oga,stop deceiving urself...read and understand....you are only killing urself and making ur pple hungry....he affect nothing in Lagos State but the transportation company,watin concern Lagos with sit at home!

All you people know is Lagos this, Lagos that..

Are you guys from Irabiji, Ilobu and other tiny SW villages, who have no single investment in Lagos, from Lagos?

Biodun556:
We have to speak out because we don't want biafra refugees

You are now a joke..

Did you have Biafra refugees in 1967?

You are simply scared of the north, alone.

Iamgrey5:
facing Marauding Bandits from the North alone?

Has any of the southeastern governor spoken openly against these Marauding Bandits as most of South Western or South Southern governors have spoken out against them?

And how exactly is the caos going on the southeast helping Yorubas face the Marauding Bandits from the north?

...Spoken about brings no solution...

You should be asking yourself, why most Yorubas are now advisers, as you claim they have no interest in the east.

They open multiple threads to show why the Igbos would suffer if they leave... especially Biodun556.

Don't you want to breath in your Lagos, once they leave?

Now you tell me.

blackmantis:
You hate yourself, you kill yourself
...your Governor in Eboyin said as much.

But Ife and Modekeke didn't kill themselves....

Jukun and Tiv didn't kill themselves...

Igbos are really special people...

There are millions of advisers, once anything befalls the Igbos..

benuejosh:
a Tiv man has never been stupid. And those pictures are not from Benue.

This lying Buhari man...why not respect yourself...

Are you working under LAi and Adeshina?

Is this one Benue?

Iamgrey5:
Why will any Yoruba care about what is going on in igboland?

Igboland is the least important to Yoruba people's survival in current Nigeria.

We still get crops from north central and North East

South South is still very important because of crude oil money


But what is the interest of Yoruba in South East?

We have never even had the same political views or world outlook.

Yes, you are right. the Yorubas who are now preachers here advising, didn't advise their cousins up north who are at the worse end.

The Yorubas are not doing these because they love the Igbos or derive any thing from them.

No, they are doing it for self preservation...they can't face the marauding bandits from the north alone.

That is it.

SlayerForever:
They will be killed so much their soldiers will desert. We will see it.

Anything can happen...the rag tagged Talibans waited for 20 years...remember?

Dialogue remains the best solution.

Afamed:
This is not new news. Since nothing in potopoto republic

Please stop being childish.

This doesn't work any longer.

Afamed:
Since nothing good in potopoto republic. It's not new to us that you want to invade SW.
As we speak, 100000s are already at Upper Iweka struggling to join the next available bus to SW

The highlighted got me laughing...

Show any part of SW better than these in the potopoto republic...even Lagos which is owned by all Nigerians...

Dialogue is the best solution for the FG to provide amenities to SE, like it does to SW and the North, or you will continue to receive massive influx of people from the region

Lagos need to breath.

Successlane:
They establish military facility in your region, you complain: if no presence of military establishment, you complain.
Only God knows what can please these people.
It's clear they don't know what they want, just hate and hate and hate !!!!!!

The thing that can please them is establishing industries, federal schools, army university, rail system, good federal roads, and airports as established in the north.

They are tired of army and police barracks...

When will you get tired of cheating other people for your selfish end?

“The Nigerian Army remains a credible institution that unites the country and has no place for ethno-religious sentiments. We shall continue to carry out our constitutional tasks objectively across the country and remain totally apolitical.”

This statement would have been believed, but see this and tell if they are right...

Soldiers escort herdsmen to Ogun villages, flog residents for rejecting herders...pic 1

Afamed:
But IPoB told una Buhari died and long have been buried ?

But that's is not the topic here?

There are many things this government said that is entirely false, as well.

Do you know Lai and Adeshina? Do you agree with all they have said?

Please stay away from here if you have nothing to say.

Thanks

0m0nnakoda:
So Ibos are the only ones suffering in Nigeria?
IIjaws and Tivs are enjoying Buhari?


Igbos need to learn silence and stop attention seeking behaviour

So why are the Yorubas and the northerners, the major ones enjoying everything?

Ijaws weren't silent till they got huge amnesty funds...

The Tivs are northerners.

So what are you all about?

Besides what is the population of the Tivs compared with the Igbos?

When you marginalize a huge population, you get into trouble.

BKayy:
Everything takes time.
What I posted earlier is what the future will look like. Many (eg Ndigbo) will start their own journey very soon while others will join in later (probably a century or more later) but the end point will be what I posted.

This will be it...if it can be achieved, with less violence and shedding of the blood of the innocent.

Afamed:
Buhari or Jubril El Sudan? Confirmed confused IPoB

Please don't bring your confusion with IPOB here. What about ISWAP, Boko H, Fulani herdsmen, northern bandits, etc, etc?

Why do you see IPOB everywhere?

This topic is how to manage Nigeria with its vast diversity...as stated in sections of your One Nigeria constitution...

