The boys made lot of money no doubt unfortunately d blood of those murdered for their gain will continue to speak against them and their generations.Thank God I was not lured by such demonic influence.Lesson for all!
konoplyanka: Humans are discussing here and a pig is grunting. So iboes are the one you can trust and not backstab you? Every osu pig looks for any opportunity to vent their frustration at the great Yoruba nation.
Why do yorubas like insulting people?When others take up these insults they turn around to shout for help.Pls say things reasonable and stop insulting ppl.
kraftyiyk: Nairaland, the most bigoted social network i have ever seen.
No body bans these urchins who jump arround insulting an entire igbo race...sarrki, liondeleo..Ngene whatever and etc. Sometimes i wonder if they r really BMC or members of staff of this Nairaland who are paid to insult igbos cos anything anti igbo sells in Nigeria gossip market!
Truth is bitter but it has to be told.
No matter how they r protected,all we know is that a fornicator was crowned as a traditional ruler in their land and an AGBERO will be installed on Saturday in Yoruba land.And soonest d sophisticated will serve him.

GuidoVanRossum: It amazes me that almost everyone on here refers to my people as being Yorubas. Is it because of the name "Akoko?". Please, note that the major languages in Akoko Edo are: Okpameri Uneme Etuno Ososo And a very very tiny % of Yorubas. Akoko-Edo isn't a Yoruba land. Yes, we have Yoruba influence and it shows in our names and all that. But we very different both culturally and in terms of language.
I therefore implore you all to stop calling my people Yorubas.
PS: This does not mean we hate the Yoruba people as they are our brothers in the same geographical contraption called Nigeria.
Mind44, Lalasticlala, please help us educate others.
Well I sympathize with you.Yorubas r not people u associate with and trust with ur heart.They r classified traitor and betrayals. We v heard u but we will be on d look for those inhuman attitude of d yorubas in ur people.Don't hate anyone becauae u need them for ur daily interactions and God says u should love ur neighbors but hate those characters are n them.
mesoprogress: No matter the camp you belong - Nigerian Igbo, IPOB, etc Please and Please , register and get your PVC card. You can get it in your state of residence if it is where you will vote, else get it wherever you intend to cast your vote.
I'm more worried by IPOB. Even if you get Biafra today, you will not get international recognition immediately. See Somaliland - still uses Somalia international passport, North Cyprus - still covered by Turkey. Somaliland has their own military, more organized and thriving economy than rogue and lawless Somalia. Yet they are not yet recognized - both currency and passport. They are currently working on it and might take several more years to get it. But I'm positive they will get it one day. So I'm not discouraging secessionists, instead asking them to apply wisdom.
So what I'm saying in a nutshell is , even if we conduct referendum and declare a republic and Nigeria did not fight back seriously or even lose, it may take up to 10years or more to get recognized by countries like US or UK.
So in the meantime, please play Nigerian politics to the fullest while planning your secession. Seek for positions and change the current underdevelopment of Eastern Nigeria. That is exactly what Catalonia's secessionists did ! Took over the political sphere of their region. Yet it was still very difficult for them! Nnamdi Kanu is just on the sideline. Don't you see it will never fly ? Assuming Nk is governor of Abia state and use executive power with other eastern Governors, do you think they would be treated this way? Nay
Catalonia is more developed than the rest of Spain. If our utopia secessionists can take over the polity and at least start to "genuinely" developing the east. Presently leadership in the East is in the hands of rogues. That would be wonderful step. In any war you need strategy and alliances. Even hermit North Korea has alliances. So get your PVC and vote President etc who will not "marginalize" Igbos to the fullest. I personally believe the most marginalized people are the middle belt people. They don't belong to the north or south, just used as "tools" by northern oligarchs.
Again and again, please stop insulting people on social media. It wreaks of lack of home training. I get insulted daily. No matter the provocation, don't insult- ever.
For my normal nonchalant Igbo brethren, who feel politics don't affect them, please think twice. Things might change. Policies can affect your businesses, life etc. Even if you're not a politician, please get it. You can use it as an ID card.
