Where is the truck

Hmm

Ayebagbalinyo:
From the bottom of my heart I hate them with passion.
That is it

Mr hater, If your father is not a Fulani herdsman, I dare you to mention your tribe.

Niger delta is not a tribe. don't hide under it.

Koronu Tout!

With this coming of Covid, I don't know why I have this feeling that Arab spring revolution will break out in the North soon.

This suffering is just too much for Nigeria.

Pres Buhari should just pls resign honourably.

Infant analysis, biafra will be a failed country with alot of Visa bans while oduduwa and arewa will be no different from Benin and Niger republic, look just face the truth because as it is now no region can be self sufficient except the Niger Delta in short arewa and oduduwa have better chance because of sea access and agriculture if you know you know. FYI Ireland can never be more developed than the uk

Ur analysis is not balanced. If u go by geopolitical zones, stop deceiving yourself by mentioning Arewa. Will u finally kill off d indigenes of Benue, Taraba, Jos etc and add to your Arewa? They don't want you. Stop forcing yourself on them.

Agriculture, desertification taking its toll on the north. Esp the core north. Even with the government subsides like fertilizer, tractors etc. The yields are insignificant. We import more food than we produce in this country.

Biafra, even if they are forced to go with their 5 SE states as you always pray and wish, only their unexplored oil wells can run the economy.

spendoon:
Look Mr Man I have been reading some stupid comments of how economic activities will crash in Nigeria if igbos leave, but what you fail to understand is that business is all about space when you guys leave others will take over in short I remember when northern leaders asked igbos leave some people we're happy saying let them go so they can take over those shops and type of business they do.

Well, You can take over their businesses... But know it that hunger and starvation will finish the core north in no distant time.

Majority of core northerners earn salaries from government agencies Army, Police, Nnpc, immigration, Phcn, Civil service etc. There will be no more funds from oil sales to finance this.

Don't think that groundnut pyramid will do any magic.

By the time all d oil blocs and wells will change hands, u guys will be grateful to even be alive.

johnmartus:
Many problems confronting us as a nation today was instigated by so called Musa yar'adua. I have already stated it on my write up there.

Pls what are these problems? Can you state them briefly. You wrote a book there with no point to buttress your argument.

How was security under Yaradua? Where they herdsmen, BH, Militants etc?

Did he witch hunt pple with state agent like DSS, efcc, icpc?

He was so much criticised by pdp and oppositions... Was there freedom of speech? Did he gag the press?

junketer:
why would igbo leaders sabotage amotekun? Why do you people always find a way to blame igbos? What is wrong with you people? Have igbos killed even one yoruba person anywhere in nigeria or the whole world? Have the igbos ever fought yorubas anywhere in nigeria or the world? NO. So why would an igbo person sabotage amotekun? This is really sad. Honestly.

Don't mind the Jihadist. They are not yoruba... If it sounds like a Fulani islamist, its must be from a Jihadist.

Divide and Conquer, you think you can reap from our division. We wise pass una.

johnmartus:
Yoruba enemy are igbo and we will come together and fight our common enemy in due time. This will sound wired to gullible people that igbo are Yoruba enemy.

Dan iska, stop crying!

You always wish we take our fights to the streets. But no, we are not animals like you. Till tomorrow, Yoruba's and Igbos will continue to bicker and fight. It ends on the internet.

On Amotekun we stand! Igbos support for Amotekun might not have been felt, because its not fully operational. You all know when you run all the way to Funtua Jalon.

Divide and Conquer Jihadist, you think you can reap from our division. We wise pass una.

It is still early to show ur herdsmen the road to Funtua Jalon... Tell them to start packing their bags and luggage from pple's land. Their plans has failed.

johnmartus:
I will entertain your madness when you fully ready to defend your ineffective called president.

Who is your president? Are you denying him now? Keep supporting him. You think you can use Buhari to claim pple's land.

It is still early to show ur herdsmen the road to Funtua Jalon... Tell them to start packing their bags and luggage from pple's land. Their plans has failed.

johnmartus:
YarAdua is a bad leader and he has nothing to offer Nigerians. He spent 3years on the seat shouting 7 point Agenda without executing one point till his death.

In the Quran: Sura XCIX, 7- Allah said that he will be the one to reward the good doers and to punish the evil doers.

Wicked beings, Keep showing your selves. You are a Fulani jihardist.

