Enough of this! I will post some pictures from Enugu. This lull in picture is precipitating boredom. The boredom is making us to bicker unnecessarily. Gov. Sullivan is working!

van bonattel: They nearly got me to believe that shaiit about real original pammy, what People dont know is that the tappers are wiser than you, they add the sugar and saccarin with water on the empty keg they tie on the tree at night, come in the morning and they will bring it down from the palm tree and you will be jumping up and down after drinking original oraifite sacharin!

The old men must be having a laugh.

You are very funny. Saccharine taste lingers in the mouth just like Viju milk, while palmwine does not. Pls sample their product first. Mind you that my town is far away from Oraifite.

van bonattel: While palm wine tappers are busy adding generous quantities of sugar and salt into Udi pammy, Oraifite tappers dont have the time to add sugar!


NA WASH!!!!

Every old tapper from lagos to kontangora is maximizing profits, dont tell me the tappers in oraifite are saints while their sons are selling drugs at head bridge, (I did not say anything o)

I'm not promoting them with my comment. I'm only telling you the truth. I've observed wine tappers in Udi, Ezeagu and Oraifite closely. Palmwine tappers mostly adultrate their products when they take it home. Oraifite tappers sells off their products at the bank of Ose river. The taste of their products feels better. Granulated sugar is scarcely sold there.

Udi-Ezeagu palmwine tappers are hardworking people. Anyone who had observed them closely will readily agree with me. Let's not attach sentiment to my comment.

Every palmwine tapper almost always endeavour to maximize profit. But we should not overdo it.

afam4eva: I really need to taste Orafite palm wine then

Pls do

afam4eva: Ahh Akpugo has one of the best palm wine in Igboland. I'm from Amaechi-Awkunanaw.

I beg to disagree. The best palmwine which I've tasted in Alaigbo was at Oraifite. I've tasted Nsukka palmwine, Udi palmwine, Ezeagu palmwine and Akpugo-Nkanu palmwine. None of them comes close quality-wise when compared to that of Oraifite. I previously thought that Udi & Ezeagu are the best palmwine tappers in Alaigbo until I saw my friend's dad diluting 25 litres of palmwine with 75 litres of water and several bags of granulated sugar. Granulated sugar is high in demand in Udi-Ezeagu axis.
Initially, I was wondering if they are addicted to smoking garri. I never knew that they use it to augument the taste of their palmwine. In fact, I developed peptic ulcer from drinking their palmwine.
Since I discovered their secret; I've stopped drinking any form of palmwine in Enugu. Since most of their products finds its way to Enugu capital for public consumption. To add insult to the injury, retailers ends up diluting it even more to maximize profit.

In Oraifite, they will tap the palmwine from the palm trees located at Ose river. They don't even have the time to adulterate their product since their customers comes down to Ose river to purchase the wine. Their palmwine has soothing effect on the belly. I invite anyone to confirm Oraifite palmwine. I'm not from Oraifite, but I rate their palmwine high.

geez*:
It's all false eediot

You prove that any of those lies are true and if you owned a property, would you allow anyone outside your family to be buried there? You're so cheap and unintelligent

The onus is on you f00l to prove that I lied. I made an assertion and I expect you to shoot it down with your facts. I can see that you are too young to know the dynamics of Abiola's family. Once again, these informations were widely published in the media. The shout of lie! lie!! by a goat like you does not change this historical fact.

geez*:
Must you lie?

By the time the Abiola family is done sharing what he had, I'm sure at least twenty of Abiola's children will have in their names more than everything Oju Iku ever had in his life

1. Abiola was buried in a rented land. True or False?

2. Abiola borrowed money for his campaign. True or False?

3. Abiola left behind a massive debt. True or False?

These informations were widely published in newspapers.
If you accuse me of lying, I expect you to provide a rebuttal.

geez*:
So not true. This drama is just beginning and see what dimension Season 1 is taking. Besides Abiola had far more children and more than thirty times the property Ojukwu had dead and alive but if you can't manage just a few properties I can count with the fingers on one hand, how on earth can you even manage a local government. As you can see, he had to look for someone to write his Will for him

Lie! Abiola died bankrupt. He amassed debt for his children and grandchildren. He was buried in a rented land. He borrowed money for his presidential bid. His properties were confiscated to settle his debt. Thank God that Abacha stopped him. If not, Nigeria will inherit Abiola's debt.
Ojukwu acquired his wealth as an upright businessmman, while Abiola acquired his wealth through corrupt practices and by romancing the successive junta. His fingers were fatally burnt when he challenged the decision of the junta.

