Onlytruth is a psycho lmfao hahahaha

esp with your crazy ways of thinking One day you say biafra the next day you want to live and buy property in the west - LOL

Hmm Oil wells for me and paddies (Imo and Abia) sounds good better yet off shore River state- One Nigeria for Life jare. Just dont kidnap me when I come to the east and get an Oil well.

Onlytruth:
Thank you very much for that question. Here is the answer: It is because people like you who were molded by the evil sage Awolowo say one thing today and do the opposite tomorrow.

We the new Igbo age group have decided to study you and move ahead whether you like it or not.

Give us ONE Nigeria, fine by us; give us Biafra even better. Our aim is to survive and be ourselves whether you like it or not. You are hoping to remove the drive (the lion in us) in order to "Nigerianize" us, but we want to define our own Nigeria. The Nigeria we want, which we must have, is one that allows us to thrive. And we would bulldoze all obstacles to our thriving in Nigeria.

While you are busy dilly dallying, we are consolidating to a point where we would fight you if you ever dream of breaking up that country to steal our property.

lol are you joking or are you serious because im really laughing right now it looks like a joke-

you have serious mental issues - Nigeria can break up its ok with me Nigeria can stay one its still ok with me. No one is holding you guys back, do what you want son!

Just dont get in my way of making Money homie!

they should have used a young successful brit-nigerian like millionaire entrepreneur Alexander Amosu The guy was named in the top Britain's 100 most influential black Britons.

He made his first million pounds at age 25
He had his fashion line and Phone business popping in London and opended up shop in Lagos
He was on CNN doing his business
He had a TV show popping in naija

Onlytruth:
I never said that! In fact I would say let every Nigerian buy lands where ever they can afford it.
Only the weak is afraid of competition.

Awolowo wanted a Nigeria where the Yoruba would garner the corporate wealth of Nigeria by crook. My grouse with him is that he wanted to achieve that by unscrupulously annihilating his perceived opponents -the Igbo. Only a weak person will beat a man whose hands are tied behind his back. That is what Awo did in 1971 after the war. Thank God Igbo have bounced back and are moving full speed ahead to capture that same wealth through sheer grit and discipline. And this time, you have about 40 million Igbos to stop -an impossible task.

We will get there soon. Nigeria is "getable". Awo planned to deny relatively fewer Igbos their bank accounts in 1970, today there are millions and millions of Igbo with not just bank accounts, but hard properties all over Nigeria.
This country is really ours. And guess what? That is what Awolowo never thought would happen. Try to secede now and see pepper.

Igbo have a wise proverb which say " when an evil and duplicitous man dies and buries himself, one of his hands must stick out from his grave".
One of Awos hands is sticking out, . . . and it stinks! lmao!

lol yorubas dont want to secede they are comfortable in Nigeria - INFACT I LOVE NIGERIA EVEN WITH ITS CORRUPTION- as long as it goes my way.

Buy all the land you want- who cares invest heavily in other regions- good for you

BUT WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU TALK ABOUT BIAFRA ONEDAY AND THEN IN THIS THREAD YOU ARE SAYING YOU WANT "ONE NIGERIA"- which one is it do you want biafra or Nigeria?

~Bluetooth:
funny though but i'm more concern about what will be the aftermath of this rotational presidency saga.

THATS COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW

I dont why they wont to lie to the SE.

Onlytruth:
Actually what I admire in him is his honest acceptance of the truth about our situation in Nigeria which most of Igbo are still denying. Only few of us have come to see our problems the way they are. Others are not even thinking at all.
I don't hate anyone who does not hate me.

lol no hes still thinking backwards like an igbo man - If anything you people would study the yorubas and be like them.

You see yorubas know theres no power in investing in other lands beside your own because this is is Africa. My uncles have houses in ABUJA for simple leisure and because they are PDP,not for investments.

and igbo may own property in ABJ but there are more Hausas-fulanis which is why there has never been an igbo elected as minister of the FCT.

