[size=16pt]Op,
You are either a bloody liar or you are deliberately mischievous by misquoting what the man told you.

Your heart is so dark with tribalism that you have concluded he hates yoruba or hausa because his preferred mechanic is Igbo. you conveniently forgot that people have their preferred mechanic, the way they have preferred doctors. Sometimes, it's simply a matter of who they trust or who has a deep knowledge of the issue with their machine.

BTW,
Igbos have asked to leave the bloody zoo and you lazy bums that cannot live without them are busy blocking them and finding every reason to justify the wicked unity of the hateful hellhole of a country.[/size]

i think u dont get it. d situation was an emergency one. he was taking me down to my shop while his okada broke down. A MECHANIC WAS ABOUT ABOUT 15 FT AWAY FROM HIM. jst to call him to check on it mayb na small sharp sharp fixable problem na wahala. i have to stay wit him coz i was initially wit no change. so we branched at a nearby petrol station to buy 1 litre to split d money. no much money for me to take anoda okada like dat.

guy, i experienced dis n nt u. i am nt misquoting anytin ooo. nobody is saying he hates d yorubas, wat i am saying is dat his action was strange to me from a tribe dat always claim dat they are d one others are sidelining frm d nigerian society.d man was even smiling at me coz i was like dis is shit!

guy, i experienced dis n nt u. i am nt misquoting anytin ooo. d man was even laughing at me coz i was like dis is shit! i

An okada man who is an igbo man was to take me from omisanjana street to odo-ado street Ado-Ekiti. unfortunately his okada broke down along the way-little away from the road that leads to ekute quarters. We got down from the okada n i told him to let us take it to a nearby okada mechanic. His responce was shocking to me. He said he would take his okada to his igbo brother, a mechanic. I asked him where? He said a little far from here. I asked him how? He said he would wave to other okada men (majorly yorubas ) to tow him down to the place. I was like WTF! going through all these when an okada mechanic is over there. i asked him what is wrong with the (yoruba) mechanic over there? He laughed n said nothing is wrong with him just that he likes his igbo brothers (if he had said that d yoruba mechanic is not good enough, i would have reason with him). i left very disappointed at dis particular igbo man. This incident makes me take a closer look at the behaviour of our self proclaimed marginalized brothers.

From an average igbo man perspective, the yorubas are jelouse of them, hausas hate dem, the middle belt people dislike them, the Edos detest dem. All they could see is dat they are hated by other tribes but never think that something might be wrong wit dem if truly the whole nigeria except an igbo hates the igbo man. Even their so called partners (the south southerners) are dissociating demselves from u guys. d question is: who is d problem?

I dont know about any other tribe, but i must confess to u guys dat we the yorubas love you.we've always do and we will forever love you. in yoruba land, many of ur children attended UI, OAU, FUTA, UNILAG,EKSU etc contested for political posts, from departmental to faculty to SUG level and in some occasions, won. Most of the Pioneer top university officials of FUOYE are igbos- starting from the VC Professor Chinedu Nebo.
The current chairman of my street is an igbo man. He was also the former Secretary/accountant/treasurer. Igbos in one way or another are represented in one social-political-association key positions in d SW. They are even voted into state house of assemblies, as senators and honourables to represent d yorubas at d federal level. They even enjoy chieftaincy titles.

The most annoying fact is dat most of these things enjoyed by them in d SW are not reciprocated to d yorubas in d SE. I can bet all i have dat no yoruba man is near to d post of a street chairman (except of course he is very rich) talkless of political post in d SE. "Dey never born d yoruba man wey go think to contest for d post of an ordinary counselor talkless of a whole senator. Even in their accademic institutions as a student; to contest na dont even try am." as said by a friend based in Onisha. My question is who is marginalizing who?

Once upon a time in d political history of this country, igbos were a major force to reckon wit. They were vibrant and popular in major sectors including the nigerian military. In fact d firt coup in dis country was carried out by the igbos. But now, they claimed to have been marginalized political, socially even from the civil service. d thing is, what change? Democracy came in. There is no more have it by force. U have to be popular to have it now.
One thing i want my igbo brothers to understand is dat Nigeria is a multi-ethnic country. You guys are 18%, yorubas 21% and d hausas 30%. Others made up d remaining 31%. 18% cant vote out 82% . Dis is democracy for crying out loud-majority carry d vote. You guys should form alliances wit other tribes. If u detest d yorubas dat much, form a formidable partnership with d middle belt who to a reasonable extent repel d hausas influence. Partner wit d Edo people and superglue ur cracked relationship wit d urobos, ibibios and other tribes in the SS. you can even challenge for d minorities in d north e.g the hausa-christians. Jonathan was voted in with a landslide. Oga buari has been consistently contesting for d presidential seat since 101BC. Even when d whole almajiris voted for him under d flagship of CPC. Jona defeated him hands down. his dream came true after he formed a good alliance with d SW. So wetin b una excuse? Rochas is doing his best to make dis happen under the flagship of APC; he suddenly became the public enemy no.1 of the igbos. My question is how will an igbo man become president if you dont want anything to with d hausas, yorubas, tivs, igbiras, igalas,Edos etc?

