Enugu capital of Biafra?

franchasng:
Lagos is in coma, dying slowly but Tinubu and his supporters and stooges will not agree as he continues to milk Lagos dry, and we the mumu followers will keep shouting eko Oni baje o because they used chikini change out of trillions to construct bus stops and buy ordinary buses, hmmmm

Before u argue with me, try and make out time one Sunday and drive around Lagos; from Surulere to Mushin to Agege to Oshodi to Isolo to Ikeja to Festac to Mile 2 to Ikotun to Mazamaza to Ojo to Iyanoba to Igando to Egbeda to Coconut and u will see that Lagos has collapsed when it comes to road networks.

Lagos state inter city roads are all gone!

Most street roads are dead! Roads connecting streets to streets especially around Oshodi-mafoluku area, Mushin, Isolo, Mazamaza, mile 2, etc are all dilapidated and looking horrible and causing serious damages to cars plying those routes.

It is really really shameful that Nigerians cannot make Nigeria beautiful and stress free, it hurts seriously

And you dirty empty skull monsters will soon be purged.

alhassanyusuf29:
it's essential and important to lay down bare facts regarding the infamous myth propagated by igbos playing on victim card mentality regarding the issue of hate,loath and antagonistic tendencies shown to them by other tribes

The 1966 Nigerian coup d'état(igbo coup)
January 15, 1966, when mutinous Nigerian soldiers led by Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna killed 22 people including the Prime Minister of Nigeria, many senior politicians, many senior Army officers (including their wives), and sentinels on protective duty.The coup plotters attacked the cities of Kaduna, Ibadan, and Lagos while also blockading the Niger and Benue River within a two-day span of time before the coup plotters were subdued. The General Officer Commanding, of the Nigerian Army, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi then used the coup as a pretext to annex power, ending Nigeria's nascent democracy. It was one of the events that led to the Nigerian Civil War.

the seed of discord,hate and animosity was first planted by the igbo's through the 1966 coup,which led to the civil war and chain of events till this very present day.. Nobody hates you bcuz you're from the lineage of jews(as u claim),hard working,blessed or "the fear that the Igbos may eventually come to dominate the northern political space which eventually will erode the powerful traditional northern elite power structure,ull never be able to do that,base on the structure and population of the hausa/fulani and other willing minorities compared to that of igbo

over 3m igbos are doing business peacefully in kano alone and other various northern states.. Take a chill pill!! there are over 500 ethnic tribes in Nigeria before you start feeling all important,it's not all about you people pls!

u claim the sole reason APC elites were agaisnt GJ was bcuz he mainly appointed igbos

its a fact that igbos are the most tribalistic people amongst all the tribes in Nigeria!! ain't no sugar coating it,you cant dispute that,plain truth!!,simple..its only this segment of people that try to defend,protest and protect a politicain from their region no matter the offence he/she committed simply bcuz his/she is from that specific region..is like their the only angelic being since inception that Nigeria had ever have regarding governace

no wonder you prolly didn't see any atrocities the angelic GJ commit during his reign of impunity solely bcuz his one of you,even though the ijaw have moved on..hypocrisy is deeply ingrained in you that's u overlook acts,such as:

1. Army raid on newspaper houses
2. Immigration recruitment scam and death
3. Extra judicial killings
4. Occupy Nigeria protests and soldiers
5. Boko Haram killings
6. Corruption "stealing is not corruption"

do any of these sound familiar to you?

the basic truth is that GJ got botted and rejected in the polls,bcuz he was ineffective,bereft of ideas and incapable to govern,not bcuz he appointed majority SE/SS indigenes

other factor that made him lose out was the breach of zoning/rotation agreement between north and south,which made political elites,including his beneficiary obasanjo to turn on him

kiss the undiluted truth and stop wailing

BabaRamota1980:
[s]Anioma is a conglomerate of many ethnicities - Igala, Yoruba, Bini, Ibo.

It must remain distinct as it is. Can never be part of SE, never never![/s]

BabaRamota1980:
How is SE not landlocked?

