You can't keep Nigeria from breaking with cheap rhetoric. Time has gone when threats and bullying worked but not anymore.

The only way you can save Nigeria from breaking is by ensuring there is peace, justice, equity and fairness to all.

You can't deny Igbos the right to rule Nigeria, allow herdsmen to be killing people and always build infrastructure in certain areas while neglecting others and still believe Nigeria won't breakup.

North is currently too fragmented, broken, destabilized, failed, war-torn and poor to successfully fight anyone or to stop any region that wants to break away.

If Nigeria is run like other normal countries and it is progressing, no one will want to break it up, but you can't have such disaster where no one is happy and still claim it can't break.

The reality is that if nothing drastic is done to stem the tide, you all will wake up one day to discover that the country has broken into pieces.

chest beating, prove it and walk the talk, talk is cheap

It is not chest beating but simple mathematics.

2023 is the last chance for those that love Nigeria to save it by doing what is right, just and fair.

Igbos are not happy because of how they've been treated badly in a country they contributed so much for and has been frustrated into seeking for their own country.

The Yorubas have used their turn as president for good 8 years, and another 8 years as vice president. Right now, Nigeria will gain nothing in terms of ensuring peace and stability by allowing them to rule again when they've have been in the corridors of power since the last twenty years.

Everyone that wants to save Nigeria from iminent breakup must ensure that Igbo man or woman rules in 2023.

Confused Osu

Greedy abobaku

This guy has become so stvpid, and the more he continues to defend rubbish, the more he destroys whatever reputation he must have garnered while working with Sun newspaper.

He should remember there is life beyond serving the Buhari administration.

The worst thing that happened to him was accepting to work for a useless and bastardized administration. He will look back with regrets on the day he accepted the offer.

Oche211:
Instead of this silly reason, the airline shouldn't have replied at all.
Wtf were they thinking with this reply?
How Naira Marley take resemble Fashola?

You are still part of the problem bedeviling Nigeria. You only saw the headline and concluded without bordering to read the message. The airline CEO stated that when the manifest was sent to him, he saw the names of Babatunde Fashola among others on it and he felt it was the minister of Power.

Inasmuch as I'm not totally absolving the airline for not doing their own diligence, this is a case of possible impersonation. Investigation should be conducted to really find out if some staff of the airline connived with Naira Marley to facilitate the flight.

ezenwajosh:
Can any Nigerian explain these

Dumb ones said he's chopping money

And I ask is osibanjo not chopping money can't you see he's getting older?
Looke at TRUMP

QUEEN OF ENGLAND

DO BUHARI HAS MORE BETTER HEALTH CARE AND EAT MORE HEALTHY FOOD THAN THEM

A TYPICAL NIGERIAN IS PSYCHOLOGICALLY DOWN

HE'S NOT CAPABLE OF REASONING

That some people still have the guts to argue this shows that it's either Nigerians from certain parts of the country are the most stvpid people on earth or they are so wicked in trying to pull wool over the eyes of others.

I'm 100% sure based available video and pictures that the dude who was on national TV addressing Nigerians IS NOT BUHARI.

Common, are you all that dum.b?
These people have been able to succeed so far in this madness because you all have refused to reason like normal humans.

Little wonder Nigeria is the world's poverty capital, many people occupying that geographical area are subhuman.

Jeez!!!

They should scrap it altogether.

Which Orji Uzor kalu finished Aba, where you in Aba when he was the governor?

Every good thing in Abia is tagged Mbakwe handwork forgetting that Orji Uzor kalu did massive construction of roads in Abia state including the dilapidated ones did by Mbakwe. In his 1st tenure he did very well which earned him best governor for 2 consecutive times, everything slowed down when he started having problem with OBJ due to his 3rd bid agenda.

Before 1999 there was no good good in Aba except Umungasi road, some portions of Azikiwe road and Okigwe road, it was Orji Uzor kalu that reconstructed all the roads and constructed new ones. 70 percent of all the roads in Aba city center was constructed by Orji Uzor kalu, Mbakwe only planned the city center, did the gutters of most of the roads but did not tar them before military took over.

