This Shyt belongs in the dust bin.

Ileke-IdI:
shhh lemme enjoy Dede1's scene of foolery for now. Find more anti-Yoruba threads to post with your other ID

This one is doing quite fine. I think I'll stay.

Ileke-IdI:
Very far. . . .2000 miles estimation.
According to Dede1, they're not my pics oh.

well cut down the mileage, gas is skyrocketing now. But for real whats up with the leg pics? What ever happened to front side back side?

Ileke-IdI:
Ohh see the sexy hot legs ohh. . . .cheiii, Dede1 will not die because of the sexy hot legs in Ileke-Idi's profile

Ileke-idi, how far? Yo, does the person who continues to take your pics have a foot-fetish or something?

Rhino.5dm:
How else do you want me to put it?? The igbos support for IBB was an open secret and uptil today majority of igbos are wishing IBB is still in the race, No??

I have a couple of them here, thier reason is that IBB was the only Nigerian president that made alot of igbos rich and they can go to any lenght in supporting his ambition.

Rhino, I am not denying Igbos support for IBB;however, at the same time, we were supporting GJ as well. At the time, it was a rollercoaster support between the two in the SE. We all can agree to that. GJ's support took off completely in the SE with the endorsement of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Rhino.5dm:
Pls and pls! stop giving the igbos bad name cos i know so many things igbo are capable, this is not one of them.

common! we are talking about last year not biafran war.

Do you have a selective amnesia??(no offence)

Umm, I'm not getting your logic. Explain?

Alj Uche:
SMH   no point

Good. I thought not. Next time learn how to read into politics before you go typing something you don't know.

eku_bear:
Na wa o

So now they are denying the support of IBB?

Something that happened just a few months ago

Don't you have to wait a bit longer to distort history than that?

Who exactly is denying support for IBB?

Alj Uche:
guy guy so if u support someone, it does not mean you want the person there,.,. chai  

see your reasoning here, i mean did you read it all  
at the red part please MR ENGLISH interpret what it means

Reread what you put I show me where he says he is choosing IBB for presidency. Giving support in campaigning and wishing him the good luck doesn't cut it. Try again.

Rhino.5dm:
@ chyz
guy quit arguing blindly. even the death,daft and dumb knows that ojukwu throws his wieght on IBB.

Infact he called him Ibrahim Badamasi 'OKECHUKWU' Babangida.

So calling him "Okechukwu" means he wants him to be the president of Nigeria? I dey laugh. All of these guys were in the army together, they are all friends or were at some point so I'm not getting you reasoning.

ok here is another one

[size=18pt]OJUKWU PLEDGES SUPPORT OF IGBOS FOR IBB[/size]

F[b]ormer Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeku Odumegwu-Ojukwu has pledged support of Igbo people for the presidential aspiration of former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and gave him the name Okechukwu.

The Ikemba of Nnewi gave this pledge when a group of IBB campaigners under the aegis of Campaign Network for IBB 2011, South East Zone, paid him a courtesy visit at the weekend.

'Tell your principal that Igbos are for him. He has my support and by extension he has the support of the whole Igbo people both at home and in the Diaspora. He is my friend and I am stoutly behind him,' Ojukwu said.

He used the occasion to rechristen Babangida as Okechukwu. 'He is now Ibrahim Badamasi Okechukwu Babangida. That is his new name. I wish him success.' Earlier, the leader of the group, Chief Tony Emeka Ani, said the group had come to solicit the support of Ojukwu for the presidential aspiration of IBB, adding that the group had just been inaugurated in the South East.
[/b]
On the entourage of Ani was Mr. Yemi George, leader of the group in Europe, who came down from Germany to grace the occasion.

Where does it say he wants IBB for president. Because he's wishing him support in his campaigning he now wants him to be president? Every nigerian has the right to run as president, do they not? Campaigners came to visit Ojukwu and now all of a sudden courtesy means "I want you to be president"? Come on, youve got to do better than that.

