I said it they won't listen

dinachi:
I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like barcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.
Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

Front page pls
Cc lalasticlala, Ishilove etc.

If Biafra is been actualized pls defect to other country and stop whining here

Ihuomadinihu:
No point debating this. This ones migrated from Benin,so they are speaking for themselves. Majority of Ukwuani people i know,identify as Igbo and are proud of their igbo heritage. Let the few identity crises individuals speak for themselves,not Ukwuani.
This thread should have been longer snice April 21,but it is not. That shows you they are only minority efulefus,the rest of Ukwuani community does not share their crises mentality.

My dear what you said is what I said ...there are people that came from Benin as slaves and felons their fathers came to ukwuani that's OK ...I have never argue with them

Many ukwuani are even in ohaneze that's the pure bloods and I have noticed that it's the nobody that make noise about this

So the best is to ignore them


How come these benin felons speak igbo still baffles me

When we look at the western world for those that have not been there we shudder at their wickedness irrespective of their advancement

Just watching BBC where they are killing native or aborigine girls ..this is about 1200 is missing ...now this is a sociological case yet the white won't investigate

Now what about the dude that drove to a bible study shot blacks there and claiming he wants a race war

This is liberty

Ever wondered what happened to blacks in Argentina

They might come back home and be speaking I wanna gonnna to impress you but it ain't easy for them ...especially racism so do not envy em

darfay:
Don't mind dah guy hiz nothing buh a big time bigot,image he even had the nerves to call an ethnic group TINY the same one his supposed wife hails from.whether he likes it or not ukwale is a language of It's own as recognised by the natives,constitution of Delta state and that of the federal republic of nigeria

They are tiny ...they are not an ethnic group ewu ..they are clans

Get it

I know that we are in for hell...no minister no direction I know APC is moving in no direction

I weep

cheruv:
Mtschewww
Even ogoni can't claim oyigbo but you're here making claims on net bkos your people deluded by 98 oil wells and a city built by okpara can bkos you can pass as Igbo
When the time comes,we'd not only collect oyigbo but would collect all the other igboids in RS excluding the iwherōha..that way you'd enjoy a state with the ogoni and ijaw very well
Its so shameful that ndiwherōha are so paranoid of the Igbo that they'd want the opobo(igwenga) to stop speaking their lingo
Am preparing for the day armies would move out from the SE to incorporate the Igbos of the SS..just hope those 4 wretched LGs of yours aren't laid waste by overzealous soldiers

But we have reasonable ikwerre also but they seems to be few

Yeske2:
Forget the Ikwerres, i'd rather have the Efiks and Ibibios to the treacherous Ikwerres.
Don't bring the Ikwerres into anything Igbo again.

Lol that hopeathand can be funny some times so ignore him and his type

On the Internet; several websites; there are gory pictures of decapitated bodies; videos of decomposing torsos – all testimonies of the failure of the political elites and the national leadership to address a seeming collapse of state security and the guaranty of liberty and life. The world sees Nigeria from the gory images of Jos and concludes that Nigeria is in transition to its disintegration.



Jos has become symbolic of the crass opportunism; absence of vision and insufficiency of willpower among the political class to lead the country as one united federation. Most importantly, it is revealing of the evil of corruption on the state; the distortion of values by a leadership steeped in larceny; and the erasure of the required capacity to lead a-right.

The thousands that have been brutally murdered in the yearly Jos mayhem are all from the class denied access to national power and national wealth. All victims of the injustice of decades of mismanagement of the national wealth by a few powerful elites; if you carefully read the online reports and the videos on Jos, you will see the tragedy that has become this country; our country, called Nigeria and why the New Media must be a rallying tool for Nigerians to come together to erase the evil –a lecherous political class- that have happened upon us in the 50 years we have existed as one country under a body of leeches.



