South South and South East should be a different federation independent of each other

Why do you say so, but don’t equally suggest same for disparate ethnic groups in the so called ‘south-south’? And what’s your own ethnicity?

Had i been Governor, all these estates would have looked even better!

Dottore:
He said the damn truth. The Governor is the worst presently in Nigeria and the history of Enugu State.

Hehehehe

The one given to Oliver Twist looked more appetising!

DONSMITH123:
Nothing last forever.

Diamonds are forever...forever....forever!

orisa37:
Igbos have become Toothless BullDogs.

I’m assuming you’re a ‘one Nigeria’ apologist? Bearing this in mind, could you tell me what you suggest the ‘toothless bulldogs’ do?

Carefully ruminate over the answers you want to give before posting them, because the question has the potential of being a ‘checkmate question’ of which you’d have little or no room to manoeuvre around!

MetaPhysical:
They didnt just walk out, they told the Ibo leaders they should do their worst but their fulani boys will not be cautioned not to carry arms.


What an audacity! On Iboland fa...they said that.

This happened after a bloody herdsman had repeatedly cursed and bossed an Ibo farmer inside his farm.

Fulani just dey treat Ibo any kind way they want right there in Iboland.

If care is not taken i believe they will take over SE, if not already done.

Ibo na coward sha!

You couldn’t sound any more unhinged even if you tried!

So you think it’s only in Alaigbo these bloodthirsty murderers illegally carry arms!? Our problems would be half solved if we didn’t share the same country with daft, crabs-in-a-barrel fools like you!

spendoon:
Who will invest in a region that is trying to seceed the government is building rails in regions that believe in Nigeria, so by the time the government is done with connecting the north, west and south with the required amount of infastructrue to boost industrilazation we can happily expel you guys

Nice one!.....Can’t wait!!!

Just one more thing though....when Ndigbo/Biafra is ‘expelled’, just know you two-faced, hypocritical and bigoted schmucks are going to pay back all those billions of dollars of loans you stupidly took to fix up just your own regions! The facts are one ground’ as they say!

Ojiofor:
What if they choose to wail,how is that your business?
Why were you wailing and gnashing teeth everywhere when Abiola's election was annulled, why didn't you take it in good faith and accept Shonekon as your president?

Hehehehe

Checkmate!

unbitchable:
sin party?.. interesting!. When Buhari was about visiting southeast shortly after his inaugural tenure, you resisted and told him that you never wanted him on your soil. what else do you want him do?. you can't eat your cake and also have it.

Quit acting daft!

If Buhari likes let him never set foot in Alaigbo till he kicks the bucket! However, denying Ndigbo their due for as long as they remain in ‘one Nigeria’ and continue to pay taxes and have their resources exploited...that there is the vindictiveness and evil of which i speak!

The mere fact you think a region should only receive their due when they vote for a president and shower him with ‘love and affection’ shows how deficient your understanding of democracy and freedom of speech is!

You must be having a laugh! What nonsense ‘sin party’ are you yapping about!? You’ve seen from (2015 to date) how vindictive and hateful the evil party has been towards Ndigbo and the south-east, yet you have the temerity to use APC and ‘sin party’ towards Ndigbo in the same sentence!?

Malawian:
The only reason igbl land is this beautiful is because igbos don't like being intimidated by their neighbours. My mum just went and reroofed our village house with witchtech roofing sheets because my uncles own was looking better than ours.
When we come to the village, every one will respect himself and do his bigman inside his own parlour.

Hehehehe

This is so true! But it’s one of the reasons and not the only one!

Guestlander:
There's nothing Nigeria did for any section of the country which if left alone they couldn't have done for themselves.
You could have made more sense if you asked what ibos have done for Nigeria, or themselves.

You know, i actually agree with the assertion in your first paragraph! Problem is, some sections/ethnicities in Nigeria don’t have that same confidence in themselves, and this is why they cling on to ‘one Nigeria’ like their lives depend on it!

Your second paragraph makes no sense because if you posit Nigeria hasn’t gained anything from Ndigbo and Alaigbo (with Alaigbo i’m also including Igboland in the so called south-south) then why did they (Nigeria) fight a uncivil war to continue having the privilege of calling Ndigbo ‘compatriots’.....and why today do they fret, worry and go ape at the mention of IPOB, Mazi Kanu or secession!?

topboss1:
JEALOUS YORUBA'S, NOW, LET KEMI TO GO AND MANAGE SOUTH AFRICA ECONOMY.


