₦airaland Forum

coogar: i am an ambassador of peace......my object was never to come here and start some senseless e-wars with faceless beings.....i wanted to know why anyone interested in this electoral process was banished - no one has provided answers to my question! they keep running from pillar to post with lame excuses and pathetic explanation! like i keep saying, i am not a fan of okija - we have had our differences but that should not be used to deny his rights! if anyone has an issue with okija, deal with the issue - don't link that issue with his political ambition to satisfy some lust for personal vendetta! only cowards do that!

so mr balkan, help us appeal to the electoral officer to provide answers to my questions...who knows - if the excuses are good enough, okija might retrace his steps back and step aside!

My point is this, most people are disgruntled about his comments on Igbo leaders on this forum that is public to even our enemies.
That's more reason most tribe regard us as not having a leader. I will respect his opinion but not when it tends to rubbish our leaders.
No Yoruba man will come to this forum to rubbish their leader no matter how bad the person is.

Must we come to the public to disrespect our leaders? Why should such a person lead you. If actually he made such comments, people like you should call him to order.
You don't understand what is going on in this country called Nigeria

I was fifteen yrs when the war started, I lost most of my people. You are a smart young man, I like your contributions but don't let your personal squabble with somebody
Derail our purpose here which is to bring our people together with one voice.

Please gentlemen, I know I have seen more days than most of you, I have been following this thread and this name calling is not worth it at all.

I will advice you Okijajuju and Cooga to think Igbo 1st. most of the things you post here will make ur enemy happier. Do not delude yourself with one Nigeria agender. This forum is to unite the Igbos and not to build acrimony amongs us.

Don't post things just to display your wit in writng.You guys should stop all these fight.

A word is enough for the wise

My vote
Only truth
Police woman.

Onlytruth: Let me even share a little secret.
I have urged my "council members" that we stop supporting Biafra's secession, because honestly, I am happier with the emerging Nigeria.
The days of lies have since passed, and only the truth will shape the new Nigeria. All the priviledges of the civil war victors have since dwindled and the table turned!
We should not leave them when we have them by the jugular. Oh well @ BILIE.

What some of you don't know is that we are FARRRRRRRRRRRRRR ahead of you in terms of brainwaves.

My brother you have spoken well, What you just said made sense to me. Why talk about Biafra when we know the economic power lies in the hands of the Igbos.
Let them even hold on to the politcal power, lets be busy making the money. We need to enlarge our living area. The Jews,give or take play a lot of part in who rules America.

Lagos state is in the hand of Igbos, no doubt about that. About 50% of the properties in Abuja belongs to the Igbos. Most yorobbers are tenants to Igbos in their Lagos. They
Are only getting more scared. The use the only weapon they have ,tribalism and back biting. Yorobbers are scred to their marrow. They are small fry. Lagos
Is part of Igbo territory.

Let's just ignore this fools they are not our problem they no force at all. Stop giving them attention, they are so insignificant . Let's keep buying

Techwriter: Why are so many Nairalanders offended with tithing? Those paying there tithes are building schools to help improve the standard of education, and buying jets to aid evangelical exploits while some jobless people spend all their time on Nairaland criticizing them. Those paying are not complaining and nobody forced you to pay.

The next thing people will say now is that the schools are expensive. Go build your own, make it cheap and maintain the standards maintained by these 'expensive' Christian universities. Many of you prefer to hear that pastors are paupers but musicians are money bags. That's why pastors brought up by such congregational mindset keep looking for help from corrupt politicians and musicians and prophesying lies in the process in other to survive. I am not in Winners, but I don't advocate poverty-it is not a virtue. Jesus was not poor-stop decieving yrself

I am very sure you are one of those congregation that have sold their heart and soul to a pastor.
You the raw material that is used in making money for those pastors. Without your money, most of
them would have taken to robbery.

Wake up salvation is not in the church, it's in the heart.
Have you bordered to ask why pastors don't open churches in the village?
Cos the are not variable .

iwanchop: An average Yoruba/Igbo graduate run after multinational coys after graduation while a typical Hausa graduate thinks of how to gets into 1 FG parastatals,so who is complaining there more Hausas in civil service..bone federal character,does is not cheat SW?Hw many states does SE have?5 while NW hs 7,so who is talking about fed character?Igbo leaders dat were supposed to fight fo equality in states during military era shut their mouths cos of personal interest.

Yeye Yoruba man, you reason from your butts, another state must be created from the SE Region. Does it not worry you that Igbos are sharper than all the Regions in the country? Take a look at the Nigeria map and see for yourself that the area of land that was given five state is just a state size in most of the Regions. The erea that held Nigeria and nearly brought your Nigeria to her knees in three years if not for the westernes Oyibos in support of you cowards is as. small as a state in your region Ode.