Alj Uche:
no point in putting i dare you

here it is

By  Tony Edike, Enugu
THE Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was yesterday, reported to be in support for the presidential ambition of former military leader, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 2011,  saying he would support him as far as it was the desire and aspiration of the people of the country.
Ojukwu, who declared that Babangida deserves a second chance to rule the nation,  said he was convinced that he possessed the required qualities that could take the country to further heights as, according to him, IBB remains a strong voice in Nigerian politics.
The ex-Biafran leader, who received a delegation of Campaign Network for IBB led by Chief Peter Dada Osadebay in his residence in Enugu, said the former military president remains his bosom friend.
Among the dignitaries that visited Ojukwu were Chief Emeka Ani [South East coordinator of the campaign}, Chief Anike Agbo, Alhaji Nurudeen Gasali Babatunde, Chief Anike Nwoga, Chief Anike Nwaba, among others.
Osabebay, told reporters after a closed door meeting with the former Biafran warlord that Ojukwu’s comments on Babangida were very encouraging, stressing that the Ikemba had promised to work with the former military leader.
He said that Ojukwu, who had cut short his visit to his village in Nnewi to receive the group, was full of excitement and commended the spirit behind the campaigns.

Now reread his statement and tell me again where he says he IS supporting him as president.Now i see why you people can never out do us on comprehensive tests.smh. I'm guessing this is the quote you are going off of, " saying he would support him as far as it was the desire and aspiration of the people of the country".<---------- Meaning if the NIGERIAN PEOPLE want him then he will also support him. You have a brain for a reason, use it.

jason123:
Chyz, I have nothing to prove to you. Do you know how many yorubas that were waiting for ACN to pick Iwela Check all the political fora, you will see the same thread. We were all waiting for ACN to pick Iwela before the yoruba guy was picked.

With that said, if/ when GEJ  (OBJ's son) becomes the president, I will be waiting patiently to see how the fortunes of the SE will improve. If you all want to play tribal politics, then, you all know who will be winning everytime, don't you?? Yeah, it is the North. Moreover, after GEJ, WHAT NEXT I really just hope NO group will come out and start demanding for presidency because it will be absolutely ridiculous.

To start off, the comment about "you all want to play tribal politics, then, you all know who will be winning everytime, don't you??". It definitely wont be yorubas because its gotten you all know where.Unless you can name a time when it did work in your favor? And about Iweala, did i not say suggest that she was the favorable one over the yoruba guy, meaning  favorable to both Igbo,yorubas as well? Now as far as she is concerned, I said TINUBU based his choice to refuse her the vp running mate position based off of tribalism, not the YORUBAS. Get it?

[size=18pt]Ojukwu backs IBB for president in 2011[/size]

Sunday, 02 May 2010
AHEAD of 2011 general elections, the Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu on Saturday threw his weight behind General Ibrahim Babangida’s presidential ambition, saying the former military president should be given a second chance to rule the country.

Chief Ojukwu said he was convinced that General Babanginda had the required qualities that could take the country to greater heights, adding that the former military ruler remains a strong voice politically in the country.

The Ikemba who stated this when he received a delegation of Campaign Network for IBB (CNI) led by Chief Peter Dada Osadebay in his residence in Enugu, said Babangida remains his bosom friend.

It was gathered that Chief Ojukwu had cut short his stay at Nnewi where he is mourning his late second wife to receive the pro-IBB group in Enugu. He headed back immediately to his country home after saying farewell to his visitors.

Among the dignitaries that visited Ojukwu were Chief Emeka Ani [south East coordinator of the campaign}, Chief Anike Agbo, Alhaji Nurudeen Gasali Babatunde, Chief Anike Nwoga, Chief Anike Nwaba .

Briefing reporters shortly after a close door meeting with Ojukwu, the National President of the Pro-IBB group, Chief Osabebay, said that Ojukwu’s comments on Babangida was encouraging, stressing that Ikemba had promised to work with the former military leader.

I seriously hope you are not going off of the title of the article. Highlight were he is supporting him for president. Were is his quote that states that? If it is not on this article, pull up another one where he says that. I dare you.

From:Jason123

Yorubas were the main supporters of GEJ when the Northern cabal ganged up against him. The igbos on NL were talking about Zoning and all. Even Ojukwu gave his support to IBB. Yorubas stood behind GEJ through out.
The reason why yorubas stopped supporting him has nothing to do with ethnic affiliation rather it is the tribalism game, lack of compassion, lack of vision and butt licking.

