Igbos and their dependent nature.

They can't stand on their own

I love Yorubas, they don't even call Edo or Delta in all their political adventures

But Igbos, lowlifes can't even do anything on their own

In your agitation and ipob madness, how many people in Delta, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Cross river state associate them with your struggle?

You are like Northern politicians who are fixed on middleBeltans to survive politically.

The only two regions that ll run their countries without alliance with other regions are South South Nation(Niger-Delta) and Yorubas Nation.

Arewa can even survive on their own by forming alliance with Niger and Chad.

In your case, you ll be at the mercy of other Nigerians; Niger-Deltans ll be your lifeline and Yorubas.

In 70s during the war, the only reason you guys died in millions is just a simple application of blockade and the whole life of Igbos came crashing.

You guys see yourselves as important but other Nigerians are laughing at y'all.

You guys left South West in 70s during the civil war and nobody even missed you guys. We carried on with our lives.

During MKO Abiola brouhaha, Igbos ran to the East, nobody missed you guys.

The Northerners killed you guys themselves vid they don't need Igbos.

After the war, if you are that independent, you suppose to cut ties with the North and West by reducing your numbers to the minimal level but guess what, your numbers skyrocketed after the war till date. What does that tell you?

Guess what, the Odua citizens hardly come to your region even Arewa and Niger-deltans. Yorubas ll never think of coming to your region out of all regions in Nigeria hence their few numbers in your region. They believed they are better of in their region. Yorubas ll rather go to USA/UK/Canada and Ireland than venturing into any other parts of the country. Why? Cos they know that there is no other parts of Nigeria that can give them what they want economically while your kinsmen Yankee or Europe is Yoruba land.

All these points will give you an idea of who ll suffer more in eventuality of war or separation.

The secret you don't know why countries don't allow regional governments to break is this, if central government allows one region to break away, the rest ll go. It's the same all over the world.

In USA, the state of California wants to break away from the rest of USA.

Texas wants to leave too.

In UK, Scotland and North Ireland wants to go too.

In Spain, Catalonia wants to go

In Belgium, both North and South of Belgium want to go their separate ways but the central govt refused.

So the essence of Igbos being kept in this union is what i have just told you.

If Yorubas was in war with Federal govt just like the way you were in war then, Yorubas would be able to feed themselves cos they have access to sea in almost all their states. This alone is enough to survive on economically.

There several countries around the world surviving on tourism alone.

Unless the person who said "thou art peter & on this rock I would build my church" wasn't Jesus Christ. The catholic church traces its origins to the time of the apostles. Look at history. Every other 'church' broke away from the catholic church. We weren't founded when 1 man claimed to be led by the Spirit & founded a church with himself as the head, sometimes taking away the congregation of the former church he was in.

So what does Obi and Igwe mean?

Read this again;

Ibeku clan has a Royal Highness with the title Ogurube Ibeku. The Present Ogurube is His Royal Highness Eze Samuel Iheonu Onuaha. The Ogurube IV of Ibeku. His cabinet is made up of all the Eze from the seven egwu asaas. These individual egwus are autonomous in terms of organization in localities headed by their own Eze.


Your "king" is a cabinet member of another king.
ya, ur very revered first class kings have other kings in their cabinet.

A church whose founder was Christ & who can trace its history to the apostles is Antichrist? A church who under the guidance of the Holy Spirit brought forth the bible & doctrines such as the divinity of christ, the trinity etc is Antichrist? Kindly watch your words because you would account for every word you uttered in this world.

[quote author=BluntBoy pos

The Bible said we should never bow down to idols. Your church encourages people to bow down to idols. Your church has over a billion members. These members are being led astray. The Antichrist would lead many astray. Would deceive, if possible, even the elect. The Catholic Church is that Antichrist. She has strong influence on world politics and economies just as the Bible predicted. The Catholic Church is the Antichrist leading many of you astray. [/quote

Never wanted to glorify you by quoting you but defending my faith won't be glorifying you. For the records, we don't worship Mary, we honour her. What you don't know, ask questions before blaspheming.

5 Facts to Ignore Before Accusing Catholics of “Mary Worship”
GARY ZIMAK
Mary Worship
I love the Blessed Mother! There…I said it and I’m glad I did! As a Catholic, I’m so blessed to be a member of the Church that truly honors and respects the Mother of my Lord and Savior. I must admit that, even though I’m a cradle Catholic, I didn’t always feel this way. In fact, for most of my life I didn’t understand Mary’s role or care about her too much. What a mistake! Now, after several recent accusations of “Mary worship” on my Facebook page, it’s time to stand up for my “Mom”. And, even though I love her and want to defend her honor, I have no intention of getting nasty. Rather, I’d prefer to present 5 facts about Mary. Before you accuse Catholics of worshiping Mary, I ask you to take a long hard look at these facts. They have a way of poking holes in the theory that we place too much emphasis on Mary. If you still want to accuse Catholics of worshiping Mary, then I suggest you ignore these facts!

1. God Sent The Savior Through Mary – I list this one first because it’s really tough to downplay Mary’s importance while acknowledging that the long awaiting Messiah came to earth by being born of a woman…and that woman was Mary. Out of all the ways that Jesus could have come to earth, why was Mary chosen? If Mary was important to God, shouldn’t she mean something to us?

2. Jesus Performed His First Miracle At Mary’s Request – This is another good one. Oh I know, Jesus didn’t need Mary to turn the water into wine at Cana. She just happened to be there. OK, why then did St. John list Mary FIRST in his list of wedding guests?

On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage with His disciples. (John 2:1-2)


If Mary is not important in this saga, why is she listed BEFORE the apostles and BEFORE Jesus? St. John the Evangelist was not known for inserting extraneous details. Mary is listed first because John wants to call the readers’ attention to her presence at the wedding.

