Thugnificent: Hello nairalanders, pls am nt a good story teller but i'll try in d best of my capacity to explain wats been happening for upto 3 weeks nw. There is this babe dat lives close to my house(a students hostel) dat am crazy in luv wit ryt nw and cnt say for sure if she feels the same way about me. Ok hw do i start, well it started one sunday morning wen she came 2 my house and playfully asked me 4 food(she's kinda lousy tho) i tld her she cud serve herself and she did. Ever since dat day we've been playin wit each oda cuz i visit her house and she visits mine quite frequently. To cut a lng story short, d play bcame intense 2d extent she cnt stay for 20 minutes without checking up on me(this chick am talkin bout is a real hottie). So one day i playfully decided 2 squeeze dem tits which she let me, and also she 'playfully' squeezed my dick and gasped at its hugeness. One day i was forced to french kiss and touch her at d ryt places(which am sure no guy has done b4) i havnt bleeped her yet cuz she is still in her period(she even asked me to Bleep her regardless of d fact she is in her period). So pls my fellow nairalanders, cud it be dat dis chick has been playin wit my head or she really luvs me(cuz shez outta twn nw and has bin bombardin me wit soo many calls and txt messages). Her lst txt was that she cnt wait to feel my dick inside of her. Pls am confused ryt nw

of course you should be confused, oloshi!

Euroclydon: [size=14pt]I have discovered from my experience that effective communication can help you determine if she actually wants to be friends or not BEFORE you decide to talk to her about taking it to the next level...Let your body language do the talking, then discuss open topics that evolve round the matter and study her responses, we will save ourselves alot of stress if we can pay attention to little details instead of allowing our hormones do all the thinking for us. Most gals have more than one 'backup' besides who they are dating and they will be verryy nice to you with the hope that if their present man messes up, they have up to three people to choose from. So be careful....U might be special backup number 7 without ur knowledge [/size]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, i just fell off my chari! special backup number 7, neighbourhood 6 am sure.

member_126910: Hi guys, I need fresh eyes to look at this situation, as it is bugging me constantly.

I've been engaged to this guy for about 20 months, and we got engaged after 2-3 months of dating. Even though I was a virgin at 25 when we met, I have had previous boyfriends. He grilled me several times in the beginning, wanting to know what specifically I had "done" in the past with them, even going as far as to asking if I was gay.

We live apart, and he has always been obsessed with the idea of me "cheating". When we started, if he phoned me and I was unavailable for any reason, it meant that I was being suspicious even though I called him back asap. It doesn't help also that he is very cunning. On one occasion, I invited him to church with me, he pretended he wasn't coming, dropped me off at the station, and immediately followed me on the train back to church to see if I indeed was going where I said I was. When confronted, he said it was because I gave him a reason to believe that I was cheating by not always answering my phone immediately - he thought I was meeting up with friends after service. (Even if I do, I still don't see why this should be a problem!). One public holiday, I had lots of work to do at home so I told him I was going to work when I wasn't (I didn't want to be disturbed). He called my work, and as I wasn't there, he concluded I was cheating. He confronted me about it, and I admitted that I lied about going to work, but only because I needed to get some work done at home. He was terribly upset about this, even shouting at me down the phone. It was only later that I realised that he got so emotional because he had assumed that I was cheating, not because he was betrayed by me lying about where I was. He admits that he has had several partners before me, and also that he had never been 100% faithful to any one of them. Yet, I do not try to grill him in the same way. I do not assume that he is cheating when anything happens, if he doesn't answer his phone immediately. The funny thing about this is that the day he told me that he had never been faithful to anyone before (even in a 5 year relationship that he was in - he said the lady cheated, so he cheated for revenge), he immediately followed up saying that things might get bloody if I ever cheated on him. His first reaction if anything happens between us is "Who have you told?". He says that he doesn't want us bringing 'outsiders' into our marriage issues, which is a valid approach, but I am beginning to doubt the intention behind this.

