I got your point quite alright but I can assure you that the response I'm getting from you would be different by the time those touts show up here and this is the crux of the matter.

We all are aware that the system is flawed and has only benefited only the from both side of the divide - The poverty rate in the North is higher compared to the South East and this is what I have been trying to point out that our leaders do not represent our interest ,are they that dumb not to see the injustice ? are the people of Northern Nigeria not seeing the level of injustice they get from their own leaders too?


The problem is that we've been so polarized on ethnicity,region and religion and this makes it impossible for any movement to see the light of the day, how much more a movement that has some ethnic coloration and tainted with hate speeches and an outright call for violence.

Our problems is not just controlling the resources but holding our leaders accountable else if we control the resources they will do worse by using the resources to buy us over and anything they say goes and that would be catastrophic for the very existence of this country and would lead to chaos.

We should be protesting for good Governance , fair representation by elected officials and fiscal federalism or regionalism which will encourage growth and reduce our over-dependency on oil and gas generated revenue which is almost becoming useless and more of a burden in a 21 st century economy.

You're a sensible man!

Yes Awo foresee almost everything happening today. I remember sometimes ago;My mom was telling us that Awo warned the Yo-ruba not to follow them engage in crude oil business 'Epo Robi' that it's not profitable and doesn't have happy ending; he knew what our north-er-ner plans were.

Since we don't want this thread to link out this is what we must avoid. don't use word of Bia--f-ra . Yor-u'ba respectively ,because whenever i type Bia-fra in the search column it brings all the list of threads where those words have been used.

The question we need to ask is how is Nigeria Government will go about this plan? A country without Sophisticated National Identification Card for citizen. A Beninioise with Yoruba Accent can easy comes and collect its own 5k same apply to Other neighboring country who speak Hausa fluently. All I know is that I don't work for economy neither does economy works for me. Please I need some Orijin to cool off jare.

I read with dismay the attack on the moniker; Tonyebarcanista on how he tried to correct the Biafran agitators to stop revising history by claiming PortHarcourt as Igweocha. The attack on that monker was legendary and the insult was second to none. These are my hypothesis on the average Igbo mentality I've observed for about some years now:

(1) Unless you enter a deal with your neighbor, do not assume his sympathy or friendship with you mean he will lay his neck for you. Blaming him when he has exhaust his own limit should never be termed backstabbing or sabotaging. Define boundaries before blackmailing anyone. Because you help a lady get an appointment does not mean she must marry you; separate deals must be entered.

(2) Seems that Igbo's are too emotional to form a stable society. Its obvious that Igbo's mostly are sensational and bear grudges way too easily. They need to outgrow that folly.

(3)Igbo's seems not to wanna learn how to deal with people. Diplomacy is alien to most comments I've read from most of you guys. That's a gross weakness which has caused severe backlash from the communities they reside in. From all indications, its a gross weakness that they need to work on immensely.

(4) Igbo's are a hateful bunch when you don't share their views. It was at the height of campaign for the 2015 General Election that most Igbo's showed their hates to Yoruba's because they do support GEJ. To suddenly hate Yoruba's because of GEJ shows the myopia of the highest order from a tribe that was perceived noble. Unless they outgrow the childish tendency of -a kid who prayed that his father looses his job because he did not buy him his toy- they will forever be viewed badly. It was even such that Tonyebarcanista is facing.

(5) Igbo's are too clannish to survive politically in the 21st century unless they adjust. Most Igbo's are highly suspicious of others so much that if you catch one of them stealing and you arrest such, they will raise a dust that you are persecuting their brother and their tribe. They might call this loyalty, but I see gross folly in that stance. Men should always be loyal to the truth than their tribe or clan. Unless Igbo's address this view, their Biafra will be a state of Hobbesian.

(6) Igbo's love picking fights. First it was the Hausa/Fulani (39% of Nigeria) because they felt Boko was used against their candidate, GEJ. But since PMB was sworn in, Boko have not stopped; hence, we can say their assertions was wrong. Next, it was the Yoruba's (21% of Nigeria) because most of them do not want GEJ again. The hate was even promoted massively on their Radio Biafra. Now, its the turn of Ijaw (10% of Nigeria). These shows one clear thing; Igbo's are the ones who hate others when their expectations are not met and no one hates Igbo's till he shows hate to them.


I hope in the next 50years, Igbo's (Biafra or not) would have outgrown this their sensational, illogical and emotional hate on others. Only that can help them.

All I know is that; they need to be civilized. Go to Benin Republic ,Togo down to Ghana they don't speak good of this tribe so not only in Nigeria; The IGBO tribe raise suspicious almost everywhere.When controversy is getting too much you just have to take a walk back to see where things got wrong. I'm expecting ya insult thou lol.

donlackey:
please o!. i be don dey wonder wetin dis ibo mean self but i no cum no

let me comot 4rm pigin

this afternoon, as i was waiting for a taxi.

I heared someone calling 'OMO IBO', not knowing that the call was actualy for me.

so i turn to see who is that

there comes a lady standin behind me.

so i ask if am the one she is calling.

and she said yes that i should come and help her to carry her load to her head

and i told her not to cal me 'OMO IBO' that i prefer 'OMO IGBO'
but THIS GIRL started her usual language with hash tune, which i don't understand even one

soo i decided to leave her without my help

soo i want to ask if there is a particular meaning which this IBO has, that IGBO did not have.

i mean what is the difference between IBO & IGBO

I don't like commenting on topic carry Igbo or Yoruba but let me help you. It started by Colonial Master. Ibo was easy for them to pronounced than Igbo. So let me just put it that simple. Don't feel embarrassed because here in Benin Republic ; Yoruba or Hausa ,Igbo will be call Igbo as long as you don't speak their Funmgbe language;Even Yoruba Beninioise will call a Nigeria Yoruba Igbo. .

spyder880:

I surely commend you sir. You have been doing good. Yes, the best way is to fill that foundation with laterite and cap it; and the laterite from the soakaway will surely help to cut some of the cost... I also had mine dug so are many other peoples for several years before actually cementing it.
Once again, you are doing very well, and I meant it.
