instead of condemning the useless ewedu eating rifraf sowere you're here trying to lump him to the person that spoke the truth

Tufiakwa

Honestly I wonder what Nigeria is turning to.We v lost dignity&value,calling black white.How would you feel if that man was your father?How would you feel if OBJ or Tinubu were treated dat way?Someone's private life. I pray Sowore will not try it on Igboman bc they will pounce him&his ppl.I trust dem. Tomorrow they will say they v culture & respects.

PointB:
Then we should put it to a vote / referendum.

It is wrong for older people to dictate to the younger one how to live in a fast paced changing world. Similarly, the younger one must not stampede the older ones.

A meeting point is the referendum. Let's put it to a vote!

Biafra or restructuring should be decided by vote, not some regurgitate about properties and trades deals. These can always be negotiated by treaties. Nigerians are found in other countries so would Biafrans.

I agree with you, lets put the issue to vote which is the most democratic norms globally.Also i agree with Ekwerenmadu that IPOB should stop the hate speeches and concentrate on their objectives.So far so good, IPOB has been non voilent and i hope they will keep it up.

This is blackmail.Sahara reporters have gone into blackmailing people and popping into people's private lives.I ask,how would you feel if that man was your father?

BabaRamota1980:
Dem no fit leave now. They have brought all kind of insults on their people. Even as we dey here talk i guarantee you Ibo still dey purchase land for North. I guarantee you that. They are cursed! Now North has found a willing slave and other Southerners need to be careful because SE is under ransome, they will sabotage interests to bring others into the tent with them on this self submission to the North.

See d kind of post u send if d IPOB guy start u will be d one to complain dat they r insulting forgetting dat u started it.Arewa ultimatum has nothing to do with d agitation.Check countries dat had referendum u will see how it was achieved. D movement is high in d SE&they r determined. No SE anyhow leader can stop it even if u kill NK today u will see more than 2,000 of him.Since d coming of boko haram more northerns v traveled to d SS/SE for survivals.What about d oil wells owned by d North?are they not more than d petty businesses d Igbos r having in core northern states?Our leaders should jettison greed&restructure this nation for us all.

Mujtahida:
If you do not understand the why of his pan Africanism you cannot understand how his pan Africanism could not be an antidote to his tribalism.
I repeat Azikiwe was a tribalist
Awolowo was a tribalist
Sardauna was a tribalist
You are free to pick your Saint among them.
As for me I own all of them, warts and all.

Very funny.I can't tell why some of you will ever want to rob others your flaws.If Sarduna and Awo were tribalists dat doesn't mean Zik was too.Zik was a pan Africanist even when he domesticated his efforts on Nigeria's independence. Let's be sincere for once.

SuperS1Panther:
Thanks Mynd44.

Locking and deleting educative threads is not the best for NL. A lot of useless mediocre and propaganda threads are allowed to proliferate and run amock while intelligent ones are deleted.

Most intelligent contributors are deleting their monikers and moving on because the intellectually capacity building NL is known for has dropped to sub-zero, while some of us only chose to stay to stop lunatics from a washing Internet with bad impression of our ethnicity and we go to other intellectual sites for high level discussion and knowledge sharing. Some of us have been on NL for more than 10years and we know practically all sensible contributors, ethnic but sensible contributors and hollow heads.

You guys should let us know what exactly you want NL to be known for. This particular thread brought back a lot of old timers eg Katsumoto with their wealth of experience and foresight.

Thread such as this should be encouraged and not some useless Biafrau.d will be better than heaven thread, Kanu is having his bath thread, Evans ate chicken yesterday, Hushpuppi is lounging on Atlantic Ocean, Tonto Dike is twerking threads that litter FP nowadays.

The quality of contributors on NL has dropped to an abysmal mediocre and sub-zero level. Gone are the days when NL was a change agent in organisations, source of breaking news for traditional news media and information library for researchers.

You guys should have an in-house discussion to tell us what NL is for.

Unfortunately you yorubas started d insult and abuse on nairaland. You abuse other tribes in d past and got away with it but suddenly they came in and gave u ppl a full dose of what u want.Also ur betrayal and tribal attitudes compounded d whole matters.Before d exit of d last administration u teemed up with others to abuse d SS&SE but after election the SE came heavily on u careless of their mega bytes.Biafra came up and some of u looked for their troubles hence the heavy insult&abuse.Presently most of them v stopped posting on nairaland bc I don't see those user names again.You need to respect other ppl to be respected&not to run them down at every occasion or conversation.thanks

For those who do not know,this is the Official GDP of all southwest states.