Recently, I found out that he has (without my knowledge), not just hacked into my Twitter account but also set up his phone to receive an alert whenever anyone mentions me or sends me a message on Twitter. This is not just a hack which lets you log into my Twitter. This is an alert like a text message. This means that wherever he is, whatever he is doing, he wants to know what who contacts me on Twitter. He does have a Twitter account but isn't interested in anything I have to say and so he isn't following me. Rather he is interested in the private messages I get, and what messages people send me. By the way, I have absolutely nothing whatsoever to hide there. I do have male "followers", but these are people who I learn from. I'm quite interested in business and technology and I think it's a great learning resource for other people's experiences. So I don't mind that he can see all my conversations. What I mind about is that 2 months to our wedding, this man is convinced enough that I might be flirting with other men, that he is still trying to catch me out through various methods. This worries me, because why would anyone go through wedding planning and preparations with someone they don't trust? I'm not a flirt, I don't have many friends yet I'm being treated like a criminal. I almost regret saving up myself all these years only to end up being monitored and investigated for infidelity for no just cause. This breaks my heart because I don't treat him the same way, and I don't know what I have done to deserve this kind of treatment.

The ironic thing is that early this year, I met a guy on the plane, who can be desribed as a ladies man. This man stared at me for the entire duration of the 6-hour flight, at the end of which he stopped me to chat me up. I initially thought he recognised me from somewhere, but when it seemed he just wanted to chat a girl up, I told him I was married and walked away. I narrated this to my fiance, and by pure coincidence 3 months later, it turned out the same guy in question was dating my fiance's cousin, and had narrated the incident to her as well, confirming my story in public! If anyone ever needed reassurance, then I would have thought that would be it - but my fiance says that his problem is that I shouldn't even have had a conversation with a stranger in the first place! So basically he's not convinced that I wouldn't sleep with any odd guy that catches my fancy if he had the right qualities. When you love someone, have given them yourself in a way that you'll never give anyone, and want to spend the rest of your life with them, this is very hard to hear. I understand that he has been cheated on before, and it was difficult for him, being a very very caring guy, but it still doesn't justify punishing me for other peoples sins.

What do you make of this, guys? Are his fears justified? Is this how Nigerian relationships usually are, or is my case a special case? I'm really really pissed off about this Twitter issue, especially as there is no need for it.

How old is this boy you are talking about? All this talk about cheat has to change. We need a new orientation. Sex is different from love so most cheating is about just sex and not love. Let's reduce the pain by not been too hard-lined about sex. As unusual as this might sound, its the only way to handle sex that won't lead to heartbreak

Burger01: Are you a Nigerian? OK, are you an African?

Yes am nigerian, so what? You surprised there is someone that dosent care about heirs to carry his name? Heirs to 'remind' others of him when he is gone? Heirs to inherit all his wealth if at all he had any? Heirs to take care of him in old age since there won't be any other humanbeing around that will help? Blah blah blah blah. Am sure you most likely a graduate, have u ever travelled out of this hole to experience other perspectives? If its african to have a child by all means then africa is indeed the dark continent

kiss_angel: I don’t support the statement about "the way woman mess themselves these days" can a woman mess herself up without a man? It takes two to tango, and on the average, besides, some men are too carried away with attractiveness, that they forget to look for ladies with morals. What about the way men mess themselves up these days and end up with low sperm count because of one infection or another. Some of these men know and would keep it secret. Some would utterly refuse to go for a test.

Anyways, I blame any girl that will agree to such a condition because if you have a sense of self worth, you won’t attach marriage proposals on "certain" derogatory conditions {a child is a beautiful gift, when it is used as a perquisite for marriage, it degenerates it to a mere means to an end and not an end in its self}. It takes more than a child to have a happy home. In fact run away from such men because they obviously are going to give you more ridiculous egoistic demands after you get married. If you are hell bent of compromising out of desperation, remember that if you give your glasses today, tomorrow, he might just be asking for your eyes! How much can u bear to compromise to keep up appearances?

Marriage should happen because you like the person enough to want to spend your lives together, better reasons like compatibility, companionship, character, attitudes and capacity to grow together and work as a team. The capacity to have children should be seen as an added gift to the equation, because like it or not, a lot of people would have to deal with the issue of infertility, even those that were married as virgins!
Think about it, what if the child is born with special needs, would the “man” still love and accept the child when he has shown you his rigid nature beforehand.

What ignorant arrogance!

You are too much, all nigerian women and men should listen to what you just said. Great words my dear. People are unaware that there are men who don't see children as priority at all, like myself. If am blessed with a child good, if am not then I even have the opportunity to now do my very best for the many many fatherless and suffering children in every corner of the earth. I keep saying that nigerians now get more education and less civilization. So childlessness is the end of life? What a retarded thinking. So if u had no child u wouldn't know what else to do with your life? I think very soon the line will be drawn btw actually civilised people and those going around with certificates and fine clothes

freecocoa: My sister you owe the man absolutely nothing but if you can afford it then fine, although I'll advice against the salary thingy, if I were the one, I'd rather give him money when I feel like or want to, he is not in the position to demand nada from thee.

