Andre Uweh:
Sorry, I was replying Asha80. His reply to my post looked insultive.

Because you brought it on yourself.I have never felt like saying this kind of things to you even when we hotly disagreed on the zoning nonsense of Imo state governoship that brought in an outright idio"t in Ikedi Ohakim but this thread has really riled me up.

Onlytruth:
I'm not comfortable with this thread.

Bro Andre, wetin bro [b]Beaf [/b]do na?

We want Anioma state, no doubt, but Beaf is not fighting it.
No need for this at all.

Exactly.

Andre Uweh:
My brother, do not insult me for coming up with a rebuttal to lies about my people.  Some folks in Delta Igbo region are quick to buy lies told them by enemies of Ndigbo.

Allow them let them buy it now.Why are you giving yourself headache when the people you are giving your headache to does not seem to care.

Like i said go back to that thread and deal your issues with beaf rather open another thread for another round of st^upid ethnic bashing.

Andre Uweh:
Anya bewe, imi ebewe (Igbo proverb). What affects one Igbo in the West affects the other Igbo in the east.

Not when they are not pulling their own weight.What if anyone of them comes here now and says he or she is ok with the status quo what then happens?

tpiah wey that ur picture for your profile na

Andre Uweh:
It is an established fact Ndigbo are the majority in Delta state. They deserve a state of their own.
If you are in support of a state for Ndigbo in Delta state, please represent.
Anioma shall be.

Then allow the so called aniomas to make noises for it for others to support.

EzeUche:
I am not displaying anything. This is a history lesson for all the naysayers of the Aro Igbo. Aro Igbo history is rich and should not be forgotten. And this thread also correct past statements concerning the Aro Igbo.

Which past statements about aro is this thread disputing?

Aro history is rich.Did anybody say otherwise?

I never believed i will type this but Andre you are danm too old for this.If you have issues with beaf on another thread then take him on that thread.All these attention seeking topics are getting annoying.

Or better allow the aniomas to battle their fate in delta.

Funny how someone that says we should get over clannishness is here dis[laying it at its fullest.

i wonder why we waste our time celebrating 'non nigerians'.

chiogo:
LOL that nigga raw, I thought it was an acronym that stands for something.

Anyway, the name is dumb.

It is an acronym.

nigga-naija guy anakpo raw

ha!

Ibime:
hehehehe. . . I go soon change your name to Linus. . . . so you mean that Manoel de Brito Filho studied with you in Owerri. . . .hmmm

Chineke this looks like the Obinna i know i was talking about .However this is certainly the Obina i saw on dstv but with his real name now shown to me by you i back down my argurement.

Ibime:
State creation is only a problem in the presence of corruption.

In the absence of corruption, it is desirable. Sociologists beleieve that the smaller the unit, the better the Government.

I can agree to that when those smaller units generate their own revenue to run their affairs rather than running to abuja to beg for funds.

Ikengawo:
some of the faces on the nigerian currency are of figures that the nigerian populace generally detest, and i dont think this is right since they imposed their own image on them when they were dictating the nation.
some faced i'd like to see replace some of the dubious ones are


Fela Kuti
MKO Abiola
Ken Saro Wiwa
Awolowo
Nkem Akunyili
Ribadu


and Gowon, Babangida and Abacha removed

Are you a nigerian 

is this supposed to be a joke 

Which naira notes that we have pics of Gowon,Babangida and Abacha on it 

By the way Awolowo is on 100 naira note

AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH Beaf. . . Thanx man. You have made my day!

Beaf:
And you are so fcked up its like talking to a donkey, maybe you actually need a lamp to look for your brain. Damn!
First you tell us you are an American that can observe Nigerians from afar, then you end it with "you people".

You say you are an American. Have you ever witnessed US governors trooping to the White House for monthly wages to run their states?
You see that in Nigeria and you don't think it is strange for governors to run to Abuja every month. No, instead in your massive foolishness, you conclude that corruption is the reason Nigerians are poor? Have you ever heard of "chain of responsibly?" If the governors get free money from Abuja, they don't have to do nada and they are responsible Abuja, rather than to the people.

Our false federal structure is the reason the country is under developed. And it is because the country is under developed that the people are poor. It is as easy as two plus two for Christ sake!
Corruption is a bad thing, but it doesn't make countries poor, otherwise Italy would not be in the G8. Poor state structures, lack of organisation and the lack of developmental institutions are what make countries like Nigeria poor.

