Then it would appreciate the peace he took for granted.
The same thing America would lose if it let Florida secede from the United States.
When people that were calling you sir, now call you boy.
That is when you will know what you will lose if you became pieces. Go on pray it into your lives first before you pray it for Nigeria. If you believe cutting the head is the right remedy for headache.
BankeSmalls: It made me laugh when I hear people comment on the independence day as if it's something to be happy about. We should mark this day as the NATIONAL DAY OF MISTAKES. This was the day some bunch of Africans decided to exchange their freedom for slavery.
When I look at the railways, the mines and other good business being carried out by the whites during colonialism, I think Nigeria should have done better with a white leader as before.
How can you explain the worst mistake of all, an illiterate, old, certificate less, inexperienced, uncooperative, corrupt, computer illiterate is voted to lead a country with the highest number of professors in the world.
What were you all thinking when you voted or supported this mistake of a president?
Something is wrong with this country. What kind of blunder is this?
You are very ignorant and clueless.
What ''railways, mines, and other good business'' are you talking about?
Were they not built SOLELY for export purposes by the British?
What happened to the export proceeds?
Why was Nigeria an undeveloped bush in 1960, after 63 years of uninterrupted white rule and export of our resources?
How many power stations did they build? 0
How many universities did they build? 0
How many expressways did they build? 0
How many industries did they build? 0
Name me one major hospital they built that you know of.
I can't think of any.
Why were most of our grandparents illiterate village peasants?
Why was the literacy rate 10% at independence?
Today it is nearly 80%, courtesy of investment by succeeding black govts in mass public education.
Fact is the colonialists came here to loot. Not to build.
You need to understand the economic rationale for colonialism.
It doesn't include making YOUR life better, but rather, the lives of the the people of the colonising country.
Right now, YOU, are brainwashed and hypnotized by their white skin.
You equate white skin with success and efficiency, forgetting that it is not skin colour that determines how well a group of people will govern, but their INTERESTS.
And if their INTERESTS do not include making YOU developed and self- sufficient, they will NOT govern you the right way, and will LOOT your resources instead, and leave you underdeveloped. Just like they did before.
So please, learn to use your common sense and quit asking your enslavers to return and enslave you further.
We would lose our status as the biggest and most influential nation on the African continent.
We would lose our status as Africa's biggest economy.
We would lose our status as the country with the largest middle class on the African continent.
We would lose our status as the projected world's 3rd most populous nation by 2050, after China and India.
We would lose our status as one of the ''Next 11'', the group of 11 countries projected by Goldman Sachs to become the world's biggest economies in the 21st century.
We would lose our status as the foremost military power in West Africa and a major African power.
We would lose our status as the world's 3rd largest movie industry after Hollywood and Bollywood.
We would lose our status as the music capital of Africa.
We would lose our status as the fashion capital of Africa.
We would lose our status as the entertainment capital of Africa.
We would lose the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
We will lose our voice, as the Voice of Africa
When our president spoke at the UN last week, he ''spoke for Africa'', according to numerous international correspondents.
We will lose that status, and in our balkanised mini-countries, become instead the new Sierra Leones, Gambias, Togos, and South Sudans.
Nations who talk and nobody listens.
Nations who sneeze and nobody catches a cold.
Each of us irrelevant in the international scheme of things.
OH MY BROTHA....WE HAVE A LOT TO LOSE IF WE BREAK UP!!!
KingSango: Everytime I read or hear anything about weather machines and global warming I laugh. The only NASA is doing with chem trails is covering the stars so one can not do accurate astrological magic, which is the real power. Do you know what set of stars rose with the sunrise? Do you know which stars are rising all day and night? No because you can't see the sky, that's why NASA, who are astrologists, hide the sky. All traditional Niger river religion, which includes the Nile valley, on the other side, has cosmology encoded in it's genetic make up. Making you believe you live on a giant ball flying through infinite darkness keeps you ignorant of God's real power, which are the heavenly bodies, I.e wisdom. There can never be any global warming because the Earth is a plane of existence. The weather manipulation is only influential not direct control, too many factors at stake, such as ocean water temperature, air current temperature and ground temperature. Did you know the moon let's off a cooling light while the sun let's off a warming light? Did you know it's a dome covering the Earth so no man has ever set foot out or ever will? Sky deities worshipped in certain cults isnt a myth. Almighty Obatala is real. Ase, Love Sango.
I see you have ancient knowledge which is the TRUE knowledge. I believe the earth may be flat, and not a sphere as claimed by western science. What do you think?
falopey: Babylon the great was Roman Empire. The prophecy is talking about the persecution of Christians by the great Roman Empire. America is not persecuting no Christian.. The prophecy had been fulfilled long long before our forefathers.
You are wrong. The Book of Revelations is prophecy about the end times. The 'last days'. The Roman Empire was 2,000 years ago!
