obailala:

So what do you propose?. . that Ibori and co should be freed pending when we have a flawless justice system?

So, is that the only alternative you see? If I tell you "the color is not white", so you'll jump up and shout the "color is black!". So, are there just two colors? This type of linear reasoning doesn't help.

To answer your question, all those who have broken the law should be arrested and prosecuted, applying due process and fair hearing.

Ibime:

Still waiting for Paddylo. . .

Ibime, you too dey find trouble o.

Too many morons in Kwara State.

babapupa:

First you were screaming and yelling about lack of federal presence in the east, now you're praising Jonathan. Is Jonathan federal or local?

NL get too many bipolar people I swear.

Twisted infantile logic, very popular with bus conductors in Lagos, illiterate market women in Oshodi and bad-mannered street walkers, "hustlers", in Victoria Island.

Given that X << Y, then X+1 neither implies X>Y nor X=Y.

Kobojunkie:

Yes, that is what colleges in the East spend their students times on, right?

Learning how to spell correctly is a prerequisite skill typically gained pre-college. Why haven't you learned to spell the word "Igbo"? Or are you just one of those annoying women who just enjoy being obstinate? Are you trying to prove something?

It is Yoruba not Yoruba.

The poster's argument cannot be sensibly opposed.

Selective justice is wrong and only increases injustice.

Kobojunkie:

@Poster, I actually attended one of the colleges in the east. . . . even though these type of stories are not unheard of, the schools were not so bad. When I say not as bad, I mean crime-ridden.

So Kobojunkie schooled in the East? Na wa oo. But why dem no teach am how to spell the name of the people wey dey there?

Ibo is to Igbo as Yoruba is to Yoruba.

bk/babe97:

^^^ Lol. Hahahaha. Aint nobody getting back to ish! This thread is about violent, young, college educated (?) Ibo dudes and Chics! If u wanna start a thread on "currency traders" feel free to do so on another thread, but until then, I aint falling for your Ibo tricks and u aint derailing this one!!!

@bk/babe97,

So, your ignorance is so deep that you can't tell an Igbo name? How can you argue about Igbo criminals when you're utterly incapable of even identifying them by name? Mumu.

So, what's the big deal about drawing Mohammed? Does the Quran say anything about drawing Mohammed? Why are you Muslims so ready to kill people for almost anything? Why is murder so central to your worldview? Most of you Muslims are just pathetic!

ALL juju claims are lies! ALL, no exception!

We must discard ALL aspects of our culture that make using the left hand a taboo.

This is not news. Nigeria has one of the most inept governments in the world.

Kobojunkie's main problem is that she's trying to turn a relative assertion into an absolute one.

You cannot assert that Igbo states are lagging behind and expect the discourse to end there. Lagging behind what states?

This could also be a case of grammatical confusion on Kobojunkie's part. The phrase "lagging behind" uses the verb "lag" in a transitive sense. So, for such an assertion to make any sense whatsoever, she must tell the reader the states that Igbo states are lagging behind, and also the development indices that show the lag _{(lag here has been used in an intransitive sense - see the difference?)}.

@mekuszyx,

Thank you for your solid defense of Igbo interests. Many of us admire your good works.

Ikengawo:

man, you ppl are slow lol.

you want a nigeria ruled by law, but when the law is enforced you get mad because you dont like law enforcers.

its illegal to wear those shirts in nigeria. period

Do you know the meaning of the term "illegal" or are you just trying to be annoying?

It is not illegal to wear "those shirts" in Nigeria, however, because the Nigerian Police Force are a bunch of illiterate zombified lunatics, they'll probably murder you for wearing "those shirts".

Obsequiousness.

Bletherer:

comments like this make wish I could just press DELETE on some peoples' posts!!! bringing jesus into the conversation like this is disrepectfull!!

But I didn't bring it, uyakachi did. See below:

uyakachi:

I THINK IS CHOICE
I CHOSE TO BE RIGHTY EVEN  TO NEXT WORLD
DONT FORGET THAT JESUS CHRIST IS RGTY,,  IF IT HAPPENS TO BE  CALL NAMES

ChinenyeN:

Cohomology seems to be on a mission. . .  

