I just wonder why prominent Yoruba elder statemen are mostly quite about this sowore issue..

Those ones are ready to sell their people to Sokoto just to get crumbs from the caliphate. Everyone that is reasonable enough knows that Nigeria is hopeless, screwed, unfortunate and has no future. In fact, at the rate we are going, there is going to be serious crises of epic proportions in the coming years if the status quo remains yet some bas.tards are making it appear like it's only the Igbos that stand to benefit or are not happy with the country. My aim now is to save up and leave the sh!thole as soon as I can with my family before sh!t finally hits the fan. Cur.sed nation with hopeless people!!!

Shame on Obaino. To imagine that this drunkard once worked in the corporate world as a banker yet does not see the need to patronize a car marker that is producing in his own state!! Yet some idiats will be comparing this village champion to a great technocrat like Peter Obi. Smh!!

Igbosmoker:
Igbo people complain the most but what exactly do they contribute to Nigeria except drugs and disgracing Nigeria image abroad?.

I think we should grant them independence with their 5 tiny states so that their wailing will stop

Ignorance is not bliss

Afonjas are in trouble. Fulani herdsmen no go hear. I smell trouble

So by learning Igbo language means China is destroying Africa? What kind of logic is this?

Nigeria has entered second stage in its journey towards breakup. The world is finally coming to the realization that the country is in serious crises, with mass killings going on unabated.
The country as it is now is very weak and vulnerable to both internal and external attacks. Everything has continued on a free fall towards anarchy with state institutions in disarray while self help measures are gaining ground.

The third and last stage will be fatal but it will definitely herald the breakup of the country. The UN, EU etc will never allow a serious conflict to happen in Nigeria that will result in massive deaths and refugee crises without support a final balkanization to manageable countries.

Unknown to many, Nigeria is too weak to even question UN or other world powers should they demand for ceasefire and referendum in the face of any major crises that may arise.

It is no longer a question of if Nigeria will breakup, but when exactly or the form it will take place.

sogodihno:
Can u just keep ur useless laugh to ur miserable 5% erosion ravaged region, u said more than this concerning Gbajabiamila, yet we know wat happened, u guys dont learn. Fools don't learn anyway.

Look at one of them. That disgusting and slimy algae soup you guys eat in the waste side has really messed you guys up big time.

You are so phucked up and I won't give you further undeserved reply.

I laugh the south wasterners. These guys arrogate to themselves the tag of sophistry when in reality they are morons.
They have been used and dumped again...... What a shame..... SMH!

SLAP44:
10 man protest?

Mtcheeeeew

Honestly, the crowd of protesters shocked me

The truth is that Nigeria is living on borrowed time. It is no longer a question of if the country will break up but when it will happen. Nigeria can't survive for much longer going forward.

These nomadic bastards really take all Nigerians for fo.ols. Well, they can continue with their madness but they will soon be disgraced accordingly.

selemempe:
yes for now the west dont want war in nigeria for the reason u mentiones.
But here are the dynamics,
The current insecurity in nigeria is a precursor to a bigger battle ahead. How will it happen? The bandits the north is pampering now will grow out of control...guess where they will be heading? South and middle belt. Infact they are already here. And guess wat will happen soon? Southern state govs will start creating and arming 'forest guards'. Guess wat will happen? Soon the southern govs themselves will lose control of their own group too.

As all these are happening and nigerian military are running helter skelter, a political misstep will lead to mass protests which would spread easily all over the country. Thats when seperatism would be at an all time high. With cross trading of blames across regions.

Once the conflict starts, it doesnt even need to be us or eu that will support biafra or wateva else secessionists out there. It could just be lowkey countries like south africa and ghana...or even china

I give it to you bro, your analysis is top notch!! Everything you said is absolutely correct. Nigeria will will definitely implode in no distant time going by the indices. Anybody who is discerning enough can see that Nigeria is already dead as a nation. What we have now is a carcass the politicians are feeding on. Some will argue that Nigeria has always had it tough and survived, that Nigeria is the proverbial cat with nine lives but little did they know that all these crises we kept having from 1966 till date were all tearing at its fabrics now the tattered remains is about to fall off.

We Igbos should be preparing for life beyond Nigeria, the country is headed for the rocks!!

