EzeUche_: Makes no sense, right? Exactly what I was thinking. This is an example of why we always score higher than the Yorubas on JAMB. Also, how can Awoloro be Mr.Old Major when he never led a single rebellion, neither did he ever fuel one like our beloved Chief Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu . Yorrubas pls go back to the books. Takia |

EzeUche_: Dude, you dont have to read into the symbolisms "verbatim"! I picked out bits and pieces; of course you know the book wasnt written with Nigeria in mind. As for the Hens being Ibos; 1. Who was the 1st to rebel against the Nigerian State with one of the main reason for agitation being that its resources were being used to feed the rest while they wallowed in penury? 2. Did/Does the rest of Nigeria (i.e the Northerners) put the Ibos in a "choke hold" in other to take what belongs to it? Answer those questions before you start criticizing just for the fuxck of it. . . . . . |

bk.babe97y: Look at this dummy,lol. Who was the first to rebel against the "Nigeria state with one of the main reason for agitation being that its resources were being used to feed the rest while they wallowed in penury"? Is that a real question. Have you not heard of Isaac Adaka Boro and the 12 day Niger Delta Rebellion? This was way before the Biafrans went for secession. Dummy. |

Katsumoto: Hey Kats, how u been? Well, I dont know much about Tinubu except that he's an accused drug dealer who became a political activist then Governor in Nigeria. I used Mr.Awolowo because I equated "Rebellion", in the Nigerian context, with Mr.Awo's economic, social, and educational vision for his people and (further down the road) the whole of Nigeria. He didnt get to see his vision come to light, he continually preached it, but when he (and his generation) passed on, the whole society when to the gutters; worse than they could ever imagine. Better to have an outsider ill-treat you than ur own brother. . . . . . We can all choose and pick who we think fits any of the characters. My characterization is not set in stone. My point was, if I could find as close a similarity as possible (btwn the book and real life), the more people read it, the "easier" they "found" who they felt fits the characters in the book. At least some young minds out there must have read this and have, hopefully, become enlightened as a result. Thats my sole objective, nothing else! |

@POST If it took long time and lavished resources to make the original poster of the thread and fellow cronies to realize that Nigeria is a cesspit and worse than the fictitious “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, then poster and his/her happy jackasses are worse than clueless. |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by bkbabe97y(m): 8:44pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
Chyz*: Right! And when Historians all over the world are asked: Who led the rebel side in a war against the State of Nigeria, their answer is gonna be Isaac Adaka Boro? Ask urself, honestly, how many Nigerians have ever heard of Isaac Adaka Boro, cus the answer is pretty glaring from the answers that are usually put up when this man (Boro) is the topic! |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by Chyz2: 8:47pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: O shut your gaddam mouth up. The society went down the drain when the Igbos were discriminated against and taken out of the top positions. Go read on it. I hope your claming of the "whole society going to the the gutters" is isolated to your own region. That dude had enough money stolen from igbos, Ibibios,Efiks,Ijaws in the millions, yet his ass couldnt even spread out that money to his people.But i can tell you one thing he did, share it amongsts his comrads. haba haba haba, Swahhh Onyasi. Wondas shall never end with these delusional ingrates. Tufia!!! |

OAM4J: Hhehehehehe. I accept! As from this day forth, anyone calls me anything other than "Ibukun" or "The Akogun of NL" is getting drop-kicked! |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by Chyz2: 8:50pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: Whether you ask people in nigeria or Japan, as long as you said the Igbos led the FIRST [/b]rebellion against the Nigerian STATE because of resources you are [b]WRONG! |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by bkbabe97y(m): 8:53pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
Chyz*: Right! Im not calling you a history revisionist, a crazy, a mo*ron or typical Ibo man bent on "destroying" as usual. . . . . Can we move on now, Isaac .A. Boro IV? |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by Katsumoto: 8:57pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: I am good and u? Pay me no attention, I got the gist of your original post. |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by Chyz2: 8:58pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: If you can come against what I'm saying then please do since I'm a "revisionist". I guess Isaac Adaka Boro led the Niger Delta Rebellion after the Biafran war in 1970, even though he died in 1968. |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by EzeUche2(m): 8:59pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: It serves no purpose to say the Igbos were the first to be rebelled. Our region is not being use to enrich the nation. Our oil has not been fully tapped into and look at the coal mines in Enugu that haven't been used in decades. Adaka Boro an Ijaw was the first to rebel and it is his region that is being used for its "eggs." Like I said though, that was a nice try. But you cannot compare Soviet Russia with Nigeria. |

Who is reading this crap? Score: In terms of chronology, 0% Analogy, 2% The whole write-up, 0.5% "The hens (the Igbos) are among the first to rebel against Napoleon (GEJ)" |

You did well bkbabe. but why do ibos always carry last in your life? |

Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by bkbabe97y(m): 11:12pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
Obiagu1: . . . . . and if majority of the posters found something knowledgeable about it, and ure in the minority. . . . what does that say about your person? |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by bkbabe97y(m): 11:16pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
Chyz*: Like, dude, why arent you people ever satisfied if you havent destroyed anything? Who cares who Isaac Adaka Boro is? I know I dont! The best analogy I could find for the Hens were the Ibos; how strange is that to u? You Ibos are a trip! If I had given the title of "Hens" to some other group you'd have been the same person crying all ova town that it should have correctly/properly have been a "post" given to the Ibos. . . . ure just a weird lot! |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by bkbabe97y(m): 11:19pm On Mar 04, 2011 |

Weird comparisons and mismatches, no time to go through and debunk it all. |

EzeUche_: thot you said you've given it up |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by AndreUweh(m): 11:41pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
OAM4J:Idiotic threads such as this makes it difficult for him to resist tribalism. Though shall not blame him. |

Isnt Andre Uweh the same person as Ezeuche? |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by EzeUche2(m): 11:44pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
OAM4J: And allow my people to be mocked? I'll rather die than allow someone to get away with this. |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by EzeUche2(m): 11:44pm On Mar 04, 2011 |

Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by SEFAGO(m): 11:45pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
Weird comparisons and mismatches, no time to go through and debunk it all. LOL, must you debunk am na, its called trolling at its finest Andre Uweh: I personally see it as a well thought off analysis of the current political situation in Nigeria although it is full of anachronisms. Although you can argue that some of the analogies are infact spurious, it does not detract from the fact that a lot of them are dead-on. Sorry if I sound a bit like Dede1 using superfluous grammar, but I could not find more direct words to succinctly convey my point. EzeUche_: Arochukwu warrior, I expected a picture of a man dressed in leaves, with a sharp cutlass and a lot of charms, odeshi and bullet-proof juju. You disappoint me. |
Re: George Orwell Must Have Been Thinking About Nigeria When He Wrote Animal Farm! by OAM4J: 11:47pm On Mar 04, 2011 |
EzeUche_: Just when I thought we need to call for a new election. Continue your reign then. |
