Slow your role, I was here too and it was the other way around.

1. Tribalism on NL was started by ibo on NL and Yoruba people used to ignore your tribal insults till like 2-3 years ago when they stopped turning the other cheek for you to insult.

2. Tribalism in Nigeria is strictly an ibo thing and it started way way before independence when hatred for Yoruba people made Zik/ibo man teamed up with the North against wisdom for such action by the rest of the South.

3. The first coup, bloodshed and National violence was introduce by ibo man when they tribally slaughtered military and political readers from from the North and SW.

4. Yoruba and Hausa people after the coup and loss did not do anything and in fact they gave power to an ibo man as the new head of state, but what did he do, he played the same ibo tribalism by refusing to punish the coup plotters and sadistic killers, he dd not even slap them on the wrist because they were ibo and this is what led to the violence against ibo people in the North

5. Our regional autonomy and system of government was terminated by ibo man when he abolished regional system of government and finally put us all in the same basket with power moved to the center instead of the states and regions.

6. Achebe spewed hatred and tribalism till his last breath and straight into his grave with his hate book...

Nigeria is what it is today because of hatred and ibo tribalism and tribal ways and their tribal was is still on full display till this very second hence still languishing in the wilderness with zero social, political and economic power and alliance..

You are basically reaping what you sow and have been sowing since way before independence...

SEE what a northerner said, after reading an independent view about the Bifara war>>>>>

"They say a man without the knowledge of history is like a man without memory. As a northern Nigerian under the age of 30 I’ve always wondered why the Igbos tend to refuse to apply themselves very well politically.

I guess they’ve always wanted to be Biafrans (and justifiably so), not Nigerians. They didnt just want to ‘threaten’ Nigerian unity like they have always been accused of doing… I now understand where they’re coming from.

Just imagine if the Igbos were simply allowed to break away and form their Biafran Republic, how this entity called Nigeria would have fared. Maybe we will have ended up becoming prosperous friendly nations and economic allies with special ECOWAS relationships. And certainly the shameless massacre by the Nigerian and British governments will have been completely avoided.

Nigeria may be better off united economically and militarily, but the true yearnings of the peoples involved count more than mere economic growth on paper. Everyone has to feel among and feel important. Maybe, just maybe, if we were all allowed to go our separate ways we will end up becoming friends and allies and everything will eventually turn out for the better" Abdullahi.

Well, you're right. Anioma is not a tribe but a Nation that has many tribes and ethnic groups. My ethnic group is Ika and there is nothing like Anioma. Anioma was adopted as a generic name for all the ethnic groups living in the geographical area.

So IKA is a tribe? What language do you speak in IKA ethnic group? What does Anioma, your generic name mean? I can assure you, your mother could be from Anioma and your father would be a Yoruba or Benin man or vice a verse...

SEE>>>>

British officials feared that if Biafra were to secede many other regions in Africa would too, threatening ‘stability’ across the whole of the continent. Most of the great powers, including the US and Soviet Union, shared this view largely for the same reason.

Yet there appears to be no reason why Biafra, with its 15 million people, could not have established a viable, independent state. Biafrans argued that they were a people with a distinctive language and culture, that they were Christian as opposed to the Muslim communities lumped into the Nigeria federal state, which had, after all, been a colonial creation. In fact, Biafra was also one of the most developed regions in Africa with a high density of roads, schools, hospitals and factories. The struggle for an independent state certainly appeared to have the support of the majority of Biafrans, whose sense of nationhood deepened throughout the war as enormous sacrifices were made to contribute to the war effort. (Marck Curtis...Nigeria’s war over Biafra, 1967-70)

Politics › Yoruba And Buhari’s Government by Stingman(op): 11:22am On Aug 27, 2016

YORUBA AND BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT

JULY 25, 2016 / : LASISI OLAGUNJU

Is it that everyone has been silenced, or these times are just normal or what really is happening? One Igboman wrote a provocative piece last week challenging what he called the inexplicable silence from the South West in the face of the debilitating economic crisis in the country and, in particular, the zone’s manifest marginalization in the present power order. I read it online. He claimed that in private discussions, he found Yoruba people livid with anger at the shut-out they suffer presently but they just won’t vent their spleen in the open. Why? Are they afraid? Afraid of what and of whom? He asked.

I read the Igboman and asked: What is he really insinuating? What is his own stake in this matter? Why can’t he just concentrate on mending his own rent garment? Can’t people just mind their business for once? Questions. Questions. But then I knew there were some truths in his unsolicited advocacy. What is happening?