Go check your Map. Lagos belongs to the Igbos and it has come to stay. Don't make the mistake of thinking Yorobbers own Lagos, its no mans land and that is why we are in the business of buying it up. Remeber it was awo ole owo that used his abandoned property war to reap were he did not sow. We have almost reclaimed them back.

I have told You before, all the monies you still in the Govt. Treasry finally lands in an Igbo mans pocket in one way or the other unless you want chew the notes. Lolz

Yorrobers are fool " the wealth of the Gentiles belongs to the Jews"

bittyend: Igbotic cannibal, why is cannibalism rife in your region?

Its only Yorobbers we canibalise. Their meat is a bit tasty compared to beaf and chicken and also cheap and available. I hope that answers question

You Yorobbers are ranting just bc the aviation sector is taken a new shape by removing you redondant tribe in other to make sure that things move well in that sector. The only time the aviation sector saw any improvement was when Kema Chikwe was there as the minister.

She left and you tribalist destroyed her efforts. You need Igbo people to succeed in any endeavour and business in this country. Stella knows that well. It has been proven beyond
Doubt that Igbo people have made the best minister ever since in Nigeria. She is not a fool she needs to achieve result.

Ask your self why the private sector is doing better than the public sector, my Stella is smart she knows what to do to achieve result.

I am from Delta state, we really envy The Igbos

gragra boy: are u telling me that all dis pple have nothing else to do but glue themselves to dia systems doing this pple really need to get a life

Gragra boy! Why are you still awake by this time? Why are you restless? What are you afraid of.
Go get some sleep ok? You will soon go mad, please help yourself

Asiwaju9ja: I used to respect this Man alot and I now have reservations. I respect the igbo race for their ingenuity,resourcefulness, never-say-die attitude and commerce. However, Mr. Achebe has not extricated himself from the Biafran Mentality, which I think our leaders are helping to foster(including Achebe) The igbo race like other ethnic groups in Nigeria has lost its ideals. The whole Qualities I mentioned earlier has been given negative perspectives from the action of their kinsmen. A particular example was when the Senate Presidency was zoned to the east. You and I know what transpired, how many senate presidents did we have within that short time? I expected a colossal icon like CA to work for the unification of Nigeria, instead of writing novels that will further speed us apart. I am sorry to say, Mr. Achebe has left the country for long, he does no know what his average kinsman is ready to do to make money at the expense of his fellow igbo man. Please sir, you opinion of the igbo race has long been overshadowed by GREED.

This Alika does not know that its on Record that Ibos have producd more senate president than any tribe in Nigeriam it on record, its part of our strategy. Mumu yorobbers don't know

cristog120: can anyone imagine how many years it took the igbos to recover from the ravages of the civil war which the yorubas and hausas didnt witness? just a few years.but today they are way ahead of the rest economically,educationally and otherwise.compare biafra and other war torn african counties and relate it with the thoughts of achebe.what an igbo man is suffering from today is envy emanating from our co associates in this fake enclave called nigeria.they all know it. go to any major market around this coutry,major schools around the world,all countries of the world, from east to west,north to south, you will tell the tales yourself.you can only be criticized by those u outshine in all things.any criticism is accepted by me.truth is very bitter when told in the public domain.

Onyem, you have said it all. You only can throw sticks to a fruitful tree. The one tree without fruit is always ignored.

Ibos have taken over the economy of Nigeria that is why they hate us. This country will not divide bc we need this mumu yorobbers to graze on.

KENESAGA: HE SAID D TRUTH, HATING IGBOS'LL CHANGE NOFIN, GO 2RU NAIJA ACHIEVERS, #1 INDEPENDENT FIGHTER, 1ST BLACK 2 HEAD COMMONWEALTH, BEST PERFORMING MINISTERS, MOST ACHIEVED FOOTBALLERS, 1ST AFRICAN 2 GO 4 WORLD BANK BOSS, AND OTHES, ALL ARE IGBOS. NO OFENC

1st Nig. To win Gold in Olympics, the list is endless

Coldfeet: Yesterday it was Elechi Amadi today it is Chinua Achebe! Why are the elderly of today not choosing their words with wisdom? Am IGBO by the way and I don't see myself as superior to others neither do I see others as superior to me! Things have indeed fallen apart.

Why is everybody claiming Ibo in this Nairaland. Well you cannot be Ibo mere saying it. Igbo runs in the blood.

