Arrewa:
we want a united south bro.

You are free to unite against the north to test your political capacity.

Even the west know how politically weak the East is!

The votes coming from Sokoto and Kano alone equal the whole of the East.

Quite a shame that the only thing you can boast of the north is population.

When will you boast about the north producing the highest number of graduates, highest number of best students in exams, highest number of Nigerians who are making great achievements in the international scene etc?

You only boast of your poverty stricken population. Too bad

Arrewa:
I have seen the east that have no problems.

The east is currently the most backward region in Nigeria!

The north remain the most peaceful region in Nigeria.

Kidnapping in Katsina and Kaduna villages, Zamfara communities doesn't mean that the whole of the north is unsafe.

Kano, Gombe, Adamawa, bauchi, Jigawa, Kebbi, yobe, taraba and other northern states are all safe.

Banditry in Zamfara, kastina and Kaduna would soon be a thing of the past.

So stop using insecurity in those places to comfort yourself.

The East should forget about presidency and focuse more on Biafra

You are still disgracing yourself.

North has always been known as the poverty capital of Nigeria and the world. These are verifiable facts. Abject poverty in the north and lack of human capacity building are part of the causes of what is going on in the north

The east is way ahead of you in Education and human capacity building and you are here making a mess of yourself.

How many northerners are engaged in international achievement compared to Igbos? How many are in multinational companies? You only shine in government agencies here where you enter through wayo game. Your quota system region should be ashamed to talk when others are talking.
Why did Northern governors visit the east in 2017 to plead for peace over ipob call for Biafra? Abeg commot for road.

Buhari had to quickly abandon his treatment in UK to come and stop ipob from seccession. Stop playing hypocrisy young man.

Yenefer:
Am a huge fan of individual performance of a candidate no matter the region. First of all, our leaders have failed us. If a good leader from even the minority is fit and capable to be president, I'd vote him rather than my Hausa or Igbo brother i do not know his achievements. Negotiations must be done nation wide not just the North and in the spirit of nationhood not ethnicity. Everyone that calls himself a Nigerian be it Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba or Igbo deserves to be served to the fullest. But beware of bad strings. God bless us All

Your points are valid. I believe we will get there.

I pray PMB signs the new electoral act. It will help too.

fayomim:


Have you forgotten about two-thirds of all the regions in an election? My dear to two states cannot determine the president of a country, they can only influence the electoral process

Dont mind that guy, he likes to deceive himself.

Arrewa:
The East should forget about presidency for now!

They picked up a fight with the wrong side.

The north has the power and the capacity to decided who rules the country!

Sokoto and Kano state alone equals the whole of the East.

Oga leave your story please. The north has a lot of troubles in their hands despite your so called power to decide whatever you think.

My point is that Southerners should NOT destroy the process of producing a president from the south.

your position here makes no sense to what i am saying please. Your Sultan is already crying out about the many woes that you people are passing through in your north that has been producing president for many years. We hear of tales of woes about the north from Emir Sanusi, El Rufai, senator Sani, Atiku and many other northern leaders so i dont envy you guys abeg.

Badonasty:
lol...so igbos have finally accepted APC...APC is no longer Fulani party...

Those of them who called it Fulani party may still be calling it Fulani party even now but those who dont see it as Fulani are sill seeing as one of the political parties in Nigeria.

We are in a democracy and people are free to make their choices.

After all APC call PDP a corrupt party yet we have seen people defect from APC to PDP.

Oga leave your story, all na Naija political game style.

Arrewa:
The East should forget about presidency for now

If APC decides that in their convention then no problem. Its not a do-or-die thing.

It doesnt call for bitterness. I hope my people should understand that.

Since Umahi and some other Igbo politicians started moving into the APC it appears our Yoruba brothers are afraid with the development hence we have noticed politicians like Fashola raising their fears under the cloak of the North respecting the zoning arrangement.

Those of them here who are talking as if there was no trace of APC in the SE before now are aware that Rochas was APC governor in Imo state till 2019 but they want to play hypocrisy. Ngige, Onum Ken Nnamani, Orji Kalu and some other Igbo senators and reps are there too. Why are they afraid of their so called 5%? ( A hypocritical statement they use to display their anger against the Igbos).

Meanwhile the north is celebrating Igbos who are defecting to the APC and urging more to join while some others are jittery. Presidency is not a do-or-die affair. Let the APC choose which of the southerners they will support.

The truth is that most Igbos were against APC before now but in politics there should be flexibility, which i think the Igbos are beginning understand now. If at the end of the day a Yoruba man becomes the APC candidate then all southerners should support the person, especially if the PDP presents a northerner.

