Chyz if I didn't know better I would have thought you are Yoruba!  sad angry sad sad

You talk as if ruling other people is THE Igbo agenda. Since when did we start planning to rule other people?

Folks misunderstand Igbo hardwork and achievement for plans of domination. undecided undecided

That is why Nigeria is a [size=14pt]fat dud[/size] that cannot claim any field in world dominance; because Nigeria has been busy trying to contain and put down the rampaging Igbo spirit.

I took one look at the Super Falcons team and saw that it is dominated by Igbo girls.

That is WHY they are STRONG. Remove them, and see the team collapse again. That is part of what killed the super Eagles. undecided undecided

So, Nigeria needs to decide whether they want a winning country which dominate one field or the other (like the Swiss dominate watch making), or a country run by mediocres who lack the energy and ambition to achieve great things for Nigeria.

That is a 50 year old question.

Meanwhile, we roll! Be ourselves and if we dominate any field, well, tough luck to others! We can't live by their dictates and measure.   undecided undecided

no he does not!!!!!!!!

if the yorubas think you are dominating them, do you think there would have been ethnic clashes in lagos how do you reason

may pride not kill you guys!!!

onlytruth, because the hausa man is saying the truth and you don't want to hear it thats why you deem it as an attempt to spilt igbos undecided

the hausas and the yorubas are not friends but for us to say this together, their must be some element of truth in it.

why would 2 major tribes conspire against ndigbo why can't ndigbo and hausa conspire against yoruba. you should know that their is something wrong with your mind set

or why don't we conspire against the ijaw why only ndigbo

The Igbo spirit is a restless spirit. It has always been like this since our forefathers walked the land. We were practicing DEMOCRACY before the white man even thought about it.

We are egalitarian. And it is our believe that any person can perform great things. Even if there father could not do it.

Onlytruth bro you know i am Nwa Afor igbo. Too much boasting is not good, bragging is not good.Let us build our house and be humbled about it. I know we are successful in a lot of things but let us not brag about it UNLESS someone tries to throw their achievements in our face and down talk us. What im concerned about it Igbo. Those who try and dominate us will definitely feel the wrath but when we strike,if need be, let it be devistating but ALL FINGERS MUST BE BOLD UP TOGETHER IN ONE FIST.

You are already conspiring against Ijaw. Atlas cove was a test case.

The uniformity of purpose between the Yoruba and Hausa is for control of the oilfields of the EAST. Smart minorities know that we (Ndigbo) are the only REAL barrier between you/Hausa and ethnic cleansing of oil bearing lands.
Jonathan is not a f00l for making an Igbo man the chief of army staff.

You don't give much credit to Ijaw people.

You should know that Ndigbo never attack anyone. We only fight back. Even the 1967 war was started by Gowon, not Ojukwu.
I am trying to drive home a point, that Nigerians must accept us just the way we are or be prepared to allow us form our own country. I'm tired of One Nigeria without "Igbo dominance", well we are Nigerians.
Have you ever heard of English or German dominance or Jewish dominance of the US? It doesn't exist because all Americans ARE ONE.
Can you say that about Nigeria?
Why did folks conspire to wipe us out for the same reason they are afraid of?
Leave Nigeria, trouble. Stay in Nigeria, wahala!  angry angry angry

We WILL DOMINATE Nigeria if we can and YES WE CAN!

Please educate me. What really is ethnic cleansing? If events of 66 to 70 do not describe it, what else could? Were they not worse than Rwanda and Bosnia? Do you have to wipe out a people before you cleanse them? Do you have to kill a man before you know you have cleansed him of a supposed affliction? The events of those years, the scorched earth war programme  , the loss of able bodied, intelligent, skilled, educated and talented budding young men and women ,etc are best not spoken of in such a trivial manner as less than ethnic cleansing as if the brutality of those days were not sufficient. I can only see Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Auschwiz as worse. Probably those are the only examples of man's inhumanity to man that you see as ethnic cleansing.

Please let the dead rest in peace.

Foreign News: SIX LEADERS OF BLACK AFRICA



Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 49, of the powerful Yoruba tribe, dedicated, teetotaling Prime Minister of the Western Region of Nigeria who began as a barrister, has gradually emerged as a statesman of integrity in a land where charges of corruption are the political order of the day.





Nigeria's other regional Prime Minister, the demagogic, U.S.-educated Nnamdi ["Zik"] Azikiwe of the Ibo tribe to the east, lives under a cloud as a result of a financial scandal in his administration.

Pls can we forget all these war propaganda. we are not kids. if Ojukwu wanted to take over Lagos and capture yoruba land,he has no need of setin awo and co free from prison. he will do it since many of yoruba brave men are in prison.   pls lets continue with zik and awo alo.

As for me both are great men of por time.

Every person in the East knows the horrors that Awo implemented against the ENTIRE East. He is the most hated man in the East amongst the Igbo, Ibibio, Ekoi, Efik, Ogoni and many Ijaws.

And anyone who supports the bastard of a man is an enemy to my people. Comprende?
