This OP must be sick Becos dis picture is false. This is the burial of one of the top members of WAR AGAINST INDECIPLINE in edo state, he was buried last year after his death. He died from an undisclosed sickness.
This picture were gotten frm on of Oshiomole aids fb page. Pls dis should be taken frm fb.

Been a member of a fraternity doesn't me u are useless or wayward. We all fraternize one way or d other. I do not support the killing of any soul.

Fraternity is meant for true brotherhood, love andd charity. Any member of any confraternity that oppress any individual is a coward.

My brother, if only this were true or remotely possible

Reality is in Edo state, not belonging means life is a balancing act once you step out of your house everyday because you're alone against a well organised and connected mob and no one's got your back.

funkybully:
Oshiomole boys.

U need to see these animals harass drivers in Benin, no wonder they behave d way they do. They have d backings of Edo state top govt officials.

Edo = cult haven.

Uniben ekosodin + ekpoma fools + oshiomole police = Edo cultism breeding ground

Been there

Lived there

For a Jew, you don't leave without a couple of bad and humilating memories

daddynasa:
wrong dearie. u can. only identify the senseless ones. confra na sense dem take dey play am.

Having schooled in Uniben, I wouldn't want to come across you in a dark alley unarmed, you belong to the most dangerous of the set. You must have been a sleeper/informant/spy or an executioner

prince3009:
Cultists wearing War Against Indiscipline garments? Which Indiscipline are they warring against? Perhaps the rival members they killed are the "indisciplined"...And this is happening under the watch of the State Government headed by Adams Oshiomolhe? The youths are killing themselves while he marries a foreigner and honeymoons away his time.

If Buhari really is serious about tackling corruption as he claims, then he has alot to do strating from some governors under his own cabinet and administration

I hate buhari passionately but if he can kill cultists one and all, I'll actually be forced to give him a thumbs up which if you've followed my posts will seem an impossibility

zicoraads:
And when someone says almost every household in Benin has a cultist innit...some peeps would be denying.

This is a fact

MKO4ever:
Why were they all wearing blue hat naa? Can't police just arrest them?

Because they are eiye members

Lobolintin:
God purnish you for saying a Nigeria... Say a calabarian .... If it's good thing nah Nigerian if its bad issue nah tribe ..




For all those calling me names. .. Fhansk a lot..
If its evil its always tribalism.segregating them away from Nigeria and mentioning the tribes involve. But if it's success its always A NIGERIA... .

shakazuldadon:
This thread won't be sweet because..........

Hahahahahaha

I can relate

Zico5:
This is pathetic, and some lunatics and insane persons on Nairaland re defending GEJ who under his watch these so called governors looted our common treasury. I don't know when we re to get it right in this country. If these people can still buy themselves into senate after looted the treasury die then we the masses re in problem. Some of us re living for just today forgetting their will be tomoro. But we thank God for this change. There is hope for Nigeria.

And they were persecuted under Obj abi? Or you're hallucinating that one chance Buhari will be able to clamp on them abi? Or does the clause immunity from prosecution exist in your private little utopia ?

The bolded says it all

You would be most at home in a las vegas casino with this train of thought

NewNigeriaMind:
The SS and SE Votes combined with SW and NE Votes is enough, the east has pledge to SW.

Why can't the south unite for this,


No permanent enemy on politics just permanent interest

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ooooh Gosh!!! You're very funny

Ipledge:
They sacrifice her for better thing,If she has been speeaker,osinbanjo might not be vp elect

My dear friend, correct your error!!!

A speaker of the H.O.R is functionally more powerful than the VP, that is of course unless the president decides to drop dead which will be an ace of spades for you if you can contrive that card into existence, so sacrificing a functionally more powerful S.O.T.H.O.Reps for a glorified errand boy(V.P) is not just bad, it actually is daft gambling

NewNigeriaMind:
Why is it that its Yorubas that always come out to be political right.

The analogy you gave, it's good you said brothers and sisters which means the people see themselves as that.

Now my question is, has the south east or south south ever, I repeat ever act like they are brothers with the south west?

Has the south east ever acted in the interest of the south west?

