I know him personally. Never thought he'll be into Nigerian politics like that but the last time he ever discussed Nigeria he was making some sense to me. I'm not sure if he has ever held any government position here in TX or back in Nigeria.

Chinyen,U are too 4kin clannish and overoverly defensive about anything Ngwa hence u immediately assumed that FACE had something bad to say about the Ngwa. No one is out to get u or the Ngwa. Not even that razz a$$ Ezeuche. lol Your insecurities are too obvious.

Trying to clown Africans is kinda dumb coz I thought u werer African? Oh i guess ur mama is no longer Yoruba. She must be a Gullah then? Dummy. If u want to please be my guest. I find some of em at parties too funny. Tell me ur funny stories and I'll tell u mine. lol

Bkbabygal, lol awww so now u are the one with good reputation telling us about the Igbo u think got good reputation. Shut ur bastarrd a$$ up.

Sleezy, stick to matters that concern you.

Onyenbgu,Please tell that chick Bkbabe like I said b4 no one has monopoly on trash talking. The guy claims he loves his Igbo step dad who took his rejected a$$ in yet he spews so much hateful jargon about the Igbo. I ignored it most of the time but today is his day. Now he is claiming to not hate the Igbo? His views about the Igbo is quite lovely indeed. Some1 needs to teach that child to never bite the fingers that feeds him. Igbo men are this and that yet his reject of a mother found solace in the arms of an Ojukwu when Tyrone knocked her up and dumped her cheap free koochie giving a$$. I wonder why she couldn't find Baba Iyabo to take her in. 4kin rejects.

Oh shyt bkpussy fixin send Tyrone and Bonquisha to come fight me. Come find me so I can bust ur head to da white meat nigga. Sure u can gimme ur momma's # and address so I can collect my own share of some good head. I heard all da boiz in Abeokuta loved her. No wonder even ur step daddy crossed the niger pass Ore in search Yoruba's own superhead. Typical Igbo man. lol

Chinyen and his clannish behind. So u of all people even took Sleezy serious enough to discuss internal Igbo matter. I don't wanna call u a fool but if u have learned anything from our experience u would have learned to never discuss ur family issues with strangers who have nothin positive to add but cause trouble. Grow up.FACE, I like how u dismissed that ant Sleezy. Jide ka iji nwokem.

Kobojunkie lol,sometimes a man gotta do what he gotta do. Oh so u never knew I had it in me? I keep saying that no one has a monopoly on trash talking and for a long time the foool Bkpussy felt like he was untouchable, heaping insults and makin senseless statements about other people without thinking that 1 day even the Pope himself can show him another side of him. He should have kept his sketchy family history out of this convoo but since he decided to bring it up it became fair game.

Lol @ Onlytruth.Now we know the jigg is upm Bkbabygirl is a Bastarrd child who an Igbo kindly adopted yet he is talking trash about the Igbo. Bkbabygirl97, where is your dead beat father? I guess I should be asking your whorin mother who spread her kitty for plenty men and can't tell who is who. If your Igbo step dad was too strict on u please don't hate his Igbo ppl for that coz they had nothing to do with it. U need to deal with ur psychological and family issues instead if casting aspersions on a people u know nothing about other than that ur step father was from Igbo land. Im sure the average Yoruba will always reject ur bastarrd waste of a sperm a$$ hence u find solace in associating with alaywe bois like Sleezy and sefago.

A good beat down is all the man needed. stabbing him in the back while he is running is excessive hence he should face some music.

Ezeuche, I support that.

Igbos might be seen more in other parts of the country but that does not mean they don't like to live in Igbo land. Problem is that the Eastern regions lacks what the west and North have in terms if infrastructure and development hence many are forced to leave the East to pursue business. If I am not speaking the truth then tell me why almost every holiday the Igbo will desert those places and rush back home. Igbo ppl in the North are not there by choice but there are many strong willed Igbo who have vowed to never invest/live outside the East and they are doing well.

League of retarded Nigerians.

That religion needs reformation or abolition. A religion that promotes sexual and physical abuse of females and also disrespect and violence doesn't deserve respect.

Shyt mayne!!!!

Oyinda
Biafra would have been an African nation created by native African people not Europeans.
What you have all over Africa are a bunch of failed European experiments and territories.
Honoring these entities is slave-like to me. We are not yet an independent people / continent coz till today we are whatever our slave masters and colonial masters wanted us to be and on top of it we still depend on them for our economic survival, begging for crumbs. Disgusting. TUFIAKWA!!!

Biafra = AFRICAN PRIDE.

Oyinda

The different Biafra groups will have autonomy and besides we are like one people regardless of our differences so as long as fairness is honored I don't see any break up.

Efik and Ibibio are dialects of the same language like Ijebu and Egba.

Unlike the Igbo, Yoruba, Ijo, and others the Akwaibom and Cross Rivers people have not till today found ONE WORD that describes them as one and unites them. They simply go by their local dialects like Efik, Ibibio, Annang, Oron, etc. They all understand each other tho they have different dialects.