GDP in the Southwestern Region of Nigeria
The Region contributes about 35% of the country’s GDP estimated at $180bn, out of which Lagos State contributes 72% at $129bn and other States sharing the remaining $51bn.


Ekiti ---------- N3.5bn
Lagos ------- N129bn
Ogun -------- N5.3bn
Ondo -------- N28.32bn
Osun -------- N3.54bn
Oyo --------- N8.85bn




I got this from DAWN Commission's facebook page


*Modified: its suppose to be in Dollars not Naira, they probably made a mistake

Do you think Niger Delta will allow Lagos huge federal allocation if Nigeria is restructured considering that d money is from oil?Two do you think they will allow oil companies to leave their HQ in Lagos hence d huge revenue?Thirdly do you think investor will remain in Lagos once Calabar,Delta,PH and other sea ports start working due to restructure?

quid:
Boko Haram has killed 30,000+ people. . .

and millions r supporting them. Have u forgotten d kit gloves dat was given to boko haram by d north in d last administration?How come d military v been fighting and d group is still existing.what book haram is doing is already existing in d north.Hisbah is in d north,sharia is there so let dem v a referendum to determine their strength&support.

ODAROOMS:
This is a call up challenge to our military personnel
So far the recruitment has process, the Nigeria security concerned should also followed up, from there success can be achieved

This is a waiting bomb.Unfortunately our security organizations r riddled with book haram guys.so let d station blast.

Tolexander:
Make NBC jam the radio frequency!

Jam wetin?#I stand with Book Haram#

Ango Abdullahi can never achieve what IBB achieved for Nigeria and d North. IBB moved federal capital out of Lagos to Abuja which is d north.He also maintained Igbo marginalization in Nigeria. So Ango should stop running his sense like a tout



.

Markfemi2:
In as much as I don't like his insults
Kanu has only proved an idea that only force can make you get what you want in Nigeria
Today everyone's discussing restructuring
But when Yoruba have been peacefully campaigning for it it wasn't discussed
Same thing with Niger delta they used force to collect 13%

The restructure u asked for was OBJ presidency.You came back again and got Osinbajo VP.You were greedy&never mearnt well to other Nigerians.You can see dat Yorubas r not progressive but tribal.D Igboman is progressive by nature and it pays him bc they r everywhere unlike d Yorubas.

This act is a tradition with them,they r called GBOMOGBOMO.They v a human parts markets in their states

Nigeria lost d Igbo tribe long ago and foolishly lost d SS.He said it all dat they will use civil disobedience and not war.So for those calling for war I wonder who u go fight.

NK should advice d yorubas to go back and stay with d Hausa Fulani and others in a united Nigeria.For his own good he should never go into any alliance with them bc of their attitude.Marizu KANU!

d North is about to sink,they r looking for someone to hold on. Unfortunately they v lost d SS,they r threatening d SW to get there support.

beamtopola:
Despite the fact that most see ss region politician of being greedy. I m writting this based on actual environment or assuming our leaders have the fear of God, this will be the most richest and poorest state in nigeria.

RICHEST
1 Akwa Ibom: They have the largest oil wells in Nigeria and they are assumed to export about 530000 barrels of crude oil per day. This will be amount to about 2.5billion naira per day which will generate up to 70billion naira per month.

2 Delta : the second largest exporter of oil. They export about 400000 barrels of oil per day which will result to 65 billion Naira per month.

3 Rivers: the third largest exporter of oil. About 360000 per day which will generate about 60billion per month.


4 Bayelsa my land: fourth largest exporter of oil. About 340000 per day. This will amount to about 59billion per day and due to it smaller population and if her politician are generous and also have the fear of God, almost every citizen will live above average just like Singapore.

5 Lagos: logos has not crude oil, it is number five , because of her multiple industries which will enable them generate billions of revenue through taxation. It is assumed that logos generates about 25billion Naira per month.



POOREST

1 ekiti: I dont no how they will generate income. May be lagos will help them out.

2 Osun: same thing

3 kwara: the same thing

4 Eboyi : the same thing.

I don't put any northerners state ,cause it is assumed they have land for agriculture.

