₦airaland Forum

datola: Nigeria is finished with the likes of Achebe as intellectual icon. It is obvious from this revelation that he does not believe in Nigeria's oneness and that's why he has been rejecting National honors not because of bad governance. I counsel him to repent so that he will not start his own hell fire from earth.

Igbos are blaming Yorubas and vice Versa, non seems to blame Hausa, that's why they have been having upper.

Nairaland is a forum where igbos are always seeking opportunity to attack the Yorubas and an Igbo man is a commissioner in Lagos, they are all over Lagos prospering without hindrance- sure that can never happen in other regions.

I think we are supposed to appreciate each others instead of this campaign of calumny led by now intellectually challenged Achebe.

I beg to disagree. The yorubas on this forum almost always cast the first stone. Looking for any opportunity to deride the Igbo tribe. It's the truth and you know it.

Onlytruth: Any Igbo war with Yoruba will not stop until we chase you Yoruba to Benin and Ghana or wipe you out, because we cannot afford to live with your mouths for another 40 years.
I don't see it any other way.

Nwanne m nwoke there is no need for all the hate. Fact remains that the Yorubas were practically the only people that kept our properties for us, took care and handed the rents over to us after d war. Even our so called south south brothers grabbed them in the abandoned property saga. I witnessed these. One good favour deserves another. As for Awo, it is not for me to Judge him, let posterity do that. Achebe remains a man i take on as a mentor. Lets bury our hatchet and fight our common enemy.

Ji_sun_pack: . . .and even claiming to be the most " industrious" and hard working. smh!

My "girl friend" is always under my bed, oiled and ever ready to please me.

a mere tip-toeing around my house will make you a moving targets. The pleasure is mine

Shut up, Yoruba idiat.

IVORY2009: I over heard sometime that the natioanl university commission (NUC) withdrawn der document i.e Lead City University, be dat as it maybe, this is becoming a consign, the rate as which youths in Nigeria are mostly looking for a get rich quick opportunity.

Bros, this your English na waya!!!

nagoma: Igbos will never Allow this country to settle down. The likes of Nzegwu, ifeajuna and okafor are still around. They derailed the country by their ethnic cleansing murders of 15th January 1966.

Mr Boko haram, which one qualifies as ethnic cleansing: killing a few corrupt leaders or wiping out more than 30,000 easterners in the name of repraisal killing and counter coup?

Ile-Ife:
can't you people just have a little bit of self-control? This is the kind of behaviour that made northerners kill almost 30,000 people before the civil war. igbos are dominating abi? common sense. i just hope ihejirika does not try to high-five the president again in public, you know, in response to his reappointment.

So in your primitive brain, u think the pogrom of 1966 was carried out because a few Igbos excelled in their fields? What exactly is your point?

Ikengawo: I think the church is the bed rock of corruption in nigeria.
It's used for money laundering,
Priests and preachers are bribed to convince their followers to vote one way and thus sell their church to the highest bidder
they're payed by politicians to attack their enemies
they parasitically make billions off selling lies (miracles) to the poor. Convincing farm women that God needs their harvest and generators.
they assist in hiding criminals

it's incredible.

For your info, the catholic church is self sustaining and doesn't need TITHES from members to survive.

Okija_juju: UMU IGBO Kwenu!! [color=#009900]I cant blame Jonathan, all the people in top positions in this country that have really shown any real promise were all Igbos.. Akunyili, Ihejirika, Soludo, Barth Nnaji, Okonjo-Iweala amongst many others.. NEXT.. IGBO PRESIDENT!![/color]

For the very first time Okija, i find myself agreeing entirely with you with a smile. Maybe we should get together sometime at Blue elephant and clink glasses

kettykin: @NL 2 igbo service chiefs , what is really happning to quota and zoning system

And so what? 2 IGBO and 2 YORUBA sons there will ensure the northern boko jihadists are decisively dealt with without any sentiments as shown by the pompous Dambazzau.

maclatunji: Of course and they don't ask questions about how a single man can afford to give such huge amounts away without stealing or some other form of crime. Even Dangote can't give away N1 billion without putting his business in danger. He can only make such donations to fuel political campaigns to get $1 billion in return.

You are a MUSLIM and so i don't expect you to know the concept of TITHE and how it works. Enough said.

gidiMonsta: So a reverend father involved in Money laundering should be left alone, just because you don't want to touch a 'Man of God'? No wonder Africa is so backward.

NB: It's 'steal' retard.

Shut up Idiat. Did the Reverend fathers know of their involvement in the banking scam till your brother Sanusi kicked them out of office? I wonder how some of you here reason?

maclatunji: What a shame? Can this clergymen truly say in their hearts-of-hearts that they didn't know the money they were collecting as tithe was tainted?

And who told you that the Pastors or Priests are spirits that they will know the source of the money being given as Tithe? Please STFU if you don't have anything to say jare.

amor4ce: The following report excludes the kidnap cases perpetrated by the same 'industrious' people outside their homeland.