Best advise, besides he is an ingrate if he demanded anything, infacct he shouldn't even plead for it

nagoma: I am sure israel is behind the BH situation in Nigeria. They will never rest until they incite a religious war to destroy the country and it's potentials.

Evening koranic school lecture abi? How isreal and US are taking over the world, attacking other countries for oil, blah blah blah, nonse.nse! So isreal should allow sudan to make bombs for iran who said isreal would be wiped out? So isreal is only allowed to destroy that factory after iran has finished isreal abi? Go and get a religion that will free you because islam is not a religion. Has it not occurred to you that despite that your prophet is full of lies he didn't even remember to claim that he performed any miracle? Mohammed could not perform any miracle, he never could heal anybody or raise the dead. He only could kill and rape and pillage. And that is the legacy he has handed over to 1.5 billion fo.ols called muslims

PLEASE ANY CHRISTIAN AROUND MALALI REAdING THIS, get the attackers body if it hasn't been carried by police, if it has then STAGE A PROtesT AND DEMAND FOR it, THEN BURY HIM WITH A PIG AFTER SPILLING THE BLOOD OF THE PIG ON HIS USELESS CORPSE. PLS PASS ON UNTIL IT REACHES MALALI. With a pig in his grave he will go straight to hell and lose all the 70 worthless virgins. This is the method used b mossad to send muslims to hell

nagoma: You are jumping the gun. Most intending suicide bombers caught in Bauchi were Christians. This may yet be another follower of the 3 in one Gods.

There was no christian bomber caught in bauchi you islamic liar! Since your prophet is a hateful liar then we shud expect less from you. For your information the biased security operatives in b auchi have been noted. Most of them are muslims so understandably full of lies. Gov Jang exposed it some days ago that you people after capturing any boko haram use to free them on the pretext that they have been sent to abuja. The 4 ibo boys accused of carrying bombs by that fake muslim police dpo in toro LG of bauchi has been proven to be a lie because the boys had nothing to do with any bomb. Muslims are unrepentant liars and will intentionally turn any fact around to serve their interest. Whether you like it or not, jonathan must continue to rule until he is tired, no muslim will rule this country again, wait and see

Truckpusher: What if we are being set up by some dark organizations or nations which aims to start a civil war in Nigeria to enable them gain full control over our resources while we kill ourselves thereby weakening forever one of Africa's potential power house in the nearest future?

What if some fifth columnist are trying to disorganize Nigeria to usher in another form of governance that might be totally alien to us and at the same time devastating to our way of life and the economy?

What if some Nigerians are tired of our current system of government and all the thieves that keeps recycling themselves in and out of power with no changes in mind and they decided to make changes even it means using the wrong approach to achieve their tall dreams?

What if Boko Haram is being sponsored indirectly by the christian south to destabilize the north thereby paving the way for fiscal federalism or balkanization of Nigeria which the northern oligarchs and elites fears most?...because to the ordinary northerner he's willing to stay on his own and he'll survive.

What if Boko Haram is being sponsored by disgruntled northern oligarchs and elites whose ideas and command no longer holds the ordinary northerner and Nigerian politics spell bound like before?...hence they are trying to stage a comeback.....With all these questions in our mind we should not fail to see that Nigeria is the only country we have no matter how bad that it may be.When i go through some comments with bigots trying to make it a religious thing, then i begin to see the dangerous trend which will soon spiral out of control and put us where the people behind this dastardly act want us to be.

Whatever they are cooking we may never know,but it is our duty to ensure that with our utterances ,we shouldn't start something that will start a civil war as a country because if we do that i can assure you that we'll fight ourselves to the death and these same people will always supply us with arms to kill ourselves while our resources will be used in paying for it ,and when we are done fighting ourselves we would rebuild our country but not on our own terms and conditions,then the hope for a powerful black nation would never be realized and it will be a shame to the entire black race .

Truckpusher the earlier part of ur speech made some sense then u ended it in ignorance expected of a truckpusher. So even as ignorant as you are you still assume it is political abi?

