Icon4s: I am a true Igbo son. And I am not joining forces with any Yoruba to castigate my Igbo people. What I am pointing out is that running away to go and form Biafra bc Yorubas and Hausas håve formed an alliance in nt d best way out. Infact it is nt d easier way out.
This Biafra agitation sef dat has been more popular here on nairaland than anywhere else.
It not Igbo but if you are ...then check out my signature. It's for u
inlandtaipan: I have taken my time to ponder why the agitation for secession is whelming within Igbo's and not with yorubas/hauas and I have come to a conclusion that history has a part to play.
Yoruba's/hausas generally believe in monarchy system of ruling, From time immemorial, we have been hearing of Oyo empire, ijesha kingdom, ife kingdom from Yoruba land and sokoto caliphate, kano emirate etc from Hausa land. These kingdoms are a system where lot of villages submit to a particular ruler and pay homage to him, unlike in Igbo land, nobody wants to be ruled. The only king of a major town in Igbo land is obi of Onitsha and that's because Onitsha people adopt little Benin element and even obi of Onitsha doesn't lord over anybody. In Yoruba land, you see oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, olu of Ibadan, deji of akure, awujale of ijebu, alake of egba etc, all the major towns in the north have emirs lording over them. You can never hear things like eze of awka, eze of Enugu, obi of nnewi, eze of aba, eze of port Harcourt or eze of umuahia.
What I'm trying to say? It is a habit for yorubas/Hausa to merge with any other body to form a single kingdom (Nigeria in this case). This monarchy system doesn't work in the East. An average yoruba man respects oba than the governor of the state, same as a hasua man will respect emir. Take ijebu as an example, we have lots and lots of communities coming together to form one kingdom, same as other kingdoms in Yoruba and hasua land.
The coming together of a thing is also evident in the settlement pattern of the our villages, an average igbo settlement is in such a way that people build compounds away from each other, nobody wants to be lorded by anyone. But when you go to the north and west, they build close to each other and appoint a ruler, they are historically submissive.
This is a major factor firing the Biafra agitation and since its a culture in the east, i think no one can stop the agitation, we are different people. We don't do thing same way.
Pointless submission ....the reason is without Igbo...Nigeria is doomed
MayorofLagos: U dey mind dem? The Yoruba they call coward just few days ago flogged their eze in Akure...and to add pepper to the wound, locked up their shop until Ohanaeze, the eze himself came and prostrated for our Oba.
Where is brave Ibo to rescue Gregory Iloheke from the flogging canes of Yoruba?
When about 30 men ambush a man in their own land and flog him..that's your definition of bravery ? Inviting a man by a supposed king..the king has no guts to even tell the man what he wants . and you call that bravery and heroic ?
jstbeinhonest: A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, has said there would have been ethnic war between the Fulani and the Yoruba people, if his abductors had killed him. He said this on Thursday while narrating his ordeal to the immediate former Minster of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, who paid him a sympathy visit over the incident. Falae said, “God has a way of doing His things. I know God just decided to spare my life; God really saved my life. They tortured me, stripped me naked and did a lot of things to me in their den. They attempted to killed me but they did not succeed. “I also thank God for making me to survive the ordeal because if I they had killed me there, many lives would have been lost too, it would have become an ethnic war between the Yoruba and the Fulani. So I thank God that the matter did not get to that level.” Speaking, Shekarau said the only solution to the security challenges in the country was for the people of the country to embrace community policing, where everybody would be a policeman in the community. “The issue of security should be the concern of everybody, not only the policemen. Our government should do everything possible to encourage community policing. Everybody should be a policeman, everybody should be his brother’s keeper. We should learn how to immediately report any act criminality to the security. “It is very unfortunate that this kind of thing happened to an elderly man like Chief Falae, who had served this country meritoriously”, he stated.
kingsolex: let me tell u one secret today if the south south, south east and south west join hands no northerner will ever rule Nigeria again but divided we become easily defeated preys to the Northerners.
