Onlytruth: I think that any war involving the whole of SS will certainly draw the Igbo in whether we want to join or not. The only way it can happen without Igbo involvement is if it is kept in Bayelsa state. If it crosses into Delta or Rivers, there is a 95% chance that Igbo will join. These are some of the open/secret truths in Nigeria. I think that even Northerners know this that is why they hesitate.

I laugh at those who think otherwise.

uceee: My brother cool down and listen: "An Igbo adage says that when a madman is dancing by the roadside, he must have a drummer or drummers playing for him in the bush".

Chyz*:



You are a very funny dude. Trying to woe the people of the SS into a Oduduwa zrepublic by creating false fears amongst the people against the Igbo. I laugh. Do you think the people of the SS are going to fall for that lie again? I think not. You're Igbo dominiation jargon aint going to work this time. Urhobo, Isoko, Edo are aware that your people are not and never was in it for their good. You mention Edo but google and find out what the Edo people said about the Yoruba publically which also led to the creation of the Midwestern Region. Lets not start with the Urhobo after what you-know-who did to them concerning Warri back in the 60s. The name Oduduwa Reublic even lets others no right off of the back that they are not welcomed. funny people.

One_Naira:

LMFAOO. Ain't he though? He is comical. According to his statement, You and I and others on NL aren't Igbo anymore since we are from SS. Ain't that funny? It is the same dude that continue to preach he's not a bigot despite writing in bigotry terms.

One_Naira: If you are going to attack a group, why not attack the group the said person you are arguing with comes from SMH. People should leave Igbos out of these whole argument in this thread. Keep our name and community out.

kingoflag:

Lmao

You clowns are funny.

Why is it that whenever a person states their opinion, you take umbrage and regard it as denigration against your whole race? It only smacks of insecurity and low self esteem. So, anything short of false praises means a person hates you? Do you guys love to hear the truth at all?

I did not personally attack anyone group, I stated what anyone with half a brain knows will most likely happen in the event a war breaks out in Nigeria. Now, if you want to take it personal just because my analysis is that there will be a power tussle further down the line between the Igbos and the Ijaws were war to break out today, doesn't it lend credence to my earlier statement that most of you are myopic, doesn't it?


I stated my opinion, counter it is all. No need to call names and take it personal. I'm "trying to create fear amongst people against the Igbo"?! LMAAOOOO Do you realize how ridiculous y'all sound? Do you know how primitive you come across? You really believe I'm that powerful, that what I wrote - a neutral opinion--- will suddenly turn everyone against the Igbos?! Why are you guys so childish? What then should the Hausas whom I said with eventually capitulate to the might and schemes of the Middle-Belters do? Hmmmn.... maybe they should cry "Blue Murder" also?

Most of you are either Semi-Illiterate, Children or drunken, unthinking, emotional adults that hate to see reality or just can't see it. Take your head out of the sand, Ostriches. Don't nit-pick my points, deal with it as the whole it came in.

And, magician, how do you know I'm not Edo? How did you figure I was Yoruba? Forget the Bogey Man, buddy, nobody is out to get you. At least I'm not. Ive had clearance to work in places even your President won't be cleared to piss in the toilet, so trust me when I say I know what I'm talking about. But I digress, most of you are nitwits anyways, so its a waste of time even trying to reason with you.

One_Naira:

Well preacher, thank you for the sermon. My answer would be another Igbo saying "Nkita la cha gi onu eba"

kingoflag:

Thank You!

Let them keep deceiving themselves thinking that Western Powers will just rush in to "save" them from annihilation. These punks have never seen war thats why they chant it on the internet. Plus, they chant it because they know they will be one of the first people to flee towards the border while leaving the poor people who have been suffering all this while on $2/day to suffer the brunt of their dumb actions. War indeed! The same Nigerians that can't force the Government to give them the basic necessities of life that they deserve, are the same ones that will pick up a gun to fight in a war the Ijaws seem to be calling on themselves? They will be left alone and 30 years from now they will be so bitter, they will start calling the Igbos traitors, just like the Igbos today call the Yoruba traitors. Nigeria is a book that is very easy to understand if only you decide to be calm and read it line by line. I bet anything that were a war to start today, the rest of the country will sit on the fence or gang-up against the Ijaws--- they have the resources why let them go?


