Norsemen anye O,vikings Mikasa,I sight men with the Norsemen Barrett on that picture,you can also see egede there too,but not eiye,Eiye is not our identity, that is the only major frat you won't find in south east


Proudly a Norseman

IPOB and criminality are 5 and 6.
I'm not surprised you are a cultist.
Majority of IPOB people in Igboland are cultists and criminal elements too.
Iko unu ga-eju.

Pentagon007:



On this list the South West dominate with 32 names against South East with 24 names while in the Paralympic list, the south East dominate with 25 names out of a total of 48 names. By the way, we can check for other years too and I believe it will show clearly that South East is dominant.

You have time for him.
The only medal that matters, the Olympics gold medal..
Only an Igbo has won an individual gold medal for Nigeria.
That alone beats whatever anyone has done anywhere else, local or international.

What an Irony coming from a man who gatecrashed on SE turn to have a shot at the presidency after Buhari, knowing that his SW already had 8 full years of presidency with OBJ and 8 full years of VP with Osibanjo.

cn401:


Have you been to Enugu brother? Not to belittle what HE Otti is accomplishing. But none has sured HE Mbah's work ethic

Have you seen how much debt the thief called Mbah is stockpiling for Enugu state?

Enugu has always been beautiful, it has nothing to do with the crook Peter Mbah.

Those who sit on justice and equity while promoting injustice, will cry in the future, because there will never be peace without equity and your country will never amount to anything this way.

jaxin119:
Without reading the post I definitely know that Anambra will top the list. Back then when I was in Calabar, my Anambra friends returned home to write JAMB and WAEC and they all made excellent grades through malpractice. Unfortunately most of them graduated with poor grades from the university because of limited rooms for malpractice in the university.

You are just a hater, Anambra is millions of light years away from your Cross River in academics and any other aspect of human endeavours.
That's why Anambra has Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, etc all world class academic giants and your Cross River has none.

Pickieox:


Two chaps had 370

I was about posting this.

Obaofaba:
Yoruba amaka!!!

Silent achievements is their core values.

Nigeria is blessed to have them.

You are already blowing the trumpet, yet saying "silent achievers" what an Irony.
A people who constantly claim to be "the most educated" and scream same from rooftops are claiming to be "silent" at same time.
Maybe "silent" has a different meaning in Yoruba language from the English meaning.
Yoruba and silence are two words that can never meet.

Cc. Pazienza, coldie. This is a woman that was begging us in Enugu during 2011 presidential election to vote for her husband by saying that SE and SS are one, now the fat pig is doing U- turn.

We are just watching and observing. That nonsense that happens In 2011 won't repeat itself anymore.

By now Ndiigbo should have learnt our lessons. Afflictions will never arise a second time.
That's why I was laughing at the plan to have GEJ run again with a Northern VP.
I bet the reasoning behind such stupid thoughts is that they assume Igbos to be a fo.oolish people. They expect a GEJ who never lifted a finger to pay back he got from SE when Obi contested, to vote for GEJ again.
These people really don't rate us, they probably think we are mentally challenged.

aljharem:
I am happy with this. I have told bini people they will lose everything with this their anti-yoruba ways only.

Bini is and has always been yoruba that is why we Lagos Island people accepted them.

Now this imaginary empire they are claiming will be their downfall eventually

How can one lose what was never theirs?
And by th way, who told you that Igbanke is a property to be won or lost?

waternogatenemy:
Igbanke people should also change their name back to Igboakiri.


They are the people who answer Igbo in their name before it was changed after the civil war, time to return it back.

Igbanke was never at any point called Igbo akiri, how many times will you guys be corrected on this?

Coldie:

I laugh at ur post, I don’t want to talk much, I would repeat to every igbo out there concerning the igbanke matter, stand down.

A word is enough for the wise.

A lot of u fighting for igbanke are not well travelled, or are just based in the east or have limited exposure.

I know that igbanke situation and ikwerre situation is very similar, if u like put ur head on the line for them.