You are angry your brother was a liberal Muslim that didn't play your Islamist agenda ball and you poisoned him.

Buhari has done his worst already. Ruga didn't sail through. Self defense is getting awakened in Nigerians. I pity you ordinary herdsmens defending him. You will all bear the brunt in due time. Keep supporting evil.

Mraphel:
Yaradua was one of the most criticised presidential candidate by Igbos in the history of Nigeria.

They called him
sickler
slowpoke
They wished him dead even when he was alive.

Niger delta and other militants sprung up in the SS and SE when he emerged the president. Yaradua was looked down upon only to out performed Jonathan.

Yaradua only became hero when Jonathan performed less to expectation unlike yaradua.

Lair, shame on you!

The Igbos supported him greatly for he was a man of rule of law. He undid a lot of injustices meted to Igbos esp by the OBJ administration.

Ibeto cement factory was reopened. Yaradua even acknowledged the unfair treatment done to Ibeto that he gave him import waivers to cover up damages. Even to the chagrin of Dangote who challenged the order in court.

He began working for Alamesigha's case to be transferred to Nigeria, so he can grant him presidential pardon. For he saw Alams was witch hunted by OBJ, though of them were corrupt. He wanted sanity.

He gave ND militants amnesty, for he saw that they had been treated unfairly. His Islamist brothers starred Boko Haram, thinking he would support them, he fought them to extinction.

He was a liberal Fulani moslem. This was the main reason the Fulani islamist Mafia hated him.

Biafra agitators then, Massob wasn't getting attention from people because their wasn't anything to agitate for again. He has corrected a lot of evils OBJ started.

He was correcting a lot of lopsidies in federal service like postings and promotions in the Army, police etc. much to the annoyance of the islamist.

Stop twisting arguments. Igbos love him, He loved everyone. He wasn't partial.

Flying58:
And Mbaka !

You can't find Fr Mbaka here. I still don't know why.

Paretomaster1:
You r buying lands ND building houses because u were accommodated, can u swear u gv the same freedom to Northerners in the East?

Nzeogwu killed Sardauna, and your brothers in the North troop out singing, Dancing, and mocking the Northerners.

Pls feel free to name anywhere in the east where a non igbo is ever short changed? Just one, I bet you, I will give you 10k now.

Stop repeating all these malicious lines invented by politicians. Lands are bought with money, how can a mai ruwa, kiosk operator, agbo seller, tailor and other low income earner have so much to buy land. You can only buy land if you are rich enough for it.

Not all igbos are rich enough to buy lands in the north. Will they now say, they were denied of buying lands.

NGpatriot:

ibo people don't hate northerners, but they insult, abuse and ridicule them everyday.

Insult, ridicule them... Where? In their land Kaduna, kano where?

Apart from nairaland and some social media platform where racial/ tribal bickering is the norm. Where have they been ridiculed?

Nigerians do engage in banter with Ghana, Kenya, South Africa etc online... How is that hatred?

The only reason you are in the North is for survival and your daily bread which pretty much doesn't exist in ibo land. You are not there to help or give medicine to anybody so stop condescending as if you are better than them.

Saying that daily bread can't be gotten in IBO land is out of malice. It's subtle hatred. It's all part of the ugly life style we Nigerians live.

People migrate to wherever they feel they better opportunity.
If I say your brothers in the UK, also went there because they would have died of hunger in Nigeria... How is it?

Just the way the Hausa are in the east operating kiosk, mai ruwa etc. The yourubas selling agbo drugs, tailor, taxi etc.

It's business interest don't twist the argument on its head.

And am not saying that am better than anybody if I decide to give back to the Society from where I made my money.

You pple should stop being malicious and stop twisting facts.

Paretomaster1:
You see that is where the problem is, the Igbos keep feeding their children with lies, hate, and propaganda, painting other tribes black.

I thought K the Northerners haveoved on despite losing respected figures like Sardauna, Balewa, Maimalari etc, evidtly is how they allow the Igbos settled in Northern cities comfortably....

The Igbos cannot learn, they cannot change..

Honestly, you are the ones hating here. If the Igbos hate the north, will they buy their lands and build houses on it. If the Igbos haven't moved on will the NGOs they have in the north be giving free meal, cloth, medication etc to the less privileged in the north.

Ipob is different from igbo.

Ipob are still agitating because of the injustices that are still being meted to them.

If there is justice and fairness, ipob will die a natural death.