[size=16pt]938 persons kidnapped, N1.2 billion ransom paid in 8 months in South East[/size]
Reporters365 August 17, 2012

Kidnapping has become the fastest growing business in Nigeria’s south-east with no fewer than 938 prominent sons and daughters of the South East zone are alleged to have been kidnapped between January 2008 and August 2012, a civil society group, Campaign for Democracy (CD), has said.

Police authorities, however, disagreed with the figures, saying it was the figment of the imagination of the group that released the figures.

In a statement signed by Mr Uzor Uzor and Dr Jerry Chukwuokolo, the CD chairman and secretary respectively in the South East, said the kidnapped persons paid ransoms said to be valued at about N1.2 billion during the period.

The statement also said that kidnappers collected substantial amounts from their victims ranging from N5 million to N30 million per individual.

“Anambra State has the highest incidence of kidnapping of 273 persons, especially within the commercial axis of Onitsha and Nnewi. And it is happening at a constant rate for over five years now.

“Imo State with the current up-surge in kidnapping incidence has recorded 265 cases, while its residence is living in heightened fear.

“Abia follows behind with 215 persons so far; although the incidences of kidnapping had continued to reduce for some months now after the death of a notorious kidnapper called Osisikankwu.

“Enugu has recorded 95 cases in the past five years. However, the state has recorded the highest in abduction of government officials.

“Ebonyi is the least of all the five states in the South-east. It has recorded 90 cases so far officially. However, apart from kidnapping the state is laden with communal crisis,’’ it said.

The statement maintained that there was a need to take decisive actions to checkmate the spate of kidnapping in the zone.

“One practical way of doing it is the demolition of established structures or buildings used by kidnappers to advance their operations.

“The governors in the zone must work in synergy to address the issue of security and draft laws that would stiffen the penalties for kidnapping and other related offences,’’ the CD said.

The group gave the South-east governors’ forum till the end of October 2012 to address the up-surge in kidnapping and restore the confidence of foreign investors to the zone.

Contacted, the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba, described CD’s figures as a figment of their imagination.

He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the police was the statutory authority to issue the number of persons kidnapped in an area.

He, however, raised some questions over the CD’s statement: “What is the source of their information? What is the methodology of obtaining the figures? Do the CD work with the kidnappers or did the kidnappers render account to them?’’

And so? How does that make us the topmost kidnapping region in d world? Or is it because Seun and d mods always bring up topics to indirectly ridicule Igbos on this forum? What of your Yoruba brothers who have made living in the U.K and U.S a living hell by your various internet scams and bank frauds.

jude33084: Wahala gey oh! I wonder Wђɑ̤̥̈̊† τhe christians will sue τhe muslims for?

We the coalition of Southern Nigerian Christians and non-muslims also demand a compensation of 1trillion Naira for the wanton Slaughtering, Bombing, shooting e.t.c of our brethren and churches, by the Islamist Jihadists in the north.

nagoma: This massacre is apparently by a group of students opposing the student union election result..( not by BH we are informed) They are learning very fast from INEC conducted general elections. This is an ominous sign when these evil youg men become the politicians.

You hausafulani muslims will never cease to amaze me with your savage brand of islam. So it was fellow students that seperated them into aboki and non-abokis and masaccared the latter in an execution style? So it was students that armed themselves wit AK47s? I blame the northern christians and southwesterners who teamed up with you to massacre southeasterners in the Biafra war. Maybe if they had listened to Ojukwu, we wouldnt have been coexixting in d same country with those hausafulani muslim savages.

GARRI (x7):
This is a shame!!!
Pics of a zoo and not even a LIZARD in any of dem!!!

I guess we lost the animals to the Bokoharam terrorists.

Alas all d animals have been killed or died of starvation. Typical naija way of doing thangz. @Okija u try sha, e no easy.

Sir cuba: I ptiy anambrans for allowin dis man to enter flood cos u will pay for d followins: italian shoes ,belts ,prada wrist watch,gucci outfit and titanus allawance...

We will gladly pay without batting an eyelid. Oya, crawl back to your almajiri infested state.

F00028: maybe they are more passionate about their Prophet that christians are about the "Son of God" even though he died for them.

Passionate indeed. Passionate enough to take a life you didn't create abi?

Eko Atlantic#:
Why military?!

What's so special in evacuating flood victims that Red cross or any other agency appointed to the designated field can't handle?

Must you ofemmanus always criticise every action (Good or Bad) of Governor Obi? What is wrong with the millitary getting involved? Is it not a natural disaster? Don't millitary get involved in rescue operations in the U.S, U.K, asia and other climes?

killuminati: oga if u no ge beta tins to yarn make just shut ur isht down!

Ok, assuming flood affect ur zone like dat, then ur govno come hold mic enter the water dey yarn dust n tek pictures. How u for feel?

