Is this not the same fellow on trial under GEJ for pocketing some of the proceeds from selling naija's houses in New York? Was that trial concluded or is he being arrested now for jumping bail? And did GEJ arrest him for criticizing PMB's govt too? |

Your comment was so good it was plagiarised by The Nation reporter at http://thenationonlineng.net/land-cruiser-hits-poles/ His version reads: “From the way the car jumped over the gutter, brought down two electric poles, and even destroyed the fence like a bulldozer would, it’s certainly a clear case of over speeding. Despite people shouting speed kills, speed kills. Let drivers be careful on the wheels especially when the road is free,” said an onlooker. ladyF: |

I actually went to the SE to snatch her from under the noses of boastful layabouts like you so, so much for Yorubas not venturing beyond their blessed land. You said she lacked self respect and I proved to you that she is what even you would regard as successful considering how many of your kind she feeds. Most of the unfortunate kinsmen are too busy carrying Biafra placards to be unhappy about me stating things the way they are. If I can make billions from my own territory why would I go to struggle for scraps in your territory? How many Igbos of substance do you know who made their money in the SE? If even Igbos can't make money in Igboland why would I go seek water from a stone? You can turn necessity into a virtue from now till kingdom come but we all know why you are so far from home: not love or adventurism but plain desperation. The shame is you being too deluded and boastful to just make your money in peace. You must tell us all how much of a favour you are doing us by making money from us. Your ingratitude poisoned your young ones and today they are running about the streets making illogical demands that you DARE not bring to pass. In PMB's shoes I would INSIST you have that referendum and ensure it is conducted by the UN just to make sure you don't have anything to hide under when the results come out. When your wish is granted I shall go further to grant you all two year work permits in the rest of naija after which you must all return to the 29,000 square kilometres of the SE and apply for work permits from there. Of course you will have to queue behind Ghanaians and other less antagonistic Africans. Even the Lebanese will be preferred over you since they at least know where their bread is buttered and aren't so openly full of vile insults for their gracious hosts. Be very careful what you wish for as you just might get it. ofenmanucom: |

In other climes he might have been the target of a drone strike but naija is an accommodating democracy.

Self respecting or not today she can buy and sell you and has hundreds of your unfortunate kinsmen back home on her scholarship scheme. I don't think all the ezes gave her all those titles because she lacked self respect.

GEJ borrowed $1b to fight earlier this year yet he couldn't stand BH since as we all now know the money meant for guns was spent on campaigning and settlement. The fact that a clueless govt couldn't stand BH doesn't mean naija can't stand BH or fight a war if it has to. And that is why we needed #Change! kernel504: |

I hope you don't ever make the mistake of citing Wiki in any academic work. As for needing money to start a war I hope you know Charles Taylor spent only $2m to set Liberia on fire and take over the country. We might not have money for schools or salaries but we have plenty of billions for war. As for oil pipelines: about half naija's production is now from deep offshore which a few frigates will easily protect from any 'bagger'. You are free to set your own backyard on fire. I hope when you finish polluting your farmlands and fisheries with oil you won't start shouting about another deliberate starvation policy.

You have conveniently forgotten that about half the Igbo nation is dispersed in the five other regions of naija where they are minorities and might not be allowed to get back to their home region intact if war breaks out. When are you guys going to start thinking through the likely dynamics of this madness you are about to unleash? If war starts today how many Igbo traders and their families do you think will come out of the North alive especially after IPOB has killed the few 1000s of Hausas it finds in the East? ugojamali: |

Was Yugoslavia war or genocide? What are the Serbian generals being tried for? When hatred gets to naija level war will always end up as genocide. While we are on it, what did the Nazis perpetrate against the Jews and other unfortunates? And don't be so sure you won't get the same gang up against Igbos this time around the way you have perfected the art of creating enemies and estranging friends.

Yes, it won't be a war but genocide with every man's hand raised against his neighbour. Those who think this will be Biafra reprised are seduced. Africa and Africans have gotten much richer, exposed to technology and have learnt to hate one another much more. Rwanda and Biafra were ~1m each. Congo is already more than 5m (Africa's WW). If Nigerians ever go to arms again as many as 20m will pay the ultimate price. No family will remain untouched and no surviving individual will escape without lifelong physical and other scars. Yes I know it can't happen but then we are all working very hard to make this impossible nightmare come to pass. ugojamali: |

