@Alhaji "Boko" Harem, I have come to understand that you like joining the bandwagon. Its a pity that you can't voice out your opinion or intentions. Must you always second peoples posts? Don't you have some brains to think out something positive? If not "Gbam" or true talk. Please make use of your own brains rather than seconding.             @OP, I'm so pissed that you guys have the time for this. Those guys has done their bits and left the seat for these imbecilic and megalomaniacs in power. The best thing we should be doing is to fashion out means to plead with these dudes to concentrate with our political rogues. Why, because an average naija politician will never be alive to see this country being divided. That's why they do crush any regional "militant" agitators with every military force available. Boko Haram is the only force that can fight for the downtrodden in this country. Our EFCC and ICPC were meant for the yahoo boys and not for our polithievcians, but BK is now an oracle that can kill and maim them at will. Let's form an online alliance to appeal to their conscience to leave the innocent citizens out of this but to continue with our so called leaders. For your information, naija will never disintegrate because we the southerners rejected it when it came to us on a platter of gold.

ok sir what do u want me to do.lol

if say the truth, u people would be the first to call me boko haram

if i agree with other u would still insult me

watin u want make i do gan

still enjoying the thread

londoner:
Well, I heard the Lagos state government/Fashola warned of the coming rains a few weeks before hand, and advised people to move. was this enough?


[b]The question is with this expectation of very heavy rainfall, what was DONE to remove the blockages already on ground?

The people of Lagos have to take some blame, but the governor has to take his share for lack of preparation, because he does have the capability to get the man power together to clear the blockages before the rains came, with the knowledge that they were coming.

Lagosians, after the warning did you see any measures taken against the flooding?

IMO, Fashola is still a good governor and because he is genuine, he and his administration will probably make sure that the next heavy rains do not have a chance to cause such havoc.

[/b]He is just human afterall, but Bush took his share of criticism after the hurricane Katrina fiasco and it centred around his lack of preparation, not that he somehow controls weather, lol

well said

thank u, i love fashola but since he knew about the flooding, what did he do to prevent it

WaltherPPK:
This is a smoke screen.Are you renouncing membership?

i was and would never be a member of boko haram

i am not associated with that group

jason123:
Because they now enjoy Nigeria. Oil was discovered in 1953 or so . Obviously, why would they want to leave

You need to read what Ojukwu said to the West. BTW, I hope you know that the West's cousins (MW) were already occupied and ANNEXED to Biafra?
Here it is:
During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority-Ojukwu
If Awolowo had said that to the East, would you have agreed


It is quite unfortunate FOR THE SOUTH (Not just the "East". Well, that is what we deserve for not co-operating.

funny man. i would think ojukwu was power hungry

VoodooDoll:
Is it true that the Ikemba has been abandoned in the UK,

How sad,

http:///news-page/gov-peter-obi-and-bianca-abandon-ikemba-england

Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, currently sick in England, has been virtually abandoned by his wife, Bianca Ojukwu (nee Onoh) and his erstwhile political godson, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State.

Our investigation included interviews with concerned doctors, Nigerians in the UK, family members, and close associates of the former leader of Biafra who is one of the most charismatic public figures in Africa in the last fifty years. Saharareporters has unearthed horrifying details of the plight of the Ikemba after he had his second stroke in December of 2010.

Governor Obi has told Nigerians many a time that Chief Ojukwu was receiving the best medical attention in the UK and that he, the governor, was taking care of the medical bills. But sources close to the family as well as a medical source disclosed to Saharareporters that Ikemba had been dumped in an elderly home in England due to lack of money to pay his hospital bills. Meanwhile our investigation showed that Ikemba’s wife, Bianca, is now living with her boyfriend, Uju Robert Okonkwo, in her husband’s home in Enugu. Mr. Okonkwo is a commissioner in Governor Obi’s government and Bianca reportedly nominated him for the job

bianca

it think the story is not accurate

bk babe lets keep it civil

i am enjoying the discussion

pls lets keep it clean

adejoro75 nice one. let just discuss without insult

parryon:
[b]The foolhardy of some of my Igbo brothers is astounding. How can anyone in his right senses buy a house or land in a place where he cannot defend his property with weapons? Is it that I understand the value of money more, or that folks are simply "money miss road"?

I would rather blow my money on self indulgence (and there are millions of them I can pick from Cool), than buy a piece of land outside the range of my defense ability. . . which explains why I (so far) seldom buy lands outside Igboland.

I think we (Ndigbo in the SE) should chase back these so called refugees to go back and fight for their properties. Cool


please do not blame us the ibos , we are not used to living in shacks,open fields and face -face ,so we tend to build mansions.wait a minute though,without the ibos i don't think the north would have any mansion in their region.they should b grateful to us instead of fighting us all the time.the north would have been one phucking desert without the ibos and the development we took to them.

nonsense

when last have u visited the SE states like ebonyi, abia, enugu before u are talking rubbish

if i recall correctly, we did not beg u to come to the north and build mansion

pls build in the SE

aikuda:
Alh harem,
I agree with you on the statement above.

