Igbos should stay out of this yorubas revolution,




dont join them in their dance of shame called revolution.


Remember they will always join north to fight us any time any day.
If something go wrong on this their so called protest,they will still turn back and join northern to fight igbos,tagging it igbo revolution.


Go to facebook and read comments of yoruba muslims then thank me later.

God bless you nwannem.
You spoke like A true nwa afo.
Na siddon look we dey.

KingOdart:
Sowore is not a Yoruba man

Sowore is an Ijaw man

Ijaw o, Yoruba o, we don't care. South south (our oyel) and South West can go to hell for all we care

chiagozien:
NO reasonable igbo man will join in this Yoruba dance of shame called revolution.

I agree 1000% nwannem. Let the two faced south wasted yorobbers fight for their own.
After all them no follow us fight for Nnamdi Kanu release

Where the useless our oyel people - the so called south south ? Who would rather die at the hands of Fulani's than cooperate with the Igbo's? The our oyel people who believe Igbo's will take over their oyel when a biafran state is created.

In their very eyes their 'oyel' is been sucked dry both legally and illegally by the North.

The good thing is when the Fulani's come to kill the southerners, they don't care to mind who is Igbo and who is not.

MNDY:
I for one see you two as one and the same (south-east & south-south), a lot of outsiders do too. Y'all look alike even. I served with 2 south-south and south-east guys.

We lived together in the same lodge and I can categorically tell you that south-south don't really like the south-east as the latter does the former. South-south likes the Yoruba's more.

I don't care what you think and how you see us. Telling me that south south don't really like south east is already stating what i have stated already. So I don't know what it is you are getting at.

As to preferring Yoruba's I don't know and I don't care.

All I Am concerned with is my people, that is why my statement is a clarion call to my people to help them realize how the so called south - south really feel about our collective unification. Therefore, everyone should answer their father's name.

Responses on this thread has just brought to the fore a long known truth. But unfortunately, some decide to play Ostrich by hiding their heads in the sand.
"if there is no enemy within, the enemy without can do you no harm".

The south south with the exception of Asaba people, who are Igbos and proudly identify as one are not our kin. It's better to recognize that these are not people you can form alliance with.

Imagine people who would rather die at the hands of marauding Fulani's than form alliance with igbo's for the emancipation of the christian south. This is not a surprise because the igbos thrive on aggressive competition and meritocracy, these they term domination. In every forms life, there exist hierachies ,you cannot deny that the Igbo's proudly sit on top of the food chain as a result of an ingrained culture of hard work and diligence.

For as long as Igbos are more successful, the south south who some of my brothers so affectionately call our people are nothing but saboteurs, for lack of a better word, and will continue to hate and jealous the Igbo's

Igbo's defend yourselves and your kin. Let the 'our oyel' south south defend themselves too. Whatever becomes of all of us we can only wait and see.

Suspect33:
oops i don't like onitsha, too rowdy, thought it was awka

That's what you'll expect from the commercial hub of the state. Onitsha a city with the largest market in west Africa - Onitsha main market.
P. S: Onitsha is a clean and organized city btw. When Peter Obi entered power, he changed the face of Onitsha and Anambra as a whole.
Obiano is continuing the legacy

As a neutral observer, all i can say is that the bini guys on this thread have brought verifiable facts to substantiate their claim. I don't know how anybody can dispute written documented fact.

gozzlin:
Wow. I wonder why that is very similar to the Anambra pronunciation. I thought Ikwere is very distinct from the Igbo language.

my brother leave those people. Although to be fair, it's some of them that peddle such nonsense that Ikwerre is not a dialect of the Igbo language.
Many of my Ikwerre friends identity fully as Igbo's. They know that the division we have today is political not ethnic or cultural.

Menance:
You can never see a brown roof. It's paining me

You can never find a sea brown roofs in any state in the south east. I say that with exclusive preserve because I have gone to them all.

Op you are not replying again. Is the online discuss group closed or what?

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Akpeyi s a Yoruba boy

Go and claim him now. Or you can attempt changing his state of Origin from Anambra to Ewedu republic.

Iwobi is from Anambra state, same with Akpeyi. Before compiling your lists, do your research instead of writing nonsense. Iwobi and Akpeyi are both 1000000000% Igbo names with powerful meanings.

By the way even Iwobi's mum i.e Okocha's sister is 10000% Igbo. The part of delta is from is not the so-called delta Igbo who are a bit close to Edo, no! She is from ogwashi ukwu who are brothers to Onitsha(Anambarians). The division is simply political, not cultural or ethnic.

If you think I'm lying, go and meet an Ogwashi ukwu and Asaba man and tell them they are not same with onitsha people and see what becomes of you.

Igbo's have always been the best when it comes to sports.
The south south has also contributed alot.
The south west, not very much.
The north contributes nothing.

CaptainMarvel:
Thinking of starting an Access management company. . I have cool ideas in my head about how to make it efficient but I really don't know much about Asset management. Just few things I learnt from Googling.
Any words of advice?

Read your journey through programming, and how much you've accomplished in 2 years. It's really inspiring.

I have same goals, my weaknesses so far has been having a time table for this and maintaining motivation. Can you help with things that helped you? Since you are self thought.
Can drop my mail if you want me to

CaptainMarvel:
Javascript. I ll want to do it myself. Learning a bit of programming is worth it, as I have recently come to realize

sirdouglas:
Oga answer the question?? Stop trying to dodge it. You have been all over this thread. Replying every Tom snd Harry and telling everyone how I am a bad person but you admitted you impregnated a minor and at a tender age of 14 and has refuse to give insight on how it ended.

