Ngozi123: I don't actually trust any Nigerian newspaper so I take anything that they say with a pinch of salt. The song that they published has actually been confirmed by other sources so I believe it. This, however, is propaganda driven by paranoia that many Nigerians seem to have against Ndigbo.
If many Nigerians hate the igboes then who are the people that loves the igboes Please tell me. And as twitter not confirmed the identity of Churchill okonkwo?
Ngozi123: The fact that SaharaReporters chose to publish this deceptive article is just as disgusting as that vile anti-Igbo song some Northerners conjured up. For Ndigbo who don't think that they are hated in Yorubaland, this should be enough proof to show you otherwise .
Ndigbo should boycott SaharaReporters for this nonsense.
Churchill okonkwo has been writing on Sahara reporters for a long time that much i know. But for you to choose to vilify them for publishing a piece written by a demented biafran is is very hypocritical of you. I am now very convinced that you iboes have mental issues. On one hand you believed that there is a hate song against the iboes out there been circulated by the northerners which was published first by Sahara reporters, on the other hand you choose to vilify them for publishing something written by an ibo man because it exposes the real greed in an average igbo.
ipodstinks: Wow, I did my IT in this company in 2013/14. Here are the letter of acceptance and work we did then. I was their design engineer in mechanical department. I worked at the office in falomo.
I think you should take down that acceptance letter. For the the sake of your privacy. You never can tell what this potopoto Republic people can come up with. It's essential you maintain your anonymity on a faceless forum such as this.
kn23h: Then keep shut and stayed hidden in the shadow as you do when they insult Yorubas. For many of you sha, it's not your fault. It's your ignorance.
You don't know what you have in the SW. You don't know the companies Yorubas have. You don't know our agricultural and economical values.
You spend your days dancing to skelewu and reading lies from flat heads on twitter.
Then when asked if you want a Yoruba country, you say no because you think Yorubas need Nigeria.
Unfortunately for us, your ignorance hurts the whole Yoruba tribe.
If you can't can't self-cure your ignorance, then best believe that we will drag your likes as far as we drag the imbe.cilic ibos on this forum.
rosebowl01: so basically, ibos in SE are relatively poor because the rich ones are in Lagos? My question to you is; if ibos have that tendency to be rich, why are the ones at home relatively very poor going by all the stats?
Think about this, a lot of Brits moved to new land i.e. Australia, Canada, US etc, but UK did not become poor as a result. We know it's hard (ego), but just admit the truth sometimes.
hmm... very sound logic. same for the jews in America and Europe are successful but the homeland (Israel) is not poor.
Call uncle emeka in idumota to send pictures of his industries in Lagos. Call aunty ngozi to send the pictures of her own part of 44trillions naira in north
gbolah1: Aside Innoson motor, can you mention any other factories own by Igbos. Yoruba has mention thousands of industries on this thread that employ millions of Nigeria and expertrate. stop this your reasoning so that you can grow positively.
Ẹgban, the narrative should be YORUBAS OWNS 90% OF INDUSTRIES IN LAGOS! not the other way round. don't give them the joy of comparing themselves with us any longer. we must change the narratives.
Ekealterego: Your IGR in Lagos, who is responsible for its size? You sit in your home and know what's going on in the south east. Lol who is fooling who?
Ekealterego: Your own case is different. In a different group you claim to be Edo, another one you are Delta, here you are Yoruba. Where do you belong to? Impostor!! The truth is, the Igbo are the engine room of trade and commerce in Nigeria. In the industry, we dey also. SOME Yorubas might have old money in the past but that is past as you can see from the brown roofs that is characteristic of your towns.
shoekoodi no mind the yolobas, we are Lagos developers. that is why we most carry Lagos matter for head like Gala.
Ekealterego: Yoruba 3rd largest economy in Africa? Lol. Why are you fooling yourself.. what indices did you use to come to this conclusion. Reality check my friend, 95% of Nigeria's total earnings comes from crude oil. Then, if you remove Lagos (which is not an exclusive Yoruba state (Igbos own most of the choice properties there by the way), South west won't be different from the North East. Apart from that, on a per capita basis, it is clear that Yorubas are not richer, so what are we saying? I agree that you might have more old money than the Igbos but when it comes to new money, forget it, you don't stand a chance. Look for something more plausible to post than posting tissue paper owners and plastic chairs which you have been using to spam the thread.
Keneking: Igbos are very respectful and they are doing very well...
In the present Nigeria , this officer from the East would be equivalent to a Major rank.
What is the problem of igbo with with the penchant for wanting to claim every good thing as theirs even when it is blatant that this dude is YORUBA.
Or since when did OPESANMI became an igbo name?
Didn't you see that the young man prostrated? that is the hallmark of Yoruba culture and tradition; Only yorubas prostrates in the whole world to greet their elders not igbos. that alone should tell you he is a full blooded AFONJA WARRIOR.
paschu: Normally, I hate wasting my time trying to educate an arrogant ignoramus kid whose brain is nothing but a bag of sand.
But for the sake of posterity and reasonable bystanders, let me debunk your falsehoods and baseless inuendos.
