pazienza: This is not the point. The point is that GEJ was never voted in by 100% of the country, the Core North voted Buhari, and there after GEJ had the support of just the SE/SS, yet all his policies were equity based, he didn't single out those that didn't vote him and those that refused to support his government , he treated both his supporters and opponents equally, no 5% ish. https://www.nairaland.com/1826022/56-punch-list-president-goodluck-ebele
Pazienza with due respect that is a lie.
He said is own 95/5% in a different way by his statement of " Igbos/SE are the pillars of his govt".
This was well documented with all the appointment seen that were lopsided and nobody complained. People were simply waiting for him to give us good leadership and deliver on dividend of democracy and which he never did.
People rightly took a decision to boot him and his pillars out of government.
Jonathan does not have 3 projects he can point to that he did in SW. Yes he started the resurfacing of Lagos-Ibadan, but that was 2years to the expiration of his tenure and he never completed it.
pazienza: Did the core North not vote against GEJ in 2011, did Buhari not promise that monkeys and baboons will be soaked in Blood, did BH sponsored by the North pose big problem for GEJ, did the North and their Odua brothers not try to destabilize GEJ government when they all held the country to ransom rioting throughout the streets of Kano and Lagos demanding GEJ reverse fuel subsidy, with some of them suggesting that GEJ should step down, did they continue attacking GEJ government through their Lagos and Ibadan print media propaganda machines and through social media?
Did all that stop GEJ from not giving Arewa-Odua their entitlements, including infrastructures? Did he establish the 5% rule or did he ever tried to warm up to them? Did any Igbo political elite make a similar statement like Junaid towards the North?
Radio Biafra has been on Air since for over four years now, before them MASSOB has been there, the desire of Ndiigbo not to share the same country with Arewa-Odua people has remained constant since 1967, it never changed a bit, saying that Biafra agitation is tied to GEJ loss is a display of historical naivety from you and an insult to all proud Biafrans.
Please, mention 3 achievements of Jonathan in SW?
On holding him to ransome on subsidy removal, we're they not right after all. What happened to the part they removed? Some people sat down to loot it. If everything has also been removed, that is how we would have brought misery on ourselves in the name of making sacrifices for our country, whereas we are just created more funds for some people to steal.
xtrorse: You will still blame Igbos for your tribal marked, tiger-like, horrid looking faces; you child of slavery, disciple of propaganda!

I repeat descendant of cain, you greedy and ingratitude and lack of deep thinking acumen will always make you and your kinsmen the laughing stock of other ethnicities in this country.

A murderer will kill, a thief will steal from you, but you'll never know where you stand with a liar...
Despite the day light robbery by Awolowo and his co-travellers against Igbos, what has Yorubas achieved for Nigeria? Out of nepotism and tribalism only what Yorubas could present to Nigerians are bunch of embezzlers, fraudsters, squandermanias and above all the semi-slowpoke, illiterate and deranged morons. Name them - Obafemi barAWO, Grand Commander of Frustrated Robbers - OLEsegun Obj, MKO AbiOLE, Ernest ShOLEkan, Dimeji BankOLE, THIEF-nubu, FashOLE, Bode Rogue, JI-moh Ibhm; AkingbOLE's billions bank theft etc. These are the people these senseless tribalists hold in high esteem and even use any means to shove it down the throats of other people.
Bunch of pathological liars and treasury looters!
Day light robbery? What do slaves even have to be robbed of? NOTHING. You are nothing and you have nothing in this country. You are all procreating to make up the numbers and to keep serving us.
VIP landlord of Aro, why are you following the footsteps of your lineage by building a duplex inside the psychiatric ward nah?
Looters include the deluded Zik of his village, the shameless old f00l Ashibe, the coward Ojuiku, Orji Uzor Kalu, Shimaroke, Stealer Oduah, Okonjo, etc how is your brother, the kidnap kingpin Osikankwu and how far with your family biz of baby factory, how many heads of your neighbours children have you taken to okija.