With the recent comment of EL Rufai concerrning zoning, it appears the likes of EL Rufai may deliberately create a squabble between the Igbo and Yoruba in the APC which can distabilize the party and pave the way for a Northern candidate in the PDP to win. Lets play with wisdom in the south..

My Igbo brethren who have been saying that they will vote for a Northerner in PDP just to spite a Yoruba candidate in APC should understand that politics of bitterness does not pay. Even the GEJ you supported is dinning with APC now. Politics is not a do-or-die affair please.

A southern president (whether Yoruba or Igbo) will provide a more balanced and meaningful appointments than we have now. POLITICS OF BITTERNESS DOES NOT PAY.

The blood of the Southern christians killed with ease every now and then in the North during the military era maybe behind what is hunting the North now.

Better tell yourselves the truth and ask for forgiveness.

Something is wrong with ASUU and its members, If by the end of today meeting they did not cut off their meaningless strike, Federal government should just abandon them and let them continues begging for food here and their. Awon Oloriburuku Union

What do you mean by CUT OFF?

Keep cutting. Shame on you.

I can see IPOB miscreants using this thread to throw subtle jabs at their lost lovers Ikwerre. How does this thread concern Ikwerre, I’m asking?

Don't mind ipob but Ikwerre was mentioned in the OP

Whiteangel1234:
The National Boundary Commission, NBC, has commenced fieldwork on the border communities of Imo and Rivers state.

The NBC, led by the Director General, Surveyor Adamu Adaji, yesterday spoke while flagging off the joint field team for Imo and Rivers at Ohaji/Egbema local government area of Imo state.

He said that both Imo and Rivers field team were expected to thoroughly give accurate data on the inter-state boundary. An exercise he said would last for two months.

Some of the affected local government areas, Adaji, mentioned in Imo and Rivers state included “Oguta, Ohaji/ Egbema, Owerri West, Ngor- Okpala and Ndoni, Emuoha, Ikwerre, Etche, Egbema respectively.

We charge the members to discharge their duties with the utmost sense of professionalism and commitment as well as to come up with comprehensive data for the definition of the inter-state boundary,” Adaji said.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2020/11/nbc-begins-survey-of-imo-rivers-boundary/amp/

Ikwerre is not needed in Imo state/lgbo land.

The other communities are welcome.

It's better for them to join us and be a major tribe than being a minority to Ikwerre which is also a minority tribe in a minority state

Some people has taken upon themselves to destroy Abia image....Lol Abia is blessed and those in Abia are making it. Abia is a great state an will remain great. Haters keep hating...


And as for the mods, you guys are biased and selective....you can as well push this rubbish to the front page.

why are you deceiving yourself IPOB tout.?

Your state is extremely in a mess.

ABlAstate:
Abia state has defiled development since 1999. Abia has been ruled by Orji Kalu, Ta Orji and now Ikpeazu. Abia hasn't had any form of development since 1999 till date.

Abia state is best described as the worst and most backward state in Nigeria devastated and ravaged with filth, horribly dilapidated bad roads with craters. Aba has degenerated into hellfire while Umuahia is more or less a rural area littered with old houses, bad roads and filth.

Abia state government is owing civil servants upto 1yr areas, owing pensioners upto 3yrs areas.

Hospitals in Abia state are mere poultry farms. Schools in Abia state can best be described as pig houses.

I am ashamed of being an indigene of Abia state

Abia state is simply the sewage pit toilet of Nigeria

And the useless Aba touts IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu are busy attacking Buhari and other tribes rather than pressure the governor of their dirty Abia state to improve their state. So shameful.

I'm 70% certain that ASUU will suspend the strike on Friday... I can't wait.

Strike will end when government implements all the agreement reached. Government cannot be trusted

Look, my brothers home and abroad, no be everything we go rush put on internet abeg. Make we take sense do things. This issue is under control, Mefor and his boss, Mazi Kanu are resolving this small entanglement right now now as we speak. Dont play into zoo hand. Dont play into jihadi terrorists hand and mess up the only solid movement we have for Biafra reawakening. Even if we see news on internet that talk negative we must not amplify it. We are Great Igbo and we must show it not just by mouth but by action also.

Let this issue go. Stop talking it. Drop it let it die.

Shut up. You people are disgrace to Igbos

"We Can’t Be Calling Nigeria Zoo & Be Worse Than Nigeria" - Ex-IPOB Deputy

By Wisdom Nwedene

Former Deputy Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Uche Mefor has criticised the leadership style of the group's leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


IGBERE TV had reported that Mefor resigned as Kanu's Deputy after misunderstandings between the duo.

In a statement made available to IGBERE TV on Tuesday, Mefor said IPOB cannot be calling Nigeria zoo and turn around to be worse than Nigeria.

