That's why it is advised to stick to the Quran and not live by or adhere to the hadiths(man's own words).

Faith= hope & belief

GAR3TH:

When it comes to scientific claims, the Bible has the dumbest claims, with all due respect to Christians. its literally make no sense, same with other religious books. i believe that something created the universe, but i dont believe these, may i say B.S. story books that the world is caught up in. sorry

So what is that something you believe created the universe then?

He speaks when its time for him to run for office.What happened to all this knowledge and consultations with Igbo organizations outside of elections? Reminds me of Soludo talk a big talk after he left office when he was then craving for relevance again. Didn't work.

O arent u the lucky one. Who cares?!!! LOL

I know one thing, he's definitely a Chris Brown swag jacker.

calyx:

I disagree with bolded line completely. Regardless of whatever are your propositions, people have rights of choices of who should lead them

Whether you agree or not this is paramount in a country of corruption and tribalism. This aint america homie.

Andre Uweh:

@Chyz: Everything you wrote is well digested by me. It is not proper for any Tom and Harry to come to a public forum and start attacking Ndigbo. Let's say enough is enough to those insults.
Remember that before the late Yar'adua emerged, there were two other contestants including Buhari from the same state. Yet Yar'adua won. In 1999, it was two Yoruba sons who contested for the presidency.
I understand the need for one candidate to represent Ndigbo at any time but it is not always like that, and when that happens what do you do?.
If you have one credible Igbo candidate, he will defeat other ten Igbo candidates put together.

What you are saying is true. The thing i want is something that will bring people to their knees.We have gotten soft when it comes to dealing with people. Come 2015 a consensus candidate must come out and any Igbo opposition must be dealt with by any means necessary! This is it. If we can get the census issue fix(which would be one of the mightiest blow against northern rigging) all will be the better. We are head Of the Ministry of Interior Affairs, meaning we now have the ability to prevent northerners from getting their brothers from niger,chad,and cameroon to come in and forge votes and also and to their population during the census. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity. This is the time to clean up our house and people like Obinna Uzo and ken nnamani must he ostrasized and dealt with viciously in our land.

Andre Uweh:

Quit chatting crap here. Recently, the U.K labour party elected a leader and the contestants were brothers of the same mother and father. Did the U.K populace say anything was wrong with that. The region is blessed with so many capable hands and manpower, so everyone deserves a chance. I so much hate it when some clowns who do not know their left from their right yawn nonsense about Ndigbo.

De Andre, you know im for anything that is in the best interest of Igbo. In a critical atmosphere as nigeria what we Igbos need more that anything is less chiefs and more indians when it is on behalf has us as a people to progress. Nobody can hold us back if we work together. That's a fact. It takes the who country to gang up on us to hold us back(but this is while we are divided). What Harbb said should be taken with a grain of salt. There is truth in what he said. I would have been in support of an Igbo candidate for 2011 if and only if we had our house together but we don't.However, from now to 2015 we have enough time to fix and also reconstruct it with force but it is all up to us to do so. In 2015 we need not concern ourselves with PDP. 2015 is not my date because of PDP,no,but it is the date that it is all or nothing. The only thing that will stop us is mules such as Obinna Uzo other Igbos that will go into the election and split over votes. We need 1 igbo contestant and 1 alone.

Theres no such thing as SS seceding.Who has been calling for it?

MetalGong4:

Igbos do not need the advice of this silly Yeruba man that penned the above gibberish. . . . . He should also bear in mind that Igbos do not need Yoruba people to actualise their presidential ambition;afterall, they always vote for their tribal political parties.

Let Yeruba, Yoruba, or Yoruba not come out from your mouth again! . You are a fool to think yorubas are the main reason why igbos can't get their house together. Open you ears and take note to the word from a non-bias non-Igbo son that is the way to step forward. Constructive criticism is what helps those who haven't learned learn, gives pointers on areas that should be taken a look into, and what others think/or will think about you and your decision. Igbos at this point are being their own enemies.PERIOD!!!

Are there any Ukelle people in the house?

Nobody knows and shall ever know.

Lies are like food to women, they need it.

