And to think that Awolowo is held in high esteem by some people even with his genocidal statement baffles me.

It shouldn't baffle you. Killing and genocide against Igbos is an accepted norm which is celebrated in nigeria by every other ethnic group in nigeria especially the northerners and followed by the Yorubas.  You want a top government post in nigeria? Just go out and instigate the killing of Igbos and you will be rewarded handsomely with a top government post in nigeria.
Mr Alison Ayida who said during the war that  "Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels" is revered today in nigeria as a  “super-permanent secretary” . Murtalla Mohamed who almost wiped out every Igbo male at Asaba during the war has his name used for their international airport in Lagos.
The reason why you are seeing and hearing of all this agitations in regards to the recent (few days ago) killings in Jos is because the victims this time are not Igbos. (The chicken has come come to roost). Had the victims being Igbos, all you would have heard from nigerians, especially the Yoruba folks (cowards and hausa/fulani cock suckers) are reasons why Igbos should leave Jos which is not their home (despite wanting them at all cost in their makeshift country nigeria) and migrate back to their Igboland, and including other ridiculous comments.

LAGOS, Nigeria – Twin car bombs exploded outside a government building where amnesty talks were underway Monday in Nigeria's restive and oil-rich region, wounding two people and causing panic, a government spokesman said.

Monday's bombing is the most daring attack claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta since the group abandoned an unconditional cease-fire agreement with the government. It also may signal the end of amnesty negotiations that have fallen apart during the long illness of Nigerian president Umaru Yar'Adua, who brokered the deals before his health worsened.

On Monday, MEND, which is the most prominent militant group in the Niger Delta, promised more attacks.

In a statement e-mailed to reporters minutes before the bombing, MEND said the bombs were part of a new wave of attacks that would sweep across the Niger Delta.

"The deceit of endless dialogue and conferences will no longer be tolerated," the group's statement read. "The lands of the people of the Niger Delta was stolen by the oil companies and northern Nigeria with the stroke of a pen."

Delta state spokesman Linus Chima told The Associated Press just before the bombing that "there is nothing to worry about at all." A live broadcast of the event carried by African Independent Television, a Nigerian satellite channel, showed officials did not evacuate the government building after receiving the warning.

On the live broadcast, an explosion could be heard in the background, halting a speaker in mid-sentence. A man's voice then urged those inside to remain calm.

Later television footage showed flames and smoke rising from a nearby roadway. Witnesses said the blasts blew out windows in the meeting room.

Chima said it appeared that the two bombs were placed inside cars near where a Nigerian newspaper, Vanguard, was helping hold a discussion with government officials about an amnesty deal offered to militants in the region. The spokesman said two people were wounded and that he had no other information. Yelling could be heard in the background during the telephone call.

"I think it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the peace talks," Chima said.

MEND has used car bombs before. In April 2006, MEND claimed responsibility for two car bombs at an army barracks and an oil refinery in which two people were killed. It also detonated a car bomb outside a state governor's office in December 2006.

Analysts have questioned MEND's capabilities in the weeks after the group announced it had called off its cease-fire with the government. State governments and oil companies later denied the group carried out attacks it had claimed responsibility for in statements to reporters.

MEND seemed to address those questions in its statement to reporters.

"In the coming days, we will carry out a number of attacks against installations and oil companies across the Niger Delta and will spread out to companies such as (French oil company) Total which have been spared in the past," the group said in an e-mailed statement. "We hope the actions which will follow will persuade , (officials) that we exist outside of cyberspace."

Militant groups in the Niger Delta have attacked pipelines, kidnapped petroleum company employees and fought government troops since January 2006. They demand that the federal government send more oil-industry funds to Nigeria's southern region, which remains poor despite five decades of oil production. They also criticize the oil giants for polluting their rivers with spilled oil and flared excess gas produced when drilling.

