why would I want to step foot in the north pass Abuja? So I will leave my sweet life in Enugu and go to Sokoto deserts...what for

GetSugaMumndDad:
The hunger to have power In their hands made Nigeria what it is today,they knew the were incapable,not as wise or intelligent as their colonial masters,they didnt have intellect to run a country but still fought to have the control. look at denmark,france,spain,portugal and many more were british colonies they let their colonial masters improve their countries to the extent they wouldnt need their help again then fought for independence.THATs WISDOM

but no my country Nigeria was just too hungry for power and chased the colonial masters away even before they could do anything.

This tells a lot about you; one of which is that you have never set foot in the North. I regret wasting my time on you. Keep deceiving yourself.

Happy Independence once again.

FiftyFifty:


But he will continue to remain great and greater than any Ibo man/woman dead or alive.

selemempe:
lol...what's wrong with people today? Everywhere I look on nairaland today are poor students of history.
Please bro... before you mislead people here, just know that the bolded did not happen.

FiftyFifty:


No wonder. But Abuja too is North, if you don't know. "Sweet life in Enugu" indeed, tell that to the marines...

meccuno:
if that is what they teach you guys in Almajiri school then I overestimated the dumbness of an average northerner. Even Ngozi Iweala is light years ahead of that terrorist called Bello. So in your low I.Q calling a jihad makes one great?

sweetonugbu:
you don't know anything,the population of the northerners in the East is alarming,not to mention the middle belt.

immortalityk:
Please sir What's your state of origin

adoboy04:
Igbo man will say Yoruba are traitors now U can see. Zik betrayed Awo to align with north and today Igbo would be crying fowl saying Yoruba is betrayal

FiftyFifty:


Stop wallowing in a state of confusion like a headless chicken, Sardauna is greater than ANY IBO man/woman dead or alive. Kiss the truth young lad. NOI? That kleptomaniac who led Nigeria to recession? IQ my foot! Almajiri school has produced your leaders, yes your leaders, whether you like it or not and it will continue to do so. Ibos are the reason why Nigerians are despised everywhere around the world due to their criminal tendencies, prove me wrong.

meccuno:
because you produce people who rule doesn't make them leaders. You must be insane to even think that Bello would tie the lace of Ngozi. What were his achievement as premier of the northern region. Yes Almajiri have produces our rulers that is why we are in this mess. Bello might be a leader for illiterates like you but not for us. You are talking about being despised the greatest thieves to come out from Nigeria are from the North. And you dare talk about tarnishing your image. What stupid idiotic image does Nigeria have when and at what time? Name 5 of your best Northerners that have even made Nigeria proud you dvmb fvck. If the south is talking based on achievements you and your lots should better shvt the fvck up.

FiftyFifty:


Lol. It's pleasing seeing how this swaggering, incompetent brainless baboon keeps barking like a wounded dog. Do you know that Nigerians are now asked by security personnel abroad about their tribe? No thanks to the Ibos; the drug pushers, armed robbers, kidnappers, cultists, scammers, name it. There is a huge difference between South and South East, get this straight to your empty skull. Ibos aren't welcomed in Lagos so also Port Harcourt so which South are you talking about? You may be suffering from selective amnesia, I see. Sardauna is greater than any Ibo man/woman dead or alive, kiss the naked truth boy. I hate to see you citing NOI as a reference. In saner climes, that cantankerous kleptomaniac would have since been put behind the bar where she rightly belongs. When it comes to leadership, Ibos can't talk. Show me one leader in the history of Ibos; is it Azikiwe the unity beger or Ojukwu the boastful coward, who after all his gragra couldn't win even a Senatorial seat? Ibos are cursed, nothing good will come out of that God God-forsaken tribe.

What was Sardauna's achievements as premier of the North? This boy must be under the influence... I do not blame you. You're Ibo (I Before Others) after all.

Tell me how is he's misleading people with his information?