PLEASE ANY CHRISTIAN AROUND MALALI REAdING THIS, STAGE A PROtesT AND DEMAND FOR THE ATTACKERS BODY THEN BURY HIM WITH A PIG AFTER SPILLING THE BLOOD OF THE PIG ON HIS USELESS CORPSE. PLS PASS ON UNTIL IT REACHES MALALI. With a pig in his grave he will go straight to hell and lose all the 70 worthless virgins

Wsdm: How do you feel if the Christ you worship as your 'Lord' is insulted because of the various atrocities some Christian do? I just look at some of you as been too naive to comprehend what everyone omongst Muslims are feeling with this acts of barbarism.

You see been a lying muslim like your fathers makes it difficult for you to see the truth, and finally even when you see it, islam still makes it difficult for you to acknowledge it. Now if you say what has happened is like some christians went to do something and someone is insulting your Jesus becuase of that, then that confirms you as a complete mo.ron which is what an average muslim is. A christian attacking people on his own is different from if a christian is attacking people in the name of christ which has never happened. Muslims attack people in the name of mohammed and in his defense, so that is the difference. Very soon the whole world is going to face islam squarely. Yaradua was the last muslim that ruled nigeria I swear, wait and see

Charles.nerd:
Is that guy on the topmost floor in the the third pix actually taking pictures or what? .So much for eye witness report,I pray no harm comes his way.

The fire service actually looks like they are really prepared for emergencies.The crane alone is enough evidence.

I think the guy is from nairaland

am sure your type eventually ends up in the toilet if you are not already there

atbu1983: for a lady, i may agree with u. For a guy like i am, i bliv it shd be a conscious effort because it is a serious business/contract/partnership. A guy need to know what he want in his wife to be and where he is most likely to find her.

I don't think search for a life partner should be as serious as u make it sound. I think there is a downside to this perception that u must hookup by all means and that the man has the burden to make it happen. That's why nowadays u see the ladies having a laid-back attitude towards guys because they believe you should be the one toasting even if they don't do anything to encourage you on. And foolishly most men are happy to be on the toasting side for months and weeks since ladies are just that 'special' creature meant for them by destiny! What a crap! While I would not want a lady to toast guys, I believe she has a burden to indicate interest by some subtle means otherwise as for me nothing is gonna happen. If a lady sees what she wants she has to encourage the person, that's my philosophy. Infact I believe any guy that keeps toasting even where he isn't encouraged is daft naturally and not a good choice.
Lastly one of the first problems that arises from most marriages occurs when the 'toasting' man who pleaded throughout to make the marriage happen now turns around after the wedding to assert some authority or contrary opinion. This normally shocks then seriously offends the lady who has been spoilt by the 'toasting' guy. Its like re-negotiating and it has caused problems in many marriages. So my point is girls should start knowing that soon their comfort zone of sitting comfortably to be toasted will soon end o! And it has started.

Turbocharged: During the service of Prof. Barth Nnaji as the minister for power, comments from around Nigeria proofed that there was significant improve in power supply in various areas.

Since his resignation, has PHCN being able to maintain the service delivery in your area.

In my area, Satellite Town, Lagos, we hardly see light these days.

on airport road, Abuja, aso estate, amac estate, cowrie, nut, trademore estates, no light for many days at a time. a N3000 recharge i did on my meter since april is what am still using and its just halfway. Infact in August, September and October, average light per week is 3 hrs.

thelastPope: Some people like the @op are delusional! They think they are making sense but they don't understand how dumb they sound! Human race is plagued with challenges and questions. It doesn't matter whether they are religious or not.

The stupid1ty of the @op's assertion is that life is perfect in places without religion! Greece is in shambles! Most europian countries are hanging by a thread! America is just a step or 2 away from economic pit. Kingdoms rise and fall. Ironically, most of these kingdoms like America where founded by very religious folks. So your pustulation is baldadash! Nigeria's problem is not religion but a lack of education. I do not necessarily mean a lack of school. Most Nigerians in Europe and America still attend Winners, Redeemed, Christ Embassy, Chosen and many other Nigerian churches over there. So the assumption that it is only in Nigeria people do that is false. Please always do a proper study before you post and make a fool of yourself

You are the one that has obviously made a successful fo.ol of himself, answering such a long analysis the OP posted in a few arrogant but miserable sentences shows how surprisingly dumb you are, and you even speak good english?

No muslim is permitted to comment here otherwise christians are going to start burning mosques! So please our pastors are prophets too

FreeGlobe:
I dont know how NL keeps producing these clowns. Have they started building modern houses in yorobberland? Last time I checked Yoruba people still occupy houses of the colonial era, again except lagos.

