I think by my own assessment, I think Yorubas are fair as compared to most Igbopeople who predominantly look like monkeys.

Not only is that obviously not true, but it also shows self hate. . . . .

Re: Fashola Warns Mend by deb(m): 9:37pm On Jul 17, 2009
When Fashola,his Yoruba brothers and their chief conterpart ,the Hausas were busy looting,exploiting,embezling and maginalising the Niger deltans , it was fine , now MEND simply Bombed something that Niger deltan's money was used to build, the Shameless Gov Fashola is on press making useless noise and empty threat .

Mend did a highly commendable job, I advice them to move over here and bomb the Fct, Kano , Kaduna, Jos, Borno and Niger state. they should aslo bomb some other places in the west, lagos is not enough and their last week attack was too small.

May the bombing reach your home in Abuja
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by Fhemmmy: 9:39pm On Jul 17, 2009
I cant blv that someone will encourage the bombing to continue and that the one in Lagos wasn't enuf.
So what is your justification of what is happening and what you encourage?
What do u stand for and what do you fight for, peace ?
If you really wanna bomb and fight, go near aso rock and make a statement by bombing the aso rock.
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by ocelot2006(m): 9:41pm On Jul 17, 2009
@ becoomrich, I don't know where u got ur map from, but Akwa Ibom and cross river are part of the Niger-delta. By the way, after Delta state Akwa-Ibom is the 2nd largest oil producing state in Nigeria.
By the way, I think my fellow brothers and sisters from the Niger-delta could learn a thing or two from these two states. While Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta are in turmoil, everything's quiet in Akwa-Ibom and CRS, and I'm yet to hear of MEND blow up a single exxon-mobile pipeline or the qua-ibeo terminal in Eket. The last time MEND came in, it was the common masses that drove them out. Maybe all these is due to the fact that both states have forward thinking governors who think of providing the basic amenities that makes life abit easy for us. It's no wonder that expatriates tend to migrate to these states as they're safe & easy to reside in.
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by sley4life(m): 9:43pm On Jul 17, 2009
The villa is the right place 2 bomb
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by Fhemmmy: 9:47pm On Jul 17, 2009
That is what i have been telling them since oh, that it takes a coward to be bombing the areas that are armless.
They need to take the fight to aso rock and bomb Yar"adua is they have the balls
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by deb(m): 10:00pm On Jul 17, 2009
Seriously, take your biafran bullshit somewhere else. We have more than enough problems in the Niger-Delta. The last thing we need are fools like you calling for the killing of my fellow Nigerian brothers and sisters (hausa, yoruba, etc). And we definitely don't want to be associated with morons like you and MASSOB. Hey, why don't you take care of your own eastern governors that are busy taking oaths in shrines and looting the coffers of eastern states. And speaking of tribalism here, I will blame you useless biafrans. Maybe if you hadn't carried out the 1st coup in the 60s (killing govt officials 'cos they were hausas or yorubas), you wouldn't have had your collective asses handed over to you in the civil war, and this nation wouldn't have been so divided ion tribal lines. So take your bullshit somewhere else  .

Thank you my brother.
Igbo started the tribal war and have been suffering for it since they started, and up until now they are  still looking for who to blame for their self-imposed woe

MEND/Biafrans/RBG/Bakassi boyz don't need a revolutionary political party as some have suggested because political parties are exactly what they are: "parties".

Political parties are momentary and easy targets for infiltration.

What MEND/Biafrans/RBG/Bakassi boys need is a revolutionary culture which they already have. A revolutionary culture is the embodiment of a self-determined state of beingness. It's a way of life that is sustained by the very reality of the groups existence. It is eternal and indestructible.

Long live the land of the rising sun.

I fail to paint a clear picture of your ulterior motive behind the inclusion of MEND in your Biafran activities! You have no say about anything on western's territory we are all families. Modakeke fought with Ife and South fought with north in USA. Therefore, anybody can fight, but Bleep the other side (anything across that river Niger) in the EAST. We are straight and if you think when your Biafran twice beaten war bursts, you could seek asylum on the western territory; you must be suffering from grandiose of delusion.

Are you talking about Yorubas, the "H" factor people? Have you ever seen a Yoruba person pronounce "HAS"? For those Yorubas it is "AS" Most of them on this forum still write as they use to pronouce many words and the worst of them is that fool that comes here with several handles such as Becomerich, Egwuofor, Tafo4lif, Edwardd and other several handles he opens on daily base.
Yorubas and pronounciation in the same sentence? This fool okokomeji  must be living in lalala land and doesn't have any shame. You should not throw stone into a crowded market. It is a known fact that Yorubas are the worst word pronouncers on the whole nigeria. For those Ogbologbos, RICH is RISH, HOUSE na OUS, SECOND na SECO, CHOP na SHOP?

do Yoruba drop the aitches or do they over emphasize them?

yes im for real!!! and if u need answer the thread speak for itself

all my life in UK, my whole friends are yoruba till date, but i never standby whereever i picture that trait!!

