How do you plan to test the integrity of your census if you plan on relying on people to follow simple instructions?

Pls help me mention other Igbos you know...

NOBLEDANDY:
guy who do you think you are... you can't just come out of nowhere and take the name of Biafra for a ride...

guy you want to use the mightiness of Biafra to achieve your nasty game of getting likes...
you are a chronic idiat from the South West...
reason because that's how they operate...

census of Biafra in nairaland is just laughable...

and I advise everybody from listening to you bc this is dead pn arrival..
I repeat this is dead on arrival...

Mcowubaba:

What's ur opinion ?

Mcowubaba:

Bro, likes, shares or Mentions would not make my life better or increase my life span or Bank account...
I don't have Low self esteem
I created this thread for a purpose which I clearly stated...
If I tell you I am Igbo, you wouldn't believe me..so no need...
Just make ur useful contributions nd move on bro..

jaybee3:


First and foremost, your questions ought to be in Igbo. This will hopefully weed out some of us that aren't igbo and in turn ensure true participation in the exercise

You also have to move away from using like methodology for scoring. You should can either adopt an online poll where votes are restricted to single entries OR encourage people to state their preference in igbo on this thread (tasking but a lot better in ensuring quality of participation)

Mcowubaba:

U have a point.. Then about using Igbo.
1. Some igbos are not very fluent in writing the language

Mcowubaba:


2. I hope you know about google translator, eventhough we type in Igbo, a non-igbo person can easily translate it nd know what we are talking about I clearly stated that the census/poll is for Igbos on 'Nairaland Forum' I don't want to redirect anybody to any site

Mcowubaba:


I know this survey is subject to bias....but I that was the best I could think of !!

ibotic:
I am ibo and from Nnewi.
I am ashamed of my ibo people.
Nigerians should forgive us for our stupidity
We are just sorry because we are jealous of Yorubas
We wish we had an origin, history and culture like them.
We must be less cowardly and brave like Yorubas who plan better.
I say no to Biafra and I know we need Nigeria more than you need us.
Please just allow us to be shouting Biafra of the Internet because we are jobless.
Nairaland is all we have and even that is owned by a Yoruba man who is nice.
We must stop Okija, ritual killings, Osu issue, fraud, fake spare-parts etc
We know without you we cannot survive that is why we run to your land
Our shame and hopelessness in the face of your superiority is terrible.
Even Ijaws are now our bosses and we have been reduced to goats.

Chukwu Abiama o....... Biafra...land of the rising sun.....

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation.
They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.
Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.
The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. [size=14pt]But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.[/size]

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History.[size=14pt]There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.[/size]

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

You should then question their ability to apply judget on the subject matter. Why should anyone with no iota of clue about the Igbo language and/or culture comment on the Biafra struggle?

jaybee3:


The final result will be within an acceptable error margin even with they using google translator. I can’t imagine anyone with no interest whatsoever going through the stress of interpreting stuff just so they can troll

jaybee3:


No point conducting a survey that will almost certainly be skewed to validate a questionable notion

MizMyColi:
I am somewhere in between the three.

I am not interested in Biafra if it means me losing my best friend or facing him with animosity - He is Yoruba.

I am interested in Biafra, but not one that involves mudslinging and undermining the innocent - The Igbo cause is spiritual.

I am interssted in Biafra and Kanu's style because that seems to be the only way to get your message through to some crackheads who think they have monopoly on violence nd insults.
