Umahi has made the most honest truth,Nsukka too is marginalised by igbos and will never be part of Biafra.
Only the useless cursed and worthless terrorist infested Anambra state is rooting for the kind stupid Biafra when we know how worse they are compared to an Hausa person.

An Hausa or Yoruba will treat you far better than a fellow igbo will treat you. Biafra is already a cursed state before it started.

If you're from Nsukka or Ebonyi and you're dying for Biafra then you died for nothing.

Nonsense and Peter Obi's loot

Basic123:
Ojukwu released him in igbo oral myths and tales by moon light.


wole soyinka went to jail because of biafra,After the war,all regions declared their properties as abandoned properties except southwest who returned the properties to them.Yet,they decided to hate the same people and called wole soyinka mad professor in 2013.Stupid diabolical and arrogant set of people.

konoplyanka:
He made some points and some gibberish too.

1. Igbo's planned the first coup due to loss of influence. Making rubbish of recent Igbo denial.

2. Igbo's wanted one Nigeria at all cost because their land is too tiny and they want to dominate others.
3. They went to war when they realised they can not dominate as they thought.
4. Yoruba's has always been against one Nigeria

debetmx:
Obasanjo never supported biafra. For any reason Yoruba officers had been bypassed during the promotion promo by Aguiyi Ironsi for ibo and ibo speaking Officers. Victor Banjo had sent Wole Soyinka to Obasanjo to seek free passage to Lagos for a fee because there was no way the ill trained and equipped biafra forces could get to Lagos without being crushed but Obasanjo rejected the offer. It's totally condemnable that biafran propagandists, the cantankerous coward and even unborn ibos have accused Banjo of treachery. Victor Banjo at any point never supported secession which he showed in his speech to the Mid-West, words and deeds. Victor Banjo had stayed in the State House with ojukwu but moved out when the cantankerous coward declared secession. ojukwu probably chose Victor Banjo to lead the suicide expedition to Lagos so as to have him (Banjo) killed, which he finally succeeded by accusing of planning a coup. God bless Victor Banjo he took the bullet with his chest buffed out. That is an example of a man died for what he believed in.

Governor Adebayo Adeyinka was pro- Federal and never supported secession and war. Awolowo initially sympathized with the biafrans until the treacherous bastard tried to occupy our land using a Yoruba Officer.

Tochi3:
You see what some southerners brought upon themselves and is affecting the not slavish southerners.

The South made them God, so it is not out of place to tell the better south to go beg God.

Jerryherd:



Fulanis and Ibos share so much similarities in Nigeria than people admit..

SouthEast. And North.. just look at the figures

apex0038:
The problem of you people not thorough in thought is the major problem. Was Baba Awolowo a military commander like Ojukwu .It is a pity. Mind Gowon released Awolowo not Ojukwu London times January 2 .Goggle it .All lies and misinformation that you people carry around to Ignorant like you .Goggle who released Awolowo from prison, Goggle will bring the original text of the newspaper for you to read

proeast:
You're absolutely right!

I was in Owerri during the 2015 elections between GEJ and Buhari and you need to see the strictness they applied here. At the end I was frustrated and couldn't vote and so were many others who would have voted GEJ. However, in the North, every human being was allowed to vote, including under age and foreigners!

It was obvious that GEJ was too timid and docile to act. He allowed Jega to tactically rig him out. The signs were already there prior to the elections but he was too scared to remove Jega. Always eager to listen and obey APC blackmails and intimidations. May we never have another weakling represent us from South and that's why we must avoid Osinbajo at all costs, dude is GEJ promax!

Response to Igbo Marginalisation by
Dr John Oni Gbolabo

Someone keeps mentioning that Igbo were marginalized in Nigeria. I was provoked to respond to him this morning. Here we go:

I want anybody with iota of sincerity to nullify my points one by one:

1. In 1959 to 63 Igbo NCNC preferred to team with Hausa NPC to form government then no marginalisation

2. In 1979 Igbo preferred Hausa NPN to Yoruba UPN and they preferred it to their NPP owned by Zik to form national government,then no marginalisation

3. In 1993 the Igbo preferred NRC of Hausa to SDP then no marginalisation

4. In 1993 Igbo preferred Hausa SDP to AD of Yoruba to form national government,then no marginalisation

5. All along Igbo and Hausa had always been the main national government then no marginalisation.

6. Yoruba had never been in the national party since independence yet Yoruba didn't complain of marginalisation but rather maintain their regional party because Yoruba don't feel inferior neither play victim card.

7. This is the first time Yoruba party will be at the federal and Igbo that had been with federal party are crying marginalisation. It's a pity that assumed educated persons cannot reason to know these facts.