ABI BECOS NGOZI BECAME FINANCE MINISTER ON MERIT, ALL OF THE GREEDY ENVIOUS AND PARASITIC TRIBE, THE BRITISH PUT WITH US IN NIGERIA WANT THEIR ILLITERATE WOMEN TO BE FINANCE MINISTER.



PLEASE, SEND THEM TO BE FINANCE ADVISERS IN SOUTH AFRICA.


U WILL FOREVER ENVY IGBOS.

This is way out of line! I know you don’t have a personal quarrel with the lady you uploaded her pic, so the targeted abuse is way out of line!

Nanorest:
If Nigeria is divided today, which of the party will be be held responsible to pay back all loans taken so far by both past and present government? Will it be swept under the carpet?

This is one of the things that will be discussed in meetings preceding the breakup! This is why i laugh at those who say in the event of disintegration, that they will covert Igbo properties or attack Igbo interests still remaining in their territories! You try that and all bets are off....you can then keep all the loan repayments for yourself! More so when Ndigbo benefitted next to nothing from all these billion dollar loans!

I hope they broke his thick head!

ckenneths:
Chukwu gozikwaa Enugu

If Chime was still the governor i’m sure Enugu will look much better than this! He didn’t talk even a quarter of what Ugwuanyi is talking, but he did a whole lot more!

MelesZenawi:
To be frank this is dry.

I am not seeing anything

That’s cos you’re looking at the pics through hate-tinted glasses! Take them off and look again!

Coldie:
Kaduna is about to receive 30million dollars from the Fg for economic rejuvenation.

Apart from that Kaduna has a rail system directly to Nigeria's capital city, in fact the only one in existence.

Apart from that Kaduna has benefitted back to back from every govt in power.

The comparison is not fair

They know it within them but are too proud, arrogant and stubborn to admit it! What one sees in the south-east is engineered mainly by individual and state effort, and not federal might and cheating as is the case with cities like Kano and Kaduna! As we speak Buhari has borrowed money (all of us will pay back) to build railway to connect Lagos with Kano....still no mention of Enugu, Onitsha or Aba!

spendoon:
Oboy see our region like Dubai instead of throwing insults let them show us what they have got

What you see there in Kano is mainly as a result of the unequal playing field and political-economy that, since the late 60s to date, favoured the core muslim north over and above the south-east! Not only that....we also have a situation where you wicked bigots have held Ndigbo down and denied us our due while you greedily grab more than is due you! A good example is AIIA Enugu that’s been shut down for about 8 months now on the excuse they want to fix runway! A similar situation with Abuja airport occurred when the runway needed to be fixed, and it was done and dusted in a little over a month....with better planning and logistics! They’ve now given a date of before Easter for AIIA to reopen, but adhering to even that timeframe is looking unlikely!

Now given the brazen wickedness elucidated above that is ongoing as we speak, why wouldn’t Kano have a advantage over Enugu as a consequence!? This is just one of a myriad of instances: there’s the ojoro LGAs, bogus population figures as well as near useless huge landmass used for calculating federal allocation to states, etc!

Ebidosia:
The Aba I know before Ikpeazu has tremendously improved though there's still room for more. I can count several roads that were not motorable which are now okay. MCC, UKAEGBU, OCHEFU, OSUSU, OVOM, EHERE, and many more. No single government can finish all there is to be done in Aba. Make una stop to dey recycle these old pics abeg

I suspect many of the pics they post to bash Aba are old ones! But this is where the docile Aba youths on social media need to be proactive....they should ask the uploader of the pics to tell them where in Aba they were taken, and then if indeed the roads have been fixed and the pics are not a true reflection of what's currently on ground, they can burst the uploaders bubble by posting the more recent ones they took. Simple!

CsRockefeller:
I've been to Aba, and I can boldly say that Aba issues are over hyped.

The place is not as bad as the media potrays it. I was there last year.

Of course you should know it's a hatchet job! The OP belied his true intentions and displayed his bile towards Ndigbo in his second post!