They claim to be of ika, a group that for decades have been saying they are bini and not igbo. Me personally know what I have done concerning this matter. U say we are begging people, how exactly does my post mean beg?

Me and u who is begging?

Is it me that’s stating history as it is or u that’s begging a group that has said they are not igbos to be igbo?

Igbanke kings came out and said they are Igbos, they changed the servitude and slavery Enogie for noble Igbo titles of Obi and Eze.
That's enough justification to stand by them.
Igbo Unification is a far greater and noble cause than Peter Obi political ambitions.

You want to give away Igbanke to Bini in order to ensure they vote for Obi, that's a stupeed move, you don't cede your people to slavery on altar of uncertain political , the Bini have no agreement whatsoever with you that they will Obi coming elections, you are only setting yourself up for failure with such move. Tomorrow when APC rig there with the basic organic they have in Edo , you start crying "betrayal" as usual, you don't learn.

Politics is a game of numbers, those who balkanized Igboland post civil war are not stupid, they know what they did and continue doing.
To rise again we must focus on the foundation, the foundation is Igbo reunification, it will give us the spring to do better in national politics.

Igbanke will be brought back to the fold, Bini can keep their votes, Peter political ambitions is a battle I'm willing to sacrifice on the altar of Igbo unification.

Streetinvestor2:
The problem is that these people you mentioned are never voted by majority of our people
The other corrupt side always help them get to the governor position to use them to just get the 25% they need in future. I can say that with all baldness for my state imo.
Then for the game you said.It is always possible to hold the north for an agreement. The SW is always snake with double face.It is always impossible to hold them to any agreement. The past history of nigeria has always shown it.

We need to start having that double face too.
The North or any one else must and should never be guaranteed of our votes.
Our votes must remain uncertain until last minute.
No fanatic for anyone.

We can stop them if we bring the energy we bring to FG elections to governor elections.
I know many "useless" Igbos of Imo origin who campaigned and voted for Uzodimma re election in Imo, one of them is even a lecturer, a Ph.D holder, we were close friends in the University, same with the thief Peter Mbah.
These people had organic votes from our people upon which they built their rigging machinery.
It's self denial to claim that they were imposed on us by outsiders..
Our people played a role. I know Nkanu friends who out of parochial sentiments voted for Mbah even when they knew he is a thief that helped Chimaroke launder the state money.
We can and should do better going forward.

Streetinvestor2:
You too get sense.This has been my advocacy. The SW has played this game all this yrs.They portray igbos as bad while aligning with north for economic and political gain.
The only option as it stands now is igbos not to get deceived again that anything happening in 2027 is for southern gain.It will be for SW gain simply. The SE should align with north in 2027 and have proper agreement if possible written for what it is in it for SE and beyond. Obi most not even contest. Let play the politics as they have been playing it.The north can have the president while we have major economic gain for SE.What is SE gaining with SW as president beside SW dominance in all government sector and additional monopoly to lagos so that we will keep increasing thr agr.The 2031 election to SE should not be te rubbish about southern president. It should be about our economic and political interest and development. The last southern president was gej which we championed was never seen as sacrifice.
I repeat the SE should align with north in 2027. and forget that scam they claim southern president or unity.The north remains our best partner in everything beside religion difference and intolerance. That we can live with as a people who travel over all the world

I think we should keep our cards close to our chests.
Not be quick to throw to the North, because if you do so, SW will panick and the North will use us to get favourable negotiations from Tinubu second tenure and leave us in the lurch while they wait their turn in 2031.
All the talks from the North about Alliance with SE for all I care is their way of trying to exert pressure on Tinubu to give them positions.
As long as Tinubu don't see us truly throwing for the North, he will call off their bluffs and maintain his Yorubacentric government.
But if we rush and throw our to the North, we only make ourselves pawns in the Northern chest game with the SW, Tinubu will respond by handing the North favourable posts in his second tenure and they will shield their swords, they will use us to settle their difference and wait for 2031.


