And, you call the militants "brutal." You call them brutal because you have no army! Ask your dad about Biafran Forces! That is , if he were borne then!

he doesn't know there were biafran soldiers whom I'm the face of imminent defeat of owerri with depleted ammunition held their ground ..sending a letter to Alexander Madiebo saying.... WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU...they held owerri irrespective of the British and Russian bombardments by migs and tank supplies.... they lost but we will never forget them.

Osaze007:
You only show us love cause you need access to sea lol

another very stupid post... Israel has no access to the sea and so do a couple of western European nations.

Ekpeitit:
It's funny how you guys keep saying people claiming to be from South South ,what makes you think that there are no Niger Delta people on Nairaland?
The Niger Delta people know very well that Igbos should never be trusted and will never go with your Biafra, we also know that if you were not landlocked and we did not have oil Igbo people would never have invited us into their so called Biafra.
Let me ask you something, let's say Akwa Ibom State where I come from decide to join your useless Biafra, what will we gain from that?
What do the Igbos bring to the table,we have oil,what do you have?
You have nothing but the dream to use our oil to develop your Igbo communities.
We don't need you,you need us.
Please form your Igbo Biafra and leave us out of your nonsense.
Ndisime ndito uneghe.
I must emphasize that I am Ibibio not Yoruba.

clearly you are very unintelligent. Let's start with resources. What do you think the British used in funding the EASTERN region, before the official declaration of oil discovery. There was coal, palmoil, bitumen, limestone etc it's really ediotic for someone to think there's oil in ph but no oil in owerri...lol... pls educate yourself. Anambra has the largest gas reserve in the country. Fg doesnt want to touch it. Why do you think pipes were laid all the way from Abia to ph? Fg tried this propaganda that the core east has no resources, we just dey laff....pls open wikipaedia and read about all the eastern states.

Teena18:
LMAO...you're angry o.
Well, Oscars aren't always about how awesome the movie is but also the actors and She is known internationally so might be a plus.
Also, the movie was not that bad just unrealistic ��

pls genieve by international standards isnt a gud actress....someone that can only play diva even when shes playing house help shes a diva. I saw beast of no nation and those ghananian kids by far are better than most of our s I'll called actors...

KingOdart:
You are the clown here

So not liking Lion heart is tribalism?

wawu pls clean your glasses and read my post again

justtoodark:
haha....

shuuuhhh na typo ooooooooookk... I meant people.

Ishilove:
What are you writing, nitori Olorun? Your post contains the names of two literary giants (Soyinka is a Colossus), yet you can't string an intelligible composition together?

colossal giant beside who? So when Stephen king dey talk you'll call soyinka... I'm not in an ielts class, but I know I scored a band 8. You cannot match me in lexis and structure. This na nairaland oga

Teena18:
I think the actors are cool and everything was ok but Oscar?? Really?? Have you guys watched Oscar winning movies??
All the best though, I'm happy we(Nigeria) even had the chance to submit a movie

or to go and disgrace ourselves....half of a yellow sun sef isnt an oscar movie. Come be that joke of a movie lion heart. Dialgue..0, acting...0, scripting ....0, picture.....0, directing .....000000... That's what will represent us in oscars.. they'll now be clapping like when you see a monkey ride a bicycle and the world call it a genius monkey.

nunnu:
You sure do have very low standards.

that's what the white man has done to him.... LOWERED HIS STANDSRDS AND KEPT HIM IN SOAP OPERA STATUS.