North is breeding Almajiris daily for this same reason. Next fifty years, they would be majority and overrun Nigeria if it still remains one nation. We must introduce this electoral college stuff if south will remain relevant in the future. Here in the south, most of my friends are having between 2-4 children maximum. Most three. You can't say the same up north.
Please be wise.
Finally, if possible make suggestions for 2019. Both for southeast and Presidential elections. How do we focus and make south east relevant now? Please no phantom marginalization or Biafra. We need workable solutions Now. Thank you
I love ur approach but u can do better by creating a social media where stuff like this will be discussed.Pls do and let us know.
bloodmoneyspita: Gani Adams, leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), has called on Yorubas to protect themselves from the Fulani herdsmen.
Adams said OPC will not involve itself in helping to secure the South-West from the attack of the herdsmen. The OPC leader also said his men lost the interest to protect the Yorubas, due to various derogatory remarks people have made about the group.
Adams chided traditional rulers in the South-West, saying “When one is too fanatic in religion, it brings shame, religion is good, but when it becomes fanatic, it brings ridicule.
“If we are being moderate in our religions in Yoruba land, be it Christian, Muslim or traditional religions, who dare bring attack into our communities?” Adams said this at a lecture organised by the Ondo state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), tagged: Herdmen/ Fulani clashes : what implication for inter- Ethnic relations/ Nigerian Economy.
He also said his men have been branded thugs, bandits, criminals, touts and terrorists by the Yoruba people.
Gani Adam is simply telling us that yorubas r divided based on religion. Some yorubas r ardent with d fulanis while others r moderate with them.but in a conflict with the fulanis what do u think will happen?Well lots of yorubas r Christians and many r moslem unfortunately Islam does not recognize any other religion and brotherhood.I pray we don't experience d worst there
Ebullience: Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Ahmed Abubakar as the new director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).
Abubakar was appointed as a replacement for Ayo Oke, former head of the intelligence agency, who was sacked on 30 October 2017, following the controversies trailing $43.5m found in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to Fayose, the forefathers of Nigeria must be lamenting were they to see “what Buhari has turned the country into”.
Fayose, in a statement by Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, said while Lawal was replaced by Boss Mustapha, from Lawal’s Adamawa hometown, Buhari failed to pick Oke’s replacement from his state.
He described Abubakar’s appointment as evidence that Buhari is an “unrepentant sectional leader, who does not care about the feelings of people from other parts of the country”.
“Seeing what President Buhari has turned the country to, the forefathers of Nigeria, who laid the foundation of the country on equity, justice and fairness will be lamenting wherever they are now,” Fayose said.
“President Buhari has consistently demonstrated that he is an ethnic champion, a religious bigot and the number one promoter of disunity in Nigeria. This he has done again with the appointment of yet another northerner as the NIA director-general.
“Ambassador Ayo Oke was removed from office the same day Babachir Lawal was removed as secretary to the government of the federation.
“While Lawal’s replacement came from his home state, Oke’s replacement came from the north. That is unacceptable.”
Fayose asked if there was no one from the south qualified to head the agency.
He added that given Abubakar’s appointment, “all” of the country’s security chiefs are northerners.
“With the appointment of Ahmed Rufai Abubakar as the NIA Director General, all heads of security agencies are now northerners and the question is, is this what those who enshrined federal character in our constitution envisaged?” Fayose asked.
“The implication of what the president has done is that, when security council meeting is held today, apart from one or two insignificant people, those in the meeting will be people from one section of the country.
“Even para-military agencies are headed by people from President Buhari’s section of the country. This is unfair.
“Those who argued then that the president made the appointments on merit should come to the open to tell Nigerians, especially those from the south that there is no one that merited appointment as Director General of NIA.”
Alariwo2: Still yet to find any concrete answers to counter my points.
If you can't allow others hold leadership positions in your lands, then don't attempt such in other regions too. Just live like normal people and leave politics for the indigenes.
