Carry all your rants and march to Aso rock and face Tinubu.

My own is to correct any idiotic and negative generalisation you and your kinsmen are making online...

I don't have time for stupid back and forth with people of inferior intellect.

But he saying the truth.

Tinubu tribal government is prove of your tribalism and nepotism.

agadez007:
It’s practically impossible to attain this type of height with a Yoruba man if you are not Yoruba,they will sack you
We see what tinubu is doing at National level

You are right. Very impossible! Tinubu government is a fact to that.

By next year. They will be alignment and re-alignment.

owobokiri:
Oga,
I have never told any of you loquacious lot that I am an IPOB member (not that there is anything bad in being a member). I have been here almost two decades. Matter of fact, I have followed this site from inception and only joined later when I had to respond to a post. Obviously I can't remember all that I have said or posted here, but if you can ever point out one single post where I have said that I am IPOB, I will deactivate here! The reason is very simple; I am.not a member of any organisation like that. I have read acclaimed members online but i have not met with any or been to any meetings, so my views are my views and NOT that of IPOB.. Take note of this!

Again, I am starting to think that you are the same person as the haughty gentleman you quoted, because two of you for whatever reasons, sound miserably alike. In all his posts, he was calling me a "terrorist". What was that for? Because I said that willing ethnicities ready to join any emerging political unit out-of Nigeria should be allowed to do so? This is a country of almost 500 ethnic groups.., what do you want to see post Nigeria? 500 countries? Why am I a terrorist? Because I said that minorities can form a political union with bigger ethnicities? What is so different from your position? You said it must be igboid, do you know that there are many clans in ibibio, Anang and even Ijaw, who have intertwined so much with their Igbo neighbours over the years that at this point they share almost similar blood lines?

Stick to your idea of Biafra according to Murtala Muhammad and Muhammadu buhari and allow me to stick to my idea of Biafra according to Ojukwu or Kanu. History will judge the two stands. We are all in this mess in the first place because of the shortsighted decisions of the likes of Zik, Ironsi and even Ojukwu. Just one terrible decision and the igbos are in trouble for almost a century. If Zik decided to walk out of Nigeria on independence day, he would have gotten that on a platter. No fuss! If Ironsi never naively surrounded himself with northern soldiers, the east would not have been kicked of the leadership of the country,. Again, if Ojukwu agreed with the Russians and nationalised the oil industry and refused to handover the command of his forces that stormed the west to Banjo, the war would have been over in few months...

These are all shortsighted decisions that maimed the east and are still maiming the east till this day. Those are the reason why generational leaders should do away with emotions and be ruthless growing and defending a state! Our minorities neighbours should NEVER be allowed to be some launching pads for our bigger enemies. They have done it before, we must caliberate our politics towards them in a way they will NEVER be allowed to do so again.. I chose a conciliatory method of trying to woo them back into the fold. Thatbis called diplomacy. You guys chose the "middle east" approach. Oh well!

You lot wants to create an "Isreal" surrounded by some vicious "Arabs", and you still think you have the better plan!? You don't want the minorities in, because they have started feeling important like they are special and being sort after, but you are ready to spend the rest of your days fighting them like the Isrealis do with the Arabs if as is most likely, their politics is hyjacked by say the northerners or the south westerners! Where is the visionary thinking? Are you not exchanging a lesser trouble for a bigger one?

Trying to woo them back into your fold won't work. They will start to cry igbo are dominating us! Igbo want our oyel! Igbos this and that.

We don't want such people in our new nation. Let them stay on their lane, we can be good neighbors.

If they decide to be hostile and toxic to us and our interest, then, we will give them Ukraine treatment. Very simple

SmartyPants:
That is not a good quality, and it is exactly what you say it is not: the desire to dominate. If you say it is your culture to compete amongst yourselves, no one will argue with you. Feel free. When you go to another man's family and your goal is to compete with his children - not to collaborate to better the family, but to conquer the inheritance for yourself- that is terrible, especially when that family has a culture of collaboration.

In any case, we are yet to see the benefit of this competition culture even within your own region.

Competition is not domination. Don't confused the two languages. They are not the same.

If because of laziness to compete that why FG remove meritocracy and replace it with Quota system. By doing so, the standard and the bar was badly reduced so that those people who fears to compete can have an access.

