₦airaland Forum

Toaskarity:
it seems as if the topic should be "is igbo genocide possible"

if ppl actually reads carefully from the begining,a guy named arsec exposed his bigotry against my tribe and his replied quotes wasnt even upto four but immediately an igbo guy backfired.it now sound they are boastful and the topic is now changed to another thing infact someone like alh jarem got what he espected against the igbo but when one igbo guy replied arsenc.the same al jarem asks this is typical Nigeria!

anyway as i always tell ppl before, we dont have to love each other to live peacefully,but the govt can make Nigeria peacful, do you guys think that americans love the black/asians trooping to their country? do europeans love foreigners trooping to their countries or do americans even like themselves? for me i will say No! but this ppl live peacefully (the law is above everyone)because the society is working(govt is working) unlike Nigeria where both the society and the govt is failed!

The topic did not change, as you can see I said "Must you reply". You know arsencfc of a charcter. I mean some one that said " I want to kill my best friend since primary 0" . Can anyone want to kill his best friend from primary zero.

to me that was funny because he was being sarcastic and I do not expect people on the forum to take his words serious.

But soon after Okparaigbo and other started spewing out venom. Why I ask, I believe you do not have to reply to arsencfc of a character and moreover. You do reply hate with hate but instead with love.

don't mind the man

Kudos to my SE brothers and sisters to condemning this act.

chy101:
Almajiri, we are not talking about aboki market where they sell carrot and carbage. Onitsha market was not adjudges the biggest because of its size but because of the huge monetary traffic/volumes and items. Ask any banker in Onitsha, the volume of money they are witnessed on daily basis that will give you a clue of huge population that troops into Onitsha to do one transaction or the other. So as you can see this discourse is for bright minds and it has gone scientific, you can't contribute any meaningful thing here for now

Kumasi market is the largest in west africa

Jankiri market is the largest in Nigeria followed by idumota , then oyingbo then sabon gari which has the largest open market in Nigeria

all this are larger than Onitsha market and i have been to onitsha market, idumota, sabon gari and Idumota

you can also google it urself or go there to find out

nolongTing:
“The informal sector is economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by a government, and is not included in that government's Gross National Product (GNP), as opposed to a formal economy.”

This is what is so funny to me, why bite the hand that feeds you? If the Igbo are as good as the poster claims then I think they should develop the south-East so that Nigeria will become richer.

However you have already admitted that most Igbo businesses are in the “Informal sector”, which means that most of their businesses are illegal and do not pay taxes – this is unhealthy and unacceptable, hence you are claiming that most igbo businesses are parasitic and illegal. Did you not learn this in your Economics 101 course?

LOL you and ekt-bear are still on this thread. I would advice you 2 to leave this thread so south-east/aloy-emeka and others like him can wallow in their ignorance.

chy101:
You are just arguing blindly, who told you that the Igbos are not trading or investing in the East, where do you have the largest commercial center in entire West Africa, if not Onitsha Anambra state

where did you get that from

If onitsha is even the biggest market in Nigeria I would be surprise

sabon gari is even larger than onitsha not to talk of idumota, bojir(ibandan ) etc

stop lying and contiune with ur bigotry

those are politicians for u.

while the people suffer, they give their children the best of everything at the expense of the masses that are paying tax etc

sad

for females

Desola, Ope, Bisi and Oyanda all this are yoruboidnames

Ify, chinwe, Nonye, Ada for the igbos

for Northerners or Muslims we have fatima Habibat

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=773968.msg9279322#msg9279322 date=1317805020]But the truth is and I say this without bias,

The Hausas are the most useless tribe ever formed, Virtually everything about them is wrong, Their language sounds weird, their skin color is weird, their culture and tradition is way to the left of the rest of Nigeria, If we all were to unite and eliminate a tribe, I say we start with the Hausas and fulanis,

Then the Yorubas, I really do not know what added benefit they are to this nation, The dirtiest tribe ever. And they are also very ugly and to mask their uglyness they put marks on their already hideous faces. After we are done with the Northerners, the Yorubas should be next,

Now the rest of the east and the south!! The interesting thing is that the Igbos will end up killing each other, in the end, the middle-belt will have to repopulate the entire Nigeria,

But in the food chain of Nigeria, The Yorubas and the Northerners are at the bottom,[/quote]My brother, why so much hate

how can u describe another human being as such ?

