bolaayenimo: Babajide Ogunsanwo, Channels television data analyst said Yobe state alone is bigger than all the five states in the South East combined.. That means Yobe is bigger than Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.
No wonder they call you folks Sophisticated morons. What terms? You have no liver and backbone to fight for your liberation. That's why Hausa/Fulani has been cleaning their ass with Yorubas. In the last 50 years, Arewa North has abused, insulted, disgraced, killed, slaughtered and murdered Yorubas. Yet the best you can offer is: Yorubas will leave Nigeria on their own terms. What a chicken- hearted people!
Is04970: Yoruba will leave Nigeria on their own terms. Secession with Nnamdi Kanu and is fellow betrayals could be dangerous. The video here is of an Igwe betraying his colleagues on the media Shame. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1dJZEdMOvE
proeast: If it were any other ethnic group that were at the receiving end of that unfortunate civil war, they would have been done for. Consider this, by 1970 when the war ended. Our economy was wiped out, cities destroyed, bank accounts made useless and all. Yet a few years later, the Igbos were able to bounce back, even without any form of government assistance! It is interesting to note that virtually all the billionaires in Igboland today, are first generation. That is to say, they all became rich through their own personal efforts and not inheritance.
The enterprenuel, adventurous and can-do spirit of the Igbos, coupled with a culture and tradition that gives everyone equal opportunity, is the biggest asset of the Igbos.
Thank you my brother. What is your ethnic nationality?
dangermouse: True talk. I give it to the Igbos for thier bussines foresight and doggedness. A neigbour (not igbo), who owns an almost empty shop but has 24\7 free supply of light from a cold room next block, but was always cash strapped had her fortunes turned arround by a simple advice from an igbo man who also owns a building material shop nearby. The advice? Construct a mutiple switch board and start charging phones for people at 50 naira per full battery charge. The woman makes more than 3k daily from doing this and is ever grateful to him. Today she has one of the biggest provision stores arround by being mentored by the igbo man. The old widow still charges phones till date as it was what turned her fortunes arround. Igbos sees bussines oppourtinities where others fail to see it. I equally state without shame today that 70% of what i am today, was from ideas from my igbo friends. Embrace them and stop hating them out of jealousy.
Wolgrace: It's all about the rewards for their allegiance.. 2015 till date, they have been promoting the players of the game on southerners to gain and retain power.
-2023 is the next game to feast on.. Yorubas are cowards and actionless noisy lions..
Hope your ethnic nationality will lead the fight to liberate the south. Southern Nigeria sold themselves for short and into Arewa North slavery when they aligned with the Hausa/Fulani to fight Biafra.
You crying over spilled milk.
okuta007: exactly - we are not equally yoked - southern Nigeria is in an abusive relationship and only southern Nigeria can free herself from it
brightdestiny96: 200 million unharnessed, disempowered, disunited, misruled, oppressed people? Colonized from within, polarized by militant religion, plagued by rulers beating the drums of war and unconcernedly picking their teeth while violent and merciless marauders spill blood like water, with vanishing annual budgets and spiralling debt profiles? Did I forget a vocal band of praise singers who are paid peanuts?
Let's tell ourselves the truth before it's too late.
Which IT experts or medical experts?Where are they?
Olominira: So because Obama visited Ghana, that has made Ghana more influential than Nigeria? Nonsense!
Even though Nigeria is currently at the bottom of all times, no Africa country is more influential. From our entertainment, positions at UN, IT experts, medical etc no other African nation can match that output.
Nigeria influence is growing and tends to challenge superpowers in the future, the reason why western media even those from Asia are not reporting anything good about the nation. We don't care about Obama and whatever he represents.
