OddBall: Why would anyone kill himself or even put himself in the way danger for someone like Dino Melaye?......Dino melaye, I'mean it's Dino Melaye. It's not like it's Mandela or Ghandi or Jesus Christ. It's Dino f**cking Melaye. Damn!
Exactly
Bello is a threat to dinos political career because he has fg backing while dino is not powerful enough to influence the impeachment of bello.
So it's obvious dino would be more desperate and ready to clutch at straws to survive.
You're definitely employed by dino and he will not hesitate to sacrifice your life for his political survival just like he sacrificed the five people he staged gunmen to kill during his protest.
smellingmenses: Igbira are not known for peace.... Sense eludes you
You're definitely employed by dino and he will not hesitate to sacrifice your life for his political survival just like he sacrificed the five people he staged gunmen to kill during his protest.
Kemperor: Afonjas.... Why do i see women with top??... Clowns.... Choose a better theme for your protest next time... The funny thing is that the number of people running around in the street like headless chickens are just like a single soccer team...
No one does it better than South East...and some part of South South.... May 30th, 2017...
Yeah your IPOB prostitutes women always looking for the slightest opportunity to get naked like cheap strippers is what you are proud about abi?
Kennitrust: I was okada-man when I met her In 4yrs, I did everyething within my very best to keep the relationship But all she saw in me was "my little beginning". I begged her to stand the rain with me but she was already brainwashed by the other guy who came to her with big Jeep and enough cash.to lavish on her. Today the guy is not there again after making her a baby mama. Today, I am doing greatly fine and she is ashamed to see the okadaman riding on his own car.
boluwambe: Yes I do believe that better governance, more productivity, a committed, hardworking and more patriotic citizenry will be very difficult to achieve with the current over- sized Nigeria- both in terms of population and geographical size. And No I do not want the country broken into two- North and South as some have been clamouring; and not even along the three pre-independent regional divisions of North, East and West to form three countries, as I feel division along these lines will exacerbate the problems of the minority tribes the more than is currently the case with 3-4 large tribes subsisting to check mate each other in the current nation of Nigeria!
Before I come to my reasons or rationale for advocating for the break-up of Nigeria into smaller units, let me recommend that breaking Nigeria, peacefully, into Six countries, along the six geographical zones recommended by the 1996 constitutional conference will be the ideal thing to do. And now my reasons for the recommendation: 1. Nigeria, as is currently managed and with the type of technological and managerial personnel available to it, is just incapable of managing a huge geographical size of about 924,000 Square Kilometres and a massive population “estimated” to be 150 million people. Note the word “estimated” as Nigeria, in its current form cannot even reliably count its population without all the acrimonies and disputes from all shades of opinion, ranging from political, ethnic to religious groups because population have been, and continue to be used as a tool for deciding how many local government a state gets; how many House of representative members go to Abuja to share oil money to themselves and their cronies; and more importantly how much each state and local government gets into its “begging bowl” in the monthly oil monies sharing in Abuja, in the name of Federal allocation. Nigeria may not be the biggest to be managed as a country in the whole world but the challenges of properly running such a massive country with the dearth of technological and managerial capacity is proving overwhelming.
2. Corruption and indiscipline, the real bane of Nigeria’s underdevelopment and stunted growth will persist with the size of the country, especially with the claim of entitlement to oil monies without any need for competition and productivity by subsisting states. How on earth do you think that one EFCC, a single central bank and Police force will be able to monitor and regulate financial crimes and criminals across a large country as Nigeria? One EFCC chasing thieves and financial criminals across 36 states and the Federal capital territory and then 774 local government chairmen and thousand more councillors who are busy feasting on monthly allocations at the expense of long suffering poor, helpless and hapless Nigerian masses in the nooks and crannies of the country. Because the sheer weight of chasing too many thieves has overwhelmed the EFCC, even if it has the best intentions, they can only limit themselves to the big thieves in the banks, state and national public treasury looters. Local government chairmen theft, in millions of Naira, are considered as “Petty cash” and not worthy of been chased with the little resources that EFCC has. So they must prioritise to be able to even seem to be doing anything by on-lookers. Same applies to one Central bank overseeing the whole banking in Nigeria or one Federal Inland Revenue service trying to assess and collect taxes across such a huge area. The result is a poor regulation and governance across the board leading to inefficient and ineffective economy.
