The same way they were jubilating that Nzeogwu killed the Sardauna is how they are doing to Kanu now.. we saw where it led them to.

The North asked them to leave, they still wail. Now I ask, what do these igbos want

Paretomaster:


Bro u Make sense jare.. .....How in d world can u secede by creating more enemies for urself, I still can't find d reason why the North is a subject of insult here all the time.. .when the anger is to be directed to their elders, and politicians.. ..

Am telling you bro. Secession without issuing threats is a formidable thing to do not consitituting nuisance unnecessary

Amarabae:
JUST LOOK AT THEM.
Always mastubarting over Igbo issue.
So a cartoon of Nnamdi kanu with Buhari in wrestling is an offence BUT when some yorubas here show Dying Kwashiokor Children inorder to mock the Igbos.
It is not offensive?

did u tink dis right dat

Come to think of it, this set of people will still seek to remain in Nigeria, either by hook or crook after the secession.. ..

Igbos want the National Assembly to invite UN to conduct Referendum before violence erupts.

It is business. Drug pushing, counterfeiting, child trafficking now war mongering. The guy who made the poster of Kanu defeating PMB I trust is now selling like wildfire. Imagine what kind of adult would think of what would appeal to adults and comes up with infantile caricature of politics. If FG is nice enough a new wave of education should start in IPOB now. teaching them how to communicate their demands in the language of civilized societies

The author of this thread is very stupidd if not outrightly dense in the brain.

I will picture evidence of Buhari killing IPOB, shiite and Niger delta militants published by Northern media and sold as Magazines and Calendars all over the North. Especially in Keffi, Kano and Mararaba axis.

Trust me na. I speak Hausa fluently and I mingle with them. So, getting the pictures is not an issue.


If the Author of this thread is Yoruba, be aware that the hypocrisy you people breed on this forum stinks to the high heavens.

TRUTHTOPOWER:


I don't love Igbos any more than I love Tibetans or Zulus. As a Nigerian however it is my obligation to be conscious and be concerned about everyone whose acts or omissions can put the entire nation in jeopardy. There are igbos that are more beneficial to me more than many of my own kindred. I know many igbos who will make this claim about me also. We love ourselves not because we are Nigerians but because we are humans and humans indeed.

my plea is not for you to stay as ideal as that should be. my plea is for you to be mindful of how you decide to go. from the look of things the vehicle of your departure looks like an armoured tank and the vocabulary of your diplomacy is more vulgar than ennobling. under the circumstances you don't expect any reasonable Nigerian to your destructive tendency.

u lov igbos and u spiral everysingle thing every single igbo individual does out of proportion using evil propaganda,so as to create a kind of enemity for the so ur 'much beloved igbos'.

Why give ventilation to hausa irrational attitude?

Hausas insults igbos everyday in dia own way,calling dem yamarins,second class citizens,and gloating ova igbo misfortunes,but u guys never see dat.herdsmen wreak havoc all ova d country,but u guys never remind fulanis of ethnic cleansings,..but a clown superimposes wrestlers' faces with kanu and buhari and u evil ones r reminding igbos of 1966 massacres,while lauding d murderous fellows and subtly telling dem how, 'nigerianly' acceptable it is to carry out such babaric murders!

Why can't IPOB form a political party and control South East first. Then by resolution of their Houses of Assembly seek to alter the Zikist doctrine of indissolubility enshrined in the 1999 Constitution. After making Nigeria constitutionally dissolvable then move to dissolve the Union or separate from it.

Throughout this period of constitutional changes, Kanu could be the leader of their political party or the governor of a state to whom other IPOB governors defer. such bold step would benefit all ethnic groups in Nigeria who feel even more marginalised. But to make insults and threats your tool of separation from a sovereign power is nothing but an attempt to violently profit from crisis because no reasonable mechanism could ever yield you the sinister and selfish profits you desire.

Biafrans..A very unruly and disorganised tribe

Yes it's offensive but quit displaying the victim mentality. I have been long here on nairaland to know that the igbos started this hate speeches here, the book "there was a country" released by chinua achebe ignited most of these hate speeches.

