Do u think God is a foool? This a country where they killed 3million igbos and refused to apologize to them.

And some foolish person said that if the igbo try it again the will bear the consequences. Unrepentant fools

You lack knowledge about how the finances of the country works.

The cost cutting measures introduced by PMB will only free up more resources that the federal government can use to fund its developmental projects in the country. It has nothing to do with the federation account that belongs to the entire federation. The federal government funds it's activities from the Consolidated revenue fund and not the federation account. Any cost cutting measure will affect the CRF and not the federation account.

The $20billion stolen by GEJ, Alison Madueke and other rogues in the GEJ administration have not been recovered and so cannot be a part of the federation account yet. You wailers are the ones shouting that the corrupt ridden GEJ administration should not be probed so, I wonder who you are trying to deceive.

After recovering all the alleged stolen money if possible will it improve our economy? Well you mentioned using the money in building infrastructure, bt is it what we realy need considering the present state of our economy? Am yet to see any economy policy by this goverment geared to improve the economy of this country. There is urgent need to divert our economy from unstable oil product to a more stable product. Oil price is fast declining due to innovative technology, unconventional oil can now be produced as a result of this, there is so much oil in the market and the price will keep coming down. What happens if the oil price falls below our budget benchmark? Will we keep on adjusting our budget benchmark until we run out of idea? We need to diversify our economy. What we need is a good economy policy not too much emphasy and energy on probe. While the later will bring sanity and recover our fund, it will never bring food on our table.

Things to know about Agip: Agip hadly advertised job but in house recruitment. You must know somebody. The recruit once in a year for all engineering courses inclusive. Maximum shorlisted ppl is 20 per set. Second class upper is one of their criteria. Not more than 30yrs. If successful, u will be sent to Italy for 8 months training with full salary.

Alcatraz001:
if we have to fight a war to keep the IBO's at bay I am ready to do it. I am a community leader in my area and I am ready to fight ibos through all possible means be it militarily, legally, fiscally and all what not as it has now dawned on all Yoruba's that we have been harbouring in enemies in our land.

I am ready to contribute whatever amount to advance the Yoruba cause as I just can't seem to stomach the insults anymore. People that knw me on this board will agree win me that I have been absent for a while because I promised not to get involved with tribal war going on in the politics section but the constant,unnecessary and vexatious insults of the biafrans aimed at denigrating the hospitable yorubas made me log back on just this afternoon to give a retort and sound a note of warning to the ibos to tread with care on this war mongering on the internet as you never know who's online watching and reading all the insults against peace loving Nigerians.

if the ibos want to secede, there are veritable mechanisms to adopt via the United Nations through which self determination can be achieved. I thank God Biafrans have
now created a forum for themselves to discuss their secession plans hence we can be rid of the nuisance they constitute on his board.

This is a friendly advice which I urge all discerning ibos to adopt in order to avoid another genocide.

You just succeeded in making another empty noise. Whatever you will do, keep it within you. Stop ranting!

udeagbalaC:
our government has done a lot for this Niger delta people if they don't want to cooperate in peace they should be killed

How can you make such utterances? They (Niger delta) should be killed. Barbarians everywhere!