You just proved that there can be something worse than a clown. So its only Lagos with modern buildings in the west? Someone said most Ibo nairalannders are shop clerks at alaba and I think I agree now. Please try close shop its saturday night already, before your oga flogs your superior n.yash

frederal: The Abuja you mentioned, did u also observe †̥hα̲̅†̥ most of the hotels and clubs are owned by Ibos. Truth is just bitter.

Did I say you don't own them? But they are crap! Infact most estates in abuja are owned by Ibos but what is their quality like? Let's go to your east where I lived and worked before, the same kind of buildings! Small rooms, low cement quality, rough finishing but fine painting and tile. Go to the west and see how houses are built.

This is the plain truth;
1) There is nothing exceptional or special about Ibos except for their false sense of superiority which has no basis in anything. That is why its normal in Ibo culture to dream anything no matter how inordinate, hence the reason for the vices in Ibo society or wherever they are
2) Been a graduate I have schooled for at least 19 years across different schools in the country along with many ethnic groups, I have not seen any proof of Ibo intellectual or academic superiority as claimed by achebe. In all other ethnic groups have exelled where many many Ibos have failed before. So what are you talking about?
3) Now even in callings like workmanship, Ibos are among the worst technicians in this country. Ibo mechanics are only smart in cheating their customer, they hardly fix a car sufficiently. In Abuja the worst houses are built by Ibos. All the crappy houses and estates in Abuja like Trademore estate, AMAC/Aco estate, Efab estate, etc plus the numerous shopping plazas built by Ibos are totally useless buildings that are just modern slums. You can almost point out a house built by Ibos and the one by Yoruba or others. All they know is use tile, flashy paint and POP to embellish their obviously poor job and surprisingly they expect others to be deceived
4) Ibos are also short-sighted which is one of the main reason for the suffering of the Ibos (and us identified as their brother) today, go to europe, US, asia, the Ibos have made a mess of our name due to their shortsightedness. An Ibo due to his inate dumbness does not know it is shallow to cheat or steal where others like you (or even you possibly) are soon to come in the future. It is a lack of basic intelligence to steal or cheat where others like you will go to. Recently Indonesian govt say there are 500 nigerians on death row there and 480 are from anambra state! So is that intelligence?
5) Ibos due to their immaturity are also quick to drawing conclusions. Get an Ibo trainee to learn a trade under you for say 2 yrs, by the 2nd month the chap is already having the conclusion that he can do better than you and is ready to start making money now so he has to be on his own! The word on the street can confirm the level of havoc these chaps have wreaked on this country.

I think all in all, the Ibos think there is something about themselves and that they deserve better, please get this into your skulls that there is nothing, absolutely nothing special about Ibos. The only thing is that you are eagar to display that you are smart which in itself is the first sign of dumbness. Also you have lack the real sense of dignity which normally gives you the opportunity to cheat others first, which you however still pay back. You can see how Ibo 'smartness' has dealt with your chance of becoming president in nigeria? That is to tell you that displaying smartness too early is actually the first sign of cluelessness

Truckpusher: Capital punishment is another form of revenge ....I CALL IT INSTITUTIONALIZED REVENGE ...it's shameful because this generation is civilized and should know that an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.

Crap crap. Crap and pure crap

Pennywise: This is a typical black girl mentality. Black girls want to dress like white girls, straighten their hair or wear hair extension, speak like them but they can never bring themselves to think like the white girl who is innocent and can attach no meaning to something that is as innocous as a request for direction.

The black girl with her low self esteem will sit there waiting for the guy to approach her so she can say no even b4 hearing what he has to say. The white girl will volunteer to help a brother in need even if she is not approached.

In all societies the stup.I.dity of the men after a while begin to show on the women. Because our men are daft, have low self esteem and generally don't have any worthy pursuits, they tend to idolize the women and that's where the women got the clue from. An average nijaa girl now feels that any nija man will toast at least 4 many months or weeks so that means they can afford to say no for a long time until the man is helpless begging or spending on them. Whenever I travel out for conferences am always amazed at how reciprocating women can be in other parts of the world, I was in one country recently for a conference and we were to snap a group picture, before I knew it 1 very cute white lady from SA had put her arms around my neck. I was surprised at the speed but I quickly reciprocated. After there we were friends afterwards. I knew if she was a nija babe it wud have been a different story. So guy don't blame nija ladies oh! The men have no regard for themselves and they overrate the women so that's it. As for me no girl can make a single shakara for me. Infact if I toast a girl and she says no in serious way that is the last time I will mention that subject again, even if she comes back to say she has changed her mind. I have done this to many girls and they now know their are some different kind of men out there

queensmith: i think they are both the same- people just tend to want what they dont have

Good one

dasparrow: Which love? Do Nigerians know what genuine love is? Most Nigerians get married not for love but just to secure societal status and approval. Others marry for financial security. Most married women in Nigeria look like crap because Naija men and their families waste no time in beating the crap outta them at the slightest provocation.