Point of corrections igbos don't live freely outside igboland. In Yorubaland igbos r taxed on every investment.Also their children pay for school fees even with Yoruba tribalism of "omo ibo".Three ibos contest for elective posts because they pay their taxes to d govt of the land.Now,have ever ask why you people love looting and stealing omo ibo properties?From Idumota to mushin, to Ikeja etc.Even if baba Ayo should slap u Alariwo,ur retaliation will end up in looting Igbo's properties.Finally,there r Yorubas in SouthEast but the
Alariwo2: It's no news that the igbos from south eastern part of Nigeria are found in every corner of the country.
They live freely and give birth as they like in other regions without getting stigmatized. Their kids grow up among other ethnic groups and contest for leadership positions in any community they find themselves.
South East on the other hand is a "no go area" for other ethnic groups as you won't get the free hand to do whatever you like.
A yoruba or Hausa man cannot become ward councillor.
When are we going to see Nairaland topics like.. Igbo group appoints a Yoruba/ Hausa man president? I don't think I've ever come across such.

A former aide to the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan, has spoken concerning the incessant attacks and killing of Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen.
Posting sterling revelations by Professor Charles Adisa of the Chinua Achebe Center for Leadership and Development, about the continued killing, kidnapping and maiming of their host communities by the herders, Okupe lamented that over 1000 people had been murdered across the country.
He blamed the Federal Government for its lukewarm attitude in handling the situation and protecting lives of innocent Nigerians.
The article reads, “For a long time, the Nigerian state has been under siege by Fulani herdsmen terrorists operating under a predictable pattern of reconnaissance, attack and withdrawal, leading to many deaths and social dislocations. Since January 2016, there has been documented deaths of approximately 1000 Nigerians from across the middle belt, the South-south, and Southeastern parts of the country from these coordinated Fulani herdsmen attacks. The Fulani herdsmen are credited with destabilizing the city of Jos, a once tourist destination.
“The failure to protect the citizens is the liability of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its armed forces. Most Nigerians and international bodies do not understand the Fulani herdsmen problem and we at CACLD did not initially. We therefore dispatched a fact finding team to the Southeastern part of the country to unravel the intricacies and complexities of the Fulani terrorist group; a group rated as the fourth most dangerous by respected international conflict organizations (According to the Global Terrorism Index 2015 report).
“Our fact finding team visited interviewed neighbors from the local communities living within and around the Hausa communities. Both the Northerners and the local community were very open and volunteered valuable information to our team. There seems to be a willingness and eagerness for the violence to end. Below are our findings:
“The Fulani Herdsmen terrorists do not own cattle: This is another revelation that may come as a surprise to many. Fulani herdsmen killers’ major job description is just to kill. They do not own any cattle. Most of them are employed by the cattle owners as “security men” whose job is strictly to protect the cattle. They do not however follow the cattle around, but move in separate vehicles along a defined route within the states where cattle are being reared.
“The cattle are owned by more prominent Fulani leaders in the country. Most Nigerian Fulanis are no longer migratory herdsmen, but are either Emirs, Sultans, heads of parastatals, oil barons, Imams, Governors, Federal Reps, and Senators. However, they still maintain their cultural ownership of cattle.
“These wealthy Nigerians increase their wealth astronomically through cattle rearing by using their not-well-off brothers from outside Nigeria to rear these cattle. Instead of investing in ranches and buying of grasses from the South, they chose the cheaper alternative of having their kinsmen, imported from outside the country, take these cattle from the north to south seasonally; using the entire Nigerian space as their ‘grass kingdom’. These cattle, in turn, destroy farms in their path, rendering farmers economically bankrupt to further enrich the wealthy Fulani “remote herders.
“For clarity sake, let us present the breakdown of Fulani people in Nigeria as we deduced from our investigation.
“There are about 5 million Fulani people in Nigeria making them one of the smallest ethnic groups in the country.
“Out of the 5 million Fulani people, only about 3 million of them are Nigerians. The remaining 2 million come from outside the country and are first generation immigrants.
“About 60 percent of the Fulanis in Nigeria are governors, Imams, Emirs, Sultan, House of Rep members, Importers, Exporters, Ministers, Oil well owners, lecturers, Vice Chancellors, Ministers, and Senators etc. In a nutshell, the Fulani control all sectors of the northern economy. These rich Fulani’s own all the cattle being reared in Nigeria.
