givedemwotowoto:
You’re being too emotional. Use logic and answer this: Is it safe to say Tinubu destroyed Nigeria’s economy under Buhari’s Presidency, and has continued from where he stopped?

Kai see dishonesty and shamelessness. Dogara stated Buhari printed 22 trillion Naira that damaged the Nigerian economy horrendously.

You rush ignorantly to attach Tinubu to what you assume will be a 'bullseye' hit against PBAT you can serve up for your fanatical and illiterate enemies-of-progress army here who lack the capacity to read or research.

Lo and behold, in haste, you did not realize the recommendation of Tinubu was valid and made during COVID 19 when nations were indeed deploying the strategy in effort to facilitate human and economic survival.

Shown your ignorance, rather than retrace steps, you double down in shameless and distractive change of your own topic to now make issues about Tinubu destroyed Nigeria's Presidency under Buhari.

You are shameless. Aside disgracing yourself not acknowledging you erred and owe PBAT an apology, you show you are an incorrigible hater with the claim above in bold because we were all alive then to note Tinubu was not someone Buhari included in his Government let alone took advice from.
[b]
In fact Tinubu was totally ostracized from the Buhari Presidency literally from day one. We all saw this live and in HD despite the desperate lies you all wish to spread now seeking to link Tinubu with the failure of Buhari[ and his cabal./b]

Buhari, as informed Nigerians know, throughout his Presidency, operated and made decisions with an inner and-all powerful cabal consisting of Abba Kyari, Mamman Daura, Issa Pantami, Malami, Ismaila Isa Funtua, Hameed Ali, Babagana Kingibe, Abdulrahman Dambazau, Lawal Daura etal. They had their Southern boy boy and hatchet man Emefiele always available to use CNN as their unlimited ATM


The sad thing is that you people, because of all the malevolent thoughts and emotions driving your behaviour, you will always be amenable to be used by the real enemies of Nigeria Obi is now visiting up and down to prostrate before.

MadPolitician:
Lol
The man speaks from both sides of his mouth and defecates from both sides of his waist..

He supported Buhari on every issue as long as that meant that Buhari would hand over to him.

Now that he has succeeded in "grabbing power and running with it", he has maximum power and doesn't seem to know what to do with it.

The only thing in his mind is to tax, tax and tax..


Set awon "tax and spend" presidency ..
Ndi Tax and Spend

You people are always rushing to speak ignorantly to confirm the claim the black man does not like to read.

There is no "speaking from both side of the mouth" from PBAT. Only your ignorance and the desperation to demarket and demonize PBAT, so Obi profits electorally, driving the desperate claim of you and OP.

Tinubu made the valid and economically sound recommendation during COVID 19 while your messiah Obi and ans the Dubai dweller Perennial Presidential candidate were silent and nowhere to be found.

This is a policy that made sense to the extent nations adopted it as an emergency strategy to fight a fearful epidemic that plunged humanity into uncertainty over human and economic survival.

Tinubu did not ask Buhari to print money when Nigerians were back to work, factories, businesses and commercial activities of private/public sector back to normal.

That was on Buhari and his 'inner crew' of Maman Daura, Malami, Emefiele and co. We were all alive to note this and even saw Tinubu bravely criticising some of Buhari's wrong decisions while Obi and Atiku were nowhere to be found.

Yet you people now want to say PBAT instigated Buhari to print money amongst the million other things you accuse him of "forcing" Buhari to do just so you can attach him to Buhari's cabal-driven failure that did not include Tinubu.

I don't like Obi, from a leadership viewpoint, but won't lie against him because I am not unprincipled and the sort to use anything, including dishonorable antics, to malign him.

I don't need to. His many actually and proven failings are well-documented and plentiful.

Yet I personally and passionately believe Karma, or whatever God a man serves, punishes those who lie and do evil against others deliberately. Keep it up against PBAT.

@OP.

The only thing you and your co-travellers in ignorance have succeeded doing is to show that primordial hatred of others can indeed comprise intellect and the ability to do basic research to then render even educated folks illiterate.

Tinubu made the valid and economically sound recommendation during COVID 19 while your messiah Obi and the Dubai-dweller Perennial Presidential candidate were silent and nowhere to be found.

