A powerless Oracle just 3 priests of the most powerful God.

Just Listen ur self.

Be wise, the person that carried out the cleansing or burning according to the op and other source is alive and healthy.
why connecting the death of this priest to the shrine?
why can't he go after the priest that carried out the action?

Walelavender:
You just made a valid point here o. Coz his in-laws may shoot an arrow to destabilize this guy,hence,might end up scoring own goal o ; D

Rohr needs to read this

I think that is why his sister waded in to keep the wife's family shut so the guy can focus on the competition

Sometimes you can't criticize people like her, who knows maybe she tried making peace but her action was futile before she decided to come online and defend her brother since it's not just his estranged wife that is dragging him but his estranged wife and her family. He also need someone to keep the family busy while the player focus on the competition.
put yourself in her position or try to view the issue from her own perspective

The kind alert wey go land for this him sister phone after the competition ehn

chumaster:
I am cool bro, It was fascinating then, I cherished those moments. it seems you changed your moniker,what is your old moniker?

no, I didn't change my moniker. I left nairaland for a while. How has life been after NYSC?

crimeboss:
Let igbo people continue insulting, those they call fools aren't going standby and laugh about it, but the appropriate response will come, even the insulted won't mind committing political suicide because of just a simple slap on his simplicity and sensibility, hope igbos learn fast before it's too late.

If they commit political suicide because of a simple slap, I put it to you that they will also face the consequences of their action.
let peace reign

50% of Nigeria politics are ex-convict

joshuakdboy:
I was there too. How have life been after NYSC?

Yeah, I remember, it is a sweet memory ... I thank God, what about yours?

wirinet:
Did you go to night school or you passed your WAEC using expo?

I provide quotes (in quotation marks) stating the exact words of Oba Akiolu, and you said I lied. Instead you provided a third party report of what the Oba said and meant, and then erroneously labelled it THE SPEECH. Where is the speech in what you wrote and who was making the speech?
The Oba's original speech is all over youtube, so it should be quite easy to hear the oba's own voice and see if he actually used the word Igbo.

Now, I accept that the words of the Oba is out of place in a modern democracy and needed to be warned. You cannot use threats ( subtle or real) to force anyone to vote for your preferred candidate. He even went to far by saying Jimi Agbaje cannot be Governor for now. He was insinuating that the sole right to install a governor in Lagos state lies with him.

Having said the Above, you cannot prosecute the Oba for instigating genocide or violence in any court. He simply said anybody that goes against him would drown inside the lagoon. He never said that he would kill or order his people to kill anyone inside the lagoon. He could say, it is the spirit of of ancestors that will drown anyone that opposes him. It is like an Igbo king cursing anyone that opposes him with death from amadioha or his ancestors. If you know how the legal system works, you cannot convict a person based on spiritual or implied threats.

You are over exaggerating the Oba's subtle treats, maybe as excuse for any hate speech, insults or treats by any of your kinsmen in the future. The Oba of Lagos is only the Oba of Lagos Island. His influence does not even extend to Victoria Island (Iru Land), not to talk of Ikorodu, Eye or Badagary, so how can the Oba of Lagos threaten all the Igbos in all of Lagos?

He didn't use the word Igbo but he was addressing a group of Igbo leaders that visited him.

Same way Mr Ocherome didn't use the word Yoruba in his comment but you all assumed he was referring to Yorubas.

That been said, I think the poster also deserve to be bashed but he was overlooked because he's a Yorubaman.
Mr Ocherome is an individual and the comment on the post is his own opinion but had it been you followed the story yesterday you will find out that hatred/critics were directed towards the Igbos, which is not supposed to be so.

Let us grow above hate and focus more on peace

crimeboss:
my brother, anytime i read comments insulting Yorubas by Igbos get like hahaha what are these people doing?, a Yoruba man is so complex to an extent that if u are having an argument together he may not necessarily want to win the discussion but naturally make a point for u to consider, but when he is angry or in a fight he won't fight unless he's very sure winning, if u are defeated he'll make it permanent.
A Yoruba man if insulted like what Igbos are doing now may turn the table on igbos, for them voting buhari in anger of these insults passed by these ethnic group, it's not wise at this time to be mischievous to the west, even buhari that has display his hidden characters with Tinubu has dipped his hand in fire, he is going to get his deserved due no doubt on the appropriate opportuned time.

You're now crying like a victim, have u forgotten what your leaders did prior to the last election.

BTW if you vote for anybody because of this issue, remember you are not doing Igbos because we are in Nigeria together. it's not like there are different presidents for different parts of the country.

