This is determination. Going against the odds. People see no sense in it yet thousands r willing to lay down there life's for this cause. What a world.
The indifference from others fuel the movement, believe it or not.

In a sane society...one where the voice and choice of the people matters, the gov't (which can't pretend not to know what IPOB is demanding since they've murdered them and ran to the courts to get a kangaroo order to have them proscribed as terrorists)....the gov't would have put measures in place for a referendum on the Biafra question to have the issue settled once and for all!

As we speak, Ethiopia has agreed to have a referendum for one of its regions that is seeking for autonomy! The United Kingdom that we like to ape has also done it with Scotland, yet here in Nigeria all we here is 'one indivisble nonsense'!

austinsmat:
bullet can not kill ideology

Sniper cannot shoot it yeeeh eeeeh eeeh!

I think you meant to say 'sword of Damocles'!

DonCaxton:
When will Ghana host all Asian leaders like this?

Or Nigeria summon all leaders from North and South America?

Seems African presidents are so jobless that any Tom Dick and Hiroshima can gather them together and give them lecture whenever they feel like.
Looking forward to when Africa will rise.

Sad but true!

We're yet to see an African leader with pride and fire in the belly to uplift the continent (black Africans) to the level they should be! Right now the rest of the world looks down on us and see us as a charity case...a people that need to be pitied!

StrongandMighty:
Good

Wait oh I just have one question to ask.. This Afonja pple celebrating the dullard president up and down more than his Fulani kinsmen, are they truly happy with the conditions of things in Nigeria or are they just doing it just be against the Igbos... Like since the Igbos are criticizing this government let's just be against them and celebrate this government?


Lastly, That mod simplyleo doesn't have the basic requirements & ethics of being an ordinary gate man in a village primary school talk more of being a moderator in public forum like Nairaland..

Is that guy a MOD?

Explains a lot!

Simplyleo:
Seems FFK is the only prominent Nigerian openly identifying with ipob.

He might be the Pioneer president when the dream come to fruition.

Lala will be very pleased with those 2 women.

We've offered to relieve you of him, while giving you Igbokwe and Orji Uzor Kalu in exchange....two for the price of one! You couldn't get a better deal anywhere else!

Why are those in 'native' attire all wearing northern ones? Did the persons organising the stand think this is ok?

kaorama:
The Gov can deliver this. He seems to be doing well.

My sentiments too!

I'm not being funny, but if any other south-east governor had shown this prototype as being the kind of stadium they're planning to build, i would have taken their assertion with a lot of cynicism and a pinch of salt! But having seen what Umahi has done thus far, i think he can pull it off!

OlujobaSamuel:
I talk am, this deal was designed to steal fund.
I don't think a responsible company should be interested in the dirty politics of blame game a country chooses to play with themselves, what they should be after is their fund.
The statement by this company sounds more like that of a naija politician than a responsible company.
Alpha Beta sef no fit release this kind statement.

Wasn't it your minister of justice that opened his big mouth the other day and said words to the effect that the entire affair stinks of fraud...invariably saying P&ID is a fraudulent coy? They're only responding to his accusation!

It's when unarmed innocent civilans are concerned that these thugs suddenly rediscover their mojo! This is why i don't pity them when armed robbers waste them!

otuekong1:
You are right,

Of course he will be right! Your intentions on this forum are quite clear....especially fronting with a Akwa/Cross moniker!

Nobody in their right mind....that is not up to mischief, will equate the way Ndigbo related and interacted with other ethnicities in the east with the way the Fulani from the Fouta-Djallon highlands related with the ethnicities they met in the north!? Even till today the entire country is feeling the effects of the Fulani expansionist agenda, yet you want to equate them with Ndigbo to justify your bile!

And you just had to attach that unflattering pic of Lagos didn’t you?

Terror? What terror!?

alphaNomega:
Exactly, and today you hardly find any Northern governor in opposition to this administration. This is why Biafra collapsed and will never be achieved again!

I think it’s a general southern malaise! We have no scruples throwing our people under the bus for pecuniary gain or to ingratiate ourselves with the core muslim north!

Another problem we have down south is ‘over-sabi’! We’re too smart for our own good!