This is a policy that made sense to the extent nations adopted it as an emergency strategy to fight a fearful epidemic that plunged humanity into uncertainty over human and economic survival.

Can you or your hero Obi argue economics with Tinubu you should be learning from yet always rushing to insult ? Shior.

Keep shooting yourself in the foot letting hate and emotions dominate your life to keep you ignorant and backwards.

Eriokanmi:
See response to your fake post below, in case you've forgotten . You're not wise at all

https://punchng.com/tinubu-to-buhari-print-more-naira-notes-suspend-vat

Bro, you are the unwise one who is ignorant to boot, Tinubu made the recommendation during COVID 19.

A policy that made sense and nations adopted as an emergency strategy to fight a fearful epidemic that plunged humanity into uncertainty over human and economic survival.

I would not be were I am today if I am like you and others always emotional and never pragmatic, research -driven or critical-thinking enough to at least try to look at issues dispassionately so your solutions provisions capacity, and thus your success in life, is more or less guaranteed.

Most of you just hate someone or something so primordially to the extent you are always ready, as default behaviour, to fit your bias towards crafting arguments, such as how you dragged out an article you are ignorant of it's content or context , to demonize that thing or person without even understanding you may have blinded yourself to how the thing or person may hold the key to your success.

Can you argue economics with Tinubu you should be learning from yet always rushing to insult ? Shior. Keep shooting yourself in the foot letting hate and emotions dominate your life to keep you ignorant and backwards.

Smartcitizen:
That same useless Bat that supported him in his complete 8 years nonsense rule?

I don't know why most of you can support the devil as long as he is from your region.


Nawaoo! Even God is ashamed of most of you here.


🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

You're not such a "Smart citizen" if you cannot separate political support for a leader from the need of that leader to still perform.

The onus was one Buhari to perform. Not Tinubu who has the right to support his Party's candidate passionately.

I normally would not bother responding because anyone still at your stage of naivete and lack of sophistication about politics, talk less of Nigerian Politics, is a toddler in terms of politic nous and pragmatism.

I only responded to provide one answer to all who quoted me to speak as you did and all who may do so.

Godfullsam:
this is an opinion of one man. everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. We all know that regional government is inevitable if nigeria must move forward.

I wont even blame the so called northern elder, i blame those who abolished regional system of government in the first place. i blame ironsi and his goons.

Karma is a bagger , it has a way of paying back. That is why the region than abolished regional government are the people crying for it today more than others.
the region that removed the secession clause from the constitution are the one shouting GIVE US BIAFLA upandan.

Karma is a bagger.

100% correct. Only unrealistic, parasitic and unthinking folks, too delusional or ignorant to accept reality, such as this Northerner, would believe otherwise.

You cannot defy reality such as how bandits, who have killed hundreds and sent too many to count into IDP's across Nigeria and displace many thousands beyond the Nigerian border, are attending "peace talks" across the North.

They are offensively and openly displaying prohibited assault rifles and multiple magazines proudly, whIle Kanu, who I am no fan of , is languishing in jail.

No option of "peace talk" or amnesty for Kanu and IPOB yet Nigeria claim they (bandits, Boko Haram, ISWAP and their leaders along with IPOB and it's leaders) are all terrorist.

One approach for the terrorists in the North, another for those in the South.

That is not a nation meant to be together. It is a nation sitting on a keg of gunpowder. It is 'day and night' regions forcefully merged together that thinking men understand can never become one and will only worsen till something horrendous happen.

What is sad is that Nigerians are never a proactive people and will not do the needful to forestall disaster. We love doing things the hard way and at devastating, bloody and fatal cost to ourselves.

Regional autonomy, if regions are not allowed to become independent nations, is inevitable. Just depends on how it arrives. Peacefully or bloodily.

It is as Victor Hugo said, a long time ago, shown below.

@Topic.

This Northern elder is fooling himself. There is no future for Nigeria other than regional governance. It is not a choice but what existential necessity and evolution will force on us so far as the same Northerners will never allow the balkanisation of Nigeria.

The only option is whether we choose to accept the inevitability of regional governance to be proactively reasonable discussing and working on the modalities of it's delivery so every region can be supported to thrive and compete under it.

Or we continue to toe the line of this Northern elder and riaking getting to a point where the Rwanda ethnic cleansing horror is a reality for us.

