Who is the cause of the confusion in Nigeria? Okay, Ive really been thinking about this for a minute now: are the Ibos the cause of the political logjam always being encountered in Nigeria? What brought about this thought is a pattern I have suddenly realized about the Ibos. It seems to me that whenever there is a problem on the Nigerian political scene (I.E think Abacha and, most recently, Yar Dua), the Ibos always somehow manage to show strong support for the Dictators.  For example, I just read that while the whole world was calling for the removal of Abacha as head of Nigeria, a group, headed by an Ibo man by the name Daniel Kanu.

  Also, recently, I have also read that while the whole world was  asking for power to be transferred from a semi-dead Yar Dua to Jonathan, another group led by ~~u guessed it~~~ an Ibo man was running around town asking that people continue supporting a Yar Dua presidency. This is absurd!!! Do these Ibo men that carry out such detrimental actions really do so because they believe in the cause they champion, or, is this just a case of the common stereotype about the Ibos that "they'll do anything for money"??!?

  I wonder why Ibos on here complain about the situation in Nigeria when their continuos support of dictators is a major setback to the developmet of the country.

  Finally, do the Ibos realize that their actions outside of Nigeria increasingly gives Nigerians a bad name outside its shores? They are involved in everything from Advance fee fraud, Drug dealing, Prostitution, Pimping, and worst of all, MURDER!!!! This last crime is not committed by only Ibo males; it is also increasingly being committed by its females as well. This is a scary situation, as (according to sources ) most non-Nigerians in the U.S have now sworn off dating people of Ibo origin for fear of being murdered by their spouses if things go south!

   This text is not meant to castigate the Ibos but to bring to light issues that they'd rather hide or sweep under the carpet! This text is meant to shine the light on the Ibos' actions all over the world and to encourage them to change and become the loving, gentle, law abiding citizens we know they can be if they put their hearts and minds to it!!!

^^^^oh shoot u right, my bad^^^

nnn

Abekeade, its official I'm in luv wit ya! I dream of u all d time now! I've even booked our honeymoon hotelin hawaii. I got u ur valentine gifts where Ima drop em off ? And don't ask me to give em to Plat cus I know she might try to keep em! Well, then again, since I didn't buy u "green contacts" maybe she won't try to keep them to replace the ones she got already!

^^^^ you mean teeth for a tooth, not tooth for teeth^^^

Go back to school and learn how to write readable English before entering into any discourse with me. Why can't kids of these days stay in school?  

Trust me bro, Ive seen u write numerous times, and I know that in a contest to decide who has a better grasp of written english your brain will implode in submission!!! I write that way most times cus I just pretend I'm talking to my boys. Why try to be like these Ibo boys on here like Dede1, MeNTAL Gong and co who scour through the dictionary, lookin for big jargonic words to include in their sentence(s), hoping that it would somehow earn them the respect of their friends or the awe of their foes?!!?! Another reason I write in ebonics is for folks such as urself to have an easy understanding of the message I'm trying to convey, we gotta remember, english is not your first language and I dont write in jargon Ibo!!!

aloy-emeka:
The best response so far. I am sorry to inform you that the rest of Nigeria will rather accuse and curse the Igbo than say I'm sorry. The Northerners have been massacring the Igbos years before the independence and it did not start from the civil war yet the igbo haters will close their eyes to that part of the history and focus on crucifying Ojukwu.

The white people apologized for apartheid, slavery and these Nigeria government/Awolowo apologists enjoyed that apology yet they will rather die than accept that Awolowo was a demon incarnate. What sort of man plans for a complete annihilation of a race simply because he habors tribal sentiments?. I can only remember two, Hitler and Idi Amin. Obafemi Awolowo is the 3rd.

[size=14pt]
Biafran war apart, I will never forgive any person who pursues his/her agenda at the expense of young children. The spirit of those igbo children who died in millions because Awolowo starved them will surely chase him to the bottomless abyss. Crime against children is no joke and when I see people try to justify his actions because he gave them free education using their money, I weep for Africa. Do these people also know that Hitler defended the Aryans, took what belonged to the Jews and gave it to hungry Germans yet the children and grand children of these beneficiaries, most of whom would have died from starvation if not for what Hitler did during the holocaust boldly condemned his actions. Are they not supposed to be praising Hitler like some Yorubas eulogize Awolowo?[/size]

The evil committed by Awolowo and his cronies will never depart that land known as Nigeria. The evil that men do truly lives after them.

