either you are not Anioma, either you are a liar either you are ignorant. It is a well known fact that Anioma are Edo. Before colonisation by the british, they were full fledged citizens of Benin Kingdom with many occupying the highest positions of the Kingdom. Even Chief Agho Obaseki was Anioma. And once again thé teritory of Bénin Kingdom is drawn on precolonial maps, so it is not a mystery. Fool.

Don't mind him and his likes. if UNN is doing badly, they will say their western schools are superior. if UNN is doing well, they will accuse her of tribalism and biase.

no one is as competitive as the Igbo in Nigeria, we are everywhere, i mean EVERYWHERE, (business, trade, academia) that cannot be said in THE SAME BREATHE about others with all due respect.

It's definitely about bias.
Check the most chosen school in jamb, you won't find unn in 1st 3. That's a typical problem there, but they'll start wailing when ui or Unilag deny dem admission.
This people are very intolerant to others but come to Lagos and kano and see them forming landlord...
Check and compare the ratio of Igbo students in Unilag and Abu to Yoruba or hausa/Fulani students in unn and be the judge.
that's not true. the schools you mentioned admit purely on merit.

few Yoruba and Hausa opt for UNN, Yoruba feel their western schools are okay that's why they are not much in UNN. One of UNN's DVCs is a Yoruba man, the chancellor is the oni of ife too, check your facts before accusing Igbo falsely.

Transparency, I can't tell oh. But I doubt that UNN will be very fair.
But with a very good jamb score (at least 300) you should get a any of these schools.

Your target jamb score should be 320 if you really want to be confident about getting admission in medicine in these schools.
most easterners settle for UNN so it is very competitive. its not about the school not being fair. if that was the case, then one could also say UI isn't fair.

UCH
UNTH

these two university teaching hospitals are very competitive.

I'm getting extremely tired of people with poor Knowledge always acting like Anioma's voice. I'm getting so fucking tired of Delta South, Edo and every fucking body making themselves the voice of Anioma. Can you niggas leave us with hell alone. Edo people how many fucking times are you people going to be warned to stop including Anioma as part of you? How many times? Don't y'all know your territory where it starts and ends? Just because they banned most of us Anioma on this forum, does not give una the right to start your bullshit again. I mean really? I mean seriously? Y'all Niggas just don't stop do y'all? First of all, since una are still acting clueless, Agbor DOES NOT represent Ika entirely. Agbor is just a small enclave in Ika communities. There are other people within Ika communities. Secondly, Agbor is also NOT a representative of the entire Anioma. Again they are a small enclave in Anioma. There are multiple communities in Anioma that aren't Agbor. My people are Anioma but we aren't Agbor. If una are constantly going to continue to force yourselves as voice of Anioma... Suggestion: LEARN about Anioma. Anioma is NOT Edo. We've said this shit repeatedly. Hell there's an Anioma territory in Edo state and till this very day, they are fighting to be removed from Edo state. What irritates me the fucking most about you Edos and your constant attempt to force us part of una is that the Anioma within una, Ironically enough an Ika community, are constantly reporting of marginalization and prejudice by you niggas yet, you MF come online to screech that Anioma is part of "Edo people" yet the fucking Edos are who marginalizing and mistreating Anioma in Edo state. The same fucking Edo people are who pointed out Aniomas within their territory to be killed during the Biafra war. F2k y'all.

And btw since y'all Niggas keep pretending to lack knowledge, which I know by now y'all Niggas have been educated more than enough since this is a repeated argument with y'all Edo niggas on this forum, even the Ika's una keep repeatedly trying to use as representative of Anioma, there's high division within their community including Agbor. Just like you Niggas quote the new Dein as representative of Agbor (who by the way was raised by the Oba of Bini); likewise, one of the past Dein letters contradicts the new Dein's comments and I can provide that statement if need be. That's the level of division within Agbor. Learn the communities you lots keep trying miserably to force as part of you. Your ancestors failed miserably at una land stealing yet, the offsprings are back to the same bullshit. WTF is wrong with una?

Loooo @ the emboldened. grin Just listen to this witless clod. My disaffection is because Nnamdi Kanu is not my clansman. Why the Bleep would I want my clansman to be a deranged riffraff? And you came to this genius conclusion how?

