This puts paid to the argument on whether there is scotch or not. You are right, even if I'd is not used in UK, but for the Alastair side of the argument, I don't know. I will be glad if you can prove that it is Alexander in scotch.

barcanista:
only your igbo brothers will beat their chest. Fyi igbos av always been for Any Govt In Power! Yes!!!
NORTH:
You people supported Abacha's life presidency en masse ane even did a million man match for his support.

You people led by Arthur Nzeribe supported the transformation of IBB to life presidency. In fact it was the Igbos that went to court calling for the annulment of a democratic poll in favor of the military IBB.

You people voted again for Yar Adua(of pdp) against your own Ojukwu(of cursed memory) and Kalu in 2007

Yorubas:
You people en masse voted for Obj-an incumbent in 2003 against your villain Ojukwu even in Nnewi and the entire SE.

You people were the champions of 3rd term bid of Obj and your people voted FOR it in the senate.

Ijaw:
You people started yur "luv" for Jonathan the moment SNG led by "Yorubas" Tunde Bakare and Wole Soyinka staged mass protest in Abuja and Lagos. After he became Acting President and later President, you greedy bunch remembered him(as usual).
Ur support for Jonathan is an OLD trick everyone knows. The ibo nation has been "everywhere you go"...you have never been in the opposition.

[size=28pt]FYI: the Ijaws don't take you serious and we don't even recognize anything IGBO in our agenda. When it comes to Ijaw interest ALL Ijaws are ONE. We don't subscribe to divisive politics of the Ibo.

Deal with it

Lamentations of barcanista. Call us whatever you like, it means nothing at all ‘cos we don’t give a fvck what you think. Yes we are “Any Government in power” and will continue to support Jonathan because he is in power and will be in power till 2019......

I hope you will be able to manage high blood pressure till then......
Bros, barcanista is now your Boss now.
