Lol... okay continue in your beautiful delusion, and maaybe in 10 years I would be glad to know where it has advanced you to. Goodluck!

Delusion because you say so?
Okay.

I will leave you with two things
1- Be proud of who you are
2- I agree with you that Igbo and Yoruba are hurting themselves- meaning the Northerners WIN.

obailala:

You seem not to have gotten my simple point. Firstly I am not Yoruba, and yes I am from the SE; but I happen to be one of those who don't believe in the age long propaganda that the rest of Nigeria is just out to do nothing but hunt Igbos. I believe every other tribe is simply hustling for their collective daily bread and Igbos should be doing same instead of always lamenting and accusing every one else of witch-hunting. In summary, I fall into the category of Igbos fondly labelled as 'efulefu' because I dare to see and reason things differently from the crowd.

And regarding Ambode, there is hardly any state in Nigeria where governments dont demolish market stalls of innocent masses, It happened in warri, it happened in kaduna, abuja, portharcourt, owerri, benin, onitsha etc. and the stories have always been similar with the government not giving enough time for traders to move out their goods. My worry however is the way in which Igbos of recent have always quickly labelled every single problem of such nature as a pre-determined tribal assault specifically targeted against Igbos. This continued paranoid stance only has one effect, it will force more Igbos to hate other tribes especially their hosts wherever they go and this hate will consequently lead to the hosts hating Igbos in return. In a nutshell, this continued paranoia is not healthy for the welfare of Igbos or anyone at all.

Now your mind is already 100% made up that Oshodi market was demolished by Ambode purely because Ambode hates Igbos. This is the exact precedence I am talking about, it is a very unhealthy mindset which will neither help you nor the general Igbo society across Nigeria. But unfortunately, many Igbos have already been caught by this bug.

If you are Igbo then I am Kanuri.
YOU ARE A YORUBA PERSON.

Rest of Nigeria is NOT attacking Igbo
We know who is attacking Igbo - albeit recently with malice in rhetoric and actions to boot
Leave others alone - they do not bother Igbo.

ZiggyMr:
U pple should stop complaining, if lagos is not habitable for you... go back to ur village must u all live n die in the west? You pple are becoming eyesore to us abeg.

Evaluate your post closely and determine who is really complaining?

ZiggyMr:

Ambode is very weak, na u sabi dat 1... why nt go to Enugu and other erosion ravaged states whr there govnor isn't weak.. yeye pple

Continue with the Igbo hate all you want. That is your own headache. And yes Ambode is weak and controlled by your OBA and others. He is proving to be a myopic sectional tribal leader.

obailala:

Firstly, not everyone that doesn't agree with the general widespread story that Igbos are being oppressed by the rest of Nigeria is a Yoruba person, there are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria and there are also some Igbos too who don't agree with this age long propaganda.

Secondly, Nigeria is a country greatly divided along the ethnic lines, there is basically no tribe that doesn't hate or mistrust the other. Yorubas hate /mistrust Igbos and likewise, Igbos hate and mistrust Yorubas. But something that cannot be disputed is the fact that somehow, these 2 tribes have managed to co-exist peacefully in Lagos and other areas of the SW for a long time. Besides in the volatile north, there is basically nowhere in Nigeria where Igbos are not living peacefully and prospering. So my problem is, why do we want to deliberately break this peace?

Since the elections of 2015, some groups have continued to fuel and escalate this tribal hatred, a lot of Igbos like yourself have obviously fallen victim of this treachery. I do not know what some of you hope to achieve if Yorubas and Igbos eventually fail to see eye to eye. Every single thing is now painted as ‘a deliberate assault on Igbos’ and this further forces more neutral Igbos to hate Yorubas. I wonder what you hope to achieve with this.