E_KARO: The same ojukwu who wanted to manage a country(biafra) is not even able to manage his own family and his own will. Ibhoes are something else talk about delusion of geandeur.smh

Abiola was a greater joke. The greatest illusionist of 20th century.

mercylicious: Its very possible interswitch was having issue at that time- issuer or switch inoperative.
I made withdrawal today from another bank ATM so ur experience was temporary.

I don't know what you are trying to say. I could not withdraw this evening with my GTB ATM mastercard @ First Bank, Zenith Bank, Access Bank(All @ Okpara Avenue, Enugu). It's frustrating and annoying when you are denied or discriminated of basic financial services because you banks with another bank. This is analogous to introducing the discriminatory services of the telecommunication companies to banking system.

dayokanu: Go and check the library in your grandmothers village

I SMH @ your low intellect. You deserves our pity.

dayokanu: Oh Do I need to educate you again? Or do you need to get to the library in your grandmas village to get some common sense as well?

[s]Ojuku was already a vegetable that was why his wife became the village bicycle and he couldnt say anything about it.

How would everyone be phucking ikeebas wife and he wont say anything. he was already senile[/s]

In your botched bid to educate me, you made a mockery of yourself. I'm only responding to you because I feel like doing so. Otherwise, I don't engage someone who is incapable of intelligent thought. Keep your perverted thought to yourself.

Now, DUMBO! Can you explain the word "vegetable" to me?

Deep Sight: Addittionally, Katsumoto, can you kindly address three simple questions for me:

1. What is the definition of a war crime? Is this a correct definition? - - ->

War crimes are serious violations of the laws applicable in armed conflict (also known as international humanitarian law) giving rise to individual criminal responsibility. Examples of such conduct include "murder, the ill-treatment or deportation of civilian residents of an occupied territory to slave labor camps", "the murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war", the killing of prisoners, "the wanton destruction of cities, towns and villages, and any devastation not justified by military, or civilian necessity".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crime

2. Does the enforecement of a food aid blockade in a civil war which leads to the death by starvation of hundreds of thousands of people qualify as a war crime under the above (or your own) definition of a war crime. Would it qualify as per the bold part of the definition above?

3. Did Chief Awolowo expressly claim authourship of the food blockade in his 1983 interview which I referred to.

Thanks.

You are wasting your time with him. As far as he is concerned, war crime bears different meaning when applied to the Biafrans. He can go to any length to either defend or justify Awo's actions. Even the ones Awo admitted, he will use bigoted logic to do his unique brand of damage control. Where he finds Awo's action indefensible, he will blame the other party. It's not worth it engaging him. He has all the time in the world to stay behind his keyboard and engage in meaningless back and forth argument with you. You might not have such time on your hand.

Katsumoto: I may consider Achebe a Biafran propagandist but Things Fall Apart is an excellent book. It was excellently crafted.

As for your comments about Mandela, I am not quite sure why you think Mandela sold out but I will disagree nonetheless.

Life is all about compromise and some times, you have to meet the other party halfway. Otherwise you don't get even 1% of what you want.

Why disagree with him when you are implicitely encouraging him to make spurious claims? You were implicitely encouraging Dayokanu to make some wildly insensitive comments. Why the sudden change when the comment of one your fans becomes an embarrassment to you?
I shudder when an African describes Mandela as "overated". I wonder who is properly rated.

dayokanu: Was yar Adua not a vegetable when he was contesting for Nigerian presidency and campaigning? Even when OBj was deceiving us with a phoney phone call to Yar Adua in Germany where he went to "rest"

hahahaha. . .this is really funny!
Do you really understand the meaning of the word "vegetable"? It seems like you have a logical thought block. All your logic is geared towards negativity to justify your bigoted stance.

dayokanu: You mean like Ojuku who died lonely deaf dumb and rotten in London? He was even reported to be a vegetable for like 4yrs before he died.

