his pocket again.

zoedew:

See your mouth. Justify two wrongs. Na now you Wan speak english. You have been living in a bigot system all your life. The igbos are the 3rd largest enthic group that are yet to produce a president. At the time the north have held that position for periods stretching 46yr plus.

If you are honest igbos are not bigot. They have been miginalise and oppress in there own country.

There are over a 50 different ethnic groups in Nigeria

3 major ones.

And you aren't even the biggest in terms of population. Yet it's always you guys. You are the problem child of Nigeria.

Always screaming marginalization. Yet you ask them to point to an instance of marginalization, they start rambling.

In one breath they tell you they are the best ethnic group in the world, the most beautiful, the most intelligent, the smartest, yet with the same breath they scream that they are being enslaved in Nigeria and they want freedom.


The same people who tell you that they are developing Lagos, Bangkok, Johannesburg, New York, Malaysia etc will turn around and tell you they are being marginalized in Nigeria.


They beat their chests online and at the same time cry and weep and wail for freedom.


They tell Nigerians that they will burn down the zoo with the tanks they designed themselves and the local bomb "ogbunigwe" that they created themselves, then they make an about turn and tell you that Mr Chukwuka Putin from Russia, Donald Okechukwu Trump from US and Theresa Adaobi May from the UK will come and rescue them.

Pa Chukwudi, it isn't for me to decide for anybody who they want to be. I've just narrated what I know to be history. I'm sure Itshekiris, Ijaws, Urhobos and other great tribes in the South can speak for themselves.

".... I can't fathom the hatred between The South East and South West especially in this forum "


This is the reason you should make a proper research with unbiased mind to find out yourself that the Yorubas are serial betrayers and treacherous human beings since time immemorial and the IGBOS are more open minded, believes in equal justice for all and equal opportunities. Try to read pre "civil war" accounts and life of the Yorubas then you will understand...


On the topic, those calling Peter Obi a bigot are just being mischievous and untruthful. What Obi said was the simple truth, it is on the IGBO man that sees Nigeria as home for all irrespective of your tribe or religion hence, he builds, establishes and help to develop any part of the country he finds himself. But, can the Yoruba who are more bigot do same in any part of Igboland? Can the Hausa man build even a hut in any part of Igboland talkless of building mansion ? The only thing the Hausa man can build in Igboland is their Godforsaken mosques in other to spread that disease and terro-laden occultic group called Islam. So in simple words, IGBO man believes and have contributed more in making Nigeria a better place and home for all but unfortunately, they have been on the negative receiving side of Nigerian history.

PETER OBI SAID THE TRUTH.

Not that I give a crap, but can you give us just one instance when Yorubas were treacherous. Just one instance if you are sure of yourself.

Oh I think we both know exactly that you pray for that.

You guys have stated as much here on Nairaland that you'd like to see Yoruba people decimated and their land burnt just like Biafra was.

Don't be deceived by the date I opened this moniker. I been here awhile now.

What you guys don't know is that, while the Biafra war is Igbo first major war, Yorubas have been fighting major wars almost all their lives. The Yorubas are a nation of warriors. When you hear of names such as Bashorun Gaa, even you will bow.

So, wishing and hoping that war will break out in Yoruba land is no skin off our nose. You are forgetting that there are more of your kinsmen in Yoruba land than even back in Igbo land. Be careful what you wish for oga.

As for the blood of those who died during the civil war, there's no atonement that's going to happen.

Don't blame Nigerians for that.

You guys fired the first shot.

Ojukwu led you guys to the edge of a precipice and shoved you lots off the edge. Same thing KANU was about doing.

You started a war you didn't have the means to execute. You were expecting your enemies to feed you. How ridiculous.

Those who have died have died. RIP to them. We have moved past that stage. You guys should move on already.

I can't remember the last time people excluded Igbo when mentioning the major tribes in Nigeria. Seriously, can you prove any of these things? Where and when are Igbos unfairly treated when in the same light, Yorubas are fairly treated?

Pls read the aftermath of the civil war.

Truth be told, we the south- east are the people developing this country, anywhere an ibo man, he must invest all in that place, build mansion, have a big shop with millions of naira worth of goods, but other regions will never help develop your state. Hardly will you see a Northernal building a mansion in other part of naija except their place, they prefer sleeping in a small room. If the eastern were waiting for restructure, then naija would have been a Zoo

It's ordinarily because Ibo are the most selfish citizens in this country who wants everything for their selves but ain't willing to give others.... Una no dey accommodating as other tribes na

So tell us exactly what Chief Obafemi Awolowo did that makes you guys froth?

If you know the facts, spit them out here, I get your time this afternoon. Then I will prove to you the reason why you and other Igbos should actually worship Awolowo, the great sage as your saviour.

No body want to stay with a set of people that so self centered who are always thinking of people as less human than them.

Am only voting PDP because I know buhari is incompetent if not this video is enough to sway everyone based on what we know of most Igbo people

You have a right to vote Atiku but it is obvious that the Igbos are supporting Obinna because he is an igbo man and they hate Buhari. I am very sure that once Atiku wins, they will spite and mock Yorubas even to your own detriment and disdain. Let those supporting Atiku among them come out and discuss policies and how to move Nigeria forward without emotion then I will take them serious.