The right way is to not throw to North, keep our cards to our chests, just stay ambivalent , No for any of them, let them battle it with Tinubu, let's see who is coming out on top first, just keep playing a long game, once a winner emerges close to the finish line, you rush and congratulate him and close ranks with him to crush the loser.


Try and consolidate our home base, sack thieves like Peter Mbah, Uzodimma, and incompetent fellows like Nwifuru from governor positions in our region.
The energy we expend on Presidential elections, let's bring it to play in our governorship elections, get Igbo nationalist, pragmatic, altruistic and competent hands to power in our states.

Zik played similar politics in 1979 and 1983.
We must do same again.

No for any non Igbo group or person, just keep our block votes for ourselves, then wait for the winner at the finish line and quickly close ranks with him, no antagonism, no drive whatsoever to cry over the winner being a bad choice for Nigerian progress,just play a long game plan, let Nigeria continue going down, the rest don't care, so why should we care?
Something like this.

DMerciful:
The reason Nigeria has not totally fallen bellow disrepair is because of the tendency of Igbos to insist on justice and fairness.

When free, fair and credible elections come to Nigeria, Igbos will have the upper hand

Nnaa, Nigeria will never evolve to have credible elections, not even the west want that for Nigeria, just as the rest of Nigerians don't want it as well.

It will do us good to work with what is available than on fantasies ( credible elections).

Agbegbaorogboye:

You still don't get it do you
APC presently controls 2 out of 5 states in SE. Obi's LP controls only 1. If you're not fanatical enough to deliver all your states to your own kinsman why do you accuse others of not being fanatical enough for you?
The SS states gave Obi a win despite the fact that his party did not control any state there. Why do you now accuse them of not being fanatical enough?

LP controlled no state in SE, yet Obi got 90% plus votes in SE, why couldn't APC and co rig in SE?
It's simple, you need foundational to rig.

If the same condition existed in SS states, then Obi would get 90% plus votes there like GEJ got in SE.

As for your write up about APC controlling states in SE, what does that have to do with our discussion here, if anything they buttress my point.

Thank you.

Shattuck:
this is where you are wrong when you talk about ancestral land hope you don't mean 50-100 years occupation, esan, etsako those are people who have ancestral land, the local govt they occupy is one of the ancient towns in Benin, I don't know much about the present issue on ground but to say igbanke land is ancestral means you know little about the issue on ground.

You are talking nonsense.
Igbanke are in their ancestral land.
You better mind yourselves.
Your Oba will not be spared if you continue this provocative expansionist action in 2025.

Let Igbanke people be, they are not in your Bini land, they are just sharing a state with you by virtue of state land demarcation.

stanluiz:
So you are suggesting that we should be voting for Apc In presidential election starting from 2027 ?

Nigeria can't be saved and no Nigerian group is interested in saving Nigeria, Ndiigbo should wake up

Ndiigbo should do whatever it takes to place us back in National politics, I mean whatever! I don't care.
This way we are in a strong political position to negotiate our escape from this failed British colonial estate.

That's my point. The Greeks fought against Troy for years outside the walls of Troy, and even with all their mighty men of valour in place, they couldn't harm Troy.
Not until they found a way to get themselves into Troy by building the Trojan horse.
We have numbers, we mustn't be the president, but if we are open enough to play the Machiavellian politics, we can get things done by playing our cards ruthlessly with no regard for the future or betterment of Nigeria,only thing that should matter to us in this phase is our interests, not wrong or right! Just our interests.
This is how the rest of the country have been playing their own politics, it's about time we learned too.

Antivirus92:
for me, there are better things for us to discuss than Nigerian politics. Our lagging behind in the Nigerian politics is not only because of how we play politics but on the lack of from other regions. The north are still looking for that igboman they can trust, which maybe Jesus Christ when he comes down from heaven since they couldn't pick any reliable person of igbo origin since time immemorial.

Let's focus on our business, education, development and expansion.

