What grudge do you have against Ndigbo? This is your maiden posting on a non-Igbo issue, yet you injected Igbos in it

quote author=Osaze007 post=85386088]I expect some bitter comments from a particular set of people

At Lagos 1.2trn
It’s larger than an entire regions budget [/quote]

Who have no quality?

johnmartus:
The problem is that they have no the quality.

If you are truly tired whose next on the line to eat the national cake, you would have dismissed outrightly this demand of Igbo Presidency from a bootlicker and Fulani slave, and insisted that restructuring is the minimum requirement for better Nigeria.

Instead you are still wallowing in the self-deception that an Igbo Presidency will save Nigeria

Goodluck in your Utopianism

[q1uote author=omoharry post=84760197]I do not care about Igbo presidency anymore..when they get there they will turn out thesame or even worse off..We need a good president in in power irrespective of his tribe or religion.I am tired of who next is to eat the national cake.Everything is about the national cake and nothing more. Pls Nigerians need a good president, we are tired of It is my turn.
However, if the south East can bring a good candidate that is different from the clowns we have among the Igbo stucks, then it will be something for Nigerians to consider. I will vote for that person with the mind that he is a breath of fresh air from the nuisance that are parading themselves as Igbo leaders.[/quote]

You said it all !

DMerciful:
Igbos wants Biafra and there is no bigger staying away than this

You hit the nail on the head. His Yoruba ethnic group under the leadership of his hero, Awolowo,aligned with the north to fight the self-determination of Biafra instead of fighting on the side of Biafra to finish off the north or maintain a neutral position and allow Biafra to deal with the nuisance called north or specifically Fulanis Today he is crying over split milk.

Good morning in the words of Ojukwu!

gidgiddy:
Talk is cheap. When people like Ojukwu rise up to do something radical that would prevent the North from riding his people like a Horse, it was people from the south who joined hands to pull Ojukwu down

The reality is that if you are a Southerner, and you choose 'one Nigeria', the North will ride you like a Horse forever

He is hiding his head in shame!

Racoon:
Where the hell is Femi Adeshina that was questioning America's big brother role? Can he see how he has just embarrassed himself? America invariably forced Nigerian govt to behave democratically.Shame on this govt.

Nwannem how you dey? No mind the the average Yorubas on this forum who claims Lagos even though he is not from Lagos

My village is Ugboegbelu, Emekuku - Owerri, IMO STATE:

Gandollaar:
OP I don't have an aerial photo of my village. But I can assure you that my village is best place on earth.

When Yorubas come here to scream " go back to your caves" simply because they themselves have not ventured out of their villages, I just laugh.

My village has electricity, phone network, urban, notable men and women, civilized and accommodating.

My village is Umuakuru Emekuku Owerri. It's good to be home!

You hit the nail on the head!

truthfulparrot:
They are protecting their own ambitions and selfish interests Where were they when the government was disobeying court orders.

The fear of sanctions and traveling bans by US and its allies on the ruling class and their family members compelled them to advise the President to release 'Sowore and Dasuki.
Nigeria was drifting into anarchy especially with the arrest of 'Sowore and fragrant disregard for the rule of law. The editorial by punch newspaper must have caught the presidency unaware. And other media houses and Nigerians were getting bolder.

What is the business of Kanu in this matter?

bluefilm:
What of maazi nnamdi cownu?

When will he be released from exile?

Clinical!

FactsAndTruth:
Why should buhari arrest his brothers chanting Sai baba while beating up Deji as I just saw on Channels TV?

Weren't you on the same page with the same Sai baba chanters just a few years ago?

Didn't you hold rallies standing together with Buhari as brothers-in-arms just a few years ago? What changed from the warnings you were given by the East?

Or is GEJ the one who also ordered this beating by almajiris on an Omoluabi?

You are absolutely right!

Abiola died not because of the born-to-rule mentality of northerners but because of the treachery, deceitfulness and cowardice of his kinsmen. Like Esau who sold his birthright for a lot of porridge, they mortgaged Abiola's life for political crumbs from the table of the Arewa North.

