Nigeria is passing through a curse not the Igbo. I repeat the Igbo are not worse off under the load of issues in Nigeria. We are a giant but punching below our capacity under the Nigerian system and that's why we have to move on.

I don't support violence in any way. Very sad the way the Saduana died. If he caused his killers that was his business with his killers. The entire Igbo did not sit in counsel and map out an operation to kill the Saduana. One day we will clear this issue with the northerners especially the Hausa / Fulani. I repeat that the Hausa / Fulani are worthwhile partners in a proper federation.

[s]Beg who? It will come as a matter of course. The present system is in its last days. Your present comfort zone is a mask for dispassionate assessment and proper thinking; so you will not notice that Nigeria has expired till it blows on your face[/s].

bangging:
trying to please your self right? Same ting u said about KANU now is a free man... Broz wake up and move on, don't support this government for anything...

jomonic:
[s]You? I don't think so. The Igbo are not worse off. Rain falling will always reach every mans roof top. There is always a knock on effect. My people say that he who holds another on the ground is also down. The fowl that perches on the hanging line will dance forever[/s].

jomonic:
My point is that you people are the chief clog that has made the Nigerian equation a difficult one.

jomonic:
One day we will point the torch in your dark alley. Light is the only thing that chases out darkness.

jomonic:
Yes they are brave people. I have some respect for them. No respect for those with chameleonic disposition.

neocortex:
I told my friend you guys lack principle, if Buhari was to contest under PDP
with an igbo VP, Nnamdi Kanu will campaign for him and I am sure many
igbos will be ready to die for Buhari.
Your fake hatred for the fulani north does not fool me, you are only
blackmailing your way to influence.

jomonic:
[s]Why is that a problem if Midwesterners are not Yoruba and they are happy to have their own region. The Zik I know promoted national integration so your claim is very unfounded. But Zik became aware of Awo's subterranean moves to ally with the Sarduana but pretended that he was open to political alliance with Zik. Both Zik and Sarduana understood Awo and it served as the impetus for Igbo / Hausa alliance. Hausa people are great people. It is still possible to mend fences with them if there are no external influences. Our problem with the Hausa is solvable[/s].

neocortex:
He is right, only fools learn from Experience.
If you think he is wrong, don't just bark on the
internet, put your money where your mouth is,
move your business to your homeland and let us
see how that tiny strip will contain 40 million
people.
Remember, no refugee policy.

fulanimafia:
Osibanjos comment is clearly riling up ibos deeply for two main reasons...(1) It reminds them of Nigeria's victory and the millions they lost due to their failed bid at secession and (2) It reminds them that they are currently powerless against the Nigerian military and its foreign allies if they choose violence again. What a biafra remembrance given by Osibaba.

jomonic:
Quite clearly you guys are the main reason for all the turmoil. One day it will be clear to all. You are correct. The Igbo does not really have any problems with the Hausa save the Nzeogu coup. Buhari said so in a recent expo by FFK. I mean the issues with the Hausa is know so it is solvable. What is your problem with the Igbo?

jomonic:
Very well understood. As it stands head or tail the Yoruba are not worse off. At least they have a better share of the pie from the overlord Hausa / Fulani. But they wont mind a struggle led by the Igbo as long as danger to the Yoruba is remote. This has worked very well for you so far but its really tough to appreciate this level of dubiousness.

Abeg comot for my front.
Person wey fulani don put for pocket already.
Yoruba mandate indeed . Such unadulterated dose of self-delusion.

vantage001:
I ask you to tell me about this yoruba mandate of his you are busy talking about and you are yapping poppy -cocck.
Who in their right mind want to run a race with you? Such untrustworthy people. Even IPOB and SE/SS main stream politicians have been clever enough to avoid your people.
You are already running your race alone. You and your osibanjo are on your own.

ikp120:
Bro who they elect or not is none of my business because I don't really give a fvck. I'm a neutral party who has looked at both parties and seen that referendum should be conducted for the Igbos to publicly and officially vote on what they want, just as the International community recommends. Scotland and Britain are good examples.

What I'm basically saying is that instead of the professor of law to think about war first (which is the lesson he suggested that Igbos should have learnt from history), he should think about a peaceful referendum. If he wants to talk about Biafra, he should talk about peace, not war. He's an educated fellow for literacy's sake

Or is it that the rest of Nigeria are scared of the Igbos leaving?

While he said there was no harm in discussing the nation’s existence, he urged Nigerians to use the country’s diversity to make her great “instead of trying to flee into the lazy comfort of homogeneity”.

