We all know inviduals from the political classes from every tribe and religion have banded together to see Nigeria ruined, THAT is the problem and it cuts across religion and tribe.

Story. You can keep deluding yourself with this overflogged line of comment by your people. Other nigerians know better as to which section and people of the country are hell bent on ruining nigeria, but yet want a united nigeria at all cost.

^^What?

mikeansy:
It is my humble opinion that it is time for us to get a little more serious a country.

A summon of the Libyan ambassador to Nigeria to protest and express displeasure would have been enough. This whole recall of Ambassador would simply keep what is a National shame in the International circles for a while.

It was not in Tripoli that people were killing their compatriots with Machetes. Its in Nigeria. My sense is that we should be more concerned with finding solutions to this babaric behaviour of some of our compatriots than engaging in diplomatic row with Libya.

Truly we live in an age long gone.

By the way talking about diplomatic row
What did we do when US enlisted us in terror list?
What did we do when Saudi Arabia will not allow Nigerians visit their President in Saudi Arabia?

Ghadaffi may have said what we don't want to hear as a Nation, but between January and Now close to 800 Nigerians have been massacred from either side and their was no drastic response from the Nigerian Government. But when Ghadaffi in showing concern over the human massacres puts a questionmark on the "sacred concept ONE NIGERIA". All of a sudden our Government is alive and awake once more.

I think we need to get a little bit more serious than that.

For once in your 2,356 posts, you made a reasonable comment.

@bialegend, please dont derail the thread, if you dont know just keep quite or better still, continue with your piracy in idumota, or continue preparing for your next operation (robbery).

How many Igos did you kill today in sokoto? Just be sincere.

^^^^You can hate Ghadafi all you want. Me too, but he is right on his money on this one. Your northern nigerian people need to go your separate way and join with your cousins in chad and niger.

@poster, can illegal immigrants participate as well, no malice intended, just want to know.

Aboki mallam toy soldier, we are not talking of nigerian census here where your cousins from chad and niger including your goats and cows are counted as northern nigerians.

madambini:
it will get the southerners to get their backs to farm as the northerners will not swnd food to southerners,

Nyarinya, you should not worry yourself about where and how southerners will get their food after splitting the lugard's cage called nigeria. You should worry more about where your awusa people can sell their farm produce to raise money. I hope you have markets in niger and chad, the country of your cousins.

PapaBrowne:
They will be just fine!! Poverty is not exactly a problem in Sharia North. It is a way of life!

So no! Even if they are poor, they would not be suffering. It would just be normal to them.

Exact point made.

i'm only finding out now that Igbo is a race

Because you ate too lazy as usual (trade mark anyway) to read/crosscheck and understand what's written on the form. Just as a Hispanic person of black origin will fill out the form with "Hispanic" and "black", so will Igbos fill the form marking Black and then Igbo. This is not nigerian census where you expect no ethnicity in the forms. It is USA CENSUS so you won't understand.

Useless and meaningless topic.

Talk of sticking their useless ostrich head in the sand. As if Gadafi has made a startling revelation that is alien to them.

I have filled the form and wrote IGBO in the provided box. I have also passed it on to 16 Igbo families i know here.

The eyes of the world are now firmly on nigeria. The break up is imminent and will be swift.

Follow me ask am oo. May be somebody took her keys and she come here dey yarn dust.

The serial awureist is Yoruba through and through. Whether he is nigerian should not matter cause he may be from Benin republic or even Togo for all i care, where they also have Yorubas, but fact remains that he is a full blooded 100% Yoruba man that is respecting and practicing his people's "awure" tradition. We should not make any attempt at blaming or ridiculing him. In Igboland, it is said "Omenala nde diri nde" literally translate, means "people's tradition should be respected and left for them"

For those who wants to know the meaning of "awure" since the Yorubas here are trying to hide it. Read this site to understand what is awure and how it is revered in all of yorubaland. http://www.pointblanknews.com/os844.html

I suppose Nas' father, Olu Dara, is a Nigerian because he has a Nigerian name. This hermaphrodite called AloyEmeka takes idiocy to new heights.

Sorry to burst your bubble. His name is Charles Jones III. He was given the name "Olu Dara," which literally translated means "God is good," by a Yoruba priest when he returned to America. Dara has traveled throughout Africa and Europe.

amarilo:
what is awure pls.?

The man may not be nigerian, but he is surely Yoruba, and Yorubas from nigeria until Togo do adore "awure" which is an accepted part and parcel of their tradition.

Obasanjo and so many other prominent Yorubas took the Yoruba "awure" culture to the next level. Stop living in denial cause even in your own Yoruba family, you know that "awure" is being performed on daily bases. My Yoruba female friend told me that her father do sleep with her and other sisters of her, and it's never a problem in their tradition. I don't know why this isolated case in the US seems strange to you nigerians.

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=413844.msg5699788#msg5699788 date=1268687596]No, its not. This is not normal anywhere in Africa. He learned it in the US.[/quote]Stop deceiving yourself, everyone knows that "awure" is the norm and it's accepted and adored in every Yoruba family.

It is normal practice in Yoruba land, so no biggie.