What the fucck are you rambling about Buhari "giving way to PDP" in the election? That is what you understood from my comment, you window-licking fuccktard? I said Buhari would hand over to Tinubu's choice for Presidency in 2023 after completing his 2nd term while IPOB zombies keep crying. What is the relationship between that and the reetarded drivel you concocted above? You didn't do English comprehension in primary and secondary school?

Again, nobody owes you riffraffs a referendum. Not even advanced democracies offer one to any agitating riffraffs that demand it. If you want one, meet your elected representatives to facilitate the process. Representing your interests is what you elected them for, but your dumbasses don't seem to understand basic civics. Or IPOB itself can form a political organisation and contest elections. No one's stopping you. If the leaders of the organisation are too intellectually lazy to elevate their movement beyond shouting "zoo" upandan by mobilising and organising and building a political base from grassroots support, then it is not up to the FG to do your homework for you.

Why would I envy a useless organisation whose brightest idea is to tell people no to vote? grin Why would I envy an organisation that are laughing stocks outside their base of cult members? Envy indeed. As I said earlier, after promoting your "no referendum, no election" stupidity, my only consolation when Buhari completes a 2nd term, and hands over to Tinubu's choice (probably Osinbajo or Fashola) to rule for another 8 years to 2031 before power moves again to the North till 2039, is watching you Nnamdi Kanu zombies in your bitterness and misery. grin
as usual, you evaded my questions.

let's wait and see who laments after the election. your PDP goons isn't a threat to APC...and you keep displaying your stupidity in threatening IPOB with buhari's reelection. it is you that should be praying from your master's (atiku) win.

PDP or APC parties are inconsequential to IPOB.

ipob shall keep pushing for referendum while you losers keep hoping for an Igbo eldorado in a failed country like Nigeria.

we shall soon know who the real intellectual dumbos are...Lol.. suit yourself.

BTW, you are right. someone like nnamdi Kanu can never be your clansman, he is too farsighted and intelligent to be that. EVANS the millionaire kidnapper is the ideal clansman for you, omambala greedy coward, but at least, don't let envy of kanu eat you up.

1) I don't care if you think I'm Igbo or not.
2) I am neither committed to the Nigerian project, nor the Biafran agenda. I would pay serious attention if people of competence carried the Biafran message. I've been more alarmed by the intellectual bankruptcy of IPOB, their provocative incitements and insolence and intolerance and bigotry, and their embarrassing antics than turn Ndigbo to a laughing stock around the country.



The emboldened claim is baseless. At best, Ndigbo were catching up to Yorubas with what Chinua Achebe called "a fantastic burst of energy" in the period. This doesn't mean they were the "most advanced" anything. Igbos are typically stereotyped by other Nigerians as evincing this kind of pomposity. Live above the stereotype and humble yourself and respect others. You are not better than anyone. Supremacist language like that is what fuels the fires of many IPOB members, rather than any coherent aspirations.
As for "never lived closer to home", I was born and raised in New Haven in Enugu, and schooled in UNN. And I haven't questioned the grassroots support of IPOB in the SE. My point is that the sentiments are misguided, and you have people who probably couldn't even name their LGA chairman cheering an organisation that tells them than "the zoo" is responsible for all their problems. This is simply delusional.



I've never bashed any Igbo who has dreams about Biafra. I bash IPOB. Entirely different things. You can support secession without succumbing to the deranged ravings of a lunatic. And yes, I have found myself getting overly aggressive in my critiques of IPOB supporters. Some might be reasonable who do not deserve my crass dismissals. But I have become wired to deliver the aggressive responses because I have not met a more intolerant, hateful group of rabid bigots in my life than many IPOB members. My attempted civil interactions with them on social media tends to degenerate quickly because they are intolerant of dissenters and can only argue like feral animals, so I have learnt to speak in their language.
first of all,

- between Nigerian govt and pro-biafrans, who is more intolerant? who has shed innocent blood? who have betrayed their people?

that noted, you said you have nothing against pro-biafrans except IPOB, your lame reason being that the latter are intellectually bankrupt. you still havent buttressed your evidence for their "intellectual bankruptcy", obviously your disaffection is because it isn't your clans men pursuing the agenda, you have enviously resorted to mudslinging those who have bravely rose to the occasion and shook the table.

in case your brain leaked, eastern Nigeria was one of the fastest growing economies in the late 50s and early 60s, its a statement of fact. I bet you are too shallow to admit it. let Google help you.

