Why not defect so that you win on IPOB website and on facebook and twitter? Well, I thank God for you for not going to kill ur career in Peoples Dead Party (PDP).

It is called POLITICALLY DEAD POLITICIANS (PDP).

God bless them and their boss.

franchasng:
go to Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs

I can authoritatively tell you that they do not have such database despite all the noise and past attempts at establishing a diaspora database.

He is right.

Yorubas are the majority of Nigerians in UK, Igbos are the majority in US.

Hausa-Fulani people are the majority in Saudi Arabia.

Igbos are the majority in Qatar, China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines.

Bini people are the majority in Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark.

Igbos are the majority in Malaysia, Indonesia, India.

Yorubas are the majority in Dubai.

Yorubas are the majority in Canada, closely followed by Igbos.

Igbos are the majority in South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Swaziland.

Igbos dominate in Switzerland.

You don't need to argue it

These are just your personal feelings based on your thoughts & hearsay - please provide the facts on how you arrived at the conclusions above on this interesting topic. A few web links to the publications should help or even reference to offline publications.

One thing that Marvels me most is,after all these hard working in abroad they still have nothing to show ..80% of houses, lands,malls, properties, investments,businesses in nigeria are owned by people residing in Nigeria. Only 1.1% investment here are owned by Nigerians in UK,Germany, and so called USA then 17.9% are owned by our Able G boys in Asia.

Please who can help me explain the reason behind this abracadabra

Where did you pull these figures from? My entire street in Abuja is owned by people abroad including the 2 major hotels in the area. Same at my friend's estate in Magodo Lagos. Still I won't come here & be pulling figures from my ass.

Yes, it is not just possible but very realistic.

ProWalker:
Keep shut!! Which war? There was no war! You were lucky it was a Christian northerner in the person of Gowon that was leading the war who had some soft spot for Ibos because of his girlfriend that was Ibo.

Another thing the morons among them fail to understand. The federal never saw it as a real war, forget the Biafra propaganda to portray a non-existent might. It was a measured engagement. We had pockets of those who didn't accept the memo but those who saw it as real war and fought aggressively were withdrawn from the battlefield by Gowon's government. On the side of our loud brothers, some of dem 'sophisticated' guys were even trying to fight a professional army with dane guns and cutlasses but thank God for Gowon

HomeOfMe:
Igbos are boastful,disrespectful,annoying,arrogant,etc They annoy me like crazy,but tthat is who they are. There's nothing like respect in their DNA,that is who they are. They've been living together with other tribes since the amalgamation of Nigeria. If our leaders were not benefiting from the population of Nigeria,they would have let them go long ago. But keeping them where they do not want to be,and letting them suffer continious hate I think is sin against God and humanity.

The problem here is that you think they really want to leave. No one is stopping them from asking their elected representatives to demand for a referendum. What government won't tolerate is an unelected thug forming a boy scout loud mouth army to insult & attack the elected government & people from other places. No one is stopping them from migrating enmasse back to their villages & enclaves. They have senators, reps, governors, state assemblies, local councils and even traditional rulers as well as millions of jobless chest beaters. They can leave Nigeria legitimately if they so desire but we all know they are not serious about it. If they truly desire Biafra they could have been aggressive about it during Goodluck Jonathan's government - he is from Niger-Delta and his government should have been more sympathetic. However, we all know the truth.
The truly enlightened & honorable ones among them and those who witnessed the lies of their leaders during & after the civil war humiliation will never support them. They understand & see through all the propaganda and their traditional weakness of always blaming others for their shortcomings. They are too weak mentally to accept their mistakes & inferiority complex will never allow them to keep quiet & reflect deeply about the past, the present & the future as far as Nigeria is concerned. It is always cho cho cho all over the place.

Why the outrage from Ibos? This man is a carbon copy of Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB and he was well loved for it. Why the hypocrisy and fake attempts at looking civilized here?

chiagozien:
Our people are learning so many bad things from yorubas.our people are not involved in crimes until they start associating with yorubas.

That is why i want our elders to ban yorubas from marry our ladies,and any igbo man that marry a
yoruba lady should be declare osu.

Emo wolu, eni ire lo!

Metuh Amaka!!!

In reality, Nigerians are clowns. We need to get serious. We are too laid back for a country lagging so far behind.

Is that the true story? No interviews to verify was actually going on?

cheeyoma:
The woman is long dead.

It was his first wife, May Ellen Ezekiel, that died. He later remarried.