BEAF:

South South will fight for u? LMAO E be like say you don dey crase! The same "South-South" that GEJ has done superbly well in alienating?! I ask you which South-South? The Edos? Uhrobos? Itsekiris? Ilajes? Tell me now, abeg name one! And if its the Igbos you're expecting to come to your rescue, you're in for a looooong thing..... They will remind you of 1966, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and Isaac Boro. Thankfully, the divisive, corrupt, old goat,Edvin Clark, is still alive; they will remind you of him too. If you wish for a war then I wish it for you too, but theres no doubt in my mind that your land will be turned into a bloody battle ground and it won't be from those you expect. The North will be messed up and they won't be able to sustain a prolonged fight because of i.e distance, and the fact that the other Major groups are tired of their antics. Infighting and the fact that the Middle-Belters have a score to settle with them will also do them in. In that very plausible scenario, longterm, the Northerners will be kept at bay. The Northerners are the least of your problem.

Parts of Delta, Edo and others that share historic affiliation with the Yoruba Empire will join their ancestral kin, not just because of their historical relationship, but also because---in a Africa thats Militarily underdeveloped--- in battles, theres powers in numbers. They have not shown that they are intruders, and unless the Big 3 decide to gang-up and capitulate you, I seriously doubt that they'll go it alone trying to invade you in unfamiliar territory. Statistics show that they rarely venture that far East even in "Peace time", why would they now seek to "visit" in war time?

Now, that leaves you with you with the final member of the Big 3: THE IGBOS! After being massacred from North to West and being forced to return home by the millions, tell me: You really think you'll tell them that: "THIS BELONGS TO US AND THAT BELONGS TO YOU GUYS. THIS SMALL PIECE OF LAND (THAT MAKES UP PRESENT DAY SOUTH-EASTERN NIGERIA) IS YOURS. OH, AND LEST WE FORGET YOU CANT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SEA WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION AND YOURE LANDLOCKED" ?!!? LMAO At that point you will REALLY understand the meaning of "Power in numbers". They will give you historical lessons of how 10,000 years ago some guy named Chukwudi something or the other was the original settler on the land which you presently occupy, that you are settlers, and they need you to vacate "their" lands. What will you do? 1 million of you will fight the Igbo nation worldwide?! You won't last 72hrs. Call me whatever names, we already see Dede1 and co getting in constant land claims all over the internet all day, every day. If you can't see that Nigeria has already started choosing sides In the event of a battle, then you're actually dumber than I thought. The war has already started, if you don't know, we only pray it doesn't escalate.

People like you are fo*ols and just cannot see long term. This has always been the problem of the African; unbelievable myopism. He can never see past his big, round, fat, flat nose! Instead of tasking your corrupt government to do right, you join them against the people by playing Ethno-Religious cards. You think your home won't be consumed by the inferno that'll burn swiftly once the first cannon goes off, you must be supremely stu*pid. The casualties that'll rock that Region, especially when External forces start their "behind the scenes" action, to God, you will wish for 10zillion Shell Oil spills in its place.

Keep thinking war is a joke. Keep fanning the embers of distrust and discord instead of being truthful and upright, those flames burn and they burn viciously, buddy.

You have the resources and you have a bigger more powerful, more ambitious neighbor, you're fu*cked if shiyyt hits the fan today. Your best bet? Fight for true Federalism, Regionalism or a peaceful separation. But if you think fanning hatred, just to help the corrupt class hold on to power is your best bet, then I say "Go for it". But theres no doubt in my mind that if the Battle Royale starts this second even your leaders presently in Charge of Nigeria will become Refugees in another man's land--- if they haven't been butchered on Camera by their Northern Bodyguards.

