Great. You guys continue swapping stories while your house goes up in flames.

you must not say something if you have nothing important to say.

ziddy:
^^

Ndigbo check yourselves before you wreck yourselves. Nothing to be gained by passing off these crimes as 'Ngwa' crimes. Some people have even started stylishly suggesting that the 'Ngwas' may no be Ibos.

The current system of Government will not respond properly to this ugly issue until the Ndigbo elders speak-up & put pressure on them. And other Regions are not going to fight your battles for you. That has been the current selfish trend in Nigeria of today.

My friend keep quiet.Did anyone blaim other ethnic groups here

Abagworo:
Owerri is very safe.Most of Nigeria did not know the level of atrocities in Aba.The bakassi boys killed more than 30,000 people but only those that saw it know.most of those people were petty thieves or innocent people.When people realised a tip of the iceberg was the case of the container in which 20 people died just because it was reported.I know almost the entire cities in Nigeria.Aba can only be compared with Benin in terms of crime as well as the involvement of the indigenes.As for Ikenegbu,Aladinma,works nothing dey happen there[b].I grew up at Ikenegbu when we had sumo,lotto,piano stores and some street bad boys that obtained.I can remember one called Egwuatu.[/b]

Guy e like like say be older guy .i no know where egwuatu dey now self.however the aladinma,ikenegbu and works self u knew in the 80s and 90s no be the same again.sometimes i feel that imsu wey dey locate there no just good at all.

master2:
@ asha, let the guy the deceive himself.I'm from Edo and i'v leave most of my life in the north. Apart from religious crisis i feel self in the north than when i'm in my own state. My friend just came back from the east and was complaining that by 8pm "ppl don enter house" and street becomes "dry".

When it comes to crimes anyway the north is usually safer than south.

slap1:
I was in Owerri last week. The place is serene, as ever. The people are mostly civil servants, so you might mistakenly say they are lazy. As a matter of fact I'm moving over there tomorrow or next.

Guy i was born and brought up in owerri so i know that town wella.that the fact that it is seen as a civil service town does not mean criminal elements no dey cause trouble there.when i say they are lazy i mean they are generally laid back.

hackney:
I was in owerri in july; what are on about??
Aba traders now comute from owerri; are you even aware of that?
Were you there when their bankers went on strike?
can you tell me why that was? ? ?

My friend go and sit down.

My friend keep quiet!Do you think you can move around aladinma(where i grew up),ikenegbu and evnvirons which are usually seens as cool areas in owerri at night or even evening without the fear of gun wielding young man or touts hounding you?You were in owerri for probably one month and all is well,u dey mad?

you think kidnapp no dey happen for owerri( even though aba own is higher)?because nobody don kidnap person wey u no for owerri abi?

you think this is the owerri you grew up in the 80s and early 90s

which owerri dey serene wey people go just enter mbari kitchen shoot person die in the afternoon and have the patience to look at everyone around and ask 'usu o nwere onu!'.my friend go siddon for gutter.

hackney:
Aba has been the worst place in Nigeria for the past few years,

They have for over a decade now,concurrently had the very worst governors nigeria has ever seen. i'm talking about people that were known thugs becoming governors! !
(Orji kalu actually made the motor parks his private property in his time).
The city in general introduced fake goods world-wide ;They are lazy and the igbo get-rich-quick syndrome is
actually an ABA thing (for the info of those not from the east)

The road medians are heaps of rubbish of up to 5 ft running the entire length of major roads.
The schools have no teachers nor windows and most of the traders have relocated to owerri.
(i hope they dont mess up my serene town).

The armed robbers are predominantly ngwa boys who are lazy and hardened from their human butchering
persuations.

Their indigienes also account for over 90% of all the kidnappers in the entire east ;
My uncle has been kidnapped twice in Abayi ! !
i despice them greatly.

trash talk.

if they are lazy then owerri people are 3x lazy.

when last did you visit owerri to call it a serene town.

texazzpete:
It will solve EVERYTHING.
I hope they re-introduce public firing squads for kidnappers, ritual killers and armed robbers.

it would not solve anything.

ChinenyeN:
Asha, I did state that my view may be lacking, and my understanding, not that encompassing. I also stated that I'm speaking based off what I've seen, heard, read, observed, etc. So I don't know everything, and I don't know the whole picture, but from the much I gather, I made those statements. And its like I said, others are free to correct me, wherever they feel I am wrong. I have no problem with that, because I'm not all-knowing. I reside in the diaspora.