With the staggering divorce rate in Nigeria, marriage is becoming a risk and when the man dies before the woman, you will be stigmatized as a widow and accused of killing him. However, if you marry a westerner, then you will be better of because they know how to pamper and love their women unlike most African men.

Lastly, what makes you happy does not make the next person happy. Not everybody wants to give up their personal space and have you all up in their face all in the name of being in love. You can love from a distance too and still remain happy. Happiness is relative after all.

I think you are too much, your maturity on this matter is complete. Please fellow nigerians learn that there are people who prefer their quiet than having one person in your face round the clock. I for one will not have a friend I have to call and text every day because we are in luv, that's trash as far as am concerned. Am close to 40 and can marry on my 3 month salary but yet I love the single free life. I sleep well, hate no one and have my peace. I reaized long ago many nigerians don't have any intellectual engagements except those forced on them by career so the empty life is a void that can only be filled by a love subject. Please go and get a life, you were not born to get married or to have children as our womenfolk have been made to believe nowadays. Go and watch discovery channel and see what people have done with the life you are committing to ONLY fall in 'love' or get married!. Marraige is way way way over rated in our ignorant society. Do you know how many people are dying of trauma in marriage? This crap idea is sponsored by these ignorant pastors nowadays who did not pass waec in their time. If you feel empty without noise around you please go and get married to fill your empty life. If you feel alright been alone pls don't allow any ignoram.us tell u otherwise. There is nothing in marriage, all my friends that married today are in one extramarital affairs or the other. Abeg drop subject

Area_boy: A clever ancient book that has way outlived its relevance, giving support to good and evil while forgetting to include a disclaimer

hahahahahahaha

mama-gee:
The boy had a laptop since he was a child

One of the reasons I believe they were innocent.

May their souls rest in peace!!!

Tha is not enough proof, am getting tired of childish talk all over this site. lets wait for the report on the matter

tomakint: For how long are you little children going to get acquainted for once with the facts about the first military putsch of January 15th, 1966! The tagging of the January 15 Putsch of 1966 an ‘Igbo Coup’ was a craftily designed conspiracy by the British government ‘smart guys’ to whip up sentiments against the Igbo officers in order to make sure power and control of the Nigerian government return at all cost to the Northern officers in the Nigerian Army. After all, not many realise that several officers of Northern origin took part in Nigeria’s first military coup. What many fail to understand here is that many northern officers assisted Nzeogwu when he stormed the residence of the Northern Region’s Premier, Ahmadu Bello. Little wonder, Nzeogwu later described the detachment of troops accompanying him to Bello’s house as ‘a truly Nigerian gathering’ (New Nigerian – 18th January 1966). He went further when he said they (the troops) ‘had the chance to drop out. More than that, they had bullets. They had been issued with bullets but I was unarmed. If they disagreed they could have shot me....most of the other Ranks were Northerners but they followed.’ It was revealed that one of the Northern soldiers that helped Nzeogwu was John Atom Kpera. Kpera later became the first military governor of Anambra State and later military governor of Benue State. Likewise, many of the soldiers that accompanied Major Ifeajuna when he abducted the Prime Minister, Tafawa Balewa were also Northerners. Despite all these exposures, many still ignorantly held on to the belief that it was ‘an Igbo Coup’. Ironsi, the Supreme Commander, was part of those marked down for arrest or elimination (whichever one comes first), but was tipped off by the Army’s Adjutant-General, Lt. Col James Pam through an early morning telephone call. Ironsi was just a child of destiny to have escaped death on that fateful day. He even came across some of the mutineers while on the move to quell it. Perhaps his position as the General Office Commander (G.O.C) may likely be the definitive factor that made him escaped unhurt when he ran into one of the junior officers ‘road blocks’ and still pass through. Reports have it that, Ironsi openly wept after he confirmed the death of his northern military colleagues in the Putsch!