The same scenario is unfolding under this administration.

joeyfire:
These are two of the most frequent lies and propaganda that yorubas tell.

1. Yoruba elders sold Abiola/June 12 to Abacha long before anybody knew what was going on. While likes of Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu and Olisa Agbakoba were risking their lives fighting the military.

2. Was it not Dora Akunyili as minister of Information in the Yar'Adua administration that forced the executive council/cabinet to make GEJ acting president?

People may not always challenge your deception so you can embarrass yourself but nobody is deceived

You have just revealed my problem with folks like you. You are quick to respond but you ignore the thrust of the argument and engage in your own fantasy.

Between Ojukwu and his Yoruba Military couterparts, Ogundipe of SMC, Adebayo of Western Region,Johnson of Lagos, who is the real and true coward?

Between Igbos(and Eastern minorities) who challenged the northern hijack of power, insisted on regionalism via Aburi Accord and finally declared their liberation from Fulani/Hausa oligarchy through Biafra; and Yorubas who never challenged Gowon's hijack of power, chickened out and accepted military occupation of the Western Region and finally aligned with the North in the civil war to officially inaugurate Fulani/Hausa enslavement of post-Biafra Nigeria, who is the evidence-based coward and quisling?

LZAA:
Legendhero just loves ojukwu

You hailed LegendHero on his postings. But all he posted are personal claims and assertions. No empirical evidence to back his statements. If this was a graduate thesis, it will not be approved.

Please tell him to substantiate his assertions with raw data.

Yebosola:
Gbam! Gbamer!!! Gbamest!!! EOD.Children of hate,oya food don ready oh,come and counter it with your hatefulness.

The internet has allowed all manner of illiterates to advertise their ignorance in a big way. Where the hell did you get the information that Gowon was overthrown just because he refused to treat Igbos like conquered people? Please where did you unveil this ridiculous claim?

oglalasioux:
Gowon is the only true Nigerian leader. Overthrown just because he refused to treat Igbos like conquered people.

Ojukwu died unfulfilled? Ojukwu is a coward? You must have overdosed on tramadol. It is mostly Yorubas that brand Ojukwu a coward. The northerners, our primary enemies in the war, seldom refer to Ojukwu as coward.

You're literally wallowing in self - deception and audacity of unintelligence. Imagine boasting Adekunle - a man who regretted his civil war action and decried the war and his actions. Why would you focus on civil war Adekunle and ignore post-civil war Adekunle who died a wretched and painful death having been used and dumped by Fulani OLIGARCHY.?

[1quote author=LegendHero post=85075793]

No matter how much you try to spin this. Ojukwu is a coward and he will forever be.

When he came back to Nigeria after exile, he publicly campaigned for Shagari even when Azikwe was on the ballot for presidency. I have the video with me and I’m totally ashamed of his cowardice such that he still campaigned openly without shame for the Fulani hegemony that slaughtered his people not too long ago.

Lol, do you mean generals should all be running cowardly when the war is lost? Does the phrase live to fight another day qualify Ojukwu? Which other day did he fought? He died unfulfilled and even contested for the seat of the presidency for a nation he fought against?

He is a coward just like Nnamdi Kanu the fugitive that’s producing porn video instead of coming home to bury his parents.

I Spit on the head of the cowards![/quote]

When did Yorubas ever carry Nigeria problem on their head

7lives:
Three gbosa for you, gbosa, gbosa, gbosa.
They are seriously frustrated now. they want Yoruba to return to opposition while they milk the country dry.
Eni go lo ngbe igunu, eni gbon lo ngbowo, awon werey.

You hit the nail on the head!

sassysure:
See where greed and so much baby has landed some people.
SMH.

In 2015 till 2017-8 , we did not hear here. Tinubu has the firs in his pocket, tinubu is osibanjo and osibanjo is tinubu.

Tinubu this,tinubu that. Tinubu made Buhari president single handedly.

This same tinubu was abandoned and humiliated throughout Buhari first tenure that his wife publicly cried out. Tinubu didn't learn his lessons. Election campaign came, they called him to campaign with fresh promise. We started seeing and hearing from tinubu again.
After election, tinubu was relegated to the back seat again.
Now those institutions that they said where under his power( I still don't know how a national institution should be under his or anybody's power if not for dipping hands into such institutions) were being taken away from him. What stops Buhari from appointing another lagosian or Yoruba person?