So, I'm sure others have a clearer view of the issues, or a different angle of insight, which I do not possess. I've acknowledged all that, but I'm still saying, what I posted are just my thoughts, from the much that I have gathered; from the much I know. I already acknowledged that I don't have all the details, although I am interested in finding them out.

ok

johndoe200:
This is one of the silliest posts I have read on NL. Do you know the difference between a governor and a president? Are you just ignorant or just congenitally impaired? In a federal system, the president will only react in a local matter after he or she has been briefed by the governor of the state , police and other security officials.
Also you should stop insulting our president, did you steal money with him? How do you know he is a thief? The next time you feel embarrassed by this country, ask me I will give you a list of the UN workers despoiled in South Africa in their hotel rooms.

Nonsense!!!!!!!!

The problem is that what is practised in nigeria is unitary system masqurading as federal system

ChinenyeN:
I could better explain them with some examples.

---- Regarding the issue of lawlessness in Ngwaland, the Ngwa seem to be putting their faith and hope in Johnathan to rectify the issue. I attended our most recent Ngwa convention and I listened in on some of the discussions that the adults were having. The only real effort that has been made so far is to write letters upon letters to Johnathan and draw up petitions to T.A. Orji, requesting government assistance, and then waiting for their responses. Virtually no talks about 'on the ground' efforts, by the Ngwa themselves to resolve the problem (there has been news about recent efforts by Onicha Ngwa community, but I don't have all the details).

---- In my discussions with, and observations of, other Igbo (and their discussions), there seems to be an increasing number of people setting their sights toward presidency. At the moment, it is Johnathan. People seem, at least to me, to be wondering how 'pro-Igbo' Johnathan really is. Even now, while focus is still on Johnathan, there are a number of people, such as Onlytruth & Kosovo, who are actively engaged on discussing an Igbo president. It is as if they seem to believe that we cannot effectively do for ourselves, until we put 'one of our own' in the office.

It all just seems to strike me as a high, or overly high dependency on government. To some, my understanding might seem lacking, and honestly, yeah, if my understanding is indeed lacking, then I can admit that. I can admit that my view may not be all that encompassing, but I'm just simply stating my thoughts based on the much I have witnessed and observed.

Others are free to correct me, wherever they feel I am wrong.

if you understand the structure and way nigeria is run you will understand that pattern of thinking(although i do not think in that direction).

by the way how do you think the ngwa themselves or onicha ngwa are going to confront kidnappers that weild war like guns?with matchetes or pistols?local vigilantes are almost always banned by insensitive governments when they sprout up because of the inept ability of police because they are seen to take law into their own hands(meanwhile government is not doing anything about the criminals)

If you must know the the police on ground take orders from IG of police in abuja and not from the gorvernor of a state.it is like LAPD taking orders from washington.

On the igbos waiting for government to help themselves people from other ethnic group will actually laugh at that kind of thinking.whom do you think built imo airport?government?Does an averge igbo person wait for quota from government to do something for himself?

some states give their students bursary or even schorlaship to study in university even abroad.have you ever heard an igbo state doing so?how many igbo people have you seen that rely on government patronage to survive?

guy think well

ChinenyeN:
Igbo; [What I Think Is] Our Problem

- Too much time spent on [what I believe to be] trivial matters
- The increasingly pervasive "With Us/Against Us" mentality
- Too much effort spent (by some) on attempting to forge what simply isn't necessary and/or what simply shouldn't be
- [What seems to me to be] an overly high dependency on government
Just My Thoughts.

Care to explain that one?

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=521092.msg6835061#msg6835061 date=1285663497]First and foremost,these set of people are neither illiterate nor ignoramus as you claimed,they are elders and their proclamation on IBB is in order.
It is an insult to yoruba for Ibb is allowed into yorubaland to come and campaign but to also dispute history.Ibb is a taboo to us ! [/quote]Didn't awolowo campaing in the north after calling northerners illiterates and not fit to be on the same level with him or something like that?