Now you accuse Ambode of hating Igbos and deliberately destroying their markets exclusively to punish Igbos. No doubt, the government was wicked and irresponsible by not letting enough time for traders to move their things, but I wonder where you have arrived at your conclusion from that this was done because Ambode hates Igbos and wanted to punish Igbos. This is not the first time we heard of such accusation, the last time it was that 'Fashola hates and deports Igbos,' even though the same Fashola also deported Yorubas to some SW states too. Once again I ask, do you honestly think such a paranoid mindset (which can only fuel tribal hate), do you honestly think this mindset would be beneficial to anyone?.. If you honestly think it is beneficial, or it will be beneficial, then continue.

At least your post is reasoned not the senseless insults some throw around here. My suggestions is that you ask your leaders such as Ambode and the Deji that SPECIALIZE in assaulting Igbos and creating tribal hate between Igbo and Yoruba? FYI Ambode is a very weak leader and he is likely just carrying out the OBA's instructions.

obailala:
That glass ceiling can only be broken by Igbos themselves by properly strategising and building the right political ties. The glass ceiling can never be broken by accusing and antagonising[b] everyone else[/b][b][/b], the glass ceiling can never be broken by isolating one's self.

FYI honey - That SOME Yoruba people like yourself or Ambode or your OBA or Dr Arriyo in Texas (not all Yoruba ofcourse, but some) hate Igbo people is Not Everyone else hating Igbo. For example - Igbos live next to Idoma people - no Problems there. They intermarry and trade.

FYI - Igbos like every other Nigerian groups have every right to be in Lagos - the former federal capital. Igbos are there in Lagos and have BOUGHT property (meaning the own) and made investments there worth billions.

LASTLY - If any Yoruba person chooses to please go and make Investments in the EAST - it is also your right. No one is stopping you.

Jdesilentkiller:
I am no economist but I heard China is suffering some economic conundrums as big as it is. The dwindling price of crude has affected many countries with Saudi Arabia, Venezuela etc facing bleak future...... Does it occure to you lots that with the present realities, Nigeria will not move economically as we expected it to.....knowing fully that the Gov't is in a transitional phase with monumental corruption recorded in all sectors from the last administration...and we all know corruption is still fighting back.....give this Gov't a break and judge it when everything stablize...

Its tooooooo early to judge bro.

Sensible comment. Not all these reflective ethnic comments like leave our daughter alone.

PMB losing Integrity?? Says the fat man that said call me bastard if Buhari wins.

Well Okupe you are a lying fat bastard!!!

banku:
That explains why you lost the war, big time!

Like that guy said - park for gutter jor!

If Igbo make am that means it is still Nigerian made. So just allow the guy to wallow in his ethnocentric rubbish

NaijaTalkTown:
I just don't celebrate mediocrity when I see one. Boko Haram has tons of Igirigi in their possession. We are way behind other African countries militarily. Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Tunisia, Morocco produce better APCs in their military. The Igirigi Armoured Personnel Carrier is the same vehicle that Nigerian soldiers use to for transportation in war zones and the Boko boys still find it easy to ambush them, kill them and seize the vehicle. This APC you are celebrating cannot withstand one locally made rocket attack. Terrorism in Nigeria gives us an opportunity to upgrade our military but the likes of Dasuki are stealing the money and citizens who are supposed to charge the Army up has little knowledge of what the military that is protecting them is all about.

Again opinion is like a**hole every one got one.
Rather than celebrate Nigeria's export you sit there and critique and are just negative.

We are NOT behind the North African countries you mention. Egypt and the rest are there consumed with their own internal security problems. They have their problems and we have ours. Simple.

For me - Nigeria is making progress. The fundamentals are in place.

hahn:
Does the Name Checkers Association still exist?

No. Criminals can come from every tribe.

God Bless Nigeria

TheMascot:
so.. a south south did not exist before buhari came in..bros e do..your stupidity is like the blessings of Abraham.. its passed from generation to generation

So- called South South is NOT a tribe.
SS is IBB creation. A fabrication.
Igbos are present in the SS/SE.

OgbeifunErom:
The best President Nigeria has ever had!