It is that evil Mrs. Hilary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, attacked in Abuja during her visit to the country several months back. I share this piece again with you in the belief that those who hold this country hostage can be removed only by a common understanding of what constitutes our common foe. That common foe that rendered Odi desolate; made millions of youths that could have been IT experts militants in the Niger Delta creeks; or those other millions, the almajiris, who must begged to live in the north and even those millions in Lagos, jobless graduates waking up every day to a life of prostitution and drugs. It is that common foe Mrs. Clinton attacked in Abuja those eerie days that have remained part of us. Read!

what is actually wrong with you..where us your morals? did you grow up in orphanage ...just asking pls

Wish others what you wish yourself ops.

As this report was being drafted, Zamfara State officially announced that it has over one million children out of school. The pronouncement was made by the Director, Junior Secondary Schools of the Zamfara State Universal Basic Education Board, Alhaji Sani Mailafiya, Zamfara State. With that record, Zamfara leads other states as having the highest number of such children. In numerous other states of Nigeria’s 36, the statistics are not less frightening. In fact, a survey report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) released in the Q2 2013, ranked Nigeria top of 12 countries where a large population of school children are not in the classrooms. According to the UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EAGMR) report, one out of every five Nigerian children is out of school. In all, approximately 10.5 million young Nigerians have never seen the classrooms.



The statistics get more frightening with the poor or complete absence of basic computer access or knowledge to these young Nigerians that would form the generation of its leaders in the not so distant future. An agreeable estimate among many experts is that well over 80% of young Nigerians of between the age of 6 and 16 have no access and have never touched a computer. For this huge population of young people, a digital divide stares at them that would effectively cut them off from any semblance of relevance in the already evolved Knowledge or Digital Age.



When experts use the term Digital Divide

PC market declines by 9.6% within the MEA – IDC Q1 2015 Report

PC MarketUnstable naira is cutting down on PC import but market is still not showing positive signs for local PC assembly companies such as Omatek, Zinox and Brian Systems.



In its new report, the International Data Corporation (IDC) has revealed that PC importation to Nigeria and other markets within the Middle East and Africa (MEA) is shrinking potentially cutting down vendors’ earning and growth projections.



The IDC report for Q1 of 2015 blamed falling value of the local currencies.

In the last 10 months, the Nigerian naira has lost nearly 40% of its value against major currencies such as the US dollar and the British pound. This has forced consumers to look inward and has impacted negatively on the PC import market for major international vendors such as HP and Lenovo.

damn alter boy...this is taking Catholicism to a new height

For Zainab Ismail, Islamic law student, the project means she no longer needs to visit the university book library. “[I find] anything I search for,” says Ismail. “It is fast and works even without a connection. It helps me a lot before and after classes”



Students are not the only ones to use the service, which is viewed as especially cost-effective at a time when funding for education has been cut. “Lecturers use it to update themselves, to conduct research, writing journals and their projects,” says Ibrahim Barkindo, a teacher at Ahmadu Bello University.

“Sometimes we read on screen; sometimes we save some of the pages and print them for later use.”

Other academics are proving slow to adopt the new technology, preferring the traditional library for their research. “There are some categories of scholars that are really not too comfortable or not technology-savvy,” Abdullahi Musa Ibrahim, university librarian, says.

ONE THING I KNOW OUR GOD CANT BE MOCKED...

PEOPLE WILL ATTEND NOT BECAUSE OF GOD BUT TO SEE MAMA G...HOW MANY SUPERSTARS DID JESUS USE...WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PASTORS?

APC leader Senator Bola Tinubu yesterday June 10th reacted to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as the new Senate President, saying he cannot recognize the Kangaroo arrangement that produced Saraki as the new Senate President. Speaking at the party secretariat, Tinubu said



"I will never recognize such a kangaroo arrangement that produced Bukola as the Senate President. Or how do you want me to recognise a man who deliberately defied his own party because of his personal interest? It is not done anywhere. Therefore, recognizing Bukola as the Senate President after all he had done to our party today, having gone against the wish and pattern of our great party, honestly will amount to endorsing impunity, and which you should all know I will not.

