Towncrier247:
A security expert and Lagos
Police Command spokesperson, DSP Joseph
Offor says showing off on social media is a
security risk and would advice people to calm
down on it.

"It's not advisable for anyone, whether you're
a celebrity or not, to post your personal
acquisitions on social media. Such a thing is
very risky. And those doing that will only end
up putting the police on their toes."

Hero:
Why would those groups deny being Igbo? Is being Igbo seen as a bad thing in Naija or something?

IamPatriotic:
I'm Yoruba from ondo state, but the truth has to be told about the abduction of Chief Olu Falae, some people are not happy with a Fulani man being their president, he against all odds defeated their preferred and anointed candidate and they are bitter.

Omololu007:
what action do ibos take,,when igalas invaded a town in anambra and beheaded ibos,,what was the reactions of ibos?

obailala:
Enough of all these noise over this little administrative lapse. This woman retires in 2 months, this issue and this woman should be allowed to be.

wirinet:
And that makes you very happy.

wirinet:
Do you have comprehension deficit disorder? The report says he was taken to different gates. It was not the same gate twice. The UN building has many gates, only one is reserved for presidents and heads of states.

See how PDP and 5 percenters are ecstatic with joy, you would think Nigeria won the world cup. These people can even commit suicide to make sure Buhari fails or is embarrassed.

wirinet:
Did you read the report at all or you are reading another article. It says Buhari went to the venue twice and on each occasion was taken to the wrong gate.

It is now obvious that the 5 precenters are out to embarrass the president and can do anything to achieve their aims. And someone will still criticize Buhari for being afraid ti appoint the 5 percenters in this government.

OfoIgbo:
Was it the US representative in the UN that provided the food Obama ate in the White House before attending any of the UN sessions? The answer is NO

Was it the US representative in the UN that provided the motorcade that brought Obama from the White House to the UN building? The answer is NO

Buhari has shown immense INCOMPETENCE. It is now out there for the whole world to see. JOY OGWU, please keep excelling. Just resign and don't allow yourself to be tainted by these monkey lookalikes. Our daughters Iweala and Oteh are making waves in spite of attempts to rubbish them

argon500:
Members of President Buhari’s delegation to the United nations General Assembly have accused Prof.Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, of sabotaging President Muhammadu Buhari’s participation, citing glaring missteps that have embarrassed the delegation and undermined Nigeria’s/

The accusation follows curious circumstances in which Nigeria missed two key events, putting its leadership on the spot. The first was a Boko Haram response event chaired by a UN Under-Secretary Mike O’Brien, which Buhari missed completely.

The Nigeria leader, who will speak in the general debate this evening, also missed a meeting with the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, because of his late arrival to the meeting, the bizarre circumstances of which are only just being understood.

Sources within the delegation told SaharaReporters that the delegation also missed at least two other events and has had a difficult time securing full participation in the very important 70th Assembly.

In the case of the Boko Haram event, the sources told our reporter that it was never put on President Buhari’s calendar by the Nigerian mission.

Regarding the event with the Pope, Buhari missed it because when he came down from his hotel suite, there was no car to take him to the meeting. When he decided to walk to the event with his entourage, he was taken by Nigerian mission officials to the wrong gate, where they were denied entry by security agents.

Buhari then walked back to his hotel where, when he got on the elevator, the mission finally brought a car to take him to see the Pope.

Sources say when he made that second trip in the Mission’s car, he was again driven to yet another wrong gate and the delegation was turned back.

Also, yesterday an attempt by the delegation to attend a side meeting where Nigeria was to have declared its support for the “Commitment to Gender Equality” initiative almost failed as the mission failed to provide any secondary party to facilitate the Nigerian delegation’s participation. It took the intervention of the Chinese mission to help former member of house of reps Abike Dabiri and other delegates to get into the event.

And then today, members of the Nigerian delegation led by the governor of Niger state again denied access to another important event, “EveryWoman, EveryChild,” because of poor organization.

As Buhari prepares to speak today at the UN, the delegation also hit a major hitch as the Mission did not process tickets for all members of the delegation to get into the event. Only President Buhari and a few members of his protocol team were accredited to get in the venue. Our source said it was when Buhari finally got upset about it that Prof. Ogwu when out and processed acoustic tickets to enable a larger number of delegates to attend the event.