And in hell being fisted by Lucifer himself

How can a vegetable campaign for Peter Obi in 2010?
How can a blind man campaign for Peter Obi in 2010?
Something must be wrong with you guys lies.

Abagworo: Be careful lest you rot here on earth

He's rotting already. He's worse off with his miserable life.

Wow! I never knew that you are a talented artist. Pls can you produce an artwork which can make our imagination to run wild? Monalisa and The Last Upper by Da Vinci; David statue by De Angelo; of recent, Moses statue by one obscure artist @ Anambra state College of Education Technical, Umunze and some works of former IMT art students @ ESCET makes my imagination to travel.

Dr. Centje, I must tell you that you wasted your talent in medicine. Pls consider this profession seriously. Just my thought.

The bad side of this new policy is that no one can withdraw money from any ATM machine which is not owned by his parent bank. I tried to withdraw from Access bank, First Bank and Zenith bank with my GTB ATM card and was rejected. While people with the parent bank ATM card withdrew easily. I have to locate GTB ATM machine for me to withdraw. Even GTB denied withdrawal to people with other banks ATM card. This happened throughout this week in Enugu.

Chief Sylvester Debe Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has revealed to Saturday Mirror that he turned down his father’s offer while writing his Will.

Debe also denied having a running battle with his father’s widow, Bianca, and other members of the family over inheritance. His words: “I don’t have any running battle with my father’s widow, Bianca.

The problem is that there are some misunderstandings which need to be put in proper light.

My relationship with her is still cordial. The only thing is that during my father’s burial, they were misguided by certain branches of the family. “What I am fighting for is my right and not inheritance.

In a situation when I am still alive and somebody is claiming to be the first son, he needs to be corrected for future purpose and that is part of what I am trying to correct.

My duty as a first born is to put things right even if it is painful.

In fact, once, when my father was writing a Will, he asked me to come and sit beside him.

But I refused.

Chief Debe Ojukwu have won me over with the above comments. He is a true son of his father. Bianca should endeavour to work with him. I never knew that Chief Debe Ojukwu can be reasonable. I commend his maturity. I expect other members of Ojukwu's family to follow suit.

I know that many NLers are daft. But I underestimated their degree of daftness.
How can someone declare a will fake because some characters were not included? Yet many people swallowed it hook, line and sinker. This is shameful!
Anyone who feels aggrieved should take his/her case to court. Conspiracy theory can only sway people's emotion, but it cannot buy you justice. Justice must take its due course. Bianca was close to Ojukwu in the last two decades of his life. It was not a coincidence that he gave much to the woman who stuck with him. Why all these fuss?!

Clemzy16: Nigerians and their inferiority complex! Did the hospital release any report that the governor has amnesia?! Amongst the delegates that paid him a visit, is any of them a medical expert?! Why then did they send a report to "SaharaRepoters" that he is brain-damaged?! What makes them thinks he knew them anyway?! Or is it now mandatory that all governors must know people occupying top public positions even if they haven't met one-on-one?! Now they wanna totally tanish the image of the poor governor. With what they have done, No doubt the governor will not be able to secure a place for second tenure if he comes back to occupy his position as governor of taraba state. So much for owning a private jet. Who's going to be NEXT?!

Is annesia one of the criteria to declare someone brain-damaged?

annoymous: I tire o. Would he rather have had him flown abroad straight from the crash site? Or was he thinking they would just av needed to give him brain juice if he had gotten abroad on time? Educated illiterates. Nigerian healthcare system don suffer.

lmao @ your sarcastic use of brain juice.

centje: Aside other possible causes of the bleeding,stress of the poorly done procedure can cause the baby to bleed to that extent.

You are right Centje. But, how can you explain "bleeding to death"? Even if there was an amputation of the penile head; the child would still have survived.
I think that blood clotting disorder should be fing.ered as the possible cause. If we probe further, we might get a history of bleeding disorder in the family.

toluene12: Most likely a case of hemophiliac, a bleeding disorder that affects mainly the male gender. Parents first notice this bleeding problem after circumcision when the bleeding fails to stop despite conventional hemostatic methods.

Seconded!

The child might be a haemophiliac

Katsumoto: "Sticks and stones may break my bones (except when wielded by frustrated folks) But names will never hurt me"

You frustrated folks may continue with the ad hominem attacks and I am just going to keep hitting you with facts.

