Indeed an exposition

Amarabae:
wow, what an exposition!

Please are you Yoruba?

jerseyboy:
Igbo won't

Only the Yoruba can divide Nigeria because they have lost the most and stand to gain the most from independence, Their land is rich and strategic. Their culture is rich and dynamic. Most importantly the Yoruba elite unlike the Igbo are confident and fully on board with the agitation. Igbo elite have become too comfortable with Nigeria. They fear the loss of Lagos and Abuja and are jealous and afraid of the success Oduduwa will be instantly. Igbo youths on the other hand are rightly confident of Biafra but cannot carry their leadership along.

Noisemakers

Charmingrascal:
Certainly you can't get sovereignty through bullying, hate speech and hate filled campaigns.

You don't need to get people killed there is always a diplomatic way of doing it.
You don't boast that you will sacrifice your people just to get sovereignty.

Oduduwa Nation will come and no blood will be shed!
All that is needed is unity of purpose.

What is your beef with the East?

Golan007:
They don't even deserve sand to fortify their erosion ravaged land in the east.

In 6 years, they have "outperformed" PDP

cuteboy2:
And what has APC given you apart from poverty capital of the world, huge suffocating loans, multiple fuel price increases, electricity tariff hikes, VAT increases, POS transaction levy of N50, bank transfer fee hikes, waterways appropriation, land seizures under false pretense of cattle colony and RUGA, levies of every description, galloping inflation, highest unemployment rate in history of Nigeria, kidnappings, herdsmen killings, nepotism, unbridled corruption and stuffing of babanriga with bundles of dollar notes which was defended by Buhari, etc, etc?

And they have managed to achieve all these in just 6 short years.

You and all those who defend this monumental failure in governance are truly shameless.

Those easterners are compound fools!

Rugaria:
Meanwhile Buhari told eastern leaders that there is no money to biuld just one single rail track across eastern Nigeria! And there are still some easterners who fervently believe in this evil contraption

Your analogy of Nigeria's successes in Disapora and Lagos State is dead wrong. It is the zenith of false comparison.

Philipponzaghi:
No that’s rubbish. The best when they are in their states never built it but came to Lagos to harness part of the prosperity.

Let me give you a great example.
Most Nigerians abroad always make it because the land is productive and they can harness the economic prosperity of the area they are like USA, UK, and etc.

We wouldn’t say Nigeria made those countries because we are living there, yes we are part of those that make it up but we won’t say we made the country but INSTEAD the COUNTRY MADE US!

Now coming back to the analogy of Lagos, she made those guys that left their states for a good life and not the other way round!

Your post is drunkenly misleading. Are you Seun the founder of Nairaland.com?

seunmsg:
Nothing in my post is misleading. All I have said is the truth. Mention one state that is better governed than Lagos in Nigeria?

Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom etc are as rich as Lagos. PDP has been governing those states since 1999 with little or nothing to show for it in terms of modern development and transformation.

Rivers, Delta, Anambra and Abia also have the potential to generate as much internal revenue as Lagos but no, the PDP rulers are only interested in stealing oil allocations and not improving the states.

As for Ebonyin, the comparison based on revenue alone is illogical. What is the population of Ebonyin? If the population that the Lagos state government has to deal with is the population size of Ebonyin, the state would look like Dubai today. With over 25million people to provide for, the state is still better governed than Ebonyin with less than 2million people.

Why do assert that Balewa never said that?

Arrewa:
Lies Belewa never said that!

I have no problem with any ipob spreading propaganda on Nairaland.

But pls you don't have to lie.

Allow our heroes to rest in peace... Stop trying to paint them black just because you want to energize your fellowers.

Igbos murderd this man and yet you don't want him to rest.

Concocting fake history won't give you Biafra.

Trying to paint Tafawa belewa black won't give you Biafra.

I will always be here to expose your lies and fallacy

Absolutely.

sparog:
What this country needs is stable power supply and industrial revolution... We need real industries that'll provide jobs for people, every other thing will fall into place even with the corruption the country is facing.

What is your problem with Ndigbo? How do you know he's lying?

Pimpmaride:
Liars..

I'm sure they didn't pay the money... They Wana gain sympathy again instead of them to find a solution..


Media sympathy wunt help u in Ghana.... Nigeria is a zoo like we hear.... How can the zoo help now??


Come back home brother.... We all die here


Infact all Nigerians in diaspora, come back home. Oooo.

We miss u


It started from Lagos then China, happened in the North, it happened in South Africa and now Ghana..

