[s]Nzeogwu a fine soldier-gentleman!

He saw Nigeria for it was and what it will become and he took necessary actions!

Even though I am yoruba,
Nzeogwu did well
He did nothing wrong!

Those that should be blamed for the coup are leaders that were and are still corrupt till date!

I have immense respect for Kaduna, we dont have such fine soldiers anymore! What a pity[/s]

A murderer did nothing wrong?

Tranquillity360:
Any propaganda against Ipob,they rush and push to front page but those in favour of Ipob will never reach front page.




What you have here are bias moderator working for evil government.





Open a thread and say good thing about Ipob and Biafra,they will rush and delete it.But open a thread and talk anything against ipob and Biafra.Accuse them of any evil without evidence,the evil mod will leave the thread running.

There's nothing good about IPOB they are terrorists simple

Northernblood:
I stand with Nnamdi Kanu but, these criminals/Cannibals must be wiped out of Igbo land. They don't belong here

You stand with a terrorist?

paramakina202:
He will be eliminated before referendum is granted.
He is dangerous and unhinged to have absolute power.

Yes. A referendum can only come after a political process and not by the use of terrorism. IPOB need to colase into a genuine political party and work within the system to convince other Nigerians on the benefits of letting the south east go. Any other means can only result in violence and bloodshed

paramakina202:
They are working for Nnamdi Kanu who is no1 enemy of Igbo land in collaboration with other Igbo enemies to ruin Igbos and Igboland both politically,economically,socially,culturally and religiously.If Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB is allowed to have their way Somalia will be paradise to compare with Igboland.

Even if Nigeria were to grant ibos a referendum we will never allow a dangerous lunatic like Kanu come to power in biafra just a stione throw from our borders. The terrorist could just wake up one morning and declare war on us just because his wife upset him the previous night

Danjikanbauchi:
wallahi IPOB are smarter than all Yoruba leaders including Obasanjo, Osibanjo and Tinubu put together

you this ibo boy always talking trash from the comfort of your base in Bauchi. I challenge you to go home for the Christmas celebrations and see if those IPOB terrorists will spare you

nkemoma:
Mugu kawai

Dan akuya kawai

CaptainAyub:
Did IPOB yewts snatch your girlfriend or buy your father's house and made you a tenant?
IPOB is about Igbo ppl leaving Nigeria,why do you have a problem with them?

IPOB are a terrorist organization that murdered hundreds of Nigerian security agents and innocent civilians too. We will continue to support our government's efforts in crushing them until they are totally wiped off the face of the Earth

nkemoma:
I am now convinced!

You

SIR

Ad you sir are an IPOB terrorist. We will kill Nnamdi Kanu very soon

AllahIsSatan:
Does he have a PhD in Medicine like my father? Or is he a bushman like yours?

Let's talk about PhDs. Do you have one?

CaptainAyub:
Funny enough, you just spoke like a terrorist
Are you a follower of Allah?

Nope I just hate Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB with a passion and I don't submit to Allah nor hate his followers either

We will kill you bastard IPOB terrorists before you get a referendum

Me my own is just that my former roommate at Airfoce Military school Jos who is currently Buhari:s ADC

chatinent:
I think the main person who needs to be given anything is the beggar rather than the other rich beggar who uses subtle means to extort it from you with the threat of you roasting in hell fire as a spirit when you die.

Do not pastors tell you to ask God for protection and guidance while they themselves use security personnel after your tithes and offerings have accumulated billions upon billions for them?

You give your tithes and offerings in secret but they tweet their giveback to the world...that is if they even give because last time I checked, they tell you to pray to God for your needs.

They are always telling you God told them to do this and do that...however, every pastor says different things “from God.”

They preach prosperity! Jesus preached God's Kingdom.

Before you intend arguing with me, explain to me what rashidi yekeni yamaha Kawa totoyota susuki means.

With the number of churches in Nigeria alone, one would think it is the most peaceful region. You can see up to twelve different churches in a two storey in Nigeria shouting differently and you are wondering why they will not tell you it is God that called them? Simply! You are vulnerable to be deceived when you hear God! The format has enriched many billionaires of the world!

You will see them hampering on offering from the “old testament” yet leaving Paul's account on voluntary giving?

Brothers,

They give you what you want to hear: miracles magic, fake testimonies, and “God says” since it brings quick responses.

Some of their fleet of cars, and private jets can feed the whole country for years. I mean three-square meals.

Ever wondered why every pastor you can think of is a billionaire? Simple! You pray to God for money and give to them who thank God for bringing people like you!

You, yes you, you respect your pastor even more than the God you claim to serve. The only respect you have for him is writing the “G” in capital letters!

I promise you, I won't respond to you.

I wanted to answer the questioner but you said it all and no you don't have to respond

Of course oyedepo's place is in the hottest part of hell along with Adeboye and that other guy

EzegeNdiigbo:
Yahoo President..
shey you're back in Aso rock??