The best thing we need at this point is peace but tribal and religious differences won't let these tribes to unite

haqueurate:
thanks, at least am sophisticated, all your linage are not sophisticated at all..... they are just plain moro.ns
why dont you go jogging in the sun shouting biafla, biafla upandan

Sophisticated Mor.on... you made no sense with this your quote. I am done arguing with you

IGBOS AND NIGERIANS
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories.
Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.
There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists.
However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.
Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West.
Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.
I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye.
Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas?
In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought?
Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.
As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged?
The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them.
In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail.
There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.
In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor?
The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa.
The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light.
They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.
The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise.
There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner.
After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people.
It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure.
In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani.
He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.
The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge.
I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje.
The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like femi ARIBS ALA etc.
They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war

So this thing pain una like this

Beautiful nonsense... go online and copy more craps, you're just a typical Sophisticated Moro.n

wirinet:
Terrible defense. Mr Ocherome was obviously referring to Yorubas when he said sophisticated morons. You need to read the chat again in the context of the discussion.

If you are too lazy to use Google to search for the contentious statement of Oba Akiolu prior to the 2015 elections, I will help you. I know Nigerian youths are renowned to be lazy.

Here is the report;



Please note, the Igbos leaders at the end of the speech applauded the Obas speech. It was those who were hundreds or even thousands of miles away in foreign capitals that were screaming the loudest.

Now, tell me where the Oba said he will kill Igbos or order the killing of Igbos.

[s]You're a liar and I'm done arguing with you]

Here is the full text of the speech and its analysis...

THE SPEECH
To recap, on Sunday the 5th of April 2015, a group of Igbo leaders paid Oba Akiolu a courtesy visit. During the visit, the king advised the Igbo community to vote for his candidate Akinwunmi Ambode in the forthcoming gubernatorial election. He warned the Igbos that if they did not vote for his candidate, they would perish in the river within seven days. He said that the Igbos would prosper in the state if they heeded to his instructions. He pointed out that when the Igbos came to Lagos, they did not have houses but now they have properties. During the speech, Oba Akiolu also made reference to God and the ancestors of Lagos and swore in the name of Allah that the Igbos will die if they disobeyed him. He also warned the Igbos that they must not do in Lagos what they can’t do in Onitsha and Aba otherwise they will perish.
The comments made by Oba Akiolu has all the hallmarks of an extreme form of hate speech bordering on an incitement to commit genocide against the Igbos resident in Lagos State. The king’s speech dehumanized the Igbos and they appear to have been singled out for PDPs strong showing in Lagos during the recently concluded general election. This is despite the fact that people of other nationalities also voted for PDP and the actions of OPC probably dissuaded people from coming out en-mass to vote for APC due to fear of violence. The assertion that Igbos came to Lagos without houses and now have houses can be construed to be a threat that their properties are not safe if they go against the king’s wishes. In addition the statement that Igbos will perish in water is inflammatory and could possibly lead to violence. The speech breaches Chapter IV Section 34 of the Nigerian Constitution which states, “Every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person, and accordingly -- no person shall be subject to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment.” It also breaches Article 25 (3) (e) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which states that a person who “directly and publicly incites others to commit genocide” has committed a crime against international law. While Article III of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide states “Direct and public incitement to commit genocide” is a punishable event.

I said post the comment of Obama Akiolu and Wole Soyinka insulting the Igbos, so we can compare and contrast. I honestly do not know Abraham Ariyo and his position in Nigeria or what organization he leads.

You are telling me mr Ocherome is retaliating for comments made by Oba Akiolu and Wole Soyinka.

FYI he is not the one that made the post, he only commented "more like sophisticated mOrO.n" on the post, he didn't mention any tribe's name and it's a private discussion unlike that of your leaders that were made openly and directly to Igbos.

Back to your quote, don't tell me you are a S.M. ...

The point is Abraham Ariyo made the H.S and it trended, telling me you don't know him doesn't hold any water because he's a human just like Mr Ocherome (no double standard).
Wait, do you expect me to go and get the full text of Oba Akiolu, Wole Soyinka's hate speech when you can search about it on Google and do the comparison yourself

wirinet:
No CNN staff can insult a whole ethnic group and still keep his job the very next day.

ABC networks sacked Rosanna Barr the day after she made a racial remark.
Give a example of one Yoruba media professional, political figure or leader that had insulted Igbos.

Are you for real?
Oba Akiolu, Wole Soyinka, Abraham Ariyo that called himself a cardiologist are they from Congo republic?
