Igbos in general are the scum of the earth. Shameless fraudulent two-faced scumbags. I’m glad they’ve showed us their true colours

A hypocrite is someone who accuses others the sins that he commits in triple proportion. Are Yorubas not fraudulent and two-faced?

KingJa:

You suffer from selective amnesia and myopia.

In the infant stage of Nigeria, Igbos formed a government with the Balewa government at the detriment of the other south.

Why don't use your intelligence to ask why Awolowo's offer to form the post-independent government with Zik's NCNC failed? Why don't you research who and what caused the failure rather than regurgitating lazy statements?

Sammy07:
North and Igbos have been voting and helping each other Since 1960..

In fact it's safe to say, Northern and Easterners destroyed this country.

North --- through Government
East --- through aligning with North to vote them in.

Igbos voted for Atiku because you have always voted for Fulanis since the inception of Nigeria.

—In the infant stage of Nigeria, Igbos formed a government with the Balewa government at the detriment of the other south.

—1979, Igbos formed a government with Shagari even when Awolowo was on the ballot- did the Yorubas scream betrayal?

—1983, Igbos voted Shagari again against Awolowo and even Ojukwu campaigned openly for Shagari - Yorubas just forge on

—1993, Igbos voted majorly for Tofa against a fellow southerner MKO- the Yorubas don’t scream betrayal

—1999, Igbos voted for OBJ (favored mostly by the North) and neglected Falae the Yoruba choice

—Yoruba only voted the Northerner in 2015 and Igbos started crying over the media of betrayal. What betrayal? Is it not a democracy anymore?

Is it only southern unity when the Igbos dictate the terms? Where is the acclaimed southern unity since 1960?

Igbos are the greatest hypocrites in Nigeria. I have always told the Yorubas on here never to succumb to your pity tactics.

You folks just make careless statement ( If he had been allowed to run the country..........)

Why don't you focus your attention on investigating who did not allow him to run the country? Was he primarily responsible for his inability to rule Nigeria? Did he personally empower his enemies, via his political actions, who ultimately prevented him from running the country.

These are the questions you need to ask rather than just regurgitating uncritical statements.

KingJa:
A true visionary. If he had been allowed to run this country back then, we would all be enjoying free healthcare and our children free education. I’m sure Nigerians would be experiencing a much stable power supply.

Who made the statement? You or Minority Opinion? Thanks

Adiola:
if you want to die young , believe a Yoruba man men these people can lie both old and young and the worst of it all is after lying they will force themselves into believing it.if lying is the only criterion for missing out heaven believe me these people won't near the streets of heaven

"Chief Awolowo understood the differences in Nigeria but prioritize the unity of Nigeria, no wonder he stood with Nigeria at critical time when if he did otherwise, this great nation would have been history.... Thank you Chief Awolowo for believing in the unity of Nigeria"

What is the morbid fascination with Nigerian UNITY? Why is that we never hear of Liberian UNITY, Ghanaian UNITY, Sierre Leone UNITY or Togo UNITY? Only the empty phrase called NIgerian UNITY. You should interrogate deeply the true meaning of Nigerian UNITY? Is the current Nigerian UNITY the type and substance of Nigerian UNITY Awolowo fought for? If Awolowo were to come back to live, would he sincerely declare that the current Nigerian UNITY is the unity he fought for?

Awolowo did so much for the South West like his counterparts in Northern and Eastern Nigerian. The only time Awolowo served politically at the national level was as Federal Commissioner of Finance and Vice Chairman o Federal Executive Council and more importantly, defacto President under Gowon's military dictatorship and Nigeria-Biafra War. On the face of it, he fought for Nigerian UNITY but remove all the encomiums and patroitism-tinged narrative, he strange decision to align with the north, his erstwhile political enemies, was driven by political opportunism for himself and his Yoruba ethnic group - not by justice, equity and fairness.

(Un)fortunately, man proposes but God disposes. He died, according to Ojukwu, the best president Nigeria never had. His Yoruba ethnic group are worse, economically and politically, in today's One Nigeria than what they were during his reign

sarrki:
Many non Progressive elements always think we adore Awolowo for political reasons. Far from Facts. He, it was, who brought FREE EDUCATION to Nigeria via SW. It was him that brought the First Television Station to Africa. He brought Free Health Services, He gave the children of the poor education, he turned farmers to wealthy people. He built the first tallest building in Nigeria called Cocoa House, he injected energy into Odua Investment..... Even his haters benefitted directly from his politics. He was a rare individual....