For me to recognize Senator Bukola as the Senate President, he must show remorse for today’s action. He had earlier promised to defy the party and the deed has been done. You don’t do that in politics. Personal interest must not override that of the party that beget you. It’s a spoken and silent rule of the game, which all and sundry must abide with. I’m not God, but as far as this party is concerned, I’m a leader and I know what is good for the party at the appropriate time. Speaking now is not for the party, but for myself. I cannot recognize Bukola as the Senate President.” he said

lawanson44:
BREAKING NEWS!

OXFORD LEARNER'S DICTIONARY HAS ADDED A NEW WORD TO THE DICTIONARY.

NEW WORD... "TINUBU"

Tinubu (tee-nu-bu) Noun: Someone who believes that he would achieve a sinister goal and looks forward to the benefit(s) of such goals when attained but suddenly meets a deadlock after the goal is attained without enjoying the expected benefits.

Example: The tinubued armed robbers successfully broke into the company's safe and carted away cash only to realize that the money were fake currencies!

Funke became tinuburized when she discovered the man she snatched from her friend because of his presumed wealth was an ordinary driver.


Adjective:To be a Tinubu...the state of not enjoying what you expected from a good fortune.

Example: "My First Class Honors Degree Certificate is null and void because NUC has declared my Alma-Mata an illegal university. Oh! i am a Tinubu!!"

I DSUPPORT IT...LAGOS DRIVERS ARE JUST MAD..IF YOU DRIVE IN LAGOS U WILL UNDERSATND

For those who will commit cybercrimes or vandalise telecom infrastructures, here’s what the law says, depending on the gravity of the offence: Seven years imprisonment for offenders of all kinds of computer related fraud, including but not limited to: email bombing, computer trespass, computer contamination, computer related forgery, cyber-squatting, online pornography, cyber-terrorism, and cyber-stalking.



It is 15 years to life imprisonment for tampering with any critical national information infrastructure or causing grievous bodily harm or death to any person in cause of vandalising the information infrastructure




After a long wait, the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act has become part of our legal system. Signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan just before leaving office on May 29, 2015, the law opens a new chapter on Nigeria’s cyber-presence as it now provides the legal framework to address security breaches or online offences as they relate to the entire spectrum of ICT.

Why Owners Of Jumia Sold Off Their Firm

Inside the long horizontal office dormitory built beside their 90,000-square foot-warehouse, the largest campus in West Africa, where young men with an average age of 23 attend to thousands of online shoppers at the speed of light, Afeador, noted: “Jumia was an exciting one and a-half-year journey for us. We are extremely proud of Jumia and wish all the best to the company and all the people here.”

If Afeador’s message was not clear enough, his partner, Kehinde put the message succinctly. “As we move on to start our own businesses, we owe a lot to every member of the team, together we made history, together we have built Nigeria’s first and biggest online retail brand; a fate we never would have achieved without you.”

The meeting ended an era in Jumia, which has won several local and international awards for pioneering Nigeria’s first e-commerce website.

Kehinde is venturing into logistic business while Afaedor’s next move remains unknown for now. “We have left Jumia going to a month now and we no longer own a stake in the company. Afeador and I have also parted ways but a time will come when I will talk about my new business, a logistics management company. For now, everyone will do his businesses separately,” he said.

Now that the new investors have taken over, announcing Nicolas Martin and Jérémy Doutté of AIH as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Jumia a few months ago, marketing communication experts, who spoke with The Nation, assumed that many factors could be responsible for the sale of the Nigerian e-commerce brand by its co-founders

http://www.theparadigmng.com/?p=14182


Reliable sources revealed that Rocket Internet, owners of Jumia.com decided to purchase over twelve domain names registered under a company called Rocket Internet, the intention which is to hijack the influx of online shoppers from Konga.com over to theirs.

The obnoxious act according to findings has affected Konga in over eleven countries including Nigeria where its major consumers are. This illegal online squatting embarked upon by Jumia has a look-alike online address like konga and as soon as the link is clicked, it directs the shopper to Jumia’s official site.
