now we are talking

lets make nigeria better, whether hausa, igbo or yoruba

whether lagos, ekiti, enugu, sokoto or rivers

everyone in nigeria needs a crediable leader, not ethnic leader

we are one

The attacker is probably a mental patient. He will spend the rest of his life staring throughs metal bars in Kirikiri.

gbam

why did he attack ibb that destroyed the economy at the first place

DapoBear:
Nope, he is completely correct. The lot of your average man or woman in Singapore is far better than that of your average Saudi.

T[b]rade does not cease, even if political division occurs. Trade benefits both sides; stopping trade for political reasons is cutting your nose off to spite your face. If they stop selling us tomatoes, then we have to source it from somewhere else, likely at higher cost. And at the same time, it is another business and area of potential profit shut out for them.

tell them dapo

this people do not understand how politics and economies works

shame, all they know is what happened in 1967, shame

Missy85:
Celebrated? I assume you mean, marked.

But this only happened about 40 years ago, marking it now will be too traumatic for those who fought in it & are still alive, as well as the many civilians caught up in it & their younger relatives. I think it should wait a little longer.

Best thing for Nigeria to do for now is take good care of the living victims of the war.

Also, the sight of a smug-looking Ojukwu on our TVs will be too much for many, including me. The guy has never apologised for his failed war strategy & the millions of lives (mostly his own people) lost

My opinion.

your opinion is right, i think ojukwu should be jailed for the death of thousands of people.

i mean he collecting pension from the same enemy he fought against

    LINK:-VANGUARD ONLINE

   
    Rescue
    The opening of the door of Obasanjo’s car drew the attention of both the Air Force personnel and Mobile Policemen some 100 metres away, and they quickly dragged the man out of the car and gave him the beating of his life.[/quote]this is funny, but that man shouldn't have done that to obj

why can't he do it to ibb

Beaf:
Its like you really hate Igbo's (and ND peeps from your other mad thread). I find that very strange when Igbo's don't rule you, why would you hate someone who has no power over you?. . . Fear of the past? Fear of revenge for almajiri slaughters?

You need to calm down, nothing but your own shadow is chasing you.

beaf, neaf what is the meaning of that?

is he lying?

calid, thank u that is what i have been telling them

sokoto would survive

we do not want south-west also

yorubas can take there lagos with them

we northerners want to be on our own

how am i becomerich

seanet02:
Who needs Ekwueme??

gbam gbam gbam

the question is who is Ekwueme

insisted of us trying to stop old politicians from gaining power.

Ojiofor:
Nobody asked Awo for food or Nigeria gov to feed Biafrans but their starvation policy means they were shooting airplanes bringing food to Biafra.That is  what made Awo guilty of war crimes.

sharrp dia

is it only throught the air food can reach biafra!!!!

what about the niger/delta region, why can't they use the ships and drop the food in portharcount

it was the ijaws and nigerdelta people that did not bring food to biafrans

so stop blaming awolowo

or u want to say awolowo, yorubas soldiers and the northerners invaded ijaw land so as to stop food from reaching the biafrans.

think about it and do not be biased

igbo and yoruba wake uo ah

becomrich4:
First of all you painted zik has an hero. he stood by, while they killed 50,000 igbos and another 1,000,000 igbos.  I just want us to get the fact right. Zik is not an hero. at least not my own hero. You see here is my reason. When northerners murder Igbos, what was the response of zik and Ojukwu. Instead of zik supporting Ojukwu , he refused because of his person ambition. Is that a good man. 50,000 of his people were murder for no reason based on thier fault.

I am not a person who is scared to rewrite the history of Nigeria. we would have avoid the killing of 1,000,000 igbos , if zik was not a selfish man, and if his personal ambition he put aside and work for the common goal of people . if zik spoke against the killing at that time. There would never been a civil war. And 1,000,000 igbos would still be alive.(same thing jonathan is about to do, if he does not break up nigeria. his person or your lifes, mikhail gorbachev broke his nation)


You talk of 20 pound. You must ask yourself this question. what could 20 pound worth do then. a teacher salary was about 10 pound. And teachers at that times, where the most highly paid people. Teachers , then where likes gods. 

Do you want to tell me every igbo man was a teacher. NO.? most igbos where making less than 5 pound before the war.