Please tell us what Igbos lack in Nigeria that others like the hausa and yorubas do not lack

is it poverty, development, illiteracy etc you name it. all this ills of our society knows no ethnic group or tribe.

Please reduce ur hate so we can build a better nation.

T8ksy:
And what was it the ikemba saw over 40 years ago that no-one else pointed out then? What was it that compel Ojukwu to drag his people into a

a badly-planned, organised and conducted war? why the haste?

[size=17pt]Neither the sardunna nor Awolowo wanted one nigeria except zik and his people despite the fact that the north have never hidden their intense disdain for the ibos.

The ibos were so desperate for one nigeria that Dr. Zik was prepared to become baggage handler to a mere primary school teacher like Tafawa Balewa!

Moreover, who gave us "One nigeria"? Within 3 months of being in power, the ibos gave us "One Nigeria"![/size]

thank you, this is what i have been waiting for

yet some people call Hausa swines and Yoruba cockroaches

anyway Sai 1 NIGERIA NOW

By SAM EYOBOKA and OLAYINKA LATONA

CONTROVERSIAL Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi caused a stir at the Trinity House in Lagos when he presented an award on Professionalism to 92-year old founder of Nigeria’s oldest indigenous accounting firm, Akintola Williams Deloitte.

Mr. Akintola Williams as part activities marking the nation’s 51st independence anniversary.

Sanusi respectfully stood up to usher the elder statesman to the altar which was specially decor-ated in green-white-green in line with the national mood, where he presented the Trinity House Honour Nigeria Awards in commemoration of the 51st independence anniversary.

Thereafter the Kano prince, born on July 31, 1961, the Sudan-trained Islamic cleric stayed through the church programme barely smiling whenever, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo cracks one of those his infectious jokes. The programme was put together by the Trinity House, a church established by upwardly mobile Pastor Ighodalo who is also a chatered accountant.

The objective, according to him, was to recognize Nigerians of high integrity who have exemplified themselves in different fields of human endeavour and who have contributed to the nation’s growth and development and acknow-ledge them as role models for this present and future generation.

This year’s awards were in the areas of leadership, professionalism, industry, philanthropy, and contrib-ution to society and it was not restricted to Nigeria. Recipients included Chief (Dr.) Chris Ogunbanjo (industry), Chief (Mrs.) Opra Mason Benson (Leadership/female role model); Lt. Gen. Theoph-ilus Danjuma (rtd) (phil-anthropy), Mufutau Isah (contribution to society) and former Zambian presi-dent, Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda who was present-ed the African award.

Former presidential aspirant, Mr. Gamaliel Onosode presented the award to Miss Mosumola Ogunbanjo who represented the father; while Mrs. Opral Benson received her award from Pastor Ighodalo’s wife, Mrs. Ibidunni Ighodalo.

The award for philanthropy was presented to the former Defence Minister, Gen. Danjuma by an Ogun State commissioner, Otunba Ashiru who represented his governor, Dr. Ibikunle Amosun but the entire congregation stood up in acknowledgement of the sterling contribution of the members of Disabled Overhead Bridge Sweepers Association) represent-ed by Mufutau Isah.

The gathering of eminent Nigerians gave a standing ovation when Isah, a 42-year old citizen of Ogun State narrated how he came to Lagos and had taken up the task of making Lagos overhead bridges especially the pedestrian ones clean, saying that they have received assistance from some governmental and church organizations.

The last award was pre-sented to Miss Zikiwe Gogo Peters who represen-ted the Zambian ambassador to Nigeria for onward transmission to the former Zambian president, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda. Speaking on behalf of himself, Gen. Danjuma said he was most humbled to be so honoured for his modest contribution in the area of philanthropy, say-ing that he retired from the Nigeria Army rather early at the age of 41 and dis-covered that there were opportunities in the Niger-ian economy.

