TheOnlyWiseMan: This shows that YO-ROBBER people hate Nigeria far more than we do. While they're there crying over zoo Biafrans are calling Nigeria, they are there calling her cage.
acenazt: kiikikiiikik seriously The igboman only knows his clan and village. History and Gns showed us they weren't even known as Igbos until recently all they had was Clan and village
True; They never had an empire while the Yorubas, Fulanis, kanuri & binis are known throughout history to have empires but they the igbos only have villages. History can not be destroyed by wishful thinking.
hinwazaka: When Napoleon was dividing his army into units and making them carry their ammunition and supplies on their backs, the entire Europe thought he was a fool. It was only when they woke up to see millions of french army units on the doors of Vienna, did they know they were the ones that were foolish. When the PDP is through with APC, you will learn why it took 16 years for the US to get only a toe nail in the door.
This is the same way Jonathan was advised till he lost.
sweatlana: Since buhari thought of ameachi as good enough to be minister, my prayer is this, may ameachi do to buhari's govt the same thing he did to rivers state in the last 4 year.
And may God manage the lives of all Ameachi haters the way Jonathan Managed Nigeria. Shikina.
Ephemmm: Saraki was confirmed when APC senators were not on the floor: PDP senators were moving out of the floor of the House when Amaechi is to be confirmed. What a repletion of circumstance!
By the way, who among them could withstand Amaechi if the chips are down? Fool senators that cannot ask Amaechi a question when invited in the past knows that a mere allegation cannot stop Amaechi from being a Minister today
liberty300: shut up!! Igbos there are going there to collect the money from you...strictly on business issues and nothing. You party all the time, we sell you the bottles..2morrow you'll complain that we've taken everything from you
You're being paid for the service you rendered the same way a cleaner (toilet cleaner )is paid in Germany.
YungMike: Haba!!enough is enough for all this promise and fail governments!!
WHat if Shango or Amadioha was to be the Chief Judge to swear em in
Trust we gonna have a sincere government and obviously a better Nigeria, because their promises during campaign is just so heavenly, e.g changing $1 - #1
Please if you gat the power, what would you wana CHANGE about Nigeria to make it a better place?
Dem go kill people now! 3/4 of people nominated for ministerial appointment will decline the offer Sharp sharp; who wan take live snake head play.
When we see confam warri boy we dey know, well boneee! Devil na area boy, God na Godfather. E nor get as e be ogoro (frog) must jump. Warri nor dey carry last kpata kpata (if it comes to the worst) na draw. I see some people say na Lagos get slangs I just dey laff becos dem dey learn. Warri, Delta pidgin nai be confam, the rest states mother tongue dey interfere. Warri boys can neva carry girl go party! Nor be say we wickedtt we dey tell you our mind! Na so one warri boy carry one girl to cinema one day, the girl con say "I need emmm... suya of N3500 just to keep the mouth busy." Instanta the Warri boy provoke, "wey you, stop that thing, you want make your mouth busy you nor dey blow whistle? Abi na here you wan chop your evening food?"LOL. Make I add my own jaree:
1. Okpolo eye = Big eye 2. Kala = Gun 3. Kpokpo = Soldier 4. Kpom = Smoke cigar/igboo
Lagos slang no get part 2 because slang just dey show face every day.
It's not only national concern but its a world affair because we the Yorubas are spread worldwide ( indigenous to several other countries apart from Nigeria) so haters can hate all we care.
belabela: The case of Igbo's biafra will be like South Sudan.
After many years of claiming they were the reason for Sudan's success, the UN finally allowed South Sudan have their country. The joy barely lasted 24 hours after the declaration of independence. Since then it's been war with various groups fighting for power.
South Sudan is argueably worse today than it was under Sudan - and many keep fleeing the war to Europe.
South south will not join Biafra for many reasons - most elites in the south south are content with how Nigeria operates at the moment and they are too scared to experiment with a new nation.
To the igbo biafrans I say GOODLUCK
Let me add to your comment by saying several South Sudanese have returned back to the same Sudan they left in the anticipation that South Sudan will be transformed into Africa's Hong Kong.
PDP don suffer! Why are they always jumping from frying pan into fire? They tried rigging but it didn't work, they tried kidnapping but it didn't work, they also tried assassination but it didn't work, they tried propaganda but it didn't work, they took a step further by trying secession but most people ain't buying it & since they want to save face; they have now resulted to cloning everything eg. ethnic statements, foreign head of states comments, impersonation & now Newspaper articles.
But no wahala as Wind don blow for us to see fowl yansh.
dainformant: Late Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse ll pictured as he arrived for his installation and Coronation as the 50th Ooni of Ile Ife back in December 1980. The late Yoruba monarch who died few months ago at the age of 85 in a London hospital after a brief illness -was surrounded by friends and acquaintances at the Ooni's palace in Osun state....
Datazone: What proof do you have that they are Yorubas? Do not just come online to distort history just because they speak a language similar to Yoruba doesn't make us a Yoruba. Yes! We have ties with the Yoruba likewise the Binis so keep calm bro... Compare the Itsekiri dressing, Yoruba dressing and Edo (Bini) dressing, you will see our dressing is similar to that of the Binis.
I don't really know if you're itsekiri but do a little more research and you will get to know that the Yoruba race is more diverse than any other ethnic group as each Yoruba town and village speak different types of Yoruba language and even dress differently.
