Always weeping!!! Were you thrown to lagoon after all?

Always confused...and speaking from both sides of your mouth....Kanu said the Igbos need arms to defend themselves against Fulani killers...Did the arms come...? but is he not incarcerated in jail...so?

origima:
Am afraid this man is not talking like a leader but like a politician. IBO's are not marginalized. This tribal sentiment will not help us.the IBO's may not succeede in hurry if they eventually liberate but it will be more favourable for them to remain in Nigeria.Nwodo is suffocating to lure the IBO's to more pains

No way...Igbos want fairness to all...or they are out...Individuals can't be developing a region, part of a country while the central government shares resources and do things as it pleases...to regions it favours....More powers should be given to the regions to do certain things...Look, this man built this road in the SE...

femolii:
Osus people lack sence because after d war more than 3 000 000 died as a result of their greedness still they troops down to yorubas land to survive this osu senior son didnt ask them to stay n develop their region. no matter what they do that region will remain d same because d enviroment hate strangers. during jona regime they were so happy n dancing because they filled all d key positions now that d game has change they are crying is too late osus. is only in nigeria here i see government puting rabels in positions but osus will regret at end they said their are d one develop lagos which mean igbos are basterd for saying that another people land.

Where did the afonjas got the money to build the 3rd mainland bridge, Tin Can and Apapa Wharf, MMIA, for example...You don eat today?

rightwingz:
You needed statistics and i gave it to you..............Now you divert to duration.
Una like argument.

My kids don't need low cut off mark. Im from Bayelsa and Delta state.
In my Opinion, Hausas are not better than us in th SS. Why i have to jealous them?

We need to be strong and play a strong political game not crying like cry cry babies.
Northern Nigeria is backward compare to South. I always sorry for their kids. They are victims of their political leaders.

Who is crying? You are from Bayelsa and Delta...what have your own governors done with billions collected...which of your cities can you compare with cities in the SE? You don't need any political strenght...what did you do with the one Johnathan had?

rightwingz:
Nigeria has 6 elected presidents.
1. Azikiwe .....IGBO
2. Shagari...... HAUSA
3. OBJ ..........YORUBA
4. Yaradua....... HAUSA
5. Jonathan (Ebele Azikiwe)..... IGBO
6. Buhari........ HAUSA

Hausa 3
Igbo 2
yoruba 1.

In my Opinion, Yorubas are the marginalized.
Jonathan govt. was high-jacked by Igbos hence i counted him as Igbo.

That is why your kids need very low cut of mark to enter unity schools, than the kids from SE and SS...Now compute how many years the Igbos including your Johnathan were in power compared to the Hausas and Yorubas?

BlackMbakara1:
You had opportunity to vote for Ojukwu, yet he couldn't get 1M vote from SE out of 6M peeps there (Hypocrisy). You can try your own luck and fill the people you so desired. Are you aware that we have six geo-political zone in Nigeria and every Geo-political Zone is fully represented if not at the executive, you can find at the Judiciary or Senate. When you say North North, is it only one tribe that is there? Are you aware that some positions were inherited and until they finish their tenure, the president can't change them just like that? Are you also aware that there's seniority and that follows suit on who will be chosen?

Sometimes let's be objective, we had our brother there for 6 years and he worked with people he could trust...and please continue listing other agencies you omitted let's know if there's no SS, SE, SW peeps. Haba!

You can be living in delusion for all I care...No other agencies can be as powerful as all the head of all security services, all arms of government. It has never happened in the history of this country. Where is the element of our diversity?

prettyboi1989:
if there's really unity among the ibos why cant the eastern governors take up such projects? its nt like the governors are from a different tribe. so what's really happening

It can't happen while in Nigeria...even if the all the governors are brothers...but it will definitely happen if under an independent country...This is why the Igbos prefer a separate entity...just an example...

rightwingz:
Thanks bro. im from Bayelsa and Delta state. I dont want to involve in Hausa or yoruba matter as you listed.
Many Nigerians including me are waiting for Igbo presidency. They should present a good candidate instead of being a bunch of cry babies like democrats in the USA.

...what candidate? What if he becomes another Johnathan? What benefit would the Igbos have, other than adding to the statistics as former president...

prettyboi1989:
u should channel that question to the ministry of finance. so are u trying to tell me the ibo's arent suffering? if that's the case, why the agitation for biafra and the complaint of being marginalized from holding political offices? that on one hand, i think rather than complain and wait for manner to fall from heaven in the form of holding political offices, the ibos should get their hands on deck. its not until they enter politics before they can make money. what's stopping these agitators from running successful ventures, adding value and creating jobs?
the billionaires among the ibos arent shouting that they avnt been given a chance to rule nigeria, why is it the ones that have no name that are always rallying around to complain everytime?

Igbos are not all that interested in Nigeria politics, president and officers...They prefer an independent country...Please answer, which do you think will come faster...to build rail network connecting all eastern cities, under an independent country...or doing the same under the present Nigeria, irrespective of Igbo being the president?