~Bluetooth:
it's going to be hard for jonathan if the election is to be conducted in a free and fair atmosphere.the north have 19 states plus the fct

there wont be free and fair elections-

"For it to retain power in 2011 , the North would not mind to negotiate with the South- West to produce a Vice-Presidential candidate for its candidate for 2011  poll. "That is why the North is ready to open up discussion with the main opposition group,  led by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the South-West for a joint ticket in 2011. "As for the South-East, the bait from the North is likely to be an agreement (North- South-East accord) that if the Igbo give backing to a Northern candidate in 2011 , they will produce the nation’s President in 2015."That option will pay the South-East than for them to allow Jonathan to be in power from 2011 to 2019. The Northern delegation will make the Igbo to realize that after the completion of Jonathan’s tenure either in 2015 or 2019, no Southerner can succeed him again."

It might work in the SE though- because Ojukwu already has thrown his weight behind IBB.

If PDP is having a southerner run as president then there no way the AC and other southern parties wont throw up a southern president.

and I dont know how they think thats possible in the SW after IBB was shunned by the Whole AC, and after Atiku decamped to PDP.

This could possibly be the time for a SW to steal the show as president maybe Tinubu for president.

EzeUche:
It says nothing about our leaders. What would our leaders have to do with this?

It is the people who chose to move to this region. And have you ever been to Ebonyi State. Enough of this hearsay. You don't hear an Igbo talking about Yoruba state unless they have been to one.

lol - backward way of thinking. If your elite are else where in Nigeria- how will your own land develop?

doesnt really matter-

because jonthan is still the one presiding over the election- northerners only have 14 states.

EzeUche:
For instance, he said “68 percent of the land allocations in the FCT belongs to the 19 northern states, but in actual land ownership, 73 percent belongs to the Igbos with the most aggressive in land ownership belonging to the indigenes of Anambra state, while Ebonyi lags behind.”

If ebonyi indignes are busy using their money investing in the capital and not ebonyi- one of the worst southern states what does that say about your leaders- If this statement is true?

FL Gators:
What does OBJ get outta this?

I smell a dear rat. . . .

pro01:
1. Political, economic and social influence (remember GJ is his 'boy').

2. Immunity from prosecution (Haliburton, power sector probe, etc.)

3. Licence to kill, steal and destroy (literally, maybe maybe not) with the assurance that he will be above the law.

He doesnt gain anything out of this except a SS/ijaw man as president of Nigeria- which solidifies th country even more.

people always think small, The halliburton case and the power probe where only used by Obj because he knows the people that took the money. But why would he indict them when they are playing by his rules-

If there as no corruption in Nigeria a southerner will not smell presidency in Nigeria-

EzeUche:
SEFAGO,

I love it when a fool lives in denial. It makes the fall even sweeter.

El-Rufai already estimated that Igbos own 73% of Abuja's landed property.

Yes, we Igbos are known throughout Africa as entrepreneurs. Go to the farthest corners of the continent and people have heard of the Igbo.

mind naming any famous Ones?

EzeUche:
SEFAGO

And you said economic power. Well the Igbos are already winning that race as we practically own Abuja and our sights will be on Lagos since our population is continue to grow in Lagos.

Igbo population is exploding and all you people can just wonder what that means. We will one day all of Yorubaland.

We are truly the "Jews" of Africa.

There you guys go again- thinking stu.pidly you think having money makes you powerful in a land where you ahve no political say.

If igbos own Abuja and are so powerful why hasnt there been an igboman as minister of the FCT.

- you guys never learn

EzeUche:
YOU SOB!

Nice to Igbo? Oh really, by starving us? Is that so nice?

Glad his region is going up in flames now. You reap what you sow.

Soon it will be happening in Yorubaland. Once the Fulani finish off what they started in Jos, they are going to move down to Yorubaland as well.

It can never happen to yorubas for many reasons

1) Yorubas are majority in the SW and ethnically homogeneous.
2)Hausas arent indignes in the SW like they are in Plateau state.
3)Hausas arent silly enough to cause trouble where they arent the majority or close to it.