“I went into business and after some false starts, I started to make money, good money. So good that it was embarrassing. I then thought of how to give back to the society what the nation had given to me.”

“This accusation, you will agree with me, is not without foundation. The very idea if individual foundation to alleviate poverty among citizens began in Turkey where wealthy army generals started the idea of plowing back to the society what the society had given to them,” he added, stressing that the West actually borrowed the idea from Turkey.

Danjuma then urged Pastor Ighodalo and other Christian leaders in the country to begin to feed the less privileged people in the community, and attempt to rid the nation of derelicts who reduce the unemployment rate in the country.

Pastor Ighodalo, in a brief sermon listed some card-inal ingredients of a good leadership to include, holy living, servant leadership, vision, pointing out that there is too much idolatry, sexual promiscuity, corr-uption and lack of sincerity in the country.

“We must begin to do the right things so that Nigeria can be truly transformed. We must resort to the core values our founding fath-ers canvassed,” he said.

Kudos Akwa Ibom slowly but surly Nigeria will get there

Obiagu1:
I don't gloat over people's predicament. I say what I feel.

What you said was very silly, it's like someone saying Alj_harem is Seun. How does it sound?

So what do you feel. SW people in poverty while the SE people are rich ?

I would like to know what you feel ?

Obiagu1:
South-East = aloy Emeka   Alh haram or what, you're really becoming irritating. How did you come up with that?

How am i becoming irritating ?

Ain't you and your friend more irritating by gloating over people in poverty ? Or is it a thing of pride and achievement in which you two are proud of ?

nolongTing:
[size=18pt]You have moved from "Dirtiness" to "poverty reduction", to "Suicide" - How low can you go? [/size]

nolongting, you really should not be discussing with south-east aka aloy emeka of a person

igbo2011:
This will not work in Nigeria until everyone is Nigeria has an ID and each car license is attached to the ID.

+10

I remember the same in lagos, what happened to it ?

OkparaIgbo:
Shut up Mugu.!! Slow Pokes like you make me laugh. Do you mean the chinedu that wouldnt need more than his left palm to strangle you. From your idiotic comments i already know your one of the ugly and smelly Yorubas that make me hate being with their sorry arses. Your probably not in Nigeria so good for you to remain in what ever country your parents have worked so hard for. If the war was to start i bet your stinky poo arse will be the first to flee.!!

do u hav to reply ?

Beaf:
You seem to pluck arguments straight out of your anus. Sometimes one wonders if you are properly aware of current events, or if you can even read well enough to tackle newspapers.

Balarabe Musa, Ciroma, Kaita etc are all bigots.

Beaf Not support Jonathan presidency does not equate to ethnic bigotry. I brought out an example for u to see.

Beaf you can not label people ethnic bigot just because they do not support Jonathan presidency. I mean he has not said anything patenting Jonathan ethnicity or "Jonathan is the worse president because he is Ijaw"

A lot of Kanuris spoke bad of Abacha leadership, does that mean they were ethnic bigots. Certainly not

arsenefc:
Let me tell you a lil about myself. My best friend's name is Chinedu. And you know what, I have always dreamt of killing Chinedu since I was in primary 0. If Hotel Rwanda type scenario were to occur in Nigeria, the first person I'd kill is Chinedu. I will show no mercy. Why? Because Chinedu is Ibo and I hate Ibos.

this guy, ur jokes are expensive you know

Nnenna1:
First of all - Why are you following me around?

answer the question if u are being honest with yourself

Beaf:
Balarabe Musa is a backward ethnic bigot not worth the trouble. He is in the same category as Ciroma and Kaita, angry and unwise old men.

so not supporting Jonathan = ethnic bigotry ?

so yorubas that did not support OBJ also = ethnic bigotry against their person

Not everyone would like Jonathan, you need to understand that, but that does not mean they are ethnic bigots

lagcity:
haba, Mai Gida! don't you fear God? have u ever been to Imo state b4. pls stop the propaganda.