They can keep their politics for all I care

The last sentence is a statement of a man incapable of strategizing.
A defeatist mentality..
I myself I am anti Nigeria and pro Igbo independence.
But if at this point you haven't realised that to retrieve Igboland out of Nigeria successfully, we have to find a way around national politics, then you are not rational.

No Nigerian group like each other. Ijaw is fighting Itsekiri, Ijaw are dragging Gelegele with Bini, Yorubas have issues with North currently, within North there are issues too.
So saying no one s you is funny, no one owe you .
A wise people strategize and find ways to get things done.
A finished people remain static, refusing to adapt to a changing environment while pointing fingers at everything else.
You can't ignore politics, especially in a centralised setting like Nigeria.
Your enemies will wake up one day and enact a policy that will wipe away all the stupid economic benefits you think you amassed in a blink of an eye, if you make noise, soldiers will be deployed in your zone..
Some of you are so out of touch with reality, it's mind boggling.

Elusive001:



This man go and rest.

You have absolutely no say where igbos are. We don't play politics. We don't corruption, dishonesty, evil, etc. It will never be. We will never oga.

We vote our conscience. Instead of us to evil, we abstain. We don't and we won't evil, corruption, etc.

We cannot be like others.

Bla bla bla bla bla!

Zero wisdom.
Just open mouth waaa!

No Ako, no Uche.

Natural selection is built on adaptation. If Ndiigbo don't adapt, it will get uglier for us.
People like you with empty chest beating Messianic complex are a bane for the Igbo.

You don't this you don't that, so who were the Otimkpu that ed PDP to plunder Abia state from 1999-2023? Who were those singing radio jingles for OUK, Ikpeazu and T.A Orji? They are not Igbos right?
Who are those that helped the Supreme court governor, a man with past history of being involved in fraud business, win re election in Imo, those who campaigned for him all over 27 LGAs of Imo and helped him rig himself back? They are Yorubas?

Peter Mbah helped Chimaroke launder Enugu money between 1999-2003, until EFCC caught them and forced them to part with some of the money.
That Peter Mbah is a thief that stole from the state is no secret, he doesn't even have an NYSC certificate.
But guess who campaigned and voted for him? Fellow Igbos!
Oh he rigged? Maybe, but he had organic ers thousands of them upon which the rigging was carried out. So you can spare us the talk of being saints and voting for purity, these and that.
You guys take yourselves too seriously. You don't even see or hear how hollow you sound with these self gravitating righteous praises.


You foolishly give yourself a toga of self righteous, make a clown of yourselves in national politics trying to play saints and then turn around and start crying and accusing others of betraying you like you had any agreement forehand with them?

Lol!

Elusive001:



Bros, go and rest. No one in his right senses will vote for Buhari or Tulumbu. We don't want t status quo.

We are not brought up to corruption, incompetence, etc.

No matter how hungry a lion is, it does not eat grass. Igbos DO NOT anything or anyone bad or evil. It is in our DNA bros. We are not like your people. Anything does not go for us.

We don't follow herd mentality.

Go and learn about the Igboman.

You are an emotional person, only a fool keep doing same thing and expect different results.
You are not going to save Nigeria, because the rest of the country are not interested in saving the country.
If you continue playing this sentimental politics you will continue to fall behind, I can assure you.
A wise people will reassess and readapt their mentality and methods to fit their environment.
A foolish people will keep forcing their environment to adapt to their fixed mentality.

You and you ilks in Igboland are looking like the later and to be sincere, you wall in the majority which is why the group is going to suffer for a long time.
You know nature is harsh. Life Lessons will be repeated as long as possible with each session harsher than the previous until you learn the lesson, then you can make progress.
This will be the case for Ndiigbo.

I wish you all the best.

Agbegbaorogboye:

But you accused Rivers people of not being fanatical enough
You accused Cross River of not giving Obi a wide enough margin ditto Edo
All the while you couldn't help GEJ to retain his seat
I don't understand why you think others should go beyond what you claim you did for them

We gave GEJ 90% plus vote, we were so fanatical about our for him that it was impossible to rig him out in SE.
We knew he was the better candidate for the country and we went out of our to him full throttle. Whether our votes were enough for him to win is immaterial, the most important thing was that we delivered 90% plus for him.

