NGpatriot: We are not helping anybody, we made a business investment to make Niger and the other landlocked countries in that region patronize our ports for lucrative shipments and to transport our own goods and services to those countries.
The trade volume between us and Niger is in the billions and this move is set to double or even triple that.
Nigerian youths, stop being shallow, broaden your horizon. I hope one day they don't leave Nigerian youths in charge because your lady and shallow mentally and backward thinking fit kill Nigeria for good
Abasman008: yeah...it's easier to build an army or make shift navy but an air Force must be an air Force..in case of war if I'm a commander and the Nigerian side attacked I'll set my air defence team to carry out an offensive defensive mission by bombing and rendering all airports, airfields and strips civillian and military inoperable. This includes even our area that is in enemy occupation... And for this all you need is an aircraft of some speed even if its not a jet, but must be an aircraft that can carry bombs.. because my strength not come from power but careful and pinpoint accurate attacks both physically , by carrying out well planned suprise Night raids and Phsycologically because hitting the enemy mentally teaches the enemy to beware of you and dropping a well armed border guard service will remind them of what we can do... So if it's war...have got my head ready too
Great... Just be more discreet with your chats. We in IPOB know that failure is NOT an option. Enough said already.
Abasman008: It's until it happens we learn... We Nigerians especially from the southern basin are the most silly and hypocritical of all people... I wonder how silly we are to the point that someone is openly plotting your downfall and push into slavery yet no body cares...
Let it be known, that once my project of building an aircraft is complete I will personally meet Tompolo and the rest.............. I'll try save my little corner than be swallowed whole..
Building an aircraft is good but having a whole army plus working with your nearby brothers is better. It's not a street fight but a war. A solid southern army will kill the morale of that Niger rail line. Join our ranks now.
Fools still don't know why the rail line is being built. What if I tell you that Sardauna of Sokoto Ahmadu Bello had the same plan? Go and read his reasons for saying it that time and you would have found the answer you seek.
Openbusiness: And you think Hausas will be sleeping? Hausas have the biggest population in the North and they are warriors too.
Hausas have lost it already. Their hope is the rest of Nigeria (middle belt and the south). Can you show me just one popular politician from the far north who has publicly acknowledge his ancestry as purely Hausa? Better prepare your mind and body for the worse. It is going to rain heavily in the evil contraption.
Abasman008: obviously... But hope you know that even even if they don't say it, that SS and SW are looking up to IPOB
We are still figuring out how to handle the willing tools(cannon fodders) of the terrorist fulanis. After we've sorted that out, it shall hell fire. The litmus test is the October 1 sit at home. What is there to celebrate about Nigeria? We are watching. All Hail Biafra.
What's the reason for the rail line from Niger? Only fools can't see why it is being built. Meanwhile the border remains closed at Seme. Foolish Southerner!
OP is a typical Nigerian who would rather justify the poor treatment meted on him than fighting against a poorly managed system. Since his rational for this thread is the local purchasing power of currencies, why doesn't he encourage the further devaluing of the naira so as to increase its local value? Most people in US feed better than most Nigerians. Live healthier than them too because of what the dollar can afford them.
Our case is s justified one... every Igbo and indeed Biafran should join hands with IPOB for the task ahead. Our freedom is a fundamental human right. Whatever you can do to aid our goal is welcomed. All Hail Biafra. Death to the evil contraption.
gypsey: Well.. tell that to the IGBOs who owns and holding on to their lands, shops, houses, mansions and lands outside IGBO lands and who told that they don't have freedom? did they tell you that they are not free? they are obviously free to own properties in Nigeria in the north and south west.
Biafra will never ever ever ever come! believe it or not.
Remember when many IGBOs were killed in the north years back? did it stop them going back to live in the norths? NO!!
If you think the northerners will leave all that Oil for you people you better think again.
Lol. They should brace up for all eventualities. Our land and whatever therein belong to us. Time shall tell.
Lol. If you are born in Nigeria and you grew up in her, aged and die within her without ever travelling out to a developed country, you don't deserve to go to hell. Nigeria is a dead contraption below the developmental level of a good number of even other African countries. No roads, pipeborne water, electricity or even security. No sane person will visit any of these developed countries and return to Nigeria to still support the type of politics happening therein. Anyone who does so is a thief. Do you know most car drivers in developed countries rarely use there car horns? The reason is traffic lights are top notch and most people on wheels follow the rules of driving. The result is very low noise pollution and sanity. Less aggression and mental stress. Not like in Nigeria with noise and insults all over. You need to visit any developed country for even a month before you die. After that, Nigeria will disgust you.
ThatFairGuy1: Imagine in a circular State. Is this different from extremism(terrorism)? Is this how you all we govern your own Biafra?
We said "go to school" but you said you "preferred makarantan allo". See the result now. Is Nigeria a "circular state"? If yes, what's her diameter so we can calculate her circumference? I can see that you are pseudo 'boko is haram'. If Nigeria is a secular state, what is she doing in OIC? Secondly, why does she have provisions for sharia in her 'gifted constitution'? We can see your problems clearly. You're so disturbed by your failure to make religious inroads into Igboland. Ndigbo are smart to see the danger it portends as exemplified in the damage it has done to the once peaceful Hausa people and would want nothing of it. Your poisoned chalice has lost its potency in AlaIgbo. Cry us a waterfall!
War is about to break out. That's probably why Israel is staring another lockdown today.