The region became peaceful after negotiations began for the government-sponsored amnesty program, which planned to offer cash payoffs for militants to abandon the fighting. Some militants also heralded Goodluck Jonathan becoming acting president as a positive sign, as he is the first Niger Delta politician to take over the country's highest office. However, many militants have grown restless in recent weeks as they say the government has stalled the peace process.

Anybody who complains (not referring to Igbos who have already accepted their fate and moved on with their lives) should get lost or go die. That is called the "repercussions of sold birthright to spite Igbos" The country called nigeria was fought for, designed, aided, packaged and delivered to northern nigerians by the so called southern neighbors of Igbos who did it in their quest to spite their Igbo neighbors whom they felt were the real threat to them. Who now are the real threats to your survival? The chicken has come home to roost, so no one should complain.

New NNPC top managers being 86% of northerners is not what it should or supposed to be. By right and to be fair to the northerners, 99% is what i want to see. Yes 99% because the country called nigeria and every mineral resources obtain inside it is for them the northerners and they should do whatever pleases them with the hell hole called nigeria. As i have already said above, anyone who complains should go dump his or her lazy arrss inside a barrel of acid. It's never time to wake up from your sleep as the visioner Ojukwu has already told you people. It's still 2a.m in the morning. So, stop complaining and go back to sleep.

violent:
She has done nothing to me, i just don't like this sudden idea of "I am saint amongst them" attitude, why work for a government whose ideology and root spells of corruption? in many words, she can qualify as an "hypocrite", where was she all along?. .

If she doesn't like the system, let her quit and join the likes of Falana and Soyinka's in the fight!. . .

she stays in well furnished office building, well furnished apartment, bark out orders, get recognition anywhere as "Minister for Information", receive jumbo pay and ridiculous allowances and then come out and tell us "the government is corrupt" plsssssssssss not all Nigerians are idíots.

Nkojo Iweala resigned when she discovered that she couldn't play the ball game any longer, i think Dora needs such people as mentors

Are you so dumb that you read and did not understand this part quoted below. Perhaps, you didn't even read the news, yet you have the guts to spew rubbish here.

Thereafter, it was they said, they said and they said. We never had a comprehensive channel of getting information that we are sure of and most of the information, sometimes, they don’t add up and it got very disturbing. When they don’t add up, you feel very awkward reporting such information. I believed the information, even though I kept wondering how things can be done better, until when I found that stories told by some of the presidential aide were not adding up, especially stories that are changed when they are told from one person to another.

That was when I started feeling uncomfortable and that was when I now decided that I would go on holidays. People felt it was strange that I was going on holidays in the first week of January. But I traveled because I needed to rest a little, have a retreat, pray and attend a two-day meeting in India. But I went out for about three weeks and I decided that by the time I return, I would never again report about Mr. President’s illness until I sit down with people that will tell me the truth and nothing but the truth, so that I will not be involved in deceiving Nigerians.

Seun:
I hope this ends well for the minister.  She's stepping on toes unnecessarily.  It's not really
worth it in this case, unless she is looking to score political points for a future campaign.
The whole Yar'adua issue is overblown; but what I want to know is Jonathan's plan.

You people are sick. Really really sick. What do you mean by stepping on toes unnecessarily? Stepping on who's toes? And this is coming from you? A supposed nairaland owner? Nonsense!!! First, you have to remember that Dora is Igbo and not from the coward stock that fears even their shadow. Why shouldn't she talk when things are going wrong to save your so called country? All these stress for her are in the name of saving your imbecilic country, yet people like you as i have seen in this thread are shouting "cheeii" why did she talk.
All you nigerians want is assuming she folds her hands and keeps her mouth shut, then you nigerians will use her name in your lame reference that your nigerian problem is caused by all ethnic groups inside the nigeria. Some of you nigerians will say that Dora and Igbo minister collaborated  with your silly government and kept quiet when she was supposed to talk. She spoke, but that didn't augur well with you because you won't use her name when saying "Igbo people in government are collabo to the problems facing your imbecilic country"

ROSSIKE:
Chei, some of you guys are just too dumb.


