I don't think people label their posts with tribal Identifications, that's why we go by our utterances.

You will be suprised to find out that he may be niger deltan and not igbo.Be sure before you post.

Don't you think he's free to clarify that?,

You should have waited for him to make more comments to be sure where he is from instead of jumping into conclusion that he is igbo and posted that article while he maybe from somewhere else.

@ asha,


Like I said, don't you think he's free to clarify that? I really don't get this panadol taking for other people's headache deal.

And what difference does it make anyways? My response was justified based on what he posted so what's your point really?

@asha 80.
I read where someone said that the Yoruba sees anyone from after Ore as Igbo and I'm inclined to believe it. Even in the North, anyone from the South without tribal marks are simply classified as Igbo. Wrong or right, that's just Naija for you. In one of the Kano riots, some Edo people where going about their normal businesses claiming not to be Igbo (when the Almajiri was busy seeking out Igbos to kill as usual). What happened was interesting. The first group of casualties were Edo folks who were going about simply saying "I no be Ibo". The Hausa mob was also simply plucking their heads off with sharp swords and butcher knives. Meanwhile the real Igbo were carefully observing these from safe groupings around Sabon Geri. When the Hausa had done killing the Edo people, the Igbo had organised; armed with guns, they started killing Hausas and chased them into the Old Kano (walled city).
That was the first time the Igbo fought back decisively in Kano. That was in 1992.
So back to the "Are MEND Igbos or are Igbos MEND?" The lines are quickly blurring these days. I won't be surprised if we wake up tomorrow to discover that Igbos have become MEND!

roflmao!!! Look at the reasoning of human beings who are supposed to be crying out for things to get better in one way or another. Kai!!!

talk about an infinite loop of loopy-ness!!! Ignorance begetting more of the same!!! roflmao!!

MEND means business

it's a pity our 'leaders' still don't see that as a fact. i guess they will have a rude awakening
when they suddenly realize there is no more loot (oil) money to share

Now who is to blame for the lives lost in this?

The bloodthirsty MEND or their spokesman/sponsor

I was not an active poster on NL when this thread came up in 2009, just a ghost reader then.

It's amazing to read all the usual politics posters on this thread and compare their rhetoric during this election period to their sentiments on here. I must say a lot of folks have been pretty consistent with their sentiments.

What a thread.