so tubaibabe

me stand to be corect, proof me wrong then i will appologise till then the world is watchin
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hmmm, actions speak louder than words. I checked your 3,300 comments and everything full of slurs and expletives about other tribes (strictly on Yorubas) and you said you got Yorubas’ friends. If you think you are fooling people, you had better not fooled yourself. Then, I quickly inferred that you must be among those out-straight Biafrans who never fully experienced the city life; because they hate Yorubas with passions! Anyway, we have learned to deal with all the haters.
My six Igbo friends revealed me a staggering secret, how they whole-heartedly hate both Hausas and Yorubas. I asked them why they despise us like that, when we had nothing for you people but love. As I’m talking right now, I am still showing love, it’s just what’s it.
They said stories about Biafran war are the most tell-tale stories of all time in Igbo land and they will forever breed the hates for generations to even their unborn children. One of them says Hausa people looted properties and killed their people and I asked why they hate Yorubas, another one says, Yorubas are betrayal. They specifically point fingers at sage Pa Awolowo. They said he reneged on the promise that he was going to help them liberate. They told me for that reason they always killed most Yorubas and Hausas off the street in the east. They even boosted that they never had Yorubas or Hausas friends before and they don’t usually see them on the street like that (because when it’s dawn and Okija needs blood, it’s usually be foreigners for sacrifice). My concern is everywhere you go in Southwest or west generally, you will usually see them in packs. If you Igbos could be one-tenth accommodating like Yorubas that could be nice.
Then, they come in battalion to Lagos and when it’s time to vote; they run back to east or time for cleaning they back off. Now, it’s time to sit Lagos high (Mega status) and if you don’t like it you can just leave. LAMTA’s shibboleth right now is if you can’t clean Lagos up, please leave.
I want to make it clear to all the ibos who are traitors, those who migrate in multitudes to our region to achieve their south western dreams and still talking bad our us at the end of the day. Everything on our soil will ask you anyway.

Stop the bullshits! Let's hear words, where is the light-skinned girl you are talking about? Maybe you are meant to say "Yellow-fever" (hey girl, you dey bleach oo you dey bleach, your face na yellow and your monkey “yanshi or ass” is blacker than charcoal) I heard it's part of Igbo culture for girls to be bleaching? We know your "Yellow fever" if they first moved to Lagos; first by their body odors (caused through sweats missing with bleaching soap) and second by seeing (a lot of Tura soap cases around and Sarina cream tube littered around. Give them three days under the scorching sun of Africa and never rubbed that cream and soap, you shall know through their kneels, elbows and ankles; would be so rough and charcoal.
I don't know, I might be missing something, but I'm black and proud and I'm done f.ucking girl across all races; never seen something better than that black, ebony, chocolate, odorless girl. Believe me buddy!

Re: Fashola Warns Mend by NegroNtns(m): 7:40am On Jul 18, 2009
This forum is a microcosm of the mindset in the society at large. The responses given here by some of the Deltans and some Igbos and some Yorubas serve quite well as an indication or a guage into where and which direction an average member of the respective ethnic groups is leaning on this issue of MEND and the equilibrium of power in the Federal system.

To sample social responses on policies, political scientists use focus groups. They collect people of opposing background and viewpoints and lump them together in a debate. No one has collected us together but invariably we have served as a very important focus group for the issue and hopefully someone is interested and making notes.

The Southerners have been graduating en masse from top ranking colleges while the Northerners were still struggling with a choice between arabic school and western education, and to say that Southerners are marginalised by a people who lag behind them in academic knowledge only goes to prove that in politics you ned more than academic excellence. You need raw strategy and know-how for competing against adversaries. Those who do not have gut for political assertion must be left to the side. Telling Yorubas and Hausas to make room for you on the table and to sponsor your inclusion is stupid. This is like the Hausas telling you to stop sending your children to school so their children can catch up academically, and I'm sure they probably made such demand. . . but did you take your child out of school for them?

Oh. . . the Youbas betrayed us,. . . oh, the Yorubas are not supporting us. . . oh, the Yorubas are colluding with North. . .

NEWSFLASH!!! You are playing victim. As long you keep claiming that Yorubas hold the solution to your destiny, then you are further legitimizing their hold on power and make it less likely that they yield power sharing to you. Explosives and terror is not going to change that. Its your approach and political strategy that will change it. You must learn to eliminate political adversary while securing the underlying relevance that the adversary possess. You have a long way to go.

how then can you deal with the region you have identified as the devil


Inspite of your 'Great Intelligence'
You cannot see that the ant eating the Spinach lives right there on the spinach where your
fellow tribesmen are looting state coffers and taking diabolical oaths in shrines and murdering their own.

Inspite of your 'Great Intelligence'
Its taking you so long to know the Yorubas cannot be trusted
Yet it took the Yorubas a short time to know 'You who cannot trust his brother cannever be trusted'
According to Igbo man saying
if you see an Mbaise man (Igbo man) and a snake, kill the Mbaise man 1st, another igbo man will rather trust the snake than Igbo Man So MUCH FOR TRUST IGBO MAN TO IGBO MAN how much more me stranger

You cannot see that the whole of West Africa if not the whole world is waiting for NO Nigeria and birth of other states.From China to South Africa, to Libya and Italy including MOI all tired of Nigeria

Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 10:24am On Jul 18, 2009
This tread has degenerated into a tribal "roforofo" fight. Please lets return to civil discussions.

Returning to MENDS attack on Atlas Cove, after reading Henry Okah's response to the attack. I now understand that it as a message to Obama on touching Africa's soil, to let him know that all is not well in Nigeria contrary to what Yaradua would have told them at the G8 meeting. A attack on FG facility in Lagos would make world news but an attack in Niger Delta is no longer news. So the attack was not a affront on Yorubas or Lagosians.

If FG facilities could be so easily attacked, then I wonder what work the Director of Military Intelligence is doing.  Because the attack raises serious concern on the security of our National asserts.  And they want to build nuclear power stations.
