Kamanda: comment cela affecte le prix du gari sur le marché?

je ne sais pas. Mais je voudrais savoir comment cela affecte la situation économique du ma vie.

Malawian: the N328m is not for the construction proper but for the engineering design. After an architect has drafted a plan, a structural engineer will still analyse and design the structure to withstand everything like wind load, dead and imposed load, amongst others. I am a structural engineer, and one of the ways to save money is by calling for bids and even charging for such bids. That is where the FG got it wrong. Rather than spend money to design, they could have made money by just looking at other bidder's designs and charging them to do so. Usually, the best and cost effective designs wins the construction job, and that is how the bidders make their own money. It also prevents them from overcharging for the project.

i'm a struct engr too i studied under the great Onyeyili in unizik. May i correct you that architects don't design bridges anywhere, it's us. They want to get in the game by all means but they don't know jack about bridges. They should make do with their box buildings.

August 3 1966: “there is no basis for Nigerian unity, which has been so badly rocked, not only once but several times.” –Lt Col Yakubu Gowon

Having said the facts and publicly stated the truth of the matter, Gowon proceeded to act contrary to this living reality of Nigeria. He would drag the peoples to a war which took millions of lives and wrecked his Nigeria forever. Not content and obviously no wiser, Gowon would claim victory and continue to preach one Nigeria today, even as the war he started still rages on in all spheres of human existence, which for the peoples living in Nigeria, is a truly terrifying, misery-filled, bloody and charred Hell of an existence. And Nigeria and Gowon are still so eager to continue to blame the victims for that war: if he defeated the victims as he and Nigeria roundly claim, then, why is Nigeria still in flames today, forty-some years later, with the same pre-war issues fuelling the fire? Simple: it is the attempt to keep Nigeria one—in defiance of the truth—which is causing all the ills of Nigeria. “One Nigeria” is the problem with Nigeria; until it is defeated, Nigeria will know no peace and no salvation; the war goes on, in one deadlier form or another. There is no basis for one-Nigeria.

Gowon tells us that he was inspired on “one Nigeria” because his people turned G-O-W-O-N into “Go On With One Nigeria.” Like all superstitious fools and those who rationalize an evil act, he could not see how the omission of just a few characters from an expression could falsely proclaim Heaven when in fact it is Hell. How about “Go On WithOut Nigeria”?—“Go On WITHOUT One Nigeria”? Does that not specifically and truthfully fit the picture of Gowon’s most important epiphany, that there is no basis for unity in Nigeria?

BEFORE ABURI: the conveniently forgotten “National Conference”

By January 1967, political and social conditions in Nigeria were continuing to deteriorate rapidly, the only certainty being the Northern-led and dominated Nigerian Military and their full and total control of Nigeria. The ABURI meeting that month of the regional military leaders of Nigeria graciously hosted by General Ankara in Ghana and its decisions brought a rare but genuine beam of hope for Nigeria. But, it was Gowon who destroyed this Hope by reneging on the agreements, all but dismissing them as a frivolous exercise wherein he and other Northern leaders merely humored Ojukwu by “giving Ojukwu everything he [Ojukwu] asked for.” If it is assumed, as often ignorantly bandied around, that ABURI was solely Ojukwu’s imprint, how about “the Lagos Peace Conference” four months before ABURI?

On September 5 1966, well before Aburi, in response to ongoing and deepening social and political upheaval and continuing bloody ethnic cleansing exercise directed against Easterners residing in Northern Nigeria (mostly; but also, generally in the rest of Nigeria), Gowon’s Nigerian Military Government “initiated” a “National Conference” with Lagos as the venue. Each of the four Regions (East, West, Mid-West and North) would send three high-ranking representatives “to decide Nigeria’s political future.” A national Referendum would come out of such a meeting assuming there was agreement. So it was that on September 11 1966, a month after Gowon’s earlier quoted statement, 26 prominent Nigerians met to decide on whether there was any basis for Nigeria’s unity.