MadamExcellency:
Without regional government, the Yorubas will lose Lagos State as the majority tribe in the next two decades as the cost of living skyrockets.

Someone makes a statement about regional Government concerning all Nigerians yet you can only talk of Yorubas losing Lagos?

Are we the only ethnic group in Nigeria for you and is Lagos the only State of our Country? What of your own State of origin?

Can you not try to gain impulse control so you don't expose what your mind is totally and malevolently obsessed with 24/7?

Some of us have tirelessly made the same point Dogara makes now. The problem is that ignorance and ethno-religious hatred of other will not let many accept what is our truth and reality per the abysmal state of the economy Tinubu inherited.

Meaning he had to perform immediate and urgent surgery on a patient , I.e Nigeria, that was seriously sick and nearly dead.

The very ill patient was prevented from dying yet every reasonable person will accept a period of recuperation will be required to gain full health onwards to being a productive member of society.

That is what the Nigerian situation is from when PBAT took over till today. 2 years and 4 months into his Presidency.

badoh:
Sebi they always use money to oppress people who are doing legitimate businesses, by the time the court slam 20 yrs imprisonment on top of your head, your family go hear whim.

The irony of the matter is that they are always quickest pointing fingers at others.

Whereas people capable of feeling shame, which is most normal human beings, would actually be silent and contrite at the antics of their kinsmen that is now at epidemic level globally.

NSK4U:
Brown roof people at it again. They only conceal the names which involve them. Yeye propaganda people

Lol. You lot and slow news jam bigotry. You've disgraced yourself. You are always guilty of being quick to accuse others of what you are most guilty of by far.


Keep shifting blame while the world sees a culture of get-rich-quick global criminality taking a firm grip of your people.

Liberia: Nigerian National Sentenced to 5 Years for Piracy On High Seas

15 September 2025
The Liberian Investigator (Monrovia)
By Garmah Lomo
Published: September 15, 2025

Temple of Justice, Monrovia -- Criminal Court 'D' at the Temple of Justice has sentenced a Nigerian national, Michael Oputa, to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to piracy, theft of property and criminal conspiracy in connection with the 2023 hijacking of a Chinese fishing vessel in Liberian waters.

Judge Mameita Jabateh-Sirleaf handed down the ruling on Sept. 15, 2025, following a plea bargain agreement between Oputa's defense team and state prosecutors.

According to court records, Oputa and an accomplice attempted to hijack the Shanghai-2, a Chinese vessel, in July 2023. The Liberia Coast Guard intercepted the pirates after a heavy exchange of gunfire and arrested two suspects.

One of the defendants, Titus Ezenna, was later released after the court determined he was an unintentional participant, hired by Oputa to measure petroleum products without prior knowledge of the piracy plan.

Plea Bargain and Sentencing

During trial, Oputa's lawyer, Cllr. Bestman D. Juah, entered into a plea bargain with state prosecutor Cllr. Jonah A. Kerkulah to reduce the sentence. The court accepted the agreement, noting that Oputa had been found with the firearm used in the attack.

In line with the plea deal, Judge Jabateh-Sirleaf sentenced Oputa to five years in prison, retroactive to the date of his incarceration at the Monrovia Central Prison in 2023.

StJasper:
You said my attempt to sound intellectually superior fell flat!!!! I don't need to prove anything to an intellectually empty vessel who only believes whatever his puppet master(s) want(s) him to know.

I was old enough to participate in the IBB/MKO protests in 1993 and others. I even grew up in a home where every political action is known before it took place. So, I know what I am saying.

To know how intellectually empty you are, you said SDP was registered in the year 1999!!!! You must be suffering from Neurological Haemorrhage.

Only two political parties participated in the 1999 presidential election. Please fact check this.

Concerning Tinubu, he was a key member among those who founded AD. They refused to stay in PDP and APP because of Abacha Boys. Please fact check this too.

Tinubu was the only AD governor who won the governorship election in 2003 because he refused to fall for Obasanjo's gimmicks. Late Baba Adesanya and co fell for Obasanjo's gimmicks after they have been settled by him. Tinubu tried to dissuade them from towing that path but they said he knew nothing about politics except activism.

