obailala:
Bro, so you mean even with the story conveyed in this thread that it wasnt Ifeanyi Ubah's Capital O&G, you still insist on making this sort of ridiculous comment?

For crying out loud, what kind of psychological affliction are some of my Igbo brothers suffering from?

Who will heal my people?

Persecutory delusions with intermittent delusion of grandeur.

Ugonnax:
No...they were targeting Igbos. They just added small players Sahara and Folawiyo as a way to fool us. Had I seen names like Forte and MRS, then I know it's not tribally/ethnically instigated. Do you know Capital oil is the largest indepedent distributor of refined petroleum products in Nigeria and has the largest storage depot in Nigeria?

What Ugo?! Did you read the topic of this thread, heh?! Your vituperation and persecutory delusion has taken the better part of you that you don't even know that you're no longer on that thread.

And I'm dead sure that of MRS and Forte had been included along with your imaginary "capital oil", you'd had remixed the same wails as "they just included those two Hausas, but the Igbo business is the main target".

Oh c'mon, get some comprehension already!

basilo101:
Lol, u will not see the posts attacking igbos, will u change the rule again to have ur way the way u did on biafra issue, so that u can attack freeely while igbos are banned for defending themselves?? yeye
That omoelesa u quoted is not an igbo man, he was the first pesn to bring igbos into the issue with his sarcasm which most of u failed to grab including aperture11 that quoted him. U should apologize here for taking a yoruba sarcastic bashing on igbos as igbo mindset, u are the one without a working brain here, both u and the aperture11 guy u want to use as an example of peson with working brain are all brain dead for failing to see the first sarcastic attack on igbos and taking it literally

And you think that if Omoelesa had not said that, the real IPODs wouldn't have gone ahead to do what they do best in that thread, huh? Please save us all the excuse. Every sane Nigerians (Igbos inclusive, mind you) all know your mindset and the fact that y'all will always have one excuse or the other to play the victim.

StOla:
I hope those who thought it was Patrick Ubah's own Capital Oil and then concluded that it was a deliberate Northern attack against Ndigbo businesses, can now come out with shame to apologize?

Even when Folawiyo and Sahara owned by Tonye Cole were also included in the report, some just had to make the story about their irritating tribal victim complex.

See the clansmen below from the other thread. Ever ready to make any action by government an anti-igbo agenda.





One even tried to pretend that the other companies indicted (Sahara and Folawiyo) were non-entities.





Then somebody with a working brain had this to reply them.




Only God can heal the Igbo mindset.

I believe the piece by omoelesa

omoelesa: : Buhari is a tribalist, he probaly wants to kill capital oil own by an ibo man.This is victimazation and marginalization.

has the sarcasm to it. He only tried to mimic the next barrage of comments and boy, was he soooo right.

palladin:
Okay.

One igbo guy was shouting in the morning that capital oil was shut because the owner is igbo.

What does he have to say to this?

What d'you expect? They'd have shouted ethnic cleansing and massacre by a Fulani moslem and threatening dragging to ICC assuming the shiitttte moslems that attempted assassinating the COAS were IPODs (Irritant People of Beyafrah). Now that it was a moslem in power when the zaria conflict with the army occurred, dem "throway" face.

It better that theirs is limited to ethnic militancy and not included religious extremism in their dossier else they could have been decimated long ago for being religious terrorists.

koxi:
Really?
How will Dat solve the present economic hardship affecting all of us

Are you aware of the recent heist pulled by Sàràkí's DSS guards on a BDC operator that was laundering raw dollar cash supposedly meant to bribe CCT judges to subvert justice in favour of Sàràkí?

This is a means to further follow the trails of dollar withdrawals and movements by BDC operators who launder money for corrupt politicians.

I hope this is very simple enough for you to understand. But if you need it simpler and in plain English, I'm sure someone here would oblige you.