Psoul:
FG closed an airport even before awarding a contract to repair and renovate the runway.
The State governors pleaded for a little time so that citizens will not suffer cos of the abrupt closure, FG refused.
This is part of the punishment to the 5% tribe.

No the FG will claim they are doing it to safeguard life. That is just a clean lie.
Why closing the airport when there was not even request for construction companies to tender quotations for the repairs.
A contractor has not even bn selected.
This will linger till next year.
Our ppl coming down for the Christmas will suffer it. Other local users will suffer it.

They have positioned their Fulani herdsmen kidnappers on all our roads to terrorize our ppl.
He who God don bless, no man can curse.

My sentiments exactly!

I hope people can see why IPOB is justified in targeting our useless elite! Was this how the shutting down of the Abuja airport was handled? Wasn’t the contractor (Julius Berger) primed and ready to go the second the airport was shut? Wasn’t Kaduna airport designated as an alternative, and billions spent on it to bring it up to standard (of course this was a sly way of making it int’l through the back door)? Wasn’t the Kaduna-Abuja expressway fixed as a consequence? Weren’t arrangements made for the protection of travellers shuttling between Kaduna and Abuja?

Our elite should have forced the evil Buhari gov’t to put the necessary logistics and safety measures in place before shutting down that airport!

emeejinsm:
This man dey try
How i wish okezie will do half of what this man is doing in ebonyi
Na to dey tour hotel with him boys dey shout i don make am

Hehehehe

MEGAWATCH:
To prove to everyone that this man is lying against Ojukwu. What did Ojukwu and Gowon discussed in Aburi Ghana and was witnessed by the OAU?
What was the AGREEMENT in Aburi Ghana?
Why was the Easterners insisting on Aburi they stand?

Some people are just looking for a reason (whether they believe it or not) to justify their actions during the uncivil war and assisting to sustain this killing field and concentration camp called Nigeria! Their conscience is always there to remind them they kid no one but themselves!

But when they did the Abuja-Kaduna one it was the federal gov’t that took care of safety and logistic issues! How comes the one of Enugu-Owerri/Asaba is now left to the state gov’ts of the south-east to worry about?

TSRC:
Yorubas have a lot to lose, so I can understand why they don't want to leave Nigeria.

Even Igbos have a lot to lose. A whole lot.

What do Igbos have to lose?

Could you also say what Igbos stand to gain by being in control of their own destiny....instead of what's presently the case where their destiny is determined and controlled by Igbo haters in Abuja?

leokid866:
Lol which international community?....you mean the same people who are currently focused on the G7 and massive protest in Hong kong....p.s what happened in Hong Kong is a real protest not this come and shout ipob is organizing up and down.

Funny thing is that IPOB were organizing such huge protests in the east....that is up until the time you lot got scared of their growing popularity, tagged them as 'terrorists' and proscribed them, and then sent python dance to go scatter proceedings!

jacksonkennedy:
I look at igbos determination to chart their own course even tho they are landlocked and not having a big city like lagos and i ask myself what is wrong with us yorubas? Why is there no serious independence agitation in our land? We are better positioned than these people to own a VERY progressive country. Is it because of oil? Wat will oil be in a few years with global warming getting more serious? Are we afraid to go to war? With who? If the east, west and south are agitating for independence at the same time, its a walk over. The north cant stop us. Are we afraid to go it alone? Why? The state of the nation has gotten critical enough that its time for the yoruba nation to abandon it. I cant even come back for xmas with all the insecurity in the land now...my God.

The issue with majority of Yoruba is they lack the self belief Igbos have to say enough is enough with this failed 'one Nigeria' experiment, and resolve to go it alone!

The issue is their leaders of thought like Tinubu, etc, are gaining a lot of business and godfatherlike status from the status-quo as it is, and since these people (and not the likes of Yinka Odumakin, etc) are seamingly the voice of the Yoruba at the moment, they are not looking at doing anything that will upset the apple-cart and hamper the opportunities and political-economy that's presently benefitting them....and by extension, Yorubaland in general! You will hear talk like 'the Yoruba are sophisticated and not given to acting on impulse like the Igbo....hence the acceptance of 'one Nigeria', since it can't be dismembered'!