But south east and south south joined hands who sold out ..who keeps selling out
We are talking how to develop sw and you are saying thus...this is one reason I laugh ...maybe you should stop patronising dstv ,don't buy Toyota then don't use Nestlé and cadbury products maybe don't even patronise any non Yoruba product and then tell all the Yoruba in coscharis,shell, chevron zenith bank diamond bank and many other places to resign forth with
The way you peeps reason is so funny and thats the reason sw are been left behind
Take a look around ...instead of encouraging your people to go into SME and build small industries and focus on developing their individual states this is what you can say
Hate and tribalism kills and ithinj you should learn to compete
chinology: Harlot Judith, shut up your smelly dirty a.sss. Is erosion devastation in your useless and worthless imo state not the worst in the entire federation? There are worse erosion sites in imo state than anywhere else but hypocrisy will not allow I.diots like you to say it.
Fat ugly dirty prostitute like you should go and hide her head in shame. A.sshole. Husband killer like you..
Beremx: shut up Chino! I didn't post on this thread to congratulate Anambra people for you to start telling me who's marriageable and who's not! Shove your supremacy talks down your throat.
The Anambra contestant spoke well by mentioning a major problem in Anambra state which is gully erosion and how it has adversely affected Anambra people, this is something you Anambra people have failed to acknowledge that it is a problem on this thread and profer solutions to it. I am happy she pointed out the problem and she has pledged to join hands with Willie Obiano to fight the erosion problems in her state. That alone gave her the crown which she deserved.
What is this APC lap dancer doing here ozokwa? Achuo GI na afia ibata na uno
For your info I was born in IMO and I know the erosion at nekede and njaba area
What is wrong with this girl ? This Niger delta man has made u reason like em
yinkeys: Madam, that question about selling Cross river to the rest of the world was a bit tough. After the question was dished out, answering commenced almost instantly. How many sentences would you construct around TOURIST CENTRE especially when you know you'll be asked random questions. Besides I don't think they are dull for their age, national TV + stage composure = them try abeg. Watched that of Ebonyi & Abuja only
That question was easy ...that question was in 30seconds how will u sell cross river ?
It simple advert line one can choose
It is ..come to crossriver home of obudu and Nigerian carnival and feel at home

TonySpike: Kidnap statistics say that South West has a rate of 5%, While South East has 4%. Tell me OP, what is the statistical difference between 4% and 5%?
eyeview: Am not into tribal sentiments but am sure this topic won't make frontpage. Had it been about how an igbo boy was caught with drugs someone somewhere will shoot it to straight to the frontpage for reasons best known to him or her.
How you take know ?
Thank lord that it is in Igbo land ...by the way it will not be nice if that aboki comes to invest and take the money away
Igbo economy is in hands of Igbo ..we can take the chunk of others
babyfaceafrica: you have not yet caried out a research and you are postulating that studying Igbo is broader than Yoruba or hausa.....?....don't take things face value!!!....just because one tribe seems to be more noise making than others does not mean anything!!!...nice post though..really love ijaw people
macof: I've never known a more shameless human being. . I used to think Tonychristopher was bad but mehn you are lost to stupidity.. the price of bigotry
To answer simple question you cannot answer..when you have no answers that serve ur bigoted agenda
You cannot stand my intellect and it's a fact. A bigot can never be intelligent. . Take that very seriously, A bigot like you can only spew stupidity I've addressed all ur errors and corrected them for sensible people reading through the thread
If you think I made any blundering points to this argument of Nollywood kindly correct them, to not do so means you have nothing to say
Ilekeh: [size=18pt]High crime rates in the SW is parallel to high rate of igbo immigrations to the SW
[/size]
1. Ritual killers, kidnappers, cannibals and human parts merchants, baby factory operators, drug dealers, distributors of fake products, fake pharmaceutical owners. That's why Igbos land is the World Capital of Ritual-killers, baby factory workers and quite erosive.