Jarus:
I hate hearing arguments like this
Point to a Nigerian player that deserved it and was not given. Please don't tell me Okocha played better than Eto'o in 2003-2005.
When Nigerians were dominating it(Rashidi 1993, Amuneke 1994, Kanu 1996, Ikpeba 1997, JJ 2nd by one vote in 1998, kanu 1999 - 5 years in a row, only Weah came in 1995 & Hadji 1998, others were Nigerians), was it not the same Hayatou that was there.

The earlier we realize that our football, and players, has suffered serious decline and we are now only in the class of[b] Zambia, Mozambique, Benin Republic, the better for us.[/b]

There is something seriously wrong with that aba axis.Anyway these problems have been brewing for as long as i can remember since 80s.

amazonia:
@asha,
Yes the osadebeys, like other original indigence of the area are of Edo origin
The ancient Bini-empire encompasses those geographic territories. So in the
event of the demise and fragmentation of present day Nigeria, we the Edos
will reconstitute our old Bini-kingdom. Asaba, Agbor, ogwashu-uku etc are
bonefieled part of Edo heritage.

keep dreaming.same people you call owe igbo?

moreover the osita osadebe i wrote there is from atani in anambra state so i wonder how he has bini ancestry.

amazonia:
@op
Don't mind them, there is something psychologically wrong with some of this Igbo fellows.
Could this be due to resdue of the after effects of the civil war? They seems to have a
peculiar need for revisionism. May be is due to their guilty consciences for causing the
calamities that befell them. Re-versing historic facts won't help, others have account
and records other than the Igbo. There are no Igbo homeland west of the Niger. Igbo
west of the Niger river are migrant worker/dwellers. Osadebey is not an Igbo name.

i wonder whether osita osadebe's fore father's were bini?

Well, considering the standard in the community I live in, he is undereducated as to be considered educated, one has to be able to read, right and communicate effectively.

Funny comment

Compare maradona's touches on course to that goal and Said Owairan touches that led to his goal.If you remember just before Owairan reached the keeper a belgian defender's leg touched the ball and it seems deflect the ball a little back to Owairan's feet.

Off course maradona dribbled past Shilton and scored but Owairan shot the ball into the net.

Also remember maradona's deft 180 degrees turn to displace 2 english guys when he got the ball from enrique.

What makes maradona's goal special was the tournament and stage in that tournament where the goal was scored.Messi scored a similar if not identical goal like maradona but in the copa del ray against an average team.

I wonder if the UCL would have been glamorous today if the Bosman ruling did not come into effect.

Secondly to many club matches is beginning to affect players prefomance in summer tournaments these days(world cup,uero cup,copa america)

ice234:
more names of thoe without world cup medal
van der sar, cech, toldo, maldini, nedved, deco, eto, kanu, ferdinand, evra, so mch.
all here excpt cech has an ucl medal
thisis to show u dat there are more winnes in ucl than world cup

I wonder if it should not be common sense since UCl is held every year and Wc every 4 years.

amingafar:
I consider muslim yorubas my brothers - "Northerners" dont attack muslim yorubas, its mainly people who are of hausa extraction, sometimes fulanis but mainly hausas. [b]They see the muslim yorubas as a force that can divide the north. [/b]

You wont find Gwari, Nupe, Bororo, Kanuri, igalla, etc fighting with muslim yorubas.

how does that change the fact that they are from the north and that they are muslims

amingafar:
I said if you dont want to be a target in the north maybe converting to islam will help I didnt say they had to.


than I cant vote for you

muslim yorubas that are attacked in the north when you guys loose your mind they are are not muslims abi?

You should be more worried about the hoard of illiterate almajiris you guys are producing daily.

amingafar:
1 islam

2 because they are in the north

is this supposed to be a joke?

why aren't the northern muslims not cajoled to become christians in the south east and south south?

amingafar:
i didnt say igbos should become muslims i said maybe they should convert and the women start wearing hijab.

convert to what exactly?

and why should women wear hijabs?

Yeah passing vote of no confidence from a debilitated school building filled with crickets. 'hiss'

TewMuch:
;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d :p

I hope you know that this picture is Micheal okpara square in enugu and not eagles square abuja.

I actually watched the declaration on AIT.Guys the attendance was quite huge make no mistake about it.

However i saw a story here on nairaland that Niger state Governor Babangida Aliyu has backed out of supporting IBB but i saw him at the eagle square giving a eulogising speech of IBB.So who carried the false story?
