Lagos @50 and not one single picture of a flattie. That should tell y'all something. I like the way ambode is panel beating their flat heads

Mugu unlimited..... I saw two igbo portraits as part of the former GOVENORS of Lagos, NDUBUISI KANU and EBITU UKIWE. You can't change history. Go and die!

BabaRamota1980:
Bilateral wetin? Wetin dey in Biafra for us to exchange trade treaty on? Nothing! Is there anything you have in Biafra that can increase our economy, beside labour? We dont need a bilateral agreement on labor because by default you will migrate to Yorubaland by force or fire.

You lack understanding of what bilateral agreements are meant to achieve, so shut up!

....And you think you have made sense with your wannabe junk post?

Whether you agree or not, since there has been inter ethnic marriages and some good will between some Nigerians and biafrans...There will be bilateral relations.

Idiot you want reap where you did not sow, so you can steal our investments...Lazy pig. Did anyone stop you from coming down east to invest? Is Lagos your father's property?

Did Britain fight the investments of the US and vice versa because they broke away in 1776? Your brain must have been bleached.

Finally, you can't speak for all Nigerians, Particularly those with good will, so you SHUT UP.

Alcatraz005:
Enough of the back and forth. The end will justify the means. Things will continue like this in Nigeria but igbos must give us peace. We won't tolerate any cry of marginalization from the Igbos anymore. I won't reiterate the fact that in the country, the Igbos won't go above where they are currently due to their confusion on what they really want. The Yorubas want you out but the Hausas are scared stiff due to their poverty. The real people holding the Igbos back from going are the igbos themselves.

We should all continue as things are and not rock the boat. The end shall justify the means.

I hope you have enjoyed your 11 pages of unwarranted noise on this thread.

Insecure Yoruba who has nothing but envy and fear for the igbo. We are quietly dominating Lagos, and we shall continue to.

Pro Biafra groups are on their own, STAY ON YOUR OWN! whenever​ Biafra finally materializes, then the easterners can discuss their terms of bilateral relations with Nigeria considering their investments in ALL PARTS of Nigeria (not just your brown roof region or LAGOS, the former capital city).

Alcatraz005:
Many new members might not know me here but i was a fierce e-warrior for my yoruba tribe on this platform that i got so notorious for my radical views about the igbos specifically. I had to lay off due to professional and personal commitments. I have however not failed to notice the continuous, unabated and unwarranted attacks on the yorubas by the igbos because of this biafra issue. This is a very worrisome development which needs to be nipped in the bud by seun osewa - who himself is an honorable yoruba man in whom we are well pleased.

I would say this only once to the igbos and i implore them to listen carefully. MOST YORUBAS ARE INDIFFERENT TO ANY THING THAT CONCERNS IGBOS. As a matter of fact, most yorubas hate the igbos passionately and are just being held back from unleashing their rage because of our tolerant nature and the respectful nature of the omoluabi. The actualisation of biafra is what most yorubas want so we can be rid of the influx of igbos into our towns and cities which have had serious implications for our culture and way of life. I would not belabour the point of how most Nigerians view igbos because it is common knowledge. At this juncture, i would say as a yoruba man {A christian for that matter}, that i am now sick and tired of the whinings, inferiority and persecution complex of the igbos and if i had the power, i would grant biafra before dawn. I am sure this is the prevalent sentiment with 99% of Yorubas. I dare say that if the online insults dont abate, we risk seeing radical yoruba youths unleash violence on igbos on yoruba soil. You cant be on yoruba soil- with the numerous attendant benefits- and continue to hate the sons and daughters of the soil. We need to be careful not to trigger xenophobic attacks by yorubas on our igbos brother due to the vitriolic insults being dished out on this forum. I know for a fact that a lot of yorubas come online to view the insults being heaped on them by igbos inspite of our hospitality towards them. I speak on my behalf of myself and and surely numerous other self respecting yorubas and i say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH of the insults, hate and denigration of the yorubas by the igbos. If igbos hate the yorubas so much, why dont you vacate our schools, churches and cities in droves back to the east?