“The remaining 40 percent of Fulanis come from outside the country. These are the poor and peasant Fulanis. These immigrant Fulani’s are mostly in charge of the cattle owned by the Bourgeois Fulani. Because the Fulanis have the highest income per capita in the Nigerian state (Fulani’s who are Nigerians), they constantly need to import their poor brothers and sisters from outside the country to increase their population and to help with menial jobs. The Fulanis always either marry into rich families or they would marry only Fulani to maintain their pure race.
“Lastly, there is a group of Fulani herdsmen who rear the cattle from the north to the south. These are at the bottom of the Fulani Herdsmen ladder. Some of them do not even know how to speak English and are so poor that they are paid just a little amount of money for their job. These herdsmen do not carry guns. They only carry arrows and machetes to help them navigate the bushes on their way down to the South.
“We learned from the surrounding communities and from some of the Hausa elders about what constitutes a Fulani herdsmen attack. According to information we received, when there is a disagreement between host communities, or between herdsmen and farmers, the Fulani herdsmen who accompany the cattle will locate the nearest Fulani settlement. When they arrive, they will narrate their story.
“The Fulani (Nigerian middlemen) cattle managers will notify their top Fulani Herdsmen which in this case, include governors (like El Rufai) and other top Fulani Bourgeois who own the cattle. A decision will be made about whether there should be an attack or not on the said village or host community. If an attack is sanctioned, then modalities will be mapped out and a date will be chosen for the attack. Most times, Fulani herdsmen in the military and police are notified and everyone sends a representative. Neighboring settlements sends out representatives and arms cache are opened and arms are distributed to the participants. The major participants are the 20 to 40 Fulani herdsmen whose job is to kill.
“During an attack, every Fulani person in the area knows there will be an attack and all will contribute to make sure it goes on successfully. Fulanis in the higher levels of the military will ensure all commands under them stand down, and the top Fulani police officers will do the same. The road is then clear for the Fulani herdsmen to carry their attacks.
“Next time when we talk about a herdsmen attack, we must understand that the attack was not carried out by the herdsmen you see escorting cattle on the roads and bushes. These attacks are well coordinated and sometimes involves the approval of senators and influential men in Abuja. Even our president Mohammed Buhari has a herd of cattle and hence is a Fulani herdsman, corroborating the information we received from respondents on ground. Fulani herdsmen attacks involves all Fulani ethnic members in Nigeria. Most times, these attacks happen only because “respectable men” sanction them.”
No wonder why Buhari did not want any Igbo man to head any security organisation
I don't know why yorubas r satisfied with these killings perpetrated by d fulanis. They feel comfortable with d failure of this govt which has unleashed poverty on Nigerians.The igbos r complaining. The Hausa's r complaining The ijaws,itshekiri as well as every meaningful Nigerian r complaining instead d yorubas r praising d govt.God will help them to be truthful.
FortifiedCity: I'm so pained seeing people run away from their fatherland because some group of people who carry sophisiticated weapons to tend cows attack them in their villages. Honestly I wish there is something I could do now to physically defend those guys no matter how costly.
Worst of it all is that the President is indifferent about this. The governors and local government authorities look so incapacitated. Well-meaning Nigerians feel less concerned because it hasn't gotten to their estates, mansions and houses. Everybody is sitting akimbo.
How long is this onslaught going to continue? Are we going to fold our hands and watch defenseless people being slaughtered like goats in their own lands? The first gift creation gave to man was land. The bitterest of wars you'll ever fight is over your land.
But right here, we keep silent and watch people being killed and their lands being taken over by strangers including cows.
Guys don't you think this is a strategic genocide, be it religious or ethnic? Don't you think there are wicked ulterior motives behind these attacks?
The primary reason why you have a neighbor is, to hAve someone speak up for you when you have no voice, to have someone fight for you when you are defenseless. If your neighbor keeps silent while you're being attacked, after you might have been dealt with, it will get to his turn. It is a chain reaction people!!!!!