The biafran children pictures you made mention of was in reaction to most of your hate speeches here. Especially whenever you guys insult awolowo.. Ordinarily, most of us have no business with whatever you guys are doing but just to let you know that nobody has monopoly over hate speeches. this is exactly what the arewa youths has done by issuing out an ultimatum


Even at that we have people like MasterChen and many others yorubas who usually appeal to the odua soldiers to take the pictures of the biafran children down.. Sometimes the mods usually do the needful.

Now, have you ever rebuked any of your brothers for posting pictures of rat poison with awolowo unprovoked?

I have told wristbangle that you are an hypocrite, he probably thinks other wise

Don't play a cowardly victim. Bring up just one propaganda of the north of any zone against Igbo and I will condemn it with equal vigour. even if you don't I condemn every act of violence or oppression done particularly because the victims are Igbos and done regardless of the ethnic status of the victims.

The truth of war is: War is caused by something. belligerent acts begets belligerent retaliation proportionately or otherwise. belligerents may continue to kill themselves whilst complaining to the whole world about war crimes. at some point common sense would prevail and there will be truce or armistice. Any party who may suffer most may pursue other peaceful ways of settling a conflict.

Forgive me if I don't share your sense of tolerance, but I can't understand your plight if you don't recant all the insult you have hauled at my tribe or my leaders. what I understand is your violence is proportionate to your present capacity. If the tables were turned you will do greater violence. so in war it is not only the one that bear the sword that gets the blame but also those that bear the pen as well. because the pen is mightier than the sword. so with your pen, you could kill more than a suicide bomber. you are free to call it freedom of speech just as I am free to make sure that your freedom is not a license to destroy my own liberty of peace.

Your first point is about stupidity. your second point is dense in the brain. As you can see when you approach a debate from the point of stupidity and dense brain the outcome will be stupid or at best dense in the brain. translate this to the experience of your ilk in the Nigerian debate the outcome has always been stupid for you and occasionally dense in the brain. since 1966 when Ojukwu preferred to sustain his Biafra ambition with millions of Igbo destinies. at the end he came back to contest in Nigeria. which is wiser. to make decisions that would keep millions of Igbo children alive and contest or make decisions that got them killed and still contest? Since your approach is that of stupidity, I I know you would make the "brave stupidity choice" interesting though, others not you have to die for your bravery.

Kanu is here again. He made all that noise. got incarcerated. released. cohorts languishing in jail. He adopts the Jewish monk style as against the one that got him arrested. and got protesters killed. before his violent propaganda no one was bowing to him. After his violent propaganda he is now in company of politicians and hero worshipers and the Zoo bail condition, he tries to abide by. So in a way I can see why stupidity has his own irers: it is a means to an end!

http://newsrescue.com/new-details-of-how-nzeogwu-killed-sardauna-from-british-secret-files/ In this article, there is a picture that depicted Nzeogwu as Saint John standing over a dragon an Igbo business man called Sardauna. This picture was used as a label for the Igbo businessman bread. The bread sold like wildfire in 1966. Sadly also, many igbos lost their lives in real wildfires because of that wicked mockery of the most revered northern leader at that time. What followed was a civil war that claimed millions as casualties.

It is 50 years again. The need to appeal to the savage instinct of IPOB has become urgent again. see this here https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/3865685/what-saw-onitsha-today-nnamdi in this thread you will see a picture of Kanu as a powerful wrestler and defeating PMB. another wicked mockery by another Igbo businessman.

Yorubas, Ijaws, Tivs, Gbagis have engaged and are engaging the system without appealing to savage instinct of the basest in their ethnic groups. You will never find a picture of Abacha mocked or an audio or write up of this ethnic groups making Abacha ethnic group a scapegoat. in spite of Odi crisis, Ijaws did not scapegoat Yorubas. Through tactical engagement of the system Ijaws produced the President before Igbo's.