Whenever a Igbo (could be Abaribe, Mazi Kanu, etc) calls them out on their bigotry, greed, divisiveness, hate and anti-Igbo agenda, they go and pull out the 'Aba card' (either that or the 'Ojukwu card'): one of them creates another thread on the city, and then the rest of them fall over themselves as they storm in to get their anti-Igbo rant and abuse in ASAP! Works like clock-work everytime!

You'd have thought the way they abuse Ndigbo over Aba (whose useless governor rigged himself in for a second term in office), that their own cities and regions would be El-Dorado by now!

FrLukas:
Assignment for you, count the number of times you used the word "bigot" in that your claptrap of a writeup.

that should tell you something of yourself.

only a fool goes to war without planning and then expect the other side to feed it.

i dont expect you to understand that since you are just developing grey matter.

people like you only learn after repeated falls into the same damn hole.

your forefathers suffered catastrophic defeat because of lack of planning.

you, their offspring will still fall into the same hole they fell into because you can't learn from history.

you are talking about Germany, are they making the same mistake their forebears did?

you are comparing yourself with sensible people.

Germans admit their wrongs and the reason for the holocaust. they don't shy away from it. they don't lie to themselves to make themselves feel good.

that's way more than anyone can say for you guys. jumping up and down and following a failure like Nnamdi Kanu shows that you haven't learnt a thing from the failure of your fathers.

Apart from the Biafra war, mention any other war your forefathers ever fought in?

be going about beating your dried and bony chests and be calling others cowards.

when you are spanked hard again, you are free to lie to your children and their own children that it was the Yorubas that pushed you to war.

Stands to reason that when i'm addressing a disgusting bigot, i call him out for what he is! If you wanna count how many times i correctly label you for the scumbag you are then that's your effing business!

Ndigbo/Biafra did not go to war, you revisionist twerp! It's Nigeria that brought war to Ndigbo/Biafra! The primary function and responsibility of any gov't is to ensure the protection of lives and property of all its citizens! It is on record that Nigeria was incapable or unwilling to do this....even when Ojukwu told Biafrans to return to the north, that assurances had been given that the safety of their lives and properties would be guaranteed by the Nigerian state. Unfortunately, the pogrom continued unabated and, with their backs up against the wall, it was at this stage that Biafra declared secession from Nigeria! It did not happen on a whim or for no reason as you suggest!

You yap on about my forefathers suffering 'catastrophic defeat because of lack of planning'! The only reason Biafra lost the war was due to the help the useless Nigerian forces got from foreign powers and the unwillingness of the int'l community of the time to act in the face of gross human rights abuses and war crimes! You pathetic and shameless arssholes could not face the Biafran army on the battlefield....man-to-man. It's on record that Nigeria suffered more losses on the battlefield than Biafra did, and this is why in frustration, you resorted to targeting innocent none-combatants.....strafing farmlands and (like Adekunle said) just about anything that moved! You got Cameroon to help out with the blockade to ensure int'l assistance meant for the civilian populace couldn't get through. This was the suggestion of Awo to Gowon. The fact that innocent none-combatants would also be targeted didn't bother Awo......'all's fair in love and war' as he said! Like i said, man-to-man, you couldn't defeat the plucky Biafrans, and so you went for plan-B, which was war crimes, human-rights abuse, targeting of the civilian populace and blockade!

Of course Ojukwu made some mistakes and could have worked more on gaining int'l support from the right quarters! This could be blamed on his relative youth and inexperience in governance, diplomacy and int'l affairs.

If faced with the kind of evil experienced in the late 60s, i can tell you for free we (Ndigbo/Biafra) would do the same thing again! This time though the dynamics at play in the 60s are no more obtainable! Be rest assured that any war in Nigeria like the kind witnessed in '67-'70 would sound the death-knell to 'one Nigeria' as we know it, and at the very least, Ndigbo would seperate from the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba as a consequence!

What wrong do you want Ndigbo to admit when we were not the agressors and instigators like Germany was? Or are you now saying Ndigbo voted overwhelmingly to send Nzeogwu and co to go murder the leaders of other ethnic groups?

Mazi Kanu that came back, looked the devil in the face, and -to all intents and purposes- called him a crazed muthafucker....only escaping to Isreal (one of the most protected territories on planet Earth) when Buhari decided to throw legalistic niceties to the wind and go try to muder this 'thorn in his flesh', is the person you're calling a failure!? The story is still unfolding.....at the end we will know who has failed and who hasn't!