We are all disappointing humanity by standing neutral in time of moral and human atrocities. Those guys being attacked need someone to speak up for them at least.
Guys we have to speak up so that our diversity remains intact. Agatu comes to mind. That village is a complete shadow now. It's also happening in Southern Kaduna and Adamawa. Lineages, tribes, generations, nations are gradually being exterminated.
We can't let this continue, guys we can't. My heart bleeds now. If there is anything you can do to make the cries of these people heard, please do.
My dear I weep for u.unfortunately we r indifferent in our attitude and culture which we v stocked to religiously as if we never had education.The Yoruba's v carved a system for themselves which is only Yoruba nothing else.As far as they r concerned everyone can be killed in Adamawa borno plateau Benue etc its none of their business but don't take away the food they r enjoying in buhari's govt.The Igbo believe everyone teemed up to massacre them.Others feel happy at d way Igbo is treated and in offices church businesses etc u must mention Igbo and speak against them to progress.therefore the igbos v leant their lessons by minding their business.The ijaws go it alone having suffered one of d worst treatment second to d igbos. Even if the whole of d ppl in d north central is wiped out it s none of their business.With all this back biting and back stabbing how do u expect others to speak for u?no they won't.Suddenly d voices of the Sultan of Sokoto and Emir Sanusi v gone cold after they threatened Numa ppl that they should not take d fulanis for granted.It s evident DAT they r all in support of this Fulani terrorist genocide being committed against others.So weep no more but learn how to stand on justice at all time because it might come to u one day.Even at that TIV leaders v been d worst enemies to themselves and others Where is Paul Unongo? Governor Ortom should take his complains to him so that he can present it in his NEF and ACF.Peace is universal we everyone must protect it.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) observes that today’s holiday fully consolidated the two-day Christmas holiday and enabled Nigerian Christians to kick off the 2018 Christo-Western Gregorian calendar
However, conscious Nigerian Muslims, particularly stakeholders in the welfare of Muslims as well as the growth and development of Islam in Nigeria, approached today’s holiday with mixed feelings. First and foremost, we express happiness for our Christian neighbours who were able to spend the day giving full practice, expression and manifestation of their faith. On the other hand, we experienced a feeling of despair, isolation and marginalization. Our feeling of marginalization arises from the reality of the Nigerian situation which has conditioned Muslims in the country for religious segregation and subjected them to spiritual apartheid.
Here we are today, enjoying January 1st holiday which was declared by the Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria in recognition of the Christo-Western Gregorian calendar. But the same FG which recognizes this Christian calendar is yet to declare 1st Muharram a public holiday in recognition of the Islamic calendar despite several petitions and appeals to it dating back to the 60s. Surprisingly, some people still complain that Nigeria is Islamised!

This demand is a challenge for everyone to demand for resource control.Also the Seventh Day Adventist is demanding for Saturday as a day of worship.Therefore wave and other relevant bodies should desist from scheduling exams on Saturdays. We must adhere to all this demand including that of muric.
ArewaWatch: The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed worry over the raging feud between Dangote Group and BUA Group over the ownership of a mining site located in Okpella area of Edo State.
The conflict over the rightful ownership of Mining Lease No 2541 involving chairmen of the two leading companies, Aliko Dangote and Abdulsamad Rabiu has dominated discussions in the public space for the past few weeks, especially within the business circle. Both sides have engaged in accusations and counter accusations, including name calling in the media.
There had been frantic moves by eminent persons in the country to settle the business row, the latest being the intervention by the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II who had urged the business moguls, both natives of Kano, to sheathe the sword.
Also, Arewa Consultative Forum, (ACF), the pan Northern group has waded into the matter in a bid to end the dispute once and for all. In the last couple of days, the forum and the Northern elders held several meetings where the dispute between Dangote and BUA was seriously discussed. It was gathered that the forum expressed concern over the scuffle and has concluded arrangements to invite the two business giants to a meeting to be chaired by Emir Sanusi II in Kaduna.