Despite opposition from IPOB Youths, the majority of Nigerians are fully behind you sir!

I am just glad that you did not say Igbo Youths. Bc Ipob is on their own.

martineverest:
when kachikwu was appointed,u were the first to at he's not Ibo...ikas culture is 80% bini culture

Abeg stop making things up - when did I say that?

Dr. Ibe Kachikwu a bona fide Igbo man with daughter named Nkemdilim is not Igbo bc you say so? Okay he is Kanuri from Borno.

Second - Edo people will never even allow Dr. Kachikwu to smell council chairman or become governor in Benin.

Last - you talk and give estimates like you know more than President Buhari and all of us combined.

I m sure the world is flat in your head

martineverest:
kachikwu and emefiele are ikas not anioma...ikas and ikwerre traced their root to bini kingdom.. They hate being called ibos

Igbo man is an Igbo man.

Your type wants to balkanize and weaken Igbos and turn brother against brother.

Igbos are united in history, language, culture, attitude, looks etc.

Igbos are hardworking, republican in nature and believe in individual self.

Igbo man in Aba is same as Igbo man in PH and is same as Igbo man in Enugu Ezike by Kogi border.

Igbo man in Asaba is same as Igbo man in Onitsha.

Igbos are in SS/ SE.

SS is NOT a tribe for your information

Adebo007:
Buhari is an id!ot, didn't this people protested during last administration? The truth is that they don't have trust or believe in Nigeria anymore nd they hav right to demand their own state,..for hundred plus years nothing is working in this fake marriage by Britain.
We all re shouting one Nigeria but is our hearts we knew we re not, let this country divide coz togetherness is not for our good!!

God Bless Nigeria. We are trying to build a modern stronger Federal Republic of Nigeria where things work. Hopefully you can have a change of heart and contribute

lookandlaff:


Politics is a numbers game, Ibos (core Ibo) don't have the numbers as a block and don't have the trust of the other blocks. I'm very much against tribal politics but I'm just telling you as I gauge the sentiment in our country. Core Ibo, by that I mean the Anambra etc axis cannot become president of this country anytime soon. If you consider Cross river, Akwa Ibom, Rivers etc to be Ibo then that's very possible as other Nigerians see them as Efik, Ijaw etc. Anambra axis has a higher chance of becoming governor of Lagos than becoming president of Nigeria.


Stop playing ethic politics, Ibos are just shooting themselves in the foot if they are really that keen on becoming president. Personally I don't know what difference it makes where the president comes from if govt does it's job likes it's supposed to. Obasanjp was president, we didn't feel his effect in the SW. Jonathan was president, what was the benefit to the common Ibo man. The IBos that benefited are not the ones on Nairaland!! There is nothing in Law that says power must rotate from north to south, those are internal party guidelines. All that is needed if one party fields a core IBO candidate is for the other party to field North/SW, North SS alliance and it's game over.

First IBO IS IBO. Only in your wicked heart does 'core Ibo' exist. Ibo man in Aba is the same as Ibo man in Port Harcourt.
Second - Notice you talk of alliances- so na only Ibo wey no fit get allaince in your head?
Third - If you like keep wishing Ibo bad luck - you are only hurting Yorubas too. Yoruba has had their turn in OBJ. So any time Presidency comes South we know who's turn it is.

Na de typical way brides de feel in charge on their big day.
Nnamdi Uba and Ifeanyi Okowa go just de laugh de chick

Igbo Kwenu!

callmenow:


This is not about Jonathan or KAYODE. It is about the limited freedom that we had that has been taken away. I witnessed an army beat up someone on airport road a few days ago. My rational self prevented me from intervening. Afterwards this innocent guy was bundled (arrested) into a car to be taken away. His crime was that he did not clear the way. I hate KAYODE politics, but his essay is spot on and valid. Where is Oby ezekwesili and her gang of vindictive evil campaigners. Is one thousand lives lost not enough to make her go to ABUJA square? By the way, they said men, women, children, including girls were murdered. Where are the bring back Shia girls campaign?

