2 professors yet nothing is working in the state. Just using grammar to confuse us. Kinetic crystallisation

DMerciful:
Ironsi is dead and cannot do anything. Tinubu and Osinbajo are alive but refused to support Ohaneze and Afenifere with regards to restructuring!

DMerciful:
You wrote an open letter so its public already. Secondly, running for office in areas that are not your ancestral lands is consistent with regionalism. The Bush family members were governors in several US states even though they are from Texas. It's about popularity. Let me agree that Ironsi killed regionalism(even though he was not voted by Igbos but came in through coup), what stops us from restructuring today? Was it not Tinubu and Osinbajo that said restructuring is not necessary but good governance and fight against corruption?

If you bet with all your life that I am Igbo, you’ll lose all you have as I am Yoruba. The fact that my views do not fit into the box that you feel yorubas should feel doesn’t change the fact that I am Yoruba.

Wahala ti e ni yen.

MelesZenawi:
Sonnyboom Any opposition is now igbo. You guys really need to think out of the box.

We should even fade out the nonsense restructuring and then stick with secession so that everyone will go their separate ways.

Tomorrow if Hausa fulani flogs you on the road, u go shout na Igbo send them.


What a country founded by British and lord lugard.

uninspired07:
Well, I am Yoruba man who has lived with Muslims all my life but I still fear them because of their love for terror. The Muslims in yoruba land are largely responsible for the bulk of southern support Buhari still enjoys in Nigeria today. I know that if we are successful with restructuring in the south, the Muslims will still constitute a problem by asking for Sharia to govern the lives of all Yorubas. Muslims are very stubborn & love to terrorize.

There’s no way to solve the issue if Muslims are still in the mix—unless of course the Christians in Yorubaland will migrate to the eastern region.

GuyWise101:
What the Igbos saw in 1967 is what the oyorubas are seeing in 2019...


53yrs ago the great Igbo nation saw that the country will never work... understanding the fact that 'you can't marry or be in marriage with someone who you doesn't share the same dream, belief, ideology and vision with'


Indeed IGBOS are great.

Bros, I don't think he's just hating.
I know most of those roads Sanwo Olu commissioned in Ojokoro.
Majority of them were actually completed by Ambode.

See, the truth is, most of those roads are actually streets inside residential estates.
Some are really so short and of poor quality with speed bumps at every 5mtrs to impede driving.

Nigeria has degenerated to a point where a President is made to commission a Bus Stop as an achievement
while a governor of Nigeria's most richest state of Lagos dances for asphalting about 10kms of Ojokoro streets in total.

Just say you don't like the man, nobody will beat you for that. I detest APC because of Buhari's failures as a leader and divider, but I am not so blinded by bias and bitterness that I will call black white just to make a person look bad. I put it to you that the Lagos governor can never do right in your eyes simply because you simply don't like him, and not because he is not making efforts, as you yourself acknowledged throughout your post. If he didn't complete or commission Ambode's projects, you will say he is not working. He has commissioned them, and even you admitted that he tarred 31 roads (though you tried to belittle their significance as if it is not Lagosians that will benefit from them), yet you still find a reason to fault him for that. That is the politics of bitterness that I am talking about. But you are entitled to your opinion regardless.

Yes Ojukwu made a mistake not accepting Russia's offer because if he had accepted Russia's offer, Biafra would have won hands down because Biafra at the start of the war was already pushing the Nigerian troops off not until Britain + Egypt + others brought in air support plus increase ammunition supply to the Nigerian side that then increased Nigerian army's firepower....and coupled with Awolowo's change of currency policy that made it difficult for Biafra to import food for Biafrans, which caused starvation of Biafran soldiers and pushed many Biafran soldiers into loosing morale and courage to fight more because they became hungry, and some turned to saboteurs giving out Biafran military info to Nigerian troops just so they could get food to eat and send to their starving family members.


Igbos are truly a brave tribe.

Germany lost the 2nd world war, but the whole world fear and respect Germany till date because Germany alone held the whole Europe and their allies in a bloody world war from 1945 - 1949......which is the same thing Igbos did; held the rest of Nigeria+Britain+Egypt+Other allies in a bloody, closely contested civil war from 1966 - 1969, which other tribe can beat that record No wonder Hausa-Fulanis fear Igbo uprising like kilode.

I am proud to be an Igbo man

JonDon12:
I don't want war but Nigeria as a whole is not a viable option. Let us not forget what caused the war in the first place. The massacre of the Ibos. This was a Biggest and bloodiest symptom of The main problem with Nigeria. Its unworkability and unfeasibility due to its structure. This manifested itself in the inability of the Nigerian government to protect its citizens from pogroms in 1967. This is the same problem we are having now. Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen killings, Banditry, Buhari Tyranny and his unlawful disregard of the law.

NIgerians are suffering and still dying. There have been Fulani clashes in almost all of our 36 states in Nigeria. One estimate says that they kill over 5000 nigerians have died annually due to Fulani Herdsmen activities. SO although I believe War is horrible, In practice we are already at war

JonDon12:
That Ibo Officers killed the Sardauna, does not make it right for people to go on a massacre of Ibos. Plus this was a pogrom aided by military officers.

I agree with you, we need a better life. We can do three things; Try to work in the status quo. This I think is unfeasible and has been proven a failure. We can try and Refederalise Nigeria or maybe into a much looser cofederate structure. We did this in 1960 to 1967 and was inaccepable to everybody except Northern Elites like Balewa and Bello who neglected their own region and went adventuring in the west. This has some pitfalls and minefields but on the other hand can be easily achieved peacefully

Third Option is split. I see this as the best option. A split into 4 countries with none of them being landlocked.

APOPTOSIS:
These GUYS really displayed GALLANTRY, even more than the ones presently trailing SHEKAU.
Imagine the entire TRIBE in a Country fighting just a TRIBE....
Yet this TRIBE held on for 3 years.

This is HISTORY...

Tranquillity360:
hatred against Igbos is only thing that units YORUBAS AND HAUSAFULANIS.

fallout87:
Is Nigeria currently good?

Buhari has now allowed ISIS to invade. Is that good?

jimyjames:
Give us a video of ojukwu bragging about razing Yoruba land

Ojukwu won't brag about destroying Yoruba land cause he had a deal with a Yoruba man he freed from prison who became a commander in the Biafran army commander banjo ,
Banjo made a deal to help Biafra and Biafra in turn will help him with oduduwa

twhy111:
when will you stop celebrating mediocrity?
it people like you that shout for joy when a 1km road is constructed. you have been brainwashed that you can see beyond that as good governance.

if we don't tackle the important issues how do we enjoy the GDP growth?

and maybe you don't know we are that high on the list because we have the population to aid it not because we've done too spectacular.

Pls don't mention me again.

Davash222:
General Gowon, with all due respect Sir, go and sit down!

Chimamanda wasn't born during the war doesn't mean she can't tell what happened then. The atrocities you and your cohorts committed then is evergreen in our memories. We will pass it down to our children. It's in soft and hard copies.

You didn't prosecute the war as though we were fighting your enemies, yet you killed over 3 Million innocent people.