Nigeria: One Step Away From Another Rwanda — Dec 8, 2015 7:44 am | Leave a comment By Simon Abah The founding fathers of the American society in the bid to win their freedom from Britain didn’t say,”wait until we get there,” enough to know what to do, how to run the affairs of the country when they get there. They knew what to do and framed agreements and concessions for a just society before they got there. It was no wonder then that they decreed religious freedom for all, tolerance for all even though that country was founded on christian principles. It was no wonder that the North took up arms against the south and other confederate states in a civil war to free the slaves when the Southerners failed to honour agreements to free them. President-Paul-Kagame But in Africa, Eritrea – had no fore plan on how to govern her people when she went to war with Ethiopia, and even though she got her independence, she is now in limbo after winning her freedom from Ethiopia. South-Sudan won her freedom and without shame today needs international bodies to teach her how to govern her oil rich country. No thanks to disintegration, Russia today is not strong to the days of Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev, and is still embroiled in a war with Chechnya, the southern Russian republic. This writer has had cause to speak to many people promoting irredentism these days and also watched many from close quarters and came to the conclusion that Nigeria is only a step away from another Rwanda. The Rwandan genocide which is in the public domain, didn’t happen at once. It took months of systematic planning, double-speak and the promotion of hate campaigns and what many thought a joke devastated a country in ways that can be compared to the pogroms in Hitlers’s Germany and Milosevic’s Yugoslavia. As I gobbled my meal recently in a restaurant in Port Harcourt, I overheard two young men from the south-east, a table away from mine, who couldn’t be up to 35 years if appearance are enough to judge a man’s age complain bitterly about “police brutality on people who were only protesting the cause for separatism, peacefully.” Such talk is understandable, but what isn’t agreeable to me was when I heard one say again, “that when war breaks, I will personally shoot saboteurs even if they are our brothers when they stand in our way to get our freedom.” I had to engage them healthily, giving second opinion on why war for the second time in Nigeria shouldn’t be contemplated, most of all by youngsters who do not know the pangs of war. Regrettably, we couldn’t reason together. Their minds were made up. I left them with a poser,”you may have a leader but not a government, failed republics fail because of the absence of real government and countries do not succeed only because they have good leaders.” One thing I noticed was the way, they were dressed, expensively! And wondered how they would dress and survive should war break? What plans do they have in place to administer the republic especially as they told me:”we will know what to do when we get our country.” [b]A few weeks before, after mass, for I am a Catholic, I heard a man of advanced years say emphatically to another, “we will break up this country and get our republic.” To think that he made such statement after leaving the Lord’s temple, left me wondering if he is truly a Christian. Today I look at him suspiciously. Not long ago, a Knight that I know took the same stance as the man in the foregoing. This Knight is wealthy, highly exposed individual, those kinds who go a golfing. Academics have joined the fray, giving ideological backing to struggles, and to read statements such as this, is now common, “Every nation or group of people is entitled to national movements. No one can deny a nation the right to self-determination. If a group of people, or a nation within a bigger nation, desires secession, it should be given a chance to articulate its desires. It is after a clear picture emerges that negotiations will begin.” Those academics sit on pedestals, yet clearer picture it would appear isn’t necessary from the get-go. A grey beard chief, told me,”that our boys in Aba really tried by carrying out the protest march.” What are these elderly ones teaching youngsters? What happened, happens and are happening in the name of irredentism is not the activity of adventure-conquerors, certainly not misguided youths trying to get cheap popularity, or make money. Like Rwanda, it is sponsored by the elders, state and prominent people who pretend not to be interested in the activities of these,’misguided youths,’ but behind-the-scene, give, the ‘misguided youths,’ moral and financial backing.[/b] How else can you rationalize a situation where a youngster who hasn’t got the dole of democracy from the government in his region and was forced to move out and struggle to eke a living in Port Harcourt and elsewhere assume that secession will automatically solve all of his life’s challenges? Various research have shown that people display high levels of belligerence, grandstanding, intemperate behaviours, etc., especially those with dull speculative resume, when they are brainwashed by the state, educated elites and the informed who choose to educate wrongly. Remember Hitler and his butchering rowdies, some clerics in the north and dangerous preachments prior to numerous religious crisis, in the north, and now the elites in the south-east are doing the same. It is not enough to tersely say publicly that “the protests do not have the support or blessing of the leaders of the zone.” The Rwandese did likewise before the genocide. Our youths, have veered off the right path. No thanks to the elites, educated, academics, political class and the religious. I know so. I see the puckered brow the youth wear when I ask that we reason together. I see hatred on faces and hear swapping denunciations. The minds are really locked. Who will open them? We are on our way quickly to Rwanda. A forbidden prospect. While I still remember, those who look up to members of the international community, should bear in mind how they double-speak when issues concerning Africa come to public attention. Rwanda and the Nigerian civil wars are cases in point. Simon Abah Port Harcourt Rivers State http://www.leadership.ng/opinions/481641/nigeria-one-step-away-another-rwanda 3 Likes |

Shouldn't Igbos be more concerned that so many Igboid sub groups are hell bent on not identifying with the mother group? Yorubas would search themselves if their peeps in Kwara and Kogi or those who emigrated to Warri were to consistently deny history and seek to break any connection. Even with the Edos the quarrel is over who is 'older' and not the existence of a connection. A father whose children decide to disown his name should ask himself where he went wrong. Raining curses on those children isn't the way forward. May God restore peace among my in-laws. 6 Likes |