Thinking that buhari will willingly give way to PDP in the forthcoming elections shows the magnitude of your ignorance. to also think that PDP winning will automatically translate to better life for ndigbo is another display of you first class mumuism.

Nnamdi kanu is crude but original, brave, well-informed and dedicated to a biafran referendum, its common sense to know that having a referendum remains Nigeria's nightmare, if not, why not enact an executive bill for a referendum to determine the political trajectory of eastern Nigerians?

your subtle and concealed envy for the giant strides made by IPOB in projecting biafranism and Biafra consciousness is why you are doomed in your failed attempt to bury IPOB.

let those who want to vote do so, and let those who want otherwise follow their own course.

I have been following your comments on Igbo threads - albeit silently. I have chosen to react today.
You always bash the Igbo state; you are always quick to deride the Igbos and laugh their political fate to scorn. You always cite the SW as your politically correct and most ideal region; always quick to shout down Nnamdi Kanu and poke fun at his followers. Always quick to point out how we Igbos are doomed geographically.

You have been asked many times by people if your true identity was Igbo and I am very curious to know if you are really Igbo becuase you neither act nor speak like one.
Why dont you look on the brighter side of things? Why write a Biafran State off when it has never even been given a chance?
You Think Lesotho and Swaziland will still remain the same in the next 50years?

The SE in the 1950's to 1960's was the most advanced tribe in Africa. Not every group of people can absorb refugees and after-war effects the way SE did. Here we are 2019 blocks behind people whom we "showed the way". What happened? Who caused it? SE or Nigeria?
Guys like you are the 'faint-hearted' type. Trying to sound correct. It's obvious you have never lived closer to home. You need to see the feeling back home. It's all good condemning your brothers when you have never seen the situation and heard from them. They are the people that matters.

I am no fan of Nnamdi Kanu - since he chose to go about the right thing in a very wrong way; but I must commend him for raising the consciousness once again when it seemed the Igbos were being a little carried away. It was down to a brave man to do that. But most of his ideologies are far fetched. And I agree that his name calling and excesses was a little bit overzealous but how wrong is he?

Can you honestly tell me your stance in the scheme of things? I do not think you are a dissenting Igbo.

Have you ever harbored the dreams of a Sovereign Igbo state whether realistic or not?

You know your watery, Igbo-bashing arguments always belie your claim to being a Nwafor! All that rubbish you put up there in the first paragraph actually make a case for those of us that say Ndigbo are being held back from fulfilling their destiny by being tied down in this unworkable union that deluded peeps like you have been trying to get to work for nigh on 60 years! The cra'p you listed up there as the negatives Ndigbo have are actually the very same lame arguments trotted out by chronic Igbo haters who want to justify their hate and derision towards us!

If you weren't so daft, you'd have realised it's the Nigerian system that's thrown up all these misfits and deplorables that parade themselves as the Igbo political elite! You actually think that in a free Biafra, the visionless lot we have today piloting our affairs would stand a chance in a free and fair election when they're up against the likes of Soludo, Ezekwesili, Moghalu, Sam Amadi, etc? The crooked and rigged political system we operate today in 'one Nigeria' is what gives room for thugs and semi-illiterates to raise up to be godfathers, cabals and oligarchs who dictate who can or can't run for office, and the electorate/masses have little of no say in the matter!

It's the same Nigerian way of doing things that is giving a visionless and incompetent geriatric like Buhari the confidence that he can 'win' the 2019 presidential elections regardless of how poor his first tenure was; all he needs is a compromised INEC and army, a godfather calling the shots in the south-west, loyal governors in the core north....on standby to rally the almajiris and illegal immigrants (not minding how much dollars they stuff in their agbada), and one or two efulefus in the south-east/south-south! Job done!!!

The Eastern Region had one of the fastest growing economies in the world when everyone was answering their papa name in the early to mid 60s! It was after that ill-advised Nzeogwu coup (conveniently tagged a Igbo coup as they had to find a justification for all their wickedness) that our fortunes as a region started heading south! Dr M I Okpara, the Premier of the eastern Region at the time, is testament to the kind of leaders Ndigbo can elect when left to manage their own affairs without outside interference from those with a different agenda to ours!