Keep calling for war. Like I said, I wish you what you wish yourself. Go ahead, start calling me names (as you usually do). Make up false allegations. Its cool. One thing you can't call me though is "myopic" or "shortsighted".

I speak the truth. May the man with the biggest guns win.

One_Naira: LMFAOO. Some Nairalanders try so hard to sound smart but naturally end up sounding ignorant. [b]I'm finding this whole ordeal funny, one is talking about urhobo, and other SS group inability to join Ijaw fight the war asari preaches but yet he's talking to a Urhobo man. [/b]Wetin concern Ijaw for here? If you are going to attack a group, why not attack the group the said person you are arguing with comes from SMH. People should leave Igbos out of these whole argument in this thread. Keep our name and community out.

Beaf:


Maybe you should find out why Edo state is always at South South meetings and why Oshiomhole is openly and totally pro-GEJ. Blood is thicker than water.

.

wirinet: Asari is a joker and a noise maker. Does he know what war is? Or he thinks war is the ethnic conflict he led in their fight against the Itsekiris,who were unarmed and unprepared killing defenseless women and children. Does he seriously think a minor ethnic group like the ijaws can take on the nigerian military?

He should stop taking as if the nigerdelta starts and stops with the ijaws.

If the Nigerian military should deploy its might and fury on ijawland, it is the same dokubo that will be playing the victim card and be screaming genocide, like gbaramatu kingdom.

One single ethnic group cannot fight nigeria and hope to win, it has to be cooperation of many ethnic groups with the same goals.

kingoflag:

Thats the problem with dealing with Africans, especially Nigerians, you're so dense you see everything only in Religion and Ethnicity; what a shame. Attack a group? Did my analysis attack any Group? Or did I state one of 2 or 3 scenarios that WOULD happen were Nigeria to be plunged into war today?

My man, grow up, stop sounding illiterate and stop taking neutral opinions personal. I bet if I'd said "Igbos will win it all" you'd have automatically assumed that I was probably from Umuahia and that my name was probably Nnamdi or Kelechi.

LMAO

You guys are so sorry its not even funny. The fact that there are millions more with your mentality roaming that country doesn't bode well for its future at all. Open up your mind. Theres no Ghosts out to get you.

Wow. SMH.

jchime: please when is the war starting,cant wait of AK47 and taking the life of this religious fanatics called hausa

Beaf:

Comedy!

Since, even a dunce like you can recognise that the core-North has neutralised itself, who is left?
The SE are our allies, so is the Middle Belt.
Who is left? Who would want to be the one to face the hurricane? Bruv, you surely are a suicidal muppet both politically and strategically. We only snigger and wait, afterall, we own the wallet.

Parts of Edo and Delta will go with who? You must be the Worlds biggest fool indeed!
We already ran away from the Western Region once because of exploitation and prejudice (even Itsekiri's were called kobo-kobo and fleeced). Here are the results of the 1963 referendum to leave the Western Region. What a phucking plank you are, even by your own words, you have nothing to offer us, but numbers! Do your numbers feed and pay you?

Figures don't lie, bro; 99% voted to get out of the Western region. So, who do you think wants to go back? Lol! Maybe you will begin to understand why Ilaje people too joined MEND. All you do is think and preach domination like a leather-headed baboon.

Enjoy! 99 bloody percent!

EzeUche: Who will fight this war? It wont be Igbos. Nor will it be my Ibibio/Efik/Annang brethren.
This will be an Ijaw affair.

Demdem: A failure must be removed no matter what. Asari himself knows the Retardeen has failed the people at least till date. On this basis i stand.

kingoflag:

Lol

Keep preaching division. Ignore the pertinent parts of my analysis and attack the person instead. Guess what? Your internet tantrums cannot punch me in the face, nor can it help you win the war when it eventually occurs.