Captainrambo2:
We re too divers. The benin man hates my guts. My kin hates them too.

Niger delta country scares me wallahi. Ok I'm here in esan , I see people living far off in those ogoja axis as complete strangers. I know ibo people sef, but you see efiks, anangs, kakabari, I nir sabi them. They re just as close as fulani people.


I would rather prefer we join south east or south west, than this yiu phantom south south with a billion clans that hate each other. I for one dont want to share a country with the ijaws


That aside the country is borrowing 22billion dollars one drop of it isn't coming to my town , how much of that money was allocated to niger delta ? What does niger delta even mean ? You see the igbos , youruba people and northerners they re the ones benefiting from Nigeria.
People living in north central and those living in this south south re foreigners here

Hehehehehehe

mrvitalis:
Nigeria know for we to move forward merit must be the bases of selection ...the problem is if u use merit igbos would come on top and dominate like the 50s and 60s

So instead of igbos to dominate let's keep moving in circle ...n never allow them leave cos if they leave in 10 years they can develop weapon to strike any part of Nigeria at will

To be honest, if merit is enthroned over and above quota-system, affirmative action and federal character, it would be mostly Igbo and Yoruba that would lead.....this can be seen in the present day national achievement metrics!

But this would mean the Hausa-Fulani would be relegated to the back-burner, and this is why hell will first freeze over before merit trumps other primordial considerations!

Aunty Ngozi making us proud again!

They should get Soludo on board as well!

I think it's only a Nigerian that can understand the situation of the people begging and overlook it! I don't see it as a problem whenever i visit, and even feel good about giving something that may mean the difference between someone having food for him and his family or going without! But i can understand how it can be a problem for foreigners.

FrLukas:
Why did Ojukwu starve Biafrans despite food supply from Red Cross and Caritas.

Why did Ojukwu run and abandon his people to the mercy of the federal forces when even an American youth, set himself ablaze for the sake of Biafra in NY.

Why did Ojukwu prolong the war even when he saw his people's suffering?

The freedom you fought for, have you gotten it?

You are the ones who consider yourselves as slaves.

Two words you overuse in your vocabulary, slave and coward.

Tells a lot about you as a people.

It's easy for a bigoted, Igbo hating busy-body to ask all these dumbass questions with the benefit of hindsight! Had Hitler won the 2nd world war, i'm sure they'd have been revisionist pricks likewise asking silly questions, like why the allied forces did this and that....why did they engage in such apparently dangerous missions like the D-day Normany landings, etc.

Ndigbo/Biafrans do not expect a bigot like you to understand the pains we went through in the events leading up to the Biafra declaration of secession...the frustrations, fears and feelings of having our backs to the wall! Being what you are, we expect you to make light of the entire situation....pick holes in our responses with the benefit of hindsight....and give smug, unsolicited opinions on the matter like, 'Ojukwu should have listened to that two-faced, double-speaking slimeball you call a sage'; 'why did Ojukwu feed his soldiers in a war and 'starve' civillians'.....overlooking the fact it was your gods suggestion to Gowon to mount a food/economic blockade (a war crime) that led to the scarcity of food to begin with; 'why did Ojukwu decide to end the war and go in to exile'....this dumb question comes immediately after the one asking why he 'starved' his people. Of course you had hoped he would have stayed behind for the bloodthirsty and murderous Fulani army and the Nigerian gov't led by Gowon and Awo, to get their hands on him and do to him exactly what they did to thousands of his kinsmen during events leading up to and including the uncivil war!

Ndigbo may consider ourselves caged and under siege in 'one Nigeria', but we don't consider oursleves as slaves! We leave that consideration to bigots like you and your ilk.....who are doing a good job of it, i hasten to add!

PHijo:
I don't remember chatting with you. I would have ignored your stupid rants but doing that will be misconstrued.

Ask your fathers/grandfathers why Igbo people sent other children out of public schools.

The fact that the NdiIgbo are suffering some of the things the "so-called minorities " suffered under their oppressive rule is a victory.

The fact you don't know about Nigeria's first secessionist movement by Adaka Boro tells that the complexities of Nigeria's contemporary issues and her history are beyond you.

If Ironsi was acting on behalf of 'one Nigeria ' he couldn't have had issues with every other ethnic nation except his Igbo ethnic nation.

