1.You made some nice points and as someone like me that is open minded I can afirm to that.
2. Your biased views towards the church made you to generalize that no pastor is after the soul or well being of his members...
3. I will advise you to be open minded so that you can criticize rightly... Your write-up will only portray you as an antichrist...
4. You twist facts of the bible... You are implying that Jesus didn't come to this world to die for our sins... You have a very faulty and messed up foundation maybe as a result of the books you have been reading and the people you have been interacting with that have mentored you in error...
5. Your hatred for the church shouldn't stop you from being objective and it also shouldn't make you to lie against the church... I will have to agree with you that some/many of the things you wrote are true or half truth...
6. There are people that have been to church and have been healed from diseases, some have become better humans/Christians, others have received favours.... So the church is not as useless as you try to portray it...
7. Your blindness towards the good side of church has made you not to see that there are Pastors in this country that have spoken against this present government.... From Apostle Suleman to Father Mbaka etc... Many have spoken against the government... But because you see nothing good in Pastors you decided to lie the to public of which some of us are more informed than you ...
8. I like some of your topics on spirituality cos it helps me compare notes with some things I already know...
9. Everything I wrote above , is to help you be a better critic so that next time when you begin to criticize the church, you may avoid the temptation of hasty generalization...
Igboid: You can't use the misnomer that doesn't even have constitutional backup to claim Igboland. SE is not Igboland. Igboland spilled into SS and NE and will not accept any attempt by anyone to limit us to imaginary SE.
Ndiigbo expect minorities like you to stick with your ethnicity and not be hiding behind SS tag to make vacuous statements.
And as of minorities knowing that we have same enemies in the North as them. I highly doubt that.
1979 and 1983 presidential election results where Zik got least votes than Shagari and Awolowo in minorities areas spoke clearer message.
Lol... Oya make una go collect South South land make I see ...
H1man: I'm glad that the people of the South South are gradually coming to terms with the fact that we have a common enemy, come to think of it the people of the South East are so hated today by Buhari because of their dogged support for former president Goodluck Jonathan who was an Ijaw man the same way they rallied around former president Obasanjo a Yoruba man against this same Buhari and we know Buhari doesn't forgive, so why give up your brother for slaughter just because you don't speak the same language, today the South South might be at an advantageous position but remember that when they are done slaughtering your brother they will come after you.
The South South has always known we have a common enemy... It's you igbo guys that insult us because we told you the truth that South South cannot be included in Biafra in as much as we support your Biafra... I also have igbo blood in me , so there is no need trying to deceive you.... The South South and South East will function better as different countries because there will be mutual respect.... You can imagine if Biafra was already a country ' Nigeria will have no choice but to respect it...
SoNature: It's even a good thing that South South people are rising up to dissociate themselves from the divisive statement of the clueless oldie in Aso Rock.
What you Igbos don't understand is that we the South South love Igbos but you guys keep insulting us because we say we will not form the same country Biafra with you... We can cooperate very well as brothers but not to be part of Biafra.... Even these people in this write up that spoke to defend the Igbos were clever enough to say that although we and the Igbos may have some differences but we have a common enemy.... You guys seem to hate either the truth or people that will be honest with you...
Igboid: Lol! You are either Igbo or you are not Mr Man .
Ndiigbo will no longer accept chameleonic people in SS who comfortably switch between being Igbo and non Igbo as it pleases them?
I don't know any Igbo who wants non Igbos in Biafra. We all want only Igbos in SS in Biafra.
Who does FG fear more? Those who cannot be bought over but are capable of causing another civil war at a time Crude oil prices are at low and the country is saddled with crippling debt and terrorism up North. Or those comfortable in their slavery who all it takes to keep them chanting One NIGERIA is to meet few militants and make them billionaires over night while the rest of the populace live in squalor? I will leave that answer to you. Not like Ndiigbo are interested in being important to Arewa controlled FG like some people in SS are.
How exactly have Ndiigbo ever hated minorities? Look in 1979 and 1983 Zik contested for the Post of presidency and guess what? Of all the three leading candidates (Shagari and Awo and Zik) Zik got the least votes in all Southern minorities states of Bendel, Cross River and Rivers State. That's how strong your hate is.
But how did we pay you back in 2011 and 2015? We gave GEJ over 90% of our votes. Compare and contrast!
richmond500: u think Wike would have done the same thing if he was the president?
Did Douye Diri, the governor of Bayelsa state gave back the money to that councillor who fixed bridge with her own allowance. Nobody tell Wike to fix federal road and he wasn't even expecting to be repaid but PMB paid it back. How many past presidents has initiated programmes to favour the youths just like PMB is doing? Abeg the man deh try, appreciate something for once
It was Ameachi that carried out the project and GEJ refused to refund... But Ameachi as a Minister worked for the refund of the money as was confirmed by Fashola when he came to commission project in Rivers State...