3. With such a huge population, all dependent on a mono-culture economy, there will always be unemployment, lack of innovation and creative thinkers and low productivity, if any production is even going on. Everyone is waiting for monthly allocations where state governors go to Abuja to share oil money and no one is thinking of productivity and generating employment for the massive population of unemployed youths, many university graduates, without a hope of gainful employment some 5 years after graduation and counting. Some may argue that the problem is bad leadership and lack of appropriate technology, governance and effective regulation, and whilst I agree with these claims I do think with the level of Management and technological capacity available in the country, the best leadership will still struggle with such a huge landmass and population. Forget about claims that Nigeria has enormous material and human resources: Material resources may be, and this has fuelled the looting and lack of creative leadership, but Human resources, I would say No. Where is the technology? Just go to South Africa, Brazil or even Mexico and see the technological capacity available and how these have been utilised to improve their infrastructure and transform socio-economic activities, never mind the advanced countries of Europe and America, and you will know that Nigeria really has nothing to show in technological abilities in comparative terms. Can we produce even a pin in that country? This is 2010 and Nigeria still cannot produce a fully “MADE IN NIGERIA CAR,” that is if they can even produce a Wheel of a bicycle!
4. If Nigeria could be turned into six countries, which the united nations should readily accept and recognise considering that these nations will still top a population of about 25-30 million people, each nation or country will find a way to survive rather than the current deceit and laziness going on among the regions and states. Governors and potential governors, ambitious politicians no longer think of how they will generate and manage state revenue to cater for the needs of their people, because they believe there is oil money to be shared every month. Why worry thinking of Budgets and financial planning? Just get the commissioner of Finance to Abuja and bring the monthly allocation and we can start spending and stealing with impunity!
5. And definitely employment in various forms will be generated and resources, including labour, will be better applied: think of six football countries instead of the current only one, Nigeria, competing for positions in the World cup, more athletes from six countries at the Olympics; more volley ball and Basket ball teams, and some like a country in the Niger Delta may even produce swimmers and canoeist for Olympics unlike now where, despite living in rivers, we do not have swimmers or canoeist at the Olympic stands. Laziness and unemployment is been encouraged by the sheer size of the population accompanied by irresponsible and clueless leadership. I believe that much more jobs will be created in all spheres of endeavour if we have six countries in place of the current just one called Nigeria.
LMAO... Op is an IPOB unity beggar.
Why did you lump the niger delta with the south east on that map?
deedeedee1: Baba answer his question. Will going to their land give them referendum. Only through referendum can they be assured that they will get their country, not by asking them to go back to their land just like that.
Na now day break for una abi? You no remember referendum before?
Where una put your senses before when kanu your prophet and lord was agitating for war back then?
Statsocial: You sound like a reasonable person so let me engage u in a conversation. The issue is not Yorubas not wanting to attend churches owned by Igbos but the fact that fewer Yorubas actually live in the east hence it looks as if Yorubas deliberately don't want to attend Igbo owned churches. By the way I am sure there are plenty yorubas who attend TREM for instance. But you see the most important thing is we cant politicize Christianity. If there is an Igbo man who carries the annointing then there is no way Yorubas won't worship at his church. As per Church leadership being arrogated to Yorubas only, I really don't believe that to be true. On the issues of Church Universities being cited in the south west-Pls understand that the universities are cited close to Lagos to feed the Middle and upper class of Lagos which can afford it and not part of any conspiracy to cite all church infrastructure in the south west only. Btw take the population of Covenant university for instance and you would see that the population between Igbo and Yorubas is nearly equal. Hence the universities serve the entire Christian body of Nigeria just as it was built Christians from all region.