PS: I bet you you just searched google for those pics and you have never been to those places (you don't talk like someone that has set foot in Nigeria). Olodo. American donkey.

You know beaf i keep telling people that naija will not likely change as we want it to change until free money from the centre is stopped.States should(and can)generate their own revenue even including states that are classified as poor.

One the reasons why a lot of the governors in nigeria are who they are is because of the free money they get from abuja.This kind of arrangement attracts the criminally minded in the society.Like i always say as the country is saying it wants to fight corruption it has to create and enviroment that 'discourages' corruption so that the fight against corruption would be much easier.

Like you also said italy despite being amongst the most developed countries has a history of corrupt individuals but the system of governance there discourages it.

Left to me self LGA should not be allocated any money.They should generated their own revenue.

EzeUche22:
Aba is a dirty place. I was there in January. Trashy city but that is expected of a commercial city. It is not meant to look clean, but to be profitable.

Forget that yarn.New york is a profitable city but cannot be regarded as trashy.

Aba situarion can only be solved by the indegenes and residents.

However this can only be done by someone who cherishes aba with all his life and not some governor as since the ouster of Mbakwe no military administrator or Governor has taken that town seriously.

I find it quite amusing that you guys seem to to see these colunmnists as some kind of saints because they write what the masses want to hear in their write ups.

mbulela:
which of them was among the crowd of 40 that collected transport money from Minna?

Ijeoma Nwogwugwu

Ibime:
There was another Brazilian Kanu before this one sef. . . obviously an after effect of Atlanta 96 when Kanu taught the Brazilians a lesson. . .


Brazilian Obinna is spelt Obina. . . . you probably mean Victor Obinna Nsofor who was once played in Brazil with Internacional. . .

Ibime it is not Obinna Nsofor.I have seen the face of the Obinna'Obina' in a match shown on dstv.He went to my secondary school and i am aware of when he travelled to Brazil.The 'Obina' written os his shirt is immaterial

12large:
no i think there is kanu in brazil, is just like one player called Obina his also brazilian

that Obinna is actually a nigerian.he went to my secondary school in owerri.

Onlytruth:
That is the spirit. I don't know what folks gain from all the autonomous community nonsense. Unity is strength.

[size=14pt]Igboland is ONE![/size]

You have to give room for those who feel otherwise though.I actually believe abagworo's definition.

Onlytruth not only nnewi people. I suspect that the mbaise people do not really bother themselves much with autonomous community or clannish arrangement.They seem to embrace themselves whether aboh,ahiazu or ezinihitte.In not for the fact of the present 'allocation sysndrome' we are practising i suspect the mbaise local council would have remained one and quite formidable if local council were to generate their own revenue for the running of their council.

ok ^^^ i thought you felt Chinenye is a lady,

RichyBlacK:
EzeUche22,

Since ChinenyeN is my in-law, he is protected by Forum of Igbo Nairaland Elders (FINE). Nobody is beating him up, not even you.

Ogom ChinenyeN, atufuru ndi Aro onu, i bu nwa ada anyi.

[quote author=invisible! link=topic=499503.msg6598611#msg6598611 date=1282199867]Its better you speak english to them early, they are going to learn it later anyway, so why not start now. They will pick up the local dialect in the school, social settings. I think speaking english early helps them settle into academics and accept the already regular words early. That's why kids now seem more clever than before.[/quote]

mehn this is daft reasoning.which kids are clever?so speaking english makes one clever abi?

by the way who is going to teach them local dialect in school?the same kids in their class that also come to the school speaking english?or the teachers that say no vernacular

i keep telling people kids btw 0 to 8 yrs can learn to speak 3 to 4 languages without confusing one for the other.

ChinenyeN:
First, I want to say that I agree with the view that 9jaganja put forth. BUT, if they insist on going forth with this, then I hope they understand that they simply can't just relocate a people like that. They must also properly accommodate and provide them reparations. Do they have the budget for that? Do they monetarily have what it takes to properly execute this project? They have to keep in mind that this is a people's land they are just ransacking like this. It will raise deep sentiment, and more especially, it'll intensify this Igbo-Ijaw situation.

How will it intensify igbo-ijaw situation if 'igbos' are not involved?