Please be quiet Mr man.

So Nigeria was such a paradise under Jona and his bastard looters? Dasuki giving away our money and FFK changing girl friends any how while Boko Haram ran buck wild. Now out of power these PDP looters are screaming bloody murder

They all are NOT credible. They were given their chance and they FAILED NIGERIA miserably

callmenow:


Forget the messenger and address the issue he has raised. Even the dreadful obasanjo did not stoop this low. We are looking at the disintegration of Nigeria. Jonathan played a fast one to cede the fraudulent election to Buhari. Buhari has been shown to be what most observers stated before his 'election'. Shallow, vindictive, illiterate, myopic, fraudulent, dictatorial and useless.

Disintegration of Nigeria? Why? Because corrupt PDP is out of power?
PDP agents are just being boombastic. There is a reason Nigerians booted you corrupt failures out. God willing the will stay out of power

callmenow:


KAYODE may be an idiot. His essay is articulate, rational and incisive. He has spoken the truth. Essentially, the government is using the security instruments to intimidate, frustrate, scare the citizen to stupor. This is definitely not a democratic government

Spoken the truth? Which parallel universe do you exist in?? He is nothing but a PDP hack out to discredit PMB

See frustration from this PDP AGENT. FFK you convince no one. THE CAPITAL IDIOT must be running out of money or something and no more Jona to help him. FFK -you never see anything yet. Keep wailing

This PDP idiot sounds so frustrated with being out of power. He must be running out of money already and no more Jona to help him. FFK -you never see anything yet. Keep wailing

PassingShot:
Foolish man. So, he expects Buhari to clear the mess they created for sixteen years in less than one year? Nonsense!

#DasukiGate alone is estimated to be more than $6bn. I am sure by the time we enter #DiezaniGate, #CustomsGate, #SurePGate, and the other Gates, we will be looking at how GEJ slept on while hundred of billion of dollars were stolen from the economy.

I have said it on many occasions that whatever we experience today, this year, and even till early next year, is a result of our wrong decisions of many years back. Not just of today. This is very easy for rational, objective and intelligent persons to understand while the irrational, bias and unintelligent ones will keep spewing trash as usual.


Yeah, fastest growing on paper. Fastest growing indeed! You can tell that to those six feet under.

The PDP mumu is talking out of his ass and we all know it. PDP is a well known entity - corrupt and rejected. I thank God that Nigeria and my home state is NOT under that bankrupt, vision less party

Naijaaaaaaa!!!! Yaaaaayyyyy!!!

RIP Sister. May your killers never know peace again. Feel for the children and husband.

omoelesa:
Buhari is a tribalist, he probaly wants to kill capital oil own by an ibo man.This is victimazation and marginalization,we want biafraaud.

Everything for you is tribalism. Speaks more about you than Buhari or his Igbo minister of Petroleum resources.
The gave you reason for the suspension but you choose to ignore it and instead spew thrash

BBC is an agent of imperialists. Their opinion does not mean much as they are haters and inherently biased against Naija. Britain's time passed already while Nigeria's time is coming.

Coach - This news is terrible. Abeg accept our condolences to to your family.
Jisike Nwanna

IamAtribalist:
Nigerian artistes should stop going to perform in Biafra states since BIAFRAUDS claim they do want to be part of this country. Isolate the bastards and lets see if they don't suffer. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Listen Kid - grow up or learn to be quiet if you have nothing meaningful to contribute. Well your moniker says it all

bronzegoddess:
I hate to say this but......





My igbo brothers are disappointing me with this IPOD thing.

Poverty caused by decades of massive government corruption is the problem. Any society that has this many jobless and unemployed or under- employed poor youths risks serious instability.

The great majority of Igbos DO NOT even support the tribalistic and myopic Kanu. He is a confusionist.

That Naija U23 Goal Keeper na wah. I do not want to blame one man for this draw but the goals were cheap