The forum which is determined to ensure an amicable resolution of the impasse, also lauded Emir Sanusi II for his timely intervention. Emir Sanusi II, who by virtue of his position as the traditional ruler of Kano and father to all, opted to intervene in the squabble between Dangote and BUA, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the scuffle.
It should be noted that several interventions by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, the Edo government and other stakeholders have proved futile.
In the course of the altercation, it was revealed that the two companies got their licences from third parties. While BUA obtained its licence from the old Bendel Cement Company through its privatisation, Dangote Group obtained its licence from a company called AICO (Ado Ibrahim & Co) Limited.
The disputed area is at the boundary between Kogi and Edo States, but officials have said that mineral titles are not by state boundary but by the geographic coordinates, which means they can fall in any state.
The Mining Cadastre Office, however, is insisting that BUA overlapped the AICO’s title and that it has no case. Meanwhile, the case has brought to the fore the weak administration of data of mineral sites in the country, as the titles claimed by both parties are from the same ministry of Mines and Steel Development.
While the BUA group presents mining rights in ML 18912 and ML 18913 in Obu, Okpella in Edo State, Dangote claims right in ML 2541 located in Okene, Kogi State. Both parties presented evidences that the area where the mining is taking place belong to them and was duly signed by the mining authorities, the ministry of Mines and Steel Development and the Mining Cadastre Office.
Recently, the disagreement between the two firms compelled the Federal Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development to issue a directive that the Obuh mine located in Okpella, Edo State, be shut down.
Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, had disclosed this while meeting with members of the Okpella community at Government House, Benin. He said, “There are multiple claims and they have all gone to court. We have a letter from the Federal Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development instructing that the party currently mining that particular site should vacate it, pending the outcome of the decision in court”.
Prior to this action, BUA Group had accused Dangote Industries of using armed personnel to take over the site and mining illegally. The company also accused the Ministry of Mines and Steel of frustrating its operations, saying it had written to the Presidency seeking its intervention. Dangote Industries, in its defence, claimed BUA Group was illegally mining on a site it had made all the required payments for.
People from Nano fighting over mineral deposits in Kofi and Edo states.Where r the elites from these two states?Does it mean there r no people from these states who can effect my manage this mineral?Edo&Logo indigenes please take over your resources.

chngebeginwthme: Sorry if i hit you really hard, We Yoruba don't care about religion when we are voting, We tolerate ourself..
GUy i no get your time jor good night..
pls tell yourself d truth that large number of your people consider religion and ethnicity in n election.These things r common among you people and you also play them in national politics Get a Kwaraman and Egba or Ijebuman to contest and see d out.
The president is wrong.It is in Southwest u get d most deadly political violence where ppl use charms and all manners of weapons to fight political enemies. But if u put Southwest side by side with d Nprth ,d president is correctly right BC there s no tolerance in d north on matters of religion politics and ethnicity.However time will tell because Islam as a religion does not tolerate other religion.
IkpuMmadu: As they couldn't stand our entrepreneurial prowess, they feared we were going to dominate them. The fear of Igbo domination rented the air in the pre-independence era. This mantra was the genesis of tribal politics in Nigeria - the fear of Igbo domination. Bello sang it aloud to his people. Awolowo played it out.
To be frank with you, the Igbos weren't seeking to dominate anyone. They were merely exercising their God-given potentials in wealth acquisition and creation and surprisngly, this was seen as Igbo domination by some people.
Shortly after the war, they conspired to fleece us of wealth. Our houses and properties were confiscated and we were only given £20 to go start up a life for all that each individual possesses in his bank account.
Subsequently, policies were put in place to stifle Igboland economically. To this intent, they succeeded and we became economic migrants in Nigeria.
And so, they thought they were done with us.
But everywhere we migrated to, we went with our God-given potentials. In a little less than three years we rose out of poverty to become the economic envy of our traducers.
We became something of a wonder to them. How did this happen they would often whisper in their closets.