Useless descendants of cain, criminal minded, fraud inclined and dubious greedy ingrates.
We are your lords and we shall continue to be till we have done with you, then we can release you. For now, keep lounging in your servitude to us.

What is this thing saying?
Is that how low your life is?
Ye mo great, I never knew I have been wasting my precious time on one useless low lifer that row with dregs of the society.
Omo irankiran carry your oriburuku forward and look for your fellow low lifers.
xtrorse: Unlike the empty brain, amala-stained, horrid looking, treacheerous, parasitic cowards beings from South West who steal and wreck every organization in this country, Igbos work hard, starting from the scratch with only £20 (for those of them who can provide physical evidence of their bank account) to become self made billionaires and now are on top. But that cannot be said about Yoruba billionares; most of them are known criminals and looters of state treasury, and hijackers of our oil wealth.
Yoruba - a disgruntled tribe of greedy, parasitic ingrates!
Stop regurgitating trash like an id1ot that you are.
We know igbos are very hard working in kidnapping baby factories, 419, looting, fake products l, fake drugs, drug trafficking, armed robbery, cannibalism and rituals.
Another lie of the Igbos. Show us one person that had money in the bank, with verifiable evidence, that was paid only £20, just one person.
The £20 was Amnesty Programme that all of you benefitted from, despite looting the banks and CBN branches.
patrick89: No vex Ooh are you a girl or half man? you lack decorum. you shout up and down You are yet to make sense. none of those houses is up to 1900 they were all built in 1970s when roofing with zinc was in invoke! but now that aluminium is the order of the day! you can not afford it! nobody is telling you to pull them down!Because you can not afford new one, just change the roofs! you can not afford it.
See this transgender.
Why should they be changed when they are still serving the purpose they were bought for?
We cannot afford new one and all your kinsmen will not stop running to our blessed region, companies are springing up here and there and Universities can't stop opening in our region. All that tells you we can afford anything and everything we want to do. We do not build a cursed house that is only inhabited in Christmas period alone.
xtrorse: Disgruntled tribe of slavery, child of slavery, descendant of a fallen demon, you are still weeping and wailing profusely on every available media with thick mucous dripping down your smelly noses as if your life sustenance is being deprived you!
Is your memory failing you or you're suffering from celebral palsy as to forget your Soka Evil Forest University of Cannibals and Ritual-killers, Ibadan, which you pride yourself as being 'sophisticated'? The blood and flesh of innocent people must be driving you insane.
Greedy, disgruntled treasury looter!
Conquered slaves of ours, 5th class citizen that are merely procreating for their lineage to keep serving us, how market?
Soka forest is a child's play beside Okija plus Ezzu river and Clifford Orji remains the Chairman of ritualists.
Y1bos remain the Greedy ingrates and looters -- Stealer Oduah readily comes to mind. They contribute nothing into the national purse and they are still looting the ones productive people are contributing. Shameless people.
xtrorse: You seem to be current, Yoruba land is indeed the world capital of Ritual-killers!
Parasitic descendants of a fallen demon!
Nahhhhhhh
Where is Okija, the capital of human head?
Where is Ezzu River, the river that flows with human body and not water?
The capital of all crimes in Nigeria was is and will forever the land of Biafra.
Y1bos are the parasitic ones that contribute nothing to Nigeria, apart from being economic saboteurs. Bunch of laughing stocks, descendants of the cursed cain.
xtrorse: Yea, even without Igbos doing anything, Yoruba people and their greedy leaders have constant night mares that they wake up each morning with epilepsy, convulsing terribly on every available media houses.
You shall be made to eat your words! If you doubt it, and you still believe you can retrieve Ilorin city from your Fulani slave-masters, enter the streets of Lagos and prove yourselves. Just this once... It is no threat!
No one have any fear of who is down and out. Igbos were conquered and they are down and out in this country. They can only keep ranting and there is nothing until when we, your masters and lords free you from your servitude to us.