Tinubu tried to sell his vision of the party becoming the ruling party in Nigeria but they told him that will be impossible. Please fact check this.

This incident led to breakdown of relationship and trust between Tinubu and those elders and he teamed up with some of the former AD governors to found AC. He was the founder and major financier of AC. Please fact check this.

On his quest for political territorial expansion, Tinubu accepted other political groups and pressure groups into AC and the name was changed to ACN. This same ACN teamed up with other parties to form APC.

Tell me one single party built or founded by your Messiah.

Thanks for schooling that irritant. All they know to do from, time immemorial, is obsessive and blind worship of 'messiahs', whether mediocre or talented, they are linked with through ethnicity.

If not, and if they have the capacity for speaking the truth, they will admit Obi, per proven political leadership, is not fit to wipe the boots of the great Jagaban.

Shimbo96:
Still the same party but different names.

He is even trying to be clever by half but failing in the eyes of those who see issues clearly.

The question to ask mischief-making Obidients is what was/is Tinubu's role and achievements in all those Parties?

Let us then ask same question for Obi , Rhodes-Vivour etal and the pictures becomes crystal clear instantly.

This is because what we are dealing with is akin to claiming two men are same or comparable because they own 5 houses each whereas one owns palatial homes in Monaco, Miami, London, New York and Paris while the other owns all his five 2 bedroom bungalows somewhere in Upper Iweka and Agulu.

StJasper:
Your response confirms the fact that your education is either a waste or you are too young to comprehend anything logical.

SDP was proscribed by the military. AD metamorphosed to AC, though some people still went to raise the corpse. AC changed name to ACN while ACN joined other parties to form APC.

It's either you know the truth or you just can't comprehend the truth.

Let your Messiah build a party from the scratch like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu did.

You are addressing an ethnocentric and myopic individual working his usual angle of ethnic messiah worship for a way below average charlatan in the form of Obi.

As if this issue, for knowledgeable and truthful Nigerians, can lend itself to redundant pedantism and whataboutism those lot shamelessly revel in.

Fact, for honest Nigerians, is that names of political Parties associated with political leaders does not even reveal 1% of the picture.

It is about the role and status, in those Parties, of politicians.

Obi destroyed APGA with his bigotry, divisive antics and hideous lack of leadership talent. This was a Party he was meant to be the father and leader of, to take to greater heights, after gaining it from Ojukwu.

Like an unworthy prince would destroy a Kingdom he is not fit to lead, if he becomes King, Obi took APGA backwards horrendouslyand steeped the Party in ethno-religious bigotry and scaremongering against 'outsiders, "Yoruba Party" etal.

He then fled to PDP, a Party titans built in ways he could not do with his local champion lack of leadership talent, to go and seek personal ambition.

Cowardly, he fled PDP rather than face his Fulani overlords during the 2022 Presidential primaries of the Paryt. In Labour Party, it has been one crisis after another festering destructively because of Obi's weak, divisive and incompetent leadership. Today, we are not sure whether he is in Labour or desperation of coalition ADC.

Ditto Rhodes-Vivour who does not even deserve much comment here.

Then Tinubu, the ultimate boss of all bosses in Nigerian politics. As lone AC Governer in the SW, in 1999, he led exemplarily well, developed the grassroot strenght of the Party to then single-handedly create the ACN that went on to oust the PDP from the South West by 2013 when APC,with Tinubu a founding father and brains behind the merger, was formed.

ACN, by 2013, had captured almost all States in the SW with five Governors and Oshiomhole to make six. Plus many federal legislators as at time of coalescing into APC.

Important also that Tinubu had succeeded making ACN the official opposition Party tp PDP by 2013 before it merged with others, CPC etal, to form APC.

Per being a powerful founding father of APC, with many bridge-buildind sacrifices and incredible victories he prosecuted for the Party, Tinubu stood his ground, whereas Obi fled PDP, to emerge APC Presisdential candidate and of course President.

There is so much I have left out but it should be obvious Tinubu is too talented and literally thousands of miles ahead of others.

The only people who disgracefully deploy, lies, propaganda, half-truths and outright deception to attemp bringing Tinubu to the mud-infested level of lowly political bed-hoppers, like Obi, are simply displaying their innately dishonest nature and inability to give credit to others.