The other thing is these group of Yoruba that would rather settle for 'one Nigeria' instead of an independent Odualand are mindful of the fact that Lagos owes it's present leading economic status in Nigeria and West Africa to the Nigerian political-economy obtainable from the late 60s to date! They are aware this political-economy, together with the input of ALL Nigerians (Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Uhrobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Effik-Ibibio-Annang, etc) are responsible for Lagos being what it is today, and since they are presently in control of the political structures of this Lagos, why do anything to upset this arrangement that benefits them *politically and *economically (*Tinubu )! They are aware that If Nigeria breaks up today (or even adopts total federalism where regions/states control their own resources like hydrocarbons, sea and airports, etc) that this will spell the end of Lagos as we know it today, and as a consequence, the benefits they're presently deriving from it!

Some of them that see Ndigbo as the competition that shouldn't be allowed to better them in anything also see the demise of 'one Nigeria' as benefitting the Igbos more than them! They are afraid of a situation where Nigeria is dismembered and Odua go it alone, while across the Niger the Igbos come to an agreement with the likes of the Effik/Ibibio/Annang.....agree to the articles of association, and form a confederation! Bearing in mind that Nigeria in general and Lagos in particular owes a large part of its success to the peoples that would make up this new nation in the east, and the inevitable withdrawal of these peoples from Lagos (and even Abuja), they feel this new nation would have bright prospects for success while they will be stuck with the Fulani in one form or the other! This they don't want to happen!

These are just a few reasons why you don't see the zeal for going it alone in the west as you see with Ndigbo....lack of self-belief, and being concerned with if the Igbo will benefit from the new set-up more than them!

She and her useless organisation should keep quiet! They're not feeding any Nigerian abroad so are in no position to tell anyone who they should or shouldn't associate with!

Funny how they've now found their voice to yap nonsense! Where were they when Mazi Kanu was denied bail by the Buhari courts on many occassions? Where were they when Buhari sent out his murderous fulani soldiers to mow down innocent Igbo youths in cold blood? Where were they when Buhari sent an entire battalion of fulani soldiers to Afaraukwu with the clear intention of murdering Mazi Kanu? Even now, where are these idiots to voice out their concerns over the mistreatment of Sowore and the miscarriage of justice playing out before our very eyes?

She and her selfish group of Buhari lapdogs should keep quiet abeg!

They’re still cooking the figures!

igwe699:
Buhari is gone

Walahi!

Good.....can’t wait!

PassingShot:


If not some kind of voodoo, how does one explain a directive by this terrorist asking his brainwashed followers to arrest and disgrace a sitting president, and they in turn attempting it.

Even, a normal 10 year old knows it's an impossible stunt to pull, yet we see adults acting foolishly attempting to carry out the order from their lord.


How a set of people can be this gullible, irrational and tactless needs to be studied as a major course in ivory towers.

You keep banging on and on about ‘sitting president’, as if that confers some kind of saintly and untouchable status! Weren’t the likes of Hitler, Mobutu, and even Emperor Nero once ‘sitting’ Heads of State!?

Even poor George Bush, the President of the greatest country in the world today, almost had his head taken off by a flying shoe aimed at him by an irate Iraqi, so what’s your point!?

Anambralstson:
There're parks in Onitsha, state Government also creating parks in Awka

These are ok, but i was thinking of something more in the mould of Millennium Park, Abuja; or Hyde Park in London. A place where you can go to with family or friends for a picnic, or to escape the hustle and bustle of the city!

Anambralstson:
More from Awka

First pic looks like early mor-mor! The atmosphere looks clear and there’s no dust/exhaust-fumes haze!

Can see some effort has been put into beautifying the state capital. This never used to be the case! But a whole lot more still needs to be done!

Awka and Onitsha are still lacking a well structured, maintained and expansive park that can help the cities to breathe, and where people can go to have some fresh air and relax!

Also, i’m still not seeing any effort to plant trees on the major highways and streets! You look at some of the pics (the flyover areas look ok) and all you see is concrete and tar!

Heheheheh

IPOB has really been tormenting these horrible 'one Nigeria' bigots! See how all of them have IPOB on their mind 24/7!

I don't like this idea of taking pics of people out on the streets trying to eke out a living, only to post them on social media to mock them!

There are Igbo hating bastards that hate to hear or see anything positive about Alaigbo! We shouldn't let them make us sink to their level!