The insults being heaped on the Acting President {Yemi Osibanjo} by the igbos since the biafra conference in Abuja has not gone unnoticed and is indeed regrettable. Prof. Osibanjo spoke in his capacity as the Acting President and a member of the Elite in Nigeria and could not have been expected to posit otherwise. It was funny seeing Prof Osibanjo being villified, annihilated and castigated by igbos on this forum who had hitherto taken him as their saviour in the face of alleged hate of the igbos by PMB. The sudden 360 degree turn by the igbos indeed goes to show that they are an emotional bunch who can be tossed around by whatever wind that blows in Nigeria's political atmosphere. The biafran agitation will be taken seriously by other Nigerians the moment they stop fleeing their ancestral lands in search of greener pastures in yoruba and hausa lands. Igbo elites too have to be summoned to table the issue of referendum on the floor of the National Assembly for robust debate. No amount of insults against yorubas and by extension the Nigerian state on the social media will bring about the actualisation of biafra. If the igbos continue on this ignoble path, they will never ascend the Nigerian Presidency and continue to be pariah in the Nigerian Political space. Constant cries of marginalization by the igbos is now seen as a source of comic relief to other Nigerians who enjoy seeing the igbos cry. It befuddles young Nigerians like me why such a big, industrious and enterprising ethnic group like the igbos have descended in the pecking order in Nigeria to the point where the ijaws are taken more seriously than them{igbos}

The bitter truth is that the igbos have burnt all the bridges they could have used to reach out to other ethnic groups in Nigeria through unbridled insults, malignment and desecration of other tribes and they will continue being 4th class citizens in this country. The Federal Government of Nigeria will not deploy scarce national resources to develop the east{South east} to the detriment of other geo-political zones. It therefofre behoves on the igbos to either get serious about the Nigerian project or be ready to fight the hausa fulanis for the liberation of the east. The damage has been done already and it is too late for rapproachment. We yorubas will continue to wish you the best of luck in your agitation for biafra but we wont sit down and watch our tribe being insulted and called cowards and two-faced back stabbers because we have chosen to deploy brains rather than brawn in the quest of guarding our interest in the dangerous and mine infested field of Nigerian politics.


Additionally, i will implore my fellow yoruba e-warriors to henceforth simply ignore any insults thrown our way by the igbos and lift our selves above such denigrating endeavours which serves no pratical utilitarian purposes in today's Nigeria. The responsibility to ensure the protection of yoruba interest as well as personal advancement should continuously be our overriding consideration in dealings on this forum. We should allow the igbos to stew in their own hate - an emotion which has seen them on a continuous decline in influence and impact in the Nigerian project.

On a final note, i state categorically and without no equivocation whatsoever to our igbo brothers that yorubas are not against the actualisation of biafra. Hcek, we would even grant the repeblic today if we had the power to see the igbos out of our towns and cities which would see to a general reduction in crime rates and other undesirable vices the igbos have brought along with them to yoruba land after the civil war. Statements of the likes of Prof. Yemi Osibanjo should be seen for what they truly are, the tenacious position of the Nigeria's rapacious elites who will spill blood to maintains their hold on the resources of Nigeria.


IGBOS, PLEASE LEAVE YORUBAS ALONE AND FACE YOUR HAUSA TORMENTORS.

Selah!

Wow...This is a wonderful piece of junk

Raiders:
I have been to Delta, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Rivers, Edo, Bayelsa, Abia, Imo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Oyo and Lagos state. I must say that Abia state is the most dirtiest state I have ever visited while Enugu and Delta are the cleanest state I have live at

Observations:
1. What parameters did you use in assessing these states?
2. When last did you visit these states?
3. Who was your English teacher (assuming you attended school?)

This is a beautiful piece of trash.

Pls o....For the record, CAPT CHINYERE KALU ( nee ONYENUCHEYA) is from ABIA STATE. Both she and her husband. That being addressed, let me unleash some of abia s finest:

Uche JUMBO
Nkiru SYLVANUS
Arunma OTEH


PLEASE THESE ARE SOME OF THEM THAT READILY COMES TO MIND....

