mercyville:
THIS IS IBADAN THAT IS MORE DEVELOPED THAN THE ENTIRE IGBOLAND.

femolii:

FiftyFifty:
But he will continue to remain great and greater than any Ibo man/woman dead or alive.

he was killed like a common terrorist by a brave igboman. And the good part was that the terrorist was crying like a woman

GetSugaMumndDad:
The hunger to have power In their hands made Nigeria what it is today,they knew the were incapable,not as wise or intelligent as their colonial masters,they didnt have intellect to run a country but still fought to have the control. look at denmark,france,spain,portugal and many more were british colonies they let their colonial masters improve their countries to the extent they wouldnt need their help again then fought for independence.THATs WISDOM

but no my country Nigeria was just too hungry for power and chased the colonial masters away even before they could do anything.

lol...what's wrong with people today? Everywhere I look on nairaland today are poor students of history.
Please bro... before you mislead people here, just know that the bolded did not happen.

for you to be telling me that zik is President of Nigeria is a big mistake you must put ceremonial because is an image. awo was premier before akintola. the only problem of you people is hate I become this and that is osus ways of life zik is the Genesis of your problems can you point out one particular thing u achieve during zik in your south east Senate president for one year is that achievement in your region Oga that is not achievement Igbos were the Senate President from 1999 to 2007 from akadigbo to Venus what did u achieve under them. but i can mention a Lot's of achievement and development under awo in south west under awo u and your people troop down south west to survive all because awo achievement ogbeni cover your head in shame.

we were trooping to south West? Who feeds you kids these lies?

Bro AWOLOWO turned Yoruba land to African Dubai Taiwan...kudos

You have gone from comparing their political careers to comparing canton developments only seen on paper

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves

dukeprince50:
Mumu, I am from d SS region, now compare Lagos to ur state

compare Abuja to your state

dukeprince50:
I know the op was lying when he said Obasanjo said it.

Seriously the Igbo's are holding the South backward, SS and SW is developing fast but the SE is not.
Former Gov Rivers state started greater portharcourt, though politics killed it, The SW is building Eko Atlantic, what exactly is the SE doing?

let's start by comparing Enugu and heebadan first

gidgiddy:
Sowore is beginning to see the light. He is beginning to understand that this "better Nigeria" he is agitating for will never happen in his life time or that of his kids.

Self determination is the only option. If he comes out of detention and still continues with his search for "better Nigeria" I will know he is a fool

Nigeria is the only nation without a national culture or ideology. The Muslim north wants to be like Sudan, the liberal south wants to be like south Africa.

Pray Tel... How can we move in the Same direction

femolii:
U are completely wrong is better for you to say the truth than this one you are saying here, do you really know the meaning of ceremonial President Tafawa balewa prime minister is the one in charge zik is messager, zik is just a dressing status his signature is nothing and for your information awo was not in opposition, awolowo was the premier of western region then not opposition, you just types under the umbrella of hate.

lol ..poor students of history...most yorubas. I guess the civil war made many Igbos to actively read Nigeria history.

1. Awolowo became leader of opposition from 1960 till he was imprisoned. Before then he was premier
2. Akintola was premier of afonia region from 1960 till he was killed
3. Zik was premier of East from 1953 to 1959…then senate president for 1yr, then Governor general for 3 years before becoming president for 3 years. Awolowo doesn't even beging to have his stature.
That's part of the reason awolowo is only on 100 naira note while his contemporaries are in higher denominations

femolii:
Zik house boy to tafawa balewa a man that betrayed his people by running away during the war a man that end up his life as ceremonial president to Tafawa balewa I don't know the reason zik did all these to him self and his peopla, I don't even see this man achievements a man they sent out unclothedness from south west back to south east.

I blame zik for not upting to remain Independent with his eastern region in 1957 but bro, zik was more fulfilled politically than awolowo. Awolowo became opposition leader when zik was president. Awolowo was promised that he would be president after Gowon and mumu man threw decorum the wind and hustled for Gowon throughout the war

Tolexander:
You said what?