The image below, since they say pictures speak louder than a thousand word, is a reminder fact of the extraordinary achievemens that defines Tinubu and the rare stratosphere he operates in that the like of Obi cannot get 0.01% close to if they lived 500 years and engaged in politics for 480 of those years.

Belurved1:
Politically, he is too young for all this write up. Allow the poor kid to grow.

I think so too. Too young and too 'green'. Inconsequential, talentless, lacking substance, not particularly intelligent (from his Q and A engagement with Nairalanders here), unwise, divisive, grossly inexperienced, no history of distinct private or public sector leadership etc, etc.

Not someone APC, that 100% has Lagos on lock for 2027, ought to be giving acknowledgement and unmerited publicity. He amounts to nothing and is no threat to APC and should thus be ignored for that very reason.

Typical gathering of bitter and frustrated wailers. Una go talk tire while PBAT continue to works tirelessly and resolutely to deliver a Nigeria that works for everyone.

Basic123:
Peter OBI introduce 2 phrases to them 1.State capture 2.Structure of criminality

Lol, true that. Afterwards they began parroting them all over the world. Their girl ask for money, "structure of criminality" is the response. Jokers 😅😅

seunmsg:
State capture how? What is state capture in an attempt to amend a law? Will the law not pass through the Senate and the Federal House of Representatives? Can you break down exactly what is wrong with the proposed amendment and how it constitutes state capture?

For 8 years, Atiku and the PDP government failed to reform the oil industry. Instead, Atiku as chairman of the National Council on Privatization sold almost half of our national assets to himself at giveaway prices. He came on national television before the last general election and boasted that he will sell the NNPC to his friends. So, what advice can such a character offer the government? When people are talking about certain things, Atiku should keep quiet.

You should know that so many here do not even understand the meaning of words they use. He has heard "State capture" somewhere and thought it sounds nice leading to his desperation to now use it senselessly.

Pascal9:
They have run out of cash, when will gullible Igboman learn that this is a means to extort them through manipulation.

Indeed. So many are using Biafra to cash-out from gullible, ordinary and naive Igbos who donate what they can barely afford in hope of seeing Biafra that so many charlatans have assured them will be the end of all their problems and suffering once delivered..

I will not doubt it if Kanu, with no skills and no Job, is a a multi-billionaire.

Bhella5:
Useni was a thief, Ozekhome a bigger thief. The bigot completely ignore that fact instead he was fishing for how to divert the convo.

100% correct. This is how all reasonbable, dispassionately fair and non-partisan individuals thinks and talks.

Not with deceit to absolve their brother of fault.

criuze:
The constitution of Nigeria is not superior or above the universal declaration of human rights , the right to self determination and self pursuits

Needless to tell you that Nigeria is yet to have a constitution that comes from the people , what you have is a collegations of British common laws , millitary decrees , customary dichotomies ,the sharias, and besically a collection of conflicting world views that couldn't organize any decent society

Nigeria is an expression of racism, the biggest landmark of Whiteman destructions of Africa's power and future and his claims of superiority

Declaration of Biafra and the wars and struggles is enough statement to understand that the people needs to be free from sinking sands called Nigeria


Dont think the igbos won't survive, they have been surving before those ships left Europe for africa

This is another example of how, correctly, I always refer to you lot as lawless and unreasonable.

lawless and unreasonable leaders, the type you lot love following, like OJukwu and Kanu plus Ekpa etal, will just some make inaccurate and fraudulent announcements and millions of you will start parroting same up and down as if gospel truth and established/enforceable fact.

Please see below and cure your ignorance about the bolded in your post above. You cannot "pursue" secession outlawed by our constitution and binding on all regions and people of Nigeria.

It is this patently unreasonable nature and disdain for law, binding on all Nigerians, that caused the devastating war you blamed other Nigerians for.

Same is behind the IPOB lunacy destroying your region today that you are finding numerous ways to blame other Nigerians for also. Good luck to you people chasing your "right to self determination and self pursuits".

Bhella5:
Is Ozekomi now a Nigerian Politician? Shior!

You don't know that bigot. He wants to divert attention away from the crooked and thieving Lawyer, who is Igbo, to make it about Jerry Useni alone. I.e the alleged owner of the Property.