Yes, there are problems. Some are eating and can, therefore, not talk now. Some ate too much and today suffer constipation and cannot talk again. Some are just, by choice, dumb. But these are not the people who lead because they don’t last. Men who eat with 10 fingers are never on the radar when searches are conducted for leaders who speak for the people. The leaders who matter know themselves. They also know when their masquerade must come out to confront the principalities of injustice. The north has the President, Senate President, Speaker, House of Representatives, SGF, NSA, Heads of the Army, Air Force, Police, SSS, Immigration, Prisons, Customs, Civil Defence — then the Ports, NNPC and others – and we are still counting. Trust and competence are said to be the criteria for these choices. So, trust and competence that were present with the Yoruba before and during the 2015 polls no longer reside in them?!

And, it would have been excused if the “trusted” and the “competent” men of the moment are doing the job right for the people’s wellness. But the people are suffering and dying in manners that suggest the entire country is fast turning into one vast IDP camp. And we are silent!

The 2015 coalition that defeated the PDP was one of promise, wile and guile. A party apparently saw the others as dispensable after the war. The hunter thinks the monkey a fool. The monkey is not a fool. He has his own logic. Have you ever heard the story of the friendship between wily monkey and burly crocodile and how monkey eventually proved that raw strength and brute force alone can’t see one through life? Mounting on crocodile’s scaly back through the waters of life’s serial failures to victory, triumphal monkey yanks off his friend:

What a strong, great swimmer you are

But how dim-witted is your being

Now, I am done with you, ugly one

You can swim on to the next river.

But then, every wise person knows that there are consequences for every bridge burnt.

The Yorubaman has a very complex sociopolitical persona. His worldview is also as complex as his politics. There is this rat (eku) in Yorubaland called eda. It is always the cause or bringer of bad things. There is always an eku eda in every season of trial. And, so the Yoruba would interrogate every bad situation, identify the eku eda which “created” it and challenge that rat to find a solution to the communal affliction it caused. When former President Goodluck Jonathan felt so comfortable, big, strong and powerful and then shut out the Yoruba from his government, it was not difficult for the Yoruba to identify among them, Olusegun Obasanjo as the eku eda who inflicted the Jonathan government on them. And, so, he had to be asked to be part of the solution to the challenges the people faced in and with that government. And he was. Every Yorubaman knows who the eku eda of this Muhammadu Buhari era are. Should they, therefore, start agitations now that what they saw, resented and rejected in the Jonathan government now pales in the face of what today’s power wielders dispense to them with ease?

One sunny, harsh afternoon in 1982, I engaged my late father on the grim economic and political realities of the Shehu Shagari era. Sitting beside him under the cool, enchanting canopy of our cocoa farm, he took a long look at the horizon. His reply was “Baba t’o dake yi” (This Baba that is silent).

“Which Baba?” I asked.

“Awolowo,” he answered and then took me on a long lesson on the politics of the Yoruba. He wasn’t a politician, never went to school but had been around long enough to know that unusual silence from the Yoruba leader should give any fumbling Nigerian power wielder every reason to worry, and every sufferer of systemic privations reason to hope.

Power, to the Yoruba, is a divine test, he told me. When you use it with fairness and justice, you receive God’s pass mark, otherwise, you are a stark failure, and your place, another takes in the heart of the Yoruba.

“When you are withdrawing from a friend whose ways you no longer understand, should he hear the receding thuds of your steps?”

“No, it is not wise.”

“If a merchant was here last year to buy our cocoa and defaulted in payment, can he come again this year?”

“He can only come if he thinks we are fools.”

“And if he calls you a fool by coming what would you do? Remember he is rich and powerful.”

“We handle him with wisdom.”

“He supplies the chemicals with which we fight black pod disease.”

“Yes.”

“Great. And without the chemicals there won’t be harvest next season.”

“Yes. We must have the chemicals.”

“Good. When the ocean charges at your vessel with fury, you do not charge back at it paddling with fury. If you do, it overwhelms you and the boat capsizes.”

“Hmmmm.”

“Sometimes even swinging your arms becomes a burden. What then should a man do?”

“You fold them on your head.”

“If a man takes you for monkey, how would you react?”

“I will demonstrate to him that we are no monkey; that even monkey is no fool. He is wise. He is only using his introspection to deal with the situation.”