But you havent answered anything? who has said Nzeogwu was tribalised? nobody am sure, anybody that knows a little history can tell you the quality of person Nzeogwu was and there are few Nigerians today including northerners who do not respect his aspiration for a unified Nigeria. However, Nzeogwu was undone by his Ibo brothers who allowed okpara to escape -a fact you have sidestepped in your socalled 'matured' analysis. Nzeogwu set out to rid Nigeria of rising ethnicity after some unpleasant and well dcoumented incidents, so that was the reason why he felt all the regional leaders had to go in order to now truly unify the new country. But unknown to him the ibo officers who were supposed to eliminate okpara now failed to do so. So it did not take much calculation before other tribes began to see the whole thing as an Ibo idea afterall. Nzeogwu was dissapointed as the fine gentleman that he was and he knew he had been let down. Now at this point rather for the ibos to stay quiet they now started showing people all over the north caricatures of Sardauna in hell - I bet you to point to one person that denies this never happened!. It didnt take more than 2 weeks after the circulation of this before Ibos started getting killed in the north. My father personally saved many Ibos so please this is not about any st.upid beaf pls. My problem with ibos anyday is lack of objectivity, as if its part of your culture

What is wrong if the deaf people in govt build very organised low-cost non-permanent kind of structures where the sam govt can collect fees ranging from like say N7,000 per month to any amount they want? Someone did that in federal secretariat when the parking area was leased to a private firm. I dont know why the dullest nigerians are the ones in positions of power. so the minister of FCDA expects everybody including low-cadre staff to go and eat at mr biggs or the big restaurants where food is N800 - N2,000? Bala is a nice man personally from his history but why is he behaving like Aliero (Bush man from Kebbi)? Go to france, Italy etc and you see traders selling fruits by the road in well arranged kiosks established and maintained by govt? and all these people travel there? what is wrong with us na? when are we going to stop been illiterates and adopt modernity? These is how they have allowed mechanics to rot in Abuja from day 1. At a point the FCTA builts shops for mechanics and started selling at N12million per stall! If anybody has 12 million will he still be a mechanic? Dull dull dull people everywhere and they all have degrees and doctorates!

Mad Cow: [b]To add to your questions.....

1. 5 boys go to collect a loan by 5 am in the morning from one person.. 'Hmmmm'..

2. Who is this person that they went to collect the loan from?! Name, department, e.t.c..

3. Reports say they were 5 in number.. Same report says they went to collect loan, same report says the 5th person escaped, All their parents say they werent cultists... YET!! The 5th person has fled the scene.. Not to safety, but into obscurity.. What is chasing this 5th person away.. Why hasnt he presented himself to the police to clear up the msiconception about their activities in Aluu community that morning.. WHY IS HE STILL IN HIDING!!!?

4. Why did it take so long to kill them.. Its popular believe that they were caught between 5am and 7am in the morning hours, and they werent killed till mid day.. What events transpired between the time of apprehension and final execution.. Did the boys tell their side of the story?! If so, what convinced the vigilante to find them guilty and still execute them..

5. Everybody seems to have agreed with the story of 'they went to recover a loan from a notorious cultist student'.. Now, be that as it may, why is the name of the debtor student so elusive?! Infact, shouldnt that be the easiest thing to find out?! Afterall, popular gist also has it that he is a NOTORIOUS cultist anyways.. Also it would be at this students house that would have been apprehended, and the debtor student would have been the accuser at the jungle justice court.. WHAT IS THE SAID DEBTORS NAME, IS HE A STUDENT OF UNIPORT?! IF SO, WHATS HIS DEPARTMENT?!

6. Why did it take so long for the police to respond.. Im sure there is a police station in the area, a Patrol Van in the area and yet they didnt show up until after the kilings.. So does this mean that nobody in the crowd reported the matter for over 4 hours that the savagery lasted?!

7. Some say they were caught in an empty building with a laptop and blackberry's, smoking weed.. Now marry that with 7am in the morning and it leaves a big question in the minds of people..

