**** I've often attacked and blasted those who called Nigeria a zoo but for the very first time in my life, I'm forced to call Nigeria a ZOO. I don't get it. Are Hausas/Fulanis are special class different from every other ethnic group amongst the 250 ethnic groups we have in this country?

How can these herdsmen be carrying AK 47s and other deadly weapons around? How can a few herdsmen be killing, raping and destroying communities at will? Why is PMB quiet on the activities of these herdsmen but very quick to order for the arrest of 76 indigenes of Enugu who decided to stand up to these fulani herdsmen? Why was he so quick to deploy military men to kill innocent, unharmed and defenseless protesters? I cannot continue to list some of the atrocities committed by his fellow tribesmen.

If we are going to continue to be exposed each day to these blood suckers, isn't it better for everyone to go his or her separate ways? Do we need a soothsayer or a whatever to tell us that we are not ONE? I've always been a tribalist here on nairaland and a very big one for that matter but I've really sat down to think about everything going on in this country and I believe there's some element of sense in what some these igbos are saying here on nairaland. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're just talking for the sake of it or that they're crybabies like some of us tag them to be.

But one thing is certain. And that is, a day would come when these Fulani herdsmen will have no where to run and nowhere to hide. PMB do you know what is worse than an Atomic or a Nuclear explosion? I'll tell you. A racial, tribal and religious explosion is far worse than an Atomic or a Nuclear explosion. It can burn forever and it has no end.

LoL... Attach by force.

. You're the one here attaching by force not me. The oil in Edo has not been tapped. Oil production in Edo outnumbers that of the entire SE. My state has access to the sea (Gelegele, Ughoton and Agenebode). The gold, coal, limestone and other minerals have not been tapped. My state arable and fertile land for farming. What's does your entire region boast of? So you see I'll go and join my brothers in the Niger delta. We have always been at peace.

God bless Niger Delta Republic.

MyGeneration:

Yes we know with An independent Benin republic.

republic of Niger delta. Deal with that.

You say you live in Canada. Don't know the part of SS you come from, but doubt, anyway.
But it doesn't appear to you that it's not just as easy to organize and have Ijaw, Itshekiri, Anang. Efik, Ogoja, Bini, Igbo in present southsouth and other minor tribes in present SS into a country?


Your hate for Igbo makes you engage in foolish battle on NL for an utopian country comprising the present many tribes in the SS. Help the Igbo get its desired freedom from Nigeria, then watch out and see how SS shall be further enslaved by rest of Nigeria in one Nigeria.

If you are Ijaw for example - but doubt - the easiest way to get an Ijaw Republic, or indeed any agreeing tribes in the SS to form their own country is by first teaming up every tribe in the old southeast region to free the region from Nigeria. An agreed constitution is already in place stipulating right to secession for any group, or for agreeable groups to easily separate from the new country of older eastern region that freed from Nigeria..

So why let pure hatred allow you remain in bondage in one Nigeria where many of the SS people are losing even their homelands and creeks they used to fish from to pollution?

Could anybody from the SS still remain this blinded by the divide-an-rule tactics implanted between the SS.and SE regions in order to dominate the two regions?

I live in Canada but I know my roots cos my Pops is Nigerian. Allow us bother about ourselves. We dont want to form a union with you. Is that too difficult? 45% of present day Southern Nigeria trace their origin from Edo. Continue living in denial. You claim you're being marginalised but yet want to lump others into an unholy union. I really don't have time arguing with you.

MyGeneration:

LoL... All this long story simply because i told benin republic to stay on there own and stop attaching to the ss... LoL.
We are Benin.
Godbless federal republic of benin.
We know our boundaries.
We know our rivers.
We know our neighbour's.
In Benin republic we stand.

you're the one attaching yourself here. You're a bad loser that's why you're pained. SS will stand on its own. Go and die.

Deadlytruth:


So OBJ removed two LGAs from Imo State and merged them with Rivers State in the 70s yet Igbos gave him block votes in 1999 and also voted in 2003 for the same OBJ against their own hero Ojukwu who risked his carrier for them? Then who is to blame for Igbos' predicament other than Igbos themselves?

Go and read the updates on Radio Biafra's Facebook wall and there you'll see claims by Kanu's boys that Urhobo, itshekiris, Binis, Esans, etc are all Biafrans. Why not rather tell Kanu and his boys to stop biafranizing the Urhobos and itshekiris first before you tell me Urhobo and itshekiri have nothing to do with Biafra?