DHonorable:
Lionheart still remains the bullet that made the most impact in the Nigerian movie industry& Africa scene at large.
Genevieve nnaji woke the creative minds that were asleep. Demonstrated patriotism using Nigerians made cars and extracts, best casts and talents.
The movie garnered more than what was expected.
Being her first directed play on screen and at that made such exploit; Lionheart deserves Oscar and other noble awards.
Nollywood is no longer a joke industry. Directors are now woke. They now know there are standards.
I expect more from them. But then, let appreciate & applaud Lionheart irrespective of your tribe. Like it or leave it, history was made by Genevieve nnaji

so after watching infinity wars you'll then switch to lion heart.....looollllllll....

iSlayer:
All these people crying have just started. I'm confident Genny will hit them with another one soon. Remember she got over a billion naira from Lionheart.

na so. All these lying celebrities...when furs follow am u go hear truth

Originalsly:
I've seen wayyyyy better movies than Lionheart. If that is the one being nominated for the Oscars.... then I don't ever want to see the rest that were in the running. To me... Lionheart was veryyyy disappointing....no doubt... I can't think of any movie Genevieve was in that was such a ehmmm.... disaster. It was not engaging period.... no direction.... no suspense.... in fact... I couldn't even follow what was going on.... so bad that the movie could've ended at any moment.... I wished it did earlier instead of just plodding along forever and ever before amen the end. So why should this movie represent Nigeria ? People would be reasoning if this is the best... then let me stay clear of other movies from this region. it is better no movie be nominated than this piece of ....

EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYYY

KingOdart:
The movie was submitted by Nigerian committee it was not chosen by whites


There is no need to display your hatred for Soyinka and Yoruba.

Read and comprehend before you comment.

you're a clown... read my past posts , youd see soyinka is one the few yoruba figures we all respect for always speaking the truth. That being said, have you seen the calibre of movie nominated for oscars? If an oyibo did a movie like lion heart do you even think Telemundo would play it. Honestly you guys need to drop tribalism. Its doesnt help us. So while others are talking of avenger movies. The Indians bringing their own top notch movies we are being awarded for a joke and were happy.....

itu404:
Don't buy your opinion, bro. Another thing, it was not a nobel price for peace, but for literature that was conferred on Soyinka.

well it was still an award which serves as standard for us... an award they wouldnt gve to their own people in that category. They reduce our standards to keep us down

Alanpoza007:
Idiotic tribal bigot.. You who doesn't even know the difference between Nobel Peace Prize and Nobel Prize in Literature also think he has an opinion.. what a pity.

all these fools sef..... I love wole soyinka, atleast hes one of the few yoruba figures that's not blinded by nepotism and speaks truths. This doesnt justify why the white man gave him a Nobel status. Now we all use him as a standard, when in real facts, the literal works he was awarded for will not get even a community recognition in the west. They lower our standards to keep us down. The same thing they do in science. An african assembles a toy car and hes given awards, that are only given to oyibo that have developed nuclear theories and adam bombs. So the everybody looks up to the african awarded as a standard not knowing the worlds left them behind. He becomes the standard

Loooooooooooooooooooooolll...hve we developed our mining sector sef?

You dont know what transpired btw him and ur mum ie if she frustrated his efforts in seeing you, or he was just a deadbeat. .... just find and ask him why he abandoned you? If hes a toxic person hell start giving you excuses....... if hes not you'll see it in his body lNguage. You're even lucky hes still alive. Do his wealth of knowledge now you're all grown up is priceless. Trust me some of us are wishing we have recordings of teachings from our late dads.. as you grow you realise hes more useful as a man. Tap from that wealth of knowledge..so you dont fall into the same predicament or situation he hot into and your child meeting you we years later.

Where burna papa sef....na hit and run or.....

walewriter:
But why bring Prof. Wole Soyinka into this? Yes, he won the Nobel prize but most importantly he has justified why he belongs with the best in literature and has continued to do that in the years after. Prof. Soyinka's 'The man died' is a great read. Go check it out.

I've read it. It's not even upto 600 pages...anyways I love him but the whites are destroying our standards..

Are u kidding me. That shitty movie or soap.....these whites must really want to destroy our standards.... that's how they conferred noble peace price on wole soyinka with the likes of trials of brother Jerome but even they mke their own standards so high...ie Stephen king's etc they really wanna destroy blacks all round...