8. Yoruba formed political party and stay with it. From Action Group AG to UPN to AD to AC to ACN to APC and Yoruba didn't merge with Hausa party. Hausa formed NPC to become NPN to NRC to PDP. Igbo formed NCNC to merge with NPN to reemerge as NPP and faction to APGA to merge with PDP �

9. Igbo formed NCNC but merged with NPC of Hausa NPC in 1966, formed NPP by Zik but merged with NPN formed APGA but merged with NRC formed APGA but merged with PDP. Last election some Igbo wore APGA vests and campaign for PDP then no marginalisation.

10. Under Jonathan no Yoruba among the first 17 posts in Nigeria from DSS to aviation to finance to CBN to Maritime to defense then there was no marginalisation.

11. You voted for Jonathan we voted for Buhari, you overwhelmingly voted for Atiku we voted for Buhari. Suddenly some bastards are calling Yoruba Fulani slaves as if Atiku is from another planet.

12. You collect allocation from federal government,you have governors,you have senators, you have reps and chairmen all collecting money from federal purse, you have ambassadors etc yet you are marginalized.

13. You are appointed to political posts in southwest but no single person from Yoruba in your cabinet in all the five Igbo states yet you were marginalized.

14. 90% of your assets are on another man's soil yet you were marginalized.

15. Yoruba chose Tinubu as their political leader you said your culture doesn't permit leadership yet you abuse Tinubu daily that he enslaved Yoruba because you want Yoruba to jettison their culture of leadership like you as you don't recognize leaders. Is that the healing balm of your marginalisation?

15. Tinubu never worked with Federal government talk less of stealing what belongs to Igbo states,why are you people receiving remote pain from Yoruba who didn't complain of Tinubu enslavement?

16. You are threatening to go and nobody stops your from going to Biafra. Lucky you, almost all long distance playing vehicles are owned by Igbo. Why don't you go home for Christmas and refuse to come back and see how Nigerians will suffer

17. You prefer to attack APC and Tinubu for all problems from Igbo but never talked that same allocations your governors collect is what other states collect and query how they use it.

18. Almost all Igbo elites and politicians have houses in southwest but never ask why same doesn't apply to Yoruba and Hausa to invest in your lands.

19. Kanu was threatening to kill all Yoruba and Hausa calling Buhari a rapist and all other sickening names you didn't caution him but when arrested you cry to hell.

20. You are paying tax to Kanu to buy arms but during Covid 19 crisis you are looking unto same Buhari ���. How senseless.

21. Kanu himself is using Nigerian passport, spending Nigeria currency but selling Biafra passport for you���

22. He didn't raise funds to address the underdevelopment you cry of but raising funds to buy arms? To fight who didn't say he should not go to his town ��

23. You labor for PDP but wanted APC to feature your candidate for presidency. How can someone work in First Bank and collect salary in Gtbank?

24. IPOB keeps attacking government at the same time you are demanding presidential ticket.

It's a pity, my people perish for lack of knowledge !!!

bjdon:
This us we in the SS will NEVER support a SW president in 2023. If the SE are not given the chance, then it should remain in the North. The SW must not be allowed to profit from imposing Buhari on us.

SirBlack999:
This regime could have been avoided if not for Lagos Intellectuals. I remember one tweeting something that goes like; 'Buhari imprisoned my father, but I'll vote for him because he's a reformed Democrat'.

Lastly, it will never be well with them

Verysmart101:
Can it survive without ndiigbo? These benin republic port are being patronised majorly by ndiigbo.85% of goods imported into Nigeria through tincan and apapa warf are ndiigbo.75% of building structures in Lagos are owned by ndiigbo which ndiigbo provides majority of land use charge for Lagos.And the list goes on.Lagos cannot survive without ndiigbo take it or leave it

OneTemplate:
What truth? Lagos was left for dead before Tinubu took over in 1999. I am a Lagosian.

The FG abandonded Lagos and left the State to her fate in the rush to move everything to the North, via Abuja, same way Nigeria myopically abandoned cocoa etal once oil was discovered.

It was the administrative brilliance of Tinubu that rescued Lagos and made her what she is today.

That is why Western administrators, the true arbiters of African leadedship, always visit and spend time with Tinubu while shunning other leaders in Nigeria.

They respect him massively for what he has achieved even if we enjoy lying to ourselves in Nigeria and fail to give credit where due because of ethno-religious bias against others.

Even before they arrive Lagos they have already read one of the many case studies in their home nation about the exemplary transformation of Lagos under BAT.

You people should fear God when you tell these lies about Lagos thriving because she is a former capital.