Do not derail this thread with nzeogwu and war talk. Tidy yourself up and focus on topic.[/s]

Mynd44:
A state where the governor has beenknown to use the NURTW boys to block a federal road to prevent lawmakers feom sitting.

A state where the governor reportedly slapped a sitting judge

A state where the governor locked up a king for 5 months.

And you ask why the people did not celebrate his loss even while he remains?

Is it so difficult?

Curlieweed:
SE is landlocked? Still propagating that old canard. Lol.

In any case if you check other sources, Holland is still the second highest exporter even if you consider only locally grown products. Actually, this is common knowledge and Nwodo actually asked the team looking at SE regional development to look at Holland in crafting a development plan.

As an aside, the charts you showed was about production not exports.

Curlieweed:
You need to do better than this.

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/01/the-netherlands-is-the-second-largest-agricultural-exporter-after-us/

Not all the exports were produced in the Netherlands, however. Some €25.5bn of the total was in the form of re-exports from other countries.

Curlieweed:
I don’t fvck around with facts. I will advise you to check my assertions thoroughly before declaiming them.

And no you don’t understand any politics. Politics is about improving the lives of your people not building big for nothing empires to feed the ego of a venal few in positions of leadership. My ancestors didn’t build these silly empires and for good reason. I will be damned if I’ll encourage them.

Curlieweed:
Regarding the highlighted, “appearing” is very apt especially just before the seasonal bloodletting.

You’re being disingenuous blaming people from the North and West for dividing Igbo speakers when it’s your Bini “brothers and sisters” like Onochie et al that have been shouting from the roof tops that they are not Igbo. I am only accepting their words.

For me, even if Igboland comes down to only my hometown Nkwerre, I wouldn’t care. Lichtenstein with a population of ca 50k has one of the highest per capital incomes (true measure of national success). Holland is the second highest exporter of agricultural products in the world (after the USA) their population density probably exceeds that of Igboland.

We need cohesion and singleness of purpose. Quality before quantity, not adding all sorts of people of very doubtful loyalty.

subcbouy:
Remove Ikwerre n Anioma from your list. These two can't be minority in this category. Abeg you.

Curlieweed:
Maybe I am thick but it's not exactly clear how adding people of very doubtful loyalty to you region helps you.

The benefits of a large underdeveloped "land mass" isn't also very clear to me as I can't see any correlation between land mass and prosperity. Actually, there is more evidence for the exact opposite. Conceptually, it requires less resources to develop a more compact area. The beneficial economies of urbanisation are easier to exploit in an area with a denser population.

I think we should spend our energies discussing things that are more beneficial to us rather than drinking Panadol for other people's headache. I personally have no business with all these Bini people you're talking about in Delta and Rivers state. We have already "dashed" them our language (since they can't remember their original Bini tongue). What more do you want us to do? Na we born them?

Curlieweed:
I don't understand the premise of this thread. WTF do we gain from adding Anioma to SE.

In the first place your SE or SS and all the other so called "geo-political zones" are not even recognized by your scam 1999 "constitition". So what difference does it make if you decide to pretend that Benue or Rivers or Anioma is in the SE? Does it improve our lives in any way? Revenue is not even shared on the basis of "geo-political zones".

In the second place, the way I understand the principal argument for the creation of an additional states is to increase the number of states in the SE to achieve some parity with other zones. I don't seee how creating a state in another region and pretending that new state is in the SE corrects that inequality.

PabloAfricanus:
This is such a cold blooded declaration of unbreakable enmity! What?
Are you guys for real? That is not an innocent statement at all.
The thought, reasoning and emotions behind that statement is one of implacable enmity.
You Aniomas basically started a fire that engulfed and almost wiped out Igbos,
A people you somehow speak their language, practice their tradition and customs,
I mean without any sense of shame or modesty you guys practically tell the whole world you lost your Bini language to Igbo traders
whom you keep on saying you never had anything to do with!
How did you then abandon your language to them?
How did the Igbos do it?
Are you forgetting that Bini has always been next door and till today Edo people have never spoken Igbo?