Before i answer your childish question, tell me your state. I myself am proudly Anambrarian.

Okija_juju: Nwokem.. It would have been better if he didnt go there at all.. See Oshomoles visit to a disaster area and compare..

So what's your point? That he stays back in Government house sipping Gin and Juice when his state is flooded and people are dying? If i didn't know Governor Obi personally i wouldn't be exchanging word with you ignorant negroes. Haters. Face your state my friend. Fake a$$ Okija wannabe.

Maybe Osun state should honour Abacha too by renaming the Government house, Sani Abacha house, and making his wife a Chief Maryam Abacha for creating Osun State too abi? Ijaws have once again proved that they reason like drunken sailors. No wonder the man at Aso Rock makes public gaffes so often.

I shudder at the primitive way some people reason. So Anambra is flooded because Governor Obi didn't construct drainages eh kwa? Or can't you haters get it into your cement skulls that the flooding was caused by the dams being opened simultaneously in cameroun and Nigeria? Smh....

k2039: [color=#FF0099] [size=13pt]
I cant stop laughing,sometimes this politicians actually think we are dumb,whereas they are the ones that are dumb,if he thinks entering into water makes him a good governor then I cant agree less that he is the dumbest person I have ever seen

[/size][/color]

You jealous niggas need to get a life. If he no enter water, they will say he is insensitive. Enter water they will say it is publicity stunt. Haba! Wetin we go do to please Nigerians sef? Abeg u guys should go and kiss a live transformer if you don't like what he did. Mshewww....

Timijo: According to the bible, if your eyes will lead you to sin, pluck it out! and that is exactly what Egyptian, Ali Afifi did only he didn’t pluck out his eyes but cut off his hands from his wrists.
Ali took the severe decision following his inability to stop stealing and the feeling of guilt that comes over him after every act of theft.
In a situation he described asa ‘battle pitched’ against the devil, Afifi, 27, went to the main train station in the western Egyptian town of Tanta four years ago and waited for the train to approach where he was before dipping his hands under its wheels as hundredsof other train passengers watched in horror.
Following the shock of what happened, Afifi’s father sent him to an assylum. Following his release, Afifi sought the help of a local Islamic scholar to assist in chopping off the other wrist but the man refused citing the fact that he was not a ruler nor in a position to make that decision.
Rather, the Islamic scholar advised him to repent and seek God’s help. Left with no other choice, Afifi decided to carry out the act by himself. According to him(Afifi), “when I was finally released from theassylum a few months ago, I cut the other hand off to make sure I’ll never steal again.

http://www.informationnigeria.org/2012/09/bizarre-27-year-old-man-cuts-off-his-own-hands-to-prevent-him-from-stealing.html

when i saw this headline, i knew only a muslim could commit this act. Well i wish him luck in his future endevours.

So what happens to those who dubiously collected d award in the past?

Danka7777: I can say emphatically that Ikemba Ojukwu was not a responsible man. 90% of Nairalanders will align with me on this. He may had be educated but not sensible, rational and responsible.

Sir, did your so called Biafran heroes also tell you these. Shaking my damn head for you. Get over it, you have an axe to grind with the Ikemba. Stop confusing us with so called 100% facts.

Danka7777: I will be honored to have you as one of my students just as Socrates was proud to have Aristotle as his student. After I am done with you, you would be able to reason freely and intelligently. You have a long way to go in this life. Accept my tremendous sympathy

No sir. I have read more books on the Biafran war and also heard firsthand accounts from my relative veterans. Don't try to be clever. I know your type sir. Your obvious BIAS has completely blinded your rational interpretation of the events that took place frm 67 to 70. Don't get me wrong. I mean no disrespect. Just stating d obvious.

Danka7777: To the statement in bold, how could you smugly say that? Say that to the families that lost their loved ones in the war and watch them crucify you in broad day light. If you didn't experience the pain of the war, you should be quiet and let those who felt the pain of the war speak.

I haven't even started on the war you are already feeling uneasy, what would happen if I did. I am working on that and will soon be creating a thread on this. It would be powerful, well researched and supported by living Biafran Heroes. Stay tuned and don't miss it!

I just needed a few of your comments to be able to properly profile you: a disgruntled ex biafran. Ojukwu had his shortcomings no doubt. But let's get one thing straight. He NEVER wanted a war. He was NEVER part of the actions that led to the coups, countercoup and the massacre of easterners in d north. He did what he had to do because the Gowon led Nigeria left him no choice. I don't know the reason he fled to Ivory coast, but looking back, i think i'm glad he took that action.

Danka7777: Point out where I derailed and we can discuss deeply into it. I have studied deeply into the civil war, and as a professional, I never speak with facts.

Shut up! You derailed by mistaking General Ojukwu's actions. By the way, the account of the civil war you read; was it the lies and half truths passed on to you by your awusa kith and kin?