TheTourist:
AS AN IGBO TRIBE MEMBER I WILL HUMBLY OWN UP TO THIS BEING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER MADE. IT KICKSTARTED A CHAIN REACTION OF EVENTS THAT EVENTUALLY CONSUMED US ALL.

A chain reaction indeed. Nothing can be more truer my brother.

Sadly, the final nail to our coffin was Ojukwu RiP

It's high time we free ourselves from Ojukwu Syndrome.

1. Riding on the sympathy of the people, He got into power and started an ego contest with Gowon. Instead of seeking for justice for massacred by the going to the UN or Brits he started seeking for an independent nation.

He wanted to be president by all means.

2. USSR first came to offer support to him, he rebuffed them and they went to Nigeria. He got no major world power backing. War is not fought with bare hand nor bluff.

3. He ran the great Biafra down with no cabinet. Only him alone took major political and military decisions alone. At one point, the great Zik was bundled onto the plane for peace talk against his wish.

4. He didn't surrender until everything went down. People were getting starved to death, being bombed in their homes.
Old men and teenagers were conscripted to fight to death with little or no arms.

He didn't feel the suffering of the people at all.

If he believed so much in this war, he should have refused to leave the battlefield alive or better still commit suicide. Nzeogwu and many others went that way.

May we never experience anything like him again. We shall surely rise, we have risen and we are rising.

1966 Coup by Maj. Nzeogwu – The Biggest Mistake of The Igbo Military Officers & Political Elites

Whenever I read a new book on the January 1966 bloody coup that ended Nigeria’s first indigenous government led by Tafawa Belewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe, tears roll down my eyes.

You are so right my brother, I have always wanted to write about this issue. It so painted the Igbos bad in the eyes of Nigeria. We Nigerians have now hated ourselves so much. And this is the genesis.

I think for proper national reconciliation and healing to begin, the Igbo leadership should have to resitiute to Nigerians first on behalf of the Igbos.

Then the northerners too, for their retaliation was worse.

kelvine:
Niger Delta was safe. The militants received amnesty.
North, South, East and West were happy.
No BOKO, No IPOB, No Bandits, No killer herdsmen.
Now see where we are.

May our helper not die untimely

I strongly believe that there is a supernatural force working against Nigeria's advancement. This force may have occultic backing and also white magic. All aimed to determine the destiny of black people.

Whenever any good thing is about to happen to us, calamity will arise from no where.

I think strong prayer is needed to break from this.

dominique:
It was during his regime that we knew what it felt like for lecturers not to go on strike. His administration introduced different batches and streams for NYSC that enabled a lot of PCMs go for service earlier than expected. Before then, graduates had wait for about a year or two before getting deployed. Too bad death took him away from us before we could realize his full potentials. Continue to RIP OMY


Boko Haram started during his regime though.

RiP to the great man. The man of integrity. The man of rule of law.

His death is still shrouded in mystery. Some part of me believed he was poisoned by pple who don't want Nigeria to succeed. Maybe CIA or some northern cabals who seemed not happy with his way of enthroning equality at all levels.


At the bolded, it's false. Book Haram was soundly defeated by him. Try read up. Part of the reasons northern cabals were against him.

givbitcoin:
People should stop creating problem for themselves and the generality of this country. Those that seek to divide this country covertly have no idea what is coming for them.

I stated here months ago that amotekun will not see light of the day. Today, that fraudulent outfit is in the past. I hope the rest of you planning to ferment problem in this country can learn from this.

Op, pls I want you to proffer a solution to the non abating killings by bandits, herdsmen's issue in the southwest.

These are the reasons why Amotekun was formed. Since you have been against it from the onset. Pls can you kindly show us a way out of this insecurity.

Pls be sincere.

justtoodark:
dont mind this ipobians....

democratic processes are very slow....

Stop this rubbish abeg. The OP and Tsephanyah that supported him are die hard northerners. I have noticed a growing number of hateful northerners recently.

The Ipob leader even supports Amotekun. Igbos support Amotekun too.

Stop being a willing dividing tool in the hands of these people.

Arrewa:
the north is getting better and keep getting better.. At least our leaders are now waking up and doing what they're are supposed to do... But what I don't understand is these propaganda and fabricated fake news used in energising ipob thugs to have cheap point in insulting the north... Instead of facing their region that is being ruin by their selfish politicians! Their problem is north... They don't good roads, they don't have clean waters, they have large number of beggars in abakiliki yet their problem is north... Always on Nairaland fabricating fake news about the north

Which area(s) are experiencing this betterment in
the North?