When it was Obi on the ballot, everyone who is sincere knows he was the best candidate available, but did he get the same we gave to GEJ from minority zones?
Nope!

You know why? Because they don't play right or wrong politics, they play politics of interests.
Bayelsa voted APC, Rivers went to APC( you can claim it was rigged all you want, but that wouldn't happen if APC didn't have a baseline there), Akwaibom voted PDP, Akpabio job was to make sure Obi doesn't win the state and he delivered. You know why it happened? Because the people have their own interests to protect.

So yeah. Ndiigbo will have to learn to play same politics going forward. The era of free Igbo votes based on right or wrong should be in the past, you could still be right but once your victory doesn't put us in strong position, we shouldn't be seen ing you.
That's the game the rest of Nigeria have been playing and it's about time Ndiigbo play along too.

Elusive001:


Igbos vote character and not emotions.

Tell me whom igbos votes for based on emotions.

Do you really know igbos?
So not voting for buhari was based on emotions?

ing GEJ ahead of Buhari was based on emotions?

Not voting for Tinubu was based in emotions too?

Bros go and research about the Igboman please.

Nnaa it's emotions.
Intelligence is knowing the right thing, wisdom is knowing when to do the right thing.
We can't be voting on morals in a nation not built on morals. We can't be playing the self righteous game in a land of thieves.

Ndiigbo have to recalibrate our approach to Nigeria and Nigerians.
It's a crime to play the Messiah in a land of thieves.

Agbegbaorogboye:

Reading through this, it sounds like you're accusing others of not doing the very same thing you require from them

Nope, I'm not accusing anyone of anything.
I'm just saying that everyone is acting according to their own interests and not out of emotions ( good will, returning a favour, or other sentimental issues).
Ndiigbo should learn to do same, no body owe us anything, they didn't ask us to be emotional in ing them, we should recalibrate how we relate with other Nigerians and behave towards them exactly how they behave towards us.

Igirigimercenar:
. Nke bu eziokwu is that, politics is not our thing,we attach too much emotions to it

And we have also shown too much emotions and attachments to the south south. We have to move away from this and the rest of the big three to eat what is left of the country

Yes we have.
If I knew what I know now in 2011, there was no way I was going to allow us give GEJ the kind of we gave him.
You would have thought our people would have learnt from that experience, but obviously we haven't and it's very annoying.

Someone is bragging about how Igbos ed SS to walk out over oil derivation percentage, how exactly is that something to be proud of? You are ing a people who wouldn't you if the roles turn and you are doing so not out of written agreement or any agreement of any kind, but simply out of emotions and need to play righteous politics in a land of thieves? You wonder why no one is taking you seriously anymore.


That's stupidity and something we shouldn't be proud to be saying. It's something we should be reflecting on in silence and be shuddering at the amount of lack of pragmatism we have displayed in our relationship with non Igbos in Nigeria since 1999 and be thinking of how we can reverse it to start getting better deals nationally by acting ruthlessly in national issues to protect our own interests irrespective of whose horse gets gored.

Imagine how low we have sunk that I saw some Northerners talking about a new alliance with GEJ as president and a Northerner as VP.
They are probably calculating that the emotional senseless Igbos are going to GEJ again, even when GEJ has remained an ingrate who has done nothing to reciprocate the huge Ndiigbo gave him, his Bayelsa people couldn't even vote for Obi last elections.
That's how low we have sunk as a people, the rest of Nigeria don see us finish, a finished emotional people incapable of playing politics of interests, always eager to play the foolish Messiah and righteous role and be left with short end of the stick.

Our wise ancestors must be turning in their graves over what have become of modern Igbos.

We are in deep trouble.