He is back beggin me to come back to his life he wants us to settle dow as in ''marriage'' i am presently not in any relationship buh can i go ahead and marry this guy? does appearance matter in marriage? is it advicable to go back to him pls i need your advice,

Um, your 26. You've been broken up with the dude for a yr now and you still have no man.Don't you think something may be wrong with you here? . There's nothing wrong with getting back with the guy just take it as ur were dishing out a 1yr suspension on him for indecent exposure. Now uy in the compromising zone.He will listen but you got to get ur own nonsense way of thinking corrected as well. Let me give you another thing to thing about your reaching the age where its going to get difficult to find the right person to marry instead of "i need to seetle down so he'll do "kind of guy. At you age range many times it is said the older you get the less guys want you. African man go go for sweet young 21 year old chick thats just the way it is so get cha mind right.

tpia@:

if you like big butt then that means you like fat women.

it's not rocket science, ok?  enough whining.

big butt = fat later on.

abi isnt fat the reason why the butt is big?

you people should start thinking with your up here, not down there.

if you claim not to like fat women then quit jumping up whenever you see a big behind.

Date only stick thin women with flat front and back.

Come on lets retract here. Date womwn with flat butts? I don;t think any guys want a woman with a washboard for an azz.that's a no sir-ry bob. And your "Up here" works in unison with your "down there". It's a perfect match.

Nigeria needs a new way of thinking. I doubt a person who's lived his whole life in nigeria can turn that country around for the good.

Photo: Lamidi Bamidele.

By Clifford Ndujihe, Deputy Political Editor

MY father, who was by every measure, the most successful farmer in the village and in the Ibogun area, was a proud Yoruba man and he told me about Oduduwa, the founder of the Yoruba nation.

Papa had heard this story from his own father, Baba Alarobo, who had heard it from his father, Baba Elesin. Papa said this story had been told for hundreds of years in our family in this ‘father-to-son’ way. Although, my father never stopped teaching us Yoruba culture, proverbs and tradition, he made us also respect the language, the culture, traditions and way of life of other people living in the village.

FOR the first time since some Yoruba leaders alleged in 2007 that his biological father was not a Yoruba man, immediate past President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has opened up on the matter.

Following comments ahead the 2007 polls, that the South-West, through Obasanjo had held power for eight years and as such should not expect power until 40 years later when the other five zones would have tasted power, some Yoruba leaders alleged that Obasanjo was biologically an Igbo man.

According to them, Obasanjo’s father was Onyekwelu from Onitsha in Anambra State and so his reign should be viewed as an Igbo reign.Unlike Obasanjo, he did not react to the allegation.

However, he has done so in an unusual manner via a book on him entitled: Baba’s Story: Nigeria is 50,” authored by a Ghanaian, Abyna-Ansaa Adjei. The book was presented, yesterday, in Lagos.

Political history of Nigeria

Obasanjo, in the 207-paragraph book, traced his ancestry and the political history of Nigeria.
Speaking on his childhood, and growing up days, he said on page nine of the book: “I was born in a village called Ibogun-Olaogun in what was then Abeokuta Province and which is today part of Ifo Local Government Area in Ogun State.

This village is only 30 kilometres from Abeokuta. As a child, I lived in Ibogun-Olaogun with my parents and my younger sister, Oluwola. Our childhood was a simple one spent in a typical Nigerian farming settlement. Our village had less than 50 huts built with mud walls and mostly thatched roofs and the only jobs at the time were farming or petty trading in farm products.

“By age five, I had started going to the farm with Papa and that was when he began to teach me about the history, culture and traditions of my ancestors and our land. Our village, though small, was composed of other ethnic groups such as Itsekiri, Urhobo, Igbira, Hausa, Igbo and Ijaw who were also either petty traders or farm hands. My father, who was by every measure, the most successful farmer in the village and in the Ibogun area, was a proud Yoruba man and he told me about Oduduwa, the founder of the Yoruba nation.

“Papa had heard this story from his own father, Baba Alarobo, who had heard it from his father, Baba Elesin. Papa said this story had been told for hundreds of years in our family in this ‘father-to-son’ way. Although, my father never stopped teaching us Yoruba culture, proverbs and tradition, he made us also respect the language, the culture, traditions and way of life of other people living in the village.”

With these words, Obasanjo has replied his opponents.

Also quoting from the book Obasanjo also said: “Let me tell you more of what I learned about the Yoruba history. Oduduwa was the eldest son of King Lamurudu of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Mecca is the centre of the Islamic world. Oduduwa worshipped idols instead of practising Islam.


The elders of Mecca were very unhappy about this. There was a fight and King Lamurudu was killed and so Oduduwa and his men had to leave Mecca, making their way west.

“For ninety days and nights they travelled looking for a new settlement. They finally stopped somewhere, in what is present-day Nigeria, and built a town called Ile- Ife.