Please modify that shít

You people will not know anything, instead of you to sit down and learn, you will come here and start disgracing yourself by publicizing your ignorance

lol
U have finally made a fool of yourself and I'm loving it

For urgent info...Zika became governor general in November...a month after the useless independence

Look at my Monika and cram it... don't ever argue with it again...if u don't want disgrace


Senate Presidents of Nigeria
Senate President Term Party
Nnamdi Azikiwe 1960 NCNC
Dennis Osadebay 1960-1963 NCNC
Nwafor Orizu 1963–1966

HiztoryBox:
This is not patriotic at all

who wants to be patriotic? The north should move to restructure the country if they want other regions to feel like they are part of Nigeria

Tolexander:
The UK handed over to
1 Tafawa Balewa (Prime Minister)
2 Nnamdi Azikiwe (Governor General)
3 Jaja Wachukwu (Speaker of the house)

So where is the second Aboki?

don't be coy....Zika was not governor general then...he was senate President. The British handed over to tafa balewa and Bello...look at the pics again

Binikingdowm:
so your ethnic group wanted a separate country without any other tribes in it?

yes

The time the UK handed over the country to two uneducated abokìs over very educated southerners...just to laugh at the misfortunes that would be called Nigeria's future

Nigeria is the only country whose past is always better than its future smh

SoulB6:
Nigeria is the only country we all got

no. Until the north becomes fair in politics and also allow restructuring, this country isn't mine or that of any sane southerner

Andersonjr:
FYI I'm from the east. I'm just being patriotic

then you are being patriotic to the wrong country

Andersonjr:
There are things worth celebrating if you look deep into this nation how it has carried itself so far. We all will keep moving forward, nothing can break us.
#WeAreNigerians

you must be a northerner. Nigeria is the best thing that happened to you...so why not celebrate it. Who wants to be from Niger Republic?

When the story of how Nigeria failed is written, it will be remarked that greed and insensitivity by the north was the the architect of Nigeria's epic failure

miteolu:
Just tell us you are PDP

it is so sad that most yorubas can never think of independence. We may blame the north but at least we know why they are afraid of independence. They are landlocked. But the yorubas are another matter all together

MoIbrahim:
Good or bad, united or disunited, Nigeria is a country that has a constitution. And as it stands right now Biafra is unconstitutional. Ask any frank lawyer behind closed doors, even if he is Igbo.

lol of course...it was unconstitutional when Eritrea and south Sudan fought and got their independence

Great. This city may one day be the capital of the new Biafra.
I see Enugu losing that status. But port Harcourt needs to do more to provide security.

Biafra would join central Africa...which is by the way the richest part of Africa

GeoAfrikana:
Is hausa and Fulanis the only tribe they don't have? Definitely not.

Also, there isn't hausa and Fulani in many other undeveloped countries that are even worse than Nigeria. Or is there hausa or fulani in Zimbabwe?

So, bro, it's still a hypothesis

Zimbabwe only has an economic problem...they still have better infrastructure than Nigeria

Nowenuse:
Millions of fulanis (of the northwest) have been hausanized. They claim to be ethnically fulanis but they no longer practice fulani culture or speak fulani language e.g Buhari, Yaradua, Shagari e.t.c

How do you guys suggest that these Hausanized fulanis should be classified? Should they be Hausas or Fulanis?

Hausas and fulanis have overmixed so much, so it is not out of place if they are jointly referred to as Hausa-fulani. If you don't like it, go back and undo the history.
Infact for me, I take it to be Hausa-fulani-Kanuri (aka Core-northerners). The same retrogressive and unproductive set of human beigns.

I blame the middle belt for not cutting the core north to size when you had the chance during Gowon regime

GeoAfrikana:
Hypothesis.

no. Check neighboring countries without Fulani or Hausa in it. Ghana Benin Togo ivory coast

GeoAfrikana:
Once again some Nigerians will be here to generalize.

Northerners this...northerners that.

Easterners this...easterners that.

Yoruba this...Yoruba that.

remove the north from our country, and solve 70% of our problem

Chimaokigwe:
This one is still blaming Buhari?

You people keep blaming others but yourselves. See where it has landed you?

igbos didnt start selling drugs today. infact its now less than it used to be b4. why did the profiling start nw? who told the embasssy about igbos? is ''igbo'' written on any traveling document? why did it start nw that abike dabiri started posting tribal baits on social media whenever a crime is commited abroad.

u may not knw hw serious this is because it is igbos today....typical yorubas, whenevr u support evil against igbos it always comes back to u but u never ever learn