BKayy:
Like it or not, if not today, when the black gorillas in Nigeria mature due to the exposure they get when they reach Europe, Nigeria will be broken into pieces maintaining ethnic lines.
As for Governance, Republic system or Federation is not a must.
For instance,

Yorubas have no business with unitary Republican system but Federation.

Bini have ZERO, I repeat Zero business with Republican system. They will switch back to Monarchy

The North is already a Sultanate.

Ndigbo, whether some people like it or not will maintain Full Republican system with a high degree of Autonomy to various quarters.

I totally agree with you.

But will it be possible to go the stretch at once?

gwarotango:
No actually I don't. I just pointed out the fact that the OP posted a sensational headline to get viewers who will post without even reading the article

The OP didn't post any false headline...

Are you enlightened to understand how to view a link as source?

BKayy:
I'm ashamed of this your post.
"Colonial masters ensure for their colony"

More like slaves hoping on their God

If you didn't wait for your god, Biafra would have gone in 1967?

The colonialist are still strong till today.

Please calm down..

gwarotango:
Misleading headline

What else did you find wrong in the story?

Do you like the system of government Nigeria state is operating?

BKayy:
Andorra is more populous than
Leicheistein, about 37k
Monaco, 38k
San Marino 33k

No European country is made up of useless conglomeration of ethnic stupidity.
Such madness is reserved for Semi humans like Blacks (excuse my French), who the Europeans believe are not human enough to have countries like they do. Infact, none of them recognise your languages and None of them speak another countries (ethnic group) language as official language like the black gorrilas do.
Ethnic groups is what you call countries in Europe

Even in the UK, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are recognised as Countries.
Britain is just the name of the Island

So I don't understand that your "Autonomous" brouhaha.

I agree, but where you entrapped in false pseudo-federal government with great powers at the center, having autonomous regions is far better. And as you know, it appears, it will be very difficult to have a total separation, as we are seeing today.

meccuno:
I was referring to the imperialist from France. And other Western powers that are hypocrites. What the fvck is diversity

The best for the colonial masters of Africa is to ensure to their colonies practice confederation, so that the tribes can develop at their own pace, than a particular tribe dominating others. With this, their won't be any much interest heading the central government.

Nigeria type of governance is heavily flawed.

meccuno:
. it's really funny how these Europeans and western countries preach to us on how to manage diversity while they themselves have experienced the same issues we have now many years ago. If diversity was that important, Yugoslavia and the former USSR would still be countries today. The colonialist have 80% to blame for the problems in Africa since they have toppled most government who seek a better future for their citizens and installed puppets who protect their interest. These useless people still have the guts to preach to us about diversity. My the god of thunder visit them all.

You don't have t cross out the post...

Mbeki was short of saying that the large countries in Africa should go like the Yugoslavia and USSR, if they cannot handle their diversity.

klonboi:


UN should Keep deceiving themself on this unity in diversity shit
A nation comprises of people of same tribe.

why is it only in Afica?

Have you seen any western country with diverse ethnicity?
Its only in Britain and currently they have secessionists wanting to pullout, greedy people!

Nigeria will loose this time

All that game will fall before Gowon, Obasanjo, Babangida and Buhari they will live to see hOw nigeria will pieces:

I am surprised that ANDORRA is about 77,006 in population.

The worse part is that the people of the region cannot even do some of the projects like rail system and federal roads, as they are in the exclusive list.

This is strangulating a people.

Regions should have autonomy to progress at their own pace.

There should be peace in the country, when most people are happy.

PrinceOfLagos:
Buhari should come down from his high horse and publicly apologies to the Igbo people

And promise never to hate or talk carelessly of the Igbo tribe blessed by God

May God almighty continue to bless and protect the good people of south east

I don't know why the leaders of this country find ot difficult to share the resources of the country in a more equitable way.

A government will come and projects will be sited in the north and SW all time.

When another government comes they will site more in the two regions, and tell the East to be patient as their is no money for projects in their region.

Today the SE as small as it is, has the worse Federal roads in the country.

No one can mention one large federal investment in the region that employees people, other than army and police barracks.

No airports, rail system, industries, etc,

How do they leaders think that the youths of the region will continue to be patient?

It is not too late to do the right thing.

Nigeria crisis is especially in the SE is largely due to persistent marginalization from the central government.

It should be noted that this didn't start with this present government.

Its like a hidden policy that the region should be punished since after the war.

The SE people are the most one Nigerians by action and by deed, but they are not treated like the other regions, among the tripod that founded Nigeria.

This has raised agitation in the region, especially after 1999, when MASSOB was created.

To resolve the issues, dialogue should be used, instead of power of force.

The United Nations Security Council has been told that the failure of Nigerian leaders to deal with diversity was the root cause of the Biafran crisis.

The person who made the presentation, was South Africa´s former president Thabo Mbeki, who lived in Nigeria for a few years in the late 70s during the anti-apartheid struggle.