Reverend King must be released to the great new state that is soon to emerge An illustrious son must not die. We can't take that gimmick of reducing our numbers gradually. Kanu first and then King? We can't take this. Oya let the protests begin from the heart of Abuja itself.

kekakuz:
[size=20pt] I can't remember anything from my childhood
I don't know why
[/size]

Yeah. Cos you didn't have a memorable one. More like a devastating childhood, so the need to repress such memories in the subconscious. You may require a shrink later on for some therapy sessions.

Progress2468:
You are such an idiot

This is somebody who became senate President and after his tenure decided not to contest anymore until he was appointed by GEJ

How many of our Politicians can do that today?

I can bet u are not corruption free, for even calling for the life of somebody

So that he relinquished power without being forced to is now a heroic feat to you bah? What a wonderful outlook to life. Clap for yourself.

Teenaira:
Hospital staff singled out. WHY

It's been noted by the FG that serious fraud is being perpetrated by the federal hospitals and the C/MDs thru the submission of overbloated personnel budget the result of which a lot of illegal money has sunk into private pockets in the health ministry over the years. Now they are trying to harmonise and do some verification which may give a true picture of staff strength which will forestall such anomaly and save the government some money.

Sahara Reporters can just wake up and say what ever they like. Is this a quote or statement ? Tomorrow they will deny this. Dasuki said dis dasuki said that. I smell propaganda.

Listen to yourself. And to say you got 86 other uninformed and deliberate ignoramuses overcrowding that same straw boat with you.

By the time the social media law gets passed by those stoopid SINators, this married man should explore that loophole to file damages against her.

Old Maps Show Biafra Was Actually In Cameroon And Never Part Of Nigeria

While it is common to hear an argument postulated by adherents of a recent pro-Biafra agitation resurgence among young listeners of a pirate radio station operating out of the United Kingdom, Radio Biafra, that “Biafra” was the initial name of the territory to which the South of Nigeria belonged, our checks have failed to substantiate this claim.

The idea has been pushed by the Radio station run by a rather radical individual, Nwannekaenyi Kenny Okwu-Kanu, who goes by the alias, Nnamdi Kanu. The maps can be seen on the Princeton University website and enlarged to examine.

We have brought out the relative parts below.Apparently the name “Biafra” or “Biafara” was picked again because the former Premiere of Nigeria’s then Eastern region, Odumegwu Ojukwu had chosen the “Biafra” name for the territory he wished to preside over; however there is no evidence that Ojukwu selected that name because he believed it was the name of his ancestral home.

Rather it was the name of much of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and São Tomé and Príncipe and perhaps a nice name that tickled Ojukwu’s fancy. Or perhaps Ojukwu was suggesting an ancestral origin outside Nigeria in the Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon region.

OLD MAPS SHOW BIAFRA

In the image above, River Camarones can be noticed at the left border of “Biafra.” This river, now called Wouri river is in the middle of today’s Cameroon.

The Region Is Benin And Not Biafra

Calabar, Nigeria’s Eastern border is seen well within territory called Benin; Benin, a large demarcated kingdom that extends deep into today’s Cameroon, before the region known as Biafra starts.

Based on these findings, “Benin” would serve as a more accurate historical fact based sobriquet for the southern parts of Nigeria in discussion.

Another map from 1644 also puts “Biafara” solidly in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and São Tomé and Príncipe and far from Nigeria’s furthest Eastern border. Apparently the prior name of the territory now called Biafra by this group was recognized and mapped as “Benin,” and never Biafra in all historic maps.

Origins Of The Name “Biafra”

According to Encyclopaedia britannica: a dictionary of arts, sciences …, Volume 11-12, year 1910 , the name “Biafra” from “Bight of Biafra, comes from the word, “Mafra,” a town in Portugal.

Mafra, Portugal

The Portuguese named a country extending from Cameroon southward to Equatorial Guinea, “Biafra,” but the name was later dropped in the later part of the 19th century.