But what about “the rebuke”? You know, the argument that Jesus was telling Mary to “butt out” when He stated:

“O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” (John 2:4)

Jesus was a devout Jew and an obedient follower of the Ten Commandments. Why would He publicly dishonor His mother in violation of the Fourth Commandment? Secondly, if this was such a “put down” by Jesus, why did He go ahead and perform the miracle of changing water into wine? Wouldn’t that have been the end of the request. Of course it would, unless He wasn’t putting Mary down. When His mother interceded on behalf of the couple, Our Lord decided that His time had now come. Don’t you think Jesus is trying to tell us something? Isn’t is probable that Jesus waited until Mary’s request, in order to show us her intercessory power? Doesn’t that explain why St. John listed her first among the guests?

3. Jesus Gave Mary To John From The Cross – As He suffered and died on the Cross, Jesus made a very profound statement:

When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John 19:26-27)

Why, while struggling to speak as He hung on the Cross, would Jesus have spoken these words if they didn’t mean anything? Could He have been making small talk? Obviously, there was a reason that Our Lord did what He did. The Church has always believed that John represented each member of the Church and that, from that moment on, Mary became our spiritual mother. Scripture tells us that, on that day John accepted Jesus’ gift and “took her to his own home” (John 19:27). Shouldn’t we do the same?

4. Jesus’ First Graces Were Given Through Mary – This is a fact that frequently gets overlooked by those who wish to downplay Mary’s importance…and it comes straight from the Bible! After accepting God’s offer to become the Mother of the Savior, Mary traveled “in haste” to visit her relative, Elizabeth.

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (Luke 1:41)

According to this Bible passage, before Jesus was even born, Mary’s voice was used to deliver the graces to Elizabeth. Why? Because she’s not important? Isn’t there some other way, these graces could have been dispensed?

Not convinced? Listen to what Elizabeth had to say (also directly from the Bible)…

“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44)

It’s pretty hard to deny the importance of Mary’s presence and voice in dispensing these graces to Elizabeth. Did the graces originate from Mary? No, they obviously came from Jesus. However, He chose to have Mary make the journey and use her voice to deliver them. Why? Because He wants us to realize that she is important!

5. Jesus Christ Is The Sole Mediator Between God And Man – Now, this doesn’t make sense. How does this help to support the Catholic position? This is why we Catholics “have it all wrong”, isn’t it? Sorry if I’m bursting anyone’s bubble, but Catholics absolutely believe that Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) clearly states this belief:

Intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. He is the one intercessor with the Father on behalf of all men, especially sinners. (CCC 2634)

This Catholic teaching is supported by the following Bible passage:

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all. (1 Timothy 2:5-6)

Although Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man, that doesn’t preclude others (including Mary) from being involved in a subordinate mediation, or intercession. Saint Paul, who made the above statement, is obviously aware of that fact since he several times urges his readers to pray for each other (Romans 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:25, 1 Timothy 2:1). The Catechism refers to this type of intercession as being a “participation in the intercession of Christ” (CCC 2635) and is put into practice each time we pray for one another. Asking Mary to intercede for us in no way takes away from Jesus’ role as mediator between God and men.

While I’m not naive enough to think that listing these 5 facts will render me immune from further accusations of “Mary worship”, I do think that they will have an effect if looked at with an open mind. Sacred Scripture does not contain a lot of words about Mary, but what’s there is powerful. Theologians have spent 2,000 years studying her Biblical appearances and will continue to do so. We can learn much by studying Mary’s role as documented in the pages of the Bible. If anyone wants to accuse me of being a “Mary worshiper”, I ask you to first look at these 5 facts. If you still want to point a finger, you’ll need to ignore these factual statements…because accepting them will seriously undermine your credibility!

Deluded family. No wonder Nnamdi is deluded, it runs in their gene.



Kanu's family spokesman should have first informed us where his brother (Nnamdi) and their father is. We need to know if they have been killed or abducted by the army or they are in hiding.



What do you want the international community to do? The international community can not do zilch. The international community has not been able to do anything about Myanmmar's Rohingya people who are being killed and driven from their homeland daily, they have not been able to do anything about the Tibetians, the Catalonians, the Kurds and even in turkey where Erdogan has clamped down on hundreds of thousands of opposition figures. I will not even mention north Korea and Russia.

Your house? I though it was your father's house. It seems the Kanu family boys are unable to leave their father's house. There is no Biafraland anywhere, the South East is under Nigeria and subject to Nigerian laws.



It is not only organizations that openly carry arms that are tagged a terrorist group, any group that promote the use of violence and anarchy to promote political agenda can be termed a terrorist group. The Islamic Brotherhood is tagged a terrorist organization in Egypt even though they don't openly carry arms.

Engage IPOB leadership genuinely? An IPOB leadership that insults and threaten everybody? An IPOB leadership that promised to behead a sitting president? So what is there to engage about?



Delusion at its peak. So you are comparing your father who is a local chief to a first class traditional ruler. If a traditional ruler allows his palace to be used to subvert the country's laws, then he opens his palace and himself to disgrace.

I see some United fans getting frustrated here. It's normal anyway. We want to enjoy bragging rights.

Guys, deal with it. This is how Mourinho is going to approach a lot of games like this. With a lot of defensive discipline. If you are expecting him to go gungho against the big teams, then you don't know Mou. Not with this squad anyway. Defend first and try and get goals on the counter will be the strategy, even against the likes of Citeh, Chelsea and Spurs. Especially when playing away.

Mourinho is the kind of coach who would have already counted the number of points he wants to get this season and where he wants to get them. The sooner we all accept this, the less our frustration.