Mbeki addressed the UN Security Council on Tuesday and listed African countries, apart from Nigeria, where the failure to deal with diversity was a root cause of conflict.

He blamed the current clashes in Ethiopia´s Tigray region, also on the failure to manage diversity.

Mbeki recalled that the Nigerian government was victorious against secessionist-seeking Biafra 50 years ago and its leaders announced “that they would follow a policy of no victor, no vanquished.”

Looking at the “painful example” of the ongoing conflict between the Ethiopian government and ethnic Tigrayans, Mbeki said, “this is exactly what Ethiopia needs.

Thabo Mbeki cited “the centrality of failure properly to manage diversity” in the conflicts in Congo, Burundi, Ivory Coast and Sudan.

He pointed to the 2004 report of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission “which tells the naked truth, that it was as a result of the failure to manage diversity that the country experienced a very costly 11-year war which started in 1991” — and there is a similar failure to manage diversity “in the violent conflict which has been and is still going on in Cameroon.”

France´s U.N. ambassador, Nicolas De Riviere, had some additions.

In the Sahel region stretching across northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea, “terrorist groups use differences to stir up hatred between communities,” he said.

And ethnic and religious violence is also prevalent in the Middle East including Iraq, Yemen and Syria.

They spoke at a U.N. Security Council meeting on “Diversity, State Building and the Search for Peace” that was organized by Kenya, which holds the council presidency this month, and chaired by its president, Uhuru

“The key message I wish to deliver today is that poor management of diversity is leading to grave threats to international peace and security,” Kenyatta said.

He said inequality within and between countries “is too often the result of exclusion on the basis of identity” that becomes institutionalized in governments and in economic relations.

davinchecodes:
Biafra liberation front (BLF)
Biafra motherland warriors (BMW)
Biafra defense front (BDF)

They are many like over 100 groups

That's what I am saying...

Almost everybody is pointing at IPOB, but others could be involved.

I pray the FG should do everything possible to reduce the tension as it could get out of hand quickly.

There is nothing wrong in setting up a federal panel to look at the issues, even in short term.

The recent crisis in the south east of Nigeria have been largely blamed on the banned IPOB group, but this group have consistently denied any involvement in the killings there.

Also recently, senator Abaribe has stated that there are about 30 pro agitation group in the region.

I have done a little search and found these groups.

The issue here is that many people only know IPOB, so this piece is to educate more people in understanding the complex nature of what could be happening in the SE.

Personally, I will advocate dialogue in resolving the issues as the groups are agitating for the same thing.

With Justice, equity and fairness, peace will reign.


List of some of the groups....

Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB,
Eastern Peoples’ Congress (EPC),
Biafra United Liberation Council (BULCO),
Joint Revolutionary Council of Biafra (JRCB),
Igbo Hebrew Cultural Restoration
Biafra Actualization and Defence Squad.
Biafra Revolutionary Organization (BRO),
Biafra Liberation Crusade (BLC),
Salvation Peoples of Biafra,
Ekwenche Organization,
Biafra Peace Corps,
BILLIE Human Rights Initiatives
Igbozurume Organization.
IPOB
Biafra Zion Movement (BZM)
Biafra Independent Movement )BIM)
Baifra Nations Youth league ) BNYL)
Biafra Zionist Federation (BZF)

NGpatriot:
This Jihadi ipobian terrorist is one of the imported bandits from the north that drunkard obiano was talking about.

These terrorists are issuing terroris threats, telling us what the are about to do, but when eventually they slaughter innocent people, their kind and drunkard leaders will blame it on imported bandits..


Something is wrong with the people in that region..

The lady is not Igbo..and I believe she is frustrated by the actions of the leaders from the SE.

They do not stand by their people for any reason like the northern and western leaders..

Even Buhari supported BH before he became president. When he said attack on BH is attack against the north.

The northern leaders have not openly cristisized the groups in the north.

Even the Cowrie founder said that bandits in the north are freedom fighters.

The Yoruba leaders, even Obasanjo and Ooni cautions the FG to treat Sunday Igboho with care...in their meetings.

Now what has the eastern leaders do?

Nothing.

Only Ezeife and Abaribe are trying to support their people.

Newton85:
Shut the Bleep up, the person I'm replying is an Eboe. The Unongo man was Zik's political slave so what did you expect him to say? If preventing an Eboe like Zik from being the Premier of the Western Region is what Eboes term "tribalism," then tribalism is very good. Your emotional manipulations do not work on us. You hypocritical Eboe bigots won't allow non-Eboes to rule in your land but you will begin crying "tribalism!" when others do the same to you in their land. Manipulative crybabies!

So Unongo, Sanusi and Tanko Yakassi are Ziks slaves?

This slow Yoruba man self...larching on Eboes...for his known fault..

The Igbos rejects Ojukwu...but the Yaribas due to tribalism chose Falae than Obasanjo...in 1999.

Everyone in Nigeria knows the Yaribas own tribalism than the Eboes.
