Honestly, nobody is forcing anything on anybody, dey can remain in Nigeria, just let us out. We will build a massive seaport in Abia and River Port in Onitsha.


Honestly, if u look closely at the map of Africa, u will find two countries in the middle of no where on South Africa. They are Swaziland and Lesotho. They are not complaining or begging to join South Africa. They are happy with their own country.


Ndiigbo dont need south south, we need peace. Every other thing falls into place wen u have peace. The enmity is too much, the evil eye is too much. They leave people that are enjoying their oil and attack us. Igbos have never harm their neighbours rather it is them that was kidnapping and selling us to the whites during slavery.


We want an igbo only country.

My man,I feel for you with these words of yours...may your igbo nation come to fruition...amen,if that is what you want...

waternogetemeny:
OP as it stands now, Ndiigbo will exit Nigeria alone not leaving any igbo or igbo sub-group behind.


The Non-igbos can continue tostay in Nigeria where dey are not dominated. I no do again!

You would not beleive it...I have this "friend"although very much older than I am,from the SS,he supports the Igbos in anything and everything but as much as he hates what is going on in Nigeria,he said no sane SS man would want to be caught in the same nation with the Igbos-in his words,if you give an Igboman...1..he would eventually take 2,3,4,5 and finally try to take everything...

JudismphD:
Evaluate the independence and ecomonic dominance in pure perspective. A typical ibo man don't need handouts from any government unlike those who serve slavemaster at the end remain jobless and redundant

The last time I checked,all the governors in the East are Okoro Igbo and stay on the queue every month to collect their stipends,cap in hands,from their slavemasters(IJAWS AND HAUSAS)...This time around,their slavemasters are the HAUSAS AND YORUBAS...maybe when Biafra becomes a reality or you become politically savvy,this your servitude might end...

Dannyset:
Today 28th of May 2015 is the Dusk and Night of Nigeria. We are going into a New Dawn Tomorrow 29th of May 2015. All our accrued pains as a result of mismanagement and corruption would be wiped away. Truly, joy comes in the morning.
This saint looking woman has killed Nigeria. If we must put things right, her passport need to be confiscated and the needful is done to her.

They should not touch that woman.If she is found guilty,let her pay back all the money...

Mbilla:
Typical yoruba scumbag! let me educate u village bastard. Perpetua Nkwocha, an Igbo lady have won African female football of year 4 times and BBC female footballer 3 times. perpetua nkwocha won it 2004, 2005, 2010, 2011. Another Igbo lady Cythia Uwak won it 2006 and 2007. Dont ever compared Yoruba women to Igbo women in anything being it beauty, talent, sports, education, wife material etc Igbo women are million times ahead of your ugly fat smelling yoruba women.

Sorry,are you comparing your bearded cannibal women to Yoruba women?Why would you even try to compare cannibals with real human beings...there is no basis for comparison....

Prof Obinna Chukwu, the Dean of the UNILAG Postgraduate school, introduced the young man and his achievements, which amazed everyone taking to consideration the graduate’s age.

The new Doctor bagged a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 2007, graduating the Universite de Bangui, Central African Republic, with 1st Class honours.

He ran his degree in Mathematics in parallel with studying Physics. Olaoluwa got a 1st class honours degree in Physics in the same year.

He added a M.Sc. in Mathematics (Pure Option) and also Physics (Distinction) at the age of 18 in 2008 before embarking on his doctorate journey.

The young genius had the best Ph.D thesis. He displaced Olabisi Adeyemi, who had graduated from the same institution with 4.98 in 2012 at the age of 26, and Opeyemi Shodipe of Babcock University, who also graduated in 2012 at 25.

On the second day of UNILAG convocation ceremonies 105 Ph.D. students, one M.Phil., 4,380 M.Sc. and 335 PGD students have graduated.

GenBuhari:
America and her European allies may plan his assassination.
Maybe he may be poisoned in London with so poison that would take effect after he returns to Nigeria just before May 29th Handover.
Maybe his flight would be made to crash.

Let us ask the gods to defeat all evil plans against him and to punish our those plotting and their supporters.

Why all these evil thought...?

If we had not been lumped together by Lord Lugard,would you run your mouth like this? Remember one of the greatest empire in the world is related to Lagos...