Eastlink: You are not Igbo, keep kwayet. No rightly South-south Igbo will prefer to join Niger-Delta republic. We might dislike the Biafran idea, but Niger-Delta republic, God forbid.
Lol... It doesn't change the facts. If you have been following my comments , you would have seen where I said I prefer the SS for some reasons despite being both Igbo and SS. I don't expect you to understand.. SS will not be part of Biafra... The earlier my Igbo brothers realize this the better for them... We love the Igbos, but that doesn't mean we want to be part of Biafra... But you guys keep insulting SS just because they said they don't want to be part of Biafra... Whenever you guys wake up to this reality, then your Biafra is closer ...
Igboid: You are either Igbo or you are not Igbo. Nothing like more Igbo or less Igbo.
Just try and represent your own clan in SS and not try to speak for everyone in SS. That's my point.
Ndiigbo never hated or loved any group. We are like mirrors, we reflect what you place before us. If you come with love, we show you love, if you come with hate, we show you hate. This is why I think IPOB is unnatural and un Igbo. You have them giving unmerited love to groups who are only out to show Ndiigbo hate. That's madness and un-Igbo.
Lol... Even America, they have what we call African American... I know that it's needles explaining this whole issue of SS and Biafra cos your minds have been programmed to accept SS as part of Biafra but I am only doing this as a lover of Igbos of which I am also an Igbo Man by blood.... This people of SS love the Igbos, if for nothing, the Igbos supported their own very well when he was in Power... You guys are the ones unknowingly bringing bad blood between SS and SE because of your insistence on wanting SS as part of Biafra... Ask yourself this simple question... Who does the FG fear more between SE and SS... Of course you know the answer ... I have done my part by telling you the truth both as an Igbo Man and SS man... It's left for you guys to use tongue to count your teeth
Igboid: And most Igbos have problem with you because just like above, rather than speak for your specific ethnic group, you decided to claim to be spokesperson for entire ethnicity in SS including the proudly Igbo ones. You are ultimately guilty of same crime you accuse IPOB of. You want IPOB to restrict BIAFRA to Igboland which I agree. But in same breath, you don't want to restrict Niger Delta to your own ethnic group. You should learn to do what you preach. It's a well established fact that a significant chunk of SS is part and parcel of Igboland. So why are people like you pretending to speak for everyone else there? Why should you have the Monopoly to use SS and make blank statements without being judged but Igbo groups in SS cannot do same?
If you say SS is Niger Delta republic, you expect me to understand that you are referring to non Igbo parts of Niger Delta. But when I say SS is part of Biafra, you want to kill yourselves and refuse to understand we are speaking of Igbo speaking parts.
l am more Igbo than even Niger Delta however due to certain circumstances I prefer my Niger Delta roots while I still have my love for the Igbos... Take this to the bank... Nobody is forcing anybody to remain in South South... When you guys make your country with your 5 states, you can bring over anybody that wants to join your Biafra from the South South... Even South South is not so united that we will all want to be together... Maybe Edo and Delta may even form their own country .... But it will be very foolish to think that any state in the South will want to be part of Biafra... They will rather form their country... We know how the Igbos suffered and were heavily marginalized in Nigeria and we will not foolishly make the same mistake to be part of Biafra.... By the way, we love Biafra... Many of us in the South South are even related to the Igbos... I will always love the Igbos... Sorry for thr typos
Firstly, this thread will surely make frontpage...
Secondly, you are asking the wrong persons... Why not ask the seer what you should do about the revelation or what ways you can catch your wife red handed
tungamaje: I haven't read the nairaland ND people 's spokesman Ekpeboob abi Ekpetit's response I want to hear what he will tell this Ijaw group who said they Igbo blood relatives
What that woman said it's the truth... Igbos are related to us the Niger Delta people... We can't deny the Igbos what is good for them.... She just spoke the mind of Niger Deltans which also means that in as much as we support the Igbos but we will prefer to have our own Republic where both countries of Biafra and Niger Delta can cooperate .... The embolden is where many Igbos get it wrong and they begin to insult us... I believe even Nnamdi Kanu is beginning to understand that what is delaying Biafra is the inclusion of South South...
Your boyfriend is not just an insecure scumbag who is unappreciative of the lenghts you're willing to displease yourself and go to so as not to put a financial strain on him, he is also emotionally colour blind not to see all the red flags that show that you are an undercover whoore whose kpekus is being shared..
michelz: In the event that Nigeria eventually splits up, how about the Igbo-speaking people in the South South? Where do you reckon they will align?
It's no crime if they want to move over to the South Eastern States or if they want to have dual citizenship... As for me, I have strong links with the East and South South.... I also know that Igbos have been treated unfairly after the Civil War so I sympathize with them... It's better to let them go in peace.... Without sentiments I can say that many persons in the south south sympathize with the Igbos but that doesn't mean majority want to be part of Biafra... I love Igbos n I hope they get there freedom from Nigeria...