I'm not lost at all. YOU are lost, thinking Bushes' income is ''verified and examined''.

MUGU.

Who examined their income? You?

Of course he is ''into oil''. He's also into mass murder and wholesale theft of other nation's resources, among other pre-occupations.

MUGU, just as your northern nigerians almajiri illiterates whom you support to keep ruling nigeria at all cost (even when it's obvious they don't know jack, but supported by the same west you are against) are into murder and whole sale theft of other nation's resrouces.

ROSSIKE:
Becomrich said:

Oh shut your ignorant trap.

Clinton and Bush are FAR BIGGER THIEVES than IBB or any Nigerian leader.

Their own form of corruption is so HUGE, so HUMUNGOUS, people like you are far too dumb and admiring of ''oyibo'' to even notice.

Example 1: They send thousands of soldiers to DIE, and kill 1.5 million Iraqis through war and sanctions, based on a pack of lies, so they can take over Iraqi oil worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Saddam in power refused to permit any US firm to drill oil in Iraq. Today, 90% of firms drilling oil there are US firms.

They concocted a fake story about him having WMDs, USED their media and Powell and Rumsfeld etc to deceive morons like you and most other Americans etc, who GLADLY sent their sons to DIE in Iraq in their thousands (and now Afghanistan), as firms ''close to'' Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld, Clinton et al, MILKED IN MORE MONEY IN A DAY than IBB, Abacha, and OBJ managed to steal combined in their entire tenures.

Example 2: They DELIBERATELY created a ''recession'' by relaxing regulatory measures for banks to a ludicrous level, KNOWING FULL WELL that many people would default on the easy loans. When all the banks, owned by their cronies got in trouble, they then RAIDED THE TREASURY, to ''bail out'' the banks to the tune of TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Ask anybody where this money went. Nobody can give an answer. You still visit a bank in the US and try to borrow money as a member of the public, and they say NO! Jobs are as scarce as ever. Where did the TRILLION DOLLARS GO?

No one is asking, and no one is answering. Their media are all in on the deal. In fact their media outlets are OWNED directly or vicariously  by the very same bankers, in cahoots with the govt, and are little more than mouthpieces of the elite.


So do get real and stop being so damn gullible and naive.

Example 3: They supported and aided nigeria in the killing of over two million Biafrans so they can have access and control over the oil in present day nigeria. They, especially the british are today helping the northerners of nigeria to keep power and rule nigeria for them (proxy) at all cost. Making sure that all strategic military posts and installations are in the north which they use to intimidate other nigerians. I wonder why this negro or kushi called ROSSIKE is always quick to point out the injustices done against the arabs while refusing the point out the same that was done and still been done against his own people inside nigeria.

Remii:
bros, your starting statement compared to your hailing of PDP sounds "osmoronic" are you in PDP or you are just succumbing to PDP rigging spree , lol.

Ol'boy, learn to decipher humor and mockery when you see one. It's very easy.

I have just perused this thread and going by the first two people that responded to this thread, i must say that some of our Igbo people are simply ignorant. You guys should know that the opener of this thread was writing in his Ukwuani Igbo dialect and so, not all Igbos will understand the dialect. If a person from Wawa Igbo, Mbaise Igbo, Bende Igbo, Awka Igbo, Ezza Igbo, Arochukwu Igbo, Nnewi Igbo and others come in here and write with their own differente Igbo dialects, i wonder if any Igbo from outside those areas will not find it difficult to read meanings into those dialects.

Fact is that most Igbo people in this NL and other nigerian forums prefer to write to their Igbo language with general Igbo dialect which is spoken within ABA  for southern Igbos and ONITSHA for northern Igbos. Most of you Igbos should be honest with yourselves and answer this question. (Especially, Nwando and Ikomi) If you come out here and write with your own Igbo village dialect, do you think that most Igbo members of this forum will understand much of what you write? Your guess is as good as mine, so compare yourself to this Ukwuani Igbo guy that opened this thread with his Ukwuani Igbo dialect and stop abusing him because of his writing with his Igbo village dialect. Igbo bu otu, no matter the dialect. IGBO KWEZUONU.

nethacker:
Is dat wat u think?

