OsunAmazon:


Will Yaradua do the same if this man is Hausa or Fulani?

But what is a man that was Governor of western state in 1971 still doing in politics in 2009 that is almost 37 years ago. By now the man will almost be senile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard that those yoruba women sitting and selling in the market place also defecate in those containers they are sitting on and could be selling you things at the same time.

I heard that they are very dirty also.

I heard they borrow money to do all that owa mbe

that Yorubas are unreliable.

that they are all mouth and no action,remember Jegede Shokoya of masquerade

that Hausas are very truthful and trustworthy

that Igbos would kill for money

all 419ers are Igbos

that bini girls are mainly prostitutes
bini men are armed robbers

that Ijaws are whiners and complainers

calabar people are the best cooks
calabar girls are the best wives



these are just stereotypes,I'm sure it's not true,there are good and bad in every tribe.
But Yinka wanted to hear stereotypes,there you go.

If you have tribal marks,deal with it or set up funds for plastic surgery like some have done or better yet, sue your parents like some poster planned on doing.

Becomrrich:

Osisi, if awo is a tribalist, then you do not understand politics. Ask Obama , when he was senator, was is view on the floor of the USA senate not for the progress of his state. This is what senators do. And that was what awo did. Have you heard of the famour chicago politics.

And you can not link awo to any killing of igbos. If you can the internet is open. Post it or shut up.

the same Ojo maduekwe who called igbo's quest for presidency 'idiotic' As per the Rtd Gen, it tells you the mindset of those running Nigeria. One Nigeria! Amen

Arnold1:


osisi is just angry at the yoruba race because they did not fall through their earlier commitment with igbos before the civil war. She
blames the whole ordeal of the igbos during the civil war on the entire yoruba people.

Gowon that was the head of state at the time, she completely absolves him, it is awo that she spends her whole life
battering.

People can see right through her anyway.

They thought they saw tribal marks because they know how obsessed you are with yoruba tribal marks. They know
how you spend your life dwelling on it even though other Nigerians have tribal marks

when it happens in lagos-'fashola must be related to hausas' your words
when it happens in benue, 'the muslims will kill us all'
but when it happens in nnaland, its touts.
_{(who would have thought -those wonderful, industrious ibos have touts.one would think that its only other tribes that have malcontents-almajiris, area boys.thank you for clearing that up.}


'the igbos who convert to islam are mostly 419ers'
wonder wonder wonder!shame on you!what nonsense!

where did you get this latest tidbit from? your warped , tribalist secterrian mind?

perhaps the ibos selling fake drugs in onitsha, smuggling cocaine, and selling fake goods are also 'converted muslims'
back in the days of night browsing , your tribesmen would gather (at 10 pm in the cyber cafe) and engage in group prayer to jesus for successful business before commencing forwarding their scam mails.

anyway, what would one expect from nairaland's poster child for tribalism, jingoism and sectertianism?


instead of casting aspersions on islam(the only thing you seem to be proficient at) why don't you explain why your tribesmen are behaving like backward, illitearte mediveial scum? perhaps you will need to wear a wrapper when next you travel down to igboland. otherwise, your chivalrous compatriots just might molest you.(after the muslim ones have magaed you out of your dollars )

the world needs less people like you. .

The Samanja at our US mission
With Steve Nwosu ( steve@sunnewsonline.com )
Wednesday, February 18, 2009


I had set out today with a view to x-raying the persona of a certain Gen. Oluwole Rotimi and the Samanja comedy going on at our mission in Washington, the United States, but I have instead decided to let the dead bury themselves, especially when I read of an impending attack on Jos by some Talebans.

I had, instead decided to spare a word for this much violated Tin City, the Plateau State capital, and the peace of the graveyard that seems to exist there at this moment. I thought all was well until when I read of an impending invasion and the mushrooming of all manner of extremists.

Yes, in our desperation to give a religious coloration to what initially seemed a political face-off, we have gone out to tell the world that there was a religious war going on in Jos.