Check it out, dumbo, to show you how ignorant you are, you fail to notice that not only did I tell you what might happen at the beginning, I gave you plausible/Possible scenarios of what might happen in the future. I told you in simple terms: EITHER THE WHOLE COUNTRY WILL GANG UP AGAINST YOU, OR YOU WILL HAVE TO EVENTUALLY FIGHT YOUR NEIGHBORS FOR THE USE OF SCARCE LAND AND RESOURCES.

But in the head of the dummy, he thinks my post is a war recruiting exercise.... look at him trying to " win" people over to his side like if anything we post here will determine the eventual outcome of a future battle.

LMAO You guys are so slow its not even funny any more. Yes, you are being paid to defend the Govt. But aren't they paying you to be smart? What kinda Govt. pays a propagandist to sound dumb?

I sincerely pray a war doesn't break out, because its obvious that most of you will be too stu*pid to realize when to put down your arms and will continue fighting even for a hundred years just to score brownie points, thereby destabilizing the whole world. If you think a war in Nigeria will not draw the West and the Islamic world to settle their differences in your country then you're obviously just a rabble rousing young man that doesn't even know what he's talking about. If I was you, every night I go to bed, one of my prayers would be that war doesn't break out in the entity called Nigeria. But then again how can that be included in your prayers, after all , Man must wack abi?

Keep trying to dump innocent people in a well they will eventually drown you in. The time is coming, be patient. You'll see.

kingoflag:

Oh yeah? Maybe you should heed this one instead: Ji oso agbakwuru ogu amaghi na ogu bu onwu.

I'm pretty sure most of you on here are kids. What a shame.

Beaf:


We are tired of being exploited by lazy awuf luv'n phucks like you, bro. And we are prepared for war, are you?

One_Naira:

Dude pick a side and stick to it. Are u for or against asari's words. The preacher is FOR. Stop contradicting yourself. Is it because you saw my name, you felt the need to jump in. No be by force to join in every disagreement especially if u no sabi if you no sabi what the disagreement is all about. Haba no be by force to join in.

remark D: Hmmm so you're back? you were noticeable missing when/after Dr. Ngozi presented a lecture to the house. For someone like you that called her a liar (purely after hearing one side of the story and the mis-interpretation of things) I thought you be courteous enough to apologize, or at the very least, withdraw your statement and notion that she was a liar. /dDid you do that? Or feel you owe her no apology?

Yes i am back. That should suggest to u that my life doesnt depend on Nairaland. I called Ngozi a liar based on the facts that she lied all through out the subsidy debacle on several live TV shows and recent developments has simply shown that she indeed lied. My position on the budget issue was for her to come back and tell us (through the senate committte that she refused to earlier show up) the true status of %age implementation since there were two versions out there. This has nothing to do with Ngozi previous lies. My statements remains and i have no apology to give because madam Ngozi lied to us about subsidy. she has explained the position of the budget and is abysmally poor IMO.


[s]You know life could be a femal dog, in that someone can call you all sorts of names after hearing and mis-interpreting a story about you in a situation wher eyou've been doing your very best to help save a dieing situation/person.[/s]

Immaterial to subject matter. Zero sense.

You and others that hate for the sake of hating, grow out of it, and remember we're all in this together. Obodo maa mma, o maara mu na gi, obodo joo kwanu njo, o joro mu na gi. Ask your Igbo friends for intertankowa.

My basis are on facts and i have no reason to hate anyone. i dont even know her and whether she is on that seat or not doesnt add a dime to my fortune so why should i hate her? Instead i believe u as an Igbo person strongly believe the Liar Ngozi simply cant be wrong, she is ur hero so goodluck to u but i make bold to tell u that she isnt the saint u think she is and she is prone to so many ills the killer party is noted for. so oga, shove back that ur igbo words to ur asss.

jp philips:


Dont mind Asari, how many ijaw men are in the army? he still has mouth to talk because Jonathan negotiated free money for him in the name of Amnesty and he thinks his master's bid is my problem.

anyways, if yaradua had strengthened "operation pulo shield" with the new Amphibious squad trained in isreal and SA with state of the art gadgets, we wont have a tout disturbing the peace of the media.
