so liking a particular brand of car is now a crime?

hiss.

its not even worth it reading some people's posts on here.

geez.

half literate literates. Or educated illiterates. Them full naija.
With the way you are going, you are not far from a nervous break down! If my words bite you, scratch yourself to death! cheesy

How did you come about the conclusion that liking a brand of car is a crime? Do you bother reading inputs at all?

Talk of a proper illiterate, you perfectly solve that conundrum. Get an EDUCATION while there is still time. Just maybe you might prove one wrong that education will set the tone for progress and unity in Nigeria.

shut up!!!!!!!

geez what's the big deal about northerners liking honda?

Is anyone castigating the south for being hooked on toyota?

You're such an illiterate!



if i respond to you again on this thread please call me any name you like! Bloody attention seeker!

If not for deepzone making you feel you're important because you lick her yansh, who are you!!!!
As usual, your recourse to not addressing issues. . . . .

Keep on barking like a deranged dog that you are indeed. If it makes you feel like a woman kindly re-check yourself. I do not see a woman, I see a mad dog on the loose.

Is anyone holding you down for not castigating the south for their proclivity for Toyota? What kind of an educational nuisance are you?

Who came seeking for attention in the first place? I simply made my input you came with your anecdotes directed at me and you are now barking wolf. What a lame idiot you are. wink I am done with you.

Practical nonsense!

I served close to the North, no amount of education or religion can eradicate the nonsense piled up into those nuisances in the north. The same education that has been there over the years, what changes has it made to them? The north are stereotyped into thinking unilaterally. At the least provocation, they are ready to pick their dagger and off they go.

E.g: The most popular car brand of car in the north is the Honda. Even with the vast diversities of cars and knowledge as to how one brand of car differs from another, they are stereotyped into thinking if it is not Honda, they do not have a car yet. With such a stereotype, pray tell me what education or religion in the next ten years can wipe it out of them?

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the highlighted part is the main meat of the above post .The example is just what it is,an example.

My goodness, SEMANTICS is really a problem for this tpia girl.

So stating that an obvious stereotype of the North having a flair for Honda brand of cars as an example is now an abuse?

I will seriously let you be. I automatically assumed there was an inkling of intelligence in you, I am so much wrong. My apologies. embarassed

@onyeogbu
so we are agreed that both hiring thugs and hired assasins and paying almajiris to cause trouble are despicable actions right?
lets forget about the difference between the two,do you agree or disagree that both these actions while they might be different actually serve the politicians purpose same way?

you really think either the south east/west politicians will suddenly give up that easily or the northern politicians?
why do you think the north are so behind educationally from the rest of nigeria if not that their so called imams and politicians have systematically held them down just so they will remain ignorant,and illiterate?
im sure you agree that it is easier to control and brainwash an illiterate and less enlightened individual into doing whatever you want than individuals who are educated and that is the power/hold the politicians have over them,that is why you never see anyone admit either publicly ir privately where the underlying reasons are so divert suspicions
Re: Is The North Xenophobic? by onyengbu1(m): 12:33pm On Dec 06, 2008
@Luca,

I have never disagreed that hiring thugs and assasins are despicable crimes. The only place where we will disagree is that its only politicians that use almajiris and other people that kill during northern riots.

Its possible that politicians might have used them on some riot occassions, we cannot even prove it. But what about the riots that are unconnected with politics like the Koran wiping etc? The fact is that either due to religious or ethnic inclination of the north, these riots are bound to happen.

It is not politicians. Why are politicians down south not using area boys to kill northerners in times of riot.

Just think about it.

i get what your trying to say,incidents like the quran one is isnt political neither are some that are similar to it in nature i.e the woman using the pages of the quran to wipe her baby's bum, i totally agree with you on that one,what i am trying to infer however is that while these incidents might not be political,they are equally not tied to ethnicity, be totally honest here,if a yoruba woman was caught wiping her baby's bum with the pages of the quran or even an hausa woman do you think they wouldnt meet the same end??lets be honest they would,so this is not tribalism but religious fanaticm, im not justifying it but i am just urging us to break everything down and put them in their proper perspectives,

i gave you the example f the english woman who was arrested and put in prion just because she called a simple teddy bear mohammed, its not even that she did,one f the children in the class is called mohammed and she only used his name if not that she was british,she would have met a worse fate thanimprisonment, looking at that what would you say?neither she or these muslims are northerners or nigerians,

politicians in the north are not using area boys to kill northerners because
1.they have a different mindset to their counterparts in the south in the way these things are dealt with, for instance how many northern politicians do you know or read in the papers have been assasinated?you rarely hear of such from them unlike the yorubas,ibo politicians.