Skipping the reported hourly-daily deliberations and maneuvering as a topic for another day, here’s the tone of the reports for the outcome of the conference, as of September 17 1966: “Conference leans towards confederation” and Nigeria heads for a breakup into four virtually autonomous states bound only by a loose confederation.

So, in fact, Nigeria’s first National Conference compelled by the indolent lethal crisis had recommended complete Regional Autonomy. It was a verdict of “no basis for Nigeria’s unity.” This was in September 1966. This recommendation thus had preceded by 4 months ABURI which essentially prescribed the same solution. Parenthetically, this conference then also predates the variously named contemporary configurations and permutations of a putative Sovereign National Conference by 40 years or so. It, along with ABURI, should serve as an education and lesson for those today who think to fix beforehand the outcome of such a conference by assuming as a given the preservation of one-Nigeria: there is really no basis for unity of Nigeria.

But, as with Aburi, this (Lagos National Conference outcome) was not to be. Enter Gowon. The headline of the New York Times newspaper of Saturday, September 17, 1966 screams: “Gowon Opposes Confederation and Derails Conference”. Further read: “Under pressure from Gowon and his top aides, the civilians who make up the Northern delegation were reported to have backed away from confederation…Above all, the Northern militants in the army are said to be determined to thwart any move to split the army into four regional forces. These officers want a single army under tight national control.” (Recall that it is the same Northern officers who are by now still rampaging and still fishing out any remaining Igbo Military officers for instant execution!)

DIVISION RUNS DEEP: How the British saw it, what they knew and did

It is such a pity that the different peoples forced together as Nigeria refuse to acknowledge the depth of their differences, and want so much to pretend that such differences are not there, are not important, or can be ignored. All over the world, different peoples are living side by side; but nowhere are they forced to live together against their will in a forced union that reveals every single day that it does not work. Forced, troubled and troublesome sociopolitical arrangements of sovereign import just do not happen anymore. Except under Slavery and or Colonialism. Or Nigeria.

Steeped in such a pretense and denial, some Nigerians like to borrow from successful nations by talking wistfully of Nigeria’s “Our founding fathers”. The fact is that those ”our founding fathers” being referred to never wanted one-Nigeria and had made consistently strong positional pronouncements on the matter as such. Is anyone listening? For that matter, facts, yes, evident facts reveal that Nigeria’s so called “our founding fathers” are no more than colonial British, with contemporary Britain acting like a successor.

An Irish author published this in his 1961 book about the colonial British impressions and attitudes towards the peoples whom they would force into their impossible and macabre social experiment to be called Nigeria / one-Nigeria:

“The majority of the Fulani and Hausa of the North dislike the Southerners fundamentally. Historically the Northerners have always despised them, enslaved them and treated them cruelly, and above all regard them as inferiors. This was true particularly of the Ibos whom they considered savages. The memory of all this still lingers and is making the British policy of creating one Nigeria nation out of the three main Regions difficult enough. But the average British administrator in the North also feels much the same and cannot speak too critically of the Ibos and the Yorubas.”
Robert Collis (1900-1975) in “AFRICAN ENCOUNTER: A DOCTOR IN NIGERIA”, pp. 120-121. (Publisher: Scribner; First Edition (1961))

Quoted from the book, “Biafra War Revisited”, chapter 2 “THE BRITISH LEGACIES” p.12 by Egbebelu Ugobelu Second Edition (revised) 1994; Published by Obiesili Publishing Co, Spartanburg, SC 29306

This sums up the real situation and picture of Nigeria, right from the beginning, as it was seen and known by the British. Incidentally, it is only recently that the “Middle-Belt Northerners” have begun to realize that they, too, are in fact “Southerners”, in the eyes of the Hausa-Fulani. The entire picture indicts the British for their policy to force-create one-Nigeria from disparate peoples between whom one-national unity was, not just another “difficult enough” task but, downright impossible. And the British knew it then. They still know it now.

