₦airaland Forum

I just concluded after reading all the harsh words coming out of bbfever and realized he is one and the same thief called shopclue and pink equity.

modicum: On an internet forum i-e NAIRALAND where many Nigerians (at home and in the Diaspora) identify themselves more by their ethnic affiliations and where trading abuses, curses and hate-speech has become the usual fare, something dramatic happened last Sunday afternoon. The moment the match between Cote D’Voire and Nigeria ended with the Super Eagles coming out victorious against popular prediction, there was a ‘ceasefire’ with everybody suddenly becoming proud to be Nigerian.Segun Adeniyi of Thisday Newspaper[size=8pt][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][color=#990000][/color]

Na lie, what happened that day was that the igbo were shouting in joy "we know we can do it if left alone by bigots!" and the rest of the country (especially yoruba) were crying "it is better we lost than allow these igbo boys to dominate the team"

Billyonaire: It is not a taboo. It is because Nairaland by Moderator's and owners' design is almost largely welcoming to neophytes and Pessimistic 'Garri' and 'first to comment' retards. So much pessimism here is enough to make you think the world has crashed. Take a deep breath and know that Nairalanders opinions begin and end here.

But you are always on the front page chasing first comments and playing to the "like me" botton.

wiegraf: The saying is something like "a people get the government they deserve"

Enugu deserves the best, they got it in Chume

demmie1: It's the truth...only to the Igbos. Did you know Achebe called Igbos ibos in the book?

So friggn what?

Awoofawo: #chinekeGodbiko
We pity you, you no pity yourself.... Commot 4 madness and listen to voice of reason.

We are not against personality here! The coded words is ''PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNANCE'' , ''POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY'' , ''TO SERVE AGAINST BE SERVE!!!

Now coming to question of constitution, do you call what we presently operating undre a constitution??!! Nigeria constitution is a shamble(A GLORIFIED JUNGLE DOCTRINE/SYSTEM)... is the very reason why our politicians are and were getting away with all their misdeeds.... Do you seriously think that your governor will be able to pull a stunt like that a sane clime........?!

So, instead of pushing for the amendment of the constitution, you are flying off the handle to push Chime to do what is not entrenched in the laws of the land just because it suits your convenience?
Let me educate you about the dangers of doing what is not in the constitution, there will be chaos. Jungle justice will reign.

Do the right thing first, he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.

Dede1: There is no need to reach Demola Awoyokun for regurgitating the craps Nowa Omoigui has been forced to retract. It is very funny PWC Review has this lame fraud as executive editor. Believe me, if this joker named Damola Awoyokun is gainfully employed by PwC, that PricewaterhouseCooper, LLC, he\she is about to lose his\her job. There is no room in a the editorial staff of PwC for a plagiarist.

The Demola guy is just seeking for attention, but a butterfly can never graduate to a bird

inufele2: You don't talk in an online forum you post!

You don't talk in an online forum (comma) you post!

I will keep teaching you English, I learnt from the best, Achebe

T9ksy: Trust you, ke? Are you a (literary) God like you senile, physically and psychologically challenged achebe?

Sorry, but no one (except of course, his kinsmen)trust or believe what achebe wrote in his memoirs nor do we trust or accept

whatever emanate from the gob of your ilk.

You must submit yourself to the reign of Achebe, or be forced to eat your words as Keshi made you bigots to.

seanet01: 78421 is a clown,
just because of a typo you start bragging about?
That is what immature people normally resort to when faced with a more intelligent and rational MISSILES.
You need to grow up.

The typo is glaring in this case because he is talking about a literary god. You are immature if you think I am immature.

inufele2: See you life in the open! So you cannot even spell the 'nothing'

Go on, edit my post to stop your shame and humiliation

Riba_man: One of the characteristics of Democratic rule is openness with/to the Masses/electorate. In proper democracies, power ultimately resides with the voting public, not with the elected officials.
Please, try and reason out an issue before you comment on it

Another characteristic of democracy is freedom, the elected should not be forced to make public announcements especially where he feels the announcement will cause social tension or a breakdown of law and order.

Rooneyboy: I for one know Niger foundation.
Though private(owned by the catholic church, funding comes straight from the vatican )

World class hospital.

Thank you Rooneyboy, you see, I don't even think his travel for treatment has anything to do with standard of their local hospitals there. I know many states that bring high profile patients to enugu hospitals from around the country. The man reserves the right to choose where he should be treated, just like the rest of us, if he chose a native doctor at Okija shrine to cure him, how is it anybody's business?

inufele2: See how much you tried to avoid providing an answer to my question? Is ashebe an English name? And what is so difficult in his name to spell? I'll spell his name in any manner I deem fit for the purpose of this forum.
Now answer the question provide evidence of these 'billions' that read ashebe's book or shut up! You think you can come over to this thread to make ridiculous claim about the achievements of your fictional writer?