Give me one example where these people act in the interest of the south west.

When we voted OBJ en masse in 1999 and 2003, try n beat that

lexy2014:
autobiographies are documented histOry. Several people have written their autobiographies like mandela, awo, norman sschwarkopf, collin powel, olusegun obasanjo, khalid bin sultan †☺ mention a few. So u are saying that these autobiographies were subjected †☺ " periodical peer review by authorities in the field of history from neutral stances with impersonal and unbiased predispositions?"

How do authobiographies amount to or constitute as history?

RickRichards:
I've seen much better reconnaissance aircraft. GEJ surely has a case to answer.

Seen much better reconnaissance aircraft with whom?
How much is our defence budget
How much is those peoples defence budget?
How much do you pay in taxes?

How rich of him

Now he can go on CNN and al-jazeera and claim the tag of religious tolerance

Meanwhile back in his youth he led the group that beheaded an ibo man whose name we all know for wiping his infant son's arse with a page from the koran during abacha's regime in Kano

Also, does that bring the dead girl back to life

Political figures and symbolic gestures...... mtcheeeew!!!!

Actually, that will be the kinda change I will gladly embrace but sadly unlike the APC mantra of change (which only manifests as change of promises) we aren't going to receive this change.

Smoking seaweed has got you high n you feeling like Damn!!! this must be utopia

lexy2014:
if mine is verbose what will u call yours...simple? Did u read anything pre historic in my write up? In simpler english what u call history is a person's account of a past event which in any case is a story. They are all "once upon a time". Part of d raw material that forms documented history is peoples testimonies. If u read what I wrote earlier I told u that d major reason 4 such documentation whether on paper, stone etc, is 4 preservation and reference. A story doesn't qualify †☺ b history just cos its documented. Its history cos it happened. Yesterdays (30 april 2014) events, documented or not is history cos they happened

True a story doesn't qualify to be history just because it is documented, it qualifies to be history because it is documented and subjected subsequently to periodical peer review by authorities in the field of history from neutral stances with impersonal and unbiased predispositions, this doesn't mean they all agree on everything but they often more than not arrive at majority consensus on topical issues involved and this is how things are done in the world of academia.

lexy2014:
4d record, d reason y history is documented is 4d purpose of preservation and reference. Its very difficult †☺ preserve verbal history especially in its original form as a lot of details might get lost as it is being passed on. But with documentation, there's a higher chance it will b preserved without loosing its original form. After this, then whoever wants †☺ review can do that. But b4 documentation, someone gave an account. someone told a story., that's y its called HI-STORY

That is all just verbose, we aren't talking about some pre-historical period of some ancient empire here, we are talking about the socio-politico-economy of a not too distant Nigeria so I will require more than just word of mouth and personal opinion to consider your theory that pre-oil Nigeria was a more prosperous place than post-oil Nigeria and that you are yet to prove to me

Also, in actual sense, none documented events have never really been called historical, documented isn't necessarily ink on paper, it is also markings on cave walls, weavings in fabrics, sculpture and artwork, archaeological remains e.t.c anything that says we once existed and were once here, not disneyland tales that go like........................."once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a princess whose father locked her up in a dark room at the top of a tower in their magnificent castle.........................."

lexy2014:
what I heard from my dad and lecturers isn't nostalgia its history. Every society has a past and knowledge of that past is passed on from generation †☺ generation that's y d Jews were able †☺ stay in exile 4 centuries and could still find their way back home. I am wide awake that's y its not about technocrats. if it was, nigeria would have been a member of G7 cos we got a lot of technocrats. U can never have d best manpower, u can only make d best of what u have. That's were patriotism comes in and that's d drive that sees d need 4 improvement 4 one's society. Its patriotism that preserves d products of innovation. Its patriotism that drives change, change not just 4 pecuniary gain but better livelihood. Its patriotism that sustains a country with a lean budget and resources and makes a country with a fat budget invest and not waste. Its patriotism that makes a nation look within and gives it d strength †☺ rise above of its challenges victorious. It is patriotism that makes a country relevant in d global economic village u mentioned. It isn't just about oil money. oil money doesn't guarantee prosperity. Its how that money changes lives that guarantees prosperity. Oil money is transient and fleeting. It isn't d terra firma. Its d people. Oil or no oil, its d people: U and ME