And we have seen the effects of such action. We have incompetent people running affairs in this country. Be it in economy, FG agencies and parasatals, including security. All because FG remove meritocracy which results from competition and bring it quota system.

As for your paragraph. You don't want to see it or should I say that you see it and pretend not to see it.

Go through Nairaland politics section and you will see threads on update development going on SE states . Anambra guys started the competition. Imo , Enugu and Abia guys open their own thread about development going on in their states. They are fast competition with each other on whose states and governor is doing well and developing their states. All these are competition.

Igbos are Competing with themselves even in their town, kindred and villages in who will develop each other. It's a good competition that leads to development and I like it.

Whether you choose to believe it or not. Is your business not mine.

WhizdomXX:
Obi won in Edo, Delta, Rivers, Cross Rivers. He lost Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. That's 4 out of 6.
He also won in Nassarawa, lost Benue very slightly due to the rev. running in APC, won in Plateau. What more evidence do you need

He is taking of minorities in the former eastern region. The like of Bayelsa, Akwa ibom, rivers and cross river not Delta and Edo that were in the Midwest region.

Obi only won in cross river. I out of 4 states. Not even 2 or 3, only 1.

Wike rigged rivers state votes and give it to tinubu. Rivers state people didn't do anything. The same in Akwa ibom between akpabio and udom. Bayelsa voted for Atiku yet during 2015 Presidential election, The 5 SE states voted for GEJ. We didn't allow any politician to touch his votes or rig against him.

Now compare SE votes to GEJ in 2015 with 4 Minorities state votes in the former eastern region to Obi in 2023.

Are they the same No! We have recorded all these because it will be paid back in full dosage.

[quote author=owobokiri post=134972240][/quote]I still don't know why it is very hard for you to understand Pazienza.

What Pazienza is simply telling you is that Biafra should be homogeneous!! He is not saying that Biafra should be restricted to 5 SE state alone. We have our brothers in the SS and they will join us.

We won't force them. But, we will try as much as possible to convince them. Nobody is forcing anyone. Igbos is too big to beg or either force anyone. Some Igbos in SS will agree and some with not agree. Those that agree with join and reunite with their brothers in the South East .

That your so referendum will be for only Igbos in SS not for non igbo minorities. I hope you are getting in now.

Your heterogenous Biafra with minorities is DEAD ON ARRIVAL! It can't and won't happen. Igbos will not leave Nigeria and from another Nigeria. God forbid and may affliction never happen the second time.

It's time you ipob members starts to face reality and think with your head. Our Igbos brothers in rivers and Delta, but it is worst in rivers are facing the problem of identity crisis due to oil politics and punitive actions taken against by FG supported by the minorities.

You should have use your energy to make sure that our lost brother there will come back to senses and see themselves as igbos. But what did you ipobs do, you prefer to join the hostile minorities into your babelien utopia Biafra. Does it make any sense, NO!

That why we telling you that your agitation for secession should be only igbo Republic homogeneous nation. Is very simple as ABC.
We will take our territories back that FG took to the SS. Oh yes, we will take it back because it belongs to us. Then any minorities that want fight and take back our land. Those minorities will be giving Ukraine treatment if possible Palestine treatment.

Everyone knows where their land starts and ends in SS. It will happen. It's that One Nigeria is delaying the inevitable.

Obaaderemi2:
Nonsense, you think the SW is Enugu where fulanis kill you like flies.

The same Fulani that's are currently killing in you in ondo even till now Ondo is now the new kaduna.

The same your fulani partners that kidnapped 4 obas in the same ondo.

You are a joker

Wike should go and do his rally in Rivers State and leave Bayelsa out of it. For Christ sake, what is his business in Bayelsa ? He is not from bayelsa.

Let him do his tinubu rally in his village in obioakpor. He has succeeded in destabilizing rivers. He now wants to shift to Bayelsa.

The governor should not allow wike to do any nonsense in his state. Let him do his rally with his conquered and spineless people in rivers state.