This is sad. Man's inhumanity to fellow man. These guys are forever cursed. It seems he even married a South African woman because the child looks very much like them.

Owerri is no doubt a lucrative city to be a landlord in Nigeria. The city has a high appreciation rate for properties and has remained highly sought after for people hoping to make good returns on investment.
Unknown to many, there are still cheap lands in Owerri, when I say cheap I mean lands that are below 1m on the suburbs of the city. These places I'm talking about are buy and build.

We have such lands in areas like Naze, Awaka, Egbu etc.

Land has remained a very good asset one can invest in, and @ Galaxy Properties we can always assist you by showcasing genuine available lands for sale all over Owerri.

Visit or call us today and be rest assured of investing in good locations that will appreciate very fast.

They mentioned Nigeria alright but technically they were actually referring to Biafrans

Good for them. Next please!

Printerscanner:
Harvard is right because Harvard trained world bank house-girl Ngozi Okojo-Iwealla ran Nigeria into recession. Therefore Harvard is a failed college

You epitomize Nigeria's failure. Read the nonsense you wrote relative to the topic being discussed and tell me if your education isn't as failed as Nigeria.

It is a shame that people have allowed all manner of madness to continue unabated in this unfortunate excuse of a country called Nigeria. Even Nigerians are so clueless that they neither support revolution nor balkanization.
I'm not being sentimental but Yorubas are largely to be blamed for what is happening to Nigeria and the calamity that has befallen all. I mean how would they reject revolution which Sowore is fighting for and still reject break up which Nnamdi Kanu is fighting for??

How are they enjoying the uselessness and worthlessness of this country?? Yet some folks are so stvpid that the only thing they are bothered about is how the north will hand over power to Tinubu!!

Nigeria is the worst thing that happened to not just its people but the entire Black race!!

If this useless country is run as it ought to be run. Most of these issues won't be happening. Nigerian youths are all over the world doing all sorts of legit and illegitimate toils just to survive but many of them would have stayed back if only this country is okay.

A so called president is there watching while its citizens are being hacked down in the most horrendous manner. Tell me which sane country will allow such nonsense??

Why has the re.tard.ed president not declared diplomatic war on SA? Why is the old mofo not sending flights or ships to bring our nationals home?
Why has he not expelled the SA ambassador while recalling ours??

Why has he not reported these guys to both AU and UN??

For how long will they continue to kill Nigerians while the old bastard keeps quite??

LegendHero:
You’re being emotional about all this and I’m not the cause of your agony. You keep shouting the Biafrans were brave and they invaded Ore successfully, you of all people came again to say to say Col. Banjo fighting on the Biafra side sabotaged the agenda and betrayed the biafran cause. You are a demented ungrateful souls and I’m happy Banjo met his demise in the hand of Ojukwu Caz he shouldn’t have tried to fight for ungrateful tribes like you.

After Ojukwu went on exile, the only tribe that visited him were the Yorubas, the Soyinka of that time and he spend a lot of time in prison coz of that act. But you ungrateful souls will rather fight the Yorubas rather than the Gambaris that slaughtered your ancestors.

You keep mentioning Biafran forces like a demented fellow who dosen’t even know what is called war. You suffered casualty of 3 million and more and you are here saying you fought or killed the federal troops. I don’t even understand the rubbish you are writing.

Chukwudi, I will ask you some question and please answer me and stop quoting books for me.

The main reason for the war is to achieve Biafra or not?

Nzeogwu killed other tribe leaders or not?
The Gambaris slaughtered Igbos in the north in retaliation or not?

Ojukwu foolishly called for Biafra war without adequate preparation and ammunitions or not?

Did Ojukwu planned for the feeding of the Biafra nation or not?

Do you expect your enemy to give you food in a war or not?

3million Biafrans are killed or not?

Did Nigerian side won or not?

Did Ojukwu ran away like a cursed female or not?

Did you later achieved the Biafra or not? NO, hence you and your ancestors failed. Stop quoting me and reading books to me coz I’m not in a primary school.

I don't know if you are saying all these trash based on mischief or ignorance. It's really sad that history is not taught in Nigerian schools but that alone is not an excuse for you to be in the dark about recent history, just browse online or go to the library/bookshops and get quality books about the war and read. I can recommend the ones written by Fredrick Forsythe, a foreigner who was around throughout the war years and took accounts of it as a journalist.