What if Delta,Onitsha,Warri,Ibaka and PH ports start Woking?Ppl will move out of Lagos Lagos is enjoying Nigeria's corrupt system.Once d country is restructured d experiences of Liverpool,Manchester,&other cities of 1950s will catch up with Lagos.Investors r flexible at geography&threats.

sunnysunny69:
We know Kanu will shoot himself in the foot. He's taking his people to entirely wrong direction and same time digging his kinsmen big hole. No one gain an independent over the radio or by spitting hate speaches. We know it's all chest beating and people that knows best dont care about all the brouhaha.

https://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sheep-chewing-then-stare.gif

Igbos want separate nation and I don't see it as a problem to u.Already we wish all of u well as u restructure Nigeria but for d Igbos they r better of with a nation.

rhektor:
But you all have been crying over a statement made by minute group of people that has no say in the polity of Nigeria. They don't even made up a community in Kaduna. So what's all these appeal to emotion all about? Nnamdi Kanu himself has been changing his stories recently he seems to be taking a new turn when will you too take a new turn? Just asking.

I wish i can tell you age because you think too low.Whether you make statement or not this Biafra thing is a done deal.It s not even Nnamdi Kanu that is the force behind it.There r lot of Igbos outside Nigeria that r bent on pulling out of the country called Nigeria.If i were you i will be thinking on how your people will agitate for a better structure in Nigeria after these people might v gone.

2n2k:
How did you arrive at your conclusion in the bolded part? Usual chest beating?

South-Sudan fought war of separation with Sudan for 50 years (1955 - 2005) with only a break of 11 years

Eriteria fought war of independence for continuous 30 years (1961 - 1991) with Ethiopia

And you are now saying they voted overwhelmingly for secession despite their illiteracy. So you think they fought wars for generations (the main reason for their educational underdevelopment) so that they could vote against independence in a referendum that was just a formality?

Igbos that are more educated, how many years did their war for independence last? Just two and half years.

O what r u saying,that war must be fought?Pls grow up war will not be fought.You must not fight wars to gain independence.Must countries that left USSR how many fought wars?Since there is a sharp differences,injustice and even open declaration from the Nigerian ppl (Arewa) that Igbos should go and the Igbos saying they want to go,tell me what else should you be waiting for.Referandum is the best thing.From the sit at home it shows that it is an overwheming decision by the ppl there.

ERockson:
We learnt that the first VC of UI and UNILAG were igbo appointed by Nnamdi Azikwe.
It was also alleged by Akintola that about 98% of the appointment or recruitment by the then VC of UI that happened to be igbo were given to igbos.

Can we say this and many factors responsible for why Awolowo forbidden Zik to be the first Premier of Western region.

What would have happened to the Yorubas if Zik was allowed to govern the Yorubas?

AWOLOWO was the pioneer of tribalism in Nigeria.It s like a pregnancy u cannot cover.Stop being childish and face reality.

oladeebo:
Christianity and Judaism were distinct and different religion today, but how igbo nation lost their christian faith for Judaism in a very short period of time is astonished and amazing me!
Nnamdi Kanu who is agitating for Biafra is a Judah and the biafra country of Nnamdi kanu's dream is a judah state and Judaism the religion of the state!
who were those igbo mocking Yoruba by saying "yoruba muslim"
were they christian? No
Igbo is Judah!
Biafra nation is "Yehudi" state!
Before The igbo christian realized what befalling them, the churches would be empty
the biter truth!
oladeebo from Enugu

Your posting doesnt make any sense at all.For your knowledge in Isreal there is christianity and Judiasim.In Nigeria with all the big churches corruption, ethnicity,stealing and deception floods everywhere.The rich no longer give their huge tithes to the church they prefer orphanage home.Widoms and orphans even the poor were motivated to give money which were used to build secondary schs and universities which their children will never attend. If Judiasim should offer equity,non corruption,deception etc than those churches the Igbos will join them after all they r the choosen one of God.

You may think IPOB is in the majority for now. When the time for voting comes you will be shocked to see majority vote for restructuring.
Ipob are noise makers. More of touts. They behave like brainwashed people so they dont listen to anybody with contrary opinion. Too bad.

The problem some of you people v is that of defining the Igboman.Ironically, the Igboman stands in a better position to define you because he lives and eats with you.Anytime you define him and you think you know him well ,in his mind he luaghs at you.The Igboman left Nigeria long ago.They were only watching the politics in Nigeria.Politicians from Igboland were making their money by rigging elections where the people did not turn out.Even some of u turn the voters apathy to something esle forgetting to look at the basic issues.South Sudan with their level of illiteracy voted overwhelmingly for seccession during referandum even more than that of Eritrea.And you cannot compare any of this tribes with the Igbos.Pls dont go that area.

Phi001:
I'm not saying there's anything special, all I'm saying is Nigeria is going to be here for a long time...