Is the opportunist attempted daylight robbery Ezekome wanted to perpetrate against a dead Politician not worse?

Look at the glorified crook pretending to be lawyer. Imagine the criminality of trying to claim the property of Jerry Useni he is aware died in January this year.

What a brazen crook. Next minute he will prancing around pontificating like a Saint attacking PBAT. Ole.

Olichoke:
Unserious group

More than unserious. Add duplicitous, deceptive, unreasonable, deceptive, lawless and irresponsible.

Jughead29:
One Nigeria hasn't helped this country, we must be realistic. Imaging people who knows the truth but decide to hide it just because of religion and tribe.

Many of us resent 'One Nigeria'. The point is that we must go about issues, the right, reasonable, lawful and feasible way.

Fact 1, we know secession is outlawed by the Nigerian constitution and an act of treason. Unless the constitution is changed to facilitate constitutional amendment, then no region can secede even they make noise for 200 years.

Fact 2, Northern legislators will never allow a secession clause included in our constitution as the feel most unprepared to leave the union and be on their own despite their public posturing.

Which reasonable, law-abiding, progressive and critical-thinking Nigerian will not admit, giving the above, that another option to secession should be considered id indeed some people are serious about leaving the union.

Lo and behold regional autonomy, the choice of the progressive and critical-thinking Yorubas, who understand regional autonomy is secession in all but name.

We have hosted it before successfully and it allows every region to have self-paced control over their socio-economic progress and direction plus retain the many advantages the Nigeria union has.

Such as huge markets etal that remains available to all Nigerians even under regional autonomy whereas this would not be the case with the balkanisation or Nigeria.

It is obvious, given the above, some are using the Biafra decades-long noise to cash-out and blackmail others. They are not serious.

If they were, and given the facts, it would be obvious Biafra is an exercise in futility whereas regional authority, granting the control they seek over their own socio-economic development and fortune, is the realistic and achievable option they should be chasing as the Yorubas are doing.

Instead their legislative leaders are seeking more integration into the land and affairs of others with promotions of a rubbish bill seeking to remove state of origin from the identity of Nigerians.

Good luck to duplictious folks, with hidden agendas, who can never say what they mean and never mean what they say.

adicius:
Go ahead, have your Biafra. I guarantee you it will be a lawless country like Haiti ruled by gangs and hooligans who wouldake it mostly unlivable.



.

Absolutely. Men of science, research and knowledge know and understand how current realities are fairly accurate indicators of what will obtain in future.

A people who do not face the fact that many in the SE have violent and criminal inclination, with a high dose of innate lawlessness and disregard for constituted authority, as we see with IPOB, yet they reckon others are their problem and once they have their own nation it will become Dubai plus Singapore combined overnight.

I laugh. Is this not same region that birthed Awkuzu SARS that are the most murderous in Nigeria even facilitating human organs harvesting and trading? Awkuzu Police station is regarded as "the most brutal police station in Nigeria".

Look at how many of SE youths, under IPOB , have naturally and gleefully embraced serial killing, execution, decapitation etc, as if second nature, to the extent we saw a character "Gentle De Yahoo", or whatever, execute three young men on camera for the world to see.

Refusing to confront reality, and rejecting being reasonable, is their main problem. If not, they will see and accept other Nigerians they curse daily are way better than them and even a blessing to them. Never their problem as they love claiming daily.

I would grant their Biafra today if I had the power. Walahi. Just to watch them forced to lay on the Hell-like bed Biafra will be with no option of fleeing to the SE, North or other regions since entry compliance will now be needed unlike when they had the freedom to pack a Ghana-must-go bag with their belonging and wave 'bye bye' to the SE enroute to other regions of Nigeria.

orikoku:
These people never learn? I wish you guys best of luck.

My sentiments too. As the saying goes, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again to expect different outcome each time".

We all know, thanks to Nnamdi Azikiwe, secession is outlawed by the Nigerian constitution and considered an act of treason if declared. The civil War happened because Ojukwu declared Biafra. Simple.

Where, if certain people are sane and rational, should the agitation for Biafra begin if not aggressive lobbying, at the very least, of their federal legislators to move the motion for a bill to facilitate the inclusion of a secession clause in our constitution to allow regions that wish to secede leave the Nigerian union peacefully?