You forgot to add in your account that Biafra Soldiers, without invitation or provocation by the Midwest, invaded Benin City, Warri, Sapele, Auchi, Igarra and Lampese raping teenage girls especially in Benin City, hounding into makeshift prisons the able bodied men in Benin claiming they are Aborkis friends for the singular fact that David Ejoor declared the Midwest neutral between Biafra and the federal forces, and that Biafran soldier chased after David Ejoor with the intention to kill him, etc. These were the oppressions from Biafra soldiers that made the entire Midwest rescind their initial decision to support Biafra hence they invited federal forces to route Biafran Army out of the Benin and the Midwest.
You sound naïve to claim Benin people did whatever in Asaba. Did Benin people have guns to shoot anyone then? We all know that the Binis had virtually no army officer then. Ogbemudia is not a Benin man. So how did Benin civilians secure military vans and guns to travel to Asaba during a tension soaked period to kill Aniomas there? Binis only protected themselves from the oppressive excesses of Biafra soldiers either by poisoning them or pointing them out to the federal forces for elimination within Benin City.
If Binis killed Aniomas, then why do Aniomas still identify with Bendel till today?
FYI Nzeogwu did not plan the coup. He and Ademoyega were only brought into the plot just three months to the day of business. The coup was Ifeajuna's idea and his immediate lieutenants were Anuforo, Okafor and Nwobosi. Even Ojukwu confirmed this fact before he died. So trying to place the responsibility on the SS through Nzeogwu is an attempt at fallacy. SE Igbos (Ifeajuna, Nwobosi, Okafor and Anuforo) planned the coup and executed it with tribal considerations while Nzeogwu the only Niger Deltan among them did his part patriotically without tribal bias.

it's obvious your father didn't waste money on your education. Midwest region never wanted to be part of the whole nonsense but these same biafran soldiers invaded benin city and looted our central bank, killed some of my people and equally raped our women. The Binis and as a matter of fact SS had to invite the Nigerian army to get rid of them. Bros do you why they invaded the Midwest region and tried invading the SS? They wanted to annex our lands. My grandfather told me of some of the atrocities these biafran soldiers committed on our soil. So bro that's why I don't trust any of them. The same Nnamdi Kanu was busy lumping other tribes in his proposed map without their consultation. I'm Edo/Spanish (Pops is Edo and Mom is Spanish) and I can categorically tell you that if Nigeria disintegrate today, we will be on our own. No sane SS person will choose to follow them to biafra. Their marginalization will be epic.

MyGeneration:

Wetin dae vex u, y are u fooling urself this wont Change d fact that benin wud remain an entity of its own in the advent of Nigerias break up, y we Igbo's wud face our igbo land simple, is dat too much to ask, or is sth scaring u abt u being alone?

I've said it before and I'm saying it again, go and die. SS is not Biafra. Go and hug transformer or high tension cable, it still doesn't change anything. You'll continue whining from now till tomorrow. Your quest for biafra is fueled out of nothing but sheer greed. You want to steal from SS. Biafra starts from Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Imo and ends in Ebonyi. It doesn't extend more than that. Republic Of Niger Delta starts from Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River and ends in Akwa Ibom.

MyGeneration:

Has the Amaechi or Wike ever accepted Benin republic?
Stick to ur tribe and ur Benin boundary, leave the ss out of ur greed, there re no Muslims in the ss stay away from the ss with ur land grabbing benin tendencies.

you're indeed a slowpoke. Who's more of a land grabber between your tribe and the binis? Go and die. SS will not join Biafra. Stick to your erosion ravaged landlocked area as well.

MyGeneration:

Guy define ur boundary's, wetin concern d name oshiomole and Amaechi or chibuike or wike, wat re u scared of we igbos are ready to stand on our own and so will you let's not fight over this.

Nnamdi Kanu has really filled the heads of you and some gullible igbos with gas and that's why you can't read in between the lines. Which Amaechi or wike are you talking about? These are the same people that have denied you countless times. We have already given you our conditions. It's either you accept it or its one Nigeria all the way. You claim you're being marginalised but want to lump other tribes that have nothing in common with you into your failed state called biafra. Nobody gives a damn about you and your biafra. I've always said and will continue saying it SS is not and will never be part of biafra. You can continue living in denial. SS know where they stand. I'll personally support you the day a referendum is conducted but God forbid that I'll open my two eyes to go and join you in biafra when I know what you guys are known for. It's obvious you're feeling sleepy. Pls go and sleep.