He further said that the IPOB's principle of command and control has been bastardized and there have been the tendency and disposition to tilt towards systemic favoritism and victimisation of the vulnerable by the principal officers in privileged positions.




According to him, "IPOB cannot be an all-out Igbo configuration contrary to what we preach that Biafra encompasses and includes in reality a true representation from all the component parts of Biafra (Ibibio, Igbo, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Urhobo-Isoko-Igbanke, Igala etc) and of course the Middle Belt. These component part of Biafra must indeed and in fact be seen to be equal partners of the Biafra Restoration project and engaging directly at the decision-making level. There must be due and genuine consultation with our brothers in coastal region (or the Niger Delta region)."


The statement reads,


THE AUDACIOUS PRINCIPLE OF OUR REVOLUTION IS STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE DEFENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS,CIVIL LIBERTIES AND FREEDOM FREEDOMS OF ALL

Today, I renew these calls which are at the root cause of why I am being called names. Most of these have taken years of being raised in discussions, in writing and meetings but all fell on deaf ears or told that it was not yet time.

IPOB cannot be seen to be visibly going into armed struggle or openly advocating violence for obvious reasons.

IPOB cannot be run unilaterally. There must be a collegiate approach to decision-making because of our unique circumstances and complex nature of our Biafran society.
IPOB cannot be run as a dictatorship or in an autocratic manner. We cannot be calling Nigeria zoo and turn around to be worse than Nigeria.

The principle of command and control has been bastardized and there have been the tendency and disposition to tilt towards systemic favoritism and victimisation of the vulnerable by the principal officers in privileged positions.

The Directorate of state is NoT fit for purpose.The members of the Directorate of State are not advising the leader genuinely and conscientiously.These are responsible for problems in different families in Biafraland and around the world and formation of cabals and clannish mentality.

IPOB cannot be an all-out Igbo configuration contrary to what we preach that Biafra encompasses and includes in reality a true representation from all the component parts of Biafra (Ibibio, Igbo, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Urhobo-Isoko-Igbanke, Igala etc) and of course the Middle Belt. These component part of Biafra must indeed and in fact be seen to be equal partners of the Biafra Restoration project and engaging directly at the decision-making level. There must be due and genuine consultation with our brothers in coastal region (or the Niger Delta region).

There must not be religious imposition on the people of Biafra nor discrimination along these lines.

Every focus and attention must be on the injured, the maimed and the families of our departed brethrens. We must not abandon them.

IPOB must have and maintain zero tolerance culture to discrimination and go against this those peddling fake news against the Biafra struggle.

IPOB must as a matter of organisational policy and responsibility go against gang-ups, cabals, blackmail and lies directed against innocent people in order to demonise, sanction and ultimately remove them.

IPOB must tell the people and be clear its political position. We cannot preach that we do not have anything to do with politics and turn around to meeting politicians behind the scenes either directly or by proxy.The truth is that at the right time, Biafra agitators must be at the centre of decision-making(with reference to the effective government criteria of the Montevideo Declaration among others) in Biafraland (not in Nigeria) either directly or indirectly for Biafra to be restored.This is a requirement of international law from or of us.

If these are why I will continue to called saboteur and traitor, then so be it but all must be sure that I will definitely defend myself.

STAY WITH IGBERE TV. AFRICA'S NO1 COMMUNITY TV.

I ve always called ipob fools and that's what they are.

Recently I described them as Aba-made and some of them felt bad. Useless people.

My good people of Igbo land. You can see that Ipob is a bunch of confused elements. Please avoid them and face your business.

adadike:
Apart from his tenure as CBN governor, tell me one single thing he did for ndi Aguata ?no, Aguata is too big. Tell me one single thing he did for his town as a rich man that he is. We are tired of people that will be elected yet do nothing for the state

What you said now shows that he didn't loot government fund while in office therefore he doesn't have the money to do the kind of projects you expect from him.

Soludo is a good leader.

Shame on him

blacknp:
In all honesty you are not too far from the truth, if every state holds their state Governments accountable, all our accountability problems will be over, but we prefer to play ostrich & point at Abuja, although we claim we are practicing democracy of the people, by the people, & for the people.

Dont mind them, Hypocrites

CreateIt:




I don't give 2 f^cks about ipob or Kanu, I'm not even from Abia state, and no I'm not trying to bring Yorubas into this.

I watch with disgust how you lots go on here throwing silly tribal bants and engaging in primitive tribal e-fights everyday. The way we have people like you among Ndigbo is same way the Yorubas have theirs. You're not satisfied with all the inter-tribal fights, now you want to bring it a lil' bit home. Your soul is dark.

You can cloak it however you want, but sensible people can see right through your silly attempts.