Chief Awolowo understood the differences in Nigeria but priotize the unity of Nigeria, no wonder he stood with Nigeria at critical time when if he did otherwise, this great nation would have been history.... Thank you Chief Awolowo for believing in the unity of Nigeria, no wonder the name of his party in the second republic was UNITY PARTY OF NIGERIA.... He believed in the unity and coming together of all Progressives in all zones and parties. He knew that good people were scattered just like bad people too, he believed that Nigeria's greatness is not in her breaking up but in the coming together of all Progressives.... He predicted this during his last birthday that "A time will come when good people from all parties will come together and save Nigeria".... He also believed that for this to come to pass Yoruba have a big role to play being people with deepest progressive roots, therefore, he called upon them to unite and love one another. He said NOONE should cry for him, instead love yourselves and stop politics of bitterness.

Ibrahim Babangida through a speech delivered by Sani Abacha at Awo's funeral said "Since 1956, the politics of Nigeria has been about two issues which are Whether you're for Chief Awolowo or You're against him".... Emeka Ojukwu described him as "the best President that never was...".... Those who know lion know he doesn't need a knife to cut a Buffalo into pieces!!!! Awo na una PAPA!

WHEN a foundation is laid upon Truth, the legacy will be everlasting!!! Ebenezer Obey said and I quote "When Awolowo was alive, he stood on the Truth, they insulted him in his presence, they insulted him in his absence, yet he stood on the truth"....

A o ni gbagbe re titi, A o ni gbagbe re titi, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO.... Eweso Ijebu, gbogbo Omo Alaare mo nki yin, e ku ara Fera ku, gbogbo Omo Oduduwa mo ma nki yin, ALL PROGRESSIVES IN NIGERIA, mo nki yin o..... May BABA Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo's soul continue to rest in peace..

You have time and energy to engage these mentally retarded commnetators who suffer from toddler-level logical reasoning.

All the personalities, dead or alive, who fought against Ojukwu and Biafra - particularly those from the south - regretted their civil war stance stance less than three decades after when the realities of post-Biafra Nigeria under the hegemonic hold of Arewa North.

The dead ones died with overwhelming regret and disillusionment over their action in the fake war of unity which has turned out to be a war to entrench Arewa North hegemony.

The ones alive have become wailers and town criers of political restructuring. They will depart like their fellow war contemporaries with the same regret and shame.

Ojukwu and Biafrans are having the last laugh on Nigerians. Ojukwu lived to see his adversaries swallow their political vomit.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria killed over 3 million Igbos in the name of "one Nigeria". 50 years on, Nigeria has become poverty capital of the world, home of terrorism in Africa, a total failure and "one Nigeria" is farther away than ever

Ojukwu was right to fight for Biafra, he foresaw the monumental failure Nigeria would become and fought to get his people out of that disaster. Great man Ojukwu was, the failure of Nigeria has long vindicated him

Igbos did not start any war. Get your facts right

adoboy04:
stop saying this trash jare! who is holding you? that's when you will be beating your chest. if it was east that formed their security b4 the west now the world would have ended, but since west did it first they have not started. I hate this issue of not letting us go. OK, let me teach you people how to start, one by one you will start to migrate to the east then lets see who will beg or hold you not to go. everything they are waiting for Yoruba, so if Yoruba don't want to go now it becomes their problems. let me tell the Igbo now, if Yoruba make move now the Igbo will dress back. they blame Yoruba for the war and it was you who started the war. if Yoruba started the war now and run away, that's traitor and you started the and start calling names.

You are totally wrong

Sakamaje:
You are somehow correct. The fate of an independent South East is intrinsically linked to the South South for very strategic reasons that cannot be wished away. Without the cooperation of the territory that makes up the South South today, the SouthEast would really struggle to reach its full potential. The South South's later rejection of the Biafra project during the civil war contributed immensely to the stillbirth of the rebellion and loss of that war.

You gave the most objective answer

Obamaofusa:
How each region fared during regionalism may be a pointer to answering this question

All the zones can if they have deep thinkers and prudent managers of resources.

You did not answer the question. Does being landlock an obstacle to becoming and independent country?

Please give the question a second shot?

haywire07:
North east or North west.

South east is a landlocked region that will remain dependent on every other regions around it, either for water or for oil or food and Electricity.

The North has always been able to sustain themselves before discovery of oil and their moderate lifestyle is an advantage. Food and trade will boom easy

South south and south west will flourish due to oil and foreign trade, and transportation (waterways).