It's not going to create any competition..If that healthy competition cannot not be created when we are together, what makes you think it'll be created if we split?

Nice question.Healthy competition will be created.Citizens will agitate for it and the various leaders will work for it.Sometimes we see South Africa as a whiteman's territory,but Ghana's uniterrupted democracy influenced our leaders a bit.so the proximity will create quicker and better competition.

femolii:
what do u want to do about it now osu just focus on ur erosion region.

An elder said something very serious r u r busy saying childish things.Is it not a concern that some of u behave like Awo?Tribalistic.

I v said it before that in a true nigeria the yoruba man's character will be his on doing.Biafra/Nigeria will find it difficult to partner with d yorubas.Truth is coming out everyday.Honestly Yorubas should change their attitude it s shaming.

Following SaharaReporter's exclusive June 20 report on a vicious Boko Haram attack on a joint police/military convoy near Maiduguri which embarrassed and caught dozens of policemen off guard, the leadership of the militant group has released a video through journalist Ahmad Salkida of Salkida.com.

Following SaharaReporter's exclusive June 20 report on a vicious Boko Haram attack on a joint police/military convoy near Maiduguri which embarrassed and caught dozens of policemen off guard, the leadership of the militant group has released a video through journalist Ahmad Salkida of Salkida.com.

In the video, in which Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau speaks for about 10 minutes, the group reveals that several female officers were abducted during the raid. His speech is then followed by scenes of the fierce attack, which took place on the Maiduguri-Damboa road.

In the 17 minutes and 25 seconds video, graphic contents of one of the terror victims are shown, as well as images of another set of victims perhaps about to be beheaded, in scenes similar to previous Boko Haram propaganda videos.

The footage shows only still images of the abducted women, but no video. Shekau, holding a chewing stick (miswak) instead of a microphone, takes credit for the attack and in his usual manner, chides Nigerian security officials for lying that Boko Haram has been defeated.

“I want to tell you that we are the one that attacked the convoy, here are the vehicles for all to witness, we are the ones that abducted the female police officers, in fact, they are senior female police officers,” he brags. “What we did is nothing when compared to our women, children, and friends that have been wiped out or arrested for many years by the Nigerian government. We only abducted them to serve as slaves to us.”

I pity those women.Serve as slaves?hmm! turn by turn and many children.

slivertongue:
west needs to come out with a comprehensive detail of Awo's action while in govt so dat all will see, name calling wont help

Honestly the man has been accussed of too many evils.The West should come out with a complete detailed report of him.The irony is that it is the people that he worked with that r accusing him.This country is wicked.aah, ama buru kii.

Phi001:
It's always fun to read all these bullshit tribal arguments online...



Truth is Nigeria will be Nigeria even after everyone here dies and their children die and their children's children ad so on....

All these Biafra, Arewa, Oduduwa, Niger-Delta separation talks are just to pass time...

What is speacial about Nigeria staying together forever.USSR has fragmented and still fragmenting.Many countries in d Middle East r doing that.In Africa Eritrea/Ethopia comes to mind, and what about South sudan?Remember we were seperate groups before Lugard merged us and dont tell me u see Lugard as God.So find out why he amalgamated Nigeria.But wait,i leant the North was prosperous before amalgamation, so is the Kingdom of Benin and the Oduduwa.The Igbos and Ijaws had formidale economic system.Dont u think we can do better if one goes out?i mean both doing better?because it will create competition.

slivertongue:
North elders have remained consistent with this acusation

I use to hear it on Nairaland but from Sen. Mantu it means the allegation is true.What baffles me is how some ppl r denying it. The way this people deny everything fears me.If the case is too much they accuse IPOB.Before it was GEJ but GEJ own has died down.God will help them.

honourhim:
IPOB wants separation and they ve not stopped wanting it
Ohanaeze wants restructuring. I dont think its hard to differentiate between the two. You guys are always thinking every Igbo man is ipob member. Reset your reasoning.

Ohanaeze is 30 in number while IPOB is millions in number.Tell me who has majority?

isalie:
This TRIPOD abi na IPOB octopus is beginning to make u-turn. Your eyes don clear abi? You never see something. Crook

Na wahoo! why dont u read his statement very well to enable u comment maturedly.He doesnt hate the north but some persons in the North, however that has nothing to do with the movement and agitation for Biafra.Biafra is a done deal with love for all humanity.NK hates the killings in the North and those who support it.He has never killed before and will never.NK values human lives as a religous man.Pls dont hate him because he s calling for Biafra.The way you like and admire activists abroad that is how you need to admire him and make his speech your ring tone.
