Stop commenting like you are not in Nigeria. You won't need to attempt snatching their guns before they start harassing and oppressing you. Nigeria military men are primitive

You simply don't get my drift set within the context of the times.

Chinachriss:
APC is just wasting their time in Abia. After unleashing python dance on them you are coming to familiarise with them.

Ala piapukwa unu isi.

Make your choice at the polls to reject them. Form a political party to push self determination or make it a campaign issue. That's the way we roll!

Afam4eva:
Buhari step foot in the south east? Since he became president, he has clearly avoided stepping foot in the SE and SS and i don't think he will do so till he leaves office. Except he proves me wrong.

You should celebrate his maturity for staying away from the SS/SE till date. Were he to visit someone might attempt to snatch a soldier's rifle and reap the whirlwind in the process! It is actually one of the most unwise and dangerous thing a citizen could think of doing! MKO Abiola only had a shouting match with an air force rating who slapped him forever unidentifiable.

Not much to study there sir. It's not rocket science.
They are able to organize a referendum because their constitution gives them that right.

It's not so much about the hate speech sir. No reasonable person will condone such utterances.

But even if hate speech was not involved where is it provided in the constitution that a section of this nation is entitled to self determination and that this right will be subject to the outcome of a referendum vote??

My point is that even though Bagdad does not want the Kurds to leave, they allowed the referendum nonetheless because there is a provision for that in their constitution. And the Kurds spoke through their votes loud and clear.

A constitution that doesnt recognize the right to self determination is a repressive constitution. And this is evidenced in the deliberate exclusion of a the right to conduct a referendum.

You can't keep hiding under hate speech to declare every group seeking self determination as terrorists.

Supposing the yorubas take up a similar struggle albeit peacefully, will Nigeria allow them go through a referendum?? [/b]

Though not provided for in cfrn99 the right to self determination cannot be denied any people group in Nigeria who desire same since Nigeria is a signatory to the UN Charter that provides for it. However it must be pursued in a manner civil to the extent it would attract int. sympathy where Nigeria says no. Ndigbo politicians must be involved for the push to be credible. Nnamdi Kanu is the face of Biafra and unfortunately he is a tough sale! I wonder if you have viewed his vitriolic videos on YouTube which reminds one of Adolf Hitler and the disaster he brought on our world! Germans didn't spend their lifetime licking the wound of defeat but simply went to work at building a nation strong post WWII. Today Germany stands shoulder to shoulder with the top nations of the world. Ndigbo has a thing or two to learn from the Germans and the Third Reich!

RomeSankara:
I am suprised the soldiers didn't come down and kill everyone in thier usual primitive ways

No one was there attempting to snatch a soldier's rifle or throwing stones at them. A man intends the natural consequences of his actions.

Splashme:
Hmmmmmm........
BUHARI has destroyed Nigeria

Something tells me IPOB would have made a better showing to the point of getting a referendum were they this active when Goodluck Jonathan was President. Hopefully when Ndigbo clinche The President the matter will get done.

Iamzik:
The Kurdish referendum was held today.

Kurdish people want to form a new country called Kurdistan. I'm yet to hear about any military occupation or operation from the Iraqi army.

Staying together is not by force

Please study how the Kurds set about exercising their right to self determination! See how much of hate-speech, race superiority items and appropriation of territorial boundaries of other ethnic nationalities are in it. #spreadpeacenothatred

Boko Haram would not have become that much of a headache � but for the ineptitude of Goodluck Jonathan whose gross lack of ability to sufficiently interprete intel and think as well as act independently gave room for BH to dig in to the extent it built an army that demystified The NA.
Buhari, thankfully handled IPOB with military despatch and restored the pride and punch of The NA to the point that a whisper of its presence made IPOB pause!

DaudaAbu:
Go and pay your workers

Playing ping pong wont put food on their table

Your take is of no moment to the typical Ekiti citizen whose idea of good governance admits of playing to the gallery! #theyknownobetter

His hold on the people is slipping and its time to crank up His gimmicks! Trust Ekiti citizens to lap it all up!