2.the hausas in the south east,south west tend not to get involved in politics or going ons in states they have emigrated to,you rarely find an hausa man or woman living outside their "SABO" or even socialising outside there or doing anything whatsoever unlike the ibos and yorubas who tend to spread out,involve themselves in socio political going ons no matter where they are, look at lagos for instance with joe igbokwe who is an ac party chieftain amongst other ibos, even in lagos u hardly find the hausas interacting outside their immidiate environment or "sabo" look at the ones changing money in local airport,they all hang out together,live in same areas e.t.c i was there when i went to nigeria in 2006 and was suprised to see a couple of yoruba and ibo s changing money as well grin

dont get me wrong,im not trying to excuse every single hausa,i agree that there are some hausas/northerners who hate the ibos and get nvolved in all these killings and mayhem because of their hatred towards the ibos and to a lesser extent the yorubas, however what im stressing here is that
1.we shouldnt mix religious fanatism(which isnt just in nigeria )up with tribalism as they are two different issues

2.while there are hausas that hate ibos,same as there are ibos who hate hausas,same as there are yorubas who hate ibos and hausas and vis versa, nairaland is an evidence of that these kind of people are in the tiny minority and we shouldnt use them to define a whole tribe of peace loving people who need understanding and help rather than constant bashing and needless hatred,

we are agreed some people are behind the mayhem,where we disagree is who are they??i believe the politicians and business men have a lot to gain by the mayhem(non release of results,destabilising the state to make it ungovernable for the opponent who won) businness men whose interests are served by these horrible events i also believe that businessmen/politicians are the only set of people who have the financial muscle in that part of nigeria and the logistics to co ordinate thugs from niger/chad,feed and transport them,hide them away ,buy weapons e.t.c
these fact is even the more reason we should not blame the average northerner,because they did not even do this things but the mercenaries "imported"from neighbouring countries

@Luca,
We seem to have been agreeing on some issues lately but I'm afraid its time we disagree.

I just have to disagree that an hausa woman wiping a baby's bum will result in her death and others around her.  They will not kill the hausa woman or other hausa people around her. Its like killing themselves because one of them did the abominable. They wont do that. A yoruba woman  who did the same thing might suffer the same fate as an Igbo person but it all depends on where it happened.



politicians in the north are not using area boys to kill northerners because
1.they have a different mindset to their counterparts in the south in the way these things are dealt with, for instance how many northern politicians do you know or read in the papers have been assasinated?you rarely hear of such from them unlike the yorubas,ibo politicians.

That is not correct again because even though I might not have read in any paper, but there were words of how the former governor of the state I served in the north eliminated his opponent.


2.the hausas in the south east,south west tend not to get involved in politics or going ons in states they have emigrated to,you rarely find an hausa man or woman living outside their "SABO" or even socialising outside there or doing anything whatsoever unlike the ibos and yorubas who tend to spread out,involve themselves in socio political going ons no matter where they are, look at lagos for instance with joe igbokwe who is an ac party chieftain amongst other ibos, even in lagos u hardly find the hausas interacting outside their immidiate environment or "sabo" look at the ones changing money in local airport,they all hang out together,live in same areas e.t.c i was there when i went to nigeria in 2006 and was suprised to see a couple of yoruba and ibo s changing money as well

The hausas even in their home state don't get too involved in the politics. They believe that those people who govern them are good at it. And that's why sometimes you see them practising what I may call 'blind royalty'. They don't get so much into politics even in their home state so, it will be very strange to see them getting involved in other states.

Again, let me say it that I did not totally agree that it is politicians behind these riots. I have cited examples where riots have nothing to do with politics at all.

Even if the politicians are behind it, does that explain why the riots must result to northerners killing southerners (usually more of IGBOS).
Politicians can use thugs to organize a riot in the south but they cannot succeed in using these thugs to kill people en masse.
That is to say that northerners have the urge to kill southerners in them and thats why its easy for their politicians to stir up that urge in them and put it into action.