2. Fetish Juju charmers
3. Deadly cultists - Arochukwu, Abia, Enugu igbos part of river state; Achebe
4. Child kidnappers aka baby factories and Infant RAPE- Fathers raping their little children, mothers raping their little children, brothers raping sisters
5. Human eating restaurant destination gateaway – Anambra famous restaurant
6. Barbaric Rapists
7. Experts in Incestuous relations – Ex- Gov Chine and likes
11. International Credit card, international drug dealers, internation rapists (i.e in India, UK), International fake goods distributor (i.e in California). Igbo men are notorious for killing their wives (especially in Houstan and Dallas texas)
15. International drug peddlers – Igbo leader in Australia,
16. Political thugs aka politicians – Allison Madueke, Gov Chime, T. orji etc
17. Jobless touts aka IPOB Youths
18. Notorious Assassins and murderers – Cases in Houston, Dallas, and Igboland
19. Bloody Tribalists who rarely appreciate the good in other people – They hate anything Yoruba, Hausa, Fulanis, Ijaws etc
20. Notorious propagandists - Biafra local forum, Radio Biafra
21. Political liars and Supporters of Corrupt politicians- Cases of Allison Madueke, Saraki, elevating the political thief T. Orji from governor to Senator.
22. Loud, foul-mouthed Noise makers, chestbeaters, cowards, lazy, ill-gotten wealth from ransom money and distributing fake products.
23. Coward coup plotters – Ojukwu who ran to ivory coast while leaving 3 million of his people to die in a war he started.
Ojukwu- the greatest general in the history of Igbo peole- knelt, wept and begged Yoruba people to forgive the igbos for their senseless declaration of war, betrayed his people in the time they needed him the most.
24. Treacheerous Back-stabbers ( All igbos who disowned Biafra, Ojukwu, MASSOBs disowning the Biafran leader, Igbo people disowning GEJ after the election, Igbo ELDERS)
25. Over 95% of Nigerians who have been executed in India, Malaysians and Chinese governments FOR CRIMES RANGING FROM DRUG ABUSE TO DRUG MAFIA ARE IGBOS.
26. Igbos are the worst pirates sabotaging the hard labour of people round the world! They bootleg Yoruba-produced movies and sell it in the black markets. They’re petty traders who make fake products without giving credits to its owners. They sell fake pharmaceutical products to unsuspecting patients. Their movies are senseless and hardly being watched by Nigerians themselves.
One funny thing about the parasitic leeches called the igbo tribe is that many of their wealth are ill-gotten. While Yorubas focus on IT companies, Igbos focus on kidnapping rich victims to gain ransom money, sell drugs in the international market. Many of their greey leaders, like Allison Madueke, Stella Oduah and Ifeanyi Ubah get their wealth from unknown source. Look at Nngozi Iweala who siphoned millions from the Nigerian government so that her son can direct a movie in America. Or Madueke who tried to buy mansions in Hyde Park, UK with the money she stole during GEJ’s administration. Ask an Igbo man how he got his money and you’ll hear “drugs”, “oil block” and “political prostitution”. That’s why Yorubas and Hausas control Nigeria’s political terrain. They’re smarter and more qualified. Igbos are too greedy to hold high positions, when they do, they usually go to court for corruption and fraudulent cases.
Igbo women are big time prostitutes – Biancar Ojukwu who dates FFK behind Ojukwu, Afrocandy, Cozzy Ojiokwor, anna Banner, etc
The remaining lazy Igbanzas ingrates believe one cannot achieve success save by ritual-killings, kidnapping and selling drugs oversea. You will find them on Austria and American most wanted lists.
In the SE Okija is implemented in every local government and all SE States. Our gorvenors (i.e T. Orji) use the Okija to gain money and to win political campaigns. This is in addition to Inbreeding, child molestation, bank fraud, credit card scam, certificate forgery, internet fraudsters, fettishness/juju, terrorism, thuggery, kidnapping, IPOB touts, etc.
Igboland - The World Capital of Ritual-killings/Kidnapping/Drug mafia/Fake products/ Foggery/ Scame
So much for Igbo ‘businesses’, more like ‘messes’!
Igboland is indeed the undisputed Ritual/ drug dealing Capital of the Whole Wide World. See the list of the Dark Spots operated by these ‘businessmen’ and bile-filled cretins operating in human forms. Even their cops/Inspector general of police are into kidnapping of innocent rich Yorubas to gain riches. They rape women and held them hostage in secret houses, then they sell their babies to make profit.

These demons in human flesh are all over the place committing unspeakable crimes to gain riches.