This is even more evident in Ondo State where several towns/villages speak another language different from Yoruba , they speak it side by side with Yoruba; let me state that the Owo people and the itsekiris have almost the same culture even with the binis, likewise some part of Akoko in Ondo state; so try and do a little more research.
I am Yoruba & also closely related to Edo( Ubiaja) I don't know if I spelled that name right. Though I have never visited that place but history have it that they are my people & I am from a royal family in Yoruba land & also related to the royal house in Edo state. Those who put this history down are all dead but it have been confirmed by a few that have visited that place that we still have a little of their language intertwined with the one we speak.
Let me state that if we all do more research as per where we originally originated from we will discover that some of us are related one way or the other; let me use the ijaws as a case study:
1. I learnt from some of ijaws that history have it that they originated from Egypt/Sudan but it worthy to know that we the Yorubas have one that say we also originated from Egypt/Sudan.
2. They said another have it that they dropped from the sky & I laughed because history also have it that Oduduwa the father of we the Yorubas dropped from the sky.
3. They also said another have it that after they left Egypt/sudan, the first place they settled was Ile-ife; I laughed more because Ile-ife is the place of Yoruba civilization and it is in Osun State a Yoruba State.
These facts may be disputed or even confirmed but it did change the way I see an ijaw man/woman & for this I will always never support a fight with any ijaw person because I see them as my cousins: though i have never made any statement pertaining to such in their presence but that's the way I see it & I have done my part to protect their rights everywhere work took me so far they also work there.
Finally, though me & some Igbos throw jabs at each other every now & then on Nairaland but the truth is that I still have some cousins of mine who I can say are half Yoruba & half igbo. Nigeria is more diverse & intertwined more than we all think but once in a while we tend to let ethnic sentiments over cloud our way of reasoning.
PedroJP: Yorubas obsession with Biafra don tire me. When u think u will only have Northerners to contend with as Biafran break away will affect them most, it surprises me to see yorubas wailing more than Hausas about Biafra, or is it true they fear poverty, backwatdness, total islamisation and control from Fulanis in the event of Biafra break away.
I don dey confuse where i dey try to understand why Yorubas are kicking against pple they haye so much leaving.
How person no fo allow his devil comot for his life. Just like some would say, na only in Nigeria u see Muslims dat want to live with Infidels and pple that want to live with their nightmares.
Yorubas i don tire !!!
Odua nation will benefit u more than this nonsense Nigeria dat is for d elites.
Yorubas don't have anything against the Igbos but the Igbos tend to always go after the Yorubas on every thread and as such the Yorubas go for the Igbo's throats as a way of returning the gesture.
The Igbos struggle would have been easier if they haven't been dragging the Yorubas into their fight.
Let me modify & use Asari's words" you dey carry gun & me self they carry gun; so why I go fear you now" , it can even be confirmed that I am better armed & even have better military training them most of you.
chesterlee: We are Biafrans and wish to state categorically that we are aware of the restoration of Biafra which we the people of Itsekiri maximally support. Northern people of Arewa support Boko haram how much more we supporting a lawful agitation by our people to be free, since after the war, Itsekiri were made slaves, marginalized and subjugated and hence Pa Johnson gave us no reason no conviction to abandon our quest for freedom we state as follows. Pa Johnson did not talk in interest of Itsekiri people but on his own suspicious accord. We suffer the same fate as our Igbo speaking Biafrans where few people said to be leaders conspire with power against the wish of the people, they have turned from peoples' leader to political jobbers who fights for their interest than the interest of the people. We the Itsekiri people are marginalized and treated as second class citizens who have not been addressed; we have no future, hope or stake in Nigeria and so discredit and reject the anti-people statement by Pa Johnson. We are aware of the move by Nigeria to lobby or bribe few people claimed to be leaders in different parts of Biafra land to make statements against Biafra restoration without consulting the people neither a statement that represents the entire wish of the people which we saw in Enugu as well. Its gross dishonour coming from Pa Johnson to our heroe's ideology major general Philip Effiong who where ever he is will be happy we carried on where he stopped and make Biafra of his dream come true, mentioning his name there is dishonor. It is a huge disappointment from Pa Johnson to the people of Itsekiri that when yorubas who have gotten much from Nigeria without being marginalized are clamoring for Oduduwa republic hence Nigeria is a failed states, we the people of Itshekiri that are second class and marginalized are receiving anti-people statement from Pa Johnson. We the people of Itsekiri therefore state categorically that Pa Johnson stands on his own with his Nigerian cohorts hence his statement does not represent the wish and goodwill of Itsekiri people. We call on all Biafrans to be strong as we are solidly behind the quest for our dear country, the people of Itsekiri stand tall to say time has passed when few people for their interest destroyed the future of the people.

My comment that some people only make noise & beat their chests without backing it up with action since time immemorial have been confirmed. Yeye dey smell
chuna1985: Someone wrote dis n its so true, I decided to share it.
Rayhut : HYPOCRISY is when YORUBA people claim some part of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos as Yoruba land when Igbos claim the Igbo speaking areas of some part of Delta, Rivers and Edo as part of Igbo land, YORUBA'S will start shouting land grabbing, oil thief, is this not hypocrisy at highest level, if Igbo go with only 5 Igbo state and leave the rest of the Igbo land, then Yoruba should leave Lagos, Kwara, Kogi and parts of Ondo ilaje axis alone.
Have you ever checked a map that have ethnic distribution( where each ethnic groups are located before the white man came )? Go back and do a simple research. Yeye dey smell.