Not to place much emphasis on oyel (which has done us more harm than good), but if you were asked today if Alaigbo is richly blessed in hydrocarbons, what would be your answer? Or are you one of those that limits the extent of Alaigbo to just the 5 south-east states? Do you know the part of Egbema rich in oyel and gas was sliced away with surgical precision and placed in Rivers State? Do you know ONELGA in the same Rivers State (my local gov't area) has one of the highest onshore deposits of oyel and gas in Nigeria? Leaving out the Ogba (who seem to have issues being identified as Igbo), doesn't Ndoni and Egbema put paid to your senseless claim that Igboland hasn't much oyel and gas to sustain themselves with as an independent country? And we've not even talked of the deposits in Anambra and Imo, which are not being exploited to their full capacities either because they were tagged in the past as 'future reserves' by Abuja (or something stupid like that)...not to be exploited, or because there's a deliberate attempt to under-exploit proven reserves in the south-east just so those 'nyamurees' don't get too rich! shocked

Your argument that no state in the south-east generates a decent IGR shows how little you understand about states viability! So the IGR receipts of a state is enough for you to declare that state viable or not? A little over four years ago, a state like Ogun was posting IGR figures far less than they are doing today. Going with your argument...four years ago we should have written them off as not being economically viable given what they returned as IGR receipts for the year, not minding the fact that there are other variables that come into play in determining a states capacity to generate IGR that can come close to or match what it receives from its federal allocation: some states may not have developed a efficient revenue collection system; while others may not be as keen to collect as much revenue as they should, maybe so as to encourage businesses to grow or to attract new ones to the state!

Dude, i can tell you for nothing that if the United Kingdom was forcefully tied to Europe the way Ndigbo are tied to Nigeria, and were roped into a union with savage, primitive minded toe-rags that see them as being less deserving for political appointments and infrastructure either b'cos of what a kinsman of theirs did more than 50 years ago, or because they gave only 5% in the last election....dude, i can tell you for nothing that economic contraction would be the least of the UKs worries! The UK electorate would vote overwhelmingly for BREXIT and would not be prepared to brook any nonsense from Westminster! As far as they're concerned, if Theresa May does anyhow, she will see anyhow!

You talk of trade barriers and such being put up to prevent a newly emergent Biafran nation from trading smoothly with the rest of the world! So you're now assuming Nigeria would remain as is if say Biafra leaves with just the 5 south-east states? You actually think the core muslim north doesn't know that if Biafra (in whatever configuration it may take) leaves 'one Nigeria' that it would set the ball rolling for other ethnic groups in the south to leave as well? Why do you think they are not even brooking the idea of a referendum in just those 5 south-east states if they were so confident only those ones will leave with the rest ethnic-groups/states remaining in 'one Nigeria' to continue to have their resources milked while they're given a paltry 13% as if they were being done a favour? If Biafra comes into being, there would be no barriers worth worrying about b'cos if we choose not to develop Obuaku, we would be spoilt for choice which other port city we could enter a partnership or shared-ownership with! There's Port Harcourt; Calabar; Ibom; Bayelsa; and Warri to choose from, so i wouldn't loose any sleep over sea access if i were you! Biafra would be the beautiful bride!

I would sooner listen to Mazi Kanu than listen to an anonymous peep like you! He's put his life on the line for his beliefs and his people! If you have an alternative to IPOB, make yourself and your argument known, and if it makes sense you may just be in with a chance to torpedo his agitation and replace it with yours which i'm sure would be no more than: let's keep on praying 'one Nigeria' will work...even after nearly 60 years of praying, and let's use Buharis' INEC to vote out who we don't like and vote in who we like...possibly, one chosen for us by a greedy godfather or cabal! smiley
epic! epic!! epic!!!

if its not the way you see it then its not that way right? thank God the history books from seasoned scholars and the anioma people themselves are there.

ndi ebe anyi si na - onye aghala nwanne ya.

I know Igbo history so much that I wont allow some edo tribe to speak for another. all and I repeat all the people from ogwashi ukwu and asaba that I know kwere na ha bu ndi Igbo.

one omambala "onye oke-amam'ihe" won't come and change history because of your beef with them.

ndi Igbo ma onwe ha.

thank God for history.

Anioma(ika) isn't Igbo but mixture of Benin and igbo