To d best of my knowledge, i think you-d igbos are d people marginalizing yourselves from this country and not the other way round.

lastly, please leave out d yorubas from ur socio-political problems. Yorubas are also a minority like you in dis country.we are just 21%. we are dis big because we are smart enough to open our eyes vividly to see real things and not fictions so as to adjust our default settings to solutions to our reality at every fucking time.
I beleive you urselves know dat dat d best ethnic group for u in dis country is d yorubas. And i am very sure dat all of una love us-una just dey pretend so say d opposite. It is the two us of dat can co-exist d best in dis country. So make all of una stop the hypocrisy ooooooo. Jst my observations.

very surprise to see dis thread!
i cant believe a well informed/educates nigerian or individual anywhere in d world can ask dis unrasonable question.

And i have to believe dat d opp knows very little or nothing about evonomics or just a tribal bigot.

If d opp is talking from foreign exchange perspective, cocoa, cotton,rubber,yam,gold generates d highest foreign exchange for the country after the oil sector wc are produced in large quantities in d SW of which SE produces majorly palm kernels n other palm related products wc are also produced in SW. after d SS, d SW produces d highest amount of dollars for ur pple to import fake/hazardous products into d country.

if d opp is talking from d perspective of income generation for d government in terms of taxation n commerce, d SW is d no. one in Nigeria
the major indigenous companies in d country are owned mostly by SW. most commercila banks, indegenous oil companies, telecommunications company, IT companies are owned n controlled by SWesteners which generates revenues for d government in form.of taxes.

d busiest airport n seaports in d country is located in d SW wc generate more money for d government dan any other ports in d country.

most indegenous n foreign companies alike are located in d SW of which d government do tax.

SE contributes almost nothing to foreign exchange in dis country.

most of d petty commercial activities by d igbos in lagos n neighboring SW states contributes almost nothing to d government. how many igbo shops do d government tax?

most of ur contributions to dis contry comes from only from importation which are made possible by d foreign exchange earned by d SS n SW respectively.

n d fact is if there are no igbos to trade on SW yorubas n other ethnic groups will dod trading.

n note dat not only igbos import stuff in dis country. most things imported into d country by d igbos are substandard.........fake things.

i have to admit dat u guys are hardworking ppl but dont think for once dat without u guys Lagos wont b d lagos we know 2day. yorubas will do their trading demselves if u did not exist.

Most muslims will disagree with the bold.
We've established that the Bible can be abused like the Koran to perpetrate acts of violence and others. And like you pointed out, most people including me can convincingly disprove claims made by abusers. And this is what most Muslims who try to defend Islam against abusers try to do.

I don't know much about the teachings of Islam or the content of the Koran, but the Muslims I've seen defending Islam always say their prophet taught peace.

I think this is how it went down (from what I've read). At the beginning, the prophet mohammed weighed war to conquer lands and make more people accept the teachings of Islam. Then he passed on the teachings in written form (the Koran). And this teaching, a peaceful one, is what Muslims are suppose to follow. Those who are trying to weigh war in the name of following prophet mohammed are simply abusing Islam's history.

And I said the same thing happened in christianity. At the onset, as seen in the old testament, wars were fought, people were killed. Then Jesus came and gave us a message of peace and love, followed by his apostles. People still abuse the old testament teachings and stories today.

At the beginning, the prophet mohammed weighed war to conquer lands and make more people accept the teachings of Islam

christianity simply means christ-like. i.e xtians follow christ's actions. my point here is simple what mohammed did is propotional to terrorism. n dat is wat his rafical followers are doing today because dey believe dat everytin he did was sactioned by God.

if jesus had waged war during his life time, believe me 'radical xtians' will also follow his footstep.

the point here is nt abt GOD, it is abt christianity n islam founded by jesus n mohammed respectively. the bible n koran are jst story books jst follow the actions of there various role models( the main actors) n judge.

