Why are you people insulting this man. Igbos spoke the truth but you people for hypocritical reasons kept hiding under the carpet now you come on nairaland to rain abuses on him. GEJ denied having Igbo lineage cus of political influence yet Igbos never betrayed him not cus they couldn't or cus he did anything meaningful to them but cus blood they say is thicker than water.politics aside, an average Ijaw, ishekiri,cross River, Akwa Ibom or Bayelsa man wants the country to break away but are so afraid to speak up cus of the money their mouth is filled with. It's just so painful seeing Igbo investing in other people's land forgetting that a Hausa man or Yoruba man hardly invest outside their land. Though it the policies that made it so but this time I believe lot of things will surely change. Igbos please go home and invest stop stashing away your money in other people's land this is Nigeria and not Europe when it happens UN will not be there to save your investment for you

Fear fear fear. The fear of not knowing the outcome is the reason they choose to deny it even Rivers the few minutes to my village. The fear of not getting money from the top that why it's OK to deny your root and that why you will for ever remain slaves not until you speak out with one voice and stop playing politics with peoples future. Tomorrow same you will say government is taking your resources yet same you refuse to stand when it matters the most.

honeychild:


Stop it. There are no northern social media anything. You guys like to blame others for your failures.

When the Niger Deltans kept telling Biafrans they were not interested in you, you refused to acknowledge and kept calling them Afonja, until the outcry became too loud for you to ignore.

Now you want to claim that your pepole who cannot stay one hour without calling Afonja are actually northerners.
That's not how to reconcile. You acknowledge your errors that's what you do. Don't make excuses.

For whatever reasons best known to igbos, they decided to demonise the Yoruba and make them the scapegoats for all their frustration. Now they want a united south against the north which has always been their real enemies. It's a good idea. But go about it the right way.

Plz stop being foolish!

Cocoa was the major earner before oil also there was palm oil rubber and much more all from southern Nigeria. this man should have been arrested by now

I guess the wise and foolish igbo or ibo man and even south south can be mistaken for igbos therefore everyone should take this treat seriously, and make adequate plan to leave the north or properly prepare to defend himself unto death whenever and wherever the occasion arise (market office on the road and even in his room. be ready to take at least an attacker with you to haven and meet God to settle it there. Be brave! Because death comes but once and no one or group has a monopoly of violence, weapon knows so one.

Go through the history and see that most of the northerners and even the South-Westerners do not really know what they want.
because the igbos have gone and done further than any ethnic group or ethnic nationality in Nigeria to cement brotherhood, they build best houses and business whenever they found themselves (from buying ocean and sand filling to build grand home in Lagos to leveling of sand dome in kano) they bring about social development in the same strike too. if in doubt check out the old Orile iganum and the current one, same with Okota Ijesha, Maza-maza and Amuwo Odofin and Festac extension in Lagos, I don't want to mention Lekki axis we all know what the Ibos (Igbos developers if you like) did. then compare same with Mushin, Isale eko, Oko oba Agege to sango axis and even Ikorodu just read evening news and you can draw conclusion on the areas listed above with most backward uncivilized happening news

e.g man killed and eyes plugged for rituals, Area boys raid street or shops, woman raped at night, and man 50years defile 7 year old girl lured with Agege bread. all forms of odd unbelievable retrogressive news

and where do you read news like New 3 star hotel build by?(Okoro) Man gift his girlfriend a new car, grand opening of Uche Plazza etc?

Ndi-Igbo have always been regarded as second class citizens in deed, indirectly and directly! just like the Black Americans in the USA
it's Systematic maybe unofficial and unwritten but it has been an accepted and practiced code-red since the end of the Nigerian-Biafra Civil War of 1969. the hatred is palpable as soon as you say your names and it sound IBO their face countenance change to 6:30 o'clock(AM or PM) sleepy. they are in a hurry to dismiss you or frustrate you, but WHY? Igbos are bad yet they pay the highest house rental shop or house, they pay higher transportation to and fro to Ibo dominated areas, like Masha, Lawason etc. TEJUOSHO AND OYINBO markets are at lost to Lagos Government because the NDI-IGBO are unwilling to buy. go to markets at ALABA, TRADE FAIR, WARE HOUSE TINCAN APAPA, LADIPO MARKET.
compare with market dominated by Hausas and Yorubas like Mushin, Oyinbo, Alaba rago ojo, suru alaba ojo, Boundary ajegunle, Ijora Badia, Pen cinema Agege, Ikorodu, Ojota mile12, Itire Bariga, so unclean unkempt and disorganized, they cook and sleep in some of the markets