What, according to the same author (and taken from the same source), did the colonial British (and do the British) think of the North? Well, here…

“Here proud emirs, lordly princes, rule over vast areas, and the poor are very poor, and quite illiterate. But both still are part of a tradition which stretches back into history. It was, and is a way of life, a civilization utterly alien to ours, so different, in fact, that it has always been possible for Western gentlemen to live on easy terns with these Northern peoples, each respecting the others high qualities of honour and good manners. In this relationship there is no vulgar familiarity, no crossing the bar into the other's private life, but a mutual respect and honour.”

Robert Collis. AFRICAN ENCOUNTER P.195 (Publisher: Scribner; First Edition (1961))

Today, most Northern elite are mounting a strong public relation effort (and seem to be winning another [pyrrhic] victory at it) to misdirect the peoples of Nigeria and the stakeholders to think that the problem of Boko Haram is due to poverty, which poverty they would like the world to believe is somehow related to Southerners withholding what is due the North (if any sane person can even imagine that and how that might be possible, given who have aggressively controlled Nigeria thus far). But here above is the social and political landscape of Northern Nigeria as it appeared even before Nigeria became Nigeria; it is a landscape recorded by the British, a party which is friendly and sympathetic to the North, by the way; even though belonging to a civilization “utterly alien”, thus inadvertently justifying the branding of the British civilization as Boko Haram by the Boko Haram group.

What these Northern elite should stop pretending about is the fact that the North and the South are vastly and unbridgeably different, and it is not just a matter of who is poorer, where poverty as we know it is defined almost in purely Western Civilization terms and by Western Civilization standards, which Western Civilization is embraced by the South, and is so fundamentally alien to the North that Boko Haram would label it what it really is to them: anathema—a veritable sin, to be forbidden in the North! There is in fact no compelling reason why Western Civilization should not offend the North: the worldviews and life-views are so dramatically and drastically different; more so when it is forced upon the North through the forced vehicle of a forced union of aliens and incompatibles called Nigeria. There has never been, and should never be a basis for the unity of Nigeria: that’s what Boko Haram seeks to remind everyone of, including and especially pretenders who are busily doing their pretend-spin dance. For that matter, the Northern elite should draw no comfort in the British crediting the Northern system with “high qualities of honour and good manners”; it is hardly a compliment by Western Civilization standards to a system which generates and embraces this level of poverty described by the same British, and which the same Northern elite now use as rationalization for the despicable destructive reactionary acts of Boko Haram today. The Northern system was already that way before Nigeria was created.

How did the British with their cultural antithesis to the North remain friendly and sympathetic to the same North? Well, the British left the North to the North’s own ways: they, the British, would not attempt to change the North, nor would they for one moment accept the North’s ways. It is a matter of their respecting the ways and traditions of the North, without entertaining any thoughts of ever adopting the ways of the North themselves: stay in your own space and we stay in ours, while we do ugly business (of Nigeria / Southern domination) on terms; no basis for uniting, assimilating or mixing as it were, and no reason to; but respect for the other’s ways and stance. That’s how the British did it. Yet, the same British would force on a structure called Nigeria wherein such different sociocultural and political entities are not retained in their own respective different spaces and there is no respect as such, let alone, “mutual”. Thus, with malicious deliberation and intent, the British created Nigeria—“this relationship” in which there is now to be allowed “…vulgar familiarity,” and “…crossing the bar into the other's private life,” with neither “…mutual respect” nor “…honour”, to borrow the British’s own terms in the negative, as quoted above.

Such irony that in Britain today, Scotland, one of four nations making up UK, nations which already have substantial autonomy (called “Devolution” over there), is getting ready for a Referendum for complete Independence. Even if the British do not want or like that, the Scots have a right to it, and no one will contest such right or the exercise of such a right. Whether the referendum passes or not is not the issue; even if it does not pass, it is predicted that the Scots will try again within 5 to 10 years, and yet this is not the issue. The point—the issue—is that British peoples, even with so much more in common among them, including a shared heritage, worldview and values, can still exercise the right to separation and political independence; but the same British somehow do not see how the smothered peoples, different in every way, forced together into Nigeria—by the same British—can exercise the same right. What does that say about African peoples vis-à-vis their colonial masters? It is clear that, to borrow a British saying, “what is good for the goose should be good for the gander” does not and cannot apply when the British are dealing with Africans. What a colossal shame!

For the woes and calamities befalling Nigeria, a failed and genocidal State smothering the peoples, there is little time to ascribe villainy to any group, although it is obvious that Gowon and the colonial British and its successor policy-augmenters vie for that noxious prize. These parties know the fact and the Truth, but they push in the opposite direction, rooting for Darkness. What needs to be done is for the peoples to accept the rather obvious about Nigeria: there is in fact no basis for unity—never was, not now, and never will be. Having accepted that, with civility, the peoples need each to retrieve their own respective sovereignties and rescue each their humanity. Then, they may live side by side in mutual respect for one another’s ways, and one another’s space. Where and when they choose in mutuality, consent and respect to cooperate, let them agree and by such abide. Otherwise, and in all cases, let them remain each her own sovereign nation.

May 30 1967, Tuesday: Biafra is declared

Nigeria went to war in 1967 thinking and pretending that its fight was against Biafra and against secession. Nigeria defeated Biafra in the battlefield and celebrates victory, but remains and acts brain-damaged since then not because of wounds inflicted on it by Biafra, but because of ongoing battering by the real enemy—one-Nigeria. There is no basis for unity of Nigeria: that’s the truth and that’s the known fact; acting otherwise is to knock oneself out, which is precisely what Nigeria has done to itself. Biafra was right. Biafra is right. Biafra will always be right: peoples who are starkly different and especially who cannot get along should and will go their own different ways; no force can keep them together forever. It is a natural survival and existential imperative. Self Determination, the new reality of our times, in fact takes this a step further: you don’t even have to not get along; it is the inalienable and unconditional right of every ethnic group to take full control and charge of its own national destiny, period. That’s what Scottish people of Britain are demonstrating today. The peoples of Nigeria should copy and follow. Biafra has.

May 30: Biafra Day, Self Determination Day, everyday

No one solves a problem by trying to kill the solution to the problem. Nigeria, in waging war against Biafra, merely makes war against the solution to the problem called Nigeria. At the end of such a warring day where efforts have been directed against the wrong target, the problem remains, and stays on for the remainder of days. At the same time, the solution also lives on, undefeated (there is no way to defeat the solution of an extant problem!), waiting for the day of the inevitable, the day of its acceptance, signifying finally the end of the problem. Then, the peoples can be liberated, free at last.

All rosicrusicans are persons of goodwill regardless of appearance. I joined the order just this yearand i know this is the single most important decision i've ever made. It's life changing. You'll find out.

Guys my worst fear is telling my girlfriend about my affiliation AMORC. She's a pure church girl, but then i see it in her eyes each time she wonders what kinda person i am. Being a rosicrusian changed my life and it's still changing it. I have balance clarity and perspective. I have health and vitality. I love all men as brothers regardless of race or creed. Within the amorc everything is @ my disposal. Spiritual material emotional or intellectual resources. I just fear for my girlfriend, i pray she sees the light. I need advice on how to tell her.

Good luck

that means this God is not in nigeria and our country was never started by God. What happened to the siemens and halliburton case that the previous govt killed? Or the petroleum bill? Or power probe? Need i name more abandoned projects? My point is this govt stood out to do what even obj will not dare. It exposed the extent of corruption in abuja. from pension to fuel. This people don kill us. now we know our enemies. small small all sectors will be touched even NYSC. All that's needed for evil to survive is for good men to do nothing. Gej de try open up, una still de curse am for money wey dem chop since 2009.