Mrreed:
all what you wrote are baseless fabrications.
if u really wanna knw d religion that promotes hatred, its Christianity.

hw ar they baseless?
ar they nt events dat really took place?
please if u want to post anytin, bring up ur reasonable opinion, reasons and facts. all i see is someone with notin to say

nnannaidoko:
. Please, go through history and see the carnage that has been caused by people in the name of Christianity and other religions. Do not be shortsighted because of hate and bias.

u guys dont seem to understand the point here. in everytin even in technology there will b psychos taking advantage of it. but d questn is hw suceptible d thing is.

i can say it categorically dat no christain can commit an act of terrorism and back it up using the "teachings and actions of jesus christ to support it" but dis cannot b said of isam. all act of terrorism can b supported with many actns of mohammed.

harristo:
Guy wake up the same thing that happened in Islam's history also happened in Christian's.
The christian history is also one that's filled with repeated war and violence.

If you look at the old testament in the Bible you will see God leading people to war against their neighbor who were judged to be sinners and deserving to be killed.

Do you know how many thousand's of people God's people in the Bible killed.
But we as christians are taught that Jesus came to give us a new law, a new way to follow, one that isn't about violence.

And I believe that Islamic religion is the same. Just as christians are asked to live by the teaching of Jesus and not to emulate the action of old testament warring folks whose main task was to plunder, kill and plunder, the muslims are admonished to follow the teachings of prophet mohammed which is a way of peace.

And just as someone or group of people like America can come wage war in the name of following the Bible's teachings in the old testament thereby abusing the Bible, so also someone or group can kill and take likes in the name of following the Koran's teaching, when the Koran actually didn't teach them to do such.

guy understand xtianity n islam first. in those days, the dominant religeon was the jewish religeon-which was d believe in one God. most events in d old testament almost correspond to mst events in d quran. evrytin changes with the miraculous conception of jesus christ and the sudden call of mohamed by God. the preaching and the teachings of jesus is the basis of xtianity while d teachings and preaching of mohammed is d basis of islam. nw d questions is "does terrorism correspond to d teachings and practices of mohammed?" frm my personal knowledge, the answer is YES.

during the dark ages in europe. the church took advantage of xtian populatn n enslave dem. some educated xtians stood up n fight d church with the preavhing n teachings of jesus. dis cant b said abt islam. the killings by 'radical' muslims ar perfectly justified by the teachings and action of mohammed.

nb....i'm a free person.....free from religeon....but i will tell u dis..i logically hate everytin abt islam. hw they dress, their behaviour, the way they interact, there preachings agaist civilizatn, thr relatnship with other religeon, thr traditns, marriages etc they ar nt jst ma tin.

it seem to me that most of us didn't read this report in detail or we all have the same corrupt orientation as our useless leaders before we comment. $600M US was withdrawn within a month from the national treasury and all we can think of is politics. this money was meant to procure weapons for our soldiers dying everyday at the hands of these useless radicals termed boko nonsense. this is more than genocide-if true. i was expecting aggrieve comments from individuals on this topic. how will corruption be stopped if the suffering masses are not interested in anyways to and y'all want the useless leaders to drop corruption suddenly. when d soldiers dey runaway now na the good for nothing commenters go first dey abuse them .SMH for ma country ooo.

sukkot:
you can stone fashola when you feel like. he is not my brother. hoewever this diezanis case is very special because the guy ( kola aluko ) who launders money for her was shitting his pants in fear when buhari won the election and he came forward to confess to all his crimes and implicated her. so thats why this particular case is of interest to buhari. we have a confession already.

abeg se na frm CNN abi na frm Aljazeera u get ur info from? bcoz i go like make i dey read news from ur source oooo. e be like say ur info dey work directly wit buhari

Rexnegro:
bro no tel me story just tell me how much u tink say she steal #simple....or to u she no steal anytin abi?

wetin u tink say i dey talk since...the UK govt. don release her. no report frm EFCC. no news for any place. mayb she don bribe ur incorruptible buhari wit 1 million pounds frm d 13 billion pounds she stole.

Rexnegro:
isn't that what was reported? u wey no oya tell us how much she stole o

firstly i will lik u to refer me to ur information source stating dat alison stole 13billion pounds. 13 billion pounds is equivalent to about $20B-as rich as aliko dangote.
the fact is that alison was alleged to b involved in corupt practices involving kola aluko in sabotaging nigeria daily crude oil produce. these are allegations which have not been proven to b true for some months now. i beliv her siezed passport has bin returned. and for the records accordin to d opp, alison so far is clean of all charges of corruption except if tomoro, EFCC comes up wit INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE(S) against her.

Rexnegro:
op is that why she looted 13billions pounds? at least there's no smoke with a fire na...weda na lie or true make she prove herself.....as for her health I wish her quick recovery back to good health

Nigerians and their wahala.....13billion pounds?? u no wetin b 13 billion pounds! haba....