Ordinary peace, El rufai can't maintain between north and south. He will rather keep supporting one faction against the other.

Zamfara, kebbi govts keep paying bandits to stay away. Is that developments?

Education is a no go area, Industrialization is still dream.

Farming, which the north is known for, has not witnessed any improvements. Their failure at ranching has let their herdsmen loose running over pple's land even with federal backing...

Ogbeni, stop crying oh... Nobody do una

East don't shield their non performing governors. Anyone below par is called out, just like the case of Abia state. Aside Abia, others are excellent.

Arrewa:
keep energising yourselves with fake news... Every single alimjiri is being taking back to their parents

As much as I like this... Be informed that this tempo can be sustained by determination to stop gandollaring state funds...

Your core north govts should stop embezzling funds meant for the developments of its people and region.

We all love to see a better north where children all go to school and engage in meaningful venture.

Peace bro

Pls ndi Anambra consider Ngige for next governor.

Partisanship aside, personality first...His short time as a governor speaks volumes for him. He brought a new lease of life to it. Developments were springing up everywhere.

He broke the back bone of god fatherism in Anambra. Even while working with an antagonistic and opposing federal govt, He is not a sellout. Always supporting his people.

My two cent pls.

shugabasbn:
Sending those innocent boys back to their parents is the best options.

Who are their parents? Mai shayi, kidnappers, robbers etc. Most of them don't even know their mothers talk less of their father. Forget talk! This is painful, I cried during my service year in Kebbi.

This country has long entered trouble with North's unproductive overpopulation. Yet when you talk about it. Their govt will say, Allah said this, Mohammed said that...Restructure? No way.

Their continued union with South and middle belt is taking us to the negative on the balance sheet.

If they don't want to be redeemed from their woes, they should be left alone to perish.

ChoCho54:
Ask Arrewa posting pictures of the elites to decieve himself.

Arrewa will tell you, they are Nigeriens and Chadians... scum of a people

The few NGOs that occasionally reach out to them are even southern owned. Yet their learned colleagues like arrewa them will never be grateful. Keep on hating the south. It will consume you all totally and it's doing so already.

NextD18:
The problem and major cause of poverty in the North is that most parents there are illiterate and lazy at the same time.

They only focus and channel all their strength on Religion without thinking for the betterment of their kids and family.

The core north should address their deceitful policy of reckless procreation to dominate in population and election. Over 70% of its population are unproductive.

When they come of age, they become a nuisance to the society. Kidnappers, robbers, joining BH. The previledge ones will be sent down to south for gateman, mai ruwa, mai shayi, mai anything.

My heart goes out to these kids. This is so degrading to humanity. It's an eye sore on the road here in PH.

How can you explain to your kids in the car when their fellow kids come around and start begging with rags?

Baba Wole, it's now time to be speaking big big grammar and long epistle. If it was Jona, it was insults upon insults coming from you.

Enjoy the change you help foist on Nigeria. Let Buhari not hear any fiam from you or else, you will experience dictatorship in another level.

I still have great respect for you tho.

mvem:
Have you forgotten former NSA head Azazi under Jonathan said PDP is Bokoharam... Later on he was mysteriously killed in a helicopter crash with then Kaduna Governor. What do you have to say about that ?

What now stops Buhari from stopping BH? Buhari can't stop it because it's a Fulani islamism agenda. Same with the herdsmen all over the country. I dare him to stop them, if he is sincere.

Blackmail is also the weapon here.
Jonathan had seen it that's why he left the govt for them. Both the Christians among them that were blackmailing him. What is the result now?

It is now time for trading blame. We are now looking for who to blame.
You are looking at incompetency staring you in the face, but you are turning elsewhere to looking for ghost.
The govt, senators etc. Nobody knows who to blame again.
How long shall these continue and how bad can it get? No one knows!

If this govt can't perform, what stops them from resigning. Were they chained there? Should they wait till the tenure is over? How many pple would be left.

Death is allover Nigeria now.

As we are talking now people are getting killed now... Nigerians will still be slaughtered tomorrow by same BH, herdsmen etc... Who knows who will be the next victim.

It's not about politics.

Buhari please honourably resign for the sake of blood flowing ceaselessly which you don't have answer to.
