BaaleOko: If you have never traveled beyond your ramshackle in ogbomosho jungle to know whether or not Igbos sell land to other Nigerians in the East, then you should shut your ewedu guzzling mole of a brain and find out by traveling out more to get enlightened at the very least SMH...
You could plain answer the poser in the positive without being abusive.
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.” - Chinua Achebe.
And it’s getting worse by the day and election cycles! About time the Igbo consciously take steps to eyeball and deal with this from the basic unit- the families!
Who fail to obey the order of the Commander In Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces to shoot at sight anyone who is about the snatching of the ballot box!
MrAJQ: This will break heart of the children of hate, the people that hate good news, they hate the little the poor are getting from the government. They hate Tradermoni They hate school feeding program They hate Npower They hate farmers anchor borrowers They hate success achieved against Boko Haram They hate success achieved in rice They hate success achieved against corruption They hate fight against ballot box snatchers They hate to hear farmers-herdsmen truce They hate one Nigeria
We the good people of Nigeria will show them hate on Saturday.
sunshine1974: U don't have to blame urself too much, I earned 200k/month for a year and just when I wanted to settle down and start doing something for myself I lost the job, Infact I sold my gold chain at presidential hotel for transport. Lessons to be learnt, start planning ur life from ur first salary because anything can happen, I ve learnt my lessons now, im a better man now.
All of you insulting them cos of their stature and the sticks they're carrying should stop for a moment to think. If they could hold off the Nigerian Army who had foreign help for more than two years with just sticks and a few Awka made Guns, just imagine what they could have done with real ammunition. I rep Biafra- Land Of The Rising Sun
The point remains that it is now proven it made no sense! Discretion is the better part of valour!! USA withdrawal from Vietnam is instructive here.
Better to take him up on the issues. Seriously, what sort of Leader abandons his people in the manner Azikiwe(Caribbean cruise for his medicals), Ojukwu (off to Ivory Coast “in search of peace”), Akintola (was going to flee to Niger Republic but for Saurdana who insisted on staying put) and Nnamdi Kanu ( who fled to nowhere until his recent appearance in Israel) did!
No matter! It’s always been on the cards! Nigerian politicians have always been known to play Russian Roulette with our politics! They have consistently bungled our democracy only to blame the military! It shouldn’t be rocket science to predict them! You may wish to consider The Bible as the best prophecy we need!! Matthew 7:15-16 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?“
