Dont worry about how it helps the Yorubas. I think u'd do better to worry about how this further demonizes your people and shows them to be the heartless, greedy, selfish folks most people the world ova believe them to be.

Katsumoto:
How is the discussion of history supposed to help any group of people?

bk.babe97y:
Hahahahahahaha! Say "Hello" to your new masters! Hey, specifically, I want Biafrans bowing down to me as I walk the streets of Brooklyn. Fools! Tribal fights, meanwhile the white man has them in shackles again and they know it not! These are the  moro*ns we expect to lead the Black Race? Geez!

texazzpete:
Abeg make una leave matter. All these conspiracy theory loving scumbags that furiously condemn the Western world and exalt african despots like Mugabe and Ghadaffi.
I despise these people with a passion. You remain silent on the despoils in Congo, famine in Zimbabwe, genocide in Darfur and human rights abuses in Guinea, yet you fly into a paroxysm of rage and jump at any opportunity to denounce the west.

This is not in support of the West or anything like that, but if your underlying motive is rooted in love for Africa, then be consistent!

It is also amusing seeing people worry about a vague western re-colonization but fail to see anything weird in the increasing radicalization of Northern Nigeria. How many topics did @chyz open when Al Qaeda started mentioning Nigeria in his infrequent tirades?

Those of who are happy with this development are clueless. Those of you who say Nigeria will benefit because other countries that have ties with USA have benefited are simply ignorant. South Korea did not benefit from the usa because they have a base there but because they have good leaders.

This US Government does not give a damn about our country and this move might has probably ensured that our economy is under their control for a long time to come. It is unfortunate that we have clowns as leaders. Our leaders did not sit down and think about the long time consequence of this agreement.

Last year the USA made a similar offer to the South African Government citing the upcoming world cup as a reason for SA to allow them in but the South Africans cleverly declined the offer stating that they are more than capable to defend their turf.

I just hope that this agreement does not give them too much power because if it does we are in for a lot of trouble and it won’t be long before young Nigerians become terrorists.

Abrantie:
Look in the mirror. Y'all are the ones with serious megalomania. The idea that small Ghana seems to be doing most things right compared to Nigeria (and that ain't no hype), doesn't settle well with you. Btw, this thread, started by a Nigerian, reeks of How-Dare-rism -- (i.e "How dare Ghana imposes this regulations on us, the savior of Africa? This law is a travesty, an abomination! Lets strike them down with our gods Glo, Zenith Bank & Chicken Republic".

Whether it's 0.2% or 2% doesn't matter -- we're still talking about millions of social deviants and rogues. Y'all need to stop breeding like rabbits. Stop the incest, expecially rap3s of your own daughters and nieces.

I'm a tough man but shed a tear when I read this Confused Naija Girl's blog: (http://confusednaijagirl..com/)

@zains

Its absolute baldarish to assume facts and presume insinuations.  Nigeria isa typical failed state,period

desgiezd:
Why would they do a thing like that? What was there reason? Are they above the law?

Katsumoto:
Like all threads, it is meant to be debated. The OP stated that this has never been debated before; my post was merely to correct that point. With regards to the quality of his response, I can not comment on the quality or sensitivity of his response. I suggest you wait for his response.

Katsumoto:
I have had this debate with Dede1, OnlyTruth, and Eziachi in the past.

One instance below and can't be assed to find others.

That is not what the debate is about. The position you stated above is wrong for the following reasons:
1. NCNC and NPC had an agreement and formed a coalition.
2. Igbo officers killed non-Igbo members of government. If you want to argue that it was not an Igbo coup, should Igbo sons now work towards ensuring that the other party to the agreement remain side-lined?
3. The co-existence of all tribes in Nigeria was predicated on a fragile balance. Arguing that the President, Prime Minister, Senate President, and GOC of the Armed Forces should all be Igbo/Eastern does amount to domination of other tribes by the Igbo.
4. My argument was always that after the actions of the Igbo officers, the action of the NCNC to ignore the agreement with the NPC is what gave credence to the belief that it was an Igbo coup and this is what led to the counter-coup of July 1966. It would have been difficult to argue that it was an Igbo coup if Ironsi foiled the coup, tried and executed the plotters immediately, and Orizu had maintained the balance of power and existing agreement by handing over to Dipcharima. Think about it for a minute or two
5. This debate is not about who was best for the job. We have seen that they were all clowns (Zik, Awo, Sardauna) and their actions have led Nigeria down the wrong path.

I perfectly understood your plank of the argument which makes sense to anybody who is unpatriotic toward Nigeria and tend to kick unity and oneness to the curb.

I do not think that this debate would change your mindset as you repeatedly stated that your argument hinges of Igbo officers taking over power. The last time I checked though, Igbo was not a country and had no standing army. The overthrow of Balewa government was precipitated by Nigerian armed forces period.

NPC members knew that coalition government between two parties detected that the senior partner produces the Prime Minister and junior partner produces the Ranking Minister who is, all intents and practical purposes, de facto deputy Prime Minister. If not for the issue of deep mistrust and a country created out of colonial machination, the idea of NPC ministers caucusing to select Dipcharima as PM without the coalition partners was wrong and unacceptable.