“My cousin, Taiwo, told me another story about the Yorubas that his grandpa, my Great Uncle Adebayo, had shared with him. This story regarded Oduduwa as son of Olodumare, the Yoruba creator-god. Olodumare had sent Oduduwa to earth to create dry land over the water and, by so doing, founded Ile-Ife. It is, therefore, no surprise that many Yorubas regard Ife as the centre of creation and the cradle of civilization.

“Oduduwa’s eldest son was called Okanbi. Okanbi had seven children who became the pillars of the Yoruba nation. Okanbi’s third child became King of Benin. When Okanbi died, his older children got the lion’s share of what their father left. Cattle, wives, money, royal beads and the crown were quickly shared. His youngest son, Oranyan, was given only bare land.

“However, Oranyan soon became the richest amongst his siblings. This happened because to get any land to build or farm, the older siblings had to part with their ‘riches’ of animals, servants, money or royal beads. Oranyan then founded Oyo and became its first King. Today, if you visit Ile-Ife, there is a stone pillar marking where this great son of Yoruba is buried. This pillar is called the staff of Oranyan.

Other ethnic groups

“My father made sure he taught me about other ethnic groups in Nigeria. My childhood friend, Adamu, with whom I played all my childhood pranks, was Hausa. His grandfather, Papa Buba, had moved from a place in the North called Kebbi to settle in our village, long before I was born.

Oduduwa is to the Yoruba what Bayajida is to the Hausa and Daura in Katsina State is their origin. Chukwu was my other childhood friend in the village. He was an Igbo, the son of Papa Nkechi. Papa Nkechi was a palmwine tapper in addition to being a farmer.

“The Igbo people make up one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. My father told me the story of how the Igbos came to settle in Igboland. The divine King, Eri, is said to be the godfather of the Igbo civilization. He was sent down to earth by God who, in the Igbo language, is called Chukwu.

When he got to earth, it was watery and swampy. There was no dry place to set his feet, so Eri told Chukwu he had had a very rough landing and, as such, had settled on top of an anthill. Chukwu sent a blacksmith armed with fire and charcoal to dry the earth. Eri then settled in the middle of Anambra valley.

[size=18pt]Arms seizure: Nsa Meets Security Chiefs[/size]
•[size=13pt]FG orders stricter control[/size]

From JULIANA TAIWO, Abuja

Friday, October 29, 2010



Following the interception of 13 containers, loaded with explosives and other dangerous weapons, Tuesday and his visit to Lagos to get first hand information, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Gen. Andrew Azazi (retd), was yesterday locked in over five- hour security meeting with the nation’s top security chiefs.

The containers, according to a security source, contained rockets, launchers, hand grenades and ammunition. The inscription on the rocket launchers has manufacturing date 2008, LOT: 353 and 107 å rocket and other inscriptions on some of the containers are Sole 786681 (9) (2291), Sole 786653 (1) (2261), Sole 786961 (2) (2261), Sole 786870 (7) (2261), Sole 786877 (1).

Daily Sun gathered that those present at the meeting were Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petirin, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azuka Ihejirika, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sa’ad Ibrahim, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Mohammed Dikko Umar, the Director-General of the State Security Services (SSS), Ita Ekpeyong, the DG National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Oladeji Olaniyi, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Hafiz Ringim, among others. The meeting, security sources said, centred more on the arms seizure.

Though details of the meeting were still sketchy as at press time, it was gathered that following the arms haul, the Federal Government had directed stricter security presence at the Apapa Ports, the Onne Port and other major ports across the country to forestall the use of such routes for arms shipments into the country.
It was further learnt that the government had also directed security to be beefed up in all the nation’s airports while the army, the air force and the navy had been put on the alert.

A top security source revealed that the Nigerian Navy had been instructed to ensure the dreaded routes in the nation’s waterways were policed round the clock to stem any possible shipment of arms into the country through such routes.

“The Navy is put on the alert and has been instructed to strictly monitor all the waterways so that nobody can ship any arm into the country. The President is very concerned over the development and he wants everything possible to be done to reduce it.” President Jonathan had told the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month that Nigeria would spearhead the campaign against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, stressing that the presence of such small arms in the continent of Africa had led to the deaths of millions of people.

GAR3TH:

I think because the large majority of africa doesnt have proper maritime defense equipment. and for the fact that no nation controls the open oceans, is why the Hamas or who ever, chose to go by sea instead of going by land. land meaning the heavy patrolled borders of the war ravaged middle east. . . thats my theory

So u actually believe this whole Iran hamas israel thing?