Still some shameless ones are still here defending the indefensible.
Can u guys go and hide in shame?
It's because of this tinubu that non of u refused to see Buhari for who he is and what he represents.
Shame on u guys.

Absolutely right!

agadez007:
and you too

am pretty sure if this happened in igboland,your people would have filled this place with their anthem "Igbos hate themselves" blah blah blah

You are intellectually challenged

chizby:
IS BETTER HE BORROWS IT AND USES IT TO BULD INFACTRUCTURE. YOU DONT KNOW WHO WILL BE COMMING AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT. MAY BE A BIG THIEF WHO WOULD USED IT OFFSET HIS COST OF SERIES OF CAMPAIGN .

Thank you my brother!

Coldie:
Stop lieing. Jonathan didn't for once marginalize the north, be didn't have the balls to do that, it was too obvious he was always trying to please the north, it was do much that he even appointed a northerner Inec chairman when he knew his major opponent was from the north and that was his undoing. Stop lieing

Please who is we in your statement??

Coldie:
I hope u guys get Biafra as far as IMO state is not part of it.

After giving u Biafra we will blockade u people air, Land and sea. Stay in Biafra

Typical Yoruba! You must inject Ojukwu and Kanu to assuage your ethnic feelings

ProudDick:
Not everyone like to roll in the mud with pigs. Nobody take mustapha serious until he is bold enough to own up to his crimes. He's a liar and a coward.

Abiola died for what he believed in. He could have take kanu and ojukwu option and ran away. But he stood his ground.

Is this all your intelligence can come up with? What a waste of education.

jayfolarin:
While I understand people like FFK and Reno are still hurt from Gej's lose in 2015 but treating tyranny like an US vs THEM is how tyranny survives and continues to thrive till it consumes everyone

To kill a monster, the people have to confront it head on in unity.

Nigeria is doomed!

Gazzy88:
While we have been busy talking about Nigeria of today, I wonder if we have spared a thought about how this country will be in the next TWENTY-FIVE years.

On October 1, 1979, when Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari was sworn-in as president, Goodluck Jonathan was just a 22 year-old undergrad of University of Port-Harcourt. Shagari was 54 years old. Ayo Fayose was 19 years old. Bukola Saraki was 17. Yemi Osinbajo was 22. The generation of the likes of Shagari, Richard Akinjide, Adisa Akinloye, Sabo Barkin Zuwo, Sam Mbakwe, Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, Ume Ezeoke, Christian Onoh, Akin Omoboriowo, Olusola Saraki, Sunday Awoniyi, Garba Nadama, Awal Ibrahim and so on has gone for good!

Some of us in our 40s, 50s and 60s now, were in school then, either in the university or secondary school. We had lofty dreams, both personal and societal. We were always motivated by nationalists and inventors who had impacted positively on the cause of humanity. We were voracious readers of novels and other books. Nelkon for our Ordinary Level Physics, Lambert for Chemistry, B.O ADELEKE and Goh Cheng Leong for our Geography, Phebean Ogundipe for Practical English, William Shakespeare Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, OLa Rotimi and Wole Soyinka for Literature and others like that.

We were always flaunting our knowledge of current affairs. Inter-school quiz, Literary and Debating competition were the in-thing. Nowadays, students can hardly string a sentence together in English without errors.

Fast forward 35 years on and you are shocked and disturbed. Have you ever spoken to or engaged a 20 year-old boy? Ask him what motivates him and he is likely to mention music, hip hop to be precise. He has hundreds of downloaded songs on his phone. He can sing all of them off hand. He knows all the singles of Nice, Neato C, Timaya, Davido, Whiz Kid off hand. The babes among them take pride in enticing men old enough to be their father on social media with buxomly physique. But he/she does not know anything about history of nationalism in the country. Ideas about good society, responsible family and good conduct do not motivate him. He just wants to make money because his friend who does yahoo is rich and rides a good car, her friend who has numerous ‘aristos’ drives an SUV!