The rider on the red horse is about to ride! (Re. 6:4)
Lol. Nothing to be worried about. Israel has advanced preparation. They're on a second total lockdown and can handle it better. The US is also solidly behind them. The Bahrain and UAE peace deal is a step in the right direction. The end goal I believe is the long time proposed two-state deal.
ndubuogaranya: I created this moniker to hide my identity as I'm a popular member of this forum.
I just finished burying my father who died at over 90 years. There is this animal horn that he inherited from his father, (who also inherited it form his grand father) that he never used because he converted as a Christian and never took the ozo title nor any chieftaincy title as an Igbo man. According to him, this horn should be close to 200 years. The horn was taken from an animal we call Atu in Igbo which his grand father killed as a foremost hunter.
Please, who knows where or how I can make money from this ANTIQUE?
Lalastica help me to get wider reach
You may have to check online... I doubt you'll find any organization interested in it in Nigeria and even if you do, they may not offer you an appreciable amount. Meanwhile, try and clean it nicely to improve the appearance but don't use chemicals that can harm it. You can read up on how to clean such keratinous items on the internet.
Commonsense99: shitty dirty Fulani Almajiris have flooded Nairaland with different monikers that sounds igboid, in their feeble attempt to divide igbos, but their antics are dead on arrival. Go and get ready for the counter attacks that will come from Native Hausas, they are want their land as it were before your taqqiya invasion. you Fulanis are not Nigerians, you are from Guinea. stop constituting nuisance in a Nigerian forum.
We prefer to argue with fellow countrymen, not strangers like you F00lanis.
Lol. Very correct. The fools think they're making any progress not knowing that we're looking at them like the clowns that they are. Using fake Igbo sounding monikers to attack other Igbo clans so as to sow disaffection among Igbos is a funny strategy. We know our enemies very well and our energy is channeled towards them.
Once we heard the attacks at Uzo-Uwani, our blood boiled. Smoke was literarily emitting from my head. Such should never ever happen in any part of Biafra land. How can fulanis with less population than Igbos have the temerity to attack our land? Anyway, we've taken care of that one. Let every Igbo and people of Biafra in entirety key into IPOB as fast as possible and see us free from the present entanglement. Have any of you thought of how the Vietcong resisted the US for close to a decade? Wherever you are, know that you should play a role. The fight is not for IPOB alone. If you love freedom, you must be ready to pay for it. Forget Nigeria, she's dead already. Think of the future country, whether Biafra or something else. We in IPOB have committed our all for the freedom of our ancestral land and people. All Hail Biafra!
laiperi: Nigerians, since the 60s have been more successful inside Africa and outside heading International Agencies, WHO, World Court, doctors, lawyers, Soldiers and Police trainings in most African countries.
Nigerians have been appreciated and these countries were proud and thankful.
What changed? Big celebration over insubstantial positions, chests beating and provocations that have turned Africans and foreign countries OFF.
They are kicking us out of their Countries and noted we cannot be that good if our Country is a mess.
If you come from desolate villages and cities, what is your contribution outside?
No matter your achievement, they hate you and want you out. Stop beating your chest bloody dead. Can't you hear Nigerians Go Home!
Don't mind them. This is why we want Biafra so that all these human resource will help develop her. We've left Nigeria psychologically hence the huge drive abroad. God is with Ndigbo.
If you want peace prepare for war. It is certainly coming. When you run away from defending your ancestral land, you lose your right as an indigene of that land and hence become a perpetual refugee. Make your choice.
Don't give up easily... There's always a way if you look very well.
If the teeming unemployed youth should stage a protest and face the bastard khaki dogs that will be sent head on, I believe there will be a change. If you fear the bullets, you'll eventually succumb to hunger and depression. Make your choice. Fortune favours the bold. No coward ever becomes a hero. DON'T EVER DIE A COWARD
Lol. Are the consumers complaining of liver problems? Even if they are, is the FG responsible for treating them freely? Millions have protested about terrorist fulani militias yet the government refused to fight them but here where there's no complain they want to create problems. Shame on anyone who supports this.
Rugaria: Efforts must be made to ensure they aren't swallowed up by the bigger Yoruba group there who wants them just for their wealth and land. Since their prominent sons have come out repeatedly to distance themselves from the Yorubas, this should be respected... The oba of Lagos made his remarks openly and seriously. Smaller ethnic groups should be protected.
Of course you're right but you should wait until they call for 'your' help. Don't provide free service bro.
Rugaria: Are they going to walk away with the Aworis, Egun and co? The oba of Lagos himself has said it loud and clear that they are not Yorubas. So are these matchers going to walk away from Nigeria with only their Oshogbo or are they trying to attache Lagos by force their new MURIC country?
Well, it's not your concern who they go with as long as they don't include any of your clans. Let the other ethnic groups you assumed to be annexed ask for your help first.
For Chibuike Amaechi to publicly announce your fatherly role in his life is a testament to position you held in the family. May God grant the Amaechis the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. Amen Rest In Peace Dede. You played your role among your siblings as a true nwafor. Dike, jee nke oma!
Bonessaw: Nembe/Brass and Bonny are relatives. Bonny and Brass share a lot in common, even as far as having a convenant. In the past when Bonny was at war with her neigbours, Brass were the only group Bonny was at peace with. As a matter of fact Brass made Canoes for Bonny. Nembe/Brass is connected to Aboh, same way Bonny is connected to Ndokki. But on the case of Bonny/Ndoki it goes beyond paternship, it's blood related.
I'm aware of the connection between Brass and Aboh. The former was a tributary of the later. If there's more you know about the relationship please share with me.
