CaptainMitch:
Atiku has an Igbo wife from Onitsha

To be sincere, I didn't even know he is married to an anambra woman

QueenSekxy:
We have seen how he now treats those SW and MB that adore and worship him.

Those gworo chewing almajiri talking about religion, please, is Atiku, Yara Dua Christians?


We Igbos hate him cos he first hated us, hate Christians, he is a terrorist sympathizer, a corrupt and backward lunatic, a religious fanatic, a tribal bigot and cow fvcker.

Let us continue to show our disapproval of his ineptitude towards his repugnant demeanour.
We don't hide our feelings, we don't lick asses, we say it as it is and if you aren't comfortable with it, you can join Awolowo in rat poisoning.

If you are Igbo, and we sense the ass licking nature in You, we will label you a saboteur. We don't worship anybody, be you who!!!

Mwa afor ka ibu. Anam ekele

Is Yaradua and Atiku Christians?

Ask them Ooo. I don't just know why Igbos with the least number of states in the region is the problem for the whole country. In fact, I am very proud to be born of the Igbos tribe. Jealousy go kill people outside igboland.

Igbos do not hate Buhari, they only hate the fact that he is incompetent to preside over Nigeria. That's why Igbos did not vote him. Now, what is happening?

Amatarasha:
omoyeebo y d mention

Lol! Onye ofe nmanu can't you read?

See the people they are defending and fighting for. Them no even send them. You think freedom is by mouth? Hate Igbos and see yourself suffer the same consequences with them. Stop feeling intimidated. Feel among and concerned, let every southerner fight for the south. No one is meant to intimidate you. It's just your mind and how you see it. Lets love and fight together. No envy, no hatred, no jealousy. We were formerly southern protectorate before we were merged.

Come and take RUGA

Nooo, not possible. Your people can not fight. Only a few of you who have sense can but you are not the majority. Your people prefer to fight and defend their Fulani master who does not care about them. Your people are afraid the Igbos would take over cattle business. Provided the Igbos are maltreated, there's no problem.
Them no dey buy sense for market. Hating the Igbos can never take you to heaven.

Rolings:
That's why we are pointing it out to you that it's because of your greed that you are like this.... You people have hidden agenda for insisting on ranching, believing erroneously that you will take away the business of cattle from Fulans , so myopic and greedy reasoning.
With ranching, the Fulanis can buy up every available land in Iboland for their ranches believe me..........
But you won't sell to them as you don't have much land anyway
You intend going to other people's land under the guise of ranching business you acquire large tracts of land which will eventually be several times the size of iboland.......hmmmmm..... You're such a greedy bastard

Hahahahaha! When I tell you that Igbos are intimidating, you deny it but you exhibit it. You're still sentimental though. I know it would be very difficult for you to be freed. You are afraid Igbos may take away the cattle business from the fulanis, I understand. As usual, you are fighting for your masters who do not regard you. It's obvious you would prefer to die for the Fulani man provided the Igbos are given ill treatments. I also understand you don't want to emulate other developed countries who practice ranching so as to avoid the farmer herdsmen clashes which have been on the rise since Buhari took over. I equally understand that you are happy with the herdsmen terrorising the SW of late, that even the daughter of your leader was kidnapped and killed. It is well shaaa, no offence.

Hahahahaha! See dem boiling because a truth is being told. They say Yorubas invest in education but when you hear some of them talk, you wonder the effect of their schooling on their reasonings. See the way they are all exhibiting the effect of the intimidation they're feeling now. Any little point against them, they boil and the next thing is to curse you as if curses work?

@Amatarasha , @awgumayor, @sassysure , @Rolings , and the rest of them. I find your comments funny. Probably you don't know Nigerian history well.

Igbos were intentionally worked against when other tribes saw they would go far greater than them. They were deliberately cheated with just five states while cutting out some igboland to add to other regions. These were meant to cut the wings of Igbos. How do you expect to get high returns from a region of 5 states with little presence of establishments from the FG? If not for GEJ, would there have been international airport in the SE?

Pls, let's reason without sentiments.

PythonAmaka:
Stay in your region, add value to it and stop unhealthy crying. Pikin fail exam, you dey talk say hin handwriting fine. No one is requesting you to cry.

