There are always two sides of a story. This man was accused of receiving bribes in order to switch allegiance to the Nigerian side.

Politics / Re: South-south Group Rejects Biafra by Sweetguy25: 12:58pm On Jun 16, 2017

“It is on the record that, in the year 1966, the Igbos derailed the first democratically elected government through a coup led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu in an attempt to suppress Nigeria and Nigerians.
“The Igbos’ domineering tendencies they attempted on Nigeria in 1966 that could not be achieved are now tilted towards the South-South geo-political zone which is totally not acceptable.

But Nzeogwu is a south south man na?

Why are these people so stupid?

If Nigeria splits today, millions of people in southern Nigeria will be lifted out of poverty.
As at today, Nigeria is in a poverty trap. A trap we can't get out from even in the next fifty years.

By the way, if Nigeria splits today, the country called Nigeria will cease to exist.

Majority of Nigerians are poor and not well educated. Majority of Nigerians don't have access to basic infrastructure.

The unity of Nigeria is non negotiable because of oil cash flow.

fratermathy:


There is no other ethnic group in the South that has widespread support for Biafra other than Igbos. Leave facts as facts. The number of SSners supporting Biafra is no more or less than Yorubas or Hausas supporting Biafra and they do this at a strictly personal level. Many groups in the SS have officially denounced Biafra and the inclusion of their sovereign territories into the Biafran map without their permission.

Don't project a mini-Nigeria all in a bid to get access to the sea.

Aren't there Igbos in the south south?

Nigeriadondie:

Nigeria does not and has never and will never have a future not to talk of bright future.
As for Biafra, many of the problems in Nigeria would still exist in Biafra. Igbo apart from their good side as hard working, very educated and industrious are known to be quite divided. You will see another form of trablism within same tribe when u will hear some one say he is from Obowo, Arochukwu, Idemili so u re not my brother. In his book written about d civil war, Gen Alexander Madiebo(rtd) pointed some nepotistic practices which hampered d war effort.
If the igbo elite cannot serve the interest of Igbos in a divided Nigeria then would that be attainable in a "united Biafra"? What have the igbo ruling class done with the resources for d benefit of all apart from enriching themselves with no meaningful development in d east yet they cry marginalization. Most igbos see Biafra as one Eldorado or promised land where all their problem would evaporate away and all will be well. This I doubt cos of the greed of an average black man who doesn't believe in an egalitarian society but wants to shine alone at d expense of others so he could be "worshipped".It is one of the many reasons no black nation on earth is progressive. I start to feel it has to do with skin color. Even Uganda and Zimbabwe used to be rich nations but with d expulsion of whites and other Asians everything crumbled away.
Gabon and Equitorial Guinea with their huge oil wealth is no match with Qatar. So I fear if Biafra may not end up like South Sudan.
I agree with d video link below to support my point.

I am Igbo and I ve lived in d east for about a decade and based my opinion on my knowledge and experiences during my stay in the east

Of course, this is bound to happen but one thing is certain, it will be easier to renegotiate or identify and solve our problems than it would it have been in Nigeria.

The argument that the Igbo elite are not serving the interest of Igbos is true but its a Nigerian problem. Igbos even have it better when they are compared with minority tribes in the Niger Delta. What will you say about the Niger delta elite or their leaders? Niger Deltans are the most marginalized bunch in Africa, the resources inherent in their land can turn their fortunes around within the twinkle of an eye but what is their current situation? What about the northern elite - are the northern elite better than the Igbo elite? What of the yoruba elite - are they any better?

I believe with all my heart, that if Igbos with all the lessons they have learned from been Nigerians, form their own country, and work hard to make it great, the country will be great. We have the capacity to do so. It would be difficult, but whats more difficult than fighting a war backed by imperialists for three years?

I am happy you acknowledged that Nigeria will never progress and as long my fellow Igbo people stay in Nigeria and remain Nigerians, we will also not progress.

Politics / Re: Biafra Vs Arewa Face Off: The Five Major Issues We Must Not Fail To Understand by Sweetguy25: 10:57pm On Jun 13, 2017
You made very salient points but they aren't strong enough reasons as to why Nigeria should currently be run this way - And I mean this structure of government that generates hatred, poverty, strife, inequality, anger, insecurity and other anti-societal issues.

Honestly, This New Biafran agitation generates mixed feelings among young Igbos like me (especially educated youth) and the reason for this is the uncertainty. There is uncertainty in the Biafran project and there is greater uncertainty in the Nigerian project.

The uncertainty in the Nigerian project is highly visible. Nobody can predict the future of Nigeria even in the short term. If you meet President Osibanjo today and ask him what Nigeria will look like in the next 5 years, he can't give you a clear or accurate answer. Boko haram, militancy, widespread unemployment and poverty, persistent secessionist agitations etc... These are problems we didn't expect to happen in 1999 but they are realities now and nobody now when these problems will end. In fact, based on current realities, these problems will persist in years to come.

There is also that uncertainty about the Biafran project especially with regards to how it is being planned by its agitators. The truth is I love the idea of my ethnic people having their own country (and majority of Igbos do too) but the problems associated with secession and forming a strong viable nation generates serious thoughts against the idea.

However, I am more optimistic about a Biafran or an Igbo nation project than the current Nigerian project.

Nigeria as it is currently structured is stagnant. We have not made any progress since we gained independence 57 years ago.
- There have been no improvements in the way the different ethnic groups and tribes relate with one another.
- There have been no improvement in overall infrastructure provision to the public
- No improvement towards the economic well being of majority of the nigerian public.

We have not made any progress in 57 years, how are we going to start now?
I have taken a deep look and analysis of this country called Nigeria and I can boldly say that Nigeria does not have a bright future. I can defend my position with objective reasons and facts.

This man and his mercurial ass licking. Abiola would have done this, he would have done that. Is that not the same thing that was said of Buhari?

Besides, the Buhari you all support and voted as president was a close associate of Abacha and worked for the Abacha government.

Lastly, it is unfortunate to see that we can't generate opionions without adding ethnic colorations to them.

And by the way 30 billion naira is not 20 million USD.


30 billion naira is actually 90 million dollars. With 90 million dollars, you can buy a private jet and maintain it for years, which is something Davido would obviously do if he had 90 million dollars.

Davido does not have even a quarter of 30 billion.

lol.. I find it very hilarious, or should I say ridiculous that people are debating whether Davido actually has the 30b.
If you know how many 'regular' guys on the Island or in Abuja who have probably more than a billion alone sef, in assets and cash (Now the source is not the bone of contention here), then it's ridiculous to find it impossible to believe Davido's statement, looking at the kind of background he's coming from.
I mean, isn't it the same Nigeria that someone hid millions of dollars in a hut? lol.

Nothing should be surprising anymore these days.

These guys just live flashy lifestyles. They are not that rich. FACT. Have you seen this statistic from the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation?

2% of Nigerians own 90% bank deposits — NDIC
