LordExecutioner:


Did Dr. Ariyo call for genocide, or was he just in the same state of mind, Franklin Roosevelt was in after pearl harbour, as a prince? And what is wrong in defending the interests of his own people?

Yibhoe naturally like blowing everything out of proportion and that is the primary reason why I have decided to keep rebuking yibhoes till they take wickedness out of their hearts. Yibhoes are wicked.

The doctor never called for genocide of Yibhoes. Those were soundbits from a heated debate the man and a few friends. And he unapologetically declared his support for Oba Akiolu; emphasising why yibhoes need to develop Onitsha before Eko natives have their cup full and start doing what is going on in South Africa. Did he tell a lie, darling? Isn't there a limit to what every human being can take? Where did he call for the killing of yibhoes?
The Japanese attacked the American Naval Base in an act of war, so war was declared. He did not declare a genocide on all Japanese home & abroad, he declared war. Excuse you the Doctor is not the Oba, the doctor made his comments on facebook, the Oba made his comments to the ceremonial Ezes that came for whatever deluded reasons. No one should ever attempt to sway anybody's vote by cursing. You yourself as a self declared Yoruba Prince know how we Nigerians take to curses/oaths/vows, if an Igbo man had said this, you'd be screaming bloody murder.

As a ceremonial head, the Oba should have used his perceived wisdom to state his concerns/opinions without sounding like a headless chicken. If a supporter for a British party had tried that over here, they would have been consequences. With the elections looming closer, swift actions would have been taken to ensure the culprit was punished. Even UKIP (kings of anti-immigration in the UK) will distance themselves quickly, which they've actually done time and time again, when a racist supporter has been publicly called out.

So you can't even attempt to compare the war between two countries, with the staunch tribalism that exists between the people of our own country. The more this tribalism escalates, the more the Igbos in Nigeria will start looking like the Jews in Nazi Germany, if that's what you want, then you've got really dark days ahead of you, honey.

Since you refuse to accept your own irrational hatred, while hiding behind a vail of misguided patriotism to your tribe, I'll leave you be to your vices. Remember hon, when you realise that an oyinbo racist only sees your colour, they sure as hell don't give a damn about your tribe, maybe the more staunch tribal haters might see the light... Again, bye bye LordExecutioner. I'm done derailing this thread as well.

He declared war and b-29 finished it with nuclear bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Would you call it genocide since it was a necessity done by Franklin Roosevelt to protect his land after pearl harbour?

Oba said what is best for his land, a Yoruba enclave, and a place rebellious yibhoes with no ownership were trying to rock the boat. In democracy, there is a reason why foreigners without US passports aren't allowed to voted in the US, even if you are a legal migrant. This is becos the interests of the citizens are the priority. Igbo leaders do the same all the time in Igboland; that is why APC has been labeled a Yoruba party and Rochas is called Mallam Rochas. If yibhoes are like that, why are they against Yoruba wanting the same thing? Or is it a case of double standard, and what is goose for yibhoes being something else for other people? You can't eat ur cake and have it. Yibhoe wickedness again.

BNP did more than that, what happened to them?

An oyinbo sees me the same way I see him but that never stopped an oyinbo in Czech Republic from killing an oyinbo from Serbia over land. It didn't stop an oyinbo from Serbia from killing an Oyinbo from Albania over land. Didn't stop an oyinbo from Britain from hating an Oyinbo from Spain over Gibraltar over land. So what is ur point again?

I have an Osu girlfriend, I don't hate yibhoes.

But yibhoes want to kill me. Mouthpiece of yibhoe xenophobia and genocide: http://radiobiafra.co

ICT~ Information and Communication Technology.

ICT is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning which also includes website management and blogging

ICT has nothing to do with this (that's my field). She is not a Network Engineer, Voice Engineer, Network Analyst, etc etc. The other women though are valid

I don't understand the shade on Linda Ikeji. In 2015,you cannot talk about technology without mentioning media and communication. The use of technology facilitates the avaliabilty of media contents around the world. Social media and blogs are branches of Information technology. Let someone come and write that Mark Zukerberg is a part of it.

it is my fault that I go into r/ship with 'open-heart'. I shouldnt have taken d guy seriously in the first place. We gave him all the support/shield he needed when he joined us from pdp then.

You hardly see him serve his ban completely because we won't let sheun and his mods have peace until he's put free- and he broke our hearts. Do you know why he decamped to pdp? He's short of the qualities u've outlined for him- I mean, he's not that lithified to stand the heat being put towards him. He cries too...this I'm sure of. You can see him struggling to make sense these day cos he's in an incongrous milieu.

How sure are you that he does?

Ever wondered why we as humans, having this very massive capacity to love are so easily given to hate?

I do not seek to vilify him.
Matter of fact, I am an unsolicited social attorney.

I mean, for all we know, he could turn against me tomorrow...
For all we know, he might as well be that double faced political prostitute without any sense of ideals.

For all we know, he might not be.

Y'see, I've learned to offer people forgiveness, even when the world thinks they don't deserve it.
We all need forgiveness....it is fool hardy for one to consider himself better than the other.
All that we are, all that we have, we were given.
For pain inflicted on another (as a vendetta) is pain inflicted on self.

Offer him forgiveness and see how better you become for it.

Nice one, though a good number of these ladies are into Information System management and not really the core IT stuffs. I know all of them are still IT but I don't think any of them is a programmer or network developer or stuffs like that. Bloggers, for example, don't necessarily need to be well vested in core web development stuffs.

I am not surprised, ladies are good with management, be it technical project management or otherwise. Information system management and project management in general are raising dust of recent especially in foreign universities. So, I am proud of our women! But we need them to get in more and more. I am not a feminist but I appreciate ladies.
bro you have spoken like a true ITguy,all this ladies don't know anything about IT only to manage a software and a company owned and develop by someone's, since when Linda ikeji turn IT person what does she know about web.