We have never seen them lobby their legislators and leaders to pave the way for Biafra. Yet, for decades, their noise remain "Yorubas and Fulanis do want us to leave". They are "unity beggars". This and that.

Obvious they are not serious about leaving Nigeria, confirmed by how , atypically, they leave the SE permanently in their thousands daily for the region of others while shouting Biafra blackmail noise up and down.

If Nigerians were full of intelligent, progressive and critical-thinking adults, then the only reply MASSOB and co should receive, when they make their redundant Biafra noise, should be "go and lobby your legislators and leaders".

Gaining Biafra is not in the hands of the average Yoruba, Hausa or Fulani and a pragmatic, reasonable and balanced Biafra agitator will know this.

Meaning it is very wrong to be shouting insult at ordinary Nigerians daily while they hypocritically and totally fail to hold to account their federal legislative leaders who are the only ones who can help secure Biafra.

Rather we see Ben Kalu seeking greater integration into the States of others yet we do not see any so-called Biafran agitator vehemently condemning his action.

All this inconsistent, hypocritical and aberrant behaviour is the reason no non-Igbo takes their Biafra noise seriously. The truth is that, for decades, MASSOB, IPOB, Kanu, Ekpa etal have just been using secession to cash-out gullible ordinary folks they brainwash to view other Nigerians as their major problem and headache. As you concluded, "best of luck" to them.

Mbanda:
List of lies yorubas like telling themselves and their gullibles:
1) Ojukwu caused the war.

2)Azikiwe is the one that made it impossible for anything secession in Nigerian law.

3) January 1966 coup is Igbo coup even when one of the key actors (ademoyega) and IBB who happened to be an insider, made it clear in their books that it was actually not an Igbo coup.

4) that Igbo land is barren with no mineral resources.

5) that oil is ondo is bigger than the whole oil in 5 SE states

6) that tinibu won the 2023 elections

7) that Igbo land is underdeveloped

You have issues. Obvious to smart folks what those issues are.

DomPerignon:
I called their bluff several years back.

Biafra was a time-out session for Enugu to lick their wounds and regroup.

They must have ruled out the north following the shege dey saw over there, but events prove that their focus was now to conquer the entire southern Nigeria.

One of their favorite authors , Max Souillan, wrote on his web page a few months back that greed was Biafra's undoing..

Max who has written favorably and sympathetically on the Biafran side, is having a review of all his position on biafra and was saying Ojukwu should have learnt from the khazarian invaders and occupiers of Palestine, whom since 1948 had bbenn slowly stealing and occupying Palestinian lands.


If Ojukwu was truly interested in secession , why invade the Midwest and from there launch an attack on the western region?

How did he think he could pull such stunt ?

You will never get a single one of them to provide truthful and sincere answer to the question you pose above.

Let us not forget, as confirmation they will never change for the better, that they are same people, only recently, who wanted to revise their Igbos coup atrocity as "effort to install Awolowo as head of State".

This was after IBB, appropriately nicknamed "Evil genius " and "Maradona" for his ability to decieve others and warp narratives to get his ways, threw them a lifeline with his deceitful revision of past event that many others outrightly reject and refute.

They are incorrigiblly driven by expansionist greed and the desperation to dominate others plus commandeer their assets to add to their own.

That is what is behind all the problems, from time immemorial, they have brought upon themselves yet, till today, prefer to blame others for rather than accept responsibility.

DomPerignon:

'He(Ojukwu) is not interested in secession but rather conquest''

- Awolowo.

Comments made after discussing with Ojukwu .

100% correct. Ojukwu's descendants, including the lot on Nairaland and their heroes like Kanu and Ekpa, remain the same.

Exactly how, when they settle in the land of others, they only seek domination and not assimilation.


They think they can fool others their agenda is secession rather than conquest. As if there is a single example of people dedicated to secession worldwide who behave as warped as the SE lot fo in terms of typical conduct of people who want distance and freedom from others.

Imagine bro, you hate my food, ways, dressing, culture etc yet you insist on living in my house rather than moving elsewhere and staying away from me permanently.

They can talk all day and forever. Yet they will never note that their hypocrisy and aberrant behaviour means the intelligent world can only conclude they are insincere and duplicitous folks who never say what they mean and never mean what they say.