For your information, Nigeria lost by far more combatants than Biafra did. In fact, the most tragic battles had Nigeria suffering great losses in them, in terms of men and ammunition, and they include:

1. The Abagana ambush; the Biafrans successfully ambushed a full battalion of Nigerian soldiers complete with columns of armored cars, ferrets, and lots of military trucks carrying thousands of soldiers. The destruction was complete and well documented.

2. River Niger Crossing; Murtala Muhammed tried to invade Onitsha twice through the Niger and twice his battalion was completely destroyed. It was out of frustration that made him to enter Asaba and massacre hundreds of defenseless civilians.

There are other battles that can be called the Waterloo of the civil war where the Biafrans bested Nigeria but the above two were the most famous.

I hope you know that Biafra did not fight against Nigeria alone, rather it was a war against allied forces with diverse selfish interests that sided with Nigeria. Such countries in varying levels of involvement included;
1. Britain
2. Russia
3. Egypt
4. Cameroun
5. Niger

Nigeria had no air force at the start of the civil war, all the airmen available then were from the East and they all returned when the war broke out, so Nigeria had to invite the Egyptians who had gained some experience in the Yom Kippur war with Israel. It was Egyptian pilots that controlled Nigerian air force and aerial attacks against mostly Biafran towns and villages as well as providing air support whenever Nigerian soldiers faced defeat in the battle fronts.

Russia provided Nigeria with fighter jets and the most popular was Illusyin Bomber and it was the Egyptian pilots that flew it.

Britain provided Nigeria with lots of armored cars and ferrets as well as unlimited supply of machine guns and ammunition. Recent wikileaks revealed that the then prime minister of Britain had to send these supplies secretly because of its shear volume. Their argument was that Biafra needed to be vanquished as soon as possible and the only way to achieve that was to provide enormous supplies of arms.

President Ahidjo of Cameroon was promised the Bakassi peninsula in return by ensuring that Biafrans do not get arms supply from their end of the border. So, Cameroon ensured that the blockade was effective and complete which denied Biafra access to food, medical supplies and arms from abroad.

Niger also supported Nigeria with men and materials during the war. Also, the OAU even tactically supported Nigeria with the argument that if Nigeria was allowed to breakup, that it will lead to instability in Africa because other countries like Congo, Ethiopia, Sudan etc that were facing internal crises would be thrown into wars too.

Biafra only had support from a few countries such as Tanzania, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Haiti, and their support were mainly moral and nothing more.

It was the Biafrans shear determination, technological development and bravery that ensured the war lasted 3 years against all odds, in fact it was the blockade that made Biafra to lose the war because millions of children were dying from starvation and diseases.

When I look at the events of the civil war, I feel sad for what the Igbos passed through. It can only be compared with the Holocaust in magnitude. Even their brothers in the Niger Delta betrayed them and sabotaged their efforts even when the odds were stacked against them.

Now, everything Ojukwu fought for is what Southerners and now the middle belt are now crying over. It was fear that made Awolowo to back out even when he had always wanted Oduduwa republic for the Yorubas but he was a coward. If Awolowo was brave, he would have seized the opportunity of the Biafran war to declare Oduduwa republic and the North would have been too overwhelmed to continue or would have been roundly defeated considering that they didn't have it easy with a blockaded Biafra how much more when Biafra wasn't blockaded and they equally have the Yorubas and Binis to contend with. Even Britain would have given up because they would have realized it was a wild goose chase.

Awolowo's cowardice is what everyone is still suffering today.

They will procure solar, inverter, generator. Problem solved

God bless you. Granted that Nigeria is cursed with evil leaders, but I still don't understand why many people are still relying on a useless national grid for electricity. I use solar system both at home and in the office. I enjoy 24/7 electricity absolutely free!! How can one live in the equator where the sun shines non stop and still pay for electricity?? Even if Nigeria would start producing enough electricity to go round, I still will never connect to national grid again.
I also spend next to nothing on water and rent is relatively cheap too. I mean paying 350k for a three bedroom flat with 3 toilets/bathroom, all tiled and neat. However, Nigeria is still a nightmare in many other areas of life such as terrible roads, insecurity and lack of maintenance on public amenities.
So, in a nutshell, both sides of the divide has its pros and cons but while a few Nigerians can even afford to make this argument, a vast majority of others can't. Therefore, to each his own.