Apologize for what? Why dont yall ask Ojukwu to apologize for being a ignorant, narcissistic, cowardly, freaking thug, huh??!? As much as I despise war, and hate the fact that innocent folks died during the Biafran war, the fact remains that war is war!!!! ANY, AND , EVERYTHING IS FAIR IN WAR!!! Starving people was terrible, but, fam, its a time of war! Why feed the enemy? So, he can have the strength to come after me? Yall ibos are funny effers. Krusty the clown azz niggaz, thats wut u is!!! In another 5 years or so, knowing you Ibos, U will start complaining that the Nigerian govt was evil becus during the war they refused to supply yall with guns, planes, tanks, and even trained soldiers. lol. u guys are a funny buncha I gotta tell ya

^^^^Arrghhh, Shut the eff up, pleaasssee!!!! WANNA-BE PATRIOT!!!! Yes, the other poster was pessimistic, u know why? Cus u guys are a buncha cowards!!! What do u think will change if u guys dont line up ur buncha thieving politicians and shoot them "one by one"? Ur country will NEVER develop or rise as long as u guys dont stand up to the occasion and chase those thieves in govt away!!!

@poster: Binch, u just a ho, aint nothn wrong wit that. Just remember to gaggle after each time u swallow!!!

I "kinda" dated this crazy ho from the benin/ishan tribe. Binch was mad violent.Even if I decided to go steady with her, her violence would have kept me away. She always boasted of how she gave her exes crazy problems. One day, I got mad that she hit me for no reason and I had to beat the ho down; funny thing, she loved it!!! In her warped way of thinking she always said if a guy hit her it showed he loved her; I guess that's one of the main reasons I always refrained from hitting her:I aint wanna send the wrong impression! Well, the day I hit her back was the last time she seen me! So, no, a violent person, of either gender, is best avoided!!!

platinumnk:
Since when did I become a groupie ? Do you even know what a groupie is? Abeg, I just like a good party and dancing  
Wads of cash throwing aint nothing new, Im pretty sure nobody will do like Weezy does
If you got down in FreakNik then you are old too

And New Orleans is my home, again who can resist a good party?
LOL the only thing that came out the trips to Htown was hanging with Juvenile  

And Im sorry I dont really listen to rap because its the crap now, but Celebs from the North are poo. They dont know how to hang and have a good time. I met Young Jeezy and the guy is cool and humble and talks like a neighbor, nobody wants your stuffy New York people with your funny sounding accents.

50 Cent came to LA the 2 weeks and he was soo rude and arrogant, piece of  
And ATL parties are way better than NY

Do I know wut a groupie is?!!? I wish I could show u my real face on here then u can ask me that question again!!! Your sure nobody can make it rain like Weezy? Same weezy be throwing dollar bills in the air or real cash mixed up with fake moollah?!!? Puhleaaze. . . . .
Juvie is cool but he's like D list. Jeezy I dont know about and cant tell u about cus I never spoke to him. U definitely dont know Fif if u claim he's arrogant, thats one humble down to earth artist u'll ever meet!

r231:

Was the question directed at u? or, since when did your name change from r231 to Platinumk?!?!

platinumnk:
haba na, u must be older than me na, I was barely legal when they canceled FreakNik
u come to FreakNik but you have never been to Mardi GRAS?  

Dude u must come na, its gets buckwild, I mean WILD
2 years me and some buddies were on stage kicking with Mr. Collipark as he threw wads of cash in the crowds  

Cops film their TV show during that time, and Girls Gone Wild has cameras all down the street  

Matter of fact wheres that Tshirt  

You a groupie, u know that right?!!? Since throwing cash in the crowd gets u hot, when u come to NY in the summer, come watch me and my boys make it thunderstorm in the club!!!

r231:

So, Freaknik was the only good thing ur shallow brain could associate with ATL?!!?!

platinumnk:
LOL mardi gras is this weekend till tuesday the best time to go is saturday night!

Another groupie statement!!!

platinumnk:
yeah, no beaches in the A' but my good friends is in links with celebs, so I would get in all the hottest parties for free, plus I miss her, we used to sit in our dorms and be bored and be like, umm lets drive to Houston tonight, and 3 hours later we would party in Houston! lol and come back the next morning, I miss those random days

I think they stopped doing FreakNik in 2004! I was soo mad oo  

Houston is cool, I have more family there  

Cancun? haba its not that far but im afraid of swine flu lol

Yep, definitely a groupie!!! So, those random overnite trips to Houston never yielded a one nite stand? Who u think u fooling,Plat?

U wanna see bonafide celebs, not those glorified country monkeys like Shorty-Lo, Gucci Mane, Crime Mob (and other trash that wont be allowed in the top clubs in NY)? Then holla when u come to NY; but, u can only do that if u got Abekeade in tow!!!

@Platinumk:

platinumnk:
Its not racism its a blunt observation.

flying an aircraft? If both pilots sat down and said hey u fly tonight and tommor you fly?

The whole "submissive thing" leaves a nasty taste in my mouth

My mother told me to be with someone who respects me not some one who wants become my  "lordship"

So, basically, your mom advised you not to marry an Ibo man?!!?!? Very smart woman!!!

platinumnk:
