I was stunned when I priced tomatoes in kano and like small 5balls of tomatoes was sold for 150naira.

You know those balls that look like ball bearings. I just left the man.

Tin and sachet Gino now sell for 65naira.

My man you must be over your head. Haven't you noticed that anytime the beautiful, well endowed, children of light, (the Biafrans) gather to discuss a family affair, these sons of darkness of scratched face will come to spy on us. They always try to derail our meetings and discussions and in some cases they will even attack us, what do you expect us to do? Fold our hands clap for them? Let me tell you, here on Nairaland it's a free for all, so if you can't stand the heat - get out of the kitchen.

Until Yorubas start respecting themselves and accord us the respect we deserve by recognizing that even in a million years they can never be like us, we will not stop degrading and disgracing them. Shameless People from the dirtiest tribe in he world!

I see that you are a kid and have not really done much in pushing the Igbo course. You have not gone far and wide and consult with people. You only spend time online and shout respect. What do u know about respect?

Have you sat down and analyse the future of the so-called Igbo course you champion online? You better check your home well before insulting other people's home.

I don't really know how to banter words online but u should please quietly take your time to analyse and not fantasize about what the igbo race should in the next 50years.

I am very disappointed at the behaviour of all the Igbo's in this forum chest beating over simple issues.

How did you guys stoop so low like this?

Didn't they teach you in the village about this attitude? Is it because you guys have stopped attending meetings and visiting real elders that's why you are making mouth?

The problem with you "new generation" Igbos is that you are working on your fathers success. Making noise! Not knowing sooner or later it will be your turn to lead.

Is it by boasting that you will get there? Is it by boasting our fathers worked hard from the crumbs of civil war to now?

I am so ashamed of what you all have become!

Make progressive conversation, you changed it to boastful discussion.

You all need to watch it because evening is coming and we must all go home to our families.

everybody don turn prayer warrior, issokay...Mr Momodu hope you know your neice needs your prayers more? iranu

Your ability to reach out to other people in your imperfect state is what makes you great.

He doesn't need to have a perfect niece to be able to reach out to other people

The problem with all the guys commenting so far is lack of real life experience in the different geopolitical zones in this country.

I understand tho, you don't travel and base most of your arguments on online rants.

MirabelArode:
Before Kanu called out the yorubas there was an Oba of lagoon who openly threatened the Easterners. Do you want us to convieniently forget that? Pls reply me, I would like to read your defense here.

Ma'am, the problem you have is that, you know too little but you speak too much.

Not cool

Very sad

malton:
Imagine this to.ut!

Na your papa and uncles put the oil there?

I'm sure you'd rather the monies are embezzled instead?

Be spreading hate, until it consumes you!

How were you to know national values when you trash-talk even the ones who toiled to raise you.

Shut up Mr Man.

I repeat, shut up. In fact shut the hell up.

If you like it or not, its our father's land and its not your concern what we do with it or not. Their fathers' land have gold and other solid minerals, let them use it. Have they come out in anyway say that we should share from the proceeds from gold and other solid minerals?

Go to the far Northwest and see them blasting goldrich rocks and sell it to foreigners.

I know because I have been there and seen with my eyes.

So their fathers put gold in the ground ba


Nonsense.

Chiwude:
I'm an astute follower of the principle of attack before defence. The Fulani herdsmen are having their way because they practice this principle and Igboland shouldn't be any difference if we must survive these onslaught, whether they (fulani's) are backed by the military or not. It's high time we start giving these invaders a dose of their own medicine.

It is not a matter of what a holy man will do. It is about what you will do to survive. These men do not give a damn if you live or not. They want to kill you, best thing to do is to take pleasure in killing them in their droves. Drive horror through their spine and let's see their total population in the world that will fight for them.

Defenders hardly win battles. Attackers do!

If you fail to attack your enemy, he will see it as cowardice and do it again. Its a simple principle of war. Attacking is the best line of defence. When you attack sensibly and kill many unawares, they will be scared. Attack multiple times as if you are addicted to killing them. They will grow so horrified that they will need to migrate. You need to create fear unprecedented that the only option is to run.

Don't ask anyone to defend, ask them to attack. Keep killing until u get blood lust when u smell them from afar, that is how you build defence.

Starr donating money to buy weapons and start killing people. Be your own militant.

Look for them, catch them and kill everything they have.

Just keep killing.

This singular act of Ugwuanyi is enough to vote him out in 2019. He should not go close to the state house after next election.

kettykin:
Ogun igr is 99% from foreign investors while Anambra igr is 99% indigenous. That is the difference and why there is chest beating

You are right but the chest beating by the guy is too local and will not benefit anyone.

Stop spreading unfound news bro.

It is not funny to say the least.

Awka is coming up.

God bless Anambra state

Okay

Many people lack, I mean lack in the whole sense of it. The right mind to think. They just argue emotionally and make things difficult for those who intend to learn from them.

Did you read the news that nnpc will give 200 tankers fuel to the country?
Did you read where they cited that capital oil will start rolling out the tankers today?
Do you think there was no fuel all these days of scarcity?

Nnpc made a deal with a willing man who wants to save the country. He obliged and wants to sell. Do you think if all the marketers release fuel, there will be only 200tankers rolling in the country?

Kachukwu came out because he saw a willing marketer to release his fuel to the public. But news will not carry it that way because nnpc want to serve as a saviour and undermining the generosity of this man.

Your fuel scarcity is as a result of your men unwillingness to buy from marketers. So they hoard their products and sell at their own price.

So stop talking and give him praise for helping you ungrateful lots.

To be frank, knowledge is not about typing big grammar but actually knowing what is happening in this country. Most people arguing here are not in the north but they claim so much.

The truth remains that, if you don't know what is happening, try as much as possible to ask questions and make life easy for you.

What you think about the north is not what is happening in the north. Our statistics in this country is really faulty and we might never know what the real situation of the country is in terms of agriculture.

Close this thread.

Nothing is coming out of this thread.

Very vocal but no action

They have started again.

All talks, no action.

Start making use of ur numerous comments and work towards it.

U guys should keep ringing it in their ears.

I don't know where these igbos come from.

Somebody pinch you, you scratch everywhere. Kindly stop all these stupid comments.

Learn to ignore.

The truth is, whenever we open igbo threads here, we smear it with arguments about who is igbo and who is not.

Let's discuss productively, that's why I am here. All these nonsense arguments will take us another 20years and we will not plan to make things work.

We can only achieve something if we work towards it

I am writing you all now because I believe you are all youths with a vibrant spirit and most probably the future of our people. Our lackadaisical attitudes towards things will spell doom to us in the recent future if we don't start to act now. Who do you expect to open doors for you when you can't even open your own doors. Everyday we clap our hands that our governors are doing things that should've been done like 20years ago.

An average igbo man or woman sees the east as a retirement home. He doesn't believe that he will make billions there. He feels going back to the east means resigning from active life. Its means life struggles are over, just go and do small farming. He feels he needs to leave his fatherland and go elsewhere before he can be regarded as somebody.

That should not be the case, we shouldn't relegate our home to retirement homes. We shouldn't make it look as if living there isn't worth it. We blame our rich men who do not invest in the east but to be frank, how much profit will he make from staying in the east and competitors taking the market in Lagos where all of you have run to. Do you think they are been inconsiderate because they invest in Lagos? No. He can argue that the pooulation of igbos in Lagos is more than that in Ebonyi. He has a point even though its stupid.

The igboland needs rebranding, it needs money to flow in it. Let me explain business opportunity to you. Its like a king who threw coins on the ground and wanting people to pick from it. If he throws plenty money on ground, more people will get more money but if he throws few, less people will get less money. Igboland needs money to open its potential. Our governors do not have money to fully open the region. They will only but they will still lack that extra touch to make an economic vibrant states. The states needs you and your input no matter where you are. We don't have rich states but we have rich people. We have people that can upturn the fortunes of the states if we try as mucg as possible to work and make it happen.

Plans are in place to revolutionalise the east but the problem is you. You only argue online but do nothing in real life to make it good. Its time to work and suffer now. Because tomorrow will come when a new dawn comes.

I am not here to praise my tribe or rub shoulders with anyone. I am angry and pissed at the recent discovery I have made through my numerous travels in this country. I am so sad that God cannot even remove this pain in my heart. I feel so bad that these things are happening to my brothers. It started like just loving my brothers during the end of the year parties. I stayed around longer than my siblings in mingling with my fellow nanka smalls boys at Ojo road where we do celebrate the party. Why won't I love the party? Apart from the big rice and meat and many tamimoroko we enjoy in the party, I was given gifts for coming out first in class. So, it has been something I always enjoy. I enjoyed seeing my fellow kids and my dad will whisper in my ears that "look at them very well, they are your brothers". He will tell me how I was related to them.

Now, you get the picture of how I got love my people even when I didn't grow up in the village.

I have been to different states and I have seen things first hand how we have been dealt with and I have always taken time to research on how to bring our "knuckledhead" brothers back home.

When I heard that the Oshodi market was brought down, I said I should go there myself and ask questions. I believed that since I stay in Lagos, I can get firsthand information of what happened there, and not depend on online arguments to draw conclusion. I got there on a tuesday and went directly to my friend's place. His name is Omoh, an Urhobo guy from Delta state. I didn't ask him any question when he told me what happened. Laughing at me that my brothers should be wise that what he saw there was deliberate act of destroying igbo businesses. In his words, truthfully, I quote

"It started like a joke when I saw a them destroying shops and the traders were blocked from entering their shops to even take their goods. One of traders even offered to bribe one of the security men with about 500,000naira. They said no. One of the traders sat down opposite the site and was reading "complete sport". He was just murmuring and crying under his breath that he is finished. He just imported goods of over 5million naira in the shop. He was just devasted."

As he was talking, I shed tears but had to cover my face to form "strong man". He said my brothers should take it as hostility turned physical.

I went to the market directly opposite the said market and I got information about it from them. Things were not clear but what was clear was that, it was an attack against us.

Before I left Lagos in January, I heard that the trade fair will be Converted to trailer park. We have many igbos in that market, who built houses around Ojo LGA. They will soon be rendered jobless and without businesses. It will be a pathetic situation if that happens. We need to strategise the best ways of making these people go home. You might feel unconcerned because they are not your blood relatives but the truth is, when they are rendered jobless, they will the ones you do offering in church for to cater for them.

Now, I came to Kano due to the nature of my job to deal with some sites here in Kano. Before I left Lagos, I heard that igbos dominate a place called sabon gari. When we got down from the airport and was going to our hotel, I asked the driver to first, take me past, sabon gari area before heading to the hotel called "grand central hotel" owned by Atiku. I saw how the place looked tattered. No good roads, just dirty shops.

Igbos have investments in the north. Very big investment, even with the dirty shops. Igbos clearly dominated the area. With hotels, schools, canteens, businesses the mainstay there. But we have a problem, the hausas are trying to be smart, they are doing every form of trading igbos do. They are trying to push us out of the state. Even as they have chased the igbos out of other parts of the capital and limited them to sabon gari. They have come to sabon gari to encroach more and more. It is their land I know but there is no freedom in Kano for the igbos. Some of our girls have turned into prostitution, while some sell in taverns. It is not a very good site because, it looks like a dejected place to the normal Northerner. A place for the "others". The roads are untarred, no light there, everything is wrong there. The rate of prostitution there is high. The hypocrites will come there and ease their sexual urge and leave. They see there as sodom and gommorah. Our brothers are suffering just to do business. Its very bad.

I have seen many buy I can't go on because that's not the reason why I am writing you all.

kay29000:
I understand what you are trying to say. I served in Anambra and...let me not say much.

I served in Ondo state too and if I tell you what I saw in your capital, Akure. You will cease to hold your stand against the igbos. Or are we going to talk about the different centres in Ibadan?

Please, we all have villages with illiterates, that does not underscore the intelligent ones among them.

sickstars:
I didnt insult d only insult i gave op was dummy md jealous lady u dont down talk any lady to make another lady look pleasing its wrong

Like criosly am just here defending students nd oda females with good characters bt avnt found a job

No one even is tinkin of d economy state like say job easy to find for naija like dat

She did not mention in any part of her article that dating a student is bad. But believe me or not, dating students is risky.

So many unstable minds with many guys disturbing them. I know some who are good and doing great with their lives. But what my colleagues have seen from these "catch them young" girls is enough to make people rethink. Its a two way thing.

You can't tell me that all these 18year old students really know what they want, we all passed through the university and have seen these girls misbehave.

The working class ladies really have little or no time for frivolities. They have been to places, seen how to treat people and accommodate different minds. They have been able to work in scheduled time and deliver. They can manage so many things with the pressure.

To be frank, working change people. It helps to clear the head and also make you focused on a particular goal. Many students disturb for the slightest thing. Its tiring jare.

The economy is too hard for child-like behavior now. Everyone is cutting cost.

sickstars:
Imagine a lady wakes up to open a thread to counter fellow ladies chai all cos dey are students
