No need 'reversing'.
You've started d 'Biafra journey', so leave Nigeria out of ur woes.
Tell ur reps in NASS to move a motion for referendum and stop ds daily bushbaby-like wailings, bikonu!

A sane driver doesn't move (a car) forward and reverse at d same time, or does he?

Stop trying to shift goal post. You claim the igbos have not built bridges. Which bridge have you built with the igbos?

kayfra:
Stop begging for appreciation

Fix Igbo poverty first and you'll be appreciated when your people are no longer poor and when you all go back to Mud Republic

Lol. Nigeria is the only country where a tribe that buys land and build houses everywhere are regarded as poor. Then the ones that do not have properties are rich. Funny country ohh

Igbos building bridges? The Fulani herdsmen have been killing people all across Nigeria. It did not prevent a Fulani man winning the presidency twice in the last 5 years. Fulani didn't build any bridges, they shot it all down with AK47! They still got the presidency


And someone is telling Igbos to build bridges? How laughable

Don't mind them. They should show us the bridge they built when they were being voted.

First of all let me make it clear to nairalanders that I personally do not give a hoot about igbo presidency. It will not change the south east, igbos, or Nigeria in general, and I believe many igbos feel this way. So I think presidency will just be like an add up to the numerous achievement of the igbos.

I stopped reading when I read that.

If you don't care, why the term paper then?

BigTableShaker:
Fuckers....

When will flati get sense?!

In their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.

Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.

There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.

Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.

I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.

As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.

As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.

In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.

Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.

The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner. After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.

The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest.

Just look at how you wrote a long epistle of rubbish . Show me the bridge that you built ohhh!

Read the topic.

Read the topic.

Igbo presidency shouldn't concern you since you are for biafra, right?

So there's no need to write about Igbo presidency or building bridges or not.

Instead you should write on how you've refused all this while to build bridges with a potential ally in the West to get your Biafra.

Seems the organizers of IPOB are starting to realize this, hence their putting a full stop to Yoruba cursing.

Igbo presidency does not concern me at all. I am only concerned about the accusation that we don't build bridges which is a big fat lie. No tribe in this country have ever build the bridges you talk about like the igbos do. I have been hearing of this bridges since the present administration came on board. This is actually the biggest lie I have ever heard. Which bridge did the north and South west build when they were contesting for presidency. Did the igbos ask for bridges then? Hypocrites

Muna4real:

It just so happens that Nigeria is also the land of deep delusions where the poorest in the south think they are developing everywhere but their homeland.

Interesting country

Muna4real:
Is that the answer to my question? Which egg did you see and which basket are you talking about?

Twice Buhari picked persons of Igbo extraction to deputise him, yet the Igbo did not only reject him each time but attempted to tag him Igbo hater. Every time Igbos are questions why they hate APC, their reply is always that they hate Buhari but not APC per say. They would claim northerners are their friends but not Buhari. The same Buhari northerners hold with extreme respect.
After 2015 elections which brought Buhari to power after pitching tent with the Yoruba, the Igbo hatred against him increased exponentially just because he spoke the truth in an interview that only 5% of south east voted for him. They have never relented in refering to him an Islamist to get at him.
Today the party they have unsuccessfully called an Islamist party, is the party they want it to give them it platform and ticket for the 2023 presidential election. Worst of all, the Igbos think intimidation, blackmailing, slender, name calling and threat will do it for them.

Muna4real. Don't mind them they want us to build slave bridges , they have not shown us the bridges that obj yar adua and jonathan or even atiku built that made igbo vote them the only crime is that igbo's refused to vote buhari cos of his past records. The records that has justified our stand they are only too ashamed to admit it

Muna4real:
For days now, the internet have been carrying news of the interview carried out on a top Nigerian northern politician, Isa funtua where he made a statement concerning igbo presidency, stating that the igbos do not build bridges, and so cannot get the presidency. That is where I am focusing on today. Unfortunately, so many nigerians have supported this statement and have been bashing the igbos, saying that they do not build the imaginary bridges.

First of all let me make it clear to nairalanders that I personally do not give a hoot about igbo presidency. It will not change the south east, igbos, or Nigeria in general, and I believe many igbos feel this way. So I think presidency will just be like an add up to the numerous achievement of the igbos.