prove me wrong and list out Federal Government presence(built assets) in all the regions and compare same with the South-East region or states
in the same manner other Ethnic nationalities in Nigeria should also list there businesses and properties in the Igbo nation (the South-East Governors would have and should used this major neglect by Federal as their joint barging chips irrespective of their party affiliations) they should also form consortium and develop Roads and toll them for the development of their states(joint water broad, joint industrial layouts at their interstate bounders will make sense that each state going solo with huge project and fail to complete them. they can build interstate dual carriage ways to link themselves and open up the South-East, Tourist and youth recreational centers and produce Stars. let it be know that the Federal Government plan is to under develop the South-East. Am not pro Biafra but hey they are right because they feel neglected.

If the Federal Government will be wise and develop each region Nigeria will be great no region that is lacking in resources and human capital,
if they can't am begging them to consider outsourcing (to import) governance to Indians, Chinese and Germans consortium and see what will happen in just 5 years.
They will clearly and accurately map out our resources make projection and balance our books and business will take shape, the Generals and cabal will still have their percentage coming if not even flowing to them with much ease and Nigeria will remain stable too (win-win for all)

The Ndi-Igbos should use this opportunity well and put their foot down, for a clear cut referendum, restructuring and possible constitutional backing or accommodation of protection and compensations of life and properties from warring youths of the north and south west.

Anytime the youths of the North and South-West wants to[b] loot and rape[/b] they go for Ndi-Igbos and in the end no one is jailed and no guarantee it won't happen again or a compensation to Propitiate and as a palliative measures for the lost of life and properties on the side of the targeted victims (be it Ndi-Igbos, Christians or any non indigenes may suffer from Indigenous groups or State official fiat with bad socioeconomically but political motivated and unwarranted affliction)

to this I call the Good people of The North, the South-West and Igbos and all the Good and God fearing Minds to press it on the Government and especially our bicameral Legislators to as a matter of urgency enact laws that will make it mandatory, for victims to receive compensations and unhindered access to health and basic needs to ameliorate the pains of ethnic brutality visited on non indeigenes, if possible their should be a clear formula to make every government organ fill the impact so that they will be on the watch to prevent further and future accordance,

e.g Federal government will own 40%
State Government will pay 30%
and Local Government will pay 20%
and political office holders will make 10%

this way the all will see the sense in keeping the peace and prosecuting the parties involve to the full extent of the law

Same for resource control, the people should own a giving percent in the resources of their state or local governments and pay tax.

if Mr. A and Mr. X are from Lagos mainland local government and buy to own a share of 1% in any company or resources located in their Local Government Area (LGA) They will be willing to expose any act of sabotage or vandalism that may want to befall the company or the illegal mining of the resource because they have direct and indirect interest in the affairs of the companies or resources in that their local government, and may suffer direct lost if any bad operation befall the normal operations of the companies and resources.

so if you own a share from the resources or big company in your local government that gives you about 10k monthly or even yearly, will you want to loose it to bad guys in your community that wants to spoil show? oh No you will give info that will give them out to the police.

In fact, they will blow the whistle so loud that the police have no choice but to arrest the bad guys and will not even think of taking bribe


Nigeria need to move on to greater things not i be Ibo or i be Yoruba or Hausa. i see sane people do business with insane people because of common interest. yes madmen give lucky number to gamblers of baba ijabu and nairabet, all they want is win win situation,
if this can happen in Nigeria there is hope and there is God, all i want is to see Nigerian and in fact all the human race unite, If the sky is large enough to contain all the stars so how big are we?

aminu790:
With all these kinds of comments above, why i no go talk am say they should leave my region

you are a Northerner. But history will judge you all when it's time.

What you guys haven't realised yet is that every region in Nigeria is fast waking up from slumber; there are no more underdogs as was once the case.

You can keep dreaming that your people owns Nigeria, a Nigeria sitting on bomb that can go off anytime soon.

jadyclem:


guy u dull o! this ur tribal bigotry is not making u to read between the line of what that man is truly saying. this man is simply saying that they would rather shed innocent blood than allow the status quo in Nigerian politics to change.
avn't you asked yourself why avn't dese guys added their voice to d call for the restructuring of Nigeria? Because they are d highest gainers they want things to remain the same and keep Nigeria in perpetual bondage and backwardness. The last time I checked I discovered dat Igbos are open to restructuring but they are not. if Igbo shld go, then I don't think anyone would want to be with d north. the sooner you open your eyes and mind and grasp what's playing here, the better for u. the agitation for Biafra is not d problem here!