When he came to the SW to campaign, he praised yorubas as the most educated and sophisticated et al but that does not mean yorubas want praises, what they want is development and ZERO tolerance to corruption. Take a look at the people that accompanied him in the SW, AKALA, OGD, Bode etc these are the people that have milked us dry so why should they now support him? Because he is a southerner? NO. Forget the praises, praises cannot feed a hungry child, it cannot help a robbed victim, it cannot help the commuter or anyone. Its all a contrivance. Why do you think they (yorubas) dislike OBJ??
My brother, with the little time I have spent with the yorubas, I can tell you that their politics is not based on how much you say but what you can do! It has nothing to do with ethnicity. Remember, the SW has the highest amount of people that are not from that region, that alone speaks volumes about how they think.
GEJ systematically moved from a humble and caring man to a desperate, clueless and power hungry man. Take a look at what happened in JOS. What about the AKALAs? should they not be prosecuted?? The guy has 100% tolerance for corruption , in fact, he is corruption himself! Take a look at the PDP primaries and the envelopes under the seats of delegates (5000 dollars  Shocked Sad) .

Although most of you consider ACN as a tribal party, some if not most yorubas will not vote for Ribadu, they prefer Buhari! Why? It is the genuine desire to stamp out corruption regardless of the ethnic affiliation. That is the truth!!!!

We have to stamp out corruption and tribalism before we can move forward as a nation. GEJ will be voted for based on tribalism. GEJ brought Ciroma's wife, Alams and all because he is corrupt! Forget the sentiments like "God chose him". How can God choose a man who is this corrupt? How can God choose a man that welcomed Bode George out of prison? How can God choose a man that brought Alams ( a man who dressed as a woman just to escape UK) to his team HOW  MY BROTHERS? HOW?HuhHuh

A good, corrupt free Nigeria will be good for us all. Forget the North and South dichotomy. This is the time for change not FEE DEE FEEE!!

Yorubas never stood behind GJ through out. They were too busy sweating and running around over IBB's candidacy. Stop lying, anumanu. GJ never praised "yorubas" as the most educated like you claim. You all didn't start supporting Buhari until Bakare was his running mate, and that is a fact. You of all people were extremely scared of the whole northerners holding on to power forever if they get this chance.Also, you all were scream about sharia, sharia. ACN is a tribal political party. It's more of the reason why tinubu refused to let Ribadu's choice of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala be running mate. A lady which everybody was for. Instead, tinubu picked a yoruba dude that no one knows just so it will at least still have yoruba control. Could'nt have to non-yoruba's running for presidency on his parties ticket, especially not a Fulani and an Igbo person, right? With the mentality of a fulani and an Igbo together, he knows he will have no say in their decisions whatsoever, and also, his party will become detribalized. And to end, Ojukwu never, never gave his support for IBB to become president, i dare you to post where he said it.

It's sad how a whole people needs a "king" in order to progress,lol.

So now because the U.S. is making a case because of oil, it is now our business to condemn Gadhafi and interfere in his country? Is there not massacres that have been going on for years in Black African countries? Did the U.S. sent it's armies to Dafar, Rwanda, Congo,etc.? No, but the massacres there were more brutal and far stretched than what is happening in Libya. The striking thing is that there is only rebellion in one little area,not the whole country.

Alj Uche:
okayyyy  makes sense now

so you believe it is rightful for ohaneze to demand for more seats in lagos when we have hausa which are par with the igbo population

kanuri, edo, ijaw and co

what do you think 

The Hausas are not par with Igbos in Lagos. Ohanaeze cannot fight for that the hausas,edo,kanuri, etc. want, they only concern themselves with their own ethnic group. If the hausas want seats who is stopping them for "demanding" it? They are free to do so.