Same Lagos that was filth and crime-ridden before BAT took over? Same Lagos that had no sanity and was a glorified jungle pre-1999?

The worst lies are those we tell ourselves.

If you think you really have the population that sustains Lagos, when States starts VAT collection, use that population to your advantage and generate taxes from them.

Bunch of leeches

Enugupikin:
There is some sense in what he is saying ,Lagos can't stand alone without the rest of Nigeria. Those corporate headquarters too and the ports and all that stems from the Nigerian people

Jaqenhghar:
What is so sophisticated about throwing money around?
They know that the southerners with all their education and claim to sophistication are just dogs. Throw them a bone and they will fall in line and even attack their own who refuse to bow.

othermen:
The northerners are so sophisticated when it comes to politics. Tinubu, Osinbajo, Saraki, Oshiomole, Rochas, Obasanjo, Adeboye, your ooni and alaafin and all the rest... are just pawns. Even when a southerner emerges as the president, it is only at the pleasure of the north, because they will it.

zombieHUNTER:
Japa?.. when East is overpopulated

ChangedMan1999:
Have you noticed that Ndigbo hardly open a thread about Yorubas in nairaland

eastgates1:
This is not true please provide the link of the article as there was never a time in our history that the north financed the economy of nigeria.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian from the south, I think we southerners are been insensitive with our decision to collect VAT directly to our respective states. The north on record once financed the economy of Nigeria with agriculture and other resources before the discovery of oil in the south. Is this the best way to pay back the north for all their sacrifices for our dear nation? How can we expect a northern region ravaged by banditry and terrorism to generate huge VAT like our peaceful South? Why can't we be our brothers keeper for the sake of the survival of our dear country? It amazes me that a southern region dominated by we Christians fails to follow the bible comandment of loving our neighbors as ourselves. Its unfortunate that we are letting greed becloud our sense of jugdement on this matter. I would advice the federal government to use Veto power to over rule any court judgment on state collection of VAT. Any state that insist on collecting VAT should have their governor removed through state of emergency. Nonsense

Pierocash:
Ndi oshi. Check the Constitution well,you will discover that we don't even need any new Constitution. You will be shocked to discover that the states have all Constitutional backup for resource control and restructuring many are championing without them even knowing that these laws are there

Once this VAT is finally laid to rest in favour of the state,a new Nigeria is born. No more banditry,no more terrorism because he who plays the pipe ,dictates the tune.


This will break the power of the FG over states

Useless leeches

AlabiJ:
You igbos are pathetic. You never accept responsibility for your shortcomings and failures. Always blaming external factors. If it's not lack of seaports, it'll be marginalization, or other crap. There are states that don't have Onitsha and Aba-type markets in Nigeria that are doing better than your states in both IGR and VAT generation and collection. Yet you people still try to claim the sweat of the states that are proactive in their internal revenue generation efforts. Una dey ment.

The seaports excuse has long been proven over and over to be a blatant lie. There are functional seaports in Rivers State that you people can use but you choose not to use them, yet you blame others for your economic underperformance.

Look inwards and ask yourself whether your governors are the ones eating/stealing your IGR and VAT taxes and failing to declare them transparently, or whether your traders just don't like paying taxes, instead of always looking to blame outsiders for your own underperformance. Y'all make me sick.

EndBuhariNow:
he wanted yellowbar nation and he starved 2 million children to death because of promises his fulani masters made to him.. continue

ajl:


See this kind people. We are talking about VAT, and now people like you with narrow mindset is talking about Igbo businesses being responsible for large portion of VAT in Lagos. They can as well move the businesses to their state if they have a need to show off that.

proeast:
The more you try to make sense, the more your limited IQ keeps making a mess of you. You keep talking bla bla bla without any iota of sense, Ogun state today has a high IGR which is hundred percent due to its proximity to Lagos, otherwise it wouldn't have been any different from your other states.

Since you have formula for high IGR, why is Ekiti still dragging last with Northern states? Ebonyi State that was created same time with Ekiti has left it in the dust already yet you're making noise.

Ndi Ara!!!

Foreigna2:
Not just seaports, you need enabling infrastructure. That is how you lot were shouting for international airport in the East. They gave you, why are you still running to Lagos?
There is a port in Onne, use it.

Grupo:
Lol. You are naive.

Without one Nigeria, most of the companies that are in Lagos boosting Lagos IGR will not be there.

IOCs will not have their headquarters in Lagos. Their headquarters will be in Biafra.

Most multinationals will not have their headquarters in Lagos.

Most importantly, Lagos seaport wouldn't have been the only one in the country.