This revisionist keeps roaming NL with his lies. Most of his lies had been tackled. Yet he keeps repeating them.
Katsumoto, did Ojukwu single out some aid agency to charge your so-called "landing fees?" Why didn't Red Cross, Caritas, Medecin sans frontiers, etc level the same allegation? Were they exempted? I'm just so busy right now that I have to restrict my online activity. You like to have the last word and you also play to the gallery.

Achebe is now Biafran minister of propaganda and British press have suddenly turned to objective information source? You are simply desperate.
The way you aee going, I will not be surprised if an artery bursts in your brain someday. But you will never ever gonna win us over.

Katsumoto: You are referring to Ademulegun you twit.

See link below for quote from Welby-Everard.

http://books.google.ca/books?id=t5Q78sVbLakC&pg=PA117&lpg=PA117&dq=welby+everard+1965+ogundipe&source=bl&ots=PDE2plFY5i&sig=agwoXj5FRg3Q4Ci1LC5LLKSgS4Q&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SaeyULG3LejkywHUxIG4Dw&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=welby%20everard%201965%20ogundipe&f=false

My bad! I interchanged Ademelegun with Ogundipe. You see, I don't memorize their names when I read. Nevertheless, my story line remains the same. Finally, you've deactivated your self-imposed ignore mode to respond to me directly. You did so to hurl insult at me. Don't recoil back to your shell when things gets rough.

@Katsumoto, you can quote any nonsense to support your bigoted position for all I care. Tell me any gentleman who will refer to his fellow human being as "nonentity" if he was not biased. Your rational mind did not tell you that the writer of that junk is not objective.

Katsumoto: You are forgetting the main premise for which Igbo sons came to be in political positions after Independence - they formed an alliance with the Northerners (NPC). It had nothing to do with meritocracy. When the British GOC, Sir Welby-Everard, was retiring, he nominated Ogundipe to be his replacement but Ironsi was selected by the NPC/NCNC alliance. If it were merit-based, the recommendation of the neutral party would have been taken into consideration.


Secondly, you need to read Alan Lennox-Boyd's, the colonial secretary, assessment of the three regions to reach your own conclusions about meritocracy.

This is a lie from the pit of hell. Five Majors by Ben Gbulie dealt extensively with this lie. Ogundipe was closer to Balewa government. Balewa used him in the northernisation of the army when the British handed over the army leadership mantle to Ironsi. Ogundipe was described to be disappointed. He had prepared and was waiting for his political patrons to influence his appointment.
Ogundipe was said to be openly currying favour with Balewa goverment. He was closer to Ahmadu Bello. He deployed the army to engage in civil work for the premier.
You have confirmed that you are indeed a pathological liar and a shameless revisionist.

To some !diots who thrives on mis-characterzing someone's position. I said that the list is mostly filled with Lagos politicians of Lagos origin who resists any attempt of being branded Yoruba.

shymexx: In case you missed it, this is the allegation again by Harold Smith (a British Colonial Officer who worked in Nigeria in the 1950s after graduating from Oxford University):

One day Smith was given a secret file containing a minute that ordered him to get involved in regional elections taking place in the late 1950s in the run up to independence. He was to make vehicles, staff and other resources available to the NCNC colleagues of Okotie-Eboh who was standing in the elections. Smith was shocked at the request.He explained that the election had to be fixed because the plan was that the Northern region would hold power on independence.

This is why, explains Smith, he had been ordered to help the party of Dr Azikiwe (Zik), in the East, the NCNC. He explained: “They had to fix Zik of course, there was stuff they have got him for that could send him to prison ... [they] forced him to do a deal with the North.”
Smith is adamant the orders to help the NCNC came from the top, the governor general Sir James Robertson. Smith described Robertson as “a thug and he had a terrible reputation....We loved Africans, but these people who came to do this job were a different breed, these were the ex-SOE [British Secret Service outfit set up during the Second World War] and MI6.”

Because it is certainly the case that the NCNC would not have won the election it did without British support. Nor could it have formed a coalition with the NPC at independence without British support. So I would love to see what’s in those two files about Sir James Robertson and Dr Azikiwe.”

In Kenya, the British colonialists used the less educated Kikuyus - and in India, they used the Bengalis and Tamils...

No need to waste my time on you.