How come the first Igbo man who declared himself as Igbo to the British in Nigeria was Obi Ossai of Aboh?
Oh, you Aboh people suddenly developed selective amnesia and forgot your own history right?

So you are saying that even though the whole civil war thing was started by Aniomas, and Aniomas fought for the Igbos including
Nzeogwu himself, it simply does not matter or count.
What counts is your "sentiment" and whom you chose to share "your sentiment" with. That's cold mennnnn.
What matters is that you would rather be known as others who are not you, than sympathize with the only peoples you share anything with?
What matters is that you do not share in the sentiments of over 2 million people who were killed, starved and genocided for nothing...all because they refused to point out to the rest of Nigeria that actually you Aniomas are not Igbos?

What do you think would have happened if Igbo leaders and Ojukwu had publicly made the same announcement you are making now?

"These people who speak Igbo, bear Igbo names and basically practice Igbo customs and traditions are not Igbos, Nigerians beware and take note. Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna are actually Bini people bearing Igbo names and so Aniomas are responsible for Jan 15 1966."

What if the Igbos had teamed up with the Middle Belt, Yorubas and Hausas to bring the war to the very peoples who started the civil war?
I mean its easy, all it takes is a statement pointing out that the Igbos do not share the same sentiments with these Bini people across the Niger
who have been mistakenly identified as Igbos just because they speak Igbo and all that.
How about that?

How many Igbo lives do you think would have been lost as compared to Anioma lives, if Ojukwu, Okpara and Zik had publicly denied you Aniomas in 1966?
You know just the same exact way men named Emeka Esogbue, Elechi Amadi, Bini men bearing Bini names such as Nwachukwu, Chukwuma, Ifeanyi are publicly and without any sense of remorse denying Igbos?
Who do you think the Northerners and the Yorubas would have bombed when they came to avenge Ahmadu Bello, Balewa, Akintola and Ademulegun?
I mean the Igbos were basically in charge of the Army, you remember that don't you?
Who stood to lose? Do you remember that the Eastern Region had the oil in the 60s and was poised to be the richest region?
Who truncated all that? Bini people bearing Igbo names and speaking Igbo remember?
How come the 1966 coup was never known as the Anioma coup?
Or I forgot, Aniomas were Igbos back then, but stopped sharing Igbo sentiments after the war!
You guys are silly jokers

Let me show you why the joke is squarely on you Aniomas any way this story turns, heads or tails.
In fact your denial or non denial makes absolutely no difference.

These quotes are from "The Political Economy of Aboh, 1830-1857"
https://www.jstor.org/stable/3601659












The first Igbo peoples known to the British and whom they traded with and introduced Christianity to were the Abohs!
Ooops, I forgot or rather Obi Ossai and his sons forgot to tell the British about the Lufthansa flight that lifted them from Igueben LGA to Igbo lands in 1397!
I know of course, those historical records do not matter to a people who would rather "choose to identify" as others than their ancestral lineage.
The silliness of the pretend game you Aniomas are foisting on yourselves is just phenomenal!

Igbos should simply cut these people off, they are not worth having anything to do with.
A people who possess such volcanic levels of self hate and inferiority complex are a ticking time bomb.
They do not even hold a fraction of the hatred for the Middle Belt, Yorubas and Hausas who collaborated to kill them on their own their own lands during the civil war.
They have even forgotten by choice, that they suffered gruesome murders at the hands of the Binis, Urhobos, Ijaws and other ethnic groups who surround them, just because they have always known them as Igbos.
They would rather deny anything to do with Igbo and then keep on speaking Igbo, bearing Igbo names and practicing Igbo culture and traditions, while expecting Igbos and the rest of Nigeria to take them serious.
This level of self imposed confusion is what no sensible people should allow in their midst.

In fact, I think it's the Binis who should be extra wary of these shape shifting deniers of history and ancestry, whose sentiments can determine their identities.
LOL, what a funny people

Emycord:
sucker punch the last line defines the politics of ss nigeria just wait till you hear a referendum bell ringing then you will know that all political south souht are more biafra than igbo. until then everyone is free to be very stupid in the ss.