Na me u write all this for? Guy, u get time o cos I don't even read such..... Lol

These guys are delusional north developed south. Oil exploration was a joint venture. Second wasn't palm oil biggest export. From what I remember South Protectorate was the more economicly productive region. Develop yourselves if you're the mighty developers.

You have mentioned palm oil. Mention another one

Cocoa and rubber.

This one is trying to rewrite history.

I don't have problems with you supporting your youths in any way you feel but where were you when cocoa, among other stuff was the main stay of the nation. This deliberate amnesia can be very annoying, mallam. Always get your facts right and don't ever try to mislead people on matters of history.

aminu790:

No problem.

We will divide the country and everybody will be at peace. Don't think it will end with just Igbos leaving the North.

This is the beginning of the end of Nigeria. Go write it down.

lilfreezy:


Yea, u could be right. But the thing is nairaland is a faceless forum. I've never been a tribalistic. I see so much hate online but on ground things seems to be OK. Nnamdi kanu followers are mostly illiterates they are demanding for biafra and I'm demanding for good governance. [/b]I blame the SE leaders for not cautioning him[b]. I saw one of his hate videos and i wasn't impresses.

No, you don't blame SE leaders. You blame ordinary igbo men like yourselves who kept quiet while his illiterate followers spoke for you. Who didn't call into his radio station to caution him. Who have never cautioned any of their Afonja screaming brethren here on nairaland. That's who you blame.

The old senile man needs to go and join Buhari in London and get treated.

Seems his anger is not towards Igbos alone. Yoruba people get ready to be lashed.

That's a disrespectful way of talking about your hero Buhari.
This man's sin is that instead of focusing on Igbos and IPOB, he disgressed and expressed the silly opinions of his Arewa group. If he had focused on Igbos, this thread would've turned to another Igbo bashing.

aminu790:

The world didn't go crazy. You only exposed yourself and you'll keep doing so.

Your game plan has always been to cause terror, chaos and stampede while you carry out your objectives.

The table will turn against you once a few things are put in the right places.

Ango Abdullahi is the worse hausa man ever lived. He is the one fanning the ambers of fire for secession

I quote

“If you are from the North this is a fact, not an insult. Do not blame me. Blame history. In 1913, Lord Harcourt agreed to a proposal from Lord Lugard to amalgamate Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria so that, according to Newbury “custom revenues from the south paying for the projects in the north”.

“Right now, we should be building unity in Nigeria, however, we must not distort history to do that. Southern funds were used to develop the North. This is a historical fact. As a matter of fact, here is a direct quote from Lord Harcourt, the then Secretary of the Colonies who in 1913 said “we have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the economy. The promising youth …is about to effect an alliance with a Southern lady of means (referring to Southern Nigeria)"

Tell the drunk elder statesman that it is too early in the morning to be drunk.

He should also know that he cannot run and scratch his anus at the same time.

He can only deceive his illiterate kinsmen and not the South, for we are well read and robustly informed.

You were part of the people that voted Buhari to power. So please enjoy the change.

The only option left for Nigeria is to bring back Goodluck Azikiwe Jonathan on 2019.

The man made a point but that won't serve the present situation in the country. Is the groundnut pyramid still in existence for economy development of the North.

I usually dont want to comment on tribal issues but i'll drop my two pence. With the hatred expressed here towards Yorubas; how do you feel any will trust your Biafra enthusiast to support them. Yorubas dont like the Hausas mutually but liking Biafrans would have been easier if not for the superior complex exhibited by a relevant minority.

Wheneva you guys have issues with the North, your first call is Afonja this and that. Instead of facing those you have issues with, you tend to circumvent to blame Yorubas.

How does Biafra creation affect an average Yoruba man? It has neither negative or positive effect. Instead of being diplomatic and avoid generation of ill feelings from a region you know is known for diplomacy; you guys feel generating hatred is the best option.

I am a nobody to implore people but still I will advice Yorubas to stay out of issues involving Biafrans. Cos am sure we are not ready to force people to stay. I repeat: no one wants to force you to stay. Create Biafra and enjoy it. Other regions too will survive; so will yours.

Note my use of Biafra and not Igbo. Cos i av a lot of Igbo friends who do not exhibit the high grade stupidity i see on this forum.

I don't recall telling u l am Biafram. I was only condemning a wrong so stop jumping to conclusion. Feel free to read my other posts on this matter.

I am pretty sure, i didnt call you one. If there is anyone jumping here, it should be you. You gave an opinion and I countered with another; and somehow, I have jumped into conclusion?

You know sometimes, people can share differing opinions and still be civil and objective.