And Revelations states that as 'Babylon The Great' is being destroyed, all nations of the earth would watch in wonder and shock. That never happened with Rome, as most nations weren't even aware of its existence outside Europe and the Middle East.
No sense of restraint whatsoever. At least the knowledge that you are using money that does not belong to you, but to the people, should restrain your urge to buy so many expensive properties in so many countries. This was just total and absolute lack of care for your own country and countrymen. Shameful.
BizLifeE: okay let me give a different view from Kennedy’s cabal theory.
Lagos was congested and due to the nature of the terrain, it was difficult to expand and have the kind of infrastructure that was envisaged. Abuja in the center of the country has virtually limitless land for expansion. World class infrastructure has been built but has fallen into disrepair due to poor maintenance and planning culture.
Security was also a nightmare due to the congestion. There had been 2 assassinations of the President already and 4 changes of government in violent ways. It was believed that there was a need to have a better position for the seats of government. The seat of government in Abuja is in a wide expanse of land where movement around the whole city can be monitored. There has never been violent transfer of power since the capital moved in 1993.
Lagos was deeply entrenched in the heartland of one of the main ethnic groups in Nigeria and there was no chance it was going to loosen up. Contrary to the widely held belief in the South of Nigeria, Abuja is not Hausa land but the minority Gwari tribe. Igbo people from South of Nigeria are now the largest land holders in Abuja.
The 70s was a time of Black/African renaissance and the belief that the black man had a great manifest destiny was still alive. Abuja was therefore conceived of as a City that will be a showpiece and pride of the Black race.
If the cabal was all about regionalism and tribalism, Kaduna would have been the choice of the new Capital not Abuja.
Abuja has NOT "fallen into disrepair". If anything it has been wonderfully maintained considering the dire predictions by naysayers of yesteryear, that the city would turn a slum. That hasn't happened, but it hasn't stopped your type from inventing stories of "disrepair".
No city can look "brand new" forever, so long as you have millions of people in it.
ayodele234: America itself will be destroyed. Na guess work america dey when it comes to north korea. They dont even know what they are capable of doing. America will be hit first even before south korea and japan
Honestly bro, I've been reading the Book of Revelations of late, and its references to the coming destruction of 'Babylon the Great' sounds a lot like it's referring to the United States.
And when you think about it, there is no way that any major book of prophecy such as the bible would not have foretold the modern USA. The role the US plays in this world and where it's headed is huge.
They live and settle in other regions of Nigeria more than any other ethnic group, yet they constantly demand secession more than anyone else.
If that is not confusion, what is?
It is like a guy who cannot live without his daily supply of Big Stout leading a rally to shut down the Guinness brewery.
Does that make sense?
Ok, say Nigeria decides to let them go (without the Niger Delta of course), and deports all 25 million Igbo settlers in Nigeria back to the East (since they would become illegal immigrants), can the East handle such an influx of refugees and deportees? I mean, we are talking starvation and mass homelessness here. Not to mention the loss of their businesses in Nigeria, estimated to be worth over $20 billion in total.
I mean, the entire secession idea is madness, yet it seems very reasonable to many of them.
If you read the Youtube comments for this video, you will see how folks around the world are wondering why he did not win World Footballer of the Year at least once! Some saying he's better than Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar combined.
The part that gets me in this video starts at 7.59. See how Jay Jay just uselessed his fellow professional on the field. Poor chap.
nototribalist: It's not like they're grabbing good food. It's hydraulic soup they're fighting for. With that black yama Yama thing.
You are truly vile and evil. I wonder what went wrong in your life that made you turn out so hateful. You must have been a nice cute kid when you were young. How did you grow up to become this vicious, hateful person? You need to retrace your steps. Respect other people's culture even if you disagree politically. As humans we are all connected through God. Always remember that.
sukkot: hehe you should see how i laugh my ass off with the serious responses i get. like some people get really emotional
You are not funny by using racist language like the N word. That word was used to kill and brutalize people who looked like you. If you don't know the history of the word, go and learn it, instead of "laughing your head off".
olakunlemy: Igbo man and money na death and life. Chalse don carry him business go Thailand net. Omo Igbo shaaaaa
Igbo society is sick. That is why they no longer produce real men of talent, like Chinua Achebe, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Michael Okpara, Cyprian Ekwensi, Chike Obi, Phillip Emeagwali, and others. Today, it is all about money. If you have not built a mansion the size of Buckingham palace, you have no respect in Igboland. You can be a writer, a professor, a scientist, a journalist, an IT expert. None of that means anything anymore in Igboland, if you do not have A LOT OF MONEY, over and above what you actually need to live.
