I saw someone talk about Awolowo house. I know one mad igbo boy , under 30 will buy it and demolish it or turn it into his boys quarters.

Please my brothers, invest in Dubai if you can, invest in US too , forget Nigerian real estate. The devaluation of naira has robbed it of value

....but why are Yorubas so scared of Igbo tribes and sub tribes being united but they will be the first to hang on to their conquered brothers in Northern Fulani territories of Kwara and Kogi states.However,whether the Ikwerres are Igbos or not,what difference does it make.Who cares!
Tomorrow,bring an Ikwerre man for presidency,they will now tell you that they can not vote an omo igbo.During riots,if they come across an Ikwerre man's property in Lagos,it will be targeted and burnt down and they will put up an owambe that they finally rendered that 'stupid' omo igbo homeless.
Last last we go dey alright for Nigeria.

It is the same insecurity that will make sense in 20 years time when Lagos start reaping the xenophobic seeds they're sowing today

he said he is an igbo man , and he is in the Ikwerre group that claim igbo ancestry , what exactly do people want him to say again, this applies to the Ngwa, Owerri , Nnewi, Obosi , Asaba etc .

The way Ohafia dresses and speaks is different from the way an Mbaise or Orlu or Wawa or Ezza or Obosi or Ikwerre dresses. lets be fair to the Ikwerre people, they took so much igbophobia during the war from Nigerian demons, they would have been massacred like the Asaba people by Agents of devil

Akwa Ibom should not become another Benue, Cross River , Ebonyi or Imo , a stitch in time will save tears

what becomes of Akwa Ibom if this man drags Akwa Ibom into APC can only be imagined , Akwa Ibom , the privilege you go through fasting is about to be lost through carelessness on an individual. The Governor should at least see the big picture

UYO – In a dramatic turn of events during a town hall meeting in Ikot Abasi, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State announced his intention to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC)—but was met with resounding opposition from the crowd.




“We’re progressively moving forward, linking Akwa Ibom to the center. And I know you’re going with us. Are you going with us, so we can connect to the center?” Eno asked.

However, in response to the governor’s call, a thunderous “No!” erupted from the audience, overshadowing the handful of “Yes” voices, creating a tense atmosphere in the crowded venue at the Ikot Abasi Local Government Grounds.

Despite the pushback, Governor Eno continued to make the case for defection, citing the need for Akwa Ibom to “belong and be counted” in national politics, and to President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“We thank you for your . I’ve gone round to consult… And so we have done enough consultation. The time has come that we will move. And we will go to where God is leading us,” the governor said.

“Do not be afraid. Believe in us. Believe in President Bola Tinubu because the future is bright. We are already a minority state in Nigeria. If we come again and start breaking ourselves into pieces, we become minority of the minorities and cannot get anything.”

He emphasized the importance of unity across party lines and declared that Tinubu, Akpabio, and himself must return to office in 2027.


Governor Eno’s comments mark a significant political shift in Akwa Ibom State and have sparked heated reactions, suggesting the road to realignment may not be as smooth as anticipated.

I saw the Sudan situation play out in Nigeria, God help Nigeria.

How an unimportant thing like this got to 5 pages is just incredible. Wether Amaechi is Japanese pr French is not going to add any value to anyone

The Igbo nation already has more than enough population than it needs

Trust me , this will trend for sometime.