daz_york: Some posters on here are either foreign agent provocateurs or just plain stupid. How on earth is the destablisation and disintegration of your country supposed to end up being a good thing?? Are you mentally retarded or just high on dope?! When America succeeds in trashing Nigeria into tiny feudal bits for the sake of Niger Deltan petroleum, do you honestly think that your life will be any better for it, or even the same as it is now?? Why are people so stupid that they actually [/b]desire[b] the downfall of their country just because a few people are mismanaging its resources? You think the people in Iraq, Libya and Cote d'Ivoire are enjoying their lives now that foreign intervention has successfully ruined their countries?
Have you ever thought about the inherent foolishness in cutting off your nose to spite your face? So you want this CIA-funded terrorist outfit to destroy Nigeria, and then what?? Will you then have electricity? Running water? Good government? A just legal system? Fair distribution of resources?
Let me tell you what will happen if Nigeria [/b]does[b] break up into weaker pieces. First of all, you will see foreign troops at your doorstep, playing with the lives of you and your children the way they do in Iraq and Afghanistan. You will look at one oyinbo soldier the wrong way and he will lace you with M6 rifle bullets. Then the news will call you an "insurgent" or a "rebel". Your children will go outside to play and they will be killed and maimed by grenades and landmines. Your mothers and sisters will be raped and the invaders will make you watch before killing you. And no international news outlet will cover it. [/b]IF YOU THINK YOUR LIFE AS A NIGERIAN IS NOT WORTH MUCH NOW, JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL THE YANKS HAVE THEIR WAY WITH OUR COUNTRY. JUST YOU WAIT.[b]

The politicians and kleptocrats who you hate so much will not suffer the consequences of a broken Nigeria the way you will. Trust me, I know this because I grew up in that circle. My dad, while not himself one of them, makes his living from their high-end property transactions and believe me, these guys have the sort of money which would make Sir Alan Sugar look like an average businessman. Do you really think that if/when the CIA succeeds in cracking Nigeria into unstable blocs like in Libya, these guys will suffer any hardship? Hell no, they all have at least 3 different passports and enough money to bribe God.
It is YOU who will suffer the indignity of being a stateless citizen if you are abroad, or an inhabitant of an occupied territory under US martial law like in Iraq. You think Nigeria has a bad image now, and foreigners look down on your Green passport, but believe me when your passport is held in the same rank with a Somalian or Iraqi passport then you will look back on these days as good times.

[/b]Instead of always being aggressively negative with relation to all things Nigerian, some of us need to realise that Nigeria is all we have - we're just foreigners and n.iggers elsewhere - and put forward solutions and recommendations to make things better within the current constraints. They say be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Go ask any Libyan today who wanted rid of Gadaffi whether he/she likes the current situation as compared to 2010. A word is enough for the wise.[b]

this is the hard truth men. So difficult to swallow. Even though i'd love to have my biafra. But i think in the light of the current global situation i choose to remain Nigerian. Afterall human resources outweigh natural resources, ask china india & brazil. Nigeria as it is is a future threat to these western imperialists. So they fund terrorists to crash the country under the guise of religion and ethnic strife. They want to secure the oil by all means. It's a resource race guys and they see us as pawns. They're running out of ideas and this is a last ditch tactic. I say we resist. NIGERIA MUST REMAIN.

Imo is the most disadvantaged place to write exams. The competition for space is too high. The society demands too much from you. Starting with an education. The behaviour of the people is the reason for this trend. I wouldn't want you to willingly write a national exam in imo. Go to the north it's easier there.

Guys i graduated from unizik in 06 and i'm from imo. May i enlighten you a bit. Every october the dean of students affairs publishes the academic time table for that year. Eg as we speak every student there knows when the exams will start and stop. Nobody even the vc can postpone exams without approval. Because of this the calendar runs non stop. Holidays and breaks are clearly defined ab initio. No fuel subsidy, Assu strike. And other negative nigerian factors can interfere. That system runs regardless. Concerning the teaching quality you may not agree with me but you will agree with me that for such an organised system teaching quality has nothing to do but improve. I'm not bragging we don't brag but the figures speak for themselves. We are a new generation sch but we maintain a consistent 100% NUC rating in the past 10 years. That should tell you something. On a personal note from my matric day to my graduation i spent only 4yrs 8 months to secure a bachelors degree in civil engineering. It was a marathon. Parents want their children in unizik because 5 yrs is 5 yrs.

oduasolja:

ojukwu was an oppportunisitic cold blooded tyrant . whose actions led to the death of millions of people.