HenryWilliams:
In over 63 years..
Nothing has changed..
Very useless people.
They can't stay in a place without attempting to dominate the rest of the populace. Braggarts and empty barrels.Their excessive love of money makes them easily suspectiible to crime and vice which they've exported across the globe.
Ahmadu Bello granted this interview and delivered this message over 63 years ago. It still rings true to this day.
What a useless tribe.
Wish Black Scorpion wiped them off back in the Civil War.

Lol, you wish

Relax, something worse will happen to you people. Sharia law will be enacted in the SW. MURIC, the Yoruba Muslims terrorists group will do the dirty job for their masters in sokoto.

Your obas will be replaced with Emir just like in Kwara. Be prepared for what will happen to you guys in 5 to 10 years to come.

ajailer:
What is Independent Oduduwa Republic? Do you see Yorubas move to the SE the way u guys rush down here? If you guys want to be taken serious, let us see you guys go home for Christmas in Dec, and not come back to the SW. Until then, stop complaining, ungratefulness is a sin.

Is not our fault that you people don't have a place called home. That's why everyone of you is from Lagos.

You people don't have a village because it doesn't exist. Even if it exists, it is worst than the core villages in the core north.

Declare odudwa Republic first. Then everyone will take you serious. Because, you can't eat your cake and have it.

ajailer:
My own advise to my fellow Yorubas is that when Ibos are shouting, let them be and when they are tired, they will keep quiet. They love chestbeating.

Some years back, I was having a conversation with these two Ibo guys and all they were saying was that Biafra is coming, Nigeria will break up bla bla bla..... I calmed down and allowed them to finish talking and next thing I told them was that if this country should break up, no Ibo will be allowed to stay freely in the SW, that we Yorubas will tell them all to pack up and go back to where they came from, you need to see how these guys went quiet, they were shocked to hear me say that, and that was when I realized that all these gra gra about Biafra na scam, even if you tell to leave, next thing they will hold on to is tribalism. I understand that they want to feel that they matter too in this country, but the way they have been going about it, even from their past leaders is what is causing them issues with others. You can't achieve anything meaningful through negative emotions, by stiring up hatred in the mind of your ppl towards others. A wise person should know that he does not have the monopoly to hatred and violence, others can hate and be violent too.

The other day, we read on the FP about the guy from SE that wants to relocate here to SW, does that show a ppl who want to develop their region? The fools among them here are based in the SW and will be talking about going back to the east en mass to develop their region just as they have helped others to develop theirs, but the reality on ground is that, everyday, they keep moving to the SW en mass in search of a better life. I have come to realize that they say the opposite of what they mean, very unreliable ppl. Now for the guy that we read his story on the FP, give him some years now, when he starts living a better life here in th SW, he will now turn his ungrateful mouth, and start seeing everything bad in the system, when their presence here is putting a lot of pressure on the limited resources.

Idiots like you should just read and move on.

This topic Is about Zike and ita eyong. Yet, due to your inferior complex, you manage to bring Yoruba here in what doesn't concern them.

You are a clown.

CoronaVirusPro:
You said it all!

China has outpaced them in everything and they still finding it difficult to accept.

Its beyond redemption. China way far ahead.

China is busy producing and exporting goods and products at a huge and fast rate be it in food, industries goods, electronic, texile, chips, computer, cables, machines, furniture, etc.

While Us is busy producing and exporting weapons to enrich the military industrial complex with their paid politicians in Washington and Congress.

Even in military. China is even surpassing them. Chinese navy is bigger than US Navy if you minus the Aircraft carriers. China build more ships more than US. The same in the military.

China has hypersonic weapons and missiles that can carry nuclear missiles while US has none.

China will take Taiwan and that will be the final nail on the coffin for US.

CoronaVirusPro:
They find it hard to accept!

China is ahead of them in everything if you exclude war mongering.

Henry Kinssinger the Former secretary of state and Former National security adviser under President Nixon and Ford told Trump that China has surpass America in everything. He told Trump the bold truth when he visited Trump in white house in 2019.

We know Kinssinger was the Secretary of State and also the one that normalize diplomatic ties with US and China in 1973 since 1949 when the Communist china party wins the civil war in china and become the legitimate government of China.

Kissinger been an old man of experiences in international politics and diplomacy knows that the Current US of now in lagging behind China.

Jimmy Carter also told Trump that America has spent most of her years fighting wars around the globe and china was busy developing every sector of their country at a speedy and fast rate by doing so, they have almost surpass America in everything.