panachuku:
Noble Nwatu
Hmm. Young igbos are here speaking swollen words that
they cannot defend. Nwata kwuo okwu amara ka uche ya
ra. When a child speaks you know his level of
understanding. All we could hear them say is "give us the
northerner, we will finish them, we'll destroy them". Even
if u can make any attempt, you can only succeed in
attacking the ones around you(wich is stil wrong). Now
hav you eva tink about d igbos living in the north? Wat
would be there fate. Even if there should be another civil
war in nigeria(but GOD forbid) who wil make d attack
(non). The only thing you find your self doing is to
defend the coast of d so calld biafra with d limited
weapon you have and when your bullet finishes, den u
hav no other choice dan to surrender and die. But on
their own side they will make d attack (wich is a great
advantage to dem) they wil stifle the igbos economy ie
there wil b no supply of any thing. Com to think of it
who are incharge of nigerian military weapon? Are they
not the one, or do you think dat if there is war outbreak
dat they wil share d weapon for biafra and for themselve,
NEVER! And if you are to attack wich state wil you attack
and leave d other. Hav you eva read d nigerian map-all d
south eastern state put together is not even up to borno
or niger state. And all this girls on social media shoutin
war war-i pity you most. D people you want to go and
fight has a very good affiliation wit al d arab countries
you can tink of and wit USA, france, UK, germany etc. Do
u knw dat durin the former war dat most states in the
north didnt knw that there is something like war going on
for 3 years. Businesses were going on and every thing
going normal there while our ancestors languish in
hunger and all manner of misfortune you can think of.
Think os the type of war a colonel like ojukwu fought for
3 years and fled. Ojukwu is wel to do wen u talk of
power, influence, wealth etc. As opposed to that of
nnamdi kanu, i promise you nnamdi kanu wil not step
into nigeria if he succesfuly cause war here. You and i
wil b dying here while he enjoy good life in UK. We the
igbos-Our republican nature shows that we can survive
with or without government(igbo enwe-eze). Lets depend
on GOD. GOD knws how best to save HIS people-Was HE
not the one that took care of abacha's case and the rest
of them?HE wil not forsake us. That time you woul use
to write vain threat online, use it and go to HIM in
prayer. Prayer is the greatest threat that vanquishes the
enemy. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.
When you pray i tel u GOD ALMITHY wil hear and deliver
us. God does not save by weapon. Besides wisdom is
better than strenght, yea wisdom is better than weapons
of war. Above all JESUS is comming again, how ready
are you. I have many things to write about but a word is
enough for the wise. Thank you. From Noble.

Every Nigerian is subject to the Nigeria constution and law including Mr President. If they can not prove me guilt under the provision of our consistution and law, the don't have any case aganist except they are barbaric!

laudate:
Guy, you can live wherever you want. Any so-called 'truth' couched in hate speech, is still hatred walking on two legs. Hate is toxic. It does not matter the amount of 'truth,' it carries in its wake. It breeds enmity. It destroys even the validity of the message. And it only ends up poisoning the soul.

The question is why does Nnamdi Kanu have to lace his so-called truth with hate and vitriol??

Is he the only one that preaches hate and instigates tribes? Is it because he can be heard true his media. Are u aware of the utterances made by a renowned monarch against another tribe before the just concluded election? Are you also aware of a call for genocide on a certain tribe by some group of people during the election period? Even people in this forum spew rubbish against some tribes. We are all guity of tribalism and hatred that's the truth about it. The earlier we realize our differences the better for us. If a team does not agree the can never progress no matter how intelligent, skillful and endowed they are.

laudate:
Oh, I see. So you are an advocate of hate speech and vitriolic insults??

Such things do NOT foster a peaceful departure. They only lead to war! How many countries got a peaceful breakup using hatred, insults and vicious language, of the kind that Kanu spews forth in his broadcasts? mtcheew....

I am an advocate of the truth! I listen to him and i accept the truth he says. His hate messages i discard. The foundation of this country is faulty that is the truth about it. Some people think that the problem of this country is only corruption but they major problems are tribalism and religion and is evidenced in Nairaland forum. By the way you talk abt war, has his followers killed any person or resorted to violence in their actulization? Instead we have some brain washed people bombing themselves nd the country in the name of some stupid religious believe. Suprisingly, even some educated people among them have this ideology. And you think if am given a choice i'll live in the same country with people that have such ideology?

laudate:
Must they use insults, venom and hate-speech to denigrate other non-Igbo Nigerians, in order to have their Biafra??