Igirigimercenar:
. Ahhhh! The legendary pazienza,see tears rolling down my eyes

God bless you Nnam, if we get people like you to lead the igbo nation, to God nobody go fit match us for this country

For me, you are the igbo leader on this forum since 2010. God bless you again for reechoing my sentiment exactly. This is the only survival route for us in this contraption

Nwanne thanks for the compliment.
Nigeria issues can be tiring, and then we still have Igbo issues.
I use to think our people were a wise people, but the more I dug deep into our modern day behaviour and handling of our position in modern Nigeria, the more I saw folly and it messed up my mental health.
I needed some break to concentrate on my personal goals.
That's why I became scarce here.

I do look around once in while here to chip in one or two contributions.
There is only so much we can do individually.

Ya gazie.

mrvitalis:

Oga I even want Peter Obi to step aside

He can continue contesting if he wishes, I would vote for him if I were in Nigeria.
But it must be spelled out clearly to non Igbos that voting for Obi doesn't equate to doing Ndiigbo a favour, and Ndiigbo cannot be blackmailed by their votes for or against Obi.

The worst they can do is vote APC and we will all continue enjoying the dividends of democracy APC is offering, it's that easy .

Obi is contesting for himself, not for Ndiigbo.
This is important to state , because I noticed that the common trend by minorities and even non Igbos that claim to have voted for Obi in the last elections is that they seem to have the delusional belief that they did Ndiigbo a favour by voting Obi and that Ndiigbo must walk around the egg shell with them, just to make sure they vote for Obi next elections, we should accept all sorts of rubbish from them and dare not speak out.
You can imagine the delusional complex from these lots.

Well newsflash to them, they should be grateful to Ndiigbo for giving them Obi as an alternative to APC, the gratitude should be from them to Ndiigbo, and not the other way round.

mrvitalis:

Oga it's politics let South South do what's best for them... If they are ok with Tinubu presidency let them vote him

South South owes South East nothing

I tire brother.
Imagine the weak beggie beggie attitude.
The SS is free to do whatever they want, we will also react accordingly.
Nah game of thrones.

And he is dead wrong on Igbanke issue.
As long as Igbanke kings maintain that they are Igbos every well breastfed Igbo son will stand with them and against Oba Bini hegemony interest in Igbanke.
The Bini people can do whatever they want, they can all vote APC or whatever, we will all enjoy the dividends together.

No one, I repeat no one is doing Ndiigbo a favour by voting or ing Peter Obi. Ndiigbo will not be blackmailed because you voted and want to vote Peter Obi.
If you are not voting Peter Obi because he is the best candidate available, then you can as well vote APC, we go all enjoy well. We have 5 states that will continue receiving monthly allocations from FG irrespective of who is the president, all we need is to hold them able by ensuring we vote the right governors and we will be fine.
Peter Obi himself will be fine too, his Fidelity bank just declared profits few days ago.

All these Igbo Obidients rolling on the floor for minorities are beginning to annoy me like IPOB people.
Obi political ambitions is not bigger than Igbo national interests.
Minorities he is talking about, Bayelsa voted for APC last elections, GEJ was seen moving around with Tinubu before the elections, this was a man we all died for in two election cycles, yet the ingrate couldn't even lend Obi , Akwaibom voted PDP, Rivers voted APC( anyone can claim it was rigged, but it only happened because Obi didn't have fanatic there, like GEJ had in Igboland), Obi barely won Cross River, Obi won Edo, but the margin of victory was hardly "sweeping".
Juxtapose this half hearted Obi got from those places with the fanatical 90% plus that we gave to GEJ in 2011 and 2015 and you see where our problems lie .

We must eschew from appealing to people emotions when it comes to politics and learn to meet them exactly where they are willing to meet us. Wickedness must be matched with wickedness, tribalism with tribalism, hate for hate, resentment for resentment, that's the way to go.

MrDoGood:


And the capital of Bendel state was?


Now I know I'm communicating with a kid.

Go to the palace and challenge the oba.

Enjoy your weekend

So because the capital of Nigeria is in Gwariland, it means all of us are now subjects to King of Gwari?
Were you dropped on the head as a baby?