Orji Uzor kalu tarred all the roads even the ones in Umuahia. The major problem Orji Uzor kalu had then was poor drainage system and the ignorance of the people, they were comparing Abia state with the rich neighbours like Akwa ibom and Rivers states even till today not knowing that these states receive in a month what Abia receives in 8months.

Forget about image damage which has eaten deep into Orji Uzor kalu person. He was one of the best during his time. Don't argue with me just go and ask question and make enquiry from elderly people and people that were in Abia during the military regime. Mbakwe did very well in Aba but we did not see most of his roads we only heard starting from Omuma, Osusu, faulks, asa, factory, Clifford, Ngwa road, old express was totally washed away.

Orji Uzor did nothing in Abia state. I was in Aba between 1999 and 2007, and his performance at best was mediocre. He also laid the foundation for the bastardization of Abia since 1999.

Abia is today the most backward state in the SE in terms of infrastructure. Relatively newly created states like Ebonyi now has the kind of infrastructure Abia people can only dream of, and this shame could be traced to Orji Uzor for laying a very bad foundation.

Yampotatocarrot:
This was exactly the discussion I had with someone last time I went home. Any small space, one guy is using it to build a mansion. 20 years is too much for your prediction o, in about 10 years time, areas in Mbaise down towards Umuahia will definitely have scarcity of lands. I hope this "madness" doesn't spread to Okigwe, because it seems they are the only ones that still have reasonable amount of lands.

You're right. I was shocked when I got to village in Mbaise and discovered that lands in interior communities now goes for as high as one million naira!! I mean lands in a rural community!!

I think very high population density is causing it and areas around Mbaise and Owerri is highly populated.

Ajibade123:
so you will choose Atiku over Osinbanjo in 2023

Osinbajo is a weak man. He doesn't have what it takes to rule a country like Nigeria. GEJ will be far better than him. We don't want someone who will be receiving instructions from the drug lord in Burdilon.

Saveme99:
[s]Believe me, if APC fields Osinbajo, he will surely win. Many Igbos will vote for him including myself. He is a patriotic Nigerian. The reverse can be said of Tinubu though[/s]

Nonsense, there are far better versions of Osinbajo in Igboland. Afonjas have had their turn and 2023 is the turn of Igbos.

I keep telling them that there is no way SW is going to rule in 2023 but some greedy afonjas keep arguing with me.

2023 will be a make or mar year for Nigeria.

Nwanyiogwashi:
You guys in East need to up your game because we are looking at you guys.

Don't worry, if there is any region that has all it takes to counter these barbarians successfully, then it's Igbos. We are lucky to be homogeneous ethnically and religious wise unlike every other region.

By the way, I heard that Asaba is always a place of refuge when trouble makers are chased out of Onitsha.

You guys need to up your game too.

Nwanyiogwashi:
We have taken the lead in Anioma south east igbos should start waking up.

Check recent history. We know how we roll in the East. I was in Aba in 2001 and the retaliation was horrible. I had to stop eating suya because I couldn't differentiate it from burning cardavars on the streets.

Ozu ndi ugwu wusara n'iro n'ebenile. Iwufu obara adighi nma, Mana meemu m'emekwara gi anaghi afu uka

By 2023, that's if Nigeria is still standing by then, different warlords will be in control of communities and regions.

Anarchy looms large in the horizon and there seems to be no remedy in sight.

Where are the dead bodies of the Boko Haram fighters?

You stylishly drop your stuff off own weapons and still snap it as it exhibit. Everyday we hear of Boko Haram destroying towns and killing scores of people and these rusted weapons are what you can show us??

Audio

Nonsense!!! Nobody should take these guys serious at all. They love Nigeria even more than the Fulani.

Tinubu is just using this one to draw attention. If you know, you know

OfoIgbo:
It is not in the SE or SS interest to vote for a SW candidate in 2023. This is especially so, because it was not in the SW interest to vote for a SS president in 2015.