What is incoherent about the post? Please read it again with an open mind!

i read and understand your post. Hate speech and undiluted truth, is he using it to gain relevant? Without the way he dishes information people will not take him serious. After more than 40yrs of civil war why are they still clamouring for secession? If you find the truth in the above answer you will know why i believe the may achieve it.

azimibraun:
I don't know what you are trying to say because of the incoherence of your write up, Especially the topic. But I will still try to help you make a sense of it. Some of us are too educated and enlightened to take Mr Nnamdi Kanu seriously over his deranged and renegade ways. His modus operandi is getting serious igbo men, women and youths irritated. Self actualization cannot be gotten through Hate speeches from an Obscure Radio station you know. There are UN guidelines and established Mechanisms for self actualization becouse it's not criminal to seek independence so long as you meet the requirements. Why is Mr Kanu in 2015 not exploring modern and acceptable means of getting Biafra and taking everybody back to the very dark days. South Sudan and Eritrea I guess are the 2 most recent countries to gain independence in Africa. Did he bother to do. Study on how they went about it? Nigeria was under colonial rule and south Africa too. Thesame Britain that colonized Zimbabwe but we all got our independence differently. South Africa with some level of violence because of Apartheid, Nigeria got what is called a" Gentail Nationalism " it was very peaceful and had both the British and Nigerians smiling on the day of our independence. Now the question is this; are the igbos through Nnamdi Kanu t war with the rest of Nigeria? No! Are they under Apartheid rule? No! Have they followed the UN approved means for self actualization one of which is a "Referendum"? No! Because at this moment it's simple to see Majority of the Igbos don't think the Madman calling the rest of Nigeria " the Zoo" and making some non- easterners call the east " the Wild" is representing them. When you see a Nation who wants their own country you will know. Nnamdi Kanu is defrauding few unenlightened Igbos of millions of dollars and Naira over what is practically Unachievable.

Don't think is unachieveable. Ideology never dies, one day the may achieve it. Talking about refrendum they cannot achieve it without media and international publiciity. That explains the essence of their media outfit. Nothing is impossible, the may achieve it.

[quote author=mrrights post=37508306]TRUTH ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH – Abdulrazaq O Hamzat
http://mrrights.com.ng/index.php/2015/08/30/truth-alone-is-not-enough-abdulrazaq-o-hamzat/

Some years ago, a speech i delivered in a programme was titled ‘’The Truth About Nigeria’’. That paper was published on several online media platforms.

In that speech, I stated that,truth is the solution to all problems, without it, no measure works. I went ahead to state that, truth must never be substituted if we truly want to progress as a nation. This is so because, when we avoid telling the truth, that is when the nation crumbles upon itself. I pointed out further that, some people might tell half truth in some cases, but even with that, progress would be delayed, because when we avoid telling truth as it should be told, we are preventing progress as we should progress.
After observing and learning from events as they unfold in the country, it occurred to be that, truth alone is not enough. It must be accompanied with mercy and reconciliation. We must all develop the habit of having mercy with each other and being able and willing to reconcile our differences. We must not continue to live as friendly enemies, suspecting each other of certain ulterior motives every time. Rather, we must improve our relationship to that of partners, always struggling to make our relationship work better.
Lederach (1997) said- “Truth and Mercy have met together. Justice and Peace have kissed”. The above analogy by Laderach was used as themes to guide one in better understanding the components that aid long lasting reconciliation. He concluded in his finding during his workshop in the Peace Commissions in Nicaragua thus: “Without the person of truth, conflict will never be resolved. Yet, truth alone leaves us naked, vulnerable and unworthy.”

He went further that, on Mercy, images emerged of compassion, forgiveness, acceptance and a new start. Without the person of mercy, healthy relationships would not be possible. Without compassion and forgiveness, healing and restoration, would not be possible. Yet, mercy alone is superficial because it covers up too quickly. Then came the role of reconciliation.