Eze ibo shut up your opinion is worthless

AlexBells:
I just love Kaduna Nzeogwu
1. He didnt drink alcohol
2. He was an ardent Catholic
3. He prayed a lot
4. He didn't quite have a girlfriend
5. He didn't speak much
6. He was principled, believed in courage, honour and dignity
7. He died fighting

He sure did make some mistakes but my love for him remains unshaken, if I'm in a bus trip with Nzeogwu let's say we would travel to Kaduna together, that would be like a dream come true, I really wish it happened in an alternate universe and it would be March 1966,

I would ask him loads of questions like how he felt the night before the coup, many things to really ask, seriously, I honestly wished Nzeogwu avoided the war, I want to ask him why he fought with Biafra despite being from Midwest, I know Nzeogwu was long dead before he died, he really felt he caused the war, I try to understand he must be depressed at some point along the line.

He was a murderer and a failure. His actions cost the lives of millions of Nigerians that still haunt us till this day. He can rot in hell

donprinyo:
chicken brain. read previous messages

ibo brain I think I'll do just that

donprinyo:
every tribe does.

And that's justification for ibos to do it too?

We Nigerians declare him a terrorist

donprinyo:
Now they want to claim this one. Igbos simply hate hard drugs and other things that can denigrate our culture. its not part of us and can never be.

But selling hard drugs in Asia is a part of your culture abi?

[quote author=Odewaleadesoye post=108562359][/quote]You made the mistake of following due payment process. I mean don't you know how corrupt those immigration officials are? I applied for mine at their Abuja office and got it in 48 hours but I made the payent into a private account

Cannibalistic IPOB terrorists feeding on the flesh of their fellow ibos and these are the guys who will run Biafra? Nonsense!

IPIGSRDOTARDS:
Na so

It's not that easy to get rid of drugs especially methamphetamine. Even if you get rid of the dealers, new ones will just move in.
Crystal meth makes Satan looks like a saint. The shit has destroyed so many lives even in the US midwest, they can't control it.
Good luck

You might be right but at least acknowledge their efforts to do something about it however misplaced the approach may be. It's better to do something wrong than do nothing at all

You can't give ultimatums to drug addicts cos it just won't work. What is needed is a well thought out strategy to rehabilitate the addicts and kick the dealers out.

psucc:
As if he is God. One day, sooner or later the reality will dawn on him - Nigeria will disintegrate.

Not in your lifetime

Africonji:
Obaseki, you are a very big fool for saying this. A very big idiot. Nigeria has expired, and you are part of the problem. This contraption needs to end so that the human potentials of the South can be unleashed without Fulani and their backward interruptions. Biafra or death.

Well we don't have Biafra to give you but we most certainly have death for you. It's your choice

Fejoku:
Your foolishness is irredeemable. There's no single terrorist act accredited to IPOB or ESN. We have been protesting in accordance to international practices but were met with live bullets. Hundreds of our members were killed in cold blood of which we took the cases to the ICJ. We didn't take up any arms and continued to endure the humiliation. If you have forgot about the various episodes of operations python dance, we have not. Our restraint is what you guys mistook for lack of will when you urged your terrorist fulani herdsmen to invade our land. You don't expect us to fold our arms and allow them desecrate further the land of our ancestors. This is the reason behind the formation of ESN. They did a fantastic job in kicking the ass of the fulani demons which didn't go down well with your terrorist army. They now decided to come after the ESN so to clear the way for their herdsmen. Unknown to them, our resolve to protect our land is from any invader whether fulani terrorist herdsmen or the ones under the cover of the Nigerian army. The rest they say is history. What gives you the effontery to accuse us of terrorism? Is it because we went contrary to your permutations? Get this very clearly. You terrorist fulanis must vacate our land by force. All the false narrative you're planting on the media against us we amount to nought because the international community know better.
Death to Nigeria.

Everything you wrote up here is rubbish. I didn't even bother reading beyond the first sentence Death to Nigeria? Death to you too. We'll see who will win this war

Fejoku:
Majority of the posters on this thread are fulanis from the north. Their region is burning but they are more concerned with the situation in the SE. One would think all these calls is done for the good of the people of the SE but we all know it isn't. We know they don't love us and we don't love them too. We've been calling for the division of Nigeria but they've refused. What does it tell you about them? They hate truth and peace. They love lies and chaos. Divide Nigeria so every group of people can mind their businesses in their own territory. Isn't it very simple?
Death to Nigeria.

And so you resort to terrorism to blackmail the rest of the country into giving you Biafra? It's a very dumb and stupid strategy considering the fact that boko haram used it for over 10 years without success. If you are truly serious about leaving Nigeria you will go back to the drawing table, work through the political process and elect leaders to advocate your case at the federal level. You don't expect to be voting one Nigeria politicians with the hope that they would speak up for your cause once in office

To leave one’s country for another is a usual part of life in today’s world. However, some Nigerians often make news headline for trying to do exactly that. For instance, a 14 year old boy was recently reported to have landed in Spain atop a cargo ship from Lagos. There was also the news about a group of Nigerians who, having been repatriated from Libya, are planning to leave again.