A clear speak to folks opposing restructuring that True Federalism and State Police is an idea whose time has come Imagine how effective a Lagos State Police Outfit would be were State Police obtainable! #weakcentrestrongfederatingunits

Was she aware she's probably gonna see something else in the phone and had to record the opening? Why record the opening of a phone when all you're expecting to meet in the package is the phone itself

#premeditated

Atiku goes for broke! Clear evidence he desperately wants to be President. #atallcosts

About time. I was expecting to see the architectural model of the project.

This thought has been on my mind for several years now having listened to the testimonies, biographies and read articles by and about these three great ministers of God whose ministries began in Nigeria but and are touching lives around the world. What happened in 1981?

Perhaps a special wind from God blew across Nigeria in 1981, resulting in the move of the Spirit that is currently shaking several nations with millions of faithful spread across the world.

According to Wikipedia, Enoch Adejare Adeboye (born 2 March 1942 in Ifewara, Osun State, Nigeria) is a Nigerian pastor. He was ordained General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 1981, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year. Since his taking over leadership, the growth and spread of the RCCG around the world has been simply phenomenal. All it takes for a rccg church to grow is to have a venue and signage and people will troop in. That's simply called GRACE.


I heard the Man of God Rev Dr Chris Oyakhilome, President of Believers Loveworld (aka Christ Embassy) speak of how that in 1981, the Lord spoke to him saying, "Take my divine presence to the peoples and nations of the World. This vision he has diligently pursued since then. Those who have been close to him will tell you that he carries that presence. It's in all he does...everything he touches grows to become number1. There is no place like the Healing School of Christ Embassy in this world. Rhapsody of Realities has grown to be the number1 most translated book in the world after the bible with over 862 languages; distributed in every nation and territory of the World. By end of 2017, they'd have distributed over 1Billion copies since inception.

I told someone that if the antichrist doesn't know Pastor Chris and Christ Embassy yet, he is still a learner.

Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church (winners chapel) is unapologetic in his praise and adoration of the Lord who called and prospered him and sent him to prosper others. With massive intimidating church structures, Universities, etc, he continuously provokes the world to envy as he displays what Faith in a living God can do in one's life.

He too received a mandate from God through an 18-hour vision in May 1981, to liberate the world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith.


Now I ask again, what happened in 1981?

Recently, I was in a Pastor Chris and Benny Hinn meeting where Pastor Chris talked about a conference he attended in 1980 with Pa S.G. Elton a great minister of God and a Briton in Benin. Could that be it? The man S.G. Elton was said to have prophesied in that meeting concerning this move of God from Nigeria to the world and gave marching orders to the young people who came from around the country.

Could that be it? I also read that Pa Elton influenced the ministries of Pastor Oyedepo and Pastor Adeboye greatly.

So let me know what you think

Christians only please. Atheists, Muslims, busybodies; please your opinions are not welcome. Thanks!

Definitely it! Pa S.G. Elton was a tool in the hands of God to men for God. He was domiciled at Ilesa from where affected nations for Christ. #shinethelightwhereyouat

zendy:
If Gambia, a small country of 1.8 million people (probably the population of the city of Enugu) can be viable, how can Biafra then not be viable?

How can Gambia be more viable than Biafra?

This is not about population.

It's all over for Whatsapp when that happens.

Where were you all the while. Thank God firstline Ndigbo are now speaking out on IPOB.

The French Ambassador should be interfacing with The Foreign Minister and not Internal Affairs Minister. The SGF and Chief of Staff to The President should see to that to prevent a reoccurrence.

lomprico:
So who is the hausa man?

One whose native language, culture and tradition is Hausa.

seguno2:
Many said that when HiTV came out.
Where is HiTV today?
Anyone buying this TST should open his eyes very well oh. I don talk my own.

HITV pulled it off quite well but lost it to mismanagement.

Ngokafor:
..Simple.

Scour the thread and the historical perspective you'll gain should put you in a better stead -one hopes- to see it is not that "Simple".

limeta:
Wayo op
So we could also say edo.esan.isoko .lagosian. osu .oshogbo and many many more ve not ruled nigeria

Sister, this thing no be wayo! It is deeper than you portray it. Go through the thread and you should see that.

