Are you Igbo? If you are then you will know that no matter how much the Igbo man builds bridges with the hausa and yorubas, there will forever exist this mistrust and envy towards the igbos by this groups.I dont want to talk about the So called south south(Ijaws, edo,itsekiri, urhobo especially), they have proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted to align fully with the Igbos without sentiments... Our only hope for sustenance in this contraption is Biafra..

Are you for real?

What are you or what do you have that others are not or do not have?

Part of your delusional thinking that gives you false sense of superiority that others see as inferiority complex.

. Yeriba demi-god awoleowo drank rat poison AKA otapiapia__ IBB

Ojukwu died paralysed and he was watching someone romping his wife in his vegetative state.

Zik was drooling on himself before his death.

Achebe?? One should not even talk of that bitter bed ridden shameless old man.

ARIZONA123:
. Ur leader and king(falae) was kidnapped recently but you guys denied that those behind it aint fulanis but igbos. What do we call that type of hipocracy? COWARD!!!!

Really!!!!!

The same way they kidnapped your village head and cut off his head and you guys were making mouth

ARIZONA123:
. Odumakin is the next target of the fulanis

If i hear!!!!!

Is it Odumakin that has turned to Gollum in the dungeon cage DSS kept him or the lunatic albino that is your god -- Nnamid Kanu?

speedyGonzales:
I don't get it, how is that guy Albino?
and is Nigerian really this discriminatory towards albino?

Nigerians are not discriminatory towards Albinos, but Nnamid Kanu is a LUNATIC ALBINO.

IlekeHD:
Igbos are cowards....... if you're looking to hire igbos to protest, you'd have to be Saraki or one Fulani clown like that.
99.99999% of IPOB youths are touts, urchins and frustrated souls.
The ones outside Nigeria have been brain-washed by Nnamidi cownu

They only protest when there is money involved.

Can you remember the shameless 1million man match for the Devil#s Incarnate -- Abacha, spearheaded by one of them -- Daniel Kanu.

No one will ever take you serious until you start voting pro-secessionists into positions of authority.

People will keep seeing you as clowns until when your National Assembly members can stand up in the hollow chamber to advocate for Biafra.

For now, it is a mere avenue for the venting of the bottled up frustrations of the impoverished ones among you.

FreeGlobe:
Eziachi this cannot be better said. I wonder who gave these minorities the guts to be talking thrash as if they are now on the same level with igbos. As for this dumbo I quoted, isn't it better you go and ask your leaders to quickly send emissary to Fulani's in the north before they totally conquer the endangered yoruba tribe instead if crying about biafra?

It will be more beneficial for you to send your emissaries to Port Harcourt to beg the minorities to allow you to rename it back to Iguocha or is it Igweocha.

All of a sudden, the Biafraudsters are shrinking their landmass back to their original landlocked gully eroded land.

This is an aftermath of series of rejections they have witnessed in recent times and I can only imagine the psychological blow it dealt these clowns.

As usual, they must find a way of dragging yorubas into any of their issues.

Why must you coerce people to be part of your fraud?

Why are these clowns so scared to be on their own as a nation?

Why the attachè by fire and by force?

For a nation of over 40million to be dragging minorities into them by force, there must be something fishy or they are upto something cynical with the people they want to drag or coerce into their fraud of a nation.

I am very proud to be a YORUBA.

Any day you ask why we never go back to our land , na dis kind answer you go receive

Wetin i do you, e-rodents.

Your supposed answer is shallow and lacks substance. It portrays you as a bunch of chest beaters and noise makers, that only make noise while FGN is still and will keep messing with you. It shows you are bunch of slaves begging your masters to let you go.

Which oil is in alaigbo? All the oil in SE cannot fill a bucket.

Will it be IPOB vs Nigeria or IPOB vs Buhari.

See the graduates under the auspices of IPOB using ''match''.. for ''march'',

These are the kinds of jokers some people are wasting their energy, lives and time on.

Bunch of jokers

The OP just said what we have always known about this people.

Beremx:

Let me confess from the onset that I am not a fan of elder citizen Benjamin Nwabueze; a one-time Minister of Education; a supposed authority on constitutional law and prominent member of the so-called “patriots” and I doubt very much if I will ever be in my life time. I have no particular liking for any Nigerian individual, or politician, whose sole calling card, or platform of appeal, is never different from the primordial reality of their ethnic identities.

I dislike it even more when the same individuals refuse to change their ways, or primitive lines of thought, even after half a century since they first contrived to truncate our first democratic experience as a united nation with the military coup of January 15 1966.

As if afflicted with advanced forms of senility, these individuals, of which Nwabueze is easily the most prominent; repeatedly sneer at superior logic, facts, and the reality of rapidly unfolded events around the world in their unguarded commentaries on the polity. They reject the suggestion that their narrow ethno-centric perspectives on nation building have not only become stale, but are also largely irrelevant in what is required for the efficient governance of modern nation states and economic power blocks.

And when they speak; they can hardly conceal the preponderance the stone-aged illusion of the relevance of ethnic nationalities and how the theory in itself should be bedrock or foundation for any informed discourse on the direction of where our dear nation should be headed.

It was a theory which Nwabueze and his ilk desperately wanted to define during the tragic presidency of certain Goodluck Ebele Jonathan that almost set the nation on fire. Its essential strategy was the crude exploitation of our major fault lines for political capital. With the benefit of hindsight, it is perhaps not surprising that Ben Nwabueze was extremely close to the former president.