Abia owing 2 months.....Not much....But NOT IMPRESSED either.... Ikpeazu what is wrong with you?

Abia is a Warrior, Anambra is Wealthy Merchant

They use different approaches in addressing their problems and achieving their goals.

BARTH NNAJI IS ONE OF AMERICAS LEADING AUTHORITY IN ROBOTICS.... Thank God he left Nigeria ministerial wahala and returned to what he has always been respected for - ROBOTICS

I envy the guy's smartness and intelligence..... Making those racists shit on their pants.....Btw, scamming is wrong though.

Mtcheeeeew.....North Korea is done for.

Urukpe:
Please define what u mean by real male friend?

A male confidante without romance attached. The male will be matured and strong enough to overcome desire to go romantic with you. They exist but they are rare.

OP, The only "brothers" you can truly have today are your biological brothers and celibate brethren. Even daddies screw their daughters up these days.

Other "brothers" are dicey. It's not a strange thing though. A lot of girls out there have misrepresented what a 'sister friend' should be too.

Just handle every case with maturity.

But to be sincere, you need to watch how you present yourself and The kind of conversation you make with guys. Every guy cannot be asking for the same thing na.....It raises eyebrows on your side.

Pastors (even priests) are human too, and are capable of being carnal when they do not 'watch and pray'. Their behavior does not take away the anointing from them. God knows how and when to handle their misbehaviour.

Anyway, I believe you will find a real male friend someday, just be patient with time.

Josefben:
My broda stop deceiving urself,dose weapons were nt built by d biafran engineers or scientists or wateva u mite call dem.dey were weapons dat were sent 4rm foreign allies wu connived nd supported u guys during d war,do u knw hw much it cost 2 build hundreds of dose weapons within a short period of tym,ur pple suffered 4rm hunger nd pestilences because of insufficient finance 2 buy food.

Dude if you must lie, pls do it with finesse. Your lies are Stark naked.

Alariwo2:
Biafra didn't produce anything during the war, stop deceiving yourself.
Everything biafrans used were bought with Naira including Mercenaries from SA, France etc. before Awo devalued it and biafra could no longer purchase anything

Those weapons were antiques brought in through the same route Ojukwu fled with

Another stupid lie born out of envy and propaganda.

Every innovation was home made, France my foot.

nonsobaba:
Until the agitation for Biafra comes under the direct control of an Anambra man, I am sorry to say that this Biafra Nigeria Ltd(BNL) being operated by Ipod(Abia) and Massob(Imo) will remain a failed/comic enterprise. Anambra men don't dull around like the lunatic heading Ipod or the fraudster who runs Massob. Ojukwu is a testimony of the Anambra-can-do spirit and no-nosense approach. Ojukwu may be dead, but his manhood lives on.

May you not die of inferiority complex in Jesus name. Efulefu.

nonsobaba:
Very ingenious products developed mostly by Anambra engineers in the Biafran army.

Nonsense. There was nothing like anambra in those days. Igbos from different communities built these weapons. Your inferiority complex is appealing. Stop disgracing igbos.

samstradam:
Ok, corrections dear Dr. Okafor

As a "historian", he ought to have made it clear that it is still heavily disputed whether Equiano Olaudah was Igbo (some mention Gambia/Guinea), let alone taken from Africa at all. He claims he was taken by the age of 10 yet puts no Igbo words in his memoirs and paints a typical postcard image of his african village. Then there is that baptismal certifcate that says he was born in South Carolina, so we have proof he (oladuah) is a man who take his liberties with the truth.

Then this same authority asks us to google Blyden, who for him is probablly Nigerias first graduate. In fact his case is the most interesting. A poor man's look at google will say his parents were former Igbo slaves (well done Raph Uweche) but looking at his life and works says far more. I mean this is a man that championed Islam being more African than Christianity and tried his best to promote it (something a typical Igbo would do). A man whose only visits of Nigeria never seemed to go past Lagos, probably it was Igboland at that time too. A man who was very prominent among the Aku in Freetown. A man whose decendants always seem to have Yoruba names, something a typical Igbo loves doing.