I hope the good Lord has mercy on his soul.

yeah i agree. He was the one who declared war in the first place against biafra. He also used hunger to kill millions more. Before that he coordinated the killings in the north. Plotted a coup and counter coup. Oga pls hit the history class. You need education.

The greatest fear of the nigerian state till now is in the idea of biafra, a fear greater than any islamic insurgency. It baffles them that all their efforts to tar ojukwu and what he stood for failed. Why do you think even on this forum the igbo obsession remains? His death is even more terrible to them for the idea they want to kill the idea of biafra has been sold even beyond the igbos. Femi falana and others calling for the aburi accord speaks volumes. The same document their people rejected in 66. The nigerian misconception of a nation will slowly but surely collapse under the selfweight of it's gross internal inconsistencies. Year 2015 and the sun will rise again

deotelan:

Igbo's without any apologgy possess a Boastful messy but rather basterdised igocentric approach to life and that's why they suffer till date and have been sidelined in Nigeria politics, why would a Governor think his own state affairs is larger than the countries plight if not that he is suffering from abject deteriorative psychosis, and here are we, seeing all other able deterent foolish igbo follower giving their braindrainned Governor SinParty a thumbs up, SMFH, I rather than not enjoy igbo to continue to be trampled upon and treated as 3rd class citizens in Nigeria cuz of their ways and attitudes cuz if given too much opportunity and upper hand in Nigeria they would mess things up the more, Even within themselves they still exhibit their poor stinking attitude so I'm never suprised if SinParty or whatever can't behave maturely in the face of a sensitive National issue as what we face presently in Nigeria! Igbos u stink!

igbo haters let me remind you we were not the ones crying fowl after the house of reps elected their speaker. Bushmeat don catch hunter. No Yoruba worm is relevant in abuja. The real yoruba agenda for the protest is their marginalization in the national cake. And you're bitter say we no join you?as if you joined me in 67. Wake up this is 2012. Subsideen is not good for the igbo. Retardeen removed subsideen that killed muyideen. So hug transformer burn tires rape your women. Wallow in herd mentality and shamefull temerity. Your leaders go go collect bribes like they did with MKO. Fulani blow.jobers

dayokanu:

Why are we not surprised?

isnt that the same place where legenadary saboteurs like Arthur Nzeribe, Uche Chukwumerije and Daniel kanu came from?

you forgot to add. Bode george. Tafa balogun. Dimeji bankole. Adenike granje. Olubunmi etteh. Shi't on pants general diya. Obatraitor awolowo. Brothers keeler Ishola omisore. Slapping bishop oyedepo. Father of area boys & touts adedibu. And all their ancestors who lost kwara to the infidel fulani and became slaves in their own land. You wanna call names dayo the ethnic warlord. You have a list here. I hope you find it usefull. Yoruba two faced back.stabing fulani blow.jobers

I wish you a safer society without bombs bigotry extremism. May your children & childrens children grow up in a country they love and that loves them.

Igbo brothers and sisters hear this.

Boko Haram and the North are already doing enough destroying Nigeria, nothing unites the rest of the country than the voice of the Igbo man. Let us take the back seat and let the wickedness of these people be obvious to the rest of the world.

If anything all I will expect from South East Governors is to encourage Igbos in the North to come back home and start a new life. Thats about it.
We are doing just fine. They are already digging a hole for themselves. There is no need engaging a drowning man in a fight!!!

IF YOU DO NOT WORK IN THE SPIRIT YOU TALK AND DISCUSS CANALLY.

I DO NOT BELONG TO OYEDEPO'S CHURCH BUT I AM A CHILD OF GOD THAT DEALS WITH SPIRITUAL WARFARES.

DADDY OYEDEPO, WAS NOT DISCUSSING WITH THE GIRL, HE WAS TALKING WITH THE DEMON OPERATING IN THE LIFE OF THE GIRL AND HE SLAPPED THE DEMON FOR TALKING NONSENSE ABOUT JESUS.