In January this year, there were trending photographs online of a monkey holding onto a distressed puppy in Rode, India. A report quoted a Facebook post as observing that the monkey “makes sure the little dog’s stomach is full before eating himself” and “protects the pup from other stray dogs.” Interesting. “The adorable friendship,” a commentator stressed, “is a tribute to the power of animal compassion.” Should that vulnerable puppy then see the monkey as a fool for the sacrifices he made? The monkey is no fool; he has his own sense of justice, and care. And he serves justice in the right measure, at the appropriate time.

Listen mister, we shouldn't be subjugated as a people and we swallow it, simply because of large population. Ghana is smaller but Nigerians rush to go an live there. Igbo are very important group in Nigeria and they should be treated with respect like other people.

I maintain, that the development you see all over Nigeria, wouldn't have been as it is, without the Igbos. Yorubas are the second wealthy group, or the wealthiest, if that will make you feel good, but they are so clannish and wouldn't develop any region other than theirs..I stand to be corrected on this.

Suswam lauds Igbo for business activities in Benue

BENUE State Governor Gabriel Suswam has declared that any state government in the nation, which ignores the Igbo people, does so at the risk of its economy.
Speaking at the Government House, Makurdi, while receiving leaders of the Igbo community from the 23 local councils of the state, Suswam expressed appreciation for the Igbo community for their investments and developmental projects in the state.

According to him, when the Igbo community resolved to boycott the popular Zaki Biam Yam Market, the biggest in the nation, over disagreements with the host community, the market ran into serious challenges.

“Any state government that ignores the Igbo does so at the risk of its economy. It is in this wise that I appointed a high powered official in my government from the Igbo community to liaise between me and the community”, Suswam said.

Solozzo:
Brilliant ideas from the OP. I think that pooling money in a big purse on a regular basis would lead to corruption and mistrust. Perhaps we strengthen the Union of SE first. The union may be made up of the Govs, finance commissioners and senators who meet regularly. Some seed money of say 30M monthly from each state Govt monthly for 12 months. Then use this to get development expert consortiums to work out those dev plans discussed already. Each project can be done by getting govs , companies, rich individuals of SE origin to contribute money towards the project. The projects should be managed and developed by foreign experts. The profits can be shared by the states.

Some of the solid ventures can then be listed on the stock exchange and people in diaspora should be encouraged to own shares. Once they believe the project is transparent and in the SE, they will be encouraged to partake. Also the management structures of the ventures, could be exposed to the best expatriates, with skills in management...They mustn't be Igbos, at the beginning...For instance the Bank of England governor is a Canadian...The automobile, cement companies, IT, rail system, road networks, Agricultural ventures, tourism, coal power, oil and gas...would be listed and foreign investors will come, once they see transparency, physical development and profitability...

Though I would have preferred we do these as a separate country, as I see the project being frustrated by the central government...

impactinfluence:
Following the cash crunch that has gripped the
Nigerian economy, sources within presidency are
saying the president and his cabinet members,
should be forced to resign for their inability to
manage the economy. The decline in the
nation’s economy has been attributed to the
renewed bombing of pipelines by militants in the
Niger Delta region and the 70 per cent decline in
oil prices from about S116 per barrel in June
2014 to about $30 per barrel earlier in the
year. Investigations had showed that the initial
plan of the government, was to release the sum
of N350 billion every quarter, to ensure that
there were sufficient funds to keep capital
projects running, but this plan has been
thwarted, due to dwindling oil revenue and lack
of clear cut economic policies.
According to Post-Nigeria, the non-release of
funds is having a devastating impact on the
Ministries, Department and Agencies, (MDAs), as
they are barely able to pay salaries, while every
other obligation, particularly execution of capital
projects, have been put on hold. ”With the
excruciating hardship, and inflation rate hitting
16.5 percent, Buhari should do the needful, by
tendering his resignation letter, having failed
180 million Nigerians,” a credible source
lamented. Other reliable sources, added that the
MDAs are currently frustrated, and are even
scared of advertising for jobs, because they
know there are no funds to execute them. “The
Ministry of Finance cannot even release quarterly
allocation to MDAs as it used to do in the years
past, because it is President Muhammadu Buhari
who decides what is to be released, to which
sector and at what point”, the source added.
The United States of America, had taken a swipe
and called for the resignation of President
Buhari. US accused the Buhari administration of
sheepishly running Nigeria underground. The US
former Chairman of House Intelligence
Committee, Pete Hoekstra, made this disclosure
on behalf of the United States, in an opinion
article he wrote on Friday, June 17, published in
the Wall Street Journal.