We will shop for a suitable candidate both in the SE, SS and possibly the north, and present such a person as the candidate for 2023, of course keeping tabs on who the APC presents

These guys are very funny. They forget that there is nothing noble about asslicking and anyone can easily do that.

They teamed up with the North in 2015 to remove a SS president only to force a disaster on us. Now what stops us in the SE and SS from teaming up with the North to ensure a yoruba does not win in 2023?

They are so self-centered that all they think about is their own interests but they forget that others have their own interests to protect.

If APC fails to give their presidential ticket to an Igbo man then the North (maybe NC or NE) is going to continue from where Buhari stopped because there is no how a Yoruba man should rule again when the Igbos are yet to have their own turn.

Goke7:
you guys are lazy and ignorant in Nigerian politics which is your bane look here, at the highest level of political horsetrading, ethnicity and religion are not considered but deep political interests and that is why even politicians from the same village can go against each other cos its all about interests first. Your calculation that yoruba will hustle for votes in the north is not tenable especially looking back in history. It is who the political gladiators trust the most that they work for. This is what we saw in 2011 when gej won and same people who work for him then turn against him in 2015. That is how it works not a south vs north thing. Northerners has voted for southerners and vice versa and it is a dynamic system depending on the swing of political interests. Track records of political participation and those marketing the candidate are also considered.

The Yorubas are masters in this game and will settle for a candidate that the northerners will trust barring whoever pdp will pick as candidate whether from the south or north. We know these are your fears and that's why you are begging for both parties to present an igbo candidate which is impossible because the igbos are yet to contribute anything meaningful to APC. You guys can try your luck sha but your sentiments can't win this game.

Really, when exactly did the Yorubas became masters of the game?

You've been in the wilderness since independence until the civil war. If there wasn't a consensus agreement to allow you guys rule in 1999 do you think Obasanjo would have emerged president?

Asslicking the north while selling out on the South is what you call sophistication but you forget that anyone can easily do that.

Goke7:
stop wasting your time on Nigeria, focus on your biafra except if you guys are not confident of it.

So far we still pay tax in Nigeria and our resources are still used by Nigerians then we will continue to seek for our rights in Nigeria or we go our way.

OfoIgbo:
Igbos are democratic. Some want a restructured Nigeria. Some want Biafra. Some want the presidency. Or you think Igbos are zombies that must only want one thing.

OF course we all know that the Igbos that want restructuring and those that want presidency can easily switch over to wanting Biafra, if restructuring and presidency are out of reach.

Don't mind these guys, they think they're smart but can't see the bigger picture.

If Boko Haram and fulani herdsmen attacks that is ruining Nigeria didn't stop Northerners from seeking to be president then why should Igbos not seek for the presidency because some of our people are peacefully agitating for Biafra?

Did the IPOB bomb anywhere? Did IPOB kill any Nigerian?

Goke7:
Igbos should stop disturbing our peace and face their biafra struggle abeg. You guys should just focus

Don't get it twisted. The quest for Biafra was borne out of the injustice meted out on Igbos in Nigeria.

We are only seeking for Nigeria to be a just, fair, peaceful and progressive country where every part would have a sense of belonging. However, if these noble demands are not met, then Biafra becomes the only alternative.

The choice is yours to allow peace, progress and equity to reign or we go our way.

2023 will be the last straw and we are watching keenly.

tamdun:
But Alex ekwueme contested against obasanjo in 2003

Let an Igbo man rule for four years first, then others can contest along with him.

prowest:
Yes he is losing his culture..... Igbo culture going into extinction

Cc: racoon azmanaty proeast anambralstson gwafaeziokwu Adaowerri111

What do you mean by losing his culture. Are we no longer in a patrilineal society?

The lady is now an Igbo woman.

The couple is beautiful, handsome man and pretty lady.

I give it to the lady Sha, she is smart. She knows that by getting married to an Igbo man, she wouldn't have to share her matrimonial bed with another woman which would have been the case if she marries a Northern Muslim.