AustineE1: At a time i thought you only sounded stup*d but you ve now erased every doubt in me. Your Arewa asked Igbos to leave but fail to recall there own people in the East atleast to show a semblance of seriousness,i thought by now they should have sent lots of Dangote truck to the East to start evacuating them from the East. No amount of propaganda or intimadation will stop the igbos from pursing a peaceful dissolution of this deformed entity called Nigeria. 'any idea whose time has come,is either you change by it or the wind of change will carry you into irrelevancy'.
SHAKABOOM: Hahahaha..Una dey buga ibos so them go talk say dem no want biafra again abi?We know una plans..Biafra is here to stay nigga..No amount of blackmail can stop us.
IPOB: i hate to be with you, i hate this zoo, free me so i can go my way. ZOO: okay i have given u ultimatum, you should leave my house, i dont want you to stay any longer. IPOB: Nooo, i am going no where, i dont want to leave the zoo but i will still agitate to leave.
bros1234: I think that the online hate is equal between both tribes and not one sided as you assume. For example, this thread was born out of a critical look at the entire scenario, but your contributions so far has only pointed fingers and insulted the Igbos, without even giving any objective reason to counter the conclusion of my first post. Now, here are two possible things most likey to happen as the discuss progresses...
1. If I want to match you word for word (Which I won't and you can't force me to) I would have started giving it back to you, using derogatory cliches and all that
2. Someone else will bump into this thread, read the contributions, quote you and match you word for word.
So you see, it's a 50/50 thing. The NL Igbos believe you are insulting them and want to give it back to you. And the NL Yorubas feel same too. That's just what's happening.
Now the big challenge comes when one lets this becloud his real life judgement, such that he can't reason again outside that perimeter. This thread is simply asking you and others to try and reason a bit outside the perimeter of NL Igbos Vs NL Yoruba fighting. Don't fail the readers.
It is not 50/50 because it's only the igbos that insult every other tribe in Nigeria as if their existence depends on it.
They particularly detest Yorubas because we're the only ones that returns the insult and hate back to back.
They insult hausa, yoruba, islam, Pentecostal Christians and non Catholics, Yoruba pastors, Osibanjo, Buhari etc. No other tribe does that except you people.
Kanu doesn't need to talk openly like Ojukwu when he can talk secretly with the international community to achieve Biafra
Silence is Golden
Na fear catch you, no be any yeye strategy
I noticed that since the Arewa youth gave the Biafra people quit notice, your noise has reduced on social media. Can you imagine IPOB begging for time?
AustineE1: why are you so worked up,referendums are carried out by the government in alliance with notable international bodies,but all we hear in Nigeria is igbos should go home first. Isnt it a shame that they left everything behind in the 60's and others fed on there effort and yet followed them to the east to continue the evil union. Fast forwarded to 2017,they parasitic lots are beginning to eye there investments,Gods willing Nigeria will break up but this time around there is going to be victory and no more free meal. No more monkey the work bamboo dey chop!
Lmao... Be there deceiving yourselves. You will wait for 1million years before the zoo dashes you referendum.
You are actually waiting for the "zoo" to conduct referendum for you abi?
ZombieTERROR: When you quote me make sure you have something meaningful to say... First divide the country ... Then they are coming back to meet a government or structure in place... Now fvck off my mention
So you are waiting for someone else to divide the country for you? I thought that's why you abuse Yorubas of sitting on the wall and hiding behind igbos to secede from Nigeria.
kingzizzy: Answer this simple question. If all Igbos returned home, how will that give them Biafra?
You want to build a country of your own but you don't want to live in it?
Does that sound sensible to you?
What is actually stopping igbos from making the south east highly developed right now as they claim it will be. What exactly is stopping them? Just answer that question...
