Drabeey:Return loots like the imaginary $700million found in diezanis house right? loot like the alleged recovered loot returned by unnamed ghosts right? return loots like the alleged $2.1billion dasuki arms scandal while only about $300million is being prosecuted for by the EFCC? return loots like the CBN's missing $40billion according to sanusi which the current APC government have found it convenient not to talk about one year into office after using it as campaign propaganda right? is your brain incapable of independent and objective analysis or are you just plain old sycophantic i wonder? Tell me, how much loot have you gathered in your ”airhead" from the pages of newspapers? And yet you call someone else empty head ![]() |
OmoAjowa7:Now that is the real fact! These miscreants are as ijaw as they are yoruba and military(the joint venture stakeholders in the illegal bunkering activity) the problem here is trying to assign all the discredit to the ijaw alone for Niger Delta propaganda shock value!! That is where this bias reporting failed and as a Niger Deltan i will resist that. Funny thing is most of these miscreants of ijaw ethnicity being villified here were born and raised in the creeks around lagos/ogun, are married and settled among the indigenous yorubas there and have never been to ondo much less the Niger Delta proper, so exactly how Niger Deltan are they beyond their ethnicity? ![]() |
tbaba1234:Is english comprehension your bane? ![]() Or did you miss the part that said that conference already took place in may or the link providing the itinerary of the FLOTUS as being S.A to Liberia to Morocco to spain? Am Sorry for your propaganda misfire!! kpele |

Ecobank is a criminal bank!!!! I stopped transacting with my account shortly after they debited my N10,000 without paying me in lagos since last year! Even after i have gone to their customer care severally in different branches and different states! When they were oceanic bank you would have received an alert on the refund of your money in less than 5mins but not anymore since sanusi lamido ruined the bank and inflicted this eco management on us! May thunder fire but sanusi and ecobank #ecobankiscriminal ![]() |
SleekAboki:You'll probably support this coup if true especially if carried out and benefited from by officers from your part of the country given the fact that PMB is obviously dying just so as to prevent power from leaving your region! YES!!!!! We can deduce all these too ![]() |
TeamSimple:A friend of mine lives at oluwakemi, so i know the guy has a point, the majority of those involved in the bunkering were of ijaw origin, but they were never alone, their collaborators and beneficiaries were diverse from landlords, residents, military and even a politician or two.... The main grouse now is the non-release of the corpse of their slain leader, the military and police posted there are proving next to useless, always arriving after the act, people are fleeing in droves and i don't see this cycle stopping anytime soon |
Sincere4u:List please |
ALAYORMII:You are right! That exactly is what happened, I have been there thrice during the week, while commercial and economic activities are unaffected around agric and owutu, the interior parts is palpating with fear |
iykmora:My bad ![]() |
SIRcumalot:Marius used not aligned with saturninius when he was only a promising and brilliant tribune of the plebs but when saturninius grew wings and went demagouge, marius as dictator sanctioned his murder by sulla and his aristocratic goon squad ![]() |
obstead200:The dragons are still young, they can be killed and in westeros, men knew how to wage wars against dragons, I hope they haven't forgotten! Though it seems they have forgotten outside westeros so the seven kingdoms rolling over for danny not gonna happen |

armadeo:The link for A sworn sword isn't in Gbola5's post. I don't know if digital versions of these books are available but the authors name is colleen McCullough and the first book in that series i think is "first man in rome" others are "fortune's favourites" "grass crown" "ceasar" "ceasar's women" amongst others. |

Phew! ![]() Finally Welcome back from e-siberia D9ty7 ![]() |
Are we still on this? okay if you insist ![]() SIRcumalot: ![]() 2 triumph bro,two.for my boy Pompey he learnt that the hard way! If his troops had been green, he would have been annihilated by sertoriuses superior tactics, his troop paid the cost in heavy decimation and loss of lives because he was an inept and unqualified general, there is a reason why only consuls were allowed to lead armies and the truth is simple - age and leadership experience Concerning his politics same as young marius he became consul very young before the constitutionally set time by fiat or the threat of an army of occupation not loyal to rome but loyal to its general and rome was under sullas dictatorship by then and sulla facilitated this to pander to pompeys bloated ego! Sulla promptly dispatched him to go and get mauled by sertorius in spain