So much for a religion that allows smoking but frown at drinking, what's the difference between both?

I thought they said Muslims don't smoke/drink alcohol?





Anyways I enjoyed listening to him speak, I even played the video twice.

Those who gang up to kill him are facing the repercussion of their actions now. quote author=bolayei post=103514541]This man was worth being PM. He didn't deserve to be killed. [/quote]

OmoManU:

So apt, just like the then PM, this poster writes with much vigor and knowledge, me like you already. To the topic at hand, the Ibo people really set us back a lot in this country and now they're still the one shouting Biafra up, down and everywhere..... fact is someone should be brave enough and tell those people the truth

You're such a fool. A coup that had participants from both North and South, and even a Yoruba in its inner core, and was staged so that Awolowo may be installed as Prime Minister cannot be said to be an ethnic coup. Those guys were idealists and revolutionaries. Nzeogwu was a crass nationalist (as attested to by people like Obasanjo, Babangida et'al who knew him), a purist of a soldier; a teetotaler and a pious Catholic, never did women.

Yes, Tafawa Balewa spoke good English and he was generally likable, but his involvements in the events that plunged the Western region (and the country) into a vicious crisis remain a dent on his personality. He was more or less a stooge of the Sardauna who only saw Nigeria from the lenses of the North. They both engineered the AG Crisis in the Western region for devious sectional goals...

Go and read books and cure your ignorance:
~Reluctant Rebel (Fola Oyewole).
~ Why We Struck (Ademola Ademoyega).
~ Oil, Politics and Violence...(Max Siollun).
~ My Command (Olusegun Obasanjo).

N.B.: be instructed that Ademola Ademoyega was one of the chief-conspirators (Five Majors) in the coup. Also, Obasanjo was Nzeogwu's best friend. He knew him inside-out.

The coupists inadvertently made mistakes and bungled the whole thing. One thing is clear: it was a nationalistic revolution, but it ran into its own problems.

Watch again. The man that sat beside him knew it was not appropriate, but there was nothing he could do... look at the way he looked at him.

They were intellectuals who are well grounded and brilliant, teaching job those days is more prestigious than today and the teaching jobs were taken by smart people like them for strategic reasons.

Imagine these leaders, especially Sardauna, getting our neighbouring countries then as far back early 60s when we were barely a republic o, to agree not to dam the River Niger so we can build ours and these countries, they all signed up to it!. This is a task current day Ethiopia could not achieve with Egypt and Sudan that it's been taken to UN with Egypt threatening grave repercussions if Ethiopia still plans to fill the grand renaissance dam in Ethiopia with water from the blue Nile river.

Below's a textbook authored by late Shehu Shagari but most people don't know that these guys are intellectuals as well . How many teachers those days or present day politicians like Sowore et al write textbooks for students? Yet the same late Shehu Shagari smoking in the video wrote probably more than one educational textbook and published, this one below is a textbook on Geography and History of Nigeria in Verse that was published just after Nigeria's civil war.

I can tell you, this and other more are reasons Nigeria is considered giant of the continent. We citizens sometimes undermine these great strides as if they are nothing while leaders of other countries and their citizens acknowledge them with greatness and want to be like us.
Yesterday, when I heard the Sudanese Foreign Minister making reference with that I was so proud of myself being a Nigerian once more.
It very unfortunate that we have some people around these days who are bend on destroying the country just because of their own selfish and ulterior motives. They would always tell you the country is not working but how would the country work while some are working to pull down the same country.
God bless Nigeria.

I used to stay up late at night to watch his speeches on New Year's Eve. Years later, someone that worked at the NTA told me that they used to take smoking breaks when they were recording the speeches, so that the president could smoke.

Naptu you must be in your 60s or 70s.

Regards.

Xilsbridalhouse:

I guess you smoke cigarettes too and you are only trying to justify reasons to do so right ? Are you aware he stopped smoking maybe at sometime ? Did you live with him ? You think body systems react same way? Well, better stop before it becomes too late. Health is Wealth.

I don't smoke ...I am a fitness buff who even lives off a cave man diet and in great health condition

bolayei:
This man was worth being PM. He didn't deserve to be killed.

And awolowo deserve to be in prison?

obiekunie01:

You are the dumb one here who cannot reason beyond ethnic sentiments

Mikecold:
Is cigarettes not supposed to be Haram to Muslims?


Is it not morally unrighteous as an habit?

Is it not an intoxicant/stimulant that changes ones behavioral pattern?

Is it not primarily a western culture?

Does it not harm the health of a smoker?


So why do Muslims feel cool with cigarettes but condenm alcohol

Lol. You dey mind those ones. Go to the North they consume narcotics (hard drugs) like it's water! Alcohol? They hide it in their kettle after their Jumat they drink it �

Shagari lived till his 90s yet some people will come and say cigarettes killed Davidos PA

Everybody is different ,some people get lung cancer and other health challenges after smoking for few years some never get cancer.its similar to drinking or having unprotected sex ,some get std or pregnant others don't , the best thing to do is abstain or try to do it in moderatn but I prefer the former

How did Nothern Nigeria went from Tafa Balewa to Muhammadu Buhari?

MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL AMIN

Jlow2:

Same way you guys ridicule Northerners today labelling them unintelligent because they aren't that coherent with the English language.

Southerners and double standards at times...

You are the one with nothing upstairs.

This PM sounds very intelligent

Very fluent and eloquent man.
The black prince of Africa. When the Term ‘Sir” had a meaning.

I still don’t understand why Nzeogwu and his band of idiots murdered him.

Carlyscales:

Nope