Mark this: IGBO frontline agitators are only interested in profiting from agitation by the crudest means possible. As soon as they get what they want they go quietly into the night why deceiving their people with a veneer of solidarity.

NB this people will see this thread only as an attempt to deny them the benefit of their perfidy against their own people and the savages who don't know a better way to becoming important will align with their rabble ros.

I am not surprised. One of your comrades defended Evans by boasting that his victims were able to cough out $1m. so for your lot atrocity does not matter once you have benefit to derive. What is puzzling to us is that you cry as victims when those you wanted to victimise turn the table against you. Before 1966 there was no coup. Igbos led the coup killed leaders. seized power. The boasted for over 150 days proclaiming their conquest. suddenly table turned and they became victims. They helped Shagari against Azikiwe. They helped IBB/Abacha against MKO. They misled GEJ against North and West. All in quick succession. table turned. They started shouting again as they did in 1966. well The Federal Government of Nigeria will continue to teach haters sense. dare your master to hold a rally or go to a radio show the way he used before he was arrested. keep sulking and mocking why Nigeria keeps moving forward the way it has when this madness started in 1966.

Some are born to rule. Some are born to hate those who rule. until the hating stops and the leadership mentality is ingrained the IPOBS will always remain haters nothing more. And they will be kept in Nigeria as long as the likes of Ekwrremadu desire.