The things that interest him/her are things that do not add value. He /she has google but never uses it for advancement of knowledge but to download porn and other inanities. Yet, in TWENTY years time, they are the ones that will be contesting to become governors, senators, Reps members and even president.

They belong to a generation that does not care about morality. They belong to a generation that is motivated only by money and its acquisition. By 2035 to 2040, they will be our senators, Reps, governors and so on.

I wonder if we have ever spared a thought for how this country will look like under them. I told a man recently and these are my words: IF A GUY WHO IS IN LAGOS COULD USE FALSE PRETENCE TO
OBTAIN $20,000 FROM SOMEONE IN UNITED STATES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF SUCH A GUY BECOMES A STATE GOVERNOR AND IS IN CHARGE OF AN ALLOCATION HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO OBTAIN UNDER FALSE PRETENCE? WHICH HIS STATE IS STATUTORILY ENTITLED TO. How did we get into this mess? How can we get out of this predicament? I am worried, deeply worried. Are you?

Note: I don't know the Author of this write up, it was forwarded to me and it's worth reading and sharing.

Pls, let us continue to share,it might change one or two people.

Are Yorubas not guilty of the same hatred you accuse him of? lt's on both sides so don't engage in selective outrage.

Sonnyboom:
Everyday your life n existence is put to shame on NL, yet you refuse to be shameless. It is fair to say on your dying bed you will confess all the unjustifiable hate you exhibit on Yoruba.

Please do you have this book? l have been searching for it. lf you do can you lend me? Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

LabDNA:
Lol..

Nothing new has been said here. Unalloyed facts still remain that..

1. Gowon was not recognized in the East and therefore didn't have the instruments and influence to release of Awo who was detained in the East.

2. The source of your narrative was from Guardian a tabloid of the British who strongly supported the puppet Nigerian state with arms, ammunitions, military training in the war of attrition against the East. So those views cannot be seen as unbiased. This is common knowlege.


The atrocities of the British government in the pre-indepedent and during the war in Nigeria have been grossly downplayed. Not just with their penchant for diplomatic sleaziness and military support for atrocities but with their media with which they had a monopoly to hold people spellbound with their propaganda depending own which side of the divide their interests lie. They did it in Botswana, India, Nigeria.

Go read this book, it's an expose on British atrocities in Eastern Nigeria, written by a British journalist himself.

Can't You Make a comment without referring to SE?

sarrki:
Awolowo is , was and forever be a yardstick in the whole of Nigeria , most especially southern Nigeria the southeast emulates, adore and wish they have many awos in their midst

Rest on baba ikene

And you trust billionaires from your kinsmen?

Godons1:
Since the Allen Onyeama saga started, I don't trust any Igbo rich man. I now believe that, over 90% of them made their wealth through Crimes.

God bless you for this post

Nwaonyishi69:
My own concern is a part revelation of how this country is being ripped off. How can the office of the vice president keep more than 100 aids? What and what would they be doing for the bogus salaries that make people leave top professional jobs to become aids? Yet only 35 were sacked or redeployed. Then the president has thousands of aids, ministers tens of them, principal officers of the houses of Parliament keep fifties of them. Then what will be left for health, education, infrastructure and even basic welfare rights. The nation is doomed beyond repair.

How did Zik betray Igbos?

kingkakaone:
As bitter as this is I must say it is true.

Some guys were discussing about the civil war and most of them said the Yorubas through Awolowo hated them and supported the government against them.
I aksed them to tell me Zik's role during the war and they kept quiet until an old man among them said he betrayed Biafra.

I have also seen most comments from some fellas here calling Awolowo as a betrayer but never called out zik, their main man at that time for doing same.
The truth is, you can't cover your family member and insult someone else who did same thing they did.

I know unlearned and bitter souls will quote me with insults and I am waiting for them.

That's a lie

NaMeAboki:
Wake up and smell the coffee; the country was operating as a true federation where every region was semi-independent (with a weak central government) and competing against one another.
The regional premiers were all protecting and conserving their regions primarily for the benefit of their own ppl - he was espousing what the other regional premiers were already practising.