"That even the Eze Igbo Gburugburu himself, the late Ikemba Nnewi, Gen. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was betrayed"
In 2003 PMB running under the banner of the ANPP picked an Igbo, Chuba Okadigbo as his running mate. The East voted PDP. In 2007, PMB picked another Igbo, Edwin Ume-Ezeoke. The East voted PDP.
He later picked a Yoruba, Tunde Bakare in 2011. The Igbo voted PDP.
Then, in his fourth attempt in 2015, he chose another Yoruba, Yemi Osinbajo as running mate. The Igbo voted massively for PDP but PMB won!!! PDP had it's own strategy. They courted the West and North to get the vote and used sentiments to get votes from the East.
Politics being about numbers and alliances, PMB aligned with the SW and became president. And the Igbo said the Yoruba sold out by supporting the North when they (the Igbo) missed the numerous chances they had to align with the North.
We saw in the Last elections in 2015 that a candidate only needed strong votes from the North and votes from one other region to win the presidency.
If the East had gone with the North each time they had the chance to so do, we would have had an Igbo President before now based on our zoning system.
Even our "Biafra hero" the late Emeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu - "Ikemba Nnewi" - contested the Presidency and for Senate but my people voted against him throughout. They preferred instead, OBJ, YAR' ADUA & other candidates from other regions!!!
kingzizzy: Igbos going back home will not give them Biafra. They tried that system in 1967, Nigeria still came down to the East to fight for 3 years to bring them back into Nigeria.
What should happen now is that the North should put pressure on Buhari to conduct a referendum as IPOB have asked, then we can go home
Stop all the cowardly excuses, this is 2017 not 1967.
You mean you still want to remain in the zoo? Common you are bigger than that. Just pack up and leave with or without referendum if really the course you are fighting is a genuine one.
Besides the onus rests on you to conduct your referendum yourselves because you are the ones agitating for secession. If you are waiting for abokkkis or Afonjas to give you referendum, then you are truly helpless slaves who can never take any action without permission and approval from your masters.
GameGod: Lol I thought i was the only one that noticed. Our dilector is in silent mode
IPOB: i hate to be with you, i hate this zoo, free me so i can go my way. ZOO: okay i have given u ultimatum, you should leave my house, i dont want you to stay any longer. IPOB: Nooo, i am going no where, i dont want to leave the zoo but i will still agitate to leave.
You want Biafra. They chase you out of Nigeria. Instead of siezing the opportunity to go back home enmass, you say you are not going anywhere. I expect great jubilation and joyous celebrations. I expect mass movement. I expect the Ghana Must Go scene which I witnessed. Truck loads of Ghanaians, moving out. With Jute bags which became nicknamed "Ghana-Must-Go" bag.
If you want Biafra all you need do is go back to the East enmass. Refuse to trade with Nigeria. Refuse to have anything to do with Nigeria. When you are going back, no policeman or soldier will say "why are you travelling"? Freedom of movement to your states of origin is a fundamental Human Right. In my opinion. No one is holding you back but yourselves.
It doesn't even matter if a few of your elders are in the service of Nigeria as appointees etc. Ignore them. Build your Biafra, when it is as rossy as you claim it will be, they will have no choice but to go back to their dear Biafra.
So for all intents and purposes, this is the opportunity you have been praying for. Leave the North. Go back home. Build your utopia. Boycott everything Nigerian. Biafra is being given to you on a platter of gold. Your leaders are saying they are not going anywhere and daring the North to attack them. Be united in purpose and be ready to go through the "pain" and "surgery" of achieving a good and perfect Biafra. This pain will involve leaving your businesses, property, etc. But it is for a good cause. Child bearing comes with some pain. The birthing of Biafra will not come without sacrifices.