Alj Uche:
when i said ohaneze, i meant ohaneze is now a social-political group that represent the interest of ndigbo in and outside aligbo.

so if they want to make themselves more politically relevant in a state like lagos, i ask what have they done with the massob and biafra slogan in aligbo. would ohaneze want an OPC member or someone related to them to rule there state ?

i mentioned ijaw because i believe there are more igbos in balysea or rivers state than in lagos, so why can't they ask for political relevace there,.,. why lagos

or are there no igbo that are indigenous in edo state any more, surly there population would be more than lagos

why not edo state, why lagos?


thanks

Ohanaeze and MASSOB have two totally different missions/goals; One wants to promote the igbo culture,tradition, and relevance in nigeria, while the other wants Igbo secession from nigeria. So no, it would make no point for ohanaeze to indulge itself into MASSOB issues.

You are wrong about it being more Igbos in Bayelsa than lagos. There are, i believe, only two indigenous Igbo communities in Bayelsa. The rest of the Igbos there are from other states, and there is not many.

As far as Rivers, Ohanaeze needs not ask for political relevance for the Igbos in Rivers because 65-70% of Rivers State is Igbo. The governor of Rivers as we speak is Igbo and thetwo governors before him, Ohemia and Odili, are Igbos as well.

About the Igbos in Edo state, there are only a few indigenous Igbo communities in Edo state, the number doesn't even at up to the Igbos in lagos. Ohanaeze is/was also involved in getting them included in Anioma State.

I wonder what his wealth will be once nigeria splits up. He definitely won't have a monopoly on the various industries he's having in nigeria. Definitely not in an Igbo country.

Plain and simple.

Alj Uche:
What is ohaneze done about massob biafra dream before ruling other people be it ijaw and co ?

Ohanaeze has nothing to do with Biafra. Also, what made you mention ijaw and ohanaeze ruling them?

Andre Uweh:
Also , Rochas Okorocha is missing.

My brother, PDP has cheated us again. No APGA or ACN candidate is in the debate. It is obvious they only allowed candidate of unpopular political parties to enter the debate,in favor of Ohakim.This is sad. PDP must go.I am even about to Sai Buhari.

henry101:
I can seize power today and lock up all yoruba generals and have the Ooni of Ife saying is the will of God.

ROFL!

Omenani:
Igbos and the hen comparison is quite foolish. For the most part, Igbos after the defeat of Biafra have looked to the economy and not politics. Our region is not being exploited like other regions in Nigeria are. Our oil has not been tapped into, the coal minds of Enugu has been left dormant. The list is endless.

As most people have commented, it would be quite foolish to use such a simplistic analogy of George Orwell's Animal Farm to compare it with Nigeria.

Gbam!

eku_bear:
^-- Why would I bother to compete with my inferiors?  What is the point of that?

On a serious note, his argument was pretty well done. Yours imo was not. I try to say this without bias or favor.

Whether you're being bias or not akes no difference to me. I stated facts and it's as simple as that.  

eku_bear:
^-- Not a good enough response. As if you didn't even read his post. Perhaps you need to call in a bigger gun to help you debunk.

Not good enough by whose terms,lol? You people are always trying to compete with us Igbos.Funny. What I stated was facts not nonsense like your brother typed up there.

bk.babe97y:
I was actually gonna answer you earlier, but for some reason I kept skipping your post. Ok, lemme answer you as best as I can.

When I set out to equate Animal Farm to Nigerian society, one thing I made sure I did (to make sure the topic was taken seriously) was to make sure there was no iota of bias exhibited. I also tinged it with humor to make sure people did not take any of my characterizations to heart. i.e Eziachi and the Biafran Vets. If Beaf could not be characterized as Squealer, who could? Assume I had labelled Onlytruth as Squealer that would have been a obvious bias on my part wouldnt it ? Ibos would have been quick to say I was trying to demonize them. I view OnlyTruth as a tribalist, but, is he an unrepentant propagandaist like Beaf? Hell No! He'll tell his own lies (more than the average NLer) but he wont put in "Over-time" trying to choke us with his lies.

I described the Niger-Delta as the Cows; how is that wrong? I viewed the Ibos as the Hens; how is that wrong? Did you guys read my OP at all or are you just being like semi-illiterates like Chyz, cap28, EzeUche and co that are just running around screaming "He called us Hens! He referred to Ndibo as Hens! We're the Lions of Africa why didnt he refer to us as Lions or Tigers". . . . . . Ummmm. . . . .Maybe, cus there were no wild animals in the book?! And even if there were, despite the numerous chest-beating and attempts to convince others to the contrary, I doubt I'd be ascribing the title of "Lion" to the Ibos. . . . .