I repeat, recover your hijacked properties from minority ethnicities, rename your streets they renamed, as well as your obigbo. Shows how bunch of chest beating noise making never do wells you all are, if a mere minority did all that and got away with it.
patrick89: No the ijebu have told you times without number that they are not from yoruba, but from sudan! Aworis have warned you leeches to stay clear from their land! even modakeke and ife are always slaughtering themselves...

I have successfully disprove your lies, I do not have time for making of lists with a toddler. You know if I spool out igbos and their criminality, it will run to nothing less than 100 pages.
Mission accomplished. Tell your uncles that lied to you about their false heroics that all what they told you were lies and it has been successfully debunked on NL.
patrick89: Criminality must be autosomal and sex linked in yoruba land. Awolowo changed currency immediately and therefore instructed that we all should but our monies in the bank, and we did, my parent took all they had and people contributed from all other clans and gave to business men in our village, only for them to come back with 20 pounds!. You are making less sense! there was CBB central bank of Biafra, we had currency then! our currency was pounds! so you are just making fool of yourself as expected from yoruba. You hurriedly indigenise all the foreign companies and used the money to build all the rusted roof building scattered in odualand!
I want you to answer this, why is that the old rusted huts outnumber the little Modern one? answer that..
You are daftness is tending towards a legendary status.
Awolowo changed the currency from Nigerian Pound to Naira. Fact. How does that put anyone at disadvantage, in as much as you have genuine Nigerian Pound?
Or you were expecting us to recognise your Biafra Pounds and convert it to Naira for you? How stup1d can you be? Who says you could not have decided to print 1million Biafra pounds each for your citizens? Your Biafra Pound was not recognised even in countries that were your allies - Gabon and Ivory Coast, how much more Naija?
If I say you are dumbo, it will be an other statement. Yorubaland is not igboland that never had towns. our houses with brown roofs are not a product of indigenisation but an history of evolution of people that have been building empires and kingdoms from time immemorial.
Who stooped Ibos from indigenising the companies on their soil? Sorry you never had any!!! Therefore you wanted to profit where you never invested. Ole.
To answer your daft question, yorubas are not like y1bos they could not evolve enough to build kingdoms and empires. We have built our settlements for nothing less than 500years and we do not demolish them, to protect our heritage and history. The houses built in 1900 and 2000 were built next to those UN World Heritage buildings and up till date. Therefore we have a complete history of our ancestors and several generations. The buildings of now are writing the history of this generation for generations to come.
That is what Igbos can never have the luxury of because they do not have the land, their land is a land of red mud and gully eroded.
xtrorse: A coward is not the man who stands up for his people and took precautions to preserve his life like Washington, Gaulle and Ojukwu but the Yoruba General Oladipo Diya who wept like a kid before a junior officer because he was afraid of his life....after wilfully and knowingly plotting a coup. This disgraceful display of cowardice portray your arrogant and parasitic tribe.
Yorubas started June 12 trouble with their Odua Islamic Republic in mind and were expecting Igbos to fight their wars; Ralph Obioha and Bobo Nwosisi were the only people around your Field Marshall of Odua Kingdom, AareOnaKakanfo MKO Abiola when he declared himself president-elect. The arrogant and cowardly tribe couldn't even protect him from being whisked away like a common thief. He was eventually slaughtered like a salah ram.
Apart from talking like parrots and embezzling public funds, what else are Yaribanza people good at - ritual-killings, office charms, tribalism, nepotism, falsehood, noise-making and propaganda?
A coward is a sissy and cradle robber that wore mini skirt, spaghetti strap, high heel, applied mascara and lipstick before Usain Bolting to Abidjan, after sacrificing 3million miserable lives to Amadioha for fun. To some daft souls, they still called that bravery.