Ibos are so creative and hardworking. I wish I was Ibo

Duchman67: The logic does not support the fact that Awo/Gowon committed genocide. Virtually every family in my home town in Abia state lost upwards of two relatives in the war(some families ceased to exist-completely wiped out) and it brings the question:

1,Why did Ojukwu continue fighting when the first hundreds of thousands of deaths started?

2,What were we fighting for when we had insufficient resources to pursue the war, none of the super powers were remotely interested in assisting us or helped with very little and millions were dying?

3,Why did Ojukwu wait for millions to die before surrendering(and if anyone says he did not know millions were dying then he is extremely incompetent at waging war which takes precious lifes)?

I expect a torrent of abuse for posting these questions but will be happy for a clear logical answer that makes some sense.

Hey this Yoruba! Don't come here to impersonate.

demmy: If the highlighted were true you wouldn't whine about how Lagos landlords are not renting houses to you igboids.

And believe me from now on its going to be even more difficult for you.

Young man I have told you. You have been letting house in Lagos and give instuction to your agents to take only Yorobbers, we know all this but how many of your pple can afford it? Go and check the statistics of houses in Lagos and their owners. You will be shocked.

Go to Abuja and check the landlords of various ptties and including plazas and Hotels. Just with £20.

You can't stop the moving train. Check how many Yorubas that are tenants to Ibos in your land, you will cry and hide in shame.

How many Yorobbers can afford to by land in Lagos if not for govt. Alocations?

Your tribalism is only setting you back, its old fashioned.

My people, you don't have a need to join issues with these Yorobbers. The fear of an Ibo man is the begining of wisdom.

With £20 of thief Awo's policies we have bounced back stronger. The Ibos own most of the choice properties in Lagos and still counting all over Lagos state buying their properties and sending them to Ofada, Ikorodu, Badagary. God has given us Lagos and very soon all yorobbers will be tanants to Ibos in Lagos.

You can't stop a moving train brother. Lagos will be fully owned by Ibos in the next few years. There is nothing you guys can do about it. They war will soon begin and you will be sent to Benin Rep.

You can only be jealous and nothing you can do about it.

ayox2003: Ojukwu who wanted to create his own country should be rich enough to feed them.

My igbo brothers would agree with me that Ojukwu was a coward. He later fled and u are all here talking as if he was truly an hero.

He did not lose a pin during the war. Don't pass the buck to Awo. Its Ojukwu that should be blamed.

If he lived truly, he would have truly lived.



Frawzey

Am very sure you are a Yoruba man pretend to be Igbo. But if otherwise, I will call you a fool. You can not be a true Ibo man for opening your dirty mouth to insult a hero like Ojukwu openly in this forum. Am very sure you don't know your root.

Useleess fool. Have you ever seen any tribe coming on this forum to insault their people. Its people like you that's giving other tribes power to insult an Ibo man openly.

A big fool like you. Its pple like you that will keep voting for other tribes in their community. That is why we don't have a formidable party in the SE and SS. The vote in this region is always distrubuted to other regions.

Shame on you. Ojukwu fought with his family wealth to liberate you from this nation called Nigeria that a whiteman established and put you in slavery.

Well, am very sure you are not Ibo. Awolowo was in prison and an Ibo man released him from prison in Calabar shortly before the war and he we came out from jail and started fighting the same people that released him from jail.

For your information no yoruba will come here to insult his leader no matter what, fool.

Please don't let me talk

Am so worried about you not even your uncle. Am sure this situation has devastated you. What are his children doing about it. I can assist 100k. How do I send this across

sorry for this situation, but incase I want to assist you, how can I
Pay in the money? To the wife or You? so that this man comes out soon
or do you have any count number?

Dignitary: I love Nigerians...

So gullible and sheepish!!!

Someone who is not a journalist, whose view is not authoritative..someone who has not elicited any evidence to show that Pastor Adeboye indeed said all he has alleged said the man of God said 'don't marry frm RCCG' and y'all believe!!! So sick!!!

Many have not only believed but they have started hurling insults at the man of God...Well, I now know the reason why so many ppl have problems without knowing the cause of their problems.

My friends, let's exercise caution when we talk about men of God!!! Even if u don't believe they are men of God, it will do u a whole lot of good if u exercise restraints...God can do anything to ppl that despise his prophets and pastors !!! He's a consuming fire!!!

Assuming but not conceding that he said all you said, I believe the context in which that was said must be considered too!!! Sincerely speaking, I believe Christians from different denominations can marry each other!!! My Bible does not tell me otherwise and I do believe that Pastor Adeboye will share this view since he allows Pastors from other churches to preach in RCCG!!!