Like comparing America with Togo...Shame

Chei, Look at painment,Why don't you go to Chatham House for your announcement. Kpele,I bet you dream about Tinubu people in your unending nightmares,morningmares,afternoonmares,eveningmares and the uncountable dozingmares-sorry o,cry papa...

You have any evidence?

mercyville:
This is what somebody said..Yes, Wole Soyinka is primarily a dramatist, and much of his appeal as a playwright and theatre director and actor derives from how poetry enriches the language, elevates passages or stretches of dialogue in his plays, and lends aesthetic dignity and moral force to his metaphysical wit and wisdom. A fine example, among many others, of Soyinka's gift as a sage of the stage is his great historical tragedy, Death and the King's Horseman (1975). In addition to being a novelist, satirist, essayist and critical theorist, he is also a major poet in his own right and has published such collections of poetry as the following:

Idanre and Other Poems (1967)
Poems from Prison (1969)
A Shuttle in the Crypt (1972)
Ogun Abibiman (1976)
Mandela's Earth and Other Poems (1988)
Samarkand and Other Markets I Have Known (2002)

If offered the opportunity, Wole Soyinka will bring depth and complexity of insight to the position of Professor of Poetry at Oxford.

It is going to be tough...hear this.....I am surprised the Guardian has made such a premature statement regarding the Oxford Professor of Poetry election. According to Oxford's website, all candidates have not yet been posted and may not be until as late as May 13. Further, this article neglects to mention the candidacy of eminent American poet, A.E. Stallings, who was nominated for the post by former Professor of Poetry, Christopher Ricks. Except for Ruth Padel, who famously only held the position for 9 days, no female has ever been elected. This is going to be one to watch.

This is another good news for Nigeria....All of you Nigerians out there,more grease to your elbows as you keep keeping Nigerians home and away...PROUD

Let us keep our fingers crossed.

I HAVE SAID IT SEVERALLY THAT NIGERIANS ARE GOING PLACES IN RECENT TIMES.....GOD BLESS NIGERIANS...Read on...

Nigerian Nobel laureate receives strong support to win 300-year-old position, held in the past by writers from Matthew Arnold to Seamus Heaney.

Nobel laureate and political activist Wole Soyinka has put himself forward as one of three candidates for the position of Oxford professor of poetry, a 300-year-old elected post which is seen as the top academic poetry role in the UK.

First held by Joseph Trapp in 1708, the professorship, second only in prestige to that of poet laureate, has been filled in the past by Matthew Arnold, Cecil Day-Lewis, WH Auden, Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon. The 2009 election saw the acclaimed poet Ruth Padel, the first woman to be elected, resign less than two weeks after securing the post. Her departure came after the revelation that she had alerted journalists to allegations of sexual harassment which had been made against her rival for the position, Nobel laureate Derek Walcott.

The eminent poet Geoffrey Hill was elected the following year ahead of nine other candidates. Hill, winner of a host of poetry awards, will complete his five-year tenure this summer, with Oxford graduates due to vote on their choice of his successor next month.

Candidates need to be nominated by at least 50 Oxford graduates. Soyinka, who writes drama, novels and poetry, and who was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Nigeria during the 1967-1970 civil war, his poems smuggled out on toilet paper, received more than 90 nominations, including votes from writers Melvyn Bragg and Robert Macfarlane.

Soyinka won the Nobel in 1986 for his “wide cultural perspective [which] with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence”. He will be competing for the Oxford post with Ian Gregson, a poet, literary critic and professor of creative writing at Bangor University who was backed by 54 graduates. In a provocative statement setting out his intentions if he were to be elected, Gregson said he wanted to “address the major issue facing contemporary poetry, which is, nonetheless, the one most shunned in the poetry world: how poetry has suffered, in recent decades, a catastrophic loss of cultural prestige and popularity”.

“Five hundred years, in which poetry and indeed the poet played a central role in the culture, are at an end. You could, now, be as talented but self-destructive as Dylan Thomas, or you could fight a corrosive but symptomatic gender battle like Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, but go unnoticed,” he writes, blaming the shift on the rise of popular culture – including television, which he says “shaped a crucial shift in which the visual took the upper hand over the verbal, and thus, the literary” – but most of all on new media.