We have become desensitized to the news of illegal Nigerian migrants arriving in Italy on boats and of young Nigerians (or Africans) journeying through the Sahara desert in search of greener pastures in Europe. Interestingly, it is not only poor and uneducated Nigerians who are bent on leaving their country. According to a report on Al Jazeera, wealthy Nigerians are also buying citizenship in places such as Malta and the Caribbean. But the group of Nigerians leaving the country at an alarmingly high rate are young professionals seeking better career opportunities.

For example, as of 2018, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria reported that there were 72,000 nationally registered Nigerian doctors but only 35,000 practicing in the country. This is also the trend in academia, IT, and financial services among other professions. Data published by the Canadian government in 2019 reveals that the number of Nigerians issued permanent residency there tripled since 2015. In fact, in 2019 alone, more than 12,000 Nigerians emigrated to Canada. Other popular migratory destinations for Nigerians include the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Germany, and South Africa. Beyond the question of brain drain (which the Nigerian government seems nonchalant about), this mass exodus of Nigerians of all classes invites more reflection on the Nigerian spirit and dream. Is there even a molecule of nationalism left among the Nigerian populace? Are Nigerians still invested in, or protective of, the sanctity of the idea of the nation-state?

While other nations dream of economic equality and happiness for their citizens, the Nigerian dream seems to be anchored in the desire to emigrate. The PEW Research Center published a 2019 study that shows that 45% of Nigerian adults plan to leave the country in the next five years.

The most widely read contemporary Nigerian literary works are those that deal with the experiences of Nigerian migrants. For example, Chimamanda Adichie’s Americanah, a novel that got its title from the honorific given to Nigerians who live or have lived abroad (especially the US). Nollywood, Nigeria’s elephantine movie industry, also makes a lot of profit selling these emigratory aspirations to Nigerians. Recently, the famous and controversial Nigerian musician, Naira Marley, released a song titled Japa (a Yoruba word for “abscond”), which touches on the issue of emigration. The title of song has now been appropriated as a slang among young Nigerians nursing migratory dreams. There is even a book titled Japa, which purportedly provides guidance for Nigerians who want to emigrate within six months. There is another Nigerian song that went viral precisely because the singer, Bembe Aladisa, begs white people for a visa in the lyrics of the song.

In Nigeria, to be an emigrant is to possess illustrious social capital and a badge of honor that is not only reserved for you, but also for your family. In Nigeria, churches and mosques organize fasting and prayers for people applying for visas. Visa application is a very lucrative business in a place like Lagos and people often get defrauded because of their desperation to get obtain one. Nigerians have created a hierarchy of respectability that hinges on people’s migratory status. Some Nigerians even consider migratory prospects when choosing a marital partner. Nigerian schools and other institutions now take pride in preparing young Nigerians to compete abroad. Even the Nigerian government tends to recognize the achievements of Nigerians abroad more than Nigerians at home. The reason for this, Ima Jackson-Obot notes, is partly because “the economic future of Nigeria and the success of Nigerians abroad are closely tied.” The Nigerian economy relies, significantly, on remittances from Nigerians in the diaspora. According to the Outlook for Remittance Flows 2012-14, Nigeria is the seventh biggest recipient of money remitted to the home country by her citizens living abroad.

Aspirations to emigrate have become a Nigerian ideal. The desire to leave Nigeria is now entrenched in the Nigerian psyche. Many of us live to leave, and the essence of our “Nigerianness” finds expression in our ability to emigrate. Most young Nigerians desperately pursue the promise of a better life outside of the country, even through illegal means. It does not matter if the migratory destination is a neighboring country. What matters is that you are “in the abroad” as Nigerians like to say.

On the one hand, people leave because of their disillusionment with the Nigerian state. The collapse of public service, the rise of ethnocentric politics, and corruption have all contributed to a disintegration of the national ethos. The majority of Nigerians no longer rely on the government for basic amenities such as water, electricity, security, and medical care. Also, due to the high rate of unemployment, poverty, collapsed infrastructure and police brutality, the Nigerian government struggles to prove its legitimacy and credibility to its citizenry. Many Nigerians feel excluded from the country’s cartography of belonging and are unable to imagine a habitable future for themselves there. Hence, despite the travel restrictions brought about by COVID-19, thousands of Nigerians are still leaving the country.

On the other hand, contrary to the belief that emigration is only a recent development in Nigeria, statistics show that Nigerians have been emigrating even before independence. The only difference, in my opinion, is that there are more desperate and irregular movements now than in the past. What this suggests is that emigration has always been part of the Nigerian essence. It is what feeds the spirit of “Naija-politanism” as well as the performance of mobile nationalism by Nigerians. Also, emigration has always been behind the Nigerian belief in the un-colonial conquering of the world and the confidence in overlooking barriers (even if that barrier is an impervious migration policy). Therefore, despite the abysmal conditions that inform their emigration, contemporary Nigerian emigres may actually be contributing indirectly to our shifting understandings of the workings of nation-statehood in this era of accelerating globalization. Whatever the case, it is quite clear that Nigerians leave because emigration (and being successful in the diaspora) is a huge part of the Nigerian dream.