MyGeneration:

Yes Benin is Benin not Biafra, and they wud hv there Benin republic when this country breaks.

sometimes I doubt if some of you here even went to school. Who's interested in your banana republic of a country called biafra. If Nigeria divides today, I'll go and join my fellow SS brothers whom I serve a lot in common with. Though some of us are distinct but we are united. For your info 45% of modern day Southern Nigeria is Edo. Go and do your research. I'm too advanced to be arguing with someone of your type.

I'm 100% in support of the disintegration of this cesspool called Nigeria. But if we are to do so we must unite and fight a common enemy which happens to be hausa/fulani. But we from the SS are not biafrans and we don't want to be biafrans.

What sort of rubbish is this? Why is NFF this useless? If you want to eat a frog eat the one that has eggs. The fact we need a foreign coach doesn't mean we should go and hire any Tom, Dick and Harry. What happened to the likes of Jose Mourinho, Brendan Rodgers, Luciano Spalleti, Louis Van Gaal, Andre Villas Boas, Simon Karanka, Unai Emery etc? Does Le Guen even understand English properly?

Rubbish. I'm not surprised. The Super fowls will be the last team I'll ever watch when they're better teams like Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Argentina and co to watch. The Super fowls are a bunch of jokers. I only pity Ihenacho, Iwobi and Ighalo for deciding to even honour the invitation in the first place.

I've said it countless times, No Nigerian coach is a grade A or even a grade B coach. Nigeria needs a foreign coach. What stops us from hiring the likes of Fabio Capello, Brendan Rodgers, Jurgen Klinsmann, Luciano Spalleti, Tata Martino, Jose Mourinho, Andre Villas Boas or even Gus Hiddink.

Even Prof Asagba would laugh out loud on seeing this post. Na poor men children full that glorified secondary school in Oghara.

how do you know? Have you lived in the school before? Stop saying what you don't know. I have a cousin who schools there.

Seriously ipob is becoming a nuisance by the day. This is not the right way to channel their anger. They should create a form of vigilante group and arm so that they can defend themselves. Violence is the only language these fulani herdsmen understand.

EmeritusMbaM:


What have i done to you?

Stop this unnecessary competition. I'm a pure Edo man and a true son of SS region. I honestly don't like the way some of you nairaland igbos do things. It's not right. I used to be a very big tribalist here but I realized that if we must grow we must work together. Even if we should go our separate ways, let's do it in the proper way. How do you want SS to join you in your biafran struggle if you continue like this? I personally I'm tired of hausa/fulani hegemony. I suggest we go back to the days of our regional govt or better still divide. But bros the way you're going about this whole secession thing is not so. First of all, you need to form an alliance with SS. That way you guys will have a very strong following and get some people from the middle belt too. That way we can kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?

EmeritusMbaM:


Ibo man and hatred for everyone. Only God can help you people.

edebiri remains the only qualified candidate... Wanted him to win last election, but his party then was less popular

exactly. Bros you know what's up. Ize Iyamu and Lucky igbinedion destroyed Edo state for 8 years. Only a fool would vote for him. If Solomon Edebiri is not given the governorship ticket then PDP can kiss their chances goodbye.

tuniski:

Politics is not morality. Those u termed dirty do better in politics! If not buhari won't be president and people like prince Audu can't dislodge an incumbent. Iyamu is the man for the baggages he carries that is politics. Political class want someone who will listen cos he is liable. By the way, leaders are selected then sold to the electorate.

Solomon Edebiri or APC.

martineinstein:
Nairaland is becoming stewpid with silly topics

absolutely stupid. In fact stupid is an understatement.

AleAirHub:


Solomon Edebiri Can Be Tested But Obaseki Is Totally Rule Out...
That Man Has Been Manipulating Edo State Politics For A While Now....

you're correct. Na man you be. Only a fool would vote for that igbinedion family puppet called Ize Iyamu. If PDP doesn't give Solomon Edebiri the governorship ticket then I'm supporting APC and Obaseki.