The Chinese, yorubas, northerner, South Africans and Ghanians are jealous of we Igbos.. We are the best tribe in Africa and That is why most nations are jealous of US...

Igbo kwenu

Are Yorubas not crying? Are you and your kinsmen insulated from the tragedy that Nigeria has become? The best analogy to enscapulate your thought is the case of a house slave calling the field slave a slave.

The former does not understand that he isn't better off 'cause a slave is a slave - regardless of the position.

IgboSomalia:
The day Malami was talking nonsense, Tinubu made his position known and the Attorney General of the Federation was forced to obey.
The highest position ever attained by your people is what Tinubu is nominating people into.

The day Tinubu supports Biafra, you would get it. Till then, keep crying like bushbabies.

Have you noticed that ethnic nationality( Hausa-Fulani) who wanted war ended up fighting the war least while the ethnic nationality( Yoruba) that rejected war fromm the outset ended fighting the war most - and in fact they were the difference maker.

How do you explain this reversal of roles?

Why did Yoruba of Nigeria fight the Nigeria -Biafra War?

Your response will be appreciated.

Brugo:
The war was just what it was- a war. I repeat. It was not a pogrom or genocide.

Only a suicidal maniac would ginger his people into a war they could never win. And only a people driven by hate would listen to such a leader. The results were not surprising anyway. Nnamdi knows how to sway such people and he is fuelling your hate again. Funny thing is no one gives a hoot about you guys. You are just cohabitants in this country.

You are a dullard - with sincere apologies.

seanblaise:
As long as Africa is concerned, Nigeria is still better than any other country in this continent. We just have bad leadership and bad media. It took America more than 200years to perfect their democracy, although we will someday perfect ours, but its going to be a while longer. Have you ever wondered why in ALL action Hollywood movies you see especially when it concerns US military and middle eastern countries or war torn countries like Somalia, American soldiers ALWAYS wins? They are trying to paint a picture that their military is the best in the world. Have you also wondered why the English media over hype any White English footballer in the premier league? They are also painting a picture that they are better than others. So tge earlier Nigerian media begin to sell out positive images of Nigeria, the more the world will begin to appreciate this great country.

Tell them my brother.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I have been to more than 17 African countries and Nigeria is no where all of them are in front of us even if you look human development index 158 in the world. It is not even South Africa only you go to Botswana Namibia Kenya Zambia Ethiopia you will know that Nigeria is nothing just a shadow

Absolutely

freeborn02:
This is exactly what El rufai wants people to see him.

A snake that is good in the art of deception and diversion. Don't be deceived

Absolutely!

amuwo1980:
Nigerian security apparatus is basically for the protection of the Fulani jihadist power in Nigeria , it is not a Nigerian army in the sense of allegiance to Nigeria the country , though all the rulers of Nigeria since 1966 have been there for reasons other than nation building.
The future of the Igbo ppl can only be assured in a country of their own, time and events have shown this to be true , buhari and APC have lend credence to this .
Any Igbo man who stil believe in today’s Nigeria is just a weary fellow, beaten by the years of low intensity war against the igbos for almost half a century , because he doesn’t even know his life and emancipation from near slavery is what Biafra is

How does your personal characterization of the victims reflect the injustice that just happened?

DEROX:
This is because when you use gra gra and empty chest beating everyday of your life plus hatred to other regions they also tend to hate back and do more while in power

Is it only the military?

Racoon:
The democratically elected president that Nigeria never had.Sun re o! Fought for your mandate but so sad the military scuttled everything.

Please enumerate the divergent interest.

sageb:
you should know that SS and SE is 2 different zones and cannot be merged together. What we are agitating for is NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC and we have no association with South East. What South East is fighting for is BIAFRA and they have no association with us. We have divergent interest so don't lump us into South east interest.

Totally agree

Igbochief001:
there is only one reason ....WE ARE IGBOS .....that's enough reason

I know blame you. I blame One Nigeria. Everything that has a beginning surely has an end.

IamWonderful:
You can compare Boko Haram and IPOB, although both are terrorist groups, IpoB members are self-made delusionists why most of the Boko Haram fighters are victims of coercion and threat, they don't wish to join but we're forced, that is why US joined their rehabilitation program, why IPOB is self-inflicted delusion

You said it all!

ivandragon:
I guess this is part of the reasons they want to stifle voices.

You talk about thier incompetence, they label it hate speech;

A patriotic public servant tries to expose their thievery, they label it hate speech;

People try to protest against their failure' they label it hate speech;

You complain about killings; hate speech;

But the economy, comparatively, was far better under Jonathan.

