NDPVF:
Now you have decided to talk like a well breed fellow,i will talk to you mannerly.
First,I am not against you loving,dating or even marrying Ijaw girl.In marriage,Love and chioce,neutralizes ethno-political power.
My first ever date,is a Kenyan,but thats by the way.So if truly you love her(Not use and dump),go for her.
"But you MUST be a christain.I dont want Islam in this part of the world.-my personal opinion."

Second,am a man that hates lies,propaganda,injustice,and ineaquality.
So,if you are a type that does that,or supports it,we are NOT friends!.
If you critically look at Nigeria,you will surely know that everything is wrong with it.
Take my community for instance.No zinc stays upto six months here before it starts rusting.why?.Acid rain from Oil & Gas exploitation.We have low expectancy period of about 50yrs or thereabout,here.why?.Gaseous inhalation.we dont have clean water to drink,we dont farm,our acquatic life is a mess,etc.why?.Damaged ecosystem arising from oil & gas related activities.But same same community has unemployed youths,poor road network,no federal presence,but same money generated here,is being used to build a helipad in Daura,make Abuja,a former desert,a 21st century city.same made lagos what it is today,but Oba of Lagos will threaten other Nigerians with Lagoon.same money has built over 3ports in lagos,but their is non here,and many more.
Look at SE for instance.
Why should they have 5 states,why NW has 7?.why should kano have 44L.G.As,why Rivers,Lagos,etc,has far less?.why is their delibrate attempt to suffocate Igbos,and deny them federal presence since after the war?.
Why are North/southwest brazenly telling Igbos "Igbos will never rule this country?."
Why was Gej unfairly hounded and bullied out of office?.
Their are so many "whys".
If we are ONE,why havent these injustice corrected?.why?,why? Wh?.
Therefore,when i say we are not ONE,and insists that everybody should answer his fathers name,am not doing it out of hate!.

pazienza:
The factors that forced Awolowo to team up with the North have not changed. These are the factors:

1. Yorubas can't allow Ndiigbo leave Nigeria, knowing they will now be stuck with the Arewa in a master-slave relationship for eternity. The presence of Ndiigbo in the Nigerian dynamics affords the SW a degree of freedom from the Arewas, as the Arewa will always have to thread carefully with them, if they must divide and rule the country.

2. Yorubaland is too close to the North for comfort, the Yorubas can't afford to team up with Ndiigbo against the North, as that scenario will turn SW to a battle ground between Ndiigbo and the North, with heavy loss of lives and property on the Yorubas, while the East and North remain peaceful. Yorubas would be stupid to allow such a deal, Awo didn't allow it, Tinubu won't.

3. Yorubas can't be neutral in any Biafran-North war, the North is landlocked, and will ever need the SW ports to import weapons and other logistics during the war, if the Yorubas grant them that wish, then they would have become Biafran enemies by default, if they don't, the second point(2) will happen. The ever pragmatic Yorubas would rather join the North to take the war to the East, than join the East and turn the SW to war theatre between the East and North.

4. Yorubas have a significant number of muslims amongst them that will always be sympathetic to the Islamic North cause.

5. A significant chunk of Yorubaland is part of and parcel of the North, Yorubas have a stake in the North, and will always be dragged into the Northern mess by the Northern Yorubas.

6. Yorubas are much more interested in the ND crude oil wealth that will ultimately vanish with the secession of Ndiigbo which will trigger a cascade of events that will see the Eastern region non Igbo groups and the non Igbo Midwest groups either form independent countries of their own or join Biafra. Igbo secession is not economically beneficial to Yorubas.

VICTIM, VICTIM, VICTIM ALL THE TIME!

when will you people ever grow?

IMMATURITY: They're the reasons why I am (we're) not succeeding
MATURITY: I (WE) am where I am because of the decisions I made Yesterday

Pls Grow up you lots, nobody is after You, Before you exist with us, we've been, we're organized and we make our progress, If you want your Biafra, Go and have it. If you don't have developed cities like Lagos, BUILD IT, Abi na Yoruba or Hausa man they collect your Monthly Government allocations, Or when AWOLOWO was bulding the west in the past, he added your own money, don't you have leaders then? It;s funny how you insinuated that others are the reasons why your place is not developed enough -YOU PRACTICALLY BLAME PEOPLE FOR EVERYTHING, SHUSH!