Be it trade, technology, finance, industries, banking, infrastructure, health, Tech, IT etc China is not lagging behind America. In fact, They have almost surpass America.

This is what is driving trump mad. He is finding it difficult to accept the reality.

America has lost the trade war before it even started.

US can't win china. It is a fact. China trade with America is 14% compare to their trade with other nations. China trades more with Brazil, Russia, Canada, EU. South East Asia etc.

America farmers are now crying that china impose tarrif on their agriculture products. China will go to Brazil, Belgium, Mexico etc and import agriculture products while US farmers will continue to count their losses.

Trump feels that the world evolved around America. He will learn in a hard way. President Xi just continue to ignore him like a clown and even impose more tarrif on America exports.

Trump should understand what China has surpass them in everything. It is FACT. America should wake up. I get am before no be property. The empire is already declining.

Yorubas have imported their agbero to Abuja. They didn't bring development, industries and jobs because they didn't have it. They can't give you what they don't have.

Instead they bring agbero and touts to Abuja which bring choas, disorderliness and lawlessness. Abuja a good, peaceful and serene city which house the nation capital is about to turn to Lagos pro max, one of the most unlivable cities in the world.

Round and agbadorians. We dey see una handwork.

MelesZanawi:
I knew this is where you will anchor your argument, you criminal.

You want medicine manufacturers to put their QA labs in your hands so you can fake the drugs.

The last thing an Igbo medicine manufacturer will do is move production to the East. That's the end of the business. You criminals are waiting to lay hands on the formula so you can fake it.

Juhel Pharmacy has a factory and industrial plant in Emene , Enugu.

Orange drug has its own industrial plant in Onitsha. Is Enugu and onitsha in the South West ?

If you don't know anything. You shut up and stop displaying your gross ignorance.

From South Korea, Japan and Finland.

And Europe too.

But EU, don't trust the US anymore!

America empire is fast declining.

Trump is a clown

" What happen to, I will carry out the biggest deportation in history" ?

He has finally calmed down. Stupid man.

obembet:
I see this guy as good presidential material

His tribesmen will be the first to oppose him.

They prefer thugs, touts and people with unknown characters.

They will choose modashiru Obasa more than him. Ethnic politics matter to them. Nothing concern them with development and good economy.

What Obasa need to do is shout " Yoruba Ronu " It is their Mumu bottom. If Obasa do it. All of them will stand behind Obasa and shout " On your mandate we shall stand".

ProudlyLagos:
intelligent people don’t lock there parents up every Monday and close down the economy of a region just because of a miscreant disguised as a freedom fighter

Btw Uwazuruike thinks otherwise don’t be angry ehn, no be me talk am

Yet, they beat your fellow Ronu student and be the best graduating student.

The joke is on you.

OGwales:
No Eastern Governor has ever done this to their own, not to talk of doing for an outsider. They will rather introduce her to drug peddling, baby factory operation or a terrorism.

Give it to the Yoruba when it comes to fair treatment and open accommodation 👌👌👌

Baby girl, you are always safe in the hands of the Yorubas. This is just a part, expect more. Only in Yoruba land do we have people from all over Nigeria as commissioners, LGA chairmen, etc... An Ebonyi can't try that in Enugu. Abia man dares not in Anambra 🤣🤣🤣

Little wonder, them no wan go back home. No nonsense sit at home on the first day of school in a week 🫣🫣🫣

Peace of mind over violence 😔

You are just consoling your self. You need handkerchief to wipe your tears.

Go and do Yoruba Ronu and burn down the school to show your anger.

Bunch of backward cavemen.

goodnessme1:
Innocent hunters according to double mouth snakes that blamed Edo people for killing 16 gun men caught in Edo State.

Even denied Edos that are More related to them, asking Northerners to target people they are taught from kids by their parents to hate.

Ronu people are children of Devil.

⚡Trump:

We would use money from tariffs to pay down debt.

Tax the hell out of America importers who will aggressively transfer the cost to the American consumers.

Gerrard59:
That's the aim - cause economic unrest in China where the citizens revolt against the government and snoop in to take the spoils. The British did a similar thing with the Opium Wars. Whether the Chinese will succumb to a foreign power dismantling their country is yet to be seen.