The late Sadauna of sokoto will be turning in his grave. I commiserate will all our northern brothers and sisters suffering right now in the hand of these hoodlums.

gbamm well said

and that is why i am not in any support of this boko rubbish they are doing

to me it is just a political weapon just like MEND was

dinggle:
I'm interested in Boko Haram corruption hit list, if that happens the fear of Boko Haram will be be beginning of honesty in govt.

boko haram would and will never bring honest government to nigeria

if they want to do that, they would have blown up IBB masion, OBJ mansion, EDWIN CLERK mansion

aso rock among others

killing innocent people is not a way to stopping corruption

jason123:
@ OP
If we follow history, I think you are blaming the wrong people. I blame Azikwe. Why? Because the so called Awolowo NEVER wanted the North to be part of the union but Azikwe wanted them to be. [size=13pt]Even the North [b]NEVER wanted this union but Azikwe did.[/b][/size]
You cannot just go to the Coup and the war without going through the events that lead to the coup, war and today's situation. What you did lacks objectivity.
Even Awolowo warned Ojukwu and told him to present his delegates and the West will support him but Ojukwu was arrogant and dismissed it. Even the so called Biafra failed, not because of Awolowo but because of its disregard for the minorities in the Eastern region and the invasion of the MW. The so called Starvation could not have been done by Awolowo as some people want us to believe. It was done by the Eastern minorities who where coastal.

Ojukwu never tried negotiating with his neighbours. He simply invaded and killed all oppositions. He NEVER for ONCE, tried to negotiate with the MW and the West. He simply brought Banjo to invade them. Note: NO NEGOTIATION!!!

The people you blamed NEVER wanted Nigeria. But since it was formed and they (North) saw the benefits, they now want Nigeria by force. As for Awolowo, he simply did what was best for his people, after all, "Nigeria is a mere geographical expression".

thank u jason

very well said

Seanet1000:
Jarus, You are a disgrace to Yorubaland, Infact you are a Bastard. If this is all you learnt at your kunu City called Brainwashed schools, you deserve to be expelled from Yorubaland. It is only misfits like you that will put a clueless Sanusi among the first 1 million in Yorubaland. You are really clueless and dumb for this Vituperations. You are a real Disgrace to Ife. Thats why we need to conduct mental test for you Ilorin Fulani Apologists.

orisirisi

jarus is just an objective person

then he should be investigated and arrested fast

hundreds have die because of the boko haram

rabzy:
No time has drainages been cleared more often and more comprehansively than during Fashola's time. I can mention enough abandoned drainages that he has cleared, expanded and reconstructed. For you to say building a structure on a water way is not a problem shows clearly you have no clue as to what is going on and how to solve it.

If you have really lived in Lagos, when people build on drainages, it is because omo-onile has sold off all the available surrounding lands, streets have been turned to close, and gutters have been sold as shops, so where should the Governor divert the water to? which is cheaper to follow the natural cause of water or to start looking for alternate routes, How many places would you start looking for alternate routes in Lagos, How would you find those routes without destroying houses which has 'committed no sin'.
Madam you need to really chill a bit about your criticism and be more realistic so that we can all learn from it or even the well-thot out ones would be lost to us.

gbammmm thank u

Kobojunkie:
NO! Like I told the other person, water does not have a brain . . . you can make it go where you want it to. That is why there are man-made lakes, dams and reservoirs to collect water for different purposes.

Water does not have to flow to a lagoon as you claim  . . . you can direct the water to floor into tanks if you want. It is water . . . it has no brain to tell the difference - it takes the shape of whatever container you put it into. This is nothing new . .  it is being done all over the world!

ok are u thinking lagos should build the kind of japan underground tank/water space

we simplly cannot afford that and more over why go to that extent when there are natural ways in which the water go and empty itself into the ocean

which by the way is a long term solution rather than building something expanesive only to be the same thing that would kill us again due to human error

Kobojunkie:
By your logic. Eko Atlantic, and more than half of victoria island should be demolished then . . . cause I am guessing you know those structures were build on Natural water paths, or do you not know that? And I am not even touching the other areas that were formerly swamps etc.

ok i see where u are coming from. u did not understand me

majority of the houses in victoria island and co are to be considered as old or so called colonial lands

there is a canal flowing which use to be a stream in makoko, passing through unilag, akoka among others

around jakende or so era makoko was developed and though a part in the canal was sand filled and use to contruct a road that is now destroyed.

the road use was the old road that connects inside yaba akoka area with makoko if u are coming from albert macluly way after okobaba

now nature has reclaim that land i think around 2003 or so

no one can cheat nature

before that even happened, there were accumulation of water in makoko which the government tried to divert but was unsucessful

go to makoko passing through iyana church today u would think it a lake

all this factors come into play especially duing raing season when there is alot of water. the man-made route are not ususlly designe for high volumes of water. thus we hav gutter in nigeria

while the natural route has minerals that can dissolve in the water and thus over the years it can transport and accommodiate more water

Kobojunkie:
So, someone says "illegal structures" and you think of old houses and what nots? Are you sure you have ever lived a day of your life in Lagos before? Cause I find it hard to believe that someone who has would assume that "illegal structures" refers to old colonial structures. 