But if indeed he said all these, it must not be isolated from the context in which he said it!!! It's end time guys...D devil is desperately Interested in bringing down men of God that are constant threats to his kingdom!!! DON'T ALLOW URSELF TO B USED BY THE devil

My brother open your eyes. We are all men of God. I will not be surprised to hear this. You guys are now worshiping your pastors instead of your God. The Christ that I am following never preached that.

There is too much competiton among Pastors. They are interested in snatching members of other churches to be richer and bigger. They will not go and preach to BH who need to accept christ.


I don't believe in this pastors who are turning you fools into money making machines. I pity you church goers cos you have missed your way. Bc if you study your Bible no man will decieve you.

Please no body should blame our president GEJ in this matter, we now know that the northerners (Muslims) are doing this
Intentionally to have a reason to bring their Aboki Army people to take over the government in the name of insecurity.

Southerners open your eyes. Don't fall to this cheap propaganda

Gentlemen, we are not causing anyone here.if like watching FBI FILE AND FORENSIC DICTATIVES, you see reason for most people's contribution
But the NP are not well trained to even find out a simple lie.

Let's go by this logic
1) does Ugo own a car?
2) what is the distance from where Ugo lived and where he was shot
3) was it walk able distance at that particular time of the night
4) if he owned a car? Why did he not drop his friend off.
5) was the street light on when this shooting took place?
7) what was his friend's first action after he came out from where he took cover,
the wife should be questioned too cos she is a suspect with the friend untill proved otherwise.
9) for how long has Ugo know this lady before they got married
10) does Ugo's wife know her [color=#550000][/color] husband's friend very well? For how long? And what is there relationship like?

Being a suspect is not to say you committed the crime.
Let establish this people's innocence before we start looking elsewhere .
Nothing wrong with that.
This is a case of homicide. You will be surprised of the revelations if police do a good job or independent investigators.
I wish I can be asked to do this investigation

I still believe in one thing. I envy the Ibo people not for anything but for their enterprising nature. Other major tribe have ruled Nigeria except the Ibos stil they are the richest tribe in Nigeria.
And they have survived all these years without getting little or nothing from the centre

While others busy fighting to be president they are busy taking over the commerce of the country lets be wise.
All the regions that have ruled the country, have their people very poor including my state plateau state. Why are
We killing ourselves fighting were the president would come from. Let the good candidate come from any tribe I don't
Care.

Let's be wise

buchibabe: Wetin d pastor do for dis matter now?

. You dey ask abi? Make I tell you. The pastor wants attention for himself and his church ? Camera phone full everywhere. The would have shown us people around where the thing happen. Dey go carry horse pipkin inside church abegiiii

You guys don't understand the joke. Mugabe still wants to be president , so he needs 9ja to help perfect the rigging. Based on experience

asha 80: FG slow in search for oil -ACF
Our Reporter September 8, 2012 12 Comments »
FG slow in search for oil -ACF

From NOAH EBIJE, Kaduna

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has accused the Federal Government of nonchalant attitude towards oil exploration in the North.

Rising from its National Executive Council and Board of Trustees meeting at the weekend, ACF said if the Federal Government should show commitment to exploring the oil found in the region, every part of the country would boast of enough oil, particularly, for domestic purposes.

In a communiqué issued and signed at the end of the meeting by the Publicity Secretary of the forum, Anthony Sani, the group also asked the Federal Government to allow public debate onconstitution review to accommodate all shades of opinion.

The communiqué reads in part: “The meetings regretted that oil exploration proceeds at snail speed in northern Nigeria. In view of recent discoveries of crude oil in areas of similar geological character with northern Nigeria, the meeting reiterates its call on Federal Government to expedite action on oil exploration and let the oil flow from all corners of the federation.

“The meetings went over the debates brought about by the efforts to review the constitution, to amend some Acts of the National Assembly and the revenue sharing formula.

“The meetings also noted the concern expressed by the presidency that further discussions of certain issues should stop. It was the considered view of the meetings that, given the fact that progress comes from change through robust debates, and the fact that democracy is a contest of ideas and reasons, the debates should continue, provided it is conducted with decorum and sense of patriotism.

“The meetings considered the festering security challenges posed by the untoward activities of Boko Haram and ethno-religious crises in some states of the North. It also discussed the insecurity caused by the spate of kidnappings and communal clashes across the South-East, those posed by widespread armed robberies in South-West as well as militant activism and oil bunkering in South-South.