It is even pathetic that the ministers knew who deputizes for PM in certain occasions. The Ranking Minister would have become the acting PM and when situation is under control would work with the President and ministers in council to appoint another PM from the north probably Dipcharima because he was an NCNC member before joining NPC. The action of NPC ministers pointed to the thought process that northern political elites have always arrogated to themselves that the act of ruling Nigeria is their birth right with wholesome support from few deluded southern political elites.

I have never argued about who was the best or more educated in terms of European or western education for the job of Prime Minister. If educational qualification was the yard stick, there was no northern politician that would have landed a position of minister without portfolio talk less substantives minister.

@Ileke-idi, You wanna tell me the biblical Jesus was not violent when he chased out traders (today's pastors) in the synagogue? Or ask his disciples to arm themselves with sword (Luke 22:35-38/49-51)?

Recently, I raised this issue, and myself and the thread created were adjudged bigoted. Today, it has been reported on this same site, though on another thread (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-439215.0.html ) that the underlisted, ALL OF THEM IGBOS, are either awaiting execution or serving life jail sentences in Indonesia. Are you guys now willing to repent and swallow your words?

SHENZHEN: A Nigerian man received the death penalty Tuesday in Dongguan, Guangdong province, after being convicted of drug trafficking. Experts say it is the first case in the southern manufacturing city in which a foreigner has received a death sentence for drug trafficking.

His sentence was handed down from the Guangdong Higher People's Court. The execution still needs the review and final approval of the Supreme People's Court.

Osonwa Okey Noberts, 37, was found trading nearly 6 kg drugs to Chinese drug dealers at his rented apartment in Baiyun district of Guangzhou from February to April 2008, according to the investigation.

"Osonwa Okey Noberts took the drugs from the suppliers and sold them to the lower-tier buyers in China. The amount of heroin reached 5,978.1 grams. He deserves the most severe punishment," said a press release by the Intermediate People's Court of Dongguan, where the final verdict was announced.

Zhang Dongxiang, the 27-year-old Chinese girlfriend of Noberts, received a death sentence with a two-year reprieve for assisting the illegal trade.

They lived together starting in July 2007 but when she discovered almost six months later that the Nigerian was trafficking drugs, she rented another room next to their apartment to facilitate the trading and provided necessary help.

Two other Chinese drug dealers, Wu Xianjun and Jiang Xuzhi, also received death sentences with two-year reprieves for drug trafficking and employing people for the illegal activities. Policemen found guns and bullets in their homes when they were arrested in April 2008.

The Guangdong Higher People's Court upheld the convictions of the first trial at the Dongguan Intermediate People's Court in June last year but reduced the sentences on four of the convicts after taking into consideration their appeals, the report said.

According to China's criminal law, trafficking of more than 50 grams of heroin can warrant the death penalty.

Official statistics showed that drug trafficking by foreigners is becoming rampant in Guangdong.

Four foreigners, along with five other suspects, have been in custody since they were caught in Shenzhen for allegedly smuggling 144.5 kg of heroin from Pakistan in September 2009.

The Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court heard eight drug-trafficking cases, involving nine Africans, were involved, in November 2008. Eight received a stay of execution, while the ninth person was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Whenever you hear this kind of news, before you hear the name of the perpetrator, one can always bet it's an Igbo name. Why is this very very predominant amongst the Igbos lads and lasses. Traditionally, I respect the Igbos for their industriousness and creativity, but what's happening these days?

Please, feel free to add other names to this list, indicating your source(s).

It funny that you said the Nigerians awaiting execution or serving life in indonesia are Igbo because there are indeed are 70-100 nigerians recorded to definitely be in jail in that country. So most likely the majority of that predominantly muslim country who are in jail are Yorubas and Hausas.

Ayatullah:
@Beaf, your dirty language shows the type of education you inherited from the teachers who taught you nonsense, a million shame on you. No wonder when I checked your profile your pix revealed an atheist and another man championing the dress code of colonial masters of old! Sane and people with pure education don't admire atheists!!!

The 'almajiris' who brought down the twin towers in the USA and shook to its foundation the pentagon will soon teach educated ones like you a lesson in Nigeria. The Bauchi Prison Operation is just a dress rehearsal for what will befall those of you who think you are wiser and more educated than others. Keep living in fool's paradise and boasting of a meaningless education.

This is a good one, bk.babe97y

Nigeria's three-decade enslavement under the military was entirely masterminded by the Igbo: Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Ironsi, Nwafor Orizu, Azikiwe. All the principal actors. But they were quick to roll over and play victim when the Hausas lashed back at them so brutally.

ChinenyeN:
Saddening, at least to me.

bk.babe97y:
Dude, ure moronic to say the least! Your people always scream war, if they want it so bad then may they suffer the consequences of war! Why would u wish ill on a people that seek good health? Is this just that Ibo way of thinking?

bk.babe97y:
Nigga, shut up up! Why should everyone suffer if your tribe is the only one always fuming for war?! I say they (your tribe) suffer all the deaths, loss, and disaster (alone) that u wish for all the other innocent/non-violent tribes!

Vallo57:
Yessss oooo!!!!, but this time around with certainty of death, small chance of success. What are you all wainting for?

How can a massive fraud and an embarrassment to all African scientists and intellectuals and to black people in general, advise anybody on anything? The man is a graduate school failure (notice I didn't say "dropout." Some graduate school dropouts go on to become very successful) who never contributed anything to anybody, especially Africa.