“It is not the content of the internet that’s the problem but its form,” writes Gregson. “No matter how many poems are mounted on the web, the sensibility it creates is indifferent to poetry. This is a medium which ranks words below images, and delivers those images at great speed. It is the opposite of poetry, which, in this context, is made to seem ponderously slow, atavistically verbal, and snobbishly inaccessible.”

Seán Haldane, a poet, award-winning novelist and psychotherapist who ran against Hill in 2010, is the final candidate, with 51 backers.

“Oxford’s professorship of poetry is one of the most famous and illustrious positions in the world of letters, and the chair has been occupied by some of our greatest writers, both poets and critics,” said Seamus Perry, professor of English literature at Oxford. “It has been an honour and a delight to have Geoffrey Hill in the post, and he will be a hard act to follow. I am delighted to have such a strong and diverse list of candidates for this year’s election.”

The winner will be announced on 19 June. The professor’s duties include giving one public lecture a term, as well as encouraging “the art of poetry in the university”, and are rewarded with a stipend of £12,000 a year.[url][/url]http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/may/07/wole-soyinka-candidates-oxford-professor-of-poetry

RIP...

winniz:
Yorubas keep talking about Cannibalism while you lots are the one that Practice it till date e.g your Obas.

Thank you sir,I would be very grateful if you can help me to get the links to show that Yorubas too indulge in this ugly,dirty babarism.I have read one article from a newspaper on nairaland here but that did not show that Yorubas do it but talked about a couple of Obas swallowing the heart of the immediate dead Oba.I and most Yoruba folks would not beleive this one bit,it is strange,very strange in Yorubaland.If it happens at all,which I doubt,it will be a great secret,I would be writing a book on this animalistic behaviour.I have read a lot on this to say that Yorubas had never practised cannibalisn but Igbo have and some are still practising it till date...

winniz:
It never happened, this is a fabricated story by Osun defender and there is no history of your so called Cannibalism in the region.

I am sorry to hurt your feelings but that is the naked truth.There are a lot in the history of that region and its people about cannibalism and it hurts to see that it seems to be a die hard culture.

alfred5:
Its never true! Anambra is on the rise. When you see such news you read and reseach it before copying and pasting. You can't even defend what you pasted. It's rubbish! No location, no name, no time. Holy Shit!

Stop this hulabaloo.It might have happened,everybody knows the history of that region in terms of cannibalism.But I think that culture will die a natural death.

Acekidc4:
What da Fvck!!That's a Cannibalistic Restaurant!!

The Owner of that Fvcking Restaurant Should be killed with 3 Bomber Jets

I am surprised that this is still happening in the 21st century.This is the pinnacle of babarism and wickedness.Eating a fellow human being...yak

Whynotthetruth:
Thanks so much...this is the driving force for this topic but people see it from a myopic lens of Jonathan thing...Jonathan is going by May 29th. But the injustice remains...NObody will ever be president again without permission from the North instead of people to unite against this...they mostly SW feel they are doing Jonathan by absconding from this...

you are welcome but as much as I love Jonathan, he played the tribal politics and the North capitalised on that..as I said...the big question... how does the South come together politically?a million pound question...


.

The simplest solution is for the South to come together as one.

Facts:
We were thrown together by destiny
2.The white men gave power to the North albeit through rigging.
3The South is more powerful than the North if they can come together.
4.North solicits the support of one part of the south against the other because the South cannot come together.
5.South East especially is always wary of the South West since the time of Azikiwe.I don't know why.
6.South South is always wary of the South East because of the South East's spirit of domination-my Calabar friend told me this...
Solution?
next...

congratulations Mr Akande, u make d country proud. All this happening in Jonathan's administration


YES OOOO....DYING HOURS OF JONATHAN ADMINISTRATION AND SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY THE MAN IS CLUELESS...

Nigerians are really making waves outside the shores of Africa....Bravo...More grease to your elbows..

well,we would forever talk about one another,we are not zombies...

op go and learn how to report a news
u just wasted my mb [code]

SORRY,,,,,,,,I report the way I see it,,,,,,,,dont be mad at me, do o