By Dr. Osuji http://chatafrik.com/articles/nigerian-affairs/item/321-why-do-igbos-always-go-looking-for-trouble?.html
There is something in the psychological makeup of Igbos that makes them always go looking for trouble. In the calmest of circumstances they will always do something that would annoy those around them, create conflict and then live in conflict; they seem to enjoy living in conflicts.
As it were, they seem to have death wish and do things that would make those around them to attack them, and or kill them hence gratify their death wish (thanatos).
Consider their relationship with their neighbors. Invariably they would say or do something that even a child knows would irritate those neighbors and do it as if they do not know that such actions irritate people. Consider Obi Nwankanma’s concocted historiography. The man is apparently writing a history of Igbos (as gleaned from the snippets of it that he posts on the Internet). Invariably, he would make claims to the effect that Igbos stimulated what their neighbors did or he would make Igbos have credit for what other Nigerian tribes did. And he would make these self-serving bogus claims as if they are true. He is, of course, lying but presents his lies as if they are substantiated truths! The man writes history as propaganda!
Taking credit for what other tribes did diminish those tribes self-respect; they feel attacked and angry at him and by generalization at all Igbos. Thus, the man’s private behavior has negative public consequences for most Igbos, for other Nigerians who feel insulted by him (in a country where folks indulge in stereotyping behaviors, by all Igbos) attack any Igbo in sight.
And this misguided man is not the only one doing what he does; many Igbos do it. Consider their unreasoning response to Frederick Lugard and his British cohorts. Britons created what is now called Nigeria in 1914. Igbos who hitherto did not have a nation were for the first time placed under one istrative unit hence given a sense of being one people. But instead of being grateful to Lugard for hastening their sense of oneness some foolish Igbos call Nigeria Lugard’s cage; that is to say that they feel caged in a place they would rather not be in.
They flock to other parts of that Lugard’s cage to seek employment! The Yorubas allowed them to come to Lagos, a Yoruba city. Now many of them live at Lagos. Instead of expressing gratitude to their Yoruba hosts some of them now claim that Lagos is an Igbo city! Imagine that cheek!
Yorubas could feel insulted by squatters claiming ownership of their land and attack and kill a few of them and the rest of them would carry their loads on their sorry heads and march to the East. They would not even have the courage to stand and fight to death. When the going gets tough they always run to their tribal enclave.
These people routinely insult Hausas and Hausas, not being as patient as Yorubas are, often pick up their machetes and start slashing at any Igbo in sight.
These people literally ask other people to attack them and when attacked they turn around and see themselves as victims. Alas, the rest of the world does not come to their rescue!
The white man could care less if Africans murdered other Africans, if in doubt see the Sudan, Somalia and East Congo where Africans, as we speak, are butchering each other and the International community give them all the opportunity they need to get rid of themselves from the face of this earth (and leave the damn continent for animals so that white men come on wild life safaris in it).
If other Nigerians start murdering Igbos no African Union or United Nations would come to their rescue and even if they did they would send African soldiers, who are likely to be Muslims and hence participate in killing Igbos some more!
These people are not aware of the real world they live in and talk as if they are invulnerable supermen when in fact they are the most vulnerable group of Nigerians (other Nigerians hate their arrogance and could easily gang up on them and do away with them).
So why do Igbos do these crazy things when they could have peaceful relationship with their neighbors? Why do they go looking for trouble (as Fela Kuti said, trouble de sleep” iyanga” de look for am)?
Fela recognized that pride (iyanga)causes interpersonal troubles; Igbos are” inordinately proud” and out of their pride insult other folks and those folks also being “normally proud” human beings (all human beings feel proud, in degrees; the neurotic, aka narcissistic and or paranoid personality feels inordinately proud)feel degraded and attack them.
Fela was an insightful musician, not trained psychologist. There is a more psychological process at work in these people’s apparent irrational behavior. They do what they do because of their inordinate sense of inferiority.
Feeling totally inferior and wanting to seem fictionally superior to other persons they make claims that would seem to make them seem superior to other people. Those absurd claims naturally make those they belittle angry, and those attack them.
INFERIORITY FEELING
I am saying that Igbos go looking for trouble because of their sense of inferiority and paranoid level of compensatory superiority (according to Alfred Adler, all human beings feel inferior and compensate with some superiority feeling and quest for power over their world, but the neurotic over does it).
DEATH WISH (OR FREUD’S THANATOS)
It is as if these people have a death wish and must attack other people so as to generate other people’s counter attacks on them, and when attacked they feel persecuted hence feel alive. The pathological ego feels alive when persecuted!