Wish so for your own people- not anyone elses.

afam4eva:
Yoruba people don't seize to amaze me. Is this the same education that Awolowo gave you guys. You can't even argue reasonably.

Did you actually partake in the free education. You sound like a fool to me.

So because there was a civil war I should be going around carrying it on my head- I DONT GIVE A FUQ ABOUT WHO DIED IN THE WAR OR WHO FOUGHT IN IT. An igbo is ok with me and an Hausa is ok with me- as long as they dont overstep their boundaries.

SEFAGO:
I think the right word is cease

Second time

lol he attended school in the EAST-

The civil war didnt change yorubas outlook on Nigeria or on other tribes.

They didnt hate hausas before the war and they dont hate them now.
They didnt hate igbos before the war and they dont hate them now.

chika98:
Listen carefully to what you've just said. If you hate a certain group of people that happen to be Yoruba's then isn't the hatred going to be directed towards them?
Stop being a hypocrite! Yoruba people do not like the Igbos. Are you saying the they all think highly of the Igbos seeing as they don't say "things" about them?

You post on this forum and that alone blows that argument out of the water. Do you not see how there is a constant power struggle amongst Nigerians here who claim to be educated and thus "open minded"? Nigeria is not united. There are 3 different ethnic groups who are different and unique. The day they all decide to at least come together and put their differences to good use. . Nothing will change. It is all a down ward spiral.

Yorubas treat every non yoruba the same. thats my point. Igbos have a hatred for yorubas in particular.

afam4eva:
I think we have loads of educated illiterates in Nigeria. How can someone come here and say Awolowo was the best leader Nigeria ever had and expect no static. As an Igbo man, i respect what Awolowo did for his Yoruba people even though he did it at the detriment of others. It's ok to say he's the best regional leader Nigeria has ever produced but to say he had no equal is insanity and a grave insult to the great nationalistic leaders this country has produced. It's just ike the Jihads telling us that Osama is the best leader ever. To them he is but to us he's no more than a freaking terrorist. That the same way the Igbos see Awolowo and you can't fault them for that Just the same way you can't fault yorubas for hating on Ojukwu. Let's behave like people with at least a secondary school Cert for once.

Yorubas dont hate Ojukwu we just think hes stu.pid-

afam4eva:
Hre's the educated illiteracy i was talking about. Is your name Yoruba? How can you speak on behalf of all the yorubas in the world.

Thats why I said an average yoruba person.

I like most yorubas dont hate igbo will I vote for one?- No, not even if my wife is igbo and her dad is contesting to be president.

I dont know what your talking about by the detriment of other because everything Awo did - we are talking about was before 1960.

So what the hell are you saying.

chika98:
Whoever said that the Igbo's have a deep hatred for Yoruba's isn't fibbing. The truth of it is. . The Yoruba's dislike the Igbos and vice versa. There is nothing like one Nigeria when one ethnic group despises another. it is even displayed on this forum daily! Everyone thinks that their ethnic group is better than the other.

Dislike is something different than hatred- yorubas dont dislike or hate people Your average yoruba person in the West doesnt hate igbos if anything- he/she just doesnt associate with people who are non yoruba or people who dont speak yoruba.
So its nothing against igbo because there are yoruba who see every non yoruba person in south Nigeria as igbo- whether Ijaw, calabar, even urhobo sef.

- Igbo on the other hand- yoruba back stabbers, liars coward blah blah blah etc. . . You dont hear things of that nature in yorubaland about igbos in particular.

But igbos hatred for yorubas is DIRECTED AT YORUBAS.

EzeUche:
However, we Igbos are not as arrogant as you Yorubas to say that he had no equal.

The article is written by an ijaw and is the same author you posted about igbos.

EzeUche:
I already said you Yoruba gay that Zik is not my favorite Igbo politician. You wont hear me supporting the man, but to say Awolowo had no equal does a disservice to every NATIONAL leader.