Shows us were we called for Odua Republic over June 12 or forever shut up. However, we grounded the country for 6years, ensured economic blockade and sanctions on this country, pressurised Babangida to ran out of Aso Rock, ensured Abacha died there, Abubakar handed over to one of us by compulsion, military were sent packing and we demystified the northern oligarchy. All these with minimal loss of lives . Can that be said of the failed and pathetic Biafra mirage?
What is the contribution of the parasitic y1bos to this country apart from killing the leaders of other regions, declaring war on the country, we wasted our amnesty programme of £20 on them, their call for Biafra, otokoto, Clifford Orji saga, olive shrine, ezzu river filled of floating human being rather than water, hotel that serves human parts as meat, fake products, fake drugs, armed robbery, kidnapping, prostitution, baby factory, distracting Nigeria at international level etx.
Really sux.ks to be one of these greedy in grates feom.the eroded land of the dawning sun.
xtrorse: This is a free world in which you are entitled to freedom of association. So, the loudmouthed Yorubas are free to merge themselves with Bini, Urhobo, Itsekiri and any other interested ethnic group. With such formidable footsoldiers Yorubas can summon up enough courage to engage the Fulanis in the suicidal attempt to reclaim Ilorin and install an Oba! Good luck, if you come back alive!
And get this into your ewedu soup brain, Igbos are no cowards, and therefore do no harbour traitors, treacherous and parasitic ingrates! If you doubt it, enter the streets of Lagos and prove yourselves. Just this once...
Read up on Jalumi war and you will see that we do not need the help of anybody. Hey, Kogi warriors are busy pillaging your land, face it. Better still recover your hijacked abandoned properties and rename your town Obigbo that was renamed.
Igbos are not cowards, they merely reason with their chests and not their brains. I have told the world who the ingrates and parasites are.
How were we treacherous? Are you not daft and stup1d enough to place your destiny in the hands of another. Did we even ever had any pact or agreement with you? So what is the basis of the treachery? Our forefathers and fathers were never in contact you and neither do we have any relationship with natural born losers.
Nyamiri from the land of red mud, we shall continue to disprove all your lies and false heroics of your uncles on NL, till you learn.
xtrorse: Yorubas are born liars and propagandists, who are programmed to hate by default. They are capable of criticising and lying about everything, even their tribal-marked, tiger-like horrid faces.
Bunch of greedy, parasitic ingrates!
Ingrates are people that we bailed out their miserable lives with our amnesty programme of £20, despite not having any money in the bank, despite looting banks and CBNs and despite not having work for FG for 3years.
Greedy lots are people that call our forefathers land a no man's land. What were their forefathers doing when ours were busy conquering land and establish Kingdom and empire, if not dancing round a pot of boiling human being and fighting over Adaobi's hand in marriage in their hamlet squares.
Parasites are people that contributes nothing to the GDP of the country, rather they are economic saboteurs that import toothpick and fake products into the country and depreciating our FX. They are people that migrate to other regions like ants, thereby putting pressure on the social amenities of those places they are migrating to.
Liars are people that their uncles told them they had money in the bank when FG Gave them £20.
Propagandists are people that claimed they were conquered by world power and they kept on blaming Awoke, Muritala and Adekunle for their resounding defeat and their massacre to Amadioha.
These category of people are no other person than y1bos.
patrick89: hei just get out of brothers squabble you have no say here! deal with bush men from ekiti, or ijebu sudanes or the modakeke and ife etnic cleansing..
Which brothers?
Your brothers are Aguleri vs Umuleri or the Ikewerres and various ethnicities you want to do attache by force with, that are dissociating themselves from you and your forefathers that could not build a village talk less of an empire.
patrick89: This is not NURTW tussle! did you read that article properly? Ewedu dull brain is really a curse coupled with ferrous trioxide effect! 1. The firts article is talking about post war events, it clearly painted the pictures of how igbos dominated everything before the war, the article also cited how white preferred igbos to cat faces. and you are here rambling position by your leaders... na today nyash dey back? your lies have been busted several times. oluyole sophisticated illusionist. 2. An average igbo boy has opportunity to visit 25 states before he attains 25 years #fact! we are adventurous, we go to places, we are not sedentary like oluyole Owo da brought up.. 3. All you listed are going on in insurance companies, why do we still have that sector relegated like pompey?
