But why are Igbos always excited whenever anything evil happens under this Buhari government? angry angry angry

Election is over, let's face Reality! angry They're soo quick to forget the Biafra massacre and we and the world all wept on their behalf. undecided

Can you just imagine how jubilant they all are below me? So sad, really sad indeed!
Why are your lot excited whenever you hear anyone with Igbo name engage in crime?

Inasmuch as I do not support any Igbo person rejoicing over evil, it is wrong and hypocritical of you to start pointing accusing fingers towards others in what you're equally as guilty as they are.

You guys are simply sore losers. You support Nigeria when you are in power and turn 180 degrees immediately you lose power.
The Aba riots and other examples you gave had nothing to do with amalgamation, they were social issues such as taxes and other perceived injustices. There are constant riots around the world daily, and they have nothing to do with secession.
The igbos allied with the British to impose a one Nigeria on us and then 6 years later screamed Biafra after they lost out in the power equation. The igbos imposed a unitary system on us and screamed Biafra immediately Ironsi was overthrowned. Same with the Jonathan presidency, immediately "the pillar of Jonathan's" administration lost out in the power play, Biafra became loud again. We have been expecting even louder screams of Biafra after their candidate lost the last general elections.
You guys need to learn how to play the game of thrones not attempt to change the rules each time you lost out.

No you need to grow up and be matured in reasoning. And that is the problem of the black man inability to think without prejudice. Ironsi was a military man and instituted a pure military formation and tactics which they employed to work for them. If you identify your problem, you can then have a solution. Its not about tribe is about a people. If India had lots of sectarian crisis after independence from the British that they called a truce, identified their differences and 3 separate nations were born from one almagamated entity- India;Pakistan & Bangladesh. Let me ask you this, if these countries were still one today would India have made any Giant strides in medicine and other works of life. Pakistan is 98% Muslim, India is 90% Hindu and Bangladesh is what it is. Their separation has led to growth of the independent countries that Pakistan now supplies Nigeria weapons and aircraft. The lie that the north or south-west will not survive because of Niger-Delta oil is peddled by evil people who don't want their peoples progress and emancipation. And if you cannot see beyond this then I am simply sorry for you. Ask yourself this, how come Nigerians dominate and do better abroad than at home? How come Nigeria being the 8th largest producer of crude oil is still the poverty capital of the world overtaking India (remember my case study? 0.07% of Indians were poor = 85m=50% of naija population). The present system is not working and will not work and no sane human being should support it. The elite know that if Nigeria disintegrates or operates true federalism, they will be seriously accountable to the people. Stuffs like corruption, electoral rigging and insecurity will be reduced to the nearest minimum. Wise up and be unplugged. Besides how many times have a Yoruba man been president of Nigeria? 3 times with the same person(OBJ). Twice have the Yoruba won free and fair election but they have been denied and the winners killed. Awolowo won the election that brought in shagari, Abiola won the June 12 election. What you have now are mediocre Yoruba leaders that are nothing but slaves to their pockets and "you-know-who"

As a business inclined people, the Igbo's know that the Nigerian union by the British was nothing but business transaction built on fraud. The Nigerian system has never worked and might never because the British didn't merge the country together because they thought it would be best for us, but because it would be best for them. There have been riots since the almagamation of Nigeria. From 1923 aba women's riot, to 1940s,50s sectarian violence to 1960 civil war just almost immediately after independence. We shouldn't hate the Igbo's we should thank them because the Nigerian project has never worked and they are not afraid to say so. Let us take a look at a British colony now doing well -INDIA. DO you know that after the death of Mohammed ghandi, India had to split into 3 nations for there to be peace. Pakistan & Bangladesh were once united as India. In fact enuff said
LONG LIVE NIGERIA.