Anything to trigger igbo disunity or igbo denial will sell like a hot cake in Nigeria , someone once said that if you want to get sympathy from certain sections of the country , you have to exhibit enough anti igbo sentiment and rhetorics to get recognition from APC and certain parts of the country , Reno Omokiri is using this, Nyesom Wike is using this , sunday Oliseh once used this and it failed , i am not sure Sabinus tried it

This was a quote from John Nwodo in 2017 can someone provide more insight into this

The Head of the Political Division of the American Embassy, Abuja once said that Ndigbo constitute the largest block of highly educated black population in the United States and that they are all in significant professional occupations. He stated that if Ndigbo in America save 40% of their earnings, it would be more than half of the total annual oil revenue of Nigeria. As an economist, I know that at this point in our quest for development, it is paramount to change the Igbo psyche from our propensity for heavy investments primarily in real estate to setting up industries and factories with the potentials for wealth creation. Such production units will offer jobs and incomes to our youths and grow the Igbo economy. The factories I must point out should of course be sited in Igbo land and not elsewhere. My people, this is not rocket science as we have done it before. We built the second cement factory in Nigeria – NIGERCEM, Nkalagu; the second brewery in Nigeria – the Golden Guinea Breweries in Umuahia; first Building material Industry in Nigeria – Turners Asbestos and Iron and Steel plants in Emene; the Port Harcourt MICHELIN Tyres and legally speaking, the first indigenous university in Nigeria, UNN. During this time, the World Bank recognized South Eastern Nigeria as the fastest growing economy in Africa. We can do it again.

I am really Afraid for Amaechi , he could have used to oji uzo method , lets see how far he will go. Nigeria really has an igbo complex.

What really is the problem with Benue. It is ruled by a catholic priest, it is governed by APC, the SGF and other prominent people are from Benue and yet Benue has no peace.

Get someone who understands Hausa to translate for you.
What the bandit in the video said is " Soldiers from Enugu or Port Harcourt has never been brought here to kill our brothers to make you happy "

Thank you for this clarification.

What if Finland releases Simon Ekpa based on this video. It seems the Nigerian military and police are actually the problem and not Ekpa

Ask them for a basic economic forecast — just a simple, coherent outlook — and suddenly it’s like lighting a match in a madhouse. What you get instead is a cacophony of clueless babble, pitifully incoherent noise, and a parade of excuses so ridiculous they’d make a toddler’s tantrum sound like a TED Talk. It’s not just incompetence — it’s an unholy symphony of intellectual laziness, cowardice, and unforgivable failure to do the bare minimum.

They should find a way to compensate Obi so that you don't have another 2023 situation

Everything under APC-led government is always running into hitches. From ordinary examination to cng infrastructure roll out. Somethings are not adding up

I have been wondering about the role drones will play in future warfare , for reconnaissance, attack and defense . If Biafra had this technology, my bet is that starvation would not have decided or forced them into a questionable early surrender.

Whiteshield:


All these defeated people sef

Defeated by who? Get serious. Before you start parroting the victors’ narrative, go find the book “The Last Flight.” Read it—not skim it—and you’ll understand why Biafra surrendered. It wasn’t defeat. It was mercy. It was restraint. Biafra laid down arms to stop the systematic starvation of its women and children, not because they were conquered, but because they chose humanity over prolonged slaughter.

Still in doubt? Then read what the Biafran military did to the Nigerian army in Owerri, 1969. That wasn’t war anymore—that was a meticulously engineered massacre. The Nigerian military’s Operation OAU came in with 33,000 troops and swagger. Less than 1,000 limped away—broken, battered, and traumatized.

Owerri didn’t fall. It consumed. It devoured. It turned battalions into carcasses and generals into ghosts. It was no longer a battlefield—it was a slow, grinding, meat-mangling furnace, and Biafran soldiers were its fire.

So no, Biafra wasn’t defeated. Biafra surrendered to stop the dying of children, while its enemies were still bleeding out from a war they thought they had already won. There’s a difference.

DomPerignon:



You lost woefully

Lost woefully? That’s putting it politely. Go dig up what really happened when the Biafran military faced off against Nigeria’s vaunted 2nd Division—composed largely of Yoruba soldiers. This wasn’t just a military engagement; it was a masterclass in strategic annihilation.

From the first disastrous attempt to storm through Asaba—where bodies littered the riverbanks like broken promises—to the humiliating second push through Kogi, every advance was met with calculated fury. And then came Abagana—the graveyard. The third and final insult. The entire division was obliterated in a firestorm of ambush brilliance. Trucks, tanks, men—scorched into oblivion.

