The whole of SE is so poor that hthey don't even have enough money to buy guguru and ekpa..


And the foolish losers are doing sit at home to cripple their already crippled and worthless economy..


Just give them their biafra and partition it away from us..

South East are so poor? Na wahoooo.

Take am easy bros...

If the SE governors collect tenement rates or fees from properties alone..., it will dwarf the IGR of almost all the 19 northern states...Also remember people of SE own many properties in those northern states compared to people from the northern states do in the East.

Top Igbos have been leaving Nigeria to foreign lands in their numbers.

They are doing so because of lack of opportunities in their home country,as a result of political issues.

They move abroad where their skills are highly needed to the detriment of Nigeria.

NIgeria will suffer ultimately at the end.

Take a look.

Good to know that with all your chest-beating, made-up tales and pontification, you still need Yoruba people to determine your own future and destiny? If Yoruba people don't seek sovereignty, what next? You won't seek yours?

As I said, you people don't read the rubbish you type before posting..

You need to calm down,

Everybody knows who wanted it more and have died to want out...

You are a bitter loser with no composure.

plaindealer:
Are you the white reporter or you and your kind on Biafra Facebok and whatsap group?

The Whiteman forgot to show you proof or give you link?

The reason I have gibe you a proof as at today.

PoloG:
it was an igbo coup because when ojukwu and ironsi took over, they didn't prosecute the coupists

I told you to use more education..

1966 coup plotters planned to make Awolowo Head of State — Oba Olutoye

https://punchng.com/1966-coup-plotters-planned-make-awolowo-head-state-olutoye/


This is from your regional newspaper and an Oba an actor...

It was never Igbo coup as the Igbos were at the top and they needed no coup to go further.

Igbos never told anyone to help them using a coup.

Was Dimka coup..Tiv coup?

Stop your lying and deception...and use your brain for once.

PoloG:
highest goal scorer from nigeria is rashidi yekini lol...

Best players are from East...

Chukwu, Kanu, Jay Jay, Mikel, Ndidi, Ihenacho, etc,

PoloG:

if I should deal with these one nah
the biased mod will start deleting my comment

Defeated man..

The one that was posted that was responded to wasn't deleted, ogben--i.

PoloG:
can't you read?why will have all this online acheievements according your ipob statistics and still want ahead to plan a coup that destroyed regionalism?

You really need more education...

I was saying that the coup was not Igbo coup as they had all that...ging some examples...with the Dimka coup.

Do you want me to break it down to you further?

PoloG:
which afcon? Even small ghana and unstable cameroon have more afcon than us

It is because your team is often spiced with poor players from your region...to achieve quota system.

When they won it recently, it was made up of almost people from SE.

plaindealer:
[s][/s]

What's this rubbish got to do with the silly and ill-informed topic?

Why are you people so depthless and comical?

It has to do with your capital city of the West and the capital city of the East.

The white reporter was right in his assessment of the regions..then..and even now.

It is comic to you as your propaganda has been whittled....

PoloG:
useless footbal team that will be defeated by Benin republic on Saturday?
Compare your igbo infested SE to Senegal team

When they won AFCON...they were not useless...?

What will you compare your afon--ja infested SW team?

plaindealer:
You people just makeup rubbish on your blog site and litter the internet with it.

The all the industries were in the SW, banking and finance, advertisement, marketing, ports, airport, the largest population of people with disposable income and so on and so on, including the first and only in Nigeria and Africa infrastructures from the first skyscrapers to the first TV station, first modern stadium, industrial estates, supermarkets like Kingsway, but the SE with absolutely nothing and zero economic relevance was the fastest rising economy?

Put that rubbish back under your bed..


SMH..

Pic1 Ibadan...before and after...

pic2- Enugu after the war

PoloG:
who is holding you guys lol...?
You idiots overrate yourselfs ... you are incosequential and not important.. you don't offer anything apart from chestbeating
Nobody is holding you. Go and protest at the UN headquarte in America and tell them you want biafra.. stop saying we are holding you. ...
You know you would have had your biafra if only your greedy ojukwu had limited his map to only igboland

Lame from a bitter dying vul-turaaa.