This person should focus on the biggest truth, it's USA that loosing her influence so fast not Nigeria
How did you arrive at the 200 million? You response shows JennIfer's is populated by dullards.
favor914: Nigeria a mockery? Only poor people say that, You are very ignorant, do you know what it is to have 200 million people in a region, Nigeria’s Population makes over half of West Africa, Obama chose to go to Ghana good luck to him, Lagos Economy alone, & GDP is bigger than Ghana’s.
okocha55: Greetings my Naija brothers, the time has come to put an end to this current Nigeria we cannot stand once more. My brothers from Lagos, Abuja, to Jigawa, we must all unite and change this land for once. Must end corruption in this land so we can prosper as d great Nigerians deserve. One day we shall shine and show world what we really are capable.
If we can unite we can do this, we must be strong. Come together and hope and fight for strong future for Nigeria, we can.
We know d great potential of Nigeria unachieved. We deserve much better. We d best athlete in the world, it is only matter of time for only not Nigeria to rise, but also in football. Our future with great hope be strong, I see d greatness for Nigeria, and World Cup titles in our future. D best athletes in all land, our time is due. Stay strong brothers, one day soon we can achieve.
You wake up in the morning and before you go to bed; and your pre-occupation and most important issue that task your intelligence and time is Ndigbo - rather than the existential crisis that confronts you ethnic nationality.
What a waste of time and intellect!
Osaze007: What were they planning to do ? How would they have shared resources as they were the poorest region in Nigeria then
Maxymilliano: The only approved protests by the Buhari led government are protest against groups such as Amnesty International and any other groups calling for transparency and accountability.
Such approved protest don't require police permit as it enjoys tacit endorsement of the government.
The modus operandi is to heckle and attack any groups or persons that dare question the activities of the government, with active connivance of security agencies.
Are people from the north not enriching themselves on the wealth of entire Nigerians?
]oquote author=Nbotee post=92436857]Ppl do not know it is d gold mining in zamfara dat is thriving with the distraction of bandits and herdsmen... The problem isn't about who controls what but about the intentions of the individuals who claim to b fighting for their ppl.. D recent revelations in the NDDC is proof that selfish ppl from the region will continue to enrich demselves while blaming the north[/quote]
What is the relevance of Biafra in this write-up? Why inject Biafra into an issue that is on-Biafean?
tutudesz: Well you can go through my post and bring out where and when I claimed to be yoruba You are free to call us what ever name suit you whether Niger Deltans South South Fulani Yoruba, but one name that we will never accept is Biafrans Stop using that fake Photoshop picture
With all your intelligence, education and exposure ' is that all your takeaway from the insightful statement Sowere made?
You are really..... really underwhelming and pedestrian.
MinorityOpinion: While their elders are begging for mercy to be president, their ignorant kids are causing mayhem on social media, abusing people left and right when una go get sense?
Gjrich: Founder, Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) and Secretary, Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), Evang. Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, has berated Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari for ‘abandoning’ the country to go to Mali in search of peace when his own country is beset by worse crisis.
Uko who registered his displeasure with Buhari’s handling of ongoing killings in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the country in a statement on Saturday, regretted that the president has failed to show leadership while the country dances on the brink.
“Mr President just returned from Mali, where he went to broker peace over political differences in that country.
“For five straight days in Kajuri and other local government councils in southern Kaduna, innocent men, women and children are daily slaughtered while they sleep, by rampaging Fulani herdsmen. Gory photos of their badly mutilated corpses are currently awash online,” he said.
“Katsina and other North west states are boiling, whole communities sacked by armed gangs, as the hapless residents run into the bushes.
“The North east remains Boko haram territory, as military formations are not spared by the bloodthirsty vermin. They kill our soldiers weekly, even as the morale of our soldiers remains low, over the performance of the non performing over-stayed service chiefs.
Few days ago, 5 aide workers were gruesomely murdered in a horrific video trending online.
“Okene -Lokoja road has become kidnappers haven. The horror of Lagos to Abuja travellers. Ajaokuta-Lokoja axis has also become impassable. Kidnappers shoot, abduct, rape and slaughter Nigerians unchallenged.