With each passing day, I become more and more convinced that this country is heading for serious catastrophe. No FDI coming in, population ballooning out of control, infrastructure decaying terribly, insecurity at same level with war torn countries. No single good news about the country. God knows I'm seriously considering selling off my assets and leaving this sh! thole for good. Nigeria will definitely face serious crises in the coming years and I pray to God not to be anywhere close to it by then.
Cursed nation of mad people!!!

TheDestroyer:
I don't expect anything reasonable from an ipob anyway so

Neither was I expecting anything sensible from a primitive agbero who is busy glorifying suffering.

TheDestroyer:
Lmao, one stupid oyinbo will just sit down somewhere and compile rubbish and some dumb Nigerians will believe. So pretoria in South Africa where people get robbed in broad day light or soweto is safer than lagos? Why the obsession with Nigeria though? Always wanting to attach everything negative to Nigeria

The joke is on you! Continue deceiving yourself while burying your head in sand when the whole world already knows that Lagos is the capital of all sh!tholes. FYI, they have yardsticks they used in coming up with the verdict. Lagos does not start at Banana Island and end at Victoria island. The whole stretch of the mainland is the worst catastrophe to befall man since the fall of Eden. I left Lagos myself when I looked at how miserable life is over there or am I oyibo too? Those that wake up at 4am and return home at 12 midnight are they oyibo?? Those that are kidnapped everyday in one chance are they oyibo? The woes are endless, leave Lagos as soon as you can if you want to enjoy your life!!

Imao, even the picture used lends credence to the report. Tell me which world class city that has such appalling scenery?

CompareDBest:
Stanbic IBTC, today: 13.7% (128 days), 13.65% (247 days), and 13.95% (191 days). Sorry for the delay.

Do you have info on other banks like gtbank or zenith??
Again, does it mean that stanbic IBTC does not offer 91 days tenor or anyone close to it?

Sonnyboom:
These lost Jews sha want to be a global menace to the world by fire by force. OP please list their names make USA ban only Potoland from Western Inion m visa O.

If only IQ is used as a yardstick to measure anyone's intelligence before being allowed to open account on nairaland, sane people would have been saved from the sort of nuisance and senselessness you and your ilks display here. EFCC arrested fraudsters in Owerri and your brain could not tell you that it will be dominated with people from there. Have EFCC not made similar raids in places like Ibadan, Akure etc? Where they not dominated by yorubas??

lilbest4:
try nonsense in Asia and get shot in the head. You think Asia is the same as Western countries where you get away with rubbish in the name of nonsense human rights?

My dear, Japan is the most civilized country in Asia. Their civil right record is on the same level with the Western World. The worst that would happen would be to codon off the area Buhari will be. I know Nigerian diplomats must have notified their Japanese counterparts of IPOB threat already because they know it is real.

I'm only concerned of the multiplier effect because once Buhari is disgraced in Japan his almajiris will be used to cause riots and Nigeria will go up in flames. Now, that is actually what IPOB wants

adekolaelect:
see your life ,se how ethnicity bigot take you to.

Remove the log in your own eyes before trying to speck in another's eyes. You are trying to accuse him over what you and your ilks are worse for.
The list he showed you, was it fabricated or real?? Does that list with 100% Yoruba people on death row in Saudi Arabia, arrested for drug crimes not factual??
Yet you and your fellow hypocrites are busy trying so had to label all Igbos as fraudulent for a crime committed by a few??

IntrovertedK:
is it that your brain is paining you? You think we omoluabis will have anything to do with disgracing our elders and leaders like some useless iredeemable touts? Don't you see the actions taken by our noble leaders when fulanis wouldn't let us rest few months back? From Ooni, to alaafin and the rest of the noble yoruba kings to gani adams are ona kakanfo of yorubaland. That's what leaders are meant for, we'll never disrespect them unlike some that have no leader and wake up their fathers with a sliding tackle according to stories. Revolution my ass. Our pvc is our revolution and we'll never cease to use it every four years. Nonsensical nonsense.

[/s]

This is gradually spiraling out of control. This is how revolution starts. French revolution comes to mind. There would be no hiding place for all the politicians that turned this country into a sh!thole.