He even had the effrontery to attempt foisting a “draft constitution” he wrote in his bedroom down the throats of unsuspecting delegates irrationally cobbled together for Jonathan’s dubious Constitutional Conference. The joke, of course, was that he expected the Conference to return the same document which reflected his profoundly flawed views as the new constitution for the country.

But he failed. Just like he also failed in 1966. The nauseating truth about Nwabueze’s latter-day romance with the politics of ethic nationalism, is that way back in 1966, our history books indicate that he was a different political animal for predictable reason.

In 1966, soon after the top-most northern military-political leadership were eliminated by the Igbo-inspired military coup, Ben Nwabueze drafted the document which the late military Head of State General Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi relied upon to foist a unitary government on the nation, and in essence precipitated the series of events which culminated in the nation’s bloody Civil War from 1967 - 1970.

Suddenly, from enjoying their regional governments woke up one day to discover that they had lost their autonomies by executive fiat. The new arrangement cobbled all the regions together under the iron fist of a military government in which the Igbo were the most pre-eminent in the political and military leadership of the nation including the federal bureaucracy.

But the Unity Government was doomed from the onset because it was in reality an Animal Farm, which even Nwabueze would never had accepted or recognized if he was from the north, given his well-documented antecedents. Whereas the Eastern regional political and military leadership was largely untouched by the military putsch, the West, Mid-West and Northern regions lost key heavyweights and were clearly at a disadvantage. It was an infamy that could not stand and it didn’t.

Now, more than half a century later, it is still painfully obvious that Nwabueze’s intermittent interventions on national issues, including the interview he granted the Guardian newspaper last week in which he attempted to deconstruct the personality of president Muhammadu Buhari, has always been about the insatiable quest to enthrone and empower his particular interest group.

In normal situations, that is not entirely a bad thing to do. But where the same desire exposes certain prejudices and crude resentment against particular ethnic groups and the religion they practice the fundamental underpinnings of such agitations become very suspect.

In the interview I referred to for instance, Nwabueze not only scorned President Buhari’s anti-corruption stance, which he referred to as “make-believe”; he even questioned his educational qualifications in the same arrogant scepticism that has become typical of his creed, as well as his leadership credentials.

But it was his reference to the president as an Islamic fundamentalist that troubled me the most. In his opinion, the factors that way heavily against Buhari fulfilling his leadership obligations to the nation include “mainly his Islamization/Northernisation agenda, as manifested, for example, in his mandatory directive that Islamic books be made available in all secondary schools; and his pledge, in a speech at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria on May 2, 2015 to an exclusively Moslem gathering, to continue Sir Ahmadu Bello’s programme of fostering the idea of one Northern Nigeria, not One Nigeria.”

Two things are evident from the quote cited above. First, it failed to provide the context within which President Buahri did the things Nwabueze accused him of doing. Second, in case we did not know it before, the same quote removed whatever doubts we previously had that the man has always nursed a king-sized grudge against the Islamic religion which millions in the north practice, if not the entire region itself regardless of its religious composition.

Why, for instance, should Nwabueze be bothered that President Buhari, who was not even sworn into office at the time, gave a directive that Islamic books should be distributed in schools without even indicating the particular schools in question?

Were they Christian Missionary Schools? Was Buhari deliberately trying to convert student pupils to Islam? The so-called Professor of Law predictably allowed all those questions to hang and expects the ever gullible Nigerian public to embrace his narrative.

And; if I may also pose the question, is there any public school in the Southeast where Islamic education is part of the curriculum? In case the Professor does not know it; all the primary schools I attend from Kaduna, Kano and Sokoto were all run by Christian missionaries and I remain proud of the fact. In the mornings, we were all compelled to sing Christian hymns at the assembly grounds. The experience never diminished me as a person, or reduced my faith in my own religion. It was part of our learning curve!

And what is the nonsense about Buhari harping about a united Northern Nigerian with the context of our Federation? Under the government of President Jonathan which enjoyed the confidence of Nwabueze, regular meetings of the Southern Peoples Assembly was encouraged and heavily patronized. Heavens did not fall. Nwabueze did not infer that it was against the concept of a greater Nigeria at the time.

Neither did the quality of leadership in the country improve because the then President Goodluck Jonathan had a PhD! The notion of a direct correlation between higher academic qualifications and the quality of leadership is baloney. And no other Nigerian leader in our history proved that more than President Goodluck Jonathan.

Stripped of all its pretences therefore, most of the allegations against the president, in the interview Nwabueze granted last week were nothing but the jaundiced ranting of a frustrated old man who can see himself already at the departure lounge to the great beyond, with most of the dreams he nursed for the inordinate supremacy of his ethnic group in national affairs largely unfulfilled.

you definitely smoked iya chukwudi44's cheap weed today.

****gulping my kunnu and watching on.

Can you imagine the effect of an Oodua nation having access to these plethora of diverse and highly skilled diasporans?

Iranu Oshi!!

Have you ever seen me discussing party related politics with anyone of you? i don't do party politicking. I support the presumed best candidate that will most likely deliver good governance and dividends of democracy.

The matter on ground is cultural and not political.

Abeg abeg abeg, if someone got on your nerves, retrace your step from my doorstep.

WHy should others be part of the nation that takes its root name from only one ethnic group, out of all the members of the nation?

Will that not be a subtle colonisation and jettisoning of the identity of others.