YOU ARE ONLY SEEING THE GIRL PHYSICALLY BUT IT WAS SPIRITUALLY BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING.

THE GIRL ON HER OWN IS NOT IN FULL CONTROL OF WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. SHE WAS LIKE A MAN THAT WAS DRUNK.

MEN OF GOD WHO ARE INTO DELIVERANCE MINISTRATION CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND THIS.

is this a joke? That pastor brags to hell and back about how rich and blessed he is. There's nothing priestly about him. He's just a mass con man who made a faux pas. Slapping that girl cannot stand any moral spiritual or legal scrutiny. If you say he reacted out of annoyance then he's not fit to be a priest. Priests think & meditate before they act. Paul cast out a demon from a girl who in the name of christ saw the future. He didn't touch her, now that's a priest. Legally he is culpable you cannot fight for christ the battle will consume you. If you start slapping all blasphemers you'll run out of fingers before you run out me people. Morally the girl may be needing help after all jesus accepted the local town LovePeddler to a dinner @ simon's house and asked her to go and sin no more. And here we have our own oyedepo condeming her to hell that she's not fit to be delivered. How bestial. Wise man said "we are most like animals when we attack, most like man when we judge, and most like God when we forgive. Btw the pastor and the girl who'se the beast? You choose.

HOW CAN NIGERIA IMMORTALISE SOMEBODY THAT DOESNT SUPPORT IT EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE

make i answer the question. The north has always had it figured in politics. They know when to use and dump. In 66 awotreason got himself in trouble and landed in prison the war broke and he fought the man who freed him we all know the story. the treacherous man wanted to rule by all means and establish the yoruba hegemony with himself as the paterfamilia. already his people had swept the stock market and financial sector, the north will never allow that, better any other than a betrayer of his friend. He died an embittered and frustrated man. Who later commented that nigeria was a mere geographical entity- that was his cynicism speaking before drinking rat poison. Karma is a "beach" and he had a good swim.

Dim died laughing. @ nigeria of course. In gowon's state ethnic cleansing is the order of the day. The middle belt suffers from the marauding fulani. On oct 1 boko haram coughs and the presido hides inside the rock. The baba of treachery from ikenne died of frustration . What of boro and wiwa? both died like fowls by the same people they sided with against dim. Who laughed last, who laughed best? You choose.

nagoma:

Ojukwu was a fugitive war criminal and enemy of the state. He was wanted for many charges including treason and misleading of the Igbo people. He was given a state perdon and rehabilitated politically and even wanted to be the president of Nigeria.
No country except Nigeria could be that forgiving and reconciliatory. (Imagine Hitler going for the Presidency of European Union)!
He had been pampered too much already.

and you who fought on the other side against me, would you say that the nigeria you fought for was worth it? Call a spade a spade. A failed state is a failed state. You might want to lookup the def of a failed state and see if nigeria fits.

Bluetooth,

How does attack on ACN translate to tribal crisis? Are you brain-dead?

If the topic is too complex for your fish brain, why don't you return to igbo bashing threads, at least that's not too complicated for you.

thank you very much sir. The he-goat is well known by his smell.
To bluetooth.
Begone, you have no place among decent folks.

someone here is smoking dry pig shit.

Good morning nigeria. This is just the beginning of the show, this is morning.

That's not true. OBJ deliberately snubbed Muslims in his appointments which some Northern Nigerian Muslims saw as a fight against Islam. I really can't hold brief for them on this one, but they have the right to voice out their concern within democratic limits. If a Northern Muslim president were to appoint disproportionate number of Muslims from the South in his cabinet, would groups that defend Christian interests not speak out on that?

To be frank, there weren't so unhappy that he gave 'middle-belters'- which place is that?- choice positions than his calculated effort on what they saw at short-changing Muslims. In fact, OBJ purposely pursued some policies that were inimical to the North's economy.

our immediate past president was from the core north. So were ministers of petroleum and finance and the central bank gov and nnpc and chief of army staff, etc. Them just de vex say choppings no last the normal 8 years.