It has already backfire immediately.

Americans are now protesting nationwide against trump since last week immediately trump announced his tarrifs

obedience4:
Another nairaland economist writing with emotions instead of facts👆

😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😆😄

Trump has announced tarrif pause.

Trump is a coward that will back down. Once is ego Is down. He will back down.

Trump doesn't know anything about tarrif, what is it and who pays them. That's why he will announce tarrif today and pause or cancel it tomorrow. He doesn't know anything.

He is dog that back but it can't bite. He will soon withdraw, pause or cancel his tarrifs on china. He did it in 2018 when he started his first trade war with China. He will do it again.

WritterNg:
⚡Trump:

I announced tariff pause because people are getting afraid.

I announced tarrif pause because high inflation are dealing with Americans together with anti trump protests that follow which makes trump to become afraid

Namaster:
Who are these LACKWITS?!

People are being kidnapped, raped and BUTCHERED everywhere in the SW yet these FOOLS are more concerned about the language employed by the CROOKS in power.

MADNESS!

No mind them. Insecurity in the South West is not their priority but language.

Insecure set of people. Na dia business.

Catapault:
Trump is a complete Mo.ron.

He doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t read, he’s just a privileged narcissist.

Whoever allowed him to be in office wants to ruin America using him.

He is also ignorant of geography, world map and world affairs.

According to his former National security adviser, John Bolton. He said that trump doesn't know that France and UK has nuclear weapons. Until he told him.

He also said trump doesn't know where Baltic Countries are. Trump confuse Baltic Countries with ex defunct Yugoslavia state. Bolton was surprised at Trump's ignorance. They have to correct him.

How can the POTUS be so ignorant ? Trump did. He doesn't know anything apart from playing golf.

Tendd:
Senseless! So he expected China to fold her arms and do nothing.Why 90 days to other countries?l thought everything about him is with immediate effect.Running a country is different from running his real estates or hotels.He sure knows the compounding effects of his decision if other countries begin to impose their tarrifs.China is a global player and would continue exporting to other countries.

Your last words is what Trump is yet to understand.

Trump thinks that it is only America that imports and export goods to china ? Trump also think that the Chinese economy is tied to America That's why he want china to beg. Beg him for what ?

China is a economy superpower and a global player in world trade. It is a world factory. They have everything be it technology, man powerful, population, technology etc. They are industrious, innovative, resilience and hardworking.

Trump is yet to understand that China has passed America in everything. I mean everything! Yes! They have passed America.

Trump is so delusional to think he can win a trade war with China. He will learn in a hard way.

Focusmind:
China made a very big mistake in retaliating. There was no need fighting with Trump, knowing that China has been benefiting, disproportionately in her trade with US. Xi will put China into recession because of unnecessary fight. He should have swallowed his pride and allowed Trump be, so long China was still on top of international trade. You are fighting with your biggest trading partner, where you control 75% of trade between two of you. Xi no try at all. I forsee a 200% increase in coming weeks, as Xi try to match up with Trump's madness

China will not succumb to trump. The two countries need each . They are two biggest trading partners in the world. The trade war will affect each other.

If you think, it won't affect America, them you are living in Jupiter. US stocks exchanges are still down.

Most of the products America consume are made in china because that where their industries are because of cheap cost of production and cheap labour which China.

US companies are not going to bring back their factories in US. Is not gonna happen. US has lost the manufacturing and production hub to china years ago. China is now the world factory.

US is not the only country that china trade with. It trade with EU, India, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Mexico etc. China will just reroute their exports to those countries and trade more with them.

The last time trump impose tarrif on china in 2018. China retaliated by imposing tarrif on US agricultural products. The action alone by china cost US farmers $200 billion. It pains them so hard. They couldn't export their agricultural products again to china. Trump has to save face by bailing them out with just $10 billion. What is $10 billion bail out compare to the loss of $200 billion.

What did china do ? China just starts to import their agriculture products from Brazil, Netherlands, Germany, Argentina etc because those countries are also one the biggest exporters of agricultural products. Trump finally back down. So who loose , US. The same will happen again.

Trump will destroy Us economy just like he destroys his business. You think man that bankrupted a casino will win a trade war with china Is not going to happen.