I wanted you to tell everybody. I told you many people here are interested or you think I am the only one online??

Motherfu*king hypocritical bastard. Tell everyone how it ended let them judge both of us who is a better human.
Me that impregnated at her early twenties and you that impregnated a minor possibly helped her to do an abortion or denied the pregnancy. Na God go punish you.

Calm down nwanne.
Don't return fire for fire, this is a public forum. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. If you stand to stone every dog that barks at you, you won't go very far.

Now to the point, first of all, the deed has been done. It's to late for "I should have", and "if only's". Here are my suggestions for the way forward.

It is clear that if she is really carrying your kids and gives birth to those kids, her life will never be the same as a single mother especially in Nigeria. It's hard enough for single ladies to get married these days not to talk of a lady who has not one but two children.

In as as much as I commend your taking responsibility for your bouts of copulation with her, it must also be said that she herself cannot be free of the blame. She was a willing participant.

I commend you for not advising her to abort, because if she had, and things went south, the same feminists here screaming it's her body and her choice would have come for your neck to impress it on you that you are responsible for whatever bad may have resulted.

What i feel is that, you should be willing to be more selfless. I know you have your spec and all, life is not always as we plan. From all your submission, it's clear that her major flaw is naivety, indecisiveness, and that she feeds on a diet of gossip. These are not admirable traits, but they are not grossly 'unmanageable' traits. Like many have suggested you can touche her up. Thank heavens you yourself admitted you love some things about her. Most importantly, there is no guarantee you are gonna find that right woman, and even if you do, no guarantees she's not gonna be a devil.

Most importantly think of the children within the context of Nigeria. Think of the prejudice attached towards being born out of wedlock. From what i can gather so far about you, I don't think you will want your kids to be raised that way. The stigma for children born out of wedlock in Nigeria is just too much a factor to ignore. Think of the future of the children growing up without both parents.

Both of you have sown your seed, the honorable thing to do will be to reap it. While you both try to enjoy your life together as best as you can without making your kids pay for your mistake.

This sword is sharp on both ends, if you decide not to marry her and still provide for her, here's what will happen:
She'll most likely never get married,
Your children will be stigmatized,
And the possibility of having future fracas between
Legitimate kids and the others who are not.

If you do decide to marry her,
She may never change from being an 'mgbeke'.
She may become the person you've always wished for.
You may or may not always enjoy the marriage, but at least your children would be raised under the confines of your home.

It's really a case of the devil and the deep blue sea. It's a tough decision. You just have to choose what you can live with.

But with the facts you've presented so far, I'll suggest you marry her. At least you don't hate her. You may eventually come to love her, or not. Remember that no marriage is perfect o, even with the perfect spec own. And nothing is ever guaranteed. If you marry her, both of you pay for your mistakes not the kids.

All the best

I condemn in totality these ruga settlement.
I urge every biafran from ss and se to raise with one voice.
Ss and se are the children of the most high jehovah.
We are chosen ones and were and can never be slaves.
God bless biafrans.
God bless ss and se.

Remove the basttard south south from your statement. The stupid our oyel people. Wey their hate for the Igbos strong pass their love for life.

Just say South east.
South south can speak for themselves.
As igbos we know ourselves, we already know our stand. That's why I love my people.
We no vote for apc so no ruga.

At least them Say south east no Sabi politics cos we no vote for Them. Make them go meet the 2023 choristers - Afonjas and the ever useless our oyel SS.

We the Igbos no dey talk too much. Na sidon look we dey do una

Enjoy your new Ruga LGA

brenister10:
Not like our footballers and other sport men who after spending few years in Europe start faking accent. E.g Mikel Obi

thank goodness u mentioned Mikel. That guy is just not it at allll. Imagine boy wey grow for naija dey form nonsense. Boy wey dey chop Hausa back in the days dey form like say e no dey shiit now. Dey do like say to speak pidgin na abomination.

That's why Okocha and Kanu go remain legends. Them accent thick pass close up. For that reason the average Nigerian feels these guys repp us wella

Yolobar cone heads at it again. If I say A you say FON another man say JA omo na you sabi

Please drop the link to the telegram group.

How much for this? I'm interested

emychukwu:
We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has not been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do for his native South South and yet failed. If you think you can please Nigeria, then you have another thing coming.

Look at Benue people, they received the greatest visit of deaths from this government. But they'd rather die some more than let an Igbo man smell the Vice Presidency. And tomorrow, they will also tell you Igbos don't know politics. And you will want to engage them in an argument.

Do not be disturbed when you hear them say we are not united. We have never been that kind of united people. Read our history. Even as Igbos were dying in their hundreds during the pogrom, Gen. Ojukwu, one of the first Igbo men who realized that this "forced marriage" can never work was only "permitted" to embark on the war against Nigeria by seeking the voice of every hamlet, every village and every community. He did not take unilateral decisions.

That's how decisions are taken in Igbo land. We do no alienate those who are in dissent. We do not allow one Tinubu to make decisions for some and another Saraki for others, so that our two eggs are comfortably placed in two baskets. No! We rise to the occasion wherever we are, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, sokoto. Our spirits communicate with each other and not with any leader figure and decide what is best for us. Either you respect us for getting it, or you respect us for trying. This is who we are, and we are not changing it soon. We are Igbos. Deal with it.

Written by Ugo Finian

I will repeat the last line.

WE ARE IGBOS. DEAL WITH IT.

Nwannem wherever you are, I must find you and buy you a bottle of whatever it is you take.

You have spoken like a true Nwa afò. The spirit of cowardice does not dwell in us. We are risk averse, we are confident, we are enterprising, we are educated we are IGBOS.