You owe me 16b,I sold ur goods worth 11b.Who is owning who.

vantage001:
And what exactly is this mandate of his?
I thought yorubas claim to want fiscal federalism than anybody else. So in what little way has osibanjo fulfilled that?
Your Osibanjo is crying out fulani mandate as yoruba did not give him any mandate in the first place.

jomonic:
The VP is the president of Nigeria and he should speak the truth. He is not representing the Yoruba. But maybe that is how he sees himself - a Yoruba rep at Abuja. Day by day the choices are getting narrower. All I know is that Nigeria cannot continue in its present style.

Sprumbaba:
You know Onitsha and Aba are the most dirtiest cities in Africa. You have no leader that can make your country great. Orji Uzor Kalu became a billionaire on your sweat and nothing to show for it when he was a governor. Even his Mother was part of his administration.

Left for me, I will let you have your kingdom so that you can DEVELOP it.

ikp120:
You're still not even getting it.

I was not talking about assenting to votes by reps o. I was talking is something like him making reference to the House conducting a referendum, instead of him thinking of war.

Of course it's the House that will raise the motion, but he can catalyse the process by making reference to it.

A referendum was conducted in Turkey just recently, guess who catalysed it?
THE NATIONAL LEADER DID.

The elected leaders do not give a fvck. That's a fact.

When someone like the president gets involved in any national issue, even the Houses will debate on it again and again. That's what I'm talking about.

He should be a peacemaker by catalysing the process. Referendum is a peaceful process bro.

laudate:
I wonder, o!! Even if the Yorubas want to exit Nigeria, they cannot ask Osinbajo who is the VP, to initiate the call for referendum. They have to ask their own elected representatives from the local assemblies, to the state and federal levels, to do so on their behalf. Our IPOB brothers just keep putting the cart before the horse. They are fond of insulting other ethnic groups and castigating them, for not supporting their Biafran cause. Is it those other ethnic groups that want Biafra? Why should they take panadol for another tribe's headache?

laudate:
You are still repeating the same mistake. It is NOT Osibanjo's job to call for a referendum. It is the job of your elected representatives to push this request through the state house of assemblies, the Federal House of Reps and the Senate. When the call for referendum has been made on the floor of the house, and it receives the required number of votes, then all the VP has to do is provide his assent. Wake up your elected representatives. Call them to order. Ask them up to do their jobs!!

ikp120:
[s]Even a blind man can see that they're asking for exit but are almost giving up because the attention they need from the International community ain't coming that much.

The elected leaders don't give a fvck and you know that very well.

You may call those on the street riff raffs, but that won't stop them for standing for something worth standing for.

All the referendums across the globe started with the people you call "riff raffs"; they started with the nonentities but ended with the elites. The elites are now getting involved in this their struggle too bro (which is usually the final stage of every struggle).

That's how every single revolutionary move begins. It begins with those who are tagged "riff raffs", because they're the ones who are in the best position to feel the degree of societal drifts. The so called elected leaders don't feel shît and we all know that. So long as the elected leaders collect their fat paychecks and build their big mansions and send their kids to the Ivy Leagues, they're cool. They're at ease bro. They don't give a single fvck on the planet. To them, all that matters is their fat paychecks.

The "riff raffs", as you tag them, are the ones who know how hot or cold the societal temperature is; they're the ones who know how terrible the societal drift is. Bro they're the real citizens, by the time you look at it critically.

PS: I don't give a fvck about Biafra or Arewa or whatever other movement out there. I only look at things objectively and give my take on them and then I fvck off because I don't really give a single fvck bro[/s].

ikp120:
They're asking for an exit, which is 10000000% their right. Referendum is a right, not a privilege.

But what the VP is thinking about is war. Britain didn't fight with EU to exit. Scotland nko? Etc. A guy of his caliber should call for Referendum instead of sounding the trumpet of war which only exists in his head.

Bro, the Igbos have learnt, but the rest of Nigeria, including the VP, has not learnt from history.

The Igbos are doing all they can to leave. Please is it by force to remain in a nation?

Even Texas and California were once calling for their exit from USA. It's not a big deal bro.

omenkaLives:
Suddenly, Atiku is better than Osinbajo.

This is the same way they'd turn against ffk tomorrow, a man who's dīck we see them blow everyday these days.

ikp120:
Sir, does that mean that when you lose you should quit, simply because you lost in the past?

walosky:
Coward of a Vice president no wonder they called him a coordinator

dealslip:
I read this piece, I am still looking for where this man told a lie. Wouldn't it be better to reach a dialogue than shed more blood. Let us stop responding from our emotions.

uglyafonja:
I mean shoprite and not mall....

Ebony state possibly have mall....panda
River state have..... Spar

Some of the state mentioned above also have malls...l mean Shoprite

ObikeNkem:
You think we do not know how the federal government marginalise we Igbos by cooking up unsubstantiated claimas and cases just to stifle the Igbo business men.

What they did to Ibeto Cement in order to give Dangote the monopoly for Cement production, is the same thing they want to do for Ifeanyi Ubah's Capital Oil.