Look, I think you should stop trying to sell me your nonsense logic at this point as it is obvious you are just trying to do it for the sake of just posting. Offering me bullcrap as you continue to, will not stop me from posting what I know to be the case. . . just so you know.

kobo kobo i knew u no go gree sha

ok did u read and comprehend what i posted because i know it is a bit hard to understand my english (iam working on it)

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=712258.msg8706260#msg8706260 date=1310526524]

you see koboj we are not talking of old houses or building built duing colonal era

what we are talking about are illigal structures built recently but greed people on water routes

what data do u want me to provide "is it a date that shows houses vs water route" this is intuition really

infact people are even building houses on canals[/quote]kobo i have lived in lagos

and i was NOT referring to old structures as illegal i was referring to new buildings

i am not trying to sell anything to u koboj. we were just discussing that's all.

( i mean what is the meaning of all the "bullcrap" and others u are writing"

Kobojunkie:
Let me help you here. He was clear in what he said . . . not sure why you feel the problem is with the existence or none of a thing as natural drainage.

Now, blocking a natural creek is NOT an issue as long as an alternate way is provided. It's done in more than half of locations around the world. These are some of the reasons for contruction of dams, levies, man-made lakes etc.I would even be bold to state that half of the structures in the world today, especially man-constructed, in one way or another obstruct the so called natural way. However, because alternate "ways" are put in place, flooding is averted in many of these places. This is a practice that has been in place since ancient times.

you are correct kobo but all this countries do it because they need to use the land those water bodies are occupying

and even so, they still face this same problem at times and it is resource intensive

instead of all the man-made lake and co why not create space for the water to flow freely

it is cheaper, safer, and better

what do u think koboj

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=712262.msg8706299#msg8706299 date=1310527307]Alj,

I think in the case of Buhari, I can understand where that respondent is coming from.

Study Buhari past and you will see that the guy is an extreme reformer.[/quote]nah duing buhari military era if i recall correctly, u would notice it was idagbon that was doing all the reforms and not buhari

i think it is unfair to label him as an extremist of some sot

but it is ok, he as lost and not GEJ is our president. we should look forward and not backwards

what can GEJ do to stop this rubbish is the question

Pifa:
Actually, Kobojunkie, he was not making up anything. He might not have put his thought in more technical language, but there is such thing as natural drainage. They are called lagoons, rivers, creeks and tributaries, aquifers, lakes and they are nature’s own way of channeling water from one area to another. When you block a narrow creek for example, you disturb the natural flow of water from source to destination. The diverted flow may end up forming a pond elsewhere such that in a heavy storm, the pond accumulates more water and turns into a small canal. This can exacerbate flooding in affected areas.

thank you

Kobojunkie:
And like I told you before . . . . STOP making stories up if you are UNABLE to substantiate them. If you cannot show, with data that structures SUDDENLY started blocking water channels in the last, I don't know, 3 or 4 years, then I suggest you stop trying to sell me that bull argument.

you see koboj we are not talking of old houses or building built duing colonal era

what we are talking about are illigal structures built recently but greed people on water routes

what data do u want me to provide "is it a date that shows houses vs water route" this is intuition really

infact people are even building houses on canals

^^^^^^^^

how can u just hate someone because of his ambition for nigeria

^^^^^^^^

i don't see how this concern buhari

Kobojunkie:
He came in demolishing structures left and right since 2007. Yet the floods situation continued to escalate over those same years. I am all for removing structures that may be blocking claimed drainage ways and all the lot but is this a brash move to calm the air or something?  Would this energy not be better spent on building better drainage systems at this time since it costs money to demolish and that is what he has been doing since day one of office.

no kobo we have had this discussion before

there is what they call natual water way in which water passes throught a particular route because of factors such as the land gradient, soil and rock

also the amount of water

if houses are built in those route and the government build a drainage, it is just the matter of time the water would burst the bank

i don't know but even i and fashola are think the same way

lets see how it goes and for the record, this is the first time the are destroying houses because of water ways

Boko haram, has issued a list of prominent Nigerians it might likely attack, Times of Nigeria reports.


The hit list, which was said to have been obtained on Monday, was sent to the State Security Services in a recorded message format.


Though, the source of the report could not be verified, the list had Vice-President Namadi Sambo topping it.


Others on the list were Emir of Zazzau, HRH Shehu Idris; and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Masari.


The Emir is targeted because, according to the sect, he connived with dubious people to cheat Islam.


The sect’s spokesman, who did not introduce himself, in the recorded message, spoke in fluent Arabic and Hausa and declared that their mission was to fight social injustices perpetrated against muslims in Nigeria.


The spokesman added that not only would the sect kill non-believers, but “also hypocritical muslims who connive to do harm to Islam and muslim.”


Other names, which featured on the list, included that of Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, who allegedly promised President Goodluck Jonathan that regardless of how many lives would be lost, Jigawa State would go to Jonathan during the elections.


Kano State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau, and Niger State Governor, Babaginda Aliyu were also mentioned in the list.
