gidgiddy: Innocent Soldiers? Nigerian Soldiers are well known for indulging in brutality, torture and extra-judicial killing of unarmed defenceless civilians, theres nothing innocent about them
Obigbo was just a case of Governor Wike turning his an Igbo area of his state into war zone out of hatred for Igbos as well as his future political ambitions.
There was nothing that happened in Obigbo that did not happen during that ENDSARS time in every state in Southern Nigeria. Protesters and security forces clashed, Police stations were burnt, lives were lost on both sides, protesters and security forces alike.
While other Governors were trying to calm situations diwn and avoid further loss of lives and property, only Wike decided to inflame the situation in his own state
With no investigation, no proof and no evidence, Wike got up and blamed IPOB for the violence and killing of Soldiers...
Let me just add that when trading in such markets avoid those hustlers. Simple. Go straight to an established business to trade, whether you're new or not. Maka ndu gi.

donproject: Heart of a normal man is pure and innate at birth. He comes to the world and start learning different things, behavioral pattern, how to speak, how to do basic things. His environment plays a role in what he becomes.
I said heart of a normal man , I didn't say heart of an Igbo, their hearts are pre-configured to dupe, extort, trick their unsuspecting victims at birth. It is this dirt that they carry all around and they start dispersing to different geographical location, mixing and mingling with the locals, corrupting them in the process.
This pattern can be likened to the plague the world is facing now, COVID-19, you know the story of where it started, it was not contained within the demographic space it was discovered, and boom! It becomes a pandemic. Igbos are like that virus corrupting other tribes wherever they go.
I'm surprised no one has proffered a solution. It simply means your prayer life is weak and the devil is lurking about close by. Even if you've been praying, your prayers have not been heartfelt, have not been done properly or have not been chanelled in the right direction. Generally, it signifies a weak spiritual/prayer life Uyaincomparabl.
Malawian: I cant wait to go to the village this year. I want to sweep ezi ama once again with that broom. I go do all village stuff this year by the grace of God.

Lol. So you sabi say na Yyeske be that? Ozu na-aga ije.
Maadoo: You obviously don’t know that, a UNO state of Cameroon is a plus for Biafra. There won’t be an old Cameroon to connive with, to block Biafra of arms and food supply anymore, not to talk of the fact that Ambassadonia and Biafra are brethren United by same struggle for freedom.

My point is Yoruba's too have a hand in Nigeria's problems. If Nigeria is today a rogue state, a bandit state, we too helped in making it so just like the Ibos, Hausa-Fulanis etc. I refuse to blame any tribe for what has happened to Nigeria. We are all involved and we must all solve this together. Leaving the Union is defeatism and a nation is not built on defeatism or on frustration.
SPECIFIC ISSUES
I now address specific issues about the proposed Oduduwa Republic for your consideration.
There is a lot of fantasy, incoherent inconsistencies, phantasmagoria about the Yoruba nation.
Some people have a hidden agenda but they don't want to tell us. All they do is to couch their demand under the dubious revival of a glorious past in a supposed Yoruba republic. We should be careful.
We talk of the past as if the past is Eldorado's. It is not. We talk of Awoas if he was perfect and a saint. He was not. He was a great man, perhaps one of the greatest from this land but he is not god. He never saw himself as such. I am old enough to know him and to read his campaign speeches.
The man who was promoting the Oduduwa Republic from the video footage made some interesting statements. Funny and amusing.
He said Yoruba land had television before France. This is not a good argument, even if it were true.
I ask you, is television an achievement? Was television invented by a Yoruba man or woman? How much of the history of television do we know?
John Baird who invented it cried when he saw the havoc and the perversion of purpose that his invention was been used for as against the intended purpose. That is why it is amusing that in 2020 someone is crediting television as an achievement. So I do not see how having a television in 1949 ahead of France gives us any cause for laughter.
Congo has printed as far back as the 18th century before many European nations due largely to Catholic efforts who needed it. Of what use is a technology without the know-how to operate it? Is the PDP a success because the GSM telephony occurs under their watch or because MTN came under their rule?
I am also surprised that someone is celebrating 50- storey in Dugbe, Ibadan as achievement. It is not, it is a bad investment, a developmental mistake. High rise structures are built where there is a constraint of land space. I should know. Ibadan or Southwest did not have that problem in the 1950s or even now.
These are the list of firsts Yoruba's are touting that they want to recreate the Awo miracle. This would be a fatal mistake because none of their proposed leaders is an Awo or in the mode of an Awo or an Aluko for that matter.
PortHarcourt1st: Rivers people are the cause, they prefer Ak47 than education and development. They collect money from nimasa, oil companies etc, and go after small girls. Rivers people are so useless