The paranoid person feels alive when he feels attacked and is defensive; if not feeling attacked and persecuted and defensive he does not feel like he is alive!
The paranoid person has not yet learned that a person can feel even more alive by loving himself and those around him. If you want to truly feel alive do what loves other people and what serves people’s interests.
The alternative to Christian agape love for all people is the paranoid attacks on people that generate counter attack for him and he gets attacked and in defending his self feels falsely alive.
For the longest time I could not quite understand this oddity in many Igbos behavior. Finally, I understood it. They engage in their apparent self-defeating behaviors because of mental disorder. They suffer mass delusion disorder (follies adieu, aka group paranoia).
The deluded person takes his private interpretation of reality as reality. He wants to seem superior and powerful, which he is not; he imagines that he is superior and powerful; believes what is not true as true hence is deluded.
The mentally ill person is not operating in the real world; he is living in his personal world, his fantasy world where he is all powerful and invincible.
The sadist part of it all is that even if you understand the dynamics of what is going on in the deluded person’s head and tell him about it he does not get it and continues doing what he does that gives him certain results and continues to get the same results while expecting different results.
Igbos insult other people, make them angry; they get attacked and or killed. They do not want to be attacked and killed; that is, they want different results but they keep doing what generates the old results and get it. This is the definition of mental disorder: doing the same thing while expecting different results. An alcoholic keeps drinking but does not expect to damage his liver and health; poor soul; as long as he is addicted to his drug of choice he must be slowly damaging his liver, brains and killing himself even though he wishes to be healthy and live.
I know that these people are not going to change for part of mental disorder is not to see what is obvious to the normal person. The normal person, as if instinctively, recognizes that if you insult folks that they would be angry at you and that some of them would attack you, but these bizarre folks keep attacking others (by insulting them) and not expecting them to counter attack them in self-defense.
They do not know what they are doing and one is wasting one’s time trying to get them to recognize the obvious.
I suppose this is my mission: to keep stating the obvious until those who wear blinders finally remove their veil and see it; remove the mask over their eyes and see reality as it is. I will never give up on them after all they are my people, and attacks on them, even if self-brought, are attack on me (when folks begin attacking or killing Igbos they will attack or kill me, too). The sins of fathers are visited on their children’s heads. Therefore, I must keep trying to help them smell the coffee and roses.
A FINAL WORD ON OBI NWANKAMA’S PRETENSIONS
Obi Nwankanma, apparently, is writing history, make belief history of Igbos. He has been talking smack about Nri as core Igbos (obviously a self-serving claim). His idiotic talk is irritating me. One of these days I would unleash my fury at him. I generally allow annoying things to simmer for a while and when I become sufficiently angry I unleash a ferocious attack and will keep attacking and nothing would stop me. By and by I will take Obi Nwakanma up and attack to destroy his pretensions.
These clowns write 419 histories that make their people the head of Igbos while ignoring the obvious, that the core of Alaigbo is Owerri. When I have some time I will do rigorous research on Igbo history and then refute their make believe history (I just read Elizabeth Isichie‘s version of Igbo history; she is not pretentious and haughty; she honestly believed what she wrote; she is a scholar, not a propagandist pretending to be a scholar).
For now let me just say that it is irritating to one to see those who are not even fully Igbos to keep talking as if they are real Igbos and worse present themselves as the leaders of Igbos (they were influenced by surrounding non-Igbo folks; the real Igbos are in core Igbo land, in the Igbo heartland, Owerri/Orlu axis. (Owerri must eventually become the capital of one unified Alaigbo state in Nigeria or Alaigbo republic should Nigeria breakup).
The time allotted to foreigners, such as Onicha/Edo folk, rule over Igbos is over.
Most history books are written as songs of praises to the people they are written about hence are hardly objective. That been said, if one is writing a history of one’s entire people one ought to make an honest attempt to be fairly objective rather than write claptrap that sings the praises of one section of the people. Just imagine it: everyone knows that Owerri is the core Igbo but clowns from non-Owerri area pretend to write Igbo history and not give central place to Owerri.
Even the much maligned white colonial folk recognized that Owerri is core Igbo hence made Owerri dialect the central Igbo dialect in their books on Igbo language. But buffoons from non-Owerri area write as if their peripheral areas are central to Igbo history and in their idiocy expect Owerri folks to accept their nonsense. Why, it is supposed to be Igbo history and every Igbo ought to accept it even if it is a bunch of lies.
When I am free to pay attention to history I will descend on these clowns like a ton of hot coal. Their contrived, 419 scam history of Igbos cannot be allowed to stand.