“The meetings also considered the efforts of the federal and state governments that are directed at addressing the security challenges. The meetings agreed that the endorsement of dialogues by the Federal Government was praiseworthy. Also appreciated were the efforts of northern state governors in setting up the panel to help find lasting solution to the prevailing security challenges and enjoined the people to support the government’s action. The meetings urged members of the Boko Haram to embrace the offer of dialogue by laying down their arms. Enough is enough.

“However, the meetings deplored the tendency of some Nigerians to call into question the settled issue of our co-existence as one united country. The meetings considered expressions of ethnic nationalism as manifested by recent declaration of autonomy and hoisting of flags and anthems by some groups as unhelpful.

“This is because actions, which promote cleavages along ethnic and religious lines, are unlikely to inspire national solidarity that must go with our relative pluralism.

“It is against such backdrop that the meetings praised the actions of some religious leaders who took it upon themselves to promote tolerance and accommodation between faiths through interdenominational breaking of fast, as hosted by Archbishop John Onaiyekan at Abuja, Archbishop Kaigama in Jos and many others, who stood guard at places of worship while members of opposite religion prayed.

“The meetings, therefore, called on all religious, political as well as community leaders to follow suit for collective good.

“The meetings expressed concern with the current state of affairs in the New Nigerian Development Company, NNDC, and urged Northern state governments to look into it.

. Hey! You malam, you guys will always reason from your otele. Anambra oil was discovered by business men from Anambra state not the FG. You want FG TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU. continue with your BOKO HARAGI

Classicalman: It's obvious you are another Yoruba lily livered coward. Hiding behind your screen to mock a majority tribe. Come out and say it and see if you will not be castrated to save future Yoruba generations d stress of having a moronic lineage.

. Well, you tribalist , you can only be jealous. The truth is that we are too powerful than any tribe in Nigeria. Check your map and see the area the Ibos that held the entire nation to ransome for 30 months You chickened out of the war in your Yoruba usual Yoruba character.

Big fools. We are already over running your states. You yorobbers are the most coward of the whole Nation. Liers! Come and attack the Ibos and see if you not run across to Benin Republic. Have you ever tried to come across the Niger to see the development after the war? I know you don't have the liver.

The truth is that almost 50%of the properties in Lagos are owned by the Ibos and they are still counting. You can't stop a moving train. THE FEAR OF AN IBO MAN IS THE BEGINING OF WISDOM. Foolish OLALIGHT

Dudu_Negro: ....abeg no mind them. Eveey ethnic group in Nigeria have freedoms and liberties that support individualism. The pioneer of social liberties and right to live and express is Yoruba. Our governors and our entire region is bursting at the seams under extreme stress of dealing daily with multiculture, diversity of interests and cosmopolitan demands.....you dont hear any governor of Yorubaland lamenting bitterly about how his people are difficult to govern. You dont hear it anywhere else. Their problem is not right to liberty and individual expression and direction but a "lack of basic social skills for healthy inter-dependence". They dont know how to negotiate interests and needs.........all they understand is to tear down and severe, seceed and disunite. Oyibo didnt see it in them when they got to this land but tried to coach it and even taught them how to install ruling systems of democracy but they failed and it is evident till today why they are nuisance in every culture that hosts them. Heck, they are a nuisance at home!

.

Hey! You big fool, its better you mind your business! Tribalist. For the records, the Ibos and the south east part of the country is the most organised and the richest. Take it or die with it. I don't know why you tribaist are worried about us.before the war and after the war you guys can't match the Ibos. We are buying all your choice properties in your land and sending you back back to Ikorodu and Ofada. Go to any state in Nigeria, after the indigenes, the richest people you will see in terms of properties is the Ibo man. I pity you. Very soon we shall make you a tenant in your land and there is nothing you can do about it. Continue fighting to be president, steall all the money you will definitly give to an Ibo man in one way or the other. We are watching you fools

obiyor2000: These our govr. Who will speak sometin with 1 side of his mouth & deny it with d other side of d his mouth. Pls u need 2 be in imo b4 saying his good. Many has lost thier jobs, Most of d roads he said that he has worked on are already spoiling d eriosion caused by some of d roads are something 1 can say. How will a govr. Start work in almost all part of d state d same time. Owerri has almost 40 to 50 hotels now, so why need of another hotel, when d state can not manage imo concord hotel. At times u hardly find anything in d hotel, d renovation going on there has been stoped. He is a planless Govr.

. You are a fool for making that coment. You are not informed for saying that. You think its business as usual. We no you PDP guys and Ohakim's people.
Your propaganda can not make u smell the Douglas house again. We trust the governor and only little is remaining to shame you people. For all I care he is the governor to bit. I will advice the governor to ignore the all the side talk and continue his good work. Time will tell