When you see the truth, embrace it. Stop being pained. Sorry, I understand that truth is bitter, I don't blame you.

post=80106212:
Time to ponder........

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

We have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023", they don't want us in the National Assembly".
Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has barely finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

All these guys below have all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu!!

Copy and paste.

Meanwhile, Igbos are not agitating for presidency. They are only agitating for good governance, equity and fair treatment. The only problem is that the three regions are not uniting to fight the enemy.

Please, reason logically and without sentiments.

Afospecialk:
You mean the same Igbo that lost over 1 million of their gullible people just in one battle ?


The same Igbo that perished for nothing during python dance ?

The same Igbo whose their only savior is in exile ?


Or is it that I dont understand the Igbo that OP is referring to?

Yes Ooo. That same Igboooo. They can never be afraid. That's why everybody is afraid of them.

aremuforlife:
You guys will just stay behind your keyboard and start typing rubbish. It is not in history that igbo has ever had an encounter with the fulani's but the yoruba has.
Nobody is monopoly of violence, we are the one making the fulani's more popular and believed that they aremore dangerous.
They are not as dangerous as the OPC or the Agbero's in the west
BAKASSI BOYS in the east
Millitant in the south
And varies of cults in our school.
We are more dangerous and intelligente than them but we are very slow to take action
Always using emergency to solve issues

True talk. Not that the south is not strong, they are not united. Waiting for who to start and when a region starts, instead of the other region to consolidate it, they go supporting the hausa/fulanis just to be Hausa Fulani favourite. Why would you want to remain slave to be collecting remnants? Free yourself.

MetaPhysical:
I no hear SS/SE now o.

Small time when fulani open fire una go dey shout "we SS/SE".

Cowards!

Who told you there's no Igbo in SS? I don't know why you love and hate Igbos same time. See irony oo

Shayetet13:
FEAR OF THE STRONG MAN: From the Ruga issues, it has become very evident that the only tribe the Fulanis respect and fear are the Igbos. The Igbos are strong willed and not afraid of anybody themselves. The Igbos have continued to put the excesses of the fulanis in check and it seems that the only factor preventing the Fulanis from over running everyone in Nigeria, is the Igbo factor, because they are uncertain what the Igbo's reaction would be. The Igbos always seem to challenge them and put them in their Place. And i dare say that the day the Igbos opt out of this Nigerian union, no other tribe will agree to stay back, despite their one Nigeria stance.

FEAR OF TAKING OVER THEIR BUSINESS: The major resistance from the Fulanis over the worldwide practiced ranching, is fear that the Igbos might take over their age long business from them. They know the igbos will never take cows into the bush and walk long distances to feed them. But in a ranch situations, the business fields become equal and the igbos will definitely always win

THE ONLY TRIBE WITH THE MORALE TO LOOK THEM EYE BALL TO EYE BALL: The fulanis are intimidating, no doubt, but even much so are the Igbos. The Igbos, just like the Jews can intimidate you in your own land, aibeit, this time, not by violence unlike the fulanis, but by a show of progress and prosperity. And mind you, if you bring violence to the Igbos, they will not shy away. The Fulanis are not happy, because just like they predicted, the Igbos took initiative in this Ruga Issue and every other timid son became emboldened. Reasons, they seem to protest against the Igbos.

@PythonAmaka Oya come chop, your food don land

I blame the southern brothers for this. That's what happens when you don't unite and support your own family members. When you go outside your family to support other family members, your own family gets conquered by the other family.

That was what happened to Atiku. He refused to support GEJ in the same party (PDP) with him. He went against GEJ and even joined APC to ensure GEJ looses. GEJ, a wise man didn't even allow himself loose, he chose to quit and be relevant. After all, he had tested the seat already.

Atiku who left his home, PDP to join another home, APC thinking he would be treated as one of them got dissapointed and went back to PDP. Is it easy to get that power back to PDP? NOOOO

Everybody suffers it.

Only if southerners can drop their prides and love each other. If the love between SE and SS can persist even after some provocations from either sides, why can't there be love between SE and SW and SS and SW? There will always be quarrel among brothers but it doesn't stop the love.

adedayoa2:
Wow we have old men on this forum o, I was in SS2 as at 1999. I dey kneel down greet una o

I was in primary 5 then. I'm only hearing about this massacre for the first time.