The Igbos are the economic life-wire of this nation. When we sat at home to honour our dead, the nation counted huge economic loses. I don't think the nation has ever recorded loses when any ethnic nationality protested in any magnitude whatsoever. This is to show you that Igbos have a stake in Nigeria's economy. Nigeria's economy breathes because the Igbo man breathes!
Today, as we keep progressing economically, there is this subtle cry once again that Igbos are dominating them in their land. Like their forebears, they are whining and complaining.
Okay, Ndigbo say: let us have our Biafra so that this complaint will stop. They refused.
Ndigbo do not have the politics of this control under their control. Tell me, if Ndigbo assume the political control of this country, what will they cry about?
We must choose of we want Igbo to be Nigerians or biafrans ...they have made their position clear and they want later
Enough of this whinnying everyday ...Igbo this Igbo that...God blessed them, it is obvious and it is either we tap from them, learn from them.or let them go!
We can't be acting like our fore fathers who had this phobia for them , we can have that genetic defect passed under us ..though recessive

hatred against d igboman is d bane of Nigeria's development and progress.From 1966 to date since d Hausa Yoruba and other ethnic groups took over d reins of power and politics in Nigeria,d country looks like a country just struggling out from colonialism. deficit leadership corruption and lack of development r rift in d country.If Awo admired Zik's prowess to liberate Nigeria,d present Yoruba leaders r selfish greedy and sell out.
Adminisher: The fact that having a Father who is Hausa and a Mother who is IBO is a CRIME to you guys is the reason your tribe will never produce a President in Nigeria
Please mark these words. You have cursed yourselves with those words. Progress is impossible for your people for entertaining these satanic attitude in 2017.
There is ZERO hope. ZERO happiness and fulfilment with this self fulfilling prophecy on your people.
Hausa Dad and Ibo man is a crime to you guys?. You are DEAD already , only you don't know it. No wonder you fail at everything.
So you guys chose your parents?. You told God you wanted to black, African and Nigerian?. What choice does any of us have in circumstances of birth?. Is it not God?.
You guys are FINISHED!!!. We now know the problem of Nigeria and who will always get the rough end of the stick.
Is like u are high on those things ur Huasa brothers take from the pit.Cant u hear that he is Hausa not Igbo.Keep ur Huasa to urself while we keep our Igbo distinctiveness.Igbo and Huasa r not the same and will never be.It is a curse for an Igboman to claim Huas whereas he is Igbo.Also keep ur low IQ president, we want our Nation not ur President. U need to understand all these.
ApexPredator: We don't give a fck how you feel about Chinua Achebe, the father of modern African literature. The man was an icon, who is looked up to by hundreds of million across the globe and brought great pride to Africa and his people. What he said is no different from what former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger said about Igbos and Nigeria. “the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation” I guess Henry Kissinger is chest-beating on our behalf.
The fact is that the Igbo man is not determined by the geographical entity called Nigeria.He is a global man with a strong desire for progress and development anywhere.It is time for the Igboman,the Jew man, Indian man, American man, Chinese man and French Man to form a forum of global ethnic group to protect humanity and their investment any where in the world.

"You Have Disrespected Us" Nigeria Gets In Serious Trouble With US After Voting Against Jerusalem As Capital Of Isreal
Nigeria was part of of the 128 nations that voted against US President, Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
This was done by a vote at the United Nations on Thursday.
Nine countries supported the US' decision, 35 abstained and another 21 did not participate in the vote.
Turkey and Yemen co-sponsored the draft resolution which called on all countries to refrain from establishing diplomatic missions in Jerusalem.
Later on Thursday, US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley sent a terse letter to dozens of countries that voted against the US.
President Trump, pleased with his assertive ambassador, added that the US would cut funding to any country that supported the General Assembly resolution.
In it she said that "the president and the United States take this vote personally"
President Buhari is smarter than President Trump of USA. Gone r the days America will coaxed Nigeria to do her biddings.Nigeria is more united than ever before and can stand to defeat USA if the need arise.Also we will keep mobilizing African nations against American policies if we see those policies as anti Nigeria. Great that President Buhari has brought Nigeria to compete with USA.Long live President Buhari and Long live Nigeria