Revisionist twerp, you're waffling and miles away from making any point that remotely sounds like a well-reasoned and factual argument!

Ask my grandad 'why Igbo people sent other children out of public schools'? Dude, WTF are you on about....but more importantly, WTF are you smoking?

I asked you to provide evidence/links to butress your claim the Boro secessionist bid was a pan-NigerDelta affair like the Biafra bid was initially a pan-EasternRegion affair. Show evidence where the Boro secessionists held discussions with the Nigerian state, and on reaching a stalemate then decided secession was the only option left. Show me the ethnicities that were to make up this new Niger-Delta republic Adaka Boro was aiming for and the limits of its territory. Finally, show me the command and control structure and give names of other notable individuals (Ijaw as well as those from the other ethnic grps that made up the Niger-Delta) that were part of this bid.

Like i said earlier, Ironsi was acting on behalf of Nigeria.....Ndigbo didn't send him to go quell anything! Adaka Boro (that schooled in Igboland at some point) didn't have any issue with Ndigbo as a ethnicity, rather he had issue with 'one Nigeria'.....made up of Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa-Fulani, Nupe, etc. If you now want to sell the narrative that Ndigbo as a ethnic group stood in the way of the Boro bid for secession, can you show how specifically; and conversely, can you show how other ethnic groups like say the Yoruba and Fulani supported said bid for secession?

Ironsi didn't 'have Issue' with any ethnic grp....rather it was some ethnic grps that had issues with him arising from how they perceived his handling of the aftermath of the Nzeogwu coup and the coupists. They also had issues with him for being Igbo....and any number of reasons can be adduced for this, depending on which side of the argument you are. Reasons for them 'having issues' with Ironsis' ethnicity include but are not limited to: bigotry, dislike for Igbos, fear of domination by Igbos, perception of Igbos being greedy and power-hungry, inability to compete on a level playing field with Igbos, etc. So, like i said earlier in relation to the Boro bid for secession, Ironsi was acting as a Nigerian and not Igbo, hence any blame for his actions should be directed at the Nigerian state of the time! Leave Ndigbo out of your rant!

Zooposki:
Please you guys should relocate to your Biafra, and stop claiming minority states.

Pathetic, insecure git!

You've somehow managed to convince yourself only Igbos from the south-east are tired of your divisive, hateful and bigoted ass, and want a seperate country from you! As you can see even from this thread, you're barking up the wrong tree: Igbos in the so called south-south are not planning on staying back to continue 'one Nigeria' with you, and if you can't imagine an existence without the Ndigbo you despise, then TOUGH!

PHijo:
You are dumb or ignorant! In the first place the so called minorities are suffering today, courtesy of Igbo elite actions between 1950 till date.

Do your research, nobody wants to be a slave. The stupid Aburi accord Ojukwu and his associates flaunt would have enslaved the minorities permanently with no hope for freedom.

If things were well, Adaka Boro wouldn't have been the first to attempt secession. Ironically, an Igbo was head of state and another Igbo was eastern regional governor when Boro led his secessionist movement.

You’re an unmatched idiat!

You want to heap the mess you bigoted scumbags wrought on this shithole of a country on Ndigbo that last held power at the centre in 1966!? You no well!

The minorities would have been slaves to whom, and in what way!? Didn’t Ojukwu declare secession after meeting with all the ethnicities of the then Eastern Region!? I suppose said ‘minorities’ are free today and not slaves to ‘one Nigeria’ that you schmucks convinced them was a better option!? They control their resources; have pollution-free waters; have a equal shot at being president of their country....and can do two terms in office without being railroaded out of office; and have cities, seaports and airports equal in status with say Lagos and Abuja!?

What was the nature of this Adaka Boro secession you keep on yapping about!? Which ethnicities were consulted and part of the bid!? Was Ironsi acting in behalf of Igbos or ‘one Nigeria’!? By you mentioning the Boro secession bid, are you now in support of it, or is this just looking for a way to blame Ndigbo for something!?

Your homework is to go and read up on the Ahiara declaration to find out the kind of egalitarian society Biafra was poised to become!

solmus:
we would marginalize you till year 3023, besides you cant you see east west road.. and we know your dream as an ibo man is always to cross river niger and come to the west

Is east-west road in the south-east?