Ceegar01:
I think Buhari is trying his best just that he inherited governance from an incompetent otuoke man who messed this country up with his gang of thieves

YOU ARE A NOISEMAKER!

Ilekeh:

Of course Igbos will mess up this thread because it's titled "Yoruba" and because they know the end is near.

They're afraid to leave Yorubaland.

They're afraid of forming their own government, of standing alone, of not having Lagos ports to embark on Malaysia journey. They're afraid, that's why Yoruba's federalism project did not passed through. Each region should be responsible for its own survival/growth.

Igbos won't have ND oil money to steal. The likes of Allison Madueke won't have money to buy Hyde park.

If Yorubas can't have federalism, then let's pull out.




Is biafra a woman or a puzzyazz negro in this picture?

There was an Adebayo of Western Region and Johnson of Lagos before Diya. There was the entire Yoruba Military officers who chickened out and allowed the North to ride rough shod over them in the 1966/67 crisis.

Dedetwo:
Before Oladipo Diya, there was one Babafemi Ogundipe who was scared out of wit by a mere sergeant.

Which silence is power? Keep redefing well-known concepts.

ThatFairGuy:
One thing you don't understand is, SILENCE is feared more than EXPLOSIVE THREAT.

You can't deduce what a SILENT MAN is up to. IT'S NOT COWARDICE

Sophisticated slowpoke! You have no shame

Ojukwu VS Yoruba Military Counterparts: Who is the Evidence-based Coward?

Evidence #1
The counter-coup by the North did not succeed in Eastern Region. It succeeded in the Western Region. Eastern Nigeria did not come under the control of Gowon dictartorship until the collapse of Biafra in January 1970. On the other hand, Western Region fell, like a pack of cards, to the hands of Northern Nigerian Army.

Evidence #2
Ojukwu vehemently rejected the hijack of power by the Hausa/Fulani and refused to recognize Gowon as the legitimate Head of State. He insisted on military order of succession and the emergence of Ogundipe as the rightful successor to Ironsi. When the north refused he said Bleep YOU and declared Eastern Region liberation from the Northern Nigeria enslavement. He led Biafra for 30-months while your kinsmen were eating AMALA AND EWEDU. He left two days before the collapse of Biafra.

Evidence #3
Your Kinsman and Yoruba general Brigadier Ogundipe had no liver to condemn Northern hijack of power. He humiliated and hounded out of the country by Northern soldiers. They imposed Gowon, his junior on Southern Nigeria. Instead of challenging them and raising an opposition from London where he self-exiled, he again chickened out for the second time and instead shamelessly accepted the position of Nigeria High Commissioner to UK and became a spokesman for the very government headed by Gowon that humiliated him and denied him his rightful position. Only a Yorubaman will accept to become a obedient slave to a man that raped his wife and took his property.

Evidence #4
Two other Yoruba officers (Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey and Adeyinka Adebayo) were ahead of Gowon and were next in line of succession to Ogundipe. Similarly, the Northern officers told them "Bleep YOU & Bleep OFF" and imposed Gowon on them. Adebayo and the entire Yoruba Military lined up behind the Northern Military like a lamp to the slaughter in the Nigerian-Biafra War - a war which the Hausa/FulanI fought for the enthronement of Hausa/Fulani hegemony while their Yoruba counterparts were used as disposable tools.

The statement that best encapsulates the question Who is a coward between Yoruba and Ndigbo of Nigeria is Emiliano Zapata Salazar's (the general of the southern Mexican revolutionary army. Also, the main leader of the peasant revolution in the state of Morelos, and the inspiration of the agrarian movement called Zapatista:

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees”

helinues:
We could see where bravery led people from upper Iweka bridge to.. That was why they wasted millions of innocent people, when they could have avoided the civil war by all means..

We have seen where bravery led , Usain Bolt Master, Lamidi Kanu , to by sacrificing his innocent members for his selfish gains when the Python visited.

Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast
Kanu fled to Ghana

Brave master, we are really learning from your bravery.

What is the thrust of your post?

tribalmall:
The funny thing about foolish n demented Igbos like you are was nurtured from the womb with irredeemable bigotry, chronic hate n endemic foolishness is complaining about the same hate you have been nurtured with right from the womb or how else do one explain igbo claiming the world hate but won't mention a thing about those you hate ?!

How is Nigeria richer?

BigTableShaker:
Nigeria is richer bro.