because he knew that engaging sertorius himself would be costly to him so what better way to do it than to send a bumbling idiot with a private army? Marius for all his military brilliance, isn't that much of a politician, he relies heavily on bribing tribunes of the pleb and senators than actual political machination,same as Pompey. [b] you're kidding right ? What is more political than bribery? every single politician who could afford it bribed multiple times over and over and over again even the self proclaimed sanctimonious political purist cato had to make the boni bribe in certain elections despite creating the anti-bribery court Marius and ceasar are prime politicians because they didn't just bribe mindless oafs, they bribed men of intellect and pedigree knowing there is a prime tool for every job and many of their clients later became consuls so how can you compare pompey to them? Also most times marius and ceasar didn't need to bribe, their name alone associated with any candidate was enough to guarantee victory for that candidate as they were extremely popular with the capite censi and knights of the first and second class or else why do you think sulla determined to ruin marius because he showed up on the day of his consulship procession while still recovering from stroke? Because marius stole his show and day of glory ![]() Yes pompey leveraged his private army to attain consulship at a much younger age and sulla flattered and acquiesced him under his dictatorship but to true roman politicians like marius and ceasar who followed the "maos honorarium" that can never be an achievement because it was victory without rivalry and no true roman noble can call himself great unless his adversaries and opposition are great and formidable too. Greatness is only confirmed when you thrive in the midst of great adversaries. Remember scaurus princeps senatus saying he loved marius as much as he hated him? Cicero thanking ceasar for his help in the dolabella issue? Now those are great men! Their rivals were happy to have them around Anyway if that is an achievement then gaius marius junior beat him to it by attaining consulship at a much younger age and by leveraging not on a private army but his fathers iconic popularity[/b] Bear in mind I haven't read the last two book but I know how history plays out seeing as how taking Julia Brutus may've started the ball rolling to the ides of march that mayn't have been ceasear best idea. [b]get this simple fact ceasar was opposed from day one of his birth by various great people for various reasons having nothing to do with him having done anything wrong e.g by marius because a seer prophesied he will be greater than him, by sulla because he saw himself in ceasar and was unhappy his son died while ceasar thrived, by lucullus because he was too handsome and highborn and could make foreign rulers obey his wishes even when he had no official authority, by cato because ceasar was a profligate womaniser and therefore immoral in his eyes and represented everything he wasn't, by the boni because he refused to be bought despite being poor and to them he represented everything sulla was despite the fact that he did nothing of that sort and followed the "maos honorarium" in his political career, by marcus tullius cicero because ceasars existence relegated him from legal genius status to mere legally brilliant, by bilbulus because it was to him better to fail and make ceasar fail too than to succeed together and allow ceasars brilliance to be seen I can go on and on but i'll stop there, the ides of march wasn't ceasars doing but the doing of his numerous enemies who were determined to bring him down no matter the cost to the republic and themselves and ceasar true to his nature instilled in him from infancy by the great lady aurelia his mother was always magnanimous to his opponents again and again after defeating them because he believed that as a true roman nobleman he needed strong opposition in his political career in order to be called great until finally they resorted to plain old murder carried out by themselves to kill ceasar, ceasar couldn't have seen that one coming because as a nobleman he couldn't have done that much less expect other noblemen who he forgave again and again to do that to him and rightly so ceasars partisans never forgave as they went after his killers and didn't spare their lives with octavius his adopted son emerging victorius eventually and literally unchallengable thus ending the republic and birthing the empire[/b] SULLA. [b] Marius could have if he set his mind to it, so could ceasar but those two deemed such methods as being far below them to condescend to, imagine poisoning by a man? He reminds me of oberyn martell in G.O.T while marius was more like tywin lannister and ceasar a much more upgraded version of tywin lannister. Sullas control of the piglet centered around hero worship but when ceasar and marius controlled men, the men always felt it was in their own interests to be on their side (check ceasar and pompey ) How did handling the rumours of homosexuality affect their careers significantly ? Both men were extremely gorgeous and extremely well born, Sulla was bisexual ceasar was straight so of course ceasar was angrier that such a rumour was attached to him by his opponents and how they handled it showed ceasars savvyness while sulla went underground, hid and denied himself the pleasure of his male lovers until he became a dictator and didn't give a damn, ceasar didn't expend an iota of his energy denying that he was homosexual, he rather went around seducing the wives of all his accusers one by one and allowed the knowledge to become public and they all had to divorce their wives and thus the accusation of homosexuality died a natural death He didn't make ceasar pontifex maximus because of him being a threat, he did it because of the prophecy that ceasar would be greater than marius his nemesis and ceasar being a roman of the patrician class like him was a perfect revenge by him upon marius so that another patrician like himself would outshine the then greatest roman of all time marius who was a plebian. He undid mariuses cage of making ceasar flamen dialis which precluded him from a political and military career thereby freeing him to go and be great like the prophecy foretold Yes he should have killed ceasar because in ceasar he saw a replica of himself only a better version, gorgeous, patrician, unyielding, arrogant, brilliant, without fear with exception that ceasar followed the maos honorarium but sulla couldn't know that, for all he knew, ceasar would end up a dictator like himself and why should he have killed ceasar? Because ceasar called his dictatorship and suspension of the rule of law illegal and refused to repudiate his uncle marius ? Guess what? According to the laws and statues of rome, ceasar was right plus he was only a sixteen year old kid then[/b]CEASEAR . [b] he ceasar was represented as history recorded him to be Q.E.D And on his baldness in his sixtees, blame his mother aurelia aurelian males tend to baldness and you would agree with me that ceasars brilliance and steel were aurelian traits so why not his baldness ![]() We don't both agree that sulla defeated marius on a battlefield as that never happened! The only armed conflict between both of them was on sulla's coup when he matched his army into rome and became the first roman in history to break that law and marius had to arm untrained mobs to oppose them which understandably was an exercise in futility against a fully commissioned army forcing marius and all his supporters to flee from rome. When marius assembled an army and came back, sulla and his army had gone to asia to fight the pontic king mithridiates which was the bone of contention between him and marius in the first place, of course by then marius was half mad because of the humiliation a great man like himself was made to suffer by his one time right hand man when he fled, he was mad to the extent that people who knew him well subtly tried to fight against him being part of or in charge of the army, people like his own son gaius marius junior and quintus sertorius his nephew but the rest of the public only saw what they knew of him, marius the iconic saviour of rome until it was too late and he unleashed his madness induced illogical killing spree on them but if a senile(not mad) marius took to the field against sulla, he would have beaten sulla for while sulla was a very quick and adaptable learner, he still remained a student compared to marius who designed his military tactics on his own intuition. Even sulla was relieved when he came back from asia knowing marius had died from a third stroke ![]() Ceasar was mocking arhenobabuses achievement in gaul across the alps which was a roman territory conquered and founded by his grandfather and which he naturally thought should remain exclusively, one of his clans spheres of influence, and mind you, that territory was less than 1/12 of gaul in total, the other parts of gaul were the proper barbarian gaul and they normally invaded roman gaul whenever they felt like and that was the part that ceasar conquered and subjugated including reconquering roman gaul when they rebelled. Let me put this into perspective for you, remember the germanic horde that marius defeated? Remember how they massacred roman army after roman army until marius came and defeated them? Okay, remember that during the exodus like migration of these millions of germans, the only gaellic territory they ravaged was gaul across the alps which was a roman colony but when they migrated through barbarian gaul, they negotiated their way through by working as farm labourers for the gauls in exchange for safe passage not by fighting, these are the gauls that ceasar conquered so if marius could be labelled great for defeating these germans, shouldn't ceasar be called great too for defeating the gauls that these germans were afraid to fight? ![]() [/b] Oh my fingers ache........this was lengthy ![]() |