BlackMbakara1:
Truth is we can't have all the tribes represented as head of security agencies. During GEJ tenure, we had minimah and ihejirika and i want to believe GEJ picked people he trusted. Must Ibos be everywhere?

Deputy senate president is Ibo and there are ministers that are from Ibo extraction, in the judiciary(Apex) we have Ibos too...what else joor? Abi the governors in the SE are non-igbos? Are there no senators or rep members 4rm SE?

Na only Igbo dey this country? Is becoming so annoying joor...always sowing seed of hatred, melancholy etc

Before you quote me stupidly, proudly an Ibibio Man. Make una park one-side.

Funlordmaniac:
Yes I know that's why you are an ignorant ipob tout! You were all born to always prefer foolish options to reasonable ones! It s embedded in your dna!

Your reasonable ones are those gberos with a child's head...Not saying..this don't obtain elsewhere...but it is rampant in a particular region...

prettyboi1989:
that attitudinal change is trust, it cant be bought or given but earned.
by the way, if u say the ibos have many properties in different states, how come their fellow brothers are suffering? they all have to come to lagos in order to make ends meet. yet u are so proud of a few of them who own properties u dont evn benefit from.

How many Igbo brothers are suffering more than the brothers from other tribes..? Why won't they come to Lagos? Which money was used to build the 3rd mainland bridge, for instance?

Funlordmaniac:
I'm not even a yoruba guy but I know your stupidity makes you believe that because nairaland is owned by one then anybody that tries to enlighten you simians must be one! I would actually prefer if you remain with your stinky cowardly drug peddling ipob brothers anyway! Like mazi chukwumalu over here...

I prefer that man to these man

prettyboi1989:
Go back to ur brothers in isreal. there's a reason why it appears ibos are being marginalized. the reason is not far fetched. until there's a behavioural, attitudinal and moral change seen amongst ibos, m sorry nothing can be done.

. You will wait till eternity for you funny attidunal change...What attitude do you have in the ONE NIGERia project more than an Igbo person? How many properties do you have in Kaduna, PH, Ekiti, Ibadan, Uyo, Makrudi, Jos, Abuja and Lagos more than the Igbos?

rightwingz:
South Sudan loading.....
because you think you are marginalized does not prevent you from turning your cities to Dubai , Hongkong etc.
Hong Kong is Marginalized by China yet they better than China mainland.

Meanwhile igbos show stop deceiving themselves with this lousy excuse of marginalization.
1960 igbo President
1966 Igbo military head of state.
1979 -1983 igbo Vice President
1999- 2007 Igbo senate president
2007-2015 Igbo Deputy senate president
2016 till date Igbo deputy senate president

Make thunder fire this man for deceiving people and inciting gullible Igbos against others.

Can you draw the same picture for the Yorubas and the north...also include all the service chiefs, while you at it...as thunder is gathering to fire you...

Opakan2:
Honestly.. Ion give a fvck about you lots.

I want the influx of you guys into Lagos checked and those luxurious buses banned.
Go home and develop your region. spirits from the land of the dead won't come and turn ur shitholes to Dubai overnight!

not comfortable my ass.. greed and dishonest people deceiving their gullible folks

...develop your region....? hahah...name any state in your region better than states in the SE, other than Lagos built by all? You don't need to bother yourself...there is work in progress to vacate your region...but you should be ready to use what you have in your region to develop it. No more federal government stealing from other regions to develop ONLY your region...

Opakan2:
But you lots were comfortable being part when GEJ was in power.. Even assisted him in ruining our economy.

In Kiss Daniels voice.. ko jor. you all in that region will work towards redevelopment of this great Nation whether you like it or not

I think it's high time they pass the death sentence on Nnamdi Kanu to show these lots it's not sere sere tinz here.
Nobody is joking.. mofos!

...so you must kill yourself to stay with omo Igbo?...Na wa oh!!

whitebeard:
No no no if they separate themselves from Nigeria they would be easy targets of America...WHY DON'T THIS GUY'S KEEP UP WITH INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES..I weep for them..!!

You really need to weep for yourself, first....you need it...

kuuljay:
what tripod are you talking about... Do you mean to say zones or tribes!!! Use your words carefully because if you go by tribe then who do you define as Hausa/ Fulani and where would you put a Tiv,nupe igala ,ngas ,bachama ,kwale obubra etc

This can help you

"...This immense country NIGERIA, is artificial, a forced union of three major and hundreds of minor ethnic groups
speaking different languages, observing different legal codes and loyal to different tribal groups.
Nigeria’s cure will start when the ahistorical boundary cavalierly drawn on a map by
Britain’s colonial masters dissolves. The more coherent constituent nations to
merge — composed largely of the Igbo in the southeast, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Hausa
and Fulani in the north — would be less burdened by the many rivalries that now hobble
the central government, and better positioned to govern themselves...." (FINANCIAL POST)

kuuljay:
there are over 250 tribes in Nigeria, mine has over 5million population and we don't even have a federal minister,let all other tribes to cry marginalisation and let's see how it goes

Nigeria was built on a tripod of of Igbo, Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas...Igbo have 40 million strong population...So if they are not represented in the security formation..then there is reason for concern... and suspicion....No only that...Igbos have contributed much to the nation than any other tribe...

kuuljay:
big lie!!! Call him and give him one board chairman,he will become loyal...