Reconciliation is a procedure that moves us away from hatred and prejudice of the past towards building structures and procedures for establishing durable peace with adversaries once groups have entered a post-settlement phase (Ackerman, 1994). It is a process that restores broken relationships of those who have been estranged from one another by conflict to create a community again. Reconciliation begins with the restitution between the injured and the injurer, and reciprocity is essential.
Going back to my speech titled ‘’The truth about Nigeria, let me reproduce some parts of that speech so you can understand my thought on this subject better.
I took it upon myself to talk about truth, because I see it as the beginning and the ending of our challenges as a nation. Some people have opined that, inefficient leadership, corruption, unemployment and others are major problems facing Nigeria, but what I consider as the major problem holding us down is the lack of truth and sincerity.
If the leaders are truthful, they would lead truthfully, and if the followers are truthful, they would support nothing but the truth. But again, where is the truth in our leaders and even we,the followers?
Without any doubt, successive events in the country have shown that,Nigerian leaders have with time, shaped citizens reasoning to their way of thinking for easy exploitation,making it almost impossible to reason properly without a trace of sentiment and sectionalism.
99 percent of our leaders are fakes with no single trace of public consideration while in office, they only hide under the banner of North and South to deceive the populace. Since ethnicity in our part of the world has been positioned by these leaders to be seen as the only guarantor of personal security, they ride under this tent to continue their deceit to seek re-elections or appointments. No wonder their was public outcry after President Buhari made some appointments few days ago.Its all about appointments for these set of leaders. Quote You were writing well, but the last two sentences show how insensitive you are on our political dispensation. You don't see anything wrong with Buhari loopsided appointment as you may not see anything wrong on his 5%. Statement. Nigeria has six geopoltical zone, how does it look that more than 18 appointments given no appointment has come 2 a particular zone? Don't tell me that more lists r coming cos they key ones have been given. When there is a loopsideness in a multi ethnic country like Nigeria, people will complain without the leaders inciting them. Rise up and say the truth, stop blaming your leaders. They shd'nt control ur thought. We are always conscious of the truth wether we like it or not.

ebamma:
At first I was like Buhari is a bigot, a tribalist who favours his own,


Now am like, I was too fast to judge the man,



Infact he should fill his cabinet with Imams and Mullahs ,


If that is what he needs, to make this country better,


At least, I now sleep and wake with nepa light, if that is not an improvement, what is?

Why r Nigerian so heartless? Was it Buhari that fixed NEPA? Taking credit of another man's project. This country is indeed wicked. If we deny the achievment of others, we can never progress.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
You got him wrong. Ahmad bello premier northern region not prime minister of Nigeria. He had the opportunity of being the prime minister but he refused and chose to be premier of the north instead. If he wanted to northernise Nigeria he would have accepted the prime minister position and do just that, but he stayed as premier of the north so as to develop the north. He was killed before he realised that dream.

Ahmadu Belo never believe or accepted One Nigeria. It was only forced on him by the British after the revealed the prospect it holds for his region. That explains why he was a bigot

whirlwind7:
Huh. We all know that the only tribe who is afraid of competition in whatever level, are the people from the north.
This video doesn't even say much. Get a better perspective of how their mind work, and how they have this unhealthy phobia for progressive and hardworking southerners from the book "The Biafra Story" by Frederick Forsythe.
I mean, when you understand them, you won't be surprised that despite being in power longer than any region of the country, the north remains the most backwards, poorest and most underdeveloped appendage of this contraption called Nigeria.

pls mail the book to email

NAIJASOM:
I ask a similar question earlier this week on a different thread. I said " Nigeria is the only country on planet earth where Muslims are fighting so hard to stay with infidels".....Why?


All I received was insults as usual

Why? Ans: oil

Emmafrancis:
Still using that "body language" expression?. Lol. This people have no shame at all. Tah.
.
Nigeria as it is today always reminds me of the novel "Animal farm".
Buhari as the great Napoleon, GEJ as snowball, Mallam Garba Shehu as Squealer, the west as the sheeps (obviously ), Ameachi and his fellow dimwits from ss/se as boxer, etc.

Just as comrade Napoleon and his team used propaganda and lies to turn white to black and other wise. They modify there promises and the commandments very day and the other animals perplexed. The propaganda team rubbished the achievements of snowball and even claim the windmill and other innovations where the brain child of Napoleon lol.
.
They can go ahead not to keep any of their promises . Am a wailer and a proud 5percenter.

