namfav: nonsense man

lol i laughed

that chidinma girl-

Igbo can be president if the older generation of tribalist STFU and the younger generation grow. Infact an igbo president that emerges can be one of the best presidents we've had so far.

I kno a good amount of NIGERIAN IGBO(not biafran)chaps who can easily connect dots and be on top of Nigeria.
of course they are elitist with yoruba and hausa business partners, friends, etc.

whether people like it or not naija is changing

souldust: yes! He did rediscover Africa. Read the article again and see for yourself. This is a man i think we should be giving a state burial. I am not igbo, far from it. I am Idoma. But we should give them both a state burial. Chinua achebe and Wole Soyinka.

no he should be given a biafran burial on biafran soil or better yet in the US

coogar: but he's dead now - people should learn to respect the dead! whether he's a two-faced or a nine-faced liar, he cannot defend himself here so let it go.

isnt that what the yorubas said about achebes book, because awo was dead and not able to defend himself

ACHEBE is a giant indeed- tribalism aside no doubt the guy was GREAT and it is big loss to the African sense of literature....

THAT being said- what he experienced during biafra war obviously affected his mind frame, so his latest book isnt out of the ordinary.

[size=16pt]Now my own opinion is hes a biafran, nothing Nigerian about the guy, i don't know why you guys are pretending. The same way people rejoiced when Awo- "the tribalist" died, the same way it was a relief when the great man Ojukwu died, The same sense of relief that 1960's had when amadu bello/balewa,also Ken saro wiwa died, Isaac Adaka boro, The same feeling that people felt when Major Adekunle died is that sense of a stronger nigeria devoid of bigotry or ethnic politics. - HARSH BUT TRUTH IS THE TRUTH.[/size]

no point in reasoning with delusional people, This is a funny joke tho.

but very fraudulent, I could understand if it was real, but its fake.

-if someone were to send killers, to his house, what would be the reaction of everyone?

this list only proves nothing actually on both ends.

-There is no proof of where the Oil blocks are located. and which ones are still operating.

- I dont really care if igbos , niger deltans or yorubas or even northerners are operating oil blocks, but why should politicians own oil blocks?

9ja voice: read well . the guy said yorubas dominate nigeria oil industry workforce.
it is pure nepotism.

the writer also gave yorubas soft landing bcus of southern brotherly feelings in us SS/SE.

There is no southern brotherly love- I dont know what youre talking about at the end of the day SW will be SW.

SW doesnt need any brotherly anything in Nigeria from north or south, which is why they have been successful at keeping calm in the country called Nigeria, they will still remain businessmen in Oil sector, Banking industry, Insurance, Telecoms, etc.

9ja voice: now it is clear why yorubas keep defending the north in oil blocks ownership. hahaha am lafin in obj style. i said it both north and yorubas are partners in this evil.

the secret evil of yorubas will soon be revealed soonest. minorities now lost hope in yorubas bcus it is clear yorubas are slow poinson and cameleon. whenever they speak fir minorities look clearly their fulani reletionship has sone cracks. i save this info already.

are you sick? why would minorities have in any hope in yorubas- are yorubas minorities Savior or something?

dayokanu: Rubish

LOL TOTAL TRASH------- i combed the article to find if any yoruba person was mentioned, nothing.

its laughable actually

welp as a yoruba- some like GEJ, some dont, Most dont care and think he's dull-

I am glad that SW elite have chosen to get their Oil blocks in the SW and Deep sea exploration, Niger delta= trouble. - no problems, No issue, Ondo, Lagos off shore, and Ogun state. smart people know that.

If you look at Folawiyo- Offshore Lagos, Alakija oil Offshore ondo, Adenuga- offshore, Obatoil- ilaje, Ondo, Oando- Offshore etc- I mean its a no brainer.

tribe/village/state nigerians are very stupid

GEJ was right about the oil part tho.

You must cease and desist from fraudulently extorting rents from Ojukwu Transport Limited's tenants.
You are also hereby banned from stepping foot on any Ojukwu Transport Limited or Ojukwu Family properties, particularly those in Nnewi, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Enugu, Kaduna, Zaria and Abuja. ...



does sound like biafra to me.

Well like its always poor people who feel they are being shortchanged or held down. I know PLENTY of igbo people who are elites in society and will marry their daughter out to other elite yoruba hausa muslim etc.

I mean look at ojukwu family, if they were serious about igbo issues they would have relocated their investments back to igboland.

pretty simple.

hollandis: look who is criticizing, my baby brother can be less [b]ambigous [/b]in proving a point

Obviously i was typing in a rush just to type anyway, your comment doesn't seem to hit the spot. I dont even think you know what ambiguous means or how to use the word in correct context

I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR HIM watched it and he was not up to par. he certainly lacks confidence when speaking. doesn't seem presidential.

ATCUALLY AKES ME WANT TO IMPROVE ON MY OWN SPEECH IN CASE OF FUTURE Q&A interviews kinda sad really, reminds me a child

GEJ vs obj- i doubt GEJ is pulling the string sycophants around him are influencing him, but those same idiots cannot even help him prepare to seem more presidential in mannerism

and Lagos isnt overrated by Lagosians,

Ghanaian, Liberians,Beninoise, Togolese that live in naija are usually based in the SW and in particular Lagos

No doubt about that.

by lagos' port alone makes it more economically viable the other states,

lol they've always been there is not uncommon to see tauregs in north and western nigeria

not true. Lagos state is by the sea - majority city with sea port will be more viable than the hinterland. thats common sense its proximity to cotounou, to lome to accra helps it out also

TheViper: If you're a Lagos state indigene then you're not bias to say Lagos was not developed by its indigenes alone. But most of my Lagos friends believed that Lagos is developed today because of their effort alone. When i told them that if not that Lagos was the former capital City of Nigeria, it'll just be a normal state like Ogun or Osun state today. Some of them even went ahead and told me that the infrastructures laid by the federal government are not important players in Lagos economy today.

lagos can never be another osun or oyo or ogun. because lagos city is seashore. common sense

oily-Yoruba:
This is the most du.mb comment ever. Mr edo man masquerading as Igbo, be proud of your edo lineage and stop pretending to be what you're not. Peter Obi is by far above your empty and loud-mouthed governor.

hater ---- nice pics tho oshio i setting pace for other states

Lagos but Ogun is cool maybe Akure Ondo or Oyo Ibadan
