Please, present some as it relates to this topic. Don't you want to learn something for a change?

cap28:
Blazay - can you answer a few of the following questions for me -

If the January coup was an "igbo coup" why did the likes of major ademoyega, lieutenant fola oyewole - all yoruba officers
and  the following n northerners - atom kpera, husa kanga, musa manga, lekoja gidan jibrin, bako lamundo, joseph goji, lagwin goshit, yakubu kaje and many other non commissioned northern soldiers participate in this coup?

Also if the igbo officers involved were doing so in order to take over, why did they plan on releasing Awo from jail once the coup succeeded?

You say igbos set the tone of distrust and acrimony in nigeria - if that was indeed the case why were the yorubas rioting over the appointment of Akintola as premier of the western region in 1962 which led Balewa to declare a state of emergency?

You have described igbos as being bloodthirsty but there were in total 9 civilian casualties of the January 66 coup and 12 soldiers, of the 9 civilian casualties 5 were corrupt politicians, lets contrast that with the casualties of the July 66 coup -  FORTY FIVE OFFICERS were killed and of those 45,  THIRTY SEVEN were igbo, in addition approximately 300 igbo NCO's were killed by northern soldiers - some of whom were their class mates.

I have not even included the thousands of innocent igbos that were massacred in the north, therefore can you explain to me how you have come to the conclusion that the igbos are bloodthirsty murderers while northerners are peaceful people.

Only one answer to all of the above.

The Igbos started the whole mess and when others joined, little did they know that there were saboteurs in their midst. What ever happened after that ill-conceived coup was not in anyone's control. Never mind what came after that. Why a few non-commissioned Hausas?

If the Igbos did not start that so-called anti corruption mayhem within the Nigerian army, others would not have had the reason to over-react.

So, the civilians were corrupt, the best thing to do was to go on a killing rampage?

You guys never fail to amaze me. I will not even get into the details of the coup that subsequently led to the civil war(the result of the Nzeogwu-Ojukwu rivalry)

Nzeogwu started the coup and Ojukwu started the Biafra war. . . see where we are now.

Thanks to the Igbos.

When will all these tabloid-peppersoup politics end?
See what GEJ has reduced politics to in Nigeria?
Atiku should watch his utterances, but GEJ should not do the same?

The Deep-Throats within the PDP have started squealing.

A member of the PDP NEC who pleaded anonymity disclosed to The Guardian that the meeting was highly charged as President Jonathan allegedly warned the governors of the consequences for all stakeholders, if they dared to abandon him.

[size=16pt]The threat prompted some of the governors to hurriedly organise a gathering to endorse the president.[/size]

The NEC member quoted President Jonathan as having told the governors at the meeting:

“You have given me assurances of support but some of you are secretly campaigning for another candidate. I can’t stand here and be humiliated by you. Everything I have asked for, you have refused to give me. No president anywhere has been treated by his party the way you are treating me.”

Just imagine the konkonbility!

excanny:
It's hilarious how you contradict yourself in a space of 5 minutes.

Your knowledge of history is as warped as that of a fourth grader. Maybe you also need to take the advice I gave earlier to someone in the same boat as you: You need to attend an adult class.

Here comes another comprehension-challenge test.
Some can really read but cannot understand.
No wonder you all are stuck in the diaspora driving taxis!

I repeat. . .the average Nigerian is unruly.
But when it comes to classification. . .going by Nigerian history. . ,the IGBOS are the worst(Confulsed and selfish!)
The Northerners the most peaceful even with all their religious and sectarian violence.
Did the Northerners cause the breakdown of the Nigerian concept? NO!

The Igbos did.
Full final stop!

Glad you were punished severely. . . .and you paid dearly with a lot of innocent lives.
Where is the contradiction there?
Well, it is excanny of all people.
Should we be surprised?
The whole of NL knows you have a major problem with verbal and written skills.
Where does that leave your comprehension level?
In the pits of course.

Please get one of those literate Igbos. . .that can read and write in the Igbo language in the culture section of NL to interprete for you.
Hopefully, that would not be a challenge.

Ciao!

Blame everything on the Hausa/Fulani.
Including the killin of Bola Ige.
Kidnappers, ritualists, home-grown terrrorists and prosti-tutes from the Southern parts of Nigeria.

Arrrrrrrantus Nonsensicus!

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=570446.msg7358651#msg7358651 date=1292626396]Don't mind them. Jonathan said he is Igbo way before yaradua entered the government and I have done my research and discovered that he is from a small community in Bayelsa that was part and parcel of Igbo Rivers state. They became Bayelsa through state creation. So, his people actually speak Igbo and not Ijaw.[/quote]I hope Ojukwu agrees witcha.lol

Good. . .next please.

So it makes me wonder, do we still have men who can boldly say in all truthfulness, that they have been 100% faithful to their marriages? Married women, if you're 100% certain about your husband's fidelity, you completely trust him, please, let's know.

Sorry.
I don't know any.
Not a requirement for my matrimony.
Not a prerequisite of African marriages.

But we are now. . . having done it all.
You have to do it all to be able to satisfy all righteousness.

It takes two to tango.
The laws of demand and supply too.

Like they were going to work prior to the announcement?
Every one has taken off since Dec 20th.
Nigerians do not need this kind of permission to be off duty.

buzugee:
i would love to join some kinda force in nigeria for my protection. one of my family friends went into NDA in nigeria when he was a kid. now he is a brigadier general in the army and he is very young. when i went to nigeria to visit some time ago, i rolled with him. anytime we got to checkpoints when he produced his army credentials all the policemen saluted and some even prostrated for him when he goes through customs they just salute him and wave him through. this is the kind of treatment i demand when i am in naija. i refuse to be a victim to checkpoint harrasment

I thnk you just failed the first test.
You talk too much.

Buhari ain't got no loot.
You don lose.

chyz:
I would hope to think you would not choose any of those northern candidates(expect ribadu) over GEJ. Ribadu would have been good but he screw himself when he let his campaign drag. Buhari is a religious bigot and will try to get sharia courts established all over nigeria in the disquise of "they are just there for the muslim communities". I know you dont want that. Also we shouldnt be focusing on the presidency of igbo bur more of getting our house built and getting back in the scheme of things federally. If we get what we need form GEJ then why should he leave 2015? But it doesnt mean we shouldnt plan just incase we are not given what we have been asking for years upon years.

Arrrantus Nonsensicus!
Damn right!
He is Igbo. . .Ijebu Igbo!

Moviing closer to Abuja airport around that time.
Time to evacuate my family first.
Thank God I would have fled the area by the first week of January.
Hope no snow over there o.
I would prefer to hang out in Dakar instead of Nigeria.

Phew!

How many Nsimans do we have on NL with all these double postages?
