If igbos in PH join, then we are not landlocked
Hope you know that PH has a sea port and igbos own PH

Do you know that igbos are scattered in all other states just to reduce our strength and unity. Forming yeye yeye theories of how they are not igbos.
Imagine yorubas and hausas forming theories and explaining how a chukwuma, ngozi and uchenna in rivers state, delta state, edo state, kogi state, benue state, cross river and akwa ibom states are not igbos
They just scattered them into bits in those states to become minorities and to reduce the strength of the igbos
You people should just leave old south east alone. It is not our making that we are with the ijaw and urhobos. We did not make them our neighbors ourselves. It came naturally. Stop being jealous
oga those people mograted there.. they dont own the land.. dont you igbos have shame at all? Imagine a majority tribe begging minorities for unity.. undecided There are also yoruba in north central, delta, etc.. but you don't see us claiming we open the last d..
You igbos should ha a shame and stop attaching by force.. create a pure breed igbo only biafra (which will be landlocked) then we will take you serious..

Such a shitty post and to imagine how many people liked it.
Is it Nigerians and Yorubas who gave Americans the right environment?
Were our leaders not ordinary folks like us until we allowed them to be our temporary constituted authority?
Next time please think before you type.
Thank me later.

Wow..... From UI


They get trained here and flee Nigeria because of bad governance.

I am privileged to work in a health sector of the state, and I know how Doctors complain bitterly about the ill treatment Nigeria system is giving them, most of them usually tell me how they intend leaving the country should any slight opportunity surface.


Even nurses are not left behind, they recount number of friends that have left to UK, and are enjoying the profession there

Leaving Nigeria was the best decision I have ever taken.
Nigeria doesn't know the value of doctors..

To fix Nigeria, ban all Hausa Fulani's from leadership position for 30 years or better still, swap all allakuberians with those in Dubai.
The Yoruba's must leach out cogs like oga MURI and elegbe oloshi to be a force to reckon with.

Aside the Government helping our medical practitioners to grow and develop well with the needed funds and provisions of facilities and making the environment conducive for them to operate, why can't private organisations and our billionaires help to provide these necessary things?

I must be a multi-trillionaire, a government of myself, so that I can do what the Government of Nigeria are not doing.

brojoes5030:
A bright doctor from the West African country of Nigeria Babafemi Taiwo is leading part of a major study on antiviral drug Remdesivir appearing to treat COVID-19, the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 200,000 people around the world.

CNN interviewed Dr. Taiwo, whose name suggests he is a twin from the southwestern part of Nigeria, to discuss the promising results. Remdesivir, the antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences, appears to help coronavirus patients recover more quickly than no treatment at all, but it does not significantly reduce death, according to preliminary data from the National

“For the first time we have a large, well-conducted trial” showing a treatment helps, he said. “This is not a miracle drug … but it’s definitely better than anything we have.”

Fauci said the partial results showed that the drug had “a clear-cut significant positive effect,” shortening the time to hospital discharge by four days. By comparison, antiviral drugs for the flu shorten illness by about one day on average and only when started within a day or two of symptoms first appearing.

In the remdesivir study, about 8% of those on the drug died versus 11.6% of the comparison group, but the difference is not large enough for scientists to say the drug was the reason.

No information was given on side effects. Fauci said full results would be published in a medical journal soon. He said final numbers might change a bit but that the study’s overall conclusion would not.

Dr. BABAFEMI TAIWO PROFILE
Dr. Babafemi Taiwo is Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago. He is also Director, Clinical Core of the Third Coast Center for AIDS Research, and Leader of the Northwestern University Site of the NIAID-funded AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG). At Northwestern University, he leads clinical and translational HIV researchers from infectious diseases, hepatology, neurology, radiology, cardiology and nursing, and directs the development and implementation of NIH-sponsored interventional and observational HIV studies.

He has received research grants (to Northwestern) from industry sponsors for investigator-initiated studies. Dr. Taiwo is the Director, Research in Africa, NU Center for Global Health. He has been involved in HIV treatment, research, and training in Nigeria for two decades. His undergraduate education and initial medical training took place at the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan 1991.​ He is Principal Investigator of the NIH D43 Multidisciplinary NeuroAIDS Training and Research Program in Nigeria

According to your analogy, you mean that because yorubas in kwara edo and kogi migrated, they are no longer yorubas and the lands they are occupying no longer belongs to them... You see how foolish you sound?

So you mean that the land yoruba people are occupying in SW, yorubas just sprang out from the ground, they didn't migrate from some where abi.
OK, I forgot you people dropped from heaven to an empty uninhabited land in SW while other tribes migrated... Mtchew

Oga you know nothing, the first inhabitants of an empty land owns it. Or is there any tribe that created its own land?
I told you that my tribe is igbo and my tribe jointly owns PH. And PH is not landlocked. Other igbos like abia, Imo, anambra have oil too.
So your point about attachee by force does not hold water except you are saying that me an igbo from PH is attaching my self
Its not yoruba and hausa that will define who I am. I am proudly igbo and I am from rivers state and PH is owned by the great igbos and it is not landlocked

Please start with your betrayal against a sitting southern president - Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the overwhelming support to Olusegun Obasanjo by Eastern Nigeria.
See who is talking about betrayal, the Sam GEJ we voted for in 2011 and see how he paid us back, the thread below explains it all, many folks even celebrated Yoruba marginalization then yet they are now crying about marginalization today.

From the above mention, you should understand that the only Hausa leader that ever rule Nigeria is abdulsalami abubakar..
The fulani tribe rule Nigeria more than any other tribe...
but don't run away from your initial comments, cos you ain't talking about the north,
you're talking about the Hausa tribe
So am I the one that divided nigeria into WAZOBIA , the north is equals hausa
If hausa like let them be giving their slot to the fulanis... Na them Sabi, they are all one, that's why call them the Hausa /fulani hegemony. You people operate the same ideology