Food. Juice. PDP

Saraki said he is fighting for Nigerians

I believe him.......................

At least those who have been deceived by hate-filled liars & conspiracy theorists can now see the stupidity of the wicked allegations but they prefer the narrative that suits their agenda.
You can fight for a noble cause without resorting to lies & hateful propaganda against those who have lived peacefully with you for ages.

Nigerians are not worth fighting for. You get the government you deserve.

Enwerem And The Missing Twin
By Reuben Abati
EVAN or Evans Enwerem, the Senate president, called a press conference the
other day at which he tried to respond to the allegations of fraud, perjury
and forgery being thrown in his direction by the publishers of Tell
magazine. He says he is not an ex-convict. He insists that he has no twin
brother, and that all the other allegations are untrue. Except that
Enwerem's press statement is full of refutations. He failed in my view, to
provide superior evidence. If he is not an ex-convict, so where was he
during the period in question. The 1940s, the period Tell alleges he was
convicted and jailed for stealing is too far away in Nigerian history. It
is convenient also to have been a prisoner during the colonial era - the
evidence could well have been destroyed in the process of building a new
Nigeria, Or well, the English probably left with their records. And as for
that controversy over Evan or Evans, what Enwerem needs to prove is this:
he needs to convince the public that he has always been known by the name
Evan Enwerem, and that at no time did he change or modify his identity. The
Senate president conveniently ignored the other matter about his presence
or absence at CMS Grammar School between 1947 and 1954. Former CMS students
have told The Nigerian Tribune that there was no Enwerem at that school
between 1947 and 1954. A photograph of the 1954 set was published in The
Tribune. There was no Enwerem in it. So is Enwerem an alumnus of CMS
Grammar School, or not? He is yet to tell us. Could it be that when the
class of 1954 was taking its photograph, Enwerem was indisposed? Or
perhaps, he attended that school under a different name? Or at the
particular moment the class photograph was to be taken, he was away in the
loo? These questions are important because Enwerem, addressing the press,
was so cool and calm and collected. He sounded as if he has a water-tight
case. He worked very hard to throw the charges back at the editors of Tell
magazine. Enwerem is turning the tables. He is questioning the integrity
and the credibility of the publishers of Tell.
These are interesting times, then. It is good and interesting that
newspapers are effectively rising to the challenge of their destiny as
watch-dogs of society. Every felon in high place that they uncover is a
step forward for society. For too long, it is the crooked and the smart who
have been getting to positions of power and influence. They scare good
people away.
But there are dangers involved in the role of the press as the guardian of
public conscience. Scandal for example, sells like hot cake. Getting one up
on the other newspaper is considered a landmark achievement in journalism.
The thrill of the scoop can be rather tempting. It can make journalists
sloppy. It can send them on the wrong trail. It can force them to behave
like the Joneses. It can make them go public with half-cooked stories, and
expose them to the kind of counter-charges that Enwerem and his supporters
are now throwing in the direction of Tell. What I am trying to say in this
regard is that the Enwerem case appears not to be as tidy as the Buhari
case. The News magazine got Buhari into a corner, and nailed him, not onto
a cross, but onto a pavement. He tried to wriggle free but The News
magazine had written their story as if they had set out on that assignment
by first taking classes in wrestling. Buhari got a pinfall. But Enwerem
looks like he is about to break loose - simply because there are certain
grey areas in the Tell report. I consider it a challenge to journalism. The
onus is now on Tell and other media houses to follow up the Enwerem story,
and get to the root of it. Enwerem is constituting himself into a major
test of Tell's credibility. The boys at Acme road must respond by going
after him with a fine tooth-comb. Call it Enwerem-gate. If that doesn't
sound fine because of the peculiarly local ring to that name, then let us
speak of Evans-gate.
I am also impressed by the manner in which history is now repeating itself
before our very eyes. Except that this process usually involves the element
of time - the passage of time, between now and the future. That is what
makes it history. But history is now being made by the minute. Life is on a
fast-track... one thing happens today, before we can fully master its
morals and messages, the same thing occurs tomorrow. Thanks to the
politicians. If the present democratic process were a video machine, it
would be on a permanent fast-forward. First, Buhari, the fake speaker of
the House of Representatives. Now, Evan or Evans Enwerem.
Enwerem has been quoted as having said that he does not intend to take the
editors of Tell magazine to court. That is clearly suspicious. He says he
would be satisfied with an apology. No. He must not be obliged. If Enwerem
has a good case as he thinks, let him go to court. Let him defend his
integrity in an open court of law. If he is right, then it means Tell is
guilty of defamation.. If the man is so sure that he can close down Tell
with a single law suit, why is he trying to be nice? I suspect there are
some skeletons somewhere that he is struggling too hard to hide. Everything
must come out in the open. And while Enwerem is being investigated by the
committees that have been set up, to do precisely that, he should step
aside as Senate president. His colleagues in the Senate must follow the
prompting from the House of Representatives, and ask that he should step
aside, meanwhile.
This is not about Enwerem or Buhari. It is about the health of our society.
It is about values, character, and public interest. The easiest way to move
from the past to the future is to break off with our disgraceful past. Old
habits must die. We are not looking for a nation of saints since that is
difficult to achieve, but as citizens, we want a nation where crooks and
fraudsters will be afraid of the law, not the other way round.
I want to end by reiterating that the present task of cleansing the
country, and resolving the Enwerem puzzle must not, for any reason, be
reduced to a struggle between those in power and the Nigerian press. It is
not Enwerem vs. Tell but The people vs. Enwerem. What Tell has done, and
this is legitimate, is to raise questions. Whoever has a likely answer
about Enwerem's antecedents, his missing twin-brother, and the task of
truth, as opposed to falsehood, must step forward now, and assist the
public. Enwerem is sounding too confident. Buhari was confident too. Like
Enwerem, he bluffed and raved. Like Enwerem, he accused the press of bad
faith. Nobody will be surprised if tomorrow, Enwerem also ends up like
Buhari. Enwerem is riding the tiger. He is like a fowl perching on a
clothes - line.
His kinsmen must talk to him, I am not asking them to beat the ethnic drum.
I want them to remind Enwerem of the parable of the thief. Buhari is a
young man. When a young man tells lies, and he falls from grace to grass,
he may possibly rise again. Enwerem is an old man. If an old man falls like
a pack of cards, he may never ever rise again. Whatever it is that Enwerem
worships, let him begin to pray.
[II: Signs Of Decay]`
Abdullahi Dool, author of Failed States, trying to explain why his native
Somalia has become one of the most ungovernable states in the world despite
its ideal homogenous nature, has listed about 25 indicators which can be
taken as concrete evidence that a country is on the path of complete decay.
Dool's indicators are quite interesting...
When remains of animals are not removed from public streets.
When broken windows, doors, signs on government offices remain unattended
for months or years.
When banks stop paying their customers for lack of cash
When uniformed traffic officers beg motorists for cash to buy themselves
food.
When electricity is out for weeks.
Abdullahi Dool should visit Nigeria. Who in Nigeria, today is worried about
the remains of animals on public streets? Isn't that considered normal? It
is as normal in fact as the failure of banks to pay cash, corruption in the
police force, broken windows in government offices, and the nation being in
darkness. All that is essentially part of the Nigerian experience. If
Dool's indicators were to suddenly disappear from the Nigerian society,
many of our compatriots may suspect that the world is about to end. One
man's meat, another man's poison, not so?