Although the proposal had failed to sell, we have not stopped trying. In the process, we have now given the wrong signal to all manner of enemies of the country who now see an invasion of Jos as the only way to right a wrong that was never really committed.

To them, that wrong can only be righted by the annihilation of the opposite party – in this case, the Christians. They seem to forget that the Ogbomoso people, for instance, who paid a heavy price for the mayhem are both Christians and Muslims, and that any further annihilation of either group would cause them even more

Truth is: If Muslims are annihilated, it does not solve the Jos problem. If Christians are annihilated, the problem would persist. If the Hausa/Fulani are imposed on Jos, Plateau will not know peace. Likewise if the Berom insist on suppressing the Hausa/Fulani, they’d be taking the proverbial ant-infested gay home, and therefore, must be prepared for lizard visitors. It is a complex situation that can never be solved by warring.

There just has to be a middle of the road settlement in all of this. If the council election was rigged, then the tribunals should upturn it. Canceling it at this point would be a rude reminder of June 12. If a minority desires to rule, it must enter into alliance with the majority, or a part of it. No cry of marginalization without a broad-based realignment can ever make a minority leader over the majority.

If the statutes confirm that the governor, and not the president, should set up panel to probe the crisis in a state, then that is what our law says. It is no victory for the governor to gloat about. And it is not a personal loss of the president that must be avenged. It has not diminished the profile of the president – especially a president who had made mistakes in the past and reversed himself.

But I suspect that Yar’Adua has since moved on, while some people who have other vested and selfish interest in Plateau don’t want to let go. They want to, allegedly on behalf of the president, take their pound of flesh – with some blood – from Jang.

Our minds are still fresh with what happened during the Dariye years. We know of how so many interests outside of Jos wanted him out, how the president that should have put his feet down against it suddenly capitulated – because of his own third term ambition, and how Plateau still did not know peace ever after.
We are back on the same track again and we are making the same mistakes all over again.

And that is why, I think, we should revisit the recent comment of, I think it was, the French ambassador to the country who recently warned of the dire consequences of mishandling the aftermath of the recent mayhem that engulfed that otherwise peaceful town.

The envoy was speaking against the backdrop of the impeachment of the Speaker of the state house of assembly and the alleged plot to impeach the governor thereafter.
Of course, Abuja has denied any such plot, but every finger remains pointed in the direction of the president’s men as orchestrating a plot to unseat Jang. Now, the presidency does not always mean Yar’Adua. It could mean a mob of jobbers with affinity to the presidency which commits all manner of abomination in the name of the president.

Of course, that is not to say that Gov Jang should not be kicked out simply because he governor of Plateau. If he commits impeachable offences, he sure should go. What is curious, however, is that all is coming now that the governor is seen as having ‘confronted’ the president on a purely constitutional issue, and is therefore, being made to pay for the effrontery with his office.

But before I digressed off point, I had wanted to commit today’s article to honour the Samanja we posted to the United states to represent our interest in George Bush’s – now Barack Obama’s, country.
I am talking of an ambassador who has suddenly forgotten that he is sub-ordinate to the external affairs minister.

I am talking about an envoy who, weighed down by an overdose of military superiority and junta hangover, has forgotten that the jackboots have since returned to the barracks and that those who must play in the new dispensation must play according to established protocol and democracy dictates
Now, Chief Ojo Maduekwe is not one of those politicians I like a great deal. And it is not just because of his ‘idiotic’ statement in the build up to the 2003 presidential election or the way he comported himself in the politics of his native Abia State.

Like many of his critics, I believe he might not be the most popular politician from his constituency and might not be of huge electoral value on election day.
But unlike many of his critics, I met him for the first time in one law office somewhere inside Western House, Lagos sometime in the early ‘90s. He impressed me with his grasp of issues and command of language, even though there seemed some cockiness about his person. Thankfully, I have only watched him from afar since then.

Coming from his ‘idiotic’ background, therefore, it is almost inconceivable that anybody would want to brand him a tribalist. I could accuse Maduekwe of everything but not tribalism. That was why he could look all of us Igbo in the face and tell us that our quest for Igbo presidency in 2003 was idiotic. So, where was Gen. Oluwole Rotimi coming from? When did Ojo become so Igbo-centric that he would carry it to our foreign mission?