2 How many igbos put thier money in banks, at that time. Not many . but when you compare to how many igbos made claim of having bank account. less than 1% of igbos put thier money into bank at that time. but nearly 99% igbos got more than 20 pound. Got from the Yorubas. or do you think northerners who killed 1,000,000 igbos were the one who gave them that money. NO. It was the yoruba people.


3. It should be on record that awolowo 20 pound that he gave the igbos, put the Yoruba people into disadvantage in business till today. Many igbos got money. what did you yorubas get for the war. Nothing.

It would be noted the fraud that was also involve in the distribution of this money.

An igbo man with a name like ikechukwu uchenna, would collect 20 pound under different names.

He would go there first as

Ike Uchenna  and collect 20 pound

the second he goes there under a new name Ikechukwu nna, he collect 20 pound

Next time he goes there, Ike uche , , he collect 20 pound

Next time, he became ikechukwu uchenna , he collect 20 pound

You he end up collecting 80 pound. This is what happened. Igbos had no ID at that time.

While the Yoruba nation was destroyed finances.because the north who started the war, had no money and they took Yoruba money to fight the igbos, while even the igbos who collect 20 pound, where collecting Yoruba money. Because it was about 1970 we really as a nation start producing serious money.

While you complaining that they gave you 20 pound of Yoruba money. What did the yorubas who they collected the money from should say.


You talk of starvation ?? I  am telling you, they ship food to biafra, and my father ship  carry food to igbos was attacked by biafra. that silly believe that they use starvation was wrong. That why my name is segun.

The story of use for many years was most use by northerner to put the blame of the civil war on chief obafemi awolowo so that they can win election. instead of them offering apology to the igbos, they put the blame on awolowo.  But the truth is, please go and ask Ojukwu, Chief Obafemi awolowo was in jail when the whole thing happen. He was in jail in the east. how can a man who is in jail be blame for starting a civil war

gbam

ezeuche and co are just too feeled with hate for the yoruba people

that hate has blinded them to see the truth, but instead they believe what there parent tell them

i was alive duing the war, i know they yoruba people did them no wrong.

they are just to bitter to see reason and be open minded

DapoBear:
Hrm. I'm feeling pretty hungry right now. I could go to the grocery store to replenish my fridge. Maybe instead I should go to war with Awolowo. After all, we know the rules, when you go to war with Awo, he is obliged to feed you and your family.

bro u could not have put it better

Gbawe:
My brother , that is why learned Nigerians (eg Wole Soyinka) insist that blind followership is equally responsible , as bad leadership , for the situation Nigeria finds itself in. We know that nothing works in Nigeria because of corruption.  We also know that Nigeria is moving backward because we are being led badly by corrupt men and women who  have being rigged in as leaders everywhere. These men and women must be voted out in favour of progressive leaders for Nigerian to make badly needed and long overdue progress. One only needs to look at how Jonathan is indulging the disgraceful antics of one of the worst Governors, by far, in Nigeria (Gbenga Daniel) for it to be clear that Nigerians will gain  corrupt leaders and ruinous hands as an automatic accompaniment to a GEJ victory.

gbam

we as nigerians really need to take the bull by the horn

all the presidential aspirant are all corrupt and are thieves even the so call tinubu is a bloody thieve

as i have said earlier, until a revolution is placed in the country, there is not moving forward

ribadu, tinubu, buhari and co are all thieves

the only person i can pass is fashola because he is a thieve but he his doing his job!

jonathan and co, are just doing everything in there power to get into the office

jonathan said before he leaves there would be constant electricity, has he done it, the answer is no

now, where did the money go, the answer is we do not know?

shame, is only God that would help us

Ninapha:
He is our son. When they tell you your child is a thief, you can’t just jump up and start celebrating. You will have to find out and establish the truth.

What is She saying here? Is she alright? Go ahead and investigate him for bringing Nigeria to the forefront when there are Dozen of issues awaiting your comment. The Bomb blast, the Amunition at the Port and all other issues seeking your Govt attention, andyou are here talking about someone who brought grory to Nigeria.

10, 000 demons in the form of Emegwali are saints compared to those probing him.

@ bolded

i think the government should have more pressing issues than this investigation of emeguali

chuqudy:
Sheer jealousy.

there is no jealousy in this matter

if he is not a fraud, then he has nothing to be scared about

although i do not support this investigation

look the sooner the yoruba, igbo and other southerner unite the better it is for ur lifes