So he was a hero then ?

and that is why he was not relected

[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=774664.msg9277098#msg9277098 date=1317763718]@Beaf,
I think you'r worse than Ibori! You pedal falsehood and defend criminal with such zeal the likes of Ibori,Uduaghan can only dream off.[/quote]that is 1 think i don't understand about beaf

if some was a thief, why try to protect him ?

it is very sickening when Nairalanders try to protect Tinubu, IBB, ibori and co. clearly, their work would speak for them

[quote author=Mai-suya link=topic=774979.msg9277081#msg9277081 date=1317763554]By the way am not too familiar with ohakims achievement perhaps u can educate us more,[/quote]the man was a villain that sucked Imo state dry

One question

Why would the ex -president write a letter to the president ?

If he want to communicate to Jonathan, he would probable use the phone or see him in person.

Rubbish report IMO

Nnenna1:
So you woke up this morning and getting even with Igbos was on your mind? ROFL!

Sane people will NEVER open a thread to bash anyone out of spite because it is silly and childish.

Enjoy your so-called revenge. This is last time I'm responding to or entertaining this obvious rubbish.

Nnenna, you get too worked up about all this threads. really is it worth it ?

This thread is not bashing Igbos at all.

lagcity:
chei see ibo vampires on the thread like Mr Beaf would say, can i offer you guys a cup of fresh bat blood?

don't mind south-east, chino11 and co

but I would love to think it is only some of them that think this way

of course south-east aka aloy-emeka is an ingrate and tribalistic doluwa

chino11 aka chy101 is just a psycho that is obsessed with anambra

chy101:
You can't possibly say that they are both poor, because even the poorest village in the SE can compete favorably with the type of state capitals you have in the SW. I have been to ondo town, akure, ibadam the story is the same. Its the same mud houses all the way, poor planning. What I saw in the SW is pour linear settlement, where people build houses on the road with proper environmental planning and no good road network. You hardly find one modern building in the whole of akure or ibadan the state capitals. Its not funny

calm down, I don't believe SW or Ibadan is in any competition with SE or Onitsha.

White007:
Oh Sorry, I am out in a jiffy. Didn't know this thread was open for you Fulani/Hausa warriors. 

hausa/fulani warriors

when the title said Nigerians

anyway, what is ur take ?

[quote author=Mai-suya link=topic=774979.msg9276811#msg9276811 date=1317760828]I agree SLS has a strong character and so far looks incorruptible, buf fashola is a better politician who better understand the murky waters of 9ja politics[/quote]I agree with you. Also I would just like to add

I don't think Ngozi got what it takes to rule this country.

Infact looking at Rochas now, he is not a bad candidate at all. Although I would not want him to be the president, probably VP to fashola or Sanusi.

Rochas looks more like a philanthropist than a progressive. What I mean is that, he is a good person with a good heart but does not look like a planner per-say

Ngozi does not tick it for me

I would go for fashola as he is the best candidate around. SLS is not bad as well

arsenefc:
Do you have a job? have you ever held any kind of job in your life?


What would happen to you if you do not show up for work?

The famous actor Woody Allen once said that "80% of success is showing up. Aregbe isnt showing up at all. In saner countries, leaders lead by example. He is not leading at all.

Fstranger I am with you and i don't really like that ojuyobo but what is wrong in osun and lagos politics been intermixed ?

U right on federalism. The power at the center needs to be reduced ASAP. I believe it will reduce the message of hatred. The idea that people can not survive without oil is a big lie. Oil money ends up in elites' pocket as it is.[/quote]Thank you. The north , SW and SE have never survived on oil before the 50's and they all did well even better than today.

The country was thrown into civil war because of oil

hate for different ethnic group because of oil

MEND, ijaw vs itsekiri vs urhobo etc because of OIl. Abeg all this should just end and federalism should start