It's not about what i think, but about fact which everyone knows.

citizenY:
@bialegend

You want to pollute this sector again. I expect you to await further developments.

Why can't you allow a dispassionate dscussion on any topic ? We shall continue to ignore you.

I cannot fathom why a separatist will be so concerned about Nigerian affairs. I thought you

should be busy fashioning out your kingdom in utopia a(red Biafra) wherever that is. You have

a long way to go.

Fear of the GREAT BIAFRA is the downfall of your myopic nigeria.

Awusas introduced kidnapping into nigeria. As far back as early 80's they sent kidnappers to kidnap Umaru Dikko.

nethacker:
pls let's wait to see how events unfold itself this was how the 5 troubled banks started. We all said "It can't be true" but turned out to be true so let's wait.

Get your facts right. The five banks didn't turn out to be any true, rather, it turned out to be what we already suspected. That is a fraud perpetuated by northerners to take over banks of southerners by force.

I stopped reading after this 

A confidential source

Me also can write and claim  "A confidential source"

And he is from ibadan. Chaiii !!!

Lagosboy:
This old man should shut the f*ck up.

What benefit is all this nonsense going to do to Nigeria aside from fueling the already inflamed fire of tribalism and deep rooted supsicion between the north, east and west. After 49 years he his repeating the jargon even school kids know about.

The shallow minded ones among us will quickly buy into this and start blaming the north for our predicament rather than us acknowledging that our problem is Corruption. Corruption has no tribe and no race, neither does it have a state or a region where it is dominant. Our leaders have been thieves, rougues and fraudsters. From Ibori in the delta to Saminu Turaki in Jagawa to Akala in oyo to Tinubu in lagos. From IBB from Minna to Aikhomu from Edo, From Sam egwu of enugu to haruna of adamawa and we could go on and onl. If there is one thing our leaders are united upon it is corruption.

All these tribal jargon have no meaning to them as they party together, dine together , steal together and have joint business interests.

Nigerians should unite in fighting these thieves and exterminate the rougues to the abyss of extinction for our dear and beloved country to move foward., Lets stop whining about our the colonialist rigged election and so on , we had 49 years to develop our country but we didnt and malaysia did hence malaysia a multi ethnic anc multi religious country should be a first world country in the next 15 years.

IF I HAVE SEEN THE BIGGEST FOOL OF THIS FORUM, IT IS YOU with your nonsense rants. Arrss licker lazy one.

gadogado:
im not aware of any question "posed" to me, pose any question and ill definitely answer you in a direct and holistic way!by the way,stop calling people almajiri,the population of almajiris in the north is about .8% of the entire northern population so your generalization is sickening and a mere stereotype,

So can you answer the below question in quotation, notabley the bolded part since you pretend not to seethe question?

Let’s start campaigning for the impeachment of Yar’Adua now – he’s lame and ineffective. This way we don’t have to wait until Yar’Adua’s term runs out,
before getting Fashola in there. BTW do you mean until his first or second term runs out?

sjeezy8:
This barbaric behavior of some, doesnt consitute behavior of the whole of Nigeria.

Things like this happen all over the world. Im sick and tired of some dumbass people always using religion as an excuse to act ingorant, stupid and disgusting.

and the idots who always turn each and everythread into an anti Nigeria topic, instead of simply addressing the real problem.

So the excuse for maintaining nigeria as ONE country continues. Typical from the lazy ones.

fake!!!