You guys are so ignorant and your bitterness and anger at Buhari is affecting you reasoning.
Which territory is Boko Haram holding? Under the last administration, Boko Haram was at one time hiding 14 local governments, the size of Belgium. That time the commander in chief or any of his generals were afraid to step near Sambisa Forest.
What Boko Haram does is hit and run, they come in from chad or niger and attack towns and villages near the border, and then run back to where they come from, they don't attempt to hold territory.
Due to our depleted military strength and limited arms and ammunition, our soldiers cannot be placed in defensive formations around the whole northern border states. The strategy adopted by Buhari is to wait for an attack, and then ambush them when they attempt to retreat or encircle and isolate them before taking them out.
Keep on being deceived, can you state in all honesty that the government of the day has done enough of what is expected of it in combating insurgency?

Remember that security was a major cardinal agenda of buhari's administration and in it was encapsulated the promise of wiping insurgency out of the north east, how much have been done in that regard within the last four years? Has the security of Nigerians improved under this government, are we to talk of other security challenges that have been on the increase over the years?

Fact remains that buhari has not been sincerely in his approach of tackling security challenges in Nigeria and instead of presenting the the ugly situation as it is to Nigerians the government decided to tow the path of deception and unfounded propaganda,
Serious government don't run its affairs on propaganda and falsehood.

Fulani herdsmen menace has tripled under this government, boko haram insurgency has claimed more lifes and properties under this administration than it did in the previous administrations, are we to talk of armed banditry in the north west, you wouldn't die if you say the truth and condemn evil, have it at the back of your mind that evil always attract evil and once you harbor one, many will be flooding your path. Let me stop here.

Yes, the government could do more to combat insurgency, but it is doing relatively fair under very difficult conditions. Boko Haram insurgency was far worse some 5 or 6 years ago, with Boko Haram holding 14 LGAs, carrying attacks right at the heart of Abuja a few meters from Aso Rock and Shekau making videos regularly. Now Boko Haram is restricted to Hit and run raids on border towns and villages.
The issue of insurgency in nigeria is a highly complex issue, it's got internal political, corruption, international and socio economic components. Insurgency under normal circumstances is very difficult to deal with, ie, Afghanistan, Kenya, Iraq, Syria, it is even more difficult in a borderless, corruption ridden country like Nigeria.
Our military has been decimated by the political class who are afraid of coups. The exact number of Nigerian troops is said to be less than 60,000 (from about almost 100,000 before 1999. The military had not been supplied with new modern equipments (despite tens of billions of dollars allocated to defense since 1999). Then there is the issue of corruption within the high military command. All former generals are billionaires in dollars. To solve the Boko Haram crisis would require a comprehensive plan by the political and military elite.

It is you guys that are unity beggars than the Afonjas. It was you guys that shouted one nigeria before independence. It was you guys that unified the country. It is you guys that is scattered all over Nigeria. You guys can be found in any hamlet in damaturu. It is you guys that depends on Niger Delta oil to run your states.

If you guys know you are not unity bigger, petition your lawmakers both at the state assembly and national assembly to raise the issue of secession on the floor of the house or senate. Even if it is rejected, at least we will know that is the wish of your people. You do not expect the Afonjas or the Fulanis to do your fights for you.
A few jobless miscreants blocking the streets do not signify the wishes of the general Igbo citizens.

Lamentations and cries from a deformed unity-beggar and enforcer..Attache by force with no shame at its peak

Keep changing the narratives to suit your low self-esteem,morbid fear of having your own country as well as a healthy dose of cowardice as much as you like..We know your ways.

Ofcourse you will call those who actually stormed the streets to do something about it "jobless miscreants" to register your displeasure at the thought of having odua country,afterall we all know what Senator Abaribe went through in the hands of Awusa security and cheered on by every single afonja dead or alive for daring to be one of the shortees of Nnamdi Kanu

Yeye.

Evil shall not be far from the abode of those who wish it on others. Keep your doors shut, evil is nigh thee

Open your eyes and stop being sentimental. Evil is everywhere; even much closer to you. If you allow evil, it will happen.
Go and stand in middle of a highway and pray for accident not to happen. It is the same thing as re-electing a president who openly defended the herdsmen responsible for the killings.