If it were history my friend, it would be documented and impersonal and subject to proofreading and academic peer reviews, word of mouth falls under the category of folklores, tales, myths and legends and are not academically qualified as history. The jews had their history recorded in the books of kings and chronicles not mere word of mouth. And like I told you the best of what we have, the best of what any nation has is always up for sale at the international auction house to the highest bidder so if patriotism is the currency you intend trading with then you've already lost the bid at this auction house and am not saying this about Nigeria alone, am saying this about the world in general give or take a few North Korea's so my friend patriotism is highly overrated and is just a slogan bandied about mostly by politicians and motivational speakers, the world we live in today is about self actualisation first, profit next and everything else behind or you won't see major U.S industries being shipped of to china to cut cost of production(mostly in wages and benefits). Money rules the world my friend, and if Nigeria can't afford to spend....................just forget it.

SergeAlain:
I am sure the private investors wont mind, once you cough up the $2.5b they paid you in total for the assets plus any bank interest that has accrued since then, plus amounts they have since invested in replacing old transformers etc.

Sorry did i mention you also have to invite back the old PHCN workers most of whom had already been handsomely paid off, and then continue paying them salaries!!! Will be nice to see how you do this while also providing school meals, paying unemployment benefits to graduate along with all the other wonderful promises that underlined the change agenda.

This is without mentioning the terrible impact this will have on investor confidence when you then want to invite investors to build your railways, manage your airports etc.

Goodluck (Not GEJ oo) to you all, you will certainly need plenty of Patience( not PEJ oooo) over the next 4 years on power supply if GMB takes this poison pill advice from Atiku.

Hahahahaha

Aigbofa:
He was only about 27 when he was trying to dislodge the Biafrans. I'm sure he made some mistakes but he was a damn good soldier.

Mistakes that cost 25,000 lives in less than a year without much territorial gain to account for this waste?

And my uncle was only 19 when he started fighting for him as a Sargent so Please tell me, what sane military or nation would condone or forgive that this century?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_OAU

Kei144:
All these Adekunle's talk any time Ojukwu is brought up; Adekunle was never at the same level as Ojukwu. You should compare Adekunle with Ojukwu's commanders, like Achuzia. As for Adekunle's performance, he began his operation OAU (Owerri, Aba, Umuahia) with 35,000 soldiers. A short time into the operation, 23,000 of the soldiers had been killed by the Biafrans. From that point onwards, Adenkunle behaved erratically, for which reason he was replaced with Obasanjo. He later attributed his erratic behavior to war fatigue. The total number of Baifran soldiers that faced Adekunle was not up to 5,000 and they were very poorly armed compared to Adekunle's soldiers; yet, they so killed Adekunle's soldiers that Adekunle became became deranged.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_OAU

Thank you my friend, records never lie, but for fate and doggedly loyal subordinates, my uncle would have been among the faceless multitude of adekunle's human sacrifice to the biafrans, when lousy yoruba noisemakers start mouthing adekunle this black scorpion that it irritates me to the marrow, many of these fools have never seen a weapon shot in fear or desperation, they don't know how energy sapping a gruelling military campaign is, they don't know how demoralising the belief whether rightly or wrongly that your commanding officers loyalty isn't certain or that his troops which constitute you and your mates are just mere figures and numbers to him.......but they read books written by partisan military officers loyal to their own and if the person is from their tribe, they conclude foolishly that he was the greatest military genius that ever lived forgetting that in the military, genius status is only revealed and confirmed when you fight and win against great odds, the odds were never against adekunle, but he blundered through his campaign like a half drunk half mad witless dunce.

Another military general comes to mind when you talk about mass assaults and that is grant who fought on the side of the yanks during the american civil war, difference with him was he made it clear from the moment he assumed command that his victories were going to be won at the cost of his troops lives and people understood what to expect and even his troops didn't begrudge him their lives seeing as they willingly fought and died for him without retreating, same can not be said of adekunle before somebody starts drawing erroneous historical similarities here between adekunle, grant, kruschyev and others

Aigbofa:
Adekunle made Biafrans pee in their pants, you don't get that through politicking.

