What happened to the Southsouth -Southwest Highway, the so-called Lagos-Port-Harcourt-Calabar Express? A railroad of Lagos-Benin-Agbo-Asaba-Awka-Owerri-Aba-Uyo-Calabar should be preferable.
Moronic Nigerians keep electing fools to house of power in Nigeria. Imagine a Governor of State indicating another arm of the government does not exist.
So genocide is now ok as long as the people at the recieving end are the wrong race and ethnicity.
Thank you.
Only revisionists use certain English words in useless manner. Gaza is not a country and does not have an army. Hamas are so-called Palestinians and vice versa. It is unacceptable in human nature for a bunch of terrorists and landgrabbers to brave into a country and wantonly lay siege on the society by killing and maiming women and children. Gaza does not belong to refuges com so-called Palestinians.
Gistsnaijamedia: I just finished reading Femi Fani Kayode’s accusations of Ndi Igbo. You know that what gives them orgasm is the mention of Igbo and Biafra. For a very long time people have been ignoring Kayode even with his huge 1.3 million followers on X. Today, he wants to trend using Igbo.
Fani Kayode has accused the Igbo people of supporting Israel against Gaza. Ndi Igbo did not take a side in the Israeli-Gaza war. No Igbo group leader has commented on this war. IPOB on the other hand has not supported anyone, rather they asked them to end the bloodshed. So where is Femi Fani Kayode getting his accusation from?
Ndigbo must support Israel because Gaza is not a country but a den of Arab terrorists, landgrabbers and blackmailers. Femi Fani Kayode is a fraud who has always stood historical facts on their heads.
There is no doubt about what needs to be done. What needs to be done is that the war must be ended and internationally recognized borders agreed upon by the UN more than by the belligerents. In the olden days when borders are to be determined for administrative purposes, they would agree to set out on a particular day and wherever they meet will be the border. Very convenient. Anyone altering it would be inviting aggression. Therefore whatever third parties agree are the borders for Gaza, West bank and Israel should be taken like that by all parties since that ancient method can not be used in their case.. Reports say over thirty thousand people have been killed. Any country with an organized military close enough can end the war but they will need to notice the rest of the world and possibly obtain permission, notice the belligerent groups and if they can not end the war by themselves within the stipulated time then the benevolent nation would be obliged to march on the place and they will be applauded by the rest of the world. They will have to stay there and establish borders and also bill the beneficiaries. Turkey or Egypt or a combination of both can easily do it. They are the best bet.
UN, in 1947 through resolution 181, settled the issue yet a third party, the Arabs and Muslims, objected to the boundaries set by the resolution and declared war against the Jewish State. It is unfortunate people seem to pick and choose historical events that suit their fraudulent narratives.
Fineman2: I really don't like creating threads that will cause unnecessary fight but I've carefully studied and monitored events in Benue for some time.
What baffles me the most sometimes is the negative comments from some Igbos saying Benue people are reaping what they planted during the civil war because they helped the Nigerian government, it is one nonsense story almost every Igbo person knows.
Firstly, During the Biafra war, Benue and the entire middle belt was under the control of the Nigerian government with military administrators fully in charge, so how do you expect Benue people serving in the army not to fight with the central government.
Secondly, did ojukwo consult Benue people before going into war? Did he mention Benue as part of Biafra during his speech?
Thirdly, why are they so fixated on Benue than the rest of the middle belt?
Lastly, Is General Yakubu Gowon from Benue state? The man that fought against you
The lack of humanity in these people is truly horrifying, the same way they are supporting the massacre of innocent Palestinians in Gaza but they are always quick to report Nigerian military to ICC for trying to weed out IPOB.
During the last election, Benue, plateau and several states in the middle belt supported Mr Obi and the labour party including my family and myself, in Benue APC won with a difference of just 2k votes, maybe through rigging with the help of Akume the current SGF.
We could've supported Tinubu or Atiku, but we didn't because we believe in Obi more than the rest of the candidates.
My Igbos brothers should get that nonsense story off their heads and stop creating more enemies for themselves, you can't be fighting every other tribe and region and then expect them to support you during elections.
They must learn how to build bridges of love.
IPOB has killed more people in south east than Fulani herdsmen in Benue, it's either they sympathize with Benue people or they keep their mouths shut and avoid such threads completely.
For Benue people, I think they should stop supporting south east thinking they are brothers, they should just remain neutral and stick to middle belt region.
We pray for good leaders that will do things right and change the minds of our people, not tribalistic leaders.
Once again, there's freedom of expression in our constitution, so nobody should get mad at me for speaking my mind.
I also expect them to report this thread, but my message would have been passed by then.
Please leave Benue people alone.
You seriously deserved to be abused especially being an ill-informed Nigerian. Why would Ojukwu consult people who have already killed Ndigbo and Easterners during the pogrom in northern region of Nigeria? One of the reasons which spurred the January 15,1966 Coup was political riot of 1964 in Middlebelt of Nigeria dubbed TIV riot. Most active actors in the massacre of Ndigbo and Easterners in 1966 hailed from Benue/Plateau axis.
Blazebond: Nobody foolish reach igbo people for this country,them dey always feel as if the country need them, in their ignorance they don't know that it is the other way round,they need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them and before you begin to vibrate in una usual stupidity let me tell you that a producer or marketer of goods and services needs a huge population to deliver and render those goods and services to,what is their population in the south-east? You ignorant people don't know that you need the Nigerian population seriously but una dey allow Una mumu ipob rhetorics dey deceive una.
Zxcvbnmghtr: The simple TRUTH is, things would have been the hardest, worst had it been Peter Obi or Atiku is the President. That's the TRUTH. To be honest, Nigeria is lucky not have made a wrong choice. Thank God for Tinubu.
No pain no gain. Nigerians are not yet ready. Always looking for short cuts to success. All that is happening is only a part of the process that will inevitably lead to a very lasting prosperity but Nigerians are not ready. You think China became a prosperous country over night. Lol We are in the stage of inflation which is expected and which afterwards things will stabilize. But Nigerians are not ready.
The bolded in above post is an idiotic stream of thought which only delusional Nigerian can formulate.
The original post is pure typical and idiotic Nigerian analysis. Unlike Lagos, most states are not city on Nigerian steroid. Most states in Nigeria did not benefit from being capital of Nigeria.
modernWays: Lolz, wasted effort, he should have rather done that in pigin because an average Igbo kid don't like speaking their language, let alone reading it in textbook.
Igbos, especially those living outside South East should try to preserve their language by speaking it to their children.
ganye1: Condemnation of atrocities being committed by the isareli state is not wrong at all. We cannot keep mute when the state of Israel attacks children, women, hospitals, schools, residential buildings.
Those who tiptoe around the truth are merchants of war!!!! The above post is stereotypical crap informed by Arab's propaganda.
You guys are either automated bots or willfully ignorant of history that has played out time and time again.
Kill and displace the local population as much as you can, deny them basic economic and human rights, and usurp all economic opportunities to your race - and in half a century time or so hold aborigins remembrance days, enact affirmative actions laws that give rights to children of minority (that u deliberately created) and make sure corporations sing slogans of "no to racism", "equal rights for aborigins " etc
We have seen this template before - America, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Chile, Panama etc
Why do people who are ignorant of a fact remain the first to refer to anybody as ignorant? There was nothing such as Palestine until 1922.
I had my soft spot for Julius Malema until now. Julius Malema, you got this Palestine crap all wrong. The so-called Palestine started in 1922 and ended 1947. Anybody who idiotically claimed to be Palestinian is a freaking refugee and land grabber.