And this Idea that you develop places that you go to, In fact, it will be a blessing for both of us, maybe you'll finally have your own mega city like Lagos and of course we would have far less populated cities, more organization, more control on crime and less pressure on our lands, more Order, and less infighting, complain and bickering, - fresh air.

But I need to warn you, Your problem is not BIAFRA, your problem is your ATTITUDES, if you don't fix it, you guys will still not be a united BIAFRA, In fact You should not even count on Niger-delta because they won't follow you. In Nigeria, the truth that everybody fills marginalized for one thing or the other here, but you can have what you want by agitating for it in a CIVILIZED way and cooperating with other regions to achieve your aspirations , - but that seems foreign to you I guess, since you're BETTER than every tribe and they are AFTER your downfall, that's probably how BIAFRA will be too - The Bulk still stop at your table.

Go and sit somewhere with your mouth like that of an Akara eater!

You are scared to death but won't admit it, empty barrel!

You ibos are destined to perish in Lagos/SW and that's what you will get!

lygn19:
I always prayed for dz moment, a time where an igbo man for him to go to another man's land in Nigeria wud send shivers down his spines, I always prayed for a day when even if dat igbo man goes to that land for anything to buy even a plot if land or bring his family der wud shock him... sorry my brethrens but very soon I wud open accounts on Nairaland with Yoruba names and start giving u guys bad names in der sight so they wud hv reasons to increase d hatred and polity to higher levels.

Krankenhaus:
When y'all start threading and piping low like others. I bet try the no man mantra elsewhere and y'all be put to slow death,the Lagos peeps are way too peaceful with y'all lost souls.

kettykin:
I understand your line of argument, but this is not like saying igbos will never leave borno. The boko haram issue which was initially targeting igbos ended up turning the whole north east to a huge refugee camp with very little in terms of economic growth and educational development.

when yorubas wake up from their stupidity they would have killed the economy of Lagos, as I am writing this Abuja is almost over taking lagos as Nigeria's aviation and telecommunications hub simply because a lot of businesses are finding Abuja easier to do their business than lagos.

Worst still the much anticipated deep sea port in Akwa ibom will be a very big game changer that would finally trigger a forceful exodus of igbo importers to the east where there will be no omonile and yearly registration fees for businesses.
By then igbos who divested before then selling their landed property at high market prices would be better than those struggling to sell when the bubble had burst like it happened to igbo business men trying to sell their houses during boko haram reign of terror.

juicee1:
pls give me n instance with source where the yorubas say they are jealous of the ibos.

kettykings:
Onyekachi ubani and co should realize what time it is.
It is time for igbos to divest and redeploy 90% of their investment to the east and Abuja even as you buy up the best places in Lagos
The floods are a sign of things to come, remember how Goodluck Jonathan was treated by these folks.

Asiwaju9ja:
I didn't bother reading ur epistle to Nairalanders to the end. because I know what you are attempting at saying. The real myopic person here is you. You just picked that sentence and omitted the part which he extolled and praised GEJ for averting what could have been.

Take this scenerio for an instance. If GEJ had lost as it was obvious that he was going to lose and he GEJ decided to sit tight and even cancel d results for gross irregularities, what would have happened?

The likes of Asari-Dokubo was silenced by that singular act of GEJ.

Mind you no one has exclusive rights to violence and pple are by nature defensive when pushed to the wall.

You know already that there are pockets of self styled "freedom fighters" like the massob,mend and those in d north etc. These groups will inturn become factions in the Somalia like predictions.

PMB knows what he was talking about and please, look for constructive ways to criticise ur president afterall if GEJ who is younger could not deliver let an old man try plz. Let him try give him time let us see.

@OP, there nothing absolutely terrible there, this snake has just eaten what he perceived as food, and if u are the religious type, the food must have been provided by God. U think God doesn't have powers to make lions, leopards etc eat grass? But he didn't, he chose for them as food flesh, we got to deal with that, the snake just had a nice dinner..

barcanista:
Why is President Buhari not doing anything with respect to the actions of these terrorists that disguise themselves as herdsmen? How long will they continue to kill ethnic minorities in the North Central? The painful aspect is that soldiers don't seem to be helping matters. Left for me, I will say the locals should mobilise themselves and defend their land, their lives and their communities. Enough is enough

RIP to the victims