“Illegal mining of solid minerals thrive in the North, mostly run by Chinese Mafia. Every body looks the other way. Our country is drifting.
“All over the country, armed robbers and kidnappers hold sway from the Niger Delta, through the South east, down to the South west. Nigerians cannot sleep with both eyes closed.
“But our President found time to visit Mali, to settle political disagreement amongst top Malian politicians. For how long would traumatised Nigerians watch in consternation?” he wondered.
Uko who is also Deputy Secretary, Igbo Leaders of Thought ILT, noted that corruption under the present government has reached unprecedented levels, as officials revel in mindless stealing of public funds while the masses wallow in poverty.
“The politicos have been entertaining and shocking citizens this penultimate week. Reeling from the ruling party’s leadership battle, EFCC, and NDDC drama exposed the rot in the system, in a bizarre and embarrassing manner,” he said.
“Citizens are shocked at the mindless looting and daylight robbery going on under the watch of Mr Integrity. Only God knows what mindboggling discovery, searchlight on NNPC, FIRS or CBN will unearth. We can be sure that very many actors will collapse and pass out during questioning. Nigeria cannot work this way.
“Weddings and all sorts of celebrations by the children of top Government officials in this season of hardship, sorrow and despair, reek of offensive opulence and mindless display of unearned easy money. This provocative display of excess cash runs contrary to the promises General Buhari reeled out as he ran his campaign five and half years ago. Did we enter one chance vehicle?
“For how long do we stand aside and look? Our leaders have ran out of ideas. The economy is certainly heading towards a recession. The dollar, today exchanges at an all time high. Unemployment keeps rising, poverty keeps increasing, our politicians are busy shouting it’s OK, it’s OK, off the mic. For how long? Silence of the lambs.
“Juxtaposing the current pitiable condition of the citizens with the grand promises flown five and half years ago, is simply heart rending. Insecurity, poverty, hunger and hardship rule the land. It is clear the ruling party is overwhelmed. The opposition party also seems confused. Silence in the land, suggests folks may have given up on Nigeria. Our country can’t grow this way.
“Painful, our image terribly battered abroad. Our young men die daily in the deserts of North Africa as they struggle to migrate to better climes by road. Theirs organs harvested and sold. So many of them in foreign jails even as many more dream of travelling out to escape the unfriendly environment.
“There are well over a hundred thousand trapped Nigerian young females hawking their bodies as prostitutes all over the world and another hundred thousand held as sex slaves, in Arab countries, their government is not bothered one bit.
“The lifestyle of politicians encourages sleaze. Nobody batts an eyelid. Unique Nigeria, where over 90% of the Abuja billionaires don’t have any source of livelihood to backup their stupendous wealth. Except being close to the corridors of power, either as a government official, ex official or influence peddler. For how long would we live this way? For how long?
“Everybody knows the 1999 constitution and the unitary structure practiced today encourages a lot of bad behaviour from our political leaders. What are we waiting for to reconstruct the structure of the country and move Nigeria forward? The unitary structure can no longer carry the edifice. Nigeria is at cross roads, only the truth can save Nigeria now.
“For how much longer, do we have to continue the self deception and false hope?Our country isn’t working and will never work this way. What are we waiting for?
“Delay in restructuring Nigeria is a great disservice to the fatherland. Which is why I plead with Nigerians from every region, to identify with and support the recent call by the Yoruba summit group for all, to join hands and drive the early restructuring of Nigeria in order to save Nigeria. Time is running out.”
If Nigeria is not a model with all the trillions at their disposal, why do you expect Niger-Delta to be a model?
IspitonCowards: The Niger Delta should be a model region in Nigeria now,. With all the resources at their disposal the masses are yet to feel any meaningful difference
It is very ... very easy to speak from a place of comfort!
SmartProf: Its very easy to speak English and become a Motivational speaker from a place of comfort. Nigerians don't need speeches but a proper country, where opportunities abound to succeed.