If you think Achebe is not an English word, try google search. If wikipedia can spell it correctly and you cannot, then you need to learn Latin

emperorchedda: My friend u'r such a huge fool! D only reason Sullivan cannot use d medical facilities of his state is simply because dey r below par. If u hv d best hospital at ur backyard then y take d stress 2 travel 4 long hours inorder 2 get treatment in anoda country. If unth, parklane and co are standard y ddnt sullivan go der since it ll b much easier and save him much stress? Der is no doubt dat d man is a big liar 4 deceivin d public wiv d so called"finding out about the cancer only wen he arrived london". He wz critically ill b4 leavin 9ja. Dat man jst showed he doznt hv his pple at hrt 4 not keepin dem posted abt his condition while receivin treatment because dis ll help in calmin s nerves of d pple. D state wz nevr calm while he wz away so I wonder whr u got ur calmness 4rm, der wz evn a grp named Save Enugu dat called 4 sth 2 b done abt d so called gov's disappearance so whr doz d calmness arise. Dis man is our servant so he holds d responsibility of tellin us whreva he is because he's alwayz needed (and not jst 4rm few class dat ll kw whr he is). So nigga I advice u stfu and stop revealing ur level of ignorance 2 d public! @748....

Gosh! I can't read this gibberish. Please come back with your points after you have completed your primary school.

inufele2: What a lame response? You're drooling over a simple typo? Whether it is proove or prove or even proof what matters is the message being passed across. If you want to show your prowess in the use of English language may be you can create a thread for that and invite me over. You claimed 'billions'read ashebe's book yet you have no evidence to back this up. Instead of drooling over my typing error why not provide a reply to my post?

You cannot even spell "Achebe" correctly and you are here talking? I will not create a new English topic, what's the point in using a sledge hammer to kill a common housefly
Seriously you need to read Chinua Achebe's books, the man tried to cure illiteracy and stupidity, you need a dose of his medicine.

gidiMonsta: [size=16pt]MUBARAK, BEN ALI AND GHADDAFI COMMANDED GREAT ARMIES AND SPOKE AT LENGTH ON THE GREATEST OF STAGES. GUESS WHAT? THEIR DEMISE STARTED ON TWITTER!![/size]

You should have started a revolution, if you are brave enough, and guess what, it will consume OBJ and IBB first.

SELFWORTH: Don't mind them. That is why the country is in shambles. The abnormal is deemed normal and some fools will still defend it.

They want Nigeria to change but many have no idea how to achieve this. Chime and his colleagues were irresponsible in the way they have dealt with the matter.

I have nothing but contempt for him and his colleagues who believe his position is an inheritance rather than a public serving role. God will remove all of them in due course. When God hears the cry of the innocent who cannot afford treatment abroad like these spoilt politicians, He will REMOVE the pharaohs of Nigeria.

The country is in shambles because you have unrealistic expectations borne out of inadequate information and will shoot with your mouth without thinking of what you are saying.
The conduct of Chime is right and except for faceless people like you, no other responsible person has said anything against him.

Awoofawo: You are seriously lacking in wisdom and grace to understand meaning of holding public office holders accountable for their action and inaction!

On the day they start making use of Nigeria medical facilities, start sending their children to Nigeria public schools, when they start experiencing what the ordinary citizens in the street go through. That day is when they will sit up and realize they are mean to serve the common interest and not their pockets. That day is when they will do the needful and free the massive from neo-slavery!

What section of the Nigerian constitution stipulates that any public officer is bound to his local schools or hospitals, or you just trying to punish this particular one? I think you are the one lacking in wisdom because you failed to agitate for your desired changes in the laws of the land. What you are doing here is mere wishful thinking.

Gangnam: I agree he's an intellectual god alright. You have to be some sort of intellectual god to fabricate stories to mislead millions the way he has done it.
However, on a serious note, the main point I got from this article is that, Achebe is almost as culpable as Ojukwu for the waste of plenty of Igbo lives in the failed war. He was part of the inner caucus "yes men" Ojukwu surrounded himself with, as pointed out by the writer and Achebe himself. Their short-sighted and highly mono-coloured elitist world view led to the unnecessary death of many "common" people, Biafrans and Nigerians alike. That same parochial view is what he has translated into his delusional memoir to mislead many more and fan the embers of their failed ambition.