Cocaine Amaka

It's always hilarious reading dullards calling Buhari a dullard

I lost all respect for Okonjo Iweala the day she was forced to appear at a senate hearing. She was looking radiant and even demolished some groundnuts but the moment they started asking her tough questions the woman just started feigning sickness. That was after her initial bravado that she was a minister of the federal republic and should be respected. The video is on YouTube.

See as West Ham just dey slice through Arsenal anyhow.

Chochovini:
The question now is “how did she passed eventually? Her father‘s intervention abi?

He waited 4 years to intervene?

Lazy PDP Presidential 'Aspirant'.

e7ejinima:
....and before Nollywood there was......?

Globally acclaimed local movies by Hubert Ogunde, Ade Love, Moses Adejumo etc. Solid TV series like Village Headmaster, C.o.c.k Crow at Dawn, The Masquerade, Winds against my soul, Basi and Company, Checkmate, Mirror in the Sun, Second Chance, Things Fall Apart (TV version) etc etc etc etc etc etc

Lazy youth.

shoelotng:
At least this wasn't lizard meal

Obviously, but that's 100 level logical reasoning and the point should be clear.

koning:
Can't you see that Ken Nnamani finds it funny and misplaced. That's why he's laughing out loud like that.

To him it's mockery. Kenneth Okonkwo is just groveling, looking for something.

Nice try - we don't kneel, we grovel