Notice that I did not assign any[b] SPECIFIC [/b]character to the Yorubas! For one, I did not see any character that suitably described them: without arousing the wrath of readers of other tribal groups (read: IBOS!). Being that they are known to be intellectuals I could easily have likened The Yorubas to "Minimus"----but I knew some *other groups (*IBOS) would still complain to the heavens. Besides, I honestly didnt feel Minimus fully described how I viewed the Yorubas.

So, what did I do? I likened them to, not only the Pigs, but also to the other animals; which is what they really are in the Nigerian context (at least in my opinon). Afterall, they can be found among the Elite and the common man. I know mo*rons like Ezeuche and Chyz's retort to my last statement would be "But, Ibos are also found among the Elite and common man. . . . ". But, HAVE THE YORUBAS EVER BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY REVOLTED, REFUSED TO GIVE UP THEIR "EGGS", GET BLOCKADED AND STARVED (BY THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, LED BY THE PIGS HAUSAS) UNTIL THEY STARTED GIVING UP THEIR EGGS AGAIN? NO? YES? So, in this instance who was I supposed to characterize as the "Hens", Hausas, Ibos or Yorubas?!

The Niger-Delta is being plundered daily. This is known news world-wide. If I had assigned the role of "Cows" to any other group other than the people of the Niger-Delta, how credible would the rest of my OP have looked? Or do you not know about the "Cows" as described in the book? Dude, dont tell me you havent even read the book. . . . .!

The truth is (and you can take this anyhow you feel): Ibos here on NL, and in real life, are more prone to complain about any and everything---more than any other group in Nigeria! Its so hard to satisfy them! Do not take this as me saying EVERY Ibo has this annoying attitude! No, not all, but if theres gonna be complaints (no matter how flimsy) about "marginalization"; 9/10 its gonna be an Ibo. And thats just the plain truth.

If I had described the Yorubas as the Hens or the Cows (which wouldnt have made sense, honestly) Ibos would have screamed blue-murder. They would have remembered the genocide they were forced to go through. They would have remembered that the rest of the country watched while they were killed and their lands plundered. They would have remembered that they were "starved" into giving up their revolt. They would would have remembered that they were "forced", against their wishes, back into the Union called Nigeria! Didnt the Hens face all of this (just like the Ibos)? Dude, read the book and let your imagination do the work!

Like I said, some people have just been genetically programmed to be averse to the truth; they'll turn it on its head in a heart beat! They'll whine about anything. Tell me, in your own opinion: WHAT ANIMAL/ANIMALS WOULD YOU HAVE DESCRIBED AS THE YORUBAS!?!?! Please, show me cause I dont see it!

Notice that YOU DO NOT SEE THE YORUBAS WHINING ABOUT NOT BEING ASSIGNED ANY CHARACTER, BUT YOU SEE THE IBOS WHINING ABOUT A CHARACTER THAT ACCURATELY DESCRIBES THEIR SITUATION!!! Notice also, that the usual Biafran Brigade (led by EzeUche) was quick to start the usual "Ibos better than Yoruba" comparisons that they are famously known for. . . . .

I can go on and on, but I'm pretty sure my message is clear.

Finally, again I ask you, IF YOU SEE ANY CHARACTER IN THE BOOK THAT EPITOMIZES THE YORUBAS PLEASE LEMME SEE IT CUS I DONT!!!

Since when did the Nigerian forces not consist of Igbos too? Since when where the people starved only Igbos? The whole Hen and Igbo comparison makes no sense,my eediot friend. Also, no mention of the Yorubas as a people,where they at nig? The Northerners occupied yorubaland and stay there and refused to leave, even after you all were begging them to remove their troops from your land. You were held captive in your own land. They did not leave until they said so and got what they wanted. Yet you see no need to add Yorubas to your screwed up waste of thought and energy.

Oh yea, and umm, I like the way that you are explaining yourself to prove a point to we Igbos. Must have to you a long time. Keep it up. If you impress us enough maybe will give you a get out of jail yorubaland free card.

ROTFLMAO! my stomach is gone,lol