There are igbo speaking local goats in akwaibom mostly on the outskirts. I have personally been to one near USAKA hills. Educate yourself bro

Kapeter:
the man is full time Nigerian. He's based in Abuja, his wife is Colombian, i think he is Hausa, his daughter speaks hausa often from videos on his tls. His twitter handle is @whiteNigerian.

There are many of them like him from the relationship between hausas and malaysia people mostly. I come across them often times on twitter.

yes there are Lebanese that have been in nigeria for over 200 hundred years. True.

Buhari has set a trend....in africa..

Duchessree:
Damn!, the hair. Her hair is so pretty

u mean her attachment....

Biafrannuke:
Onitsha wasnt originally Igbo? pls explain.

read the history of onitsha. The original settlers...

Osagyefo98:
I reserve my Judgement on this because there are distortions.

But let me quickly correct this


4. Anambra State
Anambra is a state in southeastern Nigeria. Its name was inspired by one of its Northern and riverine clans Anam but merged with “branch”.

Language spoken: Igala and Igbo are the major languages of Anambra state



Please and please Igala is not a language in anambra state, let alone been a major language.

There is nothing like Igala language in anambra state pls.

oh you're very erong... there's igzla but they're a minority.. onitsha wasn't originally igbo...

Does she want to keep the child?!!!!!! Is she mad?!!!!

For me
.I think as immature kids ee always tilt towards our mother but when we grow into men and become fathers, then we realise our dads were the real heroes. They sacrificed everything for us...unfortunately most dads hVe overworked themselves and died b4 we come to thank them... beru sad cycle. My d as d said this and its si sad I cnt show him all the love he deserved ...now

It's funny during the slave trade..all these eastern ports accommodated very large ships, before the civil war the calabar port was competing with apapa....suddenly thecports hve so many problems. Gove us resource control let's mke the ports work. No. Meanwhile we have naval bases allover there...

Maniagist1:
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked state governors not to fix federal roads if they will eventually demand refund for the rehabilitation.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, made this known on Tuesday in Abuja when he appeared before the House of Representatives’ Ad Hoc Committee on Abandoned Federal Government Projects (Works) from 1999 till date.

According to the minister, the President issued the directive due to the humongous amounts being claimed by the governors after repairing federal roads in their states.

Fashola said, “The states submitted a bill of almost a trillion naira when President Buhari was elected. He asked us to work out what was their entitlement and all of that.

Ultimately, the BPP (the Bureau of Public Procurement) certified about N44bn – I don’t remember the exact amount now, except for two states; I think Cross River and there’s another state. They didn’t have the documents at the time, which we have sent back to the President.

But the decision to pay those inherited debts, including the ones I contracted as Governor of Lagos, was with the caveat that I should tell the governors to leave his (Buhari’s) roads alone. Those were the directives; I was not the one that took the decision.

He said, ‘Tell them not to fix my roads again if they’re going to claim compensation. If you want to fix it and not ask for compensation, send me what you want to do.

But if you want compensation, go and mind your business while I mind my business because I have inherited enough debts,

Fashola, while responding to the conversation by the Francis Uduyok-led panel that the ministry was overstretching itself by handling 472 road projects at once, said that the incessant demands by lawmakers were partly responsible.

He blamed abandoned projects on incessant budget cut.

its simple handover the roads to the stare.....let them have jurisdiction there.

Saintmary:
When you blame the victim, you are indirectly hailing the perpetrator.
During locker room talk, be honest, is it not common for Nigerian males to hail their friends who 'score' unwanted sex from females? Is that not a form of education?

I dont know which sex depraved rock you grew up in....in my naija, if you tell me you raped someone, I will definitely not let it slide. I hve sisters and a mother, (happily married ).

Martinez39:
This is a very big lie. Rape is not celebrated in Nigeria. It's nobody's fault that you have decided to have a victim mentality. Remind me, which rapist in Nigeria has been hailed as a hero by anyone?

I told you nigerian girls like these have a mental problem. Which is why when they go abroad they'll be begging right and left for husband when they find one naive guy that marries them, they destroy his life....cos zZnigerian men need to be taught a lesson.