Bro this guy is 100% right

Take it or you leave it

selemempe:
every street in the east is littered with northerners selling kiosk or frying suya or begging
Or doing cattle herder
There are by FAR much more abokìs in the east than Igbos in the north. By at least 3 million more abokìs in the east. And for your info the reason Igbos in the north are thought to be more is because they are richer...an igboman can be the richest person in his neighbourhood in a northern state while the abokìs in the east are poor peasants

Haywhysat:
U are very ignorant.. Come to katsina and see ur Brothers doing all these menial jobs, u knw nothing...

selemempe:
like what? Video one of them and show me cos the chances of me coming to Katsina in this life is near to zero. What for? To be killed by terrorist?

Haywhysat:
Well, am presently serving in katsina and i have seen many igbo people here, even more than yorubas... That's all. If u don't knw something, stop asserting, u haven't been to North self.

selemempe:
compare the Igbos in Katsina with Hausa in my neighborhood in Enugu...almost every gate in my neighborhood is guarded by an abokìs and almost every beer parlour in our area has an abokì suya seller.

Haywhysat:
Okay then, i can't say, i haven't been to Enugu state as well. And i wasn't even comparing the two, just saying there are sizeable number of igbos in North as well...

seunmsg:
At independence, the British handed over Nigeria to two out of the three men in the picture. Azikiwe as Governor-General and Tafawa Balewa as prime minister. The kind of leadership they provided from 1959-1966 laid the foundation for what the country has become today. We had great potentials at independence but they ruined everything with their incompetence, ethnocentrism, corruption and hatred for Awolowo.

meccuno:
this slowpoke thinks the Igbos are his mates. What even gives you the belief that a region filled with irredeemable illiterates and peadophiles can match up to the Igbos? I don't blame you. If not for the British you probably would have ended up shining shoes or trekking with a cow from Kano to Lagos after having bouts of sex the cow. Is Abacha an Igbo man who looted the country dry the biggest thief in the history of Nigeria? Or is it Babangida who a coupist destroyed the foundation of this country with connivance with the IMF? Or is it shagari who an ordinary primary school teacher bereft of ideas as a president Chase ghanians away in the famous Ghana must go saga with umaru dikko one of the most corrupt criminals in that era? Brought back in a crate by mossad?Abdusalami who bought a watch of 25 million back then in 1999? The Northerners are lazy people who cannot earn a honest living without the support of government. How is fvcks sake are you comparing Igbos with your sorry Arse? Are you demented or intentionally stvpid what basis are we comparing an Igbo man with a Northerner? In sports you idiots have never achieved nothing. Academics what exactly have you done? Sciences what? Business what? I am proudly Igbo and I don't give a fvck what you think. You can make fun of my tribe saying all sorts but where the line is drawn when. You compare an massively uneducated North to the Igbos. Nnamdi Azikwe had his PHD in the 50s when your stvpid Bello was learning how to speak English. Ojukwu you berate went to Oxford and came back with a master's degree in history. Please who is ahmadu Bello?? The glory we have brought to this nation surpasses all that which you think is negative. Please respect those who are greater than you in every aspect. Never in your life compare a brain dead region to a region where an average uneducated trader in the east is by far more intelligent than all the emirs in the North combined. slowpoke

izombie:
You mean those they destroyed nigeria by chasing the white man away.

HiztoryBox:
are you saying that colonial admistration is better for us?

FiftyFifty:


Nothing is as exciting as writing to arouse the anger of rancorous nonentity who ignorantly take his foolish self so highly. Is shoe shining or whatever you called it not better than drugs, 419, cultism, among others? You must be high on Aba weed to type that balderdash. Which glory did you bring to this nation? Have you ever set foot outside Nigeria and see how Nigerians are treated due to one good-for-nothing tribe? I know an Ibo man who changed his name to Jibrin, he spent want to be identified with his tribe. What a shame! Your ranting will not change the fact that Sardauna, Sir Ahmadu Bello is greater than any Ibo man/woman dead or alive. It's an abomination to even compare Sardauna to an Ibo man. You shamelessly brought "achievements" in support as if we all don't know how Ibos pay their ways to Super Eagles with no commiserate result. Keep wallowing in a state of confusion like a headless chicken that you and your folks are. The tribe on a dead sentence from Africa, Euarope, Asia and Americas is the one bragging shamelessly. Ibo -I Before Others- you people that can't go and "develop" your states for fear of village people are here ranting. Show me one Ibo leader accepted as such by the majority of Ibo people. Show me one, you slowpoke.