I've been reading the Book of Revelations of late, and the prophecies about the destruction coming to "Babylon the Great" seem to be direct references to the United States. Trump is also heavily associated with the number 666. His real name is Donald Johann Drumpf. 'Trump' is an anglicised version of his real German name. He also makes that 6 hand sign whenever he speaks. And if you check online, there are numerous connections between the guy and that number. He could be the guy that leads us to Armageddon.
cornel00: We igbos are the problem to ourselves. Once upon a time, i was made to see Yoruba people as my main enemy in this, country but not anymore. Yes we can brag about our commercial exploits, education, talents, wealth, personalities but we lack unity. Out of all the tribes in this country, Igbos are the most greedy, wicked, heartless, and selfish set of creatures. I am a confirm onye igbo, born and brought up in the north, i am typing this because of the IPOB crisis here in the east. It's hard for me to admit but the truth must be told. I asked myself yesterday night; If we are to get biafra what will come next? Are we ready to be independent? Do we have the resources to survive? Is there love among ourselves? After analysing all these, i come to conclusion that biafra is the worst that will happen to an igbo man, biafra will be a place where hatred is the order of the day, we are always the ones playing the victim card, we call Yoruba people all sorts of derogatory names, we blame everyone one in this country except ourselves. It was a Yoruba family that welcomed and gave me shelter in GBOKO BENUE STATE the year i was posted there for my jamb exam (you can hardly see an igbo man do this for his brother, let alone a stranger) my best secondary school teacher is a Yoruba man, we lack hospitality and love among ourselves. I didn't know about this until i left north for east, an igbo man will rather sell his brother for a plate of porridge out of greed We call Hausa this and that yes i don't even like them (the truth must be told), their religious and ethnic intolerance is something else, but we are not better either, we have made our land less convenient for our people that's why you see igbos investing outside igbo land. You will buy land in igboland and all the kinsmen in that community will try to feast on your pocket. Yes we have most of the most corrupt politicians in this country. Those bastar.ds we call our leaders are the ones we supposed to hold accountable, Nigeria is not our problem, Yoruba people are the only people we can team up with, they are the only one we can ally with. I use to ask myself why most of my trusted friends are not igbos, it's not a coincidence. It is from experience. In 2015 i relocated from the north to the east, up till now I'm still regretting my decision, i will rather die elsewhere than to be consumed by hatred in igbo land. My maternal grandfather who is supposed to welcome me home, despite all the tenants that are paying him, could not let me stay in one of his rooms. My grandfather!! My advice to my fellow igbos is that we should eliminate hatred in our lives, only then we can come together and think of the way forward. My write up may lack proper contruction, as long as I've shared my thoughts I'm OK. As for biafra matter, me and my household and extended family say no to biafra. I stand for one united South in one Nigeria. Long live south east Long live south west Long live south south Long live Nigeria PEACE! cc: lalasticlala Mynd44
Bros, you are 100% correct. Igbos can be very, very selfish to each other, even within families. You will be shocked at the number of Igbo millionaires and billionaires (in dollars, not naira) whose own blood brothers, not to mention nephews and cousins, are struggling to find their next meal. The stinginess of the Igbo rich has to be seen to be believed. Do you know that many Igbo rich people will sooner help a friend or associate than their own siblings and relatives? They would want to be No.1 in their family, so they withold their wealth from their relatives. That is how insecure and selfish they are.
Biafran actualisation will simply be an opportunity for rich Igbos to get richer. The ordinary citizens will simply be ignored. And it would be a dictatorship/ banana republic where might is right. May it never happen.
Whites fear blacks because of our reproductive capacity, which surpasses theirs, and the big black d..ck is their symbol of that reproductive superiority. Subconsciously, it's the real reason they engage in racism against non-white people in general. Their low reproductive capacity and lack of melanin which gives the skin colour, means they are genetically recessive to other races, and will be obliterated in conditions of true racial equality and intermingling.
heendrix: guess the missiles kim being showing muscles is making you feel like they got something. go inquire more about US millitary capabilities bro if trump meant what he said definitely it'd be so it's quite thrilling your comparing North Korea to US
Dude, use your head. It is not as simple as you think. North Korea has a defence pact with China and Russia. If the US preemptively attacks North Korea, those two will fight for North Korea, and we are talking WW3. And with all those countries armed with nukes, it could lead to global mayhem, and the destruction of the USA. They are not invincible.
Sunky200: don't mind that guy, he obviously didn't know that in the 60's saudi arabia monarch come to nigeria for medical treatments and the uk and us readily accept nigeria(ns) products into their countries contrary to what is happening today
There were no Nigerian "products" in the 1960s. Name one industry the British established here.
Which hospital did the Saudi monarch get treated in here? I've no idea what you are on about because we had no world class hospitals in the 1960s. Not sure we even had ONE serious hospital back then. If you do, name it.
That writer was obviously paid, or is an IPOB guy pretending to be "Bruce Fein". The level of venom in the article shows the guy is not objective at all, but is heavily biased in favour of the terrorists.