I actually did not mention referendum in my first comment, but "modalities and obligations for peaceful exit". However, as expected, a sand-filled head cannot comprehend the import. Plus, it's grossly idiotic not to know that negotiations (modalities and obligations) for peaceful brexit is still ongoing between the EU and UK and will continue till 2019.
As a sand-filled head, it was impossible to see that despite the acclaimed international recognition for Biafra, the genocidal war still raged on. Do you know why the war contiued and degenareted into a fullscale genocide against the igbos? It is simply because Nigeria refused to recognize the soverignity of Biafra.
So, this time, nothing happenes unless Nigeria admits both LEGALLY and POLITICALLY that Biafra is a soverign state. That's the STARTING point. Until that full recognition is given, no demon in Nigeria can expel the igbos from any part of this country again.
This madness up there is the falsehood you see when a kid is deprived of history by his own government. If not for the sand-filled head, a little googling would have shown you that before Ojukwu (or anyone else) even thought of declaring Biafra, there was a national call and agreement for all active soldiers to return to their respective regions. And while all the Nothern soldiers in the East were safely sent home, the Northern soldiers on the flip side murdered many Eastern soldiers on transit and shipped their dead bodies back home in bags. Yet, here you are still wondering why the Biafran spirit has refused to die, 50 years on.
Well, you have already been dared severally to bring it on. But, just so that you know, unless the Nigerian government both LEGALLY and POLITICALLY acknowledges the soveregnity of Biafra, neither you nor a trillion ugly demons working in folks like you can expel any Nigerian from any part of Nigeria. If you think you can pull it off, just try it.
Hurry up and enforce your dumb threat and let's see how it ends.
Child of perdition. I am totally not surprised at your vituperation. Certainly it has to be either genetic disorder, DNA malfunction, a major curse from the gods, your flatttt head or all of the above that makes you children of hate and perdition; from the east of the Niger – to always have the penchant to abuse at the slightest opportunity. You can't make a sane debate without it resulting into insult. you are definitely cursed.
I will not respond to the gibberish you wrote up there because there no amount of fact or proof i give you that will make you turn over a new leaf. you have been programmed from birth to hate and blame all tribes in Nigeria but will rather praise a 33 years old man that led over 2 million of your people to their death and later fled like a coward to ivory coast dressed like a woman. came back and contested for the presidency of the same country he tried to break.
What about Azikiwe? in May 1967-January 1970, Azikiwe at first supported Biafra, but in August 1969 came out against Biafran secession and in favor of a united Nigeria. that sounds like a flip flop leader to me, He was a Bat; neither a rat � nor a bird �. In short he was a saboteur.
Yet you fail to see that your problem as a people is from within and not without.
that said...
Now 50 years after you quickly remembered Biafra after GEJ lost power. Led by whom? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS6HitcBPxQ?t=67 an albino with two passports ; one British and one Nigerian passport – whose wife and kids are in the uk enjoying life. have you bothered to ask yourself how many of the Ojukwu family died during the war. the answer is none.
And now that you have made your point clear that you are no longer interested in Nigeria, we heard you clearly and told you that you should leave by October only for you to turn back and say you are not going except we negotiate with you. Negotiate? on what basis should we negotiate? we say leave Nigeria and go to your Biafra you say we should negotiate. We are not negotiating go and develop you Biafra!
And please stop referring to yourself as a Nigerian, you are not a Nigerian, you are not one of us, you are a Biafran so please go to Biafra by October one.
Ngokafor: ....Lol! ... SW folks no go kee pesin with their false-hood and desperation against Biafra...See bare-faced lies and twisting of facts by the op.
..abeg make i go chop better lunch biko
Have you seen this debate on the street of niger delta?
1) Formally discuss modalities and obligations for peaceful exit of Biafra
Nigeria do not have to do shit, go and meet your governors and polical leaders to organize referendum/modalities to exit Nigeria that is not our obligation ditto Brexit was organized by Britain no EU
2) Legally recognize the soverignity of Biafra
The old biafra was recognized by Belgium, Gabon, Haiti, ivory Coast, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Isreal, France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa and Vatican city without recourse to the federal government. this country will welcome you with open arms. you don't need us to recognize you just leave us in peace.
3) Withdraw all Nigerian military and paramilitary personnel from Biafra
Did Ojukwu demanded for the withdrawal of Nigerian troops from Biafra before declaring Biafra? no. what about Biafran troops in Nigeria army uniforms still serving in various units? we will exchange our troops for yours simple.
4) Legally expel all Biafrans from Nigeria (if they feel thar's a smart nove)
you will be expelled by October one.
please don't try to take any inch of Nigeria otherwise we may be obliged to use appropriate force to push you back into biafra.
Briggs DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BIAFRA IN THAT VIDEO.
Demonic liars everywhere.
And the guy that ranted about not being a Biafran is merely expressing his personal opinion. There too many other Niger Deltans who think otherwise, and believe strongly that they are Biafrans. Asari Dokubo is one.
You can have biafra no problem just leave every inch of Nigeria for us simple. we don't have to go to war about this. And please don't forget to take all your senators and house of assembly members with u to Biafra. Just leave Nigeria already. Don't forget October 1st is your deadline.