A 40 feet container load of trash..

Feeling totally inferior and wanting to seem fictionally superior to other persons they make claims that would seem to make them seem superior to other people. Those absurd claims naturally make those they belittle angry, and those attack them.
INFERIORITY FEELING
I am saying that Igbos go looking for trouble because of their sense of inferiority and paranoid level of compensatory superiority (according to Alfred Adler, all human beings feel inferior and compensate with some superiority feeling and quest for power over their world, but the neurotic over does it).
DEATH WISH (OR FREUD’S THANATOS)
It is as if these people have a death wish and must attack other people so as to generate other people’s counter attacks on them, and when attacked they feel persecuted hence feel alive. The pathological ego feels alive when persecuted!
The paranoid person feels alive when he feels attacked and is defensive; if not feeling attacked and persecuted and defensive he does not feel like he is alive!
The paranoid person has not yet learned that a person can feel even more alive by loving himself and those around him. If you want to truly feel alive do what loves other people and what serves people’s interests.
The alternative to Christian agape love for all people is the paranoid attacks on people that generate counter attack for him and he gets attacked and in defending his self feels falsely alive.
For the longest time I could not quite understand this oddity in many Igbos behavior. Finally, I understood it. They engage in their apparent self-defeating behaviors because of mental disorder. They suffer mass delusion disorder (follies adieu, aka group paranoia).
The deluded person takes his private interpretation of reality as reality. He wants to seem superior and powerful, which he is not; he imagines that he is superior and powerful; believes what is not true as true hence is deluded.
The mentally ill person is not operating in the real world; he is living in his personal world, his fantasy world where he is all powerful and invincible.
The sadist part of it all is that even if you understand the dynamics of what is going on in the deluded person’s head and tell him about it he does not get it and continues doing what he does that gives him certain results and continues to get the same results while expecting different results.
Igbos insult other people, make them angry; they get attacked and or killed. They do not want to be attacked and killed; that is, they want different results but they keep doing what generates the old results and get it. This is the definition of mental disorder: doing the same thing while expecting different results. An alcoholic keeps drinking but does not expect to damage his liver and health; poor soul; as long as he is addicted to his drug of choice he must be slowly damaging his liver, brains and killing himself even though he wishes to be healthy and live.
I know that these people are not going to change for part of mental disorder is not to see what is obvious to the normal person. The normal person, as if instinctively, recognizes that if you insult folks that they would be angry at you and that some of them would attack you, but these bizarre folks keep attacking others (by insulting them) and not expecting them to counter attack them in self-defense.
They do not know what they are doing and one is wasting one’s time trying to get them to recognize the obvious.
I suppose this is my mission: to keep stating the obvious until those who wear blinders finally remove their veil and see it; remove the mask over their eyes and see reality as it is. I will never give up on them after all they are my people, and attacks on them, even if self-brought, are attack on me (when folks begin attacking or killing Igbos they will attack or kill me, too). The sins of fathers are visited on their children’s heads. Therefore, I must keep trying to help them smell the coffee and roses.
A FINAL WORD ON OBI NWANKAMA’S PRETENSIONS
Obi Nwankanma, apparently, is writing history, make belief history of Igbos. He has been talking smack about Nri as core Igbos (obviously a self-serving claim). His idiotic talk is irritating me. One of these days I would unleash my fury at him. I generally allow annoying things to simmer for a while and when I become sufficiently angry I unleash a ferocious attack and will keep attacking and nothing would stop me. By and by I will take Obi Nwakanma up and attack to destroy his pretensions.
These clowns write 419 histories that make their people the head of Igbos while ignoring the obvious, that the core of Alaigbo is Owerri. When I have some time I will do rigorous research on Igbo history and then refute their make believe history (I just read Elizabeth Isichie‘s version of Igbo history; she is not pretentious and haughty; she honestly believed what she wrote; she is a scholar, not a propagandist pretending to be a scholar).
For now let me just say that it is irritating to one to see those who are not even fully Igbos to keep talking as if they are real Igbos and worse present themselves as the leaders of Igbos (they were influenced by surrounding non-Igbo folks; the real Igbos are in core Igbo land, in the Igbo heartland, Owerri/Orlu axis. (Owerri must eventually become the capital of one unified Alaigbo state in Nigeria or Alaigbo republic should Nigeria breakup).
The time allotted to foreigners, such as Onicha/Edo folk, rule over Igbos is over.
Most history books are written as songs of praises to the people they are written about hence are hardly objective. That been said, if one is writing a history of one’s entire people one ought to make an honest attempt to be fairly objective rather than write claptrap that sings the praises of one section of the people. Just imagine it: everyone knows that Owerri is the core Igbo but clowns from non-Owerri area pretend to write Igbo history and not give central place to Owerri.
Even the much maligned white colonial folk recognized that Owerri is core Igbo hence made Owerri dialect the central Igbo dialect in their books on Igbo language. But buffoons from non-Owerri area write as if their peripheral areas are central to Igbo history and in their idiocy expect Owerri folks to accept their nonsense. Why, it is supposed to be Igbo history and every Igbo ought to accept it even if it is a bunch of lies.
When I am free to pay attention to history I will descend on these clowns like a ton of hot coal. Their contrived, 419 scam history of Igbos cannot be allowed to stand.

hmm
this is so Tribalistic and filled with Hate.
I hope my pple will retaliate hard