Mrreed:
you have a point but north has always portayed to us that they are one. so whether you are a gwari.nupe, kaje etc, you are the same from the perspective of a southerner.

That perspective is in dire need of correction for the good of all. Nigeria should not be about The North and The South which is why Federalism best suits us. When the centre is weak and the Federating Units The Strong no one will any longer play The North v The South Card cause it just won't sell!

OmoManU:
At how many percentiles of national output?

Your question finds relevance and is best answered set in the context of Biafra as a Sovereign country.

Homeboiy:
What is marginalise?

For the UNESCO, “marginalization occurs when people are systematically excluded from meaningful participation in economic, social, political, cultural and other forms of human activity in their communities and thus are denied the opportunity to fulfil themselves as human beings.”

stev120:
if you claim that you are also marginalised. ..
then why don't you support the igbo call for restructuring. ...your diniel of restructure prove you enjoy this fraudulent structure of the government. ..

It should interest you to know as well as note that the OP is neither Muslim nor Hausa. Please let's keep this debate objective, civil and Deep so we can all get the best benefit it portends for the larger good of our society. We can't all emigrate to the developed world for ever. One way out is to discuss these matters we love to keep under wraps in the open. #letsmakenigeriaapride#

SuperStriker:
The hausas have willingly handed over their destiny and future to the Fulani so that is their plate of shiit.

They gave completely lost their identity to the Fulani. All the emirs on Hausa soil are Fulani and they see nothing wrong so let them be.

If the Hausa's have chosen to be eternal slaves to the fulani it does not mean that Igbo's must also accept eternal slavery.

The lot of the Hausa is directly traceable to the influence of Islam when it swept through Hausaland. Truth is, Islam takes no prisoners. It only feigns acceptance via taqqiya. It knows no middle ground. It is an "either or" proposition. A Muslim -no matter the ethnic origin- is not truly fulfilled, by the dictates of the Quoran, until he is governed IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE i.e. Political (Emirate),Economic (interest free loans et al), Law (Sharia). That is an issue Nigeria must deal with someday that'll hopefully not become our doomsday! We are presently living in denial! Little wonder, Chief Lateef Adegbite, a former SecGen of NSCIA, a prominent and distinguished Egba and in his lifetime one effusively Learned in Law fought tooth and nail to ensure Boko Haram was not declared a terrorist organization inspite of the obvious! Khan The Mayor of Jands today (indeed every Muslim in a secular setting of every sort) is only bidding his time. In his heart of hearts he would rather The British Monarchy and Parliamentary system of government is replaced with a Caliphate and Jands renamed Londonistan! This understood should explain the lot of the Hausa since it was the Fulani who brought Islam their way.

BankeSmalls:
Killer punch

[quote author=lomprico post=60744434]This morning I asked some Hausa friend of mine - who is Hausa? His response should explain why Hausa is this widely spoken and associated with the language shagari, buhari, yaardua, abdulsalami, ibb spoke. I was shocked to know Murtala Mohammed is actually Auchi from Edo State. Here is the answer from my Hausa friend-
"Morning sir, Hausa man is an original inhabitants of Kano, Jigawa, katsina, sokoto, part of kebbi,Zamfara, and Kaduna States. They are also a minority in others States of the North.
Hausa tribe has received and accept other ethnics and nationality. Those Nationalities were accepted and assimilated into Hausa land hausas. But they have their distinct identity and languages. Most of these Nationals speak Hausa as lingua franca, but they have their own languages which an Hausa man does not speaks or understand unless he learns it."
We have Obasanjo who stopped the teaching of History as a subject in our schools to blame for the ignorance of our common identities and heritage that pervades the land. I still don't understand why he did that.

if it is about political presidency

efik is marginalised

urhobo is marginalised

ilaje is marginalised

nembe is marginalised

ogoni is marginalised

jukun-chamba is marginalised

idoma is marginalised

kutep is marginalized

kanuri is marginalised

Very good comment Sir! Exactly we should stop viewing access to The Presidency as indicative of marginalization. It suggests Federalism as the best form of democratic arrangement for our clime. #weakcentrestrongcomponents#