Overrated yet they make up more than 60% of your national football team at any time...

PoloG:
you have all this and you still planned a coup that killed nigeria..
fucking idiots

Look at the diseased vult--turaaa.

Go to school, you refuse...

Am I the reason history was removed from your school system..?

Now, how come the coup headed by an SS man that involved all tribes be planned by me?

When Murtala was killed in a coup, was it the Benue people that planned it?

Igbos where everywhere in the civil service, including heading Unilag and University of Ibadan and rector of Yaba tech...so why what else would they want?

You need more enlightenment...and more education, ogbe-ni.

triple996:

Is that not madness....?

They say you are a snitch, a snake...a backstabber, and they have been killed as they want to stay away from you...but you hate them but will not want them to go from you...What would you call that?

It's insanity...madness...height of hypocrisy...and utter dumbness.

They also introduced Oluwole and Jankara...

QuotasSystem:
At this beautiful, momentous occasion, all patriotic Nigerians are united against the "Igbo Unknown Gunmen" just like the killer herdsmen.

Kindly sheathe your sword bro. The only people pumping tears are unknown gunmen and their spineless supporters club.

Exactly...

Just like they are united for BokoH and killer herdsmen and quota system...

Don't you see how Nigerians are very united and very prosperous and happy?

Omoluabi1stborn:
But you be been in government since 1959 till 2015.
Have you asked those you elected?

Or nah Yoruba cause that?
When sarudana was agitating for separate North and South, did zik listen? Abi nah Yoruba cause am.

She awolowo was telling zik to include secession in constitution, Zik listen?

Or when this guy from Niger delta region agitate for their republic who stopped him?

Now that you be lose out of power play, youre now agitating for your Biafra who does that.

This country ehn, everyone knows her place, enjoy while it last.
Meanwhile we will continue to supply IMO and anambra gas to the North via Kogi state.

That's One Nigeria Zik campaign for.


Lastly, when those unknown gunmen killed police officers you guys were rejoicing.
Or should I give you the reference to the thread ?

Yes those elected have been asked and they are there just for their pockets..

When these guys tried to force them to act...(pic) you grumpy fellows were like...you guys wake up your parents with a kick.

So what do you want them to do now?

Suffer in silence?

Omoluabi1stborn:
Once this bucket is full.
Fill the next one with tears

Ogbe=ni stop fulling your imaginary buckets from Dahomey refugee camp..

Habbba!

Shooo!

Omoluabi1stborn:
So it can pain you guys ?

Which pain?

We are talking about injustice...you lowly fellow is talking about pain.

Are you pained by the killings by Boko H and Miyetti allah killers of innocent citizens and security forces?

Can you show images of where they have been killed in numbers?

Why is that of SE different?

Everything abiout SE is different.

You are building infrastructure...you give them none or less.

You gave them 5 states and gave others 6.

When you wan to share TOLL GATES, you gave them 2 roads, as you gave others with 6 states..

How is there fairness in that?

Those guys have more to complain about that BokoH and Fulani herdsmen you guys are supporting.

There won't be need for this if there was fairness in the land.

Omoluabi1stborn:
Make I bring bucket bros

I'm enjoying your cry

...refugee touts can never be held to intelligent conversation.

People reading Nairaland are not only Nigerians...

They know who is silly, empty and showing their ethnic colors.

kwantinue...

Omoluabi1stborn:
They will claim they are the wisest tribe in the whole world

Yoruba man..You have been jumping up and down since this news came out.

This does not concern you in far away Benin IDP camp.

Very soon you will ask them to mind their business as you Yorubas know how to solve your problem.

Now...

Boko thugs wants the same thing as these guys.

They have killed more soldiers than these guys.

So why don't the army eliminate the BH guys as much as they do these guys?

Why treat them differently?

This is the one million... One NIGERIA question.

Pic = Boko members.

When did Abiola, Tinubu run away, when oo oga ipob