Easterners can say the same about Dr. Okpara who is an unsung hero on the national spotlight but did a lot of good for his people and the entire region.

However, we Igbos are not as arrogant as you Yorubas to say that he had no equal.

Zik was worst than any politician or tribalist - He didnt think about igbos ijaw middle belters, westerners when he joined the north who clearly didnt like Southern Nigerians and igbos in particular.

Even Obasanjo himself  dey dash Northerners there own type of medicine with state of origin so northerners cant dip the quran into the SEA and make southern states sharia.

Only igbo people want that law gone because they no get sense for head and are selfish.

afam4eva:
Ngerians and bad belle. If you don't have anything important to post then don't.

inferiority complex what bad belle are you talking about I lved in America for over 20 years and hear bill gates name all the freakin time - Im not having an orgasm over him going to naija.

who fuqin cares

bk/babe97:
Nah, the problem wit yall Ibos is that most of yall truth-twisters, liars and bigots! U were born and raised in South Western Nigeria, which (even tho my knowledge of Nigerian geography is limited) would mean u were birthed in Yoruba country! Yet[b] U CLEARLY HATE YOUR HOSTS![/b]! If according to you, the people residing in Eastern Nigeria live "a better life" why dont you go out there instead of traversing all ova Yoruba country like a homeless Ibo man? More precisely, WHY DIDNT YOUR PARENTS BORN AND RAISE U OUT THERE, IF IT WAS SUCH A PARADISE?!!? Ibos. . . . !!!

I dont really get that either- Even if we are One Nigeria why would you go to the SW and live among people you hate or even in the North Igbos hate hausas but still live there. Like wtf

I think its because igboland is small- All igbo states together- are not even as big as Oyo state or Kwara. Ogun state in the SW Alone is larger than imo abia enugu combined and Ogun state isnt even big.

Im not against igbo people living in the SW but hating the people you live amongst and its not even your homeland- is crazy

EzeUche:
These Yorubas are still talking nonsense!

Awolowo will always remain a tribal demogague and you will never hear another group give him praise.

Dr. Okpara was an Eastern chieftain who did wanders for the East but we will never say that he did something for the whole of Nigeria

However, the "Great" Zik of Africa was known far and wide for his Pan-Africanism and was a true nationalistic leader. Awolowo is only small fish in a big pond compared to the "Great" Zik!

are you dumb read this you gay

In 1948, Abubakar Tafewa Balewa attended Nigeria Executive Council meeting for the first time northern Nigeria was represented, he (Abubakar) had this message from Ahmadu Bello, “ I come to warn southern Nigeria who behave as though they want to dominate Nigeria’s politics, especially the Igbos, who pour into the north as invaders and not as visitors.  If the Igbos continue to pour into the north as invaders, we (north) shall be compelled to dip the Quran into the sea”.   

This was before One Nigeria and before Zik contested in the Western house- Why would Zik willingly form a country- with PEOPLE that have this type of HATRED Tribalitic, Religous extremist-mentality?
Zik wanted power by all means- even if it was to the detriment of his own people- Which Ahmadu Bello CLEARLY POINTED OUT THE IGBOS- The north didnt like igbos from 1948 but Zik aligned with them anyways.
Terrible

Zik was worst than a tribalist- he was just plain greedy. He wanted to Rule the, West BY all means- even if it killed his own people FIRST and others after.

SMH Nigerians and Rich WHITE people.

much respect I have uncles that are very wealthy and have beautiful Wives and take care of all of them.

Maybe ill be like that One day- If I dont marry ill probably just have different women to mother my children.

who cares and this is late-

Bill gates ko, billy jean ni

Onlytruth:
The truth is that the East never had a SUPREME TRIBAL LEADER like Awolowo.

Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was a Nigerian leader, never an Igbo leader. Dr Michael I. Okpara was an EASTERN leader. You may not agree with me, but his constituency was the entire East -Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Rivers, Cross-rivers, Bayelsa, Ebonyi and Akwa-Ibom state.
Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was also an Eastern leader. Ojukwu's case is more peculiar because he was never a politician but a soldier - a 33 year old soldier who had to grow up within months to make decisions that defended an entire region against carefully planned annihilation.

