2023: Give Us Presidency, Igbos Want Biafra –S’South Elders

January 20, 2020 6:56 am

The South-South Elders’ Forum has declared that the 2023 presidency should be ceded to the zone to avert crisis.

The Elders said giving 2023 presidency to the north will tear Nigeria apart, as the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure completes North’s two tenures.

Sara Igbe, the National Publicity Secretary of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, said South South has used just one tenure, adding that it is only fair to allow the zone to produce the next president for another four years to complete the zone’s second tenure.

Speaking to NAN, he claimed that South-East was agitating for Biafra

Can Igbos And Yorubas Form An Alliance Against The North?

January 19, 2020 1:40 pm

No doubt these two tribes are the two most industrous tribes (Quote anywhere) in Africa. Yet, maybe thats one of the demerits of being too successful; “Die hard Competition” they dont want to see themselves succeed evidenced in the first republic and the second republic. One group stays top the other go into a frenzy of backstabbing and indefinite opposition politics. So I can generously assume that the both groups are suffering from over prosperity syndrome.

“Power is like a shadow. It resides exactly where men who are under its control think it resides”

The above is true with …

October 21, 2019 1:37 pm

Ekwensu is not satan, lucifer, or devil. Millions of Igbos were in various churches today, and many were busy allegedly destroying ekwensu with their holy ghost fire.

If you’re one of them and you’re reading this, I’m afraid, you’ve wasted your time and energy in what can best be described as an exercise in futility.

Ekwensu is one of the great and popular Igbo deities, in line with the likes of anyanwu, ala and amadioha. Ekwensu is known as a trickster, cunning, aggressive, violent, deal-breaker, crafty at trade negotiations, he’s the God of war and victory who rules and fights …

By Odumodu Gbulagu

They declared NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED yet they call us their slaves and vowed that nothing will make us smell power again.
After the war comes the 3 RRR’s. RECONCILIATION, REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION.
They were abandoned as soon as they were propounded.

The only useful thing that came out of the reconciliation is the founding of NYSC, which has outlived it’s usefulness as Igbo and Southern Youth Corp members are killed in the North at every slightest opportunity.

The war ravaged East was not reconstructed nor rehabilitated.
There were no government presence at all.
We labored and …

The hatred and fear of the Igbos

𝐁𝐲 𝐎𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮 𝐆𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮

It has always been the Igbos

The British didn’t deem it fit to give power to the Igbos because they consider us uppity, and cannot be controlled. Also, because of the leading role Zik played for the Nigerian independence and for African liberation, the Igbo people have not been in the good book of the British government.

The colonialists perceived us as “The ambitious and clever Igbo people ” just because they preferred as their successors those that would continue to depend on them and those they would easily manipulate, a stooge of colonial power. The Hausa/Fulani …