The painful part of the drama at the US mission is that we are yet to hear from the ambassador’s camp. Yes, followers of the developments would quickly contend that we have not heard from the minister either, but the truth remains that much of what we have read so far have been pieces of information woven together by persons with obvious sympathy to the minister. Suffice it so say, however, that the much the ambassador has put down on paper is damning enough.

We always knew that the talk about ‘no victor, no vanquished’ was just a show put up for the rest of the world. The truth remains that many of those who prosecuted the civil war on the side of the federal troops still believe that Igbos have not paid enough for losing the war.

We have always known that the talk of re-integration was only for political correctness. As for reconstruction? I left Zik’s Flat Hostel, UNN in 1991 with the auditorium levelled by federal bombs still standing there as a reminder of the lost war. That was 21 years after the war. And, by the way, if there ever was ‘reconstruction’, the South-east would not today be home to the worst roads in the country and also have the unenviable record of the least federal presence.

With the emergence of a new post-war generation in the South-east, people have tended to forget the past and forge a new beginning and move on with their lives
But we still have the likes of Oluwole scattered all over the place who continue to turn the hand of the clock backwards.

For the eight years that he was in power, Obasanjo continued to deal with the South East as a conquered people who should be contented with whatever little favours that came from the centre.
Confronted about his hatred of the Igbos, the then serving president had jokingly retorted, “they say I no like Igbo, yet Igbo women dey born for me”. Of course, even in my extended family, I have heard stories of women who were either abducted by Hot Nigerian soldiers and made to marry them at gun point, or were simply put in the family way by the soldiers and abandoned with the pregnancies.That is the love the soldiers have always had for Ndigbo.

But we cannot really blame the Generals. Rather, we should blame the system that leaves out thousands of other refined retired officers to throw up the crudest of the pack to lead us.
How, for instance, did a Rotimi end up at a mission as sensitive and important as the US mission? Who knows what else he has said about us before the people he was supposed to be selling our best values to?

What other unprinted and unprin0table things has he said before this oneWhat do the security agencies that get to screen political appointees do? Did they ask the retired officers to take a bow, simply because they are retired Generals? Espirit de corp? Do they get to see medical certificates? Dig into medical history? Did they consider brain power of a man who was adjutant-general 40 years ago to verifywhether there is still anything left there to offer Nigerians?

We have had one mad man rule over us, we have had another head a very important party, we have had some other worm up to the commanding heights of our states, economy, defence and diplomatic services, yet, we spend money rebranding Nigeria - when all what one of the mad men we have in positions of authority needs to do is utter one unguarded statement, and we are back to point-zero.

What brought the rag-tag Biafran army into diplomatic correspondences? Probably a General who won the war did not feel that he should be bossed by a ‘second class’ Biafran whom he defeated on the battlefield.
It is not just enough that the ambassador has been recalled, we need to deconstruct his mind. And after that, we need to reassess this our officer-and-gentleman tag we hang on every retired soldier.

So many leave service angry at the entire society, itching to get back at it, to deal with the rest of us. That is why they retire to their respective communities to continue to foment trouble and run around the place like blood got mixed with their brains.
I feel so pained saying this about retired officers, having myself met so many who are sane and safe to be with.

Personally, I believe that no general who ever really fought a war discusses it with so much gusto. They are usually sobered by war – even when they come out victorious. It is usually the peripheral soldiers who go about boasting about their conquest and heroics. Those who plotted the victory are usually sobered by what they know.

Freewilly:

@ osisi,


My sister if I was you I'll be watching my back every where I go. And please don't ever give out your information to anyone because you are getting a lot of crazy people here really pissed off. I never bother to visit NL anymore, but anytime I come on, it's always osisi this osisi that.


Anyways I hope the fire all the incompetent ass monkeys at the Nigeria embassy, try calling them for visa to Nigeria and see how rude and unprofessional the are.