And am not biafran but am telling you that adekunle is a fraud, for me, OBJ has more military credibility than him

lexy2014:
if I needed a comparative analysis I would have asked fƠ̴̴̴̴͡я̲̅ it. D reason u weren't able answer my question with a point blank answer is cos folks like u still feel that d economic success of nigeria is a function of what we have in d ground. What determines a nations economic success isn't how much they have in d ground, its how much they have in their head.2 nations come †☺ mind, Germany and Japan(I no u will say they are much older than nigeria). They have every reason not 2b developed by reason of d monumental losses(human, financial,political and infrastructural,technological e.t.c.) they incurred during WW2. This coupled with d fact that they aren't oil producing nations and they have little or nothing in d ground. So how did they get WЂε̲̣̣̣̥я̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ they are today? With all our oil can nigeria compare with them in anyway? They used what they have in their head. Coming back home †☺ answer your questions, yes there has been more monEy †☺ spend cos of oil that's y Gowon once said as head of state we have so much money we don't no what †☺ spend it on. D oil came with money(late 60s/ early 70s) but it also came with mismanagement hence we started seeing inflation 4d first time, massive corruption leading †☺ greater inequality, poverty, neglect of several areas of public life,environmental degradation of ND, d do or die attitude †☺ get into power cos of d juice and now d oil is ours and ours alone mentality. B4 d advent of oil yes there was poverty I don't no what percentage. When I remember d stories from my dad and my lecturers of how nigeria was compared †☺ now, I will say yes they were more successful back then. When I read history books and accounts of people who formed d history of nigeria I say yes they were more successful back then even with their agriculture. Success isn't just measured in terms of how much money nigeria makes from oil everyday but also in terms of how that money has brought peace and prosperity †☺ d lives of d people of nigeria. Did they have better peace and prosperity with groundnut, cocoa and palm oil? Yes sir they did. Did they go †☺ better public schools? Was access †☺ medical care better?was there lesser inequality? Employment fƠ̴̴̴̴͡я̲̅ graduates? They didn't have as much as we have now neither were they as technologically advanced but they were better managers d economy then than we are now. Income has increased many times more cos of oil(so has knowledge), things ought †☺ b much better now

The stories you heard from your dad and your lecturers can be aptly described by one word "nostalgia" that word blunts the force of painful blows over time and dulls the edge of pain felt over time and yes I put it to you that Nigeria became more prosperous and better of after the discovery of oil but that is not to say I disagree with your analysis
And about innovation and human resources being the most reliable driving factor behind "sustainable" economic development, I agree with you but I also want to emphasise again that in this global economic village we live in, even that innovation and the best manpower go to the highest bidders which Nigeria isn't even among even with our oil money so tell me, without this oil money, what use will having some of the best technocrats and innovators be to our country and economy? Or are you still living in the utopia where people do things solely out of patriotism and love of country? If you are please wake up!!

BlackTechnology:
Exactly what Alabi Isama said


A bloody Coward.

I just taya oh!

Seems the only place southwesterners are able to make a name for themselves in the army is as commanding officers after rising through the ranks through politicking
It is hard and rare for you to find a yoruba soldier attaining cult hero status among the rank and file for sheer grit, bravery, daredevilishness and ability to inspire others.

stinggy:
The same line we've always heard. So we should believe your 'unbias' uncle than the books?

Did I write or sound like I give a flying fvck about what or whose account you choose to believe?

My uncle was an officer who fought under him, was shot when his general went AWOL and he was unable to fight to defend himself despite being armed for lack of an affirmative directive from his superiors, was dragged bleeding and semi-concious through miles of jungle by his retreating subordinates and woke up in a military hospital and you expect me to take some books account over his word of mouth abi? Believe what you must, I don't care..........black scorpion indeed

And besides, what reason would my uncle have to be biased? Survivors guilt? Please

We don't need any yeye amnesty program or Niger Delta Ministry. What we need is Resource Control and True Federalism.