Infact his most prominent descendant named after him is Edward Blyden III, or fully named Edward Wilmot Abioseh Blyden-Taylor. This same descendant would later be invited by his "Igbo cousin" Zik to come and be one of the pioneer lectures in UNN when it opened, something he excelled at till eruption of the Nigerian civil war. He then does what any full blooded Igbo man would do when his nation faces extinction, he flees and goes back to his actual people in Freetown Sierra Leone. By the way he does this with his young kids who have Igbo names like Edward Walter Babatunde Blyden, Isa Jeanette Blyden, Bai-Bureh Kendrick Blyden, Dr. Fenda Aminata Akiwumi, Henrietta Cleopatra Blyden, Dr. Eluemuno Richard Blyden, Edward Katib Blyden, Dr. Nemata Amelia Blyden-Bickersteth- one would have thought after seven years reunited with his kindred he would have heard of names like Ngozi and Obinna.

Anyway he could probably correct the naming aberrations when his grandchildren are born, but wiki suggests no- a Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Walmina Oreshola Blyden (born 1 October 1971, after Nigeria has successfuly subdued the rebels).

Anyway let me round up on the great old Igbo man, Nigeria's first modern graduate according to Dr Okafor, by posting this article of how his greatgrand daughter tenders to his grave side- using Yoruba rituals.

http://lookingforblyden..com/2013/02/paying-respects.html

Very Igbotic!! Her father must have learnt that at Nsukaa!

Dear Dr Okafor, if you are writing a rejoinder and it is based on history, you have little reason not to be a bit more meticulous since you had all the time in the world to prepare.

FFK still awaits his challenger- this is sad.

This is 2017. I hope you have realized how ignorant you were way back.

Tekno is NOT overrated. Check out the positive comments about his songs on YouTube's from whites and carribeans.

His dance and creativity makes him celebrated. And he is still evolving. Personally, I consider him well rated.

Some of you haters are simply sick.

izemenike:
Do you stay in Abia state? cos that f**k boy called ikpeazu ain't doing shit![color=#770077]

Are you staying in abia state Mr otti zombie? Move on. Others have.

Ojiofor:
Have it regained it's lost glory,When?
Show me any significant project he has done or currently doing in Aba to suggest he has turned things around for good.
Any governor that can't even afford to pay workers salaries is a complete failure.
How many industries has been built in Aba under Ikpeazu's watch?

Regardless of infrastructural neglect, Aba is still an industrial powerhouse. No economic savvy person can deny that. Stop this your armchair criticism. Go to Aba and see for yourself.

Ojiofor:
That was pointless.
Primary duty of every administrator is ability to pay salaries as at when due.
Ikpeazu is owning civil servants several months of unpaid salaries.
Ikpeazu is not even good much more to be mentioned among the best.

It isn't, seeing that many people believe that Aba has lost its industrial glory.

HiddenShadow:
Keep deceiving yourself


Let him and others pay salaries and pensions complete

Wait for it to be COMPLETELY paid you hear? Keep 'paining' yourself

Ojiofor:
Aba was MSME capital of Nigeriaa before Ikpeazu was born,so tell me something else.

Then ikpeazu reaffirmed it.

The other points given by me should make you think otherwise.

chccho:
Y should I be bothered about your post? After all u are just a typical shallow Nigerian.if u can prove my post wrong then I will publicly acknowledge my ignorance here.

Google should cure your ignorance. I won't spoon feed you.

HiddenShadow:
Until then, he shouldn't be included.

Your opinion I guess.

Ikpeazu is trying. Most business summits (particularly micro, small and medium scale enterprises) see abia as their choice destination.

Ojiofor:
Can those adding Ikpeazu as one of best governors give us some reasons pls.

Give us reasons why we shouldn't.

Aba has been confirmed as the MSME capital of Nigeria due to the undying craftsmanship and entrepreneurship in numerous small scales. Osinbajo confirmed it recently.
Aba landscape and skyline is changing for good
Aba made products are becoming increasingly appreciated.