...Making Buhari the president, is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria. Yes, he might have been serious about corruption, but he could have been easily made the EFCC chairman, while a cool headed, educated fellow, who understands the concept of "economy and diversity", becomes the president....This is my humble suggestion...though I prefer restructuring of the country...in the long run...

Politics › Ikebudu… Nigerian Girl Sets Record At Imperial College(pic) by Stingman(op): 10:02am On Jul 23, 2016

Wins Best Project Award In Bioengineering

A 20-year old Vivian Fowler Memorial College alumnus (class of 2011), Vanessa Ikebudu, has graduated in bioengineering from the Imperial College London in the top percentile, while her individual project work and presentation also won the Best Project Award of the 2016 class.

Vanessa’s project was based on an innovative, high-performance and low-cost variation of a breath condenser, which could be used to liquefy breath to form condensates that can be tested for various biomarkers associated with different diseases. The exhaled breath condenser is a new non-invasive technology, which instead of using more invasive human samples such as blood or human tissue would analyse breath for different biomarkers such as hydrogen, nitrogen oxide and even DNA, which mark for diseases such as asthma and lung cancer.

This portable device is suitable for home use and at the current stage of development weighs the same as a tea mug. By simply breathing into the apparatus, individuals would be able to determine if they are developing diseases before showing alarming symptoms such as breathlessness or coughing up blood. Therefore, diagnosis would be more in the hands of ordinary people enabling diseases to be detected sooner than later and ensuring that medical intervention would be of maximum impact.

“I’m personally moved by and highly impressed with her success because, not only has Vanessa demonstrated a rare singular focus and a commendable command of her personal and professional goals, at an oftentimes bewildering and difficult age, she has also devoted herself to serve humanity,” Ms Irene Fowler, Director, Vivian Fowler Memorial College, said.
She noted that, “this is an era when members of her generation, otherwise known as ‘Generation Z’ or ‘Gen Z’ are deemed to be screen addicts, possessing the attention span of eight seconds and seeking immediate validation and acceptance through social media. They are also beset with questionable role models, who to a great extent comprise of the constant media stream of ‘celebrity types,’ having as their main motivations in life, shameless self-promotion and aggrandizement.”

While describing Vanessa’s achievements as worthy of high praise and emulation, Fowler said, “ I strongly believe that this is the beginning of great things for Vanessa and I would passionately encourage the Nigerian youth to take a page from her book and face the future with confidence and in the belief that you are important and relevant regardless of your circumstances. Hence, those who lack the resources or support to access premier citadels of learning, should not despair or consider the situation to be an insurmountable hurdle in the pursuance of legitimate and noble career objectives, rather this challenge should supply the necessary impetus to embark on a path of brilliance, using the materials and resources which cost little and are readily available,” she said.

Imperial College is the leading academic facility in the UK for high impact research and attracts undergraduates from over 125 countries. The university’s focus is in science and technology and it is considered to be among the most innovative tertiary Institutions in Europe and their august membership includes 14 Nobel Laureates.

The discovery of penicillin, which began the era of antibiotics, is attributed to Sir Alexander Fleming, who made his discovery from some dirty dishes. The laboratory where he made his discovery is preserved as the Sir Alexander Fleming laboratory museum, St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington and forms a part of the Imperial College Health Care Trust.

Unequivocally one of the most important medical discoveries known to man, penicillin, was initially called ‘mould juice,’ likely due to the absence of grandiosity and fanfare surrounding its discovery.

Politics › Re: All We Want Is Self-determination,the Ship Call Nigeria Is Grounded- ND Avengers by Stingman: 11:18pm On Jul 22, 2016

SuperS1Panther:
Jokers. Are you tired of bombing your homeland?

Self determination will never come by bombing and threatening other parts of the nations. It can only come by bridge building, tact, diplomacy, decorum and intellectual persuasive and convincing argument.

"...Mr. President everybody is tired of this thing called Nigeria. The ship call Nigeria is grounded right now and you are so confuse..."

You self never tire with this country? In sports, youths especially from SS and SE are no longer having the urge to represent Nigeria...It's now left for northerners and the South Westerners to fill the gap...but see where the country is ranked in football for instance...check out what will happen in olympics... Nigeria used to rank just below the USA and may be Jamaica in fast races, but now they are no where to be found...You can't continue to force people to be with you...It's natural for people to get tired...The elite know what to do to make everybody happy...but they will not...just to please their primordial instincts of tribal affinity...It robs off badly on other parts of the whole...and that pulls Nigeria to its weak knees...