Nnamdi Kanu says Nigeria will beg Biafra to go. The North has told you to go. So take the opputunity to do so. If Nigeria does not let you leave you will blame all your troubles on Nigeria. It is for this reason alone, that I support Biafra. Everyone needs the opportunity to take the chance and go the distance. So sieze the chance. You have been given till October. The distance between the major parts of the North and the East is generally less than 24 hours by road. I should expect a great jubilation when the North asked you to vacate without a gun shot. I expect a great exodus. Your leaders should come together and choose a course of action.
If you understand strategy you should take this golden opportunity. Pharaoh as asked the Jews to leave Egypt. What are the Jews still waiting for? They now refuse to go to the promised land. There is no red sea in this story. The promised land is known and available. No need for scouts and no need to traverse the deserts. Again I am expecting a great exodus. A huge one. When citizens of another country are not wanted anymore they are expelled. You are Biafrans and Nigeria has expelled you. So go back to your Biafra and gladly do so.
If this opportunity is not taken, then the Biafra matter is just that of a people trying to constitute a nuisance, disunited in purpose and annoyingly empty in character. Biafra has come, take it and stop the indecision. Stop worrying about what you will loose. These are necessary. South Sudan lost a lot after the referendum including the rights to pump it's oil through pipelines that go through Sudan to the export terminals. They had to negotiate the fees/cost of pumping South Sudan's Oil.The South Sudanese did not bother about their property in Khartoum. Theirs was even worse. They were never told to go, the way the North has peacefully ordered Biafrans to do. This is a once in a life time opputunity. Take it.
Do not start wondering what will happen to your investments. To your market of about 150 million Nigerians. Your perhaps about 40-60 million Biafrans are available (we do not know your true population figures). Trade with them and find new international trade partners. Do not start bothering about what will become of Lekki, or Festac, or Ikeja, or Ikorodu, or Abuja or other areas you "developed". In my opinion, only a foolish man develops another man's land and leaves his own and then he even boasts about this to the world about this great mistake and miscalculation. It is when you have developed yours to your satisfaction that you then extend your good developmental gestures to other "less fortunate people".
Unite in purpose. Buhari is not even in the country. Osinbanjo is more reasonable. Take the chance. Move ensmass. Exodus out of all parts of Nigeria. Move back home. Organize yourselves. Ignore everything in Nigeria. This opportunity will never come again. You are putting your hope in ICJ and UN etc. Time and time again, these organizations have stood by and watched endless maacascre of innocent civilians. Syria, South Sudan etc. Even the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War.
You claim you have all the businesses. You can cripple Nigeria. Nigeria is a zoo. Your footballers are the best. Your women are the best. You are the most industrous. You are the most brilliant. You are the most hard working. You are the most advanced. Your exodus alone should then help you win this agitation. So, cripple Nigeria by leaving. Destroy Nigeria by removing all your services. Obliterate Nigeria by withdrawing your elite. Stall Nigeria's evolution of her human gene pool by taking back your pretty light complexioned igbo girls. In fact go back home and lock your shops again. This time, lock them for good. It has come to you easier than you imagined. The next time you are coming to Nigeria, do so with the ECOWAS Passport or a Biafran passport. Pay the Nigerian Visa Fees and go through the process. Refuse to enter Nigeria with a Visa. Yes, if Nigerians say come in, you say "no,that will be illegal since I am an allien. Could you please grant me papers"? If they refuse you go back to Biafra.
The struggle has moved from opening fake propaganda online and lying about how Asari supplies weapons and how Donald Trump warned Buhari. It is this same lies and fake propaganda that contributed to the loss of the Civil War. People hardly knew the facts from fiction and leaders couldn't make rational and calculated decisions. The struggle is now beyond propaganda my dear Biafrans. It has come and stares you in the face. It is real now and no more mere rantings on the internet and other forms/means of mass media and mass communication. Take it the opportunity. It has materialized. I mean see the news in the Zoo city of Lagos. Animals are even treated better than Zoo Animals, Nigerians.