Chinyen,

Oyi means Friend in Igbo or atleast in Enugu area where I grew up.

SEFAGO:
Woodrow Wilson was American+racist+brilliant+ not born in the biafran era- I dont think you are talking of the same person I am thinking about

The British Govt might have had a vested interest in keeping Nigeria one, but I think they also were interested in making sure that a country they saw so much potential in could work. Don't claim to know the agenda of the Brits except you get all their secret docs and read the mind of their diplomats- we can only suppose.

Gowon was very benevolent- he tried his best to curb any excessive tribalistic retaliations that could occur from treason of the secessionist.

Well this goes back to the discussion  , I am trying to point out that there is no conspiracy to undermine the igbo in Nigeria. Tell some of your state government to stop stealing money, and develop your airports.

Good governance trumps tribalism everyday. Like who leads igbo states= Igbo leaders. Never seen an Hausa in power lol

SEFAGO,

Oopps I meant HAROLD WILSON.

[b]Nigerian aggression, British support

British interests are very clearly revealed in the declassified files. ‘Our direct interests are trade and investment, including an important stake by Shell/BP in the eastern Region. There are nearly 20,000 British nationals in Nigeria, for whose welfare we are of course specially [sic] concerned’, the Foreign Office noted a few days before the outbreak of the war. Shell/BP’s investments amounted to around £200 million, with other British investment in Nigeria accounting for a further £90 million. It was then partly owned by the British government, and the largest producer of oil which provided most of Nigeria’s export earnings. Most of this oil was in the eastern region.
Commonwealth Minister George Thomas wrote in August 1967 that: ‘The sole immediate British interest in Nigeria is that the Nigerian economy should be brought back to a condition in which our substantial trade and investment in the country can be further developed, and particularly so we can regain access to important oil installations’.

Thomas further outlined the primary reason why Britain was so keen to preserve Nigerian unity, noting that ‘our only direct interest in the maintenance of the federation is that Nigeria has been developed as an economic unit and any disruption of this would have adverse effects on trade and development’. If Nigeria were to break up, he added: ‘We cannot expect that economic cooperation between the component parts of what was Nigeria, particularly between the East and the West, will necessarily enable development and trade to proceed at the same level as they would have done in a unified Nigeria; nor can we now count on the Shell/BP oil concession being regained on the same terms as in the past if the East and the mid-West assume full control of their own economies’.[/b]

Dont let these igbo scammers fool you. Most of them debate biafra from an emotional point of view. I deal with pragmatism. Most igbo people on NL see themselves as the victim, not as a complementary tone in the bitter music of Nigeria.

Yakubu Gowon handled the biafran situation brilliantly. No one could have done better. If Biafra had left Nigeria, it would have had significant effects on Africa.

Yes it would have coz Africans would for the 1st time realize that they are NOT cattle and sheep the Europeans can herd and command to do anything. The British GOVT know this hence they fought tooth and nail to maintain the status quo so they could continue to milk the continent and they are still milking it. Yakubu Gowon did not handle anything brilliantly. He is a fool who got used and dumped and now his people are suffering the effects in the hands of the Fulani. The brilliant person is Woodrow Wilson of UK.

Biafra = AFRICAN PRIDE.

lol Oh ok Oyinda.

In Igbo it will mean "Friend of the Father"

Oyinna / Oyinda
Eyinna / Enyinnaya

Your name seems like an Ikwerre name hence I had to ask.

Biafra is more than just Igbo people.

Sleezy,
I am from Anambra state not Enugu tho I was born and raised there and not once have I demanded an airport in Anambra state. The new Airport in Asaba and Enugu are good enough.

Most of my Aro family from Abia state migrated to Anambra state.

My point is that the Eastern region and Igbo land deserves to have a real International Airport to facilitate better economic development and growth. You are either silly, ignorant or full of rabid hate towards anything pass Ore to feel that a section of your country does not deserve the same thing you are getting. Why must we drive 7 hours risking death, accidents, armed robberies just to board an international flight through Lagos, Abuja, Kano when we have big cities with Airports that can serve the same purpose? Why must we pay to board a domestic flight in Enugu, Calabar just to land in Lagos, or Abuja and then pay for international flight? For once remove the hate and try to be fair. Geez.

Tinapa in Calabar will benefit so much if there is even one real International Airport in the East. How many foreign tourists will want to land in Abuja, kano, or Lagos and risk death, molestation, robberies on Nigeria's dangerous highways just to visit Tinapa? If this is  not a deliberate attempt to strangle the Eastern region economically then I don't know what it is.

SLEEZY,
I can see you either like to put words into people's mouths or you are simply too much of a dunce to read and understand simple English. Sorry I am not fluent in Yoruba hence I can't break it down for u in your local dialect. Pele.

For the last time kid, there are minority native population of Igbos in Edo state and they are known as the IGBANKE. They are Ika. They even have groups on facebook where discussions such as them joining their kit and kin in Delta state are presently being discussed.

I know at least one Igbanke chap in Houston.
