CEOJAMIENAIJA: Sports writer and broadcaster for BBC Sport, Oluwashina Okeleji, shared these surprising new revelations miniutes ago. British boxing champion of Nigerian ancestry, Anthony Joshua, wanted to represent Nigeria at the 2012 Olympics, but a coach in Abuja told him there was no chance.
Joshua reportedly asked to join the Nigerian trials but was told that if he was good enough he'd represent England instead of coming back to Nigeria.
ZombieTAMER: Blame Jonathan not Yoruba race Tinubu has cast a spell on all Yoruba Muslim They will always do his bidding whereas Jonathan had the opportunity to make Nigeria work... But he messed up
Blaming Jonathan will be greatest undoing because during his time I saw a country with a plan. Yes, he was liberal, but you don't expect him to act like a dictator in a Democratic government.
Look at Nigeria today, does the country have any plans? we are in April and the budget has not been passed!!!
I still blame Yoruba for their hateful politics and Yoruba Muslims for their religious bias.
Splendid235: During the build up to Nigeria independence which igbos spearheaded,Britain did this same thing when Mbonu ojike was incarcerated.our people will not lose focus.we have gone this way before so no qualms.if they want one mile, we shall go two with them.in the end,according to Nnamdi Kanu;BIAFRA will come.
I blame Yoruba race for all the calamity befalling this country. How they stood by Buhari who is very old and technologically handicapped in this modern era is what am yet to fathom. Their stupidity in 2015 general election will eternally hunt them.
Buhari is a good man, maybe, but he's old and docile. How could he make sane decisions in his old age when he's lacking in modern knowledge and politics? Even efcc is now compromised to defend his incompetence instead of taking a cue from the messenger. spits***
Iamwrath: Just like i predicted FBI declared one of your elite brothers wanted over $5M fraud , it's just 7 AM monday morning , i'll sure quote you all day t remind you how your people have been developing the land
I'd rather sell drugs than be a barbarian with an cannibalistic instinct. People achieve great things from the proceedings of drug but who has anyone been great by being a cannibal? Yoruba people should change, cannibalism and barbarism is no longer welcomed.
Iamwrath: Every other comment was sympathy , curses on perpetrator , But you turned it to tribal issue , the first person to accuse some tribe , but one of your brothers captured by dogs yesterday , we didn't see you comment
It's a mentality , i am pretty sure if we start a counter today monday 17th, your people would have broken 30 records before the afonjas do
looking at this one talking falsehood. Which tribe competes with Yoruba tribe in terms of cannibalism, barbarism and fetishism? Even in far away Benin republic which is the ancestral home of Yoruba, barbarism is the norm there.
when I see any person that has never left the shores of Africa smoking in this tropical temperature of ours I feel like slapping the person. Only a wannabe smokes in Africa.
I may exempt those that have lived in temperate regions for long because smoking is addictive, but those that stays in Africa that smokes cigar, That's bullshit.
weed smokers do it to get high but that doesn't remove the fact that smoke is an irritant to the lungs.
Bollinger: And it is this mentality that will keep you all under impoverished for all time. Even the U.S knows the value of diversity which is why they do the annual DV lottery. Without diversity, America would not be the super power it is today. Why you people won't learn baffles the mind.
where was diversity in Israel,Japan,China,north and south Korea,UAE, etc. Another slowpoke on the loose.
Afam4eva: I think after the North, the South-South (Excluding Akwa Iboma dn Cross River) comes next as far as shameless human worshiping is concerned. This is the only place where criminals are celebrated in the open even by people in the highest political offices. It's shameful how the most celebrated people from these places are either militants or thieving politicians.
No! After North, Southwest is the next region that celebrate mediocrity. All the respected figures in southwest are polithiefians, from obj to tinubu. north, southwest, southsouth and others. That is the order of zombie followership in Nigeria.
This is how they abuse little children into believing they are gays. When the little boy grows up, he will be like "I feel I'm in a wrong body" he will open one foolish blog and start fighting for gay rights instead of seeking for psychological counseling to cure him of his traumatized childhood.
For the Nigerian police that acts so unprofessional in everything, I will not blame them rather I will blame those that keep shouting one Nigeria without purpose and plan but are only waiting for God to jump down from heaven and make Nigeria better for them.
lastly, all gays need psychological help, and for the guy that raped the the boy, his 15yrs jail term should be non-negotiable.