The most intelligent analysis ever. Boxer will always notice the change in the commandments(promise) while the sheeps(sw) as always find it diffcult to comprehend.

Sowell26:
NO! Oron will not be a part of Biafra. I support autonomy for every tribe/nation including igbo,Oron,Yoruba,Nupe,Efik,Ejagham,Itsekiri,Ogoni,Ijaw,Hausa,Ebira,Tiv,Idoma,Urhobo,Igala,Gwari,Fulani,Ibibio,Annang,Kanuri,Esan,Andoni,Ikwerri,etc.
Every nation should be autonomous and trade with each other.Nations should only merge willingly ,have joint millitary for defense or decide if they want to remain a part of Nigeria.
The selfish Biafran ideology does not come across as the same as Oron's ideology I've described above. And who told you that Oron is small? is Nigeria as developed as Monaco,Taiwan or Singapore? Can Nigeria defeat Singapore in a war?Qatar is just the same size as Akwa Ibom.Oron nation Territory is three times larger than Singapore and has a potential for expansion by river and ocean land reclamation.There are 16 nations way smaller than Oron. Size has nothing do with it. Vatican city (Rome ) is just 100 acres and yet it's so popular. Monaco is so small @400 acres and even has no space for airport. Barbados,Bahamas,ST Kitts&Nevis,etc. are small nations .Plus,Oron is one of the wealthiest nations in the world if it were autonomous.
Fight for your igbo nation and don't include or worry about any other nation, unless the nation willingly joins you. If majority of ibibios or lets say Idoma or Annang vote to join you,then that's their choice. Majority of Oronians don't even want to be with their linguistic neighbors Ibibio and annang ,and sure as hell Igbos are clearly out of the question. The furthest Oron would go will be to form a country with their linguistic neighbors,Efiks,ibibio,and Annang.But they all must remain autonomous within the country.
I find some of you guys frustrating and irritating sometimes.Your mental process is simply inferior and difficult for me to communicate with..

People like you wallow in self delusion. Can Nigeria willingly grant your state or tribe autonomy? Do u know that the National Confab was opposed and thwarted because it advocates for true fderalism and resource control? If Biafran's agitator that have been agitating for seperatism since 1967 are finding diffcult to achieve, don't you think your wishes are mere mirage?

mekaboy:
Was listening to radio biafra yesterday and their so called director was saying that in biafra that church service will be on Saturday and not sunday.

Biafrans will not worship in the name of Jesus but yehushua abi wetin.

That those who dont like it will not be part of biafra. Is this the type of people that will rule in the biafra nation?

God Forbid.

The fundamental igonrant of a black man is deeply rooted in religion. Black ppl dont ask question. The begining of wisdom is by asking questions with ' why?, how? Is it true? Is jesus a hebrew name? Y do the call him yehwahesua in israel bt not jesus? Y are most names in the bible in English not Hebrew,name like solomon, david, Jacob ete. Since this ppl originated from israel y r they not answering a Hebrew name bt English. Y r angels answering English name like Michael, Gabriel are the English, y not Hebrew?

IPOB Youth

Your mental toughness is undisputable. Thumb up.

obailala:
Well, if you dont care, I care about my business and the businesses of my people.

There are advantages of remaining in a united Nigeria and there are also lots of dissadvantages. However, I believe all the dissadvantages would be eliminated if we return to true federalism and resource control even whilst we would still maintain the advantages of being in a single entity.

In summary, true federalism is the more practical and most convenient option for now not secession and to achieve that, the entire southern Nigeria must unite to make it happen.

True fedralism and resource control is the last thing Nigeria will embark on. Your leaders and with the present state of the country can never advocate for that.

atbu1983:
Without an independent Niger Delta, Biafra is dead on arrival.

