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?

Dignitary: The late Ojukwu(may his soul rest in peace ) had over 38 properties scattered all over Nigeria...hmmmnnnnnn!!!

I tot he spent all his money to defend his people in the civil war he orchestrated !!!

38 properties is like a ratio of one house in each state of d federation plus 2 more!!!

He really loved his people. IKEMBA NNEWI

Idio.t! His father was a multibillionaire. He inherited most if not all of his properties. Stop sounding like an ignoramus.

solidbroda: Satan cannot forgive. This is common sense. You do not need to be in a particular religion to know what is better for a fellow man. Free thinkers believe that Islam religion is a religion of en-slavery. And it is true, that's what you call yourselves, slaves. We who are not Muslims are not slaves, but children. Slaves don't think, they obey strait to what their masters say. Sons do, and they enjoy the benefits of their father. They even tell their father want they want. Now, that is freedom. I'm asking you all Muslims, ARE YOU FREE??

I'm sure they are not. How i wish they will repent and give their lives to Jesus Christ.

Aladinn: God has no religion. He's not a muslim. He doesn't perform Hajj neither does he fast during Ramadan. He's neither Jew nor a Christain. RELIGION WAS MADE FOR MAN AND NOT MAN FOR RELIGION. What God require from man is a contrite heart and making the world a better place than you met it. God cannot be contained in just a religion. HE'S JUST TOO BIG FOR THAT.

Agreed 95%. The only adjustment i have to make is that righteousness alone cannot save us from hell fire. Believing and confessing the name Jesus Christ will.

[/quote]I think it's you mr cassava flakes brain, that needs to shut up and respect people's opinion.

T9ksy: If you and your ilk truly believe your baseless asertion above, what then is stopping you ibos from directly fighting the

yorubas, for Lagos? Afterall, yorubas are cowards. So it should be a walk in the park for you gallant warriors.

I'll answer your question with one sentence. Yorobbers don't own Lagos.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]I disagree.

The law of Lagos State protects the law abiding people in that state against threats and nuisance in the community. The task force agents are empowered to raid and remove destitutes that run away or avoid govt rehabilitation programs.

I started a post few months ago....i think around June/July....in an attempt to demistify the constiution. Many Nigerians have no ground understanding of the constitution. People that despise Nigeria and cant reapect what it stands for are qjick to run and grab the constitution for shelter when their civic relationship is questioned. The constitution is the new new manuscript. In ancient times, scrolls and manuscripts were written in crypted language to befuddle the ordinary citizen so that the more he struggles against authority the deeper he gives them cause and reaaon to entrench control over his life. It is absolutely imperative that every citizen understand the constiution....not just read it but be able to interpree its intent and spirit.

On this deportation issue....i cannot speak for other states deportig non indigenes for other reasons.....but in the case of Lagos state, the govt , by invoking its statute and promise to protect lives and property of innocent and law abiding citizens, has acted in concordance with the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria.

Cosmic liberty is in accord with land covenants and a function of nativity to land. I dont know qhere you got this idea that freedom of rights in a constitution can be equated to cosmic benevolence......the two are separate and irreconciliable.

Cosmic benevolence is in synch wih customary laws, not democratic constitutions.[/quote]Oh shut dat buccal cavity of yours already. Who even told you that Yorubas or any tribe for that matter own Lagos? In case u havent noticed, Lagos is a former capital. Developed with resources from other regions. Kapish?

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Your case is simply a sad one.

Keep projecting your fear to the Yorubas. Igbos fear Yoruba like no man's business.[/quote]Yeah. They fear them. Same way some cowardly yoruba Generals shit in their pants and prostrated before a common Major during d Abacha era.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]So long as the Igbos refuse to build bridges, a middle beltan of good quality with govern Nigeria before an Igbo man will. Beside haven't the Igbos produced President in this democratic dispensation? After all is Senate President not a President ...What did Nigeria even gain? 2015, any zone that want to produce Mr. President must bring out someone with track record near Fashola's not political jobbers[/quote]Emmmm...broa, you sure say u don take ur drugs today? What makes a common senate president the President of the country?

OYINBOGOJU: Exactly my point.

I bet Igbo has none,which makes then incapable of running the affairs of this country.

And if i may ask, what "good" leaders have your cowardly lineage have to present to us incase we demand for one?

nusdog: You can abuse allah and go free but not mohammed. Just like someone said dont be surprised if this guy gets murdered in prison by a fellow inmate.

Hold on nigger. I insult the creator and go free, then insult a so called human being/prophet and face death? Some of you muslims are less intelligent than goats.

SlyIg: This Arabic religion is gaining the front page of Nairaland day in and day out. They are becoming too notorious as each day pass. Let this man be arrested and lets see if something good can be reported from them apart from boko haram bombing, protest and all the numerous rubbish that they are well known for. But can anything good come out from this religion?

Heck NO!!!!!!!!

America don kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Arresting the man will: calm the nerves of the brainwashed ignorant murderous muslims, and put the hero out of the reach of jihadist muslims who may want to kill him for insulting their prophet.

Eko Atlantic: Ondo, Ogun and other S/Western states you better get up from your slumber and chase these murtherfvcker back to their erosion-disease infected region.

Nairaland owner forget also not to send them away from your site, to prevent your site from been hijacked by their apku eating mentality

Seems like another Yoruba lunatic has escaped from the Psychiatric hospital. Someone gag that Yoruba nigger.

I would rather vote for Patience Jonathan than Atiku.

slimyem: why am i not surprised?
I was at the state high Court a few months ago to swear an affidavit.
I was led to where to type it in the court premises and it was typed with a typewriter!!!
Naija..i hail thee!!

Typewriters are still used in some courts in the U.S and U.K.

Abeg i need gateman work for dat kain place o.

Azumy: No doubt abt it dat majority of christians on nairaland r bunch of hypocrites! U shld av gone on d street nd display ur irrational sense of thinkin and judgin! Imagine sum pple crossin muslims on d post little did u noe dat sum christians disguise as muslims 2 go on hajj nd nt performin hajj but for self reasons. Back then around 1999 sum christians were detaind for disguisin as muslims jst to stay back in d holy land!how weird?

Liar. You idiotic muslim women should beta tink of fighting for your rights instead of happily staying at home and covering your faces like masquredes.

If they could treat the superior Aboki muslims like this, one wonders what will happen to the Yoruba muslims like maklatunji and shymeks: Hahahahaa!!!!!

@Onila, na PHOTOSHOP joo!!!

Idowuogbo: Amen oooo!! I claim dat prayer

Una don enta emergency prayer now. LOL. But sha, we need to be prayerful these days cos the times are evil.

ismhab: NO, BUT THE PROPHET IS RED LINE, THAT NO BODY SHOULD CROSS IT.

So do u kill because mohammed asked you to, for the sake of the promised 77virgins or just becasue u muslims are bloodthirsty barbarians?

shymexx: But why did they declare war against Muslims?

Who cares if they're barbaric - let's lead by example and allow freedom of religion...

No culture is superior - and the West peddling cultural superiority that would make the world more divided is a bad precedence at this stage in our civilisation and consciousness...

It's a free world! - and history is repeating itself... This was the same way they called African religions barbaric and waged war against our cultures and religions - then forced Christianity on us... We all know where we Africans are after centuries of indoctrination - we're still the lowest race of people on this planet!

There he goes again. The Yoruba muslim lunatic.