Ranting up and down while their mouth are apologetically jar!
Flat.head from the land of bleaching yellow pawpaws, it is normal for a y1bo boy to travel to several states before he is 25 because
1. He is a descendant of cursed cain
2. He is looking for greener pastures that does not exist in his region.
3. His business can never thrive in his gully eroded region
4. His region is already desolate and deserted anyway.
B. Oyinbos prefer the Igbos and the same oyinbos described you as a bunch of uncivilised recalcitrant cannibals, dancing round a pot of boiling human being.
That says it all.
C. All those are going on in the insurance industry and I stand by it. If such are not being done in your region, that clearly shows you are still in medieval ages in alaigbo. Is insurance sector at par with Banking in Nigeria? No. Is it better than 10years? It is much more better. So park well.
Shut your odoriferous akpu filled buccal cavity, if you lack the acumen to present your position logically with your vestigial brain
patrick89: look, we I have heard enough of this rumor! of the attack by the biafra soldiers. now I want to get it very clear from you, what really happened? and how did okirika that suppose to fight for biafra were attacked by biafran soldiers? I don't understand this irony.. the fight suppose to be towards nigeria territory, so how did they turn back to okirika, ikwere and ijaw, I want you to come up with a very unbiased view.. this matter should have been the responsibility of our forefathers, and not us!
Yoruba took everything we had did igbo took all okirika had? infact tell me your own story. I suspect someone is obviously behind this distortion.
Explain to me what the king meant by sayin that south south are natural ally to the north. Why did okirika and at what point idid okirika became a natural ally.... make it clear to me #waiting#
Please tell us how yorubas took everything you had, Mr Liar?
The fact is a yoruba man gave you Amnesty Programme of £20 (equivalent of 500k of today) to jump start your miserable lives that you ruined with your futile war expedition, despite the fact that you looted the banks in Biafra, looted all the CBN branches in Benin, Calabar, Enugu and PH and you never worked for FG for 3years.
xtrorse: That was how Yorubas were brandishing frivolous statistics scoring Osun State with high GDP on paper, and at the end of the day the State have gone bankrupt, with hunger ravaging her citizens who have not been paid their 7 months salaries!
Child of hatred, treacheery and bitterness, you can have a read:
Poverty Rate in Nigeria
North West = 71.2% North East = 72.2% North Central = 67% South West = 43% South South = 36.1% South East = 26.7%
While the South West people (Yorubas) are busy fabricating lies, distorting and rewriting history, fanning the embers of hatred, bitterness, tribalism and nepotism, just to gain undue advantage over Igbos, the Igbos are busy developing their South East region and taking the lead in every sector of the country.
How can SE has the lowest poverty and all of you are trooping out of your region like ants, your region is in despicable situation?
That must be the 8th wonder of the world.
Yeye dey smell.
I never knew NL is now a source material for facts.
The fact that is undeniable remains SW has the lowest poverty in Nigeria. That explains why institutions, businesses, corporate entities are springing up daily in their hoods, because they have the middle class to sustain businesses.
HopeAtHand: The Igbos can talk about facts because the BBC and other foreign press sent their correspondents to cover the battle in company of Federal forces, there was little to report from the biafran side.
Our facts comes from the lips of our parents and the city of Port Harcourt and its abandoned properties tell its own version of a story told in lopsided fashion by Igbos.
The atrocities of Biafraudsters on minorities are well documented in Cross River and Rivers.
They practically became the lords of all the minorities. No wonder those ones turned against then to support the Federal Army and to declare their properties abandoned
xtrorse: Loud mouthed, treacheerous being - a descendant of a fallen demon, weeping and wailing in perpetuity on account of the unavoidable, impending doom!