Revisionists can try all they want, but they can never remove the tag of tribal leader from chief obafemi awolowo.

Awolowo sowed an evil seed that destroyed a nation even before it had a chance to form.

Whos said yorubas wanted One Nigeria- and stop telling Lies

I love my Edo people-

FACE:
I don't  like merry go round talks, but did Azikiwe and Bello also follow him with UNN (with branches in Nsukka, Enugu and Calabar (now UNICAL)  , the defunct Eastern Region University (now Forestry Institute)  and ABU ? Did Azikiwe also follow Awolowo with newspaper establishment and bank founding ? For the records, Western region followed the founding of ACB by founding National Bank.

He built cocoa house ? An ordinary  building for crying out loud and you want to compare that with the industrial and agricultural revolution by Okpara ? Tv station and stadium that others also built in the same era ? Free education that his people needed more than those that went to school in the eastern region regardless of cost ?

You  just stay in your small cocoon and imagine that is the extent of the world.

Without naming all the achievements by ENDC between 57 and 67 (zik/Okpara), if you can provide a few examples to replicate the following achievements , then your Awolowo tried for you. Also, besides Ibadan where else did he build anything  in the western region.

The projects executed by the ENDC during the period 1957-1967 include among others, AbaTextile Mills, Ltd, Aba; Nigeria Cement Company Ltd., Nkalagu; Universal Insurance Co. Emene Gas Plant, Niger Steel, Trans-Ekulu Industrial Estate, Trans-Amadi Industrial Estate and the Emene Industrial Estate. You have the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt and Enugu.

Glass Company Ltd., PortHarcourt; Cross River Mills Ltd.; ENDC Filling Stations;

Cooperative Bank of Eastern Nigeria; Progress Hotel, Enugu; Catering Rest Houses, Enugu; Livestock Project, Ukpor; Boatyard, Opobo; Eastern Regional Medical Centre. Others are African Real Estate and Investment Company; Niger Steel Company, Emene; Niger Cement Company; African Continental Bank; Odagwa Rubber Estates at Odagwa, Oji River , Ndi Oji Abam, Elele, and Biakpam; Oil Palm Estate, Eket; Cocoa Estates at Obudra, Ikom, Boje; Cattle Ranch at Obudu,

Industrial clusters at Enugu, PH and Aba, Golden Guinea brewery Umuahia, Ceramics industry Umuahia, Calabar Cement , etc.

you said Zik and okpara which means two peoples achievements combined - we are talking about One person's Achievements. and you are using two different people who headed the East.

Awolowos only was premier of the West -1952 to 1960- By himself.

you are saying Zik and opkara 1957-1967- Both together and after Awolowos time.
______________________________________________

If you compare dates even a blind man can see that Awolowo was years before both Zik and okpara - like really.
This is from your own statements. Its like your helping his argument that Awolowo BY HIMSELF had no equals, by you comparing Awolowo with- BOTH ZIK AND OKPARA.

If you have to compare Two people (Zik and Okpara) to one person (Awo) - doesnt that mean that individually the two you compared to Awo - arent equal to him?

Thats like common sense.

Naw he had previous songs out even before the documentary-

I dont really feel the whole Ajegunle Jamo accent- The only partt of the song that is hot is owo ti yapa si mi lorun and when he asys oti po po po po . . . .

The beat sounds like GONGO ASO- Thats why everyone feels it.

sjeezy8:
Helicopters & Trinkets. Awolowo's
Action Group is fighting all out to beat this powerful combine. By far the best organized and disciplined party in the country, its slick politicking is worthy of the U.S. pressagents Awolowo has hired to steer his campaign. He and his aides sail through the back country in helicopters, festoon the towns with modern banners and posters, and hand out books of matches and other election trinkets by the thousands. Two TV stations—the first in black Africa—will carry Awolowo's campaign cries when they start operating early next month.