MrCrackles:
Useless government who cant provide basic amenities or protect it's citizens. . .
Useless government will do jack shit. . . Fucking clueless buncha bastards always promising and not delivering!
And as for the cowards and imbeciles who raped and killed that innocent lady, God dey. . . You will all rot in the deepest part of hell fire
Hopeless country

But you still want it to remain ONE country at all cost. So much so for the love of ONE nigeria at all cost.

udezue:
Its one Nigeria that we fought hard for so lets live with it. Lets keep sacrificing our lives so we can maintain some ideology and obey British belief that we must be one.

KPOM to the core. ONE nigeria all the way. We need more sacrifices.

The problem with men with chicken brain like you is, u cannot institute a legal case of corruption if the so called case is beyond 7 years of the offence happening, that is how it is practised in the west and the UK specifically. For Ribadu to start digging up cases for incidents that happend in the late 70's and early eighties when most of the principle actors and players have left this world is not only a daft proposition, it is also and would be an exercise in futility with no merits to anybody, can u hear yourself. I beg go and get a life, u are clearly and definately an illetrate who does not know anything about law and jurispundence.

Why are you awusas so dumb? So because the financial corruption is over 7 years, it should not be prosecuted? And you said it's being done that way in the west and UK specifically? Which west and UK are you referring to? Do you mean the west and UK in northern nigeria?
How dumb you iddiot is? So nigerian government should stop seeking to recover your almajri brother abacha's loot in Swiss and UK banks because it's already more than 7 years? How dumb these people are and they were supposed to live in the same ONE country with my people?
So as Halliburton's corruption case in nigeria happened over 7 years ago, it should be forgotten? So all the financial corruption cases that are over 7 years should be forgotten? From which planet are you dumb awusas from for goodness sake? How dumb a people's reasoning can be, i ask, how dumb.

KnowAll:
Ibori is trying to hide and run from his own shadow, it is guilty conscience that is worrying Ibori, he had better own up to the atrocities he has committed whilst in office in the name of resources control. The only resouce that has being controlled is that a cheap credit card fraudster has become a billionaire overnight and the Nigeria state with all its learned fellow and men of honour can do nothing about it.

Ewu awusa, that is not the point here. The point is if in your warped brain and logic, Ribadu is currently not the chairmperson of the EFCC as you pointed out which is the reason why he should not have anything to do with your northern nigerian heros who stole nigeria blind. So what concerns the same ribadu with hounding Ibori when he is not currently the chairperson of the EFCC? Can you leave out if Ibori is a thief or not and answer this question?

^^They claim to be more in number and only IDDIOTS believe them.

All you people should stop complaining and deal with the situation your fathers helped created. We are in ONE nigeria and he has the righ to go to Saudi and stay one year if he wants. That is the meaning of ONE nigeria. After all, it's you sabotuers that helped them to cling to power until this day. So, deal with it.

They claim to be more in number and only IDDIOTS believe them.

MrCrackles:
So what is the big deal in spending money on feeding during Ramadan?

No big deal. That's exactely what we are saying. After all the money is coming from their conquared people's land. So there shouldn't be any big deal about it.

@Poster


So, dont you fall sick? Is he not human?

Now, when he travels, it is news, when he comes, it is news, when he doesnt go anywhere, it is news- what are you on about randy poster?

And what does your rant above have to do with his comment below. Mr arrslicker from the arrlickers tribe, do you even comprehend? Now, can you point out where his comment means that he doesn't fall sick, and perhaps not have feelings for another human. What is with your people and arrss licking of the awusas? Jeez.

He still looks seek - Maybe his VP needs to take over before he collapse. His health and the nation are suffering - are these boneheads in the national assembly asleep?

Beaf:
You would expect that the NLers from those states would have pounced on this thread to express their anger by now.
But the really weird thing is that only discussion of the ND, Arabic or Islam seems to get them all geared up and red eyed.

Not only those from those states. What about those Yorubas that use to support them and kiss their arrsss? Have you seen any one of them on this thread? You won't see those Yorubas here unless this thread is about ND, arabic and islam.