Make a general call if you must, don't single out Aba or any state.

Idiotic post. You think i am here to cover ipob? you must be out of your sense. I am an anti ipob both offline and online and if it pains you then go hit your head somewhere, This is an open forum.

blacknp:
Are you referring to the Irredeemable Peasants Of Biafra?

Very useless set of people.

They never admit that they are wrong. Tufiakwa


How they are pursuing rat while their house is on fire baffles me

FreeBiafra2018:
The Fulani nomad is still lost in my common sense assertion. What a specie kind of ANIMAL.

You are still disgracing yourself, answer my questions.

Idiotic IPOB. Useless set of people.

Conrod:
So ipob is disturbing you?,i love that submission,you have made my day.

Yes you people constitute nuisance in Igbo land.

You behave like touts, fools and senseless lots.

CreateIt:
And you just had to single out aba in all this? Are all ipob members from aba? The same thing you accuse ipob members of is what most of you on this forum spend an entire day doing - fight and throw tribal slurs. I guess your own state is already like Dubai.

Rather than try to pit brothers against one another, why not make a call for all Igbos on this forum to continue to insist on good governance from their respective states, remain productive and stop the perpetual dance of shame with the other troublesome yorubas on this forum?

Maybe people will start taking you serious then.

What is wrong with you people? Must you mention Yoruba in this matter.

And yes, i singled Abia state because it is the worst state in the South East. Nnamdi Nkanu is from Abia and it is shame that does not channel his energy on pressing for good governance in his state.

FreeBiafra2018:
Imaging the level of foolishness in some stupid baboons who assume that they have some sense even when they lack brain. Someone asking you to bath and you assume that it's better to wash only your face than to bath the whole of your body, forgetting that when you bath' your face is also cleaned. Fools who can't reason but wants to have a say in an essential matters.

Stop fooling yourself and fault my submission. Is Abia state not in a horrible state?

What effort has your useless ipob made to push for good governance in Abia state?

Conrod:
Who are your brethens?,and who asked for your advise?

Who asked you and your useless leader to disturb us with your Idiotic IPOB?

Carry that your Aba-made ipob to Abia state and stop disturbing us.

Why is Nnamdi Kanu and his Aba-made IPOB not bothered about the horrible state of Aba?

Why are they not pushing for good governance in Abia state?

How can your state be in such a horrible condition and you left it and concentrated on abusing people of other tribes?

Abia state has been suffering under series of bad governors for the past 20 years and the best you can do is to make noise about other tribes and clamour for your so called Biafra..

You stay in the UK and be talking nonsense while your foolish followers are being wasted here.

I urge Imo youths and other Igbos not to be deceived by Nnamdi Kanu and his Aba touts who lack the ability to set their priorities right.

Imo people have always fought against bad governors from Ikedi Ohakim to Rochas Okorocha and now Uzodimma. Meanwhile Abia people never oppose bad governance in their state but when it comes to Biafra issue or abusing other people you see them making noise. What sort of senseless attitude is that?

An educated Imo should not allow Aba touts to ride on his head. Avoid the Aba-made IPOB pls.

Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo Ezi. ( charity begins from home)

its better to push for good governance in our states before attacking the FG

Yenefer:
Good. ASUU are just corrupt union after there own pocket and interest. If not Buhari is soft on citizens and converted democrat. i would have recommend he starts using gestapo style on ASUU leadership.

You are ignorant.

ASUU went on strike during the millitary era in the 80s and 90s, the millitary could not subdue them so what are you talking about?

Abdulismzip:
This is worrisome and it needs God intervention.

Worrisome? How? Did you read the post well?

From the outcome of the meeting it is obvious that the strike will soon be over.

There is hope now than before so relax.

obstead200:
ASUU is very corrupt. The reason they always succeed in bamboozling the FG and getting away with it is because the FG negotiators and decision makers is made up of a bunch of daft, incompetent and self-serving bastards who do not possess the intellect nor the wits to match the corrupt cunning of ASUU members. Put me and my likes in that team, give us a year with full autonomy to do and act as we please and we will bring ASUU to its knees

Stop sounding like an empty head.

ASUU is fighting over an agreement they had with government since 2009. Thats eleven years ago and you are here disgracing yourself.

Why has FG not taken them to court since how many times they have gone on strike over these years?

FG knows that the 2009 agreement and the memorandum of understanding they had with ASUU in 2013 and 2017, together with the memorandum of action of 2019 are all on paper and duely signed by both parties.

With such documents how can FG win them?

instead of you to blame the government for failing to keep the various agreements they entered into with ASUU you are here messing yourself up.

you think they go to have beer palour discussion with FG. Park one corner pls.