Would that make his observation wrong?

Samuel Achilefu is a Nigerian-born Professor of Radiography and Biomedical engineering who received the St. Louis Award for creating and developing a set of high-tech cancer-visualizing goggles with the aim of helping surgeons see cancer cells in real-time while operating on patients. According to Washington University in St. Louis, Achilefu’s ‘cancer goggles’ are designed to make it easier for surgeons to distinguish malignant cells from healthy cells, helping to ensure that no stray tumor cells are left behind during surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. He is a Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine and a researcher at Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center. https:///trZxOh #BlackIcon

Lets us celebrate our own and refresh ourselves a while, while Buhari takes a breather....

Keneking:
Amazing, what Goodluck Ebele could not achieve

What would you gain by have hefty savings while you children are picking food from the bin?

It appears Nigeria is at war with its component units...

Wouldn't it be better to organize a final sovereign national conference, for all groups of people, to discuss how best to live together...? How long would the army be in those states...? Will their presence stop the cause of the conflicts, permanently? These budget could have been used for something better...

Contributions are welcome...

The Nigeria Army authorities have deployed its officers to 32 states across the federation in a bid to tackle terrorism and insecurity challenges across the country. Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, disclosed this during the 2016 budget appraisal and 2017 budget defence held at the instance of the House Committee on Army…

How would the economy be rejuvenated if all these monies are locked up somewhere...? What would the country gain if it has N100 billion in TSA...?

Are there economists in the house?

Since the commencement of the Treasury Single Account in September 2015, over 20,000 accounts with Deposit Money Banks belonging to Ministries, Departments and Agencies have been closed with a total sum of N5.24tn moved into the TSA.

The Accountant General of the Federation, Ali Ahmed Idris, gave the figures on Tuesday in Abuja, while speaking at the opening session of a two day retreat on TSA.



The event which was attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal among other top government officials had as its theme, “One year anniversary of Treasury Single Account: Benefits, challenges and way forward.”

The TSA is a platform which was used by the government to unify all its accounts by ensuring that all monies belonging to the federal government are kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The initiative which took off fully in September 2015 had been complied with by over 900 agencies of government.

Since the commencement of the TSA, there had been series of job losses in banks owing to decline in deposits.

But the Accountant-General while speaking at the event described the implementation of the TSA as one of the success stories in the management of public finances.

For instance, he explained that through the policy, the government has been able to block leakages and abuse which had characterised the public sector before its commencement in October 2015.

Apart from blocking leakages, Idris said the TSA initiative has assisted the government to overcome the burden of indiscriminate borrowings by MDAs thus saving government a lot of bank charges associated with these borrowings.

For instance, he noted that prior to the full commencement of the TSA, the government was incurring about N4.7bn monthly on bank charges, adding that this has been eliminated through the TSA initiative.

He said, “The TSA journey started way back in April 2012. That journey could not see the light of the day as no significant gains were recorded largely due to the lack of political will.

“However, the issuance of TSA circular in August, 2015, coupled with the political will and enforcement, enabled us to achieve considerable progress on the TSA implementation.

“As at the 10th of February,2017, the total inflow of funds through the mop-up and direct debits by the Central Bank of Nigeria amounted to N5.24trn.

“We have successfully eliminated multiple banking arrangements, resulting into consolidation of over 20,000 bank accounts, which were spread over Deposit Money Banks across the country.

“This has further brought about transparency and effective tracking of government revenues.”

Abeg , mention at least 5 out of the "hundreds" of Nigerian tribes that want to leave the union with you lots?

You may have issue with comprehension..but even at that the the number of tribes remaining will still give you a huge population of more than 100 million people with massive land from the north to SW and fringes of the delta area...

ExAngel007:
So, as a lady, i have no say in politices? yeah?

...to you politics means forcing people to be patriotic at gun point? Have you tried to find out why Kanu and others want out? Have you tried to understand what is propelling their agitation...? Assuming you are married, as a lady, how long will you tolerate a vile, cruel, and cheating husband? May be forever? Britain wants to leave EU, made up of Germans, French, Spanish, Polish people because they are not gaining from the union. Igbos want to leave the union with hundreds of tribes in Nigeria because they are not gaining anything from the union...How is that a problem..?

ExAngel007:
Oh!, i forget he's still in prison. Hope he remain there till he rot!

You have no shame...you just like these people to be eating rubbish in Nigeria with you...Why must they be eating rubbish with you...? They have said they want out...why is that your problem...? They are not taking your wife, your food nor your land...so why you de beef now...?