North central will remain dependent on mineral resources and they will form a coalition with the NE and NW.

Most of tbe state should never have been in existence in the first place. They were created by (northern) military fiat.

No one should be suprised that they've been misgovered and mismanaged political bandits called governors

Blue3k:
You're going to pay.




Allocation isn't the reason states aren't productive. Alot of states could easily collect tax revenue that bigger than allocation. They worse than the federal government at tax collection even though they can charge things like income and property taxes.

If you want to reduce the Federal governments responsibility and powers that's fine. The tax code needs to be adjusted. Foolish laws like land use should be repealed.

You hit the nail on the head. The unitary government has no business in almost 100% of the projects which she has embarked. They're best left for the regions.

Restructure or peeish!

Bevista:
How about we reorganize our entire governance structure (some people will call it restructuring). The FG currently takes 52% of the entire common wealth of the federation. To justify this, it arrogates to itself massive responsibilities (for which it has shown grossly incapable of handling). The system needs to be structured so that the states have more funds and hence push many of the responsibilities the FG currently handles to the states. The FG should be given max 20% from the federation account.

The FG should focus on key elements like Defense, Immigration, Foreign Missions, Central Banking, etc. What d fvck are they doing with basic education, primary health care, etc?

An idle mind is the devil's workshop ! You have almost zero knowledge about the dynamics between Chinese and American competition.

supercase1:
There are speculations that china would emerge as a world power after this covid-19 crisis.but this theory is a hoarse and resides in mind of those that hate America so much and want to see her fall.china will never be a world power due to the following reasons.
AMERICAN MILLITARY POWER:the USA has a very enormous and powerful millitary with a highly advanced technology driven economy.the millitary might of the USA dwaft that of China/Russia combined,and it is the major reason why the chinese and russians haven't launched their imperial conquest aim.china can't match the us millitary might or project force as the U.S can.that's a quality of a dominant world power.
AMERICA ALLIANCE:The U.S has an unshakable alliance with Europe which is the wealthiest continent on Earth.Europe and US shares historic and crucial ties.this is what china lacks.no matter china vision and target,it can never get europe as allies because they both shares different beliefs.europe is democracy while china is communism.these two are on a parallel line.
China can't and will never be a world power.

The issue is not about Ndigbo Why inject them into matter?

SLIDEwaxie:
you alwys live by stories I guess. For example:

1. ojukwu is a hero. Even we knew he ran away.

2. We are the majority in Lagos. And yet ur vote for agbaje proved u very wrong.

3. We are the backbone of the economy. Yet how many production company Igbo people get? U guys are into buying and selling. And if u produce, na fake.

4. We are the first in education. Yet, ur arguments are insipid, vapid, lacking facts and figures. And even a certificateless buhari had more sense dn ur doctor...


In a but shell, do u just believed that northerners are dullards? If course, since the stories say so.

Please who are the people in mainstream yoruba politics? And ease can you define mainstream Yoruba politics? Who is enjoying mainstream Yoruba politics - majority of Yorubas or select few?

honeyB2018:
If FFK, had stood with the mainstream in Yoruba land to abuse and castigate Abba Kyari in support of the Vice President, Osibanjo, who would have heard about this?
This is what happens when you are not in the mainstream of the Yoruba politics. It was done to Ebenezer Babatope, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, WhabDosumu, even of late Adeseye Ogunlewe.
To the followers of Yoruba politics, this is not new.

And what has the Yoruba nation benefited from using the Ndi-Igbo, and acting and speaking from both sidevof the mouth?

PeterUdeme:
And you think Yoruba would trust Igbo people who are all criminals? Nobody trusts you. We just use you because of your emotional incapabilities. Watch another person use you fools tomorrow.

I totally agree with you!

willyo:
I don't blame either Kyari or Buhari. I blame the poorly oriented backward illiterates and the sophisticated educated dummies that voted, sold and manipulated the sitting dullarrd into power

You gave your acct number without your name. How does anyone who desires to help you make the transfer?

Good morning everyone, I'm sorry to bring my plights on here on a open forum but, I can tell you that I have no other place to turn to as I have exhausted every other limited opportunity I have. I have been having difficulty in feeding my kids and myself since last week Sunday, I'm a tailor and a single mom and I have no one else to help me. For the love of God please help me with any amount so that I can feed my hungry kids, I pray helper will not be far from you. Any amount is appreciated. Thanks and God bless you. FCMB 6794758018

How did a personal opinion of an online commentator finish Yan.miri? Specifically how?

helinues:
You people get bad mouth walahi..See as how you finished Yan.miri

Why do you bother yourself with this ignoramus online? Time has already adjudicated who was on the right side of truth in the Nigerian - Biafra War.I

Nigeria as a failed state speaks volumes than the indolent rantings of this online blowheads.