Apart from the fiasco with accreditation and general conference management, the members of the delegation are also not provided food in their hotel rooms as is the tradition. Instead, they are made to eat at a buffet at the Mission. According to his aides, President Buhari refused to go to the buffet.

The Nigerian delegation is staying at the ONE UN New York, (the former Millennium UN Plaza Hotel), across the road from the UN, and on the same block with the Nigerian Mission.

Prof. Ogwu’s tenure expires in December 2015. Several UN observers blames President Buhari for the mess, he berates the president delays in appointing ministers saying it is a major reason his UN trip failed miserably. A retired Nigerian diplomat told Saharareporters that President Buhari must have seen the folly in relying on unsupervised civil servants to run the affairs of state since he came to power.

A lie may travel for a thousand miles, but it takes just one
step of truth to catch up with it.
The voodoo analysis above can only exist in the phantasy
world of ewedu eaters. It's no longer news that Yorubas
thrive mainly on an atmosphere of lies, falsehood and
propaganda.
If the abysmal thinking of the op that assembled the
garbage above holds any water why are the Yorubas most
vocal against Biafra
Yorubas have used every known tricks to attempt to
quench the call for a separate state of Biafra. Many
mischievous Yorubas have taken to the internet
camouflaging as South-South people and South-East
people, feigning undying fake love like never before and
putting forth baseless theories why the idea of Biafra
should not be allowed to fly.
Recall that in the heat of their numerous nightmares
frustrated Yorubas have created numerous threads on
Nairaland in their desperate attempts to stop Biafra
agitation. Due to the resounding responses they received
on such threads Yorubas had to quickly call for such
threads to be deactivated! Fact#
If at all Yoruba economy is better than the Igbo economy
why are it's people worse hit by the dwindling crude oil
prices
If Yoruba economy was in any way superior to Igbo
economy Ekiti State will not deem it wise to send its
citizens to Aba in Abia State for vocational training, to
equip them to be able to create wealth for themselves and
improve the economy of the State just like Eastern region.
If Yoruba economy was superior to that of Igbos why is
hunger ravaging its people to the extent that concerned
individuals from other parts of Nigeria had to come to
their rescue, donating cash and food to ensure that they
survive the economic crunch occasioned by low crude oil
revenue?
And through all this period there was no cause for alarm
amongst the Igbos in Igboland. Not even in Abia State
where the civil servants were being owed their salaries,
courtesy of the State's strong informal sector unlike Osun
State where the phantom internally generated revenue
(IGR) was a lie of fabricated figures
to massage the egos of Yoruba Kingdom.
T.A Orji of Abia State was labelled as the worst governor
in the last dispensation by Igbos on NL and even in the
outside world. Nobody criticized TA Orji and his failure in
Abia than Igbos. Yet mischievous Yorubas kept lying to
themselves of the sterling performance of Rauf
Aregbesola of Osun State who was as bad as T.A.
Yoruba media propagandists churned out statistics of how
Osun State has blossomed to being able to do without the
free handouts from federal government (courtesy of the
crude oil wealth from another man's backyard) and yet
before you could say JACK the State became comatose
and bankrupt.
Of what good is the big size of Oyo State when Ebonyi
State is more developed than it? For the myopic Yorubas
with poor geography of a place they call their 'country' the
smallest State in size in Igbo land is about 3 times the
size of Lagos State.
Find below the desperate attempts in the past by
mischievous Yoruba voodooists to portray Yoruba
economy as good:
1. "I don't need federal allocation to pay workers" - Rauf
Aregbesola (ThisDay Newspaper, Nov 28, 2011)
2. Osun's Monthly IGR Jumps from N300million to
N1.6billion in 3 years.