chrismanly: With the caliber of youths am meeting this days, with the interest and enthusiasm so many of youths are having this days, I chose to believe succinctly that the better Nigeria is near! Youths are leaders of tomorrow, though tomorrow is an indefinite time, the logic behind that saying is beginning to go down well with lots of youth!! Youths are now understanding the rhema behind the sentence, "that tomorrow is now" I'm not in doubt that it may take a possible sacrifice of time, interest and money for the youth to actually possess their possession! Be it as it may, it is a choice that must be made for a better Nigeria! Youth rise!!! Youth rise!!! Youth rise!!!
keep being delusional. check well, sarki, Dino must have said same before they became politicians and now, can they still say Same? not all glasses where built to be a Pyrex.
rayzornaija: Before the war Ojukwu in a press conference, told the world that the Biafrans were prepared and we wonder why nobody came to our aid. His stubbornness caused the death of over 4million people and today, we the younger generation are making the same mistakes
Ikechu10: You're talking to an urhobo wannabe. Just wanted to let you know that. The dude you're talking to does not even know his so called LGA nor can he write or read Urhobo.
Stop wasting your time.
Btw: the whole including urhobo, Itsekiri and ijaw in Biafra is highly stupid. Let's look.at delta state, this three three made delta into the current mess it is in addition to the excessive conflict that holds no water. Therefore, It is ignorant to include them in Biafra. Why leave Nigeria to make a mini Nigeria. The sole reason I support Anioma state is to get the hell away from those three, then why put them in Biafra. I tell you this as a brother.
As you said, What other contribution is the ND minorities for biafra beside oil?
First the said oil is losing it's relevance with each passing day. Even at that biafra without them, we have more than enough oil to feed Biafra. I mean Egbema as well as Oyigbo has enough oil to feed biafra; after all, the two region contribute immensely to the oil preduction of Niggeria.
What matters in a nation is what Nigeria destroys aka human resources. If Nnewi and Aba refuse to join Biafra then I get the brouhaha. This two communities plus oyigbo, Egbema, Asa and the oil producing areas of Imo and Anambra in addition to the marketing of Onitsha plus the political structure of Asaba is more than enough to advance Biafra past the shit Niggeria is. After all, three years of Biafra showcased weapons building (a task the so called giant of Africa has yet to obtain).
Niggeria literally celebrated producing "pencil" yet Aba boys having been making and creating things past pencils. Infact if you Google Nigeria inventors, most "Nigerians" with the highest patents are predominately igbo. Imagine this people focused on Biafra with a government funding their patents and trying to finally make a black country where technology advancement is being observed, not the nonsense we observe in that zoo.
The only people I support in Biafra is ibibio and that's because the person that turned me pro biafra is one. He fights more for Biafra than anyone I know and it'll be a shame to watch his hard work thrown away.
bantudra: difficult situation for both of us....you want to support your brethren in the east,i understand that...
but you can not drag me along in the process,i dont want biafra because i know what will happen..
you can not get biafra without a war...
its better for both of us in the delta to be neutral.....
am not carving the delta to yoruba or hausa and you are not carving the delta to biafra...deal??...
I am a realistic being. Nigerdelta republic sounds ridiculous because there'd be igbo Yoruba igala, urhobo etc in it, so What's the point. Biafra sounds more convincing than ND republic and ofcourse has more calibre of men that can drive economy.
Apart from oil, what else can ND boast of? But with the likes of Anambra, IMO., enugu in biafra the country will be balanced. ND republic will be a very strong country no doubt but a country like biafra Which accommodate both the ND and core igbos, the country will be stronger and formidable.
I'd rather give my alliance to biafra than to Nigerdelta republic because nigerdelta republic will be a smaller version of Nigeria where everyone will be running after oil with no other alternative. Biafra will cover both. oil,industry, intellectual prowess,commerce,sports etc.
In short, anything ND can offer, with Biafra, we can triple that.
bantudra: i am not wannabe..i am urhobo...forget what radio biafra told you..we talking about naija delta are realy naija deltans just not igbo related....or you wan tell me none igboid subgroups are not deltans too.........
I don't care whether or not you are core igbo or not. I am core igbo but unfortunately or fortunately I fall under the ND, are you now telling me I should stop supporting my igbo brothers just because one Hausa man in far north and one Yoruba man caved my state into ND groups? whether in NE or SW I will always go with my igbo brothers, I'm first igbo before ND and am more related to that man in anambra than am related to that one I urhobo.