Lets be reasonable here, if the ibo speaking states that countribute less than 30% in terms of revenue accrued from oil wants to seccede Nigeria will not allow to them seccede peacefuly, hw is it possible that SS that is the main bulk of oil revenue can seceede inependently? For SS to seceede the need a strong alliance with SE.

atbu1983:
You think you can get Biafra, and we cant get south south republic? Can you hear urself?

SS republic? How pathetic. You don't even have a name. Hw vocal have you been in your agitation of your so called SS republic? FYI, Biafra agitation started since 1966 and is still on going. Nobody is holding you.

Sweetlemon:
If SS are not homogenous what will you now call SS/SE?

There r more ibo ppl in SS. So the integration is perfect. Besides the have a common value. U shld tell yourself the truth that SS can never get a republic of SS.

atbu1983:
Op, from my perspective, I think you are d one who is myopic who does not see the big picture. Niger Delta Emancipation cannot happened through Biafra. You may be a Biafra symperthiser and believe that any South South person who does not support Biafra is Myopic.

The truth is that not everybody want to be subordinate for ever. Many south south people want total freedom. Not a situation where a Tribe (igbo) who believe they are born to rule all the south south minority we put us into to complete extinction. Hausa Fulani is not our problem. The problem of Niger Delta is Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me Hausa people have some respect and regard for others even when power is with them. But Igbo will threat others as semi-human being if you give them that opportunity.

History has teach many wise south south people Igbo are the worst set of Nigerians to give absolute power to. The attrocity and genocide committed by the Igbo on south south minority during the civil war is still fresh in some peoples mind. You might have forgotten others have not.

Isaac Adaka boro lost his vision of Ijaw Republic because Igbo believes we are thier slaves. It was Igbo head of state General Agunyi Ironsi who stopped him and fought him and destroyed his dream.

You may have personal hatred for Hausa/fulani because igbos have brainwashed you they are your enemy. Not everyone is brainwashed.

The fact is that SS on their own can never actualize their own republic cos they are not homogenous

MadCow1:
Wow.. E don tey sha..

You got it right, for oil accumulation to occur, you need the presence of structural or stratigraphic traps, a semi - permeable membrane and pressure.

The other fellow spoke about the age of the formations found on the Nigerian side if the basin being younger than that found in the same basin in the territorial regions of neighbouring countries. Well, the age of the Rock may be I portal for formation but not for migration and entrapment.

The truth is that the Geology of the basin supports the hypothesis that has led to the search. The basin is constituted of a mix of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (mostly shale and sandstones). The general Idea is even that the oil in the Niger Delta flows (flowed) down from the chad basin through the Benue through and settled here. Yeah.. That's the academic hypothesis we were told. So the hope is that should they find 1 good trap in the basin, they may discover a stack of oil.

I am of the feeling they may get lucky. There is no reason not to search.

Truth is, I hope they find some, more money for Nigeria and maybe the north will finally enjoy what oil producing communities in the south south are enjoying.

From your academic hypothesis, if the general idea is that oil flows from Chad Basin to Niger Delta, it then means that Chad Basin formation does not possess the characteristic for oil to accumulate which are reservoir trap, porosity and permeability. In other words, all the efforts, and money NNPC have been investing in Chad basin will be a monumental waste going by your academic hypothesis.

[quote author=MadCow1 post=37090822]I am clueless as to how much exploration work has been carried out in the Basin.

The reports coming out of there a conflicting. Some say they have found deposit, others say they are still exploring. I really don't know what to believe anymore.[/quote ] That is y the country digusts me. Everytin oil, unity oil, stability oil, one Nigeria oil. Imagine NNPC sinking 200 millions dollars on Chad Basin bt to no avail. Do u knw what 200 million dollars will do to the economy of this country if channelled to other sectors? All in the bid for the North to be part of oil producing state, NNPC spent such a woping sum. Did Nigeria spent money in exploration in other oil producing states bt it was done by shell nd co with Nigeria not spending her dime. Y didn't they give shell the licence to search oil in Chad Basin? Its because the knew shell will not embark on such furtile venture.