So taking about bridges, what do they mean? Does building bridges mean that a whole full region should vote for a particular party out the above 75 political parties in Nigeria ? Or does building bridges mean that you have to vote for a particular individual? I don't really get.

Oya let us analyse this thing. Let me ask nigerians. Is there any region in Nigeria that can measure up to the igbos in terms of building bridges? The igbos do their business everywhere because they "believe " that they are in a country of equal rights. There is no in Nigeria that has ever sacrificed alot for the country like the igbos . They build everywhere, trade everywhere and can own properties everywhere. Can any region in Nigeria boast of the same? What bridges are you even talking about? As it stands now, the south east is the only region in Nigeria that have voted for every region in Nigeria . Can other regions boast of the same?

Sadly, the igbos are the only people that carry the spirit of one Nigeria without being appreciated. Nigerians should see their fault, and make amends.

Let me stop with this question. Which bridge or flyover or whatever have any region built with the igbos? Why must it be about igbos building bridges? Why can't other regions build too?

u are a confusionist n u really don't understand yourself

*Igbos do business majorly outside their region because other regions are economically endowed n accommodating unlike Igbos that they themselves run from their region n are not accommodating even to themselves.....no b this same nairaland we read of a particular state in d east not allowing a Catholic priest to lead cos he's not from their state,abi no b for here we read of how Abia State sack non indigene workers......an hostile setting like that can't attract outsiders

*the same Igbos that have been threatening to burn Nigeria down at every given opportunity n the same Igbos that label their fellow countrymen animals n their country zoo is d same Igbos that u believe they carry one Nigeria for head


I just believe u are trying to b clever by half,u build bridges by forming alliance with people,stop d insults n work with people.

Understand d difference between ally forming, servitude n ass licking.....what u call ass licking is what some call ally forming

mrvitalis:
U act as if it's simple ...an Igbo senator showing support for Biafra was treatned with arrest

Referendum is the right of the people and with enough pressure UN would ask Nigeria to conduct one ...relax

if u believe UN will do Nada then u are living in fools paradise.

Igbos do business both outside and inside their region. And please stop flattering yourselfs with this idea that so many igbos are not in their land because not economically endowed. Igbos are every where in this world. How many times do we need to stress this out for you guys to understand. Igbos are in the villages, in the towns, in the cities. You can find igbos in the most remote village in the world doing business. That's why we are called travellers. If igbos are only in developed places, why do you think that they are still in the north east? Does that place look developed?

There is a difference between burning down Nigeria and asking for your country. We all know the people that burn down the country but unfortunately, they are not asked to provide bridges before they are voted.

There is no alliance that we have not formed. We have voted virtually every region in the country without even asking for a bridge. The question is, which bridge have you formed with the igbos?

mrvitalis:

A senator? If all their lawmakers stand on Biafra will the government start attacking all of them. Won't that bring more attention to their cause? So, you guys should direct your effort at them joining hands to push for that and stop all the aimless noise.

Muna4real:
Lol. You also should accept the fact that every tribe can't be like yours. Life does not begin and end in your fathers house.

Oh please spare me that nonsense. Igbos have also been called names and rejected since 1970. If I start listening the names that igbos have been called, it will fill a page here.

And neither is the definition of building bridges, killing people and chasing them out of their fathers land. Neither is building bridges the act of threatening to throw the igbos into a lagoon if they don't vote for a particular individual. Neither is building bridges the act of excluding them from ministerial appointments and telling them to their faces that they deserve it because they didn't vote for your party. Take note of that.

irrespective of whatever u put up there,u ain't getting presidency or Biafra...take that to d bank n leave me alone

No you leave us alone, be independent for once in your life.

"Build a bridge" is just a useless word coined by the South wasterners to make themselves feel good,every time build bridge build bridge,where is the cement and Iron Rods?

And the sad thing is that some Dumb Igbos are regurgitating this same nonsense all over facebook
I guess their defination of building bridges is by kissing Tinubu ass or surrendering to him,or for us to start worshipping the caliphate like them
I once asked a Yoruba why an Igbo man can't be president,the fool started boring me with how Nnamdi kanu is the problem,what about the 90s where there was no Nnamdi kanu,he couldn't answer me

build a bridge kee una there