Yorubas accuse Igbos of being too smart in business and
therefore should not be trusted. The implication is that
they unconsciously accept the Igbos as having superior IQ
and business sense.
And when credible institutions publish the results of their
studies showing Igbos as chart-toppers Yorubas begin to
search for straws to hold onto to fault the research. You
wonder why they become so rattled and agitated at such
results.
Business is all about smartness and no dullard or book-
theory person can do better in a business than a person
with native intelligence.
Mental superiority makes you want to find your own
space.
Mentally dull people hate radical changes and want to just
keep doing the same thing.
There is a correlation between Igbo achievements and 21
billion dollars remittances back into Nigerian economy on
yearly basis as evidenced by statistics from Western
Union. A less backward or less enterprising group of
treasury looters cannot achieve such feat.
The Igbo youths are born into a society where they always
have to think fast else they will be like Yorubas who live
on free handouts from Abuja. Igbos always try as much as
possible to excel in their various pursuits in life. Little
wonder you see many Igbos competing on the world-
stage.
Without government connections and patronage, Wale
Tinubu, Jimoh Ibrahim, Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga etc.
of Yoruba tribe will be nowhere today, and that's why
every now and then you would hear them being linked
with one financial crime or the other.
Nigeria economy assumed a downward trend when the
Yorubas and their Northern co-travellers acquired all
Nigerian companies by virtue of indigenization decree of
1972. But they could not manage the companies instead
they ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and
destroyed all the companies - that was the mother of
destruction of Nigerian economy! The swindlers indeed
bastardized the Nigerian economy.
And to divert attention from their ineptitude and crass
looting of the treasury Yorubas would use illogical
reasoning to attempt to bamboozle other people while
pointing accusing fingers elsewhere!
After more than 40 years, despite the stolen wealth, the
Yoruba land cannot be said to be transformed and be one
of the enviest in the world. None of their cities could be
likened to, say the least, Johannesburg!
Inspite of the tortuous journey the Igbo man passed/
passes through to achieve success the criminal system in
place and the Yoruba gang will not allow the Igbo man be.
Yorubas are bitter and angry at the success of the Igbos,
that they use any given opportunity at their disposal to
remind Igbos that they are the ones who accommodated
them and therefore they should abide by their dictates,
whims and caprices, including being coerced to vote the
candidate of the host's choice in election.
With all the disadvantages Igbos faced and still face after
the 1967-70 they rose from grass to grace and Yorubas
are not even ashamed to compare Igbos with treasury
looters.
There is no law on this earth that prohibits free movement
of people and participation in government. It takes a man
of courage to venture into an unknown terrain and conquer
it. The Chinese are doing it. The British, Portuguese,
French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese etc. did it. If the great
Roman Empire hadn't ventured no one would have known
they were great. Today many American businesses are
located offshores in China, Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, United
Arab Emirate and they are still venturing out to conquer
unknown terrains.
For you to be great you have to venture out of your
comfort zone. This is the true character of the ever
industrious and peace-loving Great Igbo Nation. As of
today it would be an understatement to aver that Igbos
control 50% of the economy of Lagos and its environs.
You see, it pays to venture out instead of lazing around
touting and disturbing the peace of the society.

macanu:
lol bring dem all

Pesuzok:
Bros I am Igbo, I don't know why u don't want to believe. What I dont like is how my fellow igbos are going about this, insulting people that have different opinion. The hatred is too much and it's already affecting some Gibson that interact with other tribes

Pesuzok:
You think it's all igbo want biafra. You will be shocked, I am igbo and a Nigerian. Maybe my state or local govt will be Nigeria inside biafra. I have the right to choose where to belong, and I choose Nigeria

Notyourb1tch:
What exactly is the point of this thread? To bash Igbo's? You wanted answers and they gave you answers but yet you are upset because it is not what you wanted to hear.

The truth is most people prefer to be with their own. There is nothing wrong with it and I doubt things will change. You don't need to stress yourself about what Igbo's do or don't do. If you are afraid to date one because they may marry one of their own then rather avoid such relationships. I just find it annoying when everyone wants to pick on Igbo's and find fault in everything they do.

When whites want to be with whites are they racist? Even Indians themselves to want to be within their own cast. I have nothing against inter-cultural relationships or marriages after all my parents are from different countries however people should feel free to marry who they choose too. If Igbos want to marry within its their right to do so. People need to do what works best for them period. This has nothing to do with bigotry

Pesuzok:
These biafra agitators are not being realistic. Maybe they live in onitsha and enugu and think south south will join them. If you live in Rivers or akwa ibom, you will see that the igbos are not accepted. Do you know that an igbo man cannot buy a piece of land in omuku. An Ikwerre man will say he is not igbo. Even if the south south decides to join, do you think you will see their oil, they will control that and the igbos will begin to shout marginalization again.

I am an igbo, but I don't think biafra is the way, neither do I think that the Nigerians will close a blind eye and allow an igbo presidency, so we need to fight for it politically by making allies and not enemies.