Telkart19:
Breifly, the student union, of which Afrika was a part of was involved in anti-cult activites...and on the night 20 years ago, the school was invaded by gunmen, suppsoedly cultists, who invaded the hostel, and shot dead several student union leaders, Afrika inclusive.

(One of the excos escaped via jumping out of a window, while another exco was busy with Palm wine drinkers club activites elsehwere)

It was big news back then

(Not an Ife student...an Ife student can tell the tale better).

Some inncoent students died too...one was a 500l medical student who was coming out of the bathroom, and was shot dead. Nothing to do with the whole thing.

THE WHOLE STORY HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/2309675/1999-cult-attack-oau-what

Thanks

I don't know anything about the event. Can someone tell us how he fought for peace and got killed.

Nigeria means unity when a new state is added to the SE and their political power restored, all the regions given equal justice and not making a particular region the best.

ImmaculateJOE:
Buhari is lenient with these shiites group.
Had it been its Ipob that did this, the security personnel would killed all of them.

Buhari; Nepotistic Bastard son of a thousands fathers

And Oby Ezekwesili is busy crying for having Buhari in Asorock while she was one of the dumb persons that put him there. Una never see anything yet. This just the beginning.

I love Niger area

sholay2011:
See finishing...she is right though.

She is very dull for not have known this earlier before supporting him to that seat. I don't blame Buhari, I blame those who elected him, including Atiku.

Juliusmalema:
Lolzzz

This one done get angry already.

Unity beggars since 1800.

They easily get angry and feel intimidated when they're loosing an argument.

izombie:
if igbos are so worried about their investments in other parts of nigeria, why then are the igbos always want a country of their own? Why?
Like i said, the weakness in the south will always be yoruba moslems.

A very intelligent question here. Ride on

The problem is that only a few know about this. Majority don't.

I just hate when people argue based on sentiments. You see how people feel intimidated by a tribe? Talk reality, talk sense, let's come together and work together without feeling intimidated by the other. No one is laughing at you. You only feel someone is laughing at you. Nigeria can only be great when these tribal and religious sentiments are put aside.

Anambralstson:
Kid brain, your governor in Ogun recently borrowed #7bn to be able to pay workers salary, Oyo state governor recently declared Oyo bankrupt, while the dumb ones are over social media shouting IGR

Lol! No, they're right. South eastern states are poorer than Davido alone but the workers in those eastern states are always happy. While in some western states, the workers are busy taking snippers because of their salary not being paid. Even Osun state where the Davido is from has not being able to pay their workers that some have died of frustration.

ORIENTATION101:
control trade and commerce yet The monthly IGR of 5 south east states is equivalent to 30b Davido have in his bank account

You're right. Davido alone is richer than the 5 southeastern states combined. But the residents of those states don't beg for food. They are mostly their own bosses. They are always feeling happy.

ORIENTATION101:
so other Tribes don't trade and there re no Igbos working as salary earners

So, when I tell you Igbos don't have connections, do you think there are no Igbos at all without connections? We are talking about numbers here my friend. Even when the doctor was talking about Igbos loving business, he knows there are other office working salary earning Igbos. We are talking about majority. Common sense please!

ORIENTATION101:
yen yen yen. Okoro I saw ur brothers chasing buses with lacasera and gala on express today on my way to work. I thought all Igbos re millionaires

No, not all Igbos are millionairs but they are mostly hardworking and they start from somewhere.
Those guys you are seeing on the road may already own houses in their villages.

There's this my Yoruba doctor friend that calls me his son. He loves coming to my shop for gists whenever he's free. He said he loves the business nature of the Igbos and I replied him:
Doctor, let me tell you. When you are real with yourself, you won't find it too difficult. I told him that everyone was born equal even business wise. And why the Igbo man goes for business is because, he sees himself as not having the connection to work in most big companies. And so, the igboman embraced the truth and became his own boss knowing fully well that all these small small salaries companies offer him would not help him actualize his dreams. The hausas and Yoruba are more connected in Nigeria than the Igbos. So, the igboman begins to lookout for where he would be useful.
During devaluation, the salary earners suffer the most cos their salary is not increased but the igbo man sells according to the current economic situation. If price goes up, he increases his own price and that's where business is better.