8. Where are the laptops and phones that they were caught with and the other weapons as well?!

Despite your name, you made a very sane and reasonable point. Me I know those bboys are not totally innocent but the killing was not also good, however nobody has heard what the villagers been going through these times that led to this level of anger. Am thinking what frustration and possibly even trauma could. Have led people to this. But we live in a sentimental society so people will only respond with emotion. Lastly I hear people call laptop commonn, please it is not, I know an architect that lost almost all his life work when his aptop was stolen, he practically started all over again. I have a programmer friend and I know stealing his laptop might kill him. So please let's put emotions aside and wait for the details if they ever copme out

ozo-dimgba:
Good morning northern christians, this man making noise in this post that they are not in alliance with the northern muslim is a pure northerner and a muslim to the core. Reasons are:

1. This man and his so called association of whatsoever they are parading themselves are cowards, they did cannot confront the northern muslim leaders, when they were obviously ruling and marginalizing them {the northern christians} and other regions in general. It is just two yrs into GEJ's administration and the only true christian president that they now know they are been marginalized and therefore need the 2015 slots. No wonder this administration is the most cricized in the world. GEJ, sorry sir, u are not the cause of the problems we have in Nigeria, you only inherited them.

2. Your big brother, who is the biggest fool i have ever seen is, 'The One And The Only' Yakubu James Gowon. He has been given this slot u are agitating for and one of the achievements he recorded for Nigeria is ceeding out the oil rich Bakassi to Cameroun. While your counterpart in the west, who is also stooge like you, to the northern muslim rulers sealed the ceeding of bakassi in 2002. Who said u dont have anything in common with the northern muslims? Incase u dont know, you drink the same cow milk {fura de nunu} with them and you share the same political ambition. What was on you people's mind, when you were been used as stooges to kill the southerners and the easterners by your political masters {the northern muslim leaders}? Infact, the young cub that the northern christians and their western counterpart trained, is fully matured into lion. But then, remember, you use to feed the young cub with the blood and flesh of the easteners and southerners. But now it is a lion and must continue to be fed with blood and flesh of whose i guess u know? Incase u dont know, ask your big fool brother, Yakubu Gowon, what is happening in his state today. And other northern states like: Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Adamawa, Borno, Kogi and others. This is just the beginning of nemesis of innocent people you wanted to bring into extintion. Just because you need political power, by the time you are done, your western counterpart and everyone that knows you before will not recognize you. If you cant solve this problem learn to live with it, because what you are agitating for now was what Ojukwu agitated for and it then snowballed into the civil war. A cooking pot for the lizard is also a cooking pot for the chameleon. What is good for the goose should also be good for the gander. You are like the domestic fowl that was happy when the bush fowl was prepared for food, forgetting that even u the domestic will one day be eaten as food.

4. Finally you are over ambitous politically, look Nigerians dying in the street in hundreds and you are talking about the 2015 slot, which is still 3yrs ahead. It was igbos time to die then and now it is yours. You cant do anything about it not even federal goverment or God can help you. He is God of justice. Do you know what we call what is happening in the north today? It is called NEMESIS or otherwise REPERCUSSION.

5. Ojukwu was a hero, because he is a man with vision and he foresaw what these northern muslims can do. Just to monopolize Nigeria as theirs and thiers alone. But you and your western counterpart have blurred vision. Ojukwu was blackballed and labelled a rebel by your political master. Remember another man's freedom fighter is another man's rebel. Now you are agitating. The same punishment meted on Ojukwu and his people should also be meted upon you for this agitation and opinion.

You probably have a little point but let me take u back to a small fact all ibos characteristically love to forget easily - the ibo hatred all started when the mostly-ibo coup plotters of 1966 killed sardauna as head of northern region, akintola in the west, tafawa balewa and then assisted okpara to escape! That singular act showed everybody that the ibos take all other nigerians as fools. This same attitude has not left ibos to this day, you can askk any other tribe except yourselves. Did your father tell you that even for many weeks after sardauna was killed the north was calm? Our family was in kaduna then and am not hausa pls, but I tell u authoritatively that just a few weeks after sardauna's killing ibo traders had already made calendars with caricature of sardauna burning in hell and the ibo traders thrust this in the face of anyone they find saying 'see your god roasting in hell'. This among other contributory factors lead to the widespread outrage against ibos, but I tell you few ibos living today will admit that given their nature. My brother married an ibo lady and uptill today she has not relented from proving how smart she thinks she is - this is the problem of ibos. So my guy go and sit down and hear your history properly and change what you can. Always remember that nothing hurts people like after cheating them, you now call their attention to how foolish they were in the first place! That kind of hatred takes very long to die. And lastly even in any situation if you discover many people hate you, sit back and stop ranting, look inward and you might find a shocking revelation