Since you agree he is a god over your literary life, OK, the rest of your points are wide off topic.

inufele2: You're a disgrace to yourself for writing that piece of shhh!t you posted above.
What is the population of the whole world out of which these 'billions' of yours read ashebe's book?
If you want to see the exercise book I used, you have to proove to me that you have once in your life spent 10kobo coins and fifty kobo notes otherwise go and ask your parents the same question.

"Proove"
And you claim to have been through primary school? Pathetic!

~Bluetooth:
You just won the post of the day award.

And his price is? 136 strokes of the long whip

eagle,eye:
Eyahhhh. I rest my case, since the governor is not accountable to anybody.

He is accountable to the people, and he has given them visible projects and accounted for their resources. The people are well settled, the house are well settled and nobody is complaining in the state, why are you complaining?

inufele2: Intellectual god? just for writing fictional books? I wonder what we should call someone like Isaac Newton and many other reknowned scientists and inventors. Igbos think ashebe is a god just for writing fictional books! you guys are a lost case!

Show us the excercise book you used in primary school if you ever went to any school. Achebe wrote books read by billions of people, that makes him a god, ruling over people like you.

lakhadimar: SO MUCH FOR AN INTELLECTUAL god WHO RESORTED TO LIES, FALSEHOOD, AND COOKED-UP FACTS IN WRITING A BOOK. FORTUNATELY NOT ALL US ARE AS GULLIBLE AS HIS TRIBAL KINSMEN WHO ACCEPTS THIS INACCURATE PROPAGANDA MATERIAL AS THE GOSPEL TRUTH

Achebe is an intellectual god, GBAM! The hammer has fallen! You can apeal at a later date

Wsdm: So the people that were suppose to know his whereabouts by your assertion are the speaker and unelected aids not the electorate? I am so sorry for your type.

You saw the deputy governor doing his work, but you just want this man to give accounts to you. Why did they have a deputy if the governor cannot leave his seat? The electorates are cool, never heard them complaining about the governor, what about you?

eagle,eye:
If he wasn't causing "social tension and endangering the peace of the state" why was the media houses agog with all kinds of rumours about his where about, with one even going as far as saying that he is "dead"?
Why was the opposition calling for his impeachement (on the grounds of improper hand over) if he was generating "social tension" by being silent?

Please, you guys should at least admit that he handled this particular incidence wrongly. No leader is ABOVE MISTAKE.
I like Gov Chime, but he messed up this one time.

The media houses are seeking their pay, the governor is working for his people. No apolgies to nobody.

eagle,eye:
Please go and read the governors statement again. He felt the "tiny growth" around his neck and that is the thyroid area in a human being.

Am tired of the populace defending STUPIDITY. What happens to releasing a statement about being ill and going on a break to seek for "proper" medical attention.
Why build up a lot of controversy about an illness and make all the news media houses agog with all kinds of rumours?
If they had provided adequate medical facilities in the country, will they need to run to abroad for every little thing?

The only controversy I see in all these, is the one you guys are creating online.

eagle,eye:
The above statement is the more reason he should have let the people know that he was ill. He is human and so can fall sick like any other person. By letting his people know that he is ill, he need not tell them the nature of his illness and what make s you think that he will be given an inhumane treatment?
Okay, now that he has finally opened up, what makes you think that he won't still be given an "inhumane " treatment in his "trying period"?

Nobody can give that guy an inhumane treatment after all he has done for them, that is why the whole state was calm about all these. C'mon, should this man suddenly cause tension in the polity by making fearful comments about his health which may even cause social tension and endanger the peace of the state? He went quietly, returned quietly and the state is better for it.

Kamanda: slowpoke

Read what Evil Brain wrote above and you may realise that calling you a slowpoke is an insult to Morons.

Evil brain is wrong, stop cursing people and make your points. Because nigerian administrators are not working is no reason to deny them their rights. Two wrongs can never make a right.

jmoore: It can be likened to that of Yar’Adua because you and your commissioner of information were hiding the truth.

Na lie, Yar Adua didn't hand over properly and the nation was suffering the gap. It was not like that in this case.

shineureyes: why did you not add standard hospitals to your list of achievements? Try 2 b useful 2 ur generation than supporting mediocrity

That state has standard hospitals, UNTH, Parklane and Niger Foundation with foreign doctors, go and check. And I find nothong wrong with a citizen who can pay for his medical bills to be forced to take treatment at home just because he is governor, where is his fundamental human rights?
And you, yes you, has anybody ever forced you to take treatment in any place you don't like? How did you feel afterwards?