Dedetwo:
Anyway, it takes one demented fool to recognize another on a forum.

Is it lady's 1 million March that annulled June 12 Election or sent Abiola to prison?

Ndigbo voted for Zik and not Shagari. Get your information right

Iamgrey5:
Abacha 1 million match was organized by who

Who voted Sehu Shagari ahead of Awolowo and Zik

Who voted Tofa ahead of Abiola.

Even Alex Ekuweme contested against Obj in PDP primaries and last because the Northern PDP members voted Obj ahead of Alex.

It's not hatred, it's returning back to status quo.

Igbos can do whatever pleases them, but I hope you won't still blame Yorubas in the near future.

You are a noisemaker. You could not even take to digest the thrust of this post and unsteady boasting. If Yoruba s have truly dealt with Muslim North ( Fulani, Hausa and Nupe), you should be controlling Nigeria today and not playing second fiddle.

Iamgrey5:
All over the internet today, some people are begging their northern masters to take them back and forgive them for voting a southerner in 2015.

We Yorubas have dealt with Fulani, Hausas and Nupe (Muslim north) before the advent of Nigeria and we already understand how to deal with them.

Meanwhile some people are still learning.

Yoruba and regurgitation of falsehoods and fabrications. Can you provide emprical evidence that Ojukwu dressed as a woman to escape?

[1quote author=omlueh post=88051973]Abeg my brother no vex, who be dat person wey run away leaving 3 million person to starvation unto death.[/quote]

Trash from another sophisticated slowpoke. How did Igbo worship him when Yorubas where the second majority in the PRC and pro-June 12 Yoruban politicians populated his government. Diya your kinsman was the second-in-command until they outfoxed him. Typical Yoruba: always seeking to remove the speck in other peoples eye without first removing the wood in their own eye.

babaolofin:
Abacha the hero of Ndigbo. The IBOs worshipped him until the gods killed him. More than a year before his death, he was a living dead having been seriously attacked with sickness just existing at Aso rock while his cabal covered him up.

The IBOs leadership struggled among themselves to pay homage to him weekly at Aso Rock. Every week delegates from an IBO community must visit Aso Rock to pay homage. This was a time NADECO, the EU and US were against him. He gave an American Ambassador to Nigeria 48 hours to leave Nigeria. The IBOs hailed him. Canada relocated their Embassy to Ghana during this period. Walter Ofornagoro and Uche Chukwumerije were in charge of propaganda. The gods disappointed them.

Lt Gen Diya has reasons to be happy. Adisa went to Oputa panel to betray the gods, may his soul rest in peace. I wish Gen Ishaya Bamaiyi and Major Al-mustapha well.

Once again, Gen Diya, Happy Birthday sir.

So you are just realizing?

Where is he then? Sincerely, I feel this Kanu guy makes to much noise.

Really really really sarcastic!

But you insulted Jonathan unabated!

Kayceenaz:
It is becoming almost second nature for most Nigerians, both the educated and non-educated classes, to cross the line while pouring out their hearts on national issues. I agree, there are ample question marks on how the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has acted on and reacted to socio-political, economic, and religious matters; spanning from federal character, insurgency, ethno-religious skirmishes, education, malfeasance, to now presidential invisibility before this coronavirus pandemic.

Naturally, we feel betrayed, used, and insignificant to the presidency. Not paling in comparison to status-quo that should be, your feelings are indeed valid. But letting this emotional pain lead you to hurl insults of all sorts at President Buhari, as rampant online, is an overreaction. As you call him unprintable, reprehensible names and ridicule him through jokes/memes, remember he is fallible, someone's husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and holds office of President of Nigeria. It is enough to beg to differ with and criticize constructively his leadership style plus policies. Using constitutional and moral means to show displeasure are in order. Look emotional intelligence's way.

Disturbingly, some people even wish Buhari death, hoping news of his demise filters in soonest. If that's not a representation of the Scriptures' observation that "The heart of man is desperately wicked," then it must be of something worse. If you fall in this category, kindly stop now! Such comments are humor taken too far.

As events unfold and we watch with disappointment, anticipating the National Assembly does the needful and saves the day, let us (Nigerians) amplify our voices to be critically loud enough, not insulting enough.