I'm just fed up with our people hesitating to discard the worthless aspects of our culture. I for one do not adhere to any aspect of our culture that I believe is useless. Examples:

1. Don't marry Osu - utter rubbish!
2. When seriously ill, consider going to see the dibia - nonsense!
3. Always obey your elders - the very worst aspect of our culture; see all the armed robbers called politicians are our elders; the younger ones keep obeying these fools. Any thieving elder must be slapped, punched in the face and spat on!
4. Marriage ceremony is very expensive - greedy elders again at it!
5. Better to marry from your village - who will comfort all those regretting marrying an evil witch from their village?

uyakachi:

I THINK IS CHOICE
I CHOSE TO BE RIGHTY EVEN  TO NEXT WORLD

Na lie!

Baba Jesus was definitely [url=http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~sirjon/lefthanded.html#C]left-handed[/url].

All the Muslims holding such views are retarded zombies.

It's such barbarians that have battered the image of Islam and reinforced in the hearts of many that Islam is an intolerant, crude, barbaric, and violent religion.

Jids:

Thanks for this thread, my 2 boys are left handed, I was about to stop them but when I read this thread and an article on independent newspaper (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/public-school-to-discuss-new-exams-for-lefthanders-1975595.html ) I changed my mind and just have to start encouraging them with their writtings

Good job!

Don't allow our backward culture make you hinder the development of your children.

I was born left-handed and my parents gave me all the support. I only had some problems with a few non-relatives (visitors to our home) who I gave glass cups with my left hand. I made sure I never greeted them again or run any errands on their behalf until they came to terms with the fact that God made me left-handed and I wasn't going to change it. They all later apologized and everything was cool. I was quite the stubborn lad back in the day.

School? I had no competition in school. Came 1st from Primary 1 to SSS 3. Laid WAEC and JAMB to waste. Left Nigeria and graduated summa cum laude from a top engineering school and got a PhD from another top engineering school in the states. My MIT-trained advisor was also left-handed!

There is nothing wrong in being left-handed. Except in backward cultures and despicable religions!

eldee:

Only 5% of people of age fifty are left handed.
Now compare that to your stats . . . and remember that most US Presidents get the post in their fifties.

eldee,

Thank you for narrowing down the demographics for proper comparison. Kudos!

Iyineda:

The worst part is when you get yeld at because you handed over something with your. . . LEFT hand. Wth?
At the PH airport, some security guy asked me - unpleasantly - to hand over my passport. I did so with my left hand and mind you he threw it back at me and shouted at me, in front of my mum. I was 18 at the time.

Sorry o!

That's an example of the many barbarians pretending to be humans scattered all over Nigeria. Why won't God just rid Nigeria of all these animals in human skin?

That security man is an a$$hole! If it was me, I would have spat on his ugly face! Bunch of retards in uniform!

Though I love Hollywood and Bollywood, I have a special ongoing romance with Nollywood.

Kudos to Ndi-Igbo for putting their characteristic dynamism into the Nigerian movie industry and making it the dominant movie industry in Africa and beyond!

Igbo kwenu!

Ignorance.

vanariso:

You are all concluding that left handed people are more creative.But I guess u guys are missing the point.Its always like that with clues.You only see what the designer wishes/wants you to see .

Whatever u guys say,Muslims will always beleive that mastery of the left hand is synonymous / tantamount to devil and his cohorts-demons.

So if all these people are increasing in number,then the devil and his cohorts are taking over and the world is coming to an end, my perspective pls, my conclusion pls, no hard feelings to all the lefties in da house.
Peace

@vanariso,

No problem, believe whatever you like, even believe that the moon is inside the sun - who cares? But please:

1. Do not kill those who do not share your beliefs.
2. Do not kill those who were born into Muslim families but later decided to abandon your Islam for another religion.

If Muslims like you can agree with these simple points, then Islam's very negative image may be salvageable.

Stop killing those who disagree with you!

Pain:

I wonder why the human mind is so easy to manipulate with just a little dose of information.

Has any one here pondered a little to come up with the Endless list of Successful Right Handed People?

The list of Left handed US Presidents is made up of only 8 out of 44 a mere 18%

You can carry out further statistics if you have the time and skills, but may I ask? Where is George Washington? Was Einstein Left Handed? Was Isaac Newton L.H?, Was Max Planck? etc

The Point is that you we have both dumb and brilliant lads on both "Sides of the Arm"

Enough of This. Besides, Im Ambidextrous, and I dont think im a Genius. Im just brilliant.

Actually, the percentage of left-handed people is estimated to be 10%.

Furthermore, if you consider the last 80 years, 50% of the US presidents have been left-handed, including one ambidextrous president. Recent history, in this discourse, is more relevant than ancient history when being left-handed had negative connotations in nearly all the cultures of the world.
