alj harem: Look, this is the problem we Igbos have with certain Nigerians. When someone says he is beating you in achievement and working to have you serve him, isn't that what ALL humans have been doing since creation? Why does a possible Igbo domination of Nigeria elicit so much fear and hate? Didn't you people dominate Nigerian politics for much of 50 years? Did any Igbo commit suicide because of that? Why can't you serve me if I pay you? Is my money not solving your problems after you accept it? This is the mindset behind all attacks against Igbo properties in Nigeria. I am a successful professional for instance, and I employ an illiterate northerner as "mai guard" or whatever. Tomorrow the slowpoke will start envying me and start thinking that I cheated him. Where was he when I was focused and acquiring one university degree or the other? Where was he when I was working for years to raise money? Where was he when I planned and started my own business? Igbo man believes in himself. Does he? He suddenly wakes up after I employed him (yes to serve me! ) to find out that Igbo man is dominating him. This is our problem with certain Nigerians (I won't mention tribes now). But be rest assured that we will not let you steal our property again in Nigeria. Just have that in mind. I don't care about anything else you think about Igbo man. |

@ alj harem see u talking about nigeria spliting dont let your blind leaders hear dat,at least not when the oil wells in the niger delta is still flowing.we left our property and ran for our lives before the war but that was then,we know better now,why have the part(biafra) when we can have the whole(nigeria);ever heard of native americans and their adventurous partners(the white),ahaa thats the kind of partnership nigeria signed wit us wen they forced nigeria on us,by the time we are through wit ur lands we wil condem u guys to conservation camps.As for nollywood issue thats a blind arguement but then what would one expect from a blind people wit blind leaders,yes u got it,BLIND ARGUMENT,even the sons of oduduwa got so frustrated that they went and opened an okirika movie industry,Show me whatever industry that works in nigeria and i wil showl u a place an igbo man had made his mark,take it or die in jealousy like ur forefathers did, the wisemen always come from the east. @ only truth nna dalu sor. |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by aljharem(m): 12:39am On Nov 01, 2010 |
vicenzo: sharrp dia SHARRP DIA BOKO so igbos made nigeria to what it is today,, i laff in igbo just keep this thought to urselfves and nairaland and don't let any other person hear, do u know u are ignorant so dangote cement is igbo globacom is igbo mtn is igbo silverbird is igbo oando and other oil companies are igbos lagos is igbo abuja is igbo port harcount is igbo and all the nigerian univerties were made by igbo even nollywood was made by igbos abi, you hear urself sound instead of promoting oneness u are here promoting hw igbos made slaves to us and the yorubas. dumb |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by jason12345: 12:40am On Nov 01, 2010 |
vicenzo: sharrap dia. what did i say, shut the hell up!!! . we are triing to promote unity, you are there shouting igbo supremacy. its people like you that do igbo a GREAT disservice. that what makes other groups in nigeria suspicious of igbos. they think igbos would be come like hitler and other groups would be the jews. you are an ode!!! with talks like that, tell me how can an igbo man be president. even if thats your agenda, you keep your mouth shut until an igbo man is voted for. do you think its only alj harem that reads this other people from various parts of nigeria might have read this too. say rubbish about yorubas forming an orkirika nollywood!!! do you think that sought of statement would create trust. ode!!! oyinara!!! |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by jason12345: 12:48am On Nov 01, 2010 |
vicenzo: you just came here and started chatting shiot. whats wrong with you you get sense . tell me how nigerians can vote for an igbo man with this rubbish you posted online. and if you are asking what my business is, my business is that i want to spear head the campaign of an igbo candidate coming 2015 but you are making to bloody difficult |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by aljharem(m): 1:41am On Nov 01, 2010 |
jason12345:thanks jason, that guy is just saying rubbish so igbos are the best nigeria has, silly really |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by jason12345: 1:46am On Nov 01, 2010 |
alj harem: no problem!!! don't mind him. I consider myself yoruba and i don't think my igbo brothers are like that. the guy is just one nuisance. anyway, pls i want you to answer this questions: 1) why do the northern youths follow their leaders blindly.(no offence) 2) why do they practice religious killings |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by aljharem(m): 1:48am On Nov 01, 2010 |
jason12345: it is only few northerners that pratices that most northerners are peaceful except from the uneducated youths |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by jason12345: 1:50am On Nov 01, 2010 |
alj harem: how is the political situation up north do they support GJ? how do they think of us southerns (yorubas and igbos) |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by Onlytruth(m): 2:00am On Nov 01, 2010 |
vicenzo: I won't support ANY talk of concentration camps because that can never, and should NEVER happen in ANY part of Nigeria. Ndigbo are not a wicked people. Our history is very clear on that. Please tone down this rhetoric. I can understand your anger about Abokis lazy, murderous and perfidious antecedents in Nigeria. We are Nigerians now and will remain Nigerians. But these people must learn to accommodate us (the way we are, not trying to change us to become like them ) because they forced us back into Nigeria. So I tell my Igbo folks to spread their wings and make hay in ANY part of Nigeria. Just remain fearless, strong, hardworking, disciplined and focused. Our continued success is guaranteed. |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by Onlytruth(m): 2:06am On Nov 01, 2010 |
alj harem: This is a deceitful statement. When you say "most" northerners, what is the percentage of educated northerners? If I say most Igbos, chances are that about 80% attended at least a secondary school education. So I can equate "most" Igbos with literate or semi-literate conduct. I cannot do that with northerners because the opposite is the case. So, if most northerners are illiterate, then one can deduce that most northerners are murderers of unarmed women and children. |
Re: Chinua Achebe - What Nigeria Means To Me by EzeUche0(m): 2:08am On Nov 01, 2010 |
Onlytruth: Save your talks of peaceful means for someone else. We must fight fire with fire. If they kill one Igbo, their whole community in the East should be put to the fire. They raze a village, then we will raze an entire city. All is fair in love & war. . . |