THE BIGHT OF BIAFRA, OR MAFRA (NAMED AFTER THE TOWN MAFRA IN SOUTHERN PORTUGAL), BETWEEN CAPES FORMOSA AND LOPEZ, IS THE MOST EASTERN PART OF THE GULF OF GUINEA; IT CONTAINS THE ISLANDS FERNANDO PO [EQUITORIAL GUINEA], PRINCE’S AND ST THOMAS’S [SÃO TOMÉ AND PRÍNCIPE]. THE NAME BIAFRA-AS INDICATING THE COUNTRY-FELL INTO DISUSE IN THE LATER PART OF THE 19TH CENTURY.

Real crap. What happens to using sleeping darts to take down animals? This is an endangered specie of animal. Now another millions of naira will have to be budgeted to replace this dead lion.

nduchucks:
una never serious. when I begin see names like Ihejirika, Oritsejafor, and de rest, I go know say una don start

Sad. But when names like GEJ, NOI and what's-his-name that kept bales of cash stashed in his personal suite in the government house were being mentioned, there were cries of witch-hunting and shouts of ethnic bias and cleansing rented the air. Now that names like Dasuki, Bafarawa and Dokpesi are duly tagged as corrupt, you have suddenly gone to the extreme again. I can easily predict what the comments will assume when names like Oritsejafor will inevitably eventually start to enter the equation. Once the case of the seized South Africa money is brought up, Oritsejafor will start passing his pants.

It's sure that Saraki and other corrupt SINators and legisLOOTERS are behind the passage of this bill. This is simply corruption fighting back and it is aimed at muzzling the media and whistle blowers, which brings me to the question of when the whistle blower's protection and WITSEC (witness protection) act is bona be passed by this useless bunch?

I think Nigerians have the duty to protest for a repeal of this law and threaten to recall whichever stupid rep is not ready to do the bidding of the people. But what am I saying anyways? We'd prefer biafra protest to a real emancipation protest as telling these useless lawmakers who the boss is. Little wonder they are unified in looting and corruption while they continue to laugh at Nigerians that kill themselves over secession.

Lol. Clown.

Damn you Ecobank! NGN2,115.87 for USD9.27 today, translating to NGN228 to the dollar. Thank goodness i didn't go for the huge purchase. Bollocks! This is up from your nice NGN218 to the dollar. Shoulda stuck with using GTB 220.

kingsleyuk2003:
use http://track-chinapost.com/track_chinapost.php

I have been using this address to successfully track most items. But I suppose it gives information only for transits till it gets to Nigeria customs and not beyond.

What I need is something to track the goods once it is cleared by customs and handed over to NIPOST for onward delivery, "all within Nigeria" transit.

While I think I need this is cos transits of some items may get truncated at the point of customs in which case I will know there isn't much I may be able to do to solve customs wàhálà. But the moment I know it is with NIPOST, I like to be able to follow it.

kingsleyuk2003:
very Safe. That is the safest, because paypal protects you from scams. You money can be returned to you. Infact, i don't buy from sellers that don't allow paypal. at least for the first deal.

But how about using Alipay the same way it is on Aliexpress? Are your funds not protected by Escrow if you use Alipay option on Alibaba? This is cos I don't have a PayPal account to conduct PayPal payments.

barnabas91:
thanks dear, i got all my goods yday, some arrived on the 11th and nt a cal frm dem.
Mehn they demanded like 1500 just 2 collect wht i paid for already, and i knw d money is going to d woman incharge purse.
Corruption everywhere

I had initially felt bad and pained that I was being charged for monies with no receipt issued. Wanted to challenge 'em but then went ahead for an alternative. The man qt the desk told me that I could have a Post Office Box allocated at a dirt cheap rate of N900/per annum. Moat of my parcels will then be forwarded to the box once they arrive.

The downside: I may likely no longer enjoy the timely phone calls and notifications of an arrived parcel.

Bookiemart01:
I have personally tracked and helped others tracked items successfully on nipost website several times.

I wouldn't know why yours is this way.

So what url have you been using for the successful tracking on NIPOST website? Please oblige me the details.