Ever wandering Descendants of Cain from the land of gully erosion, land of Biafra and land of the dawning sun.
patrick89: some of you are incorrigible! Education a typical yoruba tout tha has dealt his brain with rusted zinc! 1.The money transfer took place in 1972 , nobody is talking about preswar event! typical yoruba logicl, what do you expect from oil coagulated brain coupled with rusted zinc effect. 2. Tell us more about your building, show me the new siite where the new building is springing up in yoruba land, compare them with old buildings you will find it very disgraceful that situation is very deplorable. But what d you expect from yoruba that like lying with figures! to massage your backwardness... 3. I'm taking you directly on insurance vs trading! Yorubas have useless that sector to a looting avenue.. what contribution does insurhave on the economy relative to Trading.
You are just an unrepentant akpu-filled brain nyamiri.
1. How can you not figure out I was talking of pre-war events and actions taken strategically by our fathers that positioned us well enough to harness the opportunities of the 1972? Never mind, Ariara Market graduate.
2. A visit to SW will convince you. No wonder your kinsmen keep trooping to the same yorubaland like ants. We are not empty barrel chest beaters that make noise over nothing.
3. Insurance companies are dead and banking transactions are being insured compulsorily, individuals are buying insurance policies on a daily basis and cars are still being insured. You must be a clown.
xtrorse: Just at the mere mention of Biaf...Yorubas would shout, cry, weep, wail, yell, curse and make much noise on every available media with thick mucous dripping down their smelly noses as if their whole essence in life is being taken away from them!
Bunch of treacherous, greedy, parasitic ingrates who take pleasure in looting the treasury with reckless abandon!

xtrorse: "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt: '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407 ." ''... Paul Anber's source was the Annual Abstract of Statistics ( Federal Office of Statistics, Lagos, 1965)
patrick89: Born liars!! British destroyed everything in the East the only companies left were all in South west, and none were owned by you! during the indigenisation by awo, igbos didn't participate #fact. I was told that everybody in our village gathered money and gave only man that has bank account only for the man to come back with 20£ that's the highest form of criminality. And at the same time, you expect them to buy shares.
How come most of the buildings standing in Yoruba land were built by that period. Those rusted red zincs scattered South West were all built during those time.. The number of modern houses in SW have not outnumber the old rusted zinc ones.. #undilutedfact#
where are those companies today? insurance company dominated by yoruba is a criminal organisation! it has been run down by incompetent yoruba people! tell me trading and insurance which one is more viable? let's put this things to bare! enough of your lies....
These igbo liars keeping getting more daft on daily basis.
1. Your village people donated their monies to someone to be kept in the bank. Which bank and in which town? If it was in your land of Biafra, who looted the bank? Is it not the same biafraudsters? It will definitely be a branch of the bank in Biafra because your village is in Biafra. Have you accounted for the millions your fathers and uncles looted from the CBN in Benin, PH, Calabar and Enugu?
2. It seems you believe the whole world is like alaigbo that always have to demolish to make room for new structures. Most yoruba settlements have been existing for nothing less than 400years. Therefore, most old houses are always in the core centre of the settlements, with newer structures always surfacing on the outer layer from generation to generations. Those old houses tell the story of each family, the genealogy of each individual, the literature of the ancestors of each family. That is why yoruba history is too rich and the culture is too strong. No wonder we already have it well established in Latin America.
Alaigbo can never have that luxury because 1. you do not have land for it. 2. half of your land is gully eroded 3. another half of the remaining land in alaigbo is full of laterite ie red mud.
3. it ois normal for companies to die. Companies die all over the world, There is no fuss about that. What we are particular about is who is controlling the surviving ones. Still the same yorubas. Face your 2by2inches shop business and gala sales in traffic (pakistanis of Nigeria)and leave us on our domination of corporate world.