The General Officer Commanding? He didn’t just retreat—he vanished. Emergency exit. He never returned to the front. The war would end, but the shame of that collapse would live on in whispers and nightmares.

Call it bullying in excellence. Call it asymmetric genius. Just don’t ever call it a fair fight. Biafra didn’t just resist—they humiliated the 2nd Division

Even the so-called Quick Kill Policy they once arrogantly crafted to crush the Biafran resistance—before Biafra taught the Nigerian 3rd marine military division a bitter lesson in humiliation and defeat on the blood-soaked streets of Owerri in the recapture of owerri—has now been discarded like a failed gamble.

Surprisingly the Environmental impact assessment criers of yesteryear are suddenly mute.

My suggestion is that the Calabar route should extend to cross river north city of Obudu, then to Ebonyi, get into Benue state where it can the highway leading to Abuja . So that the Agricultural potentials in cross river, Ebonyi, Benue and Nassarawa can keep the route busy all year long

Also I would like to add that a brand New Umuahia capital city is in the works. They will release to new city plan. It will double the current size of Umuahia with more modern infrastructure.

. i believe the brand New city , a smart city willl be a good idea , but i dont know if it should be towards Ubakala side or Uzuakoli side or ikwuano side or okigwe side , the umudike side is choked but still nice

Otti is close to Tinubu more than we would like to it. It doesn’t mean he is not loyal to LP but he has the ears of the president. I agree with your suggestion though.

Let’s flip the script. Imagine Peter Obi is President of Nigeria, and Lagos is governed by Fashola, Tinubu, or Sanwo-Olu. Now ask yourself—would a sitting President Peter Obi be invited to commission a culvert in Lagos?

it seems Isiala Ngwa is the New Umuahia, the surprising thing is how this big project is being executed very quietly .

please dont give the president such to commission rather give him the Port Harcourt Road to commission , let someone like Ebitu Ukiwe commission this or any of the elder statesmen like Kalu idika kalu , ABC Nwosu etc so that someone will not come and claim this glory in future as his achievements

please while we encourage these men , i suggest we dont celebrate them first , lets have very high leadership expectations and criteria for the South East

The fear of Biafra remains—undeniably—the beginning of wisdom for Nigeria.

As the 2027 elections approach, prepare for a flood of calculated lies—engineered by desperate political vultures who thrive on division and deceit. This isn’t mere propaganda—it’s an orchestrated assault on truth, designed to twist history, distort facts, and weaponize ignorance to manipulate the masses. They will spew toxic narratives, recycle debunked falsehoods, and bait Nigerians into tribal distrust—because that’s all they have left: fear, hate, and chaos. These are not patriots—they are cowards terrified of a nation waking up.

Now, despite General Ibrahim Babangida’s crystal-clear clarification that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo conspiracy, these serial fabricators still cling to myths like a drowning man to a straw. And what do they offer in rebuttal? A cherry-picked, unverifiable claim from Richard Akinjide—an individual whose role in Nigerian history is at best controversial and whose credibility does not eclipse that of firsthand actors or authoritative voices.

So let’s ask the obvious: Who exactly is Richard Akinjide, and since when did his opinion override the lived testimonies of generals, presidents, and verified historical s? This isn’t scholarship—it’s selective delusion pushed by tribalist peddlers of hate who fear national unity because it dismantles their power.

Don't be misled. Truth is not built on noise or nostalgia—it is built on evidence, integrity, and the courage to confront lies no matter how loud they scream.

The SE governors should setup a regional power grid. That's the first step.

Then they should setup standard-guage railway lines that will link all the states in the region. This can be financed by general contributions from each state. The railway will link to Onne Port. The Enugu state governor has already proposed this.

I love what's happening in the SE. There's a quiet revolution ongoing
