kingoflag: Onlytruth the mouthy warrior, stop acting like a b***h and stop trying to get the last word in. A girl has already shown you how to think logically, don't be ashamed, swallow ur pride and move on. See now why your wife left you and why your kids won't talk to you anymore? Smh Be a man. Shake your d**k after you pee and stop acting like your perpetually on your period. In the mean time, log off Nairaland and go talk to females, visit friends, go to a bar, find a girlfriend..... GET A LIFE!!! You take this viral world too serious its starting to get worrisome...damn!

PointB:

@Ogugua,
maybe this will help you further, consider us as "Anambra Association in California', not 'Nigerian Association in California'. It's as simple as that.

kingoflag: There's clearly a difference in the thought process of people that were born/raised outside Nigeria, and those that spent their whole lives in Nigeria---ESPECIALLY amongst the supposedly most educated and most industrious group in the world. A lot of you need to just organize a picnic of like minds on the edge of a cliff and sip on chilled "Poison on the rocks" and wait for the effects to kick in, because, if peace is what is needed in Nigeria your like will ALWAYS be an hinderance with your affinity for hate mongering.

alj harem: Imagine Uche, Ola and Musa all living Lagos. Then Ola decides to write to Lagos governor affect all of them from Uche to Musa not knowing that Uche does not care about him and Musa nor for the state but only care about what is going on in the east aka alaigbo.

Logic Mind:

who needs sharia peace?
abeg give me my country
Biafra!, your children are crying out for you.

We will be focusing on changing Igboland for now, while participating in the national scheme of things.

Do you agree that it is not a sin/crime to abstain from joining your protests just as we acknowledge that you have the rights to peaceful protests and demonstration while recognising everyone’s rights?

The question then begs; why did you choose to cheer people on from the safety of Facebook rather than going to the trench yourself?

ogugua88:

I agree with this last bit. I don't know what "The Igbo Cause" is. Nigeria is a mess in its entirety. I don't know how they find time or opportunity to focus on "The Igbo Cause". It's embarrassing that there are people who are still calling themselves Biafrans, who are still fighting for a(n) Biafran/Igbo cause, who can't put their vendettas aside to deal with a much bigger problem. They may think Igbos are the best tribe or have their own agenda, but they still come from Nigeria, one of the most unstable, feared nations not only in the continent, but in the world. Some priorities need to be straightened.

ndu_chucks: You people should take a chill pill, relax, regroup, and learn from your mistakes, instead of shamelessly continuing to defend it. In furtherance of this ya relaxation, please read this, for lack of a better term, Igbo haiku.

CASHLESS ECONOMY

An Ijaw man invited friends for his mother’s burial
after lowering the coffin, they put yam. Rice, meat e.t.c. into the grave.

A Hausa man smiled & said. “According to our tradition, the dead go on a long journey & need all the food items they can get”

The Hausa man dropped, N200,000 inside and said, “When za food finish, buy more”. Not to be outdone, the Yoruba friend dropped N150,000 and said, add this in case Yahaya’s contributions are not enough.

The Igboman, Nwabuzo, smiled and brought out his check book and wrote a cheque of N400,000, drooped it in the coffin & took N350,000 notes change, then said, “Nwanne, withdraw when you reach dia o, its going to be a dangerous journey, we don’t know how many robbers are out there, so its better to go cashless.

Igbo Kwezenu!!!

FACE: Ogugua,

Thanks for being articulate. I do have my reservations concerning some of your points though, but that's down to individual differences, preferences and methodology so I wont argue with your position.

Thanks for acknowledging that your initial post "may have come acrosss the wrong way, but I stand by what I said", but there was nothing positive in that post to "stand by".

It was an unprovoked attack on an organisation you knew nothing about, without first finding out what the organisation was about.

It was an outright onslaught on other people's rights to free association and freedom of choice. It was an attempt to define what other people's priorities should be. I can go on but I will leave it at that.

I will leave you with your statement below; ponder on it and conclude if it has any bearing to answers you have received so far.

ogugua88:

It was out of anger. There are a few members in this group that I truly don't appreciate. I see them more as conspiracy theorists and fear mongerers who spin news to suit their theories. It may have been an attack on the group, but I assumed that the purpose of the leader was to represent this group. If that's not the case, then I apologize.

I've already registered for the newsletter but I'll still be keeping my eyes peeled.

FACE:

Bless you. I should point out that what you call conspiracy theories and fear mongering may not be entirely baseless and might be from personal experiences and facts on the ground. They might just be their reactions to situations they found distasteful, just like you reacted during the occupy period.

I am sure that when you were eager for Nigerians to hit the streets, you went ahead and showed your support regardless of whether area boys and extortionists were also going to join the protests.

I am not saying that you should participate in something, regardless of the characters of your associates or their ideology, but you have to realise that they have the rights to express their fears and convinctions as long as their views and opinions do not set out to disparage others or to preach the hatred of other people. In other words, everyone's rights must stop where the next person's rights start.

1)What cause to pursue-political,social,scientific,economic etc although they are interelated

Gbawe:

My guy, you can say what you want. The entire forum knows I am not an extrovert or 'busy-body' when it comes to the affairs of other ethnic groups. Even you, unless you now want to take to lying shamelessly, will admit I am never ever on these sort of thread for anyone to even be able to remotely label me as wanting to "score cheap points off Igbos[b] as usual[/b]".

Make me an Igbo-hater if you want but the truth bears this out to be a figment of your paranoid mind. I defend my ethnic group but, unlike you and many others in your mould, I always stay on my side of the fence and never attack any ethnic group here on this forum. In fact the reasons I avoid any topic to do with Igbos on NL is because the Igbos here are simply paranoid plus over-sensitive like yourself and only looking to confirm the hatred against them in the writing of every Yoruba person. This is why Afam4eva can say I hate Igbos because I used an i instead of a capital letter when I wrote Igbo. How twisted is that? A typo error is now conclusive proof of bigotry!!!! That was a personal lesson for me that most of you on this forum simply want to forcefully insist every Yoruba person hates you. It became obvious many of you are here to increase e-fighting and enmity with other ethnic group becuase of whatever unresolved issues your are grappling with. To that end, I avoid you all .

That said, I cannot stand needless bullying and that is the only reason I speak here. If you want to keep fooling yourself I speak here for whatever reasons take the fancy of your paranoid delusions ,when the archives show I give you guys and your topics a very wide berth, please be my guest.
